MAKES WORLD SPEECH

BERLIN, May 2l--Late today, President Hitler told the world that the victors of the world war turn ed their backs on the peace princi- pal alid down by President Wilson and as result Germany was fore ed to rearm although her greatest desire was for peace and friendship with her neighbors.
 The German President said, to this end, he proposed mutual non- aggression pacts with all of Ger many's neighbors excepting Lithu- ania, but included Russia by in- ference. He said however, Germany as the ''bitterest and most fanati- cal enemy of Bolshevism would not join any general security pact that might compel the Nazis to fight on the side of Communism.
 Bomb Elimination
 President Hitler also proposed elimination of aerial bombs and fire and gas explosive bombs from warfare declaring i've believe if the people of the world would unite jointly in destroying all their fire, gas and explosive bombs this would be cheaper affair than destroy ing each other. I cannot close my address better than by repeating our confession of faith in peace. ,
 Hitler's address, long awaited, came as a definite statement of Germany's relationship to the rest of the world.

YOUNG DOCTORS LEAVE JUNEAU ON BARROW HOP
Pennsylvania Physicians to Study Influenza Germ
 in Northern Post

Those germs that have been causing all that influenza trouble at Point Barrow are due for a mighty thorough inspection in the next few days. For. this afternoon, two hiehly-trained bacteriologists from the University Of Pennsyl vania, Dr. E. s. Pepper and Dr. Horace Petit, left Juneau via the Pacific Alaska Airways' Lockheed- Electra for the northern commun- ity.
 The two young medical men ar rived this morning on the Yukon from Seattle and will reach Fair banks tonight. Then they'll be flown in to Barrow where they will begin research work which may go far toward finding preventative vaccine for influenza.
 Attention. was attracted to Bar row recently when many native deaths were recorded. Because the communits is so isolated, scientific centers in the States were agreed that it was an ideal place in which to segregate the influenza germ, as it was held to be unlikely that any transient could have taken the disease into Barrow.
 Agencies Combine
 Therefore, the University of Pennsylvania, whose medical school is of national repute, several Phila- delphia citizens, the Alaska Steam ship Company and the Pacific Alas ka Airways combined to make the trip of the two scientists possible. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Ameri- ca's famous flier, now member of the American Airways staff, arranged the itinerary. Col. Lind bergh spent much time at Point Barrow several years ago.
 Doctors Petit and Pepper are taking vaccine in with them and will test it's effectiveness. But, more important than that, they will take several cultures from which they hope to be able to separate the virus influenza Virus from Phila- delphia, Porto Rico and London al- ready has been examined and found to be identical. The Point Barrow virus will be compared with these three.
 To Return Soon
 A standardized vaccine may be the result.
 The two physicians, members of the bacteriology staff of the Medi- cal School at the University of Pennsylvania, will spend about two days at Barrow, then will be re- turned to Juneau by airplane. They hope to board the southbound Yu- kon here next Monday.

A vast reservoir of potential credit

base has broadened further through

could be erected on the country's

Business still SHES at dipping into
the huge credit pool. Total loans of

credit situation to secondary places.
Clarification Needed.
The gold clause decision, they point
out, should 60 far to clear remaining
doubt over the value Of the dollar.
Uncertainty over the value Of the
dollar, they say. is a primary reason
why business for many months had
refused to avail itself of the accu-
mulating supply of credit.
Since last September the impress
sion has grown, in markets and else
where, that the administration was
content to let business adjust itself
to the present dollar. But the Su-
preme Courts gold clause decision
remained as an overhanging uncer-
tainty.
The general belief here is the gold
clause ruling will clarity the whole
monetary outlook, whether it goes for
or against the New Deal efforts to
cheaper the dollar and relieve the
debt burden.
