STOCKHOLM, Sweden.-Swed-

the Soviet flag flying from the
masthead of the Drottning Victo-

any comment on this indication
of the dissatisfaction of Swedish
sailors with the government, and
have tried to minimize the incident

 We have received a reply to the letter which we addressed to our representative in Washington, which reads as follows: Reference is made to your letter of August 28 in which you request information regarding the possibility of establishing air mail service between Juneau White horse and Fairbanks. It is quite evident that the Second Assistant Postmaster General would approve the establishment of this route and would order service to be instituted If there were funds available with which to issue proposals for bids.
 "'At the present time however, beth the Postoffice Department and Delegate Dimond of Alaska are agreed that no action in this mat ter can be taken until such time as Congress convenes and a Deficiency Appropriation is voted upon by the House.
 MT. Dimond quotes Harllee Branch. Second Assistant Postmas- ter General, as saying he intends to apply to the Bureau of the Bud- get for the approval of an approp- riation to take care of air mail service for Alaska.
