GOLD DICCERS'
 ARRIvE; GIVEN
 GOOD WELCOME
Members of Party Taken to Mendenhall Glacier,
 Also to A. J. Mine

A number of business and profes- sional women with unusual occupa- tions such as plumber, casket maker and corporation lawyer, as well as the more customary feminine occu- pations, are included in the Gold Diggers' Cruise" party which ar rived in Juneau aboard the Vic- toria.
 . Most of the Gold Diggers' re- mained aboard the steamer last night during the short interval the Victoria stayed in Juneau before crossing the Channel to Dcaglas.
 Local Entertainment
 This morning at o'clock the Victoria recrossed the channel to the A. J. dock and entertainment of the visitors began immediately. Bus and taxicab accommodations for nearly a hundred passengers for the glacier trip were parked at the dock gate, and large party oT visitors, escorted by guides, set out on a tour of the A. J. mill
 Miss Lulu M. Fairbanks, who with Miss Daisy Dudley organized the cruise, state that 36 states are re- presented. Since leaving Seattle, Mrs. Geline Macdonald Bowman, retired president of the National Federation of Business and Profess sional Womens Clubs, has been, at each meal served on the ship, the guest of the cruise members from a different state. Mrs. Fairbanks also said that four states were as- signed to shipboard entertainments each night.
 All of the Gold Diggers" were taken to Mendenhall glacier and heard the lectures at the museum delivered by Rev. A. P. Kashevarcff. :. Many of them went througs. :he A. J. mill.
 To Rifle Range
 Mrs. Geline Macdonald Bowman was taken to the rifle range, to visit the homes at Aux Bay, and to the Governors Home. She delivered an official greeting to all Alaskans in a broadcast from station KINY at 1l:20 am.
 Many impressions were common to majority of the cruise party. Some of the most frequently ex- pressed impressions concerned the up-to-date style of clothing dis played by local merchants, the pleasantly informal greetings from strangers, and the unfailing court cry of A. J. mill employees.

LEON TROTzKY SEES ANOTHER
 WORLD CRISIS
Italo-Ethiopia Dispute Be lieved Forerunner of
 Fight of Nations

OSLO. Norway. July 27.-Leon Trotzky sees storm clouds gathering for another world war as the re- suit of the East African situation.
 Trotzky said: T believe that the Italo- Ethiopia crisis is taking the same relation to new world war as the Balkan. war of 1912 was to the world war of 1914. It is inn possible to say however whether a world war will break out in three or five years but we ought to focus rather on the short time than the long time"

 CLAIM ACTION WOULD SERVE AS PEACE GESTURE
Italy Declares She Would Interpret Such Move

CLOSING WOULD MEAN DETOUR FOR WARSHIPS
President Assures Nation U. s. Will Fight Shy of
 Foreign Disputes

LONDON, July 27--While Brit ish leaders busted themselves with drawing plans for a complete showdown when the Italo-Ethio- plan dispute is aired at Geneva next week, the reputable London Sunday Times urged Great Britain to close the Suez Canal as meth cd of ending the trouble.
 The paper suggested that Eng and act in the capacity of a pro-
 ecting power in closing the canal, the action to be sanctioned by the League of Nations as the treaty calls for the canal remaining open in time of war as well as in time of peace to all ships of all nations. The paper said Italy cannot expect the treaty to be observed as Italy is violating four treaties if war comes.
 Disciplinary Action
 Closing the canal would be in measure disciplinary action. causing Italy's warships to detour thou sands of miles.
 Tt would place the canal and it's controllers in a new honorable role as guardians of world peace the newspaper said.
 1t is doubtful. according to in- formed circles. that Britain would seek such mandate at Geneva except possibly as Q last resort
 Italy has stated it would view closing of the canal as an act of war.
 Meanwhile al Italian official in London said it was the belief in his country's government circles that Emperor Halle Selassie was planning to annex a slice of Ital- ian territory and extend his em- pire to the sea-

 The assertion that United States isolation would boom collective peace efforts was contained in a non-partisan program of political action presented here by leading economists, publicists and writers.

 3. A baseball game, tentatively scheduled for this afternoon De- tween the Chicago and the Destroy CT Division Four, has been post poned and probably will be played tomorrow morning. the winner meeting the Elks, City League team, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
 4. There probably will be no crew race between the Chicago and the Coast Guard cutter Talla- pooSa.
 Final Days Begin
 In addition to these late develop ments, Juneau was considering the final three-day program of wei come to the Navy. In tabulation form, it follows:
 Today ! 1 to o'clock this afternoon Public visitation of destroyers and U. s. s. Chicago
 9:30 to l2:30 o'clock tonight dance at Scottish Rite Temple honoring commissioned of ficers.
 9 o'clock tonight Enlisted mems dance in Natatorium at Douglas Enlisted men admitted without charge.

 Midnight-Chicago leaves.
 The scheduled arrival of the Portland and Houston in Aux Bay today makes Juneau and vicinity host to approximately 5000 Navy men, the largest number of service men ever to visit this community at one time. The two cruisers, it was learned earlier in the week, had been offered a choice ,enroute from Seward to Seattle, of calling at Yakutat or Aux Bay over the weekend.
 No Crew Race
 Apparently, the commanding of ficers aboard the cruiser chose Aux Bay, near Juneau. It was learned aboard the Chicago this afternoon that the two ships definitely were due today. They are expected to leave Monday along with the re- maining Navy vessels to end the welcome celebration.
 It also was apparent today that Juneau's own Coast Guard cutter Tallapoosa would not be given an to meet a fourth Navy opponent this summer in whale boat race Commissioned officers aboard the Chicago explained that they had no crew in physical trim to meet the highly touted Coast Guarders who have defeated three Navy challenges in convincing style this summer.
