 "The crying need in the Terri tory is an increase in airports and landing facilities. I feel that the development of Alaska is insepar- ably linked with the immediate fu- ture development of aviation and believe it imperative that more air fields be established in this country where distances are so great and the population so small. Where one flies for hundreds of miles over uninhabited and often uninhabit- able country, frequent landing g fields are important, and the full development of aviation is difficult and has a tendency to be retarded by the lack of airports.
 Considering the great distances travelled and the great variety of weather, the present practice of air travel by Pacific Alaska Airways becomes perfectly safe because of the two-way radio equipment used on all planes and the twin motors will soon be used exclusively. The efficiency of the comany can best be described by it's time tables which show that it's established routes, between Juneau and Fair banks and between Fairbanks and | Nome, save vast amount of time As both an ex-pilot and a casual observer, I would say that the flu : ture of the company is unlimited" |" MT.

Polar bear hunting out of Point Barrow is unique experience, even if no bears are sighted, ac- cording to Roderick Tower, New York broker and prominent sports man, who returned on the Pacific Alaska Airways Electra Sunday on his way south after spending the last few weeks in the Arctic. He will continue south on the Yukon this evening on his way to New York where he was called by busi- ness.

 As far as is known no polar bears were sighted by any of the party, though MT Mcdonnell re- mained at Point Barrow for an additional week hoping for success in securing a trophy, Mir Tower said.
 Polar Bear Scarce
 Polar bear tracks and a young seal, recently killed and partly eat en, were seen by MT Tower and MT. Mcdonnell though they failed to sight one of the big white ami mals during their stay in the far north. Polar bears were scarce along the Arctic coast, according to the natives. At Point Barrow. where an average of about one hundred and fifty are ordinarily killed only ten were obtained dur ing the last winter and the same thing was true at Wainwright, Kotzebue and other points" MT. Tower said.
 However, far from being discour- age, MT Tower plans to return north for another hunt for the elusive polar bear
 'The only way to go on a polar bear hunt is to travel light and plan to buy or borrow clothes and equipment on the trip north or after you arrive. No clothes one could take along would be half warm enough at Point Barrow. It

VATICAN CITY, May 4.-For the
first time in history the Holy See and
Japan are to enter mutual diplomatic
relations, prelates reported today.
They said the establishment Of a
nuncio in Toxic to replace the present
apostolic delegate and the establish
ment OF a Japanese embassy or lega-
ton in the Holy See is imminent.
In high Vatican circles it was said
the understanding between the Land
of the Rising Sun, with its mystic
Oriental religion, and this center Of
the Roman Catholic world followed
lengthy negotiations between them.
The negotiations came to q head
recently, these sources said, and a
formal announcement concerning the
foundation of mutual diplomatic re-
lations would be forthcoming in "due
time"
The Pope's decision regarding deli
cate matters of government are in
variably kept to himself until he sees
f1t to issue DEGREES, and the prelates
admitted that even now there may be
delay in the negotiations.
They insisted, however, they believed
the question is already settled and
that the near future would see
Japanese Ambassador or Minister here
to take place in the diplomatic pews
reserved for the heads of missions to

OXFORD U. MASTER
LECTURES AT C. U.
Rev. Martin c. Darcy Traces
Trend of Contemporary
Thought in World.

Rev. Martin C. Darcy, S. j., mas
ter of Campion Hall. oxford Univer-
sity, lectured last night in the music
hall at Catholic University, tracing
the trend of contemporary thought
throughout the world. The speaker
found that most of the philosophical
concept does not dignity mankind.
"Only a philosophy which has
taught the dignity of man." Father
Darcy said, "a philosophy based on
Plato and Aristotle, and now with the
love in It which Augustine breaches,
can justify its existence"
Father DARCY labeled the nine
teenth century as one of complacency,
saying at that time that democracy
became another word for divine ut
terance. This absolutiSm led to a COM
placency of mind" he said. Science
taught that man was evolved from
lower beings, had passed through the
purgatory of a lower life and was then
on the heights. Evolution meant that
man went on indefinitely"
Those were the ideas of paradise on
earth, the priest said. That great
idea invigorated mans actions. but in
such a way that right and wrong were
confused"
Father D'Arcy's address was heard
by a number of distinguished guests,
including Justice Pierce Butler Of the
Supreme Court and United States Sem
ator Murray of Montana. The speak
er was introduced by the rector Of the
Catholic University. the Right Rev.
James H Ryan, Bishop of Modra.

The President suggested. it was said.
that the department and the lines get

The contractors are Pan-American

A precedent for working out rate
reductions by conference between OFF,

partment. was the instance in which
rates paid the Canadian Colonial Co.,
which flies the mail from New York
to Montreal, were cut from So cents TO
