Japanese-American Amity WiH Be Fostered by New
 Foreign Minister Arito

TOKYO, May 6.--Japan "in her solicitation for peace in East Asia cannot remain indifferent" to large Soviet troop concentrations in the Far East, Hachiro Arito, new For eign Minister, told the House of Peers today.
 Japanese Soviet relations he ad- ded, cannot be said to be alto gether felicitious. The fact that the Soviet Government maintains excessive armamants on remote outposts in the Far East, how ever, stressed Tokyo's desire for normal peaceful relations, with the Soviet"
 Arito declared he would devote his best efforts to the further ance of Japanese-American amity and understanding"
 Only paragraph of the For eign Ministers speech was devoted to American relations. This state ment was: Tn the Japanese Am erican friendship lies the very key to maintenance of peace in the Pacific. It is most fortunate that not only are the economic rela- tions of the two countries com plimentary but that they as na- lions always respecting each others position and aims, should collaborate more than for insuring peace in the Pacific.
 T shall devote my best efforts to furtherance of Japanese Am erican amity and understanding, v Hachiro Arito said.

COLISEUM APT. BLAZE CAUSES
 S2,000 DAMAGE
Two Alarms Sounded Late Yesterday Afternoon
 Good Work of Bremen

A fire at the Coliseum Apart nents, causing damages estimated oy Fire Chief V. w. Mulvihill at s2,O00, was extinguished last even- Ing by the Juneau Fire Depart nent. Two alarms were sounded he first at $40 pm, and the sec ,nd immediately after the arrival of Fire Chief Mulvihill at the scene of the fire. Immediate re- jponse to both alarms, and rapid efficient work on the part of the members of the Fire Department ;oon brought the flames under control, and the fire was entirely ,xtinguished at ' o'clock, little nore than an hour after the first alarm.
 Starts in Ash Can
 The fire, when started in an ash can in the rear hallway on the third, or top floor of the building, was discovered by Postmaster AL bert Vile, who occupies nearby apartment, and who quickly tele- phoned an alarm. The fla m e S charred the walls of the hallway and burned through the ceiling into the attic above.
 Gaining volume in the attic the flames burst through the roof of the building, and burned through the attic floor at another point above bedroom in an apartment occupied by Henry Sully. At one point in the hallway hole was burned through the outside wall of the building.
 Damage to apartments and furn- ishings in the building were large ly from smoke and water, Chief Mulvihill said. Some damage was caused to the rear of the stage at the Coliseum Theatre, almost en- tirely from water, which did not interfere with the regular motion picture shows last night.
 The building was insured with companies represented by Gould and Gould, Allen Shattuck and Stanley Grummett.
 Hundreds watched the Fire De- partment boys at their work.
 Lines of hose were laid from all directions, one from lower Front Street over the roofs of the ad- joining buildings.

THE '36 CAMPAIGN

Back in January, around the tune of Alfred E. Smiths address at the American Liberty League Banquet in Washington, political observers were studying the possible fields of active opposition to the renomina- ton and reelection of Franklin De- lano Roosevelt.
 Not a few mentioned Massachu- setts; at that time, it seemed an appropriate place. Former Gov ernor Joseph B. Ely, close friend and associate of Smith, was per- sistently expressing his opposition to Roosevelt. And Smith has al- ways held a vast popularity in Bos- ton.
 But, as true elsewhere, the oppo- sition in Massachusetts collapsed. In Tuesdays primary, 38 delegates to the Philadelphia convention were elected and 36 of them are defin- itely pledged to Roosevelt. The oth- CT two were said to be Roosevelt minded"
 The Presidents name was not en- tered in Massachusetts.
 It was entered, however, in the Pennsylvania primary, and he had opposition.
 Entered against him was Colonel Henry Breckinridge, the New York lawyer and an Assistant Secretary of War in the early days of the Wilson Administration.
 Breckinridge harbors no illusions about his candidacy. AS he once told the writer:
 Those Democrats who oppose the present administration must have a means of expressing their opposi- tion. I intend to give them the opportunity to do so in as many states as I can with the limited means I have"
 On the basis of the latest count the Roosevelt vote in Pennsylvania approximated 100000; that for Col onel Breckinridge from 10000 to 5O,000
 In the '32 election, Roosevelt boiled almost 1,296,000 votes in Pennsyl- vania. The Republicans claimed the primary total this week was indicative of a loss of New Deal But the Democrats said it was in- dicative of no such a thing; in- stead, they found cause for elation in such a vote in a preferential primary.
 The Massachusetts primary like wise afforded great satisfaction for the proponents of Governor Ali Landon, of Kansas.
 None of the possible G. O. P. nom- inees was entered in the primary But in the -write-in" votes small percentage of those writing, Lan- don was far ahead of the rest.
 He boiled 76,7l0 votes as against 7,214 for Herbert Hoover. 4,342 for

NEW YORK, as of week ending May 2.-(By Associated Press) - The United States and Great Bri- tain have been the mainstays of naval limitation.
 In the customary pacific period following a war, they forced through the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, with it's limitation on building and it's 5-5-3 ratio (on Britain, Amer ica and Japan, respectively)
 But just as all international ef- forts for disarmament have failed, in the resurgence of preparedness so has the limitation of navies. Ja- pan. long irked by the ratio ln- equality, was first to denounce the Washington pact; France did ike wise. And the recent London Ma val conference failed to effect a new agreement
 Over the world, nations are build ing.
 To maintain it's power on the seas it's first line of defense, Britain this week announced it's largest ship building program since the World War.
 The British will build 38 new warships. including two battleships of around 35,0O0 tons. Naval bases throughout the world will be strengthened. Millions of dollars will be spent for munitions and fuel supplies.
 In Washington, the largest peace time naval appropriation in Ameri- can history-$531 ,OOO, ,00o-was before the Senate.
 The measure-passedb by the House PIP to 73-would authorize the Na- WY Department to build two battle ships of 35,O0O ton maximum at an estimated cost of $5l ,00O, ,O00 each. The bill also provides for increasing the Naval man-power.

OTHER FOREIGN AFFAIRS

May Day, as the International holiday of workers, was inaugurated half a century ago by Marxists and other Radical revolutionary groups.
 It is the day when anarchists, syndicalists, communists and social ists can forget their theoretic diff ferences and march side by side singing the "Internationale."
 Seldom has an internationale ob- servance of May Day been as peace full as this year. The demonstra- tions were as large as in previous years, but were marked by few dis orders.
 Observers will closely watch the session of the Council of the League of Nations next Monday, waiting to determine if the foreign policy of the French has been changed.
 With Il Duce's armies over-rlln- ning Ethiopia, the value of addi- tional sanctions against Fascist Italy-sought by the British-was a subject of much doubt.
 Throughout Italy, in many cities, the Fascist prematurely celebrated the occupation of Addis Ababa by the invaders.
 Officials strove in vain to halt the demonstrations of victory"
 The British concern in the Med i iterranean area was increased by the death of King Fuad I, of Egypt.
 Fuad was pro-British; he was placed in power by Britain in the World War days. After Britain re- linquished it's protectorate in 1922, Fuad became King. He died Tues day, at the age of 68.
 His son, Crown Prince Farouk, was proclaimed King. A regency, named by Fuad shortly before his death, will govern with the 16-year- old monarch until he reaches his majority.
 The political strife rampant in Egypt in recent months-with much of it directed against British dom ination-was further complicated by Fuad's death.

 Mining Prosperity
 "The mining industry IS entering a new era of prosperity brought about by the Administrations gold policy, and general increased busi- ness activity.

It is gratifying to note that during this summer sea- son unemployment practically dis appears, although in winter it is un- doubted that the Administration excellent program of relief and work relief should be continued.
 Tt is most gratifying to observe that the returning prosperity of oul entire country is resulting in the extending of the fishing operations in Alaska, evident from numerous conversations I have had with fish, ermen to the westward, new can nery at Cordova, "ud the genera activity in that very important Al aska industry"
