BY CONSTANTINE BROWN

war clouds in Europe and
Asia are helping to draw North
and South America together in
a cooperative move such as
has not been seen in the four CEN
turies of civilized existence in the
Americas.
An inter American conference for
the maintenance of peace will be held
this Summer at Buenos Aires. Secre-
tary Hull and Assistant Secretary
Sumner Welles will be the chief
spokesrnen of the administration. Pres
ident Roosevelt doubtless considers it
must conference. He is determined
to make 1t a success.
State Department officials and rep
resentatives of the South American
continent are genuinely optimistic re-
garding the outcome Of that confer
ence. Leaders of Central and South
American nations are more responsible
toward an agreement with the United
States than ever before in the history
Of pan-American relations.
Why this change in the mentality
Of the diplomats of the two con-
tinents, who heretofore regarded any
conference Of this kind as a forum
for brilliant oratory and nothing more?
The determination Of the President
to obtain concrete results at Buenos
Aires is due not only to consideration
of internal politics, but to a genuine
feeling that in the present chaotic
conditions of the world there is only
one hope for a return to normal eco
nomic conditions on the two con-
tinents-an honest collaboration be-
tween the North and the South
Americas.
Hoover Trip in 1928 Failed.
Racial differences, European in
trigueS and q clumsy Dutch uncle
policy on the part of the United States
have always rendered difficult an un.
dersta nding between this and the Latir
American countries. President-elec
Herbert Hoover attempted rap
prochement in 1929 by making a good
will trip. He failed. The British Wert

Furthermore, our diplomats still
believed in world of peace b,
treaties and agreements and locke,

Hardened, raw-boned. gaunt, pinch
ed-faced women attended the service
in the recreation hall in Palmer.
A homemade pine box served as
a coffin The baroness of the box was
hidden by wreaths of wild flowers
picked by the women of the colony.
The dull drone of the minister's
voice chanted the litany of the dead.
The deep voices of the men, the
contraltos and soft voices of the
women, blended in an old camp
meeting hymn that in itself was
prayer:
20 God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter meath the stormy blast
And our eternal home"
The short service over, six men
hoiSted the little pine box upon their
shoulders and the slow march to
virgin funeral plot began.
At the grave this little group Of
men and women who had so bravely
set out upon the great adventure q
few weeks before, stood with bowed
heads
Men swallowed hard and tears
coursed down the cheeks OF women.
Left Own Children Ill.
They had left their own children
tossing about in their beds under
the hot canvass tents, suffering from
the same disease that had taken
this little life

being shoveled against the smooth
lid of pine.

for millions of years had been wait
ing for man to come.
| AS if the colonists felt the presenc'
of these barriers of the North Land
as the last shovel full of dirt wa
packed down upon Matanuska's frs
grave. they turned and in what ap
peared to be an impotent rage, shool
their fists at the dazzling whitenes
of the far-fiung peaks-to the East
to the North, to the West.
They had learned that Alaska toda.
is still a frontier.
These farmers, who were trans
planted to the valley by the admin
istration, are better off today thai
they were on the relief rolls in thei
respective States.
Even when they learn at first ham
this Summer that they have settles
to farm in country where ther
is no farming there is no reason TO
l them to leave Alaska.
Alaska is a country Of natura
resources. An Scent bounty is pal
on trout regardless of size. TIL
trout eat the eggs Of the halibut an
salmon when these fish come VI
the streams to spawn in the Sprin
time. The halibut and salmon in
dustry brings the Alaskan fisherme
from eight to ten millions Of dollar
annually. A IS bounty is paid o.
eagles. This bird of prey sweep
down and pecks out the eyes Q
the halibut and salmon. A SIS bount
is paid on wolves and the Alaska
wolf pack ranges the territory i
groups of 20 to so.
II they do not care for this typ
of work the new colonists can tur
to mining, fishing. logging, trappin
and prospecting. At any one Of thes
occupations men are more than max

There never has been a depressio
in Alaska.
Trappers, loggers. prospectors an
miners still blow into the coastal towr
with thousands of dollars In the

call on drinks for the house.

GIVEN REPEAL
OF RED BAN
House to Give Added
Time to Discussing
Problem in D. 6.

A bill to repeal provisions
against teaching or advocating
communism in the District schools
was favorably reported by the Sen
ate Committee on Education and
Labor today, while in the lower
chamber Speaker of the House
ByrnS predicted that prolongation
of the current session would allow
for another District day, enabling
further discussion of the RED
rider" problem.
The ByrnS prediction was based
on the belief that the House will
be in session June 8 and that there
is no possibility of adjournment
next week unless the tax bill is
accepted as is, a development
which the Speaker said he didn't
think would happen.
Speaker ByrnS rendered this
opinion during an interview with
a delegation of teachers and
other organizations which came
to enlist his aid in clearing the
way for House consideration of
the "red rider" measure.
Assails Rep. SissOn
Emphasizing that he had no
objection to repeal Of the rider,
Mr.. Byrns bitterly assailed Bert
Sisson CD of New York, author
of the repeal bill, who yesterday
claimed the House chieftain had
prevented consideration of the
repeal measure on the District
Day of May II.
The repeal bill was considered by
the Senate committee at an execu-
tive meeting several days ago, and
the report in its favor was made
today by Senator David I Walsh
CD of Massachusetts,.
Despite the fact that the public
was not allowed to express its
opinion on the bill before the
Senate committee, the report car
ried six grounds for repeating the
provision. They were:
l. That the pupils should be al
lowed to get acquainted with the
principles of Communism as we'll
as those of other economic or
political systems.
Called a Restraint
2. That the rider is a restraint
on teachers.
8. That the rider is an insult
to the Board of Education.
4. That the rider is out of har-
mony with American traditions of

COURT PLANS
LICENSE TEST

Judge Walter Casey, of Police
Court, set the stage today for a
testing in the District Court of
Appeals of the local license law
in so far as it applies to occasion
ally used buses of the Capital
Transit Company for sightseeing
purposes.
The Police Court magistrate
handed down an opinion in which
he held that buses taken off reg
ular routed service occasionally
for sightseeing tour were subject
to the special 500 year license
fee provided in the license law.
Regular routed buses pay a fee
of 8 mills per mile, which annual
ly is generally under 500.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Human D. Folsom, representing
the District, and officials of the
Capital Transit Company. repre-
sented by Attorney G. Thomas
Dunlop, tried the case a month
ago on an agreed statement of
facts, for the specific purpose Of
testing the law.
Company officials will appeal
Judge CaSey'S decision. On Tues
day, it has been scheduled for the
company to go into court, plead
not guilty and have a fine as
sessed, thereby paving the way
for the appeal.

Ken Murray
Says:

Regardless of how much the
French press agents claim to
have enlarged the liner Nor.
mandie, the British say that the
Queen Mary, now en- route to
America, is the biggest thing
that ever flOated OF course,
as usual they forget to mention
those loans during the war.
If, instead of being handled
by the government, the loans
had been made by an autOmO-
bile finance company, we'd soon
be in possession of the worlds
largest two ships.
As far as I'm concerned, there
is little to choose between these
two leviathanS in crossing the
old Atlantic No, sir! It's u
tOSSup either way.
And now that John Bull has
the Queen Mary safely launched,
he'd better start patching up
those holes II Duce punched in
that British ship of state.

DISL|KES PLAN
TO CONTINUE
OLD SETUP
Chides Congress for
Failure to Make Use
of Tax Statistics

Discussing the deadlock of the
District Appropriation bill between
the House and Senate, President
Roosevelt today exhibited unmis-
taxable dissatisfaction at the idea
of having to substitute continu-
ing resolution rather than an ap- &.
preparation bill based on the esti-
mates he sent to Congress through
the Bureau of Budget.
He also chided the two District
Committees of Congress at not
having made use of the tax in
formation sent to both of them by
the Treasury Department more
than a year ago. The President
gave the impression that, in his
opinion, Congress would find
plenty of material on which to
base any tax study for the Ma
tional Capital in the Treasury
report.
Frowns On Resolution
Asked whether he had given
any consideration to the report
that Congress might adopt a reso.
luton continuing District appro-
priations for the next fiscal year,
the President answered that a
continuing resolution was not sat
isfactory but that it was better
than no appropriation at all. The
continuing resolution, however,
would retain the Federal contribu-
ton of $5,7O0,00O to the Districts
finances.
In speaking of the proposal Of
Senator Thomas CD, of Okla
homa, chairman of the subcom-
mittee on District appropriations,
authorizing the President to ap.
point commission to determine
the proper fiscal relations between
the Federal Government and the
District of Columbia, President
Roosevelt referred to the tax in.
formation he had sent to the Dis.
trict committees of both Houses.
He inferred that there was sui.
ficient data in this report to give
Congress the proper information,
but said that if Congress wanted
another commission, it would be
all right with him.
Will Explain to Senate
Senator Thomas said he would
make a statement on the Senate
floor outlining the difference Of
opinion between the Senate and
the House on a Federal contribu.
ton to help pay the cost of the
District government. He said he
hoped to make it as fair as pos.
Sible, but the Senate felt that
WaShingtonians were paying close
to the highest per capita tax Of
any city in the country and the
Federal Government should make
a reasonable contribution.
Senator Carter Glass CD, Of
Virginia, another conferee, indi.
Gated that he did not care to enter
into any more conferences over
the bill. Senator Thomas said
there would be no use of holding
a conference unless the House
came around to the Senate'S way
of thinking, and therefore he was
forced to offer the resolution. He
said:
"As far as the letter is con.
cerned, calling for another con.
ference, I will answer it by send.
ing the House cOnferees the
statement and a copy of the two
resolutions. 1 don't think it
would be any use to hold an.
other conference except to sign
