VITAL STAGE SEEN
IN NAVAL PARLEY
Gloom Covers Conference at
London as Holiday Recess
Ends.
BACKGROUND

For three ipeeks before Christ
mas recess, representatives OF fpe
po,oers met daily in Clarence House.
London, to find basis for rene,Ual OF
expiring Washington and London
naval limitation treaties. United
States delegation suggested 20 per
cent tonnage slash. The Japanese
insisted on parity to replace the old
5-5-3 ratio OF United States,
Britain and Japan. The French
presented a secret "conpronise
PROPOSAL. Nothing has been offered
on uhich the nations can agree.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 6.-The dele
gates to the International Naval Con-
ference returned to their tasks today,
facing a critical turn toward the Sc
curity of feet limitations or the dam
ger ,of a naval building race.
III an atmosphere Of undeniable
gloom, the representatives Of five pow
ers reconvened after the holidays with
authoritative opinions prevailing that
the discussions were entering their
most important phase.
All hopes for an agreement to re-
place the expiring Washington and
London naval limitations treaties were
expected to be determined in the next
three weeks.
Advance Notice Plan Offered.
The immediate business before the
delegates of the United States, Great
Britain. Japan, France and Italy was
the British compromise plan under
which it was understood each power
would announce in advance its naval
program for ensuing years, based on
defense needs.
Informed sources expected little
headway to be made with this plan,
however. unless the Japanese delega-
ton has received fresh instructions
from the Toxic government.
A spokesman for the japanese. as
serting their position was unchanged
in the face Of American and British
opposition to their demands for
equality, conceded a peSsimistic out
look for the conference.
If the delegates should find their
progress along these lines blocked the
conference would turn to American
and French proposals.
French Plan Distrusted.
The details OF the French plan
were not disclosed. but informed
sources were pessimistic over any pos
sibility that 1t would provide a key
to solution of the limitations problems.
The American proposals for progress
sive reduction in fleets on a ratio basis
was scheduled for discussion. but jap
anese opposition and other lack Of
enthusiasm caused informed sources
to forecast a lost cause for this plan.
If the delegates should discover an
acceptable formula now it was gen.
orally anticipated that they would re-
quire time until April to frame the
agreement.
If the immediate discussions are not
productive the sea powers are expected
to agree or disagree finally within a
month.

RELIEF ISSUE
ISPUzzLE TO
POLITICIANS
BY EARL GOODWIN

What effect will the AdminiStra.
tons relief policies have on the
national elections?
one of the oddities Of the sit
uation is the fact that the relief
army will not vote a hundred per
cent for the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. That, one poll
tician says, is equivalent to Bit
ing the hand that is feeding you.
But look what it is feeding you,
is the answer.
In other words, practical politi-
clans who must go out and drag
in the votes on both sides are puz.
zled by the fact that the relief
question is cutting UP didoeS in
local politics.
Farmers Dislike Relief
It is possible to stop a motor
car anywhere in Maryland and
ask a farmer what he thinks
about relief and have him use is
minutes telling how it is imposs1-
BILE to get a good farm hand now
because everybody is on relief
and will not work" Scouts from
other parts of the country bring
in the same report.
An Indian scout brings in the
story that in the HooSier State
they speak of veterans Of the
WPA";; an organization of men
who are doing small time work
for the Government-while it is
impossible for others, accounted
more worthy Of relief, to get any
work at all.
The general impression in small
towns throughout the country is
that local folks are in better
situation to run their relief than
the organized national WPA:
for that reason thousands Of
small town folks will be impressed
by the Republican platform decla-
ration promising to run relief by
State and local units-but take all
the money the Federal Govern
ment will give.
Relief Handled Locally
Works Progress officials declare
that any complaint is due entirely
to local conditions; that WPA
work relief is administered in &C.
cordance with the local needs as
seen through the eyes of local Of

Navigation classes
 Are we'll Attended

A night class ill navIgatlon, sponsored by tne srangeu PuDue school as an adult vocational tram Ing project, was organized recent ly to meet in the high school audi torium Monday nights, with Cap tain John Sellevold as instructor.
 Those attending classes fully req lize the privilege accorded them in | being able to secure instruction from a man so highly qualified as Captain Sellevold. At present he is in command of the Alaska Game Commissions new patrol boat, Brown Bear, which is tied up at Wrangell for the winter In recent years Captain Sellevold, who holds an un- limited masters license, has been i the service of the Alaska Steamship Company and as navigating officer of the steamer Victoria, came to know thoroughly the waters of the Alaskan coast.
 The course will cover eight weeks. The first nights instruction con sisted in Rules of the Road, or pilot rules governing inland waters.
 The second lesson, which was giv- ell last Monday night, centered about the compass. Captain Selle- void gave instruction on how to box the compass, it's use, deviation, yari- ation and other problems that come up in connection with this instru- ment. As the class progresses the other instruments used in ordinary navigation will be studied and their uses fully explained. The interest so far shown by the class has been very gratifying, and while the brief ness of the course precludes Lny It- tempt to enlarge on any of the more intricate phases of navigation, a good working knowledge of the rules of navigation can be obtained.
 There is no cost to members of the class in connection with the course which is open for attendance to all in the community who are interested i'll the subjects taught. Captain Sellevold. being in govern ment employ, cannot take territorial pay. Otherwise, he would receive compensation from the vocational department of the office of the Com missioner of Education. Expense of light and fuel is borne by the school.
 Members enrolled to date in the class include Harvey Armstrong, Carl Arola, Ed. Arola, F. s. Barnes, Chas M. Barton, B. M. Campbell, David Davis, Ralph Devenney, Olaf Hansen, Fred Herring, Urho Ken erva, Harold Martindale, George Mills, Harry Olson, Louis F. Paul, Russell F. Pederson, J. Roberts, A.

Owen SWenSOn Opens New Garage in Douglas

owen SWenson, who moved iron Wrangell last year to Juneau where he was engaged in garage work, is now operating the Douglas Motors in partnership with Lloyd Guerin, according to word received here by his father, w. S. Swenson.
 Young Swenson had started in the garage business in Douglas last fall when a real Taku blew the building over onto the beach early in November. He was sleeping up- stairs and. had a miraculous escape from death when the lower story buckled up and folded under. Thret cars were completely smashed. OnC he had just finished repairing, the other was in for storage and the third was an old wreck he had bought for parts He recovered most of his tools and equipment be. fore the tide came in so did not lose much personal property.
 The young men reconstructed the building and began operations agai recently. The business embraces general repair work with garage service and gas station.
 Swenson showed remarkable bent for mechanics when scarcely more than a child in Wrangell Guerin has spent practically all Cl his life in Douglas. Last fall ae competed an engineering caurse iH Seattle trades school.

Pres. Birthday Ball
 An Enjoyable Affair

A large crowd filled the A. N B. hall last night for the third annual Presidents Birthday Ball. Dancing began promptly at nine-thirty, and contrary to the usual custom, there were manw who came early to take advantage of the excellent music furnished by the orchestra.
 The hall was suitably decorated for the occasion, the decorations in- cluding a large picture of the Presi- dent over the stage, with flags on either side. The presence of officers and men from the Coast Guard Cut ter Cyane in port, contributed to the festivities and the railing of quilt offered a welcome Advertisement.
 Seventy-five tickets were sold be- . fore the ball, but it is estimated that over a hundred couples attended The success of the affair was due to the untiring efforts of Mayor F. s. Barnes and the committees which he appointed.
 While it is not possible at this time for the finance committee to give an accurate accounting, it is evident that approximately $75 will be cleared from the ball of which 70 per cent, or approximately $50, will stay in Wrangell to be used for the benefit of children through Bishop Rowe General Hospital in such ways as light treatments, cod liver oil, K ray examinations of bones and many others, designed to prevent and cor rect faulty or diseased bone condi- tions in children of the community who could not otherwise receive such needed care.
