be equipped: the percentage Of indus
try required to produce these supplies;
the cost Of the procurement program;
how the industrial load Is distributed
throughout the country, and when
and where supplies will become avail
able.
Potential Strength.
1.-THE resources Of our country alone
are merely an indication Of potential
strength. In an emergency they would
have to be used to meet all military
supply requirements and also take
care Of the needs Of the civilian popu-
lation. Although we are blessed with
plenty in most essentials. the how
would necessarily have to be changed
into different channels, and where
shortages occur proper distribution
and use Of materials and services
would have to be made. It Is often
said that our country's industrial
strength has no peer: that we can
produce all our requirements once We
set about to do 20. That Is no doubt
true. But what Of time-that precious
element which can spell victory or
defeat? A factory may be able to
produce war material, but before 1t
can do 70 changes must be made
in machinery and organization. The
workmen must be taught the new
methods and new technique. Raw
materials Of . different nature than
normally used must be found, pur-
chased and received. All this takes
valuable time and might delay pro-
duction for q considerable period
Similar conditions would confront
many of our industries so that actual
supply Of necessary equipment might
take from . few weeks to years, de-
pending upon the complexity of the
articles to be produced and degree of
change necessary to transform peace
time industry for national defense
purposes.
Airplane Procurement Policy.
zone Of these complex articles re-
quiring considerable period Of time to
produce Is the airplane. This consid-
Grafton prompted me to introduce .
new airplane procurement policy. now
practiced by the War Department,
which permits qualified manufacturers
to compete for the Government busi-
ness and at the same time protect the
interests Of the Government. 1t also
puts premium on performance, giving
manufacturers an incentive to develop
and produce the best and most mod
ern planes and thus keep the industry
developing in line with the latest
thought In aeronautical engineering.
This policy is working. Peace-time
production is being accomplished to the
maximum degree permitted by avail
able funds. We are securing the most
efncient military planes IN the world

Funeral services for Mr.. Dern

Stain Warns Red Army
That War Is Near

d EICHSFUEHRER HITLER has
IN injected a little more ginger
into the international armament
race by suddenly announcing that
the terms for compulsory military
service for Germans was doubled
two years instead of one. AS mat
ters are just now in Europe, this
appeared to be aimed directly
against Soviet Russia. and if the
London newspapers are to be be-
lieved, Dictator Stain recognizes
this and reacts as might be expect
ed. The London Evening News
and Daily Mail both assert that
Stain, in a secret radio address to
the red army, said:
Comrades of the red forces: We
are on the very eve of momentous
events. At any moment now you
may be called upon to lay down
your lives for the defense Of the
proletarian birthland.
"fhis is the moment you have
been anticipating, and now your
birthland is expecting you to do
the duty you have so eagerly await
ed.
L have no doubts about you, and
1 am convinced you have no doubts
about us, your leaders.
"Our enemies are getting into po-
sition. So be ready. The enemies
are on the frontiers of our great
land. Keep watch.
Everything money could buy,
everything the genius of man could
invent and everything the loving
labor of the workers could make
have been given into your hands for
the defense and glory of the Soviet
land"

Farmers July Income
Rest Since 1920


d ERHAPS the farmers OF Ameri-
L ca don't realize it, but during Ju-
ly they enjoyed the largest cash in
come they have had since 1929. Fig
ures given out by the Department OF
Agriculture show the sales of farm
products brought them $711, 600, 600
against $582, 900, 900 in June and only
$451, 100000 in July, 1885.
To their income from sales, the
farmers added $24,0OO,0 in various
forms of government benefits, bring
ing the total cash at their disposal
to $735, ,OOO, 900. The rental and 9TH
er benefits totaled $4,000 600 in
June and S19,OO0,OO0 in July, 1885.
1.-THE sharp increase in cash farm
income in July was mainly due to
the pronounced gain in income
from grains, chiefly wheat" the re-
port said. Receipts of wheat IN
the principal markets in July were
the fourth largest for the month on
record, despite the relatively small
supplies on farms this year.
Prices of meat animals IN July,
while averaging slightly lower than
in June, were nevertheless higher
than in July, 1885, so that income
from meat animals was consldera-
bly, higher than a year ago. Cash
income from dairy products IN
creased more than seasonally.'

American Bar Association
Against Court Limitation

D ESOLUTIONS adopted by the
IN American Bar association at its
meeting in Boston declare firmly
against any attempt to limit the
power of federal courts to pass on
the constitutionality of laws. The
association avoided what had been
expected to be a lively debate by
taking a noncommittal attitude on
the report of another committee
which denounced in great part the
alleged invasion of the rights of citi-
zens by the New Deal. This report,
to which there was a minority re-
port appended, was received and
filed by the assembly, but not ac-
cepted, and the committee which
filed it was discharged from further
duty.
Frederick H. Stinchfield of Mime
apolis was unanimously elected
president of the association for the
coming year.

Mussolini Takes Part in
European War Dance

1T WAS Benito Mussolinrs turn
to go into the European version
of the Indian war dance, following
Hitler and Stain, and he gave a
great performance At Avellino,
center of the Italian army maneu-
vers, II Duce announced to cheer
ing throng that he could mobilize
100000 soldiers in the course OF
a few hours and after a simple
order" The premier declared the
world is in the throes of an irreSisti-
BILE re-armament race and Italy
must reject the idea of eternal
peace, which he said is foreign to
our creed and to our temperament. "
He asserted that the armed forces
of Italy are more efficient than ever
as a consequence of the Ethiopian
war and that the 10000 men en-
gagged in the. maneuvers are but
modest and almost insignificant part
of the countrys actual war strength.
I'VE must be strong" cried Mus
solini. I'VE must be always strong
er! We must be so strong that we
can face any eventualities and look
directly in the eye whatever may
befall!"
Germany's new army of mil
lion men, created by Hitler'S order
doubling the term of compulso-
ry military training, is to be fl
nanced by increased taxes on all
companies and corporations by 25
per cent for 1886 and by so per
cent for 1887. This increase brings
the corporations tax up to mini
mum of Is and 80 per cent on new
profits.
A government communique care
fully explained that corporations
which have enjoyed heavy earnings
due to government orders frequent
ly pay ''only tax of 20 per cent on
reserves they accumulate while pri-
vate business men pay up to so per
cent"

munistic propaganda. In these re-
spects at least Mr.. Bullitt has been
a disappointment. But he retains
the confidence of President Roose-
velt and will not be out of place as

government.

secretly sounding out the major Eu-

American Destroyer Periled
by Spanish Bombs

g TX bombs dropped from an un-
~ identified Spanish airplane fell
perilously near the American de-
Stroyer Kane, which was en- route
from Gibraltar to Bilbao to help
in the removal of Americans from
the war zone. The Kane fired sew
eral rounds from an anti-aircraft
gun at the plane. Naturally our
government was reused to protest.
Secretary Of State Hull instructed
his agents abroad to request both
the Spanish government and Gen.
Francisco Franco, leader of the reb-
el forces, to Issue instructions in
the strongest terms" to prevent an
other incident of this character"
The rebel forces in the north were
making powerful air attack on
Irun, scattering many bombs on
that border city, and an assault by
land and sea forces was expected
at any moment. The government
troops there had refused to sur
render and their officers said right
ist prisoners, including some prom
inent men, would be exposed in
the most open places during the
bombardment.
The Madrid government admitted
its troops had sustained an i'm
portant reverse" in a battle at Oro-
pesa, 100 miles southwest of the
capital and were driven back to
Talavera. Later a loyalist victory
at that place was claimed, though
London heard the rebels had scored

Popular Juneau Architect Is to Wed Miss Ruth
 Hoeslich Tn Seattle

Erling H. Bugge, associate of H. B. Foss in the Foss Construction Company, sailed on the Princess Norah for Seattle, where he will wed Miss Ruth Hoeslich, daughter of a prominent Seattle jeweler.
 The young couple will honeymoon in Vancouver, B. O., and return to Juneau on the next trip of the Prin- cess Norah. They will reside in the MacKinnon Apartments.
 The marriage is the elimination of a college romance that began when both were students at the Uni versity of Washington, where MT. Bugge was a member of the Tau Sigma Delta fraternity.
 MT. Bugge, who came to Juneau last summer, was winner, while in college, of a medal given by the American Institute of Architects for au-around excellence in design.
