 Soviet officials from the boat boarded the Victoria, it was said, looked over their papers and permits to land passengers; were very courteous and business like and gave their approval. Pass engers were taken ashore there by skin boats it was said, and enjoyed their visit to Soviet ter ritory immensely.

Chinese Force Landing Parties
 Return to Ship
(By The Associated PreSs)

(By The Associated Press)
 SHANGHAI, Aug. 25, - Ex- plosions of hidden Chinese min es and the whitening fire of se- cret machine gun nests which riddled Japanese regular army landing parties, prevented, for the time being, the debarkation of 42,0OO troops.
 Suffering heavy losses, the Jap anese advance forces were slow ed or possibly haltr altogether. and there will be no further troop landings until a more fav- orable moment arrives.
 An official Chinese announce ment said that five hundred Jap anese out of fifteen hundred who tried to land at one point, were drowned in the Whangpoo river and the remainder were driven back to their ships.
 The announcement also stated two Japanese warships founder. ed in the Yangtze.

CANADA AND UNITED STATES WILL MEET IN OCTOBER TO
 DISCUSS ALASKAN AIRMAIL
Two opposing aerial routes connecting Alaska with the outside world cause difference opinion.
 Of Importance to Postal Dept.
(By The Associated Press,

(By The Associated Press,
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25, Canada and the United States, each eager to control Alaska's profitable air lines, will settle their problem next October ar ound the conference table.
 The prize is rich one postal officials say, involving the right to fly large shipments of gold, platinum and furs from the in-' terior and other parts of Alaska, to the outside world.
 Federal officials here quietly made plans to inaugurate week ly schedule from Juneau to Fair banks via Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, subsidizing private lin- es with airmail contracts, and planned shorter schedules from Fairbanks to outyling and isolat- ed regions.
 Harlee Branch assistant Post master General said they were all set to go, when they discover ed Canada was preparing to in- augurate an airmail service be- tween Edmonton and Fairbanks vi Whitehorse and Dawson.
 Because each country must se- cure the others permission to fly over the others land, both projects are at standstill.
 Branch said other matters are to come up in October, which will be a good time to discuss the Alaska situation.
 Was in Nome 1884
 Assistant Postmaster General Harlee Branch visited Nome the fall of 1884, just before the huge fire which destroyed the business district here. In company with Pilot Joe Crosson and New York official 6f the Pan American Airways, he flew to Uelen, Siber- ia, where they remained over- night, returning the next day.
 It was believed at that time that his visit to this section and, the short hop across Boring Sea to East Cape, Siberia, was the forerunner of active airmail service in Alaska.
 Since that time continued eff orts have been made in various quarters to secure the establish ment of air mail in the Territory and between Alaskan and the States. Today it appears more likely than ever before.

Secty. lckes Is
 Out After Big
 Business Again
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l, -Se- cretary of the Interior Harold l.. lckes continuing the administra- tion's attack upon ''big business" asserted Thursday night in na- tion-wide broadcast, that the pow CT of concentrated wealth must be compelled to conform to our laws, at the coming session of congress.
 "The irreconcilable conflict be- tween the power of money and the power of democratic instinct has reached such intensity in re- cent months that it is clear 1t must be fought through to fin- ,sh-until plutocracy or democra cy, or until Americans of sixty families or Americans of one hun dred and twenty million people win"
 His speech was the third as- sault upon "big business" to come from within inner admin stration circles within a week. two such addresses were deliv- cred previously by Robert H. Jackson, assistant attorney gen eral
 The sixty families refersnd to are those listed in a book by Ferdinand Lundberg.
 Lckes accused concentrated ec- -onomic power of going on strike against the administration, and of threatening to do no bus mess unless the government re- straints upon business are re- moved.

Ordered Clamp Down Tipsy New Years Drivers
Chinese Squads Move Out City
 Work Is Done
(By The Associated PrcSs)

SHANGHAI, Dec. 3l, Chin. \. ese devastation squads marched out of Tsingtao, leaving undefend ed, the once rich, north China seaport, marked for conquest by the advancing Japanese armies.
 Corps of foreign vigilantes arm ed with clubs attempted to main tain order, while the exodus of Americans and other foreigners continued.
 Looters ran into the Japanese business section and ransacked what Japanese properties had not been destroyed in nearly two weeks of systematic dynamiting.
 The chief aim of foreign vigi- lantes was to prevent damage to foreign property.
 Departing Chinese units stated dozens of new fires had been started, especially in Japanese silk factory, and the Japanese Tobacco company building which are among the structures in fam es.
 Word reached Shanghai today that Chinese legions, a hundred miles to the westward are fight ing desperately to stem the Jap aneSe advance long enough for destruction of Japanese Tsingtao properties to be completed.
 A heavy engagement was re- ported in progress near Wiehsien an important railway point.

Confidence
(By The Associated Press)


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. (P1 administration advisers said President Roosevelt will make an aggressive bid for public conf dence in his January message when the regular session of con- gress opens.
 The appeal will be based on the contention that the business recession is largely psychological. At his press conference he assert ed the psychology of fear is be- ing fostered by a large percent age of newspapers and a small minority of public utilities.
 The accusation followed a sec ret conference with seven of his most loyal supporters in the sen ate liberal ranks which he re- ported had pledged themselves to no slackening in new deal activ- ities.
 The favored conferees were Senators Norris, LaFollette, Sch wellenbach, Minton, Pepper and Green.

OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
 Delegate from Alaska
J. J. EckleS. Secretary to the Delegate
December II, 1887.

DeC6l1lDer II, lSof.
 Delay in the commencement Of air mail service between Jun eau and Fairbanks by way of Whitehorse in Canada, is ex- pected because of the necessity for amending the Post Office Departments advertisement for bids on this new route.
 The original proposal inviting bids for this service called for opening of bids on December IS. The amended proposal sets this date back to February 1. 1888. If as is often the case, several days pass while the bids are being an- alyzed before award of contract is made, it is probable that this
 long-sought Juneau-Fairbanks air mail service will not be in augurated until the second week in February, instead of early in January as had been expected.
 Need for the amendment was brought about when officials of the bureau of Air Commerce pointed out that the section of the advertisement specifying the general type of ying equipment required could not be met by ev- Ien the most modern aircraft un- der winter flying conditions with the present landing fields that are available on this route. To insure the utmost possible re- liability for this service the De- partment stipulated in it's invi- tation for bids that the flying eq- uipment used most, among other things, be 'mmlti-motored and capable of carrying a minimum number of 10 passengers with fuel sufficient for a 350-mile flight at normal cruising and with re- serve fuel supply as required by Bureau of Air Commerce regula- tions."
 It seems that these require ments could be met except on the winter schedules when the flight loss from equipping the planes with skis and carrying axes, snowshoes, parlcas, blank cts and emergency rations for at least 10 passengers, in addition (Continued on Page Two)

Give An Eye To Know Popular
 ity Of E. D. R.
(By Preston Grover)


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. tP) Anyone who can tell just how popular President Roosevelt will be next year will confer a boon on members of congress by lett ing them know.
 Many are coming up next year for re-election-au the house and third of the senate. If the President is slipping in popular ity they can be independent as all get-out, and it will be good politics. But if the President in 1888 still cuts his old time wide swath with the voters, it won't do congressman any good to be against" Roosevelt.

British Debt Settlement

The news that Great Britain is prepar- ing to renew payments on her war debt seems too good to be true. Yet it is what a reasonable nation or reasonable gov ernment would do, in the present state of the world. Britain is struggling to hold her vast, rich empire together, while armed neighbors are plotting to tear 1t apart for their own benefit, So Britain, perhaps more than at any time since Ma poleon, needs friends. France is almost a broken reed. Japan, her former ally, is leagued with Germany and Italy. America, potentially the most powerful nation on earth, and closest in blood, language and institutions may be of more service to Britain than ever before. That debt stands in the way.
 If London reports are authentic, the British government is prepared to settle on terms that would virtually waive all interest, past and future, and pay about 50,O00,060 year for 50 years. It would be considerably better than nothing And other debtors might come across on the same terms. All the British people can expect Is our good will and our appre- ciatior of the fact that the United States and the British Empire'have great mutual interests,

tress of some prominence, acting as a boomerang. The show has ordinarily been marked by an absence of anything that might be called ''cheap" or smut ty", but its last presentation, coming as 1t did on the same day that millions of people were renewing Legion of Decency pledges, was, in this writer's estimation, an affront to decent people. Maybe we're wrong, but we got the impression tha$ even one participant in the show didn't seem to show over-enthuSiasm for the part or lines.
 If the radio is supposed to be subject ed to close censorship so that offensive remarks, particularly those with hidG>n or double meanings, then 1t is going to find itself coming under Legion of De- cency fire, with the attending commercial kick-backs, unless. 1t takes warning from what can be done on the screen and stage when millions of people are joined in pro- test.
