WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. = Con- gress will meet Monday to tackle the unfinished farm loan legislation. The special session is already overcast by concern about the busi- ness outlook but legislators are all ready pledged to make crop control the first business.

 Chairman O'Connor, of the House Rules Committee has suggested that Congress try to stimulate business by immediate tax revision.
 Speaker Bankhead however, said the problem is too big for nasty ac- ton.

 President Roosevelt will send a message to Congress next Monday noon. Presumably the message will set forth his views on legislation to be asked including crop control, wages and hours, governmental re- organization and regional planning.

NEW MAGAZINE
 PUBLISHED BY
 ALBERT TAYLOR
Alaska Is 24-Page Peri odical to Be Published
 Monthly in Juneau

A progressive step in the Alaskan journalistic field has been taken by Albert Taylor whose magazine, Alaska is now off the press, to- taling "A pages of articles on the Territory with accompanying illus trations.
 The magazine, which has been en- dorsed by various leading Alaskans' includes a variety of articles, among which are "Alaskans-Are We?" by Forest J. Hunt, former president of the Territorial senate; "Reminis- cences of a Sourdough," the first of series by Alexander Cameron; "Sitka the Beautiful by the editor, including six scenic views of the picturesque city; ITO Him Who Hath" an article on mining laws by T. Douglas Hagan; and a num- Der of short, informative features.
 Alaska" will be published month ly, with headquarters at Juneau.
 Emphasized in the editorial sec ton is the editors article, "Airmail for Alaska" in which he stresses the advantages of the coastal route. The expected high price per letter, es- timated at 30 cents for one ounce, is criticized.
 Tn explaining the purpose of the magazine, Taylor writes, This mag azine proposes to become a vehicle for an exchange of ideas on all AL askan problems, a forum where all can have their say, pro or con, so that the best solutions can be reached, and where the knowledge of some can save others the neces- sity the time, and the misery of learning from experience.
 T want stories and articles about Alaska and the men and women who have made Alaska what 1t is, and who are now building its fu- ture. I want articles and stories about prospecting, mining, forestry, fishing, farming, fur raising and trapping. and any and all other stories of life in Alaska and about places and things in Alaska"

ALL THOSE OF
 GERMAN BLOOD
 MUST BE NAzIS
No Matter Where They Are They Must Preach and
 Practice That Creed
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov 13.- From Germany comes word that that all who happen to be of German blood wherever they may be must preach and practice Nazi idealogy and ac- cept Nazi folk biology and race policy and all that it may imply.
 Moreover, says Colonel General Hermann Goering, foreign nations and foreign statesmen must rec ognize that in the future fruitful relationships between German and other world peoples can take place only on the basis of the organized activity of foreign Germans as na- tural agents of German culture and commerce"
 It so happens that there are a very great number of people of German blood in the United States. Herr Goering did not mention American Germans cut his phrase ology appeared to include all per- sons of German stock.
 Germans abroad said Goering, can be divided roughly into two classes, the conciouS Germans and the un- conscious Germans. The conscious Germans are those deeply aware of their German origin. These, he said, must feel with the National Social ist theology and eventually accept it wholeheartedly."

 Arrogant Attitude
 Delegates of other nations made no comment, plainly observing that the attitude of the Italian represen- tative was entirely arrogant and he was left to personally applaud his own action, if any approval was forthcoming.
 Notwithstanding the spoken atti- tude of Italy, the United States, Great Britain and France delega- tions prepared for declaration Istressing the illegaIity of Japan's military action, asserting that the strife in the Orient amounted to defence of the entire world

 Previously the peace conference delegations heard Norman A. Davis head of the American delegation, in quiet but forceful terms, declare there are compelling reasons" why Japan should cooperate in a search for peace.
 The members of the Italian dele gation moved uneasily in their seats as the calm but expressive eyes of Davis and gaze of others fell upon Mussolini's representatives.
 The Japanese note, the second turn down of an invitation to at- tend the peace conference. was read without comment.
