PUBLIC OPINION HAS TEETH

The nations of the world do not hest
tate to condemn the ruthlessness of Jap
anese aggression in China, involving the
Intentional killing of thousands of nom
combatant men, women. and children.
Just what the condemnation is worth
there is no way of saying. Public opinion
IS mighty force in the world but it can
not protect innocent people from aerial
bombs dropped from the SKY. At the
same time, it may lead to something like a
boycott against japanese goods through
out the world. This win hurt Japan. In
fact, one Of the grievances that the Jap
anese have against the Chinese is such an
organized boycott

Cross Tells About Air, And Radio
 Meetings

Pilot John Cross of the North ern Cross Inc, arrived Nome this morning from Deering and Kotz- ebue with Father Jeunehomme who is visiting many sections of Alaska. He comes from France. Pilot Cross, Second Division mem Der of the Aeronautics and Com- -munications Commission return ed to Deering Tuesday from Fair banks and then flew to Kotzebue, and Nome today.
 Mir. Cross attended the recent meetings of the Commission in Juneau, and had some interesting foreclosures to make concerning the work done there.
 All members from other sections of Alaska attended as well as fed eral officials who visited Nome Monday, with the exception of Pilot M. D. Kirkpatrick of Cor dova.
 No definite action was taken at the meeting 10 immediately place into effect the new law as passed by the legislature last winter said Mr. Cross.
 The meetings were largely con- cerned With coordinating inform at.On, facts and figures of various agencies throughout the Territory and gaining general perspective of the type of regulations and es- tablishmant of stations through out Alaska to assist in the regu- lation of aviation ard conjunctive communication facilities.
 The fact that the United States Bureau of Air Commerc has well defined program pending, which, it is said. is only awaiting the appropriation of sufficient funds, to place into effect, caused the Territorial Commission to do nothing more than establish an office at Juneau with an assistant secretary in charge to handle the anticipated inflow of information and reports which are to be gath cred for a subsequent meeting.
 MT. Cross in telling of some of the things taken up at the meet ing, such as the establishment some time in the future of organ ized radio comm unication chan nels, mentioned the tentative pro ject of an orange and green net work dividing Alaska geograph- ically, with radio ground stations for the purpose of cont acting air. planes in flight. In this respect different sections of the territory would use separate frequency channels for communication, ther eby avoiding parallel and conflict ing ines, However, this was only a proposed innovation and merely a recommendation, awaiting the expected inauguration of the pro- gram prepared by the Bureau of Air Commerce, which it was be- lieved outlined a similar idea.
