DIMOND GIVES HOUSING TALK
 AT FAIRBANKS
Praises Character, Ability of Members of New
 Int. Highway Com.
WANTS REVISION OF LAWS, ALASKA WEALTH
Interior Fire Patrol Is Ad- vocated- Better Airport
 Facilities Are Needed

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. 18.- Addressing the members and spe- cial guests of the Fairbanks Cham Der of Commerce, Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond lauded the character and ability of the mem bers of the newly appointed Alaska International Highway Commis- sion. He said he would lend his full est cooperation in spurring work on the proposed highway and promised to urge particularly early work on the Alaska end which will link the highway system with this vicinity and Dawson.
 The Delegate said all of the Ter ritory is now in higher upward economic spiral which will be great ly accelerated by the highway.
 Declaring that the income taxes paid in various states by large AL askan mining, fishing and other companies, having home offices iI1 those states aggregates millions an- nually, far more than the annual Federal grants to the Territory Delegate Dimond demanded expert revision so Alaska may obtain a greater share of the wealth she pro duces for Outside interests.
 Delegate Dimond also proposed establishment of an interior fire patrol. He said recently he saw no fewer than 26 forest fires in vir- gin timber which is depicting game animals and other wild life.
 Delegate Dimond advocated more and better airport facilities to take care of the Oriental and Occiden- tai 'round-the-w world air lines which he predicted will be a reality within five years.
 The Delegate expressed hope that the new wages and hours bill, ef- fective in October, will not be "too embarrassing to highly seasonal placer and other mining operations in remote districts"
 The Delegate hailed the coming of the Seattle Fairbanks air mail and transport service as one of the greatest boons to the Northland.

Ex-Congressman Igoe Says Demo
 Vote Is Strong
Prominent Illinois Man l; in Juneau Enthused
 Over Alaska

James T. Igoe, former Congress man from Illinois Q927-33, Demo- crat) arrived in Juneau yesterday with Mrs Igoe on short Alaska tour, bringing two opinions: "Presi- dent Roosevelt and the Democratic Party are as strong as ever" and Alaska has the most wonderful tourist possibilities in the world
 MT. Igoe,a prominent Democrat for a number of years, said: "The middle United States will be strong Democratic in the November elec- tions.
 President Roosevelt is still very popular through the Middle West except in small rural centerS where there are no Democratic newspapers and where the Republicans have strong hold on small blocks of votes. Iowa is an example"
 Can Win Illinois
 In Chicago, Igoe said: We think we can win the Illinois election and put Scott Lucas in as Senator. We beat the Nash-Kelly combina- ton handily, you know, and with Gov. Horner backing Lucas, we ought to slide in easily"
 With regards to the victory of Congressman D. Worth Clark, a Roosevelt mo yes-man" campaign CT, over Senator James Pope in the Democratic primaries in Idaho, for mer Congressman Igoe discounted assertions that this election result showed Rooseveltian weakness.
 Idaho is too remote from Wash ington and from industrial centers, 7" he said. They don't have the vast groups of poor and unemployed that the East knows and their re- action to the Administration is al- most an opposite.'
 Money for Exhibit
 And as for Alaska, MT. Igoe can not understand why the Territory is not putting up monies for ex- hibits at the Golden Gate Exposi- tion. Igoe is chairman of board of fifteen members from Chicago, appointed to plan the $200,000 fair expenditures from Illinois.
 Last week MT. Igoe was in San Francisco where PWA workers are constructing miniature Chicago, built to scale, with lakes, parks and buildings at a cost of $110,0O0 to be completed December l.
 Alaska has the most wonderful tourist possibilities in the world, '" Igoe said. i've travelled over good part of the world, and Switzerland alone can compare with it. Advertise
 Spend a little money, advertise Alaska, and make it possible through volume passenger traffic for the thousands of Fasteners who would enjoy the trip, to see Alaska in

HU. s. Could Collect 1t Could Make MoneyH RussiaCoes
 to War ,uith Japan
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. l8.-If the United States were money-grao- ping nation (which of course it is not it could make big cleaning out of a prolonged Russo-Japanese war
 Nothing could stop us. We could send goods across the Atlantic to Russia, including railroad cars to carry fighting stuff to the Oriental war zone. We could ship to Japan across the Pacific. Japan would not dare send it's fleet to the Atlantic and Russia's fleet could not seri- ously interfere with U. S.-Japa- nese trade in the Pacific
 The principal trouble would be that neither side has enough money to pay for the goods for prolonged war Of course this country could lend money to both belligerents- and try to collect it afterward. But that's something else.
 Authoritative observers here don't look for that sort of outcome. Neither side wants a major con- flict-just now.
 One source with access to inside channels said the Anglo-French agreement, tending to keep Hitler out of Czechoslovakia in view of Frances pledge of aid ta that little Central European republic, had re- lieved Russia of major worry about it's European end. leaving It free to tend to it's Asiatic end.
 Freed of this care, so this view goes, Russia took the aggressive in Manchoukuo formerly Manchu- ria), occupying the important Changkufeng hill, the ownership of which had been in dispute sey- eral years It is an important little spot. strategically Inland it over looks the rail connection from in- terior Manchoukuo to a port newly built by Japan. On the sea side. the hill also overlooks PoSsiet bay, which Russia has been building up to supplement Vladivostok

Says nited States Will Never See Dominion In-

MONROE DOCTRINE
 GIVEN EXTENSION
Friendship of Two Nations Extolled by Two High
 Officials Today

KINGSTON, Ontario, Aug. 18.- American President Franklin D. Roosevelt said citizens of the Unit ed States will not stand idly by" if Canada is ever threatened with for eign aggression.
 The American President made the frank foreign policy statement in an address at the Stadium of the Queens University. Beside him stood Prime Minister Mackenzie King of Canada.
 Bond of Friendship
 In his remarks, the American President repeatedly emphasized the strong bond of friendship that exists between Canada and the United States.
 President Roosevelt was warmly applauded during and at the con- clusion of his address.
 American and Canadian flags waved overhead in the gentle breeze during the address.
 Several Points
 The American President made several points in his address by def initely and convincingly stating: We are good neighbors and true friends, because we refuse to ac- cept the twists of secret diplomacy and settle out disputes by consulta- tion. We discuss our common prob- lems in spirit of common good"
 King Makes Reply
 Following serving notice on the world that the people of the United States will not stand idly by If do- imitation of Canadian soil is threat ened by any other Empire" than the British, made by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister King re- piled:
 T think we speak the minds of both countries when we say we are determined to preserve neighborly relations in the free ways of life which are the common heritage of mankind"
 Gives Warning ' A few hours later at the dedtca. tion of the new International Bridge across the St. Lawrence River, link ing Ivy Lea, Ontario, and Collins Landing, N Y, President Roosevelt warned that unless the United States and Canada join in Congress sional action a group of Ameri- can interests" might gain mono- poly in developing the St. Lawrence resources.
 INTERPRETATION IS MADE
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-State Department officials interpreted President Roosevelt's address at Kingston as extension of the Mon- roe Doctrine to Canada.
 Hitherto the famous doctrine has been interpreted as applying solely to Latin-American Republics in a determination to oppose aggression of any outside power on the western hemisphere.
 When the Monroe Doctrine was first enunciated, Canada was merely a colony of Great Britain but is now an independent Dominion.
