 Chamberlain, striving to make his voice heard above the cries of Laborites who demanded vote censure of his policy of making friends with Europe's dictators, cried:
 Opposes Sanctions
 We must not try to delude our selves still more; we must not try to delude the small weak nations that they will be protected by the League against aggression We know nothing of the kind can be ex- pected of the League because it is unable to provide collective secur- lIy lOI dllyUOQy. l WOulQ oIdJ III the League because I have faith that it will be reconstructed, but doubt very much if the League ever can do it's best work as long as it's members are nominally bound to impose sanctions or impose force to support it's principles"
 Claims Hitler Deal
 Arthur Greenwood, Vice-Chair- man of the Labor Party, moving the vote of censure, declared that with Anthony Eden out of the way the fate of the world rests in the trembling hands of the Prime Min ister." He declared that Chamber lain's policy would lead to war and said the Premier had "sneaked around the pirates lair to try and drive a bargain"
 Chamberlain refused to answer the question, If Hitler had named Eden's successor as Foreign Min ister yet?''

WATER ROUTE LIKELY TRAIL
 SAYS ERICSSON
PA General Manager Is Back from Air Confer
 ence Tn Vancouver

Possibilities are strong that Pa cific Alaska Airways will be flying 16-passenger S-43 Sikorsky amphi- bians between Juneau and Seattle before the end of the year.
 That is the belief of Joe Crosson General Manager of the Pacific AL aska Airways, who returned this morning aboard the Alaska after attending the Northwest Air Con- ference at Vancouver and confer ring with officials of his company in Seattle.
 "The application for the mai contract over the route has beer applied for and all we can do is wait" said Crosson today. "Actior has been promised soon and we should know before summer" Crosson said that in the even. tuality of the plan going through it would be some time before regu- lar service was begun, as Bureau of Air Commerce officials require certain amount of trial flying before a passenger license is given
 Planes would land on wheels al the PA Mendenhall Airport prob. ably, Crosson said. Intermediate landings enroute would be made on the water.
 There's more interest in Alaska and flying now than there evel was before" Crosson stated. "Wt stand a good chance of seeing thii thing through"

DIMOND THINKS
 TOLL TO HOLD
 ON RICHARDSON
Delegate Quoted as Saying He Believes Govern
 ment Not Fair

WASHINGTON, Feb % = Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond has disclosed that renewed attempts to remove the $9 ton highway toll for freight trucks on the Richard son Highway between Fairbanks and Valdez have been unsuccessful.
 The whole thing is in the hands of Secretary of Interior Ickes, said Dimond. He is not sympathetic so far as I can learn. This toll on the Richardson Highway, as nearly as can determine, is the only toll ever placed on United States or Ter ritorial roads constructed by the Government
 Dimond added that he believed the reason for the assessment lay in the desire of the Government to divert as much freight as possible to the Alaska Railroad.
 Delegate Dimond was quoted as saying he believed that the Govern ment was treating Alaskans un- fairly.

AIdska Indian Affairs Budget Giuen Hearing Before House
 Subcommittee; DimOnd Aids 1t
By j. ]. PICKLES Secretary to Delegate Dimond

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14-(Spec- ial Correspondencel - For several days past a subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations has considered the budget estimates for the Office of Indian Affairs con- tained in the Department of the Interior Appropriation bill. Par ticular attention has been given to those items pertaining to the construction of native schools and hospitals in Alaska and also to the estimate of $1,000000 contained in the bill for carrying out the pur- poses of the Reindeer Act which was passed in August of 1887 and which ccntemplates the purchase by the Government of all non-native owned reindeer and the ultimate distribution of such reindeer among all of the natives of Alaska who can use them advantageously
 School Estimates
 At the present time the bill car ries money for the construction of one native hospital at Kanakanak and also contains an estimate Of S90,000 for the construction of new school buildings at English Bay, Quiguk, Shaktoolik, Mecoyruk on Nunivak Island, and Solomon. These buildings are in addition to new buildings which were authorized and for which appropriations were made in the fiscal 1888 appropriation act. A total of $119,000 was carried in that act for new buildings at Minto, Colville, Teller, Hooper Bay, Gam bel, Pilot Point and Umnak. It is possible that there will be some changes made in the list of build ings just given and that the pro- posed school for Colville will be omitted and a school built at some other place.
 Many new native schools are needed in various parts of Alaska and it is estimated that the school building program which ought to be undertaken at the earliest possible moment would probably total at least $60O,0O0.
 Hospital rogram
 The hospital program contem- plates native hospitals at a num- Der of places in Alaska, particular ly for the accommodation of the natives who are afflicted with tuber- culosis, thus not only giving them chance to recover, but removing them from association with others with a consequent lesSening of the danger of spread of the infection tc members of their families and friends.

Several of the members of the
 Committee evidently doubted the
 wisdom of the Reindeer Act and suggested that the item of $l000,000 carried for the reindeer be very much reduced or entirely omitted from the Act and that increased amounts be given instead for the construction of native hospitals and schools.
 Dim0nd Gives Support
 Delegate Dimond attended the hearings of the subcommittee and testified in support of all of the ap- propria tions. One of the committee
 members asked him what he would do if he were given $1,000,000 for the benefit of the natives of Alaska
 and he promptly replied that he
 would spend the first million for
 hospitals and schools and that the bill should carry sufficient funds
 to permit the immediate construc- ton of number of hospitals in-
 stead of the single one which is now provided for in the bill Mir Dimond further urged that the entire amount of S1,O00,Oo0 set up for the
 reindeer program be appropriated and that what really should be done was to make An appropriation of $2,000000 to remain available until
 expended There is no means of
 knowing what action the Commit tee will take with relation of the
 matter.
 It is highly important that all possible arguments be brought to
 bear before the Committee, because once an appropriation bill is re-
 ported and comes up for consid- eration in the House, it IS difficult indeed to secure an increase in any
 of the amounts recommended by the Committee.
