VATICAN D|SAVOWS
.ANT|-NAz| SPEECH.
Broadcast Declared Made
Without knowledge of
Secretary of State.
D. the Associated Press.

~ tllr hS5oCldlSu fJFSS.
VATICAN CITY, April "A
Vatican news service statement, latest
of a series of events in the Catholic
Churchs relations with Germany,
said today that last nights Vatican
radio broadcast on the Austrian situa-
ton was made without the knowledge
of the (PapaD Secretary of State"
The German language broadcast,
which referred to pastors who short
9ghtedly join the victorious of the
day and who no longer recognize
the wolf in sleeps clothing" was "of
a private character" the news service
said.
z 1t said there was no connection be-
treen the talk and an editorial which
appeared yesterday in the Vatican
newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano,
4ying the Vatican had no knowledge
q the Catholic bishops declaration
Mad in Austrian churches March 27.
s"The coincidence between the talk
4nd the note in L'OSservatore
Romano, which established that the
Toly See had nothing to do with the
declaration of the Austrian bishops,
was purely fortuitous," the statement
asserted,
I'm fact, German language trans
rtlsslon is made regularly every Friday
af 8 pm, and that is the reason why
it conceded with L'Osservatore
Romanos note"
(The Austrian bishops declaration,
Signed by Theodore Cardinal Innitzer
aand five other prelates, said it was
their duty ito declare our loyalty as
Germans to the German Reich" in
tfe April 10 plebiscite on union with
Germany. Cardinal Innitzer re-
affirmed the bishops position FRIDAY

 Above the dam the Columbia river will form an artificial lake 151 miles long, averaging more than mile in width From storage res ervoirs, powerful pumps will divert excess water to the farms of aH arid area larger than the state of Delaware.
 Bureau of Reclamation engineers estimate that there will be de- mand for all of Coulees power with in 10 years after the project is com- pleted. Power from the dam can be sold profitably for less than a quarter of a cent per kilowatt hour. In Seattle householders now pay a basic rate of five cents per kilowat5 hour.
 To those who claim the dam will prove a white elephant, government engineers say that the entire cost of the project can be liquidated in 50 years, with per cent interest, if the quarter-cent rate is obtained.
 And, following the Governments s victory in the IVA case, it appears that legal restrictions will not inn pede fullest operation of the dam and its power-developing turbines

COULEE DAM, Wash, Feb. IT, Out Of the barren desert of Central Washington, the greatest engineer ing protect ever undertaken by man is rushing toward completion.
 Grand Coulee dam, which already exceeds in size the worlds second largest structure-Boulder Dam - is beginning to harness the mighty power of Americas second great est river, the Columbia.
 Work on the monstrous tumble of masonry, pipes and stone pro ceeds at a bewildering pace, 24 hours per day seven days week. Diesel powered engines haul gigantic buckets of concrete; gargantuan shovels gouge away the sides of the canyon. Chugging tugboats ply the surface of the river above and below the dam.
 When completed, in l942, the dam will stand $50 feet above bed rock. 4,300 feet long, 800 feet thick at the base and 30 on top It will contain enough concrete to build standard highway from New York to Los Angeles and back.
 In the center, a waterfall more than twice as high as Niagara, will hurtle over the spillway. At flood stage, a million cubic feet af water will pass over the dam each sec ond.
 Flanking the dam will be two powerhouses, each containing nine huge generators. These will produce electric energy almost twice the

The Stewart Chamber is asking support of Ju- neau in a fight for a coastal route, reporting that a movement is now underway in Canada to get back ing for a road from Edmonton to Fairbanks through the interior of Canada rather than along the route which already is established as far as Hazelton. The matter will be gone into at greater length by the Executive committee at it's meet ing next week.
 The Alaska movies presented by Barnes gave interesting glimpses of scenes in the Juneau as well as other parts of Alaska.

PACKING INDUSTRY
NEARING UPTURN
Adverse Drought Influences Ap.
pear Liquidated-Stock
Population Larger.

NEW YORK, Feb 10 (SpeciaD -
The meat packing industry at last
shows signs of entering the initial
phase OF a long-range up trend in
sales volume and profits, according
to a new study appearing in Poor's
Industry and Investment Surveys.
Adverse drought influences now ap-
pear to be liquidated, and livestock
population should increase substan-
TALLY over the next two or three
years. However, actual Improvement
in earning power will be hardly per-
ceptiole until the 1888 autumn months
when the new meat supplies come
into the market.
Although first quarter deficit is
by no means abnormal for the in
dustry, the recent inventory declines
have accentuated the situation to an
unusual degree" continues the sur
vey. THE sharp down trend in meat
prices, which brought grief to most
companies as the 1887 year drew to
a close, continued well into Decem-
Der. thereby forcing additional in
ventory shrinkages
Now that the price structure for
meats gives indication of irming not
far below present levels there is rea-
son to believe that the meat packing
industry has at last liquidated the
adverse effects of the 1884 and 1886
droughts and is entering the prelimi-
nary stages OF recovery movement.
Nevertheless, any tangible result Of the
reversal in trend is unlikely to be
reflected before 1899. Manifestly many
months must elapse before depleted
livestock supplies are restored to nor
NAL proportions"
