which involves the constitutional
right Of prisoners to be released on

The Districts six-hour writ
which requires q formal charge to

six hours was sharply attacked by
the police head as "the root of all
evil In the situation" He declared: !:
AS soon Is we have placed q charge

It Is impossible for us under the

Of q law that would enable the DO

Robertson, Todd, Penny Are Speakers at Gen.
 eral Meeting

Its success indicated by the re- sponse of an attentive audience, the first Cause and Cure of War forum, sponsored by the Juneau Wo- mans Club and the Business and Professional Womcn's Club. Was held yesterday afternoon in Elks Hall.
 Held in order to spread inf0rma- tion and to stimulate thought of world conditions, the Forum is 2 part of the International program of peace conferences which aim to work toward a future understand ing great enough to cope with threats of war.
 First speaker to be presented on the program was R E. Robertson, representing the Chamber of Com merce. MT. Robertson's topic was the "Economic Side of War" but rather than limit his discussion to the economic cost of conquests, he took the broader point of view of the consequences of war in rela- ton to economic development Re- viewing war from the beginning of historical record through the World War, he pointed out the effects each struggle have left. In the long run, he asked, who can tell but what these drastic changes made by. war have not been for the best, for much that was delaying progress has been swept clear by battle.
 Miss Caroline Todd, President of the Business and Professional Wo- mems Club, spoke on the Business and Professional Womens View of War" advocating strength in the World Court and pointing out ad- vantages of the International Po- lice. It would be the duty of all na- tions to cooperate in curbing ban dit nations by military force, she pointed out, emphasizing policies nationally backed by the Business and Professional Womens Club.
 Referring to the recent conquests of Japan and Italy, Miss Todd pre- sented the view that although eco- nomically there was need for ex- pansion, this economic demand cov- cred political excuse for conquest. Proper distribution and manage ment at home would prevent need for taking that which is the prop

Ice CnrniudI at Fairbanks
 Opens This Week for Four

with squads from Anchorage, Cor dova, the University of Alaska, Matanuska Valley communities, and possibly Nome and other Alaska cities.
 Appealing to the imagination to a greater degree than most of the other events of the Carnival is the annual Miss Alaska beauty con- test. which will be held this year on Thursday night, March TO- The fairest girls of Fairbanks, Anchor age. Douglas, Nome, the Univer- sity, and probably several other AL aska towns will compete for the Miss Alaska title and the honors and awards that go with it. An all- expense trip to Hollywood and re- turn is one of the attractions that is adding much interest to the con- test this year.
 A full program of ski races, ski jumping, short dog races, ski-jor- ing, ice skating, and novelty events has been prepared for young and old alike.
 Beautiful Display
 Wherever there is ice suitable for the purpose, hockey is played, and especially so at the Ice Carnival. Tn former years strong teams have appeared in the competition in Fairbanks, but this year what promises to be the strongest squad to show on Northern ice will rep resent Fairbanks in the competi- tion with visiting teams. At least six members of the transforming Polar Bears that travelled across the northern tier of States and southern Canada year ago will wear the Fairbanks colors.
 To add color to the spring fes- tiyal the town will be gaily decor ated with flags, bunting, colored lights and every effect that can be devised by an ingenious decoration committee headed by Louis Jonn- son, who has done effective work in the past. On the last night of the fete a fireworks display that will thrill every spectator will be shown
 Parties, dinners, dances, and ev- cry conceivable form of entertain ment will be offered during the four days of the Carnival, The town will be in gala mood to entertain the several hundred vls- itors who will come by plane, train, and dog team to take part in the annual period of rejoicing which marks the end of winter and the approach of another season Of ac- tivity and prosperity for Alaska.
