Reich Pact Spurs
|ta|y's Peace Hope
In Polish Quarrel
Ciono Reported to Have
Received Assurances
Against War
BY the Associated Press.

by tIle hSSOCldleQ fTeSS.
MILAN, Italy, May 8.-Hope fol
German-Polish reconciliation grew
in Italian political circles today a.
Fascists pondered the implications
of their new military and politica
alliance with Germany.
Informed Fascists who expressed
hope reasoned that Premier Mus
solini would not have agreed tc
such an alliance as was announced
yesterday if he had expected it tc
involve him in an Eastern European
conflict almost as soon as it was
signed.
The announcement yesterday al
the end of two days of talks between
Count Galeazzo Ciano and Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, Italian and Ger
man foreign ministers. said, 1T was
decided to establish the relation OF
the two states of the axis definitely
as we'll as from the formal point
of view, in a political and military
pact" The pact still was to be
drafted in detail.
Italy's Influence Exerted.
The Fascist hope for a German
Polish settlement was strengthened
by a belief that Italy in recent days
had exerted influence both in Ber-
lin and Warsaw to promote COM
promise.
The general optimism displayed in
official quarters over the likelihood
of a pacific solution of the Danzig
question between Berlin and War
saw was taken as indicating Italy
was satisfied that Germany would
not attempt a forceful solution.
Some observers believed that
Count Ciano received definite assur-
ances to this effect from Won Rib
bentrop before giving Italys assent
to the pact of Milan.
The statement in the official COM
munique that the accord was in
tended to contribute effectively tt
assuring peace in Europe, was clteo
in support of this view.
Fascists also hailed the agreement
as demonstrating, first, that thu
Rome Berlin axis was destined t
remain intact despite foreign specu'
lation on it's fragility, and, second
that the axis noWers were carrying
out their determination not to 60 or
the defensive in the face of th'
more vigorous policy adopted re-
Gently by Britain and France.
One authoritative Fascist insisted
however, that the pact was mot di'
rected against any one" The pre-
else terms of the agreement prob
ably will be decided on within two
weeks, after which ratiflcations will
be exchanged. Thus would be re-
placed the informal, unwritter
agreement in which Premier Mus
solini and Reichsfuehrer Hitlel
have worked together as axis part
nerS.
Britain and France have pledged
military assistance to Poland IL
event Poland considered her indie
pendence threatened.

 In view of the resignation of o s Weaver as Committeeman for the Second Division, the Sec retary of the Club was directed to wire the Territorial Commit tee for another appointment, the names of Chas. D Jones and T O GiVan to be recommended for the position.

Rollyn Ball announced his intention to file also for Representative.
 The president of the Club was directed to appoint a Candidate Committee to contact different sections of the Division and local Republicans to assure Republic an ticket that will represent the entire northwestern Alaska.

 Are Open For Aviation Cadets
(Contirued From Page One)

(Contirued From Page One) area, Presidio of San Francisco, California or of the district re- cruiting officer, U s Army, 121 Federal Office Building, Seattle.
 Candidates who are accepted for flying training in the Air Corps are enlisted as flying cad cts. This grade in the army was created by the Act of Congress approved July II, 1919. Flying cadets wear distinctive uniforms which differ from those worn by officers or enlisted men of the Army and they are quartered in separate barracks provided for them. The flying cadets of the Air Corps constitute a body of young men who are noted for their splendid character and ex- cellent discipline. The pay of fly ing cadets is $75 per month. In addition there is a ration allow ance of $1 per day. While under going training they are quarter ed at no expense to themselves in modern barracks or in other suitable manner. Necessary uni forms and flying equipment are furnished without cost. Trans portation is furnished to flying cadets from the place of enlist ment to the civil flying school at government expense.
 Flying cadets have the oppor- tunity to apply for any one of the standard types of United States government life insurance which is provided at low cost and which can be continued in force after one leaves the service.
 A young man who has decided to follow aviation as his career and who has received the bene- fits of Army Air Corps flying training together with several years of flying experience while on active duty with tactical units of the regular army after grad uation, finds himself in a most favorable position to seek em- ployment in civil life either-&ir one of the many remunerative position in the field of aviation itself or with one of the grow ing number of commercial con- cerns which are becoming more and more interwoven in one way or another with the rapidly ex- banding industry.
 The average individual in con- sidering aviation is likely to think of what it has to offer the pilot. At present airline pilots receive an average of $500 per month and the pay of copilots ranges between $190 and $359 per month.
