 Tokyo. July 27.-(UP).-roreigr office officials were understood tc be discussing the possibility of re- taliatory action against the United States today as Japan's reply to the denunciation of the Japane se-Am- erican commercial treaty.
 Taking the view that the denun- citation by the United States was of political, not economic nature, of- ficials were said to be studying the possibilities of retaliatory action af- fecting American interests in China
 The United States action came as surprise and shock to officials and the public alike Stock exchange reaction was moderate, but the Tokyo new bond issue, considered baromatric. dropped two points.
 It was understood that officials were more concerned over the Am erican governments flrmness re- garding the entire situation in the Far East than over the mere abro- gation of the commercial treaty which, the said, covered but frac- ton of Japan's trade with the United States. Financiers said that the intrinsic effect of the abroga- tion would be slight.
 Japanese people as whole are unaware of the long sequence of American protests to Japan regard ing conditions in China. Hence they were even more surprised and puzzled than were officials, since they had been led to believe that everything was going smoothly.
 When the Vandenberg resolution was introduced in the American senate, favoring denunciation of the treaty, officials assured the people that it was merely a domestic polit- ical move and that it was unlike ly that the United States would abrogate the treaty.
 Now 1t was forecast that officials,

Move Comes So Suddenly Diplomatic Quarters
 Everywhere Surprised
''NEW ORDER" IN ASIA
 IS NOW PREDICTED
U. S., Japan Will Have No Trade Treaties At All
 After Six Months
BY HOBART c. MONTEE United Press Staff Correspondent

 Washington, July 27. - (UP) - The United States cleared it's economic decks today to be free for economic or commercial action to com bat Japan's attempt to im- pose a "new order in Asia" by military force. Attended by apparently overwhelming congressional support, the State Department yesterday abro- gated the 1911 treaty or commerce and navigation wit. Japan. That action left this government free, at the end of a six months notification period, to impose embargoes upon sales of war materials to Japan, or upon imports of Japanese products.
 Notified Ambassador
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull notified the Japanese ambassador here of the action while the foreign affairs committees of both the sen- ate and house were considering sey- eral bills and resolutions authorizing or requesting embargoes of war materials to Japan.
 A resolution sponsored by Sena- tor Arthur H. Vandenberg, Republi- can, Michigan, and supported by Chairman Key Pittman, Democrat, Nevada, of the senate foreign rela- tions committee, expressing the views of the senate that the 1911 treaty should be abrogated, also was being considered. A vote on 1t had been expected yesterday but was post poned, many observers believed, up- on intimations that the State De- partment was about to abrogate the treaty anyway.
 "New Order" Forecast
 In many quarters it was believed that the action forecasts a new order in Asia" of a different type than that which Japan has been attempting. It was considered sig nificant that notice of abrogation of the treaty was given just after Great Britain appeared to have sub- mitted partially to Japan's increasing pressure for free hand in China.
 When the text of the British state- ment partially recognizing Japans special position" in China became public here last week, some adminis- tration officials prophesied that the hitherto parallel lines of American and British foreign policy in the Far East would separate. Officials said the United States had no in- tention of conceding Japan any special position in China as had They indicated impatience with the increasing number of incl dents in which Americans in China have been roughly handled by Japa- nese soldiers and police.
 Sayre Presented It
 The note informing Japan that the treaty will cease to be effective late in January, was handed to an official of the Japanese embassy by Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Sayre, who had just been nom- mated by President Roosevelt to be high commissioner to the Philippine

WELCOME PIONEEERS

To the Pioneers of Alaska in session at An
chorage goes hearty greeting from the people of
Juneau and warm support for the proposal of Fair
banks I4loo No that the Grand Igoo meeting should
be held here at the Capital every two years during
the sessions of the Alaska Legislature
We would be pleased to see these fine people in
Juneau more often.
In tribute to them we reprint here "A Salute To
Alaskas Pioneers" which appeared in recent edition
OF the Nome Nugget. 1t written by Howard Lying,
member Of the Legislature, who is in Juneau
serving Speaker Of the House of Representatives
Pioneers of Alaska What stirring thoughts this
revered phrase calls to mind when contemplating these
rugged men and women who, than any other
factor made possible the creation of the Territory of
Alaska that you and I now enjoy. Truly their souls
have been possessed of that flaming spirit which
only high adventure and conquest of empire could
satisfy.
Suffering the severence Of family ties, putting
behind them the comforts of civilization, facing them
with tranquility and courage, these sturdy men and
women gave unstintingly of their brain, Drawn and
buoyancy of spirit in the subjugation and develop
men Of our great Territory, Americas last frontier.
The Pioneer has won honored place in the
hearts Of all true Aaskans His valiant spirit staunch
courage and complete devotion to the land of his
choice stand forth like shining light, beacon TO
show the way to those who follow The Pioneers are
without equal in telling the story of Alaskas growth
and development because the building of these things
is part of their actual life experiences They speak
Of what they know.
United together in common fellowship of rich
experience the Pioneers are looked to, throughout
Alaska for the benefit of their judgment and expert
acquired by long years of service to the Territory
The Pioneers Judgment is not warped by undue pride
Of self neither is it rooted in the dead issues of the
past nor colored by prejudices They do not believe
that the wheels of progress should be stopped by the
dead hand Of unthinking tradition Change is not
necessarily progress, but ability and willingness to
grow essential to it, The Pioneers hold fast to the
best Of the past contemplating the future with an
open mind seeking what is to come with their usual
understanding and enthusiasm.
One OF the many qualities that makes the Pioneers
Of Alaska great is their constant and nbounded
thuaasln, No organization transcend lack of
enthusiasm its membership for there substi-
tute for enthusiasnneither there substitute for
wisdom
When we reflect upon the countless blessings that
today when consider the benefits that
have to largely through the efforts Of Alaska
Pioneer men and women, whose generosity, supreme
confidence in the future and abiding faith in the land
Of their choice The guiding principle of their lives

we should indeed acknowledge debt of gratitude
The test of experience is the memories it leaves us
We should be constant in honoring these memories
of experiences incident to the upbuilding of Ter
ritory by this intrepid band of Pioneers.
We should be ever vigilant TO see that this great
est of all purely Alaskan organizations does not,
through apathy, sink into oblivion to that it
marches through the years with flying banners,
representative not only of the mouders of the past
but also vital force the structure of the future
