WASHINGTON, March IA IT The diplomatic nut which has not yet been cracked either here or abroad is whether Japan is tightly united with Germany and Italy in a mili- tary alliance against all corners or just merely sailing along with them for mutual benefit.
 Japan's seizure of Hainan Island, off the French Indo-China coast, could be interpreted either way.
 Neither the United States, Eng land, nor France has accepted as a fact that there is a military alli- ance. There are reasons for Japan to hesitate. Her alliance with Ger many and Italy against commit nism, which means against Russia, is natural for her. But joining a military alliance against any and all enemies of Germany and Italy, is different.
 Japan is disposed to tool along with the U. s. on reasonably friendly basis and only foolish diplomat would think of trying to

President, in Special Mes sage, Says Congress
 Must Take Action LARGE AMOUNT NOW

Unemployment Situation Unchanged from Last
 January, February

WASHINGTON, March l4.--Pres- ident Roosevelt, describing the re- lief situation as very serious" told the law making branch today that responsibility of appropriating suffi- cient money to carry on the WPA until July l. rests of necessity on Congress"
 While not recommending specific deficiency or figures, the President in a special message asserted that recent data furnished him shows the substantial need of his previous proposal for an additional appro- priation of $150.000. .000.
 This was the amount Congress cut from his original request in January of $875, 100000 to run the WPA for the last five months of the present fiscal year which he asked restored in a message of February '.
 The Presto dent in his message to- sy says there is no substantial
 snge in the conditions of unem-
 yment since January or February.
 The Government of the United states is faced by condition and not a theory" the President says in his message. "Insufficiency of money appropriated will compel the Administrator to discharge about one million and quarter of actual workers within the very near future unless money is appropriated now"

Bristol Bay Great issue,
 EntireCoasi
Chairman of hi. Fisheries Com. Makes Posi-
 five Assertions

SEATTLE, March l4-"The Jap anese fishing invasion of Bristol Bay presents a problem that is not local to Bristol Bay or to Alaska. Here we find a testing ground for two important principles of deep sea fish, ing, conservation versus exploita- tion," Edward w. Allen, Chairman of the International Fisheries Commis- sion and member of the Internal Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commis- sion told members of the Common wealth Club of California in San Francisco. MT. Aliens talk was broadcast by the Nst.onal Broad- casting Company
 "The United States and Canada, separately and jointly, have become the opponents of sound conserva- tion," MT. Allen told his listeners. Japan, on the other hand, is the leading exponnet in the Pacific of the doctrine of catching all the fish you can in any manner you can without regard for the future.
 Entire Coast Interested
 Japanese fishing in Bristol Bay effects Alaska British Columbia, and all three Pacific Coast states The salmon fishery is Alaska's most important industry, but the entire Pacific Coast is interested in this as well as in other varieties of fish These fisheries give direct employ ment to many thousands of men from California to the Boring Sea and indirect employment through shipyards, supply houses, and in other ways to probably as many more. If the Japanese should be suc- cessful in their attack upon the Bristol Bay fishery, they will un- doubtedly follow on down the Am erican coast operating against the fisheries of the region wherever they find it profitable.
 Alaska fishermen and operators have been subjected to severe res trictions in order to build up and perserve our fisheries. It is not right that others who have not contribut- ed to this conservation in any way should reap the benefit"
 Allen pointed out the difficulties that Japan has been having with Russia over Siberian fisheries, and expressed the belief that these diff faculties may have been partly res ponsible for the Japanese turning to American fisheries.

 A further pressure arises from within. Private sources indicate that German notes issues are in creasing. This variety of imitation

Additional Information Concern
ing First Well Drilling At
Accident

C. F. Kimmell, of Owensburg, Ky,
who had frst-hand knowledge Of the
drilling of the first well at Accident,
writes the following account TO The
Republican, which corrects some Of
the statements made in the article ap-
pearing in the issue of October CT
The Republican,;
note your statement regarding the
first well drilled at Accident, which l
wish to correct. This well was COM
menced in the fall of 1920 and was
drilled to a total depth of 1886 feet,
and we expected at that time to reach
the Oriskany sand at approximately
six thousand feet, but on account Of
the loss of tools in the hole at that
depth we were unable to proceed fur
Their. The leases at that time were ac-
uuired through the efforts of J. W.
Kimmell, my brother, at my request
and the well was financed through my
friends and associates in Pittsburgh,
namely, Norwood Johnson, r. W. Han
nan, Charles B. Hall, John Beck, and
myself.
The we'll was drilled by Clint Mccall,
contractor, of Pittsburgh.
These statements are made for the
benefit and information of those who
are now interested and others who
may become interested in the devel-
opment in that vicinity.
