HULL AGAINST TWO-WAY
PACTS

Argentina negotiated special trade
agreements with England and Ger
many. In the Argentine-Brit
agreement England gets 20 percent
exchange advantage. Germany gets
something comparable. Sec tary
Hull refuses to have anything to do
with these strictly two-way trade
agreements. So U. S. trade has had
to hurdle a 20 percent advantage in
order to compete with England.
Nevertheless the U. S. has COM
peted. During 1888, as in instance,
Argentina brought s76,750000 of
U. S. goods and paid $4,000, 900
on her debts, a total of $92, 10000.
The United States, however, bought
only 29,999, 999 of Argentina goods.
That made Argentina dig into its
pockets for sos, ESQ, 1000 to send here.
Since England and Germany buy
more from Argentina than they sell,
they can squeeze concessions. Also,
since Argentina is buying more from
the U. S. than she sells us, she can
squeeze us. She is doing it. A 40 per-
cent cut in U. S. purchases has been
ordered, knocking off about $31, 000,-
900 of trade.

SENATE PASSES
BUILDING FUND
FOR UNIVERSITY
$40, 900 Bill Voted, Faces
House Fight : Liquor
Measure Killed

A $4,000 appropriation for new
buildings at the University OF Alaska
was voted today by the Senate, after
full morning of discussion featured
by testimony of DR.. Charles G. Bun
nell that the money was sorely need
ed at College to take care of an in
creased enrolment.
Senators voted five to three on the
BILL which now is at the mercy OF
the House, where two-thirds vote
is necessary to suspend the rules
to receive the measure. The House
this week defeated by a vote of eight
to eight a similar bill which would
have appropriated $4,000 for the
biennium.
Senators who voted against the
bill were Henry Roden, who said
that introduction of such legisla-
ton was violation of a promise
made when the 1887 Legislature vot-
ed $195,000 building fund that no
request for additional building funds
would be asked at this session; Joe
Holman, who said that ''the little
red school house" had been deprived
OF needed funds this session and he
could not see why a large amount
should now be voted for the Univer-
sity; and LeRroy Sullivan, who said
he was of the opinion the bill would
make no Roadway in the House any
way
To Complete Building
DR.. Bunnell said the Regents asked
for building fund of $12l, 900 this
biennium but that they would do
the best they could" with the $4,000.
The money will be used, he predicted,
to complete the Ellison Building of
which only the first story of the
three planned has been finished. The
second story will be used for class
rooms and the top one for a mems
dormitory.
So crowded are conditions at the
University, DR.. Bunnell said, that IS
men students are living in the base
ment of the new women's dormitory.
Senator Cochran spoke strongly
in favor of the bill, saying the Uni
versity is a monument which for
ever will stand as a credit to this
Territory" Others praising the in
measure were Senators Rivers, La
Boyteaux, Patterson and Walker.
Senator Hoffman, in the course of
his remarks in opposition to the bill,
said, ''the trouble with this country
today is that we have too many
college boys"
Liquor Bill Killed
Other principal business of this
mornings session was consideration
OF Senator Patterson's liquor regula-
tons bill which came belatedly from
the Education Committee and was
administered the coup de grace of
four to four. After half an hour was
spent in reading the bill through
and discussing amendments, mo-
ton for "the previous question" as
utilized for the first time this session

Means Appropriations Bill last night
asking total appropriation so far
for the biennium, of 81, 234,550.
The Treasury's watch dog, Re-
resentative Rogge, Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, said his

Most offices failed to get what they
asked for in the budget requests, al
though no slashes were made by the
House Committee of the Whole in
the appropriation bill itself.
Biggest boost was given by Repre-
sentatives to the section Cleaning OF

most in intirety to catching of Dolly

Close to two million Dolly Warden

to Bureau of Fisheries records. An
other appropriation boost was given
the Alaska Planning Council. which
bill recommended be given $4,000

POPE GIVES
PRAYER FOR
CALM WORLD
Makes Peace Keystone OF
His Policy Same as Pre-
deCessor Did

VATICAN CITY, Italy, March B.
Pope Plus XII, new pontiff OF the
Catholic Church, today expressed
hope for peace and accord among
nations during his Pontificate, in a
message broadcast to the entire
Christian world
The Pope spoke five minutes in
Latin and urged all men to devote
themselves to peace, faith, charity,
and love of Jesus Christ"
The new Pope had earlier set his
coronation date as March IL.
Said the Pope in his speech: I'VE
invite everybody to seek peace OF
conscience, be tranquil in friendship
and seek peace among families I'M
tied by the harmonized Holy love of
Christ, and finally to peace among
nations through mutual brotherly
assistance and friendly collabora-
ton in these troublesome and diff
cult hours.
while SO many difficulties seem
to impede the attainment of that
peace, which is the most profound
inspiration of our hearts, we raise
to the Lord special prayer for all
those entrusted to the high honor
and grave burden of guiding peoples
on the road to prosperity and pro-
gress."
Thus, like his predecessor. the
Pope of Peace, Pope Plus XII made
the search of peace the keystone
of his policy in office.

Arqeniine Trade Rebellion
Is Putting United States 10
Great Test Of Good Neighbof
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 3. y The
extent to which the United States
is willing to go on being the good
neighbor" to the southern republics
is put to the test by the Argentine
trade rebellion.
Although the rebellion broke sud-
denly, it didn't take Washington Of
ficials entirely by surprise. Argen-
tina has had complaints of several
years standing. Moreover, U. S. Of
ficials knew that Argentina was I'M
der pressure from Germany and
England to>give them larger share
of business.
In years past when trade barriers
were only moderately high the Unit
ed States traded freely with Argen-
tina. In years when Argentina
bought from us more than she sold
she in turn sold England lot OF
Argentine goods. That's how she got
the extra cash to pay for the excess
of u. S. goods. In turn, the U. s.
bought British goods SO England
could pay Argentina Foreign trade
on that basis is a round robin af-
fair, which balances out in the end,
all things considered
But after the war first one coun-
try, then another. failed to buy
its quota and SO broke down the
system. One of the things that
tended to break down the Argen-
tine-U. S. part of the system, Off
Gals here believe, was the steady
rise since 1922 in U. S. tariffs on
Argentina products such as hides,
flaxseed, linseed oil and canned
meats.

Four legislative measures came
over to the House of Representatives
last night, two days late for man.
datory acceptance, and either be-
cause the House didn't like the bills
or perhaps their Senatorial source
none were accepted.
First to get the axe was Senate
Joint Memorial IL, by Patterson,
asking that Congress repeal laws

ways, specifically on the Richard
son.
Next under the axe was Substi-
tute for Senate Bill 40, by Holman.
which would have given the Terri
tory prior liens on mining property
whose taxes have not been paid
between December 81 and March
IS.
Third measure from the Senate
to fall, strangely enough, was the
bill by Roden, Senate Bill 50, which
would raise gold tax exemption to
$4,000.
The House still has a bill by
Spencer and Rogge, identical to Ro-
den's measure, and should they pass
1t, the Senate is not expected to give
it any better treatment than Sena-
tor Roden's measure In the House.
Senate Bill 95, referring to assess
ment work on mining claims, the
law requiring 500 worth of work
on each claim per annum, also met
death for it's addition of the phrase
"as required by the laws of the
United States"
Purpose of Senator Rivers intro
duction OF the measure Is said to
be to make it mandatory that Al
aska assessment work requirements
be suspended should Congress enact
such moratorium for the States.
House members decided Senator
Rivers bill failed to accomplish any
thing so turned it down.
However, the House did concur in
Senate amendments to House Joint
Memorial 81, asking Congress to
close Southeast Alaska to herring
fishing except for. food and bait;
House Joint Memorial %, asking
for Federal sponsorship of an Al

jointly with the Bureau Of Fish

DIS(0VERER OF KING
TUT'5 TOMB IS DEAD;
WASN'T 5UpER5TITI0U5

LONDON, March 3.-Howard Car
ter, So, archeologist, who discovered
the treasures of King Tut Ankh
Amen's tomb, died today
1t was said that he spent half his
life in the bowels of the earth.
His career was long series of
Egyptian excavations and discoveries
wi.ic.irfhrew new light on obscure
pages Of ancient history and made
Carter widely known as one of the
outstanding Psychologists OF the
twentieth century
What was regarded as the climax
of his professional life was his dis
covery in 1922 of the tomb of King
Tut Ankh Amen. 1t was during the
reign of that youthful Pharoh OF
Egypt, some writer's have recorded,
that Moses led the Israelites through
the Red Sea, and the finding OF his
tomb aroused a popular interest
throughout the world.
Nine-year Search
Mr.. Carter made his great find
after nine years of patient search
ing in the valley of the Tombs of
the Kings. His excavations finally
brought to light the mummy OF the
boy king, lying in a nest OF three
collins, the innermost of which was
of pure gold.
There also were discovered hum
dreds of objects entombed with the
mummy, the splendor Of the whole
thing being such as to almost BATTLE
description. Besides priceless jewels
and ornaments, the objects included
Inscriptions and drawings which
have proved OF incalculable value in
Egyptology.
Faced Desert PrivatiOns
In contrast to the sturdiness with
which as an Egyptolist he faced the
privations and hardships OF the
desert, Mr. Carriers early life was
marked by long continued i'll health.
Because OF this he was obliged to
obtain his early education from prl-
vate tutors at such times as his con-
dition made it possible for him TO
study.
Mr.. Carter was born at Swaff-
ham, Norfolk, England, in 1873, the
Younger son of Samuel John Carter,
an animal painter In his youth ne
developed considerable skill as
painter and for a time showed IN
dications toward following MS
fathers profession.
Chooses Life Work
He was attracted to archaeology,
however, and choosing that as his
life work, trained for it under LORD
Amherst of Hackney, Prof. l.. Crit
fifth, Prof. Flinders Petrie, Prof. Ed
ward NavilIe and Sir CASTOR Mas

After he was II years old Mr.. Car
ter lived most of his life at Gurna,
in Luxor, Upper Egypt. He MADE
practice of returning each year
to spend several weeks in London,
where he was a member OF the
Constitutional and Burlington Fine
Arts Clubs.
Tombs Uncovered
Making his first trip to Egypt at
the age of IT, Carter was on the stair
OF the Egyptian Expeditionary Force
Archaeological Survey. He assisted
Professor Petrie in excavating Tel
el-Amar on behalf of Lord Amherst
in 1892. For the next six years dur
ing the Deir-el- Bahari campaign he
was draughtsman on the staff.

of the Antiquities Department OF the
Egyptian government. He organized
