TWO JAPANESE BOATS REPORTED
 NORTH OF 5ITkA
w arden Haley lnvesfi- gates Report of Fishing
 in KaIinen Bay
[. I. W. Phonephofo

Reports that Japanese were fish, ing and taking soundings in Kalinen Bay at the north end of Kruzof Island in Salisbury Sound, 25 miles northwest of Sitka, were investi- gated last night by Bureau of Fish cries Warden Don Haley, who flew out to the islands with Pilot Alex Holden.
 A brisk northwest wind. however, made it impossible to land in the bay. Haley said there were any number of vessels in the bay and vicinity but he was not able to de- termine their nationality.
 At Sitka later Haley learned from Deputy U. s. Marshal Henry Bahrt that fishermen had reported two Japanese boats were seen in the bay.
 Returning to Juneau last night, Haley said the bureau would make a thorough investigation of the re- port as soon as a Fisheries vessel arrives here, probably next week.
 While at Sitka, Haley authenticat- ed seal skins taken by natives.

PROPOSAL IS MADE

SHANGHAI, June 13.-Great Bri- tain has proposed to Japan the for nation of a British-Japanese com- mission with a neutral chairman and this commission is to decide whether four Chinese accused of the murder of a Japanese should be handed over to the Japanese author ities. The four Chinese are now in British custody at Tientsin.
 The British authorities indicate that this is Londons eleventh-hour effort to liquidate in the Tientsin episode as the result of which the Japanese military authorities threa- ten to isolate the British and French concessions at Tientsin beginning tomorrow.
 The Japanese attitude toward the proposal is not learned but British officials here said they hoped the crisis will be relieved before it be- comes increasingly difficult for both sides"

NEUTRALITY LAWS OF us.
 ARE BROUGHT T0FR0NTI IN
 REQUEST TO SWITCH BACK
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The policy followed by this country since the end of the World War has reappeared in Secretary Hulls statement after four-year detour into the mysterious realms of mandatory neutrality.
 This country had an unhappy ex- perience during the World War. For nearly three years it tried to stay out but pressure from within and pressure from without made it impossible.
 When the war ended, administra- ton leaders concluded it was just about impossible to stay out of a war in Europe. The next best step then, was to try to prevent war in Europe.
 The first effort to that end was the League of Nations. Because of politics and inept management, it failed of ratification in the Senate. But Republican forces whic h brought about the defeat of that particular instrument did not aban- don the idea. In the Republican platform of 1920 was a proposal for an agreement among the na- tions to preserve the peace of the world" through impartial courts with power to call an international conference when war threatened.

REPEAL OF ARMS EMBARGO SOUGHT BY SECRETARY HULL;
 LATEST MEMO TO CONGRESS
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 13. = The most misunderstood word in the English language is having new fling on page one.
 That word is
 N-E-U- -T-R-A-L-I-T-Y-
 Secretary Hull tossed it into the national arena with his latest memo to Congress. He advises repeal of the arms embargo part of our neu- trality laws.
 Congress is now carrying the sub ject into public hearings, where all shades (and that means bodies of shades) of opinion contribute to the headline parade.
 Neutrality as word is about 600 years old. For 400 of those years, men and governments have been trying to make it mean something.
 Neutrality is a dangerous busi- ness. It got the United States into two disastrous wars-the War Of 1912 and the World War.
 It is the answer to a campaign orators prayer. To him it is talk more and -say-less" subject, like taxes.
 Mote: Both major political par ties have publicly laid the ground work to put neutrality in their 1940 platforms Both have the same general aim-to keep America out of war. Grist for the orators is HOW that can be done.)

BOSTON, Mass, June 13. - Ali. Landon, Republican standard bearer in 1886, today predicted President Roosevelt would decline to become a candidate for a third term and at the same time, in a speech prepared for delivery before the Business and Professional Women's Club of Mas sachusetts, sharply criticized New Deal economies and those who urge the President to run again in 1940.
 We are in the sixth year of an extraordinary government spending to-save policy" he said, yet dis couragement is chronic and unem- ployment increasing. This is in- deed the Roosevelt depression"

Naval Conference

Harding's election was quickly followed by call for a naval limi- tations conference.
 Out of the conference grew the nine power pact and the four power pact, both designed to curb the war spirit in oriental rivalries. Essentially the pledge was to re- spect the administrative and ter ritorial integrity of China. As a side issue, Japan and the United States agreed not to fortify outly- ing island possessions, Hawaii ex- cepted.
 Naval limitations and disarma- ment conventions of 1927 and 1880 were only partially successful in bringing about an agreement to limit warships of lighter categories not touched in the 1922 naval con- ference.
 Under the Kellogg treaty, the so-called Pact of Paris, a high spirited effort to outlaw war" was made at the invitation of the Unit ed States, trying again to prevent wars into which we might be drawn.
 In 1884 began the Nye committee investigation which disclosed the part played by munitions makers and bankers in inching this coun- try into the World War The evil dences convinced many that by stern legislation we could avoid the mistakes which in l9l4-17 propelled us into the war

Plenty of Ignorance

Despite all the danger and talk, neutrality is surrounded by a fog of plain and fancy ignorance to daunt the courage of Spartan.
 Leastways the famous American authority on neutrality-Philip C.. Jessup of Columbia University = says ignorance in the history of neutrality is the cause of many of our international difficulties. In a neutrality quiz, he hazards the guess that 300 educators and other master minds would turn in 300 wrong answers.
 International trade and it's profits are the flies in the neutrality oint- ment. No less a great American than Jefferson was all for young America making profit out of the other fellows war. Of the Russo Turkish war in 1922, he said,

The Presidents confidant took
it upon himself to tell (off the
record) what he would do if he
were in the same position as a
secretary to certain European
chancellor, generally recognized as
Adolf Hitler. He would, he said,

He'd just balloon" that he might

All this was told to a certain

and in a few minutes it was being

in the State Department press

who claim that the reporters failed
to observe the confidence re-

a few hours, Washington quivered
and wondered whether the Pres

mediator of Europe's war.
In ordinary times, what the
