 Slattery Comment
 Another speaker at todays Chamber luncheon was Miss Char lotte Schnee of Connecticut. who said with regard to the Slattery report that it was not advanced as a solution to the refugee prob lem but for the development of Alaska.
 Miss Schnee said the report was not meant to be definitive, but is intended as the basis for further planning, It is important, she stat ed, that Alaskans be consulted all along the line in working out any plan under the Slattery report.
 Whether or not such a plan goes through, Miss Schnee declared, the report should point the way to further development of Alaska and promote general realization of the possibilities of the Territory.

are compelled to attend public pri- mary schools in their own neigh borhoods. So well Is the law obeyed that democracy is inherent in the people and there has been no H. literacy in Luxembourg for the past 30 years.
 There are some well to do peo- ple connected with the great steel industry of South Luxemburg, but there are no extremes of rich and poor such as are seen In so many countries. For instance, there are few great landed estates. But there are over 10000 farmers, whose pos- sessions vary from 2 to l2 acres. There Is practically no unemploy- ment. Luxemburg, small as 1t is, ranks eighth in the world as a steel producer.
 In the troubled years that fol- lowed the World war, after the Ger mans evacuated Luxembourg, the people voted in Q plebiscite by over 80 per cent In favor of maintaining the dynasty of their ruling house now represented by Grand Duchess Charlotte. As befits e democratic country, she lives in Q royal palace which was once a city hall and has an allowance of about sso00 yearly from the state.
