Oil Fine Against Japanese
Companies Is Cause
of New Trouble
JApAN'S NAVY IS
ASSEMBLING MIGHT
Outer Mongolia Fighting
Is Continuing-Sif-
udtion Grave
by Associated Press

Far Eastern conflicts drew atten-
ton from European troubles today
as Great Britain and Russia became
further embroiled in the expanding
efforts of the Japanese Empire.
In Toyko, the japanese Naval Min
istry said a section of the Japanese
fleet is assembling in northern wa
tiers as a result of a SOVIET threat
to confiscate japanese coal and oil
concessions on the Russian half of
Sakhalin Island, off the Siberian
coast and north of Japan.
Russia on Monday rejected the
demand of the japanese lin ulti-
matum form" concerning rights on
the island which is half Russian
and half. japanese.
The immediate cause of the dispute
is a $4,000 fine levied against Jap
anese companies working conces-
sions in Russian territory
The situation was reported at the
Tokyo Naval Ministry as extremely
grave" as Japan waited to see if
the Soviet threat of confiscation will
be carried out.
Relations between the two powers
were further embittered by continued
fighting on the frontier between
Manchoukuo and outer Mongolia,
Asiatic states supported respectively
by Japan and Russia.

Declares Failure 10 Act on
Neutrality Has Hurt
Business
PROMINENT BUSINESS
MEN QUOTED BY FDR
Tells Newsmen There Is No
Issue 10 Garry Be-
fore The People"

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt contended at today's
conference with the newsmen that
the decision of Congress to defer
action on neutrality legislation I'M
til the next Congressional session,
will hurt business.
The President told the newsmen
that prominent businessmen have
told him the failure of Congress to
act on neutrality legislation h S
killed the incest little business
boom you ever saw"
Why Business Is Hurt
The President asserted that bus
inessmen do not want to make
commitments because they do not
know what form of neutrality leg
islation may be taken when Con-
gress convenes next year and do
not want to place orders or take
them
The President said further that
it will take more than a crisis to
impel him to call Congress in a
special session and come to grips
on the neutrality problem.
There Is No Issue
Several newsmen told the Presi-
dent that Senate Isolat ionistS were
predicting he would carry the neu-
trality issue to the country on his
prospective trip to the west coast
Roosevelt Immediately wanted to
know what neutrality existed.
One reporter remarked that the
arms embargo was the issue.
Senate Delays Action
The President then asked wheth-
er the issue was not closed until
next January by action of the Sen
ate, and then said there is and can
be no immediate issue before the
country
The Presid ent amplified this
statement by stating that this was
because certain groups of the Senate
precluded any action on neutrality
until next January.

ALASKA TRIP OF ROOSEVELT
STILL DEPENDS ON CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, July 21.-With
reference to his proposed trip to the
Pacific Coast, President Roosevelt
at today's conference with the news
men said his plans might be chang
ed and he might spend some time
along the Atlantic coast, then go to
San Francisco later and visit the
International Golden Gate EXPOSE
ton. \ ...
The President did not indicate
whether he is contemplating any
cruises on the Atlantic seaboard,
however, he did indicate he expected
to leave for the Pacific Coast soon
after Congress adjourns to see the
exposition, then go via the Inside
TO Juneau, Alaska.
The President said it appeared
that Congress might be on the job
until August and he has been adj
vised that he might arrive in the
west too late to make the Alaska
trip because fogs got bad about
that time along the Inside Passage.

to be instituted between Juneau
and the northern British Column
bia mining center next Monday, II
was announced today by Frank
Hammer, former Eastern Wash
ington pilot who recently flew to
Juneau Cooking for an opportun-
ity."
Hammer returned from Atlin last
night after a flight there to ex-
anime possibilities of an airways
between Atlin and Juneau. At the
Gastineau Hotel today, Hammer
was enthused over the possibili-
ties.
I'VE have about two tons OF

will be fresh produce, gasoline
fuel oil, and miscellaneous mining

Chamber Study Of Channel
Dredging Is Well
Received

Juneau apparently has assumed
considerable significance in the
eyes of the War Department, fol-
lowing on the heels OF initiation of
work on a $4,00O,00O Army air ex-
perimental station at Fairbanks.
This was the inference of Col.
John G. H. Lee, Division Engineer
of the War Department, on his ar
rival here from Fairbanks late
yesterday afternoon after receiving
a report of the Juneau Chamber
of Commerce on the Gastineau
Channel project which involves
dredging of the Mendenhall Flats
for boat passage and coincidental
construction of an airfield from the
waste materials
Col. Lee said OF the report to-
day: 1T is very commendable
and interesting study and research.
1t should be of considerable inter-
est and aid to the War Depart
ment."
Further than that, Col. Lee would
not be quoted. but gathering from
his statement he was pleased" to
see 80 many opportunities for
landing fields along the coast from
Juneau to Cordova, and that Jul
neau is the first of such promising
field areas between the United
States and Interior Alaska, it is

man Boosts West Plan
as Economical

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 81. =
The Canadian section of the In
ternational- British Columb a-Alas-
ka Highway Commission has re-
ceived no. instructions to include
consideration of an alternative route
through northern Alberta to AL
aSka.
Chairman Charles Stewart made
this statement today in reply to a
question at the Vancouver Board
of Trade and argued the advant-
ages of routing the highway through
British Columbia, stressing the fact
the coastal route would permit &C.
onomic servicing of the road through
lower transportation costs to coast
points.
Mayor Scanlon of Kamloops, B.
c., told the Commissioners the value
of the Central Interior which the
road could traverse is rich and cas-
lily accessible. He said the route is
the shortest and most economical
of completion.

TWO BUILDINGS
ARE DESTROYED
IN HAINES FRI
Soldiers from ChiIkoot
Barracks Prevent Wide
Destruction

A fire at Haines, starting at about
6:15 o'clock yesterday morning from
a grass fire, believed to have orig
mated from a cigarette, spread un-
til it caught under the storage shed
of the Haines Light and Power Com
pany's plant, and before extinguish-
ed, RACED the plant, partially de-
stroyed the Coliseum Theatre and
damaged the Post Office building,
according to information received by
The Empire late yesterday after
noon.
The city water was off at the
time and this gave the fire a good
start and it spread SO fast that it
was hard to curb even after a two
hour fight.
The diesel light plant was soon a
mass of flames and aided by the
explosion of several drums OF gaso-
line, caused by the terrific heat, the
fire spread over wide area.
Soldiers To Scene
Soldiers from Chilkoot Barracks
went to Haines with their fire fight
ing equipment and this proved a
life saver, for without doubt, large
portion of Haines would have been
swept by the flames, had it not been
for the soldiers assisting the Haines
residents, men, women and children,
in combating the fire.
Theatre Attire
The flames jumped to the roof of
the Coliseum Theatre and then
burned downward Streams of wa
ter, augmented by supply from
Chilkoot Barracks which had been
turned into the water mains of
Haines, finally extinguished the fire
in the theatre, but the building is
go percent destroyed and water
soaked.
The flames also reached the Post
Office building adjoining the Coli
scum but streams of water were
played on the structure and the fire
was extinguished. The building is
water soaked.
Postmaster Acts
Postmaster A. H. Klingsbury Jr.
saved the greater part of the Post
office equipment, but that remain

plant, lost all records of his office
