Asked whether the governments
involved would be permitted to use
the traded stocks If they became in
volved in war, Senator Byrnes told
reporters he thought that question
would be answered by rising prices
that would permit automatic release
of the commodities under contem-
plated treaty arrangements.
No Effect on Neutrality.
Chairman Pittman Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said
the Byrnes plan should have no
effect on neutrality considerations
of both Senate and House COM
mittees. The Senate group will
resume hearings Thursday on pro-
posals to amend the Neutrality Act
while Acting Chairman Bloom
called the House committee to be-
gin hearings today.

sett Point, r. l., but sustained House
action in rejecting $5,000000 for
harbor Improvements at Guam.
Amid these defense preparations,
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hull were planning to make en-
phatic responses to recent moves by
Germany and Italy toward Latin
America.

Germans Told to List
Domineering Poles
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WARSAW, April 11.-A German
radio station in Gleiwitz, in the Ger
man part of Silesia, today began
broadcasting programs to Germans
in the Polish section of Silesia, urg-
ing that they compile lists of Poles
who "persecute" them.
Included in this list, the radio
said, should be the names of Poles
who remove white stockings from
German legs.
white stockings have been
adopted as the Nazi uniform in
Poland)
Germans in Poland also were
asked to get pictures of the Poles
involved, if possible. Poles of Anti
German tendencies were warned not
to enter Germany.

Assembly Is Called
To Establish New
Albanian Regime

Complete Occupation

By the Associated Press.
TIRANA, April 1.-THE pro-
visional Albanian Council has con-
voked q Constituent Assembly for 4
pm. tomorrow, it was authoritative
ly announced today while Italian
troops pushed toward completion
their occupation Of the mountainous
country.
Calling the Assembly was the first
step taken by the Fascist conquer
ors to establish what appeared likely
to become a new, permanent gov
ernment to succeed that of King
Zog, now in exile.
From S to IS delegates from each
Albanian province were expected to
attend the session, which previous
reports said might be confined to
deliberations on purely local matters.
One. of the latest towns to fall
into Italian hands was Kroja, an
cient capital of Albania's national
hero, Skanderberg, who led a 18th
century uprising against the Turks.
Propaganda Films Shown.
Italians who won the favor of ma
tives by offering them food and
other supplies and staging acrobatic
exhibitions, gave a new demonstra-
ton of their benevolence by OPEN
ing the movie houses in Tirana free
Of charge. The natives were shown
Italian propaganda films.

approximately $85,0O0,O00. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that in order ade-
quately to protect our industries 1t
would be advisable to have an addi-
tional 1850, 900, 900 pounds, the ap-
proximate amount of rubber used
by our industries In year."
Such a stock, he said, would afford
protection against price increases in
case of a European war, would pre-
vent industrial shutdowns from
shortage of supply and would avoid
for a time the necessity of sending
American ships into the war zone to
obtain supplies.
Senator Byrnes said the Army and
Navy have recommended acquisition
of tin reserves costing about $685.
O0O, 900.
The State Department issued the
following stateme:l' concerning the
proposal:
The project is, as understood at
the State Department. that the
State Department should undertake
to find out whether certain other
governments would be willing to en-
ter into an exchange with this
Government of certain raw ma
terials reciprocally desired for emer-
gency stock purposes and for such
purposes only.
Would Be Held in Reserve.
Prom the American point of
view. it would be most useful for
us to acquire, for long-term storage,
reserve stocks Of certain materials
not produced within the United
States or produced only in limited
quantities under very disadvan-
tageous circumstances. Various ex-
ecutive departments have strongly
indicated this policy in their sup
port of the several bills now before
Congress for acquiring such reserve
stocks by purchase. 1t is our sim
cere hope that this legislation will
be passed.
1.-THE appropriations available un-
der such legislation, however, will
not be sufficient to make possible
the acquisition Of adequate sup
plies. Therfore, If 1t proves to be
possible to secure some of these
supplies by direct exchange for some
of our surplus wheat and cotton,
wish to store for emergencies, such
which other governments might
interchange ought to be mutually
beneficial.
"Such arrangements would fall
completely outside Of the tSphere
of ordinary commercial interchange
and would not affect the sphere OF
operation of the trade agreements
program or any of our other gen.
eral policies.
Might Be Included in Treaties.
IF the President so desires, dis
cussions of the type referred to by
Senator Byrnes would be underta-
ken as soon as convenient and
suitable opportunity presented it.
self. If any agreements were
reached presumably they would be
embodied in treaties to be SUBJ
mitted to the Congress"
Senator Byrnes stressed the farm
relief aspects of the plan, and did
not emphasize the aid it would give
European democracies in preparing
for crisis. He indicated the United
States might be willing to talk such
exchanges with other countries, but
it was believed here that Germany
and Italy have few spare products
which are non-competitive with
United States goods.
Senator Byrnes said the program
he announced had been tentatively
approved by a group Of Senators
representing the West and South
including Senators Lucas, Democrat

 Hazard Exists

Juneau's electrical wiring system is safeguarded as completely as that in other cities, it holds no threat of extra fire danger, it does not in ~terfere with radio reception and it does not cause high fire insurance rate here.
 This was the assurance today of w. s. Pullen, General Manager of the Alaska Electric Light and Pow CT Company, in answer to recent agi- tation for changes in the system.
 Grounding of neutrals would not materially affect any of the situ- ations which have been the object of criticism, MT. Pullen said. Such grounding is done to carry off stray currents only in cities where there are underground systems, he ex- plained.
 Wiring Fires Few
 Fires from electrical wiring are very few in Juneau, occurring less often than in other cities of the same size, he pointed out.

 As to radio reception, it is obvious that interference is not due to lack of grounding of distribution systems, MT. Pullen said, because if it were the interference would be constant, whereas everyone knows radio recep- ton is often good here for days at a time.
 Juneau is a highly electrified city, MT. Pullen pointed out. He said that the light company was just as anx- icus as everyone else to see that the wiring system is safeguarded.

President Wilson signed committed us to help France defend the Rhine against Germany. It was designed to be only a temporary treaty, tc protect France until the League of Nations could begin to function But the Senate would have nothing to do with the League and the French treaty died with it.
 Since then the country has avoided "entangling alliances" but has been anything but isolationist Immediately after the war this country called the Naval confer ence and signed a naval limitations treaty. Followed then the nine power and the four power pacts to respect the open door in China as well as it's territorial integrity and the 50-power Kellogg pact for outlawry of war.
 All the shouting about "our well established tradition of isolation was not directed as such agree ments. Even such an ''isolationist' as Senator Borah was virtually the father, even if not the name-giver, to the Kellogg pact.
