WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-Without naming nations, President Roosevelt, in a formal statement today, said the United States Government hopes American manufacturers and exporters of planes. aeronautical equipment and war materials will bear in mind the Governments poll icy of condemning "unprovoked' bombing" of civilians.
 The statement was issued after a conference with Secretary of State Cordell Hull and appeals to Russia and Finland not to bomb civilain populations.
 White House Secretary Stephen Early said Finland is drafting for nal reply, but the American Min ister there has already received an oral reply expressing Finnish high qualification for the United States action.

NATIONAL INCOME IN us.
 WILL TOP 68 BILLION IN
 PRESENT YEAR IS CLAIM
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.--The na- tional income of the American peo- pie will top the 68-billion- dollar mark this year That's about four billions ahead of the net income for 1888.
 The unemployed at the end of the year will number about 100000 or less than they've been since the stock market crash of 1929.
 That income is far short of the 0-billion- dollar economic millen- nium desired by President Roose- yelt. And the unemployed are still four times as numerous as they were in 1929.
 But there has been a sharp up- turn-better than most economists dared to expect before the Europ- can war came along.

 aska, Kefehikdn Lab

SEATTLE, Dec. 2. = Dr. Ernest Gruening, boarding the steamer Yu- kon this morning for Juneau to take oath of office as Governor of AL aska, said Canada's entry into the war had not dampened enthusiasm of Canadians for the proposed AL aska highway.
 Slight opposition and indiffer- ence which were at first encoun- tered in the Dominion, he said have disappeared
 Building of the highway and estab- lishment of regular airlines between Alaska and the States are the Ter ritory's most urgent needs, he de- clared.
 It was learned here today that one of the first projects pr. Gruen- ing will consider upon his arrival in Alaska will be the possibility of establishment of University of Alas ka fisheries classes, made possible jointly by the University and the Ketchikan fisheries laboratory of the Bureau of Fisheries.
 Gruening will confer with J. w. Mendenhall, member of the Terri torial Fisheries Experiment Com mission, upon his arrival in Ket- chikan.
 At a meeting of the Washington State Press Club. Dr. Gruening con- mended Alaskan newspapers as a "creditable part of American jour nalism' and said the better papers are comparable to those in the cities of the States. Gruening is former newspaperman of long experience.

HELSINKI, Dec. 2-Women and children in the Kaarelin sector vil- lage of Olkinuora drained of man. power, today killed three Russian fliers with axes, pitchforks, shovels and shotguns.
 The fliers bailed out of their dam aged aircraft near the village, empty of men who were away at war.
 Reports said small boys who sight ed the Russians parachuting down, aroused villagers who surrounded the fliers and beat them to death, al- though the fliers attempted to de- fend themselves with pistol fire.

REPRISALs GROW


 That should have told Japan that such things as embargoes of raw materials were being discussed in the United States. But Japan didn't take the hint. The annoying block ade of the British area in Tientsin- including the public strippings and searching-was extended in part to Americans.
 Reprisal came fairly fast. Senator Pittman, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, who frequently acts under State Department guid- ance, introduced resolution calling for an embargo against Japan. Hot on it's heels came the U 5. denun- citation of the 28-year-old trade treaty with Japan.
 If the United States had wanted simply to exert pressure on Japan it could have done so forcefully and effectively while negotiating g new treaty. But just now it is popu- lar to lash the Japanese so they got it in the teeth.
 The Japanese have replied in kind Within the past few days a detailed report was filed with the State De- partment of the increasing restric- tions imposed by Japanese on Yan- kee operations in China.

30-MILE. WIND
 LASHES JUNEAU

Wind reaching a velocity of 30 miles an hour whipped Juneau to- day, bringing more than an inch of rain to add to the already pro- digious total for the year.
 According to U. s. Weather Bu- reau instruments, the wind in- creased between 4 and o'clock this morning, reaching a maximum sustained velocity over a five minute period of 30 miles per hour from the east at 9:53 o'clock this morning.

DEBATE GOES ON


 The Japanese always insist that the United States is being used by the British as catspaw to protect British interests in the Orient.
 The United States says its inter- est is governed by large concept equality of opportunity once agreed to by a group of nations cannot be changed simply by one nation.
 Failure to observe that prin- ciple," said Ambassador Grew in comprehensive statement to the Japanese of the U S. position, breeds international friction and ill-will, with consequences injurious to all countries, including in par ticular those countries which fail to observe it."
 Japan apparently forgot to read closely enough the part of that sentence after the last comma. Also it evidently forgot to read the next part of the same paragraph, in which Grew said:
 Observance of that principle fof equal opportunity promotes the opening of trade channels thereby making available the markets, the raw materials and the manufactured products of the community of na- tions on a mutually and reciprocally beneficial basis"

HULL MAY ACT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. - Wide spread speculation is evident that Secretary of State Hull might mar shal public opinion against plane sales to Russia by calling attention to his statement of 1898 when pub lie opinion halted shipments of bombing planes to Japan after he had condemned civilian bombings.
 Another plan for proposed action, now gaining Congressional support is one for aiding Finland by voting her a moratorium on her war debts payments to the United States.
 The plan is given support of Sem ators Norris, Borah, and Clark.
 Senator Johnson of Colorado said he did not believe the action would be fair to American taxpayers.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. - The State Department is keeping a weather eye out on Europe but the real trouble spot for this country just new is Japan. It will be the headline maker around the first of the year.
 It would be hard to find two na- tions so actively engaged in ruff fling each others feelings while at peace as the United States and Japan.
 Naturally both sides claim to be right Each claims the other is pur- suing a course which fails to take into consideration the realities of the situation.

PRO AND CON
 Japan insists that the United States, along with all other non- Oriental nations, fails to under stand" that there is a new order in the Orient. The assertion that others do not understand" the pe- culiar problems of the Orient is a favorite one of the Japanese.
 On the contrary, the Unite d States declares it very well under stands the situation. Japan, says the United States, deliberately set out to make over China in its own image, all in violation of interna- tional law and in violation of treaties Japan had signed with other coun- tries

mans, so far, are extremely reluc-
tant to start real war against the
French. At first they frankly did
not believe that war existed. The
French almost Immediately crossed
the Saareguemines Bridge over the
Saar and occupied the suburb Of
Neukirch. Next day in galloped a
squad Of German cavalry. The
French surrounded, disarmed, and
took them to Saareguemines.
"This is a damned outrage" said
a German officer. Send us back to
Germany Immediately" He did not
know that war existed.
Now the Germans know, but they
restrict their bombardments to the
front lines and hardly have touched
the roads. We saw factory CHM

We reached Saareguemines with

we came nearer and nearer to the
fighting line we could almost hear
the silence. The town itself, a we'll

place, was like a gloomy Sunday.
There was not an inhabitant. To
find soldiers one had to look sharply
and officers can be located only
through soldiers. While we stood
talking with a couple of friendly
officers suddenly anti-aircraft guns
started barking sharply, spotting the
sky with little puffs Of black and

incredibly high.

an officer explained

shouted. Don't risk your life for
anything. You might be hit by a
