Strong Measures Hinted.
Many observers accepted as . hint
that strong measures are in the
making, the speech delivered Sat-
urday by First Lord of the Ad-
miralty Winston Churchhill, who
warned Germany's neighbors that
the Allies are unwilling to accept
interpretations Of neutrality which
give all the advantages to the
aggressor."
Chief interest centered in possible
further steps to keep German mer-
chantmen from using Norwegian
waters as lane through which to
transport Swedish iron ore to feed
the Nazi war machine.
1t was generally accepted that
this leak in the allied blockade had
been given careful study by the war
council.
The British press, indorsing Mr.
Churchills warning to neutral
states. clamored for measures to
make the blockade more effective,
and pointed to increased exports
from America to Germany's neutral
neighbors.
Tightening of the contraband con-
troll by "rationing' imports of neu-
trails on the basis of their normal
needs was suggested as one means
of meeting this situation.
The press also pointed out by
means Of maps. other leaks in the
biockade-namely, the transporta-

MAY CHANGE LEGISLATURE
 AS5EMBL!NG
Bill Would Give Date fol Converting as Fourth
 Monday, January
By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate DimOnd

WASHINGTON, March 30-tSpec- ial Correspondence)-Two bills were reported favorably to the Senate on March 25 by the Senate Com mittee on Territories and 1nsular Affairs. One of these was H.R. 4776, introduced by Delegate Dimond to change the date of convening of the Legislature of Alaska to the fourth Monday in January in 194l and for each session thereafter, and to au- thorize that notices of special ses- sion of the Legislature may be given by the Governor upon at least 15 days notice in writing or by tele- gram or radiogram to each mem Der of the Legislature, instead Of 30 days and only in writing.
 The change in the date of meet ing of the Legislature was recom- mended in the 1899 session for two reasons, first, to give additional time for the several Territorial of- fees to prepare and have printed the necessary copies of reports and statements for the members of the Legislature showing conditions up to the close of business on Eecem- Der 31, which has been found diffi- cult with the Legislature meeting on the second Monday in January of each odd year as now called for by law, and second, because many of the legislators are business men whose business is done on calendar year basis, and some of them have to travel considerable distances to attend the sessions, and find 1t dif- ficult to close their books for the previous year and arrive in Juneau by the opening date. It is believed that the proposed change in the date from the second Monday to the fourth Monday in January will be found more satisfactory generally
 The other bill, HR. 76l2, on which favorable report was made, is to authorize the Judge of the District Court for the First Division to pay $6,09276 to the town of Wrangell, which is the amount covered into Fund c" of the Court as fine for nonpayment of license tax in the same amount by Wrangell can- nery last year. Had the tax been paid when due it would have gone into the town treasury, but because the cannery was in financial diffi- culties and was unable to pay the tax until it had been assessed as a fine, under existing law it would not inure to the benefit of the town as the tax money would Both bills have been approved by the House.
