It might be possible to arrive at some definite plan for scholarship of worthy natives in order that native leadership might be trained for Alaska It is probably, said pr. Torbet, certain that any interde- nominational committee that will be formed will favor interdenomina- tional conferences of ministers and laymen and also iterdenominationa institutes for young people where ever it is feasible.
 In all of these plans their wishes and judgment of denominational fiitllobCfo ftiiQ PiotCto, AAOW WI nAiA3 in Alaska will be fully respected.

 He als oannounces he is super vising the building of church and parsonage at Unga in the Shumagin Islands. It is also the intention of the Board of Home Mis- sions and Church Extension to fully occupy the Cook Inlet country.
 One of our able pastors has been appointed to that field and it is contemplated that we will build a suitable church and other buildings at Homer that is now recognized as one of the best agricultural sec- tions in Alaska" said Dr. Torbet.
 After brief visit at Seward, Dr. Torbet announces he will immed- lately go to the west and visit the various Sunday Schools and Mis- sions in the Shumagin Islands.

The association said it did not
oppose enactment of an excess pro-

favor such a leavy as a perma-

In his broadcast address, h / S

the European situation and its ef-
feet on this country, Col. Lindbergh
emphasized:
"While I advocate the non-inter-
ference by America in the internal
affairs of Europe, I believe it is of
the utmost importance for us to CO.
operate with Europe in our rela-

the earth.
''It is only by cooperation that
we can maintain the supremacy Of
our western civilization and tn e
right of our commerce to proceed
unmolested throughout the world.
Neither they nor we are strong
enough to police the earth against
the opposition of the other.
'In the past we have dealt with
a Europe dominated by England
and France. In the future we may
have to deal with a Europe domi'
mated by Germany. But whether
England or Germany wins thi
war. western civilization will still
depend upon two great centers'
one in each hemisphere.
with all the aids of modern
science, neither of these centers is
in a position to attack the other
successfully as long as the detenses
of both are reasonably strong"
Col. L%indbergh suggested that ar
agreement between these centers

Britain has said nothing officially
concerning the detention of Mika-
hara and Tanube, but unoficially
it was said they were held on
grounds of national security und-
er the wartime aliens regulation
act.
Authoritative British quarters
likewise have stoutly maintained
there was nothing "retaliatory"
about the arrests here, despite the
parallel charges.
Matter To Be Aired
Meanwhile, informed sources
said the entire subject of British
Japanese relations would be aired
in the house of commons Tuesday.
A government statement is to be
made.
The Japanese embassy, w h o S e
spokesman said 1--WE are fabber-
gasted" at the arrest of the pro1nin-
ent merchants here, continued
their efforts to obtain their release
but there was no indication of what
results they were getting.
Sources close to the British gov
eminent said the arrests of Japan
csc in the United Kingdom were
due to statements by the Japanese
minister of justice and minister of
war that Britain was a hostile
nation" 2
These sources asserted that the
British home office, in the interest
OF national security, could not dis
regard this attitude and ordered
the arrests which would h a v e
been justified long ago" on the
facts of the case. 3
