 Another contingent of Australian troops has arrived in England to join the defense forces.

 Also understood to be arriving with Major Mold, believed to be coming north with his party aboard two Army bombers, are Major John P. Dunn and Col Beverly Dunn.
 Eight hundred men will be put to work on the Annette Island pro- ject, reliable sources declared, with strong possibility half of them will be CCC laborers, and possibly all will be brought from camps in the Pacific Northwest.

 NEW THREAT
Two Prominent Japanese Held in Custody-0thers
 Are Reported Jailed

Friction between Japan and Great Britain has reached a new high point in the arrest of two of the most prominent Japanese business men in London.
 Reports are also made that other Japanese are held in ustody throughout the British Empire.
 Rumors of the existence of a big spy ring centered in London today as significant over the arrests which have "flabbergasted" high Japanese.
 The arrests came just two days after British sources expressed fear at the rapidly widening break 1n relations between Japan and Great Britain which might eventually pro- yoke Japan to take military action.
 Japan has made strong protests to the arrests but the British deny they are in the way of retaliation to the arrests of British newsmen in Japan.

 Everybody is working and will york until the close of the Sound ishing season at o'clock next Tuesday night.

WASHINGTON fact re- garding the scathing State Depart ment blast at Soviet Russia for seizing the Baltic states was that it was drafted largely in Hyde Park and that Ambassador Will liam Bullitt had lot to do with the drafting. Under Secretary of State Welles merely acted as the mouthpiece.
 The State Department had writ- ten a statement criticizing Rus sia's seizure of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and sent it to Hyde Park for approval. Here Bill Bull lit, Ambassador to Russia who now hates everything about it, completely rewrote the statement, putting in some of it's most pun gent phrases.
 The incident is significant, for two reasons: first, it illustrates how the President and his favorite Am
  partment; and second, it indicates that despite the increasing bel ligerency of Japan, the Roosevelt Administration is loath to warm up to it's most logical ally in the Pacific, Soviet Russia.
 The closeness of the Bullitt-R -Roo- sevelt tie-up has become rather embarrassing to the rest of the State Department. For instance, following Bullitt's return from Eu- rope last week he did not even visit the State Department. He went straight to the White House, and after a weekend there, accom- panied the President to Hyde Park. As a result, the State Depart

SEATTLE, Aug. 3.-International Fishermen and Allied Workers of America have protested to Secre- tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes and United States Senator LeWis B. Schwellenbach eclaring the Fisheries Bureau has arbitrarily closed the lone herring plant al- lowed to operate this season in Southeast Alaska at Port Walter by Arentson and Sons.
 The protest declares that all plants were originally denied per mission to operate, then the Bu- reau of Fisheries amended the or der and declared five operators could jointly operate one plant.
 This was agreed to and Arentson and Sons decided to operate a plant alone. Men and boats were sent north and some men were also sent up to Alaska by the Alaska Clip per.
 Then the Bureau of Fisheries re- fused this single operation as a substitute for joint operation.
 George Lane. Secretary of the Union, said Nothing has devel- oped since the original permission to operate a herring plant to war rant any change now. Both oper- ators and labor have made neces- sary investments to insure opera tion of the Port Walter plant"
