Highway Commission Lays Full Report Before See-
 retary of State Hull
CONSTRUCTION WAIVED
 AS pRE(AUTI0N MOVE
Chairman Mdgnuson Goes Into Details Regdrd-
 ing Important Deal

WASHINGTON, May 22-Imme- diate construction of the S25, 100000 highway from the United States proper to Alaska, distance of l,60O miles, as precaution against invasion by Russia from Siberia is recommended to Secretary of State Cordell Hull in the report of the Alaska Highway Commission. i, The report is made public by Representative Warren c. Magnu- son, of the State of Washington and Chairman of the Alaska High way Commission.
 The report says that Russia, If so disposed, could attack from the existing bases in Siberia. Maps and descriptions are attached to the report and is intended to aid the State Department in negotiating a treaty with Canada for construc- ton of the highway.
 Japan Russo Pact
 The report calls attention to the tentative understanding between Japan and Russia.
 In discussing the possibilities of an invasion from Siberia, tfie re- port says Russia has been on many sides during the past year and today she has effected a ten tative understanding with Japan and such an alliance, while i'm probable, gives possible chance that Alaska could be invaded from Asia, 50 miles away. Troops could invade Alaska from half a dozen existing bases in Si- beria and adjacent to that terri tory, or proceed from Archangel by a newly determined Siberian-Arc- tic coastal route
 Naval Powerless
 The United States Navy, with out heavy ice breakers, would be powerless to prevent such an at tack"
 The report describes Alaska as extremely isolated and dependent altogether on outside resources and existence.
 The report says the Commission believes the highway can be built within 18 to 20 months. "Alaskans feel that once cut off from the sea they will be powerless to resist an enemy. They feel such a catastrophe can occur and feel the full force of our navy may be deflected for defense of the At lantic coast, Hawaii or the Philip pines," the report adds.

WASHINGTON, May 22-Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson to- day assailed the Neutrality Act as the violation of our most sacred important tradition of foreign pol icy and freedom of the seas"
 Like Secretary of Navy Frank Knox, who yesterday termed the Neutrality Act as barring American shipping from war zones a terrible olunder," secretary Stimson stressed that he was speaking as m individual rather than as Sec retary of War.
 Stimson added however, what he described as a conflict between the Neutrality Act and freedom of the seas principles, will have to be very carefully considered" in de- ivering munitions to Great Brit ain.

WASHINGTON-It takes no pro- found expert on international rela- tions to see cogent parallels between this country today and that of cer- tain European countries yesterday.
 For instance: Five years ago this column gave the inside story of the French dilemma on March 2, l936- the date Hitler sent his troops into the demilitarized Rhineland. All that Hateful day, the French Cabinet deliberated. Whether to send the French army into the Rhineland to stop Hitler's very small, very inex- perienced, young army was the ques- ton.
 Chief of Staff Gamelin notified the Cabinet that to oppose Hitler might not actually mean war, but it meant the risk of war. Hitler's new young army might fold up and retreat. But if it took stand, it meant war.
 The Cabinet debated this all day long. Finally it decided that the country could not risk war. The political reaction would be bad. Also the defense program was not com plete.
 Later it was disclosed that Hitler had given the troop commanders double marching orders. One order was to advance. The other order was to retreat in case of French re- SiStance.
 NOTE: One year later, when Hit- Ter took Austria, France was better prepared. But Germany was even more so. And far more important, Germany now had protected her great industrial area of the Runr and moved into the strategic Rhine valley, for which an attack on either France or Germany is absolutely essential.

Further, the selected ancestor of

duce good, strong, animable, we'll
proportioned offspring. II they are
too short-legged. the animals are
unwilling to take proper exercise,
and If too long-legged, they are
likely to be a rangy lot. Purchasers
OF hams desire a certain type, and
breeders who count on the lard
market must cater to that need.
The Duroc-Jersey breed has been
perfected by mating the best strains
of red hogs developed In sections of
New York and New Jersey. In New
York the Duroc is said to have been
brought to its present state Of de-
STABILITY for lard purposes by the
man who owned the famous stallion
Duroc, and this name was given to
the red hogs of New York, while
the finest type Of red hogs in New
Jersey were introduced to the New
York ones. Thus was accomplished
the independent breed known as
Duroc- Jersey. Cherry red is the
color of the coat worn by these
swine without any admixture Of any
other colors. Some of the offspring
are brighter or paler shade of the
popular hue-but the base shade
remains
From the earliest history Of these
hogs they have retained their record
for prolificacv and hardness. and
this combination naturally places
them in the good graces OF the
farmers Furthermore, the old
grandsire does not become too port
ly in his ole days, neither does his
temper get too peppery. The
mothers are devoted to their babies
| and produce an abundance of milk
for them. They are not impatient
| or cross and are most careful not
to inlure the little ones. This
means much, for mother may weigh
from 600 to 700 pounds and even
more.
The father is a massive fellow,
with fine length and depth of body
and a broad back The hogs used
for show purposes often weigh 1000
pounds.
The amount Of lard produced by
these hogs. and indeed a faithful
account of their habits, are recorded
for the Duroc- Jerseys have an as
sociation known as the Duroc Rec
ord Association.

despite the fact we are the richest

we lack the understanding of the

AS a consequence millions of Amer
