British Proposal
(By The Associated Press)
Undated, Dec. 12, —The
tide of rebellion surged ag
ainst the Franco-British
proposals for peace between
Italy and Ethiopia. Many
states represented on the;
League’s sanction commit
tee took a firm stand again
st major concessions to It-!
aly, pointing to the price
of such a procedure—the im
pairment of Ethiopia’s sov
ereignty, or the weakening
of the League covenant.
Unconfirmed reports, cir
culated in London, said that
King George had interven
ed personally with the gov
ernment to force through
a peace plan particularly
allying with Russia and
Turkey, who are expected
to combat openly any plan
for the granting of addition
al concessions to Italy and
the dismemberment of Eth
iopia.
Some delegates saw in
the program, the begin
nings of a move to establish
openly a definite dominion
of great powers, perhaps in
the form of a four-power
pact, with Germany to join
France, Great Britain and
Italy.

Fairbanks, Dec. 12, —
The Central Alaska Trans
port Company received in
formation last night from
Dawson that its small plane
flown by pilot William Lav
Ery, had been destroyed at
the Cassiar roadhouse, by

the motor.
One of the planes stranded
in the Cassiar has been re

later. The repairing on
another is progressing de

cluded their annual Round

The number of reindeer
killed was 319 and all own

portion in, accordance to
their ownership. The bal

the regular dealers in
Nome.
One thing that was very
remarkable was the high
quality of the meat. The
steers killed were in very
fine condition, which will
assure Nomeites this win

deer meat.
It was interesting to wit
ness the process of slaugh
tering and how efficiently
it was done, the carcasses
vvere clean and neatly trim
med.
This speaks well for the
facilities at Fort Davis. The
devices are as uptodate as
possible, considering the
local conditions.
The board of directors has
reset the price at which it
is expected all dealers and
owners will sell meat at the
following prices: 15c per
pound by the whole carcags
or 16 cents per pound by
the half carcass front quar

(By The Associated Press)
London, Dec. 12, —Jap
an’s demand for equality
in naval strength, was re
jected by the naval confer
ence today, including the
four other great naval pow
ers and British dominions.
The meeting broke up at
noon with the Japanese
delegates leaving hastily to
submit certain questions to
Tokyo.
Another meeting is sched
uled for tomorrow.
The United States object
ed to Japan’s demand, be
cause the adoption of such
a plan would cause an en
ormous increase in con
struction rather than a de
crease.
The Nipponese proposal
did not take into account
the different naval needs
of the powers and the plan
would upset the equilib
rium established by former
treaties.
