GERMANY TO BUILD SMALL
PILL BOX FORTIFICATIONS AT
STRATEGIC POINTS IN RHINE
Signers Apparent !n Hiller's Actions
(By The Associated Press')
Berlin, March 14 — Mo
mentary silence greeted
the council’s invitation to
participate in the Rhine
land problems, as the Reich
uncovered a scheme today,
for fhe fortifying of the
area with a chain of pill
boxes.
Herr Hitler, speaking at
Munich tonight, is expect
ed to clarify Germany’s
stand.
Berlin, March 14 — The
Deutsche Dipomatische
Korrespondent, the mouth
piece of the German for
eign office, said today in a
special announcement that
Germny will build pill box
fortifications at strategic
points in the Rhineland, de
militarzed until German
troops re-occupied the terri
tory last Saturday.i
The announcement said
they would be unlike the
French fortifications. Ger
many’s will be small and
disconnected — “Germany
cannot afford to spend eight
billion francs as France
has” — said the announce
ment, in pointing out
French superior security.
Apparent disregard of
threatening attitudes of
France, Belguim, Soviet
Russia and England, is ap
parent in Hitler’s drastic
movements during the past
week. His utter lack of
consideration to the pro
tests and admonitions of
other Locarno powers, has
turned the glaring eye of
criticism on him, as a dis
rupting factor in Europe
today.

Nomeites Say
The Kenny Bill
is Ridiculous
Ip response to a special
request from the Associat
ed Press, for comments by
well-known Alaskans,
Nomeites and others who
are prominent in affairs of
the Territory. The Nugget
secured various statements
from prominent people of
the city regarding the bill
and proposal of Represent
ative Kenny of New Jer
sey introduced in the na
tional congress Thursday,
to establish penal colonies
on the Aleutian Islands,
and following their impris
onment, to make Alaska pio
neers of them.
Here follows some of the
statements in which The
Nugget is heartily in ac
cord:
Thos. D. Jensen, vice
President of the N. W. Al
aska Chamber of Commer
ce says: “Preposterous.”
M. J. Walsh, City Clerk
of Nome says: “Ridiculous”
City Engineer Robert
Lyle says: “Would be a Col
ossal Blunder.”
Councilman Alvin Polet
says: “Without a careful
consideration of the plan,
my reaction to this move
would be a decidedly neg
ative one.”
Councilman Andrew Sa
ther: “I have seen too much
intermarriage between the
white and Eskimos in the
Second Division, and stren
uously object to Represent
ative Kenny’s bill, which in
time, would tend to breed
convicts with Indians, with
the resulting destruction of
the Indian Race.”
Councilman Seidenverg:
“As a citizen of Alaska and
a business man of Nome, I
would be very much oppos
ed to the establishment of
penal institutions of this
character in Alaska. A
principal argument against
such a move would be that
it would build up a popu
lation of jailbiras who
would not make good Alas
kan citizens.”

of the Pioneers of Alaska
