JAPAN OBJECTS TO U. S. ATTITUDE
Much the same as tho old incident which occurred when
one country objected to what was going on in the other coun
try, Japan does not like the attitude of the United States in
extending its commercial airlines from California across tho
Pacific Ocean, very nearly to the gates of Japan.
It is well remembered how the various nations of the
world remonstrated with Japan over her militaristic con
quest of Manchuria and the establishment of the Japanese
mandate of Manchukuo. It is also remembered how she in
formed the League of Nations that she was exercising her
due prerogative in protecting her own interests and that in
doing such she was not open to criticism; and then following
that up with her withdrawal from the League, and later her
stated intention of the repudiation of the Washington Naval
Treaty.
It seems that Japan is attempting to criticize the United
States for pursuing a commercial progressiveness, and is at
tempting to twist its open-handed conduct into underlying
motives of establishing a military position intended as a pow
erful factor in the control of the Pacific situation.
Japan’s natural intentions are toward a Japanese-con
trolled Pacific. She must expand somewhere and she is
probably prepared to go the limit if necessary to throw off
any restraining influences. A too close proximity of the
United States, for this reason, would not appeal to her.
However, The United States should not have to be the
one to explain her actions in the Pacific to Japan, consider
ing what has taken place during the past year in the rela
tions existing between the two nations.
ALASKA FARMERS ON THE DOLE
A paradox: The government plans shipping hundreds
of drought-stricken farmers and their families from the stat
es to Alaska. The first 100 families will be sent to the Mata
nuska Valley.
This in the face of the fact that many farmers are now
and have been for months, on the dole.
There are between 150 and 200 Alaska tanners now in
that fertile agricultural district. For years they have had
a difficult time to eek out an existence from the soil. And
failed! With the exception of one or two stores in Anchor
age, Matanuska farmers have been unable to sell their pro
duce there, principally, we are informed, on account of the

excessive freight rates.
And now they are going to send more farmers in to that,
area: bringing them thousands of miles at public expense
when there are millions of fertile lands Outside! And a mar
ket. Sending more farmers into Alaska creates more com
plexities for an already crowded labor market.
The only reason why Matanuska farmers have been ab
le to hold on is because of seasonal road and mine work and
disposing of some of their products to these camps.
There are plenty of farmers here now to care for all of
our needs. Again we say, mining first, then agriculture!—

FILM EXPLODES MYTH
THAT PICTURE STARS
LIVE LIFE OF EASE
The theatre-going public thinks of
movie stars as people living in paP
a i s and receiving large weekly
salary checks. That, however, is
only one side of the picture It re
quires prolonged effort and fre
quently continued strain to hold a
place on the honor roll of the screen
An Olympic champion does not go
through as intense and agonizing a
conditioning as did Jack Holt in
preparation for the Columbia pic
ture. "Master of Men,” showing
Friday at the Dream Theatre..
In this feature, Mr . Holt starts
life as the foreman of a steel mill .
The steel mill we see on the screen
i not the master craftsman of the
scenic designer The sequences
were taken in a steel mill during
the process of smelting the ore and
converting it into useful metal Do
you know how hot it is in a steel
mill? It is much too warm for an
individual to endure for any length
of time unless he is hardened to it.
Fur six weeks Jack Holt appeared
daily at the mill and worked next
to the furnace so that he would h*
in condition. He slowly became ac
re turned to the terrific heat, and
when the scenes were finally taken
he did not spoil the sequences by
succumbing to the abnormal work
ing conditions. Jack had more to
do than become accustomed to the
heat He had to learn how to oper
ate the steel mill machinery and
when to leap aside as the molten
metal comes rushing out from the
furnace into the molds.. It is not
knowledge that can be acquired in
a day It took Jack Holt, master
1 sportsman though ho is. six weeks
to acquire sufficient knowledge and
training to act the part of the fore
man in “Master of Men "
KENNECOTT IS PLANNING ALL
COPPER HOUSES
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C„ — The Ken
necott Copper Corporation is adver
tising a “copper house". In this type
of residence the roof with be copp
er, the siding copper and all the
piping also made of copper. Insul
ation is obtained by glass fiber. In
the event that plaster is used, as
in most residence construction it is
said that nothing would be burnable
in the house except the floors and
even the floors might be made of
some non burnable material. It is
claimed by the promoters of this ty
pe of construction that an ordinary
residence can be completed at not
more than 70 percent of the cost
of the usual frame construction. Ad
ditional good qualities about the
copper house are that it will last a
krouple of hundred years at least,
needs no paint and that if the own
er wishes to tear it down he can
get at least $500 at present prices
of copper in the building. It is plan
ned that the frame of such building
will be made of steel. One of this
type of houses is now under con
struction near Arlington and anoth
er and larger one, is to be built in
Washington.
