COMMITTEE IS
INQUIRING ALL
ABOUT ARMS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—The Sen
ate Munitions Investigations Commi
ttee said they had new evidence
that American arms manufacturers
had brushed aside treaties and em
bargoes, to ship implements of war
into Germany and China.
Committee members asserted that
the evidence revealed a flagrant vio
lation of the spirit of the Versailles
Treaty, in sale of arms to Germany.
The re-arming of the Reich, they
added, was used as a lever to bring
the n^ilitary appropriations of other
European countries up above their
low levels.
The documents also show, they
said, that American manufacturers
had paid little heed to the American
embargo on shipments of arms to
China. The/ then used these sales,
it was alleged to sell more products
to Japan.

FORMER PRESIDENT
TAKES SLAM SENATE
ARMS INVESTIGATION
(By The Associated Press)
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 6—The responsibility for the
failure of the 1925 Geneva Convention to control the inter
national shipment of arms, was placed on the United States
Senate, by former President Herbert Hoover and his arm
conference which figured in the munitions investigations
and which called for a prior international convention on
arms in general in Europe.
The present investigation is called for the purpose of
giving a hearing on the manufacturers views as to the met
hods of discrimination between sporting arms and war arms.
Hoover said that the failure of the Senate in regards to the
Geneva Arms Conference had the effect of nullifying the
work done to curb the manufacture of munitions._
UNITED STATES STANDS
SQUARELY FOR NAVAL
TREATIES U S. POLICY
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, Dec. 6—In the first public statement of the
United States policy, since the tri-power naval conference
began, Norman H. Davis, U. S. Ambassador at large, said
that the abandonment of the Washington and London Naval
Treaties “would lead to international suspicion and costly
competition with no real security advantage to any coun
try.”
The statement is regarded as a warning to Japan and
was made before the American Correspondents Association
at a luncheon held here today. Davis declared:
“The American Government stands for the continuance
of the principals of these two treaties.” He also announced
for the first time, that President Roosevelt had proposed “a
substantial all-around reduction in naval armaments.”
FEDERAL BUILDING FOR
NOME NOW RECEIVING
MUCH CONSIDERATION
Word-received by N. Lester Troast,
Architect for the Office of Indian
Affairs, regarding the proposed con
struction of a new Federal Building
in Nome, carries a wealth of good
cheer and confidence to this city.
Mr. Troast was especially directed
to furnish the government authori
ties in Washington, D. C., with data
and information necessary in the
planning of a new federal structure.
Various suggestions and estimates
regarding building and other details
of construction have already been
sent in by Mr. Troast and the au
thorities in Washington have now
notified that certain other informa
tion regarding particular details of
ground and engineering data are
desired.
Word from the Director of Engin
eering of the Public Works Admin
istration stated that it was the ap
parent intention of the Treasury
Department to construct a two I
story federal building in Nome next
spring occupying the Federal block.
Plans and estimates on a proposed
building already sent in have re
ceived very favorable consideration.
The type of two story building re
ferred to would be, according to
the plans about 100 feet long by 135
feet wide, housing all the federal
agencies of the Second Division, of
which Nome is the headquarters. It
was estimated that the cost would
be about $275,000 with an additional
$50,000.00 for engineering. These
figures were also declared to be re
ceiving the favorable consideration
of the authorities. The estimates
sent into Washington were all on
concrete construction, but todate no
definite report has been made pub
lic as to whether the building will
be concrete or frame. However,
efforts for a concrete construction
are being pushed enthuiastically.
Many other cities in Alaska have
concrete structures which denote
progress and foresight. Why should
n’t Nome? With about fifteen fed
eral agencies having their offices in
Nome, serving as the headquarters
for the Second Judicial Division of
this Territory, a permanent, well
constructed concrete building would
be a necessity that would solve
many of the building problems of
,this locality.
Included in the federal depart
ments having offices in Nome are
the following agencies, the names
of which were sent into Washing
ton, when plans were first mention
ed for the construction of a new
federal building: The U. S District
Court and Federal Judge, the U. S.
District Attorney, U. S. Marshal, U.
S. Clerk of the District Court, U. S.
Jail, Postoffice, U. S, Reindeer Ser
vice, U. S. Commissioner, Alaska
Road Commission, U. S. Customs,
U. S. Coast Guard, U. S.,, Weather
Bureau, U. S. Signal Corps, Inspec
tor Department of Aeronautics, Fed
eral Emergency Relief Administra
tion, Territorial Office. Included in
some of the departments are vari
ous other details and positions
which are taken care of.
; This list makes an imposing array
| of federal administration in Alas
ka. The plan as introduced would
include offices in the Federal Build
ing for these agencies, together
with vaults and other necessary of
fice measures.*
As the plans and estimates are
still in a preliminary stage, a con
clusive report is not as yet avail
able, nor is it entirely definite that
such plans have been settled. How
ever, the indications are so strongly
favorable that subsequent approval
and “earmarking” will undoubtedly
follow soon.
