pany after a tonsilectomy which
virtually met him at the airport
on his return from a tour of
NC stores throughout Alaska and
Yukon Territory R M “Bus’ Boyd
cast his vote for the Yukon Es
kimos as the most capacious tea
consumers per cubic foot of ali
mental storage quarters.^
Tea tops the list of 10 or 12
commodities on which the na
tives stoke themselves during
the winter months according to
Boyd who is auditor for the Nor
them Commercial Company.
The trading posts operated
strictly on a barter basis by the
Northern Commercial Company
on the lower Yukon are the
smallest units of the Alaska
wide merchandise house. Busi-;
ness with the approximately!
three thouand natives of the sec
tion is carried on through ex
change of products or company
trading checks ranging from 25
cents to $5 in merchandise worth.
Tea-flour-sugar-heavy clothing
and firearms are the heavily de
manded articles among these na
tives described by Boyd as the
most primitive in Alaska. They
use virtually no canned goods
he said.

Ciano Italian Foreign Minister in
a lengthy explanation of Fascist
policy, declared Italy is staying
out of the European war by ag

Addressing the Chamber of

Germany and Italy agreed at the
Milan conference last May to
avoid raising any question which'
might arouse a new dispute in at
least three years and while both
are completing rearmament.
He added that "Fascist Italy
continues to follow the develop
ment of events with a vigilant1
spirit, ever ready if possible to
give once again her contribution
I to world peace but she equally
| is determined to protect with in
flexible firmness the interests of
her land, air and sea traffic not
to mention her prestige and fu
ture as a great power.”
