JUNEAU. —Proof that Alaska
Indians, before the advent of the
white man, operated their financ-1
es strictly on a copper standard
is shown in a new exhibit which

PRESIDENT FAVORABLE TO
ANTI-STRIKE LEGISLATION
WASHINGTON, Nov. — The,
President has told Congress to
start writing its own ticket on
strike curbing legislation. The
bill generally agreed upon at the
White House wo'uld outlaw de
fense industry strikes until all
avenues of negotiation, concilia
tion and mediation had been ex
hausted. It also would contain a
drastic provision authorizing the1
*»* President to authorize compul
sory arbitration in any individ
ual dispute that could not be set
tied by other means.
Members of the House labor
commttee expressed the opinion
that the bill would be sent to
the House floor in almost the
same form in which is has gen
erally been agreed upon now.
They said some penalty pro
visions probably would be writ
ten into the measure but they
emphasized that these penalties
were necessary for enforcement. |

Envoy Kurusu
To Be Japan’s
Last Offer
•
TOKYO — The Tokyo news
paper Nichi Nichi said in its is
sue recently that the trip of Sa
burn Kurusu to the United Stat
es should be considered Japan's
absolutely final effort toward
solving the Pacific crisis.
The paper said that the events
of the next few days will have
utmost s:gnificance.
Warned Nichi Nichi: "The Unit
ed States should note the iron de
termination of Japan’s hundred
million people. Despite our na
tions earnest desire and efforts
for peace, the situation between
the two countries does not allow
optimism if the United States per
sists in the attitude she has here
tofore taken.
Praise for President
Nichi Nichi praised President
Roosevelt for expressing sincere
hopes for Pacific peace, and for
postponing his Thanksgiving trip
to Warm Springs, Ga., to meet
Kurusu. However, Nichi Nichi
said that Japan will not be turn
ed from her objective of estab
lishing the East Asia prosperity
sphere and ending the Chinese
war. Declared the newspaper:
“We must show unshakeable
determination in overcoming the
present national crisis.”
The Japanese journal asserted
that many intelligent Americans
such as Robert Hutchins, presi
dent of the University of Chic
ago, fail to understand why a
crisis should exist in the Pacific
when neither country is threaten
ing each other’s territory or in
terests.
Deemed Undemocratic
Nichi Nichi declared that if the
United States is really aiding
Britain and Chungking under the
name of democracy, Americans
should realize that these two gov
ernments are most undemocratic
of all countries; especially Brit
ain, which is suppressing the
spirit of democracy in virtually
every colony or dominion under
her control.
If the people of the United
States continue to insist on sup
porting their leaders with m:s
guided ideas, and are willing to
risk a clash with Japan, the
Tokyo paper concluded they will
find the Japanese people more
than prepared to meet any chal
lenge.
