• NKW YORK, Nor., 24— One of the
important questions to be considered
by the Assembly of the League vf
Nations at its first meting, at Geneva,
will be the preparations required to
enable the League to use, if necessity
arises, the weapon of international
economic and financial blockade con
templated in Article XVI of the Cove
nant.
memorandum by Sir Eric Drum
mond, the Secretary General, now be
ing distributed to the members of the
League, and received here by the
League to Enforce Peace shows that
this question will come before the As
sembly, on the recommendation of the
League Council in the form of a pro
posal to appoint a body to be known as
the Internationl Blockade Commissi'n.
The Secretary-General suggests that
this commission consit of representa
tives nominated by the countries en
titled to permanent membership in
the Councij, with the addition of re
presentatives of four other members
of the League selected by the Assem
bly, for the purpose of studying the
problem and settling the general plan
of action, the organization of the m -re
permanent machinery required and the
principles on which it should work.
This question is of peculiar in. • •
est to the United States, because one
of the first problems such a commis
sion would consider promises tr* he
the method of rendering a blocks le ef
fective against states which a-** nut
members of the League. In a report
adopted by the Council of the League
at the San Sebastian meeting in Aug
v *, M. Tittom, tne Italian represent
lAt. stated: ‘ft sh i*j be clea* ;bui
t’:e states meml»c/« of the League • r
Xations who de»*!~. tne blockade h:*v
Ihr right to rj u ?.* : effective iga*.**'
states in^v nfc sc who are n‘»t
numbers of the .'je&ywt but the/ hare
Pv»: the right to for. e the states .voo
d not form pa t f i.u* League *,»* de
clare the blockade '.hcrnpelves.’
Article XVI provides that, should
any member of the league resort to
war in disregard of its covenants all
the other members shall “undarlike
immediately to subject it to the sever
ance of all trade or financial relations
and the prevention of all financial
commercial or personal intercourse be
tween the nationals of the covenant—
breaking state and the nationals of
any other state whether a member of
the League or not" and that the mem
bers shall mutually support one an
other in the financial and economic j
measures taken under this article.
“The use of this weapon,” says the
Secretary-General, “is in certain cir
cumstances a specific duty imposed by
Article XVI. This duty cannot be ef
fectively earned out without .great
Idss of time and efficiency unless
there has been considr&ble previous
preparation before the time at which
attjon is required.
“Situations might well arise in
which the knowledge that the weapon
s ready for use would have a very
salutary effect Many people think
that the League is founded more upon
r* * * .
good intentions than upon a cool con
sideration of the 8tern realities of in
teraational trouble. It ft, therefore, de
aireable on general grounds that while
the first meetings of the Council and
the Assembly should give the world
J
tfie positive hope of removin^misun^
derstanding and promoting internat
ional cooperation, they should also
show quite clearly that the members
of the League as a whole are determ
ined, if necessity arises, to enforce
their will by effective action on any
particular country which in the cir
cumntances contemplated by the cov
enant defies the general verdict of the
world.”
The memorandum calls attention to
one important difference between the
two forms of pressure (economic and
military) which the League may use,
as follows: “Where.a member of the
league restoits to war in disregard of
specified covenants, all other memb
ers ot the League are by the covenant
itself specifically obliged to apply the
economic weapon. They are not simil
arly obliged to use their military or
naval forces. In the latter case, the
Article ()£vi) only provides that it
shall be the duty of the Council in such
cases to recommend to the seve ral
governments concerned what effective
military or naval forces they shall se
verally contribute.”
The Secretary-General is of the op
inion that the Article clearly contemp
lates that, so far as possible, “the re
sponsibility for enforcing economic
pressure shall be decentralized, I.E., a
primary responsibility rests upon each
government to take action as far as
its own nationals and own national
machine ry are concerned, arrange
ments being made by each of them se
parately and not by a single interna
tional authority.”
At the same time, he concludes that
h central coordinating authority will
be itquired if the weapon of economic
pi essure is to be efficiently used.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov., 24— A
trade mission composed of several San
Francisco merchants and their wives,
similiar to those that have gone from
other parts of the country, will leave
January 8 on a visit to Mexico. The
proposed party, which will number
about 100, is sponsored by the foreign
trades committee of the chamber of
commerce. The so-called visits are
aimed at establishing friendly trade
and social relations between Mexico
and the United States. The trip will
take about thr«e weeks.

Consider the wisdom and judgement
oi* the Homc'-Spent-Dollar.
In its pepful community-inspiring
career it always plays safe. Its busi
ness transactions are backed by guar
entees. Advertised goods are guaran
teed goods. The merchants of Seward
do not advertise their wares unless
they are good goods. It dosen’t pay to
advertise merchandise that is not
good. And it is the home merchant
who advertises his goods that attracts
the dollar — makes it the home spent
dollar. He in turn directs the dollar
back to guaranteed lirms— the ad
vertising firm. Follow the trail of the
home spent dollar for two weeks and
you will find that it enters the doors
of the advertised firms. The jingle of
home spent dollars is a merry tune— >
.f we all play it together— and busi- I
ness will hum to that tune, too. !

KETCHIKAN, Nov., 23— The gas
boat U. S. Fisheries No. 5, the first j
boat to be constructed for the federal
government in Ketchikan, has been
launched. It is of novel construction,
being intended for use as an ice-break
er during the winter months at the;
government fish hatchery at Lake Me- (
Donald. The lower part of the hull is j
sheeted with iron barb to resist ice. i
The boat is 28 feet long. The for

ALASKA REINDEER
More than 6,000 reindeer carcasses
will be available for shipment to
American markets through Seattle
next year, breaking all previous rec
ords in this new Alaskan industry,
according to announcement made by
Carl J. Lomen, - secretary-treasurer
of Loman & Co., of Nome, who is now
in this city prepratory to an East
ern trip to organize distributing
agencies for reindeer meat.
Lomen & Co., backed by Jafet
%
Lindeberg and other wealthy inter
ests, ranks in the reindeer industry
with the same prominence as Swift
& Co. in America’s domestic meat
business. Lomen & Co., with herds of
35,000 reindeer, could only ship 1,600
carcasses this year because of re
stricted transportation. The plans of
th • con [Vmy in developing the rein
dr »r hu ;in ?s into, an Alaskan indus
try second only to mining were re
vealed yesterday by Mr. Lomen at the
Frye Hotel.
Four Cold Storage Plants
t
‘ This has been an epochal year in
reindeer developments/’ he announc
ed. “We have just completed two
cold storage plants at Egavik and
Golovin, near Nome, which , with our
other two plants, will afford cold
storage facilities for approximately
15,000 carcasses every year. In the
near future it is suposed to establish
a chain of these plants on the Alaskan
i .
coast to butcher and freeze rein
deer meat, with,a special refrigerator
steamer of enlarged capacity trans
porting this meat to Seattle for dis
tribution. If we can get the trans
portation, 11,000 carcasses will be
shipped in 1921.”
IiOrnei! & Co., at resent have dis
tributing agencies at Seattle and Min
neapolis and under present condi
tions it Qosts $140 a ton to ship to
Minneapolis from Alaska. There is
now an active demand for reindeer
meat from New York, Oklahoma , San
Francisco. Minneapolis and othu
cities, while one New York concern
has asked for the privilege of export
ing the meat to European markets,
reported Mr. Lomen.
Million in Ten Years.
“In ten years it is expected that
Alaska’s grazing landswill be pop
ulated by 1,000,000 reindeer,” he said.
“In twenty years we expect Alaska
will have all the deer it can handle.
One-third of the herds will be avail
able for market every year. The herds
double every three years, allowing 10
per cent for market use.”
This season for the first time in
history reindeer were purchased from
Eskimos on St Laurence Island in
tiering Sea and shipped to the main
land for market purposes. \ new
herd was also established at Nunivak,
a bleak island in Bering Sea, to be!
propagated for commercial purposes !
by Eskimos. The task of shipping a
herd of 197 deer from Nome to this
island was accomplished by the
steamer Ketchikan. This steamer
after five days, succeeded in lower- ,
ing the animals to water off the j
island and swimming them to sl\pre. j
The presence of reindeer on this i
island will prevent starvation among
300 Eskimo inhabitants should the
native food supply become exhaust* 1
