Wide publicity for this Pacific Yu

; orders for merchandise filled, a group
l of Fort Yukon business men wired
Delegate Dimond asking him to pre
vail upon the Postoflice Department

with the Department and a couple of
days later an order was issued for

terior in connection with McKinley
Park affairs.
A few weeks ago Delegate D-imond
was officially advised that the Na
tional Recovery Act would apply to
Alaska.
Now he is advised there is consider
able doubt on the part of the Reeov-,
ery Administration as to the form
and extent the act should cover the
territories of Alaska and Hawaii and
the insular possessions because of
conditions differing from those in
continental United States.
In view of this surprising change
in administrative intent, Delegate Di
mond has wired Governor Troy of this
new development and has requested
an expression of opinion from all
parts of the Territory so that the
views of Alaskans may be presented
immediately to the Recovery Admin
istration. The suggestion has been
made that because of the distance of;
the Territory from the United States,
a fact which has important bearing
on both labor' and capital, separate
codes for Alaska industries might be
drawn. Again, the national codes
might be adopted with modifications
for Alaska. (J|r perhaps the people
of the Territory might desire to have
the national codes put into effect
without any changes. The Delegate
will follow the iwshes of the major
ity. The Recovery Administration
will, of course, have the final decision.
Harry F. Morton, Anchorage attor
ney, has arrived in Washington to
make his home. His family will join,
him within the next few weeks. . Mr..
Morton has accepted a position in the
legal department of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue.

RECOGNITION OF RUSSIA.
CERTAIN TO AID TRADEj
WASHINGTON.—Forthcoming rec
ognition of Russia by the United.
States eclipses international. disarm
ament issues, Cuban troubles and war
debt discussions insofar as concerns
official Washington and ranks, in im
portance with the National Recovery
Administration’s program as a major
subject of conversation..
Prospective Russian trade is viewed,
as a promising stimulation to copper,
cotton, pork and machinery busi
nesses.
Electrical and. agricultural enter
prises in .tha. United States will be
influenced. immediately by the re
sumption of diplomatic, relations with
Russia.
M. M. Litjuaoff, who was the soviet
commiaSoner at the Internatonal Eco
nomc Conference n London last sum
mer, will travel incognito from Rus
sia to the United States to discuss
recognition with President Roosevelt.
The. time of his departure from Mos
cia and his route to the United.
States are not expected to be made
puhlic.
At the London Conference, Litvi
nof’s statement that Russia was a po
tential customer for one billion dol
ors' worth of raw material and ma
chinery challenged the attention of
American farmers who are looking
for markets and for American man
ufacturers who are short on.orders.
BERLIN.—German officials were
.rather flabbergasted by the letter of
/President Roosevelt to soviet officials
/Saturday suggesting the ending of
'“abnormal relations” between Russia
.and the United States and clearing
■•the way for recognition of the former
by the latter.
* Rapproachment of Russia and the
.‘United States comes at the very mo
jment when Germany’s relations with
^Russia are the worst in years because
pf the soviets’ communistic principles. |

ial relations with Russia back to nor
mal,” a high German official declared
