RESTORING WORLD TRADE In the study just issued by the Department of Commerce, “The United States in the World Economy,” there are a number of debatable contentions, but the main conclusion is a thoroughly sound one. This is that the United States, after the war, must resume investment of capital abroad and prepare now to buy more goods from other countries by prosecuting the reciprocal trade agreements program vigorously, with more emphasis on reduction of tariffs by this country than on concessions obtained from others. The strength of the Hull reciprocal trade agree- ments program that by emphasizing the tariff concessions that we got from other countries it made tariff reduction politically acceptable. The weakness of the program was tha} to most minds it conveyed the implication that a reduction of our town tariffs was essentially a favor to other countries, granted at our own .expense, and that such ‘a favor was only to be justified by the favors granted to us by other countries in return. But the reduction of our own tariffs is, in fact, in the first instance a favor to our own consumers, who are able to obtain cheaper goods. Ultimately it is a favor to our whole national economy, because it permits the great volume of world trade— in the absence of which the prosperity of any single * | country is certain to be lmited The Problem of Unity (New York Times) 1f North Africa and Italy have presented difficult political problems to the United Nations forces, what of Yugoslavia and Greece? In Yugoslavia there has long been open hostility between the guerrillas of Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch and the Partisans of Gen Josip Broz, more commonly known as Tito. In Greece, as C. L. Sulzberger states in a dispatch to this newspaper, ‘active warfare between small Greek bands is raging across the central portion of the country from the towering Pindus range to Thessaly and the south.” Here there are no less than three groups, two of which are now fighting each other to the neglect of the outside enemy, while the third looks on. The Allies have done their best to be impartial, but if an Allied army were actually landed in Greece some decision would obviously have to be made. It is the nature of this decision that is the problem. To the extent that the United States enters into it two broad lines of policy-are clearly indicated: First, that we do ‘what we can to make possible a democratic expression of opinion regarding the future government of each country; second, that we use what power and influence we have to prevent in any country the rise of a new fascism or nazism under another name. We have to assume that no democratic vote will result in fascism or naz ‘We also have to assume that fascism or nazism not and cannot be a matter of purely domestic concern in any coun- try, since either of these systems by its very nature threatens the world’s peace. We are intervening in political positions to destroy the forms of government which made intervention necessary, then we must take them The Germans have made the mosi of the fact that one faction in Yugoslavia and one in Greece seem to have Russian support. It will be one of the | tasks of the Moscow conference to do all that can be done to remove this possible source of disunity, not only in Yugoslavia and Greece but in every country {that has been under the Nazi heel. Civil war in Europe, now and after Hitler is overthrown, can be avoided only by agreement shared by Russia, Britain and the United States—and, it is to be hoped, other members of the, United Nations—as to what principles shall be followed in dealing with liberated territories. No country, big or little, can profit by civil war. We will have had all the war civilization can stand. We have to have faith that the Moscow conferees will put this fact first.

There is a sign presag- ing revival of many old-time stand- ards «of dress and manners. After |much wearing of uniforms, women in peacetime will return to pictures- que fashions and dignified sociall| lusages. Materialistic ideas will be subordinated to lofty aspirations by | men and women who will mould public opinion under Aquarian | trends.

James G. Steese, President, Its increased resources permitted a muech greater amount of work to be done and work was distributed over a wider area than ever before. A snow storm at Skagway the previous night did much damage, ac- cording to reports which reached here, The telephone and light system was down indefinitely. The Juneau Chapter, American Red Cross, lead all the chapters of the Pacific Division in the quota of its subscriptions to the Japanese Relief Earthquake Fund, according to a telegram received here from division headquarters at San Francisco. The total subscriptions from the local chapter amounted to $2,774.31, more than five times its allotted quota. In a proclamation issued this day, Mayor I. Goldstein called on all local residents to aid in putting over the Seventh Annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross which started the following week. The cam- paign of the local chapter was to be directed by W. S. Pullen as Man- ager, who had appointed J. L. Gray and J. W. Kehoe as captains of the local drive. Mrs. Robert Simpson, who attended the American Legion Auxiliary convention in San Francisco, was returning home on the Alameda. E.
