A. and that the United States took pains to respect the independence of Latin Ameri- can states. But Stalin seemed un- convinced. STALIN'S BORDEK STATES Since then, evidence has in- creased that the Soviet considers (1) Latin America as a bloc which will always vote with the United States; (2) Smaller nations close to a big power as legitimate satel- lites of that power. For instance, when Winston Churchill visited Moscow last summer, Stalin was very frank in saying that Russia must have a series of states on her western border—Poland, Rumania, Finland —which were friendly to her. He made it plain that the Soviet would not tolerate for a minute a govern- ment in these bordering states which did not cooperate with the U.S. 8. R. Since then, Stalin has changed the government of Rumania when it suited him, has forced the Allies to accept the Polish Lublin Govern- ment, and has caused a government turnover in Finland. So the coldly realistic Stalin figures that the tactics he. em- ploys with his neighbors are em- ployed alsa by the U. S. A. with its neighbors; and if not, then it's this country’s fault. In fact, his only complaint to the Cuban Am- bassador was that the United States didn’t crack down on Ar- genina 16 SOVIET VOTES Stalin’s views regarding countries were expressed quite clearly at the closed-door session of the Dumbarton Oaks Confer- ence. Ambassador Gromyko pointed out that Russia, occupying one- sixth of the earth’s surface would have only one vote, while the British Commonwealth would have Stettinius replied that the United States, almost as large as Russia, rd only one vote and was not complaining Gromyko countered » with the reminder that the United tes dominated 20 Latin Ameri- republics and could swing 21 small can votes For a while, the Dumbarton Oaks parley was completely deadlocked. But, finally, Gromyko revealed that his government planned to organize various Alaskan Where did it come from? mayors and rtlett to introduce o do is to centralize a Russian change in the end. Dip- lomats also recall that for years the Soviet w: boycotted by the State Department and the world generally, and we are now paying the price. It is not easy to allay Soviet suspicions overnight. 1 BYRNES STEPS OUT | * For a long time, soft-spoken little Jimmy Byrnes, the President’s all- around handyman, has been want- ing to retire from office. He has been working all hours of the day and right, is tired, in poor health and in need of a physical check-up. | For a long time, also, the gentle- man from South Carolina has been keeping a book on his chief in the White House. It's not exactly a diary, but a record of things Jimmy was promised but never got. Prob- ably he'll never publish it. In fact, only’ his close friends know it exists. But those that do say it puts the chief in a bad position when it comes to keeping promises. First, there was the Vice-Presi- dency. Byrnes got the impression that FDR would welcome him as his running-mate. But, when he got to Chicago, he was instructed to “clear it with Sydney Hillman.” That was where the “clear it with Sydney” phrase, so effectively used by the Republicans, got started. Byrnes told it to Bernie Baruch, Baruch told it to Arthur Krock, and, on that score, Jimmy got his revenge, Later, Bytnes got what he thought was a definite promise of Secretary of State when Cordell Hull resigned. He even made plans regarding the appointment of his satff. But, at the last minute, Harry Hopkins persuaded the Presi- | dent that Ed Stettinius would be easier to manage, while Byrnes would insist on running things his own way. So Byrnes was out again. Jimmy fully expected to retire as |War Mobilizer just before Christ- mas. Then came the Belgian bulge counter-attack and it looked as if the war would be prolonged. So he stayed on. In January, Byrnes was restless again, didn't confer with the President except by telephone, though his office is in one wing of the White House. This coolness seemed healed when FDR took Byrnes to Yalta. Politically, it was one of the smartest things the President ever did. For Byrnes came back to give Senators a close- up, favorable picture of Stalin and what went on there, While he was away, however, Byrnes’ old South Carolina friend, Bernie Baruch, leveled a few barbs at him, implied he was ducking out of the Henry Wallace confirmation fight, also intimated he lacked the nerve to demand a tough man- power bill and crack down on other civilian war laxity.

NEW PRESIDENT " ALASKA AIRLINES 15 IN ANCHORAGE ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Special Correspondence) —Theodore N. Law has arrived in Anchorage to take over his new job as President of Alaska Airlines. Full of plans for the company’s future, he said that he had come to help in every way possible with the job there is to do. “With the cooperation of every- one in Alaska Airlines, I want to bring Alaskans the kind of air service they need and deserve. “Our biggest handicap has been the inability to procure equipment and replacement parts during the war. But this spring our two new DC-3's will be in service to be used commercially. These instrument ships will enable our flights to leave, on time. We will be able to deliver the goods on schedule. “For greater efficiency, we are making an effort to standardize equipment — engines in particular. Before long there will be Pratt & Whitney engines in all our ships. Eventually I hope to see us use only three makes of planes: the Douglas’ for long runs; a single engine model, such as the Norse- man or Bellanca, for use with pon-‘ toons and skis; and, in between these two, a medium-sized ~twin- engine ship. I do not believe that the ideal model for the latter has yet been built, but several com- A é - B Crossword Puzzle ACROSS 25 Crowd gut, 7, ring 22. Mountain in 1. Wondering fung 4.
