‘ORDERS POLICE DE fi THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEW. ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXIV.. NO. 10,147 s JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1945 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS MacARTHUR, RUSSIANS INSPLITNOW Occupation of Japanese Home Islands Causes Rife, Orient Affairs | SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.—Am- erican Broadeasting Company cor- respondent Larry Tighe reported today from Tokyo that General MacArthur and the Russians had| disagreed over which of the Japa-| nese home islands the Soviet Iorces‘ would occupy, and that as a result | the Russians will not participate in the occupation at all. Furthermore, Tighe said, Mac- Arthur reportedly told the U. S.| State Department yesterday that if he were not let alone and if Rus- sia was allowed any further par- ticipation in occupation affairs, he would resign. “First the Russians wanted to| bring an army over here,” the cor-/ respondent stated “MacArthur said no. He would permit them to bring cne division. But they insisted that they be allowed to occupy Hok- kaido, northernmost of the main islands. MacArthur again said no, with the implications that if the Russians ever got into Hokkaido they’d never be dislodged. MacArthur offered instead to let the Russians in southernmost Kyu- shu, which would put American| troops between the (Russian) home- jand and the occupying force. Then the Russians said no. ~MacArthur's answer to that amounted to ‘All right, don't send an ocgupation force; we don't need it anyway'.' - - The Washington Merry - Go- Round By DRFW PEARSON WASHINGTON — This columnist has now obtained a transcript of the first secret debates inside the United Nations Preparatory Com- | mission regarding the future capi- tal of the United Nations. The document shows how mil- lions of people throughout the world are looking to the U. S. A. for leadership in keeping the peace. The sessions opened at the Church House, Dean's Yard, West- minster, next to the historic West- minster Abbey. Inscrutable Soviet Ambassador Andrei Gromyko was in the chair. Dr. Victor Chi-tsai Hoo, the Chinese delegate, opened the discussion with a blunt attack on puiting UNO headquarters in tion to keep a firm hold on the I'posal for negotiation and, if Geneva. | “We believe that the memory of | the seat where all attempts to! maintain peace have failed would ! influence the whole atmosphere of | the organization,” Dr. Hoo said “The ‘spirit of Geneva,” he| maintained, “became almost similar | to the ‘spirit of Munich’” | French Delegate Rene Massigli| vigorously opposed the Chinese, | arguing that placing the seat in | Europe would inspire the' European nations to keep the peace. Mas-| sigli also suggested Denmark or Austria as alternatives to Geneva. At this point, Australia’s Ex- ternal Minister Herbert Evatt sprang to his feet.

What Is Wanted The delegate said there was room for farmers, a few professional men, such as doctors and dentists, and urgent need for additional small industries. He predicted that gold mining, closed during the war, would reopen with a surge. He said there was urgent need for lodges and camps and said the Territory's tourist business would grow fast as soon as travel to the Territory is available Bartlett and Gov. ing, who is in Washington, have asked the President to have the government make plans for aiding veterans to settle in Alaska.

Mining Prospects Most Alaska mining is large- scale operations, but the individual prospector has mnot entirely "disap- peared from the Territory. Another business is that of fur farming and the Territory yields more than $2,000,000 worth of furs annually. A fur farm may be leased from the government for 10 years at an annual rental of 1 per cent of the gross returns from fur sales. The Territory comprises nearly 600,000 square miles, is twice as big as Texas, and climatically, a settler could take his choice.
