It is action that had to be taken | sometime unless the United States was to continue indefinitely support of Japan as a permanent national project, as Lindesay Parrott so aptly puts it in a dis- patch to this newspaper Yeporting on a tour of the occupied home islands. . No one in this country wants to see Japan re- stored to a position in which she could become a menace to the other countries of Asia or to the United States. But neither does the United States want to take on Javan as a “permanent national project,” even if our economy could indefinitely sustain such describing employment Publicity cpportunities in Alaska have result- ter P. Sharpe, former Territorial Commissioner of Labor, reported to- | day in Juneau. Sharpe is at present CHANCES ARE REMOTE Whoever is right in the present the ownership of Southeast Alaska's thing is certain: Alaska and all of its people are losing chance to gain an industry that would rank as one of the largest in the Territory It seems almost certain now that no legislation opening the lands to development this year will pass this session of Congress. Whatever could be called very remote. However, Territorial Senator Norman R. Walker something still may be of Ketchikan believes that salvaged. He is leaving this week to carry on the battle, representing Ketchikan and Petersburg A dispatch from Washington yesterday indicated | that the four Alaska Indians who position to the pulp legislation left having come to any compromise agreement unfortunate that the Indians stayed in Washington so long that they were unable to visit New York and Hollywood as planned. Alaska would have been better off if they had gone to Hollywood.

Miss Hill said she was going to France to establish a champagne agency, and considering the fact that her champagne bill at Ciro’s on one night alone was $7,000, her desire to import her own champagne is un- derstandable At about the same time Miss Hill departed for Paris, another asso- ciate of Sicgel's—Billy Wilkerson, publisher of the Hollywood Report- er—also left Hollywood for France Wilkerson was nominal owner and builder of the Flamingo Hotel, or- nate gambling casino in Las Vegas though the real owner was Siegel Siegel is reported to have run into financial difficulties with the Flamingo and to have been anx ious to borrow $1,500,000 shortly be- tore his death.

A gold key to her hc ound ir hi: pocket MARSHALL PLEADS e was It was not the entirely coincidence that day the Biz Three Marshall Plan Conference broke up in Paris, Secretary of State Mar- hall went up to the Capitol, plead- ed with the Senate almost on bend- ¢d knee to pass the Mundt Bill authorizing the State Department to conduct toreign propaganda For, while Marshall was pleading with the Senate not to muzzle the State Department’s “Voice Of Am- Russian prcpaganda was forth the Molotov version the Paris conference failed. That version was that the USA wanted to meddle with the sover- eignty of small European nations, wanted ® doininate Europe, wanted to tell each country who it could or could not have in power Actually the chiet disrupter, dom- inator and meddler in Europe has peen not the USA but the USSR— as witness Hungary, Bulgaria, Yu- goslavia Rumania and to some ex- tent Austria and Greece. Howcver, when people are told one thing and toid it often enough, they get to Lelieve it. And a large part of Eurcpe has come to believe the Soviet propaganda machine— imply because the State Depart- ment hasn't had sufficient means to give the other side of the s cn “rica b'anng of why yesterday's Senator Walker questions the actions of Alaska Dele- ans, three of them |least not repeated it in their latest deal. This con- | employed in Anchorage. i He said that hundreds of families | are arriving in Anchorage daily in | old rattle-trap autos and trailers and : i “without a cent in their pockets.” | = Sharpe criticized the statements be- | ing made cutside by Alaskan and | Federal officials concerning the op= { | portunities for jobs in Alaska which ! he said is responsible for the large linflux of jobless. He said that the | large number of transients without | funds alreadv in Anchorage and | elsewhere in Alaska imposes a ter- rific relief problem on the Territory. Meanwhile, in Seattle, Mrs. Jessie V. Krueger, Executive Director of | | the Travelers Aid Society, also criti- cized publicity which has brought a | large number of diappointed Alaska | job seekers to that citv who are now | a burden. The alternative is to hasten a decision | as to exactly what manufacturing she is to be al- lowed to keep, or to develop, and then to negotiate a peace treaty along these lines. As Mr. Parrott points out in his article, it is not only the economic future of Japan but the political and social future too that is in delicate balance, main- tained only by occupation. The best chance to secure the political and social gains that have been imposed on Japan Is to give them a favorable economic climate in which to grow. The sooner that is done the better it would be not only for the United States and the other Allied nations that helped defeat Japanese mili- tarism but for Japan's future as a peaceful, industrious and worth-while member of the society of nations. A Little Better ON PULP controversy over pulp forests, one chance there is for Washington (Cincinnati Enquirer) Several weeks ago the Department of Agriculture laid itself open to criticism by destroying more than 10,000 bushels of potatoes.
