They saw in the ten newly created Uni- ted Nations, with its provisions for an international police force, a “threat” to the traditional auton- omy of the Weastern Hemisphere. Since then, however, the inter- national picture has changed rad- ically. The United States and So- viet Russia, cordial allies in 1945, are now on the verge of formal enmity. Today, the danger of be- ing dragged into another war— petween the USA and the USSR— “For Wales Lad bers who made the trip, said he believes the group will recommend | prempt enactment of legislation | next year to build airfields at An- | chorage and Fairbanks. Such a bill already has been ap- proved by the c mittee, but the House itself has neof acted on it It contemplates spending $13,000,- 000 for bases at the two strategic Alaskan cities. While the Army has large land- ing fields at both Anchorage and Fairbanks, Hall said, there are not adequate separate facilities for the large commercial planes which al-| iready are making daily flights to | and from Alaska. | Hall said the Army has large concentrations of long-range bomb- ers staticned in Alaska and is anx- ifous to have exclusive use of its own landing fields. - e i Lofs of Firsis il; ;me " Is Asked for Diamond Knol Admiralty Action to Be Fil- }1:;:1‘ seen anything like that ed by Alaska S'eam_ | Glenn, whose home is in Wales, Shlp company Alaska, overlooking the Eering Sea, had never seen an elevator A |before, either.

At least four of these new governments—Colombia, Boh-‘ Venezuela and Haiti—repre- in com- via, sent elements that were plete opposition to their cessors. Then, too, there is a changed economic picture. With post-war inflation and dollar shortage pla- guing the national economy of al- most every Latin-American r public, this aspect of continental affairs is really their major “se- curity” problem. That is what they would prefer to talk about. However, this will not appear on the Rio agenda. Neither will the most realistic “peace” issue of the moment—solution of the bloody Paraguayan civil war, now cruelly laying waste that litttle South American country which has not yet recovered from the years' Dillon, Reed-financed war with Bolivia. Added to all the foregoing fact- ors is the decision to leave strict- 1y military phases of the defense treaty « for the Bogota Conference | next January. This just about cancelled every reason for holding the Rio reunion at all. Most Lat- in Americans, therefore, are clined to regard the Rio Confer- ence as an._ “expensive gesture” arguing’ that ' the sole topic to be dealt with there might as well have been added to the Bogotaj agenda.
