HELP THE RED CROSS WORK The Juneau Chapter of the American Red Oross opens its annual fund solicitation campaign today to President | newspapers, such as Ce Soir in Paris, have remarked editorially that the publication could be regarded as nothing except a hostile act by the Americans against the Soviet Union. Both charges are ridiculous, of course. It may be argued that the publication of these sensational documents does not help at this time, when Ameri- can-Soviet relations are anything but good. Evidently the British and American authorities who sanctioned the release felt otherwise, else they would not have done so As for the alleged spuriousness of the documents, | there is too much secondary evidence available to ! | support their authenticity. One needs only to read the | several books on the German underground movement during the war to be able to piece together an account of Nazi-Soviet negotiations easily to be substantiated | by the official documents. ; { How far such negotiations can have been on'the | level, in view of the notorious and habitual disregard for agreements by the two contracting parties, is an- | other question. Subsequent events show that the nonaggression pact of 1039 between Germany and | Russia was founded on mutual fear and distrust. And it will be a long time, perhaps, before the world | knows for certain who executed the first double-cross, | | Hitler or Stalin, or what caused Hitler suddenly to |abandon his plans for the invasion of England in | | favor of trying to finish off Russia. With all the | | evidence available, neither our State Department nor the British Foreign Office has any need whatso- |ever to cook up a set of fake papers to show the nefarious 1939 Ribbentrop-Molotov deal in its true | light as one of the greatest confections of cynicism | and insincerity in modern history. | i An Injustice to Veterans { i (New York Times) i ! In many respects the United States Government !has been very generous to its war veterans. But in |*he field of Social Security there is still work for | Congress to do in correcting present injustices to re- turned veterans. One of these has been pointed out THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— [UNEAU, ALASKA MONDAY, MARCH I, 1948 20 YEARS AGO F%'e empire MARCH 1, 1928 The month of February, just passed, was the third warmest February on record since records were started 32 years ago, according to the monthly report of the Weather Bureau.

No matter how much he earns or how long will hold | he works he can never, under present law recover the average earning level for Social Security purposes that | he would have had by simply staying at home and remaining in “covered” employment. The Social Se- }curlty Administration has been well aware of this | problem and has made recommendations on it in its !last iive annual reports. Several alternative methods | of dealing with it have been suggested. It is not an easy problem to meet with fairness to all. Certainly the principle should be established | in legislation that a veteran should not suffer any | provable loss in Social Security benefits, present or | future, because of war service that has not been met | by unrelated benefits from the Veterans Administra- | tion. A fair assumption can be made that the wages of almost every able-bodied young man would have risen during the war years if he had stayed in cov~ ered employment instead of going into service. Whether | allowance should be made for that probable rise in | inicome is a question of policy to be decided. But at | any rate Congress should at this session see to it that veterans shall not be penalized in this way or any \ther, in their Social Security benefits, because they served their country. That is one sacrifice we need not exact. thirds of which will be used for local activities. During 1947 the local office handled cases at the rate of 75 each month. Juneau also benefits from the one-third ‘sum which is sent to the national organization in the form of free blood for transfusion and other national activi- tiés. In the case of a serfous disaster the national Red Cross uses these funds for emergency relief. As a result of the terrible Texas City disaster, almost $2,000,000 was spent by the national Red Cross for relief of the unfortunate residents of Texas City. 1t is apparent that this organization fulfills a na- tional as well as local need We urge you to give all you can to the Red Cross‘ this year.
