Roosevelt. By the time he finished speaking Stalin had won huge con- cessions in the Far East and arranged for our armies to stop at the gates of Berlin and Vienna to wait for the Red Army to take over and thereby gain control of Eastern and Central Europe. Undoubtedly Stalin made scme concessions and authorized the signing of a few agreements which have long since been nullified by his failure to abide by them. We feel that these frequent suggestions that some- one be sent to talk to Stalin, though well meant, are stricfly the bunk. Even if General Eisenhower were to see Stalin and find out what the sc is, he hardly would be empowered to make any commitments. Russian desires have been a matter of history for a long time; the Communist goal has been widely pub- licized (it's the world), and both appear to be a matter of common knowiedge to everyone cxcept members of Mrs. Douglas The last Amer and an dictator’s ear was the late recall, Stalin scarcely needs the word from General Eisenhower to realize that we are not quite the same naive people we were in 1945 and 1946.

One, intro- Iduced by Alaskas Congressional Delegate Bartlett, | would prohibit the use of fish-traps in Alaska waters | | outright. Another, also sponsored by Bartlett, would | | empower the Territorial government, to regulate types i{and use of fishing gear. A third bill, prepared by | the Departgent of the Interior, would permit the | leasing of fish-trap sites, with certain limitations, to | present operators for a 15-year period, at the expira- | tion of which the present operators would be entirely | excluded from further use of their trap sites. | Another factor in the controversy of which the | committee took cognizance involves the claims of | Alaska Indians to aboriginal rights to important trap- fishing areas, claims which await settlement by Con- | gressional action along with the whole problem of ! Indian rights in the Territory. } The joint committee’s report concluded that in-| | terim legislation must be enacted by Congress govern- ing the leasing of fish-traps and that the salmon| industry should not be hampered by “present well- grounded fears that their use of essential sites may ! be summarilysterminated.” ! 4 Two of this State’s representatives in Congress, :smum,r Warren Magnuson (D.) and Congressman i Thor Tollefson (R.) took leading roles in this inquiry { The report was signed by them and by all the nine | other House members of the joint committee. Their }carc[u] efforts toward solution of this difficult prob- lem deserve the appreciation of both the salmon industry and the labor organizations affiliated with lit. As the committee’s report concludes, “Stability is ! as essential to the economy of Alaska and those de- | pendent on it as to the industry itself.” 50 Years of Cuban Freedom (New York Times) Fifty years ago Cuba won her freedom and be- {came a sovereign state. The event marked a change lin the tide of history. It broke the last grip of Spain on the Americas. It also signified the armed and active entry of the United States into the march of {human freedom not only in this hemisphere but throughout the world. In two great wars since then we have justified our chosen course by victory on the battlefield. It was therefore fitting for President Truman, addressing a joint session of Congress, to commemorate this liberation. For half a century now the peoples of Cuba and the Unitgd States have lived in close friendship. | Shielded by American might, trade has expanded, travel has spread and, despite all differences of lan- guage and culture, mutual understanding has steadily developed. The President did not fail to point out {that such a harmonious relationship offers an ex- ample to other nations. Great events and mighty figures of the past rose to color Mr. Truman’s address—the sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor, the union of the Cuban patriots with our army, the.charge up San Juan Hill, Jose Marti, Gomes, Maceo, Garcia and Shafter, | Theodore Roosevelt, Schley and Samson. After the conflict our aid to Cuba did not cease. We helped her repair the ravages of war. The services of Gen- eral Wood, General Gorgas and Dr. Walter Reed are a vivid chapter of Cuban history. Ever since then the principles of equality and justice have drawn the two nations together in ever-closer friendship. | about U.
