The Washington Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page One) Mcescow radio makes out warmongers While the State Department may ke right that diplomatic talks with Russia are of doubtful value, there can be no doubt about the value of getting to know the Russian people and letting them know that we Americans are not warmongers. If the Russian people and the American people could pierce part of the iron curtain and ever get on speaking terms, there would be as little chance of war between us as between the U.S.A. and Can- ada. For governments don't declare war when their people are over- whelmingly opposed to war. us as Believing, therefore, that the only sure way of preventing war with Russia a people-te-people rela- tionship, I have written a letter to Jeseph Stalin. It may not accom- plish anythinz. It may not even get a ly. But you never ac- complish anything in this world without tryinz, so here is the let- ted: is LETTER TO STALIN “Washington, D. S. “May 31, 1648 “My Dear Premier Stalin: “As you may have heard, a large number of Americans, acting quite spcntaneously, last year organized a train of iriendslip to carry food and good will to the people of Eu- rope the Christmas season. “There was nothing ggvernmental about this Friendship Train. We, the American people, were merely 0! us of the fact that Europe ffering and we wanted to do our part—and do it directly from people to people. So a Friendship Train started rolling from Califor- nia to New York with the hope of collecting perhaps 100 carloads of food. In the end, 700 boxcars of food were collected by all sorts of people, farmers, housewives, war veterans, school children, la- bor unjon members and business- men—all of it collected in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount. “I recall, Premier Stalin, that at one time you studied for the priesthood, and doubtless remember from those days the messages of the Sermon on the Mount and the Brotherhood of Man. The Friend- ship Train was conceived in that spirit. “We carried our food not only to an old ally, France, but to our former enemies—Ttaly, at Alaska Newspapers. 1411 Channel have an opportunity this week for an enjoyable eve- is completion adwell's beach has been closed to the public.

The President’s special message asked for improved transportation, federal aid for health And housing, the settlement of land claims and encourage- settlers. We can't recall the exact paragrapvhic ar ment of Mr. Warne's latest plan but the President’s plan sounds very familiar, paragrabh by paragraph We don't find fault with either the President’s or the Interior Department’s plan in toto, it’s just the tiresome repetition of twice-told tales. We don’t know whether they think we’ll believe it is something new, or whether they hope it will sound more imminent coming from the Presidert. We have believed for some time that the Interior | Department should put up or shut up and it's heart- ! ening to find our near neighbors in Seattle feel the same as we do. The Chamber of Commerce suggested | the department quit writing amendments to the plan | for developing Alaska, and get down to Business.
