The report cautioned, however, that “if the Arctic has been overemphasized as tfe first outpost of de- fense” for the North American continent, this should become known “so that the country can focus its attention on areas of greater importance from the point* of view.” The report declared that “a inquiry inta the implications” of our nd the best means for developing it and adequately is now of urgent import- strategic thoroug! Arctic poli concretely ance The report noted that the geographical fact that the shortest route between the United States and Eurcpean Russia crosses the Arctic Sea “has prompted military autborities in the United States to predict that the polar regions would be a major zone of combat should the presently strained Soviet- Ameucmn‘ relaticns degenerate into war.” It addéd: “The American effort to strengthen the northern | approaches of this hemisphere has proved disappoint- | ing in three particulars. “First, in field maneuvers the low lemperatuxes prevailing in the North for long consecutive periods prevent the satisfactory use of weapons and tactics which are effective in other climates. “Moreover, northern North America is thinly popu- ated, whereas ‘areas inhabited by our people, backed oing | Pederal agency. [urged that the Governors start a | by industry and commerce, are easier to defend than uninhabited areas where only the troops are a factor in defense',” according to Julius A. Krug, Secretary of the Interior. “And third, governments controlling strategic areas | along the Arctic perimeter have been unwilling to | accord the United States the use of those areas for military purposes to the extent which Washington apparently considers desirable.” In view of those disappointments, the report said, American policy toward the Arctic regions “as now applied adds to the tension of the world without prom- ising ta safeguard us effectively in the event of war.” The study continued: “If military men are correct in assuming that the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions may be a theatre warfare between the United States and the Soviet | Union, their main source of concern should be not dl])lm‘l‘\{'_\‘. but the Americans’ imperfect adjustment to warfare and life in extreme temperatures and the underpopulation of the Northern areas in which the United States is interested . . “An effort by an enemy to esiablish a foothold Arctic North America is not beyond possibility.

The report declared that “repeated statements in public that military combat in the Arctic is likely can| aggravate the general tension” between America and Russia, and noted that Canadian officials have made suggestions for softening the rivalry between the two great powers with respect to the Arctic regions. The study added: “A cooperative spirit marked the activities of the powers in the Arctic before World War IT, but in recent vears fear of attack has prompted this country to rely | on its own military strength and on bilateral diplo- | matic strengthen itself in the Far North.” troops Belgium's relatively mild cold | agreements to Monument In Men | asd Ll | (Cincinnati Enquirer) | It is the privilege of few men to be buried in so | magnificent a monument as that which forms tlu-v; last resting place of the Rt. Rev. Edward J. Flanagan. | Stricken across the world on another mission in the interests of youth, the famed Father Flanagan has come home to final rest in Boys Town, Nebr., the | institution founded upon his precept that “there is no such thing as a bad boy.” It is his own wish that] he is buried in the chapel of Boys Town. The acting director explains: ‘““He wanted to be near his boys so they could visit him at any time.” Yes, in the institution itself and in the spirit which created Boys Town may be found a monument finer and more enduring than the most resplendent marble or graven stone. What better epitaph could any artisan write than Father Flanagan himself wrote in the minds and hearts of his fellow men: “There is no such thing as a bad boy.” In the spirit of that sentence Father Flanagan accomplished a revolution in the treatment of Jjuvenile delinquency. Boys Town was founded on a loan of $90. The idea became a mission and the building be- came an institution. The need outraced the raciht!es,; but Boys Town provided the pattern for others to, follow. Today across the nation opportunity has re- | placed incarceration as the keystone of dealings with | ! problem youth The pity is that Father Flanagan couid not remain forever as the gentle guiding force behind Boys Town. But at least enough time was given him to achieve unc of the most notable reformations in the history f penology.

Asl kLm how he was able to carr every one of California’s 58 coun- ties for Governor in 1942, Warren replied: “I did it with Democrats.” In 1946 he was so popular with; both paries, as well as to the Democrats. War- the Republicans re- nominated him. And in the recent California primary, Warren about the same number of votes as Truman, despite the fact that there are Democrats than Unquestionably, Warren is the one 100 percent sure-fire GOP candidate guaranteed to beat any| Democrat, probably including Eis-| enhower Republicans. WARREN VS, DEWEY There is one great difference between Warren and Dewey. Both have given their’ states extremely efficient administraticns. are highly competent executives. Both have spent almost all their | lives in the complicated science of government, But Warren has deep-rooted a)m- pathy for human beings. Dewey | has stood up for minorities, but his position seems to come from a sense of fairness and political expedience, not from sympathy. An off-the-record conversation occurring at the Governors’ con- ference in Portsmouth, N. H., last week, illustrates the difference be- tween the two men. At the Governors’ breakfast, Dewey started lambasting the teachers' lobby, said it had flood- | ed the country with which | candidate. | always able to swing| is the one | be sure of| that the Democrats| got i 1,000,000 more registered | |an | should single Both | | the janitors. falsehoods, l | counteroffensive. Governor Jim Duff of Pennsyl-' vania suggested that Dewey bring | this up at the round-table schedul- {ed for later in the morning. “Oh, no,” replied the New York | Governor, “not with the press pres- ent. That would ruin everything.” When other Governors asked Dewey what he proposed, he sug- gested: “We'll call an executive session and exclude the press.” | Teachers’ propaganda, he added, “is the biggest lie since Adolf Hitler.” So an executive session wag |called ‘at which the press was ’barred and at which Dewey pro- posed that Frank Bane, secretary ' ‘nf the Governors' conference, hire |a couple of publicity experts at | | $50,000 a year and start a cam-| paign with full-Yage adveriise-' ments combatting the teachers’| propaganda. | TEACHERS’ FRIENDS | Governor Warren and Governor | Tom Mabry of New Mexico, a Dem- : ocrat, didn’'t think much of this. “In New Mexico,” Mabry, re-! marked, “we are short 600 teachers. ! | \ | | We think teachers should be paid more than domestic servants, who' |get $50 a week—if you can find /them.

I can’t see any reason why the teachers, ! who have always been underpaid, should be singled out.” Dewey maintained, however, that' |he had had no other trouble with | | other lobbies. | “I don't know how it is in your state, Tom,” argued Governor | Warren, “and maybe as you say | there is no teacher shortage in New York. But there certainly is in-California, and many of thev teachers are being. paid less lhan I certainly see no' reason why the Governors should | take any action against the teach- ers such as you propose.” | Dewey, however, still wanted the | Governors’ conference to undertake | a publicity campeign against the' teachers, “I'm going to fight thar.l said. “Ii the Governors' confer- | mynjcations System and The Alas- ence will stage a countercampaign, g, Broadeast Company.
