ONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, lulI (Christian Science Monitor) A group of prominent American musicians re- | cvmly greeted the Russian composer Dmitri Shostako- | vitch with a scroll which said: : Music is an international language, and your visit will serve to symboize the bond which music can create among all peoples. | Mr. Shostakovitch reciprocated by launching a | bitter verbal attack against ‘‘cosmopolitanism” in music. The word “cosmopolitanism” is a word which cur- lrem Soviet criticism lumps with “bourgeois” as a term of opprobrium. It is defined by Konstantin | | Simonov as the desire to undermine the “roots of na- | tional pride” because “people without roots are easier | to push over and sell into slavery to American im- i perialism.” | So musle, it seems, is not an international DOUGLAS RECREATIO The Lions Club intends ot keep started and successfully carried out last summer as' regards the Douglas Island Community bathing beach. \ That the beach served as a mecca for summer pastime | { last year goes without saying.

As we hung up, we looked over | his shoulder to see what insidious propaganda wasl undermining his 100 per cent Americanism. He was reading a “Letter to the Editor of Pravda: On overburdening of pupils with homework—by lv | Pozbuyunin, teacher of English, Feodosiya, Crimea. ! .

V. Soong was 1, was actually stopping the and sale of U. S. merchant Reason: The ships had been pur- chased from the USA by private firms, thus cutting out any profit for Soong’s Board of Supply. This caused the U. S. Foreign Liquidation Commission, operating und.r the State Department, to make the following official protest: “We have had complaints from several prospective purchasers of maritime property that they are unzble to obtain permission from the Board of Supply to purchase v 1s from our Manila office. In conference with us on 19 Sep- tember of 1946, it was agreed that private shipping concerns in Chi- na would be permitted to purchase vessels in Manila . . . Several in- terested parties, whom we have no- tified of this arrangement, have in- formed us after contacting the Board of Supply that your organi- zation will not issue certificate, but require that all vessels be purchased from the Board of Supply.” SOONG SAYs HE'S A GAMBLER This letter of protest was sent direct to Soong's representative, General P. Kiang. However, he did nothing about it. At a round-table conference between Chinese and American officials, therefore, the State Department raised the mat- ter again. The minutes of that meeting are still secret. However, they state: “The question of the Chinese re- striction on ship purchases was next brought up by Mr. Stetson (J. B. Stetson of Stetson Hats, then FLC| commissioner). He explained that part of our project was to help the econcmy of China and that indivi- dual buyers who wanted to bring in| ships should be allowed to do so. “General Kiang (Soong’s agent explained . . . if there is to be any ship brokerage business done, Chinese Government want to do it SRS T ) your exclusive agent for China,’ he said.” Meanwhile, Soong's Board of Supply offered to purchase the ships for private companies at the black-market rate and for an addi- | tional 5 per cent “handling fee.” In other words, the Chinese Gov- ernment was offering to deal on the same black market it had declared illegal. The situation became steadily worse until Monnet Davis, U. S. Consul-General in Shanghai, advis- ed the Secretary of State in a sec- ret cable: “Executive Yuan of Chinese Gov- ernment has placed ban on impor- ‘m'.iou of ‘American Army surplus goods.' . . .

TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1949 from THE EMPIRE 20 YEARS AGO APRIL 26, 1929 The possibility of the Admiralty Island Coal Company’s holdings being sold to capitalists in the States was a major issue at the stockholders' meeting. Howard Lerch, secretary-treasurer of the company, reported on his trip south to further development of the coal property. Mrs. Lena Kron Marshall was hostess for the meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Van Atta was in charge of the lesson about Negro missions in Africa.

Woofter, post member and also a member of the Legislature, gave a short talk. Fred Cameron was reelected manager of the Legion baseball team, and there was discussion of further improvements on Dugout grounds.
