NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Morith Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. In the meantime, apparently spurred by the dis- charge resolutions, the Rules Committee has given the Alaska bill a hearing and may do so for the Hawaii | bill. The long delay in Rules Committee action, and its obvious reluctance to act now, is puzzling, to say | the least. The explanation apparently lies in behind- | the-scenes political shenanigans. Certainly the merits 1 of statehood for either of the suppliant Territories is i not in question. The substantive issues have been repeatedly investigated by Congressional commmees and the applications of both Hawaii and Alaska ap- 1 proved. There is neither need nor purpose in further inquiry by the Rules Committee. | The political considerations supposed to be involved | are not very clear.

The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page 1) set forth by the counsel of the United Nations and the friendl advice of the United States govern ment for the purpose of furthering the cause of peace in Palestine, the United States government will re- gretfully be forced to the conclu- sicn that a complete revision of its attitude toward Israel has become unavoidable.” TRUMAN PERSONALLY INTERVENES One amazing feature of the pre- emptory displomatic message is that President Truman takes personal responsibility. The first paragraph of the note states that the message is being sent at the request of the President of the United States The note deals with two main subjects: (1) Boundaries and Arab lands. (2) Arab refugees. The question of boundaries is dealt with only briefly, the United States demanding that Israel com- pensate the Arab countries for ad- ditional lands seized by Jewish ar- mies after the date of the United Nations decision of November 19, 1947. The main body of the note tains to the 600,000 to 800,000 Arab refugees who seek to return to their homes and territory now held by Israel. These refug per- Palestine dur- ing the Arab-Jew war, partly because they were urged to do so by the Muiti of Jerusalem, partly be- cause they feared Jewish ‘errorism. Since the war, the Tsraeli govern- ment has said that it would be will ing to ist in takingz care of th refugees providing the Arab govern- ments assist also. However, Israeli has refused to bring them back tc their former homes, first because it would automatically cut off further Jewish migration from Europe, sec- ond, because the cost would be pro- hibitive. At present, Jews are migrating from Europe to Israel at the rate of 25,000 to 30,000 a month. A total of about 60,000 Jewish immigrants have been placed in new camps, due to lack of housing elsewhere in Israel. And the new government faces the fact that it cannot have both Jewish and Arab migration. It must take one or the other. Recently, the United States made a financial survey of the Arab refu- gee situation and decided it would cost an average of $500 per head to resettle the Arabs. And the State Department now demands that, if the Israeli government will not re- patriate the refugees, it must bear the cost of resettlement—approxi- mately $300,000,000. Israeli is willing to pay for the land and belongings which the refugees left behind, but has not been willing to pay the huge re- settlement bill. This refusal natur- ally is the subject of diplomatic ar- gument and negotiation. But why it should cause such a blunt rebuff, with President Truman's own name in the first paragraph, remains a mystery.

The |arguments in favor of admission, though somewhat different in each case, are equally conclusive. There |are more than half a million citizens of the United States in Hawaili and about 100,000 in Alaska. The great majority in each want the responsibilities as well as the privileges of statehood. They ought not to be denied equal status in these United States any longer.
