Alaska Newspapers, 1411 NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES - Fourth Avenue Bldg. Seattle, Wash NO LOAN FOR FRANCO Every once in a' while there appears in the news the subject of a loan to Franco. Discussing this, the New York Times has the following to say: President Truman was not exactly diplomatic when he told his press conference that he was opposed to lending $50,000,000 to Generalissimo Franco's Gov- ernment because our relations with that Government were not friendly. It would have been more tactful to say, as Secretary Acheson has done, that the Export- Import Bank did not regard Spain as a good credit ! risk. But we are glad Mr. Truman spoke out. is not only a bad credit risk. risk. The one virtue of the Franco regime is that it is anti-Communist. toward Spain have not produced any other respectable argument, unless it is respectable to argue that if we lent Spain money Spain would buy American goods. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA called upon to aid the mean and vindictive little man who now rules them. Spain would be worse off under the Communists. But if we had to endorse a Franco in order to avoid a commissar our diplomacy and our morals alike would surely be at a low ebb. \ Vital Issue Affecting All of Us | industry unions and the Alaska Salmon Industry is of | vital importance to the public, labor, and the business | man of Southeast Alaska, and Ketchikan in particular. | This vitally concerns us all.

First glance leads us to believe that this is a Jjurisdictional dispute between two rivals unions, both trying to gain recognition and agreements with the | yCanned Salmon Industry. A second look makes us} believe that although both unions desire an agree- ment, this is not the primary issue, Events of the past week leads us to believe this is largely a struggle between two entirely different types of ideology.

Gus Kelley, D., Pa, seniorj mémber of the House Labor com- mittee, has already held hearings on the measure. But despite strong support in and out of Congress, the proposal is a long way from en- actment. It is encountering vig- orous bureaucratic resistance. But that is not daunting Strach- an. All his life he has had to fight for his ideals. It took him five years to make NEPHW a reai- ity, and he is prepared to battle the remained of his days for his new dream. “It will be worth it” “We can’t loose. Even if this pro- gram is not adopted in its entirety to start with, it will force advances that would otherwise not be achiev- ed.

His father was a crusading coun- try editor in Michigan, Indiana and Georgia. He battled agamnit political machines and for the un- derdog without fear or favor. On one occasion, his press was smash- ed by a mob. The elder btrscnan. borrowed equipment from a nearby town and issued his paper with a| scathing attack on the mob.
