For | $23,000 in addition to the $47,000 that has already been raised, Juneau can have a $140,000 public library building. jected several years ago as a war memorial, funds were raised by popular subscription, a lot pur- chased, plans for the library drawn. Now, through Community Facilities Services, matched Federal funds are available to make possible the construction of the library this year. Unique among other municipal projects considered by Community Facilities in that its architectural plans were completed, and its site clear, the proposed library can get under way practically immediately, according to John Argetsinger, the CFS engineer. The drive for the remaining $23,000 is underway now and Library Fund Chairman B. Frank Heintzle- man hopes to have the money raised within the next two or three weeks — and the library completed this summer. . A popular (?) song dies much quicker now than was the case in the preradio and juke box days, but it dies a much harder death. Yrt it's worth remember s fact: Any dis- placed person trying to get ir this nation goes through several screenings. He eened by the International Refugee Organization, an agency of the | United Nations. He is sened by the FBL. He is{ screened by the U. S. Counter-Intelligence Corps. He is screened by a special group tha sents the State Department and the Immigration and Naturali- zation Service. And he is screened by the Displaced; Persons Commission. i Maybe some subversives do get through the mul- } tiple fine mesh. But Senator McC rather a large burden of proof on his shoul About That Statehood Bill ; (Ketchikan News) Let’s not get cxcited over statehood Even if the bill is passed at this session of Con- gress we have a long way to go. 1t will have to be approved by the Senate as well | as the lower House. | The next thing will be for Alaskans to elect a| Constitutional convention to draw up a State Consti- tution. This in turn will have to be approved by the voters and then by Congress. It all means that regardless of smooth sailing for every phase of the statehood bill it will be at least two years before we shall have actual self-govern- ment. Naturally we all want statehood. \ Indeed, Alaskans have been working toward full statehood for a good many years. During that time they have gradually succeeded in enlarging their T ritorial power What they wanted and still want full statehood rights, not an emasculated form of fed- eralized statehood. Alaskans still must keep on working for this end. Meantime, the rainbow chasers after election honors, will continue to beat the drums, claiming credit, and trying to ride into office on “statehood! sentiment,” which is fundamental with all Alaskans.| And those politicians who hold out hope of immediate ! tehood are either exhibiting their ignorance or to make political capital out of the statehood | t The Wasfiinglon * Meny-Go-R_ound (Continued from Page One) Johnson then openfng Most of by three | ning. | done enlooper of Iowa, statement, | the Senators begzan machine-gun- the Smith of New Jer: | read a 10-minute | after ,which | THESE DAYS: quizzing was | Fo BN ans—Alex GEORG OKOLSKY and Henry Cabot THE AREA O¥ CONFLICT | persons.

To state the case in terms of nations that were free at the end of 1888, this is what Soviet Russia has been components of state are, able to incorporate in its empire Eastern Germany, Poland, Cze- choslovakia, Albania, Bulgaria, Ru- menia, Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Karelia (part of Finland). This brings the Russian empire in Europe to the Elbe River on the west; to the Adriatic Sea on the southwest; close to with only a narrow strip of Greece as a barrier, on the south. The present position of the Russian empire in Europe make the Scan- | dinavian penins indefensible. In central Asia, Russian influence has moved southward toward Pak-! istan, Afghan n being a weak and unimportant barrier. Beth Turkestan and Mongolia have been jseparated from China and China itself has been added to the Rus- sian universal state. Tibet will in due course be added and Indo- China and Burma are in a state of flux. All that remains of inde- pendent China is the Island of Formosa, Korea is divided at the 38th parallel and part of Japan, that is, the Japanese half of Sak- halin and the whole of the Kur« iles, have been added to the Rus- sian empire. To get a picture of t enormous gain, this point can be made: In 1938, Russia possessed a port on the Sea of Japan, Vladivostok; jay, Russia possesses on the Pa- icific, all the ports from Vladivos- | tok to Canton. To many, these may only bc[ jnames, but the names embrace 800,000,000 human beings, a third of the total population of the earth.

The proposal to con- clude a pact of peace between the USSR and the United States, as well as the proposal of a pact of the five great powers for the strengthening of peace are fresh and convincing evidence cof the peace-loving foreign policy of the USSR. “In its international policy the USSR is guided by the principle of the possibility of the lasting co- existence of two opposite stems —the socialist and capitalist sys- tems.” Th® whole of the foreign policy of the USSR bears testimony to the fact that the USSR is un answerably acting as the partisan of peaceful relations with all those countries which in their turn desire to cooperate for the best of the world.” “Oleo” Oscar The day after he was unanimous- ly confirmed by the Senate, Oscar Chapman, the popular new Secre- tary of the Interior, got some good- not only a Rus-| proclaimed, but necessity at the present the development of the ited States is aim, am red most of the questions to Gen- |U eral Bradley, who peered through |sian his glasses and shuffled through|it is a papers like a school teacher.

JUNEAU, ALASKA from THE EMPIRE 20 YEARS AGO FEBRUARY 1, 1930 A private dance to the local fishermen, their wives and friends, was given by E. Tanner, Anna Jensen, Ida Foss, Sam Gazaloff and Mrs. A. Haglund in the Moose Hall. The hosts announced it was given in a spirit of good fellowship to the men soon to resume their hazardous calling on the high seas—the men of the halibut fleet. “Judging by the size of the crowd, the halibut fishermen have many friends,” The Empire reported. “The dance was supposed to be a private affair, but everyone ‘Who went was admitted. The dance program varied from oldtime dances | such as the Parisian schottisch and the mazurka to popular jazz. Lunch- | eon was served to more than 200 persons.” Mrs. R. E. Robertson was taken to St. Ann's Hospital with a severe ease of flu; Mrs. Sophia Korhonen also was admitted for medical treae- i ment. Mrs. Mary Lindstrom entertaned for luncheon and cards in her apartment at the Goldstein. Mrs. Bodding and Miss Ruth Creveling won prizes, and other guests were Mesdames Ingman, Bloomquist, Tupper, Berg, Jensen, Oberg, Jackson and Osborne, and Misses Dorothy Chisholm, Dorothy Isreal and Elma Olson. | Edward Naghel, better known as “Pat,” returned on the Admiral IR()g(‘x‘s after completing his third year at the Alaska Agricultural Col- llege and School of Mines at Fairbanks.
