Just watch Juneau grow. er CLOSING RANKS So far as can be gleaned from its nonsecret 1-xt, the newly signed treaty of friendship and alliance between China and the Soviet Union is just about “ne standard document Moscow hands to its satellite ntions to sign, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. It is a 30-year pact of defensive alliance with provision for a loan of $300,000,000 to China duving the next five years. On its face, it corresponds to the agreement the United States has made with 10 West- ern European nations in the North Atlantic Pact. The loan must be regarded as a gesture, and little Spread over five years, it averages only $60.- That will not take China more. 000,000 of credits annually. | 200,000,000 people and the rounds out an elaborate network of agreements which | ¢ wraps in one package about one-third of all the people | | | very far on the road to modernization of her industry( and agriculture.

The important thing remember is that this treaty formalizes the partnership of the two most populous Communist countries other with 450,000,000. to It of the world. From the particular States, there js an ominous empt on curbing the power of J: n the Japanees ran amok through the whole Far East, this is a plausible objective. But it also happens that Japan is becoming the anchor of America’s de- fenses in the Western Pacific. In this sense, the Sino-Russian treaty is just an alliance against the United States as was the Rome-Berlin- Tokyo Axis of 15 eventful years ago. standpoint of the United as much BRITISH DEFENSE PROBLEMS British newspapers are giving much attention to The Manchester Guardian in an editorial at Britain bombers, as follows: “There is today no fighter fast enmough to destroy | a V-2 rocket; even the latest anti-aircraft gun cannot against jet slower touch the rockets or guarantee protection bombers. The answer to the rocket, as to the mass-destruction weapons, is the controlled projectile, itself a rocket, directed by remote control upon targets picked up by radar. “Greater priority should be given to the devel- opment of this type of defense. The real armament race today is not between rival atomic stockpiles, but between the fastest bomb carrier and the weapon that will kill it.” Everybody’s Nuisance (Seattle Times) Merchants of the nation, through the Amm-unn] Retail Federation, are strongly urging repeal of the wartime “nuisance” excise taxes. That is something more than the effort of what some would call a “pres- sure group” working on Congress, for the wish for relief from the excise levies, either by repeal or reduction, is general with the public, as well as with business interests. In urging this action, the merchants of the | nation are speaking for transportation and amusement nterests, as well as for themselves and the great body »f consumers. An air line is offering a “live” floor show, including Hawaiian grass-skirted hula girls, on its Stratocruisers o Hawaii. That surely gives air service a new twist. ~(Bellingham Herald.)

An Assistant Secretary of State looked anxiously at his boss. Acheson’s expression was a be- nice-to-Senators look, but his voice was cold as he answered: “We have regulations on this matter.” Minutes later, Bridges was back again with a smooth “would you Old White House bricks—About 750,000 hand-made bricks dating back to George Washington’s day will come out of the White House as a result of its face-lifting.

But his voice no longer had that stitf, edgy quality, and when he finished, there was a hush in the room, as Ache- son waited for the verdict. It came from Chairman Kenneth McKelar of Tennesse: “Well, gentlemen,” he croaked, e’ll let the Secretary go. He's'a busy man.” Not a voice was raised in protest Becretary Acheson had passed his trial. ¥ Capital News C().psules Truman slams door—It happened some time ago, but it's stil sig- nificant that the President had a meeting with Georgia’s Sen.
