PAGE SIX THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASEA LS THESE DAYS ceBY-- GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY PEACE ACTIVITY It is said fancifully that we won the war but lost the peace. That is nonsense. Whoever lost the peace, lost the war. Whoever won the peace, won the war. Thus far, the evidence is that Soviet Russia won the peace; therefore, S Russia won the war. The Russia take precisely that position and it has given them a moral strength among the weaker nations of the world. From the of peace. No Peace Conference been called in this connection has by laid down a political with the Versailles which established Nations that did not last lang. time World War II started in Europe, this country became involved in an astonish- ingly large number of international conferences. Out of that large num- ber, I have selected 13 as the basic Peace Conference. The reason that the war never ended; the enemies have changed. Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia.

It is interesting that Cordell |Hull, Secretary of State, attendea only two of these conlerences, the First Quebec and the Moscow. Henry Stimson, Secretary of War, attended only one. The Second Quebec, which established the basis ’for Yalta, was attended by Henry Morgenthau and Harry Dexter White, but not by the Secretary of State. Franklin D. Roosevelt, General George Marshall, and Admiral King attended seven of the 13 conferenc- es. Harry Hopkins, Averell Harri- man, General Arnold, General Scmervell and Admiral Leahy at- tended six of them. These eight men made what Yhey perhaps thought might be the peace. They had many assistants and associates Lut these men served continuously in the formulation of the peace and they failed. was merely an affirmation of Yalta,| those who did the job could not| but have accepted Stalin’s terms They say that hindsight is easier than foresight. All of which is non- sense, because it evades responsib- ility. In our system of government, responsibility is fixed.

AT, SPECIAL FIREMEN MEET The Douglas Volunteer Fire De- partment met last night at a spe- cial meeting called by President Rob- ert Anderson, to make final plans for the Annual Spring Dance for which the date is set for April 29. Tickets for the dance were dis- tributed to members for sale to the public and it was decided to set the proceeds of the dance into a special fund as a start for fire truck re- placement in future years. The De- partment will keep adding to this fund for that purpose with other funds received by the department in excess of expenses. It was men- tioned that the present truck barely meets the Fire Underwriters tests. and that with the possibility of the town’s growing considerably within a few years, it would be highly de- sireable to maintain two trucks if possible. The feed committee served chili, and trimmings as refreshments after 1the meeting.
