The newspaper- man with the mickey of cheap liquor and the hat on the back of his head is becoming as rare as knee britches and buckled shoes. In his place, there has been growing up another breed of men and women. They are quieter and, on the whole, have better educational backgrounds. They have all the old enthusiasm for newspaper work and they are building soundly and staying with the pro- fession. Newspapers are better for having them, and newspaper readers are benefitting from their worl They will make mistakes. We all do and we all will. But no one does it deliberately. Mistakes are made in the newspapers but 1en and women working umder pressure as they do in newspaper work, can i be excused. But a newspaperman makes his mistakes openly.

Prince Henry, one of the most modern liners on the Pacific Coast, docked at 7 p. m. and sailed for Skagway five hours later. Hundreds of persons visited the vessel and admired its public rooms and furnishings. Capt. Donald Donald, former skipper of the Prince Rupert, was in command; H. R. Sheard and Son, local agent.

In every country, there are Marxis's who sincerely believe that the monolith- ic peace described above is a proper lmuse for lifelong devotion. If we Truman/ question their sincerity, we mis- understand their conduct and the intensity of their affiliation. Also, we underestimate the strength of their effort. That is the essen'ial error which the American government has been making since 1933, when we re sumed relations with Soviet Rus sia. Roosevelt, Truman, Harriman, Byrnes, Acheson—the list is long and includes Republicans and non- party liberals as well Demo- crats—assumed ‘that Russia was merely a nation, playing politics as we play it and that deals and compromises could be made, which, while they lasted, served their pur- poses.
