Important Defense Work (Ketchikan Daily News) Airport tions to Kotzebue McGrath Nome Northway etersburg | Po Prince George Seattle 'tka Whitehorse Yakutat To our way of thinking, one of the most important things for the Senatorial Committee to aid in defense work is to start the Federal machinery in operation to compel a red-dominated union to co-operate on the screening test for shipping to Alaska. There is nothing complicated about the situation. A law was passed to protect defense work against Communists or their sympathizers. Under this law members of the Cooks and Stewards Union, which wa hooted out by the CIO for being Communist dominate, are required to show their identification cards to the Coast Guard when applying for jobs on a vessel sailing | into critical defense areas . The Coast Guard takes the card of the applicant and checks with the Federal Bureau of Investigation In case of an adverse report, the applicant is returned | his papers, but is turned down for the job. The union has demanded, among other hampering tactics, that the Coast Guard give a reason why the applicant is turned down. The Coast Guard doesn't know! It simply acts as a screening agent, following the advice of the FBI. Even if the Coast Guard asked the FBI the reason it most likely would not tell. As a matter of fact, the FBI has made an ex haustive investigaton of subversive elements all over the United States.

Today we are at war — in some places cold and in some places as hot as the hell of cordite — with an alien creed. We are sending men into battle against foes obsessed with the zeal of their ideological mis- sion. Its an old adage of politics, no that you cant beat something with nothing. L B L R o fhfilashindon Merry-Go-Im_und {Oontinued from Page One) believed in and fought for a sound military establishment. Yet the real mark he left on history was through ‘his untiring, unrelenting, never- ending efforts for peace. Almost unaided he staged a four- ynrflgle rectify the in, tices of V?rsail les &aty m stave off the forces which he saw all too clearly were hurtling the world toward war. An age was dying—an age of in- ternational optimism, of disarma- ment drives and good will, the af- termath of the war to end war. An age was dying, and Henry L. Stim- son, sensing the impending tragedy struggled almost alone to give it renewed life. Stimson became Secretary of State just after Frank B. Kellogg had negotiated the Kellog-Briand act to outlaw war. That pact had no a lot of these di work, would find country. Surely, more _important less true of war, Men | they may. fore he died last week Stimson saw his greatest dream fulfilled. Set Pace For World To Follow I was with him in London during the naval conference when hé strove to put across a “consultative pact.” The pact merely pledged the United States to “consult” in case war threatened, with no obliga- tiecn to use troops or even diplo- matic pressure. Yot a mnervous Herbert Hoover in the White House turned it down. B Before he died, however, Henry L. Stimson saw his government consult with the United Nations over one brief week end and pass a historic wesolution cre ternational army to block aggres- sion in Korea. Furthermore, this historic acticn was taken in the same contagious { corner of the world—Manchuria— fwhcre, 19 years earlier, Stimson had tried to stop war, warning that lit was the beginning of a great power grab of Asia, No, Henry Stimson did not fail. He merely set, the pace for the teeth and no supporting machin- ery, and Stimpson, sincerely be- lieving in what Kellogg had wrif ten, strove to make it work. Realiz- ing the setback that Republican isolationists had given the world when they vetoed the League of Nations, he tried to atone for their mistake. It was an uphill battle. For his chief in the White House, Herbert Hoover, disagreed with him. So did most of the GOP hierarchy. So did many of the diplomats around him in the State Department. Ahead Of His Time But Stimpson saw much farther than they. When the Japanese war Jords struck in Manchuria in Sep- tember, 1931, he saw ahead to Pearl Harbor; and perhaps also to pre- sent-day Korea. He knew that the minor skirmish on the tracks of the Scuth Manchurian railrcad 19 years ago actually was the begin- ning of a giant military grab for all of Asia. . So Stimson tried to breathe new life into the League of Nations, tried to enforce the nine-power pact guaranteeing the sovereignty of China. Finally he went to Eu- rope, rented a villa on Lake Geneva and called in the chancellors of Europe to urge that aggression in this faraway corner of Asia was a greater threat to peace than the petty squabbles of Europe. The premiers of Europe listened carefully. But Manchuria was too far off. Those were dark days in Stim- son’s villa beside Lake Geneva. His room looked out on an old garden, sheltered by high trees in which roosted flocks of birds. And some- times, when he could not sleep and work dragged endlessly, Stim- son looked out among the popla saw again that line of men from the fields, the factories, the sea, going forward; and the lne of women, wounded men, exhausted men, golng back. A panorma of his life lay before him, the latter years having been given to rebuilding equity and un derstanding among the peoples of the world. And he had failed. Yet he had not failed. Few men who are in advance of their time live to see the things they strive for finally come to pass. But be- world to follow. Shortly before Stimson died, my brother Leon phoned him, sug- tgesting that he make a recording ‘o! his criticism of Senator McCar- thy. Courteously, Stimson declined. “I am not well,” he said. “I am making a great effort to keep go- ing. I've come to, where I can’t do that sort of thing any more. I've got to take care of myself very closely. I have bad arthritis and am on crutches most of the time.” His voice was fairly firm as he said this. Then, almost with a chuckle, he added: “Are you Drew Pearson’s brother? Well, give him my regards. He used to make me sweat sometimes.” Thus Henry Stimson, physically crippled, but serene in the know- ledge that he had pioneered peace for his fellow men, quigtly passed away.
