Thursday, September 13, 1951 ANOTHER STAB IN THE BACK The removal of Secretary of Alaska Llewellyn M. Williams is the latest in the long series of Gruening | purges, althoygh the governor insists, with wide-eyed | innocence, that he “had nothing to do” with Williams’ dismissal. Ananias was a, piker. We find ourselves unable to swallow that denial. It is unthinkabie that amy governor’s second-ii-comi- mand would be dismissed except on that governor's recommendation. Certainly no such removal could occur without his knowledge and consent. It.ds no secret that Williams has long been a painlqixhorn in the gubernatorial side. The United States Senate’s prompt confirmation of Lew Wil- liams’ appointment in 1949 was in unflattering con- trast fo the delayed and hotly opposed confirmation of Gruening. Too, as Secretary of Alaska, Williams served as acting governor during Gruening's frequent and ex- | tended absences from the Territory. It was while Williams was acting in that capacity that he par- ticipated in the appointment of Neil Moore to suc- ceed the late Frank Boyle as Auditor of Alaska This action effectively thwarted any plans the gov- | ernor might have had to fill that important post with one of his yes-men. And Moore's subsequent per- formance of. his duties has completely justified Williams’ judgment. ‘When asked to enlarge on the circumstances sur- rounding Willlams’ removal, the governor replied: “I don't think it would do Lew much good.” — | of good Alaskans and able public servants as the lat- est Gruening purge victim.

William Green. President of the AFL. said that the mission of the committee had been completed, explaining that the group had been established late last year to deal with “emergency problems arising from the defense program.” His counterpart in the Congress of Industrial Organizations, Phillip Murray disagreed and expressed regret that the AFL had “scuttled the method of inter-union cooperation that has won the acclaim not only of union members but of the general public.” Actually, the United Labor Policy Committee was set up rather hastily as a pressure group to wield the concerted strength of organized labor in the organi- zation of the defense program. It was an action taken in understandable self-interest, but the re- sults were not good and the career of the committee hardly was heroic. President Green seems to believe that the ulti- mate unification of labor should proceed through While the United Labor Policy Committee re; nted- a-degree of unification, or at least temporary alliance, at the top of the two major labor movements, it exerted the disadvantages of one big labor union upon the public weal, without contributing any of the potential advantages thereof. . . . For instance, the United Labor Policy Committee did not concern itself with any of the vexing prob- Ism of jurisdictional disputes and interunion “raid- ing” which at various times have jeopardized the defense program . About &l it did, es a matter of fact, was sulk and walk out oh the essential task of defense mobilization planning.

This may be more important than either of the two other factors. For when men lack hope they turn to the phony promises of Communism. Today, however, the Marshall plan, plus various gestures from the American people such as de- mocracy letters and the American Legion's tide of toys, plus the fact that a new European army is now camped alongside the Iron Cur- tain, has given the man in the street new hope. When men have hope they fight to defend themselves. When they lack hope they can see little use in fighting. A Bleak Christmas Four years ago I spent Christmas in France and New Year's in Italy.| It was the most depressing holi-| Carrans, the Senator day season of my entire life. .Paris was dark, the street lights barely flickering, candles were used part time in the hotels; there was al- most no heat, food was scarce, and worst of all people had lost hope. Sometimes went through the routine of liv- ing merely because they had be- come accustomed to the habit ofj can hold off war, the more we living. y Even_the great cathedrals and palaces which had looked down on copquerors and revolutions looked gloomy and weary. Even they seemed to lack hope. That was the crucial minter the Communists chose for their dead- ly strikes and riots to take over western Europe, a winter before we had adopted the Marshall plan or begun to send postwar food. That was also the winter when the American people, usually ahead of their government, sent western Europe a token of encouragement through” the friendship trains. it seemed that they|clique do principle of federalization live un- | der a central government; yet in Europe we have failed completely to put this across. And this is the only longterm solution for Europe’s | economy. 2. We have failed to scll the | Declaration of Independence in | Europe. Though we live under the greatest political document known | to man, we have failed ,to get Eur- opean governments to adopt the principle of “equality” of econom- ic opportunity. The old economic | class system still prevails in Eur-} ,ope: and until workers have a chance to better themselves econ- | omically, Communism will contin- ue to hold some adherents to its phony philosophy. Thus our greatest failures have been in failing to sell Europe the two basic principles of American- ism. There is also another failure— and danger. Wage War Now It comes from the Senator Mc- McCarthy’s and those behind them who want to get us into a preventative war. ‘The American public does not re- alize it, but their speeches give Europe the jitters. For Europeans realize what the “Wage-War-Now” not—namely that time is running on our side. They know that the longer we' can build up our defenses in west- ern Europe, the more we can sol- idify sentiment behind us and the more we can benefit from restless- ness behind the Iron Curtain. That is one reason for the pres- ent barrage of friendship balloons to the people of Poland and of Czechoslovakia. They also need to be given hope. And the demotion of Rudolf Slansky as leader of the Czech Communist party is one indication of the political ferment inside that country—a ferment that must be encouraged. Yet instead of aiding this fer- ment, Senator McCarran frankly That was the winter of 1947. But this year it is so different! I had walked through the dis-| mal, drizzly, darkened streets of Rome and Paris in 1947 remem- admitted in the secrecy of the Sen- Appropriations hearings that he considered war inevitable, there- fore did not want to spend money on penetrating the Iron Curtain, ' tion of a fish ladder, Anderson | diak Island.

It is barren due to a stream barrier also. The department will have five years in which to complete the engineering work in order that the returning red salmon may complete their cycle. Experience shows that when stream barriers are removed the salmon will return to the strcam in which they were born. Last December 50,000 king sal- is expected the re- turning fsh will show up there in three to four yeas. Anderson returned last weeke: from Kodiak and Bristcl Bay wh he met with fishermen. McCarran is an old man. At 75 the day is past when he will have to bear arms to defend his coun- try. He wants war, and judging by his actions he wants it right away He forgets that money is a lot cheaper than lives. He does not realize that time is running strongly on our side that the So- viet may be tempted to precipitate war to stop our progress in Eur- ope. Nor does the aged Senator from Nevada realize that war gets us nowhere.
