Every newspaper receives reams of “press releases” in every mail. Some few are legitimate news, but most report mouthings of bureaucrats whose utterances generally fail to interest their own office help. On the other hand, should the information tend to discredit the bureaucrats, it becomes “top secret” and is withheld from the press on the ground that publication would be an admission of weakness. We don't discount the vital need for seecurity, but we contend that guarding essential secrets is a difficult task — and is hardly likely to be accom- plished by giving censorship authority to every petty bureaucrat.

The background of this dispute reveals that the ambassadors of the two English-speaking nations ad- vised the Egyptians some time ago that proposals for the settlement of the issues were about completed. They gave Egyptian officials an indication of the proposals which would be backed by France, as well 1411 Saturday, October 27, 1951 as the other two nations involved Before these proposals could be formally made to HARRY’S IRON CURTAIN Presid eral agenc to mark ering that lead “security rmation” — not for up one The President ys he because ne apers and magazines per cent of the nation’s secrets. press conference reminded Mr. Truman — and showed | him that these so-called secrets out by agencies already authorized publication This brings out ment agencies are unconscionably licize anything ropaganda program.

Treaties giving the British Government the right to maintain solders and airplanes were abrogated by the Egyptian Government without parley. In the view of the Western nations, which make it plain that they are not opposing changes in the Near East, the action of the Egyptians approaches international blackmail, being in defiance of legiti- mate international agreements and tending to create a military situation which would be beneficial to no one but the Russians. Meeting in Ottawa last month, the Western na- tions agreed to suggest to Egypt that the Treaty of 1936 be abrogated and replaced by a new international agreement, in which Egypt would be an equal mem- ber of the Near Eastern Command, including the United States, Great Britain, France and Turkey. to prevent their | Headquarters of the defense area would be in Egypt. | Under this arrangement, the United States would be |involvld in the defense of the entire Near Eastern | area, including Egypt, but would not seek to replace “top secret” is publication.

At the end of the business solicitation the Seals will go by mail into the homes. This yvear marks the 45th annual Sale By the National association, the 18th in Alaska. The Seal Sale dollar is divided three wa percent goes to the national association for their great educational and research program, 20 percent remains in the hands of Christmas Seal committees for local needs in connection with the tuber- culosis control program and the remainder comes to the central of- fice' in Juneau for the Territory- wide program. A letter recently received from a former Juneau resident who has been a patient hospital in Seattle for the past two years gives an insight into the psy- chology a tuberculosis patient must : adopt: “I am happy to report that I am really making progress now—I can | get up five times a day for about 15 minutes at a time, and every| two weeks utes. I have it all figured out that by Christmas I can get up for my first meal and by next summer I can stay up half a day! Dogs that| seem awfully long to you? We are s0 accustomed to thinking in terms of years here, never days or weeks, that I don’t mind it at all so long as I keep making progress. I have learned to keep myself very busy /| with handwork and activities which | require very little movement, and S0 the time goes surprisingly fast.” Scattle Cunil’a(‘\ Ren:wed seals and bonds will} Christmas Seals pay the salary of the occupational therapist who supervises the activities this patient refers to. The Alaska Tuberculosis Association this week renewed for another six months its contract with the Seattle Sanatoria that re- ceive Alaskan patients covering the per patient share of the occupa- tional, therapy and \medical-social counseling programs in those insti- | tutions, in cooperation with the county tuberculosis associations of | Washington.
