PAGE FOUR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1951 Daily Alaska Empire ¢d every evening except Sunday by the E NTING COMPANY dain Strects, Juneau Alaska We would like to make a small wager that if plans are in the making to send 1,700,000 Europeans to new homes, Alaska is being considered seriously for settlement by refugees. It has been in the past,— and for settlement in numbers from 10,000 to 100,000 On paper, the Territory with its great area and small population would seem a natural for settlement purposes But the very fact that our population is small would make it difficult to absorb great numbers of refugees. And no matter how kind our hearts, how friendly we might feel toward the homeless of Europe’| until more industries have been established in Alaska and more jobs are available, it will be better to discourage any mass settlement of the north.

THAT IS THE THANKS THEY GET The raising of postage rates on newspapers and magazines suggested this comment by the Whiteville (N.C.) News Reporter: “...But if any subsidizing is being done, it is being done by the newspapers and magazines, rather than by the government. Who is it that gives free advertising to the Marine, Army and Air Force, Navy and what-have-you recruiting services? Who is it that gives free space to the post office about mailing early at Christmas? Who is it that gives column after column to government agencies to pro- mote this or that cause? Who is it that donates free space to the promotion of Defense Bonds sales? “It would be poetic justice if the newspapers would charge governmental agencies for this space which has been donated so generously and thus ATIVES Aluska Newspapers, 1411 e.

TRY TO PROMOTE IMMIGRATION? 'nited Nations organizaton, which, with its y \ifications, tackles about every job in the world interested in plans to promote the immigra- tion of 1,7000,000 Europeans to overseas countries. At the recent meeting in Naples, Italy, delegates i from twenty-seven nations, discussed plans for coping with surplus population and manpower problems. The group, organized by the International Labor Office, is concerned mainly with raising working and living standards throughout the | world. Everybody recognizes the problems that face over- populated countries but not everybody in the world believes that every under-populated country has the obligation of accepting additional immigration. Those countries which desire additional immigrants can cer- tainly take steps to secure them—but what about the United States where immigration is restricted by law? The question arises as to whether the United States, in accordance with its membership in the United Nations, would be bound to accept a determina- tion of that organization and open its doors to the immigrants that the UN thinks it should receive. This is not so far-fetched as it may sound, because already, in a California case, the court has decided that a treaty obligation, made through the United Nations, is superior to the laws of this country. including this country, | equalize the burden which the President proposes. | But they won't do it. The public interest is far more ;important than any revenge which might be obtained through striking back at faulty thinking Ang, after all, it will be the public that will be hurt if rates are increased.” Bridge might not be such a waste of time if the players would stop talking about the hands they played last week. People continue to get killed through avoidable | accidents and the toll will continue as long as men exist on the globe. The people in Juneau control their own des- tinies; this community will be just as good as the people who live in it. One of the puzzles that confront the student of human nature is the great attraction that scandal has for minds that belong to the “pure in heart.” When you see a young man busy attending to his own business, you may be sure that he will one day be an old man with some business to attend to. Some business men spend half of their time trying to scheme to get somebody' else’s money and the other half trying to keep somgbody else from getting theirs. in 1943, Churchill flatly opposed an belly—namely, Greece, Yugoslavia, Austro-Hungary.

Toc American policies have largely become British policies—in Grec Turkey, western Ejrope, Japan and China. But in those days, British policies usually became Am erican policies, thanks to the tire- less, persuasive, masterful man in the red and gold kimono, who would rot sleep until he had persuaded U. S. leaders to yield. A lot of memories come crowding back to the diplomats who attend- cd those meetings, vivid memories of a vivid personality who domin- ated whatever meeting he attended and usually shaped the world the way he wanted it. Here are some of them: Churchill at Casablanca — Here Winston put across two things: the Italian campaign through the “soft underbelly of the a: * which did not prove to be soft, which many U. gists felt was a mistake; 3€C0. ary ge from FDR that the Mediterranean Theatre would be British-dominated. .This meant American communicalicns even be- posed the British give up Hong iKong, making it an international | port under the United Nations. | Churchill’s reply: “I did not become !
