To Appeal Fire Case

A jury trial was held Dec. p in the civil suit brought by Henry Haag versus Bill Kar- vonen, owner of the recently burned Kodiak Garage, and the jury found for the defendant. The jury consisted of Tom Will liams W. P. Smith, Ralph Han- sen, Ole Olsen, John Stenlund, Joe Heitman.
 Haag charged that loss of his car in the garage fire was due 10 negligence of KarVonen. Testi- mony was introduced in an at- tempt to show that Karvonen had been warned about use of a homemade oil stove by the fire department and that the stove had been used anyway and that the fire was attributable to 1t. The defendants witnesses claim. ed negligence was not present and that responsibility for loss by fire of cars kept there was not assumed.
 Warren A Taylor was attor- ney for Haag and Talmage A. Smith was attorney for Kar- vonen.
 It is reported that the case will be appealed to the district court.

Despite weather that kept the planes on the ground part of the time, the entire force, along with all its equipment, with the exception of big field pieces and similar heavy items, was trans ported to Nome in a period of IS days. The movement could have been completed in a week had it not been for unfavorable weather conditions.

Headquarters, Alaskan De- partment-One of the first of the big troop movements by air, probably the largest up to that time, took place last year when Nome, on the Alaska mainland, near the edge of the arctic cir cle, was threatened with an in- vasion.
 Dutch Harbor was still smold- ering from two Japanese bomb ing raids, and Kiska and Attu had been occupied by the Japs. Enemy surface activity had been reported in the vicinity of St.. Lawrence and the Pribllof Is- lands in the Boring Sea. Several Jap ships were reported steam ing toward Nome, which had no defense force capable of turning back a full-scale invasion.

it,, big landowners and most Of finance
and industry, in so far as the latter were
not outright Fascist hackers.
The question is whether the new italy
is to be created out of these opportunist
and basically reactionary circles or out
OF genuine anti-Fascists.
AS far as We can see, the popular
trend Is toward real anti-Fascism. That
will be certainly true when Northern.
industrial Italy is freed of the Germans.
There Is no doubt, at least in my mind,
that If there were no armies of occupa-
ton in Italy at this moment, the follow
ing things would happen: The mon
archy would fall, and a parliamentary
republic take its place A government
representing a coalition of the middle
classes and labor would institute semi
Socialist Italy. The bureaucracy, Army,
police, and universities would undergo
a thorough purge
The next step would be a great land
reform-essential in an agricultural
country like Italy. The cooperative
movement. destroyed by Fascisn, would
flourish again among the small land
owners. and the great latifondia, or
entailed estates, would be confiscated,

ton, and divided among the tenants
who might then be comparatively or
gained.
The great basic industries would I'M
doubtedly be nationalized-as is already
happening In France, with the taking
over Of the coal mines by the De Gaulle
government. But private ownership and
enterprise would be retained in land In
commerce, and in all the smaller in
dustries, Specialization extending only to
basic national resources and the basic
industries built upon them
The educational system would be
thoroughly rebuilt. in the spirit of
Mazzini.
And it is difficult to see why this sort
of development should be opposed by
the British and Americans It is the
surest. and in my opinion, the only bull
wark against radical communism and
bloody civil war.

Meanwhile, as w. c. Lowdermilk,

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

We--and by I'VE" I mean the Allied
coal1tion-are in serious danger of win
ming the war in Europe militarily and
losing it politically by failing to read the
signs Of the times.
We shall lose the war politically If the
American British Russian coalition dis
solves and Europe is divided into two
blocs, one oriented toward the Soviet
Union and the other toward Britain.
Those two blocs would never be solid
In each there would be an opposition
leaning toward the other side From the
beginning there would be struggle for
power between two blocs and eventually
within these blocs.
Just as in France, our failure to recog-
niZe De Gaulle eventually strengthened
him, so in other countries our failure to
recognize the genuinely popular forces
may, and if continued will, result in
exactly the outcome against which the
present policy is apparently designed:
The whole of Europe will look toward
the Soviet Union and turn away from
the Anglo-American powers.
The Italian situation is q case in point.
In all European countries the most
active opposition against Fascism has
come from the left. Fortunately, for
moderation. this is not exclusively So
A symbol of the other type of opposition
has been Count Sforza, who can best
be described as patriot, an aristocrat
and a progressive conservative. The
workers are outright anti-Fascist so are
many middle-class liberals, students and
intellectuals. Most representative of
them is, perhaps, Benedetto Croce. His
torically speaking their symbol is MAJ
zini, the greatest figure of the italian
Risoreimento, who advocated a repub-
lican Italy in federated, Christian and
semi-Socialist Europe.
There remains-in addition to the
FascistS-ihose who were neither Fascist
nor anti-Fascist, but cut their opinions
to suit opportunity. This group was
especially to be found among high Off
GERS, the aristocracy dncluding Britons
and Americans who had married into

remain the head man In France II some
old line Communists such as Thorez
and Marcel Cachin were supported by
Russia.
Examining the pattern of what
Moscow considers trustworthy gov
ernments, 1t is obvious that only re-
liable Communists are being trusted.
This pattern can be drawn from what
has occurred in Yugoslavia, Bulgaria,
Romania and in the portions Of Poland
which have been liberated.
Moreover, no one, not even the British
government, knows whether the USSR
looks with friendly eyes on efforts of
London to establish a western European
bloc. Gen. de Gaulle intends to learn
this week what is In Premier Stains
mind.
The uneasiness Of the French leader
is caused by realities. Since the day he
entered Paris he had discovered that
lacking an adequate military force, he
has not been able to impose himself on
the country.
Although at present relations between
are friendly, it is well-known that
State Department ever trusted Gen de
Gaulle fully. After Gen. Giraud became
the head of the Aigiers government the
United States decided he was trust
worthy and preparations were made to
arm large number Of French and
Colonial troops. At one time, Gen.
Eisenhower figured that by the end of
1914 there might be as many as Is
French divisions. The behavior of Gen.
de Gaulle, who after having taken over
the political supremacy of the Algiers
government from Gen. Giraud insisted
on pushing the old warrior completely
out of the picture, resulted in slowing
down of the re-armament Of the French
divisions
The United States sent Gen. de Gaulle
about enough to arm the troops which
are now fighting in Alsace Had Gen.
de Gaulle allowed Gen. Giraud to COM
mand forces of France 1t is probable
that by now the French government
would have had at least Is fully equipped
divisions-enough for the front and to
establish and sustain the authority Of
the Paris government.

This Changing World
By Constantine Bro.rn

Gen. Charles de Gaulle travelled to
Moscow on easy stages. He wanted to
see as much as possible Of the land he
has admired so much but had not had
the opportunity of seeing before.
With more haste and without waiting
longer than was necessary to synchro-
nize his arrival in France with the de-
parture Of the general, Maurice Thorez,
the leader of the French Communists
who has spent five fruitful years in
Moscow, has arrived in Paris. where he
was given an enthusiastic reception
On the surface, there seems to be
no relationship between Gen. de Gaulle's
trip to Moscow and Thorezs return to
Paris. However, political observers who
have followed developments closely since
the liberation of Paris see in the gen.
erals trip the deep concern he has re-
garding the future and his hopes of OBJ
tanning from Stain at least a promise
that Stain will remain neutral in the
struggle for power between Gen. de
Gaulle's government and Thorez's Com
munjsts.
Prior to the French leaders decision
to go to Moscow Prime Minister
Churchill and Foreign Secretary Eden
had visited him in Paris. Their object
was to discuss once more with Gen.
de Gaulle the question of the forma-
ton Of the European bloc. This matter
already had been thoroughly threshed
out while Gen. de Gaulle was in London
and Algiers. But the British leaders
thought the conversations were neces-
sary now that the former head of the
Free French had become the recognized
head of France.
Meantime, however, Gen. de Gaulle,
yielding to diplomatic pressure from
Moscow, was compelled to permit the
return to France of the leader of the
French Communists who had escaped
to Russia in 1889 and had been SEN
fenced by the courts of the republic as
a deserter. For more than two years
Gen. de Gaulle has been trying to lean
on Moscow rather than the western
democracies.
He received limited support from
the Russian government which was the
first to extend diplomatic recognition
to the Free French organization But
Gen. de Gaulle feels that he could not

Conspiracy Cases

There Is considerable merit to the
complaint by Federal Judge Elwyn
r. Shaw that "the general idea on
the part of the Government has
been to try conspiracy cases by
putting everything in sack and
throwing it up in the air."
The statement, of course, is an
exaggeration, and it hardly belongs
in the category of detailed and spe-
cif1c criticism. Nevertheless, there
Is considerable evidence of tend
ency to employ the conspiracy
charge as a sort OF catch-all device,
which is useful primarily as a means
of getting suspected persons into
court.
Unfortunately, as the local sedi-
ton case has plainly demonstrated,
1t often is. exceedingly difficult to
conduct a fair and orderly trial
under conspiracy indictment. This
is especially true where there are a
score or more of defendants, where
the evidence is largely circumstan-
tial in character and where the
proceedings drag on month after
month.
There is no doubt that In some
circumstances resort to conspiracy
indictment is justified, and perhaps
necessary. But it is a weapon at
the disposal of the prosecutor which
can be abused, and the trend appears
to be in the direction of increased
abuse. That being the case, Judge
Shaw's admonition to the Depart
ment of Justice Is one which de-
serves something more than passing
notice.
