To Set Meeting
By r. H. sHACKFORD

SAN FRANCISCO, May % CUP)
= The United Nations conference
will set up an interim organization
before adjourning early in June and
will give it the task of fixing the
date and city for the first meeting
of the new league. it was learned
Tuesday.
This conference, harassed by
many other problems including a
big VS.. little nation -cw ever the
Yalta voting formula, thus will es-
cape the bitter fight over selection
either Of a temporary or permanent
site for the new organization.
CONNECTING LINK
The interim 5rgailIzatlo1i Will be
the connecting link between this
conference and the proposed new
organization to be known as 'the
United Nations"
In addition to calling the first
meeting of the new league, once
there is the necessary ratification,
the interim council also will super
wise continued work on questions
unsettled here. 1t will assist also
in arranging the eventual amalga-
nation of the old league into the
new one.
The rough plan for bridging the
gap between this conference and
the Inauguration of the new league
was revealed as conference officials
began emphasizing the desire to
finish here in about two weeks.
Limitation of debate. plus the de-
sire of most delegates to return
home, is expected to help officials
hit close to their present target
for adjCurnment-the first week in
June
SEES END IN TWO WEEKS
Secretary of State Edward R.
Stettinius, Jr, said Monday night
that conference has been very sat-
isfactory and we hope it will be
possible to complete the drafting Of
a charter in about two weeks"
Most of the problems involving
reconciliation among the big powers
have been sufficiently so
that Stettinius is leaving here this
week to spend day or two in
Washington with President Truman
and state department officials. He
said he would consult en- a wide
variety of diplomatic problems, none
of which was related to this con-
ference.

TO CALL FOR RESERVATIONS

The Laborites in effect broke
away from the coalition at their
convention Monday. Tuesday re-
sponsible sources expected Chur-
chill to call for the resignation of
his labor ministers or to ask King
George to dissolve parliament-eith-
er move a step toward the general
election.
Whichever step was taken would
result in the formation Of an inter-
i'm government, probably in time for
presentation to the House of COM
mons when it reconyenes next Tues
day r. vi
Churchill began with an express
sion of regret at the Laborites' re-
lection of his proposal to work to-
gether until the defeat of Japan.
Attlee proposed in return that the
coalition D1 maintained until gen.
eral election in October.
This would mean," Churchill
wrote. that from now until October
outside the government and even
within it we should be continually
preparing for election.
SEES HARMFUL EFFECT
For my part" Churchill contin-
ued. i am sure that continuance
of the uncertainty and agitation
would be harmful to the whole pro-
cess of recovery of our trade and
changeover in industry"
He deplored the "aspersions with
which you have darkened this COR
reSpondence' and concluded with
reminders that the mechanics of
political procedure after the war
already had been discussed in pri-
vate
The uncertainty of Britain's in
ternal politics already were affect
ing her dealings with other govern
ments, observers said.
The cabinet crisis was brought to
a head by the Labor party's refusal
to continue in Churchill,s coalition
government until Japan has been
defeated
1t was expected that Churchill
would complete the reorganization
of the government by the weekend,
/ replacing some 80 Laborite and Lib
eral party ministers and junior min
listers with men of goodwill" of
any party or no party affiliations.

the 20mi limit. Only cities where the tax rate is now less than 10 mis-and don't know of any could keep from taxing at the maximum rate.
 In addition, the proposed tax evidently credits license and other taxes paid by canneries and mines against the property tax thus eliminating what would ordinarily be the large taxpayers.
 It doesn't seem to us that the income under the bill would pay for the expenses of collection since collection first requires assessment.
 The City of Juneau now is having it's property valued at cost of than 000. Ketchikan recently had a similar valuation and the cost was comparable How much would it cost to assess all property the Territory? We believe, more than the tax would bring in
 The bill proposes heavy penalties for failure to pay the tax Many residents in outlying districts in the Territory may not even hear of the tax until they're several years behind. This is land one-fifth the size of the United States with property holders scattered to the four winds.
 In our opinion, the bill would simply set up another large office at the expense of the taxpayer which seems to be the main object behind many of the bills proposed in the House this session.

THE RED CROSS

The Red Cross is many things It is the dough- nuts and coffee in the canteen the firing line. It is the toothbrush or the writing paper the phono- graph record the game of checkers, the magazine or the letter which cheers the dishearened service man. It is the kind word in the hospital ward It is the soft hand of and the swish of starched skirt It is a neatly rolled bandage in an emergency. It is the blood in the veins of wounded man. It is faith hope, and charity delivered on all fronts in the midst of the cyncis despair and cruel destruc ton of war.
 Obviously, then, the Red Cross is not one man, nor merely a group of people. It is the whole United States-every man, woman and child. And this year every person living under the Stars and Stripes will see that the Red Cross "gets through" to him. G. l. Joe serving on the batlefelds of the world We will see by our support of the Red Cross Campaign that begins this Thursday.
 Let us all finish this campaign in the first week. Geet your solicitor at the door. Welcome him. He is your neighbor and the first link in taking the Red Cross to your serycemans side Then give generously so that Juneau may rapidly reach her quota and we can go over the top.

PROPERTY TAX

The leyying of a general property tax as proposed in House Bill 62, authored by Reps. Stanley Mo Cutcheon. Fred Hanford and Warren Taylor is step towards more control of the city governments of Alaska by the Territory and probably another measure which would pay only for the establishment of another large bureau commission.
 In the first place, the bill tells city fathers throughout Alaska that they must tax to the limit or else City councils would have very little choice under this bill if it becomes law but to tax to the 20 mill limit
 The tax levied upon property within city limits would revert to the city treasures, it is true
 Under the Organic Act. cities may impose prop erty taxes no heavier than 20 mills For this reason the bill in question provides that the proposed Ter rtorial tax plus the city tax shall not exceed 2O mills
 However, the Territory can tax the difference between what the city now uses as tax rate and

 After the discipline of work Tn war industries or service with the armed forces, women will return to domestic tasks with a new efficiency. Trifles will not engage attention as in the past and there should be peace and harmony in modern households.

 Increase in crime will cause anxic . ty. especially in the Pacific Coast, where housing congestion adds to the usual hazards. Mayors now will accept special responsibilities in the administration of civic affairs.
 International Affairs
 Jupiter in Virgo is read as prom ising such plentiful food production in l945 for the United States that many restrictions will be lifted and supplies for starving war victims will be vastly increased.

JESSE JONES SPILLS BEANS

They are in exactly the same mood as a previous Ecuadorean Government shortly before Pearl Harbor when Jesse oJnes accidently told a press conference how he was loaning money to the Pacific Development Company to develop the Galapagos Island of Albermarle.
 Roosevelt personally had devised the strategy of forming an Am- erican Trading Company to put a base on Albermarle. He had gone fishing there in 1888 purposely to inspect it. His great uncle, Captain Amasa Delano, put in at the island on his voyages to China. FDR'S mother, as young girl, also stopped there on a trip to China.
 So the President, well before Pearl Harbor, and knowing wal with Japan was unacceptable, had the Pacific Development Company organized as a Delaware Corpora ton, and instructed Jesse Jones to give it a $30,0o0 credit. Where upon, Jesse naiyely told his pres: conference all about the credit.
 Immediately, Ecuadorean news papers hit the ceiling. The dea
