emphasized that the Company
would meet any financial require

ITO give Negro pupils an equal
opportunity" says President Nor

the District of Columbia which have
separate school systems for Negro
es and whites. it was decided that
twenty scholarships-for Negro
tudents only-would be added for
the District Of Columbia and those
states having separate educational
systems. In this way. thanks to
the realitic approach of the Board
and the generoity of Pepsi-Cola
Company and its President. Mr..
Mack, at least twenty Negro child
rem would emerge winners of the
generous four year college schol-
arships. In addition, throughout
the rest of the country. there
would be as many more colored
winners as would distinguish them
selves in general competition which
determined final selection" Negro
pupils in all but the southern stat
es compete for the two scholarships
offered in each state on the same
basis as all other pupils.
In accordance with this policy,
special scholarships for Negro stu

 Labor leaders cannot be unaware of the explosive nature of situation which might range veterans against workers. They may take for granted their division of interests with management or with the farmers. But veteran worker division, in history s light may not be manageable in terms of our political system fascist solution always obtain fol- lowing when the spectacle of liberty become license begins to disturb sizable element in the community
 Perhaps the union leaders do realize the impca- tions of any extension of labor trouble which would bog down reconversion. We do not know But the fact that they not very vocal in these crucial days suggests that they not very happy They are not very happy because they less helpless That is to say many of the current strikes the tail is waggng the dog When the strikes not avowedly run by the union outlaws the union leaders appear to have been forced on the bandwagon whence they are making demands which cannot be argued till industry has been reconverted.
 Labor has come full circle in the attainment of equality of bargaining power. It is time it behaved with some sense of social responsibility. If 1t remains prisoner of pressure-group thinking this wave of unrest may be countered by of reaction, and the rights of labor will be lost along with the entire bill of rights

Overseas Surpluses
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqulrer)
 War is the greatest of mankind's extravagances. Even apart from the waste of human life and health it entails fantastic waste of materials. Nor could it be otherwise. When you interested in winning war, you are going to rush weapons and supplies to the fronts fast possible, and up to the last hour of the conflict
 More than any other belligerent, the United States fought the with materials And of the hundreds of thousands of tons of goods shipped overseas considerable proportion will now be found at bases in the several theatres of in usabe con- dition but hardly worth carrying back to the con- tnenta United States.
 Surplus goods overseas considering only movable items have been estimated tentatively at value of almost $1000O,0OOOO0. They are to be designated as surplus because is not economically feasible to bring them back Yet there is point in leaving machinery automotive equipment and building materials to rust or otherwise deterorate Neither is there any point in simply giving them to the countries in which they are located.
 The most practical suggestion thus far is to trade these surplus goods for commercial or military rights where the government involved has something of value to offer in return. We need air bases for our future commercial air lines in many places in addition to the islands likely to retain in the Pacific We need outlets in foreign countries for the goods factories will soon be producing in excess of our domestic needs. We also need rights to the military of some bases in territories we cannot expect to acquire outright.
 There important possibilities here for the salvage of something from our vast movable assets overseas It is true that the primitive peoples of some Pacific islands will not have much use for bull dozers And there are enough Quonset huts on some dminutive atolls to house comfortably a hundred times the native population. Obviously some of ou1 assets abroad ceased to be assets in the true sense the moment the ended. Yet there is much that can be used where it is now located We cannot hope to sell the goods for cash. We had best take payment in rights to trade or military rights and have some thing to show for overseas surpluses.

GRIM PICTURE

grim prospect lies before the country if th9 spreading strike is not arrested The holdup of reconversion which is resulting from the enforced idleness is having a retarding effect upon both
 tona and international reconstruction. Abroad the endproduct of the holdup is economic distress and political chaos. In this country it is nfation Infa
 ton which kept in bounds only by the exercise Of rigid price controls, can be countered not by the stilng of factories but by their reactvation. Goods and goods, output and more output the only things that provide the market for the surfeit or money which is now lodged in war-created savings. In these circumstances strikes for raise may be won only at the cost of dilutng the workers pay in the interval of striking for more Nor should it be forgotten that the generator of imitation is psycho
 logical well economic In this respect the greatest guardian pay envelopes the restran
 of the general population. If spending spree were
 initiated with the responsibility and the same restessness is being exhibited by of the present strikers the strikers would be robbed of much more than they likely to gain from their present conduct
 Another result of the epidemic is the encourage ment of division in society between the veterans and the workers This we have mentioned before. The great aim of the returning serviceman is to get back to civilian job, He may find no job at all as the result of the closing down of plant because of a strike. And if the strike wave continues to extend and expand he will come back to prostrated economic system, which would deny jobs all around The veteran reaction may not be very pleasant. Prevention of work by kind of sabotage of recon version will reproduce in him the anger that was caused during the when there were highly pub liczed strikes in production centers When Presi- dent Truman was in Europe, he prayed with the soldiers that their homecoming they might find

the Boxer Rebellion Indemnity Fund provided for thousands of Chinese students to study in this country that we Jgot to be so friendly with the Chinese. :. Why not do the same with Russia?
 In other words, there is no use doing lot of wishful thinking about peace unless we get out and practice it. For the cost of one battleship we paid the expenses of Rockefeller's Latin American Good Neighbor Committee for four full years It was dirt cheap. If we can head off the war with Russia that the brass hats are talking about, and secretly preparing for, not only will it be cheap, but it will save civilization <. Now that we are about to drown, let's grasp at the last straw. We have tried everything else, from pitchforks to atom bombs, and each time we have found that they didn't work.

quently is far ahead of us in science. Cheerful little thought. Our cup of joy now runneth over. But that isn't all. The chief living German specialist on atom energy, Werner Heisenberg Ca NazD has disappeared, and the U. s. Army either doesn't know or won't tell us what's happened to him. And more cheerful news. Enough atomic energy to blow up the city of New York can be smuggled into this country in a loaf of bread Once inside, it could be made into a bomb with the machinery used in an ordinary bicycle shop. In other words, an enemy wouldn't need to use the long, distance rockets Gen. Marshall and Gen. Arnold have been warning us about. And how could an army in New York stop the explosion?
 On the heels of all this comes Jimmy Byrnes, an able statesman and usually an optimistic one, bringing us the most doleful report ever emanating from an interna- tional conference The London meeting was about the most im- portant the world has seen. Yet it was the worlds greatest diplomatic failure.

SERMON ON THE MOUNT

Maybe, however, there is one small ray of hope on this dreary october horizon Maybe be- cause the weapons of war have reached such state of perfection, maybe because we have reached the all-time low in international Encouragement, we will wake up and revolutionize our tactics. . '. Maybe we will wake up to the futility of old-fashioned diplomacy, and the hopelessness of big armies, and put our faith in friendship. In other words, everything else having failed, we might finally come around to practicing the Sermon on the Mount. It has worked with our good neighbors in Latin America. Maybe it would work in Europe and Asia-where turks the greatest danger.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-10-16

If, for instance, we spent a small fraction of the amount we spend for war on good neighbor- Illness, it couldn't hurt, and 1t might help. A drowning man will grasp at anything to save himself. Since we now admit that civilization is in danger of going under, perhaps we'll grasp at such revolutionary thing as trying to work at the Sermon on the Mount and peace.
 A lot of people will call me crazy or a chronic liar or some thing similar for suggesting this, but perhaps it isn't so crazy. :. Take, for example, what we did in Latin America. There, Nelson Rockefeller did pretty good job until he made the mistake of batting Argentina on the back. We exchanged professors, students and newspapermen. We got Latin Americans up here to travel around and see that the U. S. A. was full of friendly and relatively harmless people. |. This is important. The problem of preventing war is largely one of getting to know and understand people. We will never have any war with the British because we unders tand them. But the Russian situation is much more difficult. In the first place, we isolated Russia for nearly 20 years. We snubbed her automatically and we are now reaping the conse- i quences. You can't keep a nation at arms length without making them suspicious. And the Russians are now just as suspicious of us as the U. s. Senate was of the League of Nations and the World Court in the days of Wood row Wilson They don't want to enter any World League or Conference unless they have the veto power-just exactly as the U. s. Senate demanded the right to veto decisions of the World Court or the League.
 *
 SELLING THE U. s. A.
 So the problem is partly getting the Russians to like us and trust us, and to understand that we're not such bad people. The other day, I travelled from Wash ington to St. Louis. In the car next to me were about 20 Russian officers and their wives, and they were having a terrible time. Their tickets were balled up, they didn't know where to change cars, and am certain they were of the opinion that this country was de- liberately conspiring to cause them trouble. What an opportunity that would have been for a Good Neighbor Agency or a Department of Peacei What an opportunity to
