Trades & Labor Council

A number OF miscellaneous subjects
occupied the delegates to the Trades
and Labor Council last Tuesday night
among which were a decision to notify
Montana's congressional delegation that
organized labor here does not approve
Of using American Marines or other
Army units or ships or ammunition to
support either one cause or another
in the struggle for supremacy for con-
troll of the Chinese government At the
present time it was brought out that
the United States, in contradiction to
its policy of non-interference is sup

that is that the United States or any

 Since then four months have gone by and nothing has been done, no courts have been set up and no system of law has been accepted for the trial of war criminals.
 'The effect Of this course by the United States is manifestly harm ful to our prestige in Europe. There are more than a hundred million people in Europe who for four years have been living in ter TOT, kept alive mainly by the hope of ultimate justice. Most of these people would pefer the leadership of the United States but if they can get nothing from us they will turn to the leadership of some other country. The importance of this subject from an international point of view can hardly be over estimated"

but said nothing about the failure of the Congressional appropriation.
 T then went over to the White House where I discussed the mat ter with the President. The last words that he said to me were, Go back to London as quickly as you can and make yourself Chair man of the Commission
 That afternoon I went to the Secretary of State expecting simp- ly to shake him by the hand, say goodbye, and return on the next boat. In the Secretary's office found MT Hackworth and was in formed that I could not return at all
 When I asked MT. Hackworth, in the presence of the Secretary of State, why he'd allowed me to go over to the White House and discuss this matter with the Presi- dent in ignorance of the fact that could not return, thus making a fool of the President and me, he answered that it was none of his

 These are facts which anyone can check For these reasons are forced to discount opinions ex- pressed by these writers since they the opinions not of the free press but the subsidized press
 It is significant that these two writers of the many in Alaska are the only two which wholeheartedly behind the present and the ideas expressed in his recent political booklet. As matter of fact, five Alaska newspapers have taken issue with the Governor over his booklet.

NO OTHER CHOICE

The thoughts in a political propaganda booklet published by Governor Ernest Gruening after the last session of the Territorial Legislature continue to crop up in almost every issue of two Alaska newspapers Jessen's Weekly of Fairbanks, and the Wrangel Sentinel.
 Both of these newspapers during the past year have more than a few times raised their editorial voices in condemnation of The Empire which has chosen to question many of the ideas of government his aides.
 It has not been the policy of this newspaper to waste space the defense of it's policies when these under attack by rival newspapers. We feel that this is matter for readers to decide.
 If our readers have all of the facts they will be able to distinguish between right and wrong. In this instance, however feel that they do not have all of the facts, hence todays wasted space.
 Sparkplug behind the editorial explosions against The Empire in Jessen's Weekly is John Pegues. John Pegues on the Federal payroll to the of $3900 year.
 Similarly, Lew Williams who writes the Periscope column in the Wrangel Sentinel also is singing for his supper since receives ST 800 year as Secretary of Alaska.
 Both of these writers secured their Federal jobs through the support of Governor Gruening. What other course they follow but that of supporting the Governor right wrong?
 They have other choice.

SATURDAY, JUNE 9

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day which should bring good news from many parts of the world.
 HEART dND HOME
 This is an suspicious date for out door recreation. Nature will heal many hurts this Summer, when es- cape from the routine of city life is essential. Time to think must be taken from the usual activities, inas- much as the stars presage the im- portance of spiritual refreshment.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 There is a good sign for mining According to the stars there will be extensive prospecting by scientific methods and important discoveries of minerals is indicated. Arizona and Montana should profit.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Expansion of Pacific Coast business interests and great in- crease in population will accent cer- tain problems this Summer. Race issues will assume unusual features but will be wisely met.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 The Japanese will turn their eyes toward the west coast of South America. War refugees will be aid ed by former residents of Califor- mia who are still loyal to their na- tive land.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of tests that may retard progress, but they will be overcome despite disorganizing Uranus influences.
 Children born on this date may be contrary and difficult to direct. These subjects of The Twins will have conflicting talents that must be wisely developed.

dent Roosevelt. I immediately went to the State Department and in a few weeks was ready to sail. I was informed that the British Government did not want the Am erican Commissioner to get to Eng land until the commission was ready to meet. discovered after wards that no such suggestion had ever been sent through the Ameri- can Embassy in London.
 T tried to get an assistant, Pro- lessor Sheldon Glueck of Harvard, who was willing to come, and a friend of mine, Paul Lienau. The Department sent neither of these gentlemen but preferred MT. Law renee Preuss. After a very short time in London I discovered that part of MT. Preusss duties was to write private letters, mostly abusive to me, to MT Sandifer of the State Department, who in turn gave them to MT. Hackworth, the legal adviser, whose division had charge of war crimes in the De- partment. When l discovered this I told MT. Preuss that he should file his private letters of this char ments He did file some of them but not all.
 Tn February, 1944, I moved, in a Committee of the War Crimes Commission, that crimes against whCmsoever committed for reasons of race, religion, or political opin- ion should be treated as war crimes. Mir Preuss, although officially sub ordinate to me, rose in committee and opposed this suggestion.
 "A few weeks later a British gen. eral sent me by special messenger a document marked secret, for which I had to sign. MT Preuss asked to. have some copies made of it. refused to allow this but told him that he could see the original Shortly thereafter he was discovered dictating copy of this document. I confiscated the copies, the stenographer's notes, and the cartoons and immediately reported to Ambassador Winant, represent ing the President, that ] could not accept the responsibility of secret documents if anyone in my office could arrogate to themselves the privilege of making copies.

And Now An Alaska Authority

Seattle Times
 Plans for creation of Federal authority" to take charge of things in Alaska are announced by Repre- sentative De Lacy of Seattle, at home for brief visit MT. De Lacy says he and Senator Warren Magnuson are cooperating closely with Delegate Bartlett of Alaska to effect the new set-up.
 So far as revealed, the Alaska authority would be empowered to do many things-make loans to en- courage farming and small business make new cata- ogue of territorial and provide means Of development The surface of the picture shows nothing particularly detrimental to Alaska. It would seem that the planners of the authority mean to be helpful
 To the question of whether the authority would be independent of subservien to the Department of the Interior, Mir De Lacy smilingy withholds reply. It is question, believe, the people of Alaska will regard as of prime importance. If independent it might be amendable to well-nformed regional 1nflu- ence. Otherwise it would be no more than an eXpan- sion of the vast powers arbitrarily exercised by Honest Harold Ickes for more than 12 years
 Apart from that, the question that will pop first into the mind of every Alaskan and of every good friend of Alaska is this-Why shouldn't any and all powers needed for the actual benefit of Alaska vested the offices of the Territorial Government rather than in freshly yinvented agency of Federal bureaucracy?

Invasion of BOrneO
(WashingtOn POst)


 At first glance the present Allied invasion of north Borneo gives the appearance of being throw back to a stage of the Pacific war that presumably had come to end long ago. At Okinawa our forces are 1900 miles to Japan than is the northern most point the Island of Borneo. The Japanese garrison Borneo, like so many other Japanese garrisons in the south and southwest Pacific, had been by-passed by Admiral Nimitz and General Mac Arthur and left to die on the vine.
 For two reasons, however, Bomeo has a special importance. In the first place, the Japanese gar rsons and airfields that island too close for comfort to the southern Philippines, where the last embers of Japanese resistance being stamped out Secondly the oil fields of Tarakan and those farther south at Balkpapen could be very useful to fleet when operations against Japan or the China coast get under way. Oil for forces waging in the Pacific must be transported many thousands of miles, source of oil closer to the of opera tons would greatly simplify General MacArthur's and Admiral Nimitz's logistic problem. foothold on Borneo will also have the incidental value of securing base from which the ultimate reconquest of the by passed islands be carried out. The presence in the invasion force of Australian and Netherlands troops gives point to that possibility.

RELIGIOUS WAR CRIMES

During the summer of 1914 1 was chairman of a committee of the Commission. This committee recommended that crimes commit mitted because of race or religion should be treated as war crimes and letter to that effect was sent to the British Foreign Office on the 29th of May and immediately ment.
 The British Foreign Office did not answer this letter and event. ually Sir Cecil Hurst, Chairman of the Commission, resigned because of the refusal of the British Gov ernment to answer. In spite of vigorous letters requesting adequate instructions on this subject I re- ceived none from the State De- partment.
 About the close of the summer we recommended the setting up of mixed military courts and the preparation of an organization along the lines of the FBI to ap- prehend war criminals as soon as any part of Germany was occupied. The last of these recommendations were sent in October, 1914
 T returned to the United States in December, 1944, and found that nothing had been done about any of them. In my opinion, had these recommendations been acted on there would today have been ade- quate machinery for the immediate trial of war criminals
 My protest in December resulted in the failure of Congress to ap- propriate S30,000 for the Commis- sion and I was told not to return. The State Department, however, did find adequate money to main tain an office in London with an adequate staff of stenographers; in fact, everything that was needed except the salary if the Commis- sioner, amounting with allowances to about $6,000 l offered to serve free but this offer was refused.

This failure to appropriate money which prevented my return took place during the close Of the last Congress, which adjourned December 19, 1914 The State De- partment was given notice of this fact but I did not hear of it until the 9th of January On that day had an appointment with the late President Roosevelt and hay ing been in the United States for more than a month I went to the State Department and asked MT. Hackworth if anything new had come up so I could be accurately informed when discussing the sub ject with the President. MT. Hack worth told me the literal truth which had come in from London

I took my first flying lesson on
Nav %, 1914. Taking flying lessons
was not just a sudden notion or
fancy of mine, I had heen looking
forward to it for over three years
Now that the day had arrived ! was
not as excited as ] had expected t.
be. BY the time had waited my
turn, was little more than eager.
The field was only about 40 acres,
quite small in comparison to the
Nogales field, and the plane was a
yellow Cub. We took off immedi-
ately and climbed to about thous-
and feet. My instructor, Chef Hill,
showed me the effects of the con-
trolls on the plane and told me to
take over and see what could do.
had read that many planes are
over-controlled, so I proceeded to
make the opposite mistake. Conse-
quently, we spent some of that first
hour in circles. For about the first
