Seeds Are Sent Here

The seeds and cuttings being sent here by the Swedish govern ment are expected to arrive some time in the Spring, early enough for seasonal planting in the Mata- nuska valley farms.
 In Sweden Ohlson purchased an Fl Capitan automobile, model Opel, for his tour of the Scandina- vian countries. The car, General Motors product, was manufactur- ed in Germany. Although the sheet metal body was mot too good" the cars engine was wonderful.
 While touring Sweden the Alas kan-by-choice also investigated the country's reindeer situation, and found much to be gained by a study of its handling of these ami malS.
 In Sweden reindeer meat, "deli- cious to the taste" is served in all the better hotels and restaurants as well as homes, he said. Rein deer hides are made into various clothing items such as exceedingly smart riding brooches and gloves.
 Reindeer herds are kept by pri- vate owners, much as cattle herds are kept in this county. The ami mals are slaughtered at the proper time, when the meat is prime for human consumption-during Oc- tober and November.
 In comparing this picture with the Alaskan reindeer situation, Ohlson said that due in large part to improper handling, Alaska now has approximately 60,000 reindeer whereas l5 years ago she had an estimated one million.
 Several years ago a law was en- acted whereby Alaskan reindeer were turned over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Teachers in the various Alaska Native Service Schools were put in charge of local supervision in seeing that only In dianS are allowed to use the ami malS.
 In the wild herds, the reindeer are often absorbed in the larger caribou herds that move East to Canada's feeding grounds, and are therefore lost to Alaska.
 Under proper handling the herds could be increased rather than de- creased, OhlsOn said. A natural in- crease should be 22 per cent each year.

naval and aerial power. The Pacific
"heart" consists of all those islands
which lie between Hawaii on the east
and the Palaus on the west, the equator
on the south and the northernmost of
the Marianas.
Around the circumference Of this
"heart" there must be 1,500-mile-
effective bombing range-belt which Is
politically and militarily neutraliZed with
no strong power controlling any terri
tory, maintaining any military forces
or exerting any substantial political in
fuence. The appearance OF any aggres-
sive power in this protective belt would
have to be countered by all diplomatic
means and ultimately military means II
peaceful measures failed.
The implications of this conception
of Americas Pacific strategy for Japan
are apparent. Communism must be re-
sisted to the utmost and Japan's re-
vival as a nation must be directed in
channels of close relationship with the
United States. The Japanese will find
in that relationship not only measure
of protection as an outpost of American
defense, but substantial assistance in
economic and social rehabilitation, for
a healthy pro-American Japan must be
internally sound.
~
Beyond political and military ma
neuvers in the Pacific Is the less ap-
parent purpose of tying the economic
future of the Pacific peoples to the eco
nomic future of the United States and
this must rest on foundation of healthy
international trade, with the United
States importing most of their surplus
materials. many of which are critical
for American economy and exporting 70
them the manufactures they lack.
The greatly expanded American trade,
besides serving to link America to all
the peoples of the Pacific, will be one
of the primary reasons for the extensive
defensive military and naval establish
ment we plan in the Pacific. Even If
no threat to American security arises in
the protective belt around the heart"
area, the American naval system will
have a reason for existence in the pro-
lection of American commerce. AS long
as traffic moves on the high seas the
United States Navy will have justifica-
tion-atonic bomb or no atomic bomb.
The greater the trade, the greater the
Navy it justifies.
We do not want to retain the Pacific
islands simply to deny their use to a
potential enemy That purpose would
be served by simple possession without
any great military naval establishment.
But there are positive reasons for their
possession, namely to prevent any power
which may be hostile to the United
States. or its way of life, from gaining
a foothold on the great ocean highway
which leads to Americas western front
door, and to protect the greatly ex-
panded commerce which Is America S

Since the election of Republican
Congress marks the substantial end OF
q political era, it Is good time to ap-
praise the consequences in economic as
well as in political affairs. The commit,
tees of the Senate and House, with their
enormous power over economic life, will
have Republican chairmen and Republic
can majorities. In the main, the chair
men will come from that part of the
country which stretches from Nebraska
to Maine. AS far as can be determined
now, they will be men of moderately con-
servative views. This probably means
a policy of financial retrenchment. It
labor over legislation will be materially
curtailed.
II the past is any indication of the
future, we shall move into an era Of
more stability in our economic life.
What happens at certain recurrent in
teryals in political history is that, due
to the expansion of the country or the
rise of new chronological processes or
the growth of certain economic groups,
q struggle for power on sectional or
group lines overturns the normal eco
nomic balance. This struggle goes on
until new balance Is achieved, and
then what may be called reign of law
prevails. This does not mean law in the
technical sense, but in the broader sense
of rough agreement on conditions and
relationships: under which sections and
groups deal with one another.
The era of the New Deal was marked
by big increase in the power OF labor.
It was also marked by the increase Of

Armistice Duy

The annual commemOratiOn OF
the end of the First World War will
continue as long as ordinary people
think and feel about it as they did
in 1918 and as they seemingly still
do in 1946. Nothing that has hap
pened in the past twenty-eight
years has changed the sorrow which
millions entertain for those who
fell in the struggle to end armed
strife. Neither has the gratitude
of multitudes for the sacrifice of
the honored dead altered. the
average American of the senior
generation believes that the defeat
of the Central Powers nearly three
decades ago was worth all that it
cost in lives and suffering. He
therefore goes to Arlington or to
some other hallowed shrine today
with a heart which mourns yet is
richly proud.
So shall 1t be in the discernible
future with respect to the second
global conflict which grew out Of
the first. The sons and the daugh-
ters of the veterans of the contest
with the Kaiser took part in the
successful endeavor to conquer the
Fuehrer who initiated and in some
regards excelled him in his effort
to dictate human destiny with a
sword. If these younger citizens
lack the unfaded memories of their
parents, they have recollections of
their own which prompt them to
hold in reverence November II. The
two groups are united in their
experience as well as in their
resultant ideals for freedom and for
peace.
Granted, there are differences
among ordinary people as to how
the desired goal may be achieved.
The Atlantic Charter and the San
Francisco Charter raised almost as
many questions as they sought to
answer. Not everybody understands
the intricacies of the proceedings
of the United Nations. Only a few
professional statesmen, international
jurists, can be expected to COM
prehend the trading, the compro-
misses, the concessions which plainly
are in progress between nations with
which the United States wishes to
be friends, but which equally
obviously have varying conceptions
of the obiectives sought. The riddle
of what to, do about the flssure of
the atom-a force so dynamic that
those who discovered it are leaders
in urging its outlawry-represents
a case in point. A solution must be
found, but as yet none of the plans
proposed has been effective in win
ming general support.
The infinite complications of
scores of vital problems admittedly
are frightening in their impact upon
sensitive human minds. Meanwhile,
a vast majority of Americans join
with similar masses in other coun-
tries near and far to demand Of
their agents and likewise of them
selves that a third world war shall
be prevented. No better use could
be made of Armistice Day this year
than to stress that tremendous,
compulsive requirement.

The Refugee Issue

With pertlnaclty Wortny OF Det-
ter cause, Soviet Russia and its
satellites continue to try and re-
write international law and usage
regarding the treatment of refugees.
From time immemorial, voluntary
exiles for political and religious
reasons have been either granted
asylum in foreign lands or the privi-
lege of temporary sojourn to some
other destination. Never, in modern
times, has any nation asserted the
right to recover it's refugee citizens
or sought to get other states to assist
such recovery by overt or yelled
coercion.
That, however, is just what the
Soviet Union, Poland, Yugoslavia
and other members of the Soviet
bloc have been trying to do ever
since the close of the late war. This
raised an issue involving literally
millions of persons whose aversion
to returning to their native lands
was so great that almost any other
fate was preferable. Those refugee
millions fell roughly into two cate
gories: Cd Active aiders of the Axis;
ca simple refugees. Most of the
first category were turned over to
the Soviets, amid narrowing scenes
wherein many killed or mutilated
themselves in order to escape antic-
ipated death or torture at Soviet
hands.
However, when it came to the re-
manning refugees, the western pow
ers stood on traditional standards.
Such persons were granted tenn
porary asylum and relief either
through the military occupational
authorities or through UNRRA, de-
spite repeated Soviet protests and
demands. It thus comes about that
some 100000 of these refugees are
in camps throughout the western
zone Of Germany, Austria and Italy,
while 100000 more, comprising the
refugee Polish armies which served
under the British during the war,
are mostly in Britain, undergoing
processing for civilian life.
An attempt is now being made
under the aegis of the United Ma
tions to resettle these refugee multi
tudes by means of an organization
known as IRO. That plan is being
hotly assailed by Soviet spokesmen,
who condemn it as q Fascist plot,

groups would finally bring things to
relative impasse.
It Is probable that labor leaders
with evidence now before them Of q
less sympathetic Congress, with a con-
siderable body of gains" already
achieved and with the revelation Of
the weakness of the PAC IN this elec-
tion-will find it harder to promote
strikes For it is clear that a great
number of union members joined the
protest vote. There will, Of course, be
plenty of tall talk by leaders. That
Is what their position seems to require.
But the force of their demands will be
limited by the attitude of their fol-
lowers and by their loss Of support In
Congress.
A regime which seems to be ap-
preaching the end always presents a
sad picture. The administration In the
next two years will be limited by Con-
gress and constantly haunted by the
threat of doom at the next presidential
election. It will be increasingly difficult
for the President to draw f1rst-rate
men into public Office. In periods like
1890 and 1892 people for the
most part accepted appointments in
Washington as temporary, leave-of-ab-
sence affairs. Now nearly every one
in Washington is trying to find employ
ment elsewhere. The net result is stag
nation and paralysis No programs are
developed and little initiative is left
In, the Executive.
All this may we'll be succeeded by the
growth of healthy and stable condi-
tions. Ultimately, after immediate un-
certainties are passed, more productive
ity, prosperity and stability may be
expected.

End of Controls

With the abandonment of virtu-
ally all price and wage controls, the
country now embarks upon what,
according to those of the Chester
Bowles school Of thought, is an invi-
. tation to economic disaster. AS was
the case, however, with other dire
prophecies, such as those foretelling
millions upon millions of unemployed
during the reconversion period, this
one will not materialize unless it is
forced upon us by reckless policies of
management or labor, or both.
There undoubtedly will be a fur
ther rise in the price level in the i'm
mediate future. But there is no
compelling reason why this should
be Of long duration or widespread in
character.
As the President pointed out in his
statement, both management and
labor have been calling for the lift
ing, respectively, of price and wage
controls. Businessmen and many
labor leaders contend that our sys-
tenn can function better in free
economy. So this is their opportun-
ity to demonstrate the fact. The es-
sential need now is for policies that
will preclude unwarranted price in
creases and crippling strikes. The
lifting of controls puts the decision
squarely up to management and
labor. Itthey are equal to the re-
straint which should be. exercised,
there will be no real danger from a
runaway imitation. If this restraint
Is not forthcoming, however, if goods
are priced beyond the reach of con-
sumers or If strikes are permitted to
cripple production, the worst may be
expected, and management and
labor will suffer with the rest of the
country.
Yet, despite this risk, it seems evi-
dent enough that the Presidents
decision was the right one. It was
perfectly clear that the patched-up
system of controls which has been
In effect was not working and could
not work. If anything, it was doing
. great deal more harm than good,
and 1t had little support among the
people. Mr.. Truman recognized
this when he said the plain truth
is that, under existing law, price
control had lost the popular support
needed to make 1t work. Obviously,
then, If the controls could not be
made to work, the only thing to do
was to abandon them. This is
gamble, perhaps, but certainly a
more promising one than would have
been a stubborn refusal to face the
facts and to attempt to prolong a
rehabilitation" program which, in
stead of stabilizing, was simply
harassing the national economy.

imperialistic exploitation, the de-
basement OF exiles' natural patriot
isn," and "basic violation Of hui
man rights" Indeed, countries like
Australia, Brazil and Canada, that
have offered. homes to some of these
unfortunates, are condemned by
Moscow as acting from unworthy
capitalistic motives.
Such fantastic charges are being
refuted by spokesmen of the western
nations. There is no likelihood that
the refugees will be either handed
over or indirectly coerced into a
return which they abhor. Yet the
stubborn insistence of the Soviet
bloc on this issue reveals another OF
those abysmal differences between
the totalitarian and democratic
worlds which it would be unwise to
minimize or ignore.
Evening star., 1946-11-11
u. N. and Propaganda

In an organization like the United
Nations occasional outbursts of
name calling or exchanges Of
violent charges are perhaps newt
able and need hardly cause undue
alarm. But if they become more
than occasional, if they become
characteristic of the U. Ms pro-
ceedings, then the effort to achieve
genuine world cooperation will fall
apart in an atmosphere full of
insults and mutual distrust.
This is the danger that British
Prime Minister Attlee had in mind
when he warned the other night
against making the United Nations
"a forum for debating theological
differences" The warning is timely
and to the point. The U. N. was
mot established to serve merely as
"a sounding board for the promotion
sof this or that party line. Its
primary purpose is to build and
maintain a lasting peace by securing
to all countries "the freedom to
preserve their own ways of life while
contributing to the common good
of the world"
In working toward such a goal,
of course, argument must be
expected, for If everybody agreed
on everything the u. N. itself would
scarcely be necessary. What has
troubled Mr.. Attlee, however-and
any number of other observers as
WELLS that the United Nations
has been tending toward a type OF
debate that is neither objective nor
ibusinesslike. In Mr.. Attlee's words,
There is obstruction, there are
propaganda attacks on f1imsy pre-
texts and variety of episodes" that
have placed the new world organiza-
ton in danger of falling into
disrepute instead of winning the
strength and confidence it must
have to succeed.
The shoe fits one country in
particular. Mr.. Attlee has not
named names, but Russia's failing in
this respect has been too obvious
to need singing out. The nature of
Soviet attacks on British imperial
ism" is well known. So also is the
nature of what Foreign Minister
Molotov and his subordinates have
had to say about the "Anglo-Amer-
lean bloc" dollar diplomacy"
"capitalistic warmongering," our
atomic blackmail," ETC., etc. In
-sfort, using the U. N. all too fire.
