After 10 months Of discussion the
Russian representatives In the u. N.
Security Councils military stan pulled
the teeth which the fathers Of the San
Francisco charter planned to put into
the u. N. by creating military force
capable of intervening at moments
notice In any area where threat Of
war might arise.
One Of the most important improve-
ments Of the U. N. over the old League
of Nations was the creation Of q military
machine intended to force any peace
breaker into submission. Those who
were skeptical last year about the ef-
fectiveness Of the U. N. as an instru-
ment for war prevention always received
the answer that the new international
organization would be ready to send
its land, sea and air forces to any dis
turbed area on short notice. 1t was
pointed out that the Security Council
was to sit permanently and would have
an international army at its disposal
to enforce its decisions. Now 1t seems
that this essential enforcement arm
of the Council Is unlikely to come into
being.
Representatives Of the Chiefs Of Stan
of the American, British, French, Soviet
and Chinese armed forces have been
sitting in closed sessions for nearly q
year. They sought the best means to
organize an international force on an
equitable basis. They took into consid-
Grafton logistics and the greatest mil
itary potential Of each country. In order
to arrive at some arrangement whereby
quotas for the interested powers could
be established.
The work Of these high-ranking mill
tary, naval and air officers has been
tedious. 1t has been surrounded by
great deal of secrecy, principally to pre-
vent the public from knowing that there
was even greater dissension among the
military stats of the Big Five than
among their political leaders.
Finally reports were made available
to the public showing that the Soviet
military representatives opposed the
ALLEGATION Of specific military forces In
advance Of any crisis in which the use
OF force may be deemed inevitable.
The Russian stand was dictated by
political motives, while that Of the
other representatives took into con-
sideration purely military factors.
Tho American military stan desired
blue prints for . permanent interna-
rional force which would be ready to
intervene promptly after the Security
Council ordered 1t to do 50. From the
military point of view this is the only
way to handle critical situation.
Our viewpoint was supported by the
other nations, except Russia, which

This is just to keep the record little
straighter than Garrett Baxter's letter,
fayoring the transfer of the Ruhr
to France. printed in your paper on
October 8.
Mr.. Baxter is begging the issue when
he states that ut Is fact that the
Germans have always been aggressors
In European disorders and warfare from
the earliest period of time to the pres
ent--" Is this fact? A complete refutal Of
such statement would require the
pages of history books. suggest that
The Star readers do some reading OF
ancient, medieval and modern history
before accepting Mr.. Baxters main
statement. Meanwhile, viii be con-
tent to just speak of the over-simplifed
historical logic which Mr.. Baxter used
to prove his statement.
In an attempt to relate the habits
of the German barbaric tribes Of an
cient history with the Germany Of to-
day, Mr.. Baxter says: Julius Caesar
did not cross the Rhine twice merely
for pleasure but to chastise the aggres-
sions of the barbaric Germans" Thus
he makes the mighty conqueror and
empire builder, Julius Caesar. sound like
an heroic defender Of poor helpless
Roman empire. But who really were
the conquerors and dictators in those
days? Not the Germans but the Romans!
ss In his second logical point, Mr.. Baxter
states that Charlemagne did not light
for the mere pleasure OF fighting. II
was to chastise them tthe Germans) for
their. ageressions." aa 4
v But Charlemagne. who conquered the
Lombards and the Saxons and is known
for completing the Germanization Of the
Roman empire. was German himself
Then Mr.. Baxter refers, In his third
logical point to Napoleon, saying: Ma
poleon did not make war on the Germans
because he wanted to tight them. He
fought them because they had con-
spired against the liberties Of France
But since when was the dictator de-
fender Of the rights Of Frenchmen?

on the editorial page OF The Star OF
October 7, by Bertram Benedict, en-
titled "A Youthful Court" In said
article, 1t is set forth that Chief Justice
White had held no public ONCE prior

of the United States. The fact is, that
Edward Douglass White served about
three years of his elected term in the
United States Senate, just preceding his
appointment as an associate justice OF
said court. His outstanding ability as
q lawyer and the eminent service rem
dered by him in the Senate, probably
were important factors leading to his

White was appointed Chief Justice OF

Pleads for Larger Greek Quota
II proxyo;l;n6 Eunardnncv


In Prevailing Emergency
To the Editor Ct The Star:
'Open Americas gates to her heroic
Hellenic friends and allies" This Is the
humanitarian appeal Of friends Of Greece
who are asking the Attorney General
to recommend and the Congress Of the
United States to enact q Law which win
raise by q minimum Of 1000 the pitifully
inadequate and grossly unfair quota OF
immigrants allowed to come from
Greece
Under the present so-called National
Origin Law" worked out In 1924, the
Greek quota of immigrants is only 307.
and 1t already is oversubscribed by
desperate Hellenes for many years to
come. Thus, unless the Department OF
Justice suggests to Congress to change
the law and Congress effects such q
change, thousands of Hellenes legally
will be barred from America and the
outstanding contributions economic,
political and cultural--which they other
wise might have made. will be Cancelled.
1t is pointed out, too, that many un-
fortunate Greeks who Illegally entered
the United States because of their in
ability to acquire legal quota numbers,
but have lived In our country for many
years as law-abiding. hard-working
Americans, may be sent back to the land
Of their origin because Of the exhausted
legal quota. Such deportations, In addi-
tion to being cruel hardship on them
because they have been so clearly
assimilated and Americanized, would
upset many of their business and public
activities In our country with regrettable
consequences to American communities
Once they arrived in the stricken land
Of, their birth, the deportees severely
would overtax the already strained
facilities there vitality needed by the
war-ravaged population In the deyas-
tated land.

 Accompanying him on this part of the trip was w. Garter, Indian Agent at Billings. who explained that the Flat Head Indians in that section of the country still partici- pated in ceremonial dances during which they killed buffalo from the herd maintained by the Govern ment for Indian use. It was due to 8 rumor that too many buffalo were being killed off that he made the aerial inspection of the herd Both he and O'Connor took pie lures of the buffaloes and the scenery. The plane also flew over Clusters Battlefield.
 At Seattle the Gruman Goose was left for overhauling and will be flown here later. O'Connor made the trip. from Seattle to Juneau by Coast Guard Cutter, leaving a week ago last Saturday and arriving here last Sunday morning The boat was held up at Port Angeles to await 40 Coast Guard recruits who were being transported to the Westward.
 Besides his sixteen years of ser vice in. tLe enforcement of Alaska's game laws, O'Connor has worked as a miner, as deputy marshal, Chief of Police in Fairbanks, and in other various capacities.
