Cynicism In France Says Pastor

Tn France there is cynicism abroad in the land stated the Rev John c. Walker Second Congrega- tional Church pastor yesterday morning in his sermon, Religion is a Forced Option
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 Since my return from my summer sojourn abroad, many people have asked me about progress in recon struction in the various countries we have visited. On more than one occasion I have voiced misgivings with regard to France and Italy. Outwardly considerable progress seems to have been made but there is something you sense that is wrong about these countries In France, there is cynicism aboard in the land. As late as Friday I saw a provocative title on the cover of magazine, Has France Been Saved?" I was morally certain be- fore I turned up those pages and read that story that the answer would be No" This writer, Paul Hutchinson, was in a position to speak with some authority. He re- ports that the food crisis has pass ed, that there are short rations but no danger of starvation There is no serious unemployment and there is a good harvest in prospect. Yet there is little confidence, either at home or abroad, with regard to the future of France Why?
 Well, here is one answer. A young Frenchman says, Frances trouble is a matter of morals and morale" A great many Frenchmen continue to cheat and circumvent and un- demine public authority. That may have been patriotic in the days of Vichy but 1t is fatal now. So Paul Hutchinson says France has been saved from the Germans. She has been saved, at least for the time be- ing, from starvation, from unem- ployment, from danger of invasion. But she has not been saved from political responsibility, from a dis solving public morality and shrinking public morale. She has not been saved from herself. To be saved from herself she must regain a living religious faith" France is nominally a Christian country but the estimate is that not more than 6,O00O00 out of 40,000,000 French people are practising Christians.

STRIKES
 At A Glance
NEW YORK,

Idle in labor disputes total 775,000, the lowest in more than a month. Major developments:
 Automotive-The Senate inves- tigation of the 108-day General Motors strike, as well as the causes of the labor disputes is proposed, as Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach hints at some sort of new government action toward settling the long walkout of the 175,000 General Motors workers.
 Railroads - Awaiting President Truman's naming of a fact-find- ing committee is delaying a walk out of nearly 3O0,0OO workers for from 30 to 60 days.
 Coal - Bituminous coal opera tors say the ruling of the New York NLRB that supervisory em- ployees are entitled to full union membership indicated a prolonged battle. Lewis, mine workers pres ident will be in contract negotia- tions opening Tuesday.
 Comunications-The optimistic feeling for the end of the threat of a telephone strike has vanished as union officials say that unless wage demands are met by tonight the strike will be called.
 The street car and bus service of the Louisville, Ky, Railway Co.,, will be tied up at midnight tonight, unless wage demands are met.

Governors Message To Extra Session

The sudden and unexpectedly early ending of the war, less than five months after the adjourn ment of the 17th Territorial As sembly, has made the calling of this special session both desirable and necessary. The nation in gen eral and Alaska no less in partic- ular, are confronted with pressing problems which require attention. In the case of Alaska, the Solu- tion of some of these problems could not wisely be delayed until the regular session of 1947.
 The call for this special session was issued both in response to public demand, a demand chiefly relating to tuberculosis, and be- cause it also seemed to me neces- sary, both on account of the tu- berculosis emergency and because of the need for action in behalf Of our veterans.
 So in the call, those two main subjects were emphasized for your consideration: Tuberculosis and Veterans Legislation, and also a revision of our highway traffic laws.

Educational Provisions
 For Veterans

No less important than the loan ing provisions of the G.I. Bill of Rights, are the educational provi- sions. Under these, the Federal Government permits the returned veteran either to return to school or college and complete his unfin- ished education, or to secure addi- tional education, technical train ing, or training of any kind, that will better fit him for the battle of life. These provisions of the Fed eral Government have been wide ly applauded and acclaimed. They give the returning boy or girl the opportunity to secure this train ing, equivalent in length to the time they have spent in the Serv- ice. They provide that the tuition be paid by the Federal Govern ment, and an allowance of $65 a month is made for single students and $90 a month for married.
 The difficulty, however, is that many of our educational inStitu- tions are already filled up to ca pacity. In many cases, they can not take care of the students who feel themselves legitimately en- titled, either by residence or otherwise, to go to such institu- tions. The applicant from another State or Territory is definitely ex- cluded. The returning Alaskan c. l., looking for fulfillment of his educational opportunities, will be able to find them if at all, only in Alaska. Unfortunately, he cannot get them here in Alaska either. The limited facilities of our excel lent University of Alaska near Fairbanks, will be crowded to ca pacity when the Fall term begins. What, then, is to become of our returning veterans who wish to take advantage of this education al opportunity?

Health Legislation and Appropriations

It is pretty we'll know to all of Us how serious is our tuberculosis situation in the Territory. The in cidence of tuberculosis in Alaska is approximately eight times greater than in the United States. The reason for acting now is that certain facilities, Army and Navy hospitals and medical supplies, are available for the first time, provided we move to take advan- tage of them, and to hospitalize our tuberculous patients in them.
 will not detain you at this time, therefore, with a detailed discussion of this vital problem. The Territorial Commissioner of Health will be available for that purpose. The program presented for your consideration calls for an amendment to existing laws con- corning the care of tuberculous persons and an appropriation of S25O,OOO.

Veterans Legislation-Loans
 And Bonuses

No greater responsibility con- fronts the Territorial Legislature at this special session than to take constructive action in behalf of our war veterans Alaska remains the only State or Territory in the Union that has, so far, passed no Veterans Legislation. Other states and territories began passing such legislation four years ago. At each ~ successive legislative session, their legislators have added to it, until now, a great body of legislation, designed to assist our returning boys (and girls), has become law.
 The reasons for such legislation are obvious. Under the C.. I. Bill of Rights passed by the Congress, much well-designed and well-in- tended legislation is, because of local conditions, virtually inoper- ative. It needs implementation by States and Territories to make it workable and practically benefi- cial. Without such supplementary
