THE CHANGING COURSE OF FOREIGN
 TRADE

Overseas trade of the United States throughout this year will be marked by many irregularities. few days ago, for instance, the Department of Com merce reported that exports in April were $57000OOO below those of March, while imports had risen $22,- 100000 in the same month. Overseas shipments of merchandise this country will consist for some time not only of ordinary commercial exports, but also of lease-end goods and of cargoes sent over by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Adminis- tration Though ease-lend trade officially ended in August 1945 yet it's influence on current export figures continues to be considerable. In April alone 900 in easeland goods went abroad, but this was drop of 30 per cent from those of March, while the total of all exports fell off only per cent. By value lease-lend goods still account for more than 10 per cent shipments They consist of supplies for which contracts made before official term mation of lease-lend operations
 Predictions about the course of United States foreign trade in the next few years difficult to make because an entirely policy is being devised to replace the procedure followed in the 1930s to

promote export business. conference Of sixteen nations has been scheduled for next year The lnten- ton is to present at that meeting master trade pact which may replace most of the American trade agree ments made separately with twenty-five countries since 1884 President Truman has appointed committee of business to a foreign trade advisory board. Forecasts of the export business which may be obtanabe in the next few years have ranged from $7000 100000 to $1OOOOOOOO annually.
 It now seems obvious that much of Europe, the Orient and Latin America will endeavor to ship into our rich markets as large quantity of merchandise as this country absorb There will most surely be steady demand abroad for American goods of many kinds As lease-lend shipments taper off. and relief cargoes to be necessary, much of the old trade rivalry will be revived It is imperative that although America should strive for share of this foreign trade the size of domestic business shall always be kept in sight to the balance wheel of national economy. In the twelve months ended in April retail trade in the United States exceeded $79 $40 900 000a nearly eight times greater than the most optimistic forecast far made of available export business.

Shady Stuff from WaIlace's Agency
(NeW York Sum


 In comment few days ago on statistics issued by the Department of Commerce showing that spot prices of basic commodities increased 25 per cent in the first fortnight after the end of price control, this paper said that the presumption that the sta- tistics by themselves were factual statement. The Baltimore Sun, by exploring the background of the figures, casts doubt the honesty with which even these facts treated Among commodities covered by the figures silk, which went up 140 per cent after the end of the price control This sharp rise naturally raised the average for other commodities
 But please consider how this rise was brought about. Prior to the end of price control June 30 silk was $3o8 a pound, the OPA ceiling Quotations on July l2 and later $4.76 a pound. But the only sale of silk to establish this price made to the silk trade by the Reconstruction Finance poration, Federal agency And the price set was mingled with other prices in such fashion to imply that with the end of price control private enterprise went hog wild for higher prices
 This is the same Department of Commerce that issued statistics last fall to indicate that the auto mobile companies could increase wages by per cent without increasing prices, and, after the strike was over, disowned its own statistics merely little experiment in mathematics.
 Little wonder that A. Ford Hnrchs, who recently resigned as Acting Commissioner of Labor Statistics, expressed fear that somebody might be appointed to that job who would twist statistics to make them match political motives.

CRUSADER FOR PEACE

I have known Dr. Evatt good many years-ever since he came to Washington shortly after Pearl Harbor to plead with Roosevelt for more help for his beleaguered country. And I have always won- dered why it should fall to the lot of an obscure Australian to become one of the worlds great crusaders for peace. Searching through Evatt's life, there are some significant signposts noted. In the first place, his older brother was killed in World War 1 and EVatt, ever since, has dedicated his life to stamping out the seeds of war. But perhaps even more important, you find zealots passion for protect ing the common man runs all through Evatt's life. His books some of them pretty dry reading are largely devoted to the rights of man One book, The King and His Dominion Governors" d e m n d s that the Dominions be protected from abuses by the crown in times of social crisis. Another, Injustice Within the Law" shows how the courts can be used to victimize la Dor. Evatt also has advocated that an American Bill of Rights be writ ten into the Australian Constitu- ton while one of his books, Rum Rebellion" virtually says, as did Thomas Jefferson, that sometimes a little rebellion can be a healthy thing
 At any rate, Evatt has spent a good part of his life rebelling. At 63, he was the youngest member of the Australian Supreme Court ever appointed. But during the late war, Evatt, like Jimmie Byrnes got tired of the rarefied atmoS- phere of the Supreme Court and resigned to run as Labor mem- Der of the Australian Parliament He has held two Cabinet jobs ever since-Attorney General and Min ister of External Affairs.
 Actually. the latter job didn't amount to a hill of beans before Evatt took it over Australia's ex- ternal affairs were handled by Lon- don. Today, however, Eyatt has made Australia's external affairs not only very much her own but has elevated them to a place where

WOMEN FRANCHISES
 STARTING SERVICES
 HERE TUESDAY NIGHT

Tomorrow evening, in the Amerl-. can Legion Dugout, the Misses Rose Stephens and Cora Horton plan to hold the first of a series of Evan gelistic services.
 Miss Stephens, of California, who has been carrying on this work in the States arrived here recently. Miss Horton, who has spent some time in Kodiak, the Matanuska Valley and Cordova, joined her here.
 They state they plan to continue these services on each Tuesday and Thursday evening, at 7:45 o'clock for a time.
 "The Services are Non-Sectarian in character and are being held solely for the purpose of winning souls for Christ" the Evangelist stated.
 The story of Gods simple plan of Salvation will be unfolded night after night. We urge you not miss chapter of it."

BATTLES FOR SMALLER
 NATIONS

The Australian is the only dele gate who has consistently and sometimes disagreeably reminded the Big Four that this Peace Con- ference was not called merely to serve as a rubber stamp for their efforts. At the second lenary ses- siCn, EVatt, painstaking lawyer, dug up many embarrassing quotes from earlier statements by the Big Four's representatives.
 The conference is convoked in order to make Improvements or changes in the drafts" Evatt quot ed Molotov as saying in London otherwise, conferences are not necessary"
 Thus does the indefatigable For eign Minister of Australia battle for the nations which have the most to lose when war comes, the most to win by permanent peace. He firmly believes that, if the views of the smaller nations prevail at Paris, mankind may have a real chance of bringing order out of this disordered world
 We cannot says Evatt, accept the cynical view that history must, of necessity, repeat itself. I for one refuse to believe that wars are necessary"

LEADER ACA.>@ sOyIETs

At Paris, Evatt has become the real leader of the anti-Soviet bloc Molotov hates him, and makes no effort to conceal his scowls when ever Evatt speaks If Jimmie Byrnes and Doc Evatt played closer ball together, their teamwork would be hard to beat. But they don't al ways cooperate. One case where they did was when Poland proposed that it sit on the commission to write the Hungarian peace treaty. Belgium's sleepy chairman, Paul. Henri Spaak, was about to OK. the proposal when Evatt jumped up.
 Now, just minutep he said. We voted yesterday that nations not at war with enemy countries should not sit on commissions to write the peace with those coun- tries. And yesterday Poland voted that such countries could not sit. But today Poland wants to make an exception of itself and sit on the Hungarian commission, even though she was not at war with Hungary If we make an exception in Poland's case, I don't know where we are going to stop"
 Molotov rose to champion Poland and while he was speaking Evatt leaned over and whispered to Byrnes, Why don't you say some thing about this?" Byrnes took the hint and opposed Polands sitting on the Hungarian commission. As result, Poland withdrew her re- quest.

COUNCIL HAS BUSY BUT SHORT MEETING

The City Council held a regu- lar meeting Monday night in the City Hall. The first order of busi- ness taken up was the proposed "steel-piling bulkhead" for the property on the south side of Nome bordering on Boring Sea. The proposal was made by Cor don Wildes, field representative for the Sommers Construction Co.,, who were drawing up the plans preparatory to offering a proposal to the several property holders in the area.
 The council was asked to par ticipate in the project, inasmuch as the city street, Lanes Way, is included in the area. The few thousand dollars which the city would have to pay would be put up to the citizens on the ballot in the coming election, either as an expenditure or as an abandon ment of the portion of street in question, .so that the property could be sold.
 Block 109 lots, numbered 1, through 10, were sold to Carl Glavinovich, Walter Glavinovich, Frank Love and Robert Long, for $150.OO.
 The garage and real estate of the MacDougall estate was sold to the highest bidder, w. w. (ChieD Laws, for $701.00.

CHAMBER ELECTS NEW OFFICERS

<ht hiCctlIiS Ol Illc SlldIiiDcI VI Commerce held last night in the Wien Airlines office, M. s. Duke) Mitrovich was elected president; H. F. Harper, vice president; Richard Webb, treasurer; and Mrs. Helen Bockman secretary, for the coming year.
 After a thorough round of dis cussions and exchange of ideas it was moved to hold a noon lunch con of the chamber on Wednes- day, and to invite all the legisla- tors of the Second Division to be present so that the chairmen of the various chamber projects could state the urgent need for proper legislation.
 At the noon luncheon quite a number of members and visitors were present, including Senators Cochran and Scott, and Repre- sentatives Anderson and Porter.
 Vice president Harper, former chairman of the roads committee, gave brief resume of the vital need for roads in the Second Di- vision for the expansion of min ing.
 Richard Webb outlined the avi- ation program with the emphasis on the completion of two fields at Kotzebue and Haycock.
 A. Polet reported for the har- bor-waterfront and fisheries com mittee, stating that inasmuch as all the necessary information had been reported favorably by the federal agencies concerned in the various projects, the present leg islature should memorabilia the Congress of the United States to appropriate the necessary funds to complete the surveys and projects.
 President Mitrovich stated. in the absence of chairman Frank Bingham, that the legislature would obtain for the Second Di- vision, the several federal offices which are required to efficiently handle the needs of the Division, namely: welfare, public health, unemployment compensation, U. s. employment service, and vet erans bureau.
 Paul Dryden, representing the veterans of the Second Division, spoke briefly in favor of opening branch office of the Veterans Bureau in Nome, to handle the needs of the many veterans in the Division, rather than force them to do all of their business by mail to some foreign" office.
 The legislators each spoke briefly about the coming session and that they would do their level best to pass the necessary leois-
