Government Publishing
Washington Post

It appears that in the fiscal year ended June 30 the Department of Commerce received from the sale of it's numerous publications approximately S85o00 more than it cost to have them published The gross receipts from the departments publishing activities were something like $9O0oo0 and this year will prob ably go well above million. It would be dn interesting though somewhat complicated labor determine what the situation of the other departments in this re- spect seeing that the Governments publishing opera tions have reached such enormous proportions and have been extended into many fields
 As this gigantic publishing business continues to expand as it almost certainly will there will be two antithetcal dangers On one side the cost may pres cny become intolerable the other side Government publications may become profitable enough to become
 very serious threat private publishing Since Gov ernment publications now include virtually every subject matter under heaven and since each depart ment in addition to vast variety of research men and other technical experts has in it's employ regiment of writers and editors, it is capable any other publisher of presenting information in an attractive and popularly acceptable manner. But an invasion by the Government of the field of textbooks publishing could not fail to have tremendous consequences political and religious well economic
 To be sure, none of the Government departments or agencies with the possible exception of the Office of War Information, has shown any disposition to enter such fields; the example of the Army and Navy which preferred to buy rights to existing text books rather than to prepare their is reaSsurlng Nevertheless the intellectual physical equip technical experience necessary to the tion of great and profitable publishing cartel are available to any government that might wish to make use of them, and a government desperate for new sources of might strongly tempted to do
 No one, of course would suggest that peri odicais like the Foreign Commerce Weekly the Con- gressonal Record and the Federal Register are any threat to private enterprise the freedom of the press Nevertheless if it to a point of direct competition between the Government and pri- vate publishers there could be doubt about the outcome For this it will be necessary, sooner or later to define the of publishing in which the Government may appropriate engage

enough. Even without the paralyz- ing veto" they have failed. For peace is not to be found in treaties alone, peace must rest on a new spirit Of cooperation, new spirit of friendship, new determination to build for peace. That determin- ation is present in the hearts Of men, but not always among their government-especially certain gov ernments which seem to think they will slip from power unless theil people are stirred up against bo- gus foreign enemy.
 Peace, I repeat, does not come from a union among nations. Il comes from an understandins among people. And there can bt no understanding when people art separated one from the other.

 Once again disaster is sweeping upon us and you, sedate and SOL emn, sit oblivious to that fact.
 Look around you, gentlemen. The countryside is still bleeding; hu- manity is bleeding. Have you mo- ticed how few the pregnant women on the streets of Paris? Have you noticed the old men tilling the fields of France? The young gen. eration has vanished. France can not stand another war. Civilization cannot stand another war. It will be the end.

PEACE RESTS ON PEOPLE

Every war is followed by pro- posals for international peace. Dur ing the wars of religion in the 18th century, Pierre Dupois said, Let us have a union of European prime es, with a council, a court, and col lective action to enforce peace" In 1923, Emeric Cruce sought freedom of trade, a world court and world union The Grand Design of Hen ry " was as hopeful as your Unit ed Nations William Penn, Abbe Saint Pierre, Jean Jacques Rous- seau, Jeremy Bentham, Immanuel Kant-all proposed plans for world peace.
 These things have been tried and tried again. They have never been

GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT

The dream of new modern Juneau Memorial Library is slowly but surely being rushed toward reality All of the civic patriotic professional and service clubs and organizations are cooperating in series of fund raising programs which deserve the support of every person in Juneau.
 Here is fine example of working together for the benefit of all. The present library is housed in in adequate quarters Many communities far smaller and less prosperous than Juneau support fine libraries This is a project not only for the youngsters, but for the adults well The reading of books is universal among all ages.

 ernor. That means nine out of 13 pro-labor Senators fell by the way side Other Senators consider this significant. It is one reason why a lot of them will lean anti-labor in the next Congress. Phil Mur- ray, who planned to resign as head of the CIO at the CIO National Convention in Atlantic City, now will stay on.

COP FARM PROSPECTS

Now that the elections are over, the American farmer, like the lab oring man, would like to know what is in store for him in the new GOP-controlled Congress. Here is Merry -Go-Round forecast Of what will happen:
 There will be no major change in the Governments farm pro- gram for the next two years. part ly because the coalition of Republi- cans and Southern Democrats will remain in the drivers seat.
 However, you will hear the same hue and cry for parity prices on farm products in order to make them conform with higher living costs, and the first move will be to increase the price of potatoes.
 There is a tremendous potato surplus this year, and though a considerable portion of the crop has been diverted to animal feed and alcohol, potato producers are protesting that they are receiving far below parity prices. Further more potatoes are COP crop from the rock-ribbed Republican state of Maine and the recently voted Republican state of Idaho. Spuds, therefore, will get relief.
 The new Congress also will en-, act a law coordinating soil con- servation functions now handled by the Soil Conservation Service, the Field Service branch of the Pro- duction and Marketing Admins tration the Extension Service of the Department of Agriculture and other agencies.
 Congress will vote similar CO., ordination Of all agencies engaging in iarm credit including: The Farm Credit administration, the Federal Land Banks, intermediate credit banks and the Farmers Home Administration. This means that all farm credit functions will be taken out from under the Demo- cratic Secretary of Agriculture and will be administered by an inde- pendent board which, of course, will include several Republicans.

ANOTHER COLONIZATION?

According to a report from Washington, another plan is underway for colonzng Alaska with European refugees-lOoO00 to 15OO0O of them. Just what this many would do in Alaska today isn't explained.
 Would they farm? The National Resources Com
 ittee in report several years ago stated that soil and climatic conditions in Alaska such that no embracing economy can be developed principally upon an agricultural basis" This report also cautions against comparing Alaska with the Scandinavian countries in support of argument that Alaska can support much larger population. Soil and climatic conditions are different as are the economic and social settings.
 It is very likely that this winter will see great deal of unemployment Alaska in spite of the fact that wages are at atme highs and labor seems scarce in many industries. Much of the unemployment will be seasonal as usual-but it is problem that could become major if we had a population double our present.
 Alaska does not have the employment opportunities for 900 workers let alone l50O00 All over Alaska today men are being laid off jobs brought to end by the shipping strike and shortages of materials The mines are still out of business. The fishing industry can employ few than at present.

Our Farms Are Disappearing

A recent dispatch from Washington reviewed the industrial revolution American farms, the trend toward complete mechanization which is making farm CTS operations productive and profitable
 New plant varieties such hybrid corn, new tech niques and the two million tractors put into since the start of the war have added 30 per to the nations food production in the last five years.
 But the long range problem of American agricul- ture the agriculture of the world for that matter not going be solved by labor-saving machinery alone, by the ability of to till the acres that required the work of 10 men few decades ago

Iennett chief of the United States Soil Conservation Service warned the optmiss the other day in an address before the Friends of the Land, national conservation group, which meeting in Omaha. In the United States, he said 282 million acres of crop and grazing land have been ruined and ITS million have been allowed to erode degree. There only 460 million of good crop land left he warned, and four-fifths of them must be carefully handled they will decline productivity the nations population and food de- rnands continue to increase
 It is exaggeraton to say that the fate of Am erican civilization hinges the ability to conserve our remaining soil resources Thus the measure.

BRAINS DON'T MATTER

First test O. seniority may come il Senator Joe Ball of Minnesota attempts to leap-frog over Yer mont's George Aiken as Chairman of the Senate Education and Labor Committee. This happens to be one case where the man with the seniority Aiken - is thoroughly qualified for the job
 Ball, on the other hand, is brand cd by both AFL ard CIO as the friend of U. S. Steel" Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon, who had a fine record on the War Labor Beard, might also be picked as Chairman of the Labor Committee should seniority be cast aside.
 If seniority prevails, chairman ship of the highly important new National Defense Committee tmerg- ing the Military Affairs and Naval Affairs Committees will go to Senator Chan Gurney Of South Dakota, brass-hat bellboy. Sena- tors Charles Totey of New Hamp- shire or Owen Brewster of Maine, both abler men, would be logical choices over Gurney if brains were considered important.

cedure marked forward step in the possible outawing of Certain quarters have scoffed at this view, taking the rather astounding view that there is thing decadent about trying and punishing group of conspirators who plunged the world into the most terrible in the history of civilization.
 It is, think, decidedly grotesque to contend that Hitlers gang should not be tried and punished charge of conspiring to aggressive warfare because there not international statute book with specific law the subject at the time the offense committed The Kellogg pact, of course, being international law the subject could be had, and even had there been law" passed by the League Nations could just easily be argued suppose, that the Hitler gang not covered by such a law because Germany member of the league and did honor it's authority
 AS a matter of fact, fundamental justice and morality not mere creatures of laws Thousands of murders were committed in this world dare say before a legal authority created to pass law saying that murder should be punishable. Were the first murders therefore, not crimes? Of course they crimes and it is reasonable to that punishment meted out for such an offense long before legastic procedure perfected
 Our view is that beginning has to be made some time the practical definition of aggressive warfare a crime for which the responsible individuals can be punshed-and what better beginning point could have been found than with the Hitler gang? The world has known a clearer of deliberate, against civilization And, frankly we're somewhat less concerned about the legalstic ncees in dealing with men who deserve to die dozen times than in deterring if possible. another such visitation upon mankind And if the aggressions of the Nazs had gone unpunished the Kaiser's aggression, the effect would have bred disrespect for inter- national justice and morality.
