U. N. Diplomats Depart For Home; Work Finished

Continued From Page One policy and the diminishing of Sov- jet suspicious. Delegates agreed generally that U. $. Secretary of States James F. Byrnes contrib uted greatly to this by disclosing voluntarily the number and posi- ton of American troops on for eign soil-information that Russia fought unsuccessfully to have ev- cry nation give to the U. N.
 This advancement in United Nations relations was keynoted by Warren R. Austin, chief of the U. S. delegation in the closing hours of the session.
 Starting with the ink and pa per charter" Austin told fellow delegates, i've progressed from positive disagreement and skepti- cism as to the solution of the great problems confronting us to new ly discovered harmony-to almost unanimous agreement. I think that we have established the essen tial reality of the United Nation"
 Similar sentiments were expres- sed from klieg-lighted rostrom by Secretary-General Trygve Lie and assembly president Paul Henri Spaak of Belgium at the dramatic finale.
 Most delegates agreed that the importance of the assembly was emphasized by the fact that Russia had sent her top-flight diplomats to the session-Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky and Andrei A. Gromyko.
 Behind the delegates as they hurried home today for the Christ mas holidays was a job that in pure paper work alone staggered the imagination. The record to- tailed ASIA documents, 33,O86 pages, 19,532,784 words.

Australian Tells Of His Beheading

TOKYO, (P) - An Australian soldier who lived to crawl from his jungle grave told the interna- tional war crimes tribunal today how the Japanese had botched the job of beheading him.
 Testimony of the witness, Colin Fleming Brien, 23, of Sydney, oponed the final phase of the pros ecution's long case against 27 wartime Japanese leaders. The trial began last June 3.
 Brien said he was taken to a clearing in jungles near Singapore early in 1922, was told in English: You are going to meet your God, '" and was forced to sit on the edge of his grave, blindfolded and with his wrists tied behind him. A Jap anese officer, sword in hand, pushed Brien's head forward, then
 After a few seconds, I felt a heavy, dull blow on the back of my neck. I fell over on my right side, then lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I was lying at the bottom of the grave underneath some wooden palings and clods of earth. I had a large wound in the back of my neck, and was covered with blood"
 He said he never had been given any form of trial, nor been charg- ed with any offense.
 With his feet, he dislodged the earth piled upon him, Brien testi- fled and struggled from the grave Eventually he reached Singapore, only to be imprisoned by Japanese until the end of the war.
 Australia's prosecutor, MT. Jus tice Alan James Mansfield of Queensland named wartime Pre- mier Hideki Tojo and II other de- fendants responsible for atrocities against Allied prisoners of war and internees.

JAPAN OUTGUESSED US

Even five years later, when Franklin Roosevelt and Admiral Leahy tried to induce the nine power pact signatories and our State Department appeasers to blockade Japan, we could have pre- vented the Pacific war.
 But Japan knew the power of our isolationist Chicago Tribunes and Washington Times-Heralds. She knew also the deceptive diplomacy of the British Foreign Office. And little by little the Japs captured the resources of all China, then of Indo-China until they had built up an empire which required four years to defeat.
 World strategy has not changed since then The same thing is also true of Russia. If she gets away with her first aggressive step in Turkey; or if she annexes Iran, , she will probably get away with the other aggressive steps, until

PULP MILL OPPORTUNITY

One of the important problems as far as Southeast Alaska is concerned the development of our timber rcsourccs-is going to get a helping hand from the Interior Department as a result of the first hand information gained during the recent visit of Secretary ct the Interior Julius A Krug
 The Secretary pledged the efforts of his depart rent m areamning the red tape which is now hinder ine any such development It is common knowledge thai the proposition of establishing or more pulp mills iy Southeast Alaska may be only a matter of short time. Large interests from the States have spent as much $25OOOO in research and engineering investigations looking toward this goal The price of newsprint is high today and the supply is limited. There is shortage everywhere. Now is one of the most advantageous times.
 The importance of such development to South cast Alaska cannot be overestimated It would mean new industry more employment, and more important, year round employment.
 Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzeman, working under the Department of Agriculture, has been work
 ing for years on this He very enthusiastic about the possibilities today New aid from the Department of the Interior will help great deal in putting it over. And all Alaskans should offer their cooperation.

American Economic Association. Presumably that ap- proval was sought and obtained for Cague is mem Der of both groups.
 Selection of the man to rup the Bureau ot Labor Statistics is of special importance because Of the cost of-iving index issued by this bureau. Statistics ought to be free from pressure bias Dr. Isadore Luoln years sought to keep them that way, as dld ms successor as acting commissioner, A. Ford HInrlchs But labor organizations which were dissatisfied Wlth the BLS index because it did not support thelr de- mands for pay increases in wartime made It lmpos- sble for Hinrichs to obtain nomination as permanent commissioner These organizations reported to be satisfied with the choice of Cague. This in itself IS no indication that there is anything improper about the selection Clague worked in the bureau for few years twenty years ago and after variety of jobs in the fields of social service and statistics joined the Social Security Board in 1886 At the time of bis nomination he was in charge of the Bureau of Elm poyment Security His experience is such as to qualify him for the new job, but experience is not the only required qualification in an executive who is bound to shape the course of vital statistical index.

Expanding Supplies
(NeW York Times)


 Industrial production in June reached post war high. For many items which were not in produc- ton during the war the output has reached level equal 10 above the pre-war rate. Illustrations include washing machines radios, vacuum cleaners and gas ranges. Other types of consumers durable goods particularly automobiles still fall short of the pre-war rate of production mainly because Of the coal steel, and automobile strikes.
 Although production in many cases has expanded considerably this larger output is not yet fully re- fected in supplies available to the ultimate consumer. Part of the new supplies have been required to furnish floor models that orders could be taken from pros pective customers An additional large part has been required fill the pipelines of suppyinvenores and goods being shipped The pipelines now are more amply stocked From this point forward most of the new supplies will be available to the consumer Thus increases in output with larger proportion of the supplies available to will go far to meet the current shortages.
 An interesting illustration of how this process works is found in the recent experience with nyon hose When nylons again produced in volume after V-J Day the need to fill the pipeline meant that only relatively small part of these supplies were available consumers The result long lines of customers seeking to buy the relatively few pairs available Now that production of nylons has been under way for a number of months, the pipelines are more adequately stocked many consumers have ac- cumulated a basic inventory although many others have not been able to do so), and the nylon lines have been getting steadily smaller and in many cases have disappeared.
 Civilian Production Administrator Small, in his current monthly report on industrial output, is op- timistic concerning the possibilities of further ex- pansion in supplies This optimism will be fully Just- fled if major strikes avoided and if OPA, by its pricing policies and delays in making adjustments, such uncertainties that production is held back Because of the high level of employment prevailing today MT. Small points out, The economy too close to full production to allow significant overall increase output except through increased man-hour productivity" With the labor force fully engaged, only by working more efficiently which means greater productivity, a significant expan- sion total output take place particularly in those areas where full volume of production has not yet been attained. Such an increase in supplies would provide the effective barrier against runaway price rises

|. $. STOCK GOES UP


 Thus the world has turned against an aggreS5or nation. Thus also, the world has turned toward a nation which has no selfish axes to grind and which is attempting to cooperate with the rest of the world.
 This is what Secretary Byrnes has sincerely tried to do at Paris; and as far as this observer could ascertain, his patient, fair-minded policy is paying dividends. Part of the world, once ready to sing Rus sia's praises, has yeered toward the United States.
 Therefore, the No. point of Am erican policy should be to work things out within the family Of na- tions; to put Palestine and other controversial problems under the United Nations; not to let the British drag Us into separate al- dances. This is our greatest danger. 1T we become the IdIl OH the bil- tish kite, we can be euchred into war with Russia-eXactly where the British Foreign Office imperialists want us. But as long as the smaller Independent nations of the world are convinced of our unselfish mo- tives. as long as we remain aloof from both sides, our strength as a world leader is secure.

WE COULD HAVE STOPPED
 HITLER

To illustrate: If Adolph Hitler had known he would have been at war with France and England when he sent his troops into the Ruhr and Rhineland he never would have given them marching orders. As it was, fearing war, he gave them two sets of orders, one to ad- vance and the second to retreat if the French Army resisted.
 Likewise, Hitler never would have sent his troops into Austria if he hadn't known the Allies were un- prepared. It has now developed that Hitler had no real military strength at that time, was shrewd- ly banding on Allied timidity and dissension. He was right
 Later, of course, having won powerful industries and resources in the Ruhr, Austria and Czechoslova- kia, Hitler was in a position where he dared risk war by invading Po- iand. But had not France and Bri- tain yacillated in the Ruhr, Aus tlia and Czechoslovakia, Hitler never would have risked war with Poland
 Likewise with Japan when it first invaded China. Had Secretary of State Stimson had the support of President Hoover in 1881 when the Jap warlords first walked into Manchuria; or had he received Bri- tish-French support when he urged the League of Nations to act against Japan, our long and costly battle of the Pacific might have been avoided.

finally we find ourselves set for a serious showdown-and war.
 If, however, the first aggressive step is never taken, there will be no war. And that first step will not be taken if Russia knows de- finitely and categorically that, Ii she takes it, there will be war with the United States.
 In brief the three main points on our program to prevent war with Russia should be. l. Avoid being the tail on the British kite and work through the United Ma Cions; 9. Let Russia know that her first aggressive step in violation of the United Nations means war with the USA; 3. Do everything in our power. as so frequently urged by this column, to win the trlend- ship of the Russian people.

TRUMAN WORRIES OVER CHINA

Straight-talking COP Senator Owen Brewster of Maine came back from China with some far different conclusions on U. $. re- lations there than his companions, Senators Hugh Butler of Nebraska and Allen Ellender of Louisiana. Both had publicly urged evacuation of our troops.
 Brewster gave his first report in private to President Truman With no holds barred. He came out flat lv and aggressively against evacua- tion at this time. Whats more, he made his arguments stand up. Tru- man agreed that it would be un- wise to pull out our troops ouring the present state of unrest. Much of what Truman said must be kept off the record for sound diplomatic reasons, but he lett no doubts that he sided with Brewster and not with Senators Butler and Ellender.
 T am familiar with the state ments of others who favor evacua- tion and I still agree with you that it's too early" the President told the Maine Republican.
 Brewster didn't throw any bou- quets at Soviet Russia in his ap- peal. He charged that the Russians were turning over large quantities of Japanese arms and materials to Chinese Communists. T think we should continue to maintain a policy of vigilance III China to safeguard the peace Of the world" Brewster declared. Il don't want to sound like an alarmist, but in my opinion the amalgamatlon of Russia and China would mean 3 development of political and mill tary power such as the world has never seen. Within generation our sons will pay the price Ii we make the mistake of ignoring this
 Brewster added that not only peace in the Pacific but the peace of the world" was involved ln the Chinese question.
 T cannot too strongly urge yot to keep our troops in China untl we have a better knowledge of the extent of Soviet plans and lntlu- ences within the nation,' pleaded the Senator from Maine. Our duty is clear. We owe it to ourselves ano to the world to maintain a watch ful policy and to keep our powder dry in China
 T won't argue with you on tha score" replied Truman.
