Time for Action

With time growing short for pas
sage at this session of Congress, it
is reassuring to learn that the long
dormant Highway Bridge replace
ment bill finally is to be brought up
for early action by the Bridge Sub
committee of the House Interstate
Committee. This bill was intro
duced more than year ago at the
request of the District Commission
ers. The House subcommittee held
series of eight comprehensive
hearings on the subject, beginning
last May. The final hearing was
held on December 19 last. The hear
ings produced lengthy testimony
bearing on the question of whether
the old bridge should be replaced by
twin spans of four lanes each or by
a single Six-lane bridge. Since the
close of the hearings the bill has
languished in committee, despite the
fact that unless the legislation is
passed at this session of Congress,
the whole matter will have to go
over to the next session, with conse-
quent duplication of hearings and
serious delay in preparation of pre-
liminary engineering studies.
Chairman Chapman of the Bridge
Subcommittee is correct in declaring
that the bridge legislation is of
major Importance and that prompt
passage of the measure is necessary
whether materials for construction
Of the bridge or bridges are imme-
diately available or not. The prof.
ect entails complex technical sur
veys and planning that inevitably
involve considerable labor and con-
sumo much time before actual con-
struction can be undertaken. Mean
while, traffic conditions at the
Highway Bridge seem to grow worse
rather than better. The bottle
neck created by this outmoded
structure is a constant source of
irritation to Government workers
and other daily users of the bridge.
Whether the final decision of Con-
gress will be to grant the request of
the Commissioners for a two-bridge
project-a plan that has widespread
official and civic supporter to pro-
vide for the single bridge indorsed
by former Secretary Ickes, General
Grant and some others, the urgency
of the situation is such that there
should be no further delay in reach
ing decision and giving the Com
missioners the "go" sign on the big
undertaking.

lists unrevised for a decade, the
commission estimates the number
of fraudulent ballots at only $4,000
out of total vote of 1,117 900, while
the elections themselves are stated
to have been conducted with de-
corum comparing favorably with
those in Britain, France and the
United States. Intimidation was
negligible, while "the presence of
British troops had no effect what
soever on the election results" The
commission gives as its considered
judgment" that the Greek elections
were conducted under conditions
that warranted holding them on the
date selected" This last is vindi-
cation of the decision of the Ameri-
can and British governments that
the prolonged delay demanded by
the Greek leftists and forcefully ad-
vocated by Moscow would have been
alike unjustified and unwise.

this for granted when we agree: "One
World or None" OF course, the one
world must be free world! Well,
then, let us say it.
We would gain nothing by en-
couraging tyranny with silence. In
fact, this is one of the meanings of
Palm Sunday. Riding into Jerusa-
lem is public announcement of
choosing no world in preference to
one. That ancient world was united
under Rome, and our Lord might
have continued His teaching and
healing quietly in the hills of Judea.
But when He set His face steadily
to 60 to Jerusalem" it was a direct
threat to the peace which the Ro-
mans and their native satellites had
established. Perhaps He had no
quarrel with the political empire,
but He did have a quarrel with the
ecclesiastical authorities who used
the politicians to enforce their rule.
To proclaim His kingship of love and
truth by the triumphal procession Of
palms was to hurl defiance at those
who trusted in the temple and the
whole unified system. 1t was the
parade OF rebel.
st. Paul later wrote the beautiful
words which our choirs will sing
next Sunday for Easter anthems:
Christ our passover is sacrificed for
us, therefore let us keep the feast!"
The passover was the feast of de-
liverance from Egypt, it was the
Fourth of July of His people. 1t is
as If We sang: Christ our Fourth of
July is sacrificed for us, therefore
let us keep the feast!"
For Christ is the spearhead of free
dom. The teachings of Christianity
depend on liberty. 1t is Gods gift
which no earthly tyrant may take
away, no matter how he represents it
as for our own good. And behind
Christ is the glorious history of the
Jewish people and their struggle for
freedom.
Please God it may be possible to
create one world; yet we do not pray
for peace, but that He will "estab-
lish among us that peace which is
the fruit of Righteousness. And If
the one world begins to look like
totalitarian and obscurantist encir-
clement. we have precedent for
throwing ourselves against it, as long
ago, on Palm Sunday, with joyous
shouts and the cries of children, One
rode into Jerusalem

Stulemote on Peuce

It is diScouraging to read authori-
tatiee reports that there probably
will be postponement of the 81
nation conference scheduled to be-
gin May to consider peace treaties
for Italy and the former Axis satel-
lites in Europe. One of Secretary
Byrnes' major objectives at the
meeting of Foreign Ministers in Paris
next week will be to prevent such a
postponement, or at least to keep it
as brief as possible, but informed
sources suggest that he is not likely
to succeed.
At the meeting of Foreign Minis
ters in Moscow last December there
was full agreement on the May l
. conference date, but since then
there has been a virtual stalemate
in the treaty drafting The stale
mate revolves chiefly around these
points: ID Russia's insistence on
being granted an exclusive trustee
ship over the Italian colony of Tri-
politania, as against joint United
Nations trusteeship; (2) its un-
bending support of Yugoslavia's
claims regarding Trieste; CD it's
objection to demilitarizing the Do
decanese despite it's apparent will
ingness to let Greece have the
islands, and (4) its effort to build
kind of closed economy in Eastern
Europe and the Balkans, an ar
rangement which would cut down
the trade opportunities of the west
ern powers.
These major differences are ex-
tremely complex and in some re-
spects explosive, and unless Secre-
tary Byrnes and Foreign Ministers
Bidault, Bevin and Molotoy manage
somehow to resolve them at their
forthcoming meeting, the May l
conference may have to be put off
indefinitely. In such circumstances,
with Russia holding fast to its pres
ent attitude, the western powers
acting either individually or to-
gether-might be moved to draw up
separate treaties. To do that, how
ever, would be merely to make the
best of a very bad situation, and it
might, in fact, be impossible, be-
cause the former Axis satellites
Hungary, for instance-rnight feel
pressure from Moscow to refuse to
negotiate in that fashion.
The principal reason for speed in
getting the treaties written, of
course, is that the longer they re-
main unwritten the longer will such
unsettled questions as Trieste be
serious irritants in international re-
lstions and the longer will occupy
Ing armies dot Europe, thus delaying
the restoration of stable and rea-
sonably normal peacetime condi-

Advice to Scientists

In the course of his address last
week to the American Chemical
Society, OF which he is president,
Colonel Bradley Dewey offered some
suggestions which deserve the at
tention not only of chemists, but of
the scientific fraternity as a whole.
Colonel Dewey was emphatic in
his 1nSiStence on maximum freedom
for scientific endeavor, pointing out
that Science has always flourished
best in the clear daylight of free
and unclassified speech and where
initiative and the urge to discover
have not been restricted either by
edicts OF secrecy or by paternalistic
direction" At the same time, how
ever, he also emphasized the "re-
grettable" necessity OF facing the
fact that while making our peace
time contributions we must recog-
nize that until war is finally out
laWed we must also study and per-
feet every military use of science"
Only by the result of such efforts,
he added, "can our military be kept
ever ready to defend our shores, our
communications with our Allies and
our determination to wipe out ag-
gression."
Colonel Dewey did not allude di-
rectly to the controversy or the ap-
parent controversy between some
scientists and the military over the
role that the latter is to play in the
future development of atomic en-
ergy. But he very probably had that
in mind when he offered this sug-
gestion: "On the broader front we
need to maintain our equilibrium as
scientists and professional men
amidst the babel of voices which has
been mounting in volume since the
atomic bombs went off. To a Ger
tain extent scientists have added to
this confusion of tongues, and some
have succeeded in creating the i'm
preston that they have all the
answers, even in the field of politics,
national and international. In so
doing some have forgotten that ma
tional leadership is only won by
long, self sacrificing public service"
In a word, scientists are advised
to speak out clearly and firmly with
respect to those subjects on which
they are qualified to speak, but not
to water down their influence by
attempting to set themselves up as
dogmatic counselors on any and all
subjects. That is good advice-for
the scientists, and for the rest of us.

The Greek Vote Was Fair

Publication of the text of a state
ment by the Allied Commission for
Observing the Greek Elections gives
authoritative and unbiased informa-
ton regarding the character of those
elections. There can be no reason
able doubt as to the competence of
the commission for its task and the
validity of its conclusions. It should
be remembered that the commission
itself grew out of the Yalta Confer
ence whereat America, Britain and
Soviet Russia mutually agreed to
help liberated countries set up DEM
ocratic governments Furthermore,
this was followed by an agreement
between the Greek political parties
to seek such Allied help through
election observa ton, and the Greek
government subsequently requested
such aid from the Yalta signatories,
together with France. All accepted
save Soviet Russia, which declined to
participate and indicated it's dis
approval of Greek elections at this
time. The same attitude was taken
by the Greek Communist party,
which, together with some small
left-wing groups under its control
boycotted the elections and tried to
make others do the same.
Notwithstanding these handicaps,
the commission, composed of Ameri-
can, British and French observers
aggregating about 1900 and all care
fully selected for their jobs, reached
Greece some time before the elec-
tions, made prediction studies,
watched the actual polling, and con-
Quoted postelection hearings and
Investigations. They have now COM
pleted their report, which is signed
unanimously, indicating substantial
agreement on all important points.
The joint verdict is that the Greek
elections were found to be free and
fair, and that the outcome repre-
sents "a true and valid verdictof the
Greek people" Abstention of the
leftist parties, estimated at only 9.3
per cent of the registered voters, did
not materially affect the election
results. Despite opportunities for
fraud, due principally to election

When zone World" was published
three years ago, there was lady who
remarked that she did not mind hav-
ing her little boy come home from
school each day and repeat the geog-
raphy he had learned, but she was
not willing to read the naive discov-
cries in "One World" Of course, it
is one world! Far-sighted people
have known That for some time New
ertheless the book with that title did
much good by popularizing the truth.
Now the atomic bomb has led to the
publication of "One World or None"
which is the broadcasting of fur
ther old truth. Again. far-sighted
people know that the world must
become one or perish. People will
learn to cooperate or they will de-
stroy each other.
But there is third step in the
logic Of things. We might choose
none. There are certain conditions
under which destruction Is preferable
to unity. 1t is possible that one world
will be achieved by totalitarianism
and obscurantism. In that case we
might better have no world at all.
Hitler planned one world. the Japa-
nese planned one world and we might
have saved much blood and treasure
If We had allowed them to proceed in
unifying civilization in their way.
We chose rather to fight. When
Churchill said: I'VE shall fight on
the beaches, on the airfields, in the
streets and lanes! We shall never
give in!" he expressed what the Brit
ish people felt-utter destruction is
preferable to unity under totalitari-
anism. =
We gladly would choose this again.
II it is to be one world, it must be a
certain kind of one world. Unless it
is a world in which freedom for all
is allowed. there inevitably will arise
lovers of freedom who will break the
tyranical unity and perish rather
than submit. When Lincoln said:
THE Union cannot exist half slave
and half free" he meant that the free
group never would rest until they had
extended liberty to all. And that
now is true of the entire world. The
lovers of freedom never will rest.
This is not a new truth, but it is
not widely understood. 1t might be
called an intuitive belief which is
recognized as soon as expressed. Or

Green Ladies

Some three centuries ago great
forests of white pines began near
the ocean shore and extended far
inland, filling the rich-bottomed
river valleys, climbing the Ale
ghenies and lingering out into the
valleys on the west side of the
mountain range. Countless pioneer
families lived in cabins made of the
softwood logs; early furniture and
farm implements were hewn and
Whitfield from it. The green ladies
played an important role in the
founding of Nation.
1t is one of the loveliest of our
trees. The needles are soft, slender
and pliable, arranged in clusters of
five along the sides of branches that
sweep outward in graceful horizon
tai curves. They have a distinctive
beauty, with two or three creamy
white lines on the lower surfaces.
The trees commonly grow tall and
symmetrical, but sometimes on the
storm whipped mountain tops or on
the brows of jutting hills one finds
a white pine, twisted and mis-
shapen, stanchly clinging to its
thin-soiled footing. Boys and girls
delight to collect the long, stubby-
scaled cones and to send the light
brown winged seeds travelling on the
wind.
The gracious green ladies of the
woods are trees of poise and dignity,
but they are also friendly trees.
Alone on hillside or in an extern
sive grove, the white pines are al
ways ready to talk to him who Is
ready to listen. Now is good sea-
son of year to listen to them. On
a sunny day in early spring, when
a breeze is stirring, there is a note
of excited happiness in the ever
green tops. Gone now is the hushed,
sleepy murmuring of quiet days in
the fall; gone is the uncomplaining
but emphatic talk of the trees when
December and January storms
lashed the land. Now the breeze is
from the south, and there is tingling
expectancy and happy anticipation.
The green ladies say plainly that
the Storm Kings cycle is done once
. again and that spring is on the way.

tions. It must be hoped, therefore,
that when they meet next week in
Paris the Foreign Ministers will be
able to break the present deadlock.
There was pessimism before their
meeting in Moscow, but still they ac-
complished a lot there, and perhaps
they may do the same thing now,
despite the rather gloomy reports.

Seattle Seaman Dies At Base

Funeral services were held from the Catholic church here Wednesday at S:45 am for Geo. John Mika, age 65, merchant seaman on the North Haven, who died on January 4 at the Navy hospital from a long-stand- ing heart ailment. He was admit- ted to the hospital on Christmas Day. Records showed he had been released from a hospital in Seattle earlier in December.
 Arrangements for the funeral were made by Walter Sipprell local Alaska Steamship agent, and services were conducted by Father Vincent Edge. Pallbearers were Jack Metzgar, Bud Metz. gar, Oscar Nelson, Pat Lynch, George Roberts and Walter Sip prell.
 The deceased had no known relatives.
