Shall We End the War?
Cincinnati Enquirer

It will be welcome event when the war is brought officially to end But there still is great uncertainty as to when the United States will be officially at peace, and equal uncertainty to how this may be done, Desirable though u IS to wind up World War II, there are some serious objections hasy action terminating the formally.
 Rep Clarence Brown of Ohio has indicated he will present promptly to the Congress resolution decreeing the official end of the war His primary interest doing so it would is to make an end Of the Presidents war powers as soon as possible.
 With respect to most of those war powers, it is clearly desirable to abolish them soon But there are certainly powers which are useful and Will continue to be useful long as We have substantial numbers of troops overseas. Thus it might be wiser to terminate the Presidents special powers by more selective method-by repeating some of the wartime legislation granting those unusual powers
 In addition, there is the fact that peace has not been made Until definitive treaties of peace have been written and signed, it might be reckless to terminate the unlateraly by legislative acticn. Such step might impose a handicap the President and the Secretary of State in dealing With our allies and recent enemies
 In the period immediately following a successful coalition war there is inevitably struggle for ad- vantage among the victors However polite they may be and however restrained their maneuverings they are sparring for position. And the stakes are not small It might be the part of wisdom, therefore to leave it to the initiative of the President to pro- claim the end of hostites, the end of the war and he end of the emergency.
 The problem is complicated because war mas two distonct aspects It is legally relationship to certain enemy states While remain at war, We can deal with those enemies better than in state Of peace. But war also entails the delegation of vast powers to the Chief Executive It is this latter problem which evidently troubles Representative Brown.
 Tn the present tense state of the world, it would be a mistake to tie the hands of the President by ending war" before he is ready If his emergency powers are excessive and they used to excess they can be withdrawn by legislative acticn without raising the question of a formal return to Q state of peace.

WAR EMERGENCY
 ENDING DELAYED
 ACCOUNT STRKES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 - Ii It hadn't been for strikes, President Truman said today, 1t would have been possible to end the war en- argency before now
 The Chief Executive made the lat statement, without elaboration, during questioning at a news con- ference in which he announced @ revamping of war agencies and disclosed he intends to send three separate messages to the new Re- publican controlled Congress.
 The subject was brought up by a reporter who asked when the President might recommend ter imitation of the war emergency. He declined to speculate, but observed that it could have done before this If strikes had not interrupted re- conversion.
 Many Of the executive powers now held by the President will cease with the conclusion of the war emergency.

surplus to draw on Anticipated revenue from taxes the lowest in many years. The Legislature do only one of two things Either 1t must appropriate the money and pass addi-
 ona tax laws to raise between seven and ten million dollars in two years Or it must curtail expenditures as they have never curtailed before pairing eX- penditures back to the level they held before the 
 This latter course would mean doing away With most of the so-caed social functions of government which the Territory has assumed
 The first course would imposing upon the people of Alaska an additional heavy tax burden at time when the high cost of living has caused incomes to shrink to where there isn't very much left over for anything.
 We believe that it is unfortunate that the pro- posed budget can't be decided upon just before election time in order that the candidates would have something real for campaigns. That is the only time in which the people of Alaska have their say about how much they to be taxed, CT how much their government should spend
 Looking at this imposing problem, Alaskans have one thing to be thankful forthe Territory forbidden by Congress to go into debt.

withdraw the invitation. But they were fearful that taxpayers would protest if thousands of dollars were spent on a vacation jaunt ,or live eX-Congressmen.
 That was why the West Coast ship tie-up was blessing. The boat on which the Congressional party was scheduled to travel, can celed it's November g sailing and Hawaiian Governor Stainback dip lomatically suggested that the trip be postponed until next year

Following this, Peterson was defeated for renomin- ation.

press of business here all fall that just haven't been able to get to these appointments" he eX- plained.
 What Truman did net explain was that also he had been urged to wait to see whether any worthy Democrats, defeated in the cleo ton, might want the job. The names of lameduck Congressmen Will Robinson of Utah, an excel lent man, and Jed JohaSCn Of Ok lahoma, who lost out . :. chance to be Custom Court Judge, now have been suggested.
 The Commission is one which will require topflight staff, since it will have to pass judgment on all Indian claims which have not gone into the courts. There is ab- solutely no statutory limit on the age ol the claimS-Which means that if an Indian tribe wants to claim that it has legal right to the entire territory of the state of Utah, the Commission may have to hear the argument.
 Gen. Pat Hurley, former Secre- tary Of War and Ambassador to China, got rich when he was a lawyer prosecuting Indian claims from Oklahoma. That may be why the bill creating this new Com missiCn has a number of Western lawyers rubbing their hands in ex- pectati0n.

 3. While the tree is still fresh saw off q small part of the trunk at the bottom, preferably at al oblique angle or in V shape Then set the tree in the solution in a cool place. away from direct sunlight, and leave it there unti the solution is absorbed.

over the six-year period tabled above it should be noted that expenditures remained more or less steady in fact the appropriation actually went down lew hundred thousand for the biennium l943-45.
 But the next Legislature was a different story The l945 Territorial Legislature appropriated the sum of S562l822 for the biennium l945-47 However, the Governor deeming it necessary that the Legislature meet again to consider problems which he felt were left unfinished during the regular session, called special session Of the Legislature early this year and at this special session this budget upped by another million dollars in addition to authorizing large eXpen- dtures for which money appropriated.
