 The Boy Scouts of America have created World Friendship Fund" and nearly two million members have been invited and urged to contribute voluntarily to it. Through the fund.- Scout Associations in lands ravaged during World War II being helped to re- build their organization At the outbreak of the war in 1889 there were more than three million Scouts and leaders in 70 different lands.
 Many Boy Scout Troops, Cub Packs, and Senior Scout Units will mark Boy Scout Week by contributing to the fund through local Boy Scout Councils The National Executive Board of the Movement authorized the World Friendship Fund, believing it can make a definite contribution to the postwar world, since boys dedicated to the Scout ideals of tolerance frendneSs and democracy, may be the leaders of the world of tomorrow.
 Many Troops have contributed from the money earned by salvagng waste paper while others have given the proceeds of special Scout entertainments. To make certain the greatest good is done with each dollar spent the Boy Scouts of America the advice of the International Scout Bureau in London and has arranged with agencies of the Federal ment at Washington to that the Scout organiza-

SECRETARIES OF TIE NAVY


 Many capital observers who think Harry Truman got away to a good start in picking high call ibre Cabinet are disappointed that he has not continued on that high level. The appointment of old poli- tical friends-Californi oil man Pauley, Mississippi comedian George Allen, and Missouri naval aid Var daman-to high posts of official trust has struck a very sour note.
 Some observers argue that Pauley is just as we'll qualified to be Sec retary of the Navy as the man he is scheduled later to succeed James Forrestal Probably this is true. But any President other than Roosevelt would have hard time getting Forrestal confirmed.
 Most people have forgotten it, but the President of Bolivia com plained bitterly to Roosevelt over the way ForrestalS banking firm, Dillon. Read & Company, had ram- med a high-interest loan down Bo- livia'S throat. Thanks to a fat bribe to the Bolivian Finance Min ister, that country was saddled with a loan which she can never repay, while unsuspecting American in- vestors will never get back their cash. Forrestal's banking firm, how
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-02-09

ever, collected the commissions.
 Most people don't realize also that it was the Secretary of the Navy's firm which promoted loans to both Japanese and German in terests before the war, and whose partner, now in the American Army in Germany, has been oppos- ed to the dismantling of certain German factories.
 Ed Pauley, in comparison, smells of oil, dye and devices to put his wife on the Government expense account.
 Perhaps if it is so hard to find anyone without embarrassing busi- ness connections to run the Navy, President Truman should go back to the country-newspaper editor and Sunday-school teacher of the Josephus Daniels type. Daniels is about the only Secretary of the Navy in recent years who really stood up against the admirals. They never forgave him for abol- ishing the use of liquor aboard ship or for giving enlisted men a chance to rise from the ranks.
 But time has proved that Daniels was right and that the Navy under him was one of the best of any period.

Fairness to the Philippines
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 There are two bills now before Congress which do not mean great deal in immediate material way to most of the people of the United States. But to sixteen million people in the Philippines the passage of these bills before July means almost literally life death. They bill to grant $450O00000 in re- mobilization aid against the estimated $10OO00OO00 of war damage suffered by the Philippines and bill to the tariff provisions of the Tydings- -McDuffie July the Flipinos will gain their independence as
 war -desolated impoverished nation which has been denied even the means-in trade with the United States to help itself
 Action on both bills has been tagging The tensible reason why pressure has not been exerted to pass them is that Filipinos who coaborated with the Japanese still go unpunshed The thought is that is up the Fiipinos to clean house first before legislative aid is voted them The defense made by these accused of collaboration is that they served the Philippines best by pretending to cooperate with the Japanese while doing little and thus mitigating the severity of the occupation.
 To us it seems that the question of collaboration is one that might we'll be left to the Filipinos them selves to decide They will have opportunity in April at the ballot box, to deliver their own judgment on these men, Passage of the rehabilitation aid bill and of the Philippines Independence Act, how ever something the Fipinos cannot do themselves. For that they can only hope. The longer that hope is in question: the longer deferred will be the process of rehabilitation in the Philippines.
