A good start was made last night toward a Juneau City Band, when 10 musicians met in the Grade School Auditorium and formed a nucleus for just such an organiza- ton.
 It is estimated there are about 20 or 25 musicians in Juneau and with all in the organization a band should prove success.
 Ed Garnick and J. J. Fargher will contact musicians before the next meeting, which will be in the same place next Thursday night, March IA, at g o'clock, or musicians desiring to join, may contact them.
 It is believed a well instrument talized band is in the making and all musicians are asked to sit in and help in organizing, and then stay put as much as possible.

Patience, Tolerance, Etc.
By David Laurence

From the Lcndon Daily Herald.
The truth is that Europe has been
too deeply wounded in the last 10 years
for any quick or easy remedy to set
things right Not merely has physical de-
struction ravaged towns and factories
and railways and crops. Terrible crimes
have been committed perhaps the most
terrible in all Europe's troubled history
and terrible possions Of hatred and
revenge have been aroused. It Is not
possible to hope that all these crimes
can be forgotten, or all these passions
Gained, in few short turbulent months.
The human heart of Europe has been
torn apart as fearfully as its physical
and economic life. All this has to be
remembered when we fell disappoint-
ment, as we must at the lack Of pro-
gress in the past year toward the ideals
of the Atlantic Charter. Only patience,
tolerance and perseverance can hope to
bring progress and reason into the
chaos left by Hitler and his wars. 1t Is
thus the Job of Britain to set an example
in the democratic way of life herself.
to refrain from blaming too readily
those who seem to obstruct settle
ment in Europe, and to stick patiently
to the task IS

representation, the elections gave the
Communists the largest single bloc OF
members In the chamber, although only
80 per cent OF the electorate voted for
Maurice Thorez's ticket.
The other political parties, ranging
from extreme Socialists to equally ex-
treme Rightists, apparently are incapable
of getting together, even temporarily, to
work out the salvation of the franc, al
though they realize that the collapse of
the currency would bring about the col
lapse of the entire social and economic
system
The Communists. who unquestionably
are the best organized political group
and know exactly what they are after,
want the franc to follow the fate of
the German mark in 1923 and 1924, or
of the Hungarian pengo a few months
ago. Both currencies ceased to have
any purchasing value. But the Ger
mans in 1924 were a defeated nation, as
the Hungarians are now. Their popula-
tions took economic and financial mis-
fortune in stride, together with their
military and political debacle.
The French, however, emerged VIC
torious from the war, and the French
people, especially the bourgeoisie which
form the backbone of the nation, ex-
pected to reap the harvest Of victory in
repayment for the suffering and sacri-
fees Of five long years.
x \ y X
The nom Communists in France have
no forceful leaders. Hence they can
get together on definite policy which
will require a political truce among
themselves The policy of the Com
munists is to do nothing and let nature
take its course as far as the currency
is concerned. They want the franc
reduced to nothing because they know
that this will mean the ruination of the
bourgeoisie in the towns and of the
farmers, who like their American coun-
terparts are strongly middle class.
The complete collapse of the franc
would mean that this important section
OF the French population eventually will
become "proletarized" And the sobjec-
tive Of the Communists would thus be
accomplished without any real effort on
the part OF their leaders.
This explains NJ Thorezs policy of
doing nothing about the franc and let
ting the leaders of the other parties
bungle the show, as they are bound to
do if they don't wake up in time.
In spite of M. Blums many qualities
particularly honesty and sincerity-it
is highly unlikely that he will have the
ability and the time to improve the
French monetary situation. The crisis
which confronts that country-so long
as the Communists refuse their CO.
operation will not improve Frances
prospects.

screenings" had combed out war
criminals such as Russian and Ukrain-
ian divisions who had deserted to the
Germans. Since both BaltS and Poles
had been forcibly drafted into the Ger
man Army, these represented prob
lem, for the Soyiets regarded all non
Germans in German uniform as trail
tors, no matter what conditions OF force
had been brought to bear. Voluntary
collaborationists were handed over to
the Russians.
But the remainder include Jews, re-
sistant to remaining anywhere in Eu-
rope; Poles, approximately third of
whom refused to return to Soviet -domi-
mated Poland; Lithuanians, Esthonians
and LatvianS whom the U. S. S. r.
claimed as Soviet citizens but whose
experience of two Soviet occupations
made 80 per cent hostile; YugoSlavs, as
hostile to Tito as the Poles to Beirut:
and UkrainianS from the territory an
nexed to the U. S. S. R. from Poland.
To the q. S. S. r. and its satellites
who vetoed against IRO-the solution
was always simple: Hand them over;
they belong to us. Military authorities
would have welcomed any solution for
q headache, and every incentive was
offered the recalcitrants to repatriate-
every incentive except any collectible
guarantee that they would not be
hanged or enslaved. Too much is known
to western authorities about conditions
eastward to make it possible to stomach
cattle-shipments of persons whose long
holdout brands them as enemies" So
the decision was made that these may
not be deported against their free, un-
Influenced will.
But what will be their fate?
After the first great exodus from the
Russian revolution, the world, under the
management of the great Freidtjof
Nansen, absorbed more than million.
But then we talked less of human rights
and practiced more. Today the French,
who are holding hundreds of thousands
of German war prisoners at forced labor
in contradiction to all international con-
ventions. and who complain of popula-
ton decline as their leading problem,
will not accept the Poles who fought
for France in her front lines.
Canada and Australia admit they are
underpopulated. Alaska, stagnant and
declining, has room for them all.
The San Francisco Charter in June,
1945, solemnly covenanted 'to reaflrm
faith in human rights and "in the dig
nifty and worth of the human person"
But since then the Allies, to greater or
lesser degree, have been demonstrating
that the great historic bills of rights
are either absolete or decaying.

Frances Paradox Cabinet

Paradox" Is the word used by
Leon Blum to characterize the all
Socialist cabinet which he was COM
PEELED to form after five days Of vain
effort to construct q truly coalition
government.
NJ Blum has himself lucidly ex-
planned this unexpected solution of
dilemma unsolvable In orthodox
parliamentary fashion when he
stated: II realize that 1t looks odd
for a party that has less than 100
members In an Assembly thatshas
more than 900 members to present
government. But we had to put
an end to a crisis In government
that threatened to become peril
ous."
Not having the parliamentary sys-
tenn in this country, we Americans
can hardly appreciate the extraor-
binary character OF cabinet which
violates the first principle Of parlia-
mentarism - constant responsibility
to majority in the legislative body
The Blum government will naturally
exist only on sufferance Of the major
parties whose mutual antagonisms
exclude each other from power;
those antagonists being, Of course,
the Communists and the. Popular
Republicans, better known as the
MRR with approximately equal
voting strength In the Assembly.
That is the obvious paradox to
which M. Blum referred. What he
did not allude to is the even deeper
paradox that his Socialist Party is
not merely minority group but one
which appears to be in disintegra-
ton, its left and right wings tending
to fly of and coalesce respectively
with the Communists and the
MRP. Indeed, that inter-S Socialist
Party trend is symptomatic Of a
broader tendency by which the
French electorate appears to be veer-
ing toward opposite extremisms OF
the left and right. In the recent
elections the Communists increased
slightly, but those gains were out
weighed by the strengthening Of
rightist groups much more conserva-
tive than MRP and to consid-
erable extent bound up with General
de Gaulle as a crystallizing point.
To the Communists, those rightists
are anathema, and 1t was a refusal
of the Communists to grant them
any representation in q coalition
government which chiefly wrecked
Blum's cabinet-building efforts.
Perhaps the final paradox Is that,
In country traditionally averse
to stressing personality in its pre-.
miers, the Blum cabinet Is an erni-
nently personal one. Leon Blum y
Evening star., 1946-12-18

The 74-year-old French politician,
Leon Blum, who accepted the premier
ship and formed cabinet composed
exclusively OF Socialists. was sincere
when he said he did so as matter
OF patriotism and personal sacrifice.
The cabinet is entirely q makeshift
organization and will step down the
middle OF January when another cat and
dog fight between the Communists and
their opponents will take place.
A paradoxical situation exists IN
France today. Her national economy is
reviying rapidly; there can be employ
ment for everybody: the farmers this
year produced quantity OF food which
is almost sufficient for France; they
expect surplus next year.
Contrary to general belief. French In
dustrial capacity increased during the
war. After Frances collapse in the sum-
mer OF 1910, the Germans decided to
make France one of their most im-
portant war production areas and
nodernized the French heavy industry.
The German collapse was SO rapid
that they did not have time to destroy
or sabotage what they had bnilt up over
q period Of nearly five years. The areas
through which the Aberating armies
passed were destroyed as were some OF
the industrial establishments which
were the target Df American and
British bomber squadKons after 1874.
But in other areas the factories re-
manned untouched.
X X
The greatest shortage experienced by
French industry is the lack Of coal.
France needs approximately 7OOO0,0O0
tons 8 year and because OF the lack OF
imports from Poland, Britain and the
German coal centers in the west she
can obtain at present supply OF only
40 600 900 tons. But this is only tenn
porary dificulty which can be remedied
BY special arrangements with the
British, who control the Ruhr.
The communications system has been
vastly improved and 1t Is expected that
II France is not subjected to serious
domestic strife, within less than year
the lines of communication will be re-
stored to prewar efficiency-or better.
It is finance which makes the French
situation SO "precarious," although the
problem could be remedied If there were
q will on the part of the political parties
to get together and woSk out plan for
the salvation Of the franc, as was the case
in 1925 when Premier Raymond Poin-
care stabilized the currency.
The French budget for the current
fiscal year has been established at about
526. 600 900 900 francs (s4400 100000 at
the official rate of exchange. The
deficit at this time is more than half
that amount.

The Nathan Report,
By Ray,n ond Moley-

The Administration gave him high of
flee. He was deputy director Of the
Office Of War Mobilization and Recon-
version. He told us, in August, 1915,
that we would have 5,O00,000 unem-
ployed in three months, perhaps 8,000,-
600 by spring. We had nothing of the
kind. But this was only mistaken proph-
ecy. Any one can make such an error.
It merely shows inefficiency.
But when. after turn in Govern
ment, New Dealers are employed by
special interest groups and when. by
similar methods and. in part, the same
figures, we are told what the Govern
naant told us before the New Dealers
left, we see clearly the nature of the
Government which has been serving us
all these years.
When Republicans were in power, if
a lawyer employed in Government re-
signed and, as a private citizen served
corporations, great howl went up from
radicals. They said that such post-ofi-
cial employment proved that Govern
ment was by the few and for the few.
We now see that that system can work
In another direction.

Nobody wants to deny Mr.. Nathan the
right to earn living. He can work
where he chooses But his choice Of ena-
ployment goes long way to prove the
case of those who protested against the
figures. facts and opinions Of the Gov
errnent he used to serve.
We are now moving into another Pc
Rod of debate. The issue is whether cer-
faira dr. all Industries caf1 or cannot nav
specific wages. Again, We must listen
only to the voices Of the parties at issue.
We have no Government to which we
can turn for the real facts upon which
we can depend For our Government is
still the one which permitted prejudiced
men like Mr.. Nathan to issue ofdcial
reportS.
