The embargo, announced yester-
day by the State Department, ap-
plies to exports from this country,
and also to war surplus goods To-
Gated overseas.
Official records show that less
than $4,000 worth of arms has been
exported to the Middle East from
the United States in the past %
months. There were no available
figures on overseas surplus sales, but
officials said these also have been
small.
The American League for a Free
Palestine greeted the announcement
with a statement which said the
Arabs already have $37 ,000, 900 worth
of surplus American property.
The leagues vice president, Mau-
rice Rosenblatt, said:
"By improperly including Pales-
tine in its embargo the State Depart
ment proposes to leave the Hebrew
population of Palestine defenseless
in the face of Arab aggressors.
Recruiting Regulations Cited.
The State Department said the
embargo will continue until further
notice.
Meanwhile, proposals to recruit
soldiers in the United States fol
fighting in Palestine prompted the
department to call attention to reg
ulations denying passports to mer
who want to fight for foreign coun-
tries.
Rabbi Baruch Korff told a news
conference in Boston few days
ago that several unnamed American
generals had volunteered to lead a
George Washington Battalion: for

Since 1887 all American passports
have been stamped:
This passport is not valid for
travel to or in any foreign state
for the purpose of entering or serv-
ing in the armed forces OF such a
state"
The regulation was adopted after
hundreds of Americans had joined
the Loyalist forces in the Spanish
civil war. 49,.

Actors of the stage, radio and
screen are assured of closed shop

courts decide the Taft-Hartley law

Under a closed shop none but

Drive for Girl Scout Fund Siaris Monday; Only Three
 DaysIo Make Big Campaign

The drive to raise S3,000 for the frl Scouts starts Monday accord ng to Lislc Hebcrt, finance chair nan of the Girl Scouts, and ef- 'Orts will be made to conduct the 'und campaign Tor only three days, Eonday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 The S3,000, explains Hebert, is 10 oyer expenses of the camping sea- on for last year and for next year. Jwing to several fund raising cam ,aigns last year, in which the Girl Scouts drive would conflict, no uive was made and money was urroWed or raised through other .rrangements. This repayment is lart of the S3,0c0 which is the cur ant cause of the drive.
 Regarding last years successful amp, Mrs Ralph Rivers, Camp Committee Chairman, reports that 4 girls learned to swim or improve heir swimming during the i9i7 camping season at the Girl Scout camp under the direction of the waterfront director
 TWenty-one full days of instruc- ton in an extensive arts and crafts program was given this year under the direction of Mrs. Jack Fletcher. Hikes, nature study, outdoor cook ing, games, songs, camp fire ac- tivities and camp responsibilities IS part of a group were also part f the program for the camp.
 Impr ovemcnts At Camp
 One Of the outstanding improve ments made at the Eagle River camp during the last year was the installation by the girls Of an oil stove. The old stove had become so bad that baking was an impossi- oility.
 A splendid water system was in- tailed through the joint efforts md finances of the girls, the Ro- .sry Club and the funds collected )y the hoys when a joint drive was held by all Juneau Scouts.
 Four pre-camp periods were giv- sn this year with instruction in camp standards, cbjectives and me .hods of rogram planning by Mrs. Ferrcl Onstadt, camp director.
 Many repairs are needed for the l943 camping season. A pump is needed for the oil drums which supply oil. for the stove A hammer, 9 saw, rake, shovel. cots for the bunk house, a large latrine near the bunkhouse, a two-Way com munication system, dish tubs, root repairs, screen doors, a squirrel proof storage place for food, a boat and the use Of an outboard motor etc. arc among the needs for next year which the present drive will finance, according to Mrs Rivers

LAW-ABlDING FREEDOM
by Ruth ToyIor

Freedom of itself is beautiful word but freedom
without law TO back it, is anarchy Just as men must have
freedom to think and speak in order progress and in
deed survive they have se!fmode laws regulating
that freedom.
History has proven this again and oqoin The Roman
Empire great as long it composed of disciplined
free To be Roman citizen then meant to be free
r,c3 eli over the known world The Romans conquered
not merely by force of arms but by force of concerted
intelligent cotton But when liberty deqeneroted into IL
cense, they fell prey to the borborc Gemonc nvoders
AS the historian, james Trusow Adams, wrote with
out vision shoII die 1t is less true that without
hard practical sense they sho oIso die This has been
the secret back of countys greatness America stort
ed from vision of freedom for all monknd but it was
booked up by laws that insured the keeping Of that free
dom. Freedom alone is net enough Nor will arbitrary
lows, conceived and IegisIoed by those to whom they
must apply is invincible
We cornot safeguard the freedom that is democracy
by undemocrotic Means Democracy the rule of the ma
iorty implies ocquiescence to self government will
ing obedience TO the laws of the mooriy plus reoIizo
ton by the majority that mnorties only have rights
too but entitled to equal consideration and cannot
be rommelled imposed upon. Rights which we demand
for ourselves must gont TO Others Tho is why free
speech and freedom of religion bosic to our Amer-
con democracy
democratic free government is one of lows not of
Dictates Yet the laws themselves no stronger no weak
e hon the persons who enforce Them Black markets
economic discrimination but evidences of weak links in
the chain of citizens
Only freedom which is under strong law, only stronq
law to which consent because it preserves freedom
can endure 1t to each of who desire freedom who
believe IN democracy who won't to preserve our American
way of life, to obey lows whether or not we like
them and to accord the privileges to Others Thot
the democratic way That the way to successful free
dom.

FOURTH or JULY, l947

Once more the notions comes to the observance OF the
Fourth of July The doy of the greatest in the history
of mans struggle for individual liberty ond OF his efforts
to establish government when in l77o, delegates from
the thirteen American Colonies then governed from Eng
land met at Philadelphia, Penn and signed the Deeor-
oton of independence and thus give rise to the great no
ton the United Stotes of America.
Whot makes the Fourth Day of July great day IN
American history and whot enables the United States to
progress until today it has become the worlds great
est notion the great ideal appealing then and now to oil
men of all races and all creeds every where set forth in
the opening words of the Declaration OF independence
There are mony why the world needs the great
deoI of the Declaration of independence thon
the year l776
The opening words of the Declaration of Independ-
ence oe I'VE hold these truths to be self evident Ihot
all men are created equo that they endowed by their
creator with certain unoenobe rights that among these
ore life liberty and the pursuit of happiness hot to Sc
cure these rights governments instituted among men,
DERIVING their Just powers from the consent of the govern
ed that whenever any form of government becomes de-
structive of these ends is the right of the people to otor
or to obosh it, and TO institute government, laying
is foundation such principles and organizing powers
in such form to Them sho seem most likely TO effect
their safety and happiness"
Yesterday in the above words there perhaps only
there lies the dream and hope of the entire world 10
make the great ideal of the declaration Of independence
the new American reality should therefore be the aim OF
every American Citizen as to the observance OF

Over 27,000 farm job placements
OF veterans of Word War II have
been made this years by the ex-
tension Service farm labor pro-
gram of the U. S. Department
OF Agriculture, reports the Bur
eau of Agricultural Economics.
About Fl 900 of these placements
have been made as hired hands
and 5000 as tenants or sharecrop-
pers. Some of these latter place
ments were of white and colored
veterans who want to learn how
to operate a farm before purch-
asing one of his own.
AS for farm as a whole, 1884,
900 persons were employed on
farms on June l, BAE reports. Of
these 8,913,000 were operators and
unpaid members of their famili-
eS.
In the South, 10000 fewer work
ers were employed on June 1 than
on the same date year ago, and
over million fewer than during
the period of 1885, 10. Heavy
rainfall was partly responsible for
the reduction in the number of
workers in the south. However,
the harvesting of truck crops, the
setting of tobacco, and the chopp-
ing of cotton are now getting well
underway in that region.
West Indian workers make up
part of the farm labor force. The
