BARTLETT IS
 ASKING FOR
 BATTLE NOW
Declares Ultimafum of Steamer Operators Is
 Ruthless, Arrogant
By CHARLEss D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Alaska was advised today by Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska) to fight pro- posed rate increase demand by pri- vate ship operators when they re- sume service to the Territory March l, even though it means stopping the service.
 Bartlett said in a statement that the private operators, at a confer ence Tuesday with a House Mer- chant Marine Subcommittee, Mar itime Commission representatives and Alaskans, asserted they must have 58 percent increase over 1941 rates.
 The Delegate said the operators told Alaskans at the conference that il they intervened and pre- vented the rate increase it would result in immediate suspension of steamship services to the north
 The three shipping lines from the vest coast to the Territory were operated during the war and since by the War Shipping Administra- ton and Maritime Commission but under law go back to the private owners March l.
 The ultimatum concerning the service, Bartlett said, was given by Ira Ewers. counsel for the Alaska Steamship Company and h e Northland Steamship Company
 "Confronted by a cooked and loaded gun, Alaska has been in structed to accept the marine rate increases proposed or suffer the consequences" Bartlett said.

after several weeks of touring
Europe, now says the U n t e d
States has already won the cold
war; But this conclusion only
strengthens his contention that
the time has come to relax the
tension" and lend the panic, !"
and to push positively toward "a
settlement which permits the re-
covery of Europe.
The same note has recently
been sounded by David Lawrence
in the United States News. He
urges a less belligerent attitude
on the part of the United States,
more realization that the present
road leads to war, and more effort
to KIP or the possibilities OF
peace. Few now are proposing {
partnership with Russia such as
seemed possible during the war
But all the diplomatic resistance
to Russia has been aimed ulti
mately-we hope-not at wal
but at an eventual settlement. Ii
the testing of strength has now
reached a point where Moscow is
finding itself on the defensive
the time may be lip e for new
efforts to obtain a settlement, -

RUSSIA RECEDlNG

There is a growing confidence
in Washington that Russian eX-
pansionism has been at ! e a t
temporarily checked. The State
Department, schooled through
long m o n h S of diplomatic
struggle to hold the line stoutly
against Moscow's maneuvers,
can hardly believe its eyes. The
public is even less inclined to
give full value to signs like that
in the French elections.
But evidence that Russia is on
the defensive grows daily. The
very violence of all her vocifer.
GUS Vishinskys only deepens the
impression among those W h Q
know Russia best. There is in
this development no room for
complacency. The Soviet system
will not permanently stop push
ing just because it meets resist
ance. The Marshall Plan and
other positive methods of
strengthening democracy will be
required. But there is a n e W
emphasis. It is illustrated by the
difference between the Truman
Doctrine and Marshall Plan.
The first relied on direct resist
ance to Russia by the United

have appeared, 1t is hard to find
a country with any experience Of
self-government which Commun-
ism h a s captured without an
army. Even in occupied Germany
free elections have gone against
the Communists. Even France,
which had a large Communist
Party, appears more ready to
swing right than left under the
pressures of hard times. Comm
unist strikes have not won friel.ds
for Moscow.
Communism does feed on dis
content and hunger. But so does
counter-revolution. There is still
danger in some countries that ex-
tremists will use armed bands to
seize power. The great h ope is
that through the economic re-
Mobilization of Europe conditions
Of tolerable living can be created.
In such conditions the power of
Europe's moderates can assert
itself to throw off totalitarianism.
Among those who believe that
Russia has been stopped is Walter
Lippmann, who only few weeks
ago was Directing to "Mr. KS

WHATS COOKING Z.


With the city election next Tuesday,
the shell of apathy that had prevailed
has been broken wide open by this ques-
ton, asked by hundreds of Key Westers:
Why is the Sixth Precinct polling place
now in Poinciana and not in, the vicinity
of the Key West High School, where 1t
had been for many years?
Formerly. the voting place in that
precinct was the High School gymnasium.
The gymnasium, was not available this
year, but the local school board told the
city commission that the high school annex
could be used for a polling place.
When the list of polling places for the
entire city was brought before, the coma
mission for final action, Poinciana was
designated for the sixth precinct. II
AS the high school annex. has been
used in other elections, Commissioner
Louis Carbonell made motion to amend
the list by placing the sixth polls in the
school annex, instead of Poinciana. Com
missioner Hunter Harden seconded the
ton, which was put to vote. Demeritt,
John Carbonel and Cooper voted for
Poinciana and Louis Carbonell and Har-
den voted for the annex.
What prompted the three commits
sioners to chose Poinciana over the annex?
By far the larger number of voters in the
precinct reside nearer the annex. Was the
object of the three commissioners in put
ting the precinct SO far away from the
bulk of the vote, to discourage hundreds
of voters from going to the polls?
Conversely, the three commissioners
may say that, were the polls in the school
annex, Poinciana voters wohlds be incon-
venienced. But that is not the case, as prac-
tically all Poinciana voters come to town
daily on their way to work and pass
through town on their way home, whereas
the bulk of voters in the precinct has no
reason to go to Poineiana daily.
Well may THE ORACLE ask, whats
COoking?"

BUILDING VOLUME INCREASES

In the first 9 months of 1947, construc-
ton i'm place totaled more than 50 bill
lion, as compared with less than 81 bill
lion in 1916
The U. S. Commerce Department pre-
diets that the industry will produce an
even greater volume of work than the SIP
billion total now estimated for 1947
The mounting strength of the demand
for construction in the face of the current
price level has amazed those who had
predicted a recession in building. Leaders
of the industry say that present prices
will hold for some time, being biased up-
on wage rates and material costs which
are relatively inflexble.
Apparently any Improvement must
come from greater efficiency and tech
nical advances in the art, both of which
are long-term developments.

THE ORIGIN OF BRIDAL"

Take. the society page of any news
paper, daily or weekly, and you will find
that one ssof the words most frequently
used is Bridal
Consult any dictionary and you will
learn, if you do not already know, that
the word originally was bride-ale. It had
its origin in ancient England when ale
was the feature of almost every type of
festival. Many of these festivals were for
Embarrassing purposes, such as tithe-ales,
give-ales, and church-ales to facilitate the
collection of parish dues and funds for
needed repairs
The merriest of all of them was, of
course, the bride-ale The setting was as
festive as possible. Presents filled tables
and families and friends of the bridal
couple mingled gaily in their holiday dress
while the bride herself looked her very
best as she poured ale for the guests.
Modern wedding breakfasts and the
custom of wedding presents are said to
have originated with bride-ales.
| Beer and ale have for centuries been
| closely associated with pleasant events
/ and happy surroundings. And today, as in
[ the past, beer and ale have their tradi-
tional roles as the beverages of modera-
ton, sociability and hospitality.

UNITED NATIONS NOT DOING WELL

The published statement of National
commentator that the United States and
Russia are "snarling'' at one another is
an unfortunate view that cannot be ac-
cepted. We have not "snarled" at Russia,
and the United States has made every
human and honest effort to straighten out
disagreements between the two countries.
Ever since the first meeting of the vic
torious governments in World War II the
miscalled Russian statesmen ave
"snarled" at everything that represented
the principles of Democratic Government.
The Russian government maintains I'M
CIVILIZED leaders with apparently nothing
but brutal thoughts in mind They have,
so far, defeated the aims and purposes
of the United Nations.
The sooner We part with Russia. the
better There should be no regret express
ed by the Nations that are trying to do
an honest job in World affairs.
