 The true test to be applied here is the principle of freedom and peaceful intent laid down in the United Nations Charter No aid should will be given to tries which bent present future aggression No United States money should will be given to finance any government in it's assaults the liberty of it's people.
 Admittedly, this test will be extremely difficult to apply and it cannot be applied perfectly in tries The degree of freedom and peaceful intent dferS drasticaly in Russia satellites and by the same say in Czechoslovaka in the tyranny of TtoS Yugosavia.

 But if any of the Russian satellites will accept able United States conditions, and begin some econo- mic association with the western world however small at the beginning, chink at last will be opened in the Iron Curtain This is what Russia will seek at all costs to prevent.

This survey VIII eInDTdce Stuu- jos of tide and icing conditions in the vicinity of Fire Island, which lies off Point Worontzoff, south eas. of Anchorage" the report said.
 The establishment of an all weather port at Fire Island would create an extra port for Whittier in the event that facility becomes too heavily loaded with army sup plies.
 Tt also would save some GA miles of rail haul to Anchorage from Whittier and l20 miles from Seward"
 Irwin w. Silverman, as acting director of the territories division, recently told the Associated Press the Portage-Seward rail line will be dismantled because it is the most expensive part of the Alaska Railroad to maintain.
 He said vessels from the south, deprived of rail link at Seward, could proceed through Cook Inlet to rail terminal to be built at Fire Island, which is to be joined with Anchorage by causeWay. 1 The annual report said both the Alaska Railroad and the interior Ion nor+y,oopt bouo notified tho Ci+u of Seward that, barring a break down of the line, the railroad will remain in operation on the 66- mile section from Seward to Port age for two more years. It added: "This, it is hoped, will be suffi- cient time in which to complete the motor road from Seward to Anchorage, thus insuring the .peo- pie of the former community that they will not be totally cut off from passenger and freight com munication with the Interior when Seward has been abandoned as the southern terminus of the rail- road"
 The railroad has been author ized to spend S4.000,O0O this year and to incur obligations totaling 5,O0O,000, to be paid during fls- cal year l949.
 1 Ut was anticipated a similar amount would be authorized be- tween l949 and 1858, thus g.vng the railroad S34,OOO,O0O, in addi- ton to the surplus materials, for it's rehabilitation program the re- port said.
 Congress also authorized $i,50J,- 900 for 250 miles of new highways and $2,000,000 additional for high way improvement and mainten- ance during fiscal year 1948 ] "This will include work on the vitally important Kenai peninsula and Livengood roads," the report said.
 Maintenance this next year will be performed on 2,758 miles of road-995 miles for year-round use and 1926 for summer use only"
