Passing the Buck Is Not the Way

Seattle Times)


 One serious difficulty that continues to bedev Alaskans and the shipping companies that them is being thoroughly studied in Seatte-the repeated arrival in Alaska ports of consgnments of cargo that have been damaged or pfered enroute. heritage of the war this problem is for which solution must be found in the interests of Seattle shippers the steamship companies and Alaska customers as well for the maintenance of cordial relations be- this port and the cities of the northern Terri tory.
 Blame for the conditions of which Alaskans plain in this connection is not easily placed. When packages of food clothing liquor, radios and many other commodities particularly those in scarce supply reach their destinations in the north their recipients constantly finding the contents damaged en oute, else the containers have been deliberately opened and footed Ship and stevedore crews alike disclaim responsibility, each casting blame upon the other. i The shipping companies, in the end, must foot the bill for loss damages, but that is insufficient consolation to Alaska merchants and their customers. What they want is the supply of goods they have ordered in need quantity and in shape to be sold and used
 The situation has various ramificatons. It helps to keep the cost of shppng cargo to Alaska high and has bearing rates. It keeps Alaskans unhappy and builds no good will among them toward Seattle. Seattle business houses that ship goods to Alaska can apply remedy themselves. They make that all commodities northward securely packaged that they will travel safely and cannot be easily opened. But in addition to that recourse, careful attention by government agencies seems clearly indicated
 So far the situation has fallen betwixt and be- tween the indifference of the several Federal bureaus that might have been expected to act Seattle ship pers should, of take all precautions to protect their interests But both Seattle and Alaska would welcome effective intervention on the part of l the United States Department of Justice

Federal Reserve Bank of New York gold bullion to the value of more than S8000O000. This is not likely to be the last such transaction in the course of 1947.
 Indeed further sales of gold to the United States
 inevitable Britains stock still about $2 300 900 0C0 But this represents metal supply on which all the British dominons have claims It is the gold supply of the entire sterling area
 By further sales of gold Britain can stretch her dwindling dollar supply for a time And if worse comes to worst. the British government probably could realize some additional dollars by compelling British citizens sell such liquid assets as they hold in the United States-American stocks and bonds for example
 This process of liquidation however must be con- sidered last resort and regrettable one. For Britain like some other European countries normally imports than she exports, particularly in respect to oodstuffs By liquidatng assets in America, the British deprive themselves of the steady dollar in come from these investments. This makes it just that much harder in the long run to reach balance of international payments.
 The whole process of selling gold and other liquidation is at best a stop-gap device. So is the extension of credits by the United States. Either is justified tl) to temporary crisis, which be shown to be temporary, (2) to aid in the restora ton of nations productivity, when the loan credit can be shown to be reasonably certain of rebuilding productive facilities
 Thus the latest sales Of gold to this country not to be regarded as a solution for anything. They are not full substitute for the stop-gap assist ance from America which has been proposed to meet Brtain's dollar shortage until the Marshall formula can be implemented But they do serve to postpone little longer the time of reckoning when Britain and America will have to sit down together and determine in what measure the United States properly assist the better to reach self supporting status once more

You are merely hangers-on.
 The reference to the Jacob.ns of the French Revolution prompted one of Vishinsky's targets to ask;
 And when, Mir Vishinsky, can we hanpers~on expect cur heads to roll?"
 As abruptly as he started, Vishin- sky stopped One of the YugoslaVs present then asked how his country should vote on the question of Pal estine.
 Why don't ycu think for your selves?" the Vice Comm ssar shot back
 This. If course, is exactly what the satellite nations would like to do. But when he was asked what stand Russia would take on Pales- tine, Vlshinsly was eyasive. He would not commit h nself.
 All Of which convinced his satel- lite listeners that Vishinsky had not yet received instructions from Moscow ordering him how to vote on Palestine, and that was why he gave them no instructions.
 Vishinsky. of course. never dream cd that word of his dressing down would leak beyond the iron cur tain. But it did.

COMMUNISTS IN UNIONS

The Communists have always shrewdly understood that labor unions afforded them their most effective avenue to influence in capitalist society Accord ingly they have joined-nftrated, we think, is the appropriate colloqual term-key unions the control of which might become decisive for the economy and by the tactics of harassment obuscation and tenacy for which they have become notorious have managed in a few situations to secure real dominance. The effort constantly going forward unions to keep the Communists from gaining control, or to oust them where they have gained it, is vital at once to the labor movement and to the national security.
 The struggle to keep Communists from control has lately become overt one in two important unions the United Automobile Workers and the Ma tional Maritime Union. Walter Reuther President Of the former organization, and Joseph Curran, Presi- dent of the latter have openly challenged the Con- munists to a showdown This has, of course, ehcited outraged charges of factionalism, Red-baiting and demagoguery. And indeed there is danger in this kind of internal dissension; before the JAW was rent and nearly ruined by it. But there is an even graver danger in ignoring disease which threat ems to subVert the unions whole character and pur- pose.
 It is a stipulation of the JAW constitution that no office, elective appointive, may be held by anyone subservant to Communist, Nazi or Fascist organization which it's allegiance to govern
 en than the United States Canada, directly CT indirectly" MT Reuther wants this constitutional edict enforced He has chosen, has MT Curran in respect of the maritime workers what to us the appropriate and thoroughly democratic way of meeting the ssue-a direct appeal to his fellow mem bes They will have decide where the real interest of their union lies Their respective unions will have to judge the validity of Messrs Reuthers and Currans charges They can scarcely doubt if they look about them that the interest of the Communists is not the interest of American labor.

 Luckman's point point argu- ment lett the distillers with little to say One voice in the rear com plained:
 We thought this was going to be conference where we could dis cuss our views and make up our minds"
 T assumed all of you listened to the radio and read the newspa ] pors," snapped the food czar. | Howard T. Jones, executive se- orCtary of the Distilled Spirits In- stitute, read a statement offering 10 cut production 50 percent until LeXt June, instead of the complete 60-day whiskey holiday
 This is an emergency matter retorted Luckman Savings over long period of time wouldn't do the job, What we need is grain immediately = to relieve starvation this winter

 Not all the distillerS were so re- luctant Several independents led by Publirker of Philadelphia, voted unqualified support for the whis- key holiday.

VHISKEY HOLIDAY

It was the big four of the dist.l- ling business who were least will ing to cooperate when Charles Luckman, newly appointed food czar met with whiskey distillers in a closed door session to urge whis- key holiday
 Actually, Luckman didn't give them much chance to argue. He had prepared a speech - without notes-which was almost an ulti- matum.
 Hunger breeds chacs,' he warn ed Chaos breeds desperation. Des- perate men are dangerous men, and they don't care who feeds them
 Then LEckman proceeded to knock down all distjller objections before they could be raised He promisei that he would not request ar extension of the whiskey shut down beyond sixty days. Wheat, he

SAYS MILITARY
 SUPPLY STATIONS
 ARE TOO BUNCHED
One or Two Atom Bombs Dropped Gould Cripple
 Activities on Pacific

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-LR- A House Armed Services Sub committee said today that one or two atom bombs dropped in the San Francisco Bay area probably would be enough to cripple, and perhaps fatally. all American ac- tivitieS in the Pacific
 Referring to the location "vir- tually side by side" of the Army and Navy supply bases in Oakland, the Marine Corps supply depot in San Francisco, the Naval Shipyard at Hunters Point and the Navy Air Base at Alameda, the group said:
 We believe that atomic weapons could destroy them all, and fur theImore, they are so constructed that modern weapons could easily be able to reduce them to rubble. ,"
 The subcommittee, which in- spected the area last September, sad the Armed Forces should con- sider relocating the supply centers and eliminating duplicate facil- ities.
 The report said subcommittee members "surmised that consider ations Of economy now are govern ing-to perhaps too great an ex- tert-the strategic plans of the Army and Navy" and added:
 Tn che instance in particular, we were advised flatly that an important installation is located m this area for economy reasons only although the location ac- krowledgedly is strategically poor"
 The report said, however, that Congress should provide constant "piodding and inquiry" to spur consolidation of separate facilities maintained unnecessarily by Gffer- ent arms of the service.
 It urged Secretary of Defense Forrestal to initiate extensive studies between the services on the topmost level, at the earliest possible date, to insure that local consultations are made"
 The inspection was made by Reps. Jack z. Anderson (R-Calif) Rizley CR- Okla), Havenner (D- Calil) and Holifield (D-Calif).
