archbishop Of the church with each Of the
civil political factions supporting Z candidate
of its own and the result extremely difncult
to predict at this date. The final choice prob
ably will not be known before the end of the
year in view Of the time consuming steps
required.
Meanwhile. the British, apparently motivatsd
more by the potential Middle East defense
considerations in which this island could play
q vital part, have taken the bull by the horns.
Lord Winster. Colonial Governor, at the end
Of August issued the following unqualified
declaration:
Il am now authorized by His Majesty'S gov
ernment to deny any suggestion now current
or which may be made to the effect that the
idea Of the cession of Cyprus to Greece is being
entertained in responsible quarters In the
United Kingdom.
mo agreement between the British and
Greek governments concerning the union OF
Cyprus with Greece is In existence In any
form whatsoever. Further, no such agreement
Is in course Of negotiation and no such agree
ment Is contemplated Statements or rumors
to the contrary are untrue and entirely with
out foundation"
As = gesture toward an increased degree of
self-rule. however. Lord Winster some months
ago proposed that q constitution be drafted
for the island and that its form be shaped in
part at least through the deliberations Of a
consultative assembly, which both Greeks
and Turks were invited to sit.
Communists Are Ready and Willing.
BY . rather paradoxical quirk in local poll
tics, the right wing faction has declined to
participate in the assembly. The Akel Party
on the other hand, agreed to name delegates
to the assembly but let 1t be known publicly
that their purpose was to make the body
forum for the Enosis issue rather than 4 dis
cussion of Constitution The expected result
now is that the Governor will complete the
membership OF the assembly by appointment,
call one session and then adjourn it sine die
Meanwhile. other factors are having direct
bearing on the intensity with which the Greek
right and left wings implement their avowed
support of Enosis.
On the right side for example, there is the
obvious question of whether the personal po-
sition Of the moderately well-to-do and more
conservative Greek Cypriots would be bettered
by Greek rule rather than British. Despite
the shortcomings Of British colonial admins
tration it is not believed likely there would be
improvement under Greek administration al
though there would be removed the ranking
circumstance Of rule by another nationality
and by q class of colonial servants for whom
the more cultured Greek Cypriots have little
personal respect.
On the left side there is the equally obvious
paradox of whether Communist dominated
political faction here should be aggressive in
its demand for union with an anti Communist
government in Athens.
Thus will the course of what Is now the
American effort in Greece be mirrored In
Cyprus politics-with the entire scene high
lighted by the flaming words which Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill gave to the world
in that tumultuous summer OF 1941

An American Kumikuze Corps?

The proposal in the current issue of the
Air University's Quarterly Review that q
sort of American kamikaze corps be
formed to drop atomic bombs on distant
enemy targets in event of another war
is certainly thought -provoking-as its
author intended it to be. The thought 1t
will provoke In many lay minds is that
such a desperate measure cannot be re-
conciled with recent development of ten
thousand mile bombers and with progress
being made with guided missiles.
Colonel Dale Smith, Air Force tactician
on the Air University staff at Maxwell
Field, Alabama, suggested the "one-way
flight plan as one answer to the limited
availability of B-36 bombers. Since funds
do not permit of the maintenance of q
large force of long-range bombardment
planes capable of round-trip flights to the
Eurasian continent. Colonel Smith would
have the shorter-rang B-29s and B-50s
manned by volunteers willing to take the
risk of expending themselves as well as
their planes in one-way raids on the
enemy. He believes the crews could be
obtained If they were assured of at least a
fifty-f1fty chance of survival. How this
could be assured remains to be demon
strated.
A factor which this proposal fails to
take into consideration is public opinion
and public opinion cannot be overlooked
in any war policy adopted in a democracy
such as ours. The public would not be
likely to approve the organization of such
a corps unless the Nation were In such
extreme and immediate peril as to justify
the most extreme measures.
Perhaps Colonel Smiths proposal will
provoke some thought on the part of the
public and of members of Congress as to
the adequacy or inadequacy of present
appropriations for military aviation. II
1t can be shown that the only safe alter
native to construction of more B-36s, or
to expanding guided-missile research, is
the creation of an American suicide

Prussia Makes Verbal Attacks on the q.

of the headlines of the day. While the con-
troversy RACES, one atatesman commented on
the lack of interest in international Issues by

some Of this lack Of interest does not come
from q too-incessant cry Of Wolff"
If it was wrong for German and japanese
leaders to propagate aggressive wars then 1t
is just as wrong for the citizens OF any
other nation to do so.
think it Is right that citizens, propaganda
agencies and institutions which create hatred
OF other nations should be brought before
an international court.
We are Christian Nation. and as such
should take the lead in peace-making, not
warmongering. This ideal Is held BY most
of the American people. For myself. the
leaders who influence my opinion sponsor the
Democratic ideal In the Christian way.
Another reason why / believe American
Statesmen are not meriting respect from citi-
zens Of other countries Is their failure TO

setup.

j. Public All Alone

TO the Editor OF The Star:
In depicting current political and economic
trends and in drafting skill Cartoonist Berry,
man is the tops. He generally also Is factually
accurate.
However. this writer was impressed by the
fact that in The Star of September "A the
cartoon perhaps may have been misleading.
To those without knowledge or understanding
of the eventful years of travail which culmi-
mated in the birth of this republic the United
States as symbolized by Uncle Sam, Is repre-
sented as an entity having financial response
bilities distinct from those Of the people Of the
United States, ~ symbolized by the character
u. Public"
OF course, every dollar which the United
States borrows, spends, lends or gives Is OBJ
tained from but one source-the pockets Of the
people, who are. in theory at least the govern
ment Of the United States. Therefore, the car
toon would have been more realistic II Uncle
Sam had been omitted and in addition to high
taxes and prices, the war debt and aid to
Europe also piled on the over-burdened
shoulders and back of J. Public.

the interests Of sound government no oppor-
tunity should be overlooked to convey the above
truth to your readers.

Drinking to Increase Revenue
TO the Editor of The Star:
have before me an item in The Star of
September %, telling of Judge Scott's threat
to impose the maximum fine and sentence on
repeater drunks
OF course the law provides the penalty and
the Judge enforces it. and commend him for
1t. But let's look at 1t from another viewpoint.
During the campaign for the repeal Of the
prohibition amendment. the vets promised
they would work for less drinking don't
hear any great objection now from that quar-
ter. On the contrary, they are advertising
their wares in every way they can. For what
reason? So they can sell more liquor.
Isn't 1t silly, then, to arrest a man who Is
following "the mandate Of the people" which
is what repeal was supposed to be7 Let him
drink, let everyone drink the more the merrier.
The more they drink, the greater the revenue

l listened to your very poor debate on the National Committeeman Bill.
 You failed to state that Delegates to National Conventions are selected as Party honor for work done within the respective parties.
 That no salary or expenses are al- lowed to attend, each paying their own expenses for the trip to Ma tional Conventions.
 You failed to state that this law was once the law of Alaska that you now advocate. that it was repealed by the sensible Legislators when they founo out that it was destroy ing the two party system, that huge sums of monies were spent to elect certain candidates.
 That under this diretcion election Federal jobs were being sold. And further that Democrat was elected Republican National Committeeman and it was such a good joke the Re- publican National Committee re fused to seat him and the Republi- cans of Alaska had no Republican National Committeeman and carpet baggers were appointed to Alaska Federal positions Our Legislators kne wall this and more.
 You both talked a good deal about the Constitution of the United States, the right to vote and your conscience. That the voters would not be allowed to vote and you were so bothered about that when it's not an issue and you are only advocat- ing spite legislation But you do not state, SC we can hear you, that the office of salaried Tax Collector should be elective nor that the of flee of MINING inspector should be elective-its another salaried office. You shout that the voters and the people should have more self gov ernment but all you shout for them to have is voice in paying job. Many States now elect the Tax Collector, Mining Inspector but none of the 48 States CT, Puerto Rico, Ha- waii, Philippine Islands or District of Columbia, have any direct elec- tion of Delegates to political con-
