Russia's Preparation Claims
(New York Times


 The Potsdam agreement which put quarter oi Germany's arable land and her second industrial center under Polish administration, also provided tha the of Germany should be treated an economic unit that Germany should retain an economy capable of feeding her own people, and that separations should be met by removals of unnecessary German industrial equipment and should be completed by Feb ?, l948. Tn plain violation of that agreement Russia has com pletely detached her zone from German economy and has exploited it for her own benefit to it's complete exhaustion while dumping millions of additional Ger mans into the American and British zones, to be fed at Allied expense.
 Now in further violation of that agreement and in conformity with her customary practice of attempt ing to sell everything twice Russia offers at the Mos conference to agree to the economic unlfication of the rump Reich but only if she is allotted SOOO0- in additional German reparatons at 1888 prices which would bring the total to than Sl50000 000- 00O This would be paid in twenty years, and would be collected by means of an Allied occupation for the same period and the admission Of Russia to the control of the Ruhr without reciprocal admission of the Western Allies to control within the Russian 
 Russia justifies these demands on the ground that the war cost her total Of s485o00 00000O0 or nearly half the total spent by the Big Four But quite aside from the fact the Russian figure appears to exceed Russas total national wealth it must be said that Russia has already compensated herself quite literally by her own actions She has annexed more than 250- 900 square miles of territory containing 230oOOOo people, whose value is ncacuab,e. She has footed all Eastern Europe and Manchuria. And she has been collecting direct separations through seizures and slave labor whose value former Secretary Byrnes has esti- mated at no less than Sl40O00000OO. Meanwhile the United Staes and Britain have been compelled to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to feed the German population.
 Furthermore, Russia proposes to collect this vast sum primarily from the British and American zones For that purpose she willing to to raise German industrial production 45 cent above the level hith- erto agreed upon and German steel production to nearly three times her original proposals. However such an increase would have to be financed first of all by American and British capital, and even then, unless Germanys agricultural are returned to her this increased production would scarcely suffice to feed the Germans. This means that any repara- tions paid that production would have to be com pensated for by increased Allied food supplies In other words what Russia proposes, in effect, is that all Germany be geared to work for Russia for gen. eraton and that the other Allies not only forego reparations for themselves but also pump new funds into Germany for Russia's benefit
 Secretary Marshall flatly rejected this proposal on behalf of the United States

THE PULP INDUSTRY

Recent Statements by Secretary Of the Interior Julius A. Krug to the effect that the establishment of the pulp industry Alaska is not far off seem little difficult to believe We that Regional Forester Frank Heintzlerlan who recently said that it would be at least three years before pulp operation could be started in Alaska is little pessimistic
 Heintzleman has reason to think that way, as have many Alaskans For about 30 years now, at various times the establishment of pulp industry in Alaska has been mot far off But each time some dis advantage has caused the pulp industry capital to go elsewhere high cost of transportation, aboriginal rights claims fostered by the Interior Department government red tape in securing sites, high wages or other factors
 Several months ago the Cellanese Corporation oi America invested a considerable sum in British Co., llImbia near Prince Rupert rejecting Alaska agaln Probably the determining factor there was the much lower wages which such operation would pay Tn Canada as compared to Alaska. The taxation factor also probably was another Of late years the Alaska Legislature has not been inclined to go easy on cur large industries and there would be no reason to expect that pulp industry would not be required to pay taxes several hundreds per cent higher III Alaska than in Canada is the with the fishing industry Canada also recently reduced income taxes 2e per cent British Columbia has new mines act which makes new operations in mining tax free for three years
 In other words, Canada is going out after Amerl-

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor of the Empire-On the first page of the Empire of April 21, the following appears Lewis said his net income from the Juneau Water Works is about s35.O00 a year and that he paid taxes amounting to S400 there"
 The language quoted was not in accordance with my testimony be- fore the Public Lands Subcommit- tee.
 A statement showing the opera tions of the Juneau Water Works for the year l946 appeared recently in the Empire, and it does not seem fair to have published the language quoted without comment. Of course, my statement was that the gross income, not net income, was about S33000 and that taxes paid to the Territory amounted to about S4oo. This does not include the Juneau City taxes, nor Federal income and excise taxes, nor the Veterans Sales tax, which I have paid and which does not appear on the monthly water bills.
 I hope you will publish this com munication, and so correct a distor- ton that was planned to discredit the testimony given by me at the hearing. I am not making any charges against the Empire, as l believe your paper printed the mat ter just as it was received from Washington, D. c.
 I was also qoted in the press dis patches as stating that Alaskans should be given the right to elect their own government" What I said was "elect their own governor.
 (Signed) R. F. LEWIS.

fire Of Congress is licking at the outskirts of labor's house. If we can't get together now, we'll never do it. I propose that we set up a joint legislative program as the first step toward unity"
 But AFL president Bill Green ob- jected. He said sufficient unity al ready existed between the two groups regarding legislation At this point John '. Lewis nearly knocked some of tnc performers off their seats.
 We've got to do something about this legislation" boomed John L. You can't trust the Republicans. I've found out that the industrial ists bought the Republican party body and soll in the last election. Of course yo, can't trust the Dem ocrats, either
 Several of the conferees leaned forward at Lewis angry words. They remembered that during the climax of the l940 presidential campaign he had staged a nation wide broadcast urging defeat of the Democrats, and ever since had been working with the Republicans.

CONGRESS OF AMERICAN
 LABOR

The AFL conferees refused to budge on this, however, and turned to the problem of organic labor un- ity. Green suggested that all the CIO unions TSturn to the AFL on a full and equal footing.
 You come to our convention in October. We'll give each ol your unions a vote and we'll all be one happy family" Green urged. We can work out our problems then As a concession he then offered to hand over to the C1O the AFL textile and auto unions, which are numerically small, and which could be merged with the larger CIO tex tile and auto unions.
 Murray countered by proposing that a new organization to be call ed the Congress of American La bor" be formed comprising both groups But JoLn L. Lewis baked.
 Speaking fc. myself, and not for the ATL," ne said, T think the CIO should come back into the AFL, the way I came back in. came back in the AFL convention and took my chances on being treated fairly l don't see why you fellows don't do the same"
 sJohn," argued Murray, T don't see why you don't favor setting up a Congress of American labor as a new overall organization. There's nothing wrong with that plan. After all, you proposed it to the AFL when you were in the CIO I don't see where there's less good to it now than there was then"
 SAVE UNION DUES
 Broad-gauPed teamsters union president Daniel Tobin then talked about the great need for unity, pointing out that if the two groups united, considerable financial say ings could be made.
 Tt would cut down your per cap ita dues" argued Tobin.
 its not question of saving dues that's involved here, replied Murray. we've built a great or ganization and we have pride in it. Above all, we've pride in the prin- ciples for which CIO stands. Our membership is glad to pay the cost of maintaining it's principles. ! Toward the end of the confer ence, Bill Green stood up, delivered an impassloned hall hour talk. Moving about the room. Green be- came more and more excited, waved his arms and shouted as if address ing a mass meeting rather than nine experienced trade unionists.
 Finally, AFL secretary George Meany jokingly asked, isn't any one going to pay attention or show respect for these words?"
 At the meeting next day, Murray was all set to "Gromyko"-walk out of the meeting in a huff.
 After more than an hours hag- gling, Green again proposed that the CIO come back into the AFL as a junior partner Whereupon John L. Lewis, who had been on

JURIsDICTIoNAL DISPUTES

Murray turned the conversation back to the CIO plan of labor un- ity He proposed that the two labor groups jointly sponsor a series of coast-to-coast broadcasts plus large advertising campaign to block anti-,abor legislation. Green replied that the AFL was already doing just that. Murray then proposed that the CIO and AFL work out program for ending jurisdictional disputes and secondary boycotts, two of the sorest points in the en- tire labor picture. His plan was to arbitrate jurisdictional disputes
 If we don't put an end to jur- isdictional disputes" Murray said, with rich Scottish burr, then the Congress is going to do it for us. !"
 Green observed that the AFL had been troubled by jurisdictional disputes for the past 75 years and that nothing could be dcne about them. AFL secretary-tr surer George Meany added:
 We've been unable to work out the jurisdictional- dispute problem among our own unions in the AFL. We have more problems with our own jurisdictional fights than we have with the CIO, so how can we make an agreement with the CIO?"
 Murray warned that unless the jurisdictional mess was settled, the way would always he opened for nasty labor legislation.
 We've got to put our own house in order,' Murray said, "or we'll have to face the fire from Congress with little help"

good behavior during the two days of conferring, exploded.
 We're fooling around with words and getting nowhere" he fumed. Either you take it or leave it."
 The soft-spoken Phil Murray be- gan to gather up his papers.
 There will be no intimidation of the CIO by you or anybody else, MT. Lewis he said.
 However, teamsters' Dan Tobin called on Lewis to pipe down. La ter, Murray proposed the meetings he recessed, to be resumed at an in- definite date. That ended labor's latest and most serious attempt at unity

standards for the production and
sale OF milk, has announced that
these regulations will be presented
