BARTLETT WANTS SHIPS BUILT FOR
 ALASKA SERVICE
Makes Suggestion to Sub- committee lnvesiigdt-
 ing Transportation

WASHINGTON, July 22.-H-- Delegate Bartlett D-Alaska sug- gested to a congressional commit- tee today that the government construct ships for the Alaska trade and thus permit lower freight rates for the Territory
 He told a a-1cse Merchant Mar inc subcommittee investigating the Alaskan Transportation situation this seems to be the only solu- tion to the problem. He said that ships for the Alaskan trade have to be especiaily constructed. Rep Jackson (D-Wash) saio each ship would cost $2.5o0000.
 Private companies can't afford to build the ships Bartlett said, and if they did Alaskans could not pay the high freight rates necessary to give them reasonable return on their investment. High rates are aad for the people of the Territory discourage people who want tc settle there and are bad for the nation"
 Bartlett said recent freight in creases of about 35 percent in the freight rates added "$4,coo,c00 to the Territory's cost Of living" He agreed with Rep. Bradley tR-4 CaliD that this means about $50 q year increase for each resident of the Territory.
 Chairman Allen (R-Calif), Bart lett and Jackson all agreed that the committee should act speedily to recommend legislation so it can Ee ready when Congress recon venes next January Jackson said if construction of the ships is started next year it will be 1851 before they can be completed.

The Balkan Report

1t might have been suspected that
Russia and Poland would dissent from
the report of the UN Balkan investiga-
ton committee and brand as untrue all
findings critical Of the Soviet satellites.
1t may not be surprising that France
abstained from approving the COM
mittee's conclusions on the grounds
that they went beyond the stipulated lob
of verifying the facts"
But whatever action the UN may
take on the report, the record is spread
before the world. It is a record pre-
pared by a representative international
group. Their on-the-spot observations
confirm the charge that Yugoslavia,
with an assist from Bulgaria and Alban-
ia, has aggravated and prolonged the
Greek civil war.
If this report does nothing else, it
ought to take some Of the wind out of
Russia's blasts at the Truman Doctrine.

So Russia's immediate recovery

grow weaker as Russia grows stronger,
that will probably be all right with the
Soviet government. They will be ready
for .one-by-one picking, as were Yugo-
slavia, then Poland, then Hungary,
then Bulgaria.
But the Marshall plan threatens an
interruption. 1t is not a plan to stop

ing from economic disruption. 1t is not
a move against Russia. F.

Not Easily Scared

On May 20 an airplane crash at La
Guardia field in New York killed more
than 40 persons. The next day a crash
in Maryland killed even more. Two
weeks later, on June Is, there was an
other fatal plane accident in. Virginia.
Yet the Air Transport Association
reports that one domestic airline broke
it's all-time one-week record for the
week beginning June 13. And this rec
ord business was IL per cent above that
of the week ending May 29 (before the
three crashes) and Z per cent over that
Of the week ending June 6.
If these figures are right then we
must admit we have been wrong in our
assumption that a series of crackups
scares passengers out of the air.

May Be Saucers' Fault

Another tradition appears about to
60 to the winds.
Tornado disturbances are partial to
valley areas. The Mississippi basin
has been their favorite playground, al
though occasionally a prodigal gale
wanders off on an experimental jour-
ney into strange regions.
Now we find the coastal area visit
ed, if not by an actual tornado, at least
by a storm that closely resembles one.
And this is as Unusual as an I'M
pleasant day in California, by Cali
fornians' own testimony.
T%ornadoes seldom trespass on hurri-
cane territory.
Maybe, since this visitation up zeal
the Virginia line somebody will explain
1t as a by-product of the s%ky-saucer in

Logic In Contradictions

The official Soviet estimate of the
Paris conference and the Marshall plan,
as published by the Tass news agency,
is a good example of the surface con-
tradictions in Russia's foreign policy
and political philosophy.
Russia wanted no co-ordinated &C.
onomic planning by European coun-
tries in connection with American aid.
Russia argued against Interference"
Each country, in the Soviet view, should
total up it's own needs and apply for
American aid - a plea for a handout
rather than a plan for recovery.
An overall program would have up
set various recovery plans already un-
der way, according to Moscow. Just
how the sick countries of Europe could
recover in economic isolation Russia
does not explain. But that is obviously
what she wants.
Russia also wanted to divide recov-
cry on a interchangeable basis.
The principal wartime Allies should be
taken care Of first, then the lesser AL
lies, and finally, at some undetermined
date, Germany. Europe's economic prob
lens do not seem to be parceled off
quite that neatly. ,
Likewise the Soviet government
hints in it's statement that American
aid might mean American domination
Thus Russia again presented herself
to the world not only as ultra-suspi-
cious, but ultra-nationalistic and isola-
tionistic, the same attitude that has
marked Russa's whole approach to the
United Nations.
Yet the Russian government is the
Russian Communist Party. The latter
is the nucleus of the world Communist
Party. It loudly proclaims itself of the
worlds workers. Its aim is global com
munism through world revolution.
Nothing nationalistic or isolationistie
about that.
The Russian government breaches q
gospel of u%ntouchable sovereignty and
non-interference by outsiders in a coun-
try's internal affairs, But while it is
preaching, it INDUCES in the inconsistent
practice of imposing a communistie
form of government on its unwilling
neighbors.
Yet all this may be added up to a
logical total. The basic Soviet inten-
ton seems to be to build up Russia TO,
the present. 1t has swallowed up enough
of it's neigbors for immediate nourish.
ment. 1t has German slave labor and
