|-W.D - A lonely figure back in
Dudley, England, haunts Harold
Wilson, Britain's secretary for
overseas trade, as he meets here
with officials of II other nations
to lay down a pattern Of freer In
ternational commerce.
The figure is Silas the sea lion,
the last of the sea lions of the
Dudley zoo. Because Britain is
short of dollars, Silas has been
deprived of e lion companion
ship.
He was happy until the war
broke out, gambling with four
other sea lions in the ZOO and
getting sleek and fat on tidbits
the people of Dudley brought him.
But the war finished that. The
other four sea lions became cas-
ualties. The strictly rationed res

selves first.
Recently, Silas' friends in Dud-

The Inner Passage
Cincinnati Enouirer)


 The rocky reef which brought death to A Army transport crewmen recently when their ship was wrecked, is only of a long series of natural hazards along the interior waterway connecting Seattle and the ports of Alaska The inner passage is shorter and much of it's waters are calm. But its dangers have contributed much to the high shipping costs which have hndered Alaska's development. De- velopment and improvement of this important water way would do much for the great northwestern Ter rtory which. these days, is struggling toward state hood.
 Some of the channels along the route are very Some of the twisting water lanes are difficult navigate Only comparatively small freighters can travel the passage with safety. This is one of the given by ship operators for the tariffs they charge on freight delivered to northern ports.
 During the war the Army and Navy worked franticaly to remove of the obstacles The route for a time was the only safe waterway con- meeting Alaska with the mainland. Today the route is much navigable than it in l935-but much remains to be done.
 The inner passage is perhaps the most scenic salt waterway in the world The five days from Seattle to Skagway packed with beauty. Giant peaks their hoary heads from coastal mountain ranges. Great glaciers gleam and glitter in the afternoon sunshine. Forests reach from ridges clear to the wates edge Tn some spots your ship is so close to the land that you feel you can reach out and pick the flowers which, in early spring are there in pro- fusion Mountain rivers come tumbling down from the high hills Tiny fishing villages here and there break the wilderness.
 The lane is safe enough for small craft-much safer than many lanes But the recent tragedy hghlights the fact that it is not safe it might be As Aaska's importance increases, both eco- nomically and strategcay, the importance of the inner passage also wl increase Even now it is of inestmabe value to the nation Its development and improvement should be speeded in keeping with these facts.

Four men had been killed Bullet holes still marked the walls. The strike, Communist-inspired, was partly against receiving American aid under the Marshall Plan. But on the walls alongside the bullet marks, when the Friendship Train arrived, was a huge banner read ing: welcome ct merci!
 Incidentally, one thing which made a great impression in France is the fact that many American railroad workers contributed their salaries for one day to help haul the Friendship Train across the LISA. The fact that the CIO steel workers in Pittsburgh gave a car Of milk and the steel workers and coal miners in Windber, Pa, gave car has greatly impressed left-Wing French labor leaders. To some extent, it has taken the wind out of their argument that it's only American capitalists who want to help the French and for purely imperialistic reasons.
 At Valence, scene of the recent bitter railroad strike, several Com munist members of the City Coun- cil came to the Friendship Train reception in the City Hall. They stayed in the background and seemed more curious than hos pitable. But other Frenchmen re- marked that public opinion was so strong Tor the Friendship Train, the Communists obviously thought it was smart politics to be pres ent.
 At American railroad stations, the Friendship Train remained only 45 minutes But because nothing like this had ever come through France before, the French insisted that the train stay longer. Our minimum stop, therefore, was two i hours and in some cases we spent the entire afternoon and evening being feted by these hoSpitable people.
 Gen Henri Giraud. leaaer of the French forces in North Africa who cooperated with U. S. troops. came to visit the Friendship Train at its first stop-Dijon. At the Friendship Train reception in Ly- ons, the local Grand Rabbi took the local Grand Multi in tow, in- troducing him to the Americans The Jews and Mohammedans in Lyons are already practicing the principle of your Friendship Train, V the Rabbi said.

Since then, I haven't liked Americans.

 Following this, Robert Blake of American Aid to France explained briefly that the food was going chiefly to French children and told how it was being distributed through French schools, orphan ages and hospitals He also intro duced representatives of the three American church groups-Protes- tant, Catholic and Jewish-which are supervising the distribution to- gether with representatives of two French Groups, the French Red Cross and Enhe'aid

In France, however, my brother-who has spent some years here for the International News Service and the National Broad casting Company-did a beauti- ful job of explaining the Friend ship Train to the French people.
 He told various stories about the schoolchildren, the labor un- ions, the businessmen, the church. es. the farmers and the different towns which contributed to the train and he did it so graphically that it brought cheers from the crowds at the railroad stations.
