 Among other things, Hess said, If we (meaning Ger many and Great Britain) made peace now, America would be furious America really wanted to inherit the British Empire"
 There you have in nutshell from nut One ques- tion that has been troubling great many people all along and that is, What fighting for?" Hesss statement thus clarifies everything. Apparently the Nazis were our best friends, but did not know it.

One Mans Opinion
tBy Walter Kiernan)

This should be a quiet summer from now on the labor bill is out of the way and Henry Wallace is resting until August. We still have John Lewis, but there's word of encouragement there, too - bituminous expert says our coal will last only another l,500 years. Henry's last shot was that if the Democratic party doesn't stay liberal he won't stay with it - this came as surprise to many Democrats who didn't know he was with it now. But don't underestimate Hank - he packs 'em in like bank night at his hoedowns, and when a politi- clan can get people to buy gas that's news. I hear Dewey and Taft won't go out now unless they get 85 cents for the first four rows and the balloon concession. There is some indication that be- fore the summer is over Hawaiians will be entitled to share our joys and tax rates. , The Republicans are pushing the bill for statehood. - Republicans can always use an extra state going into an election year. If they don't get Hawaii In '48 they'll try Alaska in 52 and Staten Island in '56. Third party talk is plentiful these days - It is felt that a splendid ticket could be made up of men who couldn't make any other ticket.

Pressure On Sweden

Russia is unlimbering her heav- jest artillery and is about to begin an assault on the Marshall plan for European recovery which promises to be unexampled in its ferocity.
 Before adiourning, the sixteen nations that took part in the recent Paris conference made a friendly gesture in the direction of the Soviet Union, whose absence from the meeting everybody deplored. They voted unanimously to leave the door open to Russia and her satellites. ...
 This gesture will not appease the men in the Kremlin. Undoubt-

 WHILE THE SPEECHES of Henry Wallace in recent months have contained strange ideas about Rus sia the former secretarys words Alaska and Siberia in his Seattle talk recently rational
 Wallace seemed to have nothing new to add to what has already been said time and again by people who did not have to Siberia illustration of what Alas ka should become Wallace has viewed Siberia, how ever, can't blame him for speaking though in the press reports at the point where he said Rus sas current activity in Siberia should not alarm the United States. There differ with him.
 There to be two schools of though about Rus sa, if you take the arguments for what they evil denty intended to One school says in effect, Russia is treacherous naton.' The other retorts: Not bit Russian pople are just like us
 The fact is, these statements based upon two diff ferent conceptions of what Russia s One would have believe the is the people, the other that the people are the government. Either could be right for the exact status has been determined in Russia itself let alone by the rest of the world The uncertainty has great deal to do with the present era of dstrust and fear.
 That's why we think it is just as well to be alarmed about Russas expansions in Siberia, at least to the extent that this feeling beabors to keep peace in Alaska.
 We also think that Wallace should have been speak, ing in Russia when he urged the exchange of students between University of Alaska and Russa's univer- sity of kutsk We could have applications his desk tomorrow if there any chance of getting students into Siberia so he doesn't need to blame us for that "iron curtain"

 Now the Russian heat is about to be turned on the Scandinavian countries so as to frigh.en them into a retreat from the Marshall plan. Russia believes them 10 be more vulnerable to Soviet pres sure than any of the other nations participating in the European re- covery move.
 The first target is Sweden. An oblique warning to that country to go slow in cooperating with the western powers in general and the United States in particular was contained in a recent article in Izvestia. The article aSSailed American economic penetration" of Sweden and expressed concern over "the attack O. the American dollar on Sweden"
 Some days earlier, Sweden was, by implication, accused of well coming and permitting an ideolo- gical campaign to be waged against Russia by Americans.
 Aware of Soviet resentment over their participation in the Paris conference. the Scandinavian delegates have emphasized their determination 10 keep the discus sions on an economic level and not 10 permit them 10 fake any political form. This will certainly not disarm Moscow. The Russians are as opposed 10 the economic unification of Europe. except un- der Russian control. as they are 10 political unification.
 The Russians are not playing for marbles. They know that the stakes are tremendous. If they succeed in making the Paris pro- gram meaningless, they will have dealt American prestige a stag gering blow. They will stop at nothing to achieve that aim. With equal realism, the American peo- pie and Congress must realize that, no matter what it costs, the carrying out of the Marshall plan will be the cheapest kind of econo- mic and political insurance for the United States.
