 Tonight

Tonight at 10:3o in front of the Orpheum theatre someone is going to be happier by one bright and shiny new I947 Ply mouth sedan, as the drawing IS held in the raff1e sponsored by the Kodiak liquor dealers for the benefit of the Alaska Crippled Children's Association.
 All profits go to the assocla- tion, and fourth of the money will be kept by the local chapter for Lurely lccal use. The local drive is part of the territory wide campaign, which has as its main goal the raising of money to help equip and maintain an orthopedic hospital at Sitka for Alaskan children. The Territory matches each dollar collected by the assoclation for hospital use.
 There IS still time for every one to help in the worthy cause, BIS tickets will remain on sac at all local business houses up to the drawing tonight.
 Buy another ticket today and help Kodiak do it's share.

That he also lets loose an occasional
Parthian arrow is evidenced by former

Mr.. Farley wrote that President

PetrillO Checkmated

Musical America has reason to re-
joice in the United States Supreme
Courts ruling that the Lea Act is con
stitutional. It should be possible now
for a district court to find that James
c. Petrillo, president of the American
Federation of Musicians, violated the
act, and so end his despotic rule.
When Mr.. Petrillo ordered a Chica-
60 radio station to employ additional
librarians and the station refused on
the ground that it's present force was
sufficient, the controversy was taken
to court where the act was declared
unconstitutional. Now the Supreme
Court sets aside that decision but
leaves the alleged violation to be decid-
ed by a lower court.
It would appear that the Petrillo
s%tranglehold is at least loosened. Only
by another trial can it be broken. That
it should be broken is unquestionable,
for Mr.. Petrillo was the supreme ad-
vocate of "featherbedding." He would
have required symphony orchestras
and all other musical ensembles to en-
ploy stand-ins for every member, who
would draw pay both for rehearsa!s
and performances-a procedure that
would bankrupt every professional
musical group in the country. He would
have completely dominated radio chains
and individual broadcasting stations,
if he had been permitted to get away
with his scheme.
He has professed to be the best
friend Of musicians, but the fact is
that if he had finally entrenched HIM
self as he set out to do the musicians
of America would have found him their
worst enemy, as they ultimately would
have no jobs at all.
While the Taft-Hartley labor bill
forbids "featherbedding," that is to
say the forced employment of unneces-
sary workers, it is as we'll to know that
this most selfish of the Little Caesars
of union labor has been stopped cold by
the Supreme Court.

Yes, We Haze No Plan

The idea got it's big build-up from
Marshall's { e h at Harvard
commencement. It is not, how
ever, a new idea.
1t was first presented by the U.
S. delegation to the UN General
Assembly last March. The sug-
gesiion was accepted and an Eco
nomic Commission for Europe,
now known as ECE. was created.
1t held its first meeting in Geneva
last May. So there is a going UN
concern to study Europe's needs.
Next meeting of ECE will open
in Geneva July 5. Will Clayton
will be present as U. S. repre-
sentative.
The big question before ECE
will be what the European coun-
tries a do to make themselves
independent and get back on their
feet, with a minimum of U. S. aid.
Clayton points out that the prob
lem Of determining the ability of
the U. S. 10 meet Furope's needs
as outlined by former President
Hoover and amplified by Sen. Ar
thur Vandenberg-is not a State
Department function. That would
be Up to Interior as regards natu-
raj resources, Agriculture as re-
CARDS food, Treasury as regards
finances, and so on. No wheels
have yet been set in motion to
grind out this information.
Concerning Europe's approach
ing great need for dollars with
which to buy what it lacks, there
may be some misunderstanding.
Emphasis has so far been put on
the need for the U. S. to buy
more foreign goods so as to give
Europe more dollars with which
to buy food, fibers, and fuel.
Undersecretary Clayton says
that actually the U. S. has i'm
ported more from abroad than it
did before the war. There is a
demand in the U. S. for still moro
imports. Europe's trouble is that
it cannot produce a surplus of
anything to export cannot even
produce enough for its own needs.
To get Europe in a position to
export more to the U. S. its own
level of production must be
stepped up. That requires more
raw materials than Europe used
to import. Buying them is what
runs up Europe's shortage of dol
lars in the vicious circle.
The situation is becoming more
urgent all the time. Whether it
will wait fer the next Congress to
settle Is a question.

WONDER Q~UESTIONS)
WHICH is THE G
NATI0No

The largest nations in the world
by far are Asiatic peoples. The
biggest of all is China, which is
believed to have a population Of
mere than 422, 900, 900, although no
census has ever been taken. There
are, in addition. IS, 1000, 900 more
Chinese-those of Nanchuria, Mon
golia and Tibet.
Next to China in size comes In
dla, which has nearly 800. 900, 900
people. India is not, however, a
single nation, and it has many diff
ferent stocks and languages, but
most of them are closely related.
The figures that we give include
al, OF the people of this huge coun-
try.
We see, then. that China and
India together have about 847, 000.-
900 people, or more than one-third
Of the entire population Of the
world.
Japan was another very big Ash
attic nation, before 1915. She had
5 ,0OO, OUO IN japan proper, While
the japanese Empire contained
about 105, 900, 900. Now she has no
empire.
OF what we call the white ma
tions, Soviet Russia is the largest,
with an estimated population of
l96, 600, 900. Many Of these people
are Asiatics, more closely akin to
the people Of China and Manchuria
than to the people Of western Eu-
rope and the Americas.
Next after Soviet Russia comes
the United States, with more than
121, 600, 900 people according to the
1910 census. The growth of this
country has been more rapid than
that of any other ration1in the his
tory of the world. In 1880, she had
only about so, 600, 900, so that her
population increased almost three
times in less than two-thirds Of a
century. This Is part1y because

WASHINGTON what Can We
Do for Europe?" is now the mum.
Der one question in circles where
international affairs are discussed.
and it has everyone talking in
circles.
Intimations that the U. S. has
a five or a ten-year plan all
worked out-that it will be a
peacetime lend-lease plan-or that
it will be strictly a loan program
with every expectation that repay
ment and interest Will be demand
ed in full-all such possip is pure
ly in the realm of speculation.
There is no American plan for
Europe, period.
There will be no American plan
till the European leaders get to-
gerher and decide what they need.
Secretary Of State George c.
Marshall has said this. Undersec.
rotary Will Clayton, in charge of
economic affairs, has repeated
and emphasized the words of bis
boss. Still the idea dies hard. It
would be so much nicer if some
body had a plan.
Part if this general belief that
the U. S. has a plan all worked
out comes from the fact that Sec
rotary Marshall now has a long
range policy planning staff, meet
ing in a conference room adioin-
ing his palatial office in the new
State Department building.
Head of this policy group is
George F. KEENAN,, a career
Foreign Service officer with 81
years experience, including three
assignments in Moscow. Working
with him are Joseph E. johnson,
American expert on UN Security

secretary Marshall's idea that
