states nave been set up. Let AS suppose that
the Hindus and MOslems, like the North
and the South, proceed to fight out the is
sue between them. BY no stretch of the
imagination could we assume that the
civil war IN India jeopardizes the safety
and security of the United States 1t would
be localized war, deplorable and tragic
as all wars are, but it would not be a men
ace to free, civilized and cultured peoples.
There is need of an organization of the
peace-loving nations to prevent the TYNE
OF war instituted by Hitler and the JAP
anese. This is an imperative necessity. It
would tend to protect the peaee-loving
nations. from wanten- criminal aggression.
While it may be desirable to have an Or
ganization strong 'eneugh to .prevent all
wars. there is no such dire neeessity for a
police! power able to prevent the outbreak
of hostilities anywhere. The situation de-
tailed as to India explains this difference.

ICE TO MAKE RAIN

News items from several sections of
the nation report that farmers have taken
to the skies in an effort to produce rain,
using airplanes to drop dry ice into clouds.
In at least two instances, the reports
tell us that rain followed, but the moisture
did not always descend on the places Sc
lected for the rainfall. It will be interest
ing to follow further developments of this
effort to persuade Nature to provide rain
where needed and when needed.

 But agriculture is meeting with difficult times over q large part of America the weather is cutting

The Alaska Native Service, under the recently enacted Interior Department appropriations bill will get S3 for the ensuing fiscal year for operations in Alaska.
 A statement issued the other day by the ANS claimed that million dollars would have to be shaved from current operating expenses We don't know whether our reporter or the ANS erred Actually ths appropriation is only about S2O0oOo less than last year million dollars more requested from Congress, but then every department always asks for more than it receives.
 The cost of government is being cut down gradu- ally in order to lessen the tremendous burden upon the American taxpayer. Actually, we believe the ANS came out in good shape in securing as much as 1t did when other Interior Department funds were sliced much severely.
 Next year will be even tougher, since the demand to reduce government expenditures will be much greater as a result of the faure on the part of Congress to override President Truman's tax reduc- tion bill veto and case the tax burden on the indi- vidual taxpayer.

Army Enlistments

fNeW York Times
 The enlistment figures for the Army since the expiration of Selective Service March 3l indicate that we are losing the gamble that President Truman said we would be taking in relying on volunteers to keep our Army and Air Force strength up to lOIOooo men and the Navy at 571 000 Against minimum requirement. of 10000 men a month for Army ana Air the Army reports April enstments toaled l60o0 May 15O OO0 and the first two weeks of June-alWays good enlistment month because of high school graduatons-1
 In his message to Congress March MT Tru-
 man said that only time could give the answer to the question whether ranks could be filled with voun- eers He said then that if they could not be filled by that means he would to ask that Selective Service be restored increasingly evident that the quotas are not going to be reached With expiration of Sept 1 of some benefits now held out inducements, 1t would not be surprising to enistments fall even below their present inadequate totals.
 The time is approaching when Congress must face the fact that if our Army and Navy are to De kept anywhere the manpoWer that has been set as a minimum for assurance of national security, Selective Service will have to be reimposed We do not see why it is a hard decision to make. Selective Service spreads the burden equally through the whole population it is elastic it is fair it democratic No Army and Navy and Air Force we now have But there are few who deny the necessity. And II the necessity exists the right way to meet 1t IS in the practicable way, the honest way the democratic way the way of Selective Service Military service should not depend degrees of patriotism or on economic necessity It should be burden shared by all

VERMONT COP MARBLE FOR
 TRUMAN

Among recent gifts received by President Truman were two sets of marble bGckends. They were presented, appropriately enough, by a rock-ribbed Republican, Rep. Charles A Plumley of Vermont.
 Plumley, a former schoolteacher and one of the leading wits of Congress, took great delight in pointing out the political charac- teristics' of the bookends. One set, he said, was carved from Missouri marble and the other from Yer ment "Danby Imperial marble.
 ITO any political student, the diff ference is obvious" said Plumley You will note that the Missouri bookends are mixed gray, Demo- cratic color while the Vermont set mas a pure white, or Republican, hue.
 Incidentally, you Democrats chose th's Vermont Republican marble for the Jefferson Memorial here in Washington. So when you lock at these bookends, MT. Presi- dent first at the Vermont Republi- can and then at the Missouri ones, you can readily see that they ex- emplify the difference between Jef- fersonian Democracy and the New Deal.

GERMAN ATTEMPTS TO FINE FRIENDS
 OF FATHER HERE

Albert Matzdorf, of Hohenecken | by Kaiserslautern, French Zone, Germany. has written a letter to the Northern Light Presbyterian Church here asking for informa- ton concerning possible acquaint- ances of his father, also named Albert.
 The elder Matzdorf, according to an enclosed story from the Alaska Daily Empire of June, 1915, came here from Germany in 1913. He worked in several local barber shops, then opened his own shop in Douglas.
 Broke, Matzdorf went fishing with a partner, William Miller, and was drowned accidently off their boat anchored in Aux Bay His son 1 in Germany is now attempting to locate any acquaintances who may still be living in Juneau or Doug las.
 T have tried" says Matzdorf in his letter, "tc get the American nationality, after my sister, who was boln in America, has got It of course. My mother stayed in Germany after fathers death.
 T live with my wife and surely you have already heard from the great food catastrophe in Ger many, particularly in our circles. And to come to the principal of my writing, I don't have any re- lation in America, and so l will ask if it's possible (to contact) some American families who will be able to help us with food or dressing.
 We would be very interested to correspond with them for learning perfectly English. l am painter of art and perhaps l can enjoy them with a nice painting, to show them my thanks. Our situation is very difficult For example, we have only to eat in the month: 200 grams bread per day, 125 grams meat in the week, 29O grams butter in the month, 125 grams sugar in the month, 200 grams macaroni oi noodles in the month.
 Much of our dressing we have lost during the terrible war, ano we cannot buy anything for oui children who need boots and SC on, you can imagine, because they grow older Nearly 10 years we could not buy what we needed and now nearly all our industry IS destroyed by the air force.
 We hope to find the we'll known friendly uncle from America of whom all our hungry childrer are dreaming We write because in your town my father is buried.
 Anyone who may remember tht elder Albert Matzdorf and woult be interested in writing to hi son in Germany or helping hi family with packages, may ge further information from the Rev Willis R. Booth of Northern Ligh Presbyterian Church

NO FLoor CONTROL

Congress adjourned without do- irg anything constructive about one of the most vital needs of the na- tion-flood control How vital it is was illustrated in a conversation between President Truman and Rep. Al Elliott, conservative Democrat of Tulare, Calf. who do not agree on many things. but do see-to-eye on flood control.
 There are fcur rivers, MT. Pres ident, coming into a large area ln my district and the district Of Bud Gearhart," explained the Califor- ria Congressman, the Kern, the King, the Tule and the Kaweah- and they have absolutely no out let"
 T thought I learned a lot about flood control and the rivers of th's country while l was in the Senate" :" the President interrupted, but never knew about these rivers"
 Elliott then explained that in wet seasons these rivers can flood as much as halt a million acres of rich farmland-and that huge areas can be inundated by serious flash floods.
 Sometimes large parts of that plain have been under water for as much as two years-and I've seen grain crops worth as much as S30,- 000,000 just wiped out in a few hours shortly before they were tc be harvested Elliott continued That land is so flat. MT. Presi- dent, that I've seen as much as 64C acres completely covered with wa ter-and vet the water would not be over an inch and a half deer at any one point"
 Dams have been authorized or the Kern and King rivers, although little money has been appropriated Elliott wants funds not only fOl them but for the Tule and Kaweah rlVerS
 With all tie current trouble about a shortage of oil, it seems tC me almos, criminal not to protect the rich o;lfields near Bakersfield, Elliott sad They're in constant denger rom floods-and in tn, past some Of the highest grade oi to be found anywhere has been los becauSe Of the Kern river. I don Ike to think of another war-bu if 1t should come, we'd certainl. not like 10 take any chance ol having production from that fielt slowed down"

TAFT ON RENTS

Senator Bob Taft had things pretty much t;s own way during the closing days of Congress, but ran into some spicy arguments at hearings cf the joint committee on economic policy. Sharp Senator Joe O'Mahoney of Wyoming and wit ness Leon Henderson ganged up on him.
 T wonder. Senator Taft, if you believe the increase in rent just placed upon most all Americans by the Is percent voluntary increase is going to have any effect upon the purchasing power?' O'Mahoney asked
 Yes" Taft replied T would say the increase that went to the land lords would immediately go into re- pairs and things neglected, and for at least two years you would find that money would be spent. '"
 T think we're going to have to add something further to that" Henderson came in quickly.
 T know hundreds of landlords, :" Taft continued, who have been wholly unable to keep up their properties because of the very tight control
 The theory IS. then" said O'Ma- honey with a poker face, that if the tenant will pay more to the landlord in rent, it will make the tenant more Drosperous?" Before Taft could reply, Tender son remarked, we had a steno- grapher who figured it out that
