we must face the hard fact that the Truman
Doctrine is still the foreign policy of our gov

still to be found in the rebuilding of a re-
dictionary Germany and Japan; encouragement
and aid to relationships in Spain, Greece, Tur-
key, China and Argentina; colonial oppression
of the Philippine Islands; proposals for the
military domination of Latin America; and the
Presidents proposed universal military training

must continue to advocate and work for
the complete reversal of the Truman Doctrine.
We ferventy hope that the conference now
taking place in Paris among the diplomatic
representatives of France, Great Britain and
the Soviet Union will succeed in arriving at
basis for the economic rehabilitation of Europe.
Such a common agreement will receive our
enthusiastic support as a contribution to world
peace and stability.

II N the field of foreign policy, the out
standing fact is the reputation of the
Truman Doctrine by the American people
we'll as by the democratic peoples throughout
the world. There has developed "a wide ac-
ceptance of the fact that the Truman Doctrine
of military aid to despotic governments and
military relationships is the path to war.
1t is in the light of this reality that the
speech of Secretary of State Marshall at Har-
ward University must be evaluated.
The Pea has always advocated and will
continue to support any plan having for its
purpose the reconstruction of war-torn Europe
and the rehabilitation of European economy,
provided that the policy upon which this is
predcated is consistent with the principles of
the United Nations and the unity of the Great
Powers. To the extent that the Marshall plan
meets that test it will receive our support But
we reaffirm our conviction that any plan con-
ceived or administered in such a manner as
to encourage the creation of Western Bloc

the ends of peace economic recovery.

the Alaska rate structure and shipping costs to Alaska Under the existing agreement capital investments do figure into the rate structure and lower rate is possible.
 Even Alaskans being mised into believing that present charges bleeding the Territory and that the Maritime Commission which has given Alaska considerations given to other area, has pulled fast
 If the Governor and his foolish associates ceed in forcing the Maritime Commission to abandon this aid then what happens to the freight rates
 The Governor has charged monopoly" on the basis that only Seattle companies operate to the Ter ritory. Actually no other large steamship company interested, Rep Jackson pointed out recently when the present interim plan drawn up If any other steamship company interested in the poor prospect of the famous Alaska one-way haul would have known it before

4 Subtle Distinction
Cincinnati Enquirer

Commenting the European aid program. Frank Gannett. New York State publisher, has declared that he is sodlv in favor of feeding the starving people of Europe But he asserts with even more emphasis that he opposes the Marshall Plan as a scheme of supergenosty which would finance Europes socialist experiments.
 This is understandable point of view. To the extent that differentate between feeding the hungry and financing socialism virtually all American citizens would agree with Mir. Gallant. But when we get down to the distinction is subtle one
 Europes most desperate problem is the shortage Of food chiefly resulting from bad crop year. Its next most acute problem is shortage of fuel result ing in large part from the shortage of food in coal mining areas. but also from lack Of modern mining equipment and from lack of transport facilities There other problems. such lack Of rolling stock and of heavy industrial equipment
 All Of these difficulties be expressed as shortage of dollars. For with sufficient dollar change European nations could import most of the food and fuel and other commodities they need for vival and for recoyerv
 When We ship food to Europe on credit or as gift helping to avert mass starvation. But We also are bolstering Europes dollar There no possible way to assist EuroOean recovery even 10 help Europe to survive, without in degree financing socialist experiments For most of Europe moving into epoch of social democratic control
 Western Europe cannot afford the luxury of mak- ing purely theoretical choice between private enter prise and state socialism British French Italian political leaders have to solve their problems, just as We do terms Of expediency. And such nationaliza- ton measures they have taken thus far represent an honest attempt although perhaps unsound to meet overwhelming economic difficulties within the frame work of democratic self-g government.
 The issue in Europe is not one between socialism and private enterprise The future pattern will be
 compromise between those theoretical alternatives The real issue is between democratic sef-governmen by free peoples on one hand and ruthless Communist dictatorship. the other
 Americans have vast stake in the outcome And we shall be wiser to weight the side of democracy in Europe before it is too late II are going to bubble the degree Of socialist expert mentation in Western Europe, stand good chance of throwing away last chance 10 head of the western march oI Communism

 He says this IS the consensus of the ConsresSfeh y,o sst through the hearings recently completed.
 Under the present agreement Alaska Steamship Corapany Northland Transportation Company and the Alaska Transportation Company are serving Alaska mainly with shius rented to them b. the Maritime Commission for sl Q year. Under this system the Federal government is subsidizing Alaska on tenn norary basis to keep freight from skyrooketing while permanent plan is developed For doing this the Maritime Commission has received nothing but criticism from Alaskas chief officials. Actually hao the Maritime Commission simply followed the standard formula and set Alaska they set elsewhere to return the companies reasonable profit on their investment the rates would be about 50 per cent higher than they
 A permanent plan has been proposed under which purelv private operation be resumed with no co,eeoent climb in freight rates The Presidents Advisory Committee has proposed construction oi half billion dollars worth of new merchant ships some of which would be specially built for the Alaska trade
 Under the permanent plan which has been pro- posed for Alaska 20 of these ship would be solo to Alaskan operators 20 per cent of their cost or about slOo GOO each This would mean low capital expenditure as basis for establish freight rates

 Do you know the value of all this money We are going to spend on Europe?" inquired Smith, bit- ingIy.
 With whitening look that brought chuckles from other Re- publicans. Eaton snapped back:

North Dakotas Karl Mundt agreed that the Friendship Train had done an excellent job, but added:
 Feeding the people is not the whole problem. We are trying to develop increased confidence in the governments of Western Europe. The big thing is to encourage and support those Governments. We can't forget that if the American people are going to get some bene- it out of the money they spend.
 The applause favored Mundt. However, general COP opinion was that foreign relief should be handl- ed through an independent agency, not the State Department
 Mundt seconded Bender's call for party aggressiveness in foreign af- fairs. charging that Roosevelt and Truman had made the "deals" that have led to Communist troubles in Poland and other coun- tries.
 Republicans, he declared, ought to be more diligent in pointing this out"
