ARABS TACITLY ADMIT
JEWISH STATE INEVITABLE

Jerusalem (Palcor) = A tacit
admission that a Jewish State in
partitioned Palestine is inevi-
table and that the Arab League
countries aren't contemplating
any military action" on Pales-
tine, were contained in press re-
ports from two Arab capitals
Cairo and Damascus.
In Cairo, the semi-official
weekly Rus Al Yussuf, reported
that the Egyptian Government
did not agree during the recent
Arab League Council meeting in
Beirut, to participate in any mil
itary action on Palestine. This
report, carried in other Egyptian
papers, confirmed what first ap-
peared in the opposition press
whose reports heretofore the
Government organs have been
quick to deny.
In Damascus, the daily Al KAT
fab reports that Secretary Gen
eral of the Arab League, Azzam
Pasha, stated in an interview that
the concentration of Syrian and
Egyptian troops on the Palestine
border was designed to protect
those 100000 Arabs who are to
remain within a Jewish State un-
der partition Sin view of likely
attacks on them by Jewish ter
ror organizations" While Syrian
troops have been lowering near
Palestine's northern border for
the past two weeks, there are no
Egyptian troops anywhere near
Palestine's southern frontier, a
fact which jibes with the Cairo
reports. Azzam Pasha significant
ly made no mention of Transjor-
dan forces which constitute the
only well organized, we'll
equipped Arab army.

support partition on humanitarian

LABOR LEGISLATION POLL

On the back page of today's Empire you will find a public opinion questionnaire sponsored by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce as means of sampme public opinion on the question of labor legislation
 We urge you to have your say in the matter by marking the questionnaire and sending your ballot mat once to the Juneau Chamber of. Commerce.
 Of course it is doubtful if the present Legislature will accomplish anything in the way Of corrective labor legislation. AS matter of fact, efforts are being made in the House to kill Senate bill which would ask the people of Alaska for a referendum vote on the subject of the closed shop and these efforts probably will be successful.
 So by answering the Chamber of Commerce poll in today's Empire you will be going against the wishes of those II members of the House who yeser- day voted to table the bill calling for referendum on the closed shop in Alaska.
 Among those voting to kill the bill which would give the people of Alaska the privilege of stating

Echoes Of An Incident
Cincinnati Enquirer


 That tre phrase-'It isn't the money it the prin- cipe of the thing-has found exemplfication in the so-called DeMille incident
 Movie Producer Cecil B DeNIle two years ago left the air rather than pay $l political assessment levied upon members of the American Federation of Radio Artists to fight move to ban the closed shop in California. He contended such assessment was undemocratic invasion of his personal and political freedom of action, and though it meant he had to quit radio program he had produced for eight |, years MT DeMille chose to be denied the right to broadcast rather than pay the political assessment. Subsequently, however, the De1ille Foundation For Political Freedom and MT DeMille himself have made the incident cost considerably more than dollar to the proponents of the closed shop. Already he has been instrumental in the enactment of two State laws forbidding the closed shop. and a few days ago he delivered effective testimony against closed shop union contracts in appearance before the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare.
 One of the strongest indictments of the closed shop we've ever read was contained in MT. DeMilles address at a convention of fruit and vegetable men in New York He said Wherever the closed shop has given union the right to say who shall work and who shall not tool of has been forged that strike at the very freedom for which the fathers of American unionsm fought and suffered. Samuel Gompers said, No lasting gain has come from compulsion' But the closed shop puts in the hands of union bosses and so-called union iorities instrument of compulson sharp executioner's ax-for the right to living is neither more less than the right to live"
 He pointed out that there are union leaders who do not abuse the power of the closed shop. But he cited the Chicago boy who recently lost his job because he drew mustache the picture of union officer the Massachusetts teamser who expelled from his union for life because he dared speak his mind citizen before legislative committee and the Marine Corps General who was told that his Marine veterans who had learned various motion picture skls in the service couldn't hope for employment in the movies because the closed shop wouldn't let them in
 he hp "ic oc tir the old tyrannies of Europe How freely you breathe-how long you continue to breathe at all if any group has the power to deny your right to living? If I control your right to work, I dictate what political party you will support what grocery store you trade with what buildings you may may not enter What is to stop from dctating what church you may attend what you may read, how you may educate your children? Did ancestors flee the tyrannes of the Old World only create an equal monster in the new?"

 als were told to enter General Van dergrift's compound through the servants entrance.
 This order meant that some of the men were to act as bartenders and t-checkers had to cancel Christmas furloughs, and as a re- suit there was considerable resent ment However, the underground furore gradually subsided until this month, when once again General Vandergrift decided to give party, and once again an official order was written out drafting sergeants and corporals as bartenders and car-parkers.
 This time the servant detail was not so great, but this time also the men were ordered to report through the servants entrance, and again the whole Marine barracks seeth- cd with indignation.
 The day before the cocktail party officially called a tea part of the order was suddenly canceled. The two bartenders, Sgt. Elmer N. Snyder and Sgt. Lionel F. St. Peter, were told that because of possible political repercussions their servic- es would not be required.
 The political repercussions which the Marine brass hats feared ap- parently revolved around Demo- cratic Attorney General Tom Clark, who having attended the Christmas party had recognized one of the bartenders And ignoring distin- guished guests, the Attorney Gen eral had reached across the bar to shake hands

 Now as for the Marines, you know what the Marines are. They are small fouled-up army talking navy lingo. We're going to put those Marines in the regular Army, and make efficient soldiers out of them. The Navy is going to end up by only supplying the require ments of Army Air and Ground Forces too.

ARMY GETS MOVIE OSCAR


 It went unnoticed in all the whoople about the motion picture Oscars handed out in Hollywood, but Secretary of War Patterson and his subordinates also got a highly important award from the motion Picture Academy.
 They were given the Oscar for producing the best documentary film of the year, Seeds Of Des- tiny a truly great film.
 The picture deals with the child ren of Europe and shows how the seeds of the future are being plant ed right now in these children. They can become future MusSo- linis and Tojos, just as Hitler pre- oicted would grow up in the post war turmoil of Europe. Or with care and food they can become fu- ture Einsteins and Madame Curies. It is dramatic story. However, 1t is significant that the American Theatre Association has refused tc show this picture even though the War Department offers it free. Reason: It is too long. It takes up twenty minutes. And the Theatre Association doesn't seem inclined to devote twenty minutes to a bet ter world.
 Note Credit for producing Seeds Of Destiny goes to the Army's Information and Education Divi- sion" headed by Gen. Joe Collins, the hero of Cherbourg, and run by Gen. Buck Lanham.

Third Term Foe
The Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The STAR
+ Relative to the proposed constitu-
tional amendment limiting the presi-
dental tenure of Office to two four-yea
terms, may I say that the history OF
the United States, up until the time
Franklin Roosevelt appeared on the ma
tional political stage, is pretty fair
evidence that 1t is not necessary for
a President to have more than two
four-year terms for the Nation to
weather all sorts of storms and move
progressively onward.
On the other hand, the almost in
surmountable Indebtedness and general
all-around confusion and disorder that
our first third-term President left in his
wake is pretty fair evidence that 1t is
not wise for the American people
to permit a President to stay in office
for more than two four-year terms.
Regardless of whether The Star or
any one else will admit 1t, the United
States had become more than near
dictatorship under Roosevelt, and 1t Is
going to take many years, If ever, for
the people to free themselves from the
totalitarian ideas that he and his
henchmen sold them.

More on Modern Girls

Everett on behalf of bachelors in his
recent letter to The Star. I thoroughly
agree with him on his opinion and ex-
pressing my own personal reaction in
the matter, would like to say that the
modern girl living in large cities and
living normal life has created very
poor incentive for marriage. Yet il life
is to go on, there is little alternative but
to accept the modern girl and woman
and hope for reform. AS one who be-
heves that all womankind should live
by the standards of a "lady," sincerely
welcome reform. Many thanks to you
and your paper for allowing its readers
to express their opinions on non
partial basis.
I also concur with Mr.. Everett that
bachelors are we'll fitted for public office
Mr.. Frank Murphy is an example!
Thank goodness, there's the consoling
thought that for every frivolous, selfish,
sophisticated girl and woman, there are
those in outnumber who really make the
word "lady" live in full reality. To them,
all bachelors should look for true
womanhood. F. j. l..

remote as it is in the heart of til

remote as it is in the heart Of the
continent, a hermit nation. His
successor, Lopez, got embroiled with
his neighbors, Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay, who ended his aggressive
actions in 1870 only after they had
conquered Paraguay and killed most
of its male population, who resisted
literally to the death. The Para
guayans are formidable fighters,
being descended largely from the
Guarani Indians, a notably warlike
tribe. A decade ago they waged a
savage war with Bolivia over con-
f1icting claims to the Chaco, DESC
late region coveted by both nations,
and ultimately won the war, though
at great cost to themselves.
Paraguay is a relatively small
country, it's settled portion being
only the size of New England, with
less than 100000 inhabitants.
Lying far inland from the sea, it's
normal outlets are by rivers that
run southwark. into Argentina,
which controls most of its foreign
trade. Despite some recent develop
ment, Paraguay remains poor and
backward. Politics." of the shoot
