slams should insist upon holding onto
certain areas that she covets. would
we be in position virtually to re-
mind the Russians that both Of us
had assured the world during the
war that neither Of us had any
thought Of territorial expansion?"
So far as can recall, this act Of
generosity constitutes a single excep-
ton to the Russian attitude of pos
sessing herself of more territory,
more reparations, more capital assets
and, as it now appears, even more
German scientists to work on the
atomic bomb. We would be putting
ourselves in an indefensible position
If we should take over these Islands
even with the consent of the Rus
slams. Certainly we could not there
after, with good grace, firmly hold
onto what we had taken while deny
ing the Russians the right to further
acquisitions.
Mussolini's Policy Recalled.
Our whole attitude in this matter
has been wanting in international
morality. We have not even been
courteous to our allies In saying, as
we have, in effect, agree to our con-
stituting ourselves the sole trustees
to these islands under the United
Nations or we will hold onto them
anyhow" Our attitude is unpala-
tably reminiscent of Mussolini's in
famous pronouncement in late
August, 1885, as regards the Ethio-
plan affair: ITALY" he said, will
pursue her aims with Geneva, or
without Geneva, or against Geneva" !"
Geneva being, of course, the seat of
the League of Nations.
Our virtue now seems to consist
in telling the British, the Dutch and
the French what they should do
about their colonies. We are in the
menviable position of making hypo-
critical preachments to others while
gathering our own arms full of the
spoils of war.
We cannot hide behind Russia in
this territorial grab. Ali Baba did
not attempt to justify his depreda-
tions by presenting a sheepskin on
which was written the consent Of
any member of his Forty. Sooner
or later the United States will be
brought to the bar of civilized pub
lie opinion to explain its aggression
in. the Far East in the light of its
prior pious utterances.
In the Atlantic Charter we under
took to seek no aggrandizement,
territorial or otherwise" We SUBJ
scribed to the Cairo Declaration
which declared that we coveted no
gain and had no thought of
territorial expansion" On July 20,
1945, President Truman said in Ber-
lin, There is not one piece of ter
ritory or one thing of monetary
value that we want out of this war"
And on October u following. he re-
peated, "We do not seek for our
selves one inch of territory any place

 Oakland squeezed into the lead by walloping Seattle in a 12-10 slugfeSt last night while San Fran cisco was dropping AZ verdict to San Diego Los Angeles moved into what was virtually triple tie by edging Hollywood, 9-6, in 10 inn ings.

 The Oaks made it three out of four over Seattle on Les Scarsella' $ two-run single in the ninth, break ing 1o-all deadlock. Previously, Vince DiMaggio sparked siX-rull splurge in the fourth with a bases damned homer. It was his third cir- cult smash in two nights.
 San Francisco's ace rookie Bob Chesnes lost his fourth decision against 12 wins, as Ed Vitalich outsteadied him, holding the Seals to six hits. Chesnes allowed seven, but three walks and two wild pitch es contributed to two Padre tallies.

Anyway
 We then went to lawyer whose integrity has always been above reproach. and who we knew has al- ways been interested in Juneau and its trials, tribulations and progress He advised us that some war mea- sure would soon be going out of ex- lstence and that in his opinion there was a good possibility we'd never be bothered-that was over a year ago. Then, on March 9, last we all received communication from our attorney stating in effect that after some research the Gov erment could take our property any time they saw fit Not seeing any reason for cur Govt. to take such a course we let the matter drcp entirely and went about inn proving our various properties and preparing to argue with and pay of course, the tax assessor.
 Then cn June 6. last, we received another communication from oul attorney this stating that the Gov crnment was going to enter judg- ment against us this coming week and inquiring if we wished to re- tain him to enter our protest. called him Cn the phone and learn cd that a certain War Emergency Act was still in effect and that the possibility of us retaining cur homes was nil Naturally, I couldn't see the sense in retaining a lawyer at a price to say no for me in court when I can say it myself for noth- ing.
 There are several interesting as- poets to this case that should be brought to the attention of the Juneau public.
 Whq are we being evicted? All of us involved are longtime residents of Juneau--several of us being born here of pioneer parents. Also, all Of us have been steadily improving our meagre holdings.
 Why does our property have to be taken for the new proposed project when there is so damn much prop erty cheaper to acquire West of the present project, and so much more NE of the project that could be classed as slum clearance and util- ized to good advantage. Why should the best houses and properties in the area be cleared out?
 How can the City have guts enough to tax us for property that We can't own and they don't have jurisdiction over? Why the dis examination between us and people renting in the Government pre- Ject? After all we are all living on tide-land.
 Why should this be our battle alone when better than one-third of Juneau and every other town in $. E. Alaska for that matter sits on tideland? If our properties can be taken needlessly what's to pre- vent other interruptions pocket padders frcm seizing other prop critics under the guise oI Govern ment agencies?
 I wonder if the home or head offices of this FPHA is provided with true facts concerning condl- tions and areas involved and also who, locally, benefits financially from all this -pocus?
