SCARCELY WORTH WHILE

An issue of the St. Louis Post Dispatch received on The Empires exchange table reveals that the St. Louis newspaper and U. s. Rep Helen Gahagan Douglas recently voiced the suggestion that Gen Dwight Eisenhower be sent to negotiate with Mar sha Josef Stalin for an amicabe settlement of the differences between their two countries
 The California Congresswoman believes that Gen. eral Eisenhower is peculiarly fitted to undertake mission of this sort because he has the confidence of the American people and probably of Stalin and is A good neeotiator "We must speak into Marshal Stalin's ear loudly enough for him to hear says Mrs Douglas We must put cards on the table" ]"
 The last American who spoke into the Russian dictators ear and laid his cards on the table as we recall. was the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. By the time he finished speaking Stalin had won huge con- sessions in the Far East and arranged for our armies stop at the gates of Berlin and Vienna to wait for the Red Army to take over and thereby gain control of Eastern and Central Europe Undoubtedly Stain made some concessions and authorized the signing of
 few agreements which have long since been nullified by his failure to abide by them.
 We feel that these frequent suggestions that some one be sent to talk to Stan, though well meant are strictly the bunk. Even if General Eisenhower were to see Stalin and find out what the score is, he hardly would be empowered to make any commitments Russian desires have been matter of history for long tine the Communist goal has been widely pub licized dts the world and both appear to be matter of common knowledge to everyone except members of Congress
 Stan scarcely needs the word from General Eisenhower to realize that not quite the same naive people we were in 1945 and l946 He taught us a thing or two at Yata and Potsdam

One of AIaska's Troubles Nearer
 to Settlement
tO PSteiShNH
Seattle Times

Promise that the uncertainties that long have bedeyiled the Alaska salmon fishing and packing in- dustry may be resolved by adoption of reasonable government policy and appropriate legislation on the question of fishtraps is given by preliminary report virtually unanimously adopted by joint committee of the United States Senate and House of Representa- tives.
 The significant features of the report are that it accepts the principle that fish traps not detrimental to conservation of the salmon and that the present operators of the Alaska salmon industry have rights to their established fishtrap sites which should not be altogether abrogated.
 The joint committee had before it three measures dealing with this controversial issue. One intro duced by Alaskas Congressional Delegate Bartlett would prohibit the of fishtraps in Alaska waters outright Another, also sponsored by Bartlett would empower the Territorial government to regulate types and use of fishing gear third bill, prepared by the Department of the Interior, would permit the leasing of fish-trap sites with certain limitations to present operators for 15year period, at the expra- tion of which the present operators would be entirely excluded from further of their trap sites
 Another factor in the controversy of which the committee took cognizance involves the claims of Alaska Indians to aboriginal rights to important trap fishing areas claims which await settlement by Con- gressiona action along with the whole problem of Indian rights in the Territory.
 The joint committees report concluded that ln- term legislation must be enacted by Congress govern ing the leasing of fish-traps and that the salmon industry should not be hampered by present we'll grounded fears that their of essential sites may be summarilv .terminated'
 Two of this States representatives in Congress, Senator Warren Magnuson (D) and Congressman Thor Tolleson () took leading roles in this inquiry The report was signed by them and by all the nlne other House members of the joint committee Iheir careful efforts toward solution of this difficult proo- lem deserve the appreciation of both the salmon industry and the labor organizations affiliated with it. As the committees report concludes, Stability IS as essential to the economy of Alaska and those de- pendent on it as to the industry itself.

DISAPPOINTMENT OVER
 BOGOTA

Despite all the handsome state ments for publication, majority of delegates to the Bogota con- ference came away privately dis appointed by one or more of five major developments.
 Heading the list of motives for disccntent and disillusionment was U. s. failure to offer any hope of official economic aid to Latin American industry. Mistakenly or not, large number of other Amer ican governments had counted on getting some sort of assurance from our representatives that, soon- CT or later. Washington would be willing to consider an overall little Marshall plan' sfor the Western Hemisphere
 This dream was rudely shattered when Secretary Marshall himself, who made it quite clear that, aside from a possible half-billion dol lars in EXport-Import Bank cred its (Which Congress must first ap- proVe) Latin America would have to look to private investors for cap ital with which to stimulate indus trial growth.
 When that recommendation was coupled with another, to the ef- feet that the Latinos had better modify their restrictions on for eign capital, it brought a bitter reaction. Mexico, Venezuela and Central American countries still have yividly unhappy memories of the wheeling exploitation to which they were subjected by U. s. oil, mining and fruit trusts during the first three decades of this century.
 A complete impasse on this point was avoided only when Bill Paw ley U. s. representative on the conferences economic commission, warned bluntly that the Senate would probably not ratify the Be-

50 Years of Cuban Freedom
(New York Times

Fifty years ago Cuba won her freedom and be- came sovereign state. The event marked change in the tide Of history It broke the last grip Of Spain on the Americas. It also signified the armed and active entry of the United States into the march of human freedom not only in this hemisphere but throughout the world. In two great wars since then have justified chosen course by victory on the battlefield It was therefore fitting for President Truman, addressing a joint session of Congress, to commemorate this liberation.
 For half century now the peoples of Cuba and the United States have lived in close friendship. Shielded by American might, trade has expanded travel spread and, despite all differences of an- guage and culture mutual understanding has steadily developed The President did not fail to point out that such harmonious relationship offers an ex- ample to other nations
 Great events and mighty figures of the past rose to color MT. Truman's address-the sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor, the union of the Cuban patriots with army, the charge up San Juan Hill Jose Marti, Comes, Maceo, Garcia and Shafter Theodore Roosevelt, Schley and Samson. After the conflict our aid to Cuba did not cease We helped her repair the ravages of The services of Gen. eral Wood, General Gorgas and Dr. Walter Reed are
 vivid chapter of Cuban history Ever since then the principles of equality and justice have drawn the two nations together in ever-closer friendship.

Dominican Republic, flatly baked at inclusion of this article in the treaty
 So violent wee Argentine opposi- tion that the U. S. hastily with drew its support of the original project, which would have guar anteed basic civil liberties to ev- cry citizen of the Americas and set up an international body to safeguard them. Instead, the rights of man" ended up as a simple supplementary declaration to the pact, pious, high-sounding and completely impotent.
 United States willingness to go along with the Argentine thesis cn recognition of de facto" gov ernments also occasioned plenty of acrid comments, more particu- larly since Washington was for years the chief spokesman for nonrecognition of regimes set up by coups or revolutions. Here, again, as on several other issues, Peron and Go. were able to crow over a major victory
 Although almost everyone at Be- gotta was agreeable to Marshalls demand for an anti-Communism resolution, nobody was favorably impressed by his abrupt departure for home the day after this was adopted. As one leading delegate remarked to another-in private conversation:
 Tt is difficult to avoid the con- clusion that General Marshall feels the conference has now achieved it's only important purpose"
 Finally, selection of Buenos Aires as the site of the special Inter American Economic Conference, scheduled for late this year or early 1949, struck lot of people as ironic. This reaction was due solely to the fact that Peron's government, alone of 54 represent ed at the recent U. N World Trade Conference in Havana, re- fused to sign the economic chart CT drafted there.
 Tt is," commented the influ- ential Montevideo newspaper, Fl Plata, somewhat as if Marshal Ti- to or Josef Stalin himself should suddenly turn up playing host to the 16 nations participating in the European Recovery Program"

REPUBLICANS DEFEND NAzIs


 Royall's testimony before the House Appropriations Committee, hitherto secret, has now been made public. It reveals that COP Congressman John Taber of New York and Richard Wigglesworth, Boston blueblood, were just as anx- ious as Royall to let Nazi criminals down easily-perhaps more so.
 Cross examined by these two Congressmen as to why the anti Nazi trials weren't stopped Royall replied:
 Last August we eliminated ap- proximately three-fourths of the cases. When I went over there Germany I approved that elim- nation. The reason they were not entirely stopped was that General Clay felt. and convinced me, that to stop suddenly would create a disparity between people who had been de-Nazified and those who had not"
 Tt is very much of headache, think growled Taher
 T had very firm views against the whole approach to it original ly, chimed in the Secretary of the Army When I was there in August, prescribed that only those eases Of limited class could be tried. No additional war-crimes trials will be heid except nose now in process.
