X Welcome Ambassador
(New York TineS)

Seldom has an Ambassador of foreign nation been so well equipped to with the most important specific business at hand as is Sir Oliver Franks As leading figure in the Sixteen Nation Conference at Paris he came to know, possibly no other man in Europe the aims the possibilities, and the attendant national responsibilities of the Marshall European Recovery Program. He may in a sense, be regarded as almost co-author of that program His detailed knowledge of European resources viewpoints and pres ent psychology of the peoples we are trying to hep will be immensely valuable in Washington
 Sir Oliver is a philosopher by profession which must have stood him in good stead, as his ship was held outside the harbor for many hours by fog The Second World War brought him out of the academic
 life at Glasgow University, where he occupied the Chair of Moral Philosophy. He proved to be start ingly gifted administrator, and when the war ended was Permanent Secretary of the Minister of Supply and Aircraft Production Despite the pleas of govern ment leaders, he returned to scholastic life when called to be Provost of Queens College, Oxford. He been in this country several occasions was a visiting professor at Chicago University for year in 1885 and so, while to diplomatic office has had a chance to know us unoffically which may be good way to start
 These are not easy times in which Sir Oliver will represent his country in Washington. He is in a position to be of great service to us as well as to Great Britain We look forward to knowing him better and to a better understanding of the many problems on which he can, from time to time, throw light and give the benefit of his counsel

ALASKA COAST GUARD DISTRICT

7 In the newsletter issued by Delegate E. L. Bart lett under date of June is interesting lnlorma'ion reaarding an Alaska Coast Guard District The Vari- oui Chambers of Commerce especially those in South- east Alaska have urged the establishment of district in Alaska. X@
 The following is taken from Delegate Bartletts newsletter pertaining to the subject ts
 In general debate on the floor of the House thiss week it was revealed that Coast Guard Board will on to Alaska in the latter part of the summer to examine the proposal for reestabishment of Coast Guard District for Alaska.
 This was revealed when the appropriation Dill Tor the Treasury and Post Office departments was pehg considered which contains funds for the operation of the Coast Guard The Coast Guard is leaning toward" reestabshmen of the district, according to statement made by Congressman Garfield, Tn charge of the bill on the floor in reply to question put to him by Delegate Bartlett Tt plans most intensive survey this summer" he continued. Tt is not certain if district office established in the Territory of Alaska that it will go back to Ketchikan. believe that Juneau and perhaps other places, are under consideration Late this summer we will have woro from the Coast Guard as to just what IS oelng oone
 Congressman Jackson of Washington joined Dee- gate Bartlett urging that the district consolidated last year into the Seattle district be reestablshed He endorsed the Delegates statement on the floor, which is produced below in part:
 "Durine the hearings this bill presentation was made as to need the necessity for early reestablishment Alaska of the Coast Guard head quarters During the hearings Governor Ernest Gruen ing of Alaska and I testified on that subject We pointed out that regional office was established in Alaska in l93e functoned extremely well, with great efficiency July of last year that regional office was abolished and consolidated with ISe Seattle office 750 miles to the south where there cannot be the same understanding of Alaska needs and Alaska problems as there would be through the operation Of an office right in Alaska.

 Moscow radio propagandizers who have been telling the Russian people that the USA is a nation of warmongers would be interested in public response to this columns idea of a Friendship Train to the children of Russia.
