Protest to Lebanon
Washington Post)


 The War of 1872 was due in large part to the re- sentiment aroused by the British practice of searching American vessels for British and deserters from British naval vessels-a proceeding that fre- quently resulted in American well Brit sh subjects being carried off The Lebanese govern ment does not have the excuse of mistaken identity to offer in defense of it's outrageous action in removing American citizens from vessel flying the flag of the United States Its only appears to be the fear that the American Jews who were forcibly removed and interned might join the Jewish fighting forces in Palestine.
 So gross a violation of the rules governing inter national intercourse between nations at peace is in defensible Failure to respond to the demand of the United States for return of the captives would justify the severest kind of reprisals Yet it seems to us that the State Departments protest ignores the major issue by emphasizing the fact that all bearers of American passports, irrespective of race, color or creed entitled to equal protection of the laws of the United States. Of they But far as we can the Lebanese have not been guilty of discrimination in the way suggested by the State Department's communication. Only Jews seized, to be sure, but that because it only Jews whom the Lebanese had to fear potential fighters The offense of the Lebanese government that calls for rebuke is it's invasion of American terri tory by boarding American vessel and taking away American citizens It is merely confusing to drag in an issue that is utterly irrelevant, insofar as the present controversy is concerned

This year in the publishing trade may well go down as one memoirs journals, diaries and auto biographies, the majority of them by the leaong figures of World War II. Within the last few days we have had the memoirs of Cordel Hull and the stilweu Papers Several weeks ago the diaries of Joseph Goebbels appeared The first volume of Win ston Churchls memoirs "The Gathering Storm, which has been running in Life and the New York Times will be issued in book form in July Undoubtedly there others.
 It hardly to be doubted that Churchills memoirs will provoke the most widespread attention. He IS the most towering individual in the lot the most i'm portant politically and historically-and by all odds the most eloquent writers English today have greater command of the language

C0uNSEL0Rs NEEDED FOR GIRL SCOUT CAMP;
 E SERIOUS PROBLEM

There is a possibility that the Girl Scout Camp will not be able to function this summer unless the women of Juneau cooperate with Mrs. Ralph Rivers, camp chair man, according to Mrs. Scott L. Murphy, commissioner. of the local Scout Council.
 Nine additional adult camp coun- selors are needed to work with Miss Ruth Kilbourne, camp chair man, who will arrive today Train ing classes for counselors are slat- ed to begin tomorrow. ApproXi- mately 50 women in Juneau and Douglas give several hours every week making possible the regular week-to-week program and in the summer other volunteers .are need ed to man the camp. Volunteers should stay minimum of one week at camp. Transportation. food and quarters are provided and the training classes will begin on We'd nesday so lack of experience in such volunteer work is no handi- cap.
 Unless the women of the Cas- tineau Channel do volunteer to help the usual camp activities which mean so much to the Scouts and Brownies, the camp cannot be car ried on. The mother of every Scout should, according to Mrs. Murphy, make it her job to help Mrs. Rivers give our community the kind of camp that she as a mother wants her own daughter to enjoy

 Documents such as these, before they gone over by the scholars who cook histories, rep resent in real the human side of events. For that reason they are far potent and palatable when taken in the raw.

Another Weak Alibi Advanced
(Ketclaikan News


 Delegate Bartlett and Chairman Crawford, the latter Republican of Michigan, reported as being opposed to bill for the election of Governor of Alaska in 1850 Crawford said he had been unable to get certain persons in the Senate and in high Territorial affairs to agree to bill for an elected Governor this year"
 What weak and ineffective abi that is!
 Just who the persons in high positions" or territorial affairs" who object to Aaskans electing their own Governor? Are they more important than the overwhelming sentiment of Alaskans?
 Over year ago Delegate Bartlett promised us personally he would urge the passage of such bill even if statehood was denied. He did submit the bill But it seemed to have been pigeon-holed and now it is allowed to die in committee and Crawford is made the stalking horse for failure of it's passage When Delegate Bartlett for reelection he should inform the voters just who are the ones fin high position and in Territorial affairs who object to allow ing Alaskans naming their own Governor You can't fool "al the people all the time"

HITLER's STANDARDS

In setting up the standards for admitting 100000 displaced persons into the United States, the Senate approved some tricky language the other day aimed at excluding most Jews and Catholics. In so doing, the Senate actually accepted Hit ler's yardstick in singling out those entitled to American refuge
 But what the Senators probably didn't realize is that their legal doubletalk may also get the United States into hot water on the diplo- matic front, for the bill to admit displaced persons was worded in such way as to give tacit recog- milton to the Soviet conquest of Latyia, Estonia and Lithuania
 The State Department has been careful not to recognize Russia s annexation of these tiny Baltic states, but the Senate bill requires that 50 percent of the refugees permitted to enter the USA must come from a country that has been annexed by foreign pow CT" This can only mean the three Baltic states swallowed by Russia.
 The hidden purpose of this pro- vision is to keep out Jews and Catholics, since there are none in Latvia. Estonia or Lithuania.
 West Virginia's Republican Sem ator Chapman Reyercomb, who championed these Hitler amend ments," fought down several at tempts by Democratic Senators Howard McGarth of Rhode Island and Carl Hatch of New Mexico to liberalize the bill
 When Revercomb's bill finally reached the Senate floor, McGrath sncrted in disgust; The noun tain has labored and brought forth a mouse"

EDUCATION ROLL CALL

Here are the Congressmen in- side the House Education and La- hor Committee who are hottling up the federal-aid- education bill; also those who are for aiding the teachers:
 Against the bill- Republicans: Schwabe, Missouri; Gwinn, New York; Kersten, Wisconsin; Owens, Illinois. Democrats: Lesinski, of Michigan; Kelley, Pennsylvania; Kennedy, Massachusetts; Lucas, Texas.
 For the bill Republicans: Lan- dis, Indiana: Hoffman, Michigan; McCowen, Ohio; Brehm, Ohio; Kearns. Pennsylvania; Nixon, Cali fornia Democrats Barden, North Carolina; Fisher, Texas; Powell, New York; Wood, Georgia; Mad den, Indiana; Klein, New York.
 Republicans who would be for the bill if they had the courage to vote against the orders of Speaker Joe Martin and COP leader Halleck: Hartley, New Jersey; Mcconnell, Pennsylvania; Buck. New York; Smith, Kansas; and. McKinnon, Minnesota.
 In brief, a majority of the Com ! mittee would be for Federal-aid-to to- education if the Republicans didn't follow their party leaders.
 Besides the party-line issue, in- dividual members of the Committee have various reasons for opposing Federal aid to education. ! One is that certain states would get a bigger proportionate share of benefits than they pay. For in stance, New York and Massachu- sets, which have progressive edu- cation systems, would pay more and get less out of the bill than states like Mississippi.
 Another reason for opposition is religions. Democrats like Lesinski of Michigan, Kelley of Pennsyl- vania and Kennedy of Massachu- setts want a clear stipulation that the states will take care of paro- chial schools in distributing Federal funds.

EYES ON NATIONAL COP. CONVENTION

Now that the two Republican factions in Alaska have held their separate conventions and chosen delegates to the National Republican Convention in Philadelphia all eyes will be on the national conelave to see which delegation is seated
 The so-caled White convention, meeting, in sitka' selected three delegates.
 The Mount Mckinley Park convention, labeled "the first regularly called Republican convention in Alaska in l6 years" also selected three-man deega- ton.
 The two delegations to be in Philadelphia either in person or represented through proxies.
 It will be interesting to see which one is seated and why.
