New China party

AS Chang Kai-Shek's National
ist forces faced the complete loss
of Manchuria to the Communist
armies, it was announced that
members of the Kuomintang met
in Hong Kong at which a new
party, THE Kuomintang China
Revolutionary Committee" was
formed to ask for a return TO the
original principles OF Sun Yat-Sen.
A declaration called for unfit
cation of all democratic parties,
including the Communists, and
closer relations with Russia.
In a manifesto issued by the
committee, Chang was accused of
selling out to the United States.
the Japanese and "other imperial
lists"
Members listed included Gen.
TSai Ting-kai, former commander
of the 10Th route army; Gen. Feng
Yuh-Siang, now in the United
States, and Nine. Lat Chung Kai,
widow of one Of Suns aides.

Poor King Nike

Young King Michael of Romania
abdicated the throne on which he
had succeeded his philandering
father, former King Carol, and
left for exile in Switzerland.
Reports were that he soon would
marry Princess Anne of Bourbon
Parma, whom he met while at
tending the London wedding of
Princess Elizabeth and the former
Prince Philip of Greece. 1t was
said to have been case of love
at first sight.
Accompanying Michael out of
Bucharest was a retinue of 30 per-
sons including his mother, Queen
Helen, whom Carol long ago left
to live with Magda Lupescu. Pass
ports issued by the Bucharest gov
eminent to both Michael and his
mother provided that they could
return if they wished.
Some dispatches picture d
Michael as poverty stricken, and
those aboard his train when it en-
tered Austria said he left only
with ''hiS very personal belong
ings"-including four American
built automobiles. But they agreed
he would not be compelled to work
for a living Immediately"

tween Greek government forces
aud the guerrillas in the north.
THE Greeks" ne said, feel
it is an argument between Rus
STA and the United States and
that they are in the middle.
That seems to be the result of
what we say here. They think
we ought to take a hand in that
war.
II was shocked to learn that
the Greeks call it our war. I
could see how they arrived at
that conclusion. but L don't
know what the implications are.
I think the Truman Doctrine
gave Them that impression. and
that impression is also the re-
sult of American propaganda"
The Greek government forces,
he said, are "well equipped but
not too belligerent."

FOREIGN SCENE
De Goulle urges:
'Scrop the unions


" rather frankly exposed his
hand this week in his bid for
power in France. Speaking in St.
Etienne, De Gaulle proposed that
the historic system of trade union
ism in France be scrapped.
In its stead, he advocated that
everyone in the same group of
enterprises, all who go to make it
up-managers, foremen, workmen
would together fix their condi-
tions of labor, notably their pay,
acting as equals, with organized
arbitration"
These associations" of manage
ment and labor could and should
be Incorporated into the state"
and that representatives of such
associations should sit in the Coun-
Gil of the Republic, the second
house of the French parliament.
This was the system that ex-
listed in Benito Mussolini's Fas-
cist state of Italy and still is
used in the corporate states of
Spain and Portugal.
MEANWHILE. French labor was
laying plans this week to fight
back against the new official mini
mum wage and increased prices
on many essential commodities an
nounced by Premier Robert Schu-
man.
In the recent strikes, the Cen
eral Confederation of Labor (CGT)
demanded minimum wage of $50
per month. The CGT also de-
handed that the government re-
duce prices. Instead, the new order
raises the cost of milk, butter and
eggs about 10 percent, coal about
30 percent and increases many
other items including sugar, soap,
railroad fares, lighting gas and
| gasoline.
Actually, this represents wage
cut for many workers who were
already earning more than the
new official minimum, since their
wages were not raised Living
costs are already so high that
many French workers are eating
less than the defeated Germans.
Labor pointed out, however, that
the new national budget allocateS
an extra 80 billion francs for Eek
traordinary" military defenses,
thus raising military expenditures
to one third of the entire budget.

Il the United States has

terranean. and has been shut

flag" at various trouble spots
in support of our diplomatic
policy.
This week two Navy trans
ports sailed from Morehead
City, N. c., with about 1000
Marines ON their way to be
attached to our fighting ships
anchored at Naples, Leghorn
and Genoa, Italy, and Piraeus,
Greece.
In something of an under
statement, the Navy's announce
ment said the State Department
had offered no objection to
their reinforcement since its
purpose was merely shipboard

The detachments that sailed
included Pacific war veterans
and were armed with combat
equipment such as tanks. flame
fhrowers. guns. jeeps and
trucks. They wore combat cloth
ings and carried full packs.
There was no explanation as
to why they sailed day ahead
of schedule.
THESE developments were
certain to be interpreted as an
unspoken pledge Of even strong
er U. S. support of the present
governments of Greece and
Italy despite evidences OF their
increasing unpopularity.

THE TRUMAN administra-
ton also moved for greater fl
nancial aid to bolster the Greek
government. When the Truman
Doctrine was first enunciated,
the bulk of the $500, 00O, 900
assistance was TO go for eco
nomic relief and reconstruc-
ton, but the emphasis was
fast turning to aid for the Greek
military forces.
President Truman was re-
vealed to have granted author
ity TO the British to turn over
to the Greek government forces
the lend-lease equipment once
used by the British in that
country.

The Alaska Native Service motor vessel, Mt Edgecumbe, is in port today enroute to Seattle for it's first official training cruise.

 Capt. Benjamin See is in charge of the vessel, which was taken over by the Native Service for the purpose of training the native stu dents of the Mt. Edgecumbe school at Sitk in maritime skills and seamanship.
 Following the cruise of from two and a half to three weeks, the students will be qualified for an examination before the marine in- spector in preparation for career in commercial shipping
 The ship carries regular crew of 21 men, and in addition to the native students has six Alaskan veterans taking the present course.
 Capt. See, a native Alaskan has had 15 years sailing experience in Alaskan waters, and served with the Army Transport and the Mer- chant Marine during the war. He holds Masters, Mates, and Pilots license, and made his first trip aboard the North Star, now owned by the Native Service.
