I didn't leave my room until hun

I would bump into Cabot, a Lodge

thing gauche (South Georgia for

into the local clink for not having

Finally, slipped out Of the hotel
by the back way and got to a res

I asked for baked beans and

they didn't have any. Mentally

quickly ordered a New England

He suggested a Kansas City steak,

out of the restaurant. I got proof
before I had walked block. Two
bits of proof, in fact. The first when
bought a paper and found the
front page dominated by picture
of Ted Williams new baby, meaning
that baseball was as dear to Back
Bay and Beacon Hill as 1t is to
Dallas, San Francisco and Whistle

The second bit of proof was the
talk of an Irish cop to Bostonian
who had parked his car in no
parking zone. The cop used the

Russia Willing to Sign Peace Treaty
With Austria If 1t Gets $200,O00,O0O

began to suck the country dry under
the excuse that the industrial plants
banks and private property which
they were looting were Nazi-owned,
directly or indirectly.
Our protests were ignored. But
the presence of token Western forces
of occupation prevented them from
adopting in Austria policy similar
to that adopted in Hungary last
spring, when they destroyed the le-
gal democratic government and
transformed the country into a 10C
per cent satellite of the Soviet
Union.
Since 1916, when we first started
discussing peace treaties for Europe
the western governments had placed
Austria at the top of the agenda

Paris and London conferences We

the position that it would be use.

former Balkan satellites of the Axis
Meanwhile, they continued to de.
mand reparations from Austria
although under the Moscow agree
ment of 1943 that country was
exempt from such a burden.
Price Fixed for Treaty.
At the November, 1947, conference
in London, Foreign Minister Molo-
tov surprised everyone by limiting
that he would not be opposed to
discussing peace treaty for Aus
tria. The collapse of that parley
did not permit any amplihcation of
that suggestion. But in the last few
weeks word has reached Washing
ton and London from Moscow that
the Austrian peace treaty could be
discussed, provided Austria paid
Russia 5000, 100000 in lieu Of further
transfer of so-called Nazi assets.
There is not even 5000 worth OF
Nazi property left in Austria. The
Russians since 1945 have stripped
the country, not only of all possible
Nazi assets, but also of bona flde
Austrian property.
State Department officials are
aware that the latest Russian de-
mand means actually that the
United States pay the U. S. S. r.
another big chunk of money-either
in cash or goods-for peace treaty
with Austria.
Some diplomats consider that,
the United States having spent
$73 ,000, 100000 on lease-lend, the

government pays Constantine Brown.
the aforementioned sum which
Russia asserts represents the re-
mainder of Nazi assets in that
country.
At the Big Three foreign min
listers meeting in Moscow in 1943
Austria was promised exemption
from the treatment planned for
the enemy countries. The Allies
agreed that the republic had been
forcibly joined to the Reich by
Hitler's unilateral action, and that
it would be unfair if the Austrians
showed themselves friendly to the
Allies, to impose on them the same
burden as on the peoples of the
other Axis countries.
Renner Recognition Sped.
After the defeat of Hitler's forces
in Austria the Soviet government
rushed to recognize, without con-
sulting its allies, government
headed by the old Socialist, Karl
Renner, and packed key positions
in that government with Commun-
lists.
After wavering for a short time,
Washington and London concurred
with Moscow in the establishment Of
a new Austrian republic with Herr
Renner at its head
Austria was occupied by American,
Russian, British and French forces,
with Vienna as the administrative
center for the occupation forces. The
Soviet government counted, however,
without the Austrian people them
selves. When they were given an
opportunity for free elections they
defeated the Communists, kicked
them out of the government and
made their government truly demo-
cratic. f.

al of nationality laws, on the thesis
that if cat has kittens in the over

could choose between British ma

he been born in France, he would
have been French, unless his parents
had taken steps to register his
American citizenship, or naturalize
him, and formally waive his French
citizenship. Without these steps he
might one day be called for French
military service. Although his
mother is Danish, he would have
been regarded as American, by pa

Russia, he would be a Soviet citi-

to join his parents, or be taken

results of intensified nationalisms

objected to the proposed exchange

the bases. He had not mentioned

that, in return for the destroyers

Three More Blind EskinOs Enter Oregon School

Alaska Native Service announc- es the acceptance of three more Alaskan children in the State School for the Blind at Salem, Ore. This raises the Alaska enrollments in this school to nine Native chill dren from Fairbanks, Hydaburg, Juneau, Kanakanak, Ketchikan, Perryville @, Pilot Point, and Rampant. Two Alaska children, from Juneau and Nome, respec- lively, are enrolled in the Wash ington School for the Blind at Van couver. The Washington State School for the Deaf also at Van couver is accepting four new en- rollees from Barrow, Bethel, Holy Cross, and Hydaburg, in addition to the two Alaskan children all ready there from Juneau and Ty- onek.
 All of these blind and deaf chil- dren are supported in the schools by funds provided through the Alaska Native Service for the edu- cation of the handicapped. Until special educational facilities for the blind and deaf are available in Alaska these opportunities pro- vided by the Alaska Native Serv- ice, in cooperation with the States of Washington and Oregon, make possible the academic and voca- tional training necessary for these children's development into self supporting citizens. It is also pos sible through these schools to se- cure special medical services that give promise of improved vision or hearing for these handicapped children.
 Temporary foster homes usual ly make it possible for these stu dents to remain in the States un- der helpful home care during the summer ,thus adding to the child's raining and lessening the expense for travel between their homes and the State schools.
 The case studies for these han dicapped children and arrange ments for their enrolment in the special schools were made by Dr. Evelyn l. Butler, Supervisor of So- cial Welfare in the Alaska Native Service. Miss Glayds McIlveen, Indian Service Social Worker in Seattle, visits these students occa- sionally and reports their progress to the Juneau Alaska Native Serv- ice Office.
