the mete fact Of b eingHhite,
irrespective of his individual
worth. This has burned deep into
the heart and mind Of Asia.
Today one hears all over that
continent the b litter assertion
that the United States could have
dropped the atomic bomb on Ger
many, but deliberately held back,
reserving so terrible a weapon
for use on a colored race. This is
a clear falsehood. since the bomb
was not completed until after
VE-Day, but its general accept
ance by Asians is a symptom Of
their deep distrust Of western
motives.
Much Of this is unfair. Much is
understandable. Racial bigots and
hatemongers in the United States
would do their best to give sub
stance to such distrust. A Ger
man-American paper published
in Chicago characterizes the past
war as a destruction of the most
outstanding member of the white
race" which may mean the e n d
of white supremacy"
! In milder forms such thinking
still di isses "Japs" and
"Chinks," "wogs" and mig.
gers" as an inherently inferio,
breed of men. It frames an I'm.
migration Act of 1924 which dir.
ectly affronts the self-respect Of
million of Asians when a few
ounces of ingenuity, considerable
ness, and concession could have
drawn up an inoffensive law
which would still have prevented
the influx of any appreciable
number of Oriental laborers tu
depress the American standard
of living.
Today in Asia the most potent

THE LONG VIEW on ASIA

At the present moment the
Soviet Union a n d the United
States stand out as two giant,
solitary peaks against the sky.
This will not always be so. As
the rest of the world advances
beyond the foothills of recovery,
range upon Himalayan range Of
new power problems will come to
view.
At present the vast Asiatic low
lands with their proverty-stricken
millions are not in the foreground
of the western worlds concern.
China a i d, Japanese revival,
Korean division, India akistan
rivival are problems without the
urgency of European recovery.
Yet even now challenges which
in time may be greater t h a n
Russia's are looming up against
a red sky in the East. Caught in
the midst of nation
al. social, industrial, spiritual
Asia is cropping her way forward
to shape a future which will have
no place for that pillar of t h e
colonial past-"white suprem-
acy."
Few Occidentals realize the in
tensity of Oriental feeling on this
issue. Western Imperialism has
balanced economic exploitation
with humanitarian service, but its
fundamental sin has been to be-
lieve that a white man was en-
titled to a position of privilege by

First to Use Bomb

The Austrian army was the first
to use bomb in warfare. The small
explosive charges, with slow-burn-

did little harm, but they frightened
the Venetians badly.

COMMUNlCATl0M

To The Editor Of The Daily Alaska Empire During recent meeting of the Mayors of South east Alaska, held at Sitka, we were invited to visit the Alaska Native Service installation at Mt. Edge cumbe. A boat took us over to the island where we were met by Fred Geeslin, who is in charge. By bus we made a complete tour of the island, visiting the Tuber- culosis Hospital, the School and the Orthopedic Hospital. Everywhere { we went we were treated to a sight that made lasting impress ion on all of us.
 We saw for the first time that island that has been so cussed ana discussed ever sinces it's opening a year ago. It is harG to put on paper all of the fine work that IS being carried out there. The school with it's classes in boat building leather work, copper worK, home economies and all the other things that are giving the children chance to become good citizens.
 | At the Tuberculosis Hospital wt saw the fine care given to the pat ients, the clean bright rooms, ane all the helpers and nurses doing everything they can for the com fort of the sick. Then we Wen' to the Orthopedic Hospital. Tha' was the most wonderful of all : To see all those children and ba' hies, in braces and casts, thos' who might have gone through lif' 1 crippled and unable to earn liv' ing for themselves; here in thi hospital their crooked bones ar' being made straight. Some wh' would have spent all their life il 1 a wheel chair are being mad strong and whole again. It is won derful to see the happy faces.

Seldom has a picture feen more appropriately cast than are the cen tral roles of If Winter Comes,' showing at the Capitol Theatre.
 Walter Pldgeon brings all his stature as an experienced, adult ac- tor to the role of a Mark Sabre, giv- ing it force and roundness that will mark it as one of the finest things he has ever done.
 The distinguished Deborah Kerr, who recently received accolades for her work opposite Clark Gable in "The Hucksters," is completely at home as the sensitive English girl who has made mistaken marriage; while Angela Lansbury, in the role of the commonplace Mabel. again demonstrates her outstanding abil- ity as a character actress.
 Perhaps the surprise performance of the lot is tha. of Janet Leigh, who, in what is only her second ap- pearance before the motion picture | eameraS, plays the part oI lle tragic Fife with an intensity and emotional appeal that immediately places her in the category of one | of the screens most promising stars. It is a portrayal that will be dif- | ficult to forget.

Frances Stand on Germany

An official statement by Premier Robert
Schuman is an authoritative indication
that the French governmnt is about to
align itself with the United States and
Britain in q joint handling Of Western
Germany. Addressing congress OF his
own party, the MRP, Premier schuman
advocated rapid three-power settlement
of the German problem If agreement with
the Soviet Union is shown to be impossible.
He assured his hearers that France would
still insist on guarantees for her security
and for reparations. He likewise admitted
that such q three-power settlement In
opposition to Russia would be an un-
fortunate necessity. But, he argued, I'VE
feel that some solution is necessary. 1t
should be as least bad as possible, but
nevertheless a solution
Thus at long last, workable arrange
ment seems in the of1ng between the
three western powers. Lack OF agree
ment on their respective policies regard
ing Germany has been a grave handicap
ever since the close of the war. From the
very start, France has visualized the Ger
man problem quite differently from It's
English speaking Allies. Thrice invaded
by Germany within the span Of 10 years,
the French have dreaded the reconstitu-
ton of a united Germany, even under
international controls. What France
would really like is a loose federation of
German states, similar to the impotent
Germanic federation which existed before
the formation of the German Empire in
1871. Furthermore, France has envisaged
some measure of control over the western
members of such a confederation, plus a
separate administration Of the Ruhr,
Germany's industrial heart, on an inter-
national basis.
This French thesis, however, was op-
posed not only by the English-speaking
powers but likewise by Soviet Russia,
albeit for very different reasons. America
and Britain argued that, under the pro-
posed French setup, Germany's economic
| recovery would be impossible and that this
would impose lasting burden upon them,
to say nothing Of the bad effects upon
the general course of European recovery.
The Russian objection stemmed from its
deep-seated determination to revive Ger
man unity under its own auspices, involv-
ing the triumph of communism throughout
Germany and It's inclusion within the
Soviet sphere.
Obviously, the emergence OF COM
munized Germany in close alliance with
Soviet Russia would be for France q
specter far more menacing than Ger
many reconstructed under western direc-
ton and integrated within the economic

THROUGH English Eyes

That the third anniversary OF the oeatn
of Franklin Roosevelt should have passed
with comparatively little notice in this
country is not surprising thing.
There was a memorial service at the
late Presidents Hyde Park home, but for
most of us it was a day Of preoccupation
with the troublesome John L. Lewis, the
Nebraska primary, revolt in Bogota ana
the difficulties within the Democratic
administration. The present Is so much
upon us in America, and we live so close
to our great men, that years generally
must pass before we can appraise them
in proper perspective.
It was different In London. In Gros-
venor Square the sun was shining and the
flower beds in the park were IN doom.
But it was not the rarity Of beautiful
day which had brought the royal family,
the Prime Minister, winston Churchill ana
thousands of Londoners to the square.
They were there to witness the unveiling
of Britains memorial to Franklin Roose-
velt-a bronze statue cast along heroic
lines.
The domestic differences which color
our individual estimates of our wartime
President are alien to the British They
know little. or nothing Of them. Seen
through their eyes, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
more than any one else. symbolizes the
spirit of victory over the Axis and the
hope Of freedom for the future.
Mr.. Churchill expressed the prevailing
sentiment of the British people when he
gave this estimate of the Roosevelt
achievement: I'm his life and by his
action he changed decisively and pern1a-
nently the moral axis Of mankind by
involving the new world inexorably and
irrevocably in the fortunes OF the DID,
His life must therefore be regarded as
one of the commanding events in human
destiny
That observation has the force Of simple
truth. There may be Americans today
who shrink from the responsibilities OF
this Nations new role. But they cannot
escape the fact. The United States has
been swept out into the stream OF world
affairs and we are being carried along by
forces beyond our control. We need the
British, as they need us, and the sooner
we understand this the better 1t will be.
It was this historical fact that was In
the mind of our own Ambassador Douglas
when he told his London audience: MAY
this memorial in this square be symbolic OF
a unity of purpose which no calumny can
distort, no superficial difference can cor
rupt and no prejudice can destroy"
We have not seen the last OF the at
tempts, some OF sinistersdesign and some
merely the product of ignorance, to destroy
this unity. But they will fail in the future
as they have failed in the past. For what
ever else one may think Of Franklin D..
Roosevelt. he had the wisdom and he had
the genius to lead this Nation in the path
of cooperation with other peoples who
cherish freedom. And we have gone too
far to turn back.
