 Both charges ridiculous of course. It may be argued that the publication of these sensational documents does not help at this time. when Ameri- canSoviet relations anything but good Evidently the British and American authorities who sanctioned the release felt otherwise, else they would not have done so.
 As for the alleged spuriousness of the documents, there is too much secondary evidence available to support their authenticity One needs only to read the several books the German underground movement during the to be able to piece together account of NaziSovet negotiations easily to be substantiaed by the official documents.
 How far such negotiations have been on the level in view of the notorious and habtual disregard for agreements by the two contracting parties other question Subsequent events show that the nonaggression pact of 1889 between Germany and Russia was founded mutual fear and dstrust And it will be long time perhaps, before the world knows for certain who executed the first double Hitler Staln, what caused Hitler suddenly to abandon his plans for the invasion of England in favor of trying to finish off Russia.

An Injustice to Veterans
(New York Times)

In many respects the United States Government has been very generous to it's war veterans. But in he field of Social Security there is still work for Congress to do in correcting present injusces to re- turned veterans One of these has been pointed out to us by man who in service for more than four years He writes that he had been earning an average monthly wage of $250 more when he went into the Army No matter how much he earns or how long he works he can never under present law recover the average earning level for Social Security purposes that he would have had by simply staying at home and remaining in covered" employment. The Social &c., curity Administration has been well aware of this problem and has made recommendations on it in its last live annual reports Several alternative methods of dealing with it have been suggested
 It is not an easy problem to meet with fairness to all Certainly the principle should be established in legislation that veteran should not suffer any provable loss in Social Security benefits present or future because of service that has not been met by unrelated benefits the Veterans Administra tion A fair assumption can be made that the wages of almost every able-boded young man would have risen during the years if he had stayed in cov- cred employment instead of going into service Whether allowance should be made for that probable rise In income is question of policy to be decided But at any rate Congress should at this session to it that veterans shall not be penalzed in this way or any

HELP THE RED CROSS WORK

The Juneau Chapter of the American Red Cross opens it's annual solicitation campaign today to raise the money for that organizations local and national activities the field of public health, welfare and relief
 The goal for this area is $8,489 approximately two- thirds of which will be used for local activities
 During 1947 the local office handled cases at the rate of 75 each month.
 Juneau also benefits from the one-third sum which is sent to the national organization in the form of free blood for transmission and other national activ- ties In the case of serious disaster the national Red Gross uses these funds for emergency relief As a result of the terrible Texas City disaster almost $2O0oO0O was spent by the national Red Cross for relief of the unfortunate residents of Texas City.

 Until the State Department works out some broadgauged, far sighted statesmanship of this kind instead of sitting on its hands, no peace will come to the Near East.

thright leadership of the Henry l.. Stimson- Charles Evans Hughes variety will be necessary. But the doctorinp can be done.
 Here are two remedies:
 Remedy No. involves King Abdullah of Transjordania, the one Arab chieftain not adverse to the partition of Palestine. It also happens that Abdullah has the only efficient, fairly modern army in the Arab countries, trained by the British and quite capable of maintaining order.
 With the division of Palestine, it would be quite logical to give King Abdullah the Arab territory now under the British mandate which the United Nations has de- creed shall become separate and independent of the Jewish area. In return, Abdullah could be re- quired to use his efficient army to maintain peace.
 HOW TO DEAL WITH ARABS
 Handling Arab chieftains IS something at which the British have long been adept. We, our selves, haven't done badly in re- cent years The system is com- bination of browbeat and bak- sheesh. All during World War I, Arab chiefains were kept in line by constant stream of British silver. During World War II their baksheesh went under a different name-oil royalties.
 Today, the kings of Arabia are just as dependent on us as we are on their oil-only more so. They don't want francs, or pounds, or even rubles in payment for oil-- only dollars. Without dollars their desert monarchies would go up in dust.
 This leads to Palestine remedy No. 2.
 Some years ago Herbert Hoover proposed that the Tigris and Eu- pirates valleys be developed by irrigation and water power, making them-as in the days of the Gar den of Eden-one of the garden spots of the world.
 Hoover's proposal could now be carried out for the benefit of the Arabs and as means Of counterbalancing Arab claims in Palestine. The projects could be financed from the vast profits of the Arahian-American Oil Com pany.
 In other words, we pay off the Arabs for their equity in Palestine by setting up a new irrigated homeland for them in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys.

WORSE THAN TEAPOT DOME
 This 5,OOO,O00 favor to the oil companies came on top of one of the rawest deals in American oil history = even including Teapot Dome. Tn June, l945, the U. s. Navy signed a contract with Ar amco (owned by Standard of Cali fornia and Texaco) by which it bought fuel oil for the high price of $105 a barrel and diesel oil for Sl.68 a barrel, despite the fact that the British were getting oil in the Near East for about half that price, and despite the fact that James Moffett had offered oil in l94l for ,75 cents per barrel of diesel oil and 40 cents for fuel oil.
 Higher ups in the Navy bought Armaco oil at this high price de- spite protests by Junior naval offi- cers and despite an adverse recom- mendation by the U. s. Naval Boiler Testing Laboratory.
 In other words, the whole his- tory of Arabian oil shows that the Arabian American Oil Company has received special prices, special

their debt to the taxpayers by sub- sidizing the new Arab project
 What few people realize is that much of the baksheesh which has kept King Ibn Saud happy so far has come from the US. Treas ury. In ether words, U. s. tax payers advanced the money, while U. s. oil companies reaped the profits.
 The U. s. taxpayers subsidy to the oil companies takes three diff ferent forms: l, the cost Of the American fleet which keeps a friendly eye on the Near East and without which the Arabian oil in- yestment would be worth nothing 2, paying twice as much for Arab ian American oil than was neces- sary: 3, cash advances to King Ibn Saud through the REC and the Export Import Bank.
 Altogether, a total of $55,000, 900 has been advanced to Ibn Saud by the U. s. taxpayer in actual cash; $3o,O00,000 having been put up by the REC during the war when Ibn Saud complained he wasn't getting enough from oil royalties; and s25,o00,Ouo having been put up by the Export-Import Bank so the king could build a railroad. A highway, argued the bankers, was more practical. But the State Department demanded the railroad. Ibn Saud never had had railroad and wanted to ride on one, argued the State Depart ment. He was tired of camels and caravar.s
 This was the same State De- partment which has so consistent " opposed the Jews in Palestine, but which has humored every whim of the Arab kings. So even though one Export-Import Bank official suggested it would be bet ter to keep the king happy by building small railroad in the palace grounds rather than going to all the expense of one across the desert, the State Department said no In the end, King Ibn Saud got the S25,000,000

Citizen Committee
Meet Tonight ,

Tonight a small group will meet
in the YMCA to begin the organ
ization of an Independent Citizens
Action committee which will I'M
dertake the task of making the
various elements on the West Side
move in unison in the struggle
against reaction of every form.
1t is not anticipated that the
committee will serve as a sound
ing board where individuals can
air their grievances in a rhetori-
cal fashion, or where a group will
get together to arrange bridge
parties. 1t is anticipated, however,
that once started, the committee
will carry on a militant, concrete,
practical program to alleviate the
unequal pressures directed against
the Negro people locally and ma
tionally. =
The immediate objective is to
raise funds for the purpose Of
opening a centrally located office
in which the important, hard work
can be directed. In addition to aid
ing people of the community with
their legal, and personal problems,
the group will strive to wed lead
ers Of various civic, fraternal and
lodge organizations with the mas
ses of working people so that when
community action is needed, as it
now is on the Summit street Ugly
Duckling, their combined resources
will be intensified a hundred fold.
