This Changing World
Acheson and Bevin Believed Agreed
On Future Policy of West Toward China

according to the State Depart
ment, like Americans less than
they do the British. Consequently.
we are rapidly withdrawing all
consular personnel and placing
American interests in the hands
Of British officials in Communist
China.
For reasons that are not quite
clear here, the British govern
ment seems to think that the
old-established British firms in
China will be able to do business
with the Communists, as in the
past. AS a matter of fact, British
exports to Communist China from
Hong Kong. Singapore and other
parts of the empire are quite
heavy right now, although the
Communists have little to ex-
change for goods received.
Have Little to Export.
The Communists have a certain
quantity of pigs .bristles which
they can export to the world mar
ket, as well as some antimony
which they found stockpiled at
Tsingtao when the Nationalist
were compelled to leave that port
But they have little else.
The London government ap-
pears to be little impressed by the
certainty that when and if a fed
Grafton of Chinese Communist re-
publics is created. its economy will
be directed by and from Moscow.
The British foreign secretary
appears to be convinced that the
old British firms who did business
in China under the autocratic en-
perors and later under the repub-
lie. with its plague of warlords,
will be able to do the same thing
under the Communist regime in
China.
According to what Is learned
about the present discussions, our
policy of writing off the non-Com-
munist government will remain
unchanged, regardless of what
Congress says or does. At the same
time the British government will
assume the role of peacemaker
and when federal government is
formed in China. the Foreign Of
flee will give its formal recogni-
ton as soon as possible.
When this has been done the
American Government, with view
to safeguarding the economic in
terests of American firms which
have been in China for a long
time. will begin to move in the
same direction and eventually will
extend its recognition. too, with
the argument that we cannot af-
ford to let the British have the
Chinese field to themselves.

He said: Cowboy type films
could be made in Australia very

AIosko Steamship Co Lowers Fares

The Alaska Steamship Company this week announced special re- duced passenger fares on round trips from Alaska to Seattle and return for the fall winter and spring seasons, effective Oct. 10.
 ''In addition to the lower fares, ' Admiral F. A. Zeusler pointed out, passengers may now plan to take their cars along on steamer trips at greatly reduced rates under a new baggage tariff also being filed with the Maritime Commission. That will reflect an average saving of approximately 30 per cent on the former shipping costs on pas sengers' automobiles and will ap- ply both north and southbound."
 This tariff likewise becomes ef- fective October 10, but is not limit ed as to duration.
 The company also announced the inauguration of new fall and win ter Southeastern Alaska freight service with sailings every second Friday beginning Sept. 9.
 The steamer Victoria will be en- ployed on this run, calling at Ket- chikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Ju- neau and Sitka each voyage. The additional port of Pelican will be made on alternate voyages begin ming Sept. B, and the ports of Haines and Skagway on alternate voyages beginning Oct. 2.

BPR NOW UNDER COMMERCE DEPARTMENT

The Seward office of Bureau of Public Roads received word last week that the Bureau has been transferred from General Services to the Department of Commerce under the authority of a new ruling called Change Number Seven"
 Bids were opened on the contract for rebuilding the bridge over the west channel of Snow River at Mile 18 on the SewardAnchorage Highway. The name of the com pany winning the contract has not been made known in Seward.
 The new bridge is to take the place of a temporary structure erected after the former bridge was washed out in a flood about three years ago.
 The roadbed of the highway be- tween Mile and the Chugach For est boundary at Mile 5 is to be raised. At present the level is only a foot or two above a stream which has flooded the road in times past.

Labor Day Ball Profits Go To
 Fire Hall Fund

An eight piece orchestra will swing the beat for dancing feet at the annual Labor Day Dance next Monday at the Civic Center and a three piece combination will pro vide speciality numbers. Music will continue as long as anyone can shake leg.
 For Fire Hall
 While the affair is sponsored by the local longshoremen's unions, it is strictly for the benefit of the new fire hall fund, to which all proceeds will be given.
 Work is progressing on the fire hall now and concrete blocks are arriving on the scene for the erec- tion of the second story, which will house the city clerks office and council rooms.
 The usual refreshments will be available, including a soft drink and hot dog stand. A program is being arranged for intermission. Kids Party
 The unions have taken over the Civic Center for the entire day. In the afternoon there will be a party for children with free roller skat- ing for all. The party will begin at 200 and there will be ice cream pop and hot dogs for refreshments While the dance is sponsored by the longShore unions, businessmen in town are supporting it. This is the first time that these unions have entered into civic affairs not closely connected with union inter ests, and businessmen have reacted very favorably. In fact, a number of local firms have made donations to the cause. They have remarked that it is especially fitting for labor unions to sponsor civic cause with Labor Day benefit dance.

Registrations Slow
 For Sept. 8 Election

Registration of voters for the September election IS running far behind the expected total, al- hough the number registered reaches a total somewhat higher than for other elections.
 According to the new regulations made by the City Council last month it is now necessary to regis ter once each year in order to be eligible to vote.
 The reason more voters were ex- pected to register for the election is that an unusual amount of dis cussion has been stirred up over the three propositions to be decid- ed next Thursday.
 Tn sales tax question and the Sl04,000 bond issue for the power plant are bound to hit the voters directly in the tenderest part oi the pocketbook, and whether or not individual attitude is favorable the turnout should set voting record
 On the Question as to whether the mayors term of office should be extended to two years is a mat ter of administrative policy. Or that particular question the public appears to be unexcited.

UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS NEARLY 300 TO DATE

Applications for admission are coming in at about the same rate as last year, it was announced by the Office of the Registrar at the University of Alaska.
 Thus far, total of 218 men and 57 women have been formally ac- cepted for admission to the Uni versity and it is expected that the registration for the fall semester will total between 300 and $50. A total of 380 different students were enrolled for resident instruction last year, with extension students bringing the total enrollment for 1948-49 to 1916.
 In addition to the 218 men al ready accepted, there are approxi- mately 100 applications which are considered active, but which are still in process, according to Blaine E. Mercer, Registrar. Although many of these men will be ad- mitted to university classes, they will still face the problem of se- curing housing. All dormitory space for men has been taken and there is a waiting list for dormitory rooms. Local citizens have re- sponded enthusiastically and are aiding the university in locating private rooms at rentals within the means of students. We are grate- full for this help and most espe- cially to the local newspapers and radio stations for calling attention to the room shortage" Mercer said.
 The university still has available dormitory space for women, it was stated.

Sidener Has First Geiger Counter Here For Prospecting

The first Geiger Counter, used for locating and tracing atomic metals, to arrive in Seward has been purchased by M. H. Sidener.
 Sidener has long been interested in prospecting and minerology. He has obtained the Geiger Counter with the intention of prospecting the area for traces of uranium, which the government is seeking in paying quantities.
 Fairly extensive quantities of uranium have been discovered in northern Utah and Tn several spots in the Rocky Mountains, and a small amount on the Seward Pen insula. The Kenai district, however, has never been prospected thor oughly for the atomic metals.

ARR Change Makes Johnson Foreman

A change in cargo handling at the Seward dock in which Elmer Johnson, one time manager of the Northern Stevedoring & Handling Corp. here, became dock foreman for the Alaska Railroad took place Thursday.
 At the same time the Railroad took over the hiring of check CTS in an economy move. Actually the Railroad adds eight persons to its employment list Some of the men, however, were employed by the Railroad before the change.
 Actually the salaries of the checkers have been paid indirectly by the Railroad through cost of freight handling. The only differ ence is that now the Railroad has direct control, which will make cooperation with railbelt shippers more effective.
 Elmer Johnson, w.io was mana ger for Northern Stevedoring from January 1947 till April 1948, has been in Anchorage for some time. For a time he was a partner in operation of the Jade Room Cock tail Lounge there, but his partner actually managed the place, John son said, while he worked for the Alaska Railroad.
