Letter To Editor
DEAR EDITORS:

The territorial legis, ature con- venes in few days, and the leg. islation 10 be considered by them will perhaps affect every one In Alaska either socially or economically.
 l believe it is the fesponsibili. ty of a local newspaper such as the MIRROR to keep the peo ole informed as to the legislation under cousiderat on from week to week It Is then the responsl- tsillty ot the people to express their views and opinions to their elected representatives
 Consider how hard it is to get good legislation Bassed when you make specific recommendations and then back them up Unless the people of Alaska make them. selves heard, the bulk of the leg islation passed will perhaps bene. it the small but loud groups Historically the interests of these spec,al groups have not been for the best interests of A. 4aska.

Church Women Express
Atlantic Pact Views

The resolution passed by Ore
gon Council of Church Women at
their recent annual meeting con-
corning the North Atlantic pact
received major attention OF Port
land Council OF Church Women at
their meeting last week. They
analysed a telegram on the sub
ject from Senator Morse IN reply
to Mrs. Mary M. Duncan. corre-
spending secretary of Oregon
Council. and sent a lengthy an
swer.
Members expressed surprise
that he even considered they
would "revert to any policy based
upon ISOLATION since church
women are pledged to support
United Nations and ARE commit
ted to a plan for world law"
They quoted a statement by
Trygve Lie. date February IL,
which follows:
"If people generally begin to
accept alliance as a substitute for
genuine worldwide collective Sc
curity, then the hope of a lasting
peace would be gravely endan-
gered."
Church women pointed out that
1t hasn't been proven such an al
lance can be adopted through
U. N. and they would regret any
plan which would bypass and
weaken u. N.
In part, the answer to Morse
is: IF our state department were
completely in civilian hands, we
should be able to make our oppo-
sition to Russian aggression very
clear without reverting to the old
and now obsolete power politics
based on military might.
"The Truman doctrine has adj
mittedly not been so successful in
stopping Communism In Greece
as the original Marshall Plan has
in Western Europe. For many
months whenever the United
States has resorted to use of pow
er politics. Russia has moved Inn
mediately to enlarge her sphere
of influence. The answer to the
suggested North Atlantic pact has
been Russian pressure in Finland
and Norway and announcement of
increased military preparation"
Mrs. Duncan served with five
others on a four-point panel on
which they discussed: Civil-Lib-
critics, Observation-Disclosures Free
dom, F.E.P.C. bill. Restricted
Covenants.
