talistic system Of which we are
part. There could be nothing
comparable to it in the Soviet
bloc of nations, all Of whose cur
rencies are pegged according to
instructions from Moscow.
It is even more. 1t is a measure
out of which we must hope will
come greater strength for the
Western nations who are stand
ing together against the threat
of aggression from the East. To
the extent that a better currency
strength ems the
economies Of the Western nations
it is an important step in the
conduct of the cold war.
Not Without Pitfalls.
However, it has not been with
out its pitfalls. and one of these
is the danger that the Moscow
directed Communists will exploit
both the momentary instabilities
which result from the sharp re-
of economic relations
and the long-term discomfort OF
the workers with what may grow
into an almost oppressive in
crease in the cost of living.
There Is no question that the
British government, in taking the
initial step of devaluation which
touched off the chain reaction,
has had to count on the co-opera-
ton of labor in its attempt to hold
the line against wage increases.
Labor, however, has a habit some
times Of looking at its own in
apart from the interests of
the nation as a whole. There is,
the danger that British
labor will not go along with the
burdens which the Socialist gov
thus has imposed on it.

This Changing World
Russia Expected to Exploit Situation
In Western European DeValuation

An imminent peril Of Gripping
strikes in the British econ
omy is a somewhat more OBJ
scure threat in other countries.
Whereas in Britain the labor re-
action to devaluation is already
under way, in France it is just be-
ginning to show itself.
The French Communists are
seeking to destroy the Queuille
government, which has established
a remarkable record in French
politics by remaining in Office for
more than a year. And, strange
ly enough, they have as their po-
tential allies the so-called Force
Ouvriere (Workers' Force) which
was established as a non-Commu-
mist federation of labor a couple
of years ago when the Commu-
nists were attempting, by strikes
and disorders, to take over the
French government.
Hope to Unseat Queuille.
The French Communists are
demanding that Parliament be
called back into session prema-
turely Git is due to reconvene next
month"; to debate the merits of
devaluation and, they no doubt
hope, to unseat the Queuille gov
ernment. There is no question that
the issue of labor demands for
higher wages will be waiting for
the deputies when they get back
in October, if there is no call for
them to reconvene earlier.
The full Communist reaction
will not be known until Moscow
has had time to organize it COM
pletely and with a careful eye to
exploitation of the situ-
alton. It will select the weakest
spot for attack. Its best chance
would appear to be in France,
where the Communists already
hold a large bloc of seats in the
National Assembly, although not
quite one-third. The British
worker, no matter how he works
at cross-purposes to his own gov
ernment. is not good Communist
material. Nor is the Italian work.
er, who already has shown in his
voting that he stands more with
his government and church than
with the foreign power which at
tempts to subvert that govern
ment.
Moscow's interests will be served
more by a persisting condition Of.
economic chaos and threatened
bankruptcy in the West than by
the solution of economic prob
lens which are, in themselves,
the sources Of. serious social prob
lens.

hosts-Gov. Ernest Gruening of
Alaska and Joseph R. Harrington,
Hawaiian delegate-have worked
on Congress.
But the Communist cloud has
tarnished the high hopes and
promises. The 80th Congress sent
Senator Butler Of Nebraska here
to report to the 81st. Unfortu-
nately for Hawaii. he is a Midwest
isolationist remote in experience
and sympathies from problems
here. He saw the Communists
plain but little else.
Here the Truman administra-
tion presents the anomaly Of its
leaders cheering for statehood but
their territorial governor. Ingram
Stainback, baking. Asked If he
supports statehood now, the Gov
ernor replied with thunders of
silence. Admittedly it's an en-
barrassing question for a local
politician who is not in favor. q
fact disclosed in Washington when
Governor Gruening was heard to
express himself forcibly about Gov.
Stainback's failure to back him up.
It seems it's both or neither, a
possible reason being that Hawaii
favors Republican, Mr.. Earring
ton. while Alaska goes Democratic.
This is a standoff palatable to any
Congress.
Friction in High Places.
A further anomaly in the Ha-:
waiian situation is that the drag
on the statehood wheel, Gov.
Stainback. represents the New
Deal Party which prides itself on
looking forward in a large. liberal
and international manner. Mean
while. the battle for the statehood
cause embraced by all New Deal
leaders goes on under the leader
ship of the Republican, Mr.. Far
rington.
Gov. Stainback and Delegate
harrington do not get on. This
disclosure can be filed with the
department of understatement.
Seriously speaking. the state
hood reverse represents still an
other unfortunate aspect Of the
current labor disputes which lends
itself to Communist exploitation,
Already the leadership Of Harry
Bridges is asserting that employ
ers done really want statehood
since labor has shown political
strength. According to Jack Hall,
strike boss, their fear Of being out
voted is unfounded. He estimates
that about half the ILWU men,
bers (some 10000 are citizens
and with their families-many are
unmarried, he says-could account
for 10000 votes. The voting pop
ulation of the territory he puts
at. 10000.
Faith of Some Wavers.
However. the power Of a strong
minority to influence elections is
simple political fact. It is also
true that Mr.. Bridges so far has
had no trouble taking his union as
a unit down the Communist Party
line. Mr.. Hall says frankly that

Real Voice Needed
Acheson Missed Chance in L. n. Speech
To Rise Above Routine of Diplomacy

There he put the y. N. IN its
proper function and perspective.
And again, in his conclusion:
"The public interest Of the world
community demands that we get
on with our business"
Is it extremely naive and too
much to ask If he could not have
seized this very propitious hour
when peace again seems to be flut-
tering it's wings. when more
friendly spirit appears to be
abroad in the U. N. Assembly. and
go on boldly from these premises?
Go on to put UP squarely to our
world parliament, and in words
that would arouse and stir people
everywhere, the need for the next
step, that is to strengthen the
U. N. into a really effective uni
versal organization implemented
to cope with the problems OF the
world community"
Stepped Up, Backed Away.
He stepped right up to it-then
backed away. And this is the
hour, and ours is the voice that
count so much in the world. We
have tremendous power, material
and spiritual, and great moral in
f1uence. Yet we seem very timid
about using them.
It does not seem enough to ex-
cuse this failure by pointing out
that our State Department pre-
sented some months ago to the
U. N. Assembly proposals for
strengthening the U. N. embodied
in a Senate-approved resolution
sponsored by Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, Of Michigan. It does
not seem sufficient that this went
through what the State Depart
ment calls channels" So much
gets lost in Channels" diplomatic
channels"
This is another day and a new
and fresh occasion. What we
need is a voice, somebody to tell
it all again to our people and the
people of the world, somebody to
call -bluntly for action. The peo-
pie are told too little about these
things. Sometimes it seems that
our leaders get so involved in de-
tails, sit so close to the picture,
that they lose sight of the big
need of which plain human be-
ings are conscious.

inquiry as to the alleged activities
of naval personnel against the
Air Force. Likewise. as q recip-
rocal courtesy. the Secretary Of
the Navy might well have asked
the Secretary Of the Air Force to
investigate the attacks made In
print on the Navy by Air Force
officers. Testimony to this effect
was placed in the record Of the
House Armed Services Committee,
but nothing was done about 1t.
Indeed, there was really very
little cross-examination by the
House committee. It was q one
sided investigation. Naval officers
were not put on the witness stand.
One Of the things a naval court
inquiry permits is cross-examina-
ton Of witnesses. MIR. Symington
declines to testify, he avoids
cross-examination as to why he
investigated a sister service.
All this merely adds to the
mystery and shows that unifica-
ton In spirit will never be
achieved by statute or executive
order and that it can be accom-
plished only when each service is
permitted to evaluate its own
weapons and when budgets for
each are fixed by the President
and the Director Of the Budget
and the Secretary Of Defense,
without permitting the heads Of
two armed services to decide how
much money q third armed serv-
ice shall have. Three West Point
graduates versus one Annapolis
graduate deciding budgets IN the
Joint Chiefs Of Stan will not pro-
mote unity or mutual trust or an

Pacific Explorer Is White Elephant On U. s. Hands

 Beg operated the Pacific EX- plorer and its four auxiliary fish ing craft off Costa Rica from Jan uary to July 1947, and returned to Astoria, Ore, with 2,250 tons of frozen tuna.
 Rival Pacific Coast tuna can ners protested to Washington against competition through gov ernment subsidy"
 From March to July, 194S, the Explorer operated in western Alaskan waters. It processed al most 100000 king crabs and more than l,6OO,00O pounds of bottom fish. Since then it has been in dock at Astoria, Ore.
 A. w. Anderson, chief of com mercial fisheries for the fish and wildlife service, told a reporter that as result of the maritime commissions action he had asked industry for an opinion on disposi- tion of the ship.
 The National Gamers ASsocia- ton and the National Fisheries h. stitute said they are studying An derson's request.
 At those bids, it looks like the government is taking an awful shellacking," commented Charles Carry, an official of the canners association.
 Anderson said the Pacific Ex- plorer failed to defray the cost of the Alaskan crab operation, par tially because of the difficulty and expense of an initial operation.
 The Costa Rican trip, however, demonstrated the feasibility of factory vessels, he said.
