CONSTRUCTIVE cRITIcIsM NEEDED

In a recent syndicated column. David
Lawrence says. whatever the immediate
Significance of the Korean war; pro-
found effect has been produced upon the
long-range military policy of the United
States Never again can America depend
on that narrow concept of one-weapon
strategy"
Mr.. Lawrence then raises some very
important points about which all our peo-
pie have been thinking. Who is responsible
for having deprived the Navy of its status
as fleet in being?" Who took away
from the United States army its own air
plane units capable of operating alawys
with ground troops? Whose idea was it
that land armies of the United States could
fight without "armored divisions of tanks ?"
Who deprived us of overseas bases-fIoat-
ing or fixed?
Mr. Lawrence is bitter in his condemn
nation of civilian or military officials for
what he says is one of the worst plumbers
in all American history 1t is a blunder in4
excusable because it defied the plain lessons
of history taught in every naval or military
war college in every nation of the world
for centuries past.
The price of peace is never inexpen4
sive and the price of survival always is
economic discomfort and sacrifice
Tragically and inexcusable the ext
geneles of domistic politics cut the ground
from under national defense at the mos
ment when decisive strength was needed.
As result. thousands of Americans will
. lose their lives.
The kind of criticism backed with
facts that is now being leveled at those in
control Of the military establishment is too
serious to gloss over, or attempt to muzzle
with adnonitory advice that it is i'll timed,
The confidence of the people in the wis
dom OF top military policy has been
shaken Only honest correction of mistakes
can restore that confidence.

TerritOrv-Wide Election Campaign Ends Today

tCon;inued from Page one'
 the Democrats have upheld the financial deal between the Terri tory and the Palmer Airport As sociation as a proper one to get added federal money with ap- proval of federal officials.
 There also have been a tangled string of other issues tossed into the hot political skillet.
 While all the House seats are to be filled, six of the eight Sen ate seats to be filled are now held by Republicans. They were the Senators elctd in the 1946 Repub- lican. Three of them did not run for reelection and a fourth was beaten in the primaries. Lively scrambles are underway for the Senate seats in all four Divisions.

LOS ANGELES, P)-The navy is experimenting with two nu- clear reactors to drive ships and a project is on to power an air plane with atomic energy, says Gordon Dean, chairman of the atomic energy commission.
 He admitted, however, that de- velopment of these nuclear reac- tors is in the early stages"
 The commissions main aim is to continue stockpiling processed radioactive ore, Dean told the State Bar of California, to be ready for any emergency-come war or peace.

R. N. ROSS SURVEYING NOME HOUSING PROBLEMS

R. N. Ross of the Public Hous- ing Administration on the slum clearance project under the Alas ka Housing Authority, arrived in town yesterday with Pan .Ameri- can to confer with city officials on Nome's share of this project.
 MT. Ross, whose headquarters are in Fairbanks, stated this morning that although his trip is primarily a survey trip it will ac- quaint the people with the prin- ciple involved. Congress has au- thorized the building of 810,000 units in the United States and possessions, to be built over pe- riod of six years. This project has already become part of the na- tional budget and it is only fair that the Alaskan taxpayers get their share in the project, he stated.
 The projects are financed by sale of bonds, guaranteed by the United States government and in sured by them. The government buys the property on which the homes are constructed and are paid for by the individuals at a very low cost.
 MT. Ross will speak before the council tonight and also at the Chamber of Commerce meeting tomorrow noon. He is a guest at the Wallace Hotel.

Economist Warns Of Risk
In Building Industry Abroad
By the A,sseisisd Pres.

PHILADELPHIA, April IA
Duke University economist said
industrial nations like
the United States should look be-
fore they leap to help industrially
lunderdeveloped countries.
Prof. Joseph J. Spengler said
there are many difiiculties In in
duStrialization of countries like
those of Asia. Africa and Latin
America, because Of populati tioR
density. low-average income ard
concentration OF the labor force
In agriculture.
Prof. Spensler told the annual
meeting Of the American Phile-
sophical Society:
1T is desirable that the many
difiiculties attendant upon the in-
dustrialiZation Of nom industrial
countries be correctly assessed.
Otherwise industrial nations, and
particularly the United States,
will undertake commitments that
are both injudicious and beyond
their aggregate economic capacity.
Even In the absence Of popula-
ton growth" he said, 1T will bs
dificult for the underdevsloped
countries to secure sufiicient cap
ital for their industrialisa tion.
Their incomes are 50 low as to
permit little saving. Moreover.
because many Of the political and
other institutions Of the underde-
veloped countries are defective.
they frequently represent bad in
vestment risks"

Post-Easter Decline
Continues in Retail
Trade During Week
By the As,oeisted Pres,

NEW YORK, April 2l.-Retail
trade continued to decline this
week. Dun & Bradstreet reported
today in survey.
Continuing last weeks post
Easter decline in consumer spend
ing, retail dollar volume dipped
slightly during the week ended
this Wednesday," the survey
showed.
1T was slightly below the level
for the comparable week q year
ago. A later Easter season in
I949' was largely responsible for
higher sales level in comparison
with this week.
THE countrywide demand for
apparel decreased moderately this
week. There was slight consumer
interest in mems and women's
suits in quality dresses. While
informal and washable dresses
were widely purchased, the gen.
orally reduced margin of markup
on these items did not appre-
clably affect dollar volume.
THE demand for bathing suits
and underwear dipped somewhat.
There was much favorable re-
sponse to children's clothing
Playsuits were especially sought
by shoppers.

Wheat Stocks 13 Pct.
Above 1949 in Major
Exporting Countries
BY the Assesietea Rts.s

Heavy postwar production has
boosted wheat stocks in major
exporting countries far above
normal.
The Agriculture Department re-
ported today that April / sup
plies for export and carryover
reserves in the United States,
Canada. Argentina and Australia
totaled about 92l million bushels.
This is about IS per cent great
er than a year ago and 64 per
cent above the l935-l9Ss average
for April l. However, it is only
about half the record 1852 .0oo.-
900 bushels in l943.
Z. S. Has SGT Million Bushels.
OF the total supplies available
for export and carryover. the
United States held SGT million
bushels; Canada, 1875 million: Ar
gentina, 80 million. and Australia
l20 million.
The department said latest pro-
duetion prospects indicate that
this years crops may add to the
excess stocks in exporting coun-
tries. 1t is quite possible, the
agency said, that the United
States again will produce more
than it will need for domestic and
foreign markets.
Crop Could Exceed Billion Bushels.
The United States crop could
easily total l.064, ,0OO, 900 bushels
despite damage caused in the
Southern plains by insects and
dry weather. Market demands
are now expected to require abou,
l billion bushels-700 million for
domestic use and 800 million foI
export.
The announcement said pros
poets for winter wheat in con.
tinental Europe are promising.
Conditions during the fall ir
Soviet Russia were reported not
particularly favorable. with some
regions lacking adequate snow
cover until late winter.
