being too friendly to the Reds
Said Mrs. Douglas:
I'VE have a three-year program
to help the southern half of Korea
to be independent and self-support-
ing. If we abandon them we can
be sure that in two or three months
they will collapse which will mean
that the Communist forces will
take over, and all of Korea will
then come under a Communist gov
ernment-and Russian influence.
This is the only foothold we
have in northeastern Asia. Is it
worth the gamble. or not? 1T
seems to me very emphatically that
it is"
COP Congressman Nixon, on the
other hand, voted against Korean
aid, now claims Mrs. Douglas is
pro-Red.

SALMON DERBIES = IN JUNEAU AND
THE NORTHWEST

The Empire, like other newspapers throughout the
length and breadth of the land finds itself strangely
slenced this summer
1t is unable to speak up with the promotion it
would like to give to our towns favorite summer
sporting event -the Golden North Salmon Derby.
recently issued postal regulation classes fishing
contests such have become general wherever sports
fishing is practiced lotteries, CANDLES, games OF
chance and newspapers are forbidden the mails If
they advertise Or in stories publcize the gamble
involved in a fishing derby. E
Protests to the ruling have been nationwide
In a recent congressional committee meeting OBJ
lection was made to the ruling the basis OF one
congressmans contention that successful fishing
matter of skill, not luck.
Another objection was made to cabinet member
taking unto himself a power that the congressman
thought belonged in the Congress. who makes the
laws around here, anyway he asked.
With the further comment that Jim Farley would
never have promulgated such regulation, the meet
ing was adjourned ito go fishing"
So, there it is sports fishing fans.

Rock Island Intervenes

To both lhomaS ana MORSE, tiie
President iaid, talk to john
referring I'd John Steeiinan, White
House assistant on labor matters.
Steelman, in turn, suggested that
a lesser figure than the President
make the appeal to the rail unions.
He did not believe the President
should have to intervene personally
in every strike.
Before the matter was finally
settled, however, hale and hearty
Harry Darby, one of the most pop
ular men on Capitol Hill, called
at the White House, bluntly told
the President that the switchmen's
strike had held up the movement
of midwest grain.
why don't you tell them to GO
back to work, or you'll step in
and no nonsence?" advised Sen
ator Darby, who issssga sdir ectors OF
the struck Rock Island ma ilroad.
Mr. Truman agreed this was the
thing to do and at his press con-
ference that was what he did.
Note-ironieally, the swftchmen'S
strike was called of. against fouI
of the five western railroads, but
not against the Rock Island, OF
which Senator Darby is director
The union announced it would con-
tinue the Rock Island strike as a
test case.

rest of the worYo does not count.
Only Soviet Russia matters. This
is a fundamental Russian attitude
involving the MARKHAM assumption
of the world revolution, which is
actively propagated at all times,
even in such a body as the United
Nations.
If the United Nations submitted
to this Russian point of view, it
would soon have to cease to exist,
for it would then be nothing more
than the instrument of the policy
of one nation. Trygve Lies at
tempted appeasement of Russia
failed. because he refused to recog-
nize the Russian position that it
would not submit to a majority
vote.
The Russian fallacy lies then
in its assumption that the United
Nations is an instrument of policy
and cannot act without its consent,
even when it boycotts the United
Nations. Teh rejection of this view
by most of the other member states
and their participation in the kor-.
can war cannot make them ag-
gressors. For if the object OF the
United Nations is not to prevent
the conquest of one country by
another. then it has no object.
2. The second faEacy is the Rus
sian contention that once Russian
troops were withdrawn from Kor-
ca. the Russians are not engaged
in military activity in Korea. This
could be true of every country on
earth except Soviet Russia.
For the Russians have given ev-
idence in many countries, China,
Eastern Germany, Bulgaria, Ru-
mania, Poland, the erstwhile Greek
guerilla army, Hungary, Czecho-
slovakia, of training native army,
of providing it with integrated
Russia arms, tanks, airplanes ana.
whatever is REQUIRED, and although
such an army is natively led, it
is advised by Russian experts.
Furthermore, all countries which
are part of the Federation OF Sow
let Socialist Republics accept I'M
structions from Moscow. Because
Tito rejected such instructions
down to the slightest minutia Of
administration, he and his country
were elected from the Soviet fed
Grafton.
AS Northern Korea is member
of the Federation of Soviet Soc
ialLst Republics. it is required to
accept Russian leadership and to
lobey Russian orders.
Actually. the other nations of
the world have no way of dealing
with such countries, except to re-
gard their conduct as outrageous.
They assume that sovereignty Is
not limited by fealty to another
state. In the Korean war, this
relationship is being challenged.
Should the challenge be successful,
the entire Russian system of sat
elite states could cave; therefore,
Russia's response cannot long be
merely verbal-particularly should
the United Nations intervention be
successful.

UNFORGOTTEN STATEMENTS
MADE LAST JANUARY WHICH
SOME CONGRESSMAN WOULD
LIKE TO FORGET:
Rep. Robert Chiperfield, Illinois
Republican-"In my judgment, to
furnish (Korean) aid would be like
treating a hangnafl on ones finger
when the arm was swollen with
poison from the wrist to the shoul-
der"
Rep. Donald Jackson California
Republican-"South Korea is a
Bataan without Corregidor, a
Dunkerque without a flotilla, a
dead-end street without an escape"
Rep. John M Vorys, Ohio Re
publican-"This (Korean add is
strictly rathole money which we
cannot afford"
Rep. Lawrence Smith, Wisconsin
Republican-"Our taxpayers are en-
titled to some consideration. This
(Korean Aid is absolutely 'oper-
alton rathole.' 1t will be said, Of
course, that this is demagoguery,
but if that be demagoguery, make
the most Of it."

Nixon would like to have forgotten:

Korea was established by the Uni
ted Nations. Under the secret
terms of the Teheran agreements,
the country had been divided at
the 18th Parallel Soviet Russia
occupying the northern part; the
United States, the southern part.
This division had to do with the
war against Japan, the then oc-
cupier of Korea; it was not in

United Nations.
Although the United States. as
the conqueror of Japan, has spec
ial interest in all japanese ter
ritory, we have gone into Korea
with a fighting force under the
auspices of the United Nations
Security Council, of which Soviet
Russia is a member.
Had Russia attended the session
authorizing this action, her repre-
sentative might have employed the
veto, thus making the protection of
Korea by the United Nations illegal.
Soviet Russia, however, chose to
boycott this session of the Security
Council, as she has, for six months,
boycotted all activities of the Uni
ted Nations. A Boycott is not a
veto; therefore. the record can
only show Russia as absent and
taking no position.
Obviously, the Russians have not
accepted this view. Their conten-
ton is that unless they approve
an act of the United Nations, that
act is illegal In word, all the

ARE WE AGGRESS0RS?

The Russians take the position
that the United States is the ag-
gressor in the Korean war because
the United States, as foreign
nation, interviewed in a civil war
involving Koreans, north and south.
The Russians maintain that as
there are no Russian troops in
Korea, Soviet Russia is not involved
and is therefore not only not the
aggressor but could even be re-
garded as strictly neutral.

Thomas j. Duffy former president of the NJ b. of o. T.
A native of England, Mr.. Duffy came to this coun-

he became potter.
He started to work in the pottery when III years
old There were many causes for his rapid ascendancy
i'm the ranks of the N B. of o. p His unique position OF
strength and power could be attributed to his unswerv
ing loyalty to his associates and to his advocacy of the
true principles and purposes of labor unions.
At the age of 22 he elected secretary of the
