Before the shooting started, the
Truman Administration had given
the South Korean government well
above a half billion dollars in military
equipment, goods and cash, yet the
the South Koreans showed little in
clination to fight either before or aft

and troops.
Why? Because from the beginning
the Truman Administration, in keep

taken our feet out of the trough of
international corruption and gone
far toward making the four freedoms
a reality instead of lip service.
There's considerable evidence that
President Rhee of Southern Korea
is far from being as pure as a lily of
the valley.
Last winter, in debate on the Kor-
can aid bill, called attention to the
fact that Rhee's government had fail
ed to collect from Korean importers
about half of the ECA counterpart
funds as supposedly required. There
fore, did millions of dollars of ECA
benefit the people of
Korea or the importers of Korea?
And only a few weeks ago, the
US had to instruct Rhee to conduct
free elections. So how freedom-lov-
is Rhee and his govern
ment?

Scapegoat Escapes

When Northern Korea launched the
invasion, a number of observers
justifiably asked why the United
States was surprised, and questioned
the ability of the Central Intelligence
Agency, an organization which was
rapidly assuming the features of a
scapegoat.
Within a few hours, however, the
truth leaked out at a meeting of
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee: The invasion could hardly have
been a surprise to the Administra-
ton, because the Intelligence agency
months ago had warned President
Truman, Secretary of Defense John
son, Secretary of State Acheson and
other top advisers that the North
ern Koreans had modified on the
border, ready to go at a moments
notice, at least five divisions and
90 tanks, and that Southern Korea
had practically nothing to stop them.
American troops were pulled out
of Southern Korea a year ago, and
early this Spring the Administra-
ton admitted during debate on the
Korean Aid Bill that the area was
not defendable and that, further
more, the u. S. would not defend
Formosa.
Chairman Connally of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee
and one of the Administration
big-wheels declared on May S that
Korea was not absolutely neces-
sary to the defense of the Pacific.

France-The FutiIity of
Trying to Buy Goodwill

Almost buried under news con-
corning Korea comes evidence that
France, despite billions of Ameri-
can gift dollars, may be further lost
to Communism than the Administra-
TONS hand-out artists care to re-
veal.
Within the last few days, two
French Cabinets collapsed amid roars
of derisive laughter from Communists
in the National Assembly. They laugh
because the Communist Party has
1873 members in the Assembly or
II more than any other single party.
From the standpoint of the French
Communist party, possession of the
largest single majority, to be thrown
with or against the five or six other
major political parties, is a ire
powerful political weap-
on.
How did all these Reds get into
the National Assembly? They were
elected by the French people des-
pite at least a billion American
dollars poured into France since
mid-1945, exclusive of our past and
present donations of planes, arms
and ammunition to a value of many
more millions.

ment, said: "South Korea is more of
a liability than an asset to the in
terests and policy of the United
States. 1t is doubtful how long the
present regime in South Korea can
be kept alive, and mere effort to
keep it alive is a bad investment,
which continually draws attention to
band of little-and-lnferior Chang
kai-Sheks who. are the scorn of the
Communists and have lost the re-
spect of democratic and would-be
democratic groups and movements
throughout Asia"
baltimore concluded: "The United
States should disembarrass itself as
quickly as possible of it's entangle-
ments in South Korea"
On June 1, President Truman as
serted that the world is closer to
peace than at any time in the past
five years.
Is it any surprise, then, in the
face of all these open invitations,
that the invasion materialized?
In all seriousness, | wonder if
we might have more luck if, for
a change, we supported a non-ism
revolutionary government some
where instead of being caught in
the eyes of the world and history
with some of our present bedfel-
lows. After all, we were once a
revolutionary government our
selves.

clio INDUSTRIAL UNION
Conference IS
RE0RGANIzED

Reorganization of the Montana
State Industrial Union council (CIO)
was accomplished at meeting in
Helena, Sunday. Reorganization was
made necessary due to the fact that
the old councils officers were en-
tirely from Mine-Mill, now independ-
ent from CLIO.
Provisional officers chosen, are:
Pres. Sec'y. Sylvester Graham, Bill
lings, Yellowstone IUC; Vice. Pres,
L. E. Logan, Billings, Oil Workers;
board members: G. R. Porter, Helena,
Brewery Workers; William Mace,
Laurel, Oil Workers.; Charles w.
Gardner, Bonner, wood workers. The
provisional council will carry on I'M
der the old constitution until such
time as a constitutional convention
can be called, and request can
be made to CLIO for return of the
state councils charter.
Resolution adopted at Sundays
meeting include: Repeal of Taft

better housing, assistance to demo-
cratic trade unions overseas, workers

meaningless if the administration

otherwise supporting governments
which deny freedom to their own
people.
In the decision that has been made

al of this decisive action in no way
implies acceptance nor does it for a
single moment condone the long sue
cession of mistakes and vacillation
that must be charged to President
Truman and Acheson, his secretary
of state.
Coincident with the decision to go
to the aid of Korea, there should
have been demand by Truman for
the resignation of the fumbling Ach-
eson.

Throughout world war 2, as every
one knows, the US. government
preached to the world, including
Asia, the Atlantic charter and the
four freedoms. But what happened
when the war ended?
The administration:
1. provided the Dutch monarchy
with American war materials and I'M
iforms with the tell-tale initials, USA
stamped all over to aid in slaughter
of the natives of Indonesia who at
that stage certainly were not COM
munists but were struggling for their
own independence, along the lines of
the American revolution of 1776 and
the Atlantic charter;
2. handed over military supplies
and cash to the crooked regime of
Chang Kai-Shek;
3. helped the British seat an I'M
wanted king on the throne of Greece;
4. connived to pluck a playboy OIL
the Riviera and install him as pup
pet of the French in Indo-C China;
5. poured out American taxpayers
money to enable Britain to salvage |
what she could from a far-flung, dis
migrating empire;
6. spent millions of dollars in Italy
where only about 10000 individuals
own all the land;
T. gave 125 million dollars to Die
tator Peron of Argentina; and,
8. made potatoes available to Stall

Chamber Opposes
 Clans For 6ajt

E A resolution protesting the use of unprocessed Alaskan razor clans for bait in crab fishing in the states was a. dopted by the Chamber of Commerce Thursday.
 The resolution will be sent to the Territorial Bureau of Fisheries and a copy to Dele gate E. L. Bartlett, the cham Der decided.
 The resolution was present. ed to the chamber by John Hughes, at the request of Frank McConaghy of the Whiz Halferty Canneries Inc.
 It was explained that clans are taken from the Alaskan beaches and shipped to the states for use as bait in crab traps.
 'Such a pratice is unnecess- ary. There is a prepared bait for crab traps which is made from waste accumulated when clans are canned that is better than fresh clans, " Hughes pointed out.
 The canning of clans is one of the major industries in A. laska and using the food pro- duct for bait deprives Alaska of considerable revenue, the resolution stated.
 President Merrill Coon named V. G. Ellis to replace James Martz as chairman of the base town committee. Martz resigned the position two weeks ago.

 Bettinger did not say why the service might be cut but suggested that the Cof c write a letter of protest to Delegate Bartlett regarding the contemplated action. Gene Marian was named chairman of the committee to form plans for a farewell din- ner for Rear Adm. F. D. Wag- ner, Commandant 17th Naval District, who will leave Ko- ldiak around the first of June.

Special Census Forms Available

Kodiak fishermen who have no home addresses while they are out fishing, and no fami- lies who can give information for them, will be sure to be counted in the current federal census if they will fill out in diyidual census forms especi- ally available to them at the Union Hall.
 So that a complete report on the census of Kodiak may be obtained, the blanks are avail able for those who would otherwise be missed.
 Fishermen from outside who would otherwise be uncounted may also fill out the blanks a. vailable at the Union Hall. Their home addresses will be given, so they will not be counted as Kodiak residents.
 James D. Brown of Anchor age, district supervisor of the census, was in town this week to see how the count is getting along. He arrived Tuesday and was due to leave on last nights plane.
 Brown said the census should be completed by the end of May, and at that time, his office will release figures on the Kodiak count.
 From his office, only two figures will be available, Brown said, that for the in- corporated limits of the city, and that for the entire Kodiak recording district, which in- cludes the city, the Mission Rd area, the base, the island, and a small part of the penin- sula. No breakdown on any of these other areas will be re- leased by the territorial office. Brown reported fine coopera- tion in Kodiak with counter Mrs. Henry Neseth.
