THAT IS THE THANKS THEY GET

The raising of postage rates on newspapers and magazines suggested this comment by the Whitevlle (N.CD News Reporter:
 q" But if any subsidizing is being done, it is being done by the newspapers and magazines, rather than by the government Who is it that gives free advertising to the Marine, Army and Air Force, Navy and what -have-you recruiting services? Who is it that gives free space to the post office about mailing early at Christmas? Who is it that gives column after column to government agencies to pro- mote this or that cause? Who is it that donates free space the promotion of Defense Bonds sales?
 Tt would be poetic justice if the newspapers would charge governmental agencies for this space which has been donated so generously and thus equalize the burden which the President proposes. But they won't do it. The public interest IS far more important than any revenge which might be obtained through striking back at faulty thinking. Anc after all it will be the public that will be hurt if rates increased"

We would like to make small wager that II plans are in the making to send 100000 Europeans to new homes, Alaska is being considered seriously for settlement by refugees It has been in the past and for settlement numbers from 10000 to 100000
 On paper, the Territory with its great area and small population would seem natural for settlement purposes.
 would make it difficult to absorb great numbers of refugees And no matter how kind hearts, how friendly might feel toward the homeless of Europe until more industries have been established in Alaska and more jobs are available, it will be better to discourage any mass settlement of the north

WILL U. N. TRY TO PROMOTE
 IMMIGRATION?

The United Nations organization, which, with US many qualifications tackles about every Job Tn the world is interested in plans to promote the mmlgra- ton of 100000 Europeans to overseas countries.
 At the recent meeting in Naples, Italy, delegates from tventy-seven nations including this country discussed plans for coping with surplus population and nanpower problems. The group organized by the International Labor Office is concerned mainly With raising working and living standards throughout the world.
 Everybody recognizes the problems that face over pouulated countries but not everybody in the world believes that every populated country has the obgation of accepting additional immigration Those countries which desire additional immigrants can cer- tainly take steps them-but what about the United States where immigration is restricted by law?
 The question arises to whether the United States in accordance with it's membership Tn the United Nations would be bound to accept deermlna- ton of that organization and open its doors to the immiprants that the LIN thinks it should receive. This is not so far-fetched it may sound, because already in a California case the court has decided that treaty obligation, made through the onteo Nations is superior to the laws Of this country.

But what the U. s. general staff had in mind was military strategy and winning the war more quickly So they ruled out the long transportation haul through the Mediterranean to the Balkans, vot- ed with Stalin for the shorter, quick CT jab at Germany via England. Militarily they were right. Shortly
 thereafter the war was won. But the cold war, which Churchill foresaw, has been dragging .on ever since.

ono Tapping round his half-naked torso, keeping Harry Hopkins up until 3 ann, and finally pushing British policy across on the reluc- tant Roosevelt in various parts Of the world.
 Today, American policies have largely become British policies-in Greece, Turkey, western Europe, Japan and China. But in those days, British policies usually became Am erican policies, thanks to the tlre- less, persuasive, masterful man in the red and gold kimono, who would rot sleep until he had persuaded U. s. leaders to yield.
 A lot of memories come croWding back to the diplomats who attend cd those meetings, vivid memories of a vivid personality who domin- ated whatever meeting he attended and usually shaped the world the way he wanted it. Here are some Of them:
 Churchill at Casablanca = Here Winston put across two things: the Italian campaign through the soft underbelly of the axis" which dld not prove to be soft, which many U. s. strategists felt was a mistake' second a pledge from FDR that the Mecii terranean Theatre would be British dominated. This meant American communications even be- tween our own personnel had to De sent over British radio; that all transportation was okayed by the British. that all political decisions were British, that a British general superseded Gen. Mark Clark in Italy. It also meant-after the war that the U.S.A. suplied the tanks, the lend-lease, the UNRRA supplies in Greece, while Churchill fixed policy.
 Churchill on Greece-Shortsighted Churchillian policy in Greece can best be summarized in his own words, a telegram Churchill sent to Gen. Ronald M. Scobie, British commander in Athens: Do not he's itate to act as if you were in a conquered city. You should not hesitate to open fire on any armed male in the Greek capital who as- sails the authority of the British. Keep and dominate Athens" .. British highhandedness in Greece. taken without consulting the U. s. A., finally forced London to dump the entire problem in our lap. We have been both paying the bill and fixing policy since. Before, we mere- ly paid the bill
 British in Egypt-The one-sided results of the Churchill-FDR polit- ical deal for the Mediterranean were inadvertently summarized by U. s. near eastern commander, Gen. Benny Giles, at press con- ference in Cairo. ."Gentlemen, he said, T have noticed that you have been writing political news. You are war correspondents. You are part of the U. s. Army and you will write nothing critical of Brit ish policy in the middle east"
 Churchill on China-Meeting With Chiang kai-Shek and FDR in Cairo
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-11-02

in l943, Churchill flatly opposed an allied campaign over Burma road. This was what Chiang wanted most. But Churchill, vetoing it, ar gued for campaign to retake Brit aims old possessions-Si Singapore and the Maylays. 1. At this Chiang start ed to pack up, threatened to go home. To assuage him, FDR pro- posed the British give up Hong Kong, making it an international port under the United Nations. Churchills reply: T did not become Prime Minister to liquidate the British Empire" .Chiang return ed to China empty handed, and 1t was this failure to get political sup port-not pro-Communist advice by George Marshall which really started the downfall of the National ists.
 Churchill at Ottawa-One of the constant battles between the U. $. military and Churchill all during the war was the far east. General Marshall, then chief of staff, wanted real support for Chiang, not make believe warfare. At Ottawa he was so impatient that there was almost an open break with British chief of staff Sir Alan Brooke. It was after this row that Churchill proposed Marshall take over the European allied command. This would get him out of Washington where he had the power to allocate troops to either theatre; put him in Europe where he would become ab- sorLed with European problems. At ottawa, Churchill put likable, handsome Lord Mountbatten, cou- sin of King George, in command in Burma India. But the British remained in control and no serious large-scale campaign ever got start ed. The critics who now damn Marshall for Communism in China forget his consistent urging of aid to Chiang. The British, who re- fused even the political sop of Hong Kong, thus encouraging Commun- ism, later have wanted to recognize Communist China, and have used Hong Kong to ship supplies to the Communists.
 Churchill on Second Front-Wis- est policy Churchill ever argued during the war years was at Teher- an-.regarding the second front. However, he was a couple of years late. Early in 1942, U. S. military leaders actually started planning a ross-channel operation from Eng land into France. But Churchill sidetracked it to the so-called un- derbelly of the axis, which turned into long, drawn-out months of fighting. At Casablanca. the End front came up again. Churchill de- creed. T will not squander the seed of the British Empire" {. Having in mind the inevitable loss of British youth, Churchill then laid down a flat ultimatum that in any cross-channel operation, Brit ain would supply 25 percent of the troops, the United States 75 per- cent. This stopped U. s. military planners cold. At that time-the spring of 1943-they did not have the required troops in England. They had been sent to North Af- rica and the soft underbelly."
 Six months later, at Teheran, Churchill argued for a continued 2nd front through the soft under

Wdge-Hour Adm.
Issues New Wage
Order for Virgin Isles

On November 26, 1851, high
er minimum wage rates will
go into effect for employees in
certain industries in the Vir-
gin Islands, it was announced
today by VIM. R. McComb,
Administrator Of the us. La
Dor Departments Wage and
Hour and Public Contracts
Divisions.
Issuing a new wage order
for Island industries, McComb
took action under the Fair
Labor Standards Act, which
authorizes the setting of mini
mum wage rates for the Virgin
Islands at or below the 10
cents-an-hour minimum appll-
cable on the mainland.
Increases in the present mini
mum wage rates in some OF
the more important Island IN
dustries are generally between
5 and 10 cents an hour.
McComb informed Secretary
Of Labor Maurice ]. Tobin that
he had received no objections
to his proposal, announced on
September 20, to issue this
wage order. Time had been
given interested parties to sub
nit exceptions.
AS the Federal Wage-Hour
Law requires, the new rates

Mr.. Skeoch said he has not
had the chance to get his feet

he thought it was necessary
tor him to throw open the
doors to the press and that he
would reply to any question;
although he may not have the
answer to everything as yet
but he will do his best feeling
1t was only fair to make
a statement for the informa-

assumed his office, is very
happy about it, and hopes that
it continues.
Problem of Job Seekers
There are many problems
facing him, he said, but one
which has caused concern and
the pressure seems to be in
creasing is that many persons
would come to the office, meet
MN on the streets or come to
his home seeking jobs. Each
has astory of need and hard
ship to tell; many claim that
they had been working and
were laid off; they want some
thing done about it.
Mr.. Skeoch said that the man
agement has a definite method Of
accomplishing the work of the
corporation. For example during
the crop personnel requirements
are very much higher than dur
ing the fall; right after the cron IS
ended the boilers have to be gone
through, completely cleaned and
repaired but there comes a time
when that work is completed. The
men who work in the CROP are al
ways given preference for this
work. Where possible men are
used IN other departments but
there definitely comes a time
when there is nothing more for
them to do. Under such conditions
heads of DEPARTMENTS cannot keen
them thus creating a heavy over

All were officers of the British Army except Mir Fisher, and imms diately retraced their steps back to rally around the King, leaving Charlie Fisher to push on to Circl e City alone, and breaking up what must certainly have been the most picturesque of all the parties of prospect ors." In Tacoma, Washington, the mayor and the chief of police both quit to head for the gold fields.

On touching land, he jumped out, picked up a handful of sand, looked at it moment, then said, II knew it was all a lie" and immediately returned to the boat to sail home.
 Needless to say, the sound development of Alaska had to bide it's time, until this comic, and often tragic, spectacle came to an end.
 For what Alaska needed most of all, was not more gold rushes, nor even more population, but, of all things, common, ordinary coal.
