 Fried lander spent ton days in the Territory visiti ng OPS offices and conferring wi tn merchant groups. He expressed grati fl cat ion at the CO., operati on of Alaska IS bus mess men and indicated the control program was going ahead sat1 fact orily in the orritory.
 Fried1ander stressed the gravity of the world situation which has necessitated many controls. Speak, ing of the price-c ontrol setup, he warned that the full impact of do- fense spendi ng has not yet boon felt and probably will not unti this fall or winter.
 There is sti Il ample supply of most civi Han goods ;" Friedlander said, "but in another six months or so the diverting of raw materials to QG1 olSo prOQuc UlO on may cause curtai hnent in one lines of goods. This may cause temporary shortagos.' Eo added, however, that wi tn many plants exponding the tirne will GOT come when wo will bo able to pro- duce war materials at the same t inc VIC produce amplo supplies of civil ian goods.
 "War Mobtlizer Charles Wilson has estimated 1t will take about two years to put the nation on a ound do1onse footing. By that time we should be producin ng enough civi Han goods to supply everyone. Wo should not look for the eliminati on of con trols unti that time.h

Investigate OPS?

While Congress is investigating sub
versives, ETC., the Office of Price Stabili-
cation certainly should be included on
its list. This agency has just come up
with prize winning regulation which
will do much to retard the defense effort
and pave the way to socialism.
The machine tool industry is recog-
nized as the worst bottleneck of the de-
Tense effort. OPS has previously issued
two unavoidable price regulations and
now has come up with third. Under
this order. machine tool makers are per-
mitted to price their goods either in
such fashion that they may realize 500
OF their return on investment during the
period from 1888 to 1948, or to realize
costs plus 5l2%o profit. A 500 ex-
pansion of the machine tool industry
is required to make the tools required
for the defense program.
Can any one seriously believe that the
machine tool makers are going to rush
to put up their hard cash to expand
when their maximum profit is restricted
to 52%? Second-grade bonds and
mortgages are available which pay more
than that rate of return with much less
chance of losses It looks as though the
OPS was more interested in placing in
dustry on a production for use basis
than in promoting the defense effort.

regarding the one-sideness of The Star
concerning matters of public interest
and the letters attempt to present Sem
ator Moody as guilty of laxity on his
job as Senator and as a disguised
Socialist.
There is no need to defend your ex-
cellent paper. because the record speaks
for itself, but 1 wish to raise my voice
Of protest when efforts of intelligent
and able people like Senator Moody are
derided and contemptuously criticized,
not with sound and well-baSed argu-
ments but with the uncalled-for smear
and innuendo. 1t is certainly preposter-
Gus to call Senator a part-tim worker
just because he goes to the trouble Of
publishing an article once a week.
I think Senator Moody deserves high
praise and commentator for bringing
issues of national interest to the at
tention of the people, and regardless of
whether his views are Democratic or
Republican his efforts should be en-
couraged and applauded instead of crit
icized.

Free Men of Switzerland

Celebrating $50 years of independence this
summer, the citizens of Switzerland know that
they are not exempt from the threat to freedom
that shadows the whole world. Voltaire found
them "a grave people" Their attitude toward
life is serious, Perhaps it is because of the
mountainous character of their country that
they especially earnest in their manner and
bearing Whatever the explanation it is char
acteristic of the Swiss that they are not given
to evity-and they still possess the liberty their
forefathers of Uri Schwyz and Unterwalden met
at Ruth to affirm in 1891.
The observance of the anniversary this year
furnishes an appropriate occasion for remem-
brance of the fact that Switzerland is a union
of four strikingly different human stocks.
Alemanni in the north, Burgundians in the west,
Ostrogoths in the south were separate and dis
tinct communities before 500 BIC. Their de-
scendants-plus those of remnants of the very
ancient Rhaeti and some FrankS-realzed their
identity of danger and Joined forces against
German emperors, Austrian princes, French
kings and many other potential or actual in
truders. First they made peace among them
selves in the common interest of survival Next
they developed natural talent for arms. BY

Hundreds of neighbors came, and the
household goods moved out.
The son gave the money that evening
to Grandfather Jones for safekeeping,
and took his whole family to a friends
home. Tomorrow they were all to leave
for the East.
Night came, and with it skulking fig

M1screants, knowing that money was
in the house, had taken advantage of
the easy ways of that pioneer commu-
nifty, where every house was left un-
locked.
If the new Congressman had not pur-
chased the railroad tickets for the whole
family well in advance, he probably
would have had to borrow the money.
When Grandfather Jones came out of
his grogginess the first thing he did was
to look around the room and say, "Old
Man Smith told me-"

A Patch Of Paradise in the PYenees
By John M. Kouffmonn

A NDORRA LA VELLA (By MaiD -
\ Here, high in the Pyrenees on the
border of France and Spain, lies Europe's
Shangri-la, a gem of sunlight, crag and
waterfall which obscures the dour hozi-
ION of taxes and imitation.
Ancient, independent Andorra, IA
miles square, is as yet known to few out
Siders.
The narrow road from France seems
to Writhe through perpetual swirl of
fog past deep abysSes. Sunlight finally
breaks through at 5000 feet. The motor
list rests his boiling engine and his frayed
nerves to gaze on one of Europe's most
dazzling views the Andorran Valley.
1t is a wild valley but picturesque
one, where, Andorrans say it seldom
rains. Mountain torrents roar over the
rocks, and irrigation systems terrace the
steep slopes with tiny emerald hay fields
and golden patches of grain. Above
stand the crags bejeweled with wildfiow-
ers and in the distance the snow.
Spanish in flavor Andorran towns
have that universal mountain look
Houses rude and sturdy are tucked be-
tween cliffs like roots growing from rock
crannies. Some of the buildings date
from the times when the Moors ruled
Spain,< and Andorra is still medieval
state. Though Parliament of "a repre-
sents the country's 5000 inhabitants

of France. successor to the Kings and to
the Counts of Folk.
Independent in all ways save some
administrative help from France and
Spain. Andorra is run like a private
club. There are no income or excise
taxes, only real estate and business
levies that vary like club assessments
whenever public works project de-
mands extra money. Postage stamps
are gilt-edged bonds in this stamp

collectors.

There was nothing much to do there,

A Chink of Light in the Dark

1t is interesting if not significant that the
Kremlin-Whose reply received instantaneous
publication throughout our own country
waited full month before telling the Russian
people about President Trumans letter and the
joint congressional resolution on the desire of
the United States to live in peace and friend
ship with all nations From the propaganda
standpoint, the delay suggests that in this
particular test of wits the Soviet leaders may
have been temporarily flustered and placed on
the defensive.
At any rate, the fact that they took so long
to make public the letter and resolution indicates
that the men of the Kremlin felt that they had
to be particularly careful in timing the release
of the texts and preparing answering statements
of their own for simultaneous publication It
is not unlikely that they would have preferred
to keep the matter a secret but they could not
entirely drown out the Voice of America" and
other foreign broadcasts that made a special
point of hammering away at the Iron Curtain
with the peaceful and friendly sentiments ex-
pressed by the President and Congress.
In all probability, the substance o. those
broadcasts got through to many ears and was
spread by word of mouth to ever-increasing
numbers of Russians. Given such circumstances,
it is not hard to understand why the Soviet
leaders, for the sake of their domestic counter
PAOPdSd4lOd, 11IldlIy uCClutQ 10 leG everything
out and to try to blunt its possible effect with
their own version of the situation. Further
they had to take into consideration the fact
that they could not remain silent on the subject
without seeming to the world at large to be
afraid to respond to the American challenge
afraid to tell the masses under their control
that the United States had taken formal official
action to emphasize its devotion to peace and
its friendship for the Russians and all other
peoples
1t may we'll be, of course, that this develop
ment will accomplish little or nothing OF en-
during value in terms of reaching the mass
Russian mind with the truth about the free
world. Yet the fact remains that the Truman
letter and the congressional resolution, coupled
with the recent exchange of views between
Pravda and British Foreign Secretary Herbert
Morrison have had the effect of letting in
chink of light behind the Iron Curtain-a chink
that seems to have been Illuminating enough to
have thrown the Kremlin's propagandists nc
mentarily off balance and caused them to take
great pains in dealing with it.
Although it would be an exaggeration to
describe all this as great propaganda victory
for the free world, there is some reason to
believe that the chink of light, since it could
not be extinguished, has placed the Soviet dc
tatorship at least a little bit on the defensive
Our side should make the most of the situation
by sparing no effort to develop systematic and
continuing offensive Tx this war for mems minds.

Mellett Can't Kid Him

Lowell Mellett asks Whats become
OF the American way of life?" A pro-
fesSional bleeding heart, he tells the
story OF the FBI checking up on refer
ences given by a girl seeking Govern
ment job. He weeps over this invasion
OF privacy and then reports that in the
good old days our business was our
business and we did not have Govern
ment shoppers.
This is the same Lowell Mellett who
has been beating the drums for Gov
eminent interference in our private
lives for the past Is years. He was a.
paid propaganda for the New Deal,
which sought economic changes with
out thinking in terms of social con-
sequences and the cost to personal
liberties. It's kind Of late for Mr.. Mel
lett to be crying over lost personal
liberties now
Mr.. Mellett believes in Government
controls of installment credit, for ex-
ample. He believes that, if I want to
buy $1,000 worth of furniture today on
the inStallment plan should pay down
at least $3.50 because the Government
says SO. and that if pay less the retailer
and I should go to jail What would
have been strictly private transaction
between me and my retailer, who has
known me for 90 years, now becomes a
Government affair.
If. for any reason, am unable to
make one monthly payment on time, I
must report to the retailer in person
and state in writing the reason why I
can't make the payment. just like a
parOled convict NV DriVate trouh1es
become matter of public record
I could cite many other Illustrations
showing how Mr.. Mellett believes in
Government controls that deprive us of
personal liberties. Mr. Mellett ought to
come clean. He does not believe in per-
sonal liberties. He believes in Big Gov
eminent, with controls and police and
punishments. Who does he think he is
kidding. anyhow?
