EXCELLENT CHOICE
NO. 70

TIE SELECTION of former Governor Morris F. de
Castro as general chairman of the Fortieth Anniversary COM
mittee is one of the best steps taken by. Governor Gordon.
At last one sees a gHmmer of light seeping through the
dense political fog which hides everything but political re-
cogniton along strictly party lines. &
FEW CELEBRATIONS or events should be more i'm
portant to these Islands than the Transfer which puts us
under Old Glory. 1t would have been clumsy, indeed, if
some other nation had acquired these Islands instead of the
United States. And this might have been possible despite
the Monroe Doctrine, which is where the clumsness would
have arisen. But things are different, thank goodness.
NOTHING UGH to be spared in making this ami
versary celebration in these Islands big and wonderful.
Since March 81, falls on Monday, the opportunity for a long
weekend could be used to greatest advantage, which means
that important officials and visitors could well use part of
their travel time without too much sacrifice to their other
duties.
FORTUNATE ENOUGH, the man who heads the cele-
bration committee knows these Islands as few other men
do. He has worked himself to the highest office in the land,
and it is to his credit that much progress was made during
his administration. But for purposes of the celebrations, he
could plan first-hand, having been in the thick of things for
many, many years.
NEEDLESS TO say that work will be done on every
possible level, and every group, official and otherwise VIII
be called upon to make their contribution in time, effort,
ideas, and money.

The idea Of any Senators
going on foreign mission and
remaining aloof and inarticu-
late. so that those diplomats
doing the negotiating of a
treaty do not know whether
or not the Senators present
will approve or disapprove
when they go back home to
vote. will be regarded as a
piece of political chicanery
that does not reflect a whole
hearted desire to cooperate.
There was nothing in the
Constitution which prevented
the late Senator Arthur Van
denberg. Republican, from
helping the administration Of
President Truman, Democrat.
to negotiate the United Ma
tons Charter Treaty at San
Francisco. So there is nothing
in the Constitution today
which prevents a Democratic
Senator from helping to nego-
tiate q treaty for President
Eisenhower. Republican. It's
only necessary that the Sena-.
tors concerned should not re-
ceive any pay from the 'ex-
ecutive branch Of the Govern
ment for such services, and
then they will be conforming
to all constitutional require
ments.

It merely helped him to put

the British that the denuncia-

cease-fire is a must for the
Korean republic and the rest
OF the free world.
It is reported that DR.. Yang

an indefinite time and watch

some suicidal action" in order
to ward OF the increasing
threat from the Reds poised
north Of the 38th Parallel.
Whether DR.. Yang has ac-
tually spelled out what the
suicidal action might be is
his own secret. But it does
not take much imagination :
even for conventional diplo-
mats to realize the meaning
OF these words. Moreover,
President Rhee had defined
them in his frequent notes to
the U. N. governments which
participated in the defense Of
Korea. These notes filed away
in the foreign Offices Of the

statements that the Korean

The paradox Of the hour is
the way the Russians profess
to be advocating "disarma-
ment" at London at the very
time that Moscow and Peiping
are making military moves Of
q threatening nature aimed
at the West.
The news dispatches have
an ominous sound and the
latest "communique" on the
cold war" reads as follows:
/. Egypt has been furnished
three Soviet submarines to
help patrol the Mediterranean
and keep a watchful eye on
the United States 9Th Fleet.
Israel thinks the move may be
directed at her shipping and
is preparing eountermeasures.
2. A Soviet cruiser and two
escort vessels have just passed
through the Turkish Straits to
the Mediterranean, and sew
eral more cruisers and de-
stroyers of the Soviet navy are
scheduled to pass through the
same waterway soon.
8. The Russian navy has
turned Albania into an armed
camp, posing q threat to allied
strategy in the Mediterranean.
Submarine bases. according to
United Press reports. have
been built less than so miles
from the italian shore. and a
large naval base in Albania
has been fortified and en-.
larged." A network Of five
airfields capable of handling
Jet planes has been estab-
lished.

mand in Korea has at last
