Parrmaking in Alaska Secretary J. A. Krug reports that several concerns are in terested in the manufacture of pulp and paper from government owned timber in Alaska. This is welcome news, especially if the interest thus shown bears fruit in actual development. For the Pacific coast is the worst part of the country as far as lack of sufficient newsprint is concerned; and there is no prospect of much additional expansion of production except in Alaska. Recently this newspaper was told its quotas for 1947 and 148. We ll get just a little more in 194? than in 1946. For 1948 an increase of about ten per cent over 1947 is promised and that will be about the top as far as our present suppliers, the largest manufacturers on this coast, can foresee. They, the Crown Willamette Paper co., are not planning new construction for newsprint manufacturing there is longer profit in maga zine Mock and in paper specialties. Southeast Alaska has an abundance of good timber for pulp, and doubtless ample water and power can be obtained. Present construction costs, however, must make private capital hesitate to make the venture calling for an investment of from 10 to 30 million dollars. Operating costs as far as labor and supplies go would be greater, and there would be added cost of frerit to the "outside." However, the demand for news print promises to continue strong for many years, and the price Is now 68 per cent higher than prewar, so concerns may be willing to take the risk. Publishers of big papers are said to be among those who have been interested in the Alaska possibility. They doubtless feel driven to go on their own to insure them selves of more newsprint. EWfore the war imports from Scandanavian countries were quite a factor. Indeed they helped depress the domestic price. Now the world price is higher than the American price. Also lack of coal prevents mills in Sweden and Finland from attaining prewar rates of production. Russia also will get large quantities of their pulp and paper, so little may be expected by American publishers. Canada remains the big supplier for the United States, furnishing us with about 80 per cent of our total requirements. There has been substantial increase in production there, but thi has gone chiefly to papers in eastern and. central United State The far west waits on Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Dec 17 Be hind the printed rumors that Mr. Byrnes might resign as state sec retary (he denied them officially) is the feeling in some quite lofty i" 1 j 11 n quarters that his fy " ; I accomplishments tin New York left 'some large va leant holes which (are not invisible. S The entire (Byrnes agree f ment plan is Judged in these ijquarters to have 'turned into what might be a tas king game. It is on a possiDiy iaii Paul Halloa i n g basis, they say. A peace deal with Russia, to be successful, must be on a mutually genuine basis which would open up Russia as much as Russia has opened us. The Byrnes program falls short of that objective. It opens , all the out side world to Russia, but does not open Russia to the world. Russia may fix standards for us and for the world, but the world can fix no standards for Russia. Communism may penetrate the entire world, but the world is hot to penetrate communism. The validdity of this feeling can best be understood in the action on disarmament in which case Mr. Byrnes is not entirely defenseless; indeed the republi cans are equally if not more di rectly responsible as Chairman Austin is republican. Urres Ceuncil Action If you will read the disarma ment program of the general as sembly of all the nations you will see it "recommends that the se curity council give prompt con sideration" . . that it "urges ex peditious fulfillment" . . . that it recommends! the council "expedite consideration" and so on, in connection with every single point excepting oij. The program ob viously them is but a spur to the council of feig five and selected smaller nations, and action must come from them including Rus sia, in the future. Now the j assembly laid down these following suggestions: That the council try to regulate and reduce arms through multi lateral (many nations) treaties. This hardly suggests disarmament around the corner, but is rather By Licttty "It's Janior, dear ... heme frau college for the holidays!

Under the new law the committeemen are elected in November and the party organization is set up after that. The Marion county republican committee will meet to organize on December 21st. In t'larkamat countv republicans met last week and scold ed over the new law. They want party elections moved back to the spring primaries The argument fnr the change was that urder the former plan rrumittee executives were changed just before Important elation campaigns, and the new heads might be pretty green at the business. Another argument might be advanced that holdover com mi'tee chairman might not be friendly to the nominees whom thv wouki be called on to help elect, and reorganization just after the primaries avoids this. Objecting to the chanee are the county clerks and election board because while names of candidates for precinct offices can be uvcLided in the party ballot in the primaries separate ballots are required when the election comes in November. This msn! a )t of extra work and expense. The question is something for the legislature to decide after lwtet.ing to election officials and representatives of po litical parties Our opinion is that the change creates more tro ibh? than it is worth FirM Citizen CheMer A. Moore who has jlist been named first citizen of Portland for 1944 is a product of old Salem. He was the son of Mr and Mrs. Charles B. Moores, long prominent residents of this city. Locating m Portland after graduating from the Uni versity of Oregon Chester was a reporter on the Oregonian. and then served as secretary to Gov. James Withycombe in 1917-19. For many years he has been engaged in the real estate businei in Portland, and is executive vice president of Com monwealth, inc. a leading firm in the real estate and property management field. Moores has had many honors and civic duties m his city and state, so the award of title of "first citizen" is well earned. His old home town joins in congratulating him on attaining one honor which doesn't carry with it a lot of added respon sibility. s FOUR-FIFTHS OF PEOPLE EAT BAD runs a headline in the Corvallis G-T. Where does it grow and how much does it cost'' And how do you cook it? I believes he can penetrate into the isolation of Russia and ascertain her home armies. Russia does not think so. obviously and in the end this matter will b up to the security council upon which Rus sia wields her greatest world power. Generasity Not Balanced Thus instead of Russia com ing forward genuinely, or with equal generosity (no more,) she has secured adoption of a resolu tion which she could us to ex tend her revolution throughout the world. But she has contrived a larger hole even than any of these. If the atomic bomb is prohibited im mediately arid . the disarmament is thrown into future negotiations of the security council as the program specifies the United States will be disarmed of its su perior weapon before anyone else disarms, if ever. This action by the atomic commission before ac tion by the secruity council on general disarmament would react solely to the critical disadvantage of the United States. Thus future actions will determine: the .basic value of the agreements. Failed ta Meatian Christmas .It is only natural then that Mototov said the New York prog ress steps "are as satisfactory to the Soviet delegation as they are to other delegations." To what use he might put his opportunities for advantage, he indicated by furnishing the largest vacant spot of all in his farewell message to the United States. The translator said he wished us a good new year, thus skipping Christmas en tirely, as a good atheist would. It was quite; significant he said nothing about Christmas whatso ever, although the next holiday is that coming day, while the new year will not; come until later.
