sia offers long-range opposition to
America’s desire for peace,
through her International.
This is the answer: Communism
is antagonistic to almost every ba
sic principle in the American way
of life. It is opposed to religion, to
the sacredness of marriage, to pri
vate ownership of property, to
freedom of the individual, to free
dom of the press and of speech.
The Russians deny that we can be
their good neighbors. They fear a
demonstration of the superiority of
the American way—a brand of de
mocracy that does not need to call
up an International to protect it
self.
Bez Will Explore
South Pacific
SEATTLE, (jP) — Two Pacific
Exploration Co. motor trawlers,
the Oregon and Alaska, will ex
plore the south Pacific in search
of new tuna fishing grounds.
Besides their normal crews, the
boats will carry experts from the
United States fish and wildlife
service who will report on their
findings and the reconstruction fi
nance corporation will aid in fi
nancing the trip.
The Oregon, with a crew of 12,
has already left for Hawaii under
command of Capt. John Mershon,
and the Alaska, under Capt. Nick
Bragich, will leave in a few days.
One will be equipped for bait, line
and jig fishing and the other with
seine gear.
Discovery of profitable tuna
grounds would permit the entire
west coast fishing industry to
benefit, Nick Bez, company presi
dent, said.
Wallace Injects
Foreign Policy
Into Campaign
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Henry A.
Wallace catapulted foreign policy
into the Presidential campaign
yesterday by embarking on the
first serious third party effort
since 1924 amid Democratic jee’s
and fears and Republican cheers.
Wallace’s announcement that he
will run for President as an inde
pendent candidate next year pro
pelled American relations with
Russia into the race as an issue.
It apparently shook the political
structure of the party he served as
vice president and possibly re
shaped the die from which the Re
publican nominee will emerge.
Politicians are almost unani
mous in their judgment that Wal
lace has an evpn smaller chance
of election than the late Robert M.
LaFollette, Sr., who carried only
his home state of Wisconsin under
the Progressive banner in 1924.
LaFollette polled 4,822,000 votes,
more than many observers think
Wallace will get despite a vast in
crease in the electorate.
I But the same politicians agree
that Wallace’s attack in his Chi
cago radio speech Monday night
| on what he called the “bipartisan
j reactionary war policy” will re
quire answering by the two major
party candidates during the cam
paign.
Wallace said that policy “is di
viding the world into two# armed
camps and making inevitable the
day when American soldiers will
be lying in their Arctic suits in the
Russian snow.”

Xmas Activities
At Solomon j
—
Solomon, Alaska. I
A merry, peaceful Christmas
was enjoyed by thirteen families
at a little windy village of Solo
mon, Alaska over thirty miles off
Nome. A pastor, Milton Adams,:
and Village Council made it pos
sible for every one enjoy every!
day of the week. We didn’t have
no school this year, the school is1
close. And so, Santa get here, any j
way, even no school. Santa prom
ised to return next year and (
wished that we stay good until he
comes again.
The Sunday School children1
gave a nice cheerful Christmas
Eve program, Christ birth, came
in ringing with joy to see such j
nice Sunday School children and
gave each one of them a package 1
of goodies from our’s Covenant,
people. Teacher Maggie Curren
Solomon choirs ended the program
leaving all faces lit for the Christ
man Day. Christmas gifts piled
around the brightly decorated tree
were distributed to the happy
children.
There were carols sung early
morning by a happy group of
young people on Christmas morn
ing. At seven o’clock about one
third of 70 people got up to wor
ship the Prince of Peace. Again at
ten o’clock a.m. every soul aljle to
walk was called to worship.
Hymns of great joy and the gospel
according to second chapter of St.
Luke were renewed. The choir
voices sang “Tidings of Great
Joy” and peace on earth. The
voices blended in the new Coven
ant Church so well we would not
have hesitated to sing rest of the
world at Christmas. Two fine old
women about 60 or 70 year old
gave us a good parts, Glory to God
in the Highest. Listeners said they
ended too soon. Pastor and Sun
day School teacher also sang with
string band, after transl a t e d
Christmas songs.
When the service ended the peo
ple spend few minutes greeting
and wishing each other Merry
Christmas and rushed to their
homes to prepare themselves for
the feast to come at four o’clock.
Big feast was given to everyone
able to eat. Everybody invited. Ev
ery family brought something pre
pared to eat and shared it with
the other folks. The feast con
sisted of reindeer, berries prepared
to suit an Eskimo’s taste, pre
served fish and meat and white
man’s food, such as fruits, cakes,
bread, butter, sugar, tea and cof
fee came in just right. Best part
is Eskimo ice cream. Everybody
had plenty to eat and left over,
and evening service was held at
seven o’clock.
Gifts for every soul in Solomon
were given out right after the
service. We are wishing to serv
ices every evening up to New Year
Eve.
Now let me wish you a blessed
Christmas season and a good New
Year. May our .wonderful Savior
who came nineteen centuries ago
guide you and your loved ones, as
well as all of our people in Alas
ka, according to His own perfect
will.
