“VOICE OF AMERICA”
The “jamming” of Voice of America programs by the
Soviet Union has confirmed the belief that the broad
casts are reaching a large percentage of the Russian
population and are having a disturbing impact on the
Kremlin, according to Mucio Delgado, special assistant
to the chief of the International Broadcasting Division
of the State Department.
“WITCH HUNTINGS”
George S. Kennan, counsellor of the State Dept.,
warns that “witch-huntings” of Communists in this
country have dimmed considerably our understanding
of the Russian people—a people that is “saturated”
with liberal and moral concepts that “must some day”
assert themselves and lead to the collapse of the present
Soviet regime.
3 NAVIES OPERATE TOGETHER
Almost unnoticed in the news of the day, a tri-nation- j
al fleet has completed manoeuvers recently in the At
lantic Ocean.
The ships of the Dutch, French and British navies,
under the command of the Dutch Vice-Admiral W. L.
. Willinge, ended their three-day cruise as a homogenous
Atlantic Treaty task force. The ships practiced con
stantly on the varied manoeuvers necessary in sea war
fare and worked out some of the problems involved in
the cooperation of multi-national and multi-lingual
fleets.
While the cooperative effort included only the ships
three countries in Europe, one should not overlook the
significance of this beginning. Eventually, it may be
possible for the navies, as well as the other armed forces
of all free countries to wark to gether in the cause of
maintaining peace and securing their common liberty.
OIL AND WAR
On one occasion, during the recent war, there was not
plough fuel oil in the New York area to fill the bunkers
of the battleship Missouri, according to a statement re- j
cently made by Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, at*
San Francisco.
Deploring the lack of oil storage facilities around the
world, the chief architect of our victory over Japan j
said that this might explain “our interest in Middle East I
oil.” Moreover, he pointed out that we are using oil to
day at a faster rate than we did during the war and that
if a conflict should begin, he doesn’t believe there is |
enough oil in the Western Hemisphere to meet our
needs.
The Admiral revealed that only one storage in the
world meets the needs of the Navy. This is the under
ground storage on the island of Oahu, which has a cap
acity of six million barrels of fuel oil.
WHO IS TO PAY?
The world Health Organization of the United Nations
has restricted its budget to $7,300,000, but does not ex
pect to get more than $6,300,000 from the governments
during the year 1951.
It is pointed out that the great killing diseases of man
kind can be eradicated. Moreover, projects for long
range economic development of the world requires that
they be eliminated if this goal is to be obtained. Never
theless, governments and legislatures throughout the
world show some reluctance to appropriate money for
the fight for health.
The United States, it should be noted, is expected to
contribute thirty-five per cent of the total budget. This
is a relatively small amount in comparison with the
sums available to the American government. Neverthe
less, the principle behind the appropriation recognizes
disease as the common enemy of mankind and its eradi
cation as the common duty of all nations.

Cab Owners Association plus
twelve other individuals and cab
firms.
At Washington McGrath made
clear more indictments are to
come as a result of investigation
into what he described as “collu
sive arrangements among business
groups which have obstructed de
velopment and expansion of ter
ritory.”
In a statement, the Justice De
partment said Alaska Steamship
“virtually controls the economy of
Alaska, since it is the only steam
ship company serving the entire
Territory.” McGrath said he is
also filing a civil anti-trust suit
against steamship company at
Anchorage, asking injunction
against practices he said substan
tially excluded all competition.
An alleged conspiracy to fix
liquor prices throughout Alaska
was charged to a large group of
wholesale retail dealers in An
chorage, Fairbanks, Ketchikan,
and Seward.
The actions in Alaska are with
out precedent. A department of
ficial said “this is the first time
we have made an all-out drive
to clean up restraints in an entire
territory at one time. We are not
through up there. This is just
the first group of cases.
