Admiral Testifies That
South China May Revolt
Against Communist Yoke
WASHINGTON, (/Pi — Vice
Adm. Oscar C. Badger told sen
ators he believes there is a chance
South China may revolt against
the Communists.
Badger, one of the Navy’s old
hands, testified as the tenth wit
ness in the dismissal of Gen. Mac
Arthur as Pacific commander.
He read to the investigating
committee a report he had made
to the War College here last
March 14.
This said the area of Manchuria,
i
Inner Mongolia, Sinkiang “and,
possibly, North China,” is “gen
erally deemed to be securely un
der Communist control and de
finitely subservient to Moscow.”
But in the areas of China to
the south, it said, there is- still
“a chance of revolutionary reper
cussion against Communist tyr
anny and imperialism.”
Speaking generally, Badger also
told the senators the over-all ob
jectives of the U. S. should be:
(1) “Create and maintain world
conditions so that Russia will
deem it unwise to undertake
World War III,” and, j
(2) “Initiate promptly and un
dertake those political, economic,
humanitarian, and miktary objec
tives which, in case of war with
Soviet Russia, would permit us to
engage under the most favorable
terms.”

what about \
the other '
U months
of the
year?
Alaska’s salmon canneries are mighty busy canning for about
i a month every year. But they stand idle and unused for the rest
oj the year-—except for pre-season and post-season work.
No one likes this situation. Certainly we of the Alaska salmon
industry would prefer to see these canneries humming with !
activity 52 weeks a year.
Nature dictates that the salmon canning business be seasonal.
The fish must be caught and processed at certain, short intervals oj
the year. Right now, jor example, activity is concentrated in the
Copper River and Cook Inlet Districts.
- i
Alaska can’t grow very much and prosper until more, diver- »
sified industry comes to the Territory. The salmon industry—
historically Alaska’s largest and its heaviest taxpayer—would like
very much to see these new industries in the Territory.
We, too, are concerned over those idle months.
