CIVILIAN DEFENSE—NOME’S NO. 1 PROJECT
Civilian Defense means more in Nome than any other
place in Alaska, as in this part of the Far North we
have the military forces behind us instead of in front
of us, and we stand on our own at this critical time, in
a strategic geographical location.
H. F. Harper has been named Director of Defense,
and a well planned program will soon be under way. It
can be successful only if every person in the commun
ity does hi3 or her share of the program as outlined by
the leaders.
Anchorage and Fairbanks have their plans well laid
and have already had practice blackouts and evacua
tions. Most of the key cities in the States have well or
ganized plans now to help protect, the citizens in case
of an enemy attack.
Our particular problems in relation to protection
against invasion are distinctly different than other
places due to our isolation and will require considerable
study and planning, and most important of all, co-opera
tion.
This is one phase of our civilian life wherein every
person in the community will benefit should the emer
gency arise and for which everyone must take time out
from their other activities.
CAN’T TWO FIND PROVOCATION?
The suggestion that medium-wave radio transmitters
be installed on ships so that factual information can be
carried to any corner of the globe is suggested by James
Reston, correspondent for The New York Times.
The newspaper article telling about this suggestion
reported that the United States has been wary of this
strategem lest the Soviet Union take it as a provocation.
If the Soviet Government takes such an attitude to
the-use of short-wave radio on ships that ply the high
seas, why cannot the United States take a similar atti
tude toward the habit of the Soviet Union in jamming
the transmission of radio stations that might otherwise
carry some light behind the Iron Curtain?

ANTI-KAI-SHEK; NOT PRO-RED
Arnold J. Toynbee, British historian, says the “real
danger in the Korean situation is not the danger of a
third world war but the effect that the handling of Ko
rean affairs may have upon oriental and African peo
ples.”
The historian thinks that these groups hold the bal
ance of power and “will have the last word in the issue
between the West and Russia.”
Interestingly, he does not consider China lost to the
West, describing the nation as “anti-Chiang Kai-Shek,
rather than pro-Russian,” and declares that the National
ist government, “a very bad government, made a pres
ent of China to the Communists.”
TREMENDOUS DEBT
Public and private debt in the United States, on De
cember 31, 1949, amounted to $442,000,000,000. This
represented an increase of about two and one-half per
cent for the calendar year, 1949.
Of this indebtedness, the Federal Government owed
about $218,500,000,000 and state and local governments
owed $18,000,000,000. The rest of the sum represents
indebtedness incurred by the people and corporations
of the United States in their own business affairs.
This tremendous total of indebtedness would have
scared financiers to death thirty years ago. Nobody
would have believed that the nation and its people could
carry such a financial burden except in the greatest dis
tress. Nevertheless, something like prosperity seems to
be abroad in the land and few seem to be concerned
about the amount owed or how it will be paid.
