One way you look at it, the
allies have escaped from Gen
eva after skating on some pret
ty thin ice.
They went there prepared to
pay Russia handsomely, per
haps even dangerously, if she
would really cooperate for
peace.
There was daniger in the wes
tern offer to establish a secur
ity system leaving Germany
free to choose her own course.
There was danger, as Molo
tov said, in the American offer
of mutual inspection of mili
tary concentrations in order to
insure against surprise attack.
A good many people 'have
wondered if the president and
his secretary of state were not
taking a calculated risk on that
point, in order to impress the
noncommit.ed peoples of the
world of America’s sincerity in
seeking to avoid war. Russia
was not expected to agree. If
she had, the complications
would have been terrific.
There was danger that the
Eastern European satellites
would find their positions fro
zen in a new security arrange
ment recognizing the entity of
the Eastern military bloc which
Russia formed in a show of bal
ancing NATO.
Is it better, then, that there
were no agreements? That the
pipe-dreams entertained by
some since the death of Stalin
have been shattered'’
There is, of course, only a
feelinjg of depression a't the re
turn tp cold war. But for the
strength of the west, a full re
alisation of the facts of life
may b3 a life-saver.
Some of these facts are:

ed enemy of the west. It is an

ideological as well as a politi-.
cal enmity. It is not subject to
compromise as lonjg as the pro
motion of world communism is
Moscow’s chief aim.
The Soviet Union will make
no settlements except for her
own purposes connected with
this policy of expansion, and
she will keep them only as long
as they serve those purposes.
The Soviet Union intends to
promote her policy bv means
of disruption of western af
fairs, as in hej: campaign to id
entify communism with the
Nationalist aspirations of un
derdeveloped, or what she calls
“colonial” na' ions, and >as in
the case of her current attempt
to infiltrate in the Middle Bast
The Soviet Union, in this
campaign, is perfectly willing
to promote war between other
peoples, as she did in Korea
and as she is trying to do in
the Middle East. j
The Soviet Union, if these
I measures fail, is entirely cap
able of resorting (to wholesale
war, once her industrialization
gives her a chance against the
United States, as it will in the
foreseeable future.
Strong h, a determination
not to relax its vigilance, a dag
ged pursuit of better economic
and political conditions for the
under-developed countries, and
resignation 'to a lonig-term con
test are the west’s only an
swers. i

SECOND DAUGHTER BORN |
TO HILLARY BALANCIER’S
A second daughter, Seforana,
was iborn at 6:39 a. m. Nov. 16
at Mt. Edgecumibe hospital to
Mr. and Mrs. Hillary Francis
Balancier of Sitka.
The infani:, who weighed
seven pounds, four and a hall

age 2.
Mr. Balancier is employed as
a cook.
A. P. FRANKLIN TAKEN
TO ISLAND HOSPITAL
A. P. “Art” Franklin was ad
mitted to Mt. Edgeeumbe hos
pital yesterday afternoon and
this noon his condition was re-]
ported »as “satisfactory.” It was
learned he was not on the crit
ical list at the hospital.
Mr. Franklin had suffered
two heart attacks Wednesday ,
afternoon and evening. He is
proprietor of Triune Service
Co. and chief of the Volunl ter
Fire department.
Gil Nettinos
his charges run true to form,
the present Island quint should
be a carbon copy of the previ
ous season — fast. ,
As to the type of defense his
opponents can expect, Patter
son wasn't so tight lipped and
stated: “We like a man-to-man
but will also use the zone on
some occasions.”
If the basketball boss-man at
Edgeeumbe is pessimistic — it
is quite understandable. Tackl
inlg its toughest schedule in
many seasons, the Edgecumibe
oul fit will meet .Juneau 3 times
and Ketchikan twice besides
trying to retain its lofty perch
in the rugged local scholastic
loop. To put it in his own works
Pat erson stated:
“We would like to win them
all. but this is a tough row to
hoe.”
The Edgecumibe oreipsters
will journey to the First City
o meet KavHi on Jan 13-14
and will meet the Crimson
Bears in Khe Capital City on the
17-28 of the same month. The
Juneau team, always a tough
customer, will clash with .he
island contingent at the Edjge
cumibe field house on Feb. 21.
Approached with the query
of what he thought his chances
were for survival against S'JS
and Silica, Patterson agreed
that the Edgeoumibe club sho
uld win its share of games but
after seeing SJS put up a tre
mendous struggle before drop
ping a heart-breaker to the al
umni and being well aware of
what Sitka has back in its str
onghold this season, he point
ed out that the Edgecumbe
Braves are in for a rough sea
son.
“I can’t see that we have a
team to beat,” he said, then con
eluded, “we actually have two
really tough ones to beat.”
Amen!
A Johnny-come-lately, so to
speak, in local basketball, Ed
gecumbe has fielded a team
continually since the tailend of
the 1946-47 season. An all time
Edegcumibe team, if this obser
ver were asked to name one,
(and he is) would include: Ar
chie Cavanaugh. Dundee Atkin
son, Richard Stitt and Franklin
Williams — all who brought
Edigecutmibe its first moments of
glory with a championship team
in ’48. Others would have to
include Johnny Nelson and
Gene Johnson, ’52 . A
fine baseball player, and one
who slugged a monstrous two
run homer enabling Harold
Donnelly (that man, again) to
hurl a 2-0 shut-out in the 1950
Sitka-Juneau All-Star game.
Bill Patterson was an all aro
und athlete at Willamette U
in Salem. Ore., lettering in base
ball, foo ball and basketball be
fore receiving his BA degree.
Before receiving the impulse to
head north to the “Last Front
ier,” Patterson coached at Ore
gon School for the Deaf, Chem
awa Indian School and Gervius
(Ore) Union High School. Tuck
ed under his belt also is the ex
neriemee he Gained during his
handling of the reins for one
season as Willamette Frosh
basketball coach. Mr. Patter
son b<4?ins his second seiason ait
