Interpreting News
by J. M. RoDerts
A. P. News Analyst
At least one member of the
western Big Three - is well on
the way toward disillusion-1
•ment ifrom the Soviet smile of
fensive. This is bound to have
a (profound effect on the sched
uled meeting of foreign minist
ers in Geneva this month.
Soviet foreign minister Mol
otov’s explanation of the Sov
iet stand on the Algerian situa
tion'in the United Nations will
hardly help matters for Mos
cow, so far as France is con
cerned. He said the Soviet Un
ion voted to discuss Algeria in
the igenerlal assembly because
“we are against an aggravation
of the problem.” He then went
on to add illogically: “We are
convinced France will settle
the problem herself and this
will bring improvement in the
relations of all countries.”
The Soviet Union, in an op
portunistic alliance with the
Arab-Asian 'bloc, shows little
intntion of (permitting France
to solve the problem of Algeria
herself. Far from being inter
ested in preventing an aggrava
tion of the problem, the Soviet
Union and the communist bloc
have been doing all in their
power to increase the aggrava
tion.
France is fully aware of the
activities of Radio Budapest
and Radio Prague with regard
to Algeria and the rest, of
North Africa. The French now
can Ibe sure, with the Soviet at
titude in the United Nations,
that Moscow’s new look does
not go so far as to preclude ac
tive interest in muddying the
North African waters in the
name of a “liberation move
ment.”
[Molotov’s words with regard
to the Algerian situation must
sure'lv be taken by the western
Big Three as a danger signal.
Molotov has indicated the Sov
iet desire to have its cake and
eat it at the same time. The
Soviet bloc vote on Algeria in
the >U. N. is an abrupt slap in
the face for France — yet Mo
lotov blandly follows it up with
the remark that the assembly
decision would improve rela
tions. This display of Soviet
contempt for French intelli
gence will not pass unnoticed.
Of the western Big Three,
France has appeared to be the
most susceptible to Soviet
blandis'hrrients, largely because
of the latent French fears of
German arms and the vicissi
tudes of the French economy.
It now must Ibe plain to the
French that the Soviet Ibloc has
been instrumental in deliver
ing a hard blow to France’s
prestige, and this has been
done primarily for the service
| of Soviet interests.
! Except for the communists
|'and the extreme left, France is
united on its attitude toward
| Algeria. Frenchmen argue
there never was an organized
Algeria 'before they appeared
on the scene more than 125
years ago and Algeria is an in
1 tegral part of France. At least
| on this issue, French political
parties can present a solid
front.
i Thus, on the eve of Geneva,
French hopes the Soviet peace
offensive was (genuine have
been severly shaken. Even the
most casual analysis of the So
viet-Arab alliance on North
'African politics should go far
S toward firming up all the Wests
| latent suspicions there is great
! danger behind the smiles of
i Moscow.
Reader's Forum
Gentlemen:
It is requested, in the inter
est off public safety, that you,
through your advertising a
gency, advise the public that
in the event of an alert that
they should immediately turn
their radios to 640 kc.
| It is planned that the pub
J lie will be kept advised of the
j nature of the expected attack,
| if any, or of the nature of the
■ emergency, iby broadcasts a
bout every 30 minutes.
The old concept of civil de
fense when the radio stations
were ordered off the air to pre
vent their being used as navi
gational aids is outdated.
It is no longer necessary to
darken out a place as modern
science has the means of pin
pointing a target, night or day.
It should be further empha
sized that the undersigned
will never, and I repeat never,
order a practice alert. If at any
time an alert be sounded, it
will be what the U'ndersignd
believes to be the real thing.
It should further be empha
sized that it Can Happen Here
and has barkened. While dir
ect enemy action against Sitka
is not anticipated, it is very
probable that some nuisance
action will be taken.
Our military leaders tell us
that in the event of enemy ac
tion. there may well be - no
warning whatsoever, even ef
ficient to walk across the room
We should be prepared to do
our part and carry on. after
being hit hard.
Thianking you for your help
in acquainting the public with
the above information, I am,
Very truly yours,
