Will There IV a
Pax Americana?
Bv J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press Notes Analyst
Prime Minister Harold MacMil
; land must have experienced a feel
| ing of nostalgia and a certain
i sense of the turning wheels of his
tory when President Kennedy told
! him of U S. plans to forestall any
j Soviet attempt to use the Congo
| trouble for a face-saving attempt
: after Cuba.
For approximately a century
prior to World War I. Britain
ranked with two other great forces
of history os the world’s peace
keeper.
First there was the Roman Em
pire, during what was known .is
the Pax Romana. Then the Roman
Catholic Church, with the Pax Ec
clesiae of the 13th Century, then
Britain in the 19th Century.
All used war to keep the peace—
the Roman legions, the Crusades
behind which the church unified
| most of Europe, and British diplo
| macy backed by Tommy Atkins
J and the Royal Navy.
Now the mantle has Dassed to
the United States, which keeps a
million men under arms in foreign
lands to back the weapons of both
money and diplomacy, and which
mounts 200 atomic missiles which
can reach farther than ever could
the Caesars, the Popes or Tommy
Atkins.
But whether there will be a Pax
Americana, nobody knows yet.
The movement, and the intent, is
in that direction.
Britain will accept intensified
American military support of the
United Nations military position in
the Congo, as well as in India
where she was once supreme. But
it is another perplexing problem
for the British government, be
cause British money is involved
with European money.
The world is not so simple as
when the great British trading
companies, with government sup
port by arms, extended their sway
across the world and Europe was
kept “in its place” by a policy of
balancing diverse national powers
and interests.
Now Britain is faced with the
need of joining Europe in the
dance instead of just conducting
the music.
The Congo is a long way from
the Soviet Union, and also from
the United States. A threat to the
American national interest would
not be so direct there, and the
very psychology of this would
make a firm U.S. response more
difficult, just as it has been diffi
cult in Viet Nam.
But the United States has as
sumed, or has been loaded with,
the role of world peace-keeper,
without the spur from the expan
sionist pressures which largely
motivated the three great former
world peace-keepers.
It is a difficult role in which to
maintain a peak of performance.
Researchers have found that,
because of poor listening habits,
most people forget in two days
up to 75 per cent of what they
hear. But is that such a bad idea
—considering what they hear?

Man’s Best Friend . . .
JUNEAU t-fT — Although dogs
in Ketchikan seem to be getting
wise to recent police attempts to
cage them. Juneau enforcement
officers are hard put to stay out
of Rover's way.
Bigstoones Black Beauregard, a
registered black Labrador pup,
owned bv Warren Wiley of KJNO
radio in Juneau, went out of his
way to show his affection for the
local Canine Control Officer Wed
nesday.
The dog broke loose from
Wiley’s wife, Donna, and headed
for jail. W’hen Juneau’s control of
ficer walked down the steps of the
local headquarters, the dog dashed
across the yard and hurled his 55
pounds at the officer’s chest, leav
ing a trail of muddy footprints
from cuff to collar. He was un
ceremoniously ticketed and tossed
Wiley said this was not new. The
dog and the officer are old friends.
It is his third trip to the pokey.
After paying the three dollar
fine for his dog’s release, Wiley j
said “if this keeps up he’ll have I
a police record as long as his
pedigree.”

i Agreement ivi Sy;ht Soon
| vor Transfer of Federal
Property to Alaska
WASHINGTON UP) — Hope that
agreement can be reached soon on
1 the transfer of federal property to
Alaska was voiced by Atty. Gen.
George Hayes of Alaska Wednes
day.
“I feel we made considerable
progress and am hopeful of an
early solution to this problem
which has been pending too long,”
Hayes said after three days of
talks with federal officials.
Statehood legislation provided
for Alaska to take over from the
government various functions re
lating to conservation and fish and
j game management.
Along with assuming these re
sponsibilities, the state was also
to receive property, buildings and
equipment, such as aircraft and
boats, that would no longer be
needed by the government.
A problem arose, Hayes ex
plained, because transfer details
were not specifically spelled out.
Hayes said there is some difference
of thinking between the state and
federal Fish and Wildlife Service
on what holdings are involved, he
said.
Hayes said some property and
equipment already has been trans
ferred to the state and hopes this
week’s talks will lead to a final
solution.
