r GROMYKO’S FLOP
** -
Smiting with his most decisive diplomatic de- |
feat to date, Andrei Gromyko, Soviet Russia’s delegate
to the San Francisco conference, is on his way home.
For three days, Gromyko and his satellite dele
gates, strove in vain to wreck the Japanese peace
treaty: by means of crippling amendments. He charg- i
ed the United States with "dictatorship" tactics and
asserted: that the treaty contained the seed of new war
in the Orient.
He offered amendents which would have rendered
Japaq .defenseless and stomped out of the conference
when.jfcable to secure a ballot on them He stormed
at the exclusion of Red China from the meeting.
And despite all his bluster, and bombast, forty
eight nations signed the pact in Saturday's cere
mony.
We are encouraged by this trend. It is signifi- j
;ant that not a single nation was, swayed by tnel
Kremlin line. It appears that the world has learned
:o recognize Soviet steamroller diplomacy and has de
ermined to face up to it in the interests of lasting
oeace.
Moscow's bully boy has lost a great deal of
ground these past few dap. His bluff has been
called and even his pouting and shouting have failed
to impress the serious-minded delegates.
We think it takes a lot of gall to attempt to
dictate a peace treaty after having,been at war with
Japan for only live days. But Russia has a lot of
gall. And so has Andrei Gromyko.
And we’re willing to bet that Andrei catches hell
when he gets back to Moscow emptyhanded. Wonder
how much ranting he can get away with at the
Kremlin?
STRATOSPHERIC I)EUT
Every newborn American baby opens his eyes to
a debt of approximately SI.700 to the Federal Gov
ernment. The total Federal debt is equivalent to an
$11,000 mortgage on every owner-occupied dwelling in
the Nation. These are two ways of saying that our
national debt reached the staggering figure of $257,
357,000,000 in the fiscal year 1950.
It is time to make an honest effort to balance
our budget. With a national debt of such magnitude
and years of deficit spending, is it surprising that
higher and higher Federal taxation is imminent?
The Democratic Party solemnly pledged in 1932
to reduce the cost of government by 25 percent, and
it promised to keep us out ol war. But now Truman's
bloody peace has already cost more than Roosevelt’?
war. Having the power to do almost anything and
to tax w'ithout limit, the Administration and a major
ity of Congress is committed to a program of 'ex
changing favors in return for votes. A government
so dishonest and irresponsible at home can exercise
no moral authority abroad. Without American moral
leadership it seems peace is impossible and continued
,var inevitable.
To correct the evils of such a government the
people, themselves, must reduce the amount of gov
ernment by re-enacting Constitutional limitations re
defining the kind of government the people want.
Without that Congress is defenseless against the
interminable organized pressure groups that continue
to increase.

Merry-Go-Round

is a voter who wonders if the GOP
really ;wants him." The editorial
was written by Dr. Glen G. Eye
of the University of Wisconsin. He
said he wanted to be a Republican,
but "nothing happened" when he
approached known party leaders
with an offer to ring doorbells and
make a five-dollar contribution.
Dr. Eye said this caused him to
wonder whether our party is in
terested only in large contribu
tors. He added that Republicans
might win a general election "by
accepting a few million of us one
to-five-dollar prospects,” but warn
ed that the rising cost oi living
under Democrat administrations
would soon make it difficult for
him to contribute even one dollar.
Some of the letters on this edi
torial reported experiences similar
to Dr. Eye's. Others thought the
editorial was an unwarranted re
flection upon tens of thousands of
diligent, industrious Republican
workers throughout the country,
and suggested that if Dr. Eye re
ally wanted to be a Republican,
he could easily have found a way.
The magazine declined to publish
an editorial prepared to correct
some of Dr. Eye's impressions.
Well, Dr. Eye has been asked to
go to work. His neighbor, Edwin
O. Bosten, is the new Dane Coun
ty (Wis.) Republican chairman.
He has invited Dr. Eye to take
charge of their precinct, and re
mindecThim in an open letter that
“our Dane County Republican or
ganization is financed principally
by the $1 contributions of a stead
ily mjujiting number of your fel
low citizens—men and women m
all walks of life who share your
conviction that our nation must
returifcrto sound moral, economic
and political principles if our
country and our American way of
life is to survive."
I hope and anticipate that as a
new Republican worker, Dr. Eye
will bejeffective. We need and
welcome all the eyes—Mr., Mrs. or
Miss—that we can enroll in the
coming campaign. It doesn't make
any difference whether they have
been inactive Republicans, Dem
ocrats or Independents. We need
their services and we need their
contrbutions—from one dollar to
the $5,000 permitted by the Hatch
Act.
Our records show that last year,
75 per cent of the contributions to
the National Committee ranged
from $1 to $99. In Massachusetts
for example, the Republican party
raised $525,000 from 35,505 contri
butors, or an average of $14.80 per
contributor. The Democrats, in
contrast raised $572,000 from 1,3951
contributors, or an average of
$410 per contributor. That indi
cates pretty well which party gets
^he large contributions, despite
|he falsehoods persistently circu
lated by the Trumancrats.
: But even more urgently than
iontributions, large and small, we
fceed doorbell ringers. Elections are
iicver won by strategists in ivory
lowers, but by the pavement-pound
ing efforts of volunteer workers.
survey when I became chairman
two years ago showed that 37,000
pf our precincts, or 20 per cent
fcf the total, were unmanned by
Republican workers. Through our

Happenings at Haines
HAINES, Alaska—(Special to The
Empire)—A Chilkat Valley Sports
man Association was organized Aug.
28. Officers are President George
Gray of 35 Mile, Steve Sheldon,
vice president, of Haines; Mrs.
Rayno Johnson of Kluckwan, sec
retary and treasurer; Mr. R. John
son of Kluckwan, executive officer.
Membership is to be restricted and
will meet when necessary or upon
request. Place and time of future
meetings are undecided.
Marion Prada and Miss Marie
Costellano of Eveleth, Mich., were
united in marriage Aug. 24. The
wedding took place in the apartment
that was to be the couple's home in
Port Chilkoot, The couple was
attended by Mr. and Mrs. Gene
Martin. They were married by U S.
Commissioner Ross L. Hevel. Mr.
Prada is with the ACS.
Tom Williams and Susie Hepler
were married by U.S. Commissioner
Ross L. Hevel Aug. 30. They were
attended by Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Hepler, Jr.
Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Carswell
made a flying trip into Haines the
past week from the border.
The Sheldon Serenaders held a
dance in the school gym Aug. 25.
It was well attended and the music
was good. The PTA served the
lunch.
The American Legion held a rum
mage and food sale Aug. 27 in the
basement of the Presbyterian
church. Hot doughnuts were made
on the spot and sold. A net of
in correcting that situation. We
hope to put into the next cam
paign the hardest-hitting Repub
lican organization of all time. Tc
do it, we need the help of every
one who believes the time is past
due to have an honest, efficient
and competent national administ
ration.
In New England, for example,
one state Republican organization
has a goal of 50,000 workers to call
on 10 families each. In the middle
west, a state Republican chairman
has been instilling new blood into
his organization, and of 43 new
county chairmen, 35 are under 40
years of age. The results were ap
parent last fall when 22 of these
counties turned out heavier Re
publican votes than in the 1948
presidential election.
In criss-crossing the country
many times. I have found that
the vast majority of Republican
officers at all levels—local, state
and national—are sincere, consci
entious and hard-working. Of
course there are exceptions, and
Dr. Eye may have encountered
some. Any party organization
which met five successive defeats
in national elections is bound to
have some rust on the machinery
which needs chipping off.
That is our purpose and our de
termination. This is the year we
are building the Republican party,
as one of inclusion rather than ex
clusion, as one which welcomes
recruits whatever their previous
political allegiance. The times are
too critical, and the stakes too
great in 1952, to permit any other
course.
$37.44 was made and turned over to
| the treasury. On Sept. 8 there was
| a joint meeting of the Auxiliary and

the men will adjourn and hold their

! adjourned there will be a lunch. All
i members of both the Legion and the

date and plan to attend the meet
