APPEASEMENT
(Continued from Page One)
in a “bare faced distortion” in some
of his testimony yesterday.
Invasion Was Rumored
Acheson said MacArthur’s head
quarters had a report three months
in advance that the North Korean
Reds planned a June invasion of
South Korea but refused to believe
it.
Acheson’s testimony came after
Republicans put into the record a
statement from Adm. Roscoe A. Hil
moer, former head of the U. S. Cen
tral Intelligence Agency, that he was
never given a copy of the 1947 Wed
emeyer report warning of possible
Communist aggression in Korea.
This was a report Lt. Gen. Albert
Wedemeyer made to President Tru
man after a survey of the Far East.
Secret Testimony
Senator Bridges produced secret
testimony from Hillen-Koetter to a
Senate Appropriations subcommittee
last year that so far as he knows
the Wedemeyer report was “kept
secret from everybody.”
Acheson then told the senators
that an intelligence report from
MacArthur’s command dated March
10, 1950 carried this note;
Invasion Warning
“ ‘Report received that Peoples
Army’ — referred to as Pa — ‘will
invade South Korea in June, 1950’.”
Acheson went on:
“To that, was attached this com
ment:
'“Comment: The Peoples Army
will be prepared to invade South
Korea by fall and possibly by spring
of this year indicated in the cur
rent report of armed force expan
sion and major troop movements at
critical 38th Parallel areas. Even
if future reports bear out the pres
ent indication, it is believed civil
war will not necessarily be precipi
tated; so that intentions in Korea
are believed closely related to Com
munist program in Southwest Asia.
Word of Attack
“ ‘Seems likely that Communist
overt military measures in Korea
will be held in abeyance, at least
until further observations made by
Soviets of results of their program
in such places as Indochina. Burma
and Thailand.’.”
Bridges broke in on Acheson to
remark, "Well, that was a pretty
definite statement that they had
word that the attack was coming in
> June.”
Acheson: "Pretty definite state
ment? They said a report was re
ceived they would attack in June.
Then, the comment said, “we don’t
believe this statement."

(Fifty-Seventh of a Series)
WELCOME, EDITORS
During the next couple of weeks
Alaska will be host to some 180
American editors and editorial
employees and their families who
have been attending the 66th an
nual convention of the National
Editorial Association at Seattle.
The editors and other newspaper
workers who are making the Alas
i ka trip represent some 70 weekly
| and daily newspapers in 26 states,
from Vermont to California and
from Washington to Florida.
A few of them are from such
metropolitan papers as the Free
Press of Duluth, Minn., which has
nearly as many people as the whole
cf Alaska, or the Mecklenburg
Times, of Charlotte, North Carol
ina, which has more.
But mostly their newspapers are
in towns with fewer than 10,000
people, towns of about the same
size as those they will visit in Al
aska.
Writing about another NEA con
vention many years ago, one of Al
aska's best known editors, the late
'Stroller” White, said: “I have in
variably observed that men who
were limited as to finances were al
ways accompanied by their wives
but those who were flush always
went alone and unencumbered.”
The number of wives who are ac
companying their husbands on this
trip indicates that these editors
are no more "flush” than the av
erage Alaskan editor or, for that
matter, the average editor of a
small town newspaper anywhere in
the United States. „
But on this trip, in addition to
the editors and their wives and
the children of some of them, there
are 14 or 15 unattached women,
nearly all of them in newspaper
work. This is a phenomena that
either did not exist in "Stroller”
White’s day or was unobserved by
him.
The editors’ trip to Alaska, com
ing at the end of their convention,
is no douot intended as a vacation.
But when did a newspaper editor
ever take a real vacation?
Most of them will spend much
of their "vacation” observing, ask
ing questions and making notes
for their stories on Alaska.
Alaska is a big story. In fact, it
is several stories. Statehood for Al
aska has become a national issue
and the defense of Alaska is of
national Interest. By reporting to j
their readers at first hand on these
and other aspects of Alaska as they
find it, the editors can do this Ter
ritory a great service.
The Alaska Story, the real story,
will not be an easy one for the ed
itors to get for their readers. They
will be pestered and even plagued
by those who would turn them into ■
publicity agents for this project or
that.
In all probability they will be
showered with ready-made “opin
ions" that purport to be universal
among Alaskans, and deluged with
“facts” in support of those opin
ions.
It may even be that they will be
treated like visiting Congressmen
and other political bigwigs and that
efforts will be made to shepherd
them around on carefully conduc
ted tours and to shield them from
the harsher realities of Alaska liv
ing.
But while that sort of thing
is not infrequently worked on the
visiting politicians, it is doubt
ful that a group of American news
paper editors can be hornswoggled
in such fashion.
Here as elsewhere, then, the
questing editors will have to cut
through a good deal of dross to
get at the true picture. They will
have, as the miner would say, to
sluice off the overburden and get
down to bedrock where the nug
gets are.
The nuggets of truth will be un
covered, in the towns of Alaska
as in small towns everywhere, by
talking with the man in the street,
the man having coffee at the cor
ner di-utfstore, the grocer, the
canker, the hardware merchant,
the taxi driver and the cop on the
beat.
It is hoped that at least some
of the editors, within the limited
time of their visit, will find the
opportunity to get off into the by
ways a little and to do their ow’n
prospecting. They will find that
Alaskans, the Alaskans who have
teen here long enough to put down
some roots, are friendly people, as
easy to talk to. as the folks back
home in Osage, Iowa, Seward, Ne
braska or Waupaca, Wisconsin.
As they look over the Alaska
scene, the editors may be puzzled
by a number of things. They will
be informed on the one hand that
Alaska's greatest handicap is “ab
sentee ownership,” and on the other
hand that Alaska’s greatest need
is the investment of capital from
"outside.”
Many if not all of the editors
have no doubt been troubled at
one time or another by an actual
or threatened shortage of news
print. On their trip they will travel
nearly the length of Tongass Na
tional Forest, which could supply
raw material for the manufacture
of 2.500 or 3.000 tons of newsprint
a day for ever and ever. Yet not
one twig of this forest is now man
ufactured into pulp or newsprint.
No Alaskan can tell the editors
why that is. They can only report
that they have hoped for pulp
mills for thirty years past and that
there is still hope.
The editors will inevitably dis
cover. when they look closely, that
Alaska is now living large upon its
fisheries and upon government
spending, with the emphasis on the
latter.
And as a result of the govern
ment spending they will observe
in some parts of the Territory a
boom that rivals the Gold Rush of
50 years ago.
The main difference is that 50
years ago the “pay" came out of
the ground and was shipped south
to the United States mint. Now it
is the Bureau of Printing and En
graving that produces the “pay”
and ship3 it north to A.laska.
Some mining is still carried on
in Alaska, it is true, particularly
in the northern sections. But there
are deposits of copper and coal,
iron, gypsum and other minerals
that are not being mined and there
is not nearly as much mining as
Alaskans would like to see.
Still, so long as the minerals re
main in the ground there is a
chance for a mining revival.
And with proper conservation
the fisheries can last far into the
future.
But what will happen to Alaska
when government spending, upon
which her present boom is based,
comes to an end? That is a ques
tion Alaskans do not like to think
toe much about.
All in all, the visiting editors
may find Alaska a somewhat puz
zling place. They need not be un
duly concerned about that. People
who have spent their entire lives
in the Territory still find it some
thing of a puzzle.
We do hope that the visitors will
enjoy every moment of their stay
and every mile of their travels in
Alaska. And we hope that some
of them will find it interesting
enough that they will some day
want to return to dig deeper into
the Alaska story.
