ALL - ALASKA CHAMBER IS
TRUE VOICE OF ALASKA PEOPLE
( Anchorage Daily News )
There is no doubt about the worth of All-Alaska
Chamber of Commerce meetings which have been held
twice annually since 1952. Those who attended the
Seward sessions of the ninth semi-annual meeting
during the latter half of last week could not help but
come home with feelings of the solidarity that the
all-Alaska organization is building among the far-flung
communities of the territory.
The All-Alaska Chamber of Commerce began
under its present framework in August 1952. It reacti
vated the old Alaska Chamber of pre-war days which
had degenerated into an office in Juneau with a salaried
secretary and not much else.
The All-Alaska Chamber, sparked by Jack Ander
son of Anchorage and carried on since by Tommy Bie of
Seward, Stan Tatum and A1 Polet of Fairbanks, and
others, is now a going thing supported entirely by
members because of the great value they see in main
taining this town hall type of organization, the most
democratic of all means of expressoin.
The significant reports and suggestions, if they
are beneficial to all Alaska, usually find their way to
the legislature or to Congress, through the delegate
in the form of resolutions or petitions. Such requests
hold weight because they represent the true voice of
the civic leaders of Alaska, who in turn reflect the
needs and demands of their areas.
The All-Alaska Chamber of Commerce cannot
be considered a “convention” in the ordinary sense of
the word. While there is a good deal of fun and side
play, it is a deadly serious organization whose well
spring is the people of Alaska.

Eisenhower Rules Out Intervention
By U.S. Armed Forces in Middle East
Now, Looks toU.N. for Solution
By John M. Hightower
WASHINGTON, W>—President
Eisenhower, having ruled out use
of U.S. armed forces in the pres
ent Middle East fighting, (looked
to the United Nations today to
find a way of solving “this tor
menting problem.”
“In the past,” the President de
clared in a radio-TV broadcast to
the nation Wednesday night, “the
United Nations has proved able
to find a way to end bloodshed.
We believe it can and will do so
again.”
He did not suggest specific steps
the United States might take to
carry out a policy which he de
fined as “to do all in its power to
localize the fighting and to end
the conflict.”
U.N. General Assembly
Eisenhower said the U.N. Gen
eral Assembly should be able to
bring “the opinion of the world”
to bear on the situation created
by Israel’s attack on Egypt and
British-French intervention.
The President chided Britain,
France and Israel but added that
all had been provoked by Egyp
tian actions.
Eisenhower said he has no plan
to call a special session of Con
gress. He promised to maintain
close contact with congressional
leaders.
Eisenhower described the tan
gled situation in his speech, and
then said: “In the circumstances
I have described, there will be no
United States involvement in
these present hostilities.”
Decision Taken in Error'
Eisenhower declared that the
Israeli, British and French deci
sions to attack Egypt were de
cisions "taken in error.”
Yet to say that the U.S. con
siders the British, French and Is
raeli actions wrong, Eisenhower
declared, “is in no way to mini
mize our friendship with these
nations—nor our determination to
maintain those friendships.”
“For we are fully aware of the
grave anxieties of Israel, of Brit
ain and of France,” he went on.
“We know that they have been
subjected to grave and repeated
provocations.”
No Call for Hysteria
The President began his dis
cussion of the Middle East by de
claring that while the situation is
“somber” and “invites our most
serious concern,” it is not a situa
tion “that calls for extravagant
fear or hysteria.”
After saying that Egypt had
provided “repeated provokations”
to Israel, Britain and France, Eis
enhower continued:
“The present fact, nonetheless,

express the weight of gems, is
now standardized at two-fifths of
a gram.
seems clear: the actions taken can
scarcely be reconciled with the
principles and purposes of the
United Nations to which we have
all subscribed. And, beyond this,
we are forced to doubt that resort
to war will for long serve the
permanent Interests of the at
tacking nations.”
War No Remedy
“In all the recent troubles in
the Middle East,” Eisenhower de
clared, “there have indeed been
injustices suffered by all nations
involved. But I do not believe
that another instrument of injus
tice—war—is the remedy for
these wrongs.
“There can be no peace—with
out law. And there can be no law
—if we were to invoke one code
of international conduct for those
who oppose us—and another for
our friends.”
New Day in East Europe
Earlier in his speech, Eisen
hower said that “in eastern Eur
ope there is the dawning of a new
day.” He made it clear he hopes
the Soviet govednment will live
up to its recently announced in
tention to review its eastern Eur
opean policies and to consider
withdrawal of its troops from
Poland, Hungary and Romania
following anti-Moscow revolts in
the first two nations.
“If the Soviet Union faithfully
acts upon its announced inten
tion,” Eisenhower said, “the world
will witness the greatest forward
stride toward justice, trust and
understanding among nations in
our generation.”
