A Pelilion We Should Support . . .
A PETITION WAS STARTED Monday at the meet
ing of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Com
merce to support Congressman Ralph Rivers at his
hearing with the subcommittee on Mines and Mining
of the House Interior and Insular Affairs which is
scheduled for May 8th and 9th.
This committee will hear testimony on several
pending bills, including Rivers’ bid designed to sti
mulate gold mining. All bills are based on the need
to replenish the gold reserve while at the same time
assist the miners.
Anyone in the community who would like to
swell the list of signatures may contact Pearse Walsh
who initiated the idea here or leave their signatures
at the Nugget. It is important that this be done before
Friday of this week so the list may reach our Congress
man in time for the hearing.
The bill would provide producers from reopened
mines and newly discovered or developed mines $35
an ounce for a ten year period and $20 per ounce
thereafter as incentive payments.
Local business people are also urged to write their
suppliers in other states to support the measure by
writing their congressmen. Persons preferring to write
directly to Congressman Rivers are urged to do this
also so that their statements may become part of the
record of the hearings.

he break, servitude is at once the
consequances of his crime.—Irish

U. S. Policy
Toward Cuba's
Future is Clouded
By J. M. Roberts
Associated Press News A nah/.'t
The past of United States poli
cy toward Cuba becomes more
clear and its future more clouded
as the invasion post-morten con
: tinues.
The project was a national one,
| fashioned in its early stages by
! ihe Dwight D. Eisenhower Ad
; ministration and adopted by its
j successor. Despite President Ken
nedy’s acceptance of responsi
bility, the invasion was not the
j child of any one man or restricted
group, and by this token it was
a national failure in which re
sponsibility is widely spread.
Critics have been new fuel for
their contention that such acts,
j in Cuba and elsewhere, can serve
j to drive pro-Communists eletnents
| more firmly into the arms of the
, Soviet Union. Fidel Castro has
| now proclaimed a socialist Com
munist state and completely re
j pudiated his original promise of
elections.
The United States continues to
say that it will not counter Fidel
ism with direct military inter
vention.
At the same time Kennedy and
many of his advisers are known
to think that additional economic
sanctions can make small contri
bution to the eventual downfall
of Castro. A blockade cutting off
Cuban trade, especially supplies
from the Communist sphere, might
have an effect, but would be a
virtual act of war with many
ramifications in Latin-American
and world opinion.
The abortive invasion is still
a topic of world discussion and
criticism. It has been getting more
attention than Laos in the British
press, which still bitterly re
members the American reaction
to Suez in 1956.
One point of takeoff for much
of the criticism is that the United
States seems to be turning toward
a military answer for Communist
expansionist tactics. The Man
chester Guardian Weekly says
this is to ignore the real nature
of the world conflict, which it
describes as ideological.
This argument has been made
repeatedly in the United States
also, as a parallel to the theory
that the war is primarily econo
mic.
But the arming of Castro and
the Laotian rebels by the Soviet
Union is not an ideological meas
ure, nor is the massing of Com
munist troops in China and North
Viet Nam whose only objective
must be Southeast Asia. Nor is
the constant attention of Red
China and the Soviet Union to
objectives which are a part of
their traditional, not merely Com
munistic policies of territorial ex
pansion.
The United States is now seek
ing answers to broader problems
than Cuba.
Large economic and education
al programs testify that the ideo
logical and economic conflicts
have not been forgotten.
But the emphasis now is on pre
venting Communist conquest and
consolidation of territorial gains
into an eventually irresistable
force, which would leave West
ern culture with no field on which
to fight.
