Yesterday's announcement from Washington fhat a truce in Korea must be achieved, regardless of the former pledges matte and implied to South Korea, gives the impression the United Nations, having lost tlhe war in Korea, are humbly begging to have it end as soon as possible. Then- 'President Eisenhower's letter to the government of Iran made it un-mistakeably plain the United States would withhold all aid to country untsil it settles its oil dispute with Great Britain. Yet at -the same time it is notable that no threat of loss of American aid has never even- been hinted to Enlgland should rhey cot follow a which the U.

S. approves. Jus: why She United Nations must force South Korea to accept a truce under terms wfaere none of the objectives for wihieh they have been fighting for tihree years have been gained is not clear. Except that the Britist are exerting tremendous pressure to end the iwar at any cost, 'thereby baing able to resume unlimn- ied commercial relationships with tihe Communists in the Far East. Russia apparently ih'as a firm grip on the situation on her side for she can tell tfr.e Chinese Communists to accept- a truce They in turn can tell the N'orth Koreans to accept a truce, wit-h every assurance ii will bs agreeafble.

On the United Nations side of the picture, however, is a coalition of free naltions where the strongest should not order tihe weakest to obey a decision. In fact, is a sorry picture to see the United SDa.es wtth all and resources held at bay by tihe comparatively minor 'but determined nation of South Korea, who all that has been said holds fast to tihe precemts of unification as a (free na'Jion or a figHt to the deaiti--. Once upon a time, sus'h precepts were held sacred in the United States, too. The shroud of secrecy has smothered the last series of negotiations between fce United Nations and the Red's, and more recently between the U. S.

representatives and president Syn-gman Rhee of South Korea, has resulted in widespread suspicion among Americans as to the terms. Perhaps they recall that every time in -tlhe last decade the U. S. has become involved in a secreS treaty or agreement, it has later proved to 'have been kept secret because the terms could not have been stomfaehed at home. The Communists know terms, obviously: so dlo the high- ranking members ol tlhe -U.

N. countries involved in the war; in everyone seems to know them except the ordinary American citizens whose sons are fighti-rig and diein.g and whose tax dollars are paying for the War. Diplomats these days are mou'flhin-g such asinine phrases as "peace in our ''peace at any price," "-the necessity of a truce" and the like. Eadh is only too reminiscent of Nevill Chamberlain's siricus remarks as -he began a campaign of appeasement alt Munich. Secrecy, pressure, abandonment of pledges these are all foreign to the American, way of handling matters.

Frankly, 1'he whole Korean situation stinks. Alaska Drug Jewelry Company was a tonal loss in t'he big tire wttikJh swept the madn streeit of Si'tka in the winlter of 1941, Mr. Loy sold his establish meHt to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Worttman who reopened in that location.
