(International Sovndphoto) Intrepreting The News BY JAMES D. WHITE Associated Press Staff Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30—(>P) —More than 200 years ago the Russians got into the Kurile is lands — discovered first by a Dutch navigator in 1604 — and named them after the Russian word "Kurit,” meaning to smoke. The Kuriles are a 700-mile string of volcanic mountains sticking up out of the sea between the Kam shatka peninsula and northern Ja pan. The Russians found them in habited largely by millions of birds, seals, and the remarkable sea otter whose fur the Russians prized. On the three southern islands already there were a few Japanese fishermen, and the remnants of the Ainu aborigines whom the Japa nese had driven out of Japan. The Russians, and later the Ja panese, nearly wiped out the sea otter population through unregu lated hunting, and for a long tim( the Kuriles went unwanted like many other remote Pacific is lands. The Russians freely used the Kurile straits to get past Kam chatka on their way to theii Alaskan colony, and the Japanese did most of their fishing and bam boo harvesting on the three south ern is’ands nearest to Japan. But by 1875 the Russians had established themselves also Or the island of Sakhalin, which lie! inside the Kuriles next to Siberia The Japanese did some quick figuring. They swapped Czarisl I Russia title to Sakhalin in returr for undisputed Japanese owner ship of the Kuriles. Thus thej fenced the Russians firmly intc the Japan and Okhotsk seas ape gave away only Sakhalin (which they didn’t know had oil on it.) In their war with Russia in 1904 the Japanese grabbed Sakhalin, but the treaty of Portsmouth divid ed the island equally between the two powers and let Japan keep the Kuriles, where she built naval bases. After the Bolshevik revolution In 1917 the Japanese took the north ern (Russian) half of Sakhalin but later were forced to give it back. Japan kept mining conces sions, however, to exploit the newly discovered oil, and did not give these up until" 1944 when a case of cold feet persuaded her to re turn them to Russia 26 years ahead of time. Americans are somewhat dis turbed because Secretary of State Byrnes revealed yesterday that at Yalta President Roosevelt agreed that if Russia should come into the Pacific war against Japan she should, be. given the Kuriles which Control Siberian access to the Pacific. Actually, Mr. Byrnes revealed much the same thing last Sep Establishment Of Clinic For Mental Cases Urged The use of USO buildings by community agencies and the estab lishment of a Mental clinic and Domestic Relations court were dis cussed yesterday by the Communi ty council in the assembly rooms of Community Chest .Tide Water building. Rabbi Samuel A. Freidman, chairman o£ the council, said the idea of a mental clinic was launch ed a week ago when delegates of the council and the Community Chest spoke In favor of the idea at a joint-meeting of the two groups. He appointed Mrs. Harris New man and Mrs. William M. Hen derson, chairman of the Health and Welfare divisions of the coun cil respectively to form a commit tee, study the project and work with the North Carolina Mental Hygiene society in the formula tion of plans for a local clinic. A committee, of which the Rev. Mortimer Glover will serve as chairman, was appointed to work toward the establishment of a Court of Domestic Relations. It was suggested at the meeting that it might be possible to combine the city and county Juvenile courts with the new court because, it was pointed out, many problems in volving juveniles also involve their parents. Spurgeon Baxley, chairman of | the recreation committee division, reported that the city council had I received with favor the recom mendations of the division for the local use of white and Negro USO buildings by community agencies. At the present time, Baxley pointed out, city officials are ne gotiating with the federal govern ment in behalf of the Shaw boy’s club for the Negro unit at Ninth and Nixon streets. This unit, closed operations in December. Baxley also said he had been in formed that the USO at Second tember when he announced the United States would support Rus sia’s claim to certain islands north of Japan, and disclosed that the Big Three had discussed this at Yalta. He said then that the United States was not opposed to the Russian occupation of the Kurile chain and the Japanese half of Sakhalin after Japan’s sur render. Mr. Byrnes has given every indi cation that the implementation of this executive agreement will depend upon a future treaty, which must be ratified by the U. S. Sen ate if this country is a signatory. Those who might argue that Rus sia has no business in the Kuriles have only to imagine the attitude of this country if a similar string of islands locked in either Ameri can coast, from Newfoundland to Florida, or from Alaska to lower California. and, Orange streets would discon tinue operations in April or May. Members of the council also agreed to extend an invitation to the Inter-Racial Ministerial alli ance to become a member agency of the council. At the present time there are 17 organisations repres ented in the council having a total membership of 92 delegates. Meetings of the entire council have been set for April and October The executive committee will meet the first Thursday of each month; the recreation division on the sec ond Wednesday and the Health and Welfare division on the third and fourth Tuesdays respectively.
