GREETINGS
5Count Bern adotte
(Editorial in The Christian Science
Monitor)
Count Folke Bernadotte gave
‘lwisdom. courage. and devotion to
'his task as United Nations me
‘diator in Palestine. How much
wisdom was shown‘in the unex
'pocted success which established
“two truces between Jews and
‘Arabs. How much courage was
:disclosed by his continued negotia
=tions with fanatic fighters and his
fearless journeying in trigger-hap
py areas. How much devotion is
nmv counted in the last full meas-
ure exacted by the shooting at
q Jerusalem.
Men "in the uniform of the Jew
iish Army" are reported respon
jsible for the killing of Count Ber
!nadotte and an other UN official.
:Without more inormation it must
:be assumed that the shooting was
an accident or that the men were
§Stern Gang members in disguise.
In is reported that the Stern Gang
{had threatened the Count. In any
lease. the Zionist cause will suffer
{unless the Israeli Government
takes effective measures to pre
went any further attacks on UN
officials.
: Count Bernadette gave to peace
i'making the energy other men gave
to warmaking. Nephew of the
:King of Sweden. after a somewhat
§frivolous youth he turned to pub
ilic service, becoming active in Boy
iScout work and head of the Swed-
Iish equivalent of the USO. As an
officer of the International Red
1Cross he made dangerous journeys
during the war into bomb-splashed
lGermany to handle the exchange
lof prisoners. That work led to his
grcle as the negotiator of peace
‘with the Germans. A
’ Count Bernadette is only the
{most distinguished of several UN
lofficials who have given their lives
‘ir. the effort to make peace in Pal
iestine. Maude Boyden once pro
posed a “peace army" of vo-Iun
‘lters to go and stand physically be
tween the line of warring nations.
The UN mediators have made that
kind of sacrifice. A peace-hungry

International Fund
’To Honor Memory ’
iOf Count B'ernadotte
STOCKHOLM. Sept. 22. (By
wirelesle-In honor of the mem
ory of Count Folke Bernadotte.
the Swedish European Aid organ
ization has issued an appeal for
the collection of an international
fund which will be used to serve
the interests of peace and human
ity. for which Count Bernadette
worked and fell.
The manifesto reads: “It is our
firm conviction that Swedish men
and women. private and official.
as well as groups and organiza—
fions. fired by Folke Bernadotte‘s
life work. will be happy to con
tribute to this fund. thereby show
ing the world that our people has
taken an intimate part in the work
for international peace which he.
in the name of the United Nations.
was appointed to exedute and for
which he sacrificed his life.
"We are also convinced that peo
ple in many countries will long re
member Folke Bernadotte's work
in connection with the liberation
of the victims of the concentra
tion camps, and his contribution to
humanity and peace. Which form
a contribution from other coun
tries will take is still to be inves
tigated."
In collaboration with the Swed-
humanity would do well to honor
them highly. It can do so most
effectively by giving more active
support to UN and to all genuine
peacemaking by combating in it
self the ignorant prejudices and
selfish fears which pervert patriot
ism.

Something to
Think Abouf!
Puget Power’s total taxes
amounted to about 2‘6 mulls
per kilowatt-hour sold tor the
year 1947. Under Bonneville‘s
$l750 per kilowatt-year rote,
the unit cost per kilowatt-hour
at on 80% load factor is 2.5
mills and the cost decreases to
2 mills at 100% load factor.
It's something to think ab0ut
when the taxes Puget Power
pays to various branches of
government exceed the pr-ce at
which government power is sold.
