Fighting for Control

CHICAGO, April 14-The expan-
sion Of commercial aviation in the
postwar era-after nations change
from warplane production to manu-
facture Of civilian air equipment
will bring intense competition for
world air routes, United Air Lines
President w. A. Patterson says.
He told stockholders yesterday
that rivalry for Atlantic
routes especially would be keen,
with eight to 10 companies fighting
for air traffic supremacy between
the United States and Europe and
Africa.
The airlines president described
the future of aviation as almost
limitless," but he told the stock
holders that some people have al
lowed their enthusiasm to overcome
their better judgment in predicting
the end of railroad and steamship
operations. Trains of cargo gliders
still are too far in the future to
consider commercially, Mr.. Patter-
son said.
He predicted, however, that within
10 years domestic airlines will carry
80 per cent of the Nations first
class passengers, IS per cent of all
first-class mail moving fore than
$50 miles and so per cent of all ex-
press packages. BY such an expan-
sion in business. he said, his COM
pany alone would require a feet Of
$3.50 planes. compared with $50 at
the beginning of the war.
Mr.. Patterson asserted there was
not the slightest indication the
Government is contemplating TAX
ing over the domestic lines either
now or after the war, but he added
that future conditions may make
it desirable for close Government
ties with trans-ocean service.
Whether we have Government
ownership depends on the type of
postwar competition and the gov
eminent involved" he said. There
will be scramble for routes after
the war. The United States lines
are fortunate. in that Federal regu-
lations undoubtedly will prevent
premature and uneconomic develop

In addition, the communique said,

The Japanese claims were totally
without confirmation from any Al

they destroyed is a gross exaggera-

BiddIe Calls on Italy
10 Cease Dying for
Glory Of Germany
Attorney General Accepts
Four Freedoms Award
From Labor Council
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 14.-Attorney
General Biddle said last night the
Italians should cease dying for
Germany" and welcome the army
Of liberation bringing freedom to the
conquered land of Italy"
Mr.. Biddle addressed the italian
American Labor Council, which pre-
sented him the first four freedoms
annual award. The presentation
was made by Justice William o.
Douglas of the Supreme Court.
To-day the glory that Mussolini
once promised echoes bitterly in
Italian ears" the Attorney General
said in his prepared talk. GLORY?
What a glorious opportunity the
German war machine held out to
those Italian divisions which Musso-
lini poured into battle at Hitler's
command! The opportunity to
cover the German retreat in Rus
sian, from Alamein-anywhere in
which dying might serve to spare
German lives! Yes, the opportu-
nifty to serve as protectors and
saviors of the super race. Hitler
has been most generous in dis
pensing that opportunity.
Time to Shed Mantle.
1T is time that the Italian SOL
dier and sailor cast off this mantle
of glory-the glory Of dying for
Germany-so that it may be worn
by those who most deserve 1.-THE
German. Nazis themselves.
The time may not be long. Even
now the bell tolls and each man
must make his choice. Death will
come, and suffering in the barri-
caded streets. But there will be the
marching of feet of the mighty army
of liberation, the army of liberation
bringing freedom to the conquered
land of Italy. Each man must make
his choice-whether to accept that
army, or to follow the discredited
ranks of the weak tyrant who has
sold Italy to. her oppressors. We
then will know our friends-and we
will know our foes"
Calling for unity Of action, Mr..
Biddle said there is room in America
for the expression of individual
ideas and the futherance of special
programs but that separate leader
ship leads too often to rivalries,
rivalries to disunity."
Justice Douglas PreSideS
Introducing the Attorney General,
Justice Douglas said that today's
war lis war inside mems minds. 1t
is a war of ideas, a war spread hor-
ribly over the whole world" He
added:
What we are fighting today is
revolutionary reaction. It's tinge of
revolution has fooled some; it has
given false hope to various op-
pressed folk kept blind by their
rulers It's solid core of reaction has
appealed to others-not only to the
lovers of force but to those who hate
or fear the people and the people S
power"
Justice Douglas declared that
America could never hate and de-
spise the Italian people, but that
it is fighting "an Italian regime
that has delivered its people into
bondage and humiliated,, before the
whole world, the proud name of its
nation..' --'-'-
