INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT

According to Josh Lee member of the Civil Aeronautics Board, the chief problems that require solution by the Government and soon if air cargo IS to play its destined role in the world trade are
 l. The freedom of innocent passage, established through multilateral agreement Meaning that non- military carft would have the right to fly nonstop through the air space over any country with which such an agreement has been reached
 g. The right of technical stop, established through multilatera agreement. Meaning the right to stop for fuel, repairs, bad weather or an emergency
 g. The right of commercial stop for scheduled operators Meaning the right to land at specified bases for the purpose of taking and discharging traffic for regular airline operation.
 f. The right of commercial stop for non-sched- uled operators. This would be for the benefit of charter and contract operators.
 5. The right to establish and use international

MACARTHUR AND LODGE

The drive for Macarthur for President and Senator Cabot Lodge for President has brought some interesting reactions, accord ing to L. w. Mccormick, it's first public sponsor.
 Mccormick sent out 5000 letters to Republican chairmen and local leaders all over the country About 800 replies have now been received all of them favorable regarding Macarthur, but not all so strong fol Lodge. A good many referred to the young Senator's famous grand father, Henry Cabot Lodge, ST. who upset Wilson's peace plans They commented that young Lodge was too much like his grandfather
 Mccormick is waiting for more replies and also telling those wht write him to get busy and organize Macarthur clubs.
 A good many politicoes see in the MacArthur-Lodg drive the hidden hand of Pennsylvania Joe Pew as part of his passion to stop Willkie Mccormick is an old friend and associate of Pew's and lives not fal from him in Pennsylvania. He emphatically denies, however, that Pew is behind his move.
 Senatorial colleagues of young Lodge are especially interested ir his MacArthur hook-up in view oi the speech he made following his return from Australia in which ht blasted Russia for not giving thI country bases in Siberia. He in dicated that MacArthur had tolt him million American lives coult be saved if we had those bases.
 Later. it developed that Lodgt and other Senators had gone t see General Marshall, the Chief o Staff, before his speech, and Mar shall had warned that we could no keep Siberian bases two weeks ever ii Russia gave them to us, becauss Of Japans proximity. Also, Mar shall asked Lodge not to mention the matter because of certain deli cate questions then under discussion
 However, Lodge went ahead, any way Senatorial colleagues are nov wondering whether Lodge and Mac Arthur worked out deal on poll ties while together in Australia and if the Siberian base sound-of was part of their strategy.

 If our great plans for the rest of the world are not to fade out and if there will be victory ir 1914 then it is apparent that speedy action is needed these problems all of which must yet be solved before true international air transport goes into operation.
 Far-reaching plans being made along this line but the work of knocking down the barriers which will allow putting these plans into operation speedily, so that this industry will be able to absorb it's share of postwar unemployment, has hardly been started

Representative Frank Boykin of Alabama, proud possessor of the spurs Jesse James wore when he died, may not know that across the aisle, on the Republican side of the House chamber, sits a man who is distantly related to the famous Missouri character He is red headed Representative William c. i Cole of Missouri. Coles grand father was a second cousin of Jesse James mother
 Not long ago, Cole was approach 1 ed by cattleman at a livestock meeting at Columbia, Missouri. The stranger said he was from Clay 1 County, Missouri, where Jesse James lived
 'Is it true that you are relative of Jesse James," he asked Cole.
 "A very remote relative" replied the Congressman.

Maurice Latta, executive clerk of the White House, refused to ac- cept it. He declared that, under the law, he had to have the Presi- dents signature. A cabled order was no good. Anyone might be able to forge cablegram, Letta said, but nobody could successfully forge the Presidents signature. So seizure of the leather factories was held up until a written order was rushed back by plane from Cairo.
 NOTE-On the whole, it is re- markable how efficiently most ex- ecutive matters are handled even when the public has no idea the President is out of the country.

 HEART AND HOME: Women today may be inclined to indulge m regrets, fears and apprehenslons but positive thoughts should be prevalent in view of the promise 1 of the future. Under this conIlg- uration churches will benefit. Teachers of new ideas regarding the next plane of existence will gam many followers The trend toward spirituality will be widespread.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In bal ancing their books for the year businessmen will ponder over the changes in la43 prices and produc- ton which the Government dic- tated. Astrology foretells that past experiences will enable better man. agement in future under wartime conditions Continued prosperity may be expected until the end of l944.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Portents of great progress in the United States are discerned by the seers. Dis tinguished refugees, scholars and scientists, will contribute much to learning, while leaders in politics, business and professions will aid greatly in postwar reconstruction plans.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s Among the United Nations. unity of purpose and action will be more apparent as war crises prove the strength of their alliance. With relentless power the Army. Navy and Air Forces fighting for human liberty will meet desperate foes throughout the Winter.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ups and downs in their fortunes with sue cess finally attained.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have bright minds and re- liable characters. Many will pos sess unusual talents and all should enjoy happy lives.

MONDAY. DECEMBER 20

Benefic aspects rule today. after early morning, which should be fortunate for aviators. soldiers and the general public.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Shoppers will contend recklessly for coveted merchandise but may use poor judgment in buying. Despite Gov ernment warnings money will be spent generously on luxuries. There is sign which encourages the idea that the best time is now and the present is the only sure hope.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Owing to the number of absentees during the holiday season, nation wide discus sion of American women in indus try will be marked by anxiety. The stars, however, indicate that. after the first fortnight of the new year, women will prove their ability to share in wartime tasks
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Jupiter's present station in the midheaven of Stalin is extremely suspicious for the Russian leader and the Allies. April of next year should be most fortunate for the Premier. It has been previously forecast that so long as Stalin's will prevails there will be no insuper- able differences affecting the United Nations His sagacity and foresight are to prove of supreme importance next month.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of .extraor- dinary experiences that bring good fortune. They should press all their important ambitions.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceptionally talented and widely popular. Generous, hu- mane and fastidious, they have the promise of success.

Economic Questions

The ways and means committee
Of the house has only been able to
agree on methods OF raising one
| fifth Of the money which the governs
ment says IT Is necessary to have
to continue the war. Not only has
1t been unwilling to tax the highe4
brackets further but it also is afraid
to recommend the sales tax BED
cause that affects the largest grouI
Of voters-everybody.
Naturally the first thing that a citi1
zen leaps to defend is his pocket
book. The administration has at}
tempted to lay down as a goal d
maximum net income Of $25, 900 Ii
wartime, perhaps twice as much ID
peacetime. Now perhaps the Amer{
lean people don't want to put any
limit whatever on incentive. Never
theless. there Is always an outcry
against the accumulation Of wealth
and we know that when wealth bed
comes concentrated, panics result.
II the various influences resisting
taxation which win bring down their
ceiling on incomes succeed in fore.
ing congress TO defeat such laws, and
granted the rest of the people &C.
cept the defeat, democracy is not to
blame. The selfish group has won
and it has won, not because con.
gress wants to please a few voters
but because congress has been con-
vinced that the special interests are
represented by majority Of voters
lin other words, the majority wins.
Another current issue which is
very much before congress is the
threat to little business, Right now,
10 per cent of the war contracts are
held by about 100 firms.
Senator OMahonoy is proposing
a measure which would produce an
incentive on the part Of the invest
ors, that is, those with large capitals
TO spend, to invest in small rather
than large business; that would be
done by making taxes on big busi-
ness SO heavy so that the profits re-
sulting to the investor would not
be as large as if he had his money
In small business.
Small business has to be protect
cd, it is admitted, il free enterprise
in America is to continue. II any
single group or groups manage to
convince the elected officials OF the
country that they can muster
enough votes to defeat the people
who are responsible for such a tax
plan, 1t is obvious that the majority's
will will be frustrated. There again,
ii goes back to the individual. In
diWduals who do not vote destroy
the democratic processes by permit
ting a minority Of the people to be-
come the majority OF the voters.
