Plans Worry
Britishers
BY RIsONxSALIsBURY
United Press Staff Correspondent

London, July 16. (UP)-Increas-
ing concern among important bodies
of the British public regarding pos
sible imperialistic policies of the
United States after the war is re-
flected in the growth of parlia-
mentary and press discussions of
such vital issues as postwar air
transport shipping bases, application
of Atlantic Charter and principle
and questions on lend-leaSe settle
ment.
1t is no mere coincidence that
parliamentarianS are directing sharp
edged questions to government Of
ficials on what Britain's shipping
position will be after the war with
possibly 100000 tons compared to
a minimum 100000 United States
tons. This especially is Worrisome
since American ships will be much
newer and more efficient cargo car
riers than the remnants Of the once
proud red buster fleet.
The same worry lies behind the
anxious inquiries regarding United
States air transport after the war.
It now is obvious the American air
transport corps will emerge with
the worlds most experienced and
best equipped transport service.
Other vital questions concern the
retention of certain portions Of
enemy territory--such as the United
States present bases in the Pacific
Islands.
When Sir Archibald Southby asks
the government whether it may not
be necessary for Britain to retain
parts of present enemy territory, he
obviously refers to such points as
the North Coast of Africa, Pantel-
leria and possibly Sicily.
In this connection, the Atlantic

Drafting OF Fathers
Is Still a Headache
BY FRED MULLEN

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, July l6-(UP)-The
Selective Service system still was de-
batting today the question of whether
it will have to draft fathers.
There were reliable reports from
other quarters that the armed forces
have so revised their manpoWer
plans that general drafting of the
pre-Pearl Harbor father will not be
necessary.
1t is probable that Selective Serv-
ice officials and War ManpoWer
Chief Paul V. McNutt have not yet
been taken into confidence by the
high commands, or, if they have,
they are not talking about it.
The latest Selective Service inven-
tory shows that 100000 men and
women are in uniform. Selective
Service says this number will reach
100000 by Dec. 81, leaving $780,
900 still to be found.
Nearly 100000 Men d..
Already there are 1,566,000 men in

after making allowances for rejec-

classifications on appeals, only
enough will be left to fill the calls
of three months.
Just how many men this is was
not divulged, because, Maj. Emmett
