Over 50 Applications
On File for Postwar
Foreign Air Routes
Ey the Associated Press.

Nearly twice as many companies
want to fly the Stars and Stripes
to foreign lands as now carry 1t
over the United States.
Before the war only one COM
pany-Pan American AirWays-
bore the flag regularly across the
seas. but its routes reached to most
of the globe and totaled more than
twice the length of the 41.000 miles
Of certified airways in this country
flown by II domestic carriers.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
which grants route certificates, both
domestic and foreign-the latter
only with the approval of the Pres
ident-already has on file more
than so requests for new routes or
extensions sought by % applicants
All Exceed Old Limits.
Among them are every large do
mestic air carrier, all of which are
flying beyond their normal route
limits because OF war transportation
demands and some of which are
successfully spanning oceans in all
directions under contract for the
military services. Also among the
applicants are various surface car
riers, including a trucking COM
pany that wants to haul freight to
foreign points by air.
The pending applications call for
new routes to Alaska, Toxic. Cal
cutta. London, Paris, Honolulu
Manila, Chungking, Delhi and all
OF Canada and Latin America.
Negotiations Involved.
The question is: Who shall do
the flying? International air routes
involve negotiations with foreign
countries, and in many cases
reciprocal rights.
President Roosevelt has said he
and Prime Minister Churchill are
agreed on freedom of the air. As
he described freedom of the air, it
would permit foreign carriers what
is known as commercial transit or
innocent passage-the right to re-
fuel and service any alrplane, but
not to discharge or take on pas
sengers or cargo inside our borders
Sixteen domestic airlines have
united in a committee to fight for
the right to engage in international
air transport. The remaining do
mesitc carrier, United Air Lines. has
come out for monopoly from OF
participation in foreign operations
declaring that private business
should not interfere with interna-
tional negotiations.

has been limited by difficulties of
transportation. She knows that sub
Stantial aid will be forthcoming as
soon as poSsible-aid not only in the
form of weapons and supplies. but
also in carrying out plans already
made for offensive, effective action.
We and our Allies will aim our
forces at the heart of Japan-in
ever increasing strength until the
! common enemy is driven from
China soil.
Morale of Chinese Is Vital.
But Chinas resistance does not
depend alone on guns and planes
and on attacks on land. on the sea
and from the air. II is based as
much in the spirit of her people and
her faith in her allies. We owe it
to the Chinese to strengthen that
faith. One step in this direction is
to wipe from the statute books those
anachronlSms in our law which for
bid the immigration of Chinese
people into this country and which
bar Chinese residents from Ameri-
can citizenship.
Nations. like individuals, make
mistakes We must be big enough
to acknowledge our mistakes of the
ma and n cnrrept t}1ar,,
BY the repeal of the Chinese
exclusion laws, we can correct a his
toric mistake and silence the dis
/ torted japanese propaganda. The
enactment of legislation now pend
ing before the Congress would put
Chinese immigrants on parity with
| those from other countries. The
Chinese quota would, therefore. be
only about 100 immigrants a year
There can be no reasonable appre-
! henSion that any such number OF
immigrants will cause unemployment
or provide competition in the search
for jobs
Held Entitled to Preference.
THE extension of the privileges OF
citizenship to the relatively few
Chinese residents in our country
would operate as another meaning
full display of friendship. 1t would
be additional proof that we regard
China not only as partner in
Waging war but that we shall regard
her as partner in days of peace
While it would give the Chinese a
preferred status over certain other
Oriental people, their great contri-
button to the cause of decency and
freedom entities them to such pref
erence.
Il feel confident that Congress
is in full agreement that these
measures-long overdue-should be
taken to correct an injustice to our
friends. Action by the Congress
now will be an earnest of our pur-
pose to apply the policy of the good
neighbor to our relations with other
people"

The present level need not mark the

Stable Wholesale Commodity Prices

More Active Wholesale Markets

the number of buyers present was
off sharply. the combined effect Of
cooler weather, which induced re-
ordering, and exceptionally heavy
mail ordering maintained a sub

of the mail orders were reported
going untitled. Unfavorable delivery
schedules continued with more
houses refusing to accept advance

Justice Stone appears to be in
excellent health after a summer
vacation in New England. He has
not been absent once from the
bench because of illness since early
in 1887.
Friends say he will continue to
serve as Chief Justice as long as his
health permits.
A New England Republican, he
was appointed an associate justice in

cutting 1t said 1880 men were
needed in United States forests and
10000 in the Canadian woods.
The large deficit certain to exist
unless requirements are diminished
and production increased points to
the necessity of further curtailment

field of pulpwood paper products, s.
the report said, The percentages

So Per Cent Reduction.
Ii the total deficit were to be met
by uniform percentage curtailments
of all printing and wrapping paper

these papers would have to be
slashed an additional 50 per cent in
1914 the report stated
The War Production Board today
released statement from A. B
Hansen, deputy director of WPB S
pup am pupNl ioGll4S Via
August deliveries of pulpWood to do
mestic mills were up slightly more
than seasonal, as compared with
July, rejecting results of the news
paper industry campaign to induce
farmers and small woodland owners
to engage in cutting pulpwood.
Mr.. Hansen said. however, that
these reports should not lead to
any kind of optimism. At best they
represent merely change in trend
in pulpWood production which was
steadily downward for the first six
months of the year" He added that
the major production job must nee
essarily be done by the industry"
The ANPA statement said that
the Tariff Act declared standard
newsprint paper" to be duty free,
but failed to define newsprint.
Curbed by Rulings.
1--WE call your attention to the
facts which support our contention
that it was the clearly expressed
purpose Of Congress to admit free
OF duty, under the term standard
newsprint paper that kind of print
ing paper on which newspapers are
printed" the statement said.
Notwithstanding that fact. the
Treasury Department by series of
definitions and limitations defined
standard newsprint paper in such
a manner that it has not permitted
the importation Of newsprint that
varies from narrow and rigid stand
ards In essence, these restrictions
mean that if neWsprint is not made
Of certain components, in certain
weights, in certain percentages and
in certain widths of printing rolls,
it cannot be admitted duty free.
This has resulted in a practical
closure to improvement in printing
qualities to the conservation of ma

newspapers to the many thousands
of citizens who are eager for in
formation, education and entertain

Supreme CourtAgrees
To Rule on Status
Of Army 0bjector
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court agreed today
to determine whether a draft regis
trant was taken legally into the
Army when the induction oath was
read to him after he had refused
to take it.
This was one of approximately 300
review petitions acted on today by
the tribunal. 1t involved Arthur
Goodwin Billings, former teacher
at the University of Texas, who
described himself as conscientious
objector.
The court declined to pass on a
flve-year penitentiary sentence given
Walter Ford Gormly of Milwaukee
for refusing to report for work at a
conscientious objectors camp. He
contended that such work would
make him "a participant in the
war machine and an accessory to
murder on the battlefield"
Threat Case Deferred.
The justices deferred action on
petition by William T. Reid of New
Orleans, convicted on charge of
threatening to kill President Roose-
welt. Reid was sentenced to ID
months imprisonment.
Among other actions, the court
agreed to pass on decision which
sustained Massachusetts, legislation
prohibiting parent or guardian
from furnishing literature to child
for sale in any street or public
place. The legislation was chal-
lenged by a member Of "Jehovah's
Witnesses at Brockton.
But the tribunal refused to re-
consider it's June 81 decision that
mere membership in the Communist
Party is not an adequate ground for
canceling United States citizenship
obtained by an alien. Solicitor Gen
erai Charles Fahy sought the re-
hearing, contending that William
Schneiderman. state secretary of
the Communist Party for California
and native of Russia. was noS
entitled to citizenship obtained in
1927 because he was a member OF
an organization which disbelieved in
organized government"
Argument Dates to Be Set.
Cases which the tribunal agreed
to review will be set for argument
within the next few months, alter
which written opinion will be de-
liverei. Denial of review means
that the decision appealed from re-
ma ins in effect.
Billings said he notified his Ottawa
County tkansJ Draft Board on his
registration card that he would
never serve in the Army After being
denied reclassification as a consci-
entious objector on the ground that
his objection to war was rational
rather than religious"
He said that he intended, when
he reported at Fort Leavenworth
for the final physical examination
to refuse to be inducted. If he
passed, and to submit himself to
civil authorities for punishment.
Instead, he said the oath was
read to him and then he was locked
up for court t-martial
