Writing In the American Maya
nine Mar. wallace states that It is
vital for the United Nations cove
mant to provide the machinery to
assure freedom from fear" He
cites the need for ian international
law, an international peace court
and an international peace force"
If any aggressor nations take the
Grst step toward rearmament," he
writes, "they must be served at once
with q cease and deSiSt" order and
% warned Of the consequences. II
economic quarantine does not suf-
nee, the United Nations peace force
must at once bomb the aggressor
nation nercilessly."
10 prevent worldwide unemploy-
iment after the war the Vice Presi-
dent foresees the need Of q United
Nations investment corporation I'M
der whose direction private and
public capital can be put to work
FOR worldwide reconstruction. Con-
tending that this will not necessar-
sly mean the reduction Of private
initiative but on the contrary will
probably increase It, he writes:
I'm launching such an investment
program, the establishment OF net
work Of globe-girdling airways
ought to be the very first order Of
business. The airways I visualize
would have as their primary justin
cation the safeguarding Of world
peace. They would be operated by
the air arm Of the United Nations
peace force. To maintain military
air force with nothing to do but
wait for some nations act Of ag-
erosion would be q big expense
and would give the young men COM
posing such force enough to do.
Instead, after these young men
have undergone the necessary mill
tary training, they can serve as the
air and ground crews Of the United
Nations air network, which In
peactine would be commercial and
would carry passengers and freight
These airways, because Of their
vial function in safeguarding the
peace, would not be expected to pay
their own way on the ordinary COM
anercial basis. In any event, the
cost Of maintaining q military air
8crce In idleneSs; and the use OF
the airways to safeguard the peace
would largely free them from the
handicaps and risks Of ordinary
commercial development. Either a
military air force alone or COM
n 3rcial air system alone would be
more costly and less effective than
che combination Of the two.
When the war ends the United
Ma Ions will be at the peak Of a
great airplane construction pro-
gram. Doubtless some Of the bomb
or and fighter planes viii be re-
teined and will become part Of the
equipment Of the United Nations
ne ace force. They will not be suit
mtse FOR carrying passengers and
freight. But under the present air
plane program we are also con-
STRUGGLING thousands Of transport
planes. Many Of these could be
easily adapted to the use OF the
United Nations Always. Further
more our tremendous airplane con-
styuction capacity will make It pos
0inle 10 turn out any needed num-
bGss md types Of planes.
after the peace Of the world has
been made secure, 1t should be pos

TO the world Of the future what
freedom Of the sea meant to the
wStld of the past"
After outlining in detail the four
basic cir routes he visualiZes for
Che future world network, the Vice
President states that with these
81. ways heavily subsidized for rea.
eo.l3 Of military security, 1t should
be possible to carry passengers and
certain types Of freight at very at
Err ctive rates"
New airports, he points out, will
