Priorities FOR Air Mail

y Y DOING two things about air mail service, the
ID federal government take effective step
toward improving the effort the home front
First, airplanes should be alocated TO the
domestic airines service
Second air mail should be given limited priority in
the of air transport facilities
Earlier in the war planes for civilian would
probably have been out of the question.
The problem then was to attain mass production of
all types of combat planes and to equip and supply
expanding fighting forces and Allies
That problem has been mastered and it is most
likely that military naval necessities would suffer If
the airlines TO be helped
w against priortes given to essential passengers
and air express and air mail is frequently removed
withheld from planes and subjected to delays.
One passenger may dsplace 200 pounds of air mail
and the air mail itself may consist of specifications
other material directly connected with production
There Is such condition in Canada.
In that competent country FIRST CLASS air mail,
which relatively small in bulk has priority OVER ALL
OTHER AIR TRAFFIC and may not be displaced for any
purpose at all.
Other maabe material has such priority and
not assured of transport though it carries
mail postage
No laws reuLLcd mako these simple changes
The War Production Board has authority TO allocate
reasonable number OF new planes 20 the air services
The post office department can establish priority for

AnsIo-American Alliance
Over!ooks Air Power
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, S @ p l. o
" Prime Minister Churchill
virtually announced Harvard
Specch5 that ne and President
Roosevelt had agreed 10 con-
tinue the Anglo-American war
alliance for a good many years,
until a greater assurance of
world peace and security could
be established.
At least ne SAID il would be
foolish of Mr. Roosevelt and
himself not 10 agree on this As
he came directly from weeks Of
Roosevelt conferences. 1t must
be assumed that such Is the ac-
cepted trend of postwar arrange

Earlier, Gov. Dewey had taken
a stand amid Republicans al

they do not.
The Lippmann scheme is

IN A preceding note, / have called attention
to John Hays famous dictum that Ameri-
can foreign policy could be adequately defined
as the Monroe Doctrine and the observance
of the Golden Rule between nations.
Certainly the Monroe Doctrine has for
more than 100 years been the central principle
Of American foreign policy. II was adopted
in the days of our military weakness when
we were a small nation. Fortunately, it had
British support although the government of
Great Britain sometimes violated it. 1t was
directed to preserving the independence of
the countries of this hemisphere which had
revolted from Spain against renewed attack
TO suppress them and against the intrigues
of all foreign countries to disturb their life
or to deprive them of their territory.
However, there were periods when we
seemed Indifferent to European actions in
America that in recent decades we have
in the last century the doctrine almost fell
into that condition, which the very stout and
outspoken president of the United States,
Grover Cleveland, would have called "in-
nocuous desuetude." 1t was Cleveland him
seif-whe suddenly, and startlingly, revived
the doctrine against British encroachment in
Venezuela in 1896
Dangerous as Clevelands action was, it
succeeded in defending this principle, and it
brought about a prompt understanding be-
tween the American and British peoples which
was destined 10 transform the relations be-
tween these two countries.

ment has used the doctrine TO the detriment
of other American countries. | do not find
that we have ever sought to divide and rule

However, back of the doctrine seems TO
have lain a purpose to liquidate, as occasion

Islands, in 1867, that great empire retired
