BY COLIN BEDNALL.
Aviation Expert. London Daily Mall.
LONDON, April 2s-Reaction in
England to an article in the London
Daily Mail to make Britons COM
mercia1ly air. conscious has been di-
versified, but in all cases strong.
1t Is worth noting that prominent
among the letters of approval were
many from flying personnel in the
Raj for whom the future holds
little hope If British aviation in
peace is to fall short of its great
ness in wer.
"A minority Of those who offered
comment and fresh evidence de-
clared that the article did an in
justice to the planning and prepa-
rations already put in hand by the
authorities. This minority, how
ever, was important because it con-
sisted almost entirely of the author
tiles themselves.
Making Technical Studies.
1t is always very difficult for gov
ernment departments to show their
hand in any controversy which en-
broils them, but during the past
week I have been convinced that
both the Air Ministry and the Min
istry of Aircraft Production are do
ing more work on certain technical
aspects of postwar aviation than is
generally known.
But the very fact that their work
has not been made known seems in
itself to justify the Daily Mails
original conclusion that the govern
ment has no policy on civil aviation
which IS in any way commensurate
with its Importance to the whole
future of the British Empire after
the war.
Nobody could be expected to
think otherwise when he discovers
as I did, that the planning of our
future Merchant Air Service, along
with all the other diverse postwar
projects, remains primarily the re-
sponsibility of the paymaster gen.
eral.
Quite obviously, the Government
has no minister sufficiently clear of
other duties to handle the matter.
Asks Advisory Council.
More strongly than ever. there
fore, the Daily Mail asks that, as
a preliminary approach, the gov
ernnent should set up Immediately
a Merchant Air Service Advisory
Council.
Such council might eventually
function for peace as the present
Air Council does for war. It's first
and most urgent task, however,
should be to produce plans for the
basic types of airliner which would

Water Department Will
Be Separate City Unit

Henceforth, and as a result OF
action taken by the City Councll
Thursday, the city's water ana
sewage department will operate
as a separate unit of the city or
ganization and more in the manner
of a privately-owned utility.
BY virtue of the change, taxes
will be charged against the de-
partment, depreciation costs charg-
ed to it, revenue collected by 1t,
and the unit will function otherwise
in completely independent fashion.
It's monies will be entirely sep
arate from the city's general fund.
1t was explained that the re-
vised set-up would amount to a
different method of accounting, "
that will show whether or not the
department is making or losing
money. The accounting figures re-
sulting from the changed proce-
dure will indicate whether or not
there is need for altering the
present water rate.
I'VE hope that by this very con,
structive measure the water ano
sewage department may be hand
led on more business-like basis
Mayor Bruce B. Cameron com
mented. SIT may mean a saving
for our taxpayers.
81 do not think We should an
ticipate the control Of another
utility until we have demonstrate
ed our ability to manage the water
department satisfactorily" he add
ed.
The proposal to change the sta
tus of the department was made
by Councilman Robert r. Romeo
supported by W. Ronald Lane, ane
considered favorably by all othe1
members.
It was made plain that the re
vision would not involve change
in personnel.
The council approved the sug

commentator, Col. Nikola' Akimov,
again touched on the subject of
an Allied second 'front.' in Eu-
rope.

cesses," he said, ''hhave made the
situation more favorable than ever
for an invasion of Europe by Brit
ish and American troops.

present situation and strike while

Asked if Secretary Eden was not
being too optimistic" about the
proceedings and their outcome, the
British spokesman said:
up to this point I would say
no."
The spokesman had said yester-
day that the conference was not
solely to lay the groundwork for
a future meeting Of President
Roosevelt. Prime Minister Church
i'll and Premier Joseph Stain. He
explained today that he did not
mean that that was not being done.
ST would say that, too, will be
included" he added today.
With the sessions now getting
down to routine, Hull's and Eden S
days are about the same. They
hold business meetings with their
advisers and stats in the morning
until lunch, then go to meetings
with Molotov in the afternoon. Fol-
lowing these three-way talks Hull
and Eden again meet their staffs
and discuss what took place.
There has been no separate
meeting of Hull and Eden since
the two reached Moscow, and 1T
was suggested strongly that there
would not be any such meeting
between them.
"This is meeting of the three
powers secretaries, not any two, y
a spokesman said.
The impression prevailed that a
good many subjects would be gone
over thoroughly by the three for
eign ministers, with any tentative
agreements reached to be referred
back to the legislative bodies OF
the United States and Britain.

bility of restoring the city's aban-

and garbage at the dump was said
to be encouraging an increase in
rodents. The incinerator was aban-
doned a year ago due to disin-
tegration of the equipment.
Improvements in the operation
OF the Greenfield springs were
considered, and City Manager A.

which it was disclosed that the
Rev. E. L. Bradley had been NAM

posed addition to the USO club

morning before going to the con-
ference.
The United States secretary
again got a good nights sleep and
was up early for breakfast where
he expressed himself as eager to
again tackle the days business.
AS the three ministers 60 deeper
into issues, the sessions are likely
to become longer. Hull has no OBJ
lection to this, but he does like to
get home, according to his Gus
tom, for early retirement.
The Russians, who are showing
every consideration to their r.
year-old American guest, probably
will alter their routine of working
late at night and stick to long aft
ernoon conferences. In that case
it is believed the conference will
last longer than the original estl-
mate Of two weeks, and Hull and
Eden may be here on the occasion
of the Soviets' great holiday No

As Both Ward And Protector Of U. S., Puerto Rico Is Not Candidate For Independence

bo.- the Army and the Navy have recognized this and acted upon it. EXCLUSIVELY AMERICAN
 Only by a surprise improbable since Pearl Harbor could Nazi car- rier get close enough to lcOse a swarm of bombers against the ca- nal, so long as we control and uti- lize Puerto Rico.
 Of all important defensive bases in the Caribbean, this is the only one which is all-Alnerican, regard less of how international alliances might be reshuffled at some future time.
 These considerations tend to make the pure dollars-and-ce viewpoint seem nercenary and aca- dernic, and they lead critics to brand Governor Tugwell as shortsighted.
 They suggested that the rehabili- tation of Puerto Rico, at whatever cost may be required, has implica- tions more than charitable; that probably our military men will op- pose any suggestion that the island be cast off; and that while Puerto Rico remains part of the United States, we cannot afford to permit either human misery or resentment against an individual to breed i'll will among her citizenry.

 Observers guess that if inde- pendence, or statehood, or a choice, were offered to Puerto Rico by plebiscite, the decision would de- pend upon the attitude of whatever politicians happened to be in favor They do not believe most voters care much either way.
 Luis Munoz Marin, current leader, stands for independence. But it is suggested that he, like others who have made similar demands, would run like a rabbit" if he were Of. fered what he seeks.
 DEPEND ON U. S. AID
 Meanwhile, even those who claim to want independence are offended at having a governor who considers Puerto Rico undesirable.
 The average informed islander realizes that, for years to come, only preferential economic arrange ments with the United States can save their economy from complete breakdown; that such preference is unlikely in the event Of inde- pendence; and that only large Fed eral subsidies can avert quick starr vation until some means of domestic self f-support has been established.
 On a dollar -and-cents basis, uIl- uuest.onably Puerto Rico is 8 lia- bility to the Federal treasury. But this war has taught that some things cannot be judged purely by fiscal bookkeeping results.

PNEUMONIA CASES
 HERE LEAD STATE
Eleven Reported During Past Week; 6 During
 Month of December

City Health Officer Edward JA Godfrey said today that there is aS temporary lull in the pneumonia wave, but expressed the opinion that there would be more cases pe- fore the siege is over.
 The health officer noted that US pneumonia cases reported during December was high total for the city. Last weeks figures disclose that Waterbury is still leading the state in cases, eleven more having been reported. However, pr. God frey pointed out that only two cases have been fatal this year, as colri- pared with three fatalities recorded a year ago.
 Lack of sufficient heat in homes and places of business is one prom inent cause of the pneumonia flare up, Dr. Godfrey asserted, although the lower resistance brought about by hard work and fewer hours or sleep is @ contributing cause.
