THAT meeting OF the United

New Hampshire is session OF
the peace conference.
Whatever is agreed upon will
be clauses Of the peace among
nations.
Any such document should be
submitted TO the Senate for
ratification in accordance with
the Constitution OF the United
States.
There may never be a formal
peace congress because confer
ences are being held all the time
among the Allied countries for
mulating the terms of peace.
There has already been such
a conference concerning the
Caribbean areas. We know very
little as to what arrangements
have been made concerning the
air and naval bases that the
United States has established in
that region at great expense to
the American taxpayer.
Another conference has been

This country. as a war meas
ure, has been building airports
in all parts Of the world.
The question arises: When the
war is over, do those airports
belong 10 us or do they become
the property of the countries in
which they are situated?
Will American commercial
airplanes be permitted to land
on airfields that American
money and American manpower
built or will such fields be closed
TO American planes and open
only TO our competitors?
Will European planes be per-
mitted to pick up customers
all over the United States or
only at points Of entry?
The United States supplies
about Is per cent Of all air
travel.
Shall we keep the whole or
part OF this business or are
we to suffer from European,
Asiatic and South American
competition in our own coun-
try?

L tions are being discussed
and considered right now and
