Posi- War AirIanes al
Post Now; Battles for
Control Routes Start
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 6.--Behlnd
the scenes, the first big guns OF
one of the greatest international
postwar battles are opening up
the fight for control--perhaps a
gentler word would be "distribu-
tion"--of the world airlines.
A week or so ago, a conference
between British and United States
representatives was held in Lon
don. Soon a similar conference will
be held here between U. S. and
Russian representatives. This is just
spade work After that the three
powers, possibly with delegates from
other friendly nations, will hold a
joint conference. Out of that may
come the pattern for distribution
of the world airlanes which could
easily determine the balance of
power in tomorrow's world trade.
Out of the London conference has
come nothing yet except that the
talks were highly satisfactory. :"
Since this is the American report,
observers here say it means the
British have made some ccnces-
sions," although concessions on
what isn't quite clear.
It's pretty generally agreed that
it may be the opening wedge in
postwar negotiations that, in the
long run, may be more important
than boundaries. forms of govern
ment and a good many other world
problems now belaboring the inter-
national thinkers.
The important thing at the mo-
ment is the man who is going to
front for us in these vital negotia-
tions. He is Assistant Secretary of
State Adolph T. Berle Jr.
Just turned 40, Berle is the
youngest assistant secretary in the
department but not in point of ini-
ternational experience. AS a cap
tain in World War I, he devoted his
time to intelligence and his spec
ial field was Poland. He was in the
delegation that attended the peace
conference at Versailles, AS New
York attorney, he gave much time
to international law, most of it
dealing with Latin America. Secre-
tary Hull had MIN along at the two
big pre-war hemisphere confer
ences which gave the Americas al
most a solid front against the Axis
when war came.
He was one of the first of the
New Deal brain trusters" and it is
believed that many of the early
New Deal policies were shaped

didn't say SO outside the Cabinet,
but inside he baked like Texas
steer at taking over Montgomery
Ward.
At first he proposed that Donald
Nelson, WPB boss, formerly head
of another mail order house, Sears
Roebuck, take over the recalcitrant
Chicago firm.
Nelson knows something about
the business" urged Jesse.
This was the last thing either
Nelson or the White House wanted,
because it would have looked as If
one mail order house was trying to
put its competitor out of business.
So Jones suggested that Secretary
Ickes take over Montgomery Ward.
Hes from Chicago" Jones urged.
Finally, however, Jones himself
consented, but baked at a further
step-namely, that he go out to
Chicago himself.
I'm not going out there and stick
my head in a moose" grunted the
Secretary of Commerce.
SO he sent Under Secretary of
Commerce Wayne Chatfield Taylor,
who was born in Chicago and lived
all his life in Chicago.
The day after troops moved into
Montgomery Ward and while At
torney General Biddle was busy with
judicial injunctions regarding seiz-
ure of the plant, Jones called Biddle
on the phone
II hear you've been wrapping
packages all day." he said.
