The delegates will have an op-
portunity to discuss the details IN

expected the remaining issues Will be
settled in the meantime.
Chief stumbling block is the con-
troversy over limitation of traffic
carrying capacity, the British plan
for dividing business. Behind that
particular problem, however, lies the
proposal, which Canada had sup
ported, for each nation to retain
the right to carry traffic originating
in it or destined for it. This has
been interpreted as preventing the
carrying of intermediate traffic and
is reported to be the biggest source
of dispute between the United States
and the British. Canada Is under
stood to have receded from its initial
stand.
AS an example of the problem
the British proposal would prevent
an American plane flying a route
from New York to Warsaw from
picking up passengers at intermedi-
ate stops on the outbound trip or

from carrying passengers part OF
the way on its return.
II that issue can be settled, an
official said, it will be possible to

The United States, Canada and
Great Britain did not commit them
selves to the proposal, although II
was reported they were fully agreed
on the published portion. Here
briefly is what the plan issued thus
far would do:
Establish the International Ali
Administration with an assembly

would award seven seats to nations

achieved by agriculture, labor, and
management working in cooperation
with governmental agencies which pro-
vided essential coordination, direction,
and regulation. In other words, govern
mental regulations is not the enemy of
human freedom, but in our interde-
pendent economy is rather Il necessary
condition for the actual realization Of
economic freedom for the many The
remedy for poor administration and
bureaucracy" in government is not a
return to the anarchy of laissez- -faire
or private monopoly. The cure is rather
to be found in more adequate and CON
tinuous representation of the great
functional groups i'm the processes and
agencies, both private and public, by
which our economy is directed and the
arrangements devised which condition
the welfare of all.
Before long we shall begin to demo
bilize this war economy. The shift to Il
peace-time basis presents our country
with staggering problems. Eleven mil
lion will have to be transferred from
the armed forces to peaCe7time jobs.
In three domestic ndustrieS-aircraft,
shipping, and munitions-we now en-
ploy six million people, the most opti-
mistic estimates for the postwar period
put the number needed in these lines
as not much over One-half million. Both
occupational and geographic re-diStri-
button of workers is involved i'm this
shift to the peace-ecOnOmy. Local, re-
gional, and single industry planning by
labor and management to meet this
crisis is absolutely essential but we
deceive ourselves if we think the job
can be done by these means alone The
national task of reconverSion must
have overall federal planning and
direction if we are not to experience
great suffering and chaos out of which
sin S ter, undemOcratic movements
might be born.
We can have overall planning and
direction only if private enterprise and
government can cooperate. That CO.
operation is overdue. Now that the
National Resources Planning Board
has been abolished, Il National Recon
version Administration should be
created at once. An Advisory Commits
sion composed of representatives of
professions should be associated with
it.
Labor should mobilize its full re-
sources to see that the legislative and
the executive branches of our Federal
Government cooperate to organize this
National ReconverSion Authority. 1t is
urgently needed if democracy is to win
the peace.
