Grant of 2 Bosic Freedoms
Left to Individual Assent

CHICAGO, Dec. 2 (P).-The World
Air Conference decided tentatively
today that granting of two basic
freedoms-the right to fly peacefully
and to make non-traffic stops
should be left to individual actions
by nations.
This step, which officials said was
completed except for formal draft
ing, appeared to end the effort to
reopen consultations for a general
world agreement to confer the
privilege of flying subject to certain
regulations for commercial opera

Air Treaty With Spain
Emphasizes Strategic
Route 10 Near East
BY w. HI. SHIPPEN, Jr.,
Aviation Editor, The Star.

afldtlDu GullOI, Lie 0LdI.
The United States and Spain yes
terday concluded a commercial air
pact which not only gives this coun-
try another European terminal but
promises to open a strategic gateway
to Africa, the Mediterranean and the
Near East.
In addition, the routes agreed on
include one which would link the
United States with Latin America
and the mother country" by way of
Africa.
The announcement came at time
when the World Air Conference at
Chicago was moving into its second
month with American and British
delegates unable to agree between
this country's wish to begin imme-
diate operations on a provisional
basis and the British desire for a
formal, restrictive plan

early as the spring of l943.
The pact was concluded with an
exchange of notes between Foreign
Minister Don Jose Felix de Lequerica
and Ambassador Carleton J. H.

Three Routes Provided.
United States planes may pick up

adventure, pattern which it occurs
to me ought to be drawn on paper and
posted in public places, moreover, cir
culated wide and far.
1t is claimed that appeal which
leads most men to decision, to de-
gree of $50 is made through the sense
of sight, hence if we can have the
IVA put on paper in the form of a
map illustrating to the greatest de-
gree possible in such drawing the
greatness of the success of, and joy
to the whole people of that region,
it will form a kind of spearhead,
reaching many people who might not
be reached in any other way.
Maps are apparently not expensive.
Every filling station is provided with
road maps gratis for all who wish to
pocket one or more; tourists in par
ticular. OF course IVA maps might
not be clutted up with all the lines
and information which is deemed inn
portant for tourists, but stressing the
improvements of the Tennessee Val

whole improvement.
Moreover, there could in like man

ing, will attract and interest people
who are loath to devote themselves
to the reading of long narratives of
written description It is a matter Of
education, when it comes to educating
adults who have formed the habit Of
not reading, it is of strategy to effect
such education.
We shall find our friends, the enc
my, using plenty of strategy, the first
thing in the education of these old
children who are in the habit of hay-
ing some one do their thinking for
them, is to get them interested. Per-
haps we will find it advisable to call
in the experience of practical teach
ers and get pointers from them as to
how to reach those who are so loath
to read at considerable length, and
to read other than jokes and scandal,
funnies and such like.
AS Mr.. Locke suggests, community
organizations in which the matter is
openly and freely discussed will be
helpful. The article of the oath Of
November of Mr.. Lockees in The

Recommendations of the Committee
Appointed To Study State Owned Lands

The state committee appointed early
this year to make study of matters
pertaining to the proper and most ad
vantageous use of state lands in the
interests of the state as a whole and
of individual citizens and groups di
rectly interested as lessees or other
WISE after a series of conferences has
submitted its report and recommends
lions, printed in full below:
1. We recommend that agriculture
leases be on a crop share basis except
when such crop share leases are not
in the best interest of the state. The
crop share to be that prevailing in the
immediate vicinity of the tract, but
not less than one fifth of the crop.
Agriculture leases now in effect on a
cash basis be changed to crop share
basis at as early date as possible.
2. We recommend that the policy of
crediting a refund on summer fallow
be discontinued
8. That the State Board of Land
Commissioners be commended in its
attitude toward discouraging the plow-
ing of grazing lands and that the
poorer classes of agricultural land be
gradually retired and classified as
grazing.
4. That the board make more effort
to assure permanency of tenure In
cases where considerable money has
ben spent on development and i'm
provements. Lessee to have an OPP
portunity to meet high bid whenever
land is offered for SALE
5. 1t is recommended that when
new lease is made not renewaD,
a full years rental be paid If the
lease is issued before July first, but
if issued on or after that date, the
lessee is required to pay 500 of the
full years rental for the balance OF
the lease year.
g. It is unanimously recommended
that competitive bidding be stopped
and the federal and state laws be so
amended as to bring this very much
criticized practice to an end. 1t is
suggested that the next legislature
send a Memorial to congress asking
that the federal law be so changed
as to stop competitive bidding to per-
NIT the state to lease it's grant lands
on a fair rental basis after fair ap-
praisal.
T. The present method of determin-
ing the rental price of grazing land
is based on Section 1S05.25 of the
Montana Code of 1885 and places graz
ing land in the following classes:
"a Extra good grazing land, $500
\ to $4,000 per section.
(2) Good grazing land, $4,000 per
section.
(3) Fair grazing land, $500 per
(4) Poor grazing land, $4,000 per
section.
(5) Any other grazing land, such
amount as may be fixed by the
board.
1t is recommended that the present |
classification of land should be con-
tinued until all state owned lands are
adequately classified so that the in
formation available for all state land
is on a comparative basis
The State Agricultural College in
Dictated the carrying capacity of these
five types of grazing land as follows
ID 40 to As head per section.
(2) 80 head per section.
co Is to 20 head per section.
(4) 8 to 10 head per section.

s. 1t is recommended that each trac
be classified as to carrying capacit
to be expressed in animal units TO
an eight month grazing period. In de
termining the carrying capacity of
tract of land the field agent SHOULD
be guided by:

no case should the carrying capacit,
be set in State Grazing Districts a
a figure higher than the established
carrying capacity figure for similar
lands within the area of the dis
trict
1t is recommended that the renta
be based on an eight month grazing
period and the charge for an animal
unit month shall be 20 cents.
9. 1t is recommended that the field
force be increased to six men, one OF
which shall be Chief Field Agent
whose headquarters shall be at Hell
ena, and who shall spend most of his
time in the field overseeing land clas-
sification, Reconsideration, checking
rentals, supervising the use of state
lands so that over-grazing or deteri-
Grafton of agricultural lands may not
occur, and such other duties as the
Commissioner of State Lands and In
vestments and the State Board of
Land Commissioners may direct. The
five field men, so far as possible, shall
be assigned districts in which the
use of state owned lands will be their
responsibility, subject to the supervi-
sion of the Chief Field Agent, Com
missioner of State Lands and Invest
ments and the State Board of Land
Commissioners.
1t is suggested that the Chief Field
Agent be appointed by the State
Board of Land Commissioners from a
list of three to be jointly submitted
by the Grass Conservation Commits
sion, the Montana Stockgrowers Asso-
citation, the Montana Wool Growers
Association, the Board of Education,
and the Commissioner of Agriculture,
Labor and Industry. He should be ex-
perienced in the handling and grazing
of livestock and have ability to judge
range conditions and to plan and di
rect the operation and handling of
grazing livestock. He should be able
to deal with the public in a manner
that would engender respect and trust
in his ability and judgment. He should
have a knowledge of soils, forage,
range and farm management Above
all he should be able to judge quality
and quantity of forage production,
keeping in mind that what is needed
is efficient, planwise administration
Of state range and agriculture lands

SOUND THINKING ON
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

A midwestern judge, the other day,
solved case of juvenile delinquency
to his own satisfaction by persuading
mother to leave her war job and
stay at home to keep an eye on her
sixteen year-old daughter. Towns all
over the United States, lately, are
solving their juvenile delinquency
problems to their own satisfaction by
imposing curfews for teenage chill
dren. Put the lid on the manifesto
tions of the problem, these people
seem to think, and you have solved
your problem.
The psychologists have a name for
this solution 1t is "escapism." The
animal world has ready-made SYM
boil for 1.-THE ostrich. We ought to
know better, by this time, than to at
tempt to eradicate an evil by merely
shaking the first of authority-wheth-
er it is the authority of the home, or
the authority of the government.
1t is encouraging in this connection
to note that the Labor League for HUI
man Rights, official relief arm of the
AFL, is now setting up series of
local standing committees to work
with local social agencies, as well as
to integrate other patriotic and relief
activities of AFL members. If the
trade unions and the social agencies
can really get together in construc-
tive way to work out solutions instead
of expedients, and to offer aid instead
of ultimatums to our restless and un-
certain younger generation, it will be
worth more in immediate and in long
term results than hundred cast-iron
curfews.
