Ready to Aid
Red Cross Prepared for
Invasion
BY Jane Eads.

When our invasion forces move for
ward, the American Red Cross is ready
to move with them.
During the last year Red Gross serv-
ices both to armed forces and civilians
have been carried to virtually every part
of the world.
Services to the armed forces include
hospital and convalescent service; home
service for both able-bodied and hos
pitalized men and their families; blood
plasma for Army and Navy; emergency
supplies, such as surgical dressings, and
assistance to prisoners of war.
In addition, for men overseas, social
welfare and recreational activities are
provided.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower says the
Red Cross is the single organized
agency that brings to the men the things
that have no place in official equipment
tables, but do so much for their we'll
being and morale"
Already plans have been completed in
the European theater of operations The
Red Cross announced recently in Lon
don it was ready and waiting to follow
the Army onto the continent"
Male field directors, assigned to all
units of American troops for months,
will accompany them as far as the
Army allows.
Red Cross girls picked for "ruggedness
and health, driving ability, skill in Ian
guages, and the type of service they
have given in the British training
ground will staff clubmobiles and estab-
lish 'donut dugouts" in the rear of the
lines.
The Red Cross is planning to MAIN
tain number of operational groups in
the combat area. Each unit will have
two clubmobiles, a supply van, utility
vehicle similar to jeep and various
types of trailers. 1t will carry months
supplies.
Each Of the IS .clubmobiles which the
Red Cross now has in use overseas can
be quickly cleared and used as an am
bulance to carry 10 stretcher cases or
20 ambulatory cases.
On the home front Red Gross activi-
ties are equally extensive.
One of the greatest of these has been
the collection of blood plasma and
serum albumin which the surgeons gen.
eral OF the Army and Navy term among
the foremost lifesavers of this war.
During 1914, the Red Cross says it
must collect 100000 additional pints if
this lifeline is to be maintained.
Home services are carried on by the
1856 Red Cross chapters throughout the
United States for the dependents of
SerVlcemen. Loans and cash grants are
made when family allotments are de-
layed. Red Cross workers aid in cases
of sickness or death and communicate
with servicemen overseas.
Another important function of the
Red Cross has been recruitment of 81 900
nurses for the Army and $500 for the
Navy. The Army Nurse Corps has asked
for an additional 1000 nurses The Navy
Is calling for 500 more each month.

NEW YORK.-The first detailed plan
for world organization to prevent an
other war actually reduces down to the
familiar principles of the New England
village with its regular town hall meet
ing, or another League of Nations, but
with some important differences, in
cluding the use of force
The plan has been drawn by 200 Amer
lean and Canadian experts on interna-
tional law and is being issued by the
Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace 1t is creating much talk and
may become one of the bases for our
postwar conversations with the world.
Among its authors are John w. Davis
and John Foster Dulles, both influential
New York lawyers: Manley o. Hudson,
Cambridge, Mass, judge of the Per-
manent Court OF International Justice;
United States Circuit Judge j. c.
Hutcheson, jr., Houston; Associate JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court Robert H.
jackson, Roscoe Pound of Harvard, M.
c. sloss, former justice of the California
Supreme Court; Silas H. strawn, Chi
cago, former president of the American
Bar Association; Henry w. Toll, Denver,
honorary president of the Council of
State Governments.
The plan proposes that the com
munity of states" tall the 81 govern
mer1ts recognized in 1887 and any new
ones to be born should form a world
assembly to meet at least once a year.
This assembly, with an executive coun-
Gil to meet oftener, would air worries
and complaints, suggest ways out and
find, by majority vote, means of inter-
national cooperation.
While its immediate objective would be
to keep the peace, it also would be con-
cerned with the underlying factors of
social discontent-health, labor condi-
tions, finance. communications, etc.
Up TO that point the plan sounds much

Should American agriculture return
to crop production control after wartime
demands for food subside
This question is becoming an issue as
both major political parties prepare for
the coming presidential and congress
sional campaigns.
It will be asked countless times be-
tween now and November.
It's discussed by farmers, by farm
organization leaders, by members of
Congress, by leaders of the political
parties.
Republicans started the ball rolling at
a recent conference in Chicago. The
party's Agricultural Advisory Commit
tee - composed of five Governors and
four members of Congress-heard sug-
gestions of leaders of the major farm
organizations for farm plank to be
submitted to the national convention in
June.
The committee, feeling that the party
has good chance of capturing the bulk
of the farm vote, took careful notes on
the farm leaders suggestions So did
the Democrats-from a distance.
Both Parties Ready.
Republican leaders are ready to attack
the Roosevelt administration AAA CROP
control program as scarcity produc-
tion" plan involving 'regimentation of
agriculture
The Democrats, on the other hand,
are ready to defend it as a program of
balanced abundance"
The idea of abundant production"
was stressed by the farm organization
leaders at Chicago. They agreed that
everything possible should be done to
encourage and enable agriculture to
produce amply. But some expressed
doubt that conditions warranting full
farm production at good prices would
prevail.
Agriculture's experience under present
wartime demands has made deep i'm
preston. Farmers are producing at
levels never before approached. Yet

corruptions rivaling Teapot Dome and
Elk Hills.
Another school of opinion contributed
the notion that the day has come when
the American people will have to re-
consider some ancient terms of oppro-
brium, such as imperialism" dollar
diplomacy" and "cartelism" AS an in
stance of reform that backfred, these
observers cite Theodore Roosevelt's
trust-busting of Standard OIL
According to their view, his big stick
broke up the only American unit capa-
BILE of holding its own in the savage
jungle of international competition, and
threw open the way for British domina-
tion in the Middle East; for British
Dutch conquest of oil in the Netherlands
East Indies, now in Japanese hands, and
for large-scale sorties of British-Dutch
capital into the American sphere of
influence in the Caribbean and along
the rim of the Gulf of Mexico.
In the heat of argument, the fact was
overlooked that the American Govern

tlon-perhaps the nucleus of an interna-
tional army after all. The plan makes
no mention of this.
On the political side the plan seems
to take for granted that the United
States, as one of the great states" will
cooperate. 1t seems to be generally ac-
cepted that she will, in some way. but
the Wisconsin primary result, which has
been interpreted as saying that this
typically Midwestern State is pleased to
consider that her interests stop at the
port of New York, certainly raises
question
There have been, however, two nation
al actions which may outweigh any iso-
latlonist sentiment. One, the Senate
resolution which recognized the neces-
sity' of establishing "a general interna-
tional organization, based on the prin-
ciple of the sovereign equality of all
peace-loving states-for the mainte-
nance of international peace and Sc
curity.'
Stand at Mackinac.
The second action came from the Re-
publican party's postwar council at
Mackinac Island last September, which
recommended the responsible partici-
patton by the United States in a post
war cooperative organization to prevent
military aggression, and to attain per-
manent peace + ="
The proposal to use economic sane
tions seems little optimistic too. The
world had sorry experience when sane
tions were voted against Italy when she
invaded Ethiopia. To put it charitably,
enforcement was half-hearted
There is still no sign that the profit
motive has lost its old allure; the cur
rent undercover battle for postwar air
privileges is an example. But, it could
just be that world assembly might

Today and Tomorrow
BY DON ROBERTSON

PLANES family
How many families will buy pri-
vate airplanes after the war.
II anyone knows the answer to
that question it should be the avia-
ton experts in large airplane COM
panies, in the government and IN
aviation associations. But review
of statements made by these au-
thorities indicates that your guess
or mine is apt to be just about as
accurate as theirs.
William Burden, assistant to the
secretary of commerce for air, ac-
cording to a study of Aviation
Predictions" published by Simonds
Accessories, Inc, predicts that
within five to ten years there will
be 450, 900 privately owned planes
in this country, which is the high
among predictions. S. Paul John
ston, Washington representative of
the Curtiss Wright corporation,
gives the conservative low estimate
of 20, 900 planes. The National Re-
sources Planning board estimates
$4,000, while Charles I. Stanton,
civil aeronautics administrator,
thinks there will be 10000 private
planes in active service within four
years after the end of the war.
AS for prices, the experts are a
little more in agreement. Prac-
tically all those quoted expect pri-
vate planes to be available in the
$1,000 to $4,000 price range. Com
menting on probable price reduc-
tions. Andrew Kucher, director oi
research of Bendix Aviation, said
"In 1910, automobiles cost S1.5z
per pound, whereas in 1910, the
price OF a much better and more
complete auto was in the range OF
IS to so cents per pound. AS air
craft manufacture undergoes a sim.
liar evolution, its present cost of 81
to IS per pound will inevitably come

make round trip from New York
to London for $400.
A. N. Kemp, president of Amer
lean Airlines, is even more opti-
mistic about low rates. He says:
'In the not too distant future we
can expect rates which will pro-
vide fares within the reach of all,
on planes cruising upwards of four
hundred miles an hour. This will
permit fares of approximately S25
from New York to Chicago, SIS to
Los Angeles, 800 to Europe. SIS to
Mexico City and 81 to Washing
ton"
The Coolidge examiner., 1944-10-13

down, and the all-round airplane
of the $4,000 to $4,000 class will
begin to approach the ideal cost
of $4,000 to $4,000"
The number of planes sold after
the war will depend almost entire
ly on the public demand. There
will certainly be little problem
about quantity production of all the
planes the people will buy with the
plane-producing facilities we now
have in this country.
But the public demand will be
governed to a great extent by cost
and safety-and that still is pro-
duction problem. Costs will un-
doubtedly come down rapidly and
all sorts of safety devices have
been invented which will make pri-
vate planes much safer than they
were before the war. William
Piper, president of the Piper Air
craft corporation, one of the lead
ing manufacturers of private
planes, says: "The postwar private
plane will be practically fool proof,
but not darn fool proof"
Perhaps we can never expect a
plane which is darn fool" proof,
but many people, who are now tim
id about venturing into the air, will
want to see a long demonstration
of safe flying before buying a fam
lily plane.
Although the perfection of the use
of the helicopter, according to the
experts, will take some time, |
imagine it will be the helicopter,
or something similar, which finally
will bring real popularity to pri-
vate flying. l think most individu-
ais look for the day when they can
learn to fly in the way which w
Lawrence LePage, president of the
Platt-LePage aircraft company
says they will be able to do with
the helicopter. He says: "a novice
| need only lift the machine a few
inches off the ground at first, how
er, move around and land. AS he
gains more confidence he will rise
further and fly forward, backward
and sideways until he is accus'
toned to his controls, the feeling

of the use of big passenger planes
and freight planes flying to all cor
ners of the world. In addition
small planes and helicopters will bt
operated to carry people short dis
tances-in many instances to re
place bus lines.
Again the experts are not entire
iy in agreement as to the rate:
which will be charged immediatel!
after the war as well as ten years
after. Estimates of domestic pas
senger rates Immediately after the
war vary from rs cents per mile
to AS cents per mile and predic-
tions of rates ten years from now
range from 2.5 cents per mile to )
cents per mile.
AS for overseas travel, the ex-
perts say the cost will be from
s to 10 cents per mile right after
the war and may go down to 5 cents
per mile within ten years.
