airborne operations will play an
increasing part.
That furnishes the link with
tn e Dumbarton conferences,
temporarily stalemated while
London and Moscow review the
first phases of the deliberations.
In General Brereton's Army
there were not only American,
Canadian and British troops, but
also Poles, Dutch, Belgians and
sprinkling attachments from
other Allied armies.
Now a United Nations air
borne army, backed by United
Nations combat air forces, IS
just what the Russian delegation
is understood TO have proposed
as the best possible type of
police force TO maintain the
peace of the, future.
The great paradox is that
while Brereton's international
airborne army is accepted in
time of war, there is opposition
TO setting up any such type of
force to operate in time of peace.
An international airborne army
to check aggressor nations is to-
day a functioning reality, even
while scoffers are shouting that
it won't work.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
BY PETER EDISON
MonitOr-Leader Washington
Correspondent

Operations of Lt.-Gen. Lewis
II. Brereton's First Airborne
Army in Holland now explain
TO a large degree where all the
u. S. air transport planes have
been going.
For over two years domestic
airlines have been crying for
more equipment. Their prewar
fleet of 354 planes was reduced
10 166 in May, 1912. 1t has been
gradually increased by release
of planes taken for the Army
to 200 last April, TO 244 today,
with 80 additional planes now in
the shops undergoing reconver-
sion for commercial airline oper-
ationS.
BY crowding schedules the
airlines have been able to carry
vastly more passengers, mail
and express than they did in
preWar years, but as today's air
traffic demands would justify a
fleet of 900 planes, the CONNER
cial carriers have been putting
on a constant Oliver Twist act
10 get more and more planes.
However, the Army Air Fore
es have been forced to turn deaf
ears. Building up Brereton's
Airborne Army to the thousands
of planes required TO transport
troops and keep them supplied
was the reason. The Army
couldn't talk about 1t at the
time and as a result has taken
terrific criticism for boarding
planes, delaying the mails and
holding up War-priorlty air
cargo. Anyone who has ever
gone through the annoying ex-
rerience of being kicked off a
plane or not getting a reserva-
ton should now understand, and
cross off his great sacrifice as

LIVING IDEALS

The late Wendell Wkie had been invited to
address this years New York Herald tribune rorurn
on Current Problems. His presence was missed tnere'
as il will be missed on many occasions in the trying
veors ahead But few hours otter Mr. WiIlk'e was
buried in Rush County, Indiana, the Forum ouo'ence
and thousands Of radio listeners heard on address
which sonified that the ideals for which wendell
Willkie stood are still living and oct'Ve
The words and thoughts we're those OF that re-
morkobIe statesman, Bernard M. Boruch In them
one sensed the same militant optimism and abiding
faith in the dignity and decency Of ordinary humble
men that characterized Wendell Wilkes social and
political philosophy
Mr. Boruch's persistence in these beliefs is re-
rnorkobIe and encouraging He is IA. He has known
and worked with statesmen and politicians tor ~
veors His hand guided our industrial conversion IN
the last war; He was q member Of the American DEL
eootion to the Versailles peace conference.
Like Wendell WIkie, he fought q losing fight
for our participation in the League Of Nations Mr..
Boruch was already seasoned veteran while Mr..
Wi|Ikie was unknown young ideo''st.
But Mr. Boruch was no less the ideo'ist than the
youthful WIkie And neither ever lost his IDEAL
ism. The LEAGUE fioht might we'll have made Mr..
Boruch bitter He has enough OF politics ana Dig
business in the past three decades to make him Gym
icoI. But while Mr.. Boruch has accumulated WISDOM
he has also accumulated faith
And so to his Forum audience he sold, The OBJ
1ective of world community is not os academic as
it seems 1t might even be profitable say
this as an aside to those Pretendedly hard men OF
business who seemingly scorn any touch OF ideal
ism, port Of which may be only enlightened selt-'n-
terest Besides ideosn is the very core Of our Amer
icon spirit Let the eyncs rereod the Declaration OF
independence"
Nor does Mr.. Boruch despair Of world peace.
1.-THE meeting ct Dumborton Oaks is only good be-
oinnno," he soid "Most Of the work for peace still
lies ahead am more confident than the lost time
because both parties have committed themselves to
the principle of world security"
But he puts his chief responsibility for carrying
out this principle where it belongs, and where Mr..
WIkie put it: "Peoce will finally be secured by pub
lie opinion. We must continually keep that in mind
Honesty and reason must be our keynotes."
These are brave and comforting words, spoken
by man whose political and economic knowledge is
perhaps unsurpassed by any American in or out OF
government They are spoken from deep convie-
ton.

examples on record of how TO

Creation Of the First Airborne

equivalent of some Is infantry
divisions though this figure in

This announcement came at
the time of General Patton's

as his forces swept across France
the military experts began to
speculate freely that Breretons
Army would be a natural 10

Nazi rear and opening up the
road right TO Berlin.
Nothing was done to stop

the Germans off in planning

ostensibly to "confer on the means
Of building new economic accord

Behind that high-sounding phrase,
Kilgore believes, turks deliberate
attempt to circumvent government

distribution.

Kilgore, who heads a senate com

national cartels, or monopolies, and
issued a report last week which holds
them largely responsible for this war,

For the Coop League News Service
| NEW ORLEANS, La.-Recommen-
dations were made this week by the
Federation of Labor at the Fedora
tons annual convention here, Novem-
Der 90 that a Department of Consum-
ers Cooperation should be established
in the federation with a full-time
executive and the necessary staff. F"
This was the most advanced step ever
proposed by the AFL and one which
has resulted from months of educa-
tional effort within the ranks of the
federation
The recommendation was part of a
two-thousand word report on con
sumner cooperation" made by the exec
utive council in which there were
other recommendations as follows:
l. That there should be "close col
liberation between the AFL and
The Cooperative League of the
USA"
@ That members of local unions
should be trained to develop CO.
operative organizations and this
training should be had through
The Cooperative League of the
USA."
3. That sound educational practices
should be followed by the unions
through organization of buying
clubs and through their expansion
into stores managed by trained
supervisors.

of Maintenance of Way

with German business in monor

said.
Spots Haven't Changed
1--WE are confronted" Kilgore said
'by the spectacle of United States
delegates, at a conference initiated
by them, exhibiting willingness tc
return to the same system of private
economic treaties which contributed
so largely to the depression and the
breakdown of the peace"
The Rye convocation is not under
official auspices, but was arranged by
the National Association of Manufac
turers and the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
A correspondent of the Baltimore
'Sun" who is Covering" the sessions
declares the idea uppermost in the
minds of the delegates sis to work out
uniform agreements under which
trade riyalries can be reduced If not
eliminated.
Kilgore said the substitution of the
word competition" for "rivalries
would be a clearer description.
The "Sun" correspondent also re-
ported that the gentlemen who are
confadulating behind closed doors may
actually be sowing the seeds of an.
other World War, and Kilgore agreed
with that statement
The Sun" is not unfriendly to bust
ness. On the contrary, it is extreme
ly conservative-so much so that, al
though Democratic, it refused to sup
port Roosevelt in the last two cam
paigns because of his domestic pol
icies.
The Sun correspondent was shocked
because German business men are
represented at the parley by their
puppets in Switzerland, Sweden and
other countries, including, probably,
the United States
Secrecy Shrouds Farley
The secrecy surrounding the con-
ference is as deep as that which
brought protest from newspaper men
who covered" the Dumbarton Oaks
and other official conferences. But
the newspapers are not complaining,
obviously because of their conviction
that anything business men do must
be right.
Only one official statement has
emerged from the proceedings, and
it gave "tacit" approval to cartes
in world trade, along the lines of 4
the German system.
The Sun" correspondent reported
that last weeks blast against cartels
by the Kilgore committee was YER
table "blockbuster". The reason it
created a sensation is that many big
business men want to resume the re-
ations which made money for them
but made possible this global conflict
