POSTWAR AIRPORTS

Some of us have been conjuring UP grave difficult
ties respecting the distribution and of airports
for the globecrcling aviation which is expected to
develop when the war is ended Recall, for example
the alarm expressed last fall by the five peregrinating
Senators. But, if we assume among nations will to
cooperate instead of to compete, these difficulties
might disappear 1t is time to put that will to the
test In other words it is time to try to channel the
will to cooperate by talking the common respon
sibilities to be undertaken in world policing which
must basically concerned with the of air bases
No international system regulating civil aviation
be set up satisfactorily till military commitments
are established in common.
Lord Beaverbrook, speaking before the House of
Lords a month ago, offered approach to this
discussion. His remarks Drew Pearson noted in
recent column went unnotced at the time they were
made. Nevertheless they were of very great signifi
canoe, betokenng readiness the part of Britain
to meet other issues of this kind in spirit of gen.
erous regard for the general welfare Noting frankly
that this country has many air bases scattered all

them exclusively for British interests. His govern
ment he declared have desire to exclude aircraft
of other nations. We demand no prescrptve right to
the of airfieds for ourselves. Rather do mean
to use them for the purpose of steadily developing
civil aviation throughout the world"
Here is statesmanike formula which deserves
to be followed up even though Lord Beaverbrook put
the cart before the horse in speaking of civil aircraft
without reference to postwar military necessities The
formula likewise deserves wider application. Our own
government might well match it by making clear that
we mean to approach the problem of end-lease set

The President rose to the bait.

might not pass his entire program
but said he would press for the
labor draft just the same.
Murray then replied that he
would fight him to the very end.
Immediately afterward, Murray
called a meeting of his CIO exc
cutive beard. His Scotch ire was
up. He looked daggers at the left
wing union leaders who had wired
the President.
Gentlemen" he said, his voice
edgy with anger what policy are
we following here-the CLIO policy
or foreign policy? At Philadel-
phia we laid down a policy the
CLIO was to follow against ma
tional service act, but now find
that there are other policies.
What Murray had in mind was
the frequent AFL accusation that
some of the CLIO unions are DOM
mated or influenced by Russia. The
Russian policy has been to win the
war at all costs, whether it meant
drafting labor, working long hours,
or anything else.
Harry Bridges, of the West Coast
longshoremen, gave Murray a rather
mild reply to justify his telegram
to the White House. But Murray
was still indignant.
II am fed up" he said, with the
conduct of unions which you and
your type represent.
Nobody can call me a Red bait
err" Murray continued Il couldn't
be a Red-baiter if 1 wanted to.
But now l can understand the pro-
tests of John L. Lewis during the
Little Steel wage dispute as to who
is running the labor movement
LEFT WING BACKS DOWN
Murray was also bitter against
Roosevelt and accused him of
double-talk regarding his friend
ship for labor and his plans 70
draft labor.
Finally the left-wing unions
which had wired the White House
took thirty minute recess to dis
cuss the matter. Then they came
back ready to go along with Phil
Murray and the CLIO right wing
Murray then entertained a mo-
ton to reaffirm the position of the
CLIO as previously adopted at Phil
adelphia-namely, against a nation
al service act This was unanimous
ly adopted.
The left-wing unions justified
their vote for this resolution on
the grounds that they had been for
including high taxes for business,
Roosevelt's entire viewpoint pro-
gram. etc. Since he probably would
not get his other four points. they de-
cided not TO champion a national
service act alone.
Note:-Only other excitement at
the meeting was speech by Harry
Bridges complaining that the War
Labor Board was way behind with
its decisions. He wanted to know

LONDON, May 3.-New Allied
offensive operations in the Medi-
terranean in conjunction with
the anticipated invasion of
Western Europe were forecast
today by the Germans, who were
reported reinforcing their de-
lenses on the Dalmation coast
to meet possible thrust into
the Balkans.
In broadcast from Berlin, a
German military commentator de-
clared large movements of Allied
troops and supplies observed in
Southern Italy indicate the two
armies (5th and 8thD intend to
launch fresh attack"
The Germans intimated they ex-
pected this attack to coincide with
the invasion assault from the west
and renewal of the Russian drive
from the east.
Nazi Divisions Shifted.
Gen. Veledit, a member of the
military mission sent to London by
Marshal Tito of the Yugoslav Par
tisans, said the Germans in his
homeland "are frightened of an
Allied invasion from Italy and have
diverted four of their IA divisions in
Yugoslavia to guard the Dalmatian
coast line"
1t is known that there is close
liaison between the Allied command
In Italy and Marshal Tito's forces
across the Adriatic. Small Allied
units have been reported operating
with the Partisans, and supplies
and equipment are being sent in.
Broadcasters Guessing.
AS for the main invasion from the
West, Nazi broadcasters still are
filling the European air with un-
supported guesses and theories as
well as high-flown interpretations"
for their own people.
One German commentator, 1t.
Gen. Kurt Dittmar, conceded that
the Allies had certain advantages
including wide traffic lanes of the
sea offering many chances to spring
