Bizer+e Landing Fooled by Weather

Being of the opinion that we were bound di-

that several of our passengers getting off at
Bizerte, quite impossible feat unless we stopped
there.
We landed at Tunis, having vainly tried to get
into Bizerte but being foied by heavy weather That
interrupted the trip for the time being.
They put us up in dumpy little hotel for the
night and we took off the next morning, the weather
having cleared during the night.
Somehow, or other though, instead of going
straight to Naples, we learned going to
stop in Sicily then go up the east coast of Italy
and then double back to Naples

Planners Review
New League Of
Worlds Nations
By X. II. SHACKFORD

WASHINGTON, Sept 81. (UP)-
The planners of the new League of
Nations" tentatively have assumed,
it was revealed, that the new world
security organization will be called
upon to meet only two probable
sources of aggression in the fore
seeable future-neither involving
the Big Four.
The two sources of aggression
which the new league must be pre-
pared to meet with force, if neces-
sary. would be attempted rearma-
ment by Germany and Japan, ana
an attemt at aggression by one OF
the fascist-type governments which
may survive the defeat OF the Axis.
Counting on the Moscow declara-
ton of the Big Four not to use their
armed forces outside of their own
borders without consultation with
the other signatories, the planners
were understood to have agreed
tentatively that the new Organiza-
ton could not, if it wished, stop
one of the big powers from en-
barking on aggression with meas
ureS short ol all-out war.
The tentative plan reached at the
Dumbarton Oaks security confer
tnce and based on the American
plan, it was understood, has taken
this realistic approach:
|. The success of any new league
is dependent fer some decades on
the continued cooperation of the
Big -Four.
2. If the Big Four fall apart, the
new league will fall apart.
8. If one of the Big Four decides
to embark on world aggression.
there will be another world war
4. If the question cf stopping ag-
gression by one of the Big Four
arises, there therefore will be no
question about war declaration by
Congress, to say nothing of the nee
essary appropriations.
