THE MISSING CHARTER

THE MISSING CHARTER
There has been q greet TODD over Mr.. Roose-
vet's admission thot there never was an original
Atlantic Charter and thot consequently NOBODY ever
stoned it, Most Of this TODD, however, con be troced
to senator's reporters and ooIumnsts who never had
much synopothy with the sentiments Of the docu-
ment itself.
Their concern developed only when it could be-
come vehicle for expressing their dislike OF the
President or their dislike and suspicion Of Mr. Church.
i'll and British policy And they have perfect right
to speak out with these opinions
But their opinions do not otter the foct that the
triumph or defect Of the Atlantic Charters senti.
nents does not depend upon the existence Of doou-
nnent printed on parchment or veIlum and duly sign
ed and seoed
Perhops they have been msIed by the ttleseThe
dictionary defines q charter os. "on instrument IN
wrtnQ from the sovereign power OF sote or coun-
Try. executed in due form. grontjng or guaranteeing
riohts franchises or privileges So the socolled At
Iontic Charter isn't q charter
It is not written or executed in due form" nor
does it guarantee anything. 1t is declaration by Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill neither sovereign
power who, the document stotes, deem it right to
make known oertoin common principles in the no.
tiono policies of their respective countries on which
they bose their hopes for better future TOR the
world"
Despite the reference to Irrational policies"
which President Of the United Stotes properly may
declare the declaration is really expression Of two
individuals hopes and beliefs. even though the in
divduoIs happen to be notonot leaders, These hopes
and beliefs ore invariably preceded in the document
by such phrases as they believe" they DESIRE,
"they hope"
It not important who first n'iscoed this declor-
otion
Whot is important is that Mr.. Roosevets and Mr..
Churchirs declaration struck the right note Even
though there is no original document all 70 notions
at war with the Axis subsequently subscribed to the
Joint declaration known as the Atlantic Char
ter" in the signed and Official Declaration Of the
United Notions
So it is idle to assume that since no "ori9Inor,
Charter ever existed its principles never existed eth
er No one argues thot the perfection Of lncoln's
Gettysburg Address is norred because, os the story
Goes it's final droft written in pencil on brown
wrapping poper.
Preponderont American opinion holds the aims
Of the Atlantic Chorter to be right and Just Whether
all the other IS senotories still hold the same view
is another question, big one, and cause for real
concern.

Reich |IdustriaIists
Reported Exporting
Funds for Next War

BY the Associated Press.
WITH AMERICAN FORCES IN
BELGIUM, Jan. 6.-German indus
trialists have begun exporting funds
for safekeeping and arranging for
development of new weapons for an
other war, according to information
available here today.
Both moves are said to have been
taken surreptitiously at the instiga-
ton Of the Nazi party as part Of its
program to remain secretly in power
after Germany's defeat.
The export plans represent def
mite change in Nazi policy. Pre-
viously the party vigorously has
banned sending funds out of the
Reich. Now the Nazis are said to be
encouraging and assigning indus
trialists to get as much money as
possible with the dual aim of saving
themselves and advancing their
postwar aims.
simultaneously, the Nazis are de-
clared requiring large German fac
tories to set up small technical
offices or research bureaus" having
no obvious connection with their
sponsors. Their existence is to be
known only by few key persons.
Both plans apparently under
score the fact that the Nazis hope
to retain support of an essential
segment Of German enterprises dur
in the postwar internal power
scramble.
In the fund-exporting program
special emphasis is on neutral coun-
tries where number of secret
agencies are said to be handling the
necessary transactions and charging
5 per cent commission for changing
German money into property.
Party chieftains also are said to
be urging the industrialists to make
all new foreign contacts possible.
reminding them that certain inter-
national corporations and Joint
patent deals were valuable to Ger
many at the outbreak OF this war
and can be again. &
Operting as scientific research
bureaus" a secret corps OF tech
nicians is said to have been given
the task Of safeguarding all plans
and drawings concerning new weap-
ons as well as materials required for
their production.

Sun Cab License Transfer
To Driver-0wners Barred

Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue of
District Court late yesterday handed
down a ruling which has the effect
OF preventing the Sun Cab Co. from
transferring licenses from eight taxi
cabs, 1t sold to drivers. to other cabs
now owned by the company.
The company, 1t was stated In a
suit filed last March, operates under
a system whereby its drivers grad
ually become owners of taxicabs
through rental-purchase agree
ment.
Under an Office of Defense Trans
portation ruling, the number of taxi
cabs in the District is frozen and
the Public Utilities Commission has
refused to permit a transfer Of the
licenses from the eight cabs to other
company owned cabs. Meanwhile,
the PUG has approved license appli-
cations Of the drivers who became
owners OF the eight cabs.
The f1rm brought the suit against
the District Commissioners and the
PUG in an effort to force the latter
to approve transfer of the licenses
OF the eight cabs to other cabs owned
by the firm.

Ayesha's father, his third. Moham-
med wished Ali to succeed him as the
head Of Islam, but Ayesha thought
her father the right man, and when
the time came, her father was chosen.
Ali had to wait his turn.
When at last he came to power she
took the field against him with a
rebel army. But Ali won the battle
and captured her. He might have cut
her head off, but freed her.
She had personal reason for dis
liking Ali. Once when with Moham-
med on an expedition, she was miss
ing all night from the caravan, and
showed up in the morning with a
handsome young Arab. Ali believed
the worst and said so. Mohammed,
after a few days retirement, an
nounced a new revelation, which later
became a passage in the Koran.
The gist Of the revelation was that
the God of Islam vouched for
Ayesha's innocence, and in the future
no accusation Of that kind should be
made unless the accuser could pro-

question.

livery weekend for the past two
months, several hundred Britons
k- of both sexes and all ages have
been crawling up and down the eerie
chambers of a subterranean cavern
in the rocky hills of Derbyshire.
They are treasure hunting, but in
left-handed sort of way, because all
they expect to find in the flinty
bowels of Shivering Mountain is
small, glass bottle with a piece Of
paper in it---
Their careful search of every inch
of the big cave is inspired, partly
by the promise of generous reward
to the finder of the bottle, but largely
by the air of mystery and romance
that surrounds the undertaking.
They know that the man behind
the venture is short, baldish bar
rister by the name of Booth. He pokes
around the cavern almost every Sun
day. usually in the company of very
pretty young woman, whose name
they don't know.
When the hunt first began, Mr..
Booth explained to the assembled
seekers that he was representing a
client interested in the last will and
testament of the late Henry Bishop
of Sheffield The cavern in Shivering
Mountain was a favorite hiking spot
for Mr.. Bishop. There was reason to
believe that he had hidden his will
somewhere in the cave because he
was afraid that his bank, or his office
in Sheffield might be blitZed. The eX-
plantations ended there.
The newspapers were not so tight
Tipped. They interested themselves in
