10 World Peace Plan
BY JOHN M. HIGHTowER,
Associated Press star writer.

A critical test Of United States
leadership toward organized world
peace appears certain to grow out
Of the inter-American security sys-
tenn created at Mexico City.
As between Mexico City and the
United Nations plan - conceived
here, something will have to give
way. The test Is likely to come ct
the United Nations meeting OPEN
ing April 25 in San Francisco. It
could well be the most critical issue
there. This Is the conviction Of Of
ficials here who are intimately IA
miliar with the Dumbarton Oaka
plans for = world league.
Any development from the "Act OF
Chapultepec" in the direction of q
breakdown of the world into blocs
organized around the five great
powers would be utterly contrary to
United States hopes and plans AZ
expounded by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Of State Stettinius.
Chief Differences Explained.
The critical provisions of the Act
of Chapultepec and the proposed
Dumbarton Oaks security plan are
these:
/. The Act of Chapultepec recon-
mends that the American nations
set up guarantees of the territorial
integrity Of the countries in this
hemisphere and automatically use
force as necessary to make the guar
antees good.
2. The Dumbarton Oaks plan,
while 1t provides full recognition for
regional organizations, specifically
states that no regional group OF
nations may use measures to inforce
peace or prevent aggression except
upon the authority Of the World
Security Council.
What may prove to be the saving
clause of the Act of Chapultepec
was written in as result Of urgings
of the United States delegation. 1t
says that hemisphere arrangements
shall be consistent with the purposes
and principles of general interna-
tional organization.
Roosevelt's Object in Europe.
The question how forces shall be
used and by whom Is of vital i'm
portance. The object Of President
Roosevelt's commitment to joint
action now in the affairs of lib
Grated Europe was to prevent uni
lateral actions in those areas by
Britain and Russia.
What is feared here is that while
bloc takes the form of q hemi-
sphere security system in the Amer
icas, it might take the form of rival
groups around conflicting powers in
Europe.
This is not to say that some sort
Of regionalism cannot be attained
In fact, the Dumbarton Oaks plan
specifically allows for the develop
ment of such systems and one pro.
vision would permit the World Sc.
curity Council itself to use force or
regional basis, for example, EN-.
ploying only American troops to put
down the threat of aggression II
this hemisphere.
May Have Been Inadvertent,
Authorities here believe that tn,
conflict was inadvertent and prob.

@. How soon after a man is draft
ed may his wife expect an allow
ance for herself and children?-A. Y.
A. For class A and class B-1 de-
pendents, an initial" payment
contributed entirely by the Gov-
ernmenD is payable for the month
In which the soldier enters on active
duty in a pay status, provided that
he applies within Is days of his en-
try on such duty. Regular monthly
payments thereafter are payable
from the first of the month follow
ing the month in which application
was made.
@. Why are American troops
maintained in such areas as Iceland
and Greenland where there is no
1ghting?-D. M. G.
A. The War Department says that
it is necessary to station troops in
noncombatant areas such as Iceland
and Greenland to guard against
their occupation by an enemy. Such
islands would make ideal bases for
enemy attacks on our shipping
lanes.
@. Are Cadet Nurses allowed to
travel on trains and buses at half
fare?-C. M. M.
A. The headquarters of the United
States Cadet Nurse Corps says that
Cadet Nurse students are not
granted reduced transportation
rates. In some localities railroad
companies do allow them reduced
rates. However. since they are not
members of the armed forces they
are not permitted to request or ex-
pect such reduction. Because they
are rendering meritorious wartime
service, Cadet Nurses may accept
reduced rates If they are offered
without request by them.
@. What does 1t mean when a
f1ier is said to be ''on the beam"?-
IT. Y.
A. In the right direction. A beam
is steady radio signal transmitted
from a flying field in one direction
for the guidance of airplane pilots.
@. Is 1t possible for a serviceman
to obtain a discharge from the
Army if his wife is in i'll health
and unable to care for two small
children?-M. A. P.
A. The War Department says that
the husband has the privilege oi
applying for a dependency dis
charge from the Army. He should
submit it to his immediate com.
manding officer. If he is discharged
he Immediately will be under the
jurisdiction of his local selective
service board and subject to rein
duction into the armed forces when
the board considers the dependency
no longer exists.

The Latin American nations
which sponsored the act ct Mexico

2. Providing q regional system Of
