5 WET AIR SCHEDULES
 NOW PLAN
ii Hours, New York 10 London-400 Miles an
 Hour Is Expetted

NEW YORK, Sept. 21 -- Swifter commercial air transportation was promised today by four major air lines, one of which said it hoped ll-hour New York to London service would be ready soon.

DENUNCIATION OF
RED TAPE" MAY
MISLEAD THE VETERANS

The American Legion and the
Veterans of Foreign Wars are
demanding the elimination of
red tape in the administration Of
laws enacted to benefit the ma
tons veterans.
The purpose of the organiZa-
tons is to assure that veterans
receive the full benefits of the
laws without becoming entangled
in a useless number of regula-
sions and WITHOUT being required
to provide information about
themselves that is difficult, and
often impossible, to obtain.
While in sympathy with the
purposes of the veterans organ
izations, we must not let a gen.
eraIized denunciation of red tape
interfere with reasonable pro-
visions designed to protect the
Government from fraud and to
prevent individuals from securing
benefits to which they are not en-
titled.
1t is entirely reasonable to re-
quire that veterans claiming pre-
ferments and benefits shall sup
ply information, under oath, to
demonstrate the validity of their
claims.
This is necessary, not only to
protect the public treasury, but
also to safeguard the interests of
veterans entitled to benefits.
Dealing with millions of men,
scattered throughout the United
States, the Veterans Bureau must
establish regulations to prevent
the payment of Illegal claims.
If the Veterans Bureau is I'M
der-Staffed to handle the appli-
cations that are expected, then
Congress should make arrange
ments to provide the necessary
workers. 1t seems to us that the
veterans organizations would
be serving the country and the
veterans better if they took oc-
casion to demand the employ
ment of a sufficient staff to fac
ilitate the proper handling of
claims filed.
This would prevent the posi-
bility that denunciation of red
tape may spur the payment OF

LAND MINES, SHELLS AND BOMBS

Many thousands OF land mines OF all
kinds were left behind by German forces
when they retreated from France, Belgium
and Holland In addition, there are thou
sands of unexploded shells in the soil and
other thousands of unexploded heavy aerial
bombs In some sections, they constitute
very substantial obstacle to the restora-
ton OF agricultural life.
The French estimate that 100,000,00O
land mines were laid by the Germans IN
liberated France and that more than 300,-
900 acres of agricultural land are unsafe.
Accidents are reported daily in France and
Belgium and thet~ork ofeae-mining the soil
Is so dangerous that officials estimate that
as many as ao, coo X ORR may be- Killed
in the process
The French and Belgian press suggest
that the Allied high command assign Ger
man war prisoners TO work in de-mining
groups. The Belgians particularly, point
out that when the GEE mans occupied their
country in 1870, they forced civilians to re-
move mines and other obstacles left by the
defeated Anglo-French armies They think
it is now theiturn OF the Germans.

BRITISH TO PAY
4 DEBT IN FIGHTING
THE JAPANESE

@We have the japanese to
finish, " declares Prime Minister
Winston Ehurchill, of Great Brit
ain. who tells the British people
that I'VE stand absolutely with
our great Americas ally, paying
off at the other end Of the world
debts as heavy as ever were in
flicted on us. ?
The British war leader caution
ed the people of his country
against any celebration of victory
over Germany and urged "a new
leap forward" to bring the war
against Japan ito a conclusion
altogether free from any doubt.
The repeated statements of
Prime Minister Churchill, For
eign Minister Eden and other
British statesmen are gradually
convincing Americans that the
British Empire intends to make
its pro rata contribution in the
Pacific. That there were people
in this country anxious to create
doubts about the British is not
surprising in view of anti-British
sentiment apparspt' iq-'soms, sec
tions, of the nation ind NdhoAg

Z6nS. 4tha asaAtA f.4&.54s 4
While the Japanese attacked
the United States at Pearl Har-
Dor. we should not forget that
the same Japanese had already
rerpetrated many crimes against
British citizens and that what the
japanese did to us is not cir
cumstance, to what they did to
British interests in the Far East.
4 Moreover, history repeatedly
demonstrates the determination
of the British to avenge wrongs
and injuries infliced upon British
citizens or upon the Empire it
self. Japan will not be an excep-
ton.

CARE NECESSARY
IN REDUCING NUMBER
OF FEDERAL AGENTS

There will be something of a
reconsideration of various gov
ernmental agencies as result OF
the change in the Presidency.
No one can object to careful
study of the functions of all
bureaus, departments, commits
sions, etc. An intelligent survey
of the activities of the Govern
ment will be wholesome if those
who make the study are impair
tial and judicial in seeking facts
and drawing conclusions. ! The
work will be useless, of course,
if those who do it are partial,
preiudiced or politically-bent.
We have no doubt of the ability
of the nation to get along without
some of the numerous agencies
set up in the past twelve years.
In fact, there are some of long
existence which could also be
dispensed with. Many of them
are politically entrenched, with
favorites of politicians in office,
and some have the strong backing
of various interests able to make
it hot for any prepayment of aboli-
ton.
There is danger however, III
any survey that gets to work
with the idea of using a bush
axe or meat cleaver" as suggested
by Comptroller-General Lindsay
Warren. in his recent appearance
before a Senate subcommittee.
His proposal that all Govern
ment corporations be placed UNI
der the financial control of Con
greSs deserves serious conSidera-
ton, but the people of this
country know that there is dan
ger of log-rolling and political
concessions inevitably associated
with aything that is controlled
by vote-seeking Congressman.
In fact, some Governmental
agencies and corporations could
not function efficiently without
being relieved from what is de
scribed as pressure" and the
only way TO escape this evil is to
have strong-willed President in
charge of operations.

PRESIDENT PRAISES
c.5.A. FOR PERFORM
ANSE IN THE WAR

Z The Office of Price Admins
tration is blamed by consumers
! FOR disappointments at the mar
ikets ard by politicians and com
nlentators for errors in judgment
that are linked with shortages.
Few of the critics are conscious
Of the outstanding benefits that
they have received by virtue of
he efforts of the organization to
maintain price control.
President Truman is not. among
he critics of the O.P.A., having
iven emphatic support to the or
2aization which has been sub
cCted to much criticism in re-
~cnt weeks.
Mr.. Truman says: Il suppose
that O.PA., like the rest of us,
i-as made a few mistakes. But
when we look at the whole rec
I'd, | think that our price-control
and sterilization program has
been one if the most remarkable
achievements of this war. Had
it not been for O,P;A. and the sta
Filtration program, we wauld
have had runaway initiation. g : 5
The Presidest points out thai
the agency has to come into inti-
mate contact with every citizen
which it has to promulgate and
attempt to enforce. Nobody likes
to be told how much can be
charged for what he has to sell
and no housewife likes to have
limited supplies of meat. sugar,
or canned goods.
Mr.. Truman says that as the
war proceeds, shortages will be-
| come more acute, the require
ments of our military and naval
forces are great and we must sup
plement the economic resources of
our fighting allies and do our part
~ helping - prevent anarchy,
riot and pestilence in the areas
liberated from Axis domination
1t should be obvious that the
collapse of Germany and the oc-
cupation of areas hitherto domi-
mated by the Nazis makes the
United, States responsible for the
feeding of captured and liberated
! persons. This means that there
! has been an enormous increase in
! the amount of food required and
until order is somewhat. restored
/ in Europe, the United States must
feel the strain upon its resources,
AS the President concluded
irresponsible criticism should
not be permitted to break down
the confidence of the people in
al essential wartime program and
: a working wartime agency.
