PEACE CHARTER IN
HANDS OF PEOPLE

The President has delivered the World
Peace Charter to the United States Sen
ate, where, under the constitution, 1t
must pass final muster. By this token
the document written at San Francisco
now belongs to the American people for
their wishes and conclusions.
There is no constitutional provision
for a referendum. But our form of gov
crnment provides for the right Of peti
ton and the right to form and express
opinions. There also is the right Of
forums where matters of all kinds may
be presented and discussed. The senate
is only the clearing place for public
views and opinions.
BY this time the public should know
whether the charter is acceptable. The
San Francisco meet was open to the
press and the public as far as assem-
bIagc space would permit. It is not pro-
per for the senate to be slowed by ire
Icvant approaches in delivering public
views But now is the time the senators
are entitled to hear from the people.
In this issue Of this newspaper will be
found the charter printed in full. 1t is
the duty of each and every citizen to
make a careful and conscientious study
Of this document This is to be peo-
plc's peace.
1t should represent the peoples will.

SCRAPPING AIRPLANES
Santa Monica Outlook

tpdHld MONICA OuClOOk)
The Surplus Property board has or
dered the scrapping of all unstable air
craft in the United States including COM
bat planes. The only value of such
aircraft is for scrap and the board is
taking the only course open to it to clear
the airfields of the United States Of
wornoat or obsolete airplanes
The volume of these derelicts is large
More than 1000 war-worn or obsolete
fighters and bombers are already stored
on American airfields and the number
is increasing at the rate Of 100 per week
These aircraft were built for war use and
have little if any value for commercial
operation. What value they possess is
for the usable metal in them
The net loss to the nation by this
scrapping is great. No figures are OBJ
tainable to show the difference between
their cost and what will be realized from
their scrap, but it will run into hun
dreds Of millions and may easily exceed
$1,000, 100000. No criticism attaches to
anybody for this result. 1t is part of the
inevitable waste and wreckage of war.
TheS9 machines have done the work they
were built for and their end is the scrap
heap.

THE LAST LAUGH
Sacramento Bee)

William Joyce, who as the Nazi radio
propagandist, Lord Haw Haw, had great
fun while it lasted, is back in England to
face trial for high treason.
Lord Haw Haw was the most notorious
of several Britisrers and Americans who
sold out their countries for the sake of
either gold or ioeologies.
Even if Joyce imagined by some
strange mental quirk that Nazism would
be good for England and was putting
ideology above country, there are few
who would approve his part in trying to
accomplish that objective
