STATE DEPARTMENT ADMITS
COLONIAL QUESTION
INVOLVES WORLD PEACE
BY Ernest E. Johnson

NEW 1Ohh, rep. Z (ANf)-
The problem Of dependent terri
tories and the needs of those who
inhabit them have real bearing upon
the matter of regional and world
security, the department of state
has acknowledged, and the proposed
organization for the maintenance
of the peace, acting through the
economic and social council, can
quite reasonably be expected to con-
Germ itself with the problem.
All this was made clear in a dis
cussion of the work of the council
made by Henry S. Willard, chief of
the division of African Affairs of
the state department, before a
luncheon given by the American
Mission to Lepers.
1T is now quite generally rec
ognized that the several hundreds
of millions of people who have not
yet attained the privilege of self
government, and the resources of
the territories they inhabit, are of
prime concern to the international
community" Mr.. Willard stated.
This concern finds expression not
only in humanitarian terms but also
in terms of regional and world Sc
curity."
States responsible for the admin
istration Of colonies and other pos
sessions in these modern times, he
continued, may reasonably be ex-
pected to recognize a firm obliga-
tion not only to the dependent peo-
pies 'but to the world at large" for
the welfare and Development
political, economic, and social of
the people Of their dependent terri
tories.
Mr.. Willard said that the depart
ment had recently established a di-
vision Of dependent area affairs to
assist in formulating policy on the
subject. He reviewed briefly the
function of the old mandates sys-
TEN created under the league of ma
ton, but observed that, like it's par
ent, mo decision has yet been made
concerning its future" He added
that the problem was one of several
which was not discussed at the
Dumbarton Oaks conversations, and
still remains for consideration.
The official indicated a growing
interest in some quarters in the
feasibility of regional organizations

THREE STATES MISREPRESENTED
IN SENATE CHARTER VOTE
Riverside Daily Press

California is among the three states
misrepresented in the Senate as respects
sentiment for the United Nations char
ter, drafted within the confines Of the
Golden State The two others are Mime
sofa and North Dakota
Senator Shipstead Of Minnesota and
Senator LANCER of North Dakota are the
lone two who on Saturday voted against
Americas participation in a fifty-nation
league founded primarily on the prin-
clplc Of united action by the United
States, Great Britain, Russia, France
and China Eighty-ninc senators regis
tered their votes for it. California $ Sen
atOr Johnson, who was i'll in naval hos
pital, was paired against it with two
other senator's who also were absent.
The action makes the sUnitcd States
the first of the major powers to approve
the document under which the United
Nation world security organization will
tunctiOn-an instrument which provides
Z foundation on which the world has
the opportunity for building a structure
Of enduring peace
In the words Of President Truman
indited at Potsdam, 1T is deeply graf
flying that the Senate has ratified the
United Nations charter by virtually
unanimous vote. The action Of the Senate
substantially advances the cause Of
world peace
The four main bodies through which
the United Nations are pledged to work
for enduring peace may be bricfcd as
follows:
l. The security council. 1t will be com
posed Of the Big Five powers. plus six
smaller ones. 1t is the big stick Of the
organization. As last step it can call
out the armies, navies and air fleets of
the members to stamp out aggression
with force.
2. The general assembly. Every men,
Der nation has vote and voice It can
discuss and make recommendations on
anything within the scope of the charter
3. The economic and social council.
It can study and lay before the world
its findings on such social and economic
problems as food, labor, trade, educa-
ton, communications, and health
4. The international court of Justice.
1t always will be in session, - Judges
appointed for nine-year terms to pass on
disputes between nations.

AIR SAFETY RECORDS
FOR CIVILIAN LINES

Remarkable and gratifying is the
record Of safety in commercial pasScn-
ger flying. Compilation Of reports shows
that for 1914 sixteen commercial flying
lines had a total of 1,378, ,454, 1893 passen-
ger miles in 1914 without fatal acci-
dent This record is all the more remark
able because wartime demands added to
the tenSeneSS of operations. Increased
schedules, heavy loads and sudden and
frequent changes in flights taxed these
lines to capacity in efficient operations.
The National Safety Council is authority
for these records upon which awards
were made BY the council to the various
lines These same sixteen domestic lines
in previous consecutive Wartim months
had flown a total Of 4,22S,S2 ,611 pas
Scngcr miles without a fatality due to
accidents A grand total Of wartime pas
sengcr miles without death passed the
five and one half million mark.
In rendering the awards top place
went to the United Air Lines, which
parallel" the old Pony Express route.
This line flew more than 100,00O,00O
annually since May, 1912, with no fa-
taity, or a total past the billion pas
SPnger miles.
Eastern Airin2s and Northwest Air
lines were awarded certificates Of safe
operations in the same classification Of
niles as the United. The Braniff and
Pennsylvania Central were recognized
for awards in the 10 to 100 million miles
class Ten lines received certificates for
flying less than 10 million miles without
fatalities
While executives and the highly spc-
Cializcd technicians are to be congrat-
ulated on these records, it should be
remembered that along down the line
are thousands of mechanics, and even the
low apprentice or grease monkey, who
share Just as much in making such a
performance possible 1t is, after all, the
man who puts the final okeh on a plane
before it takes off with the greatest re
spOnsiblity. And so it is, too, with the
pilot and the navigator.
All have had a big part in the ad-
vancement of the cause Of air transport
and, with the approaching expansion Of
flights across oceans and to the utter
most parts of the world, this record sets
a pace that will bring comfort to the
great travelling public that will come
with the end of the war.

GENERAL MALIN CRAIG

(Christian Science Monitor)
The harshIy eIarng lights Of war
brightly illumino some Of the actors,
and, by contrast, others seem ohscured
in the shadows so it has been with
General Malm Craig, who has lust
passed on in Washington. As chief of
staff succeeding General Macarthur
and preceding General Marshall, he laid
the groundwork for the swift expansion
of the Army which, shortly after his
retirement, followed rising world ten
sions. The President recalled him to ac
tive duty on the eve Of World War Two
to head the board which selects officers
OF field grade for promotion He thus
had an important part in determining
the Army's able leadership for this war.
General Craig's 40 years as an officer
can best be summed up in ono Of the
Army's own phrases; Worthy of the
highest traditions Of the military scrv

FORD REMAINS YOUNG,
OPTIMISTIC AT 81

Henry Ford. than whom there is no
buster man of business today, at 80 chal-
lenges the so-called younger generation
for energy, keeping abreast Of the times
and in breathing and living optimism. He
is the same virile, aggressive, far-seeing
builder that he was when his youthful
fancy and vision had a great deal to do
with the transformation of transport.
On his 82nd birthday anniversary, the
Detroit genius said in his usual pointed
language: eve are on the threshold of
a prosperity and standard Of living that
never was considered possible"
Looking ahead and viewing problems
that must come with the transfer from
war to peacetime industrial life, he had
this comment: employment hinges on
the right Of private industry to go for
ward unhampercd. There must be more
industry; more and more competition for
greater excellence and quality. These
will bring more and more employment.
In these few sentences Ford gives
full pattern both for industry and the
part government may play in the new
industrial period.

News TmotfIing
By JOHN McDERNIOTT

WIESBADEN. Aug. 3. tUP)-Thc
United States group control coUn-
ellis public relations policy IS rc-
garded by American neWSmen rs
lavoring censorship at the source
and tending to imperil the freedom
OF the press.
It was learned that USGCC pub
lie relations chief, 1t. Col. S. D.
Duncan-ClarK's office has been re-
moving correspondents filed dis
dispatches from the cenSOr's office
for inspection.
The reason for this action was
given as enabling the public rela-
tiOnS officer to study news trends
Correspondent. however, pointed out
that such a procedure Of studying
news trends" by the public rela-
lions office was uuheard Of even
during the height ol the European
war
USGCC operates under The COM
mand of u. S. forces in the Euro
rcan theatCr, and therefore CORE
apOndcntS considered it most un-
usual that any individual public re-
latiOns should be allowed TO cX-
anime any correspondents complete
tile including confidential messages
to his office.
Correspondents also believed that
such rigid inspection tended to aid
The USGCC public relations staff
III tightening its already strong
hold on potential news sources.
NcWsmen already are virtually
handcuffcd by public relations dl-
receives which Dmcan-Clark who
Is from Chicago and formerly assist
ant chief censor at SHAIF', has
refused to be examined because they
were classified as confidential These
directives discourage individual en-
tcrprise Oh the part Of any CORE
spOndcnt in obtaining exclusive in
tcrvicWs with department heads OF
the USGCC.
Fear that department heads may
speak in actualitics, rather than
along the line Of desired policies
appeared to be the cause Of at least
part Of USGCC's censorship at the
source.
We can't allow members Of this
staff to be quoted as making dcrog-
atory remarks, Duucan-Clark said.
