"A Timely and Vital Service

and progressive, and the best gov
erned nation in the world under the
American system.
Other nations are free to emulate
the American system or ignore 1t,
according to their will.
But no right rests with any nation,
whether it emulates or ignores us, to
pass Judgment upon our system or
in any way dictate the manner in
which it is sustained.
There is determined and un-
yielding American objection to the
pledging of the United States to the
acceptance of any form or system of
living standards and internal politics
not determined EXCLUSIVELY by
the people of the United States.
1T IS not hard to find the MOTIVE
Il behind the miscalled "full en-
ployment amendment which Mr..
Dulles exposed and the American
delegation scotched.
It is well known that there are
elements within the United Nations
framework conspiring to interna-
tionalize and COMMUNIzE the
economy and politics of the whole
world, and conspiring AGAINST the
American system of private enter.
prise and personal freedom.
1t is not the FUNCTION Of the
United Nations conference to abet
this conspiracy.
1t is not the BUSINESS of any
nation, other than the United States,
to either stand in judgment on the
American system or have voice IN
it-now or ever.
The Qualification of this Ameri-
can viewpoint on the issue of inter
national economic and political
standards was promptly done and
WELL done, and was timely and

Detroit evening times., 1945-06-14

THE American delegation at the
United Nations conference in San
Francisco nipped particularly men
acing proposition in the bud when
it forced a change of language in
the so-called "full employment
amendment to the proposed world
charter.
The credit for detecting the OBJ
jectionable and dangerous purposes
of this amendment, as originally
proposed, belongs to John Foster
Dulles, state department consultant.
Mr.. Dulles disclosed before the
subcommittee considering the amend.
ment that its adoption would obi.
gate and compel any member nation
to shape its own internal economic
and political standards and systems
according to WORLD PATTERN.
THUS, every nation would forfeit
l. it's own right to make it's own de-
cisions in the fields of economics and
politics where its own living stand.
ards would be determined, and would
be at the mercy of whatever group
gained control of the world organiza
tion-however alien the economic
and political philosophy of the con.
trolling group might be to the real
philosophy of the individual nation.
Mr. Dulles pointedly emphasized
that the United States should and
WOULD refuse to have It's living
standards and its concepts of per
sonal freedom dictated by any other
nation or group of nations.
In fact, said Mr.. Dulles, the
American people are getting a little
tired of having other nations trying
to tell the United States how to man
age it's internal affairs.

in being the freest, most prosperous

Still No Airport
DETROIT is not yet assured of

DETROIT is not yet assured OF a
~ new site for a modern airport.
One thing is certain: II won't be
built in the Eight Mile Dequindre
area which has cost the city much
time and money.
Common council had an op.
portunity last night to decide def
nitely and finally.
They made a half hearted gesture
in favor of the Eight and Half
Mile and Wyoming site by directing
the corporation counsel to prepare a
condemnation resolution for that
site.
But they still hesitated to name
that site as their official choice They
insist upon putting 1t off for another
80 days.
There should be no indecision
now. Dequnidre is out, Most of the
other proposed sites have for one
reason or another been vetoed.
Only two real locations, among
the many which have been offered or
suggested, remain. These are the
Eight and a Half Mile and Wyoming
site and the Wayne County Airport.
AND only one seems to have a

site. The mayor thinks it's okay.
The airlines think it's okay. Civic
minded Detroiters are willing to say
it's okay with thousands of dollars,
these to be invested in land in the
site which they offer to the city free.
Then why all the indecision, the
interminable delay by council?
Because experts, hired early IN
the year by the Detroit Metropolitan
Aviation Planning Authority at a
cost of $4,000, haven't had time to
