Competitive Airlines

Important decisions probably will be made by the present Congress regard ing Americas future international air transport policy. Agreements reached among 54 nations attending the Inter- national Civil Aviation Conference in Chicago, supported the stand of the United States delegation for maintenance of the competitive principles among air lines of all countries. The question now is: Shall the United States allow it's own airlines to compete for foreign traffic, as our eminently successful domestic lines do, or shall we adopt the foreign motion of single, "chosen instrument" air monopoly?
 Demanding retention of existing avia- ton laws which prescribe competition ln over-ocean flying are seventeen of the nineteen U. s. airlines which comprise the AirlineS Committee for United States Air Policy, whose Chairman is AleXan- der B. Royce, former government econ onic adviser. The Committee, insisting that we retain the philosophy of free enterprise in foreign air commerce as in other businesses, warns that any air monopoly would end as a government owned and operated enterprise.
 The remaining two airlines, Pan Amerl- can and United, want to combine all our airlines in billion-dollar corporation en- dowed as the exclusive government-spon- sored international air carrier. This is the so-called community company" proposed in such legislation as the McCarran bill: A showdown between competition ana monopoly advocates is foreseen when the McCarran bill or similar measures are examined by Congress.

Keep It Sane

The tumult and shouting over who shall be Secretary of Commerce have died down for moment And during the Hull we should like to address plea to the parties to the dispute before the hubbub starts up again. So to the principals of the controversy to their seconds in the White House and Congress, on the radio and in the field of journalism, we make this modest request: Please lay off the campaign oratory The American people had enough of it last fall. We are con- ditioned by habit to endure it once in four years. We can even let ourselves get slightly potted on repeated shots of hyper bole and general hooey during the cam paign months. We can believe and repeat the most eXtravagant charges of virtue and villainy. On the day after election, however, the people are more than glad to dismiss the political melodrama from their minds. They are little ashamed of an emotional binge that flatters neither their candidates, their intelligence nor their sense of responsl- bility They are ready to calm down, and eager to see their elected servants tackle the nations problems.
 But the announcement of the Presi- QEIlt ulSIIl1oSdl Ol JCooC JOiiCo O4AO AlAo appointment of Henry Wallace to the Commerce post set loose another flood Of campaign oratory. It wasn't all political talk, but it's emotionalism and substitu- tion of personalities for issues certainly put much of the sounding-off in the "campaign" category Important issues are involved in the Commerce Depart ment change And they are too import ant to be clouded by the harangues that began the day after MT. Roosevelt's fourth inauguration and continued through February 1. The chief issue, It seems to us, is whether private business and industry shall chart the course ot peacetime employment, with the inevit- able and indispensable aid of government loans, or whether the government lend ing agencies shall be part of dominant government plan in which peacetime en- ployment is only one phase of vast social program.
 It didn't help to resolve this issue by charging that this one or that one was Hooking forward to defeat" or that either principal in the dispute was deliberately plotting unemployment, depression or revolution. It didn't help to suggest that Henry Wa,lace's appointment would mean the advent of Communism, or that Jesse JoneS'S continuation in office would have meant the end of American democ- racy in 10 years. Such talk was absurd, and insulting both to MT. Wallace and MT. Jones. We are sure that the pubic has had enough of it. So when the debate on Mr. Wallaces appointment resumes next month - and there is still plenty of material for debate-let us hope that the participants will keep it sane, sensible and dignified.

your children if you didn't buy their his tory set or lectures or goldleaf encyclo- pedia.
 And so you paid three prices for the set and got beautifully stung. But you weren't the only sucker in town. The acquisition of literary gems throughout America became a series of unhappy incl dents that happened in the best of fami- lilies, and which went unmentioned by common, tacit consent We suppose that the logic and economy are on the book firms side. Probably you'd get better bargain. (And what's so awful about buying literature by the yard-didn't Dr. Eliot sell Harvard Classics by the foot?) But still, somehow, the old-time book peddler was little more flattering.

Culture by the Yard

The advertisement gave us bit of shock. Here was one of the countryS leading book dealers, old, respected and highbrow, offering to sell you library at what might be called space rates.
 Do you have an empty built-in book shelf?" the ad inquired It went on to explain that For Decorative purpose and Cultural Background, the rooms most frequented in the well appointed home shelve the tonnes of the Giants m Literature" (The capitals, the sense and the general literary style, we'll have you know, are the respected, highbrow book dealers, not ours,) The ad offered three selections of Giants in Literature for the home in lots of 100-prived roughly at $20O, $500 and $1 ,000. There was also a selection of ,520 volumes, price not given, but presumably it would knock your hat off.
 Well, we thought, fine thing when a respected old house baldly offers to make you into a phony literate Has the day come, we asked ourself, when the book must go the way of the piano, which long since, In most homes, ceased to be a musi- cal instrument and became a piece of furniture? And then We got to thinking of the means by which most full book shelves in our land probably got that way. There were the college textbooks, of course. And the book subscription club selections. And detective novels, the fruit of years of last-minute shopping In sta tlons for something to while away tedi- ous train journey. But these only fill shelf or two. The rest of the books are "sets," the result of visits from hungry, persistent salesmen with their toe in the door and the wiles of the devil on the tip nf their tongue.

"I HAVE A PICTURE"
(Hartford Courant)


 Every news room in American knows the scene well by now. But the fact that 1t is daily occur renee in hundreds of newspaper offices does not rob it of drama. You can almost sense their mission as you see this new class of visitors to newspaper office, standing a bit uncertainty on the threshold, a manila envelope under their arms, wondering to whom they should speak. Sometimes 1t is young woman alone. Sometimes she is &C., companied by an older woman. Not infrequently 1t is man.
 There is no trace of grief on their faces. no uncertainty in their voices when they make their re- quest But there is almost always a noticeable pride as they tell you, T have a picture Of my son here. He has been killed in action. Could you run a little piece about himP" The sorrowing Is there, no doubt of it. A child Is long term crop. Like the growing of tree, 1t re- qulres the investment Of years Of patience. worry love and care. It Is the infinite tragedy of war that 1t is those who have just barely reached the years of fruitlon who are struck down by the lightning blast of battle.
 That these thoughts arc present one may be sure. And iI at times selfishness and gripping on the home front reveal Q dlscouraging aspect of human nature. the gallantry of these men and women In the face of cruel personal tragedy more than offsets it. For these mothers and fathers, wives and sisters, are part Of the home front. These are the people who are constantly remind- cd by official Washington to rec member there's a war on. They know it. There iR no rancor. no self pity in their demeanor. but only pride. when they come In and say. "I have q picture of my son here. He was killed in action"

 CONGRESSMAN EXPLODES
 Rep. Dewey Short of Missouri gave the brass hats some of the plainest talk heard on the floor of Congress for long time. He accused them of trying to cover up their mistakes by demanding passage of the Work -or-Fight Bill.
 Generals and AdmiralS should stay in their place" stOrmed the leading Republican Congressman from MiSrOuri. They have an applied science to prosecute this war. They are the military strategists. A lot of these parlOr generals and pink tea strategistS you SC ein Washington come up to your office and try to tell you how to win this war.

 Here Short spoke of the optlm- iStic calculations of an early end of the war issued by U. s. mili- tary leaders as long ago as 1943. He also accused the Army of re- sponSibility for present-day pro- duction difficulties because they canceled contracts; they termin- ated contract; they closed one fac- tory after another all over this country and threw thousands of people out of employment"
 His colleagues who were sup porting the May Bill-both Re- publicans and Democrats-did not escape the wrath of the fiery Mis- sourian.
 We have men over here on the Republican side who wOr- ship stars and love gold braid," Short admitted.
 Of course, politics were played last faIl," he continued, but I will not even go into that because I do not want to prejudice nor weaken my case with some fellows over here who are tOttering mugwumps. You know, a mugwump is one who has his mug on the wrong side of the fence and his wump on the other.
