MORE DRIVING:
UD Gas RatiOns

Lessened demands following Ger
many's capitulation plus the tremen-
dous production Of the industry
made possible an increase Of from
four to six gallons in the "A" card
gas ration and the boost in the max
imum "B" allotment to $50 miles a
month for the whole country.
Because Of the necessity of re-
arranging manufacture, transporta-
ton and distribution facilities. the
increased rations will not become eff
fective before June % for the "a"
and June IL for the "B" cards.
With the bulk of U. S. shipping
slated to haul supplies over great
er distances to the Pacific theater,
transport demands for fuel will be
even larger than for the German
Jap fronts combined, thus dimming
any prospects for an increase in oil
rations for home heating.

new government then, Churchill
agreed to head a temporary regime.
In British politics, the prime min
lister customarily is the leader Of the
majority party in commons, with
it's 615 members. Thus should the
conservatives ride to power again,
Churchill again could be looked for
to lead the government, or turn the
job over to a fellow-partisan like An
thony Eden. Because the Labor par
ty failed in its attempt to postpone
the election to autumn when con-
sentative luster might have worn be-
cause of opposition to some of the
liberal postwar proposals, it re-
signed from Churchills wartime
cabinet to resume the function of a
critical minority.

Peace More
Natural Than War

You mas have read a very trench
ant article by Emery Reeves, au-
thority and writer on international
affairs in the current Mercury
magazine. which confutes the argu-
ment that since war is a part of
human nature. it can be pre-
vented. Mr. Reeves goes about his
task OF d~isproving this convent bro
mide Of the pessimist in a highly
scientific manner.
why" he asks, did cities once
wage war against each other and
why do they no longer fight each
other with weapons today?
Why. at certain times did great
landowner barons war with each
other and why have they ceased
the practice?
Why did the various churches
plunge their adherents into armed
warfare and why today. are they
able to worship side by side with
out shooting each other? Why did
Scotland and England, the author
continues. and other parts Of what
are now single nations. once fight
and now live together peacefully?
Reeves points out that these and
other groups, presumably because it
was the nature Of the beast to once
consider it natural TO decide their
differences with tooth. claw, pow
der and shot, or bow and arrow and
yet that kind of legal murder no
longer exists and would horrify mod
ern man.
This is his answer to these
provocative questions:
Wars between these social units
cease 10 exist the moment SOW
ereign power is transferred to a
larger or higher unit"
That is worth bordering.

u. S. Learns to
Glue and Take

The American representative who
sits in the assembly or is chosen to
the council Of the proposed United
Nations organization is no less the
servant Of John @. Citizen of Bing-
vile than the man he elects.
In proportion to their size, there
are no less rivalries between San
Francisco and Los Angeles than
there are between any two nations
Of the earth. But cities and states
of our federal union would no more
think of attempting armed warfare
with each other than any decent
law-abiding citizen would think of
shooting up his neighbor to get his
radio, his wife or his parking privi-
leges. We are that civilized. We &C
cept the sacrifice of sovereignty of
our home state to sovereignty under
the United States.
When we advance to the point
where we can sacrifice the degree
of sovereignty Of our nation neces-
sary in order TO guarantee world
order we will be civilized enough
to be sure that our sons won't run
the chance of killing and being
killed as part of a spectacle of
mass murder which even the hor-
rors of this war will pale.
The San Francisco conference
can present a blue print Of the ma
chinery for peace. Only civilization
itself can implement it.
1t is easier to understand things
we can see and touch than ideas.
Brooks Harding was born in
Nebraska and grew up with the
normal nationalism of a boy who
had never seer a foreign flag flying
anywhere. He served in the last
"a in the artillery. later became
interested in aviation. He had a
small aircraft factory, and then a
small leather factory in New York
state.
He watched the League of Nations
rise and fall. He saw the United
Nations start. He became convinced
that unless there was some out
ward symbol, some outward appeal
which would stir the imaginatio.
and the emotions of the people. the
second attempt at world harmony
would fail as did the first.
And so he literally left all he had
with the sole purpose of making
his contribution in the form Of a
United Nations flag.
That flag has not been officially
adopted but it few in Washington
and it few in San Francisco - a
plain white field with four vertical
red bars symbolizing. he says, vic
tory, equality. unity and freedom.
1t is sponsored by the United Ma
tons Honor Flag committee sup
ported by such contributions which
he could make or which he could
solicit in travels about the coun-
try.
He hopes for its official sanction.
He feels that this banner may
some day become the rallying in
sigma for the people of all peace
loving nations. who without slacken-
ing their loyalty to their own coun-
try will respect and support the
forces for international good will
which this emblem represents.

Ship-Air Transport Issue

THE merchant marine committee
Il of the House of Representatives
has unanimously recommended to
Congress that American steamship
companies be given the right to aug
ment their services with supplement
tary air lines after the war.
This is realistic recognition OF
the conditions under which American
foreign commerce will have to be
conducted when peacetime competi-
ton is resumed.
All the other great maritime
powers," the committee reports,
"haUe already cleared the U0y for
combined ship air operations by
their merchant fleets -.
"The American merchant marine
should not be handicapped by deny
ing it the right to use Aviation
service"
IT HE United States has, of course,
l. great opportunity in the field of
postwar foreign commerce-but it
must first get in position to take
ADVANTAGE of its opportunity
The plain truth, as this alert COM
mittee of Congress has pointed out,
is that other nations, while lacking
our present equipment in ships and
planes for foreign trade and our
capacities for producing more and
better ships and planes in the future,
are offsetting these factors.
British interests, for instance, are
getting out AHEAD in several i'm
portant ways.
In the matter of ship air opera
tions, as we learn from the report to
Congress, the British already have
an advantage.
They are constantly MAKING
other advantages.
In evidence of this is the British
program, as the London Daily Mail
recently said, for:
"A national pool of air liners
from tUhich companies, Dhether pub
licly or privately otOned, could char
ter the planes they need for air line
operations ALL OVER THE
WORLD"
That provides a measure of the
ambitious competition British for
