partment called the conference in
Chicago last November. Represent
aatives of So countries met. At the
last minute the Soviet Union
dropped out, but certain basic agree
ments were reached. This confer
ence Colonel Mitchell calls "the civ
il air part of the peace settlement"
because it provided sin the main
convention which was prepared, a
proposed international organization
which might, with respect to air
matters within its competence di-
rectly affecting world security, en-
ter into appropriate agreements
with any general organization set up
by the nations to preserve peace"
Colonel Mitchell believes "that the
degree, or lack of it, to which the
world can be linked by aviation will
be an important element in deter
mining whether the nations of the
world can be brought together in
peaceful understanding

Each Country Rules
The Arrays Above 1t

The analogy between freedom of
the sea and freedom of the air, it
seems, is an attractive one but it
won't hold water.
IAN airplane does not merely
touch the coast of a country" the
colonel explained, cit may penetrate
into the remotest interior. Ac-
cordingly it has become fairly we'll
established that nation has juris-
diction over the airspace above its
land to the same extent that it has
jurisdiction over the land itself. The
result is that, in the absence of
agreement between countries, no
plane may cross foreign border.
The air is not free, it is closed"
American ambition doesn't like to
be fenced in and already we have
mapped pattern of air routes we'd
like to establish when peace comes.
Those routes will encircle the globe.
Our own civil aeronautics board is
in the process of holding hearings
to determine which carriers will be
certified to fly these routes.
But the certificates issued, says
Colonel Mitchell, twill be mere
scraps of paper unless other coun-
tries consent to operations by Unit
ed States carriers"
Arrival at such common consent
is in the making today, and has been
greatly advanced since the state de-

Preliminary Agreements
Made at Chicago Meeting

Now, what did the Chicago confer
ence achieve?
After considerable discussion in
which there were sharp differences
of opinion, the conference prepared
two multilateral agreements on
commercial operations which we're
separate from the main convention
and which any country was free to
sign if it wished. They are con-
cerned with the five freedoms of
the air" which will be taken up in
detail in later article. They are
(1) the right to fly over country
(2) the right to land for non-traffic
purposes (3) the right to disembark
passengers, mail and freight from
the country of origin of the aircraft
az the right to embark traffic for
the country of origin and (5) the
right to do business along the way.
Because all of the countries were
not prepared to accept all the free
doms, choice was provided. One
agreement offered, between the sig
natory countries, merely the first
two freedoms. That is right to fly
over the country and the right of
non-traffic stop, which means per-
mission to stop at an airport for
refuelling and such purposes.
The other grants all five freedoms,
but the fifth could be denied by any
country on proper notice to other
contracting countries.
At the time this is written the
"Two-Freedoms" agreement has
been signed (but not definitely &C.
cepted) by "a countries, accepted by
four (including the United States,
Canada, the Netherlands and Nor
way).
The Five Freedoms" agreement
has been signed but not definitely
accepted by % countries; definitely
accepted by two, including the Meth
erlands without the fifth freedom)
and the United States.
The main work of the conference
was the writing of a convention on
International Civil Aviation and In
term Agreement which will set up
an international organization The
conference also recommended
model form of agreement on COM
mercial services to be used in BIZ
lateral negotiations.
1.-THE work of the Chicago confer
ence," said Colonel Mitchell, sis
merely a blueprint for further ac-
tivity A start has been made, but,
like Dumbarton Oaks, much remains
to be done"
Further details of some of the
problems involved and the attitudes
revealed in negotiations so far will
be set forth in a second article ap-
pearing next week.

Training Scheme, which provided
airmen for Britain, has ended. Ten

Vets Opportunities Under
'G.l. BiII' Explained by
Legion Auxiliary Workers
BY MRS. CHARLES B. GILBERT
National President,
American Legion Auxiliary.

The American Legion Auxiliary,
ever since its organization, has CEN
tered its work on aiding the war
veteran and his family. THE Auxili-
airy in past years has aided veter-
ans of the last war. With the in
creasing number of veterans in the
present war, the Auxiliary has
stepped up its program to help the
veteran in every possible way.
A million veterans returned home
in 1914. More and more are coming
home each month. There are bound
to be questions they will want to ask
and problems they will have to
solve.
To ease this burden the Auxiliary
under the leadership of its national

pres ldent, Mrs.
Charles B. Gil
bert of Norwich,
Conn, has pre-
pared questions
and answ ers on
some of the prob
lens which will
affect the veter-
ans and tn cir
families. Here
are some peril
nent questions:
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-05-04

Some time after V-Day, when the
forces of the occupation are with
drawn and the world once more set
ties back to peace, the greatest in
ternational air transport system
which was ever built will largely
cease to be. That system, the Air
Transport Command of the U. S.
army, criss-crosses the western
hemisphere from Nome in Alaska to
Rio de Janeiro; from Iceland to
Panama City. 1t stretches eastward
across the Atlantic, laces Europe
and Africa, reaches India and then
swings around the globe by way of
Australia, through Honolulu to the
Pacific coast.
Over the ATC's more than hum
dred and fifty landing fields, the
American flag now flies. Big planes
travel the routes at the rate of 81
million miles a month, which is
equal to 70 trips around the world
at the equator every "a hours.
From the f1agpoles on most of
those bases, the Stars and Stripes
will be lowered after the world has
returned to peace. And strange as
it may seem, the thing that worries
the friends Of commercial aviation
most is not so much whether Old
Glory flies free over those bases,
as whether the air over them and
the rest of the world is free to the
extent that American planes will
have access to those and other bases
over the globe.
We have achieved freedom of the
seas. Why can't we have freedom
of the air, too?
I carried that question right into
the Pentagon building to the office
of one of the AAF officers whose
job includes worrying over that i'm
portant question. He is William
Mitchell, lieutenant colonel, United
States army air force, assistant ex-
ecutive to the assistant secretary of
war for air. This was his answer
Colonel Mitchell made it clear that
he was expressing his personal
views and was not speaking for the
war department., but he stated that
his opinions were shared by many
other members of the air staff:
Conflicts over artificial barriers
on intercourse by sea-" he said,
fused to be fertile breeding ground
for wars. But for 200 years vessels
of any nation have been able to trav-
ell the oceans in peacetime without
International supervision, and as
result, this source of international
conflict has disappeared"
If he had stopped there I might
have left his office feeling quite re-
assured. But that was only the be-
ginning.

Q.-JuSt what

useful in and reasonably neces-
sary for efficiently conducting
such operations.
3. That the ability and expert
ence of the veteran, and the nature

praisal.
Q.-Nho is eligible to apply for

most everyone that material for any
thing like 900 dwellings will not be
available.
But Mr.. Snyder predicts that we shall
have from five to seven millions unem-
ployed by April and possibly eight mill
lion by autumn. This reservoir of labor.
with what material is available, should
be adequate for providing temporary
housing over the next two or three years.
For We clearly must not only retain the
temporary houses we have, but we must
put into effect sweeping plans for still
more temporary shelters. The principles
which should govern this emergency Job
should be these:
/. For greatly -coneested areas, there
should be large construction Of trailers
and the organized moving Of Army bar.
racks.
Q. Temporary housing, built with what
materials we have, should, a. far as pos
sible, be built on permanent founda-
tions, since there Is more foundation
materia. than lumber.
g.. In large cities, vast areas Of roof
space are unused. Here Is space for
additional upper floors and penthouses.
Metals, including aluminium, and ply
wood proviGe very satisfactory materials
for such additions.
4. Single residences In rural and small
towns and suburbs can, with great
economy OF material, be enlarged into
double houses.
5. The construction OF ready made
parts should be started on large scale
almost immediately. This might be in
troduced as an activity Of city govern
ments, without serious strain on their
budgets. since such parts could be sold
to eager buyers.
Such suggestions q these are the
product Of imaginative Americans.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thomson

In resigning as Ambassador to China,
Maj Gen. Patrick j. Hurley has blurted
out at least fraction of the truth and
has opened one small window, in one
part of the world, on American foreign
policy. He could. of course, have ex-
tended his charges to include the Middle
East as well as China, and Europe as
well as Asia.
The United States of America, whose
leading and even decisive role in the
war was universally regarded by the
peoples, and the small nations, as the
euarantor Of liberty. Justice and fair
play, has sunk to the most ignominious
role Of yes-man to the policies of other
powers.
There is no precedent for it, as far
as, can discover, in history. With
overwhelming and absolute superiority
of military power. enjoying the conf
dence and faith of the suffering mil.
, lions Of this devastated globe, the center
OF the worlds yearninss and aspirations
has abdicated everywhere to 10th cen
tury imperialism on one side ana to
the new Soviet imperialism on the other.

The decay Of American leadership
has come, flrst because for reasons Of
wartime policy, the necessary unity Of
the Big Three" America abandoned
step by step all the principles with
which we entered the war namely
those Of the Atlantic Charter.
In Europe we collaborated at the be-
trayal of two of our Allies: Poland and
Yugoslavia. In both cases men who
fought with us, under our directives,
were critically overthrown. In one
case they were even kidnapped and
transplanted to Russian soil, there to
be tried as traitors before courts whose
procedures we would never (never? it is
a dangerous word) recognize as legiti-
mate for ourselves.
In Yugoslavia despot maintains
himself with private army and secret
