(New York Times
 The hope of most of the world must be that the day will come when no nation will need army, air force or navy. The atomic bomb tests planned for the Pacific in May and July well may prove obso- lete some of the naval vessels possess Progress in development of guided but unpiloted missiles may, within the next few years make obsolete air power it is now conceived and applied The day is not yet here when any of those premises can be accepted. more realistic appraisal of todays world would be adoption of the we'll developed plan for postwar Navy that has been presented to the Senate Naval Affairs Committee by Secretary Forresta and Admiral Nimitz.
 It is tremendous Navy that the Secretary and the Chief of Naval Operations envision greater in surface vessels and in air strength than the combined nayies of all the other countries of the world Its thirty-trree bases ir the Pacific and twenty in the Atlantic and Caribbean would be greater than those any other country if not widespread as those of Britain and should enable the fleets and air forces based on them to control the and air lanes of the Pacific those of the western Atlantic against other country or any foreseeable combination of countries
 The cost of maintaining fifty-three bases and a fleet and air force of the size contemplated 079 ships and 3731 plsnes-is great. Next year it is estimated that the bill would be $5073 100000 and for succeeding years S3 800 000000 year. This compares with an approximate cost in 1889 of $1,000000000. But it is still below the $30000 900 year that was the of expenditure at the close of the war And if helps keep the peace who will be willing to say is too much? As Secretary Forresta somewhat tarty pointed out when the of the contemplated Navy was questioned Tn the present state of the world cannot say strongly that if this country goes back to bed we don't deserve to survive" The isn't saber -ratting or mongering It is only mon sense

GOOD IDEA

bill introduced in Congress by Alaska Delegate Bob Bartlett would authorize the Federal to enter into immediate negotiations with the Indians in Alaska for surrender of whatever rights they still claim to land and water areas in Alaska not now needed by them ir their possession.
 The Indians apparent unsettled claims to vast land and water areas in Alaska have done much to upset the orderly development of the Territory and to eopardze developments already made in good faith with the approval of the Federal Government and under regulations laid down by Congress
 No potential investor is going to put in cannery, open a lumber pulp mill, open mine land which may at some future date be claimed by the Indians under aboriginal rights. At the same time, any lands or waters which have been taken from the Indians wrongfully should be paid for.
 This is certainly the responsibility of Congress and the Federal government, and the matter should be settled quickly possible if Alaska to receive the benefit of postwar expansion of industry from Outside and expansion of industry already established in Alaska

Churchill on Second Front:
 At Casablanca in 1943, the ques- tion of a cross Channel invasion of France was discussed by Roosevelt and Churchill. The U. S. General Staff wanted it. The British didn't. Finally, Churchill said that if a second front was undertaken, the British Army could supply only 30 percent of the invasion force, sad ding the American Army with TO percent of the burden.
 We cannot squanGer tne seed of the Empire Churchill argued.
 The man who most vigorously opposed the Prime Minister re- garding this was Gen. Al Wedemey- CT, then head of the General Staff's War Plans Division. He maintained that 39-7o troop ratio would mean that no second front could be start ed for at least one year and that the war would be prolonged un- necessarily. It would take at least a year to transport the required U. 5. troops across the Atlantic. Wedemeyer argued. whereas the British already had sizeable army in England which could be used for a second front if they would go in Q ratio of 50-50.
 Churchill, however, stood pat:
 He was very irate with General Wedemeyer, however, and later sug- gested to FDR that Lord Louis Mountbatten needed an expert Am erican liaison officer for his cam paign in India. He especially asked that Wedemeyer be attached to Mountbatten. Wedemeyer had spent several years in Germany, knew German tactics, did not know the Far East. Despite that, Churchill got him transferred to India.
 The Second Front was started a year and a half later with a ratio of TO percent American troops to 30 percent British.
 Churchill at Ottawa:
 At the Ottawa Conference be-. tween Churchill and FDR, General Marshall clashed with Sir Alan Brooke, British Chief of Staff, re- garding Far Eastern operations. Marshall demanded faster action by the British in the India Burma theater, was most impatient over

 resented this.
 After Ottawa, Churchill accom- panied Roosevelt back to Washing ton, camped in the White House and adroitly suggested to FDR that, in view of the coming second front, the Allies needed man of General Marshall's stature as Allied com mander
 Of course, as European Com mander, Marshall would have noth- ing further to say about the In dia- Burma theater or any other part of the war-save Europe. At first FDR consented. But when this leaked to the press, the furore was so critical that the decision was reversed
 Churchill on India:
 When William Philipps, special Ambassador to India, gave Roose- yelt an urgent warning that trouble was due in India unless the British promised dominion status immed- lately, FDR finally sat down with Churchill to talk it over.
 But the Prime Minister wanted no advice from anyone-not even an ally. Pounding on the desk, he insisted that no one knew how to handle India except the British. Blood will flow" he shouted, if there is American interference.
 Churchill on the Mediterranean ::
 At Casablanca, Churchill got a premise from Roosevelt that. the Mediterranean theatre was to be ritish-dominated. Churchill then went to Turkey and made public statement to that effect.
 After that all telegrams from American personnel to other Amer ican personnel in the eastern Med iterranean had to be sent over British radio channels, in British codes and scrutinized by British officials. All American personnel flying into Greece had to travel on British planes and be cleared by the British. All American lend lease had to have American labels scratched off and be relabeled with Britain delivers
 Much of the subsequent trouble in Greece, in the opinion of Roose- welt advisers, resulted from this off, hand promise wrung from FDR by Churchill.
 Conclusion of one old Roosevelt adviser who reminisced over Chur- chill's speech: "Winston's offer of an Anglo-American alliance re- minds me of his offer to France to form a British alliance in 1940. Tn 1886, when Hitler invaded the Rhineland, France asked Britain for help. The British looked in the other direction. But in l940 they came begging-just four years too late.
 Churchill is equally late today. If he really wanted an alliance with us, why didn't he practice it re- garding Hongkong, India, the Med- iterranean?"

and that China then turn it over to the United Nations as free port for all the world to use. Chiang Kai-shek glowed with plea sure. But Churchill glowered.
 T was not made Prime Minister of England" he said ito liquidate the British Empire"
 After that, it took all Roosevelt's s persuasive charm to keep Chiang from bolting the Cairo Conference.
 Note-The British still keep Hongkong, and not even the Labor Government has made any move to restore it.
