corning them that should give the American people better understanding of the financial affairs of their country.
 Since 1884 says the Senator, the government of the United States has doed out in loans just slightly less than 1l0 billion dollars to various foreign and domestic borrowers.
 More than no agencies of the Federal govern have constituted the floodgates through which this tremendous of money has poured the Senator further reports
 Moreover, most of the money has never been paid back and much of it never will be repaid.
 Wouldn't it be the sensible thing, suggests Senator Byrd-before lending any money, particularly to foreign governments which have little capacity for repayment and less intention to repay-for Con- gress scrutnize the entire lending setup of the Fed eral government?
 Wouldn't it indeed be very wonderful thing as he urgently proposes for Congress to conduct this scrutiny with view toward curtaing future loans with better regard for the depleted and dwindling of the United States, and toward getting something back outstanding loans wherever pos sble?
 We could very substantially reduce our burden public debt if we made fever loans and especially if we obtained repayment old loanS says the Senator.
 We could utilize the considerable savings thus acquired for the general costs of our own govern ment he says and thus relieve the American people of goodly portion of the excessive tax burdens they now carry to the detrment of their jobs and home and families.
 The "hodge-p -podge" of Federal lending programs, Senator Byrd says, has made Uncle Sam the champion money-lender of all time.
 But Uncle Sam, should all remember isn't really the rich and benevolent lender he pretends to be.
 In his role international money-lender, Uncle Sam is not using his own money and actually hasn't any money of his own.
 Uncle Sam, as lender, is himself borrower
 Every dollar he loans spends is exacted from the American people tax against their current earnings, borrowed against their credit and thus made debt against their future earnings.
 The American government does not itself ever earn a dollar have dollar of it's own, but is a custodian of the money of the American people and the in which it discharges the duties of that custodanship determines the degree of prosperity and financial security which the American people enjoy.
 It would surely be fine thing, Senator Byrd suggests, for the American government to make an accounting its vital custodanship in the matter of lending policy-as a preliminary, if nothing more, to determination of future policy in that matter.

BEST-FRIEND BREWSTER

About the time the four Con- gressmen introduced their Pan American inspired "one company bills, a companion bill was lntro- duced in the Senate by Brewster of Maine, Pan Americans best friend and longtime Senatorial booster.
 The Senator from Maine has never concealed his frank and open championship of Pan American. That friendship is taken for grant, ed around the Senate. Once Brew ster even flew in a Pan American plane NC4000 to Raleigh, N. c, to try to persuade the late Senator Bailey, then Chairman of the Sen- ate Interstate Commerce Commit tee. to come out for the "one com pany' bill Bailey refused.
 Now experimenting the probe against Howard Hughes airplane contracts, Brewster has been charg- cd by Hughes with promising to call off the Senate probe if Hugh es' Trans World Airline and Pan American could get together.
 Astute and able, Brewster is only one part of the ramified network of Pan American friends and helpful promoters. Another work ing closely with Brewster is John Cooper, former vice-president of Pan Am, who very conveniently was appointed consultant to the Library of Congress on aviation matters and then assigned to the Senate Interstate Commerce Com miLtee as aviation adviser.
 It was Brewster, powerful member of the Interstate Con- merce Committee, who arranged that the Committee should have the advice" of this former Par American AirWays vice-preSident Cooper, long a close friend o1 Juan Trippe, received a $10,o0O re- tainer from Pan Am, even while teaching international avlatlon law at Princeton.
 Incidentally, the mysterious fact that Brewster is on the Interstate Commerce Committee at all, has been the subject of Senate cloak room gossip; since Senator White also of Maine, is Chairman of the Committee, and two Senators from the same state are not supposed to be on the same committee

STRIKEBOUND AGAIN

For the good of the public, we hope that steam ship operators will stand pat their refusal to sign q contract with longshoremen including a clause which would absolve the union from responsibility in the case of further work stoppages
 That is the only way in which Alaska will ever be assured of continued operation of shipping.
 Here is the disputed clause which operators and longshoremen have reached standsti in negotia tions
 Tt is understood and agreed that in the event of any strike work stoppage. or interruption or impeding of work the part of any employees during the life of this agreement there shall be no liability on the part of the International Union, the Local Union or any of their officers agents or members
 Now obviously, this would make the agreement no agreement at all if the union, by the insertion of the foregoing oophole could avoid all responsibility in carrying out the contract.
 What the longshoremen seek to do is to skip out from under the provision of the TaftHartley Act which makes all unions liable to employer damage suits for violation of contract In other words the longshoremen solicit the cooperation of the steamship operators in adopting course contrary what will soon be Federal law.
 Our local longshoremen showed their usual lack of tact and cooperation yesterday when they refused to unload all of the cargo carried the Lucdor in spite of the fact that this ship left Seattle before the Juneau strike The longshoremen would have gained public goodwill and helped Juneau businessmen by working into the afternoon to unload the ship. One businessman had $4000 stock of merchandise aboard with which he had planned to open new enterprise in Juneau. His cargo went out again with the ship
 This complete disregard of the publics interest is the type of thing which brought about the strict provisions of the national labor law.

ly seized that plane. It happened that the Assistant Secretary Of the Navy for Air who OKd the selz- ure was Artemus Gates, former di- rector of Pan American Airways, while one of the Navy's key air officers then in charge of trans ocean flying was Com. c. H. i Shildauer, for seven years in charge of Pan Ans Pacific oper- ations.
 Pan American usually has been [ able to have one of it's eX-offlclals also appointed to the Civil Aero nautics Board, and in the early days Grant Mason, a former vice. president, was member. How ever. after Mason consistently vot- ed against Pan Am, he myster- iously failed of reappointment. The failure was attributed to the per- suaSive Juan Trippe.
 Today another Pan Am vice. president, Clarence Young, is a member of the CAB.
 For some time Pan Am has come in for vigorous criticism from the Civil Aeronautics Board, large ly because of the monopoly idea which it so staunchly champions. When Pan Am had a monopoly in Latin America, CAB investiga- tor Sam Gates, reporting on air mail contracts, wrote:
 The rates of compensation now being received by Pan American Airways are excessive and are neither fair nor reasonable. Much of the operation in Latin Amerlr ca is no more difficult than the conduct of an airline operation across the United States, yet Pan American had made total pro- fit of $160O0,000 on an invest ment of only S10,0O00o0.
 TO put it another way Gates continued, the carrier has made profits during this l2-year per- i iod equal to the total capital en- ployed, plus an overall profits Of 60 percent"
 1 This lush profit came about through the monopoly position Pan Am then held in Latin Amerl- ca and which it now wants re- instated. This monopoly origin ally was granted through the in- tervention of Walter Brown, Post master General under Hoover. Sec ond largest Pan American stock holder is R. K. Mellon. whose uncle was Secretary of the Treas ury in the same Cabinet with Post master General Brown. Another large stockholder was David K. E. Bruce, then son-in-law of Mellon, and now Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Air under Averell Hartman. Bruce is an able and fair minded gentleman, but the appointment puts him in the diff ficult position of Pan American Airways friend occupying one of the highest spots in government.

PAN AMERICAN PERSUASION

Two Congressmen at this dinner were Committee Chairman Charles Wolverton of Camden. N. J., and Evan Howell of Illinois, both Re- publicans. And so profound was Trippe's impression that about one week later, both Wolverton and Howell introduced Identical bills favoring the "one company plan for overseas airllnes.
 Simultaneously. two other mem- bers of the same committee, Hin- shaw of California, Republican, and Harris of Arkansas, Democrat introduced similar bills. It is not known that they were at the secret Trippe dinner. but it was known that none of the four really draft ed the bills they signed. In fact Hinshaw freely admitted to friend: that the bill was handed tC him, and it was generally under stood that the handler Wa' Henry Friendly, attorney for Par American Airways.
 NOTE-It's significant that botf Wolverton and Howell, who at tended the Trippe lobbying din' ner, are among those who have just asked for free air transporta' ton overseas to study the "ont company idea. Last week the! were turned down by the Clvi Aeronautics Board. Howell, though now appointed a Court of Claims judge, still wants to study air line legislation-overseas Incl dentally, Wolverson was so irat' when the CAB refused the fre' junket. that he has written strong letter to the CAB askini that it reconsider when all it members are in Washington.

Health and how to get along
with people are the two things
which occupy the majority of the
public's thoughts the Rev. Thorn
as A. Carruth, pastor of the Main
Street Methodist church in BIZ
loxi, told Pascagoula Rotarians at
a luncheon meeting Wednesday
at the Pascagoula Country Club.
These two subjects were shown
as the major concerns of the
American people in a $3.50 poll,
he declared.
"There are four principles Of
how to get along with people"
he said. First you have to be
genuinely interested in people.
Remembering first names is in
valuable in your relationship with
people and the maintaining of a
feeling of humility toward your
felloWman. Emerson once said
'Everyman ! meet is superior to
me- And another thing is TO make
people feel at ease in your com
pany. The last point can be de-
veloped through genuine interest,
the first name remembering and
the feeling that you a learn
something from everyone you
meet
