DEEP IN THE
HEART OF . . .
When the French city
of Die was liberated, the
first outfit to enter in pur
suit of the fleeing Ger
mans was the 36th Divi
sion. The grateful mayor
wanted a victory parade
and review, but time was
too short. The 36th had to
push on swiftly. Yet its
members, in their speedy
passing, seem to have
paused long enough to im
press the local citizenrv
with the Virtues and hn
portance of their major
ity’s point of origin.
Today the main street of
Die has been renamed/ Ave“
nue de la Division du Tex
as. This certainly ought to
aid and comfort all Texas.
It shows that their soldiers’
state pride is still func
tioning, even in the midst
of war and on foreign soil.
Not only that, but it has
given at least one French
city a constant reminder
of the Lone Star axiom

FOR THE
AIR AGE
Enthusiasts say that the
personal aircraft is now
like the 1919 automobile.
It needs landing facilities
just as the automobile of
1919 needed good roads for
mass development as an
industry. If the New York
metropolitan community
invests in airplanes, the
same proportion as it in
vested in automobiles, the
problem will soon be acute.
National aviation authori
ties like Charles I. Stanton
and W. A. M. Burden of the
Department of Commerce
have estimated that from
300.000 to 500,000 personal
aircraft will be in use in
this country within five
years of the wars end. By
ratio of New York’s wao'^
and buying ilabits
to the
of the country, this
would land from 30,000 to
50.000 personal airplanes
on our doorstep—if we
have a doorstep for them.
Joseph Geuting, Jr., of
the Personal Aircraft
Council of the Aeronauti
cal Chamber of Commerce
accepts that estimate and
says that doorsteps—aiir
parks, air harbors and
flight stops—can be pre
pared for them at surpris
ingly little cost in either
money or the amenities of
metropolitan life. The Re
i gional Plan association
and the Port of New York
Authority, proved experts
on our problems of traffic,
are working with the rep
resentatives of the coun
ties in the area. The New
York Board of Trade is
active in these studies.—
(New York Times).
PEACE AND
POLITICS
The discussion of Amer
ican membership in the
United Nations security
organization has been
showing symptoms of be
coming hotly political,
despite both major parties’
official policy of keeping
it non - partisan. Perhaps
these symptoms were in
duced by the recent cam
paign, and will subside
now that it is over. But
they revealed some odd
assumptions and comclus
sions which probably still
exist, and which could
frustrate our efforts to
ward world peace.
The most prevalent of
these seems to be that
membership in the United
Nations would give the
President of the United
States sole power to de
clare war. It is doubtful
that those who made the
charge looked very far in
to the future, but their as
sumption obviously would
apply to any president of
any party, good or bad,
now or later.
The assumption ignores
the proposed 11-member
United Nations security
council and seems to con
sider that this “declaration
of war” would be a presi
dents private affair. And,
with all its talk about
“rushing our troops into
battle,” it also ignores the
possibility that the Unit
ed Nations might first try
to solve a menace to world
peace by means short of
war.
But the recommenda
tions of the Dumbarton
Oaks conferences specifi
cally suggest that the se
curity council, having de
termined that a threat to
peace exists, “should be
empowered to determine
what diplomatic, economic,
or other measures not in
volving the use of armed
force” should be used to
bring about a settlement.
The Dumbarton Oaks
suggestions are not final.
This has been repeatedly
stressed. There will be
I discussion and decision
; among prospective mem
I ber nations before the
| United Nations come into
being. In this country that
means discussion and f inal
decision by the Senate.
And that decision will
surely include in its con
ditions of our membership
a stipulation of how our
member of the security
council shall be appoint
ed, and what powers he
shall halve.—(Anchorage
Times).
