The alleged hardiness of the

bust at the seams. Press dis

Prospect hired man and athlete.
In his youth, he toted a wildcat
with a front paw mangled In a
trap, for two miles, by the nape
of its neck, to cast the varmint
into a cage, where for two sum
mers it hissed at tourists. The
same afternoon, Mr. Hill In a

The Sixth War Loan drive is something more than
lust a monev-raisine affair.
We cannot all fight the enemy face to face. We
cannot all produce the weapons and raw materials
so vital to our armed forces.
-
But there is one front
man, woman, and child can serve, and serve for the
duration. We can all practice self-denial. We can
all sacrifice some of our comforts to the needs of the
men in service, and, yes,
their comforts.

"THERE is an old saying about sticking to the plow
until you have reached the end of the furrow.
Every rule of common sense and patriotic thought
makes that maxim applicable to our conduct in this
war. , '
In the name of our wounded and sick, in the name
of our dead, and in the name of future generations
of Americans, I ask you to plow out this furrow to a
successful and victorious end.
THE above may, or may not, sound familiar de-
recall President Roosevelt's
ent War Loan drive.
But that is it. And we are

the urgency of all subscribing to this war loan at
this time and to the limit of their resources, in a few

There Are Compensations
The British White Paper, enumerating for the first
time British losses in this war, brings into sharp re
lief the activity of Emerson's law of compensation.
For-example: 4,500.000 of England's 13.000.000
homes have been damaged by enemy action and
over 200,000 entirely destroyed. There have been
over 67,000 civilians killed, including over 23,000
women and 7,250 children!
MOW try to imagine what the state of mind in this
country would be if we had suffered as England
has buffered!
Instead of that there has
loss over here not a home bombed, no damage
whatever from war action as far as this tremendous
country is concerned.
"We the people here
throughout the war, in perfect peace and security;
and we promise to continue to live that way until the
war is over.
As has often been remarked in this column, if we
got down on our marrow-bones and rendered thanks
from now until the wars end, we could not exagger

"THIS country too has done a good job, and every-
one has a right to be proud of it. But the point
is we COULD have done a better one. And the pres
ent shortage of ammunition on the western front,
which General Eisenhower stresses so frequently,
proves it
Yes literally thousands
been lost in vital war industries by walkouts and
strikes our war production has been tremendous
but the fact remains, it could have been greater, if
the people all the people of this country had done
this war job as well' as the people of England have.
IT was a terrible price to pay one can only be pro
1 foundly thankful this country has not been called
upon to pay it
But HAD we been in the thick of the war, had we
been forced to meet the horrors of war every day as
England has had to do, well
General Eisenhower would not have had to plead
for more ammunition to give to our soldiers on the

State Assist
ant Secretary
Adolph Berle
Paul Mallon was hailed as
having won a
great victory for something call
ed "freedom of air," only to find
himself a few days later buried
under some tons of bristling
words as having lost his cause,
The British initially were nice
co-oDerators. because Russia had
refused to enter the hall (after
having chosen, and actually
sent delegates to Chicago). But
before the end the British were
accused of .having caused the
disagreement on major points
by her firmness of auituae, etc.,
etc., etc. ' ; '"
"TODAY this country hai 80
per cent of the world air
business. The British want some
of it, in fact, they seem to want
exactly half of it. Secretly they
have prepared four or five very
large transport planes.
These are yet in an experi
mental staee. but big things are
expected of them in the way .of
improving paying loads and
otherwise making, British avia
tion commercially equal with us.
The straight question at Chi
cago was not any of those you
heard from the lips of the par
ticipants but just this one:
' How are you going to get an
agreement for division of world
air commerce between Britain
and the United States? '
The answer was also supplied
there in the practically nega
tive results.
TPO delve deeper Into the forces
at play backstage, American
Airlines , were rather strongly
behind the Berle position ofr
freedom of air, while Pan-America
was against it. Arnerican
Airlines has pending before the
government an application
whereby it may get into the
foreign field against Pan-Am
through American export lines
(decision is still being held up).
American s ambition is to be
come the central feeder from all
sections of this country , for
transoceanic traffic, and : any
thing which will upset ' Pan
Am's exclusive hold on our for-
elgn'buslness is agreeable to her.
On the other side of the ques
tion Pan-Am says it will throw
its holdings into a pot with the
other American air companies,
railroads and steamship lines to
form one big monopoly for post
war. It does not want to hand over
half its business to the British,
and, therefore, would strongly
oppose the ' British proposal at
Chicago where quotas would be
established for each country by
an international air board to
split up future air traffic.
To them It sounds like suicide
for us to sit down now on the
cemmercial air system we have
built up through government
subsidies and long experience,
and wait for the British to catch
up with us.
FORMERLY we needed routes.
had them, while urn hnrl the
planes and efficiency. The Brit
ish controlled three continents,
Europe, Africa and Asia. The
war opened all three to us. Bases
are no longer so Important to us.
Freedom of the air would
not bring us so much now as
formerly. Pan-Am, for instance,
can start a round-the-world serv

countries and even this may not

ureal DrinciDles were dis
cussed at Chicago, but these
mentioned business factors were
behind the conclusions, which,
as this is written, seemed likely
to provide some sort of world
safety regulations, and little
else, unless some high sounding
woros xo cover the underlying
contest.
Great world nrlnclnles aat
lost early in the game when
Kussia withdrew, indicating she
is nol ready for air freednm.
Her air always has been the
most exclusive in the world.
Furthermore, the fact remain
from the -conference that we can
out-match the British no matter
how we decide to arrange our
own commerce. We, too, have
some planes in the making
which will meet any competi

Letter From Washington;
Br HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Member of Congress From Oregon . .
Washington, D. C, Nov. 29
(Special Correspondence) Back
in session again, the congress is
proceeding with its work just as
if - nothing had happened. But
quite definitely, considerable
happened on the seventh. It is no
secret that Republican members
felt rather confident that the ma
jority of the house next term
would be Republican. At elec
tion time the score stood 214
Democrats to 212 Republicans.
The clerk of the house says that,
as of this morning (Saturday),
the score for the new congress
stands: Democrats 242, Repub
licans 190, Progressive one,
American-Labor one and one
still in doubt. I doubt that the
score in high enough on the
New Deal side to warrant call
ing the new congress a rubber
stamp congress, but there is no
slightest doubt that the admin
istration will have majority
enough in the house and senate
to carry most controversial leg
islation.
It Is too soon to get any ac
curate idea as to the course of
legislation for the coming two
year term. My guess is, how
ever, that there will be no seri
ous controversy on legislation
involving major foreign policy
matters. The battles in the new
congress will occur mostly over
proposals that would tend to
take us toward a centralized
socialistic type of government. ,
IF I may make a personal
comment at this point, I wish to
express my thanks to the vot
ers of the district for the fine
majority given me in the elec
tion. I hope that the service ren
dered during these next two
years will . justify the faith
placed In me. These are serious
times In the history of our re
public, and 1 am well aware of
the responsibilities borne by
every, member of the congress.
EARLY this week the cron
insurance bill passed the house
by an overwhelming majority
Wnly 18 negative votes). Last
spring the house rejected a crop
Insurance bill. There were sev
eral valid objections to the pre
vious proposal. All of them were
removed in the new biU. Prin
cipal difficulty with the former
proposal was that too much of
the risk was actually borne by
the government to the extent
that the plan cost many millions
of dollars from the public treas
ury. The bill recently passed
limits the government liability
and practically places the plan
on a sound insurance basis. As
I see it, this plan does not put
government ' in the insurance
business nor does it establish
any precedent along that line

panies. a
THE senate now has the flood
control bill (H. R. 4485) under
consideration. The senate com
merce committee, before it re
ported the b 1 11 to' the senate
floor, inserted an amendment
(known as the Bailey amend
ment) which would restrict the
authority of the secretary of the
interior to build transmission
lines for the sale of power from
flood control dams. The commit
tee amendment would have com
pelled the sale of power at the
dams unless 90 percent of the
available power - remained un
sold within three years after
the completion of the dams.
Then, arfd only then, said the
amendment, could transmission
lines be built by the govern
ment. The senate defeated the
amendment by a vote of 42 to
27.
But the senate approved an
amendment authorizing the sec
retary of the interior to con
struct and acquire only.su ch
transmission lines and related
facilities as might be necessary
to make publicly-developed
power available in wholesale
quantities to distribution sys
tems, regardless of the owner
ship of such distribution sys
tems. ' THE house is still debating the
postwar highway bill. Many
members are dissatisfied with
the large sums allocated to
cities, but it is probably neces
sary to keep this part of the
bill In order to get the remain
der of It approved. Highway and
market and access road work is
a needed and worthwhile post
war undertaking.
