Hope has not been entirely abandoned, but it looks very much as though no agreement between Great Britain and the United States regarding post-war air control will be reached at the Chicago confer ence. This country insists upon free and open competl tion. The United Kingdom wants air quotas estab lished. It is not difficult to discern the cause of these con flicting viewpoints. The United States will emerge from, this war the greatest air-power the world has even seen, and with practically unlimited resources ior maintaining its supremacy. Naturally Uncle Sam prefers free competition with no country capable of competing successfully with him. ' And just as naturally Great Britain wants air power reduced by quota agreements, for in a free competi tive post war world she would be hopelessly outclassed. 'THERE are other factors in the situation of course, but here is the main rock upon which the at tempt to tret toeether promises to split the time hon ored rock of super nationalism of SELF-INTEREST. II England ana tne united states can t agree on airpower when they are fighting shoulder to shoulder against a common foe, what chance will there be, when this common danger has been removed, of agreement on that, or on anything else of vital importance? THIS paper favors a new League of Nations just ao am iav ui v niiu oupui iwu biic vu vii But this impasse at Chicago between two allies still. fighting together, should give this country and every other fair warning, that the job of forming any post war League that will WORK is going to Be a TRE-' MENDOUSLY difficult one, unless national self-in terest is subordinated to international welfare. Hard To Figure Out Something is cooking in South America but pre cisely what it is, is difficult to make but. Take' this reign of terror m .Bolivia, for example, culminating in the execution, without trial, of 11 prominent citizens including two former foreign ministers and about 100 others rushed to jail where they are held incommunicado. One has to delve in the files of darkest totalitarian Europe to find anything like this, in fact it is all taken directly from the Nazi and Soviet rule books of the past decade, where jury trial was abolished and mass execut'ons instituted as the first step to the establishment of the respective dictatorships. rOES it mean Bolivia is to follow the Fascist line and join with Argentine in an anti-North-Ameri can federation, and to eventually perhaps offer sanc tuary to the fleeing Hitlers and Mussolinis of Cen tral Europe? This might be the case if the Nazis were wirtn'ng in Europe. But with the Nazi rats deserting the sink-' ing Fascist ship right and left and the anf-Fascist nations growing more powerful day by day, such a program just doesn't make sense. . : 1 CELF interest, if nothing else would seem to be a sufficient restraining and amalgamating force to keep the countr'es of South America out of the any pro-Nazi hook up at least for the immediate present ' Yet while Fascist fortunes the other side of the Atlantic are getting more and more hopeless; a re vival of Fascism seems to be going oh south of the Panama canal all the way from Columbia to the Cabo de Hornos and in an increas'ngly threatening fashion. it is all very puzzling, and in spite of the many re cent articles and speeches regarding prevailing con ditions in South America, we have yet to run "nto any information from down there that really ex plains this. The Ch inese Shake- Up With General Ho-Ying Chin former Chinese chief of staff, reta'ned as war minister in the new Chung- King government, we tear there will be no material improvement in the military situation over there, as a result of the recent shake-up. t or beneral Ho for a decade at least has been a defeatist as far as Japan is concerned. And he can't be very smart or farseeing for on August 17th last he made a broadcast to the world in which he made th's categorical statement: "With a 4th front established In Europe Germany will be defeated in two or three months and Japan will be knocked out of the war within a year." e e e e e THE two and three month period has passed and Germany is still fighting. In a couple of weeks it will be four months since the General made his prediction of total defeat As for the defeat of Japan within the vear endintr next August 17th, not even Adm'ral Halsey who pre dicted Japan's defeat by January 1, 1943, would ven ture such a rash statement at this stage of the game in me rar &ast.

By Jack Fleilehar United Press Correspondent Aachen, Dec. 1 (U.R) If you can ' imagine an industrial city about the size of Reading, Pa., devastated by a tornado with only 11,000 bewildered, largely homeless survivors and with all public utilities and mechanisms of law and order vanished, you can get a pretty good picture of what Aachen was like when the Americans moved In. . Once a city of . 178,000, Aachen Is a ghost town today with only about 11,000 persons left. But it Is a good sample of things to come for the Allied military government. City Is Challenge ' MaJ. William E. Hurlbert, Jacksonville, Fla., is the mili tary governor of Aachen and he described the city as a "terrific challenge." He estimated that at best hot more than one-quarter of Aachen's Industrial production could be restored. Lieut. George J. ' Buchholz, Kansas City, Mo., economic ex pert of the AMG team, pointed out that only five of the city's 158 textile factories can be re stored and only one of these had a chance of getting into produc tion at any early date. ' The AMG team's Job is big ger and . more -complex than that of any relief agency. It rep resents the military victors and it doesn't speak the language of the conquered. Its first Job largely was to get the city to make the best of its fate. The team Included 16 officers. two warrant officers and 25 en listed men. MP's are provided by the provost marshal so the first job of the AMG was to or ganize a German police unit. It picked 147 civilians for the task, including some of the old Aachen police force. They were sent . to a training school, but AMG - frankly doesn't know what luck they will have in re modeling the Nazis in so short a time. Some Are Nasls Hurlbert said some Germans selected to work under him were Nazi party members. But the lord mayor is not. "In selecting them," he said, we simply have to try to weed out the least bad ones and when we come to party members we have to try to decide on those we think may have been doing OPEN LONG'S CAFE CENTRAL POINT Highway 99 .

Buchholz estimated half of the factories were wrecked by Allied bombing and another 25 per cent in the battle. Frequent X-Rays Urged For Teeth Chicago, Dec. 1flJ.R) Teeth should be X-rayed every six to iz months, Lt. Cmdr. A. Porter S. Sweet, U. S. N.
