Let All Take Note!
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

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

He said AMG already knew
of some bad choices that had
been made.
About 75 per cent of Aachen
probably will have to be writ
ten off permanently.
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

S. Sweet, U. S. N. R., an author

day In an article in the Journal
of the American Dental associa
tion. ' If this advice is followed,
Sweet said, all harmful and dan
gerous conditions will be dis
