NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. David Lawrence, well-known columnist, recently posed a question concerning what part a free press | can and could have played in assuring peace through- out the world. It's a provoking question Commenting on the State Department’s release of “Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States and Japan” between 1931 and 1941, he asks: “Could a truly free press, unhampered by gov- | ernment censorship or suppression of official diplo- | matic conversation and communications have pre- vented war between the United States and Japan?” He thinks war could have been prevented had the press had current access to such information. Certainly, Japan pulled no punches in informing the State Department of her intentions officially. But | all the people got was nice Jap smiles and peace talk that was pure baloney. Of course some of them might have stopped to wonder what Japan was buying all that scrap iron from us for. And had the people known through the press what | just a few tight-lipped government officials kne Nashinglon the committee Congress. MAIL G. L.

We are paying a high price for the diplomacy the right to act if the knowledge seems to warrant it Flying Round the World lAnchumwc Times) So many folks have flown around, the late that only the passengers themselves find anything very thrilling about such trips, and they become pretty blase after the second or third trip. Because of the war, civilians, however, willing to pay the cost, can not step in and buy tickets for some far corner of the world as a matter of routine But those with genuine business can always arrange to fly to an out-of-the-way corner on short notice in much safety and relative comfort It was noi thus on April 6, 1924, when eight Army flyers set out from Seattle, Wash., in four planes specially designed and built for the venture by a young man named Donald Douglas. There were a major, a captain, three first lieu- tenants, two sergeants, and one civilian with the tem- porary rank of second lieutenant. It was their assign- ment to fly something more than 25,000 miles around the world. Nobody, up to that time, ever had flown around the world, On September 28, 1924—more thar: five and a half months later by elapsed time, during which they had been actually in the air 363 flying hours—two of the planes, piloted respectively by Lieut. Erik H Nelson |and Capt. Lowell H. Smith, landed back at Seattle They had covered 26,345 miles. With Nelson was Jack Harding, civilian. With Smith was Lieuf. Leslie P, | Arnold. | The other two palnes had been forced down, one, | piloted by Maj. Frederick L. Martin, in Alaska. The | other, flown by Lieut, Leigh Wade, sank in the| North Atlantic after flying across the Aleutians o | | Japan; across the East China Sea to Shanghai; by way of French Indo-China, Siam, Rangoon; across | the Malay Peninsula to Burma; across the Indian |Ocean to Calcutta; then to Bagdad, Constantinople, | P‘ms Vienna, Strasburg, London, and Iceland on the | Lack toward the United States.

On the basis of that then spectacular adventure, ' experts say that bur astoundingly successful Air Trans- 'porl Command in this war rests.
