His govern- ment, he declared, “have no desire to exclude aircraft of other nations. We demand no prescriptive right to the use of airfields for ourselves. Rather do we mean to use them for the purpose of steadily developing civil aviation throughout the world.” Here is a statesmanlike formula which deserves to be followed up, even though Lord Beaverbrook put the cart before the horse in speaking of civil aircraft without reference to postwar military necessities. The formula likewise deserves wider application. Our own government might well match it by making clear that we mean to approach the problem of lend-lease set- | tlements in the same spirit. This spirit of mutuality is, indeed, the central spirit of lend-lease. And the evocation of it is the one great reward, after victory, which our lerld-lease investment can purchase for us The world’s resources, whether in airports or harbors or trade routes or raw materials, will have to be used after the war for the benefit of the world.

Some plunk it down with a reverberating thud. Some mince and posture to,the accompaniment of fanfare and pho- tography. Some pretend they left their hats at home. Mr. Wendell Willkie, it seems to us—even if he should accomplish naught beside—has offered a pattern for decorum in meeting this delicate problem. His ap- proach to the ring was forthright and simple. Grasp- | ing his fedora firmly between thumb and forefinger, | he scaled it precisely to the center of the circle. Just in case, as he put it, “there is anyone who didn’t know I was going to run.” He said, in effect: “Here’s my | hat, what's your hurry?” The style and shape and color of Mr. Willkie's hat are perfectly distinct.

It is also Mr. Willkie's view that the hat must cover something more than an empty or addled pate. | The Republican Party, he says, can make its chosen chapeau fashionable with the American people next fall only if it can prove three things: (1) that the | war can be fought as effectively or more effectively | with a Republican instead of a Democrat in the White House; (2) that the Republican Party has a better understanding than the Democratic Party of postwar social and economic problems: (3) that the must be basically concerned with the use of air bases.
