NATIONAL REPRESENTATIV] Pourth Avenue Bidg., Seaitle, Wash, THE AIR TRAMP | ST i it all the discussion of international aviation little attention has been paid to the air tramp, Most of the talk is about liners. Thomas Olsen, partner in a | Norwegian shipping company, pleads for the air tramp in The Aeroplane, a British periodical devoted to aviation The tramp steamer is not much older than the middle of the nineteenth century. It filled a gap left by the liner, a type of ship which was soog differ- entiated to meet the needs of/a particular kind of | traffic and which plied as regularly as a train over fixed courses. Without the tramp, which picked up a | cargo wherever it was found and carried it wherever | it was needed, the steamer would never have been | able to meet the world’s commercial needs. i If the air tramp is to serve a similar purpose Mr. | Olson finds it necessary to do away with the restric- | tions on aviation that all countries have imposed. | In his opinion subsidies would make it impossible to | ryn air tramps. Competition must be fairly free and ‘ airports must be equipped with the proper facilities. | The analogy with the sea tramp cannot be stretched too far because of the larger capital investment re- quired for numeroys planes. A small company run two or three sea tramps at a profit, but not a similar number of air tramps, because of the small | carrying capacity and the need of highlv :ained crews | that cannot be picked up locally. In the old sailing days captains had to suggest m local manufacturers and merchants export oppol- tunities of which they know nothing. Mr. Olsen thinks that air tramps can perform a similar function, and | this because many out-of-the-way airports will not | be reached by liners and because it will be possible to | fly almost anywhere. Small machines, precious key | materials, engineers and foremen, models and a thou- iscellaneous articles will have to be sent at high | can | Stettinius has one definite hanm- for speed to their destination. Time sometimes means gore than money. Mr. Olsen is therefore all for reducing the formalities at airports to the vanishing point and for opening to the whole world all airports which are not strictly military l)eluls .md Credits fWashmgton Post) We quote below excerpts from testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs by Col. Spencer B. Eddy, G. S. S, Office of the General Purchasing Agent of the United States Army Forces in the Far East. Not cven a Collector of Internal Reve- nue, we fancy, could figure out the debits and credits involved in the transaction which Colonel Eddy de- tails: I want to emphasize the éxtent of .what you might call natural aid. We give them something on lend-lease; we get something back on reverse lend-lease. Take this question of food, for example There is a fellow in Santa hara cmu who grows lima beans. There a fellow in Gallatin Valley, in Montana, who grows peas; there is a fellow in Ohio who grows golden bantam corn. All those men raise those for seed, The United States Government takes the seed and sends it to Australia on lend- lease. That seed is turned over to a farmer in Australia and he plants a crop. Part of the units of his fertilizer, one of the units, is prob- ably phosphate from Florida; some of his farm machinery came from Illinois; some of his canning machinery came from the United States. He got some sulphur from Texas. All that came to Australia on lend-lease he Australian government made a con- tract with that farmer to grow a crop which the Australian government will pay for. The Australian government pays the canner to can it and the canner puts it in a can made of American tin plate whic came in or through lend-lease from Pittsburgh, and then he takes the can and it has to be put in a wooden case, and the chances are that he got the wood with which he made the box from New Zealand. Then it is shipped on an Australian railway on reverse lend-lease and put in an American warehouse that the Australian gov- ernment built and paid for and turned over to us from reverse lend-lease; and then when it is time to use that up it goes down to the docks, it is loaded by Australian stevedores that the Australian government pays and it is put on a boat that Australia gives on reverse lend-lease and the boat is provisioned and powered under reverse lend-lease. If it is coal that is used for power, that came from Australia, and that was under re- verse lend-lease. When the boat gets up north and it is unloaded on some of the docks that they built up in the islands out of Australian timber with Australian hardware which Aus- tralia paid for; then the food is stored in a temporary hut which is made of Australian steel and paid for by Australia. I might say, incidentally, that we are taking one-half of the sheet steel produced in Australia for our houses and warehouses at the present time. Then when it comes down to the problem of eating the food, the can is opened by an Australian-made can opener, it is cooked in an Australian-made stove and it is eaten with Australian knives and forks, out of an Aus- tralian mess kit, and all of that comes out of reverse lend-lease. The American boy who eats the food has completed the cycle, because the chances are that somewhere along the line his father back home had something to do with some of the products that eventually produced that prod- uct. That is reciprocal aid the way it works out in the field. seventeen consecutive yea! cap in dealing with foreign am- maym of the city, is back again in| | bassadors.
