That's one of the reasons the Civil Aeronautics Administration is airing its plan now for a program which would call for 3,000 post-war airfields and money to build the fields to the tune of 10 million dollars a year for the next 10 years. Such a proposal soon will be submitted to Con- gress through the Department of Commerce, one move | towards ensuring this country's leading position in | post-war aviation Just as the highway was the key to the deyelop- ment of the automotive world, so is the airport the key to the development of aviation, At present the CAA is completing a $400,000,000 program of building airports to meet the needs of the armed services. The work was begun three years ago - |the United States ‘| the interest of the national defense. [beon built, most of which will be permanently useful in civil aviation. Alaska has received a large share in this program, and facilities enabling more and | safer air transportation have been greatly improved in the Territory. But looking at the air system nationally we find | that at the present time there are only 286 places in which are approved stops for | scheduled airlines, and of these 174 are in need of improvements for safe and efficient service. If the | CAA is successful in pushing its program, eventually there will be 1,827 cities with airports which could accommodate air transport operations. | Of the 720 new applications on file, 612 are places ihsu‘(l in the CAA plan as requiring airport construc- | tion. So it is apparent that many of the applicants [ will have to wait for some time before putting their | plans’into effect. The future of Alaska hinges closely with the | development of air transportation. Compared with | the road systems in the States, Alaska Has no roads. Water transportation serves the coastal areas but the | hinterland will only be really opened up by air—and | at less expense. i Renouncing C izenship | (Washington Post) | There has been a good deal of misunderstanding {about Public Law No. 405, passed recently by Con- | gress and signed by the President. The law makes it | bossible 1or citizens of the United States voluntarily to renounce their citizenship—provided the Attorney | General finds ‘that such action is not contrary to Americans re- siding in foreign countries have always been able to | do this. Now Americans residing in the United States | can do it, too, if they so desire But the law emphatically does not—as has been mistakenly supposed — take citizenship away from | anyone. Nor does it empower the Government 0 ! deprive any person of his citizenship. primarily to enable persons of Japanese ancestry who happen to be American citizens by virtue of birth | in this country to give up their citizenship and declare themselves subject of Japan this—and in all probability a number of them will— then they may be treated as enemy aliens and in- terned accordingly. But none of them’ will be com pelled to renounce his citizenship. And none will have his citizenship taken away on grounds of his racial origin or his disloyalty to the United States. It would be an unparalled breach of American principles to revoke the rights of citizenship because of an individual's ancestry or because of his beliefs. To do so would make citizenship nothing more than a temporary franchise dependent upon good behavior jon. Minority elements in the population would be | rendered helpless. Indeed, no American could feel secure.
