NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, JIGGESTION A writer in the New York Post suggests that at the end of the war in Europe the Allies make no peace treaty with Germany and that the Germans be granted an armistice that might extend 10 or even 20 years. The writer's idea is that the Germans would thus be forced to do something about own political future, acting on their own designs but held strictly within the bounds of safety by the ! armistice terms. As soon as Allied nations could be convinced that the Germans had reached a place where their govern- ment was stabilized and where warlike schemes did not endanger the rest of the world, permanent peace terms could be decided upon One of the failures of peace treaties which fol- lowed the last war was that they were not flexible and were unable to meet conditions which arose a few years after the war was over. The situation which resulted was an impossible one and Germany was not able to obey certain requirements of the terms while the Allies were willing to disregard others. Final outcome was junking the entire peace settlement. This new proposal might eliminate the danger of a repetition of the procedure which already has been proved unsatisfactory. Certainly, under any armistice agreement, Germany could not begin at once a pro- gram of rearmament. Neither would it be possible for the military leadership of that nation to start at Andresen) Editor and Manager | Managing Editor | Business Manager | their | “who would lead [at once preparations for a new war.

And she cannot be allowed to once again | come under the domination of a maniac war monger. Perhaps the armistice suggestion would be the middle Germany road and the longest between wars. An Air Age Economy TR (New York Times) The air age has its brass tacks. Too often its tropospheric experts do not get down to them. But when Dr. D. H. Davenport of Curtiss-Wright projects 31, cent passenger fares and ton-mile costs for air freight sliding from 30 cents to 15 and 20 cents five | years after the war, he lays down an entire new set of coordinates for tomorrow’s economy. For the raiser of perishable orchids and the writer | of imperishable thoughts alike, he presents a tre- mendously widened market. Makers of everything | from women’s fashions to heavy machine parts must reconsider their points of origin, their potential cus- tomers, their warehouses and their home and branch inventories. Food experts agd, more importantly still, experts in the distribution and sale of perishable ! foods, demonstrated at a luncheon recently the superior taste and the market possibilities of Pacific | slope delicacies shipped by present DC-3 cargo planes over United Air Lines. At the rates foreseen by Dr. Davenport, in planes designed for the purpose and with the improved regularity and frequency of sched- ules resulting from the war's vast advances in the technology of the air, the whole business reaches far beyond the market for delicacies. It gets into bread and butter for us all, better bread and butter. For millions of men in the armed services and for their families the glamour of air travel has been made a very real thing in wartime. The general air passenger rate projected by Dr. Davenport at a little less than the present-day Pullman average \vill make the far corners of their own country ver them in peacetime. Add to that the new cheap fares wfcxmal]s proposed by Pan American Airways and the\ “same as steamer” air fares proposed by Grace Line nd other steamship aspirants for over-ocean air itravel. The far corners of the earth may soon he as familiar to their sisters and their cousins and their \uncles and their aunts as they are to the boys fighting | | there now. The airplane may never be sold in such numbers | as to make its manufacture grow like automubuo‘ ‘m’\knw in the Twenties. In fact, a very large mr; jcommerce, as Dr. Davenport shows, can be carried | lin such a small number of scheduled, airliners that it will not nourish the healthy aircraft industry our world position will demand as a matter of safety But his figures prove beyond doubt that air trans- | portation, as distinct from aircraft manufacture, is headed for the snowball of large volume and still further reduced costs. That will help. In fact of these well documented figures the of- | ficial view of the Air Transport Association is recently voiced to this newspaper by its president, Col. Edward S. Gorrell, that the airlines do not foresee THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— ) HAPPY BIRTHDAY B e SEPTEMBER 26 Dale Hillerman Mrs. James Ramsay, Jr. John S.

The Navy is under a fortunate direction of the stars HEART AND HOME: Women should be cautious under this con- figuration. It is well to pursue rou- tine tasks today.

Weariness under wartime conditions may be felt but should not be acknowledged. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Although | it may be a long time before the | close of the world conflict, jealous- | ies and apprehensions regarding the | disposal of relocation of manufac- turing plants will be widespread. | NATIONAL ISSUES: Healing of the minds as well as the bodies of returning war veterans will be of special concern. The stars presage | danger of grave mistakes in meet- ing psychological problems. Con- | trast between civilian comfort and battlefield hardships will be strik- | ingly evident to servicemen, who\ will realize the inequality of the‘ personal sacrifices of Americans. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: ‘The stars are read as presaging months and even years of hard | experiences before normal worldt {conditions can be restored. Tt is| dangerous to relax in any line ut‘ war work even though Nazi defeat | may be early attained. ‘ a possible or probable reduction in cargo rates seems below the level of brass tacks.
