TLTIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Wash NATIONAL REF =arth Avenue B UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER The armistice in World War T came too soon. Any veteran who fought that conflict will say so. They t that armistice, they whose very lives probably were saved when the whistles shrieked and the bells tolled on Novmeber 11, 1918, spreading the news that guns of war were silenced—silenced forever, the peacemakers said. What a bitter dose that truce became by 1940, for fighters who had beaten down Kaiser Wilhelm's G and who believed that they had ended Germany’s war-making. Because of that armistice their sons were to march to war—with millions of other men's sons—against Hitler's Germany. For every life saved because Germany was permitted to craw out in 1918 without having World War I come home to her, thousands of lives have ended in the cauldron of World War II. With thousands of other parents, veterans of World War I, have wept when they received World War II's grim notification: “We regret to inform you that your son—" than any other group, they have been in- this conflict not end until it was driven Germany.

They see Allied arms racing across the Fatherland faster than the once “all-powerful” Wehr- macht went acros® the Lowlands-in 1840. They know now that German soldiers are not supermen. | The leaders and soldiers of this Wehrmacht will not be able to say in 1965: “We were not beaten in 1945. The home front fell apart.” With their comrades of all nations, the sons of the veterans of 1918 are doing the job better than their fathers were permitted to do it. | Air Parcel Post (New York Times) | A broad extension of the benefits of air express is proposed in a bill creating airmail parcel post service, which is now before a committee of the House of Representatives . Exploratory shipments made by the airlines have already demonstrated that it is | feasible to carry perishable products economically from | farm to market in many areas. Airmail parcel post would carry such trade a step further by making | possible fast movement of fresh vegetables, fruits and specialized products in small quantities for long dis- | tances, from even the smallest producer to the indi- | vidual customer. This would materially expand the market, already a growing one, for specialized products of the farm and garden now marketed under brand names. Parcel post by air, in the-reverse direction, would enable the small-town dweller and the farmer to order goed supplies and repair parts from far-away market centers and receive them within hours rather than days cr weeks. The shipment of seeds, small machin- ery parts, specialized drugs, crop and orchard spray | materials, and the like, would be expedited. Some 129,000,000 persons living in 22,000 towns and villages or |en Rural Free Delivery mail routes would be the | beneficiaries of such a new service. One useful by- | product wculd be to assure a still larger use of an | expanded commercial air fleet after the war and the employment of the flying and ground personnel neces- ary to operate it. There would appear to be every reason to authorize the extension of the benefits of airmail to parcel post at the appropriate time.

Some British officials thought the gold should remain in Germany until the Allies could talk the matter over. However, U. S.

The House Foreign Affairs Com- mittee was meeting in a closed- deor session when GOP Represen- tative John Vorys of Columbus, Ohio, ked: “The war’s about over in Europe. There'll be some more mopping-up but the war’s actually ions, finished.” But from the other end of the came the charming voice of Helen Gahagan Douglas, Con- Congresswoman wouglas’ husband, |Major Melvyn Douglas, the movie star, has been stationed in the India-Burma theatre. She has not seen him for more than two years. | | SURPLUS warc PLANTS | | Shipbuilder Henry Kaiser gave some sage advice to Senator Jim |Murray’s Small Business Committee the other day on the disposal of | war plants. Kaiser told the committee that the future use to which war plants }are put will largely determine | whether or not this country has full employment after the war. | He pointed out that certain monopolistic businessmen are anxi- ous to buy some war plants merely for the purpose of closing them down, thus preventing their use by competitors after the war. Then Kaiser droped a bombshell. | “Until such a time as the Gov- crudely worded, the Surplus Prop- erty Board didn’t know how to in- terpret it. “I have not been able to find out what the policy is under which these plants will be disposed of," he said. “I don't know whether they will be disposed of for com- petitive dollars or full employment.” Kaiser then went on to recom- mend that the plants be leased or sold on a temporary basis to busi- nessmen who would attempt to em- ploy the maximum number of men in their plants. He suggested that the leases or sales be reviewed after six months or a year, to de- termine whether the purchaser was getting as much gainful employ- ment out of the plant as possible. ' Committee Chairman Murray backed Kaiser's plan, pointed out that we should take some risks in the reconstruction period to assure prosperity. rapidly, recommended that U. S. remove all the gold and cur- rency to Paris, thus frustrating any legalistic twaddle after Germany surrenders . . .
