Bill' Explained by Legion Auxiliary Workers By MRS. CHARLES B. GII.BKRT National President, American legion Auxiliary. The American Legion Auxiliary, ever since its organization, has cen-tered its work on aiding the war veteran and his family. The Auxili-ary in past years has aided veter- - ans of the last war. With the in-creasing number of veterans in the present war, the Auxiliary has stepped up its program to help the veteran in every possible way. A million veterans returned home in 1944. More and more are coming home each month. There are bound to be questions they will want to ask and problems they will have to solve. To ease this burden the Auxiliary under the leadership of its national president, Mrs. Charles B. Gil-bert of Norwich, Conn., has pre-pared questions and answers on some of the prob-lems which will affect the veter-ans and their families. Here nrp crime nerti- - IE. "Hfet nent questions: Mrs. C. B. Gilbert t f iikI what does "farm loan guaranty" mean. A. Under Title III of the serv-icemen's readjustment act of 1944, provision is made for the guarantee-ing by the administrator of veterans affairs of a loan to be used in pur-chasing land, livestock, machinery to be used in farming operations conducted by the applicant. Q. Does this mean that the vet-erans administration will make the loan? A. No. The law provides that administrator of veterans affairs may approve an application for the guaranty of a loan within certain limitations, but the actual Toans are mad by regularly established banks, lending agencies and private lenders. Q. What does the law specifically provide regarding the purchase of a farm and farming equipment? A. Any application made under this title for the guaranty of a loan to be used in purchasing any land, buildings, livestock, equipment, or implements or in repair-- 1 ing, altering or improving any build-ings or any equipment to be used in farming operations conducted by the applicant may be approved by the administrator of veterans affairs if he finds 1. That the proceeds of such loan will be used in payment for real or personal property pur-chased or to be purchased by the veteran, or for repairing, alter-ing or improving any buildings or equipment to be used in bona fide farmine oDerations conducted bv him. 2. That such property will be useful in and reasonably neces-sary for efficiently conducting such operations. 3. That the ability and experi-ence of the veteran, and the nature of the proposed farming opera-tions to be conducted by him, are such that there is a reasonable likelihood that such operations will be successful. 4. That the purchase price paid or to be paid by the veteran for such property does not exceed the reasonable normal value thereof as determined by proper ap-praisal. Q. Who is eligible to apply for this farm loan guaranty? A. A veteran who (1) has served in the active military or naval serv-ice of the United States on or after September 16, 1940, and before the officially declared termination of World War II; (2) shall have been discharged or released from active service under conditions other than dishonorable either after active serv-ice of more than 90 days or be-cause of injury in line of duty irre-spective of length in service; (3) applies for the benefits of this title within two years after separation from the military or naval forces, or within two years after the off-icial termination of the war. In no event may an application be filed later than five years after such termination of such war. Q. Who is eligible to receive re-adjustment allowance? A. A veteran described above who is residing in the United States and is completely unemployed or who is partially unemployed in that services have been performed for less than a full work week and the wages are less than the allowance under this title plus $3.00. Conference Irons Out fQC World Air Problems Jfflk Future of Commercial Flying Depends on Wr MB 'Freedom of An Pacts, Allowing Planes kpW To Fly and Land Anywhere. I&fffm By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. Haukhage has made a study of that highly important question: Freedom of the Air. The air transport command, with the help of the American aviation indus-try, has built up the greatest international aerial communication system in history. Military and civilian experts alike admit that this tremendous system that links the globe from Arctic to Antarctic and uriunl the world is the result of the "know-how,- " imagination, energy and initiative, which have made this nation what it is today. How shull the urts of wartime communication he woven into the etiansion of American trade development in the peace to come? Haukhage sets forth some of the leading military and rii Hi an aviation opinions in this series of two urtwles, appeuring as IJNCIU (Uniud Nations Council on International Organization) opens in San Francisco. Some time after when the forces of the occupation are with-drawn and the world once more set-tles back to peace, the greatest in-ternational air transport system which was ever built will largely cease to be. That system, the Air Transport Command of the U. S. army, criss-crosse- s the western hemisphere from Nome in Alaska to Rio de Janeiro; from Iceland to partment called the conference in Chicago last November. Represent-atives of 52 countries met. At the last minute the Soviet Union dropped out, but certain basic agree-ments were reached. This confer-ence Colonel Mitchell calls "the civ-il air part of the peace settlement" because it provided "in the main convention which was prepared, a proposed international organization 1 .mama uuy. 11 stretcnes eastward across the Atlantic, laces Europe and Africa, reaches India and then swings around the globe by way of Australia, through Honolulu to the Pacific coast. Over the ATC's more than a hun-dred and fifty landing fields, the American flag now flies. Big planes travel the routes at the rate of 51 million miles a month, which Is equal to 70 trips around the world at the equator every 24 hours. From the flagpoles on most of those bases, the Stars and Stripes will be lowered after the world has returned to peace. And strange as It may seem, the thing that worries the friends of commercial aviation mostj is not so much whether Old Glory flies free over those bases, as whether the air over them and the rest of the world is free to the extent that American planes will have access to those and other bases over the globe. We have achieved freedom of the seas. Why can't we have freedom of the air, too? I carried that question right into the Pentagon building to the office of one of the AAF officers whose Job includes worrying over that im-portant question. He is William Mitchell, lieutenant colonel. United States army air force, assistant ex-ecutive to the assistant secretary of war for air. This was his answer (Colonel Mitchell made it clear that he was expressing his personal views and was not speaking for the war department, but he stated that Vile rtnmiin.p ... cVtrnrl Ktr n.no wnicn might, with respect to air matters within its competence di-rectly affecting world security, en-ter into appropriate agreements with any general organization set up by the nations to preserve peace." Colonel Mitchell believes that "the degree, or lack of it, to which the world can be linked by aviation, will be an important element in deter-mining whether the nations of the world can be brought together in peaceful understanding." Preliminary Agreements Made at Chicago Meeting Now, what did the Chicago confer-ence achieve? After considerable discussion in which there were sharp differences of opinion, the conference prepared two multilateral agreements on commercial operations which were separate from the main convention and which any country was free to sign if it wished. They are con-cerned with the "five freedoms of the air" which will be taken up in detail in a later article. They are (1) the right to fly over a country (2) the right to land for non-traffi- c purposes (3) the right to disembark passengers, mail and freight from the country of origin of the aircraft (4) the right to embark traffic for the country of origin and (5) the right to do business along the way. Because all of the countries were not prepared to accept all the free-doms, a choice was provided. One agreement offered, between the sig-natory eoUntries, merely the first other members of the air staff): "Conflicts over artificial barriers on intercourse by sea," he said, "used to be a fertile breeding ground for wars. But for 200 years vessels of any nation have been able to trav-el the oceans in peacetime without international supervision, and as a result, this source of international conflict has disappeared." If he had stopped there I might have left his office feeling quite re-assured. But that was only the be-ginning. Each Country Rules The Airways Above It The analogy between freedom of the sea and freedom of the air, it seems, is an attractive one but it won't hold water. "An airplane does not merely touch the coast of a country," the colonel explained, "it may penetrate Into the remotest interior. Ac-cordingly it has become fairly well established that a nation has juris-diction over the airspace above its land to the same extent that it has jurisdiction over the land itself. The result is that, in the absence of agreement between countries, no plane may cross a foreign border. The air is not free, it is closed." American ambition doesn't like to be fenced in and already we have mapped a pattern of air routes we'd like to establish when peace comes. Those routes will encircle the globe. Our own civil aeronautics board is in the process of holding hearings to determine which carriers will be certified to fly these routes. But the certificates issued, says Colonel Mitchell, "will be mere scraps of paper unless other coun-tries consent to operations by Unit-ed States carriers." Arrival at such common consent Is in the making today, and has been greatly advanced since the state de- - two freedoms. That is right to fly over the country and the right of non-traffi- c stop, which means per-mission to stop at an airport for refuelling and such purposes. The other grants all five freedoms, but the fifth could be denied by any country on proper notice to other contracting countries. At the time this is written the "Two-Freedom- agreement has been signed (but not definitely ac-cepted) by 34 countries, accepted by four (including the United States, Canada, the Netherlands and Nor-way). The "Five Freedoms" agreement has been signed but not definitely accepted by 22 countries; definitely accepted by two, including the Neth-erlands (without the fifth freedom) and the United States. The main work of the conference was the writing of a convention on International Civil Aviation and In-terim Agreement which will set up an international organization. The conference also recommended a model form of agreement on com-mercial services to be used in bi-lateral negotiations. "The work of the Chicago confer-ence." said Colonel Mitchell, "is merely a blueprint for further ac-tivity. A start has been made, but. like Dumbarton Oaks, much remains to be done." Further details of some of the problems involved and the attitudes revealed in negotiations so far will be set forth in a second article ap-pearing next week. Australia's famous Empire Air Training Scheme, which provided airmen for Britain, has ended. Ten thousand trained Aussies were promised, 35.000 provided. Of them, more than 6.000 have been killed, 2.000 are missing, 1,000 are prison-ers. 4 World Peace Hopes Converge On Conference in San Francisco An Organization With Responsibility, Power Envisioned by Planners By JOHN E. JONES Released by Western Newspaper Union. Out of the Yalta conference of the Big Three came the electrify- - ferences between them must be ironed out in order to build an or-ganization that will be effective and enduring. Everything Arranged Early. Experienced protocol officers have had to work out in advance details of seating arrangements at meetings both general and committee as well as at banquets and dinners, and hotel room assignments. Transporta- - ing news that San Francisco had been selected for the coming United Nations conference "We have agreed," they said, "that a confer-ence of United Nations should be called to meet at San Francisco in the United States on April 25, 1945, to prepare the charter of such en organization, along the line pro-posed in the informal conversations at Dumbarton Oaks." Official announcement came to San Francisco's Mayor Lapham from Acting Secretary of State Joseph C. Grew with the further ad-vice that "Representatives of the department of state will get in touch with you in a day or so with regard to necessary arrangements for the conference." And so San Francisco, most western of our American citiea founded In 1776, the same year as our Declaration of Independence, becomes the focal point of men's hopes from all parts of the world for enduring peace. San Francisco, the Golden Gate of the '49ers, be-comes now the new Golden Gateway to future security for all mankind. If you take a map of the world and draw lines from Russia to South Africa, from Egypt to China, from Central Europe to India, from the Philippines to the Scandinavias, from Greenland to Australia, and from Canada to New Zealand, all of these lines will cross or converge at San Francisco. So San Francisco becomes the world peace center. No World War III.' Indicative of the importance of tion from air fields to hotels and from hotels to meeting places had to be provided. San Francisco is a cosmopolitan city with a population made up of persons from all parts of the world. Many of its taxi drivers speak other languages in addition to Eng-lish. Each taxicab carries a sign indicating the languages that its driver speaks, so that foreign dele-gates may pick out a driver con-versant in his own language. Headquarters for the United Na-tions convention are in one of the large hotels on Knob hill. Meetings are being held in several of the large public buildings in San Fran-cisco's Civic center, such as War Memorial Opera house, Veterans' auditorium and the Civic auditorium. Rules governing the press and the public follow in general the pattern established at the Chapultepec con-ference in Mexico city, where the press had admittance to all general meetings and information sources from committee meetings. Many of the general meetings are open to the public, so far as space makes that possible. It is a privilege long to be remembered to sit in on a session where a constitution of the United Nations is being created. Details to Committees. Much of the actual business of the convention of necessity is done in committee meetings where plans and details are formulated, dis-cussed, changed, and worked up into a cohesive program, to be pre-sented to the genera! conference. this meeting are some or the state-ments made by statesmen and pressmen. Veteran newsman Mark Sullivan: "The greatest present need of the vorld is to see that there shall be no World War III. This is the beginning of everything and the objective of everything." Lt. Cmdr. Harold Stassen, dele-gate: "I hope that San Francisco may mean for the world of to-morrow what Constitution hall at Philadelphia meant for the United States of America." Anthony Eden, foreign secretary of the British empire: "This may be the world's last chance to create an effective peace organization com-bining responsibility with power." Attendance at the meeting bears out this importance. Forty-fou- r nations from all continents of the o.nrth art rpnrP5PnlpH Tt has hppn Here differences come up necessi-tating reference back to committee, often time and time again. It is no easy job to create an instrument to govern international relations ac-ceptable to people from every continent of the earth. But present day transportation and communications have erased the barriers of distance and isola-tion. There is no isolation, we are a part of a family of nations. Kipling wrote, "East is east and west is west and ne'er the twain shall meet." But Kipling was probably wrong. The "twain" are meeting where the east an I the west come together geogra, ically and spiritu-ally in San Francisco, at the Golden Gateway to future peace and securi-ty among the nations of the earth. The peoples of the United Nations estimated that delegates and their attendants, secretaries, advisers-expe- rts on all matters of government total some 1.500 persons. News gatherers press and radio number Upwards of 1,000. San Francisco is host to from 2,500 to 3,000 persons. Our state department has had rep-resentatives in San Francisco since March preparing for the big meet-ing, which taxes every facility of the coast city Hotels, which have already been full to overflowing for the last two years or more, have to take care of several thousand more. The department of state has reserved 3.200 rooms in the larger aotels, taking over entirely several yt the largest. The San Francisco chamber of commerce has advised people not directly connected with ihe conference to stay away from the city during April and May. No one knows how long the con-ference will remain in session. First plant were for approximately four weeks. It may last eight weeks or longer, for a big job-- has to be done. East meets West, and all of the dif- - Asiatics, Europeans, Africans, Americans north and south all have their hearts and hopes in the convention beginning on April 25. Who knows but that in their hearts the common people of our enemy, both European and Asiatic, are putting their hopes in this world meeting for an end to the catas-trophe which they started but could not finish. Atop Mt. Davidson, 900 feet above the city of San Francisco, is a huge cross. Here annually some 50.000 of the city's diverse population have gathered on Easter Sundays to wor-ship at the foot of this cross. Here all forget their differences of race and creed in a common reverence. Never before has this cross been lighted at any other time than Holy Week and Easter Now, however, it is illuminated during the entire in-ternational conference that it may be a guiding light to bring to-gether the east and the west; and in the spirit for which it stands-ma- ke brothers of us all in the United Nations of the World.
