Everybody, of course, is a lot

dren to a neighbor

small thread a heavy Japanese

When you wake up -don't move!

Sen. Owen Brewster has returned from
Argentina with substantially the same con-
tusions about conditions there as Andrew
Jackson Higgins brought back several
months ago. Both the Maine Senator and
the New Orleans .industrialist have noth-
ing but praise for President Peron.
Mr. Brewster doesn’t go as far as Mr.
Higgins did in extolling the Argentine
president and attacking our official at-
titude toward him. But he does call our pol-
icy “schizophrenic,” and he presents Gen-
eral Peron as a man of energy and ap-
parently peaceable intentions.
It may seem foolish to take issue, at
a distance of some 5000 miles, with Mr.
Brewster’s recent, first-hand observations.
Yet we cannot forget all the factors that
went into the generally accepted portrait
of General Peron as a Fascist-type dictator
with Nazi sympathies.
We cannot forget the charges of former
Ambassador Braden, who spent consider-
ably more time in Argentina than either
Senator Brewster or Mr. Higgins. We
cannot forget the State Department’s
White paper, ill-timed as it was. Nor can
we forget the story of the Farrell-Peron
dictatorship as told by American corres-
pondents it Argentina, with their per-
sonal experiences of news suppression, of-
ficial dressings-down, and threats of vio-
lence.
We also are aware of how easily a
strong government can arrange for
an official guest to see only the right
things, talk with only the right people,
and carry away precisely the impression
that the government wishes him to have.
So we are reluctant to accept complete-
ly Mr. Brewster’s assurance that all is
peaceful, happy and democratic in Argen-
tina. At the same time we are grateful
to him for bringing back some remarks
by Argentine businessmen which, to us,
and disturbingly

Bv JAMES J SDIEBIG
Associated Press Aviation Reporter
The United States government Ls watching the
operation of its present commercial air agreements
with 28 countries for clues to the prospects ot an
an early world-wide pact
If experience with agreements now in effect is
satisfactory, it is fait to assume that the basic
principles will be offered fol world adoption when
the 46 member-states of the Provisional Interna-
tional Civil Aviation Organization 'PICAO) meet
next May
Tiie goal of a tree sky tor peaceful flight was
set at a world conference at Chicago In 1944 The
Chicago conference fell short of the mark, and
both the United States and the British began
making bi-lateral or two-nation agreements for
air transport rights Eventually, ot course, they
had to consider making one with each other.
This brought together head-on the two opposing
principles: The United States belief in complete
freedom to carry international traffic through the
air (but not a nations internal traffic); and the
British belief in strict economic control, with a
division of the business.
The two concepts were brewed into a pact
that satisfied both. It was reached at Bermuda,
which gave this tyjte agreement its name. Both
great nations agreed to sign no aviation pact
less liberal than the Bermuda document
The United States’ 28 agreements meet the
Bermuda terms as a minimum. A dozen more
agreements are on the fire The United Kingdom
has at least a score of such pacts
It would appear relatively simple, then,
open the skies around the globe to the extent of
However, there are two im-
On the day that Harold Stassen an-
nounced his candidacy for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1948, there
came a report that President Truman
might propose some changes in the Wag-
pdfr'Act to the new Congress. This co-
incidence might serve as a definite re-
minder that Harry Truman seems to be a
candidate for President, too.
Styeral of Mr. Truman’s recent actions
indicate that he has taken stock of the
vote and its implications, and
that he will strive to take the initiative
away from the Republican Congress in
giving the people what they obviously
want
As a result, Mr. Truman is being spoken
of in decidedly less hopelecs or pitying
tones than he was a month ago. At the
moment his stock seems to have bounced
back. Of course November 1948, is a long
way ahead. But right now. with the de-
feated Democrats apparently drawing to-
gether and the victorious Republicans be-
ginning to wrangle over power and priv-
ilege, the 1948 race shapes up as the hot-
test and closest in decades, with each side
strong enough to worry the daylights out
of the other.
