Three Years Old Today—
BOMBERS AND DOUGHBOYS WILL WIN WAR BUT
ATLANTIC CHARTER EXPECTED TO AID PEACE
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14 — ()-
Bombers and cannon and mud-
slogging infantry will win the war.
They cannot win the peace. In
fact, nobody knows just now what
can do that job. But there to some
feeling, especially among White
House and state department of-
ficials here, that the Atlantic Char-
ter may help.
In the next few months such
differences as persist will have to
be reconciled because the problems
they reflect are now coming to a
head. The 8-point charter, three
years old today, to entering the
most critical period of its existence.
It may become a strong base
—relatively somewhat like the
U. 8. Declaration of Independ-
ence—for whatever peace er-
ganization is possible It may
become a mausoleum of hopes
for a brave new world that
didn't quite come eft.
One of the questions which
must be answered to whether
the world's leading powers can
get together on organizing a
workable league to preserve
peace. Another, and perhaps the
most critical problem to how
the victorious Allied powers will
interpret the charter's first ag-
grandisement, territorial or
other.”
Does this mean that the United
States should not keen the Pacific
islands which Jspan formerly .held
under mandate and which Ameri-
Firemen extinguished a brush
fire at 1530.N. 8th street Sunday at
1:45 p.m The fire had spread to
nearby shrubs and lumber when
the fire department was called.

enemy control?
.American Army and Navy chiefs
wan the American flag permanent-
ly planted in the Marshalls and
Carolines They argue that con-
trol of strategic bases In those
groups is essential to maintenance
of peace in the Pacific
Another issue and one which
brought the difference of opinion
between Prime Minister Churchill
and President Roosevelt, revolves
around the charter's guarantees
about popular government and no
territorial changes except where the
people agree. The question is:
would these guarantees prevent Al-
lied control of defeated Germany,
dismemberment of its territory and
dictation of its government?
The British parliament became
highly excited over that issue Isst
spring snd Prime Minister Church-
ill finally said that perhaps the
charter needed revising to conform
to changed conditions. More recent-
ly he has indicated that the ques-
tion was one of interpretation and
the charter would stand unrevised.
As for the American view, it can
be stated on the highest authority
that (1) President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull thinks the charter
Is all right as it is (2) they do
not consider that it applies in any
way to Germany and (3) they re-
gard it as a basic statement of
aims and ideals rather than a legal
document with' exact meanings,
The third point to taken to
mean that in relations to speci-
fle questions et post-war ter-
ritorial settlements, economic
planning and the like, the
charter will be subject to the
widest possible interpretation.
The charter was promulgated by
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill on Aug. 14. 1941,
at the conclusion of the first of
their conferences when they met
abroad warships st Argentia, New-
foundland. In January 1942, It was
subscribed to by the United Na-
tions. making it in effect a United
Nations charter.
The charter's eight points. in
brief:
1. No aggrandizement, terri-
torial or otherwise.
2. No territorial changes ex-
cept as the people affected
wish.
3. All peoples have the right
to choose their own rovern@
ments.
4. Access by all states to the
trade and raw materials of the
world.
5. International collaboration
In the economic field to obtain
“improved labor standards, we
onemic advancement and social
security.
6. Establishment of peace in
which men may live "In free-
dem from fear and want.”
7. Freedom of the seas,
8. Immediate disarmament
aggressor nations, encourage-
ment of world disarmament and
eventual abandonment of the
use of force in international af-
fairs.

Today’s Firestone DeLuxe Champion Tires
Setting New Records for Mileage and Safety
ON THE fighting fronts and on the home front, more than six
million Firestone Tires, made with synthetic rubber, are helping to
transport vitally important manpower and materials. In every respect,
these tires are upholding the Firestone tradition of “Best in Rubber-
Synthetic or Natural.”
Today’s Firestone Tires are setting new records in mileage and
safety because for more than 20 years Firestone has been a pioneer
and pacemaker in synthetic rubber. This position of leadership has
enabled Firestone to develop special compounds, new constructions
and improved manufacturing methods for synthetic rubber tires.
Ad a result, Firestone DeLuxe Champion Tires now provide many
new and revolutionary featured in addition to duch patented and
exclusive advantages as Safti-Lock Gum-Dipped Cords for greater
• body strength and extra blowout protection — Vitamic Rubber for
longer life — Gear Grip Tread for utmost protection against skidding
and for added mileage — and that priceless ingredient which we
Americans call “know-how” backed by 44 years of experience in
building many millions of quality tires.
So when you get permission from your ration board to buy new
tires, buy time-tested, extra value Firestone DeLuxe Champions — the
tires that stay safer longer.
