Washington

' WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Among some of our more thoughtful officials the feeling is growing that comprehensive arrangements regarding raw materials might be worked out with Great Britain in return for lend-lease aid. We are doing that with South American countries in return for lend-lease help. We are arranging with the British a right to acquire further bases that might be needed for our defense, But lendlease offers also other broad constructive possibilities concerning raw materials controlled by the * British ‘Empire. Congress is now considering the second lend-lease appropriation. Its passage will bring the pg total to 13 billion dollars. A third § lend-lease appropriation will be sought after the first of the~year. i the. war goes. on our outlay will pass far beyond anything now . scheduled. Some are advocating a doubling of our piossam What is it all to go for .. , « Just the ‘defeat of Hitler, restoration of the status que. and then another long drive by “have-not” nations which is, to end in still another war? If we allow that. cycle to start again we shall show ourselves unbelievably stupid. | Negotiations are going on with the British regardtng benefits to be granted us in return for lend-lease aid.

In certain of them, British government control is such. that it ought to be possible to work out a joint international holding company.” That is more desirable

than .assigning to us any specific quantity of ma-|.

terial. It is more desirable because we ought to participate in the organizing and direction of the post-war world, and control of the post-war world will be exercised to a large extent through raw materials. With the United States and Great Britain sharing that control, sharing the bulk of the world’s seapower, the bulk of its ocean-carrying capacity, the bulk of the world’s gold reserves, we have between -us the means of guiding the peace and building mienational law and order.

Time for a Broad Approach

THIS IS THE TIME to take a broad, farseeing course. It is no time for mere quibbling with the British over small details, ‘It is not a simple matter of ‘when are the British going to pay back the money or its equivalent in goods. Lend-lease is likely to be too. vast an operation for any such elementary kind of settlement. Furthermore, we are putting up lend-lease not as an act of charity, not as a commercial loan, but be-

cause we believe it to be to our interest that Hitler be

get the money back but that this time the effort shall

It is just as well that lend-lease cannot be paid back in dollars. For then we should have our dollars but nothing else except the dismal prospect that the defeated “have-not” nations would set themselves for another world war just as soon as the children were grown again. There are possibilities now, through lend-lease, for far more constructive arrangements that will help jelp build a sounder world. The time to go into these matters is now, because the American people and surely the British people as well, want to know how| the defeat of Hitler can be turned into insurance against still another world war, Once we could be stire on ‘that point, there would be no limit to our determination to clean up the whole mess now,

‘Break Power of Clubs’

Neither could recall, however, whether the Board’s action had been final in rescinding the season passes. Mr. Joseph insisted that no such action ever had been taken. Board members decided unanimously last spring to discontinue sale of season tickets after October, this year. The decision was duly recorded. Newspapermen who attended the Park Board sessions remembered that this action had beew taken for the expressed purpose of “breaking the power of the golf clubs” on public courses. It was the opinion of Board members that the clubs which have operated for years on all municipal courses were dominating the play on the courses. Board members and other Park officials stated they had received numerous complaints from patrons who were not club members on this score. It was decided without dissent that the Board must act to “show these clubs that the Board was going to run the. golf: courses, not the golfing clu Board members decided the \best way to “break the power” of \the clubs was to discontinue the tickets purchased extensively b club members and charge a flat fee. The fee was. to be determined before next spring, but a 50-cent charge was. suggested. This action was discussed twice— first last spring and again in August. After the August meeting, several Board members asked - newspapermen not, to “play up” the reason for abandoning the season tickets because that would start “as row.” When the news stories on the Board's decision were published in August, members of ‘the Links Association protested to the Board,

Draw Up Fees ‘Schedule

A meeting between Public Links Association representatives and Board members was held at the Indianapoliz Athletic Club on the evening of Aug. 19. It was understood that this meeting .was held at the

Hall to kéep the controversy out of the newspapers. At the meeting; it was understood, the Board asked the Association members to draw up a schedule of seasonal fees to be presented. to 0 the Board at a later date. The Association then draw up. a schedule and presented it to the Board Aug. 28. Board members asked ‘time to consider the schedule and ted they would take some kind of action at the first meeting in October, Yesterday's meeting of the Board was its first October meeting and a delegation of 20 golfing club members and Association representatives appeared at the Park Board office.
