Smart, suave Juan Terry Trippe last week stirred the aviation industry with exciting news. Out of the hangar he wheeled Pan American Airways' grandiose postwar plans. Come war's end-and Civil Aeronautics Board approval-Pan Am plans to spend some $52,000,000 to expand its Latin American routes. And Juan Trippe stirred the earth-bound citizenry with news: Pan Am expects to slash flying time from the U.S. to Latin America by approximately two-thirds and will cut fares even below the present steamship rates. Examples: the fare from Manhattan to Rio de Janeiro will...
...Westward, Poland must expand to include "ancient Pomorze [Pomerania], Upper Silesia, East Prussia, with its broad outlet to the sea, and Polish outposts on the Oder." No plan for German dismemberment had gone as far as this: it would lop from prewar Germany a large (roughly 26,000 sq. mi.),populous (about 6,500,000), rich (coal and iron mines, farm lands) territory, most of which had not belonged to the Slavs since the 11th Century.

We know that TIME Air Express is looked forward to each week by almost every U.S. family living in Latin America and the West Indies and by thousands of other business, political and cultural leaders. We have watched its operations expand to include special printings (for quicker delivery) in Mexico City, Bogota, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. . . . But the great question is whether TIME-by-Air is helping to bring Americans of both continents closer together-and now the time has come to take stock frankly...
Should U.S. firms be permitted to join international cartels in order to expand foreign trade? The Justice Department's Antitrust Division has invariably answered this prime postwar question with a definite "no." Last week a top U.S. businessman answered with a qualified "yes." Up before a Senate subcommittee stepped grey, urbane Ralph W. Gallagher, 63, president of Standard Oil of New Jersey. He had asked to be heard on the bill sponsored by Wyoming's Senator Joseph O'Mahoney, requiring registration of international cartel agreements. Said President Gallagher: Standard Oil agrees "in principle" with the bill. Standard...
