When President Truman signed the present law in 1948, he specifically condemned its inadequacy and obvious bias, and urged Congress to revise it at the first opportunity. A bloc of Republicans and Southern Democrats has just thrown one opportunity down the drain. Perhaps in January, with a larger number of Senators interested enough to attend, this mistake can be rectified...

One cannot score many points for refusing them, but their reasoning shows important parallels with that of most other Americans and the State Department. These people, then, perceive the obvious economic fact that the $20,000,000 loan is financially feasible, and ignore the fact that it is motivated by political interest (witness the inescapably political timing of the project in the midst of Russian-Tito controversy...

With his labor troubles settled, he has pulled his operating costs per revenue ton mile down to 36.44?, but according to CAB, they're still above Eastern. Although National wound up fiscal 1949 last June with a piddling $38,963 profit, it earned $866,000 in the last six months of that year, thanks partly to a big boost in mail pay over 1948.
