DESTROYER OF THE FRONTIER
Aircraft Promises Such Swift and Easy
Transportation That Peoples Will
Not Be Rooted in Soil.

If you went in the ordinary way
from the Italian city Turin to Eng
land, you would change trains three
times, cross the channel by boat, force
yourself to be patient while locOmo-
lives coaled and took on water, pas
sengers embarked or alighted along
the railway, and customs officers went
through their fussy examinations. A
proper allowance of time, we would
say. would be 36 hours.
The other day, Captain Lauriat of
the Italian aviation corps made the
journey by airplane in Il hours and
two minutes. For him, there was no
such thing as frontiers, no delays ex-
cept those he himself willed, no Off
Gals in seedy uniforms to make a
mess of his baggage unless he elected
to let them.
1t Is the idea of internationalists
that We'll have q world state when
everything is SO mixed that there is
no Strengthening it out by national
command, when borders can be
crossed as one would county lines.
when transportation is SO swift and
easy that no peoples can be or will
desire to be rooted in the soil. Well.
should this come about, the world has
the instrument which will compass it.
1t is the flying machine.-Toledo
