\ Political Parallel.
(NeN York Tim CS.)

Americans who have contemplated with some dstastc the recent acrimO- nious course of politics in this Coun- try, where impossible motives are daily aScribed to opponents through partisan bias where 8 CarClessnc&s of fact is 1amcntably common, and where foreign relations ol tho high est importance are used as the foot ball of contests with domestic 3d- Versaries. may be rhccred by re- hinder that we arc not alone in thcSc diversions. That something Of the sort may happen anywhere appears from d passage in tho entertaining critique of Mir. Orlando's policy pub lished by the SccOlo Of Milan. The Secolo disapprovcs of Orlando in his controversy with Mr. Wilson as much as our republican friends disapprONcd of Mir. Wilson in his controversy with Orlando; and as ono of the short cOmingS of tho former premier tho SccolO cites tho reaction in America, where is says that
 Wilson's antagonists found them selves driven to uphold him on tho Italian question s;,r ply on accoHnt of the violent and indecent Campa ign which Orlando had permitted the Italian press to foment against the head of the American state,
 Now, we all know that "Nilson's antagonists'' did all they could to as sist what the SecOlO calls 'a violent and indecent campaign:' Senator Lodge discovered the ltHlanity of Plume as soon as the president said il ought to go to tho JugoSaNS; lcad- ing republican newspapers became highly pro- Italian, regard less or their previous attitude. aS soon as 1t was discovered that the president dis agreed with the Italian government. Orlando, indeed, seems |" have had more enduring support in Am erica than at home.
 But since the SecOlo disapproves of Orlando. ii readily accepts tho theory that the republicans rallied Loyalty behind inc president, who had been challenged by d forcigner-just as readily aS tho republicans took up the view. which may or may not have l been more accurate, tha all Italy, l without regard to party lines. had l united behind, the premler who had l been challenged by foreigner.

T,1nncIIing tho World.
(Mcriden EcCOrd.D

England seems to be going funnel mad. There never used to he any great amount of enthusiasm over there even for tho "Tuppenny Tube" of London; but now everybody all at CnCc is talking about digging railroad tunnels everywhere.
 The channel tunnel has started it. That onG-d%CusScd project is actually being undertaken, and it is expected that England and France will have direct railroad com muniCatiOn by tho simmer of 1928. With that settled, imaginative engineers and romancers are looking for other waters to tunnel under. And thcrc arc plenty of al turing possibilities.
 It is proposed to tunnel the Bos- p0ruS, SO as to provide direct rail- road connection with tn" Orient. It would be possible then to go by through train from London to Bag dad. or indeed from Lcndon to EoH, = bay.
 Another pl"n rontomplatcs the tunnclIing of the Irish Sea. That would bind EnGland and Ireland more closely together commercially, and would make Ireland q "uuicll entry door" for Americans bound for England or the continent. That is 1 to say, (ship passengers would land

Yet the DOmiNiOn needs more inhabitants in it's farming regions and ;hc oNoIusiOn policy makes moro 0p- parent tho hope that large numbers Of Americans will continue to ho attract ''l across the border. In 191G-1S the immigration from inc British isles was :'hout 20. .nn0, compared with i 0,000 in 1913, when the numbers rOm!nE from the United States were 160.000 in 1916-1S. compared with 1%9.h .h00 in 1918.

WELCOME, EXPLORERS.

Late yesterday afternoon New York, in the name of the United States, ex- tended the best wishes and congrat- uIations of America to it's explorers and scientists who so lately attained a successful flight across the ocean from this country 10 tho Azores, For tueal and England. The downpour Of rain interfcrcd with the program Of aviation committees who were to greet them from the air but the reception was none inc less noteworthy. In ad- dition to the flyers who &ucccedcd. headed by Commander Albert C. Read. Commander Towers and Lieu tenGnt-CommandCr BclIinCcr, of the machines which were forced to aIieht upon the water during inc first leg or their flight, were on the transport Zeppelin which brought them homo. The aptnoSS Of tho name of the ship may he q coincidence but they went over in a flying boat and returned in the "Zcppelin."
 Few in inc crowd which saw them land had any conception of tho magni- tudc of their feat and it's influence on the future of aviation. When Colum- bus returned from 6 new world tn the old he was probably received with enthusiasm and accord by a circle oi friends, but it is doubtful if many re alized the history that was being writ ten by the entry of tho continent of North America into the civilized world. It took many years for the newly discovered land to become well known and useful There were none who dared predict future such as it has seen. How many arc there i'll the United States who dare foretell what the future of a science whose opening chapters are now being written win be? How many will venture to fore cast tho full future of tho aeroplanc? Not many we arc sure. Most of them will not go far enough in describing the air world Of 100 years from now.
 It is satisfying to know that the names of Americans will be written in large type when the history Of a.via- ton is nearer completion than it is now. An American art, Americans have made the greater part of the big events in it's developments so far. Others also have taken a good part in it's affairs but the United States has been first in successful experimental ton. Welcome to the Columbus of the air, from as from all others. We appreciate your hardihood in at tempting the flight and your skill in putting it through.
