obedience to economic law that is almost as mper
ious as the law which makes water run down hill.
1t must be recognized that far as the staples are
concerned, food markets are now world markets. and
everywhere must pay prices that consumers
are willing to pay in tn countries that need food most
This is unfortunate for the consumers in food-produc
ing countries. Maybe it is unfair. But what can be
done about it?
Any attempt to stop the operation of this law might
result in greater evils than high prices

THE GIFT OF THE FLYERS.

The men who first attempted to fly across the At
lantc gave something far more precious to mankind
than the mere proof that this feat is possible.
They renewed in the whole world the tides of cour-
age and imagination Even if neither American nor Aus
tran, BrOn Frenchman had successfully negotiated
the trip still the effort would have been more than
worth while. For somehow, the big planes rose from
the EARTH the spirits of lifted with them and their
thoughts went up into the world of infinite possibilities
Though death and disaster prevent the adventurers
from reaching their goal there be no ngorious end
ing to an undertaking begun in such bravery and
thusasm. Even the prosac stay-at-home folk will turn
back to earning their daily bread with new light in
heir eyes, and squaring of their shoulders, be-
cause the flyers have listened to magnations whisper
that perhaps the impossible possible after ALL and have
had the courage to 60 and see.
