Events lately have afforded q happy background
for this thought We have seen q procession OF Annsrt-
can capitalists and engineers marching toward the south
for the purpose OF helping the Latin Americans develop
their own resources. They have immense reservoirs OF
natural wealth, but owing to,a number Of exisencies they
have not been able to draw upon them to the fullest ex.
tent. The war has. Of course. retarded commercial ana
Industrial progress. and now the alert business men OF
the Big Brother to the north are coming to show the
Isouthlanders how unlimited their possibilities arc,
To facilitate the new dewlopmcnsth United States
shipping board has recently placed 1:S large vessels at
the disposal Of the South American republics 50 as TO
reopen the channels for much needed import as w~u rs
for export, and a large passenger Steamship service u
planned to be inaugurated in the near future
The principal hindrancc for a fun development Of
South American trade has hitherto been the lack OF
transportation facilities for European and North Amer
lean business; some of the republics have maintained
merchant fleets, but generally the vessels were too small
for ocean-going trade, and. in addition. whatever ships
there were. were badly needed for intercommunication
between the republics themselves.
In this connection it is sermane to call attention
to the comprehensive plans recently formulated for tho
purpose of creating a. Pan-Anerican railroad which will
make it possible for the Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires
business man to travel direct to New York, Philadelphia,
Washington, Baltimore, Boston, and other large centers
on the northern continent. True, it will not be an ideal
route at first because the plan merely calls for a connec-
ton of numerous roads already existing which means
that the gauge is different. The practical effect Of this
condition will, OF course. be a frequent "change of cars, :"
but engineers who are interested in the project prophesy
that this situation may not last many years as there is
apparent a strong tendency to standardize the gauge on
all the railroads along the eastern coast of south
America. "
So there is ample ground for the president referring,
in another part Of his speech last Monday. to the fac,
that an informal League Of Nations already is in exis-
tence in the New World. All present indications arc
that the mutual feeling of solidarity will grow with the
years to come.

"RUlNED BY BRITISH SHELLFIRE"

1t is characteristic of the German inca pacity to tell
the truth that although the German correspondents at
Versailles are trying to prepare the home folks for the
worst by pointing out just why the Allies ask for repara-
ton, they do it with a peculiar double-dealing in dwelling
on the horrors of the devastated regions of France and
Belgium. For just as Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau
will not admit Germany's responsibility for bringing on
the war, so the correspondents refer to the ruins in north
ern France as due to British shellfire." This is return
ing to the old Duplicates with a vengeance, for in the car.
" days of the war "simplicissimus," the comic weekly
OF Munich, printed a double-page picture showing Bel
gian refugees sinking YEARLY by the roadside, the picture
being labeled Belgian peasants fleeing before the Eng
lish army Of occupation
OF course. the Allies do not deny that French and
British shellfire directed at German positions added to
the devastation Of the occupied regions Of France and
Belgium; but it - only the mind Of a child Of eleven that
would fail to grasp the fact that the British and French
we're firing because the German armies were where they
didn't belong. Moreover. the hideous aspect Of the Ger
man destruction and deliberate devastation is not that
revealed in the regions subject to the shellfire of both
armies. but that which took place in the French towns
and regions which Germany held until the end 81 The
war and where she wreaked such cruel vengeance on
places and people in carrying out the frishtfulness poll
cy as to suggest that not human beings but inhuman
monsters took part in the proceedings. !.

PLucK-NOT LUCK.

To Albert Gushing Read belongs the .nonor o ( @HW
led the first air exposition from America ito Europe and
his qualification must be douhly strong in view OF the
fact that his plane, the NC-4. was badly handicapped
from the very first, was forced to interrupt its voyage
between Rockaway Beach and New Foundland, and COM
pened to rest inactive during repairs while other ma
chimes were apparently perfectly trimmed for the epochal
trip.
The element of luck seems to have played an incon-
spicuous part in Commander Reads and his mems
achievement. The result was a product of naathenaao-
cal calculations. of scientific observations, of prudence
and methodical foresight, and, above all, OF personal
courage and confidence. All humanity possible precau-
lions had been taken in advance and while this cIrcum-
stance to some people might make the transatlantic
flight less startling and sensational, there is no doubt
that the time and the thought spent in perfecting careful
preparations were. worth the best efforts of both the gov
eminent and the men to whom the difficult mission was
entrusted.
1t would, no doubt. have been much more tempting
to attempt a straight nonstop flight from one continent
to the other; the lure Of such a possibility can we'll be
imagined. But whatever it may have amounted to IN
the considerations preceding the actual preparations ior
a trans-oceanic flight, it was completely disregarded.
Commander Read and his companions went about
their work as mechanically and systematically as we're
it a job of everyday occurrence. They received orders
to take the Nc-4 to the Azores, to Lisbon, and to Plym-
outh. and as good naval officers they obeyed. They
were not competing for any prizes-their sole remunera-
ton is the salary allotted them under the regular sched~
ule of the navy, SO they set out merely to do their duty,
that is, to show the world the feasibility of flying across
the ocean. AS yet, air-and seaplanes are of such frail
construction that they must be largely depending upon
the state of the weather, the currents Of the wind, etc.
but there is no doubt that this successful pioneer attempt
which will be remembered among men as long as pluck
and trained intelligence are still cherished, will have the
practical effect that improvements imminent in the con-
struction of planes will eliminate what is yet the pri-
mary weakness of the heavier-than-air machines.
Meanwhile-hats off to Commander Read and those
who went with him! They have won a fight which in
it's consequences may be more far-reaching than any
ever fought upon the seas Of the world.

A BENEVOLENT DESPOT.

A. Z. IOWnley has evidently been maligned. Some
OF his enemies have gone SO far as to hint that he rules
his underlings with a rod of iron and insists that his
judgment shall be the last word on all matters. Now
we find that these allegations are, to some extent at
least, false. The car, while still insisting of course on
his royal prerogative, graciously permits his ministers to
use their judgment on certain minor matters.
No less an one than j. r.. Waters, state bank ex-
aminer, is the latest to come forward with a defense of
his royal master. In his defense Of the car in the con-
troversy with Grant Youmans, Mr.. Waters, in speaking
of his course in regard to Youmans' banks. says, accord
ing to the Townley organ in Fargo:
HE (Townley) has allowed me. If you will
excuse the expression, to use my own judgment
in handling bank affairs in this state"
OF course some conservative citizens may still hold
the view that it is the business of the state bank ex-
an1iner to use his own judgment in such matters without
waiting for permission from MI. Townley to do so. They
may even feel that it is somewhat peculiar, to say the
least, that a private citizen of the state should be in a
position where he can permit or not as he chooses the
use of such judgment by an official in Mr.. Waters. po-
sition. Such benighted souls, however. have not yet
been enlightened by The New Day in North Dakota"
Or course it can not be expected that Mr.. Townley
would permit Mr.. Waters to continue to use his own
Judgment should it chance to run counter to Mr.. Town
leys interest. That would be to strain the quality Of
mercy TO a breaking point. Fortunately, however, there
is little danger Of this happening, SO the bankers and
d@positors of North Dakota may rest easy in the knowl-
sige that SO long as Mr.. Waters does Mr.. Townley's will
he will be graciously permitted by Mr.. Townley to use
his own judgment in" managing their affairs.
Let us even hope that a similar benevolent dispensa-
ton will be extended to the new state-owned bank. and
that Mr.. Townley will be pleased to permit the officials
thereof to use their own judgment in handling the en-
tire public funds Of the state, always providing, of
course, that a proper Difference is paid to Mr.. Townley's
desires. and his divine right to enforce these desires on
til public officials.

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

When the L. S. S. Tennessee said to be the largest
warship in the world. was launched almost Simultaneous
~ with the publication of the revised covenant of the
League of Nations. not a few people detected the appar-
emit incongruency thus established; of course. it was
known that the vessel had been planned and started be-
fore the League Of Nations ideas assumed anything like
concrete form. but the connection between the two events
were beforehand.
Secretary Of the Navy Josephus Daniels may have
reflected upon the inconsistency of an American govern
mcnt taking the initiative in creating a international
community one of whose aims is to be gradual dlsarma-
ment, and at the same time maintaining an intensified
warship construction program. We learn through news
dispatches that the secretary, appearing before the naval
committee of the house Of representatives, reminded the
members that some months ago he recommended a new
three-yea program, and that the committee favored the
building of ten additional battleships and ten additional
scout cruisers. But, Mr.. Daniels said. that was all before
the peace conference discussions started in earnest. Since
that time the League Of Nations covenant, largely a
product of American minds, had been formulated and
adopted, and Mr.. Daniels thought it would be wise for
the American people to show its confidence in this doc
ument by mot at this time authorizing the increase in
the new building program"
PROFESSIONALLY, the suggestion is sound. No con-
struction program is SO rigid that it may not be altered
80 as to fit changing and changed conditions. At the
present time there is no prospect whatever that a great
American navy will be called upon again for active serv-
ice, the tendency rather being in the direction of reduc-
ing already existing navy units, not only here but in all
countries who have indicated their willingness to adhere
to the pact of the world League.
Disarmament hopes are nearer their contamination
now than at any other time in history. and in order to
remove them from the sphere of mere theory into the
field Of practical endeavor 1t is but natural that a power
Of first-rate dimensions like the United States takes that
decisive step which among others will indicate to all
other nations that tins government was in profound ear
nest when it proposed a new fundamental law which has
for its primary object the elimination Of future compli
cations containing the element Of new wars.
