weapons which the airplane may use
bombs, torpedoes, mines and poison
gas-that choosing its time for attack
by day or by night it can subject a
fleet to conditions under which ships
cannot exist.
"The same conservatism fails to see
that airplane is a super-gun. the most

How Great Britain May Pay Her Debt

The proposal that Great Britain cede to us
the West Indies and other possessions as pay
ment of debt of Sd 1886, OOO, 900, which she owes
us, is receiving serious consideration in quarters
where the financial aspects of the case have been
given serious thought
A reputation of her obligations to us is be-
leved to be impossible because of the economic
bareback that would result. Financiers and
economists, however, are wondering where Eng
land will get the money to meet the obligation.
Her supply Of gold is too low to cover the in
debtedness, and further accumulations of this
metal in this country, it is feared, would not help
us. Vast mportations of goods from Great Brit
ain also are not wanted, for they will glut our
markets and slow up our own factories.
To obviate these difficulties it is suggested
that Great Britain cede to the United States the
West Indies, British Honduras and British
Guiana, none of which is regarded as of great
commercial and strategic interest to her.
The acquisition of these possessions by the
United States would not enhance our commercial
relations very much, but they would prove of
great strategic Importance in the defense of the
Panama canal and of the seaboard generally.
Commenting on this proposal, which has been
made by number of prominent Americans, in
Guiding Albert j. Beveridge the Chicago Tribune
says:
Great Britain can neither efford to pay us
now, nor can she afford to refuse to pay us. If
Great Britain could pay us promptly in gold or
goods we could not afford to take the payment.
But the cession of the West Indies and of British
Honduras would be small sacrifice to Great
Britain and real benefit to us, while the conse-
quent reduction of the British debt to us would
be of great benefit to Great Britain and no great
actual sacrifice to us.
ut would seem that the common sense of this
proposal should appeal to both the British and
American peoples. 1t offers way out of very
serious difficulty; way out of a difficulty not
unlikely to create or intensity ill feeling where
there should be good feeling; way toward bet
ter relations and securer amity in the future.
ct is highly expedient if not essential to the
United States that we should command the ap-
breaches to the canal. The West Indies dominate
or threaten those approaches and the command
of the Caribbean. We would be justified, there
FORE in paying a price for their special cession
based on their special value to us, price higher
than their economic strategic value to Great
Britain would fix. The bargain, therefore, would
be fair and profitable to both countries and we
believe would have beneficial effects of consider
able weight in Anglo-American relations

POOR HUMANITY
BY WALT MASON

Sometimes I think the human race
has very little fun; less pleasure than
brutes that chase and gambol in the
sun. I'd like to be bob-o-link and
circle in the air: for little birds like
this, think. \ know naught Of human
care. They bear no burden on their
backs, no weary load that kills; they
do not pay an income tax, or face big
monthly bills. I'd like to be kanga-
roo upon a desert plain. and would
hop a mile or two. and then hop back
again. Sometimes sad thoughts like
these I think, when life has made me
hot: but some one shoots the bob-o-
link, and remain unshot. The lower
animals view. and think them salts
fed; but SOME one Stays the kangaroo

wall, land would swim the stored
Nile and smash things with my tail.
But crocodiles know little mirth, and
much of woe they've known: for every
critter on this earth has troubles of its
own. But cats and wolves and grizzly
bears and cows and birds and snakes
don't publish forth their daily cares,
their little pains and aches. They take
existence as 1t comes, the bitter with
the sweet, and, being short OF mu1led
drums, they look for things to eat.
