Only One Pilot for the National Aircraft

The position of President Harding
in the matter is that amaIgamation
will work to efficiency and economy
One great difficulty pertaining to the
present separate aircraft services that
has Impressed him is that there is no
systematic method of awarding con-
tracts for the construction of aircraft
One branch awards contracts without
regard to any other government air
craft organization, and the President
believes that this is detrimental to the
upbuilding Of private aircraft manu-
facture in the United States.
The aircraft manufacturers are de-
pendent almost entirely on govern
ment patronage, as commercial de-
mands are small, and IT is claimed
that unless the government so ar
ranges its contracts as to distribute
contracts among all those concerns
which produce aircraft meeting gov
eminent standards, some of them may
be obliged to go out of business.
In these circumstances President
Harding is understood to feel that
central government aircraft organiza-
ton will be better able to determine
how contracts should be awarded for
the entire government.
Inference is drawn from what
is learned of the Presidents position
that he is in favor of the amalgama-
ton Of the War and the Navy depart
ments into a department of national
defense.

VIZ ASHINGTON.- President Hard
w ing favors the proposal to place
all the aircraft services Of the govern
ment, military and civil, under one
central authority. There has been an
impression that the President was OPP
posed to this plan and that impress
sion was emphasized when Major
General Menoher, chief of the air serv-
Ice of the army, asked the secretary
or war to remove the assistant chief,
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, who was
persistent advocate of amalgamation
OF the army and navy air services.
1t is learned, however, that the
President is heartily N favor of the
proposed amalgamation and that the
joint reorganization commission, which
is engaged In preparing plans for a
reorganization of administration of the
executive branch of the government,
is inclined TO recommend the unifica-
ton of all the governments aircraft
activities.

Is This an Embarrassment of Riches?

This record smashing in the accu-
mutation of gold is an expensive lux
ury for us Americans, according to
the economists who tell us that the
inflow of the gold to the United States
beginning early in the World war was
an important factor in cheapening the
dollar and increasing prices.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale univer-
.sity looks for rise In wholesale prices
and reviving business next fall.
The Stable Money league is study
ing the phenomena of price move
ments with view to recommending
legislation to counterfeit such fiuctua-
lions in the purchasing power of the
dollar as have upset industry, COM
merce, and household economy in the
last few years.
Professor Fisher proposes to stabiI-
ize the dollar by increasing its gold
content when there is a tendency OF
gold to depreciate and decreasing its
gold content when the tendency of
gold is to appreciate.

HINDU IDEA OF "sEvEN SEAS"
Writer in Boston Herald Shows That
Expression Is Older Than the
English Language.

The question as to the origin and
meaning of the term 1.-The Seven Seas"
having been raised In this column, I
am surprised, says a writer In the
Boston Herald, that as yet no one has
called attention to the fact that the
expression is far older than the Eng
lish language, antedating even the
science of geography as we under
stand it. In prehistoric Hindu thought
our world consists as to its solid parts
Of seven concentric, continental Dvi-
pas, whose names are Jambu, Plaksha,
Salmali, Kusa, Krauncha, Saka and
Pushkara. According, to the sacred
Vishnu Purana: "They are surrounded
severally by seven great seas-the sea
Of salt water Uavana), of sugar-cane
juice (Ikshu), of wine (Sura), of clari-
fed butter (Sarpis), or curds Dadhi),
of milk Dugdha). and Of fresh water
(Jala). Jambu-dvipa is the center Of
all these, and in the copies Of this is
the golden mountain Meru." Jambu
is the dvipa occupied by human be-
ings. Meru the indescribably glorious
north polar mountain by which the
portal to the heaven or heavens is at
tainable.
In oriental literature, therefore, the
expression "the seven seas" has no ref
erence to the bodies of water named
seas by our geographers, but Is an In
teresting survival Of the geocentric
world view which we Of the western
nations have lost, but which all ortho-
dox Brahmins and Buddhists still hold
sacred and true Its recent appear
ance in occidental literature Is doubt
less more due to Kipling than to any
other writer.

ers, evidently, are of the belief that
they can hire INSCRIPTIONS account
ants who reconstruct their books. and
then if the fraud is discovered blame
it all on the accountants. to whom
they usually pay large fees"
In many instances field examiners
have discovered that taxpayers keep
two sets of books, one set accurately
setting forth the status of the bust
ness and the other set fraudulently
setting forth their income, and merely
kept for the purpose of defrauding
the government.
