CLIPPINGS
Building Farm Values

One of the great, sweeping changes
which are being made IN the farms
OF the United States, as business in
vestments and as homes, Is being
wrought by the money taken from
taxpayers who are not farmers or
farm-owners and spent in building
good roads through rural districts.
That is a fact of such wide and deep
Importance that farmers may well
credit 1T to the right side of the ac-
count they keep, in their thoughts if
not on paper, with the motor cars that
swarm out from the great centers of
population every fine Sunay, and in
less degree all through the week, and
disturb the repose and quiet of the
country, killing chickens, now and
then, and making the highways I'M
safe for livestock of any kind
The automobiles take many petty
thieves out into rural America, to
steal fruit and sometimes vegetables
and damage crops by their incursions
upon private property. The thugs
who rob country banks depend on
motor cars. They are wild parties of
joy-riders at large near every big
city, to mar beautiful nights in Sum
mer, Autumn and Spring. Where
roads are dry and unpaved, swift
automobiles raise clouds of dust to
make neat housekeeping hard for
farmers wives. And so of other I'M
pleasant consequences of the enor-
nous multiplication of motor vehicles.
But think of the other side!
The actual market value built into
the farms of the United States by the
improvement of highways, at the cost
of the national government and the
states, no less than by the localities
most benefited, can be reckoned in
billions of dollars. 1t has added enor-
mOusly to the price of we'll located
farm property. 1t has transformed
uncounted thousands of farms, which
were formerly held at very low figures
into valuable investments. Special
taxes on automobiles have repaid the
farmers of America, many fold, in the
upkeep of the highways they use, for
all of the losses and the harm they
can charge to city-owned motor We
hicles.
And millions of farmers have
automobiles of their own, as they well
deserve. They profit personally by
the enjoyment of the roads built, in
great part, by the money of city tax
payers, while the economic changes
wrought by the improvement of the
highways which automobiles need are
added enormously to the wealth of
rural America.

The Aerial Navy

The real purpose of the aerial bonn
bardment tests was to demonstrate
whether or not naval vessels could be
put out of commission by attack from
flying machines.
The purpose to a quite noticeable
extent has been confused. The Op-
ponents of aerial development laid
down the conditions of attack, and
made those conditions hard-prob-
ably harder than would exist under
actual warfare. They specified, for
example, the particular projectiles
that should be used. In war the best
available bombs would be employed.
Flyers were kept soaring over one
target while examiners with tape lines
and note books made studies of hits.
Land was a hundred miles away and
fuel was fast becoming exhausted. In
battle the bombs would have been
drpoped at once without time allow
ances for. fussy students of ex-
plosives. Further to confuse the is
sue, destroyers were brought into the
game to show what they could do.
Whatever they proved they did not
prove aerial defense or attack i'm
practicable or inadequate.
Yet in spite of these deliberate at
tempts to limit the power and action
and range of the flyers the observers
were impressed. To date only one
target has remained upon the surface
of the water after the dropping of
bombs limited in number by the rules.
Yet inspection of the hits made on
this target indicates that even if a
battleship were not sunk after aerial
assault it would, in all likelihood, be
rendered helpless. 1t is not the pur-
pose of war to destroy an enemy so
much as to make him incapable of
fighting.
Before this country is involved in
another sanguinary struggle the fly
ing machine will most surely be more
efficient, capable of flying greater
distances than it is now, capable of
carrying larger loads, be manned with
pilots more experienced. This has to
be taken into account in naval con-
struction, naval strategy ad partic-
uIarly in naval appropriations.

ForestaIling Danger of a Pacific War

FOrestalling Danger of Pacific War
After thirty years of color blind
ness and after a World War, Wash
ington has at last realized that the
danger point of Americas political
relations with foreign countries lies
in the Pacific, rather than the At
lantic. While both Latin America
and the United States were weak, the
storm lowered in the south. Now that
the strength of the Union and the
anaemia of Europe have dispelled the
clouds, the ever-present cyclone area
over the Pacific is receiving deserved
recognition.
Today the crying need of every in
dustrial nation is markets. The eight
or nine hundred million people round
the Pacifc's rim, the undeveloped
countries washed by its waves, offer
the greatest outlet for commodities
and surplus populations on earth. Is
this great market, are these great I'M
developed resources to be parcelled
out in slices and strips for exclusive
consumption by Japan, England and
France, with Uncle Sam on the out
side looking in, or shall all countries
have an equal chance everywhere in
the territory to capture by strictly
commercial methods that share of the
trade to which their non-political eff
forts entitle them? That is the fund
amental aspect of the Pacific problems
to be discussed in the conference call
ed by President Harding.
For many decades, America has
been the sole champion of the Open
Door in the Orient-by words, not
deeds, America proclaimed a princi-
pie, but allowed constant violations of
it to go unchallenged. Not needing
the Oriental markets and resources
America was not ready to fight for
them. Now Harding is trying the
other tack. He is endeavoring to
demonstrate that modern war costs
the victors far more than the max
imum spoils are worth. On the basis
of this demonstration he is asking the
so-called great powers to quit piling
up more ornaments for improbable
wars, to get together and arrange for
peaceable, free competition in the
Pacific Basin.
More power to his efforts They
may succeed-provided no nation
feels itself strong enough to try to
hog it all.-September Sunset.
