At the Foundation Of Peaee

We quote elsewhere on this page
the proposals which Mr.. Edward A.
Filene, Of Boston, made recently
touching the settlement Of Europe's
problems. His views are based on
a frst-hand study Of the nations.
He speaks with the authority Of an
American business man Of outstand-
ing imagination and ability.
There may be many criticisms OF
his argument in detail. but there
can hardly be disagreement as to
the foundation stone upon which his
argument is built. That guarantees
to France must stand at the very
beginning Of a European reconstrue-
ton is a fact upon which there Is
now widespread agreement These
guarantees may take one form or
another. Mr.. Harding is endeavor-
ing to solve the problem after the
example Of the Pacific four-power
pact. Il is known that he considers
American participation in such a
European pact a possibility II not
a probability. But some other
formula may in the end prevail.
What is important and significant
is that after many months Of debate
and study the ablest practical minds
of America are tending to agree
upon this basic fact. What Clemen-
ceau above all else insisted upon
at Versailles and thought he had
obtained for his country remains the
first essential to the peace Of Eu-
rope.

Oceanic CrIrisinr

Although Captain Slocum sue
eessfully sailed the Spray single
handed upon the Seven Seas for
many years there Is no reason why
his precedent should be followed
by the Duke Of Leinster and Will
liam Washburn Nutting, who are
planning a trans-oceanic race In S.
footers next spring. The duke,
when he first arrived, expressed his
willingness to sail his ketch single
handed. Mr.. Nutting wisely De-
heves in taking a crew.
Both are experienced sportsmen,
but Mr.. Nutting speaks with the
authority Of one who has twice
crossed the ocean In a sailboat.
In 1920 he sailed to Cowes in the
Typhoon and then TO Spain and
back to the United States BY
the Azores. his vessel was a ff.
teen-ton ketch, thirty-six feet on
the water line and forty-hve feet
over all. He had with him three
men, and in the course Of a storm
two fell overheard Though both
were ssved), and he very nearly LOST
his ship.
Captain slocum's experience, Of
course, shows that a long voyage Is
possible single-hsnded. The Spray
was a smaller boat than the
Typhoon. But the old captain took
his own time and had no race on his
hands. Besides. he had been bred
on the sea and was more at home in
the Spray, no matter what the
weather, than anywhere else. Jus,
how he finally met his fate viii

Aerial Committing

The idea Of committing by aero
plane naturally appeals to every one
who has spent dusty hours in crowd
ed trains. II suggests speed, inde-
pendence and adventure, where the
commuter is ordinarily accustomed
10 delays, routine and excessive bore
dom. There is no prospect, however,
that it can be brought within the
domain Of the practical. Aviation
long will be a luxury, and commut-
ing by aeroplane will be possible
only for those who can spend for
travelling fifty times the sum that
the average commuter spends.
The technical difficulties no long
er are insurmountable. Commercial
aviation has been well enough devel-
oped to make possible the building
Of aerial taxis which can be hired
for q price, 10 90 even as lar as
Cuba. The trip always has some
dangers, but these have been reduced
by experience so that the only seri-
GUS problem which remains is the
weather. Most Of the committing 90
far done has been in hydroplanes,
These are seriously hampered by fog
OF a heavy mist, and those companies
which last summer occasionally
made weekend trips 20 Nantucket
and Newport had to cancel sailings
several times on account Of heavy
weather. Within Long Island Sound
and on the Hudson fog is rare dur
ing flying hours, but in the neigh
borhood Of Newport end Nantucket
it often settles down with startling
suddenness.
Not until the fog is mastered and
the rates are reasonable will the
commuters dream Of travelling h
town by air be realized by any but
the adventurous and wealthy few.

sailed away and never was seen

One Of the difficulties In any Ions
cruising Is the strain on the man
At the helm. Even T. sood weather
vigilance il demanded. A course
must be followed. The eye be-
comes a slave 10 tho compass and
to the weather. Even With four
men dividing the day into six-hour
watches tho demands when pro-
longed into weeks become very
exacting. For two men they might
well prove exhausing. For one IN
n race. they would be practically
prohibitive. Besides navigating the
boat there IS cooking 20 be done'
repairs TO be made and, most dif-
ficult Of all, sleep to be had.
Mr.. Nutting, therefore, Is wise
in insisting on a crew. His agree
ment with the duke is Of a broad
nature. He believes that there
should be Tess restriction, less
slide rules and more sailing" In
Yachting contests, and these he pro-
poses 20 introduce into the coming
transatlantic race by getting TO-
rether with the duke and agreeing
with him about construction, rig
eing. etc, and then going ahead
oven each sail 20 the best Of our
ability" he explained, land when
we reach the finish well meet con-
pratulate each other and over n
good pipe and perhaps a glass Of
grog swap yarns Of our experience
Such talk is Of a nature to de-
light all those who take such
cruises only by reading about them
IN the newspapers. But tho
preIous adventures Of Mr.. Nutting
give them a plenty Of salt reality
and a promise Of sport of soundings
where sailing is at Its rishest and
hest.
