Nav Send Rockets
500 Miles Higher

AS a result Of studies made during
the world war with rockets, govern
ment experts consider it entirely
feasible to project properly devised
rockets 500 miles or more above the
earth. Because. they hope in this
way to get very positive knowledge
Of the temperature. pressure. density
and composition Of the air at such
very high attitudes Of scientific value

Of any fancy possibility of commune

the patches Of good roads connected.
No one went anywhere over a sys-
TEN of roads. No team could travel
more than fifty miles a day, and that
only for a day at a time. But with
the change in conditions the linking
of the roads became imperative.
Now,
Trying Great Experiment.
"The American people are trying
a great experiment." says Macdonald.
TT is the greatest theory Of trans
portation ever offered. No other peo-
pie could ever have tried it at any
other time in the worlds history, be-
cause the conditions were not pres
ent. This is it:
THE people have provided them
selves with 100000 pieces Of roll
ing stock and have asked the gov
eminent to supply the roadbed. Think
of our good roads not as separated
pieces Of good road. but as a system
Of good roads on which yon can go
anywhere with certainty. 1t is like
a railroad system. except that each
runs his own train of cars inde--
pendently of every other train OF
cars. The one thing in common is
the right of way"
The idea was only an ideal until
the war came. In 1915 it became
evident that when the American peo-
Pile really wanted to hustle goods to
the seaports the railroads were not
sufficient to handle the business. The
truck era began to dawn.> Our nice

In calling upon the President on
official business one was always sure
of a quiet, thoughtful hearing. His
grasp vas quick, his questions direct
and his spirit Kindly. Such meetings
were not formal but friendly. Some
times we met in the executive office,
sometimes in one Of the White House
parlors, occasionally in the upstairs
study. On one such occasion we were
sitting in the executive Office, whose
southern side has several large win
dows looking out on the White
House grounds. Twenty minutes had
been reserved for me, but our bust

and we continued In friendly talk for
a little while. I do not recall the

BY HENRY W. BUM.

(The following is a brief summary
Of the most important news of the
world for the seven days ended Feb
ruary 16):
Great Britain.-On February IL Mr.
Macdonald submitted his policies to
the commons. He cleverly avoided
being too specific. In the field of legis-
lation looking to social amelioration
he would, he declared, borrow the
titles for his bills from the con-
sentative program outlined in sthe
kings speech from the throne. but
his government would attack the
great domestic problems. especially
those Of housing and unemployment,
with an energy and resolution which
would be a startling phenomenon in
British politics.
IT wish to make it clear" he said
that the government has no inten-
ton of drawing off from the normal
channels of trade large sums for ex-
temporized measures which can only
be palliative. The necessity of ex-
penditure for substituting schemes for
indirect relief of unemployment will
be judged in relation to the neces-
stty of maintaining undisturbed the
ordinary financial facilities and re-
sources Of trade and industry" (Con-
sentative cheers.) But, he added,
ANY scheme dealing with unempioy-
ment must give adequate MAIN
tenance to the unemployed pending
the revival of trade" a remark which
might be so construed as to cause
perturbation in the tory breast. For
the stimulation Of agriculture tcon-
corning which interest he does not
share the conservative pessimism) he
proposed chiefly government support
Of cooperative enterprises.
The British farming community would
Of Denmark for model. He allayed
apprehensions by announcing that the
resolutions passed at the imperial con-
ference of premiers and the imperial
economic conference mt, sn would be referred
of which he would be governed. Mr..
Macdonald could not safely have handled
this delicate question In any other way.
The most important OF those resolutions
declared for q considerable extension of
the operation Of the principle Of impe-
rial preference. The dominions are hot
for such extension. For the present
British government or for parliament
to repudiate those resolutions Tin which
the representatives Of the conservative
government then in power heartily con-
curred) would be a highly dubious pro-
ceeding.
While stating that his foreign policy
would have as its aim agreements to
limit ornaments, Mr.. Macdonald de-
clared with emphasis that pending such
agreements he would not neglect de-
fense." That assurance, however,
leaves us to seek as to his attitude to-
ward two projects, dearly cherished by
the late government, the project of a
great naval base at Singapore and the
project to increase the strength Of the
aerial arm to an equality with that of
France.
It is said that Mr.. Macdonalds health
is already giving way under the double
burden Of the premiership and the for
eign Office, burden which Gladstone, a
"whale" for work, declared to be be-
yond the powers Of any man.
Mr.. Stanley Baldwin has been re-
elected leader of the conservative party.

The party has-voted to shelve protec-
ton for the present. but strongly to
back imperial preference and extension
of the scope Of the safeguarding OF in
dustries act.
The percentage of unemployed
among registered trade union MEM
bers in Great Britain was on January
/, 1923. 1871; on December 81. 1t was
81. The decrease has Steadily con-
tinued despite the unfriendly season.
A strike of all the lockers and steve
dores throughout the United King
dom began at noon of the 10th. The
strikers demand an increase in pay or
two shillings per day. This class OF
labor peculiarly suffers from the
curse of casualness, and that is the
chief ground of the demand. 1t does
not follow. of course. that the en-
ployers can, afford the increase de-
manded, but it does naturally follow
that there is pretty general SYM
lister of labor raised heaven and
earth to avert the strike, and the
government is submitting to parlia-
ment a-bill proposing a solution of
the peculiarly delicate problem.
