Miss Margaret Buchanan, tn,

South America to spend the winter

ton of her voyage and the following
extracts from her letter show how de-
lightful the trip was.
Saturday of course was quite q
rush to get to the boat" she writes.
Saturday afternoon was miserable,
the weather was too cold to go on
deck and We sat around looking at one
another waiting to get acquainted and
feeling very unsettled.
Sunday was very pretty, but cold.
At night there was a picture show, not
so good, but it helped 10 pass the time,
some of them wanted to dance, but
we went on TO bed. The orchestra
plays three times a day, in the morn
ing, at tea time in the social hall
and in the evening on deck, where we
dance.
Monday, everyone began to thaw,
and smile at each other. We went on
deck after dinner and had no trouble
getting dances, in fact there is only
one other young girl on board, and
she is on her way TO Santos to be
married.
There Is a bridal couple on board.

WIN Putter Along?

TT is declared to be the concensus of
i opinion of those familiar with army
and navy conditions that, if President
Coolidge cannot get the great foreign
nations into conference for limitation of
air forces. there will be an irresistible
demand for the creation of an American
air force second to none.
Then why temporiZe or postpone? Why
not look the truth squarely in the face?
The most ardent advocates of the bat
tleship admit, and it was demonstrated
beyond cavil in the world war. that the
airplane is at least highly important and
absolutely necessary arm. No doubt rs
TO the truth of this, is there?
II is an indisputable fact that France.
Great Britain and Japan have air forces
greatly superior to Americas. They have
spent hundreds of millions on aircraft and
their legislative bodies are proposing the
expenditure of millions and millions more.
No secret about this.
How preposterously wild the PROPOSE
ton that all of these nations will consent
to scrap their airplanes to the American
level
There is a world of difference between
scrapping battleships and scrapping air
planes. A battleship is war machine and
nothing else. An airplane is commercial
machine, but convertible. in few days,
into war machine. To limit the produc-
tion of aircraft is on par with limiting
railroads, telephones, radio and telegraph
poles, which mean commercial progress
and efficiency, primarily, but which will
certainly have their part in the next war.
Are not all the statements the truth
If so, why temporize; why put off? Mr..
Coolidge can do no more popular thing
than to demand appropriations for the
equipment of our nation with an adequate
supply of the machines that mean prog
ress in peace and protection in war. II
would indicate sense, good government
and, finally, economy, Mr. President.
