Lindbergh's Achievement.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

Coloncl Lindhergh has accomplished posslbiy ever greater feat than his dramatic hlght across the Atlantic This week he concluded ms tour of As States under the auspices or the Daii- ,el cupgenheim Fund for the Promotion or Aeronautics
 This tour was undertaken to encourage popu- lar interest in aeronautics, particularly m the air mail service.
 Tine odyssey discoses some remarkable ana gratifying facts. Studying them, one vastly IS encouraged in his faith for the future of prac- tcal flying.
 During the three months since Colonel Lind bergh left New York City. he covered 22,5bo ar line miles with flying time of 26o hours, visit- ing s2 cities in 13 of which he made only touch stops"
 On the trip Colonel Lindbergh was accompah- ed bv a Department of Commerce plane. carrying fund Each of the planes performed perfectly. There were no overhaus no forced landings no delays because of mechanical difficulties Nearly ten times the distance across the At Iantic was covered without flaw in mechanism or inefficiency of control. This remarkable continental traverse seems reasonably to prove that, with proper equipment and the exercise of ordinary care by skilled plots flying by plane should be as safe as traVei Ill all automobile or by railway train. It suggests aiso that the lamentable tragedies or the past le" months in connection with transoceanc hlghts perhaps need not have happened, had proper preparation been made.
 Accidents in the United States mail service are few and far between. There is no stunt fiylns done in the service, the planes used are or the hest and the who pilot them are rieu veterans of the air

If all the Canadians in the United States and all the Americans in Canada and all their relatives could be heard from 1t would be found that their numbers are millions Nothing ought to be done to discourage the tendency of these two countries to come together in the. closest of social, industrial and economical relations.

IS EDISON GETTING OLD?

The other day we read that a writer had just put a book through the press which pre- dicted that England and the United States would soon have a great war-one in which Japan would aid England and Canada would rema ] neutral All of which was all right for the author probably needed the money. Most of tsa writers of that sort of stuff usually are in need of cash But now dispatches saying that Thomas A Edison predicts that Fate has war in store for us-that there will be mon Of European countries to fight the unitad States. That is different because Edison has usually been one of the sanest and most conservative of men.
 Is it possible that Edison, after plugg ns along for four score years without accommodating age. is getting old? We submit that there E no other apparent than second childhood for his sensational predictions. He does not nesd the money nor the advertising, and there IS CT tainly nothing in the relations between this eoun- fry and any other that indicates the remotest probability of war.

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION.


 During the year ended June 30 about 54o,- 900 immigrants arrived in the United States and about 250.000 left the country, showing a net gain of 290 00O Of these immigrants about 21 900 came from Canada and about 20,000 of those leaving the country went to Canada. This shows that the American gain in popua- tion from Canada was larger than our gain from any other country. Mexico contributed about 10000 immigrants, making her the second largest population donor,
 These figures have led to agitation in favor of applying the immigration quota to Canada and Mexico The desire in certain sections of the country for the restriction of Mexican immigra- tion is probably, in part. responsible for the movement to include Canada among the quota countries because it would offend Mexico if we failed to make the restriction general
 Let us hope that the United States will not attempt to put any bars on Canadian or Mexi- ran imnligratfon It would be particularly short-sirhted and harmful to restrict Canadians from coming to this country Movement back snd forth between Canada and the States ought 1n he F free as 1t is between separate States

 the subject of prohibition, while the re-
