TIME arc that Lindbergh blazed
across the skies in his epochal
flight to France has shed
radiant light on aviation.
One cool-headed young Ameri-
can. in his 33-hour passage of the
Atlantic, accomplished more to hasten
mans conquest of the air than the
most cieverly directed propaganda
could have hoped to attain in years.
When he took off from Mitchell
Field, Lindbergh may have set out
for Paris with the hope Of assisting
the science of aviation by adding to
the limited knowledge of aeronautics.
Instead. he wrote a saga of the air,
a song that set the world to singing,
a story that has been told and re-
told wherever the written word is
read He fired the imagination of the
common people, and set them to
The mundane airplane,
droning it's way thousands of feet
above the ground, hitherto a subject
for long-winded, technical and dry de-
bate. found it's wings rose-tinted over
night in the glory of new romance.
Lindbergh did what others failed to
do. The Americans who circled the
globe in their round-the-world flight;
Byrd in his dash across the Pole;
Rogers in his Inflated attempt to
reach Hawaii, and the recent good
will flight around South America
all these We're chapters, dull at times,
written in the history of mans battle
with the air. But Lindbergh's flight
to Paris was like a popular song that
finds itself on every tongue. 1t was
an inspired poem that reached the
hearts of millions.
Lindbergh an Outstanding Figure.
Lindbergh's star has not set. Famed
by a popular acclaim unique in the
history of the world, it still burns
bright Soon it may sink to a normal
horizon. But when it does. it will
leave an afterglow to shine for many
years to come. THE deed is every
thing; the fame is nothing" And
when Lindbergh himself has been for
gotten, his deed will have been the
of new day in the his
tory of aviation.
While thousands are still roaring
themselves hoarse over Lindbergh,
other developments are of deeper sig
nificance. Washington and Baltimore
are warmed up in n fight to be sc.
lected as stopping place on new
air mail route. Washington has never
paid much attention to the matter of
securing an airport before. But now
the question becomes of burning in
tereSt. SO it is with Baltimore. The city
council there meets frantically and ap.
propriates a large sum Immediately
for the acquisition of suitable land for
an airport. The National Capital seeks
a temporary inducement to the air
mail until Congress can be persuaded
to give its sanction and financial as
sistance to something permanent.

example of Lindbergh before them,

That commercial aviation will profit
from the Lindbergh and Chamberlin
flights is a foregone conclusion. Lind
bergh in a sense. has shown the pub
lie how to fly. He had the faith in
the present-day development OF air
equipment to envision a day when the
longest distances would be conquered
through the air.
Every one in Washington concerned
with air activities, and the city holds
the best of them, is confident beyond
n reasonable doubt that commercial
flying has received it's 81 test boost
of the century through Lindbergh's s
flight.

transatlantic flights with regularity
may not come for one year or maybe

Should a nonstop transcontinental
air line become established in this
country and specialize in carrying pas
sengers from New York to San Fran
cisco without stop, and should it's
planes depart from New York with
only a general weather report on the
entire 5000 miles ahead, there would
be little difference between flying the
continent in this manner and flying
the Atlantic.
But the transeontinental air line
would be in a position to receive
weather reports at regular and fire.

Both Great Britain and Japan,
through their governments, have ex-
pressed great sympathy with the
proposal OF President Coolidge for an
agreement supplementary to the
Washington treaty. But from other
sources has developed an effort to
prove to the American people that the
United States does not need cruisers
and other auxiliary craft to the same
extent as Great Britain and Japan,
island empires.
United States Concession Unlikely.
1t seems scarcely likely, however,
that Americans will concede this to
be the case. The United States has
huge world commerce. Americans
have billions Of dollars invested
abroad. The United States has a
coast line Of tremendous extent on
both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
American cruisers are potent in the
defense Of all three. American money
invested in foreign securities at the
end Of the first quarter OF 1927
totaled $l1 900, 100000, and American
investments abroad are increasing
rather than diminishing.
AT the Washington conference the
United States made great concessions
regarding naval bases In the Pacific.
1t agreed to the status quo in the
Philippines and Guam and other
islands. including Cavite and Olon-
gapo, retaining only the right to
strengthen. IL 1t saw fit. the defenses
and the naval base in the Hawaiian
Islands and the coast of the United
States. 1t is entirely possible that
the question OF naval bases will come
ups again at the Geneva conference
1t has been suggested that Japan
might seek to limit further, develop
ment Of naval and military strength
in Hawaii, and even the neutraliza-
ton Of the Panama Canal If she is
to gree to the $50 ratio for aux.
iiiary naval craft.
1t is estimated by naval authorities
that one strong naval base is worth
six capital ships. In other words,
IT would take six major capital ships
to protect submarines, destroyers,
| etc. to the extent they would be
protected by n naval base. Great
Britain has naval bases all over the
| world, bases that command every
| trade route.
Canal Naturalization.
The naturalization Of the Panama
Canal might effectually divide Ameri-
| cas- seapower in the event of war. 1t
Is unthinkable that this country
would go TO the expense of building a
fleet so large in each ocean that 1t
could cope with all situations in both
Atlantic and Pacific. The United
States would not give up the right to
operate freely through the canal In
| time Of war.
Reverting for moment to the pro-
| posal of Admiral Jellico Of the British
Navy that cruisers be limited to 5000
tons, it Is quite clear that with her
many naval bases Great Britain could
operate these smaller vessels much
more effectually than could the United
States, which because of lack of bases
requires greater radius for its cruis.

seems likely that there has been
certain amount of British secret serv-
ice activity to counter or unearth
antiBritish intrigue, but it Is strange
that the Russians should not see that
the charges of British subversive and
criminal intrigue would be regard
ed by the entire non-Russian world
as peculiarly unhappy products of the
Russian art of mendacity. Oh, not
entirely mendacity. to be sure, partly
to be explained by self-deceptiye
hysteria, to which the Russians are
even more prone than are Western
nations (Which Is saying much). It is
thought that Stain himself does not
approve such proceedings, but that
he has been constrained to yield to
the extremists, maddened by defeat
of their hopes as regards both the
West and China.

has argued, would not only serve as

Outlay of Millions Foreseen.
Such a proposition. now appears
gigantic. 1t means the outlay of per-
haps millions of dollars before q trans
oceanic air liner can depart on it's
maiden voyage, with all necessary
precautions. But the way has been
paved, and as the world calls for speed,
and more speed, in getting from one
place to another, and is willing to
pay for 1t, another few years should
see something tangible in this respect.
Commercial aviation. however, has
received an impetus that also applies
to military aviation. With no 'war
scares" in mind, military airmen here
see in Lindbergh's flight the end to
those prolific statements on Capitol
Hill that no airplane can ever fly
across the Atlantic and drop bombs on
these snores.
They do not mean that because
Lindbergh had enough gasoline left
to carry him perhaps 500 miles far
ther, he could have made his trans
nj frrfot ~
bomb strapped under his fuselage.
But when airplanes that can fly the
distance between Europe and America
and have 300 gallons of gasoline left
In the fuel tanks are now being built,
the fact remains for all time that this
very plane may leave the 300 gallons
behind and take along an 1,S00-pound
aerial bomb instead.
The damage one 1,800.pound aerial
bomb may do If it lands in the right
place, would justify the trip. Multiply
this damage by that to be done by
100 planes.

But when planes from England, Ger.
many, Italy and France begin to glide

Lindbergh could have flown the dis
tance between Newfoundland and Ire

He used little more than 400 gal.

make them in all about 100 apple
trees. The varieties are for the most
part Rome Beauty, Stark's Deli

on putting out trees every spring
until they have at least 100 acres in
orchard. They have also leased the
