the aviation field to greet the plane
These men explain that the hope OF
securing an air line depot for Doug
las should stand above all other is
sues at this time. They recall that
the city of Douglas is on trans
continental highway only because this
city worked steadily to secure routing
on such highway and they point
out that the aviation situation is
exactly the same.
The boosters urge that everyone
must work together now to secure
regular port here for planes, at once,
as the transcontinentaI passenger,
freight and mail services are now
being planned and their depots es-
tablished and if another route is once
opened through the southwest it will
be much more difficult, to secure a
depot here than it will be now before
the regular service has started.

Ramsay Macdonald has shown the
way 70 a right solution of placing the
relations or China and the other pow
ers on a. firm and friendly basis when
he said recently before a British Labor
party meeting:
we must also turn to our own
government and say face the facts,
treat China as you do Japan. get out
Of your ENHANCEMENT OF imposed
treaties. Your Christmas memoran-
dum was good. Your foreign declara-
tion on the 22d of January was eX-
cellent. We admit you have the
problem of the protection of life still
on your hands. Wherever you decided
to send that much-advertised defense
force you began to play with fire.
That is the position the Labor
party occupies today. and it is only
on these lines and with those consid-
erations that we can hope to solve
the Chinese problem, and when the
end has come. to be in a position of
friendship with China so that China
can help us with our trade affairs.
and we can help China with its politi-
cal and moral affairs.

China will not be satisfied with mere

proved concluSiVely that SO long as
these limitations remain, the problem
of domestic reconstruction will be
very difficult.

In the crown colony. though governed
