Thousand Cities Want Airports

Over 1000 cities in the United States are organizing
airport committee and studying sites, while another
thousand is engaged in actually developing airport
facilities. was the report Of Harry II. Blee. chief OF
the commerce departments airport section at a recent
meeting Of aviEtoin experts in New York.
The fact was stressed that those cities first in the
field would receive the greatest benefits that in the
establishment Of airlines these would be designated as
the major points. The prediction was also made that
within five years there would be no city in the United
States of $1,000 population or more that did not pos
sess an airport.
Reports Of the department ~ commerce airport see
tion indicate that the wave Of sentiment for aviation
development has spread over the United States with
amazing r%apidity. Airplane manufacturers report they
are months behind on orders Notwithstanding they
have fooled up" for double production this year. The
attention Of science has been focused upon the prob
lens of air transport TO n greater degree than ever be-
fore, with the result that the scientific problems are
rapidly eliminated. In fact. in every branch. aviation
has made more progress in the last twelve months than
in the preceding five years.
One Of the most encouraging and significant Tea.
lures in connection with this development is the wide
spread demand for air service between the United
States and the Latin American countries. This dcmanl
Is especially i%nsistent in the industrial centers which
arc looking to Latin America for the big markets If
the future and realize the necessity FOR early establish
ment Of air communication with the southern republics.
The industrial interests Of the East and South are
practically unanimous in hailinE aviation As the future
basis for extension Of international markets, the real
basis Of national prosperity.

Pan2ered Criminals

Prevalence Of crime in the United States is the d.
rect result Of rampering criminals. is the opinion Of
Judge a. J. Johnson II West Virginia, who in a recent
address scored the so-called sentimentalists who would
have the courts compromise with crime by offering
hardened criminals suspended sentences or BY reduc-
ing sentences to the minimum.
The judge pointed out that one OF the most serious
factors in our crime situation is that Of the relentless.
repeating criminal. The newspapers are filled with
aaccounts Of assaults. robberies and murders by thugs
who have long criminal records but who have been
turned loose time and again to he given another
chance Usually they use the new chance" to fur
Their their criminal careers.
1t is reasonable to believe that a man. convicted
once Of a crime. may, when released or pardoned, sin
cerely reform. II IS entirely unreasonable. however,
to believe that a hardened wrong-doer whose whole
life has been a testimonial to the strength Of his Grim
inal instincts, will be willing to change his ways.
In New York, under the Baumes laws, which give life
imprisonment automatically on the fourth conviction
for a felony. crime Is decreasing. Other localities.
where similar laws are in effect, find the result the
same.
No nation or people can compromise with crime. II
Is an unfortunate fact that all reform movements,
based on purely moral grounds. have failed because Of
the criminals own immortality. Sensible, undertaking
laws, that have no part with misguided sentiment, will
deter more criminals in a moment than all the senti-
mental suspended sentence laws could do in a year.
The United States has failed to prevent crime be-
cause it has pampered the criminal and compromised
with crime; because a misguided sentiment has out
weighed the rightful demands Of justice. There can
be no hope Of success in the future unless the people
themselves change their course Of action and insist that
the courts put the repeating" criminals where he can
do no further harm.

called it ~Glory" of "Whoopee" or "Jiminy" or some
such selling name. he might have gathered in enough
circulation to entiee the tooth paste ads his way, and
grown rich. But he calls il "All's Well and ne gets
il printed as well as possible. considering the fac'li-
ties at hand. It's just plain good. and not a bit fancy,
and, while I've never met Finger. | suspect he's much
the anne.
Wilson Is = disciple Of Finger. He is also a writer
of rather remarkable ability, considering his age and
experience. and some day some publisher is going 70
find him and make him notable. He had an article on
Finger recently in The Nation. which. in my opinion,
was a very excellent piece Of writing about an unusual
~ interesting personality.
Wilson drove ~ from Arkansas in an old car. IL
says he doesn't think he'll ever come to live In the
city. The pace is too swift, he thinks. He likes TO
write and work in the leisurely atmosphere Of the Ar
kansas hills, where there is time and mood for reflec-
tion and meditation. He finds New York very friendly.
but altogether too fast.
After Wilson and | had been talking about these
things. and had agreed that the tempo is much more
agreeable in the south and west, We started to leave
the Times building. where my workroom is, and my
friend from Arkansas came near to destruction in a
revolving door. He was going to get through the door
all right, but he had no notion there was any rush
about it. and some persons who were rushing for the
subway slammed him halfway into the door and
whirlcd it so fast that Wilson got caught. and | was
really afraid he had suffered serious injury.
Eyes he sadi. Il don't seem to step quite as fast
as yOu-all here in the city"
I would hate 70 sec Wilson become citified in the
New York manner. The world so sorely needs good
takers who are in no hurry, and good writers who have
time to think. Too much OF our writing now come out
Of New York. That is one reason why the choppy,
formless style Of writing has become 50 characteristics
ally American. Photographers are legion in New YORK,
because a paragraph can be written quickly, and with
out consecutive thought. We need more Fingers and
Wilson's, and we need to keep them out west.
