The World and All
IN THE AIR

IN THE AIR
There have been some bad airplans crashes lately.
A crash is always news, not only because the attendant
deaths are important, but also because ~airplane crashes
are still invested with the element Of novelty, and
therefore are essentially news material. The news
papers do well in printing news items about every air
plane smash-up in which lives are lost. But l hope
readers do not conclude from these accounts that the
person who takes to the air in a glane is as good as
dead when the plane leaves the ground.
Great Britain is establishing air lines TO all parts
Of the empire. Next year a regular passenger-and-mai
line will be running from London y Delhi, India. A
Cape-to-cairo air line will be started, tco.. A modern
airport is being constructed near Alexandria, Egypt,
for the London-Egypt service.
British planes carried more than three thousand
passengers across the channel to France In one month,
and the cross-channel service is proving very profit
able from a commercial standpoint.
The British Empire has been facing a ticklish prob
lem for a number of years. Especially since the war,
the far-flung dominions and colonies that make posi-
bic the wealthy civilization Of England have been
feeling their individuality and power, and have discov-
cred that they do not need 70 lean upon the mother
country, but rather that the mother country Is all the
while leaning upon them.
So, one incident has succeeded another. and the
wise government in London has acknowledged the vir-
tual separate nationality Of the dominions and other
important units in the empire. Some important Eng
lishnen have spoken Of the breakup Of the empire ~
an accomplished fact, and others have viewed it ss
an approaching event.
Contact between London and the dominion capitals
by airplane routes and regular service will tend to pre-
serve the empire. That's plain as the sun At noon on
q cloudless day. Hence the f~arsighted wisdom OF the
London air policy. >
As for the United States. sthere is a lesson to BE-
learned. Closer contact between American cities and
South American cities might tend to undo any damage
that our diplomats may u~nhappiiy accomplish from
time 10 time. We ought 10 have regular mail and pas
senger sir service between mainland United States and
Hawaii Porto Rico. Alaska, Panama. Mexico City. and
several South American capitals and ports.
