exhaustive survey Of all phases Of prohibition in an

The World and All
THIS COUNTRY OF OURS
BY Charles Y. DriscoIl

Some millions Of words are written every dav in
criticism Of the United States Of America, the American
people, American customs and culture, and the ideals
accepted by most Americans.
Most Of these words are written by Americans. For
eigners sometimes write in criticism Of America By
reason Of anger or envy. But they DO not strike home
very often, for the truth is that they are generally full
Of secret admiration for some things American.
Americans are the severest critics Of America. They
say we are foolish, shallow, rattle-brained. superficial,
superciious, purse-prOud, noisy, vulgar, boastful,
money-aad, low, inhumane. unjust, militaristic. vain.
insensitivs, coarse, brutal, revengeful, jazz-crazy, am
steurish and drunken.
There are some other things they say about us. but
perhaps 1t would be just as well to pause here.
This spirit OF self-eriticism is healthful, IL IL do.sn,t
so too far. 1t is we'll that we, as n nation. can see opr
own faults. But we must exercise our well-known sens.
o. humor- We mustn't become too discouraged about
ourselves.
Far be II from me TO deny that Americans have
faults, or that the American nation, rs such, makes ,e-
rious mistakes.
I'll admit much Of all that is charged against u.
But ! must insist upon this reservation: when all
i said and done, the United States OF America Il the
most desirable nation now existing. 1t is the best rlace
to live 1t Is the best nation TO tie to, either fsr ,es
present o. for the practicable future.
The human race isn't perfect. Therefore, Americans
aren't perfect. Americans have conspieuouslv human
weaknesses and faults.
But the future Of thu human race is safer here in
the United States than anywhere else.
This is a country that makes mistakes. but II i .
country that is decidedly worth preserving. | wish We
might live in q world in which there could b. NJ v.r.
making. ] loathe wars.
But if there is going to be another war. I'd rather
see my country win than lose.
In for preparedness in a prepared world. hope
for everlasting peAee-beyond the veil. hope for
plenty Of fighting ships and airplsnes. Zeppslins and
submarines, with Unele Sans stamp upon them, In this
present world, in which the United States remains thu
Weaithiest and the most comfortable Of all nations.
It's 3 good country, and worth saving.

Great progress should be made this year in con-
Meeting the air mail service Of the United States with
foreign countries, particularly the nations Of Central
and South America.
AS the year 1928 was conspicuous, SO far as the
~postoffice department is concerned, in the widespread
development Of the air mail service in the United
States, SO will 1929 stand out, in my opinion, as a year
marked by great strides in connecting our own eff
cient air service with foreign countries, principally n
South and Central America.
Already we have in daily operation a line connecting
New York with our northern ~neighbor, Canada, at Mon
treal, and the prospects are favorable for a material ex.
tension of the Canadian service to a number of impor-
tant cities in that country.
Three foreign routes were scheduled to begin within
the first two weeks of the new year, two of which mark
the beginning Of what will ultimately become q web Of
the air,tying up in a close skein of communication the
two continents Of the western hemisphere.
Emanating from Miami, Fla, where direct connec-
ton is made with the domestic air mail system, the
three routes 90, one to Nassau, in the Bahamas, one to
Porto Rico, and the third to Panama Canal Zone.
or perhaps equal Importance in the prospective de-
velopment Of American foreign trade, not only with
South and Central America but with other foreign
countries, has been the awarding Of ocean mail con-
tracts under the Jones-White act for development Of me
American merchant marine. As a result Of contracts
already awarded, 20 new vessels are to be constructed
within a three-year period.
