THE AMERICAN AIR ROUTE

The route that the Graf Zeppelin took from Los Angeles to Lakehurst might b. described as the American air route-the easiest across the continent in that it avoids the high attitudes of the American Rockies.
 It will be remembered that the route lay along southern California, Arizona, New Mexico to Fl Paso, Tex. Even beyond Fl Paso the route for a time followed the valley of the Rio Grandc. By choosing this route Dr. Eckener followed a line of low attitudes, one that gave him the least bother with the mountains. It is the ideal air route to or from southern California, especially for dirigiblcs.
 Dirigibles-and the time has come 10 consider them as serious contend CTS in the battle for air supremacy cannot readily surmount the high attitudes that passages over moun- tainous districts demands. The Graf Zeppelin had difficulty in climbing the Stauoval range in Siberia, and had even more difficulty in getting over loWlands of the Rockies along the Rio Grande territory although this was partly if not wholly due to

AN ADVANCE FOR LAWRENCE

It has been the custom, when necessary to point out horrible example of hard times in New Eng land, to single out the city of Law renee in Massachusetts. The trouble with Lawrence has been that it grew to be a textile center. and when the textile industry began adopting the symptoms of a drunken sailor the town went to the dogs. Business be- came so bad in Lawrence that even the millionnaires preferred not to discuss it.
 But in New England even a city which threatens to become like an abandoned mining town does not reach that finish. There is always a kick left somewhere and Lawrence is beginning to stir around like an old man finding his second youth.
 The wise men who have been try ing to reha abilitate the wastes of the city have struck rich vein of pos abilities by inducing a concern oper- ating plants in New York, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania and elsewhere to sign up for d grand removal to Law renee, where all the diverse interests Of the concern will be brought to- 1 gether for the first time in it's his tory. The concern is not in the tex tile business, either which greatly pleases Lawrence. It turns out mechanical creations and will em- ploy 5000 persons in Lawrence. The mechanical workers will receive con- siderable more pay than textile workers.
 This will be an instance of a great concern moving to New England Let the Southern editors take due notice.

POST OFFICE LAND

How the government obtains it's way is forcefully illustrated in the negotiations under way for securing the Davis tract alongside the New Britain post office building, which is needed for the addition to be built
 The entire project is to cost s250, 1000 and no more. As the govern ment already is said to have paid S65, 900 for the Caldwell tract, on which there was three story build ing, the sum of $1S5,OOO remains for the purchase of the Davis tract and the erection of the post office addi- tion.
 Manifestly, if the addition is to be anything in harmony with the pres ent fine building the government cannot pay very much for the Davis building. Consequently, negotiations at the governments figure having been unsuccessful, the governme ent will start condemnation proceedings.
 It may be that the owners of the Davis tract are asking too much for the property or the government is offering too little. But there is no way of bucling the government once the government starts to have it's own way. It is true that a price paid as the result of condemnation pro- ceedings is one regarded as fair by an impartial tribunal; but that doesn't necessarily mean it is in con- formity with what the owner thinks it is worth or what he might obtain from some other buyer at some other time.
 The upshot of all such deals is that the government gets it's way; and the impression is sometimes wide spread that flock of canny Scotch men are running it.

QUITTING THE RHINELAND

The weird situation in the Rhine land, which Americans who digested the meaning of the Locarno pact, Kellogg pact, Dawes plan Young plan, and various other good will items, had begun to regard as an in ternational circus, at length promises to evaporate. Uncle Sam, sensing that something ridiculous was afoot, pulled his troops out of the territory in 1923 as the best way to avoid further Identification with foreign entangle- ments. The wisdom of this action was proven by what followed. In spite of all the pacts and the separations settlement it is probable that British, French and Belgian troops would have continued to re- main in the Rhineland had it not been that Great Britain forced ac- ton by announcing she would leave the territory rather pronto, followed by a similar declaration by Belgium. As was expected. French diplomacy Immediately faced difficult condi- ton and the upshot is a general agreement to vamoose from the area as quickly as possible.
 Even so it takes trops longer 10 evacuate a territory than one would surmise, the British and Belgians who are in q hurry not being able 70 leave the land quicker than in three months, while the French will quit in ten months. After this control of the Rhineland, or what of it there is needed. will be carried out by the commissions of conciliation estab- lished by the Treaty of Locarno. in joint jurisdiction with the League of Nations. This satisfies German government officials, who let it be known long ago that continued occupation of the Rhineand furnish ed bad political situation at home. German officials. it must not be over- looked, now also need votes to stay in office.
 It is satisfying that Britain and France at last were able to agrec after the exhibition of few weeks ago. when England threatened 10 re- ject the Young plan but demanded evacuation Of the Rhineland. while France demanded there be no cvacu- alton unless there were agreement upon the division of Young plan separations.
 France seems to have won hel point, while MT. Snowden's origina ribald statement that Britain would

News Exchange Established Among Paris Journalists

Harrys New York bar on rue Danou in Paris is the rendezvous for international journalists and es- pecially free lances from America.

One man may have story which is of interest to citizens of Deluth. Minn., which one of the others wants; he'll lay his cards on the table without fear of a breach of etiquette and the story will go to the highest bidder. Stories are thrown on the open market, and there are many correspondents who never leave the place except to sleep and eat.
 Some of the men have just ar rived from Budapest, Russia or Madrid. They, of course, have q fund of information which others pick on for their home town news paper, The tips for newsgathering are placed on the market and these tips are passed around at will,

THE ARABS DEMANDS

For week there have been count | less demands made upon the Brit ish government relative to the Palestinian mandate. It has taken this long for demands to be heard from an Arab council as well, which finally has given it's side of the wag- ing controversy.
 These demands appear 10 be in the nature of lf-determination. The Arabs ask for a Parliament in Palestine, revocation of the Balfour Declaration, and the non-admission into the territory.
 This is a large order. In all probability it will not be granted. Refusal to accede to the demands though. will create additional hard feelings among the Arab population and probably serve as a source of irritation to stimulate future clashes and cause Great Britain to wish it had never heard about the mandate.
 The religious disturbance in Palestine can be permanently eliminated by decisive action regard ing either the Arabian or Zionist policies. which oppose one another, according to Edmond ". Gabriel, British financial adviser and ad- ministrator of Palestine in 19lS-19.
 It is worth while at this point to summarize how the present impasse | came about Early in the World war attacks were made by the Turks or Moslems upon the Suez canal, which though unsuccessful, indicated to Great Britain the importance of hav- ing Arabian protection in that quarter.
 The sheriff of Mecca was found NiiliI6 bO lltSobldlb NllH the BflIlSn, | since the Arabs desired above all other things independence from the | Turks. The agreement made with the sheriff of Mecca was whereby the Arabs were guaranteed independnce | in return for protection in the Suez sector, Subsequently the Arabs nobly l helped the British
 At the end of the war Sir Herbert Samuel suggested that a national home be provided for the Jews in l Palestine. The Arabs objected and
 became frightened. They have been objecting eyer since. Their demands
 indicate they are prepared for quite q discussion after the present situa-
 ton has died down sufficiently tc

AL SMITHS TOWER

It must be with considerable shock that numerous stalwart Hooverites discover that the Hon. Al F. Smith can make a good livelihood without being on the payroll of the state of New York.
 They were saying last fall, it will be remembered, that MT. Hoover was q great engineer and that MT Smith had done nothing to distinguish him. self except to be identified with politics.
 We have actually heard Hoover men say that after the election Alfred E. Smith would be good for nothing else but driving a truck.
 It is true, Mir Smith has been "out of a job" for eight months, during which time he played some golf and recuperated from the campaign by writing his autobiography for the Satevepost at a higher rate per word, line. paragraph, column or page than any other public official or ex-official ever commanded. He also has been on a few directorates.
 And now he is going back to work and it isn't truck driving. All he has done is to become president of the Empire Building Corporation, which will erect the largest office building in the world on the site of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York The building is to be so stories high. or 20 stories high than the Woolworth tower.
 This little job which the happy warrior will have the chief voice in carrying out will cost a mere s6o,- 900. .000. His associates will be bank CTS, capitalists and similar gentlemen of action and enterprise.
 The structure will be known off, cially as the Empire State building: but unoficially we here and now dub it Al Smiths tower.

The Passion for Work!

By Harold P. Epps Oh, truly love to practice my vocation, For I'm awfully industrious at heart; There's happiness, I find, in cele- bration Of the problems of my business and my art. When l cannot get a golf game or a card game And there isn't anyone on whom to call. Then-though many think that labor is a hard game l don't mind bit of slaving- not at all. When I've finished all my gossip with my neighbors, And my photographic records have been played, can plunge into the middle of my labors With a spirit that is wholly unafraid For I hate the very thought of any shirking, And that Labor conduers all" I know is true, And you'll always find me vigor- ously working When there's absolutely nothing else to do.

Why Senator Bingham reversed his committee vote on the manganese tariff becomes clear from his state ment that he did so because Presi- dent Hoover advised the change. But the senator's statement puts President Hoover in the light Of playing lightly with a campaign promise.

windy weather .


 The air mail planes find less trouble in crossing the Rockies, and they are doing it every day. Before the air mail planes reach Utah and Nevada they must traverse passes that are at least 5000 feet above sea level-at least, this is the highest level negotiated by the Union Pacific. In order to avoid the crags and peaks while the railroad follows the lowest terrestrial pathway the planes must go several thousand feet higher in order to provide safe passage. This height might be followed by a Zeppelin, But not if the commander could find a lower passage In more roundabout way. The Zeps are light CT than air, but not so very much lighter than rarefied air that is from one-third to fifth as heavy as air at sea level.
 Adventurous airmen have passed right over the top of some of our high peaks. It is scarcely worth while considering the altitude climbers in this connection as where special oxygen tanks are necessary the ele- ment of practicality vanishes. But there can scarcely be much doubt that airplanes are able to traverse high mountainous territories with greater freedom than the Zeps, al- though that fact does not detract from the other advantages of the dirigibles.
