HIGHWAYS of the Air

Aviation developed in the United States has
been largely federal municipal and commercial
advancement with states and counties not partici-
pating.
The day is at hand when this no longer will be
the case because states and counties must OF neces-
sity play their part in expansion of this new in
dustry
In 1926 a total of $500 passengers was carried
in arpanes in this country. In 1928 the figure rose
to 1900 and this year likely will see the 100000
mark passed However, with only federal assist
ance the industry go only far and that period
soon will arrive
Unless the states and counties take hand, there
will be marked slowing up in development, so far
private flying, particularly, is concerned.
The automobile never became real factor in
ong-distance travel until the states and the federal
government joined in creating federal-aid high
ways Cost of these highways has been, roughly,
$4,000 mile, a figure which swells largely when
maintenance cost is added The development came
so private individuals might travel far and wide in
their automobiles.
Federal-aid highways of the air now are being ad-
vocated in aviation industry and it is not surprising
because long distance flying can be accomplished
only over marked routes with ample landing facl-
ities night lighting of airports radio beacons and
other safety devices
Growth of the air mail, which up to few years
ago marked the only aeronautcal progress in this
country outside of the army and navy, has brought
about $1,000 miles of lighted and improved air
ways mostly paid for by federal government An
appropriation of provided the last fiscal
year and this probably will be increased to nearly
100000 for the pending year.
AS in highway development the federal govern
ment will establish transcontinental routes only in
the paths Of the air mail planes Lateral routes must
be supplied by the states and that is where state
and county governments must figure.
So far only four states have the necessity of
aerial highway development-Idaho Virginia. Penn
Syvania and New York Others will be forced into it
and must begin to give serious thought to the subject
Municipalities are doing their part creating air
ports but it is noticeable that communities in certain
states more progressive along that line than in
others.
Figures worked out on highways of the air show
a cost of $4,000 mile, including lighting at 1892
Maintenance will be around $500, it is estimated
much cheaper than $4,000 mile for highways
The states either act in advance of pressure
from their citizens, await the time they will be
forced to do so. Just how progressive or backward
they may be will be judged at not too distant
date by the course that they take

The Russian Viewpoint

1t sometimes is good to get the other persons point
M view.
When Secretary Stimson dispatched note to Rus
IN, by way of France, reminding the Russian
government of its obligations under the Kellogg pact
most OF us enjoyed thrill Of self-righteousness.
There was Russia and China apparently about to do
Dne another to death the question of the Man
Enurian railway
A fair-szed war seemed imminent and if the World
war taught the world anything it that anybody's
var is pretty apt to become eyerybodys In keep
ing with most other peoples the American people want
peace. They do not wish to engage in war themselves
and they do not want the orderly business Of the world
upset. by war anywhere.
So our disposition was to cheer when fortnight
secretary of state took the matter in hand From
point Of view the situation seemed simple enough
Russia would have to listen to secretary of state
especially since he had taken the precaution to per-
euade lot of other signatores of the Kellogg pact to
send similar notes to Russia.
Now, however, we get the Russian point of view.
Russia, says her secretary of state, at the time
France delivered the American note, was engaged in
direct negotiations with the Manchurtan government
CThese negotiations are said to have been sue
cessfully completely Under the circumstances the
ton of the United States looked to Russia like unjusti
fable pressure on the negotiations-n other words
nnfrtendy act
Well, we'll have to admit that it might very well
box just that way in Moscow.
Finally the Russian spokesman could not forbear
expressing little amazement. He just couldn't; he
said so in many words
1.-THE Soviet government he said, "can not forbear
expressing amazement that the government of the
United States, which by its own will has official re-
ations with the Soviet deems it possible to apply to
it with advice and counsel"
To be completely candid. Russias amazement is
not altogether unnatural. Indeed the Russian gov
eminent could have been amazed when it asked to
sign the Kellogg pact and when its signature was &C
ceped despite refusal to admit officially that the
Russian government really is the Russian government.
However, this little singer in the tail of the Rus
sian note is not the important thing The important
thing is that Russia declares she has effected peace
able settlement of the Manchurian dispute. If this is
true we accept the rebuke. 1t should be easy to
submerge our embarrassment in satisfaction over
the avoidance of
AS for the Kellogg pact, its value to the world is
not lessened in any degree That, we believe, will be
made clear RuSsaS announcement of peace in Man
churia proves to be premature.

A N obscure man in West Virginia
IN just has gone to jail, and his
obscure family to the poorhouse. He
went because of certain legal penal
ties which have been set up in
America, largely under the demand
and drive of Christian men and
women.
And T say that whatever you or
I may think of Volsteadism and its
benefits or evils, there can be no
denial of the fact that the crueltieS
which have crept in under prohi-
bition are in no sense Christian.
They are born of a hate and vio-
lence which is wholly at variance
with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Here is the story, as reported in the
Charleston (W. Va Gazette:
"a few sips of liquor which Emery
j. Salisberry took with the boys up
in Webster county earned him a
sentence of three years in Atlanta
prison from United States District
Judge George w. McClintic yester-
day.
"Judge McClintic was sitting yes
terday afternoon to call the civil
docket and dispose Of score or
more criminal cases coming over
from previous terms of court.
"In nearly all of these criminal
cases, the defendants entered pleas
of guilty at the March term and
were told to prove by their conduct
between then and now that they
would merit probation.

THE mumbling my! MyI My!"
4 of the bewildered old man ought
to ring out through America. He
had right to express surprise. Such
things should not be, and the peo-
pie who should be first to demand
the modification of cruel and I'M
usual punishments ought to be the
Christian men and women who form
the backbone of the militant dry
organizations.
I will be told that before prohibi-
ton, families went to the poor
house because of the evil of alco-
holism. That is true.
But the Punishment did not come
under the official sanction of a duly
appointed governmental official, and
no one cheered and said, 1--WE want
more laws, more laws with teeth in
them"
1t is important to bear in mind
not only the tragedy, but the quar-
ter from which it comes. To an ig-
norant old man, the blow which has
fallen upon him must seem the
senseless and bitter Judgment of a
whimsical old tryant. And, may I
ask, how does it seem to you?
No government should function
by a force which cripples the weak
and helpless. In fact, any power
which rests wholly upon compulsion
can not forever endure.
To me it seems impossible for
anybody to be a good Christian and
a militant prohibitionist at one and
the same time.
There is a gulf between that spirit
which believes that might makes

I say again that this spirit of
