Year by year We have observed the steady growth
Of the appreciation accorded to Woodrow Wilson oy
the people, by the young as we'll as By the old, repub-
hcsns as we'll as democrats. And now, even the out.
gcing administration at Washington joins the admiring
achievement of his seven years in the White House is
sure. a timid imitation. a mere shadow Of Wilson's
great conception Of the League Of Nations, but yet th,
compact il conceived IN admiration or Wilson's splen-
did. vision.
Bot welI-mesning as the Kellogg pact may be. It
has meme Of the broad scope of wilson's great struc-
ture for peace. 1t has none Of its sound architecture,
none Of its virilty, none Of It's potency.
The League OF Nstions-vs think little Of IL in this
country because we are not in 1.-THE League is the
active agency through which ~fifty-two nations Of the
world are doing about al the effective work that u
being done to promote international peace and inter-
national welfare.
And Il 10 doing = very great deal Of such effective
work. For the last ten years Sir Eric rummcnd, Sir
Arthur Salter and the other leaders Of the permanent
secretsrist have been training the nations to bring
their troubles q Geneva for peaceful settlement. Mum
berless causes Of friction have been removed. Dis
putes have been happily accommodated. Best OF all.
Geneva il becoming the place to which mems thoughts
now naturally turn. who in older days would have
turned 70 thoughts or war. Discussion il taking the
place Of provocative incidents" Reason is supplant-
ing force. In the League Of Nations the people CT the
world have at last found a centre where internationaI
public opinion can make its weight felt. The mora
sentiment OF mankind nov has in Geneva a practical
machinery through which it can produce = practical
effect upon the conduct Of nations.

Brownsville An Aerial Gateway

Brownsville il developing one Of the finest munic.

pilots who have svsiled themselves Of the facilities Of

velopment and commended the progressive spirit man

in meeting the requirements OF a rapidly developing
field Of transport.

that Brownsville occupies q strategic position on the

the economies Of air transport ultimately will demand
that the advantages OF this route nc recognized. ard
tina, within another decade. possibly sooner, the great
vclEme Of nail. passenger and express traffic destined
fer Latin America will pass through this gateway.
AT the time Brownsville voted the bonds to finance
the airport. establishment Of the Mexican air mail over
this route was expected. Brownsville vas not dis

had resulted in Mexico designating another route. They
knew that the Brownsville route was the most Prac-
