/" of what aviation can do for
I| the progress and development
of country
Until some years ago the various settlements
I'm Colombia were completely isolated from each
other, while domestic and even foreign COM
Tnerce suffered the consequences of an almost
total lack of means of rapid communication
For tourists the trip to the principal cities of
Colombia was all of an adventure and had to
be made in small, slow boats on the rivers or
on muIeback taking weeks and weeks to cross
the country. For the natives themselves 1t
was problem to get from the coast to the
interior on account of the obstacles with which
nature had made the construction of railways
and good highways all but impossible in Co
lombia All this was reflected, naturally, in
the general economic condition of the country
hampering the advent of that prosperity which
other Latin American republics, more fortunate
than Colombia in regard to means of trans
portation were beginning to enjoy Until
aviation came.
When it had been proved to the world that
air transportation was a reality Colombia
realized that wings would bring the remedy for
her troubles. With few means of land COM
munication and hampered by nature from sue
cessfully developing these, Colombia was the
first South American nation to take up seri-
ously the use of air transportation for mail,
passengers and freight, establishing more than
nine years ago a regular service between her
principal Atlantic port and the capital of the
republic. From that time the transformation
of the country began. Commerce, industry,
national finances, all found themselves on the
threshold of new era, and the modernization
of the country went ahead with firm strides.
The number of air lines increased as time went
on, and today Colombia, convinced that her
future is in the air, presents the picture of
a rich nation, with wealth of resources, Of
energy in full swing of economic development,
RELOCATING to the past even the memory of that
unknown, backward Colombia that only yes
terday was desperately combating nature in her
endeavor to join together the scattered settle
ments of her extensive and unexpected patri-
mony.

MEXICO WARS
ON RAT PESTS

MEXICO CITY, July IA novel
method has been proposed for the
eradication OF the billions of rats
that have infested about 100000
hectares Approximately 100000
acres) OF rich farm land in the
states OF Michoacan and Jalisco. and
according to reports from the in
tested areas are now threatening
TO drive out many OF the inhabit-
ants.
The method. proposed by Adolfo
Aguirre of Pahuatlan, state Of Pue-
bla, and invented by w. M. Redier.
of Melbourne, Australia. Is called
the "K.OF." method, the initials
meaning kill only females"
It consists Of capturing several
hundred OF the rats and killing the
females, releasing the males. Since
male rats fight among themselves
for females when these become
scarce. the result would be that soon
such a free-for-all would ensue
among the polygemous males that
gtEaer control.
&enor AgJlirre says that this
method employed with rabbits In
Australia resulted In Kidding $4,000
hectares of the rodents. and that

his rats so per cent by employing

. The Mexican Ministry OF Agri-
culture has declared war on the
rats but to date poisoning. trap

have not kept them from multiply
ing. The Ministry has taken several
dozen rats TO a Mexico City labor
atory, where they viii be infected

Hamilton, N. Y, March 13 (UP) Sleep tests, now being conducted at Colgate university under the di rection of Dr. Donald A. Laird. have revealed there is no such thing as catching up" completely by sleep ing an abnormal length of time after a sleepless night.
 Laird, chief of the Colgate phy- chological laboratory. has eight stu dents in an ancient house on the Colgate campus. Last Saturday night he kept them awake all night, studied their reactions on Sunday morning and then allowed them to get Is hours sleep Sunday night.
 Now he is able to draw the fol- lowing general conclusions:

COMMUNISTS WARN
 AGAINST COERCION
Soviet Says ColIectiViZation
 Must Be Voluntary

Moscow, March 13.-(P)-Echoing to Soviet village officials not to use force in recruiting peasants for col lective farms, yesterdays pravda cautions all communist party work CTS and village officials that neither administrative measures nor open coercion must be rcsorted to.
 In all cases, Pravda says, member ship in these farms must be based upon the voluntary consent of the peasant himself.
 The paper also hints that adminis- trative measures must not be used in converting peasants from their re- liSious beliefs. At the same time, 1t says, these warnings must not be in- tcrpreted as weakening of the party's struggle to cXterminate the kulaks, or rich peasants, as class
 Punishment Promised
 Pointing out that both poor peasants and middle class peasants have been "de-kulaked" (meaning dispossessed and cXiled) in the party's general fight against real kulaks, Pravada says that any de- parturc from the partys instructions regarding cNtermnation of the kulak will be severely punished.
 There have been many cases where poor and middle class peas ants have been deprived not only Of their property but their voting rights" says Pravada, "such mis- takes must immediately be rectified and the property and rights of these peasants restored"
 | Pravada also admonishes village officials against attempting all at once to force 100 per cent commu. l nism upon the peasants by organ
 izing for example, collective farms
 in which all the property of the
 peasants including even his chickens geese and COWS are socialized. Where these instances have occurred. sucn l property must be returned to the [ owners. This, by no means. can be | considered as q step backward in our policy toward the kulak." Prayada concludes with the inn
 portant statement that those peas ants who have joined collective
 farms under duress arc free tc
 leave such farms. "Wc want to make clear that the voluntary consent ot
 the peasant and not the administra-
 tive force of the government is the
 basis of our collectivization scheme
