Peace Garden Urged
For u. S. and Canada

From the Buffalo Evening news.
The proposal for a peace garden along
the boundary between the United States
and Canada to commemorate ana
perpetuate the friendship OF the two
nations grows in favor. Several localities
have offered sites for the development
of this happy idea.
"The peace garden will be an example
tn the nations of the world" said Henry
J. Moore of Toronto. who originated
the idea and who recently made an
address here, that there Is better
wav of settling international dimculties
than through recourse to war. Not only
has war between the United States and
Canada been unthinkable, but the two
nations. through the medium OF the
international garden and through q
pledge which might be contained
therein. make war impossible"
An endowment Of $4,000 TO pe
raised by popular subscriptions, Is
souRht for the international garden.
The purpose is so much to be COM
mended that little difficulty Should be
encountered In raising this amount.
The probability is that cnce started,
the enterprise will be so enlarged that
eventually gardens will bloom the whole
length of the boundary as an outward
and visible sign of peace and good
will,

Cotton and Textiles.

From the Charlotte Observer.
In the cotton and textile markets. as
we'll as in stocks, the last week was one
of the most interesting in many months.
The cotton market, in the broadest and
most active trading witnessed on the
New York exchange in more than two
years, established net gains Of approx
imately $3.50 bale. placing prices $40
a bale above the low mark established
on June s.
The upturn in the raw material quick
ly changed the tone of the cotton goods
market. and business was placed at q
more rapid rate than had been seen for
some months, according to Textile
World. Prices of print cloths went q
quarter cent higher than at the be-
ginning Of the week and by the middle
of the week sellers had sold more than
100000 yards. AS much more could
have been sold, Textile World says, but
ing orders until prices became more
stabilized. Buyers found they could not
dictate delivery dates to the extent ex-
pected. BroadclothS and narrow sheet
ing improved, the latter to a smaller
degree than other cotton fabrics, how.
ever.
And so 1t was an encouraging week
for both the cotton grower and manu-
facturer, due to President Hoover's an
nouncement Of his proposal to bring
about a one-year holiday in payment OF
intergovernmental debts and repara-
tions. This week the markets Will be
watched with interest no less keen than
last week.
In passing 1t might be remarked that
1t is fortunate that the upturn In the
price OF cotton came too late for the
farmers to increase their acreage.

The Treaty and the Navy.

The Senate Of the United States just
year ago ratified the London naval
treaty, fixing the limitation Of naval
strength of America, Great Britain and
Japan In all categories Of vessels not
covered in the Washington treaty Of
1922. Under the terms Of this treaty
the United States is authorized to con-
struct new cruisers, submarines and
destroyers, to bring the American Navy
up to its allotted tonnage. What has
been done? The Congress which closed
its doors March 4 last appropriated
money to begin the construction Of
eleven destroyers which had been au-
thorized by Congress a number Of years
earlier, but for which the money had
not been forthcoming. In the matter
of cruisers, Congress already had au-
thorized the construction of the 10000
ton S-inch gun cruisers allotted to this
country.
There Is need, however, Of new sub
marines and aircraft carriers and Of
new 6-inch gun cruisers to bring the
American Navy up to the treaty
strength. The Navy Department adj
vanced a modest program at the last
session Of Congress, calling for the
authorization Of one new aircraft car
rier, three submarines and two 10000
ton 6-inch cruisers. But the program

already operating New York-Los Angeles
passenger and express service. Planes
are now being transformed for this
work. 1t is planned to make the flight
OF LOO miles in eleven hours or less.
At first no exact schedule viii be main
tanned, the planes being held at
terminals and intermediate stopping
points for the accommodation Of ship
pers. until the service is established.
1t is believed that the slowness with
which the air express has developed In
this country has been due to the rigidity
of the schedules, which have been
necessitated by reason Of the fact that
the planes are primarily mail carriers,
which must make time. The present
plan is to charge an average tariff Of a
cent q pound for each hundred miles.
This is an experimental tariG, for moth
ing Is known yet as to the ultimate
capacity OF the planes and the measure
Of patronage which will be accorded
them. Nor Is any rule yet announced
regarding the size Of packages that may
be carried.
Henry Ford's privately operated air
freight line, maintained as q feature
of his inter-plant system, has proved
its worth to its owner. The public use
of the plane for goods carriage remains
to be demonstrated.
1t is not beyond reason to expect that
within a decade, perhaps half OF that
time, air freights will be regularly and
profitably established, a fixed feature
Of the transportation system CT this
country.

Air Freight Lines.

Development of aviation in America Is
proceeding space. Intercity daily, even
hourly passenger service has been for
some time in operation. with such de-
pendable and rapid schedules that the
number of passengers carried Is steadily
increasing. Additional lines are being
established as the prospect of profitable
operations is made bright by the ex-
perience of pioneers in the field. Rail-
roads, somewhat affected in their pas
senger returns by the competition Of the
air lines, are themselves taking hand
in airplane operation. as in New Eng
land, where the Boston g. Maine, In
cooperation with the Maine Central,
has undertaken the formation Of an
airplane operating company to main
tain passenger services between Boston
and Bangor, with stops at intermediate
points. Three planes will daily be
flown each way, the time between
Boston and Portland being cut to fifty
I'VE minutes.
A Washington Chicago service has
Just been established which will run
on q schedule Of three hours and fifty
minutes between the two cities, with
two ten-minutes stops. making a flying
time Of three hours and thirty minutes.
This extraordinary advance In speedy
service is certain to draw a considerable
patronage.
OF especial interest is an announce
ment that within a month a strictly
freight air service will be established
be:ween New York and Kansas City.
This will be in connection nth the

teriStics with traits Of character. Per-
hapS 1t would be better to say that
science never attempted to make this

"All the world loves a fat man." Sc
went the old saying, but there was

got nowhere. The greatest concession
to naval building which the Congress
would make was the appropriation
for the eleven new destroyers. The
new destroyers are essential, to be sure,
for this country, which constructed .
large number Of destroyers ut the time
Of the World War. has laid down none
since. The destroyers are becoming
obsolete, and the worst OF 1t appears
to be that many Of them will become
antiquated at the same time.
It was q foregone conclusion that
big effort would be made to pro-
vent the United States building Its
Navy up to full treaty strength. Con-
ditions in the country and in the
Treasury played into the hands of the
little Navy group In Congress and out
The administration necessarily was
made more cautious In demanding new
naval construction by the fact that a
large deficit In the Treasury was LOOM
ing. The deficit Is now here. This
does not give much hope to the friends
OF the Navy who believe that steps
should be taken without further delay
to bring about better balanced and
more adequate Navy for the national
defense. II the last Congress declined
to go ahead with the Navy Departments
program, which appeared modest in the
extreme. what may be expected Of the
new Congress when 1t meets next De-
cember?
The other naval powers, including
France and Italy, which did not become
full signatories to the London treaty,
have, on the other hand, gone ahead
with naval construction. They have
been doing SO ever since the Washington
naval treaty was ratified back in 1922,
although this country has remained
almost at q standstill. The willingness
Of the European nations to continue
naval building, although they have been
hard pressed economically and finan-
cially, is one of the reasons that many
| Americans are ayerse now TO further
curtailing or canceling the war debts OF
these countries to America. Why, the
American people argue. should this
country remit debts TO Europe II the
money Is to be used in building up big
ornaments? There does not Sc I'M to be
the slightest chance that there will be
debt cancellation unless the United
States is given definite assurance that
armament expenditures in the debtor
nations are to be materially curtailed
In the meantime, however, 1t bshooves
the American Congress TO look carefully
into the position in which its refusal to
construct new naval vessels leaves this
country. when 1t comes to the vital
question OF national defense. 1t Is the
duty OF the administration to use Its
influence with the Congress to bring
about a proper naval program. This
country learned that it could not create
an army Overnight" in 1917. 1t Is
much more difficult to build q Navy ir
any such period Of time.
