Aviation Progress

The Department of Commerce report on aviation development in 1930 makes faseinat- ing and surprising reading There are now $50 aircraft employed by A companies on l25 routes and valued at Sl4.0OO.OOO, gain of 100 planes and $4.000,00O over the year before. During l930, aircraft flew total of 4O,080000 miles. carrying 4lSOOO passengers, 91o00o0 pounds of mail and 3,25O000 pounds of express To day there is scheduled air service flying more than l3O.- 900 miles every "A hours.
 Lighted airways increased in mileage from 13,4OO to l5,3O0; intermediate landing fields increased from 3l5 to 370, and the number of air beacon lights rose from l.470 to l.68O. Radio and tletype service is provided for send ing hourly weather reports to ground stations and flyers in the air over 9,400 miles of the established airways and IS being extended steadily. There are l64 more airports than there were year ago. with hundreds more planned Licensed planes licensed pilots and airplane mechanics are rapidly increasing in number This is all splendid development, but there is room for a great deal more use of the air The number of conservatives who have never been up in an airplane at all IS still rather large.

and criticize the work done by someone else. There are plenty of people who could not themselves run peanut stand and make 1t pay expenses, who will tell just what is wrong with the government and the eountry's biggest industries.
 It is not easy to manage any business. big or little. You can learn the technical pro- cesses in shops or schools. But when it comes to dealing with human nature. it is an ex- tremely elusive thing. People have way of doing something different from what was expected. The mistakes of business come largely from failure to predict the elusive and slippery tendencies of human nature. Business pays high reward to those who make good guesses at it. and the critics who think they can improve things, could earn high salaries if they really could.
 Human selfishness leads to many losses. he business man who grasps for himself without consideration of the welfare of his employees and the public. and the employe who does as little as he can for as much pay as he can get, are both headed for trouble. It is more effec- tive for people to try to get the yellow out of their own natures. than to point out its manifestations in other people. The concern that pays fair price for what 1t gets, and asks only fair price for what 1t sells, suffers the least from the mistakes of business
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-11

The decision of the Navy Department to abandon the Pacific Ocean Island of Guam as a station recalls the famous capture of the spot during the Spanish-American War. General Myers of the Marine Corps recalled that when war was declared he was stationed at Honolulu. Ordered to proceed to the Philippines the commander of his ship was told to capture Guam while enroute. Nobody knew where Guam was, so charts were used and ultimately the cruiser with its three transports sailed into Guam harbor Fire was opened upon the tiny fort. Strange to say, not a shot was heard m reply. Shortly afterward. though. small boat put off from shore and representative of the Spanish governor landed on the cruiser and apologizsd to the commander for not re- plying to his salute. They hadn't any can- non. They didn't even know there was war. They were glad to surrender to the Americans, the entire g Spanish soldiers. What situation that was! The marines. as usual had the situation well in hand.

In addressing the Federation of Women's Democratic Clubs at Norwalk yesterday Ma fional Committeeman Archibald McNeil re- ferred several times to the already famous Roton Point case which almost was the un- doing of the Legislature. Had the Assembly persisted in its course of action before 1t con vened we don't think the republican party would have leg to stand on today. The idea of shelving the only state park that Fairfield county possesses, Sherwood Island. for an ex- pensive amusement resort failed to attract as much support as republican legislators hoped it would.
 There are so many angles from which this could be discussed that one would hardly know which to tackle first. On numerous occasions we berated the Legislature for its effrontery in denying the state park and for est commission the right to develop seashore park fSr Fairfield county. This was to be done by naming a special commission to handle the entire affair. An appropriation ot S750, 900 was to be convenient for the special commission to do It's work Only the un- pleasant notoriety given by the press of the state and the weight of public opinion pre- vented this steal. However that has been we'll discussed
 What gained scant mention was the fact that the alternate site in Fairfield county, Ro- ton Point, is an amusement resort where gambling devices and games, similar to those in use at Savin Rock are quite common. As such resorts have enjoyed unusual popularity of recent years it might seem odd that one would be sold to the state even at the reported price of S600,000. However. may we recall that at the session just passed the Legislature repealed its gambling law which automatically will put Savin Rock. Roton Point, and kin- dred places practically out of business after October of this year. These resorts have one more summer in which to entice the unwary to their wheels of chance. etc.
 After that the enormous receipts will drop Hence, if the resort owners could sell their property at a nice price they would be well content to pack up and be gone. hey exacted their toll from willing gamblers in years passed. Used to nomadic life it IS no hard ship to pull up stakes and depart for richer claims And that, kind readers. is one little angle of the Fairfield county park squabble that was mentioned but casually while the Legislature was seething with excitement in its closing hours. If the state should ever put as much time. money. and energy into de- veloping Sherwood Island as it has to finding a substitute for it, we rather imagine the Greens Farms park would be the rendezvous of all of us who seek recreation in the open

Let Statesmen Go Abroad

Secretary of State Stimson is taking his vacation abroad this summer. IL is announced that he will visit Italy. France, Germany and England. Although he has asked foreign governments to avoid official ceremonies, 1t IS known that he will have many informal con versations with foreign officials on the sub iects that are of greatest moment to those eoun- tries and the United States.
 There should be more of this sort of inter national visiting. Several good things have been accomplished in the past few years by informal conversations between statesmen. formal confidence seems often to get nowhere and sometimes even to stir up new dlstrust and bad feeling. Occasionally conference has been saved from complete collapse by friendly private conversations between important leaders. If foreign travel IS so good for plain citizens. it should be even more valuable for statesmen

Legal Liquor Sale

At the recent world convention in Toronto, Canada, of the Women's Christian Temper ance Union speakers informed the gathering that the systems employed in Canada and Sweden to control liquor manufacture and sale were failures The Dominion of Canada is fast becoming nation of drinkers re- marked the Rev Dr A. J. Irwin. while Miss Marie Sandstrom head of Swedens Temper ance Union, ntimated rather strongly the same state of affairs existed in her country. Both speakers quoted numerous figures to show increases in crime and drinking All of which proves exactly nothing. We could quote sim liar figures in the United States to show that with prohibition drinking and crime have in- creased here.
 But what IS worse than these statistics IS the growth of the speakeasy and so-called club. When the temperance clubs were warning against the saloon they had real objective. Now that they have written prohibition on our statute books they fail to realize that what has replaced the saloon is infinitely worse than it ever could be. There certainly will be great difficulty in ever legaizing the sale of liquor in the United States now, because the forces who sell it illegally are too powerful and too we'll organized to lose prosperous businesses overnight. Talk about free access to liquor in Canada and Sweden with their government controlled sale, why it has nothing on this country where illicit manufacture of liquor has progressed to the point where fair quality is being offered and being consumed.
 Nobody has ever declared that the Cana dian and Swedish system of liquor control would succeed in the United States. hey have been suggested at intervals as prudent people cast about for some substitute for the noble experiment which has proved so disas- trous. Probably the system that would sue- eeed best in this country has not yet been tried It may never have been suggested. But suffice it to say that as long as the 18th amendment remains in force there will be little respect for all law. eneral dsrespeet is pro- dueed by fragrant disobedienee of the liquor laws. A law to remain one must be sub- scribed to by those to whom it applies It
 is patent the dry laws arouse no respect.

Girls Lunches

A lot has been said and written about the troubles the American girl. in business and in college, has brought on herself by slim lunches An English doctor thought the same diet folly existed in his country and warned young Brit ish womanhood that tea and buns do not provied sufficient energy for a good days work" An enterprising newspaper reporter thereupon went out to see what girls were cat ing for lunch He found most of them par taking of such lunches as steak and kidney pudding. liver and bacon. fried fish and chips. a cut off the joint with vegetables, and so on. A girl who ordered nothing but tea and buns was asked whether that was her regular lunch con- She replied she d had her lunch an hour or two ago and had merely Slipped out for bite.
 That seems to an American to prove that the situation in England isn't serious. Per haps these menus represent big curtallment of the normal British luncheon. but they sound hearty to us. And one mustn't forget that, in England. between lunch and dinner comes tea Somebody on this side of the water should make similar investigation of American lunches. Perhaps they. too, are in- crcasng in quantity since the boyish figure went out and curves came in

Canoe Headlights

The Bureau of Navigation has issued new order, effective June 1 requiring the use of adequate warning lights of some sort on all canoes on .navigable waters. This may seem an awful blow to romance. but it is also a blow to accidents and drownings The lights in this case are defensive. A canoe in the dark is easily run down.
 Navigable waters are crowded these days, not alone with slow and quiet row boats. canoes and salboats. but with swiftly darting motor boats dedicated primarily to speed, It becomes increasingly imperative that all types of craft on the water carry lights fo general safety.
