TOT AEA
The simple justice Of
putting all forms of
transportation on an
equal basis of regulation
is generally conceded.
However, that is not the
only reason why they
should be equally regu-
lated. The controlling
reason is one of public
economy.
In order to have an
efficient national system
of transportation giving
all the people the best
service at the lowest
total cost. every form of
transportation must be
used to do the work for
which it is best fitted.
Fitness is determined by
comparing service and
rates, and such compar-
isons are sure to be mis-
leading when there Is in
equality of regulation.
1t is in the public in
terest, therefore, to re-
quire all forms of trans
Portation to pay their
own way. as the railroads
do, and to be regulated
in the same ways and to
the same extent that the
railroads are.
Constructive criticism
and suggestions are in
vited.

The Thompson Air Race.

In winning the Thompson Trophy
race at Cleveland Monday, Lowell
Bayles. the recent addition to the small
group of men who are seeking to pro-
mote speed in airplanes, proved that
he not only possesses the fastest ship
in the United States, but is q real
threat to the 6-mile an hour straight
away mark held by "Ar' Williams.
Bayles' time in the event was 236 miles
an hour more than IS miles an hour
faster than the mark Of a year ago.
And when the record in that short
period can be raised to such q degree
it is q heartening sign to those who
want the United States to catch up
with others in the matter Of speed OF
aircraft.
RayleS unoficially has already piloted
his trim ship at better than 2s6 miles
an hour, miles an hour more than
the world landplsne record held by
Bonnet. Frenchman, but still far
short of the official seaplane record Of
S57 miles an hour. Sometime during
this week Rayles has announced that
he will seek to win net only the Ameri-
can title from Williams, but the French
title as we'll and his efforts will be
watched with interest by the entire
world of aviation.

other obtained unlettered tags. Then
coincident with the large increase IN

Mortgaging Armed Forces

French are sincere in their desire for
peace. They do not want war; they
do not want conquest; they do not
even want to spend any more money
on their armed forces than they have
to. The difference between the French
and other peoples is not one OF morals.
but of method and situation"
Some queries are offered by the 90
lumbus Ohio State Journal and the
Providence Bulletin Since the mo-
tives of warning countries are kept so
submerged and the protestations Of de-
Tense are so positive" asks the State
Journal who is TO determine the ag-
gressor?" The Bulletin comments:
Before nations agree to pool their
military resources with the League they
would like TO know what country y

and up to the present France has been
most powerful in the councils, which
might explain why her spokesman are
so fond of the plan. Again, by no

United States be pictured turning over
control Of her land. naval and sir
forces to another sovereignty, and with
out the United States in the combine

disposed to remove herself as the
principal stumbling block to interna-
tional accord. On the contrary, 1t

of any sort determine for them when
any other nation goes to war for pur-

placing their armed forces at the dis
position Of any such body"
His error" in the Judgment of the
Worcester Evening Gazette. lies in the
assumption that the League can func-
ton as a SUper-state in time of war. AS
a nation of realists the French ought
TO know that a European war between
major powers would almost inevitably
wreck the League"
The suggestion" as interpreted BY
the Jersey City Journal, rs merely that
the nations carry out the proposals
made more than Is years ago when the
League was formed. In the covenant of
the League OF Nations 1t was provided
that in the event of q war Of aggression
the Council shall recommend to the
several governments what military
forces the members OF the League shall
severally contribute to the armed forces
to be used to protect the covenants OF
the league The only departure notice
able in NJ. Paul-Boncour suggestion Is
that the armed forces Immediately would
be placed under the direction of the
League. rather than remaining under
the control of individual states until the
time of danger arises and the League
sends out the call" The Journal Is
convinced that the plan, "as much as 1t
may benefit Europe. is not likely to be
carried out Just yet, because Of the
mutual diStrust felt by the various
nations of the League-the same dis
trust which has prevented the. United
States from entering It,"
