A Notable Flight.

Baked in their efforts to Surpass the
astounding world fight Of Post and
Gatty, Hugh Herndon, jr., and Clyde
Pangborn nevertheless etched their
names deep in the tablet which re-
counts great accomplishments in the
aviation history of this country. Yes
terday they landed at Wenatchee,
Wash, forty-one hours after they had
left japanese soil for the forty-six-
hundred-mile flight to the United
States. And thus they become the first
men in history to span the Pacific in
an airplane without stop. Never of
their course and averaging better than
a hundred miles an hour, they have
indeed set up a mark for others.
Difficulty after difficulty had to be
surrnounted by these daring flyers in
order to make the Pacific flight. I'm
disn1ayed when Post and Gatty re-
turned to New York with the world
circling record of eight days. they set
out in the dawn of the twenty-eighth
of July to lower the record, planning
only five stops for the entire trip. IN
clement weather conditions and the low
speed of their plane, due to the enor-
nous amount of fuel that they were
carrying, put them across the Atlantic
to England a discouraging number OF
hours behind the mark of their prede-
cessors. Doggedly they kept on, how
ever, until a forced landing in Man.
churia took them out of the race alto
gether. 1t was then they decided to GO
on to Toxic and compete for the prizes

Dwight w. Morrow.

The death of Dwight w. Morrow,
Senator from New Jersey, is loss to
the country and to the Senate. The
country can Ill spare his services. Al
though Mr.. Morrow's entry into public
life began only four years ago, he was
widely recognized as one Of America
foremost statesmen, wise in council and
steadfast in purpose. His first impor-
tant public service, as Ambassador to
Mexico. was signally successful and re-
suited in the adjustment of differences
with that country which had been ex-
istent for years. His position as dip
lomat was thereby established. When
President Hoover was elected Chief Ex-
ecutive many friends Of Mr.. Morrow
believed that he should be chosen Sec
rotary of State. Later he was selected
by President Hoover as one of Americas
delegates to the London Naval Confer
ence, and finally he was elected Sena-
tor of the United States.
The future of Dwight w. Morrow
bulked large. 1t held promise of val
liable service to his country at time
when leaders of his caliber are needed.
In many quarters it was predicted that
he would be perhaps the running mate
of President Hoover on the national
ticket next year, and the suggestion
was widely made that in 1896 he be
the candidate of the Republican party
for President. In the twinkling of an
eye all this has changed. Mr.. Morrow,
really at the Threshold of his public
service to his country, has passed into
history.
The New Jersey Senator leaves host
Of warm personal friends. Unassum-
ing, modest and genial, his personality
was nevertheless strongly magnetic.
His career has been an exemplification
of the opportunity which this country
has offered to so many young men in
the past and continues to offer today.
1t is true that when he left Amherst
College with his degree in his hand he
had been voted the most likely to sue
coed of all his fellows. But he had his
way to make in the world. He was the
son of poorly paid college professor
in West Virginia His first job was in
a lawyers Office in Pittsburgh. He dis
covered that if he planned to go ahead
in the law he must have degree from
a recognized law school. He entered
Columbia, in New York, and emerged
in 1899. His first job in law Office
thereafter was at $50 month. In a
comparatively few years he had become
member of the law firm. From law
he went to finance in the j. P. Morgan
Co. as a partner. And it was from that
firm that former President Coolidge,
his classmate at college, took him to
represent the United States as AM
basSador in Mexico.
Mr.. Morrow was fifty-eight years old,
in the prime of life. For years he had
worked hard and conscientiously and
recently had been very active These
years apparently took their toll. A
clear thinker when dealing with prob
lens presented to him, Mr. Morrow was
tower of strength in conference
President Hoover had come to rely upon
his judgment and Mr.. Morrow was one
of the first men to be summoned to
many important conferences at the
White House. In the present economic
crisis, his death is particularly I'M
fortunate.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Fair Proposition.
If to me you tell your troubles
And If tell mine to you,
Each in a moment doubles
The crop that first he grew.
The world will seem vexatious,
We will long for distant spheres
AS we seek spot more spacious
To accommodate the tears.
If cynical impression
Dominates your state Of mind,
Don't obstruct the joy procession
For the rest Of human kind.
Some hopes are only bubbles,
But we all admire few.
So please don't tell me your trouble.
And I won't tell mine to you.

A Solemn Referendum.

When the British people march to
the polls in a general election, issues OF
more or less Importance which divide
the parties politically are at stake. Sell
dom is it question of more burning
gravity than to decide whether Con-
servatives or Liberals shall rule in
Downing Street and the House of Com
mons. In later years it has been a
question, too, of whether Labor should
be intruSted with power, for since 1924
Britain has been afflicted with the
three-party system.
At the election to be held, as is now
probable, on october %, a wholly un-
precedented and far more vital issue
is involved. AS the result of protracted
conferences with the King and with
Conservative and Liberal leaders, Mr..
Macdonald last night definitely de-
cided to go to the country. Tomorrow
Parliament will be 'prorogued," which
is the British term for dissolution, and
three weeks hence the people will be
asked to give the national emergency
government a doctors mandate" BY
that idiom Premier Macdonald and his
cabinet colleagues mean free hand TO
deal with the supercritical situation IN
which Great Britain finds itself. The
,soctor'' desires to be utterly untram-
aneled in prescribing such economic
and political medicine as the sorely
stricken nation requires.
The governments delay in ordaining
an election has been due to the neces-
sity of inducing the tri-partisan cabinet
to agree upon platform. Mr.. Bald
wins Conservatives held out to the bit
ter end against any appeal to the
electorate which did not emphasize a
protective tariff as the cure-all for
British woes. Mr.. Lloyd Georges Lib
erals as tenaciously opposed any aban-
donment of the ancient free trade shib-
boleth. Mr.. Macdonald and his hand
full of Labor supporters in the cabi-
net-deserted by the party which placed
them in ofice-took middle ground on
the tariff, though supposedly with pro-
tectionist leanings.
Apparently Mr.. Macdonald has sue
cessfully enacted the Bismarckian role
of the honest broker, and brought the
antagonistic tariff elements together,
at least for immediate purposes. A
manifesto sanctioned by the entire
national government is about to be is
sued. The tariff may be shelved for
the moment, because of the pressing
necessity for remedies in more urgent
directions. But it cannot be long or
permanently suppressed. If the coun-
try gives the national cabinet a doc
tors mandate" and the patient re-
wives under the ensuing treatment, the
Baldwinites sooner or later will be
found doing business at the old stand,
hosting anew the banner Of protec-
ton and, If they win the day at some
future general election, writing fms to
free trade.
British Labor's performance in the
impending election will be watched
with anxious interest at home and
abroad Mr.. Macdonald appears de-
termined to seek reelection to the
House of Commons as Laborite from
his old constituency at Seaham Harbor,
where at least some of his former sup
porters are standing by him. That
Labor will be returned to Parliament
a majority party is hardly within the
realm of possibilities. 1t will doubtless
be condemned rather to noisy but i'm
potent opposition.

Use of Idle Land
Urged for Unemployed

To the Editor OF The Star:
While every one is trying to offer
suggestions that might afford relief in
these times of unoccupation OF so many
of our fellow citizens, would it not be
a most opportune time for our Govern
ment to aid them in securing habita-
ton and employment by making use of
the unoccupied areas of our vast coun-
try? I feel sure that with the moneys
being appropriated for Unemployment"
the United States Government could do
vast amount of good by using this
money to build habitable shacks and
donating lands for people who are will
ing to go Back to the Soil'' for their
homes, and they would get mental and
healthful benefit therefrom.
Also the Governors of each State
could be authorized to do the same with
the unoceupied lands. belonging to the
State. F. P. STERN.
