General Balbo And
 His Fleet Started

The other planes followed in triads, evenly spaced one from the other and at 4:12 a. m. all were in the air.
 Without ado, the fleet, flying in military formation headed south easterly to sea.
 They were expected to arrive at their buoys in the Azores late this afternoon.
 The weather was reported good all along the east-southeast route to the islands. Six Italian ships stationed at less than 200 mile in- tervals along the carefully plotted course served as Hand" marks and flashed weather reports to the planes as they formed into the familiar flying columns of threes and roared over the sea.
 General Balbo gave orders that nine of the planes should land at Horta, or Fayal Island, and 15 should keep on to Ponta Del Gada, on San Miguel Island, 135 miles away.
 At the Azores Balbo was to de- eide his further route. Arrange ments have been made for a gala reception at Lisbon, when he reaches Europe, and France has invited him to stop at Marseilles.

 proposing that congress protest to the American congress regarding Ambassador Welles' activities. There were indications that army off1cers were uncertain of their proper course. Some were said to see in the mediation instituted by Welles hope for solution of the country's political troubles. If Machado proved obstinate and the only course left to the army was ruthless shooting down of cit izens or repudiation of Machado, many believed Machado would be

 Definite Philosophy
 Hitler's plans for his adopted land 20 deeper than mere oppor- tunistic exploitation of discontent. There is a pholosophic basis for 1t, nothing les sthan the blunt and complete denial of the principles of democracy and of human free dom. Magma Charta? So much boloney! Declaration of Independ- ence? Insufferable eye-wash!
 The whole thing traces back to a grim, pontincal German philoso- pher of the last century, called Hegel. Hegel's great contribution to the worlds notions of govern ment was the invention of the term, "The Organic State."
 that the individual doesn't count for much. He exists to do his duty by his state. And the duty of States is. said Hegel, to fit into Gods plan. Individual freedom has nothing to do with it-doesn't exist. Individual happiness has nothing to do with it = is merely a by-product. The State - the Or ganic State-is what counts.
 Hence, for Germany, the Dr. ganic State of Germany Is the most holy thing in the world. Two Words Symbolic
 Germany's Hitlerism !
 It is this idea which Hitler has been able to implant into his war tired and depression-d n-disheartened followers. They have given up, un- der his exhortation, old-fashioned notions of democracy and freedom. They have decided, instead, to take what Hitler gives them = and to like 1t.
 There are two words which symbolize Germany's ideal under Hitler to-day. The words are "Totalitat" and "Gleichschaltung."
 Hitler's lieutenant. Dr Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda and Enlightenment, has defined "Totalitat' as "the national con- dition in which every human be- ing thinks and acts in a way CO., ordinated with the thoughts and acts of every other human being"
 "Gleichschaltung" is the process of bringing this about.
 Upon these two symbolic words Adolph Hitler, with the persuasive help of bands, banners, and beam feasts (not to mention terrorism) Is bringing the new state of Ger many into being.

But they picked Kayak for their landing because there would be French officers to testify to their arrival.
 Official verification of the flight record will be made only after Codos and Rossi arrive at Paris and their instruments are checked by the air ministry and the Inter- national Aeronautic Federation.
 The aviators were anxious to re- turn at once. They had recovered from extreme exhaustion.
 They had to be lifted from their pdane when they landed. Almost all the way they had battled bad weather. over the Atlantic they could tell their position only for a short time. Over Europe they fought bad conditions. and they made the final portion of their long cruise from the Syrian coast.
 At first they had planned to cross via Aleppo, but the weather was 50 bad they swung. southward and crossed the coast at Antioch, 95 miles away. and went via Da- mascus. Army planes from Alep- DO and Deir- -Ez-Zor went out to the coast to meet them.

 To Hitler's mind-hence, to-day, the mind of Germany--the Ger man army is still undefeated. The individual soldier, brigade, divi- sion, army, was better than the enemy. Fate defeated the German soldier. It was some trick of the politicians on the home front. Germany could beat the world-and almost proved it..
