TO REGULATE AIR
TRAFFIC IN STATE

Cooperation of every Minnesota
municipality and civic club will be
asked by the Minnesota Aeronautics
commission in its plan to regulate in
tra-state air traffic.
Col. L. H. Brittin, executive vice
president of the Northwest Anyways
and chairman of the commission, in
calling attention to the aeronautics
law passed at the last session of the
legislature declared that its require
ments as to the licensing and regulat-
ing of airports, air schools, flying
clubs and pilots will be rigidly enforc-
ed.
"The Federal government regulates
Interstate air commerce." he said,
"but until the passage of the aero
nautics law no attempt has been
made to protect the public and the
aviation industry in aviation activi-
ties within the state. For this rea-
son the commission is working out
a plan of regulating air traffic in
Minnesota and it's enforcement will
be made possible only through the
cooperation Of those municipalities
and organizations interested in the
development of commercial aeronaut-
les"
The law requires the licensing of
all airports, air schools, landing fields
and flying clubs, their regulation and
the registration Of all pilots and air
craft operators.

Mexicans Refused
Aid From County

Waseca county commissioners have
fatty refused to furnish money to
support the wife and young daughter
of Mexican beet worker who is now
an inmate of the county Jail, charged
with breaking into the Senske gro
Gerry store.
One board member said he was OPP
posed to appropriating any money to
aid them, that they should be sent
back to Mexico. Others felt that the
American Beet Sugar company,
which brought them out here, should
see that they are cared for.

Paralysis of Pacifism

The unholy slaughter would
have continued until not a liv-
ing Tartar remained had not
Chinese cavalry come storming
down the slopes. From the hill
tops Chinese artillery opened
fire on the wild tribesmen and
broke them in disorder. In the
aftergloW of the sunset Lake
BalkaSh cleaned redly. In the
water and upon the shore lay
thousands of corpseS.
But next morning, when the
signal was given to resume the
march the survivors drove for
ward again, under the protec-
ton of Chinese infantry, cavalry
and artillery. They came soon
to the River Iii and crossed to
the other side, to China. The
flight of the Tartar Tribes had
ended.
To glorify this flight the great
Emperor Ch'ieng Lung built the
Golden Pavilion whose replica,
constructed by Sven Hedin, will
be seen by millions this summer
in the exposition which so
marvellously typifies the spirit
and courage of the people OF
Chicago.
Chieng Lung was the last of
the great Emperors, the Sons of
Heaven. 1t was after him that
China's decline set in, and that
the long paralysis of pacifisms
which has finally wrecked and
humimliated a once great people,
seized upon the Sons of Han.
In the Golden Pavilion Chieng
Lung welcomed and made love
to the lovely Hsiang-Fei, a Turkl"
stan princess captured in battle
by his general. The Perfumed
One" she was known, and her
picture even today is to be seen
upon Chinese paper money, so
deathless was the fame of her
beauty and her great soul. For
Chieng Lung, who ruled Asia
and considered even King
George Of England as his vas
sal, could not rule the heart OF
the captive princess.

I'm not trying to make you

If you don't want to believe in

Why not?
Why blame those horrors on

Those persons who have been

If it be true that misery
loves company" Mr.. Davis,
mythical American ambassador
at large, may get consolation
from the fact that by blindly
following in his footsteps, an
official American ambassador
also appears to have run amuck.
This mishap occurred at a
dinner given by the Pilgrims
Society in London on Decora-
ton Day. The orator of the
occasion was Mr.. Bingham, new
American ambassador to Eng
land.
Referring to the recent an
nouncement of Ambassador"
Davis at Geneva that Americas
traditional foreign policy of free
dom from European entangle-
ments has been abandoned. Am
basador Bingham declared:
"That marked the definite
departure from certain prin-
cipIes maintained by the United
States since the Nation was
founded"
Ambassador Bingham assumes
what Ambassador Davis" as
sumes-that the American sys-
tenn of government has been
overthroWn and the control of
foreign policy transferred from
the United States Senate to the
Department of State.

The Flight of the Tartars

every waking moment was
agony! The world has never
known a tale like it, and likely
will never know another.
At last from the summit Of
low hills they glimpsed the
sparkling waters of Lake
Balkash. Mad with thirst, at
the sight of the clear water a
dreadful confusion took place.
Thousands waded into the water
up to their knees. Many drank
until they writhed in convul-
sions and drowned where they
fell. While the confusion was
at it's height, the pursuing
Bashkirs and Khirghiz attacked
and threw themselves with wild
yells into the midst of the

Reckless Assumption

Because the Department of
State is busily engaged in
making rash romise
through it's agent at Geneva to
the League conference on arma-
ments, Ambassador Bingham
at London seems to take it for
granted that all these promises
will, in due time, be ratified by
the United States Senate.
This is a reckless assump-
ton for three reasons:
First, because the Senate has
never been consulted about any
of the promises which Mr..
Davis has delivered to the
League and Mr.. Bingham has
repeated to London.
Second, because if it had
been consulted, the Senate
would have advised against the
making of these promises.
Third, because the Senate
will never give it's consent to
the fuIfiIlment of any of these
promises regardless of what Mr..
Davis has said to the League
or Mr.. Bingham has repeated
in London.
The main difference between

Usefulness Impaired

The nomination of Mr.. Bin
ham to be ambassador at Lon
don was recently confirmed by
the Senate. Confirmation was
withheld, however, until he had
denounced as inaccurate re-
ports of a speech he was alleged
to have made several years ago
in favor of cancelling Europe's
war debts.
In the light of the speech
which he has Just made at Lon
don, it is safe to say that if his
nomination were now reSub-
mitted, the Senate would also
refuse to confirm Mr.. Bingham.
Under these circumstances,
the diplomatic usefulness of Mr..
Davis at Geneva and Mr.. Blng-
ham at London would seem 10
be seriously impaired.
They may be the mouthplcce
of the Department of State,
But neither can honestly clam
to be the spokesman of the Gov
ernment and people of the
United States in regard to
American foreign policy.
If the London Pilgrims, and
the League of Nations, and for
eign governments generally
really want to know what the
American people think about
the silly speeches of Mr.. Davis
at Geneva and Mr.. Bingham al
London, Senator Borah can tell
them. In fact he has told them
in these words:
"The policies and principles
of the Founders will be the liv-
ing, accepted and cherished
principles of the American peo-
pie long after those who are
talking about abandoning them
are forgotten utterly"

"Our children shall not be
