joying an altitude of 5000 feet above
sea level. this resort is often described
as the cradle Of Winter sports. In
the 1870s the first English guest Win
tered in the Engadine. Shortly after
this skeleton and bob were invented
in st, Moritz, and in the s0s the
first ice rink provided the guests with
amusement and no doubt the inhabi-
tants. Thus st. Moritz developed
year after year.
The white turf of st. Moritz"-the
race course on the frozen lake-has
become, during the last % years. q

In 1859 the first Swiss skis were made
in the Engadine and 10 years later. in
the Winter of 1929, the Corviglia Rail-
way opened up one of the finest down.
hill countries in the Alps for the ski
runner. Today skiing takes the lead
in all Winter sports. Corviglia offers
an unending choice of routes for the
beginner and racing descents for the
expert skier. The slopes above St
Moritz-Suvretta, Campfer and Cele-
rina-afford great variety and can be
traversed in any direction.
A high light of the 1934-35 Winter
season at St. Moritz will be the fourth
university world Winter games. to be
held from February 4 to 10. Twenty
five nations will compete in these
games OF the Confederation Interna-
tionale des Etudiants, under the or
ganization of the Swiss Students Up-
ion. The Swiss University Ski Club
is organizing the traditional interna-
tional university ski races to take place
at the same time. These have been
held II times in all and are, for the
third occasion. to be raced over st.
MoritZ course.
The world championship for four
scatter bobs will be another outstand-
ing event on February IA and IS and
the famous international horse races

and American admiralties endeavored
to force upon us.
But henceforward our contingent
of battleships, regulated by the WASH
ington treaty, Is obviously inadequate.
The Anglo theory is that
battleships are the backbone of fleet.
The French navy has not enough
backbone for its present structure.
The recent decision of the Italian gov
ernment to lay down the keels of two
35,000-ton battleships has clearly
demonstrated this. Under the treaty
France, as far as battleshipS are con-
cerned, now is not entitled to build
more than 100000 tons. She is al
ready using $4,000 tons in the con-
struction of two units of 26,50O tons
each, which were designated to DOM
mate the so-called German pocket
battleships."
Balance UnusabIe.
Therefore France can build only one
35 5.000-ton ship to meet the Italian
program. and is left with balance of
$4,000 tons which she cannot turn to
allied because in 1881 she chose to
construct units of moderate size and,
lest she should aggravate the anna
ments' race, abandoned the $4,000
ton maximum, showing thus that she
restricted her strategical considera-
tions to the narrow seas of Europe and
could not regard England and America
as potential enemies. In the judg-
ment of Frenchmen, the treaty of
Washington cannot stand that test.
France will always strive for the
limitation of naval ornaments, but
she insists that 1t can be achieved only
through the previous elimination of
the political differences which have
estranged the maritime powers from
each other and, at any rate, that the
formulas most likely to be agreed upon
are Of the qualitative kind.
Whenever the naval conference
meets, such will be the views ex-
pressed on Frances behalf

is the wider range of choice, not only
in destination, but in mode of travel.
One of the first steps in the inter-
view is TO determine whether the
patron has decided where he wants to
go. If not, there is the whole world
to choose from, and the time and
available for the trip then
narrow the choice. Perhaps they have
preferences regarding

out, for the agencies usually have
affiliations with practically all steam
ship and railroad companies and can
send the traveller over any route by
land or sea. Does the traveller enjoy
lakes, foreign capitals. or
strange, out-of- -the-way places? When
