Public sentiment is eUery-
thing. With public sentiment,
nothing can fail; Without it,
nothing can Succeed.-Abraham
Lincoln.
But for Public Sentiment,
outraged and outpouring, North,
East, South and West, all for
eign airmail contracts would
have been cancelled a year
ago in the same arbitrary and
indefensibly unjust manner that
all domestic airmail contracts
were cancelled. This cancella-
ton almost wrecked national
American air transport. Can
collation. at that time would
have wrecked international
American air transport.
1t was only because the
American people manifested
their righteous Indignation
against the cancellationistS, af-
ter 10 of the bravest and best
trained American pilots who
ever flew the Colors Of a
great Nation had been sent to
an unnecessary death that the
politicians to blame for this
slaughter and wreckage were
given pause. Having brought
about the cancellation of do
nestle airmail contracts the
air mail wreckers dropped their
wicked scheme to extend this
cancellation to foreign airmail
contracts.
EPOCHAL FLIGHT
The only reason for recalling
these melancholy facts is be-
cause the Inauguration of air
service across the Pacific, with
the pioneer flight of the Pan
American Clipper from Ala
media, California, over Homo
lulu to Pearl Harbor off the
Island of Oahu, Territory Of
Hawaii, marks the beginning Of
new era of the Pacific and
of a new chapter in that con-
quest Of the air Of which,
thanks to American heroiSm,
genius, organization and enter
prise the United States is the
leader throughout the world.
And also because it is we'll
to remember that the Stars and
Stripes would not wave in this
new glory today if the would-be
political wreckers of American
aviation had not been cowed
and confused by the invincible
force of that American public
sentiment which Lincoln rightly
evaluated.
Think of what completion of
this air line across the Pacific
will mean to the American and
to the world when it is CON-
pleted:
Overnight service between the
American mainland and that
military and naval base on the
island of Oahu which makes
the Hawaiian Islands the key
to the defense of the United
States in the Pacific.
Four-day service between San
Francisco and Manila, linking
up the Hawaiian Islands, Mid
way, Wake Island, and Guam

this $4,SSO,OOO,OOO we should
use a part of it at least to
eliminate these crossings.
"That would be a beneficial
work from several standpOints.
"In the first place these
crossings must be eliminated.
The necessity of doing away
with them increases daily. In
stead of waiting 10 or rs years
the work should begin now.
eff we use the works relief
money it will mean that the
funds will be distributed through
out the States in small quaint
ties where it will do the most
good.
Large projects where mil
lions are spent are all right,
but the real way to increase
purchasing power Is to spread
this money out through numer-
GUS areas"
Since the Daughters of the
American Revolution began their
convention in Washington, a
horde OF photographers and re.
porterS haze haunted them.
So it was that the other day
one of the elderly Daughters
demanded to know what paper
a young girl reporter repre-
Sented.
Told the name Of the sheet
she said:
"YOu know the trouble with
these papers is that they come
around and take thousands Of
pictures.
"And then what do they put
in the paper?
"They use pictures Of pretty
young pages.
"They never bother about
the old war horses like me-"

into which you go on examining
this and that.
The mind, in the modern view,
is an organism which, alive and
curious, seeks nutriment and
reaches out if it has a chance.
Knowing who Naevius was does
not necessarily have anything
to do with the capacity to
think, work, or to govern ones
emotions and imagination in a
civilized manner. There are
millions of people who can do
all that and who, therefore, are
educated, but do not know or
care whether Naevius was
monk or a big league ball
player.
Here's a story of what might
be called an intelligence test,
and think its results are lot
more valid than this Princeton
run-around:
We dined at the home of
friends who had been hit hard
by the depression. They have
a nice home and used to have
plenty of servants. Now they
have none. The hostess cooked
and served the dinner. She had
lived in luxury all her life. The
domestic arts she had learned in
the depression years.
Every course in the dinner
came through on the dot. The
whole business was perfectly
timed. Everything was beauti.
fully cooked and served with
out any fuss or confusion. I
asked her how she had man
aged the miracle. The story of
this dinner amazed me with the
technique of preparing edjbleS,
allowing for different periods of
time for cooking, making it all
come through at control
of temperature, balanced ingre-
dents, preservation of flavor,
seasoning, vitaminS, endless de-
tails, down to garnishing a
platter.
REAL KNOWLEDGE
1t seemed to me that there
was a disclosure of intelligence,
adaptability and mental and
manual skill which no word
roundup in the world could ever
measure. Talk to plumber
about wiping a joint, a radio
technician about 4 cats whisker,
a physicist about a photo-elec-
trio cell, an iron puddler about
steel, a stereotyper about dry
mats, an astronomer about sun
spots, a broker about eighths, a
ship captain about a gyroscopic
compass, a small boy about his
stamp collection, an aviator
about tail spinS-or even to One
Eye Connolley about gate crash.

Stones and matted leaves,
Risking the frosty air,

Reaching out. for life!

And now I, too,

In the sheath of selfishness,

I am waking

AS the assistant editor II
Aviation, in a recent issue truly
says:
cit is simply too big a project,
too important in its technical,
its commercial, its sociological
implications to be dwarfed by
any conceivable development
even in this astounding indus
try.
PLANTED unObtrusively in an
Introductory paragraph of one
Of Pan Americas traffic estim-
ates for the project is a phrase
worth rescuing from prospective
oblivion. 1t might well serve
as a motto on the divisions in
sigma. "The Orient" so runs
the phrase, need not be three
weeks away
"And indeed it won't be when
the new division is underway, a
convenient overnight service be-
tween San Francisco and Homo
lulu; a further service from
Honolulu to Manila of fOur-day-
light flights from Honolulu to
Midway, Midway to Wake, Wake

SpectiveIy connections with
Hong Kong or Canton, with
Java, with Japan will put the
teeming markets of Asia within
a week by air from any part Of
the United States, and make Ha-
waii in fact the southwest cor
ner Of the country.
Simply from a postal point of
view, consider the gain to our
commerce from substituting a
twO-weekS mail and reply cycle
for the two months it now takes
for the average letter to reach
China and the answer to re-
turn. America has been offered
no such advantage in the China
trade since the days when our
sailing clippers dominated the
trade routes of the world"
WORLD WONDER
Those puny-minded partisan
politicians who have been at
tempting to deprive the
United States of that world
leadership in commercial avia-
ton which the American peo-
pie now possess, ought to be
shamed into silence, if not into
reform, by the victorious flight
of the Pan American Clipper
from California to Hawaii in
command of Captain Musick,
number one pilot of Pan Amer
lean Always.
It is too much, of course,
to expect that the snakes of
alien intrigue on American
soil will be scotched by this
latest American conquest of
the air. 1t ought to be easier,
however, for the American
people to follow the Shiny trail
of these alien intriguers, now
that all South America and the
United States are united by a
Pan American air service that
is the wonder OF the world and
the pride of the Americas, and
that is soon to be duplicated
in the vast area Of the Pacific.

IT'S easier, far,
To lie within a tomb
Than break the seal
Far pleasanter to dream
The night away
Than brave the day
Rebirth's more painful
Than the cruelest death!
Springtime outside
But have I courage
To break through
The matted leaves of habit?
Dare I fight
The small, sharp stones
OF prejudice-or face
The cold and cutting
Wind of ridicule
Which waits to lash
Each fresh beginning?'
And have I strength
To put my yesterdays
Behind me
With their Stacking tears?
These tests
Are hard to bear
Yet so one pays
For resurrection.
