Senator HarrisOn's prophecy that
there would be mo new taxes" voted
in the new Congress was so timely
when he said it after election that
the Mississippi statesman will have
the opportunity to be convinced and
change his mind by the time the
Congressional grist gets into the
grinding processes. There was also
a political prophecy that there would
be a balanced budget the present
year. but even the Administration
with all of its optimistic inclinatiOns
couldn't swallow that piece of po-
litical balOney.

of that luckless city. Foreign SYM
pathizers - Americans, Englishmen,
Frenchmen, and so on-had sent in
a vast collection of toys, the toys
were stacked on the floor of a big
public hall, and the children were
ushered in and told to help them
selves.
Naturally the children had fine
time, and they descended on that
big pile of toys like locustS descend
ing on green alfalfa field. But
when they got all through-When
every child had taken to his bos-
ON all the toys he could lay hands
on-there remained, in the center
of the room. one pile of toys that
no child had touched.
They were toy airplanes. Not one
child had taken one; not one could
be persuaded to want one.
You see, Madrid had been under
aerial bombardment for many
weeks These children knew what
airplanes could do; knew how they
could drop death and destruction
out OF the skies, making school
rooms and streets and Fairgrounds
and homes horribly unsafe. They
had seen their playmates killed by
bombs dropped from the air, they
had seen schools and homc 6
wrecked; many of them had seen
their own parents killed.
Is it any wonder that those chill
dren didn't look. on airplanes as
suitable toys?

This is the one thing that is be-
ing omitted from the aeronautical
education of cur own youngsters.
Our children know that airplanes
are things of great beauty and
grace; they know how they are
made; they have a smattering of
Heronautical theory. The one thing
they don't understand is the way
these triumphs of human daring
and ingenuity can. by human stu
pidity and cruelty, be used to turn
the fair earth into hell
And they won't be fully equipped
to live in the airplane age until
they do understand that.
