The Old Helps the New

1t is interesting to how very old and very new methods
OF ocean travel joining hands in PanAmercan Always
venture in the Pacific.
Pan-American has recondtioned an old four-nasted
schooner to carry supplies to various island bases Although
equipped with auxiliary Diesel engines this ship depends on
the wind for most of her motive power officers thus bark
back to old clipper ship days. when ship captain spent much
OF his time studying air trying to forecast
the weather on which the speed of his voyage depended
Which, in way is precisely what the pilots Of Pan-Aner
leans planes have to do Like the omes they have to watch
the weather far closely than do steamship sppers and
somehow fitting that PanAmercan should be using an
oIdme wndammer, which follows the same rules as an
auxiliary surface ship.

Everywhere the Same

Data compiled by the National Industrial Conference
board show that world industrial production dropped sharply
in November for the second consecutive month and that
employment and distress have followed Is matter Of course
In England which in recent years has been doing WELL
totaled 10000.
World trade for September less than half Of the gold
value of the 1929 but PIG cent above the preceding
September and 14 per cent above last January Preliminary
despite the fact that falling commodity prices have cut the
chasing power Of countries producing materials parc
ary the nations South America Sugar. rubber copper and
tin have led this decline.
The fact that industrial production drops the same time
world trade would seem to indicate that there are
commercial dams existing within all nations which keep the
people from taking advantage Of the capacity produce
Finding those dams and breaking them would seem to be
