AMERICAN TRAVEL
BOOM|NPROSPECT
u. S. Resorts to Substitute
for Those Who Fear
Europe's Crises.

NEW YORK, April 16 (NANA).-
European war or no, Americans are 60
ing to travel. and II the picture abroad
is too dark for some. 1t Is natural to
expect this summer the ascending Of
the slogan, See America First"
Tourists spent approximately S.
600 100000 last year to see America
This year, because Of the upheavals in
Europe and in spite Of the business re-
cession. they are expected to spend
more. Exactly how much more can
not as yet, even be guessed at. But
there is a basis for reasoning.
Alternatives Offered.
The question OF how many hundreds
Of millions Of dollars will shower down
this year on proprietors OF American
hotels, gss stations, trailer camps and
bar-be-q stands is still very much up
in the air. Domestic travel is one
answer for the travel prospect who
rules out Europe for 1898 There are
other answers For instance, some
steamship agencies are concentrating
on cruises to South America, Central
America and the West Indies. They
report. however, that a greatly in
creased number OF those who want a
ship in their travel picture are going
to California by boat.
J. r. Anderson, supervisor OF the
New York Office of the United States
Tourist Bureau, a recently created
agency OF the Department OF the In
terror, says that what American tour
lists want most OF all, Judging from
the letters he receives from all over
the country, is recreational facilities.
He includes in this such diverse items
as sports and scenery.
Amazing Differences in U. S.
Europe" he says, builds its tourist
appeal on the basis Of its foreigners.
Well, We have that here just as much
as Europe Virginia differs as radi-
cally from New England In atmosphere
as Yugoslavia does from France. You
go into Ell Paso, Tex, and into Fort
Worth, Tex. and you are In two
hugely different cities in the same
