Shooting Stors
Beyond the Skyline.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,

Beyond the Skyline.
Just out yonder," the youth declares,
Il have seen where the earth and the
heavens meet.
Tis long, slight line, and the one who
dares
May cross it with confidence complete.
And some day I'll build a swift-winged
boat
And III speed to the land of the golden
glow,
Where the twilight landscapes shine and
float
And comfort the dreamer here below"
" 'Tis not far distant. the man cries out
"The time when peace shall maintain
its sway
In this world that struggles mid storm
and doubt
The journey is such little way!
We will swiftly speed on the wings of
thought
To the glories opened before our view!"
And the man forgot as he smiled and
wrought
The hope Of his youth that had ne'er
come true.

Air Safety

Major domestic air transport lines
now are completing a winter of flying
operations marked by continuously
increasing traffic without a single ia
tai accident. 1t is pleasing to note
that Pennsylvania Central Airlines,
operating out of Washington to Mil
waukee and to Buffalo, now is COM
pleting its twelfth year of operations
without fatality, believed to be a
world record.
Winter airline operations, formerly
attended by difficulties, have lost
their terrors as result of increasing
efficiency of airline weather service,
radio range beacon service, instru-
ment flight training of air transport
crews, and the development of carbu-
rotor heaters, de-icing devices for
wings and propellers, and anti-static
radio antennae.
Coupled with corresponding i'm
provements in operating procedure as
a result of the joint efforts of the air
lines and of the new Civil Aeronautics
Authority, these advances are re-
f1ected in the best winter safety rec
ord in air transport history.
The Nations four major air trans
port lines and the minor systems,
with a single exception, have oper-
ated through December, January and
February without fatal accident.
The only fatal accident on any do
mestic airline since December l was
that of January 13 in Montana, in
volving a Northwest Airlines air
plane, which crashed with the loss of
four lives.
Pennsylvania Central Airlines, with
Its eastern terminus in Washington,
is especially deserving of local COM
mendation. Not only has it contin-
ued its perfect safety record for more
than a decade, but for the eighth
consecutive month it has reported a
SUBSTANTIAL increase IN passenger
traffic, amounting to 57.67 per cent
during February, as compared with
the same month a year ago.
BY way of recognition, Pennsyl-
vania-Central, having received a GER
tificate of commendation from the
National Safety Council for two con-
secutive years, has just been nomi-
mated for its third award.
In these days, when aviation is in
the spotlight of world attention, and
when civil aviation is universally rec
ognized as bulwark of air defense,
this splendid domestic air transport
record should be a source of pride
and qualification to all Americans.

BEYOND PATRIOTISM
By the Right Rev James Freeman, D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop of WASHINGTON.

On the eve of her execution Edith
Cavell wrote the following standing on
the brink of eternity, have come to
realize that patriotism is not enough"
These brave words give evidence of the
high ideals of this noble woman who
counted not her life dear unto herself"
They are in consonance with another
memorable sentence that came from Lord
Miner of England, where he said: mo
longer does the thought of empire arouse
me to shout Rule Brittania' rr wave a
flag; rather does it make me to 60 into
corner and get down on my knees in
prayer"
In both instances these loyal patriots
came at length to find that patriotism
love of country-Was not enough. If love
of country was to be sustained and made
active it must find its inspiration in the
recognition of the fact that spiritual
values are above material values, and
reverent recognition of the indispensable
place God occupies in the affairs of men.
President Wilson had this in mind when
he wrote: I'VE cannot survive materially
unless we be redeemed spiritually"
In the 58th chapter of Isaiah there is
an eloquent appeal to people to reDg-
nize those elemental values that secure
to nation its happiness, prosperity and
peace. 1t is challenge to the people to
mend their ways, and it sets forth as an
ideal nation that did righteousness
and forsook not the ordinance of their
God" 1t maintains that patriotism con-
sists Of something other than exaltation
Of the state, that beyond patriotism is
the recognition of the will and purpose
of God.
This fundamental ideal is being widely
challenged today and it is compelling
those who hold the Christian faith to
give finer demonstration of their con-
victions and fuller expression of their
allegiance to Him whose life and teach
1ngs constitute the high ideals of Chris
tlan civilization. The emphasis today
upon the supremacy of the state and the
subordination of the individual to the
states supreme will is the antithesis of
what we Of America hold as the priceless
Evening star., 1939-03-12

gift OF freedom. When the people of a
given state or nation become the chattels
OF an autocratic government, when every
concern and interest of life, even to life
itself, is arbitrarily directed and con-
trolled by the will Of one man, situation
IS created that is unendurable.
The situation becomes more acute and
repellent where freedom of worship is
inhibited and the state takes the place of
God. According to our ideals as a peo-
pie, democracy and religion are insep-
arabic. A consistently observed religious
faith and practice makes patriotism vital
and real. Take away moral and spiritual
Ideals and the sanctions of religion and
CIVIC virtue ceases to be- This is what
PRESIDENT Coolidge had in mind when he
said: THE government of people never
gets ahead Of the religion of the people"
A Russian writer has recently said that
There is at the bottom of modern his
tory mans break with the depths of his
own soul" There can be no consistent
fellowship between men and nations, no
security for peace and the orderly ways
OF LIE where patriotism is made a fetish
and the supreme authority of life is the
state. Behind and beyond patriotism, if
1t Is OF the right sort, resides an unfail-
Ing and obedient recognition of God in
all the concerns of life Religion is not
luxury to be indulged in when con-
Venlence or freedom from other occu-
patlons ceases, it is a vital and indis-
pensable element that makes possible the
orderly and peaceful ways of commune
ties, states and nations Greater than a
police force or military strength is the
moral character of a people. A police
force is designed to maintain order and
TO protect good people from bad people,
ana 1t Is an impotent force of and by
itself. The daily conduct of orderly liv-
ing is made possible not because we
nave laws and courts to interpret them,
but because beyond patriotism the great
body OF our people are governed in all
their relations by a religious faith and
practice that is higher than legal enact
ments, stronger than the restraining in
Huence OF constabulary. Let this be
forgotten and cease to be operative, and
dlsorder and chaos ensue.

Prince Georges Gambling

Seeking to end the notoriety Prince
Georges County has received as a
gamblers paradise, the county's
legislators have Joined Montgomery
lawmakers in a move to suppress
gambling in Washington's two neigh
boring Maryland counties. Legisla-
ton to that end is we'll on its way
toward enactment at Annapolis and,
If finally passed, will eliminate long
standing police alibi-that officers
are unable to obtain evidence against
the gamblers.
Modelled after the District of
Columbia law making possession of
numbers slips and other gambling
devices prima-facie evidence of guilt,
the Maryland measure was intro
duced by the Montgomery delegation
soon after it was informed gamblers
driven from Washington were op-
Grating in that county.
The promptness with which Mont
gomery acted was in marked con-
trast to the long standing apathy
OF Prince Georges toward organized
gambling. With the Prince Georges
county commissioners, the States
attorney and many civic groups
clamoring for action, however, one of
the county's Delegates seized the op-
portunity afforded by the Mont
gomery bill. He amended it to apply
to Prince Georges, where, in the pub
lie mind at least, it was needed even
more than in Montgomery. Now that
the measure is before the Assembly
it will serve the useful purpose of
placing possible opponents on record.
Prince Georges officials deserve
commendation for presenting the
legislation. Reports from the county
are that the gambling fraternity,
looking upon the move as sincere
attempt at reform, already is sus-
pending operations. In that connec-
ton, however, there is strong sus-
picion that the suspension of opera
tions was decided on as temporary
device to make the proposed legisla-
ton seem unnecessary. Passage of
the amended law will be the best pos
sible guarantee that organized gam
bling will get out and stay out OF
the counties.

Three Peace Plans

At this stage of the revived peace
negotiations between representatives
of the American Federation of Labor
and the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations there have been sub
mitted for consideration what are,
in effect, three plans for achieving
unification in the labor movement.
If these proposals, embodying the
views of those closest to the labor
controversy, are considered candidly
and dispassionately by the negotiators
it should be found that, together,
they offer basis of compromise set
tlement.
These three plans represent the
proposals submitted by the c. I. O.,
the proposition of the A. F. of L., and
the suggestions made by Alexander F.
Whitney, president of the inde-
pendent Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen.
The plan of the c. I. o. would
merge that organization, the A. F.
of L. and the independent railroad
unions into an American Congress
of Labor, with President Green and
Secretary Morrison of the A. F. of L.,
retired on life pensions, and with
Mr.. Green and John L. Lewis, C. I. o.
leader, barred from holding office in
the new organization.
Taking the position that no plan
is conceivable which, in effect. would
dissolve the A. F. of L., in view OF its
long and praiseworthy record in pro-
noting labors welfare, the Fedora
tion has suggested that jurisdictional
disputes be settled and that the C. I.
o. unions then be taken back into
the parent organization. This con-
trasts with the desire of the C. I. O.
first to effect the unification and then
settle jurisdictional issues with the
cooperation of the Department of
Labor.
Mr.. Whitney, preferring that the
railroad brotherhoods cooperate
rather than merge with the C. I. O.
and A. F. of L., proposed what he
called a workable plan," recon-
mending Cd return of the entire
c. I. o. membership to the A. F. of L.,
and, CD settlement of overlapping
jurisdictional claims "over period of
time" by vote "of the rank and file
themselves under the National Labor
Relations Act" He would leave choice
of leadership to action at the next
convention.
From an examination Of these plans
which must be considered together
as constituting only the basis for
negotiations-it is apparent that the
old issue of whether jurisdictional
disputes should be settled before or
after reunion still remains the

Practical Pun-Americonism

The Presidents remarks on the
commercial agreements reached with
Brazil indicate that this country is
ready to buy" -Americanism on
q large scale. The New Deals fire.
quent good words about good neigh
borllneSs," democratic idealism and
the unity of Western Hemisphere in
terests were not enough to insure the
continental solidarity the admin
1stratlon was after. The totalitarian
threat against Latin America through
trade and cultural penetration grew
instead of lessened. The nations to
the south wanted money, not
speeches, from us to assist them in
resisting the totalitarian blandish-
ments.
The agreements are expected to
serve to turn Brazil's economic allie
glance from Germany to the United
States. The relatively small loan
which this country is advancing,
about $l20,0OO,O00, is expected to
serve as liberator of Brazilian for
eign exchange from the strangle-
hold which the German blocked
mark barter system has on it and to
tie the Brazilian milreis to the Amer
ican dollar through a proposed gold
loan of $50,000,0OO, part of the total
advance, for the establishment of a
central reserve bank.

FLIGHT Into Utopia

Three years ago there was attrib-
uted to President Roosevelt-credited
by the perpetrator of the story with
a desire to essay some dramatic move
on behalf of world peace-a plan to
assemble at Washington round
table under his Craftsmanship the
Prime Ministers of Great Britain,
France and Japan and the dictators
of Germany, Italy and Russia. The
project was never formally diSavowed
at the White House, but passed auto
matically into the limbo of the for
gotten. Most authorities found it
chimerical from the start, because of
the generally assumed unWillingness
of either Hitler or MuSSolini to fore
gather under the same umbrella with
Josef Stain on world appeasement or
any other subject.
There appears to be nothing new
under the sun. In public address
at London Friday night British Home
Minister Sir Samuel Hoare launched
a proposal that has more than
casual resemblance to the plan
ascribed to President Roosevelt
Five men in Europe-three dictators
and the Prime Ministers of England
and France" Sir Samuel suggests,
IF they worked with singleness of
purpose and unity of action, might
in an incredibly short space of time
transform the whole history of the
world"
His majesty's home secretary has
already worked out the agenda for
his fanciful five-man peace confer
ence-"to free the peoples of Europe
from nightmare that hauntS them
and from an expenditure upon arma-
ments that beggars them" Sir Sam
uel would not exclude this country
from his meeting of minds His Big
Five, working together in Europe
and blessed in their efforts by the
President of the United States, might
make themselves eternal benefactors
of the human race"
1t is an inspiring thought and a
stimulating prospect that the most
effective speechmaker in the Cham
berlain cabinet launches for a jittery
worlds cogitation. It's palpable weak
ness lies in the premise upon which
the program is based. Sir Samuel
frankly states his 'if''-pointing out
that the plans practicability depends
upon the singleness Of purpose and
unity Of action" which would have
to inspire Messrs. Chamberlain, Dala-
dier, Hitler, Mussolini and Stain.
Most postwar international confer
ences, notably those concerned with
armaments, and including those, like
the London conference of 1888, which
dealt with economic and monetary
matters, were doomed to failure be-
cause of the impossibility of arriving
at any advance agreement on objec-
tlves and means of attaining them.
The Ides of March, to date, have
not produced the crisis which certain
pessimistic soothsayers have been so
circumStantially predicting, but no
informed person is prepared to be-
lieve that the totalitarians have
abandoned aggression as an instru-
ment of national policy. Nor has any
of the relationships gone beyond
plous platitudes on the subject of
disarmament, pending the realiza-
ton of natural aspirations" such,
for instance, as Italian demands for
Tunisia, Corsica and Djibouti.

Now that we are in the year 1899
Representative Bloom can think up
and put over some sort of sesquicen-
tenial as long as he may live. And
most of us say, Long life and more
power to him." There is not the
slightest doubt that these interest
ing occasions make for increased
national consciousness, patriotism
and pride.

In 1889 the total appropriated for
all governmental expenses, excluding
