From Politician to Legend

the native state of Rajkot his transformation from
a practical politician to a legendary figure is APP

The autocratic government of Thakore Saheb,
ruler of Rajkot has long disturbed the mahatma.
failed Negotiations for reform were under way. A
commission was appointed but the personnel did not
meet with Gandhis approval. When the ruler re-
jected the little leaders utimatum the fast COM

the Marques of Linlithgow have been sent from
all parts of India. The people genuinely alarmed
that this ordeal may be fatal to the man whose

political weapons of the time.
Gandhis methods of peaceful submission how
ever, do not carry the weight that they did.
The Indian Congress party which he built has passed
from his control. Only few days ago he quit the
party which for years was the practical instrument
of his political philosophy. Subhas Chandler Bose,
Bengal leader was reelected to the presidency OF
Congress over Gandhi's objections. With the mahat-

AIR FERRY TO EUROPE

Twenty years ago this coming May the first
successful flights across the Atlantic were made.
This spring will see the beginning of regular mail
and passenger service between the United States
and Europe by plane The gigantic Boeing trans
port the Yankee Clipper, which Mrs. Roosevelt
chrstened last week at Washington will be the flag
ship of this service 1t means that air transporta-
ton over one of the most difficult routes in the
world is no longer stunt or experiment but becomes
part of the routine transportation facilities of the
nations.
And it is Pan American Always which has done
it again This greatest of air transportation enter
prises whose routes flick from southernmost South
America to our own Alaska, and across the Pacific
to China, now reaches out eastward to the Old
World.
The Yankee Clipper, with its 152-foot wing
spread crew of fifteen and capacity for IA passen-
gers bears about the relation to the one
engine ships in which Harry c. Hawker and Capt.
John Alcock dared the North Atlantic in May 1919,
or even to Col Lindberghs Spirit of St Louis. as
the Queen Mary does to the early steamships of the
ls4os She could likewise swallow the three United
States Navy seaplanes which we're flown to Europe
by way OF the Azores under the leadership of Com
mander Albert C. Read also in May 1919.
To a layman it seems bit odd that regular
air service came earlier to the Pacific and to the
South Atlantic than on the busy ferry route be-
tween New York and northern Europe. The answer
lies in the greater difficulties Of navigation the
North Atlantic, well the fact that existing
service by express steamers is faster than on the
other oceans.
But the new clippers will make even the Queen
Mary and Normandie look like snails, for the ten
tative schedule calls for "a to 80 hours for the New
York London journey, with two and one-half round
trips a week when the full service is attained.
Lindbergh and Hawker were called madmen and
flying fools. But few years pass and a flight tc
London or Paris becomes simple matter of consult
ing a timetable.
