The Travellers Notebook
In Which a Widely Travelled Guest Writes
70 Say That Europe Remains a
Leading Vacation Attraction

to Europe and had the holiday they
expected to have.
According to the United States
Passport Bureau. every third appli-
cant for passport is a repeater"
who seeks the renewal of a pass
port previously issued. These are
the globe trotters who are the back
bone of the great trans Atlantic
tourist business. No greenhorns,
these much-traveled men and wom-
en-. They know Europe from Ireland
to Poland, west and east, from Fin
land and Greece, north and south
They can tell you not only where
to go and what to see, but they
even have their special walters at
the hotels and restaurants that they
annually frequent. There are travel
erS who seem to cross Just as much
/ to see some waiter or chef as to
please themselves. Europe is very
much an old home to them.
Among the facts which seem to
have weight with this summer S
prospective trans Atlantic voyagers,
Is the vast increase in the number
OF passengers coming from Europe
to America this summer We all
realize that they are coming to see
our great fairs in New York and
Evening star., 1939-06-11

San Francisco, but what our own
tourists point out is that If these
Europeans can come across the
water to see our country, we can
cross to see their countries. They
have left home, children, business
and property in the firm belief that
these precious things will be quite
safe while they are away, and such
security necessarily has influence on
those who wish to 60 to Europe for
their vacations.
American tourists who have booked
for summers holiday in Europe
point out that not only are ship
loads of ordinary European citizens
landing to see our fairs, but their
political leaders and members of
their royal families have come or
are en- route to see us. If real trouble
were brewing in Europe, it is pointed
out, such important personages
would not venture away from their
homelands.
In harmony with this confidence
it is now reported that Lloyds in
London is insuring "a to l that
there will be no general war in
1899, and such cold calculations
have undoubtedly done much of
recent weeks to turn the footsteps
of hesitating vacationists towards
the Offices of their local steamship
agents to book on their favorite
liner.
In some of the smaller commune
ties of the country, the whole trend
OF trans Atlantic travel is set by
one or two old-timers who have
been to Europe 20 and 80 times.
When these men and women decide
that it will be a good thing to be
in Europe, the movement begins.
Ask the man who has been there,
IS advice that sells tickets for
Europe quite as much as other
commodities.
Equally influential are the letters
now being received from the more
than $4,000 who have already left
for Europe. They are on the ground,
and what they write of the good
times over there has considerable
weight with those who plan to
leave before July is out.
Another factor which some pros
pective travellers are pointing out
Is that all countries are going ahead
with their plans to entertain visitors
from America. The great events of
the summer, national pageants,
great sporting fixtures, races, ex-
hibitions, old world ceremonies and
all the attractions that tourists
love, are all scheduled to occur.
Nothing has been cancelled or
threatened. Germany, Italy, Great
Britain, Poland, the Scandinavian
countries, France, Spain and Swift
zerland all expect us, and, as in
dicated above, the passengers of
over $50 liners sailing before July
Is, say they will not disappoint the
good friends over there, because
there is no substitute for a holiday
across the sea.
An attraction for every mood,
Whim, or lifelong desire seems to
be the program which Europe has

There is no substitute for a sum-
mer's vacation in Europe. That
seems to be the conclusion which
thousands of Americans and Cana
dians have arrived at, after careful
consideration. more careful con-
sideration than in other years, of
all the changes which Europe has
made on the map since last summer.
More thai $4,000 holiday makers
have already sailed, and the great
transatlantic steamship lines re-
port many thousands more booked
or booking for departure between
now and the middle of July. To
meet this demand for passage, a
survey recently made of the plans
of each steamship line discloses,
over a $50 sailings of their liners
will be made from Atlantic ports
to Europe before July IS
A large part of this movement of
Americans and Canadians to Europe
is composed of passengers who go
across almost every year. You can
not scare them with mere rumors
Of possible war. They have heard
of such romor almost annually for
the last 10 years, yet they have gone
