RE.ROUTING CLIPPER MAIL

CREAT BRITAIN'S interruption OF foreign
bound mails from the United States,
while they are searched for contraband, has
caused more friction between Washington
and London than anything in a decade. IN
the fear that individuals in this country may
be offering aid to the enemy, under American
postage, the British authorities have searcneo
mails borne by Clipper airships at Bermuoa
as we'll as steamer mails in European ports,
with great loss of time to the correspondents
and probably heavy financial losses as WE'LL
The British defense is that, being at war
she is justified in taking any measure deemed
advisable to prevent assistance OF any sort
reaching the reich. Her blockade OF Germany
cannot become wholly effective, she contends
unless she acquires and maintains complete
mastery of the seas, at whatever cost 10
others.
She is quite sincere in her view. There IS
no reason to believe Britain would voluntar'
lily do anything to place her friendly rela'
lions with the United States in jeopardy.
England's dependence on this country is TOO
imnortant to risk a breach. But in interfering

strain on that friendship; so great a strain,
in fact, that the senate engaged in hot debate
on the proposal by Senator CLARK to amend
the postofficetreasury appropriation bill to
withhold subsidies for transatlantic flights
touching Bermuda, and voted the amendment
down in the interest of the aforesaid friend
illness only after warm words had passed
on the floor.
It was during this debate that Senator ROB-
ERr R.. REYNOLDS proposed to cut out the
Bermuda stop altogether, and have the Clip
ner ships fly direct to the Azores, where
they would escape delay and search. His idea
is to establish a base at Wilmington for
oceanic air mail flights, and send air trans
mort directly across the Atlantic without pause
in British territory. Senator MEAD OF New
York supported him on the ground that Will
mingtou, no less than Charleston, is nearer
the Azores than either New York or Balti-
more.
The immediate reaction here to his propos-
al is all that could be hoped for. Officially,
it is to be followed up by such pressure as
can be brought to bear for its acceptance. AS
it is perfectly calculated to stir the blood OF
every Wilmingtonian whose interest in the
advancement is of the positive type, 1t
is needless to urge individual cooperation
bring the mail Clippers here.

ALL FUSED UP

President RoosEvELT's silence on his des-
~tination has appealed SO strongly to the mag
~ination of reporters that they vision him
headed for conferences at sea with emissarles
from foreign powers to ponder in unison the
basis for a peace. They concede it possible he
is merely going fishing, as he often does
when in need of a rest, but find the possibili-
ties so great for the larger purpose they
cannot relinquish the theory there is more in
his voyage than appears on the surface.
All that is known is that the President is
on the cruiser Tuscaloosa, which he boarded
at Pensacola, and headed into the Gulf of
Mexico for ten days or two weeks, during
which time he will be beyond the heckling of
reporters and, if so disposed, within casting
distance Of a great variety Of fish. IT the
fish should turn out 10 be twolegged ones
with brief cases in hand, that is his business.
1t is not impossible that Mr.. ROOSEVELT
has arranged a rendezvous at sea with repre-
sentatives of other nations to survey with
them the international situation, SO fraught
with troubles just now. If he has, it is obvious
that the discussions will be more effective
if conducted in secret than in the glare of
public knowledge. With hearty sympathy for
the men of the press who must bring their
story back alive, it appears that the better
course it to let the chief executive alone un-
pose of his cruise, and it's results, whether
in the form of a new formula for peace or a
string of sail fish and marlin.

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
THAT LITTLE LOG HUT
New York Herald Tribune

A newly published book on "The Log Cabin
Myth" by the late Harold r. Shurtleff, a dis
tinguished architect who turned historian,
proves very satisfactorily that the log house
was not a feature Of the British, Dutch or
French colonial scene in this country, that
the idea came here with the Swedes and Firms
who settled on the lower Delaware, and that
no one ever talked about 'log cabins" before
1910, although by that time no pioneer who
carved a farmstead out of the wilderness
thought Of building anything else. No conceiv-
able style of building met SO many of the
pioneers needs. The material was at hand and
had to be got rid of somehow. For no type of
construction were so few tools needed. At a
pinch it could be done with an ak only, and
anything but a stone house. Once built, it was
practically indestructible and, unless taken by
surprise and fired, it was as effective a fort
against raiding Indians as even professional
soldiers cared for in those days.
Finally, If there were enough neighbors to
help, the logs could be dressed in one day;
and the next day the logs were pushed up the
skids, notched by the four corner men, and
rolled into place as fast as a gang will load
lumber on a railroad garland all at no cost
but an ample provision of food and such liquid
refreshment as the district provided. Many
big, roomy Pennsylvania farm houses, now
disguised by Notwithstanding outside and plas-
ter inside, were built two centuries ago, with
III a few days after the foundations were fin
ished, and are as sound and tight today as
they ever were. These being some of the ad-
vantages of the well built log houses, it seems
strange that none Of the forest-dwelling In

dams ever thought of such construction ana
that the New England, or Virginian, or Caro-
linian colonists had not the ingenuity TO invent
such q structure. but waited to be shown Its
good points nv migrating pupils Of the Swedes
and Firms.
And how did these ensemble people hit upon
ANYTHING SO satisfactory to the pioneer? They
lived in log houses in their home lands, OF
course, as they still do. But, farther back tnan
that, the Firms, who had come into Sweden as
lumberjacks, probably imported the log house
into Scandinavia from Asia, as they old the
effective use of the bow; and 1t may have
come from as far east as Outer Mongolia and
adjacent parts of Siberia, where the Mongol
and Turkish speaking forest folk seem to have
lived in log houses from the beginning OF time
and are everywhere as expert at erecting log
buildings with no tool but an ak as any Ameri-
can community in the Ohio Valley ever be-
came. 1t is amazing to discover, when one
starts to run down the origin of widespread
institutions, how few bright ideas have been
spontaneously generated in more than one cor
ner of the world; but it is just as astonishing
how far a bright idea, once generated, will
travel to meet similar needs. What Missouri
pioneer of a century back who was learning
from his neighbors how to make a house grow
by pushing logs up skids with forked sticks
could have imagined that somewhere in a ST.
berian clearing a gathering Of Buriat Mongols

that he had invented a superior kind of dwell

THE TRADE AGREEMENTS

Concerning Republican opposition in con.
gress to the HULL reciprocal trade agree
ments, the Ne11 York Times says that the
stand for tariff barriers, which that party
would raise higher, eff not, indeed, make
prohibitive." will not hold water because
further restriction of foreign imports volume
would mean American consumers would have
to pay more for some of the things they need
and American manufacturers more for some
of their raw materials, with resultant in.
crease in the expense Of doing business and
restrictions on markets for their products be-
cause Of higher prices. The Times sums up
its stand for the treaties by saying:
Since imports are ultimately the only
means that the outside world has of pay
ing for American goods (barring a certain
amount of more unneeded and unwanted
gold), we are bound to cut down our e-
ports to the same extent as we cut down
our imports. The result can only be to
injure our farmers and manufacturers and
to create internal disequilibrium.
Without detailing its reasons to support the
agreements, the Washington Star says: The
evidence is becoming increasingly clear that
no tenable argument can be made against
them. WALTER LIPPMAN, columnist of the
New York Herald Tribune, a republican news
paper, thinks that during present wars no
new trade treaties may be negotiated but
that to discontinue those in existence or halt
preparatory efforts to increase their number
would be unwise. His summation is:
I believe that continual negotiation with
foreign nations over details is the only way
to develop the knowledge Of what to do
when the war ends. I would go even fur
Their. and say that by continuing to nego-
tate there will emerge out of the specific
studies of trade movements, foreign e-
change, gold, and the like, shadow agree
ments for the Generalization and the post
war reconstruction.
Says the Boston Transcript, which is the
mouthpiece of Back Bay republicanism in
most matters: while we strongly favor
many basic precepts of the republican party,
we are firmly convinced that it will be ill ad.
vised if it goes before the American people.
with the proposition that tariff control should
be restored to congress, where it would be
subject to the log rolling and alliances of
special interests and sectional pressures."
These few excerpts are offered as a fair
cross-section Of opinion on the agreements.
More might be added, but could give no ad.
ditional weight to the proposition that our
international trade has been benefited by the
HULL program and that to suspend it now
would be economic folly.

SOUTH THIRD r E

Dear Sir:
I have noted with much interest
your editorial under date of Feb
ruary - with reference to South
Third street, and have also noted
several letters since, commenting
(unfavorably) on this.
Frankly I cannot see any room
for criticism of your editorial. INC
if I can interpret the English Ian
guage at all, you take a very broad
and sensible view of the situation.
No one, of course, wants or intends
to profit at the expense of another,
or to unnecessarily mar the beauty
Of our city, but surely times have
changed. We are not living in the
horse and buggy da.s any longer,
and if Wilmington hopes to go for
ward along with other cities it must
get away from the staid old way Of
following in the old rut, and being
satisfied with what we have. 1t is
very regretable to note that this
has been the case in Wilmington.
Just start something progressive
: Re and see what happens.
When I came to Wilmington in
1915 it was the largest city in the
state. Where is it now? There can
be but one answer, and you know
that answer.
No one loves and admires stately
trees more than I do, or values them
more, but there are cases when they
have to be sacrificed. Wilmington
cannot continue to live under trees,
and keep pace with the trend Of
times. I dare say that all plazas in
Wilmington with exception of Mar.
ket street perhaps) are much wider
than necessary. Take South Third
street, the one now in question. You
have a plaza there wide enough for
an ordinary street, with a narrow
lane on either side. Just observe and
see how much space you have to
spare in passing a parked car on
this street. 1t Is absolutely dan.
gerous, out of date, and no progress.
sive city would stand for it one min
ute.
Wilmington, why not get together
ole time, on one thing, and pull to-
gether and go forward.
