By HUGH S. JOHNSON

THERE is considerable discus
sion in Washington as to
whether government should SUBJ
sidiZe another air transport line
between New York and Lisbon
TO compete with the Pan-Amer-
lean clippers over exactly the
same route.
In this argument there is
little criticism of the marvellous
pioneering work of Pan-Amer-
lean of planning and putting
into execution this transatlantic
service which, due to the war,
has become a main reliance for
our traffic with Europe, both for
mail and important government
officials and civilians.
1t is the best similar service
in the world and plans for three
more sailings a week, six In all.
have been made and financed by
the company and approved by
the government.
No, the argument is neither
bad service, high rates nor lack
of full cooperation with the
government. 1t is the word OF
evil omen in all American legis-
lative deliberation, like the word
''unclean" in a country where
THERE'S iePfesy- The-meFd-is
monopoly. >
THERE is only one air service
L operating ween New
York and Lisbon. The argument
is that governmental much
greater cost to itself for mail
service. should subsidize a much
less frequent and initially GER
tainly less efficient service in
order that-there should be
competition enEthiS route
1t is the story of the railroads
over again. Any kind of public
service. such as transportation.
has some elements of public
helplessness - some aspect of
monopoly
In dealing with early high
handed railroad operators, our
government used two checks.
One was regulation. The other
was to encourage and subsidlZe
competition-by parallel railroad
lines at first, later by artificial
waterways, airplanes and roads
and other special advantages for
trucks and buses.
The final result of checking by
subsidized competition was the
mares nest snarl and tangle of
our inefficient and frequently
bankrupt railroad web. The re-
port of the Coolidge national
transportation committee rec
commended consolidation in three
or four single monopolistic sys-
terms.
Regulation Is sufficient" the
committee said. Regulated rail-
road monopoly is the conclusion
of all authorities.

Three popular young m e n,
Messrs. Melvin Winston, George
Bradford and Donald Alexander,
race employees of the above store,
have unstinted praise for the OPP
portunity given them by Walkers
Pharmacy to lead commercial
life. Each anticipates the day
when he may be called to higher
service, because of the experience
gained in his present employment.
The Walkers, coming into the
district, brought with them toll
Grant, democratic and friendly at
titude which still survives. They
Immediately won the confidence OF
their trade by employing a race
girl at their soda fountain. Since
then it has been a part of their
ritual to share their work with
members of the race.
The compliment of these young
employees is significant: "Mr. and
Mrs. Walker are so friendly, we
consider our employment a plea
sure rather than task"

The Dragons led from the start.
Sufficiently confusing the Alxi
team with clever passing and
smooth team work. they ended the
half with a leading score of 81 to

1t was evident that both teams
fought with but a single thought,
that of final victory" But super
Tor skill per player made victory
for the Seven Dragons inevitable.
At the end of the third quarter
the score read Dragons 2e, Alki
