BY BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

THE main contention of the internatonalsts of the
L Wikie- Wallace breed is that the airplane has
shortened distances between countries that the time is
ripe for "word-state" in which all peoples shall dis
solve their identities and their sovereignties in
common nation
That is the basis and meaning Of Wendell Wilkes
lone World" and of Henry Waaces plan of teescoping
all peoples into "world-state
Nothing is more infantile specous than 10
believe that because we can 60 from New York to
Moscow or Chungking comparatively few hours that
the peoples of the United States Russia and China are
nearer another.
THE nternationaiss- would destroy national
i sef-determnation and sovereignty-think of
distances only in miles
But real distances in this world must be measured
between differing ideals ages-ong cultural and historical
backgrounds and soilrooted love of country
And there erSts Speedometer to measure those
distances.
The distance from America to Russia has been
shortened by air.
But the distance from independence Hall in Phla-
delpha to the Kremln in Moscow is as great-GREATER
than
That distance is measured in TRADITIONS, FUNDA-
MENTAL INSTINCTS and NATIONAL ASPIRATIONS
which also cannot be registered speedometers
TRUE, you can fly to Europe now in mo time" the
saying goes.
But the distance between the democratic and
indiyidualistic ideas of Thomas jefferson and the
stateensIaving ideas of Ncola Lenin still remains
ASTRONOMICAL.
The distance between the American instinct for
personal liberty and the Russia and Teuonic instinct to
goosesep mentally, morally and physically is mcdlcudbe
and it cannot be bridged by airplane.
You cannot travel from what America has meant
since 1889 to what continental Europe has meant for
thousands of years in a flying machine.
An ocean does not divide Europe and America
divided by an abysm of DIFFERING CONCEPTS OF
LIFE AND WAYS OF LIVING.

THERE is NO ROUTE between Mt. Vernon and Moscow.
i There is route-air otherwise-between Month
cello and Berlin.
The distance from Mars to the earth is LESS than
that from the freedomloving heart and brain of any
real Yankee-doodle American to that of any Jap, al
though Toxic is only few hours bombing distance
from Kiska
The minds, the hearts the souls, the aspirations of
peoples are NOT brought to another by
arplanes.
Indeed physical only intensifes differences
see both in nations and in individual lives.
THERE is no system of measurement which can be
applied to the profound passion for liberty such
UNITED STATES Americans have.
You cannot weigh span the spirit of people.
Airplanes cannot fly from spirit to spirt-ony from
city to city.
The distance is unreasonable between the robust
soul of the Declaration of independence and the socially
sick minds that drew up the Communist Manifesto of
1S4S.
The distance is interstelar between bill of rights
people and an OGPU-Gestapo people.

nationalist, will be able to fly from the high level
of American ndivdualsm to the deep bells of European
state-parasitism
