JAPAN S GROWING AIR CHAIN
Aggressive, energetic Japan, constantly conscious of
the present and future needs of it some 90,000,000 popula
tion, increasing at the rate of 650,000 a year, according to
' Associated Press dispatches, that 1,000 miles of hirlines con
necting its Pacific island possessions will be established.
One of the links in this air chain, reaching out from
Tokyo, is the Bonin Islands group,, nearly 600 miles out in
the Pacific, to the south and west. Future plans call for a
linking of all Japanese possessions through air routes.
The fact that Japan is going ahead bringing her rela
tively small possessions closer to the homeland through air
routes should prove a significant impetus to the program
of establishing consistent and continuous air routes between
the vast Territory of Alaska, with it mighty resources and
its strategical position in the internationally important
North Pacific Ocean, and the cities of the United States.

CANADIAN VIEW OF U. S.
With a great popular vbte swung in behind Democratic
candidates for public offices of all degree, the people of the
United States on Nov. 6th endorsed the New Deal of Presi
dent Roosevelt through what was possibly the most stupen
dous popular Liberal gesture in the history of the world.
Similarly, they defeated Upton Sinclair, .in California,
thus showing that, in United States as in Canada, people of
our race and tradition consider that Liberalism is sufficient
to work out essential reform without any recourse to the
radical forces of Socialism.
Our new age of abundance requires a system of money
and government by which the masses shall be able to buy
as much food, clothing and shelter as they now can produce.
So President Roosevelt must, in the next few months,
prove that the Capital system can rid itself of enough hum
bug and profit and debt to meet this new challenge, or else
state-ism in America and Canada and England is inevitable.
The large popular vote that was cast for Franklin D.
Roosevelt two years ago was. not necessarily a Liberal vote.
Certainly it was a gesture of .protest against the immov
able financial piety of the Hooverk tnd the economic stupid
ity that seemed to be increasing th<rCountry’s distress hour
by hour.
But that vote was essentially an instrument for throw
ing somebody out rather than an instrument for sweeping
somebody in. This time the American people know what
Roosevelt is. They have watched his work for two years.
They are sure of the direction in which he is moving.
And they know that he is the* most powerful Liberal
influence in the whole world.
The vote on November 6, therefore, was not a vote of
protest. It was not a vote of despair.
It was a vote of enthusiastic approbation for a man es
sentially Liberal in thought and for a policy essentially Lib
eral in action.
It was a nation’s vote of confidence in Liberalism. With

eral, actually, since Labor has disjointed itself from Social
ism); with Scottish borroughs doing the same thing; with
Canada seething with impatience to disburden herself of the
tiresome inept and reactionary Bennett government, this
endorsation of Roosevelt indicates how thoroughly Liberal
ism is today sweeping the civilized world. It indicates how
completely thinking men have embraced the indisputable
fact that Liberal thought and Liberal action point to the
only way out.
", Certainly this vast public gesture of popular approval
should constitute a grave warning to those fat and pious
politicians in other countries who have been sitting still in
their jobs, hoping against hope that the failure or public
chastisement of Roosevelt would eventually justify their own
lethargy. >
The world is moving even faster than we thought. And
Heaven help the leaders now who cannot keep up with it.
Heaven help Roosevelt, too, if he misses this opportun
ity to salvage Capitalism. —Vancouver Sun.
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
—, J. W. Hanson, editor of) the New Smyrna (Florida)
Daily News says
“The inquisitive nature of the American people has
made us experimenters in a great many things. We are
a people peculiarly given to imagining that some better way
exists than the one in use.
“We have climaxed this tendency in our efforts towards
business and industrial recovery, but we are finding that the
old trusted practice of relying upon individual initiative and
cooperation has no perfect alternative; that society is made
up of individuals, and that each man must do his part to
make any large-scale effort a success.
“Oftentimes we fall into the error of depending too
much on legislation to do the jobs that are, in the natural
scheme of things, meant for us as individuals. And so we fall
into the error of trusting to some unseen power to pull our
own individual businesses out of the slough of depression.
But gradually we are learning again that each man is, to a
large extent in America, the master of his own fate, and
that it is up to us as business men to toot our own horns;
to do our own advertising.
“Good business men know that every successful busi
ness venture is founded upon newspaper advertising. They
know that regardless of how much we may theorize, we come
back to the inescapable fact that newspaper advertising is
as important to the individual business as the articles of the
Constitution are to the American government. Both serve
a purpose which pannot be dispensed with. Both contain
certain fundamentals which cannot be exchanged for new
methods without incurring great sacrifices.”
