WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
(Continued From Page One)
Californians have the reputation
of being persistent boosters for their
own state. Much thait they have
said in the past has had to be taken
on faith because not everyone has
time to go to the Pacific Coast and
make his own observations. It is
now possible for Washington folks
to have a look at California by
means of what is little more than a
week-end trip. A commercial plane •
leaves the capital of the nation at
nine in the morning and sets its pas
engers down in Los Angeles at mid
night of the same day.
Emerson observed that a man is
like a piece of Labrador spar, which
has no lustre as you turn it, until
you come to a particular angle,
whereupon it shows deep and beau
tiful colors. That is a kindly and
philosophical thought, but the troub
le with it is that the arm sometim
es gets tired in the turning pro
cess.
Many years ago. a cable message
announced that the Akoond of Swat
was dead. A newspaperman who
was asked to furnish on short no
tice a half column on the Akoond of
Swat found himself in a tight place.
In his extremity he wrote a poem,
little remains but to set down the
bare fact that it is reported that
Manchoukuo has 5700 miles of rail
way. In the paLSt. the farmer has
shunned Manchoukuo because he
feared that the roads might be bad
there. Honeymoon trips have not
included that country. Even cor
respondence with relatives in Man
choukuo was a serious business.
Now a sense of relief sweeps over
everyone since it appears that Man
choukuo at last is open to a waiting
and expeutant world
