WORLD ON EDGE OF AN ABYSS.
(Magazine of Wall Street.)
The great peril of our times is not the threat of Bolshe
vism, Nazi-ism or Fascism. It is the danger of another
World War. It is no longer possible for two great nations
to fight a fenced-off war like that between Bolivia and Para
guay.
Another general war of the proportions and duration
of the struggle between the Allies and the Central European
nations would undoubtedly impair the economy of the
world, possibly, if not probably, to such an extent that there
would come a reversion to barbarism. Yet nothing funda
mental is being done to remove the possibility of such a cata
clysm—and apparently nothing can be done.
All the world can do is to skate fearfully along on the
thin ice of provisions and arrange to maintain peace for a
few months or a few years. The merest chance is all that
stands between it and dissolution. Pacifism and militara
ism are equally powerless in the face of potential annihilia
tion.
In the past a great conqueror might march to peace thru
war. But today the conqueror can march through war only
to the ruin of all. The greatest task of all times awaits the
greatest man of all times—the winning of perpetual peace.
SENTIMENTALITY.
(Denver Rocky Mountain News)
The maudlin sort of sympathy that is ready to produce
copious tears whenever a hardened yegg sniffles and says
that he is sorry, popped into public view in Detroit the other

day.
The local sheriff invited the mothers and children of
Detroit to come to the jail and listen to a sermon by one of
his prisoners, he said, had seen the error of his ways and had
repented, and was reading the Bible daily; he could give a
very uplifting little talk on the advisability of shunning the
ways of crime.
All of this might have been all right, if it hadn't turned
out that the repentant sinner was William Lee Ferris, a con
fessed panderer and slayer, who is awaiting trial on charges
of having slain the nephew of Charles Evan Hughes.
Somehow, the stunt didn’t appeal to Detroit. Women’s
clubs and public officials rose in wrath, the sermon was can
celed, and the sheriff left tows. And the sheriff’s idea re
mains a sample of brainless sentimentality at its worst.

Then we had a few winks, a good
breakfast and a dinner, and remain
ed there until in the afternoon. The
Beyers were particularly glad to see
us for the reason ships or other
craft seldom call at their isolated
home, and no other plane had ever
been there. Taking off we flew
back to Valdez and refueled, and
then made straight for Anchorage.
See Goats and Bears
"Skimming over a long glacial
stretch and striking the mainland
near Passage Arm, or Portage Bay,
we were sailing above a mountain
ridge of about 2,500 feet elevation,
when we sighted a fine large herd
of mountain goats. We counted 25
in the herd Zooming down close to
them we circled over them several
times and they became highly excit
ed and scurried about the steep cliffs
socking some place of shelter or
escape. With unerring foot they
climbed among the crags and al
though we thought some of them
would tumble headlong down the
dizzy peaks, not one lost his footing.

‘Near where we saw the goats we
also saw two families of bears. First
there was a mother bear with three
cubs, and then another with two
cubs. As we dove close to them and
got a good closeup view, the mothers
lay flat, as though seeking to attract
the cubs to them, but the daring
little fellows persisted in running
excitedly in all directions, and kept
up their race until we passed out of
sight.”
