AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

stock brokerage firm cr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
lormation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
AIR MAIL TO ASIA
What is perhaps the most
ambitious air mail project ever
considered is to connect the
United States and Canada with
China and Japan by way of
Alaska, if plans tentatively
made by officials of the two
North American countries can
be put into effect.
These plans were discussed
on a recent visit of Assistant
Postmaster General Glover to
Canada, and upon his return
to Washington he expressed
confidence in the feasibility*of
the project. The proposed
route would begin in the Unit
ed States, cross Canada, Alas
ka, and the eastern edge of
Soviet Russia, and terminate
in China and Japan.
All the territory to be cov
ered by the route has been
flown over experimentally,
and there appear to be no ser
ious physical obstacles to the
establishment of regular sched
ules, which would reduce ‘he
time of mail in transit as much
as two weeks in some cases.
This route, Mr. Glover said,
would be in keeping with the
world-wide trend of the air
mail, for which regular trans
Atlantic service is also being
definitely contemplated.

Public Is Air Shy
Although the United States
government is spending about
30 million dollars a year in aid
of commercial flying, the avi
ation industry is in serious dif
ficulties, according to Post
master General Brown.
Passenger air lines carried
a paying load of only 16 to 40
per cent of their capacity last
year, and operating losses have
been so great that “the very
life of the passenger transport
industry is in the balance.’’
He further points out that jf •
' the air lines should collapse
j through lack of public support
the millions which the govern
1 ment has contributed, as well
as much of the money invested
‘ by the public, would be lost.
The trouble appears to be
that air lines have been ex
tended too rapidly. Only a
small percentage of the public
will yet trust themselves to the
airplane for long flights. Every
:aii plane disaster which is
spread across the front pages
; of newspapers tends to make
people afraid of this form of
transportation.
The public generally will be
come “air-minded” only when
convinced that air lines assure
afety as well as speed.

Intelligence Must
Replace Greed
I
“There may be shorter-sight
ed people on earth than inter
national bankers-but we doubt
it. Money is juggled interna
i tionally co there is a food gur
' plus in one country and a
famine in another. The world
can’t go on forever with inter
national bade at a standstill.
It is darn easy to sit in a nice
teakwood cabin on a yacht and
i yawn: “Conditions are funda
mentally sound.’’ They are
not-they’re fundamentally un
,sound-and unless some intelli
j gence replaces the greed which
now is the motive power be
hind the world, there is going
to be trouble.”—Jim Marshall
in the Seattle Star.
