THE VIKINGS
Sweden’s crown prince has paid tribute to the \ ik
ings at the old stone mill which Newport likes to believe
is a landmark of the coming of Leif Ericsson. Even Hors
ford spent much of his lifetime trying to prove that the
Vikings came ashore at Norumbega, on the Charles river.
The range of speculation includes points as far north as
Labrador and as far south as Virginia, for the location of
that “Vineland” wThere grapes were found. At any rate,
there can be little doubt that the Norsemen did anticipate
Columbus. The Norsemen, like the Phoenicians, sailed a
boat wherever a boat could go, and the restless spirit of
Amundsen, Rasmusses or Nansen is the outcropping in
our time of the fever that burned in the veins of Eric and
Red and his shipmates bidding them sail, like Ulysses, be
yond the rim of the known world.
AMERICAN ADVISERS
Professor Kemmerers call to Poland is one more
example of America’s reputation as the home of sound
financial advisers. His work in Colombia and Chile has
made him known to a section of the world that hears lit
tle of Princeton university, where he is professor of eco
nomics and finance, and now he and his associates are to
tackle the economic problems of a new European country.
Other Americans in much the same category are numer
ous. One thinks of the past work of Shuster and the pre
sent mission headed by Millspaugh in Persia, the duties
of Jeremiah Smith in Austria, the Dawes commission, the
work of Persident Goodnow in China.
THE PRINTED WORD
Every reporter at one time or another makes each
of his friends mad. It is the penalty of the newspaper
game. It is so easy to disgust people with the printed
word. You can say something to your best friend, and
he will take it as a joke. You can state the same thing in
print, and he takes insult. The most mysterious thing in
the world is the printed word as far as effect is concern
ed.
