Belgium Emerging The success of the Belgian program for the re- habilitation of the franc gives rise to the hope for the successful culmination of the policies of France and Italy. It is particularly pertinent at this time when so much is being heard about the European trade barriers. n j (that is that far too much emphasis has been laid One thing, of course, is certain, and on the tariff question, But Belgium herself is actually emerging from | her unfortunate position at the bottom of the lad-| His successful negoti Early last summer her currency reached its | completion of the ferward step taken when Lind-!

Politics and other controversial subjects are of intense interest to Americans. Théy are accus- tomed to individual thinking and they like to hear all sides of an argument, whether in person or by radio. Consequently such a regulation would be well-nigh unworkable in America, due to the pres- sure of public opinion. Good Sportsmanship It is good sportsmanship which Commander Rich- ard E, Byrd displays when he announces his de- termination to make the flight from New -York to Paris, The fact that Lindbergh's daring achieve- ment has removed much of the lustre from this venture has not deterred Commender .Byrd in his decision to make the hop. ; Byrd says he plans to make the trip ‘to gather scientific data on trans-Atlantic flying. If he meets with success, he deserves just as great credit as Lindbergh. It takes courage to venture like Lindbergh did into uncharted spaczs. Byrd has that courage. His desire to gather data is praise- worthy, since for the first time the world will be given accurate information on the possibility of establishing trans-Atlantic passenger service. The world will not forget when this young man, just as modestly as Lindbergh, hopped off from Spitz- bergen and flew cver the pole, to carry American colors there, The world’s best wishes should go with Byrd. ion of the trip may mark But, primarily, Byrd de- serves credit for his sportsmanship, his gallantry under circumstances when the average man would give up in disappointm Floating University vs. Motor Bus To those university students who hesitate at the outlay necessary to make one of the numerous round-world or “floating university” cruises, prove more acceptable. ter several motor busses and make a tour of the United States. night, using pup tents and mattresses.

Editorial Comment | How the Great Flood Came (Chicago Tribune) Many readers must have wondered why the Mis sissippi and some of its cenfluents are on the worst rampage in our time. We have not been conscious of such exceptional weather conditions as would seem to account for such an exceptional disaster, That always interesting publication, Science of H. C. Frankenfield, head of the division of rivers j and floods of the U. S. weather bureau. The prep- aration for the great flood began last September, says this expert. By October there were floods in the Arkansas and Neosho rivers, causing damag: of forty million dollars or more, Far out on the prairie mud was everywhere in the cornfields. The rains then passed eastward and northward over Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, IMlinois, Indiana, Ohio and the Cumberland district. All the streams of this vast region were high though it was the low water season, “We knew then,” says Mr. Frankenfield, “that. much above normal, we were going to have a big flood.” And they were.

But, as Dr. Marvin, chief of the weather bureau, reminds us, prediction is far ahead of prevention. That is the duty of the nation now, to see that prevention overtakes prediction. It is the greatest single physical task in American his- jtory and calls for the best engineering and scien- tific knowledge and skill to be had. We have pro- crastinated too long.
