Germany, in whose behalf the scheme was proposed, 1s frankly grateful and conversations between the German and French governments seem imminent. The Teutons doubtless will humble themselves and flatter the Gallic pride enough to give France justification for making a generous gesture. Secretary Mellon, doubtless, has told them the ideas of the American government and of the American financiers who hold so many French govern- ment bonds. The secretary of the treasury would be justified if he were to exert a little pressure on our late allies to force them into line. French love of the dramatic will get little satisfaction out of the situation, The Gauls, from Normandy to{ Marseilles, are notoriously hard-fisted. They prefer the bird in the larder to a whole flock in the sky. Their governmental policy long has been to “take the cash and let the credit go.” It might be something of a coup in international amity for them to accede to the pro- posal if, thereby, they could play the hero's role. But they cannot do that for President Hoover is too firmly entrenched in the center of the stage. If they refuse to agree, France will be, very distinctly, the international villain in the piece. t Another and equally as powerfui a reason, is the prob- ability that firms which recognize the value of advertis- ing are wide-awake and are handling other phases of their business in an equally intelligent manner. It is a significant thing that the public expects the business which advertises regularly to be well-managed. Not So Big The Atlantic ocean is growing smaller. To be sure the geography stili is correct when it lists its width in miles, but to a growing number of individuals it no longer is the vast, impassable barrier which it ap- Pears on the maps. Post and Gatty crossed it in little more than 16 hours and arrived at Berlin in 24.

It is not such a far cry from Lindbergh's flight in 1926 or the first trans-ocean jump of Brown and Hawker Beveral years before that, but there has been a big ad- vance in the design and reliability of airplanes and air- plane motors. Weather reporting services are better and, all-in-all, the business of flying across the Atlantic bids fair to be a routine matter in the near future. Hillig and Hoiriis were the eleventh to make the non- stop crossing. Apparently we are to have a few more this summer, for the season for such activity is not far advanced, And when these crossings are made they will be news, But a few years from now a trip across the ocean by air will merit no more newspaper space than the arrival Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Trib- une’s policies.

Everything about the place looked slightly rundown. The porch sagged and the shingles needed paint. But to Cass and Liane with eyes accustomed to the brick and mortar of the smoldering city the place had an air of ease and even beauty. Mrs, Smithers answered the clan- gor of their knock and showed them to their rooms, Cass said, looking about the low-eaved third story apartment, “I wonder if this won't be terribly hot.” Mrs, Smithers as- sured them it was amazingly cool under the roof. The two had to take her word for it. ‘They left their bags and started to walk to the theater. The play- house was located on a corner of the Cleespaugh estate on the shore.

Elsie’s greeting was reassuring. “Hello, kid, how're things?” Yes, Els! was nice and friendly. Liane’s heart warmed to her. True, she was rather snoopy at times, liked to ask personal questions, and liked to pry. But Liane felt that her simple friendliness made up for all that. “We don’t begin until Thursday night,” Elsie volunteered. “The old man” (she made a disrespectful face at Vernon’s back) “is having fits because the velvet curtains ar- rived two inches too long. The decorators have to dash out tomor- row and take a tuck in them. And the lighting system has gone ulooey out here in the wilds.” Elsie seemed pleased, on the whole, at this delay. Liane went around to the front of the small theater and peered in. Electricians were making a great to do, bawling back and forth at each other. Carpenters were ham- mering.

She was faultlessly and naturally blond.
