Our flight has proved that even at the present time the flight can be made under extremely unfavorable circum- gtances. And, with the progress which this and the other flights will be certain to contribute to the knowledge of avia- tion, 1 feel certain that sufficient im- provements will come to make regular service feasible within that time Commander Byrd also told the Times that circumstance that bad weather attended the Imost from the beginning of her flight, red the end, fortunate, in so far as the trip had bearing on future oceanic commercial navigation, it opportunity for getting data on problems that must be solved If one is to judge the future by the progress of the last ten no reason to question the conclusion of Commander Byrd tran: air under regular year out ten in years year and condi the Am eric in creasing as she ne was for gave years, there seems CANADA’S DIAMOND JUBILEE. have just celebrated of confederation—the The people of the sixtieth annivers, Diamond Jubilee, they called it, At the time| of the confederation, July 1, 1867, four Provinces —New Brunswick, Scotia, Lower Canada (now Quebec) and Upper Canada (now Ontario)— comprised the Dominion. Later Prince Edward's Island and British Columbia joined. Newfound- land, which includes the island of that and Labrador, never accepted the Dominion federation, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and have been settled and added to the country still have the Northwest Territories and Territory that have not yet been erected into self- governing Province The date, July 1, the Dom- Inion's birthday, was that set by proclamation by Queen Victoria for the Constitution, adopted by the British Parliament May 1867, to be- come efiective. Y At the time of confederation the territory now jncluded in the Dominion contained less than 4,000,000 population The population now estimated to be more than 9,000,000. In the sixty years that have elapsed the Provinces have grown into one of the great nations of the world. Her wealth is estimated at twenty-five billions and her annual foreign trade averages about two-and- a-half billions, with a handsome balance of trade in her favor. Her anuual budget Is about $400,000,000.

Thc America is too badly the flight back ac the At lantic, even if the plane ever flics again, but a similar plane, will almost surely Byrd again across the Atlantic and back again. 2 Kven the stories of all of the four members|{ of the crew of the America do not enable onef} {o know where they flew during those agonizing i five hours during which they wandered in u|l crazy course over Northwestern France. ' None 5 v of them knows just how close they got to Le Bourget, It seems that Lieutenant Balchen, who wase piloting at the time, gives the best evidence in the case. He says that at one time, the hour of which he cannot fix, he saw a light flit acrose the wing of the plane and then twice more flare through the clouds. It is entirely likely that this may have been the Mount Valerian light to the west of Paris, and, inasmuch as Balchen says is showed straight up the wing of the plane the airmen must have been over it. They would then be eight miles from Le Bourget. Balchen also says he circled four times, trying to pick up the light again, but in vain. That checks up with the story of the guards at the Porte Versailles, on the west side of the capital, who say a plane circled over their vincinity for about twenty minutes. on Cheer up!
