Informative to those minds hatrassed by the mythi- cal spectre of weakening government credit which some Republicans are trying to create, is the recent report of Thomas A. Buckner, President of the New York Life Insurance Company. In analyzing the assets of his company President Buckner points out that the holdings of United States Government, direct or fully guaranteed, bonds total- led $321276.845, an increase of 54 percent over the previous year. Municipal bonds increased 14 per cent and public utility bonds 4 per cent. Despite the heavy spending the Administration has necessarily done in bringing the country out of the pathetic morass of 1932, and the a tions of “waste” hurled at it by Liberty Leaguers, this tre- mendous increase in the purchase of Government bonds by a great national company powerfully refutes the scare talk emanating from dissatisfied sources, and indicates a healthy confidence in the Government's ability to pay. “COIN” HARVEY.

(New York Times) | It would be d¥fficult to discover more solid ground | for confidence in the future of Ameérican aeronautics than was afforded by the fourth annual meeting of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences which closed | a' Columbia University last Friday evening. For three | days some 300 leaders in the field gave absorbed at- | tention to technical papers presented by a score of Modern Etiquette By Roberta I ee HAPPY —BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their their number and participated widely in the ensuing discussion. The range of subjects was astonishing and bore witness to how many independent sciences find vital meeting points with that of aviation. The metallurgist, the meteorologist, the radio engineer, the physicist in many specialized fields; all find them- selves closely involved in the complex problems of increased speed and safety for flight. Members of the institute were much heartened during the meeting by the announcement of a bequest from an anonymous donor of $500,000 to be realized in the future which, coming after the bequest' of the late Dr. Sylvanus Albert Reed to establish the annual award bearing his name, was taken as conclusive evidence of the esteem in which the work of this scientific clearing house is held. That only the surface of aeronautical accomplish- ment has been scratched was made clear during the | proceedings of the meeting. - While it was shown that the mind of airplane designer, engine and propeller builder, and air-transport operator alike is turned | |to the possibilities of the thin airs of the sub-strato- | I sphere and the stratosphere itself to bring the speed | ‘or air travel to 300 or more miles an hour, the con- |sensus was that the utilization of at least the higher |strata of these upper levels was beset with serious | | problems. Control of pressures and temperatures (:vorf an enormous range for sealed, super-charged cabins |is only one of them.

No man with the courage of his convictions and the capacity for leadership to set up such a record can be said to have lived a useless and empty life. He believed our financial system was wrong.

In it he was placing manuscripts he had written himself describ- ing our times. His theory was that when this civiliza- tion crumbles there will be some record available for those excavators of future centuries if they start dig- ging in the Ozarks. The work was not completed, but Harvey left his own organization foundation in such shape that the work must be completed by those in his association. To most of us it sounds like a balmy idea. But who can tell. Maybe a thousand years from now the people of the earth will be describing our civiliza- tion in the words of “Coin” Harvey, found buried in the Ozark pyramid. ESKIMO AUTO-SUGGESTION. Report from Point Barrow says the Eskimos in that community are suffering for want of tood and fuel. A later report says the first report is highly exaggerated and that there is no one hungry in the community. But still a third report carries the in- triguing information that the $200 which the widow of the late Will Rogers contributed to the Eskimos for the part they played in helping at the Rogers- Post wreck near Barrow" last summer is to be used to buy song books.

But in great part this was made possible | by the generosity of the Democratic Administration’s | | farm and relief programs, and Mr. Landon knows that | very well indeed. According to careful journalists who have studied" the matter at first hand, such as Raymond Grahm | Swing and Walter Davenport, writing in the Nation and Collier’s, respectively, Governor Landon is build- ing a Republican campaign out of the essential features of the New Deal. He is for a child labor amendment, for the newly | adopted Social Security Act, for the Agricultural | Adjustment Act in any new form that may seem | constitutional, and is not opposed to the Wagner | Labor Disputes Act and the Guffey Coal Act. He is |also in favor of drastic banking reform. In short, |according to these inquirers, Governor Landon is not |50 much a “Kansas Coolidge” as a “Republican Roose- | velt.” | Probably it is unfair to be too specific about what a |possible candidate favors in advance of his own definite statements. But aspirants to the Presidency have a way of saying astonishingly little in their | | many speeches, and one must judge from the evidence | |at hand. If Landon is in fact the sort of “liberal,” | | he is painted by these and other careful observers, his |nomination would give the American people little more than a choice between two New Deals, one under la Democratic banner and one under a Republican.
