President Roosevelt told Kentuckians recently that he wanted Barkley back in the Senate, But it wasn’t a clear cui New Deal iscue in Kentucky for Chandler has supported most of the Roosevelt program, major exception being to the policies. Then why the clash? one asks. It was simply a case of Happy Chandler running for a higher office while he thought the running was good, according to Morgan Beatty, political writer for the Associated Press. A Governor can't succeed himself in Kentucky, Beatty explains. Tt is tradi- tional there that a Governor's. political organization flies apart when he leaves the state capitol Chandler is 40 years old. He declared his record as Governor entitled him to a Senate seat. He figured he must run for that seat before his term, expires in 1939 or he probably wouldn’t havi The only seat available was Barkley's, and Barkley wanted that himself. So it was just a case of a state organization aga a leader of a Federal organiza- tion, and the latter was successful as the returns re- veal, A closeup of the two men as portrayed- by Mr. Beatty is interesting and reveals why Kentucky saw such a spirited campaign before the Senator walked off the scene a winner, Alben W.

Douglas Corrigan has proved that a dare- and a not only across an ocean but into the hearts of an admiring public. The flight of the pickaback sea- plane Mercury across the Atlantic in less than four- teen hours is another demonstration of what good ines, good instruments and competent fliers can do. Finally, on Friday morning, almost unannounced the German seaplane Nordmeer touched water at Port Washington, a little less than iteen hours out from the Azores. For a hundred years the world has been growing smaller. Now this shrinking has been enormously peeded up. Measured in travel time the globe is coming down to the dimensions of a parish. Theoreti- cally we don't have to let this happen. Practically we can't help it. Man’s drive to conquer space is as much a force of nature as the earth’s tendency to around the sun. We can say with perfect confidence that the airplane of the future will be safer, will go faster and will have a longer flying radius than the ones we have today The time was, say twenty-five years ago, when such a prediction would have received an unquestion- ing welcome. Most of us then thought all inventions bod and the invention of the flying machine p: ticularly good. Generations of men had dreamed about t. We had it. We were happy to live in an age that could produce such marvels. But now another thought present. While airplanes were carrying Hughes around the world, Corrigan to Ireland, Donald Ben- nett westward over the Atlantic, other airplanes employing similar principles of flight, were eng: d on quite different errands. The marvelous controls invented by the Wrights, the engines for which a nall army of entors claim credit, the delicate struments for guida in flight, were being used in China and Spain to kill civilians. At any time they may be used for the same purpose in other coun- tr The military value of such killings is doubtful | Nevertheless, we have to expect them'in any future Vwar, d Moreover, we must assumé that no country will henceforth be wholly safe from them. If England’s frontier is on_the Rhine our own frentier is steadily approaching the European mainland. For a deter- mined enemy it may already have reached that line. One does not want to argue that we should take an interest in world peace only because we are becoming vulnerable to attack. Nevertheless, that fact drives the lesson home. And there is a larger fact. Even though we could not be conquered from the air the speed of air travel is tying closer knots in all our re- lations with other countries. Their peace and their | security are our peace and our security, their danger is our danger. We can no longer withdraw from the | world. We are in it and of it. We have no stake in the parochial quarrels of Europe. We do have a stake in free institutions and free peoples everywhere. We are unavoidably linked by commoen perils and common hopes, not to the changir vernments but to the permanent peoples of the European democracies. It would be alien to| our traditions to enter into military alliances with them. But we are now their geographical neighbors as we have never been before. Inevitably we must make common: cause with them, not for conquest, nor for war, but for the common safety. Like the soul of man, the airplane has a dual personality, It can be either the genial Dr. Jekylt or the malignant Mr. Hyde, In this it is symbelic of much of the apparatus of our present-day civiliza- tions. These mighty mechanisms can be controlled and directed for good only by the world-wide action of democratic peoples. That is what we are coming to.
