It has rigins in the laboratory, on the flying field, the fog-bound airway, in the screaming power « in the cold air of the higher altitudes and | ¢ torm-tossed waters. It is a story of heroic I rs, of eager scientists and of men in military jvilian life doing a day's job well With air-raid sirens across the Atlantic ringing in one' ears, it is natural to think first of aviation i military role. Here the United States has no ci.use to be ashamed of its progress. Since the first crude biplane delivered by the Wrights to the Signal Cirps 30 ago the aircraft industry, through it= own research and through the technical facili-| t of the National Advisory Committee for Aero- rautics and the laboratory equipment of both the € and the navy, has supplied to both services B s of all kinds whose performances are at least tlie equal of their counterparts anywhere else in the word But the civil side that air progress in It was it is on this nation has been the most noteworthy. culy in 1918 that the first plane made hard work of | i ) get from New York to Philadelphia with a few nds of mail in four hours. Today a passenger, ter or a shipment of express travels in less than four hours between New York and Chicago. A net- work of domestic airlines crisscrosses the continent in wll directions with 35492 miles of routes. An av-‘ craze of 1,169 passengers is in the air every second of the day and night, and for every tick of the watch 15 tons of mail are on the skyways. In international vice our flag is flown on more than 50,000 miles of airway, including schedule service across both major oceans and around the perimeter of our sister continent to the south. Land transports of 30 tons gross weight and fly- inz boats of 42% tons already are in the air. Air- 100 tons and more are on the drawing beords. Engines have passed 2,000 .horsepower for a single unit. And with the size of aircraft the ure of the industry and of the men who operate it has grown. The National Aeronautic Association h done a national service in arranging for the celchration of air progress in America. In Alaska, particularly, the progress of aviason utstanding and has contributed greatly lopment of the Territory. We in the north join in the national observance. YOUTH DOES KNOW ciait of dev heartily The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce h the right idea in taking polls among young men c he question of ‘this country’s going to war. A p !l showing that men above the draft age were jpiling for a war would be serious, but not as seri- | cus as finding out that the men in the first draft| v anxious to get killed in somebody’s else’s fight. So we were reassured to learn that a Juhior C. of C. poll among 3,000 men between 20 and 30| old showed that while 98 percent of them 2d fight to defend the United States, only 12 :nt would fight in defense of any democracy the Western Hemisphere. These young men ouliide German serial bombs set fire tolthe Polish town of bold is pictured in flames, according, to information to New York by radio, to the | the knew little of the horror of last World War first hand (the oldest only 9 when the war ended). But we are gl o see that -they don’t need first-hand experience to give them common sense. National Unity—For Peace (Philadelphia Record) “National unity!” More and more that phrase creeps into dispatches from Washington and into the columns of the com- Mmentators.s President Roosevelt himself uses it his lefter canceling his address for “Democratic Women's Day.” National unity phrases it should is a fine phrase. Like many fine be clearly defined, especially in ‘nmm like these. Otherwise those using the phrase may be grievously misunderstood Our nation, for example, is unquestionably united behinad its democratic form of government. We pray that it ever will be. On the other hand, for an individual or a mem- ber of Congress to dissent from a policy of the Admin- iétration, or from an opinion in vogue at Washington “~that’s democracy. And it would be an unhappy mis- take for anyone to seek to choke off free expression of opinion with the cry that it disturbs “national unity.” This is particularly pertinent in connection with the impending session of Congress. Congress will meet to decide our foreign policy in this time of international crisis and strife. Its dis- cussions should be discussions of statesmen, discus- sions' concerned only with the best interests of the nation and not with political partisanship. But those members of Congress also go to Wash- ington ‘as representatives of their people. And if their people prefer a course which may not fit in with the Admmv of the Administration, or the majority in either | house-—it is still the right and duty of those represen- Itatives to speak freely and without any suggestion of | coercion, political or emotional |~ Only in such clear atmosphere of serious debate |'can our nation’s welfare best be safeguarded | Only in such atmosphere can the overwhelming [dmnt‘ of our people for neutrality be translated into | practical action. We are a democracy. We are at peace | our national unity for preservation of those con- | ditions is beyond question. But because we face critical days, there are groups which will seek to use the concept of national unity for political purposes. Already we have noted the eagerness of certain Republicans to muscle in on th Administration under the cloak of “national unit in order to strengthen their partisan position That’s not the American w: In the tension of the days to come, free expression of opinion, in Washington and out, will be the safety valve for our emotions as well as our conscienc But |it should be honest opinion. Neither Republic: nov Democrats should attempt to make domestic political capital out of our foreign policy. Peace no less than war imposes a duty upon citi- zens. Especially the duty to think, and think clearly Emotion often tends to crowd out reason. Anger may threaten to supersede _yudumcm President Roo: varned against those very | dang His task in preserving the neutrality he ha: pledged will be difficult, and he will need cool heads in the hinterlands as well as about him in the capital. With his leadership, national unity—that inces- sant phrase—should mean not unity of opinion but unity of purpose—the purpose being peace. | It’s November 23! (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) Gov. Clarence D. Martin acts in conformity wi popular feeling in this state in designating Novem- ber 23 as Thanksgiving Day. Since President Roosevelt announced, the earlier date was to be named in his own proclamation, which applies only to the national capital and territories, public sentiment has had an opportunity to crystal- {lize. There has been a general acceptance of the fact that holidays are made for people, not people for holidays, and that a November 30 Thanksgiving |is entirely too close to Christmas and New Year. The entire holiday system, and, indeed, the cal~ jendar as a whole are overdue for a change. «The scheduling of all holidays on Monday certainly would add greatly to public enjoyment and confidence. Business could be conducted more efficiently with a more even spacing of holidays and with a division of "‘the year into months and quarters that would allow more accurate statistical comparisons. The advanced Thanksgiving that will be observed quite generally " this year' will mean ' greater' ‘Con- venience in this particular instance. It will greatly stimulate business. It also encourages the study of even broader reforms. It Takes a War to Change Them (Mining and Contracting Review) l We have criticized Franklin D. Roosevelt and his policies. The world f5'lon ‘fire ‘hgath—Robsevelt is President of the nation which may save civilization— therefore The Review, though just one of those “drops of water,” salutes him on his profound radio state- | ment of September 2, hopes not to criticize again while | the President is in such a tough spot. | German communiques are once more announcing | that in the west there is nothing new. It is bound to makc some Germans recall how it all ended last timy | Some people over here are accumulating war stocks of Scotch whisky. It is gratifying to know that our preparedness campaign apparently is looking to all | the angles.

Heart and Home: Late in the afternoon women benefit today. It is' fortunate for love' affairs that are well started. It is a lucky day for shopping, especially' for clothes, furniture, 'art’objects ' and jewelry The' €vening is" auspicious for 50- dial events. Business ' Affairs: < 'Members ' of Congress will- be’ ériticized for ' leg- islation “affecting the ‘strall'‘mer- chant’ and others who have little capital for commercial While this should 'be a profitable day'for many industries, there may be ' difficulty in obtaining ' loans from' banks. Agitation regarding the financial policies'' of* the Federal government ‘will be widespread and pérhaps embarrassing ‘in “interna- tional ‘relations. ¥ National Issues: Jupiter rising in ‘Washington, D. C.; is"fead’ as indi-~ cating ‘increase of -prosperity and power for the nation. Conservative Democrats will' attempt to assert tHemselves, but the stars seem 10 presage little headway in opposing the ~ administratiofr. cret - plans will be developed by leaders of both political parties who are to have surprises in campaign 'evolution. International Affairs:’ Jupiter culminating in Warsaw is believed to ‘be favorable to' the revival uf Poland’s fortunes. Saturn is in an ispect presaging for Russia severe economic depression. Rio de Jan- eiro comes under a ‘sway fore- shadowing a sudden revolutionary outbreak. Egypt and Palestine will be disturbed by conflicts that do not make immediate decisive pro- gress. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of progress in business or professional careers. Gain through a law suit or specu- lative enterprise is presaged for a few. Children born on this day prob- ably will be gifted with artistic tal- nts. Many of these Libra subjects become successful musicians or writers.
