G. -Wells, British novelist, speaks from personal ex perience when he describes European air services as being "I'.npunctual, untrustworthy and inconsiderate of the ordi nary passenger," but when he deduces from that experience there is very little future for commercial flying he is neither convincing nor speaking with authority. Steamships, trains and automobiles were once as unde pendable and unpunctual as the passenger airplane, but to day they arc punctual, trustworthy and considerate- to a high degree. In their incipient stages the railroad, steam ship and automobile were depreciated in much the same -manner as the aeroplane is now being "scrapped" by Mr. Wells. Instead of saying that aviation has little future, the i worst that Mr. Wells can convincingly say to its discredit i I a spowr AW&MME oake soft W ' L'"e -va .

ByJxvnius .is that it has nothing; except future developments to recom- !mend it; but the fact that Mr. Wells has certain ideas about what the Kiiper-man of the future will do and look like, that does not qualify him as an infallible judge of the worth of future improvements in the art of flying. ' It is conceded, however, that .there are formidable ob stacles to be overcome before commercial flying is placol on a schedule basis, giving passengers reasonable assur ance of leaving and arriving on time. Certain atmospheric 'conditions which merely delay trains and ocean-going vos .hols and make motoring precarious, make flying impossible cr, at least, exceedingly dangerous.

It was inevitable that on liolh bunks of the Rhine popu lar emotions have iimlei'tfone a sharp reaction from the liijfh pitch of Locarno. Cold loo-ie usually follows ecstasy and inspired admiration often cools into critical analysis. So the reaction from Locarno is not a case of disillusion ment, hut a natural let-down. The contractiiitr nations have not lost faith in their pfaoo-pact nor do they doubt its Value; lo them Locarno represents one problem solved and lr.eans more lime to devote to the solution of other prob lems. (Jermany's currency is stable, but she is harried by un employment, and in France the situation is just reversed. Three, years ao (lermany was in financial chaos and the tuimber of her unemployed, in a nation of sixty millions, was neRlijtible. Today her finances are sound but she has (65,0()0 people out of work. While the French franc was firm three years an't) Franco was troubled with unemploy ment, but now that she stands panicky on quaking l'inan lial ground her number of unemployed is officially placed at C13. (lermany survived her financial crisis ami it is conceded that France is even better able to weather such n storm. Roth of the Furopean republic are traveling a hard road, but each obstacle overcome fortifies them for the next. If history holds true, both will emerge stronger because of their hardships and struggles. .hlMt wh.-n .lo.-H tlx- hrl.l. olf it ml tin- wife iM-ftii. '.' liuv. JiOTH'K.
