Acts 2:2 1. 76o .. f 4.6U Ijo Abe Martin According to a well-known flyer, the future of aviation will depend entirely upon the training received by aviators. An aviator, quite naturally, should know the business from the ground up. Something else that seems to be out of kilter in China is Homebody's thermometer. An item says ice cream has been introduced in that country for the first time and that it was "warmly received." There are pistols and knives and hatchets and blackjacks in the list of deadly weapons, and, when careless hands are on the wheel and reckless drivers are behind them1, automo biles nre to be included. 'If you doubt this, read the ever lenptheningr list of traffic fatalities. A man does not have to be deliberate in his intent to kill to be a morally responsible slayer. He is one if he kills while acting in reckless disregard of others. The motorist who drives his car at breakneck speed through the streets and goes hurtling down the path that others cross employs a deadly weapon against his fel lows as surely as one who empties his gun down a crowded thoroughfare. Good drivers are those who get not the highest but the safest speed out of their cars. What is it that gives prophecies of evil such popularity? Hope springs eternal in the human breast, but it is equally ceriaiu-OiHt rfiuutllike8.-to'be'.t'jgWejirt-jHj)mhMtle thrill of menace around him. Else, why the interest with which he reads prophecies of world destruction, why the gusto with which forecasts of world-wrecking wars are swallowed, why the weight given to prophecies of economic upheaval and cataclysm? The most reasonable answer to this question is that man likes such prophecies because of the joy that he derives from their failure, lie is secretly confident of escape from whatever besets him, and, by that token, he likes to be tricked into believing that the peril from which he will escape is of the direst. Unfortunately he fails to realize that by giving ear to the prophecy of economic calamities, he. makes it more possible.

Knuppon. Mr. Knappen begins by pointing out that up to now our home market has been expanding fast enough to care for the ever-increasing pro ductivity or American factories. ; Between 1S10 and 11)00 our jiopulation increased bv 13.- ' (HHl.OlK). Between l'.)00 and l'JU) the figure was the same. Between 1910 and l'.iUO the increase was lli.Oi 1(1,000. But for the decade just ended it prolnil.ly will not be alxvc 10,000,000, and in the future it will be progressively less, so this writer thinks. The reasons for this deciva.se arc simple. W'e have cut down our immigration stream to a mere trickle; and our birthrate is rapidly falling. The decade 191W-19 So probably will see a population increase of about 5,(i.',XH'. and by I'M) the country's population is expttted by Mr. Kimppen to be stabilized in the neigh)Hrhixd of 16o.it.H.iMM.i tse-.-ple. All of this, as Mr. Knappen poinU out. means tliat the productivity of industry is now increasing more i,.p;riiy than the size of the home market--a situation r.ever U'fo're en countered in America. If American manufacturers ale not to find thenvselvcs with a c..n.staiu!.v-inciva.sing sin plus on their hands, they must lmd broader market overstate to take care of this surplus. lhe furmer, Mr. Uuuppcn i condition largely because of productivity has increased at lacking a market abroad Unless industry cultivates the foreign market, it ine same ixal in a lew years. Luckily, there are signs that the job is ;d ready U-mg tackled. Ameiican liusines is served by brains, enetgy and vision. Trade relations with Smth America itu- U-n:g active ly cultivated. The Oiient is ngaided as a gnat potential buyer with pai ticular significance for the future . f tlie Pacific Coast. Only one thing smh'I.s the jnospect. To devel.-p foreign markets means not only the .selling of our pi-xiucls but the buying of foreign products. Only by literal trade can fvuvign buying power le maintained. We must not overlook the necessity lor greater Use of law materials front abroad if wc are to expect their greater use of our finished produeis.
