i '-V .f Wednesday, December t ItiVY AERONAUTS STUDY PLANS OF : FLYING PACIFIC : S HONOLULU W While the saga- of world aviation Is belnp written over the Atlantic, United States navy aero, naute on ft tiny Island In Pearl Har--bor are preparing quietly against the day when- the spotlight swings to ward' the Orient. With tho- conquest of the Atlantic well' undo way; spurred by the' Balbo flights, the Graf Zeppelin's cruises . nd: Colonel Lindbergh's oceanlo Jaurtts, lt' ls believed renewed avia tion" Interest Is due next In the Pacific area. -' Kcudromcs Needed x; Announcement of plans for a string '.-. ' of' floating seadromes across the At lantlc revived Interest here In Pacific air" routes. Because of the unbroken' A stretches of water between America V and Asia artificial landing" places would be necessary, It Is hcldi until the flying radius of planes Is cx " tended. . 7 i Against advantages of shorter dlB tnliccs between Atlantic points, the better weather of Pacific regions Is cited. A- trans-Pacific route by Hon olulu could' expect clear weather vir tually the' year round. ' ' ' Tho Immensity of the Pacific would t make artificial breaks in the Journey necessary with present planes. A map drawn by navy officers on Ford lsl ' and: Pearl Harbor, and charted with possible routes shows that a hop. of - gt; least 23 hours would be required on any America-Asia route at pre . vailing commercial traffic speed. I- Two' Main Houtes Using the Aleutian islands for re fueling bases, local' naval authorities "T .'.estimate ft commercial plane could fly front Puget 6ound to Yokohama . In- 47 hours with two stops, one at Uiialoska, 17 : hours out P Puget Sound and tho other at klska. f ' Tho only other route providing nat ural' mltl-ocean bases would require : ' 60' hours. This was computed as 23 hours from San Francisco to Hawalii 13 hours from Ho wail to Midway Isl- andi 34' hours from Midway to the Bonin Islands and six hours from the Bonlns to Yokohama. The Philippines could be linked to the' southern route by a 17-hour 'flight from Bonin to Manila; or-18 hours from Manila to Yokohama. jThis route , from San Franclaoo to Manila would be slightly shorter than ?Irom San Francisco to Hawalli-to the Marshall Islands, to Ouam and Ma- '-.nlllk. The navy's computations' are based on' commercial1 possibilities, not mul ctary. The commercial plane's range may be estltmatod as ltB farthest cx tent, bdt the military flier must fig ' uro not: only on reaching his destina i tlon but also on returning home, , : non-stop.

(JP) Salt) water flowing through Inlets cut by;' last summer's hurricanes threatens to causo a food shortage for wild ducks, geese and swan that hayo come to Back Bay and Currituck Sound in greater numbers than usual. Orin D. Steele, biological surveyor of- the United States: department of agriculture, has Just completed in spection of those choice feeding grounds and he was alarmed at the scarcity of flora. "Game is more plentiful right now than it has been in two years but I don't know how long that will be so," he said. ' "I' found a scarcity of food in Currituck Sound and Back Bay and there are many other places where there Is little or no food." On every hand residents told him of- the new Inlets letting In sea water .that kills grass and wild celery, main stays of the migratory fowls' winter larder."

Peterson STOqftttOLM () Sweden, after two years' experience with a program of managed currency; now watches the monetary experiments of - the Roosevelt administration with great interest. Swedish financial leaders and gov ernment officials firmly decline to draw any parallel between their ef-l forts and the situation In the United States. The Swedish" program, they to slst, Is so influenced by factors and circumstances more or less peculiar to Sweden that It Is impossible to gauge tlie success or failure, advan tages or ahortcomlngo of a similar program In any other country. - . v 1 In the squat atone building of the Central. Bank of Sweden, Which (hV recta the Swedish monetary policy,' responsible only to the parliament and not to the government proper, the, Impression: to; bo gained la . that there is. no exact, formula, no. clear method that can- be . deduced from Sweden's, experience and applied elsewhere. People-Keep Cool V- "Tar understand the" Swedish mon etary - policy,' explains a govern ment official," "one first must give due- consideration to the Swedish temperament. "The- Swedish public has a marked disinclination, to ' become panicky, Is not Inclined to hoard,' Is unusually- compact and homogene ous and- willing to cooperate and has undeniable confidence ;ln the banking" system and credit structure of the nation." Moreover,.- It Is pointed out, the Swedish monetary program never has been involved' In political hue and cry. i Against this background, govern ment officials explain,, it has been possible for Sweden to develop a monetary policy which has had', tho1 maintenance of a general level of commodity- prices as the standard' for regulating the value of the cur rency as a substitute for gold which Sweden dropped In Septemr ber, 1031, following the lead of Eng land;. Results, ltr Is held here,: and as shown by1 statistical evidence, have been good; The Swedish krona has practically the same purchasing power as two years ago. Individual commodity prices have fluctuated, especially In agriculture, but in- the general- lever of prices, proponents of the policy assert, stabilization has been obtained. - The standard of living has been maintained, wages have been, cut only moderately and in her eco nomic life as a whole Sweden can, of late, claim a distinct improve ment, Avoid- Gold- Healings In contrast, to the present pro gram of the Roosevelt administra tion,' financial" writers? hero observe, Sweden) has concentrated , largely by necessity, on price control through amount and turnover of credit, rath er than by devaluation, of thekrona or by- manipulation of- gold. Limited in size, Sweden has ' had to pursue a strictly domestic policy on the theory that prices as a group could be. made to react favorably, s SUGGESTIONS! 3 .

If the Internal purchasing power of tho krona could be maintained. The program thus has bean against any depreciation of the foreign exchange value of the krona with a view to Internationa) trade advantages. Since June of this year, moreover, the policy has been, formally, if not actually, the securing of a moderate rise In price levels. A survey shows that In August, 1931 before Sweden left the gold standard, the of flolai price Index was 109 taking 1913 as a base of 100. In September this dropped to 107. m August and September, 1932, the figures, were ICR and 110, ' Prices then began to fall and In March of this year touched. 104. A committee of experts then was formed and in June decided that the policy would, If necessary,- Include an effort to force a restricted rise in prices. So far, however,; no active measures have been taken In this direction, this being entirely at the discretion of the Central. Bank. For September Just past the Index was 109, , ' ' ' Three PolSey Points In its application the policy has Involved: (1) Avoidance of any ap preciation of Swedish currency; (2) creation, oi an eaBy money; marKer; inrougn purcnase aim eaie oi lor elgn exchange, through adjustment of the rediscount rate, and through (nmwtm.ttafi nt nrtvntn hanlra n.nrt (3 maintaining' the confidence ot' the public la the nation's banking' and credit structure, f. The Central Bank, It Is under stood, has had no exact formula In carrying out this) . program, being guided at all times- by developing circumstances. - For a: time, the krona was- held to a middle course between trie dol lar; and the pound sterling, but of late it has been permitted to follow the pound sterling; more closely. Manipulation?, of the- discount rate, as a means of creating ( leverage for purchasing power and as a weapon against Inflation, also has been an Important part of the Swedish sys tern, At the time of gold" suspension the rate was raised to 8 per cent to check any inflationary tenden cies and then reduced to stimulate credit. It now stands at 2.S per cent. .'Bank Reserves Increased , Through purchases of foreign ex change the Central Bonk has been From September, 1931, to Septem I ber, 1933, 'foreign exchange holdings ' increased from approximately 33 million kroner to 342 millions and' gold- holdings from 199 millions to 378 millions, giving more than 100 per, cent coverage to a note circula tion of approximately 680 millions., I Sweden's private banks have played an Important role, at one time car rying non-interest-bearlng deposits totalling 400 million kroner in the Central Bank as a stability cudgel. With practically all the branch bank ing conducted by four bankB, coopera tion with the Central Bank has been facilitated. Future Policy In Doubt 1 There is divergence of opinion In Sweden as to how much credit can be given to the "managed currency" as such for aiding . tho economic status of tho kingdoms and. there are hints that a return to gold will be welcomed. According to Prof, Erik Ltndahl, who directed prepara tion of a new consumption price index, Sweden's, price stability has been strongly Influenced by "diverg ing price movements counteracting one another," thus creating a gen eral stability."
