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.

greater numbers than usual.
Orin D. Steele, biological surveyor

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

MANAGED SWEDISH
CURRENCY STANDS
TWO YEAR'S TEST
By Elmer W. 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,

and be kept at a desired level. 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." '
