These, and more enter into the picture of the future descriptions of the globe. We will have to know more about the South Sea Islands, their resources, peoples, and the opportuni ties for commerce, routes of transportation by sea and air. We will need to know much more about Russia, China, Africa, and closer at home the South American countries, and the Indies. These coun tries have many things that we need and we will have much they will need. With a better knowledge of these countries, their products, methods, and stand ards of living, through the elimination of great dis tances through air, our opportunities for expansion in trade will be almost unlimited. Geographic stud ies, and also work of the weather bureau service, will likewise be faced with unlimited demands to meet the requirements of a new world. In our old geographies we studied about the Japan current and the Gulf stream. Now we must know about air currents and courses overhead from coun try to country. The airplane will not take the course around the world but will go over the top, or cross the sector or axis, rather than the global circles. Every country is coming nearer and nearer, by short cuts and speed. Instead of tracing railroads and high ways and boat lines on the maps, the geographer must find his lines in the strathosphere. Our geographers must also locate our naval, air and commercial bases, and we hope there will be many in our sphere of influence. We hope, at least, there will be enough that the coming period of peace will not be harrassed by wars, and that our influence will be so benign and powerful that the present day catastrophe cannot return for us or our millions yet unborn.
