WELLS lias n cure fur the world's ills. Tn the current at- unlay Evening Post, lie presents the first installment, origi nally designed as a lecture to American audiences, lint recently iibim dond hecuiise of serious illness. In lirief Mr. Wells proposes u United States of Europe, as the only hope of saving European civilization. Recently returned from a visit to Kitssia, reinforced liy flying trips through (iermany, Kin land, and the Scandinavian countries, the well known British author, paints a disheartening picture of the social and economic collapse. The return of Europe to health and stability, in the writer's opin ion, is impossible, before the obstacles presented by national barriers are removed. Transput-tat inn, the free and unrestricted circulation of food, he deelan-s to be the necessary foundation of recovery, and until the various states of Europe join in a union similar to the union effected at the beginning of the Nineteenth century by the American states, this w ill be impossible. -Mr. Wells has a well established reputation as a prophet. lie un doubtedly possesses one of I he keenest minds in Europe. Nearly all of his pre-war prophecies from airplane warfare to social reactions have been fulfilled. Therefore, whatever lie says, enjoys a back ground of high personal prestige, which commands serious considera tion at the outset. rnfortiinately, however, Mr. Wells thus far ba-s offered prac tical plan for achieving what he declares is essential. With the allies occupying (iermany. with (. recce at war with Turkey, with eastern Europe a veritable hornet's nest of racial antagonisms, national hatreds and prejudices, to suggest a Workable constitution for a United States of Europe, appears at this distance to be a most absurd figment of an overworked imagination. Perhaps subsequent installments will throw some light on tin- mo dus operandi. I'ntil then the only conclusion for the reader who accepts Mr. Wells' premises is that Europe is doomed. The future, even to a casual observer, does look .dark, but the thought intrudes that perhaps even greater forces than Mr. Wells discerns are at work At any rale, this is Easter week. A greater miracle is being com memorated than is rcipiircl t ,i-ing new life to a civilization that seems to be dying. Mr. Wells is strong on brains, nerhans be w weal, on faith.

K. tormina property for auto parking purpofu-s, may or may not bo a wise move ut tlJ timr, but i-citainly Medford must do Honu'thlriK to provide adequate and invitiiiK atTinii modat Ions for nn to tourists or t'ontinue to be the. subject of adverse criticism nnd romim-nt, sin-h as stio 1ms received during the past year. In recent conversation with a Medfordite who, with his family, toured a number of Nt.-itex in iu ! western half of the Tnited States last summer, it was stated ttiat Medtord lias a veritable "black eye" anioiiK auto tourists. Parties returning from their tout of the Pacific coast were regular KUide books of Information, especially as to parking accommodations. These parties were eagerly sought by west bound travelers as to places "worth while" and oampinK facilities. And one of the Keneral injuncltuns was to "beware of Medford, Oregon. Iter parking accommodations are of the very poorest .quality." Such "word of mouth" Information be inn scattered promiscuously i hr li mit the country will do and has done .Medford Incalculable harm. It has done a srent denl to nullify the good work of our conmumity in nrescntim: the advantages and attractions of this city and valley to the outside World and furthermore, it has meant and jill mean the tos ,if thousands ot dollars annually. It should be apparent to every citi zen who has the welfare of .Medfotil at heart that something must be done to remedy t he condit ion complained of. Ami a few thousand, yes. several thousand dollars, could not be used t better advantage. The outlay will come back many fold in a few years to come, for auto touring is a rapidly growing method of pleasure and rec reation, and even business travel And it will be an Invaluable ally in attaining the end for Medford which oiir citizens are so loyally and ener getically striving for. through the fa vorable advertising she will receive.
