The Missing Link. .v , Richest Country. (Copyright, 1927, by New Tork y Evening Journal, inc.) Mussolini says facism will be permanent. He plans it so there will be '"a place in Italy for each person and each per son will occupy it." That, for tunately, is not so. In such a country, uo Mussolini would be possible. He did not stay in his place, or in the prison to which he was sent, lie began as a so cialist aucl became as powerful a dictator as the w o r 1 d has seen. Cromwell did not stay in his plitwc, so Charles the First lost his. Hanton did not stay in his place, Mirabeau abandoned his place, Robespierre gave up the law, and Louis Sixteenth went via the guillotine. Ability refuses to "stay in its place," and for that rcrtsou there is progress. Don't forget tho flying Frenchmen, Costes and Lebrix, back in Paris from Tokio, fly ing 10,370 miles in six days, with seven stops, sleeping not more than four hours on any night,: sometimes not sleeping at all. Those are real flitirs, . and when they start, w c s t w a v d. across the Atlantic, as- the tojJl.Lloyds will. not .betflgauist h I eir success.- Civilization will begin when K :.. r-:.n,. men cuttc uin m inum.ii., loyal competition, as t h c s)e fliers do, instead of killing each other in war, and cheating each other in business. Roy Chapman Andrews leads an exploring -party from the New York Museum of Natural History to search for the miss ing link in Mongolia. Man's career on this earth is supposed to have begun in Mongolia. It is utore likely, as Haeekel sug rrrtKtu liof it hoo-an in several Iplaees at about the same time, ions races coming up Mouirh evolution, from an- tors quite different. On theory says "the African fee from gorilla the Mon- bl in n race from ourang- tangs. the Caucasian race om chimpaii7.es," the last ani- al being the most intelligent nd, in some way, most . un- leasant of the three. However and wherever wo tnrtcd, it will be hard to find hat missing link between ani- Bnal and man, and bard to identify him, if found. You annot identify the link be- :wecu babyhood and childhood, between childhood and man- Vood. It is all so gradual. We lip from infancy to dolage as le climbed from protoplasm to a s n t forms, with a v .. , nges imperceptible. In Xew Zealand, everything nossible is done for the average man. Workers are protected, public contracts provide for employing older men,, on a friendly basis. Kailroads owned bv the people transport labor ers, seeking work, frctf of charge. If they find the work, they pay their fare. It is no place for a man to get very rich, too many laws protect the average man. It is 'no country for a go-getter American, that wants to get 4js" no matter what happens to others.
