WASmNOTOW (UP) President
ftooeevelVs fishing trip in 1885 re
sulted In the dlioorery that on of
the principal lilsnds of the Bahamas
group was "mieplaoed" on all exit
ing map of the area, gorernment
hydrographic experts hare Just re
Tealed. The discovery, later confirmed by
British authorltlea, corrected an etror
which had prevailed on mapi and In
ailing charta for about 400 years.
The disclosure was made by war
ships which had accompanied Mr.
Roosevelt on hU cruise off the south
eastern coast of Florida.
While the president was fishing
among the numerous islands of the
group, several destroyers were cruis
ing around Oreat Bahama Island, an
Irregular piece of land about 85 miles
due east of Palm Beach. It runs In
a general eaat and west direction. ,
At the extreme western tip of the
Island Is Settlement Point light.
Another light, called the Southwest
Point light, Is located on the south
ernmost point of the Island.
During the survey It was found
that the distance between the two
lights did not tally with the mileage
on maps.
To check the observation, a ship
was sent from one light to the other
and back again. The mileage was
recorded on each run to allow for
error.
It was found, by checking the lati
tude and longitude, that Settlement
Point light was correctly placed but
the Southwest Point light was actu
ally about five miles west northwest
of the position on maps.
This error had made the distances
between the lights longer than they
actually were and had thrown the
whole Island out of position on the
maps.
Most maps of this area now con
tain a note overprinted beside the
Island calling attention to the dis
crepancy. Sailing directions point out
that the distances between the two
lights is lees than charted and warn
mariners that "caution should be
exercised when navigating In this
vicinity.
Marine experts here said they knew
of no disasters In this area.
The waters about the island are
not traveled much except by small
craft.

newly elected to a high position; that
as a member of Secretary of Com
merce Daniel Roper's business sdvts
ory council he had already been ac
tive In government-business desltngfl.
and that he planned to be active In
the future. Therefore, he said. It
would seem presumptuous In htm to
do anything more.
One Important point In the new
klss-and-make-up program In which
Mr. Btettlnlua will Join Is a busi
ness advisory council statement back
ing up the friendly words of tho co
operative 10. And It Is possible that
Mr. Stettin lus may also take the air,
along with a dozen or so other busi
ness men of like stature, In a sort
of government-business radio forum
which is now being planned.
If the klas-and -make-up program
goes through, and It Is to the In
terest of every wage-earner In this
country that It should, all sorts of
additional gestures of friendship will
be made on both sides. The' White
House will butter the business men,
and more business men will butter
the White House.
Ordinarily the prospect of such a
"you grease me and I'll grease you"
commerce would be rather funny,
but this happens to be a time when
raw wounds on bofh sides need a
little grease to cover them. And tf
the grease Is withheld on either side,
the wounds will only ache the more,
and the quarrel between business and
the administration will grow more
disastrously bitter.
Fortunately, what has been done to
date has been well received at the
White House. The president very
definitely approved the business lead
ers' statement, and his emissaries are
now In close touch with the men
who are pushing the klss-and-make-up
program forward.
The president's brother-in-law. O.
Halt Roosevelt, who Is also an officer
of the Ford-controlled Commercial
Credit company, was, of course, re
sponsible for bringing Mr. Ford and
the president together. But to Com
mlMloner Hanes must go the chief
credit for the rather daring notion
that business snd the New Deal might
be able to kiss and make up.
The effort to bring the New Deal
and business together depended, in
the first Instance, on the tone of
the president's recent message to con
gress snd fireside chat. When It was
certain that the tone would be con
ciliatory, which was when copies of
the two state papers were distributed
and not before, the pace-makers set
to work at once.
The Idea of a friendly statement
from business leaders had long been
In the air. It was not, however, until
last Sunday that Mr. Hanes began
recruiting statement makers. He
started with the group of men whom
his friends In the New Deal consid
ered most obstinately hostile. Only
when he had persuaded these angry
fellows to sign on the dotted line,
he broadened his effort.
Tha amount of Ur. Hanes tele
phone bills for Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday must be quite appalling.
Some of the recruiting work was done
by first joiners, but ha bad to carry
tha brunt. More, the statement was
written cooperatively, and every time
Owen D. Toung had a suggestion In
New York, Robert H. Cabell had to
be telephoned for an O. K. at Armour
& Company In Chicago.
The statement was originated, writ
ten, signed and finished In 60 hours.
Zt was a hasty flrat step, but If there
are others like It, It was an Immense
ly important one.
