Hoosier Vagabond

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4 —We could have come on through by plane last night. But we stayed overnight in Denver, partly for the rest, and partly so Wwe could make the Far Western flight in daytime, &nd see things. We took off from Denver at 7:30 in the morning, That Girl and 1 sitting together in a plane again for the first time since our exhausting 24-hour trip from Guatemala last spring. And as we took off, we had the same thought and spoke it almost simultaneously, and it was this—that so many hundreds of times all over this hemisphere we have taken off in these big Douglas planes, at all hours of the day and night, in exactly the same fashion, that it has finally become completely routine to us. I don’t mean we're bored by it, or that we don’t enjoy it. We do enjoy it, for taking off in a plane means we're starting somewhere, and that's what we like best. But the little mechanics of flight over all the airlines are so perfectly standardized, and we've acne it so often, that finally all sensation of excitement or tingle of adventure is gone from it. We flew northwest and picked up the transcontinental airway in mid-Wyoming. We spoke of how disappointing the mountains must be to anyone on his first flight across. Because the airway, like the highway and the railway, picks out that great flatish plateau which makes a shelf across the Rockies in Wyoming. and you hardly know you're in the mountains at all.

The Air Gets Rot

For some reason, we were half an hour late leavSalt Lake City. It seemed but a few minutes until we had fiown clear across Utah. We picked out the auto race course on the white salt flats, and the little town of Wendover on the Nevada line. It was at Wendover I had seen the dawn come tip a few weeks ago on that bus trip across the continent At Wendover the salt flats stop, and the bare, dry. lifeless mountains of Nevada begin. And the very second we hit that dividing line, the air got rough.

We were late getting into Reno. And later still getting out. Because through some mixup we had one too many passengers. It took 15 minutes to figure out who they'd have to throw off. It was a woman, and she was good-natured about it. We climbed up out of the mountain cup in which Reno lies, and the hostess said the pilot was going to take us up right over Lake Tahoe. It is one of the most beautiful sights in America. Three times we banked and circled, right out over the middle of the high, blue lake. I asked the hostess if they did this often. She said, no, hardly ever. 1 asked why, then, were we so favored. And she said she guessed that since we were late anyway, and everything seemed to be going wrong, the pilot just decided to give us a little extra scenery to make up for it. (It is very rare, in these days of flying, for an airline plane tn be late.) ”

Is it in “full” consideration, or in payment on account? To reassure the public that the destroyers would not be surrendered to Germany, Secretary Hull nailed down a commitment from Churchill based on the Prime Minister's June 4 speech to Commons in which, he said the British fleet would, if British waters became untenable, be transferred overseas. But

Times Special Writer VV ASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Our back door is open to attack. We have spent almost half a billion dollars fortifying Hawaii and other far Pacific bases. But Alaska—the shortezt route for invasion—has been left entirely unprotected. No combat planes, no artillery, and only 300 troops. Until a few weeks ago that was the state of our military defense in Alaska. Now the danger of a general war in the Pacific, Japan's belligerent attitude, and the increase in Japanese and Russian bases close to Alaska, have moved our Governmsnt to action in that neglected corner of the Panama-llawan-Alaskan defense triangle. The Army force has just been increased to 1400, which is all that can be cared for until the projected bases are partially completed.

Besides strengthening its Sitka station, the Navy is preparing bases at Kodiak and Unalaska. This is to defend an area onefifth the size of the United States.

HERE are many reasons why Alaska remains almost uninhabited The ‘frozen wasts myth, the old fortune-hunter complex, absentee ownership, lack of capital, unbalanced economy and unemployment, high cost of living, bureaucracy, decline of the pioneer spirit in Americans, and barriers against immigration pioneers—these are a few of the reasons why that land of natural opportunity is unpopulated, The Administration has a settlement plan which authorizes organization of “public-purpose” corporations by American citizens to employ Americans and a limited number of immigrants; and a revision of the present immigration law, as applied to Alaska. for that purpose. But the plan is apparently being killed by opposition of some Alaskan interests and by the belligerent and antirefugee forces in this country And so meanwhile, the Administration is concentrating on the long overdue construction of Alaskan air bases

Fifty over-age destroyers are a small price to pay for the acquisition of these invaluable naval and air bases. It is because this exchange is so much to our advantage that one is tempted to question whether the 80 destroyers are all that Britain expects in payment The people of both countries are entitled to know whether anything else is involved. We are entitied to know whether we have acquired an obligation of kind to extend further aid. The British people not be allowed te build hopes that this deal the United States goes into the war next

Record Should Be Clear

Some people here believe that a sequel to this transaction is to be our entry fully into the war after election. The record should be made clear that no such obligation is involved. We do not want the British people to charge next winter that we have run out on them. In fairness to them it should be recorded that they have no reason to expect us to participate in the war with Germany unless it moves toward our side of the Atlantic.

My Day

CHARLESTON, W. Va.,, On the Train, Tuesday.— Vesterday was a most beautiful day. The air was cool, the sun was warm. We first left the train at Chattahooga, Tenn., and drove to Chickamauga Dam. I had

been there when the President laid the cornerstone, but yesterday it looked like a beautiful lake dotted with white sails. There was a large yacht tied to the dock and several barges in the offing filled with people. Every inch of space on the dam itself was covered with human beings. The President spoke from his car over the radio, and I think very few of the people who waited below could see him. When we drove up, the roads were lined with people. At every little village or crossroads some sight-seers were gathered bearing the sign: “Welcome Mr. President.” Eventually, these great dams mean safety for thousands of homes, which before were under freguent threat of flood. They also mean navigation with cheaper transportation for goods, and cheaper electricity for thousands of homes.. This yardstick has brought the cost of electricity, furnished by private companies, down to a far more reasonable level.

Back on the train after the ceremonies at the dam, we had lunch and were ready to leave the train again at 2 o'clock to drive from Knoxville to Newfound Gap, where the dedication of the Great Smokies Park took place. The drive goes through the most beautiful scenery, I saw no signs of forest fires, or of blights which have killed so many of our trees in other parts of the couptry. There is much virgin timber in these woods, but you have to go a little off the main road to see it. A policy of careful wild life conservation will probably bring back much of the game which has disappeared. I looked with special interest at the people along the route. In the autumn of 1932, IT was with my husband on a trip through Kentucky and a part of Tennessee. It was not a pleasant trip. Too many people looked starved. Too many houses looked unkempt. Too much land was washing into the creeks and rivers. Strange to say, conservation of land and conserva-

tion of people frequently go hand in hand. There is

much conservation of both which still needs to be done where we drove yesterday. But over and over again you will see gulleys where green shrubs and trees are planted, which means that erosion there will stop. I saw few children yesterday who looked hungry or ill clad, as they did eight years ago. Many women still look 60 when they are 30. Life
