L.T od ay Ford’s First Air Route. Lamont Studies Italy. Voh Cant Judge Youth. Balfour Escaped. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. '-- j Henry Ford has started his first xegular flying machine route. The first all-metal monoplane of the air route arrived from Dearborn in Chicago yesterday, making the trip in 2 hours, 49 minutes. Having built that one, you can rely on Henry Ford and his son to build 10,000 more. Those 10,000 airplanes will wake up capital, including capital in vested in railroads. The American airship problem will be solved and the country will have protection it needs. Postmaster General New an nounces that all but foreigners will be encouraged to organize flying machine routes and allowed to carry mail under government contracts, as railroads carry it. That is excellent news. Both the postmaster general and President Coolidge are to be congratulated on their effort to establish real fly ing in the United States. Flying machines owned by aliens will be barred by the postoffice au thorities, as we bar alien ships in coastwise trade. Thomas W. Lamont of Morgan * Co., now in Rome, is said to hav^ ^*j(liscussed with Mussolini a consid erable loan to be floated by the Italian government here. Dis patches say that Mr. Lamont is in vestigating “the prospect of Italy's economic future.” Being a very intelligent citizen, Mr. Lamont will have no difficulty in estimating the future of Italy. She has millions of the world's best workers, from men that work faith fully on the land, and in factories to a genius such as Marconi in science, or a man of power in gov ernment like Mussolini.. For 2,000 years and much longer the Italian race has demonstrated its power. Venice, one Italian city, built on a marsh, ruled the commerce of the world. From Rome all the kings and emperors have taken their orders at one time or another. 'Italy produces power of all kinds, Columbus, the naviga tor; Gallileo, celestial genius; Michel Angelo, greatest artist, sculptor and architect that ever lived; Leonardo da Vinci, next to Michel Angelo in art, and beyond him in science; Caesar, in war in comparable; Dante—you can’t very well predict future failure based on such a past. If Mr. Lamont wants to know whether such a country as Italy deserves a loan, his answer is yes, and it ought to be a loan on fair terms with no usurious 7 per cent clause in it. We ought to make a decent, just loan to the country that discovered tos. ^ In Chicago Robert Preston, only 21, jumps to his death in the lake. First he shot himself, and all be cause “life was a failure.” The probability is that he was entirely mistaken. A little more patience and cour age might have brought him real success. Some of the ablest men, and most successful, have contem plated suicide at one time or an other. No man san say he is a failure until death comes and gets him, and even then he can’t be sure. Dying on the island of St. Helena, Napoleon said that if he had liot been beaten at Waterloo, if he had had the good fortune to die in Russia, he would have been called one of the world’s greatest generals and a great success. He thought he was a failure, be cause he was a prisoner of Eng land. Now everybody knows that he was the world’s greatest gen eral and a most extraordinary genius in the accomplishment of his desires. Chicago is trying to select among her boys one that can hope to be the most useful citizen of 1950. Such a selection is impossible. The boy with the best brain in Chicago may seem the dullest, least promis ing today. Newton, the greatest mathemati cal mind ever born on earth, was called dull, when as a mere child he was working out mathematical ^Nbproblems that would have puzzled his teachers. Gibbon, before he wrote his great history of Rome, was considered a gluttonous, unpromising, semi military person. Washington, ss a young man, aftsr ho had undartaken important tasks, declared himself a failure. Demosthenes, greatest of orators, stuttered and stammered as a youth. Lord Balfour is out of Damacus, and safely on his way home. He narrpwly escaped the attack of an Arab mob of 6,000 gathered to be siege his hotel, and was saved by the prompt action of a French gen eral. The noble lord Is hated by the Arabs, because they believe he gave authority in Jerusalem back to the Jews. The strange thing, hard to under stand, is that in Jerusalem, the orthodox Jews boycotted Balfour and would have nothing to do with him, closing their shops when he arrived, as a sign of contempt. They hate him, as do the Arabs. Those well informed say that the very old-fashioned “orthodox Jewish community believe” that Jerusalem should be reserved for praying, repentance and prepara tion for death. They object to the energetic modern Jews, from Amer ica and elsewhere, seeking to es tablish Industries, wipe out malaria, restore fertility by irrigation, and ••0 generally put the country on a paying basis.
