AIR MAIL DEFICIT
When the federal government first
subsidized commercial aviation by
paying airtransport lines, for the de
livers of mail more than the govern
ment received for carrying that mail,
it was expected that some day the air
transports would be self-supporting
and able to carry mail at a profit for
the government, or at least at cost.
Postmaster General Brown and
his assistant in charge of the air
mail. W. Irving Glover, have just
told the air contractors of the gov
ernment's dissatisfaction with the
progress thus far made in the effi
cient and economical operation of
mail planes. They also expect the
contractors to go out and get more
air mail to carry.
These are not unfair demands on
the part of the postoffice department.
Of its annual deficit $20,000,000 is
occasioned by air-mail contracts.
Moreover, it is the department which
must go to congress for the money
to make up this deficit, or in other
words, fight the battles of the air
mail carriers. Congress has been
generous in this subsidization, but
it expects results.
Perhaps the air transports have
done all they can to make the service
they render efficient and economical.
If that is true, then it is up to the
public if it wants fast mail delivery,
to patronize the air mail better than
it has in the past. It is a preferred
servce which may have to be main
tained by more general use for ordi
nary mail. Once the volume of mail
i equals the capacity of the facilities
; the air mail will cease to be a bur-
den upon the government.

MR. RASKOB SHOULD RESIGN
John J. Raskob has outlived his
usefulness to the Democratic party.
The gentleman regards business as
sacrosanct. His solicitude for the
I public utilities is touching. The
stock market is holy ground to be
Jspoken of with reference. Regulation
is heresy. The pure of heat will ut
tei no word of criticism, lest cred:.
that tender bloom, wilt and droop
and perish. Hands off. Eyes abut.
That is the policy Mr. Raskob would
have the Government adopt as re
gards business.
It is not an untried policy. It baa
been in continuous operation for 10
years. Since Wood row Wilson left
the White House the Government
has practiced what Mr. Raskob now
preaches. The results of that policy
stretch before our eyes in every di
rection. Business unregulated has
done to itself what regulation never
did.
Mr. Raskob is quite right in suy
ing that "it is not the duty of the
Democratic party to engage in at
tacks upon business" in "ill-founded,
miscellaneous attacks promoted
for partisan purposes." With equal
truth and equal originality Mr. Ras
kob might have said that it is not
the duty of the Iemocratic party to
set fire to the White House. For a
certainty, it is not the duty of the
Democratic party to play the role of
arrant demagogue which Mr. Raskuu
seemingly fears it is likely to do. It
is Mr. Raskob's privilage and right,
of course, to entertain such fears as
he will; but it is not the right of the
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee to suspect the Iemoc:atie
party of any such imbecilic intent or
to warn it against any such idiocy.
The Democratic party is profuse
ly committed to the principal of
equal opportunity for all. special
privileges to none. That principle is
the life blood of our American dem
ocracy. Once surrendered, the great
experiment in popular governmei.t
has failed.
Mr. Raskob has. in effect, asked
the Democratic party to surrender
that principle. Kis resignation as
chairman is in order. St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

ON LEAVING THE SENATE
Several Senators stepped out of
public life on March 4. Were they
crushed by the ingratitude of the
proletariat that demoted them to the
ranks? Apparently not. Most of
them accepted the dismissal in the
best manner of the Stoic. One of
them counted his dismissal a joyous
release.
That happy man was Arthur Gould
of Maine. The eloquence of the Sen
at that thunders across the front
page the forensic duels marked here
by the bludSeonings of rage and
there by the rapier thrust of the
polemic artist for Mr. Gould a'.l this
was a "waste of time." "Clack," he
called it. "Confounded clack."
Mr. Pine of Oklahoma spoke in a
gentler key. But there was no re
gret on leaving. Business had made
him an authoritarian. Oil and gas.
banking and glass, have engaged
him. They have taught him the nec
essity of control. No one has con
trol in Washington, he declares, "not
even the President of the United
States." Back in Okmulgee he is the
boss, and the prospect of returning is
altogether pleasing.
So with Mr. Williamson of Ken
tucky. Mr. Phipps of Colorado. Mr.
Brock of Tennessee. All business
men, these ex-Senators, and all con
vinced that there ought to be more
business men in the Senate. Stiil.
with the exception of Mr. Gould,
they have all enjoyed their political
detour, so to speak, and Mr. Brock,
though smilingly eager to get back
to his candy plant, admits "there is
no public office on earth I would
rather hold than that of United States
Senator."
It seems to us those business men
have bowed themselves out rather ad
mirably, all except Mr. Gould. And
it is violating no confidence to re
call an incident in his senatorial ca
reer which might have soured almost
anyone. It was a St. Louis firm, was
it not, that induced him to experi
ment with its products, with luring
promises of comforting results? Some
measure of success attended the ad
venture, but mostly the consequences
were gall and wormwood, or, any
how, vinegar. After that, and the
publicity, Mr. Gould was never the
same Senator nor the same man. We
wish him better luck in the quiet
of his old home town of Presque Isle.
There should be respite and nepenthe
in a town so enchantingly named.

Lasten all ye common people,
horny-handed sons of soil, toilers in

rednecks, and other forms of the pro
letariat: Bear in mind always,

they love voters.

A SCIENTIST'S VISIT
Einstein has come and gone. It
was an extraordinary visit quite un
like those made in late years by
channel swimmers, transatlantic avi
ators, champion prize fighters and
English novelists. Arriving, the
j scientist-pacifist was awed by Amer
ica's unique enthusiasm for a hero,
in whatever realm of endeavor. De
parting, he was a match for the agile
reporters and photographers who had
hounded him across the continent.
Whatever he may have learned
about the universe in California ob
servatories and laboratories. Ein
stein surely learned a great deal
about American character and Am
erican institutions. He was thrown
squarely against them at every turn.
It is unlikely that Americans in
general learned much of psysics from
Einstein's visit. Although news cf
the discovery of a few new themes
of the universe issued from Einstein's
headquarters on the coast, it was not
relativity, not cosmic physical theory,
that interested America.
Rather, it was the simplicity and
charm and reticence of a lovable old
German. With a less appealing per
sonality an equally great physicist
might come and stay a year and g"
without so much as a ripple on the
I surface of America's daily life.
All in all, the visit must be ac
counted a complete success. Most of
jus. who do not understand rele t ivity.
,have become acquainted, at second
hand, to be sure, with a gracious per
jsonality. The few or the relatively
fan who do understand the&e cos
mic mysteries have dealt with the
i German scientist on another plane,
land have profited. Bfl he did.
I And at no time did our visitor de
liver himself of either a flowery eu
, logy or a bitter critique of America
jand things American. This surely is
an achievement in the face of a con
start barrage of questions.
The annual report of the chief
'medical examiner of New York City
