Today Mussolini, of Courao. No Air Monopoly. 77i« Gorilla la Hero. One Mellon Plan. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Mussolini sweeps Italy, which needn't surprise anybody. What the world wants now is strong men that say what they mean and then do it. Mussolini is that kind. Italy knows it. The senate passes a bill, that let us hope, will forever prevent a monopoly of the air by an interest ing group of grafting financiers. The senate declares the air to be “the inalienable possession of the people,” and forbids any license ex tending more than two years. That’s common sense, and it’s a joke on our self government that the air monopoly should have been suggested. Monopoly of land by individuals is bad enough. But that’s neces sary, for you have to work the land. But you don’t have to work the air, that takes care of itself, and it ought to remain free. A gorilla Just arrived, Is living in a fine New York hotel. How it would surprise him if his dull, wor ried brain could realize that the hotel was built, according to Dar win, by the gorillas, a small, feeble tribe of his own relations, weak in muscle, teeth and claws and, there fore, compelled to think, bp^^thinking, they became rulers of e the world. Frederick Landis says that this country, instead of admitting gorillas that come here to die of homesickness, ought to admit more of the right kind of European im migrants that would come here to build up the United States and live. Secretary Mellon’s tax plan would save $300,000,000 a year for 20 years—$6,000,000,000 altogeth er. That fact is called to the atten tion of the gentlemen now nagging the secretary of the treasury, one of the most useful servants that this country has ever secured. If the people give liim a chance, Mr. Mellon will put their finances in good shape before he leaves his place. If they don’t want him to do it, they will annoy him. He probably isn’t anxious to work for nothing, plus ingratitude. New York is proud, learning from United States authorities that New York’s port handled more than one-half of the total ocean passen ger traffic of the United States. Seattle, Boston and San Francisco were next. That’s today’s news. How long do you suppose it will be before Miami and Los Angeles both have an ocean traffic bigger than that of which New York is so proud today? This country is only starting and the ft <#Rlly big ports and cities are still to find their place. Two Americans were killed by Albanian brigands. The govern ment of Albania expresses surprise and says it is something entirely new. But it isn’t quite new. The late Albert Brisbane, a citizen of New York, traveling from Berlin to Athens on horseback with two serv ants, a little more than 90 years ago, was obliged when he passed through Albania to ride in the heat of the day when the brigands were asleep, and in spite of all precau tions, he once narrowly escaped the brigands that hunted strangers with big bearhounds. The German plan is out, you will read a sketch of it in the news paper. The allies will put a blan ket mortgage of 2,500,000,000 of gold dollars on German industries, real estate and so on-—property of private individuals and corpora tions. Germany will be expected to re form her budget system and pay 600,000,0000 gold dollars a year, after a certain resting period. It sounds encouraging—for those that want money from Germany. But it all depends on what happens in Europe. Some unpleasant move ment on the part of the Russian bear and the whole scheme would be overturned, with western Europe hiring Germany to keep the Rus sians in order. “Old Earth” of ours is still young and troublesome and hasn’t settled down. In Spain the houses of a village are mysteriously sinking fc^lnto the ground. And England is " TSrried by severe earthquake ihocka in the coal mining districts. Compared with the size of the earth ',hese little settlings are nothing, but compared with the size of man 'hey are gigantic. Those that rule the oil market lay there won’t be any big advance In gasoline prices this spring “be cause muddy roads will hold down the price.” Muddy roads diminish automobiling. Less automobiling means smaller demand for gas, and smaller demand means that the rulers don’t put up the price. In >ther words, “what will the traffic bear,” not what' does the gasoline •ost, is the important question. (Copyright, 1824.)
