The British government, an-
nouncing its intention to increase
its air fleet more than .200 per
cent. announced also that it would
welcome another international
conference like the recent one at
\Vashington, to consider the hull-
tation of air armament.
England obviously is ready to
build. the biggest fleet in the
world, and just as obviously does
not want. to do so. She serves
shrewd notice on France that. if
France keeps on with her aviation
policy. England will outbuild her:
and England, having the money,
could do it. At the same time
England tactfully bids for Amer-
ican cooperation to help prevent
a frenzied race in air armament
before it gets really started.
This is a congenial role for
America, and something may
come of it. _
If one power is to go ahead, as
France is doing now, creatinga
fleet able to dominate the air.
other powers will have to equal
or surpass her air fleet in self-
defense. This is especially true
of England, because of her proxi-
mity. But the Atlantic Ocean is
no longer a safe barrier against
air invasion. America must build
ariplanes with the rest. And if
it was wise to limit battleships. it
is still wiser now to limit battle-
planes, .

The Hudson Bay company. old-
est and largest of the world's
great trading corporations, has
announced that a Canadian sub-
sidiary of the Standard Oil com-
pany has been authorized to ex-
plore its lands for oil while .an
English group is also planning
extensive prospecting: in sub-Arc-
tic and Arctic America.
There is oil there. Tests by
drilling along the lower Macken-
zie have confirmed the suspicions
encouraged by oil traces along the
North Alaskan coast, but distance
and transportation difficulties
seem likely to prevent large-scale
development, at least for the pres-
ent. Once upon a time, however,
climatic conditions in those parts
were such as to make possible the
growth of the vegetation which
goes to the making of both coal
and petroleum throughout the
greater part of Canada and well
into the archipelago to northward.
The Hudson Bay company is hop-
ing that, some day, there will be
a market for both.
Two centuries and a half ago
the company began the develop-
ment of its Canadian grants, and
ever since it has dominated the
fur trade in what is now the
Dominion. Throughout this peri-
od, too, it has been bfllding a
general commercial business
which has been and still is a tre-
mcndous factor in the Dominion ’5
life. There are, indeed, fewro~
manees of business to match the
record of “The Governor and
Company of Adventurers of Eng-
land Trading into Hudson 's Bay.”
Oil may make the story not only
longer but stranger still.

nc “‘asliington Elm Is Doomed.
(Boston Traveler.)
The famous elm at Cambridge un—
der whose spreading branches Warh-
lngton took command of the Con-
tinental army in 1775 has long ago
ceased to flourish or to be a thing of
beauty. But it is one of the most at.
tractive of our historic monuments at
that. and there will be universal rc-
xret over the news that this elm is
dying.
For the past thirty years. if not
longer. expert. care and attention have
been given the Washington elm.
Everything possible has been done to
preserve its health and to censerve its
strength. But even a noble elm can-
not defy storm and wind and frost. to
say nothing of insect peril, forever.
elm might have fallen long before
this had it not been for the nearness
of the Arnold Arboretum and the in-
terest which Professor Charles S. Sar-
gent of that institution took in saving
it. He new reports that the tree's
vitality has cbbed.
May there not be some way still of
maintaining the aged trunk in place.
by concealed braces and the applica-
tion of preeentative coatings? A mere
remnant of the tree would be more
inspiring to the imagination than any
artificial marker.

(Chlsxo Tribune.)
Senator Royal 3. Copealnd. of New
York. advised. the national wheat
conference to dispose of the 170.000..
000 bushel wheat surplus by gettln‘
every American, with teeth. to eat an-
other allce of bread at each meal. He
probably has figured it. out. The extra
slice might do it. The thing to do is
to set a law. The remedy is a. "bill
for an not entitled an act to amend
an act regulating the meals of citizens
of the United States."
We then should make another pork
chop compulsory. Eat another onion.
another pineapple, another slice of
cold roast beer, another .cheece. an.
other cabbage. another lump of sugar.
Uncle Sam will fill out that slim figure
of his and look like a beer banal—no.
not a beer barrel. He must. not even
think of beer. What we need is more
law.
“Back to School."
(Waterbury. American.)
If we were able to judge only by the
flood of eager rreshmea that descend-
ed upon our American colleges last
fall. we might. Jump to the conclusion
that there is no need to worry leet
American youths should lack a desire
for higher education. But we know
that despite that. remarkable showing
there are thousands of high school
graduates who do not. go to college;
although if they were properly am-
bitious. many of them might. So. too.
we know that even greater number of
grammar school graduates do not so
to high schools. though probably most
eager to do so.
The "Back to School" campaign of
the Rotary clubs of the co try. there~
fore. is certain to reach hundreds of
thoi’ands of youths who need its
stimulating message. Inevitably it
must do much good. The argument
for staying in school so long as one
can is so irrefutable that, presented in
an inspiring way and backed by the
personal touch. it must kindle the
spark of ambitlon in the breast of
many a thoughtless or improperly in-
fluenced child. The effort is especially

. State Comments
Templeton and Inflation
(Springfield Republican.)
There has naturally been criticism
of Gov. Templeton of Connecticut for
his veto of the bill prohibiting the pol-
lution of streams and harbors by the
discharge of waste from factories. He
has many defenders. however. and not
merely among the manufacturers who
opposed the bill. It is pointed cut. for
instance. that the bill imposed r 0 pro-
hibition on the dumping of so
from cities and towns; it aimed only
at the elimination of waste and filth
from manufacturing plants. The bill.
in fact. made only a beginning in the
solution of a large problem. But it
must be seriously asked whether this
beginning was not a desirabla step in
the right direction. Both factories Ind
municipalities must sooner or later
tackle the scientific disposal of new-
age.
