ALARMING CONDITIONS
MANILA P. I., Nov., 18— Opium
smuggling into the Philippine Islands
t rom China, Japan, and British North
Borneo, has grown to such proportions
that customs officials of the Philippine
government have become alarmed.
During the last six months,'secret ser
vice agents have seized opium valued
at approximately $200,000, and they
say this is only a small portion of the
drug which has been brought into the
islands illegally at the ports of Manila,
Iloilo, Cebu, Zamboanga and Jolo.
Secret service operatives declare
they are unable to stop the illegal tra
ffic in opium, morphine and other
drugs with present facilities at their
disposal. A submarine chaser built for
the United States government during
the war was recently brought here on
board a transport and turned over t^
tiie Philippine government. It is the
iatPiUion of the customs service to use
the.speedy craft in patrolling the coast
of- the island of Luzon northward from
Manila Bay as soon as the legislature
provides money for its operation.
Nearly eyery vessel arriving from
Chips and .Japan is closely watched
by wtoms officials. A tug is kept in
service constantly to meet these ships
off Corregidor Island, at the entrance
to Manila Bay, in order to prevent the
smugglers from throwing overboard
their contraband goods which can be
easily picked up by small craft and
transported to the mainland
.While Manila is the most advanta
geous port at which to carry on the il
legal traffic, the vigilance of the of
* fjjciais here has driven many of the
smugglers to the southern islands
where compaatively little difficulty is
experienced m landing the drug. Only

largely originates. .

craft, take shelter in the bays and riv
ers along the North Borneo coast, out
’ of' reach of the coast guard cutter
Which cpn not operate within the three

without detection.
' “Nearly every More on the Island of
tawitswi has become rich through
smuggling opium during the last few
years/' said an official of the secret
service* branch of the customs service.
Two fast cutters are under con
struction for service in the southern
island*, and the Philippine govern
ment has asked Great Britain, through
the state department at Washington,
to allow the customs service to estab
* * ish a base on 'Baguan Island, only a
few miles off the coast of British
North Borneo, from which to work
against the smuggler*. Baguan Island
is One of the Philippine group and was
ended'to the United States by Spain
in the treaty of Paris, but it has con
tinued 'under British' control as it had
* hoen'for many decades prior to Am
** osfcaif occupation of the'Philippines.

Airplane New Factor.
Just as the railroads and the motor
car extended the hour from six miles
to sixty miles, with its consequent
increase in land valties lying within
commuting radius of metropolitan
centers, so too will airplanes am]
flying boats extend the residential
#
and buburban radius from sixty miles
to 200 miles and change real estate
values accordingly.
Men who have summer homes at
Lake George, Cape Cod, and the
eastern end of Long Island, who now'
can only spend week ends at their
country estates because of the rc
ent slow methods of transportation,
will in another year or two com
mute daiy by airplane or flying boat,
because they can cover the distance
in one-third or one-quarter of the
lime now required by the fastest
trains and in perfect safety and with
none of the heat, dust and grime of
land travel.
Busy business men in Chicago will
fly to the lake district in’ Wisconsin,
or across Lake Michigan to some of
the beauty spots of Michigan, 100 01
150 miles away, in about the same
time that is now required to commute
from Highland Park or other sub
urbs twenty or thirty miles away.
The effect on real estate of this new
mode of transportation can be easily
seen.
There are skeptics now as there
were skeptics in the nineties, when
ridiculous little automobiles puffed
feebly along, when prominent bank
ers considered Henry Ford insane be
cause of his statement, at that time,
to the effect that he intended to
build 10,000 automobiles.
There are also a good many op
timists who are preparing through
out the country to profit by the new
order of things aerial transportation
will open to us. In the East hun
dreds of men prominent in finance
and industry, have had their “bap
tism of the air”, and have commuted
from New York to their country
homes 100 or £00 miles away. They
are convinced that the kind of aerial
transportation afforded by flying
boats is safe and practicable, because
so long as you fly over water a con
venient *and safe landing place is
available.
Aerial transportation companies are
already being organised throughout
the country to operate flying boats
for passenger , freight and -mail car
tying purposes. This type of trans
portation offers many advantages
aside from the speed, comfort and
safety of the passenger. To establish
(puck aerial transportation between
two points it is not necessary to ex
pend years in surveying and grading
and invest fortunes in road beds
mridges, terminals, etc., and as soon
as the American public awaken to
the safety and charm of air travel
t ^ #
'there will be a net work of air lines
carrying business Men 100 miles into
the country to tlieir summer homes
and transporting the products of the
farin to the cities in as many hours
as it now requires ih days.
