GERMANS AFRAID OF TRADE RESTRICTIONS
The reports that Albert Ballin. the great German steamship manager,
committed suicide just before the signing of the armistice has brought pub
lication from far off Sydney. Australia, m what bears internal and external
evidence of being a genuine letter written by Ballin to Dr. Rothenau, a privy
councilor at Berlin, i ti December. 1917. The letter assailed German news
paper articles on "preparedness for embarking on brisk trade and manufaet
hcartening of a war-weary people.
Ballin declared that he had “vainly begged the Berlin authorities not
tc. engage in unrestricted submarine warfare." basing bis opposition not on
moral, but on trade grounds. "In antagonizing America, we have done a dis
astrous /thing," l^e’ plrt, a thing which will throw at cold shadow on our eco
nomical life for a general!ion." He based this on his conception of Americans
as "probably the most idealistic nation on the earth’s surface". But be feared
the effect on Great Britain still more. lb ascribed tin* great growt4**in Ger
man wealth to interocurso with the British empire. "Her home ports, her
dominations and colonies were freely opened to our shippers and traiders," lie
declared. "1 wondered at this generosity and even rallied it folly. Is it to
bo imagined for a moment that those relations will be returned?"
Ballin expected, or ait least pretended t" believe in, German victory,
but he saw only trade disaster ahead. He thus commented on the future:
"With ;i hostile British empire, galled amd fretted with our military success,
raging ait its losses, hopelessly alienated, how are we to procure the raw mat
erial which this empire alone can supply? That great empire is self-contain
ed sind we are not and all the military victories and all the wild will o' the
wisps about ‘Hamburg to Bagdad’ will not help us.”
It is to avert this disaster that Germain leaders are so strenuously <^>
jeeting to any after the war economic barriers, relying on at liberality of spirit
on the part of other peoples which. Teutons would in the fullness of their pow
er have called "folly."
AIRPLANES ON THE FRONTIER
(From the Vancouver World:
If the land area of the globe were divided into seven parts only one of
them would be found mapped with scientific accuracy. There arc millions ot
square miles in Asia, ^Africa. Australia, in the Aortic and Antacrtic and else
where where a surveyor has never used a theodolite.
The airplane will enable scientists in the next fifty years to rectify
this unscientific condition. Preliminary steps are already being taken. Many
expeditions have explored the polar regions in the last 150 years, but the am
ount of map-making knowledge they have brought back has been small.
Peary's and Amundsen’s journeys to the poles were of little scientific value.
They sacrificed everything to the desire to reach a certain spot and return.
A proposal is now on foot to make as comprehensive a survey of the
north polar regions as may be. Captain Bntrlett will probably lead an ex
pedition to Greenland and by means of airplanes conduct survey trips from a
given base .as well as cross the polar regions and photograph them on route.
Xo doubt it will not be long until another expedition will be dispatched
to the south polar regions for simliar work. And there will be great oppor
tunities for surveying Central Asia, at present so little known to the outside
world.
Airplanes will revolutionize survey and exploration work in the near
future. The lessons learned over the German lines in France have not been
learned in vain.
YOU MUST NEVER. FEEL "C © M M O N F L A C . E ”
(By George Matthew Adams.
This is little talk for you who sometimes think that you are just or
dinary. everyday "mo.”
Are things edgewaysing a little? Are you feeling the flowing ebb of
the higher things just a trifle thin? Are you seeming quite a good deal
"commonplace?” That should never be. -
Just think of all you are. But most of all, of what you are able to
he. There is nothing very commonplace about-a real human beifig.
If you think that there is, place you hand upon you heart and feel it
beat. Wonderful! Tap by tap. Each tap a call to service—each tap a sug
gestive something that is able to tell you to do better today—better than yes
terday.
Then, when you walk out into tins open world, keep your eyes open.
