Passenger Planes
To London In Fifteen Hours
For $100
Daily passeuger planes across
the Atlantic will leave London at
4, 6. 8, 10 p.m. and midnight (plus
at least three flights daily from
the Continent). That was the post-
war schedule predicted last week.
Flying time from London to the
U.S. will be 15 hours. In all, some
300 persons a day will fly west-
bound (with an equal number
headed east) in luxury airliners
capable of carrying up to 57 pass-
engers, plus heavy toads of mall
and freight.
This picture of the plane pre-
empting the passenger traffic of
the steamship shortly after the
war was drawn by Edward Pear-
son Warner, former Assistant Sec-
retary of the Navy, now vice
chairman of the Civil Aerouautics
Board.
Said Warner: : " .. . rust as
statesmen and soldiers hare learn-
ed in the past two years to run
back and forth across the Atlan-
tic when there is need of discus-
sion, so in the future businessmen
of London or Birmiugham having
negotiations afoot in New York or
Detroit will board a plane where
once they would have sent a cable-
gram." To all travelers Warner
promised three thing's: (1) reason-
able tares—about $100 each way;
(2) safety.,—a. long-term average of
one fatality per 100,000,000 pass-
enger -miles; (3) dependability --
S1-67 per cent, on schedule flights
in winter, the almost perfect rec-
ord of 99 per cent in summer.
Menace Of Spruce
Sawfly Is Reduced
Agriculture Minister Gardiner
said in the House of Commons
recently that the spruce sawfly,
which has damaged large eastern
lumber stands, appeared to be
under control, with the scourge
gradually being reduced in differ-
ent areas.
Some* 800,000,000 . parasites
which combat the sawfly have
been distributed, and the use of
this method of fighting the pest
had proved successful. Now, the
infestation was being reduced
rather than spreading.
The minister said no means
have been found of combatting
attacks on hardwood tree:: by the
bronze birch borer, but his de-
partment assisted in the salvag-
ing of wood left a., a result of
the insect's activities.

One Road into Fortress Of Europe
Lies Through Salonika and Balkans
In the presently popular game
of guessing where the Allies will
strike against fortress Europe the
Bailouts generally and Salonika in
particular have not been ignored,
states the New York Herald Tri-
buue. A. large fleet of American
Liberators, hitting at Salonika's
airdrome, have just emphasized
the strategic possibilities of the
eastern Mediterranean, already
brought into prominence by dip-
lomatic and sanitary activity in .lite
Near last.
Long Sea Haul
Salonikais a familiar port of
entry into the interior of German -
dominated Europe, It lies at the
mouth of the Vardar Valley, the
most practicable route to the open
comma- of northern Jugoslavia and
the Hungarian plains. A victorious
advance along that line would
jeopardize the whole southern
complex of Axis satellites,—Hun-
gary, Croatia, Rumania and Bul-
garia --and would also liberate
Jugoslavia and Greece, It would
menace Germany's access to Ru-
manian oil and that important ar-
,,, tery of Axis traffic, the Danube,
The uneasy political situation in
the Balkans Could be capitalized
upon by the invaders, who would
also have the aid of guerrilla arm-
ies already in being. 1loreover,
the successful conquest of the
Balkans would open mann possi-
bilities of direct attack upon Ger-
many in a region where such at-
tacks would have immediate re-
percussions upon the fighting in
Russia.
But the Balkans do not fora[ a
comfortable theatereof operations.
The patrclty of communications,
which would hamper Axis defens-
es, would also militate against a
rapid Allied advance. The terrain
which enabled Serb and Greek
guerrillas to keep the field long
atter their lands had been over-
run, offers many possibilities for
effective defensive operations by
the enemy. And Salouika itself.
the best base for an advance into
the Balkaus, lies at the end of a
long sea haul from Alexandria
(800 wiles or more), nearly half
of which is flanked by islands now
in Axis hands.
The Greek Islands
The outer rim ot these island:,
consists in the main of Crete, Sar-
mauto and Rhodes. It is hard to
see how an expedition could reach
Salonika unless this first line of
r Axis defense was eliminated 'with
its facilities for attacks by planes,
light caval vessels and submar-
ines. To what extent the many
islands of the Greek archipelago,
lying north of the first three, have
also been prepared as bases for
harassing convoys, is not known
to the public. To put it mildly,
however, it may be assumed that
Hitler is ready to make naviga-
tion of the route to Salonika dif-
ficult and costly. But if the bases
on Crete and the larger Dodec-
anese Islands are turned against
their present possessors, the less-
er nuisances might be neutralized.
In alI, au attack upon Salonika
is clearly hazardous and complex,
unless Turkey should enter the war
against the Axis or the military
potential of Germany should be
so depleted in the great air battles
over western Europe as to Ieave
the southern flank. ot her Europ-
eau position weakened and over-
extended. Neither of these are
Impossibilities; both intensify the
critical nature of these present
days of preparation and vuspence,

their target. They just keep going,
heading for pre -designated air-
fields at the ends of the England -

straight -lies overland route allows
them to attack targets at any point
along the way without the neces-
sity of flying so many long miles
back home. For example, if a tier -

the round trip would be 1400 miles.
This way the bombers travel 1,250

A Great Victory
For The Chinese
Japanese Fall To Capture
Free China's "Rice Bowl"
While our intentions have beep
focussed elsewhere, says The
Winnipeg Free Press, aur Chinese
allies have fashioned themselves
a victory which May be one of the
most important yet in the war
against Japan. Late in May the
Jape launched a major offensive
into Hunan province in an effort
to capture one of free Chiva's last
remaining rice fields, This is the
area west of Tuukiug Lake. If
this offensive had succeeded,
China might possibly have been
driven out of the war. The crop
in the Tusking Lake rice bowl this
year is a bountiful one. When har-
vested in July it can be used to
nralte up for the food deficiencies
which result from poor crops in
other major rice producing sec.
tions,
fi M •
The Jabs timed their offensive so
as to turn the 5,200 square miles
of rice land into a battlefield and
ruin the harvest, They had in
mind too that it could be developed
into a direct assault on Chung-
king
hungking itself. But the Chinese, show-
ing a new offensive spirit and aid-
ed by the Chinese and American
air forces, stopped the Japs cold
and embarked upon a counter-
offensive of their own, If they
can bold the Jape back for another
mouth, it will give the Chinese
peasants a chance to harvest their
rice and prevent starvation for per-
haps millions this winter.
