TELEPHONE JJ1 FriTara branch ostKctinf all department MONDAY, MARCH 3. 192g A BECK OR PUBLIC OP1XIOX Efforts of private power Interests to grab Ceven Sisters Falls and with It the domination of the hydro-power situation In Manitoba have not one unnoticed outside the province.

Ontario, enjoying the Inestimable advantages of the Ontario Hydro Inaugurated by Sir Adam Beck, Is watching Manitoba's fight with keen Interest. It Is not alone from a sympathetic interest In the conditions confronting the people of Manitoba that Ontario Is Interested. It is also because Sir Adam Beck's death left the Ontario Hydro without that vital quality of leadership, the genius and burning faith in the project that carried it from one triumph to another and an other. It la still successful, still has the con- fldence of the people; but the need Is felt of someone to rally the people to its support Manitoba needs a Sir Adam Beck, declares the Border Cities' Star, which has had several valuable and informative articles on the Winnipeg River situation. It goes on to declare that Ontario has the same need.

The enemies of Ontario Hydro are working energetically these days. The great international power ring would particularly delight to take over the Ontario system, the most conspicuous of all examples of successful public ownership and operation on a large scale. Nothing that could tend to discredit Ontario Hydro is overlooked. The Toronto Globe carries the comment further: "And if Ontario and Manitoba need a Beck, is the same not true of the other provinces? Saskatchewan is about to adopt legislation taking authority to go into the light and power business as Ontario has done. It will find that it has to beat the private power ring at every turn if It wants to succeed.

Quebec is committed to private development and distribution, and is paying the toll. The longer it continues in this way the more convinced the people will become that they are at a disadvantage as compared with the public ownership plan of Ontario. Any other province which lets the private companies market its power will lind the same contrast in the course of time. "But who is going to stop it if the people do not realize where they are placing themselves? For the time being Manitoba and Saskatchewan have public-spirited men in their governments apparently alive to the situation. There is.

however, nothing in the public ownership hydro for the politician. The current is developed and distributed at cost Once the system is established, it is a matter of keeping it going efficiently, meeting the bonds as they become due and reducing the charges as costs are lowered. Public interest is liable to wane, and the aggressive power circle is always busy uuuumg up lis case. There is, however, a force even greater than the best a Beck can exercise. It is an intelligent well-Informed and wideawake public opinion.

Wmlnpeg is a little sector of the general warfare between private and public power enterprises. Never once, no matter how vigorous the onslaught, have the people of Winnipeg failed to stand up for their own City Hydro when Its Interests were threatened. Never once have they allowed Its interests to be placed in jeopardy. The fact is heartening, in regarding the wider field. The people of Manitoba as a whole may be less quickly responsive, but undoubtedly they hold the same views and the am principles, and will stand by them no less sturdily.

Miss Macphall'i atta'ck upon the Liberal-Progressives recalls a similar attack in British political history In which a preference was expressed for the party true to false principles over the party false to true principles. WIDEXIXO AIR PROJECTS Bert Hinkler'a trip from London to Australia opens up new vistas for air effort. The eimpler form of his craft its lnexpensiveness In first cost and operating charges are in the nature of revelations which the non-technloal mind may easily grasp. That the Australian parliament should recognize Hinkler'a services in aviation development by a substantial money gift is fitting, and that this native son of Australia should be at once furnished with employment in developing aviation utilities is an even better recognition. The field in Australia for Hinkler'a efforts is practically unlimited in enabling a sparse population to get a better grip upon the capacities of the vast insular continent The same Idea is lent force and home application when the plans for contact between Winnipeg and the outlying mining sections are considered.

There is keen vision, and rare progressive enterprise In Immediately providing air services which bring the Flln Flon, the Central Manitoba and the Red Lake areas within easy reach of Winnipeg. When, again, Colonel Lindbergh tells a New York audience of admirers that plans for a trans-continental American air route are already almost overdue, his words are not received with shoulder shrugs and scepticism. They command the respect due to the speaker's wonderful achievements, ranging from the spectacular to the severely practical. Or take the proposal to equip passenger with airplane platforms. Planes carrying mails to and from the shore, from and to the liners, will more than cut the regulation time of ocean crossing in half, This project 13 THE WINNIPEG.

EVENING TRIBUNE, MONDAY; MARCH 5,. 1928 not speculative. It is engaging the attention of organized capital. The day is not far distant when, say. a letter from London received in Winnipeg three or four days after mailing will be regarded as a matter of course.

These demonstrated facts and ambitious projects should afford Canada an incentive to move more quickly in the matter of air transport. There is no valid reason why it should not be done. President Coolidge, according to an Ameri can magazine, is to pay a visit to Ottawa. If he loves silence, as reported, he'd better wait till the session is over. JCELAXDS XEW STATUS Under the Icelandic-Danish agreement of mutual good will full nationality wag agreed upon for the little northern Island in 1918.

Iceland's previous connection with Denmark, as a province or possession, dated from 1813. The island was briefly held by England before the close of the Napoleonic wars, but surrendered then to the Danes. The new national status of 1918 was supplemented by a constitution in 1920. Accepting the personal sovereignity of the Danish King, upper and lower houses of parliament were instituted, with provision for joint sittings. The king was not represented in the island by a viceroy, which necessitated a royal sanction at Copenhagen.

From this fact and a desire to control foreign relations more promptly and completely has arisen the decision to cut clear from an absentee kingship, before the expiration of the term agreed upon In 1918. At that time the limit of the Danish king's rule was mutually terminable in 1940. There is no objection' reported from Copenhagen. The change just announced will put the foreign affairs of the 100,000 islanders on a different basis, Denmark having conducted them hitherto. The change enables Iceland to determine at once upon its future status as ft kingdom or republic.

This step is Involved In the Island's constant and rapid progress since 1918. The free institutions of the Islands from the earliest times and the high mental qualities of the population are traditional. After 1262 the island's vassalage to Norway and Denmark, in turn, in no material way interfered with these attributes. The bonds of kinship characterized their relationship In about the same measure as In the previous days of Icelandic republicanism. Home rule and a liberal constitution were pre served under nominal Scandinavian overlord- ship.

Today the Icelandic men and women vote on equal terms. The franchise calls for no property qualifications. The future Of Iceland under conditions, historical and modern, does not leave much room for speculation! A hardy and intelligent population, Industrious and am bitious have, demonstrated anew their capacity for despite comparative Isolation, limited territory and a small population. Good wishes will go out to them from Manitoba especially. Here Iceland's sons and daugh ters have taken full advantage of the liberty and freedom afforded them In Canada.

A lower income tax means getting capital out of bondage, so to speak. 1IECKLIXG WIVES That prominent American politician who has been refused a divorce in France should have the sympathy of all who share his calling. The, ground upon which the divorce was claimed was that the lady has developed the habit of making fun of her distinguished husband. She has even put htm- with all his idlosyncracies Into a book. The question reduces Itself to this: Should a politician's wife be allowed to heckle her husband? No trial In a life of trials ia more disliked by politicians than the heckler particularly the heckler who happen to be thoroughly well informed.

And who could be better placed than a wife for obtaining inside knowledge of a politician's inadequacies and general weakness? The American gentlemau wife had made him ridiculous, it was charged; and the charge was not disproved. Yet the divorce was not granted. Where is France's gratitude to a nation that helped her to win the war for freedom? To a member of the war government of that nation? To be made ridiculous is a more serious calamity for politicians than for ordinary persons. So much depends upon the front they can put up. There is nothing, apparently, to prevent a politician wife from heckling him at political meetings where he ia soliciting the vote and Influence of the admiring throng.

A most unsporting The heckler is at best a troublesome sort of person who chooses for his exposures the very gathering that has been assembled by the party with so much trouble to do tbelr candidate honor, and to give him a chance to show bis high mettle. The annoying thing about the heckler Is that he persists In asking questions that must be answered. Which puts the candidate for public office more at the mercy of his own wits than he need ever be after he Is elected. But every cloud has a silver lining. If public heckling of politicians by their wives is to be permitted, it may yet be turned to advantage.

Why not employ them as instructed hecklers? If wives know their husband's weaknesses they should also know their strength. Why could they not ask questions at public meetings which would give the husbands a chance to make a crushing retcrt? Of course, nobody must know of the marital reluiiiiudi'ip if the pseudo heckler and the heckled, Such anonimity might be secured at the price of a new hat and cos-tunic. Under such an arrangement both parties to the deal niighi be satisfied lor a time at least Capt. Campbell and His Car Hi reaching New York from Daytona Beach, Florida, Captain Malcolm Campbell described some of the sensations of his record-breaking run. He and his wife sailer) for England on Saturday; and he expects to return next year to enter the lists at Taytona for another anti-record attempt.

The question peopla most frequently ask me," Capt Campbell said, how it feels to ride more than 200 miles an hour while remain ing on the ground. The record established was 206.95 miles an hour," he here injected, "but actually, when I reached the end of the set Capt M. Campbell mile mark, I was travelling at 200 miles an hour. One gets under way from a point four miles back of the start of the test "As you look ahead to the red banners marking the race course, that mile seems of enormous length. When you fly Into it travelling at 205 miles an hour, it seems an age until you finish and flash past the second red banner, "Yet the time for that mile is actually sixteen seconds hardly longer than' it takes to light a cigarette.

"I finished with my revolution counter reading 220 miles an hour. "I'm sure the machine was capable of a much greater speed. It might make 300 milts an hour on a concrete course. "Had I started four and a half miles or five miles behind the course mark we should have attained a greater speed and, of course, a greater record. Ecsides which, conditions were not as good as 1 know they can be in Florida." Then Captain Campbell entered upon a description of his sensations when be lost control after passing the second mark: "I had read somewhere a speculation to the effect that the human brain cannot function, cannot flash messages from mind to muscle when the body'is travelling; at the amazing pace of 300 feet a second.

"In all humility, 1 must contradict this speculation. I was able to regain my controls, decrease my speed very gradually and slow down to 150. 100, 80, 60 and finally to 30 and 25 miles an hour, taking about three miles to do so." As to the perilous moment itself the captain said he left the second mark ut 220 miles per hour. "I gradually decelerated. To my astonishment," he continued, "I ran over a bump, which sent the car catapulting.

Even my goggles were driven to the top of my head. My feet left the controls, and the car went swerving and swaying at that terrific speed into soft sand. For one terrible Instant my finish seamed certain. It was. a narrow escape and I may confess that in all my racing experience I never had so vivid a moment of danger, excepting when once in Denmark my car swerved and almost ran into the spectators.

"But, answering the question as to what a driver thinks about at. more than 200 miles an hour? "The answer is easy. He thinks about himself. Wouldn't you?" Speaking about himself In a modest fashion. Captain Campbell said he should like to dispel any Impression that he is a professional racing driver.

He has always been an, amateur. "Ever since 1905 I have been addicted to this rather dangerous sport of driving mobile machinery as fayt as It will go," he explained. "I have raced on practically all the great speedways of Europe on motor bicycles and in motor cars: world, It was my ambition to go there and seek fresh laurels." He again held that his Clue Bird was capable of a much greater speed, perhaps 300 miles an hour, on a concrete course. At Campbell's, three miles out of London, he has some twelve racing cars and a basement garBge where five mechanics are regularly employed. It was in that garage that the Blue Bird was built, mostly by Captain Campbell, who in business Is a partner in Lloyd's.

Tho Blue Bird, he explained, hart already brokeu a world's record before the Daytona run. Major Seagrave last year took a previous record from Campbell, who had made 175 miles an hour in Wales. Seagrave then went to Florida' and hung up a record of just more than 203 miles an hour. "Ever since he deprived me of the title if there be one as the world's fastest motor car driver, or, at any rate, the driver of tho world's fastest motor car, I have worked over my Blue Eird, re-equipped and reconditioned it with a view to winning back the title.

Tires are built to withstand disintegration of the rubber by heat friction. Water is pumped through the Jacket of the engine to prevent dangerous combu-ition. The wheels have streamlines. In experimenting with designs to -lessen resistance the wind tunnel is used. As little resistance to the air as possible Is offered by a whale-like nose, and at the tail Is an anti-skid fin.

EiTurta haw been made by the provincial government and the Red Cross Society to provide medical service in outlying districts. Five "outpost" nursing stations are maintained by the society. Each of these stations is in charge of a trained nurse, who visits the settlers in an area of as much as 2,000 square miles, and does bed-sldo nursing where necessary.

Every five weeks each of these stations Is visited by a travelling Red Cross doctor, who diagnoses cases and prescribes treatment. Manitoba started the first publio service nursing scheme In America, sending fully trained nurses Into remote sections of the province to give bedside care to the Blck and Injured.

SHAKESPEARE. Ten Years After By C.

But there are many for whom It will never end, many whose fears persist That Is something we others forget peihaps go not know. a In St Boniface hospital there Is a ward devoted to returned soldiers, a place filled with memories of war.

To step Into it is to step back ten years, to reopen the past to see that the dream continues.
