The bargains are no longer to be had since the sources of them have been dried up by blockude. The cheerful tri- via of talk must look for loop- holes in the endless argu- ments about war and pre-

earth. Its owner has deter- mined that protection of It shall be neither too late nor too little, though recognising. frankly that it would have been too late from the begin- ning but for Britain's un- paralleled pluck.

paredness, Twice recently I have tra- versed the Panama Canal Zone, by steamer and by train. I have stayed with personal friends nt Cristobal and at Balbon who told all and showed all-that a visi-, tor may hear and see. It is bewildering. It is depress- ing. And it is paradoxically heartening.

The contrast between the Zone of 1911 and the Zone of 1936 is tremendous. Five years ago, when I was here, the whole place seemed plea- santly languorous. Shoppers in their dozens idled along Front Street in Cristobal and Central Avenue in Panama City keeping a weather eye out for bargains in silk shawls and French perfumes. The verandas of the Hotel Washington and the Hotel Tivoli were alive with tourist parties whose talk was agree, ably trivial.

Why Yours Sincerely?

IT is said that in a country where ornaments and sta- tuettes used to be made there were two types of traders.

There were traders who destroyed every imperfect specimen. And there

were

those who faked, artfully covering the flaws, so. that they could sell the ornaments as perfect.

At last the Government inter- vened. The imperfect pieces could be sold for what they would fetch. But every perfect piece must be marked with the two words, "sino cern."

So when we write to a friend and sign ourselves as "Yours sin- cerely." It really means that ours is a flawless friendship.

Few things in life are more in- portant than sincerity.

Amold Bennett used to say that It was the secret of good writing and reading.

Viscount Groy used to say that sincerity is the secret of power in publle speech.

It is helpful to have a good voler, a and presence, cloqueece, ona Imagination. But at the end of the day it is the man on whom we place the words sine cera who is most effective. Eloquence may be good, but character is botter.

Sincerity is important, nol orly in speaking and writing. It is the ̈cement that keeps civillsed society together. Fraud, lying, pretence undermine. ary · community. A country may be rich, and learned, -and strongly' protected by vast military forces, but it will dis Integrate. It it lacks character.

"Good men," to use a phrase of J. M. Barrie, "are the strong rislis that keep the world together,"

Sincerity is also the foundation of the spiritual life. The state of religion ls to be tested not, by-the): number altending churches, but by the number that are of a pura heart.

The heartening side of the picture is seen in United States energy. The visitor cannot see the secret and most important things that are being done, but he cannot fail to see plenty. He notes that his ship is no longer free to traverse the "waterbridge" merely by paying ita tolls but is taken through by the Navy and guarded on every deck by Marines. He looks about him and sees huge sections for the new third set of locks being floated into position a mile away from present locks, 80 cannot that a single bomb damage all. The new

locks will be able to accommodate the Normandie and the Queens Elizabeth and Mary and even larger vessela if such are ever built..

The visitor seca lock nets being bullt, so that explosive mines canrot be "laid" within the locks by hostile ships like eggs of destruction. He secs, on every hand, new military camps and barracks and hos- pitals fairly springing from the soil. He sees

new and enlarged airports, and most interesting of all, the-begin- nings highway.

trans-isthmian

This incipient road, already partly laid out through jun- gle and swamp, is a revolu- tionary thing in itself and shows how rudely Uncle Sam has been jolted from the com- fortable paths of tradition. The highway is not easy to construct, nor is it prohibi- tively hard. There simply has never been a road at this point, for the old gold road, Camino de Oro, on which the treasures of Peru were trans-

amu City to Nombre de Dios.

Long before there was any need of a road where the canal now lies there came a railroad from American en- terprise-to give quicker ae- cess to California's gold fields. This was in 1856. The United States Government has owned "this very profitable rail line since taking over the Zone in 1903 and has rightly assumed that any parallel highway would be competitive and would rob the Government of much needed revenues.

Now

a milltary hand clamps down on Uncle Sam's shoulder and military need

a road- says, "Build me quickly."

I am told, though it seems.

this incredible, that

new highway is to be finished be- fore the end of 1941; and that from the date of opening all motor cars in the Zone will drive to the right. Yes, they drive to the left now as they always have, a believe-it- or-not which Ripley must have used. This anomaly is not due to Anglophile tendencies but to the fact that the first chauffeurs brought in, nearly four de- cades ago, were Jamaican Negroes. Being British sub- jects they were accustomed to left-hand driving.

When the Zono got busy, protecting itself from poten- tial aggressors, it also quite naturally drew closer to its fond guardian, Uncle Sam. In September, 1940, Pan Ameri- can-Grace Airways intro- duced a new strato-clipper service which reduced the fly- ing time between Miami.and the Zone to the almost unbe- lievable span of six and a half. hours. A few weeks later a friend of mine, resident of Lima, Peru, flew up to the Zone to be married. On the morning of his wedding day his bride was breakfasting in Florida, but they were mar- ried all right, and in the Zone, as planned. She flew down after breakfast and they were married after lunch.
