You fly over all tboao Inland and Inlet and atra!ta, and the mainland t In placet low and level and a wonderful Dairying Country. It looked to me (tartly like Holland. Wall we wat to (all from Vancouver on the Empre of Rusata In tha morning. 1 had heard along the line that Floyd Gibbon, the Worlds Champion Reporter end Radio Announcer was to be on bla way to Manchuria too. but I waa-elure. Rut when I finally got to Vancouver and Ibcy told me It wa so I waa ticketed to death. Well we shoved off tho next morning about eleven thirty. It looked like a long trip, eleven day to Yokohoma. I am tho world worst Sailor anyhow. 1 get sick before tho boat unties from the dock, but you know 1 says, "1 am going to lick thla, I am going to eat everything they got. drink Well anyhow I stayed with em, and do yon know I kept waiting to get lek, and kinder looking forward to it, and days went by and nothing showed up, and By golly I begin to believe that maty tha old Oklahoma Kid waa a Sailor after all. Then we hit rough weather, and when you hit rough weather on the Pacific, Brother you are encountering some weather. The Atlantic la only a fish bowl. The Captain, and a very fine Capable men, Captain Hosken, really did a great Job of handling that boat in that hurricane; He practically had to stop, then he turned south off our course, as we were not so far off the Aelu-tlaIslands. Thats the one these Aviators try to sail along coming from Japan. Well we waa trying to keep off of em. The waves got so high we lost a lifeboat, washed off one of the top decks. But I was still riding It, and re talnlng beautiful. Why any other trip I was ever on I would bare died. This foolishness kept up with this Ocean for over two days. It was a Chinese Typhoon, that had run Into a Monsoon, that was crossed with Just plain Hurricane, and Oklahoma Norther combined. But I kept eating, and HOW! They gave food on that Line, and they are always passing something, and I was always not letting anything pass me. We had a fine little bunch on board, as travel like all other commodities has been curtailed by Hoover I suppose, and there Is not a whole lot of World travel. Now la the time to go, you are not run over by what One traveler always calls the other Objectionable people. You see everybody is doing the wrong thing when you travel n but you. Read of lot of books. I never was much of a Book reader. I am kinder like A1 Smith, I never read one through. But I knocked off some this trip.

World was his Oyster. He ruled everything from all of China clear to the gates of Vienna, and from the North Pole to Africa, and he did It all horseback. There was a real Buckarro for you. Then I read a book by General Graves about our adventure in Siberia with our Soldiers. He tells, you he was in charge of em and he dont know yet what we sent em over for. Now that its all over and he has been looking up till now, he still dont know what they were doing there. I guess it will go down ns one of the prize Boners of all our foreign Invasions. I want to drop up there to Vladivostok on this trip if I can. You know we have all heard of that place, and I want to get a crack at it. I am anxious to see this Japan and China and all this, and I will write you more about it when we land, which Is right now.

About this time he wrote bis article Concerning the Jews, In which he states he considers them tha most marvelous race th world ever produced. non-virtu- |
