LINDBERGH’S FLIGHT.

TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC AGAIN. ELABORATE”ANTI-CLIMAX. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH —COPYRIGHT.’ (AUSTRALIAN PRESS ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, May 1. The news from America, that Colonel Lindbergh will engage in another Atlantic flight, via Greenland and Iceland. prompts the “Daily Express” editorial)- to tell him that he is making a great mistake. He is planning an anti-climax as elaborate and ’ at the same time as unnecessary and inartistic as any recorded in history. There are two essentials to a. perfect achievement in every walk in life. One is the art of eliminating and the other, is the art of avoiding repetition. Imagine Horatius defending +be bridge, not- once in a lifetime but two or three times a. month. These things once done are clone for ever, as far as- the original author is concerned. Lindbergh's heroic flight belongs to that honoured category.
