When an inbound qualified ship is 24 to twelve hours outside New York Harbor, her master and chief medical officer radio: "No known or suspected quarantinable disease nor any prevalence of any contagious or highly infectious disease on board...
...transport is its speed. Bugs which would die in an eight-day voyage can survive a two-day flight. Last week, in the December number of the Uni-versity of California Alumni Monthly, an article called Doctors, Insects and Air Routes explained a new harbor hygiene against inbound contagion. To halt immigration of any more such pests as the corn-borer, Japanese beetle or red scale, the U. S. Public Health Service insists that all planes from South America or Asia must be sprayed.

The Cunard-White Star liner Majestic stood off Ambrose Light for two days while her impatient passengers bet on the length of the delay. The Empress of Britain reported more business at the bars during one day's delay than during a whole ten-day cruise. The French liner Champlain stuck briefly...
