It was seventy-two years ago that the area was purchased from Russia for the ccmp.arative- ly trivial sum of $7,200,000. Since then exports of precious metals, lumber, furs, fish and other products have attained a value many times that amount.

Ultimately. the Negro throughout Africa lies with the Negro him- self No education, however wise, no provision, however benevolent, can lead a race to full manhood. The race itself must blaze the trail and must decide to follow it. For the African the present hour is an hour of decision, and he should be ready to meet it with all his senses awake. European and other races will gain a further footing in Africa and extend their influence. and the problem for the African native is to find out how far he will be able to mafntalii himself side by side with the foreigner and compete with him successfully. The African must realize that through all the present change: and those yet to come his future Ls at stake. Tua res agitur: “you are being -weighed in the balance." “However much the European may do for you, the de- cisive thing is what you do for yourself, and still more what you yourself are." In the last resort the fate of the African depends not on the will of the while man but upon what the African hlmm‘. makes of himself, Should leaders arise who are conscious of their responsibility, who succetis in making this responsibility a vital force in those who fol'ow their leadership, then the African will emerge from the upheavals of to- day as a new human being, and the co-operation of white and black will be a blessing to both.— W.

The Jiustralian wool clip for 1939-40 season is expected to be 3.ov)i-.500 bales. of which it is estimated that 2.815.000 bales will be received through brokers’ Stores for offering in Aus- tralia on an estimated average weight of 300 lb. 3. bale. These llg‘lll‘L'S were ziimouiicetl after the annual joint C0llf(‘l't‘llL'(’ of the National Council of \\'ool Selling llrolcers of Australia and the Australian \\'oolgrowers’ Council, The new clip on this basis will be 120,500 bales larger than the clip for 1938-39 season, which was estimated at the June conference last year at 2.97o,0oo bales. The quantity to go through brokers’ stores in the new season at 2,815,000 bales will compare with the original estimate last season of 2,700,- 000 bales, which was subsequently reduced by 50,000 bales. Actual receipts intn store this sea- son up to May 31, however, were 2,680,889 bales.

Complaint is being made in l7.nglarid that medical doctors are ioruiing themselves into a closer corporation than ever, even against the advice of their leaders. Public regard for the medical profession, says The Spectator, will not be increased by the decision of ‘the British Medical Association in conference to refuse to approve the administration by midwives of an anaesthetic or analgesic (nitrous oxide and air) to women in childbirth. The conference has been asked to approve this practice by a resolu- tion of its General Practice Committee, which is high enough authority for believing that mid- wives are competent to administer this method of relieving the pain of childbirth. Doctors, however, have no direct control over midwives, who work under the authority of the Central Midwives Board; but if they regardtthe As- sociation's decision 9.: binding they have the power to give effect to it, since a condition of the administration of an analgesic bv midwives is that it doctor who has seen the patient within; a month certifies that administration will be in- riociioiis. The result, as Dame l.oiiise‘MeIlroy,‘ the well-known gyniiecologist, pointed out, will be that ii vast amount of pain that might be al- levinted will not be, as 60 r ceiitof the bii_'ths

patrols. Nearly every Scotland Yard man was an ordinary police- man first of all. The most noted men the Yard ever had, men like Wensley, Gough, Carling and many others who solved the worst crimes i.ri modem annals, rose from the ranks. They won their-spurs as Metropollt-an policemen and were transferred to the Yard. Not long before the war the pro- prietor of a big Lond'oii daily paper who was an Oxford Uni- verslty man himself, conceived the idea of having his report.ng staff almost entirely of oxford University men. He kept a few experienced men—iust in case and dismissed the other reporters. The Oxford reporters did not. last. long. They were all right at straightforward reporting and so- cial affairs, but when sent out on a job that required digging out the facts, often from relucl-ant people, they failed completely. The old reporters were back on their jobs in a few months The good reporter is part detective. After all, in any occupation, there is no more reliable servant than the man who has been train- ed from the ground up and gone through the mill. — St. Thomas Times Journal. -

SHOULD INSULIN OR METR.A- ZOL SHOCK BE GIVEN T0 IVIENTAL l’A'l'll.'.'l\ 1'52’

One of the encouraging signs amid the nervousness and unrest of our times is to see the increas- ing number of patients entering mental hospitals of their own free will. The utual method by which a patient enters ls upon the cer- tificate of two physicians who have examined him independent- ly. And usually it was greatly against the will or desire of the patient himself.. But, just, as we go to a heart specialist or to 1 throat specialist for heart or throat conditions, now it is be- coming almost natural for many with tears, obsessions , delusions, depressions or other nervous symp- toms to go first to the psychia- trist (‘behavior specialist) or to the mental institution where these symptoms are investigated. their cause found and very often cor- rectcd.

However, just as patients with rheumatism, heart disease, asthma. or other ailment sometimes fail to get relief in hospital, so also are there mental patients who do not get rid of their symptoms —fears, timidlty, obsessions. delusions — de,plte careful investigation and treatment in these mental auspi- tlIlS- It is in these slow or chronic cases that the insulin shock and metrazol treatment often gives good results, although it is in the short or more recent cases that brilliant results are ob- tained. Recently the use of mar.- razol in the treatment of cases of deep depression and melancholy has given excellent results .

Perhaps you have a loved one who, recognizing his “pecullari:- les," has willingly entered a men- tal hospital to obtain relief. You may wonder whether or not you should allow this loved one to undergo the convulsions or fits caused by the insulin or metrazol treatment.

You should talk it over with your family physician who, in con- su‘tatlon with the mental hospi- tal physician, will tell you what is best lo do

It must be admitted that 3 great many patients entering men- tal hospitals have been cured be- fore the use of insulin and metre.- zol was known That, is, a num- ber are bound to get better any- way. But when the symptoms re- main stationary or are becoming worse, the patient is entitled to this chance of recovery as provid- ed by this new treatment).
