It means caring for, making the most of, preventing the wastevoi. our natural resources. The wisdom of conserv- ing our natural resources will not be questioned by the most lthoughtlcss. All will agree that, wherever possible, our soil fertility sllould be maintained; that provision should be made to have another tree grow where a tree has been cut down; that where we remove oysters from an arell=ln our bays or rivers, provision should be made to have others take their place, and so cn through the whole round'of`our natural resources.

But we make a serious mistake when we limit our

natural resources to the things of the soil. the earth, the air, the sea. Our most valuable natural resources are our men and women, our boys and girls. And yet on the con- servation of these our Royal Commissions and our expert conservationists have little-,if allyllling,to say. We are tall- ing inlinite care of our foxes, have redeemed them from the wild and have engaged veterinaries, pathologists, bacieriologists &c., &c., to teach us how to rear and feed them; we have experts to teach its how to care for our liorsos. oilr coivs, our swine. our liens, and to get the most usefulness and profit out of them; but ol' the children, whose pnrcnls perhaps know less about training and feed- ing them for llsefillliess than the fox rancher knows about rearing foxes. less than the herd knows about caving for cattle and swine. we hear scarcely a word.

Alld yet, dowll among those whose parclits know so

little, or who have not the means to train or even to pro- perly feed llieir children, there may be seine “Village llampdens." “some mute illglorious i\liltolls,” some par- llmentarinlis, some leaders of men. scme inventors, who needed but to bc discovered and trained to he converted into forces that would have cnriclletl the world. How many of these are lost will never be kllown. Of the few who are

__ discovered and who have tilrlled out blessings to the world thorn are many records; ol' those who have lived

and whom we failed lo discover before tlicy were carried

away into thc lnaclslroill ol' ltselcssness mill lvorso there is n`ot a word.

The conservation of those would not bo :l serious bur- den. lil this province of ours every child in which is en-

The chief grounds of objection are that the sum mentioned is inadequate to ef- fect any great purpose in the shipping trade of the world, that conditions affecting the operation of ships under the |U. S. flag would not be made less onerous by Government lownership, and that the scheme would mean an annual loss. There is also advanced the standard objection that government methods of operation are not adapted to the requirements of a keenly competitive business. Commerci- al newspapers generally condemn the project. and tilerc is a strong element in Congress opposed to it on political as well as economical grounds. The chances of tile bill be- coming law are doubtful.

THE WAR AND THE NEWSPAPER

Newspapers like all other respectable institutions

generally refrain from voicing their grievances. When they are "‘ilp against it," they take their medicine without complaint.

Yet. occasionally, one has the courage to speak up.

It is based on tile noisy evidence of the newsboys shrieking "Special War Extra" at tile street corners. lt presupposes the issuing of "Extras" a profitable business for the publishers, as a big run on woollells would be for the manufacturers, or on foodstuffs for the groccrs. Oh yes, the newspapers mllst be just coining money in these war times!

“And yet this war, like every other war-whatever it

may be for the editorial writer with an eye for subjects, or for the news correspondent alert for experiences- is. for the publisher who must provide the money budget, ll haunting horror. War llespatches may supply a new thing in headlines, or a fresh phrase in comment, but war conditions are more disastrous for legitimate newspaper business than for the railways, the department stores or tile stock exchanges. .\lost businessmen in times of stress cut dowll expenses: in war times the daily newspapers _must materially increase expenses for telegraph and cable tolls, for special correspondents, and for other featllres

not required in times 0l` peace. And war, in paralysing the buslness of the country, pnralyzes the advertising power ol'
