CHARLOTTETOWN, children And conflict at Law: I One of the last Canadian cases to come before the Privy Council establishes an ex- ception to the general rule of conflict of laws'cases in respect of children. The case, McKee v. McKee, is fully commented upon in Chitty's Law Journal but it establishes: in essence that where children are con- cerned, a court having jurisdiction to con- sider the question of custody (in this case an Ontario court) is not bound by the de- cision of another court although competent but must reach an independent decision .based on the welfare of the infant. All the circumstances must be given weight, of course, including the fact of the foreign court's ruling but that ruling can-- not be accepted as automatically determ- ining the issue. . It is certainly desirable that when -. competent court decides a question that the decision be upheld by courts every- where, but few laymen will find fault with the Privy ,Council for upholding the trial judge in insisting that ordinary rules of Private International Law, as it is some- times called, should be subordinate to the welfare of the child as it appears to the court itself. FRIDAY. JULY 11. 1951 credit Policy Ottawa's policy of credit restriction is based on the fact that it is impossible to divert a large proportion of available man- power and resources to the service of pre- paredness while at the same time going in for large scale civilian production. There comes a point where manpower must be allocated to either the one or the other and excessive industrial expansion must be curtailed in order not to hamper the national effort. What is apt to be overlooked, however, is that some areas are far more fully de- veloped than others. There are sections which have lagged in industrialization, in- . eluding this Province, which would be able ' to contribute more rather than less to the nation's strength if they were able to build up plant, equipment and skills with their available resources. Inflexible credit restrictions prevent such development and in fact favor areas where industry has been able to accum- ulate reserves of capital for further ex- pansion. A truly national policy would take account of such variation and en- courage borrowing for industry where It would merely take up slack rather than i cut into essential production. Meteorlc craters A vast crater presumably blasted out of the Ungava territory,.by the impact of a meteorite is now the subject of invest- igation by an expedition sponsored by the Royal Ontario museum and the National Geographic society. It is reported that the crater is more than twice the diameter of? the huge excavation in Southerp Arizona which has been attributed to a similar cause. What lends special interest to the Cana- dian discovery, says the Winnipeg Free Press, is the fact that U. S. scientists have . recently been able to shed fresh light on 1 ; the Arizona phenomenon. While the meteorite theory -has long been generally accepted. attempts extending over half a century to locate the central meteoric mass have always ended in frustration. Several tons of small iron fragments have, it is true, been collected around the edge of 1,, 1'. the crater but nothing approaching or even "5 suggesting the 3,000,000 ton iron" sphere f , which is supposed to have tom the hole in the southern Arizona desert. Geophys- fcsl surveys and the sinking of two ex- ploratory holes hsvs not solved the mystery of the crater. Tworcoentdiscovel-iesbyDr.H.H.

These iron particles are for the most part spherical, suggesting that they were formed from the molten state in the hurtling mass. As they cooled in air,'sur- face oxidation provided a protective sur- face, preserving the lion and preventing rust which would have reddened the soil in the vicinity of the crater. internally the particles which are composed of iron true meteoric structure. The revised theory is therefore as fol- lows. The crater was in all probability formed by meteoric concussion. Prior to collision with the earth the original solid mass had however been shattered into a great storm of metallic pieces forming a core. Surrounding this was a cloud of molten drops blown from the incandescent surfaces of the iron masses. Examination of the Canadian crater may yield evidence that the even greater force which is said to have gouged 5,000,000,000 tons of granite from the corner of the earth's crust was of similar character to the inter-stellar blast which shook Arizona at some unknown point in time. Life Insurance One of the good things about the pre- sent boom, notes an exchange, is that sales of life insurance have greatly increased The life underwriters in a statement just issued announce that life insurance in force in this country on July 1 reached an all than double the figure of 1941. In a decade our people have provided them- selves with twice the protection of only ten short years ago. New life insurance put in force in the first six months of. this year was not far short of SS1,000,000,000, an advance of about c175,000,000 over the first half of 1950. Here is convincing proof that the virtfle of thrift is still being practised; for life insurance is more than protection for the family of the insured. It is a means of sav- ing against the needs of the future EDITORIAL NOTES The four largest cities in Scotland, Edin- burgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee ac- count for 1,916,372 or 37.6 per cent of the total population of 5,095,969.

Their advertising does not give the slightest intimation that the prospect might be asked to spend money-rather does it carefully hint that the business whose reputation they are tempor- arily using. are paying for it all. Their own name-if they have one -is noticeable by its absence. The photographs are taken, proofs are shown, the expressions may even be fairly good-but It is not possible to judge the quality of a finished photograph from a proof. The pressure is turned on- us those who may have planned to take only the "free" one soon find out.
