It is an experiment, still in its infancy, bound to stumble and falter and blunder for many years to come. The one overwhelming argu- ment in its favor is that in a hund- red thousand years mankind has Jot found anything permanenfly better and certainly not in the arbitrary tyranny and despotism of Lenin and Mussolini.

As Mr. Beatty says, the world's wheat-growing industry is in the throes of change. But he does not zloubt that “Western Canada, with its rich soil, its sound experience of modern wheat-farming methods. its unrivalled transportation and mar- reting equipment and its whole, high- iitched wheat-producing organiza- Aon, can in the long run face any ra- ionsl form of competition." Meanwhile. says the Vancouver Star, the prairie crisis must be aided over: the farmer must ve relieved - not by uneconomic nostrums. but by measures calculated o enable him to stand on his own ‘eet for the present and to prepare for the future by increasing the effic- iency of his operations, while cutting iown the expense of production. Many Books Despite the world-wide depression, i980 was the most prolific year in the Surplus Army Stocks The distribution of surplus stocks of army clothing by the Department of National Defence came as a welcome Christmas gift and s. seasonable form of relief to the out- of-work and needy in this Dominion. i iviiitcr weather always aggravatesi the hardships of unemployment, for! thc warmer mouths with little shel- ter. and only clothing to cover ones nakedness. show and w-iii- ter the necessity of heavier clothing. To many this is a sufficient storms bring serious problem. The Department can well afford to make such a distribution. At the close of the war, Canada found licr- self wlth a large surplus of clothing supplies on liaiid. So great was this that the pennanent forces of the Do- minion have been equipped from these stocks for the past twelve years. ‘The keeping of this stock in good shape also constitutes quite a history of British publishing, accord- ing to figures recently published in London. A total of 15,393 books was issued during the year, as against 14.- 486 in 1929. "The ill winds of financ- lsl stringency has had a stimulating effect on reading, as can be proved from the statistics of public libraries," it is stated. when money is scarce for other amusements the joys of an armchair and a book are discovered JD: what proportion of the output of the publishing trade during the you was of any permanent value it would be diflicult to detemiine. Fic- tion, it is said, accounted for more than a quarter of the year‘; total, and marked incressa were also shown In technology. history, bio- graphy, science, religion, sociology, the fins arts and travel. No one can deny the value of many of the books in the latter categories, though the tendency to popularize difficult scien- tific, religious and philosophical sub- jects has led to an immense output of literature of little value to the conscientious student. Whether mis- information is better than no infor- mstion at all is a moot questivn- TM past year has seen the publication in Great Britain of some admirable works, but their selection, amid so much that i; flashy and trashy, re- quires both labor and discrimination.

The amount distributed is oi’ thc value of a. quarter of d mil- lion dollars, and consisting of such goods ss heavy winter underwear, service trousers, flannel shirts, socks and sweater Jackets, all of stout workmanship for army use, it should prove s very appropriate form of re- lici’ measures. While it could hardly be classified as beating our swords into plowshares, it is at least turning the garments of Mars into clothing for the needy. It is an action both commendable and timely. Editorial Notes A thought for the New Year is that when a person contracts the habit of wasting time he is sure to waste s great deal that does not be- long to him. Efficiency, says s Vancouver ex- change, is illustrated by p, neighbor who had four keys, one for his house, one for his car, one for his spare tire and one of his desk. He carried those separately in his pocket and every now and then lost one or another of them. Tiring ofthis, he bought a convenient leather folder containing four hooks, fastened the four keys to the hooks, stuck them together into necessary inirhcudavs. Manchester Guardian, a story of even stricter justice came from East Africa, where a magistrate and his deputy, having broken the 'law by joumeying together one night with- also can be learned. My thought of course in talking about the above experiments is to show how this wonderful organ, thc heart, can carry oii its work in spite cut a light, agreed that justice could best be served by each appear?‘ ing before the other.

The important thing in llfc is not what comes to us but the attitude of mind in which we receive what comes. If every trouble sinks straight to the heart of personality, if every- wind that blows shakes our house to its foundations, then indeed wc have lost our independence and are slaves of every caprice of fortune. But if we can meet life as the oasis meets the desert with its barrier of psalms and its fountain of living water at the center, if we can calmly and defiantly ssy it to the vexations of the world, thus far shalt thou, come and no farther, we are free sons of God, and possess the abund- ant life.—-Rev. Julian C. Jaynes. Addressing/a large political meet- ing at Glasgow, recently, Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin declared that the idea of a coalition or "national" Government is an impossible one, as the Conservatives can never co-oper- ate with a Government based on free trade principles. "A national Government sounds like a very nice "thing to talk about." said Mr. Baldwin, “but we always have to re- member this, that we cannot secure- ly base any Oovemment on any foundation that is not a foundation of common principles. I cannot co- operate with the prime minister on unemployment because I know that in no circumstances will the 20W"!- ment depart from ancient Cobdenite paths." The largest party in Great Britain is committed to tsrifl’ PTO- tectlon and intra-Impei-ial prefer- ences, which is also the Canadian Government's policy. 1"’?
