A real and grievous loss has been sustained by the COlllllllllllly in the siuldcn “passing hence" of .\lr. _l. C. .»\.

This time of world sorrow represented by the approach of Good Friday makes all the more poignant the bereavement: of families whose loved ones have been taken from them in the flower 0f their youth. The “reported missing" of Pilot Officer J. M. Murdock is another case in point. He had everything to live for, but willingly and valiantly offered his young lifc that the rest of us may continue to enjoy the blessings of Christian civilization. And he was an only son, the prop of the family and ntaitt- stay of his widowed mother. Wells interprets our feelings in "Mr. Brittling Sees it Through": “God . . . is the only King" .. . . Then after a time he said: “Our sons who have shown us God."

“The German's conception of his own place in the universe is never a humorous conception, and is generally a. tragic conception, writes Mr. Harold Nicolson M. P., in The Spectator. “If he bc an optintistic person he regards himself ss a heroic character, capable of magnificent deeds; if he be pessimistic character, his gloom as- sumes Aeschylean colours, and he sees himself ss Prometheus suffering acutely and symbolically for the sins of all the world. No German ever thinks ltimsclf ‘funny’ as I think myself funny ivhen (dressed in a fur coat) I run after a 'bus. No German, when confronted by circumstances 11f pomp and grandeur, indulges in an affection- ate chuckle at his own incongrnity. No German will Icll a comic story against himself unless he can so twist it as to render it oblique self-praise. No German has the self-assurance, in other words, to deride himself. ls this a quality or a dc- fect? May it not he that, in stating that the Ger- mans have an admirable sense of the ridiculous but do not allow it In affect serious thought or effort. \vc are stating that the Gcnnrtns have a surer sense 0f values than we have ourselves?"

Utopian Socialists are fund of the hrase "oonscriptlo; of wealth" which too often, perhaps, does not clearly convey the meaning they wish to express, or, at best, 1S used in a loose sense that. would spell disaster for the system of individ- ual enterprise “wider which most of the demccracles conduct. their national economies, A better and more feasible term Ls the “mobil- ization of wealth." a procedure trttinh is being followed in Canada. Mr. H P Thomhill, retiring president of the Dominion Mort» gage and Investments Association, dealt: with this question In 1m fl- Iuminattmz manner at the annual meeting of that body. He ventured the opinion that many of those who advocate the "conscription of wealth" are really suggesfnz the confiscation of wealth. He himself favours the term “mobilization.” which he Interprets as meaning nothlng more than the harnessing of the forces of capital to the ser- vice 0f the state, especially In such an emergency as the present one Mr ‘Ittornhill wculd remind the loose-thinking sharers of other people's material possessions that the funds of Insurance. trust, and loan companies do not repne=ent the contributions of a few large corporations. Far from being the fatness of big business those funds are the savings of 4.590.000 thrifty Canadians, the majority of whom are 0f modest means. The insur- ance. trust and loan companies are merely the custodians to whom these citizens in all walks of llfe have entrusted their savings for safe-keeplng and investment. - l-fsxntlton Spectator.

The rate of growth ln the past ten years was as high as l5 per cent, as ccmpared with 10.6 per cent, In the 1921-31 perrod.

The present Indian total of nearly 389,000.000 represents some fo11r- fifths of the Inhabitants of the British Empire.
