The Remedy for Our Financial Ills (By P. O'CONNOR.)

Australia's national debt, Commonwealth and States, is over £1,100,000,000. The interest on that debt for the current year as estimated by experts is E57,000,000. The total national production for the same period—July 1, 1930, to June 30, 1931, is estimated by experts at £525,600,000, and by the Federal Treasurer at £480,000,000. Say the national production will be 1 200,000,000. If the foreign-owed interest is paid in cash, another £8,000,000 for exchange will have to be added to the interest bill, making it £65,000.000, or 13 per cent, of the total national income. This cannot be paid this year or in succeeding years unless everyone in Australia able and willing to work is usefully employed and unless our financial system is radically altered. Too much of the following kind of finance is going on in Australia and elsewhere. A man of integrity needs £500 to carry on. He cannot give security to a bank for the amount; but mentions his position to a friend with a big credit balance in his current account with the bank. The friend says "Come along to the manager and I'll guarantee an overdraft for you." They go to the bank and the overdraft is arranged. The Bank gets 7 per cent. probably on the amount of the overdraft, and the guarantor gets nothing. Would it not be better business for the guarantor to give his friend a cheque for the amount and receive the interest himself? The whole of our national debt has been borrowed on the credit of the nation. Often that credit is used to borrow money at interest to finance national reproductive works, and for the purpose of lending to certain citizens, who can give security of a kind. Such transactions often result in loss t., the nation That is the nation does not receive back in interest as much as it pays for the borrowed money. Surely, a better plan would be to lend the nation's credit direct to the works or individuals requiring it, and to cause a reasonable interest and sinking fund charges to be paid by the borrowers. Money or currency is simply a means of exchange. Unfortunately, in modern times this currency is constantly being used to control, to corner, to gamble with, and to raise and lower without due cause the price of those commodities which comprise the necessaries, conveniences, comforts and luxuries of life. Frequently, millionaires of to -day are pauperised and go to a suicide's grave within 48 hours through gambling in what is known as high finance. Money is a medium of exchane Public confidence in any medidum of exchange is the sole desideratum. The world fixed on gold as the best medium early in its history. Modern transactions are so extensive and so complicated that gold has for all practical purposes ceased to be a convenient medium. The only real money amongst us is the sovereign. The other mediums are bank notes and cheques, the former being used chiefly to pay wages and the latter for most large transactions. such as payments for property or goods and for paying monthly transactions and remissions to a distance So long as public confidence is reposed in any medium, it will serve For many years in this State an order -on the late Sir George Shenton was preferred by outback settlers to golden sovereigns for the same amount. Why? The sovereigns might be stolen and An order readily used by the thief. on George Shenton stolen would if used get the thief free lodgings in the Fremantle institution. Most established Australian farmers have been financed by bank overdrafts repayable on demand-. In good times the system wors fairly satisfactorily: hut in times of stress it puts the farmer in a worse position than that of a tenant at will under an impecunious Irish Irish landlord in my early boyhood farmers then clamoured for the "three F's- : Fixity of tenure.

Father Rutten, eminent Benedictine and member of the Belgian Senriar, f ate, joined Cardinal Van Roey, Archbishop of Malines, in a protest against the maner of conferring national funeral honours upon the remains of the late Belgian General after the body of the great military leader had been cremated. When the proposal to confer the national funeral honours upon the military here was presented in the Belgian Senate, Father Rutten made plain that he, like Cardinal Van Roey and the Catholics of Belgium in general, was in no way opposed to the country's tribute to General Bernheim, who, although a lew, was revered and respected and adm - ired by Belgians of all classes and beliefs. Both said that they did not wish to take away one iota of honour from the memory of the General, but declared that the formal, public tribute after the cremating of the body was unfortunate, inasmuch as it placed Catholics, whose Church is opposed to cremation. in a position that made it necessary for them to choose between honouring one of the country's deserving heroes and following the dictates of their. own consciences as faithful members of the Catholic Church. C ardinal Van Roey's statement is as follows: It is our duty, as Bishop and Primate of Belgium, to make public what we think of the national funeral accorded General Bernheirn. "We pay homage to the great soldier, the illustrious General, who was one of the artisans of victory, one of the liberators of the fatherland. It is but fair and just that the nation render to the dead soldier the tribute of its admiration and of its undying gratitude. "But this national manifestation could and should have been organised in a way responding to the unanimous sentiment of the people and with due respect for the traditions of the country. We regret that this was not done. "Conceived ac a form of homage to the ashes of the general, the mangestation was a challenge to the Catholic conscience. which disapproves cremation; it went counter to the centuryold usage of the Belgian people, who have never known aught but the honourable burial of the dead: it shocked common sense, which cannot conceive of the possibility of a funeral after the destruction of the body through cremation. The interdiction of cremation is a disciplinary measure, which, for reasons That I feel not called upon to give today, is obligatory for every Catholic." Father Rutten said in the Senate. "The aversion a believer feels toward a proceeding incompatible with the traditions an with the liturgy of the Church has nothing whatever to do with the injustice and the meanness that would refuse to pay a supreme homage to one of our most glorious soldiers of the late war. But not one of our non-believing colleagues should feel offended if I make an explicit reseryation concerning the form of that tribute of respect. "Incineration takes the place of sepulture and, logically, funeral honours must be paid to the departed before the destruction of the body. By obligmg, for the first time in our history. Catholic officials to file past a funeral urn and to escort it solemnly through the streets of the city, you place them before a painful alternative: namely, either to refuse to participate in a manifestation to a well-deserving hero, or to participate and thereby trouble their Catholic consciences. ' When upon the unforgettable day of the return of the King and his victorious army." Father Rutten continued, "We enthusiastically acclaimed *hem, it occurred to none of us to make a _distinction in the passing regiments between believers and nonbelievers, between those understandmg the Flemish soul and those not understanding it. We regarded them all With the same sentiments of admiration and of gratitude. These sentiments are to-day what they were yesterday. and it shall not be said that a Catholic is unreasonably hesitant to bow to the memory of a chief who k new no fear or to the patriotic fervour of a soldier who would willingly have given his life to assure to Belgium freedom and independence."

PATRONI

is working on figures originally supplied by me which are as follows:— Money is borrowed by the Government at 4 per cent, and lent to the farmer at 6 per cent. Of the £6 paid annually in two instalments, £4 goes to pay interest, 10s. to pay working expenses, and 30s. goes into a sinking fund to pay off the principal in less than 33 years. Before its introduction most borrowers in Victoria paid 8 per cent. as interest, and the principal remained owing. The new system gave them money at 6 per cent. and each instalment paid advanced the farmer one step up the ladder leading to real ownership. A ustralia, by establishing a great national institution, with the credit of the nation behind it, can lend its credit to all established farmers in the Commonwealth and this lending cannot be called inflation. The, farmer should give /150 security for every £100 of credit r eceived. As in Victoria it may be used to finance home makers, but as home makers may not be always able to give £150 security for every ZOO of credit received, the instalments could be increased. By 61 per cent. instalments the debt would be paid in 28 years; 7 p.c. would pay it in 24 years: 71 p.c. in 21i years: 8 p.c. in 19 years; 81 p.c in 171' Years. and 9 p.c. would pay all in 16 years. An institution with the credit of the nation behind it. and with treasury notes as currency, would so by its transactions become of unimpeachable stability. As time went on its credit given would equal our present national debt, and its assets double or nearly so its liabilities. Its profit would be enormous, and they could be used not only to help to pay interest on our national debt, but to pay off the debt itself in a few decades. They could also be used for the social and economic uplifting of the people, or for any other national purpose. The operation of the system would set free practically unlimited capital for investment in secondary and tertiary industries, thus giving the primary producer such a home market as would make him to a great extent independent of foreign markets.

WRITTEN OIR.ECTED t/ PRODUCED 00 CHARLEC CHAPLI N U NITED ARTIM P ICTURE

Chaplin Pioneers With New Comedy The gigantic creation of the motion picture world arrives at the Prince of Wales Theatre, with the presentation of "City Lights," Charlie Chaplin's screen masterpiece. A production absolutely void of dialogue, but with fascinating musical synchronisation and sound effects, "City Lights' is hailed as the newest thing in cinema art and the greatest Chaplin effort of all time. More than two years in the making, and with an expenditure of close to t wo million dollars, "City Lights" is said to be the last word in pantomimic genius. Those who have viewed the w ork of the comedian-producer are of the belief that this offering will go a long way to bring back non-dialogue motion pictures. "City Lights" is an original idea, and was written by Chaplin. It is a simple story of everyday life in any large city, with a human treatment such as the style for which this producer is noted, and, which he followed in his direction. An entire city was constructed within the Chaplin plant in Hollywood for "City Lights." This was made necessary, although at tremendous cost, because it was found impossible for the comedian to work in the streets while garbed in his famous attire. Ten thousand or more people were employed to portray the inhabitants of the city. More than any production Chaplin has ever offered "City Lights" is the most extensive. Some of the massive settings include the business district, slums, theatrical; select; a prizefight stadium; a river and its embankment: a huge and gay cafe, and the exquisite rooms of a millionaire's mansion. There are three characters vital to the story. One is a tramp, as enacted by Chaplin: another a flower girl who is blind, and portrayed by Virginia Cherrill, and the other an eccentric millionaire, by Harry Myers. And of importance to these three, the girl's grandmother, Florence Lee; the millionaire's butler, Allan Garcia, and a prizefighter, Hank Mann. "City Lights" commences on SaturDoors open day, May 23rd.. at 10 am at 9.30.

An Appeal

NEWMAN SOCIETY OF W.A.

In its issue of March 7, in "Notes and Comments,' the following comment appears in the London "Catholic Herald": "Losses on all sorts of Government trading are shown by the report When that of the Auditor-General. noisy garrulous humbug, 'Billy' Hughes, was here from Australia, and was wanted to stay here, 'to put us right,' he got the Government to enter into a contract to purchase Australian zinc conThis has entailed a nice centrates. For this and loss of some £7,000,000! for similar 'jobs,' the workers here have And Australian 'pato foot the bill. triots' have pocketed the plunder! Who says the Mother Country is not a Nobody would be so mulch-cow?" stupid, for there is plenty of evidence that Soviet Russia is extracting considerable substance from the Mother Country, and thereby adding to her war chest. Russian butter is likely to convert Conservative England to Soviet principles. A definite and determined stand should be taken by the New Zealand and Australian Governments against the miserable methods of British butter merchants in their treatment of Australian butter. Has the Mother Country lost her heart to the Bolshevik? Has Arcos Ltd. pulled Our the wool over Britain's eyes? friend, "The Catholic Herald," mightforget "Billy" Hughes, and pay attention to those British "patriots" who are patronising the products of Russian slave labour to the exclusion of Dominion goods. Russian butter and Russian wheat might yet prove very disastrous to Empire unity. Zinc concentrates, if they have entailed a loss on the British Government Owe take the say-so of the "Catholic Herald" as correct) have at least contributed something to Empire trade, but Russia is sucking the British Empire lemon dry, and British trade within the Empire is getting a dirty back-hand blow. • • • Father Vincent Gorski, of the US. Navy, tells in the "Chaplain Aid Bulletin," pubished in New York City, an interesting incident that he had gathered at the Marine Barracks, Quantico, Va. He says: "A story told me recently by Major Geiger, who has charge of the flying field here, illustrates the determination of a practical Catholic always to attend Mass A Catholic captain, in charge of a squadron of planes, went to a city some distance away to put on an air show at The flyers were a civic celebration. quartered in the country club. They arrived Saturday in time for dinner. and long drawn out festivities in their honour. There was a business meeting scheduled for Sunday morning at nine o'clock, with the civic leaders and The Capthe manager of the meet. tain found out that the nearest church, about three miles away, had a six o'clock Mass; he asked his host at the country club to awaken him at five am., but was told that no one would awake at that hour, and there was no alarm clock. He asked the telephone operator to give him a ring, but was told that it was against the rules. Refusing to give up, the Captain said: 'Give me the police station.' Sergeant O'Reilly was the man at the station house, and he listened with perfect understanding to the Captain's request, and not only agreed to awaken him by giving him a ring at five, but told him not to bother trying to locate a taxicab. -he would send out the patrol wagon to get him and bring him to Mass."

St. Vincent de Paul Society is in need of assistance from the community, not for itself intrinsically, but extrinsically for those poor indigent people, who are always to be found in big centres of population, and especially now in this city, when unemployment is filling it with breadless homes and fireless grates. The Society, regardless of nationality or creed, thinking only of human hearts and feelings, and famishing children, have exhausted its wardrobe and its cupboard, and is making a call upon the generously disposed to help it meet the pressing deThe mands upon its charity. great need is warm clothes for Apthe women and children. peals are constantly coming to the members for assistance in other directions.

Commercial Travellers' The Concert Orchestra, and leading local artists, are generously giving a Grand Charity Concert, in the Town Hall, on the 24th. inst., in aid of the funds of the Society. The whole of the proceeds will be given to help the poor, who are the clients of the Society. Our Catholic people should not fail to patronise this Concert, and show that they are intimately interested in the unhappy condition of the poor, whi , are facing a severe winter. Everyone in employment should remember their needy brethren during these days of trial and anxiety.

The opening social of the Newman Society was held in the Students' ReThere fectory on Tuesday evening. were 22 tables of bridge, and considering the wretched weather, the attendance was splendid. The supper, catered for by the ladies' committee, was much appreciated, and when the hon. secretary, Mr. K. Woods, asked for an expression of gratitude, there was a The Presivery hearty response. dent. Dr. Horan, thanked the members and their friends for their he presence, and declared that quite and his committee were satisfied with the evening. The Chaplain, the Rev. Father McMahon, also spoke, outlining the aim of the Newman Societe, and announcing this year's programme of lectures. He invited the members to ask their friends to attend the series of lectures. which will be given in the Students' RefecAs tory, The University, Crawley. Chaplain he emphasised the importance of University Sunday, to be held at the Cathedral on Sunday, June 14, The Newman Society was essentially a Catholic organisation of graduates and undergraduates, and the religious aspect must take pride of place. He hoped to see every Catholic professional man and woman at the Newman Society Mass and Holy Communion. When Catholic professional men absented themselves from this annual expression of faith, they did more harm than they realised. The undergraduates comment on the absence of our Catholic doctors, lawyers, architects, etc., and their absence is certainly not the goad example and edification which as older members of the learned professions, they should give.

There is a strong leaning by our separated brethren in England to the old familiar terminology of Catholicism. We no longer read of "Communion Service" and "Evening Prayer" in their church notices. They have been superseded by "Mass" and "Benediction" and "Vespers." Too long has Anglicanism held to the cold, grey and lifeless ceremonies of the reformers and the bleakness of the Reformation. It is a-hungry for the warmth and spiritual life of the old religion of the Blessecld Fisher and More and the English martyrs. It wants to bring back to their unrighteously got churches and cathedrals the old music and liturgy of their lost faith. The smell of incense floating round their altars, and the

blaze of lighted candles and the Roman Rubrics have displaced the cold austerities of the reformed ritual of Protestantism, and the Catholic Church, in its profound and appealing liturgy, is being aped in a pathetic attempt to appear what it really and truly is not, and without authority can never be. But it is. nevertheless, really sad that with the best of intentions, so many are blinding their spiritual eyes to the inconsistencies of their position. Here is an obituary notice, taken from the -Times," which is a "spot light" on the changed mentality of Protestantism in England. For though it may be denied that the High Church of England represents the bulk of Protestant t hought within the Establishment, the trend of the higher culture of Protestantism throughout the world is undoubtedly towards Catholicism. But let us read this interesting obituary notice: "PHILLIPS.—On Feb. 28, 1931. at a nursing home, Croydon, Edith, widow of the Rev. Owen Phillips, of Cold Waltham, Sussex, aged 82 years. Requiem Mass 8.30 a.m. and funeral 1.30 p.m. Thursday. March 5, at St. Michael's Church, Poplar Walk, Croydon; afterwards at Queen's Road Cemetery. "Jesu, mercy.

Mary, pray."

The invocation. "Mary, pray," is profoundly interesting, and at least shows that the cult of the Blessed Mother of God is finding a place in a higher spiritualism in the Church of England. If it is the first evidence of such a desirable tendency, then God grant such evidence will grow and increase until there is a general awakening of the Anglican mind to the inconsistency of a continuance of the protest of the 16th, century, whilst it accepts and practices Catholic faith and principles Mary, pray for them, that they may he one with us in faith and love.

Bolshevism in Spain

When Alfonso, King of Spain, laid aside his crown and left his throne, and became an exile from his country, he did so, as he said, to save Spain from the consequences of civil war. It was a noble decison on his part. He left it to the Spanish people to decide later by their suffrages at a general election whether they wanted him as their King, or whether they desired a change in the system of Government. Political discontent, for some time fanned by Communists, had been producing a brood of radical reformers, whose conspiracies were directed against the throne and person of the monarch. That they have succeeded is told by the fact that Alfonso is in exile, and a Provisional Republican Government functions in Madrid, and that the petrol can of the incendiary is wreaking ruin on the sacred things for which Catholic Spain has been the guardian. • Spanish King has been readesire of the How far the humane lised is revealed by the latest dispatches from the Spanish capital. They are lurid enough to excite in the breast of Spaniards burning Centuries of traditions concern for the future of their country. and customs are likely to be submerged in the mire of a foreign political warfare. All that was beautiful in Spanish national life is threatened by the destroying forces of a foreign element. New standards are proposed, new leaders, drenched in the philosophy of Socialism, promulgate new laws, and are shaping new pathways in what they call the national destiny. The transition from the old order to the new, set up by the Provisional Government now directing the course of Spain's destiny, has opened with tragic results. It would seem as though a strange and sinister element has secretly taken possession of the nation, and is challenging the authority of the new administration. Something more than the fanaticism of a Spanish mob, drunk with a new-born liberty, is responsible for the wanton destruction and terrorism that is spreadSpain is a Catholic nation, and we cannot ing through Spain. believe that she has forsaken her Catholic ideals and character in The evia brief while and become a raving apostate nation. dence is very strong that a Bolshevik element is operating in Spain to defeat a true expression of the will of the Spanish people at the forthcoming elections. The attacks upon religious houses and churches clearly show that an alien and ruthless enemy is at work, and against that enemy the Government of Spain, if it is to save Spain from economic disaster and ruin, must put forth its armed strength without mercy. The worst features of atheistic warfare and madness are being shown in the senseless and wicked destruction of religious places. We cannot think that the spirit of Spain has changed with the fall of the Monarchy. • Dynasties rise and dynasties fall, but the faith of a people outlives Cabinets, dictatorships, and national crises. If there is nothing worse behind the terrorism prevalent in Spain to-day than the wild ebbulitions of misguided Spanish youth and discontented When workers. Spain will awaken from her drunken spree. the intoxicating effects of the national reaction have subsided, Spain will get her headache and a return to reason, then it will be bad for the irresponsibles and the fools who have joined them. Transitions are invariably fraught with outbreaks of lawlessness and lunacy. While Alfonso was King of Spain he was at least the symbol of national unity and a coherent Spain. Removed from his seat of authority, an enemy has entered the nation, and it may be that only after bitter strife and bloodshed and widespread ruin, coherence, order, and national unity shall be restored. The fate of Spain depends on the capacity of the Government to hold the allegiance of the army. And from present appearances its job is bristling with terrible difficulties. • • • • But every Spaniard is a trained soldier. He loves his country. and he will not easily surrender the soul of Spain to the agents of Moscow. Unless the Provisional Government is a caitiff Government in league with the forces of reaction, the next week or two should see the utter defeat of the Communist crew who are attempting to set up Moscow rule in Spain.

The Lesson read in to-day's Mom takes us back in spirit to the Cenaele in Jerusalem. There the disciples, to the number of one hundred and tweety, were gathered together, waiting for the fulfilment of the Saviour's promise —the coming of the Holy Spirit Nine days previously they stood with Jesus on Mount Olivet, and watched Him as He ascended, blessing them. Since then they had remained in Jerusalem in obedience to the Master's command. "Stay you in the city till you be es dued with power from on high." Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming. and it filled the whole house where they were sitting." Before long it was to "fill the whole earth," and all things would have "knowledge of the voice." "And there appeared to the disciples parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them" The fire sYmbolises the ardour of the love which the Holy Ghost. the Spirit of Love, enkindles: the forrn of tongues signifies that the heavenly Fire is to be spread by word. "They were all filled with the Holy Ghost. and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak." In that instant Our Lord's words were fulfilled. "He shall teach you all truth." "He will give testimony of Me." "He shall abide in you and shall be in you." "You shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you.' Strong in the strength of that Presence, the disciples. °net 90 weak and cowardly, were consumed with zeal to begin the work which Christ had set before them. "to preach the Gospel to every nation."

The Gospel of to-day teaches us that the coming of the Holy Ghost is not only an event which concerns mankind at large.

Edwards, G.S., Sister D. M. Gilbertson, D.T., Bros. Rampant, D.D., Hynes, D.M., Creighton, D.M., and O'Mahony, On April 27 the District R.D.T. Board made its official visit to St. Columba's Branch, South Perth, and the members were very satisfied with The branch has what they found. been making steady progress since it w as founded a year ago, and the evident earnestness and enthusiasm prevailing insures continued progress. The branch, and particularly its officers, are to be congratulated on the success of their efforts, and they are asked to persevere with them as continued progress means a real benefit to the society as The new branch of Our a whole. Lady of the Holy Rosary, at Nedlands, is also progressing slowly, but steadily, and here again the measure of keenness shown by the members will certainly cause their efforts to be entireUnfortfinately, the ly successful. branch has been deprived of the support and encouragement of their revered Chaplain, the Rev. Father O'Brien, who d;ed during last week. To his lively interest is_to be largely attributed the success of the branch up to the present time, and the members of the District Board keenly regret his passing. The members will ever remember his good offices with gratitude, and pray that his soul may rest in peace. The end of the financial year is now fast approaching, and branch secretaries are urged to attend diligently to the important matter of furnishing their r eturns promptly, in order that the work in the District office may not be delayed and made difficult by reason of remissions on the part of any secretaries. Tickets in the hospital fund are renewable before the 30th. June, and members should intimate at once to their branch secretaries as to whether they intend to renew their tickets or not. New subscribers must take out their tickets before the 31st. July, when the lists will definitely close. St. Mary's Branch, Leederville. A small business meeting was held on Wednesday. the 6th. inst„ the vicepresident. lin, F. Reader. presiding. Sick pay w:”: passed for two members. Arrangement, were made for the carrying out of the euchre party and dance to be condu, ted by the branch in aid of the pari,h funds, on Tuesday next. Members are requestthe 19th. inst ed to invoke the assistance of their friends in making this, our first euchre party and dance of the season, an outstanding silt( ess. Miss Doreen D'Arcy's Orchestra will provide the music, and this constitutes a very great attraction. Members themselves are expected to attend in full force. At the meeting on Wednesday next, the branch will make a presentation to Bro. Roy Galvin, who was recently married. Bro. Galvin is one of the foundation members of the branch, and is one of those who is largely responsible for the progress made by it during the last ten years It will give the members the very greatest pleasure to do him honour, and the present occasion is a very appropriate one. Our members are therefore urged to attend the meeting in full force St. Brigid's Branch, West Perth. There was a fair attendance at the last meeting of the branch, which was held on Thursday. 7th. inst. The president (Bro F. Casey) occupied the chair. The secretary (Bro. Lou Hagerty made available the report and balance sheet for the February quarter. Heavy calls on the sick fund during the quarter reduced that fund considerably, but the general position, nevertheless. nni t be taken as being reasonably satisfactory. The next social of the season will be held on Monday, 18th. inst.. in St. Brigid's Parish Hall. Members of the branch are determined to make this junction an outstanding success. The next meeting also happens to be on Monday. 18th. inst., but in order to avoid clashing with the social arrangemnts, the meeting will commence at 7.30 p.m. sharp. The election of officers for the ensuing halfYear will take place at this meeting, and members are, therefore, particularly requested to attend. -- St. Joachim's Branch, Victoria Park.

THE RECORD. of members. Bro. Finnegan reported on matters of the local friendly societies' council, also the decision of the local chemists, who had been interviewed, for a rebate on their present charges to the various societies. We apologise to the sports and social committee for the absence of our delegate ( iBro. Murphy) from their last meeting, and who was prevented from attending by sickness. Members are advised that now is the time to apply for hospital tickets, or renew their old ones. Arrangements were made for the reception of the team from Cottesloe, whom we engage in table tennis in our next meeting night, the 25th. inst. It was also decided to hold a debate on June 8th., the subject to be "Would Secession Benefit WA.?" Bros. Hegney and Finnegan were appointed leaders of the competing teams. There were a large number of nominations received for the various offices to be filled for the next six months, and a few exciting contests will no doubt be the result. We regret Bro. Dwyer did not seek re-election, despite the pressure put upon him to reverse his decision; but it is a consolation to known that true Hibernian as he is, he always gives of his best, whether in or out of office. After the usual business was disposed of, the competition for the rendition of the President's Charge was carried out, resulting in a win for Bro. Finnegan, Bros. Quinlivan and Hegney being second and third, respectively. It was decided that Bros. Finnegan and Quinlivan be the nominees of the branch for the District Board competition, to be held in Perth on June 19. After the competition was over, members enjoyed themselves at table tennis and miniature golf until a late hour. Members were pleased to note the success of "our" school choir in the recent musical festival, and offer congratulations to the Sisters and their pupils in registering such a fine performance and achievement. Star of the Sea Branch, Fremantle. The usual fortnightly meeting of the above branch was held on May 4. Bro. C. E. Edwards presided over a small attendance of members. As the secretary (!Bro. J. W. O'Brien had not returned from the country, only the immediate business was transacted. The amount of £5 was passed as sick pay for three members. Bro. Alford reported on matters of the Friendly Societies' Council. Members are reminded of the importance of next meeting. and it is hoped that the attendance will be an outstanding one Some of the business to be transacted on May 18 is nomination of officers. taking quarterly contributions, and arrangements for the forthcoming social. After the meeting a debate on "Party Government" will be held, and an interesting time is promised. The Chaplain, Rev. Father Haugh, recited the closing prayers.

The Question Box Questions about the doctrine and practice of the Church will be answered in this section weekly. Inquirers are to be as brief and clear as possible. Seguin's. Beguines were communities of women, peculiar originally to the Netherlands, and first founded in the 12th. century. They were not religious in the strict sense of the word, since they took no vows„ did not renounce their property, and were to return to the world. They lived a semimonastic life, and -devoted themselves mainly to the care of the sick and aged. Each community was self governing, and there was no common rule, although some of them adopted the rule of the Third Order of St. Francis. They spread to Germany, France and Italy during the 13th. century, and greatly influenced_ the religious life of the common people among whom they worked; but nearly all were destroyed during the troubles which followed the Reformation and the French Revolution. Some few communities exist still in Holland and Belgium. Papal Flag. Since the Treaty of the Lateran, the Papal Flag has been changed slightly. It consists, as formerly, of a ground of white and yellow, divided vertically into equal parts. The white section now has the seal of the Vatican City State, consisting of the tiara and cross keys, with the inscription: "Vatican City State" fiStato della Citta del Vaticano.) Accolade. The accolade of Knighthood means the ceremony by which the dignify of Knighthood is conferred. It consisted formerly in either by a kiss or by a slight blow on the neck, this second form being still used in England. The name is applied sometimes also to a form of salutation or farewell used in some countries, somewhat like the peace salutation or "Pax" among the clergy at Solemn High Mass. Human Acts. By a human act is meant not one which precedes from instinct or acts which happen by nature, but those which depend on man's understanding and will, and which are preceded by deliberation and decision. A man knows the value of the act, and freely chooses to do it. Its moral value depends on man's knowledge of its conformity or non-conformity with the moral law. The teacher was putting questions to the class. "What do we call a man." he asked. "who keeps on talking and talking when people are no longer interested?" "Please, sir," replied the boy, teacher.

Gifted Catholic Writer Dead A gifted Catholic writer, in the person of Miss Helen Atterdidge, died recently in England. She is the author of "Katherine Delahaye," which appeared in serial form in the "Irish Catholic" Miss Atteridge had been in failing health for some time. May her soul rest in peace. "The Tablet" says: To appreciate the measure of the loss by Helen Atteridge's death, one would need to be in the privileged position of having known that lady and her work far more closely and thoroughly than most of us can claim. For one thing, her modesty shrank from recognition in the form of public mention: her name will be searched for in vain in the "Catholic Who's Who"; and for another, she cloaked her identity, even in some of her best work, under more than one "nom-de-guerre." For instance, she wrote, during a number of years, short stories and books of fiction for the Oxford University Press; these works were produced under assumed names, and it would doubtless surprise many boys to know that the stirring stories of adventure which had so enthralled them came from a woman's pen. One of her best senior stories appeared in an English Catholic monthly, and was afterwards translated and ran for some weeks in the "Germania" of Berlin. the organ of the Centre party She contributed frequently throughout practically the whole of her literary life, to the "Ave Maria" of Notre Dame, U.S.A. Her range WRS a wide one— literary criticism, topical journalism. travel notes. fiction, and historical studies, these last bearing chiefly on the history of the English Martyrs. Literary interests, however, were far from exhausting Helen Atteridge's gifts and her capacity for hard work. She was a linguist of no mean ability: that is to say, she spoke French fluently, had a working knowledge of German and Italian. and in addition managed to acquire enough command of Irish to talk with the peasants of Connaught in their own ancient tongue during her visits to the West of Ireland. She delighted in music. devoting much time, for about twenty years, to teaching the violin at the Sacred Heart Convent at Roehampton. at the training school of the same Order at Hammersmith, and at Gumlev House. Isleworth. Miss Atteridge's Catholic zeal flowed in many streams of good work She was one of the earliest helpers enrolled by her friend the late Father Philip Fletcher on the foundation of the Guild of Our Lady of Ransom. From that and other Catholic organisations, messages of grief at her death have, been sent to one who, closest and dearest to her, shared Helen Atteridge's life. her interests, her companionship—namely, her brother, Mr. A. Hilliard Atteridge, himself a champion of the Faith and a practised craftsman of the pen.

Oceania and Its Doings A RECORD OF EVENTS. (By the Rev. L. L. Dubois, S.M., forFides Service.) Among the principal events of the .past -few months in Oceania must cen tainly be placed the consecration of His Lordship Bishop Thomas J. Wade, SM. as first Vicar Apostolic of the North Bishop Wade, a Solomon Islands. native of Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.A., is the first English-speaking Bishop in the islands of the Pacific which are grouped under the title of Oceania. The consecration took place at Sydney, Australia, in the presence of His E xcellency Archbishop Cattaneo, Apostolic Delegate, while the distinguished orator for the occasion was His Excellency Archbishop Mannix, of MelThe date of the ceremony bourne. was October 26, the young Bishop remaining in Australia for affairs of his Vicariate until mid-February. The young missionary, small of stature, bronzed by his years under the tropical sun, a little emacied by passing fevers, but withal still full of American vigour, had a twofold purpose in The primary obgoing to Sydney. ject was of course to seek his consecrating Bishop. But he had also the mission to recall to Australia its sacred ditty in regard to the Mandate over the immense territory of New Guinea received from the League of Nations after the Great War. With the territory, declared the Bishop, Australia received also the duty of occupying herself with the countless souls of this land lying 2,000 miles away from Sydney, but bound to it by a regular steamship service. There are still to be found in these isles innumerable pagans. totally ignorant of Christianity, primitive savages, who have never yet seen a white man, real cannibals who devour their enemies. The Catholics of Australia must realise their spiritual duties towards the hungry souls of these charges put in their care. Invited to speak of his field, the young Bishop seized opportunities of adres'sing the crowds in churches, in halls, and in theatres. He told of the marvellous progress wrought among the .pagans. In 190.5, after five years of iatiguing there were three priests and three sisters and a Catholic population of 26 souls. To-day, there are 22 priests. six Brothers, 22 Sisters, and 12,514 Catholics. Last year alone saw 2.544 pagans baptised. More than 10,000 are aady to be received into the Church if priests and catechists can be found to instruct them. The territory of New Guinea includes the principal island groups of North Solomon, New Ireland, New Britain, and the eastern portion of New Guinea. The Vicariate Apostolic of Eastern New Guinea has the distinction of possessing, since a few months ago, the largest "mission boat' (used by the missunaries in visiting the innumerable islands) of all the Pacific missions under the Catholic Church. For some time the Fathers of the Sacred Heart at Rabaul held the record with the "Julius," but now the Fathers of the Divine Word of New Guinea are definitely first with the "Stella Mans.' The craft measures 90 feet long, 20 feet wide, carries a cargo of 180 tons, and makes 12 knots an hour. The cost was 5,5,000 dollars. Heretofore the Protestants had boats far superior in tonnage and equipment to the "Julius or the "Mans Stella." But the upkeep being so costly and the v oyages from one group of islands to the other being now facilitated by regular navigation companies, the ten. dency is to smaller vessels. Thus. the Anglicans propose to substitute this year for their well known steamer, the "Southern Cross" (costing E7,000 or £8,000 a year to maintain) two smaller schooners of 90 and 35 tons respectively. which will not be used for long voyages. hut will remain attached to the New Hebrides and the Solomon groups The "London Missionary Society" has sold its no less famous "John Williams IV.." which in the 37 years of its Pacific service, covered a million nautical miles. It has been replaced by the "John Williams V.." which arrived in December at Suva. Fiji Islands. With this as a base, it will be used for the L.M.S. missions in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands. Communications have always been the burning question in Oceania. Sevtral Catholic Bishops have expressed their confidence in aviation as the future means of travel between the islands. The MIVA, that energetic German organisation. whose aim is to supply missionaries with the better means of transport "by land, by sea. and by air," has already made some initial steps with a view to providing hydroplanes for the missions of Ocean-

THE RECORD.

ia. Fiji for some months now has had a commercial air service within its own The late Bishop group of islands. Cleary, Bishop of Auckland, New Zealand, made his Confirmation tours by air, and Bishop Alencastre, Vicar Apostolic of Hawaii, not long ago used a hydroplane to visit the leper island of Molaical, in his territory. The aeroplane played a curious part in the recent history of Samoa. This territory, known ecclesiastically as the Vicariate Apostolic of the Navigator Islands. is composed of two parts. The more important part, the west, includes the large islands of UpoIt* and Savai. Since the great war the mandate over this section is held by New Zealand. The Eastern part, comprising Tutuila and Manua, belongs to the United States since 1899. Five years ago an autonomous movement, called by the natives "Mau" (discontent), began in both sections, the east and west. But while it developed into an almost revolutionary affair in the New Zeaalnd section, it took a peaceful turn in the American section. In 1929 the United States Congress named a commission to study the reqests of the natives and prepare if necessary a new form of government. This commission was under the chairmanship of Senator Hiram Bingham ( descendant of Reverend Hiram Bingham, one of the first Protestant missionaries who sailed for Hawaii in 1820) . The group arrived on board the U.S.S. "Omaha" at Pago Pago, Tutuila, September 26, and with three native chiefs who were to be their aids, set to work. More than 100 chiefs assembled and agreed to recognise the benefits of the government hospitals and schools, demanding for the natives, however, a greater participation in the direction of affairs. i To be Continued.) On October 5 the airplanes from the "Omaha' flew over the villages, dropping circulars addressed to the chiefs to call them to a meeting on October 7, at which they could hear the recommendations that the commission proposed to make to Congress on its return. These recommendadtions were received with enthusiasm by the "Mau" partisans The rights of American citizenship, it was stated, would be granted to the Samoans of Tutuila and Manua: the local government would be established on the basis of the Samoan constitution itself, in turn based upon that of the United States; the governor would be appointed by the President of the United States, the.legislative power, however, remaining in hands of the Samoan "Fono" (assembly), limited solely by constitutional restrictions. A t the head of these restrictions is one which vitally interests the missions, stating that no law shall be enacted concerning the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise of religion in the territory. This clause, at the very least, confirmed the state of affairs already existing. The Catholic mission in Samoa. which has enjoyed full toleration for 80 years, continues to -day to enjoy not only the same toleration, but also the esteem of the natives and of the protecting government. In the section under New Catholic schools, frequented also by Protestants, are subsidised by the Government. In the setcion under New Zealand the Catholic mission enjoys the confidence of the mandatory power, from which it received official thanks for its intervention in favour ie peace in the "Mau" trouble. At the time the New Zealand authorities declared the episcopal residence ' tral zone, to which the 1;, • could come freely. The Catholi. . , .1 holding herself ever aloof from all polltical questions, occupies a privileged position and is thus able to exercise her spiritual ministry with perfect liberty in regard to all. At present calm seems to reign at Upolu. The New Zeaalnd authorities have removed their warships, bombing planes, and machine guns, while the Samonas have quit their stronghold in the bush and have returned to normalcy. But the "Mau" spirit still lives. The promses made by the American Commission to the "Mau" of Tutuila are not inclined to appease the spirits of these at Upolu (under New Zealand). who have as yet obtained nothing and are more than ever determined to continue a policy of passive resistance and non-cooperation, hoping by these tactics to weary New Zealand and make her abandon the Mandate. Bishop Liston, Bishop of Auck-

land, and many other bishops of New Zealand, have higned a petition that an inquiry be made into the situation. Other events of importance during the past few months include the passing of the two cyclones that caused so many deaths at Fiji and wrought such destruction in the mission stations on Viti Levu and Ovalau, and the measures taken by the English Governmtnt for the establishment of a modern system of education in these same Fiji Islands. The economic crisis has been felt everywhere, but especially in the Oceania missions, where the sale of copra forms an important revenue in practically all the islands from Gambier and Tuamotu, in the East Pacific, to New Britain and New Guinea in the West Pacific. In regard to conversions, let us say a word about the veritable "spontaneous generation" of Catholics that took place on the little island of Pukapuka (Danger Islands), which, up to the present, had been totally Protestant, and was visited but once, by Monsignor Castanie, Prefect Apostolic of Cook Islands, in 1920. Sixty-six natives have formed a "Catholic Church." and now faithfully recite their prayers and patiently await the spiritual help which they hope to receive from the mission authorities. Unfortunately, the Prefect Apostolic is at Rarotonga, 715 miles distant, and sees no possibility of coming to their aid except by correspondence, which must of necessity be rare and irregular, owing to the poor mail service for the smaller islands. A similar movement is under way in Tonga, on the little isle of Niva Toputapu (Keppel and another at Bemana, in the interior of Viti Levu (Fiji). These conversions are all from Protestantism. More numerous are the conversions from paganism in the Solomon Islands, especially in North Solomon, as we mentioned when speaking of Bishop Wade, and in New Britain. It is in these Melanesian groups that the Protestant missionaries of Oceania. particularly the Anglicans and Methodihts, are expending their efforts at present. profiting by the dispositions of the natives, who are rapidly casting aside their pagan superstitions and giving themselves to the first arrivals Will the Catholic religious congregations be able to furnish fresh recruits quickly enough? Will Catholic missionaries arrive in time to prepare the many well trained Catechists that are needed? On the answer to these two questions depends the future of the , .atholic Church in Melanesia.

Gusts of wind in velocity nearly approaching a gale, combined with rain, kept all the hardest and strongest Branches of trees scattered indoors. here and there, flowers with down-bent heads, all bore witness to the fact that the reign of winter had begun. Many of you are on holidays, and will keenly enjoy the winter days. The brisk walk on cold days is an exhilarating tonic; outdoors games will be a source of enjoyment. The football season has commenced, and my nephews will follow with interest the games between the opposing teams. Now, for a little question: Are the C.B.C. boys going to win the football premiership? It would be grand if they could gain that as well Go on, as the Head of the River.

The heart in love with its God, desiring infinitely to love, sees, notwithstanding, that it can neither love nor desire sufficiently. And this desire which cannot come to effect is as a dart in the side of a noble spirit: yet the pain which proceeds from it is welcome because whosoever desires earnestly to love, loves also earnestly to desire, and would esteem himself the most miserable man in the universe if he did not continually desire to love that which is so sovereignly worthy of love. Desiring to love, he receives sweetness.—St. Francis de Sales.

WORDS OF WISDOM. With all thy heart love the love which loves thee, and has created thee to draw thee wholly to Himself —St. Francis. Remember that every experience of life, bitter or sweet, gives us a chance to learn a lesson. The things of the present life are really benefits only in as far as they are good for the life to come, which is eternal. In not doing what one should do one is not less culpable than in doing what one should not do. Character is builderl on self-denial. We ought to acquire the healthy habit of stiffening our wills every day by at least one act of mortification. Those who load us with insults and ignominy give us the means of acquiring treasures far more precious than any that man can gain in this life. We know that even when God's hand is raised to strike us He is merciful, and coming from His hand. even ills have the graces of virtues. The way the will becomes strong is by doing small things you've made up your mind to do. however much you don't want to do them at the time. God manifests Himself in many ways for has not the Blessed Christ told us that in His Father's house there are many mansions? If all things are added to those who seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness, can anything be wanting to those who seek only the nghteousness of His Kingdom and the King of Kings Himself?

THE RECORD.

OUR STORY—

GOOD CIGARS Outside the white frame church at Walthier, the Belgian farmers, with clipped heads and fierce moustaches, waited for the bell to announce Mass. Their women had already gone in, except those who were at the schoolhouse getting the booyah in shape. The men were gathered in groups, talking in broken accents of the drought, the market, and sundry gossip collected since the last Sunday. Van Bruchen, giant of a Flemish, was talking excitedly. "Why does he want He tol' somevor to run ever't'ing? wan las' week he could run a farm better as Malotte here, or me. Eet would be plenty eef he run our church, I Vink." "He mak a fine job of dat," said Malotte who stood next to him. "He run dat church good." Malotte is a Walloon, quicker, more sensitive, than his powerful neighbour, the Flemish Van Bruchen, but not so thorough or painstaking. "You should tal heem wat you tal its sometam," went on Malotte. "Maybe he would tal you lak las' year. 'Van Bruchen,' he say, 'dere are two kinds of Balgian: good Balgian, and Flemish Belgian.'" The group set up a great laugh at this. Van Bruchen only grumbled. searching in his slower mind for a fit answer. "An' wan more t'ing," said Malotte, anxious to press his advantage. "A'm bat you a good chew you go to his meeting to-night eef he tal you, even Malotte eef you don' wan' to go." squirted a stream of tobacco juice at a flat rock for emphasis. Van Bro. "Maybe yes, maybe no." ehen shruggred his broad shoulders. "My wife, she brought tree chicken Den I pay for the booyah to-day. feefty cents vor to eat my own chicken. Why? So lie can smoke does ghude ceegar. I s'pose? He's all tam got wan in his mout" "No, dat ain't why," put in De Neefe, a squat, gnarley man. "It's so he can pay for the new schoolhouse, so your t'ree kid can learn how to be somet'ing beside a dumb farmer like dere ol' man." The crowd roared again. Van Bruchen was having a bad day of it. The hell began to ring in its thin. cracked tones, an the crowd moved towards the open doors of the church. The priest was opening the missal when they shuffled noisily in. Their feet were more accustomed to furrow and ditch than to the smooth linoleum aisle of the church Each jerked his knee in a stiff. rheumatnc genuflection, and slid into a seat. They sat there, straight and uncomfortable. The walls of the church were smoky black, and the plaster was cracked in more than one place. An imitation fresco of the Baptism of Christ was losing its paint, so that St. John appeared with but one eye, and a broken -staff. The cheap stained windows were badly lettered with the names of t heir donors. There was one inscribed "Donated by the Belgian Settlers of Walthier." A dismal choir chanted at the "Kyrie." and soon the priest come to the railing for the Gospel. While he read. the faces of the congregation were blank, some thinking of the coming meeting. some of the drought (these wondered how to pray, for rain). but only a handful had their minds on the message being delivered to them. The Gospel finished, the priest laid down his book on the railing, cleared his throat, and looked sharply at the faces before him, They were hard faces, deeply browned by sun and wind: faces that showed the toil of years. grubbing and sweating out their bread from the soil. They were hon. est faces, and simple, for they belonged to men who thought little and doubted not. Father Van Loosman knew, as he looked at them ,that no t alk of ideals would reach them. They must be met, not rationally, but emotionally. They must be made to feel, rather than to understand. And their

feelings were caked over with the soil. To-day he was not going to talk to them of religion. He was going to talk to them of their material welfare, for he was, in a sense, their mayor as well as their pastor. It was only as the mayor that some of them objected to him, yet they needed him in both jobs. "You men," he began quietly, "are good men; you work hard in the fields, and I always pray that you will prosBut in this case prayer is not per. enough; you must work with God if you want Him to hear your prayers for prosperity and comfort. "You all realise how hard your life has been. But, tell me this, do you want your children to work the same Do you want them "to slave way? from early morning till dark, to earn No! only enough for their bread? In each drought do you You do not want to hear them cry out as you do to-day? 'Or do you want them to have nice homes, good cars, a fine radio, money for education? "How are you going to get these By running your farms like things? your grandfathers did? You are not! You must keep up with the times, or beat the times if you know how. But you do not believe in progress. You are dead for new ideas. "I have brought a man here from the Farm Board to speak to you tonight on new ideas. One of them is co-operative marketing. I want you all to be there, whether you think you can learn or not." Malotte nudged De Neefe with his knee. They goth looked at Van Bruchen. He was sitting as though he had not heard a word., But he was Only he was wondering thinking. how Father Van Loosman could go so long without one of his fine cigars in his mouth. Van Bruchen was saying in his mind: "He wants us to mak money so he can buy wan more box of dose ghude reegars. Me, I don't care so much: I lak my chew better. But I don't lak vor to buy dose ghude ceegars vor When Mass was over the crowd poured out, lured by the smell of the "booyah" which was boiling in the yard of the school-house. Some of them went to their wagons or battered cars to get small pails. They were going to take their "booyah" home with them. Three huge iron kettles were stewing over open log fires. Joe Du Pont was going from one to another with a He lifted the cover wooden ladle. of the middle one, sniffed, and began to stir. At the same time. he shouted to one of the women who were cutting up vegetables at a long table set up against the new brick wall of the school. "Mary de Bosse," he bawled, "you bring dose pea and dose carrot, queeck! An' maybe some chicken, rott!" Malotte had arrived, and was saying to De Neefe: "A'm go home now an' feed de cow, den AM come back for beeg tam." He shambled off to his farm, a quarter-mile away. Van Bruchen was heading for the dining room when Father Van Loosman called to him to wait. The priest took him by the arm and said: "You are coming to the meeting to-night. aren't you?" The giant nodded. "I will come" he said slowly. "Good! Have a cigar, Van Bruchen." The man's teeth set with a click. His hands were clenched behind his back. But the priest was smiling so kindly that finally he reached out and took it. He bit the end off. Father Van Loosman was holding a light. "You should like the cigar, Van Bruchen. My sister It came from Antwerp. over there sends me a box each month." Van Bruchen looked up quickly. ' You don' buy dose ghude ceegar here, den?" he asked incredulously. The priest lauhed. "With what?" he asked "I'm wondering right now

how we're going to pay for the school. That's why we have these 'booyahs' on Sunday, to try to make a little extra money. Idon't call for direct contributions because I know how hard it is with some of you. Well, let's go in and eat some, anyway." They went into the schoolhouse together. The assembly hall had been The converted into a dining room. long tables were covered with all sorts of tempting salads, pastries, cakes, and Ah, no. fruits. But no "booyah." That must come in direct from the kettles. It must not stand to cool. A score of the parish belles, with neat aprons and bows, stoodi ready to As the two came in, followed serve. by a score of others, the girls went out immediately, and came back with bowls of steaming "booyah." Father Van Loosman stirred some up with his spoon. It was thick and heavy. Peas, carrots, tomatoes, beans, cabbage, celery, rice, strings of richly cooked veal, pork, and chicken. Umh! He looked at Van Bruchen, smiling, then turned to the girl: "This is from the first kettle, I suppose?" "Yes, Father, it has been cooking The other since five this morning. two won't be ready till this afternoon." "Good! A man doesn't have to be so hungry to eat this, eh, Van Brta chen?" Van Bruchen had already plunged in, scooping up the "booyah" noisily and whistling it into his mouth. Every once in a while he would stop to brush The priest ate up his moustache. slowly, talking to the other people at the table, and occasionally turning to Van Bruchen with a smile and a kindly word. When they had finished, each took his cigar from the side of the table where they had laid them. The priest said, lighting up again, "I'll see you tonight at the meeting." Van Bruchen walked slowly home, A change was puffing at the cigar. He liked the going over his mind. smell of the fragrant smoke, and suddenly wished someone would send him some from Antwerp. Or, maybe sometimes he could afford to buy them. Maybe some of these new ideas were like this very thing—he could learn to like them as he suddenly liked the fine cigar better than his inveterate chewing—even, he suddenly recalled, as he had just come to like Father Van Loosman. It seemed to be a case of never having understood before-- the cigar, the priest, the farm problem. They were probably the same, all t hree. That evening Van Bruchen went to As Father Van Loosthe meeting. man shook hands with him, Van Bruchen dug in his inner pocket and produced three silver-wrapped cigars with flaming bands. He gave them to the priest. muttering some embarrassed word, and went in to hear the speaker. He was glad to be there. -Norbert Engels in "America."

CANADIAN RAILWAYS GOOD POSITION. Notwithstanding lower revenues in 1930, due to world conditions and general depression, notwithstanding a greater mileage requiring maintenance, a lower scale of rates, and a higher scale of wages, net earnings of the Canadian National Railways last year were three times greater than those of 1922, _Sir Henry Thornton, President and Chairman, told the Quebec Canadian Club recently. The operating figures he gave, which excluded Eastern lines, showed that gross revenues in 1922 were 223,627,371 dollars, as compared with 221,770,445 dollars in 1930. The gross was therefore about 2,000,000 dollars less. Expenses, however, were 17,000,000 dollars less in 1930 than in 1922, 195,259„507 dollars, as compared with 212,906,671 dollars. Net earnings in 1930 were 26,510,938 dollars, as compared with 10,720,700 dollars in 1922, an improvement of 16,000,00 dollars. In the meantime a first class railway system was being constructed out of the chaos of a number of old dilapidated, unconnected lines, and the Canadian National system emerged as a transcontinental railway fully equipped for its great task to serve the public with intelligence and efficiency as well as integrity.—Perth agents, Thos.
