N= a SN ey & 'o, ot a, xX o, OO This Have and Have Not Busi- ness, by Sir Norman Angell" (The Musson Book Company, Limited, Toronto), $1.50, i" y Sooner or later, when a group of people gather together today, the economic situation crops up as + a- topic of conversation--and ev- eryone present will offer. their opinjon on just what is wrong and the possibilities of war. The result is a confusion of ideas and no one is clearer on this engros- sing subject at the end of the de- 'bate. Sir Norman Angell in this little handbook, deals with every angle of the complex economic situation. He: declares '", , , there is grave danger of our misconceiving fun- damentally the nature of the problem which faces us, of re- garding it as one mainly of the redistribution of "property" be- tween the "haves" and the "have- nots," . . . To put national and --~social values in direct conflict with economic neetis is to make confus- ion worse confounded. . . . The danger to the world at this mom- ent is not ill will, not malice not wickedness -- it is confusion.

On 'the March", these pertinent conclusions are made: (1) Conquest of territory is not necessary to ensure adequate supplies of raw material. (2) Successful = war does 'not enable a nation to dispose of the the surplus that cannot be sold at home. C (3) AVar is not necessary for the purpose of opening new arcas of investment. (4) Successful war does not enable a. nation to collect debts. And in his final summary, Sir Angell writes: Our problem is not to redistribute property but to or- gdnize a process. It is precisely the illusions of "ownirship" and "national property" whic mainly have stood in the way of organiz- ing that process in the past, and may do so again. It is as though a community, vitally 'dependent upon unimpeded traffic on the highways--as most modern com- munities are--were trying to solve the problem by each "own. ing" a bit of the road and then quarrelling about the owneuship. . instead of each doing his part to make traffic rules workable," " Joachim Von Ribbentrop, German Ambassador to Court of St. James is pictured departing from Buck- ingham Palace in London after pre- senting credentials to King Ed- ward VIII, State Street in bathing puit,-in payme added' to her discomfort on occasion, Sally O'Brien, Chicago coffee shop waitress, runs gauntlet of curious in Chicago as she promenades down nt for betting on Landon in Roosevelt landslide election, Chill winds 1 Early Days in Ontario yp ee Howe Martin in the Canadian Geographical Journal (Ottawa), writes:--~Champlain was 'the first white man to pass Kingston way, re- turning with the Hurons from that wer expedition against the Iroquois which had first brought him to the Lake. With the name of Fort Fron- tenac the place was first inhabited by the French, a fort being built in 1673 after the famous Council meeting 'between Governor kronteny ac and the Iroquois here. The or- iginal site is mow occupied by the Tete du Pont Barracks in Kingston, and remnants of the walls exist be- neath the present wall surfacing. La Salle the explorer was the first com- mandant of the fort. La Salle him- self was granted a seigneury by King- Louis the Magnificient at Cataraqui, very close, and it was he who built Frontenac's fort in stone. He also built ships for sailing on Lake Ontario in the fur trade. When Canada was captured by the British, Kingston received its present name, and shortly thereafter received an influx of United Empire Loyalist settlers.

He said that with general goodwill and de- termination for peace he was. cone vinced no difficulties would be nsup- erable in the pursuit of peace. . Dealing with Italy and the Medi- terranean, he emphasized that there had never been on the British side any Anglo-Italian differences. -Diffi- culties were due to the attempt of Great Britain loyally to discharge her international obligations. ~ - As far as Britain was 'concerned, he saw no reason why it should not be possible to reach a compiete un- derstanding, where misunderstanding in some quarters existed. History showed that Anglo-Italian interests in the Mediterranean were not diver- gent, but complementary. And the greatest of those interests for both countries was peace. Doctor Says to Worry Wisely Worry, If- we nced-to say-so; is--a--~ worrisome subject. It is perhaps the most widespread of mental afflictions, '{ and, to our way of thinking, it is a affliction. \ Since you're probably addicted to the worry habit, as well as your neighbor, you undoubtedly will be in: terested in reading what a noted Brit. ish scientist, Dr. F. W. Boreham, has to say about worrying. "Worry," he writes, "is a very good thing in its way. Obviously, we were made 'to worry; but we were mniade to worry wisely. We were made to take life seriously and to feel the gra. vity of things. The man who never worries about his business will never 'have a business. worth worrying about. It is only through mental stress--the stress that follows upon failure and discontent--that improve: ments are devised and remedies con- ceived.

It is our duty to worry about one or two things---big things; the things that we were sent {nto the _ world to worry about, Instead of be- ing content to worry on this moder. ate and conservative scale, we fool. ishly proceed to worry about every- thing! Having once acquired the art of worrying, we allow the art to de- generate into a habit; we lose all sense of proportion, and we quickly pay the penalty. "Worrying must be rendered artis- tic. It is the duty of the novelist and the dramatist to introduce a noble ar- ray of character; but they must be careful to make one or two, stand out from all the rest. By the very consti. tution -of--our minds, we wre incap- able of taking an equal interest in a multitude of heroes. The artist may introduce into his painting a thous- and separate objects; but one or two must stand conspicuously. "We are born worrfers; and our education is not complete until it has taught us to use, artistically. and scl- entifically, this fundamental propen- sity. But a wise man will make it his business to discover the things that are really worth worrying about: and, having made his discovery, will sot himself with all his heart to wor- ry about those things--and about nothing in. all the world beside." And this should- give you something to worry about. Now you'll have to worry about the things to discover that are worthwhile worrying about, | The Silver Jubilee express, Brit. ain's fastest train, earns 12s profit for every mile she covers. accords ing to figures published by the L,N.- E.R.
