(The way they write biogra- >phies and autobiographies nowaciays they're just like no- vels, anyway.) The cemmentator says that the novelist once aimed at telil- ing a story and at the samnc tinte conveying bis awn Ideas on life. This held the attention cf the simplest reader. Today's novelists are ail tied up in psy- chological knots. No one can understand tbcm. George Eliot (Mary Ai-n Evans) was easy enougb te un- derstand. But- Gordon Haight, who has just edited the aa- thor's letters, must have had a chore sorting out the 3,106 items he used in the collection. Of the Jetters and extracIs from jeurnals, 2,117 were wrmn- ten by George Eliot herse.f, and 989 pieces were about lier. It is net hikely that current nevelists will leave any such, leg-acy behind thent. The age cf letter writing bas passed. But I suppose Jettera xvill be as valuable in the future for their rarity as they once were for their content.

Getting Ahead 0f Ourselves By Joseph Lister Rutledge Il la rather easy te believe tbat being free, white and twenty- one we slîculd be able te do and en.iey anything tîtat anyone cisc, with the saine charactenistics, can do and enjcy. Unfortunàtely thia isn't q uite as reasenable a conclusion as we would like te believe.

A short whihe ago Mr. Stuart Armeur, economic advlser te the President of the Steel Company cf Canada, told an audience Of a very good reason why we can't do exactly evcrything that our neighbor may do. The reasen is that, prosperous as Canaa un- doubtedly la, her grass natiaonal product per individual is stil, 301 per cent lesa than that cf the Unitcd States. It should be obvieus that when -'acit cf us Canadians lias 30 per cnt less national production tei ri-a\w upon thait cur neighbors ,,%, cannot hope te do everythiag lie does and in the same way. It is a miatter cf net having it te But flot evcrybody, as Mr \rniour points eut, bias recegniz: ed this differerîc. The CIOI unions in Canada, urged an byl the parent unions ini the United! States, are asking that wageý rates here shall be exactiy the' same as those paid in the United, States. That la like asking you î te spend money you haven't gel.! Of course it can be made te ap-, pear thal we have got il, but the' fact la tthat cur resources a re vag-es they do across the fine. because we den't produce the' ,,oods to provide the xvcalth te, niakc the wages possible.
