HANGES are reflected in two different items in a recent issue of the Saturday Review, a weekly Tory journal in London. many able young men have left the diplomatic service since the war, to take private positions financial rewards and prospects of | advance to responsible posts are | greater. In its financial section, the same Paper says that many "Public school" boys, corresponding to boys from private schools, have an enthus- lastic desire to enter "the manufac- | turing interests of the automobile or motorcycle trades."

Other branches of the civil service have been more or less democratized, but the Foreign Office has remained a preserve of the 'upper classes.' Whether this practice has led to has always Review, like the Morning Post, would probably say "yes." There is a large body of | opinion that looks upon the British diplomatic service as one made up | of exceptionally good men, bred in | @ tradition of public service, even if "aristocratic."

Cana trade agents in a number of countries throughout the world, but in spite of the close re- lation often said to exist between business and diplomacy, there are such things as distinct diplomatic functions and a diplomatic service, Advocates of complete British nationhood for Canada advance as one of their arguments the faot that we would then have Canadian Am- bassadors in all the leading capitals of the world» Such a foreign service, they say, would not only give Can- ada prominent men of her own to watch and further her interests, but it would also open up another career for young Canadians in the service of their country. Meanwhile the Saturday Review says the British Foreign Omce now does not offer many inducements. Its difficulties and disadvantages are described. Its candidates after they have left school, must generally be coached at home in special sub- Jects, and them they must go abroad to learn "languages, men and things." This 13 an expensive schooling. For at least two or three years after others are ginning to draw salaries as soldi , or sailors or city clerks, the candidate for diplomacy is still being prepared for an examination which, if he passes, is supposed to show his fitness to represent Britain in an ofeial eapacity abroad. When he is admitted to the For- eign Office, either in Whitehall or at an Embassy or a Legation, his re- muneration is still "abominably shabby." these drawbacks would be tolerable, however, if there were a clear road to the top. "The pros- pect ought to be an ambassador's post somewhere about the age of 50 or 65." But one ambassadorship after another is "snatched from the diplo- matic service and given to politicians, not all of them successful ones, or to others who--without the least offence --may be classed as outsiders." Three of the great embassies are now filled "by such gentlemen It is evident that tne Saturday lew refers, among others, to Sir Auckland Geddes at Washington and Lord D'Abernon at Berlin, "As things are at present," says the Saturday Review, "the diplo- matic service is, and rightly is, dis- contented amd dissatisfied. As re- Sards salary, it is sweated by the state; as regards Promotion, it is rough-handled by persona necessarily unacquainted with the traditions or usages of diplomacy.' Supporters of the Government's Appointments of Geddes and D'Aber- BOD say that the new world of t needs a different diplomatic hand- lag, and that the "traditions and * of diplomacy must give way to more modern methods.

WATCH THE PAPERS KINGSTON'S GREATEST SALE FIND HOLINESS IN FOREST Buddhist Seekers After High Knowl edge Let Themselves Be Absorbed In World of Nature, The gods were believed to love the high forests om the mountain slopes, and there doubtless they were wor shiped, even as today; every traveler must be struck by the secluded beauty of the ancient groves wherein, in the far Bast, the most famous temples are reared. We may gather from a story In the Upasishads how Satyakama, the cowherd, learned from bis solitary Communing with the wilds some les sons of the unity of man with nature. His Garu, struck by the luminous gaze of the lad, questioned him, "You shine like one who knows God; whe, then, has tanght you?" and was an- Swered "with a radiant smile: "Not men." Even in these early days the seeker after knowledge withdrew into the forest or sought refuge in the moun- tain fastnesses, and in Brahmanic times we are told that contemplation Was practiced "in a place apart, pure, delightful by its sounds, its waters and its bowers, full of shelters and caves." By this means man might himself be absorbed in the world of Dature, and 80 In the divine, Sakyamuni, the Buddha, trained in the Brahmanic school, adopted this discipline of meditation in the pres- ence of, nature into the practice of the religion he founded. All the impor tant recorded events of his life are associated with the works of bature. He received the truth eternal under the Bodhi tree and under it he entered Nirvana; his favorite retreats were the Deer forest, the Bamboo grove, the Vuiture peak, and he and his imme diate followers accepted nothing from convert rajahs of greater value than a grove or a garden plot wherein to set up their rustic shelters of leaves.
