The return ot prosperity to Britain, and all other countries, depends tirttt and foremost on the Ichievement ot sane international agreements to re. lieve the burden and the increase at armaments, to remove the incubus 't debts, to remedy the causes which have thrown the currencies ot half the world into the melting pot, and to cut the bonds which strangle international trade. --Econotttist (London). Quality and Quantity l The Americanization or industry in Europe has clearly not been a success. High tariff protection. rationalization, old-established societies ot highly and mass-production are ot no use to skilled people. They bore remarkable results in the United States because tti its vast internal market, its undevelop- ed resources, its continuous supply ot cheap immigrant labour. its sell-suf- tieietttsy in raw materials. Even in the United States the limit of the benefita to be obtained trom rationalization and mass-production seems to have been reached, and indeed overpassed. There never were any bettetita for Europe in turning from craftsmanship to mass- production; and to craftsmanship Eur. ope should return.--Prot. R. B. Mowat in The Contemporary Review (Lon- don l.

Smokers' Eyes Better At Seeing Red Lights Toronto.-trr the third comecutive year in its record 12 years of progress, the Canadian Life Insurance Otheers' Association voted to expend $75,000 in Canadian publications during the forthcoming year. A series of adver- tisements, expounding the principles of life insurance. as protection for de. pendents and for old age income, will appear in 73 English and French newspapers and 18 English and French farm publications from coast to coast in Canada. Insurance Officers to Spend $75,000 in Publications In 1931, in the face of the financial situation, the association’s members voted to more than double its adver- timing outlay feeling that the neces- sity of nequiring life insurance and retaining existing policies should be stressed during periods of reduced in- come. The following year it repeated its decision, voting $75,000 again. This year it voted to maintain the standard set two years ago. For 12 years the association has been widening its active sphere until in the past two years it has attained a record, it is stated, unequalled on the North American continent in co- operative institutional advertising.

Ancient Chinese Wall Offered for Sale Meihsien is an important center for the distribution ot goods to the in- terior ot Kwangtung Province. Several years ago the city wane began to disintegrate when bricks were removed to provide culverts tor new bus roads. Then, in 1929, came two attacks by Communists and the battlements,were hastily repaired. Recently 'there has been agitation in favor ot tearing down the wall to make room tor shops. The Mayor finally decided to divide the wall in. to ten-toot length, each selling tor a little more than 8100. Each buyer is responsible for tearing down his portion ot the wall and he may r'e. tain the bricks as building material tor the construction ot his shop. Half of the wall has been thug dls- posed ot " a total return uf about $60,000. This money is being expend- ed on the building ot titteett two. storey towers ccmmnnding all ot the roads entering Melhsien. Ten ot these forts have already been com- pleted, the towers being of reinforc- ed concrete. New State Pictured Totroretoa--A bright picture of Can- ada in the future was painted by Reg- inald H. Dean for the St. Lambert Women's Club at its recent meeting here. Mr. Dean visualized a new world where the "God standard" not the gold standard would prevail, and the teachings of the Great Master of nineteen hundred years ago would find a definite place. Poblema would be faced from a different angle than that of ten years ago; a greater individual responsibility would be apparent.

Santa Claus Down South of Canada’s Future Young Men of Britain Have All-Year Camps London.--An organization known " Grith Fyrd Camps has come into ex- istence in response to the popular de- mand. A chain of permanent camp communities is being formed in which young men of all classes can live a worth-while life, even if precluded from earning a living. The project was initiated by the Order of Wood- craft Chivalry, a social and education- al organization, which has had sixteen years' experience of year-round camp- mg. It is more than an unemployment scheme, for it aims at filling needs which would be urgent if there were no unemploymenb-t1) for the regain- ing by young men of that personal experience of primitive adventure which was lost in the migration from country to town; (2) for the con- structive use of readiness to face dun- ger and difficulty in serving their country; and (3) for education in the purpo.ssful use of the leisure which humanity has secured by the ellbora- tion of machines. Members of Grith Fyrd Camps set about the task of learning by first- Land experience how to control them- selves and each other, or, in other words, how to live in communities Ind yet find life adventurous and satisfy- mg. The frst camp has been constructed close to the bank of the Avon It Gods- hill near Fordingbridge, on the north. western edge of the New F orest, twelve miles from SOL thampton.
