The theory of Social Credit was evolved in this way. _ It was born out of the depression, and if prosperity were to return, it would along with many other quack socialI nostrums, fade into oblivion. ' A New Zealand librarian declares that the "depression"‘ has proved a '“blessing to literature." _ He says there has been a remarkatle growth in literary output in the past few years.

Race is declarâ€" ed a factor of considerable importâ€" ance, as evidenced by the widely differing mortality rates among Caâ€" nadian women of various races, the rates being comparable to those preâ€" vailing in the countries of their orâ€" igin.

In my absence, the second day, she had retrieved the pot, restored it to its place and then thoughtfuly placed the Times over it.
