Sir,-Some years ago A typhoon struck this colony causing great loss of life and some damage to property. The incider is not yet forgotton and when typhoon signals are now hoisted there is considerable
activity preparing for a dangerous contingency. Those who warn ua of approaching danger perforen a very useful service even if they give us no further assistance in preparing to meet the danger or in showing us how to avoid it. If we do not take these steps ourselves we must take the sequences.
Civilizations that existed before
ou have broken up and perished, The condition of our own is at present far from vigorous. Like those who issue the typhoon warnings, Dr. Hodgkin has pointed cut some symptoms which, like the grossly unequal distribution D wealth, indicate danger of world wide magnitude. He has not indicated how to meet the danger or how to avoid it. But he has advised us to take the matter into consideration--
to discuss it amongst ourselves. He
