The Rev. W, E. Woodhams Den-
Sir Walter Ranciman, the ship. owner, declares that there is a abortage of junior officers for the Mercantile Marine. The shortage, he ays, has been enused by the of the Board of Trade examinations, the greater part of which i niere rubbish.

Questioned on the subject Captain Coombes, general manager of the Officers (Merchant Navy) Federa. tiou, observed that, although thero is a shortage, Sir Walter Runci- man'a reason was "sheer nonsasi.”
The knowledge which a Mer- chant Navy Oficer must have is highly specialized," he went
on.
The Vestris case showed that. One of the points emphasised was that officers should have the fallest possible knowledge about their ships."
The reason he gave, however, is more serious, and one with which most people will have the utmost sympathy, especially at a time
when the terrors of the ees have been emphasised by the tempestu- uus weather and the shipwrecks all round the coast.
Unattractive Pay.
"There is undoubtedly a shortage of junior certificated officers," he said. "We are able to place at least six officers daily without any difficulty. Unfortunately, the rea- The sons are not far to had. number of boya anxious to follow the sea is, fortunately for the Em- pire, as large as ever. The tragedy is that so many, either during or shortly after their cadetship, find the pay and conditions so unattract ive that they make every endeavour to go ashore and launch out on a new career.

Modern developments "make a quick turnround of steamers im- perative. That is, they visit port, unload and load again in doublequick time. Unfortunately, the industry has lagged behind in adjusting the leave and pay to the conditions of the general speed-up and consequent increased dutica and responsibilities. Officers in. most ships are able to look for ward to 14 days' leave a year, but this is often given in broken periods.
Few Week-Enda,
"It must be remembered that in most ports abroad ships discharge and load night and day. and throughout week-ends, so that the

"I believe, however, and I hope. that shipowners are awakening to the need for improvement. This Federation, representing nearly. 10,000 officers, exists to present the ense of the service, reasonably and efficiently, without talk of strikes or such suicidal
nonsense. We
know that competitivo dificulties exist in large shipping ports to- day, but we feel confident of being able to prove, not only from the business point of view, but because the matter is really one of the highest Imperial importance, that it will be good business to pay officers that little more which will convert a discouraged but efficient Pervice into body of contented men."

It is learned that the Ministry of Finance in Nanking has completed arrangements for the translation of the Kemmerer Commission's reports and recommendations, into Chinese. The work has been undertaken by the National Research Institute, which has appointed an editorial beard with Mr. Y. W. Wong as the Chairman.

It is a bad example for the young. It is the principle that has to be faced, and our Lord was the embodiment of every Divine and human principle. Many profess to follow Him, yet could a bridge player, nominally A Christian, face Him with con fidence if He should appear when that one is going to the drive with the intention of gambling?
I appeal most earnestly to all who are tempted to indulge in this soul destroying practice to give it up and follow the Master,

W. E. WOODHAMS DENHAM. Miss Elizabeth Craig, the well- known writer, who is a resident of Chorley Wood, said:-
"I think the vicar's attack was inpired by two men who com- phined to him that their wives were spending all their time play. ing bridge, neglecting their homes, and losing 100 much money. The vicar then altneked bridge fends from the pulpit and in the parish magazine.
"The stakes played for are 3d, Gd, and 2s. 6d, a hundred; but it is well known that many women who play only for 3d. a hundred lose £1 a week.
"Some women play all day from luncheon until bed time. Other players are husband-and-wife part- ners who always play together and know each others" game.

The Rev. W. E. Woodhams Den- ham has been vicar of Chorley Woed since 1921. He was a curate at Steyning in 1910-17, and vicar of Southwater 1017-1920.
