AIRSHIP MAILS TO INDIA. FINANCIAL RISK TO THE NATION SMALL.

Commander Barney has an interesting letter in The Timer on the financial aspect of his proposed airship service to India.

In his general eply to the debate on the Air Estimates, Ar: Leach stated that the total amowe

of the taxpayers money which it

was intended to put into the scheme was £4,500,000. Standing by itself, write, Commandes Burney, this gives a totally wrong idea both of the scheme and of its financial implications.

INDIAN MENTALITY. LEISURE RATHER THAN HIGHER WAGES.

its

Even when opportunities are afforded to the Indian labourer to earn higher wages (says Mr. P. P. Pill in the Calandra Revier) he uses his greater earn- ing power to do less work, and enjoy great leisure, rather than to gara mers by working more regularly or by improving his officiency Employers desirous of taining regular labour and improving efciency have often lamented how the offer of higher wages has failed to bring Our proposals the proposals of those about an increased desire for material who have a faith is the airship that, is comfort. This attitude is in marked con- based on a large amount of post-Armis trast to that of the English #gricultural Lice experiment and starch and who are labourers during the economic depression anxious its commercial milting potentialities divide themselves fole legiined a temps way made by the

To each and every migrainous end in most violent neuralgics says Dr. G. Crooksbank in the Mediral jerse and Grenleri there is repression of the fraga and humiliation " felt in fate of some problem practical, "ethical, or intellectual. that appears insalúbie. "The problem re- maing insoluble so long, ne personal re sponsibility, gir the failure in action, or personal, indequaty for the failure in thought, remains unacknowledged, and so long as the alecision which must follow athe admission is thereby avoided.. The brain-storm of the migrainous, and that of the neuralgic, are défenco and flight and excuse mechanisms, analogous to those which, during the War, we found exhibit- ed in face of physical danger.
