Canada would certainly have been richer if she had kept out of the World

TODAY'S EXHIBITION MATCH

MEETING OF CHAMPIONS:

As already reported, there will be au exhibition match this afternoon at the Hard Courts of the University (adjoin ing the Registrar's Office) between Ng Sze Kwong and Ng Ste Cheung, probably the best Chinese pair, and H. D. Bum jahn and 8. A. Rumjahn, the best of the Indians and the holders of the Open Doubles Championship of the Colony for two years, 1995-1998 The match should prove a great attraction to lovers of the game and should prove to be one of the best doubles games for a long time, as the pairs have never, hitherto, met before either in a match or in practice,

Interest has certainly become greater since the first announcement was made, and a good many seats have already been # 5 takon up. It is confidently expected that

QUESTION OF SPECIAL TAXATION.

Several wonderful proposals are abroad. for further State interference in domestic affairs. On the one hand, there is that angular impertinence of the Cost-Com mission which has recommended that system of family allowances should be adopted as part of the readjustment of miner's wages. On the other there is a revival of the proposal to subject bache lors to special taxation. These and lar ideas seem to have a fascination for the politicians of to-day It is a singular comment on the working of Democracy that this is so. No Dictator or Autocrat

would dare to adopt thera, just as no arbitrary despot would dare to insist that his subjects should drink ginger beer or water.

How the family allowance crania got invited to give evidence before the Cosl Commission is a mystery. The Malthu sians who believe that all would be wall the miners had fewer babies ware not invited to offer their opinions. Nor were the Vegetarians who believe that the world would be better if miners and everybody else eschewed meat. Nor were the Mormous. To have selected - Miss Eleanor Rathbone from among all the multitude, at cranka does seem a little in vidious. Her pet solution of family allowances seems the least suitable at the of the unhappy plight of the miners to- present juncture. One of the main causeà

day is that there are too many of them. It in well known that mining is a more miners-form a casto far more than ang hereditary, occupation than any other;: other trade. It is equally a fact that miners have more babies than any other class of workers. They have twice as many babies as solicitors, for instance.. France is the country where the family allowance idea has caught on, and the birth-rate. It does seem absurd, there- motive has been frankly to increase the

There afe, no i doubt, bachelors who could well afford to marry, but there are more still who are single because they cannot afford to be anything else. Many single men are so because the Feminist movement, robbed the women of their age of their coupled with Post-War manners, have attractions for them.
