EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1920.

London, Dec. 30.. The newspapers are-again drawing attention to the appalling conditions in Vienna, where the distress is most acute. It is now announced immediate steps are being taken by England, France, and Italy to give relief. Italy is sending" grain and England large consignments of fats and other food statis. It has also been arranged with Czecho Slovakia, Jugo Slaria and Poland to release a large number of railway trucks for Austrian use.

EMPIRE'S MINERAL RESOURCES.

London, Jan. 1.

Sir Richard Redmayne, interviewed with reference to the work of the Imperial Mineral Resources Bureau, whereof he is Chairman, pointed out the immense amount of valuable work done throughout the Empire since the composition of the Bureau was completed in July 1918. The Bureau had engaged in an extensive statistical classification of the Em- pire's mineral resources through the medium of sixteen technical committees comprising some of the best known mining and metalurgical experts in the Empire. With the view of establishing still closer connexion the Bureau bas suggested that all parts of the Empire appoint qualised representatives to act as corresponding member. Sir Richard mentioned as an unqualified success the experiment adopted" by South Africa and India in sending a mechanical repre sentative to the United Kingdom to keep in close touch with the Bureau The experiment has been of reciprocal advantage.

'TRIBAL TIES.

HOW THEY AFFECT- MODERN NATIONS:

Dr. Arthur Keith, F.R.S Curator of the Royal College of Surgeons' Museum, delivered the Boyle Lecture before the Junior Scientific Club at Oxford recently. He said that the modern problems of race and nationality were due to the struggle between inherited tribal instincts and the conditions of existing civilization. We had broken up, or were attempting to break up, Nature's ancient tribal machinery, and were striv- ing to replace her designs by others evolved in the minds of modern statesmen and politicians.

The United States showed one of the most acute of the struggles which arise whetever races of nationalities came into close contact Within the frontier of the States was massed a popula- tion of 110 millions. Over 10 millions of these inhabitants were marked off from the rest by a frontier a colour line, as sharply defined and jealously guarded as the frontiers of a kingdom. Across that racial frontier all legitimate social traffic was barr ed, custodians of the frontier being those who stood on the white side of the line. Any attempt to cross that racial frontier produced mob war.

While these 10 millions of se gregated citizens abode within their racial fence, they saw millions arrive from Europe and pass freely through the national and social gateways-which for them were barred. In the course of a generation they saw these new arrivals become slowly strip- ped of their alien outlook and gradually incorporated within a new national mass. In the States, then, a machinery. was at work which maintained racial frontiers,

broke down all national barriers. ABSOLUTELY THE LAST PERFORMANCE OF THE FAVOURITES

In Canada a mechanism was at work which converted immigrants of alien nationalities into loyal Canadians. But the artificial segregation of French Canadians in the province of Quebec might tend to turn a national differentia- tion into a racial differentiation. On the other hand, on the Pacific Coast, there was a tendency to maintain a racial barrier against the Japanese and Chinese.

In Spanish America & huge problem had arisen because, while the Nordic race in North America had maintained its dis tinctness from Indian blood, in Mexico and South America an Iberian stock of European orgin bad blended with Indian blood. The Nordic European had pre- served a feeling of race-caste. atsent in the Iberian European, more closely akin to African races, and a still more potent historical influence was that the Iberian immigrants had orginally been male adventurers, in whom the sex-instiot overcame race- instinct, whereas the Nordic im- -migrants had been of bob sexes.

There were two processes of nationalization at work in Europe. All the great nation- alities of Europe had been built

by fusion-Italy. up

Spain, France, Great Britain, and Ger- many. In these cases the process had been from above downwards, from statesmen and rulers to the people.

On the other hand. Nature's method was by disruption. The people of Norway and Sweden were of the same racial composit- ica, and union would have given them strength. Yet a tribal feeling which swept through the people of Norway compelled a disruption.

Ireland was another case in which the tribal instinct had flamed up producing a desire for separation, which had no basis in race or interests. Force would be no response. All that a states. man could do was to provide con- ditions in which a favourable spirit was most likely to develop and mature..
