DISCOURAGING CLIMATE?

By DR. CYRIL ALINGTON. (Dean of Durham)

S

NOME' years ago I quoted fra sermon some lines in praise of England:

There is no land like England, Where'er the light of day be, There are no trees like English

trees,

So tall and green as they be: I was asked for the name of the author, and answered "Tennyson," but subsequent Investigation showed that while he had supplied the general idea and the metrical framework, I had in fact produced the particular sentiments myself.

I still think them to be true, and, however much I may enjoy foreign travel, I always find myself sighing for the green of English fields and for the companionable grandeur of an English wood. Taller trees, no doubt, there are elsewhere, but 1 would match the English Beech at almost any season of the year against the best the world can

LEAGUE AID FOR QUETTA

INTERNATIONAL RELIEF UNION ACTS

MANY NATIONS ASSIST

(By H.P.8. Matthews)

The International Relief Union, an organisation set up jointly by the League of Nations and the International Red Cross Union, has been quick to send aid to the suf- forers from the Quetta disaster. An appeal for funds has been sent out to the Red Cross Societies, and contributions have already been re- colved from America, the Nether lands, Spain and Jugo-Slavia.

This is the second occasion on which India has benefited from the help of the International Relief Union. On the occasion of the Bihar earthquake, financial help was also sont for the sufferers from this source.

Relief Union was due in the first place to the initiative of an Italian, Senator Ciraolo, of the Italian Red Cross. It was he who first urged body at Geneva which would be in the creation of an international a position to place sums of money at the disposal of governments of countries in which a great disaster had occurred of such a magnitude Ice House Street. as severely to strain their national resources.

Senator Ciraolo first suggested the formation of such a Union at a Conference of the International Red Cross. The idea was taken up by the League, and in 1927 a Con- yeation was afgned, which has now been acceded to, by no less than twenty-nine Governments. Among these are the Governments of Great

The scheme is in the nature of an insurance policy, Governments, on acceding to the Convention, pay down a lump sum, and these con- tributions are helped out by volun- tary contributions from private charity... When an occasion arises, the Governing Body of the Union recommends the States Members to make contributions, and such contributions come as a timely assistance to a country which is suddenly overtaken by a great dia- aster such as that at Quetta, Such work is in the highest tradi- tions of International co-operation and friendship, and cannot fail to contribute towards the good rela- tions between nations.
