HIGHER PAY FOR SOLDIERS

LIFE "WELTER OF DINNING ACTIVITY"

BANISHED quiet and the "tragedy of

leisure" were discussed by the Church Assembly in London.

It had before it a report of the Social and Industrial Commission on Church and Youth, submitted by the Bishop of London (Dr. Winnington Ingram) and prepared by a number of younger clergy and mem- bers of the Church.

"The real tragedy of this generation," thic report declared, "is that leisure time should be a problem at all.

"We have banished from our common He the last vestige of quiet-cinemas, dog racing, speedway tracks, motoring, and wireless claim our leisure moments to the full.

"We, possess such unfailing sources of pleasurable recreation that we are fast losing the whole art of being quiet, and our lives are in danger of being submereged in a walter of inning pelivity.

"Anyone who tries to teach children to pray in our world of unceasing hubbub must realise that we are faced with more sinister forces of opposition than ever before in history."

Other points in the report were:

"The real tragedy is that while scientific invention has placed tremendous power in our hands no parallel advance, has been made on the side of moral and spiritual progress.

"The teaching of some psychologists and of people In responsible positions with regard to companionate marriage and other sex re lationships is to the adolecent not so much a sense of revolt as a sense of defeat.

"The old conventional standards huve gone and family life is discredited."

A concluding section of the report stated: "The youth of to-day are not a special case; they are as their fathers were and they will as likely respond to Chris- tianity..

UNIVERSITY GIRLS

"What is disastrous is that they should be confronted with a self- conscious attempt to make religion attract them by this and that bribe or inducement; they have enough schse to suspect the bogus."

Vice- Dr. Pickard-Cambridge, Chancellor of Sheffield University, aald that it was sometimes stated that universities were places where "girls lose their manners morala,"

He felt that was untrue,

and

Sir Charles Marston (Lichfield),

referring to a statement about "the Church's undeniable compilelty in

the order of society which regards

dividends with greater respect

than human souls," said this was a "grows exaggeration."

The Assembly agreed to receive the report and to commend the re- commedations to the attention and

consideration of the Church.

SHORTER SERMONS

Dr. E. W. Crossley (Wakefield) apreated in the afternoon session for

shorter sermons.

"The younger generation is less," he said, "Restlessness is be- coming infectious, and people who have been going to church all their lives are now complaining about the 'length of sermons. I do appeal to the clergy to shorten them if they can."

This giant Buddha, which is 70' feet high and is in a temple in Cheklang, was recently regilded at a cost of $0,000.

keen carpenter and carpentry is part of his regular school routine. The picture shows King Peter at work at his bench.

By WILSON BROADBENT MPORTANT decision as to future Lrecruiting for the Regular Army and the Territorials are being made as the result of several conferences which have recently taken place at the War Office.

Some of the decisions already made in principle by the Government will completely change the conditions of service in these Forces.

Mr. Duff Cooper, Secretary for War, should be in a position to announce them to the House of Commons when the Army Estimates are considered, probably early in March.

UNDECLARED WARS, NOW WORLD HABIT HINDER NEUTRALITY, VITIATE PACTS

By Harry W. Frantz

Washington, Feb. 28.

Modern practice of waging war without formal de- claration has made peace instruments ineffectual and raised a difficult problem for statesmen concerned with neutrality principles,

The problem will get attention during neutrality de- bates in Congress, especially because many legislators regard Spain's civil strife as being also the newest "un- declared" war between Fascism and Bolshevism.
