Think of the world even 60 years hence. Who can doubt that for the long distances to India, Australia, New Zealand, the Cape, the West Indies, the F.M.S., Hong Kong, and to other ports the ordinary means of transport will be by air? Already the girdle of the earth, measured "by time, shrinks every year. Weeks are dwindling into days, miles are as furlongs, and time, not distance, is the gauge by which we reckon how near we are today. With great respect may I make a suggestion to this present Imperial Conference? What do we need? More research .work, more machines, more orders for struggling firms, a. more perfect chain of refuelling stations along air routes are wanted. All these things cost money. We, the overtaxed people of the old Mother Country, are doing our best. Individual firms, shareholders, and pioneers have contributed splendidly to such progress as we have made. Has not the time come when the other parts of the Empire should take some share of responsibility for our air future? Will they not help to safeguard air trade routes as they have helped our Navy in the past, in that same spirit of comradeship and in our common interests? CREATIVE EVOLUTION THEME OF GENERAL SMUTS General Smuts, former premier of South Africa, and prior to that a Boer general fighting against Great Britain, has written ia book on philosophy which show's that the Boer mind Is developing fast and is in sharp contrast to'the ideas held by the late Oom Paul Kruger.who was his military, leader, and who believed that the world was flat. Here is what a reviewer of his recent book says: He reveals himself in this book as a whole-hearted advockte of thephilosophy of creative eyolution, the philosophy which, more than ahy other, is in the main stream of modern thought. The main idea of .the book occurred to the author, we are told, 16' years ago; ana, ;uoging irom the absence of references to such writers as Alexander Whitehead, and BroatL U seems to have been developed very' largely Tn Independence of those who were wprkjug along the same Iine.This makes General Smuts' work the more remarkable and reinforces the couyiction that .the main lines of the philosophy developed here will form part of the coming general outlook. The theory of creative evolution aims at replacing the old materialist philosophy which has reigned, in science at any rate, for the lastithree centuries. 'The'-task is an urgent one, for the progress of science itself has made materialism untenable,. Materialism was never satisfactory when applied to the phenomena 'of life ahd'mlnd,1 but His only recently .that it has been found inadequate even in Ire region of inanimate matter. The old fundamental scientific concepts of matter ,force, etc, must be replaced, or at least supplemented, by a different set. Professor Whitehead proposes to replace them. General Smuts is .content, apparently, to -supplement them. His supplementary concept is what he calls holism. There is evidence, he thinks, of a tendency throughout the universe to create larger ; and more perfect wholes, from the smallest whole namely, human, personality. A whole, as General Smuts conceives: it, is not the mere sum of its parts, Its parts are not fixed, permunent Units, which remain the same whatever combinations they enter into. The pattern or plan of the whole influences its parts. Thus we cannot imagine properties irrespective of the onranlsin of which It fm-ma part. Certain facts about cells cannot be explained without reference to the organism as a whole. "Thus if the crystalline lens is removed from the eye of a Triton, the iris will regenerate a new lens, although the lens and the iris in this case have been evolved fromcjuite different parts." Even in explaining the phenomena- of inorganic mauer this conception of wholeness or holism may be use- iuuy employed, but when we come to the phenomena of life and rnind.it is essential. The greatest whole that has yet emerged is human personality, It is from ihe analysis of this whole that we derive our concepts of mind and, body. Neither mind nor body exjsts separately. A mind-Jess body and a body! ess mind are both abstractions. What we ac tually knovnjep$rieneej8 the, organic combination of them called ,l)ersonantr. ' General Smuts suggests that the most Important science oi tne luture win be the Btudy of human personality. He suggests a name for this science personology. ' It may be studied at present in biographies, but the biographies must be carefully selected. The man from whom we can hope to learn most of the possibilities of human development is the man with a rich and growing . inner life. The business man or the administrator Is of very little use for this purpose, General Smuts thinks, since he is so occupied with the external world ns to have developed almost no inner life at all. Personality is precisely what these "great person-ulities," lack. But in certain artists and saints may be found examples of the, loftiest synthesis that creative evolution has yet achieved on this planet.

PULLEN - Managing Editor. DAILY EDITION. Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1926 APPEAL TO DOMINION'S A1RF0KCE, DEVELOPMENT. In Great Britain numerous appeals are being made by prominent men to the Dominions to hclji develop the airforce and commercial air routes, something Ayhich has been done to a small extent already by people of that country. Here is one of the appeals made through the columns of the London Times by Lord Montagu of Eeaulieu: My old friend Lord Sydenham, with whom I sat on the War Air Committee in 1916, has reminded ns oh Trafalgar Day of certain new factors, such as "roads, railways, and petrol," Involved in the protection of ocean highways, But surely the most powerful modern factor is air power and the seaplane. Man's control does not "end with the shore"a3 formerly, for the air has no limits and extends over land and sea alike. It is not only on the sea that our trade routes must be protected a few years hence, tjut in the air; and for the sea trade routes also, the seaplane, combining five times the range of vision and four times the speed of a destroyer, with the power of a long-range gun able to hit 250 miles away, is nowadays the most efficient means of patrol, defence, and attack!. Again, wherever there ia a naval base nowadays there should be an air base also to supplement and secure the naval units there. Our obvious task today is to lay the foundations of Imperial Air Routes. We must have seaplane bases suitable for the R.A.F. and for commercial machines as well, and air ports as well as sea ports on Imperial routes. lie toil his skate and polished thrtn; And also had them ground.

I tell him one U ' over the recommendation for one week younger than the other and In the meantime to aend a driest-1 lion confuting of Alderaaea Stephens, Joe Oreer an B P. Perry to Interview Superintendent Tobey In regard to opening a road connecting the Canadian National dock with the Provincial Government dock. Alderman Perry urged that the work of laying the main be authorised at once and Alderman Stephens objected to doing It unless the Railway Company was wUllng to build the desired road. Alderman Stephens alia Insisted that If1 a six Inch main was buUt as tar as Cow Bay It should be continued along ihe waterfront to give other owners of property equal protection. The suggestion that the road con cession be asked came from acting Uayor Masey who presided. He said the road could be built for about four thousand dollars. If the city was willing to da one job, the railway should be willing to do the other. Alderman Perry thought it uselesa to fight. They would not get anything that way. Here was a man going to buUd a G3.000 building. He moved that they buy the pipe to be paid for by next year's council. Alderman Brown said It was essential to have fire protection. It seemed that if they were to spend four thousand on this work the Railway Company should spend four thousand dollars on the road. Alderman Perry urged that the report on the water be accepted and then they could take up the matter of the road with Superintendent Tobey. After a great deal of discussion It was decided to -bold over the report for a week and tn the meantime the committee will meet Mr. Tobey tn regard to tbe road. C.U'SUC KE.MAKKS After the matter was shelved lor a meek, Edward Llpsett, who was present In the council chamber, made a few caustic remarks about using this appli cation as a lever to get something else front the railway company. He had a! ready spent several thousand .dollar on ;he ground and he wanted tire protection. The council, he thought, might settle their arguments with the CJCJt afterwards. The Board of Fire TJndtr- writers Insisted on a six inch pipe be fere they would give an Insurance rate. He said be thought the policy of the council was wrong. They were asking industries to come here and refused to give them facilities. In tie course tf the discus it on some remarks were made about tbe raUway refusing to do anything in spite of the lew tax rate given them by tbe city. Next year they would be called upon to renew their agreement with the raUway and they would then know what action to take. The raUway benefitted from then leases on the waterfront for which the city was called upon to provide fa cllltles.
