C. Chichester, famous New Zealand flyer, who was attempting to blaze an air trail from Australia to England via the Aleutian glands and Canada, and of Capt. Wolfgang von Gronau, the German ace, who is essaying a round the world flight with Prince Rupert as one of his scheduled resting places. Chichester is wrecked in Japan while von Gronau is on the Atlantic. Should either or both flyers reach here, they would be assured of a real welcome from Prince Rupert citizens. Regular round the world flying service may be a development of the comparatively near future. It is quite possible that Prince Rupert may be an important stopping place in the schedule for any such service. This would result in valuable and constant publicity for the city and port. . THE DOLE IN The number of unemployed in Australia is calculated at 300,000. The dole system is reducing our national powers of recovery, and making utter collapse and chaos quite possible things. For those 300,000 people, whether they are actually on the dole or not, have to be fed and clothed and housed in a fashion. Staggering taxation is therefore being collected; thousands of taxpayers are being called upon to pay this year from 50 to 100 per cent of all they can possibly earn in the twelvemonth. Money which in the ordinary course would be available for investment for starting or extending enterprises has been and is being used up in the maintenance of this vast army of non-producers. We are consuming our reserve of financial 'strength and-energy ; and everybody knows how slow recovery is when that happens. Sydney Bulletin.

The Letter Box FROM NORTH ISLAND Editor. Dail News: The fishing season will soon be over here and for the average man it has been apretty poor one. Prices have been low and the fish have not been very plentiful Expenses have been high In comparison with the prices received for fish. Some of the howlers with resources of their own and fishing for sport while they trust for an easy pull during the winter, being as they are wlthqut responsibility have enjoyed the hard times that some of the others have had, especially the men with families. There have been obstructions with absurdly long outside lines or dog lines In a crowd, these being exclusively used by the hogs, the shameless or maybe the new man who does not know any better. All work together to reduce the economical result of the fishing. What is the prospect for next year? NORTH ISLAND FISHERMAN Capt.
