Oct. 24, 1931 INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC OPINION. Until the last few years international public opinion has not amountd to much. It has not meant anything. Now that it has been crystallized through the League of Nations it has become a powerful influence and happily it is an influence for peace. Just now we find Japan attacking Manchuria with what looked like a movement toward conquest. Immediately the League of Nations takes action and the United States is induced to join hands with that international organization for the first time. Practically all the nations of the world make joint representations to Japan, and the effect is to prevent continuation of hostilities. The announcement that the C.P.R. and the Canadian Natonal Railways have agreed to a plan for better cooperation for the purpose of cutting down expenses is one that will be received with satisfaction all over the country The more the.railvays cost to operate the higher will be the freight rates arid the people of the country, chiefly the producers, are the ones wno pay the bill. While at times competition is the life of trade, too keen competition starves those who are in business, especially when there is a duplication of services. If the railways can operate more economically they can pay dividends and also can give low freight and passenger rates. . , It is the fear of the rate for wheat export being set too high that causes many people to oppose the operation of the P.G.E. as' a grain carrying railway. To set a rate that would Jbe profitable over that line would mean that the farmer would get less for his produce. The same grain could be hauled to Prince Rupert at two-thirds of the cost, probably less. - If that line were built first the rate would be set for it and the rate to Prince Rupert, under the present system, would have to be the same. In all businesses today people are looking for greater efficiency and greater economy, In that way they expect to meet the conditions with which all are faced. Contributed Hyge Sum To Assist Employment C.P.R. Spent more than $11,060,000 on new Branch Lines and station buildings anil provided 351,000 days work for men otherwise unemployed. Cooperated by doing work years ahead. ore the commencement of the SI tztiUcg economic situation the Canadian Pacific Railway his spent matter of eleven-to twelve million dollars in providing wrk for unemployed Canadians. When it was apparent ia the laU summer of 1930, that certain areas of southern Saskatchewan were to offer from almost complete crop failure, the Company took upon itself to assist the people in that territory by beginning the construction of a branch line between vanguard ad May- ronne. This line would not, in the ordinary course of events, have been built for some time, and certainly not at a time when there was no crop available in that particular territory. ttilf tha font- c.u.r.aMr. pany dealred to rive employment to the farmers and their teams in the drought area. The total cost ot th line ia MUmated to be approximately $1,000,000, and this work la still proceeding. The Dominion Government tub-eequenUy undertook considerable work for tho unemployment relief, and the Canadian Pacific was called upon to eoonerat. Thia the Company did to the limit of iu ability by anticipating works which would, normally, not havt keen started for BumW of yaars. These works included a number of new branch Mom, the building of a dw station at tlegina, some grade revialon In Ilrltish Columbia, and alto the application on various subdivisions of new rail and new rock and gravel ballait. The total vot ot these works were estimated at 111,514,000 and, according to agreement with the Government, are to be completed at the end of the current year. It is true that the Dominion agreed to pay interest for a limited period on this capital cost, but after receipt of this interest, the Canadian Pacific will ttill have expended over 110,600.000 from its own Treasury ia order to Improve the situation ia the country generally. This expenditure has been made at a time when the Company's revenues are. uffering severely as a result of business depression. This programme ot work, undertaken ia order to cooperate with the Government, had given 351,000 days work to individuals otherwise unemployed up to August Slst last, and at September 14th it was es tlmsted that approximately 100,-000 more working days would be furnished before the works were completed. Although the Company has succeeded In making substantial reductions in operating costs, it has hesitated to pursue its collrr of economy to the limit out of retard or me serious omigsuon wnlcn rests upon all corporations to give as much employment as possible.

Among uncivilized same cry. Their founders appeared to be conscious of a power greater than themselves and they undertook the task of seeking to solve the problem. Religion as a product of human natiire places all religions on the same common level and does not recognize the special claims of any particular one of them. Today the religions of the world are known. Their doctrines liave been carefully examined; their spiritual values determined, and the results each has had upon civilization. In deciding the value of any religion three things have to be carefully taken into consideration.

Charles E. Motte . Secretary of the Prince Rupert Ministerial Association It is now generally recognized that no race of people1 has been shown to be without some form of worship, and modern research accounts for such a universal phenomenon by stating that reiigion is the product of human nature and is, therefore, the outcome of natural instinct. The Bible has spoken on this question long before science was ever thought of. It tells of how . 'God created man in His own image, degrading theory of women's in the highest and most Intelligent of fertority.

Not one of these religions has been found in experience to fit In with the needs of an advancing civilization. However. It vould be a mistake to seek to depreciate their value, as each one has made a notable contribution In the progress of history. Their founders were somewhat in the position of a worm living Its life out In a circular drain pipe. They had indications of a life beyond their own and although bound by the confines of their own existence, they tried to establish a relation it reveals between God and man;jshlP wlth unknown powers. and the effect IV has upon civiliza tion.

He revealed God, also' making known i the Fatherhood of God. and the brotherhood of man. He showed how sin separated man from God and how this could be so dealt with that man may be brought into com- ' munion with God as his Father. In the accomplishment of this the cross stands out as the central factor In the Christian religion. 1 The world is growing more and i more of a unity and there is a growing need for a universal religion which recognizes the oneness ;of humanity, and which Is adaptable to the needs of advancing . civilization. After twenty centuries of experience the religion of Jesus ' has proved its value as a universal 1 religion. It has operated in every environment, among all nations, among educated and Illiterate people, and among lower as well as higher civilizations. There has been a world wide testimony to the Gospel Message revealing God, ako to (he bringing of men Into communion with Ood; also to satisfying the demands of man's capacity for Spiritual Life. The historic de velopment of the religion of Jesps is seen closely allied with the advancing life of humanity. It has never failed to minister to the grow-i Ing and ever changing world, and a ' religion which does this can claim to have within it the elements of universality.
