AN OPEN CONFESSION
When Britain saw where she Was drifting, financially and
othei’.wise, she made a good confession, betook herself to. .Hie
mourners. bentelx and -stayed there till she purged herself of her
offences of mixing and muddling. Nor did she leave the place of
humiliation and meditation till she took stock, interviewed) her
banker and, what is best of all tightened her belt and set herself
to real rolled-up-sleeves work. Britain is learning that a theory"
of trade, ox* of anything else, is of value only so long as it works-
Further, she has made the valuable discovery thxj.t no theory woi&s
well unless it is well worked. There are others who will be doing
well by following Britain’s example.

MUST BE CAUGHT AND PUNISHED
, 'The poultry thief is abroad again. There -is little wonder*
that he is about his 'miserable job as authority still treats Ids-
work as a sort of commendable pastime. A woman may .spend
years in developing a flock of broilers oi’ layers, putting money"
and time into her enterprise only to have some sneaking vandctl
seize her birds and in a single night destroy the enterprise that-
lias been mighty costly in the building. When authority is noti
fied of her loss authority smiles complacently. No serious effort
is put forward to apprehend) the thief and when caught no punish
ment that in any effecient manner acts as a deterrent to future
depredations is meted out. Evidently parliament regards chiCkeix
stealing as a trivial and a somewhat praiseworthy activity.

TREATING TRUANCY
Judge Mott, who has proven the children’s friend, of Toronto,
and who does hiis full share to help the erring boys, reminds the
public that truancy is a childish condition that requires treatment,
just as measles or other diseases requires treatment.
It is quite true, as the learned judge points out that truancy
has a cause. When a .child plays truant, his home, fiis health, Ills
school need looking after. Truancy may be a situation. It is not
an accident any more than sickness is an accident.
What is to he feared is that truancy is not regarded as a- ■ -
serious condition by fax’ the great majority of officers whose duty
it is to look after such matters. Pound keeping, dog catching and.
truancy work are too often on a par as far as the truancy officer’s,
actual performance is concerned. It’s a sin and a .shame when this-
condition exists, a sin. and a shame that lie at the doors of the per
sons appointing the truancy officers.

A FAMILY BUSINESS GATHERING
Fateful" beyond all telling is likely to prove the gathering to—
getlxer of the various branches of the British nation to consult
regarding the best way of conducting the business affairs of the-
Empire'.
Some, nations have regarded the British Empire as an empire
that evisted to be exploited. When dealing with- her the last,
thing that some governments seem to have considered 'has been
“How may we co-operate with her for the betterment ' of the'
world?” but deeds have proven that their one consideration lias
‘•been “How can our selfish aims be promoted at her expense?”1
Well, the Empire has ferown tired of that sort of thing. She still
is ready to stand with every one who stands right. Nevertheless
she is goclfl .and tired of acting as the milk cow' of the world. She
has been patient to a degree, but now she is getting reads'- to
protect her own interests. She thinks that a. dose out of their
own bottle is the very thing that other* nations sadly need. The
Empire seems to have about attained the age of self-respect. It
is to be hoped' that she will not be wheedled out of the advantage®;
of the lesson learned at so great a cost.

GOOD MEDICINE
Where instinct, blended with superstition, guided the fistier-
- men of old, science has now stepped in and fishermen are every"
day invoking its aid. 'Some thirty or forty of the newest trawler®
working out of Fleetwood use wireless almost like men-o’-^var-
They fix their position off the Hebrides oi’ on the East Atlantic
banks by direction-findiiig equipment gimiliar to that used by the
newest liners or the most costly battleships. They take their'
soundings by Marconi’s Echo Meter, which instantaneously and
• Silently ineasures'the depth of water by a flickering spot of light
without stopping the ship in the old-fashioned way. Each boat
has a secret code wherewith to communicate to her owners reports
of the fishing and receive the latest intelligence regarding mar
kets and her competitors’ fortune. These boats, with their wire
less and electrical equipment, are chiefly engaged in chasing, hake,
cod and haddack—especially cod. Flogging their way across the v
North Sea into the wintry darkness of the Arctic Circle the hardy
fishermen are gathering the harvest of the sea. Much more fish
is eaten today .than previously, as a result of improved method's
of storing and distribution. ITlie commonest of all British-caught
fish is -cod, of which five hundred millioxi pounds made up the-
supply for last year. And yet, in spite of the health advantage®
