There is not the slightest sign of
anything to replace theBritish
istration, With peace reigning this
would make the country's situation
perilous enough, but there are no signs
whatsoever that either Arabs or Jews
are ready to reepeet the cease-fire ap-
peal made by the British High Com-
missioner, Sir Alan Cunningham, The
tragic outlook that nothing but the
continuation of violence can settle the
Palestinian dispute is grim indeed.
Arab armies are said to be poised on
the borders of Palestine ready for fast
invasion thrusts. The regular armies of
Trans-Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and
Egypt are reported in position for an
early attack. A despatch from Amman,
capital of Trans-Jordan, said King
Abdullah personally will take the field
against the Jews at the head of the
armies of Trans-Jordan, Syria, and Le-
banon and moving with him will be
Egyptian Army units which will
cross the Holy Land's southern front-

THOUSANDS OF DIFFERENT
'KINDS OF EGGS
In the hook, "A Multitude of Liv-
ing Things," we are told that hens
-\ have no monopoly on eggs; neither
have birds. Almost every creature,
large enough for its to see starts out
as gut egg. The single cell in a snail's
egg is not very, different in size or ap-
pearance from that which is destined
to become a man, a mouse or a meek-
.erel. The frog, the fowl and the fish-
worm start front a 'single cell that is
scarcely bigger or entailer than that
giving rise to a hummingbird or a
Whale.
Yet the eggs of these creatures are.
obviously unlike-in over-all dimen-
sions. amount of stored food and wat-
and in the protective covering or
shell, The shell is governed by the
'way in which the parent handles her
eggs, Its presence generally means
that the egg is designed to be deposit
eel on land, exposed to air, without
the buoyant support of water. The
parchment-like coveting of a turtle
egg and the linty shell of a bird's, are
mechanical structures that keep the
eentents from+ spreading out like
pan cake on a eriddle. They serve, toot
in deflecting chance blows, and in re-
ducing water loss by esaporation.
An egg shell in not all gain. Its
presence slowe down the important
exchange of carbon &oat& front the
growing embreo for exygen from the
• -surrounditag Mr. This process %nest go
4:41 will never hare's. The thin-
perone the shell is, the
'melange tau: take place, bet
!Att'a'r is the protection it at-
ords. Each Lind of creature seem: to
reduce a siael that is as light as cart
be. eeneiderine ttte si.'e tf the egg.

ler in a co-ordinated action,
Arab informants in Cairo said Iraq
and Saudi Arabia also have decided to
throw their regular militery forces into
the fight to prevent the Jews from els-
tablishing a state of their own in the
Holy Land, The United Nations Se- •
cavity Counted has ordered a truce in
Palestine, but time is relining out and
no international force is on hand to
enforce its commands, The Jews are
determined to establish an independent
state and the Arabs, alarmed and in-
flamed by recent Jewish military suc-
cesses, are reported ready to retaliate
with large-scale action, The future of
Palestine appears doomed to be unut-
terably frightful.

IMMIGRATION VERSUS
FREIGHT RATES
A recent judgement of the Trans-
port Board gave the railways permie-
sion to hoist their freight rate charges
by21 per cent, This order is already
in effect and it will unquestionably in-
crease operating costs and living ex-
penses for many Canadians, especially
in the West. Critics of the Board's
ruling had no difficulty proving that
the new schedule would impose hard-
ships, but none of them had any alter-
native proposal for keeping the railway
solvent.
The Canadian railways claim that
they must have this increase in freight
rates or they cannot continue to give
service without going bankrupt. Can-
ada has more railway mileage per head
than any other country and Canada
needs her railways. The building of
our transcontinental lines was a feat
of superlative boldness, that was the
making of the nation and displayed
the kind of practical , imagination
which seems to have died out in Can-
adian public men,
There could be no Canada without
these railways and the railways can-
not survive,giving efficient transport
at a reasonable price, unless there are
far more railway users than Canada's
twelve million people. I.arge-scale im-
migration seems the logical answer to
Canada's railway problems. Canada is
far too sparsely settled for our present
railroad setup. Canada needs a larger
population producing more traffic.
