WHERE HEALTH IS WEALTH.

Under the sponsorship of the Red Cross a
commission of experts Is to prepare a compre-
hensive plan to be adopted by all nations for
the conservation and upbuilding of public
Health and physical strength The undertak-
ing and the agency are admirable; there IS
logic in such move by the Red Cross, for II
it succeed as it should this great benefactor
of world society will add another besslng to the
many it has already bestowed There is no
greater factor to general contentment than
general physical welfare. The records OF the
social and industrial statisticians show how
much a cause of our industrial and social trou-
bles are i'll health and i'll condition. There is
nothing harder to bear than foresight of 4
future wherein impaired strength makes earn
ing living difficult. All the insurance schemes
aim to distribute the burden by making the
strong carry the weak. In our modern society
this is just what is going on in one form or an
other now. But the Red Cross proposes to at
tack the problem as common sense dictates; 1t
proposes to undertake the great increase of the
strong and the reduction of the weak to a min
imum. Here is a solution that by its accom-
plishfnent would do more than all industrial
uplift schemes to give labor its rightful share
in production earnings. Eliminate the immense
loss due to Ill health, early impairment of work
ing efficiency and other causes that a general
betternent of physique would obviate, and the
gain to earning power would be immense; fur
thermore it would replace pure waste.
Australia is making plans to deport interned
Germans. No intimation has been received as
to what Mr.. Wilson will do with our informed
Germans, but considering the treatment which
has been melted out to the German spies during
the past two years it would not be surprising
If those interned were covered into the civil
service by executive order and retained on the
government payroll.
Had there not been so much rainbow chasing
at the peace conference an effective and readily
assented to document Of terms would have
been forcoming at the psychological moment
That time was in period comprehending the
fortnight after the signing of the armistice
The commissioners should have let Foch do it.
A writer in the Stars and Stripes SAYS that
the American soldiers are not taking any inter
est in the Willard-Dempsey fight This is not
surprising Willard and Dempsey had an OPP
portunity last year to show their metal as fight
ers when the lid was off ON fighting in Flanders
and Picardy.
It is probable that William Hohenzollern
would do good deal Of heavy thinking if he
knew the number of German names on the sub
lists of the Victory loan.
The league of nations is to have permanent
home in Switzerland Nothing for it now but
to turn the peace palace at The Hague into a
motion picture theater.
