Al Strike SGoe skds Poets

Victor Aubersia, in the "Berliner
Tageblstt," gives vivsciously philo-
sophie account OF Che epidemic Of
strikes prevailing in Germany. In Carlg-

Ell 60 strike, but this coincidence, lie
adds, is obviously only occidental. He
continues:
"Thc locomotive conductors s5an-
doned their engines, and 800 Frankfurt
Wholesale merchants on their way 20
Berlin were therefore stranded in
Fulda. These 500 merchants thus were
enabled to visit the tomb Of St. Boni-
face, whsch was obviously good fos
them.
"The head walters struck, furious at
being offered tips. They carried their
point, and if now sou pay only for
what you have consumed and nothing
besides they grow angry because they
don't got tip.
Others who have struck Gre The
gravediggcrs and the dancing teach

animal tanners and the fortune tellers
The poets alone have never strucl; and

some observations on e Forthcoming

These sentences, which sum up Aus.
tralia's outlook upon herself, ard in
cidentally upon the World, represent
the views Of two leading Australian
thinkers. One is Meredith Atkinson,
head Of the department o9 sociology
in the University Of Melbourne. The

Joseph Cook. "they want.d British
