predorninated in the throngs, as these
people have kept reverently In mind
for four centuries the miraculous ap-
partition Of Our Lady upon the spot
where the Church of Guadalupe now
stands. This miracle brought about
the conversion Of thousands Of the
aborigines TO Christianity.

Australla's Faith
In Her Wool Clip.
Sydney Bulletin.-We have such I'M
bounded faith in our wool clip that
We allow ourselves to be bIuffed and
bludgeoned out Of manufacturing it
ourselves. We let foreigners take it
away, let them use our material and
our favorite" Now, as a reward for
our folly, We are told that our favorite
hasn't been running well, and that the
second favorite, Artificial is winning,
or has won, the race. But we still
don't see many broken-down wool
manufacturers in Yorkshire, nor do we
see them in the French, German, Bel
gian, Swiss or Italian textile districts.
And there are allegedly millionaire
proprietors OF wooden mills In Japan.
Probably there will be the, same in
China, before We wake up to the fact
that 1t is not much use owning and
backing favorites unless we run them
as we'll
The buyers keep up the cry that they
don't know how all the wool in the
world is to be consumed. The pro-

weavers went over there in Elizabethan
times because the wool was handy, and
willy old Queen Bess gave them plenty
OF encouragement to do So We are
told, though, that we could not pos
sibly make success Of wool manu-
featuring; that our own community is
too small to consume our own produces,
manufactured goods! Yet, there are
more people in the world who have
never worn wool than there are who
have, and 1t is not too late to educate
them. But first we must learn that
We can't trust anybody but ourselves
to handle our favorite. So our crv
should be not only use more WOOL"
but Manufacture more WOOL"

Britons Warned
Regarding Soviet Travel.
Cologne Gazette, Cologne.-It Is as
tonishing In view Of England's resump-
ton OF diplomatic relations with the
Soviet In Russia that even the authorf-
ties OF the nation do not guarantee i'm
munity for British subjects who enter
into the territories of the Muscovite.
Mr.. Henderson, the secretary of the ex-
terror, has so ordained In q speech
before the House of Commons in Lon
don.
The reason for this utterance is said
to be not that foreigners In Russia are
In actual danger. but that in the absence
OF stable and definite diplomatic of1ices
and procedures travellers in Russia find
it difficult to comply with all the regu-
lations Of the Soviet or even to know
what they are, and the Russian gov
eminent Of the present day. is not Of q
sort that views leniently Sins of omis-
