"Would you support war under any circumsUuves?" "When i8 war justified?" "Would you sup- port t'.c I.ca;;ue of Nation ?" A stand of ah-ohite pacifism was t<?kpn by 1*9 of the 200 stiidcnts who responded to the qucstionairc snnt out by Varsity, the undergraduate ne'vspnper, in collabora'ion witli the Jntcr.i.ntional Students' ScniV'c at Gennva. There were 13 militant undorijraduatLS who declarod they would CO to any war that the (Jov- crnnient declared. Seven of these were in the faculty of apiilied ocicnce. There were 88 supnorters of a riajo ity defined the hitter as one in â- which Canada was invaded. As a me-.ns to avert war the students sup- ported the Lea','ue of Nations and the World Court of Justice. Of coujse the number who re- sponded to the «|Ues;ionaire is only a very small percentapo of the total students registered at Toronto Uni- versity.

THE ROYAL VISIT The Duke of Gloucester desires to see as much as he can of Australia and of Australian conditions, and he should be given every opportunity to gratify that wish; for in the role of Imperial ambassador, which is im- plicit in his mission as the Kings envoy, it is important that the Duke of Gloucester should gain first- hand knowledge of problems pecu- lian to Australia. The King's sons all have shown a marked capacity for important overseas missions â€" a capacity which increases in propoi- tion as their knowledge of the prob- lems of the different parts of the Kmpire Increases, .^iid because or the new relationship between the Throne and the Dominions it is highly important that the King's sons should gain first-hand Know- ledge of affairs in even the most remote corners of the British Empire.

It is true that motor transport has provided the gravest anxieties, but the growing accident statistics will be reduced in the most satisfactory manner only if equal care is exer- ci.sed by every class of road user. The need of better traffic condi- tions on the roads of the Colony is urgent. Even at the risk of reducing the already small leisure time of the Constabulary "The Trinidad Guard- ian" recommends that a series of lectures by senior officers should be given in dif fernet parts of the coun- try to which not only chauffeurs but the general public would be invited. â€" Trinidad Guardian, Port of Spain.

And to make up for the delay the laboratory is going to jump at one hound into the front r.ank of In- stitutions of that sort in 'he world. Fighting crime is a job which tiie public wants done as well ii,-, it pos- sibly can be done. The resources of science in this field are immense, and will grow.

YOUNG EGYPT An intere'ting complaint being made these days by Kjryptian fath- ers is that modern enlightenment Is haviajr a bad effect on the rising generation. Fathers pray for a re- turn of the good old days when fathers used first to demonstrate to <i-ring off.-pring by demolishing a mud wall with the blow of a fist. Today, the better ediicn'ed women- folk in the hou.-chold cnmbitie forces with the young men wlio miib'have. In tlio old days, the father was king of his castle. It is argued that his lost grip of the youth of the coun- try (Iocs not augur well for the fut- ure of the land.

He toW 200 detectives at the po- lice lineup to spread the word among tihe force that he wanted crlralnale 60 beaten they would leave the city rather than face arreijt. "I don't want these men coming in here looking as If they had just left a barber chair," the Commissioner declared. His remarks were prompted by the appearance In the lineup of a man arrested on a charge of murder. The b'uspect was. neatly groomed. The Commissioner pointed to t<ho man and indicated what changes should have been made. "The district attorneys will protect you", ho iWlvised the detectives. "Bring thei^o known criminals In mus- sed 'ip." Ho counseled the olllcers to "draw quick and shoot accurately." "The racketeers, the thugs and the gun- men who prey on hone.U people lu this cdty mui.,t get out," he contin- ued. "I want you to drive them out. "I want you to understand you'll be supported, no matter what you do, provided you are justilled. Make It so disagreeable for men like this that they'll leave the city beoouse they fear arre.st. Don't treat them llgiht- ly." Comaicutiug upon his orders later, the commhssioner said: "It Is about time that our men re- ceived sciine assurance that thoy will be L-upported. Tho b'ooner we are rid of the thug, tho racketeer and the killer the bettor. "Wo want to be careful however, not to harm innocent people, and wo don't want to use police brutality on anyone because <it different political ifalths. but on thugs and gorillas and assuflslns the sky is the limitâ€" ana I wanted the men to know where we stand.

Volcanoes Spout and throw out hot stones and dust and give us an idea that the inside of the earth must be a very hot place. The old volcano of Stromboli stands out in the MeJilerranean Sea just above Sicily and throws out a flame which lights the .sea for hund- reds of miles. Vesuvius and Etna do the .â- same thing, but Hot so frequently as the Stromboluzzo as there Italians call it. This would ind cate that the flame comes from the earth and that the earth must be a huge hall of fire wp^ « lUin, cool crust. Five- Year Trek of Reindeer Herd Across Arctic Now Nearing End 3,000 Animals Will be Released Near Aklavik After 3,000- Mile March from Alaska â€" Victory for. Laplander Moose River, N.W.T. â€" The drum of hoofs acrosto tho rim of Canada's Arctic circle wrote a march of vic- tory for Andrew Bahr. It sounded the end of a five year struggle across a 3,000 mile stretch of Ice to re-estab- ll.di a lost reindeer herd for 25,000 Hskimos in scattered settlements from Kittigazuit to Coronation Gulf. Led by Bahr diminutive Lapland herder and his nine wind-tanned as- sistants^ 3,000 sturdy reindeer set out from Kutebue Alaska, Christmas Day 1929. Now It Is mBVlng slowly across l.he Mackenzie delta to Kittigazuit, east of Aklavik, where it will be re- leased. The animals spent the Sum- mer at this Arctic coast point, 150 mileb northwest ot Aklavik.

MUs Pickford, Toronto's peculiarly brilliant star in the film Armament, Is an author ak'O and has written a book called, "Why Not Try God?" "It's very short," .she said, "you can read It very Quickly." "You are a Christian Scientist, are you not, Miss Pickford?" "A large order I am a stu- dent." Sho likes being an author. She dictates her stuff and writes in long- hand and is not quite i.«ire whether sho would like to use a typewriter. She doesn't think people possess their possessions.

Bahr and his assistants will remain with the herd long enough to InUruct the natives in the fundamentals of rein-, deer breeding. i Despite the long struggle, Bahr be- 1 lieves the real battle is now jubt be-' ginning. The establishing of the herd will give tie Eskimo something ap- proaching their primitive foods. But ' the animals must be protected from ' tthe ravages of extermination by the wolves until the herd is built up. I The hand-picked cavalcade left E1-, ephant Point, Ala.ika in late Decem-^ her 1929. In preparation for the long' march, Bahr sercured 53 specially made sleds drawn by trained teanib' of domesticated reindeer to trans- port equipment and supplies. The ' great herd was able to move only In' ii!i6 Winter months. This allowed tor the fawning season and eliminated the dangers ot Arctic travel in thej Summer month.5. The route lay through the Noazaki rlvea- valley in a north-easterly dir-j ection to the Arctic watershed, audi thence across the Continental Divide through the little used pasb to the head of Colville B.isin. southeast of' I'oint Barrow.

Der Tag was formerly the organ of the German Nationalist People's Party. It has now been incorporated in the Ber- liner Lokalanzeiger, another news- paper of the same company, the Scherl Verlag. Der Tag occupied a place of its own in German journalism. Before the World War, it was looked upon as a more or less neutral forum, in which current questions could be discussed, particularly by its readers- Today, it cannot perform this function, since few Germans now venture to express their opinions on some of the most outstanding ques- tions in their own press. The Deutsche Zeitung, formerly the organ of the Pan-.^merican movement and since Jan. 30, 1933, the journal of the Reich Food De- partment, also announcss that it will discontinue its afternoon edition. In addition to the scorer; of So- cialist, Communist and other "lib- eral" newsapapers and periodicals which have ceased, or been compell- ed to cease publication in the last 22 months, there have also disappeared such once-proniinent Berlin dailies as the Vossische Zeitung, Berliner Bor- sen-Courier. Tagliche Rundschau and Deutsche Tageszeitung. From the view point of the Ger- man public, it shows increased apathy toward newspaper reading (since these losses are not made up in more subscribers to the National Socialist papers)). The German journalistic profession, finds it to mean greater hardship and unemployment.
