THE WEALTHY MikN. PHILANTHROPIC DOCTRINE. (totted rasss ASBOCIATIOK— It IUWHUO TELEGRAPH— COPTBIOHTi) (Received October 21st, 5.5 ;pja.) ' SYDNEY, October 20. Mr George Bosch, a wealthy importer, who recently made gifts of £220,000; to the Sydney University, sailed yesterday on a holiday cruise to Java, Japan, and China. Interviewed before his departure, he said that his doctrine was that the man who amassed wealth from his bonnea was no more than a trustee of that money, and was under a moral obligation to use it for some worthy cause. "I sincerely trust that what I have done will prompt other men of wealtn to do likewise,'/ he remarked. / Hundreds of men in Sydney are doing nothing but holding on to property wnjle its value rises. There are some men who derive immense satisfaction merely frotn the sense of possession and the accumulation of money. I am not one of these. I have received literally hundreds of letters asking for money from all manner of persons. _ "My friends are saying: Ton must get away from it all.' and I am going. I shall attempt to deal with genuine cases during my voyage."—Australian .Press Association.
