“Wtf must have ii sense of what L might call ‘international honour’ something that transcends all else, and makes us fight if fight we must, to preserve civilisation rather than to nresorvc ourselves,” says Mr ,Tolin Dugdale, writing in the “Daily Mail’’ Year Book, from the viewpoint of one who was a child in the Great War years. “The younger generation is far more internationally-minded than e'er its parents were. It is partly because We have seen in the results of a too narrow patriotism that does not think of the rest of the world, and partly, too, because we have been brought up in a world where the air is the (]ominant factor and countries have been' brought together physically in a way that our fathers never dreamt possible. The post-war generation is anxious above all for action very often almost any action, provided that something is done. This is a feeling of despair, and still more a lack of that the pre-war generation can really ‘deliver the goods’ in the form of getting people back fo work. Tile dancer of this feeling is that the younger generation might be only too ready to give up all their liberties to anyone who promises action. A spirit of healthy scepticism, an intense longing for peace and a demand for action would seem to be af least three of the leading charaeeristics of the post-war generation.”

The "Westland Mining Executive have been endeavouring for som e lime past, in conjunction wil.li the Boss Alining Committee, to secure through the Un-

employment Board, under the mining development scheme, the visit of a geologist to report on various quartz hearing areas i:n Westland County.

The Board now advises that the De-

partment of Scientific and Industrial Research lias replied stating that such a visit is not recommended. It is stated a good deal of information as to the location of the areas is contained

in geological bulletins which are Jieing secured by the Board. In the opinion of the Director of the Geological Survey Office what is required really is steady skilled prospecting of th e areas in which reefs are known to occur. This of course/should lie done under expert supervision, and efforts ar G being made to obtain the services of a qualified Mining engineer to take charge of the work. The Board is being urged to move in the matter as early as possible to take the fullest advantage of the season.
