And why did the Canadian Red Cross go on with it-\nwork after the war?\" These two\nquestions > were asked Dr. ST. VV\nRoutley, director of the Ontario division of the Canadian Red Cross when\nhe returned very recently irom a\nthree months' sojourn in France,-\nwhere he was in charge of the health\nsection of the League of Red Cross\nSocieties, which is conuposed of 56\nnations, all of whom are \"carrying\non\" in peacetime as energetically as\nthey did during the war.\n\"The reason for the peace time pro\ngrom of the Red Cross,\" said Dr.\nRoutley, \"is that the war revealed\nsome very startling facts with regard to the pbpsica-1 condition of the\nworld's manhood. Never before had\nsuch imjneuse numbers of men been\nsubjected to medical examination,\nand the results were astounding. A\nsummary of the medical reports on\nthe British draftees showed that of\nevery nine men three were fit, three\nwere inilrm,two were almost physical wrecks and qne a chronic invalid.\nIn Canada we found that almost ex-\nactlp one-half the draftees were\nphysically unfit for for full service\nin the Held. In all countries similar\nheld delusion that ln peace there\nneed be no struggle to attain aud\nmaintain health among the people\nwas forever dissipated. Jt was for\nthe first time realized that good\nhealth is a fundamental essential to\nall national greatness and that it\ncan not be found in war times unless\nit has existed in times of peace.\n1 \"Soon after the armistice the five\ngreat (powers (Great Britain, the\nUnited States, France, Italy and Japan) became active in the initiation\nof a committee 'to formulate and to\npropose to the Red Cross societies ol\nthe world an extended programol\nRed Cros s work in the interests ol\nhumanitp.' A conference of medical\nexperts\u2014one of the most remarkable\ngatherings of authorities on health\nquestions the world hadseen\u2014met at\nCannes n April, 1919, and decided,\nafter careful deliberation, 'that a non\npolitical organization such as the\nRed Cross would be able to educate\nthe public regarding the means of\n-prevention of disease, and would lie\nIn many other ways able to stimu-\nIate,sui-port. and aid all government''\nln their health work.'\n\"So in tbe covenant of the League\not Nations, at the request of al tho\nnations participating ln the pence\nconference, a special article was inserted defining a peace time program\nfor the Red Cross, and in 1919 the\nLeague of Red Cross Societies was\nformally brought into being. Headquarters of the league are in Paris,\nwhere a staff of nearly one hundred\nhealth experts, representing many\nnations, carry on the work of the\nsecretariat, which consists of nurs-\n* ing, disaster relief, Junior Red Cross\nand the health and publications sections, where my own work lay.\n\"The league, ln my opinion, is doing an invaluable work toward the\nrehabilitation ot many of the war\ntorn countries of Europe; it is mak-\n- ing equally invaluable contributions\nto the cause of preventive medicine\nthrough the collection and dissemination by its experts of the best health\nknowledge; -tnd it was most gratifying to find that Canada occupies a\nfront rank positionin public health\nwork and is shoulder to shoulder in\nmethods and vision with the four or\nlive great nations of the world.\n\"Our Canadian Nursing Outpost\nHospitals, the first of their kind in\nthe wofld, our Junior Red Cross,\nwhich began in 1914 with one small\ngroup In Montreal, our Visiting\nHousekeepers' plan for n-slstln*;\ntllstressed families and our general\nprocedure with regard to health\nwork ln Canada I found to be all\nmatters of the greatest interest to\nmy fellow workers In Europe. Soveral countries are already imitating\nour outpost hospitals idea. It haB\nspread to Australia, Norway, Sweden'\nPoland ahd Bulgaria; the Germans\nare trying out in some of their bigger\ncities the Visiting Housekeeper plan\nand there is universal enthusiasm\nregarding the possibilities of the\nJunior Red Cross, which began with\nus, but has now a membership of\nover ten millions througho t the\nworld. Of the great tasks being undertaken in E-irope by the Red Cross\nI found the re-establlshment of the\nBulgarian refugees of perhaps the\nmlost intense interest, but there is\nmAich else to arrest attention. An\ninternational course in public health\nnursing has been recently inaugurated at Bedford college, England, for\nnurses from i all countries, and already there are women from fourteen different countries in attendance. Just think what Florence\nNightingale wo Id have thought of\nthat as a stride in preventive medicine and the healing arts!

The wthite population of about a million and\na half is divided between people of British and Dutch\norigin, while the papulation of blacks is more than\nthreel times that of the whites. This racial situation\nhas affected the molding of the governmental machinery\nThe Union of South Africa, although half around the\nworld from Canada and little known to Canadians, has\nin its history chapters which we know by heart. It has\nvast areas taken over from aborigines; thousands of its\nwhite settlers were massacred by savag' -, but others,\nundaunted pressed on In their prairie schooners ever\nfarther into the interior of an unknown continent; a\ngold rush won a new em*pire; and the land is possessed today of a stubborn race problem^\n\u25a0 In one respect, however, the \"carving out of what is\nnow the Union of South Africa is without its parallel\nin the development ot any other country. There the\nstrife of two white peoples for control has been an all\nimportant factor. For about a century and a half the\nDutch had possession of Copetown and the small area\nsurrounding it which harbored all the whites in South\nAfrica. The Napoleonic wars transferred possession to\nEngland, and in 1806 the English assumed a flnal control, which many of the Dutch inhabitants resented.\nIn 1836 many of the Dutch farmers or \"Boers\" began\ntrekking into the interior with the intention of settling beyond EngliBh Influence. When Englishmen followed them they trekked farther. Finally, beyond the\nOrange river they founded the Orange Free State, and\nbeyond the Vaal river, the Transvaal republic.\nFirst diamonds and then gold were discovered ln the\nnew states. They brought great prosperity to the Boer\nrepublics, but they brought outsiders as well; and the\npresence of these Anally led to the Boer war as a result of which the republics came into the possession of\nGreat Britain.\nAside from the war-born republics and monarchies\nof the last eight years, the Union of South Africa is\none of the youngest of the important countries of the\nworld. It, too, was largely war-born. Shortly after the\nconclusion of the Boer war plans were set on foot to\nfusethe two old republics with Cape Colony, the oldest\nSouth African government, and Natal.next in point of\nage, to form the new union. It was finally created by\nan act signed in 1910,\nThe territory of tho Union occupies the whole southern antl southeastern tip of Africa in a wide strip extending about 250 miles inland from the Indian ocean.\nIts area lacks only 25,000 square miles of reaching the\nhalf million mark. Of its four provinces, Cape Colony\nis slightly larger than Texas, the Transvaal about the\nsize of Nevada, and Orange Free State slightlp smaller\nthan Alabama, wlhile Natal exceeds South Carolina by\na few thousand square miles.\nFrom the south and southeast South Africa is a series\nof mighty terraces, each with a rim of high mountains\nfrom below and low ones from above. Most of the\nsir-roes near the sea are fertile, well wooded and well\nwatered. The ascending steps vary in moisture and\nfertility. \u25a0\nToward the inner edge of the territory of the Union\nare the world's greatest diamond mines, where earth\nsullieient to fill thousands of cars is screened yearly for\nthe sake of a peckor two of diamonds. But the few\nhandfuls of diamonds exported in 1913, the last year before the world war, were worth more than fifty million\ndollars and exceeded n value the combined value of the\nmany shiploads of wool, ostrich feathers, hides and coal\nthat sailed away from' South Africa tbe same year.\nSome 200 miles to the northeast of the diamond country are the gold fields. In their midst is the gold-built,\nwonder city of Johannesburg, metropolis of South Africa. After (.ho discovery of gold ln the eighties the city\nsprang up almost overl the night, and the people flocked there by the thousands.\nCape of Good Hope province'or \"Cape Colony,\" as it\nls yet usually termed) is the premier unit ot the Union\nboth in area and size. With its area of approximately\n277,000 square miles lt is more than one-tenth as large\nus the entire United States, and it* is more extensive\nthan Its throe Bister provinces combined. From the sea\nmuch of Cape Colony seems barren, but the soil ls rich\nand after therainy season, productive.\nNatal lios just around Africa's corner.only a little\nway beyond tlie Cape of Good Hope. It fronts,\ntherefore, on the southern part of the Indian ocean. It\nextends roughly between south latitudes 27 and 32, and\nhas a position corresponding in the northern hemisphere to that of northern Florida and the southern and\ncentral portions of the other Gulf states. In the matter\nof location, then it can be seen that Natal should have\nan excellent chance to become South Africa's \"Dixie.\"\nThe coastal belt is relatively low and warm\/with a subtropical climate. In this zone it is believed thatNatal\ncan develop an Important cotton production. There,\ntoo, Is a considerable sugar industry and large tea plantations. Back about 30 miles from the coast the midland belt begins. This zone is higher and cooler as is\nthe back! country of the American Gulf states and constitutes a \"corn belt.\" Still farther from the coast are\nuplands of Natal, where higher altitude and lower temperature corn-bine to create conditions like those or the\nplains of Texas and Oklahoma. And, as in ttie uplands\nof those states.stock raising and cereal production are\nthe dominant industries. Natal has a population of\nabout 140,000 whites and approximately ten times as\nmany negroes and East Indians.\nOrange Free State province is entirely inland, separated from the Indian ocean bp the high Drakensberg\nrange, and from; the Atlantic by half the width of the\ncontinent. It He3 on the great South African tableland\nmade up for the most part or rolling plains with here\nand there \"rands\" or ridges. The population is largely\nof Dutch origin.\nStill farther tn lies the fourth province, Transvaal,\nwith an area twice that of Orange Free State and a population more than three times as great. The white population, us in all the other provinces, is greatly in the\nminority. Physically, Transvall is much like Orange\nFree State, a land of rather driy upland plains.\nThe Union of South Africa bas a system of divided\ncapitals. Fron* Pretoria, capital of the Transvaal republic, the administrative activities of the Union are\ncarried on. The parliament meets in Cape Town;\nwhile the supreme court of appeals sits in Bloemfonteln,\ncapital ot Orange Free State. _\nProvincial Parliament\n(Correspondence of the Grand Forks Sun.)\nVlctorit, January 20.\u2014\"Fishing expeditions\" on behalf\nof members of the Conservative opposition In the legislature mlarked tihe flrst week's proceedings of the 1927\nsession. They fished for news of what the government\nproposes to do with regard to the Pacific Great Eastern\nrailway; what settlement mlay be made of the Sumas\nreclamation claim's, and what is to be done ajout this\nand that. They badgered the Oliver administration\nabout \"alleged\" wrong-doing and practically decared\nthat the country was going to the bow-wows.\nPremier Oliver had a rea*dy answer for everything\nwhen he participated in the debate on the reply to the\nspeechfrom the throne on Friday. During the ten years\nwhich the Liberals had been in power in British Columbia, he said, industrial payrolls had increased from $40,-\n000,000 a year to $116,000,000. Every one of the four\nbasic industries, lumbering, mining, agriculture and\nfishing, had shown phenomenal development and the\ncredit of the province was the highest of any province\nin Canada. 1\nHe said that while ten years ago he had remarked to\nthe late Premier Brewster that the Pacific Great Eastern would ruin any government, the Liberal government\nwas not yet ruined, and prominent business men held\nthe \u25a0 view that remarkable success had been achieved\nln carrying the railway burden as well as had been done\nHe admitted the problem was a difficult oue to solve\nThe Dominion government; Sir Henry Thornton, president of the Canadian National; the Canadian Pacifis\nrailway, and the Alberta government were not interested; nor had it been possible to sell the line to private urchaspers, even conslderiug the fact that a land\ngrant of 16,000,000 acres had been provided for last session.\nHowever, added tbe government leader, everything\npossible was being done to get settlers ou the laml\nalong the railway, to construct roads, develop the mining areas contiguous to the line aud to mane a colonization road out of the railway. This seemed at present\nthe only course to follow. The frank explanations ol\nHon. Mr. Oliver lost the government no friends.\nVlctorit, January 20.\u2014An act to\nprovide for old age pensions for the\npeople of British Columbia was introduced Into the legislature by Premier Oliver.

W. Jones, Conservative, South Okanagan, wanted\nthe attorney general to explain the\nmeasure.\nPremier Oliver said he had received a wire from the growers asking to be allowed to air their views\non general topics before the agricultural committee. He said he had\ntelegraphed acceding to that request,\nand he assured the house that every\nopportunity would be given all interested to express themselves. Tho\nbill was stood over,\nAnother public issue which it is admitted is enough\nto wreck any administration, is the liquor question.\nThis was freely discussed last week, but every criticism\nwas met by the suggestion that if the opposition would\nfaithfully assist the government, there would be comparatively little difficulty. A demand by the opposition\nthat there be a thorough investigation of the liquor\nproblem Is effectively countered by the government''\nproposal that liquor be divorced from politics, so that\nthere may be suspicion of governmental influence.\n- Hon. W. H. Sutherland, minister of public works, wai.\nattacked for alleged favoritism in the lotting of contracts. It was claimed that work was costing too much,\nthat there should be no subcontracts permitted and\nthat all tenders should be opened in public. The min\nUter retorted by stating that the most efficient engl\nneers ln the country marvel generally at the low cost of\nconstruction.
