Now it is Nation- 'jilit 5hina which does what England did a few months hack. The Shaug i hai government has presented the Soviet Consul-General with his pass- ports, and given him a week's no tice to leave. Thus the inability of Russian dip lomats to forget that they belong to the Third International has led their country to another disaster of con siderable magnitude. It is perhaps, the greatest diplomatic disaster the Soviet 3 have suffered, because it nusns the loss of au ally. A recent "" -i.. v.- ruitt ior fair nay in China at tests to th's relationship between the two nations. It shows that Russia has made great contributions to the Nationalist causcj. She has given considerable ammunition and some money. She has supplied advisors to both the army and government. What did she apparntiy hope to paln from tn5g ai(1?

The bulletin from which we have quoted lends with a warning: If Russia continues her friend ly attitude towards China, and does not destroy the confidence of the Chinese people by trying to alter the normal course of the Chinese Nationalism, these two vast countries will undoubted ly co-operate for mutual pro tection and economic benefit.

There is an economic phase of the Christmas tree, too, and if carried out every family in the country will be able to afford one. Charles Lath rop Pack, president of the American Tree Association, explains it. "Trees at retail are comparative ly expensive," he says, "The season al demand is sure and good. When such conditions prevail in any busi ness line, there is incentive to pro duce. Christmas trees can be farmed as a crop and produced at a neat prcf:t. Such a proposition provides a profitable adjunct to the farm, a useful Wav of putting otherwise loaf- F ii -a r.' -ts to work."

They say that a man gets a much squarer deal in a British tribunal than in an American. But we have our doubts. In the last few years a number of rich and highly connected wom en have been brought before the British courts charged with "klep tomania." Oh, dear no, not theft is only committed by poor, vulgar people. Theft is a crime. "Kleptomania" is a disease. And the rich and highly connected women always bring into court an array of highly paid and famous physicians who gravely cer tify that the woman in the case is irresponsible and should be placed in the car of her anxious relatives. They get away with it. Contrast this, now, with the case of a porter who was tried the other day. This vicious criminal stole eighteen cents from his employe. He was sent to prison for three months.
