The rates of pay per calendar month are:-Boatswain, leading A.I1., lamp trimmer. and A.B., £15 15s; quartermaster, lamp trimmer and able seamen, £14 15s; ordinary seamen, of 18 years or over, £9 Ss 4d; ordinary seamen, under 18 years, £8 3s 4d; donkey man, £17 15s; greasers, £16 15s; firemen and greasers on vessels carrying one engineer only, £16 13a firemen on oil burners and 4d; storekeepers, £16 15s; trimmer and wipers, £14 15s.

The award comes into force on November 1. and remains operative until September 30, 1923. The Court. in a memorandum attached to the award, said that the 1920 agreement contained provision that any increases awarded in Australia should automatically apply to rates fixed by the New Zealand agreement. The Court decided to ignore the Australian variations because the method of computing and adjusting the cost of living in New Zealand did not vary in constant ratio with the cost of living in AustraAustralian rates were at present lia. £1 5s 8d per month higher than those awarded by the Court, but were subject to revision on November 1, February 1, and May 1, whereas the rates fixed by the new award woud not be subject to variation until May next.

"Massachusetts," wrote Lincoln in independent State." In theory, that statement is State. American true to -day of every In practise. it is still largely true of States such as Massachusetts and New York, which have set their faces like flint against further encroachment by the Federal Government upon the rights reserved under the Constitution. But how long will it remain truer Down to the Civil War, pride in local independence was as strong in the North as in the South. The first home of nullification and secession was not South Carolina but New England. Even at the time when Southern Independence threatened disruption of the Union, the political convention which nominated Lincoln did not hesitate to affirm the necessity of defending the reserved rights of the States. In the fourth paragraph of the platform adopted by that Convention, the delegates resolved: "That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political faith depend." No similar resolution has been adopt ed by any political party for morn than thirty years. yet none is more sorely needed. On the contrary, at the last two conventions of both the great parties. resolutions were adopted mending, either openly or by cowardly and dishonest evasion, the enactment of Socialistic legislation which nullifies "the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively," and, by necessary consequence, destroys the balance of power upon which the Federal Government depends. Cowards. shufflers, shirkers, fanatics, men greedy for the retea' tion of plunder and power, have shaped the policies of the parties.

Review "Christ and Capitalism," by Rev. H. 0. Laverty, B.A. In the chapter on "National Debts" in his celebrated boojc on "Nothing." Mr. Hilaire Belloc tells how the double tragedy of the death of Peter and Paul might have 'been averted, had those two ill-fated persons only read "Mrs. Fawcett's Political Economy for the Young. the Nicomachean Ethics.

Lilly's First Principles in Politics, and other works too numerous to mention." We are sorry for Peter and Paul, because of the final tragedy which caught them, and we would be sorry for them had they lived and held their lives at the high price of the knowledge gained by assimilating the wisdom of all those books named; this would have been the "high cost of living" with a vengeance. Having dropped a tear on the graves of Peter and Paul, we turn from the dead to the living, and greet with great satisfaction the little volO'Laverty, entitled ume of Father We are "Christ versus Capitalism." more happily situated than Peter and Paul. for Father O'Laverty's book "its leaves are for the healing of thu nations" -put us in possession of most that is worth knowing about the great questions of Labour and Capital. where religon "comes in" with both, and what should be done to bring mankind into the way of peace. Father O'Laverty's book may be read in two or three hours, but it is better to make it last for a much longer time by reading it at leisure, so that its wisdom may sink and settle in the depths of the mind. Most aspects of the social question are considered in this splendid volume, and examined in the Light of Christ. Step by step Father O'Laverty takes the reader through the ways of history, from the time that Christ worked as a carpenter in Joseph's humble workshop at Nazareth, to the days when the Church using the power given it-"all power in heaven and on earth" -formed public opinion to the abolition of slavery. Through later days when the Church alone opposed the tyranny of kings and right down to our own days. showing that the hope and wisdom of God is active and operative in the Church which is the only Church of the people, because it is the only Church of God.

He has no remedy to offer other than the one, real, sovereign remedy. of men's point of view reaching up to God's point of view, and the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man, being reduced to practice by the simple method of hearing and heeding the teaching of Pope Leo X II I.'s great Encyclical on the Condition of Labour. Father O'Laverty applies the Personality of Christ to each evil one by one, showing that the Catholic cure for what's wrong with the world is not an indefinite thing, but that it has a bearing on every right and every wrong, that there is nothing too little, and nothing too great for it to solve and to settle.

ONE NATIONAL CHURCH. According to a report in the "Morning Post," Bishop Welldon. Dean of Durham. writing in favour of the sevbetween erance of the connection "Church and State"-i.e., between the and establishment English military the Anglican Church -in India, says: "It is time there should be one Church that the National in India, and Church of 'India itself. Nothing less than this one National Church will satisfy the highest and holiest aspirations Indian Christians. They demand the liberty of the Church, and that is a liberty which cannot be consum-
a
mated except through disestablishment and disendowment. It may be that with a price the Church will obtain its freedom, but the freedom of a church is worth any price that can be paid for it."
The curious onlooker may suggest Is Dr. Welldon some useful queries. an advocate of disestablishment and disendowment in England as well as in Surely "freedom" should be India? precious, even "at a price." here as well as there. Again, even if Anglicanism in India were deprived of its connection with "the State." that is, with the military bureaucracy, how would that produce Apart from "one Church in India"? the fact that all Christians, of every type, in India are only a fraction of the total population, it is still true also that, of Indian Christians. Anglicans are but a comparatively small fraction. Moreover, if all non-Catholics in the sub -continent are added together, the adherents of "Rome" outnumber them. Dr. Welldon knows very well that Catholics can join no such heterogeneous "Church" as he seems to have in mind. Indeed, seeing that Anglicans are a minority in India, even amongst nonCatholics, does the Dean seriously suppose the other sects will accept the Would dominance of Anglicanism? Anglicanism, on the other hand, accept the dominance of those other sects? It does not look as though "one National Church" in India is likely to Even if it should come materialise. into being, it would still lack the adherence of the Catholics; the largest body of Christians in India! But perhaps Dr. Welldon does not Or. think Catliolics are Christians? perhaps, again, he would, on the speech at notorious recent model of a the Agricultural Hall, mobilise the pains and penalties of persecution against them? Dr. Welldon is by no means so clear in his ideas. or, at least, in his expression of them, as could be desired. "Catholic Herald."
