THE MISSIONARY'S EAR. The romance of the missionary pioneer always has commanded respectful interest. The history of civilization is inseparable from the story of adventure, inspired by a simple devotion; an unselfish consecration of life and energy to the service of humanity. Even recent history is not free from stories of sacrifice and tragedy more commo3 to the days when Africa was "the dark continent," and the isles of the sea vague rocks of cannibalism and trader exploitation. The record of progress in the United States includes, necessarily many such heroes of the Cross who led the vanguard of adventure acoss the continent, endured and suffered, led and inspired and contributed mightly to the constructive up-building of the communities which in our day have become a great nation. Recently there sailed a clergyman and his wife from South Africa, it self to many an outpost of civilization, bound for the island of Tristan da Cunha, a lonely spot 1,500 miles away from the African coast in the South Atlantic ocean. " His varied congregation may number 120 souls. To this heroic task of self-isolation the devoted pair commit themselves, and in doing so take with them the admiration of their, fellow-men. But, as a token of a changing day, the missionaries take with them a wireless outfit, with a radius of 1, 500 miles, the gift of sympathetic Cape Town residents. The magic of scientific development changes the loneliness of the island rock to an antechamber of world affairs, and by means of the radio the distance of isolation is annihilated, the voice of the world speaking into the ears of the missionary, geographically set apart from every sign of that world.

Perhaps no more significant proof has been offered of the tremendous factor radio is destined to become in augmenting the happiness of mankind. ,

FALLING TAX RECEIPTS. While there was of course a large falling off in income tax receipts from individual ncomes, perhaps the greatest decline in federal revenues this year has been in taxes from corporations and other business and industrial concerns that were unable to earn any profits last year. This is a-temporary condition and was aggravated by failure to cut taxes soon enough to avert the serious slump in business that set in last year, and from which the nation is just now recovering. The lower tax schedule adopted by the Republican administration is aiding the country in its recovery from economic difficulties. A startling phenomenon of recent times has been the heavy borrowing of concerns that had been accustomed to financing most of their needs out of income. When the colossal exactions of the national tax collector were levied these companies had either to curtail operations or supply themselves with funds at the banks. Business depression cut much of taxable profits, inventory adjustments wiped out more and added interest charges oh borrowed money still further reduced the totals on which taxes were due. Thus the fat years ceased to sustain in the lean and the government witnesses a falling off of revenues more serious than had been anticipated. But the worst is over. Business that scored huge lossess in 1921 are now reporting a evival promising substantial profits this year. And they will look forward to the next tax return period with greater serenity than for three years. The cuts that are still to become operative will enable a larger measure of company financing out of earnings. This is as it should be. And in the long run it will yield proportionately more money to the government.

MOST OF the talking in Genoa is being done with the back to the conference.

THE WORLD is said to owe every man a living, but it is sometimes mighty, poor pay.

GENOA IS willing to let Uncle Sam in, but she won't say just what she wants to let him in for.

THE ONLY harmonious chord in Genoa is regret that Uncle Sam is not there with his check book.
