APPEAL FOR-UNITY.
LONDON-October: 8. Continuing his speech at the Llandudno meeting of the Welsh National Liberal Council, (the first part of which is reported in our earlier cables) Mr.
| Lloyd George said that peace on earth and goodwill amongst men was the demand of the hour and he didnot koow of any principle which was in issue between the parties when they came to deal with it.
Referring to the threatened miners' strike, the Premier emphasised that he was resolved never to surrender the rights of the community to a minority, though he was all for justice, and equity for the men who were contributing to the wealth of the nation. He was hopeful that commonsense and reason would prevail at the forthcoming
ballot.

Your committee repeat that the pro- fession of the agricultural expert is not at present generally regarded as a definite career. Many young men who show promise of scientific ability are induced to take up the study of chemistry, engineering, or medicine, although they may really be more fitted by natural inclisation for the study of botany or entomology, be cause the latter studies are not looked upon by parents and teachers as likely to lead to any practical career. Your committee consider that, if their recommendations are approved, the widest possible publicity should be given to this report, and in parti- cular that it should be brought to the notice of the public schools and uni- versities."
The following extract from the report of the Department of Agricul- tore in the East Africa Protectorate is given as an example of what results can be obtained from the appointment of experts to develop the agricultural resources of the
