interview with the Viceroy shows that a wide gulf BUSINESS
still exists between the British Government and Nationalist India.
What is offered, Mr. Gandhi says, is not real inde- pendence. Reality demands that India and not Britain should determine what she needs. There would be no justice or vir- tue in Britain yielding to a success-

It was necessary for Britain to just and to declare her determination to recognise immediately the freedom of India,
This meant that a Constitution should be framed by the Constituent Assembly or its equivalent as soon as practicable.
There was no analogy between the Dominions and India. India's case was by itself and had to be treated as such.
MORAL VICTORY
Mr. Gandhi declares: "Every pro- blem is of Britain's own making." and adds: "What has happened was doubt- less the necessity of Imperialism, but If Imperialism dies the problems of Britain's making will be automatically dissolved."
concludes: "Britain's Mr. Gandhi moral victory will be assured when to she decides by a mighty effort abandon her immoral hold on India, and then her other victory will follow as day follows night, for then the conscience of the whole world would be on her side. No makeshift such as is now offered can stir India's heart or the world's conscience.”—Reuter,

A company run by children has de- clared a dividend of 42 per cent. for the year-free of taz. Last year's dividend was 33 1-3 per cent. and the company has more than doubled its
assets since it was formed.
It is the Market Rasen (Lines) School Bee-Keeping Company.
"In spite of some setbacks your com- pany's bees have been very active," said the chairman. Frank aged thirteen, at the annual meeting of shareholders.
The Tenth annual "Attaboy" Shield Competition of Kowloon Bowling Green Club was played yesterday when 64 bowlers took part, among whom were His Excellency the Gov- ernor, Sir Atholl MacGregor, Hon. Mr. S. H. Dodwell, and Licut. Col Collin.
It was recalled to members, prior to the toast "Attaboy," that the donor of this shield was Mr. D.. F. Warren who was, for many years, the Cana- dian Emigration Commissioner in Hong Kong, and who was President of the Club in 1929. Mr. Warren is now happily in retirement in Canada, but this annual all-day match for his "Attaboy" Shield will assure him that he is far from being forgotten in the Bowling Green Club.
The winners of the Shield for the current year were Messrs. G. Elphick, W. II. Or gan, E, A. Atkins and A. M. Holland (Skip) who were 37 shots "up".
Runners up re Messrs Spalding
E, Levitt, J. Watson, S. M. White and A. J. Hall (Skip) 28 shots up.
"Despite the fact that more than 70 per cent, has been paid in dividens in two years, the assets of this flourish ing concern have more than doubled."
The directors, he said, had been, complimented by the Market Rasen food control committee for producing more than 150lb. of honey, Active management had resulted in establish- ment of hives in Ave neighbouring villages.
Other rinks, in order of finishing were:-
Messrs W. Houston, If. Patrick, H. Nish and J. McKelvie (Skip), E, Pope, A. Jeffries, E. Searle and J. Meyer (Skip), H. Cooper, J. Hurst, T. Armstrong and R. Duncan (Skip), E. Turpin, D. Maughan, A. Bower and A. Hyde-Day (Skip). G. Deacon, L. Jordan, P. Hamilton and W. S. Drake (Skip), W. Tom-

But he spoke us if it was part of the service which he was prepared to ren- der the company.
The final sentence of the chairman's report was much the most interesting one to the shareholders. It read-

After Taking Kruschen In his youth, this man was a great runner and footballer, but in middle age the fettering pains of rheumatism bound him hand and foot. After such an active life as his had been, this loss of freedom of movement was particu- larly unbearable. Here he tells of his Buccèssful cure:-
"My knees were so stiff with a kind of rheumatoid trouble that I could only, rise from a chair with pain and difficulty. This had been growing worse and worse for about two years. It was all the more galling because in my young days I had played for two coun- ties at football, and held my college record for the 100 and 220 yards, Na- turally I tried all sorts of embrocation, but with absolutely no perceptible effect. Then I decided to try Kruschen Salts, and to cut a long story short, I am" now bs right as rain."--W.S.T.
