THE OPIUM QĊESTIÓN.
Now, half a score of firms in addition to the Marconi Company are manufacturing wireless instruments which are being put on the market ut prices ranging from upwards. A 5 telephone set enables you to hear anything wirelessed within a radius Sir John Jordan, formerly British of 50 or 60 miles; and a set costing about Minister at Pulting, confesses that he is 5 puts you into communication with rery disappointed that the Opium Commis- practically every wireless station in Europe.sion of the League of Nations have The Post Office regulations referred to are reserved for consideration in private their designed to restrict messages sent out for report on the cultivation of the poppy. amateurs to specified hours and to limit them to certain wave lengths in order that there may be no undue interference with the business ases of wireless. The pou sibilities of developing the new departure are incalculable. Already over twenty. firms of manufacturers of wireless in- struments are hard at work turning ont telphone sets for the million. They are also arranging for elaborate programmes to amase or instruct the public who own wireless receiving sets, and it is said that epwards of £160,000 a year will be speut in the aggregate in this way. In addition to musical entertainments there will be
lectures by well-known people on their particular subjects, bedtime stories for children, announcements of news of national interest, weather reports, and so forth. In a very brief space of time listening in by means of the wireless telephone will be the most popular form of intellectual recreation and amusement."
In discussing the Genoa Conférence in a recent article I ventured the statement in passing that a feeling existed that Mr. Lloyd George was being rather bidly treated by a section of the London Press -notably the Northcliffe papers which are always striving to "down" him no matter what he does. The justness of this view is amply supported by the wonderful wel come home accorded the Premier. It was very hurriedly organised, almost at the last moment before he was due to reach London; but despite this the platform at Victoria Station was crowded with nota bilities. The Duke of Atholl, on behalf of the King, handed Mr. Lloyd"George a letter written by His Majesty extending a welcome home to bim in cordial terms, and expressing the wish that he had not suffered as a result of the arduous and pro- longed efforts he had made "in the cause of peace and the economic restoration of Europe."
Altogether it was a remarkable scene as the Prime Minister left the train amid the cheering of a vast crowd, and the police found it difficult to make a clear path way among the admiring Peers and Parli mentarians from the train to the Prime Minister's carriage. His enemies had been pretending that he would come to find the country angry with him; but the King's gracious letter knocked that idea on the bead, and incidentally served the usefal purpose of showing that Lord. Northcliffe through his various papers does not yet quite occupy the position of Dictator of Pallic Opinion in England.

The object is to stimulate interest in missionary enter. prise abroad by showing the scenes and he diremastances in which missionaries live and work.

Then there were a Chinese inn, a Confucian Temple, a chemist's, shop, and other features so that it is not surprising that the Chineso street proved to be one of the most favoured resorts of visitors to the exhibition.. BULLIDY OF THE "EGYPT:"
