Legislation would be needed for this, and that is not an easy matter. Nor is it easy to get any regula. tion of the speed of heavy motor. vehicles. This is a serious ques tion for the people living in coun- try towns and villages. In many places on the main routes from London and the big provincial cities into the country life has be come well-nigh unendurable. But the Ministry of Transport is re solutely against Axing a maximum speed limit.
Colonel Ashley, the Minister of Transport, in a letter to local authorities states in effect
At one time Lord Rotherham was 'that a safe driving speed depends so minch on the conditions of the foremost figure in the cotton trade. a very wealthy man, and was a that n Exed maximum He was president of the Manchester would fail in its chief objective-Chamber of Commerce, and for P
several years: president of the As- the safety of the public.
sociated Chambers of Commerce, Other offices which he held included the chairmanship of the Fine Cotton Spinners and Doublers A's sociation, and a directorship of the London City and Midland Bank.
moment
In pursuance of this policy the Ministry have of late refused to impose 10-mile speed limits where they have been asked for in country towns. But it is known that in the new Road Traffic Bill provision will be made for a large increase in the penalties for driving to the danger of the public. The individual driver will be held responsible if he drives at a speed that endangers other users of the roads. But the obvious comment is that he is held responsible now, and driving to the public danger is done every day in spite of pains and penalties.

Although he had an ample fortune pim he proceeded to dead heavily in stocks and shares with the result that he lost all his money. It is no exaggeration that if he had re- inined his cotton interests and realised them after the war, na gome other Lancashire cotton magnates did, Lord Rotherhim would have been a millionaire; but like othera he caught the fever of speculation with disastrous results to himself.
