Of the 17 accidents in 1927, were due to human error, of which six were due to failure of engine men to obey or observe danger. gnals, one to failure of an engine man to give effect to regulations, or misjudgment, while the four others were due to the failure of signalmen to observe or give effect to regulations. Two of the three 1928 fatal accidents which have been investigated have been proved, to

Lord Melchett, who sailed for England in the Aquitania directly after the dinner, made a great im pression on the industrial kings of America. He said:-
the
I would like to say a word or two on Great Britain's industrial position. Our unemployment situa- tion, serious as it is, is not one that causes me any undue concern. It is more remarkable to me that on that small island, densely populated as it is, we are eras ing to-day two million more people than we did before 1814. If you want to get a true picture, you must look to the facts that we are not only employing two million more. people, but our whole standards of living are undoubtedly to-day on a much higher level than before A striking instance of the atten- war. tion paid to the human element is "Our new industries are develop afforded by the Great Western Railing at a rapid speed.

or not.
The importance of this system may be gathered from the statement of Colonel Sir John Pringle in his report on accidents for last year, in which he says: “ In five of the less important cases of collision it may be assumed that automatic train control would have prevented the accident."

The Railway Companies' Associa tion yesterday pointed out that only dhe in 61 million passengers carried was killed last year. On the other hand, the number of fatal accidents on the roads of Great Britain for 1027 was 5,320, or an average of over 14 persons killed every day.

Vexed Question."
One outstanding feature yet of our economic difficulties is the vexed question of German repara tions. I am an advocate of a system of finality. I believe a debtor is entitled to know what his ultimate obligation is going to be, in order to enable him to liquidate his liabilities I hope future con- ferences may lay at rest this long controversial subject.
"America may or may not plaġ apart, but one thing, I beg you to do: If you do not wish to play a part do not get in the way. Our difficulties in Europe LTE great enough, but we feel we are com- petent to deal with European pro blems, although whenever an at- tempt is made in Europe to come together we always meet with sue picion and hostility on the part of people on this. aide of the ocean, who attribute all kinds of motives which never passed our minds,"
