Sir Walter Layton expresses the opinion that progress in the diree tion of lover tariffs is handicapped by certain features of the Govern- ment's policy,

The unemployment problem, he said, was one, not merely of sym- pathy, but of business and finance, and of devising ways of providing work. To do that they had to straighten out such problems as those left by the financial clauses of the Versailles Treaty, go on applying the Lausanne agreement. and to get an international spree- ment at the World Economie Con- ference to go, in effect. to the root of the unemployment problem."

London, Sept. 14-Two famous twin sisters, the Dowager Countess fo Lytton and the Dowager Lady Loch, velebrate their 1st birthdays to-morrow, and will have a busy day receiving a host of telegrams, letters, and presente.
Both are in excellent health and spirits. They enjoy motor our rides, take a keen interest in the strange world of 1532 na compared with life 70 years ago, and even write their own letters.
Although they are devoted to each other, they will spend their birth day apart, as each wants to be anong "her own people."
So the Dowager Lady Lytton will probably remain at her Knebworth home, and the Dowager Lady Loch at her house among the Chelsea

ABOUT INDIA.
London, Oct. 10-A considerable advance in the self-government of India in the near future was pro- dicted by the famous England cricketer, Sir Stanley Jackson, who until recently was the Governor of Bengal, when speaking at Leeds.
At the same time, Sir, Stanley expressed, doubts of the desirabi lity of the introduction at an ear ly date of the full democratic sys- tem. He referred in this connec tion to the report of the committee on franchise which recently toured India under the chairmanship of the Marquis of Lothian and said he gathered that the committee visualised the early adoption of a democratio system of considerable independence throughout India.
He was afraid the report went a good deal further than the Gor ornment of which he was the bend
