London, June 2 "We are proud to acclaim you as the commercial traveller of the Empire," was the message sent to the Prince of Wales yesterday by 400 delegates at the annual con- | Matron" controversy over a pic- ference of the United Commercial ture 49 years ago: Travellers' Association of Great The Chantrey Trustees had Britain and Ireland, which opened bought the nude picture by Philip in Belfast,

A substantial increase of mem- bership of the Association during the past year, the Jubilee of the organisation, was mentioned «in the council's report". The member- ship, it was stated, was a record in the history of the Association. It was reasonable to look for still greater achievements with the present improvement in trade.
Captain Hope Morley, the retir- ing president, said that they were still improving.

SOCIAL DISTINCTIONS

YOUTH AND POLITIOS
The part played by sport and organised athletics in attracting the interest of youth to politics has not 'been overlooked by Conservar tives.
I understand that the Conserva- tive party chiefs have been con- fering recently as to the best method of establishing sporting organisations for the benefit" of" the younger members of the party.
The names of Lord Howe and of Lord Burghley have naturally been put forward as possible heads of the new organisation. Both have the necessary political standing and pre-eminent reputations as sportsmen in their respective spheres.
Lord Burghley, in particular, as chairman of the Junior Imperial League, will have had practical experience of work in which sport and politics go hand in hand.
