The hardening of the points of disagreement between Germany on the 'bre hand with Britain, and the other with France over the form of the new Western Pact is the result of the German Locarno Note over which it makes two con- crete proposals, firstly that Belgian heutrality should be guaranteed by The proposal to make Britain the four Western powers-Britain. and Italy co-arbiters in the event France.

Message To House Of Commons
London, Mar. 16.
A message from His Majesty the King, brought to the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamber- lain, and read by the Speaker, sta-
At the League in 1827 he strung- ly defended the British refusal to undertake the commitments of the proposed Geneva Protocol, point ing out that the British Empirered that demise of the Crown ren- consisted of a number of self- governing people which might not see eye to eye on the matter, and declaring that, if it came to the point, he would put the unity of the Empire before the League,
In June, 1933, he disclosed that he once declined to serve as Vice-

Generally, the Note, although and not specifically courteous mentioning the Franco-Soviet Pact, leaves difficulties where they stood before, namely that, Germany still wants to immobilise the west and all western action under the Lea- gue Covenant in order to have a free hand in the east..
This thesis is likely to be unac-
ceptable to France and Britain. The only line of advance now left open is to take the problem of Helgian neutrality in isolation and try to settle it without either a
western or general settlement.- Reuter.

"A WEALTH
of HEALTH"
"I mean to ex- press with all my heart that your Kalzana has given wonderful results in my little girl, who was ailing for some time," writes a grateful mother.
If your
Child is ailing then give it Kalzana
If any of your children are delicate and irrit able, suffer from delayed teething and weak" bones, it is more than probable that a lack of minerals is the cause of the trouble.
Give your children Kalzana tablets or powder for a few weeks and you will soon see the difference in their health. It strengthens the cells of blood, body and nerves, increases the power of resistance and makes bones strong, and teeth white and healthy,
Give Kalzana to the grown-up members of your family, and they, too, will enjoy continual good health.
