American Express Travelers Cheques:
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHÈQUES—
"The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1801 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of 'AMERICÂNĂ EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the world "Travellers' being spelled with one “L” The advantage of the Choques was so apparent that, other banking Institutions adopted the system."

· DISARMAMENT.
FOREIGN OFFICE STATEMENT,
London, Feb. 16.
The Foreign OMee in a state- mant says that there is no change in the altuation regarding naval limitation since Sir Austen Cham- berlain informed the House of Commons on February 6 that He Majesty's Government was CATC- fully examining all questions concerning our relations with America and the naval conditions of the two countries. This examination was being diligently prosecuted and na aoon as it was concluded the first step would be to communicate the results to the Governments of the Dominions and receive and consider their views. It was therefore unlikely that Hts Majesty' Govern- ment would be in a position to make any further, communica tion for some time-Router.,

Reiterating the Navy Minister's statements in the Diet on Febru- ary 14, the Naval spokesman em- phasised the desirability of calling the Disarmament Conference be- fore 1931 owing to the necessity of preparing raplacement pro- granimes beforehand.
Though the official report has not yet been recalved the spokes- man asserted that Japan is willing to agree to a further reduction of tonnage and guns if the agreement is reciprocal, but he recalled Japan's desire to change the pre- sent 6-5-3 ratio of capital ships into 10-10-7 for all classes of war craft-Reuter..
