When last before the House, the Government expressed itself in favour of an attempt being made by the Industrialists themselves in the first place, and they had been justified by what had happened in India in the last four months. The fall of imports of English cloths in India was one of the greatest problems that had to be faced.

COW-HERD'S STRANGE VISION

Goddess of Death in Garb of Old Woman
Hyderabad, Deccan. Much atir has been aroused among the Telugu speaking com munity, (Hindus), at the strange apparition which, according to a youthful cow-herd, appeared to him one evening at aunsot, while he wan tanding cattle,
The youth, who was visibly stirred by his experience, stated that he was tending cattle on the bank of the Hussain Sagar Tank in the, city when, just at sunset, as he was preparing to drive his herd home, an old woman 'suddenly con- fronted him. In her left hand she held a human skull while in her right hand was a sheaf of ripe corn, emblems of death and prosperity respectively.

That did not mean that a new policy would guide thom, for the Government had made it plain in their successive pronouncements at Geneva that they recognised the need for a one-power standard in the air for this country. The earnestness of their desire achlove effective disarmament in air had been abundantly pro ved by their approach to this problem and they had offered to go to any length if other nations would do the same. They had, in- deed, stated their willingness to consent to the complete abolition of military and naval aviation, provided only there could be de vised an effective scheme for the international control of civil Aviation, which would prevent all possibility of the misuse of civil aircraft for military purposes.
OUTLOOK NOT GOOD.
It now appeared that there were nattions which were not propared to agree to auch abolition and it was impossible to deny that there were great practical difficulties in the way of such a far-reaching measure. But Britain could not accept the continuance of her pre- sent laferiority.
