LUNATICS AND LEPERS
One of the Colony's most urgent needs, which was fully realised by Sir William Peel during his Governorship, and is also just as keenly recognised by Sir Andrew Caldecott, is the provision of a properly equipped and adequately staffed Mental Hospital. It is to be hoped that the impending change of Governors, consequent on Andrew's appointment. Ceylon, will not result in this matter be pigeon-holed.

The pet device of forcing workers to sign loyalty cards becomes futile. The union told the men to sign the loyalty cards.
"Of course our men signed 'em. shouldn't they? We don't want all the union men fired. They know they can't go back to work while we are out, so what? " said Bud, in charge of the toughest bables" among the strike plekets.
Political managers are as worried as Big Business, because, for the first time in n large-scale dispute. the workers have felt the value of organised political power.
