The Position of the Crown Colonios.
The Times of Ceylon of the 8th inst. Says:-While Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr Chamberlain had before him the views of the governments of the great self-governing colonies, and, as these gov ernments are in office by popular election, they represent public opinion. Ever since the enunciation of his new policy we have felt the anomaly that has relegated India and the Crown Colonies to the back ground, to look on, like so many nonentitios, while the rest of the Empire actively participates in a momentous question which affects the
trade of the whole world. Mr Chamber- lain recently remarked that India has not expressed an opinion one way or the other. Neither have Coylon and the other de- pendencies; but the fault lies mainly with the home authorities for not having invited nu opinion. Public bodies need not, of course, wait to be asked, and, if members are divided on the main question, they c-n at least unite in support of a protest against the anomaly with which we are now dealing-an anomaly which might result in altering the fiscal policy of the Empire over the heads of, and without con-

if public opinion in Coylon, for ex ample, were struggling to express definitely- hold views special moetings of the P. A. and of the Chamber of Commerce would
have been convened ere this. Possibly the impression that a Crown Colony has little influence has a depressing effect on what public feeling it possesecs; but a formal discussion of auch important subjects as retaliation and protection would result in a better understanding of the matter, even if no definite decision could at once be reached.
Since we first urged public dis cussion, the matter has keen brought nearer to us, not only by Russia's action over 2622 her tea duty and the proposal that India should rotaliate, but also by opponents

Earl Percy, M.P., Un- der-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, speaking 628 at a joint dinner of Conservatives and Unionists of the University of Oxford on the 14th November, said that the Russian retaliatory duty against Indian tea was o course taken, not on account of any action of India, but because of the British policy, The speaker presumably referred to the action taken under the sugar convention; and it is pleasant to have this authoritative 48surance. because wo rather suspected that Russia's reply to the Foreign Office would be that she had raised the duty e- cause part of both Indian and Ceylon to received a bonus.

Sir,-So much has already been written about the overland route to China that the subject no longer remains a mystery, but have just made the trip, and as my ex perience differs entirely from the accounts I have read in newspapers and magazines, possibly you will consider it worthy of space in your esteemed paper. The In- ternational Sleeping Car Company's train de luze, by which I travelled from Moscow to Sina (owing to an accident on the line we had to change to a Russian train at Sima), consisted of one firstond two second

There was no such thing as a at Baikal. drawing-room or lounge, as I was led to ex- pect there was mly the above-mentioned ear containing the dining-room and sinoke- room the former to seat 24 and the latter 12. Thus there was only accommodation for 36 people, andas we carriedßö passengers half of them had either to loaf about the draughty corridors or to remain in their cabu.s.
The sleeping compartiments were comfur- table enough, the first class being two- berthed and the second class four-berthed, but the latter were very small, and there was scarcely room to tmn when the beds: were adjusted. Another very great draw- back was that there were only two lavatorios on each second-class carriage, which had to he shared between 26 people. The food on the train was indifferent, and, considering The attendance was the quality, dear. atrocious, there being only two none-too smart waiters for 5 people, and, to crown all, there was not a single servant on the train who could understand English. I took the Russian Government train fron Missonaie to Dani, and found the same a deckled improvement on the International Sleeping Car train in every respect.
My experience has no doubt been an ex- ceptionally bad one, but in any case would not recommend any one to under take the trip in the present state of things, 89, apart from the disadvantages I have pointed out, it seems to me that the line is dangerous in some parts, and three-fourths of the country traversed is uninteresting. If any one wants an experience and is pre- pared to rough it, well and good, but otherwise my advice is Stick to the sea.
For the benefit of any of your read is intending to take this trip I give the follow ing information:-

For Sprains
THE right time to treat a sprain is the
use
minute you get it, and the right remedy to is CHAMBERLAIN'S PAIN BALM. You can say what you will about this or that thing being good for a sprain, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm beits chentalt. The quicker you rub it on, and the more you use it, the oner the sprin will be gone. Even if Chamberlain's "Pain" Balm gets you back to work one day i quicker han other remedies, it will pay for itself several times, but it generally cures a sprain, strain. or a braise a week before anything else, and a week's wages amount to a good deal to most people.
