Empire scholarships to the value of £10,000 will shortly be available, as a result of the success of the Fellowship of the British Empire Exhibition. Up to date receipts from subscriptions of mem- bers reach in round figures £50,000. This represents a total membership of nearly $3,000 Fellows When the scholarship scheme was first faunched it was hoped that at least 10 per cent. of the revenue could be devoted to educational purposes. As the audited neccunts show, this expect abien has been more than realised matead of 19 per cent there is about 20 per cent. available.

There are now being added to the scholarship fand donations from various” sources, including the Kensington College 8,550 the Thomas Wall Trust, Miss A. Fiocchi, Mrs. LG. Hannam, Miss F. M.

Towards the end of the year, however, the accumulation of imported Cement had the effect of forcing prices down to a lower level, and with continual shipments of Cement ar riving, the prospecta for 1924 are not so favourable sa they have been for the past three years.

A White Government Paper, entitled Steamship Subsidies," shows that in the financial year ended 1924 the net charge on the Exchequer in respect of payments for foreign and colonial services was £170.553.

The vessel of "approved speed' is the Mauretania. Amongst the sums for overseas services there is: P. and O. Steam Navigation Co.-Letter and parcel mails between the United Kingdom and India, China and Australia, under contract terminable at two years' notice, £232,500.
