I see greater possibilities before us -that-have-ever-existed-in-the-post, bo cause I believe that we are still a virile people, and that we shall make good," said Sir Herbert Hambling, the pre- sident, addressing the Institute of Bankers last month on the unemployment problem.

The curo for unemployment,"

Sir

Herbert declared, lies in increasing our total trade, and this can only be possible if, by working together, we secure a 100 per cent. output at a cost which will en able us to export our goods, even in the face of foreign competition,

This I am confident can be done without reducing real wages of profts. but both wages and pro

profts must be genuine-not secured by forcing up prices 1 t limited controlled market, E doubt whether WG have

We can only continue to work shorter hours and receive higher wages than our com- petitors if we can turn out goods in those shortened hours of at least equal quantites and quality and a no higher cost per unit.

If industry were to be paralysed by Irequent strikes or lock-outs we could not succeed in international trade

CAMEROONS SALE.

COLONIAL OFFICE TO ALLOW

·EX-ENEMY BUYERS.

A Colonial Office communique issued last month said:--

Mr. Amery has examined the position with regard to the impending auction of the ex-tierman properties in the Camer cons and has decided that, in view of the fact that these properties have been ad- vertised as upen for sale to ex-enemy nationals since April last and that the auction itself is due to take place on No. vember 24th and 5th, it would not be possible to reimpose at the last

moment restrictions which were, after careful consideration, waived by the late Secret- ary of State as regards these particular 'estates,

and which. 73 a matter of principle, have for some time

The Colonial Ofoe is acting on behali of the Custodian of Enemy Property, and the proceeds cf the sale will go to Increase the total which will be received by British claimants against Germany. It is in the interest of there claimants that the sale should be free and that good prices should be fetched.

At the same time it is hoped that British firms and individuals wili realise the opportunity offered and will suceed

Why do you always tell everyone about Kensitas?" he says to me, sir.

"Because I consider it my duty, sir.

Duty is the sublimest word in the English Ianguage, Jenkyn," he says--and I believe. him, he knows what's what, he smokes Kensitas himself.

Like yourself, sir, a smoker of taste and discrimination.
