NEW YEAR MESSAGES. PRIMATE ON HOUSING EVIL.
PALPABLE AND BLATANT.” The New Year messages by leaders of the nation breathe a spirit of reasoned optimism for the tasks of 1628. A notable
feature of the Archbishop of Canterbury's message in the emphasis which he lays on the need to seek a solution of the hous. ing problem, whose continuance in a Christian country, be declares, is " trary to the will of God."....
The Archbishop's message is issued from the Old Palace, Canterbury, ander the beading of "Quieter Days, and their
Obligation," and he says:-

Some eight weeks ago our thoughts were concentrated upon the lessons, re- miniscent and purposeful, which stand out with the recurrence of Armistice Day. Did we, I wonder, dwell too exclusively upon the duty of securing peace For peace we had longed and prayed and striven. And the spirit of Armistice Day, spreading as it did infectiously, through our policy and action at home and abroad, has borne no inconsiderable fruit.

In a New Year message to the Primrose League Gazette, Mr. Baldwin says:-

It is therefore of the utmost importance that we should all strive to remove the causes of friction between employers and em- ployed, and I am sure the Primrose League, with its great traditions, add it comprehensivview of our Imperial needs, will do ali is can to promote peace and goodwill at home by making still more popular and better understood the sound constructive policy for which both the league and the Conservative party stand.

She is of 9,130 tons gross, and of 6,400 horse-power, which is provided by two engines of the Sulzer type, built by the Fairfield Company.

The Parkenton, built last year for the service between Esbjerg and Harwich of the United Steam Shin-Com- pany of Copenhagen, has the distinction of being the first cross-Channel, motor ship. In many directions motor ships are now making their first appearance. None can doubt that the pioneer vessels will be followed by many others.
