During the whole period of my odice my labours have been largely devoted to carrying out this policy, and my energies have been to a great extent concentrated on this ques tion.

"You ask me to write a few lines aliout the Anglo-American Library which you are bringing into existence. We spoke about it two years ago in your garden at Surbiton; I remember how I sat on the swing and looked with won dering eyes at the things round about me. Amongst the strange things in the little gardens were a monkey-tree' and other peculiar trees, carefully mown lawns, children, Mr. Charles, an English breakfast, and an English book which I had just read. It was all moderate foreign, and at the same time extremely intimate. I said to myself then that the most remarkable thing about England was that it was all so like English litera ture; I am still uncertain as to whether it is the English climate which has such an influence on English literature, a whether, on the contrary, English litera ture is the cause of the English climate

Indeed, no other literature except the Russian is a tional as English literature. It is a school maxim that no nation can be great world-power and yet remain quite an intimate nation.

A ROLKEN OBLIGATION. To-day I shall refer only to aspects of the political problems, though much attention is constantly des voted in India to political and constitu tional change, I am often inclined to think that the great importance attributed to the reforms, in England at the time of their inauguration, and subsequently, is not sufficiently realised in India. The reformis initiated, in the first place, a new departure in the relations between Eng land and India; they put India. road to the realisation of a more complete unity and a higher national self-expres sion. In the language of the King E- peror, the new Constitution took its place among the great historic measures passed by Parliament for the better government of India and the greater contentment of

people. The Duke of Connaught ar her rived in India with a special message of sympathy and encouragement from his Majesty to inaugurate the new Legisla- tures, and in his Majesty's charge to me as Viceroy and Governor-General a month later the following special instructions regarding the working of the reformed Constitution were embodied: "For above all things it is our will and pleasure that the plans laid by our Parliament for the

Digestive disorders are due to the presence of harmful acid in the stomach, creating fermentation, gas and pain. These distressing conditions may be stopped instantly and further attacks prevented by taking 'Bisurated Magnesia, which neutralises the dangerous acid the moment it enters the stomach, and thus "induces easy, normal digestion. Bisurated Magnesia is the safest, surest and quickest remedy for indigestion, gastritis and dyspeptic troubles generally; it is used and recommended by doctors, hospitals and public alike. It is sold by all chemists and stores in both powder and tablets.
