PORT OF LONDON.

The people who take a grim pleasure in bemoaning the state of trade and in i dustry in Britain have had a nasty knock by the announcement of a great scheme for the development of the Port of London. The Port Authority have de cided to provide facilities at Tilbury, which is only about twenty miles from the heart of the City, to enable the The scheme, which is to cost £4,000,000, largest liners afloat to Iand passengers will occupy thousands of men from four to five years, which will help to reduce unemployment, but the most important result will be that London will at last take her rightful place among our ports.

It has long been a reproach to the Capital City of the Empire that much of the honour due to her should have gone to Southampton-that she should have been unable to welcome the largest of her ocean visitors.

I think it is true that the Government Just at the present moment is in a somewhat chastened and peniten tial mood, but you remember the old say ing that when the devil was sick the devil a saint would be, when the devil was well the devil a saint was be.' I think it is questionable if this peniten- tial mood will last long when a period of prosperity returns."

Singapore has supplied the site of the Naval Base; Hongkong has subscribed to it; the Federated Malay States has subscribed to it; but as far as I can understand the self-governing Dominions have not

Because of the special conditions con fronting the country after the world war, largely economic, but Mr. Coolidge feels the problems awaiting solution have been that progress has also been made along other lines, such as in educational work and in improving the general moral standards of the country.
