No Cansa for Anxiety.

The news- of the Prince of Wales's illness came as a complete surprise to members of the Prince's household in London. Sir Aldo Castellani, the authority" on tro pical diseases, interviewed

by Reuter to-night, explained that sub-tertian malaria should cause no anxiety provided it was taken in hand promptly, as had doubtless happened in the Prince's case. Ho expressed the opinion that the best course would be for His Highness to remain at Nairobi for a fort night after his temperature drops, and then ecme home."

It is feared that if a precedent of preferential tariff is established in India, sooner or later it will be extended to other goods besides cotton.

Cotton traders point out that if preferential treatment is necessary Japanese goods should be most favourably considered, because they contain more than 25 per cent, Empire material from raw cotton from India.
