GOLD AND INDUSTRY.

MR. CANNEY ON MONETARY REFORM.

Mr. E. E, Canney, addressing joint meeting at Burnley of the Burnley Textile Society and the Lancashire Section of the Textile Institute, said that the people of England should know of-the-press- ing need. for monetary reform, Money scarcity was at the root of our troubles and uncertainties, and still greater dangers awaited us unreformed monetary

policy.

Even when an acicdent to II. J. Sayers, one of their most dopond-from able scrummagers, had roduced them halfway through the first half to seven men" down," they fought on so valiantly that it was only to wards the end that they showed any signs of being worn down,

The forward play and the tack ling, always splendidly keen if not always sound, left the honoura easy, but Sandhurst were the more dan gerous attacking foroo.
