LEAGUE'S NEW CALENDAR.

PREPARATORY WORK NEARLY COMPLETED.

THIRTEEN MONTHS TO THỦ YEAR

„Genova, Juno 8-The League of Nations begins the final prepara- tary work to day for giving the world an entirely new and up-te-" date calendar.

A cominitten of experts convened who will co-ordinate the responses that have been received from vir- tually all of the nations cf the world on the subject and also draft an international convention for making the necessary change,

This convention will serve *L3 the basis of discussion at an in- tornational conference to be held on October 20, when it is oxpected that the now calendar will be definitely adopted. The latter however will only be brought into force ca January 1, 1034.

**

During the past six years that the League has worked on the pro, blem of calendar reform, it has consulted 'virtually every nation in the world, all of the leading re ligions as well as all of the indus- trial, commercial and financial interests.

A Permanent Easter,

The concensus of these consulta- tions is that, with the exception of certain religions, the world as a whole prefers a new calendar of 13 months of: 28 days each, with the extra day at the end of the year set aside as an international peace holiday.

«The "demand is also genera] : for fixing a permanent day for Easter which will probably be April 9.

As the various religions have not been able to agree on all of these changes the League has decided to as acceptable to the governments go ahead with the proposed reform generally as well as to the commer oial, financial and industrip in terests that are virtually unani- mous for the change.

The new calendar will replace the present Gregorian one, which, with certain modifications has been in ues since the time of the Ceasars and which it is declared no 'lengir responds to the world's present needs and conditions,
