The Argentine crop is progresa- ing satisfactorily, although the critical period is yet to come. The possibility of loount damage has also to be considered, and, should there be any advance in wheat prices as we expect, we think the price of Corn will follow.

"Years ago," said Lord Lugard, I. expressed the view that the relations between the white and the coloured races was the great out standing problem of the twentieth century. Perhaps it takes second place at the moment to the effort to preserve our own civilisation from perishing in another war, but the steadily increasing internation- al recognition of its importance is most significant. During the past year I have taken part in the ses sions of the League Committee on Slavery at Geneva, in a meeting of the Standing Native Labour Com mittee, and in the session of the Permanent Mandates Commission- all concerned primarily with the native question and colonial ·ad- ministration."

Manchester reports during the holiday week were quite good and the new year has opened with a fairly encouraging tone. So far as the Far East is concerned, how ever, the persistent low price of Silver is a handicap, and the latest nowe of fighting between China and Japan is rather disturbing..

Egyptian premiums, both for. Sakel and Uppers, have continued the recent recovery, and this weeka Sakel has regained a little. of the ground it had lost relatively to Uppers.

"Co-operative Devolution." Lord Lugard suggested some fruitful lines of study. He would say that the keynotes of British native policy were adaptation and The first Government estimate devolution.
