(Special. Air-Mail Service)

London, Dec. 27. 1 The statement of M. Regnier, Rapporteur of the French Budget, that French citizens are now saving at the race of £240,000,000 a year was at first glance, surprising. M. Regnier did not, however, venture any estimate of their total acru- mulated savings..

He contented himself with the statement that some £360,000,000 of batik notes and coins were probably hidden away in cupboards and" un- der beds.

MEDALS OF PRIME MINISTERS

Sir Robert Johnson, the Comp- troller of the Mint, has suggested the striking of a series of medals, portraying the heads of present and past Prime Ministers.

He bases his proposal on the pre cedent established by Louis XIV, in the eighteenth century.

End of Gift Coupon Schemes

Lordon, December 27. Sir Louts B. Baron, chairman and managing director of Carreras, Ltd..

presiding at the annual general meeting held at the com- pany's offices in Mornington-cres- "cent, N.W., to-day, said the amount i to the credit of profit and loss} account on December 31 was £2-' 009,073, and the balance available for distribution was £1,960,828.

The past year, said Sir Louis like all recent years, had been one of acute and increasing com- petition. By general agreement .among members" of the Tobacco Trade Association, it had been decided to abolish, as from De- cember 31, the gift coupon system.

BRITAIN'S THRIFT RECORD

It is gratifying to realise that, though we are the "most heavily tared nation in the world, some 13,000,000 small investors in Britain

It should be noted that LouisXIV. have succeeded in saving £3,000,000,- 000-approximately 2900 per head carefully refrained from celebrat- While figures for the United Statesing the virtues of his contemporary are not exactly comparable, it is Ministers in bronze. He left. that clear that the Americana can boast duty to posterity. no such rekord. The savings of the people are estimated to-day at no more than £4,350,000,000, though the population is three times that of Britain. That total represents a decrease of 11.8 per cent, on the past year and of over £1,400,000,000 since 1930,

THE CONQUEST OF SPACE. When Sir Basil, Blackett return ed from Malaya to London" yester- day, he had provided one of the best. examples of the advantages of air travel for purely business purposes. Sir Basil, who is a director of the Bank of England and a former Fi nance Member of the Viceroy's Council in India, left London on November, 8 for the Malay States on a financial mission on behalf of the Colonial Office. In the course of his investigation he journeyed all over Malaya for three weeks. He is now back in London after an absence of only 42 dnya.

FOND OF TRAVEL No one in Japan will be more de- lighted by the birth of a son to the Emperor of Japan than the baby's uncle, Prince Chichibu. He has hitherto been the heir presumptive. Prince Chichibu, likes travel and dislikes pomp.

Singe his brothers accession he has been able to leave the country and has bad to endure a grest amount of ceremeniäl.

Now that he is no longer next in the succession I expect we shall soon see him again in London.

He lived on Kingston Hill for more than a year in 1985 and 1926.

CHOOSING HIS NAME

The choice of a name for the new Japanese Prince will probably be announced within fourteen days It may already have been chosen.

It will be a name signifying cer tain moral qualities.

THE BARBARQUS "RIFIE 3fy comments on the velue of the rife as a weapon of offence have brought me a letter reminding me that there was a time when its use in warfare was regarded as defin- itely unsporting.

THE DALAI LAMA The Dalai Lama, as spiritual head of the Tibetan Government, was indeed the Pope of Buddhism. Associated with him is the Tashi Lama, the political head of Tibet Between the clerical and secular parties during his reign as between the Holy Roman Empire and the medieval Popes-relations have often been atrained.

The late Dalai Lama, was a firm friend of Britain, and set his face against the infiltration of Bolshevik influence.
