The tradition of Colonial Secre- Sale. taries obtaining first-hand know- ledge of the Empire was much developed by Major Ormsby-Gore, when, as Under-Secretary to the then old Colonial Office, which also handled Dominion affairs, he was virtually responsible for the Crown Colonies and Protectorates. At the same time Mr. L. S. Amery, then Colonial Secretary. in four years visited all the Do-
minions.
It was not until the formation of the present Government that an independent Secretary of State was appointed to take charge of
Dominion affairs, thus leaving the Secretary for the Colonies in charge
of
the Crown Colonies, Protec- torates, and Mandated Territories.

The large majority of companies, especially those in the heavy industries, are still facing dithenities, particularly in the ex- port trade, which must for a long time to come handicap their ear ning power.
However, optimistic one may be regarding the future: it is foolish to ignore outstanding facts. Pre sent circumstances, in our view, afford no ground for the "boom" in some industrial shares, however. enticing may be the opinion's ex- pressed regarding their prospects.
