There is no standing Parliamen- tary, party holding regular meet- Ings like the Liberal and Socialist Parliamentary parties.
Mr. Hacking was appointed by Mr. Baldwin. His post is chair- man of the party organisation.
Col. George Herbert is another head of the party. He is President of the National Union of Conser- vative and Unionist Associations, to give the party its official title. Election to that post is made at the annual conference of the party in October.
AUTONOMY IN SCOTLAND There is also a Central Courel with a chairman. At present, that post is held by Sir William Cope.
Finally, the party has an execu.. tive committee, with a chairman in charge. Col. G. Herbert is this year's chairman, but the post does!

"WOMEN OF THE EAST"
On October 3 last I addressed
to Я by circular relative scheme of merger which after pro- been tracted negotiation had agreed upon by the Boards of the two companies, but required con- firmation by both groups of share- holders inasmuch as it affected rights. Separate meetings for this their respective relationship and purpose were called on November 20 last which became ineffective as the preference "shareholders as a class declined to agree to an al- teration in the status of their
holdings by an exchange for or-
dinary shares in the new company of interest
with fall arrears funded, "
Had the resolution succeeded the merger would haye taken place al- most immediately and the expect- ed economies would, in the mean- time, have become operative, with the result that the new company would probably now have been an
