The 2,350 miles from Sulyuan to Kashgar took 38 days, but Sir Eric belleves that, with proper · or- ganisation, the journey can be accomplished within a month by motor lorries as compared with four to six months by camels or

Great Britain Must Lead

Great Britain, in the opinion of Sir George Paish, the economist,

holds the key which will open the door to world prosperity. If only she will lead the nations back to free trade, states the "Bulletin.”

"Everything is ready on the material side for the greatest ex- pansion of trade the world has ever known" declared Sir George in a fighting speech for free trade in Glasgow recently at the autumn conference of the Scottish League of Young Liberals.

Mr. Dull Cooper said he hoped the country was gradually wak- ing up to a sense of the debt of gratitude they owed to the officers and men of the Territorial Army, and he would do everything he could to assist the country to reach that sense of gratitude.

"In so far as the defence of this country is concerned," said the War Becretary, "it is the Ter- ritorial Army that holds the front line and that is to-day responsible for the defence of our coast. It is also the Territorial Army, that is responsible for the defence of our inland towns from the new menace of attack by air.
