TAKE FOREIGN LOANS

To The Public

Blair Castle, the seat of the Atholl family in Perthshire, was opened to the public recently. The Castle and its wonderful collection of works of art, period furniture, and relies of the past will be open for inspection during the summer and autumn.

Last year the public was given a similar opportunity of inspecting the historic buliding and good deal of its contents, but this year the exhibition is on much larger and more interesting lines.

Blair Castle has probably more memortes associated with it than any building of its kind in Scot- land. For centuries It commanded the line of communications be tween the Lowlands and Highlands by the Pass of Killecrankie, and ed for the Cubs, Arnovich and Kleint Agured largely in the civil wars

But Not For Industrial

Work

Berlin, June 13. Dr. H. A. Kung, interviewed by the "Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" said that China would not ask for foreign leans for the construction of railways, erecting industrial plants or stabilising currency... out China was prepared to take up foreign loans in order to convert interior loans with high interest into foreign loans of lower interest. Dr. Kung said that China's in- terior loans amounted to two milliards Chinese dollars for which Interest of six per cent. was paid, which in view of the low rate of iue corresponds to eight per cent.

If China could obtain foreign loan at four per cent. he would save eighty million dollars in inter- est which could be used for indus- trial reconstruction. He added that these ideas form the basis of a Chinese loan policy and in view of the conadence which China enjoys abroad, they should form a suitable baals for China's co-operation with other friendly powers-Reuter.

In March of that year the first Duke's son, Lord George Murray, who was a general in the army of Prince Charles Edward, came from Inver- ness to Blair Castle to avenge the cruel treatment of Atholl people by the Government soldiers. After taking the garrison outposts · he surrounded the castle and almost succeeded in, forcing the garrison to surrender, but he was obliged to hurry back to Inverness on the approach of Cumberland to
