THE G. 0. M. OF THE P. & 0.
Quite a singular comparison," writes a Lon don correspondentofthe Indian Import and Ex- port Trades Journal may be drawn between the careers of the Great Clive and of Sir Thomas Sutherland who has just been obliged to confess seven and sixty years of strenuous life. Each of them started on the lowest rung of the ladder of life: Clive was an invoicing clerk in a branch office of the John Co.;* Tom' Sutherland was no office boy in a branch of the mighty steamship company over which he is now supreme. Each made the East, and India especially, the field of his labours. And it may | fairly be said, without fear of exaggerating, that
nothing could have more fully consolidated. and perfected Clive's work than the efficiency. and success of the splendid fleet of 60 steam. ships over which Sir Tom rules. *
"And, indeed, that efficiency and success are due to him. When, from the humble position of an office boy, the Scotch tad raised himself to the comparatively responsible post of P. & O agent at Hongkong, the company was in a bad way. The boats were old and ill- managed. Profits were eaten up by the unbusiness-like working of the fleet, and mat
ters looked black indeed. It was at that time that some inspired director suggested recalling the young Hongkong agent and transforming him into a member of the board. Sa 'Tom' Sutherland, the quondam office boy, came to sit in the board's room in Leadonball street.
From that day, some thirty years or more ago, the name of Sutherland has been almost synonymous with the P. & O. Under his guardianship the company, beginning with antiquated paddle-wheel steamers, has had a quarter of a century of ever-increasing pro sperity and efficiency, till, to-day it holds per haps the highest position of all steamship companies in the world, as it certainly holds the keys to British India; while its annual receipts amount to more than three millions sterling..
"A fine record, in truth, Clive made his Company; Sutherland has made his. But Clive's work would have been useless without a P. & O. And Sutherland is an enthusiast. There lies his secret. He has always brought to his work a keon love for his fleet and the great purposes it serves. A born administrator, he has ever satisfied himself with nothing less than the most minute supervision of all the Countless and intricate details of the feel's working. Among the employees of the titanic Company it is jokingly said that Sir Tom' would miss a cargo sack if it was moved.'

And yet, week in, week out, for the last twelve months, the St. Petersburg Press has never desisted from its charges of gross inbumanity against the British officers and troops in South Africa. In this respect, the effrontery of many of the more oprominent of the Russian political journals has no parallel in European journalism, not even
