HAS CONGRESS THE POWER? THE ESSENTIALS OF REST.

Senator Jose P. Laurel of Manila, writer on constitutional law, issued a verbal challenge last night to any one who doubts the power of Congress to give the Philippines independence. He made the statement in connexion with the resolution passed by the Ameri- can chamber of commerce

of

Tuesday declaring that only the states of the Union have that power and suggesting a constitu- tional amendment as the only solu- tion to the Philippine problem.

Marshali, has plenary power over the Philippines, subject to funda- mental limitations contained in the Constitution, and this power un- doubtedly includes the granting of") independence without the necessity of awaiting any mandate from the states of the American Union.

The contention that the United States cannot constitutionally grant independence to the Philippines is a.challenge to the authority of Congress which body has promised this boon to the Filipino people upon the establishment of a stable government here."

THE CONTROL OF DIAMONDS.

THE ACTION OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOVT.

In rejecting the South African Government's Bill for the control of the diamond industry the Senate has not shown disapproval of the Bill as a whole, but only of certain confiscatory clauses which smack of Socialism.

It is, indeed, universally re- cognised that if the price of dia- monds is to be maintained the supply must be regulated. The recent discovery of new diamond fields and alluvial deposits indi- cates clearly that the output of these precious stones could readily be increased to such an extent that. the price might be seriously af- fected. It is to the interest of everybody concerned, from the South African Government, which makes about £2,000,000 a year out of its diamond royalties, to the private owner who has paid high prices in the past, to see the in- dustry put upon sound footing.

It is generally well recognized that a walk in the open air or a drive with plenty of fresh air in- duces to sleepiness and that a warm bath or a warm drink has a sedative quality.

A person who is unable to sleep because of constant worry, should seek expert advice, since he is fall- ing into mental habits that may lead to serious final effects.
