They are the convictions of a man I who, until a few weeks ago, was one of His Majesty's Ministers, of State, with a sent in both the Cabinet and the Privy Council. He is also an energetic, forceful, and exceedingly able man of affairs, and one feels bound carefully to con sider his views, nud to try to detect The defects (if any) in his argu- ments before rejecting them.

a very small and unprofitable tramway. This was until about 1920-operated by a company, wher it was bought out by the Muni- cipality. After ten years opera tion, however, the Municipality rightly came to the conclusion that the place was too small for trams and they entered into negotiations with the Eastern National Omnibus) [Company, who made quite a good offer for the undertaking on con- dition that the Municipality entered into an agreement not to institute competitive transport for 21 years. As the Luton Corporation possess only 13 tramcars and the track mostly single line with passing places, the offer was accepted, aub- jeet to the consent of the Ministeri of Transport. Mr. Morrison, how- ever, refused his consent. Is this in the interests of the Larton rate payers?

NEWEST FINEST FASTEST FLEET-

For the first time in history a passenger service has been established between the Orient and

New York via California. Every fourteen days

a President Liner sails over this route on fast schedule. Shortly the two new flag ships, the President Hoover and the President Coolidge, will be added to this service. They are the largest electric liners in the world! Six decks of beauti-

ful accommodations, and minimum staterooms as spacious and attractive as home bedrooms.
