NOTES OF THE DAY

The extent to which the World Economic Conference can accomp. llah any of the high purposes pro- posed for it depends upon to-day's moeting of the Bureau. If the gold countries succeed in their effort to restrict the agenda to matters of trivial importance, the delegatca might just as well pack their bags and go home. At the same time, it would be futile to discuss broad questions of monetary policies if the gold.bloc merely use the op-

portunity to stress their grievances

against President Roosevelt.

In the currency stabilisation dis- puto, there is an arguable case on both sides. The plea that tariffs

and other trade restrictions can- not be discussed in their practical bearings except on

an accepted monetary basis is undoubtedly well founded. Were it possible, it would clearly be an advantage to assume a fixed value of currencies. The American difficulty is that temporary. fixing would generally be taken as an indication of the ultimate rate and President Roose- velt refuses to have his hands tied.

THE SINGING FOOL.

Benny Proulx, who, in between riding ponies at Happy Valley looks after the interests of Uned Artistes filma in Hongkong, tells us that Al Jolson has caused a stir with his latest picture, "Halle- lujah, I'm a Tramp," because it is recorded with "rhythmic dia- logue." This is hailed as some- thing new, and something that will revolutionise films. We haven't seen the picture, but it sounds to us as if old Shakespeare (Bill, to his friends) used rhythmic dia- logue long before Al. went over to talkies.
