Nicotine ? Not at all. That is tobacco tar the dark brown, semi-solid, intensely irritant product of burning leaf. You Bec what it does to your fingers think what does to your throat!` That's what causes the coughing and catarch, the burning, the dried-up feeling. The filter tip of a du Maurier traps tobacco tar. Nicotine suave enchantment - lives in the cool, full-flavoured smoke of a du Maurici cigarette. Smoke that is smoother for being unspoilt better for being clean.

DEATH OF “NEW. DIPLOMACY":

chance to express opinion, This allegation scarcely bears oxamination. The ultimate arbi- tor of the national destiny is, and 'always'has been, the nation; how It is influenced in, its decision in another matter, but autocrate in the past have no more been able to ignore a people's will in matters of foreign policy than modern die-i tators can afford to.. Diplomacy con never be more than Instrument, however intelligent, and to attribute to it some dark .motive of its own is to ignore the facts. On the contrary, there are Innumerable examples-in the history of both our own and other nations where the advice of the professional, diplomats has been rejected or neglected.

Another common gibe in that: diplomacy is practised by foreign offices and ambassadors is de- liberately deceitful-n. Machiavell- lan craft based on gulle and false- hood, presenting bouqueta of poisonous herbs' wrapped up to look like roses. Those who make this accusation evidently forget that hypocrisy is a tribute paid by vice to virtue, and that the ability to disguise unpleasant meanings In plansant forms, and, if neces- sary, to suppress one's feelings altogether, is the most necessary of all civic virtues, the indispens able basis of peaceful relation- ahips. If everybody spoke their own mind all the time life would very Boon become intolerable; similarly, ff Governments always expressed. their exact thoughts about each other, peace would not last very long. Diplomacy be tween States plays the same part as good manners among private individuals; without it the nations would be reduced to warring tribes of savages.

If "style is the man" 48 λ Frenchman claimed, the diplomatie language of a nation is the re- flection of its spirit, French rationalism, English empiricism, Italian subtlety--they meet you with the unvarying expression of old friends at every turn of the comploxy Intrigue, a comforting assurance that nothing has really changed, that nothing new happen. This, bland inevitability exasperates inexperienced nations, On the other hand the clumsiness of inexperienced nations in the age-old game is a recurrent cause of shock to the mature nations; they are embarrassed by it as grown-ups by the crudeness of an enfant terrible.

Good diplomacy has a finish, a refinement of workmanship which

is required only as in the arts, by gradual perfectment through cen- turies. It cannot be learnt in a generation or two, but once evolved it is never wholly last. Thus you will still And in dealings with diminished nations such as Spain, Portugal, or Austria, a certain quality of dignity-almost of nobility which could be inherited only from a long past. It is the politeness of civilised people. It is to be hoped that their more virile neighbours will acquire this quality. For there was never a moment when civilised behaviour, of which the old diplomacy was the highest expression, was more necessary to prevent a lapae into barbarism than it is to-day.

EXPENDITURE

Ramo, Juno 26,2 Signor Mussolinil has adopted In simple expedient to save Italy 600,000,000 fire in public expen- diture.

Recently, Il Duce instructed all Government departments to classify their expenditure under three headings: "Indiaponnable,” "Necessary", and "Usoful",

When these expenditure appro- priations were submitted to him Mussolini scrapped the "Useful" section and considerably pruned exponditure under the "Neces sary" heading, thus reducing the costs by the amount necessary.— Router Special.
