At the League in 1927 he strongly defended the British refusal to under- take the commitments of the pro- posed Geneva Protocol, pointing out that the British Empire consisted of a number of self-governing people which might not ace eye to eye on the matter, and declaring that, if it came to the point, he would put the unity

of the Empire before Lengue. Great Britain, he added, had

ken sufficient already undertaken mitments in the Locarno Pact.

In the crisis with Egypt in May, 1928, Sir Austen took a strong line, and when he necepted the Kellogg Peace Pact, it was with a reservation regarding Egypt and territories in similar relation to England. His naval compromise with France in the summer of 1928 aroused suspicion and resentment in the United States and was reported to have been quietly dropped.

Great cheering greeted his attack on the idea of discussing frontier revision with the Nazis.

"Do you dare", he cried, "to put another Pole under the heel of such a Government?"

On the question of bombing in such regions as the NW. Frontier of India he ellelted a declaration that this would not be allowed to stand in the way of a general disarmament convention,

What is

the good of a

"Single" Whisky?

"A single whisky has double meaning," said Johnnie Walker. “When we in Scotland talk about 'single' whiskies we mean the many separate whiskies which are blended together to make Johnnie Walker. No two 'single' whiskies are exactly

alike; it is the art of the blender to retain the finest characteristics of each so that perfect harmony is achieved. In fact, harmonious blending, like harmonious marriage, is largely a matter of give and take." And the moral is, when giving or taking whisky, ask for Johnnie Walker by name."
