LORD NUFFIELD'S WORRIES INCREASED BY 500%

SENTIMENT

Begging Letters From COLLIDES

All Parts Of The

World

LORD Nuffield, who confessed that he had "not the foggiest

notion" of the extent of his gifts to charity, except that they totalled more than £10,000,000, said that he had "got tired of giving away money and needed a rest."

He was discussing the announce ment of his latest benefaction, his £1,000,000 gift to Oxford University for the creation of a new college and the entiment of Fellowships.

"The idea that giving way money Is an easy thing is the biggest fal- lacy," said Lord Nuffield. "My res

WORLD-WIDE REQUESTS

"After the announcement of any gift, I am written to from all over the world. The requests for money come from individols and organis tlons ulike. I have had letters from Central Africa and from the East, many of them abviously written by professional letter-writers.

"When you have made a gift, you are the man to be shot at by every body who thinks he would like some money, l'eople with stacks of money themselves write to me on behalf of causes for which, if they wished, they could easily give enough

WITH INTEREST

OVER ORIENTAL WARFARE

Washington.

Sentiment collided with interest in early stages of the United States reaction to the Sino-Japanese un- declared war, and business opinion did not exert any decisive mandato upon the course of United States policy. Lack of confidence in the neutrality law probably further con- fused the general reaction to the Far Eastern struggle.

The historical sympathy of the United States for China and the ten- dency to support the weaker party In a struggle were countered by econo- mic Interest based upon the large and flourishing commerce with Japan. Trade with Japan in 1936 represented 8.3 per cent. of United States total ex- ports and 7.1 per cent. of imports, whereas exports to China represented 1.0 per cent, of total exports and 3' per cent, of imports. Some observers thought that the relatively large com- mercial interest with Japan was deterrent to application of the United States neutrally act.

The national foreign trade conven- flon to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, November 3 10 5, will afford the first broad forum for businessmien's dis- cussion of the struggle in the Orient, and may crystalize opinion concern- the future course of United States policy both toward the Far Eastern wor and the Philippine Common- wealth

Ing

This twenty-fourth annual conven- tlon will concern itself with the Unit- ed States policy of international co- operation and non-discrimination in the field of comineree, but special sessions devoted to the Far East and the Philippines, and to Latin Ameria, will localize attention to current pro-

and blems both in the Far East, omong the southern neighbours of the United States.

PROTECTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY

One important tople of business- men's interest is expected to be the extent to which the United States should protect the lives and property of its nationals in the Far Eastern war area, Although the protection of the lives of American citizens is

pledged by the United States govern ment, opinion differ widely as to when, whether, and to what degree United States armed forces should be employed for the protection of Ame rican property abroad.

TOO MUCH SUNSHINE CITED AS CAUSE OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS

YOU ARE

JUST AS OLD

AS YOU FEEL!

Al middle age and in advancing years many men, and women too, And their health slipping, vague aches and pains assail them and they are at a loss to know the cause. In most such cases a tone for the blood, to repair the wear and tear on the nerves and tissues will usually restore normal healthy well-being, for on the condition of the blood good health depends.

Because they create fresh supplies of rich, red blood, Dr. Williams* Pink Pills are an invaluable tonic imparting new life to the whole system, restoring digestion, strengthening the nerves and preventing those aches and pains which are so often the cause of a rapid decline in later years.

Many men and women to-day are thanking Dr. Williams Pink Pills for the good health they enjoy; here is the experience of a couple In Australia:

"Most people think my husband is only about fifty years old, netually he is seventy but is very active," wriles bira. E. Meriton, Main Street, Korong Vale, Victoria, "The reason is that whenever he gets tired and a bit off-colour he always takes Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which keep him wonderfully well. I take these pills too, for when was young I suffered from anaemia and my mother gave them to me and I made a splendid recovery. Now whenever I get run down, Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis soon make me well again. They put wonderful life into us and we rarely feel weary and tired."

For all ailments arising from on impoverished condition of the blood, such as digestive disorders, Insomnia, emaciation, premature ageing, rheumatism and its kindred allments, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the ideal remedy. They are equally good for men, and women at all stages of life. Begin your cure to-day. Chemists everywhere sell
