Major Franco, well known Spanish airman, has been placed on the retired list, following the publication of his book " Wings and Clouds." matter how Jween (leeks ASTWARD HO! Toward the rising sun and the adventure lands of Europe and Asia! For every man, no ong it is since he read Robinson Crusoe and the Arabian Nights, has carried in his imagination the thoughts of rafts, awful green monsters, and cannibals to be made into stew. Age and experience have probably built of the raft an ocean liner; of the awful green monsters the beauties of new lands ; and of the cannibals the picturesque peoples of Europe and Asia. But just the same the zest for adventure still teases his thoughts and at the first opportunity, he plays the part of Sinbad the Sailor, and leaves the humdrum mediocrity of everyday existence to sail the seas, and explore in reality the lands of imagination. So let us sail into storied waters, voluntary harbingers of good-will, investigating the charm of historic spots and Old World peoples who were called, ages ago, into the limelight of history. Cheerfully do we accept our responsibilities as unofficial ambassadors from the new world enroute to vision and to profit, each of us, immediately and later. Life is keenly interesting in the East. It is intricate and we are among the very fortunate ones to be able to enjoy, as we shall, all that will be unfolded for our benefit. Days will be colorful, nights will be full of gaiety and life and slowly the east will be brought to our very door for our pleasure. Eastward into the land of the ancients will the impress of Australia carry us who will proudly and eagerly reflect in all places, at all times, a spirit which will earn for us the title of " Ambassadors of Good-will." So shall we gaily, with nerves atingle at the prospect, cultivate our new friends, and plan for an immediate enjoyment of all those opportunities at hand and to come, to indulge our imagination and at last to live our dreams. The Em-Press will appear daily when we are at sea on the Cruise. In it will be published items of interest to the Cruise Members, news of happenings on ship board, incidents pertaining to shore excursions, items of value as to ports to be visited and it will serve to record the story of this trip round the world.

In President Hoover's annual message to the United States communicated to the 71st Congress to-day he states : " I wish to emphasize that during the year, the nation has continued to grow from strength to strength.

In the hope of reducing friction in the world we are joining with Britain, France, Italy and Japan in a conference in London in January in order to try to reduce the great economic burdens of naval armaments.

The most critical division of the present Parliament was taken on Thursday night in the House of Commons when the Second leading of the Government's Coal Mines Bill was carried by 281 votes to 273. Some doubt had been expressed as to the attitude of the Liberals towards the Bill until an uncompromising speech by Mr. Lloyd George, which was delivered during the early stages of the debate. The Prime Minister, who wound up the debate, replied to the questions addressed to the Government by Mr. Lloyd George, but when the division was taken only nve Liberals remained neutral, two voted with the Government and the remaining forty-live members of the party went into the Opposition Lobby. Referring" to the Liberal demand for compulsory Colliery amalgamation, the Prime Minister said that amalgamation could not be attained in time to enable trade to adjust itself to a shorter working" day for the miner, but steps necessary for amalgamation would be proceeded with without delay, and though he was doubtful if legislation could be embodied in this Rill, if it was possible to do it. in that way, it would be done. Economically, the low price at which coal had been sold had not permitted decent wages to be paid to the miners. When royalties were nationalised, as they must be-and that without delay- and the industry re-organized, the conditions that made Part 1 of the Bill necessary, would have disappeared and the problem of marketing coal from the pit-head to the consumer would become soluable. He recognized that the Kill required some strengthening and any Amendment tabled on the lines of the Bill to strengthen its provisions, would be considered by the Government. ♦ Lord Balfour, Mr. Lloyd George and General Smuts, who were members of the War Cabinet which was responsible for the Balfour Declaration twelve years ago, and for the policy of a National Home for Jewish people, which it foreshadowed, have, in a joint letter to the Times, urged the Government to appoint an authorative commission to investigate the whole working of the Palestine Mandate. They point out that the commission at present in Palestine has limited terms of reference to enquire into specified matters and suggest that when it has reported, it should be supplemented by a searching enquiry into major questions of policy and administration.
