GEMS FOR THE MASSES.

Johannesburg, April l1.-R. H. Hender-
son, ex-msyor of Kimberley, in a letter TO
the press on the diamond crisis, says that
the policy outlined by Cecil Rhodes at the
last meeting Of the De Beers Company
that he attended was the maintenance OF
steady dividend OF 40 per cent and
a fair price Of 20 shillings per carat.
He points out that since then dividends
have reached So per cent. while the price
has almost doubled. thus limiting the sale
TO wealthy few in America
Mr. Henderson urges that the position
could be saved By reducing the price OF
diamonds to bring them within the reach
of the masses In Europe and America.
This would lead 10 the employment Of an
increased number Of whites. and would
relieve the mining companies Of any
agreement with the buying syndicsta.
