Dryer, until recently the Governor of
the important Punhab province of India,
in an article in the Globe" concerning
the unrest in India, which has taken the
form Of Government boycotts, strikes

this much at least can be stated with
certainty, that the present extremist
movement is heading straight for the
Reorganization OF trade and commerce,
for the ruin of every British interest and
for anarchy and rebellion. He asserts
that the time for toying with sedition in
this vast empire has long passed and
that if Britain is to retain India, the law
must be vigorously and impartially en-
forced, irrespective Of persons, caste or
class, and II those who are heading the
revolutionary conspiracy should be dealt
with under the law, before too late.

Harding, to consider means for reducing
naval expenditures, without affecting
the efficiency of the nations first line of
defence. Although favouring a navy
strong enough to ensure safety to the
shores of the United States and United
States commerce., Mr.. Harding feels that
much of the present expenditure for the
naval establishment could be dispensed
with by the exercise of greater economy
and that possibly the naval building pro-
gramme could be safely curtailed.

pany Product.

The latest creation in automobile
body finish has been put on the mar
ket recently by the Jordan Motor
Car company Of Cleveland. o., and
is called the Crane Simplex Gray
finish. The finish is gray in color,
but this does summarize the various
advantages Of this particular paint
finish.
According to Mr.. Jordan, head OF
the Jordan Motor Car company, who
personally drove one of these cars
$4,000 miles in winter weather, it is
the most durable finish yet devised.
After $4,000 miles cold water and a
sponge made this Car appear as new.
There is no varnish checking and
mud stains are impossible. The cost
of rehnishing is approximately one
third of the cost of an ordinary paint
job.
Although this is a dull finish, it
will make a particular appeal to
those who would choose a dust
proof exterior which is very easy to
keep clean.
