NEWS AND NOTES.

SEI .K-GOVEE NMENT FOR INDIA. “ i tell this Assembly again, and through them India, that the declaration of 1917 stands, and will stand for all time, as the solemn pledge of the British people to do all that can be done by one people to assist another to attain full national .political stature, and that pledge so given will never he dishonoured. And I will add that 1 should not he standing before you here to-day as Governor-General il I believed that the British people had withdrawn their hand'from that solemn covenant. Gentlemen of the Assembly, though we may differ on all other issues, lot us not readily or lightly impugn the good faith <>t one another, for that is to destroy the very foundation of all hope of better things. Those, therefore, who can guide public opinion -in this country are doing no service to India if they accustom her to think lightly of disobedience to constituted authority, whatever the title by which such disobedience may be described.”

COLD FEET. “There is no situation in life calling Tor quick and vital decisions that is not influenced by calorifics at the extremities. A hot head will do anything, but numbed toes and freeing ankles will always follow tlie line of least, resistance and do nothing at all. Keep the. feet warm and the head cool, and you are immune from the major ills of life, medical and mental alike.”— “ Daily Express.”
