The Coming Conference

There is a general haziness regard- ing the coming Imperial conference in London which it may be timely to clear up.

The Imperial Conference will afford an opportunity for a general review ind discussion of all matters. both in the political and economic spheres, o! common interest to the members of the British Commonwealth under the following heads:_

(l) Inter-Imperial relations.

l2) Foreign policy and deifi-

(3) Economic questions.

As regards inter-Imperial relations, particular questions for consideration will be the recommendations of the recent Conference on the Operation of Dominion Legislation. including certain mazters expressly mentioned 1n the Report of that Conference as requiring further examination-meme- ly, nationality and the suggested Tri- bunal for the determination o.‘ inter- [mperial disputes: also other niat- ters of a constitutional character cognate to and arising from those discussed in the Report of the Inter- Imperial Relations Committee of the Conference of i926. Under the head of nationality the special question of the position of married women will be included.

As regards foreign policy and de- fence. the agenda will cover the fur- ther development of a peace and ar- bitration policy. This heading will in- clude the question of the reduction and limitation of armaments, togeth- I with any specific subjects con- nected with foreign policy which may require examination, and various aspects of defence.

On the economic side the following will be the main headings:-

ia) General question of the trade of the Empire, including capital in- vestments and establishment of branch industrias, the effect of suc- oasive tariff changes and the extent and effect of inter-Imperial tariff preferences. and also of other factors. such as cartels. etc.;

(b) Bulk purchase and price stab- ilization;

(c) Development of inter-Imperial trade by Trade Comniisioner ser- vices, exhibition, and general pub- licity;

(d) Oversea settlement;

(e) The past and future work of the Imperial Economic Committee, the Empire Marketing Board, and the Imperial Institute;

(f) Questions of co-operation in agricultural research (including cot- ton’ growing). forestry, and minerals;

(g) Special meetings of experts fr. industrial research and standardiza- tion; _

(h) drarisport and communications including review of the work of the Imperial shipping Committee and the Oversea Mechanical Transport Coun- cil, survey of steamship services, de- velopment of civil aviation, cable, radio, broadcasting, postal and news services. Under this heading would come also the question of the propos- ed agreements relating to merchant shipping legislation recommended in the Report of the Conference on the Operation of Dominion Legislation.

Significance of Exams

The necessity or otherwise of ex- pminations and the bearing these have on the true interests of educa- tion forms I Perennial subject of dis- cussion among educationists and stu- dents alike. The question is much to the fore at the beginning of a new school and college term for then it is brought more particularly home to parents and students alike. 1n a re- cent address at the City of Iondon Vacation Course, Mr. A. L. Fisher, Warden of New College, Oxford, de- tended examinations and scored those "liberty-loving" educationlsts who would dispense with them.

"When we read of the importance :f encouraging activity in s school and take note of the great part which i Eueh matters u series training and

W THE WEATHER AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH

I have spoken before about how patients afflicted with rheumatism make good weather prophets; that although the day may appear to be bright, that they can foretell bad weather hours ahead,

This is thought to be due to the electric conducting power of the air, and to atmospheric pressure.

However individuals not aflected with rheumatism can often foretell had. weather because of various symptoms within themselves.

Dr. H. J. Schmid, Berlin, points out that there exists certain symptoms that are usually considered as beinl caused by weather conditions.

First from the mental or head standpoint there is despondenoy, ir- ritability, drowsiness or sleeplessness, anxiety, headaches, dizziness, vomit- ing and nose bleed.

Then the digestive sn-npt/oms", lack of appetite. nausea, coat tongue, bad taste in the mouth, constipation or diarrhoea. And finally the rheu- matic symptoms of pain in the musc- les, in nerves, and in Joints.

Now just how does the atmosphere enter into the causation of these symptoms?

‘Phat the electricity and the at- mospheric pressure are causes is ad- mitted, but just how and to what. ex- tent is unknown. Also there may be other unknown factors that help to cause the symptoms.

Now as a matter of fact it is really conditions in that body of yours that enables the weather to have these above effects on you.

Just as the rheumatic condition of
