GENERAL CABLES

By Telegraph— Frees association. —Copyright. . The British Labour Party has decided to utilise Eastern Lodge, the mansion presented to it by Countess Warwick, as summer schools for educational meetings, a hostel for delegates to international conferences, and a week-end rest-place for Labour members of tlie House <f Commons. It is reliably reported, according to a Berlin message* that the League of Saxon Textile Industrialists has decided to boycott Australian .wool as a reprisal for Australia’s exclusion of German goods, and intends to buy only Argentine and Uruguay wools, because the latter are unrestrictedly importing German goods. There is much discussion in regard to Einstein’s resignation from membership of the Commission of Intellectual 1 Co-openation attached to the I eague of Nations. It is attributed to fear of pan-German organisations, which have threatened Einstein with death if he continued his connection with the League. Mr. Silk, the new manager of Mort’s Dock, SydncJ.z, said that owing to over-production during the war shipbuilding in Britain touched bottom in 1922, but there was every indication of expansion in the future, especially in respect to passenger vessels. Australia would be unable, to compete against Britain until the cost of production was reduced. The Washington Academy of Sciences has 'elected Mr. E. C. Andrews New South Wales, Government Geologist, as an Honorary Member for 1923. He is the seventh to receive the honour. His works include a successful investigation- of coral reefs in the Fiji group, and his paper on glacial topography in tho Southern Alps of New Zealand is regarded as a classic.
