1582 was an onward step in the right direction, but now requires improvement to fill the needs of modern business methods.

By request of the International Chamber of Commerce the League of Nations look up the study of the above questions in 1923, and in 1926 requested all countries to form their national committees to study and report on the subject. Various countries have taken action accordingly.. ' ... The International Chamber of Coni' inercc, at its sth Congress (Amsterdam, July, 1929), passed a resolution urging that the nations who have not yet done so, should form their national committee to investigate impartially calendar reform in their respective countries, and that the League of Nations should convene an International Conference to negotiate without further delay a solution to this much desired improvement. The greatest first step towards peace on this earth might well be the establishment of a common measure of time throughout the world.—l am, etc., 0. N. SOLBERT, Secretary, National Committee on Calendar Reform, U.S.A. London, July 18th.
