The United Kingdom is the only country in which rationing has been a success.—Professor E. IT. Starling.
Mr E. S. Montague, Secretary of State for India, is a Jew, a son of the millionaire banker. Lord Swaythling, whose name was Samuel until he changed it by deed-poll to Montagu. The Secretary for India was educated at the City of London School, and took his degree at Cambridge University, where he was noted for being a hard and systematic worker, and won a reputation _ for cleverness in argument. “ It’s a pity,” remarked one youth after one of their political discussions, “ that ‘ Monty ’ doesn’t come on our side in politics; I’m sure he would sit on his own arguments like a thousand of bricks. As for us, although, of course, we know we are right, wc know precious little about it.” ■ ,
