With regard to the unti-Turfkish policy recently displayed by Great Britain, the Khalifat Committee was outspoken in its condemnation. Resolutions passed on this subject were J as follows: I "This meeting of the Central Khalifat Committee accepts the challenge thrown by .Mr. Lloyd George, the British Premier, in his speech at Manchester, to Asia on the one hand and Islam on the other, and assures hur. and other persons of his way of thinking that so far as Islam is concerned, this challenge to the Moslems of the world, alive to their responsibility, are every ready to meet in every possible manner. "This meeting of the Central Khalifat Committee considers the Britistt activities, in their attempts to internationalize the Turkish Straits, as . unjust and coercive, and in the opin ion of this committee such internationalization could only be justifiable i in case other powers, especially Briti ain. internationalize the seas under their respective influences, and, further, in the opinion of this meeting, i such attempts are detrimental to the . freedo mof the Khalifa of Islam and I the seat of the Khalifat."

The New York canal locks can handle from 2,500 to 3,000 tons at each lockage. The table prepared by Mr. Barnes shows that transportation on the big h bulk freighters developed on the ' | Great Lakes, with their 10,000 to 13,009 tons capacity, is the cheapest in .lie world, one dollar will carry a ton of freight 1,000 miles in one of these t' ships, he says.
