In response to A request, the United Btates' position was set forth in a com- munication sent to the League through Dr. Charles F. Marvin of the United States Weather Bureau, however, with the National Committe: for Calendar Simplification. ! In the report Jewish religionists, sup- ported by two day “Sabbath-keep- | ing” Christian sects, raised objections to interrupting the continuity of the week, as most of the calendar reforma- : ant Jead- | ygs.

Most of the several hun- dreds of individuals and associations appealed to for opinion answered not at all, though some took the time to an- swer, asserting simply that they had no opinion, were even indifferent. British Rotary Indifferent. Even 356 British Rotary Clubs con- sulted qualified for the “indifferent” class in that only 86 took the trcuble to reply, and of these 39 were opposed to any change, while 3 said they “had no opinion to express.” which is quite contrary to the popular conception of Rotary as it is known in the land of its birth. Speaking for British Jewry, the chief | rabbi stated that the Jews were not in | principle opposed to calendar reform or the stabilization of Easter, but that it was of vital importance to Judaism that the length of the week be in no circum- stances interfered with or the regular sequence of the seven-day week inter- rupted by a “blank day” as proposed. On this question there no division of opinion in Jewry. Calendar revision, reform or fixation and accomplishment, according to gen- eral opinion resulting from the League's inquiry. The minority report of Hun- gary puts it in unmistakable fashion when it states that “if a radical solu- tion cannot be universally accepted at this time, it were better to affirm that calendar ‘reform is at present unnec- essary.” When the wheel of A.

ISTANBUL, Turkey.—Every one knows that the cost of living has increased tremendously in Turkey, but very few people are aware of the fact that the increase is more on goods raised in the country. If any one talks about the high cost of living he is told immediately that the customs on foreign goods is very high, and hence the prices rose higher Yet recent statistics show that home products lead the list. Fish that was sold for about 3 piasters in 1914 is now about 75; meat has crept from 2 piasters to 100, etc. This tremen- dous increase is largely due to the high cost of transportation. In some cities of Anatolla butter, cheese and eggs cost almost nothing, but by the time these articles come to Istanbul they are as dear as foreign goodsA (Copyright, 1931, by New York Sun Forelsn Service) Elec.
