Meyer of tbe`Board of Trade and,"of this quan- tity `about 10 per cent. Is available and suitable for the production of ell products, as well as industrial .gas and coke of varying quoted a. The present annual production ofetbal is 14,000,000^tons, and almost all of this is ,burned and the valuable by-prod- ucts lost and wasted. The memorandum points' out that to -day there -,.are round about'100,000 motor vehicles on South African roads, and that these require about 40,000,000 gallons of patrol to say no- thing oS- lubricating oils. These fig- ures are continually increasing and the problem of a cheap local supply which will make the country indepen dent of foreign importations 1s an im- p_ ortent one. • In this memorandum Dr, Meyer die- eneses three sources of motor fuel— oil shales, industrial alcohol, and coal.' Theo 1 shale deposits in South Africa are relatively small and cane not by themselves offer a Solution to elle problem, though they are iinpor 'tart as a contributory factor. The only raw material so far direc- tly available, and which has been technfeitlly used on a commercial scale for the production of industrial alcohol, is the molasses from the auger iliciustry'ot Natal and Zululand. But even if all the molasses which. comes as a' be -product from the in- dustry were used, the dntpitt would still be small compared with the country's requirements of motor fuel. Other raw ' materials which might be utilized aro the crops of inferior maize which forfn part of the har- vests of the Union, and waste wood. The report discusses in detail the modern processes of treating coal, particularly those from whichmotor ellseare obtained, and the opinion is 'expresse dthat most of these could be adapted to meet South African requirements. The eelue of the vari- oue other by-productsjs oleo stressed and- some possible markets .are out- lined. ` - The establishment of an iron and steel industry at Pretoria, should en- able a start to be made in this direc- tion.

During recent years the Welsh nationalist newspapers have ac- corded eonsiderahle,publicity in their columns to this question, ,but so far nothing has : resulted. In point of population and commercial imtfor- tanco,"Cardiff is easily the leading Welsh city, end It is likely that Its claims for oToial recognition as the metropolis.. of Wales would find a large number of `°supporters. Its population, at the opening of the nineteenth century was not 200. To- day it is well over 200,0'00, and the city as regarded as one oC the , big ports of the, British Empire. On the other hand, the nationalists of the p�rincipakkty assert that Cardiff is "Anglicized" through and through, and that the vast majority of its peo- ple are not Welsh people. The cham- piens '.of Carnarvon point out that Carnarvon is "patriotic to the core," and .that' its outlook both from. religie. o05 and.:lingufstio viewpointseahe lis=" tinetively Welsh.
