George Hambleton, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) London, July 23. -- The clouds are rising in Manchuria but they hang heavily over British industry. London newspapers are far more concerned with the three-fold eris- is. in Bitish industry than with the Sino-Russian dispute.

Employers in this great industry have submit- ted to the joint industrial council of the wool industry an application for all-round reduction in wages. Amount of reduction of not an- nounced put is understood to de about 10 per cent. The miners continue their de- | mand for repeal of the eight-hour day act. Repeal without substitu- tion of modifications will mean the restoration of the seven hour day, and' ¢oal owners contend this will ruin the industry.

If the discussions brought forth no fresh ideas at least they gave op- portunity for a frank stocktaking of what the Church of England has so far accomplished in the matter of migration and settle- ment, The conference quite frankly agreed the results to uate were not entirely satisfactory, Earl Jellicoe presided over to- day's conference. Both speakers and those who listened evinced the keenest interest in the problems to be confronted. Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of Can- terbury, spoke of the reluctance of the people of today to open their minds to the spirit of adventure and make for themselves careers in the open spaces of empire more promising than anthing they could achieve at home. The younger people especially were backward in this regard, he thought.
