GENERAL BELIEF IS THAT A WITHDRAWAL FROM SPAIN WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION, ALTHOUGH OTHER MATTERS ARE CERTAIN TO BE DISCUSSED. SIGNOR MUSSOLINI, WHEN HE MEETS GENERAL GOERING, WILL BE COMING FRESH FROM HIS MEETING WITH DR. SCHUSCHNIGG AND AUSTRIA'S FUTURE POSITION WILL FIGURE LARGELY IN THE GOERING TALKS.
General Goering is, however, recognised as Herr Hitler's envoy for Spanish affairs, and it is be- lieved that both statesmen seriously perturbed by General continued inability to Sohn used to leap out of a plane Franco's with a pair of wings of his own win the war, while it is known invention attached to his shoulders.

The Post Office, incidentally, have made arrangements that mail for the First Flight posted now will be date-stamped April 29 the day of the flight.
It is hoped, therefore, that mails will be posted as early as possible.
Anticipations are that about 50,000 letters, principally by phila- telists, will be carried from Hong Kong on the first Clipper flight.
It should be noted that Regis- tered Mails for the trip will be closed in Kowloon and at the G.P.O. at 5 p.m. on Wednesday. Ordinary letters will close at the General Post Office at 6 a.m. on Thursday and may be posted in the ordinary boxes at the G.P.O.
