Britain is still sending scrap-iron to Germany, though now it goes first to other countries on its way to the smelting works which are springing up all over Hitlerland.
And this is likely to go on. Mr. Oliver Stanley, Board of Trade
chief, questioned in the House of JUNK PIRACY
Commons by Socialist M.P. A. Edwards, was unable to promise it would be stopped.
A nation-wide search last year for scrap-iron resulted in the attica of Britain contributing six million tons of metal, valued at £10,000,000, to industry and rearmament.
HIGH GERMAN IMPORTS
While that campaign, which was sponsored by the British Iron and Steel Federation, was encouraging Britons to sell their scrap, other merchants were selling their pig- iron to Germany.
}
Chan Fun-tim, 46, steersman, was treated in the Kowloon Hos- pital, with a gun shot wound in his left buttock.
He states that at about 8 a.m. yesterday morning, four men arm- ed with three rifles and a revolver boarded his junk, near Chek Wan. Two baskets of oranges, valued at $54 and $24 in Chinese currency were stolen. The injuries received during the raid.

LOCAL SHARES
Following is the list of changes and
German imports of the metal produced in the British Empire amounted to 58,000 tons during 1938. Of that, 49,500 tons went to enquiries in local share quotations this Germany between October and De-jmorning:- cember, despite the crisis of September.
Hitler paid 2,971,000 Reichs- marks for British pig-iron during the year.
NO EXCUSE NOW
The excuse given in the House
of Commons for such sales was that they were filling a contract made when there was a small de- mand for pig-iron here.
That contract has now run out, but the supply of scrap-iron to Germany is still going on.
