Berlin, To-day.
IT IS STRESSED HERE that the new German-Soviet trade and credit agreement will resuscitate German-Soviet trade which, while quite considerable a few years ago, has dwindled more and more. Although no detailed official data is available concerning the categories of goods which will be delivered by Ger- many to the Soviet and vice versa, business quarters be- lieve that the commercial credit of 200,000,000 Marks which Germany will grant to the Soviet Union will be used by the Soviet Union mostly for the purchase of special German machines.
The Soviet Union bought from Ger- many a considerable part of the ma- chinery imported from abroad in con- nection with the Soviet Union's indus- trialisation programme.
Germany, on the other hand, will receive from the Soviet mostly raw materials such as timber, ore, oil and JACQUELINE WELLS perhaps also cotton and fodder.

It is pointed out that the supplemen- tary character of the economy of the Soviet Union to the Reich constitutes a factor most favourable to trade be-
the tween the two countries, since Soviet with its immense natural re- sources will for many years have a large demand for industrial products, particularly machines for its indus- while Ger- trialisation programme, many requires enormous quantities of
other raw materials and
products which might be imported from the Soviet Union which has a surplus available for export.-Trans-Ocean.
BRITISH FARMERS "REVOLT"
Four hundred farmers, meeting in
London to discuss the home produc-
tion of bacon and pork, decided that the whole fabric of official schemes to deal with their products is unsound and inadequate for times of peace and a grave handicap when they wish to be fully prepared for emergency.
Mr. James A. Fox, chairman of the Pigs Marketing Board, appealed for further time to meet the Minister of Agriculture and to negotiate terms for next year's price for pigs sent to British bacon factories.
BRUISES ALL OVER HER BODY
With bruises all over her body, ́à 10-year-old girl, Cheng Kong- yan, was brought into the Cen- tral Police. Court this morning, when her mother was charged with ill-treating the child.
It was alleged that when the child refused to obey an order, accused beat her with a rattan stick.

Several speakers called on the Board to resign.. Criticisms included:" Mr. Alfred Lewis, Norfolk. You'
have been like boys playing at busi-
ness. If you cannot make satisfac-·
of tory contracts for the purchase the pigs which we produce you should
throw in your hands.
Mr. G. F. Young, Lincoln.-For three years, on behalf of the interests which I represent, I contracted for and delivered 2,000 pigs annually to the factories. The loss on them was £5,000. Last year we did not contract, and we were £1,700 better off.

It was decided that the protest would be sufficiently effective without sending a special deputation to the Ministry of Agricul- ture.
IMPORTS NOT ENOUGH
The revolt against the Board and its activities was crystallised by Mr. J. O. Steed, of Long Melford, Suffolk, who subsequently took the chair at the emergency meeting. He said that producers could not carry on when coerced into a position which implied losses.
