INCREASES IN MANCHURIA COAL OUTPUT QUOTA
(SPECIÁL TO "CHINA MAIL"} Hsinking, To-day.
An increased coal output, to satisfy the constantly increasing demand, has been decided by the Manchukuo Plan- ning Bureau.
An increased coal quota will be given the steel and electric industries. Considerable quantities of coal will be imported from North China, and steel works which last year curtailed pro- duction considerably owing to lack of coal, will work at full capacity.
On the other hand, "for special rea- sons", only a minimum supply of coal will be provided for gas production, heating and several other industries. Shipments of coal to Japan are ex- pected to be much larger this year al- though they will not reach the full amount originally planned-Havas.

It is, added that apart from prayers for those on war duty, prayers will also be said for those upon whom the miseries of war have fallen. Havas.
