Tokyo Discussions On Surplus Holdings Of
Sterling By Japanese
Tokyo, Dec. 4.
Officials of the International Trade and In- dustry Ministry and the Finance Ministry are at variance in their discussions on how to solve the problem of Japan's surplus Pound holdings, the evening paper ""Tokyo Shimbun” reported.

Kenya Booming As
A Holiday Resort
London, Dec. 4.
If the enterprising businessmen of Kenya one day have their way, East Africa may become a holiday resort as popular with tourists as Switzerland or Bermuda.
The Colony's tourist trade continues to grow year by year. In 1948, tourists brought some £2,000,000 to the country; in 1949 this figure rose to about £3,000,000.
