London, May 17.
In glorious weather Prince Hirohito arrived at Aldershot. His visit was marked with every honour and distinction the garrison could pay. Prince Hirohito was accompanied by Admiral Konaturi. He was received by Lord Cavau. A salute of twenty-one guns was fired, the Japanese standard hoisted and Japanese anthem played. At their parade the Coldstream Guarda gave the royal salute. After reviewing the Guards Prince Hirohito paid a series of visits.
THE OPIUM EVIL.
London, May 17.
In a letter to the Times Sir W. J. Collins, British plenipotentiary at the Opium Conferences, dealing with the progress made through the League of Nations towards the universal effectivo execution of the International Convention, declares that there is little doubt that the production of opium and morphia, and probably cocaine, in recent years has greatly exceeded any conceivable legitimate or medical use. As long as this is so suppression of their abuse is foredoomed to failure. Control from the source and international co-operation are essential to combat the evil.
TAXING INCREMENT IN AMERICA.
Washington, May 17.
An important decision affecting millions of dollars of Govern- ment revenue has been given in the Supreme Court, whereunder Increase in value of any asset must be considered as part of the profits, from the taxation viewpoint.

pay taxes on the increase.

AMERICA AND BRITAIN.
Kansas City, May 17. Addressing St. Andrew's Society, Sir Auckland Geddes denied that there was any possibility of Britain being drawn into conflict with the United States owing to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. He declared that such rumours were German propaganda. He em- phasised that the Treaty specifically provided that it should not operate against any nation with which Britain or Japan had a gen- eral arbitration treaty, and such a treaty existed between Bri. tain and the United States in the form of the "Peace Commission Treaty."
ITALIAN ELECTIONS.
Rome, May 11.
Though the elections were orderly in the chief cities, disturbances in the rural districts resulted in casualties, variously estimated at from eight to fifteen killed. It is already evident that the Com- munists are badly defeated.
THE AALAND ISLANDS.
London, May 17. The Aaland Islands Commission of the League of Nations has recommended that the islands be handed to Finland, subject to certain guarantees.
