MEMORANDUM TO
MR. RUNGIMAN
London, June 6.
The Executive Committee of the cotton trade organisations have addressed a Memorandum to Mr. Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade, In the matter of the proposed Anglo-Japanese dia- cusolone.
The memorandum urges that should the Japanese delay in send- Ing representatives to the proposed conversations, the British Govorn- ment should proceed with formal] notice to abrogate the trade treatles.
Meanwhile, the Government | should arrange
in the different Empire markets for the imposition of Rabatantial margins of prefer- ence or the control of imports by quotas, which might be reconsider- ed if the proposed conversations led to a situation justifying recon- sideration.
If the conversations break down, the Government should make a pact with Holland to protect the Anglo- Dutch Far Eastern colonies from? unfair competition by the Japanese cotton industry.---Reuter,

LONDON, JUNE 6. EXTRAORDINARY SCENES WERE VISIBLE IN THE STREETS OF LONDON YESTERDAY WHEN LONDONERS SEEMED TO BE WILTING UNDER THE HOTTEST WHITSUNTIDE WEA- THER FOR AS LONG AS CAN BE REMEMBERED.
The streets were full of hatless and coatlens pedestrians, reminiscent of a New York summer's day.
To-night, many residents slept in gardens, the suburbs presenting a strange spectacle to the passers-by.
The thermometer, starting at a higher level than Sunday, again soared to 87 degrees in the shade, while at Brighton, the heat was even more intense, a tempera- ture of ninety degrees being registered in the South Coast resort.
The whole of the South of England is sweltering in the heat wave, which promises to continue for some
little time.
