SHIPPING SENSATION
A SOUTH AFRICAN SUBSIDY
TO ITALIAN LINES!
London, Sept. 15. An astounding report has been in circulation for two or three days alleging that the South African Government had entered into an agreement to subsidise Italian shipping lines.
The report was scarcely credit- ed in responsible circles, particular- ly in view of the discussions at the World Economic Conference which were designed to bring an end to shipping subsidion.
Nevertheless, the rumoure up- pear to have more than a little foundation. It is fairly certain, indeed, that the South African Government has agreed to sub- sidise Italian shipping lines to the extent of £150,000 yearly, to carry Mediterranean Cape produce to ports.

REPLY TO LEADER
LONDON, SEPT. 15.
THE EARL OF LYTTON WRITES A VERY SHARP LETTER TO “THE TIMES” THIS MORN- ING, STRONGLY CRITICISING THE TONE OF YESTERDAY'S LEADING ARTICLE ON MANCHU-
KUO.
..
Lord Lytton challenges the writer's acceptance of Manchukuo as a fait accompli and also the statement that the rights or wrongs of Japan's actions two years ago are no longer relevant to the present or the future of the Far East.
The famous author of the Lytton Report points out that the unanimous vote of the League of Nations has declared Japan, to be in the wrong, while the statement in "The Times" propounds a doctrine which if accepted by responsible persons would destroy the whole founda- tions of peace in the post-war world.
The Times in its londor said, many other things, that the Japanese must show that they can | manage the Chinese as well as rule them, realising that some day the Manchurians ma prefer to take their advice rather than their orders,
