London, Feb. 9.
May 22, 1937, will likely be the date fixed for the corona- tion of King Edward VIII, it is learned by Reuter from those in close touch with Buckingham Palace.
There will be a great gathering of Imperial statesmen for the ceremony and an early official announcement is expected:
The Imperial Conference has been postponed until 1987 in order that the Dominions' statesmen shall not have to make two journeys to London, and it is believed the Conference will be held just before or just after the Coronation. The date will be determined after consultation with all the Dominions.
After the Coronation it is anticipated that His Majesty. will visit Edinburgh, Belfast and Carnarvon,
Later in 1937, possibly in October, the King is expected
to proceed to India, to be crowned Emperor at Delhi.

The possibility of His Majesty visiting the Dominions is being freely canvassed, but this subject is stili in an exploratory stage, it been suggested, however, that liik Majesty might make a visit to la Daminions and
important colonies after his coronation," and a triumphal tour of this sort would be Overacas highly gratifying to the

U.S. BUYING IN ASIA
CHINA HAS GOOD BALANCE
JAPAN A GOOD CUSTOMER
New York, Feb. 9. The United States imports from Asia during the year 1835 Improved sharply over those of 1934, but ex- porta declined owing to the slump in China, according to the Department of Commerce statistics.
This apparently demonstrates that the United States silver polley has not stimulated the export trade as was hoped by Congress.
Outstanding features of the United States trade with Asin during 1933,
aro:-
(1) Over half of the United States exports to Asia were destined for Japan, while at the mame an in- timo Japan becamo creasingly important supplier to the United States;
(2) China has an extraordinarily favourable merchandise balance against the United States; (3) The United States trade with the Philippines improved in both directions, thus dissipat ing the apprehension that the establishment of the Philip. pinca Commonwealth might disturb
The commerce. At samo time It is still considered to be too early to measure the economie consequences of the Philippine's new status.
