FUTURE OF TIN PROBED
EXPERTS EXAMINE METAL MARKET
DEMAND MUCH IMPROVED
London, Nov. 3. "Whither tin?" is the question which Messrs. A. Strauss and Com- pany attempt to answer in their monthly circular.
Whilst admitting that Dutch in- terests, having mule large forward sales in London and being partially satisfied with the extra profita from guilder devaluation, constitute the
major obstacle to a renewal of the
restriction scheme, the writers em- phasise that the overwhelming desires of all parties to reach an agreement might lead to an cleventh-hour com promise,
If the scheme collapses, however, an imprecipitous full hi price will be justified, especially since the Euro- pran demand is much improved.

NEW REGIME IN IRAQ
FRIENDLY TOWARDS
BRITAIN
Londen, Nov. 3. Considerable interest is shown in the newspapers regarding the effects of last week's military empi d'etat in Iraq.
The newspuers generally in- cline to the belief that the new regine will recognise as fully as its predecessor the advantages of clave and friendly relations with the Britishy Government. 111 noted that ihe question of the recognition of
now Government is unlikely to arise, is the resignation of old Ministers and the appointment of new mitwadd- ly followed normat formalities.
Looking further to the future, several writers express thi 3+1+s4 that the attitude of the British publie towards the new administration wid be determined to a grest extent by its policy towarts the minority com-
nuntios in Iraq.-British Wireless.

Johnnie Walker looks into the future
"If good whisky could be had by just making it," said Johnnie Walker, “there would be no need to look into its future. But it is only by maturing for long years in the wood that good whisky develops 'depth and roundness.' · Every year thousands and thousands of casks of whisky are laid down for Johnnie Walker-every year thousands and thousands of casks of fully matured whiskies are blended in the perfect harmony
of Johnnie Walker. To-day, as always, you are right to ask for Johnnie Walker by name.”
