HULL MAY BE BLOWN UP FOR SCRAP
SEA-BED BROADCAST PLAN Salvage operations in the former Cunard liner. Lusitania, which was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine in 1915, with a loss of 1,198 lives, are expected to begin next April.
It is planned to break the ship up under water by explosives and sell the metal as scrap, and probably, it is stated, for the manufacture of armaments.
On May 7, the 22nd anniversary of the catastrophe, Captain John D. Craig, the under-water photographer, hopes to broadcast from the Lusitania's deck, and a film record is to be made of the salvage operation.
EARLIER DIFFICULTIES
Two obstades have hitherto prevented the salvaging of the Lusitania, which, in addition to its value as scrap metal, is believed to contain valuable jewellery. The first was ignorance of the position of the hull, the second the lack of suitable diving equip
ment.

Berlin, Feb. 24..
NAZI Germany during the
past three and a half years has spent £45,000,000 to increase the birth-rate by means of marriage loans and baby bonuses:
As 14 result the birth-rate has jumped from 14.7 per 1,000 in 1933 io 10.9 at the beginning of 1936.
Seven hundred thousand engaged couples, áccording to statistics
pub- #shed to-day, took advantage of these marriage loans of £50 each, repay- able in instalments extending over eight years, and married.
In addition to the marriage loans £10,000,000 has been spent na baby bonuses for Orst and second, babies.
But a rise of four per thousand In the birth-rate is not enough for Itider. A drive is being introduced to make familles have even more children,
Nazi organ Angriff has started a competition for the best reason why a family should have more than twa children.
Members of the Rich-in-Family League, all of whom must have four ur more living children, go from houar to house asking
married women with only one or two children, "Why not have more?"
