AUSTRALIA'S TRADE DELEGATION
Sydney.
The Federal Cabinet decided to-day on the composition of the Australian delegation to visit London for talks with the British Government on the revision of the Ottawa agreciments,
Its members will be Dr. Earle Page, Minister for Commerce, Mr. R. G. Menzies,
Attorney-General
and Minister for Industry, and Mr. T. W. White, Minister for Trade and Cus- toms. They will leave for London at
the end of March.
Omleinis attached to the delegation will leave before this for Washington to initiate preliminary discussions on trade agreement with the United States.
It is understood that the members of the delegation going to London favour modification of the present provision that the Tariff Board is the spic arbiter of protective duties,
The church council had a longi general discussion Inst night on "pen friendships" between English girls and negroes, a subject which has raised protests throughout the Transvaal recently.
Chew was warned by the Rev. Lewis Jones not to write to Miss Кетр again, and the minister wrote to Miss Kemp asking her to end the correspondence owing to the feeling aroused,
Miss Kemp has stated that she sent Chew a photograph and fellera to after a clergyman told her in Sunday school that the negro had asked for an English pen friend.
The decision of the council last night was forced by the attitude of churchgoers in Messina, many of whom had refused to attend services again until the matter was settled.
Press cuttings telling the extent of protests ruised in the Transvaal about "pen friendships with negroes have [been sent to the Church authorities
in England.

UNEXPECTEDLY released after spending nine months in a Soviet prison on vague charges of espionage, Miss Eva Linden (Mrs. Eva Loewenberg), the London variety artist, who was arrested in Leningrad last April, has arrived here and is sailing for England.
"During my imprisonment I was interrogated count- less times by Ogpu officials, sometimes in the daytime and sometimes during the night," she told me when I visited her here, says a correspondent.
"I told them again and again that I knew nothing of the ab- surd charges made against me; that I had simply been touring Russia with my sister, with whom I do an act, and that I had no connection with political matters,
"My arrest was carried out with- out the slightest real reason and was probably due only to the fact that my ex-husband, Reinhard Loewen- berg, was a suspected counter-re
volutionary.
"I have no hlez where he is ai present, though I have heard that he was also arrested.
