Silver Issue
London, Feb. 25.
spectat commentary issued by the Foreign Office declares there is no truth in the recent Domet report from London, published in the Far East to the effect that "it is rellably understood" that Lord Halifax in- dicated to the Japanese Ambassador on February 20 that the British Gov- ernment regard the silver question ns virtually settled, and intimated that General Chiang Kai-shek has assented to a plan for the transferring of the silver to a neutral
The same report attributes to Lord Halifax the further statement that Britain is prepared to alleviate the restrictions on exports to Japan of such commodities as Australian wool and other Empire products so long as the British war alms are not ham- pered and
other neutrals are not enabled to demand similar treatment. The Foreign Offlce, state that this also is entirely untrue.-Reuter,

AFTER TRYING FOR NEARLY TEN MONTHS, THE IMPERIAL AIRWAYS FLYING-BOAT CORSAIR, WHICH MADE A FORCED LANDING ON A RIVER IN THE BELGIAN CONGO, IS NOW IN THE AIR AGAIN AND ON HER WAY HOME TO ENGLAND.
But before men could get her off, they had to:
Build a village;
*
Hack a road through 2,000 yards of bush; Construct two dams; and
Blast rocks from the river bed.
Last March Corsair, homeward bound from Durban to Southampton, got off her course and had to alight on the River Dangu, 150 miles south-west of Juba. She was badly holed, but there were no casualties and all mail, freight, and baggage were
salved.

A second dam was bulit, and more rocks were blasted.
Omelals of the Government in the Belgian Congo and of a gold mining company co-operated in the work, and the village which rose within sight of Corsair was necessary to house the workers,
Corsair is being plloted home by Captain J. C. Kelly Rogers, who left England a month ago.
He was in command of the flying- boat Caribou during her inaugural flight for the British North Atlantic "All" Mail service to Botwood;~Mon- treal, and New York last August. Corsair cost more than £10,000,
