"Queen's Messengers" Are Food War Brings Economic
Convoys For Blitz Sufferers
The Queen recently inspected in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace the first two convoys of a fleet of vehicles which will take provisions to bombed areas. Eight vehicles of these "flying squnds" which she inspected were her personal gift, and the other ten were given by the British War Relief Society of America.
The Queen acceded to the sug- gestion of Lord. Woolton, Minis- ter of Food, that the convoys should be called "The Queen's. Messengers."
"It is a great pleasure to me to inaugurate the mission of good will which this service of food convoys represents," her Majesty said. "They will serve. I trust, as a symbol of tha fellowship which unites all of us who share A common danger to-day.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Italian housewives return empty tin cans much like other nationals leave empty bottles for the milkman; Japanese shipbuilders have abandoned steel in favour of wood; new auto tyres are disappearing in Europe. These and other commercial and industrial quirks were reported recently by the Commerce Department as evidence of economic changes
