Sir Eric urged individual firms not merely to press the Gov- erament to take every step to encourage Empire Trade in accordance with the suggestions made at the Economic Conference, but to seize opportunities extraordinary position with the circle of high ex- to secure export trade. He drew attention to the change countries and the circle of low exchange.

The Belgians remained neutral.

At Muenchen-Gladbach, 16 miles west of Duesseldorf, the crowd stormed the Town Hall and expelled the Separatists. The latter took refuge in a restaurant, firing on the crowd and wounding several. Thereupon the police disarmed the Separatists, who disappeared. Here also, the Belgians remained neutral,

MR. ZORN HOPEFUL

LONDON, October 23. Mr. Zoru, speaking here at the meeting of the Rubber Shareholders Association today, said the most striking feature of the whole position was the manner in which the price of rubber had steadied.

wisdom of keeping our eyes fixed on American exchange, while ignoring the large volume of trade of low exchange countries.
