tlon Co., said he had never known trade to be so bad as in the past few months.

Disturbances in India, con- ditions in Australia, the civil war in China and the severe fall in the sterling value of the dollar and teel, had seriously affected shipping.

A total of 368 British ships, of a tonnage of 885,000, were laid up on October 1. Prospects for shipping were far from bright.

The Company's ships for the past year had run three quarters of a million miles less than in 1929, Cargo had fallen by a

Japanese Prince Among Those Driven Out,

Frankfort-on-Main, Oct. 20. Prince Takamatsu, brother of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, and his consort were driven from the opera house here last night by stink bombs thrown by Fascists.

The Fascists yelled, whistled, chanted and released the bombs amid tumult and shouts of "Long Eve Hitler" and "Germany awake."
