Berlin, To-day.

Young Germany in South-West Africa has sent its own reply to the decree of the Union Gov- ernment prohibiting political activities on the part of foreign organisations in the mandated territory.

"My real task, however," he add- ed, is just about to begin.”

It was a question, he said, not of preparing a conference but of gathering data for a conference.

SHANGHAI STRIKE DEL VAYO

ENDS

But Taxi-Drivers

Still Out

Shanghai, To-day. After being paralysed for five days, Shanghai's tramway system în the International Settlement re- turned to life when the strikers re- sumed work this morning.

The agreement followed when the company accepted modified demands on the part of the men.

Meanwhile the strike of drivers employed by the Ford Hire Service, the largest taxi-cab concern in the city, continues but will probably be settled to-day.

Seventy of the company's cars, which had been "kidnapped" by the strikers, have been driven back to the various depots by the strikers.
