The proposal, sponsored

ence.

Several delegations, including the United States, favour- ex- ·

the It is not expected that Conference will sign any form- al document, either: on this or other subjects, as economic and commercial problems.

Meanwhile, the Argentine and Mexican, delegations are draft- ing a resolution offering Pan- the American mediation in Spanish Civil War.-Reuter.

DEATH OF MR. J. HOWELL

It is with deep regret that we have to record the death of Mr. J. Howell, 3rd. engineer of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Company, which took place at Queen Mary Hospital last night.

Mr. Howell is a very old resident of the Colony and was educated at the Diocesan Boys' School. He had been ailing for some time and had been an inmate of Queen Mary Hospital for some weeks.. News of his sudden death, nevertheless, will come as a shock to his many friends.

Mr. Howell was married to the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lawrence, of Kowloon Dock, and, in addition to his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Patricia, aged three, a brother and sister and other relatives, among whom is Mr. Wilfred Lawrence, the local swimming champion.

Mr. Howell's last ship was the s.s. Kutsang.
