the speech. He took ntand with modernte erities of the policy of the Foreign Se- cretary, Mr. Ernest Bovin, and made criticisms on such issues as Spain, Grecca, I'alestine and methods of recruitment in the diplomatic service.

When Professor Laski asked the conference (which had 1,170 delegates representing a voting strength of 3,289,000) to authorise the General Secre- tary to send a cable of."greet- inga and goodwill" to the new Halian republic, the delegates enthusiastically shouted "Agre- ed!"

In Singapore

(By Harris Jackson)

Singapore, June 10.

This crossroads port of South-east Asia, nine months after the Japanese surrender, is hand- ling only about 65 per cent of its prewar peak traïne and most of the volume still goes to the military.

Tonnage crossing the Singapore wharves during April was exceeded in the port's history only by the heavy military movements of 1939-41, but the public quays are only a part of the local harbour picture.

"Gates Closed, Ground Full" At Lords?

(By Vernon Morgan, Reuters Sports Editor)

London, June 10. Seats for the first cricket test between the touring Indlan team and England have nearly all gone even though the match, which begins at Lords on June 23 is more than two weeks away. This is an elequent tribute to our visitors who have proved themselves an even greater team than their most ardent supporters had hoped.
