shows that not only were a record number of enquiries. made at the Hongkong stand, but that it attracted more buyers' interest than any other part of the Commonwealth section. This is the sort of Allip our manufacturers have been needing, more especially as

At the BIF this year, however, they have succeeded in Impressing British and the other buyers with excellent quality and competitive prices of local textile manufactures, enamelware and other commodities.

ADDITIONAL SECURITY PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
Koje Island, May 19.
The new commandant of the troublesome Koje Island: prison camp predicted new disorders today as troops of the crack 187th airborne regiment mounted guard in a sudden. shift to reinforce the camp's security...
Brigadier-General Haydon Boatner, who took over the command five days ago from Brigadier-General Charles Colson, said, “With 70,000 hysterical prisoners, it is almost certain that there will be minor inci- dents. But I positively believe, hope and pray that I will be able to re- establish control without any bloodshed."
