And Take Notice

FROM H. KING WOOD

Sydney, June 23.

Japan spoke fairly strongly on trade last week and the Federal Government. sat up and took considerable notice.

Japan, through a diplomatic note, has warned Australia that she almost certainly will have to cut purchases of wool drastically unless sho can earn more sterling.

This, of course, is a pretty broad hint that she wants more trade with Australia. It has disturbed the Government because a cut in Japan- ese buying would weaken the wool market and cut down our export earnings.

The throat is regarded so seriously that this fact alone could be respon sible for the easing of import restrictions, which would be one way that Japan could earn more storling.

The Japanese Embassy in Canberra gave brief details of the diplomatic note. In it Japan told Australia that she is in a

It was not only in England that the Coronation was celebrated festivities memorating this historie event were very far-reaching. In Singapore, for instance, a very elaborate decorative scheme was devised, the highlight of which was a monster Illuminated sea dragon. This dragen was 500 feet long, with a bold 40 ft, high, containing 3,000 colour- ed light bulbs. It was built on six lighters, manned by 50 men and assisted by three tugs.
