Ttion, Mr. C. R. Altice and

nis labour colleagues have Biarted on their tour which is destined to take them to Morcow, Peklng. Hongkong, Japan, Singapore, Rangoo and Austraila before they return to London in Septem- ber. Essentially the mission is one of goodwill combined with personal observation in these various eitles. It has been said that Messrs Attlee and Co.. will learn tile in: Peking and Moscow-or only that which the Communist ! authorities want them to know. As shrewd politicians, however, they will not allow themselves to be beguiled by the Red party line and will obviously get to know much more of the workings of the two Communist states than If they had stayed In London.

Bombay, Aug. 9.

India and Portugal sent off new notes today in a hot dispute flaring toward a flery showdown this week in the tiny Portuguese province of Goa on India's Western coast.

Tempers ran high and bloodshed threatened. A leader of the forces favouring union of Goa with India vowed anew today that on next Sunday, India's Independence Day, they would march into Goa "in a peaceful, non-violent manner," bent on "liberation.'

In Lisbon, the Portuguese Foreign Minister, Paulo Cunha, declared again that Portuguese forces in Goa stood "ready to defend" the territory if the forces in Indian territory tried to enter it.
