The Equity's, rule provides that an alien player may enjoy the privi. leges of an American resident-mem- ber only after performing one hun- dred weeks on the American stage. If the player has not one hundred weeks to his credit, then he must remain idle for six months between. one contract, and another.

Miss Taylor said: "Mr. Sinclair and I were married here last Janu ary. I played for 30 wicks in one productice, after which I returned to England to allow the six months period to clapse.

I have been offered the leading role in another play, which may not Inst more than five weeks, and after that I shall have to return to Eng. land for another six months to avoid complete idleness,

Senator Borah said to-day that as if we were facing a future of in-

definite separation,” attacks on the Soviet now are de signed to interfere with American trade with Russia just at a time when America needs foreign mar kets.

"

"The Russian trade is there, said Senator Borah. Somebody is bound to obtain it. Therefore; attacks by America on the Soviet will merely turn the valuable Rus sian trade into other channels. We must realize that our only hope for market extension lies in Russia and China,

The latest Shipbuilding statistics show 90% for Motor-ships against | diplomatie recognition of the Mos 10% for steamships.

The Company will be in a position to take full advantage of all the latest epoch-making inventions in shipbuilding and avoid having nny part of its capital tied up in obsolete equipments.

This means that a Motor Shipbuilding Yard with Repairing Works for all types of Motors will not only have now-buildings to com- plete but will have repair work on hund on an increased scale.

A Yard specialising in Motors requires less machinery and equip- ment than an ordinary shipyard, thus eliminating heavy and expensive plants for the building of boilers and other steam auxiliaries. What is essential in a Motor Shipbuilding Yard is a well-equipped Repair Shop for Diesel Engines and Motors for land and sea and up-to-datô facilities for docking shipa

The Company has entered into an Agreement with the lich Kong Government to acquire a most suitable space known as Kowloon Marine Lot No. 00 st To Kwa Wan, Kowloon Bay, with a total area of 222,000 sq. ft. with all buildings, ote. This area until recently was occupied for inore than 23 years by the Kwong Tack Cheong Shipyard, “Ltd., which has built more than 150 ships.

The purchase price is $295,000 of which 850.000 has been paid. It was surveyed in 1920 and valued by Messrs. Denison, Ram & Gibbs at $30,000 and resurveyed and revalued by Meners, Palmer & Turner in July, 1930, at 8345,000. This is the value of the land when used for ordinary purposes, but as a Marine Lot already reclaimed and consolidated. at considerable exponse, its value should be fixed at a much higher price.

The buildings have been repaired, two new steel workshops have been erected and machinery, tools, etc., which have been purchased have arrived from Europe, The shipyard will soon be again fully equipped and in working order. Four building berths for ships up to 350 feet length aro at our disposal, and it is proposed to build 4 most, up-to-date slipways for ships up to 300 feet in length.

The shipyard and repairing works are under the management

of an experienced Motor-shipbuilding, Diesel-Engine, and Motor-Engineer who has been in Hong Kong since the last 10 years.
