A War Office spokesman intimat- ed that the Japanese will withdraw to the Great Wall as soon as they are satisfied that the Chinese do not intend to renew their attacks, but will bomb, from the air any Chinese troops attempting to re- enter the neutral zone formed by the Japanese withdrawal.

The conversations will range over the current problems, with parti cular reference, to those which will arise at the World Economic Con- ference. Disarmament and War Debts also expected to be DESPITE the

Mr. Selfridge, who described himself as half a journalist, exid journalism was perhaps the most fascinating activity to which any one could devote himself. With his semi-journalistic mind he thought there was much similarity between a great business and a great news paper.
