JAPAN'S COAL CONSUMPTION

Likely To Reach A Record

Tokyo.

Coal consumption in Japan this year may reach a record figure. The Shown. Coal Company, a co-operative sales or- ganisation, estimates it at 33,900,000 tons. The highest on record is 33,300,000 tons for 1929.

During the first half of the year, the Company announces, 13,500,000 tong were marketed, but as the demand amounted to 15,900,000 tons, there was a shortage of 400,000 tony. This shortage was made good with the stock (1,550,000 tons) brought over from last year. During the second. Col. Macpherson said it took sev-half of the year, the demand is eral hours to land a tunny." "The likely to reach 18,000,000 tops, while first thing we have to do is to get thanks to the repeated alleviation of out in a boat with our machinery the marketing restriction, the "supply to where the tunny are.

Since his talk at Rotary club, L.-Col. Macpherson "had done quite a lot of big game fish- lag near here and he says that he lost two big fellows, through the tackle breaking. The first one was off Tan Kam Island while the second happened just outside Lyeemun.

So far as the formation of Big Game Fishing Club is 'con- cerned. LL.-Col. Macpherson sald things were now being looked in- to and it was hoped that by the beginning of the next season in May 1934, a Club would have been formed.
