It was explained that, owing to the absence of refrigerators in "V" and "W" class destroyers, it was frequently, impossible for the can- teen managers, even with the help of ice-chesta, to maintain supplies of perishable goods to the messes while the vessels were at sea, and that the committee could not ac- cept responsibility for such goods as might be ordered by messes in ex cess of the quantities that could be kept in good condition until con-. sumed.

LUXURIOUS JAPAN

Higher Standard Of Living

מס

At the International Labour Conference

Thursday last week, Mr. Hayday, the British workers, delegate, appealed to the low-wage countries to raise their standards of life and not be the instrument used by vested interests to reduce the higher standards down to the level of the lowest. According to the Geneva correspondent of the "Manchester Guardian. Mr. A. Sano Japanese employers' dele- gate, contributing to the same discussion, said that the standard of living in Japan had risen by leaps and bounds; and was con- tinuing to advance with almost unbelievable, rapidity.

Kemsene lamps were almost unknown, and there was not a mountain hamlet where electric light was not in common use, In the cinemas the latest pictures from Europe and the United States were shown to

great masses "of the people. Im

the shops of Tokio were displayed the latest fashions of Paris, London. and New York, and they would have no difficulty in buying the best French champagne at prices even more reasonable than in Paris. The beat of fruits, veget-. ables, Ash, and meat were within the reach of the common people. Those who were obsessed with the bogey of Japanese competition could now dismiss the fear of the low standard of living in Japan.

The Quick Retort Mrs. Newrich had social ambi- tions, and considered it would be helpful if the great volinist were to dine at her house. Having asked him to do so, she added, as an at- terhaught: "And please bring your. viglin with you.”
