ITALY SLACKENS SCRAPPING

Ship scrapping in Italy has blackened. The scrapping of ob- selete ships in Italy has slackened due, among other causes, to the following: (1) the least efficient Italian vessel amounting to a total of about 800,000 tons have already been scrapped, (2) the increase in the prices of vessels for scrapping on the international market, in consequence of the institution of navigation premiums abroad, (3) and the low price reached for scrap because of Icreign competition

INCREASED REPAIR FACILITIES Increasing their facilities for the repair of vessels at Baltimore, the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corpora- tion has installed a new. 8,000-ton floating, drydock, which replaces one of the wet basins in the upper yard of the Key Highway plant. With the new plece of equipment the Bethlehem plant is how cap able of drydocking three vessels simultaneously. Previously operation were a 8.000-ton oating dock and 10,000-ton graving dock.

RED PUSH IN HONAN

Precautions Taken

Kaliens, Nov. 11. General Lin Chih, Chairman of the Honan Provincial Government who had gone to Felping to visit General Chiang Kai Shek, return- ed to the city on November 10, when

all high officials greeted him at the railway station. He said that he

had undergone an öperation on one of his legs while he was in Pelping, and he had not yet recovered." He gave a detailed report on the poll tical and military conditions in the province to the Honan Natives Association when he was welcomed by that association in Peiping.

Several representatives of the Shantung. Provincial Government arrived here on November 9 to in- vestigate the Joint administration of various bureaux here. The Shantung Provincial Government may adopt the same system, it the investigators report, favourably.

Communists in South Hoпan

south

The 25th Red Army who had gone to Anhwei several months ago have recently penetrated Inlo Horan to create disturbances again. The 47th division, the 54th division, and the 11th Route Army are pur- suing them in order to suppress them. A large group of Com- munist bandits are also reported to have come into south Honar from Hupeh. Several hsiens or districts of south Honan have telegraphed the local military authorities to despatch troops there,

The 118th Brigade, formerly Gen. Sun Tien Ying's army which has so far stayed at Hsuchang in cen- tral Honan, has been ordered to move towards Klangsi to suppress the Communists. The 61st Division which has been stationed at Hsun- teh in southern Chihli has been ordered to move to Chengchow and Isuchang. It may be interesting to mention here that nearly all the so-called "various coloured army" has been ordered to move away from Honan ́to Klangsi to suppress the Reds.

During the last several months, a.

largely quantity of Japanese goods has been seized by the local Anti- Japanese Association. According to a resolution adopted by this asso- clation, these goods are to be sold, and the funds used to relieve the starving.
