NEW YORK

Queen Mary's Time Table

To Break Al

Records

Special Air Mail Servico)

London, November 21 Lunch in Cherbourg on Saturday; tex là New York on Wednes- day afternoon-3,100 miles in 96 hours.

That is the schedule which the Cunard-White Star Line are..." working out for the new liner Queen Mary, seventeen months in advance of her maiden, VOJAKE.

This is several hours faster than that of any liner now afloat. To maintain this time-table, the Queen Mary will steam at an average of 321 knots-four miles an hour faster than the average for the fastest Atlantic crossing ever made

The record for the Atlantic erase: ing is held by the Italian liner Rex In August, 1933. It covered the 3.181 miles from Gibraltar to New York m 4 days 13 hours, an average 28.92 knots. Recently the North German Lloyd liner Bremen did the voyage from Cherbourg to New York in 4 days 15 hours

To make up for delay due to fog or bad weather the Queen Mary Will sometimes have to travel at a considerably higher speed than 324 knots.

Actually the reserve of power in the propelling machinery is great enough to drive the ship at 34 to 35 knots. Thanks to her enormous size and the pecullar lines of her hull she should be able to carry on at very great speed in weather that would slow down a smaller and less powerful ship.

"

12 Hours" "Tum-Round " An elaborate timetable of the ship's movements is already being worked out. It is based on a "turn round" of only twelve hours-that is to say, she will arrive in port, disembark passengers, re-store, re- fuel, embark passengers, and sail again, all within twelve hours.

Her fuel-oll equipment is such that the multiple tanks, "containing in all 6,300 tons, can be refiled un eight hours.

In the House of Commons' early. this month Mr. Runciman sinoun- ced the terris for a new Anglo- German trade agreement which the British delegation had been able to bring back from Berlin:

Mr. Runciman warned British ex- porters to continue to be careful, but he claimed that the terms ob- rained were much better than any thing which seemed likely up to the eleventh hour. He disclosed. Indeed, that nothing more than an agreement for a clearing House had seemed possible for a long time, and that an up-to-date model of such a scheme had actually, been initialled by the British and Ger- man representatives. That scheme remained in reserve, and would be applied if the scheme actually adopted broke down,
