1
THROWN AT BANK OF
ENGLAND DOOR
LONDON, April. 3 (By Air Mall) ~A life-size effigy of Mr. Montagu Norman, who was yesterday re- elected Governor of the Bank ui England, was produced at the Mansion House yesterday, when it was stated that the figure had been seen to roll down the steps of the Bank's main entrance,
a serious accident had occurred. and several people chased the taxicab, calling on the "driver" to stop...
The polleeman added that he had to force his way through a large crowd with the effigy, which was about as tail as himself, ・・
Bowden, in court. denied throw- ing the effigy from the cab. He said that he merely pushed it out into the gutter.
Det.-Insp. Reynolds said that Bowden had previous convictions for defacing the walls of the THREE MONTHS SENTENCE

Mr., W. E. J. MacDonnell, pro- secuting, said that the figure was life-size, about 5ft 10in high, fully clothed, with hat, boots, "gloves and so on, and weighed about you, On March 6 Bowden brought it to the City in a taxicab, which he hired at Gray's Inn-road: alighted near the Bank,
these occasions he was acting for some political party.
The Lord Mayor, Sir Wm. Coxen, who refused Bowden's' request to be allowed to state his views on the International situation, said the man's condue was 'Idiotle.
BRUSSELS TALKS
CONCLUDE
BRUSSELS, Apr. 18 (Reuter)— The economic relations between he Germany and Belgium have reach- ed a satisfactory conclusion ac- cording to well-informed circles.
From what afterwards occurred, continued Mr. MacDonnell, it was clear that Bowden, before leaving the vehicle, had hurled the figure across the pavement at the main entrance of the Bank of England
On the front of the effigy was pinned a
on which was paper written: "End Hitlerism, Social Credit is coming."
CHASED TAXICAB
All the major questions are sald to have been settled and the majority of the German delegates have returned to Berlin.
Canada admitted 16.994 immi- grants during 1939. compared with 17.244 in 1938. Total from Great Britain and Eire was 3,544, an Pic, Rackstraw said he heard ancrease of 4.8 per cent. over the Immigrants thud, and saw what appeared to 1938 total of 3,389. be the figure of a man rolling from Northern European countries down the Bank steps He thought increased by 654 to 1.857.

FOOD ANXIETY ®
GROUNDLESS
LONDON. April 16 Reuter)- Further indication of the Ukely effects of the invasion of Den- mark on the British food situa- tion is given by a Ministry of Food official today.
Britain has sufficient supplies 'of butter and bacon m cold- storage to remove any anxiety for the immediate future. Moreover the production overseas has well started, especially in Canada and imports from Eire and other parts of the Empire have increased.
The position in the more distant future must necessarily be affect- ed by the shipping position and it cannot be expected that it will be possible to replace, one hundred per cent supplies which have been cut off from Scandinavian coun- tries.
Nevertheless the Ministry of Food is confident there will be ample suppiles of these commodi ties arriving from overseas, which with the Home production, will be sufficient to keep the public and Services in full health and vigour.
