THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, AUGUST

SOME THRILLS ON THE R.100.

DANGEROUS WORK ON THE TAIL FIN.

Montreal, Aug. 2. The officers of the R100 relate a thrilling incident towards the end of the fight, when the fabric trouble was discovered.

Two members of the crew crawl- ed out on to the damaged fin and worked for hours with the aid of a flashlight. While the airship engines were stopped the R.100 drifted through a thunderstorm and heavy rain.

To-day the airship's crew is at liberty, while the dirigible is being re-fuelled, repaired and repainted. -Reuter's American Service.

Extent of the Damage.

London, Aug. 2. The airship R100 which is now swinging at the mooring mast at Montreal, underwent an examina- tion yesterday and the Air Ministry states it revealed no structural de- fect or failure. There is a strip- ping of the fabric over a fairly extensive area on the underside of the horizontal fin. Materials for repair are on hand. It is proba- ble that no extensive flights will be undertaken in Canada.

In any case, the fight over Ot tawa; scheduled for August 5, must be postponed,

The officers and crew of the air- ship are being officially welcomed at Montreal to-day. They have ceived scores of telegrams and messages of congratulation.

LABOUR'S PLANS.

PROTECTION FOR THE

PUBLIC.

London, Aug. 2.

An explanatory memorandum states that the Agricultural Mar keting Bill published to-day pro- poses to allow the producers of an agricultural product to which the measure applies to regulate the marketing of that product by means of Boards elevated by themselves and in accordance with schemes submitted by themselves.

It is proposed that such regula- tion should be confined to a product produced in an area to which the scheme scheme is applicable and will be binding on all producers of the regulated product in that area. The interests of the public and of individual producers are to be pro- tected by requiring firstly Minis ter's approval of the scheme and also Parliamentary sanction. Pro- vision is made for producers to be protected by resort, if necessary, to arbitration and the Consumers' for Committee to be established every scheme will farther guard the interests of the general public. Complaints against the schemes will be referred to a Committee of In- vestigation.-British Wirelcsa.

Washington, Aug. 2.

It is understood that the British, Norwegian and Danish Govern- ments are preparing a protest against the decision of the United States to place an embargo on the importation of Russian pulpwood. Last week the authorities refused the entry of two ships carrying the products of convict labour, marking the first direct breach of trade relations between the United States and Soviet Russia.

It was subsequently announced that the embargo had been modi- fied and that cargoes of plywood which had already arrived in the United States or were en route from Archangel would be admit ted. Seventy-nine vessels are af fected.-Reuter's American Service.
