Vory soon, he says, it will be Impossible to turn out a "master- plece there because of this 'vogue de pudeur."

A film whore a woman leaves her husband, even though he be a ban- dit, will be banned in futuro.

The Hollywood producers will be obliged to go back ten years to the time when model young girls lived for their

Sir Robert Kindersley's annual survey of British Overseas Invest- ments ́has recently been pubilahed in the current issue of the "Econo- mic Journal," The total income from overseas Investments In 1933 is estimated at £164.9 millions, as compared with £156.4 millions in 1932. In 1920 It WAB $230.D millions. The exhaustive analysis In this survey tends to prove, however, that the depresalon was definitely checked in 1932, and the prospects of a greater income in 1934 are favourable.

In spite of Increasing trade restrictions, the decline in world trade has been partially checked. currency greater degree of stability has been attained, and n substantial rise has occurred In the prices of important primary com- modities produced by British com- panies abroad.
