SISTER SHIP FOR THE

EMP. OF BRITAIN?

THE HONGKONG: TELEGRAPH. THURSDAY,

CANADIAN PACIFIC PLANS THERE is every prospect that one of the new Canadian Pacific liners to be constructed for the Pacific service from Vancouver to Hongkong and Manila will be a sister ship to the giant Empress of Britain, due here on March 20 on her fifth annual round the world cruise.

According to a reliable London source, Canadian Pacific Steamships Ltd. will place an order on the Clyde within the next few months for a 42,500 ton luxury liner-identical in every detail with the Empress of Britain.

The order will probably go to John Brown and Co. Ltd. It will mean three years work for at least five thousand men who would otherwise be unemployed following the completion of the Queen Mary,

Canadian Pacific Ltd, are considering the construction, of two other linera, it is revealed.

Although no definite pronouncement has been made by the Company, it is understood that the Empress of Asia and Empress of Russia, the two oldest Canadian Pacific vessels on the Far Eastern service, will be withdrawn when the new vessels are .completed.

Due to unsettled conditions in the Mediterranean, the annual Itinerary of the Empress of Britain was altered this year. She omitted all Mediterranean ports, travelling from the Atlantic to the Indian and Pacific Oceans by way of the Cape. From Hongkong she will -proceed on March 25 to Shanghai, Chinwangtao, Beppu, Kobe, Yok hama, Honolulu, Hilo, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Balboa, Christobal and Ilavana back to New York, arriving there on May 18.

Mr. James Casacle, K.C, prosecut ing, detailed the prisoner's activities in England. He said the police had found compromising documents and maps in his bungalow, which he had rented at Broadstairs. They also found a letter of application for em ployment in the intelligence service of the German Air Ministry,

The prosecution made it clear that the woman, Marianne Emig, whom Goertz employed, was not actually concerned in this cano.

When arrested, said the prosecu- tlon, Goertz claimed he was writing a novel and collecting information for a popular essay about the British Air Force. He maintained every- thing he had done had been quite open and that he was not looking for secrets.
