Paris, Mar. 18. Surprise was caused at the Paris Inter-Continental Broad-1 casting Conference to-day when it became known that the B.B.C. intends ultimately to double the power of London. Regional.
This change will make for bet ter listening on the South and East Coasts.
However, Italy's offort will put this in the ahnde, for she is re ported to be building in secret a 500-kilowatt transmitter that will swamp reception over half Europe.
VITAL DECISION
The conference has decided not to discuss political matters, thoreby ruling out any criticism of Italian broadcast propaganda methods, to- gether with suggestions for coun- ter-propaganda.
British listeners will be re- Heved to hear that In no cir- cumstances will the 80 radio experts meeting in Paris inter- fere with the Lucerne Wave- - length Plan,

New Sino-Japanese 'Incident" Brings Advice to Little Kose
Shanghai, Apr. 1.
A
An open letter to n 4-year-old Japanese school-boy in Shanghai from the editor of the American-owned Shanghai Evening Post, published as a leading editorial during a time of intense feeling between Chinese and Japanese of Shanghai, has provoked, more comment than any of the scores of weighty pronunciamentos which have been published here in half a dozen languages. The letter
rehulted from a paragraph in morning newspaper to the effect that A new "incident" had just been reported; "Kasao Kose, aged 4, of the West Japanese School on Line- chow Road," it appeared, had been "slightly thrown by a Chinese boy" with the result that "the school authorities immediately naked the Pootoo Hoad, Police Station and the Japanese Consular Police to take adequate steps to prevent the re- currence of such an incident."
Chinese
Japanese Quoting the paragraph in question, the editor of the Pont
writes!
"Dear Kasuo Kose:
"We are deeply regretful over your rough handling. Painful recollections convince us that it is no fun to be even allghtly thrown by other boys of any nationality!
"In mentioning this matter, we speak from an expert point of view, for the Americana in the office of the Shanghai Evening Post were mostly raised in small but highly international small towns of the United States. Without exception, wo each and all of us can testify to having been thrown, at about your age and for somo years thereafter, both slightly and with enthusiastic vigour, by boys from under many flags. These boys were coloured white, black, yellow, brown, red and all the other skin-lues known to the human race, and our general impression is that it hurts about as much to be thrown by a fellow-American as by a Chinese, providing both throw with the same vim and vitality: On the other hand, if an Amarican or, say, a Japanese, throws harder than a Chinese, the first hurts worst.
"Without having had the pleasure of your personal aequalitance, Kasuo, we have a notion that you didn't ask to be put into the newspapers. We rather imagine that if it were felt up to you, you'd profer to fight your own battles. We doubt very much if you want to play even minor part in provoking an international Incident.
"In short, it's our idea that perhaps you might, if left to your self, find ways and means of your own to square accounts with that Chincao boy if he really did you dirt. You are up against a preity common boy problem and we are willing to believe you are com- petent to handle it in due course if let alone and given elbow room. "Without meaning to judge your elders too harshly, Kasuo, we suspect that in this affair your supply of common sense is better than theirs. We suggest that the school authorities, the Pootoo Road Police Station, the Japanese, Consular Police, the Japanese Consulate General and the Japanese Embassy all fall back and nec if you are not perfectly compotent to look out for yourself even at the tender age of 4 years.”
HERE'S NEWEST LION (SEA) STORY
Án amazed former near Aurora, Oregon, awoke the other morning to find a new spocis of Oregon fauna "occupying his pasture two miles from nearest water. The newest convert to the back to the land movement turned out to be Sergeant Finnegan, a sea lion which had worked its way up the Columbia River, up the Wil- lamette and over Willametto Falls to a point 155 miles from the Pacific.
ENGLISHMEN "TOO

SOFT,” SAYS ACTOR
Sydney, Apr. 1. NGLISHMEN are inclined to go "soft" physically. At least, that is what a well-known Englishman has been telling Australians. He is Mr. Miles Mander, the actor, who has come to Sydney to driect a film.
"I think the average Australian |— is 25 per cent. botter developed physically than the Englishman," he said.
“This outdoor life of yours is remarkable, and when your life- anvera appear on the beaches in England next year they will create a sensation.

Approximately 20 miles is the practical limit to which the mod. ern balloon may rise, for at that altitude "It begins to be danger ous," Dr. Plecard explained.
"Increasing altitudes require a proportionately larger balloon," the scientist said. "For every add!- tional three miles, the bag must be doubled in volume.
