EMPIRE COMMERCE

CONGRESS URGES

SPEEDY ACTION

Wellington, N.Z., Oct. 25..

THE Mercantile Marine should be a bulwark of the Empire and a firm bond linking the members of the world's greatest Commonwealth of Nations" was the key- note of the Congress of British Empire Chambers of Commerce meeting at Wellington.

A resolution was passed that:

Trade facilities for foreign shipping between Empire ports should be granted only to countries giving like facilities to Empire shipping; and that

Governments of the members of the British Empire should by subsidy or otherwise give such help as would' en- able the Mercantile Marine to remain a bulwark of the Empire.

Mr. A. S. Watts (Sydney), who moved the resolution, said that he desired to apply the golden rule, "do unto others as they are already doing unto us.".

"Something must be done if Bri- tain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are to keep British shipping on the Pacific," said Sir Thomas Wil- (ord, former New Zealand Defence Minister. "Otherwise American com- ponies will be enjoying monopoly powers with no obligations to the Empire."

Another

In case of war, he added, the) position would be fraught with danger unless the United States were associated with Britain.

"GRAVE ANXIETY"

resolution was passed the "viewing with grave unx'ety" possibility of a withdrawal of British linera plying between Canada, Now Zealand, and Australia. It urged the Governments concerned to take carly action to preserve this all- British shipping link.

Mr. Emlyn Junes proposed that the question of British shipping in the Pacific should be left over pending a conference of British Empire Gov- ernments with the United States.

ROUTES

UNJUST WILLS

May be Banned

New legislation may be intro- duced at Home which will have the effect of preventing the mak- ing of unjust or frenklah wills.

One proposal is to make It Im- possible for a litraband to omil his wife and children from his will and leave all kis estate to somebody else.

The Home Office is contem- plating making it compulsory for the widow and children of a tentator to receive a fixed pro- portion of his estate, as is al. ready the law In many countries.

Legislation in also likely to be directed at freskish willa, many of which cause pain and hard- ship to the relatives of some un- kind testator.

HAUPTMANN'S WIDOW TO

MARRY AGAIN

New Fight To Establish Husband's Innocence

(By A Special Correspondent)

New York, Oct. 29.

MRS. ANNA HAUPTMANN, widow of Bruno Richard Haupt- mann, who was executed a few months ago for the murder of the Lindbergh baby, is to start new fight to establish her husband's innocence.

She will be helped by a man to whom she will soon be married.

The congress also passed a resolu tion moved by the Association of British Chambers of Commerce,

Little Manfried often asks what has happened to his father. Invari uble answer is that he has gone on a journey, will not be back for a long ilme.

Mrs. Hauptmann will tett him the true facts when he is twelve years old,

I talked to one of two men who are the only visitors to her home. His name is Mr. Julius Braun, and he speaks with a German acezat. He is tall, awarthy, wastes no time when he leaves the apartment.

10 The preference for low heels women's shoes generally continues, and medium heels are fashionable with all evening gowns, although the cut tendency is for shoes to be higher. Four, five, and six-tic shoes are popular, but the demand for the toeless type of sandal is on the wane, This year's Fair illustrates how returning prosperity is helping the shoe and leather industries. There are three miles of stands, represent- ing every phase of production, and owing to the increased number of exhibitors the main hall of the an- nexe is being used for the first time In the history of the Fair.

Mr. J. Osborne Martin, President of the Shoe and Leather Fair Soclety, speaking at a luncheon at the Fair recently, deprecated the craze for cheapness, which had developed in the leather and other industries since the War and had adversely affected quality.

Manufacturers, he sold, had been compelled to use leather of an in- ferior quality, and he thought that in future the public must be prepared to pay more for their footwear if they were going to have the same quality as before.
