Aid

To British Ships LORD ROTHERMERE'S exclusive interview with the Hongkong "Telegraph" last month was published almost verbatim in the London "Daily Mail" and excited considerable interest in the metropolis.

In his interview Lord Rothermere drew attention to the urgent need for Government aid for British trade and shipping to the Far East, and his sentiments were warmly applauded by everyone in Britain who have real knowledge of the grave dangers threatening this commerce.

In welcoming the decision of the British Government to send Mr. William Kirkpatrick, former Conservative M.P. for Preston, on a special mission to study conditions on the spot, Lord Rothermere told the "Telegraph" representative:

Inta quite sure that he will ping and trading interests concerned come to the same conclusion as in the far eastern trade. mine that unless aid on a con- siderable scale is given to Bri- tish shipping and British trade there will be no British exports to the great markets of China and Japan in five years.

Raw Milk As Source Of Epidemic

HOMESIDE SCARE

Strong criticismis of the Minis- try of Health in regard to the nation's milk supply were made by Mr. J. H. Maggs, Chairman of United Dairies, at the annual meeting in London recently,

He referred to the "deplorable, unnecessary, and easily prevent- able" milkborne epidemic which had recently raged at Bourac- mouth, and made an urgent plea for the universal pasteurisation of milk.

It was an amazing fact, he said, that the purity of the milk supply was still dependent on the voluntury action of distributors. There was no law to require the pasteurisation of milk, and should an epidemie occur, the activities of medical officials were confined to preventing the of infection. He described the

prournemouth epidemic es an

"outrage."

"The facts relating to the subject have been common knowledge for many years, but these have been met on the part of the Ministry with a tacit conspiracy of allence. Nothing can excuse the Hush Hush' polley of the industry in seeking to conceni or to minimise the gravity of the post- tion."

To this policy must be attributed the, epidemic. which had recently raged at Bournemouth, and which, Involved 500 cases of infection and some 40 deaths. In the view of the to Ministry the outbreak was due raw milk. Mr. Maggs quoted Sir Kingsley Wood's recent announce- ment in a speech at Bournemouth. thal pasteurisation immediately cut short the outbreak there.
