G.. B. GIFFORD HULL MAY BE ADVISER

TO CANTON'S GOVERNMENT

The Telegraph is informed that a proposal is on foot to invito Mr. G. B. Gifford Hull to serve the South China Admin- istration by advising with a view to the formulation of general rehabilitation pro- gramme of development.

This is part of the movement towards closer Sino-British con- tacts in South China.

Mr. Gifford Hull's qualifica- tions, demonstrated in connec tion with the Shing Mun project, and in his work for the Govern- ment in Malaya, together with the fact that he is Managing Director of Marsmans (Hong- loong and South China), Ltd., are considered in Canton to eminently fit him for the ad- visory duties which, it is sug- gested, he should undertake for

the Government there.

At War With Government

40-HOUR WEEK LAWS ARE

IGNORED BY COMPANIES

Washington, Feb. 4.

A dispute between the United States Government and big industrialists, which amounts to a boycott of the Government's contracts, is revealed to-day. The clash threatens to hold up the current naval building programme..

Manufacturers of steel and copper are allegedly withholding the necessary supplies of these metals from the Navy Department as a protest against the Walsh- Healey Law, which stipulates a 40-hour week and certain other labour requirements for all firms tendering on Government contracts.

With the steel manufacturing industry booming, the 48-hour a week working corporations decline to cut their hours to 40 merely to fill Government orders, which are relatively small compared with private orders.

In answer to advertised bids for! 2,735,000 lb. of copper, the Navy De- partment has received bids for only) 1,035.000 lb., of which it has accepted 085,000 lb., as the remainder of bidders had not complied with the Walsh-Healey Law.

Of the 25,000,000 16, of steel ad- verilaod for tender by the Navy since December 4, 1936, only 7,000,000 16. have been bld on, and the entire amount was rofused by the Depart-

IN EVOLUTION KINGS ACT AS EMISSARIES

(Special to "Telegraph") -

Brussels, Feb. 4. The movement for closer trade 'co- operation between the Scandinavian countries, Belgium and Holland, has received impetus through the visit, just concluded, of King Gustav of Sweden and his Foreign Minister, Dr. Richard Sandier, to the Belgian capital.

Both King Gustav and King Leo- pold of tre Belglans, took occasion to express the resolve of their countries to adhere also to the Oslo Conven- tion, and the Interest evinced by business circles was heightened by to-day's announcement, after talks between Dr. Sandler and the Dutch Foreign Minister, Jhr. A.C.D. de Graeff, that the latter had accepted the Swedish Invitation to visit Stockholm in April.
