Palace Scrap

BEATEN BY BRITISH FIRM: NO EXPORT

Crystal Palace trustees have accepted. the tender of a British firm, which was in competition with German and other Con tinental firms, for the purchase of the scrap left after the fire.

Twenty-five. tenders were submitted to the trustees, who last month decided to accept the: tender of Messrs, T. W. Ward, Ltd., iron and steel merchants, of Fenchurch Street, E.C.

"The contractors will also be responsible for clearing the site. after all the valuable material' has been removed," Sir Henry Buckland, general manager of the Palaco said.

"If 15,000 tons of iron are recovered we shall realise between £40,000 and £50,000."

A voluntary clause in Messrs. Ward's tender promises not to export any of the debris.

An official of Messrs. Ward told a News Chronicle representative.

"We made this voluntary offer to keep the scrap in this country, because there is a shortage.

"The debris is made up of scrap iron and steel and cast iron-90 per cent. of it is cast iron.

12 MONTHS' WORK

"There is a shortage of plg iron at present. This. is due to the world shortage of raw materials.

"It will take us 12 months to move the scrap, and we shall employ 100 men on, the job."

The accepted figure has not been disclosed. There is no railway siding in the Palace grounds, so in the first place the scrap will be moved by road.

Increasing Economic Co-operation

Imperial Conference May Discuss Question

London, Apr. 8. The Prime Minister's attention was drown in the House of Commons to- day to a speech of the United States Secretary of State urging the need for increased economic co-operation between the nations of the world, and he was asked if he would consider extending the scope of the agenda of the forthcoming Imperial Conference to include the question.

Mr. Stanley Baldwin replied: "The scope of the agenda, as already an- nounced, is, I think, sufficiently wide to admit of a general discussion of this question, if representatives at. the conference so desire,"

PROPOSAL

Racehorses at Newmarket may be provided with gas marks that is, if a satisfactory mask can be invented. So far, ex- perts have failed to produce one, and express differing views of its practicability...

In view of the greater danger from modern polson gas bomba, a com- mittee has been appointed to consider means of defence at Newmarket, in- cluding gas masics for the horses, and volunteers are being enrolled to attend instructional classes.
