Washington, Feb. 15. America's defence experts be- lieve that the United States must have a navy adequate to protect both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, stated President Roosevelt at to-day's Press Con- forence.

The President Bald that experts were of the opinion that the country could not rely on the concentration of naval defence on one coast, since there was always the possibility of on attack from both the east and the west.

The policy of secrecy concerning the progress of construction of United States warships already laid down was found to-day to have been put into effect. The US.

Dealing with the administration of the Customs, Lord Plymouth asserted the Government was closest consultation with France and United States. No remittances had yet been made by the Yokohama Specle Bank to Shanghal to meet the services on loans and he understood that no remittance was likely to be made until the position in Shanghai had been cleared up.

The resignation was caused by the refusal of the Governor to allow the release, at Congressional request, of political prisoners.

The issue may precipitate a long- threatened split between the right and left wings of Congress. It is anticipated here Governor will meet the situation by a Proclamation under Section 93 of the Government of India Act, which permits them to take over the administration of the provinces, them- selves.-Reuter.

No Subsidy For Italian Merchant Ships

Capetown, Feb. 15. -The-Union-Government has decided not to renew the agreement granting subsidy to Italian shipping lines. This was disclosed by the Minister of Commerce in a reply to questions in the House of Representatives to-day. He said, that the agreement had improved trade between South Africa and the East and West coasts of Africa with Mediterranean ports, but the Union Government had now decided that all shipping companies should be allowed to tender for the service.

The agreement with the Italian shipping lines, which began in March, 1033 and was for a five-year period, provided for n Government grant of £130,000 sterling per annum to two Italian shipping companies-Reuter.

Secret Of Woolworth's

Millions

"Straightforward Marketing"

The announcement of Woolworth's ever mounting proft-last year it was nearly £6,000,000-has caused

the usual bewildered wondering, says the News Chronicle,

Year by year the company's report shows more progress. In 1937 thirty- four more of the now familiar red- tranted stores were onened, making a total of 711 branches, employing nearly 40,000 people.

It seems difcult to believe that an organisation so vast, with a capital of £12,500,000, has grown from a single store opened at Liverpool in 1909.

How la.it done in stores where no- thing costs more than sixpence?

Asked this queslan, Mr. W. L Stephenson, chairman of the British company and the "brain" behind it, replied:

.

"I'm much more interested In how it is rolug to be done next year. There is nothing tricky about it; it is simply straightforward mar- keting,"
