NOISE OF TRAFFIC

Chamber Of Commerce Urges Action

Reference to traffic noises is made in the annual report of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, which says that during the past year the attention of both the Commissioner of Police and the Hongkong Automobile Association had been drawn to the subject.

The Commissioner of Police stated; that special attention had been given to the qucation and that prosecutions had been undertaken whenever the

ས་ས་ circumstances warranted. The view of the Automobile Association was that the imposition of a "silent zone" would be fraught with too mucli don- Her unless legislation were introduced whereby pedestrians were afforded

the means of crossing the roads in safety at regular intervals,

The report states;

Yesterday the Princess Royal launched the silver-grey hull of the Prince of Wales, second battleship built for the Royal Navy under the new programine.

When it was given out not so long ago in a semi-official Gennan naval handbook that sho would mount her guns in groups of tour, and other details, there was a hubbub in the House af Commons.

Members wanted to know why the Germana could print "secrets" when information was kept from the people of this country.

Ax usuni, there was not much information voting from the Admiralty, for the gentlemen there, no doubt rightly, are never eloquent. A very silent Service,"

WELL, what do we know about this new W

glont of the seas? The one certain thing you can say about her is that she is of 35,000 tons, and when you have said that you must rely for further information on the speculation of naval experts.

Now as for her guns. Probably she will have ten or twelve 141n, guns arranged in groups of four. Don't listen to the foolish who want to know why she hasn't got 16in. guns. Size is not the essence of strength.

Sho will carry Gin, guns, too.

What excites the naval man is the nature of the new baiticship's anti-aircraft weapons, and they are the big secret.

The Prince of Wales is well protected by a recently discovered armour-plating, able to resist, it I argued, the new type of shell which travels a mile after penetrating normal armour-plating. That's the sort of shell, weighing 1,000lb., the battleship herself will fire.

Hidden away in the mass of steel that makes her are hungars for 'planes to be catapulted from her decks för directing gunfire.

Then the guess is that the Prince of Wales is designed for trimming down when she is going Into” action—which means flooding the water ballast tanks to sink the ship deeper for the protec tion of her sides, and to show a smaller target to the enemy.

Most vital secret of the Prince of Wales will be her speed. You may take it she is likely to be capable of considerably more than the 30 knots offelally given out as her maximum.

The world knows what every country is doing, except Japan. From there come rumours of new fortifications, bigger-than-ever capital ships.

Look there for the big question mark in the world's navel activity.
