Matsuoka Makes A Suggestion

U. S. Visit To Japan

TOKYO, May 4 (Reuter)-Dis- carding suggestions that he should go to the United States, Mr Yoruke Matsuoka, the Japanese Foreign Minister, in an interview at Kyoto, asserted that would be far more appropriate for President Roosevelt or Mr Cordell Hull to come to Tokyo to learn about the conditions existing in the Orient.

"I studied

in America; I know Americans and I can grasp the real situation now existing in the United States: but I doubt whether President Roosevelt or Mr Hull can grasp the

true situation in the Far East.

I believe that Japanese-American problems could be more entally solve by President. Roosevelt or Mr Hull visiting Japan thon by my going to the United States," he said,

Hongkong's Big Part In Supplying Empire Ships

Hongkong's two big shipbuilding yards are working hand in hand with other shipbuilders in the Empire to supply cargo vessels for the merchant fleet.

Both the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co., Ltd and the Taikoo Dockyard 'are building handy cargo carriers up to 5,000 tons. The former last year built not only the hull of a fast modern cargo boat, but also her main propelling engines, the largest marine power unit which has come out of this part of the world.

India, ancient builder of ships, is preparing to launch vessels equal to the best of the West.

Although South Africa has no real shipbuilding industry, Durban's well- equipped repairing yard and dry dock are most valuable to-day when shipping goes round, the Cape instead) of through. Suez.
