The proposal will go before the Negotiating Committee of the CIO International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union tomorrow (Saturday) at the first meeting of that body since, the costly tie-up began on September 2.

One shipowner said he expected negotiations. would be reopened "Monday or possibly sooner."

Renders Valuable Services To The United Kingdom

(BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

London, Nov. 5. Mr Arthur Bottomley, Secretary for Overseas Trade last night in the House of Commons made an important statement concerning Far Eastern trade..........

Speaking about Hongkong, the Minister discussed Hongkong trade returns. He stated emphatically that to examine the figures at their face value "would not be correct, because Hongkong renders very valuable services, such as shipping, banking and insurance, and by that means gets an overall balance." The debate was "on the adjourn meni," initiated by Mr William member for Teeling, Conservative
