Although the Japanese soldlers were Division increasing mumerically and guns con- tinued to roar, reports of peace efforts were said to be coming with greater strength from Japanese circles.

Britain Show Increase Report Shows $1,889,000 Gain For January This Year Ottawa.--An increase of $1,889,000 in domestic exports to the United Kingdom was the outstanding feature of Canadian trade in January. That export increased from $7,982,000 in January, 1931, to-$9,871,000 in Janu- ary, 1932, according to the summary issued by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics. Lowered valuations of goods generally in the 12 months indicate a still greater increase in the export of quantities. At the same time the export to the United States, a trade that has de- clined seriously since the Siaoot- Hawley tariff went into effect in June, 1930, decreased by $4,767,000, or from $22,053,000 in January, 1981, to $17, 286,000 in January, 1932. Agricultural and vegetable products, once a heavy export to the United States, totalled only $520,000 last month. - Agricul tural products represented almost one- half of the increased export to Great Britain, or from $8,667,000 to $4, 920,000. Animals and animal pro- duets to the United Kingdom increas. ed from $1,977,000 to $2,293,000, meats, leather and fish showing gains. Other advances in exports to Great Britain included wood, wood products and paper from $662,000 to $860,000, machinery from $110,000 to $148,000, ' non-ferrous metal products from $1,- 063,000 to $1,150,000, non-metallic ducts from $42,000 to most modern 'egtablishment of the pr t that it is no longer necessary to declare Under the old rules there were to happen to the Each | paraphernalia of {international law plete laundry equipment. iy 000, and chemicals from $100,000 to $216,000. pr Bulgaria's Air Mail Shows Big Increase Sofia, Bulgaria.--The volume of air mail which Bulgaria sent abroad during 1931 was five times greater than in the preceding year, and the amount regeived from abroad was twice as great.
