San Francisco, Jan. 11 The Page Page wireless station of Pan American Airways radioed the company's home office to-day that the missing Samoan Clipper had been sighted 74 miles due west of Apia.
The plane, carrying mail and express but no commercial passengers, took off from Page Page at 6.02 o'clock this morning, reporting the oil leak soon after the take-off. The pilot said he was returning to Page Page at 830 o'clock and fears that the plane had been forced down grew when th plane failed to arrive. Last radio contact with the plane was made at 8,27 o'clock.
Singapore, Jan. 4.
Native Sees Smoke Cloud Confiscating a poster warning Chinese against dealing in Japanese goods, an Indian constable on duty in Singapore took it to the police station. On his return he was set upon by Chinese and injured about the face and chest. Four Chinese were arrested and charged with rioting.
Largely due to the unofficial Chinese boycott, imports into Malaya from Japan have been declining steadily.
Imports from Japan during November were worth only about £205,000, compared with the July figure, before the Sino-Japanese war, of £575,000.
The gross foreign trade of Malaya dropped by £1,125,000 compared with October and by £5,000,000 compared with April the highest month of the year. The decline is attributed mainly to a heavy drop in tin shipments, combined with a decline in the average price of tin, and also to falls in the return from rubber.
November imports were worth £6,822000 and. exports £7,793,000, compared with October totals of £6,390,000 and £9,163,000.
The total trade for the eleven months to the end of November is, however, £55,800000 more than in the corresponding period last year, and if December trade is maintained, the 1937 total will be the highest since 1930.—Reuter.
