The people of Thailand long have called themselves "Thai." Siam was a name for the benefit of foreigners.

The cold stony eyes' of Mosely rested on Lamprey for a moment. "You'll stay here." That one curt remark wiped Jesse from consid- eration. The Hat T bait ;gave his attention solely to the captured men. "You're going to dance to mir music, you' interfering fool. Make up your mind to that."

(Continued Next Week') Britain Exports Despite Bombing Despite boinbing of industrial plants and harbors, arid. the deb struction by German submarines, British industry has filled 98 per cent. of the orders of 'Canadian' importers, J. B. Greaves, of To. r°onto, British Trade Commissioner for the Province 1of Ontario, said recently. From the outset of the war, stated the . speaker, the British government's poliey Was to main- tain as large a flow as possible on.' export goods to many nations. This policy was maintained even at the expense of the home mar- ket. As the enemy became more menacing and Britain's industrial power was directed increasingly to output • of the implements of war, restrictions on imports were. introduced. "It was necessary, however, stated the speaker, to continue to ship to Canada and the United States ds inch export aa possible to provide foreign exchange for purchase of ,munitions' and food. stuffs." The commissioner admitted that thecost of many articles from the old land had risesharply n owing to additionalnsurance premiums, for air raid Protection of work- ers, and owing to inereased•+taxa; tion, interruption by blackouts, and air raids, and th'e sacrifice of ' skilled workers to enlistment and ' civilian casualties: "The wonder is •not that these domniodities,resein pride but that British workmen continued to manufacture them and send them` safely to Canada," raid' Mr. (reaves. • • Eggs For -Britain ,. - In Powder Form 'Ca,nac-1iian eggs -fiii-•Brit tin are to be shippedfrom, now on in dried -powder , form instead of in the • shell, the ••special Products Board has stated..

That is the opinion 'of the War Production Board and of one of the 'soap, industry's, best -in, formed nen who said, that, as an extra measure of securing a well- , scrubbed nation; plans were be- ing considered to have housewives save' their 'cooking fat.• - The government wants soap made because from the manufac- ture of it comes More than ninety per cent of the nation's glycerinel necessary 'in turning, tout'. muni•• tions.

The priri,- cipal ingredients include: tallow, coconut oil, grease, whale and fish oil, palm and babassu nut oil, soya beans, olive, corn, cotton- seed and linseed oils, and tactor beans, Coconut, palm and olive oils have been shut off by the war, while babassu nuts,- imported from Brasil, will continue to be brought into the country as the ' government can manage the shipe ping of them. The other ingredi- .ents, except whale oil,' 'can be' obtained domestically. R.C.A.F.
