Youthful Hollander Plans {Voyageuzln l5 Foot Dingy

WFSPPORT, N. 5., June 26-4 86 year old Hollander attempting to sail alone from Nova Scott: to Dutch Guiana. by 1111381118 the coastline of the Atlantic seaboard was preparing his tiny 15 foot dingy Imp tonight for a run across the choppy Bay of Fundy.

In l. series of short coastal cruis- es he had conquered the jagged shoro line of Nova Scoiia from Hal- ifax to westport but the meet has- ardous journey, a 30 mile voyage to Grand Mlnan, lay directly be- fore him. Lnrry hoped for favor- able winds and thought he might get away at day-break.

For the cruise across the Bay. he has no chrpnonieter, sextant or barometer but depends on his ability as a. seaman for safe guid- ance to the New Brunswick Island.

“It wili- take me about seven months to reach South America" the lone navigator said before sail- ing out of Halifax harbor more than a fortnight ago. Larry work- ed on a Nova Sootis. farm last wiri- ter at t3 s week and. saved enough to buy the tiny croft and outfit it.

He hopes to get s job on s. pian- tation in the Dutch colony and perhaps make his fortune in sugar.

"By the time I reach there, the depression will be over." he laugh- ingly remarked, and he said he would never be lonely on the voy- age because he speaks several languages and could give his cap- tains orders in Dutch, criticise them

in French or German and answer L-GZM-M-O-tf nick in English .

JAPAN m nit ABTIVEPART

Far Eastern N a v a l Problems Command Attention of World

Powers.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Win!)

LONDON. Juno 26-A last-min- ute decision by Japan to play a more active role in the 1935 naval conference today sharply-switched

attention from Anglo-American conversations to far-caste - naval problems.

News of the Tokyo decision was further bolstered by the expecta- izion that Japan would send two admire-ls here to take over the technical end of the parleys-

Japan's sudden decision to take a greater interest in the parleys, it was understood. was caused chiefly by Great Britain's statement of its maximum naval requirements last week, coupled with the speech made Saturday by Sir Bolton Mere- dith Eyres-Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty, in which ha assert- ed international disarmament has become a dream.

The question of Russia's admis- sion to the prelminary discussions and to the 1935 conference was, a1- though m old isue, a. most im- portant factor due to the constant striving by Moscow and Paris to bring about a British invitation to the Soviets.

Despite ‘Tokyo's efforts to keep political questions out of the 1985 conference, Rmsian circles here in- dlcated that Moscow expects Far Eastern problems to play the most important role at the gathering.

Heroic Work By Rescuers Dim; ‘inishes Death Toll —— Rivalry For Trade Blamed For Tragedy.

(A. P. By Guardian’s Special Wire) _

LORIENT, France, June 27—(Wednesday)--A passen- ger boal carrying 100 arsenal workers was rammed from the rear tonight by another vessel and man cargo, The loss of life was still unchecked early today. At least a score were feared to have been carried out

to sea by a treacherous current flowing past the mouth of Lorient harbor. The official toll stood at six dead and

six injured.

Quick work diminished the death toll, which at first was feared to be high. Dockworkers and sailors plunged into the waters over the sinking vessel and rescued all the passengers trapped in the ship’s cabin.
