(Special to The Guardian) LONDON, Jan. 17.-A violent storm which raged over Great Brit- sin during the night abated today. The gale ripped open the roof of the Clay-Donontyne chemical factory. spilling 10D tons of sulphuric acid. Employees hurriedly neutralized the acid, preventing what would un-

doubtedly have been serious conse-

quences as it spread through the neighborhood. Three persons were killed by falling chimneys and signs. Many signs were torn from their hangings, but absence of pedestrians at the early hour kept the casualty list down. The Canadian Pacific Liner Duchess of York was pinned to hsu‘ dock ct Uverpool by the force of the Willi and had to delay her sailing. Tiigs tried vainly to get her into midstream.

limits APPEAL T0 GANDHI

NEW DELHI. India, Jan. 18:- (Canadlan Press Cable via Reuters.) An appeal to Mahatma Ghandi to try another course, and to Indian opin- ion generally to join with Great Brit- ain in making the very best out of the deliberations of the London Round Table Conference, was made by Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, at the opening of the new Legislative Assembly hcre yesterday. Lord Irwin‘ coupled this plea for the future of India, with a stern condemnation of the activities oi that class in India. which is violently opposed to British cooperation. The experiences of the past few months, the VTceroy said. leave no doubt in regard to the ex- istence of tin organization. whose in- sane objective overthrow uf the established govern- ment by tlie deliberate creation of a state of terrorism.

Maharajah Will g Give Banquet

(Special to The Guardian) LONDON. Jim. lT-The Mahara- nee of Alwar, wife of one oi the Prlncely delegates to the Indian Round Table Conference, will dine Monday night with s00 sweets her husband has invited to n. farewell banquet. but none of the guests will see her. She is w sit behind a screen and shi. will receive her dishes from the hands oi her own serving woman. All this because the Maharajah eniolns strict "Pur- dah" upon the women of his house- hold. l-le is the only one who ever sees their faces. This will be one of the most colorful functions of the many which have attended the Inn dian Conference.

They tell of the starving to death of a young American. who At- tempted to brave a 300 mile winter trip with only two weeks supplies of rations; the accidental shooting of a baby as it slept in a. bed and the drowning of a trapper in a lake. The young American was James Eldon Michael, 25; of Albany, California. He left Hay Lake on foot on March 17, 1930, and his body was found in an isolated trappers cabin on Decemb- er 12, 1930. Tragic notes left indicat- ed that he had starved to death. James Higelak, a few months old baby, was killed on November 7. 1929, when William Storr, i-iospector, ac- cidentally discharged his rifle. An overturned 14 foot canoe frozen in the ice at Fish Lake, 32 miles north of Fort Wrigley, indicated that W. E. Butler, trapper, had died by drowning during the Fall.

Federation Of British In- dustries Is Sending A Delegation To Canada.

LONDON, Jrtn. i7-Acting in co- operation with the Canadian Gov- ernment the Federaflon of Brliflsh Industries is sending a repmcniative delegation under its President. Sir James Lithgow, to Canada. Discus- slam will he opened with leading Canadian industrialists in an attempt towards rationalization of production between Britain and Canada. The poaibilitics of co-operstinn bc- tween Hitisli and Canadian manu- facturers, rather than competition between the industries of the two countries. will be dlscused. The Brit- ish delegates will co-operate as far as possible with the legitimate de. sire of Canadian industry to supply Canadian requirements. The British manufacturers are prepared to co-op- crate in any way desirable and pos- sible ln the development of industry in Canada. On the other hand, the British manufacturers believe it the desire of Canadians. insofar as they have to satisfy their wants from outside sources, to encourage imports from Great Britain rather than from for- eign sources.

‘The various problems involved will need careful discussion, but there is no doubt that with the Iflodwlll

which exists on both aides, substan-

tial progrsss should be possible to- wards rationalisation of production
