Lord Halifax, the British AM
bassador, with Lady Halifax, took
As minutes from busy Saturday
afternoon yesterday to inspect the
exhibition of British flre-fighting
art now at the, National Gallery OF
Art.
The exhibition, work of English
artists who have been or still are
members of the London Auxiliary
Fire Service, will continue at the
National Gallery through next Sum
day. 1t opened July l8.
Both Lord and Lady Halifax ex-
hibited great interest in the de-
pictions of fires that marked Luft-
waite raids early last winter. They
frequently asked questions of Mac
gill James, assistant director of the
gallery; Rudolf Haybrook, artist
member of the fire-ighting force,
who is here with the exhibit, and
Battalion Chief Daniel wall.
Lord Halifax showed particular
interest in the larger pictures show
ing blocks of burning buildings with
firemen in intrepid action. One of
these was Haybrook's I'm the Front
Line" which shows a devastating

the japanese to respect his rights
as a foreign representative. He
gained important concessions clari-
flying the Perry treaty, finally o
broad, new commercial treaty.
-Four months after the Navy was
supposed to send ship back to look
in on him, Consul Harris noted in
his diary that he had been in Japan
10 months without word from the
United States and:
MY health is miserable, my appe-
tite is gone and I am so shrunk
away that I look as though vice
consul had been cut out of me-"
His treaty established broad
base for friendly relations, was the
pattern for Japanese relations until
the end of the century. A diplo-
matte agent might live at TOXIC,
consuls at the other open ports.
They might travel freely. other
Americans might lease land, buy
buildings. live in open ports. Trade
would not be troubled by Japanese
officers. The President would medi-
ate between Japan and any Euro
pean power. Japan might buy ships
and munitions in the United States.
1t would open Yokohama. Nagasaki
and Hakodate as supply depots for
American naval vessels.
Slowly Westernized.
BY slow degrees in the years that
passed Japan was westernized. II
sent students to America and
Europe, changed its laws, withdrew
edicts against Christianity, built
railways and telegraph lines, estab-
lished newspapers. And a national
army and navy replaced the old
feudal levies that had existed in
the time of Townsend Harris.
In the World War, it fought with
the Allies And during the war,
Japan took over all of the islands
in the South Pacific north of the
Equator except the Island of Yap
which the British had already taken.
1t claimed that a secret treaty with
Britain had promised these to
Japan if it would send destroyers
to the Mediterranean. At the
peace conference, the islands were
inundated to Japan, have been held
since. Many reports say they have
been fortified.

no salts set. His were the first
steamships the Japanese had seen.
Signal guns were fired and
rockets went up from fort to warn
of the. approach of the foreigners.
The city was in an uproar. Mothers
fed with children on their backs.
Noise filled the streets, the tramp
of horses, the clatter of warriors,
tolling bells, shrieking women, cry
ing children.
Presents for Emperor.
Commodore Perry gave himself
high sounding title, commensurate
with Oriental ideas Of dignity, in
sisted that as the bearer of mes
sage from the President Of the
United States he would talk only
with an official of the highest rank.
He managed to convey the idea that
he might be ungentle If crossed.
Two princes came to his anchorage
to get the letters and were told
Commodore Perry would be back In
1854 for the answer.
Would Perry bring all of his ships
when he came back? The Japa-
nese asked.
"All of them, and probably more
as these are only q portion Of the
squadron" Perry replied.
He WAS back the next February
with 10 ships, pushing past the
government junks from which the
Japanese officials sought to talk,
hating 10 miles above Uraga. The
Japanese sought to lure him back
into the outer bay for the talk. He
said no, they would talk to him
where he was or he would steam on
to Toxic. They went to him.
He had brought many presents
for the Emperor and other jap
anese. officials, firearms, swords,
books, perfumes, clocks, tools, tele
graph apparatus, miniature rail
road, many baskets of champagne

The treaty was signed at the enc

In 1t, the japanese agreed to b.

there; to allow consuls or govern

Arms Exports Lists
On Defense Grounds
Stote Department Puts
Doto in Gloss With
military information

With American aid TO the fighting
foes of the Axis mounting con-
stantly, the State Department yes
terday abandoned its policy of pub
fishing statistics on shipments OF
arms to individual countries, re-
porting only the total value Of
licenses issued and actual exports.
The public listing of shipments to
individual countries was discon-
tinued, the department explained,
in order that military information
of interest to the national defense
may not be improperly dissemi-
mated"
The report made public showed
that $48, 8,796,815 worth of combat
airplanes and other war equipment
was exported to all countries during
the month of June, bringing the
value of actual shipments of arms
during the first six months of this
year to $3l2,331,156. Licenses au-
thorizing export of arms on the
other hand, totaled $190,045 $50
during June, bringing the six
months aggregate to $500, ,663 ,037.
For many months most of the
military equipment shipped from
this country has gone to the Brit
ish Empire. Since February the
State Departments monthly report
of arms exports has Jumped to-
gether all shipments to various
British territories under the desig-
nation of British Commonwealth of
Nations. Before the February re-
port shipments to England, Canada,
Australia and other parts of the
British Empire were listed sepa-
rately.
Shipments to Russia are now un-
der way, the Moscow government
having placed large purchasing or
ders herein recent weeks.

Oumansky conferred at length yes
terday on this very matter with
Acting Secretary of State Welles.

Women Storm Stores
In Nation S Biggest
Hosiery Run
Rush to Beot Rotioninq
Of Silk Turns Chicago
Stores Into 'Mudhouse'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
The Nations biggest silk stocking
run was under way yesterday as
women stormed hosiery counters
to lay in reserves before the Gov
ernment's order freezing silk sup
plies led to rationing.
From Chicago, Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and other
cities came reports of tremendous
increases in sales and limitations
on purchases.
Stores disclosed varying stocks on
hand, with some areas having re-
serves sufficient only for few days
and others prepared for months
ahead
Huge Sales Gain in n. Y.
The rise in New York City ho-
siery sales began Tuesday and
reached a peak Friday night, just
before the large stores closed for
the week end. Managers of IL
stores declared stocking orders had
increased 200 to 500 per cent.
Merchants estimated that If the
pace continued the four-month re-
serves normally maintained would
be exhausted within 10 days to two
weeks. The heavy buying had de-
pleted most Of the popular colors
and sizes, with many shades COM
pletely out of stock.
| In Chicago most State street
stores limited purchases to three
pairs, and one executive described
the counter rush as a "madhouse."
The Philadelphia scramble was
like "just before Christmas" one
manager said, and sales were four
times above normal.
All department store counters
were jammed in San Francisco,
and retailers estimated sales were
up 300 per cent over July l. One
woman tried to buy SO dozen pairs
The largest silk wholesalers in
Portland, Greg, said that under
present demand there wasn't enough
hosiery to last more than two or
three days.
Los Angeles Sales Limited.
Los Angeles four biggest down.
town stores started a six-pairs-per-
person limit.
The supply of nylon hose was said
to be insufficient to meet demands,
with nylon plants working overtime
on tremendous backlogs of whole
sale orders.
Meanwhile the Agriculture De-
partment announced it was ready to
tell industry how to make $50 styles
of hosiery from cotton and nylon
wearers were reassured that the
Government did not intend to take
over supplies of the synthetic fiber
The National Association of Ho-
siery Manufacturers sent bulletin
to all members asserting that Sid
ney Hillman, associate director OF
the Office of Production Manage
ment, would appoint committee
within the next few days to study
problems arising from the stop
production order.

$50, ,OO0, 900 Packard Plant
Built Since September

DETROIT, Aug. 2 P).-Packard
Motor Car Co. reached the production
stage today on its Rolls-Royce air
craft engine contracts and observed
the occasion with ceremonies to
which it invited top-ranking execu-
tives of the War and Navy Depart
ments, representatives of the Brit
ish and Canadian governments and
agencies having to do with Amer
icas national defense program.
Approximately 500 persons. each
provided with a special pass and
his identity vouched for, were
shown through the new aviation
engine plant which Packard has
built since last September ! at a
cost of approximately $50 ,000 600.
The plant, embracing more than
100000 square feet of floor space.
has been built on the exact spot
where Packard in the World War
built the famed Liberty aviation
engine.
Two Of the Rolls-Royce Merlin
engines built with production parts
were exhibited alongside one Of the
Liberty engines of the first World
War. The newest motor is IL
cylinder, liquid cooled model Of the
same basic design as those power
ing r. A. F. Spitfire and Hurricane
fighter planes.
Contract Calls for 5000.
Packards initial contract as an
announced last September calls for
the production of 5000 Of the Rolls
Royce engines. Three thousand OF
them are for the United States
Army Air Corps and 5000 for the
British. They are to cost approx
mately 100000.
Company officials declined to say
when the new engines would be
rolling regularly from the assembly
lines or when peak production
might be expected. 1t has been
generally expected, however, that
an output of approximately 1000
engines a month would be attained
early next year.
One of the two engines shown
today will be shipped to the Air
Corps laboratories at Wright Field,
DAYTON, Ohio and the other is to
90 to an aircraft manufacturer for
experimental installation in pur-
suit plane.

Packard Celebrates
Production Of First
Rolls Royce Engines
Lord Halifax Speaks
In Ceremonies, Proising
lndustry's War Effort

Lord Halifax last night partici-
pated In an international broad
cast celebrating completion of the
first Rolls Royce aircraft engine in
the Packard Co. plants at Detroit.
The broadcast, originating In
Washington, Windsor, Ontario, and
London, was opened by an r. A. F.
pilot in England whose words "set
in motion the wheels of great
new industry in Detroit"
The drone of a powerful motor,
coming over the radio from Detroit,
was the British Ambassadors cue
to begin his talk. He said in part:
LESS than IL months ago the
United States called upon Amer
ican man of industry to produce
the weapons of defense in quanti-
ties that few minds could easily
grasp. Your response was in action
rather than words.
Immense Arsenal Built.
''Undaunted by the scope of this
demand, the incredible magnitude
of the job, you resolutely struck the
word impossible from the Amer
lean program. With very little of
the confusion that often attends
such gigantic efforts, you have built
up, in one short year, an immense
arsenal of vital weapons and ma
terials of war"
Lord Halifax regretted he was
unable to be in Detroit, but said,
81 can see in my minds eye the
tens of thousands of fine engines
which Packard and other famous
automobile makers in this country
will soon be pouring forth"
Predicts Victory.
I'VE English he declared, "have
had long and tiresome way to 60
to catch up with our enemies, but
with your help we are getting nearer
and nearer every day" The Am
bsssador spoke of the American war
effort from personal observation,
having returned recently from tour
of new aircraft manufacturing IA
cilities on the Pacific Coast.
In conclusion, LORD Halifax said,
"Hitler has turned the whole world
upside down, just as Napoleon did
100 years ago. At the end of long
day Napoleon was smashed by the
Duke of wellington, of whom it was
said that genius was an infinite ca
pacity for taking pains.
That Is the kind of genius our
manufacturers possess, and that is
the kind of genius that is going to
win the war"
