The prices of certain doubled cotton yarn will be controlled by n.n Orcler made by the Minister of Supply which comes into force on 2 July. The cloubling sections of the cotton industry is the second section to be brought under control as regards prices. The prices of nearly all single yarns have been controlled sinee the beginning of January. The new Orc1er applies to nearly all doubled. yarns produe­ed from controlled single yar.as, namely, single yo.r.as the prices of which are already controlled. The Order follows the srune general lines as that controlling single yarn prices. A fixed price is prescribed for doubled yarns sold either by the doubler or the spinner of the yarn. The charge for doubling yarn on comnri.ssion is also fixed by the Order. lierchants who buy doubled yarn vd.11. be required by the Ord.er to resell it at not less than the lFesoribed price. .:.. si.li..rl.lar provision ap-plies to doublers who export, except that they vv:i.11 be required to add to the price any ad.ditional costs to which they may be put for carriage, ::_:>aokin6 an.c1 insurance. The Minister has power under the Oro.er to pern-d.t the sale of controlled doubled yarn at less than the prescribecl price in order to prevent or mitigate hardship or ·where it appears to him exr_:>edient to do so in order to increase trade. The prescribed price for controlled yarns is arriveCI. at by adding to the controlled price of the single yarn used, and e.llowance for waste and a doubling margin. The prescribed margins for various types of 0.oubling and for different counts are set out in schedules to the Order. The same terms and conCl.itions of sale will apply to controlled doubled yarns as to controlled single yar-.as, thus prices are based on delivery at the seller's premises or at the nearest convenient railway station, and the controlled prices are net for payment within JJi. days. The provisions as to agencies are the same as those in the No. 5 Order but further consideration is to be given to certain aspeQts of the problem. MINISTRY OF SUPPLY.

The self-styled New British Broadcasting Company9 which is a German short wave station operating from Germany, last night warned Englishmen that in the event of the tovm in which they live being bombarded during an invasion, their only hope of survival is '::; o flee: "You, your wife, your children must go anywhere out of danger." Further lilausible directions, ea go 9 "Have your money ready"; were added. This advice is directly opposite to the Government's direction to civilians to "stay .put". Its purpose is to create confusion, and to facilitate the seizure of cash. It was by this method of' inducing the civil population to flee and block the roads that the Germans often succeeded in hampering the movement of French troops. It was a considerable factor in the defeat of France. The flight of civilians also resulted in heavy casualties among the fugitives from machine gun fire from aircrafto If civilians are so foolish as to leave their houses and attempt to fleet without orders, they are likely to find them­selves tur~1ed off the roads by our armed forces and J.eft danger­ously exposedo Vlliil.T NAZI RULE WOULD ll&:':N I-JERE "Postcript", by Elle;.1 WiDdnson, U.P., Parliaruen:fo.ry Secretary· to the Ministry of ?ensions, to be broac1cast at about ·9.15 this . (Monday) evening on the Hone Service. Not to be -;_:>ublished. until after delivery. I hea_"l"d a young woman say recently, "Well, if ·we can1 t buy any new clothes, vre might as vrell live u:rrler Hitler". .:'>.. .ailly woman. ••yes, of course. But have YOU thought out what life under Nazi rule means to women'l It means the subjection of the lives of everybody, of each faraily,. • • not to the state, -that would be a oreditable if stern ideal; but to a .war ma.chine, run by a set of gangsters who have seized. power. They can only keep that l)OYi'er, a:nd their hold over their own people, by war. Their only use for women is that they shall provide more and yet more children to keep the 1va,r ma.chine $Oing. Yv1mt would Nazi ·rule mean here'? First the complete control of the minds of the children. F:iscism alvmys claims that. Children·aust not be allowed to irribibe, at. home, ideas of :Ereea.o~n, and of hatred of the c:mqueror•. The young r11en would ho.vc to go into the ar;ny, large standing armies for the oppression of their ovm people, ard of friendly al.lies. Older rnen would be enslaved for co~ulsory labour; as is hal-ipening naw t ·6 the decent, kindly Dutch husbands and fathers. Gernia~ wollieri used to co1n;9lain bittei"ly about hovv their home life was broken up to prepare for this •var~ Girls sent to distant f'arI11S for labour service; boys eternally being drilled to exhaustion; husbands sent away to work on distant fort­ifications. If the Nazis treat their ovvn people like this, how would they treat us if they con~uered. us? BUT IBEY JUi.E NOT GOING TO CXlNC.)b'ER US. The war maps ('If the German victories leave me quite uni1ir2ressed. Europe has had these g:i."eat sweeps before.

But there has always been one point where they have been stopyed. .nwe.ys that :;_Joint has come when the aggressor has met the o:??OSition of a united people, a people as fanatical in resistance as the aggressor in attack. Llways, when they met tJ:1at solid deternd.nation, the invading horc1es have wavered., crur,1pled, am their mushroom em.i:>ires have fallen to bits. This is clearly the job Britain has to do, nmv that we are going through the sai,1e sort of thing again. History shows that the fir.amess of a people1 s resistance depends on the women. At such a crisis it is no use we women thinking that somehow ire can keep our comforts. If we are worrying about what is going to happen to the ornaments on the mantelpiece, so to speak, our -nation vr.i.11 fail.

HURRICP.NE SUCCESSES Five Messerschlnitt 109 1s were shot down by Hurricanes of the Royal Air Force Fighter Comm.and over France yesterday (Sunday)afternoon. In addition to these, a further seven were probablydestroyed; although they were not actually seen to crash or godown in flames. One of our Hurricane formations encountered a patrol of six Messerschmitt l09's over France. The Hing Corrunander leading our Hurricane formation irmnediately attacked. He shot down three enemy aircraft himself, two of them falling in flames ten miles from the French coast. In addition to these three, fighter pilotsengaged in this action believe they destroyed two others. At the same time, two pilots of another Hurricane squadron were, as their report states, "staging a show of their own". They got separated from the main formation over Le Trep~rt and flew below the clouds towards Abbeville. There they encountered a forraation of five Messerschrnitt 109 1s, shot down two in flames and badly damaged a third. ~'.\nether Hurricane formation encountered a third patrol of six Messerschlnitt l09's. One of the Messerschlnitts went into a spinwith thick black smoke belching from it. A second is thought to have crashed into a wood north-east of Bethune, and two others dived vertically for the ground with clouds of smoke streamingfrom their engines. Of :a total of' seventeen enemy aircraft encountered during the afternoon, our Hurricanes allowed only five to escape without serious damage. No.11.

SYRIA: THE BRITISH ATTITUDE His Majesty's Goverrunent in the Unitea_ Kingdom understand that General Hi ttelhauser, the Commander in Chief· of the French Forces in the Levant, has stated that hostilities have ceased in Syria. His J:ajestJr' s Govern:men t assume that this does not mean that if Germany or Italy sought to occupy Syria or the Lebanon and were to try to do so in the face of British connnand of the sea, no attempt would b.e made by the French forces to ~ppose them. In order, however, to set at rest doubts which may be felt in anJr quarter, His Hajesty' s Government declare that they could not allow Syria or the Lebanon to be occupied by any hostile power or to be used as a base for attacks upon those countries in the Middle East which they are :Pledged to defend, or to become the scene of such disorder as to constitute a danger to those countries. They therefore hold themselves free to take whatever measures they may in such circumstances consider necessary in their own interests. AnY action which they may hereafter be obliged to take in fulfilment of this declaration will be entirely without prejudice to the future status of the territories now under French Mandate. ----000---­ FOREIGN OFFICE NEWS DEPARTMENT. gs:E;SS NCTrICE• .

The prices of certain doubleo. cotton yarn v.rill be controlled by an Order made by the Minister of Supply which comes into force on 2 July. The c1oubling sections of the cotton industry is the second section to be brought under control as regards prices. The prices of nearly all single ya.ms have been controlled sinoe the beginning of January. The new Order applies to nearly all doubled yarns produe­ea from controllea. single yar-.as, namely, single yarns the prices of which are already controlled. The Order follows the same general lines as that controlling single yarn prices. A fixed price is prescribed. for doubled ya.ms sold. either by the doubler or the spinner of the yarn. The charge for doubling yarn on commission is also fix:ec1 by the Order. lierchants who buy doubled yarn i:d.11 be Feq_uired by the Order to resell it at not less than the i:irescribed price. .":.. similar provision applies to doublers ·who export, except that they vdll be required to ac1d to the price any additional costs to which they may be put for carriage, packin~ and insurance. The Minister has power under the Ora.er to pennit the sale of controlled doubled yarn at less than the prescribed price in order to prevent or Tlli tigate hardship or where it appears to him ezj;>edient to d.o so in order to increase trade. The prescribed. price for controlled. yci.rns is arrived at by adding to the controlled. price of the single yarn used, and e.llowance for waste and a a.oubling margin. The prescribed margins for various types of doubling and for different counts are set out in schedules to the Order. The srune terms and cono.itions of sale will a:;_)ply to controlled. doubled yarns as to controlled. single yar-.as, thus prices are based on delivery at the seller's premises or at the nearest convenient railway station, and the controlled prices are net for i)ayment vrithin 14 days. · The provisions as to agencies are the scune as those in the No.5 Order but further consideration is to be given to certain aspects of the problem.
