Last week Agent Ashwell claimed 18,000,000 followers whom he expects quickly to proselytize 2,000,000 more members.

S. exports rose 20% over the same period last year, but exports to Japan rose 77% to $165,000,000 and exports to China rose 50% to $31,000,000, indicating that both warring factions anticipated trouble. Last week trade to Japan had suffered little, as was shown by the New York silk market, where prices declined on the belief that imports from Japan would continue to arrive on schedule.

Biological Survey, had managed to scratch up $8,500,000. From o.ther sources a total of $21,000,000 was finally obtained.
