LONDON IN ITALY FAMILIAR STREET NAMES (Special Correspondent-N.Z.P.A.) Recd. 7.45 p.m. London, Jan. 4. “Old Street, E.C.,” said one notice. ■ “Finsbury Pavement, E.C.,” said i another. We saw these notices in iltaly with amusement rather than surprise. They were posted up in an orange and tangerine grove and indi- [ cated pathways between rows of tents : pitched among the fruit trees. We were not surprised at the notice because it was the City of London Beaufighter Squadron we were visiting, having flown from Naples, passing over tne now placid and deserted Salerno beaches en route. This squadron has the proud record of shooting down 97 enemy lighters at night in the Middle East, making its total war score 112. It was here that I again met FlyingOfficer H. B. Newton, D.F.C., 3f Urenui, whom I had last seen in London. Flying a Beaufighter in England he had shot down two enemies, probably destroyed another and damaged another, all in one night.- Then he joined the City of London Squadron last March and has flown with it above the Eighth Army at night during the closing stages of the Tunisian campaign. Later the squadron went to Malta and on the first night of the Sicilian invasion Flying-bfficer Newton watched flak from German batteries at Syracuse. One night Newton sighted a Savoia 82 near Mount Etna. It had a 92ft. wingspan. He followed it for some time and then shot it down into the sea near Palermo. A week after Flying-Officer Newton got a Junkers 88 near Syracuse. He helped provide cover during the first night’s Salerno landing and he patrolled several times over the Volturno Line. Like many squadrons which have been on the move following up the Army, the City of London is well used to making itself comfortable wherever it goes. Its present kitchen is claimed to have the only Maori whare chimney in Italy, built, of course, by Flying-Officer Newton. It is of corrugated Iron full of bullet-holes—-souvenirs of the Salerno landing.

COMPANY AFFAIRS. PROFIT MOTIVE ESSENTIAL TO INDUSTRY The chairman of British Insulated Cables, Sir Alexander Roger, at the annual meeting of the company in London expressed the view that a manufacturing company should have three main motives—(a) to produce goods of the highest quality by the moat efficient means t (b) to pay an equitable remuneration to aH employees and assist them, or their dependants, after their service with the company has ended; and (c) to earn a reasonable profit for shaareholders on the capital invested in the business Sir Alexander raid that there Is “a vast difference between the profiteering motive and the Drofit motive. The profit motive means to me the desire to earn a reasonable wag» or return commensurate with the quality and fidelity of services rendered and the risks undertaken. Its effect is to ensure initiative and progress not only for the individual but for the community as a whole.” He added: “It would bo ridiculous to claim that the capitalifit system is faultless, but I do claim emphatically that it haa enormous advantages over any other economic system yet tried, and, because under its operation the standard of living in this country has during the past 50 years steadily improved, it would be dangerous to discard it lightly.” P. & O. PROFIT Accounts of Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co. for the year to September SO show a profit of £787.768. Unchanged dividend of 5 per cent, on preferred and deferred stock and bonue of 8 per cent, on deferred stock, Jess income tax, take £259,701. Sum of £250,000 has been transferred to reaervo account, and £175,000 to tonnage replacement reserve, leaving £189,456 to be carried forward, against £161,389 brought In.
