THEFT OF TOBACCOHUTT MEN PLEAD GUILTY

Two Lower Hutt'Jabourers,Sydney Reu-ben Salmonand Hai'iy Victor Webb werecharged in the Petone Court this morningwith breaking and entering the shop ofH. M. Brady, tobacconist,in High street.Lower Hutt, on Saturday night last, andstealing from it tobacco and cigarettesvalued at £319s Sd. Mr. N. T. Gillespiewas counsel for both. They pleaded guiltyand were committed by Messrs. A. Ander-son and J. Burn, J.P.s, to the SupremeCourt for sentence.

Brady, iv evidence,said he had discov-ered the theft when he returned to hiss!.op last Monday morning. The shop hadbeen entered by breaking a pane of glassin a back window. The goods missingwere valued at £3 19s Bd—£2 16s 10%dworth had been recovered.

Detective W. M'Lennau said that bothSalmonand Webb had admitted the of-fence. In a statement Salmon said thatthey had broken the window with a stone,and Webb had gone in and handed outthe tobacco and cigarettes, which theydivided between them.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS

Bishop and Mrs. Mow]], who are nowpaying a visit to New Zealand,will be inWellington for the week-end,and will pro-vide, opportunities of becoming acquaintedwith a little-known part of the enormousChinese Empire.

Dr. Mowll comes from Szechwan,a hugeprovince in the west bordering oil Tibet.The name means "Four Streams,"and hasreference to four main rivers that drainits vast and very fertile area. It is reach-ed only after a journeyof some 2000 milesup the mighty Yang-tse Eiver. The riveris wide enough to carry comfortablesteamers for hundreds of miles along itscourse, but then narrows into rapids andgorges,with mountains towering high oneither side. It is on the other side ofthese gorgesthat the great saucerlike plaiiilies which is the province of Szechwan.It has a population of 70,000,000,and itswealth has given it an influence whichmakes itself felt throughout the wholecountry. Though far inland, the provinceis anything but a baekblock district, thecapital, Cliengtu, being the third largesttown in China. The province is, however,very disturbed by bandits. Bishop andMrs, Mowll are no strangers to this as-pect of the land of their adoption, havingbeen captured by bandits a few years ago,and held for 24 days before release.Held" is perhaps not the right word todescribe such an experience, as they wereriot kept in one place, but marched overlull and dale, and across streams, inces-santly, to be jammed at night in rooms inout-ot-the-way farmhouses,and to lie kepton the go, scantily fed and clothed,untilthey were finally rescued by the kindnessof Chinese authorities.While iv Wellington Bishop and Mrs.Mowll will address a publicmeetingon Fri-day night next in the Sydney Street Hall,and the Bishop will he preaching iv St.Mark's Church.on Sunday morning, andm St. Peter's iv the evening. In the after-noon he will address another meeting inthe Concert Chamberof the Town Hall,and he will be the guest of the Rotariansfit their luncheon on the following Tuesday.-He loaves that afternoon for Sydney enroute to his diocese.

The total number of attendances byovnrsuas buyers at the recent British In-dustries Fair was 4854 in London and 1984in Birmingham—an increase of 25 per cent,on last year's figures. The visits by homebuyers numbered 107,259in London and106,082in Birmingham—au increase .of30,000over last' year.

RUGBY COMPETITIONS

The state of the vari-ous grades at present is shown in thetables given below;

JUNIOR GRADE.

obtained iv the sixth grade, in which Mel-rose have won all their matches,the nextbest being Miramar and Wellington, withtwo losses each. Miramar have easily the(best record as regards points: for andagainst.

CLUBCHAMPIONSHIP.In last Saturday's matches,for all

BIG CLAIM

O'NEILL ASSAILED

PLAGIARISM ALJLEGED

Eugene O'Neill, the American play-wright whoso presence in Prance pre-ventd him from appearing as a witnessin the 2,000-000-dollar suit broughtagainst him by Miss Georges Lewys,California author, who insists that hisplay, "Strange Interlude," is based onher novel, "The Temple of Pallas-Athc-nae," denied.,all the charges againsthim, says the ''New York Times."

Harry "Weinberger, the dramatist'sattorney, placed Alan Hays, one ofthe counsel for defence, on ths stand,and asked him to answer questions thathad been put to O'Neill a year agoat.the direction of Federal Judge Wil-liam Bondy. Reading Mr. O'Neill'sanswers, Mr. Hays not only denied thatthe playwright had read "The Templeof Pallas-Athanae" before writing hisplay, but also denied that the, TheatreGuild or his producers, publishers, andco-defendants in the suit had suggest-ed that he use the plaintiff^ book.

After this proxy testimony Mr. Wein-berger introdued in evidence the play-wright's notebook, which, in additionto revealing a synopsis of "StrangoInterlude" written in 1923, a year be-fore Miss Lewys published her book,contains notes on thirty-two unwrittenplays. Mr. O'Neill requested throughhis attorney that only parts of thenotebook relating to "Strange Inter-lude" be made public. For purposesof examination only photostatic copiesof pages containing these references,written in pencil in small handwriting,and accompanied by diagrammaticschemes,were exhibited.

EIGHT YEARS AGO."I made notes for' 'Strange Inter-

lude' in 1923," Mr. O'Neill was quqtedas saying. "It was in the previoussummer, in Provineetown, Mass., thatI heard from an aviator, formerly ofthe Lafayette Eseadrille, the story ofa girl whose aviator fiance was shotdown just before the Armistice. Thegirl had gone to pieces from the shock.Shehad married, not because she lovedthe man, but because she wanted tohave a child. She hoped throughmotherhood to win back'a measure ofcontentment from life."

Mr. O'Neill, according to the testi-mony, began the actual writing of theplay in the summer, of 1926 in Nan-tucket and Belgrade Lakes, and com-pleted it in Bermuda in 1927.

The playwright said, according toMr. Hays, that he had discussed vari-ous angles of his work on the manu-script with Dr. V. 6. Hamilton of theRockefeller Foundation; George P.Baker, under whom he had studied atHarvard; Kenneth M'Gowan andGeorge Jean Nathan.

O'Neill had never heard of MissLewys or her book, he said, until heread in 1929,in a Paris newspaper, thatshe had sued him, and then, hesaid, at the suggestion of Mr.Weinberger, he read her novel.Mr. Weinberger took the stand as awitness, and asking himself questionsas anattorney, brought out the fact thathe had gone to Paris last summer, andhad obtained there Mr. O'Neill'sanswers to the questions. Judge Woolseysmiled at this point and remarked:—"It would be terrible, wouldn't it,

if you asked yourself a quostion youcouldn't answer.','

UNREAD.Lawrence Langner, a director of the

Theatre Guild, and T. B. Smith, editorialmanager of Boni and Liveright, werequestioned. Both witnesses deniedthat they had read "The Temple ofPallas-Athenae," and each presented tothe Court acopyof tho book which re-vealed uncut pages.. Mr. Langner saidthat after returning from Europe in1924 he found a copy of "The Temple"in his ofdee,with a circular describingits contents."Iread the circular," he said, "and

had an idea that it was ono of thoseprivately printed naughty books, butafter reading one or two pagesI foundit wasn't and Ididn't finish it." Mr.Smith admitted that Miss Lewys, whomhe had frequently visited, he said, hadgiven him acopy of the book. Ho putit'away, he said, with the "idea ofreading it some day." The witnessdenied, however, that he had ever toldGertrude Athcrton, as charged by MissLewys, that she could find material init for a novel of her own. ''I didn'tdiscuss the book with Miss At&orton inany way," he said. Earlier in the dayCourtney Lemon, testifying for the de-fence, denied that he had discussed"The Temple" with Mr. O'Neill. Headmitted that he had received it fromMiss Lewys as reader for the TheatreGuild in February, 1925. After keep-ing it in a drawerof his desk some time,he said, he returned it to the author atthe Hotel Ansonia and received a, re-ceipt from the hotel.

Askedby Mr. Hays if she eouia thinkof any line from her book that O'NeUlhad used verbatim, Miss Lcwys said shecould and that that line was: "He's aweakling." .

George Jean Nathan, up from a sickbed to testify for his friend, EugeneO'Neill, was the centre of attractionwhen he took the witness stand. _Mr.Nathan, one of America's leading^liter-ary iconoclasts, was himself subjectedto the rather blunt jibes and broad sar-casm of Mr. Cohalan,who nevertheless,managed only once to shake the criticin his testimony, which was as frank inits criticism of O'Neill as a "stubborn,conceited" fellow, as it was in itsprase of him as "the best Americanplaywright." "The critics, corroborating O'Neill'stestimony, first explained under exam-ination by Harry Weinberger, the de-fence attorney, that the defendant hadfirst discussed "Strange Interlude"when he and its author strolled uplower Sixth Avenue on their way fromthe Brovoort Hotel in 1923. This wasa year before Miss Lewys wrote herbook.

"MUCH THE SAME.""O'Neill,". Mr. Nathan said, "told

me at that time that.it'was his anibi-tiou to write a play dealing' in greatdetail with the life of a woman fromher youth until the age of 45. Thewoman, O'Neill said, would bo one wholost her ideals and vision, and tho playwould deal with her attempts to re-capture them in some other form, inthis case through the introduction <?flove."

"Most of O'Neill plays, by the way,"Nathan added, "arc pretty much thesame."

He explained that this judgment wasbased not only on plays that the de-fendant had written, but on others heknew ho would write in the future.Nathan revealed that he did not likeall of O'Neill's plays. One of these,he said, was the,play "Welded.""It seemed," he said, "a ridiculous

exaggeration of the Strindbergmethod."

"What is that method'?" JudgeWoolsoy inquired.

"It's the intensification of the dra-matic action, of which O'Neill is sofond,'' said Mr. Nathan. '' If ho stemsfrom any ono, he stems from Stri^id-berg. He carries his emotions to levelsthat become unnatural. When tho playwas finished and I saw it I thought itso excessively bad that I was afraid ofmy own opinion. I then showed it toMencken,and ho agreed with my judg-ment."

Mr.Nathan then testifiedthat he hadsold O'Neill's first long play for him.That play, he said, was "Anna Chris-tie." Later he added that six ofO'Neill's shorter plays had first'beenpublished in the old u Smart Sot,"edit-

Ed by the witness and Mencken, andlater, he said, he had been instrumentalin getting three of the defendant'splays produced—"Anna Christie,' 3!"Beyond the Horizon," and "Gold. J!>

"How long have you been connected,with O'Neill?" Mr. Cohalanasked on.cross-examination.

"Do, you mean financially?". Nathan!asked.

"Is that your only meaning?"1 "In sound English, yes."

"Oh," the examiner replied, "sp yoiiset yourself up as a sound judge ofEnglish?" "■ . ■-

"Yes."Mr. Nathan made it clear later iv

the examination that he had receivedno financial reward in his efforts topromote Mr. O'Ncill's works, or forsimilar efforts—some thirty or forty ayear, he said—in' behalf of otherauthors. . '". ,;■." . ■:.

He explained thcu that Mr. O'Ncillhad accepted none of his suggestionsfor changes in his plays.

"O'Neill," he said, "is a very stub-born, vain" fellow."

"CONCEITED." : :Later when an analysis of thai

author's traits was resumed the wit-ness said he wished to qualify his testi-mony. ,"I called him vain," he said. "Vain

is a silly word. He's not vain. He'sconceited."' .'■'"■'

Mr. Nathan admitted that "at least'200 times" he had referred to O'Neillin his critical writings "as the best ofthe lot of American playwrights." Hesaid, at least twenty other first-ratecritics agreed with him, which causedthe'examiner to say:

"Oh, I thought there was only onagood critic in America."

Mr. Cohalan asked Mr. Nathan if hohad ever used "Temple of PallasAthenae" in his writings. Mr. Nathan,said he did not believe he everhad butthat he could not be sure.

The attorney then introduced in evi-dence a page from the magazine"Judge," pointing out a paragraph,1written byMr. Nathan in 1927 in whiclihe said:

"AVhy a dreadful piece of screen.'mush showing Hollywood actors pre-venting the bursting of a dam or aHollywood liam wrinkling his browlike a great statesman should be im-measurably improved by introducing itwith an act displaying a troupe -ofwenches in Greeknightgowns and call-ed the 'Temple of Pallas Athenae' ia.quite a problem for the rest of us use-less intelligent folk."

'" ■,;..Tho witness then admitted that

Shakespeare was what he, termed a'plagiarist. He declined to admit thatDumas was to bo rated with Balzac*though he finally conceded that Dumasmight have been a plagiarist. ■Arthur Garfleld Hays, attorney £otBoni and Liveright, brought Nathan'stestimony to an end by asking onaquestion on redirect examination:"Do you wear your:handkerchief iiithe upper right hand .breast pocket ofyour jacket because Duke Louis, a'character in Miss Lewys Js book' didlikewise?" ' 'Nathan insisted that he had neverread Miss Lewys's book and explained'to Judge Woolsey that he wore hishandkerchief in a right-hand pocket Sothat he would not crush the' cigarswhich he carried in a left-iand pocketof his vest., Judgment was given for Eueen*O'Neill.

BUSINESS AND PUBLIC DUTY

In the course of a short address at tb«iWellington Chamber of Commercemeetinglast eevning, the president (Mr. J.

Had we not failedto appreciate the significance of our dutyand our privileges as business men andemployers? Without doubt business washarassed to-day by far too many restric»tious. He urged concerted action by thftemployingsections of the communitywitltthe view of creating the opportunities fo#public and private welfare which, he sub-mitted, it was their duty and privilege topromote.

HERO OF HAYTI

THE NEGRO LIBEKATOR

TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTUREPLUNKET MEDAL ORATION

The story of Toussaint L'Oiiver-ture, the negro liberator andfounder of the first Republic, ciiHayti, little known to the generalpublic, formed an admirable sub-ject for a Phinket Ttfedal orationand worthily treated by Miss Zeno-crate- Henderson in the 1931 con-test on Saturday night secured thefirst place in the award of tliejudges. The oration is now pre- jsented to a wider audience.Ie tho whole range of human history

there are few lives so romantic, few soinspiring as that of Toussaint L'Ouver-ture, the negro slave who broke thechains which bound his brethren, whodefeated Napoleon's best troops led byone of the ablest of .Napoleon's greatgenerals, established a prosperous negrorepublic in his West Indian island homeof Hayti, and who, through it all, neverfor a moment deviated from the narrowpath of high principle, never sacrificedhis idealism, never lost his spirit of

charitable toleration, nor allowed his

enthusiasm to carry him over thebounds of a wise prudence. Yet, 1should not bo surprised if the name otToussaiut L'Ouverture is to most o±my hearers nothingbut a lianie.;It is the lot of some men so to cap-

ture the world's imagination that theirmemory is for ever enshrined in thegrateful hearts of a people, their nameswritten indeliblyon the scroll of fame.Others who have striven as nobly,achieved as much, or failed as glorious-ly are forgotten almost before theirlives are done and their work com-pleted. Such a man was ToussaintI/Ouverture. His nobility of charac-ter, his fervent idealism, his indomit-able perseverance, quite apart from hisundoubted genius for diplomacy, mili-tary strategy and statesmanship^shouldsuffice to make his name live in theworld's memory as an inspiration anda dream. Yet bis name has fadedfrom the roll of fame, and the veryremembrance of him is passing from theearth. There is no biography of himwritten by a sympathetic writer. Hehimself left no written record. Wemust glean the story of his life fromthe reluctant testimony of Britons,Frenchmen, and Spaniards—men whodespised him as' a negro and a slaveand hated him because he had beatenthem in many a battle. The only storyof his life we have is from the lips ofenemies. Yet it is astory as arrestingand inspiring as any that has ever beentold.

THE SLAVES OF HAYTI.His name rang out just over a hun-

dred years ago from an island in theAtlantic Ocean, Hayti in the West In-dies. It was an island about as "bigas Wellington Province with a popula-tion of-a million, of which over nine-tenths were blacks. But these werenot the natives of the island. Everyyear hundreds of ships

_came loaded

with Africans torn from their homes,loaded with chains, and sold themto therich planters of Hayti. There, doomedto slave while life lasted on the sugarplantations, they were subjected to suchmurderous cruelties that their numbers'fell,by25,000a year. . But theplanterscared not. There was a. constant sup-ply of fresh slaves from AfricuIt was out of the heart of this miser-

able people, up from the^ depths of thispitiless world that L'Ouver-:tv j came. He was a negro, the sonof an African chief,who had been cap-tured and sold into slavery. He grewup among all its horrors. He saw thelow, foul huts in which the life of hisrace was ebbing slowlyaway. He heardtile crack of the driver^ whip whenthe tired bodies could do no more. Hesaw them bowed down in unutterabledespair beneath a merciless tyranny.

Abraham Lincoln, looking on atslavery, said of it, "If over I get achance to hit that thing, I will hit ithard." Toussaint, living in the chainso£ slavery, endured and waited histime. ,

He was not strong; yet he made him-self the best swimmer, rider, and hun-ter on the island. He spoke only Afri-can, but studied till. he knew bothFrench and Latin. At the age of 54,he could not read, but gave a handfulof coins to a Portuguese soldier, whotaught him to read and write. Thenhe read such works as Bpictetus, Mili-tary Memoirs, Plutarch's "Lives."He studied the history of his ownpeople.

THE FKENCH BEVOLUTION.Then came the French Revolution.Its motto of "Liberty, Equality, andFraternity" rang to the ears of Europe,

and the echoes at last reached Hayti.The negroes sent a deputation to theleaders of the revolution in Paris ask-ing for their liberty. In reply the re-publican leaders sent a half-caste negrowho had risen to eminence in France,bearing a proclamation, giving libertyto all the people of Hayti. The Gov-ernment of the island received themessagewith rage, tore it up, andtrampled it underfoot. The messengerthey tortured to death, and thenwreaked their horrible vengeance onthe negro leaders. . Goaded to actionby the insane cruelty of the planters,the negroesrose in revolt.Toussaint looked on, gravely moved,yet reluctant to plungeinto the horrorsof warfare. Then, seeing there wasno other path to freedom, he joinedthenegro army. It was not long before"hewas in command. Thore followed fiveyears of warfare. Toussaint was neverdefeated, was never vindictive, ' nevershed blood needlessly. When, afterfive terrible years, the leaders in Parisforced the planters to give full libertyto the negroes, they made ToussaintDeputy-Governor. The French Gover-nor retired to France after a fewmonths, and Toussaint was left in fullcommand.

THE STATESMAN TOTJSSAINT.This man, a slave who had become a

soldier, was now faced with the task ofgoverning a million people, the major-ity of whom had just been freed fromslavery. Yet he showed a statesman-ship greater than his military genius, abroad-mindedness, a generosity, and aforesight hardly to be paralleled in thelives of our greatest statesmen.

His first great act was to issue a pro-clamation inviting the planters whomho had fought and beaten to come backand take up their old estates. Hisproclamation reads:

Sons of Hayti, come home. Wenever meant to take your houses andyour lands. Tho negro only asks forthat liberty which God gave him.Your houses wait for you. Yourlands are ready. Oonie and culti-vate them.And from London and Paris, from

Madrid and Baltimore, the planters re-turned under the pledged word of aformer negro slave—and the pledgo wasnever broken.

Then Toussaint turned to theNegroes, poor, ill-clad, and half-starved,and said: "Go back to these estatesthat you have conquered; for an Empirecan be founded only on order and in-dustry, and you can learn those virtuesonly there." They wentl

This was in theyear 1800, when theEnglish statute book was still marredwith intolerance, when no man couMenter Parliament unless he belonged tothe Church of England. Yet Toussaint j

(himself a Catholic) said to the com-mittee he had set up to draft his newlaws: "Make it the first line of myConstitution that I know no differencobetween religious beliefs."It was the first year of last century,

nearly 50 years before Sir Robert Peelestablished Free Trade in England. YetToussaint, an uneducated Negro, wiserthan the leading statesmen of his time,established Free Trade in Hayti.

The next two years were years ofunparalleled prosperity. Peace was inevery household, the plantationsflourished again, and the commerce ofthe world was represented in the har-bours of Hayti; But in France, asNapoleon became increasingly powerful,he turned his eyes across the Atlantic.He reduced Cayenne and Martiniqueback to slavery. Then he turned tohis council aid said: "What shall I dowith Hayti?"

"Sir, leave it alone. It is thehappiest spot in your dominions," re-plied one who had been there.

NAPOLEON'S INFAMY.Napoleon turned aside and said, "I

have 60,000 troops. I must find themsomething to do." What he thoughtwas, "I am about to seize the crown.I dare not do this in the face of 60,000Republican troops. I must find themwork at a distance." Sohe sent 35,000of his^best troops to re-introduce slaveryinto Hayti. Holland lent him 60 ships.England promised to remain neutral,and America, full of slaves,1 was, ofcourse, hostile to the Negroes. AsToussaint watched the 60 ships of theline approach, he burst out with abroken heart: "All France is comingto Hayti. They can only come to makeus slaves. All is lostI" But he didnot submit. He collected his forces,and issued his great proclamation:

"My children, France comes to makeus slaves. God gave us liberty;Francehas no right to take it .away. Burnthe cities, destroy the harvests, tearup the roads with cannon, poison thewells, show the white man the hell heconies to make."

The French general, 'seeing howstrong a foe Toussaint was, tried towin him over. He offered him the postof first Captain-General of Hayti, andpromised riches and honour if he wouldnot oppose the French army, but hopreferred to become an outlaw. Terriblefighting followed. Toussaint showedeven greater military genius thanbefore, fighting in ravines, draggingcannon by the edges of"precipices, in-spiring his men with hi? magical elo-quence, leading them to victory. TheFrench were beaten in every encounter.Then Tpussaint sent them this message:"I could continue the struggle for

years, could prevent a single French-man from safely quitting your camp,but I hate bloodshed.' I have foughtonly for the liberty of my race.Guarantee that. I will submit andwme in." .

VICTIM OF TREAOHEEY.He took the oath that he would be a

faithful citizen. On1 the same, crucifixthe French general swore he should befaithfully protected, and that,the islandshould be free. Toussaint-returned tohis house in peace. But the Frenchnever intended to keep their word.They summoned Toussaint to attend acouncil. He went. The moment heentered the room,, twenty,officers facedhim with drawn swords, and told himhe was a prisoner. He was put on aship and sent to France. As the islandfor which he had done so much fadedfrom sight, ho turned to his captorsand said: "You think you have rootedup the tree of liberty, but I am only abranch; I planted the tree so deep thatall France can never root it up.". DEATH IN A DUNGEON.

Napoleon had him cooped up in astone dungeon twelve feet by twentyfeet, with one narrow window lookingout over the snows of Switzerland. Inwinter ice covered the floor, in summerit was damp and wet. Here the childof the sunny tropics was left to die.He wrote to Napoleon pleading forjustice. Napoleon replied by reducinghis food allowance. Even in this cruelcaptivity, Toussaint did not lose hisnobility of character. He sent wordto his son: "My son, you will some;day go back to Hayti. Forget thatNapoleon murdered your father." StillToussaint did not die quickly enoughfor Napoleon. He orderefl the gaolerto go into Switzerland for four daysand take the dungeon keys with him.When he returned Toussaint was founddead—starved to death.

But Toussaint was right—the tree ofliberty that he had planted in Haytiflourished. Seven months after hisdeath the last ragged remnants ofNapoleon's proud army of 35,000menfled from Hayti. Toussaint had notdied in vain.

This is the story of ToussaintL'Ouverture as we may hear it fromthe lips of his enemies. . Even Hermona,the Spanish general who fought againsthim for years,said: "He was the purestsoul God ever put into a body."It would be foolish to attempt to

praise his virtues and his valour. Themere story of his life is more eloquentthan any words of praise. We can buthope that so long as men go to thepast to wonder at the pathos andromance of great vicissitudes of fortuneor to win an insight into the humanforces that move the world, there willnot perish from the earth the memoryof the great soldier, statesman, andmartyr, Toussaint L'Ouverture, thesaviour of his people and the admira-tion of his enemies.

COURT OF ARBITRATIONCANNOT COPE WITH WORK

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)AUCKLAND, 21st July.

"I am really distressed at having toput off some of these country fixtures,"commented Mr. Justice Frazer at theopening of tho Arbitration Court atAuckland, wheu a Gisborne case wasmentioned. "Perhaps they will get anew Court one of these days, and thenwo will bo 'able to get through thework." ,

The Court has a longer list of fix-tures to attend to this session than isusually the case, for thereason that inaddition to a large batch of compensa-tion cases, close on 40 applications forexemption from the wages "cut" haveto be disposed of. Two applicationsfor new awards have been filed, butone relating to the Auckland abattoirand freezing workers has been referredby the consent of the parties to Wel-lington and" finajly to Christchurch,where a special session of the Courtwill bo held.

GRAND NATIONAL HURDLES.■ Tha field: for the-. , Grand.

A'comparison of the weights given inthe Grand National Hurdles, WinterHurdles,and Great Northern Hurdles-maybe worth while, and is given, as follows:

opinion of the respective handicappers,but there is a tendency on the part of thelliccarton adjuster to slip Mister Gamp,Amorist, Lucess,Full Mark, and Llyn Dvdown a step or two. Carinthia'a11.6,onthe other hand,was not altogether expect-ed in view of his disappointing showingunder 11.4 in the Winter Hurdles,but it isapparent that no undue chance is yetgoing to be taken with him. Nuknrnaireads to be very well treated with 10.11,certainly 101b above what he carried tosuccess in the Winter Hurdles, but only21b more than he had in the Great North-ern Hurdles, inwhich he finished:fourth,and 21b less than he had in last year'sGrand National, in which he also.finishedfourth. It'waB1noted in a review of theWinter'Hurdles that the Wellington han-dicapper had taken a bigrisk with him,but it would seem that the Canterburyhandicapper:.haß not judged fit to makeany marked advance in his basic weight;the rise bejng mostly the penalty for Sat-urday's win. .''■' ■■."".■.,.■"Not on"Trentham Form.

The group between,nine stone and .tenstone. contain several prospects, and prob-ably the best of them are High Pitch,Singleton, Membo,and Full Mark.

High Pitch and Singleton were the twodisappointments of the Winter Hurdles,for which they were the.public choice,butit may be safely asserted that neither wafeseen at his.best. High Pitch was notsent -.along till much,too late;, and Single-ton was very injudiciouslyrushed up fromthe-back to'the Van the first time throughthe straight, where the going was atrocious-ly''bad,i.arid therefore was deprived ;ofwhatever chance "he"possessed.

DIFFERENCE IN OPINION

One of*,the..points in the handicappingthat it..was not easy to.understand at therecent Wellington Meeting was the adjust-ment' in "Weight as between' Paris andWest Dome. -Prior to the meetingParishad won twice over,the country, and WestDome only'oirce. On thefirs'tday at Trent-harii.West -Dome;.;won the Matai HackSteeplechase', in which?"only" three horseflfinished,and "'Paris added the WellingtonSteeplechase to his record. -That was theposition the handieapper had to face inissuing the second day's handicaps.

In the Mariri Hack Steeplechase he plac-ed West Dome and Paris on the samemark-'(11.9)^ West Dome accepted, andwonj .but Paris did not have his engage-ment continued.

TOXEUMA'S SAFE RECORD

The Winter Cup; the big flat tniler atthe■Catt'terburjr.'Jockey Club's Grand Nal-tibnal'Meetiiig/was instituted in 1899,butuntil last year no horse.had ever won therace with'eleven stone or over. Toxeumathen smashed- all precedents by carrying11.5 to victory three lengths ahead of hisnearest rival. Two sons .of Stepniab,Vladimir (1903) and Kremlin (1905), eachwith 10.12,held the record up till lastyear. ■ -Toxcuma's name cannot be removedfrom the record list this yeai-, as the top-weight that has been allotted is only 10.8,to tho Southlander,Palermo. Under thenew rule adopted by the Conferenceatits annual meeting last week the minimumweight in the Winter Cup iv future yearswill probably be reduced to the permis-sible eight stone, so that Toxcuma's re-cord may now stand for all time,

It has also been revealed that cer-tain Englishcourses have not been survey-ed and measured for centuries,and, withalterations made to the tracks, barriers^have been shifted backwards or forwards,'while' the winning post has remained inthe same place.

The question, therefore, of making acomparison "of time records as betweenEnglish, American, Australian, and NewZealand racing can be reftauled as wellnigh valueless so far as accuracyis con-cerned.The following w a list of time recordsfor six principal distances in England andAustralia:—'

RUSSIAN PRODUCTS

IMPORTS TO DOMINION ,PROHIBITION SUGGESTED

At the meeting of the council of the!Wellington- Chamber of Commercelastevening, Mr. John Myers brought upthe report of a committee in regard tothe importation of Bussian products^and recommending the prohibition ofsuch imports.

"For some time," reported the com-mittee, "there lias been concern intrading circles as to the effects of theEussian .Five-year Plan, not only in re-spect of importations.into the Domin-ion, but also as to the marketing ofEussian products at dumped prices intowhat are the usual markets for NewZealand products abroad. Definite pro-nouncements appear to have been madeby those concerned or' associated withthe putting into operation of the Five-year Plan that it is not to be concernedonly with the internal reorganisationof Bussia,but will also be a challengein its successfulissue to the economicsystems of other countries, includingthose of the British Empire.

"While importations of Eussiangoods into New Zealand have not asyet been of consequence there havebeen very upsetting effects felt alreadyin the United Kingdom, where themajor ,portion of New Zealand's pro-ducts are marketed, and the matter is.one which the commercial communitiesof the British Empire cannot view withunconcern. The \ Canadian ■ Govern-ment, it is to be mentioned, has takenaction and proclaimed an embargoagainst the entry of certain Eussianproducts in order to prevent the de-struction of some of Canada's_ indus-tries. Large quantities of Eussian pro-ducts have been marketed in the Unit-ed Kingdom, and a- large increase isshown in items of Eussian manufac-ture imported,into Britain; a very muchlesser value of British-made goods hasbeen taken in return, and amongstthese raw materials bulk largely.

''The credits thus created on behalfof Eussia in the United Kingdom haveapparently been utilised to purchasefrom other countries machinery andother items to, equip the JPive-yearPlan.,Amongst the other countries which havebeen especially favoured for purchasesby Eussia is to be mentioned the Unit-ed States of America, and it is to benoted that the Chamber of Commerceof the State of New York has adopteda resolution "that the importation ofcommodities produced within the boun-daries of the Union of Socialist SovietEepublics is detrimental to the publicinterest, and should be discontinued,'and has conveyed such opinion to theUnited States Government.

"In view of the menacing effect ofthe Five-year Plan outside Eussia (andits operations can affect detrimentallythe British Empire), the meeting heldof these committees of the WellingtonChamberfelt that action' by the vari-ous Governments should be consideredat an . early date, especially amongstthe constituent units of the British Em-pire, and the following, resolution wasadopted: 'In view of the fact ihatSoyiot Eussia has adopted a policy ofrepudiation of international debts andthe confiscation of property; these com-mittees recommend to the council ofthe Wellington Chamber that represen-tations be mado to the. Governmenturging that goods emanating from Bus-eia be prohibited from entry into thisDominion.' ""'■.■

THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN.-Mr. A.. Jacobs raised the question

as to whether the recommendation ofthe committee was not too sweeping.

Mr. ■E. E. Binder admitted ;that;-itwas sweeping, but he thought drasticaction was required. - "'Mr. W. 8.. Matheson said he wasstartled at first. 'While no was a FreeTrader, he admitted that in times ofemergencyextraordinary steps had tobe taken. He would like to know.tinprinciple on which the recommendationwas made; ■ '.'.''

The chairman (Mr. J. P. PeaweLuke) replied that the recommendationwas one of expediency rather than oneof policy. "'...-.Mr. Jacobs- moved that' the report bereferred back to the.committee. .

Mr..A. P. Harper, of the WelfareLeague, then addressed the meeting on"The Eussian Five-year Plan." Hepointed out that the programme adopt-ed by the last world" congress of theCommunist International forecasted"the violent overthrow in the worldof the entire traditional social order."The carrying out of this policy calledfor two essential tasks, namely, "(1)To strengthen what the Bolshevists call'the base1 of tho world revolution '—that is to1,say,.the territory of? theSoviets;;(2) to sap tho foundation uponwhich other countries repose, in-orderto destroy and bring those countiesinto a universal Eepublic of the Sov-iets.'" Everything, so far as the Bol-shevist power was concerned was sub-ordinated to those two objectives, andthat fundamental truth must be stead-ily kept in mind in examining any ac-tivity of the Soviet power. He consid-ered that the scheme was ultimatelydoomed to failure, but in the meantimeit' was, to some extent upsetting theworld's trade. , .

Tho committee's recommendation wasadopted. " .

ESPERANTO CLUB.

The weekly meeting of the WellingtonEsperanto Club took place last night inthe V.M.C.A., Mr. E. C. Jack presiding.Allusion was made to the great progressEsperanto was making in scientificcircles,where organisations were using the lan-guagein the publication of reports andtreatises. The first portion of the even-ing was devoted to instruction, the mem-bers,being, divided into groups,under thetuition of experienced members. In thesecond portion a debate took place inEsperanto on "Should Children have HomeWork from School?" a subject whichproved very interesting. The con-cluding item was an original Esperantocomedy,. entitled "Kiam la Tele£ono So-noris," the roles being played by MissCoralieSrnyfchson, Mr. Joseph Major, andthe club secretary, Mr. Bertram Potts.

SAILORS' FRIEND SOCIETY.

COIN COLLECTORS

A SOCIETY FORMED

NUMISMATIC HISTORY

Coin collectors may not be as numer-ous as stamp collectors, but they arojust as enthusiastic about their hobby.There are ill the Dominion quite anumber of coin collectors and severalcollections of great value! In fact, atthe inaugural meeting of the NewZealand Numismatic Society in Wel-lington, on Monday, it was stated thatprivate collections in the Dominion in-cluded some coins which were, not,-inthe British Museum. ■ One Aucklandcollector was said to claim the largestcollection south of theLine, anda Wel-lington enthusiast has a collection offGreek coins which was said to equalany in the world.

This meeting adopted rules govern-ing the now, society and decided .tohold quarterly meetings,.atwhich coin,collections will bo displayed and, mat-ters of interest to collectors discussed.

The following officers were elected:—President, Eev. D. C. Bates,. : Welling-'ton; vice-presidents, Sir John Hanham,Wellington, Messrs. A. J. Entrican,'Auckland, and E. K. Cameron,Hawera;secretary, Mr. Allan Sutherland,^Wel-lington; treasurer, Mr. H. H. Aster,'Wellington; corresponding' secretary,Mr. Allan Sutherland; council, Messrs.E. Gilbertson, Johannes C. Andersen,Dr. Elliott, S. P. Ward, and H. B. Ford.

"Mr. Bates delivered an address.:oncoinage through the ages, displayingat the same time specimens from hiscollection. Civilisation, he said, ulti-mately resolved itself into the dis-covery and supply of wants, and there-fore coinage as the medium of ex-change in supply and demand afforded,a cine to knowledge by which to.gaugethe life of men in various ages andcountries. On pieces of metal -madeand handled by men of remote- ageswe had an enduring testimony as, to:the politics, commerce, religion, domes-tic life, and arts of the past. ■ Gold,silver, copper, iron, tin, pewter, nickel,-and evensalt had been used as mediumsof trade, credit, and thrift. At first',they were valued by weight as.a com-modity, article of utility, or as;orna-ments. Tools and goods used in barter'became represented in coinage.

Coinage really commenced about 7008.C., said Mr. Bates, but attained itshighest development with Grecian cul-ture about three hundred'years .later.Mr. Bates exhibited a coin or medal-lion of Syracuse, coined to commemo-rate the victory of the Syraeusans overthe Athenians in 413 B.C. For many,years these coins were given as prizesat the annual competitions held^tocommemorate that event. Alexander,the Great had recoined all the moneyofthe lands he conquered, and his coinstherefore were not so rare. On thedeath of Alexander his empire wassplit up, and the coins of Ptolemy, whosucceeded to the Egyptian dominion,showed a decline. Greek coins had;even to-day, the same names andcharacters of former issues. Bomaacoinage developed about 300 B.C. Thisfirst was of copper, such as. the well-known "as."

The speaker dealt with the decadenceof coinage in the days of the later,■Eastern Empire. The Boman coinagein Britain was an, interesting study,;bnt. after the Romans left it fell intodecay, he said. After exhibiting thinflat coins of the Middle Ages—groats,pence, golden nobles, and angels—Mr.Bates referred to the more modernissues,such as the :Spanish .piece'ofeight, which was.more freely circu-lated in Australia and in New Zealandin the early ■ days than■ were Britishcoins. The traders' tokens—penniesand halfpennies—issued. by New Zea.land, traders to make' up for theshortage in British coins were also re-viewed. . . .'.'.....' v'

PASSING PARKED CARSMOTORISTS MUST GO SLOW,

That- motorists passing stationary}cars' must do so at such a speed that ifa person steps out from behind onethe driver can avoid him was the vievr,expressed by Mr. W. H. Woodward,S.M., at the Magistrate's Conrt yester-day afternoon, when he convicted a",motorist on' a charge of driving-,in/amanner which. might have been,;dan-gerous to the public. The caße arosqfrom an accident in Willis street when!a pedestrian stepped out from behind*stationary vehicle and was knockeddown by a car. In entering the con-viction the Magistrate remarked thafifewas not a case of driving in a mannerwhich might have been dangerous talthe public, but one of negligent driT*ing. . ■ - : ■ ~

NERVE WEAKNESS.Very few men or women go througK

life without an attack of nerves. Thereare those who uecogniso at oeco thattheir irritation, restlessness,and depres-sion are signs of nerve starvation, and,without delay, start to rectify thotrouble by feeding their nerves with,new rich blood, thereby escaping a se«vere breakdown. For if the complaintadvances, twitchings, sleeplessness,headaches, backaches, and vague fore-bodings soon become apparent.

The treatment o£ nerve weakness^however mild or sevcro, calls for nutri*tiou of tho nervous system by the blood.Enrich your blood with Dr. Williams'Pink Pills and you at once give yourstarved nerves the elements they crave.Thesepills have remarkable blood build-ing powers, and quickly give increasedenergy, keen appetite, steady nerves,and generoushealth.

Begin now to brace yourself up bytaking Dr. AVilliams' Pink Pills. Ofchemists and stores—nothing else- willdo.—Advt.

IMPERIAL STEWARDSHIPWhen the Prime Minister returned

from London six months ago he hadnot much to/ say about the missionwhich had taken him away, norwould the country have heen in themood to listen to him if he had.But he is to be congratulatedupon the . full report of thework of the Imperial Confer-ence which he submitted to theHouse of Representatives yesterdayand upon the opportunity which helias provided for its complete dis-cussion. These reports have toooften been withheld until membershad reached the climaxof .exhaustionand impatience at the close of asession and were far less concernedabout the fate of the Empire thanabout the date of their release. Onthis occasion the Prime Minister hasnot only brought down his reportbefore the first month of the sessionhas closed, but he has not grudgedihe continuance to-day of a debatewhich was not concluded at the risingof the House yesterday. The debatehad certainly taken a very widerange, and at times the broad issueswere obscured by strangely irrelevantand quite, insignificant minutiae. Butit was a valuable debate nevertheless,and the Empire so rarely receives theattention of the House, except whenthe breach of some plain Imperialduty becomes a burning issue, as itdid during the debates ■on defencepolicy last session, that a freedomof discussion which was neverdeliberately abused was verywelcome.

The principal work ofthe ImperialConference provides little, .if any,material for controversy in anyrepresentative assembly in New Zea-land, and the same may be said ofthe Prime Minister's attitude towardsit. On the eve of his departure lastyear he undertook to maintain "thetraditional. altitude of New Zealandtowards the United Kingdom."

We value very highly our continuedassociation with the Mother Country, hesaid, and it is our wish to maintainthis association as close and as inti-.in&te as poerible, both politically andeconomically. Wo have no complaintsand no demands. ... We have not inany way beeu embarrassed by the termsof our association with. His Majesty'sGovernment in the- United Kingdom,nor have we been restricted in thecontrol of our affairs.

This is not the kind of note that wehad been hearing from ■ otherDominions which, ever since ad-mission to the Peace Conference andthe League of Nations had swollentheir heads, lost no chance of exalt-ing themselves and weakening theImperial tie. But it was just the notethat Mr. Coates had consistentlysounded on similar occasions, and hewas only doing exactly what hadpreviously been doneby Mr. Massey.

Referring to this undertaking,which nobody can allege that hedid not faithfully carry out, Mr.'Forbes added yesterday:—

On this occasion,as I believe in thepast, the New Zealand representativeswero disposed rather to deprecate tfianto assist in the crystallising of thepowers and duties involved in what isknown as "Dominion status."

The only , objection that could betaken to Mr. Forbes's treatment ofthis point at the Conference is thathe did not express the Dominion'sobjection to this tinkering and dis-integrating process strongly enough.Mr. Coates had counselled a morecritical attitude to the Expert Com-mittee's report than Mr. Forbes hadsuggested inhis statement in Augustlast, and it seemed to us that hispoints were important and sound.But that the best advocacy in theworld could not have altered the re-sult is perfectly clear, and it isequally certain that the Prime Min-ister is right in his contention thatno good purpose would be served bya necessarily, ineffective protest atthis stage. Not only has he recordedNew Zealand's formal protest at theImperial Conference,but he hassecured for it all the practical ef-.feet which she was entitledto expect.The immense powers of virtually Im-perial and perhaps conflicting legis-lation which, without regard to thelimitations of the Colonial LawsValidity Act or of the common law,are to be conferred upon the otherDominions by the Statute of West-minster will be excluded from animmediate application to New Zea-land by a clause inserted at herPrime Minister's request, i |

Notwithstanding the coining intooperation of the Statute of Westmins-ter, he said, the position in New Zea-'land will, as a result of this savingclause,not be-affected in any way un-less and Until the New Zealand Par-liament decides to apply the Statuteof Westminster to this Dominion. Thereis no necessity to -consider this ques-tion now. We can at our leisure de-cide for ourselvesy at a later date,whether or not, or how far, we de-cide to accept the position that hasnow developed.

A point of.such grave importancecertainly demands a much more care-ful consideration than the presentParliament could possibly give it.

Regarding the economic side of jthe Imperial Conference nobody islikely to challenge the opinion ofMr. Forbes lhat it was "not an exag-geration to say that 1lie Conferencewas very largely a failure." Tintlie errs in the opposite direction loexaggeration when lie describes lliealtitude of the British Government as"perhaps not unexpected." TheBritish Government's belief in Free

Trade was as notorious as the be-lief of all the Dominion Govern-ments in Protection, and if any ofthe Dominion delegates expectedanything but a head-on collision as aresult of their demands they had nojustification at all for doing so.What greater right had they to expectthe British Government to back downthan it had to expect the same ofthem? As Mr. Downie Stewart ad-milled in his moderately stated butpointed criticism of Mr. Forbes's at-titude, the Dominions had a per-fect right to state iheir views as tothe best means of developing Empiretrade, and to state them as stronglyas possible. But .when they wentfurther and censured the BritishGovernment and attacked its FreeTrade policy they put themselves off-side, and the blunder was the moreunfortunate because matter wasthen a burning question in Britishpolitics, and their remarks wereeagerly seized on by Empire Crusa-ders for electioneering purposes.

The unfortunate results of thesetactics, were well stated by Mr.Stewart. 'Suchscolding of the Imperial Govern-'ment by the Dominions, he said, wasnot likely to create that atmosphere ofunderstanding in which a.veal basis ofagreement could bo reached. A coun-terpart of the attitude adopted by somewould be provided were the Conferenceheld in Australia or Now Zealand, andthe British Government asked us to re-move our Customs tariffs. . . . IfGreat Britain were to be coerced, as itappeared some Dominions attempted toforce her, niore- harm than good wouldaccrue.While conceding that Mr. Forbes wasnot themost conspicuous of theseoffenders, Mr. Stewart did not acquithim. of blame. It was indeed theonly serious mistake to mar the ex-cellence of Mr. Forbes's ImperialConference record, and in view ofthe broader outlook resulting fromthat experience he is certainly notlikely to repeat it.

BROADCASTING CONTROL

It was officially announced lastyear that the Government had de-cided not to renew the Radio Broad-casting i Company's licence. Thatlicence expires at the end of thisyear, and in order to substitute a newsystem of control legislation mustbe passed by Parliament this session.Such legislation was promised forearly in the session, but so far it hasnot appeared. We trust that this isnot to be a repetition of the oft-obseryed Parliamentary practice—delay until the.lastminute and thenhasty action because the need forurgency is.at last perceived. If theGovernment's legislative proposalsare ready—and we see no excuse forunreadiness since the decision tochange-control was made long ago—they.should be submitted at once.Parliament isnot busy and couldgivethem adequate consideration beforethe introduction of the Budget. Earlyapproval of the legislation is essen-tial also to; permit the new methodof control to be established in readi-ness for use when the licence expires.The public will not lightly excuseanything makeshift on the plea thatthere has been no time to evolvesomething better. There is still ampletime for action, but no time to waste.

What method of control will besubstituted for that now existing isnot disclosed. There has been somediscussion suggesting that the choiceis between Government control andprivate enterprise, or, as it is statedin some quarters—Government con-trol and private sheltered monopoly.At the outset we should like to cor-rect the wholly erroneous impressionthat a change in the present systemis "interference with private enter-prise." Radio broadcasting is not"private enterprise" in the usual ac-ceptance of the term. Acompany hasbeen authorised by the Governmentto provide the service for a term ofyears. Its revenue is not dependentsolely on its own enterprise, and thatrevenue is collected for it by theState, exercising penal powers forthe purpose. It is quite misleadingunder these conditions to representany departurefrom company controlas a further Government intrusion inbusiness. The aim of the changeshould be not protection of anyvested interest (for there is no realinterest vested) but provision of thebest service for those who pay fees.In ordinary circumstances such anaim would suggest Government con-trol; but this, if possible, should beavoided, firstly, on the principle ofavoiding extension of Governmentactivity, and, secondly, to secure ab-solute freedom from any suggestionof political control.. Fortunately theexperience of Great Britain has pro-vided us with an example to followwhich' avoids both Government con-trol and the creation of a profit-mak-ing interest. The British Broadcast-ing Corporation, brief particulars ofwhose constitution and powers aregiven in our news columns to-day,assures to listeners a full return fortheir fees and expert, well-directedmanagementof the service. The suc-cessful operation' of this method inGreat Britain should leave us in nodoubt as. to what method'to adopthere.

DEFINING DERATING

Though derating of rural lands isone of the Reform Party's gevenpoints, little attempt has so far beenmade to sayhow'thisshallbe broughtabout. Speaking in Taranaki, how-ever, Mr. Ansell suggested that theMain Highways Act would providethe basis. He submitted that if lhatAct had been continued, rural rate-payers would now be receiving sub-stantial relief, but that they had beendeprived of this by the United Go-vernment's diversion of extra petroltax proceeds to the ConsolidatedFund. We cannot agree with'thiscriticism, nor approve the deratingsystem which, by implication, it pro-poses. The Government did not di-vert petrol taxes,but substituted extrapetrol tax revenue for the subsidieswhich had formerly come from thegeneral taxpayer through the Con-

solidal.ed Fund. Except as concernedthe charge for interest on past loans(which was quite unjustifiable), theGovernment action was not open !.oobjection on principle. It was, how-ever, quite ' unsound in method, aswe stated at llie time.

The same objection applies to Mr.Ansell's proposal to introduce ruralderating by development of the MainHighways Act with continued Go-vernment subsidies and new roadtaxes. It is quite reasonable to placea fair share of road maintenance onthe road user in order to give reliefto the ratepayer. But this methodcannot be applied further on the in-equitablebasis of die Highways legis-lation. Under that legislation motorsrunning in town and country payequally, but the revenue derived isnot apportioned according to roaduse. ■ The major part goes lo thecountry. The rural 'ratepayer hasmore relief than the urban.* Userpayment for roads means partial de-rating, but the measure of deratingshould be even as between town andcountry. If such derating is intro-duced as part of a new transportsystem it can be approved. But thework must be done thoroughly. Itmust not be a patchwork businesswhich will leave motor-used townroads still largely a charge on rale-payers and give full control of user-provided revenue lo county councilselected by derated ratepayers.

A GOOD LEAD

Public" opinion will endorse theaction of Reform ' supporters inHurunui in deciding not to nominatea candidate to oppose Mr. Forbes.Approval will be expressed also ofthe reasons given by the CanterburyDivisional Executive of the ReformParty:—

At the present time it is desirableto retain the services of those par-liamentarians, irrespective of party,who have shown their willingness andability to take a course of action whichwill assist in bringing tho conditionsof ourprimary and secondary industriesinto a better state than that >unfortun-ate one in which they stand to-day.

We hope that the United Part)' willgive practical proof of its approvalby adopting the suggestion not tonominate a candidate against theLeader of the Opposition. We seenoreason for restricting this applica-tion of a partial truce to the twoleaders. On both sides of the Housethere are members who have givenhonest and courageous national ser-vice. If a National Party cannot beformed (and the-hope grows less asihe election draws near) at least theparties can agree lo consider somecandidates as truly national.

NEWS OF THE DAYYesterday In Parliament. " .

I'urcly local politics were eschewedin tli'o House ,of 'Representatives yes-terday, when tlio broader subject ofImperial affairs, and. in particular thequestions -which were deliberated uponat the 1930 Imperial Conference, wasopened up. The debate,.winch occu-pied the whole of the afternoon andevening, was initiated by the PrimeMinister in a general outline of thework of the Conference. No otherparty leaders took part in the discus-sion. The principal speaker from theReform side of the House was the Hon.W. Downie Stewart, the Leader of theOpposition's first lieutenant, who de-precated the attitudes adopted by therepresentatives of,someof. the other Do-minions in "making the pace prettystrong," and so risking conflict and dis-unity, by criticising the attitudu of theOld Country on trade policy. In theensuing discussion the recommendationsof the Conference on Constitutionalquestions seemed to be fairly generallyapproved. On the economic side, how-ever, there was a good deal of discus-sion on the need for improving tho pre-sent system of marketing primary pro-duce, and' Labour speakers stronglycommended the idea of bulk purchase.The debate was not concluded,and wasadjourned overnight. :Cold in-'D'uiwdin. "Somo idea of tho cold weather inDunedin may be gained from the factthat, according to a private letter re-ceived in Wellington, the pond in theBotanical Gardens was recently frozenover, and employees were engaged inextracting stones, some of which wereas large as a man's head, that hadbeen frozen into the ice. Tor thiswork, which was described as beingunique for the Gardens, planks werespread across the pond, and the icewas thick enough to bear the pressureput upon it.

A Schoolboy's Thanks.The WellingtonRugby Union's policy

of distributing footballs among theprimary schools is evidentlyappreciatedby the youthful scholars, and amongthe many letters of thanks receivedin the course of a season the follow-ing somewhat quaintly worded epistle,read at' last night's meeting of theManagement Committee, is an ex-ample. A pupil of .the Pahautanuischool wiote as follows: —"Secrctaiyof the Ttugby Union: Dear Sir, wethank you very much for the footballwhich arrived here on the 3rd of June.When we blew it up wo found it veryeasy to kick into the aiv. We iullyappreciate it."

Married Women -Teachers.No further action concerning women

teachers in its employ is to be takenby tho Canterbury' ...Education Boardiit present, -in view of the test case"being hold in Auckland, in which theAuckland Education Board is obtain-ing a declaratory judgment on itsrights in the'niattcr (states the "Christchurch .Times")-"" 'The secretary of theboard (Mr.. C. R. Kirk) said- on Fri-d;.y that .there might be aboutten married women teachers whom theboard'" might regard as able to leavetho service without much hardship.Early last month the board sentletters to each of the women teachersconcerned,asking them to Bhow. causewhy'their engagements, should not beterminated. Replies have now been

received in which the teachers statetheir ease. Under the board therewere four cases of man and wife bothbeing employed as teachers, said Mr.Kirk. The 74 married women teachers;he said, "all gave their tale," ad-vancing a variety of reasons. Undertho present conditions wives receivingregular salary as teachers could easilyshow that their.income was tho mainsupport of . their families, since thehusbands,whether in business or farm-ing, were in a bad position financially.Tho cases as sot out showed thatmany of the husbands were farmers atpresent, tumble to meet, their pay-Tiients, or having to leave 1 hoi i- pro-pert ilk; others' were disabled andpensioned returned soldiers, whilemany were unemployed. In additionto these cases there wore those inwhich this wife was separated fromlior husband, or had been deserted.

"4Just Horse-Play." ;The excursionists who go to Ariihur's

Pass on Sundays are invariably "well-behaved, and when a carriago windowis broken it is just tho result ofgood-natured horse-play, says tho "Qhrist-;church Times." But when damage to:railway property is done it niUsrfcbepaid for, as a group, of young people';found to their cost yesterday. A sjiow-.;

ball crashed through the window' of acarriago because tho intended victimducked. Then the guard took a hand,and though ho had to put up witli «'good deal of banter, ho succeeded incollecting 12s 6d from tho members ofthe party. Tho guard was decidedlyout of, favour .with thoso young peoplefor tho remainder of tho day, but theywill probably be more careful .in theirsnowballing in future. Another win-dow in the same train was broken bya snowball just before it left Arthur'sPass on tho return trip, but the cul-prits could not be found. Some win-dows in the othor train were alsobroken.Southland Freezing Works.

The three freezing works in South-land, Makarewa, Mataura, and OcoanBeach ceased killing operations for theseason last week. The numbers ofstock handled constitute a provincialrecord, the total killings falling only-afew thousand head short of a million(says the "Southland Times"). It isbelieved that tho percentage of lambswill show a greater increase than* thatfor other classes,as the prices .offeringearly in the soasbn for ewes were sounattractive that very few wore sold tothe companies. The total increase fortho season is-in the vicinity of 20 percent. The Ocean Beach freezing workshave passed the 400,000mark, and withseveral thousand head still to beslaughtered it is -expected that theprevious record of 336,000head estab-lished last season will be >exceeded byabout 70,000; This is easily a recordfor any single works in Southland.

Dog Licks Milk Can.An unusual case was heard before

Sir. J. H. Salmon, S;M., on Mondaj',when a Wangaiiui milk vendor, CharlesO'Leary,:was charged with failing totake steps to provent milk from boingcontaminated (states a Wanganui cor-respondent). The milk was being de-livered.bya boy employee, who left acan with the lid tightly closed on thefootpath 'until he .served a custom or.with a billy. In the /interval a. dogcanio along and liabed;the edge of'the'lid. Mr. Brodie, for the defence, sub-mitted it was a co'trimon practice al-lowed in the Dominion to leave cans on-paths and also at;certain dumps for thedeliverers to pick up. .T-he Magistrate

7said it was a most undesirable practiceand must be*stopped. The saliva of adog licking a. tin might contain germs,of hydatids, and t^e; milkmight be con-taminated. As th&.case was broughtas a warning,' the dofendant was con-victed without a penalty being im-posed. . ■ ,' 'Engineers' Examinations.

The new regulations for ,the exam-ination of marine engineers embody pro-visions for tho issuing of motor certifi-cates of Imperial validity, and also forendorsements,and for-the issuing ofextra first-class engineers' certificates,the examinations for which will bo heldonly at Wellington, while examinationsfor sea-going steam and motor certifi-cates will be conducted onlyat tho fourmain centres. The annual report oftho..Wellington branch of the MarineEngineers' Institute comments as fol-lows:—"It is plainly evident that amore intense study will now be re-quired of candidates in the future tosecure a pass. This'in itself may, iiisomo instances, constitute a hardship,but ultimatelywill redound to thecreditand betterment of theprofession gener-ally." ■-■■■■

Tawa Flat Deviation.There are only some 600ft to drive

to link up the headings in tho longertunnel on the Tawa Flat deviation, andit is expected that the headings willmeet next month, or very early in Sep-tember, completing the piercing of thebig tunnel. The short tunnel, three-quarters of a mile long, is completed,includingthe concrete lining,and nearlya mile of concrete has been done in thelong tiinnel. The ramp'which is beingextended from the overbridgo to Kai-warra across the harbour has less than10 chains to link up with tho Kaiwarraend, but it iB only half its finishedwidth at present, and will not-bo com-pleted for twelve months. All the shortbridges to north of the Tawa Plat por-tal are finished. .

WARMER WEATHERA CHANGE IN EVIDENCE

Fine weather prevailed yesterday ineastern districts, b*ut the weather con-tinued somewhat changeable with scat-tered showers on the West Coast andin Otago and Southland. West to south-west winds have been strong at times,and have gradually decreased instrength. This morning temperatureswero considerably milder than- theyhave been.of late. All the chief cen-tres report fine-weather as having pre-vailed yesterday, in Wellington the daybeing one of uninterrupted sunshine.. A slight anti-cyclone now covers theDominion, but pressure is low to theeast of the South Island, and there isnow evidence of a cyclone to the westof Norfolk Island, -Hence northerlywinds may be expected north ofKawhia and East Cape, and these willfreshen and reach gale force in places.Elsewhere moderate to strong westerlywinds will gradually veer to northerlies.Although there may be still some scat-tered showers in the far south, mainlyfair weather should bo generally ex-perienced at first. But cloud and hazeare likely to increase. Bain will prob-.ably soon sot in in northern districts,and gradually extend southward. Tem-peratures will bn mild.

BROADCASTINGFUTURE OF. SERVICE

COWTROL BOARD ADVOCATED

XEED FOX EARLY ACTION

The i-opiy giv.eu Tjy the P-qstmaster-i■Generalyesterday to a .question in tie,House of .Representatives that ,-a state-:meut regarding the projected legisla-:tiou .dealingwith the future control of;'■broadcasting will be encouraging tto a!very large section of thepublic, for itjlias n.crw be-eome geneA'ally ir.calis.efl'that:the time has -come for the 'broadcast-jing service in ithis fio.imfcry, to ibe put;upon a rational ,an.d .satisfactory f.00.t-;ing. .. i

The■conditions to-day -.are.radically different;from those whifili .fixist.odin 1925,-whenthe present'system was inaugurated.Hesitation, .diplomacy., and .concessionlruled.-when'Si was a'matter ,oi .estab-^lishing the service.,.-andtiie, broadcast-'ing company".conseguently. .entered upon;the most "sh.elte;r,efl" .activity .in -.c-sist-ionce in the: .co.vn&y. !t-u ;atts .esistajoe.of ■sixyeao.-s it lias -received 'sßiTfcog'eiEb.er:something like £300,000, collected by'the Governmentwithout, trouble or costto the -company.;defaulters .are prose-cuted by the Government, and thismoneyhas "baen .dealt with bythe«'oni-jpany without any public revelation ofits methods or direction of expendi-ture.

WHAT POEM OF CONTROL?> The question that arises is^ of course,whiai form, of .controlvis to ibe> substi-tuted. To exdiajige fine form'of .pri-vate control for another suggests little.improvement. There,lias keen'a gooddoalof talk of the :inerit:>of ''privateenterprise," but the phrase cannot beused in the same sense as when com-petitive businesses arß under disenssiou.Broadcasting has been a franeliisedmorwrpoly. Under the existing condi-tions,, the monopoly., is so phenomen-ally'blessed that -every radio activitythat brings a new listener into the field,whafiher that activity has anything todo with tlie ,eoinpa«y!«r not, inevitablyswells its revenue.. '. 'Private enterprise in such conditionscannM do more for .the public than,anyother form o£ organisation; indeed, asit must consider its own interests, ithas to do less. . '■ Itis fairly obvious that the alterna-tives available are few. One is directGovernment control.'". Apart altogetherfrom tlic reluctance of any GovernmentDeparnmient to enter upon an activityso foreign to its experience and its lack-of qualifications .i'or certain, aspects ofthe work, few people will imaginethatsuch a system would be popular. It hasbeen raad<s plain, is- fact, that it/wouldnot. -Partial Government control, inwhich the P, and T. Department wouldtake charge of the technical side .of thework and lleavo the provision of pro-grammesto others, has been considered,and as the Postmaster-Genera! has in-dicated, has been abandoned. Its chiefweakness is. tho- dual control involved.

THE BKCTISH EXAMPLE. ; -Getting a-rt-ay altogether from Govern-ment administration, one method thathas been advocated, is the formationof a company^ of open membership,composed wholly''-. 9r mainly of -thosewhose interests are directly served bythe improvement of .the service. Thiswas the principle of the'original BritishBroadcasting-Connpariy,' which built upwhat was by commonconsent the finestbroadcasting sysrfcem in the world. . InJanuary,',l927, this companywas woundup arid transferred.its' duties to theBritish Broadcasting Corporation, aStato constituted authority "which has,with conspicuous success, carried onthe traditions of the old 8.8.C. Thisbody, has no affiliations with either conv-mercial or State interests..: It is com-posed of a small {£roup of people, allnotable for their pioblie spirit, who ad-minister the largo revenues availablefrom the" constantly growing number oflicence fees with the sole object of pro-viding the best service possible. Thecorporation is goverjied by five mem-bers. The chief executive (Sir JohnEeith, Direetor-Generfd), who was atthe head of the original 8.8.C, is as-sisted by departmental heads, who arealso members of the controlboard, andare thus kept in general touch Svith theservice as a whole.

Much might be said in' favour of theoriginal 8.8.C. form of control, butthe fact that it has been superseded inEngland and that the parties most in-timately concerned—the raydio trade in-terests—in this country eiyidently donot desire it, points strong]^ to the in-dependent "corporation" as the objec-tive. -In the circumstances' it is hardlypossible for the Postmastei"-General tooverlook its claim for firsfe considera-tion. <

"VITAL PRINCIPLES"CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

VIEW

A committee of the Wellington Cham-ber of Commerce reported to the cham-ber last evening on the Matter ofbroadcasting "control. It renewed theinformation obtained by it as the re-sult of interviews with the 'Secretary ofthe Post an(I Telegraph Dtejnartment(Mr. Or.M'Namara) and the GeneralManager of the Radio Broadcasting Co.(Mr. A. E. Harris). The committee re-marked that it was outside,lihe scopeof its investigation to consider whatform of control should bo adojpted, andit confined itself to considering ■ the"two vital principles": (1) Itho en-croachment by the Government furtherinto the field of private enterprise; and(2) the granting of a monopoly in apublic utility to private-internets. As-surances had been given that there wasno intention or desire on the. part ofthe Government or' any■' GovernmentDepartment to take the'place -of theBroadcasting Co. or to exorcise may fur-ther control than it does at present.

The following resolution was recom-mended for adoption:—

"That it be a recommendation fromthe Wellington Chamber of Commerceto the Government that in consideringthe question of the future control ofradio broadcasting in Now Zi?alan«l anysystem of control decided upon shilll notinvulvo any further encroachment bytho "Government into tho field cfC pri-vate enterprise; and thnt in the', eventof the British or Canadian systi&m ofcontrol being adopted proper safeguardsbe provided'against tho possibility ofany political control: and that iiu thoevent of a monopoly being graiitted. to

private interests more adequate safe-giuirds be imposed with regard to therestriction of profits and tho applicationof tho income.fromlicence fees than arccontained in the presentagreementwiththo Broadcasting Company."

The report aiicl resolution wereadopted.

WORK OF MUSEUMEDUCATIONAL AIMS

EXTENSION OF ACTIVITIES

(By W. E. B. Oliver.)'.Prominence Is given.in the "Even-

ingPast" of Saturday to two subjects.closely associated with the Dominion*Museum and its 'vrork. On is .the rela-tion of the museum to the NationalWar Memorial and the other the his-tory of the moas. In tho first casefipme further .explanation .seems .desir-able,,while, in the sec-ond,,reference tothe part played by , the DominionMuseum is .altogether emitted, Withaview to further elucidating these sub-jects I ask a little space to- explainbriefly some of the work performed bythe Dominion Museum and(its aims andobjects. .

Museums arc' educational institutions.dispensing knowledge of the world ofNature and art by the exhibition ofspecimens, by lectures, and by publica-tions. The exhibition of specimens, tobe made attractive and therefore hold.the interest of the visitor, requires aproper' setting.. , This has been impos-sible in the old wooden bulding, whichhas served its purpose for so long. Pro-per display lias been effectedin Ameri-can museums by tho> expenditure ofmuch money on buildings and . show-cases, and it is hoped that in the nottoo distant future the citizens of Wei-lington will possess in the new museumto he erected on the. Mount Cook sitean institution that, will rival the mod-ern museums of other countries, and sotake its propei1 part in the educationalsystem of New Zealand.'

LECTURES TO CHILDREN.Museum lectures usually take two

forms, one suitable for adults and the.other for .school children. It is with thelatter that I wish specially to deal justnow. Last year a series of lectures wasgiven by the stall of the museum toboys and girls from the primary andsecondary schools,but mainly for thelatter. Altogether some 2025 childrenreceived instruction in this way, andthe service was so appreciated that thecourse is being continued this year.Naturally this course is limited- owingto the1time which the preparation anddelivery of these lectures involves. Asthe children attend at the.'i museum tohear the lectures and see 'thev speci-mens illustrating them, only schools inor near the cityof .Wellington can takeadvantage' of the scheme. In order toreach more schools and carry .the workfurther afield preparations are in handto construct portable exhibits. These,accompanied by charts and printed lec-tures,-are intended for circulationamong schools. This work, however,can only take place slowly,as the gen-eral economic position is, of course,affecting the museum.'

SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS.TheDominion Museum has well main-

tained its position in the New Zealandscientific world as regards publications.Its officers have issued books and arti-cles in scientific journals on the Maori(Best, Hamilton), Geology (Ilector,M'Kay, Thomson), Botany (Oliver),Whales (Hector, Oliver), Birds (Hut-ton, Oliver), Fishes (Hector, Hutton,Phillipp3), Mollusca (Hutton, Mostayer,Oliver), Brachiogods.. (Thomson), andInsects (Hamilton, Castle). It was theDominion Museum and not Lydekker,as your leader states,, that provided theclassification of tho tuoas adopted inMr. Lindsay Buick's book, which hasvery deservedly created widespread in-terest in a remarkable group' o£ birds.It is hoped that some day, when fundspermit, the museum will be able to pub-lish regularly a journal which will on-able the researches made by its offi-cers to be printed in popular form.

MORE INCOME NEEDED.To carry out efficiently the functions

of a National Museum a sufficient in-come is necessary, much more indeedthan is at present available. In theUnited States ~ tho most . activemuseums, besides a' certain amount ofState and municipal assistance,utilisethe income derived from endowments,and so liberali have been those giftsthat the larger are able tosend expeditions to all parts. Of theworld. The Dominion Museum does notexpoct to cover so much/ ground, butplainly, the area in jvhich it shouldwork and distribute its.benefits shouldbo the Dominion and its dependencies.In its school work, its publications, andin, the preservation of the nation'streasures, it has much to do, but thesefunctions can only be performed bypublic assistance. Such has in t,he pastbeen hindered by the fact that therewas no independent body to receivedonations.

RETURNED SOLDIERS

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—l was interested in a. letter signed"1014" in your issue of to-night regardingthe work done by the Returned Soldiers'.Association. It was surprising to' knowthere were still such numbers of returnedsoldiers in the Wellington Hospital, andeveryone must be pleased to know thatsome care is lavished on them by theR.S.A. There is, however, a greaterdisability than loss of health or limb, Iallude to loss of reason. I understandthere are still a number of returned sol-diers in Porirua Hospital suffering fromthis worst of all war disabilities. CanColonel Avery, who spoke so ably theother night, tell us what is done for these?I am, etc.,

EMPIRE PROBLEMSDOMINION'S PART

DIPEEIAL CONFERENCE

DEBATE, IN HOUSE

LABOUR CRITICISM

Imperial topics engaged the atten-tion of the House of Representativesall through yesterday's sitting, andwhen the House adjourned at 10.30p.m. the discussion on the reportdealing with the deliberations of theImperial Conference and theterms ofthe Statute of Westminster had notconcluded. The leaders of the twoOpposition parties did.not contributeto the debate, but they will have an-other opportunity to-day. The PrimeMinister (the Right Hon. G. W.Forbes) was subjected to some criti-cism as to the part he had played inthe Conference, espepially from theLabour benches, but on the whole thereception of the report Avas a friendlyone.

Tho Hon. W. Downio Stewart (Re-

form, Duucdiu West) said that so'fai-ns tho economic side was concerned it

was obvious the Conferencewas a fail-ure. Mr. Forbes was in a■■veryawk-ward position at tho Conference. Hofound himself with big brothers whowanted to make the pace pretty strong,and it was difficult for a representativeof ono of the smallest Dominious toavoid creating conflict and perhaps dis-unity,and to avoid going further thanit wished to go. In saying that theproposals put forward by Now Zoalandfor tariff reciprocity wore turned downby the British Government,Mr. Forbeshad stated the position rather too fav-ourably so far as the attitudo taken upby New Zealand was concerned. Itseemed clear that it was quite properto put before tho Homo Governmentviows as to how Empire trade couldbe best developed, and to urge suchviews up to a point, but when the re-presentatives of the Dominions wont be-yond that and scolded the OH Countryfor not granting immediately whatthey wanted, Mr. Stewart said he feltthe Dominion was put in a false light.Mr. Forbes certainly did not go so fariis the Prime Ministers of other Do-minions; in fact, as compared withthem he was very restrained. He musthave been surprised at tho extent towhich remarks he made in speeches inEngland were seized on by party poli-ticians for their own purposes. (Hear,hear.) The speaker said his view wasthat the New Zealand delegation wasquito entitlou" to put forward theirviews to Great Britain, but it was alittle hard on the British representa-tives to accuse them of wobbling andquibbling; that did not seem very goodform. The counterpart of such an at-titude would occur if an Imperial Con-ference were held in Australia or NowZealand, and the British representa-tives urged us to remove ouv.Customstariff, and if, on our refusing to do so,"the British representatives indulged incriticism.' That sort of thing would notdo much to promoto Imperial unity;it was more likely to give rise to fric-tion and conflict.

EMPIRE DEFENCE.Sofar as tho constitutional side was

concerned, Mr. Stewart said that theresolution proposed left open tho wholequestion of whether New Zealand wouldat a later date adopt the Statute ofWestminster. The Prime Minister hadtaken up a very proper attitude—theonly one who did so—in maintainingthat New Zealand did not wish to becommitted without a discussion in herown Parliament. Of more particularinterest was the discussion at the Con-ference on defence. Tho position now

'seemed to be that at a time when theDominions were claiming greater inde-pendence they were passing on theheavy burden of maintaining the com-mon defencesof Empire to the taxpay-ers of the Old Country. It was truethat economic circumstances had com-pelled Australia and Now Zealand tocurtail defenceexpenditure. The great-est justification we had had in tho pastfor allowing Great Britain to carry anundue share of tho defence burden wasthat we compensated her by giving hera tariff preference. If our tariff policywas to bo made the means of negotiat-ing trade agreements with Great Brit-ain, it would not bo open to us anyfurther to .justify the British taxpayerbearing such a large defence burden.

DOMINION SHOULD HESITATE.The two features oi! tho proposed

Statute of Westminster which seemedto carry, the powers of the Dominionfurther were the clause dealing withshipping problems, and that givingpower to legislate over citizens outsideour own.boundaries. Mr. Stewart saidit seemed to him that the adoption ofthe shipping clause by all the Domin-ions would lead to considerable chaos,and conflict between the different Do-minions, and ho hoped the New Zea-land Parliament would consider thomatter very carefully before acting. Itwould bo easy to impose all sorts ofconditions as to manning, accommoda-tion, etc., for. operation against otherparts in the Empiro which we wouldnot dare to impose on foreign coun-tries because of the fear of retaliation:So far as the extra-territoriality ques-tion was concerned,students saw seri-ous objection to the proposal in thatit went farther than it was necessaryto provide in divorce and other ques-tions. In conclusion, Mr. Stewart ex-pressed the hope that New Zealandwould hesitate to adopt some of thopowers it was proposed to confer on theDominions.

BULK PUKOHASING.Mr. M. J. Savage (Labour, Auckland

.West) said he agreed with Mr. Stewartthat some Dominion -representativeshad seen fit to tell the Old Countrywhat it should do. Mr. Forbes wassuggesting that the British Governmentwould have to change its policy if itword to get anywhere.

Mr. Forbes: "On Free Trade."Mr. Savage: "Ha'a not England a

right to have its own fiscal policy?" Hereferred to the large investments whichBritain had abroad, and said therewere tremendous difficulties ahead ofa protective policy. If Dominion PrimoMinisters had spent more time in theaffairs of the Conference, and less ondiscrediting tho Labour Government atHome, they mighthave had'a differentstory to tell. As it was, the Conferencewas a failure from an economic pointof view, and they would have to con-sider these failures ■ seriously. Mr.Forbes had stated that Now Zoalandwould novor stand for bulk purchase,but how did ho know what New Zealandstood for'? If it had not been for onoof tho greatest political accidents intho history of Now Zealand, Mr. Forbeswould never have been at the ImperialConference. The farmers as a wholewere crying out for a bolter system ofmarketing. Mere politics had stood intlio way of tho last' Conferencebeingsuccessful,and ho thought it. was liinothey considered whether politiciansshould represent them at eoonnomieconferences or whether they should berepresented by people who had a. know-ledge of tho subject and a desire to deal

with it. The Prime Minister had re-turned from England with nothing toshow them. Commercially minded menwere needed instead of politically mind-ed men. The people of New Zenlaudhad novor had un opportunity of/under-standing what bulk purchasing was,and it was absurd for tho Prime Min-ister to say they would not stand forit.PBEFEEENCE FOR PREFERENCE.

Tho Minister of Lands (the lion. E.A. 'Ransom) said that although some1of thoPrimo Minister's utterances werenot sympathetically received at Homethey represented tho views of Now Zea-land. One of the greatest difficultiesfacing England at present was tho largoamount invested abroad. Mr. Ransompaid a warm tribute to the worthy man-ner in which Mr. Forbes had repre-sented New Zoaland,aud said those whohad scoffed at him in tho early stagesof the Conference praised him at thoconclusion. At Homo they had real-ised that they had in Mr. Forbes aman who would speak his mind.

Mr. J. S.Fletcher (Independent, GreyLynn): "You are 'kidding' yourself."

Mr. Ransom said that to his mindthe Conference had not discussed atsufficient length the influence of pre-ference for Dominion products- on Brit-ain's foreign trade. , It was held by thoBritish Government that a policy ofpreference would be detrimental toBritain's trade as a whole, but therewere numerous arguments against thiscontention. It was a matter whichshould be carefullyinvestigated. Therehad been a lack of appreciation on thepart of British manufacturers of thewants of the markets in the Dominions.They could not hope to extend theirmarkets unloss they catered for thewauts of tho Dominions, and in thosame way the Dominions would haveto learn tho requirements of the peopleat Home. It might be a good thing ifwhales wero exterminated, becausewhale oil wa.s used in, the manufactureof margarine, which competed withNew Zealand butter. New Zealand wasgiving a preference to English goods,and surely the Dominion" was entitledto ask for some preference in return.The time had arrived when tho Do-minions should,.press for a reciprocitywhich would foster,inter-Empire tradeto the advantage of all. None of theDominions to-day was prepared to takeimmigrants, because there was no guar-antee that the excess exports wouldfind a market in England. If this guar-antee was given, then the problem oftho surplus population in England wouldbo solved. Many of these people couldbe used in the manufacturing industriesin order to make tho Dominions moreself-contained.

THE DEFENCE BURDEN.Mr. F. Waite (Reform, Clutha) said

he believed tho Prime Minister had re-presented the traditional view of NewZealand at the Conference. Discussingthe questionof disarmament,Mr. Waitesaid that every Conference and Pacthad imposed further obligations on theBritish Empire and the British Navy.We must stand up to those obligations.The recent Imperial Conference haddealt chiefly with minor questions, andhad not dealt adequately with defence.Tho speaker stressed the' value of theSingapore Base, and said that the ques-tion of the distribution of the burdenof Empiro defence required much moreconsideration. What was the use oftalking about equality of status whenthe responsibilities of tho various partsof the Empire in shouldering the costof defence were not recognised. Hewas aware that it was difficult to workout a common Empire defence policy,but we had to strive after unanimity'onthat subject as well as on foreign pol-icy generally. He did not believe NewZealanders oven to-day were preparedto claim equal status with Great Brit-ain, on whom we still largely depended.We knew full well" we were not bear-ing our proper burden of responsibili-ties. ■ ■ ■

Mr. W. J. Jordan (Labour, Manu-kau) sought a statement from thePrime Minister in regard to the Singa-pore Base, and also urged that a con-ference should be arranged with the Im-perial authorities on the question ofproduce marketing. One of the finestEmpire ties that could be establishedwould be a reciprocal pensions arrange-ment in respect to pensions. He urgedthat the Government should introducelegislation recognising the pensionsrights of persons from other countries.

Mr. J. S. Fletcher (Independent,Grey Lynn) said that the Government,by its action against Canada,had notshown it was in favour of a policyof Empire preference. There seemedlittle doubt that party politics had beenintroduced into the Imperial. Confer-ence. It was the duty of Parliament toinvestigate Empire matters and formu-lato a definite policy. He advocatedthe setting up of an Imperial AffairsCommittee of the House for the pur-pose of discussing bulk purchase andother inter-Empire matters.

Colonel T. W. M'Donald (United,Wairarapa) said that British investorshad £260,000,000 invested in foreigncountries, and the repayments of thedebts were made in goods which com-peted with the products of tho Do-minions. They should induce the Brit-ish money-lenders to invest within theDominion. The power of extraterri-toriality gave the Dominions the rightto enter into independent treaties withforeign countries, and thispower could

'quite easily prove detrimental to theEmpire as a whole. Colonel M'Donaldexpressed,the opinion that Now Zea-

! land wonld endorse the attitude adopt-.cd by Mr. Forbes in. regard to Can-

adian tariff matters.; NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA.'. Mr. A. M. Samuel (Reform, Thames).said that so far as New Zealand was

concerned the Imperial Conferencewas[ a failure. That was largely owing

to tho traditional British policy of Free

'Trade, but lie believed there was achange of feeling coming over thepeople of Great Britain in favour of

'. modified Protection. He thought thotime was coming when the Dominionsshould havo representation in tho Brit-ish Parliament, so that problems af-fecting tho welfare of the Dominionscould bo dealt with on tho spot. It wasregrettable that steps. had not boontaken to secure a system of reciprocalpensions to cover the whole Empire.The Government should certainly sco

'■ to it that New Zealand was', repre-| sonted by a Minister at the Ottawa! Conference. Ho would also like to see

Now Zealand invite a Canadian Mm,-, istcr to visit New Zealand to, discuss'. tho tariff breach which had been

'created. They should not widen thebreach, but should do everything intheir power to heal it. The Empiro;Marketing Board was doing very

'valuable work in assisting the pro-ducers of the Empire to secure butter

]marketing conditions, but its work.

"should be backed up by support from

'tho Dominions themselves. The board's1propaganda should be backed up, not■only by the producers' organisations,

'but by the Government. At present■ the s New Zealand Government was

1only spending £1000 on advertising,1and if they were not careful they would1be left behind.

The Eev. C. Can- (Labour, t'imaru)remarked that it had boon said thatreciprocity was the life of trade, butho would go further and say that reci-procity was trade. Pr tcction did notmake for tracle, but rather for restric-tions and diversions. On tbe otherhand, Free Trade dirt not make forfree trade, but rather for a free iijjht.What was needed to-day was a policyof total economic disnrnianienfc. Thiswas tho day of cartels find interna-tional trade arrangements on a bigscale. Ono would have thought bulkpurchase would have appealed to thePrime Minister. So great was interna-tional intor-dependenco that it tniglifcbe even unwise to* cut Eusqja out of

trade relations. They were hoping thatthe Disarmament Conference next yearwould achieve big results.

NOT A FAILURE.Mr. W. A. Bodkin (United, Central

Otago) regretted that it was not pos-sible to impose certain limitations onthe whaling industry in tho Antarctic.Ho did not think they were entitledto say the Conference was a failure,because tho Old Country refused uspreference. The request really meantthat thepeople of the United Kingdomshould pay higher prices in order thatwe might profit. It was important topeople at " Home that they should beenabled to get their .requirements atbedrock prices. It was too much to ex-pect, at' ono conference or within ashort space of time, that the Old Coun-try should accede to a radical changeof policy in respect to trade. It wouldbe many years before the change wouldbe brought within tho range of prac-tical polities, and therefore ho urgedthat wo should do everything possiblealong the lines of bulk purchase, as-suring tho sale of a definite quotaof our goods to the United Kingdom.The recommendations in respect' to the.Empire Marketing Board wero all tothe good, and must load to a .substan-tial increase in trade. In congratulat-ing tlic Prime Minister on the part he"played at the Conference, he said hehad impressed people at Home and hadfulfilled his duties with credit to him-self and tho country.

Captain 11. M. Uushworth (CountryParty, Bay of Tslands) said tliii.t I ho.Conferenceof 1020" had been the vealturning point. There was a, real dun-gor of the disintegration of the' Em-piro, and it would bo found thai the1P213 Conferencewas the crossroads. Allthe present time the last Court of Ap-peal was the Privy Council, but, oper-ated according to the laws of Eng-land, tho Statute of Westminster mightmoan*that the right of appeal to thoPrivy Council would disappear. Thepersonality of the Crown might be afactor holding fhe Empire togetherat tlic present.time, and this might notbo a' permanent tie.

The Minister of Health (the Hon. A.J. Stullwm-thy): "Wliat about blood re-lations?"

Captain Kushworth: "Blood relationscannot bo relied upon since tho Ameri-can Eevolution." If tho people ofGreat Britain were over converted fromtheir policy of the free importation offoodstuffs, they might give the Domin-ions some of their own medicine. Theeconomic unity of the Empire was ut-terly impossibly unless the people werein favour of if. Now Zealand was notIjnilliny;its weight im far as naval tlc-!friico was concerned,and although theDominion could not make a direct, eon*(rijmtion to the floot at the presenttime, it could encourage the use for.British manufactures.

The debate wns adjourned at 10.30p.m. until this afternoon.

SILVER IN DEMAND

(Received 22nd July, 11 a.m.)MELBOURNE, This Day.

Federal Treasury officials ai;e puz-zled by the extraordinary demand inthe past two months for silver, as thestocks ofsilver coin held in thevaultsare practically exhausted. They areinclined to think that owing to thecontraction in the use of chequesmore silver has been employed as amedium of exchange.

Another suggestion is that peopleare hoarding silver, fearing a finan-cial collapse. The officialswarn suchpeople that this is hardly worth whileas the real value of the shilling isnow only about 2id.

Recent Court cases in New Zealandappear to indicate that somo at leastof the missing silver has found its wayto this country.

Fifty-four aeroplanes thusmenaced England's heart, but Londonwas instantly alert, scores of defensivefighters soaring skyward and joiningfiercely in the combat. The vital centreswere the Hackney Marshes reservoir,the destruction of which would causeLoudon to jierish of thirst, and theWest India Docks, crowded with food-stuffs, suppling provender* lest street-bred people should die. The Duke ofYork's Barracks at Chelsea was astrategic military strong-point.

GERMANY'S CASEPOWERS CONSULTING

LONDON CONFERENCE

MOST URGENT NECESSITY

CO-OPERATIVE CREDITS

(British Official Wireless.)

(Received 22nd July, 11 a.m.)RUGBY, 21st July.

This morning's sitting of theSeven Powers' Conference, whichlasted over two hours and a, half,consisted, in the main, of a discus-sion, in which' practically all thedelegates took part, on the more gen-eral aspects of the situation.

There was an agreement lhat themost urgent part of the problem wasto devise methods of internationalfinancial co-operationwhich could bepromptly applied to restore confid-ence in Germany'seconomic stability.This task was consideredas an essen-tial preliminary to the coniderationof further measures which might berequired to effecta permanent restor-ation on a firm basis of Germany'sfinancial situation.

It was agreed that the first step mustbe to ensure that no further creditsshould be withdrawn from Germany,and Mr. Stimson, tho* American 'Secre-tary of State, ou this point emphasisedhis firm belief .that American, bankswould continue to co-operate in main-taining their credits with Germany,an d hoped that the banks of other coun-tries would adopt a similar sane andhelpful attitude.

The morning's discussion served auseful purpose in further clarifying thesituation, and it was decided that thePrime Minister should in the afternoonpreside over a meeting of Finance Min-isters representing the different coun-tries, and at which Dr. Bruening shouldalso be present further to examine thequestions raised in the morning's sit-ting.

This meeting was still in session at8.30 p.m. ,

(Received 22ud July, 10 a.m.)WASHINGTON, 21sfcJuly.

A proposal by the United States Gov-ernment that tho bankers of the worldmaintain their present volumo ofcredits to Germany has been laid be-fore the interested Powers at London.The Acting-Secretary "of State, Mr.Castle, made known on Tuesday thedetails of formal suggestions approvedby President Hoover for relieving Ger-many.

At the outset the United States pro-posals placed entirely .in Europe'shands tho solution of their politicalproblems, jjie proposals confining them-selves to banking operations.It was suggested that the mainten-

ance of tho present levels of credits beimplemented with continued measuresby Germany to stem the internal tidewithin that country. It proposed theestablishment of a committee. of theBank of International Settlements orthrough other means to secure co-oper-ation in consulting world banking in-terests for a renewal of short-termcredits, co-operation iv an inquiry todetermine Germany's further economicneeds, and a study for the conversionwithin six or eight months of part ofthe short-term credits into long-termcredits.

Mr. Castle estimated the total ofshort-term credits at 1,200,000,000dollars, half of which is held byUnited States banks.

FRANCE THE BAR

FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT

GERMANY'S WISH

It has been plain in France that,while there is no doubt of Germandifficulties in the present depression,thore is a strong suspicion of the new.financial campaign* launched in Berlin,writes Eugene G. Young in'tho "Chi-cago Tribune." It is pointed out thaton ofich occasion since the World Warwhen the Berlin Government has con-ducted a campaign for concessions itIkis always drawn a gloomy picture of.internal conditions aud has made muchof threats of revolution at home ifthe concessions wero not uindo.

"The chief argument," says the"Temps," semi-official organ of theParis Foreign Office,"is that all Europeis deeply interested in preventing anew catastrophe—internal collapse ofGermany, tho results of which wouldbe serious for all countries, includingtho United States. On the one side(hey insist on the menace of a Bol-shevik revolution, on the other side thomenace of a Hitlerite reaction thatwould place peace in peril." And itadds dryly, recalling its strictures ontho concessions made to Germanyfrom time to time: "This double themehas already served much."

French officialdom has made nobones of a belief that tho Germanpublicity agencies have been ex-aggeratiug conditions, and that thoGovernment has permitted evidencesof dangerous ferment as a means ofgetting what it wants. It holdsthat Germany has made progress inrecovering world trade in recentyears, that its present plight is largelyduo to extravagance after the war, andthat the campaign against the war debtsis only part of a much larger plan tobreak down, the whole structure of thepcaco treaties.

This attitude on tho part of thoFrench is particularly important bo-

<;aiisc,as Mio chief creditor of Germany,they hold tho key position on the mat-ter of the war debts. At the Youngplan conference tho French statesmenintrenched themselves thoroughly bythis device:

'Reparations were divided into twoclasses—tho postponablc part and theiiun-postpouablcpart. Tho first categorywas almost exactly fitted to cover whatthe foijmer Allies must pay to theUnited States; the second category waswhat the victors regarded as the "irre-ducible minimum" they must havo forthemselves as payment for war dam-ages.

In other words, postponement or re-duction or cancellation of all the re-parations used to pay tho debt to thoUnited Stateswas left open; and it wasoven provided that if we cancelled anyof that debt Germany should get two-thirds of the benefit and the others one-third. But no chance was left for anylessoning of the amounts France is toget—and the smaller amounts others areto get for themselves arid not for theAmerican debt.

Now the Washington Governmentdoesnot recognise that the postponablc partof reparations is tied up with the debtsduo to the United States from the Al-lies; but France has consistently takenthe position that they are, and that,shewill not pay us nor pay Britain un-less Germany pays this category first.Tho British havo not been so decided,but they have let it be known thatthey do not see how they can continuedebt payments to the United States ifthey do not get what is coming to themfrom Germanycither directly or throughFrench payments oi the debt to Britainout of payments received from Ger-many. Hence the French position onboth the postponable and the non-post-ponablereparations is vital.

"NOT CONCERNED."From tho opening of tho German cam-

paign it has been the suave claim ofthe Paris Government that it is notreally concerned in what is done, be-cause it must have its non-postponablepayments anyway, and the rest of theproblem is whollyamatter for the Unit-ed States to decide. If we want toconsent to postponement or cancella-tion of any of the amount set aside topay us, France is perfectly willing weshould pay the price. If we are notwilling, well—with an eloquent shrugof French shoulders—then of courseuothing can be done unless Germanywishes to default, with all the conse-quences that might follow., It is for this reason that the cam-paign for revision of the Young plan isnow being centred so strongly on Amer-ican opinion. Germany and Britainhave both tried to get France to agreethat the whole matter of reparationsshould be opened, the postponable partas well as tho aon-postponable, butFranco has been adamant on this point.The only hope is that tho United Stateswill agree, in tho interest of the revivalof Europe and her own trade, to saythat she will let the non-postponablefigures be reduced or cancelled,and willforgive the part of tho debt that thereduction represents. fc

It is, of course, possible for Germanyto declare a moratorium for two yearsunder the Young plan and so tide her-self over the present emergency. Butthat would not suit her. At the end oftho period the debt would still exist andpayments at tho old scale of about500,000,000dollars ayear would have tobe resumed until the whole sum wasliquidated. What is wanted is a re-duction of the entire burden and event-ual cancellation.

NO EXAMINATION.Even to get the moratorium it would

bo necessary to have an examinationof tho German situation by the advis-ory committee of tho World Bank, andBerlin does not want this. It wouldenable French and American bankersto look deeply into conditions in thecountry and perhaps find wealth or ex-travagance which are not conceded by.the anti-debt propaganda. In fact, thewhole Gorman situation is puzzling.Gilbert Parker, who was the director-general under the Dawes Plan, accus-ed tho GermanGovernment and Statesof being wasteful and extravagant; andthe. French believe that most of thetroubles of the country are due to thiscause. They hold , that Germany canget through the depression, justas othernations must, if proper measures ofeconomyare taken.

On the other hand, there is evidencefrom competent observers that there isdire poverty in the land and that thecountry will face a first-class crisis, eco-nomically and politically, unless theburden of the de-bt is lifted.

Certainly there is reason for appre-hension about political conditions.Whether ilftc to real distress or to mani-pulation by powerful interests thatwant to -&COGermany strong again, thecampaign of the Nazis, led. by Hitler,and tho Communists, is making head-way, as shown by the stronger votethey get in every test election.

BLOCKED.So far the Government -lias been

able to hold down any dangerous out-breaks by theso elements. Eepressivemeasures have stopped most of theirfighting, and Hitler himself has toneddown his efforts toward revolution.Doubtless they will be held down aslong as President yon Hindenburg isthe head of tho State. But Hinden-burg is at an age when he might dis-appear suddenly from the politicalstage; and then there would be a ques-tion whether there was any man or ele-me-nt strong enough to uphold a policyof steadiness.

At Geneva, seat of the League ofNations, there is a strong impressionthat the situation is heading towardrevolutionary putsches in the autumnunless conditions become better for theX>eople,

These factors explain the anxiety ofthe Bruening Government on the wardebt issue. It was defeated in the Coun-cil of the League" of Nations on theeconomic union with Austria, and itsprestige has received'a great blow.-Itmust do something to regain its posi-tion. Tho debt offers the opportunity.

STATE FINANCES

Complete details of State revenue andexpenditure for tho financial year re-veal a deficit on the year's workings of£8,939,466,as compared with a deficitof £7,022,273 for the previous financialyear, states the "Daily Telegraph."

Revenue for the year was £40,618,----302,-adrop of £6,535,352 as comparedwith 1930-31.' Expenditure totalled£49,557,768, a drop of £4,618,189.It will thus be seen that though ex-

penditure was cut "by £4,618,189 dur-ing tho twelve months, the drop inrevenue exceeded this cut by £1,917,----193.

Details of receipts were as follows:—Governmental, £17,422,051 (a drop

of £2.325, 750 as compared with theprevious year; Railways, £15,855,917(a drop of £2,868,062); Haibour Trust,£847,504 (a drop of £179,394); HunterDistrict Water Board, £301,754 (a riseof. £1262); Main Eoadß Board, £2,---554,125 (a drop of £547,415).

Tho position of tho tramways Iscomplicated. On sth August, 1930, theTransport Commission took over theadministration of the metropolitantrams and on loth October that of theNewcastle trams. Up to thd time theywere taken over the tramways earned£402,6-11,and for the remainder of theyear £2,534,461, a total of £2,937,102,or £1,012,872less than for 1930-31. TheTransport Commission's revenue otherthan for tramways was £399,849. "Expenditure details were:—

Ordinary Government Departments,£16,272,827(a drop of £1,297,368)-; in-terest, £13,997,894 (an increase of£343,902); Railways, £12,930,076 (adrop of £-1,906,264); Harbour Trust,£297,965-(a drop of £88,392); HunterDistrict Water Board, £122,841 (adrop of £10,437); Main Eoads Board,£2,598,237 (a drop of £1,359,257).

Until they were absorbed by theTrust the tramway expenditure " was£477,079, and afterwards £2,502,942,atotal of £2,980,021 (a arop of £656,280oh the previous year). Other expendi-ture of the Transport Commission was£357,907.

In these figures recoups of interestby business undertakings are not de-ducted from interest payments bythe State, and expenditure on businessundertakings does not include interestpayments on loan capital.

CONVERSION LOAN

APPEAL BY MR. LYONSAUSTRALIA'S POSITION

"A successful voluntary conversionon the immense scale now contemplat-ed would be the most triumphant vin-dication of Australia's national char-acter that I can imagine. It wouldbe a gesture to the world, and woulddo more than any other single thingto revive confidence, to set the wheelsof industry going again, and to laythe foundation for the restoration ofprosperity."

Mr. J. A. Lyons, Leader of the Fede-ral Opposition, made tho foregoingstatement in a speech in support of thevoluntary conversion loan, which wasbroadcast recently throughout Aus-tralia.

Mr. Lyons said that from the atti-tude of some Parliamentary leaders itwould seem that the bondholders com-prised a clear-cut section of the 'com-munity, a section apart from their fel-low-men, waxing prosperous withouttoil on the interest from their Govern-mental securities, and vigorously re-sisting the suggestion that they shouldcontribute in any way to the sacrificeinevitablyinvolved in our national re-habilitation. He wasunder no such il-lusion.

EXISTING DEBTS.The total amount of Commonwealth

and State loans outstandingat tho pre-sent time in Australia, was approxi-mately £550,000,000. Apart from thegeneral public, tlio largest holdingswere those of the State Savings Banks,amounting to £83,000,000. These sav-ings banks had about 5,000,000deposi-tors, truly representative of all sec-tions of the people. It was thereforethe people's savings that were invest-ed. Again, the insurance companiesheld £35,000,000 worth of bonds.The companies had about 2,400,000 poli-cies in force, and it was the contri-butions to those policies that were in-vested in bonds. Friendly societies,with 600,000members,harl £3,000,000invested, and tho CommonwealthBankhad investments of £65,000,000. Fin-ally, tho investments of superannuationfunds, which were contributed in partb~y tho servants of tho States to makeprovision for their old age, amountedto re0,000,000.

"The holdings of these various insti-tutions," said Mr. Lyons, "amount to

£105,000,000. If we add to this totaltho holdings of tho general public,amounting to £320,000,000, wo hnvoaccounted for £524.000,000,. leavingonly £32,000,000 held by joint stockbanks and Governmental and semi-Gov-ernmental funds, out of a gross totalof £550,000,000.""I come now to the holdings^ oil

£329,000,000 in the hands of the gene-ral public/ continued Mr. Lyons. "Itis quite a mistake to suppose that thisvast sum is held by people all of whosesavings are placed in this class of in-vestment. A considerable portion is,no doubt, held by financial and com-mercial companies. In other cases thesecurities are held by persons of largemeans, who have distributed their as-sets over different types of investment.Another section would comprise per-sons of small means who, in responsoto appeals to their patriotism, haveplaced part, or all, of their moderatesavings at the disposal of tho Gov-ernments of Australia. If you wereto read the many letters I have re-ceived since the plan to undertake thoconversion operation,was first discuss-ed, you would be surprised to learnhow many people there are who haveplaced all their little savings in Gov-ernment loans.

"To-night, therefore, whilst my ap-peal is supposed to be directed to thebondholders, it is, in fact, addressedto all of you.For in some way or other,either directly or indirectly, throughthe savings banks or the insurance com-panies, or friendly societies, or super-annuation schemes,you arc all inter-ested in the invitation to convert exist-ing bonds into bonds carrying lowerrates of interest. The bondholder hasbeen one of the indispensable partnersin the work of national development,and it is as a partner in the nation'sdevelopment, as one whoso own wel-fare is inseparably bound up with thatof tho nation, that an appeal is beingmade to him to-day.

FALL IN PRICES."Two years ago, unfortunately, we

suffered a rude shock. Prices f.or wooland wheat came tumbling down, andthe moneyswe had borrowed so freelyin Great Britain and elsewhere weresuddenly withdrawn. As comparedwith our national income in 1827-2S,we shall in the financial year 1931-32have £200,000,000 less to spend. TheGovernments, notwithstanding . sucheconomies as have already been effect-ed, are falling behind at the rate of£40,000,000 a year. Measures are nowin preparation by the CommonwealthGovernment providing for an averagereduction of 20 per cent, in the salariesof Public servants, a reduction of 20per cent, in the case of war pensions,and of 12^ per cent, in the ease of old-age and invalid pensions. The StateGovernments, too, are committed tomake corresponding reductions in thoexpenditure on their own services.

"With an interest bill of £57,000,000,about "£29,000,000 of which is payablein Australia,. the Governmentsof Aus-tralia feel that they are justified 'in'asking the holders of Governmentsecurities to niako a similar contribu-tion to the national sacrifice. The lossin the national income has hithertobeenborne mainly by export producers, un-employed, and 'ration' wage-earners,and the recipients of profits from Aus-tralian businesses. One of the majortasks before the Governments of Aus-tralia is to distribiite the loss amongall sections of the community. It hasbeen estimated that the total fixed in-terest charges in Australia amount toabout £70,000,000- ■or ■ £80,000,000 ayear. This includes the £29,000,000ofinterest paid on Government securitiesin Australia, but is exclusive of the£36,000,000 of external interestcharges, which represent a separateproblem. If Australia had to meet£70,000,000 to £80,000,000 of fixed in-terest charges with a national incomeof £650,000,000, can it be regarded aspossible for her to meet them with anational income of only £450,000,000?

A NECESSABY CONTRIBUTION."Now, I know that there is a great

deal to be said for the position of thebondholder. A Commonwealth bond isa contract, a legal contract as betweenthe Commonwealth Government, repre-senting the people of Australia, andthe holder for the time being of thebond. - This contract provides amongother things for the payment of in-terest on a fixed dateat acertain statedpercentage per annum, and for the pay-ment of the full face value of thebond. Any arbitrary, interference withthe contract might have most seriousresults for the future welfare of Aus-tralia. The bondholder has fulfilled hispart of the contract. By theuse of hismoney,we have been enabled to'buildbridges, roads, railways, harbours, andall tho other essentials of nationaldevelopment. It is dangerous to sug-gest that we will not fulfil our partof the contract, and I hope that thonecessity for such a stop will neverarise.

"Tor these reasons I have con-sistently urged that in appealing to thebondholder voluntarily to convert hisexisting holdings there must be nothreat of penal measures if he shouldfail to respond to tlfc appeal. There-fore JVask the holders of Governmentsecurities to look at the matter from abusiness point of view. They have beenpartners in the building up of theCommonwealthof Australia. The greatenterprise which they havo assisted tocreate is in difficulties. Its income hasbeen seriously diminished. Bluntly, itis unable to pay its way. Profits associ-ated with the enterprise have vanished.The wagesand salaries of its servantshave been reduced to conform with thealtered condition of things. Theholders of the securities which pro-vided the capital for the concern arenow asked to fprego a portion of theirreturn in interest in order that theenterprise may honourably be carriedon."If they consent voluntarily to

forego a portion of the return whichthey expected to receive from their in-vestment, and to postpone for a period,brief or extended, the date for tho re-payment of their principal, they willgive the nation relief and breathingspace to enable it' to work towardseconomic recovery.

NECESSITY FOR CONFIDENCE."To-day the touchstone of our, pro-

gress can be summed up in the word'confidence.' I earnestly appeal to theholders of Government securities toplay their part, large or small, in givingAustralia probably the greatest adver-tisement that she had had in herhistory. If they do so, they will notonly give Australia a wonderfuladvertisement in the eyesof the world,but they will also render a greatnational service in ;i time of peril, andat the same time do something thatwill safeguard their own interests.Unless interest, together with otherGovernment charges, comes down, theGovernmentsmust default. That wouldbring national degradation, and theinvestors would probably lose a sub-stantial portion of their bonds. Self-interest and national honour are alikeat stake."I have sufficient faith in the pride,

in the good sense, in tho unconquerablespirit of the Australian people, to lookforward to theresult of the forthcomingcampaign with confidence."

HEARING AT LAST

MUNGANA MINE ACTION

CROWN CLAIMS DAMAGES

THEODORE AND OTHERS

(Uuited Press Association—By Electric Tele-graph—Copyright.)

BRISBANE,21st July.What has become known as the

"Mungana action" will begin in theSupreme Court to-morrow before theChief Justice, Mr. Justice Blair, anda jury of four. The case is excitingtremendous interest throughout thsCommonwealth. ,

The statement of claim consists of1600 words. 'Tho QueenslandGovernmentis suingfor the recovery of £30,000 from Ed-ward Granville Theodore, FederalTreasurer, William M'Cormaek, thor '"*former Premier, Peter Louis Goddard,and Frederick Eeid.

Briefly, the claim is one for damage 3for alleged conspiracy or, alternatively,damages arising from the fact that thedefendants, Theodore and M'Cormackand Eoid, agreed to give Goddard "acertain benefit in consideration of God-dard, as agent for tho King, recomrmending or procuring the purchase by,the Government of certain mines atMungana known as the 'Lady Jane'-and the. 'Girofla,' whereby the threedefendants procured, the purchase ofthe said mines by fraud."

The Crownseeks also an account andrepayment.of all profits made byM'Cor-mack and Theodore arising out of such!purchase "in breach of their duty asagents of the King."

Alternatively, the State seeks danwages for conversion.

HISTORY OF THE CASE

In May of last year the interest o£the ex-Premier of Queensland, Mr. J.M'Cormack, in the Mungana miningleases and his Government5s assistanceto the Chillagoe Smelters some yearsback, was the subject of inquiry beforaa Epyal Commission.

Mr. Peter M'paifrey, Senior Inspecttor of the Audit Department, relatedthat while Mr. M'Cormack was Pre-mier, in 1926 he told Mr. M'Cormackthat the Chillagoe Smelterswere an ab-solute white elephant, the losses oawhich were £100,000 yearly. Mi-.M'Cormack asked him to make a thor«ough investigation and to fnrnish a rwport to him and not to the Auditor*General.

Witness also told the Premier that;Peter Louis Goddard, ex-general man-agerof the Chillagoe Smelters,who wasclosely identified with the Munganaleases,was greatly worried about Mun»gana, the capital cost of which hadrisen to £200,000.

Mr. M'Cormack replied: "What hashe to worry about over Mungana? Thatis mypigeon and Theodore'sj not his."

Mr. M'Caffrey expressed the opinion'that the Auditor-General5s report ill1923-24 concerning the Chillagoe Smelt*ers was falsified.

The Commission was appointed bjjthe present Moore Government to in-quire into the managementof the Chil»lagoe mines and smelters by, PetesLouis Goddard,the acquisition of min-eral leases on1 the Chillagoff field, andthe sale by Frederick Reid and/05Mungana Mines, Ltd., to the Govern.'ment of Queenslandof any leases,andother matters relating to Chillagoqaffairs.

The Commissioner was Mr. Campbell^a former Judge of the Supreme Court!of New South "Wales." .

At an early hearing of the case- Mr*A. D. M'Gill, for the Crown, madareference to the Auditor-General5s re-iport on Chillagoe for 1927. He point*ed out that the report showed that fluefdust which was originally set down byjGoddardin tho balance-sheet at a valu«ation of £40,676, was valued by two!metallurgists at £1743. The ■ report!also stated that the stocks showed seri*ous shortages, and that thevalue of thdstocks had been inflated. He also re«ferred to a telegram by Mr. Jones, the(Minister of Mines, to Goddard, datecj27th February, 1926. From this wiraand Goddard5s answers it was seen!that in order to obtain from the ore a!returu of £29,750 the sum of £174,25Shad been expended.

As the result of the Commissions^finding Mr. Theodore resigned the posivtion of Treasurer in the Seullin Gov«ernment, an ofdeowhich he has now re*sumed. Tho Queensland; G-overnmenijdecided not to open criminal proceed*ings against those involved in the scan^dal, but to take the present action foifdamages.

TROUBLE IN DETROIT

PHASE OF UNEMPLOYMENT!DETROIT, 16th July.

Efforts to solve the unemploymentproblem with £3,600,000 of municipaldole have reached a curious phase.

A thousand dole beneficiaries, find*ing the city on the verge of closingdown the free beds and free food sup«ply, gathered in the City Hall, do«nouneed the welfare workers, and de*,manded the creation of a welfare fun<lof £20,000,000.

The malcontents are biting the handjthat fed them; for they demanded fur*ther that Mayor Murphy and ControlledHall, who have incurred much criticisni,for open-handed spending, should eulj ,their own salaries and try to live on 7tfa week.

An exciting day passed, with thojpolice reserves called out at one mo*'ment and sent back the next.

Meanwhile, the city is sinking deepedin a sea of deficits. The unemployed;contend that it shouldresist payment o.flits debts for a considerable time, andjthus "get even with the bankers.55

They declare that the municipalitymust not only inaugurate a morator*him for itself, but must pay out £2 n£week to single, men and from £3 to£4 to married men.

LINERS.

The non-imperialist Government

_in

Washington had annexed the HawaiianIslands in 1898. When it_ threw therocket line of its "coastwise" lawsover Hawaii in 1900 it stretched thoselaws like a bow-string across 2098 nau-tical miles of the Pacific Ocean.

To-day two 20,000-ton20-knot linersare building-in,, tho United Statos—backed by Governmentsubsidies (directand indirect) which in scale are prob-ably unique in history—for the pur-pose of collaring the trade of thesouth-western Pacific also. They propose touse as places of call Fiji, New Zealand,and Australia. Protected by exclusionlaws in all American-Hawaiian waters,and subsidised so lavishly, these steam-ers are coming hero on the assumptionthat New Zealand, Australia, and Fijiwill not combine by legislation to feedthem on some of their own medicine.

Long ago the New Zealand Parlia-ment took certain preliminary stepsto manufacture exclusion medicine for.consumption by those who administerit to others. Under that law, "if itappears to the Governor-General thatBritish ships are subject in any for-eign country to any prohibition or re-striction as to the carrying of pas-sengers or goods coastwise in thatcountry," he may, subject to any over-riding treaty rights, "impose such pro-hibitions or restrictions upon the shipsof that country .... as appearto him justly to countervail the dis-advantages to which British ships aresubject."

A COUNTERVAILING COMBINEAT THIS END?

These countervailing prohibitions orrestrictions may, under this old defen-sive enactment by the New ZealandParliament, cover New Zealand coast-wise trade, or trade "from any portin New Zealand to any port in anyother. British possession where a lawsimilar to this section exists."

But there's the rub! It seems thatneither Fiji not Australia possesseslegislation, at present, under which acountervailing exclusion of Americansubsidy-fed liners could bo jointlyestablished by the three main Britishunits in the south-western Pacific.

Would not a combination to set up acountervailing exclusion law, directedagaj&st exclusionists, be a reasonablething as amongNew Zealand,Australia,and Fiji These countries were Brit-ish long before 1898. Sea-links be-tween them, in the shape of maritimelaw, would be at least as reasonableas the rocket line that Congress threw2000 odd miles across the Pacific overHawaii. And such joint action bythe British units in the south-westernPacific would be defensive,. not offen-sive.fl The exclusion might be auto-matically removable by a withdrawal-of the United Statesfrom its exclusion-ist extremes.If action is not taken on this side

of the Pacific, the subsidised 20,000----ton 20-knot American liners may ac-complish in New Zealand and Fiji, byGovernmeut-paid-for competition, whatCongress accomplished by law inHawaii. And the mercantile marineof the Pacific will then be dominatedby the country that leads the world inprohibition (of foreign shipping), thatsells and will not buy (witness thechronically lop-sided state of New Zea-land-American trade), and which"tariffs out" the goods of other coun-tries, even though they be America'sown debtors struggling to pay in goodstheir debts.

EMBARGO: TARIFF: SUBSIDY.Super-prohibition (maritime) and

super-tariff have both reached extremosin the United States, yet-hardly canchallengethe pinnacle to which the artof shipping subsidy has there beenraised.

There is not space at present for fulldetails of the lavish subsidy scales ofthe United States Government, butestimates of what the two new 20,000----tonners will receive from the Govern-,xnent are startling. The U.S. Govern-ment assists by cheap loans to buildships (a sort of cheap money plan toploughnot the land but the seas, includ-ing other people's seas), and it alsohelps by' a subsidy on mileage (out-ward) run by the ships.

Under the first head (Governmentshipbuilding.loans) it is estimated thatthe owners of the two 20,000-tonnerswill save at least £57,000 a year ininterest, being the difference betweenwhat the owners will pay to the Gov-ernment on Governmentloan at 3$ percent., and what the owners would payto a private lender at 6 per cent.

Under the second head (mileagesubsidy.) the two new ships will besubsidised by the Government at therate of ten dollars per mile of theoutward voyage, "equal to £15,631 atrip. For a three-weekly service of17 1-3 trips a year, the total subsidy

■would amount to £271,000ayear;" Ag-gregating, with the aforesaid saved in-terest, £328,000 annually.A THREE MILLIONS STERLING

FILIBUSTER.The capital lent by the Government

for these two ships is stated to be notless than £2,280,000! Nearly threemillions of U.S. Government moneyto capture the service from SanFran-cisco to New Zealand and Australia.

According to one writer, the UnitedStates Government payments to ves-sels on oversea routes "aro called com-pensation for ocean mail service—aveiled expression for what is reallya Government subvention. Those sub-ventions are of proportions previouslyunheard of."

How the United States legislationwith regard to Hawaii drove the UnionCompany out of the New Zealand-American service, via Honolulu, is nowancient history. Later, the UnionCompany established a service withSan Francisco without calling at Hono-lulu. Now the policy of shipping ex-clusion is reinforced by tariff oxchi-sion, and also by loan-fed and subsidy-fed ships, American built and owned.The question is: Will New Zealand,Australia, and Fiji stand for it?

REFORM DECISION

(By .Telegraph.—Press Association.)CHRISTCHUKCH, 21st July.

A meeting of supporters of the Ee-form Party in the Hurimui electorate,held at Kaiapoi to-day,- carried a mo-tion expressing tho opinion that the jllcform Party should not nominate a{candidato for tho Hurunui seat in opposi-tion to tllo Prime Minister, tho EightHon. G. W. Forbes.

A further resolution was carried thatin view of this decision a suggestion bomado to tho Prime Minister that hisparty should not nominate a candidateto oppose the Leader of the Opposition(tho Eight lion.'J. G. Coates) in hissent (Kaipara).

The meeting was-ono of the largestand most representative political gath-erings of Eeform supporters ever heldin the town.

A letter was before the meeting fromMr. H. G. Livingstone, president of theCanterbury Divisional Executive of theEeform Party. The letter was as fol-lows:—■

The Canterbury Divisional Execu-tive has given careful considerationto the nomination of a Eeform can-didate for the Hurunui. electorate.The executiverecognises the right ofthe Hurunui electors to decide whe-ther a candidate will be nominatedto oppose the United Party leader.It also realises that there are manywho disagree with much that theUnited Party has done during itsterm of office, and admits that thereare many reasons why the EeformParty should contest the seat; but theexecutive feels that on this occasionthere are special circumstances, whichdeserve the consideration of your ex-ecutive. At the present time it is de-sirable to retain the services ofthose Parliamentarians, irrespectiveof party, who have shown their wil-lingness and ability to tako a courseof action which will assist in bring-ingthe conditions of ourprimary andsecondary industries into a Betterstate than that unfortunate one inwhich they stand to-day. The execu-tive is of opinion that the leaders ofboth Reform and United Partiesshould be left unopposod and free togiveall their attention to theproblemsthat face the country, and trusts yourcommittee will give this suggestionfull consideration.

The following is the text of the peti-tion:— . ■

'' (1) Your petitioners respectfullysubmit that the Eeligious Instructionin Public Schools Enabling Bill is anattempt to destroy the secularity of theState School system, and that to passthe Bill would be to abandon the atti-tude of neutrality which the State hashitherto adopted to religious' issues, toexpose the teachers to serious risks,and to inflict a grave injustice upondenominations and individuals unableto share in thereligious observances orreligious instruction proposed by theBill.

"(2) Your petitioners further submitrespectfully th.at the passing of tteBill would embarrass and perhaps de-stroy tho Nelson system, under whichthousands of children are now volun-tarily receiving a genuinely religiousinstruction from competent religiousteachers without pressure or responsi-bility of any kind on the part of theState, and tlyit instead of removingthese facilities it should be. tho aimof the Legislature to give them thewidest possible extension.

"Tour petitioners therefore humblypray that the Religious Instruction inPublic Schools Enabling Bill be notpassed, that the free compulsory andsecular character of the present sys-tem be strictly maintained, and that

LOOKING AHEAD

JOHNSONVILLE TRAMS

NGAIO INTERESTED

ORIGIN OF PROPOSAL

The request made by the Ngaio Pro-gressive Association to tho John-sonvillc Town Board, that it shouldappoint two members to attend a con-ference to consider the question of thoWellington City Council taking overtho WeUiiigton-Johnsonville railway ontho completion of the Tawa Flat devi-ation, revives a very interesting sug-gestion.

Whether tho transformation of therailway track to Johnsonvillo into atrain track will ever materialise re-mains to be seen, but undoubtedlyfromtho point of view of city developmentit has great possibilities. There havebeen very few official references to thoidea, but it was first mentioned in avery official publication, no less thanthe report of the Engineer-in-Chief ofthe Public Works Department, incor-porated in the statement of the pro-posed improvements and new works,mado by tho Minister of Bailways in1924, i.e., prior to the commencementof the Tawa Flat deviation. ■

"AVitu regard to the line now exist-ing," ran the report, "and on whicha certain amount of traffic to servethe suburbs of Ngaio, Khandallah, andJolmsoiiville will bo necessary, it hasoccurred to me that it mightbe possibleto transfer this line, at a price to beagreed upon, to the Wellington CityCouncil, and that' they could utilisethe formation for an extension of theirelectric tram system as far as John-sonvilie. This may be considered asgiving away part of the traffic nowdealt with by the Railway Department,and would no doubt require to be care-fully considered.

"There is another point in connec-tion with the deviation which shouldnot be lost sight of," continued thereport, "and that is, with a level doubleline two miles shorter than the presentone, all the flat country between TawaFlat and Pliinnierton would be broughtwithin close range of Wellington, andin fact suburban passenger trains couldbe run from Plinimertou to Wellingtontv less time than trams now tako fromMiramar to the same place."

THBEE POINTS OF VIEW.The idea of trams to Johnsonville,

through Ngaio and Khandallah, is a bigone, but tho way to its attainment isblocked by several awkward hurdles,most of them financial. "At a price tobe agreed upon," for instance, is avery awkward one indeed, for the cityhas no surplus tramway funds, and theEailway Department, having laid outa great sum in the short length throughthe difficult hill country to Johnsonville,can scarcely be expected to hand theline over for just a song. On the otherhand, it may be asked, how can theEailway Department possibly carry ona service over a short length of line,over which, when tho Tawa Flat line isopened,1 practically nothing but subur-ban passenger traffic will bo carried.Then tho third question, from tho thirdpoint of view: If the city does not takethe lino over and the Eailway Depart-ment is disinclined to maintain an un-profitable suburban passenger serviceon a dead-end line, how are those wholive at Johnsonville, Khandallah, andNgaio going to get along1} Buses coulddo tho job,but bus fares must alwaysbe higher than season ticket orworkers' ticket fares on the railway,.and tho bus solution will therefore notnearly satisfy tho. people who live inthose threo railway (and bus) suburbs.Tho fact that as a railway track thoWellington-Johnsouvillo length is in-efficient—as proved, of course, by theprosecution of the Tawa Flat scheme—would be tho city's strongest argumentfor a very low price "to bo agreedupon," but even low prices are highwhen times are hard.

Moreover, tho city has no great fath-erly interest in Johnsonville, and whenin the past somewhat shy advances havebeen made by that district for an amal-gamation with the city, Wellington hasbeen cold and -haughty;—Wellingtonhas doubts whether more amalgamationwould be good business at all.

EASY GRADES AND CUEVES.There is no question that if all the

difficulties could be smoothed away andtho council did decide upon trams toJohnsonville, tho rail track, unsatisfac-tory from a railroad point of view,would make a bonny tramroute. Thereis no necessity for-a double track. Thegrades are too severe for heavyrailwayhaulage, but they are as dead flat whencompared with the one in twelvepinches taken by Brooklyn and Kilbir-nie trams (up.to the tunnel mouth inPirie street), and the curves, sharp asrailway curves go, are excellent astramway curves, but against those ad-vantages would be the long' stretches ofrunning between passengerpoints.

To sum up: the Eailway Department,presumably, will not want the linegreatly when tho Tawa Flat deviationis completed. The City< Council, assur-edly, will not want to pay for a form-ation that it may lay more miles of notprofitable threepenny fare tram track.The residents of the three suburbs,alone, would appear to be. keenly con-cerned in a very interesting possibility.Eventually all three suburbs must pos-sess much greaterpopulations than theyhave to-day and fast, cheap, and plen-tiful transport will become the morenecessary—but to-day times aro veryhard.

INSTITUTE BATHS

UPKEEP BURDEN

GYMNASIUM PROPOSAL

SUBSIDY IN DOUBT

The Management Committee of theWellington Boys' Institute, at itsmonthly meeting on Monday, decidedthat in the event of the City Councilsubsidy for its tepid baths not beingreceived in future, tho baths will beconverted into a gymnasium. Thechief reason for the decision is thattho baths show an annual loss whichthe institution cannot bear without thecouncil's assistance. Apart from thefact that the baths aru available to allsections of tho community, tho matteris of some interest to the city, in viewof tho repeated but unsuccessful at-tempts mado during the last twelveyear3or so to induca tho City Councilto establish municipal tepid baths. Atone stage theproject put forward wouldhave cost some .£76,000. During thevarious City Council discussions on thematter it was stated that Auckland hadproved that there could bo no greaterwhite elephant than a tepid swimmingpool, and it has been stated that Dun-edin has lost as much as £2000 in ayear on its tepid baths, while Christ-church's average loss on these facili-ties to the public is about £1000. Itis true that the Institute.Baths are notas centrally situated as they might be,but- their contribution to the generalexperience of a loss on tepid bathsserves to suggest that Wellington ispossibly fortunate that it did not ac-cede to the £76,000scheme in those far-off days when every .new project wassurrounded with a gilded halo.

NOT REALLY WANTED.With tho City Council subsidy, the

Institute Baths shows a loss of £200a year, so that without it, the institutewould lose £400a year, which naturallyit cannot afford. The subsidy is not,as many people might imagine, for thegeneral assistance of tho Institute, butis purely towards the maintenance ofthe baths. Though at one stage thebaths were fairly well patronised, to-day there is an almost complete lack otinterest in them by tho life saving

clubs and swimmii.< clubs during thewinter and still less during the sum-mer. Though the subsidy was obtain-ed on the last occasion, for this year,the attitude of the City Council wasnot altogether encouraging, and as theInstitute is sadly in need of a gym-nasium, the lack of; which is causing

it to loso members of Soccerand Eugbyteams to other clubs which have suchtraining facilities, it is felt-that theinstitution wouldreach safer ground byconverting the baths into a gymnasiumat a cost of little more than the, an-nual City Council subsidy, thereby re-lieving itself of a probable annual loss.The alternative is to build a gymnasiumoutside, which would cost some £1000to complete, but this would leave thearea now occupied by the baths unusedin the event of tho discontinuance ofthe subsidy, which seems probable. "

_When the 'Wellington Boys' Insti-

tute was built, tho question of tepidbaths was fully discussed,and the pos-sibility that it mightnot bo a payableventure was put forward, but this wasoverruled by the question of publicutility. The use of the baths over aperiod of years has' not shown thatthere is sufficient Tmblic demand fortheir use. Anyone may make use ofthem by payment, and there are hoursfor women and girls. The fact thatthe baths must be kept ready at allhours makes the heating expensive.LOANS BOARD UNFAVOURABLE.The provision of tepid baths for Wel-

lington was last seriously discussed bytho City Council in June of lastyear, when a deputation from theTrades and Labour Council broughtforward a request for hot watershowers to enablo people who hadno", adequate facilities where theylived to keep themselves clean. TheEeserves Commmittee then reeommeud-od that tho request should be accededto, and that a tepid swimming poolshould also be provided. The sum of £12,----000 available under the 1920 loan wouldprovide the facilities E.uggejstcd in ascheme which could later be extendedto take in the pool. It was then stat-ed by the chairman of the EeservesCommittee (Councillor B. G. H. Burn)that a major baths schemo' had beenU.id before theLocal Government LoansBoard tho year before, but tho boardhad declined to authorise a loan on theground that the baths were not a neces-sity. The scheme as then put forward"was estimated to cost about £76,000, or£67,544if a women's bath were omit-ted. No site was mentioned. It wasstated by tho Mayor (Mr. G-.A. Troup)that hot showers were available formen and women at the Boys' Instituteat a cost of 2d, but that they were notused to any great extent.

TOO MANY COLONELS

THE CANTEEN FUND

MEN WITH A CLAIM

(By Telegraph.) "(Special to "The Evening Post.")CHRISTCHUBOH, This Day.

"How can we get rid of all thesecolonels?" was a question raised bya number of rhoinbers at the quarterlymeeting of the Christchurch E.S.A.,.when- the constitution of the Canteen|Funds Board was under discussion. Itwas explained that a member of theboard practically had a life tenure ,foffice,and that as far as the B.S.A. wasconcerned it could not effect a change.

Several speakers expressed the viewin strong terms that it was not rightthat the colonels, who had done verylittle towards building up the fund inthe first place, should now have controlof the money.

Onespeaker told a story of an argu-ment he had had with tho board re-garding an application for assistancemade on behalf of a man. Tho boardtook tho view that because the manhad been in "kliuk"'a good deal andwas nearly always drunk when at thewar he was not worthy of- assistance."I was aghast when they told methat," tho speaker continued, "and Ipromptly told them that that was thevery man who had most claim on thefund because he had helped so much inbuilding it up."

PRICE OF GASPETONE-HUTT RATE

SOON TO BE REDUCED

HELPING CONSUMERS

A reduction of 5d a thousand cubicfeet in the price of gas was agreedupon by tho Petono and Lower HuttGas Lighting Board last night. Atpresent tho charge is 10s lOd, and thodiscount 2s lid a thousand cubic feet,making the not charge 7s lid. FromIst September next tho charge will be10s, the discount 2s 6d, and the netcharge 7s 6d a thousand cubic feet.

Mr. E. T. E. Hogg moved that thonet price of gas be reduced to allconsumers by 5d a thousand cubic feet.He thought that a reduction by thisamount might properly be mado, con-sidering the board's prospects for thoyear, and the success of tho monthsalready passed. Times were hard, andthe board should give relief to con-sumers if it could. By the reduction ithad made in wages the board wouldsave about £800 per annum, but thatwas not the only reason urging him toeffect a reduction in the price of gas.The board was now using a largo pro-portion of New Zealand coal, and at

the price being paid for it the boardshould do well. The management ofthe concern was good, aud tliere wasan excellent sale for its products. Mr.Hogg estimated that the profit for theyear might be £6000. A reduction of5d in the price of gas would mean giv-ing back to consumers no less than£2100, still leaving the board witha profit that could bo considered ade-quate and enabling some reduction tobe made of the overdraft. He mention-ed that the system under which theboard worked did not readily permitof alterations in the charges except byfivepences or multiples of sd. Hethought a reduction of 5d was justi-fiable.

STEP IN RIGHT DIRECTION.In seconding the motion, Mr. W. T.

Strand said that but for tho particu-larly strenuous times through whichthe country was passing he would nothave supported a reduction this yoarbecause tho board had to reduco a largeoverdraft which it had built up ratherthan increase the price of. gas whencoal was selling at an exorbitant price.In the present circumstances he con-sidered that a reduction in the priceof gas would be a step in the rightdirection, and that the moral effect ofit would be very great—greater per-haps than the monetary effect.

"I'm quite confident wo won't loseanything by it," said Mr. W. G. Mel-drum. He said that ho had intendedto move for a! greater reduction, buthe was now satisfied that Mr. Hogg'smotion was the best that could bemoved.

Later in the evening Mr. Meldrumrevealed that ho had had in mind areduction of 7d.

Satisfaction with the motion was ex-pressed byMr. C.P. Brockelbank. Hehad felt for some time that a reduc-'tion would have to be made.

Althoughhis idea was a reduction of3d, Mr. A. Scholefield agreed with themotion. He thought that more gasmight be sold if the price wero less.

NOT YET OPPORTUNE.In tho opinion of the chairman (Mr.

W. G. Lodder) the time was not.yptopportune to reduce the price, but intwelve months the board might be ina position to do so. Nobody, however,was more willing than he was to seethe cost of living brought down, andthough under the circumstances hethought 3d a fair'reduction, he wasprepared to fair in with the wishes ofthe board.

Mr. S. Clendonasked whether it wasnot possible that coal would be re-duced in price owing to the reductionin wages.

Mr. Lodder thought that gas saleswould drop, and he was not so optimis-tic as Mr. Hogg was regarding thisyear's profit.I Asked-for his opinion, Mr. W. P. Stur-niau, the secretary, said that the con-cern would stand the loss of the £2100by the reduction proposed. It was en-tirely a matter of policy for the boardwhether it gave tho £2100 to the con-sumers or applied the money to reducetho overdraft,, which at present wasabout £26,000. Ho had anticipatedthat a reduction of £5000-£6OUO wouldbo made in the overdraft this year, butthe proposed reduction in the price ofgas would not permit of such a reduc-tion of tho overdraft.

Mr. Meldrum pointed out the possi-bility of a reduction of \ per cent,being made on the interest on theoverdraft. That would help, he said.

The motion was put and carried with-out dissent. .

"DEVIL'S ELBOW"

SUGGESTED DEVIATION

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "The Evening Post.")

MASTERTON, This Day.A proposal by the Masterton County

Council for the immediate prosecutionof tho Devil's Elbow deviation, a workwhich would provide employment for120 men for six or eight months, andwould be of permanent value,' wasstrongly supported by the MastertonChamber of Commerceat its meetingyesterday. Passing a resolution on thosubject moved by Mr. E. M. Hodder,the chamber offered to provide 500gallons of benzine to be used in con-veying men to and from the job.

The Masterton County Council, Mr.Hodder stated, had now decided towrite to the Public Wotlis Departmentasking it to take over the work in con-junction with the Unemployment Boardoffering a contribution of £2000 incash towards the total outlay entailed.Of this contribution £1000 would beprovided by the Uriti riding by wayof a special loan, and £.300 by theCastlepoint County Council. The re-maining £700 would be provided outof the general revenue of the Master-ton County Council. The settlers con-cerned, it was understood, had offeredto give without compensation tho landrequired for the deviation. The MainHighways Board had definitely ap-proved the scheme being carried outfor the relief of unemployment in themanner proposed by the MastertonCounty Council. The Highways Boardrecognised that the schomo was soundfrom every point of view, and waseven prepared to assist financially.

RAT DESTRUCTION

VAEIOUS METHODS

POISON AND. GAS

WHY NOT A RAT WEEK ?

The article in "Tho Post" a weekor two ago on the subject of the rav-ages of rats has resulted in a numberof inquiries being made as to the bestmethods of poisoning these pests. Onecorrespondent strongly advocates thoholding of a. National Eat Week onlines similar 1o that organised in Eng-land. A National Eat Week is a Brit-ish invention, having been originatedby the technical advisor on rat destruc-tion to the British Ministry of Agricul-ture. Tho aim of Eat Week is tourge upon everybody by moans of pro-paganda the necessity for destroyingrats and to indicate how this can bestbo done. In the incossant war againstrats it is impossible always ;o keepup a high pitch of keenness,and a Na-tional Bat Week isa typically Britishcompromise between tho ideal and thepractical.

Modern conditions require somethingmore than the professional rat-catcher,and the whole subject properly comeswithin the purview 6.f tho economicbiologist and chemist. The problem ofrat destruction means much more thanthe mere eradication of rats from thisor that building area. The problem isnow one to be dealt with on scientificlines, and has world-wido application.Eats do incalculable material damage toall kinds ,oi' property, destroying andfouling food materials, burrowing intowalls and basements,and they are ac-tive agents in spreading serious disease.Of all mammalian pests, the rats andallied rodents easily take first place,not only in point of numbers,but alsofor theif- übiquity and destructiveness.

"A Practical Handbook on Bat De-struction" is a standard work on thesubject by Mr. C. L. Clarcmont, whowas research, chemist attached to theBat. Research Department, of the Bri-tish Ministry of Agriculture. In thisbook he deals with the practical meth-ods for the destruction of rats. Thesearo decided under five heads: (1) Hunt-ing! (2) trapping; (3) gassing; (4)poisoning; and (5) artificial infectionwith, disease. Each of tho first threomethods, lie points out, are somewhatlimited in their application, and requirea certain amount of practice and spec-ial knowledge if tho best use- is to bomade of them. Each is useful, in itsproper plaeo, but good results cannotbe expected unless a choice of methodsis made to suit conditions.

GASSING THE BRUTES.Several gases have been suggested

and used, such as chlorine, phosgene,hydrocyanic acid gas, carbon disul-phide, sulphur dioxide, acetylene, andeven the exhaust gases from a_ motor-car, which contain a considerableamount of carbon monoxide. Of theseonly two are of practical importance,sulphur dioxide and hydrocyanic acid,since both can be easily applied on alarge scale. Until the recent develop-ment of cyanide fumigation, sulphurdioxide had the field almost to itselfas far as rats are concerned. Sulphu-retted hydrogen, however, is a newrival, which is stated to give good re-sults. The principle, is much the samewhichever gas is used. The holes arecarefully noted, and all in each groupare stopped up with earth. Into the re-maining one the gas is introduced bymeans of a.fioxiblerubber tube, the holenaturally being at tho top if the gasused is a heavy one and at the bottomif it is a light gas. This treatment isnot very spectacular as most of therats will be killed before they get achance to bolt, but usually a, dog iskept handy. to seize any which domanageto get away. There is a cer-tain amount of risk, of course, in usingpoison gas, and due precautions" haveto be taken. :■ : . "THE BEST POISONS.

Poisoning is of the greatest import-ance as a practical means of dealingwith rats, and if suitable choice of poi-son is made the objections that it isdangerous to domestic animals and thatsmell, arises '" from rats dying underfloors and in inaccessible places can bealmost entirely, overcome. . .

The poisons most commonlyused arearsenic, strychnine, phosphorus, bariumcarbonate, and red squill. "Safetyfirst 5' maybe a hackneyed phrase, butit is a good' slogan for a rat poison,and as far as present knowledge goesred squill seems to be the best ratpoison. The handbook referred to givesfull details how it and other poisonsshould be used, and advice on the sitb'-ject can be obtained locally from theDepartment of Agriculture or from thoHealth Department.

STAGGERING FIGURES.To tackle the problem of rat con-

trol thoroughlymeans co-operation ona very wide scale,but in view of thedamage they do it would certainlyseem worth while taking some troubleto deal adequatelywith the menace.

Mr. Claremont quotes figures esti-mating England's rat population atfifty million, costing as many or morepounds per annum. The annual dam-age done by rats in the United Statesis estimated at 200 million dollars,whilst in India the total cost of therat, including losses due to plague, was£828,000,000over a period of twentyyears. One authority estimates that100 rats might eat and waste in six

months grain equivalent to over 2000quartern (41b) loaves. A hundredthousand rats in New Zealand, andthere are probably quite that number,would on that basis account for twomillion loaves a year. ilo such lossdoes in fact really take place in thisform, but such figures help to bringhomo to everyone, and to the farmingcommunity in particular, the enormouspotential loss involved in negJbcting totake adequate precautions against thedepredations of rats.

A Wellington Hat Week, or a Na-tional Eat Week for tho whole of NowZealand,might well be considered. Theauthorities, both civic and health, withthe assistance of scientists, could or-ganise it and instruct the public, fiats1may not be the menace here that theyare elsewhere,but they are numerousenough to deserve this signal attentionof a week devoted to their. wholesaleextermination.

HIGHWAYS FUNDS

INTEREST ON GRANTS

REPLY BY PRIME MINISTER

A reply was made by the Prime Min-ister (the Right Hon. G. W. Forbes) to-day to criticism which was levelled atthe Government by Mr. A. 13. Ansell,M.P., in connection with main high-ways finance. Mr. Anscll's remarkswere reported yesterday.

'The remarks of Mr. Ansell," saidthe Prime Minister, "are such, if thespeaker was correctly reported, asmight mislead the people, especially thefarmers, if not corrected. In the firstplace, for the financial year recentlycompleted,the revenues provided for theHighways Account were not only suffi-cient to cover all charges thereon, butactually left a balance of £300,000fortransfer to the ConstructionAccount."

That the speaker was not au fait withhis subject, said Mr. Forbes, was quiteclear when he said the increased petroltax went into the Consolidated Fund.Such was not the case, as a referenceto the legislation- will clearly show theincreased tax;went to the HighwaysFunds. Certain road costs and grantspreviously charged against the Consoli-dated Fund were logically transferredand charged against the additional re-venue of 2d per gallon specially pro-vided for the Highways Eevenue Fund.Mr. Ansell, in his attempt to cloud theissue,suggested, in effect, that tlie far-mer was not vitally interested in thebalancing of the State Budget,and thatthe change made by the Governmentwas not in the farmer's interests.

"Let me say," remarked the PrimeMinister, '' that the change was essen-tial in thp interests of the taxpayersof the Dominion, in which category thefarmers play no small part,"

The original proposal introduced bythe Government, and explained in theBudget, prdviaed for an additional taxof 3d per gallon, of which Id per gal-lon, estimated to produce in normaltimes £350,000per annum, was intend-ed for expenditure on backblock roads,and it was due to Mr. Ansel! and someof his supporters that this material helpto the farmers was excluded from thelegislation.

"A further statement by Mr. Ansell,as reported, is equally incorrect andmisleading, wherein he remarked thattho Government had withdrawn. fromthe roads £516,000," said Mr. Forbes."As already pointed out, the Govern-ment provided for tho extra funds re-quired to enable the Highways Accountto meet highways.charges, viz., subsi-dies £220,000, interest £61,000,.grant£35,000; total £316,000. The balanceof £200,000 represents loan funds forconstruction purposes, "which are notwithdrawn at all, but arc borrowedunder highways loan authorities in lieuof under Public Works loan authori-ties, as was formerly done." 'STRONG INDIGNATION

A LOST GRANT

PROFESSOR'S SALARY

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)DUNEDIN, 21st July.

At a meeting.of the Otago UinversityCouncil this afternoon a letter was re-ceived from the Minister of Educationstating that the Government wasunable to reconsider its decision towithdraw the grant for. the salary ofthe Professor of Education. .

Mr. Stephens said he thought thatthe council should express strong in-dignation at the Government havingdone what no private person woulddream of doing—broken a definitepledge. He would move in thisdirection.

Mr. Eennie seconded the motion. Thecouncil had recently raised the salaryof the Professor of Education, he said,as it did not consider that he was inthe same position as the other pro-fessors. It would not have committeditself to this expenditure if it hadknown that the Governmentwould takethe action it had taken. .

Mr. G. B. Eitehie: "I think we arepretty well over-educated as it is. ItwouM.not do any great harm if wodid without the Professorof Education.I commend the Government for itsaction.",- .

Mr. Thomson opposed the motion. ,Hesaid that the: Government was in abad way. Grants to hospitals had beenlowered, and he thought it would beunbecomingon the part of the councilto pass the motion. [

Mr. Stephens pointed out that thecircnmstances ' were not parallel.Hospitals had not been requested toappoint a permanent officer with apromise of his salary if they did so. Theappointment of the Professorof Educa-tion was made in pursuance of a directpromise made by the Government. Itwould not have been made otherwise.

The motion, on being put to themeeting, was carried with four dis-sentients. _j .

IDLE SHIFTS

WAS UNION RESPONSIBLE?

SUSPICION ONLY

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) :GBEYMOUTH, 31st July.

A claim for a penalty of £500 fromthe Grey Valley Miners' Union for analleged breach of section 15 of theLabour Disputes Investigation Act, inthat there was an unlawful strike ofmembers on 17th June at the WallsendMine, was made by the Labour Depart-ment in the Magistrate's Court to-day.

The manager,Mr. Smith, stated thatthe mine was idle during three shifts.■Witness last Mayreceived a letter fromthe union secretary, Wm. Purdy, whowas named as defendant in the charge,requesting that one Walker, who was amember of the Briandaie tribute party,be not employed as surveyor in thecolliery. Walker, however, was em-ployed surveying iv the mine on 17thJune. A meeting of miners was heldafter the miners had ascertained thatWalker was employed, and idle shiftsfollowed. The union vice-president hadlater stated that the men would takea holiday any timo Walker was em-ployed. Walk or wfis not an employeeof the company as surveyor, although amember of the tribute party at Brian-dale.

The defendant Portly produced theunion's minute book showing that theunion in May resolved to request thecompany not to employ Walke/. Theunion, however,convened no meeting toinstigate a strike. Witness had toldMr. Davies, tho inspector of awards,who prosecuted, that the mine wouldprobably be idle if Walker workedthore.

Mr. Brosnan, for the union, contendedthat there was no evidence that theunion had instigated the stoppage. Thoinspector had failed to' prove thecharge.

Mr. Davies argued that no disputeexisted, but the letter of the unionsecretary, combined with the action ofthe officials and tho stoppage, provedtho alleged breach.

Tho Magistrate, Mr. Moldruni, heldthat while there was a suspicion ofunion responsibility, no proof of it hadbeen adduced. lie dismissed the in-formation.

LAND TAX "IMPOSITION"

"It is difficult to got members ofParliament'to cut off their own heads;they don't like that," remarked theLeader of the Opposition (the RightHon. J. 6. Coatos), when asked at Opu-nake on Monday ■whether ho favouredforty members of Parliament insteadof eighty.

Mr. Coatessaid that "where it waspossible to make real economies, de-Measo taxation, and roduec govern-

mental costs, it should be done, and'it' eighty members could bring clownthese costs you would be well satia-ted."

" Mr. ,T.O'Eorke: "Forty men should>ie sufficient to do for one and a half'million people.". Mr. Coates: "My electorate is 150miles long, and it takes a long time toget over it. lam afraid..l have ne-.fleeted them too much; I. don't knowwhat they ■will do witli me, If my elec-torate were 'made double the sizeI should not see all the electors oncein three years."

Mr. O'Borke: "Cut out some of thecities,,and- give the country the same."

Mr. Coatest:"I am prepared to con-sider the suggestion."

Another questioner asked Mr. CoatesIns views on the land tax, by whichfanners were taxed on their debts.

Mr. Coates: "It is quite true thatmuch land tax will bo paid out of capi-tal this year. It is simply an imposi-.lion, and makes it a struggle for somepeople to carry on. The land tax inwild areas simply assists in depopulat-ing those areas. There is nothing to begained by taxing a man heavily if he!is not able to pay it, and in some casesleaseholds have gone out of use as theresult of land tax."

RELIEF SYSTEM

TRICKS AND REMEDIES

CASES TAKEN ON MERITS

At its meeting to-day the WellingtonUnemployment ' Committee passed aresolution that iv the event of a manbeing assisted with boots or clothingby any society, and pawning, selling, otothcrwiso disposing of them for hisown gain, he will automatically ecaseto be employed by the bureau, to which)and to all societies and bodies providingrelief, his name will be immediatelynotified. All boots now being issuedare-being numbered,and tho police haveagroed to co-qporato iv letting the Un-employment Committeeknow who soldthem if the numbered boots arc foundin the wrong hands.

Oneof the surest b.trs to employmentby tho Labour Bureau under the No. 5scheme,or any other, is dishonesty orfalse representations made on applica-tion for work. Tho majority of themen applyingfor work have been directand truthful in their statements, whichit might be mentioned are checked upwherever possible, but there are somewho seem unable to avoid taking advan-tage of the scheme in some way or-■motherland these people suffer in eon-'sequence. There are so many deservingcases that trickery is now penalised byno further work being given, especiallywhere an attempt has been made todefraud the Labour Department or thoUnemployment Committee, by falsestatements regarding marriage, de-pendants, or circumstances.

Some of the problems set the Un-employment Committee are not easy tosolve, especially in thp absence of suf-ficient funds. There is the great bulkof men out of work who deserve everyassistance, men who are pi-aeticallydestitute. Although a further £400wasgranted last week, there are 900 menstill unemployed, against whom therois no reason whatever for refusing themwork. Those have tho prior claim overmen whoso income, small thoughit maybe, will help to keep them going. Thecommittee does not ask a man to liveupon his small capital in the SavingsBank before it will grant him employ-mentj^but it cannot tako into considera-tion a man's dobts, and if a man is'getting a privato income, he is dealtwith after more necessitous personshave been accommodated,even' thoughthe weekly call to meet.his obligationsexceeds his income. Mortgages, etc.,cannot be taken into . consideration.Then again a man who is not married is,for the purposes of the- committee, asingle man, however many dependantshis social code may have encumberedhim with. Again/a man'with a familyin England is generally treated-as asingle man here. All these cases, aretaken as far as possible on their merits,as there must be .exceptions in specialcases, but: the committee cannot actexcept on simply defined 'lines in themain.

_Tho amount of discretion exer-

cised is, however, considerable,and thisis all the more reason for a straight-forward statement of all the facts bythose whose circumstances place themon the borderline for relief.

CIIIIISTCHUECir HATES

REDUCTION OF £16,000

1 Notwithstanding the fact that the1Christchurch City Council intends to1raise au unemployment relict: loun of> £.39,500tills year, concessions iimount-

"' ing in the aggregate to nearly ,£17,000

' will lie given to the ratepayers as com-> pared with last year, says tho "Star.", That figure does not include reductions',of approximately £4000 made by other

local bodies for which the council col-lects rates, nor the concessions recently

1 made in the electricity charges.; The Mayor, Mr. D. G. Sullivan, M.P.,; while remarking that he could not give■ specific information until tho estimateshad been dealt with, remarked that

; from some source or another, informa-tion had been given to tho effect that

' there would probably bo a reduction of1 10 per cent, in the general rate this1 year. It could be assumed that when■ the Finance Committee reported on the

estimates it would be found that effect1 had been given to that undertaking.

'. ON THE GENERAL RATE.Actually the reductions in the gen-

eral rate and the water rates amountedIto more than £17,000. This amount

had to be reduced by £1086, being theinterest charges on the unemploymentloan for the first half-year, making anet saving on rates this year of over£16,000. The 10 per cent, rodnction

' which it was hoped to make would,therefore, be exceeded when the gener-al rate and the water rates were takentogether. The total saving was equal to12J per cent, of the general rate."

In addition to the reductions thatare being made by the' City Council,

' the rate for the Hospital Board, Drain-age Board, and Fire Board had been re-duced. The .aggregate .concessions totho city ratepayers made by the coun-cil and the other local bodies totalledover £21,000, from which had to be de-ducted the charges in connection withthe now unemployment loan.

ELECTRICITY RATES LOWER.There .wero also to bo taken into

account the reducing of the electricity1 charges recently by £11,772 a year,of which nearly, £8000 would benefitthe consumers in the current year, saidMr. Sullivan. Including these reduc-; tions, the total concessions given bythe council to the ratepayers this yearwould amount to about £24,000, or,with the concession made by other local■ bodies, a grand total over £28.000.i "More ampleprovision for the relief

NEW WELLINGTON BOAT

In-view of the fact that.the SandersCup, the ■ bluo riband of .centreboardyachting in New Zealand, will be de-fended by Wellington early next year,more than usual interest attaches to thebuilding by Mr. E. Bailey, the well-known local boat builder, of a newSona-Jellicoe 14ft centreboard yacht.The hull has been completed and var-nished inside, and is to be franch pol-ished. The new boat, which has notyet been named, is owned by a syndi-cate comprising Mr. D. K. Blair, a for-mer commodore of the Royal PortNicholson Yacht Club, and Mr. A. Cole-man, also of Wellington. She hasbun measured by the officials of theWellington Provincial Yacht andMotor-Boat Association, and found toconform strictly to SandersCup condi-tions. Expense has not been spared inthe construction of the boat, and whenshe takes the water early in the com-ing yachting season her performanceswill be watched with interest. Shewillbe sailed by Mr. N.

ENGINEERS' WAGES

EFFECT OF THE CUT

NECESSITY FOR SACRIFICE

"It goes without saying, and rightlyin many cases, that the edict of tho,Arbitration Court iv announcing agenera] 10 per cent, reduction in awardrates will not be looked upon favour-ably," states tho seventh annual re-port of the Wellington branch of the

1Marine Engineers' Institute to be pre-sented at the annual general meetingto-night.

Tho report mentions that theDominion's national income h»s beenseriously lowered by tho purchasingpower of its primary products, andcomment's that if tho shortest way tothe solution of the difficulty liesthrough wage's reduction it is onlyright that some measure of sacrificeshould be made by all' able to bear it,in the belief that this hardship will bea brief prelude to a period of prosperityand that the needful effort to bringdown the cost of living will not pre-judicially affect the standard of.'1liv-ing. It is to be hoped that the reducedwages will be the same, as regards pur-chasing power, as those paid in whatwere regarded a« normal times.

POSITION OF JUNIORS."Narrowing the issue down to our

own particular interests," continues thereport, "as far as our seafaring mem-bers are concerned we are confrontedwith the disturbing fact that ourjunior engineers will now—for a yearat least—be receiving less than thelower ratings in their department.This docs not make for contentment,apart from the standpoint of service,training, and education demanded ofthe officer, nor does it further tend to»wards the maintenance of discipline, afactor so essential in service.

"We have always contended thatthe marginal rates for marine engi-neers have not been sufficient in com-parison with those of tho lower rat-ings, and in this we are supported to a\cry great extent' by Sir Alan G.Anderson, K.8.E., president' of tho, In-stitute of Marine Engineers during1928,who in his presidential address tomombers in that year said: 'I touch nocontroversy when I say that everyyear as our mechanical knowledge im-proves the marine engineer . -grows inimportance relative and absolute. Tobe healthy a profession must rewardits votaries. If the pay and positionof the marine engineer docs not keeppace with the marine engine, if thoright men arc not tempted to serve,the marine engine will suffer and notthe engine alone. AH of us depend onsea transport,1and we shall all suffer.',

"During the Great. War, when acrisis greater than; that through which,we arc passing torday:threatened thenation, sacrifices were endured by thoflower of the nation's manhood,and aduty now rests with those, businesseswhich have enjoyed prosperity andpaid handsome dividends in the past,to consider their special duty to thecountry's wants and needs, in main-taining as many in employment aspossible. A sacrifice thus made would,bo a graceful tribute to a nation'swants." ■'.--.. ' ■ . ■ '.:

OBITUARY

MR. R. A. ARMSTRONG

Mr. Rupert Ashley Armstrong, close-ly associated with the Sports Protec-tion League, the Moderate League, andpresident, of ..tho "Wellington ■TrottingClub, died at; his residence, Park road,Lower Hutt, yesterday, aged 49.-':

The late Mr. Armstrong, who wasborn in Auckland, came to Wellingtonabout eighteen years ago, and residedat Rilbirnie for some time. He remov-ed to Lower Hutt two years ago. Whilea resident of- Auckland,, he took partin.- the formation of the Sports Protec-tion League. He acted as secretaryof tho Knyvett Defence Committee,Auckland, which took up the case ofCaptain Knyvett, who had been dis-missed the forces on the ground of al-leged insubordination, by answeringcriticism published in the Press con-corning the visit of his garrison artil-lery companyto Wellington. The com-mittee conducted a campaign in sup-port of its demand for the re-trial ofCaptain Knyvett, and succeeded in get-ting an Act passed which brought abouta re-trial. ■ ■ '■.'■'■ After coming to 'Wellington, Air.Armstrong took part'in the formationof the Moderate League of Now ..Zea-land, was secretary of tho New Zea-land Licensing Reform Association, andwas a member of, the board of theNew Zealand Trotting Association. In1917 he was elected a steward of thoWellington Trotting Club, and in 1920became chairman of committees. Twoyears later he was elected president,and he held that position until hisdeath. Mr. Armstrong early realisedthat one day's trotting was of little,benefit to the sport in Wellington, andfor some years devoted his energiesto rectifying the deficiency, to suchgood effect that'in 1925 the club wasgranted three extra, days' permits. Hesteadfastly refused, howevei, to acceptthe extra days unless an assurance wasgiven that no other club would suffer.

Mr. Armstrong realised that if thesport of trotting in Wellington was toprosper, the, AVcllington. Trotting Clubmust raise, itself from a mere countryclub to the status of other metropoli-tan clubs. With this end in view, hototally remodelled the trotting course.He caused to be constructed a newbanked racing track, a eindev track,and a dirt training track. The courseappointments were improved by theerection of a modern grandstand forinside patrons and one for the outsidepublic. A large totalisator was erectedand also a commodious range of looseboxc*. Those,with other improvements,brought the course into keeping withliis conception of what it. should be.During this time, he had conserved,thofinances of .tho club, and had wiselyguided its policy.

Tho late Mr. Armstrong is survivedbya widow, three children, his mother,aiid a brother." Tho-funev.il will leavethe residence at 11 a.m. to-morrow forKaron crmrtevy.

CHAMPIONSHIP POSITION

(By "Not Out.")The progressof this season's county

cricket championship in England isbeing marked by interesting develop-ments, ami the changing fortunes ofthe counties are making it very diffi-cult to determine the ultimate winners.At one stage Kent's prospects appear-;ed to be bright, but this county hasbeen having a bad spin of late and hasidropped to sixth place, on equal termswith Surrey. Gloucester made an earlystart which gave the impression thatthey were going to be hard to over-take, but they have been passed in turnby other counties, Notts being onecounty to hold the lead for a time. Arun of good' performances by Nottswas checked ''recently, and efforts togain "fifteen-pointers" have had poorresults. This county has now droppedto third place, after having had a leadoil eleven points two weeks ago. Glou-cestershire remains in a handyposition,only five points behind Yorkshire,i-whose recent run of success has beensplendid. "Earlier in tho season Yorkshire Hada bad spin, largely through tho wed.;ther preventing decisions even on thefirst innings, but of late a great rc-lc.overy.has been made, as indicated in|the cabled message.The points'for" anoutright win give a big lift to theteams, and Yorkshire has had a. liberalsupply of these just lately,:as also hasSussex. From tenth place justover twid■weeks ago Sussexhas jumpedright upto fourth placo, four of the last fivematches having been won outright. Sus-sex's advance1 has been even rnoro re-markable than, that of Yorkshire, al-though the latter county has gained thedistinction of taking the leading place,in which it has the advantage also ofhaying played one match less thanGloucestershire (in second place). Lan-cashire is not making much headway,and will have to do remarkably wellto make up the leeway necessaryin or-der to retain the championship title.Kent, now in sixth place, will also haveto come.with a tremendous rattle. Mid-dlesex, after having regained much ofthe ground lost last year, is again fall-ing away, and in its last five matcheshas dropped from sixth to tenth place.

The counties still have nine or morematches to play before the champion-ship finishes, and the bidding for fif-teen-point wins is likely to bring aboutfurther interesting developmentsas thecompetition proceeds.

CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE.According to the cabled results of

county matches, the championship tableis as follows:—

SECOND TEST AT THE OVAL

(By "Not Out.")The selection of B. J. Gregory as

England's twelfth man for the secondTest with New-Zealand points furtherto the fact that this Test is. to be■played at the Oval ami not ut Man-chester, as l\:id boon mentioned in onoreport. 'Gregory is a Surrey player,with tlie Oval his headquarters, andas ho is regarded as one of tlio. best.fieldsmen in England, it would seemthat ho is the right man iv the right

place. Tho usual procedure is to callupon a good-fieldsmanas twelfth man,and in doing this.the.English selectorshave taken the best man available atthe ground on which the Test is to beplayed. It is not only in fielding,however, that Gregory is prominent asa player; he is quite a good bat, anda very useful bowler.. He has beenplaying for Surrey for some years, andis now almost 29 years of ag-e.

The eleventh man for England'steam is still to be chosen.

A three-day match with tho Com-bined Services is to bo commonwjd bythe New Zealand team at Portsmouth

" to-day. During their short stay atPortsmouth the tourists will be guestsat the Royal Naval Barracks. The re-turn match with Hampshiro is to beplayed by the Now Zealand cricketersat Bournemouth,commencing on Satur-day, and immediately after this thesecond Test will bo played at the Oval,starting next Wednesday. This Testtakes the place of the.match with Sur-rey. ' ■

PROCLAIMED LAND

COMPENSATION CLAIMS

TAWA FLAT DEVIATION

Evidence relating principally to thevalue of" the properties and the esti-mated loss, suffered "by the owners asa result of portions being proclaimedfor railway purposes at Tawa .Flat wasgiven in the Supremo Court yesterday iafternoon and to-day at the. continua-ltion of the heaving of the compensationclaims for £2877 10s and £2488respec-tively made against the Minister ofPublic Works by the Public Trustee (asexecutor of the will of the late EdwardWilliam Earp) and William DouglasThomas Steele, .

Mr. Justice Keed presided, and, theassessors associated with his Honour jwore Mr. S. liarcourt (for the|claimants) and Mr. 13. Bold (for theCrown).

Mr. J. F. B. Stevensonappeared forthe Public Trustee; Mr. J. M. Dale forWilliam Douglas Thomas Steele; andMr. J. Prendeville Solicitor)for ihe Crown. , ~:■..

Alexander Anderson Gellatly, seniorpartner in the firm of Messrs. J. H.Bethune and Co.,said he first inspected|Mr. Steele's property in October, 1928. jIn June of last year, after the railwaywork was well under way, he made areport, which showed that he estimated'the loss suffered by Mr. Steelo as aresult of part of his land being takenat £2279.

Witness, in reply to Mr, Prendeville,said he did not agree altogether' thatthe construction ;of the .railway- hadgiven Mr. Steele's property,a betterselling value.

"HOME TO LUNCH— " :Mr. Dale quoted the advertisement,

"Home to lunch in 15 minutes,"adopted in connection ■ with the sale ofsections at Tawa Flat. Counsel sug-gested, and witness agreed, that thejourney from Wellington to Tawa Flatcould be done in a motor-car in as quicka time as the 15 minutes it was adver-tised the train would take when, thedeviation was-completed.

Mi1. Prendeville chuckled, and askedwhat it was suggested it would cost infines.

Witness said the distance by roadfrom Tawa Flat to Wellington was onlynine miles.

As to the Earp property, witnessestimated the value to the owner ofthe land taken for railway purposes at£2360.

,iMr. Justice Keed asked witness ifhe did not think-he-was-being bpti:mistie in-valuing-;the old homestead "onthe property,'with the- railway -trackat the back of the place, at £1200.

Witness said he-did not-think so. Itwas a big-house, arid there was a bigarea of land. .:.:..■ *.:\

Replying to Mr. Prendeville, witnesssaid he would give a balance of 15years as the life of the-house. ~:

Mr. Justice Reed: "If it hasn't gotthe worm in it,' a- Wooden--'house willlast for a very long time. Take Govern-ment House in Auckland; it must be-70----yearsold,.'and is as'sound as evel' itwas; but they have kept the worm outof it." \ : ' ■

ROAD V. RAIL.Mr. Bold: "As a land salesman,what

factor would you stress niost if youwere doing-your best to induce peopleto purchase these sections?" :

Witness said that what would occurto him first was the good bitumen road.There were also other factors,, such astho beauty of the surroundings.

Mr. Bold: "Do you consider there isany comparison whatever as a meansof access to these two "properties be-tween circuitous road from Wellingtonby bus with perhaps dozens of inter-mediate stops as against railway tran-sit with this property as " the firststopping place—either for time orcost?"—"Tho public prefer the roadwhen they can use it. The differencein time is very -little."

"Would a bus do the journoy in 25minutes?"—"I think so."

Boy George Mexted, a partner inthe firm of: Dunbar Sloane, Ltd., saidho was born in Tawa Flat, and hadwide experience in selling land in TawaFlat. He had inspected Mr. Steele's'property with Messrs. Thomson andGellatly and estimated the total valueof the land taken and tho injuriousef-fect .to the property at £ 2613. Overthe last three years his firm had soldbetween 700 and 800 sections at TawaFlat, of a total value of between £100,----000 and £170,000.

"NO SUB-DIVISIONAL MARKET."In answer to Mr.Prendeville, witness

said that while he agreed other pro-perties in Tawa Flat had benefitedby the new railway line, he did nottl'iink that applied to Earp's andSteele'sland. Ho considered the claim-ants' land had a market for sub-divi-sional purposes before the railway.wentthrough,but now he felt sure it couldnot bo sub-divided satisfactorily at all;therefore, it could not bo said thattho lands had derived any benefit bytho new railway line.

Witness said he estimated the valueof the Earp property in 1928 at £4000;its saleable value as a result of therailway work had been reduced £2000,and that estimate did not take intoaccount the value of the trees that hadbeen cut down. In his opinion, froma sub-divisional pointof view, the Earpproperty, without the railw;iy work,would liavo returned aprofit of £2903,and, now, that sum was lost to theesta to. i

William Alexander Thomson,memberof the firm of Thomson and East, Ltd.,also gave evidence about losses sufferedby the owners of the two .properties.

NEED FOR ENCOURAGEMENT

REQUEST TO GOVERNMENT

The question, of encouraging andassisting those who make a living byfarming small plots within the urbanareas was raised by a deputation fromthe Tomato and Small-Fruit Growers'Association, which waited on the Minis-ter of Internal Affairs (the Hon. P. A.de la Perrelle) to-day. The deputationwas introduced by Mr, W. J. Poison(Independent, Stratford)..

The first speaker, - Mr. G. A. Green,referred to the fate of the Urban FarmLands Bating" Bill, which was" intro-duced about ayear ago, and which wasdropped owing to the objections raisedby local aiith'ofities" all- over theDominion. Those engaged in .tomatoand small-fruit growing within urbanareas had wantedrelief from the burdenof their rates then, he. said, and reliefwas even more urgently required at thepresent time. He urged the Ministerto endeavour,to place legislation on theStatute Book to provide the necessaryrelief.

The position of the, growers was adifficult one, the Minister said, and hewould be pleased to make inquiries intothe matter. If anything eoul.d be 'Vpnehe would bring it before Cabinet assoon as possible. They all knew -thata Bill had been introduced, but owingto the objections raised- it. could notbe proceeded with.

Mr. Green explained that .the tomatoarid small-fruit growers had combinedwith the poultry farmers to set up acentral committee in Wellington, andif conferenceswere necessarythat com-mittee would be available to theMinister., at any. time. :..■:■".' .:

' Mr. Perrelle said that he would gointo the matter, very carefully, and seeif it would be possible to frame a Billto meet the desires of all sides. " ■'■

The question of framing,regulationsto compel'retailers to state the, originof. the tomatoes offered for pale wasthen raised by Mr. W. Copping, whosaid that many retailers made > prac-tice of labelling field tomatoes as hot-house grown. There was also similartrouble regarding Island tomatoes.

The Minister said that that was amatter for the consideration of theIndustries and Commerce Committee,and he would instruct his officers to gointo the matter and see what could bedone. - " , .■;. . " - . I

THE LAW BROKEN

A SLWDAY GATHERING

HELD TO BE ENTERTAIN-MENT

(By Telegraph.—Press■ Association.)".AUCKLAND, This Day."

Judgment was given to-day in theCity Council's favour in a test case-todetermine whether -certain Sunday gath-erings in theatres are legal.

A. P. Wylio, secretary of the Auck-land' 'Philosophical Society, was fined£.6 and costs for a breach'of section309 of the Municipal Corporations Act,which provides that no concert or en-tertainment may be held on" Sunday,Good Friday, or. Christmas Day exceptwith the permission of the. council. I

The Magistrate, Mr. W, E; M'Kean,)said that a more statement by ii pro-moter that the main-item of interestjin a three hours' entertainment was ailecture occupying thirty minutes wasnot ot' itself sufficient to. fix the realnature of tliu proceedings. The factthat instruction was given did not pre-vent what would otherwise be1 anamusement from coming within the du-linitioii of "entertainment."

The Magistrate concluded by sayingthat ho was not -concerned with thequestion of permitting Sunday ' nightentertainments.' Ho was satisfied thatthere had been a breach of the law,and that it was not committed in ignor-ance. ' '. -"-.--■ , ■". ."...■.

BRITISH SHIPPINGSHARES AT A DISCOUNT

VARIOUS EXAMPLES"EveningPost," 22nd July.

'.Profits seem to be a vanishing quantityfor. the British shipowner, and they arealmost entirely influenced,by low freights

and contraction in trade. A London ship-ping journal last month remarked thatsince the beginning of this year, theLondon Stock Exchange had experienceda very lean time, "largely because thepublic has lost conadence in its leader-ship" The slackness of business has ledto many first-class industrial securities,more especially ordinary shares, beingmarked down to values much below then-intrinsic worth, even in these days ortrade depression. Naturally, the securi-ties of the leading British shipping com-panies have been affected like those ot

many-other industries.Three reasons given for this demoralisa-

tion of the stock markets, in regard toshipping securities in particular, are:The pressure of the big banks taking ashort view,especially in Borac of the portswhere large blocks of shares have beenheld as security against overdratts; tneinfluenceof stockbrokers who have beenadvising clients to buy gilt-edged securi-ties which have been rising rapidly; thegeneral demoralisation due to political un-rest and the conseciuent falling oil in

'iirV group of British shipping com-panies' ordinary and preference shares anddebentures,it is shown that their nomi-nal value is £110,591,000,with actual mar-ket value at the end of 'December lasto£ £83,147,000.They had fallen by £1-,----433.000 by 31st May last, or 14.9 per cent.Ordinary shares fell heaviest,and weredown by over; 30-per cent;; preferenceshares fell by 13.7 per cent., and deben-tures by 5.1 per cent.

REDUCED PROFITSSOUTHERN CROSS BUILDING

SOCIETY

■Theeigh'th annual report and statementof accounts issued by^.the directors of theSouthern Cross.Permanent Building So-ciety covers a period of fifteen months,asit has-been deemed advisable to perman-ently change the closing date of the finan-cial-year' to 30th June. The reportstates that "the year justended has beenone of increased unemployment,with tlieresult that leniency has had to ■be ex-tended to many mortgagors. Under thepresent conditions of falling values it liasnotbeen considered advisable tocharge upthe- full amount of the usual interest onthe' society's advances,and, consequently,the profits are shown at a low figure. Theprofit for the period under review is £130uPs 7d,of which £1300will be transferredto reserve (making a total o£ £4000), andthe balance carried forward. :

"There has been a decrease in the ordi-nary deposits, this being due to the re-payment of a- number of larger fixeddeposits. This, however,has been morethan counterbalanced by the increase inthe home bank section,which consists ofsmall accounts. The cash reserve estab-lished for fluctuations is steadily beingbuilt up."

_~.,'.

Chief items in the balance-sheet are:—Liabilities: Paid capital, £75,934;Bank ofNew Zealand,£28,143;Public Trust, £19,----257; deposits (fixed) £710i, (at call)£33,127. Assets: Loans on mortgage,£111,230;freehold land and buildings,£46,908;cash in hand, £5000;home banks,£3635. Net profits for the year ending31st March, 1930,were £5079, and the rateof dividend then paid was 6% per cent,per annum.

NEW ZEALAND PRODUCTS

(Received 22nd July, 11 a.m.)LONDON, 21st July.

The Empire Marketing Board has estab-lijhed an exhibition shop in the famousNorth Country seaside resort, Blackpool.New Zealand is the first Dominion occu-pant, and has a splendid display of dairyproduce, lamb, honey, and apples.

The opening ceremony was performed byMr. William Lunn, M.P., Under-Sccrctaryfor the Dominions,in the presence of theMayor and leading Blackpool traders.

INTEREST RATESJS REDUCTION TO THE

GOOD ?

"1 am certain that the reductionin interestrates announced bythe Premieris going to fall far short of the conse-quences he anticipates and also to pro-duce gome consequences which-he doesnot anticipate."—Mr. D. Seymour, chair-man Hamilton . Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Seymour assured' the Waikato"Times" that the publicat largeobstinatelyrefuses to recognise that moneyis a com-modity whoso value (or interest rate) isdetermined by supply and demand. How-,ever wrong the popular view might be,politicians, particularly in election year,would do nothing to combat it. Statelending at less than market value in NewZealand had discouraged saving and drivenprivate lending away from land securityto speculative investment or bank de-posits. .

There was as much "money" in NewZealand as ever, but investors would notput it out, because they considered thereturn inadequate to,the risk taken. Theinvestor was prepared to risk fluctuationsin the market caused , by the law ofsupply and demand;but he was not pre-pared to risk arbitrary alterations in hisinvestment contract made ,by the Stateat the instance of interested parties. Mr.Seymour held that if confidenceis to berestored,the first step should be to repealthe Mortgagors' Relief Act, and failingthat, for the Government to declareunequivocally that the Act would in nocircumstances,be extended after due date"of expiry. . ;

He had no doubt whatever that thereduction in interest rates by Governmentpressure would react detrimentally on theinvestment market. Money would tendto become scarcer than ever.

OCEAN BEACH FREEZINGWORKS.

The OceanBeach Freezing Works thisseason established a record for the pro-vince by putting through over 400,000sheep and lambs. Theprevious record fora single works was 330,000,these figuresbeing put up last year by the same com-pany. In connection with the presentseason's kill, it is of interest to note thatthe 400,000mark has only been passed atone .other freezing works in the whole ofthe, South Island, the honour going to aCanterbury companywhich holds tins re-cord to date.

In addressing you in previous years Ihave ventured to make certain observa-tions on the ruling economic conditions.I think you will agreewith me that awise man in the present circumstancessays very little and gets on with his busi-ness—SirEric Hambro, HambroY Bank,Ltd:, Londor

NAVY LEAGUE GIRLSGOOD RECORD OF WORK

Mrs. P. Marshall, president of thegirls' branch of the Navy League, con-gratulated members at the annual meet-ing on the good work done during theyear. ■

It was statod that there are ISOmembers on the roll, although a pro-portion of these are not financial. Thegeneral conditions meant that the yearwas a >quiet one, although the bulk ofthe work was carried on, and the girlscontributed their " quota to Mrs.Harding's clothing fund. Resolutionsof sympathy were passed to the rela-tives of the late Mrs. Harding (whosedeath is a great loss to the.branch),also to Mrs.'Firtli on the death of herhusband, the late Mr. J. P. Firth,C.M.G., and to Mrs. Chudley on thedeath of her husband, the late CaptainChudley. During the year a farewellparty was given in honour of the presi-dent, Mis. A. E.. Brown, prior to herdeparture for a visit overseas. Thebranch members attended the presenta-tion of a flag from the Navy Leagueto. Scots College, the Christinas partyat the Red CrossHospital, the presenta-tion of a flag at Marsden School, andmade a special effort to provide blousesfor some of tho Napier girls now atWellington College. The branch com-bined with the Ladies' Auxiliary incollecting funds for tho earthquakesufferers on the Navy League '' streetday." It had been decided not to holdthe usual bridge party this year, butowing to the kindness of-Mrs. KeithKirkcaldie in lending her home, thecommittee had been arranging smallparties of three tables monthly, andwould be glad to hear of members whowill make up tables, the proceeds tobe devoted 'to general expenses.

It" was decided by the ladies'auxiliary that during' the year 1931girls whose, membership has. lapsed mayrejoin the branch without- paying sub-scriptions in arrear. ' '■""-.

"It"was announced that Mrs. Marshallhad kindly consented to hold the posi-tion of president in tho absence ofMrs. A. E. Brown.

VALUE OF GARDENINGLEAGUE OF MOTHERS

"Mary, Mary, quite contrary, howdoes your garden grow?" put to musicby the "Juvenile Choir" of the LowerHutt branch of the Leaguo of Mothors,was the greeting accorded Mrs. H.Fisher, as she entered the hall to ad-dress the members on "Gardening."Thcro was a large attendance of en-thusiastic and interested women, and awealth of valuable knowledge was gain-ed at the meeting. Before the ad-dress, Mrs;»W. H. Phillips sang twodelightful solos,"Godin a Garden" and j"Thank Godfor.a Garden," which was]followed by a Fay Inchfawn .. poem,"Bunty and the Seed Patch," charming- jly read by Mrs. Lopdell. Mrs. Kersley,introducing the speaker (Mrs. Fisher),presented her with a- seedling trowel,decorated with ;heath and early springflowers.

"Gardening," Mrs. Fisher said, "is aparticularly interesting hobby forwomen, especially for mothers, as flow-ers are just like children, needingcareful feeding and close attention."Then she quoted from the Bible: "Andthe Lord God planted a garden. .and took the man and put him intothe garden to .dress it and keep it."Thus,from-the beginning a garden wasgiven to man to improve and cultivate.Mothers were .urged to train theirchildren to love gardening, to. givethem good ground and good plants, forthey make most successful gardeners.

Mrs. Fisher's demonstration of. seedplanting was followed most closely byall, and many who thought they knewall about this particular feature, dis-covered that there was 'much to leara,and as a result there should be bettergeneral success with seedlings in future.One thing, in particular .Mrs.. Fisherimpressed on her hearers was to plantseed most sparingly. By. doing this,she said, practically every seed, wouldgerminate. As far as gardening ingeneral is concerned,■ many valuablehints were given. As the chief causeof failure .is starvation, Mrs. Fisheradvised that everything that usuallyis put into the rubbish tin be dug■into the ground,, as everything thathas once known life is full of nitrogen,so essential to plant life. Anothercauseof failure is "garden indigestion."Plants can be over-fed. Lime is thechief corrective, and should bo usedfreely, exceptions.being rhododendrons,azaleas,Japanese irises, and Ericas. Allberry and fruit-bearing plants, she stat-ed, must have lime in plenty. Garden(ire ashes are most valuable food forall plants,' and should always be duginto the ground.

"Busy mothers will find gardeningmost restful," said Mrs. Fisher, "as itbrings life, health, and happiness. Whentired, do not overdo it, but garden rea-sonnbly, and it will bring with it restand Ire'aling—a joyous thing." Shealsorecommended' that those with limitedgarden space should grow useful things."There should be no need for hungrychildren," she said, "as everything need-ful for sustaining life can bo producedin quite a small plot-—carrots, lettuce,spinach, etc./ Unemployment need notbo the men nee it is if the gardens areutilised to their fullest capacity."

Several questions were risked by thumembers,which- Mrs. Fisher answeredclearly and fully.

Mrs. Jarman proposed a hearty voteof thanks to the speaker, which wascarried-with acclamation. The meet-ing closed with the singing of theNational Anthem. "MAKING SURE

NO MORE GATE-CRASHERS

Several prominent persons who ar-rived .as wedding guests at St. Mar-garet's, Westminster, on Ist Juno with-out theirprinted invitation forms foundthemselves treated as "gato-crashers,"and they were uuablo to enter lliocluu'cli until they could bo vouchedfor (states a London correspondent).Tho marriage was that of ViscountIlarcotui—whose mother, a fashionableAmoriciin, has often acted as hostessto the King and Queen—and tho Hon.Rlizaboth Grosvenov,only daughter ofLord and Lady Ebury. Instructionshad been .given that every precautionshould bo taken to prevent uninvitedguests from attending the ceremony.J.n-st.Ciulof the csisiial insjieetion of invi-liiUoiis "by :i pnlicoman at .tlio g.'do,wlii'-h is iisnaUy rlonc :ii a big weddingat, St. Margaret's, the verger aloud on

One of the first people to be stoppedwas Mrs. Arthur James, who is a god-mother of tho Duchess of York and agreat friend of the younger membersof tho Royal Family. Although sheprotested that she was a relative andhad merely forgotten to bring her invi-tation, she was not allowed to go intothe church until a woman journaliststanding near assured the verger thatshe knew Mrs. James.

also asked politely to step to one sidewhen they could not produce the neces-sary passport into the church, in spiteof the fact that they had with themtheir small bridesmaid daughter, LadyJean Ogilvy, wearing her bridesmaid'sfrock. Major and Mrs. Paget were heldup in the same way, being allowed toenter after assurance had been giventhat they were genuinely guests.

At Wimborne House, whither every-one went after the ceremonyat St. Mar-garet's, Westminster, the guests walk-ed in mass formation through three re-ception rooms. They paused on the wayto shake,hands with Lord Ebury andLady Wimborne and the bride andbridegroom, before arriving for restand refreshment in the fourth room toadmire the simple wedding cake anddrink tho health of Lord and Lady Har-court in excellent champagne, servedby footmen in blue and yellow liveryand powdered hair. From the refresh-ment room they moved to the library,and so out again. By the time thegrand tour was completed they " hadwalked all round the main centre hall,where Lady Wimborne's famous blueparrot—whose plumage matched ex-actly tho hydrangeas used for tho de-corations—kept up a continual screamof protest against the strangers inter-fering with his afternoon siesta.

HERE AND THEREConcert at the Hospital,

A delightful concert and fancy-dressparade was given recently to the pati-ents in the Victoria Hospital. Manyamusing costumes were worn by thenurses, and were greatly enjoyed bythe patients.

The social programme arranged bythe Hataitai Ladies' Committee ia aidof the school ■ funds was further en-hanced by a unique entertainmentwhich was held at the Hataitai schoolrecently, in the form of a "Mad Hat-ter's" party. The largo numbor pre-sent thoroughly enjoyed the amusingitems introduced, and whole-heartedlyentered into the spirit of the occasion.Competitions, musical numbers, organ-ised games, elocutionary items, andsketches wore interspersed with modernand old-time dancing. One of the out-standing features was a paper hat com-petition, which produced many cleverand original entries, and was won byMr. and Mrs. B. T. Martin (represent-ing "the Peanut King," and "A Vege-table Garden" respectively). Songswere given by Mrs. F. H. Paul and Mr.W. Marshall; a sketch by Miss Halli-day and Mr. V.

The Eastbourne branch of theMothers' Union met at Day's Bay re:ceittly, when there was a fair atten-dance of mothers and children. TheDay's Bay ladies were tho hostesses,and Mrs. Lawton, a lady missionary atpresent in Day's.Bay, gave a very in-teresting account of her experiences .inNorthern Australia and Thursday Is-land. Afternoon tea brought a happytime to a close. ...A SuccessfulDance.

A most successful dance was held atthe Masonic Hall, Berhampore, recently,under, the auspices of the East Vogel-town Progressive Association. The hall,which was tastefully decorated, waspleasantly filled, there being about 70couples present. : Excellent music wasrondered by the orchestra, and duringthe evening a demonstration dance wasgivenlbyMiss Joan Elston and Mr. RoyMoore.

Should schoolgirls bo permitted touao powder-puffs,, rouge their lips, andemploy other artificial aids to beauty?The growing practice among French'college girls of making-up has raised acontroversy which may loiid to actionby tho Minister of Education, states awriter in a London journal. In prin-ciple,1 powder-puffs are forbidden ingirls' boarding schools, but headmis-tresses have generally confined them-selves to drawing tho attention ofpupils to the regulations and then turn-ed a blind eye to the practice. "Themodern girl," said the headmistress ofa Paris girls' college, "is so clever inthe art of make-up that it is oftenhard to say whether or not she. de-serves a' reprimand. I do not considerthe use of powder-puffs, rouge, andbeauty creams as immoral in itself, buta fresh-complcxioned girl of 16 or 17should not require any artificial aids tobeauty, and it would be deplorable' forthe good name of our boarding schoolsif the. habit were allowed to spread."Prim Debutantes.

A decided reply in 'the negativo tothe trouse.r-skirt campaign was givenat a display of debutanto fashions byLondon dressmakers staged*, recently ataKnighlsbridge hotel (statesthe "DailyMail"). Debutantes of 1931 were of-fered only mi occasional bench orcocktail pyjaiu.-i; mid ii-dinner suit—dospite the fact that the trousering ofblack taffeta frills was. ultrn-lxininine—aroused a diorus'of aluh-J.U shockeddisapproval.

'tunic!Cake 64 Years Old. .

A wedding-cake sixty-four years old,that has outlived by many years thebride for whom it was mr.de, is to finda resting-place in the State Museum oilMissouri. That is probably the bestplace for it, yet it might have: beeneaten with relish if an American pre-cedent of some years ago had beenfollowed, says the "Manchester Guar-dian." At a golden wedding.banquetat Hollywood, of all places, a cake fiftyyears old was eaten and enjoyed by acompany that included. the couple forwhose marriage it had been prepared.Exotic Dishes.

"There seema to be no end to thoexotic dishes that are being placedupon the menus of London's exclusiverestaurants," states an Englishwoman."A' little while ago, I tasted shark,soup at Quaglino's, and now I haveeaten octopus in a new place in Sohocalled 'Au Jardin dcs Gourmets.'

BOWLING CENTRE

THE COMING SEASON

PENNANT COMPETITIONS

A pleasingfeature of the year's workwas tlie increased membership ofaffiliated clubs, said the rotiring presi-dent (Mr. H. G. Mayer) at the annualmeeting of the Wellington BowlingCentra'last evening. Although the in-crease was only a small one it washoped there would bo further new mem-

[bcrs during the coming season. Inview of the financial stringency someclubs might lose members,but it wasthe duty of clubs, and tho centre aswell, to do everything possible to re-tain them. The financial position ofthe centre was, ■ all things considered,very gratifying, and was much healthierthan that of the previous season. Thatwas due to a large extent to the in-creased levy and to the fact that theChristchurch' Centre was unable tofulfil its engagement to play for theBarnett Tiki. There was, however,every possibility that Christchurehrinks, would be able to visit Wellingtonearly in the coming season.

The annual report and balance-sheet(extracts from which have alreadybeen published) were adopted after abrief discussion.

The following officers were elected:President, Mr. -M. J. Hodgius (Hutt);hoii. treasurer, Mr. J. Kershaw (Hatai-tai); executive, one delegate from eachclub, ten to form a quorum; hon. secre-tary, Mr. E. W. Shallcvass.

At a subsequent meeting of tho nowexecutive, it was decided to impose thosame levy as last year.

The president, secretary, andtreasurer were appointed a sub-eoni-mittoo to arrange for the entertain-ment of New Zealand bowlers prior totheir departure for tho Australianbowling carnival, to be held at Bris-bane, commencing 24th August.

Mr. H. i\ Clarke (Island Bay) gavenotice of Ma intention to move as fol-lows at the next meeting of the execu-tive: "In the event of a club failingto fulfil any of its senior pennantengagements, the centre may suspendsuch club from participating in thesenior pennant competition for thefollowing season."

An informal discussion took place inregard to the methods of running thecompetitions, finality in the matterbeing held over until the next meeting.

Mr. J. Doherty (Kelburn) said thathe was instructed to support the per-centage system for the senior pennant.His club wanted as many players aspossible to take part in those games,and was quite prepared to go abovethe percentage if the centre wouldallow it.

Mr. J. Kershaw said that tho HataitaiClub felt it was desirable to have morefriendly games, irrespective of theplayers in the pennant.

The Thorndon Club delegate (Mr. M.J. Casey) said his club favoured a re-version to the old system of fourpennant teams, two home and twoaway. It also supported the arrangingof friendly games. 'Mr. C. A. Rendlo (Eastbourne) sug-gested that the mid-week pennant com-petition' might be divided into twosections, and pointed out that the ex-pense of travelling'from Eastbourneto, say, Seatoun,was rather heavy, andtransport was sometimes a difficulty.

SUNDAY FOOTBALL

CLERGYMAN'S ATTACK

"I am here tonight in response, toa challenge from those responsible forthe conduct of organised Sunday foot-ball, to tho effect that I sought theshelter of my pulpit to attack thesame. Iwill now proceed to attack it'from this public platform*" declaredthe Rev. Mr. Sussex,a Methodist minis-ter, at a largely-attended gatheringafter achurch rally in a picture theatreat Te Kuiti on Sunday. The meetingwas presided over by a councillor, Mr.Blackmau. ■ . ■ . ,

After a noisy element had beenchecked by the the speaker re-ceived a fair and orderly hearing. ;

Public interest had been aroused,saidMr. Sussex,by a recent Sunday foot-ball match between railway teams,which he had criticised from the pulpit.Those remarks had been defiantly chal-lenged by a subsequent Sunday matchbetween tho Otorohanga and Te KuitiDruids. Tho Maniapoto Band had re-fused to take part, and a "ragtag andbobtail band" was substituted, andgreatly aggravated the nuisance. "I ap-pealed to my congregation to wakeup »

An interjector: "Were they allasleep?"

Mr. Sussex: "I declare it a defiantact and a disgrace to the Order ofDruids to be responsible for such ascene on arailway reserve in the centreof the town, within 500 yards of thePublic Hospital and a Sabbath Schoolwhere religious instruction was proceed-ing. Tho public domain would not begranted for the purpose. Then whyuse the railway reserve, which was onlyremoved a short distance within theborough?"

"Why don't you pray about it?"cried an interjector."I believe»in my prayers," retorted

Mr.. Sussex. "I believe also in action.David was a man of prayer, but he didnot forget to use his sling."

The Rev. G. Lawrenson, anotherMethodist minister, also supported thecase for Sunday observance, appealing,as a young man and a footballer, to thefiner and nobler feeling of footballers.

After a number of questions had beenasked, to the accompaniment of good-natured banter, tho meeting ended withthe singing of the Doxology.

BOYS' INSTITUTE

The monthly meeting of the Boys'Institute Management Committee washelu on Monday evening, when tho fol-lowing members were present: Mr. L.T. Watkins (in the chair), MesdamesL. T. Watkins and A. Macintyrc,Messrs. W. A. Parton, G. R. Baudinot,T. H. Gill, A. Johnston, J. A. Orr, J.Howitt, K. D. Moore, li. Calvert, W.Shipton, W. I. Gibson, D. J. Dalglish,J. Banks (treasurer),and tho director.

The director's report on the work ofthe past month was submitted, and itstated that the attendance, in spite ofthe cold weather, had been satisfactory.The gymnasium had been especiallywell attended. The boys were in train-ing. for the boxing championships,which were to be held early in Septetn-ue , and also for a gymnastic display,which it was hoped to hold shortly.

The librarian reported that theweekly attendance averaged 120, and'there was a monthly circulation of 359books.

The Meccano Club was reported tobo making good progress, and hadstarted a library of its .own, wherebooks dealing with Meccano wcro avail-able to the boys. Mrs. h. T. Watkinswas thanked for a gift, of a meccanoset to tiro club.

The director reported that at thopresent time thero were three vacanciesin the boarding establishment.

IMPORTED FRUIT

PROTECTION SOUGHT

AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION

A request for protection against import-ed fruit and vegetables during the NewZealand season was made to the PrimeMinister (theKight Hon. G. W. Forbes)by a deputation representing the Tomatoand Fruit Producers' Councillust evening.In reply, Mr. Forbes said that be wouldlook into the position, stating that, whilethe Governmentwas anxious to help thefruitgrower, it was also intent on safe-gunrding the public.

Mr. J. M'Combs,ALP., introduced,tlicdeputation, and other members of Parlia-ment present included Colonel T. W.M'Donald, Messrs. W. E. Parry, A. M.Samuel,W. Nash,W. W. Massey, and W.J. Jordan.

Mr. C. E. Pope said that the importa-tions of tomatoes, cherries, cucumbers,marrows, and like productsseverelyaffect-ed the New Zealand growers, who attimes were forcedto sell below the cost ofproduction. The cost of shipping the fruittrom Australia was less than the freightcharged by the NeNy Zealand railways overparts of the Dominion,and the Austra-lians were in an extremely favourable posi-tion. The Australian Government hadspent £26,000,000on fruit lands, andsome of this land had fallen back onthe Government's.hands. As a result,fruitland could now be purchased cheaply andproduction costs were low. Some NewZealanders1 had left New Zealand for Aus-tralia in order to grow cherries for the Do-minion market. It was estimated that theAustralian' production of fruit would in.-crease:threefoldin a few years, and NewZealand growers would be forced off themarket. The grapegrowers had been parti-cularly hard hit .

Mr. G. A. Green said that the Austra-lian fruits and vegetables came on theNe^y Zealand market for a short periodduring the glut and killed the market..Thefruit and vegetable growing industry em-ployed a greater number of.employees inrelation to tlje area of land involved thanperhaps any other agricultural pursuit,and it should be the aim of the Govern-ment to assist those who were intensivelycultivating what was comparatively poorland.

Mr. Pope said that they were not afterfabulousprices.

Mi\ Forbes: "What do you consider areasonable duty?"

Mr. Pope said that they asked for 4dper lb on cherries, and a like amount ongrapesand other importations. They ask-ed for the right to the New Zealand mar-ket during the New Zealand season, andthey did not desire to charge any morethan a reasonable price.

Mr. T. R. Foster, of Lower Hutt, saidthat £2104 worth of tomato pulp hadbeen imported into New Zealand duringOctober,November,and December last.He contended that there should be a pro-hibitive duty on tomato pulp, as therewas no need to import it into New. Zea-land.

In reply, the Prime Minister said thatthe question of a tariff on fresh fruitshad been beforethe House,and a certainamount of duty had been imposed.

Colonel M'Donald: "One penny perpound."

Mr. Fprbe3 said that the Governmenthad to keep in mind the price that wouldbe charged to the public. Many peoplewere unable to pay 2s 6d per lb for grapesand Is 8d per lb for cherries, and therewere certain periods of the year whenthese fruits could be imported cheaply; 'Mr. Pope said that they asked for a sea-sonal duty only.

Mr. Forbes said that he would look intothe matter and see what could be done.He recognised the difficulties of the smallgrowers.

TOMATO GROWERSCONFERENCE REMITS

The/ annual conferenco of theDominion Council of Tomato, SoftFruit, and Produce Growers, Ltd., con-cluded yesterday, afternoon.

Mr. C. E. Pope was re-elected presi-dent; ■.■-■.'.■■"■' .■■■■■

The question. of an advertising cam-paignwas discussed, and it was resolvedto use tho National Horticultural Showat Christchurch next January to adver-tise the tomato and soft fruit industry.

A remit urging that the report ofDr. Miller (Cawthron Institute) in re-gard to noxious diseases b« given effectto, was carried. .

The president said that tho cabbagebutterfly■' and the tomato moth hadcaused serious damage, and it was onlya_ matter of time before other seriousdiseases would come into the countryunless some restrictions were placedupon the importation of fruit and otherproduce from tho sources of infection.Representations could be made to theMinister of Agriculture by deputation.It was decided to write to the New

Zealand -Brokers' Association urgingthat steps should be taken to preventpersons from damaging fruit and pro-duce by walking over them duringsales. .

An Auckland remit, was carriedsuggesting that the Government shouldrestrict the importation of tomatoesduring October,November, and Decem-ber.

Standardisationwas discussed at somelength, and the following resolutionswere carried: f"That this conference,is of the

unanimous opinion that a scheme ofstandardisation is vital to the best in-terests of growers, and recommends theincoming committee to take advantageof any move in this direction.""That this conference urges upon theGovernment the desirability of givingeffect to the recommendations of therecent Parliamentary Fruit MarketingCommittee."

A CARD BATTLE

NEW YORK, 11th July.The old masters of the American

auction bridge world have gone to warand a million devotees to the contractvariety of the game are taking sidesfor the card battle of the century.The fight followed the announcementof twelve experts who combined toform a comporation called "BridgeHeadquarters," which will shortly pre-sent to the puzzled bridge world abrand new official and "perfect" sys-tem of contract bidding.

"But I shall tear down their houseof cards," announced Professor ElyCuthbertson, whose system of biddinghas been accepted by countless play-ers. On tho other side are massedWhitehead, Work, Lentz, and otherveterans of the game.

Tho keynote of the new system isthe so-called inter-mediate bid. Profes-sor Cuthbertson's forcing two-bid, de-manding game in contract, does notstrike his opponents as sound. Theyintend changing the two-bid into forc-ing three-bid, They will also namethe minimum strength of a one-bid;andthe. required strength for a game-bid.It is the hope of advocates of the

universal system that hereafter con-tract, players may meet anywhere toplay /'pleasantly, harmoniously, andsuccessfully." That' Utopian era ofbridge, however, seems to be extreme-ly visionary to tho great mass of medi-ocre players.

"BUYING-IN"

PRODUCERS' VIEWS

DIVIDED OPINION

The suggested legalising of "buying-in" in the produce markets was stronglyopposed bya Hutt Valloyremit broughtforward at the conference of the Do-minion Council of Tomato, Soft Fruit,and Produce Growers, Ltd., yesterdayafternoon. Opinion on tho subject wassomewhat divided, and it was decidedto refer the matter back to tho associa-tions for consideration.~ Mr. T. K. Foster (Hutt) said thatif the practice was legalised, as pro-posed by the New Zealand Fruit andProduce Auctioneers and Importers'Federation, tho growers would have nochance in the markets.. Mr. W. Copping (Hutt) said\ that'%uying-in." was wrong in principle andvery unfair to the growovs. There werefirms which could bo prosecuted manytimes for "buying-in." For a .firm tomake a 50 per centf. profit at tho ex-pense of tho grower by soiling outside"Was very unfair and should not betolerated.''■■ Sofar as Christchurch way concerned,said Mr. P. Falla, "buying-in" hadoften been the salvation of growerswhen prices were low, and the auction-eer had obtained better prices fromcountry buyors.

The president (Mr. C. E. Pope) saidthatgro'wors themselves were often toblame for. what happoned. However,quite unconsciously they had donethemselves a good turn by refusing toloave their early produce in markets■where imported produce was beingoffered. ■ <" Mr. Foster said that when there wasa rising market and tho bidding wentto within 6d or Is of tho price of thomoment the hammer fell. The auction-eer controlled the top market priedwhen it was a questim of "buying-in"for himself. If tho country buyors werorepresented as they were some yearsago, the prices would bo very muchbetter.

The president said that Canterburygrowers wero definitely opposed to thoremit.

It was pointed out that it was pro-posed to allow, growers to say whethertheir produce should bo subject to"bnying-in*,". ■

URBAN RATING

PRODUCERS TAKE ACTION

Urban rating and the necessity forlegislation to relieve producers whowore heavily burdened with tho rateson their urban land were discussed atthe conforeneo of the Dominion Coun-cil of Tomato, Soft Fruit, and ProduceGrowers, Ltd., yesterday. It was de-cided to approach the Minister of In-ternal Affairs on the subject, and tocommunicate with kindred organisationswith a view to concerted action.

Mr. J. M'Lean, secretary of tho NewZealand Poultry Association, outlinedthe steps taken up to the present time,and said that while Parliament had re-jected tho 1929 Urban Farm Land Rat-ingBill every member was in favour ofsome principle of redress. In somequarters there had been an agitationto reintroduco the Bill, but the con-sensus of ■ opinion was that there wasno chance of getting it through in itspresent form on account of its enmber-somo naturo and tho expensive machin-ery required. Mr. M'Lean referred tothe recommendations carried at tholast conference of the Municipal Asso-ciation, and said that even if it wasfound that any legislation passed wasnot giving tho relief expected, it couldbe amended. They had the opportun-ity of getting somewhere, and theyshould not neglect it.

Mr. G. A."Greensaid it was necessaryto bring pressure to bear upon the localbodies themselves. Because there ,wereobstacles in the way of a solution thematter should not be shelved. Smallfarmers, fruitgrowers, and nurserymenwore all behind the movement.

NELSON NEWSPANORAMA OF SNOW

RUGBY REPRESENTATIVES(From Our Own Correspondent.)

NELSON, 21st July.i After a cold night, during which 10degrees of frost were registered, thismorning broke fine and clear, reveal-ing an attractive' sight in the snow-coverod western mountain ranges acrossthe Tasman Bay. The snow, which fellyesterday, was so heavy that in spiteof to-day's warm sunshine it still re-mains oven on the lower hills. The ser-vice cars, however,got over the TakakaHill. The West Coastroads are clear,and the services ran to time-table.

Mr. H. Moore, of Tory street, cole-'brated his 89th birthday to-day. Hocame to Nelson in 1859, when seven-,teen. Formerly in tho building trade,he retired nbout 40 years ago.

The Bugby football senior reprcsen-;tativo selector, Mr. E. I.' M'Grcgor,;has nominated K. Buseh, D.- Max, and;F. M'Lean for selection in the South;Island team. Busch played in the jun-ior grade at the beginning of lastseason, but by the end of the yearwas in the Nelson senior representa-tives. He has proved a brilliant cen-tre-three-quarter this year. D. Maxis a big, .fast forward, who " has ledthe Nelson pack in. representativematches this year. He is over six feetin height, weighs over 15 stone, and isabout the fastest forward in the pro-vince. M'Lean is a young forward whotransferred from Wanganui last sea-:son, and immediately gained a placein the local representatives. He is veryfast, handles well, and is a past mas-ter at dribbling the ball at his toe.

The following twenty playors havebeen selected to train for selection ofthe Nelson representative Eugby teamto play for the Seddon Shield: Backs,W. Eeed, E. Busch, F. Snodgrass, E.Boyce, A. Newman,D. Glover, W. Alex-ander, A. Patrick (late of Wellington),IT. Fowler, and A. "Westley; forwards,C. Shuttleworth, J. Buttress, B. Howat,H. Bird, B. Snow,D. Max, F. M'Lean,B. Toad, S. Dumbletpn, W. Sutton, andB. Thompson.

The effect of the importation of to-mato pulp upon New Zealand growers"was mentioned at the conference,of theDominion Council of Tomato, SoftFruit, and Produce Growers, Ltd., to-day, and after a brief discussion it wasdecided to bring the matter before theMinister of Customs at a deputationthis afternoon.

WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT.

Strict Diets, Unnecessary.It is a well-known fact that sonic

foods liavo a greater tendency thanothers to cause indigestion, and that bylimiting ono'a diet to certain tasteless,unappetising foods, stomach

_troubles

can somotimes be overcome. Nine timesout of ten, however, indigestion is dueto excess acid and food fermentation.Instead, therefore,':of going on starva-tion diets, stomach sufferers can cutwhat they like if they will only got ridof the excess acid and stop the ier-mentation. To do this quickly, safely,and surely, take half a teaspoonful of"Bisurated" Magnesia or two or threetablets in a, little water right aftereatingor whenever painis felt. This in-stantly neutralises the acid, stops thefood fermentation, and heals the in-flamed stomach lining. .Get a packageof "Bisurated" Magnesia from yourchemist to-day; use as directed, andiyou can eat what you like without feardf-pa'in oe,discomfort,to follow.—Advt.

SCOUT NOTES(By 'Scouter.")

Thought for this week: Lei us-not con-cern ourselves about how others will doHtheir duties,but concern ourselves aboutLow we shall perform ours.

All. Scoutersshould now have in theirpossession a copy of the rules for theforthcomingannual competitions. The syl-labus is one that is within the reach ofall groups,and the metropolitan finalsthisyear should be really worth while.

The following have qualified for parttwo of the Wood Badge Course:ScoutersH. Donkin, J. M'lntosh, S. Gardner, T.Davies,C. Homer, C. R. Clarke,A. Reid,and D: Watson. These officersare to becongratulated upon their fine work.

The Brooklyn Group notify the follow-ing appointments: Scout G. Smith to beSecond of Lions; SecondL. Barber,Kiwis,to.be Patrol Leader, Wekas; Scout A.Barclay, to Second; Scout H. MacPher-son, to be Secondof Kiwis. ScoutsW.West,A Selby, E. Walton, and R. Pinheyhave passed their second class test, andthree others their tenderfoot test. Thegroup was surprised when it was an-nounced that the Lions (youngest patrolinthe group) bad won the inter-patrol com-petition cup, with Kiwis a close second.Good luck, Lions, but we will be afteryou next time.

Last week I told you that August wasbird month, and wo Scoutscould all assistour featheredfriends to live through thiscold weather. The very best way to makefriendswith the birds is to put up a bird-table when the cold weather comes in.Then you will be able to see all the hun-gry little featheredfolk closely, and manyof them will soon begin to know you and"welcome you. A bird table consists of apiece of wood about two feet long byeight-een inches wide, or a bit bigger, nailed onto a pole or stout stump out of the wayof: cats. You can easily make one yourBolf. Put the pole as near the window asyou can, so that you can see the tableeasily. Now what shall you put on thetable? We will suppose it is sturdily nail-ed on to a tree stump or pole in.the gar-den, and that you can easily see it fromthe window. Think of the birds we havewith us in the winter—finches,thrushes,blackbirds,starlings, sparrows, and a fewothers. What do they usually eat? Thethrushes,blackbirds,and starlings like in-

' sect food—something soft—but there isvery little for them in winter. It is ratherfun to put out the different foods oneafter another, so that you can see gradu-ally what kinds of birds come. Put someseed on thebird table. Sparrowswill come,bold and inquisitive, and once they havesampled what is on the plate, they willcome at intervals during the day just tosee if you have put any more there. Ifyou have room, put a shallow 'enamel panof water on the table. Many of the birdswill appreciate this when all the puddlesand ponds are frozen and they cannotget water. Another gobd idea is to nail oneor two branching sticks on to the table—the birds like to perch on these beforehopping on to the table. They look verycharming, too, on the twigs. Do have abird table, it's so easy, and such good fun—and the "birds will be so very delightedwith it. You can think of all sorts of newideas for food yourself. These aresome ofthe things you can do to make friends with, the birds. They will soon get to knowyou and treat you as a friend—in fact,will probably come and tap at the win-dow impatiently if by chance you shouldhave forgotten to spread the table thatmorning.

The Cubmasters' training course,, heldlast Thursday evening, was a huge suc-cess. Thirty-four officers attended, andreally enjoyed a happy and instructiveevening. {The ground covered was of aninteresting nature, and packs will cer-tainly benefit from the training received.The nest course will be at the same hallOn Thursday evening, 27th August, com-inencing at 7.15 o'clock.

Scoutersare reminded of the third train-ing course, which will be held at The Ter-race ChurchHall, to-morrow evening, com-mencing at 7.15.

Scout Commissioners and their part inthe scheme of Scouting.—With the adop-tion of the district training scheme forWolf Clubs,Scouts,and Rovers,as pub-lished in 1929,a good deal of misconcep-tion concerning commissioners hasremoved. The Dominion has tried morethan once to carry out the policy inP.O.R. as used in England. We have nocounties constituted as such for Scoutpur-poses. After many attempts also at localassociations and district commissioners wehave at lengthformulated a scheme whichprovides for a Metropolitan Commissionerfor each of the four centres. He has theright of nominating a number of gentle-men in various districts of his area asassistants,who are responsible to him forthe prosperity and smooth working ofScouting in their 'respective districts.

The groupsystem: A group is complete■when composed of a pack of Wolf Cubs,aScout troop, and aRovercrew. It often,however,has onlyoneof these units, but isstill styled a group, the other units beingadded as opportunity offers. The man-agement of the group-is in the hands of acommittee of parents and friends. Theyare responsible for the nomination ofScoutmaster,Cubmaster, and assistants,also all funds subscribed by or given tothe group. The boys' contributions arelinder the control of the patrol' leadersarid ' scouters. It is also one of theirduties■■" to take into account nil the pro-perty of the group,see that it is kept inorder, visit the group to see the trainingbeing done in accordance with "Scoutingfor Boys," and policy organisation andrules generally spoken of as P.O.R. Thereis also provision for nominating a suit-able person as groupscoutmaster and com-missioners may nominate district scout orcubmaster or rover leader to assist himin the training of Scoutersgenerally inthe district. Such training is now takingplace in Wellington. Last Thursday^thirtyrfour cubmasters and assistants werepresent at their monthlymeeting, and onThursday of this week the scoutmastersand assistants will hold their meeting.After this district training there is an-other scheme of move advanced trainingknown as the Wood Badge. This is work-ed out at Gilwell Park, Chingford, EppingForest, England, by a paid staff, consist-ing of Camp Chief Wilson, AssistantChief Don Potter, a secretary, and trea-surer, and over 300 men and women whohave graduated aud obtained the badge.These folk are known as deputy campchiefs and akelas,and are. nominated bythe governing body of Scouting in eachcountry, and if approved of by Imperialheadquarters are granted an honourablecharge, being a parchment certificate offitnesssigned by Lord Baden Powell him-self. This certificate gives the holderpower to hold training classes,part one(theoretical), part two (practical camp-ing for not less than eight days continu-ous), and part three, which is the can-didate's commissioner's certificatethat thescouter is carrying out in his troop or packthe scheme which he has been coached for,and passed in his training. The thirdpart takes not less than four months' workin troop or pack and may at the commis-sioner's wish be extended for a furtherperiod. With the advent of the commis-sioners' district training course in 1929the work arid duties of a commissionerhavebeen more clearly defined,and in re-sponse to repeated applications the Im-perial headquarters' training staff havenow organised a Scoutcub and rover com-missioners" bourse ' of training in orderthat they may be able to. visit their 'dis-trict and form an opinion of the work

SMJEITTO-immTlEND INSOMNIA.

Bestful Sleep Assured WithoutNarcotics.

Few know that two genuine BayerAspirin Tablets, before retiring, insurepeaceful, rostful sleep, but be certainyou take only the' genuine BayerAspirin.

■Bayer, in 1900,told the medical pro-fession of their new discovery, calledAspirin. Bayer asked physiciansthroughout the world to adopt'iti in in-somnia or sleeplessness; having demon-strated that it would quiet excited,andoverwrought nerves without harmfuleffect. Now millions find repose with-out the use of narcotics and habit-forming drugs.

Don't experiment! Be'sure yon'ob-tain only the genuine Bayer Aspirinsold by chemists in boxes containing 12tablets and bottles of 24 and 100 tab-lets—the Bayer Cross trade mark ap-pears on every tablet. Bayer Aspirincosts no more than the uncertain imita-tions ar^l loudly-advertised substitutes,"which physicians would not think ofprescribing.—Advt.

"being done under thehvjurisdiction. Apamphlet, the "Commissioners' Handbookon Training" has been published and sentout by I.H.Q. at the same date as thetraining was forwarded. In a forewordthe Chief says: "A commissioner has animportant and responsible task. On hisleadership depends the success or short-comings of the movement in his district.Oncehe has mastered these any commis-sioner will be able to go ahead with conjIScienceto do a great and valuable work.On page 12 we are told: "The commis-sioner that sets himself the task of train-ing himself for his job will find it no

Ieasy work, but he will have the satisfac-tion of knowing that now he. can attemptto lead his scouters and to train them."

On Saturday evening last the PetoneSeaScoutCommittee were the guests otthe Wellington Rovers,and members ofthe SeaRover Patrol of_ the St.-August-ines were also present, with District Com-missioner 11. Nelson and Rover LeaderE. Zambra. The Hon. MetropolitanCommissioner,Sir Alfred Robin, spoke onthe importance of Rovers, and their placein the group.

Commencing from Saturday next, Aitliinstant, the Ist Wellington Rovers willcarry on their work, with Senior Rover-mate D. Perry, acting Rover Leader andRovermate L. Morris, acting senior mate.This will enable the Metropolitan RoverLeader C. Meachem to visit the othernine crews in the district, hold meetingsof all rover.'leaders,and generally assistcrews forming, regular combined meetingsof all Rovers,etc.'

Dear Wolf Clubs,—Areyou looking for-ward to the day when you will leave yourpack and go up into the Scouts?Of courseyou are. But don't be in too much of ahurry. You know that in a few months,or it may be in a couple of years, youwill be a Scout,but, meanwhile,make upyour mind to be a well-trained Cub. Youwill have a jolly good time and make bet-ter Scoutswhen you are old enough, ifv«'hile you are Cubs you stick to it anddo not bother so much about Scout,work.Be a good Cub and you'll be a betterScout.

" Notes should be forwardedto "Scouter,care 'Scout Headquarters,' 95, Courtenayplace, not later than the first mail onMonday morning.

BARRED KAISERDUTCH SOLDIER'S TALE

How Piot Pinkors, a young Dutchsoldier, refused to let Kaiser Wilhelmenter Holland theday before the Armis-tice, 1918,because the Emperor had nopassport, is told in Brussels by Piethimself, says the "San FranciscoChronicle.''

Because of young Sergeant PietPinkers the Kaiser had to wait twenty-fivo hours before he was let into Hol-land as an exile. German history hasit thft the Kaiser never waited morethan twenty-five minutes for anythingor any one before that day at theDutchfrontier. .

On 9th November, 191S,William 11.realised his army was defeated, hissoldiers wore deserting him, .and theAllies had won the war. Four hourslater the German Emperor fled to Hol-land. It was a dark night, with heavyfog over the Ardennes hills, making airattacks rather improbable.

No diplomatic' negotiations had beenengaged with Holland in view of theKaiser's arrival. Tho telegraph wasno longer safe for the German warlord. His idea was to. advise theDutch Government as soon as he wouldbe safe within Dutch boundaries.

About 4 o'clock in the morning on10th November nine automobiles start-ed from Spa on the road to the Dutchfrontier. The Imperial emblems on thecars had been carefully covered withmud. At 6 o'clock in the morning theGerman Kaiser arrived at the Dutchborder. There Piet Pinkers unexpect-edly spoiled the Emperor.'s plans byrefusing to let him in.

HIS OKFICEE.The Germans demanded that Piet

summon hia commanding officer. Allthe Dutch officers were at Maestritcht,ten miles away. Piet finally. telephon-ed to Major Van Dijl, who arrived atthe border about 7 o'clock thai morn-ing. The Major decided to take theKaiser's party to the station at Eysden.All that day the Major telephoned andtelegraphed the military authorities atThe Hague. The Dutch Governmenthesitated about giving instructions, andit was not until 9.42 on the morning of11th November that the Kaiser and hisparty were permitted to proceed intoHolland.

Piet also tells of an interview hethad with-the Kaiser during the wait atthe border.

"How would you like the war to beover?" the Kaiser asked Mm.

"That would bo fine, excellency,"Piet replied. "Then we could go home.Tho war has lasted long enough." .' "Yes, it has lasted rather too long,"replied the Emperor. "The Allies didnot want it to end earlier. However, itis all over now. To-morrow the Armis-tice will bo signed."
