BOOKPLATE ARTEX LIBRIS SOCIETY:

The annual meeting of the New ZealandEx-Libris Society was held in the Turn-bull Library on Monday. Dr. G. H.Seholefield presided.

The annual report stated that interestin book-plates was growing steadily inNew Zealand. The membership nowtotals nearly seventy. A flourishingbranchlias been formed in Auckland, with Dr.Gunson as president and Miss Hilda Wise-man as secretary. It.is hoped shortly toform .branches in Christchureh and Dun-edin. The society now has a collection ofover 350 plates. During the year the firstbrochure was published and evoked flat-tering comment from Australian and Ame-rican collectors and the Press in Aus-tralia and New Zealand. Hand in handwith the internal growth of the societyhas been a natural increase in the ;num-bor of book-plates designed in this coun-try, some exceptional plates being produc-ed. Despite heavy preliminary expensesthe finances of the society show a smallcredit balance.. In his retiring address, the president, Dr.Seholefield, said that members could con-gratulate themselves on having passedthrough a very successful year. There wasno doubt that the society had stimulatedinterest in the book-plate art.

Correspondence read showed a remark-able interest in the progress of the NewZealand organisation by book-plate socie-ties in all parts of the world.

It was decided to hold the first exhibi-tion of book-plates in about three monthstime.

New members elected included Sir CyrilWard and Messrs. R. A. Loughnan, R. ¥.Cavvosso, E. V. Gunn, and T. T. Bond(London).

A report was received from the Auck-land branch recording exceptional interestin the northern activities of the society.

The election of officers resulted as fol-lows:—President, Mr. Johannes C. Ander-sen; vice-presidents, Sir Joseph Kinsey(Christchurch), Hon. I\. A. Anderson (In-vercargill), Miss Hilda Wiseman, Dr.Gunson, and Mr. John Barr (Auckland),Dr. Scholefield and Mr. J. M. A. Ilott(Wellington); committee, Mrs. VioletWakelin, Messrs. Llewellyn Williams, A.-E. Currie, 11. C. South, E. M. Sladden,K. Alexander, and C. I. Lumb; hon. secre-tary, Mr. P. A. Lawlor; hon. treasurer,Mr. Eric Reeves; hon. librarian,, Mr.Stuart Peterson.

The meeting concluded with a heartyvote of thanks to the retiring president forthe keen interest he had shown in thesociety's welfare during his term of office.

WHEAT, BREAD, AND LAND

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Yet once more have the in-iquitous wheat and flour duties beenbrought up for discussion. The recentdebate in Parliament was instructing,yet inconclusive and disappointing. Itseems there are yet many people whobelieve that omelettes may bo hadwithout breaking -eggs. We may setaside as exaggerations such statementsas "depriving the farmer of his liveli-hood," "throwing hundreds out ofwork," etc. The remark, also, of themember for Lyttelton that the Do-minion would bo a loser to the extentof £2,000,00.0 per annum, is a sheerabsurdity. So far from this being theease/the Dominion's present annual lossarising from the retention of the wheatandflour duties is, taking our consump-tion of wheat at.5,000,000 bushels perannumand allowing a difference of only3s a bushel between local and importprices, not less than £1,200,000. If,as was asserted, £900,000 is annuallypaid as wages in the production ofwheat and flour (which is greatly exag-gerated), it would still pay the Do-minion handsomely to repeal the wheatand flour duties, and continue to paythese wages for doing nothing. Themoney saved to our people by purchas-ing cheaper bread would be spent onother commodities and the resultant in-creased employment of labour wouldmore than offset that displaced fromwheat cultivation. The purchase ofwheat from Australia must, in spite oftariffs, result in reciprocal trade; forgoods must be paid for with goods,Therefore increased employment couldbe looked for in those occupationsthrough which our wheat bill must beredeemed. . Further, the wheat landscould easily be converted 'back 'topasture, and, at a lower value per acre(in which,.of course, lies the sting) bemade to produce butter, cheese, lamb,and mutton at a real profit to the- com-munity.

The statement made by the memberfor Oamaru that over £30,000,000 isinvested in the wheat industry is pre-posterous. The Year Book gives thevalue of land, buildings, and machinerydevoted to the production.of flour, oat-taeal, etc., as about £800,000. The£30,000,000, then, must bo assumed tobe the value of the (approximately)825,000 acres of land used in wheatproduction, with the further assumptionthat, without wheat cultivation, thisland is valueless. It requires no skilleither in figures or farming to exposethe worthlessness of this reasoning.While the best sheep land runs to about£10 per acre, and good dairy land maybe bought for £30 per acre, the price-\>f wheat land worksout at about £120|)er acre. ,, It is monstrous that a wholecommunity should be taxed to maintainsuch utterly fictitious values.

Beading the debate, one is struck bythe fact that the supporters "of theWheat and flour duties are, overwhelm-ingly, Southern members. WhetherUnited, Reform, or Labour members,they found themselves on a commonplatform. This fact, that a vested in-terest has power to cut athwart allparty ties, and thus to foil the legiti-mate wishes of the great majority ofthe people, should excite the deepestresentment. This is especially sowhen considering the rail-sitting atti-tude of the Labour Party. Time waswhen the Labour Party founded itscase on ethics; but ambition, guided bysophistry and the art of casuistry, hasbrought it to such a pass that its ethicsare decidedly of more questionableValue to-day than; those of either.ofthe two other parties it would sup-plant.

A further illustration of the evolu-tion of Labour ethics was given by thediscussion on cheap fertilisers" for im-poverished farmers, the Labour mem-bers easily outbidding the United andReform members in their anxiety totax the general community for thebenefit of the landed interests, utterlydisregarding the long years of franticland speculation which finally broughtso many of them to disaster. What acontrast there is between the BritishLabour Party with its resolute adher-ence to free trade, together with thejust announced intention of the Chan-cellor to institute a system of landvalues taxation, as compared with theNew Zealand Labour Party's clamour-ings for more and higher protectiveduties, and their apparent devotion tothe cause of land monopoly.—l am, etc.,

CHANGE OF GEARSTAKES MUST BE PAID(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) 'CHRISTCHTJRCH, This-Day. .At' a meeting of the New ZealandTrotting Board, correspondence was re-

ceived from the Marlborough Racing Club;concerning a change of gear on Lifebuoy."p

CHORAL UNION

LONG SERVICE BADGES

Lift! members' badges of the Welling-ton Choral Union were presented tothree oL! its members by. the Mayor ofWellington, Mr. G. A.

Mr. Chartres pre-sided.

Mr. Troitp, ivlio lias been an honorary,luwnbcr ,of the society since its incep-tion in 1905, said ho was very pleased jto bo there that night to enter into. ;t

musical atmosphere for tho hist nightof his Mayoralty. Ho was very pleas-ed to present the budges not only onaccount of the society' but also becauseIhc three gentlemen were his personalfriends. Ho had known thorn for manyyears. "It is much better to showsomq appreciation in their lifetime,"said Mr. Troup, "and Iam glad.to-niglitthat you are showing this appreciation1for tho three recipients. They ha\johelped to mould the society and form itand -bring- it into the .strong . positionit now holds—the--, strongest in,. WeirHngton and probably the strongest . itNew' Zealand. .Other, societies . struggleon in. financial difficulties, .but every,year we close with a little financialcredit and something to carry on tothe next year. This is a credit to thesociety, and it is largely due to thecredit of the three gentlemen we honourto-night." ; Theirs- was a great service,he added,- in raising the culture ofpeople,.ior music was one of the higherthings of life.

Each of the recipients suitably re-plied and was' accorded musical hon-ours. Mr. Caldow remarked that since1905 the Choral Union had -handled£25,000, which was a big sum. It wasa, pity, he said, that "Wellington_ hadnot some public-spirited citizens similarto those in other centres who made pre-sentations of scores. :'■.'.. . .

LIVING IN DRAINS

■ The Soviet authorities have decidedto clear the Pctrograd drains and cata-i;combs of the persons who havo lived mthem, for years—thousands of waifs andstrays, youths and girls, and a terriblecommunity of criminals ana worse. Thechildren live in those- holes liko rats(says the "Daily Mail'■')" Officials whofollowed them describe the life in thedrains in language that cannot be pub-lished in an English newspaper. Mostof the children run about half-nakedand lead lives lower and more degrad-ing than the most primitive savagetribe. The catacombs arc full of emptyvodka bottles stolen from the Statevodka shops. Empty drug containershave also been found. The "populationof the drains", has its own "mayor,"arid its life begins at midnight. Thepopulation of the drains under one-street alone was found to be 300.

VALEDICTORYMR. J. BROWN RETIRES

LOYAL RAILWAYS OFFICER

Tho ■Wellington District Traffic Man-ager of the Railways, Mr. J. Brown,who has retired on superannuation, wasfarowollcd on Monday by a largo gath-ering of the staff.

Mr. G. Wilson, Assistant Traffic Man-ager, who presided, characterised Mr.Brown as ono of the ablest transportmen who had served tho railways. TheGovernment had recognised his servicesby appointing him to the - ShuntingCommission, and by putting- him on theBegradiug Committee. He was appoint-ed Superintendent oi1 Staff, and in thatcapacity served the Department wellon the Appeal Board. He also servedwell and ably as District Traffic Man-ager. The mass of information andmaterial that Mr. Brown compiled wasastonishing. He had never been a"five o'docker," and,he possessed the|ability to control.

Mr. M; Dcunehy, the Assistant Gen-eral Manager, said he knew of no manwho is held in higher esteem. For un-failing courtesy and attention Mr.'Brown had set a very high example jHe never expressed an opinion unlesshe was able to back it up, and his know-lodge of the working conditions andIthe filling of positions left nothing tobe desired.

\Mr. P. G. Eousscll (General Superin-tendentof Transportation) highlyprais-1ed Mr.Brown's capabilities, and Mr. H.,Valentine (Chief Accountant) endorsedwhat had been said.

Mr. J. C. Schneider, who will takeover Mr. Brown's duties, said that theirguest had a wonderful experience andknowledge of transport. He had dis-played great energyin carrying out thework, and he had also dealt with thostaff in an honest manner, which all hadappreciated.

Mr.' W. Schicrniug, Acting GoodsAgent, said that Mr. Brown was al-ways easy to approach. He waa_ everwilling to give guidance and advice jtothose junior to himself and to discussany problem.which cropped up. He wasominently fitted for the position ofDistrict Traffic Manager, and it was un-fortunate that he should be leaving theDepartment at a time when perhaps hisservices would,bo of so much yvalue.

Messrs'. Cameron, former Traffic Man-ager, G. H.. Mackley, Chief Clerk, andKobertson, of the locomotive'branch,also spote appreciatively, of Mr. Brown.

The General Manager (Mr. H. H.Sterling) agreed that Mr. Brown's re-tirement would be a loss to the Depart-ment. What had particularly struck himabout Mr. Brown was his fairness. ' Ihave felt," said Mr. Sterling, "that hewas a man of veryhigh, ideals who tooka serious view of his citizenship andMs contact with, his-fellow men. I ,donot think he-would contemplate for amoment doing anything of tho slight-est degree whatever that would sub-tract from the sum total of human hap-piness, and his actions in his daily con-tact with his fellow-citizens ' havebrought a degree of respect and esteemto Mr. Brown that any of us might wollenvy. One other aspect of his charac-ter, both aa a citizen and as.an offi-cer of tho Department, is his very greatloyalty. I do notN desire that to betaken in a personal sense, as particu-larly referring to his present superiorofficers, but Mr. Brown's loyalty anddovotionsto his industy, his dosiro Joput therailway service on a still higherplane as regards the quality o,f ser-vice, proved Mr. Brown to be a man ofhigh ideals) adequately dischargingevery responsibility resting upon hinu

Mr. Sterling presented Mr. Bro^fnwith a bag of clubs and a pipo, andwishod him a long and pleasurable re-tirement. ./ ' . ,

Mr. Brown said, he had ,appreciatedthe team work during ,his ,yeaJS' inWellington. Hissuccessor,woula finanisstaff loyal. He said tie deeply appreciat-ed their,kind words and gift.- "_;

PORT HOBART MISHAPDECISION ON FRIDAY,

The taking of evidence and tho hear-ing of counsel's submissions at theMagisterial inquiry into.the Port Ho-bart mishap were continued yesterdayafternoon, and at the,conclusion Mr. E.Page, S.M., announced that, the deci-sion of the" Court would bo given at9.30 a.m. on Friday. *"" '' ;'

Called by Mr. E.K. Kirkcaldie, coun-sel for the.master of the vessel (Cap-tain Cottell), John O. Tait, a fisher-man, of Island Bay, said that after astrong north-westerly .wind he hadfound that the, easterly going--' tideflowed stronger and,' longer in PalliserBay. For nine hours out of every.twelvethere was a set into Palliser Bay.

William Arthur Wildman, junr., themaster' of the Arahura, said that on thenight of 2nd April, when on atrip.fromWellington to Nelson, his log registered37.3 miles from Karori Rock to TheBrothers, whereas the actual distancowas 17| miles. To witness, this indi-cated a very strong head tide.

Mr. Kirkcalclio said that he was pre-pared to go on calling evidence fromlocal captains, but he was satisfied that"ho had shown that there was an abnor-mally strong tide which, had affectedconditions in the Strait. Tho evidence,he submitted, showed that the 'captainhad set a safe and normal course, andth.it an abnormal set had taken himoff his course. It( could not bo saidthat there was any wrongful act or de-fault on the part of the master whichcaused the ship to strike some sub-merged object, and the most importantquestion the Court had to.consider waswhat had caused the ship to drift twomiles out of her course.

'The assessors for the Court wereCaptain L. C. 11. Worrall and Mr. F.W. Barron. Mr. E. Parry appeared forthe chief officer of the ,Port Hobart,Mr. G. G. G. Watson for the ownersof tho vessel, and Mr. J. Prcndevillefor the Marino Department.

CAREFULLY PLANNED

PRISONERS' ESCAPE 'MOTOR-CAR HELP* FAILS

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

' AUCKLAND, Otli May. !Tho escape of Kenneth John Evans

and Thomas Douglas Foisyth from theSupremo Court after being sentencedby Mr.- Justice Smith to-day appearsto have been carefully planned.

While,awaiting'sentence the two ac-cused sat on a bench near the windowsin .the upstairs Court, and were talkingin an undertone, probablyplanning theirescape. They had ample time to studythe lay-out of tho grounds. ' >After they had been sentenced theywere marched—handcuffed together,with a warder from' the gaol in frontof them and a warder behind—down-stairs into a corridor which leads tothe cells. 'At the foot of the, stairs'there is a side door which leads intothe Court grounds. The door was open.The warder in front ' turned sharplyto the right to lead the way to thecells, when, like a flash, the two pris-oners shot through the open door. Downthe steep green bank'which faces Anzacavenue they raced, and like hurdlers inperfect unison they leaj)ed over theiron railing and dropped nearly sixfeet to the pavement below. Withperfect timing they dashed down Con-stitution hill and along Beach road. ,

Warders, policemen, and detectivescombined in the chase. When the mengot to the foot of the hill they turnedalong Beach road in the direction oftho railway station, but they had notgone far before they caught sight ofConstable Marley on his boat. Theyturned back and raced along the foo^tof Parnell rise, but they had not gonefar before they were overtaken by Con-stable Marley, who had commandeereda passing motor-car. That was the endof their liberty.

When the men were being led backto the Supreme Court' they passed amotor-car parked on the roadside, andone said', to the driver: "Where .the|

did you get to with the car?"It was suggested that the escape had

been carefully planned, and that themen were to be helped to make theirescape by the driver of the car.

HARMLESS GARGLE ENDS SORETHEOAT OR TONSILITIS.

Throat Specialist discovers New Usefor Standard Household Remedy.

Many people are learning that thebest and most effective garglo in sorethroat or tousilitis is to 'dissolve twotablets of genuino Bayer Aspirin infour tablcspoonfuls of water. Theygarglo throat thoroughly and repeat intwo hours, if necessary. This use forthe famous Bayor Aspirin was discover-ed by throat specialists and prescribedby them in their own practices.

Tho next time you feel tho approachof a soro throat or tonsilitis, try thissimple gargle. Only bo sure to insiston genuino Bayer Aspirin. Then youlire safe, because they do not affect theheart,' derange the stomach, or form ahabit; besides, relief is certain andwithout any bad after-effects.

All chemists sell genuino Bayer As-pirin, in handy boxes of 12 tablets, alsobottles of 24 and 100 tablets—tho BayerCross trade-mark appears on ovcry tab-let. Bayer Aspirin costs no more thanthe uncertain imitations and loudly ad-vertised substitutes which physicianswould not think of prescribing.—Advt. |

THEIR FIRST RACENOTICES AT BLENHEIM

.Among thY acceptors for the NoviceStakes at the 'Marlborough Meeting onIPndajr there are four names that are un-iamiliar to racegoers, as the horses thatclaim them have not previously started ina-race.. The four are Ridiculous, Specialty,Boundary Hit, and Miladi.,'.' ■Ridiculous is a four-yoar-old brown fillyby the Stonylnirst-bred Royal Stag (sonof Autumnus) from-Leicester Square, a1mare by.Joculator (son of Absurd) bredin 1921 by Mr. J. Goring Johnston. Ridi-culous will carry the colours of her ownbreeder, Mrs. N. B. Teschemaker, ofBlen-heim..Specialty!is:a five-year-old,bay mare' bythe Stonyhurst-bred Masterpiece (son ofClanranald, and full-brother to Glenowlet,.Xirriemuir, Gleheulloch, and Madam Mad-cap),from a mare by The Mohican (a sonof the Maxim horse'Mauser). She is own-ed by the Waiau sportsman, Mr, H. W.I).Rogers.- ■ . : -.-.■-,:.; ' ■Boundary Bit is a direct product of theStonyhiirst stud, being a two-year-oldchestnut filly by Winning Hit - (son ofAutumnus) from the Antagonist mareBelter Skelter (the dam of. speedy Childs-play, and also of Wild Work and SuddenStorm). : She is a. thr'eequarter-sister toChildsplay,, Wild Work, and SuddenStorm, as all of these mareß were byAutumnus. She wao sold recently by SirCharles-Clifford, and is nowownedby Mr.H. D. lieaman, of Spotswood, North Can-terbury. "'"■■".■

Miladi is another of' Mr. J. J. Corry'slengthy string, and" on breeding should beas speedy as anything that he has produc-ed this season: She is a two-year-old bayfilly by imported" Weatheryane (Bon ofLomberg )£rom that fast but unfortunate-ly unsound Paper Money mare FrenziedFinance (a Minister to First Money).Allthe members of this family have showntorrents.ol speed,. but have totally lackedability.to see out more than the shortestdistances, and it will be interesting to ob-1serve m Miladi whether the mating withWeathervane has nicked the strong stay-ing- blood of his sire, the Derby winnerLemberg..-.

OPTIONAL BETTING

PLACE TOTALISATOR

INSTALLED AT RANDWICK

A new typo of machine which findsgroat favour ivith the invostor wlio usesthe totiilisator for a straight-out wigcr,has recently been installed at the Band-Awek racecourse, Sydney. This machineenables a racegoer to invest his moncvin two different ways, either as a:,tr.iight-out wagev or a place wager.U" also has the option of- investing'both ways. "

Mr. O. S. Watkius, president of theJSTew Zealdnd ltacinjj Conference, whoreturned to Wellington yesterdayby the iMauugamii iiom Sydney,told a "Post" representative thatthe totalisator, although it wasused for. the- first time at theEaster Meeting at Kandwick, wasalready looked upon in a vory favour-able light by the racing people in Aus-tralia.

Mr. Watkius said that on a placewager the totalisator paid out on thefirst, second, and third horses in equalproportion, and ort'-a straight-out wagerit paid out on the winner only. As anindication of public ■ opinion of thetotalisator, he said that for the fourdays' Easter racing at Kandwiek thetotalisator paid out £3677 moio thanthe bookmakers. Altogether, there werethree machines installed at Bandwick,one for the use of members,: one in theleger paddock, and the main machine.They were all operated from the mainmachine. Prior to the installation ofthe machines investois had tho oppor-tunily_ of place betting only. "It is ayery ingenious arrangement, and Ithink that it will probably be adopteduniversally iv time," said Mr. Watkius."So far Eandwiek is the first place tohave the machines installed, but simi-lar machines are being installed atFlemington, Mooneo Valley, Caulfield,and probably at .other courses.*' ', Mr. Watkins said' that while he wagin Australia he was asked'by a number.of mon how he could account for thesuperiority of , New Zealand horses."fTh.ey seem to hold n very high opinionof our horses over there/ he said. 'Mr. Watkins, who was absent in Aus-tralia for about four weeks, said thathis object in going over there was tomeet in person tho chairman of theAustralian Jockey Club, Mr. ColinStephen, and the chairman of the Vic-toria Eacing Club, Mr. L. K. S. M'Kin-non.

The "Wellington Hospital Board yes-terday, in accordance with the.requestof the Health Department, reduced theboard's estimates from £144,023 to£129,789. ■The new apportionment of levies on !local contributing bodies, which repre-,sonts a reduction of 20 per cent., is :as follows:— I

The chairman (Mr. il. Castle) said ,the amount set down for social wel-fare had been reduced by £6000. Ifunemployment continued as at present,it would be difficult to get through the .year on. the amount set out in thees-|timates. If any emergency arose, itwould liave to be met by emergencymeasures:—Mr. J. H. Helliwell said they oughtto do everything they could to avoidthe suggested reduction in'the esti-mates. They should insist on themaintenance of efficiency in regard tothe care* of the patients, the quality'of the food, and its service, and thehigh standard of the medical and nurs-ing staff. In the interests of the ef-ficiency of the hospital this was neces-sary. What he was afraid of was thatif they acquiesced in the suggested re-duction of something over £8000,apartfrom the Social" "Welfare Department,they would be taking a wrong course;If theji agreed to the proposed reduc-tion mlexpenditure, it wouldmean thatthey woulds probably be agreeing tomore suffering on the part of the sick.He did not think the board ought toagree to cut down their hospital ex-penditure—no, not by a penny. Ifthey were to acquiesce in the requestof the Department, it would be farbetter to cut out the whole- of the dif-ference in the Social "Welfare Depart-ment vote-r-about £14,000. He knewthat the Government was desperatelyafraid that unless they cam© substan-tially to the help of the destitute peoplein the community there would betrouble. They were trying to do that,as far as they possibly could, by as- ;sociating relief works with, the So-cial "Welfare Committee and similarorganisations throughout the Dominion.The,postion in regard to social welfareexpenditure was now generally under-stood. To\a deputation to the Gov-ernment last week, the Minister ofHealth said he was afraid that the pro-Vision being made for the relief of the

' destitute would not be sufficient, andthe Government would have*to assist.the1 fund. Mr. Helliwell said hotEought the board ought to throw theresponsibility of the unemployed onthe Government. It was a nationalquestion.

STRONG PROTESTS.Mrs. P-. Eraser said if the board

agreed to the suggested reduction ofhospital maintenance expenditure, theywould be accused of extravagance inpast years. Mrs. Fraser thought theboard should adhere to their. formerestimates. - . 'Mr. I". Bennett: ''What sum. canwe expend '.without the sanction of theHealth Department1?" ",.■ '..':■'■'' \

The Chairman: " £250 for capitalexpenditure. This is for mainten-ance.-" ■.'■■'". " . ■ ' ■ 1.,

Mr.-Bennett: "Has'there ever beenan audit tag to our expenditure?"

iThe Chairman: "I do'not rememberany." ,-*■■■. "■ ■.. ■■"" -:■■■;■■_" ■' '"■

Preston said that recently therehad been forced upon the board theresponsibility^ of increased expenditurefor unemployment and also in connec-tion with" maternity cases. In addi-tion, a reduction had been, made in thegeneral hospital vote. While sheagreed" that they should, if possible,carry on within their estimates, yetshe could not see how it was possibleto do their work within the vote sug- 'ges,ted." It was not suggested by theGovernment that the unemployment re-sponsibility should be taken from, theboard. If tho boards had to econo-mise in a way that would be againstthe interests of the hospital patients,at would be a scandal.- Mrs. Prestonmoved that the further considerationof the be deferred until theaew board was appointed.

Mr. Helliwell: "Can we do that?"The chairman said he'agreed with

■what had been caid as to doing noth-ing that would"impair the efficiency ofthe hospital in tho interests of thepatients. The Government, however,.had passed legislation providing for a10 per. cent, reduction in expenditure.That meant practically a reduction ofthe levy and the subsidy. - He wasanxious to get the estimates approved, ■because the boardwas now carrying on,-with, an overdraft of £15,000. ' Untilthe board passed the estimates the localBodies .would; not pay their levy. It: was necessary that the estimates should

.be-passed without, delay. A reductionjof"the-estimates had been forced.uponthe? board. A protest had alreadybeen made by the board.. He thoughtthat a further protest should be madeto the Government/ and to the localcontributing "bodies. He suggested thatMr. liuke and himself should draw upa strong protest to the Government,also .an explanatory protest to thecontributing bodies. The social,wel-fare vote had been reduced to an"jarnbunt that would probably be insuffi-cient to meet the expenditure, and the

'anticipated receipts had been increased"by. £3700. If that sum was not rea-lised, the board wouldbe so much to tho

" bad. : He again urged that the amend-ed estimates be passed, and that -A*aew bpard take whatever steps it deem-1-"d. desirable.. 'Mr.CM. Luke seconded the motion.Mr. T. H. Gill, said it had been sug-gested that they should live withinthe reduced revenue, but also that inthe interests of the patients and well-being of the community that the hos-pital should be maintained at an ef-ficient standard.

' Mrs. P.* Fraser was of opinion thattho board should wait on the Prime- Minister and Minister of Health andplace the position before them. Itshould be represented to the Govern-ment that the unemployed question wasa national one. The public should beinformed as to tho actual position.

The chairman understood that thesubject was being taken up by tho"Hospital Boards' Association. Itwas well, however, that tho boardshould draw up its own protest.

The amended estimates and levieswere then adopted.

LIVELY RUGBY DEBATE

SECESSION FROM SEDDONSHIELD

(From Our Own Correspondent.)NELSON, sth May.

Meetings o£ householders for the elec-tion of school committees were heldthroughout the Nelson* EducationBoard's district last evening. The meet-ings at the three Nelson City schoolswere poorly attended. The committeeswere elected as follows:—Nel-son Central: Messrs. B. A.Wood, Walker, Cheel, Marks, Easdale,Leaper, H. Baltrop, H. Wood, and P.Mitchell. Auckland Point: Mrs. J.Blomfield, Messrs. W. Beveridge, I*Bull, H. Sharp, T. A. Searell, W. J.Marshall, R. Watson, A. M'Conchie-■jnd E. Adridge. Hampden street:Mesdauies M. Heather and K. Inwood,Messrs. F. Adamson, S. CanninetonlP. E. Jones* F. V. Knapp, W. Mitch-ener, A. Robinson, and L. Page.Tlie Nelson Defence Rifle Clubs fireda very interesting competition on thoWakapauka range. The conditions wereseven shots and two sightersat each of200, 300, and 500 yards. No slingsor aperture sights were allpwed—therifles being as issued for service shoot-ing. Rifleman G. Burroughs generous-ly donated a valuable cup to be com-peted for under the above conditions,and the winner proved to be PresidentF. \H. Sharland, who shot brilliantly,securing 99 out of a possible 105points.The bulls-eye at 200 and 300 yards isonly nine inches in diameter, and at500 it is 18 inches. It will thus be seemthat.President Sharland's score must besomething in the nature of a Dominionrecord. C. Batchelor also shot well.

<cry little shooting of the servicetype is now done in rifle clubs, andlast Saturday's competition --was'quitenovel to some of the members, whoexpressed themselves as delighted withthis "new" form, of shooting. Indeed, "it is the intention (of the committee toarrange another competition of a simi-lar nature before the season ends. Lieu-tenant-Colonel Thorns, late of the NewZealand Staff Corps, has kindly donateda valuable 60-pounder shell case forannual competition under service coii-ditions, and no doubt.the committee willallocate this for the next service com-petition. . . ■ '_■

The following Nelson district rifleteam will' defend the Milroy Shieldagainst Marlborough on 16th May, in.Blenheim: J. O. Anderson, G. A. Cross-man, F. G. Painter and A. Ray (Motu-eka); R. Hammond and A. . Maisey(Waimea); A. Hughes and R. Thoinaa(Owen River); S.Bainett, C.Batchelor,T. Carter, H. Frank, F. Gledhill, K.Inwood,W. A. Kenning, N. Manssen,W.Martyn, ,W. A. Mitehener, E. Russell,F.-Sharland, and J. Vitetta (Nelson).

The Marlborough teams will be:—"A*team: Masefield, West, M'lntosh, Bar-ker, Anderson, W. Wilton, Henderson,Hadfield, C. M'Calluni, and Tombs.Their "B" team is: Pask, K. and C.Lovell, Gardiner, Nicoll, A. Hadfleld,Eden, Coleman, Soper, arid Patchett.Emergencies: Rentone, K. Anderson,M'Dowell, Challies, and Hart.'

At last evening's meetingof the Nel-son Rugby Union Mr. H. "V. Searls(vice-president) provoked a lively dis-cussion when he moved that Nelson donot challenge for the Seddon Shieldthis year. Mr. Searle has for: a numberof years been opposed to too many re-presentative matches on account oftheir interference with club football.He attributed the deadness of the gameiii Nelson last year to'the reaction fromthe years when the shield was heldlocally,'and too many Saturdays taken,up with representative football. Themotion -njas seconded by Mt.W. R.Owen (Waimea Club), and, there wasat least one other supporter of the mo-tion. However, most of the membersexpressed themselves as being opposedto dropping out of the competition, twomembers, describing Mr. Searle's sug-gestion as "ridiculous" and "absurd."

"Nelson has been in the competition,for 25 years," said the president, Mr.E.R. Blewett, "and I think Mr. Searle'smotion is drastic." He stated that upto 1920 Nelson had not challenged asmuch" as the other ''unions, which hadlet Nelson know that they thought thelocal union -was not playing tKe gameby standing out. Since then Nelspahad played regularly and the union hadno doubt benefited from the competi-tion, as the town had done. "To secedefrom the Seddon Shield competitionis almost as bad as seceding from, theEnglish Rugby Union," concluded Mr.Blewett.

Finally Mr. Searle withdrew his mo-tion, and gave notice to move it atthe next meeting of the committee.This would allow delegates an, oppor-tunity to consult their clubs on thematter.

Mr. James Butler, of Tasman streetSouth, to-day celebrated his 88th birth-day. Except for blindness Mr. Butle*enjoys good health, and in spite of hitaffiliction is able to take daily exeracise. He was born in Nelson, and"*believed to be the oldest native-bor*male now living. ",

Midshipman R. E. Washbourn, whos*parents reside in Nelson, has been pro-motedto sub-lieutenant, and passed th*examination for lieutenant with first-class honours, gaining 925 marks outof. a possible 1000—the highest totalin"-this examination for the Mediter-ranean Fleet this year. The next yearwill be spent taking special courses in,gunnery, etc., at the Naval College,Greenwich. -PETONE TECHNICAL HIGH

SCHOOL. Beuorting on the activities of thePetone Technical High School, the prin-cipal/Mr. A. M'Fadyen, states thatthe term examinations recently heldwere quite satisfactory. In regard tothe'sports side of the school life,-thoschool had entered two teams in thosecondary schools' Rugby competition,oncin the secondary schools' Associa-tion football competition.- and two;teanis in the secondary schools' basket-,ball competition. The,school acknow-ledged its indebtedness to the CentralSchool for the use of its basketballcourt and the Wellington Football Asso-ciation for the gift of a ball. The at-tendance at the evening classes wasquite satisfactory. There were now,forty classes, all approved by the Edu-cation Department. Tenders had nowbeen called for the new workshops. lareply to a request for more speedy con-struction of the workshops the Minis-ter of Education had replied that theitime given was not excessive, in view;of the fact that it was necessary tomake the building safe from earth-quakes. At present a ' garage on onaof the sections belonging to the schoolwas being used in conjunction with tiiaengineering room for a metal workclass. This was only a makeshift.

Evening Post.WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1931.

TURNED DOWN!

Those who read in one part oftheir morning paper the headline"Mr. Coates Offers Co-operation"and in another the headline "Mr.Coates -Offers to Co-operate" willhave been surprised to find whenthey came to the small print thatMr; Coates had rejected the offer ofco-operation which lie had beenconsidering for a week; that prac-tically the whole of his reply to thePrime Minister, and absolutely thewhole of it that is of a/iy import-ance, is taken up with the reasonsfor so doing; and that its generalpurport is a declaration of war tothe knife, which may precipitate aGeneral Election as soon as thetaxation Bills are passed. Insteadof collapsing or weakening underthe pressure of an unprecedentedeconomic crisis Mr. Forbes devel-oped a strength which surprised amajority of his countrymen.. Theman whom they had regarded assmall was seen to be. much biggerthan they supposed. Their admira-tion and their gratitude were, in-creased when, after weathering anexceptionally troubled and momen-tous session without jettisoning anyvital part of his drastic programme,Mr. Forbes invited the Opposition toco-operate in the, formation of anew party and a new Government,and in order that "the slate shouldbe wiped clean" for even-handednegotiation offered unconditionallythe resignations of the whole Cabi-net, including himself.

We deeply regret that', after anumber of petty, mean, and bittercriticisms from. unofficial representa-tives of the Reform Party, this invi-tation has now been unconditionallyrejected by its leader. We know Mr.Coates too well to accuse him of alack of patriotism or of a deliberatedesire to put the interests of hisparty above those of the nation, butwe are firmly convinced that boththose; interests will be grievouslyinjured by his decision, and thathis own reputation as party leaderand national statesman must sufferaccordingly. The essential differ-ence between the two leaders isreally riot one of patriotism, but ofappreciation of the dangers whichconfront us, and which, are likelyto become a good deal worse beforethey are any better. In the languagewith which,we were familiar in 1914Mr. Forbesl fully realises that thereis a war on,'but Mr. Coates doesnot.The war parallel iswell stated by ananonymous writer in the Februarynumber of the "English Review,"who on his return to England fromabroad was almost as much op-pressed by "a; lack of any publicrealisation.that a disaster is impend-ing" as he was in the-months beforethe War.ult is not indifference, I think, hewrites, w much as sheer inability toroad the signs of the times or to believethat for this England a real econ-omic collapse is possible. There werepeople in 1914 who scarcely realisedthat we were engaged in anythingmore serions than the usual "sort of a■war" until they found that theycould not take their Continental holi-days as arranged.He points out that there are peopleof the samekind now, and that thereare others not so blind who never-theless do not see how they can helpas they did then.

They cannot "join up" as in 1914.There is no .*«first hundred thousand"in this war. There are only poli-ticians. And the less one talks of poli-ticians of almost any school beforepeople who know something of whatfaces hb, the greater their respect forone's mental stability.

Mr. Coates was, as everybodyknows, one of the first to' realisethat there was a war on in 1914,andto give practical proof of it, but to-day in the presence of a far moreformidable foe than Germany, andone that may hold on even longerthan she did before asking for anarmistice, he must be classed amongthe politicians, and not among thefar-sighted politicians either. Whathas been uppermost in everybodyelse's mind during the last three orfour months has presumably been inMr. Coates's mind also, yet thereis hardly the faintest vestige of itin his letter to the Prime Minister.He has actually reached the para-graph beginning, "In conclusion,"before he makes a quite colourlessreference to "the present crisis," anda second reference.of the same kindto "the present period of economicstrain" is reserved for the very lastsentence. Even there he"copfines him-self,to the modest aspirationto safeguard the interests of the peoplein the present period of economic strainand to carry on the government of- thecountry until the time lvhon the electorswill decide the policy and the govern-ment the country desires.On the face of it, this unfortunate

statement might mean that the pre-sent economic strain will have passedbefore the General Election, but whatit actually does mean is that the Re-form Leader does not take a suffi-ciently serious view of the economicposition to suppose that the pos-sibility of its indefinite aggravationby a three-cornered fight is a riskagainst which it is worth making thefaintest effort to guard. Mr. Coateswill abate something of the rigourof the party game in order to avoida Parliamentary impasse, but thefar greater dangers of a confusedGeneral Election and the politicalchaos which may follow are beyondthe scope of his safeguards. Thegrave sense of responsibility whichinspired the Prime Minister's offerand elevated it from the plane ofparty politics to that of nationalstatesmanship is conspicuously ab-sent from the Opposition Leader'sreply.

The patriotism of Mr. Coates is, aswe have said, above suspicion, butwhat are we to say of the justiceor the sportsmanship of such a criti-cism as this of a Government which,whatever its past sins, has just en-abled the country to win the firstbattle in a fight against an enemywhich is. threatening ; the wholeworld?

Avowedly the bond between theUnited Party, the Labour Party, andthe Independents which enabled theUnited Party to gain and retain officewas their common animosity to theReform Party. Our policy has notchanged, and as far as we are aware'the alliance you have maintained withthe Labour Party for two sessions hascome to an end, not because you areconverted to the< policy wo have advo-cated, but because the Labour Partyis dissatisfied with your policy.The first of these sentences is per-fectly accurate, but the second isabout as perverse as unjust, and asglaring in its inaccuracy as it couldpossibly be. Labour was, of course,dissatisfied with the Government atthe end of last year's session, largelyon account of the soundest, parts ofits unemployment policy. Therewas, howeverj no open breach, andwhen_Mr. Forbes returned from Lon-don in January it was open to himto get an assured support from Lab-our by capitulation or compromiseon economic policy. But he knewthat Labour's economic remedieswould be disastrous to the country,and without delay or hesitation headopted a sound and drastic pro-gramme, based largely on principleswhich the Reform Party had previ-ously advocated, and with that party'shelp he put it through. Having thussurmounted the first great obstacle,the Prime Minister suggests that theco-operation which rendered thissuc-cess possible should be made moresecure for the purpose of dealingwith the difficulties still ahead. Butinstead of welcoming, him as a brandplucked from the burning and offer-ing to help, the Reform Leader de-nounces him as a hypocrite, on theground that his conversion to Reformprinciples was dictated not by beliefin these principles, but by the hos-tility of Labour! The tactical follyof such a procedure seems to be atleast as great as its injustice and itsingratitude.

We have no space to deal in detailwith other fallacies and disappoint-ments in Mr. Coates's letter, but inconclusion we may say that the rootof them seems to lie in the failureto grasp the magnitude of the econo-mic crisis and in the unfortunate as-sumption, for which there is no foun-dation either in Mr. Forbes's offeror in the facts, that it is a combina-tion of "class interests" against Lab-our that he has in view, and not anational combination against aneconomic malady which threatensevery class alike. Mr. Coates hasmistaken the enemy, and at the sametime done his best to make an enemyof a party which sought his friend-ship, andmight have been fully con-verted to hispolicy.

THE NIEMEYER REPORT

The full text of the report fur-nished by Sir Otto Niemeyer onbanking'and currency questions hasnot been made available. All thathas been made public at the timeof writing is that the report recom-mends^ the formation of a centralbank. This in itself involves a big'change in New Zealand bankingpractice, but it is impossible to sayhow far-reaching the change ! maybe until it is seen what form ofcentral bank Sir Otto Niemeyer pro-poses. There are certain generalprinciples applying to central bankswhich, we may assume, will applyto any such institution recommendedfor New Zealand. A central bankis intended to have the sole right ofnote issue, thus controlling 'cur-rency. It should be free from poli-tical'control and yet in close touchwith-, the Government of the Day. Itshould not be subject to domina-tion by trading banks or commer-cial interests, and to guard againstprofit-making motives its dividendsshould be limited. It should not[undertake the general commercialbanking, but should be a bankers'bank.

These general principles, we mayassume, will be embodied in Sir OttoNiemeyer's recommendations; but itcannot be said what, if any, specialproposals he will make to meet thespecial conditions obtaining in theDominion. Two of these specialconditions are that the majority ofthe commercial banks doing busi-ness in New Zealand are branchesof Australian banks, and the Gov-ernment has a substantial share inthe biggest New Zealand bank. Thefirst of these factors has been con-siderably dicussed in the past twoyears, in which period the Austra-lian exchange crisis has arisen. For-merly Australian and New Zealandexchange were*on a parity, butgradually a substantial differencelias been made. Whether there shouldbe a still greater difference, involv-ing even distinct separation of con-trol of exchange, is a question whichis of great moment to commercial

and producing interests in New Zea-land. It would be premature to offeran opinion on this question or onother phases of central bank policy.All that can be said at this lime isthat Sir Otto Niemeyer's reportshould be given thorough and im-partial consideration. To assure thiswe think it would be advisable thatthe full text of the report should bemade public as early as possible. Iflegislation is to be introduced in thecoming session the tinic even now isshort for the full examination ofsuch important proposals. -,CONTROL OF EXPENDITURE

One result of renewed interest incity finance, it is hoped, will be the)adoption of more sensible methodsof control. But this is not to.be at-tained by the council scrutinisingevery small proposalfor expenditure.The council itself must lay downthe general lines of policy, accord-ing to the needs of the city and thefinance available. Then it must callupon its committees and officers togive effect to that policy." One can-didate for the council has stated hisopposition to such delegation ofauthority. The suggestion to givemore authority to heads of depart-ments, he says, means in effect giv-ing them power to spend, and thathe objects to.

There- can be.only one authority toauthorise the expenditure, and that isthe City Council as representative ofthe ratepayers. The City Council isthe custodian of the city's purse, andany delegation of its spending powersto employees will"be a retrograde stop.We cannot agree with this. Rather,we believe that it would be to thecity's advantage if greater responsi-bility rested with the departmental'officers, so that the council had moretime to devote to general policy. Ofcourse,^ officers cannot be given afree hand, but■ they should be al-lowed latitude and required to showresults. The council itself cannotwatch every shilling, and if it at-tempts to do so, and will not trustits officers, the result is likely to bewasteful expenditure due to imper-fect, supervision. .

The 10 Per Cent. Cut.A protest against the 10 per cent,

cut in salaries is contained in the an-nual report of the Secondary Schools'Association of New Zealand. The re-port states: "Although wo as second-ary school teachers yield to no one inour willingness to submit to sacrificesto fulfil our obligations and duties ascitizens of the State, we regard thopresent proposals as inequitable, especi-ally as they do not provide for a re-turn to our present scale in more pros-perous times. Some temporary decreasein salary might have been borne pro-vided that we had the assurance thatwhen, conditions improved wo wouldbe allowed to revert to' our presentscale." ■Kaiwarra Gorge Widening.

"The City Council for the,next twoyears will riot have much money tospare for works other than the barenecessities," said Mr. J. N. Wallace,a candidate for the City Council, oilMonday, referring to the need of /wid-ening the Kaiwarra Gorge road. "How-ever, I feel confident it will be pos-sible to help those who help themselves.Some such scheme as this might solvethe matter. If the property "owners onthe north side of the road drew up anagreement to act on the decision ofthe majority, votes being based ' onthe frontage of property owned, I seeno reason why they, could not cometo some understanding with the councilto donate or to sell at a low price landnecessary for widening the road, thecouncil undertaking to move' backbuildings or to give the owners a sumequivalent on the understanding thatthe owners within, a specifiod timewould have'the building moved or de-molished. This should benefit .all con-cerned. ' The value of shop propertyis much reduced now, due to the nar-rowness of the road which makes itimpossible for lorries to remain park-ed long enough to load and unload. Asfar as residences are concerned, thenarrowness presents a constant dan-ger to families with children."A Matter of Procedure.

A view that the procedure at Magis-terial inquiries into nautical mishapstended to place the master of the shipconcerned in an anomalous position wasexpressed by Mr. E. K. Kirkcaldie dur-ing the course of the Port Hobart in-quiry in the":Magistrate's Court yester-day. Mr.Kirkcaldie contended that asa nautical inquiry was in the natureof an inquest the primary duty of theCourt was to discover the- cause of themishap. If in the course of the inquiryit was thought that there had been awrongful act or default on the partof anyone, then the Court had power togo into that question, but its primarypurpose was to discover the cause ofthe accident. Not until it appeared thatthere had been a dereliction of dutycould the Court put the master in a posi-tion of having to justify his everyaction ex post facto. The procedure atan ordinary Coronial inquiry strictlyconfined the evidence to the cause oftho.fatality and strictly excluded evi-dence which.went to point to personalresponsibility, but in a nautical in-quiry the master of the ship was com-pelled to justify his actions as a con-dition of exoneration. Mr. E. Parrysupported Mr. Kirkcaldie's reknarks,but Mr.E. Page, S.M., pointed out that,in his opinion, a Coronial inquiry wasnot quite a parallel case/ because oneof the duties of a nautical Court wasto consider the conduct of the masterand his officers on the occasion of theaccident, and if in the Court's opinionthe evidence warranted it, then to ex-press an opinion on that conduct."Doesn't tho fact that"this ship," withplenty of seaway on one side and landon the other, ran ashore require someexplanation?" he asked.

Bus Stand Moved.In accordance with the City Council

decree ,the railway bus stand, whichhitherto has been opposite LambtonStation, has now been shifted to a nowposition in Feathei^ston street oppositethe Telephone Exchange building. Thisnew position does not make for easyconnection between tram and bus, andit has the decided drawback of an or-namental grass plot between tho pave-ment and the buses. After a little wetwoatner and after much trampling, thisgrass will cease to bo ornamental, andwill become a.muddy morass. A'num-ber of intending passengers Trent tothe old stand yesterday with aview tocatching a bus to tho Hutt Valley, andfound quite a little walk necessnry be-fore they located the new stand.

Left in the Lurch.After the departures of the warship

Diomedc for Auckland ou Monday af-ternoon it was discovered that four ofthoratings hadbeen left behind, and itwas necessary for the ship to returnto pick them up. The cruiser leftafter the customary leave-takings be-tween the sailors and their shorefriends at 4.20 p.m., and in a littleover an hour she was back in the har-bour; the men who had missed the boatwere rowed out from, the Clyde QuayAVharf, a7id in a short time "the inter-rupted trip was resumed.Otira Tunnel Traffic.

'The "Grcymouth Evening Star" saysthat since July, 1930, goods traffic onthe Midland line has shown a continu-ous decrease, the figures for eacli monthcomparing unfavourably with those ofthe corresponding month of the preced-ing year. In April the decline in theaggregate weight of goods through theOtira tunnel from west to east was16,059 tons. The totals were: April1931, 34,226 tons; April, 1930, 50,285tons. The following have been themonthly totals since the beginning ofthe year, with the totals for last yearin parentheses in each ease:—January30,409 (43,777); February, 34,375 (53,----402); March, 40,230 (55,269); April,34,226 (50,285). Aggregate: 139,240(202,733). In the last few days traffichas considerably improved, heavy con-signments of coal for railway use" beingresponsible. Monday's total of 2451tons was a record for the year, and ex-ceeded any since 17th September, 1930,when 2502 tons were transported.Good Old Dame Rumour.

"Many rumours have been circulated"by those opposed to me," said Mr. T.C. A. Hislop, the ,Civic League andEatepayers' Association candidate forthe Mayoralty, on Monday* "Amongthem is the rumour that I propose, ifelected, to reduce the wages of thetramway men. I have never said or sug-gested any such thing. The tramwaymen: some little time ago on their owninitiative made certain, proposals re-garding working time which have beenadopted, and which have effected con-siderable economies in working and areworking satisfactorily to all concerned.

" Thero is no reason whatever to disturbthem, _and, far from intending to doso, it is my hope that as times improvewe will no longer be obliged to acceptthe sacrifices the men arc making, andwill be able to restore this large andefficient body of men to tho positionthey were in before. All employees andworkers can rely upon a fair and -justdeal from me." Mr; Hislop said thatit had also been suggested that it was

' on his casting vote that work oh theHataitai tunnel was stopped. The ideawas absurd, for he had always sup-ported and would continue to do allho could to see that that access workwaa completed. "The circulation ofthese baseless rumours shows the -weak-ness of the case of those opposing me "said Mr. Hislop. "They fail to makeany direct attack upon my policy.?'Dental Clinics, 'At tho opening of the dental clinic atthe Waimairl School (Christchurch) onSaturday, Mr. J. L. Saunders, Directorof Dental Hygiene, gave an indicationof an important change in the manage-ment of school dental'clinics (says anexchange). This servieo to the com-munity cost a large sum of money andthe Government, in its effort to econo-mise, was forced to cut down the ex-penses. It had been decided that forthe future the parents would have toshare in the expense. The Departmentwould ask the school committees topay for all drugs and materials used.To meet this . the school committeeswould be empowered to make a nom-inal charge for each child receiviugtreatment.

A never-ending stream of motorvehicles onthe waterfront road on Sun-day boro testimony to the popularityof Auckland's newly-opened scenicdrive (says the Auckland "Star")..T,hebeautiful day .and the novelty of thedrive' no ;doubt accounted for the al-most abnormal number of vehicleswhich' used the road, and its futureas a Sunday drive is assured. Orakeiattracted a fair number of the motor-ists, who were entertained .by a tenniscontest between Maoris of the settle-ment. At Mjssion Bay, however, therewere even more ears drawnup. ThroughMission Bay, where the road is rathernarrow, and wherecars were parked onboth sides ofthe road, going was neces-sarily slow, and at times a jam occur-red. Such stoppages, however, werequickly straightened outj and the earscontinued on their way to and fromKohimarama and St. Helier's Bay.

"Stands Alone." ."New Zealand is a country preventedonly by her detachment frombecomingthe most popular touring centre in the

world," said Mr.' W. J. Grant, editorof the "Bangoon Times," Burma, in aninterview with an Auckland "Star"representative. "I have beon'all overyour flue land," said Mr. Grant, "andfound it fair and good to look upon.It compares favourably with the Hima-layas, which Ihave explored with somethoroughness, and is not eclipsed bySwitzerland in grandeur,while in. scenicvariety it stands alone. The Himalayasare vaster in scale, and their snowsaregreater in mantling capacity, but Ican assure yon they are not more im-pressive. Even the Buller Gorge inthe South Island has unique features.The travel facilities in New Zealandalso are, to me, amazingly good. Wehave certainly nothing like them inIndia or Burma, and my experience ofEuropean travel forbi"ds me to claimany superiority for Italy or Switzer-land. The fact that I managed to seethe whole of the Napier, Botorua, andHamilton districts within a week speaksvolumes for the dispatch and efficiencyof railway and, service car facilities."Mr. Grant is touring Australia andNew. Zealand in order to study politicaland economic conditions in these coun-tries. He is an authority on agricul-ture. "When aviation has developed andquickened travel," he declared, "I amconvinced that New Zealand's scenicand other virtues will be more exten-sively recognised. She is at present alonely land stranded 'in a vast ocean.The aeroplane will rescue her."

BANKS AND CLIENTS

BOOKKEEPING CHARGE

MR. FOABES'S OPINION

In reply to an inquiry made by theNow Zealand Farmers' Union in regardto the mereased bookkeeping chargerecently imposed by the banks, thePrime Minister (the Bight Hon. G.W. Forbes) advised the Dominionexecutive by letter as its meeting to-day that the increase was to offset theadditional amount of note-tax, whichwas increased from 3 per cent, to 4$per cent, per annum. It was under-stood in that connection that the banksdidnot propose to pass on tho addition-al income tax imposed.

Taking those facts into Considera-tion, however, Mr. Forbes said heag>eed that the banks might well haverefrained from increasing the chargefor keeping clients' accounts, especi-ally at the present time, but the mat-ter was one for discussion between thebanks and their clients, and he sug-gested that the Farmers' Union takeup the matter direct with the banksconcerned.

TRADE WITH CANADA

UNFORTUNATE POLICYBOTH COUNTRIES SUFFER

NEWSPAPER'S PLEA

(From '^The Post's"' Representative.)VANCOUVER, ,12th April.

An extraordinary cliiango has comeover the trade relations of New Zealandand Canada, since the. latter raised theduty on butter and the former re-taliated with a higher duty on automo-biles.

From. January to October, 1930,prior to the alteration c»f the duty, NewZealand exported approximately 37,----000,0001b of butter to' Canada, or anaverage of 4,000,0001b a month. Insubsequent months buttter arrived inCanada as follows:—November, 641b;December, 84,2421b; Jatnuary, 17961b;February; 132,3381b.

The total value of motor-cars ex-ported from Canada to 2\W'.w Zealand in1930 was £1,120,000,t ne;M:ly 8000 earsbeing exported, or over 660 per month.In the month of Januairy, this year,Canada exported 225 cats, valued at£19,800. In February omly four carswere exported.

These- figures show the effect of thecancellation of the agreeiment withNew Zealand, and demonstrate that theresults have been most unitortunate forboth countries.

NEED FOR ACTION.The Vancouver "Daily Province"

which has always sponsored the'agree-ment, is urging Canadian blisiness in-terests to stress the need £<>r immedi-ate action and to urge the Governmentat Ottawa to .restore the agreement."New Zealand," it says, "feels theloss of her butter 'trade keenly, andhag an idea that Australia-has ; gotahead of her through tho negotiation ofa reciprocal agreement with. Canada.Mr. Forbes has been blamed, severelyfor the prevailing conditions,1and hasbeen criticised for not returning fromitho Imperial Conference by way- ofCanada. The Australian aj^reement,however, is still hanging fli»e. Mr.Stevens, the Minister at Ottawa mostinterested in carrying it through, hasbeen ill, and in Australia the ■Govern-ment has been verymuch'wonted byboth financial and political tlroubles.When the Australian agreememt hasbeen completed, ito- doubt .steps will betaken to arrango a similar treatiry withNew Zealand. The two southern Do-minions are both-good customers ofCanada, and have a market capaSble ofbeing developed. They have similarproducts to export, and there should be-a market for some' of these in Canada.It was never intended that one shouldbe treated differently from the' other.

"But while negotiations are drag-ging, New Zealand is becoming impati-ent and the Chamber of Commerce atAuckland has decided to take up thematter of better relations with theNow Zealand Government, the otherNew Zealand chambers' of commarce,and the Canadianboards of trade. Itis to be hoped that its efforts will meetwith 'Success. , If the method of nego-tiating, instead of clapping oh < highduties, had been adopted- from the I><S-ginning, the trade between the tinnocountries might have- been in a motnesatisfactory condition to-day."

TRADE REPRESENTATIVES.A very regrettable incident in the-

present controversy is the attack made'in the New Zealand Press by Mr. W.H. C. Macaulay, of Vancouver, on theDominion's Commissioner, Mr. W.\'-J»jCollins, in saying: "A year or so ago,wo heard that a Trade- Commissionerhad been sent here, but nothing isknown about him or his whereabouts,or whether he is still in Canada. WithAustral/ pushing her butter in, andmaking areal effort, through her much-alivo Trade Commissioner, New Zea-land may soon, lose -u/iat trade shehas."

Quite apart from the unwarrantedand unjustifiable attack made by Mr.Macaulay on a deserving public officer,he probably does not .know what isknown to the whole commercial com-munity of Vancouver, that is, that NewZealand has had a very active Govern-ment agent in Vancouver, Mr. W. A.James, for the past 25 years.. Asimple inquiry from, any member ofthe commercial community, 'the Boardof Trade, ;or the public Press, wouldhave placed him in possession of thefacts. Mr. Macaulay must surely beaware that, the reason for Australia, se-curing the butter trade formerly heldby New Zealand has nothing whateverto do with the activity of eitlier TradeCommissioner. It is due to the fiscalpolicy of the Bennett Governmentwhich permits Australia to sell . herbutter in Canada at 32 cents (Is 4d)per Ib, while making it impossible forNew Zealand to do so with a duly of8 cents (4d) per Ib. Distortion of plainstatistical facts will not help to solvethe problem, which is simply a matterof asking Canada to honour the pledgeshe has honoured under the Gentle-man's Agreement for over thirty years,until last August, of extending to NewZealand the same Imperial preferenceaccorded to another Dominion.

COLD WEATHERUNPLEASANT CHANGE

Although the ■weather yesterday wasgenerally cloudy, rain, was confinedchiefly to far northern and'southerndistricts of the Dominion. Inthe night,however, a- change to strong southerlywinds set in, and unsettled conditionsextended to other districts,, more es-pecially to those with an easterly as-pect. Temperatures became consider-ably colder than they have been oflate. Owing to the advance towardsthe southern part of New Zealand of arather intense anti-cyclone, barometershave risen considerably. But pres-sure is still relatively low over thenorth of the North. Island owing to adepression located to the northwardremaining practically stationary.

Auckland experienced dull weatheryesterday, with an easterly breeze. InWellington it was mostly dull too, al-though the sun shone for a bit in theafternoon. The-wind was a light north-erly and temperatures were compara-tively mild and pleasant. Chrißtchurchhad a sunnyday wijth an overcast even-ing. A fresh north-easterly windgradually decreased. In Dunedin theweather yesterday was unsettled. Witha change in the wind to the south,rainfell in the afternoon.Present indications are for strongsouth-easterly windsnorth of FarewellSpit and Kaikoura, gale force beingreached in places. Elsewhere windawill be moderate. Fine weather maybe expected in the western part of theSouth Island, in. Otago, and over mostof Canterbury, but elsewhere theweather will be changeable and unset-tled. Eain. is probable in North Auck-land and between Hawkes Bay and theBay of Plenty, falls in these districtsbeing heavy at times. Scattered show-ers are probable in other districts. Tem-peratures will be cold.

Mr. D. Campbell, after eighteen years'service as a member of the ■Welling-ton Hospital Board, does not intend toseek re-election. At a meeting of theboard yesterday, the chairman andmembers of the board eulogised Mr.Campbell's long and valuable service.Mr. T. 11. Gill also does not intend toseek re-election, and regret was ex-pressed at his retirement. Messrs.Campbell and Gill suitably acknowledg-ed the. warm terms of appreciation oftheir work.

CORRESPONDENCETHE BUSINESS MEN'SLETTER

(To the Editor.)Sir,—The column headed "Facing the

Facts" in your issue of this evening callsfor comment. It refers to "the originalmemorandum presented to Mr; Forbes andMr. Cbates urging the formation of aNational Government." Then follows afurther statement by some unnamed per-sons who claim to have been amongstthe signatories of the original memoran-dum. One is left to guess how manyi-or how few—of the signatories of the or-iginal memorandum endorsed this furtherstatement, or had even been made ac-quainted with the fact that it was to beissued. It must be remembered that theoriginal request was for one of- threethings; but the proposal actually" madeby Mr. lorbes—for the formation of anentirely new part};—was not in line withthe request contained in the original mem-orandum. I have reason to believe that alargo number of those who signed thatoriginal petition would therefore stronglydissent from this further statement nowissued by one or two of their numberWith regard to the original petition 'orletter itselt, although this was publishedand featured" by "The Post," we re-member that the list of signatories wasnot published. So far as the public areconcerned, the document was'anonymousThat is rather a pity. The public wouldprobably have been pleased to learn whowere the persons, and what were theinterests behind the movement. Therewere, of course, some good Reformersamongst those who signed, men who atthe moment were persuaded that thecourse suggested would be in the bestinterests of the Dominion—and several ofwhom, on reflection, have since changedtheir opinion. But the public might bemuch interested to learn who were theprime movers and the active canvassersin getting siguatures for the document, andhow many of these were closely associatedwith the inner circles of the UnitedParty. You know, Sir, and I know (myinformation having been given by some ofthe signatories themselves). But couldnot we let the public also into thejoke?■ ' . . 'Of course, if the petition*br letter hadbeen of a private nature, one could notno;v have raised these points. But it waspublisher! in the Press. Even though pub-lished, if it had appeared in the ordinaryway over a noni deplume, to be consider-ed simply on its own merits without re-ference to authorship, still one would haveraised no objection. But when it was im-pressed upon the public that the weightof the document depended upon theweight of the names- (unnamed) behindit. then oiie is entitled to ask that ;thewhole of the story shouldbe told.

SIR JAMES PARR'S OPINIONS

(To the Editor.) .Sir,—The statements of Sir James Parr

anent a change-over fromi Free Trade toProtection in Britain are co incorrect andinjurious to our welfare as to merit areply from some of "The Post's" readers.

How Sir James or anyone else canderive comfort from such" a deplorableevent as the abandonment of Free Tradein Britain is past belief, for the enormousbenefits ofFree Trade-have not been con-fined to Britain herself, but have in greatmeasure enriched all her. dominions. Themstitution of Protection in Britain willdeal New Zealand a staggering blow. Whatguarantee is there that preferential treat-ment will be given to the Dominions?Even if it is so stated now by leaders ofthe protective movement in Britain, a fewyears hence may see a great change ofopinion: The bargaining methods of theDominions may.well prompt a revival ofthe once famous "cut the painter" policy;and, frankly, Sir, it would well pay Brit-lain to turn the Dominions.adrift. - Protec-.

."tionists here are cherishing a delusion if±hey hope that the advent of Protection,in Britain will benefit New Zealand. ItIs certainly not designed' to do so, nor■even to.benefit the British fanner. - It willqnhance the rents of rural Britain andramove a haunting fear from'the greatlandowners of a direct tax upon theirb:poad acres. .',..■

New Zealand will ;have no occasion tothank Sir James Parr and others for theirassistance in converting Britain to Protec-tion,

_for, so far from acquiring an in-creasing and enhancing market for ourproducts, with as is fondly hoped a sub-stantial rise in our rural land values, itwiH be ifound too late that our one andonl;y market is lost to us. Special in-tercists, trading where they can get thebestareturns—e.g., Rfissia—and being right

on -the spot will effectivelyclose, the Brit-ish market to our products. Besides thisfundamental error, Sir James Parr'sstatements abound 'witlt fallacies. "Mil-lions spent with foreign countries couldbe diverted" to the Dominions." I amunder? the impression that at least as faras Nexw Zealand is concerned, Britain takesall w«care to send to her; "They (Britain)cannot at present make tneir goods cheaplyenough." The implication is .that Protec-tion irill lower costs. A most amazingconclusion. All experience attests to thecontrary. Nowhere in the wide world willSir James Parr adduce a single instanceof this. Australia, with her enormoustariffs, should on this reasoning be in ahighly prosperous condition. Sir JamesParr frraely uses that stupid word "dump-ing/5 long ago Professor Fawcett point-ed out that "dumping," or selling belowcost, merely injured the people who dump-ed and "benefited the people "dumped"upon.—l am, etc.,■ . .'■'".

LATE FEE LETTERS(To the Editor.)

Sir,—la it not possible to extend thetime for jposting letters at the ordinary-rate by tie Vancouver mail, go as togive correspondents an opportunity ofreplying to letters received by the SanFrancisco mail, -without the necessity ofpaying lato-fee rates? Under the pre-sent arrangements a letter has to beposted bel.Vre 11.45 a.m., to avoid thepenalty of additional postage. It isobviously, impossible to getletters writ-ten in reply to those received the samemorning from overseas and post thembefore that hour, and those wishingto get letters away by this mail have,therefore, to' jay an extra 2d for latefee postage.1 This, in addition to theextra postage recently imposed on allletters, adds considerably to the ex-pense of cornwpondenee, and may be afairlylarge item when there are manyletters to be !»o dealt with.

Letters gofcug by the San Franciscomail may"be ■posted at ordinary ratesup till 2 p.m.f ttie boat leaving at 3p.m. Why should it not be possibleto receive letters at the GJP.O. np to,say, 6 p.m. ats ordinary ratesf Thiswould still leave 1 hour and 15 min-utes for the mail to catch the nightLimited, leavinjj* at 7.15 p.m. What ispossible in the case of the San Fran-cisco mail shouldl be possible in the caseof the Vancouver mail. There also ap-pears to be no :ieason why the sameshould not apply to all letters going bythe night Limited, whether overseas ornot. —I am, etc., ■GEO. TOOGOOD.

VOICE OF CAIN

HAND OF-THE UNIONS"NON-POLITICAL" RAILWAYS

A LITTLE LEAK

The substitution of non-political con-trol of railways, for political controlthereof, does not always mean thecom-plete exclusion of political influence.Already Few Zealand is asking itselfto what extent political influence maycreep past the barriers erected in thonow legislation. , Thoreforo a recentdiscussion in Victoria concerning tho- Victorian Minister of Railways and theVictorian Eailway Commissioners, willbe of interest. "MANAGEMENT (NOT POLICY)1 J MATTER. " . ■

It must be borne in mind that Vic-toria is under a Labour (Ilogan) Gov-ernment, but between Hognu Labour,and Lang (N.S.W.) Labour there ap-pears to be, if not a distinction, cer-

-1 tainly a difference. Nevertheless, the"Argus" thus assails the VictorianMinister of Railways, Sir. Cain:

"By issuing an instruction to theCommissioners to abolish

forthwith the ■ seven fuel conservationhoards established several years ago±ho Minister .of Hailways (Air.. Cain)proves that he has speedily forgottenthe admirable sentiments uttered bylum.afew days ago concerning therightof the Commissioners to manage tho(service without political interference.,On this occasion he has interfered inthe most flagrant manner, and there islittle room for doubt that his interfer-ence has been inspired by,the hostilityof officials of tho Bailways Union toan administrative reform instituted bytho Commissioners which .has nevermot with -union approval. The con-tention of, the union officials that*the. modest sum which the boards cost isan unnecessary expense corn.es strange-ly from men who have recently beenloud in their clamour- that the rail-ways should be overstaffed mth num-erous nion at full pay in order'to avoidBuffering to siny railway-man. It isnot true, moreover, for the boards havesaved thousands of pounds while cost-ing a few hundreds. Tho real reasonfor the union's opposition to the boardsis that they are agencies for creatingloyalty, efficiency, and good will, andconflict ■with*the union's policy ofutrengthening itself as champion oftailwaymen's interests by fostering dis-*content." , 'WHEBE DOES "POLICY" END.

According to tho "Argus," the Vic-torian law will need to be amended ifit is to completely protect commissionercontrol from Ministerial interference.,The exception provided fbr^poiicy mat-

" tors'is wide enough to admit too muchof' tho political finger, and will even]ct in the political fist: "The'letter of*!ie law on these matters is that tho,Ministry may direct the, Commission-ers on quostions of policy. That pro-vision was originally, introduced intotlie .Eailways Act to undermine the■authority of tho Commissioners on tholarger questions, but those who framedit did not contemplate that it would boused nearly 40 years later by Minis-ters who were not concerned withrailway policy so much as with xail-. way votes. When anything of whichthe unions do not approve is submittedto the Minister he finds it convenient

' to elevate the subject into a matter ofrailway policy and to issue'orders ac-cordingly.

"Mr. Cain said, 'I have abolishedthe' committees with a view to economy.Bringing together a number-of officers■periodically from, all parts* of theStale is, in my opinion, an unnecessaryexpense.' Tho 'I' and the 'my'stand but conspicuously in. this regalpronouncement, and there may bepeoplo'dull enough to think, that astatement made with such pompous as-surance has some substanco behind it.Most people, however, will "regard .theorder as the pronouncement of a weak-ling pretending to bo strong, of an ig-■ norant person in accidental, possessionof office and moro concerned with thepreservation of it than with the public

INVASION OF AUTHORITY...

,"Mr. Cain is credited with, politicalambition, of a higher kind even thanthat which, ho has realised. It may beon that account that he has taken ad-vantage of the absence of Mr. Iloganto exercise the power that' should cer-tainly not have been exorcised' in theabsence of the Premier. Directions tothe Commissioners on a matter of pol-. icy are concerned as, a rule with fin--, ance, and "with important matters of.finance at that. Departure from the, sound rule which Mr. Cain laid down, last week with such, unction when itsuited him should be made only afterCabinet consideration.

In view of the alarm, particularlyamong women, arising out oil the- earthtremors, jolts, and detonations felt inWestport on Friday night and early onSaturday morning, Mr. 11. E. Holland,M.P., communicated with the . Depart-ment of -Scientific and Industrial Kc-search. Mr. Holland received the fol-lowing reply from D.r. Marsden, perman-ont head, of the Department:—■ "Previous records in New Zeaalnd ofJolts and detonations such as WestpoTtis experiencing indicate that theso havenot been precursors of destructive earth-quakes. Consequently, I do not antici-pate danger to Westport, particularlyas relief of surface stresses resultingfrom, the effect of the Murchison earth-quake is to bo expected, causing suchdetonations as arc now experienced."

FISHERY RETURNSVALUABLE INDUSTRYNEW SCHEME WANTED

INSPECTOR'S REPORT

According to the'annual report ontheDominion's fishories, compiled by thechief inspector, Mr.',A. E. Hefford, thetotal value of tho produco of the Do-minion's fisheries for the year amount-ed to just under £500,000. The totalamount of wot fish landed in the Do-minion is shown to be 367,647cwt, val-ued at £449,4,40. Shellfish add an-other £38.003 to this total, which isfurther ■ augmented by £8901 fromwhaling operations in New Zealandcoastal waters.

"Unfortunately, we are still with-out the means' of obtaining fishery■Statistics in a systematic and compre-hensive manner) and it is to be observ-ed that thereturns whichreach this of-fice vary considerably in J,heir approxi-mation to accuracy," 'remarks Mr.Hefford in his report. By issuing log-books to individualskippers and by ob-taining records from fishing vessel own-ers or fish depots and markets endeav-ours,have been made to supplement andto check .the information derived fromthe annual returns of local inspectors.The facts provided by such data affordthe only material evidence upon fisheryconditions which wo can acquire, andthoso records have already proved tobeextremely useful to us in consideringvarious fishery problems. For this rea-son a great deal of time and attention,which could ill be spared from othorduties, has been devoted to tabulatingand summarising material of this na-.turc. Being hctoroge'neous, it is diffi-cult to digest into departmental re-cords. For tho same reason, and be-cause it is special and more or less con-fidential; it is not suitable'for publica-tion. We can ..only make the best iiseof opportunities ■ for obtaining it,though compared with",systematically-collected statistics it is like catching^rain water in buckets instead of usinga properly engineered wator supplysystem.

"The information required can onlybo obtained ■by tho total abolition ofour existing plan of collecting annualreturns, and replacing it with a methodof collecting more frequent and moredetailed statistics. .This will call formore work on the part of our represen-tatives at the ports,.whoso present exi-guous pay should therefore be incroas:od. It will also provide work for aiiextra statistical clerk at headquarters.In a year when retrenchment and eco-nomy are necessary, I 6honld not urgethis development but-for tho fact thatit has already been too long delayed,and' that tho work is such" that'beingdeferred its fruits are .lost for ever,i- "Possibly the conditionsin New Zea-,land, with its varied methods of land-ing and distributing fish and its scat-tered sources of supply, are'somewhatdifficult to square with a uniform sys-tem of fishery returns. In some placesthe best soiirco of information wouldbe the buyer who purchases the fishwhen first landed/l was at first inclin-ed to advocate this method1of obtain-ing data, which-is the system used inCalifornia;' but on further considera-tion it would appear, most satisfactoryto require simple returns of tho kinds,quantities, and value'of the-fish ]an<l-

ed, and the method of fishing, from eachlicensed fishing vessel owner (or skip-per) and to collect such returns month-ly; There will, be difficulties to over-come before the .scheme can ■ worksmoothly and efficiently. The princi-pal1 condition, for success is an attitudeof mutual helpfulness between thoseworking in the industry and those work-ing for the administration. Generallyspeaking, I believe this attitude exists,although usually the occasions for in-tercourse between fishermen and fisheryinspectors are, limited to those connect-ed with the enforcement of regulations.Tho scheme for the collection of statis-,tics would facilitate and increase op-portunities for intercourse betweenfishermen and officials to the benefit ofthe industry, and the. Department. .

VALUE OF STATISTICS."The interest and value of statistical

records of fishery production; is not,however,'confined to the administrativepoint of view,1 'which ■is concernedmainly with|ineaßurcs for conservation.It. has. a very real .value for thoseinterested in industrial .development.Very few, people will be inclined to in-vest capital in a concern unless they areprovided with data which givethem, in-formation as to its probable productiv-ity. Mining' operations are organisedon the basis of surveys and assays;agricultural undertakings with carefulregard to the yield per acre. But whoknows anything about the yield per unitarea of the fishinggrounds of New Zea-land? Accounts and pictures of occa-sional big catches tickle the idle fancyof the newspaper reader, but tho per-son, who is interested in abusiness sensedemands averages. The 'fluctuations ina fishery are tho most intriguing andembarrassing of all the difficult pro-blems associated with tho industry, andtheir significance can only bo apprecia-ted as elucidated by statistical treat-ment."I may conclude by referring to

actual cases showing how enterprise liasbeen foiled and impeded by the lack ofstatistical information. The questionof establishing a fish reduction plantfor the purpose of making fish-meal andoil from offal at a certain poTt is Tais-ea. What capital will be. required? Itdepends on the size of the plant, andthis depends upon the quantity and thefrequency of the landings of fish. Nothaving tho necessary statistical dat:ifor reference, the question is left in theair, and tho enterprise thwarted. Thesame difficulty is encountcrod in discus-sing projects for the better preservationof fish. ,The question of improved sys-tems of transport similarly turns uponconsideration of quantities to bo hand-led. Without the fundamental data noorganised scheme is possible, and thetrader struggles along on the narrowiui<l out-of-date lines of individualisticindustry.. "Whether one accepts the view Hiatour fisheries are capable of consider-ably increased '.exploitation or—which,I fear,'Ms much nearer the truth—thattheir potentialities arc comparativelylimited, and permanent damage by de-pletion a possibility against which allprecautions should bo taken, tho im-portance of a statistical study of .con-ditions must in cither case be recog-nised." ■

SEEKING A STRIKEAUSTRALIAN SEAMENNEWCASTLE BRANCH

STOP-WORK. MEETINGS

TO BE HELD AT ALL PORTS

United Press Association—By Electric ' Tele-graph—Copyright.

" (Received 6th .May, 10 a.m.)SYDNEY, This Day.

The Newcastle branch of tlife Sea-men's Union is attempting lo bringabout a strike of Australian seamenon 10th May in an endeavour lore-'store the old wages and conditions.At the instance of Newcastle mem-bers stop-work meetings will be heldat all ports on Blh May lo decidewhether theproposal will be adopted.

DEAD SAILORS' BOOKSMOSCOW EMISSARIES

Last week -what was described asprobably the largest meeting of theSeamen's Union ever held in Sydneydefeated a motion aiming at a generalstrike. Determined efforts were ■ madeby 'avowed Communists to havo thestrike motion 'carried, but, accordingto the cable message, when genuine-seamen saw that some of the so-calledmariners who wanted, the ships tiedup had never been to sea in their lives,that settled the matter.

Further light on this extraordinaryposition is thrown by a correspondentwho encloses a copy of tho Newcastle-"Sunday Sun," which states that, "byusing identity books believed to havebeen recovered from the bodicE ofTyncsido sailors lost at sea, Soviet emis-saries are-, seeking to pose as Britishseamen and ship to Australia ' for thepurpose of stirring up strife amongthe crews of liners at the Common-wealth ports.." , , '.According to the '/Sun"" the plothas been unmasked by its special cor-respondent, who wired that though' fivemen1arrested at Marseilles were in pos-session of identity " ■ books describingthem as ' British subjects and givingNewcaslle-on-TyM as their port of reg-istration, the police were satisfied,thatthe books were either forgeries, hadbeen stolen from the original owners,or had been recovered from tho bodiosof doad seamen, and that the men werereally Russians engaged on a specialmission for the Third International atMoscow.

One of the men, says the "Sun," hasjust been identified as p former diplo-matic courier of the So%iet ■ Republicswho was employed on Die service be-tween Moscow, Paris, and London un-til tho French Government had him re-moved. " "'Documents and propa^.-uida leafletsseized in the possession of the, fivesuspects leave no doubt that they wereon a special mission' to stir up Btrifeamong seamen on Australian liners intho hope of aggravating the economiccrisis by paralysing sea communicationsand thus creating, the atmosphere fav-ourable to revolutionary propaganda.

Marseilles police declare that thereis reason to believe that similar mis-sions have set out from Moscow " for"other areas in the1 hope of provoking re-volutionary outbreaks. , '" :Search is being made for a missiondestined for India. ~ ■ t

Tho pending departure of this mis-sion'is referred to in one of tho lettersseized on the five snspects. ■One of tho identity books found onthe men who claim to be from Tyne-side has the appearance *of having beenimmersed in sea water for some time,and the police suggest that it mayhave boen taken from, the body of adrowned sailor washed ashore alongthe coast. " ■It is

#known that tho Bolshevik agents

all ove-r Europe have made a point ofcollecting books from tho bodies, ofthe dead seamen' givep up by the -sea.

Tho British authorities are being ask-ed to assist in 'settling the point as towhether sailors' identity books madeout in thenames given by the, suspectsand giving Newcastlc-on-Tyne as portof origin have" been lost or stolen inrecent years.

In two instances microscopic ■ exam-ination supports' the belief that thedutos on tho, books have been altered torender them current, and it is possiblethat'all five were issued-a long timeago. 'MADEIRA INSURGENTS

REPLY TO THEODOREEFFECT OF BIG PAY OUT

WOULD MEAN INFLATION

(Received 6tli May, 10'a.m..)'SYDNEY, 'This Day.

Replying to Mr. Theodore's iemarksabout tho banks, Mr: A. C. Davidson,general manager of tho.Bank of NewSouth Wales, said that if, as suggest-ed, the banks paid' out £100,000,000,they could do.it either by credi-t ex-tensions or drawing; on tho Common-wealth Bank for , notes. . Tho effect,however, would, be sheer inflation! Jfit were done, tho purchasing power ofthe £1 note would be1 reduced to 63 Bd,and the burden would fall most heav-ily on the wage-earnors.

lln the course of !an address' to iail-waymen,* Mr. Theodore again attackedtho banks for obstructing his financialpolicy.

He said it had been represented bySir Robert Gibson that the banks couldnot extend further credit, yet in ihecase of the New South.Wales SavingsBank emergency the „CommonwealthBank came to its aid and accepted'theresponsibility for a liability the amount'of which might easily run into £1,----000,000.

Mr. Theodore said that it was ivillain-ous misrepresentation to say that theGovernment 1 sought wild inflation.Fiduciary enrreney "would be used tomake credit available in large sums forevery industry' where there was needfor it.

"Wo'propose," he said, "that, ifthe banks do not adopt a,more liberalpolicy and make credit available ■ inlargo 'amounts for trade -and business,then we mu6t regain control of the eur-rencyi " , ■" "I am convinced that the' Common-wealth/Bank directors are preventingthe country fromreturning to a stablecondition.

My cxperi-- fence is, as you are aware, that a Gov-ernment must "fall or resign when ilspolicy ceases to command public ap-proval or, if .it wishes to change itsdeclared policy, must consult the elec-, tors. If this sound rule isl-to be re-, laxed it must be done by the electorsand no'one else. No offer of office

NO FEAR OF LABOUR.

■ '"Those who "are asking that all avail-'able, political forces bo ranged againstLabour are influenced by fear, of tho.accession of Labour to power.

Sincewe do not share that fear, we, refuse to destroy ourselves and to," . become part of a party, however

' named, called into being for a reasoni which will " influence every step it■ takes. The Reform Party seeks to

' represent not a section of, but the

~' whole people, not the country or thecity, but the country, and the city,

' not .the employer or the employee,but the employer and employee. Thecourse 'you suggest would, in ouropinion, set up class government and. create a definite-separation in politics

Taking the view that the stability and harmony essential to a

*" ' ' , AUCKLAND, This Day.In the course of a column leader un-

der the caption "Fusion Offer De-clined," the "New Zealand Herald(Reform), says:—

"A refusal of the suggestion toamalgamate and form a fusion party,nnd an offer of co-operation to conductthe business of tho country are . themain features of the statementby the Leader of the Opposition inanswer'to tho Prime Minister. It'iscourteous and, moderate,' yet explicitand uncompromising. It puts intoproper perspective the position as be-tweon tho United and Reform Parties,the role of the Labour Party, and therights of the people. Analysed andset forth in this- fashion, the coursetho Prime Minister proposed appearsfar less simple, appropriate, or, indeed,inevitable, than was claimed by its ar-dent eulogists when it was made pub-lic. 'Mr. Coatos leaves it perfectlyclear that thero is no such singlenessof aim, purpose, and feeling betweenthe two parties as would bo essentialto fusion in tho"proper sense. If therewere, it would not need to bo effectedby public .invitation and acceptance.Ho v- was perfectly justified in his re-minder that common animosity to him-self and his party formed a bond whichlinked the United Party with thosewho gave-it unlimited support throughtwo sessions. Ho is ,equally justified,therefore, in assuming that the end ofthat " arrangement, with the proposedroorientation of political relations, ■isduo to tho re-vulsion of Labour, not thoconversion of the United Party. Thatbeing so, tho 'elements of the proposednew organisation, would be as uuhar-monious as he forecasts. Fusion inthose circumstances would leave thelast state worso than the first."

says:—! .""We havo not heard "that the Re-form Party as a whole has been con-sulted on tho subject./ Members ofthe Reform Party in Parliament donot constitute the party. If it is bythem, that the Prime Minister's propo-sal has been rejected it is to bo fearedthat they have done a serious disser-vice to Reform as a whole. The ef-fect which rejection may have on the'ReformParty is, however, of far lessmoment.than the effect on the country.It means not only that dhc system, ofminority Government which tho Do-minion has suffered since-the last Gen-eral Election will be continued duringtho ensuing session of Parliament, butalso that in all/probability it will becontinued in ,th'o Parliament to boelected .towards the end of the 'year.The conviction which " Mr. Forbes ex-pressed that a Government that is ina" minority of, the House cannot satis-factorily grapple with the serious dif-ficulties presented by an economic crisisof grave magnitude is ouo that mustbo shared with him by most peoplewho are anxious that these difficultiesshall be overcome 'in' a way that willprove to the eventual advantage of thoDominion. The Reform Party has dis-regarded a great opportunity, and indoing so it, will havo wounded thefeelings of, and possibly have estrang-ed, large numbers of electors who haveaccorded to it their warm support inthe past, but it will havo afforded avast amount of satisfaction to Mr.Holland and his friends.

WEAKNESS OF COALITION

"No fusion," tho "Star" (UnitedParty), states: —"Principles still count—or shouldcount—in politics, and it is refreshingto read an appeal to them by a partyleader. Stability is needed in ourpolitics sufficient to enablo tho urgentbusiness of the country to bo done, butstability may become a barren mark-ing of time. A weakness of: such acoalition is that tho Conservatives andLiberals cannot compose their funda-mental differences on tho land ques-tion. For example, there would certain-ly be a' sharp and even fatal differenceof opinion between the Reform andUnited'Parties. Moreover, any unionof parties that the public deemed to boa sacrificing of principles for. the pur-pose of keeping Labour out of office—iind.the public is not easily deceived insuch matters—would recoil againstthose who brought it about. The de-sire to make political capital out oftho country's difficulties obtrudes it-self too obviously in Mr. Coates's"statement to be overlooked by the pub-lic. ■ The outstanding fact that re-mains is that after talking freely aboutfusion for a long while Reform hasrejected the self-sacrrficing offer tothat end by the Prime Minister. Mem-bers of the Reform Party were discuss-ing fusion long before Mr. Forbes is-sued his invitation.^ " Mr. Coates saysthat his party does not, share the fearof Labour coming into power, but sure-jly this is not correct of- "all his fol-! lowers.

HOUSE SURGEONS

LIVING-IN ASSESSMENT

BOARD'S DECISION

At a meeting of the Wellington Hos-pital Board yesterday thefollowing let-ter was read from the house surgeonstaff:—"The house surgeons regret thatthe members of the board havo takenthe view that by inserting an advertise-ment in tho newspapers the house sur-geons,wore attempting to 'bludgeon' theboard.. Such: is not the case. Tho ad-vertisement was inserted because a con-siderable nuinbor of the house stafffeel that with tho present existing con-ditions it would be advisable for themto seek positions elsewhere. They hadno intention of seeking the publicitywhich subsequent events, and1 the re-ported remarks.of tho members of theboard have given to what is, aftera11,,a matter of limited interest. '■■ Hav-ing, they hoped, adequately explainedtheir motives and action, they wouldagain respectfully beg the considera-tion of the board to the matters raised\n tho" original letter."

The chairman (Mr. IV Castle) movedthat the matter of the living-in accom-modation of :;the house surgeons be re-ferred^to the incoming board. Therewas a principle involved which shouldbo dealt with, preferably by the nowboard. Tho houso surgeons evidentlyrecognised that they had,made a mis-take in publishing the advertisement.However,"tho issues involved were suf-ficiently complex to justify further in-quiry.

Mrs. P. Fraser did not sec why thepresent board should not deal with thismatter.

Mr. C. M. Luko said ho was gladthat those .impetuous young men real-ised the gravity of tho mistake theyhad made. He maintained that therewas no reasonable ground for complaint''n regard to the comfort of their quar-ters, and the adequacy and variety oftheir meals. Ho repeated a statementhe had previously made—that if theyVerc disgruntled with regard to theirjonditionsthey had tho remedy in their->wn hands.

Mrs. M'Vicar remarked that she didnot liko the tone of the letter.

Mrs. P. Fraser said that if nursesor ward-maide had acted as the housesurgeons had dono they, would havebeen told to g»t out.

The chairman pointed out that therewere other officers of the hospital whowere affected by one of the questionswhich had 'been raised.

Mr. Helliwell suggosted-that.a memo-randum on tho question should be pre-pared by the present board for tho con-sideration of the incoming board.

The motion to refer the matter to theincoming board was negatived.

The chairman then moved that thovaluation of the living-in accommoda-tion bo valued at £100.

Mrs. P. Fraser seconded tho motion,which was agreed to.

The board also carried a resolutionthat further information be obtainedas to' cases of hardship arising underthe 10 per, cent, cut, and that shouldbe done before dealing.with individual«ases.

William King, a labourer, aged 67,pleaded guilty in the Magistrate'sCourt to-day -to three ' charges of in-decent assault, and was committed tothe Supremo Court for sentence. Mr.P. M'Carthy appeared for. the accused.

"NO ARMED TRUCE"TIMES TOO GRAVE

UNITED ACTION URGED

TO SAVE THE COUNTRY

The country's- economic iroubleswere discussed at considerable lengthby the Dominion executive of theNew Zealand Farmers' Union to-day,and it was agreed that it was impera-tive to exhaust every possible meansof preventing New Zealand fromdrifting into the same parlous plightas Australia.

The political situation in relation tothe economic position was dealt within committee, and no decision haxt beenreached when the luncheon interval wastaken.

In introducing the subject, the presi-'dent (Mr., "W. J. Poison, M.P.) saidthat he intended lo speak mainly as afarmer, and in his references to politicsfrom a non-party point of view. 'Hebelieved that the farming communityas a whole did not realise what waslikely to happen in the next fewmonths unless active steps were takento prevent it. They all knew whatwashappening in Australia, and he wouldsuggest that New Zealand was " notvery far ,behind her neighbour, andmight be confrontedwith the same posi-tion in, the near future. He assumedthat, as Britishers, they regarded it asunthinkable .that they should disre-gard their liabilities, and that ■ theywere determined to pay their debts andfa^cc the future courageously. ,

TWO ALTERNATIVES.There were, then, two alternatives,

either to economise to an extent un-dreamt of at. the present time, or' toaccept an additional load of taxationwhich might crush the farming com-munity altogether. Again, they mightcombine the two methods. Tho situa-tion was unparalleled, and it was essen-tial to devise plans for the relief of thefarming community1 in particular andthe country in general."Mr. Poison detailed the economics

brought about by Parliament at the re"-cent emergency session,, and said thatthe savings were clearly not enough.Since Mr. Forbes had.-'announced thatthero would bo' a deficit of five and ahalf million pounds-there had been in-dications that it might easily amountto six millions. Mr. Forbes had saidthat he- was making no provision forunemployment, and vnone for earth-quake relief,- and there was no ques-tion that a very considerable, sumwould be required for the latter pur-

pose. ' "SHORTAGES APPALLING.The shortages were appalling, con-

tinued Mr. Poison, and they meantthat the country would be faced witha situation at the end of twelvemonths that would^'overwhelm, thepeople unless concerted action. was

.taken. They mean probably thatmore drastic economies would 'haveto be undertaken in the near future,and a big increase in taxation.It seemed to him that taxation-shouldbo studied from a longer point of view

instead of adopting a make-shift planto tide the country over, a period. Thewhole question needed to be examinedwithout prejudice, with the idea of do-ing justice to all sections of the com-munity, and particularly to' ascertainwhat was necessary to carry on■ theprimary. industries. If they could notdo that it1 would be a poor look-outfor the country.

'.NOT A TIME FOR PARTY. ,"

' That is why I suggest that somearrangement between the parties in■ the House who have moderate.viewsand who are seeking to carry on alongt'ho tested lines of thev past shouldbe continued in this Parliament inorder to get us over this difficulty,Mr. Poison added.."Australia has wakened up to-day to

the necessity for doing that, but I amafraid she has wakened up too late.I say that this is no period for any poli-tical bargaining—(hear, hear)—and.that the' situation is much too ser,iousfor anything of that kind. I say' thattho fate of the country 'at large de-pends upon some action by the -mode-rate-thinking parties.:"I saw this morning that the Leaderof tho.Opposition, had made a very im-portant statement, that, he had ex-pressed a desire, while refusing tocoalesce into any National Government,to co-operate in getting any essentiallegislation through. I don't.know whe-ther that will do.

PARTY OR COUNTRY?- "I don't want to sec an armed. truceuntil the next elections, and then thethree parties fight again and confuse'tho elector.- I believe there are .verylittle grounds for disagreement betweenthe moderate parties. ... It .mußtbe no question of tho fate of any poli-tical party, but the fate of the country.I disagree with tho .idea that it wouldwreck any party to assist the country.I don't want to labour this question offusion, because I feel that as presidentof an entirely non-political body Imaybo treading upon dangerous ground, butI cannot help saying that I deprecateany thought of party at this time. -Iwant to see the fate of the country-thought of, in view of the most alarm-ing possibilities I'havo indicated."-

TAXATION AND' COSTS.The. question of taxation, Mr. Pol:

son continued, had to be considered notmorely from tho point~of view of pay-ing debts, but as to what would bringthe greatest good ,to the greatest num-ber, even if some hardship had to beinflicted on certain sections. The onlycourse was to develop the primary in-dustries; it was - impossible otherwiseto develop the secondary industries.Costs had to be kept down, and ifthey did anything with the secondaryindustries with the idea of relievingunemployment they were simply trans-ferring the burden from one set- ofshoulders to another. Any, scheme oftaxation must take as its basis thekeeping down of costs.' _

It was clear that there had to bemore taxation, and in that case the,farming community had to be on-thealert and put its case so clearly beforethe public and Parliament that therewas .no chance of its being furtherpushed under. It was clear that theywere in for a fairly lengthy periodof depression, and they had-to facefacts. Money had to bo found-to payfor the-country's social services and topay its debts, and they required somereadjustment of taxation that would befair toHho farmers. Unless they couldconvince the people how essential it wasto support the primary industries theywould be much longer in emerging fromtheir difficulties. His idea was thatsomething might be done by propa-ganda without delay instead of waitingfor the next elections. Undoubtedlyfresh taxation would bo imposed at'thenoxt session of Parliament.

SERVICES OF ECONOMISTS.It was suggested in tho course of

the subsequent discussion that the ser-.vices of economists might be securedto work with a small committeo in set-ting- out the position as affecting farm-ers. Among the matters dealt with weretic-rating of farm land, Government andlocal body expenditure, and ArbitrationCourt awards,. ■ h

"It is 'up to' this'union to ask whe-ther it is desirable to intervene in the

present political position and indicatewhat its feelings are,'' remarked a dele-gate. ' vA long and animated' discussion lookplace in committee un the suggestion. ,

GROUPING OF MODERATES.Tho following resolution was carried

when the meeting resumed:—In order to obtain stable govern-

ment at this critical time in theDominion's history, this executivefeels strongly-the necessity for agrouping in Parliament of the repre-

sentatives of the moderate sections-of the community so that their poli-tical strength may be unitedly di-rected to such measures as are neces-sary to restore prosperity to theDominion; and further, that thisunion deprecates any action by anyparty which may prejudice this re-sult at the next election.

FARMERS' UNION

DOMINION EXECUTIVE

The Dominion executive of tho NewZealand Farmers' Union met to-day,Mr. W. J. Poison, M.P., presiding.

The Prime Minister advised that thequestion- of the duty payable on lubri-cating oils would receive careful con-sideration on the first occasion onwhich the Customs'tariff was being re-vised. "With regard to the duty pay-abio. on sparo-parts for tractors, theposition was that whereas the duty hadbeen removed altogether on spare partsunder the British preferential tariff theduty under1 the general tariff had beenincreased only by .25 per cent., whichwas equivalent' to , three-fifths of onepenny for every & of the dutiablevalue of the goods.

"That .the provisions of the Boardof Trado Act be brought into force tobring retail prices ' into conformitywith the cost of'raw materials"'wasa remit which was commented upon ina letter from the Department of In-dustries and Commerce. It was stat-ed that the Minister had issued instruc-tions to the Department to watch closo-ly the cost of living and particularlythe margin between wholesale and re-tail-prices of the principal commodi-ties which entored largely- into thatcost. . Investigations' had already beenmado in "regard-to bread, flour, andmeat, and further investigations weroproceeding in relation to cement, pet-rol, and fish.' , . .. ,

HEAVY TRAFFIC FEES.Tho Commissioner of Transport' ad-

vised that-.the Transport Departmentwas at present carrying out an inves-tigation .into the whole subject of theincidence of motor taxation. Consid-eration would be given to tho sugges-tion that heavy traffic fees on farmers'lorries conveying milk"from farm tofactory should ,be abolished. ' j

The opinion was expressed that someIrelief in the direction! indicated was'very necessary. Both the cheese.andfruit industries were stated ,to beseriously affected by the fees.

In conversation with a "Post" re-presentative, the Minister said thatgreat progress had been made,with theNgakuru block in"*the.Eotorua district,and thel first section of it was nowavailable' for ■ grazing. The Govern-ment,would shortly decide whether itwould cut the block up into sections orgraze the land itself for the time be-ing.

STABLEFINANCECENTRAL BANK PROPOSALSIR 0. NIEMEYER'S REPORT

EXCHANGE QUESTIONWhen the International Financial

Conference met in Brussels in 1929one of the resolutions passed was that"in countries where there is no cen-. tral bank of issue one.should be estab-lished." In the last ten years the.ad-vice of the Brussels conference has beeawidely followed, new central bankshave been formed, and many existingbanks have been drastically overhauled.The reorganisation of the Reichsbankwas an integral part of the Dawesscheme; the countries that' previouslyformed part of the Austrian and'Rus-',sian schemes as .well as certain of th«Balkan States have established newcentral banks. Similarsteps have beeataken in some of the South American.States, and in South Africa, while thtcreation of areserve ba,nk in India has

" also been proposed. - In other countries,

" such as Belgium' and Norway, thoughthe previous structure remains, import-ant changes have been introduced. InAustralia the Commonwealth Bankcombines in certain respects the rol«. of a central 'bank and a'commercialbank, und this arrangement is not'con-sidered , altogether satisfactory^ Thuithe Tocommendation ■by Sir Otto Nie-meyer, of tho Bank of England, whorecently .investigated the banking, cur- ',ren'cy, and exchange problems of New

f Zealand, and whose report has arrivedi from England, that the Dominion should

establish a central bank- will come asno surprise to those who have followedtho trend of banking and currency in.■other' countries during the post-warperiod. His proposal to recast thewhole fabric of New Zealand banking■ simply means that he considers' thatthis country should step into line with,a world-wide movement.' The lack ofa central bank is exceptional in highlydeveloped commercial and industrialcountries. "DANGERS OF DECENTRALISATION

The banking system in Now Zealandat present, like<th»fc of Canada and thatof the-United States before 1907, is de-centralised, and as has been pointedout by Kisch.and Elkin in their book,.'.'Central Banks," there are seriousdrawbacks .to this systemj as .it in-volves a divided responsibility and alack of leadership. ~ Whether, there ■isa gold standard or whether there isnot, the control of the. credit and' ■monetary systom involves the solutioaof many problems of policy and de-tailed administration^ But if '.theraarc many issuing authorities, there can-not be one controlling force to directthe monetary policy of1 the country,and this is bound to be a source o£weakness, especially at a time of seri-ous crisis, when a well-devised and co«herent plan of. action is essential. ■One would ,not say. that our position.'is analogous to that of the UnitedStates during the economic. crisis of1907, but there ,is no harm in illustrat-ing theposition there at that time, be«cause the New Zealand system 'to-day;has many points of similarity. Therewas iii the United States1 at that timea large^number of national banks, each,with thekright of note issue, but theirinterests were predominantly local, andthero was little co-operation betweea*them (New ■ Zealand,,, of course)has an'- association, oih its banks).The leadership that alone could'have dealt', effectively with the.problems of that crisis were lacking,and one aspect of this lack of leader-ship was seen in the handling of th»gold reserves., There was at that timemore' 'gold ■in the ' United Statesthan in any other country in thoworld, but each bank clung jealously;to* its own holdings. The gold wasconsequently ineffective since it wasscattered, and could not- be brought tobear at the points at which it was mostneeded. The concentration of reservesand the control of the money market,imperative for-' the mitigation and■ avoidance of a financial crisis, demand; a central oy reserve banking organisa-tion. Such' an organisation standingl "behind the commercial banks is able,by use of the reserves held against thecontingency of a crisis, to bring sup-port to, any threatened'point and .toavert tho loss of confidence, the con-■ tiniiance of which is necessary,for thestability of any"' credit system. Thiswas a conclusion that the United Statesauthorities drew, from th'f experienceof 1907, and the Federal Reserve sys-tem was devised in order to preventthe repetition of such a-,catastrophe.In adopting this system America simply,followed tho banking technique of Eng-land, whore the Bank of England hadlong been the central bank of GreafcBritain. ' ' .! DUTIES AND FUNCTIONS.] In' view, of the, fact that Englandl. has led (the world in banking tech*i nique, ■ and- that Sic Otto ' Niemoyer^.who is -now recommending a change ofl

system for New tZealand, is connected;with the Bank of. England, it is in*toresting to note the thirteen proposiitions laid down by Sif Ernest Harvey,-Comptroller of the■ Bank of England^concerning the- functions and duties 6|■central banks. These' are:— '.(1) A central bank should, possesithe exclusive right of note issue.

(2) A central bank in its managementand policy should be free from Gov-ernment control and the influence.ofpolitics.

(3) A central bank should be'en«trusted with the entire banking busi-ness of its own country.. (4) A central bank should be thebanker -of the trading banks and shouldact'as a settling agent for clearing dif«ferences between-such banks.

(5) A central bank should not ordin*arilyl compete with the trading■bank*-for. general banking business. .

(6) A central bank should ensure tfthe public the provision of adequate

" banking facilities on reasonable term*,. (7) A central bank should not tak^moneys at-interest on its own account(8) -A central bank should'qu'ote pub*,licly thorate at which.it is prepared t»discount approved bills, and should pu(jjilish at regular and. frequent interval^a,clear statement of its position.

(9) The assets of the. central bahK-sliould be of the most liquid character;possible.' ;

(10) A'central bank should not draw;or accept bills payable otherwise thaaon demand. ' ' -(11) A central bank should- nofc emgage in a general exchange business ,on!- its own account for the purpose vo£earning profits.'

(12) A central bank should not en-gage in trade, or have any interest ma-ny- commercial, 'industrial, of othei;undertaking.

(13) A central bank should haven*branch outside its own. country, butmay have agencies abroad.1 AUSTRALIAN INFLUENCE.

So far, Sir Otto Niemeyer 's reporthas not .been considered', by the Gov-ernment/but it would appear that b'nei■ of tho first functions of the. bank willbe to stabilise the exchange rate be-tween' England and New Zealand. Aspointed out by Professor Murnhy .in,his "Outlines of Economics," fonr ofthe six banks operating' in New Zea-land are branches of Australian banks,and "tho fact that so much 'oljour banking business is done in Aus-tralian banks makes the Dominionsomewhat sensitive to financial diffi-culties arising in Australia." This dif-

(ficulty could be got over by the estab-lishment of a gold exchange standard,and it may be taken for granted thaithis will be the next step after tin!establishment of'tho bank.

ARCHITECT'S GRIEVANCECASE AT SUPREME .COURT "-,,!

A sequel to actions taken by Oscar'Albert Jorgeusen," an architect," lastDecember was brieflyventilated,'in theSupreme Court'this morning when Jor-gensen claimed from Patrick. BulkleyFitzherbert, barrister' and solicitor(who acted for him in tho ' previouslitigation), £74 he alleged counsel had ,wrongfully withheld 'from, hi*., £;IQO ,for legal and other expenses, and £750general1 damages, making a total of£924. In a, statement of defence' the .defendant denied the allegations maflaagainst him and ajlcged that Jorgen- Isen was in debt to him. ' ; ',1

His Honour Mr. .Justice Eeed- in.* 7formed Jorgenseu that the proceedingsho had taken, were wrongly Conceived, ,and iofcried tho wholp matter, to th« .Registrar dor the taking and taxation,of accounts as between the plaintiff and'defendant. " " . 'Jorgensen, who appeared in < person,said ho had no funds to employ coun-sed to appear on his behalf, and. asked <for the indulgence of his Honour andtif nccessaiy, his Honour's guidance.

His Honour said ho had read thestatement of claim and pointed out toJorgensen that he was not entitled todamages for non-payment of money.1All that he was entitled to recover, wasinterest. " / ' ,

Jorgensen contended that he had suf-fered great injustice at'the hands ofthe defendant.

His Honour pointed out that therowere two sides to every story. Tli*explanation given by tho defendant ap- -pearcd to account for everything. < Tha "plaintiff's proper procedure -"was to ap-ply for an order, that proper' bills ofcosts bo rendered to him. Tho matter,would then bo referred to the Begistr:**to take accounts.

Mr. J. D. Willis, who appeared fpdthe defendant, said that his instru^ 'tions ,wecc that accounts and bills o4costs had already been supplied to tht»plaintiff..' Gross, allegations had.bee*. 'made against tho defendant upon,,whorj»a certain amount of odium, had. bec^j .east. Tho defendant felt his positionvery keenly, and had, given definiteinstructions, to waive, subject1' to th(|consent o£ his Honour, any iiregularjfrtics in tho plaintiff's method of prdl .ccdurc. The defendant was anxiou^that all accounts and statements pos#siblc should be placed before tho Courfll ■The defendant claimed that there wada balance of 'just over £100 due tihint by the- plaintiff. ...

BELGIUM A MARKET

■ OUTLET FOR BUTTER

WHY NOT NEW ZEALAND ?

M. A. Nihotte, Belgian Consul for NewZealand, has been iri/c'stigating the possi-bilities of Belgium as a market for NewZealand produce, and especially'for butter.In-.-i928 Belgimn^was classed among theliulter-cxporting countries. To-day, how-ever, the position, is changed, and Bel-gium is a large importer. In fact, itcomes next after England and Germany.England is undeniably the largest im-porter of butter in the world, purchasing

' more than '3,000.000- -quintals, or 1001b,:annually, antl Germany is next with1,300,000 quintals. ,

"For the year just ended, 1930, JU.Nihotte reports, "Belgium's importationsof .butter'amounted, to a value ot2oj-

-789,000 francs—approximately i,1,4j0,JJ.J.'■ Compared with the preceding year the ilit-

ference is ouormous, for in. 1929 the: valueof the imports of butter was only 130,45a,----000 francs-aboiit ■ £745,457. Thereiore it

' is not very astonishing that butter shouldarrive' from different foreign . countries.Denmark and Holland are the principalsuppliers to Belgium, and the quantities mkilos (1 kilo-equals 2.201b) sold by thosecountries for'each month during 1930 wasas follows: ~ 1Denmark. Holland.Afonth 'Kilos. ■ Kilos.jK ... 417,000 272,000m.T ' ' . ' 288 000 " 346,600Anrl "■'". '197,400 337,200"uav ' ' .... 310,700 ■ -335,700fuhe [-I ...;.-..--328,700 328,200''r"L ."

""life04total "imports from other coun-tries have also increased considerably,lowing an amount of' 1,701,893 kilos for1930 against .132,784;kilos in 1929. Amongthese other countries particular mentionshould-be made'of Lithuania, ArgentineRepublic, Finland,' Poland, and listhoma.Altogether, then/it is clear-that Belgiumis .becoming an important : market .forforeign butter. ,Why should not NewZealand participate in., this trade?

FULL LATE RATES

THE WOOL MARKET

MARCH SALE. REVIEW

(Received Gth May, 10 a.m.)LONDON, sth May.

Total catalogues of wool offered to-daywere 11,281) bales, including 5669 bales ofNew Zealand. About 5630 bales were sold.There was a gooil^,selection of greasymerinos and a large offering of mediumand faulty scoured wools, but a poor selec-tion of New Zealand wools. "1 Good general competition characterisedthe sale, and full late rates -were main-tained.

New Zealand greasy crossbreds,"Pobaiia," sold at 7%d to 7d. per lb. .In its review of the London March sales,the "Yorkshire Post" observed that theimportant point to note wan that thecheck to one of the most serious slumpscvur experienced in the ■world's wooltrade was given at the London wool sales,and not in Australia. Moreover, it wasbrought about largely by the sagacity ofLondon wool brokers who-sensed that thedownward movement was being pressedunduly, and who declined to throw theproperty of their clients to the ''bears.''The ''Post" holds that ' "their actionha's been amply justified, and it isto London wool brokers that wool-growers . are .indebted for the substan-tially higher prices they are to-day,receiving for their raw material and thosewho have wool still to sell in London willget far better prices than those who soldearlier in the season at the wool sales inAustralia. London wool sales- and Lon-don wool brokers'have given almost ef-fective reply' to their critics in Sydney."

Messrs: . Dalgety and Company, report,London, .sth May:—"London wool; salescontinue active,,but lately reported ratesbarely maintained for merinos and croes-breds. No quotable change, as comparedwith opening'rates." " ,.Messrs. Levin and Co., Ltd.', have re-

HERE AND THEREQueen's Great-niece. '."'.'"*' ■■ >""■■-■,"'■■

Neither tlio Queen nor any menibcrof the audience who saw the VictorianCourt ..matinee at tho Cambridge Thea-tre, London, enjoyed it inoro than1 the70 boys and girls who took part in it(states the "Daily Mail"). Most ofthem impersonated ancestors and an-cestresses. A far more important thingto their childish minds, however, wasthe fact that dressing up for their partsincluded the wearing of family jewels,heirloom lace, and, in the case of LadyMary Cambridge, the Queen's great-niece,a Court gownmade from a lengthof rich satin brocade > worn by thefirst Marchioness of Cambridge whenshe made her ciirtsy! at Queen Vic-toria's Court. Lady Mary imperson-ated Queen Victoria, -ahdj in additionto a small diamond coronet andbrooches, wore a pendant lent by QueenMary. Lady Mary Stewart, in thopavfc of the third Marquis of London-derry, Gold Stick-iu-Waiting to QueenVictoria, wore old lace ruffles whichhad been in Lord Londonderry's fam-ily for generations.Nursing Division. ■> ' .

An interesting development of theWellington Nursing Division of St. JohnAmbulance Association is theformationof a "cadet division," with Mrs. .Bakeras'■superintendent. This division hasbean maderesponsible for attendance atthe following football grounds: BasinBeserve, Kelburn Park, and AndersonPark. The necessary and good workof the nursing divisions- on ' publicgrounds and occasions is well known,audit is expected that the-new divisionwill be another asset. There was/an;ood attendance at the recent fortnight-ly' meeting, those in charge being NursesCollins, ,Bettauy, and Shepherd. .Aninvitation had teen sent to all membersof the various divisions to be present,and there was a number of interestedpeople present. The evening was a par-ticularly instructive one, as tho nurseshad arranged for the attendance of someof their patients, and those presentwere shown " the. actual dressings ap-plied. The next item was the bed-side attention to a helpless patient.Questions were asked and answered,and tho meeting closed with a heartyvote of thanks to the nurses for theinteresting and instructive evening.Women's Social Work.

A welcome was extended to ..Lieut.-Colonel A. Swain, the newly appointedwomen's social-secretary for Now Zea-land, at.a meeting hold last eveningat the Salvation Army Citadel," Vivianstreet. Commissioner Cunningham pre-sided. Colonel Swain, who arrived yes-terday from Sydney, spoke of her ex-periences in. women's' social work inEngland and Australia, and said thatshe would devoto herself to" tho taskoi! casing social problems in New Zea-land. Other speakers wero Dr. Platts-Mills, M.8., Miss M'Lean, M.A. (prosi-dent of the Women's Social ProgressAssociation), Mrs. A. M<Vicar, J.P.,and Field-Major Simpson (matron'ofthe' Wellington. Maternity Hospital).Mrs. Brigadier Glover was also accord-ed a welcome on her return from Eng-land. The children from the OwenStreet Homo sang a song of welcome,and the cadets and the headquarters 1

quartet sang several songs.Younger Debutantes.

Mayfair mothers arc discussing withsome zest just now the question of thecorrect age for the presentation oftheir debutante daughters (says a Lon-don writer). As the applications to at-tend the 1931 Courts aro now iv thehands of.the Lord Chamberlain, womenwho are presenting daughters aro ableto ascertain what are the views oi theirfriends iv this matter. They find thattho greatest diversity of opinion exists.Eighteen was tit one timo 'accepted asthe correct ago, nnd it is still lookedon as the ideal by a large number ofwomen :iu the social world. The ten-dency at present is to present girls

earlier than was done in their mothers'day, but there is no doubt that tlic ideaof the 17-yoar-old debutante meets withmuch criticism . 'Youth, however, isin demand to-day, and political andcharitable activities are beginning tomake their demands on a groat manygirls of 17 to 18 years old, and sonicparents feel that modern, life is so fullof diverse interests that, they have voright to hold their girls back too long.Junior Clubs.

There is a growing inclination amongyoung girls to. become clubwomen atan unusually early ago (states a Lon-don writer).. One of the most famouswomen's clubs in St. . James's " hasdoubled "its membership of girls ofeighteen..' ' Another' has arranged aspecial annexe for its under-tweritymembers, who use the club a great dealfor small entertainments. A rigid ruleenforced by the juniors is that'no sen-ior member, may enter these precinctswithout permission! Seventeen youth-ful members of the Monkey Cluo.aroinvading Italy and Greece next monthto study art.- These. aesthetic "Mon-keys," whose ages" range from-seven-teen to twenty-two, will include MissNagai, the daughter of the. JapaneseAmbassador at Brussels. They are go-ing to Florence first, . motoring toRome, going on to Athens, and thencoback to Corfu to' enjoy bathing' partiesas a break from more educational, ac-tivities. Also, as one of. them—MissGriselda Joynson-Hicks—stated, .-theywill contrive to bo in Venice for theearly Lido season. '-."-.-■Afternoon Party; ' .." "A pleasant bridge and 500 afternoonwas given?, recently by Mrs.George M'Gill, and her daughter, Mrs.Walker, at the pavilion of the MountVictoria Croquet Club, as a result of.which the funds of the club will bene-fit considerably. Members and friendsenjoyod the ganies, and the delicioustea of savouries and sw.eets -which wereprovided. The winners of the gameswere Mosdanics Cusaek, Pearson, Camp-boll, and Buckmastor," who receivedhandsome gifts.. At the conclusion ofa happy afternoon, a hearty vote, ofthanks was accorded to Mrs. M'Gill andMrs. Walker.': >". ~ . 'G-love Novelties.

Two interesting', speakers are antici-pated with much pleasure at the nextmeeting-of tho Seatoun branch of theWomen's Social Progress Movement.Miss Mary Richmond -will .apeak on"What is Progress?" and Mrs^ Rob-ert Blair on "Outstanding Women IHavo Met." Both ladies are- excellentspeakers, and hays travelled j wid.ely,and the membors'may.anticipate some-thing more .than ordinarily interesting.Youngest Leading Xadyv '■A 19-years old. actress, Miss Mar-garetta Scott, took up the part ofOphelia in the Haymarkct Theatre pro-duction of "Hamlet," when Miss FayCompton had, to leave, the cast to ro-hoarso for a new play (states the"Daily Mail.'x') Mr. Horace Watson,who gave Miss Scott this opportunity,stated that she would.be the youngestactress to play this difficult role in the'professional London run of "Hamlet."Shehad had less than threo years' stageexperience. Shewas previously appear-ing as the Player Queen in the all-star"Hamlet" revival "I did the Opheliamad scene at one performance while Iwas at thoRoyal Academy, of DramaticArt," said Miss Scott. "Every bud-ding actress, I suppose, manages to' dothat once while sho is studying! Butit is a verybig jumpfrom that to play-ing the whole part—and I.have now gotthe. jumps, especially as I watch MissCompton's performance getting bettereach day!" Miss Scott is the young-est leading actress playing in the WestEnd.Dogs' Restaurant.

"Dogs' dinners. Twopence for smallones. Threepence tho large ones. Four-penco tho outsizes." This is the sub-stance of a placard displayed outsidea restaurant opened by Mrs. Hugh Gil-lilan, sister ,of Viscount Scarsdale, inKing's.road, Chelsea, S.W. (states the"Daily Mail"). When. '; a reportervisited; the restaurant recently Mrs.Gillilan showed him a sereened-offi cor-ner where daily she takes her custom-ers' dogs to dinner. And they getonly' the best English food. Brownbread, raw meat, potatoes, and othervegetables—these are the chief consti-tuents of a dog's dinner in the restau-rant. "But," she said, "there are somemistresses who like their dogs to eatjust what they are having themselves,and so we serve them with a cut .off ajoint."' ': . .■' ■Training Sunday School Teachers. .

The teaching of religion is a mostimportant matter, and in the old daysit was rather haphazard, .quite youngteachers being entrusted with the work,with only a weekly class .to preparethemfor the work on Sunday.. A move-ment has been inaugurated under theauspices of the Wellington SundaySchool Union by means of which theRev. Robert Blair, M.A., Ed.M.,M.R.E., 8.D., F.R.G.S., and Mrs. Rob-ert Blair, M-R-E., will give instructionto Sunday school teachers, enablingtheir work to be more efficient and;helpfuK The syllabus presented is . avery fine and comprehensive one/ andshould interest the older isoople ..asstudents, as'well as the younger oneswho are carrying out the work in theSunday schools.A Successful Dance.

Tho pleasant dances arranged by theParents' Association, of Scots' College,which were such a success last year,have been recommenced, the first ofthe season being held in tho schoolgymnasium recently. The dancingroom was brightly decorated' by theboys, and there were numerous guests,who all had a very enjoyable evening.Tho ladies' committee attended to thosupper, which was excollent, and therewas an; augmented orchestra whichgave much satisfaction.

RUGBY TRANSFERS

IS PRACTICE ABUSED?

"TIME TO CALL A HALT

According to the chairman of theIManagement Committee of the Welling-ton Bugby Union (Mr. J. Prendeville)over 100 players have already been grantedtransfers from one club to another thisseason, a further big batch o£ applica-tions being dealt with at the weekly meet-ing of the committee last night. Mr.Prendeville said he considered it was nowtime to call a halt; if the players had notyet decided which club they were goingto play for they should be compelled tostand over till next season.■ Other speakers said that players had- been allowed transfers so far, and otherswould expect the same treatment.

'" Mr.',A. J.:Griffiths: "It is going too farnow, 'and there is too much "touting." Assoon as a player is left out of a team otherclubs are after him."

Mr. G. P. Jackson raided the questionof players seeking to be transferred froma city club to a Hutt Valley Club, orvice versa, but Mr. H. Murphy consider-ed that even in such cases transfers shouldnot be granted-'at this, stage of the sea-

Mr. H. D. Morgan said that the clubshad the remedy in their own hands, andcould refuse to approve of transfers ifthey wished, and the matter was left tothe discretion of the clubs.■ The following were granted transfers:—G. M'Kegney, Petone to Upper Hutt; 1.A Wallace, Oriental to Mirarnar; T. H.Nixon, Wellington to Petone; J. L. Sel-wood, Johnsonville to Petone; W. H. A.Jones,.Moera to Hutt; E. C. Bishop, Mel-rose to, Wellington; L. K. Mailman, OldBoys toBerhampore; G. Phillips, Orientalto Miramar; C. Parfitt, Melrose to Mira-mar; G. M'Nab, Athletic to Miramar; V.'A. Bowyer, Kaiwarra to Athletic; J. Cob-ham, Selwyn to Petone; M. Jakeman,Poneke;to Petone; E. B. Martin, Selwynto Eastbourne; D. M. B. Terris, Moera toHutt;'B. L. Corkin, Moera to UpperHutt;D. C. M'lntosh, Karori to Old Boys;W.: Nolan, Oriental^to Marist; J. Parker,Upper Hutt to Lower Hutt; L. G. Green-wood, Upper Hutt to St. Patrick's OldBoys.

COULSTON FOR HUTT.E.Coulston, the former Petone hooker,

notified the union that he will be playingfor: the :Hutt.-Club, this season.

' -Additional replies received to the com-mittee's circular to the clubs regarding theproposal to play a series of senior gameson the King's Birthday mostly favouredthe" idea. Mr. Prendeville stated thatowing to.a mistake with regard to dates,Southland had been set downto play Wel-lington on a Saturday, and consequentlyanother club day had been lost.

On the motion of Mr. H. Murphy itwas decided that season tickets will ad-mit their holders to the Hutt and Petonegrounds in addition to Athletic Park. .A suggestion was received from ". theUpper Hutt Club that matches betweenthe suburban senior B teams should beplayed on the club's home grounds, in-stead ofon neutral grounds. It was point-ed out that most of the clubs met twiceeach season. The views of the senior Bclubs' are to be obtained on the matter.

The Johnsonville Club wrote asking theunion to reconsider its decision to aban-don the eighth grade, in which the clubhad prepared to enter a team. Althoughno grounds were available in the citysuburban grounds could bo used.

In reply, the committee regretted_thatit was unable to reconsider its decision,and stated further that the suburbangrounds were too scattered to be used forthe eighth grade matches.

Mr. U. P. Calcinai referred to the dan-ger to players from the posts along theEastbourne ground erected to keep thecrowd clear of the play area, and the clubis to be asked to have the posts paddedor removed.

The question of whether it was compul-sory for,games on charge_ grounds to beplayed in two forty-five-minute spells wasraised by Major T. J. King, who said thatthe Hutt-Athletic game on Saturday was. played in two 40-minute spells. Miv.Mur-

phy stated that the, arrangement wasagreed to by the captains. In reply toMr. 11. D. Morgan, 'Mr. Prendeville saidthat he had no doubt that the union hadthe power to fix tho time for matches,under its rules for club contests, althoughhe agreed with other speakers that therewould be no trouble if shorter spells wereplayed on wet days. It was decided toadhere to the former custom of havinggames' on charge grounds played iii 45----minute spells. .;.

YOUTH AND MUSICPLEA FOR THE BEST

"History shows that a country passesthrough three stages," remarked Mr.John Bishop, when addressing membersof the Botary. Club at their luncheonyesterday on "Music for Youth." "Thefirst *is ' the pioneering stage. Thencomes the stage of -commercialisation1—of making money, and, thirdly, comesthe stage when energies and interestsare turned towards higher things, to-wards culture. New Zealand, it seemsto me, is in the second stage,but thereare already many who are looking be-yond to tUte third stage."

The question was what were our chil-dren being given, \not what were theygetting. It was our duty to give tothem, to make art as accessible asarithmetic or football. Iri this respectgreat work "was; being done in theschool by the .Director of Music inSchools (Mr. E. .Douglas Tayler), butthe full result might not be apparentfor another .ten years. "Let us shakeourselves out of our apathy towardsart and see that: we give the best wecan to our children." . '. .

Mechanical music had come to stay,said Mr. Bishop, but, being easy touse, i it; was...easy to .abuse. Children,should riot lie given bad records withwhich. to amuse themselves; the bestwas not too good for them. Children'should be given an opportunity of thesight of an artist and of an instrument,thus stimulating interest and imagina-tion. But .tho trouble was that so fewconcerts were suitable for them to at-tend.. The., Juvenile1 Concert League,however,, hopeel to remedy this by giv-ing concerts suitable for children.1Therewould be three this year, with perhapssix or twelve in the following years."There are 250 music teachers in Wel-lington, turning pupils out at a greatrate every year," said Mr. Bishop. "Wel-lington is already a very musical city:I know of no other of its size support-ing so many musical organisations. Butit is riot through;those or the multi-plicity of, teachers that, we, shall be-come a really musical community. Thatwill not be achieved unless the childrenare taught to listen."

Mr. Bishop concluded with an earnestplea that parents should strive to givetheir children of'the best in the arts,and only, the best. ; ,; ■~'

WEATHER REPORTS

SERVICE TO SHIPPINGCESSATION CRITICISED

Strong criticism of tho Govorniuent's

' suspension of-broadcasting weather re-J

■ vPorta to shipping was mado by Mr. G.<J. G. Watson yestorday in tho courso iof the Magisterial inquiry into tho mis-hap to the Port Hobart.

When addressing the Court, Mr. Wat-son, who appeared for the owners ofthe ship, said that there was only oneaspect of the case he desired to referto. That was the- action of the NqwZealand Government in ceasing to trans-mit daily weather reports. In this par-ticular case, on the two days.prior; tothe accide.nt, one of the worst norther-ly gales ever^ experienced had raged inthe vicinity of Cook Strait, and no-

■ where ■ else. Tho master of the PortHobart, when coming down the coast,did not know this, but had he knownit lie might well have reasonably expect-ed abnormal tidal conditions. As a mar-iner he had been deprived of an'aid tonavigation, which he should reasonablyhave expected from the Government.

The Government, counsel said, hadceased rendering the service some timeago on the ground of economy, and hadgiven for its justification that the wea-.thor reports were broadcast locally each. evening from 2YA. As far as ship mas-ters wftre concerned, that.was useless,because, firstly, the operators were notsupposed to bo on the 2YA wave-lengthat all, and, secondly, it was impossiblefor them to take a long-hand transcriptof a broadcast over the air. It was ob-> viously not a suitable replacement of.tho service that had been, given pre-viously, and counsel said he had num-

AN ACTIVE THIEF

YOUTH IN TROUBLE

On Mondayafternoon a workman sawtwo youths leaving the men's dressing-rooni of tho New Zealand Breweries'factory in Molesworth street. Theboys were detained, and one, Alan jTo-acph Samuel Flanagan, a, labourer,aged IS, appeared before Mr E. Pago,S.M., to-day at the Magistrate's Court.He pleaded guilty to stealing £5 7s 6d,the property of Michael Collins.

Sub-Inspector Waid! said that afterthe boys had been detained, the work-man who had-seen them found some ofhis clothes lying on the floor of thedressing-room, .and that £5 7s Gd wasmissing from the pockets. A smallsum. of money was found on the/ac-

' cused, but he said he had thrown therest in a pile of barley. Subsoquent-ly the barley was searched and £4 wasrecovered. Some money had yet to

rbe recovered, but it waa possible thatit was still in the barley. Tho dress-ing-room was some distance from thestreet, continued tho Sub-Inspector, anSon other occasions money had beenmissed by tho workmen. The... ac-cused was before the Children's Courttwice in 1928, and the police would re-commend a period of detention in aBorstal institution. The accused andhis brother, who had come from Aus-tralia, were regarded as yory activethieves. .''■:' . \

The accused's mother asked the Mag-,istrate to give her son another chanceas she was endeavouring to take himback to Australia. ,

Sub-Inspector Ward: "On each occa-sion the boys have come before theCourt it has always been isaidthat theywere to be taken back to Australia.One of the Magistrates expressed a.doubt as to the sincerity of the.par-ent's offer."

Mr. Page: "I am not prepared togive him, another chance in tho wayyou want it,but I am prepared to grant

.■a remand for a fortnight to sec if youcan get him to Australia."

A letter was received from the _Raro-tonga Bowling. Club extending an invita-tion, to members o£ Wellington bowlingclubs to visit the Rarotonga green if atany time they should be at Rarotonga,either as passeiigdrs on the mail boats, oras visitors stayingfor a time on the island.Tho bowling season in Earotonga com-menced in April, and continued, practi-cally throughout the whole year exceptfar a week or two in January or Pebru-ny,-when the green was top-dressed. Ar-rangements had been made by which alocal rink could be got together at shortnotice to play a rink comprising passeng-ers off the mail boats. One or two play-ers could also have a game arranged.

Tho secretary of the New ZealandBowling Association advised that thecouncil had received a cordial invitationfor a- representative party of New Zea-land bowlers to take part in the Austral-ian bowling carnival, to be held in Bris-bane, commencing 24th August, 1931.

A recommendation was made to theDominion Council to ' invite Mr. MarcusMarks', to be one of the New Zealand dele-gates to the International Bowling Board,which, meets in London in. July... ;It was decided to support; the Christ-church nominees for the positionsl of Dom-inion president and secretary respective-ly. ■ Mr-.-H; G.

SCOUT NOTES(By 8.A.M.) 'The monthly meeting of. the MastertonGroup Committee was held in the den

last Wednesday evening, 29th April, whenthere were present the president (theKov. E. J. Rich), in the chair, the Dis:trict Commissioner (the Rev. E. M'Levie),District Cubmaster, D. Hubbard, Cub-inaster C. M. Robinson, A.C.M.'s M'Ewenand Dillon, Mesdames L.S. Nichol, H.W. Thompson, C. Martin, Messrs. CM.Stroute, W. Clarke, H. W. Thompson,A. M.Samson, G. Thomas, J. Ninnes, andJ. C. Robinson (secretary). The newsof the resignation of Sir Alfred Robin,the Metropolitan Commissioner, was re-ceived with great regret, but satisfactionwas expressed at the fact that he wouldatill pay visits in the capacity of honoraryMetropolitan Commissioner. Congratula-tions Were also offered to the 'new Metro-politan Commissioner (Mr. H. Amos),and his first visit in that capacity is be-ing locked forward, to.

Thursday, 23rd April, being St. George'sDay (patron saint of Scouts) was observedwith due solemnity. A number of Scout-ers and Scouts slept in the den the previ-ous night, and in the early morning (23rd)officers and Semite made their CorporateCommunionin St. George's Chapel beforework, and in the evening a Scouts' Ownwas. held. This was taken by the ladsthemselves, various leaders taking thoprayers and lesson. In.response to theChief'swish in the "Scouter," members ofthe local group and in other parts of theWairarapa solemnly reaffirmed their Scoutpromise. ~ . ,

At the invitation of the R.S.A., allsections of the group attended the publicservice at the Soldiers' Memorial on An-zac: Day. A; laurel wreath in the formof the Scout emblem—the fleur de lys—made, by tho. lads themselves,, was, placedat the foot of"the Soldiers' Memorial aaa tribute from the Cubs, Scouts, andRovers. '" At the invitation of the Commissionerfor.Manawatu the D.C. conducted the in-vestiture of the Rover crew at Pahiatna,and the crew was officially formed dur-ing the last week. It was a most success-ful evening in every way.

Greytown has suffered a very great loss1in the departure . for Wanganui of theNorrie family. Troop Leader Norrie hascarried on under great difficulties when itwas impossible to find a Scouter to takecharge of the 'troop there. The troopheld a special function last week, whenthe committee land the lads presented.Troop Leader Mprrie with handsome pre-sents as tokens at their gratitude and goodwishes.1 Amongst those present to showtheir appreciation of what the Norriefamily have done for .Greytown Scoutingwere the D.C, Mr. J. W. Barnard, chair-man of the Troop. Committee, who madethe presentation, Mr. J. Roche, secre-tary, and members of the committee andparents. Patrol Leader Harwood Norrieand Cub Hudson Norrie > also receivedgifts and - good wishes from the troop.Troop Leader Anker, who has been withthe troop since its inception, will carryon in the meantime. It has just beenannounced that Mr. J. Roche, secretary,has been transferred to Lower Hutt.Poorold Greytown! It isf almost a proverb inGreytown that when, anyone good takesup Scouting there he is always movedaway.. .

Wairarapa were sorry they did not havethe Petone Group as their guesta in thedistrict at Easter, owing to the wetweather. .Petone have bad luck when itrains. They know what if; is like to beflooded out, and they would not risk it atEaster. Perhaps they had better all jointhe Sea Scouts. ' . ' i

Patrol Leader Merrie received his first-grade all-round cord at the RosteneathGroup last Tuesday, and service starswere presented. to Patrol Leader Huttonand Scout Knight! '. The "Wood Badge" course at Wirihanawas brought to a successful close lastSunday night, the period covering thehike. Altogether the course, which in-cluded the Easter holidays, and the fourfollowing week-ends, although of a stren-uous nature,' was thoroughly enjoyed bythe.sixteen candidates; who took part.

CUT THIS OUT.

OLD ENGLISH PREPARATION FOBCATABRBjCATARRHAL DEAFNESS, :-r 'AND HEAD NOISES.

■": .-.-.lf--..you know someone who is troubled■with head noises, or catarrhal doafruss,cut out this paragraph, and hand it tothem, and you mayhave been the meansof saving some poor sufferer perhapsfrom total deafness. We believe thatcatarrh, catarrhal deafness, head noises,etc.,- are>;caused by constitutional dis-ease, and that salves, sprays, inhalers,otc, merely i temporise with the coin- >plaint, and seldom, if ever, give per-manent relief. This being so,' muchtinio has been spent in perfecting a.pure, gentle, yet effective tonic thatshould quickly dispel all traces of thecatarrhal poison from the system. Theeffective prescription -which was even-tually ..formulated is given below inan understandable form, so that any-one can use it in their own home atlittle expense.

Secure from your chemist a one-ouncephial of Parmint (Double Strength).Take this home and add to it i pint ofhot water and -Jib of granulated crys-tal sugar; stir until dissolved. Takeone tablespoonful four times a day., ;

The first dose should begin to re-lieve the distressing head noises, head-ache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc.",while the hearing should rapidly return,as the system is. invigorated by thetonic action of the treatment.' _,Lossof smell and mucus dropping in thoback of the throat are other symptoms.that show the* presence of catarrhalpoison and which are often overcomeby this efficacious treatment. If nearly00 por cent. 0f.... all oar troubles aredirectly caused'by catarrh, there must'lie many people whoso hearing may berestored by this simple homo treatment.

Every yierson who is troubled withhead n,oises, catarrhal deafness, orcatarrh in. any form should give thismixture a trial.—Advt.

IN STARRY SKIES"{jSOME TELESCOPES IN NEW■""V ZEALAND

■:;::■ ::;r(By «'Omega Centauri.'*) "..

..'.'..' ..Although New Zealand does not yet■'-possess.'.a really great telescope, it hasa: "number of enthusiastic' amateur ob-

..seryers.. who are making good use of"smaller instruments. It is probable'"also.: that there are some "telescopes(jying. idle. The New Zealand Astro-Domical Society is collecting informa-tion.with a- view of making as complete'a eatalcigue as possible of.all the astro-ibiiiical instrumonts in the country. Itds:.hoped that those who havo not yet"<lone. so will give to tho society as full;an! account as possible of their equip-

>mcnt, .and of the way in which it is.teing used. In the event of a Novaor.-a comet appearing, it is always im-

■■Jportant to get as many early observa-tions as possible. If any telescopes aro..lying idle,- their possessors are urgedito. present them to the S.S.S., so that

..they., may be lout to branches of tho/society in schools or country districts..Already three telescopes have been pre-sented, and these have been extremelyliseful in arousing scientific interest.

of the reflecting telescopes in NewZealand; were made by the late Mr. J.T. Ward, of Wanganui, whose earlyfleath. was a great loss to science inthis country. One fine 20-inch mirror is.now in Wellington; and it is hoped that■it-will be mounted for use in the pro-jected.Carter Observatory. Mr. R. A.M'lntosh has a 14-inch, reflector my-

y stalled in his private observatory atEpsom, Auckland, Vhich he uses for

observations of planets, comets, nebu-lae, and clusters, and also for photo-graphic work. The roof of the observa-tory runs right off: over a workshop anddark room, and leaves tho telescopearid:::observor open to tho sky. Mr.|M'lntosh is Director of tho Meteor Sec-'tion'of the N.Z.A.S., which is doingmost valuable work. Another excellent12-inch-'reflector by Mr. Ward is in usety the Astronomical Society in Dun-edin. Mr. P. O'Doa, of Hawera, lias aiimilar 12-inch reflector.1 Th'o Wellington City Council is nowthe owner of the 9-inch photo visualrefractor with which. Father Kennedydid such excellent work at Meeanee

'Observatory, Napier. It is now.fulfill-ing a very useful purposo in' intro-ducing the Wellington public to theglories of the sky." Near it is the smallobservatory of the astronomical sectionof tKe WellingtonPhilosophical- Society,■with the King telescope, a 5-J-inch re-fractor, and a 5-inch, both by Cooke.

At-Karori Mr. G. V. Hudson has anobservatory, and has carried out regu-lar observations since 1896. His firsttelescope was a 3in one, but this wasreplaced in 1903 by a 4-inch equatorialrefractor by Steward, London. , Withthis Mrl Hudson-keeps a watch on thesun. > The spots are recorded throe, orfour'times each week., A chart is pre-pared, -the spots numbered in annualseries,. and the return of importantgroups noted. " Spots of exceptionalsize 'and interest are reported to thePress. ":A list of southern stellar ob-jects- which aro interesting as seenthrough a 4-inch teelscopo has been pre-pared,'and is nowroady for. publication.Another most important use is' madeof this telescope in encouraging school-boys to take an interest in tho wondersof the heavens. Mr. Hudson was thefirst 'here to discover the new star inAquila on 9th Juno, 1018. This dis-covery enabled observations to be taken

whilst tlio star was still rising in bright-ness. It was an exciting experience towatch it through that first night. Thestar is so -far .off that the light fromits outburst must have taken about 1200 1years to conio t0... tis. The explosionmust have taken place-about-the.1 begin-ning '..of the.seventh century, but thelight that reached us was so intensethat for a short time it shone in oursky as tho brightest star, in Ilia heavens. |It must then have beon'iibout 300,000]times as bright as the sun. This Nova'was discovered independently also byMr. A. Gr. C. Crust in Duuedin. Thisshows the importance of a good know-ledge of the starry heavens. Probably 1thousands of others looked at tho Novawhen it was a first magnitude star with--out noticing anything peculiar about it.Most "novae.appear in or near the bor-ders of tho Milky Way, so every loverof-the sky should make himself speci-ally familiar with the galactic constel-.■latioiis. Under Mr. Ward's able direc-torship, thp.-Wanganui observatory, witha 9-inch refractor, did much excellentwork, and introduced great numbersto the wonders of tho universe.

Away in the far North, Mr. C. B.Michie has aroused much interest inastronomy with his SJ-inoh refractor.He has been instrumental in startingan enthusiastic astronomical society.

Mr. A. D. Bell, of Shag Valley, Wai-hemo, near Palmerston South, has abeautifully-equipped observatory witha six-inch.refractor.

Mr. A.' W. Burrell made Ms own ob-servatory at Stratford, and did muchuseful; work with a 5-inch. Cooko re-fractor, until, tho site was taken forthe railway.

Interest in astronomy is kept up inChristclnirch by Canterbury College. Itis a pity that the other university, col-leges and the secondary schools havenot each a good telescope.

Waitaki High School and TimaruHigh School each own one, 'but both of

these have been out of uso for some!time": ■.■■■■ ■ ■ ■ . j

Mr. P. W. -Glover,, late of Christ-church, now of Wellington, made hisown' 6-iiieh telescope. Mr. W. R.

1Mechaeles, of Alexandra, has a 4J-ineh,Dr. William C. Burns, of Timaru,. a 4-inch, Mr. A. C."Gilford, of Silverstroam,a 4-inch, Mr. J. M'Alister, of Opotiki, a3-J-inch, Mr. J. M'Carthy, of Kaponga,a 3-inch, and Mr. W; S. Thrush, ofWanganui, a 2J-inch telescope. Thisvery incomplete list is given simplyin "the/hope of bringing to light otherinstruments, especially ones that arenot;at'present, in use. If the ownersof such ■ telescopes no- longer requirethem they'may be glad to find someoneto-whom they would'be a:-delight. Inevery■.school .there■ are somo boys orgirls who are, or who would be if theyhad the;chance, keenly interested in theglorious universe. A little encourage-ment given to such scientific interestmaylead to grand.results in the 'future.

,The: S.S.S. is. prepared to accept instru-ments/however small, and to'lend themto its branches. Three telescopes havebeen given to the.society for this pur-pose by; Mrs. Mantell, Mrs. J. Adams,and Mr.E.,G. P. Zohrab respectively. Itis'1possible to.make useful observations,such as;those of sun.' spots and of vari-able jstars,' with quite■small telescopes,and.probably in' most cases a certainamount bf."such,work:will be done. Butthe telescopes given to the society, willbe used no doubtchiefly for.star gazing.They will; enable hundreds, who other-wise'would never have the chance, tosee many objects of great beauty andinterest..; "To be familiar with therugged' craters of the moon, the phasesof Mercury and Venus, the polar capsof -Mars; the <belts and satellites^ ofJupiter, the'-rings ■of Saturn, the starclouds ''of the Milky Way, the■; strangeglobular clusters, and the beautifulnebulae,"is asource: of lifelong pleasure.
