Subject:"WHAT IS THE

GOSPEL?""HE THAT BELIEVETH THE

GOSPEL AND IS BAPTISED SHALLBE SAVED" (Jesus—Mark 16:15-16)."I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THEGOSPEL OF CHRIST, FOR IT ISTHE POWER OF GOD UNTO SAL-VATION TO EVERY ONE THATBELIEVETH." (Paul—Roms. 1:16, 1Cor. 15:1-2).The words of Jesus Christ and theApostle Paul quoted above prove thatsalvation cannot be received unless "THEGOSPEL" is believed. Hence the vitalimportance of the question, "What is the

Gospel?" The word "Gospel" means"good news" or "glad tidings." What"good news"—"glad tidings"—"gospel"—did Jesus preach? The answer is clearlyrecorded in the inspired record:(a) "Jesus went about all Galilee,teach-

ing in their Synagogues, and preach-ing THE GOSPEL OF THE KING-DOM" (Matt. 4.23, Matt. 9:35).

(b) "Now after John was put in prisonJesus came into Galilee preaching theGOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OFGOD." (Mark 1:14).

(c) "And He (Jesus) said unto them, 1must preach THE KINGDOM, OFGOD to other cities also FOR THERE-FORE I AM SENT" (Luke 4:43, Luke8:1, Acts 1:3).

(d) "Then He called His twelve Disciplestogether .. . and He sent them topreach THE KINGDOM OF GOD . . .and they departed and went throughthe towns preaching THE GOSPEL."(Luke 9:1-6). ,

(c) "And now, behold, I know that ye

' all, among whom I have gone preach-ing THE KINGDOM OF GOD, shallsee My face no more" (The ApostlePaul—Acts 20:25, Acts 19-8, Acts 28:30-31).

WHAT IS "THE GOSPEL OF THEKINGDOM OF GOD"? The answer is inthe Lord's prayer, "Thy Kingdom come.Thy will be done in earth, as it is inHeaven" (Matt. 6:10). Is it not "goodnews," "glad tidings" to know that aKINGDOM OF. GOD is coming on earthwith God's will prevailing and "all nationsof the earth blessed"? That is certainly"the Gospel" of the Bible, for the Biblefrom Genesis to Revelation reveals thatthe very object of the second coming biJesus Christ "with power and greatglory" is to establish this universal KING-DOM OF GOD on earth and it revealsthat this is, God's own remedy for thegreat burdens under which suffering hu-manity groans. See Acts 1:11, Acts 3:19----21, Gals. 3:8, Gen. 22:18, Gals. 3:16, Numbs14:21, "Vsa. 67:4, Psa. 72, Isa. chap. 2, Isa.9:6, Isa. 11:1-10, Isa. 24:23, Isa. 40:5, Tia51:3, Isa. 65:17, Jer. 3:17, Jer. 23:5-6, Eze37-21-22 Dan. 7:14, 18, 22, 27, Amos 9:11.Mkah 4:1-4, Hab. 2:14 Zeph. 3:9, Hag2-7 Zech. 1:16, Zech. 2:11, Zech. 8:3-8:Zech. 8:20-22, Zech. 14:16-21. Zech. 14-9Matt. 19:28, Matt.. 23:39, Matt. 24:30,Luke 2:14, Luke 13:28. Luke 21:24-27, Acts17-31 '1 Cor. 15:25, Phil. 2:9-11, Rev. 1:7Rev.'ll:ls. . •Could Jesus Christ have preached betternews than this "GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD"? And as salvation dependsupon believing this "GOSPEL OF THEKINGDOM OF GOD" are not the fol-lowing God-inspired words of the ApostlePaul only reasonable:

"THOUGH WE, OR AN ANGEI.FROM. HEAVEN (OR ANY MANverse 9) PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAIWHICH WE HAVE PREACHF.TUNTO YOU, LET HIM BE ACCURSED." (Gals. 1:8-9).

TIMBER PRODUCTION

FALL RECORDED

FIRST FOR SEVEN YEARS

The annual report of the State ForestService records that for the first timein seven years, production of rough-sawn timber has fallen below that ofthe previous year, the cut reported bythe Government Statistician for theyear ended March 31, 1939, being317,000,00b board feet, or 6,000,000 boardfeet less, than for 1938, and 18,000,000board feet less than the predicted cut.It is pointed out that the discrepancyis almost wholly due to the 'reducedcut of ftand|white: pine, presentmdications^rîtwSEated^"^flia^prtiitJuc-tion for the yearended March 31, 1940,will not exceed 325,000,000 board feet.Production of white pine fell to only33,000,0Q0board feet, this being a re-flection of the Government's policy toreduce the cut to meet local essentialdemands^ : • ''■■■ ■..".'■.."■ \i.': \. ;/.-'■■

"For many years," the report con-tinues, "white pine has ranked inquantity second only to rimu, but thisyear it gives way to insignis pine,which has steadily mounted in pro-duction from 9,000,000 board feet in1929 to 42,000,000 board feet in 1939.As white pine has increased, in pricedue to steadily rising costs associatedwith procuring more remote supplies,insignis pine has gradually ousted itfor the mianufacture of virtually all;containers. except butter boxes. "Thegeneral utility of this timber is suchthat present consumption is .-limited'only by thefact that it represents themaximum quantity which can be'pro-duced from mature stands. The ex-ploitation of younger stands in bothState and privateforests, already com-menced, will rapidly expand produc-tion.

KAURI FORESTS."Kauri is as conspicuous this yearby

a substantial fall in production as itwas last year by an equally significantrise. The approaching exhaustion ofprivate kauri forests will mean a stillfurther decrease in production, but thelong-term management policy of theState will ensure that supplies forreally essential purposes will be avail-able in perpetuity.

"In spite of the reduction in the re-ported cut of all species, rimu for theseventh year in succession registered,an increased production, reflecting thewide distribution of this speciesthroughout the Dominion and its uni-versal employment for building pur-poses. Not until the easier seasoning,working, nailing, and other good pro-perties of insignis pine are better ap-preciated for building work is thesupremacy of rimu likely to be chal-lenged."

EXPORT FIGURES.Exports have been steadily falling

since 1935 and the report states thatthey, have now reached the lowestfigure for more than fifty years. Kauriwas originally the principal item ofthe export trade, and subsequently inmore recent years white pine was instrong demand. With the necessity forrestricting production of these twospecies to meet only essential local de-mands, both have been virtually elimi-nated from the export trade, thus ac-counting for the record low export of13,000,000 board feet for the calendaryear,1939. . . !

The report: expresses the opinionhowever, that the present outlook forthe export trade is brighter than ithas been for several years, though itso happens that the improved demandhas come at a time and under circum-stances which preclude full advantagebeing taken of it by the New Zealandproducers.

CHILDREN FROM HOME

PREPARATIONS BEINGMADE

RECEPTION IN DOMINION

In spite of the fact that the schemefor sending British children betweenthe ages of five years and 16 to theDominion has been temporarily sus-pended, preparations for the receptionof the children in New Zealand arestill going on. The Minister of In-ternal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry)said last night that cabled dispatcheswere still being exchanged betweenthe United Kingdom Government andthe New Zealand Government as con-sideration of different matters in rela-tion to the children to be evacuatedbecame necessary.

New Zealand families, said the Min-ister, had nominated over 3000 child-ren, mostly the children of relativesand friends in England, to be broughtto the Dominion. Offers had also beenreceived from New Zealand parentswhich would mean a home for 5000 un-specified children.

"All the nominations and offers totake children," Mr. Parry said, "havebeen sent forward to the United King-dom Government through Mr. W. J.Jordan, the High Commissioner forNew Zealand in London. Had there notbeen a temporary postponement of thescheme it would not be over-estimatingthe patriotism and sympathy of ourpeople to say that there would havebeen hundreds, if not thousands, moreoffers received by the Government tocare for any of the children brought tothese shores for safety. Ther.e has notbeen the slightest cavilling over thisscheme —it has had a spontaneous andremarkable reception by the peoplewhich redounds to their spirit .ofpatriotism."

Mr. Parry said many veryfine lettershad been received from New Zealand-ers in which they made their offers totake the evacuated children. "Thehigh sense of feeling and patriotismshown in the letters," the Ministeradded, "would kindle the hearts andminds of all who read them."

SPORTS CENTRE

WELLINGTON PROPOSAL

LIKELY TO BE REVIVED

Reference'to the proposal to estab-lish a sports headquarters in Welling-ton was made by Mr. Albert Cohen,chairman of the Wellington BilliardsAssociation, when speaking at a func-tion held at' the Federal Club in hon-our of the winning team and othercompetitors at the recent Wellingtoninter-club billiards tournament.

Mr. Cohen said that the BilliardsAssociation was very fortunate in al-ways having a meeting-room, this beingdue to the generosity of the FederalClub. Unfortunately, however, therewere other sports bodies which werenot so happily placed. For this andother reasons the proposal to have asports headquarters, which had beentaken up some" time ago, had much tocommend it. Since preliminary con-sideration of the scheme, war hadbroken out and the proposal had beenleft in abeyance. Mr. A. C. "Kitto,president of the Wellington AmateurAthletic Centre, who was primarilyresponsible for the proposal, was keen,however, to see it proceeded with, aridhe had stated recently that the inten-tion was to revive the project if pos-sible.

The idea, said Mr. Cohen, was notonly to provide adequate accommoda-tion for the various sports bodies tohold their meetings, but also to pro-vide club facilities for sports competi-tors. Mr. Cohen said he hoped thatthe project would be taken up enthu-siastically and said that as chairmanof the Wellington Billiards Associationit was his intention to give it hiswholehearted support. He expressedthe hopealso that other sports officialswould follow suit.

MAGISTRATE'S COURT

One month's imprisonment withhard labour was the sentence imposedby Mr. J. L. Stout, S.M., in the Magis-trate's Court yesterday upon FrancisJohn Reynolds, aged 57, a piano tuner,who pleaded guilty to and blameddrink for his theft of a pair of slip-pers, valued at 2s lid, from outside theshop of Austin Bennett, Ltd., in CubaStreet. Sub-Inspector L. R. Capp saidReynolds had a formidable list of pre-vious convictions.

Sub-Inspector Capp said that on a recentSunday Boyd had thrown himself infront of a moving car on the HuttRoad* at 4 a.m., and after being dis-charged from hospital, where he wastreated for a hand injury he received,he threw himself in front of anothercar at about 8 p.m. the same day, thistime without being hurt.

John. Stanley Percival Collings, aged17, a machinist, was fined £2 for as-saulting 'William Donnelly, aged 15,with whom the police said Collingstried to pick a quarrel in NewtownPark one night. Collings pleadedguilty.

Petronella Ebert, a married woman,pleaded ignorance of the law whencharged with failing to register underthe Aliens Control Emergency Regula-tions. The Magistrate said there mighthave been some misunderstanding andordered her to pay costs.

CRASH OF AEROPLANE

STORY AT INQUEST

THE AKAROA TRAGEDY

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, August 2,The inquest into the deaths of Lead-

ing Aircraftmen Francis Maurice Me-Farlane and John Lindsay McFadyen,who were killed when an Air Forceaeroplane crashed in Akaroa on June15, was resumed in Akaroa today. Evi-dence was given by William AnthonyWhite.

"The aeroplane seemed to be head-ing for the sea, but when possibly 200yards from the water I think the pilotmust have changed his mind," he said."His speed at the time was much tooslow to turn, but the pilot did make aleft-hand turn, whicn threw him into avery steep bank. From there onwardsthe aeroplane lost its grip of the air,side-slipping rapidly, and travelledabout 300 yards before nose-diving tothe ground."

The evidence^ of Akaroa witnesseswas taken by the Coroner, Mr. Levvey,this morning and the inquest will becompleted in Christchurch in about afortnight's time, when the evidenceof Air Force officers will be taken.

BIBLE CLASS COMPETITIONS

One-act plays and folk dancing werethe main events at Thursday evening'ssession of the Bible Class competitionsat Wesley Church, Taranaki Street.

The winning play, "Fours Into Seven—Won't Go!" presented by the Vyyi.?_nStreet Baptist Bible Class, receivedsome helpful and encouraging criticismfrom Madame Maria Dronke, the ad-judicator of the section. "All partswere perfectly balanced and truly typi-fied," said Madame Dronka, "and thewhole performance was on a very-highfooting." The producer was Mr. ErrolMuir. The second play, presented bythe Thorndon Methodist players, "ThePlaygoer," called for favourable com-ment from Madame Dronke, whopraised highly the ability of some ofthe players. "One of Those Letters"(St. John's Presbyterian) took thirdplace and received favourable criticismfrom the judge.

In the folk dancing section, St.James's Presbyterian gave an "Eight-some Reel," an unusual Scottish danceaccompanied by the bagpipes, whichgreatly interested the audience. MissDixon, folk dancing adjudicator, gavehelpful advice to the competitors.

The results of the folk dancing wereas follows:—Karori Presbyterian, 1;St. John's Presbyterian, 2; St. James'sPresbyterian, 3.

The competitions will continuethroughout next week, concluding witha grand demonstration of section win-ners on Saturday, August 10.

WAR RELIEF ASSOCIATION

The finance committee's report pre-sented at a meeting of the executiveof the Wellington War Relief Associa-tion yesterday showed that at June 30the association's total available fundsamounted to £10,606 14s lid, thegreater part of which, £10,550, wasrepresented by investments in thecommon fund of the Public Trustee.

The National War Funds Council,,the finance committee reported, con-?tinued to forward grants for the reliefof economic distress for unfit unem-ployed men in necessitous circum-stances.

Since the last meeting of the execu-tive the emergency committee re-ported "that it had met 15 /times andhad dealt with 88 claims, all of whichwere referred to and confirmed by theapplications committee. Fifteen caseswere still under action. The numberof callers at the association's office was100.

WAR FUNDS

PATRIOTIC BODIES

FUNCTIONS OUTLINED

As there is a misunderstanding re-garding the work of the co-ordinationof the Joint Council of the Order ofSt. John and New Zealand Red CrossSociety, the sick and wounded appeal,and the National Patriotic Fund Board,the following statement has been is-sued on behalf of the National Patrio-tic Fund Board and the Joint Councilof the Order of St. John and New Zea-land Red Cross Society with a viewto clarifying the position:

"The Joint Council has been ap-pointed by the National Patriotic FundBoard as the authorised collector forthe Sick and Wounded Fund, all moneycollected being paid to the NationalPatriotic Fund Board. The Joint Coun-cil has also been appointed the onlyauthorised expending agent of the Sickand Wounded Fund; that is to say, theJoint Council actually carries out" thework of the board in connection withthe sick and wounded.

"The National Patriotic Fund Board,in the early days of the war, decidedthat money should be raised in theorder in which it would be expended.Consequently it authorised first theFighting Services appeal (for the com-forts of troops overseas), which washeld in May, and secondly,, the Sickand Wounded appeal which has re-cently been completed. Arrangementshave now been made between the Na-tional Patriotic Fund Board and theProvincial Patriotic Councils that nofurther national appeals will be madeby independent bodies, and all futureappeals will be made by the Provingcial Patriotic Councils for rehabilita-tion, or the care of the men upon theirreturn.

SPLENDID RESPONSE."The wonderful response made by

the people of New Zealand to the ap-peal for the sick and wounded hasbeen inspiring. The original amountaimed at—£2so,ooo—has been doublysubscribed, and, as far as can be forerseen, sufficient money is now in handfor this phase of the work.

"The various committees and sub-committees of the Joint Council of theOrder of St. John and New ZealandRed Cross Society will be providedwith funds with which to carry outtheir war work on application beingmade to theig centre. The work should,however, onYy be done as is requestedfrom time to time by the heaquartersof the Joint Council, which is suppliedwith the information of what actualwork is required by requests fromoverseas and by requests from theDirector-General of Medical Services.It will be realised that making goodsin excess of the actual requirements,plus a reasonable reserve, is at thepresent time a waste of good material.

"The National Patriotic Fund Boardand the Joint Council of the Order ofSt. John and the New Zealand RedCross Society desire to record theirsincere thanks to the various commit-tees throughout New Zealand whohave worked so wholeheartedly for thesuccess of the appeal, and to requestthem not to disband but to make theirservices available to their local patrio-tic committees throughout the Do-minion."

"AS NICE AS A LOLLY TO ME!".CHILD'S TRIBUTE TO "BAXTERS."

A grateful Wellington father writesto us that his small boy had a per-sistent cough which not only robbedhim of his sleep, but ruined the sleepof his mother and father, and threat-ened to keep him from school. How-ever, regular doses of Baxters LungPreserver diluted with water night andmorning have, to use the father'swords, "done wonders," and everytime the boy had his "Baxters," heused to say "Good old 'Baxters,' it's asnice as a lolly to me."

Another illustration of the effective-ness of "Baxters" in dealing withchildren's coughs, and the readinesswith which children will take"Baxters." "Baxters" is perfectly pureand harmless, yet thoroughly effective.The popularity of this rich, red pene-trating remedy for generation aftergeneration supplies the proof of itsworth. When you take a dose of "Bax-ters" you can feel it doing its work.

If you really want to stop thatcough, take "Baxters."—Advt.

When Bombsare dropping

you don'tLAUGH..!"

: -'.•■••■ '; ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ' '*'■'■

WTIOR months, it seemed like years, bombs seemed to be dropping just behind me asT~i I made my way out of Europe back to New Zealand, my Homeland. Even on the

•A. boat they took a shot at us but missed. You can't imagine the horror of it all ...you feel as though the next bomb is sure to come down right on top of you. The

fear was with me, even on the boat, and it was weeks before I could sleep properly. Then Icaught a cold and developed a cough. I suppose I was run-down after my terrible experi-ences. The ship's doctor gave me some medicine, but it didn't do much good. .However, theship was nearing New Zealand and I ceased to worry. As soon as I landed I went straightaway and bought the remedy that pur family have used for years, I knew that it would v

quickly fix both my cough and cold. And it did. I was delighted to find that you can nowbuy "Heenzo" ready mixed as well as the essence with which you can make your own Coughand Cold mixture; so easily and economically. I bought a bottle of both, "Heenzo" readymixed and "Heenzo" essence to mix myself. It's a remedy, and I found it just as

efficient as in the days my mother gave it to me when I was only a little girl. There's nodoubt that "Heenzo" ready mixed is very convenient, particularly when you want to take itright away. It is also quite economical, being double strength. On the other hand you can'tget past the fact that with a half-crown bottle of "Heenzo"Essence you make as much coughmixture as you buy for twelve and six ordinarily. Nearly all Chemists and Stores sell "HeenzoReady Mixed" (double strength) as well as "Heenzo" Essence. Both are half-a-crown abottle. Wholesale Distributors: W. 8C R. Smalibone Ltd., Wellington.

WAR-RISK BONUSES

MEN ON COASTAL SHIPS

AND EXTENDED RIVER LIMITS

(By. Telegraph—Press Association.)

AUCKLAND, August 2,War-risk bonuses effective from last

Thursday have been.awarded seamen,cooks, and stewards employed in thecoastal shipping trade, according to anannouncement made by .Mr.,J. A. Gil-mour, .■ ■ Industrial Magistrate, who pre-sided over a conference of representa-tives of shipping companies and ofunions, held.in camera on July 26, inWellington, by direction, of the PrimeMinister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser).

Ratings in/the coastal service willreceive a monthly bonus of £ 1 15s,and boys, and cadet stewards will re-ceive a monthly bonus of £1. No bonushas been awarded men employed with-in river limits. Bonuses, however, of17s 6d. a month for ratings and 10s amonth for boys and cadet stewardsworking within extended river limitshave been allowed. In view of the factthat bonuses had been awarded theworkers,of the Australian coastal, ves-sels and" that allowances had beenmade, for New Zealand seamenon over-seas vessels,. Mr-. Gilmour said theworkers were entitled to some increase.Because of the financial;position of thecompanies he would not make the pay-ment retrospective.

"Though it may not be in my pro-vince to comment in these proceedingson the question of freight charges, Ifeel bound'to say I was impressed bystatements from both sides as to theprecarious financial position of thecompanies concerned, and it does ap-pear that sympathetic considerationmight,well be given any applicationmade by the companies for permissionto increase freight charges in order,to;meet the additional wage costs im-■posed by this decision," said .Mr. Gil-■mour. • ; ; , '. ; , ■ . , ■

LAW PARAMOUNT

THE PUBLIC SAFETY

SENTENCE FOR SUBVERSION

(By Telegraph—Pres9 Association.)

AUCKLAND, August 2,A prohibition against addressing pub-

lic meetings or taking any part in pub-lic movements associated with theCommunist political organisation waspart of the sentence imposed by Mr.Justice Fair in the Supreme Court onAlexander Drennan, waterside worker,who was found guilty by a jury ofhaving made subversive: statements incontravention of the Public SafetyEmergency Regulations at a streetmeeting in the course of the AucklandWest by-election in May last.. Asked what he had to say, Drennansaid he had always based politics; onthe "best interests of the workingclass and-what he considered the bestinterests of the people of New. Zea-land/-' He called Edward A. Girven,■secretary of the Waterside- Workers'TJnion, ,:to testify to his. honesty andworking ability.'The Judge remarked that theprisoner had been previously sen-tenced for procuring lawlessness andinciting. disorder; also that he hadbeen convicted for assault and ob-structing the police, also obstructinga public place.

Girven said he was not. aware ofthese convictions.

In passing sentence the Judge saidthe jury had made a strong recom-mendation to mercy on grounds thatthe statements were made in the heatof an election campaign. No singleindividual was entitled to set up his,,own individual opinion against that ofthe community as expressed, by thelaw. That was what the-ipriscmeir had!repeatedly^' tried to do. *h<*prisoner's past record, however;hehactdecided to treat him in the same way:as a fellow-Communist. He would be:released on probation for three yearson the usual statutory conditions andalso ordered to pay £25 towards thecosts of theprosecution.

PUBLIC WORKS

SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES

PUBLICITY SUGGESTED

When the Appropriation Bill wasbefore the Legislative Council .onThursday afternoon reference; wasmade by several members to the wayin which the expenditure of a largenumber of Departments, is brought to-gether 'under the vote for publicworks. , The suggestion ,was madethat some form of publicity should begiven to the activities of the PublicWorks .Department so that the generalpublic could get a better appreciationof the work done.

The subject was raised.by the Hon..G, R. Hunter (Canterbury), who saidthe expenditureof the different Depart-ments shouldbe setout and notgroupedtogether and so enable people to saythat the Public, Works Department wasspending millions of pounds. Thecriticism that had been,made was.notfair to Mr. Semple, who was the bestPublic Works Minister the country hadever had.

The Hon. T. Bloodworth (Auckland)also paid a tribute to Mr. Semple'sability and said that the Departmentshould have some form of a magazinesimilar to the journal issued by theDepartment of Agriculture.

The Leader of the Council (the Hon.D. Wilson) also deprecated the criticismaimed at Public Works expenditure andsaid he would refer Mr. Bloodworth'ssuggestion to the proper quarters.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

ITEMS FROM THE"POST"

A LOST OPPORTUNITY"No one interested in the progress

and prosperity of this colony can readthe cabled account of the opening ofthe Mining. Exhibition at South Ken-sington without a feeling of regretand shame that New Zealand is notmentioned at all,"- remarks "The Post"of this date-fifty years ago. "There isnothing in the Exhibition to suggestthe idea that such a colony as NewZealand exists, even much less thanthat it is scarcely, if at all, inferior toNew South Wales in its natural min-eral wealth. New South Wales, weare told, shows samples of everyknown mineral. New Zealand, per-haps, could not do this just at present,for its mineral resources are not sowell developed as those of the eldercolony, but if proper steps had beentaken New Zealand might at SouthKensington have made a display ofauriferous ores, iron, tin, copper, anti-mony, cinnabar, virgin gold, coal,marble, asbestos, and other mineralsas would have excited a good deal ofattention, notwithstanding the magnifi-cent collection from New South Wales.The colony might have shown enoughto form a magnificent advertisement ofthe vast natural wealth which liesbeneath our soil awaiting capital andskill to turn it. to account. New Zearland has lost a great-opportunity, andwe are at a loss to understand howit is that, with the Agent-General'sDepartment in London and a Ministerof Mines and a Mining Departmenthere, no effort whatever,seems to havebeen made to have the colony properlyrepresented at the Mining Exhibitionnow being held, and of which all theother colonies seem to have takenmore or less advantage. A questionin Parliament might elicit some in-formation from the Minister ofMines."PUBLIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION.

"Although keeping studiously alooffrom all interference in the party poli-tics of the day, the Public ServiceAssociation, which was formed theother night, may nevertheless becomeand should become an important fac-tor in promoting good government inthe colony. Hitherto the Public Ser-vice has been a house many timesdivided against itself. It has beensplit up into factions and cliques, ithas been riven by internal jealousiesand dissensions, and it has neverlearned to respect itself. There hasbeen nothing in the nature of esprit decorps developed amongst its members,and instead of being proud of belong-ing to the service members havenever lost an opportunity of deplor-ing its disadvantages and lamentingthe uncertainties of their position.Successive Ministries have delighted inaffording evidence of the insecuretenure of office in the service, andhave endeavoured to create the idea ofa personal service rather than anational one, by making officers be-lieve they are the personal servantsand dependants of the Ministers inpower, instead of servants of the coun-try. There has been a great deal toomuch cringing and crawling in the ser-vice, and too great facility afforded forobtaining promotion by such illegiti-mate means, instead ofby good, honest,straightforward work. We hope thatthe formation of the Association, sohappily..inaugurated the other night,will alter all this, and that membersof the service will recognise theirlegitimate responsibilities andf priyirleges as units of a great body. Theymust learn to respect themselves andthe service they belong to as the firststep towards gaining the respect ofthe public for the service. Never wasthere a case where there has existedgreater opportunity for reform andreorganisation, , for the service is atpresent at the lowest possible ebb, de-moralised, disorganised, disunited, andpowerless—a kind of football foreveryoneto kick; its members withoutheart or hope, aware that they existonly on-sufferance, that they have ndsecurity of' tenure, and that a snatchvote in the House may, no matter theirposition or length of service, cast themadrift, or arbitrarily reduce their payat. any moment. It is impossible forthe country to be well served whileits Public .Service is in this condi-tion, and we therefore hail with plea-sure the movement which tends toprovide a remedy for the present evils,raisethe service to. a proper position,and establish it on a secure and firmbase."'

BILLS."The deputation of employers who

waited upon the Hon. Mr. Hislop inregard;to the Factories arid Shops Billmight almost as well have saved them-selves the trouble. They were fullyarmed'with many strong and cogentobjections to the Billj as originallyframed, but they might quite as profit-ably have explained these to the firstpoliceman they met or to the reportersalone, as to the Honourable the >Minis-,ter of Education. There are tworeasons for this. In the first place theBill stands referred to a Select. Com-mittee which is likely to entirely re-model it - and remove many of thehighly pbj ectionable features withwhich the original bristled; and, in thesecond place, because Mr. Hislop,although nominally in charge of theBill,, knows little and cares less as toits contents. We do not for one momentsuppose that he will trouble himselfto, "represent the objections of thedeputation to the committee. It was1only the near approach of a GeneralElection, the conviction that somethingmust be done this session to regaintheir lost popularity, that suddenlyawoke the zeal of Ministers for theamelioration of the condition of theindustrial classes, as evinced in theintroduction of these Labour Bills.Their action is not really sincere. Theyio not care one jot or tittle whether:hese reforms are passed or not, orwhether any reforms are effected. Theylave'simply made a daring bid forpopularity, and to gain- support whichivill ensure them a continuance of)ffice they are willing to pander to anyrry or to any demand which they.be-ieve is strongly supported. As a mat-;er of fact, Ministers would probablyrather see these Bills thrown out thanpassed. It would form a fresh oppor-tunity for bidding for popularity.. Atiie hustings they could expatiateon the»reat things they would have done and;ried to do, but were prevented fromIbing. They would much prefer totrust in that gratitude which consists3f a lively sense of favours,to come,than the colder feeling evolved byfavours already conceded."

BIRDS AT MAHINA BAY

NATIVE AND INTRODUCED

(By R. H. D. Stidolph.)

It is a well-known maxim that themore intensive watch or study madeof a certain denned area, as far asbird-life is concerned, the greater isthe variety of species to be found inthat area. In some instances, a sur-prising number of different birds maybe recorded. As a case in point, Mr.E. W. Hursthouse, of Mahina Bay,.Eastbourne, has compiled a list ofbirds, both native and introduced, hehas seen in that bay. Here is his list:Native birds—rifleman, grey warbler,tomtit; whitehead, pied fantail. shin-ing cuckoo, long-tailed cuckoo, bell-bird, pipit, kingfisher, morepork, tui,native pigeon, bush hawk,- silver-eyel

black-backed gull, red-billed gull,white-fronted tern, Caspian tern, blueheron, blue penguin, black shag, gan-net; introduced birds—hedge sparrow,house sparrow, starling, song thrush,blackbird, goldfinch, chaffinch, yellowhammer, greenfinch,, and black ;swan.This is a total of thirty-three. species,which must compare favourably with:the variety to be seen in other areas

of similar size in any part of NewZealand. .

DISTRIBUTION OF ALIENS.Commenting on the birds included

in his list, Mr. Hursthouse states thathe has heard the long-tailed: cuckooon one occasion only. Although thebell-bird, he states, is present in.num-bers in Day's Bay and Eastbourne, it isonly occasionally seen at Mahina Bay.The bush hawk, too, is a rare visitorbut no doubt, as he points, out, if .morefrequent visits were made: to the top.of the range this bird would be morein evidence. As to the introduced Ibirds, he states that, most of themfrequent the .bush-within a short dis-tance of the shore, somewhat in thefollowing zones:—Up to 30Q.feet alti-tude and 200 • yards from the shore,blackbird* song thrush; up to 200 feetin altitude and 150 yards froml theshort, hedge sparrow; up to. 150 feetin altitude and 100 yards from theshore, chaffinch, goldfinch, and yellowhammer. ■ The- starling he has neverseen beyond 100'yards from' the shore;in fact, fifty "yards would "be nearerthe-limit. Every year the black swanpaysa visit to the bay, usually settlingon the'harbour about half.a mile fromthe shore. A; few weeks ago, however,there were at least* a. dozen, and onanother!occasioh'ithere:;.weretwo quiteclose in shore. . • '■..-■ ■<

OTHER POSSIBLE VISITORS..There, is. no' doubt that.even this

list. could be extended by.;:further Ob-servation, For instance, arhong nativebirds, thereus 'no reason 'why .the giantpetrel, white-throated shag (and pos-sibly the pied shag)', grey duck,,blackoyster catcher (the"latter' is found atthe mouth •. of• the Hutt River), and

harrier, and among introduced birds,the Californian quail, redpoll, skylark,and. magpie should not be re-corded from the locality, eventhough they might be visitorsonly. As an instance,: it may be men-tioned that although the writer haskept a close watch on the birds of the.area around Mastertqn for the pasttwenty years, it was'not until a fewdays ago that the Caspian tern wasseen in this area. On this occasionthree birds were noted, nesting on theedge ■of the water. Every time a har-rier appeared the terns:.took flight,but usually they soon settled again.They did not appear to have anythingparticular to do except to pass away

the time on the river bank; In theSouth Island, the Caspian tern hasbeen recorded as.v.breeding on shingleriver beds many miles'from the sea,but so far no such'occurrence has beenreported, from the North. Island. An-other bird breeding. in similar areasin the South Island, is the pied oystercatcher, but this species. is likewiseunknown on North' Island river-beds.

j A FAVOURITE HAUNT.! The environs of Wellington, largelyon account qf the varied typesof coun-try in the neighbourhood, not. to men-tion the extensive land-locked harbour,have always been a favourite haunt

for birds. In the earliest days-of settle-ment, according to the meagre detailsleft, to us, native birds 'were very|plentiful around Wellington. At: that jtime the hills, in the vicinity were

Iclothed in bush, in which many birds,some now almost extinct, lived in theirthousands. The woods at Karori andMakara, for instance, were;frequentedby the parakeet, kaka, pigeon, andothers in plenty, wekas; were presentin the Hutt Valley and elsewhere; thenative quail inhabited the more openfern country near Island Bay arid inthe Kaiwarra Gorge, and probably inother gorges running down to the har-bour, there were such rare birds asthe -stitch-bird, native thrush, andothers. On the beach were found theshore plover (now unknown from themainland) and other kinds of waders.A favourite haunt of many.birds wasthe mouth of the Hutt River, wherethere were to be seen thousands ofstilts, godwits, oyster-catchers, andducks of several species. Even at thepresent day, Wellington can probablyboast more native birds, inits neigh-bourhood than any other city in &ewZealand.

FOOD OF THE OPOSSUM.Mr. J. Morris, of Charleston, West-,

port, is interested in the food of theIopossum. As the result of some, experi-ments he has carried out he is able tosupply the following information as tofood he has definitely seen it eating.IThis includes green or ripe apples,leaves and shoots of fruit trees androse bushes;. many flowering .plants,carrots, parsnips, pumpkins, ■ cabbage,and allied plants, beetroot, silver beet,rhubarb, green or ripe;gooseberries,eggs either raw,. poached, boiled, orfried; meat raw, boiled, or.roasted, beef.;and bacon fat. arid'raw; fats.;'.It "will

also drink milk but will not eat let-tuce or onions. Mr. Morris states thatthe opossum seems to be very fond ofmeats and fats. He points out that ittravels a good deal over open coun-try, when it visits dwellings and fowl-houses, and eats wheat from sacks. Theopossum, he states, seemed to be verycurious. He draws attention to a re-cent report of the destruction of ripen-ing Poorman oranges and grape fruitby the opossum nearAuckland, where,it is stated, this animal has accountedfor a large proportion of the fruit. Netswere used to protect the fruit butthese were not very effective in thecase of large trees.

BRITAIN'S HYMN OF SEA-POWER

There is something peculiarlyappropriate to these days in the re-minder in "The Times," and alsoindependently in pur own columns,that this is thebicentenary of the firstpresentation to the public of ourgreatest patriotic song, "Rule,Britannia," nest only to the NationalAnthem in the hearts of generationsof British peoples. Yet one mighthazard the proposition that, few,before this reminder, knew when"Rule, Britannia" was written, andby whom, and in what form it firstmade its appearance. How extra-ordinary, for instance, at first sight,that it appeared in a masque—of allthings—produced in 1740 at Clief-den, the summer residence of thePrince of Wales, eldest son of GeorgeII; that the masque was named"Alfred," a synonym for calm andpeace; that it was written by JamesThomson, a Scot, author of theplacid "Seasons," in conjunction withDavid Mallet, another Scot, and that

[there is no direct evidence which ofthe two actually wrote "Rule,Britannia." The literary commenta-tor simply says that the masque"contains the famous song of 'Rule,Britannia,' of which Southey saidthat *it will be the political hymn ofthis country as long as she maintainsher political power.'"

Southey, who flourished sixtyyears and more after ♦ and livedthrough the Napoleonic Wars intothe Great Peace of the VictorianAge, and wrote the most famous"Life of Nelson," as well as muchpoetry, and should know somethingabout sea-power, was right. If hehad lived another hundred years tothis day and seen Britain once more,as against Napoleon in 1804, stand-ing up almost alone for the freedomof Europe and the world againsttyranny worse than Napoleon's, hewould have been doubly sure that hewas right, and that Thomson was atrue prophet in the lines of "Rule,Britannia."The nations not so blessed as thee

Must in their turn to tyrants fall,While thou shalt flourish great and free

The dread and envy of them all.Still more majestic thou shalt rise

More dreadful from each foreignstroke,

As the loud blast that 'tears the skiesServes but to root thy native Oak,

Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame,All their attemptsto bendthee down

Will but arouse thy generous flame. To work their woe and thy renown.And to . each verse comes thethunderous refrain, sung to themusic of Arne by so many genera-tions of Britons:

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rulethe. waves!

Britons- never shall be slaves.

But in the song the "never" is re-peated in crescendo thrice like thefamous "ake, ake, ake" of Rewi inhis last stand. ■

The words and the air themselvesheed no comment; they are clear andvehement enough, the simple hymnof Britain's sea-power, immortalnot, perhaps, in their poetry andmusic—-for there are critics—but intheir fundamental truth that appealsto all as the expression of the s.oulof Britain. But how did Thomsonof all people, a pastoral poetof "TheSeasons" and "The Castle. of In-dolence,'' come to utter such a clarioncall to patriots and to see so soon inBritain's Imperial history what sea-power meant to Britain. Thomsonwas born in 1700 and must "havelived as aboy through the campaignsof Marlborough and the rise ofEngland as a Continental Power,with Scotland now as a part of GreatBritain, soon to be the GreaterBritain, which he foresaw. The BritishEmpire in those days had hardlybeen named, for there were fewpossessions overseas beyond theAmerican Colonies. But it was thebeginning of a new era of the"balance of power" in Europe withBritain as its special guardian, arole she has had to exercise eversince. Of Britain then the historianJohn Richard Green, in his "ShortHistory of the English People," said,nearly seventy, years ago:

In struggling for peace and thesanctity of treaties, even though thestruggle was one of selfish interest,England took a ply which she hasnever wholly lost. Warlike and im-perious as is her national temper, shehas never been able to free herselffrom a sense that her business in theworld is to seek peace.

Now it was this spirit of peacethat Robert Walpole, the "GreatCommoner," displayed so stronglyin his long reign of power in Britainthat he cut across the "warlike andimperious" temper of the nation,noted truly by Green, and was as-sailed in the later years, as "the cur-dog of Britain and the spaniel ofSpain" and was finally, in 1739, theyear before "Rule, Britannia," com-pelled to make war with Spain. Andhe said, "They may ring their bellsnow, but they will soon be wringingtheir hands." Thomson voiced the"warlike and imperious" nationaltemper. "Rule, Britannia" was not

the first of his patriotic poems. Asa youth he had written a long poem,now lost in obscurity, entitled"Britannia"—Jike a good Scot, hedoes not speak of England as thepolitical power—and here, the home-lier' British Virgil of Britain's"Augustan Age," he personifiesBritain, as Virgil personified Rome,quoting a passage from the Aeneidwhich may■•■be translated:And tell this to your King3?hat not to him the Empire of the: Seas ■• ■'■•■■' \ . .'- ■But to me is given by fate.

And Thomson in his own wordsadds, somewhat unhistorically, ofpast British leaders:... that Empire o'er the conquered

seasFor which their wisdom planned, their 'councils glowedAnd their veins bled through many a

toiling age. ...This is your glory, this your wisdom; ,

this "..The native power for which you were'<designedBy Fate, when 'Fate designed the ;

firmest state ■ [That e'er was seated in the subject

sea; 'A State, alone, where Liberty should :live, ,In these late times, this evening of •mankind. ;

These are the exact words, written:in 1727. Could anything fit better jBritain's latest struggle or could"Rule, Britannia," the hymn of sea- 'power, ring more truly? ,

"NOT A GESTAPO"

Discussing the functions andpowers of the Ministry of Informa-tion recently, Mr. Harold Nicolsonsaid that though it was difficult tosay exactly what the Ministry was,jit was easy to say what it was not."It is not an Ogpu or a Gestapo,"he said. "It does not desire to dic-tate to the citizens of this freecountry what they should think, say,feel, or hear. It does not prey uponthe private thoughts of the people.It does not bully and it does notsneak." These remarks may beopportunely recalled when consider-ing the criticism of the canvassers ofpublic opinion who have beennicknamed "Cooper's Snoopers."Defending the employment of theseagents, Mr. Duff Cooper stated in theHouse of Commons that the diffi-culty of ascertaining public opinionwas greater in wartime than in peace-time. Scientific methods had beenused by the newspapers and com-mercial firms, and the Minister ofInformation decided months ago toutilise a method whereby, under theauspices of the National Institute ofEconomic and Scientific Research,about 60 persons werenow employed.The canvassers call at an average ofjeight houses daily, and recent ques-tions have related to the effects ofair raids and rationing. _ _ Only 2per cent, of householders, it is stated,object.

the experiment is an interestingone. Public opinion is normally ex-pressed through two main mediums,the Press and Parliament. Bothreflect, through news and editorialcolumns and speeches, the publicopinion that is expressed by organ-isations of various kinds at meetings,by deputations, letters, and in-terviews. But newspapers andpoliticians are well aware of thedifficulties of accurately ascertainingopinion on any point. They knowthat the propagandist is alwayseager to seize an opportunity to airhis views, and that the unprejudicedcitizen is often reluctant to engagein public discussion. Also theyknow that some sections of publicopinion, through perfection oforganisation, are highly vocal, whiteothers, such as consumers, suffer insilence because they have no effec-tive organisation. There are alwaysgaps in public opinion which couldbe filled with great benefit to aGovernment sincerely anxious, notmerely to register approval of itsown policy, but also to discoverwhere that policy does not agree withthe mind of the people. But is aGovernment the best investigator?Even democratic Governments sufferthe disability formerly ascribed toKings, that of being surrounded bypeople willing to tell them what theywish to hear. On facts, such as aCensus discloses, a high degree ofaccuracy is attainable; but onquestions of opinion it might bedifficult indeed to assure an impar-tial survey. The method employedby the British Ministry of Informa-tion suggests a way: operationwith or through a scientific fact-finding body. The Ministry ofInformation is conducting its in-quiries "under the auspices of theNational Institute of Economic andScientific Research." If by thisnjeans it gains an insight into themind of the quiet citizen who neverraises his voice and never moves aresolution, it may be learning whatmany Governments would like toknow, but what some, if their ownpolicy were involved, would not wishto reveal.

AFFORESTATION ERRORS

The man in the street has difficultyin reading the annual reports of someGovernment Departments that dealwith matters technological, becauseofficials versed in technique find itnot easy to . divorce themselvesfrom technical terms. But the StateForest Service is making notableefforts, in its annual reports, to ex-plain its problems in language thatmay be "understancled of the multi-tude." Forestry is not an easysubject to extricate from the tech-nical smoke screens that are too

often regarded as being necessaryto its health; therefore the claritythat marks the 1940 annual reportof the State Forest Service is themore to be commended. Consider,for instance, the mystery of "ageclasses." The author of the reportexplains by a simple illustration;he assumes that insignis pine, mar-ketable in 35 years, is planted on aland block of 7000 acres.. If aGovernment, in a depression panic,rushes to the block a huge army ofunemployed who plant the wholeblock in one year, then the whole of

! this exotic plantation is of one age.But a quite different result issecured if the acreage of 7000 isdivided by the growth period (35years), giving an annual plantingarea of 200 acres or thereabouts. Bythe annualplanting of 200 acres, "inthe thirty-sixth year the 200 acresplanted in the first year might beharvested and regenerated; in.thethirty-seventh year the next 200 acresplanted in the second year might besimilarly treated, and so on ad in-finitum."

Planting the whole block of landin a year might suit.a depressionGovernment that wishes to employ alarge number of relief workers in ahurry, but it is deemed bad af-forestation. Yet mass-planting ofblocks of land, ignoring or insuf-ficiently recognising the industrialneed for "age classes," has markedboth public and private afforesta-tion:

Three State exotic forests totalling41,000 acres were 91 per cent, plantedduring the five years period 1927-31.During the same period over 80 percent, of the total State insignis pinestands were planted, and over 50 percent, of the privately-owned stands.To manage this resource of ill-distri-buted age classes is one of the mostdifficult problems with which anyforest authority has ever been faced.

The report proceeds to show that,owing to such cardinal errors, "inthe older age classes significantlosses of usable wood, by the deathof? large suppressed trees, havealready occurred." Special effortsare being made by the Department^by newly-created special staffs, todeal with the situation. Self-criticism is a wholesome thing, andclear explanations of the unavoid-able or avoidable problems that havearisen certainly help the public atlarge to understand and to sym-pathise. Afforestation can affordsome relief to an overstocked labourmarket consistently with afforesta-tion interests; but afforestationwould become merely tree-planting,of doubtful economic value, if itwere run purely as relief work. Inthis way the report lets some publiclight into the dark thicket of un-planned exotic plantations-. Thatlight is welcome.

NEWS OF THE DAY

More Hospital Accommodation,

The prevalence of influenza andother illnesses in the months ofJuly, August, and September eachyear usually means an increase in thenumber of patients. at the WellingtonHospital, and this year, though it isstated that the amount of seasonalsickness is not abnormal, the old New-town School has been converted intoa temporary hospital. A total of 1039occupied beds was reached by theWellington Hospital a week ago, andthe Newtown School building now pro-vides accommodation for 75 more, butat present not 50 of the bids in thelatter building are occupied. Onlyabout 30 of the hospital patients aresoldiers from the military campsaround Wellington.Co-operation of Maoris.

The Government has expressed itsappreciation of the action of the mem-bers of the Aupouri tribe, of Tekao, inoffering to assist financially and inother ways during the present crisis.The Minister of Finance (the Hon. W.Nash) said yesterday that in additionto an interest-free loan of £1000 forthe/durationof the war and 12 monthsthereafter, the tribe had offered £100as a gift to the Government. The tribehad also offered a six-wheeler dual-drive truck valued at £200 for mili-tary purposes. Its members were alsoprepared to patrol voluntarily, nightand day, the extreme northern coast-line, both east and west, and, finally,to do all in their power to increaseproduction on their "The spiritof co-operation and help thus shownby the members of the Maori race iscommendable and .much appreciated,"added Mr. Nash.Piano for Air Force.

Appeals which have been made todate for patriotic purposes haveshown that the response of the peopleof Wellington is as warm and generousas it was between 1914 and 1918.Apart from the cash donations theyhave made, they have answered ap-peals made by both the NationalPatriotic Fnnd Board and the Wel-lington Provincial Patriotic Council tomake gifts of pianos and other articlesto give added pleasure to the men atthe camps and the home defence sta-tions when they are off duty. Onlyrecently there has been a magnificentresponse to the appeal made by thesecretary of the National PatrioticFund Board for 34 electric irons forthe use of the Air Force trainees atRongotai. Today Mr. E. M. Bardsley.Hon. secretary of the Wellington Pro-vincial Patriotic Council, asked "ThePost" if it would make known theneed of a piano for the men at Rongo-tai. It may be that the response toprevious appeals for pianos for menin the Army training camps has ex-hausted the supply available in Wel-lington, but should anybody have apiano to present, or even lend, Mr.Bardsley will be pleased to hear of it.Wartime Apprenticeship.

The lack of apprentices in skilledtrades has been discussed, and waysand means considered for obtainingsome dispensation in conditions, saidMr. S. O. Dillon, when submitting theapprenticeship committee's report tothe council of the Canterbury Cham-ber of Commerce, states the "Star-Sun." It has been resolved, added Mr.Dillon, that the associated chambers beasked to support the Employers' Fed-eration in a joint effort to secure somedispensation. It had been felt that ifthe Government were pressed, some-thing might be done to secure a varia-tion in conditions so that the LabourDepartment could deal with the mat-ter of allowing additional apprenticesto those capable of training and en-gaging them. Ifrepresentations weremade, and were successful, a great ser-vice would have been rendered themen engaged in training apprentices.It was certain that owing to the call-ing up of men more juveniles would fterequired in industry. The president(Mr. W. S. MacGibbon) said the pointwas being considered by the associatedchambers' executive.

of the Queen, but there will be nofiring of guns from Point Jerningham,as has been customary for the pastthree years. The explanation is thatno salutes are fired during wartime.Flags will be flown, however, on pub-lic buildings. ,The Lady ElizabethAngela Marguerita, daughter of the14th Earl of Strathmore and King-horne was born on August 4, 1900.On April 26, 1923, she married thesecond son of the then reigning KingGeorve V and became the Duchess ofYork On December 11, 1936, KingEdward VIII having, abdicated, theDuke of York became. King and theDuchess became Queen. The Corona-tion took place in the followingsummer.Britain and the Great War.

The twenty-sixth anniversary: OfGreat Britain's entry into-the GreatWar with her declaration of waragainst Germany falls tomorrow. OnJuly 28, 1914, Austria declared waron Serbia-, and on August 1 Germanydeclared war against Russia, and twodays later against France. On August10 France announced*herself at warwith Austria, and Britain followed suittwo days later. This alignment ofPowers developed on August 23, whenJapan declared war against Germany,and on November 5 Turkey openly al-lied herself with Germany and Aus-tria It was not until May, 1915, thatItaly joined the Allies.. At first shedeclared war only against Austria aridTurkey, but in October, 1915, Britain,France, and Italy declared war againstBulgaria, and Rumania entered thelists in the following August as theenemy of Germany, Austria, andTurkey.

One Way of Doing It.

The saving of money is an art thatis becoming more and more difficult ofattainment in these exacting times;but there is one citizen of Dunedinwho seems to have solved the problem,states the "Otago Daily Times." Heis a professional man, and, it wouldappear, more devoted to his profes-sion than to mere sordid money. Atany rate, he made a business trip toWellington recently, and employed alocum who proved to be more meticu-lous in his business methods than theabsent one. The newcomer's customwas to remove the cash drawer fromthe till each evening and review it inmore private surroundings. And so.after a busy first day; he wrestled withthe cash drawer, bullied it into com-ing hi? way, investigated the cause ofits unwillingness—and lo and behold!found a conglomeration of bank notes.There was more than £30 in goodmoney behind that drawer, andtwo-cheques carrying 1931 dates; Thatis the story behind a glad home-comingof a few days ago. No doubt it willinspire other possessors of tills, to ex-plore in the hope that they, too, areunconscious hoarders.Tree Surgery.

"■' Modern methods of tree surgery areat present being used by the reservesdepartment of the Christchurch CityCouncil in combating decay. An expertin this particular line, Mr. R. P. Miller,of Niagara Falls, Canada, is super-vising the work. Frequently, rottedtrees show no signs of decay at ail.Mr. Miller explains this by pointingout that water lodges in the fork ofa tree where there might be a smallcrack. A frost comes, freezes thewater, and widens the crack. Decaythen sets in, which is not visible fromthe outside. In these cases all( thedecay has to be removed if it has notgone too far. The tree is then treatedagainst further decay with preserva-tive and then the hole,is packed witha:.special composition of cement, con-taining casein. This cement is manu-factured in the North Island. -.Thesystem being used in Christchurch isan approved method adopted by someof the greatest authorities in Americaand England. jNo Municipal Taxation

A clear indication that there was nointention to .tax municipal trading con-cerns was given in a letter from theMinister of Finance (the Hon. W. Nash)read at a meeting of the councilof theCanterbury Chamber of Commerce,states the "Star-Sun." The Ministerstated that private companies wereprimarily profit-making investmentsfor the shareholders, while local bodytrading undertakings, on the otherhand, were carried on for the benefitof the local community, and the rate-payers were frequently required,through the rates, to provide the capitalto establish those concerns and enablethem to carry on. Any profit madewas returned to the community in aidof rates or by reduced charges. Theposition regarding municipal tradingundertakings was not analogous to thatof State trading departments, as theformer were rendering service to thelocal community, while the latter were,in general, countrywide-in their scopeand in direct competition with privateenterprise. For those, and other rea-sons, it was not proposed at present totax municipal trading concerns.

Good Fishing at Bluff.July was the best month the fishing

industry at Bluff has experienced formany years! The catch by Bluff fisher-men exceeded 300 cases, and more than3000 cases (about 100 tons) have beencaught by Stewart Island fishermen.This was not the best rrionth of theyear for the island, as in April thecatch was slightly greater. At thepresent time the men have to go fur-ther afield, and this would explain thedifference in the catch, as the weatherin July was even better than in April.The fish freezing, chambers at the coolstores are now practically filled tocapacity, but the position will be easedwithin the next few days by theamount carried by intercolonial steam-ers. With the exception of one day,the weather was suitable for oysteringevery day last month. The StewartIsland Canneries' trawler was out on3r days of the month, obtaining a re-turn which is claimed to be a record.The remainder of the fleet were ableto go out whenever necessary to fulfilorders and good returns were obtainedby all the boats. These will help tocompensate for the poorer returnsearlier in the season.

Memorial to Air Ace.

A lasting memorial to New Zea-land's first air ace of the war,' thelate Flying. Officer Edgar Kain, hasbeen installed at Marton in the trans-formation of the lane and area form-erly known as the gasworks reserveinto a beauty, spot henceforth to becalled the Kain Memorial Avenue. Theavenue consists of forty floweringcherry trees the planting ceremony ofwhich took place on Wednesday, andhas a background of native trees, anumber of which were a contributionfrom the Wellington Beautifying So-ciety, The trees were planted by theMayor and Mayoress (Mr. and Mrs. F.Purnell), councillors and their wives,ex-councillors, and others present. Eachwill have his or her name attachedto the tree, and all names will beentered in a book as a lasting re-cord. " The Mayor afterwards enter-tained the gathering at afternoon tea.The ground was prepared for plantingby Mr. W. G. Tolley, sen., with theassistance of a small band of enthusi-asts. Mr. Tolley has been responsiblefor other beautifying work voluntar-ily undertaken in the borough. In re-porting the ceremony the Rangitikei"Advocate" remarked that when thecherry trees are in blossom againstthe, evergreen behind they will con-vert what hitherto has been an eye-sore into a place of beauty and rest-•fiiir-.cicc |

THE NEW TAX

NATIONAL SECURITY

WHAT IT IS AND WHO PAYS IT

Couched in necessarily official andunambiguous terms, a notification has■been given by the Commissioner ofTaxes of the liability of persons and•companies for payment of the newNational Security Tax of Is in the £.This is in addition to the Is in the £tax for Social Security; the combinedtaxes are thus 2s in. the £ or 10 percent. Clear as tha language used inthe notification is, it may still bedifficult for some people, especiallythose with limited means and businessexperience, to understand. With aview to presenting the principal pointsin the notification in terms plainerthan those used, inquiries have beenmade in the proper quarter as to whatthis-new tax is and who has to pay it.Ferhaps it would have been betterto call it a "war tax" or "defence tax"'rather than a National Security Tax,confusing it with. "Social" Security.However, the docking of 2s, instead ofls'in every £ received by wage andsalary earners last week, was clearlyif painfully understood. There ap-pears to be no need to go into that,except to explain that the combinedcharge of 2s in the £ applied toamounts earned after. July 21, 1940.

Business-and professional men havenow seized the points in the notifica-tion and are discussing it, not withou*expressing some surprise at its retro-spective character—as they see it,and as applied to them.

What may not be so clear to every-one liable for this new tax is that ithas to be. paid—as the Social Securitytax has to be paid—on all income otherthan wages or salaries, and paid at thesanie' time. Such income may be de-rived from various sources and someof them are here mentioned:—

Dividends received from companieswhich themselves do not pay thesocial security tax; although thosecompanies which do pay, it usuallysay so on their dividend warrants.

Interest received on Post Office andother savings bank deposits and onother deposits. .

Income received from letting dwell-ings or subletting rooms, also fromboarders and lodgers.

Income received from any businessor manufacturing concern.

Income from farming, market gar-dening, fruit growing, beekeeping,poultry raising, and any income fromall sources of this kind. . •Dividends or profits from buildingsocieties must pay the tax.

In short, income from any source,excepting wages and salaries whichare taxed before they go into the payenvelope or are shown in the cheque,as the case may be, or other pay-ments smilarly taxed at their source.

This deduction of 2s in the £ takenoff wages and salaries began on July21; but the 2s in the £ in respectof other income commences "in respectof such income derived during the yearended March 31, 1940," and on thatincome the new or national securitytax does not apply to the May• instal-ment; but it will apply to the otherthree instalments, which will be doublewhat they otherwise would be. Putin another way: income (not wages orsalaries") for the year ended March 31last amounted to, say, £80. For so-cial security tax for the full year thesum of £4 would have to be paid infour quarterly instalments of £1 each;but now that national security taxhas to be paid on August 1 the instal-mentwill be £2, and the same amountfor the instalments due in Novemberand February next.

Those liable to pay the combined so-cial and national security taxes of2s in the £ are companies, trustees,and all persons (male and female) whohave reached 16 years of cge; butpersons who are in receipt of war pen-sions in respect to total disablementare exempted, except in cases wherethey have earned wages or salaries,for on that income they pay the taxes.

If the amounts are not paid withinone month of the due date then apenalty of 10 per cent, is incurred.Payments may, however, be made inadvance.

The social security registration feeinstalment of 5s payable by all malesof 20 years and over who reside inNew Zealand—excepting those who areexempt—is also due on August 1. Allsuch persons, no matter who or whatthey are, must be registered under theSocial Security Act.

Any person who is in doubt on anypoint as to his or her liabilities forsocial security and/or national se-curity, taxcan obtain information fromany money-order office. But everyoneis advised to make inquiries as earlyas possible during this month ofAugust so as to avoid penalties forlate payments of amounts they, may beliable to pay during this month:.

GALLANT SACRIFICE

NEW ZEALAND AIRMAN

(From "The Post's" Representative.)LONDON, June 19,

His decision to head his aeroplanefor open country rather than crash ina residential district cost FlightLieutenant C. A. Washer (New Ply-mouth) his life. When the aircraftgot into difficulties, the New Zealand-er told his crew to jump by parachute.By the time open country wasreached it was too late for him to fol-low.

Many tributes have been paid tohim at Southampton, where he waswell known. A memorial service washeld at Almondsbury.

Flight Lieutenant Washer, who was29, joined the R.A.F. about ten yearsago, and served in England and Maltafor about four years, retiring with therank of. flight lieutenant. He thenjoined the Bristol Aeroplane Company.Limited, and for three years was aninstruttor at the Bristol Flying School,later becoming one of the company'stest pilots.

The "Western Daily Express" said:"As an exponent of flying techniquehe was a brilliant pilot, and his workhad attracted attention among expertflyers in Britain and abroad." *

RING AIDS FUND

An old wedding ring was the meansof adding 6s 6d to the National PatrioticFund recently. The ring belonged toan elderly pensioner and was broughtinto the National Patriotic FundBoard's gifts depot in Wellington byher daughter, who explained that hermother was anxious to make somecontribution to the fund and hopedthat she might do so through the ring.The ring, in accordance with the pen-sioner's wishes, was sold, and thepensioner has the satisfaction of know-ing that she has given 6s 6d to theNational Fund. A few weeks backanother lady handed in a new brassart vase at the gifts depot. This hasnot yet been disposed of; probably itwill be raffled later.

QUERY.

UNEQUAL TREATMENT

A strong protest against • unequaltreatment is made by "Time Our TurnCame." He states that the workingman receives full consideration fromthe Government in wage increases,family allowances, and free milkrations. "Not only that, but his chil-dren are being educated"to a sense oflack ofresponsibility in every form, sothat instead ofbeing born with a goodbackbone to be self-reliant and in-dependent (and the only way in whichcharacter can develop) they are nowborn with a huge wishbone, and everytime they wish the Government seesthat that wish comes true. In a sensethey are taught to believe they haverich relations in Parliament who haveunlimited wealth, who will see theyget all they want both now and later onwhen they are no longer young, withnot the slightest effort on their ownpart to play the game." The corres-pondent contrasts this with the treat-ment of contributors to the NationalProvident Fund. "I joined the fund,paying a weekly subscription of 2s lOdiuntil I became eligible at the age' of60 years to commencedrawing my ownmoney back again. This is not a pen-sion as the Government is pleased tocall it; it is money I saved through theyears to enable me to have a little tocall upon when I reached the age of60, just the same as drawing moneyout of the Post Office Sayings Bank.The Government now compels me topay out of the £1 I.draw 2s in taxmoney, leaving me only 18s. lamforced to live on an income less thanthe working man as the cost of livinghas now risen 10 per cent, since Maylast. Thus for £1 I. only receive 13sworth of goods and the working.manhas that made up to him in increasedwages, family allowance, not forgettingthe free milk ration for his children.I get no concessions whatever. lamnearly 70 years of age and have helpedto make this country the lovely land itis,-but we are only shouldered out ofthe way as useless now. Will notsome member of Parliament take upour cause and'see we get justice—asthe Social Security recipients, are letoff scot free; they do not pay any taxat all."

LONG-RANGE GUNSON FRENCH COAST

THREATENED BARRAGEOF BRITAIN

LONDON REACTION

NO SPECIAL ALARM CAUSED

(British Official Wireless.)

(Received August 3, 11.30 a.m.)RUGBY, August 2.

Some rather highly coloured ac-counts are circulating of multiplelines of artillery which have beenemplaced by the Germans along the'French coast with a view to bringingpart of the south-east coast of Eng-land under a concentrated -barrage.The range is quite feasible for bigmodern guns, and military circles inLondon show no particular surpriseand no special alarm at thesereports.

Under the present conditions storiesof this nature are not likely to havegone into circulation without the ap-proval of the German military authori-ties. They are undoubtedly a pic-turesque form of advertisement of theGerman preparations against Britain,but the extent to which they corres-pond with actuality is felt here to bemore questionable..The Germansmaybe trusted not to neglect the obviouspossibilities of long-range artillery—the use of which is equally open to theBritish—but they will also be aware <S.its. limitations in practice. Fire atcross-Channel range would not beaccurate. The guns themselves wearout quickly. Owing to the thicknessof the shell-case, the burst is relative-ly ineffective. Unless fire is quiteerratic, it would require to.be directedby air observation, and aircraft in-truding over the British coast wouldnot be treated by the R.A.F. with anyspecial lenience. .

For these' and other reasons long-range bombardment of the Englishcoast is regarded by competent, circleshere as expensive, uneconomical, andrather ineffective.

We have been thinking today abouta report published in the "New YorkTimes" from its correspondent inVichy who says that the Germans arebusy putting long-range artillery allalong the Belgian coast from Boulogneto Dunkirk, with the idea apparentlyof putting up a -barrage across theEnglish Channel, -r- There■• may =.be agerm of truth in the report. The Ger-mans certainly- have got guns alongthe coast, but it was stated in Londontoday that they are nothing like thenumber suggested in the "New YorkTimes" report,, and that unless theGermans have some type of long-rangegun of which we are not aware theyare likely to be quite ineffective forbombarding our coast.

For a shell to be fired in this wayit has to have a tremendous chargebehind it, and to stand up to thischarge it needs very thick walls. Infact, it has almost to be a solid blockof steel, and can have only a smallamount of explosive inside it, so thatwhen it bursts the explosion' is com-paratively light. Another point is thegreat expense of firing heavy artil-lery. Apart from the cost of the shells,the wear and tear on the guns them-selves is heavy. Their life probablywould not be much more than a hun-dred rounds. So, after thinking overthe matter, we a/c not very frightenedhere that the Germans are going to re-duce our coast to dust and smoke inthis way.

CRITICISM IN COMMONS

WAR SOCIAL SURVEY

HOUSE-TO-HOUSE CANVASSDEFENDED


RUGBY, August 1An interesting debate took place in

the House of Commons tonight on thequestion of the war social survey ofBritain which is being conducted byinvestigators making house-to-housevisitations at the instance of the Min-istry of Information. The main criti-cisms were that such action was an in-vasion of the privacy of the ordinaryhouseholder and housewife.

The process was described by onespeaker as "snooping and spyingaround the homes of citizens." Hesaid that members of Parliamentthemselves were quite competent torepresent public opinion as revealedin their constituencies.

On the other hand, some memberscongratulated the Ministry of Infor-mation on adopting a new and scien-tific method of social survey to dis-cover the opinion of British people,stating that it was not a novel idea,having been successfully used formany years by the 8.8.C. and thePost Office.

Lady Astor said that many ordinaryhousewives were leading very anxiouslives at present, and answering ques-tions gave them something to talkabout.

The Minister of Information, Mr.Duff Cooper, said it was of the great-est value to the Government to knowthe state of mind and condition of thepeople. For two and a half monthsthe system of obtaining informationhad been in active operation, and therehad been only one complaint. Infor-mation of great value was being ob-tained by a method which was work-ing well and caused no perturbationin-the public mind.

The Minister said that the informa-tion obtainable through members ofthe House was. limited. Its accuracyand modernity were limited and thequalifications of members of the Com-mons were limited.

"The campaign of criticism is aPress stunt," Mr^ Cooper said. "Ifthere are snoopers in the world theyare employed by the Press. Unhappywould be the',Government if it reliedsolely on the Press for information.The investigation began in the middleof May. Ido not blieve*4oe surveyis disturbing the popular mmd, andI advise the Government to continueit"

NAZI "BOMPHLETS"

HITLER'S PEACE SPEECH

DROPPED IN ENGLAND

SALE FOR RED CROSS

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)

(Received August 3, 9 a.m.)LONDON, August 2,

German planes late last nightdropped over the south-east andsouth-west of England thousands ofleaflets containing Hitler's speech inthe Reichstag on July 19.

The leaflets were apparently en-closed in large brown-paper parcelswhich opened some distance fromthe ground. They bore a completeEnglish translation of Hitler'sspeech, under the heading "A lastappeal to reason by Adolf Hitler,"and suggested that the British pub-lic had no knowledge of the speech.

Police and members of A.R.P. squads,using torches, scoured the district andpicked up as many of the leaflets aspossible. One warden who collectedcopies said: "I am taking these tothe factory, and hope to sell them fora shilling and give the money to theRed Cross."

Leaflets were also showered overWelsh areas,falling into streams, fields,and roads.

(Daventry Broadcast.)LONDON, August 2.

In several districts today in thiscountry people have been busily col-lecting the leaflets dropped last nightby German planes. Most of themwere picked up during the night bypolice and air-raid wardens, and therehas been a lot of competition betweenpeople who wanted them as souvenirs.At least one town has been sellingthem in aid of the Red Cross, so onceagain the Germans have unconsciouslyhelped our war effort.

Incidentally, the containers of in-cendiary bombs are made of aluminiumand they have not been wasted.

The only snag about the leaflets isthat there is nothing new in them toencourage people .to buy them- Theycontain Hitler's last speech to theReichstag and suggestions that theBritish public have been told nothingabout it. In fact, the speech was ex-tensively reported in this country whenHitler made it, and we know all aboutHitler's previous declarations as well.This, week an illustrated paper pub-lishes extracts from them with typicalphotos of the Fuhrer in full blast. Thefirst extract is from the speech ofMarch 12, 1936, just after Germantroops had marched back into theRhineland, when he said that Germanyhad no intention of attacking France,Czecho-slovakia, or Poland. The secondspeech quoted was made on Septem-ber 26, 1938, when he said: "This isthe last territorial claim that I haveto make in Europe," and added: "Wedo not want any Czechs." The thirdspeech was on August 31 last year, onlynine hours before the invasion ofPoland. It contained the words: "Itis a lie when the outside world sayswe only try to carry out revision bypressure. Neutral States are assuredof their neutrality. ... I have declaredthat the frontier between France andGermany is a final one."

able in London, it appears that theaction of the British merchant cruiserAlcantara against a German raider be-gan at about 16,000 yards, which theAlcantara closed to 9000 yards, scoringhits meanwhile. The German raider,having scored a lucky hit on the Al-cantara's water-line, which pene-trated into the engine-room, droppedsmoke floats and turned away. Al-though no great damage was done tothe Alcantara, her speed was reducedto 10 knots, enabling the enemy toescape.

The German raider appeared to be avessel of between 8000 and 9000 tons,and had a dark-coloured hull, onestraight funnel, and two straight mastscarrying topmasts. She carried abroadside of four guns which seemedto be of 5.9in calibre.

NEW SYSTEM

CONTROL OF MUNITIONSPRODUCTION

CHAIN ORGANISATION

FULLEST USE OFINDUSTRY

(By Telegraph—-Press Association—-Copyright.)

LONDON, August 2.The "Daily Herald" says that

henceforth 13 Ministries of Supplyinstead of one will direct the pro-duction of munitions in Britain.Twelve junior Ministers of Supplywill be stationed at key-points inthe industrial districts and will im-mediately take over the active con-trol of important features of produc-tion from the parent Ministry.

The establishment of a chain or-ganisation, the newspaper says, is themain feature of the plans of theMinister of Supply, Mr. Morrison,for making full use of Britain's in-dustrial capacity. In effect thedetailed supervision of output,plant, and manpower, is being trans-ferred from Whitehall to the work-shops.

(British Official Wireless.)RUGBY, August 1.

Explaining the Government's newplans for the fullest employment of theindustrial capacity of the country inmeeting war requirements, the Parlia-mentary Secretary to the Ministry ofSupply, Mr. H. Macmillan, describedthe structure and functions of the newarea boards. Each of the 12 areaboards has six representativesof localindustry (three employers and threetrade unionists) and five official mem-bers representing each of the depart-ments mainly concerned, namely theSupply, Aircraft Production, and Lab-our Departments,' the Admiralty, andthe Board of Trade.

The chairman and vice-chairman arerepresentative either of the employersor the trade unionists. In three in-stances a trade unionist is chairman.

Mr. Macmillan said: "The newboards have the extremely- importantfunction of using their own knowledgeof local industry to ensure that itscapacity is fully employed, or, if itcannot be employed as it stands, thatits labour and plant are transferredto points where they can be used. Theboard will also be available to advisecontractors where best to place sub-contracts.

"One of the boards' duties will be tocarry out a complete inspection, ofmachine tools, following. the Ministryof Supply's recent census of machine-tool working hours. The boards will.beconcerned with the allocation of ca-pacity in their districts as between therequirements of the different Govern-ment supply departments and will beable to give advice when priorityquestions arise. The boards also willact as controllers of war productionin their areas if communications breakdown."

POLISH RESOURCE

STEAMER SAVED

ENGINEERING SKILL



RUGBY, August 2Another Polish merchant ship has

been preserved for further service inthe Allied cause through the deter-mination and skill of its officers andcrew. The Polish steamer Krornan(1864 tons) was lying at Dakar andhad been immobilised by the removalof a vital part of its machinery. Oneday last week the captain discoveredthat a number of Germans, who hadarrived at Dakar by air, wereplanningto. seize the ship. He determined toattempt to break out of the harbour toprevent the ship falling into, enemyhands. By improvisation and engineer-ing skill, the Kroman's engines weremade to work and the ship escapedthrough the harbour defences. Onreaching the open sea a course wasset for a British port. All this wasaccomplished although there were nocharts on board. The Kroman is nowsafe in a British port.

The captain has been personally con-gratulated by the naval authorities onthe courage, engineering skill, and fineseamanship displayed by him and hiscrew.

MOLOTOV'S SPEECH

COMMENT IN LONDON

MEANING NOT CLEAR

LONDON, August 2.London comment on the speech

of the Russian Premier, M. Mojotov,is concerned chiefly with hisreference to Soviet-British relations,which, he said, had not essentiallychanged.

While this viewis not entirely under-stood here, it is even more difficult toappreciate M, Molotov's statement thatBritish-Soviet,relations cannot be ex-pected to develop favourably becauseof the hostile acts committed by thiscountry against Russia. ,'

Although M. Molotov's version ofrecent history is not accepted by theBritish Government, there is no in-clination to enter into recriminationsabout the past, whether remote orrecent.

The main interest centres on M.Molotov's statement that the appoint-ment of Sir Stafford Cripps as Am-bassador to Russia probably does re-flect a desire*on the part of Great Bri-tain to improve relations with theSoviet Union. The comment here isthat the appointment was not probably,but certainly, an expression ofBritain'sdesire to improverelations with Russia.

MOSCOW, August 1.M. Molotov, in his speech, stated:

"The establishment of diplomatic rela-tions with Yugoslavia must be particu-larly emphasised. Our relations withBulgaria are normal-

"France, Belgium, and Holland havelarge colonies which they cannot de-fend as strongly as previously, and thequestion of a distribution of coloniesis therefore becoming more acute. TheImperialistic appetites are whetted,not only in Japan, but also in theUnited States, where covetous ama-teurs are dissimulating theirImperialistplans under the banner of anxiety forthe interests of the Western Hemi-sphere.

Three pilots of the originalCanadian fighter squadron engagedtwo German dive-bombers duringyesterday's encounters. A sergeant-pilot shot down one enemy planewhile protecting a convoy, and hiscomrades severely damaged the otherin a running fight over the sea. Allthe Canadians returned safely.

planes returned. . .An Air Ministry bulletin contains

details amplifying Jfce-referring to the raid on Cherbourg.Direct hits, it states, wrecked the han-gars, and heavy explosionsfollowedtheBlenheims*.salvos. There was^a large

number of enemy aircraft on the aero-drome. Bombs burst among them andothers pitted the landing ground..Bar-rack blocks in another corner of theairfield were damaged. One pilot,having dropped all his bombs, machine-gunned German aircraft on the ground.

Just before the R.A.F. bombers re-formed for the return journey onedived.to 50 feet, and put bursts into theGerman ground defences. Only oneGerman fighter appeared. It followedthe Blenheims for a mile or two asthey flew-home, but only a few shotswere exchanged. 'Anti-aircraft firewas intense throughout the action, andsome of it, from coastal batteries, fol-lowed the formation for several milesout to sea on the return journey.

NAZI IMAGINATION.Once again, a German High Com-

mand communique, referring to thisraid, has had to resort to a quite ficti-tious account. The Germans claimthat "Through our fighters going upin time and heavy anti-aircraftfire theysucceeded in bringing down all eightenemy planes'—three by Messer-schmitss and five by anti-aircraft fire."As already announced, only three oftheBritish bombers are missing.

An Air Ministry communique statesthat R.A.F. bombers yesterday madedaylight attacks on the aerodromes ofLeeuwarden and Haamstede in Hol-land.A hangar was hit and enemy, air-craft rnachihe-gunned on the ground.One of the British aircraft is missing.

Bombers during the night attackedsynthetic oil plants at Gelsenkirchen,Kamen, Homburg, and Reishblz," nearD.usseldorf, the Krupp works, at -Essen,supply depots ait Hamm, Frefeld, andMannheim, and several aerodromes innorth-west Germany-.

THREAT TO INDIES

DEFENSIVE ARMY

STRONG COASTAL BATTERIES


MELBOURNE,August 2.According to a Dutch rubber official,

Mr. J. A. Schiotling, from Sarawak,who arrived from Java aboard a cargovessel today, Japan is' expected to at-tempt penetration of the Dutch EastIndies.

He contended that such an attemptwould meet with little success, as apowerful army, well trained and thor-oughly vigilant, was ready to dealwith an invaderand the utmost precau-,tions had been taken to cope with airraids. Mr. Schiotling added that thecoastline was bristling with shore bat-teries. ■

SOUTH SEA AREAS

NO DETAILS YET

OTHERS BESIDES INDIES

TOKIO, August 2,

The spokesman of the Foreign Office(Mr. Suma), when questioned regard-ing the meaning, of a "greater EastAsia" in the- Foreign Minister's state-ment yesterday of Japan's nationalpolicy, replied: "I can definitely say itincludes the South Sea areas. How-ever, concerning an enumeration of thedistricts to be included in that expres-sion I cannot say at present."

Asked if the Philippine Islands wereincluded in the "South Seas," Mr. Suma jreplied: "I must postpone an enumera-tion of the areas till a later date." Fur-ther questioned, he'replied; "The DutchEast Indies do not comprise all theSouth Seas areas. There are otherregions." :

"HOTBED OF ESPIONAGE."The "Asahi Shimbun" says the

Japanese gendamerie authorities areindignant over the "fabricated ver-sions" given by British Embassy offi-cials of the case of the journalist, Mr.Cox. It says the Embassy is open tosuspicion that it is a hotbed ofBritishespionage in Japan.

The "Nichi Nichi Shimbun" says itis doubted whether the British willeasily enforce the reported retaliatorythreats such as the arrest of Japaneseresidents in England, abrogation of theAnglo-Japanese commercial treaty,withdrawal of the Ambassador from jTokio, or reopening the Burma Road,1because of the present internationalsituation. !

The former Ambassador to Italy, Mr.Shiratori, visited the Premier, PrinceKonoye. The Press conjectured thathe might be appointed to the post ofassistant to the Foreign Minister, Mr.Matsuoka.

SUSPENSION OF EXECUTIVE

(Received August 3, 8 a.m.)SYDNEY, August 2.

The Federal executive of the Aus-tralian Labour Party tonight suspendedfrom office all officials and membersof the New South Wales executive ofthe Labour Party and decided to createa new State executive.

There will now be three distinctLabour parties in this State to con-test the nextFederal Election—the newofficial party, the party led by the ex-pelled executive, which will probablybecome a new industrial party, andthe Lang Non-Communist breakawaygroup.

The reasons for the dissolution ofthe State executive are alleged dis-loyalty to the Federal;executive, whichhas the over-riding influence in theAustralian Labour movement, damag-ing propaganda, and derogatory criti-cism of Federal politicians who votedwith the Federal Government. on theNational Security Bill. .

HOPE OF SETTLEMENT

(Received August 3, noon.)

SYDNEY, This Day.The Federal Labour Party executive

held another meeting late last nightand decidedthat the suspensionsshouldnot become effective until after August16. On that date it is proposed that theprincipal officers of the Federal execu-tive, with the Leader of the Opposition,Mr. J. Curtin, and the Premier ofQueensland, Mr. Forgan Smith, shalladdress the suspended members.

Federal officials hope that themajority of the suspended memberswill then decide to remain loyal tothe Federal Labour Party, in whichcase they would probably be appointedto the new official State executive

Whiledoing so, the German aircraft was.hitby the defensive armament of theHighlander and was seen to crash intothe sea in flames 100 yards astern ofthe ship. : :

"Ten minutes later the Highlander;was attacked by another German air-craft. Bombs again missed. As the

NEW PRESIDENT

NATIONAL PARTY

MR. A. GORDON SUCCEEDSCOLONEL WESTON

(Special to the "Evening Post.")

DUNEDIN, August 2.Consequent upon the resignation of

Colonel C. H. Weston, K.C., from theoffice of president of the New ZealandNational Party, the position of headof the Opposition organisation outsidethe House is now held by Mr. A. Gor-don, Hamilton.

Mr. Gordon is a young man andshould bring to the party both a youngman's outlook and younger ideas inthe political sphere.

In a message to party units on as-suming office, he states:

"The future of the National Party

will be determined by our willingnessto learn and turn to account our ex-periences of the past. We have learnedduring the last four years, and particu-larly during recent months, the im-portant part the Government of thecountry can play in regulating, order-ing, and controlling the lives of its citi-zens. "Today the Government touchespractically every sphere of our lives,and we must recognise that this stateof affairs is likely to continue, withlittle diminution, even when the waris over.

"The economic life of the communityis constantly changing. Guided and in-spired by principles of Christian truth,wise legislation should relate our eco-nomic life to the need and conditionsof the times. . Peace, security, and pros-perity for all citizens and the welfareof air people should be the underlyingprinciples of good government.

"Today many people are aware thatall is not well with our political andeconomic system. The need for somechange is widely recognised. Duringthe turmoil of war a new workablesystem, suitable to the present, thoughtsand desires of our people, has to behammered out, so that when the waris over all sections of the communitywill be able to enjoy that fuller andbetter life which is so obviously pos-sible if only the necessary frameworkand organisation can be established."

ARMADALE DOCKED

EXTENT OF DAMAGE

BITUMEN ESCAPES FROMHOLD

ANCHOR LEFT BEHIND

The motor-ship Armadale, which wasdamaged in a collision with the tankerOle Jacob in Cook Strait on Wednes-day night, went on the floating dockthis morning. As the Armadale wasmoved from her berth at Aotea Quay

into the dock she left, behind a trailof floating bitumen from her damagedcargo. This spread across the har-bour's surface for practically the wholelength of,Aotea Quay. In the dock thegreenish-black fluid oozed from thegash in the Armadale's, side, and big

screens of scrim werespread across thesurface of the water to prevent itfloating out of the dock into ihe har-bour. As the dockrose, however, greatdifficulty was experienced in dealingwith the outpour.

As. the Armadale -rose oat cr thewater, members of the crew climbeddown into the previously flooded por-tion of the hold to look for salvage-able cargo. This was a precarious task,for ladders and hand ,and foot holdswere slimy on account of oiJ.

When there were but a few inchesof water in the dock proper and thelast stragglers of large shoals of her-rings had wriggled into the harbour,it was seen that the damage to theArmadale, although of imy -ng dimen-sions, consisted of a fairly clean-cutgash—without complications. Cargobattens were snapped and bitumendrums were squashed.

One of the Ole Jacob's arichors atpresent lies on the bottom of the Arma-dale's hold, together with a length ofchain. The tanker's naked bow clear-ly saved the Armadale from being cutright through, for although she wasrun through almost from side to sidea few feet below her deck, her bottomwas barely damaged. ■

HELP FOR BRITAIN

WHY NOT SENDMONEY?

SUPPLY OF BOMBERS

MR. DOIDGE'S SUGGESTION

(Special to the "Evening Post.")

FALMERSTON N., This Day."People in New Zealand are puzzled

concerning our war effort. It is asthough we watched the war fromanother planet," said Mr. F. W. Doidge,M.P., when addressing an audience ofseveral hundreds at Palmerston North.

The speaker went on to say thatthroughout the country there was .aburning desire to help Britain. Morethan fifty thousand men had volun-teered for service overseas; hundredsof thousands of pounds had been con-tributed to patriotic funds. Yet a feel-ing of frustration prevailed. Britain'sdanger was far greater than in the lastwar; yet New Zealand was doing lessto help the Motherland than in 1914----18

"It is not the fault of the Govern-ment that we have sent away only twoechelons consisting of 13,000 men," con-tinued Mr. Doidge. "We all know thedifficulties that stand in the way ofdispatching troops overseas. But sure-ly there are other ways of helping Bri-tain We have just budgeted in Parlia-ment for an expenditure of £100,000,----000. The bulk of that is for peace-timeexpenditure in New Zealand. Surelywe can budget for Britain. If we can-not send men to Britain's aid, we cansend money. In war, the long purse isjust as important as the long sword.Instead of building broadcastingpalaces in New Zealand, let us buybombers for Britain."

"At Home," continued Mr. Doidge,

"the people fight and suffer and die;in Mr. Churchill's words, they give

blood and toil, and tears and sweat.Here the war leaves us untouched; welive in peace and tranquillity. Butthat does not mean that we in NewZealand are not breaking our heartsto help the Motherland. If providingthe sinews of war will help, how glad-ly we shall still further tighten ourbelts. How eagerly the women wouldwork if they knew that they wouldbe permitted to turn their patrioticefforts to the purchase of fighter planes.And there would not be a whimperfrom the taxpayer if the Governmentannounced its intention of making afree gift of 50 planes per month toBritain for the duration of the war."

"THE DOMESTICTARIFF"

CHARGES FOR POWER

"Inquirer" asks how the monthlyand two-monthly accounts for electric-ity used by private consumers aremade up: is the charge for lighting ateightpence a unit judged by the num-ber of lights? Does a person withfittings for-one, two, or three lightspay as much maximum rate as onewith eight or nine?

The electricity department's accountsfor domestic power are made up ona simple formula. The number ofliving rooms, less one, is multipliedby two, and the figure arrived at is

the number of units charged at thelighting rate (Bd, less discount). Thusfor a five-roomed house eight lightingunits are charged, for six rooms tenunits for seven rooms twelve units,and so on, with a minimum of eightunits. All units registered on thesingle meter above the calculated light-ing units are charged at the low powerrate whether used for radiators, radio,ironing, or lighting. Only living andmain' rooms are taken into account;

bathrooms and the like are not counted.Before the last war lighting and

heating used for domestic purposeswere metered separately, but, largelybecause of short supply of meters, thesingle meter system was adopted, andan examination of many accountsshowed that the calculationgiven abovewas very near the mark in privatehomes. The saving in meters m a

city with Wellington's population is

very great, and the system is simpleenough. Water heating is, of course,outside, the "domestic tariff." as thearrangement is generally styled. Busi-iness tariffs are also different.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS

FIRST QUARTER

REVENUE MUCH HIGHER

EXPENDITURE DROPS

Details of the finances of theConsolidated Fund for the firstquarter of the current financial year,as revealed,today by the Minister ofFinance (the Hon. W. Nash) showthat the revenue for the three monthstotalled £8,385,058, an increase of£998,174 over the correspondingperiod last year, and that expenditurewas £7,282,306, which is £257,578less than for the corresponding periodlast year. The net result is asurplus for the quarter of £1,103,000.

The Minister explained that theseresults-were, of course, subject to thequalification that the whole of the ex-penditure on defence was- now, interms of the War Expenses Act, 1939,paid out of a separate . account, theWai' Expenses Account, whereasduring the first quarter of last financialyear expenditure totalling £321,701.was met out of the Consolidated Fund.

A comparative statement of the re-venue is as follows:—

"On a percentage basis," said Mr.Nash, "it will be seen from the fore-going results that for the first quarterof this financial year 24 per cent, ofthe estimated revenue from taxationfor the whole year has now been re-ceived, compared with 20 per cent, forthe corresponding period of last finan-cial year, while a similar margin,namely, 23 per cent., as against 19 percent., applies in respect of the totalrevenue. The substantial variation inCustoms duty is due to the impositionof,an additional 4d per gallon duty onmotor spirits imposed in September|last, while the other variations are, onthe whole, normal." •

EXPENDITURE.A comparative summary of the net

expenditure to date is as follows:—Permanent Appropriations— Percentage

"It will be seen from these returns,"said Mr. Nash, "that oh a comparativebasis, the results to date approximatevery closely to the position last year,which, it will be recalled, closed witha satisfactory surplus. The percent-age variation in regard to the item'exchange' is due to the fact that sub-stantial remittances were made to theHigh Commissioner for New Zealandin the early part of last year, in an-ticipation of requirements, whereassimilar advance remittances have notbeen made this year.

"The compWative reduction in re-gard to the item 'other services' is duealmost entirely to the fact that forthe first quarter of last financial yearthe sum of £750,000 was transferredfrom permanent appropriations to theSocial Security Fund, whereas thisyeara similar transfer, but of £400,000,was charged against annual appropria-tions ('social services'). These adjust-ments also affect the comparison .inregard to the last-mentioned headingas between the two quarters.

"The net position to date is thus asurplus in Consolidated Fund revenueover expenditure of £1,103,000,"Mr.Nash added, "it is too early, of course,to forecast the results for the wholeyear. The present indications, how-ever, are entirely satisfactory and in-dicate that the Budget estimates arebeing closely adhered to. The usualdetails, which will include also thetransactions of the War Expenses Ac-count and the Social Security Fund,will be published as a supplement tothis week's Gazette.

BATTLE CONDITIONS

MARCH IN AUSTRALIA

AIR FORCE TO ATTACK

VALUABLE EXERCISES

(By Trans-Tasman Air Mail, from"The Post's" Representative.)

SYDNEY, July 31.Creating battle conditions, Royal

Australian Air Force planes will "dive-bomb" and "strafe" nearly 5000 A.I.F.troops while on the projected marchfrom Ingleburn to Bathurst. Thetroops will run for cover, and anti-aircraft and machine-guns will (theo-

retically) try to beat off the "attack-ing" planes.

The R.A.A.F. will co-operate in ex-ercise on a sectionof the route shortlyafter the troops leave the Ingleburncamp. Each detachment of troops asit passes through that sector will besubjected to "air raids."

These exercises will give most valu-able experience of battle conditionsto the A.I.F. men, as well as to theAir Force. The value of the troops'effort at concealment from the airwill be tested by photographs to betaken from the "raiding" planes, whichwill have the job first of locating themen. Anti-aircraft units, too, willbenefit from sighting practice onmodern dive-bombing technique.

AH communication facilities on themarch will be arranged by. Army sig-nal units—mainly by radio telephone,and dispatch riders. Individual unitsdoing fields exercises will use lampsand flags. Medical and ambulance de-tachments will accompany eachcolumn.It is expected that the whole con-

tingent will arrive and occupy thenew camp at Bathurst by the end ofAugust. The first detachment willleave Ingleburn on August 12, and ar-rive at Bathurst.about August 23. Forthe next eight days,Mother detachments,about 1000 strong, will be arrivingevery couple of days.

WESTERN ACCESS

GREAT IMPROVEMENT

ARGUMENT DOWN THE YEARS

COST ABOUT £60,500

The argument about, better access toKarori.that began in 1877 is over, forthe time b^ing, ended by the fact ofa real city improvement. But assured-ly so long-lived a controversy as thedispute over routes will come. again,when Karori doubles its present popu-lation. Then will be revived NorwayStreet, tunnels, new cable cars, andlifts, but the present City Council can •breathe easily and be pleased that sodifficult an access work in prospecthas turned out so well, and so sub- :stantially below . the estimated, cost.thanks largely to the co-operation of ,the Government . • . .

The earliest, agitations for betteraccess were rather mumblings in .'the 1beard than organised movements. The <real argument began about 1912, when ]Hill Street was. recommended by a ]commission of three engineers ap- :pointed by the council. Nothing :happened in Hill Street. . ■ ' . ,

Norway Street ana ttaroa Road, were ■suggested, and the proposal to pur- ;chase the Kelburn cable car followed•hard, but the ratepayers said no. _

In 1923 the City Engineer, Mr, W.- HMorton, recommended a Bowen Streetroute, roughly on the lines of the. newroad today. Ideas came to the councilfrom a. dozen directions: the argument ■was wanning up.

In 1928 the Access Commission wasasked by the council to settle the dis-pute and reported upon a dozen plans,east and west, confirming Mr. Morton'searlier Bowen Street plan and recom-mending Norway Street as a later de-velopment. The eastern suburbs gotin first with their Mount Victoriatraffic tunnel and diplomatic relationswere very nearly broken off.

GOVERNMENTS SAY NO.After that the western suburbs dug

in. for results, and the City Councilsprofessed agreement. :The Govern-,

ments did not—they, flatly, refused per-mission for tramcars in Bowen Street,having heard them in;, other, streets.The ratepayers' organisation came mon-the legal side, and squelched alikely start on a question of principle.An attack on trams!ashrams compli-cated the squabble. Again nothingpractical happened. .

TAKING THE BULL IN HAND.It was Mr. G. A. Troup (now' Sir

George) who, as Mayor, took hold m1929. Although the Government stillwithheld permission to send trainsthrough Bowen Street,-.,Mr. Troup ob-tained Government money for the bigSydney Street cutting', at the TinakoriRoad end. That work' cost £ 19,548,and 44,000 cubic yards of. jock arid claywere taken away (more than doublethe amount shifted to finish thb workat the Bowen Street end, 18,000 cubicyards).. At about.this time, too, Quin-ton's Corner was taken over by theGovernment and City Council, actingtogether, and the war memorial sitewas established. The cost of this washeavy, but by general agreement, it isnot mentioned when western accesscosts are .reckonedup; but the.remodel-ling of Qumton's Corner certainly.didhelp.

" . ."■_.•.: V, ~THE GOVERNLIENT AGREES.

From 1929 to 1935 plans were drawnand redrawn, and requests to the Gov-ernment for permission to lay downtram tracks were turned. down in arow, till the present Government gavethe word to go ahead and facilitatedthe going by becoming responsible forprivate properties which were in theway and a rearrangement of streetsround the old museum grounds.

Estimates of the cost of the BowenStreet route varied from year\to year.The 1928 Commission said £78,496;£97,343, £68,000,£73,000 were other

' estimates.The approximate actual cost has been

£60,500,of which £19,500 went in thebig Sydney Street cut of 1929, £21.500for the lower end, £2500 for paving,and £17,000 for tramway work.

The disturbance of graves in the oldBolton-Sydney Streets Cemetery wasalways .an objection to the route.

! Earlier plans had suggested that asmany as 280 graves would have to bedisturbed. In fact none was disturbed.

•The work is not finished, for theplans have recently been elaborated toinclude walling to support the face of■ the cemetery. Sooner or later thiswouldhave become necessary to complete

1 the roadway, in appearance as wellas> in safety against slips. . ■ 'The roadway is of standard width,

1 42 -feet, with one footpath, 7ft 6in, un-fortunately, like more city footpaths,necessitating crossing road traffic bypedestrians. The tramway distancefrom Lambton Quay to Tinakori Roadis just half a mile, compared with. amile and a quarter to the same pointby the old route. ... . ■

Apart from access improvement, therearrangement of street lay-out andthe rebuilding planned about the oldjMuseum Street locality will, later, on,bring about a great improvement of!this part of the city. It is alreadydifficult to think,back to the old Quin-ton's Corner, the dead-end BowenStreet, and the far steeper grade ofthe old narrow Museum-SydneyStreets road route. The grade thenwas 1 in 14, almost as steep -as theBrooklyn Road; now it is 1 in 19.

OLD SOLDIERS

PARADE THROUGH CITY

Several hundred Wellington re-turned soldiers, comprising No. 2Special Service Battalion ■" of theNational Service Reserve (Class 2) to-day made tlieir first public appearancein khaki for 25 years, when the bat-talion marched through the city afteran inspection parade at the WinterShow Buildings.

The battalionparaded at 1.30 p.m. andwas inspected half an hour later byColonel R. A. Row, D.5.0., Officer Com-manding the Central Military District.During the march through, the city toKent Terrace, where the salute wastaken by Colonel Row, the route waslined by people and the fine bearing ofthe men was the subject of comment.

DEDICATION OF HIGH CHIEF

At the morning service at The Ter-race Congregational Church tomorrow,the newly-appointed High Chief ofRarotonga,■ Cook Islands, will- attendwith her family to dedicate herself. toher responsible duties... This is Mrs.Love, whose , native name is ■Takau,Makea Nui Ariki, of Rarotonga.' Takauwas elected in the. place: of; herfather, who died recently. It isfitting that this service, shouldtake place at a CongregationalChurch, because of the close, connec-tion that theLondon Missionary Societyhas had for 100' years with the moraland material development of the CookIslands.

NOTES ON THE WARNEWS

JAPAN AND BRITAIN

THE TOKIQ ARREaiS

"SPYING" AND FACTS

The creation of Japan's "newpolicy" in Asia has been.-fol-lowed'by"-a series of arrests ofBritish subjects, some-of-themlong' resident in Tokid, the rays-terious death of Mr, MelvilleCox, Reuters manager .--in the;.Far East, and allegations that aBritish "spy ring" exists in the

: ' country. • " ; . ;-. ' /

Charges Seem Fantastic. ,To Britons these charges seem fan-

tastic. They cannot conceive that meftof standing and long. experience ,inbusiness should be members of a ."spyring." But the work'of the "spy ring'has been given as only one ;of thereasons for the action taken by theJapanese military authorities. Anotherwas stated to be "the ever-increasinglactivity' of foreign organs," of whichthere is considerable evidence.- In Japan, since the European warbegan,- there has been a "white' war"between the representatives of thedemocracies and the totalitarian.Powers. Neither' side has forgottenhow the United States was won to theside.of the Allies in 1917, in part byanti-German propaganda. In the last .war,: as in this, of course, the. Alliesneeded no tpropaganda stronger thanthe Germans' actions. ■ Such things asthe. disregarding of' the promise to theUnited States Government not to mur-der non-combatants at sea, and theplot to draw Mexico into the war,would have been enough to make th*Americans act. But propaganda pos-sibly hastened that action. •A Lively Battle.

Consequently there has been a livelybattle in. Japan with the written andspoken word,'with films and radio andtypewriter, almost since; Germany at-tacked Poland. Both British, and Ger«man Embassies issue daily news bulle-tins in several languages. Thesereports are received by radio and areprepared early, each morning for dis-patch to a selected list of persons. Thenews circulated is not necessarily fromtheir own countries;, it includes itemsfrom abroad.,.. , . ...

The British Embassy has been plan-ning to establish a Library ;of Cul-tural Information in Tokio to makeaccessible information on Britain andthe■Empire and to foster relations be-tween the two countries. The Ger-mans receive propaganda films ofwhich they give private showings. TheFrench Embassy, before the fall ofFrance, was rather curiously makingno'effort to present the point of viewof its nation, but was giving informa-tion only, to those who -sought it.

Poland As Well.Even Poland has carried on.the work

of propaganda. The Polish : Govern-ment is no longer on Polish soil, butJapan, has not withdrawn..recognitionfrom ii"and there*\is a'Pressi".bureauat the Embassy in .Tokio which hasbeen.passing on,radio reports receivedfrpm the Embassy in Bucharest and.the Legation in' Budapest, which inturn collect their news from agentsstill in Polarid. Japanese are said tohave a warm regard for the-Poles.

The'attitude of the Japanese towardsthe European conflict may?be stated'asone of nonrinvolvement. ", They havetheir troubles nearer .' home. , ButPress, comment on such things .as thesinking of the Japanese liner Teru-kurii Maru by a mine off'the Englishcoast near Harwich, showed: that Brit-ain was riot ijsolved from blame, be-cause it. was believed that the minewhich sank the ship was'."..not floatingbut anchored, and might have, beenin a British minefield. .

■' .* ■ ■ * ■•'■■.■'■Curious Arg-uments.

Itwas rather curiously argued, with,complete disregard of British prac-tice and of international law,, that theBritish fields weresecr%t,-andalso thatif the,mine had broken away (whichwas already declared to be impossible)its failure to sink at once was an-other breach of international law. Ac-tually, neutral newspapers have been,able to publish maps of British mine-fields. Finally, it was declared thatthe Germans could not have laid themine, because the British Navy couldnot have allowed a German pocket-battleship, for instance, to escape tothe English' coast" and deposit a minethere. The mines, as. we know, andas the Japanese Press should haveknown too, were laid by submarinesand by aeroplanes.

The accusations of spying are un-pleasant, but perhaps not so difficultto account for as might be thought. Itis the universal practice of countries toobtain information from representativesabroad. This information heed hotbe sent to the Government, it may becollected without, thought of beingused'by any Government, but be ofuse industrially.

Processes and Materials.The textilemanufacturers ofBritain,

for example, would be interested in anew process in Japan or the experienceof the Japanese in attempts to manu-facture new kinds of material or touse new types of yarn. The ship-builders of Britain would similarly beinterested in a new welding process,or a variation in shipbuilding tech-nique. If that technique were beingemployed on a warship the cry ofespionage might be raised at once ifthe Government discovered that it wasknown abroad.

In normal times the study of a coun-try's'industry and of its operations istaken fairly calmly. A very thoroughreport on Japanese industrial capacity-was prepared some years ago, forexample, and this was done by twomembers of' the staff of the BritishEmbassy in Tokio. But in times ofstress anything that looks like beinguseful to a foreign country is jealouslyguarded.

Naval Building.Moreover, news does" leak out. "Th«

new edition of "Brassey's Naval An-nual" has detailed information aboutthe supposedly secret Japanese navalbuilding programme. The. AmericanSenate and , the recent Secretary, tothe' United States Navy.both have de-tailed'knowledge of the'size arid prob-able armament,of .some, of the four newJapanese: super-battleships, concerningwhich there.has been no officia.l st^te*me'nt whatever." It is $asy.'tosee whateffect, such! things- as these might haveoh a nation which has been almostmor-bidly-suspicious of spies for.years,past.

However, behirid the action againstBritish' people of standing and^of longresidence there is also another possi-bility. It was mentioned■in,a'Londoncablegram a day"or two whichsaid that Mr. .Matsuoka, the.new For~eign Minister, is an extremistand that"it is significant that his return, tooffice should be .followed.so•..quicklyby. anti-British, activities."

PUBLIC SERVICE

EFFICIENCY TESTS

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER

EXCEPTION TAKEN

association deplores the factthat the Public Service Commissionershould have seen fit to publish sucha provocative, and in some directionsmisleading, report "concerning theefficiency tests in the Public Serviceat a moment when, negotiations areproceeding between the Public Ser-vice Commissioner and the associationat the express request of the Prime

Minister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser), withthe object of endeavouring to find a

satisfactory solution," says the generalsecretary of the New Zealand- PublicService Association, Mr. F. W. Millar,in a statement made yesterday^ oh be-half of the executive.'

"It was laid down by the PrimeMinister at an- interview that in theevent of a failure to reach this com-mon satisfactory resolution- separaterepresentations were to be made byboth sides to himself, when Cabinetwould:determine exactly what was tobe done," continued the statement,"The representatives of the associationmaintain . that the understanding ar-rived at with Mr. Fraser and the Hon.D..Gi Sullivan was that all efficiency

were to.bepostponed in the mean-time. . - - ■ .

"The first sign of cleavage betweenthe Public Service Cqmmissoner. andthe association after these arrange-ments'wereagreed to was the astonish-ing statement by the. Public ServiceCommissioner that the efficiency testsfor ttie general division had not beensuspended* although neither by wordnor inference had 'any reference beenmade at the interview to. exclusionfrom suspension of those tests. Thegeneral secretary immediately com-municated with the Prime Minister,pointing out that any question of asection of the efficiency tests beingproceededwith when the whole matterwas to be considered de novo seemedto create an, impossible position, andasked for the..Prime Minister's inter-pretation of the decision arrived at.The Prime Minister's; reply was to theeffect that iV was . agreed that the•whole question of-- efficiency testsshould be discussed at the conference,;and he considered the point raisedwas one for discussion at the confer-ence. He felt sure an amicable agree-ment could be reached acceptable toall. -Although the proceedings be-tween the Public Service Commis-sioner-and the association are pro-gressing satisfactorily on the whole,the Public, Service Commissioner isstill-persisting in proceeding withhisexaminations for the general division,.so the view of the Prime Minister hasSp far proved optimistic. ■

SCOPE OF OPPOSITION."One of the comments in the report

to which the association takes strong.exception—'lt■ will be not unknownthat the project, as it concerns theclerical and professional divisions, hasriot been without some opposi-tion, . . .' This is most misleadingand verywrdiigly implies that our op-position has been confined Only, to effi-ciency tests for the clerical and pro-fe^6fi^group;s.tOdrhfe definitelyIs*not■•s'b^'' i Qur' Very..''strbng;' and; .. 'earnestopposition was, and is, related to allgroups—clerical, professional; and gen-eral. . The only differentiation we madeat any time between the professional,clerical, and general divisions was thaton the advice of our solicitors we ques-tioned: the legality of the Commis-sioner's method employed to introducethe tests for the clerical and profes-sional divisions, though there was somedoubt in the association's■mind as tothe legality of the regulations relatingto the tests for the general division,iegal points, however, at the sugges-tion of the Prime Minister, are notBeing pressed by the association inview of the negotiations.

"Inhis' Whole report the Public Ser-vice (Commissioner ignores the factthat there is an important proviso tothe association's, very strong opposi-1tioh to the efficiency tests. He makesno reference whatever to the fact thatthe .association's claim was for the'withdrawal of the efficiency tests intheir present form' and thereby pro-vides the false impression, that theassociation's opposition-is a stumblingblock to the maintenance and develop-ment of full .efficiency in the PublicService, . .

THE FIRST SYLLABUS. ;"The first syllabus for the efficiency

tests for the general division appearedin, March, 1939, and the examinationwas held in December, and yet a mere134 Public Service employees wereprepared to present themselves for ex-amination- under the conditions laiddown—not 1J per cent, of the "perma-nent staff; and most of these employeesiwere upon, or- close to, a salary bar-rier that had been imposed by *he jPublic Service Commissioner, beyondwhich, he proposed, employees couldnot proceed except by passing the effi-ciency tests.. There are over. 20,000public servants under CommissionercontroL -.over half that number beingpermanent employees, including thou-sands of general division employees,yet, on the results attained by thishandful of employees, he has com-placently proceeded at length, seem-ingly in an attempt.at justification ofthe introduction of the tests, to under-write the efficiency of th? whole of thePublic Service. He indulges in suchremarks as 'too great a number belietheir presumptive efficiency,' 'the self-satisfied,the unctuous, the lazy will re-sent 'it,' 'some were frankly toolethargic,' and so on. A different storythis is to that contained in some pre-vious reports where the efficiency ofthe Service Was extolled, and a fea-ture made that one out of every threeof the clerical and professional divi-sions possessed university degrees orlaw and accountancy examinations.: "A report to Parliament is, or-shouldbe, a well-considered and reasonabledocument.

"The most objectionable part of thereport, so far as the Public ServiceAssociation is concerned, is th'6lastsentence in the-following paragraph:'If isviibt an easy matter for the cen-tral personnel authority to ascertainwith exactitude what, is in the mindsof officers generally on any particularpolicy. The evidence of their ownorganisation-is always entitled- to theutmost -weight. ..In. this case the or-ganisation is strongly opposed to theinstitution of efficiency tests, and pur-ports to-represent itself as expressingthe views of the majority of its mem-bers>- Apart.from the fact that theorganisation says so,- wide inquiryboth by\ the- Commissioner personallyand by;his senior.officers has failed toelicit any evidence; that would evenGolourably. substantiate the claim thatthe-organisation makes.'

"This - last sentence is , gratui-tous assumption, and the execu-tive' .feels that it .is unwar-ranted attack on our associationand a- questioningof the good, faith ofits executive officers. At no time havewe approached the Government orCommissioner vthan we did not feelthat our representations were in keep-ing with -the opinion of the majorityof our members and in no instance was

this more so than in the case of ourobjection to the imposition of efficiencytests in the form proposed by the Com-missioner. Incidentally, the heaviestweight of protest came from publicservants who have the credentials en-couraged in the past—university, ac-countancy, and law professional—andwho were having further tests super-imposed upon them."

OPPOSITION AT HAMILTON

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)HAMILTON, August 2.

Strong resentment at being dubbedlazy and self-satisfied because theyopposea system of examinations whichthey regard as an-imposition on thewhole service was voiced by the Wai-kato section of the Public ServiceAssociation. . 'The local officers feel that to judgethe whole service on the results ofexaminations applying to only a smallproportion of the employees is mostunjust. Quite apart from the meritsor otherwise of the efficiency tests, theassociation has pressed for suspensionof them for the duration of1 the war.In their desire to assist in every pos-sible way under the existing, conditionsmany public servants are regularlyworking extended hours without pay-ment for overtime, and doing sovoluntarily -in response to: the Com-missioner's own, appeal to the servicefor its co-operation. As a result, com-paratively few new appointmentshave been necessary to replace those!officers,already over. 1200 in number,who are on active service, but theCommissioner cannot expect: to haveit both ways. While officers are work-ing regular overtime they cannot beexpected to find time for examinationstudies, and, if it comes to a choice,the administrationof State affairs'mustbe the first consideration.

GIFTS DEPOT

COMFORTS FOR TROOPS

RECEIVING AND SENDING

A LARGE-SCALE JOB

If a patriotic organisation is to bereally effective not only must it con-tinue to have the good will and sup-port of the community, but the organi-sation itself must see to it that con-tinuity of supplies of comforts for thefighting services is maintained. Thisdoes not allow for any slackening ofeffort, as the amount of work and re-sponsibility involved and the .volumeof comforts required are growing allthe time. Throughout the country,

ever since the departure of the SecondEchelon, preparations have been inhand : for the ■ building ;,up of furtherlarge stocks of goods, which from timeto time pass through the NationalPatriotic Fund Board's gifts depot inWellington, the clearing centre for theDominion.

The provision of gift parcels and,thepacking and . dispatch of themhas been a. big job, on itsown, for New Zealand now hastwo'echelons overseas and the. idea isto collect sufficient parcels of comfortsto enable one to be given to each man.This is what is officially known as theNational Patriotic Fund Board's "un-addressedgift parcels scheme." Itwasdesigned to ensure that every memberof the N.Z.E.F. overseas receives some-thing from this country from time totime. Unfortunately, the first, consign-ment of gift parcels from this countrydid not reach the First Echelon inEgypt, owing to the destination of theships in which they were.carried beingchanged after departurefrom New Zea-land. The Second Echelon got thoseparcels but since then it has beenpossible for tfte National ■• PatrioticFund Board to: send a fresh supply of.parcels for the First Echelon.

HUNDREDS OF CASES.Altogether, since the Second Echelon

left the Dominion,. 1494 cases of com-forts have been cleared from theboard's gifts store in Wellington. Thistotal comprised 1359 cases of gift par-cels, each case containing about 10parcels, 16 cases of malt, 13 cases ofwoollen goods, and 106 cases of fruitcake. Besides this the store has( alsodealt with further supplies. Some ofthe gift parcels received from outsidecentres havebeen packed in cases thathave been too large. They must be in

boxes the size'of kerosene cases. Be-cause some districts have sent theirparcels to Wellington in-: large casesinvolving the unpacking and. repack-ing of the contents this has added tothe amount of work that has'had tobe done.. Expert packers from variousfirms help to-lighten the work in thisconnection. They give their servicesvoluntarily. Recently at night sixpackers from one Wellington firmboxed and wired over 900 parcels inan hour and a quarter. They got theminto 92 cases.

In addition to its big store, the boardhas storage space in the old Welling-ton Central Library Building, andthere the final touches are put to thepacking of all the woollen goods, suchas balaclavas, scarves, and mittens. .

To protect these articles from attackby insect pests they are put into tin-lined cases. .■.;■■■•;■

Providing for large numbers of menin the way the National Patriotic FundBoard and the provincial patrioticcouncils are doing is certainly a big-scale job. Without the assistance thathas been given so readily throughoutthe country, notably by the women, itwould be a much greater task. TheNational Patriotic Fund Board is grate-ful for that help, and-knows that inits efforts to do the best for the menof the services it can count on a con-tinuance of support.

ALIEN GAOLED

LETTER GIVEN TO FRIEND

"VERY SERIOUS MATTER"

SECOND MAN FINED

An enemy alien who attempted tosend a letter to his father in Aus-tralia by means which would haveevaded the censorship was convictedand sentenced to 14 days' imprison-ment by Mr. J. L. Stout, S.M., in theMagistrate's Court today. Alexander■Hald, a company manager, aged 25,upon whom this sentence was im-posed, pleaded guilty, with GeraldO'Byrne, an accountant, aged 31, toattempting to evade the censorshipwith the letter, which was stated bythe police to be of such a nature thatin the interests of the country itcould not be read in open Court.O'Byrne was convicted and fined £5.

Senior Detective P. Doyle, who pro-secuted*, said that the case was morethan the ordinary attempt to evadethe censorship regulations. Hald wasan enemy alien, and was manager ofa foreign company in Wellington. Theother accused was an accountant byprofession and came from Australia,but was employed by a company whichhad a branch here. Recently it wasO'Byrne's intention to leave New Zea-land for Australia. The two accusedhad been living at the same addressfor some time past, and had been onfriendly terms.

Prior to the sailing of the ship aletter was found by the boarding in-spector, Mr. Cotterill, in one of thesheds, and when he made: inquiries asto its ownership it was. claimed ..byO'Byrne as his property. The letterbore no address beyond initials on theenvelope, which was sealed. It wasopened and the contents brought to thenotice of Detective-Sergeant Trickle-bank and Detective Ritchie. O'Byrnewas interviewed, and he frankly ad-mitted to the detectives that he hadknown Hald, that they had been friend-ly, and that Hald had asked him if hewould take the letter and deliver itto Hald's father in Australia. He con-sented to do so, but he stated he wasnot aware of the contents of theletter.

"WHERE SYMPATHIES LIE.""The letter is one that, in the mr

terests of this country, I would not bejustified in reading to the Court," saidMr. Doyle. "It will give some indica-tion of where the sympathies of theaccused Hald lie." The letter was thenhanded up to the Magistrate.

"This is a very serious matter, par-ticularly in view of the fact that theaccused Hald is an enemy alien," saidMr. Doyle. "He frankly admitted tothe detectives that his reason for giv-ing this letter to the other accusedwas to evade- the censorship regula-tions. He also knew very well thathe could not possibly succeed in hav-ing the contents of that letter to hisfather sent through the post."

Mr. H. E. Evans, who appeared forO'Byrne, said' that the accused hadbeen transferred .to Australia,- andHald, with whom he had been board-ing, asked him to take the letter tohis father. O'Byrne complied v/ith therequest, which-, in normal times wouldbe quite a natural one. O'Byrne didnot realise he was committing an of-fence, and was completely frank aboutthe matter. In- fact, when the ownerof the letter was sought he voluntarilystepped- forward. and claimed it. Piewas a British subject, and of his goodcharacter and loyalty there could beno doubt. Mr. Evans asked tha*tO'Byrne's name be suppressed. "Imake that request because the verysuspicion of disloyalty is worse thanany penalty the Court might imposeon him," he said.

The Magistrate refused the applica-tion for' suppression of name.

NO SINISTER MOTIVE.Hald knew he was committing a

breach of the regulations, and intendedto commit that breach, said. Mr. A. M.Cousins, counsel for Hald. Having re-gard to the circumstances, however, hecould only assume that Hald could notresist the temptation of taking advan-tage of the fact that O'Byrne was goingto Australia, and on the spur of themoment he gave the letter to hisfriend and asked him to take it over.Obviously he desired to send to hisfather some news that he knew, thecensor would not allow him to send.There was, however, no sinister motive,and no intention to cause anybody.anyharm. .

"As far as O'Byrne is concerned,"said Mr.. Cousins, "he had no know-ledge of the contents of the letter, andhe simply did this as a kindness to afriend."

The.case of O'Byrne could be metwith a fine,. said the Magistrate, butthe circumstances of the .case againstHald were a little more difficult. Itwas a deliberate attempt to evade .thecensorship, and was not a matter thatcould be disposed of lightly.

SECOND ECHELON

ARRIVAL AT HOME

TRIBUTE TO NAVAL FORCES

END OF A LONG TRIP

(From the New Zealand Official WarCorrespondent.)

SOMEWHERE IN BRITAIN, June 16,In still, hot sunshine, on a perfect

afternoon of early summer, the trans-ports of the Second Echelon droppedanchor today in a Homeland harbourafter the longest voyage ever made bytroops going to war. .

The dramatic turn in the.fortunes ofwar during the weeks we have been atsea, the sudden change in our destina-tion (which practically doubled thedistance sailed), and the knowledgethat we have been brought throughdangerous waters to where the need isgreatest have combined to make thisan unforgettable occasion for 7000men. When they were bidden wel-come this afternoon in the name ofhis Majesty the King, of the BritishGovernment,of the High Commission-er for New Zealand, of General Frey-berg, and of their unseen kinsfolk onshore, they were moved to repeatedapplause and rousing cheers. But theycheer loudest and longest of all for theships and men of the Royal Navy, towhom they owe their safe arrival.

Throughout the last week our escortincreased.almostdaily, both on sea andin the air, while the troops themselvesmounted and manned machine-guns asa precaution against possible air at-tacks. There were none. Yesterday,however, we encountered for the firsttime the direct effects of the hiddensea war, against Britain, and saw theNavy, if not in action, at least in thelast stages of its preparedness foraction. Towards noon we steamedthrough a litter of deck cargo driftingaimlessly before the tide, and almostimmediately afterwards sighted a shipon fire—billowing columns of blacksmoke with flames leaping from theirbase, and what appeared, to be thehull right on end.' Another merchantship" was standing by, and our convoykept steadily to its changing course.Presently a scouting aircraft droppeda smoke flare. Instantaneously a pairof destroyers swung out of line to in-vestigate; and we bent away. Nothingcame of that investigation, but l«-terin the afternoon one of ■ our escortsdropped a depth charge, and in theearly evening a further alarm broughta pack of destroyers racing for prey,the while. larger warships shepherdedus closer. •■

In our journey round the' world wehave been under the care," at differenttimes; of the Royal Navy itself, theNew Zealand Division of the RoyalNavy, the Royal .Australian Navy, andthe Royal Canadian .Navy. It is noreflection on the courage of our mento say that all of them who are notalready members would gladly jointhe Navy League tonight. Their ad-miration- does not spring from thoughtsof their own safety, although all re-sented the possibility of being putout of the war without "having asmack at Fritz!" No; they have seenwhat the Navy does and come to real-ise what it means to the life and free-dom of the British Commonwealth.Was he not a famous sailor of thelast war, later ..our Governor-General,who told us once in New Zealand,"The sea is our life"? The RoyalNavy keeps the sea. We have seen itat work, and know. j

OFFICIAL WELCOME.It had been intended that Lord

Caldecote, Secretary of State for Do-minion Affairs, and Mr. W. J. Jordan,High Commissioner for New Zealand,should be present to greet the troops,but a last-minute development in pub-lic affairs kept both in London. TheSecretary of State was represented byhis Parliamentary Under-Secretary,Mr. Geoffrey Shakespeare, and Briga-dier-General N. S. Falla, Commandantof the New Zealand Base, read a mes-sage from the High Commissioner. Thefirst speaker in the official 'party whichmade a round ofthe transports as theylay at anchorwas General Carrington,who brought messages of welcomefrom the King and from the Secretaryof State for War, Mr. Anthony Eden.IBrigadier Miles represented GeneralFreyber,g, who would have been therebut for Italy's entry" to the war, andcivic leaders expressed the; welcomeof adjacent local authorities.

Mr. Shakespeare said he was proudto be the first member of the Govern-ment to welcome us "Home"—-he';,em-phasised the word—because "when thenews leaks out that the second, con-tingent of the New Zealand Expedi-tionary Force has arrived,here, therewill be a thrill of joy in every homeand every heart in this country." . Itwas a timely arrival, he said, for thewar had reached a very critical stageand every fresh help was most valu-able. Twenty-five years earlier he hadshared a"hill' with New Zealanders—with the fathers of some of the menpresent,.perhaps—just below the Apexon Gallipoli, and ho had rfever forgot-ten how gamely they fought. It ,wasa pleasure^to. be able to express. acomrade's gratitude to their sons, whowould; fight equally gamely and withan equar assurance of. victory.

Among the district civic leaders whospoke.was the Lord.Provost of Glas-gow, Mr. Pat Dollan, a personal friendof.' the New Zealand Prime Minister,from whom he conveyeda message ofgreeting, and another gentleman, theLord Lieutenant of Renfrewshire, whorecalled having spent three months inNew Zealand and having seen thePinkand White Terraces the..year, beforethey were destroyed.

Mr. Jordan's welcome, read byBrigadier Falla, had special appeal forthe troops by virtue of his being a re-turned soldier of the Great War. Hecongratulated them upon their safearrival (thanking the Royal Navy forit), bade them welcome to the OldCountry, and told how very sorry hewas not to be there to meet the con-voy. Only urgent national businesshad prevented him. The war situa-tion was grave, but that would notdaunt New Zealanders, who had a re-putation for playing best after twotries had been scored against them.

THE IMMEDIATE TASK.Brigadier Miles.- came to grips vat

once with realities. Now that we werehere, he said, our task was to getright down to training, with a viewto meeting the new methods of war-fare that the enemy had sprung uponus. Those were not so much newweapons, as. new ways of. using oldweapons. What'was most needed tocombat them was "guts," a quality inwhich New Zealanders had never beenlacking; next, initiative and resource,again characteristics in' which NewZealanders had not been found want-ing in the past. Every man would'have to stick it out; he himself wouldhave to find and then use methodsof meeting the attack. The situationwas grave indeed, but it would notdefeat us. Meanwhile the New Zea-

! land forces must work to be readyas soon as they were called upon, andthat might be quite soon. GeneralFreyberg hoped to be in Englandshortly, but even if he could not come,because of his duties in the NearEast, he Was taking a deep personal in-terest in our welfare; and training."You have come to this green and

pleasant land, England," concluded thebrigadier, speaking, with ■ the quiet de-termination of one who has latelyfelt the tragedy of. war in his ownhome. "You are going to love it,and to be ready to give your all forit." '• ■' ■ . ' '■'■ 'On the flagship Brigadier Hargest,and on other ships the senior officeraboard, returned thanks for the seve-ral speeches and messages of welcome,expressed the men's eagerness to bein the firing line as soon as they couldpossibly prepare themselves, and con-veyed their thanks to the officers andmen of the naval convoy.

Disembarkation is to begin tomorrowmorning, when the Maoris will be thefirst to set foot on the soil of thepakeha Homeland. Fourteen trains,their departures spaced over threedays and a half, will be needed tocarry the echelon, and the rail jour-ney will occupy well over twelvehours. All details have been workedout in advance by the shore disem-barkation staff. Troops will be issuedwith journey rations before leavingthe ships, and in addition there are tobe two stops en route at refreshmentstation # where meals will be providedby the War Office organisation.

in less than, a week we shall befirmly established at our base camp,and training hard.

CHURCH FUNDS

INCREASED GIVING

FOURTH SUCCESSIVE YEAR

For the. fourth year in successionthere has been a substantial increasein receipts from collections andenvelopesfor parochial purposes in theAnglican diocese of Wellington.

Bishop Holland' reports that these re-ceipts amounted to £18,800, being£1460 more than in the previous year,and about £4000 more, than in 1935----36. The amount received from sub-scriptions, about £6100, was approxi-mately the' same as for the previousyear, and made the total sum raisedin the parishes for assessments andcurrent expenditure £24,900.

Bishop Holland is also able to recorda substantial decrease in the. deadweight of debt. In . 1936^7 the figurestood at £39,576. This year it standsat £25,750, a reduction in four yearsof £13,826. Last year the reductionamounted to about £3750. Putting in-terest at 4£ per cent., states BishopHolland, the total decrease in the debtmeans the release of £622 per annumfor present or future work, a causefor deep thankfulness.

EXTRA CALLS.The total contributed by, church

people during the year to what is call-ed extra-parochial purposes was£15,250, which is nearly £5000 morethan in the previous year, an increaselargely due to the £3600 which thediocese raised for the Military AffairsCommittee. "But to make the picturecomplete," continues the Bishop, "theremust be added to this figure of £15,250another figure of £10,526 paid, in cashwithin the year (during nearly elevenmonths of which we were at war) tothe Centenary Fund, making a grandtotal of £25,776. When we set along-side this figure the amount receivedfor parochial purposes,. £24,900, we seethat for every pound which a parishraised to meet its own needs, it raisedon an average another pound for thewider purposes of the Church beyondthe parish, a truly Christian groppr-

ktion. ■ • ............- "Once again I am proud and gladthat our diocese has contributed thewhole of its quota plus the 12 per cent,which, the Board of Missions asked usto find. Our total gift was £3923, ascompared.with £3881,1 the figure askedfor, and £.3899, the amount,raised lastyear. So we have done better thanever, and have helped■to secure thepayment to every missionary agencysupportedby the provinceof the wholeof its budgeted figure."

ANTIDOTE TO DEFEATISM.Bishop Holland says that he does not

claim the figures prove anything. "Iknow," he adds, "that what matters is'what manner of men we are/ and, not'how many of ,us there be,' or 'howmuch, we give.' I can only say thatto me, the figures are encouraging andprovide a strong antidote to defeatism.They also suggest that work an theIparishes goes forward and not back-ward and that as a diocese we maythank God and take courage."

STATE MUSIC

STRINGS AND VOICES

COMPETITION RESULTS

'COMMUNITY SERVICE'

"The home front morale is a vitalfactor in our war effort and our na-tional music celebrations which con-clude tonight have exerted a definiteinfluence in that direction. The cele-brations have had a general publicappeal, and by means of radio theyhave been, shared by practically everyhousehold in the land. They havebeenenjoyed by all, because music's appealis universal, and knows no divisionofreligious creeds or political beliefs,"said the Hon. H. G. R. Mason, speak-ing at the final concert of the Centen-nial Music Festival last night.

Music competitions constituted thegreaterpart of the programme, whichwas given in the Concert Chamber.These competitions were string quar-tet and choral singing. The instru-mental works were First Movementfrom Quartet in D Major ("TheLark"), by Haydn; and First Move-ment of the Quartet in A Minor, byBrahms. Prizes were: First, £50;second, £25. The judge was Mr. An-dersen Tyrer. The • first prize wasawarded to the Christchurch players,Messrs. ,R. Sutton (first violin), R.Moon (second violin), J. Mercer(viola), and LI. Hunter ("cello). Thesecond prize went to Auckland, theplayers being W. M. Dimery (firstviolin), G. C. Firth (second violin),S. Slater (viola), and R. Pawson('cello). The judge, in giving his dccision on the instrumentalitems, remark-ed that the faults and virtues of onequartet almost balanced the virtuesand, faults of the other. He pointedout the qualities and the defects in thetwo' performances and remarked onthe courage required to tackle ' the

Imovement from Brahms. The choralcompetitions were entered by theDorian Choir, Auckland, Mr. HarryLuscombe, conductor;' the A. CapellaSingers, Wellington, Mr. 'H. TempleWhite, conductor; and the OrpheusChoir, Christchurch, Mr. F. C. Pen-fold, conductor. The contest workswere "Music When Soft Voices Die"(Andersen Tyrer) and "Diaphenia"(Stanford). The former was not easyto sing and the judge (its composer)did not say it was. He did say of thechoirs generally that the work wasgood and of general high excellence.He pointed out shortcomings as he sawthem and was not backward in com-mending outstanding- qualities. Heawarded the first prize of £125 to theChristchurch singer, second: prize of£50 to the Wellington choir, and thirdprize of £25 to the Dorian Singers.

GOVERNMENT'S THANKS.The prizes were presented by Mr.

Mason, who, speaking on behalf ofthe Government, expressed thanks forthe support accorded the function. "Butmore especially," he said, "do I wishto express to the members of the com-■peting choirs and string quartets an as-surance of the Government'swarm ap-preciation of their work. They en-tered the lists with no little inconveni-ence and cost to themselves and as anexpressionof their love of music andof a desire to assist in a practical waythis most important activity in ournational life. I feel that you willagree with me when I say that theyhave performed a worthy communityservice. As an appropriate commenton the Centennial Music Celebrationsgenerally, the Minister read a messagedelivered by the Prime Minister (theRt. Hon. P. Fraser) at the commence-ment of the festivals:—"Due to thehigh intellectual standard of the pio-neers who first settled in this land,New Zealand's cultural life was ableto commence under the most favour-able auspices, and it is the duty of allof us. to ensure that the advantage ofthis auspicious beginning is hot lostNations, like individuals, cannot liveby bread alone, and we must strivealways to keep the cultural life of ourcountry on the same nigh level towhich our material. life has . beenraised." . . ....

.Those words, written in April last,said Mr. Mason, "seem\to become moreapplicable the longer the state of warexists, and they answer in advance theappeal recently made by Mr. J. B.Priestley in a broadcast from London,when.he pleaded with his listeners toencourage; practice, and support music,drama, literature, art, and all thingsof the spirit, as the best antidote to warnerves." Mr. Mason especially re-ferred to the work of "our overseasartists and the superb symphony or-chestra directed by Mr. AndersenTyrer. They have set new standardsin musical values on which we as anation can build during our nexthundred years. They have stimulatedand invigorated the cultural side ofour community life, which I think youwill agree is the cornerstone carryingthe superstructure of national de-velopment." .

In between the competitive numbers,Miss Merle ; Gamble, , soprano, sang"Gretchen at the- Spinning Wheel"(Schubert), "The Almond Tree" (Schu-mann), and "Serenade" (RichardStrauss). Mr. Clifford Huntsman,pianist, played "Mortify: Us. by ThyGrace" (Bach-Rummel), Sonata (Scar-latti), Study in E Minor (Chopin),moto perpetuo (Poulenc), and the des-criptive "Cordoba" and a Seguidilla byAlbeniz. Both; artists ■ had enthusi-astic receptions' and their numberswere warmly applauded. Mr.., FrankCrowther was accompanist to MissGamble. ~ .

At the close of the performances Mr.Mason announced the winners in theNational Centennial Competition fororiginal orchestral and choral composi-tions. The first prize in both competi-tions was awardedto Mr. Douglas Gor-don Lilburn, of Hunterville (nowstudying in England), for his composi-tions "Drysdale" (orchestral overture)and "Prodigal Country" (choral work).

The second prize in the orchestral com-petition was also won by Mr. Lilburn,with' his "Festival" overture, which,said Mr. Mason, was of a high stand-ard equal to that of the Winning com-position. ' In the circumstances theGovernmentdecided to award a specialprize to the work next in order ofmerit. - This .was won" by Mr. RobertAdam Home, Wairarapa Terrace,Christchurch, with his tone poem"Aotearoa." The second prize j.n thecompetition for a ;choral compositionwas awarded to Mr. Clement RoySpackman, Stuart Street, Dunedin, forhis work, "The. Burning of the Houseof; Hades," a Maori legend. , •All present sang with fervour theNational Anthem at the opening of theconcert and "God Defend New Zea-land" at its close. . _

BUSINESS THIS WEEK

AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES

"Evening Post," August 3,The principalevent in the share mar-

ket this week has been permissiongranted by the Government to resumetrading in New Zealand in Australian

- and other overseas securities undercertain conditions. Such dealings,however, must be as between residentsin New Zealand and securities regis-tered overseas cannot be dealt in untilthe selling broker has obtained• per-mission from the Reserve Bank. Timewill show whether the new regulationswill restore confidence, also facilitatebusiness as between New .Zealandbuyers and sellers. 'Dealings in over-seas securities were suspended onApril 11 last, but were subsequentlyrestored. Yet only afewof the shareswere then quoted.' The object of thefirgt ban was to close the door on"black" exchange transactions. How-ever, resumption on even a limitedscale of business in overseas securitiesdid not follow.

This prohibition not only deprivedstock and share brokers of the largerpart of their business, but it causedhardship, if not distress, among manyprovident bona fide investors, peopleof slender means who held Australianshares and had so held them for years.The general depreciation in the valueof Australian shares in Australianmarkets was sufficient in itself to causegrave concern without the placing ofa ban on. dealings in them. ■

AUSTRALIAN BANKS

DEPOSITS UP, ADVANCESDOWN

Deposits of the ten Australian trad-ing banks continue to expand. Aver-ages for the quarter. ended June 30show that total deposits reached a re-cord of £351,464;000—an increase of£29,127,000 over twelve months, andan increase of £2,611,000 over thequarter. This increase is a reflectionof expanding industrial activity stimu-lated by the war, assisted by the ex-pansionist trend of Australian mone-tary policy.

Advances of £287,797,000 show a de-cline of £4^303,000 over twelve months,but over the quarter they rose, sharplyby £7.162,000, from £280,635,000 to£287,797,000. This increase is pro-bably the result of greater industrialactivity combined with an increase ofimports.

POTATO POSITION

MARKET "VERY DULL"

The second shipment of 1000 tonsof potatoes for Australia has beenarranged, leaving 3000 tons to be sentaway in September or later.

The local market remains very dullwith no improvement on the low priceswhich have been ruling. A heavy ship-ment left for the North Island thisweek and supplies now in sight, shouldkeep the market there amply suppliedfor the month. :

A vessel took 9300 sacks from Timaruand 2500 from Lyttelton. Both grow-ers and merchants areanxiously await-ing the Government's statement mreply to a deputation which waited onit to ask for a minimum price.

HUTCHINSON v. GILO.

Under the auspices of the Welling-ton Boxing Association Young Gildp.the "Filipino Flash," and JohnnyHut-chinson, highly-ranked American negrolightweight, will meet at the Town Hallnext Saturday night over twelve three-minute rounds. This contest, for whichthe purse will be the largest offeredfor a contest in this city for manyyears, is the most important since thedays or Sarron and Donovan and canbe depended upon to produce evenmore brilliant boxing than was dis-played by that famous pair. Gildohas firmly established himself as theprime favourite of Wellington enthusiasts. His amazing skill and hiswillingness to mix it with any oppon-ent, combined with his inimitable man-nerisms, have placed him in a class ofhis own, and if there is any boxer inNew Zealand fit to be matched withthe American it is Gildp, who has al-ready shown that Hutchinson holds noterrors for him. Hutchinson was asensation in Australia and his per-formances at Auckland : have beenwarmly• acclaimed. He is at presentin Wellington training for the bout.Particulars are advertised.

CURRENT ENTERTAINMENTS

ST. JAMES THEATRE.Against a background of Javanese

native life Bing Crosby, Bob Hope,and Dorothy Lamour present a mix-ture of comedy, love-making, and sing-ing in "Road to Singapore," showingat St. James Theatre. Best scenes inthe picture are those of the Easternport where the hero (Bing Crosby),runaway son of a shipping, magnate,and his engaging mate (Bob Hope)elect to live as an alternative to direct-ing big business from an office chairIt is here that they meet a beautifuldancer (Dorothy Lamour). After oneof the general fights which the twomen start whenever existence is be-coming dull for them they find thedancer added to the residents of theirnative bungalow. Feeling that theyare in danger of losing their libertythey decide to throw the dancer out,but she is soon back again after an-other little fracas in which her jealousformer dancing partner is thrown intoa convenient bog. There are otheramusing scenes when the runawayson's millionaire father and his fianceearrive in a luxury yacht, and aftermany adventures the course of truelove is at last smoothed out. Thereare several catchy new songs in thepicture, and the scenes of native cus-toms, especially the annual feast andmarriage dance, are excellently done.A newsreel covering recent war andother "shorts" are on the programme.

MAJESTIC THEATRE.Unusual in its theme, gay and

romantic, "The Shop Around theCorner," the current attraction at theMajestic Theatre, allows full scope forthe splendid talent of its cast. Thefilm centres around the shop of Mar-tuschek, Ltd., in Budapest, conductedby the great Martuschek himself, arole admirably played by the inimit-able Frank Morgan. His chief sales-man is Mr. Kralik (James Stewart) andone of his sales ladies is Klara Novak(Margaret Sullavan). No love is lostbetween Mr. Kralik and Miss Novak.Both, in fact, imitate and exaggeratethe other's rumoured physical de-formities for the delectation of theother membersof the staff. Curiouslyenough, both conduct a pen-friendromance with persons unknown tothem. They place their pen-friends onpedestals, occasionally discuss themwith each other, taking trouble topoint out the attributes of their un-known friends as a contrast to theshortcomings of the people present. Itdoesn't take Kralik long to find outthat he is corresponding • with MissNovak. After his initial shudder ofdisgust bordering on horror, he be-gins to think it might be a thor-oughly sound idea. He really falls inlove with her, but, when making halfhearted advances he ,invariably gets Ithe pen-friend thrown up in his faceas illustrative of what the perfect manshould be. The picture races along toa superb climax; never dull, arid forthe most part exceptionally funny.Joseph Schildkraut is another of thefine cast. Supports include the latestnewsreels, an interesting miniature,and a cartoon.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE.The strenuous life in big cities of

the U.S.A. is so thoroughly made funof in "Wedding Present" at the Para-mount Theatre that the author is tobe congratulated. Cary Grant and JoanBennett excel themselves. Such na-tional . institutions as gangsters, sensa-tional Press, and families dating backto the Mayflower are cleverly ridi-culed. There is no plot, which is justas well. The way in which high lifeand editorial functions are debunkedis much better than in preyious filmsof this nature. "Black Friday," thesecond feature, is a macabre storytinged with striking realism by the suc-cess of Stanley Ridges; in a dual per-sonality role. Half of a professor'sbrain, damaged in an accident, is re-placed by part of that of a gang leaderwho is killed from the neck down inthe same crash. Boris Karloff is thesurgeon, whose probity is wrenchedwhen he sights the gangsters' hiddenloot. Benevolence, erudition, murder,and coarseness possess the erstwhileprofessor in a powerfully-presentedstory in which Ridges is facially,vocally, and mentally two people. "At-lantic Patrol" is a munitions convoystory, and "Rocking Through theRockies" a comedy.

ASCOT THEATRE."For Freedom," showing at the Ascot

Theatre, with Will Fyffe and the offi-cers and men of H.M.S. Exeter andAjax and the destroyer Cossack, is astirring sea drama. Also showing is"The Man Who Wouldn't Talk," star-ring Lloyd Nolan and Jean Rogers.It is a mystery drama of a man whoremained silent though charged withmurder. The serial and supports areexcellent.

REX THEATRE.Victor McLaglen, whose portrayals

of virile, two-fisted roles are widelyknown, gives one of his most power-ful characterisations in R.K.O. Radio's"Gunga Din," in which he is teamedwith Cary Grant and Douglas Fair-banks, jun. This epic picturisation ofthe famous Rudyard Kipling balladis showing at the Rex Theatre. Para-mount's "The Texas Rangers," KingVidor's epic of the men who mouldeda state from the territory of Texas,is the second feature. The picturefeatures an all-star cast headed byFred MacMurray and Jack Oakie.

EMPIRE THEATRE, ISLAND BAY.Its original story written almost 50

years ago in a time when glory wassynonymous with gory, Universal's"Tower of London" is snowing at theEmpire Theatre. The story centresaround the life of Richard, whoseambitions and treachery lead him todestroy five who stand between himand the throne. Basil Rathbone, BorisKarloff, Barbara O'Neil, lan Hunter,Nan Grey, and Vincent Price head thecast. "Beware, Spooks!" which hasbeen hailed as one of the funniest JoeE. Brown vehicles in years, is the as-sociate film.

VOGUE THEATRE, BROOKLYN.Bringing together again the cast and

director which made "Four Daughters"such a memorable event, "DaughtersCourageous" is showing at the VogueTheatre. Heading the cast are JohnGarfield and Priscilla Lane, with anotable supporting group of players,including the two other Lane girls,Rosemary and Lola, Gale Page, FayBainter, Jeffrey Lynn, Claude Rains,Frank McHugh, May Robson, and DickForan. Stanley Lupino's stage andscreen successes are so numerous thatone has come to expect great things asnormal from this gifted comedian."Hold My Hand," the associate attrac-tion, is a worthy newcomer to the en-tertainment world.

qPERA HOUSE."Ninotchka" occupies premier place

on the programme at the Opera HouseIn this entertaining film Greta Garboappears in her first comedy part, andmakes a triumphant success of itWith Melvyn Douglas and a Russianversion of the three Marx brothers to'assist her, she puts over a most amus-ing story while playing the part of aRussian envoy sent to Paris to findout what the three previous envoysare doing with the Russian Crownjewels. What they are doing is sell-ing them, and having a fine time onthe proceeds. She meets a Count whotransforms her mode of life, and isombre garb and solemn mien are ex-changed for startling frocks and gaysmiles. After many complications andmuch humour, the story ends in Con-stantinople, where the three previousenvoys, after passing through manyvicissitudes of fortune, have opened arestaurant, and there it is that Ni-notchka meets her Count again. In-cluded in the supporting programme isan interesting film showing how thewar came to. London and the calm re-ception by the populace of air-raidwarnings.

CITY AND SUBURBAN THEATRES

KING'S THEATRE,Heading a first-rate programme at

the King's Theatre this week is oneof the brightest and most entertainingcomedy-romances that have come thisway for a long time. It is "The Amaz-ing Mr. Williams/ and it stars MelvynDouglas and Joan Blondell. Thereis not a dull moment in it. Where itisn't scintillating with witty" dialogueit abounds alternatively with tenseand humorous situations, and goeswith a swing from start to finish.Douglas is Kenny Williams, a lieuten-ant attached to the homicide squad,and Joan Blondell acts as his fiancee.The trouble starts over the fight ofthe chief of the squad to make Kennya good detective and his fiancee's de-termination to make him a good hus-band. Her attempts to force him toresign or to get the sack form thebackground of the plot, but Kenny'sdetective instincts are a distinct han-dicap to her plans. The occasion whenKenny took the crook he was escort-ing to a dance and the scene where hedresses up in female clothes to act asa decoy are two of the most laughable

[Sequences in the film. The Support-ing programme is varied and full ofinterest.

PLAZA THEATRE. .a+"£wa2i ee RJZer\ featufe attractionat the Plaza Theatre, is written roundthe life of. the celebrated Americanfolk song composer Stephen Fosterand the revival on the screen of thesefamous tunes is certain to attract greatpublic interest. As his songs were themain part of his life, so StephenFoster's melodies comprise the mostimportant part of the film. They formthe background to the whole pictureand many of his haunting tunes!•"Jeanie 01 the Light Brown Hair," "OhSusanna," "Poor Old Joe," and"Swanee River," are splendidly sungby that popular comedian Al Jolson.The picture is filmed in technicolour,and its old-fashioned settings, both out-of-doors and interior, are excellent.The actors, led by Don Ameche, An-drea Leeds, and Al Jolson, enter intothe spirit of the period, and DonAmeche's characterisation of the head-strong, emotionally unstable but inspir-ing Stephen Foster, is remarkable. AlJolson plays the role of Christy, theblack-faced minstrel, with humour andvigour. The supporting programmeincludes pictures of the evacuation ofEnglish children to Canada.

DE LUXE THEATRE." "Buck Benny Rides Again," the mainfeature at the De Luxe Theatre, isa highly-entertaining musical comedyon somewhat unusual lines. Its action,mostly hilarious, ranges from NewYork to the "'wild and woolly" West,and its success, with Jack Benny. El-len. Drew. Rochester, Andy Devine.Phil Harris, and a host of others equal-ly popular with Wellington audiences,is assured from the opening scenes.Benny plays his real-life role, that ofa radio star, but with the differencethat he is supposed to hate anythingin the nature of outdoor life. Purelyto impress the girl of his dreams. JoanCameron (Ellen Drew), he takes upthe challenge of his radio rival, FredAllen, to "rough it" in the West, andhis adventures as the pseudo-ownerof a ranch are funny almost beyonddescription. "Golden Gloves," the as-associate feature, deals with the box-ing racket in New York and the ex-ploitation of young fighters by unscru-pulous promoters. J. Carroll Naish,Robert Paige, Jean Cagney, and Rich-ard Denning are the principal playersin this exciting picture. At the nightperformances Johnny Hutchinson, theAmerican negro, who ranks highamong the lightweight boxers of theworld, and who is to meet YoungGildo in Wellington next Saturdaynight, makes a personal appearanceand gives a brilliant display of shadowsparring and bag punching. Also onthe programme is a further episode of"The Green Hornet."

STATE THEATRE.All the ingredients of a first-class

murder drama are contained in TheSpider," which heads the double-fea-t«re programme at the State Theatre.With a theatrical background—avery distant background—to adouble murder, Scotland Yard putsits bright young inspector on the 30b,masking his inquiries under a cloakof perpetual inebriation. Throughthe help of his young wife he has ar.assortment of clues to a gang of fourjewel thieves, but it is the ringleader."The Spider," who is the difficult manto catch. The second fulHengtnfeature is "Viva Cisco Kid,' afast-moving drama of the West headedby Cesar Romero.

NEW PRINCESS THEATRE.George Formby's elastic features

wreathed in mirth literally reach outamongst the audience and pluck thegloom away in "Keep Fit," whichheads the bill at the New PrincessTheatre, while the twinkle in hiseye forecasts the strangest situa-tions in a first-olass comedy. Thesecond feature, "Rhythm of theSaddle," presents Gene Autry andPeggy Moran in.a rodeo story, whichis as hectically active as it is melodi-ous.

ROXY THEATRE."The Invisible Man Returns" is show-

ing at the Roxy Theatre. Con-demned to die for the murder of hisbrother, the man who knows the secretof invisibility is enabled through hiseerie power to escape death and finally to bring the real criminals to jus-tice. "Torchy Plays with Dynamite,"the second attraction, is another of the"Torchy Blanc" series with JaneWyman in the role of the crime-solvinggirl reporter made famous by GlendaFarrell.

KILBIRNIE KINEMA.Headed by the incomparable Mickey

Rooney and Judy Garland, who arestarred, more than two hundred ofHollywood's most talented youngsterscombine in "Babes in Arms," showingat the Kilbirnie Kinema, to presentone of the most exciting and enter-taining films of the year. The associ-ate feature, "Captain Fury," starringBrian Aherne and Victor McLaglen, isan exciting adventure drama.

TUDOR THEATRE. .Howard Spring's absorbing noyel. "O,

Absalom," rich in emotional, believabledrama, has been made into an out-standing film, and this is "My Son, MySon!" which is the main attraction atthe Tudor Theatre. "My Son, My Son!"is woven about a father and son, andhigh hopes that fail to materialise. Anintriguing comedy-drama, "CurtainCall," is the associate feature-lengthattraction. "Curtain Call" has a para-doxical theme—the shattering of a girl'scareer as an author when her amateur-ish play becomes an amazing Broadwaysuccess.

REGAL THEATRE, KARORI.Story value and acting performances

are counted on in "Everything Happensat Night," which is showing at theRegal Theatre, more than in any ofSonja Henie's previous five produc-tions.

WRESTLING TITLE BOUT.At .the Wellington Town Hall on Mon-

day night the New Zealand wrestlingchampion, Sergeant-Major "Lofty"Blomfield will meet John Katan, whoseholding of the British Empire profes-sional heavyweight wrestling title ismarked by the same determination asthat which enabled him to win it fromEarl McCready. In addition to the titlesuccess the bout will carry with it thewinning of a silver cup presented bySir Charles Norwood.

S. Irwin, a member of the execu-tive of the New Zealand Trotting Con-ference, added the information thatthese two sport-controlling bodies hadno option but to accept the Broadcast-ing Board's offer, as the Governmentthreatened to put through an Order inCouncil legalising the broadcastingfrom all courses if the BroadcastingService's terms were not'accepted.

THE NIPPON DERBYENTHUSIASM IN JAPAN

Despite the war with China, racingis evidently flourishing in Japan, judg-ing from a. report issued recently byMri K. Janaka, director of the JapanHorse Breeding Association, onthe run-ning of the ninth Nippon Derby, whichwas won by leryu. .

Racing in Japan is apparently doingwell, as the crowd -of 56,000 which sawthe Derby this year at Tokio was arecord, and the to.talisator turnoverwas also a record- It must have beena record all round, as Mr; Janaka goeson to say that out of the nine Derbiesrun, five have been won by descend-ants of the same stallion, Tournesol,whose sire is the English "triple crown"hero Gainsborough.

The race for the Nippon Derby thisyear, which, -incidentally, is run overa mile and a half, was contested bythe splendid field of 24 runners, andamong them were the progeny of-theimported stallions Diolite, Statesman,Primero, Tournesol, Shian Mor, PrioryPark, and the home-bred stallion Tsuki-tomo, a son of Man o' War.,:

It is interesting to note that Primerois a brother to Trigo, Harinero, andAthford, being by Blandford from theFarasi mare Athasi, ? and one of hissons, Minami, finished second. Hari-nero is in Australia, while Trigo. isgoing.well at the stud in England.

Apparently the Nippon Derby-was athrilling race, as leryu, Minami, andBoom had a great fight all the way tothe post, leryu getting up to defeatMinami by half a head. The timewas 2min 34 2-ssec, which is only asecond outside the record establishedby Sugenuma in 1938.

leryu is a bay colt by Tournesol fromYamatae, and was- bred at the RoyalStud Farm at Shamosa. He was boughtby Mr. H. Ishida for 36,000 yen, thesecond highest price: paid at this "year'sauction. Incidentally, leryu went onebetter than his full brother Taeyama,who was a warm' favourite' for theNippon Derby in 1938, and was placedsecond.

For thepast two seasons she has been pre-pared by the Mangere trainer J. T.Paul, who has succeeded in educating|her intooneofthe best unhoppled per-formers in the north. She hasnot beenout of the money in any of her eightstarts this term, and has registeredthree firsts, two seconds, and twothirds. Mah Jong is a roan mare bythe imported stallion Maxegin from theNelson Bingen mare Katute, -winner ofthe New Zealand Trotting Stakes in1926. Her dam Muricata was a mostsuccessful matron, and at the stud shehas produced Taraire (4.26 1-5),Ahuriri (4.20 and winner of two NewZealand Trotting Cups), Little Claire(3.27 4-5), and Katute (3.27 4-5).Death of Trenand.

The New Zealand-bred pacer Tren-and died recently in Australia at theage of 22 years. He had taken a two-mile record of 4min 29 2-ssec and wasa most consistent<, but unlucky pacerwhen trained by O. E. Hooper. Trenandwas by Brent Locanda from Tairene,the dam of Lucky Jack, Dundas.Boy,and Dundee, all of whom were bredby Mr. W. T. Lowe.Working Well.

According to a northern report theWrack gelding Ironside is showing anew lease of life in his training atTakanini, and in a recent workoutwith Josedale Grattan he finished toowell for the American-bredhorse overthe last half-mile. Ironside has notraced for some time, and he may beall the better for a race, but it will besurprising if he does not pay expenseson the Addington trip.Successful Year.

The Auckland Trotting Club has hada very successful year, and the totali-sator investments, £'498,127,were a re-cord for any one season, and represent-ed an increase of £34,581on the 1938----39 total. The loss of the 1 per cent,rebate of totalisator duty cost the club£4981. .U. Scott's Progress.

The American horse U. Scott hasbeen getting through plenty of solidwork recently, and although.he has notfaced for overtwelve months he is notlikely to'lack on the score of physicalfitness when he is produced at theNew Zealand Metropolitan .TrottingClub's Meeting, which opens at Adding-ton next week. His injured hoof hasresponded well to treatment, and hopes,are held that the Scotland horse willstandup to his trainingin the approvedstyle.Now in Australia.

Reporter,who won a number of raceswhen trained at Methven by T. H.McGirr, is now in Australia, and ac-cording to reports he was tobe putintowork when the last mail left. Reporterwas foaled in 1928, and while he wonseveral races over two miles, he wasat his best in sprint races and had amile record of 2min 8 3-ssec.A fine Record.

The Wrack gelding Stormtost hasbeen getting through serviceable workrecently with a view to racing at Ad-dington next week, and he has ac-quitted himself well. With a recordof five wins in six starts last term agood deal of interest will centre in hisdisplays, and he may prove worth fol-lowing throughout the carnival.Am Improver. |

Of the maiden pacers who raced atWashdyke thebest impression wascreated by Lady Denise, who struck.serious interference in therunning andtheri got to within a length of IrishDusk. Lady Denise has taken some|time to fulfil early expectations, butnow thatshe is beginning to show directimprovement she is not likely to belong in the maiden .classes.Well Bred.

F. C. Dunlevey has leased si three-year-old filly that on breeding shouldbe a champion. She is by the importedhorse Gallant Knight from WorthyQueen (2.3), holder of the mile recordfor trotters in-New Zealand and Aus-.tralia. Worthy Queenis a daughter ofWorthy Bingen (brother to Great Bin-,gen and Peter Bingen) from QueenChimes, winner of the TaranakiFuturity Stakes.

SYDNEY RACING

CURTAILMENT ADVOCATED

(From "Vedette.")

SYDNEY, July 26,Efforts are being made again by the

State Cabinet to persuade representa-tives ofracing clubs in Sydney to agreeto a voluntary reduction in racing, butso far no progress is reported. Failingthis, legislation will be introducedwhen the House meets early nextmonth.

It is understood that the proprietaryclubs are working hard to organiseopposition, but the members of thesub-committee, set up by Cabinet con-sider that they will be able to forcethrough the necessary Bill to curtailracing up to 50 per cent. Disinterest-ed observers agree that there is toomuch racing in and around Sydney andconsider that a weeding-out of thesmall meetings would be an advantageand would be a benefit economicallyand a help to country racing, wherethe poorer class horses could be em-ployed with advantage.

High Caste is commencing to sprintin good style at Randwick and looksbigger and brighter than ever. Hewill be a fit horse for the early, springmeetings, and ready for his old rivalReading, who also is doing satisfactor-ily in his early preparation. 'Beaulivre has not been asked for anyserious tasks since his return from hisDoomben Cup success in Brisbane. G.Price has kept him to light work, andBeaupartir also has been restricted tosimilar training.

Similarly favourable reports are tohand from Melbourneconcerning A]ax,who is commencing to stride along.He had his first real gallop this week,bowling over five furlongs in lmin 3£sec.

Yours Truly was given his first raceat Canterbury last Saturday since re-suming work. He looked burly butwas able to force the pace for nearlya mile in a ninerfurlong event and thenfinished fifth. He carried top weight,9.0, so did not shape badly.

Gladynev has many people in Mel-bourn* all agog, mostly on account ofhis luxury weight in the Caulfield Cup.Probably they would not be so enthusi-astic if they saw this ordinary-lookinglittle bay horse at Randwick. So far,J. T. Jamieson. has taken him veryquietly, but probably Gladynev ismore forward than he appears. He isabsolute favourite for the Caulfieldevent, but due only to early sp.eckers,for there has not been one penny ofstable money invested on him.

Mention of the Caulfield Cup recallsthat there is no certainty whether therace will be run at Caulfield. Sincethe outbreak of war the V.A.T.C.'scourse has been arecruiting depot andmeetings have been held at Flemingtonsince last February. Now that re-cruiting has ceased for the time being,the club hopes to have its course re-turned in the near future, and that itwill be available for the major meet-ings of the spring at least.

Mr. W. Devon won another race withLucullus Lad on Wednesday at VictoriaPark. He was one of the first away,was in front at the- turn, and stayedthere. Mr. Devon was not overpleasedwith the short price on offer abouthis horse, or the fact that his two-year-old O Raklo also was a hot favourite.O Raklo had every chance and waswell beaten.

DECISION ALTERED

CASE OF LEAGUE PLAYER

The case of F. Tottey, an AustralianLeague player who recently took partin Rugby Union football in Auckland,has been reconsidered by the NewZealand Rugby Union's executive. Itis stated that on further facts whichbecame known to the executive theadmission of Tottey to the Rugby-Union game has been cancelled. AnAustralian "League representative, Tot-tey was signed on by the Halifax Clubin England. He returned to Australiasome time ago, and was in Aucklandthis season. His contract with Hali-fax was not completed, and that ledto some difficulty regarding a clear-ance for him to play League in Aus-.tralia or New Zealand. His applica-'tion to play Rugby Union in Aucklandsucceeded and he played for GrammarOld Boys. Tottey has now returnedto Australia, where he has admittedthat he did not expect to be allowedto play in Rugby Union football inNew Zealand. He now finds himselfin the position of being keen to playfootball but apparently not eligible foreither the Leacue nr Rnahv Union

THREE MAY TRY THIS YEAR

JPADISHAH ONLY ONE TO ACCOMPLISH FEAT

19i^GreatTNprtfaern double has been won by one horse in thesame year on a number of occasions,but onlyone horse has ever yettaken the jumping double at Trentham or Riccarton in the winter,this feat being accomplished by Padishah last year at the Canter-bury Jockey, Club's Meeting. l,t has not been for the want of trying,but that steeplechase-prior-to-hurdles sequence,even with several daysin between, has so far been an obstacle that even the best jumpershave been unable to surmount. It is therefore, all the more interestingto observe that.no fewer than three horses remain in the two GrandNationals—rPadishah, Clarion Call, and Erination.

The record of the races is, of course,practically, against any horse's win-ning the two races in one year, but itis not a wholly impossible feat. Padi-shah accomplished the task in rathercomfortable fashion last year, •whileAurora Borealis and Clarion Call justfailed' to set a Precedent a few yearsback. Actually only three candidates,Dummy/ Haydn, and' Padishah, havewon the events in different seasons,but Clarion,'Call has been a triflevun-lucky iii riot doing 50,,-as hie has beentwice second and then third in threesuccessive oh the GrandNational Hurdles.

Since the Grand National Hurdleswas first'added to^ the programme forthe CJ.C. Grand National Meeting in1890 there have been many, attempts.,tocapture the double. Padishah, Erina«;tion, and Clarion Call are three who;may make a further attempt'this year*:though, of course, only one of them(unless there were a dead heat in theSteeples) could be left as such a pro-spect after the decision of the first"leg" on Tuesday next.

SOME EARLY ATTEMPTS.In the first two years (1890 and

1891) the races were run on the sameday, arid, as would be expected, nohorse then contested the two events.'In 1917 and 1918 the races were againdecidedonihe same day, but the nextyear the club reverted, to its generalpractice of holding the Steeples on thefirst day aridthe Hurdles on the secondday (after a day's interval), arid therehas been no change since. There willagain be a day'sv interval between thetwo• events this'year;

In 1892, the first, occasion,on whichthe races/ were'iun-o# different; days,two horses (Kaimanawa-arid:Courarito)steppedout in both, but they were un-placed in each. Couranto had won theHurdles the previous year.

A%:year later Mutiny, vwho was de?stii3îto^wr^-Vttte"^S^feepleg'v-iii'-i895and1895; ran^thitdi over? the?country,»,andwas \mplaee£tiri th£ Hurdles.Despised;:iiaS, Victrix also r'air in bothevents that year. .Ih'l^malibrse contested/thedouble,but-Llbi?£ai6r and Despised;unsuccess-fuUyîfjMes,the attempt in 1895.r Thenexjj'fgear "Liberator, who had won theHurßJes-in'"lß93 and .1894, ran unplacedin theySteeples and 'flnished'.third inthe:Hurdles.:Narrate ■vfras -another dualrunêt'^hat'-Sear. ■ '... :.\v-\; ■■

In, 1898 there was no dual essay, butin the^nextfouryears Dummy,,Dundee.Kaimate, ;Mpifa%^yaUer,p,;and Hukuall lailed"to gain places in either eventwhen,attempting the double. In:( 1903-Awahu£L wonjthe^ Steeple^ huA^was..unpflfac.ed' in.J;he;. Hurdles,, and a:. yearlater "Slow; Tom- registered the sameperfbrnaahce. In the following fouryears the only horses to run in the!two races were Catherine Gordon andRanana, both without gaining places.

Then in 1911, after a lapse of fouryears in which no horse had turned outin the ;two races, Paritutu repeated thefeat previously achieved by Levanter,Awahuri, and. Slow Tom,: and two;

years later Bercola was-similarly par-tially successful.

After 1913 the next horse to try forthe elusive double honours wasLochella in 1920, but, although he wasfavourite in the Steeples and second.favourite in the Hurdles, he failed torun into a place in either event.Lochella had won the Steeples the pre-vious year.

MORE RECENT ESSAYS.Another interval followed, broken

only by futile ventures from Omahu(1923) and Sir Roseberry (1925). Thenin 1927 Beau Cavalier, who had wonthe Great Northern Steeplechase andthe Wellington Steeplechase during thepreceding two months, and wasdestined to win the Great NorthernHurdles the next year, followed in thesteps of fairly well-established prece-dent by winning, the Grand National jSteeplechase and running unplaced inthe Hurdles. Kawini also contestedboth, races that year.

The next year Pouri ran second inthe Steeples -and nowhere in theHurdles, and Beau Cavalier was un-placed in both. King's Guard was ajdual runner in 1929.

Then came Aurora Borealis's bestaccomplishment to date, for, after win-ning the 1930 Grand National Steeple-chase, she was beaten only a lengthand a half by.Corinthia in the GrandNational Hurdles. That same yearOmeo ran third in the Steeples and wasunplaced in the Hurdles.•In 1931 Wiltshire (who had won the

cross-country event in 1928 and 1929)and Wako King both failed to gain aplace in either race, and so did HighPitch the next year. In 1933 Billy Boy,who had won the Steeples the previ-ous year, went a point better than hisimmediate predecessors by finishingthird in the Steeples though out ofthe money,in .the Hurdles. There wereno dual attempts in 1935 and 1936.'

The two horses who ran in bothraces in 1937, Irish Comet and Briga-dore, each gained a place in one of the"legs," the former being third in theSteeples and the latter third in theHurdles. Two years ago Clarion Callran his first and third, and Erination.after failing in the Steeples, finishedfourth in the Hurdles.

From this survey- of'the records itwill be seen that no fewer than eighthorses who have aimed at earningdouble honours in the one year havewon the Steeples, but have then missedin the Hurdles, with the exception, ofcourse, of Padishah,. The eight areLevanter, Awahuri, Slow Tom, Pari-tutu, Bercola, Beau Cavalier, AuroraBorealis, and Clarion Call.

Another point of note is that nohorse that has failed in the Steepleshas ever gone on to win' the Hurdlestwo days later. Indeed, only two ofsuch horses have filled a place in theHurdles, those being Liberator, whoran third in the 1896. Hurdles, aftercompleting the course and being un-placed in the Steeples,. andf.Brigadore;who ran third in the Hurdles twoyears ago, after falling in the Steeples.

Itwill thereforebe seen that the pathin front of any horse who essays thedouble this year is one that is mostdifficult to achieve. Still, Padishahmade light of the task last year, andthere is every probability that he willstart favourite, unless he should cutup "badly in the Homeby Steeplechaseat Riccarton.

RUGBY FOOTBALL

BIG MATCHES OF SEASON

ARMY PLAYS PROMINENT PART

Compensating in no small wayfor the curtailment in the Rugbyrepresentativeprogrammefor this season is thepart which the Armyis playing. The special engagements undertaken by the Armyrepresentatives have meant much to the game in its wartime season,just as they have served their part in the struggle which calls mento the Colours. Ere the season is over there will probably be moreof these Army matches; in fact, it is on the cards that teams repre-senting the Army may themselves cap an eventful season with a biginter-camp match. This and other events are receiving consideration.A match between a Trentham side and Wairarapa is planned for nextSaturday, and there is also a prospect of the Burnham Army teamplaying Otago at Dunedin on August 24. More important fromWellington's point of view is that a return Wellington-Army matchis stated to be in view and that the Trentham-Burnham match, ifit eventuates, will most likely take place in Wellington and shouldbe an occasion for patriotic funds receiving a big lift.

Apart from their special matcheswith provincial sides, the soldier play-ers are having a competition of theirown. In this there, are several teams,and a fine range of talented players.Undefeated so far is the Army Schoolteam, which includes such fine playersas Barton, Logan, Rhirid, McPhail,Carson,and Mills. The 25th Battalionteam has quite a sprinkling of Welling-ton players, and it has been showinggood form. This week it had a winover Brigaded Units by 19 points to8. Among those in the Battalion sideare A. Jack (of Oriental), R. Hansen(University), Elliott (Poneke), FraserSmith (Wellington), Troy (Miramar),B. O'Connor (St. Patrick's College OldBoys), and B. Thorburn (Athletic), aswell as H. L. Bradley (from Hawke'sBay), Connor (Wanganui), and Smartand Gayton (Taranaki).

Natusch and Bowman (of Hawke'sBay) and Moorhead (Taranaki) are inthe Brigaded Units team; J. R. Sher-ratt (Wellington) plays for the teamrepresenting the Forts; and P. Harvey(Wellington) is in the Mt. Victoriaside.

WELLINGTON SNAPPY

FULTON'S LAST MATCH

One of Wellington's most brilliantattacking players, W. J. Fulton, hasjoined up with the Air Force, and thisweek went to. camp at Levin. His lastmatch for Wellington—against Po-neke last Saturday—was notable forthe fine display- by the backs, -whoadapted themselves to the conditions

in a manner that was surprising. Itwas fitting that Fulton should figureprominently in that performance. Asa young Thames Valley representativeFulton showed great promise, arid hehas since found a place amongst thecandidates for New Zealand teams. Hisform at tinies has received a check,but at his best Fulton reveals no endof dash. In the past two seasons hehas represented Wellington on numer-ous occasions.

Against Poneke the Wellington backshandled in many delightful movementsand their control of the heavy, greasyball was really splendid for the day., Varying his play to effect, Egdell,behind the Wellington scrum, was keptwell occupied, and came through withcolours ilying. It was his snappy,well-directed passes that paved theway for many of Veitch's penetratingbursts. These two backs caught thedefence unawares on many occasions.

Although the Poneke forwards, withHegglun, Calcinai, Mullet, and Rose atthe helm, held . the advantage inweight, their opponents went better asa pack. Without the services of theirregular hooker, a Poneke weaknessin this department soon became ap-parent, and Kirchberg, for Wellington,had a field day.. Others who perform-ed well for Wellington were McLean,Cave, and Dalton, the last-named beingmost impressive.

McLean, who is the Wellington vice-captain, is amongst those waiting forthe word to go to oamp.

The Poneke backs as a set were notgiven many opportunities. Johns wentwell and Vile was always a potentialdanger. Allen, at full-back, was Po-neke's outstanding back, and he mademany excellent saves.

Taylor, for Wellington, gave a fault-less display and was able on occasionsto link up as an extra back. Hemade a splendid opening which ledto Fulton's second try.

FORWARDS IMPRESS

ATHLETIC SHOW THE WAY

One of the outstanding players in theAthletic-Eastbourne match was Taylor,an Athletic forward. He was alwaysconspicuous, and several times* brokeaway on short solo excursions. Apartfrom his spirited display in the loose,he revealed tireless energy in the rucksand scrums, did much effective spoil-ing work, and was quick to back up ondefence.

Athletic, benefited from efficientfront-row work by Mollier, Ingpen,and Hammond. Easily the youngest ofthe trio, Hammond (from the seconddivision) quickly settled down and;hunted with the pack in great style.He is a good goal-kick, and has put upa tidy tally this season.

Athletic. went very well as a pack,and a feature of the display was thesplendid teamworkmaintained through-out the game. Even so, Bishop andGunn were outstanding when it cameto line-out work and rucking. Bpthplayers know what to do with theball once they gain possession, andthey both showed up to advantage.

Eastbourne's forwards did not havethe conditions to suit their ' styleof intensive spoiling work and. dashin the loose, and they found the Ath-letic pack a bit of a problem. Never-theless, they staged a great battle andoften carried play practically thelength of the field with remarkablespeed. Eastbourne's star forward onceagain was W. Moses, who was here;there, and everywhere, both on attackand defence. • He repeatedly led theloose rushes and proved that he isalso a clever opportunist; though, too,he entered the thick of the struggle.

Another Eastbourne forward tp playa really fine game was R. Moses. Hewas in his element in the solid work,but on one or two occasions he gaveglimpses of his possibilities should everhe have an inclination to exploit theopen game.

Dellabarca's role in the Eastbournepack is that of loose forward, and inthis' phase of the game he has beengoing great guns. Against Athletic heseized upon quite a few opponents'errors to make smart solo dashes, andin addition to these clever thrusts heoften harassed the Athletic -insidebacks. However, he was somewhathandicapped by the heavy ground.

The Athletic backs shaped very well,and the three tries that were scoredwere the result of clever rearguardmovements. Once again O'Halloranwas a tower of strength at half-back,and he cleverly varied his game onattack, while his defence;was particu-larly sound. Two other backs to shapewell were the wing-three-quarters,Thompson and Jamieson,both of whommade the most of their opportunities.In one great dash to the Eastbournegoal-line Thompson provided a realhigh light, and his final dive missedby a matterof inches. Jamieson (fromTemuka) was on promotion. He. ,isvery fast—an asset which he krio.wshow to use to advantage on attack—and his defence is also marked withsplendid tackling. ■ ..-

WELCOME RETURN

With Saulbrey absent, PetonebroughtA. Lambourn out ofretirement to com-plete the front row against Johnson-ville. It was not long before he tookover the hookingposition from Haines,who. incidentally played a good solidgame, and Petone secured a majorshare of the ball. Lambourn was al-ways in the thick of a gruelling for-ward game. ,

F. Mallett, the young Petone centre,added points tohis total with two veryfine dropped goals, both well-judgedkicks, from planned manoeuvring. Mal-lett moved up behind J. McGurk ona scrum going down at the twenty-fivein front of the posts, and the half shotthe ball back for Mallett to take aimand drop a goal. The second "pot" wasfrom almost the same position, butafter a snappy passing rush from ascrum near the touchline. Mallettrepresented Buller last season.

With the ball at toe P.,Lewes (John-sonville) has few superiors in Welling-ton football. Solidly built and fast,he makes many breaks and repeatedlyled Johnsonville in devastating rushesagainst Petone. As a Massey Collegestudent, Lewes represented the NorthIsland Universities, but he has playedfor Johnsonville for the past three,sea-sons, j

NOT PERTURBED

BACKS IN HEAVY GOING

There was mud and slush in plentyat Nairnville Park for theOnslpw-Athletic second divisionmatch, but the Athletic backs didnot seem in the least perturbed by it.With Judd, not long up from thejuniors, hooking brilliantly, the ballcame out smartly and cleanly to thehalf-back, Thompson, and he got itaway perfectly with well-timed divepasses to Scott.. Outside Scott was Rowberry, andoutside him the veteran Pelham, withtwo keen and wide-awake wings inGlengarry and, Parkhouse. All. theseplayers handled cleanly, ran strongly,and kicked with, judgment, and they,were a much more impressive com-bination than the Onslow rearguard.They stood deep and threw long passes,-which proved a much more effectiveweapon of attack than the shallow for-mation adopted by their opponents^

Time was when the Onslow backdivision was. a dangerous attacking,force, but the rearguard has lost agood deal of its sparkle, and its. weak-nesses are particularly pronouncedwhen, as so often happens nowadays,it has to operate on a wet ground andwith a ball not too easy to handle.

The fact that Onslow were able tohold the redoubtable Athletic team toa draw was a tribute to the forwards,who, if none of them shone out as didJacobs, Godber, and Stephenson, forexample, in the Athletic pack, wereall working1 busily all day.

KEEPING IN TOUCH

Though Saturday was not a very in-viting day for. travelling to the sub-urbs, Mr. Alec McDonald, the Welling-ton selector, went out to NairnvillePark to see if he could be of any as-sistance to the teams playing there,and, of course, to see what talent wasoffering. As it happened, two of themore prominent second division teamswere in action at Nairnville, but itwas gathered that the selector also in-tended to look up elsewhere that dayanother second division team which hasnot been doing verywell of late. Lowergrade players appreciate very keenlyinterest taken in them by an officialofMr. McDonald's standing.

ITEMS IN GENERAL

The versatility of J. Gillespie wasshown by his display as a forward forMarist Bros. Old Boys against Hutt.As the back-ranker he played an out-standing game, just as he can whenôn the wing.

Marshment lacks nothing in energyand was neverfar from the ball amongthe Oriental forwards in the matchwith Wellington College Old Boys.Dwyer, at half for Oriental, varied histactics cleverly. His short, snappy line-kicks • into the wind were" of greatservice to his forwards. .;

V. Gotlieb.was not the. least of the;hard-working forwards for WellingtonCollege Old Boys. He gave good ser-vice in Ihie-out work and was untiringin the heavy rucking play. In Wright,Elliott, and Davidson Old Boys havea very effectivethree-quarter line. Thetriocombinedwell in a numberofbackmovements that severely tested theOriental defence.

There was nolackof sting in the tusslebetween the packs of. St. Patrick's Col-lege Old Boys and University. Con-spicuous forwards were Todd, Hutchi-son, and Luones for St. Pat's and BurkeyMeads, and McNicol for University.

Dance, the St. Pat's College Old Boysfull-back, gave a fine display againstUniversity. At no time was he caughtout of position, and his long accurateline-kicks gave his side many a neededrespite. O'Connor and Patrick, oppositenumbers as first five-eighths in thematch, had a heavy day and both re-vealed considerable ability. The stateof the ball hampered their passing,", atwhich O'Connor was able to do, moreeffective work than his vis-a-vis. ~

One of the best displays by a full-back in the senior second division thisseason was that given by O'Connoragainst Miramar. - ■ ■

A cloth so "taped" is so much easierto take on and off a hook.

MUSICAL SISTERS

NEW ZEALANDERS IN SYDNEY

Three young New Zealanders, Wynn,Claire, and Lois Simpson, are makingnames for themselves in Sydney musi-cal circles. Claire, who is 15 years oldand a violinist, made her debut recent-ly at Bernard Heinze's orchestralmatinee for children, at the Town Hall.She is -a pupil of Mr. Florent Hoogstoelat the Sydney Conservatorium.

Their father and mother took thethree girls from Auckland to Sydneyabout eighteen months ago. Wynne,who is eighteen, on a scholarship forthe piano at the Conservatorium andClaire has the Walter and Eliza HallScholarship for the violin. The young-est of the three, Lois, aged 13, hasstudied the 'cello since she was sixyears old, and is considered by her pro-fessor to possess great talents.

Claire Simpson began violin tuitionwhen she was six years old, and ayear later appeared in solo work atthe Auckland Town Hall. When shewas 12 she was a member of theLaurian Society—a string orchestra inChristchurch which numbered amongits members some of the most eminentof New Zealand's string musicians.Claire received high praise from theAustralian Broadcast Commission'saudition committee, and she has givena number of broadcast recitals.

Wynne began her studies when shewas five, and she was a bronze andsilver medallist by the time she waseight. When she was only thirteen shewon the .New ~ Zealand piano -.cham-pionship, open to all players under21, and since then she has won a num-ber of important scholarships. She ishow continuing her studies under Pro-fessor Alexander Sverjensky and mak-ing fine progress.

"TAKE ONE HEDGEHOG . . ."

The German gipsy reported to havebeen fined for eating a hedgehog with-out an appropriate ration- couponshowed an epicurean knowledge aswell as the resourcefulnes of his race,for, properly cooked, the hedgehogmakes excellent eating, states the"Manchester Guardian."

According to one authority it can bestewed, toasted, or roasted, but thebest of all methods of treatment (andthe one usually adopted by gipsies inEngland) is to bake it in clay in awood fire. When removed, the claytakes with it the spines and skin,leaving white tender flesh with anappetising flavour, which resemblesthat of sucking-pig or spring chicken.

Remedy for cracks on a ceiling is tocover the affected parts with strips ofcalico dipped in a thick flour paste.Care should be taken that the edgesof the strips adhere perfectly to theceiling.

A FLORAL ARTIST

"BROUGHT ROMANCE TOTHE CABBAGE"

LONDONERS DRESS SIMPLY

LONDON, June 28.Women are finding work the only

antidote for strained nerves, and asthe call for voluntary help increasesit is, immediately answered. Millin-ers, dressmakers, models, and salesgirls give their spare hours to can-teens, ambulance work, and .packingcomforts for the troops. Others haveentirely changed their occupation,they are making uniforms, aeroplanewings, and filling shells, or workingtwelve hours a day on the land. Eacnweek sees more and more women ab-

sorbed into the industry of the warmachine as every other interest issubordinated to its needs. Even socialaffairs arranged for charity have beenpostponed until the atmosphere isless tense.

One I regretted was a showing ofbeautiful clothes and flower decora-tions in their true settings—a lovelyprivate house in Regent's Park;

Victor Stiebel's clothes are alwayslovely, although he has reduced sim-plicity to a fine art.

He will take an all-black sequin gownthat looks highly sophisticated, add anarrow collar of pique to the highneckline, and a small pique turn-backcuffs to the short, puffed sleeves, andthe effect is wickedly demure.

LIKE AN ACADEMY STILL LIFE.Constance Spry, who was to do the

flowers, is the girl who broughtromance to the cabbage, and could de-corate a ballroom with the contentsof the kitchen garden. For several•years now she has "done" the flowersfor most exclusive social functions. Ihave been intrigued to stand before anancient vase which she has white-washed, and with hedge flowers andfoliage, a cluster of purple broccoli, asmall cauliflower, the red leaves of abeetroot, etc., created decorative ar-rangement which, when placed in analcove with concealed lighting, looksexactly like an Academy still life pic-ture.

Her colour schemes are so unusual,sometimes very daring; then, by wayof contrast, the entire room will bedone in white and grey-green effects.Her school of floral art has attractedsome of the cleverest girls in society,and created a new profession forwomen.

With so many of her clients now liv-ing in the country she has been calledin for consultation on how to plangardens that will produce the maxi-mum amount of fruit and vegetablesand yet retain the charm of a flowergarden.

NOVELTIES GAY AND NEW.ilt is difficult in wartime for de-signers to initiate radical changes indress, for the elegant women who aretheir clients insist on utter simplicity

But fashion is never stationary and| has a constant need of novelty and

creation, and to satisfy this urge theyare presenting small and important de-tails to make this season's dresses lookdifferent, and also to give a woman achance to express her own indi-viduality. Velvet collars and cuffslook new on tailored suits, and manylight suits strike a sudden contrast byusing dark velvet.

The lines of one's coat are most im-portant whatever the season. Themodel I have sketched shows the figuremoulding silhouette, with flared full-ness at the hem, which gives a gal-lant swing as one steps out.

An important collar and fur pocketsmake this vastly becoming. On theother hand, a small turn-down collarplus the pockets will look equally smartif you have not the fur available.

This fitting line came in again inthe spring in London, which proveshow popular and becoming it is inany material and for all occasions. Invelvet it makes a smart modern even-ing coat.

NEW ZEALANDAIRMEN

MEETING WITH THE QUEEN

CHAT IN COCKTAIL BAR

(By Air Mail, from "The Post's" LondonRepresentative.)

LONDON, June 19.An informal chat with the Queen at

the cocktail bar at Overseas Housewill long be rememberedby New Zea-land airmen as the high light of theirfirst leave after arriving in England.The Queen, sipping orangeade, talkedwith them for about ten minutes, and jthe New Zealanders returned to theirstation thoroughly elated.

The New Zealanders were a party of jpilots and aircraftmen from the latest!draft of 50. They arrived in England!after an uneventful trip, "except," asone of the pilots said, "we did seethree depth-charges go off as we nearedthe English coast."

A number of them were invited toOverseas House when it was knownthat the Queen was to pay a visit.They included Pilot Officers C. Ray-mond (Waipukurau), G. E. Langdon(Hawera), L. E. Parry (Wellington),N. R. Mansfield (Christchurch), A.Ashworth (Alexandra), W. G. C. Gas-quoine (Nelson), E. Bethridge' Topp(Wellington), W. Shann (Auckland),H. Wright Morgan (Christchurch), andH. A. Stratton (Hastings).

They gathered in the Ulster Room,the New Zealanders' special room atOverseas House, and were received byLieutenant-Colonel E. ff. W. Lascelles,chairman of the New Zealand group ofthe league, and Mrs. Lascelles, andMiss J. Evans (Hawke's Bay), the re-!ceptionist at New Zealand House.

The Queen was accompanied by SirEvelyn Wrench. She shookhands witheveryone, and spent some time chat-ting.

"LADY WITH THE BLUE EYES."Pilot Officer Raymond was intro-

duced to the Queenas "an airman whomet your Majesty when he was a smallboy in Waipukurau."

"How very interesting," said theQueen,smiling at Pilot Officer Ray-mond as she shook hands with him."This is really delightful. And do youremember the occasion?"• "No, I'm afraid I don't, your]Majesty," he replied, to the Queen'svery great amusement.

Sir Evelyn added, however, that asa small boy Pilot Officer Raymond hadfrequently talked about "the lady withthe blue eyes" for a long time.

After the Queen left the New Zea-landers she visited other rooms inOverseas House. Just before she wasabout, to leave;shewas shown thecocktail bar, where a number of NewZealanders had congregated, andseveral Canadian soldiers.

Pilot Officer Morgan, as a latecomer,was introduced to her, and the Queentalked to him for several minutes.When she heard that he came fromChristchurch, she observed that it wasthe general opinion that Christchurchand Vancouver were the two "mostEnglish" cities in the Empire outsideBritain.

One of the soldiers present hadtaken part in the evacuation of Dun-kirk, when he was wounded. TheQueen was most sympathetic, andobserved that, he had earned a "nice,long leave."*

As she was leaving, the New Zea-landers called for three cheers, whichwere given very heartily.

"Oh, boy!" one of them was heard toremark after her Majesty had left. "Itwas worth coming to England for thatalone."

BAN ON CONFETTI

BRITISH CLERGY REJOICE

At the end of June a ban on confettibecame effective in England. This,according to "Lucio" in the "Manches-ter Guardian," was a matter for re-joicing among the clergy, who fervent-ly hope that the ban will not be liftedtill the conclusion of the war.

Itmight not be easy to discover whofirst imported into England and asso-ciated with marriage the throwing ofconfetti, which was part of the carnivallicence in Italy and elsewhere, but thehabit has reached great proportions inspite of numerous protests. It is notlikely that any of the substitutes willremain either. It would be positivelycriminal to throw rice at a weddingnowadays, and presumably the artificial"rose leaves" which are sometimes sub-stituted for confetti will disappear also.

There will remain only the conven-tional slipper, which can hardly be re-garded as waste, since it is generallypicked up again. But churchyards andpavements will be saved from un-pleasant 'litter and brides and bride-grooms will be spared discomfort-

TO REJUVENATE AN OLDFROCK

There are many ways of turning upthe hems of last year's dresses so asto bring them into line with the ex-treme brevity of this season's skirts,but if the material is a thin one, suchas crepe de chine, nothing looks betterthan a picot edge, advises an Englishwriter. To get this, decide first of allthe exact length wanted and run a lineof tacking where the bottom of theskirt is to be.

Take the dress, together with a reelof suitable thread, to one of the manyshops where they do machine hem-stitching and have a row worked onthe line of the tacking. Then cutthrough along the middle of the hem-stitching to get the picot effect. If pre-ferred, this edge can be turned overto the wrong side and a line of machinestitching worked close to the skirt'sedge.

AUSTRALIAN WOMAN'S UNIQUE JOB

FILM CENSOR'S VIEWS ON THE CINEMA

j However, it is not such a pleasurabletask as it may seem, for, as Mrs. Han-sen explains, "a censor can never re-lax." "It is quite a strain listening tothe dialogue and watching the actionfor hours on end. We must concentratethe whole time, and there is an atmo-

Isphere of great tension at the screen-ings," she said.

Before Mrs. Hansen became a filmicensor she was a member of the Edu-jcation Department, and she taught invarious New South Wales schools forabout two years. Mrs. Hansen also at-tended history and English lectures atthe Sydney University for two years.

JOB PLEASANTER NOW.According to Mrs. Hansen, the tech-

nical improvements in film productionduring recent yearshave greatly assist-ed the censor. "We can watch manyfeet of film now without noticing anyundue eye-strain, and also the qualityof the actual pictures has improved somuch that the job is"more pleasant."

Mrs. Hansen started her censorshipcareer when the talkies were just be-

The only woman film censor in Australia is Mrs. H. Hansen, ofSydney, who has been attached to the Commonwealth Film CensorshipDepartment for eight years, writes a "Sydney Morning Herald" cor-respondent. Mrs. Hansen has a job which many ardent film fanswould envy. She sees an average of three feature films on fivedays a week, in addition to numerous gazettes, short subjects, andnewsreels. If you are mathematically inclined you will deduce thatin eight years she has seen more than 6000 full length films.

"In those days it was quite a simplematter to read the dialogue, but now,with the popularity of sophisticatedcomedies, the dialogue is so swiftlyspoken it is increasingly difficult tohear every word," she said.

Mrs. Hansen confesses to beingemotional, and has often been reducedto tears by some particularly sympa-thetic acting. However, generallyspeaking, she enjoys comedies. Shealso likes the more educational shortfeatures, which she considers are bothinformative and entertaining.

NOT FOR CHILDREN.When she is not working at the

Censorship Department, Mrs. Hansenconcentrates on bringing up her 14----year-old son David, who is a pupil atthe North Sydney Church of EnglandGrammar School; playing golf; knittingfor the soldiers, and reading.

Mrs. Hansen definitely does not ap-prove of very young children going tothe pictures. "So often parents do notbother to consider whether or not afilm is suitable for their children. Theyshould always pay heed to the Censor-ship mark."

The Game Of Bridge

The Blackwood convention, intro-duced by Mr. Easley Blackwood, hasfound favour with many bridgeplayers. Since its introduction Mr.Blackwood has received many lettersconcerning this convention, askingquestions which show the need forclarification of some points. As a result,Mr. Blackwood has answered the ques-tions most frequently -asked by hiscorrespondents. The questions and theessential points of the answers detailedby Mr. Blackwood follow:—

(1) "What action should you takewhen you hold all the aces and wantto ask your partner how many Kingshe holds?"

You should first bid four no-trumps,though you already know that the re-ply must be five clubs, but your fourno-trump bid paves the way for askingyour partner how many Kings heholds. (The four no-trump bid beingthe basis of the Blackwood convention,it must be made even when holdingall four aces, otherwise it would beimpossible to ask about Kings.)

(2) "Is the person who bids four no-trumps the captain of the hand?"

Generally speaking, if the four no-trump bidder, after his partner's re-sponse, does not then bid five no-trumps, he becomes captain of thehand, and the decision as to the finalcontract must be left to him. Thereare, however, some exceptions. TheBlackwood convention is of littlevaluein a hand with a void suit. In orderto avoid duplication of values, the re-sponse to a four no-trump bid does notcount a void as an Ace. For this rea-son, the responder may hold valueswhich he cannot show by a conven-tional response. In this case, he shouldrecognise that the slam convention isof no value when holding such a hand

[and should reserve the right to vetohis partner's decision, if his partner, asthe result of what appears to be a dis-couraging reponse, should decide notto proceed to a slam. As an illustra-tion of this point, the bidding hasgone—

South should not chance bidding fiveidiamonds and having his partner pass,jHe should jump to six diamonds andNorth should recognise the situation asbeing that South holds only one Ace,but is void in a suit and is afraid thata five diamond bid (showing one Ace)might be passed.

Another illustration—The bidding has gone—

On this hand South should give theconventional response of five diamonds.

Specially Written for "The Post" by "Approach Bid."

THE BLACKWOOD FOUR NO-TRUMP CONVENTION

Hearts are obviously the agreed suitand there is no danger that a five-diamond response will be passed. Southshould give the conventional responseof five diamonds, as it is always pos-sible that North may hold the otherthree Aces and may bid five no-trumpsin an effort to reach a grand slam. IfNorth bids five hearts over the five-diamond response, South should vetothis decision and bid six hearts.

Except when holding a void suit,you should allow your partner tomake the final decision, as it is heand he alone who knows how manyare in the combined partnership hold-ing.

(3) "Should you ever bid-.five no-trumps if there is one Ace missing?"

In rubber bridge you should neveruse a five no-trump conventional bid.unless your partner holds all the Aceswhich you do not hold. (The responseto your four no-trump bid will havetold you how many Aces your part-ner holds.) A bid of five no-trumpsautomatically commits you to a smallslam, so information a* to the numberof Kings held by your partner willnot help you in deciding whether toproceed to a small slam. For this rea-son, at rubber bridge, a conventionalfive no-trump bid is used only as atry for a grand slam, as it guaranteesthe holding of all the Aces by thepartnership, while at the same time itasks about the number of Kings heldby the partner. The five no-trump, incontrast to the four no-trump bid, isa co-operative bid, after which eitherpartner may be justified in bidding fora grand slam. The five no-trumpbidder knows how many Kings areheld, but his partner may know some-thing about the particular Kings held,solidarity of suits, etc., and he, with

| the further knowledge, that ;his part-{ncr holds the missing Aces, may wellbe in the position to bid for a grand'

Islam. As an example, the bidding hasgone—

North can now bid seven spades.Souths bidding suggests that he iswilling to consider a grand slam ifNorth holds enough Kings. Southsfive no-trump bid was made, hopingthat his partner's response would en-able him to account for: all the miss-ing Kings, and thus locate the Kingof trumps, without which the grandslam should not be bid. North, hold-ing the King and knowing from hispartner's five no-trump bid that heholds the two missing Aces, shouldbid the grand slam.

When yourpartner's response to yourfour no-trump bid accounts for all theAces, you should always give somethought to the possibility of biddingfive no-trumps, even when, on yourholding, a grand slam contract mightnot be justified. It may be that theinformation that you hold the outstand-ing Aces will be all that is requiredto enable your partner to bid a grandslam.

(The Blackwood four no-trump con-vention will be further discussed innext week's notes.)

THE DANGEROUS TASK OFMINESWEEPING

THE. search for. mines is on.Daily, in all weathers, the tinyvessels of the tireless mosquito

; fleet sweep the seas and chan-nels cthat lead to New Zealand's har-bours. It is often monotonous, oftendangerous, usually uncomfortable. Butit.;-is done cheerfully by a brave littleband of men—-most of them New Zea-landers, with New Zealand officers.

When; war broke out the Dominionhad\the,nucleus of a mine-sweepingfleet. Stout fishing trawlers were re-quisitioned and converted and moreare feieing, added. Their ships' com-panies were for the most part membersof the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve,,.with, a leavening of seasoned sailors.Now," after a few months' training, they■are highly efficient, handling their craft- arid gear like veterans. .

For these men there is little timeashore. Theirs is an all-time, all-weatherjob. A flat calm is the exception. Butthe highly technical task of sweepingmust be carried out with the same pre-

r cision■when the sea stands on edge aswhen the gear cuts placidly through un-ruffled surfaces. It might be thoughtthat naval men, crossing and criss-crossing the ■ sea lanes daily, wouldbecome so familiar with topographythat they could carry out their jobwith their eyes shut. One needs onlyto see them in action to realise thedeadly accuracy that is required.

In principle, mine-sweeping is simple.Its success depends on the gear usedand the manner in which the work iscarried out.

A mine is a nasty piece of work. Itlooks what, it is—a diabolical bit ofmechanism. The crew of the mine-sweepers deal summarily with theseblack, horned monsters. From a safedistance rifles, Lewis guns, and a speciallin cannonare brought into action and,pierced by bullets, the danger is sentto the bottom. So far none of those,located in New Zealand waters hasbeen exploded.

Several formations are followed insweeping operations. In searching asuspected stretch of water the shipstravel in line abreast, each sweepinga path 400 yards wide. If a mine is

found there is an immediate changein formation. The ships are "stag-gered." so that their sweeps overlap,and then there is a relentless sweepmade of the area until it is entirelycleared. Back to search formation^ andso it goes on unceasingly.

Signals are of major importance mithese operations. All movements mustbe carried out simultaneously with thegreatest precision. The relative posi-tions of the various units must not vary.The lines cut through the sea must beabsolutely parallel, otherwise someareas might be missed or the sanieground gone over unnecessarily.Lamps,semaphores, and flag signalling areused, and the yeoman must know hisjob.

At sea for long stretches, sweepingin all but the fiercest storms, whenthe gear would be .damaged, shelteringby night under the lee, of some lonelyisland, the young crews are a cheer-ful lot. Theirs is a task that,has re-ceived little publicity and little recog-nition. Until the ill-fatedNiagara sanknear Auckland . few peope krieV. of.the existence of the mine-sweepers ortheir personnel. Yet their task is ofthe first importance, and is carriedout with skill and daring.

Crisis in the Diamond IndustryWHEN suitcases full of diamonds

began arriving in London re-v • cently from the Netherlandsand Belgium, it marked what is ex-pected to be only a temporary collapseof the cutting industry in which Am-sterdam and Antwerp have figured asthe world's premier centres, says the

,;"Christian Science Monitor."Actually it may give the executives

of the.industry a much-sought-for op-portunity to effect the reorganisationof' the industry which it has so longfelt was necessary.

Just before the war enveloped the■Low Countries, the diamond cuttingindustry faced a serious situation.Wages were so low that workers weredropping out of the trade. Businessin some classes of diamonds was at astandstill.

The situation was very differentfrom what it was at the start of theWorld War. At that time the wholeindustry stood still all of a suddenand remained so until 1915. After

■that1 there was plenty of work, wagesrose, arid, in 1919, the trade reached

• new peak of prosperity.

The war of 1939 brought with itsome immediate unemployment, afterwhich there was improvement to acertain extent. Recently there weremore than 2000 workers in employ-ment, but after the first improvementthere was a reaction owing to adverseconditions in the market for cutstones. Prosperity during the WorldWar was due to war profits, but re-cently these were non-existent. Ac-tivity up to a few weeks ago wasconfined to certain sorts of diamondsonly.

Now that jewels must competf»jnoreand more with other luxury articles,diamond traders cherish few illusionsas to any return of former conditions.No one knows what the future may-have in store for this industry, but;even should exceptional activity re-turn to the trade, it would not bringpermanent solution. The economiccrisis which. preceded the present waris thought to have wrought too greata devastation.

Belgium has grounds for more hopeas regards future prospects, thanks tosemi-official measures of reform. Onthese grounds traders hope that, if thesame policies are carried out in theNetherlands, they may lead to im-

proved conditions in Amsterdam aswell.

Reorganisation is looked upon ashighly necessary. The craft is nolonger as well paid as it used to be.The wage level has fallen so that itbarely covers necessaries. It is onlyin regard to hours of work that anyimprovement has taken place, but thathas little importance in relation tothe general conditions for workers inthe diamond industry.

Low wages, added to repeatedperiods of unemployment, havedammed. the flow of that new talent sonecessary to the trade. There havebeen only a few apprentices lately, andmany of these have left the craftagain in disappointmnt. The tradehas lost its attraction for many. Itis a mark of the situation that the Gen-eral Association of Jewellers, whichuntil recently had 200 members, nownumbers only 30.

When the war is over, and the in-dustry is again able to take up whereit left off in the Netherlands andBelgium, there is hope that new pros-pects may appear to rescue the indus-try for those who work with "theking of the precious stones."

"DUNKIRK"(An editorial of the "New York Times," June 1, 1940.)

//r^ 0 long as the English tongue survives, the word 'Dunkirk'will be spoken with reverence. For in that harbour, insuch a hell as never blazed on earth before, at the end of

a lost battle, the rags and blemishes that have hidden the soul ofdemocracy fell away. There, beaten but unconquered, in shiningsplendour, she faced the enemy.

"They sent away the wounded first. Men died so that otherscould escape. It was not so simple a thing as courage, which theNazis had in plenty. It was not so simple a thing as discipline,which can be hammered into men by a drill sergeant. It was notthe result of careful planning, for there could have been little. Itwas the common man of the free countries, rising in all his gloryout of mill, office, factory, mine, farm, and ship, applying to warthe lessons learned when:he went down the shaft to bring out trappedcomrades, when he hurled the lifeboat through the surf, when heendured poverty and hard work for his children's sake.

"This shining thing in the souls .of free men Hitler cannotcommand, or attain, or conquer. He has crushed it, where he could,from German hearts. It is the great tradition of democracy. Itis the future. .It is victory."

HOW EMOTION CHANGES THE BODY

OCCASIONALLY a friend will bereferred to as one who is absolutely

fearless, writes Dr. Irving Cutter in the"Chicago Tribune." Nothing disturbshim—at least outwardly. Nevertheless,the chances are that he feels many aninward qualm—signs of which may bedetected by a keen observer. Officershave marked soldiers who were cooland collected when actually under fire.The same group, however, may pre-sent many evidences of jittery be-haviour when the battle is over andthe emergency has passed.

We ordinarily think of disease assomething that destroys tissues anddefeats function. But this may notalways mean an invasion by bacteria.For example, we know how dependentwe are upon a proper proportion ofvitamins and minerals in the diet andwe will starve in the midst of plentyshould these elements be deficient. Inlike manner we can understand howboth the nerves and the cells dependupon messages from the brain of goodwill, of hope, of cheer. If these fac-tors are lacking; if—instead—the mindis filled with forebodings, we may ex-perience sooner or later changes inthe physical structure. The very in-tensity of our emotions may alter theoutput of an organ substantially—allwithin a few days. Its delicate com-ponents are sure to be affected aftera while.

I have a friend who has been a vic-tim of psoriasis for many years. Hehas been able to rid his skin of allblemishes by following a fat-free diet.But for weeks on end he may be sooccupied with the drive of businessthat he is obliged to neglect his health.He has noted consistently that shouldhe become worried, obtain too littlesleep, or be confronted with puzzlingproblems, the lesions will reappearpromptly. Cure is accomplished onlywhen he is able to obtain additionalslumber and divorce his mind fromfinancial cares.

The case is reported of a woman of40 who—during her early girlhood—en-countered many disappointments.Although she finally married ten yearsago, the companionship proved incom-patible. Because of her husband's

constant criticism she became intense-ly nervous. Naturally, she magnifiedthese episodes, and took them seriously.The upshot of the matter was a defi-nitely deranged digestion, with the de-velopment of a peptic ulcer with somebleeding. The lesion required a num-ber of months of treatment, and thephysician in charge was able to bringabout a better adjustment betweenhusband and wife. Hemoglobin—which had fallen to 64 per cent.—rosewithin a few weeks to normal, whenrecovery was complete. Coincidentwith the family reconciliation, all gas-tric distress faded away. v

Many histories point clearly to thefact that asthmatic attacks may be pre-cipitated by anxiety and—as we allknow—mental strain of any sort mayinfluence the rate of the circulation.Most instances of "palpitation" arenervous phenomena. Vomiting, so-called nervous headache, and rapidbreathing will come with almost anysort of mental strain. Every studentwho has faced a gruelling examinationwill recognise these symptoms.

Terror can bring on what is tan-tamount to paralysis of the muscles.,"I was so frightened, I could notmove" is a common expression. In ad-dition, the face is blanched and theindividual feels as though his "pump"had actually leaped into the throat.Later, the rush of blood to the faceand skin is responsible for the sensa-tion of heat which may be accompaniedby sweating. We all realise that thesemanifestations are responses on thepart of the automatic nervous systemwherein control—acquired by practiceand in meeting situations—is lost.

Some danger lies in the fact thatsuch disturbances may recur so Hre-

-1quently that a time will comewhen thecardiac organ may race as a matterof habit. In other words, it will takelonger with each passing incident toquiet down. One such example was re-lated, by a colleague not' long ago.The patient was thought to havethyroid disease because of a tremor ofthe hands and a rapid pulse. A care-ful investigation—plus a metabolictest—ruled out the slightest troublewith this gland. The young woman inquestion was found to be sufferingfrom an overbearing, dictatorialmother. A week of complete rest-away from home—restored the rhythmto normal. I

The BookmanWAR READING

WAYS OF ESCAPE

FAVOURITES, OLD AND NEW

(Written for the "Evening Post" byA.M.)

"Quivis" has opened up a subject ofinterest to millions. As he says, tastesdiffer. One may find consolation thesedays in reading Edgar Wallace, andanother in Plato; and, strange thoughit may seem to some, the same mailmay go to both these writers. But itis possible, I think, to make some sortof rough classification of books in re-lationto our special needs in this timeof war, and "Quivis's" preferences andcomments point to several directionsof inquiry and speculation.I must say I share "Quivis's" dis-

inclination to read books about eventsleading up to this war. For one thingthe story>: is extraordinarily painful.And,-while we know its main outlines,it may be years before we learn aboutfactors that-turned the scale withStatesmen. Then, in.this war of amaz-ingly rapid developments, books aresometimes" quickly outdated. Specu-lations arid hopes may be upset by thetime they and journals arrive here.

The: literature to which men andwomen turn for refreshment knowsno bounds. The choices contributedrecently by distinguished people to theEnglish "Countryman" cover booksfrom the Greeks and the Bible to Mr.P. G. Wodehouse. I knew a doctor•who. sometimes took a book on algebrato bed with him; perhaps today hefinds even more comfort in that (tome) strange field. Since mathematicsis purely impersonal, it may offer aperfect medium of escape. I myselfmust plead guilty to reading detectivestories, but, as the "Countryman" col-lections show, I am in good company.And "escape"seems hardly an adequateword for one's motives for readingthese days. It is true one reads toget away from the conflict for a while,but may we not say this helps us tobear our part in it, remote and humblethough it may be, with more vigour?

Some rough conclusions may bedrawn from the "Countryman's" lists.One is that many readers mix theirfare freely. Mr. Henry Nevinson, thatveteran crusader in many lands fortruth and justice, couples Mr. Wode-hbuse with Gibbon, Carlyle, and theGreek Anthology, and Sir MartinHarvey chooses Mr. John Steinbeck,author of "Grapes of Wrath," to keepthe famous humorist company. Gen-eral Dunsterville, the original of Kip-ling's. Stalky, reads Shakespeare,Thackeray, Dickens, Galsworthy, andH. G. Wells. A tendency that I thinkI detect is to keep away from thepsychological novel of recent years.At a time like this there is preciouslittle refreshment to be found in manyof these works, the kind to which Mr.St. John Ervine refers when, criti-cising most novelists under forty-fiVe,he says "they seem always to be tak-ing out their inadequate intestines tohave a look at them." In the yearsbetween thetwo great wars satire hadan enor^ojas run.and^np doubt withgopdr'r6asbiff/ffeut%'for one- get verytiredof' satire,;especially the kind thatpeoples a world almost entirely withgoats and monkeys. Xooking aroundat the folk one knows, and observingthat, to all appearances'^ they live de*cent, industrious, and helpful lives,one may wonder what kind of peoplethese writers mix with. For victorywe need to see not what is bad in manso much: as what is good.

Classics of English fiction figure1largely in tjhese lists. I wonder ifthis war will bring revival to somecomparatively neglected author. Thiswas Trollope's fortune in the last war.He had suffered an eclipse partly be-cause he was so frank about hismethods of writing. It was thoughtthat a man who made such a businessof writing could not be a true artist.But Trollope's quiet stories providedjust the way of escape that a lot ofpeople were looking for, andnot only was he widely read,but he • won an advance in re-putation that he still holds, i recallone or two bad Sundays when I readTrollop'e and my greater standby,Dickens. "Quivis" picks out "key"books. Is there a "key" book forDickens? Is it "David Copperfield"?I would find it hard to choose be-tween "David Copperfield," "MartinChuzzlewit," and "Bleak House." Isthere a "key" bqok for Scott? Gethalf a dozen Scott enthusiasts, whichmight be a little difficult these days,and each might choose a differentstory.I would like to mention one otherauthor for whom I think there is aclearly-marked "key" book, and that isTolstoi. An English peer said he wasgoing to take "War and Peace" withhim when he joined the Army. Iknowa naval officer who places it firstamong novels, and always takes it tosea with him. :

History, of course, is rich in enter-tainment, instruction, and comfort.The other day I came upon a veryheartening summary of Rome's longstruggle with Hannibal. Do you re-member that when the surviving con-sul returned' after the disaster ofCannae, Where his army had been de-stroyed, the Senate,Who were his poli-tical opponents, not only did not cen-sure him, but praised him for riot hav-ing despaired of the Republic? "They(the Romans)"kept up their heartsagainst the enemy abroad, and theykept their tempers with one anotherat home." There is our own Welling-ton. I have just been reading a newbook on Napoleon and Wellington byan English- soldier, in which he cham-pions Wellington as a soldier and aman, and makes shrewd points againstthe Napoleonic legend.' Wellington'sfortitude and serenity and his un-swerving devotion; to duty are wellworth studs'"'tbdayiI'when we dependon character, as well as armaments tosee us through. As for poetry, thechoice- is enormous. It is significanthow-many people turn to Wordsworth.When you read Wordsworth, said Ed-ward Grey, Foreign Secretary whenthe last war broke out, you feel thatyou can.never be beaten. •

Arrangements have been concludedfor two more novels by Miss RosemaryRees to appear in America. They are"Sane Jane," which was written someyears ago, and "I Can Take Care ofMyself,", the latestadditionto a lengthylist frqin;her pen. Miss Rees presentedMrs. Anthony, Eden, wh,o opened theNew Zealand apple season, with aQ-^py of "My New Zealand Holiday."Mrs." Eden was much pleased, for sheMas-happy recollections of a visit tothe Dominion.

PUBLIC LIBRARIES

BOOKS OF THE WEEK

The City Librarian has chosen "MineInheritance," by Frederick Niven, asthe book of the week, and has fur-nished the following review:—

Novels with minor historical themeshave lately had a very substantialvogue and generally speaking the his-torical background has been treatedwith as great care and as little dis-tortion as by the earlier masters ofEnglish fiction. The chief virtue ofMr. Niven's new book is its completelack of what Robert Louis Stevenson,in speaking deprecatingly of his ownbook, "The Black Arrow," called "tush-ery." Mr. Niven retains the essentialhumanity which is the common de-nominator between historical charac-ters and those of our own time.

The theme of the book is the settle-ment by the Red River in Canada ofHighland crofters who had been evict-ed by the Duke of Sutherland fromtheir holdings so that his sheep runsmight be extended. The settlementscheme was supported by the Earl ofSelkirk, ;and all would have gone wellhad the Hudson Bay Company beenmore concerned with the fate of itsprotegees, and if the North-west Com-pany had not been annoyed at theSettlement's installing itself on. coun-try where, before, its ;own trappershad been free to roam at will. TheNorth-west Company was by no meansas reputable a concern as the HudsonBay Company, and resorted to under-hand tactics in order to achieve its ob-jective of driving the expatriatesaway,stirring up the Indian tribes, and usingwhat today have come to be known as"fifth column" methods to incite dis-sension among the settlers themselves.

The story is seen through the eyesof one of the minor characters, and isaltogether a thoroughly good piece ofhistorical writing, in which the excite-ment which Mr. Niven made himselffree to exploit by his choice of sub-ject has never been allowed to becomesensationalism.

RECENT LIBRARY ADDITIONS.I Other titles selected from recent ac-cession lists are as follows:—General:"The American Presidency," by H. J.Laski; "The Battle of the River Plate,"by Lord Strabolgi; "Goering—Ger-many's Most Dangerous Man," by K.Singer. Fiction: "Dust Before theWind," by J. Sutherland; "The CubanLegacy," by S. M. Parkman; "Deathat the Dog," by J. Carman.

FAR EASTERN PROBLEMS

At the invitation of the Institute ofPacific Relations, scholars in manycountries have been engaged sinceearly in 1938 in the preparation ofstudies forming part of an inquiry intothe problems arising from the conflictin the Far East. The purpose of thisinquiry is to provide an impartial andconstructive analysis of the majorissues which may have to be con-sidered in any future adjustment ofinternational relations in that area.The studies include an account of theeconomic and political. ..^conditionswhich led to the outbreak of fightingin July, 1937, with respect to China, toJapan, and to the other foreignPowers concerned; an evaluation ofdevelopments during the war periodwhich affect the policies^ .of jalL. thePowers in relation to the-Far Easternsituation and, finally, an estimate ofthe principal political, economic, andsocial conditions which may be ex-pected in a post-war period, the pos-sible forms of adjustment which mightbe applied under these conditions, andthe effects of such adjustments uponthe countries concerned. .The aim isto present informationin a form whichwill be useful to those who lack thetime or expert knowledge to study thevast amount of material now appear-ing in a number of languages.

Four volumes of the series have beenreceived. These are:—"Japanese In-dustry: Its Recent Development andPresent Condition." "The Problem ofJapanese Trade Expansion in the Post-War Situation," "Australia's Interestsand Policies in the Far East," and"German Interests and Policies in theFar East." Each volume is an authori-tative and up-to-date survey, but ofcourse the outlook on all the problemsdiscussed may have to be reorientatedafter the conclusion of the presentEuropean war. History is moving soswiftly in these days that a book pub-lished today may be out-of-date tomor-row.

PIONEER MISSIONARY

"Ehoa I tell you that Te Matiu wasthe very busy man." Thus said anold Maori when speaking of the Rev.Joseph Matthews and telling of thatpioneer missionary's long journeys tooutlying kaingas, first on foot, lateron horseback; of Native teachers, firsttaught to read, then trained for laywork; of Native clergy trained,churches built, church work andschools organised; of epidemics com-bated for weeks, and sometimes formonths; of wheat sown, harvested, andground; of barns built, and filled withharvest; of orchards and gardensplanted; of ropes made for all, and ofa thousand and one other activities.Truly, Te Matiu was the very busyman, and in "Matthews of Kaitaia" istold the full story of his arduous mis-sionary work away in the far northof New Zealand over one hundredyears ago. The volume is the com-pilation of two grandchildren, and itis published by Messrs. A. H. and A.W. Reed. It captures much from thepast that was in danger of being lostand is therefore a valuable contribu-tion to JMew1Zealand's Centennial pub-lications.

TOLSTOY MUSEUM

Tolstoy's literary heritage, togetherwith pictures, engravings, sculptures,and other material relating to him,are all being concentrated in theTolstoy Museum in Moscow. Morethan 100,000 pages of manuscripts, let-ters, and other material which wereformerly kept in the Lenin Library inMoscow, the Saltykov-Shchedrin Lib-rary in Leningrad, the Central ArchiveAdministration, and the LiteraryMuseum of the People's Commissariatof Education have already been trans-ferred to the museum, which will alsoreceive all the Tolstoy exhibits at theTretyakov Gallery, the Museum ofFine Arts in Moscow, and the RussianMuseum at Leningrad. In the collec-tion are"proofs with Tolstoy's correc-tions which reveal the process of hiswork on "War and Peace," "AnnaKarenina," and other novels. Amongother treasures are Tolstoy's diariesand letters covering a period of forty-eight years,: the diaries of Tolstoy'swife, and about 30,000 letters writtento Tolstoy, some of them from' Tur-genev, Nekrasov, and Fet.

Wit and HumourNOTHING TO IT.

"Sculpture .is very easy, isn't it?" re-marked the sweet young thing.

"Very, very easy," answered thesculptor, "and very, very simple. Youjust take a block of marble and a chiseland knock off all the marble you don'twant."

"Aye," said the old man, "I be theoldest in the village—ninety-five comeChristmas—and I reckon I'd be a hun-derd if it hadn't been for this 'ere put-ting back of clocks."

BUT HOW ABOUT THE STEAK.Diner: I've been waiting half an hour

for that steak.Waiter: Yes, sir, I know you have.

If everyone was as patient as you, thiswould be a better world.

"How are the fish in these parts?"asked the visitor.

The fisherman looked up with asigh. ."Well. Ireally can't say. . For. a weekI've dropped them a line each daybut so far have had no reply."

A certain officer's cpnfidential reporthad written on it, by his commandingofficer: "This officershould go far." TheBrigade Commander added: "The far-ther the better," and finally the DistrictCommander wrote: "He should start atonce!"

REBUKE."Late again, Simpkins; how's that?"

asked a schoolmaster of a tardyscholar. , J

."Please, sir, I got up late, and only

left myself ten minutes to dress," saidthe boy. .

"But I can dress comfortably in thattime."

"Yes, sir; but I wash!"

Lady (to applicant): Yes, I adver-tised for a maid-of-all-work.You arean early riser?

Applicant: Indade an' Oi am, ma am!At me last place Oi was up and hadbreakfast ready an' all the beds madebefore anybody else in the house wasup!

In Germany a man strolled up to acorner and, pausing, tightened his trou-ser belt another notch.

A Gestapo member demanded,sharply:

"What are you doing?'"I was just having my breakfast,

was the reply.

EDUCATIONAL."Yes, stamp collecting is educational,"

said the fond mother to the visitor."For instance, where is Hungary,

Without looking up from his stampbook, the young collector answeredpromptly: "Two pages in front otItaly."

A Nazi in Berlin blocked the passageof a man in the street.

"Step aside, Jew!" he commanded."Step aside for a Nazi."

The other, a good German citizen,looked at the Nazi with all the dis-taste of six years written on his face.

"I'm not a Jew," he said in a tiredvoice. "I just happen to look intelli-gent."

RESTRAINT.To impress on his pupils the need

of thinking before speaking, the mastertold them to count fifty before sayinganything important, and one- hundredif it was very important.

Next day he was speaking, standingwith his -back to the fire, when henoticed several lips moving rapidly.

Suddenly the whole class shouted:''Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, a hundred.Your coat's on fire, sir."

CHANGING THE SUBJECT.Mr. Newrich had been asked to dis-

tribute prizes at the local school. Dur-ing his speech he dwelt on the benefitsof education. "What a wonderful thingis education!" he said. "Now, takearithmetic. If we are educated weknow that two twos make four, thatfour fours make 16, that nine ninesmake—and then there's history. . . ."

At a small chapel in one of theYorkshire dales the appointed minis-ter had failed to make his appearanceat the time for the beginning of theusual service.

One of the waiting congregation, alocal farmer, was eventually per-suaded to officiate as substitute for theabsent cleric. The lesson was the chap-ter from the Book of Daniel, whichcontains the oft-recurring passage: Atwhat time ye hear the sound of thecornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery,dulcimer, and all kinds of music.

The farmer, with evident trepida-tion, waded three times through thecomprehensive catalogue of ancientBabylonian instruments.

When, however, he again came to"At what time ye hear," he paused fora moment, wiped the perspiration fromhis brow, and then continued: It'st'same band again, friends. A needn'tread 'em out.

[ NEEDS PEP."You sold me a car two weeks ago.""Yes, sir.""Tell me again all you said about it

then. I'm getting discouraged."

"I told your sister that I love her,and that we are going to be marriedin the winter."

"July?""No, I really love her."

"Finding the campaign interesting?"the friend asked the political candi-date..

"Well," he replied, "I certainly amlearning a lot about my past I neverknew before."

IT'S OLD BUT GOOD.: Garage Mechanic: What's the trouble,lady?

' Mrs. Newdriver: They say that Ihave a short circuit. Can you lengthenit while I wait, please?

"When a person is blind, his hearingis more acute," said the professor, ex-plaining the law of compensation.

"Oi see,'" said Pat. "Oi often noticedthat if a man has one short leg theother is always longer."

STICKY. :"I've got a surprise for you, my

dear," said Hubby. "I've varnished thekitchen floor while you were out."

"And I've got a surprise for you,darling," responded Wine. "You'veused a jar of golden syrup to do itwith."

Boss: There are two dollars missingfrom this desk and only you and Ihave the key. What about it?

Office Boy: Well, sir, let's each putin a dollar and say no more about it.

EXCITING CUSTOMER.The mother took her little daughter

into a shoe store to buy her a pair ofplay shoes. Before the little girl wouldconsent to even try on a pair she saidto the clerk, "Can these shoes runfast?" ■ :

PROOF "ENOUGH.An ambitious hostess entertained a

dinner party of distinguished authors.These discoursed largely during themeal, and bored one another and moreespecially their host, who was not lit-erary. To wake himself up he excusedhimself from the table with a vaguemurmur about opening a window, andwent out into the hall. He found thisfootman sound asleep in a chair. Heshook the fellow, and exclaimed,angrily, "Wake up! You've been listen-ing at the keyhole." ,

Collecting fares in the black-out, thebus conductor approached an old ladywho kept him waiting while she mad£quite sure her pennies were not half-crowns.

"Feel the edges, lady," said the con-ductor. "You can always tell that

Iway."She thanked him, and when she was

getting out she pressed a coin into hishand, saying: That tip's worth know-ing. Get yourself a packet of cigar-ettes. 'X.

The conductor thanked her, andwhen she had gone he felt the edge ofthe coin. It was a farthing.

"Have you anything to say before Ipass sentence?" asked the Judge. ;

"I certainly have, me Lud," repliedthe. accused. \£L* desire ,to . take.-.thisopportunity of stating with reserve ofcircumlocution that in my opinion thepenalty imposed upon me by thiscourt should be in keeping with mystation in life, or, as it were, commen-surate with my social position, whichhitherto has been oneof no inconsider-able importance." :"Well/ remarked the Judge drily;"you certainly seem to like long sen-tences. Ten years."

MODERN METHOD.A young lady from Boston was ex-

plaining."Take an egg," she said, "and make

a perforation in the base with somesuitable pointed instrument, and a cor-responding one in the apex. Then, byapplying the lips to one aperture aridforcibly exhaling the breath, dischargethe shell of its contents."

"Well, well," said the farmer's wifewho was listening, "it beats all howfolks do things nowadays. When Iwas a girl, we just made a hole in eachend and blew."

At a certain convalescent hospitalfor naval officers there was a particu-larly pretty nurse.

One after another the officers invitedher out to dinner—only to be told bythe matron, a very strict individual,that therules of the hospital wouldnotallow this.

One day, however, a 'new patient,who had made the usual invitation andhad received the same answer, said tothe matron: How very unfortunate, asI happen to be her brother.

"How very unfortunate indeed," re-plied the matron, "as I happen to beher mother 1"

HALF-WAY UP A RAINBOW

"I've been flying again ... to Nel-son and back. It was a rainy daywhen I went, and it gave me such anice adventure. - We had a rainbowthat seemed to be following us! Yes,it did. It kept up with us for a longway. I've often been reasonably nearthe foot of a rainbow—butnever half-way up, as we werein the plane! Com-ing back was quite as fascinating inanother way. The mountains had lotsand lots of cottonwool mist tangled intheir hair, and sometimes we lookeddown on complete 'hills and valleys' ofthe cottonwool, not a sign of a moun-tain underneath at all. The Kaikourasglistening in the morning sunlight,were like frozen waves above a soft,woolly sea. I could have stayed upall day with great pleasure! But ifI had, I'd have found myself in Sydneyinstead of Wellington!"

THE NEW SKATES

(A Story for Tinies.)

One day when Alice woke up shesat up and looked at the window. "Oh,good! It's snowing," she said, andjumped out of bed. "I hope I can playin the snow. I'll ask Mummy." Sheput on her dressing-gown and slippersand ran downstairs. She found Mummyin thekitchen making her own and herfather's breakfast. "Please, Mummy,can I go snowballing today?" she said."Yes, all right, dear," said Mother."But run upstairs and wash and bequick." Alice washed and dressed. Sheput on her snow suit as she was to gosnowballing. She had quite forgottenUncle Hal was to come and stay. I

Uncle Hal lived in England and shehad never seen him. When she hadeaten her breakfast she ran out to joinher friends in a lovely game of snow-balling. When they were sick of snow-balling everyone except Alice had askate on the pond.

Alice was miserable. Skating waslovely fun, but she had no skates. Shesat on the edge of the pond watchingthe others.

All of a sudden she rememberedUncle Hal. She jumped up and ranhome. She ran through the gate, upthe path, and into the house. "Oh,Mother," she panted, "is uncle hereyet?"

"Yes, dear," said Mother, "he is inthe living-room waiting for Daddyand you."

"Me?" said Alice in surprise, and raninto the living-room. Uncle Hal greet-ed her with a kiss and then he said,"I have a surprise for a little snowgirl," and took out a pair of skates.

"Oh, thank you," said Alice andgave uncle a kiss.

"Grey Owl" Thinks About Career*,

Ring members, we would like t<>know your ideas on different subject*. . . about homework, games, car-eers, manners, anything you thinl?about. Here is "Grey Owl's" opin.-,ion about careers for girls and boys."I think it is a great idea to have 3corner for members' opinions," stofjwrites. "Someone has said that boysshould learn to fly. I think girlfshould learn also (provided they arainterested, of course). When I an*seventeen I am going to learn to Hjjr.and I am looking forward to it. ,-|think that girls should be given 4

I chance in the same fields as the boyj|,I do not see why girls should be con*fined to the ordinary everyday jobjas they are. Boys are usually a»lowed to choose their own careers, anqjif girls were too I know that the#would prove they were equally effi*cient. After this war is overall kind|of pilots will have to be replaced, an<!therising generation will do it.

The Birthday Adventure

TIEATHER pulled the cover off herxx typewriter with a sigh, then gazedat the little sign above*her which said"Smile and the world smiles with you."She started to hum a little so thatVivian, a tall solemn girl who sat nearher, remarked, "What have you to humabout on a Saturday morning when itlooks like rain at any minute?"

"Well, you see," answered Heather."It's my birthday, and even if it is a.working-day at least I can be cheerful.I've all this afternoon free.

"But I would have liked to havedone some shopping." Her face cloud-ed. "Aunt Clare gave me ten shillingsthis morning." She glanced down atthe neat little gold watch which hadbeen given her and brightened again.

"H'm," sniffed Vivian. "Just wait tillyou've been in here doing two hours'solid typing. You won't feel so bright."

Heather, however, tossed her curlyhead and started her work, with.'herthoughts racing to the little tea she.was giving. "Fifteen years," shebreathed. "I am getting old."

About ten minutes later the buzzerwent and the manager's voice washeard, "Miss Clifford, come into myoffice, please."

Heather jumped up while Viviansmiled.

"What do you think he wants mefor?" she whispered.

"You've probably typed some letterswrong or something terrible," repliedVivian. "I knew you wouldn't becheerful long."

Heather walked over to his officeandhaving been told to enter looked won-Ideringly at him.

Mr. Withers glanced, at her brightface and said briskly, "Ah, Miss Clif-ford, I want you to go a message forme." Heather's face relaxed. Mr.Withers then explainedhe had receivedfrom America a valuable necklace, acopy of one worn in a film just re-leased. He wanted her to deliver itto a jeweller in the town. After givingher instructions he also explained shewas to be very careful. The reason hehad picked her, he told her, was be-cause she would not be suspected ifanything happened.

(Written by "Mischievous," 14, City.)

Part 1.

Heather swung out of his room andhummed even more loudly as she but-toned up her coat. Vivian looked insurprise and Heather laughed. "Whatdid I tell you?" she said,.and with theparcel wrapped up carefully in herpurse, which she slung over her shoul-der, she ran down on to the street.

The weather was clearing, and Hea-ther beamed at the black, shiningstreets.

She soon found the jeweller, butdecided she'd walk up the stairs in-stead of using the lift. It was theeighth floor and.by the time Heatherhad reached the top. she stopped, ex-hausted. Opposite the aoor with thejeweller's name engraved on it, wasthe lift, and lounging against the opengates was a man. "They must have anew lift-man," Heather thought, andwas about to walk over when some-thing struck her. The man wasn'twearing the usual uniform of the lift-man and his face was dark and scowl-ing. Then a thought flashed throughher mind: supposing he was a thief.

Heather felt her knees knockingviolently and chided herself, "Don'tbe a silly," she thought. "This is 1940,and broad daylight." • 'Heather,with heart pattering, openedthe door. The little office for thetypist was empty and through theglass window Heather saw a scenewhich caused her to stifle a cry as shegazed, wide-eyed. , :

Mr. Banks, the jeweller,:was seatedon his chair, while a frightened typiststood behind him. Both seemed' half-dazed* but the' two < men in front ofthem didn't.. One, a tall, thin man,was levelling a gun at Mr. Banks. !

Heather realised she must act quick*ly. The supposed,liftmanwould suspectand would probably come charging inbefore she had time. Quickly sheseized the telephone and dragging itdown behind the wall she rang withtrembling fingers her office number.Then in a suppressed whisper shespoke to Mr. Withers, just managing tosay, "Come to Mr. Banks's with policequick—"

SOMETHING FOR YOU TO MAKE

This doll's cradle is quite easy to make. First paint or crayon the pic-ture, then paste on thick paper or thin cardboard. Cut out and foldon dotted line. Cut the two lines at the ends, taking care not to goover the edge. Now slip the two ends, which you have painted andpasted on thick paper or thin cardboard, into the slits. You'll hare ft

cradle for a tiny doll then.
