THE LONG HAUL, . ~. »[ RAILWAYS' STRENGTH

' AMERICAN CHAMPION

i Views regarding road and rail Com-petition, expressed by Mr. Samuel M.

1Vauclain,' chairman of the board of

" management of Baldwin Locomotive

' Works, U.S.A., in- a recent issue of; "Nation's Business," mako intereat-. ing reading. For nearly seventy years[ Mr. Vauclain haa been intimately

associated with railways in the UnitedI States. Out of his experiences has« grown the opinion that tho. public|■ treats the railways unfairly. He says.he ■considers the public attitado is

economically dangerous. Ho has alsojcome to the conclusion that modernj business at present simply cannot do

without the railways.'. As an example of the unfair, econ-> omically dangerous attitudo he men-

tions, Mr, Vauclain quotes tho follow-i ing incident:—I While in Cincinnati Ono clay I» heard a gentleman complain about

freight fates between. New York Cityi and his store.j " 'The railways charge me too much

to haul my goods from thero to here,'• he complained.t " 'How much .does it cost to get

' your goods from your freight station, in} Cincinnati to your store?' I asked.

figured a minute and then re-

' pliod, 'By George! I nover thought of; that.*'

' "Of course his local cartage was his: bigger item,"t "As a manufacturer Of locomotives1I must study all forms of transporta-tion, V adds Mr, Vauelain, "yet I ant• only a necessary evil to our railways.-

J Because railways cannot exist with*■ out motive power and locomotives pro-. vide,that motive power, tho- railwayss buy somo locomotives from tho works} with which I am identified. I've had

' many experiences with railway officials,. This state- of affairs leaves nid free to

' express my opinions on the public's5 attitude. My chief opinion is that

railways are getting the worst of it.; MOTOR TRANSPORTATION.i "You.hear a lot of loose talk about

' motor trucks. They are mighty useful. at times. On pick-ups and city distri-bution, and on short hauls over higli-c ways paid for by our citizens, they• aid- materially iv transportation. Yet

' they're, not indispensable.j "After the World War wo had twoactive plants. The old works in Phila-

delphia employed about 10,000 men.About .the same number were employed

•in the new works at Eddystone,

' twelve miles-down the Delaware from[ tho Philadelphia plant. Many tons of

material had to be transported from: the old to the new plant daily.3 "We had been persuaded to invest3 in a fleet of motor trucks. After in-t vestigation we found that we might. soon have an endless chain of them,

twenty-four miles long, running be-tween the two plants,, if the city au-

I thorities didn't enjoin us. By a little• figuring we found it was much cheaper! to more our stuff by rail, loading and

unloading at oach plant, than to trans-fer any part of it with trucks. So we

" practically retired from the truckingbusiness.'.'

Mr. Vauelain points out that in thoUnited States, in spite of enormously■ expensive precautions, safety devicesinnumerable, and "Cross Crossings, Cautiously"^campaigns, some motor-ists continue to ignore or take chances

' with railway trains. The millennium

' would be ushered in with the completeabandonment of grade crossings. This

■ feat of engineering would be so expen-i siv'e that national, State, and municipali Governments would sharo it with tho5 railways. By that time city streets. would be two and three-deckor3 and: electric street cars would run undor-• ground.; More speed explained tho motor

truck. With millions of tax money1built into concrete highways and more• than three million trucks on them, to

Bay nothing of morp than a million

" buses, short hauls on railways in UnitedStates were becoming things of the. past, particularly if the short hauls

i were for passengers. The railwayswould meet this situation in some man-

"> ner. They were meeting it in many- eases.1 THE BACKBONE.: Mr. Vauclain considers that in somei future time passengers and freight will. be transported by airline, waterways,

and highways in increasing numbersI and quantities, but he firmly behevos1 that the railways will be the backbone; of transportation for at least anotheri century. . 1> "So far," ho says, "they have ad-■■ justed themselves to changing condi-

tions- If you doubt the advisability, of maintaining lines of communication

' between raw supplies and factories,1 take a short look at England, and re-

member that Kipling oiiee said that no3 great nation'perished save through a• failure to handlo its transportation.1 "While you are thinking of water-- ways, highways, and airways, please• give a little thought to the railways,

without which you would be back ia

' the days of tho picturesque, uncom-fortable waggon."

DRINKING AT DANCES

CABARETS AND HALLS

ALCOHOL AT WEDDINGS

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)CHRISTCHURCH, 13th August.

The Christchurch Presbytery resolv-ed to-day that the Christchurch CityCouncil and all county and'boroughcouncils iv the district be urged togrant cabaret and dance hall licensesonly- on condition that no liquor isconsumed or kept on the premises. Theresolution was the outcome of the Rev.T. W. Armour's temperance report,which stated that, despite the effortsof the City Council to settle thetrouble, drinking at dances still wenton as badly as ever.

The question of alcohol at weddingswas also discussed. It was _ commonerror, said one member, that port winecould' be drunk at weddings withouttransgressing any of tho aims of tem-perance. Quito a number of respect-able church-going people consideredthat it Was part of a wedding cere-mony to supply liberal quantities ofwine. A time had come when alcoholmust be outlawed from every walk oflife. Tho Rev. J. A. Allen said thatsome people even regarded with super-stition the talcing of wine at weddings.They thought that it was necessary toensure happiness in after-life. Thomatter was left undecided in the mean-time, until information on the subjectcould bo gathered from members of thoPr eabytery.

PLASTERERS' AWARD» —

• INTERPRETATIONS SOUGHT

The Arbitration Court to-day hoardan application for interpretations ofcertain, provisions of tho plasterers'award.

Mr. "W". J. Wakelin appeared forthe Labour Department, Mr. W. J.Mountjoy for the employers, and Mr.W. Broadley for the workers' union.

Clause 2 (a) of the award providesthat the minimum rate of pay forjourneymen plasterers shall be 2s 4Jdper hour. Clause 9 (a) provides thatmen employed on coloured work shall,receive not lass than 4d_ per hour 1

extra. The question raised waswhether the 4d an hour should be paidin addition to the rate regularly re-ceived by the workers, notwithstandingthat such was in excess of tho mini-mum prescribed in.the award.

An interpretation was also askedof a provision in clause 6 (a) whichprovides that suburban work in thecase of employers carrying on businessin Wellington City means work per-formed beyond a.milo and a half fromTe Aro Post Office. A WeDington firmadvertised in the- "Evening Post" (cir-culating largely in Petone) for plaster-ers for work in Petone. Plastorerswere engaged on the work in Petone,and not in Wellington. The firm didnot pay fares or travelling time toWellington men. Did tno employercommit a breach of the award?

Mr. Wakelin's contention, was thatif a firm's only place of business -wasin Wellington, and it took contractsoutsido the city, the employer mustpay travelling time.

Argument followed in regjard to themeaning of certain of the provisionsof tho travelling clause.

His Honour said the clause was ob-viously very incomplete, and did not'cover many things which it ought tocover. Tho argument had done goodin making that point clear. Tlio clauseshould bn further considered by theConciliation Council. There were diffi-culties- in all the suburban workers'clauses; there were so many border-lino cases. The Court would do itsbest but he doubted whether thatwould bo satisfactory even to theCourt.

Another question submitted for in-terprotation was whether it was anoffence to employ carpenters on fixingthistle board, which was composed ofplaster with a paper covering onether side, for wall partitions, andwhothor it would be an offenco for car-penters to fix such if the joints wererequired to be finished off with plaster-ed joints.| The Court reseived its decisions.

THE NEW CONCORDAT_* .

REV. E. BLAMIRES REPLIESTO CRITICISM

(To the Editor.)Sir,—ln a recent issue "Fair Play" and

"Inert Mind" fake up the cudgels. "FairPlay" apparently holds that the way outis that indicated as a possible one by me inmy last letter, namely, denominationalschools, Protestants following the lead ofthe Roman Catholics. Logically, this wouldmean the end, or considerable weakening,

of the national system. "Fair Play" maydesire this, but it is not at present con-templated by the league. The nationalsystem may be retained under a schemeallowing of religious instruction for thoseidesiring it, and permitting all conscien-tious objectors full exemption.

"Inert Mind" questions the unanimity;of the Protestant conscience, and hintsthat it is the league's conscience I havein mind. He also bases an argument oua contrast between the Agnostic coinpul-sovily paying taxes and the Protestantcompulsorily receiving in school an mi-icomplete education. Wouldit notbe fairerand more logical to consider the Agnosticand Protestant in relation to—(1) taxes,land (2) the type o£ education received?■Regarding taxes, Protestants have beenlong paying for a system of which theydisapprove. Roman Catholics have donelikewise. Has "Inert Mind" ever objected'to this? Why is it only when Agnostics,etc., are concerned that he wakes up?iWhether Agnostics would need to pay for'religious leseons under the proposed sys-tem is doubtful, in any case.' There isno definite indication of it in the Bill.suggested. But, suppose they did, then!hardship would be no greater than "Inert,Mind" has no, doubt condoned for manyyears in regard to Protestants and RomanCatholics.

Regarding the type of education rc-[ceived, no one is arguing for compulsoryreligious instruction for all the children.A conscience clause exempts objectors,and children so involved will be givensecular instruction as an alternative. Itappears that "Inert Mind" can see theforce of aconscientious objection to some-thing introduced, but not to somethingomitted. He upholds the conscience thatobjects to religion being introduced butnot the conscience that objects to religionbeing omitted. But religion being so tun-damental any religion worth the namemust leaven the whole of life, and anyconscience that can approve its absencefrom the school and the educational pro-

cesses of the majority of the children ofthe land is, in the view of the churches,unenlightened. Sorry, "Inert Mind," tohit you thus, but let me quote a leadingeducationist in support. Dr. J. J.Findlay,Professor of Education in ManchesterUniversity, says: •"The Bible can be read (in school) notas an ecclesiastical authority, but as afount of sacred literature, honoured alikeby alt the churches; hymns can be sung,not as the distinctive possession of onechurch, but as expressing the sentimentsof all. . . . Their value to the schoolsociety is great because they may helpthe childto bridge the gulf between moralsand religion, between Church and home,between secular and divine, between week-day and Sabbath day. The grown mancan, of his own motion, bridge this gull;he can understand, for example, that theobligations of ethics apply to the count-in"-house as much as the house of prayer.. . But the child cannot make thesedistinctions, and if the (statesman, pushingthis Unhappy quarrel with the ecclesiasticto the extreme, can accept no compromise

between freedom and superstition, thedanger is imminent of leaving th6child-mind empty both of aspiration and hope,and of the discipline of fear. True, thereare many men who find 'they have no usefor religion,' and a few who honestly avowthat they have been ■" prived of thisexperience; but it is not tot- them to usethe arm of the State in order to deprivethe coming race of' such experience. Whatmost men desire is not less religion, butmore-Hiot that religion shouldbe banishedfrom the school, but that it should xnvadotho warehouse, the factory, and the

°inmother words. Professor Findlay be-lieves conscientiously that a deprivation ofimportant elements in character buildinginevitably results from a system entirely

secular, and anyone with the welfare ofthe nation at heart who has the sameconviction will view the secular systemas one demanding a positive and conscien-tious stand against it Ingiving a lead, thechurches are united, and the league issimply the channel by which most of thechurches have expressed their convictions.Back of the league are the churches, backof the churches the people, 80 per cent,and more. ~ . ~This loads me to the consideration oi theexpression of the Church conscience onthis subject. , ...

On all public questions affecting religion,"Inert Mind," tho conscientious convictions of Protestants and Roman. Catholicsalike are indicated by their official churchpronouncements. These pronouncementsrepresent the views of the Church as awhole. When the general body of opinionripens into conviction it is thus expressed,and should there be any change it wouldsooner or later be,, reflected in such pro-nouncements. Whether directed from acontrolling mind at the head of the Church,or determined by the general consensusof conviction expressed by the mmd olthe membership as a whole, the result isdependable and representative.

Thus, without variation, has the con-science! of both Protestants and RomanCatholics been expressed again and again.The secular system is,without a championamong the churches. It is condemned forits fatal deficiency. After fifty years oftrial it is disapproved as a positive in-justice to any and every child.In a Striking way this has been sus-

tained in every test aken among parentson the question of Bible in schools. Withalmost monotonous regularity—and Iknowof hundreds of schools where the test hasbeen taken—the proportion favouring re-ligious lessons being given to the scholarsranges from 75 per cent, to 95 per cent.I personally organised a plebiscite, in Otagothree" years ago. Every school in theeducation district wns tested, and theresult was 86.3 per cent, in favour of Biblein schools.

What does this represent? 86.3 per cent,of these parents have a conscientious con-viction, very strong in many cases, weakerin ofliers, hut sufficient to indicate thatthey disapprove a system entirely secular,while 13.7 per cent, are satisfied withsuch a system, or, more' correctly weshould say, disapprove the system of Biblein schools. ■■

Now, surely it is fair that the conscien-tious convictions of the majority shouldbo considered-as well as of the minority.At present the minority is satisfied, andthe majority dissatisfied. The system.wedesire to introduce should satisfy all inthat it would provide general religious in-struction for those desiring it, and secularinstruction at the same time for thosewhose consciences arc tlms_ directed. Nocompulsion of conscience is in mmd.—lam, etc.,! - K. O. BLAMIRES.

In viewing It wo went through anemotional tempest—it was all so unusual, sosiniplo in its sincerity that wo were gripped andcarried along on a kind of realistic journeythrough the war trenches. .To those who didnot go to tho war it came as a revelation. Tothose who had been through tho war it wasa reflection of their own sufferings and ex-periences." Word ha% just been received that"Journey's End" has been' included in the firstten pictures of tho year. "New York Life"says: '^Vhat a wonderful play. You sit fornearly two hours entranced with its stirringdrama, Its delightful comedy. The curtainfalls, the audience still sits in its seats and'applauds > and applauds. 'Journey's End' isthat kind of a play."- It is significant thatKing George has seen it four times. It isthoroughly British in sentiment, written by anEnglishman, and played by. eminent Britishactors. George Bernard Shaw has expressedthe opinion that "Journey's End" will go downthe ages as one of tho greatest plays everwritten. He amplifies his statement by point-ing to tho fact that this remarkablo romanticwar epic has been played in twenty-four differ-ent languages—an ' international popularitywhich makes of it a classic. Edgar Wallacesays: " 'Journey's End' defies superlatives. Itsexquisite simplicity, its quiet honesty andsuperb dramatic realism is felt in every fibroof your being. It is undoubtedly tho greatesttalkie drama that has come to tho'screen. Onewishes 'that everybody could bo compelled tosee this wonderful and entertaining talkiomasterpiece. It has a full British cast, andI found myself enjoying the rounded tones ofperfect English as though it were somethingnew. It is indeed a triumph." One of thereasons for this great film's popularity is thefact that it depicts war without over-empha-sising its horrors. It is. human with the bestcharacteristics of the Britisher uppermost.Withal, it has the best ingredients of enter-tainment, romance, humour, dramatic situa-tions,' directness, humaneness, and reality. Theall-British cast of "Journey's End" is led .byColin Give, who headed the cast in tho origi-nal . London production, and the supportingplayers are all well known in London. Thefirst screening of "Journey's End" will takeplace at the Regent Theatre, Wellington, Fridaynext.

ST. .JAMES THEATRE.After playing to large attendances during

the week,- the celebrated actor, John Barry-more, will screen for the last time this even-ing at St. James Theatre in "General Crack."The leading lady, Armida, although quite newto Wellington audiences, until she made herinitial appearance hero in "General Orack,"Is responsible for a particularly artistic por-trayal of the part of,a gipsy girl. The otherfine performance is given by Mr. Lowell Slier-man, whose characterisation of tho pusillani-mous emperor is a splendid piece of acting.A pleasing first part precedes the big picture.

Sir dJenjamln and Mr. John Fuller announcethe first appearance at St. James Theatre to-morrow evening of the great favourite, GeorgeArliss, in tho lato William Archer's dramaticmasterpiece, "The Green Goddess." It is re-plete with delicious humour and tense drama.George Arliss's performance of the East In-dian potentate. Rajah of Rukh, lias been cri-ticised as being even better than--was hisremarkably convincing characterisation of"Disraeli." He, has for many years beenideiitifled with the part on tho stage proper,and of his performance, tho lato WilliamArcher, tho author of the play and at thattime England's recognised leading dramaticcritic, wroto: "To mo, George Arliss's per-formance is delightful. . What an actor theman is! I could not ask for a better exponentof the part." A particularly efficient cast ofEnglish actors includes H. B. Warner, BalphForbes, Evan Simpson, David Tearle,. Nigel deBrulier. Alice Joyce was chosen by'Arliss per-sonally for the part of the- heroine. Boxplans are open at the Bristol, and early appli-cation for scats is advised.,,

PARAMOUNT THEATRE."All Quiet on tho Western Front" is graphi-

cally pictured on the talking screen, and willcommence its second week at the ParamountTheatre to-morrow. It presents tho humanside of the war, the fierce, poignant drama ofyouth in the clutch of circumstance, withLouis Wolheim, Lewis' Ayres, John Wray, SlimSummerville, Russell Gleason, William Bako-well, Scott Kolk, Walter Browne Rugcrs, andhundreds of others in the cast. People haveseen the heroic side of war screened manytimes—its colour, its glamour, its luro. Nowthey see its human side—the auglo that makesthis picturisatlon an entertainment thrilling inits epic sweep of drama, yet most poignantlypowerful in its ability to lift one to the heightsof human feeling 1 Having drama, terribledrama, from beginning to end, "All Quiet onthe Western Front" deals with states of mindwhich are probably far more profound to theobserver than to the subject observed. It deals,in fact with the front-line thoughts and deedsof men at war, in a situation which is anomal-ous from every angle when viewed in the lightof normal civilised experience. These arc- nonew remarks, of course, fpr the subject is onewhich by this time only genius could discusswith novelty. Every one can bo presumed toknow the general outline of Remarque's plot,and no time need be taken in recounting it.Remarque's story is told by a cast of freshyoung actors who tackle their work sincerelyand are obviously giving the performance oftheir life. With them are associated two erthree older figures, one of whom, Katczlnsky,tho much-loved "Kat," gives a marvellous per-formance. The part is played by Louis Wol-heim in superb fashion. Nothing better couldbe -wished for. Lewis Ayres, as Paul Baumer,has a part of extreme difficulty, and managesIt magnificently. All the others give fine per-formances. Box plans are available at Bristoland Theatre, .where early reservation is essen-tial.

MAJESTIC, THEATRE.The flnal screening of "In the Next Room"

Robert O'Connor, the bumptious ex-ponent of the part of tho Irish detective,creates roars of laughter by his unsuccessfulattempts to unravel the mysterious happeningsthat arise in the course of this dramatic mel-ange. Jack Mulhall, Alico Day, and ClaudAllister attend most ably to tho thrilling mo-ments of the mystery drama. Tho motionpicture of the fourth' Test match will also bewithdrawn after to-night's screening.

To-morrow's special attraction at tho Maj-

estic Theatre will bo tho first appearance otFdward Everett ilorton irf Wellington in hislatest comedy success, "The Aviator." Hortonwas last seen here in "The Hottentot" andmade an excellent impression. He is an Eng-

lish comedian who went to America years agoand stayed there. The "New York World re-fers to him as "the prince of living comediansnow appearing on the American stage. in

"Tho Aviator" lie is said to bo seen to greateradvantage tlian in any previous talking picture,lie impersonates the character of an unwillingaviator who is forced to pilot careering aero-,planes that engage in performing-stunts ofthe most hair-raising and yell-creating descrip-tion. Quite,apart'from the clever dialogueof tho play tha stunts are described as "keep-ing the audience in a continual succession ofroars of laughter and gasps of anxiety fromthe first scene until the last." Other membersof tho cast are Patsy Buth Miller, JohnnyArthur, Lee Moran, Edward Martlndo], ArmandKafia, Kcwpio Morgan, Phillip Smalley, andWilliam Norton Daly. Selected, sound novel-ties will precede the screening of tho chiefattraction. Tho usual late shoppers' sessionwill commence at 5 o'clock .to-morrow afternoonand terminate at seven. Bo» Plans are atthe Bristol and also at tho theatre vestibule.

DE LUXE THEATRE."The Hate Ship" will be shown finally at

the De Luxe Theatre to-night. JamesonThomas is the yacht owner, and playing oppo-site to him is Miss Jean Colin. Thomas givesa wonderful portrayal ofa not toopleasant char-acter and dominates the story throughout. Thereis the essentialTomautic side of the story, lightside issues give the picture a happy balance,and there is just tho right proportion of comedyto place tho whole production on a high plane.The supports are a Paramount Sound News oflatest world happenings, a ridiculously funnycomedy, "The Suitor," a novelty turn Him, anda particularly interesting and delightful Na-ture film. "Tho Tiny Housekeeper," whichshows the family life of tho mole. Just whatamount of patience and enterprise goes to themaking of such a film is difficult to realise.

The promise made by Jack Oakle in hisfirst screen roles comes to fulfilment in RadioPictures' musical comedy of the Americanfleet, "Hit the Deck/ which has its first New.Zealand screening to-morrow at the De LuxeTheatre. With a part exactly suited to hishilarious talents,1 ho runs gaily away withthe show. Sharing with Jack Oakie is PollyWajker, a recruit from the Broadway stage,who adils charm and an enchantingvoice to thecharacter of Looloo. If nothing else, "Hitthe Deck" proves for once and for all thatthe screen is the ideal medium for musicalcomedy. Exterior sequences like the life-siz-ed village street; a real' landing wharf withliberty boats plying between shore and a hugefleet resting at anchor, all combine to lend areality to tho theme, heretofore impossible onthe stage. There is a technicolour scene with300 players on the deck of a battleship. TheA'incent Youmans stage hit as brought to thescreen moves in any easy narrative fashion-without the obvious pauses for songs, usuallythe bane of musical comedy production. Fivenew song numbers add to the sparkling whimsyof sailors' life. Marguerita Padula, a discov-ery in the singing field, leads a negro chorusof" 100 voices in the lavish interpretation of"Hallelujah." Roger Gray. Franker Woods, andHarry Sweet as the "sailors three." bid fairto equal the popularity of tho Kipling andDumas soldiers three. Deserving special men-tion are June Clyde, in song and dance num-bers, Wallace MacDonald, Ethel Clayton, NateSlott, Dell Henderson, Andy Clark, and CharlesSullivan. Box Plans are available at theBristol and Aitken's.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE."Love Lies," which has been attracting large

Othermembers of the company, including Bobby Gor-don. Betty Kiev. Marie Eaton, Compton Coutts,Mnnn Barlee, Katherine Stewart, Paul Plunket,rind Dan Agar will nil be seen at their best.Amongst the outstanding musical numbers aretho following: "Hop On Tour Toes," "JustSuppose."

Smooth direction andpowerful portrayal in fast-moving sequence ofwell-staged thieving operations; convincing nar-ration of male crook's further degeneration ob-viated by female partner's intervention. Ex-cellent popular entertainment." Bebe Daniels,the popular "Rio Rita" favourite, has the prin-cipal role. Ben Lyon plays opposite with agood cast in support.

Slio had been in picturesbut two months when R.K.O. officials chose herfor one of the most coveted roles of the season.Her pert personality, lovely voice, and the factthat she has tho prize pair of limbs in fllm-dom are responsible for her selection.

CUSTOMS TARIFF

PROPOSALS BEFORE HOUSE

AN ALL-NIGHT SITTING. The amended tariff proposals of the Government were furtherconsidered in Committee in the House of Representatives last night,and when the House adjourned at 7 o'clock this morning until 2.30o'clock this afternoon no conclusion had been,reached. The dis-cussion on the short title of the Customs Amendment Bill didnot conclude until midnight, and.the House then proceeded to dis-cuss the various items in the schedule. The petrol tax increaseproved the greatest stumbling block, and an amendment that the■amount should be reduced from 7d to 5d was still under discussionat the adjournment.: The discussion on the short title developed into a generalcriticism of the proposals of the Bill. The Prime Minister madeit' plain that if the petrol tax were defeated there would be nomoney for the Main Highways Board this-year, and he sought to•place the responsibility on the shoulders of the members of thei HouseC This action gave rise to some spirited criticism on the

part of the Opposition, and in this certain members of the LabourParty joined.

An effort was made to reduce the lax on cement from Is to■6d, but on an Undertaking being given by the Prime Minister thatan inquiry into the necessity for a duty on cement would be made

the recess the amendment was withdrawn.The Labour Party moved to provide for the-free admission

of unassembled parts of motor-cars, but this was defeated by 40votes to 23, the Prime Minister stating that the amendment wouldmean a reduction in revenue of £400,000.

■; Continuing the discussion after "Tho£pst" went to press yesterday, theMinister of Internal Affairs (the Hon.P. A. de la Perrelle) deprecated acomplaint that the Government was not'seeking .to .-assist the farmers, and■pointed!to specific items, in denial ofthat suggestion. 'Mr. D. Jones (Reform, Mid-Canter-bury) contended that the Governmentand the Treasury were painting thepicture in unnecessarily gloomy col-■ ours, and that 'tho country's creditmust be affected adversely. The farm-er had had £516,000 of extra/burdenput on his back this year through thepetrol tax.

The Prime Minister said it seemed-that tho Government was responsiblefor everything that was wrong in thecountry, and that nothing that it didwas right. Complaint was made aboutthe~ withdrawal of the subsidy to localbodies, but he drew attention to theassistance afforded in the matter of re-lief works subsidies. He said he hadhad little complaint from tho farmers,but ho had had many deputationsfrom' other sections of the community.:Tho position of Prime,Minister shouldbe occupied by members who said thateverything came out'of the pockets ofthe- farniers! * Replying to statementsthat the'Government was too pessimis-tic, he pointed out the Government'sproposals were estimated to produce inSeveral cases less than was producedlast year. Ho 'thought the figureswereoptimistic and he considered therewas nothing to show that the Govern-ment was Budgeting for a substantial'

-.surplus!THE EXPLOITATION CLAUSE.

• The Hon. W, Downie- Stewart (Re-form, Dunedin West) said it /was not.'sufficient for the Minister to reduceduties only when there was a rise of■ j'irice in the local manufactures. Theremight be a fall in the cost .of.raw ma-terials, as there was at the present time;or labour costs, and then it was upto the manufacturer to reduce theprice of- his article. Price-fixing tri-bunals had never worked effectively,and it had been illustrated that prices,were higher in those countriesjn whichprices were fixed than in thoso coun-tries, which had no restriction. Atariff should be designed^ to, give theoutside competitor a fighting chance.1

' , Mr. Forbes said he thought theclause gave all the necessary power to'the Minister to deal with any increasesin price that might be made. If anincrease took place, in wages it wouldbe unfair to enforce the requirement.-that the price of the article should notbe increased.. He did not'think Mr.Stewart would take a different viewfrom that. As to the general tariff,lie pointed out that the Act passed bythe Reform Government in 1921 gavethe Minister power to suspend thetariff in part or in whole, to put onfresh duties, or' take 'practically any. action he saw fit. The Minister would,•of;course, take a reasonable view.

Referring to tlie tariff changesgenerally, the Prime Minister said

;, that the main object was revenue-raising, and to give additional pre-ference to British goods. They esti-mated that the proposals -would yieldabout £800,000 from the Customs

/'and a similar amount from directjaxation. .. ~ .

'■'"''" . DUTY ON BEER.Mr. .T. M'Combs (Labour, Lyttel-

ton) said that in New1Zealand the ex-cise duty on beer was Is per gallon;in Australia it was Is lOd, and in Eng-land 2s, and he urged that the Govern-ment sliould take BOnie of the hugeprofits" that were being made by thebrewer. In spite of the greater duty,beer was no dearer to tho worker inAustralia than it was in New Zealand.He did not say that the duty shouldbo raised-to the same level as that inEngland, but if it was it would yieldabout £650,000 in taxation. Ho, want-.cd tho Prime Minister to tell the Housewhy tho brewers were being let off solightly. It' they were fairly taxed,several of tho irritating itoms in theschedule could be cut out.

STOCK FOODS

-AMENDMENT LOST

The Committee went--on to deal first•with, the' First Schedule oS the Bill,r^S^Hiig certain duties.

The Leader of the Opposition mov-ed in such a way as to permit anixnjilfoods, including cattlecake, to comein free of "fluty. !jfi.i: 11. G. E. Mason (Labour, Auck-

land Suburbs): "Are there any localproducts protected at present?"

Mi1. Coates said lie believed therowere. Cattle foods were badly wantedin the Dominion. , „ ;

The Primo Minister said that therewag a large factory hi Auckland mak-ing animal foods. They had had sub-,xtantial protection. /

Mr. "W. J. Jordan (Labour:, Manulcau)said that before duties were removedfrom" stock foods the opinions of thosefirms which "were manufacturing stocki'oods in the Dominion should be sought.

Mr. C. A. Wilkinson (Independent,Egniont) said the amendment appearedto be a cheap gesturo on tlio paTt ofthe Leader of the Opposition, who, ap-parently, was anxious to show the far-mers, that ho was anxidu3 thoy shouldhave duty-free stock foods.

' Tho Minister of Health (the lion. A.,T. StaJlwortliy) said the House would beS&kiiig iv very serious step if it adopted

tho amendment, as a very severe blow-would be struck at a local industry. '-Mr. M. J. Savage (Labour, Auck-land West) drew the attention of theHouse to the fact that Mr. Coates hadhimself put the duty on, and one won-dered why he was now so anxious toremove it.

Mr. P. Waite (Reform, Clutha) saidMr. Oriates was making a genuine ef-fort to overeoine .a real difficulty,'andall sorts of trivialities were being rais-ed by his opponents.

Mr. W. ,J. ' Poison (Independent,Stratford) hoped the attempt by Mr.Coates was a genuine ono. If it was,then Mr. Coates would include fowlwheat and wheat for the use of stock.It would not be an honest thing to re-move the protection on a local industryovernight. ■ ,

Mr. F. Lye (United, Waikato) saidhe was 'anxious to see stock foodsbrought in free of duty, but' he lookedwith suspicion on the amendment movedby tho Leader of the1 Opposition.

Mr. A. M. Samuel (Reform, Thames)said he could not understand the para-doxical reasoning of some'of the mem-bers who were supposed to representfarming communities. They were ap-parently opposing tho amendment be-cause they did not like the "party onthe Opposition benches.

The amendment was defeated by 45votes to 24. ;

Mr. Poison then moved with the ob-ject of removing the duty from wheatfor animal food, but on finding that hecould not draft an amendment whichwould not remove the wholo of thewheat duties, which, he said, he didnotwish to do, he withdrew his motion,amidst laughter. ■.-.'/

TARIFF ON CEMENT

INQUIRY IN RECESS

When the Second Schedule ' wasreached, giving effect to the increasedduties, Mr. D. Jones (Reform, Mid-Can-terbury) moved that tho duty oncement should be reduced from Is to

Mr. Savage expressed tho hop© thatthe House Avould-not carry the amend-ment as the proposal was a most dan-gerous one. Ho wanted to know whythe Reform Party now wanted to re-movQ a duty it had imposed itself.

Mr. A. Hamilton (Reform, Wallace)said the duty had been on for manyyears, and it was not fair to say theReform Party had been.responsible forit. He said the item had been chal-lenged in 1927. Any member had

ja

right to challenge any item.Mr. P. Fraser. (Labour, Wellington

Central) said if the . amendment werecarried there would bo tho greatestconsternation in the country.

The Minister of Agriculture (theHon. A. J. Murdoch), hoped the Housewould seriously consider the proposal;If Mr. Jones knew the importance ofthe cement industry in New Zealandha would think twice before moving hisamendment. •Mr. W. L. Martin (Labour, Eaglan)said the cement company in NorthAuckland Was quite capable of lboking,after itself,, and- was in no need ofprotection.- He hoped the duty wouldbe removed.1/ Mr. Samuel also expressed , resent-ment at Mr. Savage's suggestion;;that,the Reform Party had put the dutyon. ■The Leader of the Labour Party saidhe held,the Government should havelong since taken the industry over. Heprotested against affecting the indus-try' without notice being given, .'. Captain Bushworth (Country Party,Bay of Islands), rising Jin support ofMr. Martin's remarks, said ho wassurprisedMr.Holland should have sup-ported, the plutocratic shareholders ofthe Cement Company.

Mr. Holland: "I was defending theworkers." . \• Captain■ Eushworth snidheknew Mr.Holland in his mind had spoken of theworkers, but knowing what appeared'lin tho balance-sheet of the North- Auck-land Cement Company he knew v-erywell that tho duty could be takeji offwith out.affecting tho workers one iota.

"A CEMENT RING."Mr. E. A. Wright (Reform, Welling-

ton Suburbs) said that "there was^ acement ring operating in New Zealand,and they had the right to provont ex-ploitation. Was a company that paid£■45,000 per year income-tax likely: tpsuffer from a reduction in protection!:!Tho company sliould bo taught a lessoii.• Mr. G. 0. Black (United, Motueka)'said that.tho'Golden Bay Company hadonly paid one dividend in seven years,and had stated that if tho duty, was'decreased it would have to put off itsmon. ■"'■'•■. ■Mr. -"Wilkinson said lie liart it con-fess to being one of tho plutocrats re-ferred to by tho member for Bay itffIslands. There w-ere 1300 men einploy-'ed ,by tlio Portland Bay Cemont Com-pany, which also owned a coal mineand supplied clcetvio light t6 tlio townof Whangarei. Ho had boon told thatif tho duties were put ou two of .-thecompanies in New •Zealand would goout. The company liiid. repeatedly cntits prices. The mover of tho motionhad shown his inconsistency by votingfora duty of £7 per ton on flour. ...

Mr. F. Langstonn (Labour, Waima-rino) considered that the' duty couldeasily como off, but ho thought thattho .companies should bo given fairnotice in order that thoy might have anopportunity to plaeo thoir caso beforeParliament.

Mr. Jones denied inconsistency, butstated that he wag prepared to give

protective assistance to any industry.If there was the slightest danger 'oftl"* jobs of the men being jeopardisedho wouldnot havo proposed tho motion.Ho. wanted to give cheapor cement toNew Zealand, and the industry couldstand the reduction. Eeform members•now realised that a mistake had beenmade by increasing the duties.

Mr. P. Fraser (Labour, WellingtonCentral) said that he was not attack-ing or defending the company whenhe stated that the cement industry hatlthe right to survive. It would be bet-ter for New Zealand to use cement in-stead of bitumen for road constructionbecause such a policy would give em-ployment for more men.

The Minister of Health (tho Hon. A.J. Stallworthy) pointed out that theHouse, if it i>assed tho amendment,would really be breaking its agreementwith tho cement companies. Ii wasonly fair, that the companies should benotified of tho intention of tho House.

Mr. Samuel stated that the Govern-ment did not notify importers of pend-ing increases in the tariff, and he didnot see why the cement companiesshould be singled out. However, hesuggested that the member for Mid-Canterbury should withdraw his motionand- ask the; Government : go_ thor-oughly into tho position. The Ministerhad ■ the power to reduce tho duty ifho considered that the . company wasgaining,an undue benefit.

The Leader of the Labour Partymoved as an amendment to'tho amend-ment that all the words after '' thatbo deleted, with a view to tho :nser-

! tion'.of the'-following: "It be a recom-mendation to the' Government that thewhole position in relation to tho pro-duction of cement be investigated dur-ing the recess for the purpose of cer-'taining whether or not a duty is neces-;safy for the preservation of the in-dustry."

The Prime Minister undertook tohave an inquiry made in the recessinto the necessity for a duty oncement. i "The amendments , were thereupon

withdrawn.

DUTY ON ONIONS

Mr. E. A-. Wright drew attention, totho tremendous increase from £1 10sto £4 per tpn in tho duty on onionsin the general tariff, and said theycame in at a time when New Zealandonions were out of season. He did notthink.it wonld interfere with tho NewZealand article1 if the proposal waseliminated.

Mr. Forbes said that the increaseonly; affected onions from Japan andU.S.A.

Mr. Wright moved that the duty bereduced from &4. to &1 10s per ton.

Mr.- H. T. Armstrong (Labour,Christchurch East) considered that theonion producers were entitled to afair reward for labour. Japan andAmerica regarded New Zealand as a.lun^ping ground for their surpluses.

The amendment was disallowed, andMr. Wright moved a further amend-ment reducing the duty by £1 ss.

This was lost on tho voices.

IMPORTED FRUITS

REDUCTION ON WATCHES

■ In reply to Mr. G. C. Black (United,Motueka), the Prime Minister said thathe knew some of tho fruitgrowers werein favour of p. higher duty, on importedfruits. The previous duty had been Idper Ib, and the new duty was 2d. Theydesired to give the new duty a trial,[and he also pointed out that they didnot wish to interfere wtih the reciprocalagreement with Australia.

TO MEET OBJECTIONS

Mr. W. E. Barnard (Labour, jVapior)moved:—

That tho proposed duty on foreignwatches be reduced from 35 per cent.,to 30 per cent.He said thepiiblic had aright to neces-

sary, articles such as watches wore atthe lowest possible price, and the tradeat the present time was making only areasonable profit.

The Prime Minister said thnt ho hadno objection to making the alterationto 30 per cent. He realised that therehad been a good deal of objection tothis duty.- The amendment was carried.

ANOTHER CONCESSIONELECTRIC LIGHT LAMPS

Mr. H. G-. E. Mason (Labour, Auck-land Suburbs) said that incandescentlamps were not manufactured in NewZealand, and, as they were used byeveryone,, they should be the last tobear increased duty.

Mr. C. A. Wilkinson (Independent,Egmont) considered that the tax of 6dfor English electric light globes wastoo high, and he moved:— . ,

•■ That the duty on English globes boreduced from 6d to 3d for'lamps ex-ceeding 80 watts and not exceeding180 watts, and from 6d to 3d'forevery ISO watts in the case of lampsover 180. , \ ' \-Mr. J. A.Na'sh (Reform, Palineraton

North) said that, as the Governmenthad established great power schemes,it should not burden the.people it wassupplying with electricity.

Mr. Forbes: "There is lio increaseon British bulbs." ■Mr. W. L. Martin: "The duty is toohigh now." He,,said, that he wouldlike to see the duty taken off alto-gether.. The Prime Minister said that. theamendment would mean a loss.of £6000per annum.

Mr. J. A. Nairn: "It would be wellspent." . %

Mr. Forbes said that, considering thedrain there would-be on.tho financialresources of the country in order torepair the power schemes, he did notthink that the duty was unreasonable.

Mr. Martin: "A poor argument."Mr. Nash: "Take it out of the pet-

rol tax."Mr. E. J". Howard (Labour, Christ-

ehurdh South) said that it was abouttime the Government entered into acontract to supply lamps to the people.

Mr, D. G. Sullivan (Labour,.Avon)suggested the amendment might ap-ply to the bulbs exceeding 80 wattsand not exceeding 180watts only, andtho Prime Minister/ agreed to this.

MOTOR-BODY DUTIESATTEMPTED ALTERATION

Mr. Savage moved:—That tho duties of 10 per cent Bri-

tish, preferential and 40 per cent,general tariff on motor vehicles boamended to provide that unassembledparts should bo admitted free andassembled parts at 7-J per cent, in theformer case and unassembled parts at25 per cent, and assembled parts at 40per cent, in the case of the general

; , tariff. .:" Mr. Savage said' his amendmentwould give greater preference to Eng-land and greater employment.

Mr. Coates pointed out that if theduties were enforced somo of tho com-panies .tit least would go out of busi-ness. This was a serious thing, firstlybecause of the men employed and see-

SUBURBAN BUSESINADEQUATE SERVICETHE CITY'S MONOPOLY

SHOULD IT BE ENDED ?A strong attack on what was de-

scribed in ©Sect as a determined effortw tho "Wellington City Council t dis-courage suburban citizens in the use 6ibuses by unsuitable time-tables andscanty services was made b* th& coun-cil of tho Wellington Civic League lastnight at a special meeting called to dis-cuss transport services. The president(Mr. D. G. Clark) presided.

A letter was read by the aeting-sec-rotary (Mr. E. 0. Thornton) 'from thoTown ■Clerk, confirming the reply givenby the Mayor to the Vogeltown andMornington Municipal Electors' Asso-ciation that there was no

_available

money to permit the extension of thetrams to Mornington. The letter alsosupplied the information that any pollo: the matter would be of all the rate-payers of the city. The estimated costof constructing a single line tramwaywith loops starting from Ohiro roadand running via M'Kinley terrace,Mornington road, and the Bidgway tothe Mornington- Subdivision wou] bo£23,950. The route via Washingtonavenue was not a practicable one. Thorateable value could be obtained firomthe Government Valuation Department.The sum mentioned had been vote'l bythe council for certain other works.

."Concerning tho request made bytho deputation for an improvemeu. intho bus service, you no doubt areaware," concluded tho letter, "thatthe council has since decided .on a cur-tailment of these services iv. view ofthe losses which are being incurred,and it has been decided to reduce theBrooklyn-Mornington service from a 20to a 30 ininutes' service from Ist Sep-tembernext, between 1.45p.m. and 3.40p.m."

IS IT TRUE?The prediction of the Civic League

that Mr. Cable had set out 'to squashthe bus services, said Mr. Thornton,was coming true, and he had practically

'succeeded. A monopoly of bus serviceshad been secured, but those who hadexpected good to come out of it weregrievously disappointed. It was plainto everyone that private owners woulddo better than was being done now;their services would bo useful, ' andvould probably prove profitable.

A member: "I suppose it is uo us«coing to the City Council about it?" I

The Chairman: "It has been no useso far. ' It seems to be a q-cation forthe ratepayers to consider at the nextelection of the City Council.

Another member said that while agreat deal was heard of the Mayor andMr. Cable, there might bo somethingto be said against the attitude o£ the,City Council as a whole in th© nameb whom the Mayor answered, thoughit was evident that the Mayor allowedMr. Cable to dictate. If the City Coun-cil did not provide ratepayers with agood transport service, theit tlia'coun-cil should bo recast. . -

Mr. Thornton: "I think tho Tram-way Committee exists in name only. , Itconsists of Mr. Cable, with the Mayoras mouthpiede.""If Vogeltown residents are< serious

in their expressed determination tohavo'a- private service in tho absenceof a suitable one from the City Coun-cil," said Mr. F. W. Downs, "theyshould call the council's bluff,

_and ap-

peal against tho presont service. Allthey have to do is to tell the councilthat it is not satisfactory, and go otho Appeal Board, which exists, andask for the right' to put on their ownblises. Then other districts "with poorservices will do tho same."

This, said Mr. T. M. Donovan, hadi.ocn dono in.-effect by the residents ofKelbura. Mornington had tho right ka bus, and tho council should be forcedto givo it. A deputation should waiton Mr. Cable for a straight-out answerto a request for a licence *o a privateowner.

Mr. Moore, referring to the "buslosses, saia that the City Council's soleright to licence should be cancelled.Ratepayers could not see where themoney was being lost. The council hadbeen written to for tho details. -Ob-servant men had taken note of the runsand passengers, and could not see wherethe losses occurred. : Ratepayers shouldtake over the services and run themproperly. ''Referring to the cost of benzine,Mr. W. L. Palmer, Seatoun Suburbs,said that they paid the highest fareof any, 9d. For an extra mile and ahalf they paid three times the ordinaryfare-, and there were no buses on after-noons or Sundays. The buses werewell filled, but they did not payl. "Itis no use going 'to the City Council,"concluded Mr. Palmer. "Mr. Cable isin. charge, and he does not want thobuses at al}. Tho councillors do notcare about transport, and just acceptwhat they aro told. We pay 3,d for amile and a half, and Seatoun peoplepay 3d for the ride to town. Wohave been treated with the utmost con-tempt."

Tho Chairman: "Do you want theCity Council service, or do you wantyour own bu?es?"

Mr. Palmer: "Wo aro not anxiousto run our own buses, but we wantsomething. The time-table is madespecialty to discourage the use ofbuses." 'Mr. O. Dillon (Hataitai) thouglit itwas time that the City Council'be de-prived of tho solo right of licensing.Buses had displaced trams in manyplaces, and ■would ultimately do sohere.

It was decided to appoint delegatesto act with the Vogeltown body to seewhat could be done to force the posi-tion. \

USELESS AGITATION

A PRESBYTERY DESISTS

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

CHRISTCHURCH, This Day,The Christchurch.Presbytery to-day

decided to ceaso its agitation againstthe running of Sunday excursion trains,recognising that the "enemy" were intoo great number for the protests to beeffective, and that the Presbytery couldnot govern tho. Government.

ondly because of the ainountfrof capitalinvolved.

The Prime Minister said the carryingof the amendment would involve a lossof "revenue of £409,000.

Mr. Savago contradicted the PrimeMinister's estimate, and said the Gov-ernment would loso very little in theway of revenue.

Tho Prime Minister said he was con-vinced liia estimate was a low one Toalter tho present arrangement wouldmean to disorganise the wholo motorindustry.

-Mr. Eraser urged the Prime Ministerto accept the amendment.

Mr. Forbes said they could pay toomuch for their whistle. The carryingof the amendment would result in toogreat a loss to the country.

On a division tlie amendment was lostby 40 votes to 23.

Tho discussion which took place ontho petrol tax increase is reported else-where.

At 7 a.m. tho Committee adjourneduntil 2.30 o'clock this afternoon.

I will have of■writing on New Zealand racing for "ThePost," I would take this opportunity ofacknowledging the many verbal and writ-ten expressions of good fortune that" havereached me in the last few weeks. Racingin New Zealand is in the main a whole-some and refreshing recreation, andthrough itare made friendships that standthe test of time. It is essentially a gameof difference of opinions, and althoughthere have been at times some sharp dif-ferences, they have been dealt with anddone with for all time. It is with greatregret that I now hand over a positionwhich it has been a pleasure to fill.

BY A NARROW MARGIN

NATIVE PRINCE'S WIN ATADDINGTON

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

CHRISTCHURCH, 13th August,The Aucklandpacer, Native Prince, who

las been at Addington for some time, rac-ing at various southern meetings, account-ed for the King George Handicap to-day,at the second day of the MetropolitanTrotting'Club'sMeeting, by a narrowmar-gin. He made a good beginning and was•well placed all through the race. Afterlooking to have Imprint well beaten inthe straight, he had to be hard driven atthe finish tobeat the' Nelson horse. NativePrince, who was bred by the late Mr. B.Shadbolt, is by Native King from MissAudrey, a speedy sprinter in her day.Native Prince was a good winner lastseason, and looks as though he may beequally successful this season. He is agood sprinter, as well as a fine stayer.

Imprint' is racing in her best form atpresent. After finishing second to Plutoon the first day, he had to put up witha similar position behind Native Prince.The state of the track is evidently to theliking of the Nelson pacer, who showedgreat brilliancy in his latest race.

Dundas Boy put up a fine performance.He was not hurried over the first mile,but he finished up in his best style andevidently is well on the way to the topof his form again. He will be very hardto beat the next time he starts.

RIGHT BACK TO FORM

JOHN MAURITIUS TAKES AVONHANDICAP

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

CHRISTCHURCH, 13th. August,John Mauritius, driven in masterly style

by Tomkinson, followed up his successof the first day by accounting for theAvon Handicap at Addington to-day. Hehad evidently benefited by his first day'sracing, .as he went much more steadily.The Australian-bred trotter has comeright back to his best form.

Admiral Bingen showed his beat speed,but just failed in the concluding stages.The Nelson Bingen trotter has a wonder-;fnl turn of speed, but although he is im-proving in stamina, he is not jet a solidtwo-miler. : ' " '■ Maxegin, a good second favourite, wentaway very fast, but a bad break cost hima lot of ground. He hit his gait again,and quickly made up his leeway, but theeffort left him without any reserve and hefaded out at the end.

WEIGHT AND CLASS

HOW QUALITY TELLS

' Toxeuma simply played with the op-position at the finish of the Winter Cupfor all his 11.5, the highest weight yetcarriedto victory in the race. As Toxeumais on the fringe of weight-for-age class,it is not surprising that he scored, forfew horses of his quality are seen out inthe winter. It ifi said with some, reasonthat weight in reason does not trouble agood one, and this strangely enough ap-plies particularly under the winter scale■when the poorer class horses have to carry9st. To a less degree, the foregoing ap-plies to Nancy Lee, who was as decidedlysecond to Toxeuma. As an Auckland Rail-way Handicap winner, she was proved asa top-notch sprinter, always a dangeroustype over the mile of the Winter Cup.•Havering's recent deeds are too wellknown to require recapitulation. He ismore of a winter horse, and has done hisbest under big weights on soft tracks.The disappointment of the racewas Stag-hunter, and it seems that he is not toosolid.

GOOD PROGRESS

'SOME SENSIBLE 'SUGGESTIONS

If the resolutions carried by the Con-ference of delegates of the racing clubsin the Wanganui district, held last week,are adhered to, some very sensible econo-mies will be effected. There is little needto comment on the resolutions, which werebb follows:—

That all clubs in the district agree toabolish complimentary tickets except thosefor ownerß and tickets to be given outby the president of each club at his dis-cretion to distinguished visitors.

That each club in the district, be askedto restrict as far as possible the issue ofcomplimentary luncheon tickets, and,where possible, substitute counter lunchesfor the present system.

That the uniform closing time for nomi-nations in the Wanganui District Com-mittee's area hi9 p.m.

jPhatan effort be made by clubs to cutffown the intervals between races.

HER TRIUMPH

AURORA BOREALIS

'•I have never seen a jumper like herfor her size," said one good judge yes-terday, when discussing Aurora Borealisftid her victory in the Grand Nationaliteeplechase. Only a season or so agotJM wa?trying to win Kiddle-distance hacketwnts with a mixed degree of success. Ask six-year-old, she is one of the youngestwinners of the race. She has attractedfurther attention to her sire, Day Comet,as a progenitor of junipers. Wiltshirebrought him fame by winning the GrandNational Steeplechase in 1928 and 1929,so that Aurora Borealis made the thii-dwinner of the race in succession. Twomonths agoAurora Borealis won the GreatNorthern and Winter Steeplechases at.Bllerslie, while last month she was beatenby a head in the Wellington Steeplechaseby Mangani (also by Day Comet), who\von the Grand NationalHurdles last year,and who is a fancied candidate for theflame race this year. Day, Comet is now

at Sir Charles Clifford's Stonyhurst Stud,and the first batch of his' yearlings bredthere will make their appearance at Kie-carton in the autumn.

Aurora Borealis started racing as athree-year-old,' in the spring of 1927. Inher sixth appearance she won the TrialPlate at Pahiatua. That was her only suc-cess in her first season, though she wasplaced on seven other occasions. At fouryears she had a long list of moderate per-formances on the flat, and in the win-ter, at Napier Park, she was implaced ina hack steeplechase and a hack hur-dle race. A week later, at Has-tings, she won the Woodlands HackSteeplechase, paying a big dividend. Inthe following month she was third in asimilar event at Trentham. A. year agoshe visited Riecarton, where she was un-placed in the Trial Hurdles, and secondto Apache in the Spreydon Hurdles, wind-ing up by winning the Styx Hurdles. Re-turning to the North Island, she wonfour

hurdle races. She failed in the JSgmontSteeplechase in May, but won the AdamsonSteeplechase next day. Then she won theCentury Hurdles at Wanganui, but failedin. the May Hurdles. She was third toKing's Jest and Roman Abbey in theGreat Northern Hurdles and won theGreat Northern Steeplechase and WinterSteeplechase later in the meeting. AtTrentham last month she ran Manganito a head in the Wellington Steeplechase,and was unplaced on the last day in theWinter Hurdles. Up till a year ago shewas only a useful hack, and the improve-ment she has made this winter, as a hurd-ler and a steeplechaser,- has been remark-able.

HOW IT IS DONE

BETTING TELEPHONES

Apparently there has been a stir recent-ly in Australia too in regard to telephoneconnections for illicit betting purposes.The "Sydney Sun" has the following:—

The legion that never was listed oper-ates in the city every day a pony meetingis Held; and starting price shops makejtremendous profit from their illicit activi-ties. At intervals the police raid sometoo obtrusive S.P. saloons and much ismade of this by the Department in orderto convey to the public that it is everon the heels of illegal betting. But thefact is that the S.P. shops are flourishingin the city, of Sydney as they never-flour-ished before, arid that every gambler—ex-cept the members of the Police Force—knows where to turn to stake his moneyon any race at any meeting.'

It is only fair to admit that thePolice Department is somewhat handi-capped in its investigations by the extra-ordinary attitude of the Federal TelephoneDepartment, and by the encouragementwhich is extended to, certain big book-makers by the most prominent racing menof the city. . 'None of these shops can function with-out several telephone lines. All of themenn obtain these services in the twinklingofan eye, though the ordinary person mayhave to wait weeks to become a sub-scriber. The Telephone Department de-clares that its conscience.would be seared:if it were to disclose to the police whatit learnt by listening in to the conversa-tions conducted with these shops by themultitude of patrons.'' The general wel-fare, of the community has to suffer forthis whimsical policy.

The Deputy Director of Posts and Tele-graphs said in reply to'the foregoing thatit was true that the Department did notlisten in to the .conversations, of itsclients, , and it was also true . that itwould not be prepared torelate the natureof conversations to anyone. He deniedthat the Department gave;preference toany class of subscriber, and said thatordinary subscribers did not have to waitfor weeks for a telephone service.

DEARTH OF JUMPERS

MORE ENCOURAGEMENTNEEDED

In the course of his presidential addresßat the annual meeting of members' of theAuckland Racing Club Sir Edwin Mitchel-son, in commenting on last, season's rac-ing, said that one regrettable feature towhich he felt he must refer was the ap-parent deterioration in the number aswell as class of jumping.horses through-out the Dominion. This was particularlynoticeable during the winter, the horsesHot being up to the ■usual standard, andit should be the care of all racing clubsto see that more encouragement wasgiven to this class, otherwise hurdle rac-ing and steeplechasing would become lessand less popular and probably cause a cer-tain loss of interest.in the sport. TheAuckland District Committee had thoughtit desirable to take up this matter, andhad circularised all clubs in the districtwith a \'iew to their putting on a Jump-ing race each day of their meetings toencourage owners to train their horsesfor this class, and also give increasedopportunity to hurdle horsemen to be-come more proficient in their calling andbe in a position to augment their earn-ings.

HERE AND THERE

One to Follow.Basouli, the winner of the Cashmere

Plate.at Riccarton, registered a very im-pressive performance. He was always in ahandyposition, and he came awayfrom thefield without any effort in the last twofurlongs. Prior to this race he had neverearned any money, but he had done verylittle racing. He is an Australian-bredfour-year-old, whose breeding suggeststhat he will stay, and after Tuesday'sperformance there seems little doubt thathe will win good races.A Forward Hack.

Few of the hacks engaged at the I'uku-ranga Hunt Meeting are likely to be moreforward than Sir Kay, who has been keptup to his work since running a goodsecond to Marble King at Te Awamutuou 28th June. After a long spell SirKay was beginning to strike his trueform only at the end of last season, whenhe notched three seconds in five starts,and he may be aii early winner this term.Sydney Betting.

Recent betting lists from Sydney showa few minor alterations. Pentheus is stillfavourite for the Epsom Handicap, withHigh Disdain and Mollison on the nextline and Holdfast and Tom Pinch thirdfavourites. The fourth group comprisesAmounis, Eaglet, Gesture, and Toper.Glare and Paquito are the Metropolitanfavourites, with Carradale, Waterlinc, andIn the Shade the second picks, and Chide,Concentrate, and Gwillian G. nest. GayCrest is in the fourth group.

Mixed Fortune.L. Knapp, who had two of his team in

Otairi and Areheria entered at Riccar-ton, decided- to forego the trip. : Otairiran> sufficiently well at Awapuni to indi-cate that he was rapidly coming back toform, but it was decided against takinghim bo far afield. . Knapp managed towin a race with Ppwhiri at Awapuni, but'

the Sir Antrim gelding was in a badway later. Poppy Day, a,- maiden hurdleralso included in his striug, broke down!on the first day of the Manawatu fixture,and she and Povrhiri were taken hometo their respective owners. Red Bank,who had to be turned out as the resultof bleeding troubles, is stated to be. doingparticularly well, although he will lead alife of idleness for some time to come.PadUon's Prospects.

The Waikato-owned Paddon put up twogood performances at Awapuni, and iftaken to Ellerslie for' thb • PukurangaMeeting he is sure to have a. la?ge fol-lowing.. The Archiestown gelding , hasraced consistently in his last four starts,and should be at the top' of his form bythe time the Pakuranga Meeting takesplace.Has Been Unlucky.

Since capturing a double at the Avon-dale Meeting in the autumn, Standfasthas put up several good, efforts,: althoughhe has not won a race in the interim.His second to Eager Rose in the Wood-stock Stakes at. Waipa was a good per-formance, for he was badly placed duringthe middle stages' of the race and finishedon very gamely under pressure. Standfastis engaged in the Jellicoe Handicap atEllersiie, and if produced in' his best con-dition can be depended on 'to put up agood showing in that event.

AT ADDINGTON

THE MINOR EVENTS

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

CHRISTCHI?KCH, 13th August.The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting

Club's Sleeting was continued to-day inbright sunshine and with a good track,though it was not really fast. There wasa fail' attendance, but the . totalisatorfigures again slumped, the investmentsbeing £37,158 10s, compared with £49,72010s on the corresponding day last year.Cannonball Trots in Great Style.

Cannonball, ■■who was one of the out-siders in the Improvers' Handicap, madeup his ground very fast and with nearlya round to go looked to possess a finechance. Trotting in great style, he soonhad the race at his mercy. Cannonballhas been out of commission for sometime. He was trained at Addingtouearly in his career, but, going sore, hewasthrown out of work and went to theWest Coast for a spell. He was trainedfor this race at Reefton, Where the trackis very suitable for infirm horses. Cannon-ball first raced as a pacer.

If Home Voyage had kept steady inthe Improvers' Handicap, he might havewon. He showed a lot of speed, butdid not keep to his gait. The Australian-bred trotter has a fine turn of speed andis a good stayer, but he does not yet trotsteadily with the, colours up. He looksas though he might do better over twomiles.Erin's Fortune's Easy Task.

Erin's Fortune had one of the easiestof wins in the Dash Handicap. She didnot go off well, as Hector's Own stoppedher, but once on the journey she pacedvery fast and had the race in safe keep-ing a quarter of a mile from home. Erin'sFortune, who is by Erin's King fromMiss Fortune, and hails from Southland,was a good winner last season over alldistances. She is not a big mare, butshe possesses both speed and stamina, andis likely to do still better.

Marinca, who was second in the DashHandicap, is another Southland-bredhorse, but she,, is trained at Addington.She is a useful sprinter and very wellat present.Tarndale's Success.

Tarndale, who won the Belgium Handi-cap, is owned in Southland, but has beentrained for some time past by J. M'Len-nan at Oamaru. This was his first suc-cess since going to Oamaru. Tarndale isa powerfully built Btallion by HaroldRothschild,'and is a good stayer. He wenta sound race on the first day.

Mac Dillon's performance in the Bel-gium Handicap was full of merit. Hestood on the mark and must have lostnearly a hundred yards. He was neverseen through the race until three furlongsfrom home, where he was pacing very-fast, and he finished up in great style.It looked as though Mac Dillon wouldhave been very hard to beat had he goneoff right.

Regal Voyage, who was a hot favouritefor the Belgium Handicap, failed at apoint where it was thought she wouldhave been going at her best. With around to go she was in a good positionand she took chargein the back stretch.Three furlongs from home, when in thelead, she started to falter and soon fellback, well beaten. Regal Voyage is sucha good stayer that, her failure to go onin the concluding stages was hard to

.understand.Warplane Again.

In the Selwyn Handicap on SaturdayWarplane had a second start from SteelAll and beat him rather easily. Warplaneagain beat Steel All in the Lincoln Haudi-eap, over the same distance, both pacersbeing from the same mark. Warplane'slast effort was much better than that ofthe first day, as he made a bad beginningand was a long way back at halfthe dis-tance, yet he won decisively. J. Shaw ishaving a good innings to date, as he hasalready won three races at the meeting.

The Australian-bred pacer Steel All hasbeen unlucky in meeting Warplane, hav-ing to take second place to the Auck-lander on two occasions. Steel All isevidently best over short:courses, al-though when he came to the Dominion hewas raced over two milea.Harold Logan Adds Another Win.

Harold Logan, by winning the Canter-bury Handicap, scored his eighth victoryin his last ten starts, the last four beingin succession. Although reported lame, itdid not seem to affect him, as once hewas asked to go he speedily went to thehead of the field and,1 staying on, wonwith ease. If he remains sound he willgo much further on the running list andmay reach cup class, but after this racp.he moved out of the birdcage somewhatshort and he may not beas sound as wasanticipated.

Grand Light finished third to Neeoroand' Erin's Fortune in the Queeu MaryHandicap on the first day, and after amuch better race he was second to Har-old Logan in the Canterbury Handicap.The Matchlight pacer is on the improve.

Cardinal Logan Not Done With.One of the surprises of the Speedway

Handicap was the large dividend paid bythe winner, Cardinal Logan, who wasracing over his favourite distance andhad shown early in the day in the milesaddle event that he was in form. Thebrilliant pacer may be somewhat on thedown grade, but he is still capable of agood showing in sprint events. Hendrik-sen is very partial to the rails, but onthis occasion he had no chance of gettingthere and had to keep out some distanceall the journey. Cardinal Logan was pos-sibly lucky to succeed, as he only beat

A PYRRHIC VICTORY

The "Daily Telegraph" was quot-ed in a London message yesterday assaying that the next General Electionin Great Britain is "likely to see thelaying of the ghost of the LiberalParty for good," and some of ourlocal augurs are at drawing a simi-lar conclusion for New Zealand fromthe result of the Invercargill election.It must certainly be admitted thatthe heirs of Liberalism in this coun-try will not find it easy to draw anyencouragement from that result. Itis true that they have retained theseat—which is more than they wereable to do in Hutt or Parnell—butthey have retained it in circumstanceswhich provide less ground for ela-tion than for, fear and trembling.

Pyrrhus, as Bacon tells the story,when his friends congratulated to himhis victory over the Romans underFabricius, but with great slaughterof his own side, said to them again:"Yes; but if we have such another vic-tory we are undone."A few more such victories as theUnited Party has won at Invercar-gill, and it will be undone. Therecannot, of course, be enough ofthem on this side of the GeneralElection. The course which Mr.Forbes is taking ensures the safetyof his party in the meanwhile, butthe Invercargill victory should tellhim as clearly as the defeats in Huttand Parnell what will, be its fatethen.

The personal element played solarge a part in Invercargill at theGeneral Election that care is neededin interpreting the figures. As thereport from Invercargill which wepublished yesterday showed, the con-stituency has for more than thirtyyears been so consistent in return-ing Liberal candidates that it hascome to be regarded as one of thegreatest Liberal strongholds in thecountry. In one sense it might besaid to have been the last of thosestrongholds, the last refuge for aLiberalism which everywhere elsehad grown ashamed of its name. Asone who had been intimately asso-ciated with nearly all the greattriumphs of the Liberalism whichhad dominated our politics for morethan twenty consecutive years, SirJoseph Ward had good cause to beproud of them. When, therefore, theparty which he had once led com-mitted the absurd,blunder of chang-ing the honoured name of "Liberal"for the meaningless and colourless"National," he preferred to keep theold flag flying, and he returned toParliament in 1925 as the only Lib-eral in the House. Though it wasonly by a majority of 159 that hewon this consistently Liberal seat onthat occasion, three points must beborne in mind in explanation of thenarrow margin. He had been inretirement for six years, andhad, therefore, to some extent losttouch with politics. The LabourParty had a candidate in the fieldwhopolled 811 votes. But above allthere was that unprecedented per-sonal boom of Mr. Coates, .who asMr. Massey's colleague had won thetitle of "the man who gets thingsdone," but as leader and Premierwas almost an unknown quantity,which was carrying all before it. Inthose circumstances Sir Joseph's re-tention of Invercargill at all was noimean performance.

In 1928 there was a startlingchange in,the constituency as the re-sult of a double swing-over. TheCoates boom of the previous GeneralElection had completely collapsed.No man could possibly have livedup to thatportrait of an ideal leaderwhich had been presented in a veryastute advertising campaign, and theinevitable reaction was strengthenedby the pinch of agricultural and in-dustrial depression and unemploy-ment. On the otherhand, the demor-alised National Party had been re-organised on the eve of the GeneralElection, just in time to get the fulladvantage of the widespread discon-tent, and the choice of Sir JosephWard gave them a leader withoutwhom they could not possibly havejustified their new title of "United."His reputation and his energy, whichillness could not restrain, gave themnew life and hope. A Ward boomwas substituted for the Coates boomof 1925, and with the help of Labourput a Ward Government into office.A popularity which was mainly per-sonal had naturally reached itseLmax in Sir Joseph's own consti-.tuency, and the result was that thenarrow margin of 159 which the In-vercargill electors had given himthree years previously was increasedto 3178. That this majority, or any-thing like it, should have been main-tained at yesterday's by-election wasobviously out of the question. Inthe absence of that happy combina-tion of personal and public causeswhich contributed to his triumph in1928 it is highly improbable that SirJoseph himself could have repeatedit. It is certain that no other candi-date could conceivably have comewithin measurable distance of that

majority, and to treat the drop ofthe United majority from 3178to 492as the measure of the general depre-ciation of the parly's stock would befallacious.

Amid much that was uncertain inthe contest two general expectationshave been fulfilled by the heavypolling and the close finish. Whenthe 693 absentee and postal votes areadded to the 9106votes recorded yes-terday the total will beno further be-hind the 10,498polled at the GeneralElection that it is natural to expectat a by-election. If the narrow ma-jority of 492 cannot, for the reasonsgiven, be reasonably compared withSir Joseph Ward's last majority of2928, it does not appear that thefigures of 1925 afford a much betterstandard of comparison. It is truethat Mr. Vincent Ward has almosttrebled his father's majority of 159on that occasion, but, as we havepointed out, Reform was then at thevery top of the wave and Liberalismright down in the trough, and there ]was also the disturbing element of aLabour candidate who polled 811 :votes. Why was there no such can- <didate on this occasion? In a tri- 1angular contest in 1922Labour, with2618 votes, was a very little way be-hindReform. May we suppose that 1Labour's satisfaction with the squeez-ability of the Government has dic-tated a benevolent neutrality on this ;occasion? Whatever the cause of :its abstention, the PrimeMinister hasno cause for jubilation over the re-sult. He certainly shows extravagant 'gratitude for a very small mercy ;when he speaks, of "the splendidlead" that Invercargill has given tothe whole Dominion and of the en-couragement that it has given to theGovernment. If we strike a meanbetween Sir Joseph Ward's last twomajorities as a basis of comparison,his son's figures, despite the solid ad-vantage of a sympathy vote, still 'show a falling-off of about a thous-and. A few more such victories, ;and,as we have said, Mr.Forbes will !be undone. 1

"FOUR YEARS TOO LATE"

The Wellington Ratepayers' Asso-ciation, according to the chairman ofTuesday night's meeting, has comeinto being because it was consideredthat something should be done inview of the ever-increasing burden ofrates. "Unfortunately," the chair-man added, "in one direction, it wasfour years too late. It was possiblethat, if the association had been inexistence before, the rates would nothave been raised to anything like thesame extent." We can agree withthis in a measure, but the chairmanmuch understates the delay when hefixes it at four years. There hasbeen deplorable apathy on the partof ratepayers over a much largerperiod. From time to time there hasbeen a display of interest, but it hasusually been short-lived and oftensuperficial. It has been sufficientneither to induce the most capablemen to be candidates for the. councilnor to give solid support to those inoffice who sought to introduce soundbusiness methods and economy. Insaying this we donot belittle the workdone by various district electors andratepayers' associations and by theCivic League. But the real workdone in this way has usually beenleft to the few and the majority ofbusiness men have been merely cas-ually critical. Now it seems thatthe weight of rates has caused themto take a more active interest inmuni-cipal affairs. They have awakenedto the fact that the council has powerto borrow without ratepayers' sanc-tion, and they are moving sleepily tolock the door of an empty stable. Yetif they are really vigilant they mayrecover something of what has beenlost. They may strengthen the handsof the council, for example, in de-manding that the city shall no longerbe denied itsfair share of motor taxa-tion, that the taxes paid by motoristswho use city roads shall not be di-verted to other localities. This isone of the main causes of the risingrate demand.Roads are costing more,and the revenue which the motoristsare rightly contributing is beingtaken for country purposes—all ex-cept eight per cent, of the 4d petroltax and a share of heavy traffic fees.It is amazing that the injustice ofthis even now passes with only faintprotest. Municipal apathy in thismatter has been so marked that thePrime Minister can make the amazingstatement that the towns have had thegreater advantage in expenditurefrom the highways fund. When sucha statement can be made it showseither that Mr. Forbes knows littleof the facts or thinks that the townsare so neglectful of their own inter-ests that such an erroneous estimatewill pass unchallenged.

ON THE WRONG TRACK

While we welcome the lesseningapathy of which the birth of theWellington Ratepayers' Associationaffords evidence, we regret that themain point of the association's at-tack is a measure designed to con-serve the interests of the general com-munity. The Betterment Bill is notto give authority for lavish expen-diture. Its sole purpose is to enablethe council to recover from property-owners who are specially benefiteda fair contribution towards the costof the beneficial works. The fullcost will not berecovered where thereis general community benefit, asthere is in 99 per cent, of publicworks. The general community willpay its quota. No fair-minded rate-payer would wish that it should payless or that the individual property-owner should be.compelled to paymore than his due. But where thereis special, as distinct from general,benefit, is it right that the property-owner should profit largely at theexpense of his fellow-citizens? Thereis replanning which must be donein Wellington. The longer it is de-layed the more expensive it mustbecome. We do not suggest that

it should be done all at once, butthe council should be ready with itsproposals so that it can at least setback building lines where necessarybefore expensive many-storied build-ings are erected. This replanning isnecessary and for business purposes.The speaker who referred to the"city beautiful" as an idea whichWellington could not afford has sure-ly not read a line of the explana-tions of town-planning principlesgiven by the Director of Town-Plan-ning, or he would know that effi-ciency and economy are the greatobjectives of the movement. In thiswork the city will be greatly ham-pered unless it has workable better-ment legislation. Against the prin-ciple of such legislation the speakersat Tuesday's meeting advanced novalid argument. Indeed, the onlygeneral arguments submitted ' werethe quite mistaken one that the fewwould be levied to meet the cost ofworks for the common good, and ahalf-hearted demand that street-im-provement improved the propertiesin the street, which surely cannotstand as a general statement of fact.Other faults found in the Bill werematters of detail—the constitutionof the Assessment Board, the pro-cedure on appeal, and the method ofcharging the property-owner. Itwould be muchmore reasonable, andmore to the interests of ratepayers,if the association, instead of tryingto block the Bill as a whole, wouldpropose specific alterations to re-move these objections and discussthem with the council.

STATE UN-BUSINESS FACESTHE STORM

"Influences of outside control dis-counted all efforts by Railway Com-missioners to conduct their under-takings on sound business princi-ples," reports Mr. Harold Burston,after a special investigation madeinto Commonwealth economics on be-half of the Melbourne "Herald." Hisdisclosure of the railway position, asset out in an article elsewhere in thisissue,raises the alternative of de-poli-ticalising the railways, or of sellingthem, and casts a side-light on theFederal Loan Council's discussion onwages, cabled on Tuesday. Theslump has driven home what every-body knew—that State employershipis ineffective unless separated frompolitics, and that it would be betterto sell State business undertakingsthan to retain political management.And this applies not only to the rail-ways. The economic crisis is de-monstrating how seriously all Gov-ernment expenditures have got out ofhand.

A body more scientific and more effec-tive, in control than constantly chang-ing Parliaments, whose policies arenecessarily frequently dictated by poli-tical expediency, and are consequentlyhampered in giving effect to remediesthat are admitted to be necessary, isessential in order to make adjustmentsand to effect permanent reforms in thecontrol of all Government undertakings.Another point emphasised isthe needof encouraging of oversea capital toinvest in Australia. If oversea capi-tal comes in as an investment, itbrings the scientific management thatGovernments lack, it pays taxes, 'andit prevents over-capitalisation (or itpays the piper); in any case, it takesthe risk. But a borrowing, national-ising Government takes all the riskon its own incompetent shoulders,and gives oversea capital an assured,risk-less interest rate, which untaxedand unprofitable State businesses arepowerless to meet.

NEWS OF THE DAY

Oriental Bay Wall.A correspondent asks if any provi-

sion is being made for a small flight ofsteps in the new part of the OrientalBay wall. "Where the men are work-ing at present is used in summer timeby numbers of people with their child-ren as a picnic spot when the otherbeach is too crowded. The steps at pre-sent opposite the Orient Hotel are use-less for this purpose. Any person walk-ing around the parade in the summertime will find numbers of adults in thisspot."

' 'Better Off than in 1926.''The workers' representative, Mr. P.

M. Butler, in his address to the Arbi-tration Court yesterday, at the hearingof the builders and general labourersdispute^ said that "the main argumenttobe usedagainst us will be thatpricesof primary production have fallen, andthat there is less of a national incometo be distributed amongst the popula-tion. Whilst the prices of primary pro-ducts may have fallen, the total valueof products has increased, and in real-ity we are in a better position to-daythan we were in 1926, when the pre-sent award was made."No Money for Amusements., A witness in the Arbitration Courtyesterday, a married woman, said thather husband, a builder's labourer, earn-ed £i 4s a week, and was in constantemployment. They only spent 2s onamusements in the last two years—theywent once to ace the picture "UncleTom's Cabin." They could not affordto spend more on amusements. Askedif they spent anything on books ormagazines, witness said: "We onlyread the 'Evening Post,' and we watchthe advertisements to see if there isany better work offering." Witnesssaid she did not think a householdcould manage properly to-day with anincome of less than £6 a week, andput by a little for a rainy day. It wasstated by the witness that they paid£1 15s a week on a Government loanfor the purchase of their house.

Moratorium for Bents.Melbourne dwelling landlords appear

to be in for a lean time. When inter-viewed by delegates representing 300unemployed who, had marched throughMelbourne from "the Trades Hall to en-list-the sympathy of party leaders to-wards a proposed rent moratorium, theleader of the State Country ProgressiveParty (Mr. Dunstan) promised his sup-port for the measure. The delegationsaw the Chief Secretary (Mr. Tunne-clifl'e), who said the Bill should be be-fore the Victorian Assembly in a fort-night or three weeks. Earlier it wasannounced by the president of theTrades Hall Council that the Leader ofthe Opposition in the Assembly (SirStanleyArgylo) had intimated he wouldgive them an audience if a suitabletime could be arranged. It is proposedalso to solicit the support of the unoffi-cial Leader in the Legislative Council(Dr. Harris), where the real crisis isexpected.

A Warm Town Hall.Music lovers who by reason of ad-

vanced age or physical frailty or loveof tho fireside make it a rule to stayat home on cold nights may accept theassurance that our new To1"); Hall ispleasantly warmed for tho periodicorgan recitals,, says the Dunedin"Star." The interior is as cosy as adrawing-room in a well-appointed man-sion. The temperature is always nicelyadjusted to the necessity of the wea-ther. Many of our citizens are also ap-preciating the carefulness of the attend-ants in regard to the door working soas to exclude draughts and preventsqueakiness. Such attentions to com-fort as are hereby acknowledged will intime convince the public generally thatthis hall is not to be avoided in thewinter. Alas, the same cannot be saidof the Wellington Town Hall, forthough the stokers stoke the boiler fur-nace right willingly the interior is notas cosy as a drawing-room in a well-appointed mansion. The fact of thematter probably is that the heatingequipment of tho Wellington hall is farout of date, if it ever was in date.

Opossum Trapping Season.An application made to the Depart-

ment of Internal Affairs by a Kaitokeresident for an extension of the opos-sum trapping season in tho WellingtonAcclimatisation Society*s district for atleast six weeks was dealt with by thesociety last -evening. The applicantstated that tho weather during the firstten days since the opening of the sea-son had been so adverse that trappinghad been impossible. It was decidedto reply that the society was not infavour of an extension. The opinionsof rangers and trappers were quoted toshow that an extension would leavevery few opossums next year. The diffi-culty of letting trappers in the backcountry know of the extension was alsoadvanced as an argument against theapplication. It took them several daysto get out of the bush, ana it wouldthen be too late for them to go back.It was possible that there would haveto be a close season next year through-out the country on account of the scarc-ity of opossums. Several trappers hadwritten from Westland to say that theywere doing so badly that a close sea-son wouldprobably have to be observed.

"RATHER A CHANGE"

AND SURELY A WELCOME ONE

(By N.Z.)

It is rather a change, remarked theMinister of Internal Affairs on Tues-day, to have an application for ar artunion to raise money for the protectionof native birds and forests. Thus itcould not be said (he added later) thatart unions were wholly harmful.

Tho cause of the native bird, for somany years unchampioned, and still un-championed in any large financial sense,is surely sufficient to sanctify anymeans that might be adopted to raisethe needed money, if sanctification bepossible at all. Even those people whoreject the idea that the end justifies themeans will yet agree that preservationof birds and bush (the two being inter-dependent) is an end excellent in itself.One can picture every kind and condi-tion of New Zealander seeking to buya ticket for friendless birds and treesthat, having no votes, arepeculiarly un-fitted to fend.for. themselves.

Owing to lack of funds, it will be ad-mitted that administration of the na-tive fauna by the Department of Inter-nal Affairs has not been the brightestpage in New Zealand's history, and inso far as the present Minister can makeamends, at no cost to the Department,lie will be righting a wrong and creat-ing a better feeling in many quarters.And a spirit to work together is whatis wanted.

Besides, the money to be raised by abirds and. forest art union would be ex-pended in such a way as to be in parta relief of Governmental responsibili-ties. It would also be preventive ofcertain further damage to bird andbush—damage that would create new Gov-ernmental responsibilities, perhaps moreserious than people realise.

In applying for a permit to hold anart union in aid of its campaign, theNew Zealand Native Birds ProtectionSociety pointed out that the slaughterof native birds and the unnecessary de-struction of forests is still too great.This is not denied. The special recom-mendation of the application is that anational and altogether unselfish taskhas been undertaken—a task which pri-vate subscription cannot carry through,which Governments will not undertake,and which, while altruistic, is yet aneconomic need.

TARIFF CHANGES

TIMBER AND SPIRITS

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

DUNEDIN, This Day."Although we have not received all

we asked for, the New Zealand saw-millers, will be satisfied with the in-creased duties on timber, which willcertainly have a/"beneficial effect onthe industry," said Mr. Brent, chair-man of the Dunedin, Timber Merchants'Association. "While the duties were inthe right direction, the Governmenthad failed to make allowance in itstariff proposals for their timber systemof measurement. Tho duty on 4 x 1timber was doublo that on 4 x J tim-ber, consequently the Americans dressedand thinned their timber, thus causingloss of employment to New Zealandcrs.He was certain that the new dutieswould have the effect of giving moreemployment in the Dominion. In South-land the production of 1,0(10,000 feetof timber gave work to twenty-fourmen for a year., If the duties prevent-ed timber from being imported everymillion feet of timber kept out of thecountry would result in livings beingprovided for twenty-four families..That would give some idea of the valueof the protection now being given bythe 1 jvernment. However, the higherduties would not stop importations, butwould reduce them. "I am certainthat the protection will give more em-ployment to labour," said Mr. Brent,"and the new duties will cause redpine to be used instead of Oregon floor-ing and lining. This will not have theeffect of increasing the cost of theworking man's house, but the man whobuilds a palatial home with oak panel-lings and expensive timbers is usuallywell able to afford the cost, which willnow be increased for him."..

"We are not so dissatisfied as wewere," said the manager of a whole-sale concern which does business inspirits, in regard to the alteration inthe duty on spirits. The situation hadundoubtedly been eased in regard tocase whisky. Another wholesaler saidthe position was now much more equit-able. Ho could not see how the Gov-ernment was going to get any revenueout of the last tariff. By reason of thenew tariff all bottling within the Do-minion would be cut out. A thirdwholcsalo merchant said that tho dutywould be now apportioned on a muchfairer basis. He failed to see how theGovernment could receive any extrarevenue by the first method that hadbeen tried. In tho meantime a gooddeal of inconvenience had been caused,for some spirits had already changedhands under tho scale originally adopt-ed The whole idea would be quite allright when everything was straight-ened out again.

PLENTY OF TALK

OBSTEUCTION ALLEGED

A MINISTER'S CHARGE

The suggestion that the Official Op-position was unduly holding up thepassage of the Customs AmendmentBill in the House of Eepresentativeslast night was made by the acting-Leader of the House (the Hon. E. A.Eansomi), who had taken charge of theBill in the temporary absence from theChamber of the Prime Minister.

He said that, although it was near-ing midnight, and they had been onthe Bill for over seven hours, they hadnot passed the short title. It lookedlike an attempt by the Official Opposi-tion to obstruct the business of theHouse.

The Leader of the Opposition (theRight Hon. J. G. Coates): "Nothing ofthe kind. "•

Mr. Bansom said that they had hadample opportunity to discuss the Bill.

Mr. Coates: "Now we are finding aweak spot."

Mr. Bansom said that the PrimeMinister had agreed to adjourn the de-bate on the previous night because sev-eral members of the Opposition wereaway and wanted to take part in thediscussion. Now they were havingthe Bill unduly delayed. He wouldnot like to say that. pressure wasbeing brought to bear.

Mr. Ooatea said that every memberhad the right to discuss such an import-ant Bill. Ho had known tariff pro-posals to have been discussed for twoweeks. He would aßsure the Govern-ment that no pressure was beingbrought to bear on his party to pro-long the passage of the Bill unduly.The Minister should be careful not toannoy the House. .

Mr. W. L. Martin (Labour, Raglan):"We will give you a run if you wantone."

Mr. Coates said that he could notspeak for the members on tho otherside of the House. He did not intendto hold up the business of the House.The suggestion was ridiculous and theMinister surely could not have meantit.

Mr. H. S. S. Kyle (Reform, Riccar-ton) saia that he intended to' takeovery opportunity to discuss such animportant Bill. > He was in the Houseto do the work he was paid to do.

PARK ROAD RAMP

A PROMISE CKITICISED

GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTION

Some months ago a deputation wait-ed on the Prime Minister, the lateSir Joseph Ward, with therequest thatthe Government1 should undertake theconstruction of a ramp at the Petonerailway crossing and over Park road.Tho Prime Minister informed the depu-tation that the Government would bewilling' to provide two-tnirds of thef.ost of both ramps if the local bodiesaffected found the balance.

Later a letter from the General Man-ager of Railways was before the Cityand Suburban Highways Board on thesubject, and in view of the differenceLetween his statements and the state-ment of the Prime Minister, the boardappointed several of its members toform a deputation to the Minister ofRailways, with the object of obtainingconfirmation of the promise given bythe Prime Minister. The result of thedeputation was a letter from the Hon.W. A. Veitch (Minister of Railways)read at a meeting of thn board yes-terday, in which ne said he.thought itwas apparent that the Prime Ministerhad misunderstood the position regaid-ing the importance of the railway linefrom the industrial area in EasternHutt, and had given his undertakingregarding the Park road ramp nnler amisapprehension. Th« Minister saidthat in view of the financial positionof the" Government the present was notan opportune time to consider an ex-penditure of such a nature.

The chairman of the Cityuo Subur*ban Highways Board (Mr. G. A. T*oup)was in agreement with the latter state-ment, but he was of opinion that thematter should be held in abeyance tillt'.iO Government was in the position tojustify the expenditure. The rampwould be important when the Wainuitunnel came to be made, and he sub-mitted that there was no misappre-hension in the Prime Minister's mindwhen he gave his answer to the depu-tation.

On the motion of the- Mayor of East-bourne (Mr. H. A. Jones) the attitudeof the chairman of the board was ap->proved, and it was agreed that in themeantime no demand should be madeon the Government for the fulfilmentof the promise given by Sir JosephWard.

FINE WEATHER

SOME WELCOME SUNSHINE

The anti-cyclone mentioned in yes-terday's weather notes has during thelast twenty-four hours become morepronounced. Barometers over a largearea are now as high as 30.2 inches ormore. The centre of this harbingerof finer weather, is moving towards thenorthern part of the Dominion, and,with the rise in pressure, a marked im-provement has taken place. Blue skieswere ruling in moat places this morn-ing, and there is a feeling of springin the air. Last night, however, wasvery cold owing to the clear skies, andsevere frosts were recorded in places.Scattered light rain fell yesterday inplaces, principally on the East Coastof the North Island, but the only placeto report any rain this morning wasCape Maria van Diemen, Winds havehad a northerly tendency over theSouth Island, and a southerly tendencyover the North Island.

Fine weather with a light southerlywind was experienced in Auckland yes-terday. Wellington seems to have hadthe worst weather of any of the maincentres. Cloudy and misty conditionswere accompanied by occasional show-ers which continued until this morn-ing. Christehurcb had fair weatherwith a considerable amount of sun-shine. In Dunedin conditions weredull, but no rain is reported as havingfallen, although at Port Chalmers, ason tho previous day when Dunedin it-self had no rain, light rain fell.

A deep depression passed Hobart at8 o'clock last night, and its effect islikely to be felt in the western andsouthern parts of the South Islandwithin about twenty-four hours. Theforecast issued at noon to-day indicatesthat at first light to moderate windsmay be expected, southerlies continu-ing north of Cape Egmont and Napier,and northerlies ruling elsewhere.Northerlies, however, will soon be-come general and freshen somewhat.Fine weather is likely to be generalat first, but unsettled conditions withsome rain aro likely later in SouthIsland western and southern districts.Temperatures will become milder.

CORRESPONDENCECONCERNING MUSIC

N.Z. EUGBY UNION'S LAPSE

(To the Editor.)Sir,—lt is.somewhat disturbing to note

that neither at the Rugby Union's din-ner on Saturday night nor at the musicians'reception last night has any protest beenmade against the New Zealand KugbyUnion's egregious blunder, staggering sole-cism, and breach of etiquette—call it whatone will—in employing a mechanical devicefor playing the National Anthem at theTest match on Saturday. Surelyit offers themost biting comment upon the futility otMusic Week aspirations that, on the cul-minating day of the festival primarily de-signed to combat the advancing tide ofmusical mechanism, the community's songof loyalty should be blared forth from thebrazen mouths of loud-speakers. This lat-ter-day procedure is bad enough in thetheatre, goodness knows, but on an occa-sion of public—one might say nationalceremony, and in the actual presence, ofHis Excellency the Governor-General, whorepresents the King, it seems to me thevery acme of indecency for the KugbyUnion not to have engaged the best bandavailable.

But, Sir, the offence is more heinousthan appears on the surface. The factsare that the Wellington Institute MilitaryBand had been definitely engaged for thefunction, but on Friday the conductor wascalled up on the telephone and advisd thatunless the personnel of the band were re-ducd by fifteen players the engagementwas "off." Of course, the conductor re-fured point-blank to spoil his combinationjust to satisfy the parsimonious avarice(excuse the tautology) of the RugbyUnion's financial comptroller: so on Satur-day afternoon New Zealand's Governor-General was greeted by a chorus of rauc-ous recorded rendition, in place of the dig-nified band performance which he, natur-ally, expected, and which was incontest-ably his due.

Your contributor, "Auricle," •in lastnight's "Post," touched pertinently onmany points arising out of the recentMusic Week, but it is strange that he;too, omitted mention of this outstandingexample of what Sir Hugh Allen aptlytermed the debasement of music.

As regards Music Week itself, one aspecthas become-very clear: that the whole fes-tival was planned on lines which revealits promoters as being totally out of touchwith local musical taste. Many musiciansof wide experience were not invitedeither to take part in the concerts or togive any advice in the selection of itemsfor performance, some of which were calcu-lated to frighten away even ardent con-cert-goers.

There is in Wellington a conservativeelement among the musical authorities—what might be termed an inner clique, orring—which consistently refuses to movewith the times, and to recognise thatmusic which appeals solely to the intellecthas small hope of success in a preponder-atingly - utilitarian community. In thewhole of Wellington I doubt whetherthere are more than a thousand personswho really appreciate classical music.

Even in London one sees the samepeople over, and over again at high-classconcerts, and probably the same proportionof the population in every big city obtainswith reference to genuine love of musicin its finest aspect. So it will ever be.But, as I have repeatedly remarked, thereis avast mass of music of good quality asyet almost entirely unexploited, but whichthe "highbrows" persist iri ignoring. With-out pandering to vulgar taste, it is pos-sible to interest the public in music if onlycommon-sense be brought to bear upon thesubject. Personally, I can appreciatemusic of every grade, but I have alwaysmade allowance for. what is, after all, anatural divergence of taste.—l am, etc.,

L. D. AUSTIN.13th August,[The question of engaging a band to

provide music at the Test match was con-sidered by both the Wejlington and theNew Zealand Rugby Union ManagementCommittees. The New Zealand Union'scommittee dealt with an application fromthe Institute Band, and decided to acceptthe services of thirty, players, half thenumber stated m the application to bethe band's full strength. It is understoodthat the band did not accept the engage-ment on account of the stipulation thatthirty players were required.]

RESIDENT.

IMPERIAL CONFERENCE

(To the Editor.)Sir,—At the Conference in 1926, the late

Lord Balfour prepared a formula, whichwas adopted, defining the relationship ofthe self-governing autonomous communi-ties within the Empire as "equal in status,ia no way subordinate one to another inrespect of their domestic or external af-fairs, thoiigh united by a common alle-giance to the Crown, and freely associatedas members of the British Commonwealthof Nations." In due course a Committeeof Experts was appointed to draft a Billfor submission to the Conference aboutto meet, giving full expression legally tothe new status. I have just received the"English Review" for July, and it containsa most illuminative article by Mr. J. H.Morgan, K.C., on "The Legal Unity ofthe Empire." It would be impossible todeal with all the matters raised by theable and distinguished jurist. I can onlypoint out two or three. He says :^ "Theprincipal flaw in Lord Balfour's formulawas (and stilj is, of course) the legisla-tive supremacy of the Imperial Parlia-ment." Writing as a New Zealander, 1cannot see how the Empire can continue(as such) unless the limbs and memberswhich compose the body are united by ahead. That head is and must be either—(1) the Imperial Parliament, or (2) someother executive and initiator, body whosedecisions must be binding upon all mem-bers of the Empire, subject to the ap-proval of their Legislatures. I give adeclaration of war and the making ofpeace

'as outstanding cases. But there are otherspossible, such as the regulation of theemployment of coloured labour on ocean-going ships.

Hitherto it has been, the law/ says Mr.Morgan, "if and when a statute of anyDominion conflicts with a statute of theImperial Parliament (by which I mean astatute expressly or by necessary intend-ment applying to them), the Dominion sta-tute is null and void to the extent, butonly to the vextent, of such conflict."

"The Imperial Parliament," says Mr.Morgan^ "can only be disinherited of itssovereignty, in other words its supremacy,by investing the Parliaments of the Do-minions with a sovereignty equally Imper-ial. You will then have seven Empiresinstead of one." He pointsout that if theDominions are endowed with a' generalpower of repealing all existing Imperiallegislation, each and every one of thranwill be thereby empowered to do whatat present they cannot do—establish anindependent' republic or even a dictator-ship.

An on this point—the power of the Do-minions to repeal existing Imperial legis-

lation—he quotes the. Act of Succession,the main features of which of course are—(1) the Hanoverian Dynasty and (2) theProtestancy of the Monarch. On the firstpoint he says the Dominions can repealthe Act of Settlement and change the suc-cession, or, indeed, abolish the monarch-ical form of government. On the secondpoint, with his eyes on Canada, he says:"We have to face the fact that there isone Dominion to-day in which an over-whelming majority of its inhabitants pro-fess and believe the Catholic faith." Mr.Morgan points out that the Committee

ofExperts have "in the preamble" to theirBill recommended that any alteration in,the law touching the succession to theThrone shall hereafter require the assentof both the Imperial and all the Do-minion Parliaments, but, as he trul» Rays"Preambles have long ago lost -early illtheir legal virtue. The day& have passedwhen they were regarded as a substantivepart of a statute; they have no legislativeeffect. It is a poor prospect for thoseof us who still cling to the idea that theCrown is one and indivisible throughoutthe Empire to feel that this maxim asregards the succession to the Crown willnow hang by the precarious thread of a.preamble."

These matters are of such tremendougimportance to the Empire as a whole—and to us loyal New Zealanders in parti-cular—that I trust public opinion willmake it clear to the Prime Minister beforehe leaves that, whilst recognising ournationhood, we want, not even m thesmallest degree, the lessening *t the tiwthatbind us to the great Motherland iromwhich we have sprung.—l am, etc.,

AN UNFAIR BURDENTHE HIGHWAYS FUND

CITY DWELLER'S PLIGHT

(By "A.8.C.")

The rise in the petrol tax. has bee*generally welcomed in the country dit-tricts. People there with a knowledgtof roading realise that it is a step fur-ther towards rating relief; that the pre-sent rise has been to lighten the loadon the Consolidated Fund, i.e., the loadon the taxpayer in general, rather thanthe load on farm property in particu-lar, which is the immediate concern ofthe farming community. They knowtheir turn will come, for a further risein the petrol tax is a foregone conclus-ion, the principle of the user paying forthe roads having become strongly en-trenched in public estimation, and theopinion being held that petrol and tiresform the most equitable basis onwhicito establish the necessary taxation.

It is not the intention here to dis-cuss whether tjiat basis is equitable' ornot, although the matter is more thanopen to debate. What is of greater im-portance is to examine the distributioaof the proceeds. When people agreethat the user should pay they mean pre-cisely what they say, that the usershould pay for the roads he uses. Byfar the greater proportion of motortransport takes place in the cities andenvirons, and next to the cities the,boroughs and towns throughout theDominion; Under the allocation of theHighways Fund, however, only 8_ percent, of the proceeds f/ies to the cities.On what basis that allocation was ar-ranged is not at all clear, but it seemspossible that the length of actual mainhighway passing through towns and'cities must have been taken.

_If this

is the case it is a scandalous thing thatan injustice so great to city dwellersshould have been perpetrated.

When the farmers made their demandfor relief in regard to highways theymade it largely on the ground that citymotorists went flocking outsat week-ends and holiday times all over thecountry, tearing up the roads, and on.this account they persuaded a largebody of non-thinking people that equit-able assistance would be to place a uni-versal tax on\ motor traffic and apply itto the main highways. The result, ofcourse, was the Main Highways Fundand its allocation; then, in due course,the petrol tax.

The vast proportion of the proceedsof motor taxation comesfrom the citiesand back into the cities goes only 8 percent. A small proportion comes from.,the country districts, and into the coun-try goes almost the lot. It is a"delight-ful exploitation of the town cousin, thisgetting him to pay •for miles of countryroad he never .did and never mil uso,and at the same time bear the burdouof his own city roads, with practicallyno help whatever. Once the city dwel-ler wakens to the fact that, though henever has, and probably never will, beable to run a motor-car, it is he whoactually bears the expense of other peo-ple d.ing so, once the city dweller rea-lises that he' has to meet practicallythe whole of the cost of his own cityroading, and that of the country aswell, no doubt there will be an urgentinquiry into the whole roading posi-tion, particularly as the non-motorist isnot only supplying the means for othersto run cars, but at the same time, andprecisely from that cause, is paying in-creased tram and train fares for hisown transportation; once, I say, thatthe city dweller really becomes awaketo this. exploitation of himself,. theremust result an overhaul of a position,that ;never should have arisen, with »people-supposed to have intelligenceenough to cast a vote, and alertnessenough to retain a say in the handlingof their money.*) Thehighways policy—if ever there was ahighways "policy,??at any rate so far as finance,is concern-ed—is an utter farce, and the sooner itis ended the better. With apetrol taxof sevenpence per gallon, a tax almostwholly borne by city dwellers, passedon to them in the course of business,we have not an iota of improvement inthe highways prospects, and city peoplemust awaken to .the fact that everypenny motor taxation goes up, if thingsremain as they are, is going to fall, thegreat weight of it, upon their own in-nocent shoulders. The city dwellermust put up a fight for a fair share ofthe Highways Fund, and insist on amethod of allocation that will definitelyprovide it, or some other method mustbe taken to place the highways burdenwhere it properly lies. More, the high-ways should be called upon to provetheir economic claim to the expensethey have entailed, and justify the in-creasing drain they are imposing upoathe community. It is time to call ahalt and take stock of the position. .THEBANK ANDFARMERS

COSTLY LUXURY

AIR MAIL SERVICE

BIG LOSS LAST YEAR

GOVEENMENT ANXIOUS

One of the numerous costly blunders—the introduction of the East-West airmail service—made by the Bruce-PageGovernment during the years it heldoffice and squandered the finances ofthe country is now reacting, and addinganother burden to the Scullin Ministry

in the finding of an annual subsidy ofsubstantial proportions when it can beill-afforded,says the Melbourne "Age."It is interesting to recall the introduc-tion of the service.

Negotiations were entered into be-tween representatives of the BruceGovernment and West Australian Air-ways, Limited, with the result that theservice waß brought into being earlylast year. A contract was drawn upunder which the Government shouldpay the company a heavy subsidy onall mail matter carried. This contractis an illuminating document. It pro-vides that the company shall be paidat the rate of 12s 8d per lb for allmails conveyed from.Adelaide to Perthand vice versa, but payment at thisrate is to be made for a minimum of6001b per trip whether it is carried ornot. Up to the present the heaviestmail carried weighed only 1871b, so theGovernment is called upon to pay largeamounts in subsidy for mail that is nothandled. On the past yearfs activi-ties the subsidy has amounted to£39,520, and all the Government hasreceived in return is £8020—an amountderived from the surcharge on all let-ters carried.

DOUBLED.The contract further provides that

should the company carry the minimummail of 6001b the Bubsidy would be thesame as paid on lesser quantities, butthe Commonwealth would receive£25,740 in surcharge feesf and its losswould consequently be minimised. Butshould the company eaxry 8001b ofmail for four consecutive months itssubsidy would be doubled, and it wouldbe paid at the rate of £79,040 perannum for the remaining period of thecontract. This, of course, would in-volve the Government in heavierlosses, as the surcharge would amountto only £34,332.

The existing state of affairs as taras the East-West air mail service isconcerned has caused the present Gov-ernment much anxiety. It cannot,however, effect any economies in thisdirection on account of the fact thatthere are still four years of the five-year contract to run, and the loss mustcontinue, unless, of course, the com-pany itself desired to cancel the agree-ment. This would be accepted by theGovernment with open hands. It holdsthat the service is unwarranted, as theroute followed is almost identical withthat of the transcontinental railway.Not only does the air service takerovenue from the Commonwealth inthis direction, but the fact that it car-ries an average of only 1871b of air

mail per weekly trip each way indi-cates that this particular phase of theactivity is not greatly availed of bybusiness people. The Government doesnot hide the fact that it considers theBervice is something that is not re-quired, but it would view the enter-prise differently if it were serving theoutback country.AIR-LINE PARALLELS RAILWAY.

One of the greatest bugbears asso-ciated with the service as far as theGovernment is concerned is the factthat while the air service runs parallelwith the transcontinental"railway attakes revenue from this phase of theGovernment's activities, and shouldnever have been sanctioned by theBruce Government. Passengers paypractically the same fare by air as bytrain, and the saving of time is. aninducement to many to travel by air.As a result, the Government not onlypays large sums towards the mainten-ance of the air service, but it also hasto bear the losses of railway revenue.These losses would be greatly mini-mised if there were no air service, asthe number of passengers carried re-turn to the aerial service approximately£10,000 a year. ,

During 1928-29 the profit on workingexpenses on the Bast-West line was£32,000, but in 1929-30, the year theaerial service first operated, there; wasa loss of £25,000. It must be pointedout however, that the aerial servicewaa not th§ only contributory factor tothis state of affairs—washaways lastyear resulted in the train service beuigtemporarily disorganised and involvedloss of traffic.

Since the present Government cameinto office it has considered the ques-tion of taking the control of air ser-vices out of the hands of private eater-prise, but, as already pointed out, itis in such a position that it cannot dothis, as the companies concerned operateTinder lengthy contracts. When pos-sible, however, it has reduced theamount of subsidy granted by theBruce Government, and in one in-

stance it was entirely cut out whenthe contract expired.

TO RECLAIM DESERT

DAMMING THE COLORADO

THE WORK COMMENCED

(From "The Post's" Representative.)SAN FBANCISCQ, 23rd July.

Preliminary construction work on theBoulder Dam, a £33,000,000 power,irrigation, and flood control project onthe Colorado Biver, has just begun.

Btreetß for the town site are being laidout.

The Boulder Dam will signalise a na-tional conquest over the groat Americandesert. With the aid of dollars, men,and engineering skill, it will build agreat national resource. It will createnew geography, and inaugurate a newera in the south-western part of theUnited States. With Imperial Valley,California, freed of the flood menace,new hope will be given to one of thelargest irrigation aistricts in the West.

By increasing the water supply of LosAngeles and surrounding cities, newhomes and industries will be made pos-sible. A great new source of power willpermit the opening of new mines andthe creation of new industries in Ari-zona, Nevada, and California.

To bring about this transformationwill require a dam higher than anyWhich theengineer has hitherto conceiv-ed. It is to be placed at the bottom•it Black Canyon, the walls of whichtise a\xi! 2000 feet and through whichao-m a turbulent river, at, times carry-ing a flow equal to the average of theMississippi and the Missouri at St.Louis. ■The dam is to be built in a region ofIntense heat, amid desert surroundings,and where thepublic lands, for the mostpart, are being surveyed for the firsttime. The building of the road, therailway, the tunnels, and the cofferdama will all precede the beginning ofthe great wedge, over 700 feet high,that is to close the river, i

Eeal estate speculation in the townjitehas been prohibited by the FederalGovernment, which will administer it.

COST VINDICATED

DAIRY REGULATIONS

AUSTRALIAN VIEWPOINT

"NO HALF-MEASUEES"

Eeasons for the remarkable expan-sion of New Zealand butter and cheeseexports from £4,635,576 in 1914 to

£20,338,298 in 1929, are given by Mr.A. L. Graham, a Victorian butter ex-pert, in a special report of his obser-vations during the recent tour of theDominion by Australian dairymen andfactory managers, says the "Sun-NewsPictorial.''

Details of manufacturing methods,grading, and departmental instructionsare interesting in view of the projectedreforms in Australia. These show thatno half measures are taken or expendi-ture stinted. Results vindicate strictregulations and the cost of administra-tion and instruction.

Since leaving the Foster butter fac-tory, where he was manager for someyears, and acquired an inter-State repu-tation as a buttermaker, Mr. Grahamhas. closely investigated the butter in-dustry in New Zealand, New SouthWales, and West Australia. He wasthe official representative of the SunnySouth Group of factories in the delega-tion that visited the Dominion. .

As a result of scientific methods inregard tp herds and pastures, and thereputation of the Dominioi productoverseas, the number of dairy farmersin New Zealand is increasing at thedate of about 500 a year, Mr. Grahamstates.

The number of suppliers to butterfactories total 43,153, and 12,944 tocheese factories. Apart from local con-sumption valued at £5,000,000 a year,butter exports amount to 78,904 tons ayear, whey butter 1324 tons, and cheese82,670 tons.

HIGH ORADINaS.Butter grading standards in New

Zealand are: Finest, 93 points and over;first, 90 and under 93; second, 80 and90; third, under 80. For 1928-29 sea-sol 7.25 per cent, of the gradings werefinest, 27.47 per cent, first, and 2.28 percent, under first. The average gradewas 92.77 points.

Government grading officials testevery churn for moisture at the gradingports to ensure that no butter leavesthe Dominion over the limit of 16 percent, moisture content. Fines are notinflicted, but butter with excess mois-ture is returned to the facory for re-working.

Very little isreturned, as it is deemeda severe reflection on the skill of theoperator to have any sent back, hocontinues. ' They are keen, on everydetail to ensure at least a 15.5 per cent,moisture content average.

POINTS IN MANUFACTURE.While a higher churning acidity is

sometimes adopted for the manufactureof butter consumed within the Domin-ion, the general aim is to get not morethan 0.1 per cent, acidity at churningfor export butter.

Generally two, but in some cases upto six, tipping vats are used, and thecreamis neutralised in these vats alter-natively before being flash pasteurised.Bi-carb. soda is used as a neutralisingagent, mixed in hot water from 90 deg,to 120deg. Fahr., using about two gal-lons water to a lb neutraliser.

Crystal clear, pure artesian water,with temperatures ranging from 40degto 50deg is available at all factories,and accounts for the small refrigeratingunits used. Dealing further withpasteurisation, Mr. Graham says thofloors are concrete, not tiled.. BUILDING UP QUALITY.

Salting appeared to average below1.5 per cent., and to meet overseas re-quirements the Government .is con-sidering making 1.5 per cent, minimumand 2 per cent, maximum. compulsoryunder regulations. There is also atendency to incorporate a high curdcontent, ranging from 0.7 per cent, tomore than 1 per cent., the averagebeing uearor the higher figure.

That this high curd content does notadversely affect the quality of NewZealand export butter, Mr. Grahamattributes to the cream being receivedin a sweet low-a M condition.

Because of the greater areas, vary-ing, and, in many instances, unfavour-able temperature and rainfall condi-tions, it would be difficult for Australiato attain similar uniformityas reveal-ed by New Zealand gradiugs.. Nevertheless, many in the delegationheld the view that with more effectivestandardisation of grading between theAustralian. grading ports, much couldbe done in building up quality.

This unique project is only two yearsold. It germinated in the mind of thesecretary of the Playground Associa-tion, who is known as the Shower Man.This young Pennsylvanian saw child-ren furtively loosen a fire plug and dis-port themselves in the resultant floodtill a policeman hove in sight. He im-mediately got permission from theWater and Fire Departments to attacha shower spray to a fire plug here andthere on the hot days, for children toplay "We're at the seaside" duringthe long summer vacation. . Then liepurchased1a travelling shower and fiftyfeet of hose and fitted them to a smalllorry.

On the first day, about seventychildren awaited him. Willing handsroped off the street,.allowing only do-livery drivers to pass. That was in1928. Last year 130,000 children"made whoopee" under the streetshowers in their bathing togs without asingle mishap.

The showers are distributed to tene-ment blocks, social clubs, and privateindividuals who signify their willing-ness to assume responsibility for thecare of the children. When the heatwave came, the Playground Associa-tion was "snowed under" by demandsfor more showers. They appealed tothe public for funds, which werequickly forthcoming, as tho name ofthe donor of a £3 shower is inscribedon it. Children save thoir dimes andnickels to buy their own shower, andthey label it with the name of theirown particular gang._

The Water Board gavo the associa-tion authority to use as many hydrantsas they wished. There were 300 inoperation last month, those in the tene-ment quarter operating four timesdaily. The operators are known as"Knights of the Bath.\»

The Australian Press Association'srepresentative says that because theyare such an improved side with com-plete trust in Woodfull and eachother, the Australians look forward tothe vital Test with great confidence.They hope for what England calls aheat wave. The forecast, however,gloomily indicates unsettled weather.

THE ENGLISH SIDEOMISSION OF CHAPMAN

CRITICISMS VARY

United Press Association—By Electric T«l»graph -Copyright

(Received 14th August, 10 a.m.)LONDON, 13th August.

The selection of players to attend atthe Oval for the final cricket. Testagainst Australia has caused much com-ment and the changes in the Englisheleven have boen criticised favourablyand unfavourably.

Although England was not taken com-pletely by surprise, the dropping ofChapman has occasioned a big news-paper sensation. Even those offeringcriticism have made it clear that forhis inspiration in the field alone Chap-man deserved his place. No real errorof ,-judgment can be laid against him,while his combined score of 259 inTest matches this season compares fav-ourably with those included for bats-manship alone.

MACLAREN COMMENDS.Archie Maclaren, in the "Evening

Standard," says that the SelectionCommittee should be commended ratherthan condemned. He' is pleased thatWyatt has been chosen to lead the side.

A. E. R. Gilligan, writing in -the"News-Chronicle," says: "I cannotpretend to consider that the change ofcaptain at the last moment is wise.Wyatt, whose qualities as a fighter arewell known, has not Chapman's know-ledge of Australian tactics. I am ata loss to understand why Chapman wasdropped. He has my sineerest sympa-thy."

Mr. Bennison, in the "Daily Tele-graph," writes: "There is no more in-spiring leader than Chapman, butWyatt is a more reliable batsman. Thefact that he has not an intimate know-ledge of the method of the Australiansmay tell against him."

CHANGE UNWISE.The "Daily Herald" says: "The

dropping of Chapman is most astonish-ing. We expressed the hope that therewould be no panic among the selectors,but the overthrowing of Chapman isperilously like hysteria. Viewed fromany angle the change is unwise."

P. F. Warner, in the "MorningPost," says: "The selectors carriedout a difficult task with care and fore-sight. All will pay tribute to the greatservices Chapman has rendered to Eng-lish cricket; Wyatt is one of the keen-est cricketers, and is a very sound, cool,and determined batsman."

A. W.-Carr (an ex-English captain),interviewed, said that the team wasthe best ever picked to represent Eng-land. Jack Hobbs was bound to helpWyatt out, and Whysall would be oneof the hardest men to get out.

AUSTRALIANS PLEASED.The Australian Press Association

says Woodfull's men think the Selec-tion Committee could not have donethem a better turn. The two men fear-ed most, Bobins and Voce, have notbeen chosen. They prefer to face Par-ker rather than Voce. The Austra-lians are confident of Grimmett's abil-ity to dislodge stickers like Wyatt andWhysall. Undoubtedly it looks asthough the panicky selectors have dugEngland's cricketing grave.

The fourteen players selected to bein attendance at the Oval for the fifthTest are:—

R. E. S. Wyatt (Warwickshire), cap-tain.

K. S. Duleepsinhji (Sussex).J. B. Hobbs (Surrey) (H. Sutcliffe (Yorkshire).W. H. Whysall (Notts).W. R. Hammond (Gloucestershire).M. Leyland (Yorkshire). IE. Hendren (Middlesex).C. W.L. Parker (Gloucestershire);M, W. Tate (Sussex).H. Larwood (Notts).G. Duckworth (Lancashire).I. A. R. Peebles (Middlesex).• L. Ames (Kent).

GOOD FOR THE ASHES

COMMENT IN AUSTRALIA

ENGLISH TEAM WEAKENED

SYDNEY, 13th August.M. A. Noble, commenting on the

English cricket team, said: "I do notknow Wyatt, but he will have to bosomething out of the box to do justiceto the position vacated by his famouspredecessor, Chapman. So far, Wyatthas not proved to be a world-beater,while Chapman's exclusion is inexplic-able. Parker will be a dangerousbowlor on"a worn or bad wicket, but holacks stamina. I cannot see how Lar-wood can bo excluded."

Sydney Smith, former manager ofthe Australian team, is of opinion thatEngland has got together a very strongside. "All the same, I think that Aus-tralia will return with the Ashes."

11. Carter, former Australian wicket-keeper, says: "Tho English, team isweaker than ever. It is a mistake pick-ing Wyatt, who has had very little ex-perience in big cricket."

C. Turner ,■>•! A. J. Hopkins describethe team as excellent along the lines ofsafety 'first.

British Official Wireless.

(Eeceived 14th August, 11 a.m.)RUGBY, 13th August.

In the Peshawar area British andIndian troops are continuing to driveback to the hills the Afridi tribesmenwho penetrated to the plains. Num-erous valleys and standing crops pro-vide adequate cover for small bands,who have, during their wanderings, cuttelegraph wires and sniped the out-skirts of Peshawar. These parties arebeing cleaned up while retreating tothe shelter of the hills. They foundBritish troops in unexpected strength.

Hitherto the British authorities havescrupulously observed the 'emi-inde-pendence of the tribes involved, andno aeroplanes ever flew over Tirah.Now the country has been aerially sur-veyed, and every village which sendsits men to a raid is known. These vil-lages are now being: bombed as punish-ment. Twenty-four hours' notice isinvariably given to each village beforethe 'planes arrive, and the occupantsgo into the open fields while the ma-chines destroy the defence towers andhouses. N-ews of this punishment hasreached the Afridi raiders, and has has-tened their return to the hills. As aprecautionary measure the Air Forcemachines took English women andchildren away from Parachimar, a fewmiles west of Peshawar.

BANNEDTHE CHINESE FLAG

DARWIN" EPISODE

(From "The Post's" Representative.)SYDNEY, sth August.

An "international situation" has de-veloped at Darwin, the capital of theNorthern Territory. The Civil Adminis-trator, the official who was appointedto. take the place of the Town Councilwhen the latter had a dispute with theGovernment, recently refused to givethe Chinese atDarwin permission to flytheir national flag half-mast in com-memoration of the heroes who died inthe cause of the National revolution.The flag was actually hoisted, but theorder soon went forth that it was to behauled down. The Chinese, of whomthere are manyat Darwin, were disgust-ed, and certainly felt that they hadbeen insulted. There was an indigna-tion meeting, and, judging by the babelof tongues they were not going to takeany insult lying down. Anyway, theyhave written to their Consul-General,Mr. F. T. Sung, a real champion of thecause of the Chinese in Australia, andho in turn has communicated with thePrime Minister.

"The drastic action by the Adminis-trator," says Mr. Sung in his letter toMr. Scullin, "is explained as justifi-able on the grounds that no matterwhat memorial day it may bo the onlyflag that is allowed to be flown is theUnion Jack. My nationals are incens-ed with the Civil Administrator's un-friendly act, particularly since such apractice is unheard of in any othercountry. The Chinese of NorthernAustralia are industrious and law-abid-ing citizens, and 1 feel that the actionon the part of the Civil Administratorhas unnecessarily and unwisely arousedtheir feelings. On their behalf I wishto make a strong protest against themeasure, and I would respectfully re-quest that no further interference ofthis kind be mado with the Chinese."

Explaining the new flag of the Na-tionalist Government of China, a whitesun in a blue sky in the corner and ared field, Mr. Sung said that, as in theFrench flag, tne colours denoted redfor liberty, bSue for equality, and whitefor fraternity. In addition, the threecolours also denoted the three princi-ples of the people—nationalism, demo-cracy, and livelihood. The white sun inthe corner denoted that tho Chinese Na-tionalist Party was the centre of theworld's political thought, as the sunwas the centre of the planetary system.Tho rays, twelve in number, wereequal to the hours of tho clock, anddenoted the eternity of the Chinese Na-tionalist Party. The rays of tho sunreached all parts impartially and signi-fied liberty and equality.

Holland) suggested thatthe Government should abolish thepetrol tax and take over the control ofthe distribution of petrol as a Stateenterprise. x The majority of theHouse was in favour of the proposal,and members of both the BeformParty and the United Party hadspoken in favour of such a move. TheBeform Party, wisely following thelabour Party, had made the State con-trol of petrol distribution part of itspolicy, and the Reform candidate atthe Invercargill by-election had pledg-ed himseli to the policy.

Mr. Coates: "He was not acceptedby the electors."

Miv Holland: "It was one of the rea-sons why he polled so many votes."He said that the price of petrol in Am-erica was 6d per gallon.

The Hon. E. A. Ransom (Minister ofLands): "They have a petrol war inAmerica."

OIL PROM RUSSIA -Mr. Holland: "If they are having a

petrol war, why can't some of it reachKew Zealand?" By the time petrolreached New Zealand the price wasfrom la 9d to Is lOd per gallon whole-sale. The- balance of trade with Amer-ica was loaded against New Zealand.They did not have any oil in England,but there were great oil deposits inRussia, where, they had been informed,there were five meatless days. Wecould make an arrangement with Russiato exchange meat for petrol, and thus,besides opening up a market with srreatpotentialities, we could give the peopleof the Dominion cheap petrol. Thisagreement would not upset the price of

"petrol.Mr. G. C. Munns (United, Roskill)

said he wished to point out that therewas a marked difference between theAmerican and British gallons, and inreality a British gallon f.o.b. in Am-erica cost lljd. Thus the scheme theLeader of the Labour Party proposedwas not as profitable as it seemed onthe surface. He did not want thesuggestion that enoromus profits werebeing made by the petrol companies toget abroad, as it would lead people tobelieve that the Government was notdoing its duty in the matter. Thecost of landing petrol in New Zealandwas something like Is Bd.

Mr. A. E. Ansell (Eeform, Chalm-ers) said that he was quite satisfiedthat the position as outlined by theLeader of the Labour Party was sub-stantially correct.

Mr. W. Nash (Labour, Hutt) refutedthe idea that it was costing Is 8d toland petrol in New Zealand. Theprice in Wellington was Is 9d, less onepenny a gallon discount, and- Is 7Jdif more than 800 gallons were boughtat one time. It was obvious that theoil companies were not losing money—in fact one company had made £6,000,----000 profit—and thus there was some-thing wrong with the member forKoskill's figures.

Mr. F. Langstone (Labour, Waima-irino): "It is the quantity thatcounts." (Laughter.)

SUGGESTION TO REFER BACK.At a later stage the Leader of the

Opposition moved that the ques-tion of tho petrol tax should beleferred back to the Governmentfor further consideration, with aview to the Government giving an as-surance that the money would be1 usedfor easing the burden and costs of theusers of the roads and the ratepayers.He said that there were three or fourways in which he could put his amend-ment, but the Prime Minister wouldunderstand what he meant. He wascertain that the Prime Minister couldrot accomplish what he had stated hewould. Instead of the ratepayers andthe users of the roads benefiting theywould be in a worse position.

' The Chairman of Committees (Mr. w.'A Bodkin) ruled that he could nottake the amendment during the con-sideration of the schedule. It wouldhave to be moved on the second read

Eraser asked whether the amend-ment could not be moved later whenthe clauses of the Bill were being con-eidered. . . ~Mr. Bodkin: "That is quite correct.

The Prime Minister said that it wouldhe. impossible to postpone the item ofmotor spirits. He had given a full ex-planation of the whole position. Theyhad to meet the financial position ottho Government, and if the item waspostponed it meant that the HighwaysBoard would go short and the localbodies would not obtain any relief.

"NO JUSTIFICATION."Mr. E. A. Wright (Beforin, Welling-

ton Suburbs) said there could be nojustification for such a heavy imposton the community. Bus, taxi,_ and ser-vice cars would have to be increasedand'carriers and others would be verymaterially affected. He moved:—

That the tax be reduced from 7dper gallon to 5d per gallon.

Mr. O'Brien said the tax was goingto hit every motor-lorry to the extentof 15s a week. They wore going topenalise the people they should be outto assist.

SPEAKER SENT TOR. tMr. Harris said he desired to move

a further amendment, that the dutyshould be reduced to 4d, and he moved■fhat progress should be reported inorder to ask Mr. Speaker's ruling as towhether he had the right to move hisamendment in view of the fact thatthe original petrol tax had already beenrepealed.

The motion was agreed to, and Mr.Speaker ruled that it was not in orderto move that the tax should be reducedto 4d a gallon, although it was pos-sible to move for a lesser sum than 7d.

Mr. Forbes said if the amendmentwere carried only £.150,000 would beleft for backblock roads, and thatwould be quite inadequate. The carry-ing of the amendment would not beaccepted as one of no-confidence. If theHouse decided that the petrol tax was:not to be levied, then it would have totake the responsibility.

A "COOL" STATEMENT.Mr. Coates said that the statement

made by the Leader of the House wasthe coolest thing ho had heard. Forthirty years the ratepayers' money hadbeen subsidised by the Government ofth\ country,, and now they came downto the position that the GovernmentL

would not pay these subsidies any long-er unless the House swallowed themethod suggested by the Government.

Mr. Langstone: "It is a mere baga-telle."

Mr. Coates: "Yes, it is a mere baga-telle, running into 5s or 7s 6d in thepound." The Primo Minister, withoutany "by your leave," had ruled thattho rural local bodies would have tosuffer.

Mr. Forbes: "We haven't got themoney."

Mr. Coates said that the ratepayershad been subsidised for the last thirtyyears, and now the Government wasthreatening to withdraw this aid unlessthe House agreed to tho 7d tax. Thiswas apparently part of tho Govern-ment's policy of economy. Unless theGovernment had its way the countycouncils would lose £220,000. TheGovernment was asking the House toaccept the responsibility. It was some-thing new to tax a section of the com-munity for tho general benefit.

Mr. Wilkinson said a constitutionalquestion arose. If the money was notto bo available, apparently the localbodies were not to get it, and a threatwas held out to the House. They mightas well not waste their time sitting upall night and discussing the questionof petrol tax. The Government shouldfind other ways and means of findingthe necessary money.

_The Minister of Native Aftairs (the

Hon. Sir Apirana Ngata) said the car-dii.-l fault was that Parliament twoyears ago had ear-marked a certain por-tion of the Customs revenue for admin-istration byaparticular board. This ar-rangement should now be amended sothat the users of the roads should bearthe burden in a time of financial de-pression.

Mr. C. E. Macmillan (Reform, Tau-L-anga) considered that the Governmentshould investigate the possibility of theimporters taking much of the burden ofthe petrol tax. If the Government wasnot going to take the present amend-ment as a no-confidence motion, wouldit regard the amendment to the Actproviding subsidies for local bodies asa Government measure?

Mr. E. M'Keen (Labour, WellingtonSouth) said, that the greater part ofthe duty would be I orne by the cities.What was the position of the localbodies whichhad set out on big roadingpolicies thinking they would obtain thesubsidy?

EFFECT ON UNEMPLOYMENT.Mr, Forbes said they had either to

agree to the taxation or be unable tomake the money available for back-block roads. There was nothing extra-ordinary about that proposition ; it hadbeen the case ever since ho was in poli-tics. If the money was not availableit would have a very serious effect onthe unemployment problem. It was im-perative that the Consolidated Fundshould be relieved of all possible expen-diture.

Mr. Jones said the Prime Ministerwas taking up an extraordinary atti-tude. The contributions to the High-ways Board were provided for underStatute law. If the Government couldnot find the finances to carry on therewas only one thing for it.

A Labour member: "Get out."Mr. Jones: "Tho House knows what

I mean." There were other ways ofgetting the money."PUTTING OFF THE EVIL DAY."

Mr. Barnard said that the Prime Min-ister would presently find that legisla-tion would be required for his Budgetproposals, and his Government wouldhave to stand or fall by that legisla-tion. It was only putting off the evilday. He would support the amendmentbecause he believed that the policy ofthe Government in connection withpetrol tax and roading required over-hauling, and he considered that the realintention of the amendment was a re-quest that the Government should re-model its taxation proposals.

Mr. Poison said that one of tho worstfeatures of the proposals was the retro-spective demand for interest.

"We have arrived at an extraordin-ary position," said Mr. Harris. "Hereis one of the big policy matters of thoGovernment,and when the House showsopposition to it the Prime Ministersays, 'take it or leave it.' " No self-respecting Government could hold officefor five minutes if it were defeated onone of its big policy questions. TheGovernment had to resign—there wasno question about it.

Mr.L\ M'Dougall (United, Mataura):"What did you do with the liquor Bill?Didn't you drop it?" (Laughter.)

Mr. Fletcher said that there was nonecessity to raise the extra petrol tax.There was no need io pay for tho wholeof the roading immediately. Tho roadswould last at least ten years and thepayment could be spread over a numberof years.

CLEAR POSITION.The Minister of Bailways (the Hon.

W. A. Veitch) said that the position ofthe Government was quite clear. Byeconomies and extra taxation it couldmeet the obligations of. the Consolidat-ed Fund, but, if the House refused topass the extra petrol duty, the High-ways Board would go short. The Gov-ernment's finance was not involved,only that of the Highway Board.

THE TAX REDUCED

TWOPENCE EXTRA'INSTEAD OFTHREEPENCE

When the House met this afternoon,Mr. Forbes said that since the Houserose he had been going into the matterof the petrol tax, realising that therewas strong feeling as to the amountthat was being added. He was quiteprepared to meet the House by makingthe extra duty 2d, instead of 3d. "Indoing this," said Mr. Forbes, "I wantto say that that is the fullest- extentto which the Government will go inthe matter." It had been stated byOpposition members that the petrol taxwas a policy matter on which theyshould stand or fall, and he thoughtthere was a good deal in what had beensaid. It was a matter in which theGovernment was deeply concerned. Hedid not wish the Government or him-self to remain uuder any charge ofbreach of faith. When the amendmentbefore the House reducing tho tax to5d was disposed of he intended to movea reduction in the tax from 7d to 6d.

Mr. W. D. Lysnar (Beforni, Gis-borne): "What about the backblockroads?"

Mr. Forbes said that he would en-deavour to make extra provision for thebackblock roads through the PublicWorks Fund. .

BY-ELECTION RESULT

MR. V. WARD ELECTED

Tho by-election held yesterday forthe Invercargill seat to fill the vacancycaused by tho death of Sir JosephWard resulted in tho return of his son,

Mr. Vincent Ward (United), with amajority on the first count of 492 votesover the Reform candidate, Mr. J.Hargest,

The votes polled by the two candi-dates were: —

V. Ward (United) • ■ • 4799J. Hargest (Reform) 4307

At the General Election in 192S SirJoseph Ward had a majority, includingabsent, postal, declaration, and sea-men's of 3178 votes over hisBeform opponent, Mr. S. M. Macalister,so it will be seen that on the presentoccasion tho United majority has beenconsiderably reduced.

REVIEW OF THE POLL

LIVELY PUBLIC MEETING

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

INVEECAEGILL, This DayThe decision of the-electors of Inver-

cargill lias given Mr. Vincent Ward avictory by a comfortable margin, andindicates that the long record of sup-port given to Liberalism will remain un-broken for a further period., The vot-ing was heavy, and if a comparison be-tween the number on the roll and thenumber of votes taken is an indication,the contest aroused almost as much in-terest as the poll in the 1928 GeneralElection, and the dimensions of thecrowd which awaited theposting of theresults confirmed this surmise. Mr.Ward polled moro than two to one atthe first booth to be counted, estab-lishing an early lead which was neverseriously challenged. In no sense, how-*ever,, could the voting be regarded asa walkover, for Mr. Hargest led in atleast six booths, and quite held his op-ponent in several others. The numberof absentee and postal votes is substan-tial, and there are still 689 of these tobe'eounted, but it is extremely unlikelythat they will alter the result.

SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE'SADDRESS._ Anxious bands of electors were gath-

ered in the streets all the evening, andwhen the last returns were posted up, alarge crowd flocked towards the GrandHotel, from the balcony of which thesuccessful candidate was to speak. Fully2000 people gathered around the ro-tunda to hear Mr. Hargest.

Mr. Ward said he was proud to re-present the city which was the civicand commercial centre of the great pro-vince of Southland, and which, withthe growth of the province, would be-come a still more important centre.Southland waß the■ most solid part ofthe Dominion, and his efforts in Par-liament would be directed to endeav-ouring to enhance the importance of theprovince. He would endeavour to emu-late his father. "The result of thiselection to-day testifies to the courage-ous action of Mr. Forbes and his Cabi-net in facing a difficult position in sucha plucky manner, and I am sure thatif patience is exercised by the peopleof the Dominion they will never regretit. To-night you have shown New Zea-land your appreciation of the Govern-ment's efforts to make our Dominion ahappy and prosperous country for all."

Mr. Hargest was also verywarmly re-ceived, and his sportsmanlike accept-ance of defeatwas favourably comment-ed on.

VIEWS OF LEADERS

PRIME MINISTER PLEASED

"A SPLENDID LEAD':

"I feel very gratified with the re-sult of th« Invercargill by-election forseveral reasons," said the Prime Min-ister, the Hon. G. W. Forbes, last even-ing.

"Mr. Vincent Ward's return by sosubstantial a majority enables an as-sociation with Parliament to be main-tained through the loyalty of Invercar-gill with the name of one who has ren-dered great servico to New Zealand,nnd it gives the Government tho sup-port of a member who, I am sure, willbecome a distinctive figure in theHouse. The election was fought un-der difficult conditions for tho Govern-ment candidate, because it followed soclosely oji the announcement of thetaxation increases, when the first feel-ing of natural objection had scarcelysubsided.

"Ultimately I feel sure that thepeople as a whole will realise that theGovernment's financial policy is dic-tated solely by a desire to maintainNew Zealand's credit at a high levelby methods which under the circum-stances, are the fairest and most equit-able that could bo devised. Invercar-gill has given a splendid lead in thisrespect to the whole Dominion. Ithas tala^ the reasonable view of theposition and generously given a ver-dict which will encourage the Gov-

ernment in its efforts to cope with adifficult economic position, which Ihope will soon bo relieved."

MR. COATES'S COMMENTS

"While personally congratulatingMr. Ward on his success, one cannotbe wholly disappointed with the re-sult of the poll," said the Leader ofthe Opposition, the Right Hon. J. G.Coates.

The large reduction in the UnitedParty's majority compared with theGeneral Election, when there were alsoonly two candidates, must bo regardedas a clear indication that its mana isnot improving. Of course, it could notbe held that the decision at the Inver-cargill poll would accurately reflectthe feeling of the country as a wholeon this subject. It was only to be ex-pected in the special circumstancessentiment would largely influence_ thevote. The Reform Party is satisfiedthat Mr. Hargest fought a splendidfight and we may reasonably hope thatat the next General Election Inverear-gill's verdict will be somewhat dif-ferent from that given to-day."

STATE OF PARTIESAs a result of the by-election the

state of parties in the House of Repre-sentatives is as follows:—i Reform 2S

United 25Labour 20Independent 5Country 1

Total 79There are 80 seats in the House, but

one (Western Maori) is still vacant,no by-election having been held yet tofill the vacancy caused by the death ofSir Msfui Pomare.

"POLICY ENDORSED"

UNITED PAPER'S OPINION

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

CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.In the course of an editorial the

"Christchurch Times" (United) says:"The result of the Invercargill elec-

tion is a good deal more significant thanit appears to be at first glance. Itmight be assumed that polling would beinfluenced by personal considerationsand that the issue would be decided bya fsympathy' vote given to a son ofSir Joseph Ward, but the campaignshowed that the contest would be essen-tially apolitical and not a personal one,and at times like the present we maybe quite sure that the votes of seriouselectors will not be swayed by sympa-thy. Opponents of the presont Govern-ment assuredly would not miss the op-portunity of recording their votesagainst it. Moreover, the election wastaken at a time when political feelingmight be expected to run high becausean increase of taxation is always unpo-pular, and the financial policy of theGovernment has given everyone inevery section of the community reasonto take a keen interest in polities.

"The poll was a large one for a by-election, quite as heavy as it would beat a normal General Election, and it isevident that the Reformers polled vir-tually their maximum strength. We at-tach some importance to this aspect, ofthe election, because it was the first po-pular vote on thepolicy of the new Gov-ernment, and the fact that over eightthousand votes were recorded shows de-finitely that the electors wero anxiousto give expression to their views in theonly effective way open to them. Theresult is an endorsement of the policyof the Forbes Government and theGovernment's opponents are not entit-led to regard it in any other light. Un-popular as the financial proposals of thePrime Minister are bound to be, theyhave been accepted as being wise andnecessary, and the verdict will be anencouragement to Mr. Forbes to pro-ceed with the reorganisation of thecountry's finances. Mr. Vincent Wardis to bo warmly congratulated on hissuccess."

MR. WARD'S CAREER

The second son of the late Sir JosephWard, Mr. Vincent Ward was born atBluff in 1888,and was educated at Bluffand Wellington. ;

Entering the service of the NationalBank of New Zealand at the age of17, he went to London a year later andjoined a firm of New Zealand produceimporters. Six months afterwards hebecame attached to the staff of aninsurance company, with which he re-mained for a year, and then left for theUnited States, where he was employedfor two years with the United StatesSteel Corporation. He then joined ashipping firm in Montreal, and at theage of 21 was elected a member of thecouncil of the Board of Trade.

Rejected from the Canadian forcesafter the outbreak of war owing to ill-health, he went to England and enlistedas a private in the "Devil's Own."He was again discharged as unfit, butlater joined the Eoyal Naval VolunteerKeserve, went into training at Chat-ham barracks, and was ordered to theTenth Cruiser Squadron in the NorthSea. He was'transferred to the South-end Boarding Flotilla, where he re-mained for 18 months, until a weekbefore the Armistice was declared,when he was sent by the Admiralty toNew York to the Ministry of Shippingto take charge of ships to and fromTrance and Italy. By the time he ar-rived in New York the Armistice hadbeen declared, but he remained withthe Ministry of Shipping for severalmonths before returning to New Zea-land.

On his return to New Zealand Mr.Ward joined the firm of J. G. Wardand CoM at Christchurch, remainingthere for two years when, at tho re-quest of his father, ho went to Welling-ton to act as Sir Joseph's private sec-retary, and attended to business mat-ters. When Sir Joseph Ward took officeas Prime Minister, Mr. Vincent Wardacted aa his confidential secretary, aposition which he held until SirJoseph's resignation from office.

RECENT BY-ELECTIONSTHE INVEECARGILL VERDICT

(Contributed by T.L.)Since the General Election of 1928,

owing to various causes, there have beenfour by-elections in the Dominion, viz.,Bay of Islands, Hutt, Parnell, and In-vercargil), resulting, respectively, asfollows: —The Country Party candidateretained his seat, Labour gained Huttfrom United, Parnell was captured alsofrom United, whilst Invercargill hasbeen retained by the United Party. Ofthe number of electors on the roll, ap-proximately 16 per cent, did not votein the Bay of Islands electorate, 26 percent, did not exercise their right inHutt, and 30 per cent, refrained fromvoting in Parnell electorate. On theavailable figures, 2-1 per cent, did notexercise their vote in the Invercargillcontest yesterday. Allowing for the653 absent and postal votes—equal to afurther 5 per cent.—the votes record-ed for the two candidates will be about81 per cent, of the total number of votesrecorded to the total number of elec-tors on the roll. For a by-election thisis an unusually big poll, and surpassesthe number of votes polled in severalelectorates at the last General Elec-tion.

The roll for yesterday's by-election

closed with 11,959 names, 421 less thanat tho General Election. Of those Mr.Vincent- Ward (United) received 4799and Mr. Hargest (Reform) 4307; theformer polling 40 per cent, and the Re-form candidate 36 per cent, of the elec-tors on the roll. The absent and postalvotes will, of course, alter the latterfigures, but meantime both candidatescan be congratulated on having polledexceptionally well for a by-election.

When a candidate for tho same seatat the General Election in 1925 (omit-ting the absent votes) Mr. Hargestpolled 4509 votes, or 202 in excess ofyesterday, whilst on the same occasion,Sir Joseph Ward polled 4638, or IGI lessthan Mr. Vincent Ward at yesterday'spoll.

luvercargill electors for many yearshave polled heavily at Parliamentaryelections, as evidenced by the fact thatin 1925 and 1928 over 93 per cent, ofelectors on the roll recorded theirvotes, and in that respect held the thirdhighest place in the 76 European elec-torates.

On the figures available at tho mo-ment, Mr. Ward has a majority of 492over Mr. Hargest, and when the finalfigures are ascertained it is highly pro-bable there will not be any materialalteration.

To the victor in yesterday's contesthearty congratulations may be extend-ed. He had many obstacles to face: abig "debit" Budget, increased taxa-tion, and inexperience as a platformspeaker. Yet, at 14 of the 20 pollingbooths he secured a majority. The re-turn of Mr. Ward will doubtless be ex-tremely gratifying to Mr. Forbes andhis party, by whom the victory will beacclaimed as evidence of satisfactionwith the policy of the present Govern-ment. Similarly, the defeat of theirnominee will probably not alter theclaims of Mr. Coates and his party of"a definite swing of the pendulum ofpublic support toward Reform." Bethat as it may, the general opinion isthat the new member for Invercargillwill in every way prove himself worthyof the confidence reposed in him.-

(To the Editor.)Sir,*—ln connection with the Inver-

cargill by-election, which has resultedin the return of Mr. Vincent Ward, theUnited candidate, by close on 500 votesin a straight-out contest with thestrongest Reform candidate available,may I point out that Colonel Hargestdid not contest the 1928 election, whenthe late Sir Joseph Ward secured hisbig majority of 3178 votes. It was Mr.Macalister (one of Colonel Hargest'smost prominent supporters in the pre-sent contest) who then stood in the Re-form interest. He was admittedly aweak candidate opposed to a greatstatesman, and suffered in consequence."In 1925, when Colonel Hargest opposedSir Joseph, the Reform vote in Inver-cargill was 4796, while 4957 voted forthe veteran leader. Thus, in the con-test in which Colonel Hargest was theReform candidate, the difference wasonly 159. Now, in 1930, when ColonelHargest again seeks the support on be-half of Reform, ho polls 4307 votes, andis defeated by Mr. Vincent Ward by492 votes—a majority three times great-er than his father scored over ColonelHargest, when the latter previously of-fered himself as candidate in the Re-form interest. Comment is superfluous.—I am, etc.,

FACTS.

From 1899 to 1925, when he retiredto reside in Dunedin, the Hon. J. A.Hanan held the Invercargill seat con-tinuously as a Liberal-Radical, beingreturned by large majorities.

HOLDING OFF

A BUTTER SHIPMENT

POSITION IN AMERICA

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

AUCKLAND, This Day.An arrangement whereby the motor-

ship Limerick was to load butter atAuckland shortly for Halifax, as wellas for London has been cancelled. Ten-tative reservation of space on thesteamer for 20,000 boxes of butter, ef-fected through the Dairy ProduceBoard, has also been withdrawn. Thereason for this action appears to bethat, while several exporting interestsare hopeful, even sanguine, that asevere drought i America will lead toa demand for New Zealand butter, theimmediate outlook is too uncertain towarrant tho suggested shipment.

The proposal was to ship the butterunder an optional bill of lading foreither Halifax or London in expecta-tion that moro would be known by thetime the Limerick reached Panama.However, a computation made yester-day showed that the current Montrealprice was equivalent to only ls.l 3-8dper Ib, f.o.b. Auckland, and in view ofthe fact that abnormally large stockswere reported a few days ago tobe heldin both Canada and the United Statesit wa» decided not to go ahead withthe plan.

A leading exporter said that• Can-adian interests were probably holdingoft" because they did not know whatsteps might be taken by the UnitedStates to control the.prices of importedand home-grown foodstuffs in view ofthe drought. . They, therefore, couldnot tell what price they could afford topay for New Zealand butter. On theother hand it seemed likely that Can-adian wheat speculators would now dovery well out of the crop being held instore, and this should inerase the coun-try's buying power. The market inCanada would be well worth havingbecause the London price to-day wasnot equal to Is Id, and showed, noreal prospect of rising.

Developments in North America inthe next week or so, he said, would bewatched with very great interest.

"TOO PREVALENT"

STOWAWAYS ON SHIPS

''This kind of thing is getting too pre-valent, and is nothing but a worry to theshipowners and the crew," said CaptainJames Geere Watson, master of the Wai-kouaiti, in the Magistrate's Court to-day,before Mr. E. Page, S.M., when JamesAlexander Kellj', confectioner, aged 33,Raymond Bernard Orrell, labourer, aged26, and James Watson, labourer, aged 19,were charged with stowing away ou boardthe Waikouaiti at Newcastle.

Eacli of the accused was convicted andfined £5, and ordered to pay the amountof the fare, £7 10s, in default one month'simprisonment.

Captain Watson told the Magistratethat after the vessel had left Sydney hehad to return to port to land anotherstowaway, hud it was after the boat hadcleared the heads again that tho threeaccused were found.

"Wo are always searching the ship forthem, but we are living on a volcano thewhole time," said Captain Watson.

Sub-Inspector Lopdell said that the ac-cused had been out of work in Australiaand came to New Zealand in the hopesof finding employment.

ENGLAND AND'AMERICAv A few days ago the City Valuer, Mr.F. N. Martin, was asked by a "Post"reporter if he could give some idea, ina general way, of the application of thebetterment principle in Wellington.To-day Mr. Martin supplied some notesrather on the historical side, sayingthat he could not at the present timediscuss those aspects which wererather matters of policy. , Mr. Martinparticularly stressed that betterment isanything but a new idea.

His statement is as follows:—When plans were prepared by Sir

Christopher Wren and Sir John Eve-lyn for tho restoration of the City ofLondon from Temple.Bar to the Towerafter the Great Fire in 1666, providingseveral parallel lines of streets fromeast to west, all of them of greaterwidth than Cheapside at the presenttime, the perverse self-interest of thecitizens caused them to be set aside.These individual interests were power-ful enough from that time onwards tothwart any comprehensive scheme forimprovement. Select Committees ap-pointed by Parliament in 1798, 1799,1800, 1801, 1808", .1809, 1810, 1817,

1820, and 1821 had reported on par-ticular improvements, but between theyears 1832 and 1851 tho necessity forstreet improvements was so fully re-cognised by Parliament that someeleven or twelve Select Committeeswere appointed to consider plans fortho improvement of the metropolis,and to advise as to the best means ofcarrying them out. Very few of theseschemes were undertaken owing to thedifficulty of obtaining a convenientsource of revenue from which to paythe cost of tho works.

The Metropolitan Board of Workswas constituted in 1855, and from thatdate until it ceased to exist in 1889it had constantly in hand extendedworks providing new and improvedmeans of access from one part of thecity to anotheT.

THIRTY-SIX YEARS AGO.In 1860 a proposal was made that

owners of property should bear partof the cost of permanent improvementsby which their property was much in-creased in value, and was as usualstrongly resisted. The powers, duties,and liabilities of the MetropolitanBoard of Works were transferred totho London County Council by theLocal Government Act (England andWales), 1888, and the principle of animprovement charge was adopted bythe council in November, 1889. Strenu-ous opposition, however, preventedstatutory approval being given to theprinciple until July, 1895. Then as aresult of the setting up oi a SelectCommittee nominated by the House ofLords on 29th May, 1894, "to considerand report whether in the case of im-provements sanctioned by Parliamentand effected by the expenditure ofpublic funds, persons, the value ofwhose property is clearly increased byan improvement, can be equitably re-quired to contribute to the costs of theimprovement, etc.," and the report ofthat committee as a result of hearingevidence from 28th May to 10th July,recognising the principle . of better-ment, it passed into law. (LondonCounty Council (Tower Bridge South-ern Approach) Act, 1895, Section 36.)

The French law of 1807 provides forthe eolleeion of local benefits due topublic works or their deduction fromthe compensation to be paid for landtaken for such works. Similar provi-sions are to be found in general ex-pro-priation laws of various German States,Belgium, Canada, and tho UnitedStates.

THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES.Local assessment is based on the

principle that the land-owner should re-pay the special benefit he derives froma public work. He should certainlypay to the extent of that gain or otherratepayers will be compelled to pay fora portion of the benefit which he hasreceived.

Nelson P. Lewis, chief engineer ofthe Board of Estimate and Apportion-ment, New York City, in proceedingsof the Fourth National Conference oncity planning, page 45, says:—

"One principle should be invariablyrecognised, namely, where there is localbenefit there should be local assess-ment. There can be no improvementwhich has been intelligently plannedand executed which will not result insome local benefit, and it follows thatthere always should be some local as-sessment. No improvements, howeversmall or -however large, will be of equalbenefit to the entire- city, and to dis-tribute the burden of paying for itover the whole city according to tax-able values is unfair in that it is notplaced according to benefit."

In this connection it is informativeto quote a report of the City Club ofNew York mentioned with approval bythe Federal Electric Railways Commis-sion in its report to the president in1920.—

"The City Club of New York sev-eral years ago showed that as a resultof the building of the- first rapidtransit subway in New York the actualland values in those portions of UpperManhattan and the Bronx which weremost directly affected were within sevenyears increased 80,500,000 dollars abovethe normal increase for that period.The cost of that part of the subwaypassing through the districts wherethis rise in values took1 place wasabout 13,000,000 dollars, while the costof the entire subway from the Bat-tery north was 43,000,000 dollars. Itis quite evident that if the 13,000,000dollars which was spent on that partof the subway traversing the districtso notably benefited had been assesseddirectly upon the property, its ownerswould still have netted a neat profit 'ofsome 07,500.000 dollars, while had thecost of the entire subwa3' been assessedupon the same limited district the netprofit to the landowners would havebeen 37,500,000 dollars. Was it quitefair that property in different'parts ofthe city, entirely unaffected by thisgreat' project, should bear the sameproportion of the burden as that whichwas so conspicuosuly advantaged."

THE BUYER'S PROFIT.In his work on the "Planning of the

Modern City," referring to the theorythat it is the right of the city to takefor itself a part of the unearned incre-ment or the increase in value ofprop-erty which has been brought aboutthrough no act of the owner, Lewisquotes the following pertinent case:

"In a large city in the United Statesit became necessary to increase thewidth of a certain street from 50 to SOfeet, and to accomplish this.a strip 30feet in width was taken from theproperty on one side of the street forthe entire distance, reducing the depthof the lots on this side from 100 to 70feet. One particular lot, 20 feet inwidth, with an old three-story brickhouse on it, was bought just before thewidening by a man who habituallykept himself well informed concerningcontemplated improvements, the pricepaid being 11,000 dollars.

"Ho was awarded 10,000 dollars ascompensation for the destruction of thohouse and for damage to the lot owingto the decrease in its depth; but sogreatly did the widening of the streetincrease the value of tho abuttingproperty that within a few months he

|sold the remnant, a lot.but70 feet deep

with no building on it, for 12,000 dol-lars, or 1000 dollars more than the costto him a few months earlier of the fulldepth lot and house, besides havingbeen paid damages to the amount of10,000 dollars. Tho city to finance thisimprovement was obliged.to borrow thesum of 2,022,700 dollars for a term ofthirty years. The municipal authori-ties had determined to assess upon theneighbouring properties one-third ofthe cost of improvements, but therewere vigorous protests against the in-justice of such a procedure, and by amandatory legislative Act the entirecost was thrown back upon the muni-cipal treasury."WIDELY RECOGNISED PRINCIPLE,

The justice and expediency of col-lecting betterment by special assess-ment on the land specially benefited iswidely recognised all the world over.Two judicial pronouncements are of in-terest in this connection.

"There is a justice in this arrange-ment which commends itself to anyright-thinking man, but the injusticeof assessing property all over a cityfor the improvement of a single streetmust be apparent at a glance.""I concede that the system of local

assessment is liable to abuse, for whichreason Courts should scrutinise its ap-plication with care and also see thatan equitable share of the burdenshould be borne by the public; but itwill be readily forseen that if thewhole local charge for local improve-ments is to be borne by the city treas-ury grievous abuses might be prac-tised upon the inhabitants generally tosubserve the local interests of design-ing men holding property in a particu-lar neighbourhood."

BUILDING LIKE TOO SLOW.The provision of a building line by-

law for effecting the widening of astreet, especially where quick transithas to be provided for, is too slow inits action. In Manchester it tookthirty years to widen Church street,between High street and Tib streetfrom 42ft to 60ft and Brown street atits junction with King street from 20ftBin to 36ft 3in.

Excess condemnation rarely resultsin a profit being made; in fact, in onlyone case in London did a financial gainaccrue from the taking of land, andthat was in the case of Northumber-land avenue, which was cut throughfrom Trafalgar Square to the ThamesEmbankment. Special circumstances jin this case resulted in a profit ofnearly £120,000.

It is quite true that if funds wereavailable to carry out an entire schemeof improvement at once, excess con-demnation might conceivably in a fewinstances result in a profit, but wherenot only freeholds but leaseholds andtenancies have to be compensated for,no possibility of profit from the under-taking can arise. Piecemeal prosecu-tion of the- work only results in in-creased prices having to be paid in thenext section undertaken.

Thus far our experience conformswith the experience of cities in otherparts of the world, Mr. Martin's state-ment concluded, and for the same rea-sons which actuated them in pressingfor the right to make special assess-ments, we now find it necessary to pro-mote legislation vesting the City Cor-poration with the same powers. Tha_tcertain property owners have previ-ously, through the carrying out of pub-lic improvements, profited at the ex-pense of the general body of ratepay-ers is no sound reason why othersshould fatten through a continuation ofan experience that has proved to be_ anirrational and essentially unfair policy.

BUILDING TRADE

WORKERS' DEMANDS

THE COST OF LIVING

The hearing of the application.of theBuilders' and Labourers' Union for anew award, including an increase inpay and improved conditions, was re-sumed in the Arbitration Court to-day.

Mr. P. M." Butler appeared for theworkers' union, and Mr. "W. J. Mount-joy for the employers.

Concluding his case on behalf of theworkers' union, Mr. Butler contendedthat the 1924 standard was inadequate,and the award based on that, standardwas more inadequate to-day. Thewagesof labourers had not increased with thegreat increase in cost of living. Thecasual nature of much of the labourers'work should be taken into account.Evidence had been giver on behalf ofthe union which showed that the ordin-ary rates of pay of builders' labourerswere not sufficient to maintain a familyin fair comfort.

Mr. Mountjoy said the employersasked for a inewal of the existingaward. He* inaintainted that the em-ployees had failed to substantiate theirclaims. No evidence had been,givento show that 4s 2d, the amount allowedin the existing award for a worker oncountry work, was insufficient. Noevidence had been given to support theclaim for work done 20 feet above theground. There had been no proofgiven that living and other conditionshad altered to such an'extent as towarrant the increase in pay asked for.

The demands of the workers werethen dealt with at length. It was as-serted that when the present awardwas made the cost of living was higherthan now, and house rents had fallenconsiderably since. In Wellingtongroceries were cheaper now than in1926; boots and shoes had fallen inprice; in fact, there had been a gen-eral fall in prices. The request forwhat amounted to compulsory unionismwas strongly .opposed. In times offinancial stringency, price-cutting,economy, and unemployment, it wouldbe particularly undesirable to agree toshorter hours and increases in wages.Industries to-day were struggling underthe burden of slack times and increasedtaxation, which were making conditionsvery difficult for employers.

UNLICENSED LIQUOR

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day

Reserved judgment was delivered bythe Magistrate, Mr. Tate, this morn-ing in a case in ■which R. Uncles, ofFitzroy, was fined £10 on a chargethat, not being licensed, he sold threebottles of beer to Andrew Hanson. Hewas fined £5 on a second charge ofmanufacturing wine for sale without alicence. The smaller penalty was be-cause much confusion existed as to thelegal requirement of a licence to makewine for sale from parts of plants otherthan fruit, such as the parsnip, rhu-barb, or beetroot. The defendant wasordered to pay costs, and the liquorand containers were forfeited.

An appeal is possible on the groundthat Uncles was not proved to be theoccupier of the premises.

ECONO-POLITICS

AUSTRALIAN FRUITS 1DE-POLITICALISE OR SELL!

PLIGHT OF EAILWATS

Nationalisation is being tested inAustralia under slump conditions-such slump conditions as have notexisted in the Commonwealth sine. th»banks underwent their acid test in theearly 'nineties,

In the 'nineties the banks wer«found to b© loaded up with non-liquid,below-value assets. The railways ar«in exactly the same position to-day.

The main difference ia that the swol-len, hollow condition of railway capi-tal accounts has long been known tothe man ofto-day, but the condition ofthe banks in the 'nineties came tdmost people as a surprise. Also, to-day it is everybody's money that iibeing lost, and that does not seem tomatter. But in the 'nineties privatefortunes and savings w-ere being IO3UAnd that mattered a lot.

IxOW POLITICS GIVES^ THEWORKER WAGE-CONTROL.

As the railways have made no pre-tence of attending to depreciation, etc.,no one expects their accounts in slumptime to be in anything else than amess. The mess, however, may rousepublic attention sufficiently to getsomething done, in the way of sellingthe railways or de-politicalising them;in the way of overhauling similarlyall Government business departments;and in the way of checking the driftwhich is putting a, huge section of thepeople into Government employ, witipolitical power to maintain their nom-inal wages at an impossible level:

In the Melbourne "Herald" Mr.Harold Burston advocates "a thorough,stocktaking of all the Commonwealth'scapital assets, to enable the problemof lost loan capital to be effecuvelymet in the future. The huge internal,undisclosed losses on railways (dv«mainly to unprovided depreciation) andon settlement schemes must be giveaattention. The capacity! of Australiato retrieve its position is not in anydoubt, provided waste and extrava-gance are eliminated, and' a sound leadis given to the community by the com-plete reform that is so urgently re-quired in.every section of Governmentfinance. The foundations for futureprosperity are intact."EVERYBODY'S FINGER IN THE

PIE.Under the heading of "228,000 Pub-

li-. Servants," Mr. Burston writes:—"The importance of wage and salary:

reductions i3 illustrated by the strengthof the Civil Service, and by the magni-tude of business undertakings conduct-ed by Governments. Excluding tem-porary employees ■ (excepting in ' rail-ways), part-time officers, naval andmilitary employees, and those engagedin State trading enterprises, the latestfigures reveal a total of 22-,000 Civilservants. The size of Government pay-rolls is indicated by the calculation thatan average fall by 5s a week in wage*wouldamount to nearly an-nually.

"The railways are the largest ofnational undertakings. They account,for 137,300 of the total of 228,000 Civilservants, and nearly 37 per cent, ofaggregate State expenditures is ab-sorbed by railway working expenses.Including Commonwealth systems, an-nual operating costs, apart from in-terest or sinking fund charges, hay«increased from 30J millions to mor«than 3Si millions only since 1924.

"The railways constitute the great-est single problem in the nationalworking accounts, and their, position i»so serious as to require separate, de-tailed review."

MORE NEW LINES TO MAKEMORE LOSSES.

Can New Zealand dodge the follow-ing arrow shot at over-capitalised rail-ways:—

The effect of adequate deprecia-tion not having been provided haibeen a very serious over-capitalisa-tion of the undertakings, which hasbeen aggravated by the constructiou.of new unpayable lines . . . .out.ofcostly loan funds.

During the dear money .period (from1914 onward) the capital cost of Aus-tralian railways increased by over140 millions—by over 70 per cent.

Australian railways have beec earn-ing £3 3s 5d per cent., which is £111s 9d per cent, less than the cost oftheir capital, and they have been abl«to do that only by neglecting to pro-vide for depreciation. And the losse*in sight are greatei still.

Unless "effective remedi " (includ-ing the "closing .of numerous unpay-abl lines" and "attack on all costsV);are "rapidlyapplied, the railways drift,accentuated by the growth of competi-tive motor transport, must end incatastrophe. . .'.. . More than anythingelse, the railways require an early sub-stantial fall in the cost of living, toenable wages to be adjusted to ■ newlevels. Curtailment of services andretrenchment of employees, who in-creased from 91,835 to 112,195 in teayears, and jvithdrawal of concessionsin working conditions, are the only al-ternatives dictated by the existing im-possible financial position. . . . Hug*costs have been incurred by faulty ad-ministration dictated by political ex-pediency. '-'^^^^^^^^^ l̂_

STRONG PROTEST"WILFUL OBSTRUCTION"

PRIME MINISTER ACTS

DEPARTURE ARRANGEMENTSSUSPENDED

- : A protest against what he allegedamounted to deliberate obstructionof his taxation proposals was madein the House of Representativesthis afternoon by the Prime Min-ister (the Hon. G. W> F.orbes). Hesaid that he did not wish to go tothe Imperial Conference unless hecoujd leave knowing that the pro-posals had been put! through.

Mr. Forbes said iliat during the pro-gress,' of the debate on the Bill,he hadtried" to exorcise as much patience asli.c CQUId as Leader of the House, butafter! the adjournment this morning,hohad felt he was not getting that assist-ance for facilitating the business ofthe House which he had been led to ex-pect. Mr. Forbes referred to thelengthy' discussion on the introductionof the Bill which had lasted for ninehours,( and also to the protracted pro-ceedings yesterday. It seemed to himto "be obstruction that was deliberateand arranged. He had been led toexpect different treatment, but at lastnight's, sitting he had been obliged tolisten to cheap sneefs from members ofthe Keform Party in regard to his tripto the Imperial Conference. It wasno desire of his to go to the ImperialConference in circumstances like those.

,Ho had agreed to go, recognising theimportance of the conference, but hedid not desire as Prime' Minister toleave the country in the difficult finan-cial position it was in at present.; Hehad been told, that he could expectassistance from"the Leader of the Oppo-sition, but he thought he had a rightto "complain. He. had nothing to sayabout the Leader of the Labour Party.The challenge had been made this morn-ing, that the Government was runningaway from its responsibilities, and waßnot prepared to stand behind'its legis-lation. "I felt that I could not retainmy self-respect, and "that I could not jgo to the Conference in circumstances Ilike those," said Mr. Forbes. "I havetherefore given orders for the suspen- jsion- of arrangements for my departureuntil such time as the financial measuresI am responsible fox, and which, Ithink, are in the best interests of thopeople* has been, passed. I am veryiauch disappointed at the treatment Ihave hadfrom one party in the House."

MR. COATES SURPRISED.The Leader of the Opposition (the

Eight Hon, J, G. Coates) said that hehad been surprised at the speech justmade by the Leader of the House, andit hadbeen difficult to understand thereason' for the attitude of the PrimeMinister. He defiedthe Prime Ministerto'say that anything had been done toprevent him from going to the ImperialConference, If he looked up the re-cords he would find that more membersof the Labour Party hadvspoken thanReformers. It was obvious that thePrime Minister had not given carefulthought to his words.

Mr. Forbes: "I knqw what has beengoing on."

Mr. Coates: "Then the honourablegentleman must know morethananyoneelse." Did the Prime Minister pro-pose that his proposals should be treat-ed as the final word as to how? the'people were to be taxed, and was he pro-pared to allow expressions of opinion?• ■ Mt;'-. -Forbes:-.-,' 'We- have jjeen ,ninehours on-the short title." : -Mr. Coates said that every amend-ment moved had been, the result ofdefinite opinions of members of theHouse. Every member had the rightto speak on such an important Bill. He'himself did not speak until the schedulehad come down. The proposals broughtforward by the Prime Minister werefar-reaching and very important; andthe Prime Minister himself knew thatCustoms Bills in the past had taken aslong-as two weeks. This was a smallBill,but it covered practically the wholeof the tariff. He promised that hisparty .would sit there until they putthe Bill through in a form acceptableto-them. The Prime' Minister had re-ferred to the Labour Party, and hedid not complain. The hon. gentle-man had the right to say what hethought.■■''Mr. Forbes: "Is there not a sus-picion of tedious repetition?"

Sir. Coates: "That is for the Chair-man (of Committees to decide." Hehad asked Ma colleagues, not to con-tinue any longer, but some of them hadregarded the Bill as so important thatthey had replied "No." He couldonly characterise the Prime Minister'sremarks as uncalled for. It was theright of every party and every mem-ber to" express definite opinions. Thiswas part of the British Constitutionthat they had fought for. The hon.gentleman had mistaken the positionas far as the Opposition was concerned.There had been neither obstruction norrepetition. The Government had placeda policy before the House. It was animportant policy which was designed toalter a previous policy. He would askthe Prime Minister whether he wouldconsider the points he was now aboutto raise. The subsidy on rates hadbeen paid for the last 30 years. Theburden of the petrol tax would be asevere one, and he asked that whereit was /found that the ratepayer waapaying far more than hs was justly en-titled to, would thePrime Minister con-sider giving him some form of relief.He knew that the Government couldnot have legislation to this effect readyto-day, but he asked that such a policybe given consideration. This idea seem-ed more reasonable and much fairer. Hedid riot wish to appear stiff-necked ordiffident about the whole position, anddid not wish that the Prime Ministershould account for every penny to theHouse. He was s"orry that the hon.gentleman had made the speech, but itwould be forgotten as far as his sideof the House was concerned.

TheLeader of theLabour Party (Mr.Hi E. Holland) said he was much con-cerned about the position, as there wasa point of honour involved. He per-sonally thought the Prime Minister hadsome reason' to complain. So far as theLabour Party was concerned a de-finite assurance had been given that itwould be possible for Mr. Forbes to at-tend the Imperial Conference, and thatpromise would be kept. Already fourdays of the fortnight had gone, andonly.the first item of the legislative pro-gramme had yet been considered at-all.He suggested that' the three partiesahould come together in an effort toarrive at a businesslike arrangement.

MUCH TRAVELLEDVISITING PROFESSOR

INDIA AND RUSSIA

VIEWS ON THE SOVIET

Visiting Wellington at present aspart of a short stay in the Dominionis Dr. Michael Dorizas, who is Profes-sor of Geography at the University ofPennsylvania. Dr. Dorizas is a Greekby birth, but tho United States isnow his adopted home. He went thereas a youngman to complete his studies,and there he has remained ever since,except for periods o£ world travel,"learning practical geography," as hecalls' it. j

The present is his third round-the-world trip, and it has embraced Bus-sia, Siberia, Japan, Korea, Manchuria,China, the Philippines, ludo-China, theMalay States, Siam, the Dutch EastIndies, Ceylon, India, Irak' Syria,Palestine, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Cen-tral.Europe, the Belgian Congo, Cen-tral 'and South Africa, Australia, andNew Zealand. He regrets that so littletime can be spent in the Dominion, buthopes to return again. He will beseeing something of the North Islandbefore returning to the United States.Brain and muscle are happily com-bined in Dr. Dorizas. He made aworld's record javelin throw when only18, has taken part in three Olympiads,and at one time held the strength re-cord for American universities.NOTHING TO FEAR FROM INDIA.

Of practically any country Dr.Dorizas can talk most interestingly. A"Post" representative tied him downChiefly to two, two that figure promin-ently in the daily cable news, Indiaand Russia. England, he. thinks, hasnot very,much to fear from the out-come of present events in India. Theseventy million Mohammedans do notthink of India as their i home, andwould therefore not co-operate withHindus if Home Eulo was granted.Then there were the native rulers,with their seventy million Hindu sub-jects, Britain's best friends, who fortheir own sakes did not wantHome Bule, added to whom were an-other 50 or 60 mill-ton "untouchables"who found British rule their only pro-tection. From Hindu rule these lattercould expect nothing. It was only Bri-tish rule that kept the swarms of hilltribes in check, and this tho Indiansknew. "The vast bulk of the peopledon't care," remarked the Professor."It is chiefly a few loud-voiced politi-cians who want, command of the pursestrings who make all the trouble."

SOVIET A FAILURE, oWhen talking about Bussia, Dr.

Dorizas said .that Soviet rule had beena failure, 'although there wore severalthings which cQuld be -said in its fav-our. One had to remember that Russia,when the Bolshevists took charge, was300 years behind the rest of Europe. Atthe' present time in some ways the lotof the working man was not as bad assometimes painted, but Russia was noplace for "intelligonts."' Morewas be-ingread in Russia than ever before, butas it was all Communistic literature theresult was not good. The Communistsnumbered about one and a half millionout of a total population of' about 150million. Of the 100 million or so peas-ants,- only .55 thousand were admittedas members of tho Communist Party. .

There was illusion about Communisticeffort, said the Professor, and it founditself unable to compete with the out-side world. Many of the Communistshad really high ideals as saviours ofmankind, but he thought that Russiawould eventually come back to capital-ism. At present they were an .island ina surrounding sea of capitalism, andlived in fear of a concerted- attack bycapitalistic countries. Hence the armyandother warlike preparations.

MAGISTRATE'S,, PROPHECY

Interesting comment on the decreasein crime and the growing function oflawyers as arbitrators was.made by Mr.W. H.'^oodward, S.M., at the openingof the Courthouse at Upper Hutt yester-day. ' . .

It had "been suggested, ho said, thatthe Court was too small. Indeed, he hadheard it said that there was "notenough room to swing,acat in it." Nowthe only cat the law'had cognisance^ofwas the eat-o '-nine-tails—(laughter)—and modern methods of dealing with\,crinie had practically • abolished theneed for that. He considered it' rathera matter for congratulation that onlya small building was thought to beneeded. If they could sec this well-fav-oured valley ahundred years hence theywould find that the Court had still suf-ficient accommodation for ,tho work tobe done.. He thought this for two, rea-sons. Firstly, crime in the countrywas decreasing and would contjnue, todecrease, owing to better and sanermethods of dealing with juvenileoffenders. Consequently the Courtwouldbe less used in proportion to thepopulation than it was now. Secondly,he Relieved that the lawyers would be-come the arbitrators of the country andin time supersede to a large extent theMagistracy. As long as the Bar main-tained its present reputation for in-tegrity, magnanimity, wisdom, and im-partiality people would content, to

submit their differences to lawyers.Thsy were destined to become what SirJohn Salmond had called them, "thenatural aristocracy of the community."

DEATH OF MRS. J. ILOTTIn the death of Mrs. Ilott, who

passed 'away at her residence, 24,Buller street, this morning, Wellingtonhas lost a lady whose quiet, unosten-tatious charity and .warm sympathy inthe cause of the needy and afflicted hadendeared her to a wide circle offriends.Despite a long andpainful illness, whichhad confined her to her homo for severalyears, her wide readirig and broad cul-turo kept her closely in touch with mod-ern movements and modern thought.

Mrs. Ilott was the daughter of thelate Mr. \V. H. Baldwin, a well-knownIrish landowner. She was marriedto thelate Mr. John Ilott in England in 1882,and shortly afterwards came to NewZealand, and she and her husband madetheir'first homo at To Arolia. In 1892sho came to Wellington, and togetherwith her husband took a great interestin all good works, being particularlyinterested in the welfare of young■people. Mrs. Ilott was closely associat-ed with the work of the Y.W.C.A. andof the V.M.C.A., serving on the com-mitteo of both of those institutions.Shewas a past-president of the Ladies'Auxiliary of tho V.M.C.A., and was ofconsiderable service to that institution.For many years she was closely con-nected with The Terrace CongregationalChurch, and liberally supported itsmany activities, as well as thoso of theCongregational body throughout NewZealand. A liberal and keen mind andher wide sympathies made her greatlybeloved by all who knew her.

Mrs. Ilott is survived by her son, Mr.J. M. A. Ilott, and a sister, Miss K.Baldwin. \

The funeral will leave tho residence,Buller street, to-morrow afternoon, at2.30 o'clock..

The British football team was fare-welled on behalf of the Government ata pleasant function in the social roomat Parliament House this morning. Themanager and the captain of the teamwere presented by the Prime Ministerwith bound volumes of scenic views ofthe Dominion, as a memento of theirvisit.

The Prime Minister (the Hon. G. W.F.orbes) said that when the team cameto New Zealand they were certain of awarm welcome, and they must havebeen surprised at the enthusiasm withwhich they had been greeted fromNorth Cape to the Bluff. Those whoplaj'ed the game were always sure of agood welcome and friendly greetings

they went throughout thiscountry. Mr. Forbes said the peoplewere indebted to visits such as that oftho British team, for it enabled themto see the splendid sportsmanship thatwas characteristic of the British race,and which had been so marked rightthroughout the tour. The sporting wayin which-the team had taken both theirwins and their losses had made a fineimpression. After all, football wasonly a game, and what told more thanwins or points, scored was the mannerin which it was played. Their friendsof the British football team had showna true sporting spirit. He felt sure theNew Zealand players had also been in-spired by the same spirit, and that theyhad left the field with feelings of thegreatest admirationfor- their opponents.Mr. Forbes expressed pleasure to havehad the opportunity of meeting themembers of the team, and assuredthem that they would leave behindthem a reputation) they might feelproud' of. (Hear,: hear.) They wouldalso leave behind a host of friends, whowould follow their future movementswith special interest. In making thepresentations, Mrl Forbes extended tothe team best wishes for a fine trip toAustralia, good games, and a safe re-turn home. , ,

AN EMPIRE NOTE.Beturning thanks, the. manager of the

team, Mr. James Baxter, said that part-ings were always rather sorrowful.From the first moment of their landing-in New Zealand they had been receivedwith spontaneous bursts of welcome.Tho people seemed to take them intotheir hearts'''from the word 'go.''?Speaking of the friendships formed inthe course of the visit, Mr. Baxter saidthey left with considerable regret. Sofar as football was concerned, hadlearned many things, and he hoped NewZealanders had' learned the betterthings from,the members of'the team.There was no question that the morethe people of the Empire intermingledand exchanged ideas and got to likeeach other the better it was for all con-cerned, and for tho Empire in particu-lar. (Hear, hear.) If in their shortvisit they had done anything to helptowards that end they were veryproud.They would return to the Homelandwith very happy thoughts of New Zea-land. . ■,

' > PART OF THEIR HEARTS. ■The captain, Mr. F. D. Prentice, saidthey were'a rather sad little party onthe eve of their departure. They hadhad a wonderful time, and honestly feltvery much their departure from thisbeautiful country. • They had tried toplay the game, both on and off thefield, and he thought they had succeedscd. (Hear, hear.) It did ndt'matterwhether they had won the matches; theprincipal' thing was that they playedthe game off the field. "Most of us areleaving a good deal: of, our hearts be-hind," he said, in conclusion.

SPLENDID RECORD

POINTS SCORED ON TOUR

(By, "Drop-Kick.'')During its tour of New Zealand the

British Eugby football team, which,leaves for Australia to-morrow, playedtwenty-one matches, of which fifteenwere won and six lost. The losses in-cluded'three of the four Tests withNew Zealand. In all games the visi-tors compiled a total of 420 points atthe excellent average of 20 points pergame. The points; / scored againstthem on tour totalled 205.- The Bri-tish team's aggregate was made up asfollows:—Tries 82, goals from tries56, penalty goals 18, field ("potted")goals 2. Scores registered against thevisitors were: Tries 39, goals from tries17, penalty goals 12, "potted" goals 3,and goals from marks 2. It was inthe first and -last games of the tourthat Great Britain's only. two '' pot-ted" goals were_ registered. IvorJones started the account with a "pdt' J

at Wanganui, and Jones-Davies madethe only other successful drop-kick to-wards the close of the game at Blen-heim on Tuesday. While the fact that"potting" was not employed to bet-ter account is surprising, goal-kickinghas been a strong point with the visi-tors, and it has accounted for sixty-five per cent, of the aggregate points.Black, Prentice, Parker, and IvorJones have been the principal goal-liickers. Twenty-one tries were con-verted by Black, who also kicked fourpenalty goals and scored three tries,giving him the highest individual ag-gregate, for the toufc—63 points/Prentice was next with 49 points (onetry, 14 goals from tries, and six pcn1-alty goals). He averaged a fractionover six points per game againstBlack's average of a litld over fourpoints per game. Novis headed thelist of try-getters, touching down ontwelve occasions—36 points. Parker'stotal of 35 points was made up of tenconversions of-tries and five penaltygoals'.

WANGANUI MURDER

MANLY FOUND GUILTY

DEATH SENTENCE PASSED

(By Telegraph.—Presß Association.)WANGANUI, 13th August.

Herbert Frederick Manly wassentenced to death for the murderof Gladys Barrington CromartyIn his summing up, whiel\ was par-

tially reported yesterday, his Honourthe Chief Justice, Sir Michael Myers,dealt with the question of the sanityof the xirisoner at the time of the crime.Only two verdicts were possible: Eithorguilty, Or not guilty on the ground ofinsanity. .

"That brings us at once to tho ques-tion as to the direction to be given toyou. First of all let me say to youthat under the law everyone shall bepresumed to be, sane until tho contrary,has been proved. Are you satisfiedthat tho accused was insane at thetime when the throat of this poor girlwas cut by him? Generally speaking,when you have a defence of insanityraised, you have some kind of evidoncecalled in support of it. You find someevidence of the- family history of ac-cused or of his personal history, or youfind evidonce of medical men who haveexamined him and have examined thoincidents leading to the offence and thecireumstancs surrounding the offence,and they express their opinion whetherthe man is insane or not. No suchevidence has been given in this case."

His Honour referred to the fact thatthe knife had been recently sharpened;they also had the act of accused goingto the station and after the accused hadbeen charged by the senior sergeant heremarked that '"'he did it." Mr. Tread-well suggested that accused did notknow what he was doing.

_Why did

he goto the police and give himself up?It did not at all follow that they musthave medical evidence. Tho jury wereasked to suppose that this man was in-sane when there was nothing beforethem in his life to show that he wasinsane. ...

It came back to the question of theirresistible or uncontrollable impulse,said Sir Michael. If the jury came tothe conclusion that he did not knowthe nature and quality of the act orthat he was doing wrong,' it was forthem, to find him not guilty on thoground of insanity. Unless they foundthis it would be their duty to find himguilty of the crime. They might findit possible to .bring in a verdict ofmanslaughter, but personally he did notthink so. In that case there were,onlytwo' possible verdicts—:either that ofguilty, or not guilty on tho ground ofinsanity. ■ ■ . , ■The jury retired at 12.55 p.m. andreturned at..4.5 p.m. with a verdict ofguilty. His Honour said that aftera very fair trial, in; which Manly hadbeen ably defended, he had been foundguilty of a crime for which there wasonly one penalty.

Manly, when asked if he had any-thing to say, said in a low husky voice:"It was never at any timo premedi-tatod.\' His Honour then passedsesfenee of death. '£300 FOE SLANDER

MOTOR COLLISION

CARRYING COMPANY SUED

' Injuries received by Ivon JohnstonoHill, labourer, of Upper Hutt, in a col-lision early in the year on the Silver-stream hill, between his motor-cycle anaa motor-lorry, formed the basis of hisclaim for £310 4s damages against theCunningham Carrying Co., Ltd., heardin the Supreme Court to-day before Mr.Justice Blair and a jury. . ' >Mr. P. J. O'Began appeared for theplaintiff, and Mr. E. Parry for the de-fendant. . .

His injuries includeda fracture of the rightarin, as a resultof which he was still totally disabledfrom working.

SLANDER ACTION

NON-SUIT POINTS

QUESTIONS FOR THE JURY

■ Tho slander action brought by Dr.Richard Walter Richards, of Welling-ton, against the Australasian Temper-anco and General Mutual Life Assur-ance Society, Ltd., was continued inthe Supreme Court to-day, before hisHonour Mr. Justice Ostler and a jury.

The plaintiff claimed £1000 damagesin respect of remarks alleged to havebeen made to one of his patients, Mrs.D. C. M. Bell, of Brooklyn, in the pres-ence of Mrs. V. G. Little by NurseBlathwayt, an employee of the society.

Mr. A. Gray, R.C., with him Mr. J.S. Hanna; appeared for the plaintiff,and Mr. E. P. Bunny, with him Mr.H. F. O'Leary, for the society.; After hearing legal argument on thonon-suit points raised during the hear-ing, his Honour said that the firstquestion was whether the nurse hadimplied authority from the defendantto make the defamatory statement, as-suming that it was, made. Sho hadimplied authority. only if she made the^statement in the course and within the'scope of her employment Certainlyit was made in tho course of her em-ployment. No lay person was bette>qualified to appreciate what was beingdone by a doctor than a nurse of thekind in the present case, and in hisHonour's opinion it was within thoscope of her employment to speak thewords she was alleged to ha.ye used.

On the question of privilege, hisHonour said that in his opinion theoccasion was privileged almost for thesame reason that it was within thescope of hor employment. It wouldbe a monstrous thing if such a nurse,when she said that the health of aperson was suffering through theneglect of a medical man, could notmake such a statement bona fide andWithout malice without rendering her-self liable to an action for slander.Another question was whether the factthat the words had been uttered, as-suming that they were uttered, in thepresence of a person having no commoninterest in-the subject matter destroyedtho privilege of'the occasion. In hisHonour's opinion, it did not, providedtBo nurse was acting bona fide andwithout malice. That seemed to bea question for the jury. . •'

NURSE'S DENIAL.His Honour said that in nearly all

cases where qualified privilege wasclaimed the words complained of wereadmitted to /have been used,- and thedefendant pleaded that they, had beenspoken without mailee and onaprivileg-ed occasion. In the present case thenurse denied having used the words orany like them. That, of course, wouldbn tho first question of fact for thejur- to determine. If they acceptedher evidence on that point? the actionnecessarily failed. If, however, theydecided that the words had been utteredthey would have to consider whetherthe words; wero used bona fido andwithout malice.

THE ISSUES. 'The. following issues were1 agreedupon for submission to the jury:—

(1) Wero tho words alleged in thestatement of claim or similar wordsspoken by the nurse?

(2) Wero tho words spoken by thenurse to Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Little de-famatory of the plaintiff? '(3) If so, was the nurse, when shospoke those words in the presence ofMrs. Little, acting bona fido or wassho actuated by malice? >

(4), If the words spoken by thenurse were defamatory of the•plaintiff,was she, in. speaking those words toMrs. Bell, actuated by malice-? ~..;, .

(5) 'What damages, if any, is theplaintiff entitled to recover from thedefendant? (Proceeding.)

Tho report of yesterday's proceed-ings appears,on page 15.

The committee, in dealing with thesemen, canno.t stress too strongly thevaluable aid rendered by those citizenswho offer odd jobs such as cleaning,wood chopping, and gardening aboutthe home. The lot of many a distress-ing ease would be relieved if those hav-ing such work to offer would release itnow instead of holding it until a laterdate.

"FOR GOOD"

CHANGE IN AUSTRALIANS

MR. WILL APPLETON'S ,VIEWS

(From "The Post's" Representative.)SYDNEY, 7th August.

There is one man at least who hasconfidence in the future of Australia,and ho is a New Zealander—Mr. WillAppleton, managing director of theCharles Haines Advertising Agency atWellington. He• has been in Austra-lia for two months studying generalconditions.

"This trouble has changed Austra-lia and Australians more than thepeople imagine," he said, referring tothe current depression. "I see achange everywhere, and it is a changefor the good. People are doing theirbusiness much more economically thanwhen I was" last here. In the past when<i, visiting business man came to Aus-tralia he was entertained in a way thatwas almost embarrassing. This busi-ness entertainment was carried tolengths that were not, equalled evenin London or New York. ' This time Ifind that things have.all changed.: "And a greater, change even thanthis have I found in the relations be-tween employers and employees. - Theold antagonism has died, and they areworking together.;, These two thingsalone are enough to indicate to me thatit is safe to invest money here. Evenin the hotels you notice a different at-mosphere. The waitor;and the bellboy and all of them are'anxious to dotheir best to get the country out ofits mess.'.'' ' ,

Mr. Appleton has been, asked whenhe returns to address the WellingtonChamberof Commerce on the future oftrade between Australia and New Zea-land. Because of this he has beenmaking a careful investigation intothe trade relations between the twocountries. "In the last four years,"he said in Melbourne the other day,"the export trade from Australia toNew Zealand has fallen by £2,000,000or about 40 per cent.. It came aboutwhen .A-ustralia shut out some of NewZealand's products. But although Aus-tralia was the biggest- loser, NewZealand is anxious to have the barriersdown again.' A conference of busi-ness men from the two countries wou'dsettle the whole matter within a £*"Vhours. ~ ' . '"New Zealand thinks so much \>2Australian trade that she has recent-ly appointed a Trade Commissioner toSydney. -Australia should do the samein New Zealand. We can never hope tobe a manufacturing country, and weare willing to buy from Australia. Atpresent, because of the tariff barriersbetween Australia and New Zealand,we are importing thousands of casesof preserved fruit from California, anda proportionate amount of dried-fruitsand oranges. -It seems absurd whenyou consider the positions of Austra-lia and New Zealand. There are 45,000New Zealanders making a livelihood inAustralia and\ 55*000 Australians inNew Zealand. The countries shouldbe more closely attached."

"DISGRACEFUL TACTICS"

THE UNEMPLOYED DEPUTATION

Mr. R. Seinple, M.P. for WellingtonEast, stated to-day that he wished itto be quite clearly understood that hehad no part in arranging the unemploy-ed deputation to the Prime Ministeryesterday, when tactics were employedthat, he said, were nothing short ofdsigraceful.

"What I did do," said Mr. Sempje,"was to ask the Prime Minister toreceive a deputation which would placetho views of the unemployed beforehim through the Trades and LabourCouncil. This the Prime Ministeragreed to do, fixing the time at'noonon Friday. The deputation which wait-ed upon Mr. Forbes yesterday hadnothing to_ do with the Trades" andLabour Council or myself: it was organ-ised by tho Communist Party. Thereis no connection between that party.and tho Labour Party, and I shouldhave refused to ask the Prime Ministerto nieet any auch deputation. ,"I wish to dissociate myself entirely

from the wholo procedure yesterday.Their methods only do the unemployedworking man a considerable amount ofdamage in the estimation of decent citi-zens.

The Department of Railways pointsout that the day was a Sunflay (notmentioned in the paragraph) and thatas no goods train was available on thataay the horses went by the first avail-able passenger train. To' have dis-charged them at Trentham would havemeant a delay that was. deemed, inad-visable in the case of a passengertrain, so the horses on. this particularSunday went on with the train toUpper Hutt, and were shunted backfrom there ,to Trenthain.., Had,it been'a working day they would have arrivedat Trentham per goods train at 11.15,a.ni. ■ ■„■: '. ■ • .;''■.'■' ■ '■ "It may be added here that the De-partment has to try toplease both horseowners and passengers, and on one ortwo occasions when the late trainfrom Lambton has been delayed atTrentham to unload Horses, Wallace-ville and Upper Hutt passengers havenot been pleased.

SALE AFTER HOURS. ■ o

BARMAN CONVICTED

A protracted licensing caac occupiedthe attention of Mr. W. JI. Woodward,S.M., in the Magistrate's Court atUpper Hutt yesterday. Patrick Kelly,was charged with havingbeea foundonlicensed premises when they were re-quired by law to be dosed. TorrenceM'Fetridge, barman at the TrenthamHotel, was charged with having soldliquov, openedfor the sale of liquor, andexposed liquor for sale, all after hours,and similar ehargea were made againstthe licensee,. Joseph' Quinn. Mr. J.Scott appeared for all the defendantsand pleaded not guilty to all thecharges. Sergeant J. W.M'Holm pro-secuted.

Constable Joss stated that with Con-stable Stewart he visited the TrenthamHotel about 10 a.m. on Sunday, 22ndJune, and in a small room next to thebar he found Kelly arid three boarders.Kelly admitted having com© for .a drink,but denied' having '. had any. In hispockets were a bottle of stout and abottle of beer, which he said he hadjust picked up in a paddock behind thevhotel, where he had "planted" themthe previous night.

Mr. Scott altered his plea in thiscase to guilty, and Kelly was convictedand fined £2. *The same, evidence was used againstM'Fetridge and Quinn. Constable Jossaded that M'Fetridge admitted havingserved the boarders, but denied havingsupplied any to Kelly. Quinn was noton the premises at the time.

Constable Stewart's evidence support-ed this.

Mr. Scott's submission thatthere wasno case to- answer was ruled out bythe! Magistrate, and the case proceeded.

The defenceraised by Mr. Scott wasthat M'Fetridge had no authority tosupply liquor to anyone during Quinn'sabsence after hours. On. this morningQuinn, before going to church, had op-ened the bar for M'Fetridge. to scrubit out and for that purposeonly.

Mr. Scott quoted numerous cases, re-lating mainly to the liability ;of alicensee for the acts of his servant.. Evidence was given-by the three de-fendants, and by.J.'S. Cunningham andP. O'Connor, two of the boareters.

FULL CREAM CHEESE

BRITISH DEMANDS

STANDARDISED ARTICLE

"Evening Post," 14thAugust.

Was the institution ,of standardisedcheese a wise business move? Time isbeginning to raise doubts on the question.Legally, a factory licensed to make stand-ardised cheese may not export cheese withless than 50 per cent, of milk fat from

-Ist August to 28th or 29th Februarys andnot less than 52 per cent, of milk fatfrom Ist March to 31st July. On theether hand, a factory making full creamcheese may turn but:one article with leesthan these minimum fat contents. Thereare divided -opinions in' New Zealand ofstandardisation1.: South makers appear toprefer making'thefull cream Article, whilein; the north the prevailing view appearsto' Be that if the legal percentage of fatcontent is in"the; cheese; no more can be. expected, inasmuch as' a full-creamcheese may contain less than 50 per cent.

' of "fat. Withtrich milk for cheese manu-facture yielding well1 over 50 per cent,of fat, it would; appear: to be a. matterof sound business to turn the Surplus per-centage of fat" mtoi profit,.'..making, ofcourse, a sufficient allowance on the rightlide for error,; • ■':'-

From the manufacturer's point of viewit;would seem that if .thefat content ofhis cheese complies with: the law, and isequal in 'all other respects to full creamcheese, his customer, should have no causefor complaint. ; •But in times like the present, when mar-kets axe low and supplies .in abundance,the usually exercises his right'to; have the last word, and is doing sonow with respect, to standardised cheese.That trustworthy and staid'trade journal,the London "Grocer," questions whether

•tfie quality of Itfew.Zealand cheese duringrecent years has been equal stand-ard which came in the earlier, days _ofthe industry.-.Views as to the deterioration~ are so widely held that it can be con-sidered that the article, as such, is notgiving satisfaction, thouglrno doubt, whenthis fact is made known to theturers, in New Zealand they'.will'seek im-mediately to remedy the shortcomings.

"Apart from the general- criticism oflooseness of texture and lack, of flavour,there is a growing resentment at the typeknown as 'standardised' cheese. When this'standardised' cheese was, ■ introduced tothe market, traders generally were inclin-ed: to try it before criticising it, despitethe fact that they viewed it with a cer-tain amount of suspicion. On making in-quiries as to the meaning of the term'standardised' cheese, they were not alto-gether surprised to know that the cheesewas, in fact, made from skimmed milk,und on that account could notbe describ-jed' as 'full cream' cheese.

FAILS TO FIND FAVOUR."Skimmed cheese is no novelty in the

tradft," remarks the "Grocer," "and, in-deed,used to-come in large quantities fromthe United States of America many yearsago,' but it would scarcely be fair to com-pare the New Zealandcheese with the type of cheese generallyk&own in the trade as 'skimmed cheese.So long, however, as the cheese is not'full cream' there is an undoubted pre;jiidice. against it, and as

_time goes on■ this prejudice will surely increase rather

than diminish. Those who have handledthe 'standardised' assert that* apartaltogether from prejudice, the article" does'not: meet with favour, and on account ofthe: large proportion of New ZealandCheese now coming forward 'under the♦standardised' heading, the prejudice is

f teuch as to affect the whole, of the NewZealand cheese as an article of food.

CANADIAN IS FULL CREAM./'Traders assert that the inferior qual-

ity has already reflected itself in the mar-ket price to be./Obtained, when comparedwith the price. of its competitor, Can-adian full cream cheese."... .It is not toomuch, to say that the trade in Englandwould welcome the abandonment of'standardised' cheese and a return to no-. thing but the 'full cream' variety."

"The Post's." London correspondent re-jporfcs in « similar vein, after interview-ing several readers in .the provision trade.

WISCONSIN'S EXPERIENCE."Marschall's Dairy Laboratory, Madison,

Wisconsin, in a history of cheese makingIn that State, showed'how in the early'seventies Wisconsin came to the front,and steadily improved its make until ins1891 its out-turn was 54 million pounds."Then began to be felt the effects of an«vil that had slowly fastened itself on theindustry, and now threatened its, life.

"In their eagerness for gain, some ofthe factorym'en had begun to skim themilk before making it into cheese/ thusreducing the amount of butter-fat in thefinished product. -This was done' at.firstin: the belief that the difference wouldnot be noticed,in;foreign markets. Fromtiuch a practice it was only a step fur-.ther to the substitution of animal fatJor the butterrfat that had been taken

"Quality Buffered and demand began tofall oft. In two years the production ofcheese-in Wisconsin dropped nine millionEounds, and by 1895 the yearly output

ad shrunk to 36 millionpounds—less thantwo-thirds of what it was.four years be-fore. ;'. '■■■■ - ■■- " :- . '■ ■"Drastic measures were necessary, andthe Legislature of 1895was inducedtopass6 law prohibiting the manufacture of 'fill-ed* cheese, and-requiring all skimmed milk, cheese to be made in a special shape, sothat it <might be easily identified. Theindustry took a new lease of life, but thegreat foreign trade which had been builtup had been lost to Canada, never to beregained." I ' . •Standardised dheese as made m NewZealand is not dheese made of skim milk,but of milk from which some cream liasbeenskimmed. Db is not difficult,however,to conceive "that if the ultimate consumerbuys cheese made from partially skimmedMilk he may imagine that it is made fromBkim milk; at any rate it is not theproduct of full cream or unskimmed milk,Although it may actually contain as muchtis or vmore milk fat than a full creampheese.v ' "

A BAD YEAR

LOVELL AND CHRISTMAS

(From "The Post's" Representative.)*:>■'■' ■ > LONDON, 11th July.A bad year and no final dividend ap-

peared to be the reasons for a more thanusually large attendance of shareholdersat the annual meeting of Messrs. Lovelland Christmas this afternoon.

The chairman (Mr. W. C. Lovell) saidthe directors regretted they.had been ob-liged to recommend that no dividend bepaid on the ordinary shares for the finalhalf-year. The result of the year's tradehad been very ,unsatisfactory, the onlyconsolation being that* they were pot inthe dark as to the 'causes -which hadbrought it about, and this should enablethem to put themselves in a position tocope with similar circumstances in thefuture. The main cause of the decreasein earnings was the fall in the sellingprice of'commodities. The business beingalmost entirely run on commission lines,a fall of one-third in the price of butter(such as actually occurred when prices fellfrom 184s to 126s per cwt) meant.a lossof one-third of their commission. Then,again, it would be realised that it was im-possible to carry on a business of thismagnitude without certain stocks beingcarried, especially by the subsidiary com-panies. These stocks, although small indi-vidually amounted in the aggregate to aconsiderable sum. On fluctuating marketsthey generally camd out all square at theend of the year, but on this occasion theyhad had fallingmarketsior practically ninemonths. Needless to say, this had necessi-tated the periodical writing, off of adversebalances. • ,

A sum of £133.452 had been withdrawnfrom reserves. The report and balance-sheet were adopted with one dissentient.

MERCANTILE BANK

The Sydney "Bulletin" was asked by acorrespondent: "What is the position ofshareholders in the Mercantile. Bank of,Australia (in compulsory liquidation)?"The answer given was: Finality has beendelayed owing to illness of the first liqui-dator,and to doubt about the presentliquidator's ' legal rights in respect ofClaims against certain persons who bene-fited under contracts made with'the com-pany. Counsel's opinion is being sought.Asset* (apart from uncalled capital) con-sist of a few hundred pounds in cash.;The rights of shareholders, amongst them-,selves present another • problem, withstartling possibilities for ordinary share-holders. Though these unfortunates never-had the satisfaction of seeing the"bank's" doors open, in, addition to los-ing their paid capital there is a chanceof their being called upon to make up, tothe extent of their uncalled, liability, whatthe preference shareholders have lost.Premiums paid on preference, shares, ofcourse, have definitely gone. The fact'that three different prospectuses wereissued promises to make the adjustmentof 'rights of shareholders inter se' moreconfusing still. At the date the winding-up petition was presented,, paid capitalwas £16,475 in 2332 8 per cent, (fixed)cum. prefs., 3773 "A" participating prefs.,and.4262;ords., all £5 shares.

PLEASANT TRAVELLING

News comes from. Mrs. G. D. Green-,vood, of Christchurch. to friends inWellington of her pleasant tour through\inerica and Canada to London. Shewrites that sho' spout longer than shelad planned in Los. Angeles and SanDiego, the place and people' being ;olelightful. Mrs. Greenwood, says that;he company on board tho Makura wasvery enjoyable, the pleasant companyincluding Sir Maui atnd Lady Pomare-the Zane Grey party, and Leo Carillo;the latter being very pleasant when he3merged from his cabin, where ho stud-ied plays during tho voyage. Mrs,Sreenwood mentions ICanc Grey's secretary, Miss Mildreu Smith, who writesscenarios for his plays from his booksShe makes a great deaH of money, andhas a beautiful housa of her owe aiAttadena, living there wit.i her mother

Mrs. Sewell, of Christchurch, is stay-ing with Miss Smith. The house, saysMrs. Greenwood, is unique, being builtin Indian style of "adobe," and theinterior is to match, perfectly carriedout. Magnificent homes are every-where in Los Angeles; Zane Grey's isbeautiful. The house is in Indian modealso, with a wonderful garden. It is agood thing for New Zealand that heand Captain Mitchell and party havebeen to the Dominion, as they are goodadvertisers, and intend to return hereat the end of the year. Visits werepaid to many clubs by Mrs. Green-wood, and she mentions the"Women's," "Breakfast," "Beach,""Luncheon," and "Country." Avisit was also paid to a "Supper Club"held in a modol Indian village, andthe New Zealander was fortunate inbeing one of the first women to en-ter an Indian "Kiva" or meeting-house. Mrs. Greenwood was taken tothe zoo to see the animals that hadbeen trained for the "talkies," andwas photographed side by side with"Jackie" the lion, who is. wonderful,also "Snooks" the-chimpanzee. Thetraveller found' New York most fascin-ating, and would like to Lave stayedthere longer, but her itinerary wasmade up. At Chicago she experiencedthe heat wave,' which was truly ter-ribto, though the worst Was over whenshe arrived. Mrs. Greenwood met aformer friend, a lady doctor, Dr. An-derson, on board tho Mauretania, enroute for Serbia to take up specialwork. Mrs. Greenwood writes of thegreat kindness of the American peoplewhom she had met, but says that thereare troublous times on the New YorkStock Exchange, which have resultedin many people cancelling their reser-vations to Europe. Mrs. Greenwoodwrote again just before arrival inLondon of the beautiful voyage andpleasant people met on board the Mau-retania.

'Emulating Bruce.

Lord Astor is emulating tho famousSpider'watched by Robert Bruce (says."Time and Tide") and is^again pre-senting a resolution to the House ofLords, as follows: "That in view ofthe attainment of women to full en-franchisement, to membership of, thoHouse' of Commons, to Cabinet, ' andMinisterial".rank in His Majesty's Gov-ernment, this House would welcome, ameasure admitting them to tho Houseon tho same terms as men." Thisresolution is the result of a new ac-tivity by the wumen's movement inEngland to remover this flagrant con-stitutional anomaly. The: situationhas changed since- the Upper Housolast discussed this question three yearsago. The Prime Minister has declaredhimself very definitely in favour ofthis reform. The entry of women intothe Cabinet, tho appointment of awoman for the first time as a fulldelegate to the League Assembly, andthe complete political enfranchisementof women, have made' their absencefrom tho Upper House more, ridiculousthan ever. It is difficult to sco howin the faco of tho present situationthe House of Lords can very well re-cord its vote against the principle ofadmitting women to its deliberations.Novel Fasteners.

Fasteners aro as fascinating as thebags themselves, besides being as securoas fasteners could possibly be, writes aLondon correspondent. On a blackantelope po'ehotte is a "half" mountonly of silver set with mareassite. Toopen the bag the mount must be lifted.A silver and mareassite "rod"'mountmust bo pulled out each end in orderto open another.;bag. This mount isanother lovely example of workman-ship, being set with coloured enamel,and engraved inside. Marcassite itselfis alluring, its glittering charm that isso'reminiscent of diamonds beingachieved by cut steel that is inset insilver' by diamond-workers. A blacklizard bag has an engine-turned silvermount that also opens with an unusualsliding ratf. A. black patent leatherpochette is secured with a "belt" fas-tener and a smart gold buckle. Itwould be tho making of a tailored suit.Another intriguing fastener is "a mar-cassite bolt that slides open like tholock on a door.

COLLEGE RUGBY

WIN FOR WELLINGTON

GAME AT ATHLETIC PARK

liiigby football as taught and played intho colleges always makes a very strongappeal to followers of the game, and whenthe first fifteens of Wellington Collegeand St. Patrick's College try conclusionsthere is usually a game which would docredit to teams much higher on the scaleof experience. Both schools have been andstill are splendid training grounds for theyoung footballers; they have producedmany fine players in the past, and judgingfrom the present-day results of atten-tion to this great pastime, they will, pro-duce many more in the future. Evidencethat the old traditions are being upheldis furnished week by'week in the gamesthat are played by the boys of the col-leges, and at Athletic Park yesterday af-ternoon there was a special opportunityof seeing the elect of St. Patrick's andWellington colleges, in action—it was theannual match between the first fifteens,and a special occasion not only for thepresent boys, but also for the old boys.Both colleges were represented in fullforce, and the pupils, assembled mainly on(lie western bank, lent much coloilr to theproceedings', not only by the liberal dis-play of black and gold (Wellington) andblue and-white (St. Patrick's), ■ but alsoby the enthusiastic manner. in which theyurged their respective:'teams on, to.vic-tory and showed appreciation of good ef-forts on the part of the players-engagedin- the match. There were, 'of ' course,"many other spectators, among them Mr.James Baxter (manager), F. D. Prentice(captain), and other members of■the Brit-ish team. -Boys under 7st. in," weightsupplied tho preliminary, to the big match,their good game ending .in' a .draw—6 all.For a display' of the best ..order from thefirst fifteens the conditions-unfortunatelywere not of ..the:best, a heavy groundbeing a. big handicap. The weather, how-ever, was good. The boys provided areally splendid -game, rising: at times toheights which' are usually reached onlyunder dry conditions. That they werewell trained in the vai'ious departmentswas'clear.-from the manner in which theplay -was, varied; it, was. really a dayfor the forwards, but.backs as well as for-wards played a conspicuous part, all con-tributing to a.keen, interesting and en-tertaining", match. Victory went to Wel-lington College by a margin 'of ninepoints, and they wore- unquestionably thebetter •team. The St. Patrick's Collegeboys made their strongest bid at stagesof "the second, spell, and for a time theygave promise.'of "pressing their opponentsto a close finish, but Wellington Collegefinished on in the manner which had madeIlium the superior force earlier in thegame. St. Patrick's required to win thismatch in order to draw level with Wel-lington in the number of wins in thelong series of games between tho firstfifteens of the colleges, but the result ofyesterday's game gave Wellington a leadof two wins. ' . . , . ■' "The teams were:—Wellington College—Poulton;.. Watt,Cromie," Sloane; Carlson, Reynolds; Sad-ler; Hood; Ongley, Deck, MacKenzie, "Wil-lis, Elliott, Bird, Middlebrook. ■St. Patrick's College.—Dennehy; Kane,Tatnell, Wiwi; Toroa, Kafter; Cooney;Bird: Hognn, Cook. A. M'Donald, Fleming,M'Cormnck, J. M'Donald, Benton.

Wellington won the toss, and playingfrom the southern end, they were quicklyinto their stride, Sadler, a nippy' half-back, feeding his backs well. Carlson andCromie showed up as dangerous penetrat-ing backs, and a fine run by the latteropened the way for a try, which, however,was lost through.a bad pass. The backskept up, and a minute later Croraie cutthrough the opposition and scored a finetry, which Carlson was unable• to con-vert. 3-0. Immediate ;retaliation wasmade- by St. Patrick's, and when Cookcharged down a relieving kick,, Welling-ton's line was in danger. The positionwas cleared,' and in subsequent play theefforts of both back divisions to open upthe game were smothered until*" St. Pat'srearguard operated effectively. Toroa didgood work in a- passing bout, which wastopped off by Wiwi scoring neay; the cor-ner. Dennehy's kick was unsuccessful.3-3.- At this Wellington engaged inH afurther series of advances, forwards andbacks making splendid headway, withCromie still a conspicuous figure. From' ascrum near the line Sadler, the Welling-",ton half, caught the opposition unawaresand scored a fine try on the open side.Carlson's kick failed;' C-3. In furtherkeeuplay there were a number of penalties,and with one of these kicks, Carlson en-deavoured to "pot" a goal, but failed.There was much give and take play, inwhich the St. Patrick's College backs wereinclined to over-do kicking. The defenceon both sides was good, that; of St. Pat-rick's being put to the greater test. Bven;tnally the Wellington backs again beatthe opposition with an attractive move-ment. 'Cromie-cut through splendidly andj

passed to Watt, who, after a good run,passed back to Cromie. The centre-three-quarter had no difficulty in scoring, butUarJson was again unable to convert.There was no lurther scoring in the first.spell, which ended Wellington, 9; St. Pat-rick's, 3.

By the manner in which they started outin the second spell, Wellington lookedlike putting up a big score. Passing bythe backs and good loose play by theforwards had the opposition in trouble,and the danger was increased when Wiwifailed to field the ball from an attackingkick. Wellington followed up smartly, andCarlson finished off with a try near theposts. Maclvenzie failed to convert. 12-3.The play of the St.-Patrick's team show-ed an appreciable improvement after this,the forwards working well and enablingthe backs to have a better share of theball. Kafter, Toroa, and Tatnell hadplenty of chances, but the best was notmade of them, although the players werefaced with a set of capable defenders.Eventually, ' Toroa found the gap, andmade no mistake of using it to the full.He scored a good try, which Fleming fail-ed to convert. 12-6. Further rushes bySt. Patrick's were not easily checked, norwere some by Wellington, the play be-coming more lively than at any previousstage of the game. Tatnell had to retireowing to an injury, and his place wastaken by Dennehy, Brewer going on asfull-back. Some fine rallies by both sides,with the trend of, play changing rapidly,were loudly applauded, as were the suc-cessful.attempts to liold up the stingingattacks. It was just before the finalwhistle sounded that an attractive boutby the Wellington backs resulted in a tryby Watt, who showed a fine turn of speedin, outstripping the -.opposition. Carlsondid not convert the try, and the, gameended: . .

NURSE'S DENIAL

CLAIM FOR DAMAGESMOTION FOR NONSUIT

That she made the remarks attributed|to her against Dr.1 Richard Walter| Kichards, of Wellington, was emphatic-

■ laly denied by Nurse Mabel Blathwayt inthe Supreme Court yesterday afternoonin the cburst of her evidence in the actionfor damages brought by Dr. Richards: against the' Australasian Temperance andGeneral Mutual Life Assurance Society,Ltd., with whom the nurse is employed.Dr. Richards claimed £1000 damages, al-leging that the nurse had spoken falselyand maliciously about him in regard tohis treatment of Mrs. D. C. M. Bell, ofBrooklyn. ,

Mr. A. Gray, K.C., with him Mr. J. S.Hanna, appeared for the plaintiff, andMr. E. P. Bunny, with him Mr. H. F.O'Leary, for the society.

After hearing evidence and legal argu-ment, the hearing was adjourned untilthis morning.

r, NONSUIT. pLICAT!O^'At' tlie eo'niiiu"si6n of" the plaintiff's case,

Sfr'J';ißun'fiJr-formally moVed fof a non-suit .on ithejolipwing. grounds: (1) Thatthe wordil alleged to have been Used wereii6t iS themselves defamatory and wereincapablfe "of bearing the meaning allegedby tlie plaintiff; (2) that the occasionwas privileged, and ii_ privileged therewas no evidence of malice on the part of

I the nurse or the defendant; (3) that theexpression of any opinion by the nurseconcerning the plaintiff was not withinth6sSope' of Mr employment, and in theexpression of_aily opinion B.he was notacting ijnder Jthe .expressed or impliedau-tiuMy' $ M'■tJefaWant. 'His Honour.Teserved-,the nonsuit points.

Tha first witness called by the defencewa& Maurice W. Joln'stoni an insuranceagent, employed by the com-pany. The witness said thdt when incompany withhis superintendent hevisitedon 27ftt February Mrs. Bell's house, Mrs..Bell appeared £d hiinto 6e ill, and witnessaft*-Mr if .she1 would like to avail her-self of one,of the company's purses. Mrs.Bell Said ste Would Me t6 KaVe a Bursecall upon her, and witness at. once com-municated with the company's office tomake arrangements.

In answer to Mr. Gray, witness saidthat Mrs. Little was in the room whenthe conversation with Mrs. Bell tookplace.

NURSE'S EVIDENCE.Mabel Blathwayt said she was a quali-

fied nurse and finished her training inDecember, 1919. Since then she hadqualified in midwifery and Plunket workand had had experience in' public hos-r'tals as well as private nursing. Shehad been employed by the defendant com-pany since June, 1920, exclusively. Onher visits to patients she advised them tocall in a doctor very often. Witness gavedetails of how she received her instruc-tions' and what she did in a general waywhen she visited patients. She knewnothing about Dr. Richards. In responset( instructions from the defendant com-pany's office, she visited Mrs. Bell in Feb-ruary. Mrs. Bell appeared to be very

ill indeed, and was wearing a bandageover the left side of her face and'head.Her glands \yere swollen and Mrs. Bellcould only speak in a whisper. She aj*peared to be in a very high fever and wasvery nervy. Prior to her visit to Mrs.Bell, witness had discovered several casesof diphtheria.. Witness said to Mrs. Bellthat she thought she (Mrs. Bell) wouldbe better in bed and advised Mrs. Bellto get a doctor. Mrs. Bell said she hadhad a doctor, and that the medicine shehad obtained had done her no good. Inreply to a question by witness, Mrs. Bellsaid her doctor was Dr. Richards. Mrs.Bell gave witness the impression thatshe was not using the medicinethe doctorhad ordered her at all.

DIPHTHERIA CASES."I could see she had no confidence in

her doctor," continued\ witness, and Iwas very concerned for her welfare. Itried to persuade her to see her doctoragain and go on with his; treatment. Mrs.Bell said she was not going tOf have anyold doctor in the house to see her.

_Wit-

ness said she,talked with Mrs. Bell in thekitchen for about ten minutes. Mrs.Little was there a good deal of the time.On her way to the front door witnesstried to impress upon Mrs. Little now illMrs. Bell was and that it/eras necessarythat she should see a doctor again. Wit-ness said- to Mrs. Little that there wassucha number of people with sore throatsand eases of diphtheria about that it wasreally urgent that Mrs. Bell should havea doctor. She thought it was possibleMrs. Bell. had diphtheria, but she wascertain she did not ask Mrs. Little toring up for a taxi to take Mrs. Bell tothe Hospital. She was sure the onlymention made of diphtheria was to Mrs.Little at the door. Witness positivelydenied'that she said in reference to Dr.Richards: "Oh, him, Like a few moreof his cases," etc.; or .made any suchstatements.. She,had never had anycomplaints about Dr. Richards and liadnot conic into contact with'any of thedoctor's cases. ' The following day .wit-ness called at the .house again, and Mrs.• Bell said she tad seen Dr. Richards. Mrs.Bell said that' the ' doctor had ' taken aswab of her throat and that 'he wasannoyed that witpesß should have sug-gested that she (Mrs. Bell) should go toHospital. Witness said she told Mrs. Bellthat she only suggested that course toMrs. Little as an, alternative if Ehe re-fused to have her doctor. ;The next time■ witness called-at tb.e house she was toldMrs. Bell was quite well and was not athome. A few- days later witness hap-pened to be in the locality again andmade another call, but no one was_ home.She heard Dr. Richards was making in-quiries about her and witness went tothe doctor's surgery., Dr. Kichards saidhe did not intend to trouble witness tocall. Dr. Richards said: 'TTpu wantedMrs. Bell1 to go to the Public Hospital.Witness said she explained to Dr.Richards that it was only as an alterna-tive, as Mrs. Bell refused to have hermedical adviser. No further discussiontook place, and witness left the surgery.

In answer to his Honour, witness saidshe did not say, "You might be dead andcold by then," or use any woro likethose. ..

No further evidence was-called by thedefence. The jury was discharged untilthis morning, and legal argument wasthen heard on the points raised by Air.Bunny. ■-•■-. ■ ' :

LIVING HIGH

CHAMPAGNE IN PRISON

The French Council of State is «hort-ly to determine whether a prison mayrun a restaurant in which diners payfor their' favourite dishes, says th«"Daily Telegraph.'-

For many years a restaurant keeperwhose establishment stands opposite theSante prison, has •,been, accustomed tosell meals to prisoners who could affordto pay for them—and these were many.There were financiers awaiting trial whoordered oysters, roast chicken, aspara-gus, champagne, and so forth from therestaurant, and had the meals delicate-ly served in their cells. :

But the restaurant-koeper now com-plains that he gets very few orders. Hestates tliat the reason is that the Gov-ernor of the prison has established arestaurant within its walls, where pri-soners may supplement prison fare tothe extent of their means.

The first result of his coraplauifc ofunfair competition is that the name ofwhat he calls the "prison restaurant"has been.changed to"Canteen No. 2."But the Aiiame, he says, makes no di£-fp-ence. It is the business that counts,and he has put forward1 the case thatprison authorities jhave no right to enterthe catering business. Their duty is tohold 'prisoners within their walls andnourish them sufficiently, but not tohave'commercial transactions withthem.

The inquiry about to be opened willprobably reveal whether oysters andchampagne figure on the menus of theprison canteen as they do on tbitt oftho restaurant.

SURRENDERNEW SHEAEING AWARD

A.W.U. DECISION

The Australian Workers' Union issitting on the fence over the shearingdispute, according to a manifestoissued by tho executive, saysthe "DailyPictorial."

Members of the union arc given theright to bargain for higher wages thanin the new award, but any who acceptthe award- rates "will not offend theprinciples of the organisation."

There is no definite statement in themanifesto that the shearers already onstrike against a 20 per cent, reductionon the old award should resume at newawardratet, or that nofurther stoppagesof work should take place.

Employers interpret tho manifesto tomean 'that the union officially absolvesitself of responsibility for any strikes,but leaves the men right to cease workif they wish.

Shearing should be in full swingthroughout the Commonwealth withina week or so, and any delays would beserious.

Everything hinges now on how themen interpret'the word "bargain," whichthroughout the industrial movementimplies the right of the-workers to pittheir collective strength against theemployers.

TERMS OF MANIFESTO.The attitude of the Australian Work-

ers' Union towards the new shearers'award was discussed for two days bythe executive committee appointed bythe executive council of the union, saysthe Melbourne* "Age." Subsequently

a manifesto signed by the president(Senator Ji Barnes)j the general sec-retary (Mr. E. Grayhdler) and Messrs.F. W. Lundie, J:Bailey and W. B. Dale,was issued to members of the.A.W.TJ.notifying that,-while maintaining theright of individual members to tiargainfor remuneration above the .minimumaward rates, members accepting employ-ment in the terms of the award,wouldnot be considered as offending., againstunion principles. The manifesto read asfollows:— / ' ■ ' :■■■■• ' "-' '■ :

The executive committee appointedby the executive council of the unionhas given the; gravest, consideration'tothe present situation and'trouble caiisedby the drastic cut in shearing .rates ofthe Dethridge award, and, after havingconsidered every aspect with the viewof constitutionally upsetting the award,the executive committee has cometo thefollowing unanimous decision:—

That whilst asserting the right ofour own individual members to bargainfor rates abovo the minimum ratesprescribed by the Dethridge award, anymember who accepts employment in theterms of tho. award is not offendingagainst any principle of the union; .

Tho A.W.TJ. has-always stood forarbitration, and^. unsatisfactory as theaward is, your executive, after verycareful cons.ideration/.has arrived at theabove decision, and members are in-structed to act accordingly.' The weeklyrates for wool pressing and cooks andthe rates for shed Tiands and stationhands are undisturbed for the presentand remain at the rates prescribed intho old award. ' "'.'■'

SHEDS AT WORK,The general secretary of the Graziers'

Association (Mr. J.W. Allen) has statedthat at least 100'Sheds were shearing atthe now rates. ......

HOTT PARK

PEOPOSED IMPROVE-MENTS

A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

For some time past the Hutt ParkCommittee has been considering^ theadvisability of a permanent layomt ofthe Hutt Park, so that work done fromtime to. time.'will-notbe wasted bull,will■ultimately form part of a completedB.cheme. , . '...Ike committee engaged a landscape

engineer, and after considering hissketch ■ plans, instructed him to ,com-plete plans for the most urgent workin:'the south-east .corner of the park,in what is generally known as thepicnic ground. Though the committeeJias approved the general scheme, itwill consider details'of the several jportions as the . occasion arises. ■ Thudevelopment of the plan over the area.at present occupied for sports purposestrill not be proceeded with in any waythat will interfere with ,the golf linksduring the continuance of■ the leaseKeld by' the golf club, nor with anyother sports areas on the park for theJime being. i- The general idea is to enclose the"whole area with shelter belts of pinetrees, as a protection for the parksand! trotting tracks and "the more deli-cate trees and shrubs.;.;,A special feature is the suggestediavenue, nearly half a mile long, justitfprth of the trotting track. Subjectto further investigation,' it is proposedthat the-. avenue shall consist of twobelts of pines, with oaks and horsechestnuts facing the avenue, and withehrubs on the outside of the pines..^The north-west corner enclosed bythe' Awamutu, stream will :be essential-ly-English in character, and provisionis made for tennis courts,: a forester'scottage, and tearooms. The Awamutustre&m will be bermed, grassed, andplanted with weepingwillows. Thenorth-east; park wjll be of'all native trees andBlirnbs with an enclosed area of oneaiid'i a half acres reserved for specialnative plants, grown as* nearly ■as pos-sible under natural conditions.,'^Ti»e scheme provides for two|Jpavjilions with all ' sanitary arrange- Jmeats, for sports. , An avenue, from

>the; station and a bridge over the jefcroam will give direct access from ther'ailjway to the racecourse. Both theseparks will .be levelled, and provision Ibe made for sixi sports grounds.^'vln the south-east corner, provisiontrill be made for three distinct picnicgrounds, which will be levelled andireljl sheltered, provided; with propereanitary accommodation, and in addi-tion to the present tennis courts, willlater have an unenclosed swimmingppoj sixty feet by twenty-five, a chil-dren's paddling poolj ;boatshedsj andothir buildings which may later beconsidered necessary. • ...

' ii the: southern corner the low lyinggroind will be converted .into a swampgaftlen for native plants.

The layout inside the trotting trackhas (not been finallyconsidered, but theproposal■includes a pattern traced _inconcrete, surrounded with low growingplants and shrubs, a garden for 'stan-dard roses, a sunken grass - plot, a]akalet, and aquatic garden.

-Ample accommodation will _t>e_ madeSpr',both buses-and cars ion'picnic andx'kce days.- ' ' '; .

The whole area comprises aboutseventy acres, and it will be from, tento fifteen years before the scheme isbrought to its almost full:development.• Th-6 ■ Hutt -Park • Committee consistsof the followingmembers:'RepresentingPetpne, Messrs. !J;"W; Longman (chair-man); E.

STOATS AND WEASELS; REMOVAL OF PROTECTION

THE RAT IN THE BUSH

The removal of protection, fromgtoats, weasels, and ferrets in districts•where there are 'no • rabbits: was dealtwith-by Mr.1 L. O. H. Tripp in a state-ment made at last evening's meeting

of the council of the Wellington Ac-climatisation Society. ;

For niany years, the societies hadbeen asking that the protection shouldbe removed, said\ Mr. Tripp, it being

felt that if the.numbers of those ani-,mals were materially reduced it -wouldhave a'very marked effect on bird lifein the Dominion. He had discussed thematter with many farmers; in both Is--landsj and had found that some did notknow that ths.animals were protected.JMaiiy always killed them if they had achance because of the damage they did

-by killing/poultry and eating eggs.He had written to the secretary of

.the New ZealandFarmers' Union to seejf the farmers would agree to the pro-,tection '■■ being removed altogether,■ pointing out that, although the ani-malswere legallyprotected, the law wasapt observed. If protection were taken,off altogether, it would really make nodifference in those districts where therewererabbits, because if the farmers didriot want the animals trapped they.would not allow the.trappers to enter.their properties. Owing to the difficultyof trapping the animals and their num-bers it would be almost impossible to:trap them out. He was glad to notethat those unions which had consider-ed the proposal- were agreed that pro-tection should bo removed altogether.

Mr. Tripp also referred to the dangerthat, stoats would take to killing lambsif they could not get sufficient numbersof birds and rabbits to Batisfy them.In the Wellington district there was avery large number of stoats, but veryfew weasels. If it were possible ■■ to

;trap out the weasels, stoatsj ferrets,'""'rats, and cats'in the native bush, he"was satisfied'that the native birds"#ould soon become as plentiful as theywere in the old days. ':

Bof erring to a cablegram • that thePasteur Institute had discovered atyphoid bacillus which would destroyrats without harming bird life or hu-man beings, Mr. Tripp said-that if the■rats in the native bush could be wipedout it would go a long way towards re-storing the bird life. The rat was oneof the greatest enemies of birds, andthe greatest enemy of the rat was theweka. It was contended by Mr. Guthrie-Smith that in- some forest areas thestoat, weasel, and ferret had been large-ly responsible, for the disappearance ofthe weka, and consequently the rats•had increased enormously. In the Wel-lington district, where there were nowekas, rats were very numerous, andan enormous number was caught inopossum traps..T'There is a bishop who believes in the

ln)uch-criticised dress of the modern girl.-:The Bishop ofBarking, speaking at a con-ference :of Portsmouth Diocesan Churchof England "Men's Society at Kyde, said, that not many.years ago the shortness of

.the skirt of the modern girl would havebeen thought deplorable, whereas, to them,it'was an entirely innocent form of dress.

•■When they were motoring in the countryat night short skirts and cream stockingshad saved people possible disasters when

To moat people, and probablyto all people in Petone • itself, thechances of such' a change of name be-ing adopted would seem t-o be verysmall, in fact, negligible, unless en-forced by a drastic Act.of Parliaii entenforcing heavy , penalties foT usingthe old name.

THE EVENING POST. THUKSDAY, ATIOTTST 14, 1930. 17

CORRESPONDENCERATE REBATES

(To the Editor.)Sir,—Tho judgment just delivered by the

Full Court re the Northcotc BoroughCouncil v. Mr. A. 6,, Buchanan is bo gravein its import to local bodies that it cannotbe allowed to pass. The facts are that.Mr. Buchanan lias successfully sued theNorthcote Borough Council (which levies

rates upon the unimproved value of land)for the return of half his rates on theground that his premises remaining vacantfor six months his suit came within themoaning of Section fi9 o£ the Rating Act,1925. With all due respect to the rulingof the Court, Sir, I submit that the de-cision is wrong in law, and that Mr. J.O'Shea, counsel for Wellington City, wasright in his contention that Section.69 wasnot applicable where the rating was on un-improved values. Their Honours have notsufficiently appreciated the procedure oftho assessment of rates "in boroughs, norhave they realised the full implications oftheir judgment,which are- very far-reach-ing indeed. Land under any 'system ofrating takes precedence of buildings andimprovements in the computing of values,if for no othjar reason than precedencein time or importance. Valuators "havealways, for very sufficient reasons, as-sessed tho value of land apart from thevalues of improvements. The bearing ofthese remarks becomes evident on compar-ing two adjoining sections. Suppose themboth vacant, they both, under any systemofrating, pay rates. Ifone section only, iabuilt upon, under the annual or capitalvaluo systems of rating it pays additionalrates according to the value of the im-provements placed upon it, but under theunimproved value system of rating no fur-therrates are leviable,- If the Full Court'sruling is.valid, and under the rating onunimproved values, we have the invidiousfact of a vacant section paying twice theamount of rates of a section built uponbut unoccupied. But logically, why shouldit stop here? If thehouse is vacant forthe full twelve months' no rates at allshould be leviable. But this does not ex-haust tho absurdity of the ruling. Oneman buys a house and land for £1000;another buys a section only for £1000.Under what principle of equity can thefirst man be relieved from rates and notthe second? And. if both are relieved,-what becomes of any reasoned system otrating? Obviously this ruling plays havocwith local body finances. There remainsa further important eonsidcrationi Allvalues are based upon the-law of supplyand demand. Traders with goods to sellmust bring their prices within reach of thepublic. If anyone asks an uneconomic rentfor his property, is he entitled to reliefif it goes begging? The actual worda ofSection 69 on which the ruling rests are:"Then such person shall be liable, to payonly half the amount which would other-wise be payable for the year's rates in re-spect of such dwelling-house or other build-ing." I submit first, Sir, that the implica-tion of land with the word* "dwelling-house or other buildings" is unwarranted,The land, without buildings, is, under anysystem of rating, already assessed for rates,and the Legislature had in mind simply-the additional rates imposed on improve-ments under the annual or capital valuesystem of rating. Where no rates arelevied on improvements, as under therating on unimproved values, none pan berebated. But even under the annual orcapital* value system of reting-there are,if the Court's ruling takes effect, unfairanomalies. If no further legal redress isobtained to ameliorate this/dangerous rul-ing, then recourse must be had to Parlia-ment without delay, ;to: either strike1 outthe offending section,69 altogether, or to soamend it that it clearly'^has no reference,in any shape or form,: with rating on theunimproved values pf-land.—•l nm, etc., ■R. A. GOSSE.

KARAKA BAY BUS(To th« Editor.)

Sir.—The 8,25 a.in: bus fvom/KarakaBay into tpwn.carries on an average 27sahool children from .Scorching Bay andKaraka Bay; then, it stop* to pick upchildren and-adults all:the way. to Seatoun.I think I amj-ight Unsaying'that the; bu»is licensed■# carry 32 passengers, bjit nineout of ten mornings it carries 83, If out-bus had been run by a private firm theCity Council would hove taken proceedingsagainst it long ago, It i* a crying sham<?to see those children .when they try tosqueeze out'at Seatonn, The bus-drivevdoes all ho can for them, but the adultsseem to think that the busfa run for themalone, and quite a number of them livewithin a few minutes' wall? of the tramcar.To make matters worse, tho City Councilproposes to drastically curtail our bus ser-vice, so that means tho 8,25 a.m. bus willbe even more crowded .than before, Ifthe City Couiicil, would run . the bus tosuit tho people ifwould pay. Why notrun a smaller busier the children alone?If they can do so at Eastbourne, why notat Karaka Bay?—l am, etc,

HOMES FOR THE PEOPLEThe claims pf Lower Wairarapa as a

solution of homes and work are submit-ted by a correspondent, "Cheaper Rent,"who' pictures city workers living on theseventy, miles of flat country between theLower Lake and Masterton, providingquick access waa given. He mentionspeople travelling between Melbourne andPort Phillip, 80 miles away, and thinkingnothing of it. "Cheaper Rent" states thatWellington people do not seem to realisethat the main cause of the prevailinghigh rents is the high price of land,timber, and labour. Mr, ColemauI'hillipg's idea of a tunnel between LowerLake and Day's Bay is stated as onemeans of getting over the hill difficulty,which would also allow istock to be ship-ped direct at Poiut Howard. An aero*piano would soon verify the opinion thattho distance in a direct line betweqfl thetwo points mentioned is only eleven miles;land then would bo nearer to the city thanUpper-Hutt.1 A-phase of dear houses, nq-ooi'dipg^ to the'■: correspondent, is the"silent" homes, childless!, homes createdby deifF -vqiitis, He urges :,that if! there wasproper drainage, hundreds of acres of theLower Lake could bo reclaimed,- and Wel-lington ■ workers could their threeacvejrjnd a cow, or. poultry ranches.

AMATEUR POLITCS

(To the Editor.)Sir,—l notice in your paper tlio cont-

inents of Mr. A, L, Martin, the Labourmember for Itaglnu. I should say per-sonally I would put Mr, Martin on apedestal, because I think he ia correctand is not afraid to voice his opinion. Weneed a business Government, and notparty hagglers, or in other words, amateurpoliticians. ,

Under the preaent conditions any. saneman can see the evil of the present sys-tem, to keep on taxing the people to meetthe deficiency in the Budget .which willhappen every year as loner as they keep anrvvmy of Civil servants going strong enoughfur the Civil Service pi' a country bearingten times the population,

The relief work seems to raise great pro-positions in Parliament, but what over?Would it not be better for the Govern-ment to call for tenders for some contrac-tors to do the Voadmukinß and road-laying,Hiiy, for instance, they allow the contrac-tors to make W per cent, more than theGovernment were prepared to j>ay? Thiswould be. cheaper, because the Governmentnover comes out right on any deal it goesin for. The tttipulations' of the tenderwould bo the contractor to draw all hislabour from the Government labour bu-roaux at ruling award rates of pay; touse nothing but what is produced in NewZealand in the contract, and to specify ncertain time to commence operations,which would alleviate the unemploymentat the worst time of the year. Thenugain, if the contractors wore making goodmoney, they would still have to' pay in-come tax, and any money required to dotliis should come out of the funds pro-vided by the Government or the MainHighways Board, or from capital borrowedwithin New Zealand. Then the reliefwork would be carried out with New Zen-land unemployed labour, using New Zea-land produce and money borrowed fromNew Zealand people within the country.jAt the same time the unemployed'wouldbo properly and profitably employed.

The two last petrol taxes have been

passed on a wrong footing, For commer-cial vehicles, marine and agricultural pur-poses; and for use of engines of the indus-trial type, the last two taxes should neverhave been imposed. Wo know in manycasfis it was not, and the tax on privatecurs should have been put on to make pet-rol 3s or over per gallon. It is a luxury,and people who require this luxury shouldhave to pay for it.—l am, etc.,

S. LEVIN,

MODERNISING HOMES

As a carpenter out of

_employment,

"Live and Let Live" writes: "As theworkers' loans seem to have* fallen flat, Iwould like to draw your attention to Mr.H. G. R. Mason's proposal on granting asubsidy to .modernise old homes. We haveonly to look around the city to see thenumbers of hovels that are not fit to livein. In most cases one can see the rough;lining through the weather-boarding. Alsothere are some small houses that makeone wonder how the people manage to livein them—some not more than eleven feetwide. Surely something could bo done to'better these living conditions, for noliving person can live in houses in suchconditions and enjoy good health. Sometwo and three-story houses, are coveredwith corrugated iron on the outside, andnot only unsightly but a disgrace to thecity. lam sure it would mean a lot tothe timber merchant if the iron was re-placed with New Zealand timber, as Ithink most of the owners of these housescan weir afford to do this, as the rentsuro no mere item, some paying £2 10sand £3 10s. Can any of your readersenlighten me if there is a board or com-mittee that investigates the soundness offoundations of two and three-storyhouses?"

THE SPANISH CLUB

A plea is made by a correspondent'forsupport of the Spanish' Club, which" hasbeen established to aid study of tho Span-ish language. "The Spanish-speakinglands of Central and South America, wherelive our nearest white non-English-speak-ing neighbours, are great : potential newmarkets for this Dominion, and the keyto' them is a knowledge of Spanish. Com-mercially the third most important of thewoi'ld's great business languages-*-secondonly to English and German—Spanish isprobably the most useful of all foreignlanguages for New Zealanders to learn,and it certainly is the easiest. Apartfrom its commercial value, few languageshave a richer literature more worthy ofstudy. "Don Quixote d« la Mancha,written by the immortal Cervantes, tomention but one example, v recognisedas one of the world's' grettstt classics.In oiir own day the works of the-lateSenor Ibanez have become world-famous,and deservedly so."

POINTS FROM LETTERS

The proposal of, Mr. W. J. Brpadfoot,M.P., to move an amendment to the Gam-ing Bill to provide for a State lottery »commended by "Bruce," who suggests thatMr. Broadfoot and members who supporthis proposal press for a referendum on thelottery proposal at the next election vParliament will not adopt it. *Referring to Bishop William/* calcula-tion of the expenditure on •musement «ndthe amount that a one-per-cent self-demalwould yield for mission purposes, Mr. »».Malton Murray suggests that a more de-sirable subject for self-denial .would be al-cohol, as its effects are more harmful thansport and other amusement, ,

Regarding tram stopping-places, Ji.Ji.174" writes: "An' alteration, m the stop-ping-place at Tringham street, Karon,_ hasjust been made, and for what reason it ishard to see. It is juet creating a situa-tion that you condemn in your remarks.Previously the crossing-place kept carsclear inside the crossing loop. Inow thestop is just out of the loop, and a carmust stop to make a crossing, then Prooeeaten to fifteen yards to-the stop. Thiscauses uncertainty ss.;,to the, correct stop-ping-place, and must'tend'to' nojo uptrams when crossings have to bo made,

"Play-Fare" complains of the praotieein some picture theatres in, fixing .pricesfor admission, and gives an example orbuyers of "rear-stall se»t» at 2» ?d beingshown to seats three rows from the front,though it wns said that front stalls atIs 6d and back stalls at 2b were sold out.

With reference to Bible-in-schopl* pro-posals, "Father of Four"* writes that em-phasis has been laid on the conscienceclause for parents, but what about theconscience of the children who we unableto think for themselves in deep matter*?"Why not allow the children to grow upto at least U years of age before worryingthem with what happens when wo aredead?" -LIVE AERO CLUB

Hawkes Bay secured most of theball, and.the backs were'frequently gentaway in passing rushes which generallylacked penetration, ;the Otago^ tacklingbeing good; . . .■ In tßfe second spell Otago secured a big-ger share of ,the, ball, and the last halfHour was crowded with spectacular inci-dents... , ' ■;■ '-.. ." v ■.

The visitingforwards were much heavierthan Otago,!l)ut. toward the-end they be-came sluggish; -and Otago's greater pacewon the match.- ■■Lindsay played a fine game at full-backfor Otago, and'Bradanovich was clever onattack. The forwards were an even lot.None of the visiting backs was outstand-ing; Wilson, C. Brownlie, and Campbellwere the best of the forwards.

Taranaki defeated North Auckland atStratford yesterday by 24 points to 9, ina rather poor game. Speculative kickingwas rife, and the. tackling was not all itshould have been in representative foot-ball. The backs simply could not get go-ing. , /'Scrappy play marked the openingstages,and things were dull, with North Auck-land breakaways swamping all attempts atback movements. When the packs warmedto their work brighter football was wit-nessed. The second spell was better, andthe -last twenty minutes good enough toplease the crowd. 'Taranaki's success wasdue to good defence and the speed of thebacks. Tho visitors were superior in theforwards. ' , • . -

BUILDERS' WORK

NEW AWARD SOUGHT

HIGHER WAGES, SHORTERHOURS

'An application for a new award wasmade in the ArbitrationCourt yesterdayby the Builders and Contractors' Unionof Workers. Tho proposed new awardhad been considered by the ConciliationCouncil) and an agreement was arrivedat in regard to most o£ the clauses; cer-tain provisions, including hours and pay,were, however, referred to tho Court.

Mr* W.. J. Mountjoy appeared . forthe Wellington Builders and Contrac-tors' Union of Employers, and Mr. P. M.Butler for the workers' union.

An was made for the par-tial exemption -of the Wanganui Har-bour Board; also for exemption of theWellington Bacing Club. It was statedthat the Bacing Club had never beenbound by the award, some of the pro-visions of which would inconveniencethe club. Oncertain occasions men wererequired to work before and after theordinary hours, particularly oa racedays.

The Court reserved its judgment onthese applications for exemptions.

The question of whether exemptionsor partial exemptions should be grantedto boroughs and county councils wasraised, and hia Honour Mr. JusticeFrazer remarked that the Court had re-cently been engaged in granting specialawards to many of these local bodies.

Outlining the, application for the newaward, Mr. Butl.er urged that the claimsof tho workers were just. They askedfor a forty-hour week.

REFERENCES OBJECTED TO.Mr. Butler was■ proceeding to com-

ment on past judgments of the Courtwhen his Honour pointed out that someof th^e remarks were irrelevant and incertain cases improper. These sentenceswere accordingly struck out of the pre-pared statement.

Mr. Butier: "The remarks are not in-tended to-Tbe so." , . ,

His Honour: "I cannot take .them inany other way. This 3a the first ap-pearance of Mr.| Butler in support of anew award. He must realise that theCourt has its own' judgments, prece-dents, and .methods; and has the:Actbehind it. The.Oouft ha3been follow-ing on, certain lines for years.. Whatgood purpose can now be served by an'advocate traversing the whole; past his-tory of the Court?" '■■■'■Mr. Butler subsequently proceededto comment on certain provisions of thelaw and their effect on the workerswhen his Honour remarked that Mr.Butler's remarks were political ratherthan anything else. An ofil award hadbeen made, containing certain condi-tions, and an advocato claiming a newaward should show why.the now condi-tions asked for should W granted.. MINIMUM OF 2s 6d AN HOUR.

Mr. Butler then dealt at length withthe question of hqurs and the condi-tions of work. Many authorities andwriters on economics were quoted. Hecontended that ,the industry was abloto bear the shorter hours and increased:pay asked for.

Generally," the demands included the.frllowiug:—

Wago rates varying from 2s 6d to",'is an hour.

Doublerates for/overtime, Sundays,and holidays.

Workers in oxposed. places or in(imnelling to be allowed a hot drink

nc bo given time off to prepare such.. Increased pay for men working on. high buildjings.An annual holiday of ,12 days.

The wages and conditions of' thebuilding industry in Wellington weredealt with in"detail. :

Tho employers generally ask for arenewal of the existing award.

BETTERMENTA NATIONAL MATTER

LOCAL BILL OPPOSED

The question of betterment was dis-cussed last night ,:by a'specially .calledmeeting of/the council of the Welling-ton Civic League,; the 'president, Mr.D. G.. Clark'presiding.

The chairman detailed;the decisionsreached by the executive of, tileleague which he placed I)eforo .themeeting. , The executive was not op-posed to tho jrinciplo of betterment,,provided that its details .were such aswould impose no injustice' or. unduehardship. Personally ho did not con-sider that the Bill should proceed with-out further deep consideration. Failingthe passage of the Bill at present, tholeague might offer amendments to it.

Mr. F. W. Downs \(E,oseneath) saidthat all the principal parts of Welling-ton had been bettered, and bettermentwould1 fall heavily* on the remainingparts., Kclburn for instance, -wouldhave to find little betterment, but itwould fall heavily on the smaller andpoorer districts. If it wore a .na-tional Bill no injustice'would be done.

Mr.T. M.Dpuovan said the Bill wouldbo far reaching. Property might godown in certain localities, andties which had1 not progressed better-ment would fall heavily on ratepayers.It was difficult to find a local Bill thatwould do justice to urban and siirbur-ban areas at the same time. A Gov-ernment' Bill could_ deal with allphases impartially. He moved that inthe opinion of the meeting tho quos-tion of , betterment should be dealtwith by a national and not by a localBill, and tho motion was carried.

It was decided to take steps tofurther this view, and that the league'scouncil combine with other bodies intho city to take tho matter to Parlia-ment, members of Parliament to beadvised of the course taken, and thatthe secretary take steps to co-operatewith other bodies in this action.

ASTKONOMY FOR GIRLGUIDES

JO MAKE A MODEL OF THESOLAR SYSTEM

(By "Omega Centaur!.")

Many of the numbers expressingtimes, distances, and other quantities,that we meet with continually in astro-nomy, are so enormousthat it is exceed-ingly difficult to form an adequate con-ception of them. When we consider eventhe Solar System we begin to experi-ence some difficulty, although it is butft speck in. the majestic galaxy whichis itself but a single unit in the vasthierarchy of the spiral nebulae. Thedistances of the planets from the sunBink into utter insignificance when wethink of the vast spaces between theindividual stars and the far greaterones that separate cosmic systems; butthey are usually given in millions ofmiles. Now, whilst we talk freely ofmillions, billions, or trillions, We some-times fail to realise what a large hum-ber even a single million is, and howmuch a billion transcends it.A concreteillustration is often a help. For in-•tanee in making forty complete jour-

fceyswound the world we should travelless" than a million miles. If we wereable to visit the moon and if we made,two journeys there and back, we shouldstill have to circumnavigate the earthonce or twice to complete a millionmiles. Another fact that is hard torealise with regard to the Solar Sys-tem is its remarkably open structure.Eyeri;:the greatest planets are minuteins comparison with the distances be-tween them. The masses are very widelyspread. If we try to draw a diagramof? the system to scale we find that weea'tthot represent the sizo of the sun,for;.gigantic as that body is, it shrinks■to.ij. point in our drawing.; .An orrery is very misleading, forthoj-sizes of the bodies are grossly ex-aggerated and the distances dwarfed.To .secure a truer mental picture of thosystehi it is a good plan to make amodel of it. In doing so it is convenientto ;ma,ke a yard represent d, millionmiles. The sun will then be representedby :;a globe thirty inches in -diameter.All the models of the planets and-theirsatellites constructed on the same scalecould be packed, with plenty of roomto spare, in an ordinary chalk box, sixincjies by four by three. This will helpBs;'io realise how small the planets arewhpn compared with the sun. Al-tiough the sun is only a quarter asdense as the earth, yet its mass exceedsthait of all the planets, their satellites,thb'j comets, and the meteorites togetherWore than seven hundred times.i'li'et us now make or select models

i or;itheplanets and' their satellites. Thenio'onwill be represented by a tiny beadeiie'-thirteenth of an inch in diameter.A bead one-tenth ofan inch in diameterwill stand for Mercury, and one-half aslarge again for Mars. Peas slightlymorethan a quarter of an inch in diameter■will serve for Venus and the earth,th;& latter being a shade larger thanthe; former. Uranusl and Neptune mayfce!-;large marbles one and a tenth, andene and. a fifth inches in diameter. ForSaturn we require a sphere ratherIsir^er than a tennis ball. Its diametershould be two and three-quarter inches.The belts can be represented by a ring

of cardboard 6} inches in diameter. Acricket ball will do for Jupiter, thoughit is a shade too small. The diametershould be three and one-sixth inches.The satellites of the different planetscan be represented by beads or grainsof sand. The next thing to decide ishew to arrange our models. We see atonce that we cannot fasten them onwires if our scale is to be true. Thebox in which they can all carry outtheir appropriate movements must per-force be imaginary. To construct

_a

material one of the correct dimensionswould indeed be a Herculean task. Wemust now picture the little bead thatstands for Mercury passing once aroundthe model sun in a little less than 88days. The peas that act for Venus andithe earth must move round their orbitsin 225 days and one year at mean dis-tances of 67 and 93 yards respectivelyfrom the model sun. Meanwhile thebead which stands for the moon mustcircle the model earth at a distance of8J inches about thirteen times a year.The mean distance of our model ofMars is 141 yards. At such a distanceit would be quite invisible. In the greatbelt beyond Mars over eleven hundredgrains of sand maybe used to representthe asteroids.' Away beyond these themodels of the larger planets are stillmore lonely, sAlthough as large as mar-bles, tennis and cricket balls,we cannotsee them except in the mind's.eye. Themodels of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, andNeptune must pass round the model sunat distances of 483, 886, 1783, and 2793yards respectively, taking 12, 29, 84,and nearly 165 years for each revolu-tion. Now let us consider the size andshape ofthe imaginarybox to hold ourworking model. If it is to accommodate

Neptune it must be more than threemiles in diameter. If Pluto is includedits diameter must be increased probablyto at least 4J, miles. As the orbitsare not in the same plane the box mustbe 88 yards deep. In shape it will belike a gramophone disc, a hundredtimes as wide as it is thick.• The diagrams are intended to illus-trate some of these facts. In the bot-tom right-hand corner we show the rela:tivo sizes'of the sun and the planets.Mercury, .Venus, the eath, and Marsare so small that, they can bo shownonly as dots. To the left of this, dia-gram a series of concentric circles showthe apparent sizo of the sun as seenfrom tho different planets. From Nep-tune and Pluto it will have shrunk un-til it appears only as a brilliant star.. Above these diagrams wo show therelative sizes of tho planetary orbits.To tho left those of the inner planetsonly appear. On the right, by reduc-ing the scale to one-twentieth, thoseof Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Nep-tune'are shown. That of Pluto has notyet been determined with sufficient cer-tainty. When we have a clear mentalpicture of the model we must imagineit magnified 1760 million times. Eachinch now becomes a good deal morethan the whole length of the equator,each foot a distance nearly half as longagain as from the earth to the moon.The little beads, peas, marbles, and cric-ket balls are transformed into the grandplanet family, and the 30in globe hasgrown into a sun, two and three-quartermillion miles in circumference, a thirdof a, million times as massive as theearth, and I,3oo,ooo,times its volumno.

If we have pictured the emptiness ofour box of models we shall now havesome idea of tho marvellously openstructure of the solar system. Our boxwas 4} miles in; diameter and 88 yardsin depth. The 30in globe was in itscentre, and the contents of a small chalkbos were scattered through the rest ofit, spread about in an area.of about 63square miles. In the real solar, systemthe distances which separate the ob-jects are 1760 million times as greatas those in the models.

HADRIAN'S WALLITHBEAT FROM QUARftY

ANTIQUARIES ROUSED

i&idrian's Wall, in Northumberland,W-h'ich in ancient days withstood the in-tdads of barbarism and'tor centuries hasoffered a stqut resistance to time and•weather, is now threatened with violencein; a new form. It is proposed, says aI'ejient number of "The Times" weeklyedition, to carry out extensive nuarryingoperations in the .Boil on whiqh it stands,it!: company is, it is understood, to' beformed for this purpose, and work over alarge area is proposed. While a threat toiufth a monument as Hadrian's Wall isai'matter for national rather than localconcern,. the first protest that it has pro-irp'.ked comes from the Society of Anti-quaries of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Thistody has passed a resolution setting forththat:— . .(.'"The council of the Society of Anti-

quaries, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, learn withBlpch concern that a company is beingpro-moted to quarry the whinsill dyke inthe neighbourhood o£ Shields-on-the-Wall,Pele Crag, and Housesteads, in Northum- jberland, including five miles of the finest

of the Wall, and also of the mostcharacteristic Wall scenery. ...;!"Much of the Wall is already destroyed,

fcjrt this section includes the finest remain-ing stretch. This and the wild countryto the north of it should be acquired bythe State and maintained by H.M. Officeof! Work's, and the amenities of the districtflight be preserved, by making it n, nationalpark. Although the Wall is scheduled as:a'Si ancient monument, it appears that thepresent Ancient Monuments .Frotection.Ajbts are insufficient to protect it from(fetich an attack. If so, the State shouldtake legislative action. ... Of all themonuments in Britain this is of premierimportance not only to the student of Ro-mnn history, but also to all of us who in-habit this land which once formed part€ii:, the Roman Empire."i : ELABORATE PLANS.; Inquiries into the scheme show that it isAlaimed for the whinsill dyke betweenShields-on-the-Wall and Housesteads thatit icontains road-making materials of thevery finest quality. Elaborate plans forthe actuiil quarrying of it have beendrawn up. Arrangements have been madealso for cable transport to a point nearHaltwhistle station and for quay accom-modation at Gatesheatl for unloading bitu-men from abroad, and for the export ofthe prepared material. It is estimated byMf. F. Wake, the promoter of the scheme,that the nmoimt of whinstone in the areaacquired may be reckoned at 1,000,000,000tons; and he is reported to have a con-cession for working it for 21 years, with

the option of an extension of a furtherlike period. The proposal is to proceedat the rate of 200 working days a year,getting 1000 tons a 'day, or 200,000 tons ayear; and it is estimated that about one-quarter of an acre yearly will be the areaquarried. At this rate, in the 42 years, 10%acres only would have been worked.

On' the other hand, it has also beenestimated that this area of one-quarter ofan acre would be 400ft deep, and thatthere may be many points in the five-milestretch where that depth will be reach-ed; but the average depth, it is claimed,will probably be very much less, so thatthe statement' that in 42 years' work 10%acres would be worked over by the quarry-men may be misleading. Again, if thematerial has its reputed value, there seemsto be little reason why the demand for itshould not so increase that workingswould ,be begun in many places on thedyke.

The projected quarrying would be at-tended by the erection of high steel build-ings for receiving and grading the stone,and they would be covered with galvanisedsheeting. The process of grading, beingnoisy, would do much to disturb the peaceof the countryside; while the buildingsthemselves would 'inevitably disfigure thelandscape. It appears that if the projectwere pushed to its natural conclusion along stretch of the most beautiful andcharacteristic scenery through which theWall and Hallum run, together with thefort at Hoiisesteads, the Borcovicus of Ro-man times, lately presented by Mr. J. M.Clayton to the National Trust, would bethreatened with obliteration. The slopesleading up to the Wall would be markedby quarries, while the Wall itself would beleft on the summit of steep cliffs, a mean-ingless object, inaccessible from the south,and having no relation to the formation ofthe country^ which influenced those whochose the site on which it was built.Hadrian's Wall was scheduled as a na-tional monument in 1928. Much successhas lately attended the excavations whichhave been carried on in the neighbourhoodof Newcastle andWallsend with a viewto uncovering the east end of it. House-steads was systematically excavated in 1822and 1898. .

MUSIC WEEKEXCELLENT BROADCASTS

BUT WERE THEY POPULAR ?

There is every probability that lastweek's broadcasts of the WellingtonMusic Week will be the subject of muchmore discussion than they have alreadyaroused. Whether the organisers of themusical festival were "rise in making■"one hundred per cent" use of broad-casting is for them to worry about.Whether the listeners liked the pro-grammes is for the Broadcasting Com-pany to consider as a guide in future.jit will probably "be found that theywere not, on the whole, a great success.Even for the purposes of the festivalitself there are many who consider thatthe programmes could have been bet-ter chosen, and should have beenlighter. As "broadcast music, many ofthe items were too long and scholarly.It can bo assumed that people who at-tend aconcert go prepared tohear whathas been announced for performance;if they do not like the prospect theycan stay away,. The broadcaster'severlasting problem is to please themultitude if he can, and he fcnows thatthe vast majority will not appreciatewhat a select audience will ra,Ye over.He counts himself virtuous if he canavoid falling into the opposite trap ofsupplying too much musical rubbish,and can not only avoid this treacheryto art, but induce his hearers to toler-ate and finally to embrace a liberal sup-ply of really goodmaeac. Success in thisendeavour has to be delicately sought,but it can be attained. It cannot bodone by too heavy an attack, and it isprobable that the music week pro-grammes have ibeenof no great servicein converting the Philistines.

Comment was made last week on theimproved quality of the broadcastingshown by 2YA during so much of MusicWeek as had passed. This improve-ment was maintained throughout the|week, and in some opinions even in-creased; and this waa all the strangerseeing that the Town Hall hag labouredunder the reputation of being a "badrelay." It appears that no alterationswhatever were made at 2YA in pre-paration for the Mnsic Week series;but that something was done was abun-dantly evident, and one is driven to thoconclusion that for once in a long whilethere was a happy placing of micro-phones which dealt far more justlywith concerted items than usual. Themicrophone used for solo items in thebig hall could have been moved withadvantage; in a number of items itfavoured the soloist too much and leftthe accompaniment too weak.

The improvement in the output of2YA during Music Week, on the ab-sence of any change of equipment,should convince anyone that the ear-lier defects were due to errors in the■use of the apparatus, and these shouldnot be allowed to recur. It is disap-pointing -to find that the studio trans-missions do not show a correspondingimprovement, orchestral items beingthin and poor, and the articulation ofvocal quartets indefinite. 2YA, themost powerful New Zealand station,and by far the most costly, should notbe allowed to retain its present distinc-tion of producing the poorest qualityof the YA! group. It would be a goodidea if a few "silent nights" could beused for experiments on improving thestudio technique, by making a series ofexperimentalbroadcasts with one of thestation orchestras and a group of sing-ers. ' Tests with a gramophone are ofno use for the purpose.

CANADIAN RADIO

POLITICAL BEOADCASTS

(From "The Post's" Representative.)VANCOUVER, 23rd July.

It costs money to cheer a candidatewhen he is addressing a meeting nowa-days. Cheers, take time, and the can-didate, more often than not, is havinghis speech broadcast over the radio atso much an hour- . '.

The recent General Election in Can-ada saw an almost universal use of theradio. There were trans-Canadabroad-casts, provincial broadcasts, and localbroadcasts. A Dominion'wide broad-cast costs £400 an hour, or over &Q aminute. The result of such a wide useof the radio is that the elector hasheard all the arguments of the lead-ers in the first few days, and speakersare hard put to find new arguments.On the other hand, the listener-in hasa grouch about too much politicalcampaigning by the radio, especiallyin the evening when he wants a littlebright music or other . diversion toease his mind and his nerves after ahard day's work. The campaign hasrun six, weeks. There is a generalcall for the campaign in future to runnot more -than two weeks.

The radio was first widely used forpolitical campaigning in the last Presi-dential election in the "United States.Both Mr. Hoover and Mr. Smith usedit for coast-to-cpast hook-ups frequent-ly. Even here in Vancouver, time andagain we heard Al Smith, simulating ashocked expression, pleading with Msaudiences, not to interrupt his speecheswith cheers, because cheers cost moneyon. the "raddio," as the Happy War-rior pronounces it. "Save them tillthe end,"he would urge.

THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD!

Tribute to "Baxter's."When the "Barter's" ad. man was

in Nelson the other day, he was intro-duced to a prominent land salesman."Oh, yes, you're the chap that doesthose tricky little paragraphs aboutBaxter's Lung Preserver," said theman who advocates real estate. "Well,you can tell your people that I have tothank them for pulling off a jolly goodsale the other day. I had a most im-portant appointment, and I woke upin tho morning with a wretched sorethroat--in fact Icould hardly speak. 1thought to myself "Here goes myjhance of pulling off a sale to-day."On the way to keep the appointment Iilroppcd into a chemist's and got ahottle of "Baxter's." The effect wasmagical. By the time I got there mythroat had cleared up again, and I wasable to use my voice to such good pur-pose that I brought off tho sale. I mustsay, too, that the new screw cap is agood idea. It saves the blessed corkFrom coming out and the mixture goinginto one's pocket."

The experience of the land agent hasbeen endorsed in NewZealand by thous-ands of people for the last sixty years.Baxter's Lung Preserver is a good old-r .hioned remedy that does good fromthe first dose, and also acts as a tonic,it is a rich, red, soothing compoundthat relieves sore throats andbronchialnilments in a wonderful way. You can•»et a generous-sized bottle of "Bax-ter's" from any chemist or storefor 2aid. Economical mothers buy the large'araily size at 4s 6d, while an eight-cenpenny bottle has been put np for

| bachelors.—Advt.

followed a1different method. There, asthe radio is under a Government-controlled corporation, which gets itsrevenue from licences, only limitedradio time is available for politicalspeeches. In Mr. Lloyd George's un-employment campaign especially, a ser-ies of halls in diflißJrJßnt towns wouldbe linked by telephone wires and thespeech carried by amplifiers from onehall to tho rest. Properly speaking,although the audience was multipliedmany times, the speaker'was not "onthe air "at all.

LECTURE ON WIRELESS

Lower Hutt enthusiasts had an op-portunity on Monday evening last ofgaining further information on mat-ters pertaining to "Wireless Telegra-phy," when Mr. Aj Gibbs, Chief Tele-graph Engineer, addressed an appreci-ative gathering. She speaker explain-ed many problems which had. puzzledlocal listeners. Hiss explanation of theassistance which cojnld be given to airmachines, regarding the direction offlight desired, by means of time sig-nals from wireless stations, was a spe-cial item of interest. It was possiblefor a machine to rpaintain a. correctcourse under any 'conditions if it fol-lowed the line of -tjlie signals.

At the conclusion of the lecture, Mr.H. A. Pargetter moved a heartyvote ofthanks to the speaker. Several itemswere rendered during the evening andsupper concluded : a very interestingentertainment. It is hoped'to have an-other lecture of tMs nature at a laterdate.

FUNNY MAN

(To "G^id Bias.")

Sir,—Many people are complaining ofthe poor quality ,of the broadcastingprogrammes. Perhaps the programmesare both good aiidt bad, but is it notthe feet that tho«j who are loudest intheir complaints; are really sufferingfrom the effects of. a surfeit of wire-less? They switcjfa on their sets at 3o'clock in the ai£ternooh; and do notturn them off a;£ain until the stationsigns off. Is it any wonder that theyarc suffering from radio indigestion,and, feeling ill themselves, think ill ofeverything they liear over the wireless?The Eadio Broadcasting Companyso arranges its! programmes as tohave one silent night at each stationonce aweek. Womld not theprogrammesbe more perfect if the silence weremultiplied by seven?—l am, etc.,

A KADIO DYSPEPTIC.

COLOUR BLINDNESS.Hitherto condidereil not only incur-

able, but unconevectable, red and greencolour-blindness may no longer be oneof those abnormalities of vision whichhave always p fizzled eyesight special-ists. While cplonr-blindness, if con-genital, may never be eradicated as aphysical anomaJy, it may be eliminatedas a handicap in life by special lensesrecently inventjed by Professor Weidertof the Berlin 'Technical School. Thospecial glass ivsed accomplishes its pur-pose by the inaarporation of the chemi-cals, prasebdyraium and necdymium,which filter scano of the spectral col-ours of light passing through glass. Thefullest- action (>£ these chemicals is seenin the orange-jrellow range between thered and green, thus exaggerating thecontrast and :aissisting the colour.-blindto distinguish between them. Tempor-ary pathologiisal colour-blindness—usu-ally for the^ greens; and blues—comesunder another ■category. Relief for suchdifficulties often comeß only through re-moving the cause which sometimes isa centre of infection. . *A wireless j'pnrnal in Paris, the "HautParleur" ("Loiltd Speaker"), has concludedan inquiry intjo the tastes of listenerswhich reveals isome unexpected prefer-ences. Its readers were asked to signifythe solo instalment which they preferredabove all othejes. The violin received thesecond largest; number of votes, with 996to its credit. !Nest came_ the 'cello, with984. Some distance behind came theHawaiianguitar, with 488, the cornet with310, the flute 204, the bugle with 188,and the saxojAone with 128. And whatwas first choice? Why, the accordion, ofcourse. It reiteived 1102 votes.

"Here's luckHhe said, and raised his glass,"Goodhealth wherever you be.

BY "PmACTICAL"any time, liut it is wise to avoid mid-winter planting, especially in cold, wetdistricts. From 18 to 20 inches apartshould provide sufficient room for thefull development of the plants.

"■■-■ The addition of old lime, mortar, andcharcoal, also wood ashes, during thepreparation of the soil will prove bene-ficial.' Overhead dustings with woodashes during .winter or wet weatherwill do much .to keep the plants healthyarid free from various fungoid diseases.Always plant firmly and never placethe young, plants deeper, than the firstpair Of' leaves. After planting, waterwell to set the soil round the roots.Do not allow the plants to suffer fromdrought during a dry spell, but at thesame time over-watering-is fatal. Car-nations \prefer to bo kept ■a' little on.the dry side. . .

frequent but shallow cultivationshould be carried out, while. a mulchof /rotted manure during summer willkeep theroots cool'and add to the fer-tility of the soil. To get sturdy, bushyplants, do not allow them, to rush intobloom too quickly. Break out the lead-ing .shoots ;to encourage side: growths.Do not harbour old-age pensioners—-al;ways propogate a few plants each sea-son to keep up a suceession'of healthy.vigorous stock.;■- Cuttings strike readily.,in ...spring or.autumn^ the best cuttings being healthyside shoots about three or. four incheslong torn off with a:heel. Eemove .thelower leaves, and trim the: heel a*nd in-sert .firmly in a well-drained, pot-orbox of'sand, watering them' well whenfirst inserted. Place in a shady-posi-tion away from direct sunlight. ' It isimportant! that the cuttings are neverallowed to wilt—if:they do they seldom'recover,and .form roots* The best planis to raise the cuttings in a'cold framewhere they- are protected from dry;ing winds and where it is easier^ tokeep the'soil uniformly moist.. In lift-(ing therooted cuttings, great care mustbe taken not to break off the youngroots. Use a trowel to lift them, andplant direct from tho trowel into the

Hole. In this way all danger of dam-age to'the young fibrous roots will beavoided.

SATURDAY'S GAMES

INTERESTING FIXTURES

Several important games will be play-ed on Saturday. The Wcslcy-Kia Orainateh will bo watched with interest, asWesley depends on the winning of thisfixture to give them undisputed leadfor the championship of the senior Agrade. If Wesley loses this game, 'Wel-lington East will bo even with them onpoints, and as both of Wesley's defeatsof Wellington East have been by verynarrow margins, their position for theplace of honour would be seriously jeo-pardised. After Wesley's defeat at thehands of Technical 0.G., it is quite pos-sible thatKia Ora mayprove too strong,especially as this team had no difficultyin putting up a large score ■ againstTechnical O.G. a, couple of weeks ago.One thing is oortaiu---tliegame will be avory fast and interesting one to watch.

Woljington East will meet Technical0,G., and much is expected of boththeso nines. If Technical can retainthe standard of play they stowed them-selvCß capablo of in their previousmatch, Wellington East will have noeasy task to dispose of th'ein.

Judging by University's improvementof late, Training College will have tolpok to their laurels if they wish torepeat their \viu of. the first round.

With Awatea and T. Gym both play-ing a much fastor game, this contestalso should provide plenty of entertain-ment,

In the senior B grade a most unusualposition has arisen, no fewer than fourteams having tied for first place in sec-tion 2. This necessitates semi-final andfinal games to decide the winner, whowill then meet Bryinay, winner of sec-tion 1,for the championship.

Wesley Nauma^i and Newtown O.G.are equal in the section 1, third grade,and the semi-final will be played onSaturday.

The.finals of the fourth, fifth, sixth,and seventh grad.es will also be con-tested, and should all prove interestinggames. Good, fast, and even matchesshould be seen in all grades this week.

NEW ZEALAND NEWS.Signs, are not wanting of the contin-

ued increase of interest in basketballthroughout New Zealand. Almost allprovincial associations report increases,and few indeed^ decreases. A good sign,too, is the, constant inquiry receivedby tho New Zealand Association forinformation a.s to.rules, indicating thatincreasingly js 'there a uniform codethroughout the Dominion. This sea-son inquiries have been received fromthe King Country, Manaia, Wairoa,Matawai, a,n,d other small districts forrules and general information. Mata-wai is 4(5 miles frosf), Gisborne, and thereara several sniftU i;townships near, sothey are hoping to form themselves in-to a Bub-aasQciation of Poverty Bay.Wairoa, between Gisborno and Napier,is pot very accessible to either place,so the solution geems to be a separ-ate association. Hamilton and Waimatehave also been inquiring about affili-ation, and Nelson has been orderingrule-books, so there are signs in largercentres of a desire for better organ-isation.

Auckland has again made greatstrides. Its registrations have jumpedfrom 57 to 88, and courts arc now aproblem there, .as with Wellington.

Wellington has*nominated Miss E.Armstrong an'd1'Auckland Miss P. Lee

as referees for the New Zealand toiiruament. .......

Hawkqs Bay has nominated Miss D.R. Cruuipton (Hastings) and Mrs.Boyco (Napier) as referees.

Delegates from Wellington are .Mrs,H. D. Muir and Miss M. E. Armstrong.

Delegates from Hawkes Bay arc MissD, X, Orumpton and Mr. Boyce.

Delegates from Canterbury are Mrs.W. Brown and Miss. W. Brown.

Mips MacKenzie and Mrs.M'Farlanowill represent Otago.

Napier is applying to N.Z.B. Councilto be allowed to become a separate as-sociation instead q! a sub-associationof Hawkos Bay. ; ■There is a new sjsspeiation at IJoto-rua; they are entering a team for thotournament. Poverty Bay and Botoruawill be the two new teams this year.

Thirteen teams have entered this yearand the tournament will be played intwo sections, the following seven teamsin A section: Auckland, Southland,South Canterbury, Hawkes Bay, Marl*borough, Taranaki,-and Wairarapa, andsix teams in B section: Wellington,Otago, Eotorua, Poverty Bay, Canter-bury, and Manawhenua.

The original dates have been alteredslightly to meet the wishes of Welling-ton and Otago. Teams will now arrivein Hastings on Friday, 29th August, sec-tion A will begin matches on Saturdaymorning, and both sections will continuein the afternoon. The draw has notyet been received from Hawkes Bay,but it is most probable that Bemi-finalswill be played on Wednesdaymorning, 3rd September, and finalsin the afternoon. Delegates mayhave to reniairii on Thursday forany other business. In any case, South-land must remain on Thursday, asthey can only, return .straight throughleaving either. Wednesday or Friday;Hawkes Bay may of course wish for afree morning or afte-rnoon, in whichcase games would bo played on Thurs-day. It is most regrettable from, theirpoint of view that the finals cannot boplayed on a Saturday as tos done lastyear. Leaving the finals until Saturday,6th September, would make it impos-sible for some delegates to attend, as,their holidays finish then. 'The New Zealand Executive sendout questionnaires each year asking forinformationregarding the number ofteams each association haß registered.To date the following has been receiv-ed: Poverty Bay, 25 teams.; Maribor-ough, 14;■ Auckland, 84; Manawhenua,14 Southland, 54.

THE RED CROSS

AFTER SIXTY YEARS

HUGE AMOUNT SUBSCRIBED

The following cable message wasrecently received at New Zealand BedCross Headquarters' from Sir ArthurStanley, chairman of the British BedCross Society in England: —

"On Bth August, 1870, an appeal wasissued by ColonelLoyd Lindsay (after-wards Lord Wantage) for money to helpthe sick and wounded in the Franco-Prussian War. The appeal was madein the name of the National Aid So-ciety, of which Queen Victoria becamepatrqn and the Prince of Vales presi-dent of the Central Committee. Fromthe beginning the society was lookedupon as the British' Bed Cross, so ithappens that on Bth August, 1930, tbeBritish Red Cross is celebrating its dia-mond jubilee. Sixty years is no greatage, it is true, in the life of a nationalinstitution, but a proper occasion onwhich to look back upon the past andforward to the future. On lookingback one cannot help being struck by.tlio wonderful generosity of the Britishpublic, who between 1870 anc! the pre-sent day—including the Great War,when the main activities of the BritishBed Cross Society were carried out inconjunction with the Order of St. John—have subscribed well over £23,000,----000 for its work. We may perhaps beallowed to take this generous supportgiven .to us by the public as an indica-tion that we have filled a useful placein the community, and that our effortsin ministering to the sick and suffer-ing of the naval, military, and airforces of the Crown as the agents ofthe public have met with their ap-proval. In looking forward we see aneven greater and ever expanding fieldfor Bed Cross work and workers. OurBoyal Charter has been enlarged, andjjow includes the prevention of disease,the improvement of health, and themitigation of suffering throughout theworld. It is a great endeavour, andits appeal to the hearts and minds ofall classes of His Majesty's subjectswas shown by the- British Empire ReelCross Conference held in London in.May of this year when Bed Crossworkers and representatives Eiom allparts of His Majesty's Dominions andcolonies pvcraeas met the Red Cross ofthe Mother Country, and after discus-sion of. our different problems- and dif-ficulties parted strengthened and en-couraged to carry on the work, not forour own country alone, but for the wholeBritish Empire. Let us go forward,then, in the true spirit of the RedCross, helping when we can, succour-ing where succour is needed, ever re-membering that wo are only the chan-nel through which British generosityand kindness of heart How to thosewho aro in suffering and distress, andthat our responsibility is great."—Stanley, chairman.

ACCLIMATISATION

WEMJtfaTON SQCIETF

The Counfejl of the Wellington Ac-olimatieation Society met last evening,Mr. L. O. H. Tripp presiding.

A statement showing that 1978 fish-ing licences had. bee,s sold in the so-ciety 's district during the past seasonwas forwarded;; by thq Controller ofAccounts, V. and T. Theproceeds amounted to £1564 15s, andtiie Department's commission at Is alicence was1; £98 18a. Progress pay-ments totalling £1800 had been madeto the society, and the balance of£165 17s had been lodged to the creditof the society.

The appointment of Mr. L. B. Bel-lajny as stamping officer in the Wel-lington district was notified by the De-partment of Internal Affairs. The De-partment also forwarded an extractfrom the "New Zoaland Gazette" con-taining a warrant romoving protectionfrom deer in *he Buller acclimatisationdistrict. •. •Mr, A. S. Wilkinson, caretaker ofKapiti Island, wrote to the effect thata wild duck which usually rested infront of his house had been away for aconsiderable time, and he was afraidthat it had been shot.' Howover, it hadturned up again, evidently preparingfor the nesting season.

Recently the secretary of the so-ciety wrote,to Mr. J. Dobson, of Pekeno,Auckland, asking if he could make anysuggestions in regard to increasing thenumber of game birdfi. Mr. Dobson,who has made a study of the subject,wrote a lettier in reply, which concludedwith the following remarks: "The posi-tion is that'if you want to make gamea success in New Zealand you musthave vermin killed. If you want vor-min, go on as you are doing." 'SHOOTING OF PUKEKOS.

The shooting of pukekos during thelast fortnight of the season, as recom-mended by South Wairarapa, was dis-cusgod at some length, opinions differ-ing as to the amount of damage done bythe birds. ' The majority of memberswere unanimous that it was far betterto continuo in the same way as at pro-sent, to issue permits to shoot pukokoßwhere it was proved conclusively thatthey wore doing extensive damage, Thobirds woro stated to be increasing Innumbers. It was decided not to makeany alteration in the present restric-tions.

Itwns reported that motor-boats wereharassing birds on lakes and riverß,swans particularly being given no rest.The meeting, while' recognising thatlittle could be dono in the matter aatho law stood atf present, agreed thatsome stops should bo taken to protecttho birds, and it was resolved to go intotho question at an early date.

A ijrocnv, giving evidence in thoArbi-tration Court yesterday, said that al-though his firm bought its goods mostadvantageously, there hadreccntly beena falling-oft" in sales, and.that ftilling-off was stated by- workers to be duo totheir getting less wages. Ho maintain-ed that the prices of groceries to-daywere equal to those of 1926.

HOME AGAINTHE BRITISH FARMERS

IMPRESSIONS ABROAD

LIFE IN NEW ZEALAND

(From "The Post's" Representative.)•ownf-mci 'NOCINOISeveral members of tho Farmers'

Party which toured New Zealand arccontributing articles or interviews tothe provincial papers. These are mainlyii the nature-of a diary of events, buthere and there are to be found com-ments and criticisms which may be ofinterest to those who were lately theirhosts.

Mr. Charles Powell stood at his doorat White Crag Farm, Timble. He saidto the reporter: "Australia and NewZealand are great and glorious coun-tries, but I've.never seen anything tobeat this as yet."

One thing that amazed Mr. Powell inNew Zealand was the large amount ofthistles. Never, he said, has he seenso many, with tho seed blowing aboutlike a snowstorm. Yet the farmers didnot appear to think anything of it.

"The exorbitant cost of labour,"writes Mr. Clifford W. H. Glossop, inthe■ ■'' Yorkshire Post," is one of theprincipal reasons why so much land isnot being farmed to its utmost capacity.There is plenty of roomr and scope formore labour on the farms, but beforeany headway can be made the remun-eration, must have a definite relation-ship and bearing to the price obtainedfor the production of the soil. Land val-ues are far too high;.they1 were forcedup during the boom years after thewar, and were maintained for a timeowing principally to the fact that theGovernment was in the market to pur-chase land on which to settle returnedsoldiers.DIFFICULTY OF READJUSTMENT.

'.'Land values will take a long timeto adjust themselves owing to the factthat such a lot of land is mortgaged,and neither the lender nor the. bor-rower can afford to see it depreciateovernight, even if only to its true value.

"The possibility of over-productionin New Zealand must not be over-looked, and this is probably the pointwhich should engage more attentionthan any other problems of the Do-minion.

"The final impression on leaving thesunny »hores of the Britain of theSouth, is that the prosperity of Eng-land, with her teeming millions, and' ofNew Zealand /with her meagre popula-tion are bound absolutely one with theother, and the closest harmony andfriendship—rthe greatest stimulus totrade—must be fostered. between theMother Country and her youngest Do-minion."

ARBITRATION AWARDS."To political students," writes Sir

Richard Winfrey, in several provincialpapers, "the most interesting of theNewZealand labour laws will always bethat which endeavours to settle labourdisputes between employers and tradesunions by means of public arbitration,instead of the disastrous methods ,ofstrikes and lock-outs. It is a lawwhich has been widely attacked by So-cialists and trades unionists, but tlieproof of the pudding is in the eating*and ceitainly this law has held itsground for over thirty years, and is stillin operation. That, at any rate, is«ome tribute to its vital principles. Theawards of the New Zealand ArbitrationCourt and boards show on the wholegreat care, a sense of responsibility,and a spirit of equity. I cannot helufeeling that we might with advantageadopt a similar method in the Home-land." 'In another place, SirRichard Winfreywrites: ''I have only one.complaint tomake of the trading community of Neve;Plymouth. They charged me 12s 6d forsoleing and. heeling a pair of shoes, and:they charged a lady member of ourparty Is for an ounce of peppermintdrops. I hope that is not afair sampleof the cost of other commodities inthis fair city.". "

ARTIFICIAL MANURES.Beferring to a particular farm in the

Taranaki. district; Sir Richard says:—"Now I come to the secret of the

great fertility of this farm. The landis dressed with 2cwt of superphosphateand 2cwt of basic slag per acre onceevery year, and 6cwt of lime once inthreeyears.;

".The cost is: Superphosphate, £5 aton; basic slag, £4 10s, and lime £1,which the Government, in order to en-courage the liming of land, carry ontheir railways the first hundred milesfree.

''There, then, is the secret of makinghigh-priced landpay. Put plenty intoit, and you get plenty out. That surelyis true all the world over."

Representatives of twenty-sevensocieties were present at a compliment-ary luncheon.to Mr. and Mrs. Whitleyin the Town Hall,Reading. Mrs. Whit-ley who replied first to the principaltoast, said they had had a wonderfultour. • , .

"On© of tho things that most im-pressed me," Mrs. Whitley said, "wasthe work of the country women. Thereis no doubt that the woman who goesout to New Zealand and marries a far-mer has a hard time. The domesticquestion is a difficult one. There maybe ./money to pay for help, but it isdifficult.to get help. The wifo has todo the cleaning and the cooking, makeclothes, and bring up the children. Notonly that, but she even has to help onthe farm. Wherever we were enter-tained there was always a most lavishsupply of home-make cakes and sand-wiches. .And when a party of eightywas fed, there was always enougk loftfor another party of 80."I' was most-interested in the wo-

men's division of the Farmers' Union,which has been formed to help . thefarmers' division. But another objectis to help the farmers' wives in.timesof emergency. They have a most use-ful .visiting housekeepers' scheme. Ifa woman falls ill a reliable woman maybe obtained'to* take charge of thedomestic duties at stipulated wages. Ifpeople-cannot afford to pay them thecommittee meets the, expense. Thehouses are of the bungalow type, whichmakes work easier. And electric poweris used to a much greater extent thanit is used, here, and th:~, too, helps torelieve the situation."

LOVE FOR THE HOMELAND.Mr. Whitley said he was right to

make one condition when he was in-vited to lead, the party. That condi-tion was that his wife should go:withhim. Mr. Whitley first addressea him-self to the representatives of the vari-ous societies, organisations, and col-leges, telling how he had met people inNew Zealand who had been associated~-ith thosp societies. He mentioned thenames of a dozen men and women whohad obtained their training in someReading institution and were now do-ing good work in the Dominion. Hespoke of the Old Cliftonians they hadmet, especially of Sir James Allen, whohad welcomed them and entertainedthem in the great city of Dunedin. Hementioned the boys who had gone tothe Dominion from the WallingfordColony, some fifty in number. He re-gretted that the migration restrictionswere shutting. them out. He had putthe question to the authorities and gotthem to explain why they were shut-ting out boys and young girls.

"One jc«n I h«l known years ago,"said Mr. Whilisj, v*ut> me at thestation a* • InwonsMjiiii. the southern-

most town in the Empire, and returneda book I had lent'him ten years ago."

Mr. Whitley then explained thenature of the work of the BritishNational Union. In New Zealand^, hesaid, their first impression' was theloyalty of the people—loyalty fromstart to finish, and the love fo the oldHomeland. It was- quite,pathetic tofind farmers coming many miles forthe one purpose of shaking hands withsome member of the party who hadcome from the same county at. he hador his people had. At the Akaroalunch there came to him Mr. and Mrs.Williams, who emigrated to New Zea-land forty-seven years ago after workring seven years aj; Huntley and Pal-mer 's'biscuit factory in Reading. Theytook up land, worked hard, and nowowned their .farm about four milesfrom Akaroa, and were able to returnto Reading on a visit in 1928. Theysent greotings to all their old Read-ing friends.

The second impression wa tho de-lightful climatic .; conditions underwhich almost anything would grow.Efficiency was-another impression, andhospitality was another. They couldnot have been received more hospit-ably if they had been• Royalty.. Hegave an outline of New . Zealand'swonderful development in eighty years.In 1928, he said, New Zealand export-ed just about fifty, million pounds'worth of goods—wool, mutton, lamb,butter, cheese, and a number of othersmaller items. The import trade- thesame year was forty-foui' millionpounds' worth, half, of which camefrom GreatBritain., These figures wouldgive some idea of ithe progress ,thathad been made in sa short a time. Itwas amazing, and itfhad been done bytheir own kith and lfin. ,WHAT CAN BE DONE?AUSTRALIAN TROUBLES

BIG WHEAT SURPLUS

Australia has approximately 1,000,000tons of wheat to sell—the unsold .por-tion of the 1929-30 .crop; plus the carry-over from the previous season. Over-seas markets are in no sense "wheat-hungry," and the prospect, for profit-able realisation- of the surplus is notpromising, .says the Sydney "Sun."

The estimated supply of wheat avail-able in Australia at the end of lastseason was, approximately, 142,000,000bushels. Of that quantity over 54,000,-

---000 bushels.were estimated.as requisitefor local needs—for human consump-tion, seed,' and feed for poultry, andother stock—until next season's cropbecomes available. . Tho balance, ap-proximately, 87,500,000* bushels, .wasestimated' as'available, for export be-tween Ist December, J929, and 30thNovember next, of which more than38,000,000 bushels had been shipped by31st May last. " '-■. On the basis of 12,00u,000 bushels,as the average carry-over for tho lastthree seasons, and allowing'that propor-tion as at November next, there is stillavailable for export from, the Common-wealth more than 37,000,000 bushels.

CONTINENT CLOSED",Australia- ■is ■ not the only wheat-

growing country which has a huge sur-plus of the cereal on hand. Canada,the United' States, and Argentina, alsohave each a super-abundance of wheat,for which, they are experiencing diffi-culty in finding profitable purchasingmarkets. Canada and U.S.A. endeav-oured to force the consuming marketson the Continent, to take, their wheat;but Continental countries, notablyItaly, France,, and Germany, determin-ed to find a way for avoidance of whatthey deemed excessive, quotations bysellers; They, declined steadfastly ,topay "fantastic" prices.;

The countries mentioned placed highduties upon■ imported wheat. Theyalso ngiated upon thejr people usingflour . <)<mtiinijig a > considerable pro-portion ,of of. other grainsand wholesome substitutes.

It is largely .because of the resultsof that retaliatory action on the partof tho large.consumitig countries inEurope that responsibility for : the"debacle" in the wheat market, asfar as Australia is concerned, 'is laidat the door of the Federal authorities.Had it not been for the promise thatthe Australian wheat-grower, would beassured of 4s a bushel for his grain,the bulk of the1wheat would have beenmarketed overseas at a time whenvalues were' substantially higher thanthey are to-day. ......

Bightly or wrongly, the wheat-growerbelieves thatfor any material deficiencybetween the price which he mighthaveobtained, had it not been;for the im-plied guarantee by the Government of4s a bushel, and that, at whjch .ultimate-ly he may be;compelled, by stress of.circumstances, to sell his"; grain, theFederal authorities must bear the re-sponsibility. ■ ■■ ■ '•'-.'

WERE DOUBTFUL.Prom the outset many well-informed

growers were dubious as to, the wisdomof the "grow more' wheat" campaignin the Commonwealth. It was regardedas cause for uncertainty that at thetime when that campaign; was beingpressed assiduously, the. authorities inthe United States- were endeavouringby more ot less similar methods to- in-duce their growers.to reduce their seed-ing areas for next: crop .by-at least 10percent. . .', ' ' ;

Prominent wheat-traders 'in the cityare convinced' that if wheat-growing isto be again a reasonably profitable en-terprise, for Australian farmers, thegrowers must be released < from theshackles of excessive'transport charges,heavy burdens upon* agricultural ma-chinery, and cornsacks, high wages fix-ed by Arbitration Courts, and •shorterwoii;ing hours, as compared with thosein Canada, tht United States,: Argen-tina, and India,• all. of which countriescompete against Australia 'in the sell-ing markets of the world. ■Australia's problem is to get rid ofits :million tons of wheat before grainfrom the next harvest is ready for themarket. The outlook for disposal ofthat vast surplus does not appear pro-mising. Following the rejection by theSenate of the Wheat Bill, the. farmer,who has held back . his grain in .theexpectation; that the .Government wouldtake adequate measures to!protect hisinterests,-is asking what, the Govern-ment now intends to do for him.

CONFESSION MACHINEDetails have just been deposited at

tlie London; Patent Office of an inven-tion for extorting confessions fromcriminals. The inventor is an Ameri-can, Mrs. Helen Adelaide Shelby, ofOakland, California, and sho claimsthat it is impossible for ■ criminalsquestioned by- her invention to adoptthe common practice of denying thingsthey have said: during a police ex-amination. The apparatus (as describ-ed in the "Daily Mail") consists ofa structure divided into two chambers,in one of which the suspect is confinedin total darkness, while the person whois to question him'is in the other. Inthe partition separating the two is apanel with a figure* like a skeletonmounted on the side facing the pris-oner. The examiner speaks into amegaphone connected with the skele-ton's mouthpiece, and the prisoner'sanswers and confessions are recordedby a form of talking-film camera, roomfor which is found by removing theback of the skeleton's akull. Theskull's eye-sockets contain electricbulbs, which glow in a variety _ofcolours, and are made to blink withthe sound-wave variations.
