GOSPEL MESSAGE.

SOUL AND SPIRIT: The "soul" or life isfound in the blood (Gen. 9:4, Levit. 17:11,Deut. 12:23) enabling us to see how Jesuspoured out his "soul," i.e., precious blood(1 Pet. 1:19) unto death (Isa. 53:12). The"spirit" is the breath as James 2:26 marg.shews. Why not believe the Truth? FrankWilHment, HO Standen Street.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEWORLD ?

AND ye shall hear of wars and rumoursof wars—nation shall rise against nation,

and kingdom against kingdom and there shallbe famines and pestilences and earthquakesin divers places—iniquitj shall abound—uponthe earth, distress of nations, with perplexitythe sea and the waves roaring; men's heartsfailing them for fear and for looking after(hose things which are coming on the earth.For when they shall say, peace and safety,then sudden destruction cometh upon them—and they shall not escape."

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THECHRISTIAN?

"When these things begin to come to pass,then look up, and lift up your heads; for yourredemption draweth nigh. When ye shall seethese things come to pass, know that it (HE)is nigh, even at the doors. The LORD HIMSELFshall descend from heaven—the dead in Christshall ripe first and we which are alive andremain, shall be caught up together with themin the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; andso shall we ever be with the Lord. I will comeagain."FOR THE WORLD SOON COMING CHAOSFOR THE CHRISTIAN—SOON COMING

"EAT MORE MEAT"THE PRICE OBSTACLE

AUSTRALIAN QUANDARY

Unable to ship all its exportable sur-plus of meat overseas, Australia isfaced with the problem of "eating moremeat." Here a difficulty has arisen.The retail outlet appears to be tooconstricted; in short, the price in theshop is too high for many purses, con-sequently sales are not so heavy asthey might be and as some producershold that, in the circumstances, theyought to be. Mr. W. R. Cosgrove,vice-president of the Sydney Fat StockSalesmen's Association, for instance,recently stated that "the present lowprices of sheep and lambs, though un-profitable to the producer, are not re-flected in the relatively high pricescharged in most retail shops through-out the metropolitan area." Actually,the volume of sheep and lambs nowbeing marketed was far in excess ofthe requirements of the local trade.As a result, the producer was receivingmuch lower prices, but the public werenot getting the benefit of the reduc-tion, the retailer in most Sydney sub-urbs asking as much as when pricesfor stock were 50 per cent, higher.

Mr. Cosgrove said the Minister forCustoms had stated that a cheaper

breakfast chop must be one of the prin-cipal objectives of any meat publicitycampaign, and that the Governmentwas watching the price factor clbsely.

"The present'retail prices would notencourage increased meat consump-tion," said Mr. Cosgrove, "nor doesthere appear to be any desire on thepart of the retailer to increase thevolume of meat he is selling."

Professor Copland has already takenaction in the case of pork and lamb.He is the Price Controller of the Com-monwealth with power to fix the re-tail price of meat. The principal ob-jective is to help to increase consump-tion and offset, to some extent, theslump in export trade brought aboutby the shortage of ships. Difficultyin determining how the retail price ofmeat can be regulated has, however,arisen. It is probable that retailerswill be permitted to charge a fixedpercentage margin of profit above theruling wholesale price.

Housewives' associations want toknow why, if there is so much meatto be "absorbed," the price is not madeattractive.

OFFICER ACQUITTEDCOURT-MARTIAL HELD

SERGEANT ALSO CHARGED

A general court martial held atTrentharn Military Camp yesterday and,last night dealt with charges of theftand receiving of clothing from thequartermaster's store at the mobilisa-tion camp.

Second. Lieutenant Robert AlfredHowarth, Second N.Z.E.F., was chargedwith receiving public goods on May22 knowing them to be stolen, and withconduct to the prejudice of good orderand military discipline by being inimproper possession of goods. Tem-porary Sergeant Claude Harrison, campstaff company, Trentham, was charged

1that, being concerned in the care anddistribution of public goods, he didsteal the articles, and alternately withtheft and receiving. Both pleaded notguilty. The trials were conductedseparately.

The Court consisted of Lieutenant-Colonel R. H. Rowland, D.S.O. (presi-dent), Major E. F. J. Reeves, M.C.,Major J. F. B. Stevenson, M.C., Cap-tain R. C. Hollis, M.C., and LieutenantI. Macarthur. Major A. B." Sievwright,E.D., was Judge Advocate, and MajorJ. H. Dunn prosecuted. SecondLieutenant A. J. Mazengarb appearedfor Harrison, and Mr. S: A. Wirens forHaworth.

In the case against Howarth, MajorE. L. G. Bown, Chief Ordnance Officer,identified the shorts produced as hav-ing been Government property. Theywould be on sale in the camp, throughthe ordnance cashier and the store. Asearch of ordnance dockets showedthat no sales had been made to theaccused since March 17. The articleswere not issued free to officers of theExpeditionary Force, and no memberof the camp quartermaster's staff hadauthority to sell clothing.

Cross-examined by Mr. Wiren, wit-ness said that such garments had notbeen on sale in the camp until thelast three months, and that since thenthey had been sold when available. Itwas impossible to tell whether thearticles produced were taken out ofstock, were personal issue, or had beensold. It was quite possible, thoughunlikely, that a second lieutenantwould not know the authority of amember of the quartermaster's staff.As the correct method of purchase waswidely known, anyone offered goods inanother way, would naturally be onthe gui vive. The articles producedwere not sold to the accused, butcould have been sold to someone else.

"ACCUSED SURPRISED."Lieutenant C. S. Swan, Assistant

Camp Quartermaster, and Major A. E.Gordon, the accused's commanding offi-cer at the time, described the kit in-spection held ojn the morning of May24. Both said that the accused madeno attempt at concealment, and showedno sign of a guilty conscience, and heseemed genuinely surprised that therewas anything wrong.

Sergeant L. Ridgway gave evidenceas to seeing the accused officer in thehut occupied by members of the campstaff on the evening of May 22. Theaccused seemed to be going to Ser-geant Harrison's cubicle. Private P.Stanlake said that Sergeant Harrisonobtained the keys of the store from[him at about 6.45 that evening.

In evidence, the accused said thaton May 22 the men were beingequipped in the quartermaster's store.In conversation with Sergeant Harri-son, the accused said he would like tobuy certain gear, and Sergeant Harri-son said he would arrange it. Priorto this, the accused had tried to getshorts from the officers' store, but wasadvised that there were none in stock.He had bought two pairs outside thecamp, but these were inferior to thosebeing issued to the men. Later, on May22, Harrison asked him to come to thestore in the evening, which he did. Thestore was shut, and Sergeant Harrisonwas standing outside. Harrison askedhim into the cubicle, where he wasgiven articles, and paid Harrison £1.The accused thought this was the issueprice.

In reply to a question by MajorReeves, the accused said he had re-garded the matter as a transaction, andexpected Harrison to pay the moneyin to the Department.

The Court found the accusedHowarth not guilty, and honourablyacquitted him on both charges.

Evidence in the case against Harri-son was along similar lines. MajorBown admitted the possibility of Harri-son receiving the articles from a per-son lawfully in possession of them. Adecision was reached at the conclu-sion of the hearing, and the matter wasreferred for the consideration of thecommanding officer.

PRODUCTION PLANTHE MAIN POINTS'

CHANGE-OVER TO CHEESE

(P.A.) DUNEDIN, May 3ff.The Minister of Marketing (Mr.

Barclay), opening the Otago WirrterShow today, said that the conduct ]ofthe war called for the utmost effortfrom the Dominion as a whole, but par-ticularly from the primary industries,which were playing such a vital partin the supply of essential foodstuffsto the front line of battle.

The general .programme of prirrt^yproduction for the coming year r.lad|already been widely published. > Hewould, however, emphasise the follcfw-jing points:—Firstly, the additionalchange-over from butter to cheese- .toproduce 160,000 tons of cheese was 'ofparamount importance; secondly,: theimportance of the Dominion producinga maximum wool clip could not Deoverstressed, as this commodity (was

vital war material and was amongl theessential requirements of the UmWKingdom Government.

In so far as meat,production was con-cerned, it was impossible at this sUtge v

of the negotiations with the UnitedKingdom Government to give any jde-tailed information, and the position, asfar as it could be covered, had been,covered in the production programmeannounced earlier.

The Minister emphasised the noedfor increased primary production tomaintain New Zealand's own stand? irdof living, in addition to the require-ments of the United Kingdom Goveiin-ment. In this connection increasedcrops of wheat and malting bar!|eywere essential. They must also aim»toproduce sufficient seeds of arable cr-jpsand vegetables to meet the Dominican'sneeds, together with a surplus avail-able for export or as a carry-over anthe case of seeds which did notrapi plydecline in germination capacity. \

FIRST COPRA PLAINT

ESTABLISHED IN CAN/^DASir Walter Randolph Carpenter, Aus-

tralian industrialist and shipping man,has arrived in Vancouver to superviseconstruction of a 250,000-dollar copraplant—the first of its kind in Canada,says the "Christian Science Monitor."The step may mark an important onein the development of trade, betweenCanada and Australasia.

Sir Walter owns large copra\a|nd soyabean plantations in New Guinea, Fiji,and other islands of the SouthI Pacific,and he plans to ship large C'/nantitiesof this produce to Vancouver formanufacture into a variety ''of vege-table oils to be marketedand the United States. Heyhis own fleet of freighters.

War conditions provided the induce-ment for this project. A year! ago SirWalter and his associates were' able todispose of their copra in the I marketsof Europe, but now they mjlist lookto other fields. J

FOUNDATIONS OF TBJiDE."The primary motive was tt<n lay the

foundations for trade between Aus-tralia and Canada," said Siar Walter."Canada has been selling 1leavily toAustralia—lumber, canned ilsh, pulp,paper, and other products,sales in Canada have been rauch less.

|There must be a two-way tnajde if it isIto be permanent and mutu slly satis-factory. We plan to export to Canadaonly the produce which Caj aada itself'cannot provide."

Canada uses 40,000,000 pounds ofcopra oil annually and the Carpenterinterests hope to absorb the-* bulk ofthat business. New planjtiations inNew Guinea are being sown in soya*beans and it is expected thaiU this willprovide a source of supply Ho replaceManchukuo and China, whecaa Canadahas been buying most of its fsoya pro-ducts in the past.

CITY MISSION APPEALThe amount realised as nt result of

the street collection in aid <:tf the Wel-lington City Mission on Thursday was£427 4s 2d. In addition £ifi6 16s 7dwas received in donations by mail,bringing the grand total toI £494 Os9d.

NEW ZEALAND WHEAT SUPPLIES.

AUCKLAND, May 29(P.A.)"We arei fortunate that during the

year the wheat supplied by New Zea-land grow ers and also wheat from Aus-tralia was of satisfactory quality," saidMr. J. B. Donald, presiding at the an-nual meeting of the Northern RollerMills, Ltd-j "It was anticipated thatsufficient -wheat would be grown inNew Zeal -and this year, but it nowlooks as if ot will be necessary to com-plete our .supplies from overseas," hesaid. The ..year had been satisfactory.and the directors recommended a divi-dend of 5 per cent, instead of 4jt percent, last year.

DENTAL AND MEDICALLOSSES BY ENEMY ACTION

The annual general meeting ofshareholders of the Dental and Medi-cal Supply Co., Ltd., was held yesterday.Dr. E. W. Giesen presided. He saidthe year's trading was very satisfac-tory- Theirs was one essential busi-ness, .so they had less difficulty ingetting import licence? and overseasexchange. "We have lost severalshipments by enemy action, as was tobe expected.1 he said, 'but practicallyall have been made good and ourstocks are in a very satisfactory posi-tion. Trading tor the year has beenexcellent. The turnover is greatei thanit was the previous year, and thatwas the besi year we had ever had.Gross profit was £1100 better thanlast year, and appropriation accountshows a balance of nearly £tfooo Itwould have been natural for share-holders to expect a dividend higherthan last year's, which was 5 per cent.,but a 5 per cent dividend on capi-tal takes almost £3000 "But whena company has enough funds to dis-tribute £3000 to the shareholders,said Dr. Giesen, "it has, at the sametime, to hand over about £5000 to theGovernment, so, although we have afavourable balance of almost £8000. ifwe declare a dividend of 5 per cent,the whole amount is accounted for—£3000 tc the shareholders and £5000in taxes. So you will see why thedirectors recommend the paymem ofa 5 per cent dividend But we arein the happy position this year thai weare providing for almosi al) we willrequire to pay by way of taxation.This is another reason why we saythe year's trading has oeen satisfac-tory !l He also said the overdraft wasalmost £8000 more than 12 monthsago. This was readily accounted forThey had £824 more cash in transit;they had to take up £950 compulsoryloan: and they had increased stocksby over £10.000 It was inevitablethai thf overdraft should be higher,but this would automatically work it-self down as good? were disposed of.

PUZZLES FOR BACKERS

The 'chasing season will be advanceda further stage or Monday, when theAuckland Racing Club will usher inthe Great Northern Meeting. Fourjumping events, inclusive of the GreatNorthern Hurdles, are set down forthe opening day with the big steeplesreserved till Wednesday. Although itmay not be. an Aintree, the Ellersiiecountry is formidable, for apart fromthe fact that the competitors are re-quired to traverse the best portion offour miles, they have to iump twenty-five obstacles en route, and eventhough the fences may not be sodifficult to jump as those at Riccartonand Trentham. the negotiation of thehill ai Ellerslie materially adds to thetask.

SHOULD CLIMB FARBRIDEGROOM'S RECORD

Eight, years ago Mr, K. McK. Dun-can, a son of the Hunterville sports-man Mr T. A Duncan won the GreatNorthern Steeplechase with Callamart.whom he had purchased after the Cal-laghau gelding had shown his w*orthby winning the Grand NationalHurdles and running second in theGreat Northern Steeples Now, at thecoming meeting at Ellersiie this samesportsman will have another fitting re-presentative to carry his colours in thebig cross-country event, his candidateon this occasion being Bridegroomwinner of the Waikato Steeples at TeRapa a fortnight ago.

It was not till he was a seven-yearold that Bridegroom figured on theracecourse in Mr Duncan's colours thebig black gelding having been pur-chased from his breeder. Mr E. Loiselcomparatively cheaply By Mimetic (ason of Comedy King) from Bnd&l Veil,by California (a good performer whowon the Avondale Cup in 1910 with9.12) from the Waterfall mare Rose-water. Bridegroom was handed to L.Knapp oi Awapuni, with a view tomaking a jumper oi him, and he hasfittingly fulfilled expectations.

THREE IN A KOW.Prior to making his debut in the

role destined for him Bridegroom hadone outing on the flat at Rangitikei inthe 1938-39 season, and then at his firstessay over obstacles he carried off theHunt Club Hurdles at Ellerslie. hiswinning margin being five lengths. Onthe following day he added the HuntCup in the sister branch under 1(3.0even more comfortably ana he made itthree in a row by winning the Mariristeeples at Trentham a month later

[1 was- apparent at this stage thattne Mimetic gelding would go on tostill greater heights, and he provedhimself vastly superior to the opposi-tion he encountered in the Hunt Cupat Riccarton at the opening oi thenew season On that occasion ne wasrequired to carry 12,0, and when trans-ferred to the higher class on tne thirdday he beat all but Slayer, winner ofthe Matai and July Steeples at TrentHam in the preceding month, whenwithin 131b of the southerner in thehandicaps There was only a neck be-tween the pair at the post, but theeffort seemingly told againsi Bride-groom for when taker) north tor thePakuranga Hunt Cup immediately fol-lowing upon his return to this islandhe showed a complete loss ol formHe was kept going for a period, buiafter he had again failed in the Wai-kato Hunt Cup he was accorded a spell

LOSS OF FORM.On Bridegroom resuming racing he

was again accorded an outing on theflat, this time at Otaki, and at his nextstart he won the Manawatu SteeplesNevertheless nis performance that daywas not altogether impressive, for itwas only hard riding on the part, ofW E Pine that got him up to nar-rowly beat Begorrah Incidentally thepaii were some fifteen lengths clear ofChat on thai occasion, yet within thespace of a couple of months the minorplace-getter proved capable of carrying off the Wellington Steeplechasein town-hall company,

Although his effort was a successfulone. it was apparent that Bridegroomwas not himself, and he was not, askedto go further with the programme thathad been mapped out for him A yearelapsed before he reappeared, his firstouting in the current term being onceagain in a flat race, at Waverley Hewas then given his first test in his ac-cepted role at Hawera on the follow-in- Thursday, but he was guilty of get-ting .in too close to a fence and he fell.

FRENCH-BRED FILLY

J. PIKE MAY COME BACK

(From "Vedette.")SYDNEY. May 13,

Kama, who was begotten in Franceand foaled in New Zealand, carrieden .her good work at the City Tatter-sail's Meeting by winning a speciallyarranged seven-furlong three-year-oldhandicap. This Dark Legend fillyshould develop into one of the highest-class sprinters. Her form had beenproved through St. Andrew, whom shedefeated easily, and she won just asconclusively at Canterbury Park onSaturday. The race won by Kama wasa literal extra, for Blackie Miller wasleft as the only runner in the HurdleRace, thereby providing the only walk-ovei ai Randwick for nearly 70 years.Blackie Miller went through all theformalities of weighing out and in andcarried his jockey in racing silks withhi? number hoisted by the judge after-he haa cantered a few yards to andpast, th< winning post.

Rank outsiders at double figures donot win on many occasions on Sydneysuburban courses, but Aristocrat. . astayer who was having his first runafter a six months' spell, defeated ahot favourite and useful field of wel-ter sprinters at Canterbury. As is notuncommon, the stayer was able tosprint capably when fresh. He carriedan inexperienced apprentice and nocash of his connections. His price onthe totalisator, which was well overthe three-figure mark, was over twiceas much as his ring price. The resultof the race was the most perfect "skin-ner" experienced by Sydney book-makers for some time.

D Munro has been employed duringthe past week looking after BonnieLoch, trained by his brother who wast>way in the country at the. Wagga GoldCup Meeting with Te] Asur Appar-ently Munro passed on some of hisdetermination to Bonnie Loch, althoughbeing without a licence he was un-able to ride him. The gelding was abad last three furlongs from home,wide out and still wel] back on theturn but eventually an easy winnerAs yet there seems to be no sign ofMunrn having his licence restored bythe A.J.C. and the latesi story in cir-culation is that James Pike intendsto try his hand at riding again It hasbeen known for some time that Pikehas not been over-enamoured of thetraining side of racing and if. aftertrying himself out on the trainingtrack, he is satisfied that he can dojustice to himself at a reasonableweight, he may ask the principal clubfor a jockey's licence.

GOOD FAMILY

Although to date Sunny Knight hasshown himself to be a sheer speedmerchant, he. comes from a family thathas produced stayers as well as sprint-ers. His dam. Sunny Maid, won twiceat three years and four times in thefollowing term, but after having hadto be content with three minor placingsas a five-year-old she was retired tothe stud. Sunny Maid was restrictedto sprinting, but she is a grand-daughter of Merry Roe, who producedsuch good ones as Merry DamonMerry Mint. M(erry Melody, etc., andthere is no reason why Sunny Knightshould not develop into a middle-dis-tance performer

It was first feared that He had hurthimself, but he went north with Riot-ous and Dv Maurier to fulfil en-gagements at Te Rapa. and there hecarried his jumping account stillfurther.

His most recent prize was the richest"plum" of his career to date andbrought his stake winnings for threeseasons' racing to £1840. Many en-thusiasts will be expecting him tocarry his record still further at theGreat Northern Meeting, for based on.his performance at Te Rapa the blackgelding is apparently back to his bestform.

THE RED CROSSUSE OF EMBLEM

LEGAL POSITION EXPLAINED

Questions having been raised about'the use of the Red Cross emblem in

[New Zealand in time of war, the'Attorney-General (Mr. Mason) today

1issued a statement explaining the legalposition.

The New Zealand Government, saidMr. Mason, was a party to the Inter-,national Convention held at Geneva

-in.July, 1929, and the Geneva Conven-tion Act, 1936, was passed by Parlia-

* ment to ratify on behalf of New Zea-

' land the terms ■of the Convention.• "Under the articles of the Conven-

■ tion," the Minister continued, "the em-: blem of the Red Cross on a whiteground and the words 'Red Cross' or'Geneva Cross' shall not be used intime of war except to indicate themedical formations and establishmentsand the personnel and material pro-tected by the Convention.

"In time of war the emblem may beused only by the medical personneland transport of the military forcesand by approved voluntary aid societiesengaged in the relief of sick andwounded combatants under militarylaw. The emblem may be used onlyon hospitals, establishments, and forma-tions, and the-transport and materialthereof that are recognised as comingwithin the privileges of the Conventionby competent military authority.

"The use of the emblem on shops,buildings, or articles for sale, or bras-sards or flags, or on street advertise-ments, or as stickers on motor-cars iscontrary to the articles of the Conven-tion unless these buildings, etc., arebeing used for the purpose of attend-ing the sick and wounded combatantsand are under military law or subjectjto military authority." ;

EVER INCREASINGHOSPITAL LEVIES

COUNTY COUNCIL'S PROTEST

"The ever-increasing hospital levymade on county ratepayers has beenthe subject of grave concern to thiscouncil, and every effort should bemade to bring about a more equitablebasis of contribution as between theratepayer and the user," remarked Mr.S. Blackley, retiring chairman of theHutt County Council, at yesterday'sannual meeting. During the last tenyears, he added, the hospital levy inthe county had almost doubled, andthere semed to be no end to the re-quests made by the Wellington Hos-pital Board for approval for additionalloans. The new hospital in LowerHutt, when completed, would certainlybenefit county ratepayers who hadoccasion to .use it, by saving time andtravelling expenses at present incurredby having to go into Wellington fortreatment.

When later on in the meeting a re-quest was before the coun~i: for appro-val for further hospital loans, Mr.Blackley said that ratepayers had seento it that there were many new mem-bers on the Hospital Board. There hadalso been changes in the Public HealthDepartment, and it might be well todefer approval for any new loans untilthe policy of the new Hospital Boardwas known.

"Let the new board go ahead witha good scheme once and for all," re-marked Councillor J. J. Maher. whenthe council agreed to defer its appro-val.

LEGAL ABSURDITY

PRISON FOR COMPANY

MAGISTRATE'S COMMENT

CP.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 30,"I don't understand how any Court

can sentence a company to imprison-ment," said Mr. E. C. Levvey, S.M., inthe Magistrate's Court today whenAulsebrook and Co. were charged withemploying a reservist not enrolledin the National Reserve.

The Magistrate pointed out that theAct gave the company the right to betried by jury, but when that right wasnot claimed the company could bedealt with summarily and a fine of£100 or 12 months' imprisonmentcould be imposed by a Magistrate.

"The Act has the extraordinaryeffect of making a limited liabilitycompany liable to imprisonment," saidMr. Levvey. „ "That is so new that Iam at a loss to understand it." Hepointed out that if the company weresentenced.to imprisonment it could ap-ply for a writ of habeas corpus, whichwould undoubtedly be granted, and thewhole thing would be a nullity. Inthe circumstances it would be stultify-ing any term of imprisonment hemight impose on any company or theofficers of a company.

The case was adjourned for a week.

ALL SAINTS', NGAIO

CONSECRATION TOMORROW

The consecration of the AnglicanChurch of All Saints, Ngaio, by theBishop of Wellington, at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, will be an importantlandmark in the history of churcheffort in that suburb. The earliest

•church activity in Ngaio appears tohave been directed by the Rev. W.St. Hill, who conducted a school inthe clearing where Mr. (afterwardsSir) William Fox had built a mill anda house named "Crofton." In 1872the Rev. T. L. Tudor was placed incharge of the Porirua Road Districtwith headquarters at Johnsonville.Until the erection of a church room atBoxhill, Khandallah in 1900 bothKhandallah and Crofton relied on theuse of a public hall at the presentSimla crossing, when occasional ser-vices were held. At this time thePorirua Parochial District comprisedPahautanui, Plirnmerton, Porirua,Johnsonville, Khandallah, and Crofton(Ngaio).

During the vicariate of the Rev. J.Vosper, Ngaio commenced its in-dividual church life about 1904 in anold cottage, condemned in the city,but re-erected on the corner of ImlayCrescent and Abbott Road. Serviceswere held in this until it was possibleto transfer to a churchroom near theNgaio railway station. In 1911 thepresent commanding site in AbbottRoad was acquired and a woodenchurchroom built. The present brickchurch was completed early in 1929.

PIFCO HEALTH LAMPS

fINFRA-RED AND RADIANT HEAT

lnfra-Red Treatment is to-day accepted by MedicalAuthorities as of great benefit. Its rays are invisible, butthey penetrate deep down to the seat of trouble.

The PIFCO STANDARD MODEL is designed on simpleyet effective lines. The use of Infra-Red Ray is absolute-ly safe—no shocks, burns or destruction of tissue canpossibly follow, even when used by a novice. Its value isamazing; although low in price it functions as efficient-ly as lamps of much higher price used in hospitals.

The MEDICAL Lamp diminishes the sensibility topain and relieves congestion with remarkable speed.Because of these powers, the lamp is most valuable fortreatment of joint injuries and pains of an arthritic orrheumatic origin. This power to relieve pain quickly isalso important in the treatment of non-articular manifes-tations of rheumatism, in cellulitis, torticollis, lumbago,and tarsalgia.

The PIFCO MEDICAL Lamp also produces excellenteffects in all types of neuritis cases. Complete directionsfor successful use with each • Lamp. ffC /C /Complete J#o' 0' ■

BLOOD AND TEARS IFNOT SWEAT

"The blood and tears are flowing,but where is the sweat?" asked Mr. S.Blackley in his address to the HuttCounty Council, on retiring from itschairmanship. His question relatedto the statements of two leaders—onemade at an early stage of the war byMr. Churchill on assuming Britain'sPrime Ministership, the other madequite recently by the Acting PrimeMinister of New Zealand, Mr. Nash.Both these pronouncements will beused in the future to make history,and particularly to make that partof history which deals with (1) thequality of population in a demo-cracy; (2) the quality of democraticpatriotism when translated fromterms of lip service into terms ofactual service; (3) the courage ofdemocratic leaders in giving (or notgiving) their peoples a determinedlead, and (4) the ability of demo-cratic populations to respond tosuch a lead when and where given.In fact, the whole reputation of demo-cracy as an enduring and self-re-specting social-political system iswrapped up in this inquiry which thefuture historian will make, taking ashis landmarks such pronouncement?as the Churchill warning and theNash sequel, wherein Mr. Nash findsthat less than 5 per cent, of NewZealand's people realise what is atstake in this devastating war.

Mr. Churchill's promise of bloodand tears and sweat was a bold ex-periment in stark realism. In Britainit succeeded. He told them theworst: they accepted it. His blood,sweat, and tears utterance is a bril-liant initial application of a principleof realism—of realistic candour—which, unfortunately, has not alwaysbeen reflected in those equivocal,tendentious, sedative publicity state-ments which in certain Britishquarters pass as war-wisdom, butwhich some people call "pap." Soit cannot be said that the spirit ofChurchill leadership operates rightthrough the official and semi-officialpublicity of lesser authorities; never-theless, the Churchill lead has out-shone all these publicity peccadilloes,and it can be said that since DunkirkBritain has slumbered not; Can thesame be said of New Zealand? Mr.Nash, Mr. Blackley, and the con-ference of Returned Soldier Associa-tions answer No. How, then, shall thesleepers be awakened? And who isto blame for the percentage of som-nolence in New Zealand? Obviously,the people themselves are primarilyto blame for failing to value suf-ficiently the freedom they possess.But does our leadership altogetherescape culpability for this somno-lence? Equally obviously, theanswer is No.

The 95 per cent, of New Zealand'6population who do not realise whatis at stake in the present war are ledby a Government whose degree ofrealisation of what total war meansis reflected by the spending of manymillions on non-war purposes, andby the persistence in not only publicworks but in other parts of its social-political programme not at all help-ful to concentration on war-winning.What is it that is "at stake in thepresent war"? It is our freedom,including our freedom to legislatefor butter before guns. But ifHitler's guns before butter pro-gramme succeeds, all our freedom isgone, including butter before guns,including social security, and includ-ing all further attempt to increasethe social dividend of the unfmancialby overtaxing those who do notbenefit. What is at stake in thepresent war is the whole capacity ofthe New Zealand Government to at-tempt a social redistribution. Wouldit not have been prudence, then, toconcentrate Government spending ondefence against the totalitarian floodthat threatens all? Yet this degreeof "realisation of what is at stake"has been far beyond Mr. Nash'sGovernment. Can the people, then,carry the whole and sole blame forthe fact that more than a year anda half after the war began, andsomething like a year after the callfor blood, tears, and sweat, Mr. Nashcalculates the realising portion ofNew Zealand's population at under5 per cent.

What is the remedy? Who willwake the sleepers—the sleepers inoffice, also the other mass ofsleepers? The Returned Soldiers'Association calls for a Ministry ofInformation. But who will informthe Information Ministry, if Mr.Churchill's own personal exampleifinds such indifferent echoes in thelower channels of ordinary official-dom? That Britain is awake cannot

be altogether due to any InformationMinistry, whether good or mediocre.It should be remembered that Britainpossesses, and New Zealand does notpossess: (1) a Churchill; (2) aChurchill realistic warning of whatcould happen, and a Petain inquest j

in France into what has happened,with appropriate remarks by theField-Marshal Coroner on the evilsof popular play and pleasure—re-marks too late for Frenchmen, butuseful to their former allies.Thirdly, and not less important,Britain possesses recurrent showersof bombs, which entail sweat just assurely as they entail blood and tears.The question "Who will wake thesleepers?".may be found in the endto be closely related to the ebb andflow of air warfare. But to suggestthat democrats can be awakened onlyby enemy bombs and not by theirleaders is a confession that demo-cracy will shrink from making.There is still time for the sleeper*to awake of their own volition, in-stead of furnishing the future his-torian with further melancholy evi-dence of democratic decadence.

THE SOLDIER'S SHAREResolutions were adopter] at the

annual conference of the ReturnedSoldiers' Association askine for anincrease of 15 per cent, in the eco-nomic pension and that allowances to?he dependants of men serving in theForces of New Zealand or oversea?should he increased by 50 per cent.The strongest case can he made outfor both these requests. In wartimeit is impossible to secure real equal-ity of sacrifice. For the soldier atthe front and his dependants at homethere is peril and anxiety that can-not be assessed in monetary or mate-vial terms. Even the material sacri-fice cannot he equalised. One manleaves a good position in which hisability and experience earn a highincome, and he becomes a private sol-dier. He cannot be paid more thanother private soldiers unless hiscivilian experience enables him toqualify for higher military rank. Butfhe least that can be done and should'"'C done is to assure that the economicposition of the soldier and his de-pendants does not deteriorate. Theburdens of rising prices and depriva-tions should not press harder uponthe soldier and his family than uponthe civilian.

The soldier'spay has been raised ascompared with the Great War, but notto the same degree as pay has risenin civil occupations. The argumentthat the soldier is fully providedwith food and clothing does not ac-count for the difference. Dependantshave to pay for their own mainten-ance with allowances and allotmentsthat leave them in a position muchinferior to that occupied by familiesof men who are still in civil occu-pation. For an increase in allow-ances and for the extension to theServices of the cost-of-living bonusgiven to unionists there is the strong-est argument. This applies equallyto the economic pension. The con-ference showed moderation in notasking that all military pensionsshould be raised and limiting its re-quest to the economic pension givento maintain the disabled soldier'seconomic position. When benefits tocivil pensioners have been raised by50 to 100 per cent., how can themuch' smaller increase be denied tothe men whose claims are basedupon loss through military service?

DEFENCE PRIORITIESIn 1914-18 New Zealand had a

Minister of Munitions who wasassisted by business men wellacquainted with facts regardingsupplies and able to plan ahead andmeet the problems that the war raised.The Minister of Supply andMunitions has now set up a SupplyCouncil which will have similar func-tions. In this Avar, supply problemsare more difficult them in the GreatWar, because of the shippingpositionand the great demand in the countriesto which we must look for some essen-tial materials, and also because NewZealand is called upon to meet toa greater extent the needs of theDominion's troops. The resourcesof the country require to be organisedfully and especially must provisionbe made for assuring priority fordefence needs. This entails carefuland thorough planning ahead so thatthe most urgent requirements shallbe first met. Only in this way canproductive capacity be used to thegreatest advantage. If needs areforeseen and , producers and manu-facturers are advised of requirements,much better results can bo securedthan by last-minute control andrestriction.

NEWS OF THE DAY. Declared Enemy Countries.A proclamation issued last night de-

clares Syria and Lebanon to be enemycountries for the purposes of theEnemy Property Emergency Regula-tions, 1939, and the Enemy Trading

' Emergency Regulations, 1939.

Hock Oyster Season Opens.Evidence that Aucklanders have not

' lost their taste for rock oysters wasgiven on Thursday, the first day of thenew season, when an almost continu-ous stream of buyers passed throughthe Government depot at the AucklandCity Markets. Both in quantity andquality the oysters were excellent, and• it is expected that the season of threemonths will be fully up to that ex-perienced last year. The demand wasespecially heavy early on Thursday. morning, when dealers bought thebulk of the available large lots.Councillors' Popularity.

"The shouting and the tumult dies■ on the 17th, and for three years after

the popularity and praise of council-lors practically ceases." said Mr, J. R.Fow at the first meeting of the newly-elected Hamilton Borough Council"From then on the public looks uponcouncillors with amused toleration ordeep, secret suspicion. It has been said: 'hat it takes three generations to make

[-i gentleman, but you can become acouncillor right away.''i

"Funds Are Buoyant.""1 have noticed that a favourite ex-

pression used by financiers and bank-: ers in regard to balance-sheets is tosay that 'the funds are buoyant'," re-

-1 marked the chairman of the HuttCounty Council at yesterday's annualmeeting, when reviewing the year'soperations "What this means, 1 amnot. quite sure," he continued, "whetherthe concern is floating on air or onwater, or just not going to sink. How-ever, as far as the county is concernedI shall be content to say that our finan-cial position is satisfactory."

Second-hand Timber.After the Centennial Exhibition

closed, a number of the buildings wereshifted into the area controlled by theHutt County Council, but the re-erec-tion of many of them was prohibitedas their construction did not complywith the county bylaws, according toa report presented to yesterday's an-nual meeting of the Hutt County Coun-cil. But, the report continued therewas now' good control of the influxoi second-hand timber into the countyand owing to the reduction in importsthere was not now the problem ofpeople wishing to build in motor casetimber. The hope was expressed thatwhen the restrictions are lifted peoplewill not again get the habit.

Healthy Hutt County.

The incidence of infectious diseasesreported in the Hutt County duringthe last twelve months shows a smal)

reduction on the previous year's fig-ures, but quite a big one on the yearbefore that. Only 19 cases were re-ported last year, and this, it was statedat yesterday's annual meeting of theHutt County Council, was a direct in-dication of the benefit derived fromimmunisation from diphtheria of child-ren of school and pre-school age. Diph-theria cases fell from 17 three yearsago to 11 two years ago, and to 7 lastyear. No infectious diseases were re-ported last month, making four monthsin succession with a clean sheet.

Not An Unmixed Blessing.

Though fire hazards in the City andSuburban Water Board's area lastsummer and autumn were exception-ally light, the wet season was not anunmixed blessing, stated Mr. F. N.Perham, the board's forestry officer,in his annual report. Fire risks wereso small that the cost of fire-fightingwas practically nothing, but a seriesof wet seasons had meant unusualgrowth and that the normal burningon farm lands adjoining the forestryareas had not been possible. Conse-quently when the next dry seasoncame round fire hazards would be con-siderably greater. It was practicallyimpossible to keep fire from all partsof the board's area as much of it wassurrounded by marginal and sub-marginal farming land, where burn-ing was resorted to, but though certaincomparatively small areas of bushhad been destroyed other extensiveareas previously burnt over had beenregenerated with native species to avery pleasing extent. Between theHutt and Pakuratahi Rivers about 501)

of 700 acres of burnt-over land hadbeen naturally regenerated since 1929with young beech, kamaki, rata, andnumerous other species.Memorial Collection.] A collection commemorating thework and achievements of the famousAustralian airmen, the late Sir Charles >Kingsford Smith and the late Mr. C.T. P. Ulm, which is on its way to theUnited States to be exhibited for patri-otic purposes, was shown in the oldLegislative Council rooms, ParliamentHouse, on Thursday, and was inspectedby the Acting Prime Minister (Mr.Nash) and members of Cabinet. Theprincipal items in the collection, whichis the work of Mr. Austin E. Byrne,of Rosebery, Sydney, are a large alu-minium globe showing the journeyingsof the aeroplane Southern Cross in itsencirclement of the world, a marbleshrine enclosing an illuminated historyof the plane's flights with forewordsby eminent people throughout theworld with whom Kingsford Smithand Ulm came in contact during theirunique exploits, and a delicately exe-cuted shining metal model of thefamous aeroplane itself. There is alsoar: interesting pictorial record of theflights collected from the many coun-tries in which it made landings. Thecollection is the fruits of more thanseven years' effort by Mr. Byrne, whois a railway employee. He estimatesthat tho total time spent on it was17,000 hours, of which 5000, spread overthree years, were devoted to the pro-duction of the model of the aeroplane.Huge Concrete Caissons.

The first of the huge concrete cais-sons weighing 850 tons which will ,for the inlet for the Rangitata irriga-tion scheme wassuccessfully floated anditowed into position ready for sinkingyesterday afternoon in the artificial :lake which fills the excavation in which :the caissons were constructed, states .the Christchurch "Star-Sun," The tow-ing of the caisson over a distance of :twelve chains to the point where it ;was to be sunk was carried out yester- '.day morning in the presence of the ]Minister of Public Works <Mr 'Armstrong). Five more caissons iremain to be floated and towed into iplace, and after the lake has been ipumped dry the false bulkheads willbe removed and each huge concrete in- <lake will bo joined together, and sub- 1sequently three more will be con- 'structed on the spot at the shore end of ithe line. This method of constructing 'an irrigation intake is a job that hasnever been attempted in New Zealand 'before and there are few similar casesanywhere else in the world. Someidea of the capacity of the caissons isgiven by the fact that they will takea flow of 1000 cusecs, or 6200 gallonsa second, or a flow equivalent to thirtytimes the normal flow of the River (Avon. Each of the five smaller cais- isons is 89 feet long, and the actual in- ]take caisson is longer still. They are l20 feet wide, 12 deep, with a concrete ifloor two feet thick. The walls are 13 3inches thick, and they took over a year 11to build. 11

ACCUSING RUINSTHF TFIWPIF DFFIIFf)

WHERE SHADOWS WALK

SAINTS AND SINNERS

(By G.0.)The 79th Psalm may have recurred

to many this week when they readof the destruction of the TempleChurch, of the Halls and other build-ings of the Middle and Inner Temple.This defilement, these blackened ruins,dumbly and eloquently testify againstthe heathenism of the Hun and his ab-horrence of the Christian faith and allthat it signifies. The round churchof the Knights Templars is now "acharred shell." Curiously enough, theorigins of that church were associatedwith the present conflict: Christianityagainst paganism. The only differenceis in the battle standards raised; theCross opposed to the swastika, not thecrescent. The Knights Templars mayhave been distinguished more for theirmilitancy than piety, but they foughtfor what they believed to be the rightand according to certain rules whichowed something to Christian teaching.Here in this ancient church building,from the twelfth century tc the twen-tieth, their memory has beer jealouslypreserved; here, also, in records ofstonr are remembered other warriors,no less doughty, no less sincere of pur-pose, who put aside their wigs andgowns and went out to fight, and fallin fighting for the right, in 1914-18.

To this sacred place in our dayscame pilgrims from far lands to theancient Knights unknown. Out ofthe noise and bustle of a great riverof traffic they turned into a, still back-water, as it were, and so they cameupon the round church. They came>toworship and to wonder at the beautyand dignity of Divine service, to marvel at the beauty and dignity of thefabric and the marvels of cunningworkmanship. They came to gaze uponthe recumbent effigies in stone ofknights who put their trust in swordand chain mail and shield, as well asin God. The pilgrims did not knowand perhaps (excepting antiquaries)they did not care how much undoingof "restoration" the Temple Churchhas known, but took it all for what itwas to them—almost too beautiful tobe the handiwork of men. Now it isbut a charred shell."

The story of the Temple Church,g< ing back as it does to 1185, is fartoo long to outline here. It is a storycalling for specialists to tell, but it isone exceedingly x rich in incidents,some authentic, some legendary, butall going to make up the stirring his-tory of the English from Normantimes. To many having no knowledgeof archaeology or architecture or oflaw-making and all that goes with it,the charm of the Temple and its greathouses and lovely gardens and treeswas sufficient. Here the imaginationcould have free play in summoningshadows of innumerable personages,real and fictional, haunting those courtsand squares and certain sets of rooms.Doctor Johnson, for instance, couldbe imagined rolling under the arch-way out of Fleet Street at the call ofOliver Goldsmith. The trouble was amatter of unpaid rerrt. BesidesOliver, in this brief comedy, was hisindignant landlady with a sheriff'sofficer acting a small but importantpart. Here, it is said, the doctor readthe M.S. of "The Vicar of Wakefield"and was so much impressed by $smerits that he was instrumental in per-suading a publisher to pay £60 forthe copyright; but this story isapocryphal. Goldsmith lived up toevery penny he had and when hehadn't a penny he lived. He liked lowcompany as well as high and he paida lot of money for his experiences ofhuman nature. Here in the Temple helived, here he died, and was buriedin the* company of Christian knightsand gentlemen. His tomb has now beenviolated. Sheridan knew the Templewell. Could but the red brick walls(the colour of old wine) disclose thethoughts of men passing between themtell what they absorbed, what wouldthey say of Sheridan and Burke?Charles Lamb lived in the Temple andhe assured Wordsworth that he wouldlive nowhere else than in his belovednoisy, smokey, grimy London. "Have Inot enough," he wrote, "without yourmountains?" Here too in the flesh, nodoubt, E. V. Lucas wandered in searchof shadows cast by Lamb.

It was in Fountain Court that RuthPinch met John Westlock and by "thefountain sparkling in the sun." To-gether the lovers gazed down GardenCourt to the Gardens and beyond themto the River. Here also the shadow ofDick Phenyl (not in his cups) couldbe seen in the mind's eye, expoundinghis version of the story of Cinderellawith "no pumpkin, and no fairy."

The Temple is haunted by shadows-is or was? Perhaps all of them havenow been blitzed out of the place,never to return. How could they findtheir way back to another and possiblygreater Temple, rebuilt on "entirelymodem lines?"

THE W.A.A.F.

AN EXTENSION

OTHER AIR STATIONS

The Women's Auxiliary Air Force isto be extended to the Royal New Zea-land Air Force Station at Harewood,and later postings are to be made fromthe auxiliary to the Wigram Stationand the Ground Training School atLevin.

The Minister of Defence (Mr. Jones)stated last night that the scheme hadprogressed sutliciently to warrant itsextension beyond the initial stage,during which members of theauxiliary were being gradually ab-sorbed into the Royal New ZealandAir Force Station at Rongotai.

"It is now proposed," continuedMr. Jones, "to post approximately 110selected applicants to the Royal NewZealand Air Force Station, Harewood,by the end of this week, and theywill take over a variety oi positions,including mess staff, clerical work,fabric work, and parachute pack-ing."

The Minister said that the selectionof applicants for the auxiliary wasproceeding steadily. It was anticipatedthat postings to Wigram would beginabout the middle of June, and theGround Training School, Levin, wouldbe dealt with approximately one monthlater.

CALL TO ACTIONTHE WAR EFFORT

TELLING THE PUBLIC

AN INFORMATIONMINISTRY?

Reference to the need for a cam-paign to increase the Dominion'swar effort was again made by dele-gates to the annual conference ofthe New Zealand Returned Sol-diers' Association yesterday after-noon. Two remits were consideredby the conference, one being adopt-ed and the other rejected.The remit adopted was as follows:—

That this Dominion council takesa serious view of the statement madeby the Acting Prime Minister (Mr.Nash) at the opening of this annualgeneral meeting, when he said: "Not5 per cent, of the people of NewZealand realised what was at stakein the present war." and requests theGovernment to set up forthwith aMinistry of Information to informthe people of New Zealand on allmatters pertaining to New Zealand'sobligations in the struggle and alsoto help in creating that spirit whichis essential to a wholehearted efforton the part of all to win the war.Th second remit read: "This Domin-

ion council views with concern thepractice of Ministers of the Crownmaking important defence policy state-ments over the radio, and considersit is not proper that such statementsshould be made in this manner." Inmoving it, Mr. D. W. Russell (Christ-church) said that on various occasionsstatements had been broadcast whichcontained information that could be ofuse to the enemy. He had been toldthat Dr. Goebbels had thanked NewZealand for giving him informationhe wanted.

Mr. C. O. Bell (Wellington) said thatthe reason why Ministers gave nationalservice talks was to implement whatthe conference was asking for in cheprevious remit. He considered thatthey could rely on their political lead-ers not to reveal what should not beknown. i

Mr. N. Colquhoun (Oamaru) said thatthe people of New Zealand were en-titled to have facts about the war ef-fort. If they tried to stop that theywould be adopting a "hush, hush"policy that would be harmful.

After other delegates had expressedsimilar views, the remit was rejected.

BLOOD AND TEARS

BUT WHERE THESWEAT?

A WARNING FOR ALL

Mr. Churchill on the outbreak ofwar offered us nothing but sweatand blood and tears to secure vic-tory. The blood and tears arenow flowing, but we in this coun-try have to ask ourselves whatabout the sweat?This statement was made by Mr. S.

Blackley, the retiring chairman of theHutt County Council, when reviewingthe year's work at yesterday's annualmeeting."In'times such- as they were passing

through at present, he continued, withthe whole British Empire in armsagainst the tyranny which was seekingto destroy the democracies, co-opera-tion between all members of the com-munity was most necessary. Theirwhole-hearted efforts were called forin the fight the Empire and Allies weremaking with the support of the UnitedStates of America.

"The Acting Prime Minister said afew days ago that he believed not morethan 5 per cent, of the people of NewZsaland realised how serious the warsituation is," said Mr. Blackley. "Ifthis is the case after one and a halfyears of the most merciless war theworld has ever known, it is time thoseL. positions of responsibility summonedthe people to their senses before it istoo late. Marshal Petain. when explain-ing the defeat of France, said, 'Thepeople demanded more than they hadgiven and wanted to spare themselveseffort, and today misfortune has come.'Let everyone take the warning beforeit is too late."

That is the Germanised name Joyce("Lord Haw-Haw") now wears andbears. This was discovered in anautobiography of his which reachedAmerica a month ago. It is titled"Twilight Over England," and, ac-cording to one well-known New Yorkcritic, the book is a typical Fascisthotch-potch of anti-Semitic, anti-Brit-ish outpourings. There was interestonly in the preface, which provideddossier details. Scarfacsd Joyce wasborn in 1906, the son of an Irishfather and British mother. Educatedby the Jesuits in Ireland, Joyce be-came a Fascist in 1923 and joinedMosley's bunch of hoodlums. Nowj"Frohlich," he orates in his book: "ABritish victory would put an end toall prospects for ever of social justiceand fundamental economic reform."He adds: "There are two guarantees,for me sufficient: the greatness ofAdolf Hitler and the Greater Gloryof the Almighty God." ~

UNABATED FURY

Struggle In Crete

DEFENCE SITUATION

Very Delicate And Serious

Reports that Italian troops havelanded at the eastern end of Creteare not confirmed. It is recognisedin London that the Italians wouldwant to be associated with the cam-paign. This would be due to twomotives—the first political, and thesecond the natural habits of thejackal—and in these circumstances itis considered that the report mightbe true.

Bombers of the R.A.F. on Wednes-day night made a second raid on theisland of Scarpanto, which lies be-

x tween Crete and Rhodes. FurtherGerman reinforcements, the Cairocommunique states, have reached theisland by air.

It is reported from Cairo that Herac-lion (Candia) is still in British hands,though the Germans claim to havetaken it.

Every report shows that the Ger-mans have gained their successes atthe cost of very heavy sacrifices, bothin planes and in highly-trained men.

AIR ENCOUNTERS.A Cairo communique says that long-

range R.A.F. fighters have encounteredGerman planes between Crete and theNorth African coast. Yesterday theyshot down two of them, a Dornier anda Junkers 88, and damaged others sobadly that ;t is considered unlikely thatthey got back.

The military spokesmen do not con-ceal the gravity of the situation onland. As a result of the British with-drawal east of Suda Bay, the Germanshave got more room in the west of theisland.

Observers who have just returned toEgypt from Crete say that if a Britishair force had been operating there theGermans could have been held.

One message from Cairo says thatCrete has been; held by the garrisonand a few reinforcements. The Ger-mans have been able to bring in freshtroops all the time. All observers paytribute to the work of the Navy inpreventing the landing of sea-bornetroops and in the taking off of wound-ed men in destroyers and small boats.One man walked 70 miles before hewas taken off.

In the early days of the Germanattack before they evacuated the aero-dromes in Crete the R.A.F. pilots hada terrific time, and one pilot said theyhad a man-size job getting the planesinto the air to prevent them beingdestroyed on the ground. One Hurri-cane pilot was last seen with 20 Messer-schmitts on his tail, and another pilotwho had never flown a Hurricane tookone up against hordes of Germans.He brought down five before he losthis life against overwhelming odds.

TRIBUTE TO THE MAORIS.In spite of the absence of air sup-

port, the British land forces werewilling to take on the Germans atodds of three to one, although the Ger-mans were well equipped and wereconstantly being reinforced by freshtroops.

Men arriving back in Egypt paid atribute to the fight put up by theMaoris. One said: "They had theirchance this time, and they foughtamazingly and with the best of spirits."

Both the Germans and the Italianssaid tonight that the occupation ofCrete is not an aim in itself. SignorGayda, writing in the ' "Giornaled'ltalia," says that it is only a phaseof the large-scale Mediterranean battle.The official German news agency saidthat the occupation of Crete wouldchange the Mediterranean situation.

A Scottish gunner spoke of the Ger-mans' complete disregard for losses,and said it was quite clear that Hitlerwas prepared to go on with theslaughter of his men indefinitely, totry to prove that air occupation of theisland was possible.

LONDON, May 30.The battle of Crete has now entered on its

eleventh daywith unabated fury.There is no indication of any improvement in

the situation, which is described as very delicateand serious.

A Cairo communique states that the Britishtroops have again exacted a heavy toll of the enemy,but yesterday, in spite of their ever-mountinglosses, German air-borne reinforcements continueto reach the island and the defenders were inten-sively dive-bombed throughout the day.

Further adjustments have been made in the position heldby the Empire troops. The extent of these adjustments is notstated, but it was announced yestercfay that the forces hadwithdrawn to positions east of Suda Bay.

ITALIAN REPORTSWAR IN MEDITERRANEAN

(Rec. 1 p.m.) LONDON, May 30An Italian communique reports that

the Conte Rosso (17,879 tons), whensailing in a convoy in the Mediter-ranean, was hit by a torpedo. Themajor part of the crew were saved.

It adds that Italian planes have re-peatedly attacked enemy naval forcesin the Eastern Mediterranean, and thata British destroyer blew up after beinghit by a bomb, many of the crew beingrescued.—U.P.A.

WAR-STREWN PLAIN,The havoc around Canea and Suda

Bay has levelled olive groves andstrewn the whole 10-mile coastal plainwith wounded and dead and with thewreckage of broken cars, guns, lorries,carts, and village houses.

When, after 60 hours of continuousassault, the Germans finally enteredCanea on May 28, they found thetown a blackened ruin. The only signof life was the wounded being tendedunderground by a few British doctorsand Greek assistants.

The Cairo correspondent of the"Daily Express" says that low-flyingGerman aircraft are bombing the Bri-tish wounded embarking in fishingboats and small steamers.

The Berlin correspondent of the"New York Times" has cabled hispaper saying: "The evidence over-whelmingly indicates that the fall ofCrete is imminent, due primarily toBritain's lack of local air power."

GERMANS' HARDEST FIGHT.One military expert in Cairo esti-

mated the German air-borne troops inCrete at 30,000, though it is admittedlydifficult to estimate accurately theenemy forces in such a confused situa-tion, where attack and counter-attackalternate unendingly, especially in theareas near the vita] Suda Bay.

It is stated in Cairo that Britishreinforcements of men and materialhave reached Crete, but it is uncertainwhether these are in addition to thosementioned last night.

The German news agency says thatthe hardest fight, to capture Canea, oc-curred around a British stronghold inthe mountainous village of Galatos.where finally a break-through dis-rupted the whole of the British de-fences between Canea and the highmountains. The German agency claim-ed that the British were making everypreparation to escape by sea.—U.P.A.

Shipping circles have heard reportsthat, many other vessels will shortlybe commandeered for a huge fleet oftransports.—U.P.A.

PEAK OF BATTLEBRITISH HANG ON GRIMLY

THE STRAIN TELLS

INCESSANT FIGHTING

LONDON, May 30,

The Battle of Crete is at itspeak, and the troops on both sidesare described as being in a stageof extreme fatigue and strain, saysthe Cairo correspondent of "TheTimes." Men who have not wash-ed for a week and have snatchedcold food only in pauses of thebattle are meeting at the point ofthe bayonet.

The British line hangs on grimly inrough country just above the sea eastof Suda Bay. Further east, at Retimo,the situation is quieter, but fightinghas broken out afresh round Candia,where the British forces have neverceased to hold the town.

Royal Air Force bombers are con-centrating along the beaches, wherethe Germans are frantically trying tolevel out runways. There are neverless than 100 enemy aircraft on theground, with others landing and tak-ing off. One report puts the Germanair losses at well over 3000, not includ-ing dive-bombers shot down by theNavy.

The headquarters attitude is notoptimistic, though the length andtoughness of Major-General Freyberg's

"NO PEACE WITH MADDOG" <

WASHINGTON. May 30Lord Halifax said that Britain

would "fight on" regardless of theextent of United States aid, because"there can be no peace with a maddog."This referred to reports that Britain

was ready to conclude a separate peaceunless the United States entered thewar quickly.

Lord Halifax warmly praised Presi-dent Roosevelt's speech, which, hesaid, had heartened Britain. LordHalifax emphasised, however, thatBritain was depending on the aid ofthe United States, and added that theplans to train British pilots in theUnited States were immeasurably help-ful.

He said he was not familiar with Mr.Eden's speech on war aims, but he wassure that, in speaking of keeping Ger-many powerless to wage another war,Mr. Eden referred only to military re-strictions.

Lord Halifax predicted that the ulti-mate peace will be made by Britain,the United States, the Latin Americannations, and "those who wish to remainfree."—U.P.A.

POST-WAR EUROPE

EMPIRE ASSISTANCE

FOOD STOCKS ACCUMULATED(Rec. 9 a.m.) RUGBY, May 30,

"To organise the transition to peace-ful activities will need the collabora-tion of the United States, of ourselves,and of all free countries which havenot themselves suffered the ravages ofwar," said the Foreign Secretary, Mr.Anthony Eden, in his speech at theMansion House. "The Dominions andourselves can make our contributionbecause the British Empire will actu-ally possess overseas enormous stocks offood and materials which we are ac-cumulating so as to ease the problemsof overseas producers during the warand of reconstructed Europe after thewar.

"What has Germany to offer on herside? Absolutely nothing. Ai. officialof the Reich Ministry of Economics,in a moment of hard realism, pub-lished last autumn a statement thatthe present German rationing systemmust continue for at least a year afterthe restoration of peace, and perhapsfor several years.

"The demand for food, clothing, andother articles of prime necessity,which cannot be satisfied under warconditions, will," he went on to say,"again become active after the peace,but the production of such commodi-ties will not for a long while exceedthe wartime output.

"All this is not only true, but ob-vious. But if peace brings disappoint-ment and such conditions continue be-yond the disciplined period of war,social security can hardly survive."—8.0.W

DUTCH EAST INDIES

NEW JAPANESE DEMANDS

(Rec. 9 a.m.) TOKIO, May 30The "Nichi Nichi Shimbun" and the

"Yomiuri Shimbun," in vehement edi-torials, have reiterated the purely eco-nomic nature of the Japanese pi'oposalsto the Netherlands East Indies, andangrily warned that "adequate steps"may have to be taken by Japan inthe event of the conversations collaps-ing. The newspapers emphasised thefact that Japan's southward policywould not be affected in the least eitherby the international position or what-ever attitude the Netherlands EastIndies authorities may decide to adopt.

An official spokesman denied that theJapanese sought British good officesin the deadlock with the NetherlandEast Indies, although admitting that itwas possible that the British had beenrequested to place no obstacles inJapan's way. The meeting yesterdayof the British Ambassador, Sir RobertCraigie, with the Japanese Vice-Minis-ter for Foreign Affairs was said to havebeen concerned with economic mattersbetween Britain and Japan alone.

The "Asahi Shimbun" said that theForeign Office regards the applicationof export control to the Philippines aspart of the United States economicpressure on the Axis Powers, andadded that Japanese counter-measureswould depend on the nature of theactual enforcement of this control.—U.P.A.

ENTRY TO THE WAR

EXPECTED BY AMERICANS

NEW YORK, May 29A survey by the American Institute

of Public Opinion, directed by Dr.George Gallup, indicates that the num-ber of voters who believe that theUnited States will enter the war hasdoubled since hostilities started. Thelatest poll shows that 85 per cent, be-lieve that the United States will fight,compared with 46 per cent, in Febru-ary, 1940.

The "New York Herald-Tribune"says that a survey by the student divi-sion of Federal Union. Incorporated,shows that 91 per cent, of editors of300 college newspapers want Englandto win. Forty-seven per cent, favourUnited States' participation at an un-specified future date.—U.P.A.

told the story of a British cruiser'sinterception of the French ship Win-nipeg, of 8379 tons.

German passengers were celebratingin champagne their expected early ar-rival at Martinique when the cruiserfired a shot across the Winnipeg's bow.The Germans threw hundreds of lettersand documents overboard. Hundredsof the German passengers were in-terned.—U.P.A.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS

GERMAN CONCENTRATIONS

NEW YORK, May 30Germany continues to withdraw

troops from the Balkans and concen-trate a formidable army on the Rus-sian-Polish and Russian-Rumanian bor-ders, says the "New York Times" cor-respondent in Ankara.

The tank divisions used againstGreece are being routed through theSiret valley across Slovakia toPoland.

It is reported reliably that the con-centrations against Russia are onlyprecautionary, in spite of the Ruma-nian belief that a thrust against theUkraine is likely to be made thisyear.—U.P.A.

COURSE OF VICHYSHOCK TO THE BRITISH

AID TO NAZIS GROWS

PRETENCE OVER SFAX(Rec. 10.30 a.m.) RUGBY, May 30

It is almost exactly a year sinceFrance, after the overrunning ofher country by the Germanarmoured divisions, signed a separ-ate armistice with the enemy. Sincethat time there has been a genuineand generous ttempt by the Bri-tish Press and public to view withunderstanding and sympathy thesituation in which Vichy is placedGradually but inevitably the people

of Britain have abandoned hope, andthe manifest subservience to the Ger-mans of Vichy under the increasingdominance of Admiral Darlan hasforced the public to realise that, how-ever much Vichy acts against the truespirit and desires of the French peopletheir Government is actually preparedtc assist the enemy in an effort todefeat the Allied cause. A recentviolently anti-British article by Ad-miral Darlan in the newspaper"Gringoire," in which he claims thatBritain was the instigator of war, hasdeeply shocked British public opinion,although the anti-British actions byVichy have been steadily increasing.

NAZIS HELPED TO LIBYA.The revelation that Vichy permit-

ted the Germans to use French colonial*waters for sending reinforcements totheir Libyan armies has caused muchbitterness. This bitterness has beenincreased by the evidence of Vichy'swilling assistance to Germany's wareffort in various other directions,notably permitting the use of Frenchairfields in Syria by the Luftwaffe.

The protest from Vichy, which is re-ported to be on its way, against theBritish bombing of the Tunisian portof Sfax, where an Italian convoy wassheltering, contrary to an elementaryprinciple of international law, is re-garded as mere hypocrisy.

ACTION GROWING.In connection with the growing

assistance of Vichy to Germany, the"Manchester Guardian" says: "Conse-quently our armed action on, or over,territory controlled by Vichy is grow-ing. From the published facts, theprotest made by Vichy about thebombing of Sfax seems impertinent.

"It is a sound principle of inter-national law which forbids neutrals toallow their territory or territorialwaters to be made bases for the war-like activities of either belligerent."—8.0.W.

DRIVE IN AFRICA

DARLAN PREPARING?

CONVOYS SENT TO DAKAR

(Rec. 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 30Admiral Darlan is apparently pre-

paring to reconquer Free French WestAfrica in accordance with a promiseto Germany, says the "Evening Stan-dard's" Berne correspondent.

Sixteen French convoys are reportedto have arrived at Dakar laden with

men, tanks, guns, and armoured carswhich Germany returned to France. Aconsiderable amount of petrol has beenshipped, and there are several squad-rons of warplanes expected to go toMorocco shortly.

The shipments are being made intremendous haste, the ships returningfrom Dakar in ballast, although greatquantities of much-needed produce isawaiting transport to France.

The supporters of General de Gaulleare reported to be most active in thehinterland of Dakar. Desertions ofmen of the air force to the Free Frenchunits have reached such proportionsthat the Dakar authorities now allowpilots only a bare minimum of petrolfor an assignment. However, anotherfour planes reached Free French air-fields recently.

Military patrols get "captured" withremarkable frequency.—U.P.A.

GREAT BRAVERYTHE BISMARCK'S FIGHT

EYE-WITNESS ACCOUNTS

NAVY'S RESCUE TASKINTERRUPTED

LONDON, May 30,Eye-witness accounts are now com-

ing in of the chase and sinking of theGerman battleship Bismarck.

Officers and men who took part inthe kill state that the Bismarck waspursued relentlessly by British fightingships and harried by British bombers,but it was not until she was attackedby torpedo bombers that she decidedto take any drastic action to escape.The earlier attacks were made by dive-torpedo bombers from ships 120 milesaway.

Eventually the German battleshipstarted for Brest, and after a chase ofabout 36 hours the British ships tem-porarily lost sight of her.

One officer described the all-daysearch for the Bismarck as messageswere received from the Admiralty.Later came a report that the enemyhad turned westwards and was puttingup a smoke screen. Then came newsthat she had been hit and her speed re-duced to 12 knots, and that she wassteaming north-west. Planes from theArk Royal then sighted her and re-ported that she had reduced speed. Allships were kept informed, and filially,at dawn on May 27 came the message"enemy in sight."

The final attack was made soon after9 a.m. The Rodney and the KingGeorge V engaged her with their mainarmaments, and the Bismarck was ableto reply, returning the fire almostsimultaneously. The first impressionwas that the Bismarck was partly outof control and steering very wildly,but nevertheless she came right intothe attack. Her first salvo fell a thou-sand yards short, "and her second,"said the officer, "straddled us." In theensuing fight the enemy continued tofire while the British ships fired fromall directions. After 25 minutes theBismarck's gunfire became intermit-tent, and then she was silenced, butshe gave no sign of surrender and herbattle-colours were kept flying untilthe Dorsetshire torpedoed her witheight or nine torpedoes.

British seamen said that the enemyfought with great bravery. Apparentlythe German officers and men believedto the last that the Bismarck was un-sinkable, and expected support fromGerman aircraft, which did not appear.

As she heeled over, hundreds ofblack dots were seen swarming overher hull—human beings making a lasteffort to escape. Then the Navy beganthe difficult task of rescuing survivors.As the rescue work was going on, areport was received that enemy sub-marines were in the vicinity and thatthe British ships must get under way.

HOOD'S END DESCRIBED.About 80 survivors from the Bis-

marck were landed at a British porttoday. The end of the Hood is de-scribed as an almost unbelievable night-mare. In the space of minutes one ofthe greatest disasters of naval historytook place. The Hood appeared to behit just forward of one of her 15-inchgun turrets. A large fire broke out,but she continued to fire and race for-ward. There was a terrible explosion,and the whole of the vast ship wasenveloped in a sheet of flame andsmoke which rose high into the air inthe shape of a giant mushroom. Sec-tions of the funnel, masts, and otherparts were thrown up hundreds offeet, and soon all that remained wasa patch' of smoke on the water andsome small pieces of wreckage. Thereare only three survivors.

SHADOWED BY CRUISERS

DIFFICULT TASK

'A MASTERLY PERFORMANCE'

CRec. 12.50 p.m.) RUGBY, May 30Speaking of the ship manoeuvres

which resulted in the destruction ofthe Bismarck, a naval officer drewspecial attention to the difficult taskand the successful performance by thecruisers Norfolk and Suffolk, whichshadowed the Nazi battleship all nighton May 25, throughout the followingday, and most of that night.

These ships, of course, were muchsmaller than the Bismarck, and farless heavily armoured or armed, andtheir duty was to keep her in theirsight while taking the fullest advant-age of all the tricks of night andweather to keep themselves out of herrange of vision and, as far as pos-sible, of her guns. Besides being smallgame for a battleship, these shadow-ing craft had to avoid superficialdamage, because their chief functionwas to act as floating wireless plat-forms, and their transmitters couldeasily be put out of action.

The difficulties of these fcruisors wereincreased considerably because of thegreat variations in visibility. Rainand snowstorms which were continu-ally encountered caused them hurried-ly to increase their speed to keep theBismarck in sight, and they knew allthe time that a sudden clearance mightexpose them to the full force of thebattleship's guns.

The fact that they kept track of herall the way down past the Greenlandice-barrier was described by the officeras a "masterly performance." The offi-cer also paid a special tribute to thework of the Fleet Air Arm.—B.O.W.

BEING HEMMED INENEMY IN ETHIOPIA

AIR ONSLAUGHT CONTINUES

TWO FORCES REMAIN(Rec. 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, May 30,

A Nairobi communique statesthat operations in the lakes area inAbyssinia and to the west are pro-ceeding, and numbers of desertershave come over to our forces. Theactivity of patriots is still increas-ing. Their attacks on enemy com-munications and outlying detach-ments are of great assistance toour operations generally.

In Abyssinia the evacuation ofDebarech, 50 miles north of Gon-dar, on the Adowa road, and theretreat of the enemy towardsGondar suggest that they are nowbeing hemmed in.Patriot forces, with British officers,

carried out operations at Debarech,and British forces are at Chalga, tothe west, where an Italian counter-attack recently failed, and at DebraTabor, to the south-west, while LakeTsana, to the south, is a natural obstacleto the Italians.

Gondar, in the north, and Jimma,|in the south, are now the only twoplaces where enemy forces are inbeing.

LIBYAN OPERATIONS.In Libya a small advance by our

forces at Tobruk was announced. Thisstraightened out part of our positionin the western defences, which wereoccupied by the Germans when theymade a dent there some time ago.

In Abyssinia the South African AirForce continues to harass the Italianforce which is still holding out in theregion of Jimma. Direct hits weremade on roads and also on buildings,some of which were set on fire. Trans-port vehicles north of the Alghe weredestroyed.

In the Gondar area, targets at Azozoand Digya were bombed and machine-gunned.

In Libya a large formation of enemyaircraft raided Tobruk. 'Four were shotdown by anti-aircraft fire and severalothers damaged. " ,

From all these operations five of ourplanes are missing.—B.O.W.

CAUGHT IN A TRAP

ITALIANS' HEAVY LOSSES

LONDON, May 30,

Italian forces in the Jimma area areabout 25,000 strong. Fifty miles northof Gondar the Italians have evacuatedan important, town, and in this vicinityabout 17,000 Italians are being steadilysurrounded. An agency dispatch fromNairobi gives details of the campaignin the lakes district. The fighting thereis described as fierce. The Italians werecaught between two forces—the King'sAfrican Rifles and Gold Coast forcesassisted by patriot troops.

Of all the enemy forces in this areaonly about 1000 men of the 24th Divi-sion are unaccounted for. They haveleft the road and may be endeavouringto go round Lake Marguerita. An areaof 10,000 square miles has now beencleared of enemy forces. Our forcesadvancing from the south have cap-tured more than 7000 prisoners, and theenemy was completely annihilated.

In the Sollum area patrol activitycontinues. The Germans have made noattempt to advance beyond HellfirePass.

AIR OFFENSIVEPRESSURE BY THE ALLIES

RUGBY, May 29A Cairo communique states: "In

Abyssinia operations by our own troopsand by patriots are continuing satis-factorily in all areas."

R.A.F. aircraft bombed and machine-gunned military objectives at Gondar,and Debarech, obtaining direct hits onbuildings. Free French aircraft bombedand machine-gunned the aerodrome atAzozo.

In Northern Abyssinia British andImperial forces are systematicallyclearing blocked roads north of Dessie.In the south, patriot forces withBritish officers surrounded Bako, wherethe strength of the Italian garrison isnot known here.—8.0.W.

BENGHAZ RAIDED

ARREST OF REITH

WASHINGTON, May 30.The Attorney-General, Mr. R. H.

Jackson, announced that the high-ranking Nazi Party member Dr. KurtReith was arrested in New York andtaken to Ellis Island, pending deporta-tion proceedings. He is charged withgiving a false explanation of his entryinto the United States.—U.P.A.

The '"New York Herald-Tribune" onMay 24 said that Dr. Reith, a Germandiplomat, was in New York chargedwith the task of buying American-owned oil properties in eastern Europewhich at present are almost valuelessto Americans. It was said that he hadarrived via Rio de Janeiro, where hecalled a conference of Nazi diplomatsin South America to plan greater Axispenetration.

REGIME COLLAPSES

Rebels In Irak

BRITISH ADVANCE ONBAGDAD

LONDON, May 30.The quisling regime of Rashid Ali in Irak has collapsed,

and, disappointed in the promise of German help, he has fledthe country into Iran.

The flight of Rashid Ali has been followed by a broadcastfrom Bagdad telling the Iraki soldiers to give up their arms.

In his flight, Kashid Ali took with him two of his sup-porters—Sharaf, the man he appointed as Regent in place ofthe Amir Abdul Ilia, and his chief of staff, Amin Zaki.

A broadcast from Bagdad madethe announcement that a Commissionof Internal Security had been estab-lished. This so-called commissionordered the dissolution of the mili-tary forces and urged all young mento give up their arms and go backinto civilian clothes. The popula-tion was urged to remain calm anddisciplined and was warned againstdisturbances.

The promise of German help to therebels never materialised, thoughVichy complied in allowing the use ofSyrian aerodromes, and. it graduallybecame clear that with the Germanpreoccupation in Crete Rashid Ali'sresistance would soon crumble.

The true Regent of Irak, who hasreturned to the country, continues toreceive many loyal deputations.

The British forces in Irak are nowclose to Bagdad. One mobile columnwhich has been advancing from thenorth-west is now at Kadaimain, onlyfive miles from the city. Another col-umn advancing from the west hasreached a point eight miles from the

city, but its progress has been hin-dered by damage to a bridge and byextensive floods.

The British advance from Basra isalso continuing. A force advancingup the Euphrates has occupied Liquait,about 50 miles south-east of Ur.

The R.A.F. has continued to play itspart in the campaign. Fighter planeshave carried out patrols in support ofthe advancing troops, and bombers andreconnaissance planes have co-operatedwith the mechanised columns.

It is reported that Italian planes aswell as German have been encounteredover Irak, and one of three Italianplanes which were intercepted by re-connaissance aircraft was shot downnear Khan.

R.A.F. bombers have carried out asuccessful attack on an important aero-drome in Syria.

% It is emphasised that a Vichy reportthat the young King Feisal has beentaken into Iran with Rashid Ali shouldbe treated withreserve. It is not con-firmed from any other source.

(Rec. noon.) LONDON, May 30.The Rome radio reports that Rashid

Ali has arrived at Ankara.—U.P.A.

SUNDAY WORK

EFFORTS FOR REDUCTION

RUGBY, May 27,

Questioned in the House of Com-mons regarding recommendations incommittee on the National Expendi-ture report regarding the abolition ofSunday work, the Minister of Labourstated that except in very special casesthey were in reference to the aircraftindustry, broadly in accordance withthe view expressed on behalf of theGovernment. Some progress had beenmade in that direction, and he wasconsidering, with his colleagues,methods by which Sunday work mightbe reduced to the utmost extent com-patible with the flexibility necessaryfor production and the requirementsof specially urgent work.

The aircraft industry had certainpeculiarities, in the sense that changeof type was so frequent that they keptgetting a hiatus, and then they hadto go all out after the re-tooling of aworkshop to make up productionagain. They could not run the indus-try on the balanced order of someother industries.—8.0.W.

COLONIAL GIFTS

CONVERSION INTO PLANES

RUGBY, May 29.Ten colonial squadrons have been

named by the Air Ministry in recog-nition of money given by the coloniesto the Ministry of Aircraft Pro-duction for the purchase of fightersand bombers.

Ceylon's £455,700 came from theGovernment and through a fund raisedby the '"Times of Oteylon" newspaper.The Gold Coast has provided £650,000by way of a loan of £500,000, free ofinterest, and a gift of £150,000, includ-ing £50,000 made by a fund raised bythe Governor. Jamaica, through thenewspaper "Daily Gleaner," has givenclose on £100,000. Northern Rhodesiaand Trinidad have each contributedover £100,000. Uganda has sent£ 100,000 and the Federated MalayStates and Straits Settlements havegiven £700,800.

Since these sums were receivedmany territories have sent further con-tributions. Many other colonial terri-tories have contributed similar sums,and have had individual aircraft,named after them.—8.0.W.

CAPSIZE OF CARMR. FRASER IN EGYPT

SERIES OF SOMERSAULTS

PARTY'S INJURIES

(N.Z.E.F. Official News Service.)

CAIRO, May 29."That's that," said Mr. Fraser, as he

picked himself out of his car, whichsomersaulted four times on the Alex-andria-Cairo road and then landedsquarely on its wheels. Three occu-pants had been flung on the hard sandsand two others were inside the carwith Mr. Fraser.

On May 26 the Prime Minister andhis party flew from Cairo to Alex-andria, where they lunched. In theafternoon they visited New Zealandwar wounded from Crete in the Vic-toria Hospital. It was wonderful howcheerful the boys were. Sir ApiranaNgata's son is improving rapidly. Mr.Fraser gave a word of cheer and com-fort to the Maori lad, who receivedgrievous hand wounds during fiercefighting in Crete.

At 7 p.m. the party left in twocars for Cairo. Soon after leaving itbecame apparent that the second carwas giving trouble. The first cartravelled ahead, and, when the jour-ney was half completed, waited for thesecond car. It was obvious that thesecond car would continue to givetrouble, so the occupants, Mr. Jefferyand Captain Downs, joined the PrimeMinister, Brigadier Falla, and Mr,Berendsen in the first car.

The party continued the journey tillthe accident occurred. The time, veri-fied by a stopped watch, was 9.50 p.m.The right rear tyre blew out and som-ersaulted the car on to the sand. Theoccupants of the front seat, the driver,Captain Downs, and Mr. Jeffery, werehurled out during the somersault. Mr.Berendsen, in the middle of the backseat, retained a remarkably clear pic-ture. He described the feeling of de-tached interest he experienced as thecar left the road. He distinctly count-ed four somersaults, the last two beingvery slow.

Brigadier Falla received crushedribs and a broken left arm. His con-dition was serious, at first, but is im-proving rapidly. Mr. Jeflery was con-scious for some time after the accident,inquiring anxiously about the others,Later his condition was serious, withdelayed concussion, severe bodybruises, and a broken arm. but he isnow improving. Captain Downs re-ceived a broken finger and severeshock. The English driver received abroken thigh. These proceeded to hos-pital on the night of the accident.

Mr. Fraser and Mr. Berendsen sleptin the Embassy. They were up earlynext morning, inquiring as to the con-dition of the members of the party, anavisited the driver, being pleased at hisrecovery. In the afternoon they weresatisfied with the condition of theothers. _ ,

It is a tribute to Mr. Fraser s re-markable vitality that the accident didnot perceptibly upset him, except for

deep anxiety concerning the conditionof the others. An American corres.pondent remarked: "Your Prime Min-ister is a tough guy." ,

ENEMY ALIENSNEED FOR CONTROLLICENSING SUGGESTED

MOVE BY N.Z.R.S.A.

The activities of enemy aliens inNew Zealand, and means of pre-venting aliens from taking theplace of those who are serving inthe Armed Forces were discussedby the annual conference of theNew Zealand Returned Soldiers'Association yesterday afternoon.It was agreed that the Govern-ment should be requested to insti-tute a licensing system for allaliens entering a profession or busi-ness.

{ The following remit was moved by

fcflr. D. W. Russell (Christchurch) :—That this Dominion council of the

N.Z.R.S.A. is dissatisfied with theway the enemy alien problem isbeing dealt with by the Government,and urges the Government to im-mediately tighten up all regulationsapplicable to this extremely seriousmatter; and further urges that therebe absolutely no exemptions fromregistration of enemy aliens.Mr. P. J. Priest (Hastings) said that

he did not think the remit went farand moved as an amendment

•Jhat all enemy aliens with a residentialqualification of less than ten yearsshould be interned. That, he said,jwouldcover all enemy aliens who en-ftered New Zealand since Hitler cameinto power in Germany.

Mr. H. Holderness (Hastings), whoseconded the amendment, said that ittw?s the only way that a case whichhad occurred in Napier could be met.

an enemy alien had been re-.ported to the authorities and nothinghad been done. Later when he wasApprehended it was proved that hewas an "Auslander," to whom otheraliens had reported for instructions be-fore they reported to the authorities.• The^amendment was rejected and theremit/ adopted.f REFUGEE DOCTORS.

A Hastings remit asking that refugeedoctors should be debarred fromprivate practice was next considered.

Mr. C. O. Bell (Wellington) movedas an amendment:—

That no alien, enemy or otherwise,be allowed to commence in any busi-ness or profession without havingfirst obtained a licence from the ap-propriate Government Departmentconcerned, that such Departmenttake into consideration when decid-ing on the licence the fact of NewZealanders having had to give up asimilar class of business in an areato enter military service, and thatapplications for licences and thealien's status be advertised.Mr. Priest objected to licensing aliens

oil the ground that these men shouldnot enter any business.

The president (the Hon. W. Perry,M-L.C.) said the opinion of the B.M.A.was that alien doctors should be givenemployment in hospitals because of

"the shortage of doctors.Dr. A. W. Owen-Johnston (Invercar-

gill) said Mr. Bell's suggestion wasquite suitable, because the machineryalready existed in the Health Depart-ment for licensing and he could see*no reason why it should not be ex-pended to other Departments.

The amendment*• was carried.

SCOW OVERDUE

A SEARCH ARRANGED

(P.A.) INVERCARGILL, May 30,

Under instructions from the MarineDepartment the motor-vessel Tamatea,under Captain R. J. Hamilton, willleave Bluff tomorrow to search for thescow Horouta, which is now consideredconsiderably overdue.

The scow left Bluff on Wednesday oflast week for the Mutton Bird Islands,and has not been seen or heard ofsince. She was in command of Cap-tain A. T. Miller, who had with himMessrs. E. Wiig (mate), H. Woodcock(deck hand), G. Niven (engineer), anda cook. The scow has auxiliary en-gines as well as sail. It was thoughtthat Captain Miller might be shelter-ing in Easy Harbour on the west coastof Stewart Island, but the launchMystery, in the charge of Mr. C. Topi,arrived at Bluff this afternoon andreported having been in Easy Harbourand Pegasus Bay on Tuesday last, andthat there was no sign of the scow ineither place. Mr. Topi also reportedthat none of the parlies the scow wasto pick up had sighted the vessel andstores were running low.

There are several other anchoragesround Stewart Island, such as Mason'sBay, where the scow may be shelter-ing from the extremely rough weatherof the past few days.

FOUNDERS OF R.S.A.

PRESENTATIONS MADE

The New Zealand Returned Soldiers'Association, which was foundedtwenty-five years ago, originated in theminds of two Wellington men, Mr.James Harper and Mr. Claude Batten,and the annual conference of the asso-ciation marked the silver jubileeby presenting the two founders withconsole radio sets suitably marked witha silver R.S.A. badge. The presentationwas financed by branches of the asso-ciation throughout New Zealand andwas made on their behalf by the Do-minion president (the Hon. W. Perry,M.L.C.).

The presentations were to the twooldest members of the association whowere highly esteemed by all who knewthem, Mr. Perry said. Mr. Harper andMr. Batten had founded the R.S.A. andboth had been executive membersthroughout the years. Their record wasprobably hard to beat in the Empire.

Presidents of the metropolitan asso-ciations and Mr. G. Menzies (Napier),on behalf of the smaller associations,all referred to the great services thathad been given to returned soldiers bythe two men, Mr. Harper having beentreasurer of the association throughoutits existence as well as giving serviceon the Pensions Board, while Mr.Batten had been the first general sec-retary, the executive member respon-sible for the "N.Z.R.S.A. Review," anda member of the Repatriation Commit-tee.

Both Mr. Harper and Mr. Batten, in.thanking their fellow returned soldiersfor the presentations, made little ofwhat they had done, and Mr. Harpersummed up their feelings by sayingthat he had been able to help becausehe returned to New Zealand early,had had the confidence of returned sol-diers, had enjoyed good health, andhad a sympathetic wife who had al-lowed him to spend his time on asso-ciation affairs.

The two men were toasted withmusical honours.

Building permits to the number of18 and Ho the value of £7335 wereissued in the Hutt County during April.Permits during the previous 12 monthshave totalled 351 in. number and

IN EMERGENCYCOMPLETE BLACK-OUT

LIGHTING OF VEHICLES

NEW REGULATIONSAn amendment to the Lighting

Restrictions Emergency Regula-tions, gazetted last night, not onlyprovides for a complete black-outduring an emergency, but also re-stricts motor vehicle lighting insuch a contingency and during allhours of darkness in areas subjectto lighting restrictionsIn giving an explanation of the regu-

lations last night, the Acting Ministerof National Service (Mr, Wilson) saidthat the emergency warning signal, asin England, would consist of the sound-ing of a siren or similar device for asuccession of intermittent periods, andthe "all clear" signal would be indi-cated by a continuous signal of abouttwo minutes' duration. "Between thesesignals," said Mr. Wilson, "no light ispermitted to be visible from outside■of any building, vehicle, or enclosure,or otherwise than under cover, exceptthat motor vehicles in use must dis-play a parking lamp of not more thanseven watts on each side of tl\evehicle, in addition to the usual taillight, and all these lamps are to becovered with obscuring materials con-sisting of two sheets of newspaper ortheir equivalent."

A very important requirement formotorists to note is that they must atall times carry 5n their vehicles thefacilities Cor obscuring their lamps inthis way. Exemptions are provided inthe case of vehicles on urgent publicbusiness, such as ambulances.

VEHICLE LIGHTING.Mr. Wilson said the scheme for the

lighting of the vehicles other thanduring emergency periods was basedon two types of area, which were tobe indicated by black signs with whitelettering reading respectively: "Emer-gency headlight restriction area" and"Use parklights only—max. speed,20 m.p.h."

The "parklights only" areas would beprincipally certain limited streets inthe more important coastal centres, anain those areas the motor vehicle mightdisplay only parking lights and taillight. In consequence there was amaximum speed restriction for thoseareas of 20 miles an hour. If a vehiclewas parked in the "parkligtjts" area,no lights might be shown from it, andit must be parked off the roadway.Cyclists in a "parklights" area were notpermitted to display from the bicycle alight exceeding the brightness of aparking lamp, and they were requiredeither to walk with a bicycle while inthe area, or, ifthey rode it, to display ared tail lamp on the rear of the bicycle.

DIPPING PROVISION."In the 'headlight restriction' areas,

which will comprise the importantcoastal towns, it will be necessary thatthe lamps be so adjusted that in addi-tion to the tail light there is only theone headlamp displayed, on the nearor left-hand side of the vehicle, thisbeing in a 'dipped' position," said Mr.Wilson. "At the same time a parkinglamp is to be displayed on the off orright side of the vehicle. Two parkinglamps additional to the above mayalso be visible, if desired. It is ■ofparticular importance to note that aI'dipped' position of the headlight tomeet this provision requires that thelamp be so adjusted that the light de-scends at the rate of not less than eightinches in ten feet, measured hori-zontally. This is a greater degree ofdip than is required under the trafficregulations, and the majority of motor-ists will probably find that they haveto make some adjustments of theirlamps to meet the foregoing require-ment.

"Limitations are also set to the in-terior illumination which may be dis-played in passenger-service vehicleswithin the foregoing areas.

"The foregoing vehicle lighting re-strictions, while applying during thehours of darkness generally, do not in-clude any time later than 6.30 a.m. orearlier than 7 p.m. on any day, so thatthe restrictions will not apply duringthe busiest hours for traffic.

"These regulations," added the Minis-ter, "provide a very important part ofthe black-out precautions scheme whichit is in the interests of us all to complywith strictly, and I feel sure that Ishall have the full co-operation of themotorists in seeing that they are fol-lowed. In this connection I am pleasedto state that the motor ; unions andcarrying organisations, whom I haveconsulted concerning the regulations,are in complete agreement with them."

KIT GRIEVANCE

CHARGE FOR WEAR

FIJI MEN'S ALLEGATION(P.A.) •AUCKLAND, May 30,

Support for complaints made bymembers of the New Zealand Forcesin Fiji that they had been chargedwith the cost of clothing was givenby a party of nine men who producedtheir paybooks showing red ink debitentries and gave their version of theprocedure.

They said that towards the end ofJanuary or at the beginning of Feb-ruary they had been told to checkover their kit and parade at th/; ord-nance store to draw replacements.Some men needed new shirts, some re-quired new boots, others socks. Whenthey were handed the equivalent ar-ticles they proffered their worn-outgoods to the ordnance staff, who toldthem they were not wanted, and toget rid of them any way they could.

"We heard no more about the mattertill three months later, when we wereon the eve of embarking for New Zea-land," their spokesman said. "Thenwe were told that we would have topay for the articles which had beengiven us to replace our worn-out stuff.We protested, but it was' no use, be-cause we were told that if we did notsign a kit deficiency form and handin our paybooks to have the itemsdebited against us we would not beallowed to embark. Our officers couldnot do anything in the matter, andthere it rests.

"In the meantime the cost to eachindividual is not much, but we feelwe should support the protest whichhas been made, if only for the sakeof the men still there, and who maybe similarly treated. Quite definitely,though our paybooks show the entriesas being for kit deficiencies and wehave signed a kit deficiency form,these articles were not short in ourkit.

"We admit that if a man loses someportion of his equipment or clothingby carelessness he should pay for it,but there was nothing of the sort inthis case. Our shirts, socks, and under-clothes were definitely worn out, as itwill be understood they soon wouldbe, since in a climate like that of Fijithey must be washed almost everyday. We always understood that theArmy would replace anything thathad had fair wear and tear, but thathas not happened to us."

The soldiers could not say whetherthey had been charged the cost as fornew articles or on a scale which giveseach article a diminishing value ac-cording to the period of use in its ac-cepted life.

WOULD FAIL"FIFTH COLUMN" WORKDANGERS IN BRITAIN SHOWN

UNHAPPY FATE INARMY EXERCISES

(Rec. 2 p.m.) RUGBY, May 30.The speed and efficiency with which

the British defending forces willpounce on "fifth columnists" duringany invasion attempt are well de-scribed in a news agency account ofexercises carried out "somewhere inEngland."

Six "fifth columnists" of a "German"force which took part in the exerciseswere all specially trained soldiers,fully alive to the dangers peculiar totheir duties. Three of them operatedin uniform and three in civilianclothes. The leader, a sergeant, metwith an unhappy fate early in theexercises. Faulty information led himto the wrong headquarters and he was"written off."' Two other uniformed"fifth columnists" who were rangingthe countryside on powerful motor-cycles were spotted by their owntroops and shot up before their iden-tity could be established. Three ofthe civilians were on their way for along time. One, an ice-cream mer-chant, was naturally welcome whereverhe went. The invitation' on the frontof his barrow, "Stop me," was readilycomplied with. Much useful informa-tion went from him to the "German"headquarters. The other two civiliansoperated quietly among the Britishforces and passed back useful informa-tion to their headquarters. Another"fifth columnist" who operated as asoldier on leave in the area fromanother corps had a run for his "life"when he was being taken in by asentry for interrogation.

As the outcome of the exercises, theopinion is held that the Germans wouldnever be able to use the.ir "fifthcolumn" in Britain as in France andBelgium.—B.O.W.

OUT FROM ENGLAND

VICTIMS OF BOMBING

BIRMINGHAM'S ORDEAL

(0.C.) SYDNEY, May 17.A party of more than 300 men,

women, and children, some of whomwere bombed out of homes in Birming-ham, Coventry, Leeds, and London,have arrived in Sydney.

Australians who have been livingin England were among the arrivals,most of whom have worked as A.R.P.wardens, women bus inspectors, andfire-spotters. They told of hairbreadthescapes in recent Nazi air raids.

Mr. A. N. Tizard, an aircraft engi-neer, brought with him an unexplodedincendiary bomb. It was dropped froma Nazi machine as it flew over his sis-ter's home in Surrey. Mr. Tizard dis-mantled the bomb, which was dated"1936." It will be used for NationalEmergency Service demonstrations inSydney.

Mrs. A. Mountain, of Leeds, and Mrs.C. Robertson, from Halifax, were ona boat train on the way to the shipwhen a fire-raid started. "Fire bombswere raining down like jumpingcrackers," said Mrs. Mountain. "Theroof of our carriage and the runningboard caught alight. Two railwaymenreturning from work snuffed out thefire bombs with a large coffee mug.They put out the fires with their over-coats. Then came high-explosivebombs which rocked the train andsmashed every window. The traincrawled all the way to the embarkationport because the attack had weakenedthe permanent way."

Mr. George Izon, a retired official ofthe Birmingham Municipal Council,said that hundreds of factory workerswere killed in one raid on his town.Gas from broken mains had per-meated shelters, asphyxiating wholefamilies. For five weeks, water, gas,and electricity were cut off. They hadto walk more than a mile to a railwaysiding and queue up for hours to geta bucket of water. A cinema receiveda direct hit as he was going homeone night, and 400 people were killed.A land-mine in one street flattened adozen houses.

Mrs. Izon said: "Many of us havebeen through hell. My husband and Ilived in a cellar for five months. Thesuffering of the people is indescribable,but they are determined to carry on."

Owing to the upheaval in Europe,business houses in many parts of theworld are seeking supplies of variouscommodities, said the Minister of Sup-ply (Mr. Sullivan), in an interview to-day. Inquiries have come from SouthAfrica, America. Singapore, India, andPalestine, and all that is possible isbeing done to meet the demand.

LONDON, May 30From the United States today has

come swift appreciation of Mr. Eden'sspeech

A report from Washington says thatthe British Foreign Secretary couldhardly have chosen more suitableterms or a more suitable time in whichto express Britain's war aims.

"The Times" emphasises that afterthe war the relief and progress ofEurope will depend in large measureon the will and the resources of theEnglish-speaking world.

The "Daily Mail" says: "Our aimwill be to bring social security to allpeople and to interfere as little aspossible with the economic liberties ofother countries. These objects are indirect contrast with the Nazi policyof serfdom made absolute."

ARMS FOR BRITAIN

AMERICAN SUPPLIES GETTHROUGH

(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON,May 30

Reports presented to Congress de-clare that only 28 ships carrying warsupplies from United States ports havebeen sunk en route to Britain sincethe outbreak of the war. Statistics arenot available, but legislators said itwas safe to assume that the loss ratioof American goods is relatively small.It is pointed out, however, that thesinkings do not include the losses ofequipment produced in the UnitedStates and sent to Canada for tran-shipment.

Fear of sabotage on Memorial Dayresulted in military and civil guardsbeing summoned overnight to watchthe defence plants from coast to coast,says the Associated Press.

Anti-aircraft guns were placedaround Californian plane factories andpursuit planes were held ready. Mili-tary authorities state that these thingsare due to tactical manoeuvres.

STRONG MEASURES TAKEN

MOVE MADE IN AFRICALONDON, May 30,

According to the German-con-trolled Paris radio, the Vichy Gov-ernment's Under-Secretary ofState for the Colonies has ad-mitted that there is unrest in theFrench colonies. This was due, hesaid, to errors of judgment andpropaganda. The announcer add-ed that an end to this unrest wasbeing made by strong measureswhich were having the desiredeffect.The broadcast did not say who had

committed the errors, but went on tosay that there were signs of growingopposition by the French people tocloser collaboration with Germany. Sofar the only result of collaboration isthe release of French prisoners of warwho fought in 1914-18.

A Free. French broadcast fromEquatorial Africa states that a drivehas been started in unoccupied Franceto round up supporters of Generalde Gaulle. The broadcast said thatthere were many indications that rela-tions between the Germans, the menof Vichy, and the people of Francemight soon become critical.

LINER DOES NOT SAIL. ■It is reported from Shanghai that

The following note has been pre-sented to Britain by the YugoslavMinister in London:

"During the solemnities which tookplace in Rome on May 18 and 19 itwas proclaimed that the 'independentCroatian State' is transformed into ahereditary monarchy.

The latest returns, stated Mr. Nashtoday, showed that applications hadnow been received for the conversionof £13,800,000. The total cash askedfor to date was less than £70,000. "Theresult is very satisfactory," the Min-ister added.

COMPULSION URGED

THE HOME GUARD

R.S.A. RECOMMENDATION

Defence matters considered by theannual conference of the New ZealandReturned Soldiers' Association yester-day afternoon covered a wide range.A remit was carried urging compul-sory service in the Home Guard, andanother asked for more co-operationbetween the Armed Forces and theHome Guard.

Provisions for those serving in theForces asked for included a largergrant for outfitting nursing sisters,free transport on all Dominion trans-port services for soldiers on leave,and facilities for forwarding canteenorders to men overseas.

A remit pressing for a speeding upof the war effort and asking for ex-tended hours at ordinary hourly ratesfor essential work was opposed bydelegates on the ground that it wasoutside the functions of the associa-tion to tell the authorities what shouldbe done about wages. The remit wasadopted after the words "at ordinaryhourly rates" had been deleted.

It was recommended that the wholecost of organisation and maintenanceof the Home Guard should be borneby the Government.

The position of conscientious ob-jectors was discussed in committee,and a remit was carried asking thatrepresentations should be made to theGovernment to implement the regula-tions providing for alternative ser-vice for conscientious objectors, whoshould be required to do such workat soldiers' rates of pay.

Another remit asking for the can-cellation of civil rights to defaultersand deserters was also carried.

When a remit reaffirming the de-cision of the association to demandcompulsory universal national service-came before the conference, the presi-dent (the Hon. W. Perry, T 1.L.C.) saidthat such service was being slowlyimplemented. Personally he consid-ered it was not going fast enough.

Referring to the compulsory loan,Mr. Perry said that it had been madeclear that there were a great manypeople in New Zealand who were infavour of the conscription of man-power but objected to the conscrip-tion of wealth, which was just as im-portant to the war effort as men.

PRODUCTION OF OIL

NETHERLANDS INDiES

(P.A.) AUCKLAND, May 30,"All companies in the Netherlands

East Indies are doing their best to findall the oil available because of the waremergency," said Dr. H. E. Thalmann,geologist and chief paleontologist ofthe Netherlands Colonial PetroleumCompany, a subsidiary of an Americancompany, who passed through Auck-land in the Monterey on his way tovisit San Francisco.

Every effort was being made to in-crease production, as the war hadaffected supplies from the major fieldsof the Middle East and South America.A general decline would have beenexperienced but for the war and,though few new fields were beingopened, companies were exploiting oldstructures to,the fullest extent. Manynew refineries had been installed short-ly before the war and even aviationspirit was now being produced.

Dr. Thalmann, a Swiss national, is aFellow of the Royal MicroscopicalSociety, England, and a Fellow of theGeological Society of America. Hiswork is the testing of samples offormations being drilled to determinethe localities and possibilities of fields.

WAR WILL BE LONG

BERLINERS' OPINION

BUILDING OF SHELTERS

LONDON, May 30,The Berlin correspondent of the

Zurich "Neve Zurcher" says that Ber-liners have no illusions about futureR.A.F. attacks. Permanent masonryand steel shelters are replacing sand-bag shelters. Berlin's pavements arecluttered with debris shovelled fromcellars, where holes have been excav-ated in the walls to ensure the shel-terers' escape if they are trapped.

The correspondent states that Ber-liners have now made up their mindsthat it will be a long war. The Hessaffair has caused more far-reachingreactions than the German victories.

A shortage of beer in Germanysince Easter was attributed at first toa free supply to troops to celebrateHitler's birthday. It is now knownto be due to a shortage of bottles andrailway transport. The meat rationwas again cut' recently. The coldspring has also resulted in a shortageof vegetables. Only bread and pota-toes are plentiful.—U.P.A.

CAPTURED BY NAZISNORWEGIAN WHALERS

THE OLD ATHENIC INCLUDED

CREWS PRISONERS

(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 30Norwegian authorities confirm an

American report that Germans havecaptured two Norwegian whalingfactory-ships in the Antarctic. Thecrews were landed in German-occu-pied territory and placed in a prisoncamp in stern conditions for 14 weeks.

A third vessel has now been cap-tured. The three ships are named thePelagos, Ole Wegger, and Solglimt.—U.P.A.

WELL-KNOWN LINER

The Pelagos was formerly the ShawSavill liner Athenic and was sold in1928 to a Norwegian whaling companyto be converted into a whaler for usein the Antarctic. She received herpresent name at that time.

No ship was better known in theLondon-New Zealand trade twentyyears ago than the old Athenic, asister of the Corinthic and lonic. Thesewere the first 12,000-ton 500-feet shipsbuilt for the New Zealand trade, andtheir advent marked an epoch in theshipping history of the Dominion. Theywere of identical size and came fromthe yards of Harland and Woolff inBelfast. The Athenic was launched in1901, and arrived in'Wellington in the

following year. The sister-ships cametwo years later, and later again'camethe Gothic, the Arawa, and the Tai-nui. All these ships ran in a regularunbroken service until the end of1914.

Then the Athenic became H.M.N.Z.Transport No. 11. She sailed fromWellington with the Main Body forAlexandria and then returned to theNew Zealand trade, but she carriedtroops to England on five other occa-sions, and she repatriated many NewZealand soldiers. She escaped theperils of submarines and mines andher only war mishap was when shegrounded at Jamaica in 1918. Afterthe war she again took up her NewZealand running. Her last voyagefrom Wellington to London was madeearly in 1928. She brought manythousands of new settlers to the Do-minion during her long service of overa quarter of a century and carriedmany New Zealanders to the Home-land. Altogether she made 58 voyagesand steamed a million and a halfmiles between here and London. Aftertwenty-six years of continuous ser-vice she was still considered a thor-oughly sound boat in hull and en-gines.

The Ole Wegger is of 12,201 tons, andwas built in 1914. The Solglimt, of12,246 tons, was built by the Beohmand Voss yards, in Hamburg, whichthe R.A.F. has been bombing, in 1900.She was previously known as theStockholm and Potsdam.

TO BUILD SHIPSWALSH ISLAND YARD

STATE PREMIER'S PLEDGE(0.C.) SYDNEY, May 24.

Deserted and desolate for eightyears,- Walsh Island Dockyard andshipbuilding centre, near New-castle (N.S.W.), will soon be trans-formed again into a throbbing hiveof industry. The New South WalesLabour Premier, Mr. McKell, hasalready taken steps to place theshipyards in commission again,

The Minister for Works, Mr. Cahill,will visit the dockyard next Wednes-day and will make his report to theCabinet the following week. "Wemean to get on with the job at WalshIsland in accordance with our electionpromise that shipbuilding will be re-sumed," said Mr. McKell.

Industrialists at Newcastle claim thatthe laying of keels could be begunthree months after work was startedon the island. If that is so, and Mr.McKell can prove their words, thenan astounding position arises. Wehave been told daily of Britain's urgentneed for more ships, and Australianexports of urgently required foodstuffshave been drastically curtailed forwant of shipping space. Yet for the21 months of the war no attempt hasbeen made either by the Federalauthorities or the previous State Gov-ernment to refit the dockyard.

In the last war between 2000 and3000 men were employed. WalshIsland then had a self-contained plant,but most of the material had to beobtained from Great Britain. Now,however, plates are being rolled bythe Broken Hill Pty., and steam andwater-piping, small gauge steel platesand forgings are being turned out byAustralian firms.

There are two problems for the Gov-ernment, replacement of machineryand the engagement of the necessarytechnical staff. It is understood thatthe machinery can now be made inAustralia, and the fact that a com-pany had considered purchasing theisland indicates that the necessarylabour was obtainable.

MURDERED BY NAZIS

AUSTRALIAN WOUNDED

(Rec. 2.40 p.m.) CAIRO, May 30.Members of the Adolf Hitler Guard

cold-bloodedly murdered Australianwounded on the battlefields of Greece,returning Australians declare.

Officers of the A.I.F. recounted anumber of instances of deliberate but-chery of wounded Australians leftlying on the field of battle. A youngAustralian captain told how his bat-tery, after very hard fighting, wassurrounded and nearly wiped out. Hedecided to feign death and to try toget out at night-time and lay downamong the dead.

Fanatical Nazi youths of the HitlerGuard moved across the battlefieldskicking the bodies of Australian sol-diers. If a man made a movement hewas immediately shot through thehead.—U.P.A.

"PEIRSON DAY"

Jersey, in the Channel Islands, willprobably be compelled by Nazi occu-pation to neglect an anniversary whichin normal times would have called forspecial celebration, says the "Mail'Chester Guardian." For this is "Peir-son Day," commemorating the deliver-ance of the island from French in-vaders just 150 years ago. Intendingto seize Jersey as a jumping-off groundfor the invasion of England (how his-tory does repeat itself!), Louis XVIdispatched a force which contrived toland at. dead of night, march on St.Helier, and capture the Governor-General in his bed. Fortunately thealarm was given in time for MajorFrancis Peirson to rally some of thetroops in the island, and after a stiffbattle the invaders (were put to rout.Peirson, only 24 years of age, waskilled in the moment of victory. Hisbody lies in a tomb of honour in theparish church of St. Helier, where inthe past a special thanksgiving ser-vice has always been held every year,

NOTES ON THE WARNEWS

CRETE AND IRAKMIDDLE EAST BATTLE

CONTRASTING PHASES

While the grim struggle in Creterages unabated, with both sidesfighting themselves almost to astandstill, the enemy in theascendant, in another phase of thegreat Battle of the Middle East—which is really one battle, thoughfought many hundred miles apart—the British Imperial Forces haveovercome a danger which threaten-ed at one time to be grave. RashidAli's rebellion in Irak has col-lapsed and our troops are at thegates of Bagdad. In the remain-ing phases, Libya and Abyssinia,there is little change to note.

Answer to Critics.The leading part played by the men

of New Zealand and Australia in bothGreece and Crete and the losses sus-tained in consequence have led tocriticism of the general managementof these campaigns—if they could beso called—by the High Command. Why,for instance, it is asked, were ourforces in both theatres, Greek andCrete, not given the air protectionwhich might, and probably would,have made all the difference? Theanswer is simple: there were notenough machines to spare in the MiddleEast and there were no suitable aero-dromes in Greece and Crete for useof fighter aircraft necessary for pro-tection against the dive-bomber. TheMediterranean could not be used forthe transport of the planes required,which, in consequence, had to makethe long voyage round Africa via theCape and up the Red Sea, or, perhaps,be flown across Africa from the GoldCoast in the west to Egypt in the east.For the same reason it has been diffi-cult, with the limited amount of ship-ping available, to transport troops andmunitions to the Middle East fromBritain. The troops used in Greeceand Crete had to be taken from thoseon the spot in Egypt, and they were'largely New Zealand and Australian.Cause of the Trouble.

Most of these difficulties for theBritish Empire result from the collapseof France just a; year ago and thepolicy of surrender to Germany im-posed by the "Men of Vichy"—self-constituted leaders—on the people ofFrance. Had the French elected to fol-low the nobler and more honourablecourse chosen by other defeated peoples—the Norwegians, the Poles, the Dutch,the Belgians, and latterly, the Yugo-slavs and the Greeks—and maintained aGovernment outside metropolitanFrance, joining all their land, sea, andair forces that could withdraw, thewhole course of the war would havebeen different. France in all theatrescould have rendered the cause of de-mocracy assistance that would haveturned the scale. With the British andFrench fleets working together, usingFrance's North African naval and airbases, the Mediterranean would havebeen at least as safe for the transportof troops and supplies as it was in thelast war. The defence of the MiddleEast, with the help of French Syria,would not have been a task of supremedifficulty, as it is now. The use of theport of Jibuti, in French Somaliland,and the railway from it to Addi3Ababa, would have shortened the con-quest of Abyssinia by months. FrenchIndo-China need never have become astepping-stone for Japan towards Singa-pore.

Superhuman Task.As a result of the defection of France

an almost superhuman task fell on.the solitary shoulders of the BritishEmpire until American aid could beeffective. It is not yet fully effectivetoday, and until it does become fullyeffective, times will be anxious andcritical. But in looking back over theups and downs of the last twelvemonths any fair-minded critic cancome to only one conclusion, and thatis that the Empire has done marvel-lously well to win through so far and,despite mistakes, defeats, and setbacks,to have accomplished miracles and lostnothing vital. Compared with the lastwar, with its long list of blunders byboth sides and its useless slaughter andamateurish strategy, this war betweenBritain and Germany has been abattle of giants with tactics andstrategy and fighting capacity of thehighest order. The Germans have ex-ploited their strategic advantage of a

central position in Europe to theutmost, and so far they seem to havemade few strategic mistakes. Theyhave concentrated on doing one job ata time thoroughly and efficiently, some-times winning cheap victories, as in.

the first year of the war, and some-times paying dearly as in Greece andnow in Crete. Each territory con-quered by force or occupied by "peace-ful penetration" has proved a stepping-stone or a taking-off point for the nextmove. The German military planswill be found to have been and to behighly co-ordinated.Advantage of Initiative.

The advantage of the initiative isgreater in modern warfare than everbefore. Had it not been for the diplo-matic initiative taken in Irak andSyria by the Germans to promoteRashid Ali's rebellion, the forces theBritish Empire was compelled to usein Irak might have been disposed toadvantage elsewhere, as in Crete orLibya. The Balkan initiative of theGermans paved the way to their re-conquest of Cyrenaica and the renewalof the threat against the Nile Valleyand the Suez Canal. The Nazi planswere set out credibly in a Swiss news-paper, and summarised in the newslast Tuesday. Crete is the first step-ping-stone, then Cyprus, then Syria,Irak, and Palestine and before the endof July there is to be a "final decisiveattack on Egypt, to be launched" fromfour directions." But not even German"thoroughness" can accomplish every-thing. Crete, said to have been mark-ed down in the time-table for conquestin two days, is still unconquered•inten, and the possibilities of guerrillawarfare there, even if the main organ-ised defence should succumb to over-whelming forces, are very great, andthe island could be made an openwound to the enemy. It has not yetcome to that, and our position, criticalas it seems, may be retrieved. Cypruswould be a much harder nut to crack,as it is beyond the reach of theenemy's dive-bombers and accessibleto our own aircraft from Palestine and,perhaps, from Syria, if things developthat way. Irak appears now to be safeand in Africa the Abyssinian campaignis all but over, with only the Italianremnants now resisting, while theItalo-Germans are not likely to tacklethe desert crossing for an attack onEgypt in the fierce heat of summer.For these reasons there is no need todespair of the situation in the MiddleEast as it appears today.

THE EVENING POST. SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1941.10

RONGOTAI COLLEGEPLAYING GROUNDS

TAKING OF STADIUM

THE SITE QUESTIONNotice of intention to take, under

the Public Works Act, "additionalland in the City of Wellington fora secondary school," is given in thisWeek's Gazette. The land referredto is the Kilbirnie Stadium, andthe proposal is to acquire it forplaying ar«sa purposes for RongotaiCollege, /he approximate area isstated to be nearly seven acres.Kilbirnie Stadium, at one time Asso-

ciation Park and as such the head-quarters of the Wellington FootballAssociation, adjoins the present site ofRongotai College, the grounds of whichat the rear of the school building werereduced in size to make provision forpart of the Centennial Exhibition.After the closing of the Exhibition, thelandthat had been taken did not revertto the college, because of the use towhich the Exhibition buildings andgrounds have since been put as a tram-ing centre for the Royal New ZealandAir Force.

Because of the proximity of the col-lege to Rongotai Aerodrome and futureexpansion of the aerodrome, the ques-tion of a new site for the college is

one which has been under discussionfor a long time. Last year it becamea highly controversial subject, andduring the controversy it was suggest-ed by some that the school should betransferred from the Miramar districtto Karori. To this the principal (Mr.

F Martyn Renner) retorted that hehad no objection to Karori as a finalresting place for all who lived on theeastern side of Mount Victoria, but hehad every objection to Rongotai Col-lege being deposited there.

SITE ON GOLF LINKS.A proposal to use part of the Mira-

mar Golf Club's links caused even|livelier interest, a meeting of protestbeing held by the club. Several hun-dred members attended and passed aresolution instructing the committeeto take all possible action against theacquisition of the land by the Educa-tion Department. It was suggested byone speaker at this meeting that as an

alternative the Kilbirnie Stadiummight be used to provide the playingareas required by the college.

Earlier this year, at the annualmeeting of the Rongotai College Par-ents' Association, mention was made,

that negotiations were proceeding for Ithe purchase by the Government of anearby site to replace the groundstaken from the college when the Ex-hibition was buHt. The hope was ex-pressed that the matter would be com-pleted in time for the ground to becleared to enable autumn sowing otseed That hope was not fulfilled,the matter, according to the Gazette,not having yet got beyond notice otintention to take the land.

The proposal to take over thestadium does not dispose finally of thequestion of the future of the college,although it probably does for at leastthe duration of the war. The erectionof the college some day on the Mira-mar golf links remains a possibility.People closely associated with Rongo-tai College believe it to be more thana possibility. Although there hasbeen no definite official pronounce-ment on the subject, as they under-stand the position they believe ulti-mately that the college will be builton the golf links, the transfer of thecollege being wrapped up in the aero-drome extension proposals.

The scheme aimsto train 15,000 members of thechurch in this work in Australia,New Zealand, New Guinea, and theSouth Sea Islands.Twelve commercial delivery vans of

the Sanitarium Health Food Company,conducted by the sect, have beenfitted as ambulances. They can beconverted in the space of a fewmoments. The driver of each vanholds at least two St. John First Aidcertificates, and is fully trained inA.R.P. work. In the event of emer-gency he has a trained assistant anda woman attendant. There is a com-plete first aid kit in every van. Eachvan has six stretchers and one specialvan carries twelve.

The organisation has 25 missionschooners, which will be placed atGovernment disposal for evacuationand other purposes. Many hundredsof natives living in Australian man-dated territories have been drawn .intoA.R.P. and National Emergency Ser-vices under the church scheme.

Pastor Hare, secretary of the SeventhDay Adventist National Emergencyand Welfare Scheme, travelled over12,000 miles last year, organising thiswork in the Islands, New Guinea, andNew Zealand.

HOME NURSING SERVICE.Many hundreds of women have been

drawn into a scheme of home nursingwhich will supplement district nursingand other similar organisations. Theyare equipped with a full home nursingoutfit. Their services are free.

Pastor Hare took 12 first-aid classesin Sydney last year. This year hehas organised six more.

After London's experience with fireand incendiary bombs, the ambulanceswere re-equipped with steel fittings.Major-General McGuire, Director-Gen-eral of Medical Services, describedthem as the best he has seen.

If war reaches Australian shores, theSeventh Day Adventist war servicewill operate as a complete unit underthe control of the National EmergencyService.

All finance has come from churchfunds. The cost has already run intomany thousands of pounds.

THE GENEROUS THINGKEEPING ITS PROMISE

GOVERNMENT AND THESHEEP FARMERS

(P.A.) DUNEDIN, This Day,"You have had some cunning poli-

ticians interpreting the Government'spromises for you but I can say thatwe have done the generous thing bythe farming community, and if we hadnot come behind you as we did whenrestrictions were placed on the killingof sheep there would have been chaosin the industry," said the Minister ofMarketing (Mr. Barclay) referring tocriticism of the Government's actionsduring the meat crisis.

Mr. Barclay wasmeeting sheep ownersof Otago in conference. He said thatthe Government had made definitepromises but it was not going to havethose promises ridden to death.

"It is our policy to get behind anyindustry that might be struck downin the same way that the meat indus-try has been," he said, "and it will costthe Government about £5,000,000 todo it—£4,ooo,ooo to hold nearly 100,000tons of meat, mostly lambs, in thefreezer and about" £750,000 to can35,000 tons of ewe mutton. That ishow we are keeping our promises tothe sheep farmers."

A FINE RECORDTASMAN AIRWAYSFIRST YEAR OF SERVICE

(0.C.) SYDNEY, May 24In its first year of operation, Tasman

Empire Airways, Ltd., had an imposingrecord. The figures speak for them-selves, but it was heartening to thecompany to receive unstinted praisefrom an experienced American airtraveller.

Mr. N. P. Pery, supervisor forColumbia Pictures in Australasia andthe Far East, was moved to declareon arriving in Sydney by flying-boatthis week that the Tasman service wasthe finest airline service in the world.

"I have flown nearly 100,000 milesin the course of my business career,"said Mr. Pery. "I have crossed theAtlantic and Pacific by air, and I havetravelled on every airline service inEurope and America, and I have nohesitation in saying that I have nevertravelled in a better or more comfort-able plane. It was a surprise and arevelation, and a most promising in-troduction to your country."

The company's report disclosed that1461 passengers were flown across theTasman Sea by the company's twoflying-boats, Aotearoa and Awarua,during the year ended March 31.This was an average of 11 passengerson each journey.

Of 134 trips scheduled 130 were com-pleted, or 97 per' cent, an exceptionallyhigh proportion for ocean crossings.Generally 90 per cent, would be con-sidered excellent for such crossings ina period of 12 months.

The hours flown totalled 1180, fflnaverage of 9.08 for each journey. Thefastest flight was 6 hours 7 minutes, onMarch 23.

During the year 14,4481b of freight,39,9561b of baggage, and 77,5711b ofmail were carried. The averagequantity of mail carried on eachjourney was nearly 5971b.

VEREENIGING DAYLOCAL CELEBRATION

SOUTH AFRICAN VETERANS

There was a good attendance ofSouth African War Veterans at theirclub rooms in Lambton Quay todaywhen a service was held to celebratethe signing of the Vereeniging Treaty.Colonel F. B. Mabin presided, and theservice was conducted by ChaplainColonel D. C. Bates, V.D. The guestsincluded the Minister of Defence (Mr.Jones) and Mrs. Jones, Sir Harry Bat-terbee, the Bishop of Wellington (theRt. Rev. H. St. Barbe Holland), Briga- jdier F. T. Bowerbank, and Lieutenant-Colonel A. Cowles, V.D., president ofthe Wellington R.SA. The Dominionpresident of the South African WarVeterans' Association, Mr. A. G.Bertram (Auckland) was present.There were a number of ladies at theservice and Mrs. J. I. Goldsmith actedas hostess.

In welcoming the visitors ColonelMabin referred to the exploits of theSecond New Zealand Division andsaid that the veterans could take offtheir hats to the soldiers of today.

Fallen comrades were honouredwith the sounding of the "Last Post,"followed by "Reveille."

Colonel Bates, who was wearing thejsame vestments that he wore atVereeniging on the Sunday followingthe signing of the peace treaty, re-called the Boer generals who werepresent, and said he had not imaginedthen that Field-Marshal Lord Robertsjand Lord Kitchener would be succeed-ed by the Boer general who was nowField-Marshal Smuts. But for thatgenerous peace and the mutual under-standing that had followed it, Britainwould not have had South Africa onher side today. Britain had won notonly the South African War, but alsothe men who fought against her in it.Some had thought that the war was awaste because the Vereeniging peacewas a mere compromise, but it wasjustified by the tremendous help wewere receiving from the Union ofSouth Africa at the present time.

Colonel Bates referred to the entire-ly different results that had followedthe Treaty of Versailles, but said thatin spite of the way the youth of Ger-many had been brought up in a cultureof cruelty and dishonesty it was stillpossible with the help of God to bringabout a better understanding andgreater union among the nations. TheSouth African veterans had met tocommemorate a peace which hadbrought a glorious union, and theylooked forward to a still greater unionin the future.

"GIFT HOUSE"

SUCCESSFUL RAFFLE

A YIELD OF £10,500

The "Gift House," which was builtin Raroa Road, Lower Hutt, as avoluntary contribution to the wareffort, and which has been rallied forpatriotic purposes, was handed over to-day to the Wellington ProvincialPatriotic Council. A short ceremonywas held outside the house, precedingwhich Mr. J. W. Andrews, Mayor ofLower Hutt, announced the winners ofthe raffle as follows:—

First prize (house), No. 212182,"Mac," 5 Lucknow Terrace, Khandal-lah.

Second prize (section at Paekaka-riki), No. 17656, "Optimist," c/o W.8.,Wellington.

Third prize (groceries), No. 668107,Raymond Cato, Lower Hutt.

On behalf of the builders, sub-contractors, and workers, Mr. P. Fifieldexpressed his pleasure at such a won-derful opportunity arising of show-ing in a tangible form the co-opera-tion between the builders in the citiesof Wellington and Lower Hutt. Therewere roughly 220 voluntary contribu-tors, covering every phase of construc-tion and fitting. As for the workers itwas a good job well done.

Mr. W. E. Jones, chairman of thecontrolling organisation in the con-struction of the house, spoke on be-half of the Hutt Valley builders andkindred associations, and read a longlist of those who participated in thegift.

He then presented the keys of thehouse to Mr. T. C. A. Hislop, Mayorof Wellington, who attended in hiscapacity as president of the Welling-ton Provincial Patriotic Council. Thedocuments relating to the house werethen presented by Mr. N. T. Gillespie,Lower Hutt City Solicitor.

In a short speech, Mr. Hislop thank-ed all concerned. The raffle, he said,was the second most successful ofany yet held in New Zealand forpatriotic purposes. It had yieldedabout £10,500, subject to audit, andhe had heard that it created somethingof a record in that all the ticketswere accounted for before the drawing.The Christchurch raffle, conductedalong similar lines, was the only oneto better it.

The house was then inspected bythose present.

SOUTHERN MAILS

APPEAL FOR EARLY POSTING

The difficulties of the WellingtonPost Office in handling end-of-the-daypostings will be increased consider-ably by the earlier departure,, as fromnext 'Monday, of the Wellington-Lyttelton steamer on three days ofthe week. The Director-General ofthe Post Office (Mr. J. G. Young)stated that although the Maori is toleave Wellington on Mondays, Wed-nesdays, and Fridays at 7.15 p.m., in-stead of 7.45 p.m. as formerly, nochange will be made, at least for thepresent, in the closing hour of themain South Island mails on those days;but, in order that the present closingtime may be maintained, the PostOffice appeals to the public, particularlybusiness .firms, to assist by makingtheir bulk postings earlier than theyare now doing. A glimpse of theposting-box lobby at the Chief PostOffice just before 5 p.m. on a week-day will convince anyone that this isstill the time when most of the busi-ness correspondence is posted. Theinroads made upon its trained person-nel by the war have created seriousproblems for the Department, and un-less the public generally, and businessfirms in particular, assist by spreadingtheir postings throughout the day, itwill become necessary later to ad-vance the closing hour for all mails.

WASTE RECLAIMED

DISPLAY OF RESULTS

Preparations are in hand at theMiramar Film Studios, under thedirection of Mr. G. Bridgman. for thedisplay, largely on impressionistic lines,of some of the results achieved bythe anti-waste campaign, and to sug-gest the very much greater resultswhich can be obtained, given the in-terest and co-operation of every indi-vidual. The anti-waste exhibition,which is being organised by the Wel-lington Junior Chamber of Commerce,will be held in Wellington from June11 to 21, after which it will be re-peated in other centres.

The central features of the displaywill be two giant robots, and the studiowork involves poster designing and agreat deal of striking photographicwork illustrating collection, process-ing, and the vast range of products re-claimed from the scrap metals andwaste paper to which the New Zealandcampaign has so far been directed.The exhibition will display Army andAir Force equipment—machine-guns,shells, and engines—to the making ofwhich waste reclamation can, and inoverseas countries does, contributegreatly. Posters and examples will tellpeople what should be saved andwhat is not of value at the presenttime. That there is money and valu-able material in so-called waste willbe shown beyond argument by a fac-simile of the cheque handed to theNational Patriotic Fund Board lastweek by the Council for the Reclama-tion of Waste: that cheque, represent-ing the results of nine months' collec-tion, was for £5041 11s.

One of the larger chain store firmsin Wellington is giving a bicycle tothe boy or girl who collects mostempty tooth-paste tubes over a givenperiod. It is estimated that nearly8.000,000 empty tubes, which are madeof almost pure tin, one of the cost-liest of common industrial metals, arethrown away in New Zealand eachyear.

The Mid-Canterbury conference ofthe Farmers' Union carried unani-mously without discussion a remitthat the union make representationswith a view to the formation of aNational Government, states a PressAssociation telegram,

ROYAL ACADEMYWAR THE MAIN THEME

MANY ASPECTS DEPICTED(0.C.) LONDON, May 8.

War has not stopped the 173rd ex-hibition of the Royal Academy of Arts,The statue of Sir Joshua Reynolds hasbeen removed from the courtyard out-side the building for safe keeping, the827 paintings and drawings hung areless by 562 than the total exhibitedlast year, ,and only 12 of the usual 16galleries are in use.

There are vivid glimpses of war on.land, in the air, and at sea. Thereare impressions of the beaches at Dun-kirk, the last stand at Calais, of aerialdog fights, and of convoys attacked atsea. War on the civilians in its manyaspects has also been recorded.

The number of New Zealanders ex-hibiting is fewer this year than usual,but Mr. F. H. Coventry (Christchurch)and Mr. E. Heber Thompson (Dunedin)both have their work hung again. Mr.Coventry's water colour, entitled"Pimlico Houses," is a faithful repro-duction of some of London's drab, un-imaginative boxes of bricks, maroonand dirty cream in colour, and support-ing a long ladder. Above, white cloudsare backed by a rare blue sky; a manwith a club foot hobbles along thepavement. Mr. Thompson's oil is en-titled "Retour dcs Matelots, Con-carneau," a scene from an open win-dow. There are fishermen in navyblue leaving their brown-sailed fishingboat, barrels, and fish nets throwingshadows on the sunlit beach, and, be-yond, more fishing boats, with woodedhills in the distance. The colouring isfresh and attractive.

Added interest for New Zealandersis the portrait of the Governor-Gen-eral, Sir Cyril Newall, by R. G. Eves,R.A. It is a head and shoulders, andan excellent likeness.

Arresting works are "Dunkirk Beach,May, 1940," by Richard Eurich, and"The Last Stand at Calais. Citadel,May, 1940," by Charles Gere. The firstcondenses the scene of the Britishwithdrawal, with men marching, em-barking, lying, walking, standing, aridbeing killed on the beach against abackground of smoke and flame. Thescene at Calais is dedicated to "thosewho by their sacrifices saved theB.E.F. at Dunkirk." From a breachin the citadel, overlooking a canal, Bri-tish soldiers blaze their Bren guns.Flame-belching tanks and death-divingaeroplanes are included in the scene.One criticism of the picture describedit as a "piece of over-heated journal-ism."

As a relief from the war pictures,orthodox landscapes, seascapes, andportraits are exhibited. The Queen isthe only Royal Lady hung. Apprecia-tion of the three studies of her is amatter of individual taste. '

JUSTICE AND THE WAR

In his address at the annual confer-ence of the Federation of New ZealandJustices' Associations the retiring presi-dent, Mr. J. M. Jenkins (Timaru), saidthe inscription on the emblem of office,"Fiat Justitia Ruat Coelum" (Let jus-tice be done though the heavens fall)could be taken as indicative of thesincerity of purpose and the determina-tion with which the nation was■ en-dowed in the prosecution of the war*Dark days lay ahead, he said, and nogood could be gained by blindingthemselves" to that fact—might that in-scription remind them of what theywere prepared to endure in order thatjustice in the truest and noblest sens'of the word might be done. ■

Wheat growers in the southern halfof the North Island are asked, in astatement issued by the Departmentof Agriculture, to increase the averageof between 5000 and 6000 acres grownin recent years, up to from 10,000 to12,000 acres or more. A decided stepin this direction was taken last season,but a further big increase is necessaryto reach this objective. "Plenty -ofseed wheat is available and manure forwheat growing will be supplied,"'saysthe statement. "Plans should be madenow by each farmer, who can help toselect suitable paddocks for wheatgrowing. Early ploughing, particularlyof lea land, and thorough cultivation areadvised. There will certainly be someneed for organising labour assistancein harvesting the crop in some districts,and this is a. job that can well betackled by production councils andcommittees."

GIRL FIRE-WATCHERS

TWO WELLINGTONIANS INLONDON

"FOOD OUR BIG WORRY"

How two former Wellington girlsnow living in London are playing theirpart in the battle for England is vivid-ly described by one of them in a let-ter to a friend in Wellington.

After references to a gift of NewZealand butter, which she describes asmaking her "unbelievably rich," theNew Zealand girl gives a detailed ac-count of the food situation in London."Life," she writes, "goes on here inthe same hectic style since the war.Food has become one of our big wor-ries. Of course, we get enough, butit's an awful job planning meals." Inaddition to essentials, a tiny piece ofcheese is procurable each week, butbiscuits, fish, fruit, chocolate, and toma-toes fat 4s 6d a pound) are in theluxury class, and cream is forbidden."It was a sad and terrible fire," saidthe writer when describing the recentbig incendiary raid, on London. "Nowthe Government has ordered all ownersof businesses to keep wa^ch at night,so Mac and 'I do fire duty round thishuge block.

PATROLLING OUTSIDE."We wear dark blue suits like engi-

neers, tin hats, and carry tin whistlesto summon help. Our duties are topatrol the building outside during airraids, and extinguish the bombs asthey fall. As incendiaries are alwaysfollowed by high explosives and (asyou wil] remember) this building isbetween two large railway stationswhich are military objectives, we arelooking forward to a lively time. Flatshave to be watched as well as businesshouses. When we are at home at nightand the wardens blow their whistles iwe all have to help put out the firebombs.

"There is a certain type of personwho doesn't care a 'damn' and willnot help in the war. They have mostlycleared out of London to a safer, morepleasant area, and left everything tobe done by those who are left. Still,I suppose we'll get there without theirhelp.

BUILDING STRUCK."By the way, we had a daylight raid

the other day," the letter continues,"and this building was struck—luckilythe bomb struck the edge of the roofand pieces of masonry fell into thestreet. The raider dropped six, oneafter the other. Talk about livelytime! What with the crash of bombsand the roar of anti-aircrdft guns, itwasn't too good. I crouched downnear the counter and hoped for thebest. When it was over I had a 'spot.'"

IN THE SHELTERS."You mention," writes the New Zea-

lander, "our spending our nights inshelters. Well, we don't. Only thevery poor do mostly. One simplycouldn't do it, especially on the tubeplatforms—people actually eat andsleep there while the trains tear on.Can you imagine it, as you rememberthe platforms?

"Look after yourself," the letterends, "and save your money, and wewill meet in Piccadilly to celebrate ourmuch-longed-for peace. Mac and Iare very well (so far). It's amusing,isn't it, to think of us keeping fire-watch in London?"

MUCH ACHIEVED

WOMEN'S WAR COMMITTEE

EFFORTS TO AVOID WASTEOF MATERIALS

A meeting of the Wellington St. JohnWomen's War Committee of the JointCouncil of the Order of St. John andNew Zealand Red Cross Society washeld on Wednesday afternoon.

Letters were received from theEmergency Precautions Scheme Head-quarters in appreciation of the hun-dreds of bandages made for the useof this organisation, both for trainingpurposes and in case of emergency.These bandages are made of linenmaterial which has already given ser-vice in local industry, and the cuttingand the special method of launderingmakes a great deal of hard work butthe result is excellent.

Lady Elliott stressed the importanceof using suitable material for the mak-ing of hospital necessities; materialwhich has already been used for someother purposes and is strong and clean.The Stores Purchase and Control Com-mittee of the Joint Council, which isdoing such very valuable work, stressthe necessity for the careful use of newmaterials as, owing to the shippingsituation, the importation of goods isgreatly hampered.

If you are making jam, or preserves,or cooking stews in a saucepan here isa tip to save much time. Simply slit

a fairly large cork and slip it .overthe handle of the spoon about half-way down. The spoon will then floatand you can give a quick stir frequent-ly without having to remove it fromthe saucepan.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

"ARE YOU A GOOD PARENT?"

"To be the complete personal slaveof her child and thus overwhelm himv/ith mother-love is mother-love gonewrong,'' said Mrs. Beeby in an infor-mal talk on "Are You a Good Parent?"to members at the Kelburn branch-meeting of the League of Mothers re-cently. "Good, solid, matter-of-fact,unselfish attention which the childknows is always there is the wisestkind of mother-love," continued thespeaker. "Serenity and consistent dis-cipline are important factors in estab-lishing a good background to life. Theparent herself must be consistentlytruthful and never evade a child's ques-tions, however awkward they be. other-wise the child will lose confidence inits parent and will seek enlightenmentelsewhere. Although a small childneeds to feel safe and tucked in byhis family, he also needs to be taughtindependence, trained to develop and"grow up."

Mrs. Chas. McPhee presided, and aguest, Mrs. Fisher, secretary for warwork, expressed gratitude for the knit-ted garments that had been handed infor the Air Force by the league. Itemswere given by the choir.

CURRENT ENTERTAINMENTS

c MAJESTIC THEATRE.The highest compliment that can be

paid "Gone With the Wind," which iscontinuing its season at the Majesticc Theatre, is that it is a faithful version

-' of a brilliant novel. Any film of morelt than 21,000 feet that can hold atten-d tion for every minute of its course isa more than exceptional—it is remark-e able. Judged from any angle, "Goned With the Wind" has made for itself ay place above all other films: the colour-y ing is. perfect,'the acting superb, and. the direction outstanding. With thes cast no fault can be found. Each

player seems just as Margaret Mitchellintended. Vivien Leigh is the ideal

„ Scarlett O'Hara, Clark Gable mightp have been the original Rhett Butler,11 Olivia de Havilland is the complete? Melanie, and Leslie Howard is just

'' Ashley Wilkes. The wrecking of then peace and beauty of the southern States- by the Civil War. the famine that fol-i- lows, and the crumbling of the aristo-j

cracy have been moulded into a power-a ful film drama." REGENT THEATRE.c An unusual story which incorporates, many of the outstanding episodes in" the first year of the present war. in-

cluding the invasion of Poland and the- torpedoing of the liner Athenia. is un-l folded in Paramount'? romantic mm-i edy "Arise. My Love." which is show-e ing at the Regent Theatre. The prin-t cipal players are Ray Milland and

Claudette "Colbert, who are teamed forthe first time since their appearance in

' "The Gilded Lily "\ PARAMOUNT THEATRE.1 America, land of lynching and other. tragic evidences of mass hysteria, hasI produced some strange cults. It is

" around one,of these Ku Klux Klan-like: organisations, the "Black Legion," thats the film of that name, now showing at1 the Paramount Theatre, is woven. Itf is an organisation with purportedly)patriotic ideals, but when embitteredI members use it for private purposes it

becomes simply a terrorist organisationi engaged in house-burning, floggings,jand tortures simply to vent the per-T sonal spite of its members. Humphrey

Bogart is shown as a young mechanic■ who joins the order and finally kills■ his best friend. Ann Sheridan, Dick

' Foran. and Erin O'Brien-Moore are also■ cast. The second feature is "I Can't■ Give You Anything But Love. Baby."■ a humourous musical farce starring

' Broderick Crawford. Johnny Downs,E and Peggy Moran.

DE LUXE THEATRE.Merry tunes keep apace with the

new 1941 fashions and dance ensemblesof the timely Republic picture, "HitParade of 1941," which Kenny Baker,singing star of "The Mikado." andFrances Langford, famous contralto,steal the spotlight in five captivatingsongs. The film heads the new pro-gramme at the De Luxe. "RanchoGrande," the associate film, inspired byand featuring the song hit of the samename, is an engaging tale about a ranchforeman who saves a family's holdingsfrom foreclosure and is told in aspritely manner with lilting songs andgay dialogue. Gene Autry plays theyoung foreman of the Rancho Grande,who is the guardian of the madcapDodge heirs.

ST. JAMES THEATRE.Deanna Durbin, who has already

eight consecutive successes to hercredit, scores another triumph in "NiceGirl?" which is showing at the St.James Theatre. A theme which blendsromance and humour is interspersedwith six songs by Deanna, two of themost popular being "Thank You,America" and "There'll Always Be AnEngland." The story is written roundjust how a nice girl would act in orderto enlighten the town gossips to thefact that she is not quite as nice aseverybody thinks she is. The compli-cations that ensue whep she arriveshome at dawn after a night out formthe nucleus of this, entertaining story. 'The romantic element is supplied by cFranchot Tone and Robert Stack, who 1both vie for the hand of Deanna. andthus provide many amusing sequences IRobert Benchley and Helen Broderickalso lend valuable assistance. The sup- Iporting programme is headed by thelatest March of Time series, "Austra- Ilia at War." and a scene from the re- I

I cent wedding of Deanna Durbin andVaughan Paul.

PRINCESS THEATRE. *"Green Light," starring Errol Flynnand Anita Louise, and "It's Love I'm jAfter," with Leslie Howard and Bette jDavis, head the programme at thePrincess Theatre. 2

TIVOLI THEATRE. I"Dad Rudd, M.P.," which is showing

at the Tivoli Theatre, is a modernised Istory of the adventures of the popular "Rudd family. Whilst comedy is the tpredominant note of the film, it is alsorich in real Australian sentiment, withdelightful romance and drama intro-duced as part of the political anglewhich revolves around a great nationalnecessity, water conservation. The as-sociate film is "Street of Memories." tstarring Lynne Roberts, Guy Kibbee, sand John McGuire. a

CITY AND SUBURBAN THEATRES

f KING'S THEATRE.c If ever there was a case in whichs the description stupendous was justi-c fled, it is in its application to "Thei Thief of Bagdad," the Alexander Kordac production now in its second week at. the King's Theatre. It is amazing ins its conception and amazing in its. execution, and the whole picture isc planned on a scale oi magnificence pro-a bably never before attempted. Done. m techmcolour, it brings to vivid and." spectacular life an Arabian Nights

fantasy straight out of the story book,c with its winged steed, magic carpet,1 and the genie in the bottle. The set-

' tings throughout are lavishly done, and■1 the story moves swiftly against a con-t stantly changing background. Sabu■, gathers fresh laurels a. the cheeky and? courageous Arabian gamin, and Cori-t rad Veidt makes a first-class villainous? vizier. Rex Ingram, as the genie ofs the bottle, has done nothing better—1 and certainly not bigger. June Duprez

makes a charming princess.

STATE THEATRE.A highly-imaginative conception of

the possibilities for injustice in trials by jury upon circumstantial evidence

' is presented at the State Theatre in> "'Stranger on the Third Floor." The] stranger is Peter Lorre, and John Mc-

Guire heads the supporting cast. "Wild-. cat Bus" the associate film, is a tale. of crooks who try to wreck the repiita-j tion of a popular line of buses by ar-r ranging smash-ups with regularity.i

TUDOR THEATRE.Hal Roach's latest comedy produc-. tion, "Road Show," which has been• transferred to the Tudor Theatre, has

; a cast which includes Adolphe Menjou,- Carole Landis, John Hubbard, Patsy,Kelly, George E. Stone, Charles But-[ terworth, Polly Ann Young. Margareti. Roach, and James Arthur. The asso-■ ciate feature is "Millionaires in Per-\ son," a new kind of screen drama fea-t turing Lee Tracy. *' PLAZA THEATRE.

Perhaps no other film actress has

' had a greater opportunity during thepast few years of displaying her

' talents in more widely varying roles; than has Ginger Rogers. She has: proved herself to have a versatility1little short of amazing. Successes; range from the dancing and singinggalaxies in which the Astaire-Rogers: combination starred to the lightcomedy masterpiece of "BachelorMother." In "Kitty Foyle," which isnow showing at the Plaza Theatre,Ginger Rogers scores her greatesttriumph, however. With it goes themuch-sought-after Academy award.This is a performance more remark-able because of the fact that it is inan almost entirely new field for theactress. There is little singing ordancing in "Kitty Foyle"—nothing butsome really brilliant acting by a girlwho almost became a mere screendance-partner. Dennis Morgan, JamesCraig, and Gladys Cooper help to makethe film the striking success that it is.

BRITISH FASHIONS HELP

VITAL EXPORT INDUSTRY

Maintaining a high standard offashion is an important part ofBritain's A\rar effort. Fashion is avital export industry which, in spiteof blood and fire, still contributes itsshare to trade with friendly countriesoverseas, helping to bring in returnthe war materials and equipment sourgently needed in the island fortress.

British fashions have always beenfamous for their hallmark of refinementand super-quality. London tailoringhas been supreme ever since the daysof Beau Brummel. Its exponents todaycontinue this unbroken record in spiteof Hitler's attempts to devastate theirstronghold, and the tradition of cen-turies recommends the excellence ofBritish fabrics. Small wonder, then,that the war has stimulated Britishdesigners to higher endeavours and

resourcefulness. Norman Hartnell, de-signer to the Queen, creates collectionsof clothes for American trade whichare as British as Buckingham Palace.He has utilised the products of homeindustry with many novel effects.Checked flannel from Wales in its tra-ditional red, black, and white patternmakes a simply tailored dress appro-priately buckled with two miniaturebrass kettles. A huge vivid plaid intones of grey, scarlet, and royal ismade into a swagger travel coat andworn with black jersey, hat, and acces-sories, and a scarlet skirt. Hounds-tooth checked tweed, tailored to anicety for a slim classic coat, has blackvelvet collar and cuffs.

BONNETS FROM SCOTLAND.Aage Thaarup, London milliner, has

some excitement ■■■to offer in the hat

line with bonnets from "Bonny Scot-land." They're of velvet and worn onthe back of the head. More dressy arethe Paisley patterned turbans madewith matching cravats. Beau Brum-mel hats, also of velvet, are but onephase of another fashion which is mak-ing great headway.

Sparkling white accessories in cot-ton pique are an English springtimemode. In these the Beau Brummel in-fluence is evinced with dashing stocks,crisply fluted collars and cuffs, quiltedand rolled-collared waistcoats, starchedand tucked dicky fronts.

IN ENGLAND NOW

WOMEN'S COSMETIC HUNT

MUNITION WORKERS' NEED

Women will have to use less make-up. Supplies of cosmetics are shorterthan ever today, states the "EveningStandard."

"We have less than two weeks' sup-ply in stock—and it's got to last fortwo months," said the manageress ofone London firm. "We are. allowed toproduce only 25 per cent, of our pre-war output, and the demand hasreached colossal proportions.

"Not only do we have to supplywomen who used to buy importedFrench scents and cosmetics. We haveanother big new clientele—munitionsworkers. They want the best face-creams they can afford.

"And there is no doubt about it—women are hoarding cosmetics." shecc.tinued. "We do not allow any oneclient to buy more than a half-poundjar of facp cream at a time, but thereis nothing to prevent her getting othersby sending friends for them."

TOO MANY VARIETIES.There are still far too many varieties

cf cosmetics. With more economicalproduction, more women would gettheir fair share. Where one make oflipstick was obtainable in 40 shadesbefore the war, it can now be got in20.

Fifteen years ago women had to becontent with two lipstick colours—alight and a dark. They will probablybe limited to the same choice again.

A lavish variety of powder coloursis offered, too. There are ten shadesof one brand still available. Beforethe war there were 30 or 40.

Women go from shop to shop hunting for the precise shade they want.

PADDED FINGER-TIPS

SAVING RUBBER GLOVES

Rubber gloves have a nasty habit ofquickly becoming thin at the fingertips due to the finger nails being rather

Here is a tip to prevent that. Pressa small pellet of cotton wool into thefinger tip and the padding thus servesas protection to the rubber and in-cidentally improves the fit.

When making sandwiches, cut thecorners off first and then in the ordin-ary way. They will cut easier and thesandwiches will look better.

As a blind opening lead against atrump contract, the top card of aworthless doubleton or tripleton. froma hand containing tenaces in othersuits, is an ideal waiting lead. Partnerwill not be misled by such a lead, as,if a card cannot be read as a fourthhighest, the assumption is that it is adoubleton or a top of nothing lead—it is seldom a singleton. Partner, ongaining the lead, will not return thesuit; he will be guided by his ownhand and that of dummy as to whatsuit he will play to his partner.

In choosing between the lead of adoubleton or a tripleton at a trumpcontract, the doubleton should be pre-ferred, as an occasional ruff resultsfrom a doubleton but not from a trip-leton lead. (In making a blind leadagainst a no-trump contract with thesame type of hand, the tripleton is tobe preferred.)

When the hand contains tenaces butno plain-suit doubleton, the openinglead of a trump when holding two orthree small trumps is an excellentwaiting lead. A singleton trump, how-ever, is characterised by Culbertson asone of the worst leads in bridge; itoften traps Q.x.x. or J.x.x.x. in the part-ner's hand, thus playing into the de-clarer's hand and saving him the neces-sity of worrying about the adversetrump position. There are still manyplayers who do not appreciate thedamaging nature of the opening leadof a singleton trump in defensive play.

A waiting trump lead should not beconfused with the defenders' trumpdefence. The former is simply a wayof protecting a defender's tenaces inother suits, while the latter makes useof trump leads to prevent the declarerfrom making tricks with ruffers. Thisis a powerful defence against the de-clarer's ruffing game, when the biddinghas indicated a cross-ruff position.

A trump is led as part of the anti-ruffgame in the following situations:—

(1) When the bidding has shown thatdummy's hand consists mainly ol dis-tributional strength—short suits andtrumps. For instance, opening bid onespade, partner gives a direct raise tofour spades, which shows at least fivetrumps and a singleton, but very littleoutside.value. 1| honour tricks at most.This is a most favourable position fora defender to open with a trump lead,and, if the opportunity occurs, to leada second trump, thus lessening ruffingvalues in the opposition hands.

(2) When the bidding has shown that

the declarer has only four trumps, anddummy has at most four trumps.

(3) Against pre-emptive bids, whenthe trump suit is usually solid, and itis desirable to throw the declarer inin order to make him lead any outsidesuit from his own hand. Any leadother than a trump may possibly givehim an extra trick, whereas the trumplead does not give him any informa-tion regarding outside suits.

The opening lead of a small trumpwhen holding A.x.x. is particularlyeffective when the defender has reasonto think that he will regain the leadto his own advantage early in the playof the hand. The following handclearly illustrates this point:—

4 J.5.5.V 5.2.4 A.7.6.4.£ A.10.9.3.

A A.6.4. Nsnh7~~| 4 3.2.if K.J.9.4. ■■ S j sj if 7.6.4 5.3.2. I £ 4, Q.J.I O.S.Jft 7.6.4. I South. I ffr K.Q.J.5.2.

Souths bidding clearly marks himwith at least ten cards in spades andhearts combined. (Souths rebid ofhis second suit, hearts, showed a five-card suit.) North's bidding does notshow support for either suit, but afterSouths three-heart rebid he shows'preference for spades. It is very prob-able, therefore, that he holds threespades and two hearts. If this is so,South will make advantageous use ofthe spades in dummy if he is allowedto do "so. West, anticipating that Southwill at the first opportunity take afinesse in hearts with the object ofruffing a third round of that suit indummy, should make the opening leadof a small spade. The trick is wonwith dummy's eight. A small heartis led and the Queen is finessed. Westwins the trick and immediately leadsthe Ace and another trump.. Southcannot now make his contract, as Westmust make two more heart■ tricks. Itwill be seen that any lead other thana trump would give South his contract.

NEW STYLE "DAILIES"

WELL-PAID LONDON GIRLS

DOMESTIC PROBLEM SOLVED

Girls who are clever at domesticwork are earning up to £5 a weeK inLondon by sharing out their servicesamong several employers living inlabour-saving flats, states the "EveningStandard."

They receive wages in excess of theusual "charing" fee of lOd or Is anhour. Because of the scarcity ofdomestic workers some employers willpay £1 or 25s a week to a maid whowill work for two hours each day.

Many of these women have husbandsin the Army and receive wives' al-lowances in addition.

Some of the new-style "dailies" goto one flat at 7.30, cook breakfast andclean up. After about two hours theygo to a second flat, make beds, tidythe rooms, and, perhaps, prepare anoven dish for dinner,

A third two-hour shift can beworked in before 3 o'clock, leaving theafternoon and evening free.

The maids" travelling expenses arepaid by the employer, and meals areprovided in -nany cases.

Children's nurses seem likely to fol-low suit.

"I am leaving my present residen-tial post to go out daily to look afterone baby in each of two houses," saidone nurse. "I want the evenings off."

NO GLAMOUR JOB

W.A.A.F. IN AUSTRALIA

RIGID DISCIPLINE

Complete Air Force discipline pre-vails at the Women's Auxiliary AirForce Depot, Malvern, Victoria, where30 airwomen, four officers, and 26 air-craftwomen are stationed, says the"Sydney Morning Herald" Women'sSupplement.

The Air Board has taken over St.Margaret's School, where trainees arehoused. Classrooms are being used fordormitories which contain nothing butR.A.A.F. regulation furnishings. *Training is no glamour job forW.A.A.F.s. Their day begins at 6.30

i a.m. by putting their rooms in order.Bed-clothes must be folded in trueiK./..A.F style, and rooms cleaned.Breakfast is taken from 7.15 to 7.45,followed by the first parade at 8. Halfan hour's squad drill is then given,and letter in the day those training inteleprinter operation go to VictoriaBarracks for instruction.

Some members who are not doingthis work are on the permanent staffas storekeepers, store clerks, and messstewards. At present girls are allowedleave from 5 p.m. to midnight one daya week, and from 5 p.m. on Friday tomidnight on Saturday each week.

RATES OF PAY.Though they are not yet in uniform

it has been decided that they will dressin uniforms similar to theR.A.A.F., theonly difference being that they willwear skirts and soft-crowned peakcaps.

Included in training are lectures onAir Force discipline and set periodsfor physical training. Evidence of thisis shown in the brisk and efficient wayin which the girls conduct themselveswhen on duty.

While they are trainees they will bepaid 3s 4d a day, and when they havefinished their course and have reachedthe Air Force standard of proficiency,wireless operators will receive 5s 8d aday and teleprinters ss. When quar-ters and rations are not provided, anallowance will be made. Uniforms andclothing will be supplied.

When training is completed it is jplanned that they will relieve men as jteleprinter operators, wireless opera-tors, and cooks and stewardesses forduties in R.A.A.F. hospitals at differentstations.

SOLDIER FARMERSSECURING LANDS

VIEWS OF N.Z.R.S.A.

CHANGES SOUGHT

A land settlement scheme forreturned soldiers from the presentwar was discussed by the annualconference of the New ZealandReturned Soldiers' Associationyesterday afternoon and recom-mendations asking for changes inthe existing law were approved.A special committee, reporting on the

Small Farms Amendment Bill, ap-proved the definition of a "dischargedsoldier," but recommended a specialAct dealing solely with land settlementfor discharged soldiers. It was sug-gested that the Government should pre-pare such legislation and submit thedraft to the N.Z.R.S.A. for considera-tion, also that regulations dealing withsoldier settlement should be submit-ted before being gazetted.

It was considered that no land, orinterest in land, owned by a returnedsoldier or his wife or dependantshould be taken under the Act. As thecommittee considered that the provi-sions in the Small Farms AmendmentAct for taking land were an infringe-ment of the liberties enjoyed by thepeople, it was recommended that theLands for Settlement Act should beused for that purpose.

A RENEWABLE LEASE.The tenure of the land suggested was

a renewable lease with the right ofconversion into freehold after fiveyears' occupancy, and that the saleof farms should not be allowed underten years, except in exceptional circum-stances. The lease, with right to pur-chase, should be on the capital valuefixed from the productive capacity ofthe land, and not greater than 4 percent., of that value, with J to 1 per cent,rebate from prompt payment.

Recommendations regarding the fin-ancing of soldier settlers included pro-vision to safeguard against financialjdifficulties during the years of estab-lishment.

Settler soldiers, the' committee con-sidered, should be classified into ex-perienced farmers, men with someknowledge of farming, and those withno experience or knowledge of farm-ing. Only experienced farmers shouldbe placed on second or third class landand they should be given rent, conces-sions and sufficient finance to enablethem to make the holdings self-sup-porting. Those with no experience offarming should have at least one yearof approved training. Consideration ofphysical capacity, age, and preferencefor a particular type of farming wasalso recommended. Advisory commit-tees throughout the country were alsorecommended.

A number of remits dealing withsoldier settlement were approved andthe report was adopted.

ONLY TWO PISTOLSCAPTURE OF BATTERY

NEW ZEALANDER IN PARTY

Three Australians, armed only withtwo pistols, rushed through burstingshells and a hail of bullets to an Italianbattery in Libya, forced the officersand men who manned it to surrender,and marched them back to A.I.F. head-quarters, two miles away, as prisoners.

They were Signalman Kenneth Clift,of Bondi, who received the D.C.M.,and Signalmen William Bruce andRobert McKeague, who were awardedmilitary medals. All are from NewSouth Wales.

Robert McKeague is a New Zea-lauder. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.McKeague, reside at 38 SutherlandRoad, Melrose. He was born at Castle-cliff, Wanganui, and was educated atthe Marist Brothers' School,' Newtown,and the St. Patrick's College. Welling-ton. He was in Australia when war'oroke out and enlisted with the A.I.F

The story of the episode, and of thecourage of other A.I.F. men in thedrive which culminated in the cap-ture of Benghazi, was told in cableswhich have been received by the Min-ister for the Army, Mr, Spender, con-firming awards made afterwards to100 Australians. The list was pub-lished in April.

Clift, Bruce, and McKeague had losttheir way when they were sent twomiles into the desert to lay a cablebetween battalion headquarters andthe brigade.

They were trying to find the bri-gade again when they saw the Italianbattery. Clift, who was in charge,immediately decided to attack, and thethree men headed for it, firing theironly weapons—two pistols.

ENGLISH

STANDARD AND SLANG

Professor Arnold Wall's "New Zea-land English," described as "A Guideto the Correct Pronunciation of Eng-lish, with special reference to NewZealand conditions and problems,"originally published in 1938, reappearsin a second edition, "revised and en-larged." Simultaneously submittedi'or review is "New Zealand Slang," byMr. S. J. Baker, author of a "Dictionaryof Australian Slang and Colloquialisms.'"Both books, attractively printed andbound, are published by Messrs. Whit-combe and Tombs. Both are extremelyinteresting, the - first dealing with"standard" English as recommendedfor New Zealand use, the second withNew Zealand English as it is spoken,particularly slang and its historicgrowth. Both represent a great dealof research, the results of which areset out in a scholarly way of particu-lar value to those concerned with edu-cating the public, whether in theschool1,over the air, or from the plat-form.

The new edition of "New ZealandEnglish" introduces the phonetic repre-sentation authorised by the Universityof New Zealand for use in all itsexaminations with the adoption of the"Standardised International PhoneticAlphabet." Incidentally, lovers ofgood print will be shocked once moreby this "printers' pie" of about all thetypes in the world's fonts of variouslanguages and including mathematicalsigns. It is a pity type designers couldnot have been called on to invent newforms of letters for an internationalalphabet; it could have been done.

Then . there is the more importantquestion of "standard" English. Whatis "standard" English? The authordescribes it variously as the English"spoken by the 'best' speakers in theOld Land," the "speech of the best-educated and conscientious (but nottoo conscientious) speakers of English,especially in Southern England" and,quoting Professor Daniel Jones in his"Pronouncing Dictionary," "that pro-nunciation most usually heard in thefamilies of Southern English peoplewho have been educated in the publicschools." Why, an American, an Aus-tralian, a New Zealander, or a residentof the British Isles who does not hailfrom Southern England, may well ask,this criterion? Why should one speakthis "standard" English? The authordisarms the criticism in the first sen-tence of his introduction: "This bookis designed for use by residents inNew Zealand who wish to speak 'good'English, or 'standard' English, asspoken, etc.; it is not intended for thosewho wish to develop a new dialect ofEnglish in this country, nor for thosewho openly say that they care nothingfor standards or authorities but meanito pronounce English words as theyplease."

11It is interesting to quote Mr. Baker's

"New Zealand Slang" on this point(Chapter X):

Even the best-educated Xew Zealanders, un-less they are freshly-returned from England,after fairly long residence there, do not speakwith the educated Southern English accent(which is loosely accepted as "standard" Eiib-

i lish pronunciation), and, moreover, New Zea-I landers with a "borrowed accent" tend to loseit rapidly on returning to their country.

Mr. Baker also quotes the editor of"National Education" (March, 1940):"New Zealand speech is distinctivelyof New Zealand. Nothing is to begained and much to be lost by foistinga Southern English dialect upon ourchildren."

A "Southern English dialect" isexactly how the millions of "out-siders," the vast majority of the Eng-lish-speaking people, would describe it.There is no particular harm in it, ifpeople choose to use it, naturally orartificially, in ordinary social inter-course; it is different when it is im-posed—or when an attempt is made toimpose it—on the listening public theworld over by the 8.8.C. and its imi-tators overseas. It will no doubt beimpossible to assess the damage donebefore and during the present war tothe cause for which we are fightingby the "standard" English of the 8.8.C.announcers and commentators, but letthe average reader and listener con-sider his own feelings when listeningin to the news and the talks thatfollow. It is well known that Ameri-cans, on whose friendship so much inthis war depends, dislike the 8.8.C.speech and manner intensely, and muchprefer the broad accents, say. of J. B.Priestley, the Yorkshireman, whomthey insisted on having back to themicrophone from retirement, or of theBritish Labour leaders, in the Cabinetand out, with their speech of the shiresor of Scotland and Wales. Above all,they prefer Mr. Churchill himself, who,emphatically, does not speak "stand-ard" English, but has a marked Mid-land accent and intonation. PresidentRoosevelt, everyone must admit, speaksthe best of English, but it is certainlynot "standard." Why then should webe asked to listen to "standard" Eng-lish from the 8.8.C. and the localbroadcasters?

The fact is that there is the greatestneed for a standard English for inter-national broadcasting, but it could not.be the "standard" English recom-mended by the 8.8.C. and Professor-Wall, which is a most difficult dialectto master in all its shades of vowelsounds and syllabic stresses. Eventhe most versatile artists at Hollywoodhave failed in their attempts, but thisis not to say that they have not im-proved on their original American.For an English to be used internation-ally the first essential would be apurification of vowel sounds and anapproach to uniformity. It is notrefinement that is wanted, but clarity,!simplicity, and strength. "Standard"English is "refined" enough in all con-science and could never, as such, be- ,come a universal language.

The subject cannot be amplified fur-ther here beyond saying that the "ex-perts." "professional phoneticians.""scientific men," of whom ProfessorWall (p. 6) speaks as making a "life-study of English pronunciation," mightwell turn their attention to this vastlymore important problem of studyinghow to create an international English,for all purposes, that will be easy tounderstand when heard or read and

!easy to speak and write. To do thejob might call for the appointment ofan international committee, includingrepresentatives of the peoples of theBritish Empire and of the UnitedStates, but the job could be done. Itwould be easier and far more usefulthan trying to impose "standard" Eng-lish on the worlds(Q.). '

HHHE chrysanthemums hung heavyA heads against the rain-wet hedge..Each shining hedge leaf, as bright asan emerald, threw up the lovely copperand bronze of the curling petals untilthey looked like flowers fashioned ofmetal. Aunt Searle was proud of herbeautiful blooms, but to Carol, whospent most of her lonely hours in thegarden, their tousled locks belonged toimagined playmates. She had namedeach one—names very different fromthe splendid titles in the gardener'scatalogue. That 'tall flecked brownhead belonged to "Nicky," a mischiev-ous elf of a girl. The delicate, palegold head belonged to Eleanor, a lan-guid child who was a model of goodbehaviour. The sturdy red-curled onebelonged to Ginger, a ragamuffin whowas always planning some new mis-chief.

Carol kept her garden childrenstrictly secret. Aunt Searle. had sheknown, would have said in her crispvoice, "You are too old for such baby-ish games!" But Aunt Sealie was atthat moment in the drawing-room,pouring pale amber lea into fragile tea-cups of hyacinth blue. In her mindCarol could see her long, pale fingerslifting the tall, silver teapot, passingthin sandwiches, and speaking in herquiet, precise voice to her visitor, anew neighbour, Mrs. Simon WillsCarol had wanted to look longer atMrs. Wills but she had been gentlyshepherded out of the drawing-roomwith just a fleeting memory of an ovalface above dark furs and a mouth that1curved as though everything was ajoke. Mrs. Wills came from America.

Carol sighed. She was tired ofpretending. She sauntered towardsher peephole in the hedge and lookedthrough. She was looking to see ifshe could see anything of Marigold,the child who lived across the road.She waited some time and at lastwas rewarded with a gleam of scarleton the opposite drive. She held herbreath with excitement. Somehow,watching Marigold always made herfeel like that, for the yellow-hairedgirl did some surprising things. Some-times she climbed the tree by the gateand swung by her legs. She dressed upin strange costumes and today she waswearing scarlet shorts! What wouldAunt Searle say if she saw them. Shehad already told Carol that she did notconsider the newcomer a suitable play-mate. "The child is allowed to runwild," she had objected. "And I don'tapprove of her father's books!" Carolhad no argument against that.

Suddenly Aunt Searle's voice madeher start and draw back from thehedge. "Carol!" called her aunt fromwhere she stood with Mrs. Wills at thefront door, "Something that'll pleaseyou—Mrs. Wills has invited you to aparty."

"It's for my little Veronica," smiledMrs. Wills. "All her young friends arecoming. There'll be fireworks andgames!" Carol managed to find breathenough to say thank you. It was to bea fancy dress party and Aunt Searlewas making her a "Lavender Lady"frock. It was flowed and frilly withdear little bows of lilac satin.

The party guests had been asked to,

arrive at four. Aunt Searle took Carolin a taxi and left her at the Wills'sdoorway. The "Lavender Lady" waswelcomed in the lantern-hung hall andtaken into Veronica's apple-blossombedroom to leave her warm cape.There seemed to be peals of laughter,bumping noises, and running footstepsall over the house, and from the dance-room music was drifting. It made herfeet in her satin slippers long to dance.Veronica in her quaint, drawling voicecalled to her to hurry, and togetherthey ran down the stairs. Down inthe hall a tall pirate in shining blackboots and a scarlet sash levelled a gunat her in startling fashion.

"By my cutlass!" said he gruffly,"here's a comely maiden!" As heleaned forward his brass earrings,swung beneath his close-drawn 'ker-chief and a blacked tooth gave him asinister smile, but his eyes twinkled.

"A dance, fair maid, or away you'llsail in the 'Jolly Roger'," bullied thepirate. When Veronica laughed mer-rily, Carol joined in too, and awayshe ran with the pirate. She soonfound out that he was not nearly asfierce as he looked. He too understoodthe game of "Lets Pretend." Togetherthey watched the fireworks breakinginto fairy rainbows, flowers, and spiralsagainst the dark sky.

The evening was vanishing likemag':. Carol wished it might neverend. She was going to fee] lonelierthan ever when it came time to say•'Good-bye." If only Aunt Searle didn'tthink that boys were too rough forplayfellows!

Aunt Searle had said that Mrs. Willswould drive her home but, as theyj

gathered to say good-night the pirateannounced: "My good man Long Johnwill be steering the homeward course.I should be honoured, fair maid, ifyou would accompany us. Our hostesshas given her consent."

Carol's eyes sparkled. She wonder-ed who was "Long John," but she wassoon to know. He came sweeping upthe drive at the wheel of a long car.His coat collar was turned up and his

[ hat down, so that Carol could not seemuch more than a pair of twinklingeyes.

"To the helm, man," commanded thepirate, "and follow my orders or it'llbe the worse for 'cc!" The big manturned obediently and with a churn-ing of gravel, the car turned home-wards. The pirate lounged back in.the seat and.pushed back his 'kerchiefimpatiently. CaroJ gaped, for under ithad tumbled a crop of yellow-goldcurls. ■. '. .

"We'll, that was good fun," breathedthe pirate-ess contentedly. "I'll seeyou tomorrow, perhaps. I live justacross the road.

"Yes," put in Long John. "You mustcome over and play with Bobbie."

They pulled up outside her own doorand Carol had scarcely collected herbreath when Aunt Searle appearedand began to talk to Long John.

"I've always called you 'Marigold,' nsaid the Lavender Lady sleepily.

"O, I'm no garden flower!" laughedBobbie, and Carol felt guilty, as, in aflash she seemed to see in a row thechrysanthemum children, "Nicky" and"Ginger" and "Lady Eleanor." She>wouldn't need them any more.

BIRTHDAY THOUGHTS.(Original.)

There's magic abroad in the King tonight,All the elves and the pixies make merry.For a birthday is always so full of delight.With all kinds of greetings so cheery.So long may we welcome the birthday each

yearOf our own special page in the Ring.May sunshine and happiness, gladness! and

cheer,He the part that we children may bring.

"SNOWBALL."Houghton Valley.

THE FAIRY RING.(Original.)

I was wand'rlng through the meadows when Isaw a wondrous thing,

For, looking down, I perceived a dainty FairyRing.

I did not wait, in case that I should spoiltheir revelry,

But went and hid myself behind a nearbytree.

The fairies were dancing hand in hand,And it seemed that 1 belonged to some far-

away land.11 heard the music playing low and sweet,And now and then I heard the sound of

dancing feet.I heard the tinkling of a, bell, and then the

Queen spoke,And this is what she said to all her fairy folk:"Today is the birthday of the Ring;'Tis time to dance and time to sing.So, my fairy folk, be happy and gny,For by evening we must away."O'er the meadow I wandered home,Resolving next year that way to roamAnd see the fairies at their playAs they celebrate the King's birthday.

"MOON MIST" (13).

"Grey Owl," City.—You were not a great suc-cess as a weather prophet but the descrip-tion of your attempt to read the sky madehumorous reading and I'm sure yours wasn'tthe only umbrella to greet the sun. Goodstorymaking! I wish we could have foundroom for "Anne's Adventure" in this even-ing's Ring.

"Aunt Sukie," Island Bay.—Moving housemade everything topsy-turvy for a little while,of course. 1 enjoyed your letter and thelittle story. Your knitting club must bedoing some splendid work for the gallantmen of the Navy.

"Fluff," Lower Hutt.—A little more practicefor your sketching pen, pixie. Keep ontrying even if your first drawings are notprinted.

"Vagrant Gipsy," Wadestown.—So our gipsywandered even across the Tasman Sea. Dotell us more about it. We missed you fromyour mushroom. Good news that you havedrawings and poems to send.

"Chatterbox," Lower Hutt.—I have written yourname on the roll, Valeric, so now you arereally an elf of the Ring. We'll be watchingfor another letter soon.

"Snowball," Houghton Bay.—But, of course,we remember you and we expect to see youback in the Ring when winter is near. Afterall it is your work which matters more thanyour penname, so will you please keep thisone?- I'il ask the Ring about-the mittens.

"Maria M.," City.—Welcome to the Ring, newelf. Have you thought of a penname yet?I hope you'll come visiting again soon.

"Anne F.," Kelburn.—Do you want to join theRing, Anne ? There was no' letter in yourenvelope with the poem.

"Lilac Lady," Newtown.—lt was nice of you tocall after visiting the dentist. We didn't ex-pect any mid-morning visitors as holidayswere over, so, you see, your visit was a plea-sant surprise.

"Fairy Lily," Miramar.—Welcome to Shirleyand Margaret's sister. It was a beautifully-printed letter, Barbara, and Letterbox Elfenjoyed the drawing of John and Joan.

"Sky Flower," City.—We look for you alwaysnot far from "Cloud Lady" on visiting dayand we're not often disappointed. Nowwe're looking forward to seeing your namein the verse or story columns.

" (any name). The players, afterwriting that, fold the part down soit cannot be seen. They then hand iton to the left-hand person. They pro-ceed to write, "She lived " (de-scribe where she lived). They changeagain, folding over the written part.Going on in this manner the playersproceed, the story going on about theadventures she had. Then the papersare unfolded and read aloud.

WALNUT RACE.The competitors are given a walnut

shell, the hollow part up on a knife.The race is run the same as in "Egg-and-spoon." The first one successfullyreaching the tape wins a prize.

RICE PICTURES.The host drops ten grains of rice on

paper. The player makes a markwhere they have fallen and draws apicture, using the marks as an put-line. The best picture-maker is award-ed a prize.

ANIMAL, BIRD, OR FISH.The players are seated on the floor,

the host numbers them. Then he criesto a number, "Name an animal 1-2-3!"If the player called fails to name tlierequired thing before the counting isfinished or the name has been said bya previous player, she must go out.The host may also cry, "Name a fish,"or "Name a bird."

PIXIE PEOPLE:Fourteen candles flicker in our Fairy Ring tonight . . . more

candles than the mushrooms which formed that tiny circle one Mayevening fourteen years ago. Are you all here together in ourBirthday Ring . . . the elves whose letters come to me week by week,the new people we welcome tonight, and all those elves who, thoughthey have passed out of the Ring and into the grown-up world,still write stories and make pictures for your delight?

A young poet, Eleanor Milson, aged 13, has written a "Songof Fairyland," which explains our thoughts of a Fairy Ring, or,to give it another name, the Land of Imagination, which it is goodto seek sometimes, even when your birthday candles number thricefourteen! Here are the lines:

One wild, free moment of delight!A silken curtain, blown for one brief timeBy fairy breezes; elfin laughter gayThrills your heart with music, joy, and rhymeOf happiness. Ah, this is Fairyland!Up to the golden cloudlets let us climb,To the mystic land where we can briefly dwell.Imagination takes its happy flights,And, soaring high into the freshening air,Sees the bright and shining fairy sights ... :

Birthday scrapbooks are mounting up ... truly beautiful booksthat will delight small patients. Thank you to all my elves whohave given their spare minutes to .make them.

I hope you will enjoy the party stories, games, and drawingsthat fill our Birthday Page tonight.

My love to you all.FAIRIEL. !

Fairiel Sends An Answer To • . . •

A PIRATE AT THE PARTY: JSTS^/ESS

"PLEASE . . .!"Can any Ring member send direc-

tions for knitting mittens to fit aschoolgirl? If so, would she pleasesend them to "Snowball," care of theFairy King, "Evening Post"?

Jeanette Collier, aged 13, 79 HeraldStreet, Berhampore, would like to re-ceivp letters from Rinse members.

"Spring Bud," Upper Hutt.—We send birthdaywishes for year ten. What a long list of pre-sents for one lucky elf. Best of luck for theexams.

"Honey Queen," Pukerua Bay.—l hope you en-joyed your holidays, pixiekin. We are al-ways pleased to see a letter from this seasidemushroom.

"Mother Bear," Lower Hutt.—l'm sure you and"Bush Elf" had lots to discuss. We couldalmost sniff the perfume of that daphnetree as we read your garden news, laapaper doll cut-out is very nicely drawn.

"Bush Elf," SHverstream.—l think there musthave been a conspiracy between you and"Sunray Sally," for you wrote a story about"Dewdrop," and, hey presto! there appeareda

#drawing of that same small fairy.

"Stiver Eye," City.—A new scrapbook thatyou'd love to see, pixiekin, for in it thereis your favourite "Blondie" and beautifulwater-colour sketches by our "Buster" elves.

"Brian C," Upper Hutt.—l'm glad you cameto the Ring with Grace, Brian. I wonderif you too are good at drawing ships andaeroplanes like most of our boy mem-bers ?

"Peg o' My Heart," Ngalo.—Ever so manyletters this week from new friends who, untilthese holidays, were only penfriends. Itwas nice to find yours among them . . .although there was a lecture in it ...and I remembered to ask every visitor tosign the Visitors' Book after that!

"Pink Water-lily," Ngaio.—Exciting to be ableto buy toffee apples at school. I 'spect Itwas to help with war funds. Your collec-. tion of leaves is growing quite large. Ourelf, "Southerly Buster," has a very goodcollection.

"Bonny," Lower Hutt.—Thank you for thelittle sketch tucked in with your note. Some-thing tells me that you are a very goodbasketball player. I like the drawing ofthe pixie postman.

"Grace C," Upper Hutt.—l'm sure you arelonging for another painting competition,Grace. Try the candle fairy picture in thispage tonight. It- will make a dainty XewYear calendar picture if you save it till theend o' the year. '"Gipsy Lass," Lower Hutt.—Splendid news of

| stories and poems, Barbara. Pop them intoi your nearest letterbox. We're very glad

to welcome another of "Blinking Billy's"friends.

"May Day Elf," Lower Hutt.—And a cheerywelcome to you, Peggy. We have a largecircle of ten-year-olds in the Ring, andamong them are some of our best artistsand verse-makers. Write again soon. elf.

lUMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTHE DEWDROP GOWN

(Original.)Poor little Bluebell was as worried•as worried could be. She had been

invited to the Fairy Queen's Ball, andhad no dress to wear. "Oh, what canI do?" she cried. Then she had anidea. "I think I know. I'll make aneAv dress-fashion in Fairyland."

So, with all the money that she hadleft, she bought a million dewdrops,which she strung together into theshape of a dress. It rippled and

gleamed like silver mail! With thepetals of some bluebells she made her-self a beautiful cloak. A thousand oldglow-worms willingly gave their fire,which Bluebell wove into a shiningtiara. New and dainty it looked.

Carrying her gift of violet wine forFairiel, she hurried to the FairyPalace. Having presented her gift tothe Queen, she'began dancing with alittle pi&ie dressed in scarlet. At mid-night Fairiel announced the winner ofthe prize for the prettiest and mostoriginal dress. Little Bluebell was thelucky winner! Amid cheering andclapping she stepped up to the throneand received her prize. Because shehad created the new fashion in Fairy-land, Bluebell became the fairies' fash-ion expert.
