MANPOWER AND THE FUTURE

THE House of Representatives will reassemble to-morrow to discussthe manpower situation, concerning which its members now possess

up-to-date information that it has been thought advisable to deny tothe public. On this aspect members should be aware that, although

their discussion is not to be held in "secret session," but openly, exceptthat there will be no broadcast, the effect as far as the public is con-cerned will be no different if the Press reports are subjected to heavycensorship. The Prime Minister has given a public assui-ance that thecensorship will be concerned only with "security," but interpretationsof that word differ widely. At the least, New Zealanders are entitledto know as much about their own manpower problem, and about theirown representatives' expressed opinions, as they may already knowfrom published reports about the similar problems in the UnitedKingdom, .Canada and Australia.

As far as can be gathered from the Prime Minister's guardedstatement last week, the conclusion of the War Cabinet is that, for the

next twelve months, New Zealand can continue to maintain and reinforcetwo Divisions overseas, and to expand its air force, while at the sametime it supports the home defence forces at a level deemed safe in tne

light of the changed circumstances in the Pacific, and maintains andincreases its primary production. The admitted difficulties of doing athis are increased by the fact that the overseas forces have to bmaintained in different hemispheres. The principle of economy of eff°i

suggests strongly that the Dominion's resources could be used *noi

effectually if its military and air forces were as far as possible concen-trated in one theatre of war, and that theatre the Pacific. Apart fromthe manpower question, it is apparent that the present necessity ofstudving and supplying, from a great distance, the needs of a force mthe "Middle East, and those of another force m the Pacific, whereconditions are very different, imposes an unwarranted strain upon theresources of a small country. The wisdom of retaining the SecondDivision in the Middle East until the Axis forces have been driven fromTunisia is not questioned, but there is sound reason for the PrimeMinister's intimation that when the forces under General Eisenhowerare finally victorious the future role of the Division will be reconsidered.The Pacific war is very far frcm being won, and, whatever happens mEurope, and no matter whether Germany is defeated soon or late, NewZealand cannot know peace until Japan is also vanquished. To thismajor consideration muSt be added the widespread and legitimatesentiment that the Middle East Division, after helping to "finish the job"in North Africa, will have fully earned a respite at home.

Meanwhile, on the home front, which becomes not less but moreimportant because of the Dominion's undertakings to furnish supplies,in great quantity and variety, to our Allies, the problems of productiongrow more acute. It will be one of the duties of members of Parliamentto consider whether the requirements of production can be adequatelymet under the military arrangements proposed. In the competition formanpower and womanpower, the armed services enjoy advantages over

• industry, both in town and country. It is for members to satisfy them-selves that, particularly in the home defence forces, no man is retainedwho could be better used in industry. This is not to suggest that theneeds of home defence forces should be regarded as subordinate—ontile contrary, the aim should be to make them as efficient as possible,by fully utilising the services of the younger men, and particularly thosemen who have had active service experience overseas. The presentobstacles to the promotion of such men should be removed by theretirement of older officers who have given fine service (many of themfor the second time) to their country, and are now entitled to be allowedto return to their civil occupations. There is also the question, stillobscure, of the Government's intentions regarding men balloted in the41-45 age group. Although it seems that they are not to be called forfull-time service, the advantage of requiring them to undergo a shortperiod of intensive training should not be overlooked. On all suchquestions the public has waited with growing impatience for information,to which it is entitled, and it will look now to members of Parliamentto elicit such information'and to express their views, fairly but fully, on

« all aspects of the most important question of the . day.

GENERAL MacARTHUR'S NEEDS

iF it; is true that nothing succeeds like success, the brilliant successof General MacArthur's bombers in the battle of the Bismarck Sea

should make it easier for him to press home his case for reinforcements.That case, it is reported, is now being presented in Washington byGeneral MacArthur's chief air officer, General Kenny, in person, and itis likely that he will soon be strongly supported by the AustralianAttorney-General, Dr. Evatt. As was to be expected,s the Japanese havenot been deterred, by the total loss of one convoy, from proceedingwith their plans to strengthen their forces on the northern New Guineacoast. The circumstances which enabled the Allied air force to strikewith all its power have not recurred, and it appears that part of theconvoy reached its destination. If so, the troops that have landed willin all probability have to be disposed of later by land operationsrequiring immense organisation and exertion and inevitable loss of life.That, simply, is the case for strengthening the Allied air force, whichhas shown that when the circumstances suit the numbers and types ofplanes at its disposal it can score a clean-cut and most economicalvictory. The question of whether the current Japanese activity has anoffensive or a defensive purpose has little point, for an operation intendedoriginally to be defensive may be« transformed if the resistance offered itis discovered to be weak. What is needed is such an alteration in thebalance of forces, particularly air forces, that the Japanese, not theAllies, will be obliged continually to wonder what the enemy will donext. General MacArthur and Admiral Halsey, each in, his own area,have shown how much can be accomplished with limited forces; theyhave, by their performances, won the right to ask that they be enabledto do more.

NEWS OF THE DAYRed Cross Clock

A Red Cross clock, made by dis-abled servicemen in Invercargill, hasbeen presented to the provincialpatriotic authorities. The clock willbe erected in the vestibule of theInvercargill railway station and itshands will be set to the arrival oftrains bearing sick and wounded sol-diers.

Rabbits in Streets"Rabbits have even Invaded the

streets of Oamaru," said a speaker atthe conference held in Dunedin todiscuss ways and means of dealingw;th the rabbit menace. Thespeaker added that an indication ofthe position in North Otago could beobtained from the • experience of aHome Guard unit -in one district.Armed with sticks and stones, themen had killed more than 100 rab-bits in an afternoon.

Blindness OvercomeAlthough completely blinded while

serving with the Royal Air Force,Esmond Knight, the well-knownEnglish actor, has returned to hisformer profession and is now re-hearsing for a forthcoming produc-tion in London. • Mr. Knight hasovercome his lack of sight to such adegree that he is now able to takehis place on the stage and to carrythrough his part without a hitch.Such acting calls for an exception-ally high standard, but Mr. Knightis able to go through the whole per-formance without the slightest hesi-tation, even to picking up and light-ing a cigarette.

Bank Teller s Lucky DayIt happened on Friday, but it was

Friday the 12th and not the unlucky13th this month, and one man inAuckland thought it a very lucky12th. He was a bank teller, and allthe morning he was rushed chang-ing dollars into pounds. At the endof the morning he balanced his cashand found to his dismay that he hadgiven someone £15 too much. Hethought back over his American cus-tomers. Surely it must have beenthe very tall one with some red onhis sleeve. So off he trotted to U.S.Army headquarters to inquire for atall American with red on his sleeve.H.Q. thought it a great joke. "Wewish you luck," said they. "Thereare only several thousands of ourmen on leave to-day with red onthem." It seemed hopeless, but theteller was a determined man. Heset out to walk up and down QueenStreet looking into every shop andhotel. And, believe it or not, on histhird trip down Queen Street helooked into an hotel and there washis man. But, had he spent themoney by now? The teller spoketo him. Yte, he had changed hismoney at that bank that morningand he still had the £15. The tellerreturned, a happy man and a firmbeliever in the lucky 12th.

Money's Changing ValueIt seems incredible, but it happens

to be true. An eight-year-old boyentered a suburban toy shop a fewdays ago carrying a shilling, theproceeds of many weeks' conscien-tious saving. He wanted to buy abirthday present for his baby sister,but was turned away with the inti-mation that there was nothing forsale under a shilling! Money isvalued very differently by the risinggeneration from the way it was bytheir parents and grandparents.Pocket money these days ismeasured in terms of shillings, notpence, which is probably more a re-flection of high prices than of indul-gence on the part of parents orcupidity on the part of their off-spring.

A Forceful MushroomA mushroom measuring two and

a half inches across was found tohave thrust its way through morethan an inch of the tightly compres-sed bitumen which comprises thefloor of the Kensington Hall, Dun-edin, says the Evening Star. Themushroom came through the battlewith one small piece broken off oneside, but it was apparent from theheap of broken composition sur-rounding it that this frail-lookingfungoid growth emerged with all thehonours. More amazing than theactual penetration of the bitumen isthe presence of the mushroom in thisspot, for the floor had been downfor a number years, and this wasthe first time anything like this hadoccurred. Earlier this week twoother mushrooms appeared througha compact clay formation, and they,too, must have lain dormant foryears. - .

Matter of Hearing"Perhaps rty hearing is not as

good as it was." This sad statementwas made by two members of theAuckland Electric Power Board atits meeting yesterday. Mr. R. H.Bartley, general manager, was re-ferring to complaints which had beenmade at the previous meeting byseveral members who could not hearthe chairman, secretary and othersspeak. It was agreed that with thewindows open last week, owing tothe heat, the noise of the traffic hadbeen terrific, but two members saidthat even prior to this they had diffi-culty in hearing. They had wonderedif microphones could be installed inthe room. Mr. W. J. Campbell saidwith a smile that he thought those"on the bench" spoke with theirheads down instead of up. He him-self had been pulled up for the samething when presiding over theEducation Board. The chairman andgeneral manager, Messrs.

The ODD ANGLEBy MacCLURE

9 BUCKSHEE ADVICEMost of you who have witnessed

a wrestling bout in the Town Halland heard the gratuitous adviceoffered the performing pair are,naturally, under the impression that(especially if it's your own advice)the two poor devils in the ring aregrateful. The truth is they're not.Not as a rule. Now and then a moremodest champ, realising that the on-looker sees more of the game thanhe does, and, after all, he's only atrier, will admit that -the pointraised by the anaemic old lady inthe front row ("Break his blastedneck!") is really the solution, evenif for the look of the thing, hedoesn't act upon it. But whetherone receives ecknowledgment or notit is the duty of every member ofthe audience to offer his or her ad-vice and criticism, to contributeeverythinghe or she knows, to warnthe opponents, to anticipate comingcounter-measures and to wholeheart-edly co-operate.© THE INQUIRING VISITOR

Now modern war's like that. Youwho night after night read the warnews in the Star, and listen to the8.8.C. verifying it, must havenoticed time after time that theAllies make some move that "Motherof Five," "Citizen," or somebodyhas, in a letter to the Editor, saidshould be done. True enough at thetime, somebody with less than halfyour share of brains has throwncold water on the plan, but eventhough you did not have the pleasureof personally receiving the thanksof the Allied High Command f<?rdrawing their attention to it, stillyou do know in your own heart that,had it not been for you, things wouldbe vastly different to-day. And thatreminds me. On Thursday last I hadstriking proof given me that all thetime there is someone, somewhere,watching.every word you write tothe Editor, someone reading yourcriticism, seeking ideas, keen toprofit by your advice even thoughPeter and Walter do frown uponthe likes of you and me (and Mr.Doidge) and warn us that every help-ful word we utter, or write, may beour last —even though they are tootactful to phrase it that way. Ihad striking proof, I said. I did. Asa matter of strict fact Polk of theNew York Herald-Tribune calledon me to ascertain my views—andyours—on post-war relationships ingeneral and permanent Pacific basesin particular. "The name's Polk,P—O—L—K," he said, gripping myhand so hard he hurt. Could I sparehim a little time to discuss thesematters? He stayed three hours, and,Peter notwithstanding, we discussedthese matters in detail—although,naturally, I did not bind Peter (orWalt) to any of the decisions wearrived at.© FUTURE IN THE PACIFIC

If, therefore, it was you whodropped in to see me last Thursdayand found me so deep in conversa-tion with this representative of thegreat American Press that youhesitated to interrupt me, pleaseaccept my apologies. With the warhurrying rapidly to a close (or isn'tit?), I think most of you realise theimportance of impressing upon Mr.Roosevelt, and M. Stalin, and Mr.Churchill, that, whatever decisionsthey have already come to in regardto our fate—and by "our" I mean wepeople of the S.W. Pacific—Australiaand New Zealand . principally—weare insistent that we be consulted inthe matter and the views of ourrepresentatives at the final dividing-up be accorded the attention due tothem. In view, however, of the magni-ficent defence put up by Russia (anddon't get me wrong, I said defence)and the heroic struggle put up byChina for so many long, weary yearsbefore we became involved, andbecause America only made up herown mind after she was attacked,there is going to be quite a lot ofquestions to settle around that peacetable. And not the least of themis that of our own fate—Australia'sand New Zealand's.© POST-WAR RELATIONSHIPS

Now it's always just as well,when you're discussing inter-national affairs and the carving-upof territories, to know at least some-thing about both; especially'aboutthe territory that's to be "re-distri-buted," who owns it now, how theycame by it, and so on. As for post-war relationships, it's all very wellto say, holding your fingers up todemonstrate, "After the war we(Russia, China, Britain and theU.S.A., are just going to be—likethat." Because we feel "that way"about each other right now and ourcourtship of M. Stalin is goingaheadwithout a hitch, we mustn't assumethat any or all of us will finish upbeing "hitched" to each other afterthe war's over. Or that, in spite ofour ardent affection for each other(assuming we're just as ardent then),any of us will be only too pleasedto part up with any of the familyplate—or smilingly look on whilesome one of us, satisfied that HE isthe best man, carves up the cake tosuit himself. Not a bit of it. There'sgoing to be quite a lot of proposi-tions put to the peace delegates, andit's better that in these early stageseach of us give serious thought toour own national rights, as well asto our future duties and obligations—of which there'll be plenty.© CANDID COMMENT

Now Polk (the family name wasoriginally Pollock, Irish-Scottish)understood all this. Just how, forinstance, we were going to get onwith Russia "afterwards" left adoubt in his mind, too. As for those"permanent U.S. bases in the Pacific,"(he sounded me out in respect toGuadalcanar as a starter) they, too,will need discussing—more than heand I could give them. A much-travelled young man, keen, efficient,alert, friendly to us (very much so),he, too, realised that, after the war,America may go just like she didafter the last war—back into her ownshell, satisfied to look after her ownbusiness, as before. "Some of ourfellows are picking that, too," hesaid, with that friendly smile all hisown. Naturally, when you are dis-cussing the bombing of Rome with,say a Presbyterian, he is apt to bewell ahead of you. You've got to betactful; and I was. "Go ahead,, it'sall right with me," he said, smiling."It's always been my own opinionthat, in the last war, we "joined intoo late, with the result that someof us got to believe that we actuallywon it." In Australia he had metwith hostile criticism of Amurrica,her aggressiveness, her assertive-ness. Oh, yes. He realised thatAmericans had their ideas, "but re-gardless of our differing outlooks,personal likes and dislikes, etc., we'regoing to pull together after this, areal working team, eh, Mr. Mac-Clure." Sure. Why not? Here'shoping, anyway.

SLY-GROGGERS OPERATETO ROB THE COMMUNITY

(By E.K.G.—No. 2.)

Sly-groggers, operating on the"black market," are robbing thepublic. The liquor they sell shouldbe coming on the market throughregular channels at legal, stabilisedprices. Through their dealings,stocks, particularly of spirits, arebeing depleted. If they are allowedto continue those stocks may soonbe exhausted.

Those who are prepared to dealwith them are being supplied at un-regulated "famine" prices.

They are robbing the communityin other ways, too. There is noguarantee with the goods they sell.They may be adulterated, or "doc-tored." They may be dangerous tohealth.

Commercial bottling is a processclosely watched by the Health De-partment and other Government in-,spectors for the protection of thepublic. Who inspects the productsbottled by the sly-grog racketeers?Who can guarantee even that thebottles are clean?

It is an illegal, dangerous business.How do the sly-groggers operate?

A variety of methods has beenrevealed. In most cases they havetaken premises, or obtained the useof premises—sometimes lock-upshops and sometimes houses—insecluded streets about the city area.

By the use of "touts," either streetloungers or men in motor cars, ser-vicemen and others requiring liquorare directed or taken to these pre-mises. Sometimes there are "touts"in the roadway outside the premiseswho approach and dir.ect inquirersinto the premises. Sometimes these"touts" take the order and themoney and bring the liquor back tothe customer. Anyone—for instance,a taxi-man—who obtains liquor foranother in this way is .acting as a"tout" for the racket.

The addresses of these "shops"soon become well known, but asmany of them refuse to sell directlyto anyone other than visiting ser-vicemen in uniform, or recognised"touts," it is a difficult and lengthyprocess to catch them "with thegoods." The police have to havedirect evidence of a sale before theycan raid the premises.

"Droppers" and Bootleg WhiskyMost of the bigger operators have

depots of liquor apart from the pre-mises where they do their selling.These are maintained so that, if thepolice should raid the premisesthey will find and can seize onlya portion of the "stock." In addition,if there is only a small quantity ofliquor on the premises it is moreeasy to use the excuse that it isthere for private consumption orthat "a party" is in progress.

One sly-grog shop, operators ofwhich have already been subject toprosecution, is known to have keptthe bulk of its supplies in a car onthe roadway outside. That is wherea hampering loophole in the law—the restrictive use of the word "pre-mises"—comes into the picture.

"Droppers" are men employed bysly-groggers to walk the streets,or to frequent places where service-men gather. They carry a certainnumber of bottles in their clothingor in a suitcase, and make their salesas they go along, returning to thedepot or the shop for further sup-plies as they sell out. Some of these"droppers" may operate in motorcars.

It is mostly these "droppers" whodeal in doctored liquor. They havebeen known to sell "whisky" thatturned out to be only wine, or some-thing coloured to look like whisky.Even black tea has been sold in thisway.

Some strange concoctions havebeen sold. A sample of the locally-made "whisky" was offered to theinquirer. Originally, he was told, ithad been almost colourless, but ithad been given the appearance ofwhisky by colouring with tea! Itwas most unpalatable stuff, but wassaid to have a powerful "kick."

Some such concoction as this, theinquirer was told, was also beingsold in labelled bottles which pur-ported to be a well known brand ofimported gin or whisky.

Sly-grogger Robs Sly-grogger!Complaints have been made that

some alleged wine that has beenpurchased has been heavily doctored•with vinegar—to give it "bite."Some was said to have been almoststraight vinegar.

One story, heard during the courseof inquiries and vouched for, showedhow this type of dishonesty waspractised even among the sly-grog-gers themselves. A woman en-gaged in the business had an orderfrom servicemen, for a large quantityof whisky. She arranged to pur-chase three cases from a sly-groggerin a bigger way of business—theprice for the three being £33 a case,a total of £99! When, she openedthe whisky cases that were suppliedshe found they contained a wellknown brand of bottled beer.

She had no redress without goingto the police, but had to purchasetwo cases more from another sup-plier, the price on this occasionbeing £78 for the two cases contain-ing 24 bottles.

Black Market PricesWhat are the black market prices?

At the present time beer is "sly-grogged" at 2/6 a quart, and wineat 12/6 a quart. Some wine saleshave been reported at 15/. Whiskyand gin vary in price according tothe quantity available. Gin salesare known at prices from £3 to ashigh as £4 10/ a bottle. Whisky isretailed at from £4 10/ to £5 a bottle,and there have been reports of salesat as high as £7 a bottle.

Recently in Court the police hadon display as "exhibits" severalcases of gin and whisky, 33 bottlesof gin and 36 of whisky. A "sly-grogger" is said to have put theblack market value of that at over£300.

At one place in the city, it isalleged, a mixture of apple juice andwine was sold at 4/ a glass.

To illustrate how profitable thisbusiness can be to its operators—

until they are caught and impris-oned—it was admitted by a sly-grogger that his biggest sale was1500 bottles of beer in one night. Hetold of another "shop" which sold700 bottles a night. The temptationsin a business of that size need nostressing—any more than does thequestion of supply.

The Supply QuestionThe v retail black market prices

are high, but the difference betweenthose and the legal wholesaleprices are not always entirely profitto the retailing sly-grogger. Somesly-groggers have revealed to inti-mates that they paid as high as £2

10/ and £3 a bottle for their suppliesof whisky and gin, the legal wholesale price being £1 and ,under.Mostly, they say, they buy theirbeer supplies at 21/9 a dozen, sellingit again at 30/.

Without direct evidence it is notpossible to delve far into the sourcesof supply for the sly-groggers. Somesources are known; others are sus-pected. The police are working onthese angles.

Those who sell liquor illegallyand without license are punishableunder the Licensing Act and itsamendments. Those who sell liquorat "black market" prices are punish-able also under the 1942 emergencyregulations concerning profiteeringand allied offences. Those regula-tions provide heavy penalties. Anindividual can be fined from £50 to£1000, and firms can be fined from£250 to £5000.

It; is claimed that the systemwhereby prosecutions under theseprofiteering regulations are broughtis too slow. When an inspector hascompleted his case, it is stated, theinformation is sent to Wellington,submitted to a solicitor employedby the Department, to the head ofthe Department, then to the CrownLaw Office, then back to the Depart-ment head, and then to the Ministerin charge. If the charge is not laidwithin six months of the committalof the offence it is too late for hear-ing.

If this is true, then the 'systemneeds to be short-circuited.

Many ProsecutionsThat the police are taking vigor-

ous action is evidenced in the factthat they have taken a large numberof cases before the Court in thepast three months. Sixteen con-victed sly-groggers have been sen-tenced to terms of imprisonment—mostly one month. Heavy fines have."been inflicted in a number of othercases. ,

Nevertheless it is' a serious andgrowing problem. Police, magis-trates and municipal authoritieshave expressed their grave concern,not only at the operations of theracket 'itself/ but also at dangersarising from it. .

,

To deal with it effectively thepolice need the assistance of furtherlegal powers; they need also the co-operation of anyone who can giveinformation of real value—informa-tion that will lead to convictions.The longer the sly-grog racket isallowed to operate the more seriouswill become its menace.

Reaping The Whirlwind

SERGEANT'S ENDN.Z. MAN'S HEROISM

TRIBUTE BY AMERICANThe gallantry of an unnamed New

Zealand sergeant when fatallywounded at El Alamein is related ina most striking manner by a memberof an American Field Service ambu-lance, William I. Riegelman, in aletter to his family. "It was (hewrote) the most unbelievable exhibi-tion of guts, presence of mind andcomplete selflessness I've ever en-countered or ever hope to see."

The letter was written on August4 last, and was recently-published inHarper's Magazine. Mr. Riegelmangives a long account of his experi-ences as a member of a unit attachedto the New Zealanders. One day liewas sheltering from a dive-bombingattack when two shells burst somehundreds of yards away. Soon after-wards h'e was notified that a manhad been hit. He found that therewere two men hit, one an officerwhose wound was not dangerous andthe other the sergeant, who had hisfoot completely blown away. He ap-plied a tourniquet and a dressing,and with the help of one of the ser-geant's mates lifted him into the am-bulance and set off for the regimen-tal aid post.

Directions to His Mates"All through it, however, the ser-

geant was trying to help me dressnot only his own horrible wound butthat of the officer. He showed mewhere the tourniquet should go (andwas right), he saw to it (by leaningforward) that I put the shell dress-ing on correctly (and was rightagain). Then after I had got himinto the ambulance he kept tellingme what to do for the officer (andwas right). After being satisfied thateverything was being done for theofficer he started dictating to hismates as to what he wanted donewith his sundry properties. Thiswas to be forwarded by him to a cer-tain 'sister'; that was to be given toJim; something else was to go toJack, and so on. It was incredible.Then I discovered that I wasn't ex-actly sure of my route—l had beentwisting about a lot and was afraidI might miss the R.A.P. The ser-geant interrupted his tirade aboutgetting it from a stray shell (that itwas such now appeared totell me to look around for a particu-lar burned-out tank—l told him Isaw it—and he directed me to takea line from there to a lorry whichI would see at the top of the hill, andthat if I bore slightly left of that I'dhit the R.A.P. He was right.

"His chief concern was for theofficer, who kept assuring him thathe was all right. Back at the RA.P.he kept up his directions to his men(who had followed us) as to the dis-position of his gear, and never for amoment showed the slightest sign ofanything but anger that he couldn'tlook forward to another crack atJerry. I'll never forget that man—nor will anyone else who knew him,I'm sure.

Death from Shock"When I returned from taking him

to the A.D.S., the medical officer saidto me that he was very much afraidthat the sergeant would die. Itseemed unbelievable to me, but hesaid that when the shock hit a manlike that there was little if anythingthat could be done. He was on theoperating table within an hour ofthe time he was hit, but the M.O.'sprophecy proved sound. Despiteeverything, that medical attentioncould do for him he died a few hourslater—not from loss of blcod parti-cularly (he was given three trans-fusions), not from internal disorders,but simply from the shock with itsdevastating effert on a man withhighly-tensed nerves. Had he beenthe kind who was inclined to let him-self go, had he been able to let hisnerve escape him for a bit, he wouldhave lived—but he wasn't that kindof man, and I can tell you I felt verybadly for several days. When a fel-low like that gets it you can't helpbut let it become personal; he wasn'tthe only man I picked up in whomI took a really personal interest, butI think his death affected me asmuch as anything else out here."

A Full ComplimentThe American also remarks that

during quiet periods he and his com-panions got to know the men withwhom they were working, andothers who were not in the MedicalCorps but whose duties 'kept them inthe vicinity. "A finer, more courage-ous, more gentlemanly group of mencan scarcely be imagined," he said."I'm completely sold on them aspeople, as fighters, as officers, asdoctors, as friends and allies. Oneday I'm going to visit their country."

THE UPPER HOUSE

To The EditorIt was the first plank in the Lab-

our party's policy to abolish theUpper House. This, together v?ithanother plank, to introduce propor-tional representation, was the prin-cipal reason why the writer was amember of the Labour party forabout 30 years. If we had a realLabour party in New Zealand nowI would join it, because 1 think 50years of hard work and a realisationthat "labour produces everything"would qualify me as a member. Buthow thev have let us down! What apity the'National party has not putout a bold policy, including the aboli-tion of the Upper House, propor-tional representation, a poor man'sland settlement scheme, and the re-moval of the muzzle from the radio(a muzzle put on by the very partythat promised to free it). lam satis-fied the New Zealand people justlove two things.

AUCKLAND SUBURBS L.R.C.

Will you kindly grant me theprivilege to comment upon the pub-lication of the report of the electionof officers at the Auckland SuburbsLabour Representation Committee'sannual meeting. At this meeting I,as secretary, read to the delegatesa copy of a letter dated March 7,1943, which was forwarded to thenational secretary "of the Labourparty. In this letter I tendered myresignation as secretary of the com-mittee and also as a member of theLabour party. Perhaps it would beto the benefit of all if I pointed outthat the president of the L.R.C. alsowithdrew his nomination and there-fore did not seek re-election. Inenlarging upon my reasons forresigning from the party I told thedelegates that I was dissatisfied withthe policy our present Labour Gov-ernment was pursuing, as was nodoubt realised by my attitude duringthe past two years. I was living inhopes that the members of the Gov-ernment would remedy their mis-takes $nd shortcomings, but insteadof improving they are getting furtheraway from the ideals of Labour. Theyhave become what I term politicalacrobats. I do not wish anyone ta.beunder any misapprehension thatbecause I have resigned from theLabour movement I am dissociat-ing myself from politics. I could notdo that, especially when one knowsthe treatment that is being metedout by the Government to personswho are recipients of the agebenefit. I assured the delegates thatI would continue to fight for theworkers and elderly people of thisDominion to try and bring about astate of economic security for all.The fight is now on, and, believe me,when'the election does take place,the political battle in this electorateis going to be a hard and tough one.

Thesedeputations have met with sympa-thetic hearings, and the matter hasbeen referred to the works com-mittee to deal with. Despite this, thetip remains, just as much a menaceas ever, compelling us to shut win-dows and doors, no matter how hotthe weather.

MR. COATES AND ISAIPARA

If your correspondent who urgesthe National party to oppose Mr.Coates in Kaipara wants to hand thatseat over to the Labour party, he isshowing one way to do it. However,perhaps he will answer this question:Does he think that the conduct ofNew Zealand's war effort has beenbetter than it would have been if Mr.Coates had not been a member ofthe War Cabinet? If he does thinkso, why is he trying to get rid ofhim? The question of the futurerelationship of the National party andMr. Coates is certainly important,but one may be pardoned for suggest-ing that a wrong decision by theparty will damage its election pros-pects more than it will damage thoseof Mr. Coates.

It is a waste of timeand money now, trying to beautifyLawson Park. Far too many thou-sands of pounds have been thrownaway at that corner. If the presentworks committee cannot attend toits job properly, the method is tomake a change.

SOLDIERS' PARCELS POSTAGE

Since the Sixth Reinforcements leftNew Zealand in the present war, Ihave been sending parcels regularlyto relations in the Middle East rightup to the present time, and of lateto relations in the Pacific as well.The cost of these parcels has beenheavy, to say nothing of the post-ages. No parcel has cost less than1/, and the majority of them havecost 2/ for postage. To my mind;this is a form of exploitation. Theseparcels should be sent overseas freeof cost. AN ANZAC.

DESPERATE DEFENCE

Fissians WithdrawingTo Donetz River Line

(New Zealand Press Association.—Copyright.—Rec. 1 p.m.) v

LONDON, March 1 5.An official Moscow announcement states that Kharkov has

1 n evacuated.I The victorious Russian drive in the central sector, where thefi Army's spearheads are pointing towards four key points; he defences of Smolensk, has been counter-balanced by grave: r s from the Ukraine. General Golikoff's troops, after fightingaerately against forces both numerically superior and employ-

: far greater weight of armour, have withdrawn from Kharkov.Despite the menace the Germans have thus raised in the

mquered portion of the Ukraine, Reuters Moscow corres-dent emphasises that the fighting along the whole front mustviewed in the right proportion. He says the German counter-nsive at Kharkov is far less important than the Russian;esses further north.

The added weight of the German offensive has been pro-id by the use of thousands of escaped troops from the neigh-rhood of Stalingrad, the Caucasus, the Kuban area and theletz Basin, who were reformed and re-equipped, and freshsions from the west. The Germans possess excellent rail

■ imunications to the rear, while the Russians* communicationsi tenuous, passing over recent battlefields where they have hadtime fully to organise them.

VICHY ULTIMATUM TOFREES GUERILLAS

LAKE GENEVA AREATroops Under Nazi Officers

To Quell PatriotsN.Z. Press Association.—Copyright

Rec. 1 p.m. LONDON, March 15.The mountainous Thonon district,

on the south shores of Lake Geneva,in Haute Savoie, France, wherepeasant holdings are packed betweenpatches of heavy forest, has becomethe focal point of French resistanceagainst the Germans and their Vichy-collaborators.

A Vichy ultimatum to the Thoronguerilla forces demanding their sur-render expires to-night, but sporadicfighting is already reported betweenthem and the Vichy Guarde Mobileunder German officers. Swiss reportsstate that intermittent firing washeard south of Lake Geneva.Another report states that the Ger-mans bombed the guerillas' moun-tain hide-outs, but three bomberswere shot down by the guerillas, whohave anti-aircraft guns and machine-guns.

The Zurich correspondent of theDaily Telegraph says that 1000guards have been drafted to Thonontown, whose normal population is8000. The Vichy command hasestablished headquarters at Evian,and is patrolling the whole neigh-bourhood with the object of cuttingoff the food supplies of the partisans,but this is unlikely to be effectivebecause the population sympathiseswith the partisans.

Guarde Mobile SympatheticMost reports agree that the Guarde

Mobile is also sympathetic. It isimpossible to foretell what willhappen if they are faced with theprospect of heavy fighting againsttheir own countrymen.

Partisan headquarters are in themountains near Charmonix, whencesecret radios and messengers areusing little-known mountain paths,sometimes openly cycling fromvillage to village to distributeinstructions.

Many went to Thonon from dis-tant parts of France in the hope ofentering Switzerland. When theyfound this was impossible theyjoined the guerillas. The newspaperLa Suisse says that the partisansare many thousands strong and arealways increasing. Allied planesnightly have dropped arms, muni-tions and food since March 8.

Algiers radio, broadcasting to theguerillas stated: "It won't be longnow. The hour of deliverance isat hand."

According to the Swiss newspaperNeue Zuercher Zeitung, the French-men in the Thonon district ofFrance fled there after refusing togo to Germany as workers.

Rec. 11. WASHINGTON, March 15.Many observers believe that the

circumstances surrounding the reso-lution to be submitted to the UnitedStates Senate to-morrow, committingCongress to international collabora-tion after the war, make it the mostimportant development in Americanforeign relations since the Japaneseattack on Pearl Harbour, says GlenPerry, writing in the New York Sun.

It is certain, he says, that theSenate resolution will precipitate apitched battle. Those who hold theinternational viewpoint do not mindthis prospect, believing that anyresolution which wouldbe acceptableto diehard isolationist leaders wouldbe too' anaemic to be of any prac-ticable value.

Cannot Stand AloofThe resolution, Mr. Perry adds,

will require a two-thirds majority toachieve its objective, and failure toobtain that majority would be amajor defeat for the International-

Satisfaction is expressed in thePress in Britain with the preciseimplications and general tenor ofGeneral Giraud's speech in Algiersdelivered the day after General deGaulle had issued his six-point planfor French unity.

The two statements, says TheTimes, with continued goodwill andreasonable luck, should have a help-ful influence in attempts to uniteall French patriots.

In a statement on General Giraud'sbroadcast, General de Gaulle saidto-day: "We note with satisfactionthat the declarations mark, in manyrespects, great progress toward the

doctrine of Fighting France as de-fined and upheld in June, 1940, andagain expressed in a memorandum tothe National Committee on February23. Countless testimonies, which havereached us from France, prove thatthis doctrine is passionately approvedby the immense majority of ouroppressed nation.

"The* National Committee nowhopes to see the declarations of Gen-eral Giraud speedily translated intoacts. In any case, I repeat what wehave often affirmed, namely, that weare ready to study on the spot, be-tween Frenchmen, ways and meansof an effective union of the Empireso imperiously demanded by theinterests of. France at war."

Rec. 10.30. NEW YORK, March 15.In his first official journey outside

Japan, General Tojo, the JapanesePrime Minister, visited Nanking andconferred with Wang Ching-wei,head of the Chinese puppet Govern-ment set up by the Japanese atNanking, on questions relative toJapan's New China policy. .

Tokyo radio says that Tojo alsoacquainted the Japanese authoritiesin China with the significance of theNew China policy.

The Associated Press correspon-dent at Chungking reports thatChinese newspapers, commenting on-Tojo's visit to Nanking, again appealto Britain and America to pay.greater attention to the Far Easterntheatre of war. The consensus ofopinion is that Tojo hopes to counter-act Allied strategy arising from theCasablanca conference, during thebreathing spell afforded the Japan-ese while Allied power is concen-trated against Hitler.

The China Times, published atChungking, while drawing attentionto the possibility of a Japaneseattack against Siberia, points out thatths Japanese might attempt a large-scale action against American airbases in China or a decisive navalengagement with the United Statesbattle fleet. If she attacks Siberia,Japan would require both troops andsupplies from the puppet territory.

The Ta Kung Pao, also publishedat Chungking, discounting an all-outattack against Chungking, said Japanrealises .that every ounce of strengthused in China is an ounce takenfrom his striking power againstBritain and America. The newspaperadded that Japan's depreciated navalstrength and the problem of dis-tance rule out the possibility of a de-cisive sea battle.

A message from Chungking was pub-lished in last night's Star as follows:—"Authoritative Chinese sources state thatJapan is relinquishing to the Nankingpuppet Government, within a few days,all special Japanese rights in China. Inreporting this, the United Press addsthat the announcement will be. part of a"propaganda campaign publicising Japan's'kindness' to Nanking.

WESTFIELD CALLSGIRL'S OBJECTIONSDIFFICULTY OF POSITIONTwo attractive, well-dressed girls,

one a dressmaker, the other a milli-ner, stood before the Industrial Man-power Committee this morning toplead their cases against directionsto report for work in the cannery atWestfield.

They heard the evidence of thedistrict manpower officer, Mr. C. G.S. Ellis, that a survey had shownthat their industry could stand theloss of staff; that 150 girls wereurgently necessary for the canneryon work of national importance; thatthey were considered suitable for thework.

They heard the evidence of aninterviewing and factory investigat-ing officer, Miss I. McLennan, thateverything possible was done at thecannery to make conditions aspleasant as possible for the girls;that conditions there were betterthan at a lot of other factories.

It was apparent that the appel-lants were not greatly impressed.

"I Won't Go!""I won't go to Westfield! I won't

go to Westfield!" cried one of themin a tone of excitement, Avhen beingtold that decision in her case was re-served. And, as she followed herdaughter from the committee room,the mother of this girl also ex-pressed herself with emphasis.

"Manpower or no manpower shewon't go to Westfield."

When the first of these cases wascalled, a member of the committee.Mr. W. J. Truscott, noted that thegirl was a qualified tradeswoman ofsix years' experience. Had the man-power office reached the point whereit was necessary to direct trades-women to Westfield, he asked.

'Mr. Ellis pointed out that therehad been considerable extension ofthe Westfield cannery, which wasengaged entirely on the canning ofrations for troops abroad. The man-power authorities had been asked tofind 150 additional girls for the work.

"It is a most difficult task to findsuitable girls for this work," he said."Locality has to be a factor, and thenwe have to consider where there willbe a lesser disruption of industry."

Clothing Industry SurveyRecently, he pointed out;, there had

been a,complete survey of the cloth-ing industry, which had 6000 opera-tives. The matter had been fully dis-cussed with the manpower utilisa-tion committee. It had been foundthat, owing to the textile positionand the position regarding hours ofwork, that industry could affordquite a proportion.

"The needs of Westfield are ex-tremely compelling," said Mr. Ellis,"and there will be a progressivelygreater need." The girls were origin-ally selected after a study of thesurvey in which employers hadgraded their employees according toefficiency and to the essentiality oftheir work. Few employees in theclothing industry were working morethan 40 hours, a week. . .'

Answering Mr. Truscott, Mr. Ellissaid there, was a personal interviewwith each girl to fee if she wasphysically capable of the work andto look into other aspects.

Side by side with the direction ofmachinists and other clothing work-ers to Westfield, he said, they weredirecting workers from less essentialwork in the industry to where therewas more essential work and a short-age of hands.. '

"There appears to be a generalprejudice against work at Westfield,"said Mr. J. L..Liddell, who presided.The committee, was perturbed aboutit. He did-not think there had beenone young lady before the com-mittee who had not protested, andprotested vigorously, against beingsent to Westfield. Yet more had tobe found for the. industry, and morewould have to be found in thefuture.

A Woman's OpinionAt: his - request Miss McLennan

was called.. : Z"Prior to my visit of inspection I

had the impression that Westfieldwas an appalling", place," she said.She had been surprised with whatshe had seen inside. The main can-ning room, where the meat wascooked arid prepared for canning,resembled a huge kitchen. Theodour, which was strong outsidedidn't permeate into this and theother rooms, to nearly the sameextent. In the packing room therewas no odour or unpleasantness.

Miss McLennan said that every-thing possible had"been done atWestfield to make conditions plea-sant for the girls. There was a bigcafeteria, locker rooms, arid hot andcold showers, so that the girls didn'ttake an atmosphere of their workaway with them, as they did at someother factories.

"It is not a job that; we would seekin normal times, we girls from shopsand offices," she said, "but it is notso terribly terrible as we wouldbelieve. The .outside is a long wayworse than the inside."

Asked regarding- the selection ofgirls for. the:Work, and her inter-"views with - them, Miss McLennansaid that there was considerabledifficulty.

"There are some types of girls whoare . suitable, and some who arequite unsuitable." she said. "Somegirls are unsuitable for kitchen workof any kind."

The following statement wasissued:—

"In declining the applications theauthority had regard to the fact thatthe present abnormal demand fortaxis is due, in the main, to the lackof requisite materials for all fueloperated transport, and this accord-ingly restricts the' taxi operators'ability to meet this abnormaldemand.

"The regulation of the taxi serviceis now in the hands of the TaXiControl Committee and, given thecomplete and loyal co-operation ofthe taxi drivers and the travellingpublic, the directions of the commit-tee will result in a better service.

"When taxis are efficiently organ-ised by the Taxi Control Committee,should there still be the necessityfor a further service to meet reason-ably-essential taxi work, then thefirst step is to restore the .petrolallowance to existing licensees."

WAR RISK INSURANCETHE PREMIUM OF 5/

REASONS FOR INTRODUCTION(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Monday.

An explanation of the Govern-ment's reasons for striking aninsurance rate of five shillings percent to cover war damage risks wasgiven to-day by the Minister ofAgriculture, Mr. Barclay, who waschairman of the Government com-mittee set up when the proposal wasoriginally considered.

When the proposed bill was firstunder review, the Minister ofFinance, Mr. Nash, had indicatedthat in all probability the rate wouldamount to approximately two shil-lings in £100. However, in theperiod following the passing of thebill and before the gazetting of regu-lations, Japan entered the war onDecember 7, 1941. Thus the wholecircumstances had completelychanged and the clamour from thepublic for some cover had becomevery urgent. It was also obviousthat the cost of risk had increasedenormously and the final rate of fiveshillings was struck.

Regulations were gazetted onDecember 19, 1941, and were warmlyreceived by the public, who were soeager to secure some protection andconsidered the rate so reasonablethat during the voluntary period upto February 28, 1942, between 650,000and 700,000 applications werereceived by the various insurancecompanies.

Mr. Barclay added that it wasinteresting to note that in Australiawar damage premiums, which werestill operative, were fixed at fourshillings per cent for buildings andeight shillings per cent for contents,in which category are includedmotor cars and stores.

RARE DISTINCTIONNEW ZEALAND CROSS

VALOUR IN MAORI WARS(0.C.) NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.

One of the 23 New Zealand Crossesawarded for deeds of valour duringthe Maori Wars is the property of theTaranaki Museum at New Plymouth.It is the Cross awarded to the lateCaptain F. J. Mace, formerly ofOakura, for conspicuous braverythroughout the war and notably forhis conduct at the Katikara River in1863 and at Warea.

The record of gallant deeds of bothMaori and European members of theforces during the wars of the 'sixtiesis inscribed in a Roll of the NewZealand Cross, of which there is onlyone copy. All 23 of the recipients ofthat award are now believed to bedead.

Captain Mace presented his crossto the Taranaki Museum in June,1927, and he died on August 7 of thesame year, at the age of 90. ThreeCrosses were awarded for deeds ofgallantry in this district. Two ofthem were performed by Maoris, atMoturoa. The first inscription in thebook 6f record is of the award of theCross to a Maori member of theArmed Constabulary at Moturoa.

Near to Victoria CrossThe . New Zealand Cross was

awarded at a time when the VictoriaCross was not awarded to membersof colonial forces and the conditionsof its award make it practically theequivalent of a Victoria Cross. Thescheme for its award was put intooperation by Order-in-Council inMarch, 1869, and the Queen gave herratification in December of the sameyear. The design of the Crosswas determined by a commissionappointed by the Governor at thetime, Sir George Bowen, andapproved by the Queen.

REORGANISED E.P.S.WHANGAREI PROBLEM

FRESH START SUGGESTED

(O.C. WHANGAREI, this day.Doubts as to whether Whangarei

would be able to supply the membersrequired of six front line units, asrequired under the revised E.P.S.regulations, were expressed at ameeting of the Central Committeelast night.

Major G. R. Hutchinson, chairmanof the personnel committee of theCivil Defence, Northern Region, saidthat in addition a mobile squadof approximately 90 strong was to beplaced under the control of districtwardens for use where reinforce-ments were required, with 30 hoursof training, to be spread over sixmonths or less. Whangarei wasregarded as one of the 25 most vul-nerable areas. To overcome per-sonnel shortages women might beco-opted, as at Dargaville, wherethere were 25 girl fire-fighters.

Speakers pointed out that Whanga-rei women were more occupied inwar work than those in any othercentre, and that unless wardenscould recall a percentage of the fitmen posted to the Home Guard thenumber required could not be filled.

The Mayor, Mr. W. Jones, said theonly course was for the Central Com-mittee to resign and build up a neworganisation. He could not see wherethe 900 personnel were obtainable.

GOODS SERVICESANCILLARY USERS

NEW LICENSING SCHEMEUnder regulations recently gaz-

etted certain ancillary servicesengaged in goods transport are beingbrought under the Transport Act,and the motor vehicles engaged willhave to be licensed. Referring tothis to-day the No. 1 LicensingAuthority, Mr. E. J. Phelan, said themain reason for the change was theconservation of tyres and benzineand the elimination of unnecessaryrunning. Approximately 2000 addi-tional vehicles in his area wouldhave t-o be licensed, including about600 in the Auckland metropolitandistrict.

"It is going to be a big job," saidMr. Phelan. "The first meeting ofthe authority in Auckland will beheld on Wednesday, March 24, andto hear all those who have appliedfor licenses will take continuous sit-tings for several weeks. It will beat least two months before the taskis completed for the whole of thetransport district. This means muchwork and a great deal of travelling.The authority will have to just about.double the number of licenses at"present held."

Mr. Phelan explained that for-merly ancillary users, except in cer-tain services paralleling the rail-ways, were not licensed. The newregulations did not bring all thevehicles under license, however,exemption being provided for inrespect to vehicles that did not ex-ceed two tons in weight includingtheir loads, vehicles owned by localand public bodies. Government de-partments, and vehicles used in thedelivery of milk, cream, meat, bread,groceries and laundry. Funeral fur-nishers would also be exempted.

Mr. Phelan said he had been toDargaville at therequest of the mem-ber for Kaipara, Mr. Gordon Coates,with the object of improving thetransport facilities between Darga-ville and Potu. After holding a ccpn-ferencerepresentative of local bodiesand interested parties, Mr. Phelansaid a goods service had beengranted, the operator having theright to carry passengers. A subsidyfor a mail service was now beingconsidered by the Postmaster-General. The Hobson County Councilwas also in negotiation with theGovernment for the construction ofan all-weather ro,ad. At the requestof Mr. Coates the authority hadauthorised a passenger road servicebetween Maungaturoto, Dargavilleand Kaihu, and this would be a greatconvenience to the district.

FRIENDLY PEOPLEIMPRESSIONS OF N.Z.

AMERICAN VISITOR'S VIEWS

"Auckland has a certain characterand distinction of its own," saidMai or Merrill Moore, an Americanphysician with the armed forces,when he spoke to members of theAuckland Rotary Club at Milne andChoyce's reception hall yesterday.The title of his address was "Impres-sions of New Zealand."

He said he considered that Auck-land had one of the most magnifi-cent harbours in the world. Thecountryside between Auckland andPukekohe brought memories ofMiddle Tennessee, or Lexington,Kentucky, in the blue grass region.

The visitor said that one of thethings in New Zealand, whichimpressed him. was the whole-hearted and genuine interest thatmost people showed concerning thepolitical well-being of the country,however varied individual opinionsmight be. The progress that amillion and a half of people hadmade in the country was impressive,and New Zealand looked a mucholder country.

Major Moore said that the medicalservice in New Zealand was unique,and socially progressive, and it wasan effort from which the UnitedStates could learn much.

The visitor commented upon thegeneral friendliness of the people,and said that, in general, NewZealanders were by nature outgivingand helpful. One sensed that, notmerely in the way that they openedtheir homes to outsiders, but by thecommon interest they shared ineach other. They admired andappreciated the kindness and toler-ance which had been shown to them,especially towards their sick andwounded soldiers, sailors andmarines.

SUPPLY OF MILKADEQUATE QUANTITY

In spite of the difficult conditionsdue to the abnormally dry season,which had lowered milk production,the public will be assured ofadequate supplies. An announce-ment to this effect was made by Mr.I. J. Goldstine, chairman, at a meet-ing of the Auckland MetropolitanMilk Council last night. The discus-sion was taken in committee.

Mr. Goldstine said that satisfactoryarrangements had been made forbringing in a quantity of milk fromcheese factories. The quality ofmilk being supplied was good.

Earlier in the meeting, Mr. A.A. Thompson, vendors' representa-tive, asked whether a return could betabled showing the number of milkproducers within a radius of 30 milesfrom Auckland, who were not ontown supply. Mr. C. J. Lovegrovesaid there must be hundreds, butadded, "You would not get the sup-plies unless you gave them a muchbetter price for their milk."

Mr. Goldstine said there were norecords available and suggested thatMr. .Thompson endeavour to secure•figures from the dairy companies.Mr. Thompson agreed, saying thatprobably some of the producerscould be persuaded to come on totown supply.

Two licenses for the sale of milkand cream in shops where ham-burgers and ,quick luncheons werebeing served were cancelled. It hadb£en agreed with the Health Etepart-ment that the sale of hamburgersusing" meat, onions and othermaterials, did not conform to theregulations concerning the sale ofmilk.

MILITARY DEFICITLIST OF DEFAULTERS

I ARMY BALANCE-SHEET(0.C.) WELLINGTON, this day.

The latest available return showsonly 235 military defaulters againstwhom prosecutions have been insti-tuted, but whose whereabouts havenot yet been traced by the civilpolice. This is considered to be asurprisingly small percentage in thetotal number of men called up forservice—the Minister of Defence tolda Christchurch East electorate audi-ence recently that 292,305 men hadbeen medically examined for thearmy. This 235 figure is known toinclude some merchant seamen whoare at sea, but for whom those re-sponsible omitted to lodge appeals.On the other hand, it will also in-clude that trifling minority whichhas "taken to the bush," a service-dodging stratagem not peculiar tothis war.

There has been, of course, an ap-preciable number of defaulters dealtwith by the civil authorities andcommitted to detention, but the armyis not concerned with these. Throughits records it aims to keep a fool-proof tally of every man who volun-teered or has been called up for ser-vice—where he is, whether in or outof the army, and, if he is not in,why not. In effect, it keeps a state-ment of its gross receipts in terms ofmanpower (the numbers balloted),and the expenditure (the disposal ofeach man's services).

The records system provides forready information as to the where-abouts of every man called up.

The process begins-with each bal-lot, when a record is prepared foreach man (the army number of aman is now the same as his ballotnumber), and this record is kept"live" and under periodic check tillthe man is posted to a unit. Withthe co-operation of the armed forcesappeal boards there is also a constantcheck on those whose service is de-ferred.

CAPTAIN'S DEATHON ACTIVE SERVICE

Reported killed on active servicewith an ambulance unit in theMiddleEast is Captain George MudieFoote, youngest son of Mrs. G. E.Foote, of Onehunga.

CONTROL OF TAXISWORK OF COMMITTEEEXTENSION OF POWERS

Extension of the powers, of;.taxi-cab control committees is providedin an amendment to the TransportControl Emergency Regulationsissued last June. The amendment,which is now in force, gives a com-mittee authority to prescribe theperiods during which any taxicabis to be available for the carriage ofpassengers, either generally or ofany special class or classes, subjectto the provisions of any award 'andthe conditions of any taxi license.A committee is authorised to pro?idefor a roster of taxicabs at' differenthours of the day and, for example,at the arrival of trains. ■ <■ fi

A committee may also require thatall or any orders for the carriage ofpassengers within the district-begiven or allocated in a specified *ayby telephone. This appears to:re-move any doubt concerning :theAuckland committee's authority todirect that hiring in the inner city-area. shall be by telephone only ®idto impose compulsory "clockingia."

OHINEMURI RACESBRITISH MINT IN FORM

ELLERSLIE ACTIVITIESThe Oliinemuri Cup candidate British

Mint was the star performer at Ellersliethis morning, the five-year-old son ofBritish King recording a smart sprint—the best of to-day's work—to somewhateasily defeat Watchett over six furlongsin 1.16 1-5.

British Mint has disappointed in recentrares, but there is nothing wrong withhis condition, and it is in his favour thathe has drawn the weaker division in theCup, which is to be run at Paeroa onSaturday. Training was done five feet outon the No- 1 grass, which was in first-class condition.

The Juvenile. Tiger Tan, which is inthe second division of the KarangahakeHandicap, galloped pleasingly over halfa mile in 48 4-os. He was accompaniedby Brome, and had a slight advantage atthe finish. i

Other gallops were:—Four furlongs.—Chat Money and Sir

Dink, 50s; Sharwyn, 52 4-ss; Kronos, 533-05.

Five furlongs.—Elect and First GoldMoney, 1.4; Yes Tor and Goldina, 1.5 3-5.

Six furlongs.—British Talent, 1.21 1-5.Seven furlongs.—Volifox 1.30, last four

in 50s.

OX THE IMPROVEThe latest track doings of Elect Indi-

cate that the half-brother to Phaleron ison the improve. He has been paid upfor in the St. Patrick's Handicap at theOliinemuri meeting, but he will need toshape better than he did at the springmeetings in order to win. However, itwas at this period last season that Electshowed his best form, and history inayrepeat itself.

FAILED TO WINSo far. Clinch has failed to earn a

winning bracket since he has been locatedat Te Rapa, despite the fact that trackconditions have been favourable. AtPaeroa next Saturday Clinch will contestthe Ohinemuri Cup, and as he has pre-viously won on the country coursc heshould be hard to beat with the lightimpost of 7.5.

A SPEEDY FII/LYTe Hinemoa, which scored in very

decisive style in the Bombay Plate at TeRapa last week, is down to contest theKomata Handicap at the Ohinemuri meet-ing. In that event she will be meetingmuch stronger opposition, but thedaughter of Mr. Standfast and Prodice isvery speedy, and her prospects cannot beoverlooked at Paeroa.

FINE DOUBLE BY W. M. WINTER

(0.C.) WHANGAREI, Monday.Unless the Whangarei Cricket Associa-

tion decides to match the four leadingteams in semi-finals and finals, as is pro-posed, Artillery are virtually certain ofthe championship. After Saturday's playin senior "grade points were: Artillery 1(5,Defence 12, Air Force 9, Mounted Kifles6, Albion, A.S.C. and Waikatos 4 each andAuckland Regiment 2.

Gordon Butler, the Ponsonby-Balmoral player,gave another polished batting display for Artil-lery on Saturday, defying the A.S.C. attack fortwo hours while compiling an undefeated 80.Starting steadily, he did not. open up until joinedby R. N. Procter with the score oi 65 for six.With Proctor using the long handle effectively,the pair put on 88 in quick time. Proctor hada couple of lives, but Butler never looked likegoing out. His scoring shots on the on sidewere particularly good. Artillery batted out thefull time allowed for the loss of seven wickets.

Of the A.S.C. batsmen, E. R. Kelsey, whosedefence was good, alone was not at sea to Par-tridge. four of whose ten overs were maidens.

Two teams near the top of the tree met atOnerahi, where, thanks to the outstanding all-round play of Sergeant W. M. Winter. Defencegained an outright win over Air Force. With tnebat, the former University sepior did not makea mistake from the time he piloted the inningsuntil he was caught at deep leg, having made 66.Seventh out, he did not open his shoulders untiltowards the end of his innings. As a bowler, hefinished the day with 10 wickets at a cost of73 runs. Jack Alexander performed the hat trickin the first innings of Air Force.were:—
