"TALKING BOOK"

RECOURSE FOR A LECTURE(From "'The Post's" Representative.)

LONDON, February 9.When Sir Harold Gillies, the emin-

ent New Zealand plastic surgeon, lec-tures this week to the BerlinMedical Society, he will be as-sisted by the blind man's "tailsing book." Sir' Harold, who is t»speak on "Plastic Surgery in Eng»land," has learned his opening speechby heart and will deliver it in Ger»man, but the greater part of the lee«ture will be given 'by another voice.

A German-speaking surgeon hastranslated the lecture and recordedit on one of the "talking books" re-cently'perfected by the National. In-stitute Tor the Blind. Only one re-cord is needed for about an hour'stalk. Sir Harold is taking a specialmachine with him which will enablehim to stop the talk temporarily ifanything goes wrong with the' show-ing of his films or lantern slides.

The "talking book" was the idea ofSir lan Fraser, blind ex-M.P. andchairman of St. Dunstan's. It is agreat boon to blind people, especiallythose who cannot learn to read Brailleeasily or whose sense of touch. hasbeen made too coarse by manuallabour.

About a dozen records go to awhole, book. The National Institutefor the Blind - distributes a largelibrary free, to blind persons. Thescheme was made possible by LordNuffield's gift of £5000 a year forseven years.

Might-Lieutenant R. J. C. Nedwill(Christchurch), who has been attachedto 25 (F) Squadron, Royal Air Force,Hawkinge, Kent, has been selected fora non-specialist permanent commission.Hereceived the appointment as aresultof examinations held in Novemberamong officers holding shoft-servicecommissions.

ful discovery, and regarded in NewZealand as the country's finest juvenilesinger, June Barson, of Auckland, isappearing at the St. James Theatre atboth matinee and evening perform-ances.

There-after the film is full of swift-movingand laughter-provoking incidents.

KING'S THEATRE.So phenomenal has been the successof "The Hurricane" that it is not atall surprising that the management

DEVOTION TO MARY

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)AUCKLAND, March 5.

After a stormy night the weathercleared this morning for the big open-air Mass for women at the WesternSprings Stadium, and again there wasan attendance of thousands to takepart in the scenes of spectacle anddevotion.. Associated with the Masswas a gathering of Children of Mary,many hundreds of women in bluefrocks and white veils of the sodalityforming a big square in front of thealtar.

The Mass was celebrated by Arch-bishop Simmonds, of Hobart, arid aneloquent address Was delivered by theVery Rev. Dr. A. ,H. Ryan, Professorof Philosophy,. Queen's University,Belfast.

Taking as his text "Whatsoever Heshall say to you, do ye," • Dr. Ryanstressed' the • place of the VirginMary in •Roman Catholic devotion. Itwas alleged, he said, that RomanCatholics gave her too much honour,thus forgetting the Divine Son, andthat Roman Catholics adored her,and through Mandatory, as theycalled it, the Church had destroyedthe pure monotheism of Christianity.Such charges were due to ignoranceor calumny. The teaching of theChurch was for God alone. Mary wasalways a creature and never Divine.In honouring her above all creatures,however, the Church merely followedthe example of God Himself. Thosewho began by separating Mary fromJesus ended by forgetting both.

Dr. Ryan urged the congregation 10mould ' themselves on the life ofMary in accordance with her wordsquoted in the text. All were calledupon as she was to submit them-selves to God's will—in the duties ofthe State in . life, in relations withneighbours, in health and sickness,in poverty and riches, and in ioy andsorrow.

Above all, Mary should be madethe model of purity. That was thegreatest bulwark against modern at-tacks on Christian morality. Thosewho succumbed to the new ideaswould be the first to pay the price.Their lot would be the degradationof ancient paganism from whichChristianity had rescued them.

The fifty-fifth annual assembly ofthe Congregational Union of NewZealand will be held at Auckland fromMarch 11 to March 17. A full pro-gramme of meetings has been ar-ranged, as well as a series of socialfunctions.

QUEEN VICTORIA

PHASES IN HER LIFE

FASHIONED INTO A PLAY

Ah tivcry ihcnlrlcnl managementknows a banned piny la a "good" play."Vlclorln IXty'ltiu," by Laurence Houa-innn, woe one Huch play, banned—atuny rnto for public performance—bythe Lord Chamberlain, Not becauseIt wna n naughty piny or one likelyto hlvd olteiice to a foreign nation, butbocouso It related to doings of theKrundpnretits and parents of the relgn-inj! Sovereign. But It was performedin private In London. However, Ed-ward Vill, while he was yet King,overruled the Lord Chamberlain and?(; "Victoria Rcglna" came to be per-formed In the open in the UnitedKingdom and lastly at the WellingtonOpero House- on Saturday night. Thereit gave unqualified delight to a quitefull theatre. Like some other of theplays of Laurence Housman, "VictoriaRegina" may have seemed to some whosnv. it then as more suitable for read-ing than as a stage play "for universalexhibition." In film parlance. It Isa series ol biographical, vignettes,mainly authentic, of Queen Victoriafrom her Accession to the attainmentof he; Diamond Jubilee in 1897, and ofAlbert, Prince Consort, from his ac-ceptance by the Queen as her suitortill his death in 1861. These episodes,sketches from life, call them what onemay, have been forged and linkedtogether by a master craftsman inwork of the kind. Of these links tenw4ere selected for the play, as perform-ed by a distinguished company headedby Miss Fay Compton, who assumedthe role of the Queen, and Mr. BrunoBarnabe. who represented Prince Al-bert.

More than ordinary interest attachedto the production of this play—not be-cause its performance in public hadbeen forbidden, but, among other rea-sons, because it challenged comparisonby those who well remember QueenVictoria, even as she appeared in 1887,between the original and as she wasportrayed by Miss Compton.

Actually whenever and whereverthe Queen appeared in public she al-ways inspired in those who saw herawe and reverence, respect, andeven affection—a feeling difficult todefine, impossible to describe, yetshared in by all classes of people.When she was cheered the cheers weregenuine expressions of public feeling.There would be an unforgettable hushalong the route by which she wouldpass, banners and flags fluttering over-head, the cleared streets fringed withlines of military and densely-backedpeople behind them. As she drewnear, expectation was expressed firstin whispers, then in louder and loudertones and a mighty crescendo of voicesswelled as she passed with all the pag-eantry appertaining to her—blare oftrumpets, mounted Life Guards in glit-itering helmets and cuirasses; and, afterall, what was there to be seen? Astout, short, white-haired old ladywearing a bonnet, and black silk andlace, bowing gracefully and graciouslyfrom left to right, a look of naturalhauteur blent with pleasure in herface—and so she passed.

Again she passed, but in bodily formonly and on her way to Windsor forthe last time, passed to the strains ofChopin's "Funeral March." Behindher rode in slow and solemn proces-sion her son, Edward VII, and hergrandson Wilhelm 11, both in fullmilitary uniform, draped in long blackcloaks. It was on a cold, gray dayand the air was very still. Still, too,were the black crowds of thousandsand thousands who watched in abso-lute silence that passing not only of"Victoria Regina" but "et Imperatrix."They felt a something, they, knew notwhat, as if facing a future that wasdark, losing their former : sense ofstability, realising not only that a longreign but a great era had .come to anend. Readers of Galsworthy's"Forsyte Saga" will know how he feltthen, as others felt with him.

It has been the fashion to ridiculeconventions, manners, ideas, and idealsdescribed as "Victorian," but that hasbeen done for the most part only bythose who could have had no personalknowledge of them, being then un-born.

Miss Compton, superb actress as sheis, perfect in enunciation, use of ges-ture and facial expression, and master-ly in her make-up, showed first Vic-toria rather than Regina, a woman aswell as a Queen, with foibles, jealous-ies, and, in short, at times a ratherdespotic and difficult person to dealwith, but essentially human and al-ways great. When, in the "course ofthe play, the Regina aspect called foremphasis Miss Comptan was ready andtruly impressive in her portrayals. Herswas a mighty part to play—girl, lover,wife, widow, monarch, statesman all in

one, and the embodiment .of-a stand*jirrj of morality and manners whichnuiy Buem strange and stuffy today,when vulgar ostentation may passalmost as a virtue.

Misß Compton and her associates onSaturday deeply impressed the audi-e/ico; not only with the play itself, butby their performance of it. Therewas nn honest ring about the applause,expressing the release of pent-up emo-tion. This was especially so in thelast scone of all, showing thepoor aid lady, the consecratedQueen and Empress, in the hourof her greatest triumph, frail inbody, but, still Queen in her soul, andbearing herself as Sovereign en-throned in the hearts of her peopleeverywhere and of every class. Tomake Queen Victoria a living, humanperson, from a girl to her old age; toshow her in her moments of deep sor-row and great joy;to revealher (as shewas) a woman with an abhorrence ofhumbug and with a short way of get-ting to a point and understanding it;to show her as growing in queenly dig-nity and (rightly) exerting her author-ity to its constitutional limit; to do allthis, and, much more, and make it allseem real, was a stupendous task, butit was accomplished by Miss Comptonwith apparent ease and certainly withdistinction. ' 'Mr. Barnabe was equally successfulas the Prince Consort. The Princein real life had an exceedingly difficultposition to fill and hold. He was•cruelly misunderstood. Time andresearch into official and private re-cords have fully vindicated him andshown him to be the upright, wise,and sterling gentleman he was. Soth^ character of Prince Albert .waspresented by Mr. Barnabe, with noth-ing he did overdone, nothing he oughtto have done left undone; he madehimself complementary rather thansubordinate to Miss Compton. As >.ohis make-up, those familiar .with thework of the Court painter Winter-halter may question whether PrinceAlbert had his hair crimped. Thesame painter was obviously the author-ity for the dressing and make-up ofMiss Compton as the Queen m theperiod 1846. when she had.a tiff withthe Prince and his honesty and tactwon.

The lesser characters in the Play. orseries of little plays, who called forparticular mention were Lord Beacpns-fielri played with ability and evidentknowledge of the character by Mr.Stafford Billiard, who was also emin-ently successful in the first scene^asthe Archbishop of Canterbury. Withhim was Mr. Guy Hastings, admirableas Lord' Conyngham in this scene.Miss Hayle Bell as Lady Jane wasexcellent. Miss Ann Codrington, ap-pearing first as the Duchess of Suth-erland (period 1846) and then as thePrincess of Wales (1897), graced rela-tively small parts. A delightful por-

trait of the Duchess of Kent who hadto be reminded of the distinctionbetween Queen Mother and the -Queen's mother, was given by .MissMary Charles. Mr. Michael Wildingfully justified his choice as PrinceErnst/brother of Prince Albrecht whobecame the Prince. Consort—his .wasa short scene, but remarkably welldone. Mr. Jack McNaughton; hadlittle to do but did it competently, asMr. Anson, a secretary. . . .

The scenes selected tor this play

were at times highly dramatic Theannouncement of the Accession, forexample, with its suggestion of early

amDle of the art of the stage archi-X I patater. Buckingham Palaceat various periods was an effectivesetting for the final tableau, the QueenInd members of the Royal Family onthe return from showing hersetttoher loyal subjects at the-;DiamondTubilee—a great scene worthy, of; care-ful uVyand detailed description.^

CHURCH CENTENARYFINAL CELEBRATION

PROCESSION OF FAITHFUL

IMPRESSIVE SIGHT, ißy leleHraplJ—Press Association.)

AUCKLAND, March 6.Perhaps the most inspiring religious

demonstration ever presented in Auck-land was the procession this after-noon of 11,000 members of the Roman i

■Catholic societies and schools invaried and picturesque regalia in thefinal celebration of the Roman Catho-lic centenary. Arrayed in ranksinarching four abreast, the movingpageant took one hour and a quarterto pass the dais in Upper SymondsStreet on which the Right Rev. Dr.Liston and assistant clergy attendedthe Blessed Sacrament. The route leddown Upper Symonds Street andacross Grafton Bridge to the domain,where a huge white cross and altarhad been erected for the final cere-mony oft the Benediction of theBlessed Sacrament.

Commencing at 2.30 p.m., the pro-cession finished and the componentbodies were in position before thealtar at 4.30 p.m. A deacon in a dal-matic, of white and gold, and bearinga large crucifix which shone bril-liantly' in the afternoon sun, led themarch. Behind him came 2000 girlsfrom the Roman Catholic schools, inwhite dresses and gold sashes, andbearing small flags also in white andgold of, the Papal colours. At inter-,vals, fluttering picturesquely in thewind, were large white and gold ban-ners bearing religious emblems, youngwomen and girls wearing the strikingregalia of a blue cloak and followedby 1000 boys in white with bluesashes, the colours of the BlessedVirgin Mary. The next unit was com-posed of some 2000 Children of Mary,white veil. Members of this unitcame^ from many parts of New Zea-land and were arranged in sectionsaccording to their district, each sec-tion being preceded by its elaboratebanner in white and blue, bearing alarge picture of the. Virgin Mary. Incontrastwith these^ was the next groupof young women wearing white dressesand scarlet cloaks, whose banner inred and gold showed that they were aspecial guard of the Blessed Sacra-ment. : ■ ■;'

Union Jacks and a large >variety oftroop flags heralded the approach ofsome 800 Girl Guides, Cubs, and BoyScouts. One of the most impressiveunits in the procession were the menof the Holy Name Society, whose ban-ners bore symbols of their specialpledges of loyalty to their Church andtheir country.

MAORIS AND YUGOSLAVS.Some 4000 men of all walks of life,

singing the inspiring hymn, "HolyGod, We Praise Thy Name," marchedside by side in a striking demonstra-tion of faith..

No group was more picturesque than,the Yugoslav girls in flowing whitedresses,' scarlet vests and caps, andblue sashes, bearing white crosses.These were followed by a large groupof Yugoslav men. Then . came anotable groupofRoman Catholic Maorimenand womenin full Native costumeand bearing a historic flag; The mostelaborate banner in the processionwas the green and gold symbol of theHibernians, who wore the special re-galia,of their society. «.A vivid reminder of Roman Catholic

loyalty in the Great War was themarching of some 400 returned soldierswho held the position of special hon-our in the procession, just in front oXthe religious and priests in soutan andwhite surplice. Immediately beforethe Blessed Sacrament a very prettygroup of flower girls and pages in whitesatin, curtseyed at the tinkling ofbells to spread flower petals before theapproaching canopy containing theMonstrance in which the Sacred Hostwas carried by Bishop Liston clad in acope of white and gold. Around thecanopy six candle bearers in largescarlet cloaks formed a special guardof honour. After the canopy followedthe Most. Rev. T. O'Shea, RomanCatholic Archbishop of Wellington andMetropolitan of New Zealand, accom-panied by other archbishops and 'bishops wearing the striking cerise ofthe episcopal robes. Boys of the ■Sacred Heart College brought up the frear oE the procession. '•Thousands of people gathered in the JDomain, where a temporary altar stood '•on'a large platform at the foot of a 1great white cross niore than 30ft in 1height. A scarlet curtain stretching £on either side of the cross and a deep icrimson cloth covering the steps of .the Sanctuary made brilliant patchesof colour against the greenbackground.It would have been hard to imagine amore beautiful setting for the greatreligious ceremony. For more thanan hour a large choir of nuns, occupy-ing nearly all the seats in the grand-stand, maintained the devotional atmo-sphere by singing hymns under thedirection of Professor Moor-Karoly,choirmaster of St. Patrick's Cathedral,and the music was amplified by loud-speakers across the ground.

RESTRAINT SHOWN.The growing crowd, which included

thousands of non-Roman Catholics, be-haved with restraint proper to the .occasion. Eventually, banners movingdown the drive showed that the pro-cession was drawing near. Soon thecross-bearer and his attendants ap-peared at the northern entrance of theground, heading a long column ofschool girls in white dresses and veils.The line.slowly made its way to a spacebefore the grandstand, turned andadvanced in the direction of the altar.By dividing to the right and left, theprocession formed into a series of long,single ranks across an enclosed spacewith a wide centre aisle.

Nearly two hours- after the proces-sion had started onits way, the BlessedSacrament,' reverently escorted by pre-lates, priests, and laymen, was borneacross the ground while the vast con-course of spectators stood or knelt. Itwas carried through the centre ofthousands in the arena and the goldMonstrance was placed upon the altarby Bishop Liston, while trumpetssounded a fanfare and the Papal andNew Zealand flags were hoisted on'either side. ■ '■'>■'After a hymn, the Most Rev. NormanGilroy, Coadjutor Archbishop.of Syd-ney, ascended the pulpit and conducted *Eucharistic devotions, the people mak-ing the responses in unison.

The preacher, the Very Rev. OwenF. Dudley, Superior of the Roman'Catholic Missionary Society, London,was clearly heard all over the ground.He spoke on the Roman CatholicChurch and its four marks of unity,holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity.These, he said, were her credentials.Roman Catholics, were one in belief.Father Dudley reminded Roman Catho-lics of their obligations as members ofthe Church and .earnestly appealed tonon-Roman Catholics who had heardthe Church's witness during centenaryto pray for light and grace to do. whatChrist would have (hem do. return tothe one true fold. |

Solemn Pontifical-Benediction wasthen ,given .by Bishop ■ Liston. and atUic climax of the rite, as the Host was■•fused, the silence was broken only bythe threefold chiming of the altar bell.The service over, the Blessed Sacra-

FRANCISCAN ORDER

FOUNDATION-STONEUNVEILED

(By TeJegraplj—.PressAUCKLAND, March C.

Joy at the return to New Zealand ofone of the oldest and most belovedRoman Catholic religious orderswas expressed by ..prelates speak-ing on Saturday at the un-veiling oi the foundation-stoneof the Franciscan monastery' and re-treat house which is to be erected Inmagnificent grounds at Hillsborough.It was intended that the ApostolicDelegate, the Most Rev. J. Panico,should perform the ceremony, but be-cause of his indisposition he was un-able to attend. However, hehad pre-viously blessed the stone and the un-veiling was performed by BishopListon, Auckland. !

"The Franciscan fathers have alreadymany friends in the city and Diocese;"Bishop Liston said. "And they willgather many more about them withthe coming of the years. In this cere-mony I feel that the first bishop ofAuckland is with us in spirit, for hebrought the Franciscan fathers toAuckland in the sixties and they, re-mained In the diocese for some tenyears. They left an honourablerecord of service for God and the soulbehind them-, and they are remember-ed by some of the older generationwith very real affection."

The fathers were returning to the|scene of their former labours, hisLordship continued, to undertakespecial work. Their home would bethe monastery and retreat house, thefoundation-stone of which they werenow unveiling, and it would thereforebe a place of prayer for all, the centre!for mission work and a retreat housefor laymen. They felt quite sure thatit would.be opened to the laity withina few months. .

The Archbishop of Brisbane, theMost Rev. Dr. J. Duhig, said thename of the Franciscans had beenwritten across Europe, America, andmany other continents and islands.'

The Archbishop of Wellington, theMost Rev. Dr. T. O'Shea, said it washoped that the fitting;of men to taketheir part as lay apostles would beone of the successes of the Franciscanwork. o

The success of the Franciscan re-treats conducted in the Melbourne-arch-diocese was described by theArchbishop of Melbourne, the MostRev. Dr. D.. Mannix, and FatherDidelis Griffin, who arrived in Auck-land last week to be trie first superiorof the bouse. j

It was mentioned that the retreatswould be open to both Roman Catho-^lies and non-Roman Catholics.'

CHRISTCHURCH TRAMS

(By Telegraph—Press. Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, March 5.Though a deficiency of £19,000 was

rated for, the debit at the end of Janu-ary last was only £18,012, said Mr.George Manning at a meeting of theChristchurch Tramway Board thismorning. This was £988 to the good,but the position was likely to be moredifficult in the remaining two monthsof the financial, year because of in-crp-'sed costs incurred by the board.

MIRAMAR CLUB

In its annual report, to be present-ed at the annual meeting tonight, thecommittee of the Miramar District

Rugby Club states that the marked" improvement in all the club's activi-

ties was attributable; to "the continu-ed improvement in economic cpndi- Jtions and to the enthusiastic supportof residents which is .now becoming■ more evident." All six teams fieldedin the Wellington Rugby Union cham-pionships performed well, and thereport makes special mention of theperformance of the third grade team,which won the championship of itssection, and of the fine showing by thesixth grade team, which was awardedthe Miramar District Rugby Shield.

' The thirjd grade team was Awardedthe Tutt Cup, and it also became theholder of the Kempton Shield. TheJames trophy was won by I. Stringerand the, S. Luke medal by G. Avenell.

The club'sthree teams are congratulated in thereport upon their showing, referencebeing made to the "sporty" manner inwhich they accepted defeat or victory.

N.Z. SURFERS

RETURN FROM AUSTRALIA

"We can practically hold our own inrescue and resuscitation events, and inbelt matches, but when it comes tostraight-out surf races where one hasto take advantage of the incomingsurf our men lacked experience com-pared with the New South Wales com-petitors," said Mr. H. S. Feast, ofChristchurch, manager of the New Zea-land life-saving team which returnedtoday from Sydney Dy the Awatca,after having • competed in life-savingevents at the sesquicentenary celebra-tions.

Mr. Feast said that the greatest diffi-culty the New Zealanders experiencedwas in having to relcarn their drill.The Australian drill differed consider-ably from the New Zealand drill, andit was not possible to learn the drillproperly from a handbook. • In manydetails there were differences, and thetime that otherwise would have beentaken.in perfecting the team's workhad to be devoted to learning newdrill. They received great help fromthe Australian officials, who allocatedinstructors to the New Zealand team.

Mr. Feast said that the questionwhether the New Zealand drill wouldbe brought into conformity with theAustralian was a matter for the NewZealand Life-saving Council. He wouldmake areport on the matter.

The"surf-boat races provided a thrill.Surf skis were-popular, as were also"surfoplanes." Skis were propelledby paddles, and rode the surf at aterrific speed. They proved valuablein effecting rescues when surfers werewashed out to sea by three largebreakers at Bondi recently. The"surfoplane" was an inflated floatmade of rubber, and was propelled bypaddles. NThe New Zealand team finished sec-ond in the invitationrescue and resus-citation event at Bondi, third in theaggregate in the inter-State and inter-Dominion carnival at Manly, and gain-ed third in the, march past. It securedthird place in the teams' surf race, andsecond in the beltman's championship.!All the Australian States, except Vie- jtoria competed. ■ .

KREISLER ON MUSIC

IN WORLD OF TODAY

I■ ~ \]■■ Fritz.

He went on to speak of other con-certo's 'and. Jn'entioned that. his reper-tory, includes those by Sibelius andjrokoflev. ••'■,'" '■ ;■ ' •.;■•-.. --■ "I have seen Schumann's post-humous concerto," he added, "but: Iagree with Joachim that it is kfn'defto the .composer not to perform itEven at "his best "Schumann did notwrite ,well for strings, and. here he iscertainly below his best."■I Discussing the position of music inthe modern-world,; Mr. Kreisler said|hat it was no longer an essential partpf-life;".no longer,, like religion orphilosophy,- something to which wec>uld .turn naturally for c"omfor't and'support.. It was too often a mere"eom-modity,;i .thrust uponV.us in- association

or dancing or even as anadvertisement for somebody's wares.-.

'I "The private practice of music has■also1 declined. When I was a boyChamber music was practised regularlyjm 800-- or '9OoMiomes \in Vienna. My.father,-who was a doctor,ran a quartet

of himself, the chief of-the'fire brigade, a neighbouring chemist,'knd a -friend wno was abarrister. "W.--IIfIi<iS;:iY^XHEuEAMIIjX. .

M*£"Si'eTsler pointed out that thosepeople who_dQ. keep up. the practiceof music confine themselves principallyto the classics, on account of the for-bidding difficulty of modern works.For the same reason only the great

* names will draw the public to concerthalls.

"People dislike modern music be-cause they cannot understand its tech-nique," he said. "There is a dangerof music's becoming something madeby professionals for professionals, anabstruse exercise like chess.

"There is a tendency today to cul-tivate technique to the exclusion ofemotion. The tail wags the dog, thesumptuous cloak has no body insideit It is the same with performers.Presently efficiency is almost fright-eningv»;;> Pupils reach the standardachieved by _ virtuosos of the pastgeneration. * • \ ;

"England;" he added, "is not moremusical thgn.Qther.countries, but it ismore conservative, and so keeps upsome of the old traditions. I doubt ifit would be possible in any other coun-try to get people to attend a completeseries of Beethoven's quartets."

ALLIES OF FRANCE

RESULTS OF DELBOS TOUR

■ M. Yvon Delbos, the French ForeignMinister, ended a nineteen-day tour ofFrance's Central European allies witha suitcase full of promises, says the"Chicago Tribune."

When he returned to Paris after vis-itingPoland, Rumania, Yugoslavia, andCzechoslovakia, after making thirtyspeeches, attending twenty-four ban-

- quets, and travelling 6000 weary miles,he brought two conclusions:

1. Franco-German rapprochement isthe key to Europe's peace.

2. Closer economic relations and. better everyday «political relations be-tween the four countries and Germanycannot wait any longer on their politi-cal agreements with France.

In brief, M..pelbos's series of talksshowed that w&ile "France's allies in-"tegrally maintain'their alliances,; they. are- looking 'for commercial under-standings with Germany as a practicalnecessity of life—and if either obliga- jtlon is to give way it will be. the al-Jliances. /' 'j

Basing his trip on a detailed conver-sation between the heads of thevßri-.tish and. French Governments, :M.Delbos sought to bring Poland and thethree little Entente nations into anew European collective securitysystem.

ROYAL AIR FORGE

THE LATEST MACHINES

CONVINCING PROOF OF SPEED

(From "The Post's' Representative.)LONDON, February. 12.

Convincing proof of the speed of thenew fighters ordered for the; RoyalAir Force. was given on February 10,whena Hawker Hurricane fighter flew327 miles from the Turnhouse Aero-drome, Edinburgh, to the Northold 'Aerodrome at an average speed of408.75 miles an hour. This' means thatthe journey from Edinburgh to Lonrdon was made in the amazing time of48 minutes. ,It is the first time a land aeroplane

has flown at more than 400 miles anhour, and probably the first instanceon which one has even exceeded 300miles an hour in darkness. The pre-sent. record for a land machine is379.1.7 miles an hour, achieved by Cap-tain Wurster, chief pilot of the Bava-rian Aviation Works, in a new modelMesserschmidt aeroplane at Munichon November 11. The highest speed fora seaplane is 440.67 miles ah hour, setup by Warrant-Officer Agello, of theItalian Air Force, in 1934.

The flight will not count as a recordbecause for such purposes a machinemust make four flights, two in each,direction, over a measured course ofthree kilometres. Although the Haw-ker Hurricane was helped' by a windof 50 miles an hour wh/ch was blowingpartly in ,its favour, its speed was re-duced by a climb of 17,000 feet, which, "of course, is not included in a recordattempt. ,

The pilot was Squadron-Leader J. W.Gillan, of No. 11l (Fighter) Squadron, ,and his flight was all the more remark-able in that it was made under ordin-ary service conditions, with full mili-tary equipment, and was carried; outentirely in darkness. The pilot wasguided only by his blind-flying instru-ments, and at one stage flew for 50miles through a thick bank of fog.At times the windows of the cabin,were completely frozen over, and onlyEdinburgh, Newcastle, and Bedfordwere seen by the pilot throughout theflight. When he discerned Bedford hewas dead on his course. 'ENGINE NOT FUIX OUT.

An official of the Air Ministry- saidthat the engine of the aeroplane wasnot running full out,, and there wasplenty of reserve, in hand. The pilotwas carrying out service,tests, and theflight was entirely unrehearsed., "Any man in my squadron .wouldhave done it if he had had the chance.It was justa matter of ill luck to-therest of the pilots that they were hotfree to make the flight today," Squad-ron-Leader Gillan said, afterwards.

It became known earlier in the day 'that three weeks ago a formation ofthree: of the new machines flew overthe same route in about an hour, orwell over 300 miles an hour. "

The Hawker Hurricane, which has aRolls-Royce 1050 h.p., engine, is one ofthe latest type of fighters now beingsupplied to the Rpyal Air: Force, inquantity, for the defence of Londonand Britain. It is a low-wing mono-plane of all-metal construction with theexception of the wings,, which arefabric-covered and have tailing edge-flaps. Neither the \maximum iior thanormal cruising speed have yet beendivulged. It has not been designedfor record breaking, and 'is not eventhe fastest of the new machines. TheSpitfire, a different class of. fighter, -which has now reached \the, deliverystage, has even greater speed.. ~,

SIBERIAN RAILWAY

COMPLETION REVEALED

An official radio broadcast has an-nounced completion of a new 1800-milsrailroad paralleling the Far Easternsection of the trans-Siberian railway,says a Moscow message to- the "NewYork Times."

,The new line, construct' I with, ut-most secrecy because of its tremendousmilitary importance, runs fromKarymskaya, east of Lake Baikal, toKhabarovsk, 150 miles from the PacificOcean. At Khabarovsk it joins thetrans-Siberian, a branch of which run3from there down to Vladivostok.

The announcement was made in con-nection with the celebration of thetwentieth anniversary of the Sovietsecret political police, created on De-cember 20, 1917.

Politicalprisoners of the secret policecomposed much of ,the large labourbattalions that built the new .line. Itwas announced that 10,000 of the pri-soners who had made good records intheir work on the railroad would befreed. Many would have the notation,of their imprisonment removed from,their citizenship papers.

A FOUR YEARS' TASK.Building of the new railway, which

Ues to the north of the double-trackedtrans-Siberian line, has taken\nearlyfour years. Such secrecy has surround-ed it that it has not been definitelylearned whether thenew line is double*tracked.

Its construction was carried on attop speed, to provide the Soviet Armywith sufficient transportation facilitiesto wage defensive warfare in FarEastern Siberia and along the shoresof the Pacific.

Tsarist Russia's inability to movetroops and: supplies rapidly acrossSiberia was a fatal weakness in the19|64 war with Japan. That experi-ence has not been lost on the Tsar'ssuccessors, who find their relationswith Japan growing progressively moretense. . ' !{

It was believed the line would havetremendous commercial value also. Cutthrough the heart, of a veritable em-pire, it will open up a region rich inminerals, timber; farm lands, and fur-bearing animals.

In it? announcement the Govv.nnientwished the secret police, the firmerOgpu, now known as the NIIVD. "suc-cess in uprooting enemies of. th«people."

The-broadcast concluded,. "Long lif*to the NKVD, the punitive organismof the proletarian State."

STEPPING-STONES IN THEPACIFIC

Full information on legislation isnot expected when a Bill is intro-duced, and the Minister of Industriesand Commerce cannot be criticisedfor the" brevity of his initialexplanation of.the Iron and SteelIndustry Bill. But that does not

imply that-the information given issufficient, or nearly sufficient, to

warrant the House of Representativessanctioning State entry into theindustry. The proposed capital out-lay—a maximum of £5,000,000—ilone would make the propositionone to be examined with the greatest:are, though we ljave been talkingso easily in millions of late yearsJiat the magnitude of the expendi-:ure may not berealised. There are,lowever, even more important con-siderations. Iron and steel are:ssential in many industries—build-ng, for example—and if the cost of;hese materials is high all theJeperident industries will be under alandicap. New Zealand must ask,herefore, not only whether a return;an be obtained for an investment ofE5,000,000 in iron and steel works,jut how that return is to be assured.

The development of New Zealandndustries is a praiseworthy aim, butmly ifv the development is profitable:o the community at large. If anindustry can Be kept in operationmly by levying heavily upon tax-payers or users of the product, itaecomesL not an asset but a liability,fhe Minister of Industries andCommerce informed the House ofEtepresentatives on Friday that thejovernment's expert advisers statedhat the industry could be establishedmd maintained on ah economicjasis. When the Minister moves thejecond reading of the Bill, he will,,ve trust, quote exactly any condi-ions stated by the experts. Havehey reckoned'Upon a closed marketror the whole output of the works,i market secure^ against the com-petitive entry of iron and steel fromjther countries? If so, how is thenarket to be protected? Will thereje an embargo upon the importation>f air iron and steel and will usersDe compelled to take their supplies:rom the Government? The Bill, itmay be noted, proposes a Govern-ment monopoly of iron-ore mining.SPill there be also a Governmentmonopoly of the sale of iron andsteel in the qualities and sizesproduced by the Government works?Further, how will the price beregulated? Will it be fixed at costis determined in the State works, orit cost as shown by the rate atwhich supplies could be obtainedfrom overseas if free importationwere allowed? Exact informationjn these points is required to showwhether the industry will be trulysconomic, and whether the first costjf establishing it will be succeeded-by an indirect subsidy cost to keepit in operation.

As important as the. questionwhether this industry can beeconomically established is thesecond question: Should it be under-taken directly by the Government?Socialistic supporters of State workswho see no merit in private enter-prise may think this question callsonly for an emphatic affirmative,without reasons. But the public willask for reasons. A hint of thereason that may be given was con-tained in the Prime Minister'sreference to the subject before theBill appeared. For years, Mr.Savage said, there had been talk ofdeveloping the iron resources and,itwas time we stopped talking and didsomething. This implies thatmethods other than State operationhave hitherto not produced thedesired results. But this does notprove thatsuccessful operation couldnot be secured by private enterprisewith sufficient capital resources andGovernment co-operation in dieinitial stages. In fact, the planwhich was under considerationbefore the ,Labour Governmententered officers understood to havebeen upon this basis. The Govern-ment should explain why this planhas now apparently been abandonedin favour of one under which theState will take the whole risk.

New Zealand has1 gone far in thedevelopment of State enterprises;but-the result has not been to con-vince the public that the State isalways superior in efficiency andeconomy. It cannot be taken forgranted that there will be.superiorityin this instance. Admittedly anenterprise which demands a hugecapital may be more readily estab-lished by Government action in NewZealand where private capitalisationin millions is unusual. But if theprivate capital could have beenprovided this argument does notapply. It then becomes a questionof the conditions; under whichprivate finance would have beenavailable, and relative costs andrisks. ' Would private enterprisehave demanded conditions morefavourable than the Government isproposing to grant to its own in-dustry? On what terms will theGovernment provide the £5,000,000capital which is, sought? Will thiscapital be raised as an issue of newmoney by the Reserve Bank on theplea that the costless credit iswarranted because it will create anasset? These are questions whichmust be answered by the Govern-ment if Parliament is to consider theissue not on the mere theory ofStale as against private enterprise,'but with due regard for (lie businessfacts which should govern Stateentry into a big busines-

The map will also displaymost of these islands underlined withred to show that they are British.Most of the rest are similarly distin-guished with another colour, indicat-ing that they are French possessions.The Japanese control several groupsnorth of the Equator under a man-date from the League of Nations. Afew—very few—are revealed as be-longing to the United States. Themost important of these are theHawaiian Islands in the north, thenearest of all the Pacific Islands tothe mainland ofAmerica4, and conse-quently places of immense strategicimportance. South of the Equator,the United States also owns Tutuila,with its harbour of Pago Pago, andthe neighbour islands ,east of themain Samoan group. One of these,Rose Island, was recently mentioned!as an alternative airport to PagoPago. One or two other smaller is-lands and reefs between Hawaii andSamoa have also been occupied onbehalf of the United States. Accord-ing to a cable message from NewYork today, on the authority of the"New York Times," President Roose-velt has "prepared an executive order,which is awaiting signature, forformally taking over in the name ofthe United States the islands ofCanton andEnderbury in the PhoenixGroup." The "New York Times,"commenting on the claim, states that"claims to other Pacific islands arein prospect in a broad move, which,if carried through successfully, willmark the greatest oversea expansionin American history."

The basis of the American claimis prior discovery, and in support itis stated that "according to Americanrecords Canton and Enderbury areamong more than seventy-five islandsthroughout the Pacific discovered byAmerican whalers." These are nodoubt the same whalers who in largenumbers visited the coasts of NewZealand a century ago or more:Even if the Americans were first' inthe field—which, of course, may bequestioned—according to generally-accepted notions of internationallaw,it is effective occupation that deter-mines ownership. It is not sufficientto hoist the national flag and sailaway not to come back for anotherhundred years. If an island is. notoccupied, it is deemed ownerless andopento occupationby another Power.In the past Pacific islands, often merecoral reefs, have been regarded asof little commercial value, andnations have taken little trouble tOiestablish formal possession. , Thecoming of commercial aviation andinternational air traffic on a largescale has completely transformed theattitude of interested nations towardsthese little islands, which have be-come stepping-stones for aircraft intheir hops over long stretches ofocean.7 Hence the extraordinary im-portance of the Hawaiian Islands inthe aerial navigation of the Pacificbecause there is no other land in the2500-mile breadth of water betweenthem and the American Continent.Similarly Canton and Enderbury Is-lands lie directly on the air routebetween Honolulu, in Hawaii, and,the British Dominions of theSouthernPacific, with which America has al-ready inaugurated communication byair. Over the island of Canton, wherea New Zealand party witnessed thesolar eclipse last year, there has al-ready been a mild dispute, British andAmerican warships both being pre-sent at, the time. New Zealand is,of course, interested as a party toany scheme of trans-Pacific aviationbased on the Dominion. There isalso the question of radio stationsfor accurate weather reporting andforecasts, vital to aviation. Thesituation therefore is of no little in-terest, and developments are likelyto be watched keenly by all con-cerned. ■ '

TRADE BONDS WITH U.S.A.

If Britain consisted only of theBritish Isles, reciprocal tariffarrangements with the United Stateswould not be easy to contrive. Butthe question becomes ,even morecomplicated if Canada is to comeinto the negotiations; also Australia;also New Zealand; possibly SouthAfrica. Because of her geographical-political position, Canadas has beenin the Washington-London tariffdiscussions from the beginning; andtoday a Washington cablegraminserts the thin end of an Australianwedge. If Washington, as' a con-cession to London, • reduces theAmerican tariff on British woollenmanufactures, shall Washington alsoreduce the \ American tariff onAustralian raw wool, in the interestsof Australian sheep farmers andAmerican woollen manufacturers?And if Australian wool is to becalled oir to help the Americanmanufacturer, will this expansion ofAustralian wool sales in the UnitedStates reconcile the CanberraGovernment to British and Canadianconcessions to Washington thaiwould give American dried fruits alarger share of the British andCanadian markets in competitionwith Australian dried fruits?

These questions, raised in theWashington cablegram, are merel}typical./-A score or more similaiquestions must arise, if theWashington-London discussions ar<to assume an increasingly Empirebasis. In such .questions the variousunits of the Empire would have avery direct interest. Such aNsharingof the British market betweenAmerican and Dominion supplierswould involve a network of conlcessions and compensations as beltween America and the Dominionsand as between Dominion ancDominion. But the more the basifof discussion is extended along the

lines suggested in the Washingtoncablegram, the greater is llic com-plication. In these days high hopesare based on planning, but cansuch an intricacy of productions andconsumptions be planned so that fiveor six countries can conform to aplan roughly oullined by land's?If a new Anglo-American tariff isto" be approached in London froman Empire as well as a UnitedKingdom angle, the background ofregulated productions as well asregulated markets arises. As a back-ground, it may be attractive, but itsintense complexities will stand outon a closer-up view.

A Canadian delegate to theEmpire Producers Conference atSydney, Mr. J. A. Wesson, in passingthrough Auckland, makes the remarkthat "it is necessary to find someworking .plan for regulating sur-pluses and controlling markets, noton a competitive basis, but on a co-operative system." This is the"trend" of the moment. Its transla-tion into smooth-working reality isanother matter.

OVER-EXERTION INATHLETICS

Athletic training should improve ayouth's mind* as well as his body;and the public, consciously or un-consciously, look for this double re-sult. It is therefore pleasing to notethat Messrs. V. P. Boot and C- H:Matthews, having won on Australiantracks a prominent place inVpublianotice, have reinforced their trackclaims by delivering two thoughtfuladdresses* reported by Press Associa-tionfrom Christchurch. Boot's half-mile is not more memorable than histimely advice against over-exertionby youngsters.

We should start training the boyswhen at school, but we must not letthem over-exert themselves. We seeso many annual school sports in whichboys contest every event. These boys,once promising, simply, fade out andwe hear no more of them. I advocatea rest after a school career for allyoung runners. When Matthews andI left school we had a year's spell be-fore entering into senior athletics. Theaction of schoolmasters who force boysto compete in all events is to be de-plored.Aboy who is very full of heart whenyoung may have a very poor hearta little later unless some intelligenceis used in the control of him. Underwise direction, he may absorb someof this intelligence, and, after a greatfield win, may come home to scorean equally important success, bymaking such modest public appear-ances as Matthews and Boot made inChristchurch, and by saying some-thing really worth saying about thegreat art of track-running and thegreater art of not overdoing it. >

Nointoxicating drinks of any nature areserved or allowed on board, eitheramong the crew or in the wardroomsof the officers. Instead of the usualvariety of refreshments to be found inthe ships of other navies for the^-enter-tainment of visitors or for the use ofcomplement, typical American softdrinks are provided. One result ofthe Louisville's long cruise is thatfresh stocks of these American drinkshad to be purchased at Sydney.

Removal of Gorsc.An object lesson in gorse destruction

is provided on the slopes of" the hillsround Wellington. There have beenmany fires in gorse plantations thisseason, and if anyone• thinks {his isthe end of this noxious weed, let himvisit a burnt patch a few weeks afterthe fire has burnt vigorously. Therehe will find at the base of every plant,a myriad, literally, of young, healthyshoots, doing well and thriving in averitable seed-bed. A contrast inmethods, in one particular locality, tellsthe story clearly. In a certain area ofhillside two stretches are being cleared.One is being done by a single con-tractor Who has taken on the job, theother by a gang on day work. Theformer goes below the surface andgrubs out every bush and extracts theroots. The others have cleared a lotof rubbishy growth, but the stumpsare mostly several inches below thegr6und, and it will need re-doing ina year or two. The bushes have beenfelled and burnt, but already, in thecourse of a few weeks, the stumps areshooting, and branches appearing.

New Christchurch Station.The elevation plans for the new

railway station for Christchurch arealmost completed, and the preliminaryengineering activities on the site, in-cluding the- old station and an areatowards Madras Street, suggest that theofficial announcement of the start ofthe building and lay-out of lines willnot be* deferred for long, states 'the"Press." The preliminary work nowdone is the clearing of ground and thesinking of test foundation pits. Theoperations are under the control of anengineer who has been transferredfrom Wellington to Christchurch. Thefirst big construction job which willbe undertaken is the building of amassive new shed—double the size ofthe big D shed in Carlyle Street—atWaltham. When the Department be-gan to acquire properties in MowbrayStreet and Falsgrave Street, the pro-posals were to use the extensive yardsolely for shunting and storage and thealteration of the plans to provide a sitefor the huge goods shed was broughtabout so that, when the new stationwas being built, with a consequentalteration of lines, the existing ser-vices would not be interrupted

A BRITISH PROBLEMSTORAGE OF FOOD

DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT

(From "Tho Post's" Itoprosmitntlvo,)LONDON, U'obt'UM'y 12.

He-armament hns held ft prodomliuil-ing place in English news during Iliapast Uvolvo months. A bigger «nd boUter army, navy, ontl nlr force, guriß,

bombs, air raid precautions, grift, gaamasks, anti-aircraft guns, recruits, ter-ritorials, have boon read about dully.Films havo been mode, mid arc shownas part of entertainment programme^giving instructions as to the best wayto make a house gas proof. The build-ing of dug-outs is discussed dispas-sionately.

At night searchlights flick the sidesover London, generuls persuade (un-successfully) country people to allowthem to practise anti-aircraft firing Intheir neighbourhood, informing themthat "Our position is grave"; citiesundergo "black-outs" in the dead ofnight to test the art of defending theircitizens against air attack, nurses arerecruited, and gas masks are fittedon babies. First one cry for a sectionof defence purposes is raised, then an-other., The latest is for food storage.

The subject was debated in Parlia-ment this week, and a much-criticisedstatement was made by the Ministerfor Co-ordination of Defence, SirThomas Inskip. He recognised themethod of food storage as an import-ant part of the plans necessary forthe maintenance, of an adequate na-tional food supply but he did not ad-mit that the Government, should goout, and, over the whole area of foodcommodities, purchase so manymonths or weeks' supply.

COMPLETE SURVEY MADE.In the- twelve morlths since the

Food Defence Plans Department hadbeen created, he said, a complete sur-vey had been made of the stores offood in Great Britain, of the places inwhich they might be purchased,where they might be stored, and thecapital expenditure involved. In ashort time a lull report would bepublished which would show that theplans had been substantially broughtto a stage where nothing remained butto carry out in detail the arrange-ments at the various ports for mak-ing the scheme effective.

There would be a considerable cap-ital cost, together with an annual cost.Sir Thomas said that he favoured theconsideration of a policy which wouldresult in food storage with the helpof the food trades.

The difficulties should not bp magni-fied. To suggest that Britain was ina worse position than in 1918 was aserious exaggeration. While not ex-cluding the possibility of a,change ofpolicy, he satw no present netfjssityfor the Government to build silos andstores on a big scale. It was doubt-ful, indeed, if it could be,done, be-cause of the insistent demands of, thedefence programme for steel. Thestrengthening of• the fighting servicesmust come first; next came the homeproduction of 'food, which had sub-stantially improved since the war andcould be expanded in case of emer-gency. To that extent the need forartificial storage was less.

"I do not propose," he said, 'to in-form the House as to the details ofthe plans that have been consideredby the Government for food Storage.Any announcement to purchase thisor that commodity by the GovernmentWould send prices up, sky high."

He differed from the suggestion thatthe Government should buy "as and•when they can.";-, That would also befatal to the maintenance of prices.

He favoured consideration of thepolicy of food storage with the as-sistance of those engaged in the an-dustry—for that was most congenialto the interests of the nation as wellas to the\organisations /which suppliedBritain's food. It also had the ad-Vantage of causing much less ex-pense to the Government. 'The Government must be allowedto carry out the details of this workin their own way. and in silence. TheGovernment were aware of their dutyof maintaining the supplies of food asa reasonable insurance against, thedanger to which, members had refer-red, but it was an insurance, the rateof premium of which the Governmentmust'be left to decide.

WHAT THE CBITICS THINK.Critics not satisfied with the Min-

ister's statement 'say that it is ob-vious that the Government has cometo no decision on the principle of foodstorage". After a reasonably long timeforethought, it is said, a^ plaineranswer was expected. Mr. jr.*.

Clvne M.P.» veteran of food controlduring the war, told the House thathe had listenedwith amazement to SirThomas's speech and was utterly dis-appointed at the complete absence ofany hint of a definite policjron thepart of the Government. If food wasnot in store in war time the war waslost for Britain. \

Sir Archibald Sinclair rather moremildly suggested -that Ministers weretoo anxious to> stifle criticism and de-clined to believe in the possibility ofeffectively increasing English agri-

cultural production. Sir Thomas In-skip, he was afraid, was going toprove "the1 Old Mother Hubbard" ofthe Government.; He had the machin-ery for distribution, the key to thecupboard, but when Mother Hubbardopened the cupboard there was nofood inside. ; ,

Sir Arthur Salter declared thatthere ought to be a year's supply offood in storage, the cost of which hecalculated at £5,000,000 annually.

Government supporters say thatSir Thomas is to be commended forhis refusal to be bustled into momen-tous decisions before all the factorsin the problem have been weighed.It is emphasised that many considera-tions have to be kept in proper per-spective, and that the first care mustbe defence.- Critics are reminded thathome production has been very great-ly increased in the last four years,and that it is capable of further ex-pansion. As to overseas supplies itis pointed out that British resourcesin shipping are not less than theywere in the war, and, that in theopinion of experts it would be im-possible for an enemy to prevent ade-quate supplies from reaching Britishports in spite of the losses that mightbe inflicted., NO GREAT UNEASINESS.

All these precautions, alarmingenough when the necessity, of theirfull application is contemplated, donot cause any violent uneasinessamong the people as a whole. Therehave, of course, been a few isolatedinstances of people building their ownprivate dugouts and storing awaycaches of tinned food against thedreaded day when war may1 breakout.especially to the visiting New Zea-

The reports of the precautions,lander, may appear alarming at firstsight and cause a number to returnto the Dominion with gloomy fore-bodings, ctually, the view that ismore generally accepted in Englandnow is that every age is afflicted bya particular menace, that the great-est threat today is from the air, andthat therefore preparations should betaken as a matter of course and notfrom any fear of the immediate neces-sity of practising them. The cry forBritain to grow and store more food,raised more strenuously in the lastmonth or two, is designed as much toaid the Home farmer as it is to pre-pare against war

PEOPLE WITH FIXED INCOMES

(To tho Editor.)yj,. ..-Various sections of the com-

munity, through their respective or-KnnlsaUonu, hftvo recently been veryuflloulnlc, II not actually blatant, intho dully nowspnpors, regarding legis-lation affecting their particular inter-ests, Including reduced working hours,higher wnKcs, costs of production, in-creased Customs duties,' and othercontentious subjects connected with theImplementing of the Labour Govern-ment's policy. • .

The Government, alarmed at the re-sults of its policy In catering for asection of the community, is endeav-ouring to placate other sections byadopting palliative measures, such asthe recent increase in Customs duties.The absurdity of a Minister's conten-tion that these increased duties willnot necessarily lead to increased pricesto the public was ably dealt within your editorial yesterday. This Min-ister's statement reminds one Of thePrime Minister's assertion a year ormore ago that the Government wouldsee that its legislation did not im-pose additional costs onthe public!

I want to say a word or two on be-half of thousands,of people who, likemjyself, are collectively inarticulatebecause we are not organised. I referto people who are entirely dependenton fixed incomes barely sufficient tomaintain themselves and their fami-lies in moderate comfort, whetherearned by personal effort or accruingfrom investments; rents, mortgages,superannuation,; annuities, or othersources, and who derive no benefitfrom, but suffer all the disabilitiesof, recent legislation.

The Government says that the in-creased cost of living is more thancovered by increased wages. Thatargument leaves us cold. We get nobenefit from shorter hours or increasein wages. The representatives of theFarmers' Union spread themselves inthe P.ress, pleading that the wholeburden of increased duties and highercosts generally falls on the farmers.Eubbish! We are paying our share.The Manufacturers' Association ap-plauds the Government for increas-ing the duties on goods made by them,so that they can charge us a higherprice. Again we pay without receiv-ing any benefit whatsoever as a set-off, We.are not manufacturers. Busi-ness people are profiting from thefreer circulation of money. -We arenot in business. The labour unionsshout hurrah for shorter, hours, thefive-day week, and higher wages. Wedon't belong to any .union, but we pay>and keep1 on paying the increasedcosts resultant from the benefits andprivileges conferred on 200,000 union-ists. ' " : 1

Examples of many other ways inwhich we people on fixed incomes aregetting all the kicks and none of theha'pence could be cited. However,we will have an opportunity of get-ting in at least one kick before theend of this year and, believe me, itwill be some kick.—l am,(etc.,

NEW ZEALAND WINES

(To the Editor.)Sir,—With your, permission I would

like through the medium, of yourpaper to reply to a statement reputedto have been made by a Dunedin hotelproprietor, viz., "That/New Zealandwine did not have the quality or bodypossessed by African or Australianwine, and that it was not largely usedin Dunedin." As a local agent for NewZealand wines in Wellington I do notprofess to know the amount of NewZealand wine consumed in Dunedin,and can only speak for my own-terri-tory, which has more than exceededexpectations, and after three or fouryears' work I could probably greatlysurprise this gentleman with figuresover this period, which proves a satis-fied public, and after all they are thejudge.

Speaking not as a New Zealander,but as an Englishman, I have foundgenerally a surprising lackt>f faith bymany New Zealanders in their coun-try's products, and the soonerthey losethis* complex the better it will be lorus here all round.—I am, etc.,

LOCAL AGENT..

TEPID-BATHS

(To the Editor.)Sir,—The remarks by ."Spoon Fed"

in Wednesday's' "Evening Post" willno doubt give food for thought tomany citizens. Perhaps the Hon. Mr.Parry's remarks about there beingno great difficulty in providing moneyfor physical and health recreationhave given sports bodies great expec-tations. So far the Minister has spokenonly in generalities, but sports bodiesdo not think so. Some of my swim-mingfriends are of the opinion that theMinister will build them a tepid bathin Wellington which will accommo-date nearly 2000 people seated—seatedmind you, not swimming, just watch-ing the swimmers—a very healthypastime. I cannot convince my manyswimming friends (officials) who thinkonly in terms of competition, thatseveral standard swimming baths 100ftby 40ft distributed throughout Wel-lington would be a much better pro-position for the swimming public andschool children, than would a largecentral bath. .They also, as "SpoonFed" mentions, fall back on the valueto school children, but, will not' seethat Kilbirnie,,Lyall Bay, Island Bay,and Newtown schools could not sparethe time and the expense in travellingto and fro to the central bath. It is tobe hoped that public money will notbe used in order that we may dobetter at the Olympic Games.

Regarding the athletes and theircoach—that is their own business, and"Spoon Fed" has shown them an hon-ourable way of getting a coach. Theyare no more entitled to Governmentassistance for a coach than are tennis,swimming, football,; or table tennis,etc.—l am, etc.,

HEALTH WITH PRIDE.

EFFECTS OF NEW TARIFF, (To the Editor.)Sir,—ln your Friday's issue of "The

Post," under the heading "Tariff Con-sequences," your leading article dealswith some of the probable effects ofthe new Australian Customs tariff.With your permission, I would liketo deal with your third question: theeffect upon employment, more fullythan, as it appears to me, you havedone. You state "the tariff is needed,therefore, not to extend the scope ofenterprise and employment, but toprevent enterprise and employmentfrom being restricted." But the verypurpose of a tariff is to restrict en-terprise and employment, and this newtariff cannot be an exception to anacknowledged intent. You have con-fined your analysis to the various in-dustries affected by the new measure,being concerned that no diminutionof trade and employment shall bosuffered by them; but you have over-looked, Sir, that trade is an equationof goods for goods. As the effect .ofthe new tariff is to restrict imports

from Australia, .it follows that infuture Australia must accept a lesserquantity of exports from New Zea-land. These exports being the primarynnd indigenous products of the coun-try, are, in consequence, of muchgreater value to New Zealand, bothfrom a monetary and employmentpoint of view, than the artificial in-dustries which now supplant them andwhich need conltlnual spoon-feedingat the expense of the general consumerto keep them in existence.

Again, as you state, there must bean increase of prices due to the tariff,or it might be in some cases, the in-crease now already here, and such in-crease caused the decline of consump-tion of local goods whidh led to thedemand for higher duties. In anycase the higher prices must lead toa lessened consumption of goods, arida reduced standard of living; thus in-evitably leading to a reduced employ-ment of labour. Under no circum-stances is it true that "protection" in-creases the total employment of lab-our, or increases the wealth of na-tions. It displaces labour and capitalfrom the naturally payable ' occupa-tions of a country to engage them inemployments which would show greatlosses were they not concealed bytariffs. It frequently compels theconsumption of inferior goods, throughlack of-skill, or of wholesome com-petition. It.is the fruitful cause of in-ternational and internal dissensions;and, cruellest injury of all, diverts at-tention from the fundamental injus-tice of a land system which bringsto nought all legislative efforts toimprove the conditions of the people.—I am, etc.,

COUNCILLOR M.P.'S

(To the Editor.) jSir,—ln an interview last week with

an "Evening Post" representative,CouncillorBurns expressed the opinionthatwith.the increase of council workit was hardly possible for members cfParliament, to do justice to the twojobs. In particular, he said visits ofinspection to various works were aptto be neglected. As I am one of themembers of Parliament on the coun-cil, I have examined the councilminutes for the year ended March,1937. This* record discloses the factthat I was1 summoned to attend 70council and committee meetings and8 visits of inspection. I attended 64 ofthe former and 7 of the latter. Inother words, 71 out of a possible 78.As Councillor Burns has -. no betterrecord for the same period, he couldnot in his criticism have referred tome.—l am,' etc., ,

RUGBY, March (5.Speaking at Chelsea, the Home Sec-

retary (Sir Samuel Hoare) said thatthere was widespread relief! that thePrime Ministerhad'embarked on a de-finite active policy of reconciliation inEurope.

Mr. Chamberlain and theGovernment were determined to up-hold the honour and fulfil the obliga-tions of Britain, and had no intentionof supporting any peace in Europethat wasvnot peace with honour.

OBITUARYMR. G. F. PEABODY

(Received March 7, 9.10 a.m.)NEW YORK, March 5.

The death has occurred of Mr.GeorgeFoster Peabody, banker and philan-thropist.

Son of the famous American philan-thropist George H. Peabody, who onone occasion gave £500,000 for' theerection of working-class dwellingsin London and who gave over£1000,000 to educational institutionsin the United States,, George FosterP.eabody followed hisfather in unceas-ing activity in church, business, politi-cal and educational affairs. He wasborn in "Columbus, Ga, on July 27,1852, and educated at Harvard andWashington and Lee. For many yearshe was in the banking business, hiscareer being ' capped by PresidentWilson appointing him director andvice-chairman of the Federal ReserveBank in New York. He was treasurerof the National Democratic Committeeover thirty years ago, and was alsogreatly interested in. the forest con-servation since elected chairman ofthe New York Keservation Committeein 1910. At his sugggestion the great-est forest nursery in the world wasestablished at Saratoga Springs."Yaddo," his home there, where Poeis said to have been inspired with"The Raven," is now administered fonthe benefit of the public. Its largestbuilding is given over to creative

artists who are received there asguests to !work out their, own prob-lems unharassed by- economic pres-sure. Negro education was perhapshis greatest interest.

VIOLENT NAZISAGGRESSION IN VIENNA

MASKED GUNMEN FIRE

FATHERLAND, FRONTLEADER SHOT

(United Press Association—By ElectricTctOßrnim—Copyright.)

VIENNA, March 5.The first act of violence by the

Austrian Nazis against the Father-land Front occurred in a suburb ofVienna, where twenty masked menburst in on a meeting of the Father-land Front and fired revolvers,seriously wounding two people.

Great numbers of Nazis have ap-peared in the streets wearing a specialswastika badge, which they declare isnot a symbol of Nazism but of anti-Semitikm, thus evading the law.

The Austrian Cabinet met to con-sider the raid by the masked gun-men. A serious view was taken ofthe incident, as the principal victimwas the 20-year-old leader of theFatherland Front. He is not ex-pected to live.The gunmen ordered the members of

the Fatherland Front to stand up, givethe Nazi salute, and say "Heil Hitler."The leader of the Fatherland Frontturned his back on the intruders,- whoriddled him with bullets. ..

Vienna University is closed owing toclashes between Nazi and Catholicstudents in which the police had tointervene.

STEADY INCREASE

NAZI PRESSURE

EVENTS MOVING FAST

GATHERING AT LINZ

LONDON, March 4.The Vienna correspondent of "The

Times" says that Linz, the, secondstrongest Nazi centre in Austria, islikely, to witness scenes resemblingthose at Graz last weekend.

The Minister of the Interior, Dr.Inquart, is going to Linz on Saturdayto discuss with.the Nazi leaders thelimits in,which they may exercise theirnew political liberty, but the visit isbeing used to stage a great Nazi de-monstration, r

Dr. Inquart's speech will be broad-cast to all towns and villages in UpperAustria, where community listening hasbeen ordered, but while the Nazis areto enjoy their fill of politics 3000 de-monstrations by Government support-ers arranged for February 6 have beencancelled in favour of small indoormeetings. If events^ continue similarly,the Nazis will have a monopoly ofpolitical liberty instead of equality.

The Government's supporters, whomthe Chancellor's speech reassured, arenow again alarmed> and are wonder-ing ifDr. Schuschnigg, instead of beingthe inhabitant of an impregnable fort-ress, is not in the position of a manin a toboggan on the crest of a run.

Meanwhile Nazi pressure is continu-ally increasing. Major Klausner, a one-armed Carinthian officer, now officialleader of the Nazis, is reported to havebeen appointed a member of the na-Itional section of the Fatherland Front,ito which Professor Mengsin, anotherNazi leader, has also been1 appointed;

MajorKlausner recently visited HerrHitler, who confirmed his appointmentas Nazi leader. A Cabinet member,Herr Horstenau, also visited Herr Hit-ler. . ■Apparently events are moving fast.

FRESH CONCESSIONS

POSTS FOR NAZIS

WELCOME TO MINISTER

LINZ, March 6..Defying Dr. Inquart's ruling issued

last night, thousands of fully uni-formed Nazis assembled to welcomeDr. Inquart, who unhesitatingly re-plied to their Nazi salute with up-raised arm and the shout of "Heil."Dr. Inquart drove through the streetspacked with cheering Nazis estimatedat 100,000 strong to confer with thelocal authorities, after which he ad-dressed hundreds of Nazi delegates:

Dr. Inquart announced importantfresh concessions, including posts forNazis in the provincial governmentsand municipalities. However, he re-minded the Nazis that party emblemswere prohibited for Austrians, al-though nationalist societies could in-corporate the swastika in a badgewhich Required the authorities' ap-proval. He also emphasised that anynew type of propaganda must havehis consent.

SOVIET FLYERS' FATE

SIR H. WILKINS'S THEORY

NEVER REACHED ALASKA

NEW YORK, March 5."After an air search covering 3000

miles on courses less than 10 milesapart, I am convinced that Levanev-ski, the missing Russian flyer, didnot reach the Alaskan coast," says SirHubert Wilkins from" Aklavik, Alaska,in a message copyrighted by theNorth. American Newspaper Alliance.

"Had he crashed in the mountains,I think we would have seenthe wreck.Had he landed on the Arctic tundra,some of the crew would-probably havebeen able to walk and establish somemeans of communication."

Levanevski, with four companions,in a four-engined amphibian plane,,commenced a trans-Polar flight fromMoscow to the United States onAugust 12 last. Since that date nonews has been received from them.Their last message1 reported enginetrouble. Sir Hubert Wilkins hasalways believed the flyers were safe.

ITALIAN NAVAL ESTIMATESEXHIBITION STRIKE OVER

(British Official Wireless.)(Received March 7, 9 a.m.)

Rugby, March 6.Two thousand employees at the Glas-

gowexhibition building whohave beenon strike have decided to return tojwork.

ROME, March 5!The naval estimates for 1938-39 are

equivalent to £23,000,000, an increasesof £1,500,000 on last year. It does notcover new construction of ships.

Ships at present bejng constructedcomprise four 35,000-ton battleships, 24largo destroyers, .16 torpedo-boats, and

■-ore than 30 submarines.

Rosengoltz stated in evidence that Ihe had been in contact with MarshalTukhachevsky (then Assistant Com-missar of Defence, who was executedwith seven generals in June, 1937),whoasserted that he was preparing, withreliable military organisations, for aputsch on May Day, 1937, aiming atthe massacre of the leaders of the Gov-ernment and the seizure of the Krem-lin and the headquarters of the Ogpu.

Rosengoltz did not explain why thecoup did not materialise.

IN LEAGUE WITH TROTSKY.Earlier in. his evidence Rosengoltz

said he met Sedovand Trotsky in Aus-tria. Sedov conveyed to Trotsky awarning that although Marshal Tuk-hachevsky might be the deciding fac-tor in the coup Tukhachevsky mightestablish himself as a military dictatorand prevent Trotsky's return to Mos-cow. Trotsky also ordered wreckinginside Russia in connection with hisnegotiations with Germany, which heachieved by arranging a German oilagreement and a pact for the export ofcredit. Similarly, Japan had assistedby exporting pig iron and delaying theexport of materials to Outer Mongoliawhile defective materials were import-ed to Russia.

Rosengoltz explained that when hewas Commissar of Foreign Trade hemanipulated the finances in order to.finance Trotsky, who during the pastthree years had received £22,000 ayear, Rosengoltz estimated that Trot-sky since 1931 had received a total of£197,000 through various foreign con-cerns trading with Russia.

Rosengoltz said that, fololwihg thearrest of Piatakoff, Radek, Sokolnikpff,and others (who were tried in Janu-ary, 1937, and who were all executedexcept Radek andSokolriikoff),Trotskyin a letter stressed the importance ofan immediate military coup.

NEGOTIATIONS WITH JAPAN.The accused, Rakovsky, former

Ambassador in London, mention-ed that after the fall of • Mr.Ramsay MacDonald's Ministry, hemade contact with an Englishmannamed Armstrong. Rakovsky admittedthat since his return from the TokioConference he persuaded Dr. Naide,secretary of the Soviet delegation toTokio, to act immediately between himand the Japanese Embassy. A highpersonage told him he knew Rakovskywas a friend of Trotsky and that cer-tain Powers were not satisfied withTrotsky's articles on the Chinese ques-tion and Trotsky's behaviour towardsMoscow. Therefore, it would be de-sirable to provoke an incident withChina and cause Japanese interven-tion. Later he talked. with Yurenev,Ambassador to Japan at the time,about Anglo-Japanese rivalry in China,expressing the view that Trotsky hadto play off the British, Japanese, andGermans against each other.

Rakovsky added that he told Yure-nev that although Japan had great po-tentialities as an aggressor it wouldnot do to over-estimate this strength.Even should war come with Russia,the Japanese would be bogged'down inthe vast territories of the Soviet Union.

JOINED BRITISH. SPY SERVICE.- Rakovsky went on to detail allegedwork on behalf of the British Intelli-gence Service when he was Ambassa-dor in London in 1924. He mentioneda number of prominent British per-sonages.

He said that in November, 1924, twoBritish naval officers, "Messrs. A andL," visited him and produced a letterpurporting to have' been written byRakovsky during the war in Rumania(Rakovsky is a Bulgarian by birth andwas released from a Rusisan prison byRussian soldiers in 1917), indicatingthat Rakovsky had been .a Germanagent in Rumania. Rakovsky declaredthat the Englishmen, threatened to ex-pose him, so he demanded proof thatthey really represented the IntelligenceService. A meeting was arranged inOxfordStreet, where he met the chiefof the Russian Department of the Bri-tish Intelligence Service, whose namewas 'Richardson or Robertson or per-haps Nicolson. .

After that confirmation Rakovskyreturned to Moscow and talked withTrotsky, who approved his joining theBritish Intelligence when he resumedhis post in London. "Mr. A" introducedhim to an English journalist, "Mr. F,"who served as a contact man and towhom he gave an analytical report onthe situation in Central Asia. Rakovskyalleged that in 1936 he prepared ananalysis of the Soviet Constitution forthe British Embassy.

NAMES DIVULGED.

At this stage Rakovsky divulged thenames of the naval officers as Arm-strong and Leckert. The journalistwas Michael Farbman. He added thathe renewed his connection with Bri-tain in 1934 at the request of LadyMuriel Paget.

He confessed that since 1925 he hadbeen connected with the Germansecret service.

Rakovsky concluded: "During myeight months' arrest I saw no news-papers. When the Magistrates showedme papers I was shocked: over theFascist aggression in Spain and China,and realised the enormity of mycrimes."

Rakovsky declared that Trotsky toldhim he served with the British Intel-ligence Service in 1927 by provokingthe raid on the Areas offices in Lon-don, which gave Sir Joynson-Hicks theopportunity of breaking off diplomaticrelations with the Soviet.

Zelinsky, former head of the SovietCo-operative organisation, giving evi-dence at the afternoon session, ad-mitted that he was apaid agent of theTsarist secret police. Yagoda destroy-ed the records of the organisation.

IN GERMAN PAY.Krestinsky, confronted with Rosen-

goltz's evidence regarding a militarycoup, added that the German Reichs-wehrfinanciallysupported the Trotsky-ists. He received £20,000 annuallyfor the last eight years from Germangenerals. An unnamed American jour-nalist conveyed information to Trot-skyist spies which he received throughMironoff, chief censor of the ForeignOffice, and Stern, former head of thewestern department of the ForeignOffica, who was executed in January.

Rakovsky, giving further evidence,testified lhat he went to Tokio in 1934to represent the Soviet at a Red Crossconference. Piatakoff tricked him intotaking a cipher letter to Qureneff, thenAmbassador to Japan, containing secretinformation for the Japanese. The

letter mentioned Bogomoloff, for a longtime councillor to the Embassy inLondon, who was recently recalledfrom the Ambassadorship in China,and Sabanin, head of the legal depart-ment of the Foreign Office, as "goodpeople to use."

Rakovsky added: "The letter com-promised me, so I became a Japanesespy, into which I was blackmailed."

WRECKING CONFESSED.Zelinsky, former head of the Soviet

co-operative organisation, admitted thathe was a paid agent of the Tsaristsecret police. Yagoda destroyed therecords of the organisation.

He cold-bloodedly recited the wreck-ing1 of food distribution, including theplacing of nails and ground glass inbutter. He frequently deliberately de-prived Moscow of butter and eggs, andonce destroyed fifty car-loads of eggsen route to Moscow in order to creatediscontent He also arranged for thir-teenstores to give short weight.

Okranoff admitted hisguilt inwreck-ing agriculture, including the sowing

of cotton unsuitable to the areas. Hedisclosed an attempt to create a revoltamong the Uzbekistan peasants.

HEATED EXCHANGE.Bukharin, who next to < Trotsky is

apparently regarded as the arch-villain, gave evidence at the night ses-sion of the Court. He passionately de-manded to be allowed to tell a con-nected story. Vishinsky, the Prosecu-tor, sharply interrupting, declared thathe would ask any questions he chose,after which he proceeded mercilesslyto cross-examine Bukharin, resulting innumerous heated exchanges.

Bukharin pleaded guilty to belong-ing to the Right Trotskyist bloc sinceits formation, and also to being theleader of an illegal Rightist organisa-tion aiming at the restoration, of Capi-talism since 1928. Bukharin admittedguilt for "all crimes committed by theorganisation, even those of whichI am not aware, as I am a leader andnot a switch operator."

He admitted having been involvedin terrorist plots against Soviet lead-ers, and planned the arrest of Lenin,Stalin, and Sverdloff in 1918, but hefirmly denied a plot to kill them.

Bukharin pleaded for permission toexpound the Rightists' ideology in-volving the restoration of Capitalismbecause public opinion in Russia andthroughout the world might ask whypeople like himself became criminalcounter-revolutionaries. He added thatin the restoration of Capitalism andthe overthrow of the Government theywerefaced with difficulties in the eventof war or defeat. Therefore theyplanned to ensure a Russian defeat,even if it involvedceding the Ukraine,the Far East, and White Russia to Ger-many, Japan, and to some extent toBritain.

Bukharin denied that he was striv-ing for power for his own sake. Itwasfor a political object.'

Replying to the Prosecutor, Buk-harin said that while he participatedin terrorist organisations he was notconnected with putting terrorism intopractice.

The assassination of Kiroff wascarried out without the knowledge ofhis group. 'The Court adjourned till Monday.

PACIFIC ISLANDS

CLAIMED BY U.S.A.

ENDERBURY ANDCANTON

SOVEREIGNTY ISSUE

(United Press Associatiou—By ElectricTelegraph—Copyright.)

NEW YORK, March 4.The Washington correspondent of

the "New York Times" says it isunderstood that President Roosevelthas prepared an executive orderwhich is awaiting signature formallytaking over in the name"of the UnitedStates' the islands of Canton andEnderbury in the Phoenix Group. Itis not certain whether the move willprecipitate a controversy with Bri-tain, in view of the recent Britisheagerness for the United States toassume more responsibility in thePacific.

Already informal conversations havebeen held with London on the statusof islands in the Pacific and negotia-tions will be undertaken in an attemptto settle definitely the sovereigntyquestion.

The "New York Times," commentingon the United States' claim, which, itsays, includes lands which were firstvisited by Americans in Antarctica,states that claims to other PacificIslands are in prospect in a broadmove which, if carriedthrough success-fully, will mark the greatest overseasexpansion in American history.

AMERICAN WHALERS-DISCOVERIES.

According to American records,Canton and Enderbury Islands areamong more than seventy-five islandsthroughout the Pacific, which were dis-covered by American whalers. The"New York Times" points out that theentire Phoenix Group has since beenclaimed by Britain, and the Britishclaim is fortified by Orders in Councilformally asserting sovereignty. Dis-cussions at present centring in thePacific are being confined to Britainand the United States.

Pending the negotiations, nothingmay be done about the: New Zealandunit which occupied Canton Islandsome months ago.

It is intended to keep the negotia-tions with Britain over Canton andEnderbury Islands separate from thoseover Antarctica. In the latter regionnot only discoveries by Rear-AdmiralByrd are involved, but those of otherAmerican explorers.

"There is no expectation of inter-national conferences being held todetermine the issues; rather it is in-tended, to negotiate through normaldiplomatic discussions taking placesimultaneously here and in the capitalsabroad," adds the "New York Times."

In the meantime experts of the Navyand State Departments are investigat-ing to determine who discovered theislands in the Pacific in order to supportthe American claims to sovereignty.This implies that the State Departmenthas rejected the thesis that discoveryalone is not sufficient as a basis forclaims to the lands, which some daymay be of great importance for .avia-tion bases. ■ . ■ ■

THEORY AS TO CAUSE

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

JLACK OF NERVE VITAMIN

TORONTO, March 5.The Canadian Medical Journal ad-

vances the theory that infantileparalysis may be attributed to a lackof vitamin B, the nerve vitamin.

The writer finds the susceptibilityof children to be due to the fact thatthey need more vitamin B than doadults. He points out that the symp7

,toms are similar to those of beriberi,which led to the discovery of vitaminB.

Trotsky caused the raid. God knowswhy. It is either the prospect of somedamnable torture or the result of adrug."

SECRET NEGOTIATIONSSOVIET AND GERMANY

REVELATION BY TROTSKY

NEW YORK, .March 5.A North American Newspaper Alli-

ance copyright message from MexicoCity says that secret army negotiationsbetween the Soviet and Germany soonafter the war were revealed by M.Leon Trotsky when commenting on thelatestvtrend of the trial. 'M. Trotsky said that Russia, whichwas vitally concerned to improve itsmilitary technique, could only expectco-operation from Germany. At thesame timethe Reichswehr, deprived bythe Versailles Treaty of. opportunitiesof development, aimed to use theSoviet military industry. A most im-portant concession was granted—theJunker aircraft concern. This involv-ed an exchange of visits by expertson both sides, all under the closestcover of' secrecy. Officially the Ger-man Government took no part.

M. Trotsky admits that he undertookthis work not as an individual but onbehalf of the Soviet Government. Atthis time Stalin was a most doggedpartisan of collaboration with Ger-many.

Referring to the charge that he be-came a German agent in 1921, M.Trotsky adds: "At this point we areentering the realm of psychopathology.Even granted that I aimed not merelyat personal power but at personal dic-tatorship, even at the price of betrayalby a secret agreement with a capitalistGovernment, I would not in any casehave chosen a disarmed and humiliatedGermany."

TRADE AGREEMENTS

DISCUSSION IN U«S.A>

BRITISH COUNTRIES

MOVE FOR TRIANGULARNEGOTIATIONS

WASHINGTON, March 5.Important aspects of the trade agree-

ment programme, including the ques-tion whether the United States willundertake ;the negotiation of an Aus-tralian pact 'simultaneously with pactswith Britain and Canada, were dis-cussed at "White House between Presi-dent Roosevelt, the Secretary of State,Mr. Cordell Hull, Mr. H. A. Wallace,Secretary of Agriculture, and Mr. FB. Sayre, Assistant Secretary of State.It is believed that no decision has yetbeen reached.

The correspondent of the UnitedPress pointed out that a triple motiveexists for triangular discussions:—First,reports that Australian experts^ havealready sailed for the United States;secondly, the persistent efforts of someCongressmen to force consideration ofan Australian pact on the theory thatthe import duty on wool and. cloth willbereduced in the British pact, and thattherefore a compensatory reduction onimported raw wool should bearrangedsimultaneously in order to enabledomestic manufacturers to competewith British cloth imports; thirdly,some experts believe that negotiationswith Australia would facilitate Britainand Canada giving concessions ;"toUnited States goods competing in theirmarkets with Australian goods.

It is understood that the UnitedStates hopes to obtain a larger share'of the Brtiish and Canadian marketsfor raisins, apricots, and peaches, whichAustralia has increasingly sold in com-petition with California. Experts con-tend that if the United States grant-ed Australia concessions on wool, thenBritain and Canada would feel freerto curtail Australian fruit shipments.

Opposing the Australian pact arenumerous officials who contend thatopposition by farmers to imports ofAustralian materials would be poli-tically dangerous.

MINORITIES QUESTIONSTAND BY CZECHSREPLY TO GERMANY

AN INTERNAL ISSUE

ACCOUNTABLE TO LEAGUE

(United Press Association— By ElectricTelegraph—Copyright.)

(Received March 7, 12.50 p.m.)LONDON, March 6.'

The vigorous reply made by thePremier of Czechoslovakia, Dr.Hodza, to the German Chancellor,Herr Hitler, was amplified by Dr.Benes, President of the Republic, inan interview with the "SundayTimes" at the presidential palaceoverlooking Prague.

Dr. Benes emphatically declaredthat the Czechoslovakian treatmentof the subject of minorities and therelationship of the Government withGerman parlies was an internalissue which' could never be the sub-ject of direct official negotiationand discussion with a foreign Power,because such an interference inCzechoslovakia's internal affairscould be repeated on any occasion,provoking lasting trouble. Never-theless, Czechoslovakia would neverdenounce minority treaties, for thefulfilment of which she was ac-countable to the League of Nations.

"There is no panic in Ciecho-!Slovakia," he declared. "We do notbelieve war is imminent, but we areprepared to defend our democraticideals, forcefully if necessary. W«will never use our well-equipped armyfor any purpose but the fulfilment Atobligations based on the LeagueCovenant. We of course will neverabandon the Western Powen withwhich we are linked by commondemocracy, but that does not meanwe will forget our economic relationswith Germany and the vital necessityfor good Czecho-German politicalrelations. , . '■■■■■"We will cordially welcome success-ful Anglo-German and Anglo-Italiantalks, as that would greatly ease Cen-tral European difficulties."

He added that Germans unquestion-ably, were better treated in Czecho-slovakia than in minorities elsewhere;but this did not mean that all Ger-mans were satisfied. However, .the dis-.satisfaction was partly a matter oftactics and feeling against opposition,parties.

Stu-dents should be taught to use theirhands as well as their heads. He at-tributed the recession to the efforts offinancial interests to control prices,production, and pay.

"Financiers are trying to break thecountry so as to control all industry,"he said. "If this small group is suc-cessful, prices will go up and wages'down. However, I am glad to seefinance waking up in one respect andmoving in the right direction byrecognising grain, such as wheat andcorn, as the true basis of wealth.After all, money is simply a token ofwhat has been done.

A strong

_protest against the intro-

duction, of the Government's iron andsteel, scheme was issued by the NewZealand Farmers' Union today., The statement is as follows:—

"The union is strongly opposed totheprinciple of State ownership, whichis against its policy as set out in itsplatform. ■'■'This appears to be a.con-cession to the Socialists. It should bepointed out that the monopoly, par-ticularly as it is State controlled, mustmean higher prices. It would appearthat the Government is following theprinciple which ithas adopted with theRailway Department in buying up othertransport'systems to meet the greatlyincreased 'cost incurred under directGovernment control.

"Iron enters into the cost of mostthings used on farms, and it should bestressed that:the farmer's load of costsis.already too heavy without addingto it.< It should be further stressed thatthe relief which the workswill give tounemployment is infinitesimal as themajority of '■the workers will need tobe 'imported. •"It would appear that this iron andsteel scheme will be another millstoneround the necks of the people of NewZealand, .and another weight whichwill bear heavily on the primary pro-ducers.. Telegrams protesting againstthe inception of the scheme have beensent to the Prime Minister and theMinister of Industries and Com-merce." .

RISK OF THE TAXPAYERS

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)CHRISTCHUKCH, March 6.,

"Adverse comment on the Steel In-dustry Bill was made by Mr. A) G.Lunri, president of the' AssociatedChambers of Commerce of New Zea-land; in -a statement todayT Mr. Lunnsaid that his} organisation would bevery pleased-to see the iron and steelindustry established in New Zealand,provided it could be established onan economic basis. So far the Do-minion had been given nothing to showthat the industry could be economic-ally established in tne circumstancesah'd 'conditions that existed today. .The Government was to finance tneindustry. to the extent of £5,000.000,based on the security of public re-venues; in other words, the taxpayercarried the • risk on his ownWhy was the Government not lettingthe risk be carried by private inves-tors in the ordinary way by allowingprivate enterprise to establish andoperate the undertaking? Neither ofthe 'two reports which had beeri madeby Brassert and Company had beenreleased for public information, but thefact' was that the original report hadnot described the industry as being es-sentially/one for State enterprise. Onthe'contrary, it had envisaged a com-pany operation' working in close co-operation with the State.

Had Brassert and Company'changedits opinion in. its second report? askedMr. .Lunn. Even if it had, that didriot rule out a number of important'questions which arose. Firstly, whatwas the detailed explanation for theincrease of £2,000,000, or two-thirds,on the original estimate of the capitalcost by Brasserts? ' Secondly, whatinformation • •had the Minister ofFinance given to Brasserts Vhen hewas,in England and on which materialBrasserts; had 'amended its report?Higher wages, shorter working hours,increased freighst, and other | chargeshad now to be: considered as factorsentering very seriously into the ques-tion since the original report was com-piled. Thirdly, had the Governmenttold Brasserts for the purpose of thetetter's amended report thatrecent ironand steel imports to New Zealand,which imports were actually of an ab-normal character, were the basis fromwhich the output of the proposed in-dustry should be computed and was iton these that Brasserts had based itsopinion that the industry could stillbe; an economic one for New Zealand?If- so, it would appear that taxpayers,besides becoming involved in a fivemillion pounds' enterprise, were alsobeing bound to perpetuation for yearsto come of some measure of the pre-sent lavish and unwise Public Worksexpenditure in order to sustain the out-put of the proposed industry at ashigh a.level as possible.

■Taking the actual importations forthe last two years as compared withthe average imports for the last fiveor seven years was a very differentmatter^ 'In other words, was the econo-mic soundness of the enterprise de-pendent on the prosperity index andwhat would be the position when con-ditions . became less favourable? Mr.Lunri said that the wide powers,takenin the Bill for the Government tocarry on ancillary industries were veryfar-reaching and if they meant that theGovernment was to dominate distribu-tion in addition to production, thatshould be clearly stated so that manylarge firms which had, at great ex-pense and labour, built up the largeiron and steel industry in the countrywould know where they stood.

Mr. Lunn considered that the Gov-ernment, before embarking on such ahuge' State undertaking with the tax-,payers' money, instead of leaving it inthe hands of private enterprise to pro-secute, should publish both reports byBrasserts for public information andset up a competent and representativecommittee to take evidence and in-quire into the whole question.

WHAT BENEFITS?

THE ECONOMIC POSITION

(To the Editor.)Sir,—The decisionol the Government

to. go ahead with the scheme to estab-lish steel works in New Zealand willcause no surprise as such an action ison.a-par with many of their other ex-periments. The only excuse given,there may be others, is that there hasbeen a.shortage of steel, holding upimportant Government jobs, thereforewhy be dependent on Australia andelsewhere; let us have our own steelworks, in fact, "insulate" ourselvesagainst any steel shortage in thefuture.

The position is that during the pre-sent shortage of steel, New Zealand,

has enjoyed, in common with Austra-lia, the cheapest steel prices in theworld, and, to a very large extent, hasreceived preferential treatment. It willtake two or three years to put thesesteel works,in working order, and whocan say what the position of the steelmarket will be by that time? WithBritish production increasing everymonth, provided war does not inter-vene, it seems probable that once againproduction will outrun demand with aresultant run of low prices. InJanuarylast, the production of American steelhad fallen to 27J per cent, of capacity,due to some extent to a faltering indemand, but also to the installation ofhuge and more modern plants withgreatly increased outputs meeting aninflated labour market.. This meansthat already production capacity hasoutstripped demand there.

In England and the Continent, pro-duction is increasing month by month,and there are more works in the pro-cess of erection but not yet in pro-duction. Being so far away from theworld's great industrial centres, wecannot know or appreciate what anadventure into steelmaking means, norhow costly it can be. Let us make acomparison. Take sheets: New Zea-land's consumption is about 30,000 tonsper annum. A continuous sheet millhas been erected in Germany, the firstof its style there, with a capacity of500,000 tons per annum, and that isonly one mill. Two are being erectedin England, and there are several inAmerica. For New Zealand, even tosuggest rolling sheets looks like usinga steam hammer to crack a peanut.

The Brassert Report of 1935 estimatedan expenditure of about £3,000,000, butto carry out the New Zealand schememuch more would be required now,unless pur Government has in mind a ivery much modified scheme, and, ofcourse, that is equally absurd. Froman economic point of view that wouldbe the steam hammer and the peanutagain. The position is now as it al-ways has been. New Zealand has notthe population to warrant the installa-tion of a steel works,-and make it aneconomic proposition, and with theAustralian, Japanese, Indian, UnitedStates, Canadian, and South Africanmarkets closed to,us, where are we to(send our surplus steel? Steel can bemade in New Zealand under the Bras- ]sert proposals, but at what a price! If ]the"Government persists in this doubt- iful undertaking, there can be one re- jsuit only, and that is dearer steeL Inany case, it will take a prphibitive dutyto keep Australian steel out, if not atotal embargo.

The whole proposal is so surprisingthat one must come to the conclu- 1sion that either it is an election ges- <ture, or else this Government cannot <think any more clearly than the last <one, for it is common report that the 'late Government was greatly im- ipressed with the scheme and intendedto go ahead with it. Mr. Holyoake'srecent remarks would tend to con-firm this. ' c

.There are two or three points in 1connection with the scheme worthmentioning. The first is the question ■*of labour. Most of the skilled labour twill have to be imported from over-seas, so that for some six to eight tyears the establishment of steel works "will not greatly relieve New Zealand'sunemployment. Secondly, all theseimported operatives work on piece-work rates which, it is understood, areanathema to the Labour Party. Willthey leave their piece-work jobs iabroad for a weekly wage here? Only JL£ the weekly wage approximates thepiece-work rate. Further, the Bras-sert scheme is based onthe steel works Irunning their own ships; does the Gov-ernment contemplate entering theshipping industry?

The Brassert report states that pro-vided the Government will contributeabout £87,500 to the cost of the works,plus a bonus of 35s on pig iron 'and .Iss per ton on steel, the iproposition 1will not only pay, but pay well. After 1allowing for depreciation and inter- iest, the report estimates a return of <13.6 per cent, on capital invested. If cthis is so, it is beyond doubt thatvested interests would have taken up cthis proposition long ago, but they didnot! Why? If it is not good enoughfor them, then our own Governmentshould look for the nigger in the wood-pile before it commits itself too deeply.So far as one can learn, Messrs. Bras-sert and Company are consulting enrgineers and, as such, can only reporton the facts of the position as set be-fore them. Has any check been madeby the Government from this pointof view, and by wvhom? At the pre-sent time,. is there anyone in NewZealand competent to report on sucha proposal? Such could only be doneby a steelmaker and one who knew cthe whole ramification of the subject *from works erection to the finished 1product. It is not yet too late to ob-, }tain the 'services of such an expert Jand the Government would be doing *itself, and/the people of New Zealand 'a service if it delayed matters and £sent for an overseas expert to re- c.port. . On the other hand, there is ino doubt that an inspection of theNewcastle Steel Works by a memberof the Cabinet, preferably the Minis- 3ter in Charge of the Steel Works Bill, £would goa longway to show him that *the installation of steel works in New *Zealand is a matter that wants long .Jand careful consideration even after sexpert opinion has been consultedand has given its views. t

There is no need for such haste. If sthe present Government is going back Ito the Treasury benches next Novem- rber, why rush this matter?" It meansan expenditure of millions. Is money,'.or spending power, or public credit soeasy that this Government, which wasnot slow, when in opposition, to com-plain of the waste of public money dueto ill-considered expenditure, can af- T.ford to take e*ven the slightest chance }of now throwing it away when there *are other pressing needs? *Finally, let us look .at the matter *from a Dominion point of view What *benefits will the establishment of steel *works confer on New Zealand? The \Government will say that they will *protect New Zealand from a shortage cof steel in the future. The recent .shortage has been due to abnormalconditions which were unprecedentedand not likely to occur again. Canwe afford to base our policy on the ab-normal? In this connection, it may besuggested that much of the presentshortage in New Zealand is due to theGovernment's own abnormal spending.Admitting that we are going to. haveour own supply, can any reasonableman affirm that New Zealand's annualconsumption of steel and steel manu-factures, about 120,000 tons, can beturned out here at a price competitivewith those from overseas where indi-vidual works are turning out moresteel in a month than New Zealandrequires in a year? If the price is notcompetitive, then we will be forced topay very dearly for the experiment.Why not give the £3,000,000 group Mr.Holyoake declares is waiting to makea start the rights for ten years? At theend of the ten years this group wouldhave had returned to them £136 forevery £100 invested, according to theBrassert Report, and this is not a badrecompense for any risks run. Whenthe ten years were up the Governmentcould then take over a successfulworks as a going concern at a yalua-tion and on conditions previouslyagreed upon or, if a failure, just letvested interests fade out as well asthey can. It is to be hoped that theGovernment will not allow itself to bestampeded into rash action.—l am.etc.,

END OF SESSION

SOME TIME NEXTWEEK

MR. SAVAGE EMPHATIC"We are definitely getting out of

here next week, and are aiming atWednesday," said the Prime Minister(the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage) whenasked to indicate the probable lengthof the session.

"The things that must be passedwill be passed, and those that canstand over will have to stand over,"said Mr. Savage. The Iron and SteelIndustry Bill and the PensionsAmendment Bill were two measures inthe former category. There would bea Finance Bill that would include pro-visions dealing with taxation anoma- jlies. He did not think that an ImprestBill would be necessary, as the Appro-priation Bill would meet the position.

Mr. Savage said that the present sit-ting of the House was being cut shortto enable the Parliamentary Commit-tee on superannuation and health toget under way during the recess. Thefinal session of the present Parliamentwas unlikely to start earlier tnanusual. On present indications a startwould be made at the normal time inJdHe. It was obvious that the Com-mittee would take some time, not onlyto hear evidence, but also to draft itsreport.

I LATE CAPTAIN KANE

PACIFIC SHIPPING

RESUMPTION OF SERVICE

AN AUCKLAND REPORT

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

AUCKLAND, This Day.News that the Oceanic and Oriental

Steam Navigation Company, a subsid-iary of the Matson Line, is contem-plating resuming Pacific Coast-NewZealand-Australia cargo trade withthree 13-knot freighters, was broughtby the Mariposa. The Auckland agentsstated that they have no knowledgeof such a move, although they knewit had been freely reported in theUnited States Press.

The service was carried on for manyyears by the once familiar "Golden"ships; but they have not been regulartraders here for years. . The demandfor cargo space the world over andJapanese influence in the Pacific arestated to be contributory factors.

There also is good reason to believethat either British or American pas-senger liners operating in the America-New,Zealand-Australia run will shortlymake regular calls at Tahiti.

NOTED SURGEON

VISIT TO DOMINION

TREATING HEAD INJURIES

s One of the leading brain surgeonsof the United States, Dr. G. W. Swift,of Seattle, arrived at Auckland by theAorangi last night on a brief visit toNew Zealand, before continuing toSydney to lecture to the Roya] Aus-tralasian College of Surgeons, says the"New Zealand Herald" of today Dr.Swift, who is a former president ofthe Pan-Pacific Surgical Associationand the Pacific North-west Medical As-sociation, was accompanied by Mrs.Swift.

Representing the American Collegeof Surgeons, Dr. Swift will lecture inboth New Zealand and Australia. Hehas made, a special study of the treat-ment of head injuries, and referredlast night to the great increase in suchinjuries, and to the progress made incuring patients in recent years.

LAWS POORLY ENFORCED."Accidents' have increased a hundred-

fold in the last 20 years," Dr. Swiftsaid. "In the United States the figureis very high, because the laws havebeen poorly/ enforced, and we havenot convinced the authorities of theneed for better laws, and for roads by-passing settlements. Thirty per cent,of head injury cases are caused direct-ly or indirectly as a result of alcohol.This is 20 per cent, less than whenProhibition was in vogue—which doesnot mean that we are drinking less,but that it is better liquor.

"Only 10 per cent, of head injurycases prove fatal now; 20 years agothe figure was 60 per cent.," Dr. Swiftcontinued. "In a case of head injury,if you can get a patient over the first48 hours you are likely to save hislife, but the great trouble is thateverybody Wants to do something.People want X-rays taken, consulta-tions, visits by the family, and evenby lawyers if the victim is a man ofmeans.

OPERATIONS RARE.

* "We"used to operate in 50 per cent,of the cases, but we rarely do so now,unless to stop bleeding. One of thegreatest advances in the treatment ofhead injuries is in the hospitals. TheAmerican College of Surgeons has in-sisted on complete equipment in \allhospitals with 20 beds or more. Re-sults of an investigation show that thesmaller hospitals give better treatmentthan the large .private hospitals withhead injury cases, because patients getundivided attention, which is whatsaves lives." ■The rapid Increase,in the number ofhead-injury cases in the United Stateswas attributed by Dr. Swift largely tothe motor-car, which; he said, not onlysometimes injured those itravelling init, but others as well The law had notbeen kept up with the increase inthe number of cars in use, thoughsome American citieshad helped to im-prove the situation by widening streets,resulting in fewer accidents.

Dr. and Mrs. Swift will visit Wel-lington before continuing their trip toSydney. 'DELAYED BY STORM

NATIONAL INCOME

STATUS OF ECONOMIST

ARE WE LIGHTLYTAXED?

MR. MAZENGARB IN REPLY

The following comments were madetoday by Mr. O. C. Mazengarb inanswer to the defence of Mr. ColinClark, published last Friday by Mr.Ormond Wilson, M.A. (Oxon), Govern-ment member for Rangitikei:—

"Mr. Ormond Wilson, M.P., has nowentered the lists in order to prop upthe reputation of Mr. Colin Clark, ofCambridge. The only answer of thePrime Minister to my criticism oftMr.Clark's conclusions was that I was 'adefeated candidate at last election.1But when Mr. Wilson sees the pub-lished returns at the three Parliamen-tary election's in which Mr. Colin Clarkwas at the bottom of the poll, he feels'that < a slur has been cast upon thereputation' of his friend. He then pro-ceeds as if I were not aware of Mr.Clark's status as. a lecturer in eco-nomics and a recent contributor to theliterature on national income. He failsto appreciate that my objection was tothe Government's extravagant andexaggerated eulogy of Mr. Clark andits failure to disclose to us his affilia-tion with the Labour Party in Eng-land. Now that the true facts areknown here, Mr. Clark cannot alto-gether be accepted as impartial in hisappraisement of Labour's policy inNew Zealand.

"It did not occur either to the PrimeMinister or to Mr. Ormond Wilson,M.P., that if Mr. Clark were 'worldfamous' and 'brilliant' as an economist,there should be no need for them toproclaim that fact so boldly, and vigor-ously. Good wine needs no Ibush. Nordo reviews and individual apprecia-tions of a book published last yearbring Mr.. Clark up. to the standardof those great economists (named byme) who pioneered the study of na-tional incomes and enjoyed a widereputation even before Mr. Clark andMr. Wilson were boys at school.

"THE INTELLIGENTSIA.""That is just the weakness with a

small few of the recent products ofEnglish university education.' Theyimmediately elevate themselves intothe 'world famous' class and frownupon .thereputation of those who havegone before them. The Hon. P. C.Webb noticed this tendency in Augustlast when he said that after the LabourParty had been established by 'usroughies,' some of 'the intelligentsia'came along with a couple of pigeon'seggs in their mouths and told theLabour Party what they ought to do.It was doubtless graduates like Mr.Colin Clark and Mr. Ormond Wilson,M.P., whom Mr. Webb had in mind.

"Mr. Clark appears to haVe left somePress clippings in the possession ofMr. Ormond Wilson as a referee in.case of need. He might have • per-formed a greater service if he .hadgiven him for publication the figuresupon which he based his estimate ofour national' income. Instead of offi-cial figures, or figures which can bechecked, we have his bare conclusionthat New Zealand is the second lowesttaxed among twelve of the principalcountries of the world. '

INCREASE IN TAXATION."If Mr. Clark and Mr. Ormond Wil-

son are right,- then the propaganda ofthe Labour, Party at last, election wasderhonstrably wrong because:, 1. Mr. Savage stated shortly be-

fore the polling .that taxation hadbeen 'overdone' and 'further -taxa-tion was out of the question.'

2. Mr. Semple proclaimed pic-turesquely that 'taxation had alreadyreached, the dizzy limit' ,"That was Labour in Opposition.

After increasing the taxation bill byapproximately 50 per cent., Labour inpower now prepares the way for afurther increase by featuring the con-clusions of Mr. Clark 'that New Zea-land is a comparatively lightly-taxedcountry.'

"What next? The Socialists werecertainly better at bowling than theyare at defending their own wicket."

WIND DIFFICULTIES

PARACHUTE JUMP

DRAGGED ACROSS FIELD(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

HAMILTON, This Day.An unexpected thrill was provided

for 500 spectators at the Waikato AeroClub's airport at Rukuhia yesterday,when, jumping from a height of 1800feet, the Hamilton parachutist, L. E. A.Hayward, encountered difficulties in astrong southerly wind and was carriedwell beyond the confines of the aero-drome. He landec^ in a paddock halfa mile away.

When the aeroplane was 1800 feet upits nose was pointed into the wind toallow the parachutist to take off to thesouth of the landing field. Haywardclimbed on to the wing, but the windpressure was so great that he had torelinquish his hold before he was pro-perly ready. /Realising the danger inbeing carried too far in the 40-milegale, he delayed opening the,parachutefor 500 feet, but when it opened hewas carried across the field at a fastpace.1 From the ground he was seen to tugdesperately at the cords to arrest thefast rate of drift, but his efforts wereunavailing, and he disappeared fromview towards the north end of theflying field. After clearing a roadand paddock he was dragged violent-ly 300 yards across uneven ground, hiswild career being eventually broughttt a stop when the parachute becameentangled in a barb-wire fence.

Except for minor bruises Haywardwas uninjured. A further descentwas cancelled owing to damage to theparachute.

DELAY IN LANDING

A THROUGH STREET

(To the Editor.)Sir—I feel that the proposal of

the Wellington branch of the 'TownPlanning Institute in regard to 'theextension of Cable Street' through theCorporation "yard to Oriental Paradewill have the. support and commen-dation of Wellingtbniahs generally andof thousands of motorists. Simple,plain, and straightforward planningdoes not appear to be the policy ofour City Council ,which is guilty ofmakeshift and wasteful constructionwork at the ratepayers' expense; with-out proper planning that would be ofreal benefit to the present and futuregenerations. A casual look at Wel-lington's layout will make anyonewonder why councils followed thelines of the bullock tracks in the dayswhen they were not faced with thecostly problems such as the wideningof Manners Street presents today.

The extension of Cable Streetthrough the Corporation yard ' doesnot present any such costly difficul-ties. No one will agree that the Cor-poration requires so extensive a yardin the centre of a city for efficientworking, so why deprive the commun-ity of a safe and practically straightthoroughfare which can be made im-mediately without the delay and costof acquiring city properties? The'ex-tension should be made as wide aspossible 'Whilst the opportunity exists,to give this city some of the dignityand prestige that it craves. It is some-what' difficult fpr people to knowwhether our harbour is really morethan a pond, when we are denied evena view of the sea by unsightly shedsalong the waterfront in this locality.—I am. etc..

"A STRANGE POLICY"

HIGHER TARIFFS

SACRIFICING THE FARMERSSurprise at the action of the Gov-

ernment in increasing Customs dutiesin a country which derives its in-come mainly from', agricultural and/pastoral industries was expressed byMr. C. W> Budd, president of the

IUnited Kingdom Manufacturers' andNew Zealand Representatives' Asso-!ciation, at a meeting of the council of|the association today.[ "The^ Government has decided toadopt higher tariffs as a policy, andthis in spite' of the fact that NewZealand is chiefly an agricultural andpastoral country, from which indus-tries practically the whole of itswealth has been directly and in-directly obtained," said Mr. Budd. "Itis indeed strange that in this countrywe find a Government without anyland policy and willing to sacrificeevery interest of the-farmers in orderto bolster up secondary industries bya system of excessively high tariffs.

"While this policy is being car-ried out in New Zealand, we find theHigh Commissioner recently inBirmingham emphasising the fact thatone must buy where one sells if acontinuity of reciprocal trade is tobe maintained,.and yet because of thiscontradiction of ideas we have shipscoming out to New Zealand in ballast.Surely there must be a misunder-standing at one end or the other. Fur-ther, we have had the Minister ofMarketing begging Britain not to puteven a small tariff on New Zealandproduce; informing them of the greatwrong that would be done. Have notthe farmers of Great Britain the sameright to protection as the New Zea-land manufacturer? ' ("It is being definitely recognised thatit is the extension of the idea of in-tense nationalism that is causing somuch unrest throughout ■ the coun-tries of the world. Here we haveMinisters of the Crown preaching re-ciprocity, good will, and co-operationover the whole international field andyet doing the very thing to preventthe maintenance of the good will thathas been built up in the past.

INTERESTS IN CHINA

CUSTOMS REVENUE

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS| The Royal Institute or International!Affairs, in a recent survey of the posi-ition, records that the best availableestimate of foreign investments inChina, excluding Manchuria, placesthem at just under £500,000,000 in1931. British, investments accountedfor nearly half of this total; Japanaccounts for a further 24 per cent.,followed by the United States andFrance (both 8 per cent.), while Bel-gian, German, Italian, and Dutch in-terests are considerably smaller.

Rather less than one-third of theseinvestments, it is pointed out, consistof Chinese Government obligations,and these fall into three distinct cate-gories: Loans secured on the MaritimeCustoms, loans secured on the SaltGabelle, and railway loans carryingthe Government guarantee.

The service of the loans secured onthe Customs has never been interrupt-ed. It took £4,636,000, or 30 per cSnt.of the total net Customs revenue, in1936. Since 1932 the Customs revenuefrom Manchurian ports has not beenavailable for the loans. Moreover, inthe past few years smuggling ofJapanese goods into North China hasassumed very serious proportions.Even more serious, it is pointed out.is the situation created by theJapanese conquest of Shanghai, Tient-sin, and other northern ports. ForShanghai alone accounted for 46 percent, of the total Customs revenue in1936, and Tientsin provided a further11 per cent.

More than two-thirds of the foreigncapital in China consist of business in-vestments—chiefly foreign trading,manufacturing, real estate, banking,and finance, shipping, mining, and pub-lic utilities.

British investments cover a verywiderange. Japanese capital is chieflyinvested in shipping, cotton factoriesin Shanghai, and iron mines in theYangtse Valley. Important Americaninvestments include the ShanghaiPower Company, the Shanghai Tele-phone Company, the National CityBank, and carpet factories in Tientsinand Peiping. ,

No less than two-thirds of the totalforeign business investments in Chinaare invested in Shanghai, the chiefcountries interested being GreatBritain (£152,000,000), Japan(£44,000,000), the U.S.A. (£20,000,000).and France (£8,000,000).

The United States remains the chiefsource of imports into China, with 20per cent., owing primarily to hersharing the supply of mineral oils withthe Netherlands Indies,, which has 8per cent. Since 1933 Germany andJapan have advanced considerably, butthe United States has maintained itsposition, with 12 per cent, of the trade.

The Royal Institute of InternationalAffairs gives the following figuresshowing foreign investments in 1931:—Great Britain: Business investments,£198,000,000; Government obligations,£46,000,000. Japan: £73,000,000 and£46,000,C00. U.S.A.: £32,000,000 and£9,000,000. Other Powers have smallerholdings.

SMALL LOAN SERVICEThe Australian, Federal Ministry Is

establishing facilities for loans to per-sons of small means, and will endea-vour to make the procedure as simpleas possible. It is hoped that the smallloans service will be undertakenshort-ly by private enterprise. The Minis-try's proposal is that in ordinary cir-cumstances advances should be made(on the security of good character andthe reasonable expectation of continuedemployment, so tnat the loan may berepaid in manageable instalments in areasonable period. An essential tothe scheme is that the rate of interestshould be substantially lower than that,now prevailing on- unsecured privateloans. Applicants for loans will prob-ably have to furnish satisfactory evi-dence of character and evidence of em-ployment, and the probability of re-taining it. In some cases evidence ofhealth may also be needed., Rates ofrepayment will'probably be on astand-ard weekly basis, which will take intoaccount both the amount of the loanand the income of the borrower.

MORELLO IN FORM

VVELLINdTON TROTS

DOUBLE TO WALTER WRACK:■: (By "RiidjonWOOd.")High light of some stirring contests

at the Wellington Trotting Club'sAutumn Meeting on Saturday was thebrilliant: burst of speed turned on byMprello and Blair Athol, who foughtout .thei"finish of the R. A. Armstrong

Memorial Handicap and paced the lastquarter in 29 4-ssec, a tick better thantwo-minute speed. Morello, who wasin front for a mile and five furlongs,set his opponents an impossible task.

Walter Wrack, after a reversal- ofplacings in the Palmer Handicap,brought his record to four consecutivewins at Hutt Park. He has been anoutstanding trotter at the last two. meetings, but his mistakes are still toofrequent for him to be described as agood sample of the pure-gaited per-former. .He may never be that, andall credit-must go to H.-B. Berry forthe results he has obtained with ahorse who failed badly under severalother'trainers.. ; . .• The high-class field. of sprinters thatcontested the Farewell Handicap gavethe public plenty of thrills. The locally-owned mare Frisco Lady eventually•beat the hot favourite King's Playrather well after the latter had battled

1 his way through a rough passage.Canterbury stables won seven of the

eight events, and the remaining onewent to L. O. Thomas with Sewana.Auckland:stables .were responsible forsome expensive failures. J. T. Paul'spair, Eyre and ;Axminster, went very.disappointingly;-■.■■' .'

ON HIS LONESOME.Walter Wrack did little right in the

early stages of the Randwick Handi-cap, but when R. B. Berry got the biggeldings straightened out to trot pro-perly he made the opposition look likeso many cab horses having their annualouting at a country picnic. From therear he began gathering in the fieldwith five furlongs to go, and he wasclear: of Arapai just after passing thethree furlongs post. He continued todraw away, and won by half a dozenlengths..

A break at the far turn the last timecost Welcome Guy second place, forhe settled down again to finish fastonly half a length behind Arapai, who,with'Triangle, was the only one to gospiidly throughout.

.Triangle had every possible chance,but he went at the one pace, and itwasa long way short of requirements.Reward^ also lacked speed. GracieFields 'broke badly at the start andagain after.going half a mile, and shefinished a long way back.■ Since joining R. B. Berry's stableWalter Wrack has excelled himself, andit will "be interesting to know whathislimit might be... He is an aged browngelding of tremendous and coarsephysique by Wrack from Maori Belle,and; is owned by Mrs. K. C. Oldfleld,•nf Christchurch..

WON FULL OF RUNNING.■Fenella and Sewana. gave a lot oftrouble' at the start of the Autumn

' Handicap, but Fenella eventually beganwell, and, taking charge from Trans-well.in the first quarter, she easily heldhef: place and won full of running bysix lengths. •Itwas one of the easiestwins seenin a maiden, event for a longtime. ■ - •i' iTranswell was scratching to keep,

-near'Fenella all the way, but he haano trouble in taking second placethree lengths clear of Guy Zolock, who

.•just-got up:to beat Sans Pareil.

' A smart run at the end of four fur-longs" took Sans Pareil up to the lead-ers, but he was in trouble before the-Home.turn. .... ■ ' ."Sewana lost ground at the start and

showed up fairly well in the middlestages. Relax was a poor fifth. ;"Fenella'is a five-year-old roan mareby Wellington Direct from a FourChimes mare. Sheis owned by Mr.W.T. Lowe and trained by R; B. Berry.

,uf-; .;-,pA SOUND BEATING.

' ' Mariene gave ten smart pacers startsand a thorough beating in the WainuiHandicap. She had to cover someground, "but is well served with stam-ina, and when the speedy Intrigue cameat her half a furlong from the postshe stuck on in most determinedfashion to win by about half a length.Intrigue is staying better now, but hestill has only ashort run to call upon,and' may never shine beyond a mileand a half. ■, ' :.. .

Connenorawas full of running at thefinish but could not get an opening,and was beaten a length into thirdplace; The next two to arrive wereEffie Parrish and Diversion, who werealmost in line. Ropata went a fairrace;-.■.-... , ,

Eyre went away at a tangle, andwas soon in the discard, where sheremained. Happi tired after helpingwith the pace.

Mariene, a four-year-old bay mareby Jack Potts from Auditress, hasbeen very,consistent, andshould soonwin again.

FAVOURITE WINS HANDSOMELY.Morello showed the rest of the field

a clean pair of liSels in the R. A. Arm-strong Memorial Handicap, and nowonder; he ran the last half-mile inlmin 1 4-ssec, and the last quarterat better than two-minute speed, giv-ing the others a very thin chance ofcatching (him.

With the exception of Lady' Fame,who broke after two furlongs, theyraced in close formation for a mileand three-quarters, with Morello infront for the last mile and five fur-longs. : Blair Athol was pocketed onthe fence until the home turn, and hemade a gallant bid in the run home toget within a length of the winner. Itwas1 an honest performance.

Frisco Lady had everything made toorder for her—a pacemaker and a runon the fence most of the way, but sheagain failed to stay, and was nearlythree lengths-away third. FernbrookLass and Agile were next.

Morello was a good two-year-old andthree-year-old, but he lost his formlater on. During the last, two sea-sons he has shown occasional flashesof brilliant form, and he is now cap-able of winning over all distances. Heis a lean type of long-striding chestnutpacer by- Rey de Oro.from Moonlit.arid is owned by his breeder, Mr. A.

Lawrence, of Christchurch. He istrained at Methven by M. C. McTigue,who drove him confidently on Satur-day"

TROUBLE IN A HEAP.Things began to happen in earnest

when it came to the last quarter ofthe Palmer Handicap, and the upshotof it all was that the judicial commit-tee held an inquiry and resolved that

' the judge's placings, Welcome Guyand Walter Wrack, be reversed, giv-ing .Walter Wrack his second successof the day.

Gracie Fields led all the way tothat stage, when Walter Wrack broke(it was his second lapse on the jour-ney) and Welcome Guy shot awayfrom Gracie Fields, who had left her

feet. Welcome Guy had a clear leadfrom WalterWrack at the distance, butWalter Wrack, although very tired, wasreducing the gap. About 30 yardsfrom the post he had almost drawnlevel when Welcome Guy went to abrer1: and galloped the rest of thejourney, beating Walter Wrack by ahead. Many thought Walter Wrackbroke on the post, but the official ver-dict was that he reached the linejust before he misfired.

Gracie Fields was three lengthsawaythird, and Tan John, from 108yds,was a fair fourth. The others werenot in the race over the last furlong.It was really a two-horse affair atthe business end.

Walter Wrack has now won at hislast four starts on the course. His ex-hibitions can scarcely be described asthe "poetry of motion," but he has atorrent of speed. It is doubtful ifthe class she beat was strong, and hewill now have to meet much betterhorses in Canterbury.

POPULAR, OVERDUE WIN.Sewana came into his own at long

last when he finished strongly to cutdowi. Mongolian and Max Havoc inthe last 100 yards of the Taita NoviceHandicap. They were not a good lot,but Sewana could do no more thanwin, and he rewarded the patience oflocal trainer L. O. Thomas, who hashad an anxious time keeping the un-sound brother to Roi lOr on his feet.Sewana is owned by Mr. N. Horscroft,who secured him from Mr. S. Hewer,owner of Biworthy.

Mongolian battled on gamely. Itwas his first race, and he began betterthan even his connections expected.Max Havoc was in front halfway downthe straight, but his effort from 36ydsfound him out. Axminster showednothing in keeping with his reputa-tion. He was fourth.

Transwell petered out on the hometurn, and Fenella turned round at thestart and left her backers high anddry.

FORM WORKS OUT.Connenpra, who had been third ear-

lier in the day, finished on too solidlyfor the favourite Intrigue in the Wai-wetu Handicap. She was always firstor second, and Intrigue never lookedlike overhauling her in the run home.Intrigue is an honest customer, and arace should soon come his way. especi-ally at a mile and a quarter.

Diversion, who was two lengthsaway third, streaked to the front withtwo and a half furlongs to go. Al-though she stopped at the end,,her per-formance was an improvement on re-cent efforts, and Thomas has nearlycured her of boring.

Ropata was in front in the middlepart, but he did not go on with it.Eyre again went badly. _

Connenora is owned by, Messrs. E.and G. L. Rutherford, and is; trainedbyM. B. Edwards. She is a four-year-

old by Travis Axworthy from Millie deOro, a speedy mare who won races.

SPRINTING HER FORTE.Frisco Lady was brilliant in winning

the Farewell Handicap from a particu-larly high-class field. She took thelead within half a mile, and just whenKing's Play and Frisco Boy were mak-ing their bid crossing the top, sheslipped away again and had a three-lengths' lead at the straight entrance.When in hot pursuit Morello andKing's Play both went to a tangle, andFrisco Lady beat King's Play, whocaught his gait smartly, by threelengths. Bonny Azure, a length anda half away, was a.clear third, goinga

Friscorßoy broke at the start and

lost 12yds. He andKing's Play had agreat duel in the back the last time,Ind King's Play had to cover much«tea ground as a result. Fnscc.Boywas beaten at the distance. WillieDerby, Agile, and Fernbrook Lasswere among the early leaders; theclass was a bit beyond them.

Frisco Lady, who-is owned by theMessrs. August/Bros., is. a neat littlechestnut mare by Jack 'Potts fromDaisy Pointer. Sheaspacer, and is seen at herbest up to amile and a half.

RANGITIKEI CUP

BRAZEN KING'S WIN

OPEN SPRINT TO AUREUS

(By "Binocular.")Favoured with fine weather, al-

though the easterly wind had a keenedge in the closing portion of theIafternoon, the Rangitikei RacingClub's Autumn Meeting on Saturdayproved to be a complete success, thegate returns showing an increase ofno less than £73 over the March fix-ture and were £30 above the Octobergathering. It was only natural thatthe totalisator should also show an in-crease, the turnover of £12,635 repre-senting an increase of 33 per cent,over the corresponding meeting last

The track was slightly on the hardside and it probably played a part to-wards the reduced fields which wereforthcoming in some instances, onerace finding only five runners go tothe post, and on three occasions onlysix horses were presented. The rac-ing was interesting, nevertheless, sev-eral of the finishes being particularlyclose. The victory of Brazen Kingin the Rangitikei Cup was clearly de-fined, but where the open and hacksprints were concerned, the winningmargin was small indeed.

A COMFORTABLE WIN.Despite being badly drawn at the

barrier, Ambition was made a firmfavourite for the Trial Plate, but agood jump-out enabled him to1 workto the front almost immediately andhe was untroubled thereafter. Al-though he has done little racing, thewinner had shown promising form atMarton in the spring, running secondto LadyvMontana on that occasion, andhis track work at Awapuni had point-ed to an early success. He is a four-year-old roan gelding by Gainscourtfrom a mare by King Soult, and car-ries the colours of Mr. Russell Grace,of Wanganui.

The disappointing Scarf Dance be-gan well, but the Limond filly failedto hold,her place, Huntino,' RollingHome, Lady Whetu, and Highball allrunning ahead of her in the secondfurlong, but she was finishingon againat the post to fill third place, a neckbehind the aptly named Rolling Home,who rah a very creditable race with-out being actually dangerous to thewinner. Huntino was nicely placedbehind the two leaders turning forhome, but he did not handle the turnover well and had to be content withfourth place. Princess Isabel, High-ball, Protectress, and Lacan are like-ly improvers. On the home turn LadyWhetu stopped badly, Scarf Dancegetting on to her heels, the incidentcosting the latter ground at a criticalstage.

A COMPLETE SURPRISE.The public were caught napping in

the Pukehou Hurdles when Burghley,the outsider of the field of six run-ners, held off Hirangi to win by halfa neck. It was his first outing in therole in public, but his prominent show-ing throughout indicated .that furthersuccesses lie ahead, despite the factthat he comes from an unknownfamily. He is by Arausio, whose stockhave shown ability in the game, fromthe King Mark mare Tragic, whotraces back to the imported mare Agi-tation. None of the dam's stock havemade names for themselves, and fewof her own brothers and sisters provedto be other than mediocre racing pro-positions.

The novice members in the field,Kio, Hazoor,1end Burghley were pro-minent throughout until Kio tippedout going along the back. At thisstage Hazoor had assumed commandand he was going so easily that hepromised to be the winner, but twofences from home he ran outwards tomake a slow jump and both Burghleyand Hirangi ran past him with a sharpburst of speed. Hazoor failed to makeup the leeway thereafter and Burgh-ley, who had.secured the inside run-ning, held off Hirangi in the run hometo win by half a neck. Hazoor wasfour lengths bade, andi then cameRoyal Romance :at another interval.Royal Limond found the pace too hotfor him and the going too hard, beingalways in the rear. He looked verywell, nevertheless.

A THRILLING FINISH.A snap start saw the outer horses

in the Ngaio Hack Handicap beginbest, Conversion getting away well.He held his place right into thestraight, where half 'a dozen horsesjoined issue, and Gay Molly finisheda shade the best to win going awayby a head from Conversion and Cap-tain Treville, who crossed the lineon terms. The winner, who won asa two-year-old at Pahiatua last sea-son, has grown into a very solid three-year-old. She is by Laughing Princefrom that good racing daughter ofPanmure, Mandane, whose earlierprogeny, Evasion and Mirth (also byLaughing Prince), were both some-what disappointing. Gay Molly car-ries the colours of Mr. N. Blackmore,of Palmerston North, who also racedthe dam.

In the betting the public went solid-ly for Conversion and Trebor, thepair being equally favourites. Bothran creditable races, but whereas theformer was well placed throughout,Trebor was one of the inner horses tosuffer at the barrier rise and he hadconsiderable ground to make up overthe last half-mile. Golden Ridgeshowed a lot of speed and he shoulddo better when the sting is put of theground. State Bank, who had drawnNo. 1, failed to begin and he driftedto the rear to make no impressionthereafter.

BRAZEN KING AGAIN.After allowing Old Surrey to set thepace right to the distance in the Rangi-

tikei Cup, Brazen' King then ran pastto win without being troubled by agood two lengths from the pacemaker.At Wanganui, Brazen King had sig-nalled his transfer to the stable of theyoung Marton trainer, F. McHugh, bywinning the Wanganui Cup at his firstouting since the change of quarters,and Saturday's success brought to hisowner, Mr. D. Lourie, of TurakinaValley, his second Rangitikei Cup,Grand Jury having won for him in1932. The time, 2min 7sec, put vtp bythe Australian-bred gelding, was thefastest since Marguerite established acourse record of 2min 6 3-ssec in 1907.

Although Old Surrey was holdingan advantage of four lengths six fur-longs from home, he was never al-lowed to get far away, Middle, BrazenKing, and Play On being in behindhim as they swung round the far turn.The Hunting Song gelding was thefirst to straighten up, but when askedthe question Brazen King quickly de-posed the leader. However, Old Sur-rey held on well enough to beatMiddle, with Arctic King, who hadTun up three furlongs from home, an-other half a length back. It was quitea good performance on the part ofthe last-named, for it was his first out-ing since last October. The distancefound out Play On, and Terry did notappreciate the hard going.

OPENED HIS ACCOUNT.After having shown promising form

on occasion without being able to geton the winning list, Amatory narrow-ly won the Greatford Hack Handicap,a mile-and-a-distance event He wasdoing it well 50 yards from home, buthe' had to be stirred •up to hold offRoyal Choice, who finished strongly toget to within a short neck of the win-ner at the post. In his sprint racesAmatory had given evidence of stay-ing on and his success, which wasrather overdue, came in a longer race.By the Tea Tray horse Kiosk, Ama-tory is a son of the Glenullin mareGold Peak, the dam of Royal Peak,but whereas his elder full-brother wasbred by Mr. J. L. Fogarty, of Tara-naki, Amatory was bred by Mr. R. _H.Quayle. However, he races in the in-terests of Messrs. L. McD. and E. A.Carvell, of Wanganui.

Ilias, who was favourite for theevent, was early forced out of therunning as a result of her rider losingan iron, and she was eased up a longway from home. Earl Colossus madea bold bid for the honours, but he wasbeaten for pace over the final pinch,and Malibu, who was next to finish,appeared to be a bit tender when hewent down in his preliminary and hefailed to do himself justice.

RED SAND UNLUCKY.Promoted to open company in the

Bailey Memorial Handicap, Aureus

won nicely at the finish, although onthe face of the running it appeared asthough Red Sand was somewhat un-lucky not to gain the award, for hecame Xrom well back to finish overeverything, just failing to catch Au-reus, a neck separating them. Aureusis by that sire of speed, Gascony, andcomes from the All Black mare Aure-ate, who was a daughter of Aurarius,a sister to the famous Desert Gold, andin her hack racing she had shown afund of piace, her successes includinga meritorious win in strong companyat Trentham last January-

Red Sand, the unlucky runner,failed to foot it with the quintet inthe early stages and, with the excep-tion of Jubilee Song, he was at therear of the field three furlongs fromhome. He made up some of his lee-way crossing the top, but he was stand-ing up Great Hope, who had been inthe front after the first furlong anda half, and Aureus a considerable ad-vantage as they straightened up. Hefinished over everything, just failing toreach Aureus. Great Hope held onwell, being only a nose away, and thencame Lone Raider, who ran wide atthe straight entrance to lose ground.Aiwai showed a fund of early speed,but she suddenly drifted crossing thetop, although she did not disappearcompletely from the picture.

FIELD THINS DOWN.Of the original 14 acceptors for the

Santoft Handicap, the concludingevent, only five went to the post, andbackers went solidly for the improvedAlloa, but the Grand Knight geldinghad to be content with third place,War Lap and Joe Louis beating himhome. The winner, who is by Lapi-dary from Wioletta, does not win outof his turn, but he gives evidence ofimproving with age.

From a perfect start, Alloa forgedto the front only to almost immedi-ately give way to War Lap and JoeLouis, and the two leaders held theirpositions right into the straight whereWar Lap drew to the front. Alloa se-cured an opening on the fence, butthe favourite could not make any realimpression, War Lap winning by alength and*a Quarter from Joe Louis,with Alloa a neck back and a likemargin in front of Bluffer, who ranwell without being actually danger-ous at any stage. Twilight Song ranbadly, being tailed off at the end ofhalf a mile.

After serving with the NewZealand Forces in the war he went toAustralia in 1919 and had a few horsesin the stable of S. W. Reid, who, likehimself, was a New Zealander. Thebest of them was the brilliant jumperChrysostom, who won the AustralianJockey Club's Steeplechase and severalother races over fences at Randwick.Mr. Nathan also raced Wrangle andGunadorah.

IMPRESSIVE VICTORY

SOVEREIGN LADY

PENINSULA CUP HANDICAP(Special to the "Evening Post.") (

CHRISTCHURCH, March 5.Following rain earlier in the week,

the conditions were pleasant for theBanks Peninsula Racing Club's Meet-ing and the course was in good order.There was a large attendance andsome keen racing was turned on.

There were eighteen starters for theMotukarara Juvenile Stakes, but, asoften happens in these races, most ofthem shaped poorly. Passenger, a five-year-old by Roydon, jumped oS infront, followed by Neatherlea, the win,favourite. The positions did notchange, Passenger winning easily,while Neatherlea stalled off a chal-lenge from Kindly, who will benefitfrom the race, her first since thespring. Lisnacree was next, thenFlame Queen and Night Hawk.

DRACULA'S HIGHWEIGHT.Dracula was soon in front in the

Terawera Highweight Handicap. El-march challenged in the straight, buthe could not get to Dracula, who woneasily. Rabble was third. Nightdressand Grampian failed in the straight.Flashlight finished strongly in fourthplace.

Mr. E. W. Spencer, owner of Rabble,had to run the gauntlet of an inquiryfor failingto notify a joint interest inGas Mask. The stewards decided totake no action, owing to unusual cir-cumstances, as Mr. Spencer was notin the Dominion when nominationswere taken.

With half, the journey gone in theWairewa Trot, Boreas broke and Ere-horn drew away, winning decisively.Acuity finished on strongly to beatBecky Direct for second, a good per-formanceafter a bad start. Attain andStraight were close up, the othersbeing strung out.

ANOTHER SUCCESS.The Peninsula Cup was a great race,

which confirmed the form in the Mid-summer Handicap at Riccarton. Afterleading to the straight Studley Royalweakened. Davolo was going well atthis stage, but in a great finish Sover-eign Lady stayed on to win by a headfrom Waitaka, who beat Davolo by ahead, with Glenogil a neck away. Sil-ver Ring and Some Shamble werenever prominent. Sovereign Lady wonin impressive style. Waitaka ran asolid race and his 71b penalty may havemade the difference between winningand losing. Glenogil ran a good trialfor the Great Northern Oaks.

Financiere, who won two races atthe Hokitika Meeting, confirmed theform by leading most of the way inthe Ahuriri Hack Handicap, and shelooks, on the way to smart sprint form.She is a three-year-old filly by PaperMoney. Nolana, Delium, Sparkle, andNightcalm followed Financiere to thestraight, where Delium and Sparkleweakened, Nolana beating Nightcalmdecisively for second.

GREY HONOUR EASILY.In the Kinloch Handicap, Linguist

set the pace from Rebel Star andMetal Bird, but they all stopped badlyin the straight. Double Gift was thenleft in charge, but Grey Honour cameon to win decisively, and Lady Grace-ful finished well to beat Double Giftfor second. Dictate, after being a longway back, ran home strongly in fourthplace. Ponty and Wino were at thetail of the field most of the way.

Reymere interfered with some of theothers in the Waihora Park Trot Han-dicap when he broke after about threefurlongs. Stylish Boy then tookcharge,but he wasbeaten five furlongsfrom home, Mont dOr going on fromWax Vestas, Karoro, and Evora. MontdOr beat Wax Vestas easily, and Donorcut Karoro out of third. C. J. Mc-Lachlan, the driver of Llewellyn'sPet, was tipped out of the sulky whenReymere broke, but he managed topull his horse up.

The West Coaster Potent was instrong favour for the Forsyth HackHandicap, but though prominent to thestraight he stopped badly. Marohawas well placed at this stage and hehung on to win narrowly. He was,however, lucky to beat Bright Pros-1pect, who was lost at one stage butmade a great run home. GreatBramble finished fast in third place,her best form for some time.

MARAUDER'S SUCCESS

AUSTRALIAN CUP

NEW SIX-FURLONG RECORD

(United Tress Association—By ElectricTelegraph—Copyright.)

MELBOURNE, March 5.The weather was warm and there

was a large attendance for the con-cluding day of the V.R.C. AutumnMeeting at Flemington.

Regular Bachelor finished brilliantlyto win the Leonard Stakes. Amiableran a good race. The wind assistedthe making of Australian record time.

Ajax had' an effortless win in theC. M. Lloyd Stakes, his time beingthree-quarters of a second outside theAustralian and New Zealand record.He has now won £16,850 in stakes.Out of 15 starts he has had 11 winsand three seconds. He is engaged inthe Doncaster Handicap at Sydney,but is likely to be reserved for weight-for-age races. Evening Mist's secondis regarded as a good Doncaster ef-fort, but Ajax outclassed his rivals.The champion Seymour broke downand was beaten into third place in theAutumn Steeplechase.

Marauder was badly placed early,but outstayed the opposition in theAustralian Cup. He has now won fourraces in succession. He began with avictory in the Trial Hurdle at Ascotin September last. His rider, J. O'Sul-livan, won the Melbourne Cup on HallMark. He is raced by a prominentbookmaker, Mr. Wallace Mitchell, whois a big winner as a result of the suc-cess. Le Grand ran a poor race andwas never near the leaders. Lastyear's winner, Mutable, disappointedhis supporters.

There was an exciting finish in theGibson-Carmichael Stakes, Brethrenwinning in the last stride. Limuletfinished well when the race was allover. Grand Song was never dan-gerous.

Northwind made a return to formin winning the Farewell Handicap inwhich Mohican was a big disappoint-ment.

TOPICS FOR WOMENOPENING NIGHT

"VICTORIA REGINA"Much of the atmosphere of the Vic-

torian era was revived on Saturdaynight when Miss Fay Compton and hercompany enacted glimpses of the lifeof Queen Victoria in Housman's play"Victoria Regina." Bunting and pen-nants outlined the boxes and bal-conies, and ;the Union Jack drapedthe orchestral pit. The audiencepaid Miss Compton the compli-ment of appearing in full evening kit,a custom which was for a long timein abeyance, but which is now return-ing to favour in accordance with theincreasing number of fine perform-ances which the city is experiencingon the legitimate stage.

The costumes worn by Miss Comp-ton were, of course, perfect in everydetail. The beautiful settings, too,were accurate to the last detail, eventhe fruit being under the traditionalglass domes always associated with thenineteenth century.

•I'HK "fiANSDOWNIS" VMITY.'['ho garden party held by the

V.M.C.A. Ladles' Auxiliary at "Lans-downo" on Saturday proved in everyway a most pleasant and greatly en-joyed entertainment. In the warm sun-

Hh'ine the charming grounds made abeautiful picture with the soft greenInwnw and background of. shrubs andtrellis throwing into prominence thevivid splashes of rich hued dahlias,brilliant salvias, flaunting begonias,and beds of gay autumnal, blooms.Many pleasant diversions were pro-vided for the guests—tennis on courtsin Mrs. Mason's garden, and in thatof Mrs. J. Shaw's adjoining, croquet,clock golf, pin-bagatelle, darts, houp-la tables, and pistol-shooting. Manystrolled about admiring the groundsand later partook of a delicious after-noon tea served from long tables inthe courtyard.

Mr. R. H. Nimmo, president of theassociation, said that it gave him greatpleasure to assist at such a pleasantfunction on so pleasant a day. Onbehalf of the board of directors hepaid tribute to the fine work doneby the ladies' auxiliary, under theleadership of Mrs. R. S. Maunder. Theboard owed them a great debt of grati-tude for their unfailing and generoussupport, and he hoped that the pro-ceeds of the afternoon would prove asubstantial nucleus for the great cam- jpaign planned for this year to liqui-date the large debt outstanding. Hethen called ,on Mrs. H. W. Kersley,hon. life president of the auxiliary-;with which she has been associated ifor thirty-four years, to declare the jfete open.

Mrs. Kersley, who was wearing asmart navy-blue ensemble and a smallmatching hat, was presented by thepresident, Mrs. Maunder, with a crim-son shoulder-spray. She said she hadbeen associated with the work of theY.W.C.A. since her girlhood and foundthat as the years went by the workcame closer to one's heart. "Theauxiliary stands for service," she said."It aims to do a little of the greatwork carried on in the Dominion andthroughout the world. We realise theworth-whileness of the work, which isto help in developing the young man-hood of the world. There is morevalue in making a life than in makinga living; the living will come so longas the man is made. That is what theV.M.C.A. stands for." Mrs. Kersleywelcomed all heartily. On behalf ofthe ladies' auxiliary she tendered totheir host and hostess sincere grati-tude, for lending the grounds and forhelp in innumerable ways. She thendeclared the fete open, and wished itevery success.

The executive members, to whom thesuccessful organisation of the func-tion was due, were Mrs. R. S. Maunder(president), Mrs. K. Gibson (secre-tary), and Mrs. H. Hannah (trea-surer). The hostessses were Mrs. W.J. Mason, Mrs. H. W. Kersley, Mrs. G.R. Millward, and Mrs. E. C. Hay. Mrs.J. S. Vinsen, Mrs. W. Norman, andMrs. P. M. Donovan were in chargeof the arrangements for afternoon tea.A variety stall, which proved so popu-lar that it was completely cleared,was in charge of Mesdames H. Han-nah, M. E. Cameron, G. Will, Vernon,and Stevens. The well-organisedgames and competitions were underthe direction of Mr. J. White, as-sisted by the members of the Welling-ton V.M.C.A. Optimists' Club.

AT "WOBURN."The wide lawns of "Woburn," in

their beautiful setting of native treesand English oaks, were thronged withpeople.

The opening ceremony was per-formed by the Mayor of Lower Hutt(Mr. J. W. Andrews), who as "the firstcitizen of the district," was introducedby the Vicar (the Rev. H. E. K. Fry).He expressed his appreciation of beingpresent in the lovely surroundingsthat Mrs. Riddiford had so generouslymade available for their pleasure. Hewas, he said, proud to have the oppor-tunity of paying tribute to the manypublic-spirited owners of beautifulproperties in Lower Hutt, whoso freelythrew open their grounds for suchoccasions. During his term of officeextending over the past five years hehad been privileged to attend a num-ber of functions for which Mrs. Riddi-ford had lent her gardens, and he hadevery confidence that this functionwould bring in the good profit thathad resulted on previous occasions.

Mr. Andrews was accompanied byMrs. Andrews, who was wearing asmart navy blue toilette with matchinghat. Mrs. Riddiford's striking frockwas of cocoa and cream printedcrepon, relieved by a jabot of creamlisse at the neck. With it she wore awide-brimmed straw hat in cocoa. Mrs.H. E. Leighton, the organiser, wore agown of patterned georgette on ablack ground and a wide black hatwith an immense crimson rose. Withher were Mrs. H. E. K. Fry, the Hon.W.

The visitors included Mr. and Mrs.J. Vogel, Mr. Holland, Mr. and Mrs.Gordon Giesen, Mrs. F. Wallis, MissRobertson, and the Rev. T. F. Fagg.

In addition to the other attractionsa number of players took advantageof the fine grass tennis court whichwas also opened to the guests.

Those who remained late in theafternoon were enabled to see whatwas perhaps the gardens at their love-

■liest, with the play of light and shadowfrom the evening sun casting half thescene into dark green shade behindthe trees and throwing up in clear-cutcontrast smooth clipped hedges, stonefigurines, and brilliant flower bedsagainst the emerald lawns beyond.

ranged by the V.M.C.A. Ladies' Aux-iliary, was held at the residence ofMr. and Mrs. W. J. Mason, "Lans-downe," Waterloo Road.

Shortly after 2.30 the Minister ofPublic Health and Education, the Hon.P. Fraser, opened the function at"Homewood." This was organised bythe Red Cross Society, and was a mostsuccessful affair, several hundredpeople attending.

Dr. Alexander Gillies, president ofthe Wellington Centre, welcomed Mr.and Mrs. Fraser, who, he said, had al-ways been very good friends of theRed Cross. He thanked all those whohad helped in the organisation of theparty, and particularly Mr. and Mrs.Sutherlandfor lending the grounds. Heurged everyone to spend freely, but atthe same time reminded them of theparty in progress further down thestreet which was also in aid of acharitable cause.

Mr. Fraser commended the cause inwhich the venture was held, and spokeof the valuable work of the society.He added his cordial congratulationsto both the Red Cross and St. John'sSocieties, which were working togetherfor the Far Eastern Relief Fund. Mr.Fraser had a special word of commen-dation for the Port Nicholson Band,under the conductorship of Mr. J. J.Drew, which was in attendance andcongratulated it upon its success inthe recent championships.

A basket of sweets and a posy offlowers was presented to Mr. and Mrs.Fraser's small granddaughter, Alice, byCaptain Galloway.

Tea was served at gaily-painted tables by uniformed membersof the Voluntary Aid Detachment.

The fete afforded those who had notalready visited "Homewood" a splen-did opportunity of seeing the lovelygardens, and the aviaries, full ofbrightly-plumaged birds. The be-gonia house was ablaze with colourand excited much attention, as also didthe numerous varieties of ferns whichwere to be seen in the cool depths ofthe ferneries. Those who braved the"nip" in the air swam in the blue andwhite tiled swimming bath, a most at-tractive place with its setting of treesand bush.

Stalls, had been set up on the lawnbelow the tennis court, and the stall-holders were kept busy selling theirwares. Side-shows and competitivegames were provided by Mr. C.

At Mr. Sundgren's home, severalhundred yards further down Home-wood Avenue, an equally popular andsuccessful garden party was in pro-gress. This was to celebrate the open-ing of "Nautical Week," organised bythe Missions to Seamen, which will cul-minate with a ball at St. Francis Hallon Thursday. Mrs. G. P. H. Davidson,

nightdress and a fringed matchingshawl.

In the proposal scene her lovelyspreading frock of crisp self-spot whitetarlatan was •finished with oval em-broideries in blue, matching her blue,white-edged sash and the ribbons ofher quaint white cap.

Her. third appearance was made inPrince Albert's dressing-room, whenboth wore attractive dressing-gownsin shades of pink. The ingenuousyoung Queen wore a gown of pinkfigured material, tassels hanging fromthe elbows. The collar was of pinksatin, arid the front edges of the gownwere banded in matching stuffs. Abillowing white nightdress peeped de-murely through and revealed a wealthof blue ribbons and scallops on theskirt.

A striking frock of green, stripedin a deeper shade of the same colourand made with a deep green collar,and matching cuffs, was worn in an-other scene. The wide pannieredskirt fell over a frilled petticoat, andwas finished with embroidered spraysof pink roses. Gold earrings wereworn and the white front was finishedwith a large brooch.

Particularly colourful was the dressworn by the Queen when she and thePrince Consort left for their memor-able drive, knowing that an attemptwas to be made on Victoria's life.Matronly, and imparting an air ofyouthful dignity, the gown was of arich purple-blue colour< Five betas-selledrose-pink "frogs" down the frontof the skirt made an effective contrast.The; short velvet coat was edged withpleated taffeta and finished at thewrists -with white cuffs. The demurelittle bonnet was outlined with a whitefrill, and a white parasol was carried.Most regal was the gown of creamripple' satin, edged with horseshoes ofheavy gold lace, worn in the sceneentitled "The Rose and the Thorn."The skirt was wide-hooped, and bil-lowed and swayed as Miss Comptonwalked. The broad blue ribbon of theOrder of the Garter was worn acrossthe bodice, and the Garter itself im-printed with the motto "Honi SoitQui Mai y Pense," was worn abovethe elbow. The neckline was low andheart-shaped, and set off to perfectionher magnificent necklace of mountedemeralds and pendant. A high spark-ling tiara and matching bracelet com-pleted a very impressive costume. Adeep fed gown, banded with velvet inthe same shade, and worn with a col-ourful shawl was the last of the frocksworn before the death of Prince Albert.After, that Miss Compton appeared insombre widow's weeds, relieved onlyby the white cap and flowing veilswhich convention demanded.

Lovely frocks were worn by othersin the play, most notable being the oneof waltz blue worn by Miss HayleyBell, as Lady Jane, at the ball atthe Palace. The dress was made withan off-the-shoulder neckline, and waswide skirted, posies of pink roses andother flowers being clustered at in-terval? just above the hem. Moresevere and sophisticated was the gownworn by the Duchess of Sutherland(Miss Anne Codrington). Made witha long sweeping train, itwas Aztec redin colour, and was resplendent withlace and ostrich feathers.

Others who wore very colourfulfrocks were Misses Dorothy Barclayand Vera Fisher (as Royal Princesses),

and the gentlemen" of the period weregay in bcmedalled uniforms, kilts, andthe exaggerated mode of dress wornby civilian Victorians.

ATHLETICS

THREE NEW RECORDS

DUNEDIN CHAMPIONSHIPS

DUNEDIN, March 5.The defeat of T. Allen and A. R.

Geddes in the half-mile and the threemiles, establishing of three new re-cords, and the brilliant performanceof A. A. Cameron in securing fourfirst and two second places were theoutstanding features of the annualOtago track and field championshipsheld at the Caledonian Ground in finebut windy weather this afternoon.

H. J. Tyrie was the only EmpireGames representative to show any-thing like top form, and he estab-lished a new) Otago record by win-ning the 440 yards in 50 l-ssec. Allenwas sensationally beaten by R. Mc-Lachlan in the half-mile in 2min2 l-ssec, and Geddes, after winning themile in the slow time of 4min 39sec,.was defeated by 150 yards in the threemiles by the veteran, J. H. McLaren,in 15min 25sec.

A. A. Cameron, the North Otago all-rounder, was the most successful ath-lete, establishing a new record of 41ft2in in the shot put and winning thebroad jump, the hop, step, and jump,and the discus throw, besides beingsecond in the high jump and hammerthrow. M. R. Spillane, another rein-stated athlete of Empire Games class,won the hammer throw with 162ft sin.His throw of 155ft 6Jin was previouslythe best performance'by a New Zea-lander. It is doubtful if his perform-ance will be recognised on account ofthe assisting wind, but the other twoOtago records were established with-out any assistance from the breeze.There were 11 new title-holders, theList Shield going to the Civil ServiceClub.

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)CHRISTCHURCH, March 6.

There was a sensation at the Can-terbury athletic championships on,Saturday when W. J. Fitzsimmons, thepresent New Zealand 100 yards cham-pion and joint-holder of the nationalrecord of 9 4-ssec, was announced win-ner of the 100 yards championship. Aroar of surprise went up from theonlookers in the east stand who couldsee along the finishing tape. To themit seemed that G. C. Gordon, of Syden-ham, had won by a clear foot. Fitz-simmons at the finish, with other com-petitors, rushed to congratulate Gor-don. Fitzsimmons, however, was ad-judged the winner in the time of10 2-ssec. R. A. Rodgers, of SouthCanterbury, was third.

There was a big attendance at Lan-caster Park. Despite recent rain thetrack was in good condition and thenorth-east breeze was not strongenough to help or hinder the competi-tors. Among the officials for theafternoon was Sir James Leigh-Wood,president of the Empire Games Asso- Jciation, who acted as referee.

D. Shaw, of Ashburton, a youngrunner who has been coached by V. |P. Boot, the Empire Games half-mile jwinner, ran an excellent race to winthe junior mile in 4min 32 l-ssec.There was enthusiastic applause whenBoot was introduced to the crowd byDr. J. J. Brownlee, president of theCanterbury Association. Boot took the880 yards title again, winning by 15yards from Waters (Canterbury), whoput in a very game sprint 250 yardsfrom home. Boot, who drew the out-side position, went into the leadstraight away and gradually increasedit until Waters made his challenge.The gap was only closed for twoseconds; then Boot's finishing burstput the issue beyond doubt. The timewas Imin 55 4-ssec, 2-ssec inside thetime in which Boot won last year.

There was continued applause whenC. H. Matthews, the three- and six-mile winner at the Empire Games, wasintroduced before the three-mile Can-terbury championship. Matthews w^ssecond to last when the field sorteditself out after the start of thethree miles, but after one lap he hadmoved up easily into second place.Then the champion's pace began totell, and after three laps E. J. Johnsonwas just behind him, with the field100 yards behind. Starting the fifthlap Matthews appeared to be gettingwarmed up and Johnson began tofade out of the picture. At this stageboth had lapped Richards, of NewBrighton, who dropped out. Mat-thews's first two miles took 9min 30sec.Johnson stuck to his task gamely, andthough far behind Matthews he had200 yards in hand on the field whentwo laps were to go. Matthews hadlapped the whole field except Johnsonat the start of the final quarter.Though no one was there to extendhim, the champion •showed a greatburst over the final 200 yards. Thetime was 14min 19 3-ssec, nearly aminute faster than his time in thesame race last year. Matthews's Em-pire Games time was 13min 59.65ec.

BRILLIANT TENNISQUIST AT MIRAMARSTEDMAN'S BIG DEFEAT

Capturing the gallery by masterfultennis and touches of humorous show-manship, Adrian Quist, AustralianDavis Cup tennis player, defeated AlanStedman, New Zealand's finest player,easily in straight ■ sets, and teamedwith D. G. France to beat Stedmanand D. C. Coombe in an interestingdoubles match in exhibition matchesat Miramar on Saturday. He defeatedStedman 6-3, 6-2, 6-3, and with Francewon the double 6-2, 5-7, 3-6, 6-2, 7-5.

Marred only by a gusty southerlywhich tended to upset form in • thesingle, the exhibition was attended byone of the largest galleries for sometime. Quist was popular with thecrowd from the start, and not only be-cause his tennis was extraordinarilyefficient.- His court manners, and par-ticularly his gestures, delighted sec-tions of the crowd at tunes, and untilhe tired towards the end of the doublehe was constantly amusing.

Few tennis players of world rankto appear at Miramar have won asmany followers as Quist on one after-noon's display. For there were manyarguments during and after thematches on his merits with his pro-tagonists, a pretty large percentage de-claring strongly that he could easilymatch F. J. Perry, Ellsworth Vines,and other champions who have givenexhibitions on the court in recentyears. In the committee room im-mediately after the single, a reallypromising argument on the merits andskill of his play developed', with theQuistites rather outnumbering the op-position. Like so many boxing con-tests in America, however, the con-test was a no-decision one.

Whether his play is really as goodas all that could only fairly be deter-mined by actual combat. But it istrue that few players, even of his class,show such evident signs of easy mas-tery of all the strokes and tactics oflawn tennis. He was not thoroughlytested by a Stedman below form, andsometimes his own play was erratic.Nevertheless, there were oftenglimpses of a superb natural skill atthe game and a confidence in his ownpowers to combat any difficulties withthe proportion of success rather heavilyin his favour.

ALL-ROUND STRENGTH.The strength of his game, at least as

it was demonstrated on Saturday, isall round, with his strokes, forehand,backhand, and overhead, made with anesy fluency. His service was beauti-fully controlled and uniformly severe;and his volleying was so quick anddecisive that the fraction of an open-ing was enough. Add to.those virtuesfootwork of great sureness and cor-

rectness and plenty of court mobility,and the result is a- tennis player un-commonly well gifted in every way.As one of the world's finest doublesplayers, Quist's appearance with Francewas awaited with considerale interest.And even if he tended to tire badlytowards the end—by that time he andSredman were appr.oaching theireighthset in three hours—his display wasmore than a glimpse of a great tech-nique. At one stage, Coombe wasserving balls twisting away fromQuist's backhand. He missed severalof them, and on others played a ris-ing ball offering a great chance to theoncoming server. There were whispersthrough the gallery that Quist did notlike the service. Possibly he did not;but if he did not, he set to work tomaster it. And soon he was playing aheavily-sliced shot which cleared thenet by a whisker, and which was con-trolled with admirable delicacy. Heplayed it with exactly . the sort ofskill which made the great HenriCochet's performance in doubles soinspiring.

It is true that the exhibition singlewould have been more interesting ifStedman could have shown some ofthe capital form he showed onhis visitto Wellington a few weeks ago. Sted-man that day was a tremendouslystrong player, shooting for the lineswith unbelievable accuracy. On Sat-urday, he was unhappy from the start.His backhand was not an attackingshot and the length of his driving wasmuch too consistently short to troublea player of Quist's class. Moreover,his serving was unaccountably belowhis best, especially on the second ballwhich, if well-placed, was neversevere or tricky enough to causeQuist more than slight trouble.

Consequently, the match betweenthe two had its dull moments, withQuist sliding into the net after a deepdrive to the corner and cutting off thereturn with a volley sharply angledto the opposite corner. Stedman per-sistently tried for a passing shot downthe backhand line, but his accuracywas often at fault and Quist was un-troubled by the return; In the firstset, Quist drove one ball to Stedman'sbackhand corner and the New Zea-lander ran round it to drive a mag-nificent shot pitching an inch from thesideline and a yard from the back-hand corner. It beat Quist complete-ly. That was the real Stedman theStedman who annihilated N. V. Ed-wards, the Wellington Number One afew weeks ago. Unfortunately, theglimpses of Stedman's real capabili-ties were few.

GAME WITH FRANCE.When Quist and France walked

away with the first set of the doublesafter breaking through Coombe inthe fifth game, the match appeared alikely walk-over. France then wasplaying superbly, often winning amaz-ed applause from Quist with his finevolleying. But a change in the sec-ond and third sets saws the Stedman-Coombe combination operating farmore effectively, catching France withballs pitching at his feet—France seem-ed reluctant to come right in at times—and combinnig effectively. Coombe,for one of the few times this season,really struck form and one or two ofhis top-spun lobs were gems. Formost of the third and part of thefourth sets he was quite easily theoutstanding man on .the court. Hisserving was very good and his angledsmashing won points cleanly.

As in the single, Stedman seemedunable to come to grips with him-self, to find his best form at the de-cisive moment. He had patches of hisbest, several of them by smart inter-ceptions from Quist's returns ofCoombe's service, but his form wasnot as good as it can be.

France began slowly, worked up toa rare pitch in the first set and thentended to err, though he was alwaysuseful to his side. In the fifth set, hecame back to the form of the first,playing strongly and winning fre-quently with quick volleying. Hesometimes had difficulty in handlingCoombe's service down the line to hisbackhand, often lobbing out overStedman's head. But his play was,mostly fine and he frequently helpedQuist notably.

Quist's innate eye for the openingwas wonderfully well-demonstratedin many of the rallies. He thoughtnothing of volleying a full bloodedStedman smash, or of chasing lobs tothe baseline and tossing them casuallyhigh into the air to the baseline ofthe other court. And he thought no-thing of making a vicious sweep atvolleys above net height so that theytravelled like a bullet, yet under per-fect control, biting the turf at savagespeed. Nor, on one glorious occasion,of smashing a lob from his own base-line with terrific force straight downthe court to within a yard of the otherend, where Coombe made valiant butineffectual attempts to deal with it.

Quist's gestures, his "Ah," utteredin a tone of anguish when. Francemade a swipe at a ball travelling out,,his dropping the racket and shrugginghis shoulders, his stare at an offend- ]ing spot in the court—which playedvery well, incidentally—and his airof "Well, I'll bear it," when ball boysfailed to throw him the three ballshe always demanded for service, allcontributed to the gallery's interest.

I And, in truth, his court manners wereI fine, lending the impression that he

really enjoyed the day and the gameand was only too pleased to assist.Which was an admirable attitudereally and one which may help toprolong the arguments on the meritsof his play which started so spon-taneously on Saturday and which maymake him well-remembered in Wel^lington.

An interesting doubles exhibitionwas given by four juniors, Gyles andRobb, against Painter and Kelly, be-fore and during the interval betweenthe main exhibitions. All fourshowed capital form at times and fre-quently the rallies were exciting andwell-fought. Gyles and Robb wonthe first two sets 6-2, 6-4, and Painterand Kelly led 7-5, 4-1, in the secondbattle.

REGATTA DAY BASEBALL

MANY CREWSCOMPETE

HONOURS DISTRIBUTED

Honours were well distributed atthe Wellington Rowing Regatta, whichwas held on Port Nicholson on Satur-day afternoon. Crews from Wanganuito Christchurch competed, and mostof the visiting oarsmen were well re-warded for their enterprise. Wanga-iiui crews were particularly success-ful, while Petone was the most suc-cessful of the local clubs. There wasa disturbing jobble on the waterwhen the regatta commenced, butconditions improved as the day woreon, and the harbour appeared some-what calmer for the most spectacularevent, the open eights, won by Union(Wanganui), followed by Pctone andAramoho.

CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIPS

KILBIRNIE AHEAD IN SENIOR GRADE

INSTITUTE OLD BOYS LOSE TO KARORI

The lead in the Wellington Cricket Association's senior gradechampionship competition has been regained by Kilbirnie, this changehaving been brought about by the results "of the matches which endedon Saturday. In no small way responsible for the change at the headof the table was the team which had hitherto failed to gain a cham-pionship point. Karori made their first win—on the first innings—ameritorious one in that it was over Institute Old Boys, who had pre-viously captured the lead from Kilbirnie. Institute failed by only20 runs to retain top place, Kilbirnie having to be satisfied with awin over University on the first innings. University fell badly inthe first innings, but were not so easy a proposition in the secondinnings. Hutt could not catch Wellington College Old Boys, thoughthere was some spirited hitting in this match. Wellington set Midlanda task that was too formidable, but Midland avoided an outrightdefeat, as did Hutt.

Batsmen to show up conspicuously were Wiren (who held hisend.up throughout the da}% batting right through one innings and onagain as far as the other innings went, without losing his wicket),Crawford (a fine double—72 and 67), Ross, Lang, Sheffield (wholeft last night for Fiji), Tricklebank, Capstick, and McCarthy.Most successful of the bowlers were D. S. Wilson, Morrissey, M.Browne, McKeown, and J. R. Lamason.

With two series of matches to be played, Kilbirnie lead fromInstitute Old Boys by three points, with Wellington College Old Boys

' in striking distance.

RESULTS AT A GLANCE..Kilbirnie (356) won oh the first in-iiings from University (121 and 179 forfive wickets).Karori (252 and 87 for five wickets)won on the first innings from InstituteOld Boys (233).Wellington (358) won on the first in-

nings from Midland (164 and 172 forsix wickets).

Wellington College Old Boys (373for eight, wickets," declared) won■ onthe first innings from Hutt (235 and86 for six wickets)

MATCHES DESCRIBED

KARORI AND INSTITUTE

Karqi'i had their first success of theseason on Saturday when at KaroriPark they gained a five-point win overinstitute Qid Boys. Despite ,the pres-,attceof Sheffield (former Essex open-ing : bat), who scored a half-centuryin clashing style, and a good openingpartnership, Institute could not getthe better of a keen Karori attack andeventually were.dismissed when theirscore was 19 runs short of the Karoritotal of 252. Karori's win was welldeserved, and their most convincingbatting display of the season was sup-ported by excellent bowling and, inthe excitement of the closing stages,remarkably keen fielding.

From the commencement ot play onSaturday Institute's task of gaining thehonour^ was made increasingly diffi-cult when the not-out batsmen, Stan-didge and Wells, carried Karori'sscore from 207 to 250. Wells's zestbrought about his downfall, and, short-1ly after he had been dismissed for asparkling 33 runs, Karori's inningsclosed at 252. Standidge, the Karoricaptain, remained unbeaten with avaluable 21 to his credit. In his lastover McKeown took the wickets ofWells, Montgomery, and Judd, and forthe innings his figures were four for32—a really good effort.

Institute opened their second in-nings with Sheffield and McLean, andthe ease with which they scored madeit appear as though the issue was be-yond doubt. They quickly took thescore beyond the 70 mark. In themeantime, however, M. Browne, theKarori spin bowler, had changed endsand had had a particularly effectiveover in which the Essex professionalwas badly beaten several times beforebeing bowled. Browne subsequentlyplaced Karori well on the way to awin by collecting the wickets of Scottand Dv Feu at small cost.

This was Sheffield's last appearancein 'Wellington cricket before leavihgtor' Fiji, and he gave a bright displayof baiting. His score of 53 includedseven 4's. McLean assisted Sheffieldin scoring 71 runs for the openingpartnership, but, although battingequally as brightly as his partner, Mc-Lean was not so confident in his strokemilking. Replacing McLean at thewickets, Lang batted with such deter-mination that he came very close togiving Institute the win. Starting his/linings somewhat shakily, he latersettled down to a stubborn'effort, andtowards-the end opened out consider-ably finishing with 06 not out. Of theother Institute batsmen Bilby andCrook defended stubbornly for a while■but the bowling of Browne and .Mont-gomery was the deciding factor in theresult. • \ , ~M Browne bowled extremely welland his live wickets for 76 runs mighteasily have been improved upon. Mont-gomery and Cooper were the other suc-cessful Karori bowlers and Juddbowled accurately without success.

Karori batted again, but there wasnothing much of account in the secondinnings, the play being free and easy,with £". Browne and Heenan makingmost runs. In this innings Sheffield re-verted to his old position as wicket-keeper.

A GAME OF CONTRASTS

A game of contrasts was the contri-bution to senior cricket of Kilbirnieand University; it was like a springsky, alternating dull and bright, withthe balance in favour of the sunnyside. Kilbirnie's 365 on the first daywas '■ boisterously stimulating—theyscored at more than two runs aminute—and University's reply of 121on Saturday was stolid and unimagina-tive. But University's effort in theirfollow-on innings had splashes of col-our that compensated for the drabearly play. The time taken for theStumps score of 179 for five wickets jwas not startling, but such interludesas Ongley's 50, made in 13 minutes,helped towards a lively finisb. Kil-birnie' won on the first Innings ibyJ335runs.■j The only relieving feature in Uni-versity's first innings—they resumedwith 11 runs for no wickets—was asensational over by Wilson, who re-lieved Ashenden after Ashenden hadbowled nine overs into the wind.Harding, who was then 10, played onthe first ball, the third bowled Ongley,and the fourth Parkin. .Dean did nottouch the first ball to him, and aftersome hesitation he rail when he hadplayed the next one to the on. Wil-son sprinted for the ball, turned, andttirew Dean out. Four wickets hadfallen in one over for no runs, andWilson had three for 1. Seven wic-kets were down for 49 runs.

Wiren, who had batted very patient-ly—or stubbornly—fromthe start, wasassisted by McMillan in a 25 partner-ship, then Knowsley ran up a bright25, which included a welcome 6, drivenstraight. His flight was stopped byWard, who snapped him up brilliantlyat silly mid-ofl.

The innings played by Wiren, thoughslow, was valuable. It took him 66minutes to make his first 10, and hewas xinbeaten at the close of the in-nings. He had scored 46 in 153minutes.

Wilson, keeping a good length andfollowing through fast, accounted forsix wickets at a cost of 25 runs, in 13overs.

University's opening in the secondinnings was not inspiring. Wirensettled back again into his firbt in-nings niche, but the first two wicketsfell .for only 20, Tricklebank, start-ing quietly, then infused dash intothe play, and he and Wiren enjoyed apartnership of 97, of which Trickle-bank made 68. He made some "iffy"shots, but was generally sound onboth sides of the wicket, and reachedhis 50 in an hour. His total includednine boundaries. Harding could makeonly 6.

Ongley, with the other wicket safelyheld up. went for a smite and playeda d.ashing innings, scoring at almostfour runs a minute. He went for mostthings, and clouted seven 4's and two6's before he was caught by Parsloeoff Wilson. Wiren, not out for thesecond time, had scored 38.

Fall of Wickets.—One for 16, two for27, three for 29, four for 49, five for49, six for 49, seven for 49, eight for74, nine for 121, ten for 121.

Bowling.—Parsloe took one wicketfor 27 runs, Ashenden two.for 23, Wil-son six for 25, Christophersen nonefor 32, Rice none for 2. Parsloebowled one no-ball.

WELLINGTON BEAT MIDLAND

Wellington found the task of dismiss-ing Midland twice on Saturday after-noon at the Basin Reserve, in orderto secure an outright win, just beyondthem, and they had to be content witha win by IU4 runs on the first innings.The weather was ideal, and the wicketfavoured the batsmen. Midland resumedtheir first innings with two wicketidown for 12 runs-in reply to Welling-ton's total of 358, and, apart from anexcellent fifth-wicket partnership be-tween Crawford and Hepburn, whichrealised 79 runs at a critical stage, theside failed badly. Buddie and Craw-ford were the. overnight batsmen, butthe former was back in the pavilionwithout having made any particularincrease in the score. O'Neill then wentin and added a few. With Crawfordplaying delightful cricket, and part-nered by Hepburn, who hit vigorously,the score began to show distinct signs

of improvement, and there were somerather rapid bowling changes. Hep-burn was first to go—lbw to Morgan—and Bezzant filled the breach tillafternoon tea time. What followedwas a complete debacle on the part ofMidland. The departure of Crawford,caught by Ell, off Blundell, alter scor-ing 72, consisting of well-executed shotsmainly through the coverssquare leg, spelt the end for Midland,and Bezzanl, Gates, Ralfe, Henderson,and Fortune did not manage doublefigures between them. Bowling hon-ours go to Morrissey (five wickets) andto a lesser extent Blundell, who bothbowled accurately throughout the in-nings. Taking it all round the field-ing was good. , .

Midland followed on, and theirsecond innings was a mixture of veryrestrained play and attempts to scorerapidly. Buddie and Fay reacheddouble figures, but Crawford agamturned on sparkling cricket, scoring b7quickly, before being skittled by KoseOsborn was restrained, but made Ji>not out in neat style, while ONeilllivened matters with a sixer. Nothingdepended on the innings, and stumpswere drawn a few minutes before time.

Fall of Wickets—One for 1, two for1, three for 41, four for 62 five for141,-six for 163, seven for 163, eightfor 164, nine for 164, ten for 164.

Bowling.—Morrissey took five wic-kets for 44 runs, Blundell three for 48,Meech none for 1, Ell one for 39, Mor-gan one for 17.

Fall of Wickets.—One for 25, two for53, three for 177, four for 149, five for151, six for 172.

Bowling.—Thomas took two wicketsfor. 12 runs, Blundell none for 20, Mor-rissey one for 35, Meech none for 47,Rose one for 26, Mouteath one for 21.

HUTT AND OLD BOYS

Although the weather waskind, Huttfound the pitch, which was dry andbare, right against their prospects ofbettering the score of 373 made byWellington College Old Boys at theHutt Recreation Ground on the firstday. The ball came through at vary-ling heights, and those deliveries thatkept low seemed to gather pace andmade the batsmen rather anxious- at

"irr'spite of the adverse pitch, Rossgave a very bright exhibition for 71,made in 76 minutes. His strokes onthe drive and to square leg were madewith great precision, and includedthree G's and eight 4's. Griffiths camein for severe treatment, and at oneperiod was hit for 44 runs off fourovers. Ross was responsible chiefly forthe score being taken from 50 to 100in 27 minutes. Cheevers batted brisk-ly too but it looked asthough he andRoss were indiscreet when they werebowled. Capstick batted very soundlyfor 44, and received great help fromMcCarthy, Aim, who was sufferingfrom a bad knee, and Muir. Thecatch that dismissed McCarthy was avery fine effort by J. Lamason close inon the off. Thompson was responsiblefor a smart bit of fielding in runningout Champness. The final total of 235was a creditable one considering thepitch. J. Lamason came out with thegood figures of four for 45.

Hutt followed on with 100 minutesleft for play, and made 86 for sixwickets. Towards the end of the daythe shadows caused the light to bevery confusing. McCarthy gave a" dash-ing display for his 43, which includedthree 6's—one over long-on off Lama-son, and two over square leg off Grif-fiths. Ross made only 10, but a bigstraight drive for 6 off Boyes was in-cluded. This was his fourth "sixer"for the day. By way of contrast, Stehrbatted for over an hour for 3 runs.

First innings points went to OldBoys.

BRITISH TRIBUTE

SIR TRUBY KING'S WORK

(From "The Post's" Representative.)

LONDON, February 12.A tribute to the late Sir Truby King

as "one of the greatest humanitarianswho ever lived," has been paid byMiss Mabel Liddiard, nursing directorof the Mothercraft Training Societyat Highgate, who was the first Englishnurse to take his training.

"Sir Truby began his work in NewZealand with plants and animals," MissLiddiard said. "His method was to fol-low Nature's methods as closely as pos-sible. He called it 'common sensescientifically applied.'

"His work greatly impressed LadyPlunket—now Lady Victoria Braith-jwaite—whose late husband, Lord Plun-ket, was Governor of New Zealandfrom 1904 to 1910. Lady Plunket in-vited Sir Truby to England in 1918,and we made a beginning in TrebovirRoad, Earl's Court, where we tooktwo houses.

"Sir Truby paid three more visitsto England, and now nearly 800 nurseshold our certificate. We have sixbranches in London and the provinces,and the movement has spread through-out the world."

NORFOLK HOUSE

THREE DAYS' SALE

DUCAL CHATTELS

ANOTHER OLD HOUSE GONE

(From "The Post's" Representative.)LONDON, February 12.

A total of nearly £10,000 was rea-lised by -the three-day sale of furni-ture and effects at Norfolk House, theeighteenth century mansion of theDukes of Norfolk, which will soonmake way for flats. 'There were oneor two mild surprises during the auc-tion, but on the whole the prices ful-filled the forecast: "No sensation ex-pected."

The stately long ballroom presenteda different scene during these threedays from the magnificent' receptionsthat have been held there,in the past.Instead of lovely ladies in satin andtiaras, men with green baize apronsforced their way through a crowd, ofbuyers and sightseers, showing thechattels of the Dukes of Norfolk, lotby lot, before they fell tinder the ham-mer.

Sir Henry Floyd, partner inChristie's, stood on a dais at one endof the room, nodding as his glancecaught the flicks of catalogue, nods ofhead, hand-waves, winks, or finger-liftings that marked each bid.

To glance round this grand old homa,so soon to disappear, was to glimps*a quick panorama of domestic lifethrough the centuries. Glance at thehip-baths—six of them, piled one inthe other like a nest of saucepans; seethe round bath, eight inches deep allthe way round; see the great commoncans in which hot water was carriedthrough the whole house. ...■ In the courtyard is the State coachin which the Earls Marshal of Englanddrove to Coronations ... And—saddest relic of all—see in the kitchenone discarded uniform with the tar-nished buttons still displaying thecrest of the Howards, who were an oldhouse when Queen Elizabeth waiyoung.WOMEN AMONG THE BIDDERS.Women sightseers—and buyers-

formed the majority of an eager com-pany on the first day, arid won manya decorative, souvenir. .' Lady Strath-allan was often, prominent, and LadyCynthia "Waring bought a rosewoodgaming-table at 12 guineas. Withoutthis feminine support the total wouldnot have reached £3371. Indeed, an-other well-known woman collector,Mrs. Van der Elst, often gave a fillipto the bidding. Her recent purchaseof Harlaxton Manor has caused her tobe on the look-out, for decorative fur-nishings, and she annexed most of theNorfolk House Louis Seize candelabraat comparatively cheap prices—50guineas for a 51-inch high pair, and46 guineas for an 8-feet high pair. Thehighest price of the first day, 260guineas, was paid for a 1 mahoganyCarlton House writing table.

But. more than 5£ guineas was ex-pected for an Italian chalice .Veilwdrked with flowers on a red ground(and cross in gold thread. This had'an eventful history when the Chapelof the Tuileries Palace was burnt dur-ing the Commune. It was saved fromthe fire by the Emperor Napoleon Ill'svalet.

The second day's sale reached£4825. In the first half-hour the pro-ceedings were enlivened by the biddingfor the William and Mary pair of mir-rors (97£in by 31Jin), decorated inverre eglomise. From a beginning of200 guineas the competition was gen-eral, resulting in the goodly price of620 guineas. ■But afterwards there was a longspell of woodwork and panelling,

marble mantelpieces andflooringwhichgrew wearisome except to those whocan amuse themselves by a littlemental arithmetic. Thus, when the 'original oak floor of the long drawing-room, measuring 21£ft by 65£ft, wasbeing offered, few people seemed tobe aware that they were actuallystanding on it. After 46 guineas hadbeen given for it, an observer whis-pered: "Why, that is less than a shillinga square foot. I'll wager it will costmore than that to take it up and re-layit." •MARBLE MANTELPIECES.

The old Norfolk State coach wentfor 64 guineas, and the black barouchefor 12 guineas. The massive marble'mantelpieces—anachronisms thoughthey ,be nowadays—showed strangefluctuations in valuations. The onein the Duke's bedroom went for sixguineas; another in the lower drawing-room at three guineas; the one in thelobby was "picked up" for,one guinea.But the "Diana" mantelpiece in theballroom fetched 100. guineas, and thatin the state bedroom 72 guineas.

The third day was a sort of "clear-ance sale." Children's rosewood high,chairs were included with Windsorarmchairs and' footstools, and thewhole lot went for 11 guineas. A sew-ing machine, worked on a treadle, soldfor a guinea after shilling bids. Otherprices were: Half a guinea each forsuites of painted furniture; five and ahalf guineas for 18 mattresses; a guineafor hip baths, coal boxes, and buckets.Ten large ballroom mirrors, the esti-mated original cost of which was £200each, went for 26 guineas.

Norfolk House is one of the principalbuildings which the Georgian Groupof the Society for the Preservation ofAncient Buildings has tried to save-in this case unsuccessfully. -The grouphas now been in existence for ninemonths, and a survey of its workgives some idea of what its futurescope'and effectiveness are likely'tobe.

Since May, 1937, the group has dealtwith 117 cases. It has succeeded in •six, failed in eight, and the remainingthree—those of the Great Arch at •Euston, Garrick's villa at Hampton,and Mecklenburgh Square—are still insuspense. '

CHECK ON BUSES

Coiled wires on bus roofs in Lon-don now enable a central dispatchingoffice to keep check of the vehiclesthroughout their runs. At

fintervals

along the route, the buses pass undersingle wires stretched across the street.These wires pick up electric signalsgiven oil by the coils, which arecharged with alternating current, andtransmit them to the dispatching officeover oi'dinary telephone circuits. Aseach roof coil is tuned to a differentelectric frequency, it gives off a signalwhich distinguishes it from all •others.Thus, in the manner of the block sys-tem on a railroad, the coils and sus-pended wires enable the bus dispatcherto identify all of the vehicles and toknow the approximate location of anyone at any given time. >WATCH THE WEATHER FORECAST.

Nowadays we have a splendid ser-vice to give warning of approachingbad weather—in ample lime to layin some Baxters Lung Preserver forprotection against coughs, colds, chills,sore throats, and many other bronchialailments—the usual result of suddentransition from heat to cold, even insummer.

"Baxter's" is the best remedy forcoughs and colds—be sure it's "Bax-ters," Is 6d, 2s 6d, and 4s 6d at allchemists and stores.—Advt.

LILIAN BAYLISMAKER OF "OLD VIC"

CONTRIBUTION TO THEATRE

ART FOR THE PEOPLELilian Baylis even in her lifetime

had become a legend, and someone hasalready called her a saint. Certainly

for the last forty years she kept asteady flame of faith burning beforethe altar of her God, says a writer in"John o' London's Weekly."

The saints of old were wont to beuncomfortable, difficult people for alltheir holiness and divine love, and un-doubtedly Lilian Baylis, though neitheruncomfortable nor essentially difficult,wns unusual. She did not fit at all intothe correct mould of a successful•theatre manager, or even of a womanof great affairs, but she was both parexcellence.

It has been hinted that her know-ledge of music had little more valuethan that acquired by any youngsterwho learns to play the violin, that herpowers as a director of plays had evenless. Of the first I am not in a 'posi-tion to judge, but of the second,although she had little understandingof the technique of acting, she wasabsolutely sound on the final result.She knew when the spirit of the playwas being expressed and when it wasbeing exploited without considerationfor its author's true intention. Sheunderstood the manifold difficultiesthatbeset and try a working actor, thestern responsibilities of a producer,and as far as was humanly possibleshe "cleared all liri.es" for them. Sheknew, too, the essential broad qualitiesthat would in the case of Shake-spearean drama carry its message tothe back row of her beloved gallery.

NEVER INTERFERED.During the four years that I worked

for her as a producer she never onceinterfered with my direction. She sawthat criticism came to me, sometimesmost surprisingly and often in waysthat seemed crude and ungenerous,until the deep affection for herselfwhich she aroused in metaught me tounderstand that rough graining whicha carpenter may feel"when he handlesa piece of untrimmed solid oak.

She cultivated no"personal prestige,no pride of office, and so gatheredabout her apermanent staff that work-ed for years with unflagging zeal. Sheheld on to them because they did thework she wanted them to do loyallyand well, and they have stood by her.because they believed in her and,above all, loved her. Itwill be largelyowing to the quiet, unseen strength ofthis band of workers that the Old Vieand Sadler's Wells will weather thetragic storm through which they arenow passing, and be guided to futureservice under whatever captain takesthe helm. •All those who have worked forLilian Baylis must know that thesecret of her power was her faith, andto avoid misunderstanding let me sayat once that by faith I mean absolutetrust in the love and power of God.By such faith, which was never absentfrom her mind, miracles may be work-ed by the spiritually great. She wasfundamentally a religious woman, butit was never (to my knowledge) exhi-bited in texts and psalm singing. Itappeared in her everyday life to a re-markable degree. It shone supremelyin the house she built upon the rockof her work—in the Old Vie and Sad-ler's Wells.

PART OP HER RELIGION.They were part of her religion, and

were- never separated from it for onemoment. They became alive becauseof it, because of the affection withwhich she imbued them and the senseof humour that she claimed for heridea of the eternal. "I must find somemoney," she said to me once. "I keeppraying for money, but the Almightyonly sends me penny collections."

She "cared" for her work withevery particle of her mind and body.Nothing mattered except its well-being, She rightly believed that it wasthe most important thing in life thatshe had to do, and she did it. Daily shewould be at her office, directing, plan-ning, coping with immediate difficul-ties, and,nightly she would be eitherat Sadler's Wells or at the Old Vie,screened from the public and actorsbehind a little dark curtain at the backof her box, coping with unending cor-respondence, but keeping her hand, atthe same time, on the pulse of thetheatre.

When she went over the river to seea play or some player who later mightbe lured to act for her, she wouldalways look in at Islington on theway there, and at the Waterloo Roadbefore she went home. And althoughshe loved us all without a doubt, wewere pawns in the game of givingShakespeare, opera, and ballet to the"people"; and when we had done ourjob we must make room for others sothat the game might go on unhindered.No one who had worked for her andshared her vision could wish for bettertreatment. If she could give every-thing in her life, surely we could giveour little pride.

Moreover, she never lied to us, andalthough the naked truth is often moreacceptable when slightly veiled, yetstarkness has a quality that will in-dubitably win the respect of children,and to her we were her children.

THE TWO PORTRAITS.There is a story told which is an

example of her quick integrity of re-partee. 'I am not certain of the actual,facts, but the essentials are true. Inthe vestibule of the Old Vie hangs alarge portrait of Emma Cons, thefounder of the theatre, and a smallerone of King George the Fifth.' On anoccasion Queen Mary humorouslydrew atetntion to the smallness of herhusband's picture in comparison."Oh," retorted Lilian Baylis, "EmmaCons did more for the Old Vie thanhe has." What monarch could desirea happier example of clear truth froma subject?

For the first twenty years of my lifeI lived under the sovereignty ofQueen Victoria. I had never thoughtthat anyone else could wear the■ crown. Edward, as Prince of Wales,seemed as permanent an institution ashis mother, and I knew nothing ofdeath except from what I had seenportrayed in the theatre as an excit-ing but unreal experience. So whenthe news came from Osborne that areign of over sixty years had come toan end I felt as though'the bottomhad fallen out of my world.

"Now, in a lesser degree, the deathof Lilian Baylis gives me the impres-sion that the laws of Nature have beenviolated. For so many years, and dur-ing four particularly, she has seemedto me so inevitable. She has beerf illfrom time to time, but seldom seri-ously enough to be absent from heroffice in the Waterloo Road, or not tobe able to go over, swathed to the eyesin shawls and a battered fur cape, toSadler's Wells after she had seen thecurtain up at the Old Vie. Such washer indomitable spirit that one huggedthe belief that she would overcome theweakness of the flesh as she had thedilemmas and pitfalls that the intricatemanagement of two theatres presentingopera, ballet, and drama must inevit-

jably involve.I One'day five years ago, when she was

driving me over from the Old Vie tothe Wells, she talked to me very inti-mately about her health—she was thenrecovering from a serious operation,and not very surely. She said that

she felt the time had come for herto lay down her heavy burden, andhow gladly she would do it now ifonly she knew who could take it up.The thought of her successor musthave troubled her mind, though I feelcertain that her faith would assureher that ultimately the right persoDfor the job would be found.

The Victorian age called forth manynoble, public-spirited women, and ifLilian Baylis is perhaps the last, byno means is she the least. She belongsto that age particularly because shewas a homely woman. There was noobvious brilliance, no toadying to"smart sets" either in the theatre

or society. The meaning of the wordsnob was unknown to her. Prince orroad sweeper, film star or universityprofessor,' all must join her in a cupof tea—figuratively speaking—-if theywere going to help the Old Vie, andfew, if any, denied her invitation.

As recently as last summer, whenthe Old Vie company took their pro-.duction of "Hamlet" to Elsinore,sat up all night in the open air dunnga long, strenuous rehearsal, sendingflasks of hot coffee and drinks of a lesstemperate nature to cheer and com-fort her actors. Fortunately friendsabout her, realising that she wouldpresently feel the cold, which grew noless nipping than Hamlet's eager air asthe night advanced, kept laying cloaksand rugs upon her until, when thegrey light of dawn crept over thosehistoric battlements,' it illumined ahill of wraps from whose midst thosefaithful mother-eyes still watched.

When deathcomes, not only does thespirit leave the body, but the intimateobjects with which the loved one wasclosely associated appear to lose theiressence. As the eye wanders pitifullyfrom pen to book or ornament theyare now but shapes without the essen-tial quality—dumb, inanimate. But inthe case of Lilian Baylis there is asaving grace from this customaryhuman regret. The, bricks and mortarthat she sanctified, the glorious workthat she has achieved for the theatrein three separate branches will be re-dolent of her personality for many de-cades, and the impetus that she hasgiven to this colossal undertaking willcarry it onwards if we, both publicand artisans' of the theatre, prove our-selves worthy of the legacy, and surelyno legatees could be charged with amore sacred duty.
