Mr. Johnston, who is leaving for Lon-don to-morrow, said the Government hadapproved of the proposal, but he hadbeen unable to find a New Zealander pre-pared to undertake the considerable out-lay involved. He hoped, however, onhis return to London, to find someonewho would make the completion of thememorial possible.

LABOUR SHORTAGE.MOVE FOR RELIEF.

IMMIGRATION WANTED.

VIEWPOINT OF GOVERNMENT.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON. MondayThe question as to whether it would

be advisable for New Zealand toimport immigrants to lighten the effectof the chortapc of labour on farms infactories and in home* was introducedl».y a deputation which waited on theMinUter ..f Internal AH'airs, the Hon.W. K. I'arrv.

The Mini.-ter said the fiovernnientHimed at tindiTip: work for Xt-w Zea-landeis'before embarking "U an immi-gration scheme. It was stated thatthere was a retardation of enterpriseand development evident in manyimportant spheres because of the impos-

sibility of meeting the demands forlabour. Mr. Parry replied that it wa.scorrect that in primary an 4 secondaryindustries there was not aiMrly suffi-cient labour available, but tt would ihewrong to say the Government was notmaking a stout effort, not without suc-<-esi=, to relieve the position in manyways. The deputation, he said, hart-pokeii of reviving the country's immi-gration policy, which had been dormantfur some years. That brought up the<jnor-li<>u of the welfare of the people.

''We must, see that all our men,women ;, iid young people are satisfac-torily and beneficially placed before anyscheme t'or immigration is decided upon,"remarked Mr. Farrv.

The chief desire of the Governmentwas to see that all avenues of employ-ment received their right type <>flabour ami the exploration*) of theLabour and Industries Department;!"ere all aimed in that direction.

Mr. Parry added Unit many letters!iad been received by members of theGovernment from people in England andin fiircigii countries who wished tosettle in New Zealand. After outliningthe contents of ftome of the communi-cation.*, the Minister said that it wasevident that Xew Zealand could quicklyhave a very cosmopolitan population.

CRITICAL VISITORS.

LICENSING LAWS IRKSOME.CHANGE URGED NEXT YEAR,

(From Our Correspondent.)WELLINGTON, Monday.

Relaxation of the licensing laws forthe centennial period at least, to meetthe convenience of overseas visitors,was suggested by Mr. C. H. Verseput, aSouth African, who arrived from Sydneyto-day by the Awatea in the course ofa world tour.

South Africans and others from over-seas found the licensing laws in Aus-tralia and New Zealand extremely, irk-some, said Mr. Verseput. In SouthAfrica, for example, the hotels wereopen for the consumption of liquor onthe premises from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.on week days, and from noon to 2 p.m.and d p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays formeals with which liquor could be served.Residents could be supplied at any time!

Mr. Verseput said he could not seethe sense in licensing laws such as those

in Australia and New Zealand, whichinduced many men to drink more thanthey should because tne bars were closedafter 6 p.m. In South Africa and othercountries where hotels were open in thee-veninjr, there was far less drunkenness.He had seen more drunken men inSydney after six o'clock in the eveningthan during the whole of his travels onthe Continent and in England,

Tourists from overseas would bepreatly encouraged if the hotels in NewZealand were prranted a dispensation tolirinp them more into line with theens torn abroad.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE.POTATOES ARE CHEAPER.

POLLAKD PRICKS UNCHANGED.

Since laet report the only importantchange in the local jfrain ancj r>r , Mju,.e |markets has been an easing in the priceof potatoes, which are now quoted at £11per ton, thrown store. The Waianabrought a fairly lame .shipment from theSouth on Sunday, and these are now beingdistributed to a market that was quiteready for fresh supplies. The generalposition of the Southern market, accord-ing to local dealers, is rather quiet art theprospects of further exports to Australiaare steadily declining.

Onions, on the other hand, have beenshipped across the Tasman in large quan-tities, realising figure* that should haveproved highly profitable to the shippers..Despite these exports, ample supplies arestill on hand in the Soutli and these arecoming forward freely to the local mar-ket. J'ricen are unchanged at 19/ per cwtthrough store.

There is no chance in the position ofrioUird and bran. Local supplies of eachare scarce, but ample quantities are avail-able from Australia and find a ready saleat late rates.

Wheat, barlev and inai/e, all beingunder the Marketing Board, are being

I dealt with at ti\-<-d prices. Wheat, ofI which a cargo came forward last week.

by the Xarbada. is selling freely, but bar-ley in rather dull of sale. A shipment ofJava maize which came to hand last weekwas infected by weevil and had to beturnigated. The treated corn is not yetready for distribution and meanwhile sup-plies on the market are rather short. Thecoats of fumigation are being borne by theDepartment and the price to dealers andconsumers is therefore unchanged.

The fertiliser business is still veryactive, favourable weather allowing far-mers to accept many orders in c ises wheredeliveries have, for transport reasons, beendelayed.

Following are other latest quotations,the price being based on rates for deliveryon trucks or boat:--

Walnut Meat Export Control.Mail advices to hand from one of the

largest shippers of walnut meat fromTientsin advise that they arc meetingwith certain currency difficulties whichmake it almost impossible to accept fur-ther business. The report is as follows:—Due to the shortage of foreign currency,the Japanese have applied the followingregulations governing export of walnuts(kernels and in shell) and ground nutsamongst other commodities. Foreignbanks must deposit in cash the amount ofthe bills they wish to negotiate, againstwhich cash the Federal Reserve Bankwould issue their notes. These notes arebased on 14d to the dollar, as against theexisting rate of Bd. The Federal Reserveutates that they will grant import per-mits for the same amount and at the sameexchange of 14d, but from experience inManchuria and elsewhere, these permitstake a considerable time to appear. Atthe same time export permit*; would besupplied and goods to the value statedwould be permitted as exports. Keedleesto say the banks, the Chartered Bank ofIndia, Australia and China, and theHongkong and Shanghai Banking Corpora-tion, will have nothing to do with the

scheme. a.« it mfans in effect tho handineover of sterling and United States cur- ,rency ;ic:ainst inconvertible paper.

Arrangement* have been made, it isunderstood, whereby holders of G. J.Coles' c-hai-es in Xnv Zealand, in spiteoi tlip effective ban by the DominionGovernment, on the export of capital.will be able to take up the now issueot one t'or five announced last, month,states the •'Sydney Moiiiinc Herald."

The company is making an issue of210.2.")<1 ordinary shares at par to ordin-ary shareholders, in the proportion ofone new nhare for every five held onMay 13,

Tt is understood that New- Zealandsharchnldcis will he given two weeks'grace in thn matter of paying the 10a shave, due on July 15,

'

the applica-tion money for the new shares. Thismeans that the proceeds of the finalhall-ye.irly dividend for the year ending• lime 30, which it is expected will bepaid nil August 1, will be able to be usedtor the necessary application money.

Dividend Possibilities.It is believed that the company willpay a final dividend of not less than tenper cent (2/ a share) for the six monthsending Jiine :JO, which, together with aninterim half-yearly dividend of 7V2 percent Oβ a share), would make a yearlydistribution of 17'/2 per cent (3 6 a share)

unchanged from last year. As the newwsue is boint! made on a one for five basisa final dividend of 2/ a share would pro-vide Xcw Zealand shareholders with theneeessmy exchange in Melbourne to takeup tlieir new share*.If these arrangements had not been

made by the company, X«- Zealandshareholders would have been compelledto eell their rights in Australia if thevhad not been able to obtain the neces-sary funds to pay the 10/ applicationmoney.

LEWIS EADY, LIMITED

SOUND IM3SITIOX DISCLOSED.

At the annual meeting of shareholdersin Lewis Eady, Ltd., held yesterday, thechairman of directors, Mr. L. Alfred'Eadvsaid that considering the various factorsaffecting public confidence in the pastyear, it was gratifying to note the gener-ally sound position revealed. While'saleshad suffered a small decline, reflected bva reduction in net profit of £o]o earn-ings represented a satisfactory return oncapital.

•'The chief factor affecting trading " con-tinued Mr. Eady, "has been the importrestrictions. The company's principallines have been affected by theserestrictions since December. Tlie recentimport ban now precludes the importingof our most saleable goods—pianos, radios"musical instruments and refrigerators!I hat the drastic import policy of the(Government would affect the company's

trading was obvious."The directors are fully alive to theimportance of the position now confront-

ing us, and every effort is being made tomeet the problem by diversion of buyingsources where possible, and close super-vision of overhead costs. Fortunately, thestrong financial position now obtainingwill greatly assist the board in thisresponsible task."

Dealing with the accounts, the chair-man said that the letting of the QueenStreet building had proceeded satisfac-torily, all space being fully occupied dur-ing the year. Reference was made to theservices of Mr. X. R. Blomfield. formerlysecretary and director, and of the staff.Payment of the preference dividend andfinal dividend of r> per cent on ordinaryshares will be made to-day.

The retiring directors. Messrs. E. R.Eady. T. L. Hames and C. K. Mills, werere-elected.

TOOTH'S BREWERIES.

HIGHER INTERIM DIVIDEND.tAn interim dividend at the rate of 12

per cent per annum has been declared byTr>oth and Company, brewers, Sydney.Payment will be made on May IS.The interim payment last year was at therate of 11 per cent per annum, and thedirectors raised the final distribution to arate of 12 per cent per annum, making11% per cent for the year, againet 10% in1937.

COPRA PRICE HIGHER.

OPTIMISM IN SAMOA.

COCOA ALSO IMPROVES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

APIA, May 4.Following the rise of the copra price

in European and American markets,local copra buyers on May 3 raised thelocal price of copra from 2/6 to 4/ per1001b. With beautiful dry weather rul-ing, it is expected that the native andEuropean producers will start cuttinglarge quantities, and that trade gener-ally, especially in Savaii and the out-lying districts, will be greatly improved.

There is also reported an improve-ment in the cocoa price, as a consign-ment was sold in America a few days,i'_'o at 81 cents c.i.f. San Francisco, thehighest price obtained for Samoan cocoabeans for a considerable time.

HOT CROSS BUNS.

In the spiced buns which are associa-lated with (iood Friday, we see a mem-jorial, not only of the Crucifixion, but|of an ancient superstition. The belief]appears to have existed, from a very|early period, that bread baked on GoodlFriday had special virtues. It wae keptall through the year, and a little gratedin water wan used a* a specific for anyand every ailment. Years ago the cryof "One a penny, two a penny, hot crossbuns." was very generally heard, butthere are now no itinerant vendore ofthese spiced bun*, which are now orderedfrom the hakers in the came way asbread. It should, too. be noted, that hot|iTu,, buns are exclusive to Kngland, andlare not known on the Continent. '

PENNILESS TRAMP.FOUND £2 ON ROAD.

HANDED MONEY TO POLICE

"IT WASN'T MINE."

(Special.—By Air Maff.)

LONDON", April 22This ie a etory chiefly about a penni-

less tramp. It is also about two £1notes and the woman who lost them—and regained them.

They were returned to her to-day byIthe police.They had been handed to the police

by—the tramp.The tramp is Michael Mannion. No,he haen't any address, and he hasn'toften got any money.An old tweed hat, the old clothee

on his back, and hie old, heavy boots(with little sole left) are his property.

His age is 61, his face is creaeed byithe weather, and hie eyes are grevland honeet.

I On Saturday he walked from Watfordto Ameisham, and he was wearily ap-jproaching the workhouse gates insearch of sleep when those grey eyescaught something on the pavement.

Two pound notes he found there.He Was Tempted.

Two pound notes. What did he think,what did he say to himself? Of course,ihe wae tempted.I He hadn't handled so much moneyisince he last had a regular job, in ajdoekyard, three years ago. .

..

I But he has honest eyee. He took the!|two pound notes to the police station.

And he said to a reporter: "Nobodywould have known if I had kept it. Butit wasn't mine."

The two pound notes belonged toMrs. Elizabeth Herriott. of High Street.Amersham. She dropped them on herway to the grocer's to pay a bill. Herdietress almost made h# ill. Two pounds|U just half what she hae each weekito house, feed and clothe herself, her'husband and their eight children. j

She explained: "It takee about £2every week for our food, besides meat.We have meat and potatoes the firstthree days. Usually 'by Friday wehaven't much left but bread and drip-ping."

Mr. Herriott wanted to leave 5/ withthe police ae a reward for Michael Man-nion. The police pereuaded him that1/fl would be enough.

Michael Mannion said: "He didn'tneed to leave anything."

REFUSES TO TALK.

MAN SHOT IN THE BACK.

PROBLEM FOR SYDNEY POLICE


SYDNEY, May 11Detectives are etill trying to discover

who shot Richard Mealing, or Barker,aged 32, in Bayswater Avenue, Darling-hurst, at 4.4.") a.m. on Sunday.

Mealing, who is known to the policeand his acquaintances as "The Oyster,"because he w never known to give awayany information, lias refused to tell thepolice anything about tlio shooting.When they asked him how ho had conichy puts and bruises on his face, he saidthat earlier in the night he had beenin a brawl, but would 7iot say withwhom it had occurred or what the causeof it had been. He gave the police anaddress in Bourke Street, East Sydney,but was not known there. He* is awharf labourer.

Residents in Bayswater Avenue wereawakened by a loud report, followed bygroaning. Soon a small crowd in nightattire had gathered about Mealing, whowae lying in a pool of blood in the gate-way of one of the tenements. The bullethad entered the middle of his back,travelled through his body, and comeout on the right eide of his chest. Thepolice could not find the spent bullet,but the wound showed that it had beenof heavy calibre. The revolver hadevidently been pressed into his back-when it wae fired, for there were blackpowder marks around the wound.Detectives could find no one who hadwitnessed the shooting.

Mealing was hurried to hospital andgiven a blood tramfueion.

SYDNEY SCENE.BANKRUPT MINISTER.

CHINESE WHO DISAPPEARED

LINK DC £52,000 WIIX CASE.


SYDNEY, May 11The Rev. A. J. Bingley was granted his

discharge from bankruptcy this week as■soon as the required period of six monthshad elapsed. Mr. Bingley, whileMethodist minister at Bathurst, insti-tuted a prosecution to test the validityof the Sunday Observance Act. He lostthe case and had triple costs awardedagainst him. Being unable to pay them.he was adjudged bankrupt. In hisapplication for a discharge, he said thatthe possibilities of an adverse verdicthad never been considered bv theMinisters' Fraternal, and had

*

neverentered his own mind in view of legal'opinions they had obtained. The'Methodist conference subsequently passeda resolution exonerating him fromblame, but resolved that in future nominister should institute proceedingswithout the authority of the church.

Mr. Bingley said that hie reason forapplying for the discharge so soon wasthat the Church regarded a state of'

jbankruptcy as detrimental to the workof a minister. The creditors asked thatthe Court impose conditions whichwould ensure Bingley paying 10/ in thepound on his debte, but the judge re-fused the request, stating that Bingleywas only exercising hie legal right."

Church in Bakery.Within 25 miles of Sydney, at West

Pennant Hills, Presbyterians, Metho-dists, Anglicans and Baptists are stillattending church in a bakehouse, whichhas served the purpose for seven years.During that time two marriages andseveral christenings have been cele-brated. When the bakery was first usedas a church the congregation had onlyhntter and fruit boxes as seats, butnow they have proper pews, curtains are,

draped over the bread ovens to hidethem from eight and flowers help tomake a strange church more homely.Threats Against Teacher.

The schoolmaster at Uralla, who isalso the deputy-Mayor (Alderman Javjreceived dozens of letters from all overthe State after he removed a letter boxfrom the grave of the outlaw Thunder-bolt, because among the mail, left pre-sumably for Thunderbolt's ghost, werej obscene letters and others attackingcitizens for which Uralla Council couldhave been held responsible. One personeven wrote from Newcastle threateninghis life and home. "Aβ a schoolmastersaid Alderman Jay, "I think it wouldbe better if people were not broughtup to glorify the deeds of a bush-ranger." The council evidently took thesame view, for it decided that the let-ter box should disappear for good.

Soldier's Operations.Remarkable fortitude has Ibeen shownby Rowlan Lording, a Digger, whoserved with the 30th Battalion of theA.I.F. and who at the age of 17 wasshattered at Fromelles in 1916. His life

was despaired of because of hie terriblewounds and he once regained conscious-ness from an operation to find that thestretcher and the Union Jack to coverhis corpse had been placed at his bed-side. He lost the best part of six ribson his left side and his right arm fromabove the elbow, and after fighting hUway by sheer tenacity through f>3 majorsurgical operations he developed appen-dicitis. Even now he is seldom freefrom pain, but he forgets it on tlie longweek-ends, which he spends in his motorboat, fishing. He is married and ha*three children.

Another example ©/ high courage isa boy of two years and a half in theRyde. Hospital, Jimmy Camming, whohas a rare throat disease. Unable to-peak, and breathing in a tube in histhroat, he is surely the bravest childin Sydney. In six months he has bad10 operations and he may have to have

r>o before he is cured.Ordeal on Launch.

Two Yugoslavian steel workers, whoset out from Sydney in a launch lastWednesday for Wollongong, 50 milesdown the South Coast, were rescued onSunday by members of the CronullaSurf Club on surf skis after the launchhad been noticed drifting within view

of the beach since early on Saturdaymorning. When rescued,"the steel work-ers had not eaten for two days. Theysaid they had not sent out distresssignals because they did not want tocause any trouble. They had got asfar as Austinmer, which i's only 10 milesfrom Wollongong, but the engine thenbroke down. They hoisted a sail andtried to continue, but a stiiT wind blewthem back towards Sydney. One ofthem was forced to bail "continuouslyfor three hours while the other did hisbest to keep the launch stern on to theheavy following sea. They said theywould make another attempt to get toWollongong in the launch and thatwhen they got there they would live init.

QUINTS EMERGE.TO SEE THE KING.

GUARDED BY MOUNTIES.PARENTS GUESTS OF ROTAI.TT

CAIXAXDKR, April 28.> Arrangements" to bring the famous-1 Dionue quintuplets to Toronto, which'I King George and Queen Elizabeth will

visit early in their tour, have beenfinalised after months of uncertainty.

[ It will lie (he first time Yvonne,)! Annette. Kmile. Cecile and Marie Have.! lK?en more than 100 yards from the, j farmhouse where they were born and'I they will take the ISO niile trip by!| special train just six days before their(fifth birthday on May 28.

'! Disappointment was felt by admirers■'of the quintuplets and residents of thej.Yortlieril Ontario countryside where theyj were born when the official itinerary of■the Royal visit failed to include a visitIto tlio children, who are wards of theKing.

Ktforta were made to change the' itiii'Tiiry so as to include the quints'hirt h|i|;ii-e. but the Ottawa Governmenttook the position this could not be done.For a time Oliva Dionne. the quints'father, and Dr. Allan Da foe. theirphysician, felt it would be unwise totake the children any distance to seethe King and Queen, fearing the dangerto their health from contact with largecrowds.

I Finally the Ontario Governmentstepped in with an invitation to Dionne

Ito bring the children, his wife and hisother seven children to Toronto in *

special train and to meet Their Majes-ties in the legislative buildings there.Dionne demurred at first, but finallyconsented. He and his wife, humbleFrench-Canadian farmers, will haveluncheon with the King and Queen.

Arrangements are being made to: have the children guarded by Royal

s Canadian Mounted Police on their tripIto Toronto and return, just as Their

! Majesties will be guarded on their tripjacrose Canada and back.

THE LOAN PROPOSAL.

/"or ffc« cause that lacks assistance,For the wrong that reeds resistance.For the future in the distance,And the good that ire can do.

The issue of the prospectus o£ a loan ofJC4,000,000, at an interest rate giving ayield of £4 7/5 per cent over a Ion"; term, isan obvious symptom of a change in theGovernment's thinking, and whether it beconsidered that the change was dictated byprudence or by necessity its importance isthe .sf.iiK-. In his lirst Budget Air. Nashwns able to say that the money requiredfor the expanded programme of public workswas available without borrowing from thepublic. In its second and third years theGovernment again drew on Departmentalbalances —in this following precedent—andalso on Ileserve Bank credit, for housingand public works as well as for the purposesof the Marketing Department. Revenuemeanwhile continued buoyant and productionhigh. But when the price of wool fell,when production dropped, when importshad to be checked because sterling fundswere disappearing, and when, by cheekingimports the prospects of revenue from atleast two lucrative sources were narrowed,the (iovcrnment's difficulties became obvious.The question has been what the Governmentwould do to meet those difficulties. Thedecision to go to the public for money is animportant part of the answer.

As to the terms of the. loan, opinions areiiliiio>t unanimously favourable. TheGovernment, through its agent, the ReserveBank, has obviously considered with gmttcare the interests and preferences ofinvestors. Most notable of the conditionsi.s the novel one intended to ensure that i£the market price of the loan falls below theissue price there will always be a buyer—the Government—for 5 per cent of- it.This should have a stabilising effect. Theprovisions enabling the use of the stuck inpayment of death duties, and making itexempt from stamp duties on transfer arealso welcome. The imposition of stampduty is burdensome to small holders.Though the time in which applications willbe received rs short, there is reason toexpect that the Government's first internalloan will be readily and quickly subscribed.A prompt subscription would be of thegreatest value to Mr. Nash when he isnegotiating for a renewal of the seventeenmillions falling due in London in Januaryand for the raising of additional funds inLondon for defence purposes.. It should alsoremove a great deal of the uncertaintywhich has beset the money market formonths past As the Prime Ministerhas indicated already, local bodies arcnow to be enabled to offer terms which willbe attractive to investors.

In feeling satisfaction with these termsinvestors and the public generally -houldalso feel glad that the Government. lia.sresisted the temptation to embark oncurrency experiments which would havedamaged its own prestige in New Zen landand New Zealand's prestige abroad. Thetemptation, to at least a section of theGovernment's followers, was stronglyalluring. The Government had made theReserve Bank a State-owned and controlledinstitution* and had obtained from it, inaccommodation for various purposes, nearlytwenty million pounds. If twenty millions,why not, say, forty millions ? So rnri theargument. The reply, which was given, byMr. Nash at the Labour Conference, wasthat too much use of Keservc Hank creditwould increase the country's difficulties " l>yincreasinjr the pressure of purchasing power;on the Hiiiount of gm>ds coming forward forsale, and thus tending to raise their prices."The Government, in fact, appears to haverenlised that the rise in the cost of livingis not unconnected with the amount ofaccommodation it lias had from the ReserveHank to date. It is now attempting tobreak the wages-costs circle, or spiral, bymeans of a price-regulating tribunal. Theborrowing decision may be much moreefficacious, provided production ismaintained.

IS THERE A PLAN?When needs must, the Government has

no difficulty in overcoming its generalreluctance to encourage immigration. Ithas noAV engaged in England the firsthundred of five hundred artisans it wantsfor works under its housing scheme. Unlikesome of the Australians, the Englishartisans will arrive with the intention ofmaking New Zealand their permanent placeof 1 residence. It is good that they shouldbe coming. But on the day that the Ministerof Housing announced their engagement hiscolleague, the Minister of Internal Affairs,was telling a deputation the old, old storythat " the Government aims at finding workfor New Zealanders before embarking on animmigration scheme," and a few dnys beforethe Minister of Labour spoke of his hopesof training adult New Zealanders in varioustrades. If these three statements representthree aspects of a consistent Governmentpolicy, till we can sny is that its consistencyis thoroughly disguised. If the Government,bceiii!-" of a shortage of workers needed forStiitc housing purposes, is justified inbringing men from abroad, privateemployers would be justified in bringingin immigrants and should be encouragedend helped by the Government todo so. But this—the Government mightsay—would be unplanned immigration', andho it would. Is the importation of housingconstruction workers part of a plan? Ifso, tmV public ought to know what the planh. K not, then the evil, of unplanned".migration will not be les* became thee,:;;™;; at the °- et «•

Banana Planters and the Quota.Whatever New Zealaiiders may think of

State control of the marketing f>t" importedfruit, the banana planters of Western Samoaare at present quite satisfied, but the opera-tion of the new system is being eloselywatched, as any further expansion of thebanana industry depends entirely on the pur-chasing power of the New Zealand consumerand the quotas, granted to the territory bythe New Zealand Government. So far thescheme is stated to be working smoothly andsuccessfully for both native and Europeanplanters. About a third of the. crop is nowproduced on European plantations.

Making it Easy.A hint that the indiscriminate use of

slung might be taken as a reflection of mentallaziness was given by Mr. .T. W. Shaw, M.A..in an address to the Auckland Itotury Clubyesterday. "As a living, growing, colourfulspeech, slung can be a line thing in its properplace," Mr. Shaw said. "But it can also bea very bad tiling. For instance, if we areshown a beautiful picture we .may say, 'Isn'tit stunning'/' or 'Isn't it boskcr'r' We havegiven nothing but a vague, half-baked formof approval, with no veal analysis of ourthoughts. There is no working of the mindon the real issues—simply the use of an easyword that expresses a vague direction and nodefinite decision."

CONSCRIPTION.

BRITAIN TAKES PLUNGE.

(By SIR ARTHUR WILLERT.)

LONDON", April 27It* relative modesty will not detract from

the importance attached in diplomatic qTiartershere to Mr. Chamberlain's conscription pro-gramme. The. great thing i* felt to be thatBritain has taken the plunge. She has takenit, too, at the psychological moment. It i*hoped that it will have shown Herr Hitlerthat the Eurojx'an peace front is reallvstiffening in time to influence hie reply toPresident Roosevelt to-morrow.

The conscription programme i« the resultof much pressure upon Mr. Chamberlain sincelie announced the British guarantee to Rumaniaand , Greece two weeks ago. Aβ I reportedthen, public satisfaction with the announce-ment was not entirely shared behind theecenes. It was donMed whether the announce-ment would be taken seriously unless it werereinforced by conscription. Doubts were almostimmediately justified by the news from Europe.A stream of me«!afree jKiured in from "peacefront" capitals that promisee of'strong actionwould 7iot pull the peace front together unlessaccompanied by strong preparations. FromBerlin and Rome, it was reported that per-formance as well as words wae needed toconvince the dictators that Mr. Chamberlainat last meant business. Paris was particularlyemphatic. It was pointed out that Francewar; honeycombed by Xazi propaganda sayingthat Britain was still not in earnest.

Labour's Demands.Mr. Chaml>erlain'3 first answer to such

representations was his reshulHe of theCabinet, with the- creation of a rudimentaryMinistry of Supply. This satisfied nobody.The Conservative conscriptionists inside aridoutside the Cabinet redoubled their pressureand have now won. The fact that Mr.Chamberlain lias followed rather than led docsnot, however, matter. In .some ways it isactually to the geiul. It will assist in dis-arming Labour criticism. That criticism isbased upon the necessity of conscripting arma-ment profits and wealth tit least a« effectivelyas man-power. Tlio Hii<l :«-t may do somethingto disarm this criticism. So may Mr. Chamber-lain's promise that In , will tax armamentsprofits adequately. !'. :1 a much more potentsedative will lie the fact that the NationalGovernment has a<l >uted conscription mostunwillingly in response to a demand from thethreatened countries of Europe.

There is reason to believe that Mr.Chamberlain is cure more quietly trying topersuade Signor Mussolini to play ball. Hissupporters have a plausible explanation for(bis. The explanation also applies to theBritish Ambassador's return to Berlin. It isthat it is obviously the business of Britainto keep up diplomatic intercourse with thedictators as long a<s there is any chance ofanything coming out of President Roosevelt'sappeal. Also, there is just one chance oftrouble between Rome and Berlin. Yugoslaviapresents it. She is under tremendous pressurefrom Berlin to join the dictatorial combine.she i-j being told her choice lies between com-pliance and obliteration.

The population is restlessand discontented and interested only in foodand peace. The plight of Madrid is particularly!>»<!—γ-o bad that it is one of the reasons whySiyrior Mussolini postponed his victory march.Merlin is consequently beginning to wonderwhether (General Franco i> the right irisfy'il-uu'iit for turning Spain into an effectiveservan* of the dietntors and whether it wouldnot be better to eliminate him. This HerrHitler might do fhron:rh the Falangists, whohave been growing steadily more Nazi amiless Fascist.

" l:The Falangists have two leaders who might

lie persuaded to play towards General Francothe role that Herr Seyss. Inquart with hisAustrian Nazis played towards ChancellorSi-lmschnij>g. One is Sonor Suner. GeneralFranco's Minister of the Interior. The otheri.s General Vague. Vague, though a regularsoldier, is said to have Socialist leanings, tofavour the break-up of the big estates and tobe anti-Catholic.

From a paragraph in the London "XeweChronicle" I gather that a farmer, Mr.Dungworth, who also happens to be landlord

of the Cricketer Inn, atEGSTRAORDINARY. Dore, near Sheffield, liasa Brown Orpington hen

which lays a blue ej«*. That in itself Jβ atleast extraordinary, but of equal interest toUβ is the statement of Mr. Dungworth thatthe name of the breed of chook is Araueanaand that they are bred <n New Zealand.Except that A grade eggs'are being sold inAuckland—the common white or brown, thatis—at nearly fourpence each, and that I likethem boiled for five minutes before droppingthem into the e<r<* cup, I do not claim to knowvery much about eggs. There is nothingclever in a white hen laying a brown ejrfr, ora black hen laying a white egg, but thisbrown Araueana chook has broken away fromthe orthodox '.ly planting a blue egg in hernest. I wonder if any of our poultry-breedershave ever heard of the Araueana breed, or ieit just 6O much hooey?—Johiuiy.

Owing to being doubtful as to the workingof the import control prohibitions. I decidedto cancel my order for a 776 Rolls Royce. Bill

Morrk (as he was for-SCRAP IRON. merly known) told mv

cobber in London thatthey daren't stop his buses from coming hereor he would withdraw his sub. from the NewZealand Society for Dehorned Buffaloes, besidesother charities that have received a tidy wadfrom his cheque book. I had noticed anancient-looking tourer, evidently an Englishjob (oddly enough, the gears, were on the "run-ning board, probably. I thought, to give thedriver more leg room), so I asked the price."Three quid." was the surprising reply, andthe man added, "that's what it cost me tofreight it from Oainaiu. The cam shaft'stwisted." "Can you untwist it?" I asked."No, that's an engineer's job," he informed me.Anyway, I paid the £3 and engaged anengineer to fix it for £20. The license costme a bit. too. I tried to start it this morning,but nothing doing. So I sent ray grand-daughter for a. mechanic. The man said, "Thatcar don't go by steam." "I am quite awareof that." I replied (with hauteur). "Well, whyhave you filled the carburettor with water?"lie asked. "I have not. , ' I replied: "it musthave l>een the rain overnight." He got it togo. and on reaching the Mechanics' Bayvehicular ferry the official isaid: "If you getthat thing on the ferry are you sure youcan get it off?" At that moment we heard anoise under the car—a largish metal box hadfallen under the chassis. "Whatever'* that?"1 said. "It's your battery fallen from therusty cage," he said. "Come on now. mister,push the —— wreck out of the wayr you areblocking a line of cars." Pre-war models are.-unsatisfactory. T wish I had that twenty quidba<?k in my pocket.—A.A.P.

»tA S ?T eial di *Patch to the Associ-ated Press says that the King'spresence ,n Canada will throw intobod relief the positions of thenations of the British Commonwealth>n relation to one another, andparticularly their equality of statusAll State arts dliriiijr the Royal visitwill d.sdose that the King holds exactlythe same relationship to DominionPar lament, and Dominion Ministers ashe holds to the Parliament and Minis-ters ~f the United Kingdom. This ism accordance with the Statute ofWestminster, under which Great Britainand tije Dominions are defined asautonomous communities within theEmpire, in no way subordinate to oneanother, though united by commonalle,ar,ance to the Crown, and freely

associated as members of the BritishCommonwealth of Nations.

From the moment His Majesty setsfoot on Canadian soil, to be met by theentire Cabinet, his position as Kin" ofCanada, acting with respect to Canadianaffaire upon the advice of his respon-sible Canadian Ministers, will be madeapparent. His Majesty has not broughta Minister from the United Kingdom.He will be accompanied throughout histour by the Prime Minister, Mr. W. L.Mackenzie King, who will act as Minis-ter in attendance in the full constitu-tional sense;

The proposal that the CanadianCabinet should share this honour hasbeen dropped, been use in the CanadianGovernment the Prime Minister is alsoSecretary for External Affairs, and inview of the international situation it isessential that the King should be keptin closest contact with developmentsabroad from Whitehall. It will be Mr.Mackenzie King's duty to sec thatimportant dispatches are communicatedto His Majesty and an opportunity givento discuss them.

Parliament will be unable to completeits business in time to allow HisMajesty to prorogue it. This wouldhave been the first time that the Kinghas performed this Royal function out-side Westminster. However, while inOttawa ' His. Majesty may attend asitting of the Senate and give the Royalassent to certain bills.

SUBMARINE OFF COAST STORT.

QUEBEC, May 13.Rumours are running wild, but it is

officially denied that the delay in thearrival of the Empress of Australia isdue either to the King's illness, theinternational situation or the presenceof a submarine off the coast. The latterrumour is due to the operations ofminesweepers off Nova Scotia since aforeign submarine was reported off themouth of Halifax harbour three weeksago.

Bulletins posted last night statingthat the Empress of Australia "mayarrive on Wednesday morning" areregarded doubtfully.

The staff of the Chateau Frontenacto-night dined on choice trout intendedfor Their Majesties and 250 guests atan official luncheon to-day, while orderswere hurriedly telegraphed to secure afresh supply of Canadian delicacies.Thousands of snowbirds, however, aresafe on ice. These migratory birds, thesize of sparrows, are only procurablein April, and they will be the highlightof the luncheon. Four breastsembalmed in jelly are required for eachportion.

The hotels are contented, however,as Quebec is crowded with waitingvisitors.

LATE SPRING.SNOW STILL LYING.

Worst Ice Floes ExperiencedSince 1889.

TRIALS TOR MARINERS

United Press Association.—Copyright

(Received 12 noon.)QUEBKC. Mav 1.3.

The special representative of theAssociated Press states that the iceconditions which delayed theEmpress of Australia were the worstexperienced at this time of the yearsince 1889, according to masters ofAtlantic steamers which arrived atQuebec yesterday and to-day. Oneencountered floes lo feet thick float-ing southward from Labrador coast.

Referring to comment that as theypot through the Kmpress of Australiashould have, masters explained that theychanged course and found open waterfree from fog. All vessels were com-pelled to adhere to the traffic lanes laiddown by the North Atlantic Conference,but masters were given discretionarypowers in an emeigeney. It was pointedout, however, that if the Royal lineraltered course and nosed into an areawhere there were no other vessels aheadto report conditions, the Royal partymight have been placed in even greaterdanger.

Masters agreed that it would be fool-hardy to move with the fog maskingfloes. In normal years sea ice has longsince melted, but Canada is experiencingan exceptionally late spring. There arestill heavy snowdrifts about Quebec.

The inconveniences and complicationsarising from the late arrival are beingcheerfully accepted. The curtailment ofOttawa's programme is causing no shed-ding of tears outside that city.

It is felt in many quarters that thecapital and officialdom are claiming toolarge a share of Royal attention.Quebec's only English language news-paper to-night recalls the tale ofCanute's courtiers, and comments thatthe Mackenzie King Government hasnow discovered that fog banks will notlift at the Royal pleasure.'

It adds that Their Majesties will bethe more welcome because of thefatigues and perils of the voyage.

Well-informed Nazi sources are ofthe opinion that the Government isplanning retaliation for the British-Turkish pact. There is a hint theymay withdraw diplomats fromPoland, Turkey, and even tfroniBritain, says the British United Presscorrespondent.

The Moscow newspaper "Izvestia"declares that the agreement betweenBritain and Turkey is a step towardsthe creation of an effective peace frontto face further extension of aggression,and adds that the vital interests ofTurkey make such a policy imperative.

Turkey has long been the objectiveof appetites of aggressive countriesowing to her strategical importance assovereign of the Black Sea and theStraits.

The first comment on the pactbetween Britain and Turkey, whichappears in the semi-official" journal"Politika," points out that Turkey hasabandoned neutrality, which has alwaysbeen the policy of her Balkan Ententeallies, and she has finally lined up withthe democracies, says a Belgrademessage.

Official circles refer to the pact as agreat triumph for British policy, andthink it will be a decisive influence inthe foreign policy of the Balkan States.

The British United Press Berlin cor-respondent says that it is reliably statedthat Count Ciano, Italian Foreign Minis-ter, will arrive on Sunday. He is ex-pected to stay several days, duringwhich there will be the ceremonial ofsigning the Germano-Italian militaryagreement. Herr Hitler is expected tomake an important speech stressing thecombined military weight of Italv andGermany.

Attitude of Poland and Rumania.A British official wireless message

eays that further communication hasbeen received by the Foreign Office fromthe Soviet relevant to negotiationsbetween Britain and Russia, and isunder examination. A reply had notarrived when Mr. Chamberlain answeredquestions in the House of Commons. He ]said that lie was unable to amplifyWednesday's statement, adding thatViscount Halifax would have an oppor- jtunity to pursue conversations with theSoviet representative at Geneva.

Mr. Chamberlain also answered aquestion relative to the attitudes ofPoland and Rumania towards the Rus-sian negotiations which, he said, werewell known to Britain, though they hadnot been given formal shape.

He insisted that it would be inappro-priate for him to disclose these views,all the more since the recent visits ofM. Potemkin, Soviet Under-Commissarfor Foreign Affaire, to Bucharest andWarsaw would have given the oppor-tunity for an exchange of views betweenthe Soviet representative and the twoGovernments.

Mr. R. A. Butler was asked what wereBritain's obligations towards Estonia,Latvia and Lithuania, and whether inthe event of Russia being involved inwar as a result of defending any ofthese States against aggression, Britainwae under an obligation to come to theaid of Russia.

Mr. Butler replied: "The Governmentis under no obligations to these Statesexcept such as they may derive fromtheir membership of the League ofNations."

Trustworthy non-Polish investigatorswho visited the regions in which Ger-mans were allegedly victims of terrorism,report that the allegations are withoutfoundation.

Press reports from Warsaw vesterdavstated that 40.000 young "Germans,ostensibly tourists, had entered Danzigin the past ten days. They were ex-pected to participate in the parade ofDanzig's Brown Shirts and BlackGuards, which the authorities did notseek to prevent.

DUCE'S SPEECH."EXTREME CLARITY."Reaffirmed Desire For Peace

And Stated Problems.

IRONIC BRITISH COMMENT.United Press Association.—Copyright.

(Received 12.30 p.m.)LOXDOX. May 15.

"I spoke with extreme clarityyesterday," said Signor Mussolini,opening a new motor factory atTurin."I reaffirmed a desire for peace, and

also stated some of the problems whichmust, be resolved before they become sochronic as to be dangerous to every-one."

He added that he recently initiated"the policy of the motor," but the inter-national situation had slowed down it*rhythm.

The remainder of the speech was con-fined to his social policy.The "Daily Telegraph," commenting

editorially on Signor Mussolini's speech,says: "There is cortainly bitter andironic humour in the circumstances thatthe democracies are reproached with notbeing sincerely devoted to the cause ofpeace, by a leader who boasts of thesubjugation of Abyssinia and the'union' of Albania with Italv.

"The democracies are certainly guiltyof organising in defence of their inde-pendence and freedom, but even in thedistorting mirror of II Duce's argumentthat act can hardly be made to lookaggressive, except to those threateningtheir independence." "

PRIME MINISTER EMPHATIC.

NO REDUCTION IN WAGES. 'I -

(By Tolpsrnph.—Own Correspondent.) ,

WKLUNGTuN. this day. 'A pujrjr' , i inn that certain drastic- i

Pcnnomv mciisiiros hnd hecti rr-cum- Inifnderl In IMr Cm ei iimcnl from re*pon 'niblp ou.irter* wim referred to the I ,rime 'Minister, Ihe Kt. lion. M. ,|. Savage, in-it, interview. I

"l.'i'i ommrmliil imw have been made 'from many different noiirce* that the 'li'ox I'l-limcnt, should rigidly curtail o\-periditiire," siild Mr. Savage in reply. "Itook it that, these recoin meiiilat ionsincinl I hut, the Goxcruuient should reflucp wngeit, retrench the Civil Service ;stall's, iiiid stop all major public works.I can «ay now that the Government hasnot the, faintest Idea of putting any ofthese HutrgcstiotiH into operation, If wefall in tho policy we liuvo been carry-ing out. wp. will lnivo to make room forsomeone else.

"Hecornmendations of tluit sort pointthe way to the destruction of the foun-dation of industry, and that is not thepolicy of this Government," added Mr.Suvago. "Wo want to build New Zea-land hy maintaining for the people that,*t.an<4nrd of living which wa* broughtto them when the Labour Governmentassumed oMlce."

Mr. Savage said that the people ofNew Zealand hud an easy choice. Theyhad to make up their minds whetherthey would support, the present (iovern-iiicrit, with its forward policy, or go backlit thn old order of reduced wages."Under previous Governmerite," con-tinued the Prime Minister, "it was thecustom to balance overseas trade hy bor-rowing and hy reducing wage*. At cer-tain times iin<l in certain circumstancesoverseas borrowing may be unavoidable,hut for many years successive Govern-ments In New Zealand have reducedtaxation in times of prosperity and haveborrowed lavishly abroad. That sort ofthing is not going to occur again."

Choice Essential.Tho Prime Minister said that the fiov-

ernment hnd to make a choice on behalfof tho people hctween making a reduc-tion in wages all round, with substantialcuts In the Civil Service, nnd operatingii policy of selecting its imports to bringabout a needed readjustment of its over-seas trade balance. On its assumptionof uttice In I1»:if» the Government com-menced the preparation of its plans toreverse the policy of low wages andlow standard of living, which had beenfollowed by its predecessors.

It wag ohvioue to everybody nt thattime, he Raid, that trade could not beexpanded on the banle adopted by formerGovernments. The Labour Government'spolicy wna designed to give the peoplean immediate increase in their purchas-ing power. This had been brought aboutby increasing wages. The Itrst resultof increased warns had been a> substan-tial increase in importations.

"We knew that ultimately we wouldbe faced with difficulty an a result ofthis policy," continued Mr. Savage, "butwe went as far as we could with it. mltis now necessary for tho Governmentdeliberately to plan selection of thecountry's imports. We have chosen forourselves a methi d of importation thatwill assist us to adjust the trade bal-ance of New Zealand and at the sametime develop in this country those in-dustries that are necessary for its pro-groei.

Tariffs Objectionable."Wβ might have chosen another way

out. We might have imposed high tariffbarriers, but this would have been abreach of the Ottawa Agreement andwould not have given us the right ofselection that we have under the pre-sent system. The conscious regulationof imports is preferable to reducing theIncome of our people. Our opponents canchose for themselves any other methodfor bringing about the necessary changein the country's' economic position. Ibelieve that they would fall back on theold principle of borrowing in London.They Would adopt a policy of curtail-ment and restriction of income withinNew Zealand. This Government does notpropose to do that.

"The safe course and the only coursethat will maintain the standard of livingin this country Iβ to develop the Dom-inion's secondary industries. The peopleof New Zealand demand a reasonablestandard of comfort, and there is noreason why they should not achieve thatstandard by their own efforts. No oneels* can do this for them. Reducingwages will not do it, nor will cur-tailment of necessary public works.Borrowing will not do it either. It can

, only be done by the effort! of the peopleof New Zealand themselves, and theymust keep oa building their own indus-tries."

"To-day the Government is facing twobig iwues. On* to to meet it* obliga-tion* overseas and the other is to main-tain the strength of New Zealand'ssecondary industries. Realising thi«, theGovernment will turn a deaf ear tothose who are advocating wage reduc-tion*. In the circumstances in whichNew Zealand is placed to-dey ouropponents would have acted ae theyhave always acted, 1* said Mr. Savage."They would hare reduced wage* andborrowed oversea* to bringabout an auto-matIβ improvement in the trad* balanceoverseas. We, on the other hand, areHim ing to protect New Zealand's Indus-trie* and to obtain • favourable balancein London by the regulation of ourimport*, and deliberately selecting onlytli(we goods that are essential.

Borrowing for Supplies."Th« only borrowing that I would

favour would be borrowing to obtainMipnlie* of raw material for u*e in XewZealand fflctortas," continued the PrimeMinister. "I won't apologise to anyonetor that. I am bound to say here that•ome people have funny ideas about fln-trnvV*l?.iu P *? mn» wto use the conn-J* *i

ed,t " J,!** , •«"» t« for-

?„ r™X *re ,W>« {n ew Zealand, not£J: ~°n, •»*v th»t 1* * Londonwhere we need the credits." Mr. Savagedeclared that curtailment of publicworks employees would not be consid-ered. Th» Government intended to shiftmon from public, works to secondaryIndustries when opportunities wereavailable, the object being to bring about

a better balanced production. Expan-sion of tho Dominion's induntrie* andpayment of economic wages were thetwo important factor* in progress.Workers who were earning good wageswer» better buyers of Great Britain'sgoods than tho*e who wen, on lowwage*. Reduced wages would destroyGreat Britain'* market in Xew Zealandiin<l that, In its turn, would destroy NewZealand'e market in Great Britain.

FARMER'S CRITICISM.

PRIMARY PRODUCE PAYS.

DEPENDENCE STRESSED.I

Explaining tliat it was in a friendlyway criticism of what he described as"an obvioiwly organised campaign" infavour of Now Zealand secondary in-dustries wa« made by Air. W. W. Mul-liollaml, Dominion president of the NewZealand Farmers' Union, in officiallyopening the thirty-ninth mutual Auck-land provincial conference of the unionto-day. Captain H. M. Kushworth, pro-vincial president, was in tho chair.

"Almost every day there ie a tre-nier.doiiis boont for manufactures andthe {rreat *trides allegedly being made,"Mr. Miilhollaiid said, in ])ojnting outthat it woukl seem there had been someaimiigoment between manufacturersand the Minii+ter of Industries and Com.merce, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, for thispropaganda, which was in the speaker'sophiion greatly exaggerated.

The tendency was to infer thatprimary industry was not as importantus manufacturer:, and that even if theoverseas markets failed secondary ni-dUβtries would be able to provide allthat was necessary to retain the pre-sent standard of living.

" Ignorance of Facts.""Such a statement could only be made

in complete ignorance of actual facts,"Mr. Mulholland said.

An examination of the figures relat-ing to imports showed that out of the£.V),000.0(M) or £50.000.1)00 spent on thornonly about £I.").IMM>.O(M) wu* neeountedfor l>y finished Another £."i,O()O.lMM)wae unclassified, but to give the bene-fit of tin* doubt one could rai«e theprevious figure to £20.000.000. That lefta balance of £:».~>.000,000 for rawmaterials and unfinished goods.

Thia sum could be paid for only byexports. Not a manufacturer couldturti a wheel or get raw materialsunless the necessary goods were paidfor by produce grown on Now Zealandfarms.

"Can we continue to produce andexport as we have recently?" the speakerasked, in stressing the fact that itwould be necessary to sustain theexport values revealed in the last threeyears' records, if the standard of livingwas to be retained.

He pointed out that difficulties anddangers had been created by exchangecontrol under which the New Zealandpound had two values. The farmers'difficulties were beinjr increased by highcosts, and tho widening of the gapbetween the internal and externalvalue of the currency would accentuatethe position.

Deterioration was now going on inthe farming industry and would be■■rialer n« time went on. It would'>;:'.:■' herculean methods to overcome thisteii'lercy.

Mr. Mulholland added 'cliat the effectof the Government's policy on the good-will of overseas customers must also beconsidered.

APPRENTICES.HELPING ADULTS.

ASSISTANCE BY UNIONS.

EXTENSION TO FACTORIES.

New Zealand's scheme for the trainingof adult apprentices was referred totoday by the Minister of Housing, theHon. IT. T. Armstrong, who was formerlyMinister of labour in the presentCabinet. "I notice that the apprentice-whip commissioner and chairman of tin*Xew South Wales Employment Councilstated yesterday when visiting Auck-land that provision bed been made inhi* State for 2000 boys leaving schooland 1000 adult apprentices,"' said theMinister. "11.- ills,, S ii;tl that the short-age of appivrl ii i'- \v;is much greaterthan i>nt'eli-it:-d and that about 3000Mibsiili-" I iippi entices bad Ik, en placed,and that it \v;is now considered unsafeto go further, and no more applicationswere being considered.

"That means that he is speaking forthe whole of the industry of New SouthWales," continued Mr. Armstrong."What New South Wale*; is doing nowwe have been doing for two years bylegislative authority and we have nolimit in respect to the number of adultapprentices. We took power to do thisin IOJJIi. Youths over IS years of agowere- included and there was no limitconcerning maximum age. As a matterof fact permits have been granted formen up to 3.~> years of age at rates ofpay considered reasonable by the

j Minister of Labour."Well Received.

Asked how the trades unions had re-ceived the scheme in view of publishedcomment from time to time that theunions were not in favour of what was

J being done,~

Mr. Armstrong said thereI had been practically no opposition. AsMinister of La I tour he had had certainpowers to grant permission for adultapprentices to be employed without eon-sulfation, but he had submitted each

! case to the apprentices committees, andduring the two years the Act wasadministered by him there were not sixca<*es in the whole Dominion in which

I exception had been taken by any union."What happened was that every

assistance was given by the unions con-cerned," he added. "They were out toassist and not to hinder. Over 1200apprentices under the scheme had beenemployed, tho vast majority beingengaged in the building trades. Those

■ employed at carpentering and bricklay-ing are subsidised."

The Minister added that at thepresent time consideration was beinggiven to the question of extending thescheme on a subsidy basis to factories,and the Minister of Labour, the Hon. P.C. Webb, wns now discussing detailswith manufacturers and the unions con-cerned.

Copied by Australia."New South Wales has copied what

New Zealand put into operation," con-cluded Mr. Armstrong. "The only dif-ference between the New South Walessystem and tho system in New Zealandis that ours is the better scheme. ]

remember a representative coming fromNew South Wales to Wellington 7o findout what the Dominion wa« doing inregard to adult apprentices and lateranother representative of Australiamade inquiries concerning our placementservice, and both schemes were adoptedacross the Tasnian."

"A FRAUD."LENIENCY ABUSED.

YOUNG MAN'S OFFENCES.S.M. GIVES FINAL CHANCE.

After hearing Mr. Allan Moody, coun-sel for Leonard Indies Spence (25), whoappeared before him in the PoliceCourt to-day on several charges, Mr.C. K. Orr Walker, S.M., changed hismind, and, instead of ordering theaccused a period of reformative deten-tion, admitted him to probation to ftjvehim a last chance of rehabilitatinghimself.

Spence pleaded guilty to a charge ofincurring a debt or liability with acity firm on January 13 last and ob-taining, credit to the value of £5 4/6by fraud, and, on July 20, 1038, withobtaining from Leslie Clarence Jeffs£25 by falsely representing that a

motor car was his own property andunencumbered, and. on October S>, 1038,with obtaining £5 from Jeffs byfalsely representing that he had a sumof between £400 and £500 in Welling-ton, and that he required £5 for ex-penses to collect the money.

Detective (iordon, who interviewedaccused on May 3, produced a state-ment voluntarily made by Spence inwhich lie admitted the offences. Spencesaid that because he was short of moneyand that his landlady had seized hisclothing he went to a city firm andbought gnnxl*, charging them up to amaster mariner whom he knew. Spencealso explained how the other offence*were committed.

Detective - Sergeant McHugh saidSpence inserted an advertisement in anewspaper for the loan of .£25 for ashort period, Leslie Clarence. Jeffs, abluejacket in the Navy, replying to theadvertisement, with the result that thetwo men met. Jeffs asked what securitySpenee could offer and Spence gave asa security a baby motor car which hehad in his possession, but which wasnot his property." The loan was to befor three months, the interest beingfixed at £8 for the amount advancedbv .left's.

Mr. Orr Walker.- That worke out at- miething like 200 jM?r cent per annum!

In October when Jeffs saw Spenceiibout the matter, Spence said he had£500 at Wellington and added that hewanted to go there to get the moneyto repay Jeffs. He told Jeffs he wanted£5 for hie expenses to Wellington, andthis eum the sailor gave him. Spencedid not go to Wellington.

"Now, sir. there is nothing whateverthat can )>e said in Xpence's favour."said Mr. MeHugh. "He came out ofprison on January 11 last, and a day orso afterwards lie committed a furtheroffence. He's a fraud and does notappear to wish to go straight. He wasadmitted to three years' probation onJune 27, 1038, for "false pretences, butdid not make the restitution ordered. OnDecember 12 last he was sentenced toone month's imprisonment for breach ofprobation, end on February 13 last, fortheft, he was convicted and ordered tocome up for sentence when called upon."

Counsel's Appeal."This young man of 25 is probably

not deserving of much sympathy, but ifyour Worship could, at* this late hour,see your way to give him a final chance,he might rehabilitate himself," said Mr!Allan Moody. "I would ask your Wor-ship to try and experiment with mercyand the law. If he could be admittedon a full period of probation, say, fiveyears, I think he would do we'll. Hewould go from this Court with a chancewhich lie probably does not deserve. Inhis? youth he has been spoiled, but Ido not think it is too late to save himnow. I know that had the mastermariner, to whose account he chargedgoods, been in Auckland, he would haveassisted Spence. This master mariner wasa friend of Spence and his family. Spenceis now working and earning agood wage, and if he is given his finalchance he could make restitution. Idoubt if another period in gaol would dohim any good. I know it is asking agood deal in seeking another chance forthis young man, but I really do thinkit might have the desired effect withhim."

The magistrate said he was asked todo something out of the ordinary—toRive probation to a young man whohad had chances, but who had offendedagain. "But I .have seen eases of thissort being made good by the sympa-thetic assistance of the probationofficer," added Mr. Orr Walker. "It isa question of delving down and seeingif there is any good left in him. Withthe proper treatment and assistance, hemight make pond for the balance ofhis life. I had practically decided togive him two years' reformative deten-tion before Mr. Moody addressed me,so Spence therefore knows what's instore for him if he makes a break. Itis going a long way in giving him pro-bation again, but If he has any good inhim and some common sense he willsee that th

#e Court is going out of its

way to aswiwt him. I will <ri\e himthis last chance l>v admitting him toprobation for three years and orderinghim to make restitution in full byinstalments us fixed by the probationofficer."

The total restitution fixed was £354/6. The magistrate fixed the late ofinterest to be paid on the loan at 6per cent.

HIGHER RETURN.

LOCAL BODY LOANS

RATE OF 4| PER CENT.

GOVERNMENT'S DECISION.

"UNEXERCISED AUTHORITIES,


WELLINGTON, this day.

In an interview to-day, the PrimeMinister, the Right Hon. M. J. Savage,stated that, in connection with the posi-tion arising out of the notationof the Government's internal loan, con-sideration had been given to the ques-tion of adjustment of the rate of in-terest for local body borrowing in theDominion.

The new rate for local bodies, lie said,would bo 4} per cent as compared with4 ]>or centum on (■overnment issues.

The slightly higher rate wifl placelocal bodies in a position to obtain afair share of tlie funds available forinvestment from time to time, and thusenable essential works under theirjurisdiction to be carried on.

Regarding existing unexercisedauthorities to borrow at per cent,Mr. Savage eaid that on applicationbeing made to the Treasury arrange-ments would be made for the iseue ofan amending' Order-in-Council authoris-ing the local bodies concerned to bor-row at the new rate of 4£ per cent.

Mr. Savage intimated that whilemany of the larger local bodies woulddoubtless iind it possible to borrow ata lower rate, it may be necessary at alater date in the caee of the smallerlocal authorities to provide for somevariation in the issue price of theirloans. This, however, would not affectthe new rate which the Governmentproposes to stabilise at 4± per cent fortins class of borrowing.

S.O.S. CALL.HEARD AT AWARUA.

AEROPLANE IN DISTRESS?MANY MIXCS FROM X.Z.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)WELLINGTON, this day.

A clearly defined S.O.S. call wasreceived by the operator at the Awaruaradio station on the 18-metre waveabout 7.45 p.m. yesterday. Unfortun-ately no call sign was given, andalthough the operator listened for sometime the signals ceased.

Judging from the strength of thesignals it was concluded that the callwas from a very long distance, posajblyfrom the Atlantic or European zones.

Had the call been within 2Ono milesof New ZeaJand it would in all proba-bility have "skipped" New Zealandunder the conditions which prevailed lastnight.

Although no indication could be trivenas to what was the nature of the signal,the operator expressed the opinion "thatit sounded like a call from an aeroplane.

To make linal arrangements for theerection of a factory for hie companiesin Forth Street, Diinedin, Mr. W. R.Slack, works manager in Sydney forReckitte (Oversea), Ltd., and Colman-Keen, Ltd., arrived at Wellington by theAwatea from Sydney yesterday.

Mr. Slack sai<l the establishment ofthe factory had been decided upon beforeNew Zealand imposed its import restric-tions, but that action had acceleratedthe companies' plans. The constructionwork would begin shortly.

It was estimated, he said, that thefactory would employ GO hands at thecommencement, Blue, metal polish andmost of the products of the associatedcompanies would be manufactured inNew Zealand.

PRICES RAISED.MOTOR CAR TYRES.

INCREASE OF 5 PER CENT.EFFECT OF RESTRICTIOHS.

An increase of 5 per cent in the whole-sale and retail price of motor tyres inAuckland and other parts ofXew Zealandlias taken effect during the past fewdays, and it is expected in some quartersof the retail trade that further increasesmay follow in the near future.

The explanation given l)y the tyredistributing companies is that the riseis due to increases in the cost of nrtrmaterials, but it is generally attri-buted by retailers to the effects of theGovernment's import regulations, whichhave reduced the total quantity of im-ported tyres by 15 to 20 per cent. Be-fore making the increase the New Zea-land distributors communicated with >their principals abroad.

Stocks of tyres in the Dominionsupplemented by imports on the pre-sent restricted basis, are expected to beadequate for requirements for sometime ahead, as they had been well main-tained, and in some directions increased,before the fiovernment's import regula-tions came into operation.

Prior to last week's increase theprice of tyres had been steady for «considerable period.

FOREIGN DUTY.

PAID ON CANADIAN CARS.

'EMPIRE CONTENT" REGULATION.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)DUNEDIN, this day.

The opinion of Mr. Justice Callanoffered in the Supreme Court in Auck-land that the import restrictions seemedto be brought into being on a systemof trial and error was endorsed by *

local importer in the motor trade.Discussing new regulations affecting

mainly upholstery materials and bat-teries, he pointed out that the Cus-toms determination of Canadian good*insisted on a t>*> per cent Empire content.In the past it had proved' difficult tokeep the Empire content of completelyknocked down cars to thU ligure andthe position was that if the Empirecontent was only 04 jier cent or less thefull foreign duty had to Ik> paid.

The dilliculty of keeping Empirecontent up was shown by the fact thatin Canadian ears imported by hi* firmleather upholstery w.is u-ed exclu-sively, and the mo>t costly leather wasused. The Customs determination wason the value tiasi- and was arrived at ina eoniowlitit arbitrary way. As, ofcourse, there was in Canada no currentdomestic value of cars in knocked downform it wns obvious that cars wouldnot be sold in this fnshion in theircountry of origin. The now regula-tions mentioned no provision for analteration hi the nmciint of Empirecontent and whether 'ho u=<» of localmaterials would aflVrt :hm content ornot w.is nut known. If no ;ilieration wasmade it should seem that 1 lie ultimateeffect Avotil.i be to fore.' the trade backto the United States where, cars couldbe bought more cheaply. The effect ofpaying full foreign duty on Canadiancars would be to" make the product ofthe United States by far the betterbargain.

STATEMENT FROM EXCHANGE.

After consideration, the officials of theAuckland Stock Exchange issued thefollowing etatement yesterday afternoonregarding thenew Government loan: —

"The new issue should be favourablyreceived by the inventing public and theflotation should Ik> successful. Thelonger-dated issue would appear the moreattractive to the ordinnry investor andthe provisions in the event of the mar-keteelling price falling below the priceof inane nhould appeal as a safeguardagainst capital loan. The 1048 issue will beadvantageous to those wishing to makeprovision for death dutien."

Th* immediate effect upon the gilt-fdjrnd market was a withdrawal ofIniyere pending receipt of full details ofthe proposal*. Sellers, who have notbeen plentiful during the past week,were oven fewer.

"I wonder if the Prime Minister gotthin loan and tho interest rate unanim-ously endorsed at the recent Labourcaucus," eflid tho Leader of the Opposi-tion, tho Hon. A.

"This is certainlyan interesting turn of events for aJ'rimc Minister who spoke so much aboutthe usp of the public credit and debt-freemoney and said that further borrowingwas only debt in perpetuity.

The jinrpofft of the loan, he said, wasfor public work, and dovelo,,.nient worku in the Dominion, includingexi-eml.turo on defence. While he Le"iuTi 1,n

c,.tUc in'Provement in thean,lard of living, or even of maintain-m« the present standard, would necesei-

tate the transfer of workers from publicworks to industry, that could not be asudden process. Consequently, fundswould be needed for public works. Thealternatives to raising an internal loanwere: (a) continued use of ReserveBank credit; (l>) n compulsory internalloan; or (c) the raising of an overseasloan.

Overseas Loan and Interest Cost._ Looked at from the short point of

view, the most satisfactory move wouldbe an overseas loan, but one had to takeinto account the future trend of prices,which would affect the capacity of theGovernment to meet overseas interest."For this reason. , he continued, "I doubtwhether it would be wise to rely on over-seas borrowing to meet developmentalrequirements; and, in any case, it ap-pears not unlikely that the Governmentwill be trying to raise some finance inLondon."

The attempt, he said, should at leastbe made to raise an internal loan inorder to reduce the , extent to whichreliance should be placed on ReserveBank credit, since it would be difficultto avoid an inflationary effect with anylarge expansion of Reserve Bank credit."There would, however, be some casefor the cautious expansion of TreasuryBill finance as a temporary measuresince this would, on balance, tend tolower interest rates and enable theTreasury hills to be funded later at asomewhat lower rate."

Voluntary Loan Preferable.Balancing the possible inflationary

effects againet the possible effects oflower interest rates in the future, thedecision as to whether this course orborrowing on the market should beadopted at the moment, was a complica-ted one. and the Government could notbe unduly criticised for adopting its pre-sent proposals, funds would be requiredeither for public works, including de-fence, or for the development of suchsecondary industries as would enablepublic works employees to be transferredto private enterprise.

"I think it will be generally agreed,"he continued, "that a voluntary loan ofa little over 4 per cent is preferableto a compulsory loan at a lower rate,because the damage to confidence of acompulsory loan might be substantial."

He would discount the view that alack of confidence on the part of thosewith money to invest would of itselfimpair the prospect of a successfulflotation.

"Tlie rate should l>e satisfactory, asinv<stor.s are already trading on simi-lar return*, and it is not a larire loan,"said tlie chairman of the WellingtonStock Exchange, Mr. Andrew Hamilton,commenting thie evening on the generalterms of the public internal loan to beraised by the (iovermnent. Mr. Hamiltonsaid lie had not had an opportunity tostudy the full details in the prospectusand his remarks were based on his read-ing of the main features.

"At least the Government has madethe loan attractive in the method ofsubscription, for the small investor aewell as for the large one," he said,"ihere are various detail provisionswhich will particularly assist the futuredisposal of small investors' holdings."

Capital expenditure on defence works,said Mr. Hamilton, should definitelyappeal to the investor. Essential publicworks mid developmental schemes werenecessary, provided they were kept with-in reasonable bounds. It had been gen-erally anticipated that a larger sum

•would have been called for "and thepresent amount wne not out of boundsin comparison with previous issues.

"It is pleasing to see that the largestborrower in the country lias met themarket rate," Mr. Hamilton added.'"We hope this move shows readinesson the part of the Government to ap-prechtte the difficulties of local authori-ties and ia the forerunner of the re-moval of the present restriction of thelate of aj per cent on local.body iesues."

CHEAP MONEY POLICY ENDS

"INTEREST RATES WILL RISE."

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)DUNEDIN, Monday

"The inner circles of finance through-out the Dominion knew that the Gov-ernment could not continue its policyof what it called 'cheap money,'" saidMr. Herman Reeves, president of theXew Zealand Stock Exchange Associa-tion. "Owing to the extraordinaryexpenditure on public works, which ha"sreached an enormous sum over the pastthree years, combined with the 'flightof capital' which has left the Dominionrecently, amounting to something like£15,000,000, it was known that theGovernment was in sore straitsfinancially.

"All interest rates will firm as aresult of the attractive return on thislong-dated loan," Mr. Reeves said. "Gov-ernment loans are recognised trusteeinvestments, among other lines, andthey provide a basis on which mostinterest rates are regulated in thiscountry. In brief, it means that munici-palities will have to pay at least 4Jper cent to get any money. Interestrates must go up."

City circles commented favourably onthe prospects of the long-term issue, butqueried the short-dated 1948 loan on thegrounds of the difference of | per centin the respective returns on the redemp-tion basis.

STATE HOUSING SCHEME.

PREPARING FOR ARRIVALS

Further details concerning the Gov-ernment's plan for bringing 500 artisansfrom England for State housing workwere supplied by the Minister of Hous-ing, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, thismorning. Preference was being given tosingle men, he said, because the Govern-ment could not guarantee to give thenew arrivals homes as soon as theylanded. The conditions were much thesame as obtained in regard to thoseengaged in Australia. Those engagedhad to contract to refund the cost oftheir passage money out of their earn-ings over a term.

"The first batch of 100 men shouldarrive next month," said Mr. Armstrong."They will all go to Wellington, wherethe shortage of skilled men in the build-ing trade ie most acute. Naturally therewill be some difficulty in finding 'accom-modation for the men, and this will beaccentuated when the Centennial Exhi-bition opens. We are looking into thisaspect of the problem at the presenttime, and we may find it necessary toerect temporary accommodation

*

forthem in the direction of a type of "bar-rucke.

Cost of Board."We have had some experience with

the Australians. Many of them couldnot find accommodation when theyarrived, but most of them have nowbeen comfortably lodged at reasonableratee. At first it was found that theywere quoted £2 and £2 10/ a weekfor board and lodging, and the Govern-ment, in order to assist them tempor-arily, subsidised them for a week or twoto the extent of the difference betweenwhat they had to pay and 35/ a week.In most cases it was soon found that themen were able to get board for 25/ and27/0 a week. The subsidy was in noway intended to be permanent in anysense of the word. It was just a littlehelp for a week or two until the arti-sans were able to 'settle down' in a newcountry."

Conditions Outlined.According to unoifieial advice received

from London the classification of thebuilding trade workers required is 300carpenters, 58 painters, 44 plum here, 38plasterers, 28 bricklayers, 18 electricalwiremen, 14 tilers. Sailing*; are to bespread over a period of probably fouror five months. Full-time employmentfor two years ie guaranteed by theGovernment, providing each man main-tains a satisfactory standard of workand conduct.

TWO CHOICES.PRODUCE CONTROL.

BY STATE OR GROWER?FARMERS' UNION ATTITUDE.

Producer control instead of Govern-ment control of the marketing of prim-ary produce was the plea made by theDominion president of the New Zea-land Farmers' Union, Mr. W. W. Mul-holland, in opening the 39th annualAuckland provincial conference of theunion this morning. The provincialpresident, Captain H. M. Eushworth,was in the chair.

Producers to-day were faced with thetwo issues, he said, the day when inde-pendent marketing was a possibilityhaving passed.

"Farmers in the Dominion must con-trol their own produce or have some oneelse control it," he said. "This positionis common to other countries, too."

Referring to the Government market-ing of dairy produce, Mr. Mulhollandsaid there was much that was good init, but the principle was wrong.

Political Control Criticised."It should not be in the hands of aMinister of the Crown," he said. "Politi-

cal control of marketing it, worse thanpolitical control in any other walk oflife."

Learning from what had already hap-pened, farmers should prepare the neces-sary organisation to take over the mar-keting of meat, if that became necessary—a situation that, in view of recent re-strictions, might come much sooner thanexpected.

Referring to wool, Mr. Mulholland saidthat the auction method ofsale was probably the bestso far designed, but the fluctua-tions were so great that it was impos-sible to estimate ahead what the returnswould be. That was one aspect on whichthe producers of synthetic fibre had adecided advantage, being able to quotefor one or two vears ahead.

"Price fixation is an impossibility, ofcourse," Mr. Mulholland went on, '"butit is possible to obtain some degree ofprice stabilisation, with some elasticity,of course."

When in Sydney he had discussed thematter, and the conclusion arrived athad been that what was necessary wasan Empire link-up of wool producers asa special entity. This was possible bythe establishment of a pool along thelines of the exchange equalisation poolin operation in Great Britain. This poo]would buy wool at the bottom price andsell wool at top prices. In between, theordinary trade would operate.

Such a pool would, over a period ofyears, make enormous profits, he con-cluded, and would effect the desiredstabilisation of prices.

MEMORY HONOURED.

GREAT BARRIER AIRPORT.

ENGINEER WHO WAS KILLED.

Authority has been granted by theMinister of Public Works, the Hon. R.Semple, for the naming of the newaerodrome at Great Barrier Island asClaris Aerodrome, honouring the mem-ory of Mr. William Holman Claris, 32-year-old Departmental engineer, whowas killed when the completion of thework was in sight.

The man responsible for the majorpart of the construction of the aero-drome, Mr. Claris was victim of thecrash of the Auckland Aero Club'sMiles Magister monoplane near theboundary of the field on March 17. Hewas extremely popular among resi-dents of the island, as well ae with thestaff of the Department, and the per-petuation of his name in his own workis the result of a request by the GreatBurner County Council.

SAVED BY GUARD.

MAN DRAGGED BY TRAIN.

(From Our Correspondent.)ASHBURTON, Monday

The prompt action of the guard ofthe Christchurch-Timaru excursion trainsaved a passenger from being dragged'under the train at the Ashburton stationlast evening.

Attempting to board the train afterit • had started the passenger, with asuitcase under his arm, was pulled off!his feet and fell against the side of acarriage. He was rolled and was par-tially dragged along the platform forsome yards, and it was only the presenceof mind of the guard that saved himfrom serious injury.

Seeing the man'.* plight the guardapplied the emergency brake and jumpedoff the train. He catight the passengerby the leg and pulled him away fromthe moving carriage. The passengerescaped with, a severe shaking and tornclothing.

SEVERE TEST.

MILITARY EXERCISES.

MEN, MOTORS AND HORSES.

BRBN CARRIERS IN ACTION.


WHAXGARET. this dayThe extraordinary mobility of "the

Bren "tin carrier was demonstrated yes-terday in the course of militarymanoeuvre* in which the Ist CompositeMounted Riflee and the 4th MotorisedSquadron, of the same regiment, tookpart at Titoki. The exercise was theiirot of its kind in Xew Zealand. Moretiian C>o officers and men were enlacedtogether with two Bren guns. 40 carsand lorries, and 50 motor cvcles.

Lieutenant-Colonel Potter, Chief StaffOfficer attached to the Northern Com-mand, directed operations.The object of the exercise was chieflV

to demonstrate the mobility of motof-ised troops and their ability to delaya force superior in numbers by the firepower which they can develop. In addi-tion the mounted troops were to showtheir ability in moving over rough, opencountry and protecting the flank of aninfantry force, and the unit*' adminis-trative organisation in the field was tobe tested. The re-action of the troopsto attack by Bren guns which wereattached to the mounted force was alsostudied.

Moving swiftly and easily over openground, smashing through eix-footscrub, ploughing through ewamps, andhurdling ditches, the Bren gun carriersquickly outstripped their supportingmounted troops. *

"The exercise lias been of great valuein demonstrating the great adapta-bility of these machines," said L,ieu-tenant-Colonel Potter at the conclusionof operations.

"The Bren gun carriers are the onlvmechanised equipment equal to mountedtroops in this respect, and they haveproved themselves great crose-countryvehicles."

Being sufficiently heavily armoured towithstand rfle and machine-gun fire, aswell as attack from anti-tank rifles, thecarriers, he said, were able to move uprapidly in the face of an enemy anddeliver sharp thrusts. It was only bydirect shell fire that they could be putout of action.

Valuable Lessons.Valuable lesions had also been

learned in the use of motorized troop*,Colonel Potter added. Although themounted troops had .required an all-night march to bring them into posi-tion for the day's engagement, the,motorised squadron had occupied thesame territory within an hour of leav-ing Whangarei.

The great difficulty of maintainingcommunication between detachments ofmotorised troops was akn apparent, hesaid. For this purpose field wireless setscarried on specially equipped truckswere necessary, but in this case theequipment had been required elsewhere.Yesterday's manoeuvres had illustratedthat despite insinuations that increas-ing mechanisation had displaced thehorse in the field, mounted rifles stillfilled an important position in thearmy. The only equipment which couldequal their performance in rough, opencountry were Bren g\in carriers andlight tanks, and in certain situationsthe mounted men would still have theadvantage.

As the majority would have coveredmore than 50 miles before they re-turned to camp, the exercise had proveda severe test for men and horses, headded." They had, however, withstoodthe test well after a week's trainingtinder army conditions, and it wa* ap-parent that horses of the right typefor mounted rifle work were still beingbred in New Zealand, although insmaller numbers than in pre-war davs.

TO BRING BOMBERS.

FLIGHT TO NEW ZEALAND

PREPARATIONS IN ENGLAND.

'FLU STEPS IN.SCHOOL EXPERIMENT.

CORRESPONDENCE PUPILS.

HPRKIBP DEMOBILISATION.

"Demobilisation"' orders issued onSunday night and now in operation arebringing to an unexpected end an educa-tional experiment with whieh New Zea-land has been leading the world.

is the vacation school which wasopened at New Plymouth on May « for100 pupils of the Education Depart-ment's far-flung correspondence school—children who. through their isolationor through physical disabilities, learntheir lemons through the mail. A weekahead of schedule, the school began tobreak up last night, and several of thechildren were back at home to-day.The reason for the premature exodueie influenza.

Vacated for the May holidays, theNew Plymouth Boys' High School waschosen as the assembly point for thecorrespondence pupils, who travelled insupervised parties from all parts of theDominion. Under their headmaster,Dr. A. G. Butchers, and a staff of 19,they were to stay for two weeks to takeyaigt in a formal instruction course, inwhich emphasie was. laid on group acti-vities which are ordinarily beyond theirreach.

About 40 Affected.But on the second day of residence

a girl fell victim to an attack of themild influenza, which has lately beenprevalent in many New Zealand citiesand towns. One after another of thechildren involuntarily followed herexample, until the school hospital wasfilled with 30 patients and a dormitoryhad to be set aside for convalescents.

At various stages of the illness, thenumber at present affected is said tobe about 40. No eases have been seri-oue—they are chiefly the slight tempera-ture and sore throat type—but the suf-ferers must remain in New Plymouthuntil they are certified fit to" travel.The others began their exodus la-«tnight. 24 hectic hours after instructionsto "demobilise" were issued.

Those instructions followed a visit tothe school on Sunday by Dr. J?. A.Shore. acting-Dircetor-General of Health,and M*r. N. T. Lambourne, Director ofEducation, who conferred with themedical officers attached to the school.

Because the arrangements for thereturn of the children to their homeshad to lm recast, telegraph wires beganyesterday to hum with urgent meseasesto parents, detailing transportationplans and asking for approval. Orderswere that no pupil should be entraineduntil advice was received that he or shewould be met on arrival at the end ofthe journey.

Regarded As Success.Replies from parents soon began toflow in. and a northern party of 41 left

New Plymouth last night. Over a dozenof the children were met in Aucklandthis morning by friends or relations withwhom they have arranged to stay for allor part of the two weeks' term "holidayswhich are now due to them. Otherswent on to their home*. The exodusfrom New Plymouth will continue forthe next few days.

The interruption to the experimentalvacation course ie regarded as mostunfortunate—except perhaps by theregular pupils of the New PlymouthBoys' Hisrh School, which is to remainclosed as a precautionary measure foranother week.

While it lasted, however, it was re-garded as a magnificent success, forthose children affected by influenza werein the minority. Formal teachingmethods were avoided, and the pupilsenjoyed a valuable experience of com-munity life. Local organisations co-operated in arranging outings to placesof interest. The school had its ownmedical service, and the town's dentistsmade free examinations of the dentalhealth of each child.

Correspondence school movements inmany parts of the world know of thisexperiment in Xew Zealand, and it isunderstood that they will be sent reportsdealing .with the activity which theDominion has pioneered.

LEARNERS' PLATES.

AID FOR MOTOR CYCLISTS.USE FOR THREE MONTHS

The first motor cycles carrying "L"plates should be seen in the city shortly,lor the regulations announced recentlyare now in force.Lnder these regulations, which aremade for the protection of young motorcyclists learning toride, a beginner mustcarry "L" plates for three months, and

during that period he is prohibited fromcarrying pillion riders, and must not ex-ceed a speed of 40 miles an hour.

The plates are approximately threeinches by five inches, and will carry a red'"I/ , on a white background. They willbe of metal, and will be attached to theordinary number plates. A nominalcharge of Cd a plate will he marie.

These plates are to be issued by locallicensing authorities when a learnerapplies, and at the end of the three-monthly period the beginner has tosatisfy the local authority of his com-petence. If he does that successfullyhe is given a full license.

NEW BRIDGES.

An accelerated programme of bridgereconstruction liae been undertaken Tnthe North by the Public Works Depart-ment during the past two years. Tendereare now being called by the Departmentfor a leOft two-way bridge in perman-ent materials at Otaika, and a smallone near Kawakawa.

NEARING THE END.

RECRUITING APPEAL.

MAYOR'S GRATIFICATION.OBJECTIVE NOW XK SIGHT.

"Our objective is now in eight, and Ihave every hope that, by next week-end,the additional 140 recruits required willhave enrolled," said, the Mayor, SirErnest Davis, to-day, in commentingon the outcome of the campaign for theenlistment of 1000 volunteers betweenthe ages of .18 and 35 years, to bringthe peace establishment of Auckland'sTerritorial Army to ite normal strength.

Sir Krnest *a*id that throughout theappeal the response from the men ofthe community had been heartening, in-dicating as it did a re-awakening- of pub-lic interest in the necessity for pro-viding in peace time properly-trainedterritorial personnel for home defencein the event of attack from without.One had only to listen to the radioappeals by the defence authorities inAustralia to realise how very seriouslyour cousins across the Tasman wereviewing their responsibilities. Themetropolitan campaign was- now draw-ing to its logical conclusion, and it wasessential that the regaining enrolmentsbe made as quickly as possible.

"We want only 140 men to completethe complement," the Mayor added. "Irenew an appeal to those eligible tohand in their names within the nextfew days so that, by obtaining the onethousand enlistments sought, Aucklandcan regain its reputation in leadershipin these matters, and at the same timemake its rightful contribution to thehome defence of the city. I am gratefulto all the workers whose co-operationhas made the foregoing result possible."

ALLEGATIONS FAIL.

CHARGES AGAINST GANGER.COUNCIL EMPLOYEE ACQUITTED.

A ganger employed by the MountEden Borough Council for the last nineyears. Edwin Thomas Hedley, appearedon summons before Mr. C. R. OrrWalker, S.M., in the PoKce Court yes-terday, on six charges of stealing earthfilling, two bags of cement and a quan-tity of metal chips, the property of thecouncil. The offences were alleged tohave been committed between Novem-ber 2 and December 1, 1938.

Detective-Sergeant McHugh prose-cuted, and Mr. J. J. Sullivan repre-sented the defendant, who denied allcharges.

The evidence was particularlylengthy, and the case did not concludeuntil late yesterday afternoon.

Detective Harris produced a state-ment made by defendant on January 24in which Hedley denied that he hadever disposed of any material belongingto the council without authority. Hehad certainly given waste material,which included pieces of old asphalttaken from footpaths torn up prior toconcreting. This material had beengiven to ratepayers to save expense onthe part of the council in having itcarted to a dump. This had been a.practice of the council for some years.Concernrftjr two sums of 5/ which hereceived from a resident for bags ofcement, Hedley explained that thecement was privately owned, and wasportion of gome left over after a jobhad been carried out by another em-ployee in his spare time. It was notthe councils property. Defendant de-nied ever having given metal chips to aresident.

Mr. Sullivan submitted that therewas no evidence to support any of thecharges brought against Hedley. Hehad been ganger eince 1931, and hadalways given entire satisfaction. Hewas etill in the employ of the councilas ganger. "The evidence brought hereto-day is distinctly confusing and tooweak to support a criminal charge"said Mr. Sullivan. "It should -

be strongand conclusive, and I would ask thatall the charges be dismissed."Mr. Sullivan brought evidence corro-borating defendant's statement to thepolice, and called the deputy-Mayor,the foreman of the borough, a time-COS.*™1 * labOUrer emPloy«l by the

Mr. Orr Walker said, concerning thecharges relating to the cemenTthat

sssiFir ""-ss-JKcleared up. There was no satisfactory

that he was not paid for it. Itegard-asnhalt* T^- 111*1*™1 *nd br«kenasphalt which is called filling it is aquestion whether the practice* followedwas proper or not, but this is purely amatter for the council. There * Doevidence of theft by the defendant, andall the charges will be dismissed."

WAITAKERE PARK.CENTENNIAL SCHEME.

i

SUPPORT ACCORDED.

POWER BOARD'S DECISION.

Unanimous support of the WaitakerePark proposal! to mark the Centennial,was given by the Auckland ElectricPower Board at a meeting yesterdayafternoon.

The chairman, Mr. S. J. Harbntt,referred to the three Centennial pro-posals, Karitane Home, a physical cul-ture ftCneme, and the Waitakere Parkplan. He said that if £40,000 was notraised, the park area suggested wouldbe reduced, so there was a certainamount of flexibility about the plan.No expensive roads were to be built.The proposal was to acquire a large areaof bushland. and enable people to seethe attractions.

The chairman said that the physicalculture plan could be modified, but itwas in a iiebulous state as to theamount of gymnasia to be provided.One of the objections in connection witha Karitane Home was that the controlwould be by a society, and not a localIkklv, although some alteration mightbe made in the constitution.

The park proposal was strongly sup-ported by Messrs. H. T. Goldie, J.Sayegh and J. Dempsey, the last namedremarking that it was a time to lookforward a hundred years.

Mr. S. Irwin Crookes recalled thatwhen the. Auckland City Councilacquired the Cascades Park area, Mr.(•oldie's people had given 500 acres ofland, on which the bush had regenerateditself.

The chairman's motion to support theWaitakere Park plan was carried with-out further discussion.

GIFT OF £500.

CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL.

WAITEMATA BOARD'S SUPPORT.

Support was accorded the Waitakerepark scheme as a suitable Centennialmemorial at a meeting yesterday after-noon of the Waiteinata Electric PowerBoard, and it was decided to contribute£.">OO to a Centennial memorial. A con-dition of the contribution is that theboard will not be involved in furtherliability.

The decision* were reached after con-siderable discussion, which in the firstplace centred round the question ofwhether or not the board should contri-bute to a Centennial memorial. In thisconnection it was argued by Mr. J.Guiniven that it was the main functionof the hoard to provide electricity forthe area under its control, and he op-posed a proposal to make a contribu-tion. Several speakers, however, spokein favour of the motion, moved by Mr.E. Aldridge, who believed that as a civicentity the board had a duty to makedecisions in the interests of the citizen*as a whole.

Finally the motion was carried, Mr.Guiniven asking that his vote against itbe recorded.

The suggestion that the board's con- |tribution to the Centennial memorial be j£.->OO wae made by Mr. Aldridge, whopresented the proposal as an amend-ment to a motion by the chairman. Mr.S. E. Kennings, that the contributionbe £300. The major amount wasagreed upon, and it was asked that thevotes of Mr. Guiniven and Mr. C. L.

be recorded against the deci- ;sion. "The people I represent in Taka-puna will be forced to contributeagainst their will," said Mr. Gniiiiven.Mr. Kennings and Mr. W. R. T.Leighton spoke in favour of the Wai-takere j>ark scheme, but Mr. Aldridgesupported the plan to establish a physi-cal welfare centre for Auckland. Asone of the executive committee whichhad considered the 4.', schemes 'sub-mitted for consideration, Mr. Aldridgesaid that, apart from the cost ofacquiring the Waitakere area, it hadbeen stated that it would cost possibly£70.000 to develop the parkf " Hismotion that support be accorded thephysical culture scheme, howeverlapsed for want of a seconder.

Mr. fJuiniven said that if the boardwas going to support any scheme hewould move support for the Waitakerescheme. The country it was proposedto purchase might be broken, but itcould be planted with treesMr. Kennings seconded the motionwhich was finally carried after theboard had negatived an amendment byAir. J. E. .Tiide favouring the KaritaneHospital extension scheme.

Messrs. Kennings and Leighton wereappointed the board's delegates to aconference of local bodies on June 6when delegates attending will be ex-pected to commit the bodies which theyrepresent to a decision on the characteror the Centennial memorial.

EARLY NEW ZEALAND.

GROWTH OF THE CITIES,

STORY TO BE TOLD ATCENTENNIAL.


WELLINGTON, Monday."Show us some of the things the

country started with; they would bemost telling and interesting," remarkeda speaker at a deputation to the Min-ister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E.Parry, to-day, in making incidentalreference to the New Zealand Centen-nial celebrations to be held at the endof the year.

It was stated that many of the youngpeople had notions of the Dominion'scities of other days being like they wereto-day, fully grown up. They knewlittle of the' trials, of the pioneers andtlie difficulties met with in laying outthe foundations of the cities and pro-vincial towns. Nothing would be moreimpressive and instructive, it was urged,than to show some realistic scenes andnictures of the principal parts of Now ,

Zealand in the early days and of itspeople.

Mr. Parry said the deputation hadthoughts along the right lines andexpressed the hope that the variouscentres which had so much to portrayof their history would adopt these ideasin making their plans.

"What cannot be shown by life-likerepresentation," the Minister said, "canbe shown by way of photographicreproduction in the Press or by scatter-ing approximately early scenes in thepagee of historical books now bringprinted. I think these books will havea, great attraction for the public. Thebooks are being artistically producedand tell by picture and succint letterpress the lines of our story from thebeginning."

GLANDULAR TROUBLEBUSINESS MAN

ESCAPES OPERATIONHow a well-known business mar

escaped a serious operation for glan-dular trouble is told in the followingletter from Mr H. W. , P.O. Box 693,Dunedin:

"I feel it my duty to record thewonderful improvement in my healthwhich has been effected by Thyro-done. Thyrodone, in fact, has madea new man of me. I suffered from cglandular complaint which was drag-ging me down. I consulted a doctor,whose treatment effected an improve-ment in health up to a point where headvised that medicine would not cure,but that an operation was imperative.I resolved, therefore, to see ifThyrodone would do me any good,and commenced taking this prepara-tion. In three months' time the re-sults were so effective that I visitedmy doctor again. He was amazed atmy improved condition, and after anexamination informed me that anoperation was not now necessary. Headvised me to keep oj taking Thyro-done. My health and nerves improved,and my weight -.vent up. Since thenI have never looked back, and nowlook and feel the picture of health."

REACTION TO RADICALISM.EXPROPRIATION PROBLEMS.

"ml P")itical problems are

ins Just complorpil a aoOOmih; motorlour throueh twelve Mexican States.(By MICHAKL SCULLY.)

(I.)MEXTCO CITY.

The nio>t significant development inMexico since the oil expropriation* of a.v>ii- ajro » the birth of an outspokenopposition to extreme Radicalism.

Ibis movement, on rely discernible amonth aj:o. has nimc into tlie open witti•li', beginning of the longdistance Pie--identiul campaign which will end withi lie election of July. 1940. It has gained-in j.iisinpr strength from President( iirdemift" announcement that lie willthe people fr>< politicalI'xprewion. And it may decide the fate"I ( iirdi-nuH , radical economic and .socialprogi-Hiiiine, which, all factions agree."ill face a crisis before the end of the ,present year.

lo date the reaction fall* into twounrelated parts. The first i* a definitelyRightist movement representing thelysines* interest* and led by militaryand political veterans who are loosely

art "old revolutionaries"—menwho rose to power in the era of violentrevolution and who are now regardedas Conservatives.

The «econd and more important ele-ment i* not consciously Rightist. It re-flects a growing dissatisfaction amongrionie proletariat group* with the re-sults achieved by extreme Leftistleadership.

Whether Rightists can utilise this dis-content is a (|iiestion to be left to time.Hut its power was made clear in Feb-ruary, when the Confederation of Mexi-can Workers (C.T.M.), led by the ex-treme Leftist Lombardo Tolednno, gaveits support to (ieneral Manuel AvilaCiiniacho'e Presidential candidacy, andlater when the National Confederationof IViiennts (C.X.C.) backed the samecandidate. |

Avila Camacho. while one of the threeliovcrnment party candidates and anavowed supporter of Cardenas' policies,lias been moderate enough in his vieweto be regarded ha near centre. The Com-munistic C.T.M.'s logical candidateshould have l>een < ieneral FranciscoMuyica. an ardent Leftist, or Generalllafael Sanchez Tapia, whose positionis between the two.

The Presidential Campaign.Hut i lie r.T.M.rt own Still" units in•fali.«co and Vein Cruz hnd iilready dis-

regarded nationnl leadership to declarefor Avila Crtmacho. Kegiounl meetingof the numerically more powerfulAgrarian League (C.V.C.) had »i\\n himalmost unniiinioiiM support. Olxorvers'speculations nre that Lombaido Tole-dano, seeing this trend, supported AvilaCamacho with the ho|>e of finding thelatter malleable to his radical viewe or.failing that, of effecting a compromisewhich would sustain Labour's powerfulposition in politics.

The current candidacies representonly trial heats in which candidatesseek the backing of the four generaldivisions of voters—Labour, Agrarian",Army and the Popular Front of businessand miscellaneous groups. These will befollowed by convention* of the ••tlicialMexican Revolutionary party, whrn*sponsorship of a candidate "normallymeans election, and probably of aRightest coalition.

Avila Cainaelio's suecesi to date indi-cates a trend, as. does the scattered butrapidly growing siipf>ort for (ieneralJuan Andreu Alma/an, millionaire mili-tarist engineer, most active of theRightists. From his home State, Con-servative Nuevo Leon. Almazan's can-didacy has spread particularly into neigh-bouring Tamiilipas and Coahuila.

There call l>e no doubt of the dissatis-faction behind this trend. This writerin four weeks has driven HOOO miles over12 States of .Mexico trying to wound thesentiment *>f all cla*»e« on public ques-tions. He found little direct criticism ofPresident Cardenas, whose peritonei holdon the masses is much like that ofPresident Roosevelt. But he did find,particularly among agrarians, a growingdiscontent with the desperate economicplight, of the common man and outspokendistrust of Cardenas' most potentadvisers, Toledano, C.T.M.head, and Luis Rodriguez, Seeretary-deneral of the revolutionary party.

Agrarians particularly have felt thepinch of a 40 to f>o per cent increase inliving costs in the last two years. Evenbefore the oil expropriations there wasa shortage of Government credit tofinance the 1,000,000 families who havelwen set out to farm (i0.000.000 acres ofexpropriated lands. The oil expropria-tions co*t the Government £3.200,000 ayear in taxes formerly received from theprivate companies, resulted in the with-drawal of much private capital fromcirculation, and were followed by thedrop in the peso from 28 to 20 cents,while prices zoomed. The Government,still forced to import huge quantities ofwheat, corn and l>eans, must spreadthese commodities, as well as financialaid to the farmers, thinner.

Bewildered Workers and Peasants.Articulate agrarian leaders believe

Mexico should own the contested oil.Still, they blame their present distresson oil and Tolednno. They believe theLabour chief's ambition to bring oilunder his complete domination, andthus further spread his fame and in-fluence among oil workers of LatinAmerica, was primarily responsible forthe expropriations. In addition, theyhear constantly of wage gains made byorganised labour through strikes. Thisincreases their conviction th*t thefarmer i« being made a sucker by theLabour chief and hie organised urbanworkers.

Such sentiment is aleo reported inthe ranks of the army, which is pre-dominantly rural in meke-up, andwhich was recently appeased by a smallincrease in pay.

Labour's little man is more bewil-dered than the peasant, because he hasgained wage increase* only to eee risingprices wipe, out the advantage.

This is the background of the swingto the supposedly moderate AvilaCamacho. Some optimists believe itwill go further. They offer two poeei-bilitien:—(1) That Almazan or General.Toaquin Amaro, builder of the modernMexican army, or some other Rightist,may become a formidable candidate inwhat has heretofore been a one: partyelection; (2) that moderates in theP.R.M. itself may swing even furtherRight than Avili Camacho and offereuch a dark horse ae Dr. Francisco Cas-tillo Xajera, Ambassador to Washing-ton, whose solid etanding in our capital

may be sorely needed if the country'sdesperate, economic position growsworse.

President Cardenas has made it clearthat he will continue his radical effortsto remake the country's economic andsocial life, particularly with regjml tonationalisation of land. Hut to carryout his programme successfully, objec-tive observers believe, Cardenas musthave four vital breaks of luck:—

Four Tall Orders.First, there must lx> bumper crops ofcorn. wheat ami beans from the1i1t.000.000 acres of communal farms to

allay agrarian discontent and lift thehuge burden of agrarian suppoit, fromthe (•'ovcrnmciit's i»houlders,

s<,( ' '• I", must cither rein-li an agree-ment oil with the expropriated com-panioH or make a permanent tie-up ona more profitable bask with Germanyiind other baiter States. He is knownto have avoided long-term barter a<*ree-menta, to date.

Third, he must be helped by the con-tinued, purchase of .Mexican silver by theI nited States after .Inne, 1939, at whichtime the authorisation to make suchpurchases will expire unless renewed byCongress. It is generally agreed thatWashington's silver policy has sus-tained Mexico's No. 1 industry, mining.for the last five vears.

* "

Fourth, the i'nrdenas Governmentmust preserve public acceptance of. ifnot confidence in, the internal financialsituation. Aside from such long termdebt* as foreign loans, railroad debtsand expropriation claims, which total*:S:iO.0OO,00<l. the Government is heavilyoverdrawn at the Bank of Mexico, itsli.-<al a«ency. It has now passed a lawforbidding itself to make further loansfrom that source. Meanwhile, tovital funds, the Treasury has beenauthorised to ieeue short-time loancertificate* against anticipated income,these t«i be sold to banks, insurance companies and big businese interests.

GIVEN A CHANCE.

YOUNG ESCAPEE.. NO INCREASE IN SENTENCE,

(From Our Correspondent.)WELLINGTON, Monday,

Following his fourth escape from cus-tody. Robert Clarence Clarke, aged 19.appeared before Mr. Justice Smith inthe Supreme Court to-day for sentencemi two charges of breaking and enter-ing and theft, three of unlawfully con-verting motor cars, and one of escapingfrom custody. He was sentenced to oneyear's reformative detention on eachcharge, to be concurrent with his presentterm.

liobert Toombs, IS, who wasassociated with Clarke in breaking andentering and two of the conversions,was admitted to probation for threeyears

Mr. Hardie Boys appeared for Clarkeand Mr. Hanna for Toombs.

Mr. Boys said Clarke had a persecu-tion complex and it would assist hismental attitude if the Court imposeda sentence that would not add to hiepresent term.

His Honor said Clarke appeared tohave made a habit of escaping, withthe result that his accumulated sen-tences now totalled six years from lastSeptember. After his last escape hecommitted the offences and induced theother prisoner to join him. He, mightthink at times that he had not beentreated fairly, but he must get the firmconviction that he was responsible forwhat he did. He might yet make asuccess of his life, and with that hopethe Court would not increase the Ben-fence at present being served.

In regard to Toombs. His Honor saidhe accepted the view that he had beenled awny by Clnrke. A condition of hisprobation was that he should residenenr his parents and restore any stolenproperty.

Hairdresser GivesAdvice on

Grey HairTdh How to Make a Home-Mid*

Grey Hair Remedy.Miss Diana Manners, who has been ahairdresser for the past ten years, gives.this advice:—"There is nothing to equalthe remedy for grey hair, made up from

an ounce of Bay Rum, .} ounce of Glycer-ine and a small box of Orlex Compound,mixed with a half-pint of water. TheOrlex Compound is now made'in NewZealand, and any chemist can supplythese ingredients at a small cost and themixing is so easy you can do it yourselfand save the extra expense.

"By combing this liquid through greyhair, you can turn it any shade you like,black, brown or light brown, besides mak-ing it glossy and fluffy and free fromitchy dandruff. Jt is perfectly harmless,free from stickiness, grease orrgum anddoes not rub oil". Jt should make anygrey haired person vastly more youthfulill appearance."

PROBLEMS OF THE.

MAN ON THE LAND.

(To the Editor.)

There has been published in the Pressrecently reports of various meetingsthat have been held throughout thecountry to discuss the problem thefarmer ie having to maintain thefarm, live decently and pay his way.Unfortunately the reports cannot con-vey much meaning to the man who haslived in town all iii.s life and who de-rives his livelihood, say, from workingin an office or on the waterfront. Iknow from experience that these areapt to dismiss any remark that thefarmers are having a bad time with therejoinder: "Oh, they are alwaysgrumbling; never satisfied; they iniustbe doing all right; look at the" motorcars they possess." It is true that mostfarmers have a car of some esort; it isalso true that many short ofordinary necessities in order to have acar because they realise they are seri-ously handicapped in the running of afarm and home without one. One of thefarmer's bigg«?st bugbear* is that thecar must be in running order in case ofsickness or accident. Those people whocomment on a fanner having a car, seenothing wrong with a man living intown having one—yet that man hasbuses, train*, etc., to take him wherehe wants to go and also has his maildelivered and he can post a letter ina nearby pillar-box. Farmers often haveto "pay extra for having their mail de-livered to their gate, and then not adaily service. If only people would pauseto think they would realise that withonly a limited income, derived fromwhat our produce brings from overseasif some receive more. than theirshare others must receive less, and as itis the farmer who is expected to cairvon with what is left after everybod'velse ha« grabbed a handful, it is lie whois going short to-day. Our politician*are quite confident they know their jobs,yet we have considerable numbers ofex-farmers living in town. These menwill tell you straight that they werestarved off the farm and that they wouldrather die than go back under presentconditions. Moreover, those men aredoing well and have more money tospend than ever before. Then we 'havethe men who are left on the farm* won-dering seriously whether it is worthwhile going on with the increasingstruggle for an existence. Those whohave reached middle-age or more knowthat with the best years of their livesgone in fruitless e'ndeavour it wouldbe difficult for them to make a freshstart. Jt is thi« fact alone that makesa man stick to a bankrupt concern.'•But what about all the help thefarmers have received?" 1 hear thetown man say. Well, my experience isthat, generally speaking, the only onesto receive assistance have been" thosewho did not deserve it "and those whodid not require it. The triers, and mo*tfarmers are that, can g<. on trying, andthe more they try the harder thingsare made for them. It i« like starving awilling horse and making him carrv allthe load, and putting the jibber "in agood paddwk with nothing to do butpet fat. How long can such a policylast? I cannot say, but it Heems to menot much longer, because farmers, un-like cats, have only one life.

GRAZIER.

MEMORIAL AT TITIRANGI.

The Auckland Provincial CentennialCouncil decided that a memorial sug-gested at TLtirangi wae not acceptableas a combined <entennial • memorial.While the scheme was not favoured a*a suitable general memorial there shouldbe no good reason why the projectshould not go ahead as a regional under-taking. The suggestion presented wasto construct a tidal wall with earthfilled backing from the public road atOtitori Hay along the foreshore, and atthe point known as Opou a suitable land-ing place be formed to allow all tidesaccess to pleasure craft and possiblysmall trading vessels. At Opou Pointthe hard s;ind stone rock shelves steeplyto the close in, deep channel turningnorth from the main steamer access toOnehunga. Above the headland is areserve vested in local authority, so thatno spoil required for filling wouldencroach on private land. The amountof back filling taken from the steepcliff face need not disturb any of thepresent useful trees growing there, butrather prevent further erosion and pre-pare the face for future planting. Titi-rangi and its surrounding districts havelong suffered from the want of all-tidebathing facilities: given a sea wall fromOtitori Bay and a landing constructedto deep water would add this much-needed amenity. My reason for theselection of Opou Point as a eitc for acentennial memorial apart from itsnatural facilities was based on soundhistorical grounds. About the year 1350A.D. one Pnntukaka, a member of thecrew of the second canoe, Tainui,portaged the vessel to Otahuhu and pro-ceeded down the Mamrkau Harbour.When opposite Titi.rangi he directed thatthey land and partake of food. Thelanding and taking of (o) food set asideby travellers was a tohii (sign) assert-ing ownership. The place of landingwae named Te Kai-o-a-Poutukaka orOpoutukaka. Having asserted owner-ship tl\(> place was subsequently occu-pied by his descendants, the Ngati-Pou,and used as a fishing base, though theirtribal district was south ward of Papa- 1toetne. where are still a large number oftheir descendants. The landing placeof Pou at Titirangi nearly 000 yearsago is now known as Opou Point andthe large bay within that hcadhindOpou Bay, situated on the eastern sidenf the promontory dividing AtkinsonPark from the northern limits of theManukau Harbour. Time is still withus to promote and complete this projectas one based on sound promises andattaining a useful object to'commemor-ate our centennial.

IMPORT RESTRICTIONS.

1 am amused by the letter from thepen of I'Uullilog." He says these importrestrictioii.s were imposed because "\veas a country were living beyond ourmeans,"' and therefore have to refrainfrom buying things we can do without.Docs he not recollect Mr. Savage wavinga few brief months a.uo, "We 'must" nottighten our belts, as we will neverstarve our way to prosperity," or some-thing very much to that effect? Howmuch have we been living beyond ourmeans? I thought it was very necessaryto have a Government in power thatwould spend no end of millions on anelaborate Public- Works programme andoilier lavish Stale services- in order toinduce prosperity, and put everyonelirinly on a pound economic pedestal.The Labour party said so; it must beright. Now flint it lia* reversed its die-nun. and in luvordniir-e with that rever-sal (loin* unbelievable thin;.'* l.y Order-ing mincil. it still must bo right', l>efau>e.ii i* the Labour party. (Jet away fromUnit if you can. Then "J{ii]]<l<).>' jroes"ii to say that if the Public Worksallocation is cut down, what are wefiling to do with the men who would beI'm oil' as a result? He a*>k« in such.i manner as to suggest thut nobodyknow* the answer. 15ut in the very nextliivnlli nll|.pliert the answer himself.•l.iii-ii! industries," lie says, "arc goingi<) have, a boom, and will nlmorb theLin-iitiT | M iit of t]le ~,e,, u ],o nlx,

IMiMiiiiiM now." 1 would like to remindliim tlistt many people in other coun-tries will live their positions as the re-sult of the import ban perpetrated byMr. Xiish. \\hat if other countriestiiin idiiiiil and <lo the same with us?Anyway, no one ecems over-tinxiolis totake on funning. To interfere withinternational trade is a serious thing.lint person* of the calibre of "BuIMog"cannot l»e expected to realise the far-reaching consequences of doinpr so. Norcan be found men with capital breakingtheir neck* to risk it in untried manu-facturing concerns in New Zealand, whatwith the .j-day week, ever-increasingtaxation, ever mounting coets and over-heads, to say nothing of strike* and in-dustrial disputes that are "on the cards"every day. Otherwise, what is all thistalk of the "flight of capital" that hasdriven Mr. Nash and his colleague* intosuch a panic? Even granting all this,the import prohibitions take eucb. a widerange, tlmt no possibility of bridgingthe entire gap could be thought of inNew Zealand inside of two years, letalone in two months, by means of localmanufactures. HOT DOGr.

LABOUR POLICY AND MONETARYREFORM.

I have recently conferred with a suf-ficient number of memlicrs of the moneyreform movement to make sure of theirviews upon the activities of Mr. Nash.All are of the one mind. Mr. Nash haeflouted the movement from the com-mencement and has promulgated his ownpersonal ideas. But the matter goesmuch further than that. Mr. Nash'sexecutive action* fly straight in face ofthe (iovpriimpiit's declared policy.Instead of doing what the jteoplerequired him to do. Mr. Xasli has donealmost the direct opposite. What tookplace at the recent Labour Conferencein relation to Mr. Lee\s brochure issufficient to. compel at least one irresis-tible inference; namely that, had it notlieen for Mr. Savage's interference byimproperly interlocking irrelevant issueswith the real issue, the conference wouldhave vetoed Mr. Nash and voted Mr.Lee. -But Mr. Savage saw fit to throwhimself into the scale and, thus, tofavour the will of Mr. Xash, not onlyagainst the will of the conference, butalso against the will of the peopleI'Xprwoed «t the polls. Mr. Savage maylie in a position to manhandle the con-ference, but he is not able to dictate tothe people of New Zealand. He ha*responsibilities to both the conferenceand the people; but his responsibility tothe people is wider and deeper andgraver than his responsibility to theconference. And each of these" responsi-bilities should have overwhelmed any.sense of confraternity or loyalty that hemay hold for the person of Mr. Naeh.It will be as well for Mr. Savase tokeep that fact in the forefront of hismind. His "loyalty and duty" is to thepeople. However, it is as clear as canbe that Mr. Nash linds but little favourin any direction. It is equally clearI hat both the Labour movement and themoney reform movement desire that Mr.Naeh resign hie portfolio. The twomovements taken together constitute amajority vote in New Zealand. It isclearly the duty of the Prime Ministerto accept that resignation, which is nowin his possession, and to recall Mr.Xa*h from his second venture abroadbefore he commits any more of his aelf-generated experiments upon matters ofwhich lie can have but little knowledgeor experience. Mr. Nash has not onlythwarted the fulfilment of the Labourpolicy, but in addition has embarkedupon legislation and action which arecausing gross social in justice among all■sections, of our community. Aβ vet thereis no call for the Prime'Minister to goto the country, but there is a vital callthat he shall deal effectively with anv.Minister who attempts to dictate wherehis plain duty is to obey. That, at least.is our view of the matter.

DEFENCE.

There are hundreds of young men likemyself who are attending eveningclasses or University lectures four nightsof the week. This, unfortunately,clashes with the evening parades of theTerritorial units. We are keen to helpdefend our heritage; as keen as anyothers. It is hard to sit in school andlieten to the beat of the drum andtramp of the feet, yet we feel unableto join up. What are we ahle to do tohelp? INTERESTED.

A COMPARISON.Your correspondent, "Thankful for

Five Bob," compares the conditions inthe Old Country with the Social SecurityAct in Xew Zealand. In this comparisonthe conditions are not the same. Youdo not pay ill per week for three rooms,it is nearer 4/ per week, and food, eloth-iiijr and firing are much cheaper in theOld Country. I am ,">S years of age,and my husband is «o and is now com-pulsorily unemployed. I pay £1 perweek for three rooms and receive formy husband 30/ per week and 5/ formyself. That leaves 15/ for necessities,food, clothing, firing and insurance, etc.It does not require a mathematician towork out what you have left to liveon. This is what I call the bread line.I am counting the blessings and also thebawbees when I make out this balance-sheet, for I am Xew Zealand born anda

-, grandmother of nine grandchildren.Now. then, do you expect a woman atmy time of life to go out and work,and, if so, who would employ me?

So far Silver Glow has failed to per-form as creditably ae expected, and theform he displayed after some encourag-ing efforts early in the season, had notbeen consistent with his be«t. Soreness,however, is attributed to his failures,and this eventually led to hi* hein<r putaeide.

Miss Valerie looks in good heart, andthe racing she hod at the WAiangarcimeeting appears to have been beneficial.On the second day of the above-mentioned fixture, Miss Valerie was asolidly supported candidate in the Riia-tanjrata Handicap, and l>pnt all but themore seasoned Royal Message. She hadrun fourth on the first day in similarcompany, and, as these two races wereher first appearances under silk, it isreasonable to expect that she will de-velop into a very itseful sort.

CHANCE IN DERBY.BLUE PETER'S PROSPECTS.

WON TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS

Concerning the Two Thousand Guineasrun at Xcwmarket (England) recently,a cablegram to an Australian papersays:—The prcwent Lord Hosohcrv'sfather had three ambitions: to win theDerby; to become I ,rime Minister; andto marry the richest woman inall Kllgland. He realised till three. Thepresent Lord Rosebory lias ahaiidc.nedpolitical ambitions, but he dearly wwhesto win thn Derby, and following BluePeter's splendid Two Thousand Guineasvictory, he appears to have an excellentchance. Blue Peter was a hotter fav-ourite for the Derby following on hisGuineas win, general opinion endorsingthe action of the bookmakers in shorten"ing the odds. Critics eillogiae BluePeter's courage in holding off a deter-mined challenge by Admiral's Walk.The Australian, W. Sibbritt, rode Con-trol, who ran unplaced in the TwoThousand.

Victory For The King.The King had his first win of the flat

racing reason when his fllly, Mouzelle(Coroado—Damozel) won the Wilbra-

ham Stakes on the same day.

WHEEL AND TRACK NOTES.

SHOULD WIN MORE MONEY.The success of Worthy Worker in the

Introductory Handicap at Claudelands wasdue to the fact that he began smartlyand made no mistakes on the journey.The Worthy Bond gelding had been inthe money on two previous occasions, andnow that he is better Reasoned moremoney looks assured for him.\

HIS TURN IS DUE.Gold very evenly from 60

yards behind in the opening event at theWaikato meeting to neeiire third money.He won over a mile and a half earlierin the season in good time, and ae heusually makes few mistakes his winningturn may soon arrive. Gold Kip will makehis next appearance at the Auckland meet-ing, which opens next Saturday week.

WELL ON TIME.It wae most pleasing to note that the

Waikato Trotting Club on Saturday ranits programme to schedule, the startingtimes being well adhered to. This was incontrast to its previous fixture, and thecommittee and secretary are to be com-mended for their good work which was notonly appreciated by residents of the dis-trict, but by visitors, many of whomtravelled from Auckland.

HAS A BIT IN RESERVE.A« the result of his win in the Burch

Handicap. Parauri has become eligiblefor the Adams Memorial Handicap at theAuckland meeting. He wae driven in goodstyle by F. J. Smith and won witha good deal to spare. It is doubtful ifParauri has ever been better than he isat the present time, and his inclusionin the Adame Memorial will add consider-able interest to that event.

AN EFFORTLESS VICTORY.One of the moet improved novice pacersat the Waikato meeting was Axminster,who outclassed his opponents in the

Tamahere Handicap. The cheetnut geldingwas driven very confidently by J. T.Paul, and when let go over the last half-mile he hit the front and the result wasnever afterwards in doubt. It wasAxminster'e second win this seaeon. andhe may extend his record at the approach-ing meeting at Epsom.

HAS GOOD PROSPECTS.Three Bells was up against a select

field in the Burch Handicap, and in thecircumstances his third was a very en-couraging performance. He went veryevenly all the way and ran out the two-nule journey in a very capable manner.Three Bells i« engaged in a couple ofmile and a half races at the Aucklandmeeting, and as the opposition will notbe as formidable as that which he metat Claudelands his prospects cannot beoverlooked.

UNPOPULAR!RESTRICTED GEARS.

MANUKAU CYCLING RACES.

WINNER WANTED TO GO ON.

Since J. Brown's sweeping victory inthe low-gear cycling nice of 1937, whenfree-wheel clutches were permitted to beusrrl, little interest has been taken in therestricted gear events, and last Saturday'srace* of the Manukau Club gave furtherevidence of the unpopularrty of such r»cee.Riders had their choice of races, and while15 raced in the under 70-gcar event 25patronised the open event. R. Wilsonand O. R. Purdom teamed well in themedium Rear event.

Wilson waa fastest in 42.9, an averageof over seven minutes a lap for the 15miles, whereas Brown and Patrick aver-aged around 6.50 for 20 miles in 1937. A.VV. Stonex, winner of the handicap aftera long sprint with W. P. Burton, also die-played taut pedalling action, to be only17s elower than Wilson.

Harvey Stages Recovery.N. P. Harvey has a reputation for racing

in real earnest and he gave no quarterlast week when he was the fastest of thefield. During the summer Harvey had asetback, but ho appears to have quicklyrecovered. D. Chath'eld hung grimly toHiirvey's pace for a few lap* and thendropped back. With 8.0 start S. R.Aulick and W. W. Gallagher must havethought the race wae a 20-miler, for bothfailed to realise that when they hadcovered six laps they had finished. If ithad not been for the calls of the spectatorsthey would certainly have done anotherlap. Aulick, a newcomer, was thus themuch-surprised winner of the race.

AH. Silcock in the tallest of the Auck-J.iiid anmteure, and one of the LynndaleClub's best unpaced men. In the 18 milestime-trial conditions, where riders areeent off at intervale of one minute andmust ride alone throughout, Silcock, inC2.4, was 1.33 better than W. A. Barnett,'vho surprised many, including himself.

< Retiring with mechanical trouble fromtile junior event, H. R. Baldwin rode inthe senior trial to be third, while H. F.Huwke had one of hi* slow days, for hewas only fifth, and took 56.43.

•T. A. Waring may fill the gap left byBaldwin when the latter bet-omen asenior, for Waring was third and fastestjunior in spite of the combined efforts of•). White and A. L. Hawke. winner ofthe Orewa race last King's Birthday.

"Dark Horse" at Papatoetoe.The Papatoetoe Club members are not

Hiving their full support to the weeklyraces yet, perhaps because of theirextended track season. Two successfulracers last year, J. E. Ludlam and J.Edwards, evidently did not realise in new-comer A. J. Queen a "dark horse," foralthough they caught him he held themoff in a stirring down hill rush to theline.

The Knight brothers are now livingnt Ramarama, eo it is doubtful if they willbe able to race as often as in the past.

In the North Shore Club's race fortrams of two rider*. A. D. Lydford andW. Duggan were reported to have coveredthe lj-mile course in 32.50. Evidently the

distance was overestimated, for it isdoubtful if cither could average 27 ni.p.h.on the Birkenhead course. Lydford wasone of the first of the Shore ridere totake up the sport, while Dujzgan is a newjunior. Runners-up proved to be twojuniors in K. King and W. Yoiinp, bothof whom will be 18 in August next.

Consistency of Jeffries.L. E. Jeffries has had a successful open-

ing for his 1939 season with the NorthernClub. His win last week follows twoseconds in his club's events. He is oneof the wiry type, like Cunningham, whoseem to stand up to all the punishmentof a long race. T. Winsor found R. S.Brown too fast over the final round, butthat was to be expected, for Winsor hashud little opportunity to race during thepast two years, as he was stationed nearOhakune and the snow-line. J. B.Johnston rode with his usual determina-tion, and was fastest. Junior M. G. Har-land wa« the only record breaker lastweek. Harland rode the 10-mile coursein 28.1 in the junior race. It was thesame Harland who won four races at theWestern Springs Stadium last March.Many are looking forward to his meetingwith Baldwin.

. Chetwynd's Stamina.The Beach Haven Cltrb is already exer-

cising its riders over as much of theOrewa race course as possible, and lastSaturday held a senior event to Albanyand bark. 21 1/6 miles. R. H. Chetwyndwas outstanding on the day, and thereturn into the head wind seemed to suithim. for he pedalled away from. A. J.Evans over the final mile to be first andfastest. Of medium build, Chetwynd canyet keep up a strenuous pace over anyhilly course.

The club has all arrangements in handfor the big race on the King's Birthday.and with road improvements an excellentrace is anticipated. Last year 67 startedin this 42 miles race, which was won byL. Hawke. with E. A. Lansrridge fastest.As Langridge has not started to race yet.it is doubtful if he will be fit enough todefend his claim to the course record.

THEY GAVE THE FEW SPECTATORS GOOD VALUE FOR THEIR MONEY.—The professional, line up withSecretary R. McN.ven at the Auckland Golf Club', link, yesterday afternoon. From left: N. von Nidi ]T JMoss, Mr. McNiven, C. C. Clement, and A. Murray.

HECK ! THEY DREW !

BUT LOFTY WAS THEREKIRCHMEYER KNEW IT, TOO.

THRIIXING WRESTLING BOUT.

It was Lofty's nijjht to howl last liitxht—and howl In; did, with the anticipation ofthe kill. Hut it was a draw, and thewrestling enthusiasts still don't knowwho is the top man, Blonifiold or Kirch-ineyer. On Monday week it was Kirch-meyer who had the moral victory, thoughLofty snatched it out of last round points.Thie time the moral victory rested withtire Hawaii-tanned Aucklander. It is;i strange world, my countrymen . . .

Something told us Lofty had a trump ortwo up his sleeve.

There is no doubt of the mana of theLofty one in Auckland. They love himor they hate him- and they all go alongto *ee. When the odds are against liiniit's well worth it. He sniffs the TownHall atmosphere

. . . and then it's a "Heyho and a nonny nonny no!" He producesa Lofty that everybody knows, ami therest is history. It had seemed that Mr.Kirchmeyer had done a nice job ofsumming up, and that the odd trick or sowas his for the taking. That was afterthe hist match. But, perhaps Blomtieldhad been doing a little lightning calculat-ing himself. At any rate, it was a. dif-ferent Blomticld who laced the Jhvaderlast night.

Lofty Surprises.Instead of retreating in surprise before

superior science, he did the upsetting him-self with his favourite jolts, plus kidneypunches, ]>luci lace massage, plus rope-work, and then some old-fashionedviolence. Result? The points were hismost of the. way. though he dropped a fallin the fifth, and if he could have gaineda fall in the seventh the victory seemedassured. Kirchmeyer proved his stamina,however, and held him off to the eighthfor a draw. They both deserved it.

From the start Kirchmeyer went intothe struggle dourly, taking wristlocks overthe ropes. He was head-tossed, but repaidin kind, adding a hamnierlock for goodmeasure. That was broken and threerimes in succession Lofty sank his jolt,but again they were at ovens with head-locks, head scissors and arm-locks. Sofar it was grim, with Mr. Kirchmeyersuffering the grimness. His attitude saidplainly, "I have something in the bag foryou, young man." In the meantime Loftyhad the points.

RoHend kept Blomfield at a distance—with that long arm—to start the second,but he had his nose tweaked in paymentfor hi« "snooty" attitude. Lofty «awquite a lot of the mat after that in abailed wristlock, but applied the namemedicine, until a short-arm scissors tiedhim up—and exacted tribute. Rollenddoubled it, and, though Blomfield madevaliant efforts to near breaking point, heldit to the gong. They had to be untied.

Lofty Rises and Falls.Lofty went for his piece of pie in the

third, and got if in wristlocks, stranglesand rope-work before he was taken in afigure-four body scissors, plus a Japanesehead twist. As someone said, "Just alittle bit of brotherly love." and suddenlyLofty was up on his feet with Kirchmeyer"riding." in Paul Jones' figure-four "hook"scissors. Lofty sought the heights, climb-ing the ropes in the corner until they bothtumbled over the ropes, spectacularly.This beat bull-dozin.! Lofty was in promptlyon the return to the ring and held Roleyin a short-aim scissors to the gong.

"Huh! Tough, stuff, eh?" looked Kirch-meyer as Lofty tried face massage in thefourth aaad he lammed in a trial jolt ortwo. In a moment they were at it ham-mer and tongs with Lofty suffering injolts and utranjrles until he. went in withfists flying to score both points and awarning in the corner. "Ha! Somethingis brewing" indicated the signs as Loftywas held in a splite. It came aa Loftyswung over in an attempt at his octopus.His left foot was held, however, and hemissed. He was on top until near theend of the round, when Kirchmeyer tooka hammerlock and head scissors, with joltsand ropework to finish off the picture.

From the gong Lofty put in the hardwork with the aid of. the ropes, but hewas held in a headlock that became astrangle. Lofty made no bones about hisresponse with a strangle, and Kirchmeyorwent in breathing "Mayhem." A jolt forLofty to the face, three back, a xnatchand Lofty was patting the mat in thespectacular python clutch.

First fall to Kirchmeyer.But Rises Again

Lofty was cautious in the sixth, but hetrot in eome kidney punches before lie wastaken down in a head scissors and thenshort-arm scissors. A ""roush-up" clearedthe deck for action and risU. legs andbodies flew in the confusion of a Donny-brook. "It's that high now" indicatedRoley'e raised hand, but Lofty climbedthe ropes to go one better—for a laugh.A jolt cleared a head scissors on Loftyjust as the gong sounded.

Ropes were again in favour for the startof the (seventh and there was spectacle asKirebmeyer was hurtled on Lofty's footas he flew in a tackle, and three timesin succession Kirchmeyei- was thrown.He came on top with the hook scissors,but a minute later the crowd was scream-ins as Lofty came out of it and swungon a forward barred toehold. For min-utes Kirchmeyer agonised and resistedwhile Blomfidd put on the pressure. Hekicked off one, but a moment later washeld again similarly. The referee hoveredin anxious question; "twice he started tocount, but again Kirchmeyer kicked clearand, limping, tossed Blomfield for a head

scissors at the gong.

That limp had its invitation and Loftytook advantage of it. Ho hold Roley in astrangle, and was strangled, face mauledand jolted in return. Jolts by Lofty—amissed attempt at a leg trip, and thenLofty had ewung on the forward toeholdagain. For a time Kirchmeyer still heldon, but at last his shoulders were forcedto the mat and two arms were lifted.

Fall each and draw.The Preliminaries.

M. Maich, 14.12, and P. Irvine, 13.8,kept the crowd excited through liverounds in the preliminary professionalbout. Mnieh took a submission fall witha; hammerlock in the fourth, but in thefifth he was disqualified by the referee,-Mr. J. McLean, for repeated disobedience.The amateur Sjonte were productive ofbright wrestling. Mr. F. Murphy acted asreferee and Messrs. G. Heald and C.Browne as judges.

C. Jones, 0.2, beat D. McPike, 9.6, bya pin fall in a minute. They made thepace fast and exciting.

The same pace was maintained by THarvey, 9.0, in beating A. Wilkinson, 9.6,'by a pin fall in two minutes.R. Hulme, 11.1, a newcomer to the ring,

put up a stout resistance to A. Xicoll ina bout that went the full distance, butlost on points. Hulme has the makings

DONOVAN AND CLARKE FALLEACH.

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)WELLINGTON*, Monday.

Klying tackles were the dominatingpnibit in to-night's wrestling matchbetween J. Donovan and J. Clarke Thevdrew, with one fall each. Clarke, adeptin showmanship, eet the pace throughout,but Donovan's ruggednees enabled him tohold his own. Both spent a considerableportion of the time in picking themselvesup from outside the ring.

Blia.Y MURPHY tt.t^

WORLD CHAMPIOX 50 YEARS AGO

The many friends in Auckland and elee-where of Billy Murphy, one-time worldchampion feather-weight boxer, will regretto learn that he at present is in the Auck-land public hospital Buffering from asudden illness./li'ii-" ust on fifty yeara ncß Bill >'(William 1nomas) Murphy was a worldboxing champion, as the result of knock-ing out the then reigning champion, IkeWeir, in a bout in San Francisco.

Since retiring from the ring over 30years ago Billy has lived in his home townof Auckland, and until a few years agoearned a living ae a clothes cleaner. Hisshop in Dominion Road was for manyyears one of the show places of Aucklandfor those interested in sport by reasonof the fact that Billy worked behind aplate-glass window draped with cobwebsand ornamented with his quaint writtensigns-intimating that he was "world cham-pion boxer and clothes-cleaner." In hieardent love for all animal and insect lifeBilly made pets of the spiders in thewindow • cobwebs, and of the mice thatcame about the place. Peering throughthe window the curious pilgrim couldoften see Billy at work while his tamemice played round, often running up hissleeves to perch unafraid on his shoulders.

Of late years the veteran, now 75 yearsof age, has been a State pensioner. |

In somoof the older oars, tho driving positionin upset by a of tho sentcushion, nnd it is (piite impossililo for aour manufacturer to lit a sufficientnumber of adjustments so Hint peopleof pvery sort of stature can be com-fortably fitted.

Hociiuse of tlie«e things, nny ownerwho in dissatisfied with his drivingposition, mid finds that it inducesfatigue fairly quickly, should study theproblem carefully nnd go to some troubleto make suitable modifications.

One of the important, things toremember is that a fairly high andupright position is the most comfortable,imposing far Jess fatigue than the oldplan of sitting practically on the floor.While most manufacturers have longsince recognised this point, sent springswill sag imperceptibly, and eventuallythe driver finds himself sitting low.with the wheel uncomfortably high. Thesimplest cure for this state of affairsis to place a cushion on the seat, oneof the new porous rubber pads servingexcellently.

Adjust the Column.When the wheel is still a little too

high, and it is impracticable to raisethe seat because of limitations imposedby the roof, it often will be found thatthe column itself can be lowered quitesimply by a garage for a few shillings.The best place for the wheel is fairlylow down near the pit of the stomachwhere it can he held firmly without thedriver having to lean forward. A right-hand arm-rest is a great aid to comfortalso, nnd in those cheaper cars whereit is not supplied i>s standard it isquite simple to fit one. However, anunsuspected fault is this. When a driverpossesses a particularly comfortablecoat which he invariably wears on longruns, as so many do. he will find thatthe right sleeve at the elbow will wearout in an astonishingly short space oftime.

In several popular makes of abouttwo years ago, a great many of whichare still in service, the hand brake leverin placed uncomfortably far to the left.where it is difficult to reach when re-starting on a hill. Apart from the factthat in these cam it is easier to starton hills by holding the car with thefoot brake, and starting °ff with theaid of the hand throttle, it is notgenerally known that it is a compara-tively easy matter for the servicestation to move the lever to the rightof the gear lever, where it can bereached easily with the left hand. Insome cases, one of those hand brakelever extensions will be a great help.

Improving Grip.Finally, some mention sliould be

made of the difficulty eome people ex-perience in holding the wheel firmlyowing to an unfortunate tendency toperspire too much in the (minis of thehands. All steering wheels to-day havea rather highly polished surface, someare far too narrow in the rim. and theh'ngers may become cramped in theendeavour to main a firm grip of theslippery surface.

To cure this trouble, a trick ran I>*borrowed from the racing cnr driver.Very few rncinjr incii will use a steer-ing wheel <if this wort, lint modify therim by liindinj.' it with cord. Thoujjhtroublesome to do. im each coil mint littightly iijjHiiiHt the next, it provides nilexcellent Riip. The usual practice into soak the cord thoroughly l>efore bind-ing, »o that when it dries it will jrripthe run firmly, and there will be nochance of movement between the coilsto cauae bitter*. A nimpler methodi« to bind the rim with adhesive tape�hough thie is not nearly as neat.

IN COLD WEATHER.TAKE APPROPRIATE STEPS.

PRESERVE VISIBILITY.

LOOK TO VOITR GLASS

Tho, colder temperatures of winterbriny- j,. now factor into play ajraiimtmotoring safety, n. factor which iemade manifest on tlio windscreen and.indeed, on all the car windows if thedriver <I.n-s not take appropriate Mopsto combiit it. A sp.cinl effort must boiniido. by all motorists to ooiinteract thoproconti of misting of wiiwlscroon andwindows.

Such a film isa dictiiu-t throat to effective ranjre ofvision, nnd. as every motorist known.utmost visibility ie essential to road-ii«in<r nafoty.

A renl danger existe in the fact thatmany motorists are not aware that nslight mir*t lilm is present, and no nllow-anco, irt made, therefore, in adjustmentof spoo<l. When motoring in a fojr,motorists slacken s|>eed find take extracare.

Safety must be placed before personalcomfort, m> matter what the weathermay Iμ-. Hand signals of intended changeof direction iniint be given in allweathers, an<l the clarity of the wind-ncreen. and the ability of the driver towe" tn the left or right, or make properuse of the rear-view mirror should bebeyond shadow of doubt at all timed.

When driving,, have the windows soadjusted that proper ventilation is eer-ttlill.

Unfortunately, many drivers do nottrouble, much about their windscreens,judging by the unclean condition ofmany screens. Outride travel film, com-bined with misting inside, could be thecause, of serious traffic danger.

There is a clause in the reflationsdemanding that no jierson shall drive amotor vehicle with a windscreen nnleseit in at all times kept clean and clearno that the driver's view forward, willnot be impeded or obstructed.

As pointed out. the process of keep-ing the windscreen clear includes theiunide, and this is a time of year whenmisting occurs.

"Coed morning, folks! Havo you heard about no-draught ventilation?"_ /

INJURED DOGS.AUSTRALIAN RTTIJNG.

BY MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

Mr. Wood, S.M., held at the SydneySummons Court on May 1 that thedriver of a car which had struck a dogwas not required by law to stop andascertain the nature of the <log's in- Ijuries or to take step* to alleviate itssuffering.

Anyone who owned a dog and allowedit to stray on streets must expect thatit would be injured at some time, heen id.

An information against Kenneth Calel-wcH, of Croydon Park, alleging that hehad ill-treated a dog. was dismissed.

Mosley Halliday. an inspector of theRoyal Society for the Prevention ofCruelty to Animals, said that on Feb-ruary 28 he saw a badly injured grey-hound in Mowbray Road West, LaneCove. Subsequently CaId well stated thatthe dog had l>cen struck by the backwheel of hi* car, but he could not etopas he was "running on time." The dog,Caldwell said, had walked on to theroad about 10 yards in front of thecar. Caldwell had wounded the hornand put on the brake.

Society's View.Witness said he told Caldwell that the

fact that the dog was injured and leftto suffer was regarded by the societya« a serious matter.

Mr. Yeldham (for the defendant) sub-mitted that there was no charge toanswer. He eaid that the evidence waethat the dog rushed on to the road andthat the driver applied hia brakes anddid his best to avoid it.

"If he had stopped he could not havetaken the responsibility of destroyingthe dog." Mr. Yeldham added.

Mr. Ilther (for the R.S.P.C.A.) quotedthe J definition of ill-treatment in theAct ae, among other things, "causingpain and Buffering by an omission." Hesubmitted that the defendant failed,after hitting the dog. to take any stepsto alleviate its sufferings, and by thatomission had lieen guilty of an offence.

Mr. Wood, dismissing the information,said that anyone who owned a dog andallowed it to stray on the etreete muetexpect that it would ultimately meetwith injury.

It was stated after the hearing thatthe R.S.P.C.A. intended to appeal againstthe magistrate's decision.

The next event on the club programmeis the closing fixture of the season, theVelocette Cup Trial. This is to be a one-day event, decided on observed sections,over a course within a few miles of thecity. The trial will be open to anyonewho can ride a motor cycle, with no agelimits. Any rider who has not yet takenpart in a trial should not miss thisopportunity of getting in a little practicalriding experience, which will definitelyhelp the average rider through thecoming winter, with its attendant greasyroads and slippery surfaces. The entryfee is small and the cup an impressivenne. A special cup has been presented,to be won outright by the best novicerider of the day. and this trophy will bewell worth winning. It has been provedtime and again that any rider who canhandle a machine can enter and, withluck, beat the riders who have been coni-peting for years. The Velocette Cup Trialwill titart from the Town Hall on Sundaymorning at 10 o'clock sharp, wet or fine,and the club captain definitely- promisesthat there will be nothing dull or mono-tonous in the whole event.

The annual generaI meeting of the cluband election of officers will be held onTuesday, June (5.

WEAK EVIDENCE.

INDECENCY CHARGES.

HORSE TRAINER ACQUITTED,

Holding that the evidence in respectof two charges of indecent assault on aMaori girl aged 12 years and 6 months,brought againet a horse trainer, HenryRama, a Maori, aged 53, was obviouslyso weak as to preclude him from eend-ing accused for trial. Mr. O. R. OrrWalker, S.M., in the Police Court yester-day acquitted Rama on both counts.

Mr. A. K. Xorth, who representedRama, submitted there was no case toanswer. The evidence had been con-flicting, the girl's aunt having statedthat she had made an incorrect state-ment to the police in the first instance.Regarding a statement obtained fromKama by the police after lie had deniedthe allegations, counsel submitted thatthis should not be admitted as evidence.

The magistrate agreed with Mr. Xorthand dismissed both charges.

AIR RAIDSHORT STORY

JT was a lovely evening, calm andstill. (Meat white clouds were

draped across the darkening purple ofthe skv.

On the plain outside the town. OldPedro scratched anion*; the shell holes.trying to make one row of strinjry beansSlow where, before, a thousand rowehad flourished.

The soil was yellow, dry and lifelew.All its jroodnesii had been scorched fromit by the blast of hijth explosive.

Even the blood of the wounded andof the dying had failed to preserve itsfruitfulness.

For war had passed that way.Old Pedro looked up at tin? sky. thon

bent, again to his task. Hi* hand*,gnarled and knotted with rheumatism,slipped oil the handle of his crude hoc.fashioned from a discarded trenchiii"tool.

The rough ash stave was dark withsweat. It would be more slippery stillbefore he shouldered it, and trudgedback towards the town.

Poor old Pedro. . . . Instead of toilinjrfrom dawn to dusk, and even throughthe siesta, he should have been sittingin the shade, drinking wine with hiscronies, who- were young when he wasyoung.

But for the war. that is what hewould have been doing. His son wouldhave been out here on the plain.

Xow his son wks dead, killed in thedefence of Madrid, a city which, to theold man. might never have existed. Itwas so fa/r away, so foreign.

And the boy had left a wife, Maria,and a child. Only Old Pedro's hoe keptthem from starving.

Once more Old Pedro looked up at thesky. In two hours it would be too darkto work.

He licked his lips. Tt was about thistime that Maria and the little one came,bringing him a bottle of water and whatwas left of the bread from breakfast.

Half shutting his eyes to focus in thefading light, he peered towards thetown. He caught a flash of white. Thatwould l>e Maria waving her apron. Thelittle one v •M be at her aide, skippingamong 4l> ■ 1] holes.

Old Pec'.io did not wave back, justwent on scraping at the tortured eoil.There was no much to be done.

It was not Maria's call, as she drewnearer, 'but another sound which madehim look up at the sky a third time.He cupped an ear with one hand tolisten to the faint, thin drone, muffledby the bank of cloud* over the town.

Every second it grew louder, louder.Then the bomber swooped into sight.

It seemed no bigger than a bird at first,but it* engine filled the sky with amonotonous, roaring melody of death.

Louder, louder. . . .

The anti-aircraft post on the otherside of the town opened fire. Titpy wereusing shrapnel. The shells l-pwi withlittle white puffs of smoke like enow-balls.

They might have been snowballs forall the 'plane heeded them.

Down it came in a power dive tostraighten out a few hundred feet abovethe roof-tope and hurtle across thetown.

From the poor quarter, on the out-skirts where Old Pedro had his home,came a spurt of flame, a spray of emokeand a hideous din.

Across the plain surged a great wind,driving the powderexl eoil before it ina dense cloud. The old man was beatento his knees.

Hβ staggered up again, wiping thedirt from his eyes. Wildly, he lookedabout him for Maria and the little one.

There was an eddy in the murk ofdust, and he saw them. They wereabout three hundred yards away. Maria,the chfld in her arms, was stumblingtowards him.

"Lie down! Lie down!" His lipsformed the words, but they were chokedin hie throat by another blast of air.Maria and the child vanished.

Over the town the bomber shriekedand scfeamed, the note of its enginesoaring a>bove the thudding crashes inits wake.

Then suddenly it stuttered . .. roared

strongly once more. Again it stuttered... sputter . . . sputter. . . .

It sounded as if it were letting outits life in great gasping breathe forpower.

And that was what was happening.A fragment of shrapnel had cut thepetrol feed-pipe. The pilot headed forthe plain and put the nose of themachine down into a long glide. .

. .

"Grandfather! (irandfather! Whereare you! Where are you!"

Hoarse with panic, Maria's voice camelike that of a ghost from out of thehaze of dust.

"Lie down! Lie down."The bomber's engine might be silent,

but from overhead the old man couldhear the whine of the wind in its wings.

Xearer, nearer it came..

..

Fighting for control of his dyingmachine, the pilot released his, lastbomb.

The earth rocked and reeled.But Old Pedro, crouching in one of

the shell holes he had cursed since dawn,still lived. The whispering of the dustdied away into a vast silence.

Still clutching his hoe, he started tocrawl in the direction from which hehad heard Maria calling.

His limbs were numb, shivering, buthe forced them to obey with the ten-acity written so clearly in hie long,eullen Basque face.

Hours seemed to pane before hereached the smoking crater where thebomb had fallen. Feverishly, hescrabbled at the earth with his fingers. >

By CLAIRE LEWIS

They touched something soft. He drewit out, and held it close "to his face.

It was a rag doll. The sawdust pouredfrom a rent in it* bodv. The face wassmeared with blood.

Very slowly Old Pedro stood up. Thebomber had crashed not far away, righton the row of beans he had plantedthat morning.

Its tail stuck up in the air like thegreat black cross in the churchyard itsvictims would fill to overflowing.He looked at it with a blank kind ofcuriosity, and then stumbled towardsit.

The pilot, stunned by the shock oflauding, lay half out *of the cockpit.The air reeked of petrol. It was pour-ing from the broken pipe, spreading ina big, black stain across the ground.

-Along the fuselage a finger of flamewas creeping.

With the la«t of his strength. OldPedro pulled the pilot from the machine,and dragged him some yards away. Thenhe let him fall.

He knelt down and tugged at theman's collar.•hist then flame touched petrol. The

blast of heat was terrific. Old Pedrohad to bury his face in the pilot's breastIo breathe.

He hoard a voice whispering in hisear ".Madre de Dios, Madre de Diosyou saved my life . . . you saved mefrom that furnace."'

Something in the words awakened allthe old man's hate. This man had killedMaria and the child. . .

. Now lie wouldkill.He pushed himself back so fiercely that

lie nearly fell over. As his hand* wentdown, it touched the handle of the hoeand the doll he had laid beside it.

He stood up and raised the hoe highabove his head. Its handle was no longerslippery. The grit that coated it gavehim a firm hold.

But it ilid not strike. The pilot's eyeswere closed, although his lips were stillmuttering, still praying.

He waited for then* to open. Hewanted the man to see him strike.

At last. . . . The pilot was staring,staring at the sharp steel edge thathovered over his head. His prayers endedwith a choking sound, and he began to

breathe heavily, like a man with con-cussion.Still Old Pedro did not strike. . . .The man began to babble, plead inthe harsh Spanish of a foreigner.He was very young, as young, asPedro's son had been when he died de-

fending Madrid.Then suddenly the ffoe fell. But itfell gently, so that the sharp steel edge

did not crash through the pilot's skull,but merely scuffed the ground.Stooping swiftly, Old Pedro picked

up the tattered doll, and opening thepilot's tunic, thrust it into his bosom.

Without a word he shouldered the hoeand trudged on across the plain towardsthe smoking ruine of the town.

For a while he could hear the pilotsobbing where he lay.

It was a lovely evening, calm andstill.

There Was an eddy in the murk of dust, and then he saw them.

Government experts who havewatched the experiment from itsearliest stages are said to be satisfiedwith the new process and that it ispracticable. Only 12 men know thesecret. They have cheeked every stageof the experiment and have obtained anagreement for first rights in theinvention.

Up till now the closest secrecy hasbeen maintained. All that is known isthat the works where the experimentshave taken pkee are in the Xorth ofEngland. It ie known, too, that thenew process is radically different fromany now in operation. It is stated thatlow-grade coal—from a commercial pointof view practically unusable—will be-come valuable as the raw material ofnew oil.

TO RETRIEVING HAT, £5.

Two 15-year-old Weymouth (Dorset)boys risked their lives in WeymouthBay for a girl's hat. The hat wasblown off a schoolgirl who was walkingon the pier. The boys jumped into aboat to retrieve it. They caught it andthrew it to the girl. Then a rowlockof their boat broke. With one oarthey could not make headway againsttin- tide, and drifted out to sea. TheWeymouth lifeboat reached them twomiles and a half off the shore. Thesea was very rough and the boys werefiling frantically, cold and frightened.Their gallantry cost the National Life-boat Institution at least £5.

TELLERS OF STORIES.

OLDEN TIME ACCOUNTANTSSOME HUMOROUS SALLIES

Humour and seriousness were pleas-antly mixed by Earl Grey in proposingthe toast of the Society of CharteredAccountants at Xe\vcaetle-on«£y.ne re« 4cently. He said that he had turned |to that splendid book, the "Oxford jDictionary," to see what it had to sayabout chartered accountants. It wastrue, no doubt, that the term "char- itered accountant" fully described allthe modern expansions in their industry,but there was something which went along way back to the days of classicalhistory when civilisation," he supposed,)had reached its greatest heights. Andit was his belief that their society thenheld a very honourable tradition "in them>rld.

Of course they were not then knownunder so modern a name as charteredaccountant, but, if hie best efforts attranslation were any good, he believedthey were held in great honour aslicensed story-tellers. They must blamethe Oxford Dictionary if he were wrong.An accountant originally had been "anarrator, a story-teller, a most hon-oured profession in those days, and itwas entirely due to the narialr thatthe great histories and the licit t.oetrvof the world had been prc-'.:v 1. Butfor that great service the world .wouldhavi? been infinitely poorer to-day.And if he might say so without givingoffence, he could not help deploring thetwentieth century habit which had ledMioni to hold, perhaps, in greater esti-••'lim than anything else the merely;i:;'tl:eniatical accuracy which they

'!< ■ ,)ed to their investigations. He was■ .nid to say that there was a fallingway from their ancient ideal. It wasmerely another sign o f the extent towlnWi materialism was debasing the cur-

reiu- of modern thought.He would like to see it made compul-

sory that'no balance-sheet be publishedthat did not bear the ages of the direc-tors. He suggested that directors agedoO and under should appear, on theassets sid» and directors of 70 and overshould be named among the liabilities.hail (irey said he suggested this inall seriousness. Nome of them mightJiave noticed a few months ago, with achorus, of approval in the Press, thatthe Minister of War had taken steps toensure that the higher commands should

MOON AND CROPS."BEFORE THE FULL."

HORTICULTURAL ASTROLOGY.WHAT SCIENTISTS THINK.

(Special.—By Air Mail.)

LONDON, April 22.Gardening by the stars and moon was

expounded at the Astrologers Conventionat Harrogaite, England, this week byMrs. Ada Parkes, of Epsom, Surrey.■'Sow two days, before the full moon,"declared Mrs. Parkes, "and you will havebumper crops. Sow tinder the waningmoon and you will Le a disappointedgardener."

There is an exception, she warnedgardeners. Root crops must be sownwhen the moon is on the wane. Thereason, she pointed out. is that potatoes,carrots and turnips and member* of theirfamily are "ruled by a different star."'

Mrs. Parkes j* convinced that thewhole art of gardening is to find whatstars rule what. Venus' "gracious ruler-ship" extends over the kingdom offlowers, but Mars controls beans andradishes and .Saturn determines thelength of parsnips. "In some unseenway," said .Mrs. Parkes, "the rhythm ofthe moon acts upon Xatme."

Mrs. Parkes feeds herself, her husbandand her three children entirely on vege-tables and fruit from a < hird'-of-an-acrepatch. Her cook. Mrs. Feather, said thisweek: "There aren't any vegetables likeMrs. Parkes' in all Epsom. Xo one'sever ill in this house. Mrs. Parkes neverbuys any vegetable.* or flowers, and verylittle fruit, except oranges." Mrs.Feather, who has cooked for Mrs. Parkesfor eight years, added: "At first I "didn'thold with all this talk of the moon andthe stars, but now I know Mrs, Parkesis- right.

Asked for his opinion, Mr. WilliamClay, a gardening expert, said: "I don'tknow anything about astrology, but Ido know from experiments thai" seedsgerminate better when the moon is ris-ing than when it is on the wane. I haveused the same seed in exactly the sameconditions and the seed planted when themoon was waxing germinated ->0 percent better than when I planted some afortnight later.

A scientist member of the RovalHorticultural Society, said: "Judgingfrom experiments, we cannot °eaywhether the moon itself, when it isrising, is responsible for a better germ-ination of seed. But it would seem•that there is evidence in favour of thetheory."

The scientist added, however, that thecontention ~f the astrologer* that cer-tain planets governed certain vegetablesand flowers was nonsense.
