SYMONS-ELLWOOD-SHORTTRIO

Wellington lovers 'of chamber musicwill have their last opportunity of hearingthe well-known Symons-Ellwood-Short trioat the Town Hall Concert Chamberthisevening, as Mr. George Ellwood leaves forEurope shortly. These three popular art-ists have presented over sixty majorchamber-music works during the eightyears of their association and their lastprogram—ie promises to be one of unusualinterest. Trios by Beethoven,Chausson,and Cuesado,and Debussy's string quar-

tet will be performed. Mrs. Frieda Meierand Mr. W. McLean will assist in thelatter number.

Referring to this eftneerr, Mr. L. D.Austin writes:—"Lovers of high-classmusic will have the.opportunity of bid-ding farewell to one of the finest amongNew Zealand instrumentalists—Mr. GeorgeEllwood. This does not imply the slight-est disparagement of other gifted per-formers. We have many accomplishedplayers in our midst—indeed,for so smalland young a community.New Zealand canboast a remarkably high percentage ofsuch. But an artist so individual andpolished as George Ellwood must inevit-ably stand out in any company: and Imake bold to predict that during his pro-jected European tour not only will headd materially to his already numerousand richly-deserved laurels, but he willassuredly not fail considerably to en-hance this Dominion's musical prestigeabroad. Let us hope fervently that Mr.Ellwood's absence will not be too pro-longed, also that he may escape the fatewhich has been the experience of ourprominent cricketers—i.e., we don't wanthim 'pinched' by envious foreign organ-isations."'

CARNIVAL NIGHT LIGHTS

Plans made for the illumination of citystreets during carnival week next monthpromise a very bright show. The CityCouncil has had in stock for some timea big supply of strings of coloured lights,and Mr. Geo.Lauchlan,who is in chargeof the illumination arrangements, has pur-chased 2500 additional globes. He proposesto hangstreamers of coloured lights every

40ft across Cuba, Manners, and WillisStreets from the Vivian Street junctionto StewartDawson's corner. Lower Cuba.Streetwill be similarly decorated,and theportico of the Town Hall will be pickedout in electric lights. Extra lights willbo erected at the Courtenay-Place junction,and the parade at Oriental Bay will belit by lights festooned between'the poleson, the seawall.- '" The City Couucil willsupplyall current used for privateillumina-tions in the city free of charge, and asthere is not now much time-Mr. Lauchlanasks that'firms intending,to make decora-tive displays should notify the ElectricityDepartment without delay, otherwise itwill be difficult to make the necessaryarrangements. ....

"The House of Dreams is a clevercharacter study of two men,Lord Carring-ton and Dick Trent. In these roles,K.Brasted and W. G. Alexander give con-vincing performances, and last night heldthe audience enthralled throughout theplay G. S. Richards,as the mystic, sin-ister Ah Vat, keeper of a Limehouse opiumden,carried his difficult part well, and K.F. Ward was excellent as the droll, humanderelict, Dopey Joe. For sheer dramatiointensity, this was the gemof the evening,and it would be agood play and amateurcast that would better it.

"Elegant Edward," a witty comedy con-cerning the adventures of a society burg-lar, was also well played.

_G. S. Rich-

ards was again successful in a very dif-ferent part from that previously played.R. F. Ward, in a role similar to that pfDopey Joe, was equally convincing, andJ. S. Thompson made avery amiable Mrs.Treherne. .

As Lucy Jinks, in "It'll Happen Again,a "tragedy of real life" with a comic end-ing, Thompson again showed ability in fe-male roles. W. G. Alexander as CaptainAusten, carried conviction, and G. S.Richards appeared to have as little diffi-culty in portraying the contemptiblelittle sneak-thief;Joe Jinks, as he did withhis more sophisticated fellow-tradesman,"Elegant Edward." . .'

A little more of the slapstick comedy ele-ment wag introduced in the fourth play,"Ali the' Cobbler,"but this seemed to beappreciated by the younger members ofthe audience. K. G. L. Dowling and G.F. Roberts acted well together, and, withthe aid of the white man's "waters^ ofdeath" carried out an effective Persian-ised "Taming of the Shrew." IS*.K. Veni-more, as the ill-tempered Zuliefca, and K.Brasted as Youssef, handled their partsexpertly. 'The versatility of these young players,particularly of G. S. Richards and W. G.Alexander, is truly' remarkable. Ah Vatis as far from "Elegant Edward," as "Ele-gant Edward" is from Joe Jinks, and eachis'kept well.in his1 place.

The plays are produced by Mr. A. S.Farquhar, assisted byMessrs. R. Hogg andU. Edwards.

The fortnightly meeting of the HuttRiver Board was held yesterday. Therewere present Messrs F. J. Jones (chair-man), J. Mitchell, J. Brasell, and M. J.Hodgins.

The engineer, Mr. Sladdeu, reportedon the cost of tank, stand, and pumpfor providing. water for the board's|sections at Taita. It was decided thatthe cost was too high and tho engineerwas asked to report on the cost of asmaller scheme.

Tho Treasury Department advisedthat the board's loan conversion seheuiefor £14,000 had been approved.

The Oddfellows' Lodge asked for aremission of the penalty on rates on aproperty over which the lodge holds amortgage. The board replied that itwas not its policy to remit penalties.

Tho foreman, Mr. Kershaw, reportedhaving his bicycle stolen. The boarddecided to replace it with a new one.

The secretary reported an increase inroyalties for shingle, and that rateshad come forward more satisfactorythan last year.

A SNAKES' PARADISE

If one wants to see snakes, he is ad-vised to go to the clay-mining districtnorth of Corfo Castle, ii» Dorsetshire.If there is a snakes' paradise inBritain, this is the place. There arcsix species of British reptiles, andrepresentatives of all of them, includ-ing tho rare smooth snake and sandlizard, may be seen here. The otherfour species are tho adder, tho grasssnake, tho slow worm, and the commonlizard. The adder is tho only one ofthesereptiles that is poisonous, and itsbite is rarely fatal, though, naturally,medical attention should bo obtainedas quickly as possible if one is bitten.But it is not often that anyone isbitten, and this snake has been de-scribed as "dangerous only to toydogs, stupid babies and invalids."

UPPER HUTT TRAINSSPEEDING UP URGED

DEPUTATION'S REQUESTS

A suggestion that the train, servicebetween Upper Hutt and Wellingtonshould be speeded up, and various othersuggestions, were placed before theGeneral Manager of Railways (Mr. G.H. Mackley) yesterday by a deputationintroduced by the Mayor of UpperHutt (Mr. A. J. McCurdy). Membersof the deputation connected with localbodies were Messrs. W. Fortune, W.Greig, G. H. Guthrie, and J. Purvis(Upper Hutt Borough Council), and Mr.S. Blackley (Hutt County Council).Other citizens included in the deputa-tion were Messrs. H. G. Butter, J. Too-hill, and A. P. Levin.

Mr. Fortune asked Mr. Mackley toexpedite the service to the extent of-ten minutes a train, and to employ aVVStype of engine instead of the WWtype at present in use; this would cu-ablo the engino to get away quickerf/6m the stations than was the case atpresent. A proposed time-table was sub-mitted, and it showed means of cut-ting down the service to a 40-minuteone by leaving- out certain stops, andby running other trains to do the workat present being undertaken bythrough trains to and from Upper Hutt.A request was made for steam-heatedcars in the winter months, and betterprovision in the way of sanitary con-veniences in the trains. The view wasexpressed that the time-tables of busesand trains clashed to a great degree.Another suggestion was that feederbuses might be run from outlying dis-tricts to the stations, and buses couldbe run on the Western Hutt,Road fromHaywards to Lower Hutt; picking uppassengers, and thus obviating thenecessity of the train stopping so fre-quently. Another point was the desira-bility of having interchangeable busand train tickets. The difference in thebus and train fares was also pointed out.

The desirability of running Sundaytrains was pointed out, and attentionwas drawn to the facilities that Maid-stone Park offered to picnickers. Itwas suggested the Department shouldreturn to the old basis of charging Is 6dreturn second class and 2s return firstclass. It was stated that the UpperHutt Council mightnot give any guar-antee to the Railway Department thisyear, but allow railway ticket-holders 25per cent, redudtion on tho entranco feeto the park.

A request was made for an all-roundreduction in fares, particularly withregard to workers' tickets, which, itwas stated, had been increased from4s 3d three years ago to 5s 8d today.It was suggested that buses running tothe Brown Owl tearooms should havetheir route extended to the road leadingto the Plateau, and to the Akatarawa.A request for a bus to leave the BrownOwl between 8.30 a.m. and 12.30 p.m.was made, and a time suggested was10.30 a.m. A request was made foran extra light at Wallacevillc Station.

GENERAL MANAGER'S REPLY.Mr. Mackley said all would agree

that the time taken by the tram inrunning between Upper Hutt and Wel-lington had been improved on what ithad been in the past. The populationof the' upper part of the Hutt valleyhad increased, and any gain'made inthe time of travelling was swallowedup by tho requests of residents forstops. The question of tho speed ofthe train had been investigated,- andat the present time he could not sobhow any improvement could be made ifall the present' stops were to be retained.He would go into the whole question oftime-tables, and issue a reply at a laterdate. Many thing had to be consideredwith regard to steam heating and othersuggested improvements, and financecame into it, but all the desired im-provements would all come about intime. The apparent clashing of busesand trains was not a new matter tohim, and it had caused' concern in thepast. However, there were many thingsto consider, such as the number ofpeople from ' Upper Hutt using thebuses, and the question of serving theresidents of the lower part of thevalley. There were good reasons fortheposition remaining as it was at pre-sent. He promised to look into thequestion of feeder buses, and whethertheycould be run on the Western HuttRoad. There were difficulties in thoway of having interchangeable bus andtrain tickets, and it was impracticableto have an interchangeable ticket tor,the 5 p.m. services. As far as theworkers' ticket was concerned, the in-crease had been' inevitable owing toincreased costs, and it was only partof the general increase in all faresbrought into use at the same time asthis particular one. Ho regretted hecould not hold out any hope for. a de-crease in fares, though he did appre-ciate the desirability of giving themost efficient service at tho lowestpossible cost. Ho would look into thematters of extendingthe bus route pastthe Brown Owl, and whether a 10.30a.m.bus could be run from the Brown Owl.If it were found expedient, an extralight would bo erected at the Wallaee-ville Station.

A request was jnado by the deputationthat schoolchildren who had left then-season ticket at home should not haveto pay extra fare. Mr. Mackley saidan important principle was involved,and the discretion could not1b( left intho guards' hands, but individual casesmight receive attention.

MINISTER FAREWELLEDTHE REV. JAMES BAIRD

Tributes to the work of the Rev. JamesBaird were paid last evening at a fare-well social tendered to him on the eveof his departure from the Kent Ten-acePresbyterian Churchto St. Paul's,Timaru.There was a large gathering, and among

those present, were the Rev. Dr bibb(in the chair), the Rev. N. F. 1.. R°bert-shawe, vicar of St. Mark's; Mr. I. &■Reynolds, secretary of the Cambridge ler-race Congregational Church, and represen-tatives from the Roseneath PresbyterianChurch.

The Rev. Dr. Gibb eulogised Mr. Band sservices in the church, and said he wasone of the finest preachers that the Pres-byterian Church had in New Zealand. Hisimpressive earnestness had marked himout as a speaker of high rank. Dr. Gibbwished the departing minister every suc-cess in Timaru.

Further spec&lics were'made by (lie Rev.Mr. Robertshaivt and Mr. Reynolds. Thefollowing also spoke:—Mr. King (on be-half of the Kent Terrace: Church BibleClasses), Miss M. J. Thompson (for theMissionary Union), Mrs. George McLean(for the Ladies' Guild), Mr. A. Mill (forthe choir), Mr. J. Dunnet (for DeaconsCourt), Mr. E. C. Jack (for the SundaySchool), Mr. Boyco (for the Inter-churchReliefCommittee), and Mrs. Tythe-Brown,president of the New Zealand NursesChristian Union.

In presenting Mr. Biiird with n walletcontaining a cheque, Mr. C. Il'. Falconer,on behalf of the congregation, said thatthey had to thank Ireland for the twoministers theKent Terrace Church had hadduring the past forty-five years.Not onlyhad Mr. Baird come from there, but alsoDr. Kennedy Elliott, the first minister.Mr. Falconer expressed deep appreciationof the work which had been' done by Mr.Baird and his colleague, Dr. Elliott. ■

In reply the Rev. Mr. Baird expressedgratitude for the.tributes paid to him.During the twelve years of his ministryat Kent Terrace,he said, he had formedmany friendships, and he was indeed sorryto leave. On behalf of his wife and him-self he thanked the congregation for theirgift and also for a Westminster clock,presented by member* o| the Bible claeses.

IRISH SWEEPSTAKETICKETS IN AUCKLAND

HORSES DRAWN

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

AUCKLAND, October 25.At least three horses have been

drawn by residents of Auckland Pro-vince holding tickets in the Irish hos-pitals sweepstake on the Cambridge-shire Stakes. A Papakura syndicatedrew the three-year-old colt Coup deLyon, a syndicate in Rotorua drew thethree-year-colt The Font, and Mr.Henry Fastgato, house manager of theEpsom Infirmary, drew the three-year-old colt Gino.

The Papakura ticket, which is held.in the name of Mrs. j.C. Ross,was sub-scribed for at a gathering of Mrs.Ross's family and friends two or threemonths ago. Eleven of those present,including Mrs. Ross and four of hersons, Messrs. J. C. Ross,M. Ross,B. H.Ross,and A. Ross subscribed Is each,and, in order to bring the sum up tothe required amount, another . friend,Mr. A. Keano, freezingworks employee,Papakura, subscribed the extra 3d. Ifthe horse drawn, Coup de Lyon, winsthe race Mr. Keane stands to win over£600 for his investment of 3d. Othermembers of the syndicate are Messrs.D. McKinstry, milk roundsman, and C.L. Walker, farm hand.

The Rotorua ticket is held partly byMr. J. E. Meates and Miss Cosseboom,to whom the stroke of luck is extremelyfortunate, as they intend to get mar-ried shortly. There are eight membersin the syndicate which purchased abookof tickets in the sweepstake, and all willparticipate in the amount won.

PETROL TAXATIONDIVERSION OPPOSED

ROADS DETERIORATING

' Petrol taxation figured largely in thediscussions at the annual meeting of theWellington Automobile Club last evening.

The chairman of the executive commit-tee (Mr. E. A. Batt) said that out of thelOd per gallon tax collected during thepast year 8d went either direct to theConsolidated Fund or to relieve chargeswhich that fund had previously and pro-perly carried, and only 2d went to theMain Highways Board for roading pur-poses. In other words,of the total amountof £1,866,000collected only £400,000wentto the Main Highways Board. The roadswere being thrashed to pieces, and therewas not enough money even for mainten-ance. Strenuousefforts were being madeto put the matter right, and it was hopedto have at least a big proportion of thetax devoted to the original purpose ofprotecting and maintaining the roads.'

The president (Sir Alexander Roberts*)said that during the year there had beena further increase of 2d.per gallon in thepetrol tax for the benefit of the Consoli-dated Fund. That mightbe looked uponin certain quarters ac a "luxury" tax, butthe fact could not be disregarded that itwas also a further tax on the commercialcommunity. A very largl proportion ofthe annual consumption of petrol was forcommercial use. One had only to travelround the country to realise 'how veryfew private cars were using the roads.The further duty on petrol had undoubt-edly put an added burden on to the com-mercial community, which today was*hardly in a position to stand very muchmore taxation.

LONG-SIGHTED VIEW

TRANSPORT REGULATIONS

Criticism of the motor transportregulations was voiced by Sir Alex-,ander Roberts, president of the Wel-lington Automobile Club, at the annualmeeting last evening.

"To my mind," ho said, "these regu-lations should be framed by those inauthority takinga long-sighted view ofthe situation. . . . Care should betaken that the regulations are framedin such,a manner aB not to restrict un-duly what the braina of our engineershave produced for our use and benefit,and I am afraid that that aspect israther inclined to be overlooked. Iwould particularly mention that some-what vexed question of 'driving to thecommon danger.' Under certain cir-cumstances, a driver in Now Zealandmay be callod upon to prove that hewas not 'driving to . the common dan-ger.' The principle, to my mind,violates the basis of all British justice,,that a man is innocent until he isproved, guilty. (Hear, hear.) I can-not see any good reason why thereshould be any exception to this soundrule in the ease of motorists."

Referring to the question of speedlimits on gravel roads, Sir Alexandersaid- ho believed there was a case forsome definite limit, as many driversdid not realise the danger of gravelroads, particularly where it was thepractice of the local authority to pro-vide the loose running surface that hadcome into vogue in the last few years.His own opinion was that a limit of45 m.p.h. would meet'the position.

SELLING AT A LOSS

RESULT OF PETROL "WAR""There has been a 'war' on for some

months now, and petrol .is actuallybeing sold at a loss in this country to-day," said Mr. E. A. Batt at the annualmeeting of tho Wellington AutomobileClub last evening. "The only peoplebenefiting from it are the consumers.Our company is not wanted, by

Mr. Marcus Marks said that petrolwaa 6d per gallon cheaper in Sydneythan it was in Wellington.

Mr. Batt said that an independentcompany was also operating in Aus-tralia, whero the position was the sameas in New Zealand. "I want to assureyou that everybody is losing money at"the present time," he added.

TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA■TERMS OF TREATY ANNOUNCED

RATIFICATION BY THE HOUSE

EXTENSION OF PREFERENTIAL TARIFFDesigned to promote closer traderelationships between the two

countries, die New Zealand-Australian:Trade Treaty, containing16 articles and four separate memoranda* was submitted to theHouse of Representatives for ratification last night. The con-firniatbry resolutions, effecting manychanges ofmutual advantagein the existing schedules, were approved and the Bill itself read afirst time.-- Under the agreement the Commonwealth grants to NewZealand generally the benefit of the British Preferential Tariff,except on certain lines on which lower rates have been arranged,and in return New Zealand affords the same preference, withhigher and lower rales than it in several instances. Mutual actionwill be 'tajcen to prevent the diversion of New Zealand'simport trade from the United Kingdom to Australia.

Arrangements have been made to abolish! the sales tax onDominion goods where similar Australianlines are exempted, andNew Zealand exports will also be relieved- of 'the". 10 ; per. cent.primage, on the understanding .that New .Zealand' abolishes herprimage on Australian''imports .when, financial conditions permitsThe rights of both countries to impose protective-duties is,.:■. sale-o-uarded, and a common basis for protection of local industrieshas been reached. As evidence of the reciprocal nature of theagreement and the desire of Commonwealth and Dominion to co-operate to, common advantage is the article.which permits thefree entry'of Governmentpublicity films into either country.. The termination of the agreement is dependent upon thegiving of six months' notice by either side. The treaty will comeinto operation on a date to be fixed by proclamation. Naturallymembers on both sides of the House were intensely interested in

the concessions given to the Commonwealth and thosereceived in

return.

: Mr. Coates explained, that the tradehgreement which had been entered intobetween the Commonwealth of Australiaand the Dominion was foeing placed be-fore the House so that its presentationmight coincide with its introductioninto the Federal Parliament.

"As members are no doubt- awaro,"gaid Mr. Coates, "it is now nearlytwelve years since the first trade agree-■ment wa3 made between the Common-wealth and New Zealand." Althoughminor modifications have been mado tothat agreement on various occasions itlas been felt: by the Government forBorne considerable time that, owing tochanges which have occurred in recentyears in world conditions generallyandin those of.Australia and New.Zealandparticularly, it was very desirable thata personal discussion should take placebetween representatives of the two Gov-ernments regarding the question ofcommercial relations between the two

"Early-this year an invitation wasextended1to' the Commonwealth Gov-ernment to send one.of thoir Ministersto New Zealand to discuss the wholeposition, and as a result Senator theHon. Sir Walter Massy Greene,Assist-ant Federal Treasurer, arrived in Wel-lington on March 20 last with a partyof official advisers.

"After considerable discussion hadtaken place a provisional agreementwasreached on April'G.last and uegotia-tionsvwhich' jhave-'subsequently takenplace .have' .ended with -the signing of

'" the agreement now tobe placed beforethe House for ratification.,■ SOME' HISTORY.

■'"■ "Before idealing with this agreement■it would'probably: be of' assistance to'members;if I were to give a brief his-tory of .the old agreement which will

' : cease to' have effect whon the newagreement is brought into force. Al-though, since the adoption of the policyof preference by New Zealand she ac-corded that preference to all parts ofthe British Empire the Commonwealthgranted preference to the United King-dom only. The position became soone-sided that in 1921 the New ZealandParliament decided to place Australiaion the General Tariff.. "After negotiations between represen-tatives of the two countries the exist-ing trade agreement was entered intoon April 11, 1922.

"Under this agreement each country©ranted to goods of the other the bene-fits of its British Preferential Tariff,except with' regard to certain classesof goods on which special rates w.erefixed. Taking into consideration allthe facts, particularly tho industrialdevelopment of Australia in recent

\-cars, I do not think that this agree-ment has been so one-sided as manypeople believe. ■ The balance of tradetetween the two countries has always

leen in favour of Australia.THE BALANCE OI1 TRADE.: The following figures show the trade: Tietween the two countries;—! irstly tor

'.<"'£should state that the first'period'included some of the war years' andi'mn'iflcliate post-war period when trade,especially in Great Britain, was dis-organised and New Zealand drew itssupplies from other available markets.

"Only in tho year 1027 was tlic tradeNearly balanced and that was accounted.■j,'or by the large exports of our butterto the Commonwealth. Iv 1«28, how-tviiûAustralia increased tlio duty on.out' I gutter from ."2d ;per pound to (3dper pound, thus checking'this trade.; ('This action was taken by-Australiaowing to the 'then.recent introductionof the Paterson scheme into that coun-try which, inter alia, had the effect ofincreasing the price of Commonwealthbutter on the local market there to en-hance the return to producers of butterexported. Without the increase in dutyin 1028 tho Paterson plan could nothave succeeded.

PBIMARY PRODUCTS."Although the figures I have quoted

show that tho balance has been greatlyin favour of Australia, an analysis ofthe trade shows that total trade in prim-ary products during the six years 1927.to 1932 inclusive has been in favour ofINcw Zealand, as will bo apparent fromthe.following figures:—Imports into New Zealand of Aus-

tralian primary products .... £;7,10j,000imports Into Australia of primary

products of New Zealand origin £9,G10,000

Eaiatteo ju tevoa: f£ 3s«y &aland fi5.,475.,000

"Thebalance of total trade in favourof Australia'is accounted for mainly

"by the*importation of Australian manu-factured goods, but in-" view of thegreat development of industries iv theCommonwealth/this is not to be won-dered at. -■'■ '"■"■ ■'. ■ ."'■,.'

"When the similarity of the primaryindustries of Australia and New Zea-land is taken into consideration, it willbe realised "what great difficulties areencountered in endeavouring to makean agreement,which will ensure a moreeven balance of trade between the twocountries. -.'-,■ ~ '; ''I should at this stage'make at clearthat I do not consider that any agree-ment which may'bo made r with theCommonwealth will enable,the trade tobe balanced, '£or the reason that NewZealand;is\'almost 'wholly dependentupon its primary products for its ex-ports, whereas Australia has developedits-secondary industries ■ to' an extentnot possible <n a, country haying ourpopulation. It*is expected, however,that the new "'agreement will result ina more even balance in tho trade be-tween the two countries.

OBJECTS OF AGREEMENT."The chief objects which tho Gov-

ernment had in viewin comploting theagreement were:—

"Firstly—To obtain as favourabletariff, treatment'as possible for NewZealand products in Australia.

"Secondly—Tosafeguard tho primaryand secondary industries n£ New Zea-land. -,: ,:'■'.' "■.."■■'

"Thirdly—To encourage.trade with-in- the Empire by a.transfer of thotrade ■whici isysuitplied by., foreigncountries, and. ;V' ,-.. "Fourthly—To prevent the-divorsionof New Zealand's import trade fromthe,United Kingdom to Australia.

"As: members are awaro there is amarked difference beiweon the tariffpolicies of tho: two countries. Whereasthe policy of'New-Zealand for manyyears past has been to grant a moder-ate tariff protection to local' industries,Australia on the.other hand has, in re-cent years at any rate, embarked on apolicy of high tariff., protection. Therates in force in Australia under theBritish 'Preferential Tariff on manylines of goods of kinds which are manu-factured yin New Zealand are in many-instances so high that unless some con-cession were obtained it would be'[im-possible for our exporters to gain ad-mittance! to tho Commonwealth mar-kets. " '*'In the now agreement concessionshave, wherever possible, been obtainedin respect of those classes of goodswhere there is a possibility of NewZealand supplying part of tlid Common-wealth's requirements.

MUTUAL ADVANTAGE."^Representations which have been

made from time to time by thoso inter-ested wero fully borne iv mind whenthe negotiations were iv progress andI feel sure that when, the terms of theagreement are known, it will be ad-mitted that the agreement should proveto the mutual advantage of the twocountries.' "" " ."It is proposed to issue in tabulated

form for the .information of membersa statement showing the rates of dutyinforce in-the Commonwealth under theagreement and Tinder the British Pre-ferential and 'General Tariffs. A similarstatement with respect to the duties inNew Zealand under the agreement andunder the British Preferential audGeneral ■ Tariffs will also be laid on"the table of the House.

"In view of the full particulars con-tained in these statements it will notbe necessary for. me, in dealing withtho terms of the agreement, to detailthe rates which have been granted byeither, country.

UNDER BRITISH RATES."Lower duties than those under the

British "Preferential-Tariffon New Zea-land products entering Australia areprovided for in the schedule to thoagreement on many lines, the chief, ofwhich are stilton cheese,' fresh andfrozen fish and fish pastes, dried peas,hay, chaff, fresh, smoked and preservedmeats, toheroa and other, fish soups,onions, lucerne seed, wine, furs, hats,caps, woollen floor rugs,pig iron, variousagricultural and dairying machineryand implements, milking machines andvacuum pumps for uso therewith,petrol pumps, various kinds of ma-chinery, oil engines, whalo oil, casein,sugar of milk, timber, chamois leather,and cartridges.

"Complaints have at various timesbeen made by, producers and manufac-turers in New Zealand that, oiving tothe higher, rates of duty generallylevied in Australia than in New Zea-,laud on jthb'teamoclaisses of goods, Aus-tralian traders were, ablo to send thoirproducts to this country and competein the New Zealand markets, whereas,New Zealand' merchants were in effectshut out of the Australian market.

"The agreement, in Articlo IX, pro-vides a method of overcoming such adifficulty. Under this Article, afterthree months' notice has been givenwith respect' to any specific class ofgoods not enumerated in Schedule Bto the agreement, tho Australian Gov-ernment must reduce the duty on suchNew Zealand goods entoring the Com-monwealth to the lower duty in forcein this Dominion on Australian goods.If this course ia not followed tho NewZealand Government havo the right toincrease the. rate on Australian goodsto that in force in tho Commonwealthon our goods. ■ The provision is, ofcourse,-reciprocal. Itia considered thatthis Article, together with that relat-ing to".the basis of preference to whichI will refer later, will as far as pos-sible glace producers anil nianuJaicturera

in both countries 'on an even competi-tive basis. ■

THE PRIMAGE DUTY.■". "Australia has, in Article VII, agreed.'to-'1exempt'1New "Zealand goods fromprimage duty.For some time past manyof our products, whether frcoVof dutyoi! liable to.;duty, entering Australiaunder: theold agreement have been sub-ject to a primage duty of 10 per cent.ad valorem. It will be understood thatthe removal'of this primage duty shouldresult iv considerable benefit to ourexporters and an increased market forNew Zealand products.

''On our part we have agreed toabolish the primage duty now payableon certain Australian products as soonas financial conditions, will permit ofthis being done. ; .

"Sales taxis payable on many classesof New Zealand goods when importedinto or sold in the Commonwealth,whereas similar goods of Australianorigin aro exempt from that tax. Thishas placed thoso of our goods whichare affected, for example, fish, at a dis-advantage in the Australian market.The agreement provides that New Zea-land goods exported to the Common-wealth shall not be subject to salestax if similar Australian goods arenot liable to that tax. This provisionis also reciprocal, but as the New Zea-land Sales Tax Act is at present ap-plicable both to locally produced andimported goods of the same classes noalteration is required in; our law.

"The effect of Articles VII and XIrelating,to primage duty and sales taxis £hat in many:classes .of,our, goods areduction will'be made'of at least 15per cent. .ad. valorem -in ■ the dutyand/or tax chargeable-in Australia. Inthe ease of goods which arc exempt fromordinaryduty, for example, timber, fish,hides and skins, and agricultural seeds,which bore one or other or both ofthese taxes, the effect will be to. makethem actually free of duty and salestax.

GOODS PROM AUSTRALIA."Under the agreement duties lower

than those in force under the Britishpreferential tariff have been grantedon certain lines of Australian goods,the chief of which are cotton-seed meal,hay, chaff, oats, dried peas, fish, fishpastes and soups, wine, eucalyptus oil,chamois leather, vacuum pumps formilking machines, certain oil engines,and timber. With the exception -of cot-ton-seedmeal and eucalyptus oil (whichare not made' in New Zealand) anddressed timber^ the duties onthese goodswill be the same in Australia as in NowZealand.

"Provision is also made in the agree-,nient for a'dirty of one' penny perpound to1be imposed- under the generaltariff on raisins when imported intoNew Zealand. The Commonwealth Gov-ernment.hak given ah undertaking thatthe Australian' industry would not inany way orat any time take advantageof the protection granted against theforeign dried fruit, and agreed thattheNew Zealand Government has the rightto remove at any time the duty onforeign raisins, if it appears to theGovernment of N«w Zealand that theundertaking is not being adhered to.It will be obvious, therefore, that theinterests of the consuming public areamply safeguarded, and that the.dutyon the foreign dried raisins will notresult in any increase in the price ofthat commodity to the consumingpub-lic. ■■.■""■■

PROTECTING INDUSTRIES."To protect New Zealand industries

the duties on many classes of Austra-lian goods have been fixed at rateshigher' than those' in force on similarUnited Kingdom goods. The principalcommodities affected' arc potatoes, freshcherries, canned fruits, jams, soap,sugar of<milk, rennet, woollen rugs,woollen blankets, woollen textiles, foot-wear of other* than rubber, leathermanufactures, earthen roofing tiles,galvanised iron manufactures, tinware*gas heating .and cooking - appliances,certain kinds';of machinery and metalmanufactures-and corn millet brooms.

"For many years our manufacturershayei'beeii at >s com-"paredi with, Australian,,'manufacturerson account of the difference in the pre-ference conditions in force in the twocountries'." With respect to goods par-tially manufactured in New Zealand,Australia hitherto granted preferenceprovided that 75 per cent, of the factoryor works cost' Was represented by ex-penditure -in New Zealand ', materialand/or labduf." (Jri the other hand, insimilar circumstances New Zealandgranted tariffpreference on Australiangoods provided that the expenditure in'material "and/or" labour within the Em-pire was not less than 50 per cent, ofthe factory cost of the goods.

"Under the agreement the basis ofpreference will be practically the, samein both ■ countries -for ■ goods the pro-duce or manufacture'of the other, andit is provided: that goods which arc par-tially manufactured in Australia orNew Zealand shall not be regarded astheproduce or manufacture of the Com-monwealth or the Dominion,-as the casemay be, unless the expenditure mmaterial produced ineither country andlabour performed within either countryrepresents not less than one-half of thefactory or works cost of the goods mtheir finished state.

DIVERSION OF TRADE."With regard to the diversion of the

New Zealand' import trade from theUnited Kingdom to the Commonwealthwhich has taken place in recent yearsno doubt this-has been occasioned al-

most wholly by the difference m ex-change rates- between New Zealand onLondon on the one hand and New Zea-land on Australia on tho other. Whenthis position developed steps weretaken by the Customs Department tooffset to a large extent this exchangeadvantage. " ■ " -~4.1''The action takenwith respect to tnc

valuo of the,goods was to imposewherenecessaryexchange dumping duty to theextent of the exchange advantage inexcess of 5 per cent, on > all dutiablegoods (except on a few lines) and ona limited class,of free, g00d5.....

"When the rate of exchange NewZealand on Australia was 18. 5-8 percent, an exchange clumping.duty of 135-8 per cent, was levied, but when onJune 4, 1931, the exchange rate was re-duced to 13 5-8 per cent, the exchangedumping duty was similarlyreduced to8 5-8 per cent.

"Now that the exchango|rate Non-Zealand on London has increased to 25per cent., and New Zealand;and Aus-tralian currencies are at par with eachother there is a possibility of a furtherdiversion from the United Kingdom totho Commonwealth.

"An understanding has been enteredînto between tho Governments of thoCommonwealth and New Zealand,where-byif, since March 31 last, there has beena substantial diversion of New Zea-land's import trade from the UnitedKingdom !to Australia, the* necessarysteps.will be taken" to check suc,hdivers-ion. - ■.. '-~■■"..■"■"I think that members /will agree

that!where the United-Kingdom has, inrespect of certain classes of goods, en-joyed the import trade with this coun-try over a period of years, and a diver-sion may take place owing to the ab-normal conditions at present existingsteps should be taken to ensure that,as far as possible,:our import trade withthe United Kingdom on those goodsshould be maintained."

PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENT,Mr., Coates proceeded to give details

of the agreement entered into betweenthe two Governments.It was provided that neither country

should, except by mutual agreement oruntil after six calendar months'notice, iri.ci'easo the duties on the goodsmentioned in the schedule. The rightwas reserved to either country to im-pose new duties upon any goods for thoprotection of new industries establishedor proposed to be established or to

collect or impose dumping duties oranalogous special duties to meet ab-normal trading conditions. Provisionwas made for the exemption from prim-'ago duty of New Zealand goods im-ported into the Commonwealthand fortho removal of primage duty on Aus-tralian goods imported into New Zea-land when financial conditions wouldpermit the abolition of that duty.. Goods imported into New Zealandand thereafter shipped to Australia,and goods imported into Australia andthereafter shipped to New Zealandwere to be entitled to entry under thoBritish Preferential Tariff if such goodson importation direct to either coun-try from the country of origin wouldhave been entitled to admission underthat tariff. . ' -Mr. Coates recorded his appreciationof the fact that throughout tho nego-tiations the friendliest spirit prevailedand he fully believed that the discus-sions which had taken place and theagreement wheh had been made would.!have the effect of removing many diffi-culties which had arisen, and bo themeans of improving trade between theCommonwealthand the Dominion to theImutual benefit of both.

TREATY DISCUSSED

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED

TRADE WITH BRITAINAlthough members complained

that they were unable to do justiceto a discussion on the treaty atshort notice, they nevertheless de-bated the agreement for practicallythe entire evening. There was ageneral feeling that the treatywould be helpful to New Zealand,though various individual aspectsof it were subject to criticism, par-ticularly New Zealand's adversetrac}e balance with Australia. TheMinister of Customs replied,' andthe Customs resolutions embodyingthe provisions of the agreement'were adopted. Mr. Coatessaid thatNew Zealand Lad been definito onthe point that there should be noswing of trade from the UnitedKingdom, and if there was a ten-dency in this direction AustraliaWould have to limit her exports tothe Dominion.Mr.- H. T. Armstrong (Labour,

Christchureh East) said there was nota great deal of difference between theproposed and existing tariffs. In re-spect of boots, however, New Zealandmanufacturers had aaked for more pro-tection, and he thought that they wouldprotest. The tariff on Australian pota-toes had been increased from £1 to£2 10s per ton,but there was no men-tion of New Zealand potatoes beingshipped to Australia. Were they dutyfree, or was there an embargo againstthem? The New Zealand wine indus-try would have a decided advantageunder the tariff, and he believed therewould be a trade with Australia in NewZealand wine.

Mr. A. Harris (Government, Waite-mata) said that as far as one couldjudge the arrangement should be bene-ficial. One wondered why provisionhad been mad? for New Zealand manu-factured hats.

Mr. W. E. Parry (Labour, AucklandCentral): What about Australian hats?

Mr. Harris said there was a bigconcession in the removal of tlio 10per cent, primage.

Mrs. E. E. McCombs (Labour, Lyt-telton) considered that attentionshould be given to fish, and pointed outhow the Chatham Islands were ■ affected.

HELP FOR INDTJSTBIES.Mr. A. S. Richards (Labour, Eoskill)-j

said that the fresh fruit industry wasexperiencing difficulties at the presenttime, and the tariff'on canned fruitswas in favour of Australia. Somethingmight have:been done to give moreencouragement to the New Zealandgrowers. The first duty of the Govern-ment was to the- New Zealand indus-tries; second, consideration should begiven to the United Kingdom; and,third, to Empire countries, .

Mr.H. Atmore (Independent, Nelson.)said that he was disappointed that theduty on New Zealand hops had not beenlowered, as through the loss of theAustralian market owing to the pro-hibitive tariff, the Dominion growershad lost a big outlet for their surplus,and a large portion of the hop-growingarea had gone out of production. Inview of the fact that the balance oftrade was enormously in favour of theCommonwealth, the Government mighthave pressed for a reduction in theduty on hops, the growing of whichprovided a largeamount in wages.

Mr. D. G. Sullivan (Labour, Avon)said the country had to protect its ownskilled working people, and the Do-minion's people should have hadgreater protection from Australianimports. v:

Mr. H. S. S. Kyle (Government,Biccartou.) pointed out that tho aboli-tion of the primage duty would be ofconsiderable benefit to New Zealand.Higher protection had been affordedcherry producers, "/Mr. R. McKeeh (Labour, WellingtonSouth) asked whefher the Tariff Com-mission had been consulted 'over theAustralian tariff. Ho advocated the.setting up of a permanent" tariff, board.He'did not think sufficient considerationhad been given.'to budding industries.

Mr. A. J. Stailworttiy" (Independent,Eden) pointed out thtft recently therehad been a diversion of trade from thoUnited Kingdom, to Australia, and hehoped that the Government "would watchthe position. It was a mistake for NewZealand to accept the present positionas inevitable.

_■'"■ ■■ ; ' -FRUITGROWING.

Mr. K. J. Holyoake (Government,Motueka) said that at one time hopgrowers in Motueka and Nelspn ;had en-joyed a good market, in Australia. Thematter of reopening the..Australianmarket was :nofcso pressing at the pre-sent time, ■ but he" regretted that, noaction had been taken in the matter.He was pleased that no great conces-sion had been granted tho Australiancanned fruit trade. ." Mr. J. A. Macpherson (Government,Oamaru) expressed dissatisfaction withthe manner in'which barley and-chaffhad been treated. "".

MI.C- A. Wilkinson (Independent,':Egmbnt) said that NewZealand was anexporting country, and a policy of highprotection was incompatible with thissituation. However he desired to-con-;wratulato the Governmenton completinga trade treaty with Australia. In sev-eral lines the Australian oxportcr wasgaining on the English exporter ou thoNew. Zealand market, and there "wasno doubt thnt the exchange rate was!responsible for much of this tradeswing.

Mr. W, A, Bodkin (Government,Central Otago) said that the canningindustry,was a suitable one for1 the:Do-minion,' as it' afforded a-market forperishable fruit. Tho fruit-growing in-dustry of the Bomiuioir was *in its' in;fancy as compared with Australia, andit was deserving1 of :every encourage-ment. ' . ,' ' MINISTER'S REPLY,, .

Replying ito various > points' raised-inthe debate, Mr. Coates.said that, thesubject of the duty on potatoes wasstill being discussed, but the bestarrangement they could make so far wasa reciprocal duty of £2 per ton. Inconnection with the importation of fruitand vegetables, New Zealand had toguard against the danger of infectionfrom the Mediterranean fly which wasprevalent in certain parts of the Com-monwealth. ~ Thp Agricultural' Depart-ment was acting wisely in not allowingcertain,varieties of fruit and vegetables

to come into the country if there was11 clangor of tho spread of the fly toNew Zealand. There was also another,jpoint which had to be considered.The United States of America wouldnot take fruit from a country whichwas importing fruit from a countrywhich was infected with Mediterranean.fly, and as tho Dominion was looking'for new markets it was necessary toconsider this point. > There was an.opening.in America for Now Zealandfruit, although he was not yet preparedto estimate the value of the market.On- the question of potatoes infectedwith scab, they had not yet been ableto reach an understanding, and the bestthing they could do in regard to onionswas to fix a tariff which was the sameboth ways. They had endeavoured to

obtain a reduction in the tariff on hops,but had, found the Tasmanian opposi-tion too strong. However, New Zealandhad made arrangements to export hersurplus and there was no danger of aslut for this season or the next.

Mr. Coatessaid that the tariff drawnup was as satisfactory as could be ex-pected in the circumstances. New Zea-land was definite on the point thatthere should be no swing of trade fromtho United Kingdom, and if there wasa tendency in this direction Australiawould have to limit her exports to theDominion. Tho Australian delegateshad recognised this point.

The resolutions were adopted and theBill embodyingthem was introduced by

Governor-General's Message. Mr. Coatesintimated that the second reading wouldbo taken next week.

CAR THEFTSPENALTY SUFFICIENT

RIGOROUS APPLICATION

OPINION OF MINISTER

While the existing law governing theunlawful conversion of motor-cars pre-scribes an adequately deterrent punish-ment, apparently a more rigorous ap-plication of the penalties provided isrequired.

This is the opinion of the Ministerof Justice (the Hon. J. G. Cobbe), asexpressed in tho House of Representa-tives yesterday, when replying to aquestion by Mr. J. Linklater (Govern-ment, Manawatu), who asked whethertho punishment was considered a suf-ficient check in view of the number ofconversions, the serious financial loss'entailed by them, and the grave men-afte to public safety caused by irrespon-sible persons who converted cars, totheir own use. He drew attentioirtothe injuries suffered by ConstableStewart, of Auckland.

"The' statistics do not show that tho■number of offences for wrongful con-version are increasing," the Ministerreplied. "Actually tho number dealtwith in 1932 was slightly less than in1930. The majority of the offendersjare young and irresponsible, who atthe time give little thought to the pen-alty. Although a maximum penalty ofthree months' imprisonment is pre-scribed under the Police Offences Actfor wrongful conversion, a Magistrate,under the Prevention of Crime Act,may impose a term of Borstal deten-tion up to three years on any personup to 23 years of age. In 45 instanceslast year this form of sentence wasimposed, the minimum in all cases being12 months."

Tho Minister added that in a largeproportion of cases the offenders weroconvicted and discharged, released onprobation, or placed under the care ofthe Child Welfare Department, and inonly 19 per cent, of tho total convic-tions was imprisonment ordered by thoCourts. It would appear that the ex-isting law provided an adequately de-terrent punishment, but apparentlywhat was required wa.s a more rigorousapplication of the penalties alreadyprescribed..,

"It should also be borne in mind,"Mr. Cobbq said, "that when theft inlaw can be established, a much heavierpenalty is prescribed under the CrimesAct, as also is the case where offenderscan be charged with other associatedoffences. For example, the person whodeliberately injured the constable inAuckland could be charged with as-sault causing actual bodily harm, forwhich the penalty is three years' hardlabour. In addition to this he couldhave been charged with resisting thepolice and reckless driving of the car."

"A SCANDALOUS THING"

Car thieving had become a veryserious matter, said Mr. E. A. Batt atthe annual meeting of the WellingtonAutomobile Club last evening. It wasa scandalous thing that the loss of pro-perty alone was regarded as practicallya minor offence. Heavier punishmentfor car thieves had been advocatedfor a long time but was difficult toachieve. . However, he had noticedthat the Government was going intothe matter with a view to doing some-thing along tho lines suggested, and hethought there was hope that some ac-tion would be taken that would stopcar thieving to some extent.

"FAIR GAME"

MOTORISTS AND NUMBERPLATES

What he described as extraordinaryfigures were quoted by Mr. E. A. Batt,chairman of the executive committee ofthe Wellington Automobile Club, at theannual meeting last evening, when theissue of number plates was under con-sideration.

Between 1924 and 1933 the registrationand licence fees collected amounted *o£2,835,378,he said, and the amount paidto the Post and Telegraph Departmentfor collection of the fees was £103,184.The profit made by the Department onnumber plates was JElOS^S^'so that theDepartment had received in all £211,088.

A voice: Too much.Mr. Batt: It is too much. A compari-

son between these figures and the coatof collecting the petrol tax give6an amaz-in» result. The petrol tax since 1928totalled? £5,189,000,and the amount paidto' the Customs Department for collectionis only £72,215.>We have placed ourviews on these matters before the Gov-ernment through the North Island MotorUnion, and we think we are being badly■stung' by the P. and T. Department.There is no question that it 19 a very finumoney-making concern, and the servicegiven is, I think, out ofall proportion. Ihemotorist today seems to be fair game ioi1everybody.

MARIAGEAGE

OBJECTION TO BILL

Objections to the provisions of theMarriage Amendment Bill were voicediv the Legislative Council yesterdayafternoon by the Hon. B. MeCalluni,who contended that the raising of themarriage age would increase the- num-ber of illegitimates.

When the Bill was in the Committeestage, Mr. McCallum called for a divi-sion on the clause empowering women!to officiate as ministers at marriage ser-vices. He sa,id that the women did notdesiro the change, and one distinguishedwoman had told him that many womenwould not regard themselves as married ■,if the ceremony was performed by awoman minister.

The clause was upheld by 10 votes to3, the Hons. C. J. Carrington and W.11. Mclntyrc voting with Mr. McCal-lum. i ■'

On the third reading Mr. McCallumsaid that he was opposed to the rais-ing of: the marriage age, as in his opin-ion the new law would increase thenumber of illegitimate children. Hehad been one of those who had sup-ported the legislation which had beenpassed years ago giving legitimacy tochildren whose parents had subsequent-ly married, aiul he did not want to sup-port a Bill which would increase thenumber of illegitimates.

The Bill was read a third time andpassed.

ARMISTICE DAY SERVICE

The Armistice Day service of the Wel-lington Returned Soldiers' Association willbe conducted on similar lines this year aslast year's service. The service will takeplace in the Town Hall and will be broad-cast by 2YA. The Mayor (Mr. T. C. A.Hislop) will preside.

At the meeting of the executive of theassociation last night the order of theservice was fixed as follows:—10.30-10.40,organselections;10.40,"0 God Our Help";10.44, Ecclesiastieus,44:1-15. Bey. N.

AUTOMOBILE CLUB

ANNUAL MEETING

ABSENCE OF DISCORDThe absence of contentious matter on

the order paper, and the fact that therewas no election for positions on thegeneral committee, probably accountedfor the comparatively small attendanceat the twenty-eighth annual meeting ofthe Wellington Automobile Club, whichwas held in the Concert Chamber of theTown Hall last evening. Sir AlexanderRoberts (president) was in the chair,and, including members of the com-mittee, thcro were just over eighty per-sons present.

In the course of his address Sir Alex-ander Roberts touched on a number ofsubjects, including tho necessity forsome uniform action in regard to theadjustment of headlights. He expressedthe opinion that the present system oftraffic control lights in Wellington wasunsuitable, and that it would bo moveefficient to have the eleetromatie sys-tem installed, with a view to obviatinglong and unnecessarydelays. Speakingof tho proposed new exit from the cityvia tho Thorndon reclamation, he saidit would be a reversion to prehistoricconditions not to have a ramp insteadof a level crossing. The proposal toopen up the Western Hutt Road and(create a main by-pass for long-distancetraffic in the Hutt Valley was to becommended and would be very bene-ficial When it was possible of accom-plishment. Sir Alexander also con-gratulated theclub on its sound financesand organisation-and eulogised servicesgiven by the executive committee andthe club's officers.It was pleasing to note that the mem-

bership had been maintained, said Mr.E. A. Batt, chairman of the executivecommittee. The year had been prob-ably-the most difficultin the club's his-tory, and the difficulties had been metonly by very careful budgeting. Inconnection with the patrol service, ex-periments wero being made with radiosets suitable for installation on eachpatrol vehicle with a view to facilitat-ing messagesfrom headquarters whenassistance on the road was required bymotorists.

MOTOR CAMP SITE.On tho subject of a motor camp site

in Wellington, Mr. Batt said it was aremarkable thing that Wellington wasthe only centre without a camp site,and it was a reflection on the city thatafter so many years the City Councilhad done nothing to provide a sitosufficiently suitable and attractive tobring motorists from other parts. Thesite provided some years ago at Karorihad proved most unsuitable, and sincethen the club had been negotiating withtho council and had nearly succeededin getting a piece of land at Moa Point,Lyall Bay, which had now been in-cluded in the aerodrome. The councilseemed to think that the club shouldpay for everything, and failed to rea-lise that the site would be used almost,entirely by visiting motorists. An areaon the Lyall Bay Reserve had beenoffered to the club, and the improve-ments' were estimated to cost £068,but no provision had been made by thecouncil for the expenditure. It wastime that the council got down to sanethinking on the modern idea'of campsites. .

Sir Alexander Roberts was unani-mouslyre-elected president.. Four nominations having been re-ceived for the four vacancies on thecommittee, no election was necessary.The members appointed were Messrs.X H. do J. Clcre, A. J. Curtis, G. D.Hamilton, and A. J. Toogood;

Messrs. Watkins, Hull, Wheeler, andJohnston wero appointed auditors.

An1 honorarium similar tn that of lastyear was voted to Mr. B^tt in recogni-

tion of his services. ' \Appreciative reference was made to jtho work of tho secretary (Mr. W. A.Sutherland) and his staff. j

PETONE COURT

Cases in the Petone Court yesterdaywere dealt with by Mr. J. S. Barton, fe.M.

For not having a driver's licence, JohnAkel was convicted and fined 10s.

William Hislop was charged with dan-gerously driving a motor-cycle on theHutt Road,and with not having a driver alicence. He pleaded' guilty to both.

Senior-Sergeant C,. B. Koach said that at7.50 a.m. on September 17 a.motor-cycledriven by the defendant went round thecorner of Jackson Street and the HuttRoad outside a railway bus, and hit acar travelling in the opposite direction.The defendantand another youth on thepillion seat of the motor-cycle were in-jured and taken to hospital, and bothvehicles were damaged.

The Magistrate said that the defendanthad been sufficiently punished already, ason the evidence it seemed as if he couldhave a claim against him for damage tothe other car. On the charge of danger-ous driving, the defendantwas convictedand ordered to pay costs, and lie was de-clared incompetent to hold a driver'sliepnee for a year. On the other chargehe was convicted and discharged.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

EARNINGS OF JOCKEYSKEITH VOITRE TOPS LIST

1. ■- . x -! .Xut only was tlieie X.uS'2oin grossstakestv be distributed amongownei'S at the ro

Iccnt AVellington Meeting, but a sum. ofa])pvosiraately £850 had to be found byowners for payment of riding lees, tojoi-kc.vs. In the ease of both owners and: jookc'ys the net collection was considerablyi less than the grosssum, due to .levies andvarious items of taxation, . ■,

j\tuch of the fees to jockeys, of course,came from owners',winnings, but morethan half liad to bo provided by owners ofjlosing horses. It will therefore'beobservedI that the racing of horses is by,no meansa. cheap pastime, with nearly £300havingto be get aside each day of an importantmetropolitan meeting' in1 payment: for; theriding of horses Alone. ' " ' ■ :; ."" ; 'Keith Voitre, ivitli ten -wins in. twentymounts, came out clear on ,top..among thejockeys with earnings amounting to £93

'lli.s gross,probably reduced to about £87i net after various deductions had been'made. A: H. Eastwood,also with nearly|n'full book'on the flat, won £67 gross..These two hoiscmen hud,much the mostsuccessfulinnings at the meeting.

The winnings over £30, also the earn-ings of the leading hurdles horsemen,aregiven as follows, with the net earningsapproximated:—

AY. Bowden's only two rides were onHenry of Navarre in the two hurdles,andhe brought home a winner each time. H.N. AViggins, S. Wilson, B. 11. Morris,W. J. Broughton, and L. G. Morris failedto steer a winner, but they had veryfull books.

The payment of jockeys is by a set scaleunder rule 176 of the New Zealand Rulesof Kacing, and because it may not begenerally known it is given, as follows:—

In tho absence of any special asreementproviding for' larger remuneration, .the, feespayable to jockeys, in relation' to the. vulva otthe money, and prize,payable to the owner,.shall°'~

SEA FOX LOOKS GOOD

(Special from "Limited,") ." >HAWERA> October 25. [:',

The.racing atWaverley on Monday was-interesting, and the iovin aevealed is like-ly to have'!a bearing on immediate-.meet-./ings. The stablcmates,Sea ■"Fos ' -and..Prince Reno, are almost surd to*go onmi-::■proving^' and the two handicap winners,All Humbug nnd iKnollmere,' do not'yetlook at the ■end of'their tether.' .'A pleas-,ingrettim.to:form:iwas shown by"Constant;Sun,/who earlierlpromised to1reaoa good.class?.''■ ■■■'.

in .{ho"''Hack Hmdles the■ Waverley...owned;and twined- Count Lendrofi1/scoreda decisive and impressive win, leading allthe way and" giving.'a fxne exhibition ofjumping. Since-;winning'at the Egmont-Wanganui Hunt Meetinglast month CountLcndroff has made great improvement,and ho is likely to be heard i'rpm againin the jumpingbusiness in more pretenti-ous company. In the same rice Revi-sion jumped very ibadly. 'i

The Stratford-trained three-year-old SeaFox, by Hunting. Song from Seatown'sdam, Seasprite, finished on- gwnely.nar-rowly to win the Morton Maiden fromTailoru and Silk- Sox, His .'trainer (J.Butler) has him in .fine condition for fut-ure engagements, and he i» onewhosho'uldamplyreward those who follow hircareer.

Knollmere, a very hot favourite,, wasnever troubled, in winning-the' Brewer

[Handicap, for after leading.'all the wayjlie came home with his ears.pricked, three! lengths clear of .anything else,v;lt- is.I doubtful if he has ever been better, thanat present. In this race Green Liniitjt

A win came owner-trainer But-ler's way in> the Wilson Highwcight Haij-.dicap. with ;.the Royal "Divorce geldingPrince Reno, who'led practically all theway,to ,win by two lengths from Arikiteaand Round Table. The last-named,'whais.a brother to High Falutin';' finished opremarkably," well. The favourite,.: LaC'fowi)i .failed to-sec out the distance afterbeing well place.d throughout. ,

In. a slow-rim race- in, the Wavcrley(.'up, All.Humbug waited on.Havering,Beryl L'atour, nnd Midian till half a mileout, their vim easily to the lead and woncomfortably, .by .half. a. length. Mjdiairc.-iine at lilin in the straight, but..the fav-ourite was- alwMys:sate enough for the' do-cision. ■ The winner emphiisised his .use-fulness, and-is due'for further successes.

" "■, ■The' final event, the Jackson;HackStaked,was won all the .wayhjf Arastnr,who never gave anything else a. chance,winning.by two, lengths. Prince Reiio,who,was produced a second,time to fin-ish eccond,requires, a rather "longer- tripthan five "fiirlongßj an,dhit effort pointedto his forwardness, Arastar. was alsohaying- his second etart> having run un-placed caiiieijjiu the race, won by Prince"Reno.'

OUT OF THE RANKSNOVICE'S QUICK ASCENT

Within a fortnight SomeShamblemovedfrom the last line of the rank and fileof racehorses into, the rarefied atmospherebreathed -by Cup winners. It was cHy lastSaturday week that ho opened his win-ning account at Washdyke, and then atKangiora on Monday he added the Kangi-oru Cup to his bag, albeit tlie latter racewas confinedto hacks."

Some Shamble has nbt.had.muuh'.ruciiig,apparently the view being taken that likemost of his breed he required age. Lastseason us .a three-year-old he coutcstcdseven events, for... three second and qn.e.third placings, and. this season has hud.three outings, for. two wins. A .weakconstitution has restricted his activitiesto date,but bow'bo has,apparently over-come this, as Well as put ou the requisiteage. A profitable career seems to be in"front of him.. ' "Most of the stock df Shambles arebrown, but SomeShambleis ablack geld-ing, his sire and dam themselves beingbrowiiK. ! His dam is the : Quin Abbeymarc SomeAbbey, who was bred in thenorth, by Mr. R. Hannon and was sc-ldas d four-year-old to go to the West Coast,where she did all her racing, except forn few final starts beforegoing to the studat seven years. Some Abbey had a verysuccessful innings.among the West Coastsmalls, and she must have won near adozen races for Mr. A. J. Willmott. Thelate Mr. F. P. Claridge, veteran Riccartontrainer, then bought her, but in Canter-bury companyshe was of little apparentworth, so Mr. Claridge sent her to thestud in 1928. Her first foal is SomeShamble, who is owned by Mr.1 J. D.Bundy, one of Mr. Claridge's patrons andnow a patron of Mr. Claridge's successor,S. Barr.

CUPHORSESINTRIAL■ Two proved 2Cew Zealand Cup eandi-dutes, Polydora and Minervol. were assoêiuted in a seven-fui'long trial at Kiccar-ton on Tuesday, and both acquitted them-selves well,. though the mare, pleased de-cidedly the more. ;: The gallop was on the trial, grass,whichwas in good order, and Arrow Kose wastaken to the half-mile post to assist theCud*horses -home.

INCREASEINSTAKESTHE MANAWATU MEETING'An increase of £130 in stakes is offered

by the Manuwatu Hating Club for theSummerMeeting at Awapuni on Becera-;ber 2(i, 27,and 29,the sum to be distri-buted-totalling £3410. The programmeofevents, is identical with last year's, !

The principal item,' to-be decided onthe first day, is the Minawatu Cup, 1%miles, which again carries a stake oi£400. Most of the other events on thisday have small increases ranging' from£5 to £25 in the stakes offered.

On tlie second day the President's'Handicap, *».rrying! £250, or £20 morethan last year, is -to be run over VA miles.There are small increases in the.offeringfor most.of the other events. The orderhas been slightly. ohunged to make theopen sprint the sixth race instead of thela.st race, with the Terrace Hack Handi-cap,-7 .furlongs, now closing the day's card.On the final clay the Liverpool Handicap,9 furlongs., carries the,samio stake; (£200)iis!'ta'st'year, and the order of thV.events|

...has been altered to make the.open" spriiit!the seventh'raco instead of'tlie last,.witha hack -seven .(Christmas-Hack Handicap)ugniu closing the card. -. ■■■■■■,■"'■ |

TURF NEWS IN BRIEF■j-Tlio "'.Stewards'. .Handicap candidateLordlyi.Knight went south last night toKiceaifon. H. Ciitts andP. T. Hoganaboreturned home with their teams.' "

..Shatter's withdrawal from the'AkaroaHandicap at Motukarara next Saturdaywill hardly enhearteu those who havefancied him for the New Zealand Cup.

Cup horses' who will have a final runat the Banks Peninsula Meeting at Motu-karara are -Polydora, Minerval, Kamo,Jaloux (Akaroa Handicap}, and Chryso-logy and Southdown (LeBon's Handicap).

At Wangantii, Otaki, and TxenthamBrambletorn went a better race-on thefirst day than he did on the second,sothat his second-day failures need not un-duly concern those who have committedthemselves to him in the New ZealandCup. ■ ".<'.■

Croupier is another, horse who has ap-Ipeared a much better proposition firsttime up, at least he has since his longspell from racing, so that if he is to winaiiy race at the Cup Meetingit will prob-ably have to be the Stewards'.

On weights Golden 'Wings should morethan hold his own with his Treuthamopponents in the Stewards' Handicap thisyear, for he.will be jn receipt of weightfrom most of those he beat last week.Still the ■ unexpected is always liable tohappen, and there are some smart ones lowdown in the handicap.

Later report from Australia,states thatMr,.-'J. J. O'Hara, who was. disqualifiedfor twelve months .over- they,running ofMirador at Perth on October.14,;,appealedto the AViA.T.C. committee,anß althoughthe appeal was dismissed,, the sentencewas reduced to six months.' iv . ■ "'

MONETARY CONTROLTHE CENTRAL" BANK

SECOND READING DEBATE

FUNCTIONS OF STATE

The question as to -whether the Statoshould have the dominating voice in thecontrol of the proposed CentralBank wasagain discussed in the House of Repre-sentatives last evening when the secondreading debate on the Central Reserve"Bank of New Zealand Bill was con-tinued. Speakers from both sides ofthe House took part in the discussion,but for the most part they were con-fined tf}. the back benches.

The Ecv. C. Carr (Labour, Tiniaru)said, today's troubles wore caused bytreating moneyas a commodity, whereasit should have no intrinsic value. Couldit be denied that New Zealand moneywould not bo kept step by step withBritish money? Every penny in tholife of the community began its lifein the control of the banks.

NEED FOB REFORM.The Hon. A. D. McLeod (Government,

Wairarapa) said that in the past thetrading banks had found the moneythat was necessary to finance the Gov-ernment, but the banks did it on theirown terms. The banks dictated thoprice at which they would sec the Gov-ernment through. For twenty yearslie had denied the charge that thepolicy of tho Government was dictatedby the trading banks, but he regrettedthat ho could no longer challenge thatstatement. Ho would have.had extreme-difficulty in continuing his support ofthe Government which did not take anfiarly opportunity of righting thatposition. In handing over the exportcredits of tho country to the com-mercial banks, the Government gavethe banks tho right to say what shouldTie imported and what should not beimported. That was not the responsi-bility of the banks but of the Govern-ment. The establishment of a CentralBank would mean that thetrading bankswould bo: deprived of their power ofnictating the Government's policy, andit was a step in tho right directionbecause of that. Labour today wasin apeculiar position. It was standingfour-squaro behind the trading banks,which were opposed to the establish-ment of the Central Bank. He was notsuggesting that they wore trying toassist, the trading banks,but they werotaking up their present attitude forpolitical purposes. Labour was being.supported in that attitude by certainIndependent members on tho cross-benches* who, he was afraid, had beenled astray. Mr: MeLeod attacked theeditor of '"Farming First," who, he said,had indulged in dangerousneurotics, andhad done more to harm the farmer'sposition than anybody else in New Zea-land. The Labour Party's ideas on thomonetary problem wore revolutionary,and he was satisfied the British people■were not ready to accept anything likoThat. The Opposition was making useof tho Bill in order to endeavour toput the Government out of office, andwas making no real effort to improvetho measure. ■ ,"

Mr H. G. R. Mason (Labour, Auek-laud-'Suburbs) said Mr. McLeod had■justified the Labour Party's claim thatilie trading banks had dictated thepolicy of the Government. Tho youngpeople of New Zealand wero not going

to stand for tho present .system, whichallowed tho banks to pay large divi-dends while the rest of the peoplesuffered misery and want. They, werenot going to bo satisfied with evolution.The bank would try to relate its.urrency to gold or other precious metaland not to the quantity oi goods'and services available. Consequentlynothing would be done to stabilise themice of goods and services m NewZealand. The ban placed on membersof Parliament becomingmembers oi tho

directorate of tho bank was a slighton Parliament, and should be removedfrom the Bill. The Bill simply con-firmed and buttressed the present bank-ing system and linked it more closelywith the Bank of England, thedeflationary policy of which had proved

»" disastrous. . It. offered no ray ofhope, and it failed to provide the moneyenablingthe people to buy and sell theproducts of their labour.

CONTROLLING VOICE.Mr A E. Jull (Government, Wai-

rawa) said that the movement towardscentral banking had been going on forsome years,and its introduction to NewZealand was no surprise. The CanadianGovernment was considering the matterat the present time. He thought thatthe Government might have consideredliving the Bank of New Zealand thepowers of a Central Bank, as had beendone in Australia, but apparently theGovernment had decided to set np aseparate institution after having accessto the fullest information. It wasessential that a Central Bank shouldwork in tho closest co-operation withIho Government, and Mr. R. t».Hawtrcy,an eminent financial authority,had advocated a State-controlled in-

stitution. There was a number ofcentral banks over which tho State haddominatingcontrol. For forty years theNew Zealand Government had had the

right to appoint the majority of thedirectors of the Bank of New Zealand,and in view of the difficulties whichmight accrue in connection with theproposed Central Bank, the Governmentihould appoint tho majority of itsdirectors also. Because a person hadshares in tho Central Bank, it did notmean to say that ho had had conferredupon him heaven-sent powers for thoappointment of a bank director. Thegovernor should also be appointed by

Captain H. U. Rushworth (CountryParty Bay of Islands) said that hehad not heard of any valid reason fortho Central Bank. Ho had heard ofnobody but 'tho Government who naft

' urged the necessity of the bank.The debate-was adjourned.

ROWING

VENUE OF EIGHTS CONTEST(By Telegraph.)

(Special to the "Evening Post.")

DUNEDIN, This Day. -'"The money could bo better spent inimproving rowing in New Zealand,"was the comment of a delegate at a"meeting of the Otago Rowing Associa-tion when referring to the proposedinvitation of an eight from Australiato tour the Dominion.

Another delegate said it was the dutyof the New Zealand Association tofinance a tour out of the £2000.whichit boasted of having to its credit, in-stead of calling for assistance fromthe associations.

It was decided not to guarantee tnoexpenses of the tour until the venue of.the next interprovincial eights cham-pionship has been settled.

Otago is applying for the eights -tohe held at Dunedin on March 24.

It was decided to oppose remits forthe eights to be centralised at Welling-ton and for the championship regatta»o be held alternately at Picton andWellington. It was decided to sup-port Auckland's claim for tho next.jba-mpionslup regatta.

A TEST CASETAXIS AND RACE DAY,

"TROTS" MARKED ON WINDOW

Described as: the first cases of theirkind to :be: brought to the Court ivthe Wellington .Province, a number, oftaxi-drivers appeared in the PetonoCourt yesterday before Mr. J. S. Bar-ton, S.M., on charges oi! using theirmotor vehicles without certificates offitness. In all cases the taxis had thoword "Trots" on tho windows, and theoccasion was the first and second daysof the recent trotting meeting- at HutfcPark. The Magistrate entered convic-tions in* all but two cases. "In the first case there was much dis-cussion about tho Transport LicensingAct, 1931. Mr.D. M. Diekson appearedfor CharlesManning a taxi-driver. Mr.Barton said that, seeing this was a testcase, he would impose a nominal penalty;of ss, besides entering a conviction*Leave to appeal wasfixed at £7 75,.. "The other taxi-drivers were notrepre«sented by , counsel. Oswald GralianVJara'es Francis McMnllen, and Charlfes.Gordon Edwick were each' 'convictedand fined ' ss, and the < cases; {againstWalter Frederick Jones and. -Patrick--.1Cooney were dismissed. \

With regard to the first case—the"statements beingapplicable to th« othercases also—tho traffic inspector for.tho'Main HighwaysBoard, J.E. AinsWort^said that the information was laid iiti-der the Transport Licensing Act, 1931,----and aroseout of tho-defendant runninga taxi-cab to 'the'" Hutt Trotting -ParJton a recent trotting meeting, display-ing the word "Trots" whitewashed pitthe windows. Tho board submittedthat by displaying the word "Trots"whitewashed on the windows, the'taxi-cab came within the definition of a pas-senger-service vehicle in that'it'failedto comply with exemptions, and it for-feited its exemption from obtaining"*passenger-service licence as a contractvehicle under section 21, as the word -"Trots" constituted an advertisementfor the hiring of the vehicle to a des-tination directly, or ,indirectly ;named. .It was furthermore submitted that it >was immaterial whether separate fares ■■

were charged or not, as the vehicle wasoperated on a defined route, and thedriver advertised his willingness tocontract for the hire of. the vehicle.The taxi-cabs operated at a decided ad» -"vantage on occasions such. as.the onein question, because they were in direct'competition with the omnibuses whichwere specially licensed for theoccasion,and had to pay very heavy licence feesand undergo a rigidinspection to makethem safe for the carriage of passen-gers. "Passenger-service vehicle" meanta motor-vehicle used for hire orrewardfor the carriage of passengerswith orwithout goods, and included a tracklesstrolly omnibus, but did not include amotor vehicle which (a) was'designed,for the carriage of persons not exceed-ing eight in number, including thedriver, and (b) was available for hireto any member of the public on'termswhich did not require expressly or iin-pliedly the payment of separate faresby each. "passenger, and (c) was usedfor such purpose otherwise than on de-fined routes.

Mr. Barton held that the word"Trots" define! the route! ', '.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT

DISPUTE OVER COWS

MAORI'S CHIVALRY

A dispute over cows gave ii§e to ";sase iv the Petone Court yesterday,vhen Mrs. C. K. Stewart was chargedwith assaulting Hapi Love, a.Maori"esident of Korokoro. Mr. J. S.Barton,]3.M.,was on the Bench. *Mr. S. W. Fitzherbert appeared for";ho plaintiff, and Mr. A- M. Cousins:or the defendant.In his evidence, Mr. Love said on

Dctober 7 he was walking along tha■aihvay line when, he-noticed thede-fendant forcing hor:cows over a fenca>nto the road. He had spoken to- herjefore about having cows- on-his-gio-"?erty, and this time he asked,her*when,ihe was going to remove her cattle.3he accused him of;being a liar,1 and"'called him all the beautiful language"n the English dictionary." He shooed.;hecattle away, and she hit him on thelido of the face and threw shingle atlim. Onepiece1 hit him in the eye* and.ie had to receive medical attention-'Bfotold her that if she was a man. hosrould throw her over the bank.

Mrs. Rebecca Love said that when,ler husband came home one side ;oflis face was red and one eye closed.Eis eye did heal until some time after-wards.Part of Mrs. Stewart's evidence dealt

frith wandering stock that had got on.;o the plaintiff's land, which she saidnaa not properly fenced. She said that;he plaintiff threw stones at her cows,md when she stood in front of him»vhlle he was doing this he pushed hermt of the way, whereupon she strucklim. Before this, some of the shingle;hrown by the plaintiff struck her, andshe then threw stones: at him..

AN UNFORTUNATE CASE. ,Mr. Cousins said that the case was

m unfortunate one, as it was a privatelispute and' should never have beenbrought before the Court. His clientnras a respectable married woman, wholad never previously been before the3ourt, and the fact of being chargedivas sufficient punishment for her.htttolack'of control. Ho asked for the\«ase>;obe dismissed. .-'"■: . ." Mr. Barton agreed .that vthcicase wasin.unfortunate one. There h.ad J>eeuaamusual degree of honesty and^ candid-.less on the part of both people con-■arned in the dispute, and they^had notlesitated to tell the truth, even whe*t contained points against them. Therewas evidence of assault, and he_ couldnot dismiss it as being trivial or justifi-able. The Maoris weroa chivalrous an*gentlemanly race, and Mr. Love ha*Showed by his evidence that he was agentlemanlyrepresentativeof the race*'o Mr. Barton suggested that perhap»now that the case was heard, Mr. Lovart'ould agree to let it go at that.

After consulting with Mr. Fitsher.Bert Mr. Love agreed to withdraw tn«information on the condition .that ex-penses were paid by the defendant,and this was agreed to.

LIKE TRADES WITH LIKE

As the Minister of Customs pointedout it is difficult to frame a recipro-cal trade agreement which will besatisfactory to all parties when thecountries concerned have similar con-ditions and produce similar products.Australia and New Zealand are. inthis position, and they cannot ar-range their trade in a neat dove-tailing way. Even when the balanceof advantage in production is withone country or the other it is not sodecided that a claim to offset it bya tariff is altogether absurd. Forexample, New Zealand is a betterdairying country but not so muchbetter that Australian farmers see nohope of keeping our butter out. Wecannot grow pineapples in competi-tion with Queensland, but, we thinkwe can grow citrusfruits and we aretrying to doso, with the aid ofavduty.The tradeagreement has not removedthe competition in these lines wherethe margin of natural superiority isonewhich the producers consider canbe coveredby the tariff; but in somerespects the trade has been madeeasier. New Zealand will gain inlower duties on timber, fish, andonions in particular. But potatoesare stillkept out by embargo, thoughMr. Coates states this is still the sub-ject of discussion.

The full effect of the agreementcannot be assessed on a. first survey.Indeed, it may be a year or twobefore we can judge how it willwork out. But there seems to bereasonable ground for Mr, Cpates'sexpectation that a more even balanceof trade will result, This is themost that can be hoped for, sincethe greaterrange ofAustralian jhanu*

facturin?? industry places the Com-monwealth in a superior position asseller. Notwithstanding this, it isinteresting to note that, so far asprimary .products alone are con-cerned, New Zealand in the last sixyears has sold more, to the value ofalmost two and a half millions thanshe has bought. This period, ofcourse, includes the year 1927, whenour butter sales were so good thatAustralia put a decisivestop to them.Moreover, the nearer approach to aneven balance of trade has beenbrought about in recent years, not byan increase in New Zealand exports'but by a decrease in total trade. Forexample, the average balance infavour of Australia was reducedfrom £2,07^000 for 1923-27 to£1,457,000for 1928-32; but the ave-rage total trade fell over the same-periods from £7,144,000 to j£4,621,000,This suggests that the]two countries, finding it difficult toagree on the basis, of trade, weregradually taking less and less ofeach other's goods. This cannot beregarded except with regret-^unlessNew Zealand's buying is transferredto the United. Kingdom-*for it in-volve! failure to use the advantagesof propinquity, such m lower ship-ping costs, and speed in fillingorders. If we/can buy or sell in thenext street it is always better thantrading in a distant town. The newtrade agreement may knock some ofthe rough edges,off existing trade dif-ferences and promote the relationshipwhich Governments in both countriesagree to be highly desirable, thoughthey cannot agree fully on how it[should be brought about.

THE BULWARKS OF LIBERTY

"War," said Lord Justice Scruttonin 1918, "cannot be carried onaccording to the principles of MagnaCarta." The need for secret delibera-tion and rapid action to meet thedemands of circumstances that werechanging every day compelled eventhe most democratic; nations to sus-pend the normal guarantees of con-stitutional liberty in order that aconcentration of power in the handsof the Executive should enable it tomeet the enemy on equal terms. Itwas a reaction under the pressureof war from democracy to dictator-ship, from the Greek ideal of free-dom to the Roman ideal of thesafety of the State,for "democracy"is the Greek word for government bythe people and "dictator" was thename givenby the ancient Romans tothe strong man whom in a time ofemergency they were accustomed toarm with arbitrary power. "lest theRepublic should suffer injury." Thatthe war which was to end war andmake the world safe for democracyhas not succeeded in either of thoseobjects is indicated by the widespread of what purport to be per-manent dictatorships, which is oneof the most striking symptoms of thepost-war world. Another indicationis the weakening of the safeguardsof freedom in countries which havenot renounced their faith in demo-cracy and have failed in largemeasure to realise the danger of thesteadily-widening gap between theirtheory and their practice.

In the United States, where therelatively mild pressure of the Warminimised these tendencies at thetime, the intense pressure of the eco*nomio war has since given them aunique force. The President has,partly by his own authority andpartly by that of Congress, beenpromoted to a sort of constitutionaldictatorship, and for more thanthree months he has been using hisimmense powers to effect an indus-trial and social revolution, of whichhe is no more able than anybodyelse to predict the outcome. Butanother disturbing feature of hisgreat experiment is the fact, as lieis working under a written Constitu-tion, of which the Supreme Court ofthe United States is the interpreter,that the validity of his authority issubject toreview by that Court. If theCourt decides that an emergency hagnot arisen to justify what wouldotherwise be an unconstitutionalpro*cedure, then not even the Acts ofCongress under which the Presidenthas been working will stand, and pre-sumably every single thing that he,has done in his National Recoveryadministration will be retrospec-tively invalidated. As a check on thevagaries of Congress the power of theCourt to prevent its legislation fromviolating the terms of the- Constitu-tion has often been of invaluableservice to the nation, hut the retro-spective operation of a decisionwhich may nullify the chief legisla-tive and administrative labours ofseveral months is appalling to con-template. Let us hope that the Ad-ministration is so sure of its groundthat it sees no need to accelerate thenormally slow pace of Americanjustice.

This glaring exampleof the dangerof a written Constitution may wellincrease the thankfulness of GreatBritain and New Zealandfor the factthat, not being members of a FederalUnion, they are exempt from this in-convenience. The haste of a legallyomnipotent Parliament is obviouslya serious matter, but in a Britishcommunity, at any rate, it seems tobe a preferable risk to the delay and.the uncertainty and the frictionarising from doubts as to the scopeof a Parliament's powers. Even ina unitary State,however, the Court?have supremely important functionsto perform as bulwarks of popularrights and personal liberty, Threesyears before the War Lord JusticeFarwell went so far as to. say that"the Courts are the only defence ofthe liberty of the subject against de-partmental aggression." During theWar the inevitable encroachmentsofthe Executive to whicli we have re*ferred left their mark upon theStatute Book, and in New Zealand,as in the Mother Country, much ofdie legislation thus marked still sur-

vives some fifteen years after theArmistice and is still used. Perhapsa still more dangerous survival isthat of the war-mind, which inducesMinisters to continue the free use andthe practice of legislation by Regu-lation and _by Order in Council andeven to enlarge its scope.

A remarkableexample of the per- 'sistence of this war psychology was 'presented towards the close of last \session. Our gentle and Jevel-headed ]Prime Minister is one of the last men 'whom anybody would suspect under 'ordinary conditions of a desire to 'play the tyrant. But he was fired "with ari ambition to play that part ]by the obstructive opposition offered ]to the Sales Tax Bill. On the groundthat obstruction is. "completely put 'of tune with modern Parliamentary 'practice," the official guardian of the ]dignity of Parliament proposed notto amend the Standing Orders so asto enable it to meet this blow at its 'authority, but to weaken that[authority still further by reserving ■for an Order in Council an essential 'part of what should have been done"by the Bill Ina happy sally thelate Mr. Holland accused the Prime JMinister of aspiring to the shorta and 'the blwk shirt of a new Mussolini,'and nothing more wag heard of tbU 'flagrant attempt of the Executive toenlarge its powers at the expense ofthe Legislature.

But in one form or another thissteady extension of the powers ofthe Governmentstill persists. Parlia-ment under existing conditions seemslittle likely to check it, and the de-pression diverts the attention of thepublic to more urgent problems. Butwe have had two welcome remindersduring the last few months that the:Court? pf New Zealand are just asready to protect popular libertiesand privileges as those of GreatBritain when they are given thechance. On June 15 the Court ofAppeal in a unanimous judgment de-clared certain film regulations to beinvalid on the double ground thatthey were repugnant to the Cine-matograph Films Act and ultra viresof the Board pf Trade Act—thatmost tyrannous of all the legisla-tive survivals of the War. On Fridaylast another unanimous decision bythe same Court declared Clause 55of the Dairy Regulations to be ultravires. No technical grounds butthe broad issue? pf the personalliberty of the subject and his free-dom in the exerciseof a lawful tradeor business were the basis of bothdecisions. The public are deeply in-debted to the Judges for this proofthat when other safeguards havefailed liberty has still stihie solidbulwarks against the growingtyranny of the Executive.

FLIGHT FROM CHEAPNESS

Emphasis is placed on the anti-import side of the American recoveryplan by a Washington cablegramwhich slates that, by anew Executiveorder, the N.R.A. administration isempowered to investigate "com-plaints against cheap foreign im-ports," It is added that, if Americanindustries appear to be prejudiciallyaffected by imports, the administra-tion has at its command "embargoes,quotas, and higher tariffs." Appar-ently a fallen dollar, penalising im-ports and supposed to help exports,is an unconsidered trifle. Contrastthis attitude with Japan'sdemand formarkets. A London cablegram statesthat Japanese bathing costumes areoffering in Britain at 2-Jd each.What will the Americans say if theyfind that on their beaches they havenothing between them and the worldsave less, "than three penn'orth ofJapanese material? It would seemthat the United States's recovery andJapan's salvation by. exports canhardly be reconciled. Itwillbe hardenough to find a point of balancebetween Japan'a trade drive andmoderate-tariffed Britain, even with-out the tangle of N.H.A.

The grave danger of cyclists beingrun down by motor-cars in the Hatai-tai traffic tunnel was stressed by sev-eral speakers at the annual meeting ofthq Wellington Automobile Club lastevening. It was suggested that eithercyclists should not be allowed to usethe roadway in the tunnel or that flood-lighting should be employed and thetunnel walls covered with whiteenamel, Mr, E. A.

In replyto a question by the Magistrate (Mr.3". S. Barton, S.M.) as to how recognis-able tho sketch was, the driver said heused to bo a magazine illustrator. How-ever, the driver admitted having hadtho word ''Trots" on tho window ofthe taxi in Wellington, a^d thenrubbing it out.

RECOVERY ACT

NOT APPLICABLE HERE

WAGES AND PRICES

One section of the auuual report oftho New Zealand Employers' Federa-tion, presented at the conference to-day, deals with the American NationalRecovery Act. The report holcls out nohope that similar measures would belikely to succeed in New Zealand.

Two outstanding features of thoiAmerican experiment are: (1) The com-pulsory reduction of working hours withthe object of absorbing uioie workersin industry, and (2) tho stimulation ofproduction in anticipation of increaseddemand.

As to tho first, it does not appearthat the aggregateman hours worked mindustrywill be decreased, but that theidea, is to spread the available workover a greater number of persons,states the report, Tho wages so farfixed under the codes,are about 60s perweek (on par exchange),an exceedinglylow rate, in fact so low by comparisonwith tho high rates formerly so muchadvertised in the United States as toshow very dearly into what a desper-ate condition American industry hadfallen.

As to the increased production in ad'vanee of the demand there is alreadyan outcry for currency inflation tosecure its consumption.

RISING PRICES.In June President Roosevelt urged

that price increases should bo deferredas long as possible, but already thePress messagestold of increased pricesfor everything except farm products,and of costs being raised against theprimary producers.

In tho National Plan the exporttrade seemed to have been ignored en-tirely, probably because while the ex-ports of the United States' novoramounted jo a largo proportion of herproduction the volume of exports attho tfimc of the passing of the NationalRecovery Act had shrunk so much asto bo insignificant by comparison withthe possibilities of increased internaldemaiid.

As it was, one country, .France, ap-parently feared a future dumping ofAmerican surplus goods produced undertho stimulus of thq National ReqoveryAct and raised her tariffwall in antici-pation. What the end of tho greatAmerican experiment would be no one,particularly at this distance, could say.The immediate effect appeared to havebeen to "render worse off than beforeevoryono whowas in employmentwhenthe new Act came into force by reduc-ing his wages and increasing his costs,but to, provide some employment forlargo numbers who prior to tho passingof tho Act wero incapable of findingemployment.

The President frankly admitted tlieplan to be an experiment, but, hestated, if it failed he would tryanothermethod, and would keep on experiment-ing until success, was attained. The

world must bo watching the ex-periment with tho keenest desiro to seeit succeed, for if it did tho worldwould benefit. If it should fail allnations would feel the repercussionsmore or less.NEW ZEALAND'S EXPORT TRADE.

In_ New Zealand,of course, the reportcontinues, duo regard must bo given toour export trade in any national planbecause our greatest need at the iuo<ment is to restore the purchasing powerof our exports in respect of otherclasses of goods and services within ourown country. ' '-.

CORRESPONDENCETHIS COLD BUSINESS

(To the Editor.)Sir,—Sir Francis Bel!, K.C., cm the

question of the ownership of the banks'gold holdings, gave his opinion thut thegold coiu and bullion held by the tradingbanks in New Zealand are, both in lawand in fact, the absolute property of thebanks. Sir Francis further slated that"It seems that the Government does notchallenge the property, since -it proposesto pay a prica for the property, Thatprice is to be what the Governmentchooses to pay, not the actual value."Now, to get at the value. When Eng-land weut off the gold standard the priceof fine gold weut up in a. night from£i'4a lid per ounce to £5 !is Ud,copperfrom SSttd to 33Ud, lead lOVid to WM,tin l]2Vad to 120 5-Bd,silver. 13 7-8 dto17 I'lOd. In effect, thq owners of thesestocks of metala eaid to the would-bebuyer, "The pr'jeg was so much,on thegold standard, but today you are payingnia with a depreciated cnrrengy--theve-tore, you will require to give "ie five de-preciated pounds to. make up for fourgold ones," .■'".'-At thai; time there appeared an article

in the "Evening Post" with the followingheadings: "Business pjfficult—Prices Wittdrawn," Extracts from that article areas follows:—"New Zealand import trade with .for.eign countries and to come extent withthe United Kingdom is almost at a stand*still pending the settling down of therates of exchange."

"American exporters to New Zealandhave cabled their representatives in theDominion withdrawing all quotations."

"Where prices are quoted at all, theyshow, a rise of from 2o per cent, to 35per cent, over those current before theannouncement was made that Englandwas no longer on the gold standard."

Obviously a readjustment of prices wastaking place on the basis of the' depre<ciution of the English pound. Since thenNew Zealand currency has baen depreci-ated by Governmentaction by n further25 per cent. However, the present priceof gold comparable to the price of fluegold under the gold standnrd is £6 0sper ounce, which affords a fairly reliableindex as to tho measure of the deprecia-tion of New Zealand's pound and of it-self supplies, in the opinion of tho writer,tho fair price which should be paid bytho Government in taking over tho goldfrom its owners, the banks.—l am, etc.,

EOSENEATH.(To theEditor.)

Sir,—'Thorecent public reference tothe basks' gold holdingand tho right ofthe Government to take gold coin over atbook value, i.e., nt 20s for each sovereign,whereas the market value is approximately38s,has caused an erroneous impression inthe mind of the man in the street, whomerely thinks it somewhat of a joke thatthe so-called "wealthy financial institu-tions'' are being forced to disgorge at lust.I am a salaried man who invested my sav-ings amounting to £2(30 jn banks' shares,and am consequently one of the thousandsof "small" New Zealanders who are pro-prietors of the banks, and therefore ofthe banks' gold holdings, and as such Iwant to know why I am being singled outfor unfair treatment, when others who in-vested in gold mining shares or other in-dustrial investments are being allowed toreceive market value for their property.I purchased my shares some years ago atabout 100 per cent, more than they areworth today and my dividend is only one-third the amount it originallywas, largely,I understand,because of the taxationwhich is paid by the banks whether aprofit is earned or not.

Let the Government forgot- that thegold is the property pf the banks, and re-member that the banks are only the pro-perty of a large section of the people whowill forcibly object to this confiscation oftheir property, .I contend that the osnks are entitled to

the full' market value of the jgold held.Surely i£ i% is an equitably prineip^ fora farmer to receive market;value for landtaken over by the Government for settle-ment purpose^, the bank shareholders areentitled to similar treatment, oi' Is thisonly another form of class.discrimination.'It cannot be contended that it is becauseit did not cost the banks more than facevalue as much other property ia aequjredfor public purpose* at a figure greatly be-yond the original cost.I sincerely hope, the directors ot the

banks will quite rightly continue to objectand convince the Government that inacting as proposed,, many New Zealand;t; ;zens will be treated,unfairly and con-trary to the precedents in regard to auother forms of property acquired by. Gov-ernment in every part of the Empire.—J

Suv—During themonth of August muchwas written regarding the above,and anannouncement was made by the CityCouncil that, whilst it was inopportuneimmediately to restore the band subsidy,the conditions complained of would belifted. The bands were highly jubilant,and had visions of past days, and the sum-mer concert season was in preparation andwas opened by the Municipal TramwaysBaud at the Gardensabout the beginningof October, But, alas! conditions worw!than before have been imposed, and in-stead of having to "remain stationarytwenty paces away from and inside thegates and most not solicit donations," theband was given a diagram of the Gardenswith lour marked points almost aI the

base of the rotunda where they may col-lect, but must remain there. This surely,Sir, is the limit.

The band played a splendid musical per-formance,and the attendance, I estimate,was at least 1000,but the collection wa.sonly £3 4s. The audience listened from theslopes .surrounding the rotunda, ehierlyfrom the far side of the pond, but thecollector was not allowed to go nearthem.

TRADE OF THE PORT

STILL AT LOW LEVEC

EXPORTS UP; IMPORTSDOWN

A summaryofthe port statistics pre<rented at the monthly meeting of thoWellington Harbour Board last even-ing by the ehiof executive officer (Mr,A. G. Barnett) showed that the totaltrade of tiio porthas remained at abouttho same level as last year, which waatho lowest for some years. Exportscontinue to increase, but imports showa further, though small, decline.

The uot registered tonnfge of vesselsarriving increased from 3,493,476 tonsto 3,652,764 tons, or by 159,288 tons,which is 4,6 per cent. General cargoimports decreased from 323,230tons to316,918tons, or by 6312 tons, or 2 percent. Transhipments showed a furtherdecrease,the figures boinjj 103,387tons,compared with 109,479tons, a drop Qf6093 tons, or 5,6 per .cout.'

Exports of, genoral cargo sliowo'l afurther increase, tho totals being thisyear 232,069 tons, compared with233,198tons, an Increase of 8871 tons,or 4 por cent, Waul showt'tl n furtherincrease, the quantity for l!Ki;: being221,604bales as against 187,192balesin 1932,an incrouV of !U,-U'J bales,or18,4 per cent. Hemp ttml unv also in-creased, but'the quantity if still wellbehind tho exports of former years. Thetotal shipped this year was 17,763bales.

Butter, cheese, and frown meat ship-ped to British* and foroign pvvts total-Jed 111,211tons, eonipaiTd with 108,551tona in the year preceding-, nn increaseat 2.5 per cent, The prim'tpfil increasewas in butter, which luiiuuiitucj to 4337tons, or 26.4 per cent, t'hoese increasedfrom 41,406tons to 45,391 tons, or by9,6 per cent., whilst there was a de-crease in the quantity of frozen meatshipped of 11.1 per cent.

Tho total tonnage of coal landed de-creased from 243,616 tons to 209,001tons, or by 34,615 tons, which is 14,2per cent. The principal decrease wasin Governmentcoal exempt from wharf-,ago, which decreased by 22,387 tons,or 30.2 per cent.

Timber imports showed an increaseof 20,7 por cent., but the total figuresare still well below normal times. Thoe^portg of timber were about tho sameas last year.

Bulk oil pumped ashore and tranship-ped increased from 298,927 tons to314,391tons, or by 15,464 tons, or 5.2per cent. The total tonnage of allclasses of cargo handled inwards, out-wards, and transhipped this year was1,292,576 tons, as compared with1,311,025, a decrease of 18,449tons, or1,4 per cent. The manifest tonnage,which includes transhipments outwardsas well as inwards, was 1,468,192 tons,which is 20,806 tons below last year.

It will be seen that the import tradehas not improved with tho increase inexports, but it 3s hoped by the boardthat imports will improve during thecoming year.

And thatwas a sensational business. Purser hadrun nowhere in an easier race just priorto the Cup. He carried a weight iathe big race the which had never be-fore beun borno to victory-ia thatevent. Naturally, ho startod at longodds. It was a rough race; no fewerthan three of the best-fancied horseswere knocked from pillar to post, hav-ing all chance of victory extinguished.Godby's first horseman,an ox-Zealander,had the mount on one of the favourites,and Purser was ridden by a New Zea-land jockey. After looking hope-lessly out of it for at least half thajourney, Purser shot to the front ahundred yard? from the post and won.going away. "When the stunned crowd

recovered its voice it hooted vigorously.An inquiry followed, theresult of which:was that the horse and his connec-tions were requested to take a holidayfrom tho Turf, It was reported sub-sequently that Purser had been quietly;backed at long odds for big money.

AS THE CLOCK STBTJCfc TWELVE,

Good evening "Sarge'M milespond&g a few days' leave in LondonI wandered one morning into "The.Mule and Limber." The bar was: i» Iof Anzacs, Canadians,and South Afu«cans Conversation was of a specula-tive character, and centred round al'inkv Quccnslander.Bets were being-made as to whether or not he coulddrijik twelve pints of beer as the clockchimed twelve. At the appointed hourthe Aussie stepped up to tho bar onwhich stood tho twelve full glasses. Astho clock struck its first chime he com-menced to drink. His arm appeared towork almost mechanicallyas each glasswas lifted and the contents rapidly,emptied. The clock was beaten by asplit second. He collectod his bets andquite unperturbed continued drinking.All agreed the entertainment had beenworth tho money invested. During »recent talkie programme au Australiannewsreel was screened. A scene showedtho interior of a Brisbane hotel bar.Bets were being made by au individualwhom I distinguished as that sameQueeuslander, This time bis act waseven more startling. Twelve "handlesof beer were placed on the floor. Stand*ing on his head, legs balanced in theair, and using ono hand to lift theglasses, he quickly drank their eon*tents, and then lined up for more. Asit was warm in tho theatre, and my-throat was dry, once again I thoughtthe swallowingof those drinks the mostpleasing sound I had ever heard.

WAGES IN INDUSTRY

HOW TO DISTRIBUTE"A TERRIFIC PROBLEM"

DOMINION'S POSITIONla the introduction to the report pre-

sented at the annual meeting of theNew Zealand Employers' Federationtoday is xt quotation from Sir HaroldBowden, simply and concisely statingtho terrific problem facing tho world:

In an age of cheap production andample supply millions in every landare- suffering want; scientific methodsand machinery are progressivelydiminishing the demand for man-power, and our industries are crippledby lack of purchasing power whichwe can find no means of distributingother than as a reward for manpower which wo do not want.Tho report surveys the movement of

produce prices and tho volume of ex-ports in some detail, and remarks thatit is very satisfactory to note the recenthigher quotations for wool, dairy pro-ducts, and meat! If the present pricesquoted are realised between now andnext May the Dominion should showa very much better result for thocurrent year. It may be that evenbetter prices will be realised because,at present, there is an improvement inthe general trado of Great Britain, ourprincipal market, in which an improve-ment in purchasing power is of almostas great importance to the people ofA'ew Zealand as it is to the peoplo ofGreat Britain itself, for notwithstandingdevelopment of the local market NewZealand will be greatly dependent uponthe markot of Great Britain for a longtime to come. --

RISE IN EXPORT PRICES."Tho most essential need of Now Zea-

land at tho present time is a riso inour export prices without a correspond-ing rise in our internal prices," thereport continues. "A general rise ofthe price level, maintaining the presentdisparity would leave us still indifficulty. A riso in export prices whichwould restore the purchasing p'oworwithin New Zealand of those cngagodin tha export industries would go farto remove the whole of our difficulties.This must always be remembered inconsidering any plans for improvementof our internal position because it re-quires a further relentless effort tolower our internal costs or at least toprevent their rising until such timo asthe old parity between export and. in-ternal prices is restored. There is aconstantly reiterated statement fromSailover the world that prices must beraised, but that in itself is not sufficientin New Zealand. We shall nover restoreour internal trado to a stato of perfecthealth until wo aro able to bring thotwo prices together in their old pro-portion."

GENERAL AND SPECIALTAXATION.

The TQport romarks that whilo thonational income of tho Dominion isestimated to have- fallen from£150,000,000 to £80,000,000, theStato expenditure for the last financialyear was £22,528,379, as compared with£24,708,042for tho'year.1930-31,a re-duction of £2,179,603, or 8.8 per cent.The reduction was satisfactory so faras it went, but obviously tho presentscale of expenditure could not bo main,lamed without requiring an altogetherdisproportionate sacrifice in other direc-tions. To maintain this expenditurethe sales tax, which had many featuresparticularly objectionable to employers,had been imposed. Including the unem-ployment relief funds, totalling£4,000,000 per annum, the industriesof New Zealand were being taxed moreheavily than ever before. Obviously,too great a drain upon the productionof industry for Government expendi-ture of a non-productive character mustreact upon industry and employment.While it was difficult to estimate therepercussions of interest and rent re-ductions many producers and employershad benefited from them, and they hadbeen a-factor in reducing industrialcosts,

WAGE REDUCTIONS."A number of industrial awards and

agreements havo been reviewed duringHie year, and in most cases wage rateshave bocn fixed at about 15 por cent,below that of March, 1931. On tho basisof 1914—1000 tho index number of theDominion average wage rate at March,1933,was 1368. As the index numberfor retail prices on the same base was1264,real wages for thoso workers^ inconstant employment have been im-proved," tho report continues. "Tak-ing into account the reduction* of work-ing time ad the increased casualnessof many classes of employment, it isclear that the standard of living ofwage-earners, in common with that ofall other classes,has been reduced.

"It may be as well to reiterate herewhat haa been said frequently be/ore,that this federation does not put for-ward wage reduction as a cure for thopresent economic troubles that afflicti\s. What we have claimed rightthroughis that wage rates could not be main-tained at the 1930-31 level in the faceof our reduced national income follow-ing upon the fall in the pricoa of ourexports. Moreover, that fall in theprices of our exports preceded concert-ed action on our part in the directionof reducing wages.

WAGES IN MECHANISEDINDUSTRY.

"It is fullyrealised that a reductionof wages that is not accompanied by aproportionate fall in prices lessons con-sumptive power. If further reductionof wages is to be made it is imperativethat some means be devised of bringingabout a corresponding and simultaneousreduction in all other costs. Further,it is clear that under modern methodsof production in which the proportionof labour cost to total cost is muchlower than it used to be and the pro-portion of overhead duo to machinery,plant, buildings, power, etc., is becom-ing increasingly greater, the eflect ot,a wage reduction upon costs is becom-ing less important than it has ever beenbefore."

Other sections of the report arc sum-marised elsewhere in this issue.

HARBOUR BOARD STAFFSTAND-DOWN WEEK

ABOLISHED

When the Harbour Board resumed inopen meeting last night, after goinginto committee' to consider a recom-mendation by the wharves and accountscommittee, tho chairman (Mr. C. M.Turrell) made tho following statementto the Press: —"In January, 1932, it was decidedby the board that all weekly regularemployees should lose one week in everyfive. This was one of the measures ofeconomy carried out by the board onaccount of slump conditions, a drasticsystem of staff reductions being thoonly alternative left in somo depart-ments.

"In view of the works being put inhand by the board, such as repairs tothe Boat Harbour, the extension of thePoint Howard oil jetty,and the SteepleRock beacon, it was recommended bythe chairman and the executive officersto the board that the stand-down weekhe abolished, and this has received theunanimous approval of the board. Thereinstatement will commente I'runi 3N'o-Vember I.*"'

CONTROL BY STATETHE RESERVE BANK

MR. POLSON'S VIEWS

"SIGNS OF THE TIME"

"Mypoint is that the responsibility isalways the State's,and the control shouldalways ultimatelyrest with the State,"said Mr. W. J. Poison (Government,Stratford) when speaking on the Re-servo Bank of New Zealand Bill in theHouso of Representatives yesterdayafternoon. Mr. Poison mainly directedhis argument.to the necessity of ensur-ing that the bank would lie a State-controlled institution, and intimatedthat in the Committee stage he wouldmove an amendment accordingly.

Discussing the amendment moved bythe Labour member for Avon (Mr. D. G,Sullivan), Mr. Poison said that itshowed an entire lack of appreciationof the contents of the Bill. The Billwas a necessity, it would be the copingstone of the financial system, and itwould be of service to the State andto the community, provided that itsfunctions were based on service to thepeople and not profit to any set of in-dividuals. He did not intend to criti-cise the trading banks, which had doneexceptionally well (and which had beenvery well rewarded); they had consoli-dated a position that had been of valueto the people, but the operation oftrading banks was to deal with money,as a merchant dealt with goods, forprofit. A Central Bank had an entirelydifferent purpose, central and commer-cial banking being two different'tilings.A Central Bank was a machine to gov-ern a nation's finances in the interestsof the people.,,

PUBLIC WELL-BEINGA Central Bank must reconcile Gov-

ernment and public interests in thehands of some ' competent authoritywhich had no other interest but tl»epublic well-being. A Central Bankserved the State, and the State shouldnot; lose control of that institution.That was the,official view of the farm-ers' organisation of New Zealand hewas associated with, -and it was theview of all the organisations whichhad been making some special study ofcurrency and financo during the pastyear or two. "I do not believe insneering at people who are studyingthese questions," he remarked. "Cheapsneers at any study circle don't cut anyice with me,"

Mr. Poison said that ho was opposedto inflation, but there was no war-ranty for supposing that the CentralBank would be used for any such pur-pose. Prices could be -.estored onlywith a,revival of trade. Oncoa coun-try began "monkeying" with its moneysystem without skilled control and ade-quate organisation to manageit, troublewould result. The- policy of drasticreductions in mouoy costs had beenalong right lines. ' Tho State shouldcontrol credit and currency, and heclaimed that the Bill was au attemptto camouflage the true position. "Iamasked to agree to a more or less clumsyand ill-concealed device to enable whatis a banking monopoly to retain itsgrip of the machine," he said.

Mr. A. J. Stallworthy (Independent,Eden): How can you support tho Bill?

Mr. Poison: I will come to that in amoment. At the present time I amgoing to take the necessarysteps whichwill lead to the preservation of the con-trol by the State of the machine. lamsatisfied that the machine is soundenough, provided its control is in theright hands.

Mr. Poison said it was the right ofthe people to control their own creditand currency through ,the Bill. "Ithink of the farming community aftera lifetime of toil, only preserved frombankruptcy by a temporary device, andI think of the banks rewarded, sittingin ease and comfort," said Mr. Poison."I cannot blame the farming commun-ity if they say very definitely, 'We arenot going to allow the State institu-tion to bs handed over to tho controlof our masters,' I have no complaintto make against the private mortgageeswho have played the game; their re-sponse has been wonderful. The moneythey lent was money earned before theylent it, but I don't think "the samecan lie said of the banking institu-tions. '' BANKS' ATTITUDE.

Mr. Poison quotodcases where CentralBanks had been created as State banks,and tho rights of the people had beenpreserved, and pointed out- that thoNow Zealand bank could be made aState bank. If it was then found thattho was unworkable, it"could beamended.

"Is it that the Minister of Financefeels that the banks will not play thegame with the State institution, andthat tho institution will be ignorod bythe banking authorities?" asked Mr.Poison. "Anyhow, ho will find himselfon tho horns of a dilemma. He wantsshareholder- control in a State bankand State control in a trading bank."

One function of tho bank would bot6 create a markot for short-termmoney. Figures had been quoted show-ing that the State had to get its short-term oredit at exorbitant charges: 5per cent, against -i per cent, in NewYork, and £3 17s Cd in Canada. Mr.Poison quoted other Reserve Bankswhich were State banks, Tho argu-ment had beon put forward that confi-dence <sould only be securod by privatecontrol, but he could not understandthat for a moment. There was con-fidence in banks in other parts of thoworld where the State had control, andin any oase the Government had alwaysto come in as tho last resort. Therewas confidence in tho Bank of NewZealand and in the Post Office SavingsBank.

In the Committee stage he intendedto move that four directors and thegovernor of the Beserve Bank be ap-pointed by the Governor-General inCouncil; three directors to bo appointedby the shareholders; and tho deputygovernor, with no deliberative vote, tobo appointed by tho board. Five oftho six trading banks were controlledelsewhere than in New Zealand.

"THE WHIPS OUT."Mr. Poison said ho thought tltub a

great portion of the Coalition Partyagreed that there should be Stato con-trol, but tho whips had been out, and,us a bogy, the Labour Party had beenquoted. If the Labour Party got intopower tomorrow and was worth its salt,it would turn the Bill round to suitits purpose. Ha thought the Ministerwas afraid that if tho existing bankswore not placated, they would preventhis joint stock bank operating.

The Minister of Finance (the lit.Hon. J. G. Coates): That is not fail-criticism.

Mr. Polsom I cannot understand theframe of mind of the right hon. gentle-man. Knowing his liberal views on allsorts of questions, ,1 failto understandhis attitude in connection with thismatter. During the nineteenth centurythe people swept away the nobility,and it was said that this century theywould sweep aside. the financialoligarchy throughout tho world.

Mr. J. A. Lee (Labour, Grey Lynn):You arc coming on.

Mi1.Poison said it was useless for theGovernmentto put its head in the sand.It should Tecogniso the signs of thetime, and that there was a feeling inthe country that tho institution shouldbe Stato controlled.

The Rev, C. Carr {Labour, 'liuia.ru),

who was tho next speaker, in comment-ing, upon Mr. Poison 'a speech, said thatwhat the Labour Party had failed to dothe farmers had succeeded in accom-plishing. "What a change must havetaken place in the outlook of the farm-ing community to effect such a changein the attitude of the hon. gentleman,"he said.

EMPLOYERS' LIABILITYPRIVY COUNCIL DECISION

MATTER OF GRAVE CONCERN

(By Telegraph.-r-Prcss Association.) 'jAUCKLAND, This Day.

' "It amounts to this, that, should, forexample, an eruption occur duringworkinghours, overwhelming Aucklandas Vesuvius overwhelmed Pompeii or asTarawcra overwhelmed Wairoa vil-lage, every employer, or his estate ifhe himself"were killed, would bo liableunder'the Workers' Compensation Actto pay compensation to his employeesor their representatives as for death orinjury by accident arising out of theemployment in which each was work-ing," said Sir George Elliot, chairmanof directors, at the annual meeting oftho South British Insurance Companytoday.

He discussed at-length the PrivyCouncil's decision in tho Hawko's. Bayearthquake cases, describing it as thomost momentous event of tho year intho insurance world.

The decision gravely concerned em-ployers, owing to tho incalculable lia-bility imposed upon them by whatalmost might be termed tho esotericmeaning ascribed to tho apparentlysimple words "arising out of" in theAct. Sir (George said that in conse-quence of the Privy Council decision,employers were carrying- a liabilitythatwas not merely unreasonable, but wasunbearable, and they should be re-lieved from it.at the earliest possiblemoment.

GIVEN A FREE HAND

With one dissentient, ,the Dominionexecutive of the New Zealand Farmers'Union decided yesterday afternoon tosupport the amendment to be moved bythe president (Mr. W. J. Poison, M.P.)to the Central Reserve Bank of NewZealand Bill, as being more in conform-ity with the expressed policy of theFarmers 1 Union, and to give him a freehand to support, if found necessary,any other amendment advantageous tothe interests of the organisation.

Mr. Poison said his amendment wasthat a majority of the directors shouldbo appointed by the State. Ho doubtedwhether the proposal would be adopted,although several members of the Gov-ernment party undoubtedlywould votefor it.

Mr. IVWaite (Baldutha) and Mr. J.D. Hall (Christchurch) raised the pointof whether the president's aniendmentmight not imperil the Bill. Vov fiveyears, said Mr. Waite, there would bea majority oi?Government members onthe board. In view of that fact, careshould be taken that nothing was doneto jeopardise the Bill."I don't think this amendment is

going to jeopardise the Bill," repliedMr. Poison. The Bill was pretty gener-ally acceptable, except, of course', bythe banking section. He did not thinkhimself for a moment that the questionof a director more or less on the boardwaa going to c&usethe Government todrop tho Bill-

Mr. W. B. Matheson (Wellington)said he thought it would be a mistakeif the amendment were not put. Thovery fact of having private capital intlie bank was unsatisfactory in thosedays.

Mr. H. O. Mellsop (Auckland) saidthat althoughhe.thoughttho Bill was avery great improvement on tho originalBill, lie could not support it in view ofthe provision for share-holding capital.

LONDON, October 25.The Government is making a most

comprehensive investigation as to theeffects of Japanese competition withBritish trado in view of tho discussionsof British and Japanese industrialistsiv tlie middle of November.

Tho hope is that instead of resortingto higher tariffs to protect the homemanufacturer against the low wages,(juvornment subsidies, and depreciatedcurrency in Japan, a more amicablesolution may be found by an agreementbetween the two countries.

Manchester shirt manufacturers arethe latest to suffer from the suddenflooding of the market with cheapJapanese wares.

PLYING- ENTHUSIAST

AUSTRALIAN DESIGNER'SEARLY TRIALS

(From "The Post's" R«prwentative.)SYDNEY, October 19.

Captain E. R. Pereival, the Austra-lian designer of the Percival-Gull aero-plane in which Sir Charles KingsfordSmith created a new record from Eng-land to Australia, was another prophetwithout honour in his own c6untiy. Al-most unknown in many parta of theCommonwealth,ho has achieved greatfame abroad. Bvcn in Sydney, wherehe had his home a few years Bgo, hewas regarded as a harem-scurem pilot,ready to risk his life in any undcvelop-od flying scheme.

Captain Percival served with credit;as a pilot in the Great War, and whenhe returned to Australia he realisedthat aviation here >was looked upon assomething beyond the ambitions oflocally-grown talent. For a time ho ex-perimented with various types ofgliders, some of bis own design, andthen he secured an Avro. Like SirCharles Kingsford Smith, he made aliving by barnstormine-^visitiug coun-try towns and offering joy-rides for pro-fit. He soon turn«d his attention to de-signing his own machines, and flewthese in competitions. Five years agohe saw that aviation overseas was at-tracting the best brains, so he went toEngland, There he flew with varyingsuccess in competition flights, and fin-ally turned his whole attention to de-siguing. Tho Percival-Gull is tho resultof years of experimenting;, much of itof ti Clangorous nature. Now his Gullhas at last received international re-cognition. Sir Charles Kingsford Smithhas,nothingbut praise for it, and he hascertainly shown its capabilities,

BOND OF COMMERCEAUSTRALIA AND N.Z.THE NEW AGREEMENT

GREATER STABILITYUnited Tress Association—By Electric Tele-

graph—Copyright.(Received October 26, 9 a.m.)

CANBERRA, This Day.Mr. L. J. Schmitt, New Zealand Trade

Commissioner,was present in tlie Houseof Representatives when tlio tradeagreement with New Zealand wastabled.

In an interview he said that theagreement would enlarge the bonds offriendship between Australia and NewZealand, and ho hoped that a morefavourable trade balance would resultfor New Zealand. Judging from thocomments he had heard among Minis-ters and members the agreement shouldmake for greater stability between thetwo countries. He pointed out that fortho two years 1931-32 the exports ofAustralian goods to New Zealand hadbeen £5,119,000, and the imports of NewZealand goods by Australia £2,185,000.Thus in two years Australia enjoyed 73per cent, and New Zealand 28 per cent,

of the trans-Tasman trade. During thepast decado New Zealand had pur-chased good from Australia valued at£38,250,000,while in the same, periodAustralia's purchases from New Zea-land were £24,300,000,the balance inAustralia's . favour being thus£13,950,000.

Mr. Schmitt stated that New Zealandhad increased its proportion of severalimportant classes of imports from Aus-tralia in tho past three years, as fol-lows:—Confectionery, 57 per cent.;hosiery,-12 per cent.; stationery, 20 percent.; paints and varnishes, 19.8 percent.; iron and steel, 47.6 per cent.;fencing wire, 17.5 per cent.; electricalmachinery, 11.2 per cent.; leather andleather goods, 24.4 per cent.; glass andglassware, 16 per cent.; bo6ks, papers,music, 16.2 per cent."As a matter of fact," he said,"New Zealand is Australia's best cus-tomer, Australia's share of tho grandtotal of imports into New Zealand being11.6-1 per cent, in 1932, and of all Bri-tish countries-, excepting the UnitedKingdom, Australia is the largest sup-plier of New Zealand imports.". Mr. Schmitt expressed the hope thattho new treaty would facilitate tho de-velopment of trans-Tasman trade andenablo New Zealand to gain a morefavourable position, in regard to theadverse balance so very .apparent at|present. ..:

THE ANZAC SPIRITIN TRADE AS IN WAR

MUTUAL INTERESTS

(Received October 26,8 a.m.)CANBERRA, October 25. .

Tho Minister of Customs, tho Hon.Lieut.-Colonel T. W. White, tabled theproposed new trado agreement withNew Zealand in theHouso of Represen-tatives today.

The Minister said that the agreementsafeguarded the interests of Austra-lian primary industries and providedsubstantial benefits for Australiansecondary industries. Most of Aus-tralia's trade with New Zealand was insecondary products, which dependedalmost wholly on tho preferenceswhich tho agreement ensured.

The Minister also revealed that ex-change and dumping duty on Austra-lian goods had been obviated. He de-tailed the term's of the agreement,which comes into force by proclama-tion,

Lieutenant-Colonel White referred toSir Massy Greene's visit to New Zea-land, smoothing out the difficulties inregard to citrus fruits and tho. recenthappy decision of tho New ZealandGovernment to admit South Australianoranges and Queenslandpineapples. Hoexpressed tho opinion that Australiashould with the preference now grantedbo able to oust foreign competitorswith raisins and also capture the mar-ket for canned pineapples. Australiawas practically the onlycountry whoseexports to Now Zealand had increasedin 1932.

Lieutenant-Colonel White added thattho agreement embodied a sincereeffort to reach a. satisfactory settle-ment and, while some concessions mightbo open to criticism, it would bo un-wise to fail to recognise that in thoabsence of preferences to New ZealandAustralia's trade must suffer a serioussotback. Just as tho two countries intho Anzac spirit had co-operated intho war, so they should come togetherin peace to promote arrangements formutual interests.

The debate was adjourned.

INGLORIOUS DEBUTWINOOKA RUNS LASTMATCH RACE AT LAUREL

BEATEN FROM START

Untied rress Association—By Electric Tele-graph—Copyright.

(Bcecived October26, 12.30 p.m.)BALTIMOEE, October 25.

I Winooka made au inglorious debut inthe Eastern States by finishing last ivthe special 2300-dollar challenge raceat Laurel Park today. He was alwaysfavourite, but failed badly. The dis-tance was six furlongs, and there wasa big attendance of 12,000 to witnessthe contest.

The result of the race was:—A. C. Bostwiek 's Mate, 8.8 1Sheldon H. Fairbauk's Gold Step,

8.8 2Lee Rosenberg's Kerry Patch, 8.4 3Al Aster's Character, 8.4 4

A. J. Matthews, W. A. McDonald,and K. Naylor's Winooka, 8.8 5

'■■ Many professional selectors pickedWinooka to win, and he ruled a con-sistent favourite. The time of lmin 124-ssec on a fast track was not particu-larly good .for the Laurel course.

An attendance of 12,000 persons, anunusually large week-day crowd, sawthe race, which stimulated an amountof betting estimated at 350,000dollarsfor the day, this being about 75,000dollars more than the average.

Winooka was led through the paddockearly by his trainer, M. Poison, and"lie was acclaimed by well-wishers, in-cluding prominent society and Turffigures. Winooka's stall was sur-rounded by admirers, and the horsemade a beautiful appearance.1 Poison was confident before the race.Winooka's manager and part-owner, Mr.E. Naylor, said: "Winooka'a a cinch."

The start was a good one, with nodelay at the barrier. AH five runnersbroke away together, Character beingthe first to show out a short margin infront of Kerry.Patch and Winooka,with Mate last. For the first two fur-longs they all raced closely bunched,with Character now leading by half alength, and Gold Step moving np intosecond position and Mate into thirdposition.

Winooka- was in tight quarters near-ing the three furlongs, and fell back tolast place. He recovered quickly andreplaced Kerry Patch, but only momen-tarily, in fourth position.

Midwayon the turn it was'plain thatWinooka was a beaten horse. He wouldnot come on, despite hard urging byhis rider (E. Britt). He fell back stead-*ily, and appeared very tired at the end,though,he seemingly pulled up in goodshapo after the finish.

The furlongs were run as follows:—114-sscc, 23 2-ssec, 35'1-ssec, 47 4-ssec,lmin, and lmin 12 4-ssec. ■Winooka was beaten by a total ofeight lengths and three-quarters by thewinner (Mate).

Messrs. Poison and Naylor are stun-ned by Winooka's poor race.

Mike Poison said that had the horsebeen himself he would have been wing-ing it out on top. He said he knew thehorse wouldbe beaten soon after thestart. He was slightly interfered withnear the three-furlongpole, but notenough to cause his defeat. Mr. Naylorsaid that the horse would be givenanother race at an early date.

Some prominent horsemen said thatithe climate had something to do with'Winooka's poor race. The cool weatherfor, the last few days caused the horseto eat and fill out. Others said thehorse might not have been acclimatised.Often horses coming east from Cali-fornia run dullraces at their first starts.

The racing editor of the "NewiYork Times" says: "Winooka shouldnot be * too quickly condemned, as hisAustralian record entitles him to fur-ther considerations. He should beraced more, for his three races in sixmonths in this country have offeredIhim very little competition, particularlyas his first two were of negligible ac-count. The present race may in manyrespects be regarded as' Winooka's firstcompetitive effort. Winooka was madefavourite today chiefly on talk and noton performance in America. The publicview had been distorted by prolongednegotiations and lack of action."

The racing editor of the "Balti-more Post" says: "Winooka was asoundly beaten horse. The reason forhis poor race may be the difference be-tween Australian and American train-ing methods. We believe, how-over, that with today's. raceunder his belt Winooka may dobetter at his next start. It mustbo remembered that he Has not beento the post since his match at Seattle.Today he met a well-seasoned andacclimatised lot of thoroughbreds. Heis a grand looking individual, and weagree with expert horsemen that hecan do better."

TOO MANY CRITICSLOYALTY FOR SUCCESS

FUTURE OF EMNRE

ADDRESS TO EMPLOYERS

In his presidential address todelegates attending tho annualgeneral meeting of the New Zea-land Employers' Federation today,Mr. A. C. Mitchell emphasised theneed for loyalty and co-operationin business,in Dominion and in Em-pire matters, if efforts to bringnbout a return of prosperity woreto sucoed.Commenting upon the failure of the

World Economic Conference,Mr. Mit-chell said that "unfortunately, beforetho assembling of the Conference, theinternal conditions in tho United Statesbecame Sobad that tho President hadto devoto Ma whole energies and thewhole resources of Ms country to theimprovement of the internal situationwith the result that no plan for inter-national stabilisation of currency couldbe adopted. This first great object ofthe Conference having to be aband-oned, the Conference was unable toachieve success in other directions, andthe world's greatest needs in the inter-ests of economic recovery remain un-solved.

EMPIRE AGREEMENTS."When one considers the difficulty of

obtaining an agreement on importantquestions amongst a comparativelysmall group of men engaged in similarbusinesses,it is easy to understand the

' tremendous difficulty of securing anagrement between many nations withdifferent degrees of civilisation, differ-ent ideals and ambitions and manydifferent languages," he said. "Onething emerges clearly from tho failure,however, that for tho British-speakingpeople the' hopo of betterment lies withthemselves. "" . . It should tliere-foro be comparatively easy to secureagreements on major questions of eco-jiomie policy between Great Britainand the Dominions and in such agree-ments, I am convinced,lie tho hope forbetterment of our countries for seevralyears to Mine. Further, a wider inter-national 'agreement may graduallycome about from any lead given by thecomponent parts of the Empire in theform of agreements upon trading andcurrencyproblems amongst themselves.

The foundation of such agreementswas laid at Ottawa, said Mr. Mitchell,and the erection of a permanent struc-ture of Empire prosperity upon thatfoundation was now to work to whichthe statesmen of Groat Britain andIhe Dominions must apply themselves.

There were many different problemsto study,but thero should be none per-manently incapable of if theweight of public opinion throughoutthe Empire was solidly behind thestatesmen and Governments of eachcountry in measures taken with thisdefinite object. Empire agreementsupon questions of currency and com-merce should become a slogan through-out' Great Britain and the Dominions.

The Dominion's interests, said Mr.Mitchell, wero wrapped up in those ofGreat Britain and any restrictions onNow Zealand's exports to tho Britishmarket would be disastrous. Quackremedies must bo guarded against.There was no short cut to prosperity.A country was only a multiplication ofindividuals and in face of diminishednational income all must work harderandbe content to accept less until theprice level was restored.

RESTORE CONFIDENCE.

' '' Industrial expansion is possible inNew Zealand on sound economic prin-ciples if. confidence can be restoredsufficiently to attract capital. .Con-fidence is somewhat psychological,"continued tho president. "I wonderwhether it can be said that we haveall acquitted ourselves with that creditwhich was to be expected of us as aBritish- people? Have we not dis-played-indications of panic, and a dis-inclination to support those to whomwe have entrusted the administrationof our affairs? Have we extended totheml on all occasions that ■ loyalty■which was their due without which itisunore difficult for them to be sue-

,«e^»ful? . . 'There seems to be rather a. ten-dency for the people -to split up into■mall factions each pursuing its ownSeparate ideal under untried and;ofttimes inexperienced leaders. Sucha condition tends to delay rather■than hasten economic recovery.''

BACKING FOR ROOSEVELT.Mr. Mitchell remarked that an out-

standing feature of the National Re-covery plan in America wasthat theAmerican people were prepared to backthe President to the hilt in an endea-vour to make the experiment a success.2vew Zealand had had nothing likethe degree of industrial and financialdisorganisation to overcome, but theyhad not followed tho American exampleof whole-hearted adoption of a commonpolicy. By constant wearisome re-iteration of criticism of every Govern-ment measuro a maximum-amount ofevil could be dono in tho destructionof confidence,tho delay of business andrestriction of employment:"I want to ask you gentlemen

whethor we are to accept this criti-cism: that the business community ofNew Zealand is less patriotic than thepeople of the United States of Amer-ica?" continued Mr. Mitchell. "Thismay be an unpleasant suggestion tothe people of Now Zealand, but it isfully time that wo faced facts fairlyand squarely. If our members, irre-spective of their political views, wouldpledge themselves to restrain theircriticism of Government measures, andrather to do everything possible to re-store the confidence of tho businesscommunity and to stimulate activityhy doing what they can to assist inthe work of rehabilitation, I am per-suaded that the results would surpassanyono's expectations.

''There is much money available inNew Zealand, even today, for jounddevelopmental enterprises, but the con-fidence-which must precedo tho com-mencement of such undertakings ialacking. If a spirit of calm deter-mination to face facts, to work hard,to be cheerful under adversity and tohe" content with but small profits, plac-ing the ultimate success before- thoimmediate gain as the good to be aimedat, can bo inculcated in us we shallhave nothing to fear."

CAR CONVERSIONQUESTION OF PENALTY

MINISTER'S STATEMENT

MOTORISTS' PROTESTIn a statement handed to the Press

today by Mr. W. A. O'Callaghan andMr. F. W. Johnston, presidents, respec-tively, of the North and South IslandMotor Unions, profound regret was ex-pressed that the Minister of Justice, inhis reply to a question asked by Mr. J.Linklater, M.P., stated that the exist-ing law appeared to prescribe an ade-quately deterrent punishment, but whatwas required was a more vigorous appli-cation of the penalties already pre-scribed.

"The maximum penalty prescribedfor this class of offenceis a fine of£20, or three months' imprisonment,"says tho statement. "It is laid downby tho canons of punishment that amaximum penalty is provided for theworst cases only of any particular classof offence. Therefore, it seems thatour Magistracy cannot be blamed if itinflicts as a general rule penalties wellbelow the maximum fixed in the Act,because Parliament, as the PoliceOffencesAct quite obviously indicates,does not regard the conversion of amotor-car as a serious offence when itfixes the maximum penalty for stealinga car at three months while the maxi-mum for stealing a dog remains at threeyears.

"BEGGING THE QUESTION."

''Mr. Cobbe seeks to justify, the ex-isting law by reference to the Preven-tion of Crimes Act and states that aMagistrate might impose a term ofBorstal detention up to three years onany person up to 23 years of age. Wotake leave to doubt that the Ministeris rightly advised on this point, butassuming that he is, then we have itthat the punishment is to vary accord-ing to the age of the offender, but not,as one might expect, in favour of ten?derness to youth and increasing inseverity with tho' age of the offender.In other words, a person of, say, 25years of age committing an offence isliable to a maximum of three months'imprisonment, whereas a man of 23years and under is liable to three years.The:proposition has only to be statedto be condemned,and wo motorists feelthat it is really begging the questionand that such propositions as thesebring the law into disrepute.

"Mr. Cobbeis reported to have statedthat the number of cases of conversiondealt with by the police in 1932 wasless than in 1930,but we feel that thisis not quite a fair statement of theposition and may be misleading. As amatter, of fact, this class "of crime isdefinitely increasing, as the followingfigures of charges and convictions indi-cate:— Charges. Convictions.

1928 328 26C1929 340 26S1930 466 3951931 ...... 407 3331932 45G 391"The Minister goes on to say that

where theft could be established heav-ier penalties could be obtained. If theMinister has in mind the.theft of toolsor benzine we think that reliance onsuch obvious technicalities, in order tosecure the imposition of greater penal-ties than the law prescribes for themajor offence,will not assist the policeto suppress this class of crime. Dur-ing the last five years no less than£400,000 worth of motor-vehicles havebeen stolen, scores of pounds' worth ofdamage has been done to tho vehicles,heavy expense has been incurred by un-fortunate motorists in recovering theirproperty, and vast inconvenience hasbeen suffered.

TRADE BRIGHTER

IMPROVEMENT AT HOME

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS(By Telegraph.)

(Special to the "Evening Post.")WANGANUI, This Day.

"The conferencemeets this year withdistinctly encouraging trade prospectsin evidence in Great Britain, and thetrade improvement which has takenplace clearly indicates that recovery isunder way," said Mr. A. S. Burgess inhis presidential address at the openingof the annual conference of the Asso-ciated Chambers of Coinmerc today.

Referring to the immediate problemsin New Zealand, Mr. Burgess said thecountry could not ignore its overheadcharges any more than could a businessman, whilst it must also observe soundbusiness principles. There was toogreat a tendency to regard the businessof Government as being divorced fromconsiderations that affect every otherbusiness activity. The State was as-suming an increasingly greater measuroof control in those matters that boroon the success of business operationsand the freedom of the private indi-vidual was being progressively cur-tailed. ' In .view of the gigantic ex-periment in the United States of Ame-rica, it was well that they shouldexamine the position in Kew Zoalandand consider the merits and demerit?of interference by the State with pri-vate industry, trade andcommerce. Hadthat interference by ■ Governmentwidened the fields within which privateenterprise might operate? Had itkept avenues of employment open fortho people or opened up new avenues?Had it encouraged initiative and enter-prise? Had it improved the revenuesof the State without resort to burden-some taxation1? It was a matter ofvital concern that the wheels of indus-try and trade should bo enabled to re-volvo at maximum velocity, and waysto that end must be found. This wasthe only solution to the unemploymenttrouble.

The chamber should during the cur-rent year bring all the pressure possibleupon tho Government to provide somerelief from taxation in the near future.Ono of the brightest spots on thohorizon at the present moment was therelief which was being extended to thetaxpayers by tho Australian Govern-ment. Gestures of that kind wouldhelp to restore confidence, find it .wasconfidence that was required to restoretho world. . j

TARIFF INQUIRYIMPORTERS' REQUESTS

BRITISH CARPET TRADE

The Tariff Commission<!ontinued itssittings today. Dr, G. Craig, Comp-troller of Customs, presided, and as-

-3 sociatcd with him were Professor B. E.1Murphy and Messrs. J. B. Gow and G.- A. Pascoc.1 An application asking that Donna-- cona wood-pulp insulating board re-i main on tho free list was made by

W. H. Long and Co., Ltd., on behalfof the Doiinaeona Paper Co.,Ltd., Mon-treal. It was stated that Donnaconaboard was the only typo that could- meet certain requirements in buildings

" such as theatres and hulls, cool cham-bers, tobacco kilns, and dairy factories.No board of the same kind was madein New Zealand, and there was no com-

' petition with Dominion-made plaster-

' board.> A reduction to 15 per cent, of thopresent preferential duty of 25 per

' cent, on British carpets was sought by

' the Tariff Committee of the Carpet| Trade of the United Kingdom, which! also asked that the general tariff of'.50 per cent, plus surtax remain unal-| tered. It was suggested that a re-

duced duty would result in increased|imports into New ZealandJand the ag-gregate yield of duty would almost cer-tainly exceed the amount being derived[ from the trade at present. If tho de-\mand existed the trade in the United1Kingdom, could meet all local require-ments and provide a vastly increased! quantity of carpets for export. Thecommittee drew attention to the factthat the duty on linoleum, which con-tained no wool, was only 20 per cent.,as against the 25 per cent, imposed oncarpets, nearly one-half of tho primeicost of which was represented by wool.

The kind of carpet most extensively\ imported into New Zealand was in the,piece, so that employment was given

to New Zealand labour to a consider-\ able extent in making up and laying.

CREAM SEPARATORS.Mr. A. E. Dcnham, managing direc-

tor of A. E. .Dcnham and Co.J Ltd.,dairy machinery specialists, asked that

1 foreign-made cream separators remainon the free list. Ho said that he re-; presented the Westphalia Separator Co.,Germany. Most of the improvementsembodied in modern separators hadcome from foreign countries. Eng-land had never specialised in tho in-dustry to the same extent as foreignmanufacturers. He believed that theroshould be an open market for all sep-arator manufacturers. A duty onforeign machines would penalise thefanning community.

Blackstone and Co.,Ltd., Stamford, England, Mr. A. \V.Hawlcy asked that horse rakes, com-bined swathe turners, and side deliveryrakes used for hay harvesting shouldcontinuo to be admitted into Now Zea-land from Great Britain free of duty.Mr. Hawley said that in view of thefact that New Zealand farm productsnad free access to the United King-dom market, as indeed they admittedlyshould have, hi a, principals were of theconsidered opinion that reciprocityshould be extended to agricultural ma-; ehincry- and implements made in the

" United Kingdom and the Empire, whichshould continue to be allowed to enter

iNew Zealand duty free. The added costto the United Kingdom and other Em-pire manufacturers of heavy" sca-trans-■ port charges should afford sufficient pro-

i tection to the limited production of; agricultural machinery in New Zea-■ land. Should this, however, for rea-. sons peculiar to New Zealand noti provo feasible, then he would advocate! a general tariff of 35 per cent, and a, British preferential tariff of not more. than 10per cent.\ IMPORTS OF GLUCOSE.

On behalf of Levin and Co., Ltd.,representing the Coivn Products Re-fining Co., Now York, a statement was

! presented to the Commission by Mr.W. .Harvey rebutting certain evidence\ given in support of an application fora duty of 25 per cent, on foreign glu-

',cose. It appeared, the statement set,out,- that the New Zealand agent for

' the English firm concerned had acted

' entirely on his own behalf in makingthe application. As to the allegation. that the Corn Products Refining Com-pany had a monopoly of tho glucose

f business in New Zealand, it was quitecertain that such a state of affairs

| had never existed. There were manyfactors preventing any one manufac-turer from securing a monopoly, the

1 main ono being price competition. No

' freight advantages were secured by thecompany on shipments made to Now! Zealand by Matson Line vessels, the

i procedure in the case of orders cabledto New York for prompt deliverybeingthat they were always shipped by thefirst available sailing, irrespective ofthe company. So far as comparativefreight rates were concerned, the ratefrom San Francisco on present conver-sion was higher thaifc the English ratewhen tho difference in milage betweenthe two countries was considered.

The statement also dealt with thequestion of Empire-made glucose, andattention was drawn to the suggestionmade by the New York manufacturersthat tho Commission should investigatethe possibility of the British glucosomakers obtaining a continuous supplyof Empire-grown corn before recom-mending a 25 per cent, duty on foreign

1glucose. Jt appeared very doubtful5whether the English manufacturersjwould alwaysbe in a position to certifythat at least 50 per cent, of the costof the finished product had been spent

5 in Great Britain, and in that case glu-icose shipped from Home must unques-t tionablybe taxable.■ DENIAL OP "DUMPING."

An emphatic denial that there had3been any "dumping" by the New York> producers was made in the statement,[ and it was suggested that if British,manufacturers could qualify for pre--1 ference in the event of a duty being, imposed on the foreign article grave3 doubts existed as to whether that wouldt not prejudice New Zealand confection-r cry makers who viewed with alarm tho. possibility of increased costs witk tlso3 imposition of a duty.

CROSSING TRAGEDY

NEGLIGENCE PROVED

CHARGE AGAINST MOTORIST

PORIRUA SMASH

A verdict of guilty, with a strong re-commendation to mercy, was returnedby the jury which heard the chargeagainst Stanley Frank Lincoln at theSupreme Court yesterday of negligentdriving so as to cause death. The Chief

Justice, Sir Michael Myers, remandedLincoln till ■tomorrow morning for sen-tence, and said that in the meantimehe would confer with the Crown Prose-cutor, Mr. P. S. K. Maeassey, andcounsel for the defence, Mr. J. S.Hanna, and would make some inquiriesto see what was the best thing to do."I need hardly say that the fullestconsideration will be given to therider," he told the jury. "It is en-tirely in accord with my own view ofthe matter." The jury retired forthree-quarters of an hour before givingits verdict.

Thecharge arose out of a tragic levelcrossing accident at Porirua, involvingthe death of four of the seven per-sons in the car driven by Lincoln. Thosekilled were the accused's wife, hisfour-year-old daughter, Frances, Mrs.Francis Lena Gaskin, and Miss JuliaMaud Enright.

Mr. Maeassey reviewed the facts con-nected with the tragedy, which occur-red about 6 p.m. on May 21. When re-turning to Palmerston North fromWellington the accused,it was alleged,attempted to drive over the crossingwhile the warning signals were show-ing. His car was struck by a south-bound train from Otaki am" thrownagainst a stationary north-bound trainat the Porirua Station.

Mr. Maeassey said there was no ex-cuse for the accident as far as he couldsee. Thcro was no suggestion that theaccused was incompetentor that he hadhad liquor, but it was alleged that hohad failed to keep a proper look-outand had failed to stop at a compulsorystop.

Senior-SergeantDinnie, of the Crim-inal Investigation Department, pro-duced photographs taken at the sceneof the accident. ___

EYE-WITNESSES' EVIDENCE.Raymond Kankin, a grocer's assist-

ant, said that he stopped at the cross-ing justbefore the smash. He saw thelights of Lincoln's car, which camefrom behind him and drove on to thecrossing at about twenty-five miles perhour. He doscribed the accident as ho|saw it.

In reply to Mr. Hanna, witness saidho was well acquainted with the Pori-rua crossing. He saw the headlightson the down train, but did not remem-ber noticing the headlight of thostationary train. Ho did not rememberhearing the down train whistle.

Harry Holyroyde, oneof the passeng-ers in Lincoln's car, said that tho carwas in good order and condition as faras he could see. The accused drove thocar right up to the Porirua crossing.

i Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln and tho eldergirl were in tho front seat. Witnessdid not remember anything after leav-ing tho Hutt Road.

Kenneth Alister Brennan, a railwayporter at Porirua, said ho was on dutyat the time of tho smash. Ho heardtho train whistle twice before enteringthe station—a fairly long blast when itwas about 300 yards out, followed bya shrill blast. When heheard the secondblast he looked at the train, which wasnear the cattle stop. The next minutea car drove on to the line, and wascaught by the train. Tho car wastravelling at about twenty-five milesper hour. The train pulled up in a vanlongth over its own length, which wasvery good under tho conditions. Fromwitness's observations a motorist com-ing from Wellington would bo able tosec a down-coming train when he wasabout sixty-five ya,rds from the cross-ing. Tho only skid marks he saw wereabout 18in to 2ft in length, and showedthat the brakes had not been applieduntil almost the moment of impact. ■

To Mr. Hanna, he said that the head-lights on tho stationary train weredimmed.

John Henry Cornwell, tho engine-driver on tho down train, said thatthere were motor headlights showingas the trairi entered the station, but hecould not see a 'car approaching. Thefirst he saw of the car was when itcame into the headlights of the engineand struck the engine justas it reachedthe cattle stop. Tho headlight on thestationary train appeared to be out.

Cross-examined by Mr. Hanna wit-ness said that there was some sort of alighton tho stationary engine, althoughtha headlight was out. The crossingwas very narrow,being only about 18ftfrom cattle stop to cattle stop.

ACCUSED'S EVIDENCE.The accused said that he was a

butcher living at Palmerston North.He detailed his movements on the dayin question, saying that he had no in-toxicating liquor of any description.Tho first he remembered after leavingthe Hutt Road to go up the Ngahau-ranga Gorge was sitting up against afence with someone holding hisshoulders. He was in hospital forabout nine weeks. He described hisinjuries. He had been driving a motor-car about 10 years and had driven toWellington and back three or fourtimes.

To Mr. Maeassey, witness said thathe knew there was a compulsory stopat the Porirua crossing. He could notremember seeing the crossing lights,nor could ho remember seeing the lightsof the cars on the other side of therailway line, or of tho stationary earon the Wellington side of the line.

COUNSEL'S ADDRESS.Addressing the jury, Mr. Hanna re-

ferred to the accused's experience asa driver which'made him fully com-petent to undertake the trip from Pal-merston North to Wellington, thoughlie was not particularly familiar withthe locality in which the accident oc-curred. In the present case therewere none of the features wlich wereso ofton present in negligent drivingproceedings. The accident was whollyinexplicable, though a number of pos-sible explanations could be advanced.It was justouc of those accidents whichhad occurred from time to time in thepast and would continue to occur atlevel crossings in the future. ThoPorirua crossing was a particularly dan-gerous one, and he submitted that theCrown had not provedthat the accidentwas due to negligence on the part ofthe accused.

Mr. Maeassey did not address thejury.

In his summing up the Chief Justicedefined tho term negligence and saidthat although the accused knew thatthere was a compulsory stop at thocrossing he proceeded to negotiate thecrossing at 25 miles per hour."It does not matter whether it was

25 m.p.h.or 15 m.p.h.,"said his Honour,"but if that is not negligence I don'tknow what is. You have been toldthat the locality was well lit; ho couldsee the lights of cars approaching himand going the same way, but ho failedto keep the look-out which it was hisduty as a reasonable person to keep."

While awaiting sentence Lincoln wasadmitted to bail on his own recogni-sance.

WANGANUI, This Day.The annual conference of the As-

sociated Chambersof Commerceopenedthis morning.

The Mayor (Mr. N. G. Armstrong)welcomed the delegates, and Mr. J. I.Luke (Wellington) replied on behalfof tho visitors.

The report of the executive broughtforth a discussion, in which Mr. W.Machin (Canterbury) took strong ex-ception to the following clause:—"Thoaction of the Government later in in-terfering with the rate of exchange in-voked throughout the country an ex-pression of disapproval seldom beforeexhibited. The action was doubly de-plorable because the executive of theassociation, in an endeavour to assistthe Government to deal with present-day problems, had a. short time beforeoffered the services of a committee ofthe association to co-operate with thoGovernment." Mr. Machin contendedthat some members did not agree thatthe action of the Government in rais-ing the rate of exchange was deplor-able.

Mr. L. A. Paish, British Trade Com-missioner,referring to the increased ex-change in a subsequent address, saidhe would not express an opinion as totho desirability or otherwise of theGovernment's action, but he said thatNew Zealandors should not criticisethe Government out of the -countrywhen writing to friends in tho OldCountry. They should tell the storythat the Government was justified inits action, and do all they could to im-prove the relations between the twocountries.

iMr. H. H. Sterling, addressing theconference,said he anticipated that theannual report of the Railways Boardwould be released at the end of thisweek. It would show that passengertickets issued during the past year in-creased by 347,000. Not only had theboard's experiment shown an improvedfinancial position, but a better serviceto the public had been provided.

"MICRO-WAVES"IN PRACTICAL USE

AIR MINISTRY'S NEWSTATION

(Received October 26, 1 p.m.)LONDON, October. ?%

After prolonged secret tests in theuse of "micro-wave" wkqlcss, the Air,Ministry has opened a wonder wirelessstation ati Lympe. It transmits l-7>5centimetre signals, using "aerials"only an inch long. The signals . arefocused in a beam and received at theSt. Ingelvert aerodrome, in France,where another transmitter has been in-stalled, enabling two-way wireless con-versation to be carried on. Weather re-ports can be instantly exchanged to as-sist aviation. This is one of the firstpractical applications of "micro-waves. ''

Broadcast listeners familiar with thefact that 300 metre transmissions cor-respond with 1000 kilocycles are apt tobe staggered in faco of such frequen-cies as 2,000,000 kilocycles, which'thesignals described in this messagenearlyapproach. Much research of great inter-est has been carried on lately in con-nection with very short waves, some ofthem far shorter than 17.5 centimetres.Entirely new forms of apparatus havebeen made to generate the waves: someare produced actually within the oscil-lating valves by a system of circulat-ing electrons.. Such short waves ■be-have very differently from the longerones used in ordinary transmissions,and are in some respects comparablewith light. It has been generally ac-cepted that they can only be used forsignalling between stations actually insight of each other, but recently Mar-coni has demonstrated that they canbe used over considerably greater dis-tances.

THE RESERVE BANK

AND POLITICAL CONTROL

MORE HARM THAN GOOD

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

WANGANUI, This Day.The proposals embodied in the Re-

serve Bank Bill were sharply criticisedby the president of the AssociatedChambers of Commerce(Mr. A. S.Bur-gess) in Ms address to delegatesattend-ing tho annual conference today.■ "When the recommendation was firstmade for the establishment of this Re-serve Bank it was stressed very strong-ly that such a bank must be absolutelyfree from political control," he. said."Now what do we find? In the Billbefore the House,of the ten directors,sis, including the governor and deputygovernor, are Government nominees.Originally it wasrecommended that ad-vances to the Government should belimited to one-quarter of tho estimatedannual State revenues, and it is now jproposed to increase it to one-half, thatis just double the amount recommended.

"Again, it was proposed that anyprofit made by the Central Bank fromthe taking over of the gold reserve*was to be credited to the trading banksor be apportioned between, those banksand the Reserve Bank. In the Billbefore the House this was altered sothat-any profit made is to go to thepublic account."It looks as if the Government is

providing in this way, for the huge lossinvolved, from the high exchange rate,and this grab would be an easyway toliquidate this loss. Surely no saneperson would attempt to say that, aReserve Bank as nowproposed would befree from political influence, and if itis not then considerably more harmmay result than good."

GAMING AMENDMENT

V.M.C.A. OPPOSITION

lii connection with the private Billto amend tho Gaming Act (1908) nowbefore Parliament, the general secre-tary of the Wellington V.M.C.A. hasforwarded the following communicationto the Prime Minister (the Kt. Hon.G. W. Forbes)):—^""I am directed to express to you the

concern of this association in that dur-ing tho present period of economicstress and difficulty, Parliament _iscalled upon to debate a measure which,if "passed, is calculated to extend thegambling evil in the Dominion? Thisassociation's interest is naturallyin thewelfare of youth, and it is felt thatany increase in the facilities for bet-ting, especially along tho lines pro-posed by the Bill, would provide theopen door for gambling on the partof young people. The mere handlingof betting telegrams on the part ofjunior employees would be a menacehi itself. It is felt very strongly thatthe gambling associations of horse rac-ing, if tolerated at all, should be con-fined to the racecourse and certainlynot permitted to obtrude themselvesupon the public mind, either throughtbp Press or in any other way."I am directed to respectfully draw

your attention to the fact that thereare conditions in evidence among outyouth today which render it imperativethat the Government, and indeed Par-liament as a whole, should take everymeans of protecting our young peopleanil of providing them with the op-portunities for true character develop-ment and good citizenship. The pass-ing of this Bill, we feel sure, will boa step in the opposite direction andwould have tlie effect of popularisinggambling and its attendant evils."

HIGH EXCHANGECAUSE OF THE QUOTAA CONTRIBUTING FACTOR

THE COMMERCIAL VIEW

(By Telegraph.)(Special to the "Evening Port.")

WANGANUI, ThisDay."There is no doubt that the condition*

brought about by the action, of theGovernment in increasing the rate ofexchange, while it may not have beenresponsible for the origination oJL theproposals for quotas on our dairy pro-duce, has been a contributing factorin the.British farmers getting together,for the purpose of guarding their owninterests in view of the advantagegained by New Zealand producers in.tho British market through the depre-ciation of New Zealand currency," said.Mr. A.

"The Associated Chambers of .Com-merce has fought interference by, Gov-ernment with the rate of: exchangebecause that action was au. interferencewith economic laws, and was not ivthe best interests of the whole ;of thepeople; and the executive has notaltered its view in that respect," saidMr. Burgess. "The endorsement by theHouse of Representatives of Govern-ment policy in this matter is not, in thiscase a true reflectionof the opinion of thecountry, and it is quite evident thatthe primary producers themselves ar^not by any means unanimous on thissubject, and the evidence of the dis-location of trade is still manifest iathe figures covering imports."

BENEFIT TO FARMERS

GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED

Support for the Governmentin' main-taining the pegged exchange .rate "a»long'as conditions remain as at pre-sent" was given bythe Dominion execu-tive of the New Zealand farmers'Union in terms of a North Canterbury;remit passed last evening.: ■ ■ " ; .

"We battled for this and-we shouldsupport the Government," said Mr. H.E-. Blyde (North Taranaki) when theremit was under discussion. Since thattime, ho continued, they had "kind ofrested on the oars" and allowed theGovernmentto become thebutt of much,criticism from other sections of th«community. The farmers had undoubt-edly benefited by the action, of theGovernment in this respect, and itwas due jto the Government that theyshould give their support and show-that they were wholeheartedly behindthe Government.

Mr. Doyle (Hawke's Bay), said lieregarded the matter as purely a.poli-tical question at the present time. "Ifwe go supporting the Government,".headded, "we are acting ultra vires-ofthe association." . " : .

Mr. E. H. Murney (Otago): Iwouldn't put that interpretation, onit. ' " ■ ■ . . ■ "- . .

MivL. Hammond (Wellington):'.W«criticise them in some things.

QUESTION OF ALTERATION.Another North Canterburyremit.sug-

gested that in order to allay uncer-tainty as to how and when the. pre«sent exchange arrangements would b»altered, a definite system should be de-vised and embodied in an Act of Par*Uament. ...'"'', Mr. Hammond said he thought thairemit was on the right lines. Hegathered that the.point behind it'wasthat no alteration, should be broughtin in the middle of the producing sea-son. , . . ■

Mr. H. E. Blydo (North Taranaki)'said his view was that because of theuncertainty credits were piling up in,London. .-....,..-....

"I think something should be done,''said Mr. E. J. Betts (South Taranaki),"and that something definite should baput out so that importers of this coun?try will know that this exchange ratsis on for a very definite period; snthat they won't be fearing that it willbe taken off at short notice and won'tbe caught."

Further discussion" of the remit Tvatdeferred.

LAND AGENTS' FEES

LIMIT PROPOSED

BILL IN UPPER HOUSE

The Land Agents' Amendment Bill,which proposes,to limit tho commissioncharges of land agents to a percentageof the equity of the property sold, wastho subject of a discussion,on th«second-reading stage in the LegislativeCouncil yesterday afternoon. The Billis being sponsored by the Hon. R. Me-Callum.

The Hon. C. J. Carrington said thatMr. MeCallum had shown antagonismtowards the land agents, who had agood record. As far as Court proceed-ings were concerned, land agents com-pared favourably with other profession?.

Mr. McCallum: It is not a professionat all.

Mr. Carrington said that under tliaBill there would be no inducement fotagents to sell property. The commis-sions charged for the sale of property;were contained in the sale of authority)which the vender had to sign. Therewere certain cases in which it appearedthat injustices had been done, but insuch instances the Keal Estate Institute,if appealed to, would rectify the posi-tion.

The Hon. D. Buddo said that it woulclbe better to leave the law as it ■was,because the Bill did not seem to beany improvement and might give riseto difficulties.

The Leader of the Council (the Hon.Sir James Parr) said that his experi-ence was that since land agents hadbecome incorporated, their calling wasas respectable as any other. There wcioblack sheep, but they were present inevery other calling. It was always openfor two people to make a contract. Ifvenders paid what seemed to bo largficommissions,to some extent it was theirown look-out. If the commission wnsrestricted to the amount of the equity,there would be little encouragement forthe land agent, and there would be areaction to the disadvantage of thovender. Tho Bill would strike a mostserious blow at the land agents' busi-ness.

In reply, Mr. McCallum said that itwas not possible for the vender to makea bargain, as the land agents wouldnot go below the scale of fees. If therewas no equity in a property, then whowould want to buy it? In fact whenaproperty had no equity it had already,been bought and paid for by the mort-gagee. - .

The Bill was read a second time andreferred to the Statutes Revision Com-mittee.

PARLIAMENTTODAY'S PROCEEDINGS

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVESTho House of. Representatives met

at 2.30 p.m. today.Notice of his intention to introduce

the Family Allowances AmendmentBill was given by Mr. W. E. Barnard(Labour, Napier).

Mr. E. T. Tirikatcuc (Independent,Southern Maori) intends to introducethe Electoral Amendment Bill.

IMPREST SUPPLY BILL.in Imprest Supply Bill was intro-

duced by Governor-General's Message.Mr. W. E. Parry (Labour, Auckland

Central) referred to" the unemploymentproblem and said the Government had Jfailed to deal with the problem. Hecriticised tho administration of unem-ployment and said that undue sufferingwas being imposed on the people.-When men went to the Labour Bureauthe third degree was put oil them.The state of- affairs at the present timewas little short of a scandal. Howllong did tho:Prime Minister thinkthat the -unemployed men and womenof New Zoaland wore going to bosatisfied with the left-off clothing oftho rest, of the community? How longwere the people going to stand for theslavo camps, which wore little shortof criminal incubators? Young menwere marshalled and herded togetherin camps without supervision.

Mr. A. Stnart (Government, Eangi-tikei): Some of them would rather goto the camps than work for a farmer.

Labour members: No wonder.There was more unemployment in

Now Zealand todaythan ever'there was,said Mr. Parry. Not only were theunemployed being forced to work fora mere pittance, but now the Govern-ment was trying to foist piecework onto them.

Mr. Parry said if the Governmenthad the necessary determination itcould improve tho lot of the reliefworker in a couple of weeks. "If Iwas a relief worker today," said Mr.Parry, '.'I would be a source of con-siderable annoyance to tho Govern-ment."

A Governmentmember: Youare thatnow."' (Laughter.)

"I am not going to knuckle downto this sort of thing for another twoyears," said Mr. Parry. "I will prob-ably have to do a bit of a term ingaol, but I won't mind that. I didn'tshirk it before, ad Ihope Iwon't shirkit again. I don't like it, but I won'tshirk it." - - .

The Leader of the Opposition (J\. M.,T. Savage) said it was impossible forrelief workers to-earn their salt,on theTates at present paid. If the men re»fused to accept the rates they were-debarred from receiving wy reliefwork.: He moved tho following amend-ment:'—

This House records its regret thatthe Government has failed to deal ef-fectively with the question of unem-ployment which is causing so fuuchdestitution and distress. It expressesdisapproval of the present ' reliefwork system, and strongly condemnsthe proposal to introduce pieceworkto jobs carried on under relief workschemes. It further expresses theopinion that the time has arrived forapplying standard wages and condi-tions to,allrejief work. ■

CYCLING "BREAK"

NEW BODY SUPPORTEDTO REMOVE- DISSENSION

The. announcement was made at ameeting of the Wellington Cycling Cen-tre this week that a branch of the NewZealand League of Amateur Wheelmenwas to be formed in Wellington, and,after discussion on the project, it wasdecided unanimously that the centreshould support the movement.

Included in the correspondence was aJcttcr from tho Wellington AthleticCentre pointing out that tho Welling-ton 'Cycling Centre,,theNew ZealandCycling Council, and the New ZealandCycling Federation had not been actingconstitutionally in tho exchange of cor-respondence. The mooting decided,therefore, that the notice from tho NewZealand Council to the effect thatPapa'nui Club members were not eligiblefor last Saturday's Palmerston.

Mr. A. A. Nattrass, who is interest-ing himself, in the latest "breakaway"movement, writes .to "The Post" in anendeavour to enlist support for whatlie regards as an honest attempt to putthe sport of cycling, on a satisfactoryfooting/ "For some years now," hewrites, "there has been trouble, dissen-sion, and strife among tho amateureycljstH. in' New Zealand, starting firstin Auckland, later spreading to Wel-lington, and later still to Christehurch,Largely because the cyclists were notunited and also boeauso of lack of orga-nisation and support, the trouble hasnever died down, nor has the breachbeen healed.

UNEMPLOYMENTLITTLE HEADWAY MADE

EMPLOYERS' VIEWS

LINES OF INQUIRYUnfortunatoly there has been no im-

provement in the unemployment situa-tion, states the annual report of theNew Zealand Employers' Federation.Tho numbors registered have remainedfairly constant, with a tendency to in-crease, and the methods of dealingwiththe problem adopted by tho Unemploy-ment Board arc unchanged except inmatters of detail.

After referring to the representa-tions made by the federation to theGovernment against the 40-hour weekon -work under the building subsidyscheme) and by some members againstthe wholesale purchase of commoditiesfor distribution to relief workers, thereport continues:—

"We hnvo no wish to do other thanpay a tribute to the members of theUnemployment Board for their un-tiring devotion,to their task; they aredoing a very difficult job and there islittle precedent io guide them. At thesame time wo thiuk it necessary topoint out that nothing is being done toassist in bringing about anything intho nature of a solution of the prob-lem. To provide large nu.mbers of menwho are' unable to find employmentwith some means of sustenance is anact which we must all approve. Thopublic conscience- would permit of noless being done, and it must also berecognised that such expenditure addßto the spending power of the.peopleand so assists trade. More than that isrequired, however; and "if the Unem-ployment Board is fully occupied withits special function of providing andregulating sustenance payments wesuggest that it might be mad© thespecial duty of some other body tostudy the problem from another angle,that of stimulating employment in pro-ductive industry. In the meantime thisorganisation should set itself in uncom-promising opposition to any violationof sound principles of economics in thecarrying out of palliative measures."

Commenting upon the building subs-idy scheme,it is remarked that thereare large numbers of people who canafford to spend money on building workand who require that,work, but refrainfrom having it done until a bait in theform of a free gift out of tho fundssubscribed for the relief of unemploy-ment is offered them,

PROBLEM OF DISTRIBUTION. ,"In connection with this problem, of

employment and Unemployment certainfacts aro beginning to crystallise out,"the report continues. "It is now- recog.nised that in times of increasing pro»duction there must be an improvementof the general standard of living in.order to secure, the consumption of theincreased production. That is so ob-viously true that it needs no argu«inent, but the.world has experienced awidespread lowering of the standard ofliving at a time when the productivityof ;tho world would have fully support-ed an improvement. The problem ittherefore rather one of distributionthan of production.■ "Again, it is probably true that sub-ject' only to devising means of distri-bution, tho world is now in a positionto supply, its whole, population withwhat they need in commodities with a'much-less requirement.oi.manual labourthan ever before. .There is increasingsupport for the theory .that shorterworking hours would cause a largernumber of the world's potential work-ers to be employed. ■ ■ .:"A special session of the governingbody of the International Labour Officeat Genevaw?asheld last September, andalthough no final agreement wasreached the subject of hours of workhas become a vital issue for the nestfull Conference/ ...'..'.

"A quotation from .'British .Indus-tries, March, 1033,' of a speech de-livered by Sir Harold Bowden; a well-known British manufacturer, indicatesthe present trerid of thought very well.It is as follows:—. ..' "..We are ,not yet ■ in. sight of thetechnocratic sixteen-ho.ur working, week (he says), but there is neveragain going to be full-time work forall. Pensioned leisure is the prob-lem of tho near future, and if weare to plan ahead and not, ashitherto, muddle blindly along, thesematters will have to be> taken inhand by industry itself, managersand workers in concert. ... In myview, it is inevitable that a mtn'sworking life will in future "beshortened, that the limits of hi« in-dustrial activity will become coter-minous with the period of his. greatest efficiency, that a far greaterportion of-his life will be spent inthe enjoymentof tholeisure won forhim by the. machine. The sooner w*recognise that brain-power, usingmachinery and method, has .oustedphysical manpower, the sooner weshall work out a means of placingthe plenteous wealth that man canproduce afcthe service of 'humanity.

AMERICAN EXPERIMENT."Tho problem is to devise means of

adapting the organisation of industryto the present-day conditions, many ofwhich are as yet- scarcely understood.America is trying the experiment ofshorter hours. Of all tho nations ofthe world she is the one best able tomake the trial alone, and regardlessof other nations because she is theleast' dependent upon outside trade. Inthat respect New; Zealand is at theopposite extreme, and for the othermore important industrial countries itwould appear to be possible to bringabout a definite shortening of work*ing hours only by an InternationalConvention, because no country canafford to put its costs up by compari-son with those of other countries withwhich it trades. *"It may be that the principal in-dustrial countries will reach some suchunderstanding in the near future. Itis encouraging that the .problem is re-ceiving close study and that leadingindustrialists are devoting -themselvesto it. '. , ■ .

In the meantime IS'ew Zealand can>not experiment in any way whichwill increase industrial costs. "Wechu only wait developments and beready to come into lino, with othercountries when decisions on this im-portant question are reached.FEDERATION'S SUGGESTIONS."It will'bo seen from this general

survey that the steps taken by NewZealand to meet her economic ditßeul-ties so far have been akin to the ac-tion of a practically bankrupt personreducing his expenditure in order tobring it within the remnants of his in-come. : Can this federation give a leadas to further active measures to be un-dertaken to improve our-position? Wemake the following suggestions'.—- :

1. That careful consideration begiven to the provision in New Zea-land of some legal authority for theformation of trade associations hay-ing for their object the eliminationof wasteful trade practices, withpower to enforce compliance withdecisions of the majority concernedin any case. It would be essentialthat the result of the operation ofany such associations should be togei- down costs and to pass th« re-duction pxL-totlie-(iaram.uSit^, itiks

effect were to eliminate competition|and so putupprices it would be muchbetter to allow the present unre-strained competition to continue.; 2. That as every additional per-

son placed on the* land means an in-crease in the volume of our exportsand as production i'rom land, at anyrate for some years to come, will in-crease more rapidly than our capa-city to. consume it, an expansion ofour overseas markets is essential,and subject to the requirements ofa revenue tariff and to reasonableprotection of such manufacturing in-dustries as may be carried on success-; fully in New Zealand without undueprotection, every effort should iemade to further stimulate trade be-tween this Dominion, Great Britain,and the other portions of tho Em-pire.

3. That the adoption by tho Gov-ernment of a modified Public Workspolicy under which work will bedone which will later become assetsfor the eounti-y and that such workbe financed by internal loans begiven consideration. (Note—There isyet much roading required in NewZoaland, apart from main highways;there are many small towns with nodrainage systems and no water sup-ply. Such works would be prefer-able to mneh that has been recentlyundertaken by local bodies in theform of relief work. Productivework is most desirable.)

4. That this federation sot up aresearch committee to devote itselfto the study of current problems ofwhich the present most urgent oneis how to convert Our thousands ofunemployed into useful productive■ citizens taking their full part in theeconomic life of the Dominion."Anyone who has seen anything of

the relief works being carried on to-day in the vicinity of the cities mustrealise what a ghastly farce they are.There must be some- means by whichthese unfortunate men can (1) betrained and brought to a state of phy-sical fitness; (2) taught how to per-form some work of use to the com-munity; (3) put to work in some use-ful capacity."It isremarked in conclusion.,that the

suggestions made are not put forwardas being in the slightest degree con-clusive, but to stimulate thought andto give a lead.

STRAIGHT TALKING

LEGALISED HARDSHIPS

TRUST COMPANIES' DIFFI-CULTIES

(Sp**ti to tta "Cvmini Pott.")

x AUCKLAND, This Day.Mr. V. J, Lamer, chairman of the

Guardian Trust, Auckland, speaking atthe annual meeting today referred tothe present difficulties of trust com-panies, and he first referred to the newbusiness done by the trust for the yearof £1,875,126, or more than twice theamount, of the previous year, andpointed out that asset* under adminis-tration and control of the companyamounted to £11,638,728.

«Th* year," he said, "has been aparticularly difficult one foi- the rea-lisation of properties, but in spite ofthis assets realised or transferred tobeneficiaries amounted to £609,285,leaving a. net increase of £1,305,841in tho assets under administration.

"The- experience of trust companiesnot only in New Zealand but also inAustralia shows that the difficulties andcomplexitiesof trusteeship* are steadilyinereasinjj," ' Mr.' Lamer continued.MNofc only i« this due to the economicposition, tmt'baa: been greatly accen-tuated by the pairing of legislativeenactments aitfe«ting trustee securities.Thte isparticularly so as regards mort-gage, investments, and the position hasnow been reached where investors withample fundi hesitate to lend on mort-gage securities of any kind. Mortgageshave always been essentially a trusteeform of investment, and in the Legis-lature's endeavour to protect the in-terests of mortgagors there is no ques-tion but that considerable hardshiphas been created for widows andorphani who are dependent on the in-come received from such securities.

"The uncertainty that hat beencreated by perhaps well-intentionedlegislation has also reacted disastrouslyfor the borrower. The Guardian Com-pany with its Isrge resources has donemuch t» alleviate the hardships whichhave occurred.''

The company's experience, ho said,was at one with thatof other trust com-panies inasmuch as that during timessuch as these the greater,was tho in-crease in business, the less profitableit was for the time being. This wasdus to the fact that in order to avoidsacrifice, realisations on which the com-pany drew commission had to bo keptat a minimum, and far more super-vision *nd work was entailed in thocollection of rents and interest thanwhen times were good and such pay-ments Were made as a matter of course.

PROMISING OPENING

LAMB AND MUTTON

PRICE LIMITS MORE ELASTIC

(Special to tho "Eveninfl Post.") iMASTEKTON, This Day.- 'Prom a vender's point of view tho

snle of fat stock, held at the CartertonShow Groundsyesterday in conjunctionwith -the Wairarapa Show, was themost satisfactory for the past two orthree years. .The quality of the stockoffered was good, and the prices forboth fat lambs and fat sheop were wellin advance of ruling market rates.

The demand for fat lambs was par.ticularly keen, and the 64 peas' offeredwere all disposed of under the hammer,Tliougli bidding was not animated, com-petition'throughout was quietly steady.Export firms were tho. principal opera-tors, and it was early evident thattheir limits were far more elastic thanthey have been forsomo tinie. Pricesfor' pens of thrco ranged from 828,to34s per lamb, and the' average price oftho 192 lambs sold was about 25s..Lastycai*, when in spite of tho uniformquality of the offering passings werenumerous,, prices ranged-.from 7a-to 20s,The top price of the sale for lambs,345, was paid by Messrs. T. Borthwickand Sons for a fine first-prize winningpen offered on account of the PapawaiKaikokirikiri Estate. Tho lambs 'of-fered would average about J33lb, andthe prices realised would give an ave-rage of from 9d to 9Jd a lb. Eat sheepalso sold well, prices ranging from 15sto 275. There wero no passings, andthe demand was fairly sustained. Onan average tho prices received fpr fatlambs ana fat sheep were.from 10s to12s in adyance of those of last year.

PROSPECTSFOR SEASON.Much as quotas are in the air at

present where the oversea marketing ofproduce is concerned,there appears tobe no great danger of any embarrassingrestrictions being imposed on the meatexport trade\ of the Dominion duringthe soason now opening.

So far as lamb and mutton, are con-cerned, th» opinion is held in somewell-informed . quarters that Britainmay rather have overdone tbv the timebeing the imposition of quota restric-tions on imports from the Argentine,In connection with the Ottawa Agree-ment, progressive restrictions are being-imposed on British meat exports fromArgentina. Tho incroased scope thusafforded for Empire trade is, of course,welcomed most heartily, but it is sug-gested that it would bo a pity if pricesin Britain were forced up to a boomlevel from which, they must ultimatelyreact.- A steady, useful price is what,18 wanted. A boom would be Of nouse to anybody in this country, leastof all to the small fanner whose ewesin these circumstances would cost himtoo much.

While there are possible dangers ofthis kind, tho immediate outlook forexports of New Zealand lamb and mut-ton is decidedly promising. The open-ing price for the season for lamb inthis district—9d a lb—was well main-tained at the Carterton Show sale, ad-mittedly for special stock. The priceto be obtained for the flush of theseason's output of lamb has yet to bedetermined, but there is evory prospectthat it will be a reasonably good one,and that an assured market will beavailable for the whole of the season'skillings. At the present -rato pf ex-change,and with wool and pelts at theirpresent prices, lamb at a given pricein England is worth slightly more tothe farmer here in New Zealand cur-rency. In the conditions stated, the ad-vantage- of exchange rather-more-thancovers costs from farm to overseamarket.

BEEF MARKET.According to what information is)

available, no difficulties are likely toarise.in. finding a market in Britainfor the New Zealand frozen beef avail-able for export during the comingseason. The fairly considerable quan-tity of beef now held in store probablywill all be shipped by the early partof next year, and it is anticipated thatthis held-over beef, together with kill-ings for the current season, will notexceed the amount Britain can takefrom New Zealand. It, of course,affects the position that last season'skillingsof beef for export in this coun-try doubled those of the previousseason. This necessarily must affectthe quantities-that can be-killed forexport in the period now lying ahead.

ENAMELLED WARE

An error appeared ■in our report ofthe evidence given by Mr. E. A. Batt,managing director of Edward A. Battand Co.,"'before the Tariff Commissionon Tuesday. Ourreport stated that Mr.Batfc "gaveevidence in regard to Judgebrand of enamelled ware. He asked,that decided preference be given toSwedish enamolled ware over similarproducts of foreign manufacturers us-ing wholly foreign materials," WhatMr. Batt urged was that the TariffCom-mission should not favourably considergiving preference to Swedish enamelledware as requested by a previous wit-ness on the ground that Swedish enamelware was made partly of British rawmaterial. Mr. Batt pointed out thatany such concession would probablyhave a very far-reaching effect by part-ly or entirely destroying-the preferencethat it is dosired to give British manu-facturers. "It seems quite obvious,"he said, "that i<: foreign manufac-turers purchase British raw materialsthey do so for the reason that they aresuperior ami/or cheaper thaa fromother sources of supply." He furtherstated that British manufacturers .pro-duce'different-grades of enamel" waresuitable for all requirements, and thatJudge ware, which he (Mr. Batt) re-presented, complied in every way withBritish and New Zealand Governmentrequirements, being entirely free fromantimony and deleterious substances in-jurious to health

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH

80 YEAKS OF SERVICE

A MOTHER OF CHURCHES

| (Contributed.)An event of much historical and senti-

mental interest to Wellington Presby-terians, and indeed to Church peoplegenerally, is the eightieth anniversaryof .the foundation of St. John's Church,Willis Street. The occasion will becelebrated on Sunday next, October 29,and it is appropriate to recall at thistime some of the facts connected witha church which was founded in thoearly days of Wellington, and whichhas exercised a wide and beneficent in-fluence during the whole period of itsexistence.

Founded in 1853, St. John's hasalways commanded the unstinted ser-vice of devoted ministers, office-bearers,and members,,and in. the wideningyears it has gained an honoured placein the list of parent churches in NewZealand.

THE NAME OF ST. JOHN'S.It is ono of the peculiarities of its

history that thore is no official recordof the formal ndoption of the name ofSt. John's. Originally known, as the"Froe Church of Wellington" (thename arising out of its Scottish affilia-tions), it was later called "The Willis

'Street Presbyterian Church." It wasnot until 1872, or nineteen years afterits foundation, that the present namewas adopted. There was no flourishof trumpets or sonorous resolution toannounce the change. The records ofthe Church Sessionand the Presbyteryitself are silent, save that the minutesof a Session meeting in August, 1872,refer to the "Presbyterian Church inWillis Street," while those of the nextmeeting, held in the following month,are dated "St. John's Church." Prob-ably the SessionClerk Vad simply in.ccrporated in his minutes what in thopassing of time had become the ac-cepted name—and St. John's it has re-mained. ' -In common with other -churches;,. ofthe early ,days/. St.- John?s passedthrough the fire of trials and tribula-tions—and in a very real sense too,Services were commenced in November,1853, in a building known as theAthenaeum, situated "on the Beach,"as L'ambton Quay was called. The erec-tion of a church in Willis Street wascompleted in August, 1856, and thishumble building was replaced .by alarger and more pretentious edifice in1875,the foundation-stone being laid bythe Marquis of Normanby, Governor ofthe Colony. Disaster followed in 1884,when the nincyear-old church was de.stroyed by fire. Stout hearts werethere,to mount "the stey brae," andthe foundation-stone of the presentbuildingwas laid by Sir JamesPrender-gast,- Chief Justice, in May, 1885, thochurch' being opened in December ofthe same year. St. John's still occu-pies this fine position in Upper WillisStreet, with its attendant parish build-ings for its various church organisa-tions, including Sunday schools andBible-classes.

FOUR MINISTERS.Four ministers have occupied the

pulpit of. St. John's, all men of piety,learning, and distinction, whose viewsand,actions ware not bounded by merodenominational limits. Each has beenan influence and a power in the com-munity, working with an ideal for thogood of the people at large as well asfor the Church and faith' of theirfathers. The successive ministerswere:—The Key. John Moir, 1853-1867';tho'-Rev. James Paterson,1868-1903;the■Hoy. Dr. James -Gibb,. 1903-1926, andthe present pastor, the Eev. J.. R.Blanchard, who succeeded Dr. Gfibb.Each of these ministers experienced theinexpressible satisfaction of being sur-rounded and supported by office-bearerswho possessed both vision and devotion.The names of early families of St.John's are still represented in the con-gregation down to.the third and fourthgenerations. . . ■

As a mother church, St. John's hassome special claims to distinction, andthere are few congregations of Presby-terians in Wellington which do notfreely acknowledge a debt of gratitudeforearly and timely help. St. Andrew'sis the pioneer Presbyterian Church inWellington, having been . establishedfourteen years earlier than St. John'g,and it possesses the affectionate regardof Presbyterians all over the Dominion.It was followed by St. John's, whichhas sharod tho honour and burden ofplanting the church in the country andsuburban districts of Wellington Prov-ince and city. Office-bearersand mem-bers of St. John's showed much zeal,earnestness, and liberality in providingchurch sites, and in helping both withfinance .and services those

tdistricts

where Church responsibilities werebeing assumed. Many congregationstoday may fittingly declare "Here andthere hath St. John's helped us."Pioneer work from St. John's was donein the early days in the Wairarapa Plainand at Turakina, and there are manysuburban churches now which acknow-ledge with gratitude the help given bythe. Session,officers 'and members,ofSt. John>s. The list of those who werenourished and assisted is a-Jong.one,but it should be sufficient to mentionKilbirnic, Wadcstown, Scatoun, Mira-mar, Island Bay, Brooklyn' Ncwtown,Mitchelltbwn, Kclburn, Eastbourne,Khandallah, and Pliminerton..St. John'shas always taken a friendly interest inthe foundation of 'the .out-stations ofthe church in- the Wellington district,and it is a notable fact that the parentchurch has survived, with undiminishedvigour, the separations from its ownmembership caused by. the successivemovements for expansion. The samemissionary spirit is manifested by itsgeneroussupport of Home and ForeignMissions.

The anniversary services on Sundaywill have a special interest for thosewho have had any association with St.John's, cither past or present. Therearo no members of the old original con-gregation remaining, but there are somewhose membership dates back to theeighties. The venerable patriarch of.the congregation is Mr. W. Hopkirk,who joined in 1876, and has alwaysbeen an enthusiastic and devotedworker in the church.

Raymond was one of the lato SirJohnEuthcrford 's breeding; and he wasscut up for sale by the trustees of theestate in April of last year,- when,hewas purchased, by the trainer, J, JJaw-son, on behalf of his patron, Sir AbeBailey, for the big figure of 4500guineas. At that sale the only horsethat fetched ahigher price was the well-performed Orpen, who had filled placesin the previous year's classics.

Raymond ran second once and thirdonce in three starts as a two-year-oldlast season, and at his first start thisseason ho was second again. He did notfinish m the first dozen in the. TwoThousand Guineas, but at Ms thirdstart for the term ho showed improve-ment to run sixth in the Derby. Afterdisappointing at Ascot ho finally madesome appreciable return to his ownerby winning the valuable Priucess ofWales's Stakes (14 miles), at New-market on Juno 20. He was then re-served for the St. Legcr last month, inwhich ho was sent out third favouriteto Hyperion and Thor 11,but, after be-ing third to Hyperion and SansPeine inmost of the running, he failed to finishcloser- than sixth,.

In Bawke's Bay district lambs are re-ported to be rather backward due, itis .said, to lack ofsunshine and generallyunfavourable weather;but no great quan-tity of lamb 3are offering at the moment.In the Bangitikei district and part ofthe Manawatu lambs are said to be rathermore forward in condition than in theWairfi^apa.

The "Pastoral Review," Sydney, re-ports that September clearances of Aus-tralian lamb were 193,609carcasses, ofwhich 190,896were convert to the UnitedKingdom.

AUSTRALIAN LAMB TRADE

New Zealand's main meat, export isprime .lamb and on that article. it« liijrb.reputation iv the United Kingdom meattrade stands. Mr. L. C. Ballautine, Aus-tralian and New Zealandmanager for Sum-lie] H.Fletcher,of the Smithfield (England)

' meat market, however, had something tosay to Australian producers on this trade.Speaking at Jerilderie, Mr. Ballantine saidhe was pleased to have the opportunity ofmeeting the men who grew the lambs. In

,the last.five or six years rapid improve-ments had been made in lambs in Vie-

' toria and Riverina,due to the introductionof the Downs cross, which produced alamb'short, full of meat, and with legssimilar to the hams .of pigs. The Home

'. market.liked the lambs from Victoria andthe Riverina no. matter what the breed,

1and: they were definitely superior to those, exported from Sydney, South Australia,and. Western Australia. Lambs of theDown cross were entitled to the label, ,"Down," and. that label was usually re-sponsible for an additional Vtd or %d per

1 lb." The best Victorian lamb,was as goodas.the best New Zealand lamb, but therewasa biggapcomparingthe averagelamlJs■ iiom the two places.

The cost of sending a ny^t |grade lambHome, taking a 321b carcass. as a basis,■ and averaging-railfreight, would amount to8s 3%dper head from rail, head to sale at, Home. , The «ale of the skin on, accountof the grower in Australia' Would realise, on-an average3s,6d .per. .head,and therate of exchange proved a benefit of. 5s-4d per head. Therefore, charges were"wiped out by these two factors. Mr.

' B»ll»ntine said he was- definitely of opinjion-tJiat itwas iv the interests of pro-ducers.to shipmeat on their, own account! j

KAWARAU NEW DAM.Mr. T. Ritchie informedAuckland share-

holders in the original Ivawarau Goldmin-ing Co. that under the Kawarau GoldMining Amalgamation Act, JO3O,i>ioyisiouwas made for the whole of the originalclaimholders on the river to join in theamalgamation, and to receive Is fully-paidsnares for the amount they had previouslypaid to the parent, company in respect oftheir claims. Great difficulty had beenexperienced in reviving some of the com-panies interested owing to liquidation.Considerablesuccess had attended the ef-forts of the directors so far. but therewere still a few Auckland claimholderswho possessed rights which they couldtake up as soon as the companies wererevived. "The original claims were for a seven-year lease to a quarter-mile section ofthe river, with provision for a 20 percent, royalty on gold won. The newscheme,however, restored the originalinterests of these claimholders on a share-holding basis,with no further liability toa 34-year lease of 25 miles of the river,which, considering all things, said ; Mr.Ritchie, was well worth while in spite ofthe past disappointments.

The capital of the new company was£250,000,-of which £70,000would he re-quired for the new dam. This would bebuilt" below the junctionof the Arrow andShotover Rivera, thus overcoming thecause of the failure of the original dam,which did.not control the flow of theserivers. ' A sum of £5000was being pro-vided for 'compensation for land floodedand £33.000was being reserved. It wasestimated it would take twelve months toerect'the dam. ' 'DAWN OF HOPE.

" sion by the' Vacuum Company ou the■question of drilling a test well or wellsis required by the agreement to be madebefore the end of August, 1934—unless asubstantial payment is made for an exten-sion of; the option period for a furthertwelve months. The agreement also pro-vides that the Vacuum "Company might,during'the first half of 1933,after exam-ining' the Wuitangi structure and wells,make proposals for drilling in that local-ity on joint account. On May 11, 1933,shareholders were informed that theVacuum Company's geologists had foundit impracticable to satisfactorily assess theprospects of tke Waitangi area in advance1 oftheir general geological- survey of theGisborne-East Coastregion as a whole; Itwas suggested, therefore, that. the Wai-tangi area should be included in the gen-eral arrangement, aeordiug to which theVacuum investigations are directed to-wards locating drilling sites during theoption period expiring in 1934.

Taranaki (N.Z.) -Oilfields holds 13006 per cent.'preference shares of 5s fullypaid and 81,100ordinary shares of 5aqach fully paid in Moturoa Oilfields,Ltd. That company, it is reported, has.produced-more than'400,000imperial gal^lons of oil for the past two years (toOctober 4, 1933). > :

The report includes remarks; .by thegeneral manager, Mr. C. N. Taylor(August 17, 1933) on progress of theVacuum Oil Company's geologists' sur-vey over the company's area.

Arrangements have been made with Dr.1Marsden for a magnetic survey of thecompany's 8000 acre Crown area on theWest Coast of the South Island. Fore-: casts of future operations are not pos-,sible until the geological survey referredto has been completed.

GERY VALLEYCOLLIERIES

REDUCED OUTPUT

.Directors of Grey Valley Collieries,Ltd.,Christchureh,report for the year endedSeptember 30 that the balance transferredfrom,the profit and loss to the appropria-tion account is £12,8242s 9d, which, to-gether with the credit balance of £4046s9d, brought forward from the previousyear, makes a total credit of £13,2289s6d. The directors have made full pro-vision for depreciation and taxation, theseamounts totalling £8000. It is recom-mended that of the remaining balance of£52280s 6d, the sum of £4000be writtenoff disaster loss account (which will thendisappear), £1000to be U6ed for the estab-lishment of a general reserve account, and£228 9s 6d be carried forward to next

year's accounts."In May last, as reported to you over

the chairman's signature, the final dividendof 3 per cent, for the year ended Septem-ber 30, 1930,payment of which had beenwithheld, was actually paid to sharehold-ers. The total amount involved was£3000. In addition, the remaining firstmortgage debentures owing by the com-pany, and totalling £6000,were redeemedin September,so that (provided sharehold-ers approve of the directors' recommenda-tions, as* set forth above), the extraordin-ary liabilities of the companyarising outof the unfortunate disaster of December,3926 (the total cost of which approached£25,000) will be finally eliminated fromthe accounts.

"The output for the year amounted toonly 63,371tons. The continued generaldepression in the coal trade has resultedin the mine being worked on only 116 daysduring the year, or an average of two anda third days a week, as against the fiveday* a week it is equipped and ready towork. The plant and equipmentgenerallyare in good order and condition; they arebeing augmented and improved consist-ently, and provision has been made forfuture developments."

Messrs. C. Chris Davis and F. K.Hogarth,' directors, retire, but are elig-ible and offer themselves for re-election.Messrs. Stewart, Beckett, and Company,auditors also retire, and offer themselvesfor re-election.

World production of rayon in the firstsix months of this year is estimated at128,590 metric tons, compared with 108,303tons in. the first half of 1932. The in-crease of nearly 20 per cent. in.outturn ofan important factor in the textile indus-try shcrws the folly of attempting to- con-trol or -fix the.mice of wool.

FARM BUTTER

PROPOSAL TO STOP SALES

! Consumers of butter in Australia ap-pear to be firmly in the grip of dairyfarmers. The local price is raised bysome pence per pouiid above the pricepaid for Australian butter in England;restrictions are placed on the use of mar-garine as a substitute; and now farm

-butter appears likely to, be attacked. .Amost serious view of the increasing pro-duction of farm, butter in Australia istaken by the chairman of directors ofNorco Co-op., .Ltd. (Mr. J. J. Hayter),who, in an address to New South AValcsfarmers, stressed the menace it repre-sented to the' successfulconduct of thePaterson scheme.

Mr. Hayter said the averagefarmer inthese days knew little of farm butter,there being very little made in the Mur-willumbah district. In a number of otherdistricts, however, it was a considerableindustry, and the representatives of thedairying industry had been compelled torecognise the.production of :farm butteras a serious menace. The butter was madeon the farm, and sold direct to store-keepers.

Certain responsibilities were beingavoided,Mr. Hayter claimed. Those whoproduced farm butter were malingeringonthe dairy farmers'of Australia in general,and the practice would have to stop. Forone thing, the producer of farm butterdid not subscribe to the Paterson scheme,yet hereaped the advantage accruing. Thefactory supplier subscribed l%d to thefund, and got 3d back, but the producerof home butter got the 3d without pay-ing the l%d levy. As the production offarm butter, which already was of seriousproportions, was growing, action wouldhave to be taken.

(who wore a suit ofpeasant blue flecked lainago and a■matching straw hat) jMiss Lowe,presi-dent of the Bound Table Club (whowore a black tailored suit and hat), andMiss Batham, Miss Bethel, and MissLewis, officers of the Bound Tabloclub.' ■*'■'.;

Befreshments were served and a shortmusical programme, including "songs byMiss Ella Fair and violin solos by MissOlga Burton,, was given. ■'* .

Miss Bridgman 'introduced Mrs.McCombs and extended to her warmcongratulations on behalf of tho busi-ness girls. Mrs. Eobert Gardner (presi-dent, of tho Y.W.C.A.) also welcomedMrs. McCombs and wished her

_every

success, expressing a wish that in thenear future women would contest otherelectorates successfully.. " ■ ' ■"I havo tremendous respect for all

business and professional women,"saidMrs. McCombs in replying. "If thereis one thing niore than another lackingabout me, it is a business training. ."I have always respected efficiency

and thoroughness and'what it means incommunity life. Also,", she-continued,"I have found that business womenmake efficient housewives because theyhave trained, minds, and trained mindsare what are wanted, in the commun-ity." ' ' :-■■"■;

Mrs. McCombs's humorous account ofher own entrance into public life waslistened to with interest. She stressedthe influence of' women in tho forma-tion of national opinion.

"In such ah organisationas this," concluded Mrs. McCombs,"you should bo able to develop anum-ber of women who are well equippedto take part in public affairs; If, inyour studies you could take up some-.thingin the, realm,of practical "politicsit would mean a great deal to me whendiscussing a social problem ..' in theHouse. ; I could say: ''I.have a groupof business and professional women be-hind mo in this.'

Caravan holidays are becoming notonly popular but fashionable (statesa London exchange).

She does not us© a motor-drawn caravan, but a horse, and travelsabsolutely alone". -Lady Arthur Gros-venor is another, titledcaravan enthusi-ast. She makes regular.caravan tours.Some motor-drawn caravans are sump-tuous affairs, but the real caravan ex-perts travel modestly and some arewelcome guests at gipsy camps.Italian Fashions.

BEAUTY SLEEPHOW MANY HOURS

Many women nowadays complainthat they "sleep badly." There may,of course, be some* health reason's forthis that medical treatment will putright, but more often than not the "badsleepers" bring the trouble on them-selves (states Joan Beringer in a Lon-don paper. ._ Women have not got tho masculinefaculty of worrying at the right timeand at no other. And they can rarelyshake off"their worries at night. Theconsequence is that.their digestive ap-paratus is affected, and with it thequality and necessary quantityof sleep.This bring.us to. the vexed questionof how many hours' sleep are necessaryfor health and beauty. Anything fromfive to ten'hours has been argued asbeing the, minimum. It 'is a question,]of'course, that is impossible to. .answer"for every one. ' Individuals' vary. .!The man or woman who is highly"strung, nervy, and active of brain re-quires, but very seldom gets, more sleepthan the man of woman of lethargictemperament. Nervy women should re-member that dream-ridden and restlesssleep is not the best kind of rest, andmako up for it by allowing themselvesextra time in bed." They need anextrahour at least in which to get theirbrains and nerves calmed and to allowfor the fact that the periods duringwhich they are enjoying deep.sieep(theonly sleep that really heals) are pro-bably about half those of the "goodsleeper."

The woman whey sleeps too heavilyshould limit herself. If she is Bure ofseven hours' dreamless sleep this shouldbo ample, and, as the systematicallygood sleeper is often of the lethargictypo that puts on flesh, the extra hourshe gains on the average of eight hourswould be well employed ,in doing a"daily dozen," playing an early gameof tennis or squash, or jn taking abrisk walk. . . ."A CONTENTED EXPRESSION."To ensure a real beauty sleep, see

that the bed is not too soft and does;not sag in the middle. It should havothe head and not the side to the wall.The clothes should be lightj the newporous blankets being ideal becansothey give ample warmth with the mini-mum of weight." Throw aside thatbolster or second pillow, and sleep asnearly flat as possible. ,-.■■"

Before "going off," and again beforerising, consciously stretch the muscles.Start at the base of the neck and fol-low right through the body down tothe feet. Then relax, consciously, thoneck, arms, spine, legs. ,' Aim, at lyingas straight as possible, either on theright or the. left side, but never, onthe back. " ; ■ -"Don't "hug" yourself or' let yourshoulders hunch for ward.' Don't allowyour head; to slouch forward, either.Keep the chin at a comfortable'level,neither dropped on thechest nor thrownback. Close the lips gently. Instead ofa compressed or "pulled down" ex-pression that shows taut nerves, culti-vate an expression of contentment.This will help you to feel at peacewith yourself and the world and willkeep at bay those ugly nose-to-mouthlines that every woman dreads.

CURTAINED WINDOWS.Most modern houses have_net as well

thicker curtains over the windows. Oneor other of these, but never both atthe same time, should be, drawn.' Adouble-curtained room won't give youabeautysleep.

Somewomen have their bedroom win-dows flung open and uncurtained al-ways and, if the light bothers them,they sleep with a chiffon scarf or adark bandage , over the eyes to'pre-vent early waking—and winkles! . ,

STAGE AND SCREEN

The Garden in the Mounth od the

JBIa London Show.The man behind,the London production

last month o£ "Ball at the Savoy" isLouis Dreyfus/ who has been behind sev-eral recent successes*, . notably, "RoseMarie and "Show Boat." He saw "Ballat the Savoy" in Berlin, and immediatelsrushed back to New York and took OscaiHatnmeretein back'with ;hirn,with the ideaof production at Drury Lane. Mr. Drey-fus .intends to make London his chief pro-duCing;£centre in future, England, in hisopinion^ having the 'best . theatre-goingpublic iri'-'theworld. It is interesting thatMaurice Evans, who has a big part in"Ball in the Savoy,"-was- a former officeboy for Mr. Dreyfus and resigned to goon the stage. The scenes shift from Ven-ice to Nice, and the plot concernsa youngmarried man who, after a year's honey-moon, takes a night off to go to the ball,where he meete his wife in disguise, doesnot recognise her, and makes violent loveto her. The piece abounds! in catchytunes, and has an excellent cast. OskarDenes,the comedian of'Viktoria and HerHussars,"has the part of a Turkish nota-bility with six wives, and Rosa Barsony,as a young Hungarian' composer, has*onebig scene/ wherein she takes the batonfrom CharlesPrentice and conducts

_the

orchestra. Natalie Hall, an . American,plays the wife to Maurice Evans 6 hus-band, and fresh from her part in theNew York production of "Music in theAir," reveals a beautiful voice and fineacting.Outstanding Artist.

Mr H. GladstoneHill, a former conduc-tor of the Hamilton Operatic Society, wasthe guest of the society at a perform-ance of "The Firefly." Mr. Hill stated

'■ to a "Waikato Times" representative thathe was greatly impressed by the whole per-formance. In the first place, he said,special mention must be made of the twoleading ladies. In Mrs. Lavington thesociety had secured an artist of outstand-ing merit from every angle. In fact, Mr.Hill doubted whether any society in theDominion could produce a more finishedand delightful lead. Her singing was.ex-cellent,and,what was more than pleasing,was the fact that her speaking voice wasgood too. Her characterisation from startto finish; was equal to that o£ a profes-sional;:.'..-'"",-''■ '.: 1-, ' ' ' : /Billy Milton for Australia.

Messrs. J. C. Williamson have secured'■the famousyoungLondon musical,comedyleading man, Billy Milton, tc. star with■the company which has been headed byMadge Elliott and Cyril Ritchard (whowill return to London in December). BillyMilton will arrive in December and openjn "Gay Divorce," the outstandingAmeri-can musical comedy success. Negotiationsfor the engagement of Billy Milton begantwo years ago, when Mr. Frank S. Tait,one of the managing directors of the Firm,saw him as"Mistinguett's partner andleading man in aproduction in Paris. Mr.Milton has just returned to London fromanother revue engagement in Paris, wherehe has also acted in films. He was inCharlesB. Cochran's production of "ThisYear of Grace" at the Selwyn Theatre,New York, and played the role of Vin-cent Howard in "Bitter Sweet" at His.Majesty's, London. Among British, filmsin which Billy Milton has appeared aro"Young Woodley" and "The Man fromChicago.""Counsellorat Law."

With "Counsellor at Law," by ElmerRice, one of America's greatest play-wrights, ready for screening, and withJohn Barrymore heading one of the mostremarkable casts assembled this year,CarlLaemmle, jiin., is "giving the productionelaborate modernistic background. Theentire floor apace of one of the largeststages at Unrversal Studio has been con-verted into the law offices of GeorgeSimon,played by Barrymore. In style itcompares with the most luxurious officesof the Empire State and Chrysler build-ings in New York City. In the cast areBebe Daniels, Doris Kenyon, OnslowStevens,and Thelma Todd.Boys' Choir Concert. ..._ The Wellington Boys' Choir, . estab-lished at the beginningof this yearbyMr.H. Temple White, is unique in the Do-minion. Some of fhe secondary "schools'have fine choirs of boys, but the factthat those in the WellingtonBoys' Choirare selected from the various schools inWellington, and that they are receivingexpert tuition in the rudiments of musicand voice production, places them in aclass by themselves. The choir will makeits. first public appearance ,at the Town'Hall on Saturday, November 4. In addi-tion to a large number ofunison and two-part songs, there will be solos,duets,andelocutionary items by the Gallowaybrothers, Bruce Maxwell, Eric de-Manny,and Walter Waddle, the champion boysoloist at the recent Wellington Competi-tions. In addition, Miss Dorothy Stenti-lord, one of Dunedin's leading contraltos,lias been engaged specially for this con-cert. Miss Stentiford is a performer from4YA and has a very charming platformpresence. Solos*on the grand organ willbe rendered by Mr. M. W. A. Gatheridge,formerly Resistant organist at the Kings-way HalV London, and Madame Evelynde MaunyVwill be accompanist.'Sidelines. ' . .

Most people want to become a successin their :choseri professions, but BingCrosby, star of Paramount's "CollegeHumour," is content'to let his sidelinescarry him: to fame. Always musicallyinclined, Crosby, while attending the Uni-versity of. Gonzaga, played in a smalldance band as a "sideline." Then hetook a jobin a real band as atrap drummer,and sangichoruses as a sideline. PaulWhiteman;heard him,1 liked him, signedhim withVHarry.Barris, and they beameWhiteman's "Rhythm Boys."- Bing madea fewrecords as a sideline. Sing's recordsbecame best sellers,and when his_orchestralengagement was finished,the national radionetworks wanted him. As a radio star,rated one of America's favourites, Bingattracted the attention of motion pic-ture studios, which wanted him for filmmusicals. He decided to make one, as asideline, and went west to do "The BigBroadcast.""The Wandering Jew."

ConradVeidt, who gives such a brilliantperformance in "Rome Express," is toplay opposite four leading ladies in "TheWandering Jew." " This film, which is tobe the most spectacular yet made in Eng-land, is done in four phases, and a differ-ent feminine lead will appear in each.They comprise Marie Ney, the New Zea-land actress, who will make her screendebut, Anne Grey, Peggy Ashcroft, and'Joan Maude. The film will be releasedin New Zealand through British Domin-ions Films* Ltd*

The inside story of a famousAmericanradio star, " will feature Helen Twelve-trees, ;Victory Jory, Wallace Ford, andClaire Dodd. Miss Dodd is a recent addi-tion to the cast arid will have the secondfeminine lead. She has- appeared withsuccess in several Warner features/ in-cluding "Lawyer Man" and "ParachuteJumper." Victor* Sellertainger is directingand also composed a number of songsforthe production.Baer v. Camera.

.Eleven hundred privileged spectatorssaw a pugilistic battle that may havebeen in the nature of a "dress rehearsal"for- a later event, when Primo Camera,world's heavyweight champion, and MaxBaer, a challenger for'the crown, met ina combat at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayerstudios, during filming of "The Prize-fighter and the Lady." This is the firstbout between a champion and his chiefrival ever recorded as part of a motionpicture story. Jack Dempsey acted asreferee,and Director W. S. Van Dyketook charge of the battery of cameramenwho ground out the scene from all angles.The appearance of Baer and Camera onthe studio stage, where a replica of Madi-son Square Garden had been constructed,marked the debut of both boxers as screenactors."S.O.S. Iceberg.'*

In "S.O.S. Iceberg," Univcrsal's Green-land picture, Major Udet, the celebratedGerman, war ace; supplies 'many of thebiggest thrills in(the film, performing un-heard-of,manoeuvres> over- the frozenwastes of the: Arctic. \ Most notable is thefinal scene in-- which' his" famous Motteaeroplane lands on a .floating: iceberg. Sohazardous "was i the location trek for thefilm of "S.O.S. Iceberg"'that the Univer-sal expedition received the ..patronage, ofthe Danish Government and special guid-ance of Knud Rasinussen,noted explorerand author.Australian Plays.

Elsie Randolph is happiest when she is.playing comedy-parts if her own opinionis to be believed. Dark, vivacious,attrac-tive, quick witted, Elsie has always hada flair for making people laugh. Nordoes her performance run merely to lightcomedy—she ia in her element she con-fesseswhen chasing round in a raggedhorse-blanket;as she did in "Night of theGarter"' or when disguised under the out-ra'ge'oiis accent and dowdy clothes of Wil-helmina in "That's A Good Girl." Itwas "That's A Good Girl" which sawElsie Randolph, become leading lady toJack Buchanan on the stage—and this it-self was directly the outcome of Elsie'scomic talent:Baxter.

AVarner Baxter has been assigned thestarring role in Fox Film's forthcoming"Odd Thursday," which is based on, thebest-selling novel by Vera Caspary.Eochelle Hudson,newly signed to a long-term contract by the Fox Studio, willsupport Baxter in the leading femininerole.

"Bitter Sweet."Two film debuts are made by important

members of the. cast of "Bitter Sweet,"and it is safe to prophesy that.each of thepersons concerned will be considered toadd much entertainment value to the pic-ture. Of these two artists, one is StuartRobertson,who iplays the part of Lieut.Tranisch and- sings the Tokay drinkingsongin the Schlick'sCafesequence. The

.other is Ivy St. Helier.

At theMajestic he plays Chriss Hawthorne in"Hindle Wakes,"and-at the Plaza he hasanother Lancashire role as Jess Oakroyd.in "The Good Companions." The contrastin characterisation in the three parts isan indication of the actor's remarkableversatility.

ENGLISHMAN'S OFF DAY

VISITORS AT DUNEDIN(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

PTJNEDIN, October25.1 The English lawn,tennis players met a

New .Zealand teani -here today before, about 1500 spectators., There - was per-fect weather,,with- no wind, anil an over-oast sky. It was.the. ■ most interestingexhibition ever; seen-in,Dunediu,and al-1though the-NewZealanders wero beatenby three gamesto one, they acquittedthemselves with distinction, .. especiallyJfalfroy, whose defeat of Perry was thesensation of the day.

This waS easily the best singles matchof the series, and the New Zealander,,fortified, by his overseas experience andshowing plenty of confidenceagainst hisredoubtable opponent, played a magni-ficentgame,and won in straight sets. Mal-froy's service was working perfectly, andclipping off the court at hurricane pace,so that Perry nearly always had to returnit defensively, enabling the New Zea-landef to take the net, where he volleyedsuperbly. Malfroy's own return of servicewas excellent,and he drove and volleyed

i with such speed and precision that he keptPerry away from the net.

The Englishman's display, on the otherhand, waa Very disappointing. He ap-peared unable to adapt himself to theconditions,and his whole game appearedto be curiously repressed. It was obvi-ous that he was ■ not at home .on thesmooth asphalt surface. He appeared ap-prehensive of slipping, anil, moreover, hisown clean, flat Strokes were not at allsuited by the topspin which Malfroy im-parts to the majority of his shots. Onlyon rare occasions,when ho 6cnt perfectshots skimming down the sidelines orsmashed superbly, from the service^ line,were the spectators afforded a glimpseof the player who defeatedCochot andwon the American national singles title.

A SHADOW OF HIMSELF.■ "Those who saw Perry in previous games

said his play today was only a shadowof that in earlier matches, and it waspatent, even to the uninitiated, that hisform today could not have won him worldhonours. He himself-remarked after thematch that he would not have believedhe could have" played some of hia shotsso badly.

Lee,and Wilson proved to be very even-ly matched in a singles game playedmainly from the baseline. The English-man proved himself a beautiful strokeplayer and an adept at skilfully direct-ing the ball so as to make Wilson takeall his shots on the run. Wilson served■ and drove well in the second set, whichhe won 6-4, but'in the third Leo clearly,had the situation in hand.

Pearce made -numerous mistakes in thefirst set against Wilde, in which theyoung Englishman revealed a strong ser-vice and a very effective backhanddrive. The Otago man did better in thesecond set which, at. one stage, he lookedlike winning, but lapses at critical stagescost him vital points, and Wilde won outfrom four all.

DAZZLING DOUBLES PLAY.The doubles was the most dazzling ex-

hibition of the day, with Malfroy andWilde the heroes of their respective sides.J?erry was again very uncertain withhis ground strokes, and made numerouserrors, but there were; occasions whenlie revealed his true form with sting-ing drives, sharply-angled volleys, andsmashes that admitted of no reply. Mal-froy served and volleyed magnificentlyand, with a more decisive smash, wouldacquit himself creditably in any com-pany. Wilson also served strongly, andsmashed and drove effectively, while someof his cross-court volleys left the Eng-lishmen standing, but he was less certainjn his shot's than Malfroy.■ ■_ ...;." "~ Wilde's display- was ... magnificent, landt

he showed an understanding of doublesplay that should take'him into the firstflight in this department of tho game.His service is fast and well placed, hisvolleying brilliant, and his smashing veryeffective, while his side-line shots arca sheer delight.

Scoreswere as follows:—Leo (England) beat Wilson (New Zea-

land), 64, 4-6, 6-2.Malfroy (New Zealand) beat Perry

(England), 64, 64.Wilde (England) beat Pearce (New.

Zealand), 6-2, 64.Perry and Wilde beat Malfroy and

Wilson, 5-7, 64, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3.

AUSTRALIANS WIN

PLAY AT OAMARU

(By Telegraph.—Press Association)■ OAMARU, October 25.

An international lawn tennis match be-tween the Australian. Davis Cup playersQuist and Turnbull, and D. G. France and jAngas (New Zealand) was played thisafternoon before-a largo attendance onthe OamaruClub's courts.

Results are:—Quist (Australia) beat Angas (New

Zealand), 6-3,4-6, 6-4.Turnbull (Australia) beat France (New

Zealand), 4-6,64, 6-2.Quist and Turnbull beat France and

Angae, 64,'. 64, 6-2.Quist's variety of strokes and deep

driving were the chief factors in his vic-tory over Angas. Althoughnot appearingto be fully extended,he showed flashes ofbrilliant form, showing exceptional control;of the ball, and in the final set puttingmore pace into his shots with the sameaccuracyand length. Angas was appar-ently affected with the exceptional heatof the afternoon, tiring in the last fewgames.He gave a creditable exhibition ofvolleying and recoveries. Quist took thelead in the first set at 3-1,and althoughAngas made fine recoveries,Quist's accu-rate driving won for him the set. The Aus-tralian opened badly in the second set,Angas running to a. lead of 3-1. Quistdrew to 4 all, but missed badlywith side-line drives, allowing Angas to take theset. Putting more pace into his shots,Quist led throughoutthe final set, winning64 after eight deuces and five matchpoints.

Turnbull's service accuracy and pacewere features of the play in his matchagainst France. The first set went to theNew Zealander,who, after the / first game,secured and held the lead throughout.France took the first two games in thesecond set, but Turnbull took the nextfrom 40-0. The score went to 4 all. Turn-bull then showed superiority with cross-court drives, taking the next two games.Tho Australian won the opening game ofthe third set and forged ahead and woneasily. 'His overhead drives were, especi-ally effective,and he was rarely fully ex-tended.

Sparkling net play, in wheih all fourloined, marked the doubles match. TheNew Zealanders were outclassed,but show-ed up brilliantlyat times. Quist won hisservice throughout, coming up to joinTurnbull at the net. Turnbull was severeon overhead work, but weak on the back-hand, making numerous errors. Angasplayed a sound game, but France, exceptfor flashesof brilliance, did not measureup to his partner's standard.

SEASON CLOSING IN

WINTER CUP

NOTES

The golf season is closing in, thoughthe weather is still wintry. .With thoWatt Cup Bay; on Shandon tomorrowthe minor clubs will have mostly madea big hole; in _their.' programmes. Thewet winter has held up,some events,but it will not ha Jong beforo othersports begin to claim tlieir devoteesand golf will bo relegated to friendlygamesarranged as the days arrive. Ahthe ground becomes ,dri,er, Heretauagawill come into its own summer season.It-has .been-a year of .expansion in thogame, and several new clubs have be-come established, indeed, more golf isbeing played today than ever.

HUTT COURSEMUCH IMPROVED

Playing a "winter cup" in late Oc-tober may' seem' a misrioinor, but, onthis occasion the weather was wintryenough. Tho way in which the linksstoo.cl »p.to.the heavy rain and thetraffic of a tournament shows that theHutt must bo cal.led a dry course. Thegreens played well to the last. Allthat this course now needs to completeit's appeal is a little more character attho "new holes. It is thfc opinion ot"some that an inexpensive improvementcould be effected by raising the fourthteo to the top of the bank, while ithas been suggested that the third groanen its terrace could bo a trifle larger.The extensive tree planting done willhave an effect in narrowing some oftho fairways in a few years. One oftho chief troubles, which applies toother Wellington courses, is in keepingthe sand in the bunkers. They woroswept fairly bare for the tourney.Bunker upkeep, where the sand has tobe sieved.; is expensive, but it is re-grettable that the local sand supplycontains gravel, which the wind leavesalone. Yearly the turf improves. Withthe exception of the eighth and ninth,where teeing wp for the seconds is al-lowed, the fairways are as ,fino as insome much older clubs, while tho greensare excellent. Complaints are some-times heard about tho bunkering .sys-tem, but it is a moot point whetheror not these are merely tributes fromgolfers who cannot place their shots.If the holes are played to open up thegreens, there are few places where agood shot is likely to be penalised. Thefourteenth is one that catches sonic ofthe best players, .but only if they playstraight for tho hole from the tee.There is plenty.of good turf oa theleft of tho fairway, leaving the holequite open. Now and again a runningshot will find the bunkers at the Hutt,but if the ball is pitched well up tothe green, and properly placed, thereis no trouble, except in summer, whenit is difficult to find greens anywhereelse which aro accepted as large,enoughto stop on. ■

TOURNEY ECHOES.J. L. Black is right back on his game

again, after a lapse, of some eighteenmonths, during which low seventieswere rare, and over eighties common.Kurnonr has it that tho Hutt will havea strong team next season, as severalplayers who by -no means disgracedthemselves at Titirangi are joining up.Amongst them ■will probably "be J. L.Black, . ' V'M: K. Moore, the you ag Titahi player,

siiowed that ho will havo to be reckonedwith in future local fixtures. In theWatt Cup he met Black when the latterwas still out of form, bnt tho issue wasothorwiso decided on Monday. Exceptfor a slice, however, which got him intotrouble more than once on the day.Moore played very fine golf and thoughhe was showing signs of the strainon tho eighteenth, his mistakes _attho tenth, whore he sliced intorough, and' at the short waterhole, where ho lifted his head,and duffed his rjiashie'shot into roughjust short of the water, appeared' totake no effect on his nerves, becauseat'-tho twelfth, from a fine, drive, helaid his second six feet from the cup,and1 holed the putt after Black hudrattled one in from the edge of thegreen for a3. But for his few mis-takes he played very- sound golf.

Seldom has such weather persistedfor two days of a tournament as wasexperienced at the Hut-t. The clubhouse was so full of steaming clothesat .lunch time that it reseniblod a rescuestation near, a wreck. It was. bitterlycold, moreover, and "it,.was no. wonderthat the prospect of "being drenchedagain.in the afternoon put.off some ofthe'less eager spirits. . Patches'of sun-shine a few. acres in extent flitted occa-sionally up the valley^ .however, andtempted most' players out again in theafternoon, though the weather provedlittle better. Surprisingly few: let theirmatches go by default. ...

SPEEDY REDUCTION.An instance of rapid 'reduction^ of

handicap on the part of arecent devoteeto golf is that of W. J. Dayidge, whocommenced the game some , eighteenmonths ago when he soon was given ahandicap of 20-15. Ho is now on the7-5 mark. Ho beat I, A-. H. Symes 1up in the first round of the Jlutt "WinterCup, but in the next round met J. L.Black. Tt must have been dishearten-ing to Davidgo, who secured bogey!figures enough to justify his handicapj"at a majority, of holes, completing thofirst nine in 42, to be beaten at sevenof them by Black, who went out in 35,3 under tho standard scratch ■score.

PLUS FOURS FOR WOMEN?

"I received no shocks from thisyear's autumn fashions,;? writes aniSnglish exchange correspondent, "savewhen ono charming young woman ap-peared in plus fours. This caused analmost unanimous wince. Somehow onescarcely imagines that women golferswill forsako theskirt asreadily as theirtennis-playing sisters. Few men, afterall, look really well in plus fours, and Ifear that most women thus arrayedwould delight the heart of Mr. HarryTato. Otherwise the designers seemto have decided that they cannot dobetter than follow the French saw:—'Plus ca change, plus e'est Ja memochose.1 It all looks a little familiar —but very charming."

Miss Pamela Shand,.the Derbyshireplayer in the British girls' title, whointroduced a new fashion in w.omoii'sgolf by wearing men's mackintoshtrousers, had an imitator in. Miss JoanNegretti, of "Worplcsdon. Tho"garment,was ideal for the occasion, as rain fellheavily throughout the morning.

GIRL'S FINE SCORE

Miss Enid M. Pears,■■'■who as 18Jyears of age and a Warwickshire Countyplayer,-of Walinley, near Birmingham,won the scratch prize, in. the annualstroke competition at Stoke Poges witha return of 79.- Indeed, she was theonly one of thirty competitors, MissDiana Pishwiek being among the num-ber,-to beat SO. As the scratch scoreof the courso is 76 and rain was riothelping matters, .this, was a splendidachievement on the part of Miss Pears.A well-built girl, she is a. long■ driverand a more./than'''Ordinarily, good putter.

WAIRARAPA SHOWTHE OPENING DAY

CATTLE AND SHEEP

IMPROVED EXHIBITS

(From "The Post's" Social Reporter.)A general improvement in the quality

of cattle and sheep was noted by themajority of the judges at the openingof the Wairarapa and East CoastPastoraland Agricultural Society's annual showat Carterton yesterday. The entries inmost of the classes snowed a big increaseover those of last year. There was very

little unfavourable comment on any ofthe exhibits. The main exception wasin the pig classes. The judge, Mr. W. P.Bickers, was enthusiastic over the qual-ity of the large whites and blacks,.buthis referencesto the Berkshireswero notso complimentary. He expressed the opin-ion that there was need for improvementin this section. The baconers and porkers,ho said, were not quite up to the usualstandard, and were inclined to be overfat. Young pigs shut up in sties andfed on fattening food could not be ex-pected to develop the quantity of meatnecessary to please the palate unless theyhad exercise. The aim of pig farmers,said Mr. Bickers, should be to produce'lean meat with a maximum of develop-ment in the animal.

Although there was not a. particularlylnrgc attendance of the public yesterday,it is anticipated that the showgroundswill be thronged today with, visitors fromall parts of the Wairarapa. Judging ofthe sheep and cattle entries, sheep dogtrials, and a number of horse events oc-cupied most of the time yesterday. Wea-ther conditions -were almost ideal, the,sun, if anything, being a little too warm.Th'o show was. continued last evening,and a large number of residents tookthe opportunity to see the exhibits andvisit the ever popular sideshows.. The running of the. show so far asefficiency was concerned left nothing tobe desired. Much credit iriust go in thisdirection to the secretary, Mr. Li H.Smart, andMiis "willing band oE assist-ants. „

CATTLECLASSES.The Jersey section was quite good, ac-

cording to the judge, Mr. H. Moreland.The two-yeaa>old bull which' won thechampionship was a very impressive.ani-mal, he said. The females, taken as a.whole, were good. (The general qualityof the classes wa3 even, many of theanimals placed third and fourth beingvery little inferior to the winners. Thechampion andreserve champion cows wereof a good type and showed good dairyuniformity. Thechampion bull was shownby Mr. W. H. Gordon, of Greytown, andthe champion cow by R. L.^ Hornand Son, Ohau. The latter exhibitorswere also awarded the reserve champion-ship in the bull class. The reserve cham-pion cow was shown by W. H. Boothand Son, Middle Run.'In the Red Polls class a cow belonging!

to Mr. G. A. Martin, of Manakau, wasawarded- the championship.' The reservechampionship went1 to a cow enteredby Mr H. G. Bryant, of Manakau. Thejudge, Mr. J. L. Wild, of Feilding, saidthat the section as a whole was good.The stock was not carrying quit° sufli-cient substance for dual purposes.

"On the whole the cattle have improvedon"other years and are shown in bettercondition," snid Mr. E. A. Washer, ofOkaiawu, judge of the Milking Short-horns. Mr. Washer noticed' a consider-able advance in the condition and qualityof the exhibits in this section. All thebeasts wero well brought out, and thisshowed that the exhibitors were learn-ing their business thoroughly.- The cham-pion bull, champion, cow, and reserve jchampion cow in this section were all ex-hibited by Mr. R. V: Brown, of Wera-roa. The reserve champion bull was en-tered by Mr. W. J. Thomae,of Carfer-

The champion bull and cow in theFriesian section were entered by Mr. O.A.Cadwallader,of Greytown, who also en-tered the reserve champion bull, "he re-serve champion cow was entered by Mr.M. J. Parker, of Dalefield.

W. Moore and Son, of Masterton, en- jtered tho champion bull and cow in theAyrshire section. Mr. A. Tocker, ,ofFeatherston, entered tho reserve cham-pion bull, and Mr. J, G. Donald thereserve champion cow; I

SHEEP CLASSES.The champion Lincoln ram was en-

tered,by Mr. Eric IT. Wilton, of Master-ton, .who was also awarded the reserve |

.championship in this class. The championand reserve champion ewes were enteredby Mr. L. R. Wilton, of Raugitumau.IThe judge, Mr. W^.H. Gaisford, com-jniented favourably on the hoggets of bothsexes, both in singles and in pairs. The|four-tooth championram, he said, was! anoteworthy animal. The condition of the jewes, however,did not seem to be up tothe usual standard.

Commenting on the Romney Marsh un-housed rams, of which he was judge,Mr. H. Voss, of Karere, said that thequalityof the breed had been maintainedsince he last visited the show two yearsago. There were two outstanding sheepamongst the exhibits, the four-tooth cham-pion and a, two-tooth ram entered by Mr.X R. McLeod.'of Maryborough. Mr. W.A.' Todd, of Otano, who entered . thechampion ram, also exhibited a fine rangeof other rams, as well as entering the re-serve champion ram in this class. Inthe open Romney class Sir William Perry,of Masterton, entered the champion andreserve champion rams, and Mr. F. W.Blatchford, of Woodville, the championand reserve champion ewes.

p Only one entry was received for theEnglish Leicester class. This was a ramentered by Mr. W. Howard Booth, ofCar-terton.

Ellis Bros., of Bulls, were the most suc-cessful owners in the Southdown (open)class. One of their ewes was awardedthe championship, and their rams carriedoff the championship and reserve cham-pionship. The judge, Mr. G. W. Mun-ford, of Shannon, thought that on thewhole the sheep in this class had im-proved in type and character since hisla«t visit to the show in 1931. Mr. Mun-fonl said that in his opinion, and judgingfrom English experience, shorn lambsshowed better development than those ,that were unshorn., „ . . c ~ I

Mr. G. Fawkes,of Bulls, judge of theIunhoused Southdown rams, said that thehogget's were a good class throughout.They were well grown and the qualitywas good. The winninghogget was oneof the best he had seen for a considerabletime Referring to tho unhoused ewes, Mr.W C Gimblett, of Hastings, said that henoticed a slight improvement since 1931.The champion ram was exhibited by-Mr.R M Perry, of Masterton, and tho re-serve 'champion by Mr. W. Rayncr, ofMasterton. .The champion Cornedale ram was exhi-bited by Mr. W. Rayner, of Masterton,and the champion ewe by Mr. J. String-fellow, of Greytown, who also entered thereserve championram. The reserve cham-pion ewewas entered by Mr. Rayner. Thejudge stated that the majority of theCorriedales were very good.

Fat lambs exhibited were of a highstandard. The judge, Mr. F. Rickman,ofMarton, said that the.placed lambs werein excellent condition. The championshipwas won by a lamb entered by Mr. A.G. Yule, of Featherston. Mr. Rickmanhad considerable difficulty in selecting thewinninglambs in the various classes,andsaid that the lambs would be a credit toany district. The judge of the farmers'classes and fats, Mr. E. P. Swainson,ofFeilding,said that taken right through theweight and quality were very good, buthe would like to have seen more entries.

PIG CLASSES.

' Mr. Rayner, of Parkville, was amongstthe most successful exhibitors of pigs,but although his pigs were awarded sevenfirsts, he failed to secure a championship.The champion black boar was entered byMr. G. M. Whitelock, .of Newbury, whoalso entered the champion white boar.The champion black sow was entered byMr. R. Webb, of Newbury, and the re-serve champion by. Mr, D.. Buchanan,of

Tiakitalmna. Tho reserve champion whiteboar was also entered by Mr. Buchanan.Other exhibitors,who gained firsts in thepigclasses were Messrs. W. 11. Bird, J. E.Wright, J. Morgan, H. L. Tozer,G. W.Busby, J. Fearon,and 11. J. Brown.

The entries in the cooking and school-children's classes showed a remarkable in-crease. .The cooking was judged by Mrs.W. H. Booth, of Middle Run, Cartcrton.She carried out her arduous dnties in thisrcfcpect with the utmost credit, and sheexpressed satisfactionat the very highstandard that had been attained. Thehandwork of the schoolchildren was alsovery good. The dog classes have provedvery popular at this show, and the en-tries show an increase of nearly 70 percent, on those of last year. The judgingin these classes is being done today.

PAIN RELIEVEDINSTANTLY.Bayer Aspirin tablets will dispel any

pain. No doubt about that. One tabletwill provo it. . Swallow it. The pain isgone. Relief is as simple as that.

No harmfujafter-effects from genuineBayer Aspirin. It never depresses theheart, and you-need never hesitate tomake nse of these tablets.

So it is needless to suffer from head-ache,toothache, or neuralgia. Thepainsof sciatica, lumbago, rheumatism^ ornouritis can be banishec 1 completely in afew moments. Periodical suffering ofwomen can bo soothed away; the dis-comfort of colds can bo avoided.If you have been using an imitation

of this original Aspirin (discovered byBayer and introduced to the medicalprofession in 1900), note the differenceafter tho very first dose. Bayer Aspirincosts no more than the uncertain imita-tions and loudly-advertised substitutes,which physicians would not think ofprescribing.

All chemists sell boxes containing 12Bayer tablets, also bottles of 24 and 100tablets—tho Bayer Cros.-<trade mnrkappears on every tablet. Say Bayer andinsist!—Advt. ...

PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

About forty membere attended lastnight's annual general meeting of theWellington Philosophical Society, whichwas presided over by Dr. J. Henderson.

Amongst other matters discussed wasthe library. It was announced that MissMason had been appointed honorary lib-rarian and hopes were expressed that inthe near future the library would be en-larged and made to serve in a better de-gree the needs of members. The fol-lowing were appointed as library commit-tee:—Mr. F. W. Furkert, Mr. L. C. King,and Dr. W. P. Evans.

The report of the committee set up toconsider fellowshipand medal awards wasreceived. That of the committee ap-pointed to consider the revision of certainrules was received as an interim report,and the committee will report again to alater meeting.

There was a short discussion on the placeof meetings, several members expressingthe opinion that the Dominion Museumwas not an ideal place for meetings. Amore comfortable hall or room, it wassuggested, would attract more people tomeetings. .Officers were elected a$ follows:—Pre-sident,Dr. J. Henderson;vice-presidents,Dr. P. Marshall and Mr. A. Hefford; sec-retary-ti.'easurer, Mr. F. R. Callaghan,with Mr. G. A. Peddie as assistant; coun-cil, the .chairman for the ensuing year ofeach of the four sections,Dr. Barnett,Dr. W. P. Evans, Mr. F.

Club Openings.Practically all the clubs have now

opened their greens and players aredoing their utmost to strike form .be-fore the inter-club matches commenceon the 31st of this month. Most ofthe.greens are playing well, althoughsomewhat heavy, but this is to be ex-pected at this time of the season. Pro-vided greenkeepers are not setting themachines too low moßt of the lawnsshould be in a better condition thanlast year. Several of the municipallawns have had extra attention in the■way of levelling, etc., which is muchappreciated by players who have nowonly one regret, and that is tliat theyare still bui-dcnod with heavy greenfees, thus making the subscriptionnocessarily high.Annuals.

Supplies of annualshave now come tohand,,and each year sees an improve-ment in the original edition. This sea-son the handicaps are in doublecolumns, thus conserving a good dealof waste space and simplifying thosearch for various handicaps. Anotherimportant item is that there is analphabetical index to the laws. Theindex is very concise and will be muchappreciated by players. There are afew explanatory notes on rules, most,of which are answers to queries re-ceived from clubs last season.St. Augustine's Club.

She declaredthe lawn open for play and drove aball through the first hoop. Bouquetswere presented to Mrs. Gardner andMrs. Turksma.

The opening of the Eangamaire Clubtook place last Wednesday in the pre-sence of a large number of members,and friends.

Eobertson, break; AErs.Eobins, French. On behalf of the mem-bers Mrs. Eobertson thanked the com-mittee for its hospitality.Alterations to Rules.

There arc two important alterationsto rules this year to bo particularlynoted. Both of these are under theheading of "Playing with tho wrongball." Last year's rules gave an ad-versary, who played the wrong ball, theoption of two procedures, that ofchanging the balls when the. error wasdiscovered or of having th.c turn re-commenced from where tho error oc-curred. This year there is no suchchoice. When the turn has begunwitlian adversary's ball and the iirst strokewas not a croquet stroke, all balls af-fected shall be replaced as they werebefore the iirst stroke was made, andthe turn, whether it had already ceasedor not, shall be recommenced with thecorrect ball. If, however, the error ofplayingwith tho wrong ball is made onthe croquet stroke then—and then only—the option can be exercised by theadversary. This ruling applies only ifthe error is announced before, tho lirststroke of the succeeding turn.

Most errors of playing with thowrong ball usually occur when croquetis about to be taken, so it will meanthat it will be uecessarythat a correctdecision is given as to where the ballswere first played in error.

There is another important changein the rules, and that is in regard toa player playing a partner's ball indoubles..Previously when a player useda partner's ball any replay or continu-ation of that turn had to be made ,bytho same striker with the correct ball.Now the positions are reversed, andthe rule reads:—"If tho striker playthe first stroke of a turn with liis part-ner's ball, all balls affected shall bo re-placed as they were before the firststroke was made and the turn shallbo recommenced by the correct strikerof that ball." Tho position summedup means that, whereas previously theballs were changed, now the playerschange plates.WellingtonClub's Members' Day.

A pleasant"time was spent on thelawns "of the ■ Wellington Club whenmembors held the usual members 5 dayrecently. The weather was glori-ously fine, and with tho introductionof sey.eral novelty competitions theafternoon passed quickly. This club isone of the largest in Wellington. Someof the most enthusiastic of Welling-ton's players belong to it, and it haslawns situated" in one of the most shel-tered spots in the city.

PHLOX DRUMMONDISHOWY HARDY ANNUALS

Phlox Drummondi is one of the mostshowy of hardyannuals, the plantspro-duciug a blaze of colour which con-tinues for a long period. Phlox is ex-cellent for edgings or beddhig pur-poses and also provides useful cut.)flowers. It is doubtful if such a widerange 'of colours is to .be. ■ found ■inany other garden plant, and. the. flowerspossess a delicate fragrance which addsto the charm of'the garden on a'sum-mer evening. " ■

Difficulty is sometimes experienced insuccessfully raising the ' plants ,fromseed. There should be no ' difficultyin getting tho' seed to -germinate, butit should;be remembered that, the seedshould be sown not buried. The seed'requires very light covering with finesoil, the seed bed having been "firmedbefore sowing. After sowing mulchthe seed bed with a thin layer, of finelysifted stable manure or leaf-mould, oreven lawn clippingswill do. This keepsthe surface soil cool and moist; pre-vents caking, and enables-the youngseedlings to push through. Neglect tosupply this'mulch'■!» the commonestcauso of failure. While tho seeds gor-

minatp fr.ccly the''young seedlings oftenperish through becoming too dry be-fore they-have pushed their roots, wellinto, the .ground, while if the surfaceis at all caked-they have not thestrength to push through. A goodmethod of ■sowing tho seeds'is to getsonn?liiiq sandy soil or >clean, sand, inwhich may be mixed a handful of agood artificial fertiliser, and plnco thisin a flat dish and mix tho seed thor-oughly, through it. After .mixing thor-oughly sow the mixture, just coveringit wit'li a thin layer ol: fine soil and firmtl'ic whole with the back or the rakeor ]:i board. By this raeims tin; seedis sown evenly Miul 'thinly, and verylittle thinning will Tits- ticecssiiry. after-wards, while by the time tlie seedgerminates the. fertiliser will be in-corporated in the soil and availableas plant f.oorl.

Phlox Drunnnondi h;is been greatlyimproved of recent years ;md a packetof mixed' needs will give imiumcrabloshndes of colour. I'ncketn of seed inseparate 'colours .may lie obtained it'preferred.'. Seed' nuiy l»c sown/nowwhere' the plants are to remain and abrilliant display ■■will be secured rightinto late autumn. By. successionalsowings a display may be'secured wellinto tho winter months, iind the lateflowers are usually richer in colouringthan those- that bloom in the summer■months. ■

ifor auy other reason, the work shouldbe undertaken1 during November.

All members of this'class of bulbsrequire hot conditions and unless thebulbs get thoroughlyripened during thesummer the flowering will be unsatis-factory. Good, loamy soil, rich inhumus but free from animal manures isbest, but they will do' quite well insandy ground. If any planting is tobe done, tho now beds should be pre-pared 'now'■by;deep' digging and : theincorporation of plenty of materialfrom 'the.,compost heap. When-plant-ing care must be taken not to putthe. bulbs in too;deep, leave the. nosejustout of tie ground.

Belladonnas," brunsyigias, nerines,and valottas are among this group.Belladonnas are well;-known- and theeasiest to manage.>Bransvigias. aremuch like belladonnas,'but larger andwith, fuller heads of-flowers .in mostcases.-

_They

bloom at different times, so it is pos-sible, by having a selection, to havesome in .flower over a long period.

Valottas are' a'vivid scarlet, withlarge bells produced on thick stalks upto twelve inches'tall. Both these andNerines make excellent pot plants, and

when used in .this way do best whensomewhat crowded in the pots.

RADIOCITY

IN FULL SWING THIS MONTH

Radio City, in" Sixth Avenue, NowYork, when the architects' plans wcroannounced, was heralded as au elec-trical acropolis in which the weddingof thn arts and sciences would be cele-brated. The Music Hall and the cita-del of the motion picture opened severalmonths ago, says the "New YorkTimes," but radio' has yet to make itstriumphal entry. It is planned thatNovember will see the acropolis linkedwith the outside world by means ofinvisible Marcoai channels. Thoseventy-storey skyscraper sanctum ofradio in this electrical community hasalready (September 10) reached itspeak. "Within a few weeks the bigstone block will be transformed intoa beehive of entertainment, and a galafirst-night programme is expected tofilter through tho cool air of an autumnnight to entertain a countless audience.

Radio in Kadio City will be a mainattraction. Broadcasting will be nosideshow, the thousands, especiallyout-of-town visitors, who are turnedaway from tho present studio perform-ances will find superior accommodationin the new realm. Provision is beingmade to facilitate the pubfic's viow ofthe show. There will be studio theatresand long glass runways in which those~who listen at home may watch "thoWheels goround" when they are- in thecity.

All the theatres arewired for broad-casting, and in addition there will hetwenty-seven radio studios, from whichthe WEAF and WJZ networks will bofod entertainment of wide diversity.

"Our statistics show that, on anaverage, four hours of rehearsal arerequired for every hour of actualbroadcasting," said an engineer of theNational Broadcasting Company, in areport to tho Institute of Kadio Engin-eers. "This means that when onebroadcast studio is on the air fourothers are being occupied by rehearsalsand a sixth is in preparation for thefollowing programme. However, as pro-ductions vary in size .and typo, avariety of different-sized studios mustbe provided: to meet adequately theneeds of tho various productions.

"^Further,; when dual channel opera-tion "is .encountered, a minimum oftwelve studios mustbe provided, a fewextra being: desirable in order to per-mit a choice of size to suit simul-taneous broadcasts. JX. is necessary toprovide three or four audition studioswhich are in continuous operation bythe programme-staff'in their soarch forand selection of new talent.

yih our presents quarters in FifthAvenue there are nine studios andthree audition rooms, with two smallrooms used for the purpose of monitor-ing outside pick-ups, out-of-town andforeign broadcasts, which give theequivalent in apparatus of a fourteen-studio lay-out for the operation of twochannels,and even under those circum-stances operations are hampered be-cause of lack of choice of proper-sizedstudios to fit all cases simultaneously."

A CHANCE FOR SOMEBODY

' For some years past it has been thepractice, a% important conferences at-tended by large numbers of delegates,to use electrical apparatus of sonio sortto carry the voices of speakers toeveryone who wants to hear. Thesimple loud-speaker is not always asuccess, because there may be somo■who would rather chat than listen, andthe big voice cramps their style. Some-what better in this respect is tho indi-vidual telephone receiver but this iscostly to install and checks the dele-gate who desires to roam about. Nowa new method has been tried. Eachdelegate is given a miniature radio re-ceiver,' and a transmitter, with anaerial system strung round tho walls,silently fills tho whole room withspeech which,may be heard or not asdesired. An improvement that hasbeen "suggested is',a.multiple transmit-ter giving thespeech in severallanguages, each on a different wave-length. , This would be fine if some-body could invent a multiple micro-phone that would translate a speechinto several languages at once. Aninventor of tho writer's acquaintancewas very busy on this idea for a time,but became discouraged. The nearesthe got to it was to make a machinethat would listen to a speech and writeit down, but he could never get it tospell correctly; it was a little too slowtoi.take down really rapid speech; andit never distinguished between heartyapplause and cries of rage from theopposition.

CLOTHES-LINES !One of therare cases of electrocution

as the result of contact with a radioset occurred iv Epsom, Auckland, re-cently. Tho victim was a widow, whoreceived the deadly shock from aclothes-lino which her son was usingas aa aerial for a crystal set. Ho hadalso connected the) set, presumably forearthing purposes, to an electric powerplug. As tho result of this accident avery silly warning has been publishedagainst.using clotheslines as aerials, orallowing aerials to be adjacent toclothes-lines. There is not the slightestdanger in using a clothes-line for anaerial, except tho danger of gettingpoor reception. The warning that isneeded is against connecting sets, notdesigned for the purpose, with thoelectric supply. Thatis-where tho shockcame from: Some time ago a boy inWellington was killed through the sameblunder—plugging a crystal set into apower-point... The strongest possible.warning should ' be' " uttered againstjmeddling with electrjc supply linos bypeople' who do not know what they are,;doing. Of course a properly construct-ed receiver connected with the powersupply mains does not cause any dan-gerous condition in the aerial. If thereis at any time any indication of eloc-trical leakage into the aerial from thopower supply the set should bo discon-nected from the power supply at oncoand attended to by an export. Theprobability is, however, that tho setwill go out of action, more or less per-manently, before any other symptom isnoticeable

PROGRAMME SELECTION(To the Radio Editor.)

; Sir,-—Your article in Thursday's"Post" .on the evident lack of directionin choosing music for broadcasting wastimely, and there will be generalagreement with your suggestion thatfcho 37,000 records (or whatever . thenumber may be) are not being properlysearched, i . , . "jAs I have in. wish to incur the re-proach of destructive criticism, I makethe following .suggestions. In doing'so l: risk, quite" cheerfully, being calleda high-brow but I can stand that:—

1. Music is not "classical" merely be-cause the composer has an unpronounce-able name. Much of the "classicalhour" is occupied with works evidentlychosen in this belief. . i

2. Thero are English composers, Byidmid Purcell for example, whoso lovelyairs wo hear very rarely, and then onlyin Mr. Jenner's talks.

3. Beethoven wrote oilier music tbau,

the "Moonlight Sonata" and the nowvery exhausted "Minuet."

4. There was a composer named J. S.Bach whose chorales, cantatas, andfugues would supply real music whichall of us would appreciate.

(Eegarding items 3 and 4, I can hearthe bricks hurtling,but on we go!)_

5. The following records to be givensix mouths' imprisonment without thooption: (a) Jazz (except during dancehours); (b) "Crooners"; (c) INegrohvstcrjcals; (d) Waltzes from Vienna;(c) Parodies on the mighty Wurlitzer.

These suggestions are made to thoboard in perfectly good faith. It the

board says they're no good, I'll be dis-

appointed, but I scarcely think.it willbe so dead in sin as to assert that thepresent programmes are satisfactory.—I am, etc., B.C.C.'S. .

WIRELESSBEACONSNEEDED IN AUSTRALIA

Tho establishment of a chain of v,uc-less beacons around the Australian coastf urged as ann

aid to nav.ga^ox^ byrnnriin E P. Cameron, h.D., lt.it■*>■.,

weather during fogs andThe Kiverina, lost near Gabo l^l">

fheKanowna, wrecked close to Wilson'sPromoXy, and the Malabar lost nearLone Bay, are cases in point.

Captain' Cameron suggested, in aninterview that a preliminary experi-

mental station might be estebbjfced^tthe extreme easterly end of ISorth Heao,Sydney. Later all large ports shouldbe provided with wireless beacons. Itwould then be difficult for _shiPs to goThere. A properly organised system

of direction-finding stations or beaconsestablished along tho coast wouldfacilitate ships entering port under allweather conditions.

A modern wireless beacon enables,

any vesel fitted with wireless receiving

equipment to pick .up the exact direc-tion of the beacon just as accurately

as a mariner at. sea ou a clear nightpicks up a light on the coast. Thescheme, Captain Cameron consults,would bo of uutold valuo to tho Mer-cantile Marine, and to the fleet in thecase of an outbreak of war.

Captain Cameron pointed out thatCanada has a. splendid system of wire-less beacons. These aro provided at allprominent lighthouses and lightships.When the weather is foggy the beaconis switched into action, and a distinc-tive note is picked up by ships. Thestato of the weather has no influenceon the signals, and by picking up twoor more beacons the officers of a shipcan plot their precise position on thechart.

MAY BE SOMETHING IN IT

"""The. magic and intricate working ofthe superheterodyne circuit or thotriode tube means nothing to tho aver-agelistener, but tho age; of Kate Smith,and the fact that a comedian is paid5000 dollars for a single broadcast, arevital statistics."—"New YorkTimes!"

The British Postmaster-General wasaskod recently how much had beenspent during tlie past five years by hisDepartment upon,research into remedialmeasures 'agairist'""''intbrf6ren.ee with*broadcast reception, SirKingsloy Woodreplied that tho total cost to tho PostOffice of engineering work in connec-tion with.broadcasting during the lastfive' financial! years was as follows:-—1928-29, £12,245; 1929-30, £16,493;1930-31, £23;lO3; 1931-32, £33,441;1932-33, £51,000. The expenditurewasmainly incurred in the treatment oi?complaints of electrical ~ Interferencewith "broadcast reception, including theresearch work which had been neces-sary to find remedies.

LUNG TROUBLESMorlife Tablets Proven

RemedyMorlife Tablets have pro\*en re-

markably beneficial in cases of WeakLungs, Threatening T.8.. Chest Colds,Anaemia, Loss of Weight, Loss oiVitality, Loss of Appetite, GeneralDebility, Loss of Blood through Opera-tion or Accident, Skin Eruptions, PaleComplexion, Nervousness, and WeakStomach. ~■■■■

Morlife Tablets contain no drugs andwill not kill pain, but,theybuild thebody to resist.

A case is. reported of a girl whocontracted T.B. end was so bad at theend of three years that the>-doctorscould do nothingfor her, the last onesaying he1, could only watch the case.She was over four months in a sana-torium, with no result. Then shestarted to take Morlife, and in twemonths she was out of bed helpingwith the housework.

Several testimesldis have been re-ceived as to the health-building,strength-restoring functions of Morlife,

"After using Morlife for some time,"writes one sufferer, "I have no hesi-tation in saying that it is the greatesjpreparation I have ever tried, andfrom the first few Tablets I fellstronger, and after a while able tcstand up to hard work. In short,Morlife is nothing less than wonder-ful."

Here is the appreciation of theparents of a Masterton girl:—

"For many years our daughter hassuffered from poorness of blood, andhas been under continuous medicaltreatment for some considerable time,with little apparent result. Threemonths ago we commenced treatmentwith Morlife Tablets. A distinct im-provement is already noticeable, andit gives us pleasure to testify to theextraordinary results obtained by theuse of Morlife."

Morlife Tablets are obtainable inthree sizes: 2s 6d, 4s 6d, and 6s fromthe following Chemists: E. T. Saun-ders Ltd., Perrett's Pharmacy, W. S.Wallace Ltd., The Gower Pharmacy.i

ANZAC DAY

SCHOOL SERVICES

ON PRECEDING DAY

: N0; objection is to be. offered by theexecutive',of'the Wellington ReturnedSoldiers' Association to;a proposal by

tho Wellington Headmasters' Associa-tion to hold.the Anzae Day services inthe gcliools on tho day preceding AnzaeDay. A decision to this effect wasmade, without dissent, after a thoroughdiscussion at tho meeting of the execu-tive last night. -:,In support of its proposal Head-masters' Association quoted, 'm a let-

ter, figures, relating to tho Anzacschool services in 1932 ana ltm.-Qijly41 per cent, of pupils between st»n(l-arris 1 ana 6 attenderj tlio school cere-monies, but practically all thfl t^cUqrg,except thosci prevented by laofc oftravelling: taciUties, or by ?H»efs, a*,,tended. Tho numbers 9( "&? 'PP11'varied greatly, in some pases no oneattending at all. Tl»e H(ja4niasters J

Association propose*} tp forward tbodata to the Education Board jviyth therequest that1 the service be'êia'pn theday preceding Anzac Day, as was al-ready done in the secondary schools. Itwished the1U.S.A.'s endorsement of thesuggestion. ■Colonel A. Cowles said that everyone■was satisfied that the vast majority ofthe teachers desired to bring home- tothe children the lesson of Anzac Day.No education board eouM compel theteachers or thechildren to attend schoolon Anzac Day, which was a statutoryHoliday, -but-,on-the-.- day,:bef0re,...there;,being no holiday, the messageof Anzac1would roach practically 100 per cent, oftbo children. "I can assure you thattho teachers: do not seek to make aholiday of Anzac Day," said theColonel, -and he-added that- theNiZiE.S.A. executive took a sympatheticview of the-'Headmasters' Associatioa'sproposal. - ' '.'.,-.-.

A member eommettted- that. ..therewere-absent from the.Cenotaph serviceon- Anzac Day -many adults who wouldbe there,but for tho schools' services.

In tho opinion pf the Rev. W. B.Scott tho whole. Anzac Day system inWellington should be overhauled. Hofavoured the holdingof- the school ser-vices .on the afternoon of the: ' daybefore and the concentration on onebig public servise. on the afternoon ofAnzac;Day. .He. made it clear that, theidea of Holding the school services onthe;preceding day was not the thin endof: tho..yedge, preparatory to hbldijigthe service on the nearest Sunday./

"Good commcrn sense" and "emin-ently practicable'" were other com-ments on the Headmasters' -Associa-tion's scheme,though Colonel G, T.Hall- feared that because of it AnzacDay might lose some of its sanctity, ;.■ Replying to an objection that the pro-posal might bo a hardship in outlyingdistricts where a lot of parents con-gregated at'the school service, ColonelCowles said that the Education Boardwould no doubt'make tho idea per-missive. ■"'.'.'" :■"" ': '■' .
