WHEN WAR CAME.PARLIAMENT'S SPIRIT
RESOLUTE AND CHEERFUL" CONSCIENCES AT REST."
(By JOHN GUXTHER.)LONDON. September 3,
The Mother of Parliaments becamesomething close to the mother of liberalmankind to-day. The House of Commonshas a long history but it can never havehad a more moving or distinguishingsession than the one this morning. I. hestream of British history flowing out ofWilliam the Conqueror, sweeping pastgreat islands like Elizabeth and Crom-well, has seldom been better demon-strated as a continuous process.
In the House of Commons to-day.meeting during an air raid alarm, twodominant figures were Mr. Lloyd George
and Mr. Churchill. It was Mr. Chamber-lain's day, but these two giants repre-sented yesterday, and perhaps to-morrow.
To-day Great Britain went to warwith Germany in order to preserve heressential position in Europe a nil theworld, almost exactly as she didyears and 20 days ago. Then, as now.Mr. Lloyd (Jeorge and Mr. Churchillwere in the House. To-day as the Houseassembled, Mr. Lloyd George sat withhis head bowed, his clipped mane ofwhite bobbed hair conspicuous like abeacon. His hands were crossed over hisstout chest. Mr. Churchill came in withhis shoulders hunched like a bull readyto charge.
It was not what either Lloyd Georgeor Churchill said that was important—though I thought Churchill made incom-parably the finest speech of the day—but what their presence must haveevoked in almost every member. Thesewere men who had seen the last warthrough. What could they offer now?What would their enormous experienceforetell? One would give a great dealto know what was in their minds, theirinner minds, as their thoughts wentback over this quarter of a century.
When war broke out in 1014, SirEdward Orev made the famous remark,"The lights of Europe are fading fast,the lights of Europe are going out."But neither Lloyd. George, who wasChancellor of the Exchequer then, norChurchill, who was First Lord of theAdmiralty, made any gloomy remarksto-day. And as Parliament met, the sunwas shining brightly. Churchill, aisalways, spoke extraordinarily sound,beautiful prose. He said, "In our heartsthis .Sunday morning there is peace. Ourhands may be active, our consciencesare at rest."
When Lloyd George rose, the Househushed. He talked in a very low voiceat first, very low. Someone called,"Speak up, speak up!" Then he toldthe House how he had been through allthis before.
Atmosphere of Relief.The House was very different to-day
compared with yesterday. It was solidto-day, grave, sol>er, solid and notgloomy. Xo' trace of the bewildermentand alarm that distinguished Saturday'samazing session. Jf there had been a-nyappeasement talk Mr. Chamberlainwould have been thrown out of office in10 minutes. The House was almost,believe it or rot, cheerful. There wasan atmosphere of relief that the unbe-lievable strain was over at> last, that theBritish people after all this suspenseknew finally where tliey stood.
The proceedings began—perhaps char-acteristically for the new historic periodwe are entering—with an air raid alarm.It was the second alarm of the morning.At 11.57 that unpleasant warbling sirensounded. Several members, in quite asdisciplined manner, rose as if to depart,which after all was the prudent thin"they were instructed to do. But acrossHorn the Government benches came acry, We stay Jiere, we stay here!"Everybody stayed.
Mr. Chamberlain came in at 12 7 andgot a big cheer. At 12.12 came the sirenindicating that the raiders had passed.It* echoes rolled through the House asc iiline Minister kept speaking. Theww
interesting remark in his speecha., I thought, a reference in the la«tpassage to the possibility of his future.I cannot tell ..what pant I , navbe allowed to play myself." The mainam piession I got was the ovtrwhelmintrunanimity and solidarity of the'Shpeople as represented in the HonCommons to fight this war, which no onewanted, to the finish. ODq

SYDNEY SCENE.
RACEGOER IN SHORTS.THRILLING CLIFF RESCUE.THREE WORKMEN KILLED.
(Fro-m Our Own Correspondent.)SYDNEY, October 6. :•?
"Going a bit too far"' was how amember of the State Parliamentdescribed the behaviour of a racegoerwho attended, the first day of the springmeeting at Randwick yearing only apair of shorts. Some of the newspapers ijpublished a photograph of lh<- man inliis unusual race garb. but apparentlynobody around him on the course took-any notice of his mieonventionality. AtNational Park <111 Sunday, however,youths who were wearing only swimmingtrunks while boating on -the river intlie sunshine were ordered by parkrangers to ]>ut 011 more clothes.
Police an<l members of Bondi SurfClub with great difficulty rescued a boy,lVter .Tones, 1"». wlio had trappc<l him-self oil a concave ledge of lock, 80ft .
from the top of the cliffs and 40ft al>ove \
the rocks below, while bird-nesting.With other boys he had worked bis wayup Hie'clifT to a height of about 4(>ft,when he .saw a pigeon's nest in a ledgelift below him. He jumped 011 to theledge and then found that because of -
the overhanging rock above he could notget back. The rescuers, called bv hiscompanions, at fir.-t tried to reach himwith a weighted rope in the hope thatit would swing back into the ledge, butthis attempt failed. Finally some of therescuers worked their way up the clifffrom the bottom to within about 10ftof the 'bov, while a ocach inspector waslowered a few feet over the top of thecliff. He threw a rope to the rescuersbelow, who, from their position, wereable to throw it the few feet to theboy, who was then drawn up to thetop. after he had been trapped on theledge for two hours.
Three workmen. ondea vouring toescape during the sudden collapse of awall which they were demolishing atNewcastle on Wednesday, were over-taken by the crashing structure andburied under 300 tone of bricks andgirders.
Passersby noticed tlie wall beginningto give. an<l shouted out warnings toeight men who were working on andbelow it. The eight mßde a frenzieddash for safety. One of the men, whohad been on a ladder when the wallbegan to sway inward*, was thrown tothe ground and crushed to death 'beforehe could regain his feet. A second hadalmost reached safety when he trippedon the uneven ground and was buriedby the avalanche of debris', and thethird victim was also overwhelmedwhile in flight. The thunderous crashof the 04ft wall and the dust cloudthat arose from it noon attracted a bigcrowd, who with the five men who hadescaped began tearing at the ruins evenbefore the duet had cleared, to get outthe three men who had been caught. Allof them were dimd, however, and hadbeen shockingly injured.
YOUNG PILOT'S FEAT.WESTERN FRONT BATTLE.
NAZIS MISLED BY J>IVE.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
LONDON", October 2.An R.A.F, pilot, one of the youngest
in France, emerged yesterday as heroof the first great air battle on theWestern Front.
Until the week-end, only "dog-fights"between one, two or three 'planes oneach side had taken place. Yesterdayseveral patrols were engaged in localair duels at the same time, and on thesame part of the front, above enemy
Gradually they drew nearerto each other, and finally a real battledeveloped.
Manoeuvres and tricks learned athome by French, British and Germanpilots and air gunners were used inearnest. A British single-seater 'plane,hopelessly surrounded and machine-gunned by several German 'planes, sud-denly dived and spun at stone-fallingspeed.
Both sides were convinced that it hadbeen shot down.
When only a few hundred feet fromthe ground the machine flattened outand soared again.
Its pilot took one of the German'planes by surprise, poured machine-gunliullets into it, and brought it down inflames.
When the R.A.F. Man—whose name isnot revealed—returned to his base andwas congratulated by his colleagues, itwas discovered that his cockpit had beenpierced by 40 machine-gun bullets.

BAYARD ALL THE WAY.CHIEF TROTTING EVENT.
SECURED LEAD AND HELD IT-
RED FLUSH IN SECOND PLACE.
Bayard ran a great race to win the chief event, the LabourDay Handicap, at the Auckland Trotting Club's meeting, whichis being concluded to-day in the presence of a large crowd. Hetook the lead early in the two-mile event and won easily from RedFlush, with Sandusky third. Mongolian, the popular selection inthe Junction Handicap, went better than on the first day and hadno difficulty in winning from Hillcrest and Kete Kura. DonAcron weakened over the last bit.
In the South trotting meetings are also being held at Oamaruand Greymouth, and galloping fixtures at Wellington, Cam-bridge, Waverley, Poverty Bay, Rangiora and Gore.
Gar Vaals led all the way to win the Farmers' Steeples atthe Waikato Hunt meeting. The Hunters' Hurdles saw Gadgerbeat Gaine's Choice by a narrow margin.
MONGOLIAN.
MAKES AMENDS.
A POPULAR VICTORY.
REVISION ALSO WINS.
LEELEETA REPEATS SUCCESS,
Leelecta, winner of the WaiteniataHandicap on the opening day, completedthe double when she won the Green
Lane Handicap to-day. She was neverfurther back than third md woreAudrey's down in the 'inn! fewstrides. The liot favouri'c, Sir Tonv,had every chance, newr oeing furtheiback than fourth and tha" was wherehe finished. Klliotvale wis 111 .eadersix furlongs from home ami Audrey sLast. Sir Tony and Leeleeta handy. Thisquartet was well clear crossing tlie topand although Audrey's Last led roundthe home turn, Leelceta finished best towin by a length. Frontier Boy was aneck in front of Sir T.my and Elli jtv.tle.
Favourite Gets There. 41
The red hot favourite Revision, whofinished second to Aldershot in tlie 1!>37-W3B New Zealand Derby in 3.21 2-<">,took the second division of the Im-provers' Handicap with something inhand, thus crediting M, Stewart with hisfourth success at the meeting. Neon Orotried to lead all the way but was nomatch for the winner, while BronzeKing, never worse than third, was de-feated on his merits. Nothing else everappeared to have a winning chance.Neon Oro led Bronze King and Maratuaearly, and after they had gone a roundRevision was going very easily in fourthplace. Two furlongs from home the last-named moved round Maratua and BronzeKinp to tail Neon Oro into the straight.Continuing her run, the favourite was infront at the half distance and won un-troubled by a length and a quarter.Bronze King was a length away in thirdplace well clear of Maratua, after whomenme Parish Ouoen and Silver Plane.The well-hacked Cavalryman broke upat the start and took practically no partin the race.
Punters on the Mark.Mongolian, who walked off the mark
on the opening day and was tailed offat the rear of the field and in a hope-less position after going half a mile,was singled out by speculators as thelikely winner of the Junction Handicapto-day. The punters' judgment was cor-rect. Mongolian left the barrier smartlyand took the lead before half the dis-tance had been covered and then jjo onto win ns he liked from Hillcrwt andKete Kura. Although Cyrano made playfrom Marcus and Don Acron early, Mon-golian ran to the front with three-quarters of a mile to go.

CAULFIELD CUP EFFORT.
RESPIRATOR UNLUCKY.
(Received 1 p.m.)
SYDNEY, this day.The Sydney "Herald's" Melbourne
correspondent says: "Rivette won theCaulfield Cup so well as to indicate shehas excellent prospects of winning theMelbourne Cup, in which he is handi-capped at 6.13. On Saturday she carried7.2 and even with the 101b penalty whichshe has been given she will carry only 71bmore than the weight with which sheadministered a trouncing to the CaulfieldCup field. There were one or two hard-luck stories after the Caulfield Cup, butnothing oc-currcd that could detract fromRivette's performance."
The "TelegraphV'" Melbourne correspon-dent says: "The unluckiest horse of theCaulfield Cup was Respirator. He drop-ped back to last and was still there fivefurlongs from the post, then threadedthrough the field and was rapidly over-taking the leaders in the last half furlong,but was too late."

SHORE 35 !
CRICKET COLLAPSE.COWIE SIX WICKETS.
H. Harrison's Fine BowlingSpell—Vallance Fields Well.
Despite the summer conditions the twosenior cricket matches at Eden Park to-day were remarkable for the slow rate ofscoring. At this early stage of the seasonthere ia a fair amount of grass on thepitches and this enabled the bowlers tokeep on top of the batsmen. The firsthour and a half's play this morning pro-duced only 65 runs by Pontonby-Balm oralagainst Middlemore, while Y.M.C.A.. thecrack ba •ting side last Saturday, farederen worse, only 49 runs going on theboard for t'he ioss of five wickets, thesame position as in the other game.
Two examples will suffice to illustratethe ascendancy of bat over ball. GrahamBurgess batted for well over half an hourto-day far only three runs, and H. J. H.Harrison, Eden's express, at one stagesent down 11 overs for only a dozen runs,for which he had taken three scalps.
A good day for Cleverley was indicatedwhen R. H. Cleave, the opposing skipper,was missed off him in the first two hallsof the match Ponsonb.v-Balmoral r. Middle-more. The bowlers were on top through-out the morning, only O. S. Cleal and ,T.R. Johnson of the Ponsonh.v batsmen doingany good by means of steady batting. F.M. Andrews and Clererley kept an accuratelength and dirided the honours in gettingPonsonby out by lunch for 102 runs.
Fast Bowlers Too Good.At Deronport in the Shore-Grafton game,
C. C. I>acre won the toss for the homeside and decided to hat on the same wicketas used in the Middlemore match onSaturday. The pitch was soft then andcut up badly by the follow through of thefast bowlers. During the week-end thewicket had baked hard and was very fierythis morning.
The Grafton express, J. Cowie. found itvery much to his liking, and was able tomake high speed from the pitch when heoccasionally went all out. After the Shoreopeners had put 20 on the board withoutloss the New Zealand fast bowler foundhis length, and that was the end of Shore !Only 15 more runs were added before theinnings was all orer in 80 minutes, andthe Shore side all back in the pavilion forthe miserable total of 35.
Bowling from the Cheltenham end witha fresh nor'-east breeze behind him. Cowiewas almost unplayable with his delireries,sometimes shooting and at other timesflying face high.
D. B. Edmonds (13) was the only bats-man to score double figures. N. L. Blanch-field (the Grammar Old Boys' Rugby full-back). on his first appearance in seniorcricket, was shaping well when a "fizzer"sent his bails flying.
Grafton opened with N. Ellis and C.Burke, who dug in for an hour beforelunch, to come within two runs of Shore'stotal. Simpson was always dangerous, butbowled without luck.
Matheson's Strategy.Upon winning the toss at Papatoetoe A.M. Matheson put Parnell in to hat. Fiftyruns were on the board for the loss of onewicket, but from then on wickets fell atregular intervals, eight men being out for120 runs at lunch."Gus" Vallance, who was the outstand-ing player in the Country Week tourney,
made three neat catches in the slips, whileHenry Cooper, keeping a good length, hadtaken four wickets for 18 runs with hismedium paced delireries when the playersleft the field for lunch.

MOTOR VISITORS.
INFLUX AT ROTORUA.
IMPROVED "ROAD MANNERS."
(By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.)ROTORUA, this day.
Possibly owing to the promised re-moval of the petrol restrictions, Rotoruaenjoyed a much belter Labour Day holi-day influx than was anticipated a weekor two ago wh?n the restrictions hadbrought visitor traii'.,- almost to a stand-still. the majority of hotels and board-inghouf.es were booked out and it was
, notice.ble to-day that a much largernumbjr of cars than at any time sincethe declaration of war on the roadaiid ar>out town garagos.
Filling stations reported much im-proved business. The bc-;v>ugh motorcamp was well patronised, there beingapproximately seventy cars in campyesterday, the number comparing veryfavourably with th? previous LabourDay week-ends.
Several excursion trains from Auck-land carried large numbers of visitorsto supplement the motor traffic. Theweek-end was free from motor accidents,with the exception af one minor col-lision involving a small bov and a motorcycle, and the traffic authorities reportedthat the standard of road mannersappeared to have undergone marked im-provement. The majority of motorists,it was stated, were driving more slowlvand night drivers, almost without ex-ception, were dimming their lights foroncoming traffic.
N6 special attractions were organisedbut various trips and scenic resortswere all well patronised. '
ALARM EXPRESSED.
FARMERS PROTEST.
"ALIEN ECONOMIC SYSTEM."
LOSS OF FREEDOM.
(From Our Corrcsr>onilent.)OTOROHAXGA, Sundav.
Strong protests against reeent Gov-eminent actions affecting the fa.rniiiis*community wore nuide at a specialmeeting ot the Otorolianga branch ofthe Fanners" Union. Mr. G. \V. L.Palmer presided over a large attend-ance.
The president expressed emphatic dis-approval of the present guaranteedprice. Ihe farmers, he said, claimedeconomic security, together with othermembers of the community—and theywere out to get it. Recently, publicworks employees were given a higherscale of wages, but tdie farmers wereas before.
Mr. \ , W . Ximms said it had beenstated that, meetings of protes-t shouldnot be held during- the war period. Hedid not agree. None were more lovalto tlie Empire than the fanners of theNorthern King Country, as the recruit-ing figures would prove. He moved:"Th.it, in aivordanee with the patrioticdesire of farmers to increase productionduring the war. this meeting is pre-pared for any sacrifice equal to othersections of the community, but em-phatically protests against the Market-ing Amendment Act, which under coverof emergency places primary indus'tryunder tlie permanent control of which-ever Government is in office, and de-mands the repeal of the legislationwithin twelve months of the temiina-tion of the present war." The resolu-tion was parried unanimously.
Production Decreasing.Mr. F. 0. I\. Phillips, Northern King
Country director on the New ZealandDairy Association, said no one wasmore willing to increase production•than those engaged in farming. Produc-tion, however, was steadily decreasing,as it was impossible to obtain sufficientlabour for tthe dairy farms.
A resolution was carried that "Miismeeting fully realises that the best con-tribution farmers can, at the moment,make to Xe\v Zealand and to theMotherland is increased production ofprimary produce, but must emphatic-ally draw the attention of the Govern-ment to the fact that a stimulus toproduction cannot be brought about solong as the farming industry, throughinadequate prices, is unable to pay com-petitive rates of wages and meet theincreased costs of production. With afull knowledge of our resi>onisibilitiesto the country, w • definitely express fcQieopinion that with increased costsnothing less than the price for dairyproduce suggested by the I>airy Indus-try Council in its representations totin Minister of Marketing is a just one,and should be paid for the 1939-40dairying season."
Amid loud cheers the meeting carrieda further resolution expressing alarmat "the rapid imposition of an alieneconomic system in New Zealand,affirming adherence to the principles ofBritish democratic freedom, urging "thefree men of the Dominion to join in ademand that no legislation v iolatinj*that freedom should be permitted,' andopposing the taking possession bv theState of the means of production, dis-tribution and exchange. The resolu-tion demanded restoration of economicrights within twelve months of thetermination of the hostilities.
FIERCE SCRUB FIRE.
LITTLE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
(By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.)
ROTORUA, this day
A lipavy pall of smoke drifting acrossthe hills 'in the direction of Waimanguyesterday brought anxious moments tothose whose thoughts turned to the wel-fare of the forests.
It had been reported early in themorning, however, by the watchmanabove the Whakareware\va plantationsthat the fire was some distance awayfrom the forestry boundary, and theplantations were at no time in danger.The fire was still burning at a late hourlast' night, although not so fiercely asit was early in the afternoon when itswept over a large area on the Rotoruaside of the Waimangu road.
Fanned by a westerly breeze theflames spread rapidly across severalmiles of scrub and tussock and burned,in addition, several small clumps ofnative hush in the valleys. There waslittle valuable timber in this, however,as much of it had been burned previ-ously. The cause of the fire is notknown.

A vastly enhanced wheatand other food production developed outof l lie extension ot a peacetime activity.
"Primarily Canada, will appear again inthe part of emergency food provider. She"will start out Irom a much more favour-able position than she did in 1014. Withher population but slightly augmented,the Dominion has added nearly 1t1.000,000acres to the arm of possible food produc-tion on top of the artificially swollenfigure of 1913. She is still able to exportmore than HO per cent of the wheat sheraises, which hi the record year 1928amounted to over SiIO.OOO.tHK) bushels. In1938 the crop was 350.000,000 bushels, andthifi year it promises to get near the400,000,000 mark.
Minoral Production."War power still depends largely onmineral#, and singe the signing of theArmistice there has been a great expan-sion of the Canadian mineral industry, the
annual value of minerals produced havingmore than doubled» Canada is still pro-ducing 87 pet' cent of the xvorld's supply ofnickel, a mineral in great demand for warpurposes. Iri addition, she accounts for11 per cent of the world's copper, JI percent of lead, and 1) per cent of zinc. Theiron and steel industry, whiuh under war-time stimulus reached an output figure ofover ft million tons of pig iron a year, ispresently equipped under peacetimedemand to produce 1.500,000 tons'annually.Upon the emergency wartime construc-tion of aircraft has been built a substan-tial industry to meet domestic require-ments, which in capable of considerableand rapid expansion. The investigationand development of natural resources,w'hich proceeds unceasingly in Canada,have in the post-war period revealed newpossessions of the utmost value to theEmpire in wartime.
Armaments Manufacture."Beforo the crisis of September, 1938,the British Government revealed that it
hoped to encourage the creation ofwar supplies industries which could beexpanded substantially through obtainingCanadian Government co-operation anaincreased participation in defence expendi-tures. It nuulo fcho placing of business inthe Dominion contingent upon Canada'sco-operating in the matter of expensethrough contributing to Empire defence.On this understanding the British Govern-ment undertook to supplement aDy Cana-dian Government orders with additionalorders sufficient to make it worth whilelor Canadian companies to install addi-tional machinery and make otther plantchanges necessary for development ofarmament manufacture. Much attentionlias also been given to the plant facilitiesof leading companies which obtainedexperience in armament production duringtha Great War and whose • ability tohandle war supplies work is knoxvn inGovernment circles as a result of planpurveys in recent years. 'It was revealedsome time ago that plans existed for therapid transformation o'f these factoriesfrom their peacetime occupations to themaking of shells.
Aviation Developments."More immediate is the co-operation
between Canada and Britain in prepara-tions for war in the air. . Geographicalposition alone would make this a logicaldevelopment since Canada is the onlyDominion accessible by air to Great Bri-tain without involving passage over anyforeign country, wihile, though remotefrom any likely theatre of war, 'planesmanufactured in Canada can be flown toBritain "nthout extra fuel tanks. Federaland Provincial Government and commer-cial aviation requirements in the post-xvarperiod have developed a substantial manu-facturing industry, to which Britain andthe United States have contributed andwhich is capable of considerable expan-sion. The Commercial Air Transport andManufacturers' Association, established in1934, comprises 16 operating companies, 15manufacturing companies, and eight asso-ciate member firms providing equipmentor service to the industry.
"Plans recently concluded involve notonly the placing of large-scale and long-term contracts with private Canadianplants for the manufacture of bombers butfor the training of flyers from Britain inCanadian sdhoo-ls. Nine of the Dominion'sleading industrial organisations haveformed a central organisation and arebuilding two plants for the constructionof these bombers, existing plants beingfound insufficiently large for the con-tracts of the British Government. The <preliminary order for long-range bombers 'involves an expenditure of nearly <100,000,000 dollars, which may be com-
pared with the 14.000,000 dollars spent by (the Imperial Munitions Board for the iconstruction of 'planes^in Canada in 1918. iIn addition, orders for training craft in ilange quantities are also anticipated from ithe British Government. i
"Individual manufacturers in Canada, areto build parts for the bombing 'planes, andtli" «liips will 'then bo completed andAssembled at the central plants, enginessiiipped from Britain installed, and thecraft flown across the Atlantic. Pilotst -r the British flying service will in thefirst place be trained at the Governmenttraining school at C'amp Borden, andthereafter an the plan expands other train-ing schools will be established for the pur-pose right across Canada. The success ofboth these branches of work would seemto be assured by the splendid recordsCanadian aviators a.nd manufacturers havealready made.
"A new field in which Canada hasrecently acquired some potential import-ance is that of oil production. It wouldbe a mistake to assume that the output ofthe Turner Valley field in Alberta willmake more than a minor contribution tothe Empire's oil resources. But it wouldalso be a mistake to conclude that thepresent production of between 20.(MR) and30.000 barrels per day represents a maxi-mum. It is the opinion of experts of theGovernment Geographical Survey Depart-ment that another field of crude oil otherthan the Turner Valley, which is the mainproducing area at present, wiil be foundin Alberta before long, and compared withthe mere strip of 25 miles which com-prises the Turner . allej producing fieldit has been estimated that 100.000 squareiniles in Alberta is favourable for oildevelopment.

REVIVAL MAINTAINED
"CONFIDENCE AND EASY MONEY."
(Briiisli Official Wireless.)(.Refi'ivi'd 1.4.-> ii.m.l
KLGBV, October 22.I lie ytock markets continue the revival
whirh staited a week auo when (lovern-ment stocks rose above fixed minimumpmes.
The 'Sunday Times" financial editorstates: "The thawing out of the gilt-edgedmarket i.-i liberating money all along theline." The "Financial News" states:"Wit'h the war only six weeks old themarkets h,ive largely recovered from theparalysis of tile initial shock. Over thepast, fortnight the improvement in prices,tone and volumeof business has been highlyencouraging." The newspaper points outthe responsible factors as reviving conti-dence and easy money, for. although thebank rate is still "at the illogical halfwaylevel between dear money and cheapmoney," there is evidence of an activepokey oi credit expansion. The news-paper comments that the rise might havebeen hijrher but for the sinking of theRoyal Oak. On the other hand but forthe agreement with Turkey the normalweek-end reaction might have been morepronounced, and says: —
"But t'lie fact remains that generally thetiend reflects rather underlying confidencein the ultimate outcome, which is largelyindependent ot such transitory influences,"
Although wholesale prices show anincrease of IVz per cent during the lastmouth. this increase can be explained byincreases in real costs and rising prices,and therefore no sign of inflation but anadjustment to new conditions and returnto normnl trading. Financial quartersthus regard the past week as an encourag-ing sign.
GAS INDUSTRY.
RELATION TO WAR NEEDS.
PRODUCTION OF T.N.T
In the course of his atldrees at thefitty-fii st annual meeting ot the ColonialGat* Association of the chair-man ot directors, Mr. P. C. Holmes Hunt,referred to the relation of the gas industryto the special needs arising from t'he war.
"During the 1914-1918 ivar.'' he sa.id,"the gas industry :n (Irea-t Britain ivaacalled upon to provide in an unpre-cedent'ed manner raw materials whidhwere the essential starting point fromwhich practically .the whole of the highexplosives for shells were built up. Agreat demand for toluene was created, andthe gas industry was called upon toextract from gas all the benzene andtoluene that could be obtained.
| "Special plants were established for tfliis[ purpose in no fewer than 600 individualpis works in Great Britain, the toluenel>e.n« used for the production of the well-known explosive T.N.T. During llie fouryeai s of the war a total approaching250.000 tons of T.N.T. had 'been manu-factured in Great Britain. At somcgasworks the nianufactiit ing process is suchthat to-day the yield of toluene would heless than would have been t'he case 25years ago. Nevertheless, a light spirit con-tinuing iben/.ene and toluene can >be cx-'tracted front the gas quite siiita.hle as aligiht motor spirit for internal combus-tion engines, and from which foluene could
■be separated if the occasion really arose."In Great Britain the national require-
ments were also ;issisted by the gas in-dustry in tllie sitipiply of a Considerableamount of oil from the distillation of farfor fuel for naval purposes.
"In the event of the gas industry inAustralia being called upon to assist theCommonwealth I have no doubt the re-sponse will be just fhe same as that of■the gas industry in Great Britain, whichis now responding a second time in agreat national emergency."

Theyindicate the quieter state of trade duringthe winter and early spring, when exportsare low and internal trade is quieter, andthe greater activity in the summer timeand the flush of the export season.The effect of - a rise in prices of com-modities in raising the volume ot fundsneeded for business must not be over-looked.The latest returns indicate quieter trad-ing conditions not only by comparisonwith recent months but also relative tothe corresponding month in 1938 and 1037.

NEW IMPORT SCHEDULES.
SETBACK TO PRODUCTION,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Sunday."It is evident from the schedules that
a great deal of careful consideration liasbeen' given to the making of the deci-sions," says a statement Icy the XewZealand Manufacturers' Federation. "Alarge proportion of the sterling fundsavailable has l>een allotted to materialslor manufacturing industries, uponwhich there now devolves the duty ofmaking the best possible use of theselicences for the l>e.nefit of the country asa whale.
"The amount of sterling funds avail-able is not large," the statement con-tinues. "Accordingly, for this furtherreason the federation makes an appealto all in industry, both employers andworkers, to use every effort toward themost economic and efficient productionas a special wartime effort.
"Unfortunately these schedules shouldhave been brought down some monthsago in order to preserve continuity ofmanufacturing. In practically all indus-tries orders for materials from overseastake some months for delivery, and inmany cases a great deal longer.
"The position regarding the length oftime necessary in respect of orders formaterials is, of course, even worse inthe present state of war. It is to beregretted, therefore, that this setbackhas been given not only to the expan-sion <>f industry, which has been sosedulously fostered and encouraged bythe Minister of Industries and Com-merce. but even to the continuity ofproduction."
HARDSHIP FORESEEN.
U.K. MANUFACTURERS' VIEW.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)WELLINGTON, Saturday.
The president of the United KingdomManufacturers'Xei* Zealand Representa-tives' Association, Mr. David llsaidthat the country was faced with fur-ther restrictions which would cau.?eprrcat hardship to the [teople of NewZealaud a* a whole, and would tendrapidly to increase unemployment. Com-mere© was in a prreat state of confusion,and with the advent of war had beenfurther disturbed.
The export of primary produce, whichwas the lifeblood of New Zealand, waspossible only through the goodwill andco-operation of Britain and the BritishNavy. It must be a matter of deepregret to a large, body of New Zealandersthat the state of internal affairs'shoulddebar them at this time from renderingassistance to Great Britain by providingto a fuller extent the sinews of war—Britain's export trade.

AT HOPUHOPU.[ ARMY IN TRAINING.
GROWING EFFICIENCY.
ARTILLERYMEN AT WORK.
Almost overnight New Zealand'sTohinteprs hare become an army; more-over, an army that should worthilyuphold the high traditions of theN.Z.E.F.—one of the finest fightingbodies in t'he world. Three weeks incamp ha* worked wonders. There isnow an air of efficiency at Hopuhoputhat was lacking in the early stages ofmobilisation, and erstwhile civiliansmove, think and talk like soldiers.
Despite wet weather during the pastthree weeks, training ba» been pushedahead according to schedule. Dampnesshas caused colds in many cases, but themen have been able to throw them off,and they are stated by their officers tobe healthier and fitter than when theyentered camp. "There are still coldsabout, but the men are becomingtougher," said an officer to a "Star"representative who visited the camp.Bronzed (faces and active bodies'bore outthe statement.
This week the men have entered intoimore advanced phases of training. Theyhave had four route marches, the lengthbeing gradually increased. The longestday trek so far has been 13 miles, andon Friday evening there was a imarchof several hours after dark. Ultimatelythe troops will 'be able to cover 20 milesin a day .without distress.
So far there is no band in the camp.Most units march to the beat of thedrum, and one has a piper. However,there is one company where an interest-ing experiment of teaching marchingwithout a dram is being tried. Theresults are stated to be satisfactory,the men acquiring a natural rhythm ofmovement. j
The scope of the training of the rifle-men is being extended. Already theyhave mastered the finer points of thei
handling of small arms, and are now-engaged in snap-shooting and targetpractice.
Full War Kit.Artillerymen carry their gas masks
with them constantly and during workon the guns wear them as practice.While shouting orders through theenveloping folds of a service gas maskis stated to be far from easy, yet thebattery seems to be able to pick up theinstructions. Using the modern pneu-matic-tyred field guns, the troops atXgaruawahia, have made remarkableprogress.
So far training has been confined totechnical instruction in the gun park,also the elementary work of limberingand moving the guns into firing position.However, the teams have progressed tothe point when actual firing will beundertaken. 'With mechanised transport—there are no horses in the camp—abattery can go into action more quicklyand with a smaller team.
Training in machine guns—Vickersand Bren is going ahead rapidly, whilein the field squads are being initiatedinto the arts of bayonet drill. Vastquantities of stores and equipment areavailable for the use of tbowhose early training is on technicallines. More spectat-u.ar opei-atiu.™ ......
commenced in the near future, whenbridge-building and similar work willibe done.Rapid progress is being made with theconstruction of the new post office atthe camp. At the present time twomarquees house the postal facilities, butthese are stated to be entirely inadequatefor the needs of nearly 3000 menalthough the permanent post office staff
is receiving assistance from fatigue par-ties of soldiers. Mail is stated to beparticularly heavy, and sorting anddelivery require at least ten men.

EYE-WITNESS' VIEW.
WEST FRONT CAMEO.
VIVID ACCOUNT OF FIERCEFIGXTING.
WHERE THREE LANDS MEET.
(Special.—By Air Mall.)LONDON, September 23.
The first eye-witne«s story from theWestern Front, by Hester Marsden-Smedley, an English woman journalist,was published this week in the London"Sunday Express."
From Schengen, on the Luxembourg-German frontier, she writes:—Standingamid the near-ripe vines which makethe famous Moselle wine, I have beenwatching fierce fighting in this three-cornered country, where Germany,France and Luxembourg meet.
French tanks left the German villageof Perl and clambered up the hill. Thebombardment was two kilometres awayfrom where I was standing, the objec-tive being an observation tower in afortified wood. There were great puffsof black smoke over the wood, thesound following seconds later, echoingand shaking through the valleys.
After each ten minutes of heavy firingthere followed quick, fierce, machine-gun fire. The ground a few yards be-yond the river was suddenly rent byshells. A house in the German villagfeof Salmdorf blew sky high, probably anammunition store. The smell of pow-der was overpowering.
Old peasant men unconcerned wenton hoeing, save when they stopped fora moment to say "good-bye" to tearfulwomen evacuated from the Luxembourgvillage of Schengen, where Germansearlier blew up the Luxembourg-ownedbridge. Lorries now rushing extraguards to the neutral frontier are re-turning laden with women and children,washing, chickens, ducks, mattresses.
The Luxembourg Customs officer, outof a job for the moment, for there islittle frontier traffic, tells me that he

penetrate along the railway line oppo-site. There had been hand-to-handfighting. Then the French had goneback, "not retreated," he emphasised—just gone back.
As he spoke he gripped my collar andpushed me down. I swallowed a mouth-ful of sand as the world burst aboutmy ears. I peeped cautiously round thesandbags. A mine had exploded in themiddle of the permanent way across theriver. In a few moments I saw theguard across the river doubled, and amachine-gun mounted upon the bridgewith its squad of grey uniformed tin-hatted men.
There has been an as yet unreportedviolation of Luxembourg neutrality fur-ther along the River Moselle. A "dozenGerman pigs swam across from theirshore and scrambled into Luxembourg.Their excuse was that when the villagesopposite had been suddenly evacuatedat an hour's notice., they, together withcattle and poultry, had been left un-tended.
Pigs swim, so over they came. TheLuxeinbourgers interned them all right.Being extremely kind-hearted—and wellfed—folk, they returned some of thepork to their neighbours when a fewcame back and demanded it. But theydid it with outspoken expressions andemphasis on their lack of welcome forGerman pigs.

GRAPHIC STORY.
EVACUATING LONDON.
PEOPLE FROM THE SLUMS.
COWS CAUSED A PANIC.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.A graphic story of the evacuation of
women and children from the slums ®fLondon to an unknown destination afew days before the outbreak of war, oftheir reactions to the country and theirstrong desire to return to more familiarsurroundings, is told in a letter receivedby Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Deare, of NewPlymouth, from their daughter, MissJoan Deare, who acted as a LondonCounty Council officer during that period.
Evacuation was commenced on Friday,September 1, and Miss Deare took upher duties on the following day. Trans-port was disorganised, even some of the■underground stations being closed, aoidto reach the school where she was tomeet her party was not easy.
"I arrived at Rising* Hill School at8 a.m., after walking and taking thebus and generally trying to cover thedistance,"she writes. "Iwas wearinganL.C.C. official armlet and it was a magicpassword. Many people, rich and poor,wished me luck; a waitress poured outher sorrows, policemen gave way andfrom that moment I felt how friendlyand wonderful our English nation waswhen the call came."
Fifteen Policemen.The people over whom Miss Deare
had charge were from an extremely poordistrict from behind King's Cross, wherethe usual night police patrol was 15men to one street. Mothers and childrenunder five, each with a little bag of thesheer necessities, were collected at theschool. The march to King's Crossstatiori was a difficult affair, and thehusbands saying farewell to their wivesand children was a pitiful sight. Yetthere was not a tear among&t them.
"We huddled into the carriages, com-pleting a train load of approximately700 evacuees," continues Miss Deare."Our school evacuated 300 mothers andchildren and we consisted of a partyleader and six escorts. At Peterboroughthe train was stopped for a few minutesand there were buckets of water andcups for every carriage."
At Spalding, a town in Lincolnshire100 miles north of London, the trainwas met by welfare workers, guidesand scouts. Evacuees were assisted tothe cattle market near by where every-one went through a medical examination.•Some were sent to hospital.
From there they passed throughbarriers in the pig pens to await trans-port to their final destinations.
There was a humorous side as well asa pitiful to the story. Women andchildren, never having seen a cow before,went into a panic on seeing them at thecattle market. Childrefi stood agapebefore an apple tree, having-only seenapples loose in shops. Two boys, seeinga ladybird for the first time, stated-fora few minutes, then one exclaimed, "Gor'blimey, 'Arry, it's a borg (bug)."
FALL IN ORCHIDS.
THE FAMOUS "JOE'S."
£25 PLANTS GO FOR 10/.
(Special.—By Air Mall.)
LONDON, September 23.The late Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,
father of Britain's Prime Minister, wasfamous for his orchids. Many of hischoicest plants were included in a col-lection of 5000 orchids offered for sale'in Birmingham this week.
The orchids were the property of thelate Sir William Walters Butler. Overa period of years Sir William spent morethan j£15.000 on the purchase of orchids.At times he paid £250 for a single plant.On the death of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,who was a close, personal friend, SirWilliam acquired the bulk of Mr. Cham-berlain's collection.
Plants which had cost £25 each weresold for as little as 10/. A reason forthe low bidding is that owing to the warbuyers fear they may not be able toobtain enough fuel to keep greenhousesproperly heated.
NEWS MUDDLE.PRESS KEPT GUESSING.
OFFICIALDOM AT SEA.
AIR TRAINING SCHEME.
(Prom Oar Own Correspondent.)
SYDNEY, October 17.
j "The ghost of Britain's 'MumblingMinnie' reached out to befuddle the■people of Australia on Tuesday night."[With this cutting introduction the"Daily Telegraph" told the public howBritish officialdom h*d blundered inannouncing the biggest Empire war newsto date—the scheme to make Canada thecentre of a vast new air effort. Whathappened was this:
The afternoon papers that day pub-lished a London cable "riving the firstoutline of the scheme. The same even-ing the Prime Minister, Mr. Menzies,told the newspapers they could statenext morning that the CommonwealthGovernment would send the Minister forCivil Aviation, Mr. Fairdairn, to Canada.One of the FederalDepartments, Canada,issued a request to all the newspaper®that nothing be said about any Ministergoing to Canada or anywhere elseabroad. When this was referred to Mr.Menzies he said it did not refer to hisofficial statement abO|Ut Mr. Fairdairn.
The newspapers accordingly wentahead with the story, but just on mid-night, when their first editions werebeginning to run, they began to receiveurgent calls from various Federal De-partments and military authorities in-structing them not only not to mentionanything about Mr. Fairndairn goingabroad, but to withdraw the whole reportabout the air training scheme—this afterthe outline of it had already appearedin the afternoon papers. It was toolate to withdraw the story from thefirst edition, but all the newspapers, withthe exception of the few country oneswho could not do so because of theirprinting arrangements, pulled it out ofsubsequent editions which, for wme ofthem, meant remodelling the wholepap*. TWght till 2aJn. the miiiiMjW
authorities kept communicating withthe newspapers to make sure that thestory had been withdrawn.
Announced In London.At that very hour the British Air
Minister, Sir Kingsley Wood, wasannouncing full details of the schemein the British House of Commons. Itwas explained later the same day byMr. Menzies that it had been agreedwith the British Government that, state-ments concerning the plan should bereleased simultaneously in Britain andAustralia, but after he had released' hisown statement he received an urgenstmessage through the Dominions- Officestating that the proposed announcementby Sir Kingsley Wood might not be.made and asking that he should there-fore postpone making his own statementin Australia. Apparently when SirKingsley Wood finally decided to makethis statement it never occurred to any-one to advise Mr. Menzies of tiedecision.
The net results to Australia was'thaian important statement, which belonged,as much to Australia as to Great Britain,was first sketched in the evening Press,given in fuller form to the morningpapers, partly held up, reaffirmed, can-celled and finally transmitted fromLondon. Mr. Menzies, in his statementexplaining how the muddle had occurred,expressed his regret at the inconveniencewhich the newspapers had been put to.In a sub-leader which it headed bluntly"An Apology Due," the "Sydney Morn-ing Herald" said that to describe asinconvenient the confusion created, byorders to suppress the news was to usea very mild term. It stated that itwould be hard to find a more deplorableexample of official bungling and dis-courtesy—-to use no harsher words—andadded that if Mr. Menzies, in his re-ported protest to the British Govern-ment, expressed what others were say-ing, more than one chair in Whitehallwould become highly and deservedlyuncomfortable.

NEUTRAL SHIPS' PERIL.
for thr cause that lacks assistance,For the. wrong that reeds resistanoe,For the future in the distance.And the pood that ice ran do.
The German announcement thatattacks upon all ships carryingcontraband will be "expanded andsirengthoned" in order to imperil theconvoy system is a compliment to theachievements of the Royal Navy sincethe war began. German merchantshipping has been driven from thesens, and the efforts of the Nazisubmarines to cut off supplies en routeto the I nited Kingdom in Britishships have had a negligible degreeof success when measured against thetotal of British merchant shiptonnage. So now it is announced—though action long preceded' theannouncement—that neutral shipscarrying contraband will he exposedto greater danger, and that thoseaccepting British convoy will betreated as enemy ships. The rightsof. neutrals are of course not a matterwith which the Nazi Government islikely to concern itself. If a ship iscarrying supplies to Britain it is tobe treated as an enemy and, ifpossible, destroyed without warning.The qualification about "carryingcontraband" is of course a politefiction. A British cruiser or destroyermay hold up a neutral ship suspectedof carrying contraband, and Britishnaval officers can satisfy themselvesabout the nature of the cargo andact accordingly. But a Nazi submarine,and still less a Nazi bombing 'plane,cannot attempt these formalities. Itcan launch a torpedo (5r drop a bomb,or it can refrain from doing so. Thelatest German announcement is anintimation that a neutral ship willnever be given the benefit of a doubt.If it is possible to sink it, it will besunk.
The nature of modern war and theweapons used in it have made theposition of neutrals engaged inmaritime commerce increasinglydifficult, and particularly if theneutrals are small nations. Even aPower as great as the United Stateshas had to realise not only the dangersof maritime traffic in war zones butthe increasing likelihood of disputesover neutral rights involving it inactual war. It is not only that warhas become "totalitarian" and thatthe definition of "contraband" haswidened. The weapons used by aPower which dare not send surfacecraft on the high seas tend by theirnature to preclude discriminationbetween enemy ships and neutralships. But the United States cotild, ifnecessary, sustain the loss of itsforeign trade; small countries cannot.They must go on, or else accept acondition equivajent to that whichwould bo theirs if they were defeatedin war. Whether the Scandinavianand other small countries areaccepting the protection of Britishconvoy, and if so to what extent,is not revealed. They would be jcommitting an unneutral act by sodoing, but their choice would seem tobe between that and the virtualdestruction of their trade; and theycould with full justice contend thatthe theory of international law, undermodern bears but slightrelation to the actual conditions theirships have to meet at sea.
PETROL SUPPLIES.
Motorists generally and thetransport trade in particular willwelcome the removal of restrictionson petrol sales in a month's time. Theholiday season will then be imminent,and plans can be made free from thefear of being 1 marooned a hundredmiles from home because the couponshave run out.

season by the West I'.nd Bowling Clubon Saturday -Mr. ,\. K. Ford, speakingas a representative of the centre, re-minded his hearers that the first bowl-ing club in Lngland was formed farback as 1200.

Mission Sunday.In Roman Catholic churches through-
out New Zealand yesterday was cele-brated .Mission Sunday with specialcollections tor the foreign missions. Bydiieetion of His Holiness the I'ope, everyl atholic throughout the world is askedto give a halfpenny a week to missionsand this is collected in the sum of 2/2on Mission Sunday. Last year NewZealand was placed first on a propor-tionate basis of all -countries in theworld, Holland being next.
Motor Sales Improve.An Auckland motor salesman, whodeals in second-hand cars, in discussingthe petrol restrictions to-day, said thatwithin the past fortnight there had beenrenewed activity in his line of business.
On Friday and Saturday of last week,lie said, he had made a' total of threesales. This, he considered, reflected thestate of the trade generally, and nowthat the petrol restrictions were to bolifted it was expected that there wouldhe a sharp increase in the car salesbusiness.Magpies Worry Tuis.
It was mentioned at a recent meetingof the executive of the Forest and BirdI lotection Society that magpies per-sistently worried tuis in Wiltons Bush(the Wellington municipality's reserveof native forest in the Wadestown\ alley). Mrs. Knox Gilmer said thatmagpies also persecuted tuis in hergarden at Te Mania in the Hutt Valley.When food was put out for those beauti-ful singers and other welcome visitors,such as white-eyes, the greedy magpiesswooped in. It was necessary to standguard (\nd drive the intruders away.Otherwise the marauders would gobbleup the whole of the fea«t.
Those Island Homes.Rangitoto cottage owners who have
had to leave the island under the Emer-gency Regulations as a defence measureare considering their position as far ascompensation is concerned. One of theleaseholders said to-day that he recog-nised that the Defence Department wascompelled to take the steps it hadtaken, but so far no arrangements hadbeen made to compensate the owners ofcottages who would now have to renthouses elsewhere if they desired tospend the summer week-ends and holi-days at the seaside. "Suitable cottagesare difficult to obtain," he said, "andthe rents have teen steadily advancingin recent years. If the war lasts thethree years that Britain is preparingfor, our island cottages will be in a badstate of repair."Petrol Freedom.
Freedom to purchase petrol at anystation without producing coupons orspecial order forms will be appreciatedby motorists and petrol re-sellers alike.Many have been the subterfuges inrecent weeks by people who have usedtheir coupons or filled tlicir tanks tothe maximum provided under speciallicenses. "Nobody will be more pleasedthan I when the restrictions cease," saidthe owner of a country bowser stationto-day. "I found that it did not payme to keep open on Sundays or at nighttime, and I was frequently confrontedby people who had run out of petroland had used their coupons or haddrawn to the maximum of their speciallicenses. When the restrictions werefirst introduced I used to fill tip thetanks to the quantity ordered and thenask for the coupons. This was all rightfor the first week, but after that I was'caught' a couple of times by men whohad not the necessary authority, andnow nobody can fill up until the orderor coupon is produced first. I have metmany other resellers who have had thesame experience find we will all be |thankful when the * restrictions are jlifted completely."
Queensland Harbour.Costing £1,040,000. the construction
of a breakwater harbour at Maekay,Queensland, comprises one of the largestengineering undertakings ever carriedout in that State. The harbour wasofficially opened in Augurt by the Pre-mier of Queensland, the Hon. W.Forgan Smith. The scheme ha 3 a linkwith Auckland, inasmuch as it was de-signed by a firm of consulting engineer*in this city, Messrs. Mandeno, Lee andBrown. The port of Mackay, 650 milesnorth of Brisbane, is the centre of oneof the most prolific sugar producing dis-tricts in Queensland. In the past theport was served by the tidal riverPoineer, which was navigable only atliigh water, barges being used to lighterthe sugar to coastal and overseas shipsanchored one mile and a half from theriver month. It was -felt, however, thatthe potentialities of the district justifiedthe construction of a deepwater harbour,and the plan submitted by the Aucklandfirm was adopted. That provided for abreakwater harbour three miles to thenorth of the river mouth, and connectedto tile town and the main system ofQueensland railways by four 'mile# ofline. A Royal Commission approved thescheme, and finally the t iovernmcutagreed to subsidise the work to the ex-lent of £2"><UM)O. the ratepayers of thedistrict t<» find the balance of themoney. The harbour consists of anorth and south breakwater enclosingnil area of HO acres ut low water. The(south wall is 4240ft long, and the otherwall 3315ft. To date 1,475,437 tons ofGtone have been used. The width of theentrance is 600ft, and the low waterdepth 30ft.
America's Discovery.In his book, "Here Was Vinland,"
James W. Curran. editor of the "SaultSt. Marie Star," draws the conclusionthat Norsemen ventured into the Great
| Lakes Region of what is now Canada• and the L nited States about the'yoari 10IX), nearly years before Columbus
: "discovered" America.
Builders Active in Queen Street.I lie sight ot one Queen Street build-
ing being altered is commonplace, butonly occasionally does one find fourbuildings on opposite corners of thestreet receiving the builders' attention.This is now the case at the WellesleyStreet end of Queen Street. The busi-nesses are a cafe, an ironmonger's shop,a drapery establishment and an hotel.
Swimming Yesterday1 aking advantage of the bright sun-
shine yesterday, many people wentswimming. Attendance at the ParnellBaths was not as high as might havebeen expected, but this was probablyduo to tlie high tide at Judge's Bayproviding a strong counter attraction.Should the weather hold out there isevery indication that 1040 will see abumper swimming season.
Wise Old Hen.An Auckland youth who won a hen
in a sixpenny 'raffle the other daypioudly bore his trophy home with everyintention of "giving it the axe" for Sun-day dinner. I lie hen was put in a boxovernight, and great was the joy andsurprise next morning when it was dis-covered that she had laid an egg. Herlife was temporarily spared and sincethen she has laid four more. A littlecalculation reveals that she has morethan paid the cost of the raffle ticket.But it will be just too bad for thathen if she forgets to lay this week.
Taxis Don't Pro/it.lhat the lifting of the petrol restric-
tions would have a good effect on thetaxi business as well as the motor carsales trade was the opinion expressedbv an Auckland taxi man to-day. Itwas the general impression that taxishad benefited considerably by the re-strictions. he said, but that was not thecase as there had actually been lessbusiness. People were not movingaround so much and there was a gcai-eial feeling that they were assisting theGovernment by refraining from usingpetrol. Normality in the sale of petrolwould be welcomed by taxi men.
Did the Painter Err?Late on Saturday afternoon a painterwas busily painting numbers on the bow
and stern of an Auckland ferry boat.There were four numbers to be painted,and upon completion it appeared to thelayman that "someone had blundered,"for two of the numbers read 124 whilethe others read 421. Whether this wasintentional or not is a matter for con-jecture. but from appearances it wouldseem that the painter had made a mis-take. Still, the craft is. a ferrv boat,a double-ender so far as bow is con-cerned. and the 421 at the stern oneway becomes 124 when the ferrvreverses direction without turning ftndthe stern becomes the bow.Sport Out of Season.
While Aucklariders were thinking onlyof sum inor sports to-dav, members ofthe crew of a British ship in port werepractising with a Soccer ball in an openspace on one of the wharves. As thesun blazed down from a cloudless skv.it was warm work keeping the fast-moving ball in motion on a smooth con-crete surface, and soon the energetickicking, ducking and heading, which area part of the equipment of a seasonedplayer, gave way -to more leisurelyefforts. "Won't be much big Soccer inKngland this season, I'm thinking,"remarked an officer as he looked on. "Atbest teams will be only half-strengthand the public will have other thingsto do, instead of watching footballmatches."
Pheasant Nest in Suburbs.While following the life of birds
which frequent the bush, a plieasunt haschosen the locality of a garden in theKohimarama district to make a nest,with a view to rearing its young. Thenest, lined with dry grass, is on theground, about a chain and a half backfrom the road, and has a shelteringcanopy of herbago to obscure it fromview. When found, early this month,it contained six eggs, and since then thenumber has increased to a dozen. Inthe daytime the hen pheasant, whichis always alone when in the vicinity ofthe nest, is usually away on foragingexpeditions, but towards eveningreturns apparently to spend the night.Whitcish in colour, the eggs are betweenthe size of a starling's and a smallpullet's, and the dozen make a comfort-able nest full.

The beaches, both near to an<l distantfrom the cit.v. presented scenes of life,
gaiety and colour as men. women ancl
children dashed in and out of the sea,
or continued from Saturday and yostei-dav the sun-tanning process. Motorists,welcoming the announcement of theearly lifting of restrictions on the useof petrol, were in greater evidence thansince the outbreak of war. With andwithout caravans, they were toeverywhere, picnicking in shady nooksin the country or at the seaside, whilethroughout-the week-end the WaitakereScenic Drive was particularly popular.
Waterfront Scene.There were animated scenes on the
waterfront as launches, ferries andcoastal boats drew out for the islandsin the gulf, laden with holidavmakcrs.For the first time this summer Aucklandturned out in sports attire, althoughthe men were less courageous than theirwomenfolk. Light grey and whiteflannels were the order for the men,with shorts at a premium, but the girlsmade up the deficiency. Shorts andgaily-coloured light dresses were theorder, with head scarves taking theplace of hate.
There were many not-able last-minutedashes to catch the boats. Familiesstreamed down Central wliarf to theDuchess, bound for Waiheke andKawau. A young man carrying an out-size in hampers did even time to arriveas the gangway was being lifted andsent a, taxi back to pick up his com-
panion who was toiling along in themiddle distance. They all managed tosqueeze 011 board, and to the twangingof ukuleles and an irrepressible mouthorgan the Duchess swung into thestream.
There were crowds 011 the ferries,which left for the nearer beaches andMotuihi, some bearing the registrationnumber required under the new harbourregulations. But the crowd on board—shorts, blazers, bathing suits, hampei'3and all, were not worrying about thewar. They ware off to enjoy the firstholiday of the summer.
Origin of Holiday.The Labour Day week-end represents
the last long break before Christmas,and Aucklandci's indeed made the mostof it. But few, no doubt, paused to askjust how they came to be enjoying alazy day when normally they would betolling in shop, workshop aiid office, ormerely wielding the modest pick. Theholiday has been observed siijce 1809,when provision was made for it by anAct passed by the Seddon Government.It was in that year that the slogan,"Eight hours' work, eight hours' play,eight hours' rest and sleep, and eightbob a day,' ushered in a new era forworkers throughout the Dominion.
In earlier years the holiday wasmarked by a monster procession—withrepresentatives of all unions participa-te"?—which ended up at the Domainwhere a gala and sports day was held,'not forgetting a baby show. Those dayshave gone, however, and the sports atthe Domain, while they still attract theirthousands, have dwindled in importanceon the year's sporting calendar.
•Actually Labour Day is one of the fewstatutory holidays brought into being. •>' A(* of Parliament, and althoughit dates back to 1899, for many year*prior to that the anniversary was'cele-brated voluntarily by trade uniongroups as the 'eight hour day."

AIR FORCE'S WORK.
YOUNG FLYERS' PART.
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR "SUBS."
BRITISH MORALS HIGH.
(By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.A typical description of the part many
young Royal Air Force men, many ofthem New Zeal&nders, and quite a fewformer New Plymouth men, are playingin the war is given by Pilot-Officer A.H. Ryan, formerly of Lemon Street,New Plymouth, in a letter to a friendin New Plymouth.
Life at a Royal Air Force station inNorthern Ireland ig described in a letterwritten by Flying-Officer Watson Turnerand received by his parents in NewPlymouth, Senior-Sergeant E. T. C.Turner and Mrs. Turner.
Writing 011 September 4 from hisstation in Yorkshire, Pilot-Offiear Ryansaid: "Waiting for this war to startwas monotonous, doing 21-hour dulyand few patrol*, but now we arcsettling intj) a routine and regularpatrols and at certain times can get offthe citation as relaxation.
"Hubert (Pilot-Officer Hubert Keller,formerly of Xew Plymouth) is squadronnavigation officer and is at present work-ing in our control room. Ha'a an efficientnavigation officer.
"I was to have done the navigationcourse, but was recalled and now takea 'plan*? up when required, usually onehour before dawn for three to fourhours and in the evening, landing afterdark. I carry a- navigator, a W.T. (radio)operator and' a re.iv gunner and get sailon an easterly comve to reconnoitre,shadow and report on enemy ahips, sinkany that are small enough and sinksubmarines, <

up to now it's been taking off withoutlights iu the rain ad fog, with cloud-hidden barrage balUons on one fide andcloud-covered hill# on the other and fly-ing-all the time on the instrument panel,often not being fible to sej past thefront of the 'plane. It's rather fun tojust skim along the water, but wheneverpossible I get heigh; to see better.
"So far I've met 110 hostile aircraft,but my front gun is itching to go."I'm sorry th'a war was begun. It's a
terrible tiling to sink a whole submarinejust because Hitler wants his way andsends them out, and I've a fear of hit-ting one of our own subs.
'Balloon barrages and clouds, our ownsearchlights and anti-aircraft guns alladd to our fun and it's a little"excitiii" 1at times. I've struck an interesting jobeven if I don't get much sleep at night."Flving-Officer Turner's fetter "waswritten on September 6 from Aldersrovestation, 14 miles from Belfast inNorthern Ireland. He had been, trans-ferred there from Xorth Cotes, nearGrimsby, 011 the east coast of England,two days after war began.
"German submarines are all aroundthe coast here, but our aircraft keeptheir movements always known," wroteFlying-Officer Turner. "Some of uswent into Belfast last night, but therewere very few about. It is hard 'to findones way round as every light isscreened after dark.I.R.A. Terrorists.
"When we go into Belfast at nMitwe have to carry loaded revolvers as asafety measure. Ihe I.R.A. terroristsgot hold of a soldier there the otherevening, tore his uniform off him andthen shot him dead. So we have to keepm bunches of four or five and carrvguna." J
Two days later Flying-Officer Turnerwriting again, said that he was actingflight-commander of the flight at thetime. Things appeared fairly normal inIreland, in which Aldergrove was theonly Royal Air Foroe station. It was ahuge station and many New Zealanderswere there.„
"As,
rfgards the war," he concluded,t,w!i aV<V* firm belief that Eternaltiouble in Germany, revolutions, etcmH play a big part in its settlement!The morale of the British people issplendid and could not be better. Tt l^ lnk

In your cable news, of the 19thGeMNlSmuts, Premier of .South Africa, prob-ably the Empire's most outntanflhf 'istatesman. is reported as saying, "Wf;!war .will shako the world's. . . you can sense the feeling »f tii'Sbehind it all ... 110 one can fat-see the fesult."

TktLabour party in England is, in tfekrespect, acting in a most exempltiy■manner, in the political sphere, it•regards the Government in power, ithe National party in Xew Zealand,**are some of its members, acting eqmßyloyally at the present time! .Evttassuming that, from their point of vilir,there is much in the recent legiglattoj-which is objectionable, or even011 Socialism, is that a justifieation-fcrcrea ting dissension in the community Ita serious time like this?

THE WET CANTEEN.
As a chaplain one i<* interested iniVcanteen question. Those accustomed tomilitary camp life are not impressedbj'the specious statements as to the valueof the wet canteen for the comfort,morale and happiness of the yoonj; tsoldiers who are entering the variousXew Zealand camps?. It is highlyprobable that some of the more mature"men who have donned the uniform *21
their favourite beverage, but itis rather hard to believe that theaverage young Xcw Zealander- *31mourn the loss of intoxicating liquor.Such men have not lightly thrown asidetiieir material prospects without a con-sidered sacrificial motive. Thereforewhen it is a matter of mere preferencein food and drink its presence or absencewill not disturb. Australia I*4considerably more than .'iOO.QOO men wthat conflict, and has again with unhesi-tating enthusiasm entered the arena."And also we find regulations to cancel,the sale of intoxicating liquor. and theseare evidently with a view to the 'bestmorale and comiictcncv of its splendid•troops. From the interesting corres-pondence iu the various Dominionjournals we understand that the bodythat suggested a change from presentmilitary procedure—the K.S.A.-—cannotspeak for all returned men: that in fart,its membership is comparatively small.While the wishes of this organisationninv be respected. its advocacy of thewet *>ante<jn its not con vinoiii<r. It 18also to be noted that the <'hristehurch.branch of the K.S.A. claiming to repre-sent over .'WOO returned soldiers hBSdeclined to make a pronouncement 011the matter.

HIGHLIGHTSfrom
THE CABLESJHE FUEHRER, having summoned his State Governors
and district leaders, is believed to have confronted themwith the gravest decision on the prosecution of the war.One report indicates that he is desirous of feeling thereaction of the German public before launching what wouldbe terribly costly offensives on the Western Front.
Should he consider the reaction favourable, it isthought a big drive will be made soon. There will be nofurther "peace offers," it is stated.
Other Berlin messages stress two outstanding points.The German public also thinks it is a queer war, and theyhave a growing belief that Britain and France will not, andnever intended to, make a real attack.
Once again "all quiet on the Western Front" bestdescribes cables dealing with the fighting. Of particularinterest is the summing-up of one military expert, whosays the French withdrawal was Marshal Gamelin's choice.
GERMANY IS REPORTED to have abandoned thefortification of Memel, under weight of pressure fromRussia, and there is an inference that ultimately the Sovietwill use Memel as a transit port.
There are reports that attempts to spread Sovietinfluence to Finland may be expected in a desire to gainpossession of Aaland Islands as a spearhead of Scandi-navia penetration.
It was on March 22 of this year that the LithuanianGovernment reported having accepted Germany's demandfor the transfer of the Mcmel territor}' to the Reich. Herrvon Ribbentrop, Nazi Foreign Minister, who presented thedemand, said that if the annexation were pcaceable Ger-many would give generous consideration to Lithuanianeconomic interests.
Aaland Islands consist of nearly 300 islets, manymere rocks and skerries, in the mouth of the Gulf ofBothnia, belonging to Finland. The chief of the group,Aaland Island, cbntained the fortress of Bomarsund. Eightyof the islands are inhabited; they were fortified by Russiabut were used by the Germans as a naval base in theGreat War. The population is 27,000.
TWO ENEMY 'PLANES were intercepted on thesouth-east coast of Scotland yesterday. No bombs weredropped and the 'planes did not cross the coast.

Fortification Of BalticPort Abandoned.
FAR-REACHING PLANS,
(Received 12.30 p.m.)NEW YORK, October 22,
"Such is the weight of Russianpressure, according to well-authenticated sources, that Germanyhas abandoned the fortification ofMemel, which is within gunshot ofthe Lithuanian port of Polanga," saysMr. Otto D. Tolischus, Riga corres-pondent of the "New York Times."
"It is expected that Russia will sooneror later demand the use of Memel asa transit port. Russians have alreadyadvised Germans to cease the hithertorapid purchase of Lithuanian-ownedproperty.
Reach Ports of Norway."Stalin's demands on Finland indicate
plans to go far beyond the Ha I tie Sea.His efforts to get the Aaland Islands,which are more a spearhead againstScandinavia than Germany, are regardedas an attempt to reach across NorthernScandinavia to the ice-free ports of Nor-way, jmnetrating from there to theAtlantic.
"That the plans have been maturingfor a long time is indicated by the oft-reported mysterious Soviet flights toScandinavia, on which it is believedthat roads have been charted."
Soviet Troops in Estonia.Re ports reaching London from Helning-
fors, the capital of Finland, state thatKstonia now is practically a closed coun-try. The only means of crossing thefrontier is by air.
The first Soviet troops have reachedtheir quarters, but the main body isBtill marching toward Haapsalu. Thetroops are not allowed to communicatewith the Estonians.
All the districts to be occupied havebeen evacuated, and 15 Russian war-ships are in or near the harbour ofTallinn.
Travellers from Vilna, the Polish citywhich the Soviet has handed over toLithuania, report that the Russians areremoving machinery, libraries, rollingstock, motor cars, petrol, coal, clothing,furniture and office equipment.
A dispatch froiw Helsingfors statesthat the frontier districts of Finlandhave been closed to travellers.
The Finnish Envoy, l)r. Passikivi, liasloft, for Moscow and is taking with himcounter proposals to the Soviet. Finlandis resolved to go no further.
A defence loan of ."»()().1M)U,000 marks isboil13 niiied bv Finland.
The Scandinavian and Finnish news-papers ire all satisfied with the pro-gress achieved at the Stockholm Con-ference, where the Swedish, Norwegianand Danish Kings and the President ofFinland, also tlie Foreign Ministers ofthe sanifl four States, discussed Scandi-navian neutrality problems.

MEMEL OCCUPATION.
When Hitler "Struck" FromThe Sea.
COLOURLESS DISTRICT,
When Hitler took Memel in thelast week in March he took it withenough flourish |<> make it seem con-siderable. Jt is not. The district isa homespun, colourless countryside1099 square miles in area bounder!by East Prussia, the Baltic Sea andLithuania. The population is amere 152,000, some 78 per cent ofthem claimed bv Germany.
Memel has no indusU'ie.s importantenough for the Nazis to hoast of, andGermany lias better ports. To Lithu-ania. however, it represents one-sixthof her industry, and it was the nation'sonly good outlet to the ho.i. WithMemel gone Lithuania now has onlytwelve miles of coastline. Furthermore,the Memel area controls tlie mouth of(lie Nieiuen I'iver, on which traffic windstar into what was formerly Poland.

In face of this attack the LithuanianNavy, consisting of one 22-year-old ."iOO-ton patrol ship (a rebuilt German mine-sweeper) which mounts two three-inchguns and three nntehino-guns. puffed outto sea as homeless as the Flvin rrDutchman. Hitler had won his lirstnaval victory.

LONDON, October 22.In a broadcast speech, fhe Secre-
tary of State for War, Mr. LeslieI Tore-Bel isha, reviewed the positionas at (ho seventh week of hostilities.He said Hitler had fixed in advancethe day of his assault and Poland,endeavouring to resist devastation,bad her Army destroyed, but thememory of its valour was indestruc-tible.
For all the apparent inactivity in thewar in the West so far. decisive developincuts had in fact occurred.
"The constant cry of Nazi Germanvlias Ih'cii. since its inception, 'Give n-a free hand in the East,'" said thespeaker. "There was a long agenda ofconquests to be made in that directionPoland was but an item.
"The Raltie States were to be donii■ lilted, but from these German nationalsare now in retreat. Russia has claimedthis sphere of influence.
"The cornfields of the Ukraine wer ■coveted. Russia has made sure of thi<-harvest.
' Through Poland, Nazi Germany wasto have entrance to Rumania. Thi-cntranee has been barred by Russia.

"The Dominions are making readycontingents to stand be«ide our own,and they never fail to emphasise theirsolidarity with us. Indian troops arein position at several strategic points.India and all other parts of the Empireare anxious to take an increasing sharein the war.
"As the days pass, Nazi Germanymust watch this gathering momentum,and realise that time is on the side ofFrance, Britain and the Empire.
"Our aims are not defined by geo-graphical frontiers, but are concernedwith the human spirit. '1 his is not awar about a map. but to re-e.-tabhsliconditions under which nations ami indi-viduals, including Germany, can liviagain. Only (.lie defeat of Nazi (lei'

REDS' DISTRUST.OF ALLIED POWERS.Security Against Western
Onslaught Wanted.LIBERATION OP CZECHS.
NEW YORK, October 22.
The key to Russia's foreign policyis her unchanged distrust of capi-talist Governments, especially thoseof Britain and France, says the.Moscow correspondent of the ''JiewYork Times," .Mr. G. K. if. Gedye.Only tin! acceptance of this willenable one to understand the Soviet'saims, which are centred on pursuing(lit- pre:-vnt opportunist policy, theobject of which is to secure Russiaagainst an imagined general onslaughtby tiie Western Powers.
On the one hand, !!\:*sia in estab-lishing outposts to defend her frontiers;mi the other, she is necking to weakenthe Imperialists within by pacific propa-ganda, which is pursued in (iermanyand equally in Britain and Fiance.

INVASION MENACE.Nazi Thrust- Through The
Netherlands.
POSITION EXAMINED
NEW YORK, October 22In a message to the "New \ork
Times" from London, the well-known'commentator "Augur" says the Netherlands before the year's end may objectto strong German pressure, and it islikely Holland will be menaced by directinvasion.
The merciless Allied anti-submarinecampaign obliges Hitler to think interms of increased aerial warfare, but.faced with the prospect of Allied aerialpredominance 12 months hence, lie musttind a swift solution. If the Germanswere able to cross or establish air fieldsin Holland, the problem of aerialattack against Britain would be simpli-fied. Also, Britain would have tochoose between either bombing theinnocent Dutch or allowing the Germanbases immunity. -
NAZIS RETALIATE.BLOCKADE BRITAIN.
Enlist Co-operation Of NeutralCountries.
BRITISH PRESS ANALYST.
October 22.Germany is organising a so-called
blockade against Britain in which theco-operation of neulral countries willbe enlisted as the result of economicnegotiations proceeding in Berlin. Itappears to be bused on extravagantestimates of the productive capacityof the neighbouring neutral countriesto offset the effects of the Britishcontraband control.
A survey of the position appears inthis week's number of "The Economist,whose olij'vt ive accounts of economictrends in Cermanj are a regular feature."The Economist" says: —
'•Germany's trade relations withneutral countries at present may hesummarised as follows: Accessibleneutrals are able to supply a consider-able part of Germany's imports of food-stuffs. The most important rawmaterials they are able to supply areiron ore, bauxite, mineral oil and tim-ber.
"They cannot furnish all the bauxiteand mineral oil the Reich will need bya considerable margin, and Russia'sexports, the value of which is beingwildly exaggerated, cannot be appreci-ably expanded for some time to come.Moreover, these imports must be paidfor by exports.
'"There has been no news frontneutrals that (iermany has not beenable to execute orders, and so long asthere are no major military operationsHcrmany should lie able to maintain herproduction of coal, iron, steel, machineryand chemicals, at. sav, .">0 per cent ofthe level of 10:t!Sbut the IiKSN-.'S!)level was much below that of 1H:?7, andwhen the large-scale war begins it willquickly be made difficult to make exportgoods in large quantities."
"The Keonoinist" adds that, consider-able difficulties liave already arisen intransporting goods from Balkan coun-tries to Germany. There is a shortageof rolling stock, especially- in tralliefrom Yugoslavia and Bulgaria to (ier-
many. Tlie cereal and oil transport ofRumania has had to be diverted to theDanube, and Danube tonnage is alsoscarce.

REAL ISSUE IN AMERICA.
NKW YORK. October 22.The American Institute of Public
Opinion, after co-ordinating four recentsurveys, believes that the real issuebefore Americans has become theextent to which the United fltates canhelp Britain and France without her-self becoming a belligerent.
The institute suggests that theisolationist's have not succeeded in con-vincing the majority of voters thatchanging the Neutrality Act is tanta-mount to entering the war.
The latest returns show that 00 percent of the people are in favour ofselling arms to the Allies! 02 per centaffirm that the United States shoulddo everything possible to help Britainand France to win except enter thewar; but tiO per cent believe that aidshould not be such as to risk theUnited States becoming involved in thewar.

Hitler MeetsHis Key MenGRAVE ISSUES
Will People FaceHeavy Losses In West?
NO "PEACE OFFER"(United Press Association.—Copyright.—Rec. 10.30 a.m.)
LONDON, October 22The Berlin correspondent of the Amsterdam "Telegraaf"
says that, although specific reasons are not given, Hitler's summon-ing of the State Governors and district leaders to a conferenceindicates that he is confronting them with war decisions of theutmost importance. The conference was held all yesterday andcontinued to-day.
It is recalled that a somewhat similar gathering was held afew days before the Polish campaign. Official circles in Berlindeclare that there is no further possibility of another peacecampaign after the last offer was rejected so abruptly.
If Hitler receives assurance that* the German people will notreact unfavourably to the prospect of the terrible sacrificesinvolved in an offensive on the Western Front, then a large-scaleattack can be expected in the immediate future.
Hitler's conference with the State Governors and districtleaders and his summoning of the Ambassadors from Moscow,Rome and Angora to Berlin, is Germany s immediate reaction tothe British and French pact with Turkey.
, "The Times'" Rotter-dam correspondent says it is presumed decisions of the greatestimportance will be made, and party leaders have been sum-moned to hear the results of Germany's previous plans, in whichthe Fuehrer obviously counted on strong diplomatic and pos-sibly military support from the Soviet and Italy. That has notmaterialised, and he is now left to carry on the war alone whilethe Allies are in an even more favourable position. It is essentialthat Hitler should do something effective to counter this setback.
The Paris radio states that Herr von Papen has been orderedto return to Turkey immediately to point out the grave conse-quences of the pact with Britain and France.Enipharising what the German public feels is a "queer war,"
the Nazi High Command issued a communique stating that thereare no special developments on the Western Front except minorartillery activity, scouting and patrolling.Millions of Germans ask daily when the Allies are going tostrike and are beginning to believe Britain and France will notattack and never intended to do so.

(IteceiviMl 11 a.m.)
LOXDOX, October 22.The Air Ministry announced that
British fighters intercepted twoenemy 'planes over the south-eastcoast of Scotland early this after-noon. They shot one down.
The Air Ministry later announced theGerman 'plane fell in the sea. A collap-sible boat was repotted to have beenseen leaving the wreck.
An air raid warning was. sounded thismorning throughout a section of thenorth-east coast of Kngland. 'J he ''allclear"' signal was given within half anhour. Neither gunfire nor 'planes wereheard during the period, but 'planes wereheard after the "all clear."
The warning interrupted church ser-vices, but ministers, advised their con-gregations to remain, saying specialprayers during the period of the alarm.
The Air Ministry -tales that none ofthe aircraft dropped bombs or crossedthe coast.
The Air Ministry and Ministry ofHome Security announced on Saturday:"Two unidentified aircraft were observedapproaching the l'.ast Coast soon after2 p.m. Fighter aircraft were sent to
intercept them and air raid warningswere sounded in the Hull and Grimsbyareas about U..'!o. The 'all clear' signalwas given in both areas about half anhour later.*'
A further 1.1(H) school children are tolie evacuated from Kosytli and the ForthI'ridge area.
The recent Herman air attacks oji theliriiish Fleet naval basis are inter-preted by many shrewd observers as anindication that the results of the1.-boat campaign are now recognised asdisappointing in Kerlin, says a Britishofficial wireless message.
Judging by the outcome of the firstraids—the small amount of damagedone and the heavy casualties sufferedby the raiders—it is likely that thehopes the Xazi leaders may have enter-tained of success for thifc method aregoing to be as greatly disappointed asthose formerly held out to the Oermanpublic in respect of the U-boat attack?.

FALKLAND ISLANDS.Argentina Objects To British
Defence Force.STOP NAZI OCCUPATION.
(Received 2.30 p.m.)NEW YORK, October 22.
The Buenos Ayres correspondent ofthe "New York Times" reports that thedispatch of British volunteers to theFalkland Islands in regarded as a viola-tion of Argentine neutrality, and hasled to the formation of an influential"Committee for the Recovery of the,Malvinos," which is the Argentine namelor the Falklands.
The organisation signalises a changeIn popular opinion, which began withthe outbreak of the war. Champions ofthe movement for claiming the Falk-lands favoured dropping -the movementuntil the end of the war, on the groundthat the opposition of Britain would'brand tliem a# pro-German, which theydid not desire.
The Falkland* Defence Force is evi-dently designed to* prevent a Germanattempt at occupation, similar to vonSpec's in 1914. ,
The Falkland Islands were named•fter Lord Falkland in KlSft, and became*Britis.li in 177"I. bhouigih they were notpermanently occupied till 1832.
Von Spee won his victory off Coronelon November 1, 11)14, ami -tilie Britishauthorities tben feared he might estab-lish a base in tihe Falkland* and holdtip the nitrate trade front Chile. Twobattle cruisers, Inflexible and Invin-cible, hurriedly rtetac'ied from theGrand Fleet, secretly left Plymouth onNovember 11, and after being joinedby other vessel*, reached PortStanley oil Monday morning, December7. They found that the residents werehourly e.vjwcting a vtalt from Von Spee.Early next morning the squadron begancoaling, but had not completed theoperation when two strange ships weresighted. They were in the van of VonSpec's squadron. By tlie same eveningfour out of Ave of its whips were wt the■bottom of the sea.

KNOTTY PROBLEM.
SAKHALIN TENSION.
Cause Of Trouble BetweenMoscow And Tokyo.
NEXT BATTLEGROUND?
Cause of much trouble betweenRussia and Japan during the pasttwo years, and considered by manyclose observers of the Far East mix-up as destined to become the nextactive battleground in Asia, theislaml of Sakhalin, half .Japanese,half Russian, presents a knotty prob-lem for solution by the two coun-tries' negotiators. Latest, reportscontain rumours of new bonier ten-
Writing from Tokyo just before theKu.ssia ii !a pa nese armistice last month,Mr. frank Hedge*. North AmericanNewspaper Alliance correspondent, dealtwith the Sakhalin dispute.
The northern Sakhalin problem,wrote Mr. Hedges, while, forming oneof the »rotip of liusao-. Japanese dis-putes, in in something of a cate-gory of it.s own. following there-establishing of diplomatic rela-tions between Moscow and Tokyo,extensive oil and coal concessions, plusthe right to prospect for these valuablematerials, were granted to Japanese in-terests in Soviet-governed northernSakhalin. They were guaranteed by thetreaty re-establishing normal relationsbetween the two nations.
An Unannounced Blockade.There has been almost continuous
bickering between these .Japanese con-cessionaires and their .Japanese em-ployees, on the one fide, and the localSoviet authorities on the other.Charges and counter-charges of illegalactions have been frequent, and several• Japanese and Jiiissians have lost theirlives along this bonier, while "illegal"arrests on both sides of the line havebeen numerous.
It is only during the last two yearsthat the situation Ims grown reallyacute, however. A part of the oil andcoal produced by the Japanese must bedelivered to the Soviet, corresponding toa rental of the land. For two vemrs thespecified amount has not been sodelivered, with the result that a casewas brought against the Japanese con-cessionaires in the Soviet Courts, result-ing in the imposition of.a 4<H),000 roublefine on the Japanese.
The Japanese oil men, Ixtcked by theTokyo Government, contended tlii.4 wasan illegal fine, and refused to pay it.Moscow gave then until midnight, .TuneII), spying it would attach the Japaneseproperty if the fine were not paid l>ythen. That zero hour lias come andgone without any action l>eiiig taken,but Tokyo is unquestionably preparingfor counter-action.
Tlie Japanese contend that, by block-ing both imports and exports, the Sovietauthorities have made it impossible forthem to carry on their coal and oiloperations, and that their Japaneseemployees are actually suffering fro;iilack of food, due to this unannouncedblockade. Certain it is that last yearJapan brought out only t>o,ooo tons ofoil instead of the customary 400.000,and this year there have been no ship-ments whatever.
The Moves in Prospect.This situation is, in itself, enough to
bring about action by Japan and especi-ally by the Japanese Navy, which is
jM?culiarly sensitive to its oil supplies.Recently a new squadron was formed inthe Japanese Navy, which is expected tobe sent to the waters around NorthernSakhalin, and there impose a blockadesimilar to the land blockade of theBritish Concession at Tientsin, in themeantime prolmbly taking over the control of the ports ill order that food andother supplies may l>e sent in to thjJapanese concessionaires; that coal andoil may be brought out and shipped toJajmii proper.
What retaliatory steps the (Sovietmay take nre not known. It will l>e diffi-cult for tliem, because of inadequatenaval facilities in Pacific waters, to doanything at Sakhalin itself, but it willbe quite easy for them to increase theirattacks on Manchukno, possibly Korea,and almost certainly the .Taiwanesefishing fleets in Siberian waters.
As a matter of fact, despite the glow-ing accounts which the Japanese Armyhas given out about its victories in, thenil- along the Mongolian border, it wouldseem that, if either side has the masteryof the air there, it is not the Japanese, j

LONDON', October 22.The International Settlement
authorities jnisted warnings againstanti-Japanese activities and prohibit-ing the organisation of anti-Japanesegatherings and societies, and the pub-lication of anti-Japanese propaganda,displays of the Chinese NationalistHag, and the possession of guns andexplosives. The authorities threatento deliver offenders to the -Japanese,who have lifted the blockade, says aDomei news agency message fromKulangsu.
A dispatch from Shanghai says policein full war kit, with sub-machine gunsand armoured cars, guard the roadsbordering the International Settlementfollowing an outburst of terrorism onFridav.
Tn the Tafao area British troopshelped the police to build barricades andmove ammunition in fast motor trucks.
As the result of a Chinese policemanbeing killed and a Sikh colleaguewounded on a road outside the settle-ment yesterday the British Consul-GeneraI. Sir IferlaM't Phillips, warnedthe' Municipal Council to withdraw policeprotection on outside roads owing to"uncontrolled lioolignnism."
The American chairman of the council,Mr. Franklin, announced that if neces-sary lie would ask for United Statesmarines to protect residents and pro-perty on outside roads.
Foreigners regard the clash as adevelopment of the Japanese anti-British drive, involving an attempt tocontrol the roads bordering on the Inter-national Settlement.
Another report of the incident saysthat three Chinese, one of whom was apoliceman, were killed, and an undeter-mined number were wounded, in a clashon the border of the settlement betweensettlement police in an armoured ear,supported by Italian marines. ;ni<l anumber of Chinese motor cyclists.
The last mentioned loosed a hail ofrifle and machine-gun fire and threwhaixl grenades.
The motor cyclists, of whom two aredead, were alleged to be members ofthe private protection corps of the pro-Japanese leader. Wang Ching-wei, whomthe settlement police had attempted tohalt.
The Japanese police threw a cordonround the area and ended the fight.
The "New York Times" Shanghaicorrespondent says three Chinese gun-men intruded at a Chinese weddingreception in the American defencesector. They killed two and woundedseven of the.'guests. The shooting isconsidered to have had a politicalmotive.

LONDON, October 22.The Bombay correspondent of the
Associated Press of Great Britainreports (hat the Council of theNational Liberal Federation, the thirdlargest political body in India,usually pi-o-British. emphasises theinacceptability of the Viceroy'srecent statement.
The Marquess of Linlithgow's promisethat Dominion status for India wouldbe considered after the war, and alsobis refusal to announce that Britishwar aims were indefinite, left the Con-gress in an irresponsible position duringthe war. The council urged that Indiansparticipate more largely in the defence.
Mr. Gandhi described Britain's offerto India as too vague, says a messagefrom Bombay. He said the IndianNational Congress wanted India to betreated as an independent nation. Itwould be necessary to speak to Indiain a language of precision before shewould be enthusiastic about participa-tion in the war.
Provided tlie will existed, lie said, thedemands of Congress could easily hefulfilled. This will was not evident in theViceroy's statement. It was for theconstituent Assembly to decide whetherIndia was ready for Dominion status.

"UNIMPEACHABLE EVIDENCE."

L' p.m.)
LONDON, October 22.I)r. Goebbels, in a broadcast,
addressed his remarks to Mr. WinstonChurch 11. He reasserted that theFirst Lord was responsible for thesinking of the Athenia and declaredit had been proved on unimpeachableevidence ol an American witnessnamed Anderson that three Britishdestroyers were responsible tor thesinking.
Dr. (loebliel.- devoted his entire speechof 33 minutes to abusing Mr. Churchill,giving an extraordinary account purport-ing to be Mr. Churchill's plan to blowup the Allieuiii. says a Berlin message.
A striking example of the attitude toDr. Goebbels and liis propaganda ofneutral opinion is provided by commentin a recent iseue <>i the American news-magazine "Time," which descrilics theNazi propaganda chief as "novelist,author (at 24) of "Michael," probably asbad a book as has ever been published,and ojK'rator (at 41) of the most power-ful, most smoothly organised publicitymachine "the world has ever seen."
A fortnight after the outbreak of thewar Dr. Gocbbels' machine, which evenin peacetime spends more than£25,000,000 a year and employs 25.000,
had been "whipped to full s)>eed."Twentv-four hours after the (iermaiitroops entered Poland neutral journalistshad photographs of (iermau troop* onthe march. Tanks, big guns, bomliers,ruined villages, prisoners, wounded,mutilated bodies, charred house-, refugeechildren, smashed bridges, all added up.continues "Time." to create an impres-sion of overwhelming strength, drama-tised the speed of Germany's advance.
Forty-eight hours after the Polesannounced that the "holy city" of Czes-toehowa had been bomlied, high-speedoperators had photographs of Polishwomen and children worshipping at theshrine in the presence of a German sol-dier. This piece of propaganda hit threeways: Defensively, it gave the lie' toPolish charges; appealed to neutralopinion: was an attempt to convincePoles that Germans were really theirfriends who respected their rejics.
Basic Xazi technique of systematicallyshocking and sickening the population,making it apathetically submissive tototalitarian control, was worked hard,continued "Time." Germans took UnitedPress correspondent Fred Ceclisner on atour of captured Polish villages, showedhim the bodies of 25 villagers, claimedthey had been mutilated and killed byretreating Poles.
Third great line of GeiTnan propa-ganda was to prepare for a peace moveafter the conquest of Poland. If [>eaeedid not come, the gambit had anotherusefulness. Germany had no wav toescape the guilt of firing the first 'shot,of the war, hut th« Xazis hoped tocreate the impression that the Britishand French could stop it.

Similar gates are being installed onthe umler-rivcr tunnels of the NorthernLine, also at Charing Cross.
It has been feared that the burstingof a high explosive bomb on the riverbed just above the Tube, which runsnot far below, might burst through thetop of the tunnel. The floodgates on theBakerloo can resist 200 tons pressure,far in excess of any possible weight of

NAZI NEEDS.
HOPES FROM RUSSIA.
ANALYSIS OF PROSPECTS.
MATERIAL AID UKXIKELT.
Will the Ru&so-German pact enableGermany to secure the supplies of foodand raw materials of which she is sogreatly in need?
This is the big question exercising theminds of many at prese.nt, because, ifGermany can use Russia as a store-house, she will be much better able towithstand the Allied blockade. At tirstglance it would appear that she will beable to gain much from the Soviet; buta closer analysis makes her gain doubt- -
ful.Cogent reasons for this belief are
given in an article in the latest numberof the "Economist." Four obstaclesstand in the way of Germany's dreamcoming true, the article points out.The first is the political obstacle.—thereluctance which Russia. Soviet or not,must always feel to help a militaristicGermany towards the mastery ofEurope. The second is financial. Rus-sian materials will presumably not beprovided as a free gift. The third isthat of transport between Germany andRussia. The fourth obstacle is that ofquantities available.
Political Considerations.Dealing with the first, the "Econo-
mist"' says that Russia's interest mightpossibly be interpreted as being infavour of supplying Germany with justenough materials to fifrht a long andexhausting war, provided she wej-e
defeated at the end—and that would behardly comforting to the westerndemocracies.
As far as finance is concerned, theprobability is that Germany's purchasesfrom Russia would be limited to whatGermany coidd pay for. As she hasneither gold nor foreign exchange, pay-ment would have to be made in goods.Germany has no surplus available forexport of the raw materials Russianeeds to buy, so that the volume oftrade, would be limited by the quantityof machinery that a war-laden Germanycould provide for export.
The chief means of communicationbetween the two countries, it is pointedout, are three. There is the Baltic Seawhich they jointly dominate. Second,there is the Black Sea-Danuibe water-way, which can be cut off by Rumania,Yugoslavia, Hungary or any nationwhose fleet has access to t'he Black Seaby way of Turkey. Third, there arerailways, but even with the Polishobstruction cleared, the problem is byno means solved.
Facts About Russia's Railways.Russia's communications have been
developed in the interests of domestictrade, not of exports, while the distancefrom Germany to the chief sources ofsupply of Russian materials is enor-mous. So far as railway equipment isconcerned, the capacity of the lines hasnot kept pace with the traffic to becarried. Russia, in fact, can (hardly putmany additional trucks at the disposalof Germany for export by land or fromher Baltic or Black Sea. ports. More-over, German equipment would beuseless, owing to a different gauge. Thetransport difficulty could only be solvedby years of expensive work on theRussian railways.
The matter of quantities availablerequire more detailed consideration,the aritcle added. While Russiahad made enormous strides inthe development of her rawmaterials, no array of statistics *was the measure of the extent to whichGermany could make good her deficien-cies by drawing from Russia. It had'been Russia's policy to make herself asindependent as possible of foreign sup-plies, and to achieve a balance betweenthe production of raw materials andfoodstuffs and her domestic require-ments. Russia was producing scarcelyenough foodstuffs for herself, and inrecent years it had been the policy ofthe Soviet Government to raise thestandard of living rather than to fexpand exports.
Question of Foodstuffs.The article points out that in 1937,
Germany's imports from all sources ofbutter—one of three foodstuffs men-tioned—were 87,000 metric tons, butRussia's exports to all countries wereonly 15,000 metric tons. The conclusiondrawn is tha-t the assistance whichRussia could give would be of minorproportions. As far as raw materialswere concerned, Russia had at presentlittle to spare.
It was, moreover, unlikely that Ger-many would be able to obtain vastquantities of oil from Russia, whoseoutput had not kept pace with her ownrequirements. Russia exported her oilthrough the Black Sea. Owing to theshortage of railway tank cars—in addi-tion to th« general strain on the rail-ways—it would be impossible to sendlarge quantities overland. In timber,on the other hand, Germany couldprobably secure her full requirementsfrom Russia through the Baltic Sea.
The final conclusion reached in thearticle is that it would take years ofpreparation before Russia could makego*£l some of Germany's principaldeficiencies, and it would then bepossible only if she would grant largecredits to her "voracious new friend."

The farmer had to take the rejectsfrom other industries for farm work,whereas the very best skilled labourshould be available to the farming com-munity. she said. The Minister of Mar-keting, the Hon.

A schoolmistress says a weak stomachcan be made strong — even after nicer?.She declares she has proved it in her owncase, having released herself from a diet towhich she had been restricted for 18 years.She gives us the following particulars:
"I had stomach trouble for 18 years,"she writes. "Ulcers culminated j'„haemorrhage. For six weeks, I lay betweenlife and death, and at the end of two yearscould just eat steamed tish, steamed riceand things of that sort. Five years ago,when I tried a real meal, it cost me threemonths in bed. Following another scareI started taking Kennies.

Topscorer In the city was the ex-MountAlbert Craminar player Graham Burgess,making his debut in the senior arena aftera successful 1038-30 season with Y.M.C.A.senior B XI. In an exhilarating and stylishdisplay for 60, he showed a particular relishfor the spin bowlers. He and the formerY.M.C.A. skipper Ivan Cooper (who hasgiven way to E. R. Sutherland), knockedup 70 for the fifth wicket In fast time,which was also the tempo for the side'sfirst 100 in 7."> minutes. To tl.is excellentstart J. B. Stevenson contributed an evenhalf-century, an Invaluable innings in thecircumstances. He al«o captured two cheapwickets.
The only other two Individual scores ofover o<> were also made in one innings—
H. T. Pearson and C. I*. Howden. adding100 for M'toldleraore's third wicket .:fIcr■.North Shore had dismissed a couple of mencheaply. Howden Is an ex-King's Collegian,and in representing Otago recently in theI'lunkeit 'Shield he followed the example «»i*ih is father. Dr. E. Howden. now <fWaiuktl. The outstanding feature of theafternoon's cricket was his success and thaiol' Burgess, and two otter promoted players.These were V. Albrecht. the Universitymedium-pare bowler, and J.

Another newcomer to senior cricket -whomade an-impressive first appearance v-as N.Bennett, a member of tlie Maoriland XI.,London. He has been in New Zealand foronly a year, and was the Auckland repre-sentative centre in the opening Soccermatch against Navy for the Druuvmond Cup.Contrary to his fast deliveries at the netson Saturday week he went on to bowl slowagainst I'arnell, and captured the wicketsof the opening pair, Whitelaw and Hay.The former was <T»ught by his club mate,J. Carroll, wlo was fielding e« substitutefor V. J. Scott, en route from England.
The most successful Eden howler wasColin Snedden. who has quickly struckform after a disappointing ltt3B-3!» season.Besides liis figures of seven for 33. Sned-den, who was turning sha.rply from legon the Papatoetoe wicked, caught anotherman and wan responsible for a run out.He 'thus had a 'hand in the dismissal ofall but one of the Ponsonby-Balmoralteam.
Besides Albrech't six wickets went toD. C. Clever ley, the MUMleiuore express,and this ttne effort at Devonport soheartened his comrades that the Shoreside is How In a ho'pelees position.

Smith finished up witha good round of approximately 73. Start-ing the second round Coltman againplayed badly and became 10 down aftertwo holes.
