MEAT MERGER

AUSTRALIAN DEVELOPMENT

NEW ZEALAND INTEREST

CHILLED BEEF TRADE

[l'ltOM OUR OWN COHRES POND EN t]SYDNEY. Jan. 25

Br-c.insn W. Weddel and Company,Limited, have direct interests in NewZealand freezing works, the announce-ment of an allianco between them andthe Australian firm of W. Angliss andCompany (Aust.) Proprietary, Limited,will arouse attention in the Dominion,and New Zealand meat producers willbo anxious to learn whether they arolikely to share in any of tho benefitsthat seem likely to accrue from thomerger. So far there is no indicationthat Now Zealand will benefit from anynew policy that may bo put into opera-tion, but a certain indirect benefitshould surely result from a more scien-tific marketing of Australian moat.It is of importance to note that more

than £14,000,000 in capital is involvedin tho merger. Behind it is an agree-ment by Weddel and Company to dis-tribute and control tho marketing inGreat Britain of tho meat produced bythe Australian firm in all States.

Of recent months great attention hasbeen given to tho question of gettingAustralian chilled beef on to tho Lon-don market. Weddels will guaranteethat tho marketing of Australianchilled beef will be looked after prop-erly, and tho arrangement should boto tho ultimate advantage of Austra-lian meat production generally. Itshould give a fillip to tho chilled beeftrade. However, it has to bo remem-bered that, apart from the provision offacilities to ship Australian beef underchilled conditions, Australia has yet toproduce a "chiller steer."

Change in Plant

The shipping of chilled beef on a

largo scale also inoan3 tho reorganisa-tion of tho whole of tho export freez-ing plants to enable the beef to botreated as chilled instead of frozen. Itis pointed out b3r experts that thatchaugo would mean a costly investmentand would not be justified until thoowners of the works could see tho pros-pect of continuous trade. That wouldentail much improved methods both intho production and tho fattening ofAustralian cattle. Australia realisesthat oven in this connection it canlearn something from Now Zealand.

Commenting upon this aspect, theMelbourno manager of Weddel's Aus-tralian subsidiary stated that to makethorough tests in New Zealand with theBlua Star Lino "chilled carriors" hiscompany had spent about £-10,000 _inono of tho JVow Zealand works in whichthey were interested. They equipped itpost haste with up-to-date chillingrooms and other equipment to bringthe slaughter houses to tho highestpoint of efficiency. Tho decision to allowtho Bluo Star chilled steamers into theNew Zealand trade was not made untilJuly last, but tho building was hur-riedly completed and tho first chilledcargo was handled by December, andwas now half-way to London.

Marketing Chilled Bee!Thero has been a desire in Australia

for the more efficient marketing ofchilled beef in England, and as Weddelshave shops and distributing centresthroughout Britain it should bo in aposition to provide tho greater efficiencythat is needed. Tho representativo oftho firm in Australia said he felt surethat the merger would mean ultimatelythat mora Australian chilled beef wouldbo exported, with a consequent de-crease in British meat imports fromforeign countries.

It is authoritatively stated that noearly reopening of Vestey's idle meatworiss in Darwin will result from themerger. As a matter of fact, thealliance has nothing to do with the pro-duction of cattle in tho Northern Terri-tory. Australia is anxious to know-whether tho merger can bo interpretedfls an intention to take advantage ofthe Commonwealth Government's offerto issue a charter to an approved com-pany to develop Northern Australia ona privato enterprise basis.

All the shares in Weddel and Com-pany, Limited, aro held by Union ColdStorage Company, Limited, the direc-tors of which aro Messrs. R. P. Sing,W, G. Bundoy, J. M. Sing, LordVestev and Sir E. H. Vestcy. In addi-tion to its business as cold storage pro-prietors in Great Britain and abroad,the company owns refrigeratedsteamers under tho flag of the Blue StarLine and the share capital of a numberof meat export companies operating inAustralia, Now Zealand or the Argen-tine, including Fletchers, Limited. Thecapital of Union Cold Storage Com-pany, Limited, is £12,000,000.

No dividends wero paid for tho latterhalf of 1930 and in 1031, when lossestotalling £19,831 resulted from theearthquake, which occurred as share-holders were gathering to attend theannual meeting to declare the final divi-dends for 1930.

Local onions aro quoted at about 5s6d per cwt., f.o.r. Pukekohe, which isabout the same prico as last week'sopening figure. A small parcels ofonions has been sold for export, but itwould be necessary for further quanti-ties to bo sold to effect a material im-provement ot the position 011 tho localmarket". A portion of tho delivery isto bo made about February 5, and it isexpected that a further quantity willbe ready to bo sent forward by Feb-ruary 22.

Although the recent rains have notbeen very favourable for tho harvest-ing of onions, many crops of potatoeshave benefited by the fall, with theresult that supplies have been some-what erratic, owing to growers holdingdigging over for a week to obtain aheavier tonnage. Potatoes aro quotedthis week at from 7s to 7s 6d per cwt.,which is about 6d per cwt. lower thanthe prico at the beginning of last week.

NEW ZEALAND MULLET

INDUSTRY IN NORTH

SCOPE FOR DEVELOPMENT

The canning of New Zealand mulletis a small industry which has existedat tho Bay of Islands for well over 40years. Tho fish abound with other odiblovarieties in tho waters extending fromthe Bay of Islands 'to Wliangaroa, butit has been left to tho local enter-prise of settlers of tho district to con-vert them into a marketable productavailable to tlio consumer at all times.At present tho plant at Purerua isoperated by Messrs. Hansen Brothers,who maintain a small but steady out-put from a factory conducted as a side-lino to farming operations.

Auckland is tho principal market,tho outlet through tho city being suffi-cient to absorb practically tho wholeof the factory's production. Iu someyears the pack lias been below require-ments, and inquiries received fromoverseas, opening possible export mar-kets, could not be met. Consequentlytho possibilities in this direction remainunexploited. Recently, however, therehave been developments which promisoan expansion of interest in the richharvest to bo won from the sens border-ing the northern const.

Tho present season's canning opera-tions have only just begun at the Bayof Islands and the prospects of a goodcatch are reported to bo favourable.Tho netting of tho fish usually pro-coeds until well into tho middle of theyear, each day's catch being dealt withas it is brought in. On tho marketthe canned mullet competes favourablywith tho lowest-priced imported salmon,for which, at tho present time, it istho only Now Zealand-producod substi-tllto.

EXPORT MEAT TRADENEW ZEALAND METHODS

STUDY BY AUSTRALIA

COMMISSIONER'S ARRIVALA study of the New Zealand meat

export trade will be made by Mr. J.Merrett, metropolitan meat industrycommissioner for New South W ales,who arrived from Sydney by the a-nganolla yesterday. Ho will spend threeweeks in tho Dominion and will tourboth islands. Yesterday afternoon hevisited meat works in the vicinity ofAuckland and will further inspect theseworks to-day.

"I bopo to learn something of theorganisation and operation of the NewZealand Meat Producers' Board andalso of tho more modern of the NewZealand freezing works," said Mr. Mer-rett, "particularly in view of the re-markable development in tlie past fewyears in the export of New Zealandlamb. New Zealand is essentially ameat producing country as far as sheepand larnb3 are concerned, whereas inNew South Wales wool is the primaryconsideration, particularly in view ofthe rise in wool prices in Australia.

Concentration oa Wool

"The rise i:a wool prices has causeda marked increase in the tendency ofgrowers general ly to concentrate onwool production. This tendency is shownby the figures for sheep production. Wehave over 110,000,000 sheep in Aus-tralia, yet our export quota to theUnited Kingdom last year, under thoOttawa agreement, was slightly lessthan 4,500,000 carcases. On tho otherhand, New Zealand, with about30,000,000 sheep, had an export figureof about 9,000,000 carcases.

"Not only does this, show the trendof wool-growing in. Australia, but itillustrates also that there is still anenormous field in tho Commonwealthfor tho development of the fat lambexport trade. For many years NewZealand has concentrated on producingthe type of lamb eminently suitablefor the overseas market, and we inAustralia are naturally very anxiousto expand our operations. Any informa-tion I can glean in the Dominion wenhope to be able to put to use in de-veloping our industry in New SouthWales.

Australian Board Suggested"Tho export of meat from New Zea-

land is under the direction of theiMeat Producers' Board and there have 1been suggestions from time to time thatp. somewhat similar body should be con-stituted in Australia. While I am hero,I propose to' study at first hand thooperations of the Netv Zealand board.Tho export of meat irom Australia atpresent is entirely in the hands of pri-vate interests, subject to a distributionamong them of their shares of thoquota under the Ottawa agreement,,This is dono under Government direo-tion.

"The development of the chilled beeftrade, both, from Australia and. NewZealand, is coming into prominence,and experimental shipments have been •made from both countries. The resultsof tests made in Australia indicatethat, particularly from the northerndistricts, the chilled beef trade with.'the United Kingdom can be satisfac-;torily developed by having the beefcarried under carbon dioxide cpnditions.

"This will require continuity oirchipping facilities, a fairly rapid vovagoand regularity of shipments. Thesamatters have been discussed very fullyat representative conferences in Aus-tralia recently, and it will be interest*-ing to compare the results of the de-velopmental work in Australia withthat in progress in New Zealand.

, Marking of Carcases"It has been proposed to the British

Ministry of Agriculture that meat fromAustralia and New Zealand 6hall bemarked to indicate the country oforigin. It is claimed in Australia thatthe method of marking proposed willnot only hare a detrimental effect uponthe appearance of the meat, thus lower-ing its sale value in

_

the Englishmarket, but that it will also have atendency to slow up the output at theworks, to say nothing of whatever addi-tional cost may be entailed in complying'with the proposed regulations. The pro-posals are being most strenuously op-posed by the meat interests in Aus-tralia, and no doubt similar oppositionwill be offered by the New Zealandmeat trade.

"There has been a marked improve-ment in meat prices in the past fewmonths. This is due to tho operation ofthe Ottawa agreement restricting ex-ports from the Argentine. It would,however, be a bold man who would pro-diet the future of prices."

YEAR OF RECOVERY

LORD WAKEFIELD'S FORECAST

BRITAIN'S PLANNED PROGRESS[from ora own correspondent]

LONDON, Deo. 211Speaking at a meeting in connection

with the election of the Common Coun-cil for the City of London, Lord Wake-field predicted brighter times in thecoming year.

The nation, ho said, had been througha grave crisis, and the emergency hadbeen met in the English way. The com-promise that gave Britain a NationalGovernment in 1031 was in effect cnoof the most brilliant and courageousepisodes in her political history.

"Under its unifying influence," LordWakefield proceeded, "a planned re-covery has been steadily acquiringmomentum, undisturbed by impatientor partisan criticism, until now we 'be-gin to see concrete results. Wo can saythat confidence has been restored, butI boliovo that*, fundamentally, confi-dence lias never been lost. Our greatestassot as ai nation is our instinctiveknowledge that, whatever the peril,however Bear or novel, we shall sur-mount it.

"The signs and portents of recoveryare many, Most important and mostheartening is the continued increase inthe number of people in employment.A member of the Government has saidthat bv tho end of the year thereshould be some 800,000 more men andwomen at work. This is, after all, thetrue index to national prosperity.

"The outlook for 1931 is bright, andthere is an opportunity for furtherstimulus to be given if a hold financialpolicy is followed by tho National Gov-ernment. There is the probability of asurplus in the national Budget. I ngnmexpress tho hopo that the Governmentwill reduce tho burden of direct, taxa-tion. I believe this step would rap idrjustify itself.

"The buoyancy of our home marketwould bo further improved by tho cir-

culation of more money, and our greatexporting trades would be strenghteuiedin their renewed efforts to regain lostground in. the markets of the Empireand the world. The iipward tendenjneithat are shown by the monthly trid«returns should make 1934 a great yearof recovery- With the successes al-ready achieved we shall press forwardwith greater determination toward hap-piness and prosperity for us all.

LOSS OF MEMORYNEW ZEALANDEITS CASE

FOUND AFTER TWO YEARS

pNABLE TO RECOGNISE FAMILY[from our own correspondent I

•MELBOURNE, Jan. 25For nearly two years Lawrence

Laurie-Rhodes, aged 26, of Beaumaris,Victoria, a member of a New Zealandfamily,, was believed to have beendrowned, and one of the most extra-ordinary rases of loss of memory hasbeen revealed, following the discoveryby a- friend in a street at Brunswick,Melbourne. Mr. Laurie-Rhodes did notrecognise his friend, and when eventu-ally a reunion with his family waseffected he had to be introduced to hiswife, his children and his parents.

On / April 17, 1932, Mr. Laurie-Rhodes, who at that time owned agarage at Beaumaris, went out in amotor-boat about 4.30 p.m. to test anengine. He was out for some timewhen a terrific storm broke, and whenhe did not return to his home a searchwas made for him by the HarbourTrust launch. No trace of the boat wasfound, but the next morning it wasfound on the beach near Seaford.There was no signof Mr. Laurie-Rhodes.The engine was out of action. One oarwas in the rowlock and the other waslying at the bottom of the boat. Mr.Laurie-Rhodes was married and hehad two young children. His parents,and their family, were also living atBeaumaris. All gave him up as drownedand his relatives in New Zealand wereinfo/med of his supposed death.

Discovery by a Friend

When, one day this week, Mr. R.Dodd, a friend, saw Mr. Laurie-Rhodesat ■ Brunswick he was naturally

as he believed him to bedead. He approached him and ad-dressed him by name. Mr. Laurie-Rhodes looked surprised, and ob-viously did not recognise his old friend.Mr. Dodd was so shocked that he al-lowed the man to walk away. How-ever, the meeting had so impressedhim that he notified Mr. Laurie-Rhodes'- brother of what had takenplace. The brother immediately set outin search, but without result. Threedays later Mr. Dodd saw the man againand this time persuaded him to go to"his family.

It was a remarkable homecoming, asthe man had to be introduced to hisown father and mother and to his ownbrother. It was a tremendous shock forthe parents, both of whom were in pooirhealth, mainly as the result of theirson's disappearance. It took some timeto convince them that the man whohad /been found was their son. A brainspecialist was called in and he diag-nosed the case as one of amnesia—a

serious form of loss of memory.

Meeting Wife and Children .

On the doctor's advice, Mr. Laurie-Rhodes was not confronted with hiswife and children for several days, asit was feared that he had suffered suf-ficient shock. When eventually he wasallowed to see them he did not recog-nise them, but the doctor thinks thatthe shock will prove of great assistancein bringing the past back to him. Hehas been unable to recall what hap-pened to him while he was out in thelaunch. He remembers being picked upfrom the road by a motor-lorry. Hewas taken to the lorry-driver's homeand since then he has been wanderingabout New South Wales and Victoriafindihg work wherever it offered.

Mr. P. S.I'alia, the youngest old boy present,made a capital speech, and gave thelatest news from college.

It was decided that the next dinnerbe held early in October. The companythen adjourned to the clubroom of theOverseas League, where a jolly even-ing was spent and where the'collegeBong was sung.

Mr. H. J. Beswick was the 1 seniorold boy present. Others who acceptedinvitations included:—The Uev. A. L.Phillips, Dr. J. M. Bassett, Messrs!K. A. Anderson, R. C. Blunt, B. G.Blunt, P, J. C.

Intense heat waves prevailedthroughout a large area of New SouthWales, Victoria, South Australia andWestern Australia last week. Thobeat in Sydney and other parts ofNew South Wales was responsible forfive deaths.

Two men collapsed and died in Syd-ney last Wednesday, and many peoplewho fainted were, treated at city andsuburban ambulance stations.

Mr. Harold McDougall, aged 38, ofSurry Hills, dropped dead in a doctor'ssurgery to which he bad been takenfollowing a collapse while be wasworking. He had been engaged in fur-niture removal work at Waver ley dur-ing the hottest part of the day. Howas found in a state of collapse byanother workman, and he was im-mediately taken to a doctor, but hadied a few minutes later.

Elderly Man Expires

Mr. Patrick McMabon, aged 69, wasfound unconscious at a city address,and was conveyed to Sydney Hospital,where he w,as found to be dead.

Three more deaths were recorded onThursday. In addition, .many peoplecollapsed.

Those who died through the heat in-cluded Messrs. Harry Edgar Cole, aged70, of Marsden Park, near Riverstone,and Thomas Owen, aged 65, of Har-bord. The other victim was Mrs.Burns, of Camperdown. She died in atramcar in the evening. Men engagedon road construction at Wagga od

January 19 collapsed.The temperature reached 103.4 de-

grees shortly before 1 p.m.—the high-est registration for two years.

With hot westerly winds the beatwave spread to the coast from inlandareas, and by 9 o'clock in the morningthe thermometer had risen to 89.4degrees—the hottest temperature atthat hour since February, 1931. By 11a.m. the temperature was above 100degrees. Then for two hours intenseheat prevailed, culminating in 103.4degrees at 12.55 p.m:

Birds and Horses CollapseThe heat in parte of South Aus-

tralia on January 19 was so intensethat birds fell, to the, ground dead, andhorses dropped unconscious. Dangerousbushfires were controlled with diffi-culty. A message from Adelaide statedthat in two hours fires swept across70 acres of grazing land and scrub atAthelstone, and threatened severalbuildings. Breaks were burned to pre-vent the further spread of the flames.More than 200 people worked as firefighters.

For the sixth day in succession, themaximum temperature in Adelaide onJanuary 19 was over 100 degrees, 103.8degrees being recorded at 1.30 p.m.Last Wednesday the register iin Ade-laide reached 110.2 degrees, the high-est for two years. In the Loxton dis-trict on January 19 117 degrees wasregistered, find residents sufferedacutely. Agricultural work was practi-cally at a standstill. Birds flew intobouses trying to find shelter.

At Liverpool, Npw South Wales, theheat caused severe losses of poultry.Mr. J. Clark, of Mount Pritchard, lost100 young pullets, and several poultrymen reported losses of 50 birds. It isestimated that in all 1000 fowls died

Ton and a-hali of IceAccording to the train crew and

passengers, the transcontinental ex-press which reached Port Auguista onJanuary 23 experienced one of the hot-test journeys since the line wasopened. In the kitchen the thermo-meter registered 160 degrees, in thedining room 130 degrees, and in otheicompartments, with ,the fane going, 126degrees. Several passengers were pros-trated, and the conductor and stallwere busy carrying' iced water tostricken people.

Usually the express carries enoughice from Kalgoorlie to serve for thnreturn trip to the west, but on thisoccasion supplies ran short, and morohad to be sent for—more than a tonand a-lialf of ice in all being used onthe round trip. The thermometer atPort Augusta registered 114 degrees.

A test to determine the temperatureat various altitudes was made at noonlast Thursday by an aviator." Beforethe aeroplane took. off from Mascotthe thermometer registered 90 degrees.A south-easterly breeze was encoun-tered soon after taking off, and thereading was then 82 degrees. At0000 ft.., with-the wind from the west,73 degrees was registered.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

EXTRACTS THE HERALD

The following are extracts from theNew Zealand Herald of January 31,1884: .

About ten-o'clock on Tuesday night,fire broke out in McLennan's KaiparaHotel, which resulted hi the totaldestruction of the buildings and stables,together witlj several adjoining; stores.So quickly did the flames spread thatthe inmates of the hotel who managedto escape failed to save any personaleffects, ai\d it was subsequently dis-covered that two men Mere burned todeath. Every man in the townshipturned out to assist in fightilng theflames.

A meeting of master mariners washeld last evening at the WaitemataHotel, Mr. Thwaites presiding. It wasproponed by Captain Haddock that ashipmasters and officers' MercantileMarine Association be formed, and Cap-tain Morrison seconded the motion,which was carried. The following officerswere nominated:—President, Mr. C. J.Stone; vice-presidents, Captains D. H.McKenzie, H. F. Anderson and Mc-Gregor. The president, vice-presidentsand Captains Thwaites, Haddock, Mor-rison and Jones were elected a sub-com-mittee to draw up rules to be consideredat a future meeting.

The Diocesan Trust Board Committeeand the legal committee of the CityCouncil met yesterday afternoon, whenthe principal business was the questionrelating to the removal and rebuildingof St. Paul's Church on the present siteat a lower level, or the rebuilding ofthe church on another site. The follow-ing arrangement was determined, ineffect, as follows:—The Diocesan TrustBoard, being advised that the cost ofremoval and rebuilding would not beless than £4750, agrees to accept thatsum from the City Council. The legalcommittee of the City Council, havingconsidered the whole of the circum-stances, has, it is • believed, agreed torecommend the council to pay that sum,the cost of pulling down and rebuildingthe church to be borne by the parish,tlie Trust Board to be at liberty to re-build on the existing or any other site.

COUNTRY RACING CIRCUIT

OPENING AT MATAMATA[PROSPECTS FOR SATURDAYgood field in hack gup

CALIENTE WELL FANCIED

BY ARCHERThe circuit of country race meetings

that precedes the Auckland RacingClub's Autumn Meeting will be com-menced this week when the MatamataRacing Club will hold its meeting onSaturday. Then in quick succession fol-low meetings at Rotorua on February10 and 12, Dargaville on February 15and 17, To Aroha on February 2-1 and26, Pukckohe on March 3, To Rapa onMarch 8 and 10, Paeroa on March 15and 17) Opotiki on March 21, and atTauranga on March 24 and 26. Theduration of the country circuit is

always a /'busy period for trainersthroughout the province and thereshould be considerable activity in thevarious training centres during thecoming weeks.

With the exception of the two openraces, tho Waharoa Handicap and theWalton Handicap, which have eachdrawn only seven acceptors, the accept-ances for tiie Matamata mooting arehighly satisfactory and the prospectsfor interesting racing aro bright. TheMatamata Hack Cup has drawn awell-balanced field of fourteen and, asmany of candidates have shownform recently, the race bears an openaspect. /'

Last Lap In Form

The field is headed by the improvingLast Lap, who won two high-weighthandicaps in good style at Thames.Last Lap will have tho advantage ofracing on his homo track and, if pro-duced as fit as in his recent winningefforts, he should make a bold show-ing. Cherry .King has not done quite aswell as expected in his latest outings,but he is a capable horse in his classand is not without prospects. Theturning course at Takapuna was notentirely to his liking and he may beequal to a better performance at Mata-mata, where there is a good straight.

The three-year-old D'Artagnan is an-other whose form has not reachedexpectations this season, although hehas run some creditable races. At hislast start he was .unplaced with 10.3 inthe Alexandra Cup, li miles, on BoxingDay. However, he now meets Last Lap,the winnej* of that race, on 61b. betterterms, and may also be better suitedby the lighter scale. Latest reports fromTe Awamutu" state that D'Artagnannow makes a noise, and on that accountthere may be a doubt about him, al-though the may not be sufficientto affect hiin seriously at present.

Valueless has.no recent form to re-commend him and a better prospectshould be the consistent Gay Broney,who notched a first and a third at

Gay Broney is in greatheart and in his present form is likelyto take a lot of beating. Teels recentlyshowed a return to winning form inthe Ohaeawai Hack Cup, nine furlongs,Pukekohe', where she decisively de-feated among others Gay Broney andCherry King. Disregarding the 2jlb.apprentice allowance she claimed atPukekohe, Teels will now meet thesohorses on 51b. and 111b. worse term*respectively, but she is still on a handymark and ;is again likely to race well.She has previously won at a mile anda-quarter, and should not be troubledby the distance.

Killadar An ImproverWith a win and a third to her credit

in her last two starts, Caliente has re-cent form to recommend her and pro-mises to be one of the most difficultto beat. She did not have the best ofluck when she finished third to GayBroney and Royal Gallant at Takapunaand is one who should not find thelong straight a disadvantage. Calientecomes in 71b. better through Gay Bro-ney than, at Takapuna and form andfigures are in favour of her having anexcellent, chance. Ornamental will re-quire to improve upon her latest run-ning to win, but there is a possibilitythat she will do better the first timeshe strikes an easier track than theones she has raced on lately.

The hurdlers Mia Stella and Emanci-pation are in good solid condition andthat should help them. Of the tivoEmancipation, who stays well, may begiven preference, more especially as howill be racing on his home track.Emancipation won over seven furlongsin moderate company at Paoroa inOctober and may prove one of themost dangerous of tho light-weights.The three-year-old Killadar is an im-prover likely to give a good account ofhimself and he appeals more than theother light-weights, Kanapa, Wiltonand Norval Tea.. The raco is likely toattract ke'en speculation and some whomay be fancied are Caliente, Gay Bro-ney and Teels.

NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE

TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP

Phlakuo, 7.6, was omitted from the ac-ceptances for the Railway Hack Handicap,

six furlongs, at Matamata next Saturday.

The Hawera trainer J. Fryer took backwith him from Trentham the Limond—Termination gelding Stanchion, and JrayUp, a brother to Make Up, to prepare forjumping events.

Auckland horses nominated for the Tara-naki Jockey Club's meeting, to be held .atNew Plymouth on February 8 and 10. in-

clude Eldora, British Columbia. Lnnex,Star Artist, Rereatu. Alloy, Royal Artist,Kins Win and Grand Score.

Gustavo, who had a light season at theBlud, is to be put into work with a viewto racing him again. He has been sent totho Washdykc trainer, P. P. Ho? a"-J 1 TA 1*be interesting to see how he shapes altera long spell. He is a fine galloper, but, un-soundness has always, been a handicap.

As a class the two-year-olds seen outat Taknpuna were not good Gay Blondewas outstanding and her victory, with 0.10on the second day was meritorious. Likeher full-sister Gay Sheila,. Gay Blonde, is

very consistent, and she is nn improvingfilly likely to add to her laurels before theclose of the Beaaon.

Another failure was recorded ngainßt

Baroscopo in the Takapjina Cup and bo isnot performing nearly as well as ho didin the spring when the tracks were soft.Baroscope is undoubtedly at his best whenthe ground is yielding and when tho tracksera easy again there is no reason why heshould not reproduce the good form hodisplayed earlier 111 the season.

Tho victory achieved by Thespis in theWaiwera High-weight Handicap at Inka-puna 011 Monday was his third in this classof event on the course, as he also won theK awan High weight Handicap and the Wai-wera HigTi-weight Handicap last season.Thespis has been a' consistent peifoimer onthe Hat when the company has not beenstrong, and has also been a winner overhurdles.

Consistency has been u feature of thelatest form of tho three-year-old Limbohm.and he is an improver who may do wellover middle distances in the autumn. Al-though ho just failed to reach Psychologistnt the finish, Limbohm .ran on in theearnest possible faslucn in . the HaurakiPlate at Takapuna, and ho is a haidy cus-tomer, who appears to thrive on racing

and travelling, of which ho has had ft

fair share lately.

i'svlicologist's win in the Hauraki Plateon Monday did not come out of turn, as itwas his first since he was successful atPukekoho last April. Psychologist was

turned out in first-class fettle his owner-trainer W. G. Butler, and registered .1

solid performance in leading all tho way.As lio likes, the ground firm, Psychologistmay continue to race well while tho tracksremain in their present condition.

Considering that she wns not quite her-self shortly before the meeting, Gay Man-gold was responsible for a good offoit in

the Takapuna Jockey Club Handicap, inwhich she was just beaten at the endmaking all the running. Gay Marigold is

a solid little mare, who stays fairly. weL.and she should soon return to the winning

list. She may have her next race at Koto-rua, whore she should have excellent pros-pects.

Fortune has not favoured Master Brierly

since he won two middle-distance handi-caps last auiumn, but he has been running

good races since returning from an unsuc-cessful trip to Sydney in the spring, andhis success in the Takapuna Jockey ClubHandicap was woll deserved. Master Brierly

is right back to his best and his victorywas a welcome change of luck for Instrainer, R. S. Bagby, who has had morethan a share of misfortunes with hi» teamin the past six months.

THE TROTTING TRACK

USEFUL WORK AT EPSOM

FINE SPRINT BY CIMARRON

LUCKY LOVE'S SOUND EFFORT

BY ABAYDOSA very strong wind, which raised

thick clouds of dust, rendered condi-tions for training at Epsom yesterdaydecidedly unpleasant, and considerablyaffected the times for the various trials.With the exception of Cimarron, whosprinted in rare style', there was noattempt at real speed tests, althoughBrentlight, Auto Machine, Lucky Loveand Tryment were responsible for soundtasks. The dirt and sand tracks worein use, both being very hard.

Cimarron (I. 11. Morrison), after warmingup with a useful task over two circuits,jumped away at the bottom of the straight,and was at top as he passed the mile anda-quarter post. Hitting out boldly, ho ranthe first mile in 2.10, and finished an im-pressive effort in 2.49. Going down thoback tho- lust time, he showed a brilliantburst of speed and did •-v ell to run hislast quarter in 31s, in the face of thestrong wind. Cimarron is in finu heart andpromises to be very fit nest month.

Brentlight (lt. D. Ivennerley) went awayto act as pacemaker to Lucky Love (J.Young) and Phyllis Axworthy (N. L.Craig), with Auto Machine (A. Brown)going three seconds behind the last-named.Brentlight remained in front to the finishin -1.53. He set an easy pace early, goingto the mile and a-half at a 2.30 gait, butincreased tho speed to 1.8 for the last half.Brentlight was not fully extended and couldhave dono considerably bottor. PhylliaAxworthy, who lugged in .badly on thoturns, trailed tho field after the first Quar-ter, but displayed a good turn of speed intho run home to bo close up at tho finish.Auto Machine, who ran 4.50. paced veryeasily all tho way and could have improvedconsiderably on 2.19 for the last mile.

For a horse in his class, the effort ofLucky Love was impressive. He registered4.52 for tho full distance, going the lastmile in 2.20 and tho final half in 1.8. Hehunr; on well under pressure in tho straightand displayed both stamina and courageat ther finish.

Frank Worthy Colt ImprovedNgingonglugo (K. Bell) was given a

steady task over a mile and a-half, theFrank Worthy—Waterfall colt (I. R. Mor-rison) going on for tho last mile. Ngingo-ngingo increased tho pace on tho final cir-cuit, nnd tho two-year-old responded in goodstyle to finish on terms and run his lasthn.if in 1.11. He paced with a lot of deter-mination in the run homo. Ngingongingowag given p, (second task by himself, andwithout any troublo ran the last anile anda-quarter of three laps in 2.58J, tho finalhalf in 1.85, under restraint.

What promised to be a good test betweenthe trotters Manna's Son (M. S. Groat),Autumn Lu (G. Stubbs) and Peter Junior(R. D. Kennerley), who left the two milespost in that order, was spoiled by AutumnLu breaking badly in the first quarterand stopping Peter Junior. Autumn Lu.after losing 100 yards, settled down, andwent after the leader, but Peter Junior,who continued to mix his gait, was pulledup. At the end of a mile Autumn Lu hadreduced the cap to Manna's Son. but shebroke up again, and Manna's Son, nftergoing a mile and a-half in 3.47, was pulledup. Be trotted very soundly all the way,having previously pone a useful mile withthe Blue Mountnin King filly (E. A. Groat).Autumn Lu's display was disappointing, asearlier, with W. McLaughlin in the saddle,she had gone smoothly on the sand track.The mare appears to go much more steadilywhen worked in saddle.

Peter Junior was later sent a mile anda-half alone, which he covered in 3.50. Hpwent steadily, but was not asked for speeduntil the final circuit, when he clocked1.15 3-5 for the Inst half.

Young Rodney (C. G. Lee) trotted in hisusual solid manner over four laps, assistedby Realty tE. S. Croat). They were not ona time-making mission, but Young Rodneystuck gamely to the pacer when the speedwas slightly increased in the. final section.

Silver Bingen (N. L. Craig)_ wns not,troubled to run two miles in 4.50. He wentaway very steadily and increasing the speedat tho £nd of a mile, ran the last six fur-longs at a 2.20 gait. Silver Bingen bearsa more healthy appearance than he dida few weeks ago.

Tryment's Sound TaskTryment (A. W. Broughton) conceded

Silver Bullet (K. F. Morrison) and- KedFrontier (C. Smith) severpl lengths' starto\k er a mile and wa3 first .homo in 2.23.Silver Bullet made tho pace for five fur-longs and then retired, Red Frontier takingcharge to lend into tho straight. Trymentheaded the three-year-old in tho run home,to clock 1.8 3-5 . for the last half. Allowedto' go on an extra half-mile, Tryment, whowas unhoppled, registered 1.10 and was notbustled at tho finish.

Moko Girl (W. T. Dye) led out from In-dian Author (J. Henderson) from the twomiles post, but thero was not much pace onin the early stages. The trotter commenceda faster run six furlongs from home, andIndian Author went after -her, but whenoverhauling the leader, left her feet, MokoGirl finishing several lengths m front torun the last mile in 2.30. Indian Authorwas unhoppled, but up to the time she madetho mistake, was pacing Bolidly. She ranthe last six furlongs at a 2.3-1 gait. .

Nelson Luvan (C. G. Lee), aftej- workingsteadily with Mountain Sun (Vv. Fleming)for two lapa, was«given a sound task byhimself. He went leisurely to tho mile postand increased the speed to run the re-mainder of tho journey in 2.22. Whenwarmed up to his task. Nelson Luvan pacerlwith more energy, and was hanging on Wellat the finish. Mountain Sun trotted a com-fortable two miles, but except for tho thirdhalf, in 1.17, wns not going faster thana 2.40 gait. , ,

Jester (E. S. Groat) and Rock Hinton(M. S. Groat) worked unhoppled over sev-eral circuits. Jester was very keen to hitout first, but was held under restraint. RockHinton, after going a mile steadily, wanallowed to step along for six furlongs ata 2.30 gait, and did his work well.

Star Pronto (B. Dyer) worked over sev-eral laps at a 2.40 gait. Although improvingfrom his injury, ho is still showing signsof soreness on tho hard track.

Dark Shadow (C. Smith), paced freelyover four Japs, gradually iryueasing thespeed until he finished up by running 1.13for the final section.

Work on the Sand TrackWilma Dillon was given long, steady un-

hoppled work, but was not allowed to showmuch speed. He is looking big in condition,but will shape lip again with a few fast

Themaiden is furnishing into a mco type ofhorse and is making good progress. ■ _

.sound gallop, at which gait he covered twomiles. Ho thoroughly relished the work anddisplayed plenty of energy. A few sharphoppled, tasks will put him into good orderafDari Direct <G.

Wee Parrish (D. Cook) galloped resolutelyover five laps. He has not clone much fastwork for some time and in consequence is

carrying a good deal of condition.Glandore (A. McGnrry) gave a useful dis-

play of free-legged pacing, being keen tohit out on tho final circuit. Ho is 111 greatheart and a few sharp runs will fit. htmfor coming engagements. Student Prince,saddle, was given 11. similar tusk, andacquitted himself creditably.

SYDNEY TURF NEWS

EVENTS AT RANDWICK

SUCCESS OF AIR QUEEN

BOMBUS SHOWS GOOD PROMISE' [from our own correspondent]

SYDNEY, Jan. 25G. Price added another good race to

his record, and in his absence, for hewas on his way to New Zealand, whenAir Queen won the Challenge Stakesat Ranchvick last Saturday. In thespring Air Queen was disappointing inseveral races, but she was just thesame as all of her sex, showing no format all at that season.

In the Challenge Stakes, run over sixfurlongs, Persian, whose trainer, J. i.Jamieson, was also'absent in" New Zealand,was, a,pronounced favourite. Before tho racethere was much discussion whether lie wouldbet able to go fast enough early to keepwithin striking distance o£ speedy horsesliku Leila. Vale. Air Queen and Vista. Inpoint of fact, Persian began too well andforced the pace with Leila Vale to thoturn, where tho filly had had enough. Per-sian. although a good miler, was beatena furlong from homo, the early dash leav-ing him wanting. Leila Valo even cameagain and beat him for fourth place.

The winner, Air Queen, followed the pace-makers into the straight and had the racewon a furlong from home. Tho four-year-oldMoabilo niaro Damo Moab came with a latorun into second place three-quarters of , alength away, but Air Queen was a definitewinner. She is owned by the partnership ofbusiness men who raco under tho name of"Mr. Smithden," and is a sister to thodisappointing Bronzo Hawk and FlyingDave, at one time also trained by Price.

Lorlgan out of LuckFrimsel was a etarter in this raco but

beat home only one horse. She had beengiving H. B. Lorigan some trouble and hodid not fancy hor chance particularly, butho thought .'sho would shape better than,eventually she did. Golden Gate also shapedmoderately and little better than Frimsel.

Lorigan's luck is right out. His proinisins two-year-old colt Glimmer bled a gamin his raco when 'soundly supported, thisis the nccond occasion and .it appears littleuso going on with him at present. Bleed-ing in two-year-olds is not at all commonnnd it does not augur well for tho. futureof tho coll. ,

P. Liddle was confident that Satmothwould win the January Handicap and fol-low up with success in the AnniversaryHandicap. The late trotting and pony trainerwas qnite correct in his summing up, fortho first leg of the double, for Satmoth. al-though set a big task by D. Munro. duly

scored. ,He is in better order now than atany previous stago of hie career.

The luck of racing was shown once again

Inst Saturday. After sprinting in the morn-ing Buonarroti, a smart three-year-old colt,

was so lame that AV. Kc-lsc almost decidedto withdraw him. Later ho sent tlio colt tothe course and when going to tho post, J.Pratt, the rider, was in two minds whetherhe should go on or take his mount backto the birdcage. In tho actual race Buonar-roti was first out and led all the way.

Taken to Keiwiigton on Wednesday he car-ried 9.4 and save 271b.. 261b. and 881b. tothree four-year-olds and beat them v\ un-ease.

Ashley Reed's SuspensionJ T. Jamieson's colt Nipper is still in

Melbourne, and when backed to favouritismat Caulfield last Saturday was left at thepost. This wns the indirect cause of Ashley

Reed receiving three months' suspension. Atthe inquiry Reed queried a statement madeby the starter. Mr. Rupert Greene, whopnid that Niper wns in line at the tunaof barrier-rise. .Reed, according to reports,paid this was untrue and being adjudgedguilty of insulting behaviour to an officialwas severely punished. Tho case has arouseda good deal of comment in Melbourne.

A two-year-old above the average hnebeen discovered in tho gelding Bombus. Itis unfortunate for his owner-trainer. Bailey

Payten, that Bombus is unsexed, for ne

is thus rendered ineligible for all tllP.

two and three-year-old races. At Randwickon Saturday he ran right off the course,yet defeated the Limond colt Theo and auseful field very decisively. .

Havaspot registered ono of his inevitableseconds at Kensington on Wednesday, carp-ing topweight, 9.10, in a good mile welterfield But for being hampered just at tnefinish he would probably have won. G-.

Young and McCarten had their consolationlater in tho day when mfefe .won thetwo-year-old event. Makalu. <w-lfo led allthe way. is a Highficld filly owned by Cap-

tain C. J. Chishblm, ot the family of blood-ttock salesmen.

CRICKETAUCKLAND ASSOCIATION

TOUR OF AUSTRALIAN TEAM

ALTERATION IN DATES WANTEDSpecial mention of the cordial spirit

which existed during the Plunket Shieldmatch between Auckland and Canter-bury was made in a letter receivedfrom the latter association at last 'even-ing's meeting of the management com-mittee of the Auckland Cricket Asso-ciation. The Canterbury Associationalso expressed appreciation of the finehospitality experienced by its teamduring its stay in Auckland.

The New Zealand Council forwarded adraft itinerary, of the coming Australiancricket tour. The itinerary, as affectingAuckland, aroused some discussion, it beingjiointed out that the proposed dates forAuckland's game against tho Australianswould clash with the appearance in Auck-land of the Australian athletic team. Itwas decided to set up a sub-committoe tonegotiate with tho New Zealand Councilwith a view to securing an alteration ofdates for the Auckland fixture.

Tho application for affiliation from theWest Coast Rodney Association was granted.

The association's scheme of playing toprogramme, which, owing to tho numberof wet Saturdays this season, has resultedin several of the games being confined toone clay's play, was objected to in lettersreceived from tho Parnell. Grafton andEden Clubs. All clubs expressed themselvesdissatisfied with the one-day matches.

Mr. F. Byerley moved that, in tho eventof rain, the matches should still be of twodays' duration, but tho motion lapsed forwant of a seconder. It was finally decidedto advißo the clubs which had protestedthat the association would continue play-ing to programme, and, if the clubs con-cerned wished to proceed further in thematter, ,thcy could bring the matter beforethe attention of the next general meetingof the association.

The Thames Association conveyed its con-gratulations to the committee on tho Auck-land representative side winning the PlunketShield. .

It_ was decide 4 to place on record appre-ciation of th'e country committee's workin connection ;with arranging for club teamsto visit country centres on AnniversaryDay. Tho connhitteo considered that thoinnovation had proved highly successful.-

THE PROBLEM OF POLAND

In the changeful scene of contem-porary Europe, attention is turnedsuddenly to Poland. It has oftenswung that way. Second only to theBalkans, this region of the Conti-nent excites anxiety about the pros-pects of peace. It is one of the hot-points of international contact, withfriction frequently nearing the un-manageable maximum. Hence theten-year pact of non-aggression be-tween Germany and Poland is re-garded in League circles as one ofthe most important events since thewar. If its undertaking be kept, oneof the chief obstructions of Euro-pean fraternity will be overcome.Ever since the war, Poland has beena difficult problem. To recognise itsindependence was accepted as aduty of high policy at the firstplenary session of the peace confer-ence. There had been a Polandaforetime, but three partitions haddone it such dismembering injurythat nothing remained after 1*796 ; atthe end of the Napoleonic wars, in1815, further changes thereaboutsgave Russia the lion's share, Prussiaand Austria having to be contentwith less considerable portions—anindependent republic of Cracow wasafterwards absorbed by Austria. SoPoland had vanished from the map,except for the retention of its nameas part of Russia, long before theGreat War. To reinstate it was aneasier task for the peace conferencethan to delimit its frontiers; but inthe end it was decided that the newPoland should include practically allthat had been taken by Prussia andAustria in the partitions of theeighteenth CQntury. Doubts as towhat should be done with parts ofEast Prussia and Upper Silesia wereleft for local plebiscites to settle,East Prussia declaring for Germanyand Upper Silesia being divided.Access to the Baltic by way of thefamous Corridor, with certain rightsin the free city of Danzig, completedthe Polish gains. In all theyamounted to the resurrection of animportant State, having an area of150,000 square miles and a popula-tion of over 30,000,000. Germany,however, has neither forgiven norforgotten, although on Poland's sidefeeling has been more intense.

This feeling has been promptedby fear. On their part, the Germanshave been chiefly concerned becausethe creation of the Corridor separ-ated from the body of their countrythe territory of East Prussia, a terri-tory that had been for centuries thecradle of German culture and mili-tary prowess. In East Prussia itselfthe German-Polish question hasnaturally remained a matter ofresentment. There has recentlyarisen in the main part of Germany,rather interestingly, a vague respectfor the achievements of othernations—an outcrop of the new Ger-man cult of nationhood—and a youngpeople like the Poles have been anatural object for this nascent re-spect. In May last, Hitler expressedthis feeling in an important speech,and there is no doubt that manyeminent Nazis, in their reassertionof the idea of a "Mittel Europa,"would rather attach than attackPoland. Yet this idea does not neces-sarily go the length of absorptionas a matter of definite aim, andPolish independence is not alto-gether scouted as a profitable possi-bility. Maybe the advantage ofhaving a "buffer State" on theeastern frontier, as some protectionagainst Communist Russia, influ-ences Nazi opinion. If it were notfor the severance of East Prussia,probably less would be heard ofGerman grievance. However, on thePolish side of the boundary therehas been much excited speech, someof it aggressive and all of itprompted by dread of ugly develop?ments. A few have gone so far as tofoment bellicose intentions towardEast Prussia. Last October theschools and universities of Polanddiscussed throughout a week theallegedly Polish character of thatpart of Germany, with an apparentpurpose of developing a convictionthat ere long it must be subduedand absorbed by Poland. This was asignificant straw in the wind.

On the other hand, the possibilitythat Poland might combine withFrance in on Germany hasbeen obviously present in many Ger-man minds. There has long been amore or less explicit understandingbetween Poland and France, thelatter regarding the resurrection ofPoland as a hindrance to Germanambition and including this StateWith the countries of the LittleEntente—Czecho-Slovakia, Rumaniaand Yugoslavia—as a counterpoiseto' that ambition. This French viewof the position had expression in theLocarno agreements. Some Germanutterances, particularly in EastPrussia, have manifested a resentfulreaction to French diplomacy'sencouraging of a Polish alliance.Lately, however, Polish politicianshave been openly dissatisfied withwhat they deem the neglect of theircountry's interests by FrenchGovernments. The Four-Power Pactof Britain, France, Italy and Ger-

many, by its institution of a groupof Powers seemingly ready to ignorePoland, angered them as it did thechief spokesmen of the LittleEntente, having little love for Italy.Into this disturbed position Hitlerhas stepped with the non-aggressionpact, after the fashion of the astuteBismarck whom he claims to equalin national strategy. It is not sur-prising that the official Soviet organ,Izvestia, throws doubt on his sin-cerity. Whether he is really inearnest in so dealing with Polandby a peace-promoting measure, or ismerely playing for positional advan-tage against France and Russia, can-not be known until much else hashappened. Meanwhile, Geneva'shope of gain for the cause of peacecan be cherished as the most favour-able interpretation of a surprisingevent.

DOLLAR AND POUND

The President of the UnitedStates now has complete legalauthority for the devaluation of thedollar, and the new standard of goldcontent is about to be proclaimed.The influence of the act upon foreignexchange has been exercising thepublic mind for some time, andthere have been warnings frommany quarters of the possibility ofreprisals by other countries to pro-tect themselves from what mightybetermed American dumping. The in-stability of exchange rates is oneof the serious impediments to thereturn toward normality of inter-national trade, and the cheaperdollar that is about to come intoexistence will certainly add to thatproblem. It seems probable, how-ever, that overturea will shortly bemade to Britain for an agreementfor the stabilisation df the dollarwith sterling. There is the provisionin the American scheme for profitsderived from the reduction of thegold value of the dollar to beapplied to the same purpose as theBritishExchange Equalisation Fund,but this would not necessarily pre-vent a currency depreciation com-petition with other countries or pre-vent protective measures such as theimposition of surtaxes, the raisingof tariffs or the fixing of quotas tocounteract the advantage Americangoods would enjoy under the newcurrency. What Britain's attitudewill be to stabilisation proposals canonly be a matter of conjecture atthe moment. Doubtless everythingwill depend upon the rate. On gene-ral grounds it can hardly l\e ques-tioned that stabilisation betweenAmerica and Britain would be in theinterests of trade between the coun-tries and would also give a usefullead to the world, for, next to con-fidence, stability in all conditionsgoverning trade is a vital need. Theeffect of America's action uponprices within the United States isnot the concern of foreigners, butthe influence exerted overseas cer-tainly is, and for that reason allcountries will watch with the keen-est interest, and perhaps anxiety,the negotiations which are expectedto take place between America andBritain. A stabilisation agreement,particularly if accompanied by aneasement of the American tariffs,might be a milestone in the arduousmarch toward international recovery.

AUSTRALIAN MISSION

To the Hon. F. H. Stewart,Federal Minister of Customs, theHon. R. W. D. Weaver, of the NewSouth Wales Cabinet, and the mem-bers of their party, New Zealandextends a hearty welcome. Their

presence at the Waitangi celebra-tions will be appreciated by bothraces and their discussions with theGovernment in connection with mat-ters of trade will help, as Mr.Stewart hopes, to generate a betterunderstanding and promote moregoodwill between the two Do-minions. If, in the past, there hadbeen more frequent exchanges ofviews by word of mouth, some of theexisting difficulties might not havearisen. The country will be anxiousto hear what Mr. Stewart has to sayin regard to co-operation in the mat-ter of marketing produce and to thefurther suggested restrictions uponexport. The producers in both coun-tries are aware of the importance ofthe regulation of shipments to theBritish market in order to avoidgluts and the consequent drop inprices, and it would be all to thegood if through joint action pricefluctuations could be limited by sup-ply control. The question, however,is a very wide one, and agreementmay be difficult to reach because theposition of the two countries in seve-ral important trades is not preciselythe same. So far no meat quota hasbeen imposed upon New Zealand, al-though in regard to beef an esti-mate must be adhered to. The fatlamb industry is untrammelled.Through natural advantages andspecialisation New Zealand hasgained a predominant position inthis market, and it would be impos-sible for the Dominion to adopt anypolicy of controlled lamb supplywhich might eventually react againsther interests. As to butter, Aus-tralia's output is diminishing, whilethat of New Zealand is expanding.Australia swung into heavy butterproduction very speedily under theinfluence of the .wool slump, but itis probable that the swing back tosheep will be just as rapid. In NewZealand a movement to the samedegree is impossible, because somuch of the dairying land does notlend itself to ready change in,farmpractice. Thus the approach to con-trol measures whether in marketingor in the zone of quotas is ratherdifferent from that of the Common-wealth. There may be no justifica-tion for the assumption that Aus-tralia's representative will suggestthe Dominion's acquiescence to abutter quota, but he should clearlyunderstand that the whole weight ofthe industry, with the support of alarge section of the community, willresist any proposal of the kind. Thelimitation of the export of dairy pro-duce would be a much more seriousthing to New Zealand than to Aus-tralia. Perhaps Mr. Stewart willhave more to hope for in his missionof goodwill in helping to remove theunreasonable embargoes which arehampering the trade relations of thetwo Dominions.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

QUALITY IN LIFE >

The following is an abstract from alittle book " Quality in Life," by PercySmith:—"To know something of life'smagnitude and its diversity; to boacquainted with joy, and with regretswhich yet hold an after-sweetness be-cause, at least, they do mean experi-ence; to use our senses well; seeing thebewitching wonder of colour and ofform, and the interplay of light anddark; hearing the music of storms, theripple of running water and the song ofbirds; feeling the wind blow on the skinand through the hair, and appreciatingthe delicate sense of touch; knowingthe scent of the country after rain, andliking the taste of ripe fruit and new-baked bread and cakes; to discern thegood in humanity and beauty of allkinds; to love, and to be willing tosacrifice; to be learning always and yetto recognise mystery and rejoice in itsunendingness; to realise the worth ofloyalty and of friendship; to treasurechildren's faith in us, and the memoryof their eyes; to possess imagination aspart of our equipment and to win asense of unity by moans of a wide sym-pathy; this kindles existence into alife fraught with quality."

YOUNG GERMANY"Over and beyond the physical and

material aspects of German reanr t-

ment, there is the all-important psy-chological factor," writes Dr. ShepardStone, who has lived in Germany formany years, in Current History. "Theoccasional speeches in which ChancellorHitler and his associates protest Ger-many's love for peace cannot concealthe fact that every effort is beingdirected toward rousing the martialspirit of the nation. Millions of youngGermans, from six years up, are beinginculcated with the idea of heroicallyliving and dying for the glory of theFatherland, Organised in the HitlerYouth, they begin to march and wearuniforms before their unformed mindsare aware of what it all means. Schoolsspread propaganda, and young Ger-many in its spare hours has duties tofulfil toward the State, including train-ing in elementary forms of hand-grenade throwing and shooting.

. . .

Robust and martial expression is cul-tivated in every direction. Germannewspapers and magazines have a pre-dilection for military metaphors andsimiles. The weekly newsreels shownin the motion-picture theatres are al-most exclusively devoted to StormTroops, Leaders Escort Troops andReichswehr parades.

. . .To-day the

German Government does not wantwar. It is not prepared. But the 'testa-ment' of the leader is not reassuring.Germany, especially young Germany, ismarching. The question remains—Where?"

EXPANDING COMMONWEALTH"It is clear," writes Professor John

Coatman in the Times, "that theBritish Commonwealth is an expandingCommonwealth; India has already, soto speak, her ticket of admission; Cey-lon and Burma are candidates for ad-mission whose claims will have to beconsidered sooner or later. In a word,by the natural evolution of that won-derfully powerful principle of associa-tion between free peoples, which wecall 'Dominion Status,' we of theBritish Commonwealth have in ourhands an instrument for promotingand ensuring co-operation between dif-ferent countries, races, creeds andcolours such as the world has neverknown before. It is to the advantageof the whole world that the action ofthe basic principles of the BritishCommonwealth should proceed unim-peded and unimpaired. The stabilityand progress of such a great part ofthe world's area and proportion of itspeoples are in themselves of inestimablevalue in international political andeconomic affairs. Equally obviously anycheck to such action must hav e pro-found repercussions on the idealworld-wide co-operation embodied inthe League of Nations, because if theBritish Commonwealth with all itsnatural and acquired advantages breaksdown at any point, what hope can therpbe of better and more lasting co-opera-tion elsewhere ? The Conference onBritish Commonwealth Relations heldin Toronto last September has shownhow closely allied are the twin idealsof the Commonwealth and the Leagueof Nations in the minds of Britishpeoples all over the world. The depar-ture of •the Irish Free State from theCommonwealth would be a disasterfrom this point of view, and is, there-fore, of concern to the whole world."

POWER OF TARIFFS

In a broadcast speech Mr. WalterRunciman, President of the Board ofTrade, said that the 50 per cent dutiesplaced on goods which were cominginto Britain in abnormal quantitieswas a rough and ready measure to stopthe gaps in our defence. "Most of theduties are now between 20 per centand 30 per cent, a moderate level astariffs go," he said. Under the tradeagreements concluded with all theScandinavian countries, with Finlandand Argentina, Britain had got im-portant advantages for her export tradewhich she could never have got with-out the bargaining power of tariffs. laseveral agreements the foreign coun-tries concerned had promised to takemore coal and coke. The net resultwas that on the basis of 1931 theycould count on more than 3,000,000extra tons of British coal beinE soldto those foreign countries. "Somepeople used to say that tariffs cannotbe t reduced by means of tariffs. Theycan, we have proved it. When Parlia-ment was discussing the Import DutiesAct the Chancellor of the Exchequerand 1 made it perfectly clear that wewere going to use this, new bargainingweapon to get advantages for our ex-porters. I do not want to put it toohigh, but I can say that we have keptthat pledge, and kept it with com-parative success. Almost every indus-try which we protected under the Im-port Duties Act is doing better now.In wool work has been found for halfof those who were out of work lastyear in addition to 'those already em-ployed. In cotton Lancashire, Cheshire,and Yorkshire are having a very diffi-cult time. But even there the numberof people at work is a little biggerand the mills are taking in more andmore raw cotton. The plain fact isthat despite the chaos of internationaltrade we have seen improvements herewhich other countries envy, and Britishindustry and commerce is to-day em-ploying and supporting more wage-earners than at any time in the pastthree years."

LOCAL AND GENERAL

The New School YearThis is the last week of the school

summer holidays, and many familiesalready have returned to the city fromholiday resorts. The new primaryschool year will begin on Monday,whilo State secondary schools will reopen on Tuesday.

Girl Fractures LegThrough falling jvhile at play, Nell

Cameron, aged 10, of Ngaruawahia,who was spending a holiday with anaunt, Mrs. W. Harvey, of 11 StanleyPoint Road, Stanley Bay, suffered afracture of a leg yesterday. The in-jured girl, who is a daughter of Mr.Allan Cameron, of River Road, Ngarua-wahia, was admitted to the AucklandHospital.

Many Horses lor ShowA convincing indication of the ro-

newed popularity of horses is given inthe exceptionally large number of en-tries for horses in the Royal Show tobe held at Auckland next week. Thereare 616 entries, compared with 384 atthe last Royal Show in Auckland in1926 and 155 at last year's Aucklandshow. The total number of draughthorses to be exhibited is ■ 106, asagainst 88 in 1926 and 58 last year.Northcote Water

Referring to the condition of theNorthcote water supply, the water-'works engineer, Mr. J. Williamson,stated at a meeting of the BoroughCouncil last evening that the posi-tion was now satisfactory so far asLake Pupuke and the Northcote reser-voir. were concerned. There were "badpatches" of water in the borough, how-ever. They occurred in the mains, andthe trouble could be remedied by theuse of scour valves attached to deadends.Farm Buildings Burned

Fire early yesterday morning totallydestroyed a barn and milking shed, to-gether with plant, on the property ofMr. John Francis White, at Ngarara-tunua, near Whangarei. The outbreakoccurred some hours after the familybad retired at night. Fortunately, therewas no wind at the time, otherwise theresidence, which is near by, would havebeen endangered. The buildings wereinsured for £450 and the milking plantfor £IOO, both with the New ZealandInsurance Company-, Limited.

Waikato RegimentThe First Battalion of the Waikato

Regiment will undergo a week's consoli-dated training at the Hopuhopu Camp,near Ngaruawahia, in February. It isanticipated that about 300 officers andmen will attend the camp. In additionto platoon and section drill battalionmanoeuvres " under active service con-ditions " will be undertaken, special at-tention being given to anti-gas and anti-aircraft tactics. An aeroplane fromAuckland will participate in themanoeuvres and give demonstrations oflow flying attack.King Country Roads

On account of the heavy rain whichfell recently in the King Country, theAutomobile Association advises that aportion of the main highway betweenTe Kuiti and Taumarunui has cut upbadly and serious trouble developed onMonday. About five or six miles of thehighway south of Mapiu required theuse of chains for a portion of the day,but the latest report received yesterdayevening indicated that the road 'wasdrying fast but- was still in a far fromsatisfactory condition. It is expectedthat after*a short spell of fine weathernormal conditions will again prevail.The Godwit Season

The godwit shooting season, whichopens to-morrow and will continueuntil March 31, promises good sportfor enthusiasts. Keports already re-ceived in Auckland indicate that thebirds are plentiful on the westernbeaches, and especially so in thevicinity of Kaipara Harbour. Theynre also in fair numbers about Muri-wai. After their long flight to NewZealand from Siberia, where theynest, the godwits are thin and ex-hausted, but they quickly improve insize and condition in the Dominion.

Antarctic CoincidenceA packing case was sighted on an ice

floe by the look-out of the I? oval re-search ship Discovery 11. while the ves-sel was on her course, skirting the icepack, from the Falkland Islands to NewZealand. It is assumed that this musthave been put on the ice by the Byrdexpedition during the operation of un-loading the aeroplane and subsequentlywashed to sea. The area in which thefloe was passed is probably one of themost remote 011 the surface of the greatexpanse of the southern ocean and thefact that it should have passed close tothe Discovery 11. forms a coincidencealmost without parallel in the annals ofAntarctic navigation.

Carrier Pigeon RestsWhen the river steamer Rawliiti was

between Mercer and Rangiriri in pass-ing up the Waikato River, a carrierpigeon appeared overhead, and, afterfluttering round the vessel for a fewminutes, landed on the deck. Its list-less manner of flj'ing had shown thatit was exhausted. It allowed the crewto handle it and ate readily of wheatwhich they gave it. There appeared tobe four letters on a ring on one leg.The first three were "C.P.R.," and itis thought the four may have been"C.P.R.C.," as the initial letters ofthe Christchurch Pigeon Racing Club.After resting, the pigeon roso andwinged away again.

Criminal SessionsThe first criminal sessions of the

Supreme Court for the year will opennext Tuesday. So far only ten caseshave been set down for trial, but it is

expected that the calendar will benearly double that length by the timeit is completed. There is one charge ofattempted murder against a womanand one against a man of negligentdriving so as to cause death, but themajority of the charges so far setdown are of breaking and enteringor of theft. The sessions will bo presided over by Mr. Justice Herdmanand Mr. Justice Smith. The case ofWilliam Alfred Bayly, charged withdouble murder, is not yet on the list.Schoolboys in Australia

"Wherever Ave went in Australia,we were approached by former pupilsof New Zealand secondary schools whowere anxious to see if a representativeof their particular college was in ou»party," stated Mr. T. A. Lappin, ofthe staff of King's College, who re-turned to Auckland yesterday afterconducting a party of 38 Dominionschoolboys on a tour of Australia. Mr.Lappin said some of the inquirerswere keenly disappointed when theyfound their old school was not repre-sented, but those who found anybodywho could tell them about their formerassociations and associates displayedthe greatest gratification. The interesttaken in the party by former NewZealanders was an excellent feature ofthe tour.

POLAR FLIGHTELLSWORTH'S NEW PLAN

WEDDELL TO ROSS SEA

JOURNEY OF 2700 MILES

STARTING NEXT NOVEMBER

[by telegraph—own correspondent]DUNEDIN, Tuesday

At the present moment, with thebitterness of defeat still vividly beforehim, the Polar 9xplorer, Mr. LincolnEllsworth, is already dreaming of an-other attempt to cross the Antarcticcontinent. This time, if his hopesmaterialise, his flight will be made fromDeception Island, south of CapoHorn.

Using that point as base he will flyto the Weddell Sea, then turping hisplane due south, and flying for LittleAmerica. Once there he will be pickedup by his own ship, the Wyatt Earp.

If those dreams of his come true theend of next January will see him inDunedin again, his last flight accom-plished and his back turned for everto the south. These are still onlydreams and until Mr. Ellsworth Jiijsreached Los Angeles and had time tosettle his plans, they must remain so.But by the end of the first week inMarch he will know definitely whetherthe Antarctic will see him again orwhether his exploring days have closedfor ever.

Riddles To Be Solved

"There is still such a lot to besettled," he said. "Does the Ross Seajoin the Weddell Sea? Where doesQueen Maude Range end ? These aretwo great riddles of the frozen souththat I want to solve. It won't be easy.I have seen the Antarctic now and Iknow what the conditions are.

"It will mean a flight of 2700 miles,1800 of which will be over unknownland, but only so can the task whichI want to undertake be accomplished.Actually, though, it will be easierthan the flight I would have had aheadof me if my present expedition hadgone right. By flying from DeceptionIsland to Little America, where theByrd expedition will still be encamped,I will be saved the return flight of 1450miles across the Antarctic ice and snowsand 1450 miles back again over thesame route."

South of Cape HornIf at the beginning of March Mr.

Ellsworth decides that he will makethis last journey to the South he willfly the aeroplane at present lying inthe hold of the Wyatt Earp from LosAngeles to Valparaiso. There he will bejoined about the middle of next Augustby the Wyatt Earp from New Zealandand the expedition will be headed southfor Deception Island. The only anchor-age for ships in that rugged coast isthe. sunken water of an old volcano,one of whose vents is still active.

The island will be reached about theend of September and a month will beallowed for unforeseen delays. If allgoes well the aeroplane Polar Star willrise into the air about the beginning ofNovember, when flying conditions areat their best in the Antarctic, and headfor the extreme southern edge of theWeddell Sea. At the end of a flight of1250 miles the aeroplane will be headeddue south, with its real journey beforeit—a flight of 1450 miles across the gapwhich divides' the Ross and WeddellSeas.

Hazardous JourneyThis will be the most hazardous part

of the journey, but it will also be themost interesting. At its conclusion Mr.Ellsworth will have definitely settledwhether the txo seas are linked to-gether, and also whether the QueenMaude Range ends abruptly or whetherit stretches far across the Antarcticcontinent.

Once the aeroplane has reached LittleAmerica the Wyatt Earp will leave thebase at Deception Island and commencea two months' journey through the ice-studded seas to Admiral Byrd's base.That should be reached by the end ofDecember or early in January, andthen the expedition, with its leader andthe Polar Star aboard, will turn north-ward for Dunedin.

"Mr. Bernt Balchen, the famouspilot, will go with me if I make theflight," Mr. Ellsworth said. As the re-porter left him the glow of confidenceon his face left little doubt that theexplorer who has suffered so bitter adefeat will make yet one more journeyto the frozen south.

NATIONAL PARK HOLIDAY

FLYING TO CHATEAU TO-DAY

[BY TELEGRAFH—PRESS ASSOCIATION]DUNEDIN". Tuesday

The Polar explorer, Mr. Lincoln Ells-worth , will leave Dunedin to-morrowmorning by aeroplane for TonKariroNational Park, where he will spend afew days before embarking on theMariposa at Auckland on February 10for Los Angeles.

Mr. Ellsworth and Sir Hubert Wil-kins were entertained this morning bythe Otago Harbour Board. Speeches ofsympathy were made by the boardchairman and the Mayor of Dunedin,the Rev. E. T. Cox. They expressedregret that Sir. Ellsworth's Antarcticexpedition had not achieved its objectand the hope that if another attemptwere made, Dunedin would again bethe base.

Mr. Ellsworth thanked the' Dunedinpeople for their kindness, which, hesaid, was in keeping with that he re-ceived throughout the Dominion,

MONEY BAKED IN OVEN

BUSINESS MAN LOSES £IOO

RUSH TO WEEK-END COTTAGE

BANKING OF NOTES NEGLECTED[BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION]

NELSON, Tuesday

How a local business man lost £IOOduring the week-end is being relatedto-day. Actually his week's takings, ex-cluding the silver, which was undam-aged, were baked in an oven while hewas enjoying a bathe in the warm blue*waters of Tasman Bay.

Rushing off to a seaside cottage atTahunanui, he did not have time to go

to the bank, and hid his takings in theoven, as this was not being used dur-ing the holidays.

However, a party of relatives arrivedwhile he was absent at the seashore,and a fire was lit to provide tea, noone of the party knowing what wasbeing over-cooked in the oven. Thebank notes were toasted to a cinder.

ALMOST OVER THE EDGE

CAR SUSPENDED FROM AXLE

MANAWATU BRIDGE ACCIDENT[BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT]

PALMERSTON NORTH, Tuesday

A narrow escape from a serious acci-dent on the Whirokino bridge acrossthe Manawatu River occurred when aheavy sedan car proceeding in thedirection of Wellington crashed throughthe railings of the span just south ofthe centre of the bridge and hungsuspended in mid-air from tho gear-boxand back axle.

The accident was due to the carskidding on the wet, slippery, woodensurface. The skid turned the car almostcompletely round and the impact shat-tered the heavy wooden railings, ofwhich about 18ft. was torn away.

A Manawatu River Service launchand punts happened to be passing underthe bridge at the time of the mishap.The assistance of those on board wassought to secure the car from fallinginto the river. The car contained a manand woman, who escaped injury, butwho experienced an unenviable time inextricating themselves from their pre-carious position.

FAITH IN AUSTRALIA

FITTING NEW PROPELLER

TRIP TO NEW PLYMOUTH

A new propeller will be fitted to-dayto the three-engined monoplane Faithin Australia, which was slightlydamaged when the machine tipped onits nose after swerving to avoid a motor-car while taxi-ing along Muriwai Beachon Sunday afternoon. The aeroplane isexpected to leave Muriwai this after-noon for New Plymouth, where it willbe thoroughly overhauled in prepara-tion for the return .flight across theTasraan Sea, which will be undertakenabout February 14.

A spare propeller to replace thecentre one which was damaged will ar-rive at Auckland from Wellington thismorning and will be taken to Muriwai.As the machine suffered no otherdamage, it will be flown this afternoonto New Plymouth.

TRAFFIC TO ROTORUA

FREEDOM FROM ACCIDENT

HOLIDAY SEASON REPORTSAn agreeable freedom from accident

among the holiday traffic in the Roto-rua district is indicated in reports re-ceived by the Automobile Association.One insurance company has informedthe organisation that there were noclaims made 1 from accidents on theMarnaku Road, while the association'spatrols in Rotorua did not receive anyreports during the holiday season ofmembers involved in collisions.

A feature of the report from thepatrol stationed on the Mamaku wasthat the majority of the traffic was ex-tremely orderly, and there seemed tobe little of the excessive speed withwhich traffic there was credited in pre-vious years. The elimination of thespeed restriction which was tempor-arily imposed some time ago on theroad from Tirau to Rotorua has beenappreciated by motorists, and .thereseems to be every indication that, byplacing the onus on motorists to drivereasonably at all times, a keener senseof responsibility has developed, anddrivers are co-operating in the interestsof greater safety.

The association advises that, duringtar-sealing operations, a portion of themain highway between New Plymouthand lnglewood will be closed for trafficfor about one month. Traffic from thenorth intending to go south throughlnglewood should travel by way of themain Lepperton Road, which branchesoff a few miles on the New Plymouthside of Waitara. Other local detourswill bo indicated by signs.

BETTER LIGHTINGUPPER QUEEN STREET

MORE POWERFUL LAMPS

NEW SYSTEM NEARLY READY!All catvse for complaint concerning

the inadequate lighting of UpperQueen Street should shortly be re-moved, as the work of erecting the newand more powerful lamps is now Hear-

ing completion. It is likely that thenew lamps will be in use in the verynear future.

It lias been recognised for some timethat isome, better lighting system wasrequired for Queen Street throughoutits full length, but the City Councilhas not had the funds with which toinstal more powerful lamps. However,a start has been made with the upperportion of the main thoroughfare, andthe lighting of the main business sec-tion from Wellesley Street to the'waterfront is -to be improved whenfunds become available.

Queen Street was one of the firststreetfi in jwhich electric lighting wasinstalled over 20 years ago. Some ofthe lamps have been improved in themeantime, but the section from Wel-lesley Street to Karangahape Road hasfor soma years been lighted with old-fashioned cluster lamps of barely 300candle-power.

The lamp* jiow being installed willbe more powerful, and will b® sup-ported. on light iron standards about6ft. higher than those at present inuse.

DELAY IN BERTHING

WIND ON THE HARBOUR

DIFFICULTIES OF WANGANELLADifficulty was experienced in berth-

ing the Wanganella at Prince's Wharfyesterday owing to the strong north- ~easterly wind which blew on the har- ;

bour. The vessel arrived from Sydneyat 7 a.m., but the mooring operations 'occupied one a;nd a-half hours .instead-of the customary few minutes..

Lines were put ashore in the usual,

manner as the Wanganella rounded thowharf to berth on the western side,but the wind caught her almost, directlyon the beam, and blew her persistentlyfrom the wharf. The gap grew wider '

between the passengers lining the ship aside and their friends waving tc> themfrom the wharf, until finally the sternmooring line broke under the strainand the vessel drifted almost half-wayto Western Wharf.

The forward line was then cast offand the Wanganella went astern intothe stream, going back to her originalcourse and leaking a second approachto the berth. Wire ropes were securedto the wharf, in addition to the stouthawsers, and a tug was despatched toassist the vessel. The pressure exertedby the tug on the Bhip's starboard sidecounteracted the force of the wind, andthe Wanganella was berthed without •

any further difficulty.The wind was still boisterous when

the vessel left the wharf last.eveningfor the anchorage, where she remainedfor four hours before leaving on acruise to Northern ports. As she backedaway from the wharf the strong breezeblew her toward Western Wharf,, andit was; necessary to bring her lead towind. The anchor cable dragged herbow to the east as she steamed slowlyahead.

REVENGE ON FOREIGNERS

BURNING AND LOOTING

Damage estimated at £50,000 was done by an infuriatedmob in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and the adjoining miningtown. Boulder City, on Monday night and yesterday morning.

The outbreak of violence was directed at the foreign popu-lation and was caused by the death of the chief of the SouthKalgoorlie VolunteerFire Brigade after receiving a blow. Thepolice arrested a foreigner on a charge of manslaughter.

Subsequently the mob broke into the hotel, raided the barand wrecked the furniture. Then they raided many otherpremises occupied by foreigners and indulged in an orgy ofwrecking, burning and looting.

The police made 20 arrests, but in the end the mob wascompletely out of control and the raids continued all night,tiams and motor-cars being seized to convey them to Boulder

/ City. There several shops were damaged and looted.The miners in Boulder City did not go to work yesterday.

Their union has demanded the dismissal of all foreigners.

MISSILES HURLED AT POLICEBy Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright

(Received January 30. 7.5 p.m.)PERTH, Jan. 80

A sensational display of mob ven-geance against the foreign communityat Kalgoorlie and the adjoining miningtown, Boulder City, last night, resultedin the wrecking, looting or burning ofthree hotels, a wine saloon, a two-storev board ingliouse, a brick club-house and 13 shops occupied or ownedby foreigners.

The damage is estimated at £50,000.Twenty arrests were made.

The cause of the outbreak by themob was the death, after a disturbancein a hotel, of George Edward Jordan,a married, man, aged 29, of Kalgoorlie.

Jordan, who was the chief of theSouth Kalgoorlie Volunteer Fire Bri-gade, received a severe blow outsidethe Home from Home Hotel, inHannan Street, Kalgoorlie, which costhim his life.

Immediately after Jordan's death thepolice arrested Claudio Mattaboni, aged04, a barman, on a charge of man-slaughter.

The trouble commenced after eighto'clock' last evening, when about 100people gathered in front of the Homefrom Home Hotel. A boy threw a stonethrough the "bar window, the crashingof the glass being a signal for a violentoutbreak of lawlessness.

The front doors of the hotel wererushed and broken down. The bar wasraided and furniture and fittings ruth-lessly wrecked.

The crowd soon increased to 1000 andthe police lost control.

Then the mob swept from street tostreet, /wrecking, raiding and burningforeign premises and cutting fire hoses.

A wine saloon built of wood and iron,100 yards away, was the next placeraided. Every window was broken. Thefurniture was stacked in the centre ofthe floor and set alight with torches.The place was soon a mass of flamesand was reduced to ruins.

When the police attempted to dis-perse the infuriated crowd they werecompelled to retreat owing to flyingbottles ahd other missiles.

One man led the rioters with a cor-net which had been stolen during thelooting.

One foreigner's shop after anotheryeas wrecked and looted with the

utmost impunity, and fires occurredsimultaneously.

Half a dozen places in Hannan Streetsoon became shambles and splinteredglass and looted goods everywhere lit-tered the streets.

Early this morning the mob attackedthe newlv-erected International Clubused by the foreign population. Thiswas soon in ruins. Deflections from thefires illuminated the sky all night.

Having finished with Kalgoorlie themob seized trams and motor-cars andvisited Boulder City, where they dam-aged several shops before they returnedto their homes with the proceeds oftheir looting.

No work was done at the mines to-day. The Miners' Union has demandedthe dismissal of all foreigners, who,with their dependants and colleagues,number 1500.

POLICE LARGELY OUTNUMBERED(Received January 30. 10.15 p.m.)

PERTH. Jan. 30A further message from Kalgoorlie

in connection with the riot states thatall foreigners had quitted their prem-ises, having heard what was about tohappen. The majority of,them spent thenight in the bush. Some are in thetown to-day surveying the debris andremains of their shops.

The rioting wa3 watched by hundredsof people. The actual wreckers weremostly youths, whose sympathiserscheered them on and, while keeping ata safe distance themselves, displayedwillingness to share in the loot.

Many of the rioters became drink-crazed. With bottles of liquor fillingtheir pockets, they went about shout-ing their intention to "clean up theDagoes."

The police were warned not to at-tempt to interfere, as they would bedealt with. One constable defied thewarning and was struck on the headby a flying bottle and sent to hospital.

The total number of available police-men in Kalgoorlie and Boulder Citywas only 20. Consequently they werehopelessly outnumbered.

The Western Australian Governmenthas sent 200 extra, policemen to thescene, but these are regarded as in-sufficient owing to the long-smoulderingracial jealousies resulting from theeconomic penetration of foreigners onthe goldfields. The climax was Jordan'sdeath.

A similar riot occurred in 1919, whenall foreigners were evicted from Kal-goorlie and Boulder City after the deathof a man named. Norwood.

Lord Allenby's movements have beena mystery since he hurried throughSingapore bound for Java on the even-ing of January 5. He intended to visitBali and return to attend Rotary andex-servicemen's functions in Singapore.

Later it was rumoured here that hehad flown secretly to Singapore to par-ticipate in the Naval Conference, butapparently Lord Allenby flew secretlyto Sumatra and then embarked on aship for England on January 13.

Lord Allenby explained in a messageto Singapore that it was necessary tocancel his arrangements " for urgentreasons." The latter proved to be thathe had discovered in Java a plot, inwhich three non-Dutch subjects wereinvolved, to kill him.

The police received descriptions ofthe plotters and took the necessarysteps, but Lord Allenby, realising thathe would be incessantly shadowed,changed his plans and made a fictitiousbooking to fly to Singapore.

POLAND AND GERMANYNON-AGGRESSION PACT

IMPORTANCE OF EVENT

CRITICISM OF THE LEAGUE

By Telegraph—Press Association—CopyrightLONDON, Jan. 29

The Geneva correspondent of theDaily Mail says the 10 years' pact ofnon-aggression between Germany andPoland is regarded in League of Nationcircles as one of the most importante\'ents since the war. Much credit isgiven to Herr Hitler for removing oneof the major obstacles to an under-standing on armaments and generalconciliation.

The Geneva correspondent of theManchester Guardian says officialPolish explanations suggest that thepact was the culmination of dissatisfac-tion with M. Paul Boncour's policyand the late French Government'sweakness, especially its acceptance ofthe Four-Power pact.

It is felt in Poland that France hascontinually ignored Polish wishes.Poland also regards the League sceptic-ally owing to its capitulation to Japan.The Poles contend that the League'sfailure is due to the weakness of theWestern Powers, causing the belief thatit could not offer support in cases ofemergency, which was again obvious inthe case of Austria. Accordingly, thePoles must protect themselves.

The House of Representatives to-dayaccepted the Senate's minor revisionsof President Roosevelt's Monetary Bill.The measure now goes to the Whit©House, where it is expected to beformally signed to-morrow.

The vast dollar stabilisation fund andthe other features of the bill will there-upon become operative, causing th»immediate repatriation of much of thacapital which, fled from the countfyduring the months of monetarycertainty, and caused some concern inTreasury circles. .'

| It is felt that the bill will have thaeffect of forcing the dollar upward, con-,trary to the Administration's wishes to.keep it at least below 60 cents. It maybe necessary for the Treasury to startimmediately to sell great quantities ofdollars to fulfil its desire for deprecia-tion.

/

Mr. Roosevelt may proclaim the do-valuation of the dollar to a (30 cent*level when he has signed the bill.

The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr*Henry Morgeathau, hinted to-day thatthe United States may approach Britainsoon, perhaps next week, for a possiblestabilisation agreement.

The newspaper says':—"We under-stand that the Australians will notreadily play a team captained by Jar-dine, and if England sticks out on thispoint there may bo more trouble. Itmay seem impertinent on the part ofour colonial cousins to seek to dictateo/ir choice of a captain, but it is justpossiblo that such an arrangement hasbeen a clause in the 'peace pact.'

" Walters, captain of Worcestershire,the name on the lips of those in the

dine is willing to forgo tho captaincyand remain in tho team. The factthat he has had two strenuous tourson top of each other would besufficient excuse for relieving him ofhis onerous duties."

BRITISH ARMS POLICY

MEMORANDUM TO POWERS

CONCESSION TO THE GERMANS(Received January SO. 11.25 p.m.)

LONDON, Jan. SOThe Foreign Secretary, Sir John

Simon, announced in tho House of Com-mons to-day that the British Govern-ment will publish a memorandumshortly embodying its views on dis-armament problems.

Sir John said ho had used his holidayon the Continent to renew contactswith M. Chautemps and SI. Paul Bon-cour, of France, and Signor Mussolini.These personal exchanges were of as-sistance in establishing points of agree-ment and clarifying issues.

The British Government had arrivedat a decision that tho time had comewhen it should make known its ownattitude in the present situation, thogravity of which must be apparent toevery thoughtful mind, and should thusmake further positive contributions, sofar as lay in its power, to promoteagreement.

Tho Government accordingly had ex-pressed its views in a memorandum,which had been despatched to its re-presentatives abroad for communicationto the Governments chiefly concernedin the recent negotiations. It was theintention of the Government to pub-lish this memorandum as soon as therehad been opportunity for its considera-tion by those Governments.

The British Government took theview that any questions connected withthe reform of the League of Nationswere secondary to and successive uponthe more immediate and urgent ques-tion of disarmament. As a result of hisdiscussions on the subject with SignorMussolini, he was glad to be able tostate that this view had been confirmedby the Italian Government, and alsoapproved by the French Government.

Signor Mussolini had made it plainthat the object of any proposals hemight hereafter make would be tostrengthen and make more efficient themachinery of the League.

While, therefore, the British Govern-ment had the situation under carefulconsideration, pending the outcome ofits efforts at present being undertakento secure an agreed disarmament con-vention, it was not its intention to takeany steps in the matter.

The Paris correspondent of the Brit-ish United Press reports that Sir JohnSimon's memorandum has > arrived. Itdefinitely favours granting Germanyimmediately defensive armaments to alimited extent. It also states thatBritain wishes to abolish tho testperiod.

It is unofficially reported that Britainsuggests that the strength of theReichswehr be 250,000, thus compromis-ing between the German and Frenchdemands.

PARTY FROM FARTHEST NORTH

NATIVE WELCOME CEREMONY

[by TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL KKPORTUItJWAITANGI, Tuesday

Rough easterly weather, with a highwind and occasional fairly heavy rain,made conditions unpleasant in the campat Ti Point, Waitangi, last night andto-day.

The rain did not cause much concernbecause the camp site is a sandy flat,containing quantities of shell from oldMaori middens and is guaranteed toremain reasonably dry in the wettest,weather. However, the wind provedrather troublesome. Although there waslittle actual damage, much peggingdown had to be done.

The health of the Maoris remains ex-cellent and there are no sick requiringthe services of Dr. Cook, medical officerof health, Whangarei, who is now livingin the camp, or of the two nativenurses who have been detailed for duty.

Northerners OutnumberedA further two hundred people ar-

rived to-day and about three hundredaro duo to-morrow. By Thursday allthe northern natives are expected to bein camp, tho total being about twothousand.

Mr. Tau Hcnp.re, M.P., said to-daythat but for inability to leave dairyherds fully 5000 out of tho 16,000natives in North Auckland would havoattended. As things are, tho northernerswill bo much outnumbered by the 3000representatives of southern tribes.

It is expected tho Native Minister,Sir Apirana Ngata, will arrivo fromAuckland to-morrow evening, bringingthe latest information concerning thesize of tho different tribal delegations,and it will then be possible to allottents to them in advanco. A partyfrom Te Kao, in the extreme north,was welcomed this afternoon with cere-mony, which attracted more than thousual number of onlookers because ofthe long time which had elapsed sincethese people had visited their southernneighbours in any numbers.

Great Good Humour$

In these ceremonies a haka party of20 or more, armed with sticks, formsup in several ranks, attended by twoor more women. A fleet-footed man ischosen to run forward to the visitorsand drop a stick or spear, whereuponhe is chased back to the ranks of hi?fellows by the fastest runner of theother party. Then both sides performhakas in turn and the visitors marchinto the village behind the welcomingparty.

This afternoon speeches of welcomeand replies were added and four or fiveleading men of the camp joined in amourning chant for those who hadpassed away in the years since their lastmeeting with Te Kao people. This didnot prevent the welcome being carriedthrough in great good humour, withmuch banter at times from onlookers.

Religious services morning and even-ing have been a feature of the camplife from the outset. Canon W. H.l£eretone, superintendent of the Angli-can Maori Mission, is assisted by severalof his clergy and there are also MaoriMormon elders in camp. Bishop Ben-nett and the Rev. Robert TahupotikiHaddon, superintendent of the Metho-dist Maori Mission, are expected laterin the week.

CAMPS FOR MOTORISTS

PARTIES ALREADY ARRIVING

DRIVING CARE ESSENTIAL

Already private motorists have beeunto arrive at Waitangi, according to areport received yesterday by tho Auto-mobile Association from its patrol inthe district.

In view of the demand for campingspace, tho Public Works Departmentis making arrangements for motoriststo use the new bridge giving accessto the Waitangi camp, at tho hoursof 10 a.m., noon, and 2. 4, and G p.m.daily, commencing from this momma:,the report said. The bridge will actuallybe opened for general traffic on Satur-day afternoon. The first campers tooccupy tho new camping site will pitchtheir tents shortly after 10 o'clock thismorning. A suitable water supply andconveniences have already been com-pleted, although there is still somelevelling to bo done of additional areasfor camping. Campers will bo able toobtain a variety of requirements at atemporary store that has been erectedon the Waitangi side of the river.

Two Motor CampsIt is reported that fairly heavy book-

ings have been received for spacein both the Waitangi' and tho Paihiamotor camps, and sites aro also in keendemand at Russell, where a new groundhas been opened. Heavy showers, whichfell yesterday, assisted considerably inconsolidating tho new metal on thohighway from Waimate North, and rea-sonable travelling should bo exper-

ienced.Representatives of* the Public Works

Department, tho police, the WaitangiNational Trust Board and tho Auto-mobile Association will confer on Fri-day to finaliso arrangements for thecontrol of traffic and parking. Tho De-partment of Health will also bo rep-

resented at Waitangi.The need for great caution on tho

part of motorists is again emphasisedby tho Automobile Association, as vervheavy traffic is expected over a narrowand winding route with some fairlysteep grades. Tho metalling is of one-car' width only from Waimate Northto Paihia.

Route for Southern Traffic

Improvements have been carried outon the short cut between Pakarakaand Puketona, which reduces the dis-tance to be covered by traffic from Wha-ngarei travelling north, via Kawa-kawa. More work is still needed, bow-ever, before this section of the routewill be really comfortable for lightcars, but as it affords a saving of eichtmiles, and will relieve congestion fromWaimate North, it is generally recom-mended for all traffic from the south.

Special warning notices are beingerected by the Automobile Associationat various points approaching Wai-tangi, and in particular on the lastthree miles from the Waitangi Fallstoward the bay. Care will be essentialon the winding down-hill grade. On theactual days of the ceremony, next Mon-day and Tuesday, the motorists arestrongly recommended not to attemptto negotiate the highway against themain stream of traffic, which will betravelling toward Waitangi in themornings and back in the direction ofWaimate North in the afternoons.

Day Visitors' CarsElaborate arrangements have been

made.for the parking of day visitors'cars. Areas have been set aside adjacentto the junction of the Waitangi Roadand the Paihia main highway, withina convenient distance of the main Maoriencampment.

The settlement of Paihia extendsalong a mile of waterfront, and on ac-count of the number of children run-ning between the residences and thebeach, the Automobile Association willerect special signs advising motoristswho use this section of the road, partof which is onlv of grass formation, toexercise the greatest care, and to travelvery slowly.

*

• A farmhouse will be utilised for adining pavilion at the permanent motor-camp at Waitangi, where the spaceavailable should meet all requirements.The authorities wish it to bo under-stood that no camping will be allowedon open spaces in the vicinity of Wai-tangi, except on the authprised motor-camps at Waitangi and Paihia. Parkingspace for about 800 cars has been allo-cated on the landward side of theMaori camp, and probably onlycampers' cars will be allowed to proceedthrough the camp to the bridge.

BOISTEROUS WEATHERLAUNCHES GO ADRIFT

ONE SLIGHTLY DAMAGED

ORCHARD DISTRICTS ESCAPE

Boisterous north-easterly weather yes-terday buffeted craft on the harbourand caused a number of launches tobecome adrift. With the tide runningout against a fresh breeze, conditionson the harbour were particularly un-pleasant in the morning, and ferryboats received a severe tossing.

At least five launches broke awayfrom their moorings during the morn-ing. One which became adrift near thePonsonby Wharf finally went ashore insome mangroves at the top of the har-bour near To Atatu. It suffered nodamage and as it could not be towedoff owing to the low tide, it was leftthere overnight.

Considerable difficulty was exper-ienced in recovering a launch whichdragged its anchor and lost its rudderin a heavy sea off Milford Beach. Afteran effort had been made to removethe launch from danger under its ownpower without a rudder, a line wasfinally attached to another launch andthe almost helpless craft was taken toa safe anchorage at Bayswater. It wasnot damaged.

Slight damage was suffered by asmall launch which drifted from moor-ings between Central Wharf andQueen's Wharf, and was carried underCentral Wharf. It also was towed tosafety.

Through dragging its anchor fromnear the waterfront road embankmenta small launch was blown ashore. Itwas not damaged and was hauled upout of danger. Another power-boatwhich drifted from Little Shoal Baywas taken in tow and removed to Bays-water. A keel yacht sailing up the har-bour early last evening had its mainsaildouble-reefed and carried no jib.

A sudden gust of wind in the morn-ing broke a glass panel in the front?door of a house at Remuera, but noother damage to buildings has been re-ported. Fruit trees and gardens in thesuburbs, especially those in exposedlocalities, suffered damage, but orchard-ists in the Huapai, Henderson and Ora-tia districts stated last evening thattheir crops had escaped almost entirely,as the majority of orchards were shel-tered. Although stone fruits are in theripening stage, apples; and pears, whichare more easily shaken from the trees,suffered.to a greater extent.

Yesterday's boisterous weather was inmarked contrast to the ideal conditionswhich prevailed on the previous day,when the Anniversary regatta was held.

WELCOME FALLS OF BAIN

A message from Kohukohu statesthat splendid rain was falling in Hoki-anga yesterday. The dry spell had beenprolonged,, many farmers and residents,being almost out of water for domes-tic use. There was a heavy dimunitionin butter-fat production during the pastmonth.

Tauranga reports state that a steadyfall of 55 points of rain yesterday willbe beneficial to swedes and maize cropsbut much more is required for reviv-ing pastures on which growth is shorton account of drying winds for severalweeks past.

Weather conditions in the Whanga-rei district yesterday were most un-pleasant, rain falling throughout theday. The fall up till last evening wasover half an inch. The rain was accom-panied by strong gusts of wind aridthere was every indication of morerain to come. Farmers and householderswill welcome the fall as pastures andgardens had become very dry after thespell of hot weather experienced. How-ever, it is hoped the weather will soonimprove, in vjew of the WhangareiAgricultural and Pastoral Society'sShow, which commences at KensingtonPark to-day when the first North Auck-land championships will be inaugur-ated.

RESERVE BANKRIGHT OP NOTE ISSUE

PROCLAMATION THIS WEEK

OPERATION NEXT AUGUST•i

[by telegraph—OWN correspondent]WELLINGTON, Tuesday

An announcement that the pros-pectus inviting subscriptions of sharecapital of the Reserve Bank of NewZealand will bo made public on Thurs-day and that the list of applicationswill be closed on or before February 15,was made by the Minister of Finance,lit. Hon. J. G. Coates, to-night. Mr.Coates stated that the original capitalof the Reserve Bank would bo £500,000in 100,000 shares of £5 each, whichwero being offered at par for publicsubscription and would be allotted bythe Minister of Finance in terms of thelegislation. Not more than 500 shareswould be allotted to any one person,whether in his own right or on behalfof any other person or > persons, andthe liability of every shareholder wouldbe limited to tho amount, if any, forthe time being unpaid on shares.

Mr. Coates further stated that theholding of in the bank would belimited to British subjects ordinarilyresident in New. Zealand, and theboard of directors would be so con-stituted as to obviate any possibility ofthe directorate being divided by sec-tional interests, thus ensuring theadoption and maintenance of the guid-ing control in the interests of tho Do-minion as a whole.

Tho Minister indicated that he wasvery sanguine of the success of thisinitial effort to raise capital for NewZealand's national institution and thatho was sure the people would respondin great numbers.

A proclamation giving the bank theright of note issue at the expiration ofsix months will probably bo gazettedto-morrow or on Thursday.

The prospectus contains no informa-tion regarding the bank's staff or direc-torate.

The gazetting of the proclamationwill be an important step in the forma-tion of tho Reserve Bank. The pro-clamation fixes the date upon whichthe Reserve Bank shall have the rightto issue banknotes. This date is to benot earlier than six months after thepublication of the proclamation. It fol-lows that if publication is made thisweek the Reserve Bank may be inoperation in August, and probably thatis the intention. From the date uponwhich the Reserve Bank has the rightto issue banknotes the rights of thetrading banks to issue notes ceases. Onthe proclaimed date, or within suchtime thereafter as may bo prescribedby the Governor-General, the tradingbanks must transfer their gold coin orbullion to the Reserve Bank in ex-change for Reserve Bank notes or forcredit with that bank. The notes of thetrading banks are to be gradually re-tired and after the expiry of two yearseach trading bank must pay to the Re-serve Bank an amount equal to thevalue of its then outstanding notes.The liability of the trading banks fortheir notes is then to end and to beassumed by the Reserve Bank.

INVERCARGILL SALE

LARGE OFFERING TO-DAY

TEST OF CROSSBRED VALUES

[bt telegraph—OWN correspondent]• INVERCARGILL, Tuesday

Expectations are for a good wool saleto-morrow and it is anticipated thatprices will remain firm. There will bea full bench of buyers and already thedemand.for admission shows that a bisgallery of onlookers will follow the sale,which has great significance for South-land and the Dominion. The catalogueis the largest ever offered in Invercar-gill, totalling 30,071 bales.

This season's clip is particularlvsound though it is noticeable that thereis not a high percentage of hoecetwool forward. The hogget wool that isoffering is of good quality and is ex-pected to command the attention ofbuyers. In common with other pro-

vinces Southland has fewer youngewes, one of the consequences of thefall in meat prices.It is expected that competition for

the'finer wools will be well maintained,but interest centres chiefly in the cross-bred classes. Peak values for these werereported from the Wellington sale.While it is not expected that these willbe obtained in Invercargill to-mor-row, the condition of tho wool encour-ages the belief that a good return willaccrue to farmers.

TRISTAN DA CUNHAISLANDERS' SIMPLE LIFEConditions of life on the remote

island of Tristan da Cunha are de-scribed by the crew of the research shiuDiscovery 11., which made a call therelasting two days during the presentcommission. Tristan da Cunha is theprincipal island in an isolated groupwhich lies midway between SouthAfrica and South America in the.southern Atlantic.

The climate is mild, with freaueni.rain and the sky is usually, cloudv. Inspite of the peaty soil the inhabitantsmanage to grow good crops of potatoesand thesa form their .principal diet.Grass grows well and supports flocksof sheep and a few oxen and at leasttwo donkej's. What trees there are arestunted and offer no shelter and haveno value as fuel.

Generally, life is almost early Vic-torian. The fashions of the outsideworld are unknown and- the womendresii in woollen garments after thestyle of those of the Scottish fisher-wives. The men dress in an odd assort-ment of garments, with hand-knittedwoollen socks.

In spite of the intermarrying thathas been inevitable the children arobright in their early years, but later,owing to lack of education, become dulland slow intellectually. The womenstill wear their hair long. Socially allthe inhabitants are hospitable, freefrom crime and industrious. Howeveras a reminder of the power of punish-ment there still stands a set of old-fashiioncd stocks.

THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 193410

TRADE PARLEYDOMINION AND AUSTRALIA

FEDERAL MINISTER'S VISIT

BETTER RELATIONS SOUGHT

EMBARGOES ON FRUIT IMPORTS

Matters of importance affecting Aus-tralia and Now Zealand will be dis-cussed with the Government by thoHon. F. H. Stewart, Federal Ministerof Commerce, who arrived by theWanganella from Sydney yesterdav.Mr. Stewart, who is accompanied byMrs. Stewart and their daughter, willrepresent the Commonwealth Govern-ment at the Waitaagi celebrations.

Other members of his party are Mr.J. F. Murphy, assistant secretary ofthe Department of Commerce, Mr. P.Horan. deputy-Comptroller of Tradeand Customs, Mr. E. McKinnon.Director of Plant Quarantine for thoFederal Government, and Mr. E. Hard-ing, Mr. Stewart's private secretary.They will leave by motor-car this morn-ing for Hamilton, and will join theexpress for Wellington this evening atFrankton./' /

Mr. Stewart said yesterday that he'Would discuss with the Governmentprincipally matters that concerned theDepartment of Commerce. He intendedto go into the question of embar-goes on the exchange of certain pro-

ducts between Australia and New Zea-land, and also to discuss the possibilityof the two countries collaborating inexporting primary produce to theUnited Kingdom. It was consideredthat to regulate shipments of butter.

' meat aud fruit, and to spread themover the season, would be beneficialto both countries.

Premature ReportAn announcement that the Federal

Government would relax the embargoon New Zealand apples and pears undercertain circumstances, which was con-tained in a cablegram from Sydneypublished last Saturday, was prema-ture Mr. Stewart, said. Recently, how-ever, there had . been a conference atCanberra concerning the possible re-laxation of the embargoes, and somemodification was probable.

Prior to meeting the GovernmentsMr. Stewart declined to discuss fur-ther his plans for his stay in New Zea-land, but said he hoped that his visitwould result in bringing about a bet-ter understanding between Australiaand New Zealand.

An article published in the SydneyMorning Herald on January 20, deal-ing with Mr. Stewart's visit to NewZealand, stated that while in the Do-minion he would also discuss thedifficulties that had arisen over theAustralian embargo on fresh fruit from.New Zealand, and the New Zea-land embargo on citrus fruits from Aus-tralia. The article stated that beforeMr. Stewart left for New Zealand, hehoped to have the recommendationsof a conference of technical officersfrom the Departments of Health ofthe various Governments, as to whetherthe quarantine regulations should beamended to permit fresh fruit to beimported into Australia from New Zea-land.

Questioa olIt was explained that the embargo

on the importation of New Zealandfresh fruit existed on account of fire-blight in the Dominion. New Zealandhad expressed some doubt as to thebone fides of Australia in the matterof the embargo, and the question reallyat issue was whether the fire-bliehtbacillus was communicable by means ofmarketable fruit. It was hoped thatbefore Mr. Stewart left Australia theposition would have been cleared up

sufficiently to enable him to formulatea policy, which, while safeguardingAustralia's interests, would also reas-sure New Zealand of Australia's bonafides. If the matter could be clearedup, the way should be open for a settle-ment with New Zealand of the difficul-ties arising from its embargo againstthe importation of Australian citrusand other fruit and vegetables. Thisembargo was in force because, it wasclaimed, many citrus-growing districtsin Australia were infected with theMediterranean fruit fly.

Owing to the fact that South Aus-tralia had taken special measures tokeep its citrus districts free from thefruit fly, the embargo had recentlybeen modified to the extent that itaffected importations into New Zea-land from that State. Mr. Stewart'stask in New Zealand would be to givethe Dominion such assurances as wouldresult in the'modification of the em-bargo in relation to'_ imports fromother citrus districts inwas pointed out that as the NewZealand embargo had meant the lossby Australia of trade in fresh fruit,including citrus fruit, of £150,000 an-nually, a, settlement of the variousdifficulties was important from thepoint of view of the fruitgrowers.

Produce for' BritainDiscussions with New Zealand with

regard to the further restrictions onthe importation of Dominion productshad been rendered necessary by theproposals of the British Governmentto impose further restrictions on meat

. imports, and also the possibility that' restrictions wcfuld be applied to daiiy

and other products. This was a matterin which Australia and New Zealandwere both' vitally concerned, and onoof the objects of Mr. Stewart's missionto New Zealand would be to arrive atnn understanding with the Dominionon a joint policy which would be niacinthe, basis of representations to theBritish Government.' The Federal Government had underconsideration plans for the establish-ment of a general marketing policyfor Australian primary products. De-tails of this policy had been com-pleted, although legislation already

x existed for the purpose of dealingwith dried fruits and dairy produce,and it was proposed to introduce sim-ilar legislation this year to deal withthe wheat policy. While in New Zea-land Mr' Stewart would make exten-sive inquiries into the marketing sys-tem in operation in the Dominion.

Subsidised ShippingMr. Stewart's discussions with th<3

Kew Zealand Government on thequestion of shipping would be directedto the possibility of common actionagainst the activities of American sub-sidised shipping, and especially theactivities of the Matson Line, thearticle concluded. Theoretically theNew Zealand Government already haspower under the Customs Act of 190">to take action against the activities orthe Matson Line. A section in thatAct provided that, in cases in winchlegislation was directed against NewZealand shipping by any other coun-try the New Zealand Governmentmight proclaim similar conditions. Inthe event of noil-compliance with suchproclamation, the vessel might beseized and sold. That was the only

' penalty provided.Joint action' by the Federal and

New Zealand Governments on thebasis of the New Zealand Customs Actof 190 S. was, however, unlikely. InNew Zealand Mr. Stewart would eu-

■ &ago in an exchange of views withNew Zealand Ministers as to the bestmeans, of dealing with what was ad-mittedly a most difficult and delicateproblem.

ANTARCTIC RESEARCHWHALE INVESTIGATION

WORK OF THE DISCOVERY

VESSEL REACHES AUCKLAND-

The arrival of the Royal research shipDiscovery TI. at Auckland yesterdaymarked the end of another stage inher work of oceanogrnphieal researchin the whaling waters of the Antarctic.Showing little evidence of her buffetingin the heavy seas of the South PacificOcean, the vessel anchored at noon andlater berthed at the Western Viaduct.The members of the ship's companywere happy at reaching the end of fiveweeks in the uncongenial waters of thesouthern Pacific. Many of them worebeards, but these were removed shortlyafter berthing.

Tlio Discovery 11. left London on herthird commission on October 21. Herfirst port of call was St. Vincent, offthe coast of West Africa, where sheloaded oil and stores. From there shesailed direct to Tristan da Cunha,which lies mid-way between SouthAfrica and South America, where maijand stores were landed for the isolatedcommunity on those remote islands.The voyage was continued to SouthGeorgia and South Shetlands, depend-encies of the Falkland Islands in theSouthern Atlantic, for the Government,of which the research work is beingconducted. The ship reached the packice and then turned northward to theFalkland Islands, calling on her wayat Punta Arenas, in the Straits ofMagellan.

Cruise Along Pack Ice

On December 27 the long voyage toNew Zealand was commenced. Thegreater part of this passage consistedof a zigzag cruise along the edge ofthe Pacific pack-ice and an investiga-tion of the whales and their relationto the distribution of the ice. No landwas seen, only a vast belt of heavypack-ice, which has not been pene-trated by explorers. During this cruisethe Discovery 11. passed close to thespot from which Admiral Byrd hadmade one of his flights a few days pre-viously.

The cruise in the vicinity of the icewas continued as far as the Ross Sea,where the ship set a course for NewZealand. A landfall was made at theEast Cape. During the last 10 days ofthe voyage the ship encountered par-ticularly heavy weather, with a longocean swell, which, in her light condi-tion, made the conditions on board un-comfortable. It is expected that theDiscovery 11. will remain at Aucklanduntil February 10, after which a returnvoyage will be made to the FalklandIslands.

The research work that is beiug doneby the Discovery Committee is on be-half of the Government of the Falk-land Islands and is subsidised by alevy on the whaling industry. It ismainly concerned with the whale popu-lation and its environment in theAntarctic. Investigations are made re-garding the occurrence of whale feed,a small shrimp-like animal, and, inci-dentally, with the other minute seaforms which in their turn provide thefood for the whale feed. These are de-pendent on the nutritive salt in th&water.

Personnel of the VesselAt frequent intervals water samples

are taken at different depths by meansof an ingenious arrangement of waterbottles, and fine-meshed nets enablethe scientific staff to collect the minuteforms of life. In addition, by means ofthe latest sound-ranging apparatus, theocean depths are ascertained accur-ately. The data collected is consoli-dated at the end of each commissionand for this purpose scientists pre em-ployed in England.

The vessel carries a ship's company of51 all, told, and is commanded by Cap-tain A. L. Nelson, who was navigatingofficer on her previous commission. Herofficers are:—Lieutenant L. C. Hill,R.N.R. (chief officer); Lieutenant R.Walker, R-N-R. (second officer); Sub-Lieutenant H. Kirkwood, R.N.R.(third officer); Mr. T. H. B. Oates(extra third officer); Engineer Lieu-tenant-Commander W. A. Horton, R.N.(retired), (chief engineer); Mr. A. N.Porteous (second engineer); Mr. R. G.Gourlay (third engineer); Dr. J. APurser (surgeon). The scientific staffconsists of Dr. N. A. Mackintosh(chief scientific officer). Mr. H. F. P.Herdman, Mr. A. J. Clowes and Mr.T. .T. Hart.

The Discovery 11. visited Auckland in1932, when she refitted hero. On thiscommission the refit will be done atCapetown

NEITHER OPPOSED NOR VOTED

[irr TI'XKGItAPH J'RKSS ASSOCIATION]WELLINGTON, Tuesday

Replying to Mrs. McGeorge's letterto the presidents of the Plunket Societybranches, Mrs. Brown, the president ofthe Wellington branch, says she doesnot dispute that the motion was carriedunanimously, in that there was no op-position to it, but states emphaticallythat she did not vote at all.

Long before the matter was an-nounced to the public, and a fortnightbefore Miss Pattrick • was given anultimatum, she says, she wrote to Mrs.McGeorge as follows: —"I have felt very

confused ever since the council meet-ing, and I feel it is due to you andthe central executive in Dunedin to tellyou all my viewpoint. Perhaps youwould notice that I did not actually\'ote on the question."

Mrs. Brown said that she was goingto make a full explanation of notvoting at the conference in February,which seemed to her to be the rightand proper place to discuss the prosand cons of the matter■

SOCIAL CREDIT

MAJOR DOUGLAS' VISIT

IDEALS OF MOVEMENT

RECEPTION IN AUCKLAND

The founder of the Douglas socialcredit movement, Major C. H. Douglas,arrived from Sydney by the Wa.nga-nella yesterday. He was greeted at thewharf by a large number of supportersand at a public reception tenderedto him at noon the concert cham-ber of the Town Hall was quitefilled. Later Major and Mrs.Douglas were entertained at a luncheonin Milne and Choyce's Reception Hall,where a large gathering heard a briefaddress from Major Douglas.

The singing of " For He's a JollyGood Follow " welcomed Major Douglasat the public reception. Mr. H. G. R.Mason, M.P. for Auckland Suburbs,presided, other members of Parliamentpresent being Messrs. H. M. Rush-worth, J. A. Lee, A. S. Richardsand A. J. Stallworthy.

In introducing Major Douglas, Mr.Mason said no name was more widelyknown and honoured and respected thanthat of Major Douglas. Mr. J. A. C.Allum and Mr. Rushworth also wel-comed the guest of honour, saying thatmuch for the good of the country washoped for from his visit.

Spread of the MovementMajor Douglas, in the course of his

reply, criticised the banking system,and said it was a stupid thing that insuch a wonderful country as New Zea-land a large proportion of the peopleshould be indigent. The movement withwhich he was associated was doing itsbest to deal with the stupidity thatopposed all reform, and no suggestedreform had ever spread over the worldso quickly as this had done.

The complimentary luncheon wasalso presided over by Mr. Mason, andwith the guests of honour at the toptable were Mr. H. M. Rushworth, Mr.J. A. C. Allum and Sir G. Richardson.Among others present were Mr. M. J.Savage, Leader of the Opposition, Mr.W. J. Jordan, Mr. A. J. Stallworthyand Mr. A. S. Richards, M.P.'s.Ladies were in the majority in thegathering.

Mr. Mason elicited applause for ex-pressing the conviction that New Zea-land above all others was the onecountry where social credit should firstbe put into operation.

Major Douglas spoke of idealism,which he said was a word capable of agreat many very subtle interpretations.I do not think it js unfair to saythat many of the greatest tragedieswhich the world has experienced havecome from idealism," he said.

Idealism is the first reaching outin many cases of an immature humanmind, and the first idea associatedwith a certain type of idealism is thatthe idealist has received some sort ofinspiration from heaven as to whatis the perfect world."

People With " Plans "

The trouble was that the idealistusually thought he had discovered theperfect world, not only for himself butfor everybody else, and he devoted thewhole of his energies to imposing thatperfect world upon everybody else.Great Britain was suffering at the pre-sent time from what social credit peoplecalled planitis." People who had neverhad anything at all to do with runningany kind of business all wanted to planthe country and put everybody in theirplaces. It could not be done. The worldwas an outgrowing organism. In op-position to these their Utopias socialcredit people wanted to put everybodyin a position to construct their ownUtopias. They said: " Here are yourbricKs and mortar and supplies. Doyour own building."" We do not believe in the funda-

mental soundness of the doctrine oforiginal sin," said Major Douglas. "Webelieve quite firmly that it is possibleto place the facilities of science andorganisation and all that we call cul-tural inheritance at the disposal of theindividual so that he can develop uponhis own individual lines, and so he willbe in the best position to contribute tothe joint stock of improvement."

An Illusory FearWhat was necessary to free peoplefrom their troubles and afflictions was

room. " Give people room to work,"he said. " Take from them the fear ofstarvation, which is an illusory fear, forthere is no such thine as poverty inthe world at the present time, so faras the physical side is concerned."There was plenty of material of allkinds to keep every individual in com-fort and security. The object of socialcredit was to use these facilities so asto give individual freedom such as hadnever been experienced before.

Major and Mrs. Douglas are accom-panied by an old friend, Mr. .T. H.Davis, who is a consulting engineer ofMelbourne, Mr. Barclay Smith, editor ofthe New Era, Mrs. L. Gapp, who repre-sents the New South Wales and Queens-land sections of the social credit move-ment and Mrs. M A. Wright, who re-presents the movement in South Austra-lia. They left by the limited express lastevening for Pahnerston North, whereMajor Douglas will attend the confer-ence of the movement that is being heldat Ashhurst. He plans to sjxmd sixweeks in New Zealand visiting most ofthe main centres, and will probably re-turn to Auckland in a day or two. Heis partly on a health tour.

CROWN LANDS RATES

VEXED PROBLEM DISCUSSED

DEPUTATION TO MINISTER

LIABILITY NOT ADMITTED

[BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT]TE KUITI, Tuesday

A deputation from the WaitomoCounty Council regarding the paymentof rates on Small Farm Settlementareas was received here last night bythe Minister of Lands, Hon. E. A. Ran-som. The deputation was introduced byMr. W. J. Brondfoot, M.P.

Mr. W. A. lice, county chairman,said that to open up the district forsettlement a large road mileage hadbeen metalled, necessitating numerousspecial loans. Other loans raised leftthe county with an antecedent liabilityof £19,000. The county had now £26,000arrears in rates. Of this amount allbut £IOOO was on land in which theState Advances Department was mort-gagee. Judgment had been securedagainst the occupiers, who, owing tolow prices, were unable to pay, and thecounty did not desire to make thembankrupt. The position had alreadybeen placed before the department with-out obtaining relief. It was impossiblefor the county to continue carryingthis burden.

Mr. R. W. Neal said the council wasmuch perturbed concerning the ratesdue on the small farm settlementschemes. No rates had been paid dur-ing the period of development. Noofficial advice had been received regard-ing settlers on these schemes.

Remarks by the MinisterThe Minister asked if the rates were

paid previous to the Crown's acquisi-tion.

Mr. Lee: Yes, promptly every year,and we wish the Crown to pay the ratesnow due.

Mr. Ransom, replying, said the rat-ing question was the most serious liabil-ity resting on the settlers. It waswrong, however, to remove the burdenby placing it on other shoulders. If theCrown was forced to carry the responsi-bility it meant further taxation for thecity dweller. A way must be foundwhich would relieve hardship on all.

As far as special rates are concerned,the position was plain, continued theMinister. On acquiring the ownershipof a property by ordinary purchase, orbuying in exercise of powers of salethe Crown became liable to pay specialrates charged on the land at the timeof such acquisition. The payment ofordinary rates was contrary to the pre-sent law. The Crown subsidised ratesand in this way considered it relievedthe burden of payment. Regarding thesuggestion that rates should be paidduring the progress of development,the Minister said he considered it quitewrong.

Fees from GrazingMr. C. K. Wilson asked if the Min-

ister would allow the land to be grazedto meet the .rates, to which the Min-ister replied that this must go to meetother commitments.

Mr. Wilson: Then it is priority,such as we are meeting in other cases.

Mr. Ransom: If you insist on that,gentlemen, I will go out of the districtand refuse to develop, except in coun-ties where they will not press for rates.

Following a remark from Mr. Neal,the Minister asked: "Have you nofaith in these small farm settlers thatthey can pay rates?"

Mr. Neal: Not at the. present pricefor butter-fat.

The Minister: You are very pessimis-tic. Sheep farmers felt the'same lastyear, but they are not feeling like thatto-day.

Mr. Neal said, as chairman of a dairycompany, he knew of many cases wherethe State Advances Department hadorders on a third of the dairy cheque,and the settler's wife and family werehardly able to exist.

The Minister said that the deputa-tion could rest assured that the specialrate would be paid and that where thefull amount of interest due was col-lected, an allocation would be madetoward the general rate.

Mr. Lee said it would appear thatthe county would have to continue pay-ing uncollected balances of interest outof the general account, which was quitewrong.

PUMICE COUNTRY

ROTORUA-TAUrO AREA

PROSPECTS FOR SETTLEMENT

CONFIDENCE IN SUCCESS

A bright future for the settlement ofunemployed on the pumice lands of theRotorua-Taupo country is predicted bythe Hon. C. J. Carrington, M.L.C.,who stated yesterday that, as a resultof a careful inspection of that dis-trict, he had every reason to placethose lands on a par with those ofNorth Auckland.

"I have just returned from an ex-tensive tour of the Rotorua-Taupo pum-ice lands," said Mr. Carrington, "andmy personal observations have causedme to change my previous opinion re-garding the possibilities of an im-mense portion of this great expanse ofcountry for successful land developmenton sound lines. I am now definitely ofthe opinion that, next to North Auck-land, no part of Now Zealand presentsa better opportunity for land settle-ment than the better class pumicecountry. Thousands of acres await de-velopment."

An inspection of the Horohoro andNgakura blocks three years ago wasrecalled by Mr. Carrington. It wasthen a desolate expanse of waste pum-ice land, covered with the indigenousgrowth of stunted manuka scrub, tus-sock and lichen, with self-sown pineshere and there. He returned to Auck-land convinced that the settlers couldnever make good oil that class of coun-try. On his recent visit he saw anastounding transformation. Largeareas of the Horohoro block wereunder grass and clover, and there weroMaori settlers with milking herdsestablished under the Native land de-velopment scheme. At Ngakura similardevelopmental work was being carriedout successfully.

The demonstration farm of 90 acresin the centre of the Land Department'sblock was a model that could becopied with advantage by all dairyfarmers on small areas.

The policy of the department hadbeen to prepare the farm and put onsharemilkers, who would eventuallybecome settlers if proved suitable. TheJersey cattle were in excellent condi-tion, and there was no sign of bushsickness. A competent judge estimatedthe cost of the fully-improved demon-stration farm at not more than £2Oan acre, without the stock. withthe present price of butter-fat, Mr.Carrington was of the opinion thatfarming would be a profitable proposi-tion on that land.

On the gift block of Mr. E. E. Vaile,the Lands Department had made agood start with the preparation of theland. The cost of development waslimited to the price of materials, as theunemployment grant was being usedto pay for the labour.

There were still thousands of acresof land awaiting development, andmost of it could be purchased for be-tween 30s and 50s an acre. All thatwas needed was subdivisional roads togive access to the main road. On Mr.Vaile s farm he saw a fine crop of Dunoats, and Hereford cattle that wereequal to those of Southland.

UNIVERSITY CONTROL

INDEPENDENCE ESSENTIAL

FEDERAL SYSTEM DISCUSSED[BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT]

DUNEDIN, Tuesday

The T.Diversity of Otago lias latelybeen the subject of interested and Criti-cal study by Sir John McFarland,Chancellor of the Melbourne University,who is at present visiting the Dominionon holiday.

Speaking of the medical school, hesaid the ordinary sot of formal lectureswould soon be a thing of the past ex-cept, of course, in the cash of a speciallybrilliant or inspired lecturer. The placeof lectures in the curriculum must betaken more and more by clinical train-ing and instruction.

Sir John said that he had not beenable to glean very much exact informa-tion concerning the administration ofthe University of New Zealand, and forthat reason lie was diffident about com-menting on the Dominion system. Hewould.say, however, that he was a firmbeliever in the autonomy of the univer-sity as an educational unit. The lessinterference there was with it by theGovernemnt or any outside organisa-tions or interests, the better it wouldbe for the university and for the com-munity.

The controlling body of any univer-sity must be largely academic. By thathe did not mean that the staff shouldhave too much to say in matters finan-cial, but in all other matters the con-trol should rest in academic hands.

No doubt the position in New Zealandwas complicated to some extent by theexistence of four constituent collegescomprising a single university, but eventhat should not represent an insuper-able difficulty.

Sir John said he had had a good dealto do with a somewhat similar com-bination of colleges in Ireland manyyears ago when Belfast, Galway andCork University College suffered frommuch the same disadvantages and diffi-culties which beset the New Zealanduniversity. As time went 011 it wasfound that something must be done ifthe various institutions were to func-tion at their best. It was not possibleto form separate universities at eachcollege, but Belfast assumed an iden-tity of its own, and suitable arrange-ments were made with respect to Gal-way and Cork, it took a long time, butthe problem was finally solved.

GAME OF FAN-TAN

CHINESE FINED £25

QUESTION OF APPEAL

A denial that he was in any way

connected with the management of thepremises was made by a laundryman,Ying Wong, aged 38, who was charged

in the Police Court yesterday withusing premises in Grey's Avenue as acommon gaming house. The case againstYing was the last of a series heaidagainst 19 Chinese who were arrestedin a police raid on January 21. Accused,who was represented by Mr. Tong,pleaded not guilty.

Detective-Sergeant McHugh, givingevidence, said he had charge of theraid. At the time the police partyentered the room, the accused was incharge of a game of fan-tan. He wasstanding at the head of the table, infront of the apparaus used in the play-ing of the game. A sum of £1 16s was

on the table, arranged around a squareof lead which formed a part of thegambling system. The accused later de-manded this money as his property.

In reply to Mr. Tong, witness ad-mitted there were two other Chinesestanding at the head of the table, andone of these, charged with being foundon the premises, had not made anappearance in Court at the time ofhearing the other cases, and had for-feited his bail.

Mr. Tong said it was admitted thataccused was at the head of the table,but he was there only as a player ofthe game. On a point of law, Mr. longclaimed that even assuming the asser-tions of the police were true, it wouldbe necessary, in order to secure a con-viction, to prove that the accused wasthe definite occupier of the premises,and had localised a system of gaming

for his own profit. One isolated occasionwould not prove the charge accordingto the section under which it was laid.

Several Chinese who were present atthe time of the raid stated in evidencethat accused was not connected withthe conduct of the "bank," but wasniefelv a plaver.

"The evidence for the defence doesnot convince me," said Mr. WyvornWilson, S.M., in entering a conviction."Since this is apparently his first a|>-poaranee in the Court, however, I shallimpose a fine of only £25, in defaultone month's imprisonment." In reply toa request from Mr. Tong. the magis-trate fixed security for appeal at £35.

MEMORIES OF MARSDENMISSIONARY'S JOURNALS

OLD ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS

ARRIVAL FROM AUSTRALIA

A collection of manuscripts writtenby the hand of the Rev. SamueJ Mars-den was brought to Auckland yester-day by Mr. Eric Ramsden, of Sydney,who arrived by the Wanganella. Themanuscripts, which ar© owned by oneof Mr. Marsden's descendants, were

entrusted to Mr. Ramsden so that he

might show them to the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, and membersof the Waitangi National Trust.

Mr. Ramsden, who is a member ofthe Polynesian Society and the RoyalAustralian Historical Society, said theowner of the documents was anxious,for reasons of sentiment, that theyshould find a resting place in New Zea-land. They included the original Jour-nal of the Sixth Voyage in 1830. Thejournal was compiled during Mr. Mars-den's visit to New Zealand in that yearand was in perfect condition. Otherdocuments included deeds relating tothe brig Active, dated Juns 11, 1812,and February 11, 1814.

Notes on the "Government of NewZealand," was a document of historicvalue written by Mr. Marsden on thereturn voyage from England to PortJackson in 1810. Other papers includeda copy of the journal of the first voy-age to New Zealand in 1814, probablywritten by one of Mr. Marsden'sdaughters, but it was corrected in themissionary's own hand.

The famous first sermon deliveredat the Bay of Islands was the subjectof a page written by Mr. Marsden laterin life. The note was incomplete, butit stated:—"I never felt more happi-ness and joy than when I viewed thedelighted countenances of those poorheathens on the Gospel for the firsttime being preached to them."

Mr. Ramsden said the Pratt letters,about 30 in number, were under offerto the Hocken Library, Dunedin, andfor that reason he did not bring themwith him. As they referred particularlyto New Zealand it would be unfortun-ate if they did not come to the Do-minion. He was compiling a book re-lating to Samuel Marsden's last jour-ney, in 1837, and in it he hoped topublish the Yates series of letters, to-gether with new extracts from thejournal of Martha Marsden.

The Hawke and Shepherd journalshad been purchased by the MitchellLibrary, although he had done whathe could to secure them for New Zea-land. There were many illustrationsand documents in Sydney that mightwell be copied and the copies ob-tained for the museum to be estab-lished in the Treaty House at Wai-tangi.

EXPORT OF FLAX PLANTS

OBJECTION IN MANAWATU

CHEAP LABOUR COMPETITION[BY TET.EGBAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION]

PALMERSTON NORTH, Tuesday

In view of the fact that 40,000 NewZealand flax plants are to "be shippedto Japan from the Waikato, and afurther 10,000 plants are expected togo later, strong representations arebeing made that the Government shouldimmediately prevent the export of theplants or seed.

The commercial possibility of NewZealand fibre being exported has longbeen recognised by experts in overseascountries and in spite of the repeated•efforts of the New Zealand Flaxmillers'Association to induce the Governmentto take action, immense quantities ofboth fibre and seed have been exportedfrom time to time.It is not generally known that plant's

of phormium tenax are already estab-lished in certain overseas countries.Action to prevent their export is con-sidered long overdue, and it is statedthat unless drastic action is taken bythe Government the New Zealand in-dustry will be faced with serious com-petition from overseas countries em-ploying cheap coloured labour.

When asked if he had anything tosay, Alexander Simpson said he was arelief worker, and was a married manwith two children.

"Relief workers are on the same foot-ing as other members of the community—they are not allowed to live bycrime," said Mr. W.vvern Wilson, S.M.,in imposing a fine of £2o on each ac-cused, in default one month's imprison-ment. Time to pay was not allowed.

We must notthink the world is 'out of the wood.'Australia and South and East Africaare emerging. Britain is the one coun-try of the world that is really ont.but we need still to bo very careful.

"I do not think any action byAmerica will disturb our sterling posi-tion materially,. The position of affairsin America is no uncertain, but it hasbeen so for so long that, had therebeen any danger of its affecting, thesterling position, it would have shownitself before.

Empire aind Foreign Trade

"Trade within the Empire must bethe bulwark for the trade of each

country in the Empire—a sheet anchor—but we cannot shut out the rest ofthe world. Only 48 per cent of Britain'strade is within the Empire and wemust not shut, out the other 52 per

cent."Sir John said he had already visited

East and South Africa and Australia.He had been busy making known whatwas going on in the Empire andin Britain, in ispeaking of the recovervand the lessons to be learned from it.He would do the same in New Zealand.Lady Allen, who accompanies him. hasalso been a keen Empire worker andhad given addresses to women's organi-sations in Africa and Australia.

EXCHANGE OF TEACHERS

NEW ZEALANDER AT HOME

' USEFUL EXPERIENCES[from otra own correspondent!

LONDON, Dec. 20Miss Faith Bennett, of Nelson, who

lias spent a yeas in England under theexchange of teachers' scheme, is sailingby the Moldavia on December 29 on herWay home. Her stay in the Home Coun-try has been full of interest and sheSpeaks highly of the facilities affordedher to extend her knowledge and widenher sympathies."I am convinced," Miss Bennett said,

"that the system of exchange ofteachers .throughout the Empire is ad-vantageous, not solely from a scholasticpoint, of, view, but also because of thecontacts one. makes with many peoplesand the general broadening influencethis has upon one's sympathies and un-derstanding. This exchange system must.also prove a big factor, in welding ourEmpire together, for no New Zealander,or one born of British stock, cansojourn here without becoming increas-ingly aware of the fact that one's rootsare in this 'Homeland.'

"Hero in beautiful Britain a bornNew Zealander finds an uniinagined kin-ship with her people, their customs,traditions and the national ideals andinstitutions. There is no forced loyaltyto these things. All that one has ab-sorbed in New Zealand through earlyinfluences and education is wonderfullystrengthened and corroborated by one'sexperiences in the Motherland. "I havetravelled in England, Scotland, Irelandand Wale3, and have everywhere foundthat New Zealand' holds a high place inthe hearts of your people here./ f'Educationally I have received every

facility to make the most of the varioustvpes of education presented. In Nolson(Lancashire) it has been my privilege

■to teach during the first year of the re-organisation of schools, according to theHaddow plan. In Lancashire and Lon-don I have visited all types of schoolsfrom the nursery school, infant, junior,senior, to the central schools. In Nelsonitself I have had three months' mostvaluable experience .in a thoroughlyequipped open-air school, where thechildren are fed, bathed and have medi-cal attention as well. Thus have I see.nhow the English people are tackling thisproblem of making the nation fit.

"Everywhere among my colleagues inEngland have I found a willingness toco-operate in making my visit mostvaluable to me. Although in environ-ment and experience nothing could bo agreater contrast.to Nelson in Now Zea-land than this cotton manufacturingcentre, - set amid its wide moors, andwithin easy distance of lovely villages,I shall leave these, responsivo Lan-cashire children and hospitable Lan-cashire folk with infinite regret."

NEW ZEALAND TOURMELBOURNE . LORD MAYOR

MONTH IN DOMINION

CENTENARY PUBLICITY[rjJOil OUR OWN COJUIESrONRHM'I

SYDNEY, Jan. 25Although the news that Prince

George would visit Australia was wellreceived generally it must havo givengreater satisfaction to tho MelbourneCentenary Celebrations Committee thanto any othor organisation. Arrange-ments aro being mado for a most elab-orate programmo, and ' until, a fewweeks ago there were . serious doubtswhether this would bo attended withtho success that was anticipated.

It was feared that little petty rival-ries were not working for tho com-mon good, and the apparent apathy ofthe general public was one of thothings which caused tho organisers con-siderable anxiety. Now that the Princewill bo present at the chief functions*it is felt that the celebrations will bea success, and tho committee makesno secret of the fact that a greatweight has been lifted from the mindsof members.

At the same timo the committee isnot going to leave anything to chance.Melbourne people have been disap-pointed at tho lack of interest in theircelebrations by tho people of tho otherStates. Sydney and Melbourne are tra-ditional rivals, and ono is alwayscredited with being jealous of the other.For instance, one Sydney journal, witha liking for historical facts, allegedthat Melbourne was several years latein celebrating its centenary, and wasinclined to ridicule the plans that hadbeen made.

Success of Financial AppealThe failure of the Melbourne people

to respond as readily as desired totho appeal for financial assistance hasalso been given undue prominence _inother States. The appeal is meetingwith more success now, and it wouldi«em that the committee • will have•vmple. funds for its needs. It is par-ticularly desired that the expenditureshould not be on a niggardly scale, asMelbourne is most anxious to impressvisitors.

In the circumstances it is not sur-prising that tho committee shouldplan what are called publicity toursof the other States and of New Zea-land. The proposal was made this weekthat the delegate to the Dominionshould, bo none other than the LordMayor, Dr. Gengoult Smith, and itis hoped that he will be able to sail onthe Monowai on January 31' and spenda month in Wellington, Auckland,Christchurch, Dunedin and other im-portant centres. He may be accom-panied by the deputy-organiser of theCentenary Council, Mr. C. B. Nichol-son, who will organise special commit-tees to advance centenary propagandain the Dominion.

Recent Visitor's RemarksThe suggestion that the Lord

Mayor should visit New Zealand wasmade by Mr. Nettlefold, a member ofthe City Council and of the CentenaryCouncil, who recently toured the Do-minion. The idea met with instant sup-port. Discussing tli© proposal, Mr.Nettlefold said that on his return fromNew Zealand he suggested that anorganiser should tour the Dominion be-cause he was greatly impressed withtho immense possibilities of drawingcentenary visitors to Victoria. ThoLord Mayor's official position, person-ality and businesslike methods wouldcommand great attention, and would doa great amount of good in advertisingthe centenary.

EMPIRE'S REMOTE SPOT

ASPIRATIONS IN HONDURAS

COMPLAINTS OF NEGLECT

[from our own correspondent]VANCOUVER, Jan. 2

There is a growing restlessness inBritish Honduras at the peisistentthought that the most remote ofBritain's mid-America possessions isbeing neglected. With this thoughtcomes the growing conviction that Hon-durans should have a closer ac-quaintance with Canada, for mutualtrade benefits and a tropical playgroundfor Canadians in winter.

Belize, the capital, is restless at thoslow recognition given its rich hinter-land products—mahogany, chicle (rawmaterial for chewing gum), copra,bananas, pineapples, and logwood—-while it reads of new sources of Em-pire influence being developed in theproposed Leeward Islands dominion,and of the impetus tho Motherland i3giving to East African colonies.

With the decline in mahogany, andthe lessened demand for logwood,owing to the use of synthetic d.ves,British Honduras must develop in otherways. It needs advice and help in in-vestigating and developing new ele-ments of progress. While Britain ap-

pears unsympathetic, Canada hasalready done much and may do more.When they think of progress, Hon-durans look enviously at Canada.

Tropical agriculture offers the bestopportunity for future expansion. Of-ficial investigations point to citrusfruits, especially grapefruit, bananas,yams, and pineapples, as offeringlimitloss scope of development. AtStann Creek Valley, a few whitesettlers are growing grapo-fruit that issuperior to the famous Florida pro-duct. But Hondurans are not farmers.They are woodsmen, whose craft cameto them from the buccaneers. The first,recorded English buccaneer, one Cap-tain James, captured a Spanish vesselabout the middle of the seventeenthcentury, and found to his #disgust thatit was loaded, not with treasure, buttimber. However, he took it to Lon-don and was agreeably surprised whenthe cax-go fetched £IOO a ton.

English ships were fitted out to preyon the Spanish logwood trade, but it-became easier to cut tho logwood thanto steal it. A new tasto for diningrnoin furniture in England built upthe mahogany trade. Of these old buc-caneers, one of tho toughest was Cap-tain Wallis, who, with his crew of 80,frequently beat the Spaniards as theypursued him among the hundreds ofcays, or coral isles, that dot the coast.The Spaniards gave his name to thesettlement. From Wallis, unpro-nounceable in their tongue, it becameValizc, then Belizo.

After 150 years of guerilla fightingat sea, the Spanish Governor of Yuca-tan, in 1706, while England and Spainwere at war, laid his plans to drive theBritish out. After two years of pre-paration, he attacked St. George's Cay.His fleet comprised 31 ships, carrying2500 troops and s;iilors. DefendingBelize were the sloop Merlin, with 50men; four small local vessels, each with25 men; seven rafts, each carrying anine-pounder gun, and 25 men —a totalBritish force of 350 men.

The battle started in early after-noon; three hours of hand-to-handfighting resulted in an overwhelmingvictory lor tho English settlers. To thisday a national holiday commemoratesthe Battle of St. George's Cay, one ofthe. most glorious feats of arms inBritish colonial history.

FORGERY CHARGESNEGOTIATION OF LOANS

INSURANCE POLICY

ACCUSED PLEADS NOT GUILTY

Two charges of forgery and twocharges . ol: false representation worelaid in the Police Court yesterdayagainst John Briton Clark, carpenter,aged 35. Clark, who was representedby Mr. Noble, pleaded not guilty to alltbo charges.

Accused was charged with obtaining£lO from Aquilla Wilson on November20 by falsely representing that ho wasHarry McWilliams, a carpenter em-ployed at the Otahuhu railway work-shops, with forging a proposal for lifeassurance purporting to be signed byH. McWilliams. on November 21, andwith forging un authority on Novem-ber 21 for 13s 3d on wages, purportingto bo signed by H. McWilliams. Hewas further charged with obtaining £lOfrom Sidney William Wood on Decem-ber 4 by falsely representing that hewas Frasor Hudson Webberley and thathe was a carpenter employed by theRailway Department.

Aquilla Wilson gave evidence thati ho was a registered moneylender andalso held an agency for tho Govern-ment Life Insurance Office. On Novem-ber 20 accused called at his ofiice, giv-ing the name of Harry McWilliams, of105 Parnell Road. Ho said ho was acarpenter employed at the Otahuhuworkshops and asked for a loan of £lO,to be secured by an order on hiswages. Witness replied that ho did notlend money on wages, but he did oninsurance policies.

Commission and Profit"I may have said that if accused

took out a policy, I might considerlending him £10," witness said. "Ac-cused agreed to take out a policy, andI made out a proposal for a £3OOpolicy, which ho signed with tho nameof Harry McWilliams." Continuing, thewitness said accused had also signed anauthority form for 13s 3d to bo de-ducted out of wages at four-weeklyperiods for premium payments. Wit-ness then advanced tho £lO on theunderstanding that if accused failed tomako tho repayments, witness wouldbe able to collect tho money from hispay at tho workshops. Accused alsosigned a promissory not© for £l4, cov-ering principal and interest, under thenaino of H. McWilliams.

In reply to Mr. Noble, witness saidho would havo received a £3 commis-sion on the policy and also a profit of£4 on tho loan if the affair had "turnedout all right." It was tho first trans-action of its typo that witness hadhandled. In other cases, there were lifeinsurance policies in existence.

Second Alleged LoanSidney William Wood, accountant

and moneylender, sc.id accused visitedhis office on December 4 and negotiatedfor a loan of £lO. Accused said liisname was Webberley and that be wasemployed as a carpenter at the railwayworkshops. Ho was lent thogiving as security two orders for10s for capital and interest, onWebberley's. wages at. a fortnight's anda month's intervals. Accused had seenwitness three times after securing theloans and had asked for further timefor repayment.

Fraser Hudson Webberley gave evi-dence that he had known accused, butaccused had no authority to use hisname.

Accused pleaded not guilty to bothcharges and was committed to theSupreme Court for trial, no bail beingallowed.

LATIN IN SCHOOL

HEADMASTER'S VIEWS

"LEAVE IT A LITTLE LONGER "

' [from our ownLONDON, Dec. 23

Dr. Cyril Norwood, the headmasterof Harrow, who was recently appointedpresident of St. John's College, Oxford,spoke at the Conference of the Incorpor-ated Association of Preparatory Schoolson the place of Latin in schools.

"At the end of my life as a teacher,"Mr. Norwood said, "I am convincedthat it is personality that counts al-ways and all the time. The question isasked—and it has to bo answered intho next ten years in view of thoneeds of the modern world—what bet-ter uso can be made of the 1500 Latinlessons which the average boy receives

, during his time at school?"It is said it is all very well to ta.lk

about tho grand old fortifying classicalcurriculum, but is it not time that that

| bluff was called? It will bo argued thatsome knowledge of Latin is fundamen-tal for an educated man, and for aproper understanding of English,French, Italian and Spanish. The oldclassical teaching is a magnificent in-strument in the hands of a trainedmaster. I ask myself, does Latin makeyou think? And I say, Yes, it does.

"I also ask: Can you possibly doLatin without thinking, and theanswer is: Emphatically no. I also ask,Is there any other subject which canbo substituted for Latin in the curri-culum and do the same work. I thinknot. I believe it is, rightly handled, amagnificent instrument for trainingand testing.

"This question of Latin is a part,and only a part, of what I think i3tho most important educational ques-tion that is now before the country.It is a question which is now engag-ing tho attention of the ConsultativeCommittee of the Board of Education —

the question of what is the right edu-cation to give pupils between' the agesof eleven and sixteen and a-half, whosoeducation is not to be continued be-yond that point. Are we giving theright education at the present time?I am pretty certain that we are not.

"J. would give a boy, first, a soundeducation ba;?ed on English culture,English geography, English history,and English literature, less mathe-matics, a different kind of science, andI would not attempt to teach himmore than one foreign language. Iwould also try to give him a thoroughphysical education, and a thoroughtraining of the hand, eye, and ear; andI would seek to make that as import-ant as his literary education.

"In a boy's last years at school 1would seek to build on the foundationalready set some understanding of themodern world. Why it is, what it is,how it works, and what his place is init. In that education I do not thinkthere will be room or time for Latin,but at present we have not formulatedanything like that. It is still an ideal.

"I. hold that the school certificatenow dominating the schools is itselfdominated by educational ideas whichare obsolescent. I do not believe thatyou will be wise to expel Latin fromthe general curriculum. But until greatchanges in our educational curriculumare realised and near at hand I wouldadvise vou. to leave Latin for a littlelonger in its privileged position."

SCHOOLBOYS ABROAD

NEW ZEALANDERS' TOUR

VISIT TO AUSTRALIA

FINE RECEPTION GIVEN"The tour of Australia by New

Zealand schoolboys this year was asuccess in every way," said Mr. T.A. Lappin, of the staff of Kiug's Col-lege, who returned to Auckland yes-terday after conducting the party ofboys upon their visit. Mr. A. H. Hunt,also of King's College, assisted Mr.Lappin in supervising the party, whichreturned by the Ma.rama, arriving atWellington on Monday.

Mr. Lappin said he felt the boyshad received bonefit from the lessonsof the tour." The principal losson was,of course, gaining a &inception ofwhat the Empire meant, and the spiritof co-operation and friendship, whichwas an essential of the British com-monwealth of nations, was well em-phasised by the fine reception the boysreceived everywhere. At the FederalParliament buildings in Canberra theywere welcomed on behalf of theFederal Government by a Cabinet Min-ister, Mr. Perkins, who spoke of thevalue of the tour in creating a betterunderstanding between Australia andNew Zealand. In Melbouino, the boyswere received by the Lord Mayor,and, on other occasions, they were metby local authority and business leaders.

"I think all the boys realised deeplythe bonds between New Zealand andAustralia," continued Mr. Lappin."There was an instance at the Churchof St. Matthew, Manly, where, duringan official service for tho boys, thevicar, the Rev. A. 11. Ebbs, preachedon the story of Samuel Marsden andthe missionary's connection with bothAustralia and New Zealand. At thatsorvico, the boys marched behind thochoir to special seats, and Mr. Huntand I read the lessons. A highly satis-factory circumstance of tho tour wasthe favourable comment upon thegeneral demeanour of tho boyswherever they went."

A Tour Next YearMr. Lappin said a tour for next year

was already being arranged, as a resultof negotiations in Australia. The pro-posal was to embark at Wellington and,after calls at Lyttclton, Dunedin andBluff, to call at Hobart. After visitingMelbourne the tour would continueoverland. Mr. Lappin said he had sug-gested a scheme to the Melbourne Cen-tenary Committee for the organisationof an athletic meeting for schoolboyseither from all parts of the Empire orfrom the Australian States and NewZealand. The committee had under-taken to consider the proposal favour-ably.

The tour to Australia was begun onDecember 30 by the Monowai, therebeing 88 boys, representative of manyparts of the Dominion,- in tho party.Eighteen were from Auckland. The firstday in Sydney was spent at BondiBeach and in seeing an innings by DonBradman, the famous cricketer, for NewSouth Wales against Queensland. Theparty left for Canberra the same even-ing, and great interest was taken inthe Federal capital. The _ welcoine_ ac-corded the boys by a Cabinet Ministerwas on the Minister's own initiative.

Glimpses of the magnitude of indus-try in Victoria were obtained in Mel-bourne, where many facilities weremade available to visitors by businessleaders. The bovs spent a week-endwith Melbourne publio school boys atLord Somer's camp near Flinders Bay.In Melbourne also, the boys had whatwas a unique experience for New Zea-landers when they visited the Walterand Eliza Hall Institute, where re-search work concerning; venomous rep-tiles was undertaken. The curator de-monstrated how venom was obtainedfrom snakes, and the boys were ableto handle harmless varieties.

Newcastle and Blue MountainsFrom Melbourne, the party proceeded

to Newcastle, where steel workswere inspected. They saw steol in thoprocess of being rolled, and by-pro-ducts, such a3 tar and benzol, beingobtained from the fumes of coal, thocoke being used in the blast furnaces.Following a journey to the Blue Moun-tains and the Jenolan Caves, thoparty returned to Sydney and stayedat Manly for 11 days. The boys wentsurf-bathing in the mornings, and. inthe afternoons they visited places ofinterest, including the Hawkesbur.yAgricultural College and Koala Park.They played a cricket match againsta team organised by Mr. B. Kortlang. jformerly prominent in New Zealandas a cricketer, tho game ending in adraw. The scores were 164 for eachside, L. Smith, captain of tho King'sCollege eleven, making a score of56, which aroused much favourablecomment among good judges of thogame.

While tho boys were in Sydney, thevexperienced a heat wavo, the tem-perature being 106 degrees. They weresurprised to find they did not sufferany ill-oifects or discomfort, tho cir-cumstance being attributed to thocontrast between Sydney's dry heat andthe moist heat such as that experi-enced in Auckland. One of tho mostinteresting events of the tour was whenL. Smith, of King's College, G. Fin-ney, of Christ's College, Christchurch,D.' Steven, of New Plymouth BoysHigh School, and V. Reynolds, of Well-ington College, broadcast messages ofgreeting from station 2CH, Sydney.

POLICE INQUIRYCHARGES IN VICTORIA

r *

CASE OF A CONSTABLE

DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONBy executive action, tho Victorian

Cabinet has directed tho chief commis-sioner of police, Major-General 1. A.Blamoy, to give effect to its decisionsfollowing the report by Mr. A. A.Kelley, a former police magistrate, whoinvestigated allegations against certainmembers of tho Victorian police foicc.A difference had arisen between theCabinet and tho chief commissioner.

Tho Executive Council approved a re-

commendation to the Governor-in-Council that the chiof commissionerbo directed to transfer Senior-ConstableHenry Spencer Dunn from the criminalinvestigation branch to section uniformduty. A further order provides thatin future no rewards shall bo acceptedby membors of the force without theconsent of tho Governor-in-Council onpenalty of instant dismissal.

The report by Mr. Kelley was dis-cussed in, tho Legislative Assembly, fol-lowing a question by the Leader of theOpposition (Mr. Tunnecliffo).

The Chief Secretary, Mr. Macfarlan,said that tho Ministry had been con-sidering tho parts of the report whichcalled for action. There were two ofthese. First there was the position ofSenior-Constable Dunn, in respect ofwhom the chief commissioner, beforethe inquiry, had come to the conclu-sion that ho should bo transferred fromthe criminal investigation branch tosection duty, but subsequently hadreached a different decision. Mr. Kel-ley, in his report, had decided thatthe first decision by tho chief com-missioner was tho proper one, and hehad recommended in effect that thechief commissioner should revert tothat decision. The Ministry had takenthe necessary formal steps to see thatthat view of Mr. Kelley should beadopted. Tho chief commissioner wouldbo directed by Order-in-Council thathe must comply with tho view expressedby Mr. Kelley.

Charges Regarding CocaineIn respect of other members of the

force, Mr. Macfarlan continued, therehad been serious allegations relating tococaine. Three members of the forcealready had been dismissed by Major-Genei'al Blamoy in respect of irregu-larities, and another member, whosename had been mentioned in respectof taking rewards, had resigned volun-

j tarily before the inquiry. Apart fromthose cases, tho names, of other mem-bors of the forco had been mentioned,and the effect of Mr. Kelloy's reportin their cases was that the chargeshad been found to be not proven ordisproved. Those cases did not call foraction by the Ministry.

On the question of rewards, Mr. Mac-farlan said, the effect of the findingwas that in a number of cases thepractice followed was inconsistent withpolice regulations, particularly in re-spect of the restoration of stolen motor-cars. The Ministry viewed that prac-tico with much apprehension, because'it might open the way for seriousabuses, and possibly corruption, andthe morale of the force might be under-mined. Boforo 1927 the regulations hadprevented the acceptance of rewardswithout the authority of the chief com-missioner. In that year a gift of £IOOOhad been accented on behalf of thePolice Association, and it had beenput into land at Mornington for apolice retreat. Mr. Prendergast, whenChief Secretary, had caused a regula-tion to bo passed to the effect that,without the consent of the Governor-in-Council, no member of the forcemight take payment, or reward in re-spect of his position in the force forservices rendered in that capacity. Fromtime to time recommendations hadcome from the chief commissioner, andthey had been approved. He had re-vised the regulation because it ap-peared to him that it fitted only theoccasion, and did not go far enoughin its penalty provisions. In future anyofficer who was found guilty of a breachwould bo subject to dismissal.

Difference in RewardsIt must be recognised, Mr. Macfarlan

added, that thero were different classesof rewards. Ho would not object toa firm offering a reward to a constablewho by a prompt action had arresteda desperado, but that a member oftho iorce who knew where a car wasshould go to the owner of the car andsay, "For such a sum I will get yourcar back," was a vory different matter.Thero was only tho recipient's wordthat he had handed; or was going tohand, it to an informant.

Major-General Blarney in a state-ment said that there had been friendlydisagreement about the method of deal-ing with Senior-Constable Dunn. "Myview is that definite charges shouldhave been made against Dunn, and thathe should have been given an oppor-tunity of answering them," GeneralBlamoy said. "I was not prepared todeal with him in a disciplinary mannerwithout giving him this opportunity,which the Government did not do."

SHARKS IN SURF

WARNING FROM AEROPLANE

NOTE DROPPED TO OFFICIALS

Officials at tho Maroubra Club's surfcarnival at Sydney on January 20 re-ceived a warning that sharks were inthe water from an airman who was fly-ing overhead.

Fifty swimmers' were lined up fora race. Tho starter was on tho pointof giving his signal when an aeroplanowhich had been circling around sud-denly dived and straightened out closeto tho water. The pilot skilfullymanoeuvred the machine until it wasjust above tho officiajs. Tho crowdwhich thronged tho beach could see thepilot and his passenger gesticulatingand pointing to a spot just beyond thebreakers.

The machine roso again, circled, andcame lower. Then as it again passedover tho officials tho crowd saw some-thing drop. A moment lator a signalwas given to stop the race. The crowdwondered at the delay. The explana-tion came shortly afterwards. Theobject that had fallen was a note tothe starter. It said: "Caution advised;three hammerhead sharks are cruisingafter a shoal of fish just beyond thebreakers." It was signed by Messrs.Goya Henry, a former leading swimmerand surfer, and Aubrey Sara, a sharkfisherman, of Bondi.

When officials who had been stationedat the buoys reached the beach theysaid they had seen the sharks. Theywere near the buoys, and looked likeblue pointers, and a grey nurse. Allswimming events were cancelled and aprogramme of beach events was sub-stituted. People on the beach talkedexcitedly about the incident for sometime, and the surf was neglected forthe rest of the afternoon.

FINANCE IN CANADA

I'RIIRIE PREMIERS' PLANLOANS FOR PROVINCES

EMPLOYMENT AND INSURANCE[from OUH OWN cohresi-ondknt]

VANCOUVER. Deo. 20Tho first conference of Premiers of

Western Canada, which has just con-cluded its sittings in Victoria, is thegenesis of a fight, to bo carried on bya united bloc of Provinces, west of theGreat Lakes, to secure better tormsfrom financially-powerful, industrial-ised Eastern Canada. The leader ofthis new movement is tho new LiberalPremier of British Columbia, Mr. T.D. Pattullo, and ho is being ablyseconded by tho Premiers of the Cana-dian Prairio; —Mr. Brownlee, ofAlberta, Mr. Anderson, of Saskatche-wan, and Mr. Bracken, of Manitoba.

The boom and crash period thatended in 1929 brought more hardshipto tho West, by virtue of its depend-ence on primary industries, whosoroots lay in the soil. Prices of farmproducts, minerals, lumber and fish"went on tho toboggan." Finance tokeep them going . was available, butat ruinous rates of interest. ThePrairie Governments came to the aidof wheat when the price fell from adollar and a-half to half a dollar abushel, and, when their resources gaveout, the Federal Government savedCanada's major primary industry. Thoremainder —minerals, lumber and fish—were the victims of tariffs, competi-tion by Japan and Russia, and thedecline in buying that spread over thewqrld during the depression.

Boom and Cheap Money

The era of boom and cheap moneyleft their legacy of high interest ratesand abnormal fixed charges. From 20to 40 per cent of public revenue isnow needed to meet interest on publicindebtedness. Such a hopeless outlookmoved Mr. Pattullo to cast longingeyes on the world's financial centres,in the hope of converting the obliga-tions of British Columbia to a lowerinterest. The need for consulting thePrairie Premiers on the common prob-lem of unemployment relief led to theplan being ramified into the wider fieldof refunding the debts of the whole ofthe West. This was but a step to con-certed action, which stirred the con-ference to issue a Premiers' Plan forWestern Canada, on which the co-operation of the Government of Canadais now being sought.

The principal points of the plan areas follows;—(1) Conversion of thewhole or part of the public debt ofWestern Canada at lower rates of in-terest; (2) loans for provinces, muni-cipalities and industries, at cheaperthan prevailing interest rates; (3) all-Canada scheme of contributory unem-ployment insurance, with the neces-sary amendment in the federal con-stitution; (4) a federal publio worksprogramme, based on. the nationalcredit—with currency inflation, if itbe found necessary; (5) federal res-ponsibility for unmarried transientlabour, until the benefits of insurancecan take care of it.

Inflation OpposedTho Dominion Prime Minister, Mr.

Bennett, has set his face, sternly andinexorably, against inflation, and maybo expected to continue to frown onthe proposal. But Mr. Bennett's out-look, in the federal sphere, has im-proved at a greater proportionate ratethan that of the Western Provinces.Federal interest obligations in NewYork have been reduced, as the Cana-dian dollar has risen from a discountof 20 per cent to par with the UnitedStates dollar. His obligations to thewheat stabilisation fund have vanishedfor the same reason.

Mr. Bennett's natural desire to helpthe younger, growing western Pro-vinces will bo enhanced by the estab-lishment of a central bank by theHouse of Commons at Ottawa nextsession. He will then have the aid ofan institution that can assume respon-sibility for currency and credit, withtho agreeable prospect that all finan-cing, federal and provincial, can becarried on by one authority, removedfrom party politics, backed by thenation's resources.

SIR HENRY DICKENSKILLED BY MOTOR-CYCLE

" ACCIDENTAL DEATH " VERDICT[from our own correspondent]

LONDON, Deo. 29At the inquest on Sir Henry Dickens,

K.C., at Hammersmith, a verdict of"accidental doath" was returned, andthe motor-cyclist who collided with himon December 16 at Chelsea, althoughnot exonerated, was not blamed.

A constable, giving evidence, saidthat when in hospital Sir Henry gavohis address as 2 Egerton Place. "Iwont there and found that Sir Henryhad lived there 10 years previously,"said the officer.

The coroner said that he had oftenfound that an injured person gave anaddress where he had previously lived.Fred Raper, the driver of the motor-cycle, said that when he first saw SirHenry he was running from a refugeacross the road.

Ilia Coroner: Wo do not run much atover 80, do we ?—No, sir.Mr. llaper said that Sir Henry wasabout five yards away when ho first

saw him, and tho reason he did notsee him sooner was that a memorialobstructed his view. Ho could not havesworved to have avoided Sir Henry,though ho tried to do so. He soundedhis horn, immediately applied hisbrakes, and shouted at the top of hisvoice. The front wheel of the motor-bicycle struck Sir Henry, and witnessfoil off Ins machine. Ho had driven forabout 14 years and had never pre-viously had an accident.

Tho coroner submitted tho followingthree questions to the jury:—(1) Wasthe bicycle driven negligently? (2) Ifso, was it gross negligence? (3) Didthey wish to exonerate the driver fromblame? Thev answered "No" to thefirst, and the second did not, there-fore, arise. As to the third, the coro-ner said the jury did not wish to goso far. The coroner added that the jurydid not blame the driver because theevidence did not entitle them to, andthoy did not exonerate him becausethat was rightly kept for cases wheretho facts were beyond dispute.

Mr. F. Denny, who represented Mr.Raper, expressed the latter's sincereregret that he had unwittingly beenconcerned in an accident, which ledto the death of so distinguished a per-son, and also his sympathy with SirHenry Dickens' relatives. Mr. Dennyalso expressed the sympathy of theBar,

The coroner said that there werereally two roads at the place wherethe accident occurred, and Sir HenryDickens might have been unaware ofthis. When he left the refuge he mighthave thought that he had dealt withhalf the traffic, and had, therefore, onlyone line to meet, whereas he had infact to meet two fresh lines.

ESKIMOS AND RADIO

ARCTIC CIRCLE BROADCAST

GREAT CHRISTMAS TREAT|

| I'THE WHITE MAN'S MAGIC *

[n.osi our own correspondent!VANCOUVER, J»b. «

To the white man's accustomedmethod of regaling his Eskimo friendswith good cheer has now been addedthe unique incident of a programme c?music, dancing and folk songß, broad-cast in their own from withinthe Arctic Circle, for the benefit, notonly for native guests, but also forsettlements scattered across the WhiteSilence.

The idea originated with a youngofficial wireless operator. He, withothers at Coppermine, on the shores ofthe Arctic Ocean, took part in a Christ-mas junketing tendered the Eskimos bva homesick young Scottish doctor whowas stationed there. With the aid ofthe North-West Mounted Police, nativerunner;3, and the swift-moving "moc-casin telegraph," the doctor had as-sembled 200 Eskimos from a consider-able radius.

The guests began to arrive a wsekbefore Christmas, carrying a big trainof skins and goods for trading. Therewere almost as many dogs aa Eskimos.As each team arrived, its men set towork to build igloos. When the mainbody had assembled, all its man-powercombined to throw up a huge assemblyigloo, working at a pace that rieverfails to bewilder white men. For theEskimo knows that, with the profit ofhis trading, be can afford to return thecompliment of his white hosts, shrewdlyaware of the never-failing sources ofsuperior food available at trading posts.

As each igloo went up, its occupantsimmediately went the round of thewhite men's homes, remaining at eachlong enough to utter, greetings and re-gale themselves with "hardtack," "andabnormal draughts of tea, of whichthese similing children are the greatestaddicts.

Junketing and RadioThen, to the post store, to barter

pelts for wares. Each night they as-sembled at the wireless station to gatewith mild wonder at tho equipmentthat broadcasts the Arctio weather re-ports and the round of the day's officialbusiness. They are, however, quite un-moved at any explanation of mrelesswonders, which are to them merelywhite men's magic. Have they not theirown magicians?

On Christmas Day, the junketingreached its peak. The menu would drawsighs of envy from a metropolis gour-met—ptarmigan soup, fillet of Arctiosalmon, grilled white fox, Greenlandhare, roast snow owl, seal giblets, cari-bou steak, and—as a sop to civilisa-tion—canned vegetables and plumpudding.

The company assembled later in themain hall of the wireless station. Herewas a real Christmas tree, broughtmany hundred miles from the timbercountry. The Hudson's Bay Companyapprentice acted Santa Claus, handingout gifts; raisins and candy for all,pocket knives for boys and handker-chiefs for girls.

Music was coming in from a notedNew York dance orchestra. At itsheight, the operator had his great idea.Why should not the traders, mission-aries, police and natives elsewherealong the Arctic littoral hear a realArctic broadcast? He therefore set upa microphone. His chief played theguitar, an assistant the harmonica. Totheir accompaniment they sang popularsongs that they had picked out of theether, told localised jokes, and F,and-wiched personal greetings to theirfriends. From every corner of the Arc-tic, in the days that followed, they got"repeat" requests for the unique enter-tainment.

Grand Christmas BallNot so unique to the Eskimos. Accus-

tomed to hearing Broadway jazz in thisland where radio stations from Londonto Wellington and Capetown can bepicked up without static or interfer-ence, they were soon bored, and re-paired to their own "hall," to be fol-lowed shortly by the whites. When theEskimos.begaV to dance, to their primi-tive tribal muske, the operator hastilytrailed a wire from his microphone,and by means of remote control s6ntout into the heavens the grand ArcticChristmas ball, that will hold a nichefor all time in the history of radiobroadcasting.

Next day, the guests had struckcamp by noon. Sleighs were packed,dogs harnessed, papooses loaded, and.with staccato commands to their, team*ringing out on the crisp winter air,they broke trail and disappeared atmany points over the horizon.

The chief event decided was the{aches' diving championship of Auck-land. In this the champion of lastTear, Miss B. Cooke, Mount EdenClub, was indisposed, the title beingiron by Miss 1. Long, also of theMount Eden Club. Miss Long andsliss E. Bunting, of the PonsonbyClub, were the two contestants chosenbv the judges to dive off for the cham-pionship.

"DREAM GIRL"

Kvervwhere that the musical comedy

"Dream Girl" has been shown its re-ception has been phenomenal. It willhe presented for the first time in INewZealand at His Majesty's 'lheatre onSaturday, February 10. Ihe cast hasbeen chosen with an eye to gainingthat perfection in acting so necessar.vto the successful presentation oi latter-dav successes. Thus there are a num-her of exceptionally talented people,who arc said to portray their partsin a vcrv sincere and convincing

manner, the story of the comedy is anunusual one. There are 26 musicalnumbers, and these are shared individ-ually bv 10 very excellent voices. Ihefirst" scene is laid at Brighton, Eng-

land, and this reveals an exact repro-duction of the famous Brighton Pier.A press report says:— Dream Gutcarries the audience through manycomplicated situations, in which ro-mance and humour are cleverly inter-twined. Every musical number is adistinct hit and there are numerouschoruses. The dialogue is original andclever and the humorous quips are allwell timed. The staging is a revelation,the dressing colourful, while rightthroughout the comedy there is life andmovement. Th© ballets have been madea distinct feature, being the essenceof grace and rhythm, no matter howintricate the movements

ENTERTAINMENTSROXY AND TIVOLI THEATRESRichard Dix gives a portrayal rank-

ing equal with his previous splendidcharacterisations in an ej)ic drama ofthe air, "The Ace of Aces," the filmwhich heads the double-feature pro-gramme which will be shown for thefirst time at the Rox.y and TivoliTheatres to-day. This actor gave somenotable performances in the pictur.cs"Hell's .Highway" and "The LostSquadron," and in this latest film hegives further confirmation of his naturalability to deal capably with a storyof the air. He takes the role of a pacificartist, who, when the Great Y\ ar breaksout, joins the air lorce mainly to savehimself from the taunts of cowardice.He then realises the truth ol themaxim, "kill or be killed," and manymonths do not elapse before he is recog-nised as the "ace of aces." The storyconcludes in a manner free from theconventional, in that the pilot, is over-come with remorse at the number ofmen he has sent to their death, andattempts to get a discharge from theservice. "Heroes for Sale," in whichIt it-hard Bartlie] mess takes the leadingrole, is the second picture on the pro-gramme. This film also deals with thewar, and concerns & young man whogoes to the front, and is rewarded forbravery, but he receives wounds thatmake him unable to take up his formerlife again. His efforts to rehabilitatehimself give an opportunity for somemost emotional acting. The supportingcast has tieen chosen with great care,

and Loretta Young gives an excellentportrayal in the opposite role. It is

the first, New Zealand screening of bothpictures.

CIVIC THEATREMaurice Chevalier's fascinating per-

sonality is displayed at its best in Lhc ,Way to liove," which is delighting pat-rons of the Civic Theatre. Once againhe appears as a Parisian in search oflife and love, and once again he is Jheard singing charming- songs in hisown inimitable manner. Edward 1m 01 cttHorton appears in support of Cheva-lier, while Ann Dvorak is excellent inthe leading feminine role. Leslie Hen-son is as droll as ever in "It's a Boy,'a bright English farce which will com-mence a season at the theatre 011 T'li-dav. The opening scenes, which showHenson and Edward Everett Hortonat a bachelor dinner party on the eveof a wedding, tipssly uncertain whetherthey are at a regimental reunion or adirectors' meeting, are particularlyhilarious, and the standard is main-tained throughout the film.

MAJESTIC THEATREThe complications which ensue when

a bride-to-be endeavours to return agarter to a former admirer cause manyhilarious situations in "Night of theGarter," which is nearing the end ofa successful season at the MajesticTheatre. Sydney Howard is well castas- an impassive butler, and he iscapably supported by Winifred Shotter,Elsie Randolph and Austin Melford.The second picture on the programmeis "Wings Over Africa." an interest-ing travel film. Tom Walls, perhaps themost successful of all British comedians,appears at his best as a happy-go-luckyIrishman in "Blarney Stone," whichwill have its initial presentation at theTheatre 011 Friday.

REGENT THEATREThe sparkling English comedy

"Heads We Go," with Constance Cum-mings. Binnie Barnes and Frank Law-ton,"will be shown finally at the RegentTheatre to-morrow, and will be suc-ceeded on Friday by "The Private Lifeof Henry VJJL" Discussing the film,the critic of the London Morning Postsays:—"At last a great English film.This can be stated without equivoationor without reserve. This is the film ofthe year from any country in the world.

! It is' by far the best film which has everbeen made in England; the first Britishfilm worthy, of the name of a nationalpicture. There may be those who willcavil at certain historical facts, butthere can be no doubt as to its qualityas a motion picture."

ST. JAMES' THEATREMargaret Sullavan, the brilliant

American stage player who makes herscreen debut in "Only Yesterday,"proves by the large audiences she isattracting to St. James' Theatre thatshe will be as popular with Aucklandaudiences as with those overseas. Sheplays a very difficult role with an easygrace, which proves the value of herstage training. The strong supportingcast of 93 artists is headed by JohnBoles, Billie Burke, Reginald Dennyand Edna May Oliver.

STRAND THEATREA fine sense of pictorial values makes

"S.O.S. Iceberg," the current film atthe Stnuid Theatre, one of the mostartistic films seen in Auckland for sometime. In this story of life in the Arcticthe camera may truly be said to bethe main player, fdr the photographyof Dr. Arnold Fa nek has made greatmasses of ice seem living things. ErnstUdet. a German flying "ace," appearsin several daring flying scenes.

CRYSTAL PALACE AND RIALTOLilian Harvev appears in "My

Weakness," the picture which headsthe double-feature programme nowbeing shown at the,Crystal Palace andRialto Theatres. "What! No Beer?"is the support-at the Crystal PalaceTheatre, while "Walls of Gold," astory of the life led by the wealthierclasses, is the supporting film at theRialto Theatre.NATIONAL AND PRINCE EDWARD

LETTERS TO THE EDITORBUTTER MARKETING

Sir,—Mr. Parlane assures us thatMr. Dynes Fultou is not, going Hometo speak for the whole' dairy industry,but only for his company. Someoneshould be sent to London to speak forthe industry as a whole. Dairy farmershave lost confidence in the controllersof their business, and are in despair atthe present calamitous prices. The Gov-ernment must institute an inquiry atonce. They should lead, not follow.This month's payout is likely to besixpence in our currency, roughly three-pence on a gold basis. Surely they wouldnot be accused of being precipitate ifthey acted at once. J. Littlkjohx.

SOCIALIST PROPOSALS

Sir,—Arc your readers to infer fromthe silence of Socialists to the. pertinentqueries of "C.H.N." that they have noplan whereby the change over to col-lective ownership could bo equitablyaccomplished? That some way must befound, and put in practice, for a bettorapportionment of wealth than obtainsat present is patent to all earnestpolitical thinkers. But "State Social-ism" is not the way. Its fundamentalfallacy lies in thinking that the rate ofproduction would continue the sameif the incentives to individual efiortwere removed. To acquire a sufficiencyof wealth is the dominant motive ofcivilised humanity; but the materialmeans of "production, distribution andexchange of wealth"—to quote thefamiliar formula—are not the only onesnecessary. Without the spirit of enter-prise, plus the determination and know-ledge to carry things through, the ma-chinery of production would slow downtremendously. These spiritual qualitiescannot be collectively owned or pro-duced. As for the distribution of wealth,how this can be done in a fairer waythan the present [ fail to sec. Surelya man deserves to keep for himselfwhat he works for. Whether the condi-tions of our socio-economic system donot need alteration before he canhonestly do so is another matter alto-gether. Alkxandkr Fkaskk.

Sir,—Your correspondent, Mr. P. H.Pearson, has misrepresented me. I didnot say that communism is a form of"undiluted freedom." "Undiluted free-dom" does not exist anywhere that1 know of—certainly not in New Zea-land—and could not possibly exist inany well-ordered community. Mr. Pear-son quotes an American writer to provethat the Russian people are living ina state of oppression and tyranny.What is the value of such criticism ?

Have not other well-known Americanwriters—Wm. Hearst, for example—-made the most grotesque and libel-lous statements about the British Gov-ernment and British institutions.Would Mr. Pearson accept such criti-cism as authoritative and conclusive.1 could name a score of eminent writerswho have been to Russia and be-stowed the highest, praise on the SovietGovernment and its achievements.Some of them, like Bernard Shaw, LordPassfieki and Oliver Baldwin areSocialists and for that reason theiropinions would probably be regarded-bv non-Socialists as biassed. Otherslike Professor Huxley (Oxford), CalvinHoover (Yale) and Lamont Harris, otHarvard University (who recently spenttwo years investigating labour condi-tions in Russia), are not Socialists, orwere not at the time of their visit toRussia. All, however, comment favour-ably on the education system (whichis free from kindergarten to univer-sity), on the great improvementseffected in housing and sanitation, onthe rising standard of living, on thesteady reduction of working hours—-now a maximum of 35 hours per week

and on the absence of unemploy-ment. R- C. Simmons.

yj r>—|t would seem that "Logicis a Socialist and does not realise thefact. What is Socialism but co-opera-tion' for the benefit of all ? Is not thefundamental principle of Socialism theBiblical injunction "Thou shalt lovethy neighbour as thyself." Under Chris-tianity, as under Socialism, it is notconsidered good to put one's own inter-ests and instincts before those of thecommunity. Socialism does not recog-nise the justice of subordinating thefood of the whole to sectional or in-dividual good. Tts only possible goalis the good of the whole. It is to thecredit of Socialism that it tries to raise

the standard of physical comfort amongthe poor. It aims at improving thesocial and economic conditions underwhich the people, and especially thepoorest people, live, in order to makethe conditions such as will help andnot hinder moral conduct. Recognisingthat we cannot have spiritual progressin the face of deadly misery, it desiresto elevate human nature as a wholeby supplying the need of man's in-tellect and his spirit, as well as hisbody. It finds the betterment of man-kind the supreme motive to the com-plete realisation of the liberty, equalityand fraternity which arc the principlesof all true Socialism. In the worldthere is, or there could be, plenty forall. What is lacking is the means ofdistribution. In the individualisticstate this shortage of consumption isallowed to continue. With socialisationof credit and currency the means ofdistribution can be supplied in theform of money for services rendered.

EXCHANGE AND TARIFFS

Sir,—"Business" has got the wrongidea altogether as to the farmers' viewof tariffs. We have no objection to"revenue" tariffs, except that we claimthey are unfair in their incidence.What we object to is "protective','tariffs. The higher a "protective"tariff the less it produces in revenueand, if it is made high enough, it pro-duces no revenue at all as it blocks allimportation. The whole idea, of a "pro-tective" tariff is to enable local manu-facturers to charge more for locally-made goods. High exchange acts as atariff and the people who benefit mostfrom high exchange are the local manu-facturers. Recently I sent an order toan Auckland firm for a pair of doorhangers. These were advertised in ayear-old catalogue at lis 9d per pair,but when 1 got my invoice I found Iwas charged 18s 9d per pair. The"hack" on which they run was adver-tised at Bsd a foot, but I was chargedIs per foot. I wrote and complained,and this is the answer I got: "Thesehangers were originally made inAmerica, but the cost became prohibi-tive and what we no\y stock are locallymade. For your information I may statethe present conditions have practi-cally doubled the cost of this lino.""Business" will note that the advant-age gained by "the prohibitive cost"is all to the good of the local manufac-turer. The poor farmer gets blamed fora lot of things that he has nothingto do with Let me point out to "Busi-ness" that the exchange increase on apound of butter is at present 13d; ona lawnmower it is 12s 6d. Needless tosay, the importation of lawnmowers isnearly a thing of the past; they arcbeing made locally at more than doublethe British price. There are dozens ofarticles that used to come from Britainthat are now made locally, as the duty,exchange and other importing costsvary from 60 to 80 per cent. In thecase of foreign countries they varyfrom 80 to 100 per cent. Australia isreaping a rich harvest as she has anadvantage of 25 per cent, plus a lowercharge, as against Britain.

Frank Colbfxk.Morrinsville, January 27, 1034.

ROAD MAKING

Sir,—.1 thoroughly agree with the re-marks of "M." in the HLkhai,t> of Janu-ary ;SO, as undoubtedly loose metal,whether quarried or river-bed shingle,will never make a binding surface with-out the use of a satisfactory bindingagent. "M." suggests fine clay or earth.Either would be preferable to nothing,but scoria, shell, or the brown materialobtainable from certain parts of thegulf are also good. The present methodof spreading loose metal is very ex-travagant. unsatisfactory and dan-gerous. Two other matters might bementioned: (.1) it is a mistake tospread metal on a road which has a badcamber (especially at a corner or bendin the road), without first correctingthe camber; (2) In my opinion, it isalso a mistake to spread metal (or re-pair a road in any way) without firstwidening sharp bends, because ulti-mately the bends will have to be wid-ened, and then the traffic will not passover the original strip of road, render-ing the previous metalling valueless. Adozen, such examples can be foundwithin a few miles of Milford along theEast Coast Road. This is not a tiltmerely at the Waitematn County Coun-cil, because similar conditions exist inall the districts within 150 miles ofthe city. Max.

SUBSIDISED SHIPPINGSir,—In the Hbkald of January 30

"J.H." writes on above subject, sav-ing the British Government shouldadopt this method of competition. Thisis not an economic way of trading, andlegitimate companies, provided thevare adequately . protected, should beable to get on without such help. Itis a very bad practice to introduce:the public have to pay it, and thevshould bo a country's first considera-tion, not individuals, or companies.Our shipping can progress to-day asin the past, provided the needed pro-tection is rigorously extended to it. andthis is not being done to-day. GreatBritain has been too liberal in thepast, and to-day our move should beto consider the interests of our Em-pire first, and absolutely restrict ourintercourse to our own transport, whichis, or can be, made adequate withoutsubsidy! An island Empire to continuemust, at all costs, sustain its meansof transport, and protect this in every

legitimate way, for it can only suc-ceed itself by the success of its mostimportant asset. The time has arrivedfor the Empire's voice to unita to com-pel preference for our own,--J|and im-pose restrictions on outsiders.

AriuciTY.

Si r> —In a letter on .January 30"J.H." suggested fighting shipping sub-sidies with subsidies, but t imagine hehas not thought of the cost. Americanshipping, it is calculated, has duringthe past fV-'v vcars been run at a lossof £600,000,000, mostly taxpayers'money. The shipping company thatmostly a fleets New Zealand is theAmerican Matson Line, and this com-pany, 1 believe, receives a subsidy of£360,000 a year, spread over two ships.Its competitor, the Union Line, re-ceives, I believe, £30,000, spread overfour ships, or £IBO.OOO and £<soo pership respectively. Further, the ships ofthe Matson Line are built out of fundsprovided by the Government at a nom-inal rate of interest. Such interest ispaid out of the subsidy. Does "J.H."suggest that we should copy, if wecould, such unfair methods as this. Therecent Senate inquiry at Washingtonbrought out the fact that one steamship corporation was paid £60,000 sub-sidy for carrying four pounds of mail,and in 1929 it was paid 66,000 dollarsa pound under contract awarded by theHoover Administration. Further, thototal subsidies paid t6 this corporationin 1931, .1932, 1933 amounted to con-siderably more than it paid to thoUnited States Government for the18 vessels it purchased from the Ship-ping Board. Jn other words, the Gov-ernment gave back the purchase money,and considerably more, in 36 monthsfor practicajjy no services rendered. Insome cases 30,000 dollars have Kbenpaid for the carrying of one letter.How can British shipping compete.jvvithsuch "dumped" shipping as this.

PURCHASING POWER

Sir,—Mr. Johnstone makes a veryshrewd poiiit when he draws attentionto our inability to control within ourown country, the amount of pur-chasing power released by the sale ofthat portion of our products which issold overseas. However, should this in-terfere with a desire to make pur-chasing power within our country bal-ance with the production which hasnot been exported? If there were ashortage of purchasing power—whichI believe existing conditions amplyshow to be a fact—what is there toprevent this shortage being remedied?If modern money is largely a mat-ter of book-keeping (and need woargue on so elementary a question?)then should there be difficulty in mak-ing our book entries conform with thephysical reality ? As to the exportsthey are sold, say, in London. The pro-ceeds are paid to a credit account inthat city and can be used for eitherof two purposes. One, they can be ap-plied to the liquidation of outstandingforeign debts (which soon would be ex-tinguished, since we are no longer ac-cepting these phantom sums); two,tliey can be used to purchase goods tobrt imported into New Zealand. Now.whatever may he the value (in termsof our own currency) of these importsthis amount clearly must be providedfor with purchasing power. That is tosay, when making out estimate wotake total production, less exports, plusimports, thereby arriving at the totalfor which purchasing power is required,i trust your correspondent, "C.H.N.,"will excuse me if i decline his invita-tion to plunge into the dry horrors ofa Year Book. I hope to be permittedto answer "C.H.N.'s" second query asto the means of distributing now pur-chasing power in a succeeding letter.

PLAZA THEATRE

"This Week of Graco," the currentattraction at the Plaza Theatre, pro-vides an admirable vehicle for thotalents of Gracie Fields. She is castas Gracie Milroy, a north country fac-tory girl, and the role is one whichgives full play to her unassuming Lan-cashire humour. Tho story, althoughslight, is entertaining, and tolls howGracie loses her position through aseries of misadventures, only to mootan eccentric duchess who offers her aposition managing hor estate. Tho ar-rival of the Milroys, with their rathercommonplace manners, at a dignifiedcastle makes a splendid opportunityfor unrestrained humour. Miss Fieldssings several charming songs, whichshow her brilliant and flexible voice togreat advantage, especially in "MarvRose," "Happy Ending" and "HeavenWill Protect An Honest Girl.'' Thosupporting cast includes Frank Pet-tingell, .Henry Kendall and DouglasWakefield. Mr. Denis Sheard is heardin a bracket of songs at the eveningsession.

PASSENGER FLIGHTS

Passenger flights will be made by SirCharles Kingsrord Smith to-morrow inthe well-known monoplane SouthernCross at Mr. Barnaby's property, nearTuakau. Particulars are advertised.

ATHLETIC SPORTSCRICKET NOTES

OVERSEAS COACHES

BENEFIT TO THE GAME

'PRAISE WELL JUSTIFIEDThe praise bestowed upon English

professional coaches at the jubileesmoke concert of the Auckland CricketAssociation was fully justified, and itis very pleasing to note that the finework of the coaches in advancing thestand'ard of cricket in Auckland isfully appreciated. Not only in Auck-land, however, but in other places inNew Zealand coaching has had verybeneficial effects upon the generalstandard of tho game throughout thoDominion.

As far as Auckland is concernedeverybody seems to agree that A. E."RelF was the best of the professionalcoaches engaged. There is no doubtthat his play and coaching in his timelaid the foundation to the present highstandard of the game here. However,the work of E. H. Rowley, .T. Lang-ridge, and A. F. Wensley must not belost sight of, and they, too, must sharein the honour of uplifting the game inAuckland.*

With regard to Bow ley one needlook no further than P. E. Whitelaw,who Vras one of his pupils. Whitelawis modelled more or less on the lines ofBowley, and it can be said that at thepresent time he is the soundest bats-man in Auckland. Bowley and Lang-ridge were also responsible for bring-ing H. G. Vivian, the all-rounder, andD. G. Cleverlev, the fast bowler, intothe limelight.

An instance of Wensley's work canbe given in the case of that promisingcolt, M. Wallace, who, at the age of17 years," represented his province inall Plunket Shield matches this season.Wensley, when coaching Wallace here,predicted a bright future for him, andexpected him to be a New Zealandbatsman in the near future.

The coaching yf G. R. Cox for theSuburban Association also liad goodresults, and since his time there hasbeen a general all-round improvement.

Coaching of SchoolboysAmong the younger generation ,in

their time the splendid work of Jones,ard and Shaeklock, who later went

to Canterbury, must not be overlooked.To-day there are still many cricketerswho show the benefit received fromthese coaches when schoolboys.

Coming to other provinces, J. V.Saunders, the Victorian, and Badcock,now of Otago, did splendid work forWellington, and later Dempsterbrought out the batting abilities ofsome of the present colts in that pro-vince.

E. Humphries, Kent, was responsiblefor greatly improving the standard inCanterbury, as he was a fine all-rounder. Later W. Carlton, the Aus-tralian, recognised as one of the finestof all coaches, brought to the, foremany of the schoolboys at that time.One of his pupils, the late R. G. Hick-mott, who was killed at the war, wasthe first schoolboy cricketer to repre-sent New Zealand. . Later, J. New-man, Hampshire, was engaged, andgreat credit is due to him for the morerecent successes of the province inPlunket Shield cricket.■ Otago at one time engaged the fam-ous Australian, C. G. Macartney, who,fit-range to say, did not meet with thesnccess/ anticipated in regard to hisown displays. Just recently Auck-landers had the opportunity of seeingthe Otago team in action, and its field-ing alone was a tribute to its coach,F. T. Badcock.

Early DaysRegarding the early days little was

done about the engagement of profes-sionals to coach young cricketers. G.Paramour, engaged by the DunedinClub, was the chief exception. InOtago led the way and engagedA. E. , Lawton, a prominent AVarwick-shire cricketer, for a term of fouryears. Lawton built up a team whichbecame first-class and, incidentally, oneof the historic teams of New Zealand.G. Mills, present groundsman atEden Park, was engaged in 1884 byHawke s Bay, and was followed someyears afterwards by Albert Trott, theAustralian XI. player, while Jim Phil-lips./the ex-Victorian and Middlesexplayer, was engaged by Canterbury.l.hcso coaches, however, were en-gaged for short periods only, andtherefore had little time to bring theirefforts' to fruition. Auckland, later on,adopted Otago's plan of bringing out aprofessional coach from England for alonger term, and the result was astriking success.

I hen came A. 10. Rolf, Sussex, and iti> interesting to know that duringKeif s three years' engagement Auck-land/was not once defeated. Rolf wasfollowed by Pearson (Worcestershire),and Thompson (Northampton).

Hawke's Bay engaged J. If. Board.Gloucestershire, for a long term, andP-' Jones for a long time coachedoil i Auckland GrammarSchool. Charles Bannerman, the oldAustralian" player of the 1878 team,

several years in coaching atChrist s College, Christchurch.Therefore it will be recognised thatcricketers in New Zealand have hadthe privilege of being coached by someof tho leading cricketers of the'world.

CRICKET INCIDENT

"Old Cricketer," Hamilton, writes;"In the issue of the Herald of Jan-uary 24 I the report of an un-usual stumping incident that occurredat Otahuhu, and this brings to my minda somewhat similar incident that hap-pened in my own experience.

LAWN TENNIS

AUCKLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS

ANDREWS IN SPLENDID FORM

SOME PROLONGED CONTESTS

BY SIDKI/INEThe Auckland lawn tennis champion-

ship meeting of 1934 will be remem-bered perhaps after meetings both pre-cedent and subsequent to it have beenforgotten. The entry was large and ofa higher quality than is usually asso-ciated with an Auckland provincialtournament and, although the likelycontestants, in the finals of the majorevents were fairly apparent after thegames had once commenced, many oftho early round matches reached an ex-cellent standard and most of the final-ists uero subjected to fairly searchingtests at one stage or another of theeliminating rounds.

In the men's singles M. INI. Morrisonstaged one of the most miraculous re-coveries ever witnessed in Aucklandtennis when he come from behind atI—s and 15—40 to win the matchagainst G. Brough, of Hamilton.

Friday's play brought the last eightinto line and it is particularly pleasingto be able to record the presence of M.T. Wilson in such select company. Afeature of the play in this round wasMorrison's fine effort against Douohoe.For Morrison's less enterprising game tosucceed it was essential for him toseize the openings created by his ortho-dox driving., Steadiness against Dono-hoe was not quite enough; he neededbut did not quite reveal the finishingpower of the expert, and Donohoe rais-ing the standard of his play was ableto come from behind and snatch vic-tory from the fire. M. T. Wilsonstruggled without avail against Andrewsand could only secure one game.

Sturt ran through Charters, but theWhangarei player appeared to be toocareful. Bartleet put up a great fightfor three/ sets against Malfroy, butcould not last the pace and was forcedto retire after losing the third set by anarrow margin.

Donohoe EliminatedIn the semi-finals Andrews eliminated

Donohoe as he had done all his op-ponents. He did not lose a sendee andat times got amazing speed on his fore-hand, while his volleys were deftl;>placed and many of them sliced andchecked were often unanswerable. Fortwo long sets Sturt and Malfroy racedso close together and were so evenlyriiatched that the issue seemed to de-pend on fortune's fickle fancy. Thatboth should have been credited to Mal-froy and that their destination shouldhave virtually decided the match testi-fied to the fine fighting power of theWellington player.

The final revealed Andrews at thevery top of his form, and his brilliantall-ronnd play was altogether too muchfor Malfroy.

Miss Beverley's defeat of Mrs. Mel-ody in the second roujid of the ladies'singles was not unexpected. The Wai-lcato player has shown steady improve-ment during the past two seasons,while Mrs. Melody, although still adangerous opponent, is not quite soquick in covering her court as of old.Miss Taylor had a certain amount oftrouble with Miss Edwards and droppedthe middle set, while Miss Marie Col-son's defeat of Mrs. Wren was one ofher best performances to date.

Friday's play was notable for MissBetty Griffiths' splendid play againstMiss Newton, whom she eliminated inthree well-contested sets. The youngRemuera player is showing great formthis year, and, in the opinion of many,should have caught the eye of theselectors before. However, her turn willcome.

Miss Macfarlane ExtendedThe semi-finals provided a runaway

victory for Miss Nicholls and a search-ing test for Miss Macfarlano. Indeed,so close were tho last-nained's firsttwo sets against Miss Beverley, whowas frequently in the ascendancy, thatit seemed impossible that the Waikatoplayer should come to earth empty-handed. Miss Macfarlane, however, hasthe great moral asset of nevor lookingtired, and it must have been dis-heartening to Miss Beverley, who hadalmost run herself to a standstill, tobe caught at 4-all and attacked withjust as much vigour as in the earlystages.

Miss Nicholls proved too good in alldepartments for Miss Macfarlane in thefaiial, and her success was well merited.lhe Indies' doubles, often regardedas the least interesting event on theprogramme, did not provide manythrills iu the early rounds. The defeatof the title-holders in two love sets isworth recording, as is the grim butenterprising struggle that developedbetween Misses Marion and MnrjorieMacfarlane and Misses Ramsay 'andNowton.

The men's doubles were dominated bvthree pairs, E D. Andrews and N., pturt, C. E. Malfroy and E. L. Bart-.eet, and C. J. Donohoe and ]\r. T.

Ilanc' Stevens did fairlywell. 1hey defoated a, veteran combina-tion m the nrst round and pressed theTurner brothers quite closely in thesecond Ron-Lands and Morrison, who.ire a difhcult combination for any aver"® f'toptay, mm quite SRpope with Andrews and Sturt in fullThe combined doubles went toBonohoe and Miss Nicholls, who werevastly superior as a combination to theother pairs.

AMATEUR ATHLETICSPROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

PROGRAMME NEXT SATURDAY

ELLIOT AND COOPER OUTThe Auckland Amateur Athletic

championships will ho decided at theDomain next Saturday, awl withthe great revival ol' tho sport in thecountry centres there will be a finerepresentation of athletes from all overthe province. The absence, however, ofthe holders of four of tho running titles'will be most unfortunate. Both A. J.Elliot 100 yards and 220 yards)and N. F. Cooper (1 mile and 3 miles),winners of last year, are suffering fromleg injuries which make it impossiblefor them to compete. Elliot's strainedleg muscle is mending fairly well andit is hoped lie may be able to competein the New Zealand championships onFebruary 16 and 17. UnfortunatelyCooper's ankle injury has proved muchworse than at first thought and tlie.rois no hoi>e of his competing at eitherciiam pioushi p mee ting.

For tho 100 yards title V. Walker,last year's runner-up, is the mostlikely winner. S. Bainbridge will provehard to beat in the 220 yards, and theissue will undoubtedly lie between thispair. Steel, of Rotorua, will be thebest of tho country exponents iu thesetwo events, and ho will probably gaina place, while the next most likely ofthe Aueklanders are R. Hook, in tho100 yards, and Buckley and Cargill, inthe furlong.

The 410 yards appears a certaintyfor the title-holder, W. S. Bainbridge,but the fight for the minor places willbe keen. G. Mitchell is sure to showup, while G. Whve and Buckley mustalso bo considered. If he starts, how-ever, tho most likely runner-up will bethe brilliant Grammar School boy, A.J. Savers, who was in great form atPapatoetoe last Saturday.

Half-mile OpenThe most open race on the pro-

gramme, and what will probably beone of the most interesting, is the half-mile. The title-holder, L. Barker, isrunning solidly, but not quite as bril-liantly as in the past, and there are atleast six other men who possess equalchances of dethroning the champion.P. Liudsay, last year's runner-up, andG. Midgeley, 1933 junior 880 yardschampion, will be hard to dispose of,while G. Whye, after his great 660yards run the other evening, must boconsidered. L. Johnson did lm. 58 4,-os.,off 5 yards, a week ago, and the con-sistency of J. Valder give him agreat chance. 11. Eade, tho 1931 cham-pion, is staginga "comeback" and is re-ported to be very fit, but probably willsuffer through lack of racing. The mostlikely placiugs are perhaps Valder,Barker and Whye.

The mile race should provide agreat struggle between Savidan, Valderand A. 11. Wilson, of Whangarei, fromwhom great things are expected.Savidan is as brilliant as ever andshould win, but over the mile anythingmay happen, as there are some fastmilers in Auckland.

The Savidan-Coopcr duel will be miss-ing from the three miles, but theformer will receive plenty of oppositionfrom Wilson and A. M. Atton, whowill probably reserve himself for thisevent. Atton is proving a fine runner,and as he has often broken 15 minutesfor the 3 miles in England, and is nowin top form he will probably providevery strong opposition.

The two walks should see R. Cameronretain his titles comfortably, but G.Rodgers, E. Laird, and possibly G. Maywill provide great struggles for secondplace in both events. If May would onlystride out more he would provedangerous to the champion.

There has not beeu a single 320 yardshurdles event in Auckland this seasonand consequently the result of thisevent remains doubtful. C. Speake beatA. Malcolm by inches in fast time inthe South Auckland championship andwill be hard to beat again. J. Healy isa possibility for this event, while 'J 1

. H.C. Caugliey will be watched with in-terest. The 220 yards hurdles should bethrilling to watch. F. Finlavson andW. Knight will be the main city hopes.O. R. Morgan, of Whangarei, has greatpossibilities in this event and is a mostlikely runner, while P. Hackctt mustbe considered.

Jumping and Field RacesThe <l4O yards hurdles race will lookstrange without D. Kerr-Tavlor, and inhis absence his rival, A. H. Malcolm,

may just carry the day. A. Ball wasregarded as the most promising manlast year, and he should bo Melcolm'shardest opponent.

The jumping and field events remainvery open, and some of the countrycompetitors may again surprise thetown men as they did last year. It willbe hard to deprive 0. Morgan of hislong jump and hop, step and jumptitles as he is in splendid form at pres-ent, as shown by his 2.1 it. 4in. jumpthe other evening. S. Carter, Hamilton,has some fine long jumps to his credit,while R. S. Brown, of the TechnicalClub, will also bo closely watched, moreparticularly in the hop, step and jump,in which event he is a really fine ex-ponent. N. McKay, of Waipu, will re-ceive strong opposition in the defenceof his high jump title from three goodmen in P. TTnckett, J. Allen and J.

Christobel, of Rotorua, who are all do-ing over the oft. 6iti. mark.

The shot, discus, hammer and javelinevents are very open with a number ofgood strong men all on a par. A.Bridle, J. Lynch, A. Bissett, Finch. M.Gillespie, N. McKay and M. Herewini,Rotorua, provide a field who will ex-tend each other to the utmost. J. Fer-guson will retain his polo vault titleand may set a fresh Auckland record.

The ladies' events will create in-terest and provide close racing, butMiss J. McConnell looks the most likelywinner at present, with most opposi-tion coming from Miss M. Mullins andMiss If. Dawson. Miss .lean Armour'sretuVn to form at To Awamutu on Mon-day, however, indicates that she shouldbe in the picture.

There will be the usual club rivalryfor the championship banner, and atpresent, it appears that Technical, theholder, will again fight out, the resultwith fheir old rivals, the AucklandClub,

AUSTRALIAN TENNIS

DAVIS CUP SELECTIONThe president of the Australian Lawn

Tennis Association, Mr. NormanBrookes, said recently that tho Aus-tralian team to challenge for the DavisCup would comprise not less thanthree, and not more than four players.Tho selectors would make their recom-mendations to tho council after thoAustralian championships in Sydney.He added that Crawford, McGrath,and Quist were certainties, but if fourwore to bo sent, tho other selectionwould likely bo in doubt until after theAustralian cliampionships.

Gerald Patterson summed up theposition, says a Sydney writer, whenhe said that the selection would besimplified if either three or five menwere chosen. In the latter case, Hop-man and Turnbull would both accgm-pany tho team, but if only four wereto be selected, the issue would dependupon these two players finding suitabledoubles partners,.

■This year's British amateur coll'championship is sot down for Frestwiek.{i famous Scottish course, the week com-mencing May 12. The British openchampionship is scheduled at No.valGeorge's, Sandwich, on June 23.

W. J. Coatcs, a prominent Aucklandcriekotor and a member of the man-agement committee of the AucklandCricket Association, is at present inhospital recovering from an operationfor appendicitis. Coates was taken illvery suddenly.

Trevor Wignall, a loading Englishsports commentator places RujibyUnion and Bugby League fullbacks hehas soon in the following order ofmerit:—1, W. J. Bancroft; 2, H. T.Gamlin, 3, J. Sullivan; 4, Nepia; 5,Owen-Smith; 6, Marsburg.

Bocontlv a golfer hit his ball into thekitchen premises at the Blackmoor GolfClub, and after a number of ricochet-ting adventures it llnally came to restin a pot of potatoes. The unhappyplayer, after considering -the situation,gave up the hole. An English humoristsuggests that the player should haveused his spoon.

"Few champions are beaten at theirbest." said the former world's heavy-weight boxing champion, Jack Dompsey."Any champion in his prime is a hardman to beat. How many championshave been beaten in their prime? Notmany! It is when a champion is begin-ning to slip and is getting old that someyoungster comes along and kicks himoff." How true!

The defeat of Hampson and Barwickinto second places in the Australianathletic, championship, came as a sur-prise, but as; the times were fast andthe finishes close, they have lost noth-ing in reputation. A feature of thelong jump was that the three placedmen all cleared ever 22 feet. Anotheroutstanding performance was that ofMcLardy in winning the 120 yardshurdles in 14 9-10s.

The French Lawn Tennis authoritieshave been very busy of late delving intothe amateur question, and one re-sult of activities is likely to betho authorising of matches betweenamateurs and professionals by the In-ternational Lawn Tennis Association.The French have pressed very stronglyfor this innovation and are confidentthat they have done enough to force thehand of the association

The hopes of Wellington swimmingenthusiasts that I. W. Cameron wouldwin the 100 yards championship of NewZealand next month have been dis-pelled by his return to Sydney. Cam-eron, who was the national championin 1929, had been swimming well, andlast month won the 50 yards Welling-ton championship in time equalling theDominion record. He first wont toSydney in 1929 and was rated so highlythat, although a New Zealauder, hewas selected as one of Australia's repre-sentatives at the British Empire Gamesin 1930.

J. Goodman, who is the present opengolf champion of America, which titlelie won in competition with all thefamous American professionals, is thefourth ox-caddie to become open cham-pion as an amateur. The others were"Chick" Evans, Francis Ouimet andJerome Travers. Goodman is a youthof 24, from Omaha in the State ofNebraska. He is said to be a jaunty,fearless player. As a youngster of 20.Goodman, who attended cattle on rail-May trains us a means of paying hisfares to golf tournaments, spraug intoprominence by beating the great BobbyJones in the amateur championship.

The intermediate swimming championof New Zealand, N. Crump, put up ahigh class performance last \veek whenhe lowered his own Dominion recordfor 440 to 5m 14 4-ss. This timewas only 1 2-os slower than G. Brid-son's senior record. But what dis-tinguished Crump's performance wastlio fact that the national senior cham-pionship lias never been won in time asfast as his, not oven by Bridson andD. P. Lindsay. It is now consideredlikely that Crump will be selected torepresent Auckland in the quarter-mile at the Dominion championshipmeeting in Christ-church next month.

The Australian Board of Control hasdecided to pay the £OOO bonus tocricketers selected for the tour of Eng-land, as follows:—£100 (in Australianmoney) to each of the players beforeleaving Australia; £.'550 in Englishmoney, to each in England; and £l5Oin Australian money, to each on theirreturn to Australia. The players prob-ably expected to benefit more by theexchange. The £350 which is proposedto be paid to each of the players ontour in England will be worth £437 10son the return to Australia on the basisof tho present exchange rate of 25 percent. Tho Rugby League footballers leftAustralia with the understanding thatthev would be given the fiill benefitof the 25 per cent exchange.

A familiar figure in tho bowlingworld has recently passed away in the

person of the late Mr. John Jenkin, aBocky Nook player. Mr. Jenkin playedmany important parts in his bowlinglife, chief of which was his occupancy'of tho position of tester to the localcentre for a long term of years. In con-nection with this position ho came incontact with a large number of bowlers,and he could at all times meet thewhims and idiosyncrasies of the typesof people he had to deal with. Mr.Jenkin was a small man with a genialnature, and he lived to a ripe old age.His three sous, Arthur, William andHerbert, followed their father's ex-ample in taking up bowls as a pastime,and all are good exponents of the game.Mr. Jenkin was president of the RockyNook Club for a term of three years.

" Anxious," Onphun ga, inquires re-garding cricket,: —" A ball boats thebat and hits the wicket, displacing abail from the off stunt]). In falling theend of the bail is caught by tho stumpand the bail falls back into position,Ik the batsman out? Or, alternately,if a bail is displaced from the grooveis the batsman out?"—The batsman isout when a bail has been displaced.The M.C.C. committee at a meetingheir] at Lord's on June 15, 1931, de-cided that an umpire would be justifiedin ruling that part of a bail has been"struck off" if, as a result of thewicket being hit, any part of eitherbail has been disturbed from itsoriginal position on tho top of thestum ps.—Athletic Editor.

An Australian athletic writer saidafter the New South Wales champion-ships of J. P. Metcalfe, who will com-pete .in New Zealand shortly: The starof tho day was J. F. Metcalfe, SydneyUniversity. His great performancesadded further proof that he is rapidlyrising to world pre-eminence us ajumper and consolidated his claim to

With ease he carriod off thothree main jumping events—the hop,step, and jump (50ft. 2in., 4in. outsidohis Australian'and State record), run-ning high jump (6ft. 3jin.), and therunning broad jurrp (24ft. OJin.). Inthe last-named event ho eclipsed boththe Australian and New South Walesrecords decisively, his record-makingleap being a gem—a perfect jump.

ATHLETIC SPORTSBOWLING NOTES

holiday tournaments

STANDARDISATION OF BOWLS

ANNUAL FIXTURE AT ROTORUA

The ideal conditions on Saturdayvere fully enjoyed by a very largenumber of bowlers. The greens nowhave that degree of liveliness whichmakes for careful play and good bowl-ing.

The many holiday tournaments andopen events were successfully carriedout. the fine weather being a materialfactor. On the Auckland Club'sgreens, where 36 teams competed in an

open contest, a busy scene was pre-sented and some very fine play re-sulted. Another well-patronised eventwas the Balmoral-Mount Eden opentourney, played 011 the Mount Edengreens, which were in their usual goodorder. , A very enjoyable tournamentyras played at Takapuna.

The three club events at West Endfcr the Hardley memorial, Onehungafor the Buchanan Cup, and Carltonwere Avell patronised by club members.

The half-yearly meeting of theCouncil of the New Zealand BowlingAssociation was held in Dunedin atthe time of the annual tourney, and afair amount of business was trans-act ed, chiefly of a routine nature. Themost interesting item was the discus-sion on the bowl question with regardto size and weight. Eight of the sit-ting members were not present, buttlit" ten who met unanimously ap-proved of the following motion: —

"That this meeting strongly recom-mends the annual meeting to approvethat the council adopt the Australianweight for size of bowls, such regula-tion to .apply solely to compositionbowls and any wooden bowls that havebeen loaded in any manner."

This is a step nearer to somethingbeing done in the matter of standard-isation of bowls. Although the ordinarywooden bowls—those which ha\ e notbeen tampered with in the way of im-proving the weight—are exempt fromthe proposal, the ride will at leasteliminate the use of the composition"bullet" bowl. The latter has alwaysbeen the "bugbear" of users of thewooden bowl, and there is no doubtthat under certain conditions its useis decidedly unfair.

Regarding the loaded wooden bowlwhich will come under the proposedban, the position will bo that therewill be some government of how farsuch loading can go. The matter willthus remain in abeyance until theannual meeting to be held in Aucklandin July. Then, no doubt, there will besomething done to meet what is fastgrowing an imperative demand by themajority of tournament bowlers tohave sopie law and order in the mat-ter of bowls.

The matter of representation of theDominion on the International BowlingBoard was dealt with, and Mi". IvorB. Thomas, Wales, was reappointed.In the case of the other representative,who must be a resident of New Zea-land, nominations are to be called tor.Usually a player who happens to bevisiting abroad is appointed. This yearthe meeting will be held in Ireland inJuly.

The council's decision was ratherstrange'when dealing with a member'sidea that members of the council ormembers of centre executives shouldbe given power to challenge any bowlat any time. It was left to the memberto frame a notice of motion on the fore-going linos for the annual meeting todeal with. There is really no necessityfor this, as the existing legislation givesample power to deal with the question.

The secretary of the New ZealandAssociation has received advice regard-ing the South Australian Bowling Car-nival to be held in Adelaide, commenc-ing on March 5. The South AustralianBowling Association would like sixteenNew/Zealand players at least to take

annual veterans' outing will beheld on the Auckland green to-morrow(Thursday). Any bowler who is 70years of age or 21 years a player, maytake part.

RIFLE SHOOTINGAUCKLAND CHAMPIONSHIP

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCESThe sixtieth meeting of the Auck-

land Rifle Association, held .at Penroseon Monday, was an unqualified success.Entries exceeded expectations, therebeing a heavjr quota from North Auck-land, while other country clubs withinn reasonable distance were wall repre-sented. The weather was very hot forshooting, hut the left wind caused farless trouble than usual and visibilitywas excellent throughout. The standardof marksmanship set by the competi-tors was probably higher than has beent>een'before at Penrose, two men whoaveraged 46 per range being placedtogether in eleventh position in thegrand aggregate, which speaks forjtself.

H. Sinimonds, who won the cham-pionship, had an average of a pointover 48 to his credit. This was an out-standing performance, even for a manof his calibre, and his victory was over-due. F. Bowes and A. G. Devore werein second place three points away, thefirst-named being in a position to tiewith Simmonds with only four shots togo at 900yds. He has made remarkableprogress in the few years he lias beenshooting, and is the "find" of recentyears in Auckland.

Devore, who is an indifferent shotin his club, is a very different proposi-tion in a championship meeting, find, asusual, supplied the sensation of the daylit the long ranges. On Monday he beatall his previous records by scoring adouble possible, a teat only once bcroreachieved on the local range since theintroduction of the high velocity am-munition. ... ,

W. Sutherland, of DargaviJlo, alsomade an excellent showing at the longranges, where he dropped two pointsonly in twenty shots. E. J. C. Restonshot very solidly throughout, while JJ.Calder would have been very close Mtho leaders but for striking trouble atSQO yards. , . , T

Of the visiting rillemen, W. Nornswas prominent right through, while I'.

C. Hubbard, although below his bestform, was well placed. Tho majorityof the country members shot as ios,and in this grade they filled most of thoplaces, besidos winning all five matches.-I'his was probably tjie most pleasingfeature of tho meeting. In addition,the experience gained in championshipshooting will prove invaluable, especi-ally to the younger marksmen, severalof whom give the impression that theywill develop into marksmen well abovethe average. Given similar support rrointhe country clubs in future, the associa-tion will need to consider the advisa-bility of running a, two days' meeting.

The City Club retained tho covetedWaihi rooster, which is held by thechampion team, but, as timo did notpermit of a separate coached shoot,considerable interest in the competitionwas lost. Under a capable coach ayoung and inexperienced team wouldbe quite capable of winning,.and this

a further argument in favour<Pi * two shoot.

SWIMMING ITEMS

AUCKLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS

KEEN RACES ANTICIPATED

PROSPECTS OF COMPETITORSNew Zealand records should be

broken and stirring races contested atthe Auckland championship carnival forsenior swimmers in the Tepid Bathsnext Tuesday evening. Performances atthe carnival will govern the personnelof the team to represent Auckland atthe national championship meeting 111Christehurch on February 17, 19 and21. Of greater inspiration to contest-ants will be their desire to bo sent tothe British Empire Games in Londonnext August.

The races the public appreciate most,the 100 yards men's and ladies' cham-pionships, should fulfil all expectationsof speed and excitement. The best-known aspirants for the men's title arethe holder, R. Thomas, holder of thoNew Zealand championship, R. Frank-ham, the Dominion intermediate cham-pion, N. Crump, and the Rotoruasprinter, AV. Whareaitu, who wasrunner-up to Frankham in tho NewZealand championship last season.

Among tho lady sprinters will beMiss M. Farquhar, holder of the Auck-land and New Zealand title, Miss B.Lewin. runner-up to the AustralianMiss Frances Bult in the recent testrace, tho Dominion intermediate girlchampion, Miss E. Rainey, Miss S.Grange and Miss M. Leydon.

Tho 100 yards men's contest willprobably be the most thrilling race.Thomas is the joint holder with W.Cameron, Wellington, of the New Zea-land senior record, 55 4-ss, and thisis the time established by Crump asthe intermediate record. On form thisseason Frankham and Crump have thebest prospects of victory, Frankham,in the opinion of most enthusiasts,being favoured. He has not been seenracing over the distance this season,but his brilliant sprinting lately at 50yards and 66 2-3 yards points to hiseclipsing his best time, sfe. However,when Crump made his intermediaterecord three weeks ago 110 won by fiveyards, so that under the intense com-petition ho should swim faster than55 4-os. Thomas' form has been uncon-vincing, although ho has improved dur-ing the last fortnight. Whareaitu is un-likely to defeat the Aucklanders, butshould be close to them at the finish.

220 Yards TitleCruinp, Frankham and Thomas will

have a great tussle for the 220 yardschampionship. Frankham's senior re-cord is 2m 22 l-ss, and Crump's inter-mediate record is only two-fifths of asecond slower. The furlong demandssprint ing speed combined with stamina.All three have the speed, but Crumpappears to have tho stronger staminaand should therefore take the title.

Miss Farquhar is in danger of losingher 100 yards title. She began theseason poorly, and, although steadilyimproving, lias not yet regained thoform that last season enabled her toset the national record of 64 4-os. MissLewin is considered her strongest rival.Apart from being the runner-up toMiss Farquhar in the last New Zea-land championship, she registered65 2-5s in filling second place to MissFrances Bult in the test race twomonths ago. On the face of this per-formance, Miss Lewin should disputeevery inch of the distance with MissFarquhar. Misses'Leydon, Grange andRainey all take about 675, so that aslight lapse by either Miss Farquharor Miss Lewin may mean defeat.

Miss Farquhar seems likely to haveher 220 yards championship wrestedfrom her by Miss Leydon. The latterhas been swimming middle-distances ex-ceptionally well lately, and, as she hasadequate stamina, should go close tobreaking Miss Farquhar's record of 2m465. Misses N. Ludlow, Rainey andLewin should be well up to Misses Ley-don and Farquhar.

At backstroke, keen rivalry existsbetween Misses Farquhar, the cham-pion, and Lewin. Each has a goodchance of bettering Miss E. Stockley'srecord for the 100 yards, 76 2-s^.

In the 220 yards ladies' brcaststroke,Miss J. Webster is certain to lowerher record, 3in 27 3-ss.

Exponent of BreaststrokeJ. Magee is again safe from defeat

in the 220 yards men's breaststrokechampionship. He is the best male ex-ponent of the stroke in Auckland andshould not be seriously troubled by hisopponents, of whom P. Shanahan isthe one most likely to fill second place.

A. Raper, the 150 yards men's back-stroke champion for the last threoyears, will need to swim his hardestto withstand the challenge of C. Bu-chanan. A third competitor will boWhareaitu. Those who have seen himswimming the stroke at Rotor na re-gard him as an unusually accomplishedexponent, and consider that he is cer-tain to win the race next Tuesday inrecord time for New Zealand. He can-not, however, hold the title, benansehe is affiliated to the South AucklandCentre.

The first stage of tho men's divingchampionship will be decided on thelow board. The high-board dives willbe taken later at tho Mount EdenBaths. In view of his displays at re-cent carnivals, the title-holder, W.Hassan, will no doubt obtain the mostpoints.

FEAT AT GOLF

A TWO AT THE 18th

L. J. Scott, a member of the BonnieDoon Golf Club, caused excitement atthat club recently, says a Sydneywriter, when ho secured a two at tho18th hole, which is 380 yards from theteo. The feat earned him £lO 10s, givenby a fellow-member, Mr. L. E. Gan-non, and 50 tees, the result of a wagerwith tho two golfers with whom heplayed the round.

The previous week Mr. Gannon, a

well-known solicitor, partnered S. Wil-son when tho latter secured a two atthe 18th hole. On his return to theclubhouse Mr. Gannon offered £lO 10sto the first member to repeatWilson'sperformance. When Scott performed thefeat, with the aid ' a drive and amashie, Mr. Gannon was surprised.Another member, J. R. Clark, missedsecuring a two at the same hole byonly threo inches.

CRICKET PARADOX

LOSS OF WICKET MAKES TIE

Tho second eleven pennant cricketmatch between Fitzroy and South Mel-bourne recently created a paradox. Itresulted in a tie, each side scoring 121runs. The last Fitzroy wicket fell tothe sixth ball of the last over of thoday. Under the rules the match wasa tie and each side will take 1£ points.

Had the Fitzroy batsman played outtime and the score sheet had shownSouth Melbourne 121 runs, and Jitzroynine wickets for 121 runs, the game,by a ruling of tho Victorian CricketAssociation, would have been regardedas a draw and neither side would havoscored a premiership point. Thus Fitz-roy, by losing a wicket, gained 1A pre-pmiership .points.'

ROWING SEASON/ f

REGATTA AT HAMILTON

HOME CLUB HEADS WINNINGS

CLOSE FINISHES WITNESSED

Keen racing of a high standard andstirring finishes were the predominatingfeatures of the Hamilton Regatta, whichwas held on the Waikato River 011 Mon-day last. In almost every race the issuewas in doubt until the judge wasreached, and it was unfortunate thatan unpleasant misty rain should haveprevailed during the early portion ofthe programme. In spite of this, how-ever, the attendance was fairly goodand the programme was expeditiouslycompleted. Throughout the day thepublic was fully informed of the pro-cedure of events, while each race wasdescribed from beginning to end by aningenious broadcasting system.

Of the nine inter-club events 011 theprogrammo Hamilton was successful intwo and dead-heated with St. George'sin another, while it was successful inthe eight-oar contest for the Somer-ville Shield with St. George's. TheTauranga Club, which has experiencedthe greatest success at other regattastiiis season, won two events, as alsodid St. George's, while "West End,Auckland and Waitemata each had one

win. The donations were well distri-buted. being shared as follows: Hamil-ton, £35; Auckland, £l6; Tauranga,£ls; St. George's, £l2; West End,£11; Waitemata, £5; Ngaruawahia, £3.

I The much anticipated senior fourschampionship contest saw the presentDominion champion crew, Auckland, re-tain its provincial title. Stroked by R.G. Barker, of Waitemata, the crew fin-ished remarkably fresh and won withconsummate ease. The Hamilton formerchampion crew appears to be losing itsdash and was never dangerous. St.George's, which was four lengths be-hind "Hamilton, may have been closer,but it lost any chance it had whenthe coxwain unnecessarily changed hiscourse in the early singes. Although,giving a plucky performance Taurangawas outdistanced. This success 110 doubtenhances the Auckland Club s chanceof retaining "the Rooster" the symbolof the premier four-oared title in theDominion—at the championship regattaat Picton on February 17.

Somerville Shield Contest

The eight-oar contest for the Somer-ville Shield was a remarkably interest-ing contest with neither crew able tomake much impression upon the otherover the complete distance. As thecrews approached the finish in anenthralling duel, St. George's 011 thefar bank was rowing with capital zest,while Hamilton on the town side of theriver, rowing really well, was coveringa lot of water. When the judge wasreached, both crews nnd the spectatorsappeared dubious of the result, llie 'ver-

dict, however, was in favour of Hamil-ton, which at tho moment was makinga stroke, whereas St. George's was re-covering, and the latter's boat was con-sequently stopping, while Hamilton s

craft was springing forward. _ .St. George's, the champion junior

crew of the province, received a set-back in its class, being well defeatedby the muscular Hamilton lads, withTauranga in second position.

The West End light maidens, afterwandering all over the river, won itsclass once more in one of the mostsnectaeular finishes witnessed on theWaikato. This crew will probably com-pete at the New Zealand championshipregatta at Pietou.

The most gruelling finish of the daywas provided by St. George's andNgaruawahia in the spectacularly con-tested maiden double sculls event. Overthe final quarter the St. George's pair,

H. St. Glair Brown and D. Woollanis,who had led throughout, were chal-lenged by Ngaruawahia, and as themark was approached, it appeared any-body's race. St. George's maintaineda margin of inches and created the sur-prise of the day, as it was generallyanticipated that both Tauranga, whichfinished third, and Ngaruawahia wouldbeat them.

Dead-heat RecordedIn a vigorous effort to atone for pre-

vious defeats St. George's youths stageda relentless battle with Hamilton in theyouths' class. The unusual occurrenceof a dead-lieat resulted.

R. B. Smith, former Dominion cham-pion singles sculler, went a splendidraco in the singles handicap fromscratch. Sculling in first-rate fashion

' he had to go hard to beat by a fewfeet J. H. Plummer, who also per-formed well. Early in the race C.D'Authreau had the misfortune to hit asnag with one of his sculls.

; Tho heavy maidoti fours was won byHamilton from a field of nine, Auck-land scoring its third second placing inthis class this season. Tauranga, whichwon at Tauranga and Rotorua, finishedthird.

,...

Inter-club races on the harbour willtake place next Saturday. Tho St.George's Club will control a contest forthe Henry Brett Memorial Cup, whiletho Auckland Rowing Club will controlthe contest for the Maurice Caro Cup.The Smith Shield will bo contested andthis event will bo held under theauspices of tho Waitemata Boating

BRILLIANT GOLFER

OFFER TO MISS WETHERED

Miss Joyce Wethered, tho well-knownEnglish lady golfer, recently authorisedan emphatic denial of tho rumour thatshe intended to undertake a tour giv-ing exhibition games, for which pay-ment would bo made. Any such arrange-ment would definitely make her a full-blown professional, for which status shehas no intention of qualifying. "1 amcontent and happy in my present job, '

stated Miss Wethered, "and I am notcontemplating throwing it up." Herposition is that of an adviser in thosports department of a London storoin the West End.

Possibly the rumour may have orig-

inated during tho visit to Britain oftho last American Ryder Cup team,when Robert Harlow, tho team's mana-ger, who has also acted as manager forHagcn, approached Miss Wethered withan "offer to tour tho United Statesand play exhibition matches. The olferwas declined.

Thero can be little doubt that AltssWethered, if she consented to playunder some such arrangement, wouldbe an immensely popular draw, andthe view is strongly held that she alono

\ among woman players would be ableto give a first-class game to the world shost players. Miss Enid Wilson, for ex-ample, candidly considers Miss Weth-ered to be six strokes ahead of anywoman player in tho world, and goeson to say that "to describe her gamoas mechanical is hardly flattering, be-cause her golf is more accurate thananv machine devised by tho mind olmankind."

This tribute, from a woman who wasthreo times British champion, is praiseindeed. Coming shortly after MissWethered's victory in the Worpledonmixed foursomes, Miss Wilson's com-ment in tho Golf Monthly went on tosay that in eight successive rounds ofgolf Miss Wethered had played only twoimperfect strokes.

Tho well-known reference by R. i.Jones to Miss WT othercd's superb skillwas not prompted by any mere wish toappear gallant. Wly?n told by an ad-mirer that ho was tho greatest goiterin the world, Jones said: "No, sir; thisis a title belonging to a woman —Joyce

YACHT RACINGCONTEST FOR UPTON CUP

KOMURI'S GOOD PERFORMANCE

MACKY MEMORIAL TROPHY

BT SriNDKIFTThe weather conditions on Saturday

were ideal for the annual inter-clubcontest for tho Lipton Gup. A fieshwesterlv breeze blew from st&.t to

finish, enabling all the competitors tocomplete the course in good tune. ini

start was rather a poor one, most orthe boats being late in crossing thelino. Spinnakers were set at gun-nioami carried for the greater part of the

first leg of the course. After returning

from Saltworks beacon in BangitotoChannel sheets were brought nboaid at

North Head and from there the boatshad a beat up to St. Mary s boat har-

b°Earlv in the race it could be seenthe- Komuri, which carried a new JJei-mudian mainsail, would be hard tobeat. In the early part of the seasonher owners decided to adopt the modernrig for Komuri, but when she made herfirst appearance it did not come up oexpectations. The boat was tried outin several club events, but she faded tosatisfy her owners, who then decidedto order another new Bermudian main-sail. She was given her first opportun-ity to make a name for herself underher present mainsail on Saturday, andthis she undoubtedly did m the chargeof F. Lidgard. Komuri took the leadfrom tho start, and held it until reach-ing the Sandspit beacon, where Rakoapassed her.

Position RegainedKomuri, however, regained her posi-

tion soon after rounding Head,

and although Valeria and Eakoa chal-lenged her in the channel she held heradvantage for tho remainder of thecourse. At one stage \ aleria gained a

little on her, but Lidgard soon realisedthis and worked wind and tide to ad-vantage, which enabled him to go awayagain from Valeria. .

Komuri's win was very popular, andher owners are to be congratulatedupon their success after so many dis-appointments in past years. Ihe con-tests for the cup have now been heldfor 13 years, and this is the first occa-sion on which the Ponsonby CruisingClub (owners of the cup) has Avon theh

Messrs. Winstone Bros.' Nga-Toaadded another win to her credit in theKoval New Zealand Yacht Squadron srace for the Mack.v Memorial Trophyon Saturday. Rawene aud Nga-loamade a close race right round thecourse. At one Rawene had al-most her time on Nga-Toa, and theissuo was in doubt until the finishingline was crossed. Ngn:Toa, which wasallowing Rawene 55s under themeasurement rule, finished 58s aheadof her rival, and thus gained the ver-dict by tho narrow margin of threeseconds, lorangi, which secured thirdplace, boat Nga-Toa "in" by lin ols.Victory had the disadvantage of start-ing Ira 12s late, and during the racecarried away her jib. In spite of herbad luck, however, she crossed thefinishing line 4m 39s ahead of Moana.

SPORT OF CYCLING

FIELDS AT PAPATOETOE

TWO OUTSTANDING RIDERSCompetitions were provided by the

Papatoetoc, Ellerslie, Auckland and TeAwamutu Clubs for the amateur cyclistsduring tho past week. The big pro-gramme at the Papatoetoe Stadiumbanked asphalt track was splendidlyconducted and tho last of the 31 eventswas run off to time. No spills occurred,although large fields lined up for mostof the events.

The handicaps all concluded withclose finishes. Only inches separated A.W. Beeston, 80yds, the winner of thehalf-mile, from R. T. Taylor, 35yds, whorode a great race. Beeston shaped wollconsidering ho had not raced on thotrack previously. Ho joined up withthe Manukau Club last month. Beestonconies from Whangarei, where lie raceda few seasons back.

The youngest of the four Dwightbrothers who race, C. T. Dwight,secured another win on Saturday whenhe won tho two miles off 200yds.Although only a junior rider Dwightpossesses ample speed and unusualjudgment.

The two miles scratch race was de-cided on points. Tho leader at tho endof each lap received one point, whiletho placed men at the conclusion re-ceived three, two and one, respectively.The pace was on from the start. H.11. Dwight gained the initial lap, M.P. Byrnes the next, then .1. W. Clarkwent out fast and claimed tho next twowhen L. H. Dwight overhauled hi inand went on to win the next five insuccession. H. It. Dwight Avon tho con-cluding lap and therefore tied with hisbrother with 5 points. The time was4m 30s, which was really fast for a raceof this typo.

The two Dwight brothers who com-peted in this event have been particu-larly outstanding during this season.Team work has been a noticeablefeature of their racing.

EXTREME BATHING SUITS

FASHION'S LATEST " FAD "

ADHERENTS IN AUCKLAND

SUN-BURN AND EVENING DRESS

BY EILEEN BUSTTho girl of to-day is undoubtedly a

creature of contradictions. Throughoutthe summer months sho wears a briefand backless bathing costume, vicingeagerly with her sisters in her effortsto acquire the perfect sun-tan, and allthe winter she spends her time in adesperate endeavour to get rid of it.

Tho occasion arrives for donning anevening frock and anxious pirouettingin front of a long mirror reveals deoplysun-tanned back and shoulders, whichan evening frock fails to hide, while anarrow white line down the centre oftho back or over each shoulder makes adisfiguring mark where the straps ofthe bathing suit have spoiled the sportof the sun.

Girls in Auckland, on the whole, donot seem to have gone in for tho veryextremo type of bathing costume asdepicted in photographs taken atbeaches in tho South of Franco andother Continental watering places.However, when extreme styles are pro-duced in any type of garment there arealways some who adopt it whole-heartedly. Such is the case in Auck-land, although the majority of girlswho favour the extreme style of bath-ing suit wear them only at a privatebeach and not on the more public ones,such as Milford or Takapuna. The headof a large drapery establishment inAuckland said yesterday that the tend-ency of buyers of bathing costumeswas for the backless ones—a rathermodified version of the extreme styles.

Merely lor Beach ParadeAs in the case of all conflicts oyer

our long-suffering modern girl, opinionis divided, however. An Auckland maleswimming champion is strongly againsttheir latest "fad," describing the newswimming suits as quite "over theodds.Tr "What I describe as real swim-mers do not wear them," he said."They arc merely for beach parade."Tho suggestion that they might possesssonio sound or practical advantageover the more conservative style ofbathing suit for champion swimmerswas firmly negatived. On the contrary,lie said, the shoulder-straps of such cos-tumes were apt to slip over the arms,with the consequent result of imped-ing a swimmer's speed. Competitiveswimmers were ruled by internationallaws in the matter of correct attire forswimming matches or carnivals, theircostumes being cut not more than 6in.from the neckline. The laws had latelybeen relaxed to allow the suits to becut well away from under the arms toallow of more freedom, but the ex-tremely backless suits would, he hoped,never be worn by swimmers of anynote in New Zealand.

Inward TrepidationDoes the modern girl glory in a sense

of freedom when she' dons a bathingcostume whose size would allow it tobe carried with ease in a pocket? Itwould be interesting to know whethershe is entirely unseifconscious of, andimpervious to, the interest and criti-cism she attracts when she parades thebeach in a brief bathing suit, orwhether she is secretly aware of it. Itis a significant fact that a girl sobriefly garbed seldom walks the beachalone, being accompanied either bymore girls similarly clad or by a malecompanion, Whose hurried steps indi-cate an urgent desire to reach a de-stination at the earliest possiblemoment and to sink into the friendlyprivacy of the sand. It is possible thata girl requires to gather up a lot ofcourage before she walks from thebeach to the water's edge, the cynosureof all eyes—some amused, some admir-ing and some frankly antagonistic—-and that the adoption of an air ofnonchalant ease masks an inwardtrepidation not caused by the coldnessof the water in which she is about toplunge.

Truly the girl of to-day has to bearthe brunt of much adverse criticism, atthe root of which lies the one word"fashion." There is no doubt thatwomen are the abject slaves of thiscapricious person and each season sheputs them more severely to the test.Many fall by the wayside, havingreached the limit of endurance tocritical glances and sarcastic comments,but some are made of sterner stuff—-tho wearers, for instance, of the bras-siere and trunks style of bathing suit.

A CAPTIVATING SERIAL

CHAPTER XXll.—(Continued)Would her flow of invective never

cease! I looked appealingly at Malinka.He was frowning, and I did not believeit was because of me. After all, thoughmy enemy, he was a man, and wouldunderstand as a man. Doubtless hisenmity wag strong; ho would kill with-out compunction, placidly, coldly,recognising the necessity of ridding him-self of a danger. But this woman's in-credible abuse, her vicious display ofungovernable rage proved too mucheven for him.

He stepped toward her, tapped herlightly on the shoulder, and said rathersternly, " That will do. The rest is inmy hands."

"You hear that, Leathermouth ? Inhis hands, in the hands of JosephMalinka. You can guess what thatmeans—Joseph Malinka, who has beencheated by you so often. He loves you,Leathermouth, he adores you. If hewere a woman he would worship you—-like Ella."

"Finish," he said, "and get out!You aro mad; you weary me."

She sprang to her feet, a flush ofauger dyeing her face and neck. Ithought she was going to retort 011

him. Instead, sho laughed that softlaugh in her throat and turned to me.

" Good-bye, Leathermouth—and bonvoyage."

With that she flung from the room,the others following her, Malinka last.He did not even look at me again.

For hours I was left alorio. I couldnot fathom the meaning of this. Thatthey intended to kill me I hadn't thefaintest doubt; but why this delay?What was the meaning of it? My be-mused brain, the only thing seeminglyleft alive in me, tried to grapple withthe problem. Though I strained everyeffort to retain consciousness there wereperiods when it wholly deserted me.Then I would wake suddenly and tryto think. Why didn't they come andmake an end of 111c*5 Had they deter-mined to let me die like this, to fadeout slowly? I had a feeling that whenthe end did come it would be painless.

Was that the night coming, or wasmy sight failing? Shadows seemed tocross the little window, to fill theroom. Then suddenly out of those shad-ows I saw her again. She was standingover me, her face very white, her lipsa streak of scarlet.

" I've come to have one more lookat you, Leathermouth," sho was say-ing.

So she hadn't finished with me yet!I remembered the threat. What was tobe that finish? Had she come to burnout my eyes?

" Well," I answered, " take yourfill."

" You have ceased to care?"" Quite."" As well for you. They've only been

waiting for the night.""Is it come?"" It's coming."" Good."" Any moment now they maj' bo

here."" Tell them to come quickly.""No more hope of rescue?" she

mocked." None."" As well. You see now what thwart-

ing me means?"" Please go," I told her." This is the end, Leathermouth."Wearily I looked past her to the

window, She was standing with herback to it, looking down at mo, herwonderful turquoise-blue eyes glowingdarkly, and for a moment I thought itwas her figure that had cast the sud-den deeper shadow across the room.Looking again at the window itseemed to me that I dimly perceived aface! Yet how could this be; what facecould be there? I was dreaming again.I strained, but the window was empty.Was I in my right mind, or sufferingfrom the hallucination of hope?

" They will be here when it's quitedark," she was saying as she glidedlike a ghost toward the door. " Sayyour prayers, Leathermouth —if you re-member them."

She passed out, closing the door be-hind her. Once more I turned to thewindow. There was the face again—-and it was making signs to me!

Followed a terrible apprehensivemoment or two that almost robbed meof what little strength was left. Dis-tinctly I heard the prising of the win-dow, which almost immediately flewopen. A dark heavy body projected it-self into the room."All right, sir?" it asked.

' " Yes."Ib was Albert! Ho had come! Until

the last moment I had always believedhe would.

Quick as thought he dashed acrossthe room, seized the chair and jammedit under the lock of tho door. Eoturn-ing as swiftly to me he opened hisclasp-knifo and began to cut my bonds.As ho did this he was saying, hisvoice seeming to come from a vastdistance. " The place is surrounded.Mr. Wally and Mr. Mayford are herowith the police. There , you ar.e, sir;that's all right. Ah!"

This exclamation was caused by asudden pounding on the door and thecries of excited angry voices demand-ing admittance. •

My last recollection, before I fnjntedclean away, was that of his springingto his feet, drawing his revolver, andstanding guard over mo.

From Wally and George, inLer-sperscd with an appropriate commentfrom Albert, I heard tho story as Ilay on my sofa in Cork Street. Thanksto my possession of a sturdy constitu-tion I was not much the worso for mypainful ordeal. Though I had faintedI was sensible of a quick return toconsciousness, a fit of coughing, andmore stimulant being poured betweenmy lips. Then a sort of dream ride ina car, and Albert in his shirtsleevesmassaging my burning limbs, and Ifeebly begging him to desist, tho re-turn of blood to my extremities beingalmost unbearable.

There was George, red and smiling,smoking tho inevitable cigar; Wally,serious-eyed, looking down at me,Albert hovering in tho vicinity playinghis part of. ministering angel.

"Nice dance you led ns," saidGeorge, shaking his big head reprov-ingly.

" Sure,' 1 said Wally." Another mouthful of bovril, sir,"

suggested Albert.Don't worry; I'm all right. Tell

me what happened."" To-morrow," said George."No; now!"And this is what they told me.The note I had left on my mantel-

piece saying I had gone to TrentbamCourt was found by Albert, who hadreturned about an hour after my de-parture. Acting with his usual speedho at once prepared to set oat after me,end was lucky enough to meet Wallyalighting from his car at my door. Afew words of explanation and theywere speeding toward Kensington.

Here fortune favoured them. Asthey pulled up at tho entrance to theflat, Ella appeared carrying a suitcase.

(COPYRIGHT)

Her obvious embarrassment arousedsuspicion. Slio was questioned closely,and declared that she had not seenme. Wally told her frankly that shewas lying. She professed indignation.

" He left a note saying lie was com-ing to see you," she was informed.

" Then Kg must have changed hismind," she maintained.

"He don't chango his mind likethat. You say he's not up there in theflat?"

" I say he has never been thereto-night."

" Well, we'll go and find out; andyou're coining with us."

" You can save yourselves thetrouble," slio said; " he's not there."

" But he has been?"" I don't know; I never saw him. I

only know he's not there now."" Anyway, you're coming along to

Scotland Yard."Still protesting, she was bundled into

the car and driven to the Yard. Arriv-ing there, George was rung up andhappily found at home. He promised tocome along at once.

Though his questioning of her wasstern slio maintained her poso of ignor-ance. She had not seen ine that night;slio could not understand why I shouldhave said I was going to TrenthamCourt, unless it was to see Teddie.This explanation not being thoughtfeasible, she was told that tho seriouscharge of blackmail was hanging overher; that she and her history wereknown; that 110 *S\lr. Bannerton hadbeen killed in a motor accident; that,in fact, there never had been a Mr.Bannerton.

llemaining obdurate, Gcorgo as-sumed tho resonsibilty of having herwell guarded for tho rest of tho night,and in the morning resumed his ex-amination. But she still professed toknow nothing, though not quite soobdurately.

However, lato in the afternoon achange came over her, possibly due toofficial assurance of protection. Then,between hope and terror, she told thotruth; or perhaps not all, for of thatsho was apparently quite incapable. We,that is, she and J, were' getting alongmost amicably, when who should burstin 011 us but Malinka, Stamnos, andothers. A fight followed in which I wasoverpowered and taken away. It wasonly then, realising her own danger,that sho hurriedly gathered a fewthings together and tried to make herescape.

Where had they taken me? ToMiehello's. No, not to the CafeMichello, but to a subsidiary one heowned in Lambeth—the Cafe Padova.It was there Malinka and Stamnos werehiding.

"If what you say is true," Georgeinformed her, "and no harm has cometo Colonel Gantian, this is going tohelp you a lot; but if you've held thisinformation back too long, and theworst has happened, then you knowwhat's coming to you."" Then be quick," she said; " there's

not a moment to lose. 1 don't know forcertain, but I think they mean harmto Colonel Gantian. Malinka hates him,and will bo merciless; Teddie hateshim incredibly. But be careful. If theyknow you are coming anything mayhappen."

George took up tho tale: " It was asshe had said; we had to be careful. Notthat you were worth it," he grinnedin his red way, " but I wanted to layhands on Malinka. Tell tho fellow allabout it, Wally, while I mix myself adrink."" Let me help you, sir," said Albert

George looked at him and smiled." What am I going to do about

you?"" I don't know, sir."" Neither do I."I asked what he meant. Wally cut

in: " I guess Albert was mighty quickon the draw."

" Then Malinka is—"" Sure; stiff as a dead coyote. Kinda

went mad when he heard us on thestairs and knew the game was up.Wanted to finish you, anyway; knife-flourishing and that sort of bunk. But,as I said, Albert was mighty quick 011the draw."" But I didn't get him, sir."" No

;but you checked his rush, and

the knife did the rest." I looked forfurther information. " When werushed in they were on tho floor, and insomo way or other tho knife thought itwould like to have a look inside Ma-linka's ribs. It did, a good one. Guessit was his own fault. He shouldn't havefallen on it."

■ " Stamnos?" I asked."Safe in my keoping,"- said George,

" and Brundry with him. They'll allbe retiring for a considerable period. Apretty bunch," he added grimly.

".A real bouquet," murmured Wally,who seemed to bo in a surprisingly goodhumour.

" And—"" Slio swallowed something," George

explained, " but not enough of it, orso tbo divisional surgeon thinks. Keepclioice company, don't you? Nice pairof boys; and you, Albert Floyd, are nota bit better I'm sick and tired of tbolot of you, and tbo next time you getinto a scrape don't bleat for me toget you out of it."" Why, you chinkapin, if Albert

hadn't climbed to that roof—"" Albert's all right, and bo can have

a job with mo whenever ho likes It'sthe company he keeps that I object to."Ho turned to tbo grim ono who wassmiling grimly. " Like to turn respect-able, Albert?'

" No, sir; thank you all tbo same.""Incorrigible," ho muttered. " Well

I'll bo getting along. Sco you in tbomorning. I supposo I can safely loaveyou till then?"

" Sure," said Mr. Wallington. " Givoour lovo to Molly. How's tbo boy?"

Tbo red god beamed. " Somo bo-,Wally."

" I should say. Takes after hisfather!"" Thanks, George," I said, holding

out my hand." Oil, shut uj>l "ho growled. Albert

saw hi in to the door. His voieo thun-dered from tbo ball a I'm a I " adiosl "

" Adios! " wo replied.I looked at Wally, a look ho under-

stood." I guess the lilies liavo been

crumpled enough," he said." Wo must prevail on George not

DAWN OF A HEW LIFE" Up till just recently my whole life

has been one of suffering," states Mrs.Ji. Waetsiig, of 33 "Warwick Road,Southall, England. " Even as a child 1was weak and ailing, and as 1 grewinto girlhood I became very anaemic.J. was always languid, could not eat,and my face was like parchment. Thedoctor said 1 was in a stato ofadvanced anaemia.

"After my marriage I got no bettor.I did nob seem to have a drop of bloodin mo. My hands went dead, and 1had no feeling in them. My nerveswere in a terrible stato; the pains inmy head were excruciating, a;id J. couldhardly see out of my eyes. I spentpounds on different medicines, all tono avail. On the strong recommenda-tion of ii friend, 1 started talcing Dr.Williams' Pink Pills, and tho differencetlioy mado in mo was wonderful. Myappetite soon picked up, and tho colourbegan to creep into my cheeks. As Icontinued with tho pills all my ail-ments seemed to drop from me, andnow, for tho first time in my life, Ifool really well. Thanks to Dr.Williams' Pink Pills, it is now a iov tobe alive."

All chemists and stores sell Dr.Williams' Pink Pills, 3s bottle. Say" Dr Williams' "—and take no other.

LEGS.

For years 1 had not slept, ono nightthrough, two hours Doing a good sleep rorme. Two or three doctors told mo therewas no cure for my less—mid that restwas the only thing' that would do good.However, n friend persuaded mo to try' Varox,' and now, nrter arrow weeks'treatment, both leg's are completely Healed.I am overjoyed."

SLEEP TO-NIGHT! END INSOMNIA

RESTFUL SLEEP ASSURED WITH-OUT NARCOTICS

Few know that two genuine BayerAspirin Tablets, before retiring, insurepeaceful, restful sleep, but be certainyou take only the gonuino BayerAspirin.

Bayer, in 1900, told the medical pro-fession of their new discovery, calledAspirin. Bayer asked physiciansthroughout the world to adopt it in in-somnia or sleeplessness; having demon-strated that it would quiet excitedand overwrought nerves without harm-ful effect. Now millions find reposowithout tho use of narcotics and habit-forming drugs.

Don't experiment! Bo sure you obtainonly the genuine Bayer Aspirin sold bychemists m boxes containing 12 tabletsand bottles of 24 and 100 tablets —thoBayer Cross trade mark appears onevery tablet. Bayer Aspirin costs nomore than tho uncertain imitations andloudly advertised substitutes, whichphysicians would not think of prescrib-ing.—Advt.
