EXHIBITION IN LONDON.

LONDON, March 31.Sir Edward Iliffe, president of the

Association of British Chambers ofCommerce, has written the followingletter to Major the Hon. J. J. Astor,the president o the Advertising As-sociation:—"As president of the Asso-ciation of British Chambers of Com-merce, I feel I should like to writeand teH you that I welcome veryv/hole-heartedly the advertising andmarketing exhibition which your as-sociation is holding at Olympia thismonth. It is the large and con-sistent advertisers who are to-day suc-cessfully weathering the storm, andyour association is doing some goodwork in bringing home that truth. Thefunctions of advertising are so mani-fold and so varied that it is difficultto generalise on the subject, and towelcome the exhibition from any par-ticular point of view. I think, how-ever, that the exhibition will do muchto enhance public confidence in ad-vertising, for it should not be difficultto spread the truth that advertising isfar and away the greatest aid to re-duction in the cost of living—some-thing which intimately touches everymember of th<> r---imunity.

After six years of existence, theBritish Broadcasting Corporation hasdecided to grant the request of manylistcncrs-in and have a woman an-nouncer. Thcv have appointed MrsGiles Borrett to this new post, andshe began vork at the end of July.

Mrs Borrett has already becomeknown to her colleagues as "thewoman with the golden voice," andit is suggested that Sir John Reith,the director-general of the BritishBroadcasting Corporation, intends herclear, unaffected speech to counter-actthe "Oxford accent" of some of- themale announcers.

Mrs Borrett is dark-haired andslender, and she has appeared in wire-less plays under the name of SheilaStewart. It was in these plays thatthe perfect tone of her voice forbroadcasting was first noticed.

TIMARU, September 7.Philip Gosney, aged 47, a linesman,

employed by the Tirnaru MunicipalElectricity Department, was killed thisafternoon while working on a pole atthe corner of Selwyn street and Wai-iti road. His left thumb was burnedthrough coming into contact with alive wire, and he fell backwards oversome wires to the ground, about 20feet below, on to the footpath besidehis workmate, Mr A. J.

Gosney was working on the pole,joining up new mains now being in-stalled. The lines concerned werecarrying 400 volts, and were insulated.The power was not turned off on thelines on which Gosney was working, itbeing considered safe for men to carryout duties on such wires. When hefell Gosney suffered a compoundfracture of the right ankle.

Dr. C. A. Patterson was called to thescene, but after applying artificialrespiration for some time without suc-cess could only pronounce the mandead.

STRONG PROTEST

SHIRLEY INTERMEDIATESCHOOL

MEETING IN ST. ALBANS

The meeting called by the St. AlbansSchool Committee to protest againstthe erection of an intermediate schoolat Shirley, which was held in the St.Albans School last night, was largelyattended by parents and householders,and was practically unanimous in itsopposition to the proposed site of theintermediate school, and emphatic inits support of the demand for a newschool to replace the present oldbuilding at St. Albans. Opposition tothe site of the proposed intermediateschool was based chiefly on the al-legation that it was at "a dead end,"and on the inconvenience of the exist-ing means of transport. It was esti-mated that the intermediate school(site and building) would cost about£12,000, while a new school for St.Albans, on the lines of either the Fen-dalton or Linwood Avenue schools,could be built for £4OOO. Mr C. D. W.L. Sheppard, chairman of the St. Al-bans School Committee, presided.

The chairman expressed his pleasureat seeing such a good attendance andalso at seeing that the EducationBoard was represented by Mr S. R.Evison, chairman of the appointmentscommittee.

Broad View Taken.The school committee had taken nonarrow, dog-in-the-manger view of the

proposal to erect an intermediateschool at Shirley. They had consid-ered it from the point of view of theinterests of the children and whetherit was in their interests that at theSt. Albans School there should be 50in each class. They also contendedthat if the intermediate school systemwas what it was claimed to be thenit should apply to a larger district,the north-east district being too small.Since last October the school commit-tee had been consistent in its opposi-tion to the proposal, and they con-sidered that before £12,000 was spenton a new school the children at St.Albans were entitled to proper ac-commodation. They had applied fora new school, and the request wasfavourably considered by Mr H.Atmore, the then Minister for Educa-tion, but his successor did not favourit. He spoke of the disadvantages ofthe Shirley site and said that thecommittee had suggested a site inInnes road, and there had been offersmade of other sites. The Acting-Min-ister for Education (Mr J. Bitchener)had visited the district and had as-sured them that the proposed inter-mediate school would not be pro-ceeded with until the return of theMinister for Education (Hon. R.Masters) from London, and thatthough tenders had been called forthe erection of the school none wouldbe accepted till the Minister returned,so that the committee would have anopportunity of making further repre-sentations to him on the subject.

An Unhealthy School.The present St. Albans School

should be replaced by a school of theFendalton or Linwood Avenue type.With the exception of only one roomno child in the present school got thespace required by the regulations. Heread reports from Superintends C.C. Warner, of the Christchuch FireBrigade, and from Dr. F. V. Bevan-Brown and Mr W. W. Rowntree,members of the executive of the OpenAir Schools' League, regarding theunhealthiness of many of the roomsin the old building. SuperintendentWarner concluded his report by ex-pressing the hope that the Govern-ment would do something to overcomethe dangerous state of affairs at theschool. Of the Standard I. room, Dr.Bevan-Brown and Mr Rowntree re-ported that it was the worst in theschool—"cold, sunless, and depress-ing," and that the conditions wereunnatural. The majority of the roomsin the old school, they stated, were soill-designed or so unhealthy and hoharmful to the physical and mentalwell-being of the children that it wasundesirable to continue their use.

Resolution of Protest.The chairman moved, and Mr F. C.

Bird, the secretary of the schoolcom-mittee, seconded:—

"That this meeting of parents andhouseholders of the St Albans Schooldistrict, having heard the correspond-ence to and from the school commit-tee and the Minister for Education;also, the results of the deputationswhich waited upon the late Directorof Education (Mr T. B. Strong) andthe Acting-Minister for Education (theHon. John Bitchener); also, the re-ports of the Superintendent of theChristchurch Fire Brigade, and Dr.F. Bevan Brown on the state of theschool buildings, etc., enters, in theinterests of the children of the dis-trict, its strongest protest against theproposed erection of the intermediateschool at Shirley. This meeting alsorequests the Minister for Education,the Education Department, and theCanterbury Education Board to aban-don the scheme for the erection of anintermediate school in north or north-east Christchurch:—

(a) Until the present main build-ing of the St. Albans School is de-molished and replaced by a modernand up-to-date school preferably ofthe type of Fendalton or LinwoodAvenue Schools.

(b) Until the Education Departmentacquires, for the erection of an inter-mediate school in North Christchurch,a site which would be more centraland in a more thickly populated dis-trict, with better tram and bus com-munication, and which would be moreable to serve a greater number of con-tributing schools than the proposedShirley site.

(c) Until the primary schools arestaffed on the same basis as the inter-mediate school system, and with aview of further specialising.

(d) Until the department can erectan intermediate school in NorthChristchurch which could eventuallydevelop into a High School in whichboth academic and manual educationcould be received."

Mr J. E. Thwaites, the headmaster,spoke in detail regarding the un-healthiness and overcrowding of someof the rooms in the present school.He objected to the site of the pro-posed intermediate school because itwas at a dead end. Referring to thepresent St. Albans School he said thatthe class-rooms of Standards 111., 11.,and I. would not be allowed inAmerica to house fowls.Opposition to Proposed Intermediate

School.O'l® parent said that the motionought to be in stronger terms.Another parent said that he did notintend to send his children to theShirley intermediate school, butwould send them to West Christ-

church, or anywhere else. That wasthe only way to block the proposalAnother parent asked if there wasany proposal to provide transportfrom the district around the St.Aloans School to Shirley.The chairman said that there wasno such suggestion.Mr R. S Badger said that the (motion might be considerably cur-tailed. Ihey ought not to consider jthe motion from its effect on an in-telligent audience, but on the Minis-ter. (Laughter.) The simpler the iwording of the motion was the more ;effective it would be.Mr A. C. Wiison urged that themeeting should concentrate on obtain- •

ing a new school for St. Albans. It ■was that phase of the matter that had '■brought him, and he believed many :others, to the meeting. ;An amendment was moved and sec- •onded, that clauses (b), (c), and (d) •should be deleted.Mr R. Laine objected to the amend- <ment and said that those who sup- <ported it did not understand the de- i

ALTERATIONS TORULES

THE AUTOMOBILEASSOCIATION

MEMBERSHIP AND ELECTION■ OF TREASURER

Alterations to the rules of the Can-terbury Automobile weremade at a special general meeting of

, the association last evening. The| president, Mr W. R. Carey, presided, over an attendance of 16 members.

[ Rule 2, governing the objects ofi the association, was amended by de-leting the words "and generally tomaintain a social club devoted to auto-mobilism," and substituting "andgenerally to promote and maintainsocial amenities among motorists."

Mr F. W. Johnston, the solicitor tothe association, said the alteration wasof a minor nature, and involved onlya change of phraseology. The altera-tion was approved without discussion.

Rule 4, dealing with the election ofthe council, was altered to make thehonorary treasurer a member of thecouncil, the alteration also providingthat he be elected by the associationat the annual general meeting insteadof by the council.

Mr Carey said that some years agoit was thought that the financialoperations of the association might be-come too onerous for an honorarytreasurer, and that it might be neces-sary to appoint a professional treasurer.Happily there had always been some-one ready to fill the position in anhonorary capacity, and, in the opinionof the council, it was now wise to goback to the position which obtainedbefore the rule was altered.

Membership Rule.Rule 8, which provided that "any

lady or gentleman interested in motor-ing is eligible for election as a mem-ber of the association," was deleted.The following clause was substituted:"Any person, firm, company, or cor-poration of any description andwhether sole, governmental, or localor not, shall be eligible for electionas a member of the association, butonly individual members shall beeligible for election as officers of theassociation."

Mr Johnston said that the old rulewent back to the dark ages, and the

i association had certain difficulties inadmitting firms, so that they couldbenefit from the mutual insurancescheme.

Mr G. Dickinson asked if the altera-tion was solely for insurance pur-poses. He could not see that there

. was any need for a firm, company,. or corporation to join the association,

but if they wanted to there was no; reason why they should not. How-

ever, the association should consider, where the alteration was leading. He

thought the association might lose ai lot of members. He knew of a firm. in London with 650 cars on the road,and most of the drivers were mem-

bers of a motoring organisation. Itwould not be well for the associationif the firm's joining made all its em-ployees members.

Mr R. Twyneham said membershipdid not give privileges to individualmembers of a firm, nor were theyallowed to take part in the affairs ofthe council.

Mr Carey: Only one ticket is issued.Mr Johnston said a firm was elected,not its individual members. It wasnot competent for a firm to dictateas to who was to represent it. Thatwas a matter for the association.The alteration was then approved.

Honorary Members,The following clause was added to

the membership rule:—"Any memberwhose membership shall have con-tinued for 20 years shall be entitledto remain a member without paymentof any further subscription."

Mr Dickinson: How many memberswould that make free at present?

, Mr Carey: Not very many, and there, are some life members at present whostill pay their subscriptions.

; The rule providing that "No newly-elected member shall be permitted tovote on any occasion whatever, or toenjoy any of the privileges of theassociation, until he shall have receivedhis card of membership," was deleted.The following clause was inserted:—"Every newly-elected member shallpay his subscription within two monthsof his election, nnd shall not be per-mitted to vote on any occasion what-ever or to enjoy any privileges ofthe association until he shall havepaid his subscription and received hiscard of membership."

The rule providing for a vote foreach membership at general meetingswas qualified by adding "whose sub-scription is not in arrear more thanfour months" to the words "eachmember."

when put as the substantive motionwas carried.

New School at St, Albans.Mr J. D. Godfrey moved:—"That this meeting of parents andhouseholders of the St. Albans school

district requests that the Minister forEducation use every endeavour to ob-tain from Cabinet a grant for the erec-

a°, f new school buildings at theSt. Albans district school, such workto be completed before the first termof 1934 commences."

He said that a new building wasurgently needed, and was wanted be-fore money was spent on accommoda-tion at Shirley. New accommodationwas wanted at Richmond, where oneclass was housed in a shed—possiblyit was the worst schoolroom in the Do-minion.

Mr A. C. Wilson seconded the mo-tion, which was agreed to.Mr Laine moved: "That should th

Education Department persist in theerection of the proposed intermediateschool at Shirley this meeting of par-ents and householders of the St. Al-bans school district earnestly requeststhat the department and the Canter-bury Education Board will make St.Albans school a voluntary contributingschool, standards five and six beingstill retained at St. Albans." He spokeof the inconvenience of the existingmeans of transport from St. Albansto Shirley, especially for young chil-dren.

The motion was agreed to.Mr L. Freeman moved: "That in view

of the more convenient tram facilitiesfrom this district to the West Christ-church District High School, this meet-ing suggests to those parents who de-sire their children to receive inter-mediate school training, to send themto West Christchurch in preference tothe Shirley intermediate school, iferected."

Mr Badger seconded pro forma, andsaid that the motion did not appearto be necessary. It seemed to himto contain "a little bit of the bigstick."The motion was lost on a show ofhands.It was decided to forward copies ofthe resolutions and of the reports to the

Minister for Education, the Directorof Education, and the Education Board.The school committee was thankedfor the work it had done, and a voteof inanks to the chairman ended themeeting.

From the, secretary of the Becken-ham Burgesses' Association (Mr S.Fleming), the following letter has beenreceived by the town clerk (Mr J. S.Neville):—"On behalf of the associa-tion, I have to tender our very bestthanks to the City Council, officers,works, reserves, and electricity depart-ments for their unfailing courtesiesduring the last year. A motion to thateffect was carried unanimously at theannual meeting held last Monday."

DISMISSAL OFNURSES

BULLER HOSPITAL BOARDCRITICISED

CHAIRMAN REPLIES TO DEMANDFOR ENQUIRY

(SI'ECUI. TO THE PBESS.)

WESTPORT, September 7.The dismissal, following an enquiry

by the board, of two nurses workingat the Buller Hospital has led to con-siderable criticism of the HospitalBoard in Westport, suggestions havingbeen made that a public enquiryshould be held, and also that an en-quiry should be made into the matterby the Department of Health. A state-ment has now been made in reply tothe board's critics by the Hon. W. H.Mclntyre, chairman of the HospitalBoard. With the exception of oneboard member, Mrs Foreman, thestatement declares, all the members ofthe board see no reason for holding aspecial meeting. In view of this, theletters of protest against their dis-missal sent in by Misses Dawson andGibson will come before the board'sordinary meeting, which is to be heldon Tuesday.

The proposal to hold a public en-quiry that had been made in somequarters could not be entertained, thestatement goes on to say, for the prin-cipal evidence, the hospital sisters' re-ports, were absolutely confidential andcould not be produced. "If there wasthe slightest possibility of such reportsbeing made public, then they wouldnot be worth the paper they are writ-ten on," says Mr Mclntyre's statement"A departmental enquiry into theboard's decision has been asked for,"the statement continues, "and theDirector-General of Health is now con-sidering whether there are anygrounds for such an enquiry. The onlyreason for which I have asked a de-partmental officer to visit the BullerHospital is to investigate and prove tothe general public that the board wasnot guilty, as was alleged, of actingunjustly.

"The board has no feelings in the jmatter, has nothing to hide, and would ]welcome a departmental enquiry. Sofar as the board is concerned, the inci-dent is closed, the nurses are no longer

on the board's staff, and their positionshave been filled.

"Reinstatement Impossible.""It must be obvious that the re-

instatement in Buller Hospital of thenurses dismissed is quite impossible.Bitter press correspondence, unjustlyattacking members of the board, whichwas based on ex parte statements, hascreated this position. The board hasfull jurisdiction over uncertificatednurses in the board's employ, and itsdecisions are final. I can assure thegeneral public that the enquiry wasproperly conducted and the boardacted honestly in the matter. As chair-man of the board, I had the unpleasanttask of conducting this enquiry, but Ichallenge the nurses concerned to saythat I was in any way domineering, orabused my position in the slightest de-gree. The personnel of the boardshould be sufficient guarantee that thenurses received a fair hearing."It is not correct for the nurses dis-missed to say that there was nothingagainst them at the enquiry, as thesisters' reports I read, apart from any-thing else, were progressively bad. Inthis connexion I wish to exclude thepresent sisters in the hospital frombeing responsible for the board's de-cision."

Mr Mclntyre's statement goes on torefer to the two nurses, stating thatthe failure of Miss Dawson to pass thefirst year examination on elementaryanatomy and physiology, although shehad been about two years in the hos-pital, coupled with the fact that theward sisters reported that she was notinterested in her work and was notreliable, convinced the board thatnursing was not Miss Dawson's voca-tion. "Miss Gibson was in a differentposition," the statement continues."She, no doubt, has the ability to passthe examinations if sheput her mind toit, but when she calmly informed theboard that she took no interest in herwork, that she did hot wish to come toWestport to train, reminding the mat-ron that her application was in hermother's writing, and that she wouldhave resigned long ago, but that hermother made her stay on, the boardhad no option but to give her notice.No doubt this lack of interest was re-sponsible for the very bad reports on

| her ward work. .. . The board has no[desire to prevent Miss Gibson from

finishing her hospital training, andwould be prepared to recommend tothe department to allow the time spentat Buller Hospital to count in anyother hospital.

General Administration."In connexion with the demand inthe press for an enquiry into the gen-

eral administration of the hospital, Iwould point out that the board hasnever received one complaint in writ-ing in this respect," the statement goeson. "Put through the proper channel,any such complaints will receive dueconsideration at board meetings. Ihave received a 'Round Robin,' signedby a number of the nurses, protestingagainst the dismissal of Misses Dawsonand Gibson, and supporting a list ofquestions to the board," continues thestatement, which says that an answerwill be given at the next board meet-ing, and that the board has evidenceshowing how some of the nurses' sig-natures were obtained.

Mr Mclntyre's report concludes: "Imight add, in conclusion, that there isa long waiting list of applicants fortraining in the Buller Hospital, most o2whom probably are seriously desirousof becoming nurses, and \frho will notbe there against their will, and withregard to whom there will not comebefore the board the report 'She takesno interest in her work and is unre-liable.' If such an one should creep intothe staff, I shall have no hesitationthen, as now, in letting her try someother vocation. Sick persons needthose who not only take interest intheir work, but are careful, indus-trious, and intelligent."

LESS UNSATISFACTORYPOSITION

'•The short view o£ ali the marketsin which New Zealand is interestedis less unsatisfactory than it has beenfor some time," states the one hundredand fourth bulletin of the CanterburyChamber of Commerce. The bulletinalso states, however, that considera-tion has to be given to the continu-ance of those obstacles to a revivalof prosperity wliich it was hoped theWorld Economic Conference wouldsurmount.

According to the official returns ofoverseas trade for the year endedJune 30, 1933, the total recorded valueof exports amounted to £38.4 millions,and of imports £22.3 millions, theexcess of exports over imports being£i6.l millions. But, in interpretingthese returns, account has lo be takenof the fact that exports arc valuedin New Zealand currency and im-ports in sterling. In addition, therehave been important movements ofspecie that need to be taken into con-sideration. During the last 18 monthsapproximately £l.B millions of speciehas been exported and little im-ported. General changes in our over-seas trade in commodities can, there-fore, be indicated most usefully byexpressing both export and importvalues in sterling and by excludingthe values of exports and imports ofspecie.

Trade Movements.In the first of the following three

tables specie movements are includedand the values of commodity exportsand imports are given as recorded, i.e.,exports in New Zealand currency andimports for the most part in sterling.In the next two tables the values aregiven in sterling, excluding specie.

The forgoing table shows the heavydecline in values of exports due to fallin the prices of our chief products, andthe still greater decline in imports.Increased quantities of goods exported,particularly butter, have offset to someextent the fall in prices, and the totalvalue of exports for the last 12 monthshas not varied from that of the pre-vious year.

Quarterly Analysis.A more detailed review of the trend

of trade is contained in the next table,which gives the values, in sterling, butexcluding specie, for complete yearsending in successive quarters.Overseas Trade, Quarterly, in Sterling:,

Excluding Specie.-p

Banking.The following table affords a com-

parison of the banking figures for theJune quarters of the last six years:—

Bank Returns.£ Millions.

This table shows the tendency, notedfn Bulletin No. 101, for deposits toincrease and advances to be reduced,total deposits being £2.5 millions moreand advances £3.8 millions less thanfor the corresponding quarter of 1932.The next table indicates the generaltrend of movements of deposits and ad-vances, statistical adjustments hav-ing been made in the published figuresso as to eliminate normal seasonal

Free and Fixed Deposits."The next table sets out the free

and fixed bank deposits in New Zea-land and the changes that have oc-curred in the ratio of free to fixed

As compared with the figures forJune quarter o£ 1932 there has beenan increase in both free and fixed de-posits and a tendency for a slightlysmaller proportion of total deposits tobe placed on fixed deposit.

In the next table changes in thetotal value of financial transactions inNew Zealand are indicated by varia-tions in the amount of average weeklydebits to all bank accounts.

Other Indicators.Further information as to changes in

business activity is given in the fol-

lowing table, which sets out compar-able figures of various series for theJune quarters of the last three years.

Tonnage-.Railway toil miles

(millions) .. 102.3 94.8 86.3Coastal shipping

(1000 tons) .. 437 350 330

The decline in business activity in-dicated by the foregoing tables is theeffect of falling prices. The extent ofthe fall in commodity prices as wellas the disparity in price movements ofvarious groups is shown in the next

A. comparison of the price indices ofJune, 1933, with those of I!W2 showsthat export prices have -fallen a fur-ther 3J- per cent., the fall being mostpronounced in dairy produce, the priceindex of which has fallen 10J per cent.Retail prices have also fallen 5 percent., while a 6 per cent, rise is re-corded in import prices. The disparitiesin price changes which have been em-phasised many times in these bulletinsare still in evidence and these dispari-ties provide the explanation of muchof the present economic distress.

General Survey.The tables presented in this bulle-

tin show the position to Juno ,'iO. Tnthe bulletin issued in June Ihe belt cm* \lone of the London market for metals ,and our New Zealand produce was Imentioned. The metal market has sincemaintained its firmness, and meatprices have advanced slightly. Woolprices have advanced by at least 20per cent, and butter prices by morethan 10 per cent. This increasedstrength has continued, in spite of theindefinite results of the World Eco-nomic Conference, which might havetended to weaken commodity prices.The short view in all the markets inwhich New Zealand is interested isless unsatisfactory than it has beenfor some time. Any long view, how-ever, must still take into account thecontinuance of thos£ obstacles to arevival of prosperity which it washoped the economic conference wouldsurmount. i

The chairman said that that was notso. The committee did all it could toencourage the men to obtain workother than the ordinary relief.

Mr Knight said that while the menappreciated the efforts of the commit-tee, the fact remained that they werenot getting relief in the same propor-tion to the men in the cities.

The chairman said that the Ministerfor Employment had stated, when !"■was in Ashburton, that the countrycentres, such as Ashburton, could notbe put on the same basis as the cities,as in the country centres the men hadmore likelihood of getting a few extradays and could obtain fuel moreeasily. Unless they could get infor-mation to cantravene that statement

j any further representations on theI part of the committee would be use-

j less.Mr Knight suid that the districts

north of Christchurch were combiningto make representations for increasedallocations.

The matter of advising the men that Ithey would not be penalised if theyaccepted work earlier in each week oron days on which they would ordin-arily be employed on relief work wasleft to Messrs Kelly, Patterson, andMinogue.

A deputation waited on the commit- 'tee with regard to the weekly alloca-tion. It was suggested that the allo-cation be increased, that the stand-down week be abolished, and thatthe men be paid during the fourweeks. It was stated that relief work-ers in Christchurch received 25s 8d for14 hours' work. The deputation alsoasked if the rationing scheme could beintroduced in Ashburton. Men in thecities were getting rations valued atup to 7s 6d a week.

The chairman said the deputation had !not broken any new ground. Thecommittee could not get any moremoney to allocate during the fourthweek. However, if the men desired it,they could have their present alloca-tion divided over four weeks. Thecommittee would do all in its power tohelp the men and would go into thequestion of the rationing scheme. If themen would go into the camps and fillthem it would strengthen the hand ofthe committee.

It was decided to advise the Unem-ployment Board of the deputation and<o suggest that the rationing schemebe put into operation in Ashburton. MrKnight was asked to place the matterof allocations being distributed overfour weeks, before the Relief Work-ers' Union.

Mr Kelly reported that at a meetingof the county council, held on Fridaylast, it was decided to request thecertifying officer to select from the tin- iemployed register the required num-ber of men to fill the council's relief !camps. |

The chairman said that Mr P. R. |Climie, a member of the Unemploy- 1ment Board, who was present at thecounty council meeting, agreed withthe council's action.

Mr Kelly said that the council didnot want to penalise the men but able-bodied men who were in a positionto do so should take advantage of thescheme.

The certifying officer referred to thefact that he was not invited to themeeting of the council when thecamps were discussed.

Mr Kelly, on behalf of the council,said that the matter was mentionedincidentally at the request of MrClimie, who was present as a member i

of a deputation from the Canterbury. Progress League. The matter was dis-posed of in a few minutes. The coun-cil had no previous intimation thatthe matter would be brought up. Hewould not like to think that the certi-ifying officer considered himselfslighted.

Mr C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., presidedover a sitting of the Magistrate's Courtyesterday.

Gladys Ethel Copland was chargedthat being the driver of a motor-vehicle she left the driver's seat be-fore placing the vehicle in such a posi-tion that if set in motion and not un-der proper control, it would turn to-wards and remain against the kerbor corresponding obstruction at thenear side of the road. She was con-victed and ordered to pay costs.

John Duncan Mn Arthur was chargedthat being the registered owner of cer-tain firearms he changed his place ofabode and failed within seven days togive notice in writing to the author-ised officer.

Themagistrate said that he was loath tosend a married man to prison for atheft of this type.

FALL IN LAND VALUES

BANKRUPTCY OF AGENT

(P:tKS; ASSOCIATION TKLSGKAU.) .

AUCKLAND, September 7.Debts totalling £4281 18s were re-

vealed at a meeting of creditors ofWilliam Henry Madill, a land agent,to-day.

The creditors agreed to facilitatethe discharge of the bankrupt, whoattributed his position to the seriousfall in land values. Previously he hadmet outgoings on his own propertissfrom his profits in business, but thebusiness had fallen to practically noth-ing. His life insurance policies andother liquid assets had all been re-alised in an endeavour to preserve hisassets, but the continued slump hadprevented recovery. He regretted thathe was unable to make an offer tohis creditors.

After bankrupt had been questionedat length by ihe official assignee, onecreditor said it appeared to be one ofthose unfortunate cases where a manhad bought land and it had no valueto-day. It was an encumbrance.

It was unanimously decided tofacilitate the discharge, and bankruptremarked: "It is very nice to haveyour sympathy at this period."

A WARM DAY

Yesterday was the warmest daysince last autumn and both streetand sports attire reflected the tend-ency towards summer conditions.Throughout the hours immediatelybefore and after mid-day the tem-perature was more than 00 degreesin the shade-—much the highestregistered this spring at the Christ-church Magnetic Observatory—andthe peak was 62.9 degrees. Theeasterly breeze later in the after-noon soon caused it to drop. Oncelast month a temperature of 60 de-grees was recorded. There hasbeen a marked similarity betweenthe early spring this year and thatof last year in point of air tempera-tures. In the first week in Septem-ber last year the temperature wassteady at round about 60 to 63 de-grees, but on an average over a longperiod is considerably lower untillater in the month.

HUNTSBURY HILL AND THECITY

i..

The period expired yesterday withinwhich objections could be lodged tothe petition addressed to the Ministerfor Internal Affairs (Hon. J. A. Young)asking for the exclusion of the Hunts-bury Hill area from the Hillsboroughriding of the Heathcote County Coun-cil and its inclusion within the boun-daries of the city of Christchurch.Objections were to be lodged with theMinister to whom a counter-petition,objecting to the severance, was for-warded some time ago, together witha formal objection from the HeathcoteCounty Council. It is not knownwhether any other objections havebeen lodgea.

SHIP SEARCHED FOR SILVER1

A strong force of police and cus-toms officers raided the intercolonialsteamer Waikouaiti at Lytteltonshortly after 5 o'clock last evening.An hour and a half was spent insearching the ship for silver coin-age, but no silver was found. Theparty consisted of Detectives J. J.Halcrow, D. McKenzie, and N.Kempt, acting-Detectives J. C. Ed?wards and W. Parish, Sergeant D.Wilson, six constables, and threecustoms officers. This is the first oc-casion on which any steamer hasbeen searched for silver at Lyttel-ton.

A MISTAKE IN A "BAXTER'S"ADVERTISEMENT

0

An interesting conversation washeard in the Sumner tram the otherday when a lady who resided at Red-cliffs, in conversation with a friend,referred to a "Baxter's" advertise-ment headed, "Four Great Inventors,"and said to her friend that the ad-vertisement stated that it was a littleboy who quoted Mr Baxter as a greatinventor. "As a matter of fact," shesaid, "it was my little girl who, whendoing her homework said to herfather, 'I suppose Mr Baxter is oneof the four greatest inventors.' Herfather replied that he did not considerthat Mr Baxter could be called a greatinventor, but the child was insistenton the point, saying that when she hada cold her mother always gave her'Baxter's' and it always cured her, sothat she considered that Baxter's LungPreserver must really be a great in-vention."

Such firm belief in "Baxter's" isj typical, of the'high regard in which| "Baxter's" is held by young and oldthroughout New Zealand. This hasbeen the case for so very many years

I that there is no room for doubt that"Baxter's" is by far the best remedyfor coughs and colds. "Baxter's" alsohas tonic properties which give added

i benefit. Your chemist and your store-keeper sell "Baxter's" in three sizes,4/6, 2/6, and 1/6. —1

A surge in the transmission systemof the Lake Coleridge power supplythrew the rotary converter at theChristchurch Tramway Board's powerstation out of order for a few min-utes early yesterday afternoon andstopped all trams for three minutes.The breakdown happened at 1.2 p.m.,but although trams are busy at thistime, no great inconvenience wascaused, the service being in operationagain by'l.s p.m.

AN EXAMPLE FORTHE 8.8.C.

NEW ZEALAND BOARD jCOMMENDED j

CO-OPERATION WITH MUSICALSOCIETIES

The British Broadcasting Corpora-tion is often held up as a model forthe New Zealand BroadcastingBoard, but it is somewhat unusualto find the New Zealand Board's ad-ministration recommended as amodel for the British BroadcastingCorporation.

Writing in the "Musical Times"for April, the well-known critic, MrHarvey Grace, says:—

"I recently met Mr W. H. Dixon,a prominent New Zealand musicianwho was for 10 years well known inEast Anglia as the conductor of theIpswich Choral Society. As he isnow closely connected with broad-casting in New Zealand I obtainedfrom him some particulars as to theway in which the broadcastingauthorities there co-operate withlocal organisations. Here is the sub- jstance of Mr Dixon's information:There are four main broadcastingcentres in New Zealand, and a num-ber of B stations. An advisory com-mittee of about eight or 10 mem-bers representing musical anddramatic societies, etc., meets thebroadcasting headquarters staff onthe first Thursday in each month,and the officials are always ready toaccept the criticism and advice ofits members. Professional musiciansin New Zealand have thus regularand direct contact with the author-ities which their confreres in thiscountry are denied. Each of the four |main stations sets aside annually£2OO to be shared among the orga-nisations which broadcast, the allo-cation of the engagements and theamount of the fee being settled bythe advisory committee.

Stimulus to Members."The fees, though small, are

sufficiently large to enable the vari-ous societies to maintain a smallcredit balance, and of course thebroadcasting acts as a stimulus to themembers as well as being of greatinterest to their connexions scatteredover a large area. (A similar com-mittee, by the way, advises con-cerning the broadcasting of churchservices: this body is composedpartly of clergy, partly of musicians,so that both sides of the service arc-looked after.) j

"Musicians are satisfied that the ;effect of broadcasting on New Zea-'land's musical taste has been good; itheir chief anxiety, like ours, is that!listening should not be developedat the expense of doing. The prac-tical encouragement of choral andother societies is proving to be avaluable means of avoiding thisdanger. Similarly the competitionfestival movement, which is very

1 popular in New Zealand, is en-couraged and supported by the oc-casional broadcast of the final con-cert of a festival, the adjudicatorusually making a short general re-port of the event, his remarks beingcentred round some point likely tobe of special use and interest to thegeneral public. For example, MrDixon having received many lettersasking if it was worth while nowa-days for young people to continuetheir musical studies, made the ques-tion a chief plank during his adjudi-cations at a festival, and included asummary of his remarks in thebroadcast concert at the conclusionof the festival.

"Now, what is being done on asmall scale in New Zealand mightsurely be done in a more compre-hensive way in this country."

CONFERENCE OF SURGEONS

The annual conference of the NewZealand section of the Royal Aus-tralasian College of Surgeons wasopened at the Christchurch Hospitalyesterday, Sir Louis Barnett, oi:Dunedin, vice-president and chair-man of the New Zealand executivecommittee, presiding. There werenearly 50 surgeons present. Theconference will conclude this after-noon.

WAIMAKARIRI RIVER BILL

Suggested amendments Lu theWaimakariri Improvement Bill,which is to come before the Houseas a private bill at the forthcomingsession, were discussed at a special,meeting of the Waimakariri RiverTrust yesterday, at which localmembers of Parliament were pre-sent. The chairman of the trust,Mr J. H. Blackwell, presided, andbesides the members of the trustthere were also present Messrs H.Holland, M.P., H. S. S. Kyle, M.P.,D. G. M.P., H. T. Arm-strong, M.P., and E. J. Howard,M.P. The meeting was held in com-mittee.

A persistent interjector at recentelection meetings, Mr C. E. Bald-win, who had many sharp exchangeswith Mr W. J. Broadfoot, M.P., at ameeting last evening at Woolston,was badly beaten in one short argu-ment. Mr Baldwin asked if thespeaker thought that it had beenproper for the Government to lend£8000 from the unemployment fundsfor the erection of an hotel inNapier. "I think that the grantingof the subsidy was perfectly cor-rect," replied Mr Broadfoot."Furthermore, the sponsor andmover in the scheme was the Labourmember, Mr W. E. Barnard, who de-fended his action in the House bypointing out that the grant allowedmany artisans to be employed atstandard rates of pay." The Govern-ment would get the money back."You've made a miss, Charlie," and"Bowled out" were remarks whichgreeted the reply.

A startling example of the disas-trous nature of the fall in pricesfor skins and hides during the sea-son immediately preceeditig thisone was given by Mr F. W. Free-man, Coalition candidate for Lyt-telton, speaking at St. Martins lastnight. Mr Freeman, who was illus-trating the dire need of the farmingcommunity which justified Govern-ment action in protecting and sup-porting it, produced a letter sentby brokers to a prominent farmeron Banks Peninsula, who owns ablock of 2200 acres in which£40,000 is invested. The letter in-formed the farmer that the 2873lamb pelts, after deduction ofcharges, freight, and insurance, etc.,had netted him £2 15s 4d! "Thatis an instance of what the farmerswere up against," Mr Freemanadded. "But to-day there are signseverywhere that a brighter era isahead. I am certain that the tidehas turned."

MR LLOYD GEORGEAND THE WAR

MEMOIRS PUBLISHED

CONTROVERSIAL NOTECRITICISED

(Received September 7, 10.11 p.m.)

LONDON, September 7.The newspapers give extensive ex-

tracts from the first volume of MrD. Lloyd George's war memoirs, justpublished, which carries the story ofthe war to the autumn of 1915. MrLloyd George says that he almost de-cided not to write a war book. Foryears he shrank from the publica-tion of the horrifying details, but hefelt that the story must be toldin order to avoid a future calamity.

While it is claimed that the volumeis a valuable contribution to his-tory, the "Morning Post" says thatits evidential value is much dimin-ished by the incessantly controver-sial note. It is possible to give MrLloyd George full credit for his in-valuable services to Great Britainand the Allies without believing thathe was always right and everybodyelse always wrong. The reader istaught to conclude that if Mr LloydGeorge could have been captain-general of the army, lord high ad-miral of the fleet, and absolute dic-tator at Downing Street, everythingwould have gone much better, be-cause all the tragic blunders thatprolonged the struggle were due toperverse refusals to follow hisadvice.

One reviewer asks whether MrLloyd George obtained permissionto publish all the documents in thebook—some of which have hithertobeen treated as confidential.

CITY RATE DEMANDS

The demand notices for Christ-church City Council rates wereposted on Wednesday evening andwere delivered yesterday. In all,more than 24,000 rate demands weremade out by the rate collector'sstaff and abme were delivered byhand.. The number posted was21,500 odd, the cost of postageamounting to about £SO. Paymentof rates is not due till September21, but not until March 22, 1934,does the 10 per cent, penalty be-come due on rates unpaid.

NAVAL VOLUNTEERRESERVE

During August 40 new recruits un-derwent a probationary period oftraining for the Canterbury Divisionof the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve,and 19 were finally accepted, states themonthly report of the division,

A working party of one petty officerand six ratings was employed inscraping and oiling the masts andbooms of the Deveron. The twowhaling boats were sailed from Lyt-telton to Sumner, and placed on ihcslip ready for painting.

The Coalition candidate for Lyt-telton, Mr F. W. Freeman, scoreddecisively several times at the ex-pense of one or two interjectors athis meeting at St. Martins lastnight. Late in his address Mr Free-man said that it seemed to he themain object of all political factions—the new ones recently formed orstill in the process of formation—-such as the New Zealand Legion,to place men in Parliament who ■had business experience. "Thereare none there now," shouted an in-terjector. "You put me there andyou will have one at least," retortedMr Freeman. "Talk is cheap,"called the interjector with sarcasticinflexion. "Yes," said Mr Freeman, "itis in the Labour party, the schemesand fancies of which resemble somuch shovelling of smoke or shift-ing of handfuls of fog." (Laughter.)

"I claim that the land legislationpassed last session was the mostprogressive put on the statute booksfor the last 30 years," said Mr W. J.Broadfoot, M.P., in his address atWoolston last evening. "It has en-abled the small man to get on theland under conditions which cannotbe bettered anywhere else in theworld. That is the small farmsscheme. The ten-acre scheme wasan experiment, and the success of itjustified its extension. In spite ofthe plight of the farmers to-day, Iwould rather see people go out tocarve their destiny on the land,than see them unemployed in thecity."

Harold Glenday, a labourer, a fed' 23, was convicted and ordered to come> up for sentence if called upon within

I six months, on a charge of the thefton May 6 of a pawn ticket valued at

[ 10s, the property of Violet Wernham., Glenday was charged originally, with the theft of a gramophone and' 12 records, valued at £4 ss, the pro--1 perty of Violet Wernham, but Chief-

i Detective W. H. Dunlop explained thati the articles mentioned in the chargehad been pawned for 10s. The accusedhad seen the ticket in the complain-

-1 ant's home, and had sold it back tothe pawnbroker for 3s. The questionarose whether the accused should becharged with stealing the ticket orthe goods mentioned. Was the accusedliable for the gramophoneand records,which had been sold by the pawn-broker?

NON-SUITED BYTRIBUNAL

FIRST CLAIMANT UNDERINSURANCE ACT

COLLISION WITH UNKNOWNLORRY ALLEGED

twi*sd ASSOCIATION* tjjlcqha#.)

WELLINGTON, September 7.On the ground that there was sub-

stantially no evidence as to how orwhere the accident occurred or aa towhether there was negligence on thepart of any person unknown, Neil D.j Hood was non-suited in his claim for£IOOO from insurance companies sub-ject to the Motor Vehicles Insurance(Third Party Risks) Act, 1928.

This was the first action arising outof the agreement between the Minis-ter for Transport arid companies whichaccept risks under the Motor-VehiclesInsurance (Third Party Risks) Act,1928. It was heard before three arbi-trators, Messrs E. Page, S.M., W. Perry,and W. E. Leicester. The object ofthe agreement was to deal with claimsm respect of death or bodily injurycaused by the use in New Zealandat motor-vehicles that could not beidentified. The agreement sets outthat if any person is killed or injuredoy an unidentifiable motor-vehiclewhich has current registration platesat-tached, the underwriters would settlethe claim in accordance with the de-cision of three arbitrators.Hoods claim was in respect of aninjury on December 8. When aboutthree miles and a half south of Mana-kau what he described as a large,heavily-laden transport lorry alleg-edly collided with his car.

Announcing the tribunal's decision,Mr Page intimated that the tribunalconsidered that it was bound by theordinary rules of evidence, and, asa matter of law, did not think theaccount of the accident written byclaimant before he lost his memorywas admissible.

Clauses 9 and 12, said Mr Page, re-quired that before a claimant couldrecover he had to prove, inter alia,that a person, unknown, would, if as-certainable, be under legal liability tohim because of bodily injury he hadsuffered—i.e., that the accident wasdue to the negligence of such un-known person.

The tribunal did not find it necessaryto decide the question whether on theevidence It, was a proper inference thatthe vehicle said to have come into col- jlision with claimant's car bore a cur*|rent number-plate. The tribunalthought the proper judgment to re-cord was one of non-suit against theclaimant.

The companies were awarded costs;but 110 amount was decided upon, asthere are 110 scale fees for such pro- 1ccedings.

ASSIGNED POLICIES

AN IMPORTANT JUDGMENT

(rnE3.3 ASSOCIATION 'IT.LKGKAM.)

AUCKLAND, September 7.A judgment of importance to life

assurance companies was given by MrJustice Herdman in a case of the In-dustrial Acceptance Corporation, Ltd.,v. the Mutual Life and Citizens' As-surance Co., Ltd.

The question for decision waswhether plaintiff, to whom the as-sured person had assigned his indus-trial policy, will be bound if no claimis made under the policy until itmatures to furnish proofs of the ageand survival of the assured person.

His Honour said the assignee, be-cause he was an assignee, could haveno better rights Ihan his assignor. Ifthe policy had not been assigned, theassured person would have been underobligation to satisfy the company ofhis survival, and his Honour failedto see that the assignment of thepolicy made any difference. The as-signee took the advantages and mustalso be subject to the obligations. Thejudge answered the question in theaffirmative.

CYCLING TOUR OF NEWZEALAND

SYDNEY VISITOR'S PRAISE

"No New Zealander with a goodstock of energy can excuse himself fornot seeing his country," says Mr A. Q,Lowndes, of Sydney, in an article,"Cycling Through New Zealand," inthe latest number of the RailwaysMagazine.

Mr Lowndes was in New ZealandAve weeks, and was amazed by thevariety of scenery that was to be seenwith only a comparatively smallamount of travel. In those five weekshe seems to have seen uearly every-thing worthy "of visiting, and the totalcost of the tour was only £24 ss.

Mr Lowndes began his tour fromAuckland, and visited the ChateauTongariro—where he saw snow for thefirst time—the Arapuni dam, the Wai-iomo caves, and Rotorua, in the NorttiIsland, and then left for Picton, whenthe tour oE the South Island com-menced. Blenheim and kelson weievisited, and then "the beautifully-col-oured mountains behind the Canter-burr Plains." Westland was visitedon the way down to the Lakes distric-.Mr Lowndes was parficularly im-oressed bv the tramp over GrahamsSaddle and of the scenery near theHermitage—"The beauty of the ice,the purity of the snow, the majesty olthose peaks with challenge in theirvery magnitude: all are memories, toowonderful to have hoped for, gloriousto recall."

The PressFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1933.

Lord GreyThe death of Lord Grey removesthe last of the European ForeignMinisters who were in power at theoutbreak of the Great War. Of hispart in the feverish negotiations ofJuly, 1914, and in the devious di-plomacy of the few years before I1914, much has been written, little

of it favourable. Yet when coolerand wider judgments become pos-sible it will probably be agreed thatLord Grey was caught up in thesweep of events to an inevitableclimax and that his own actions didcredit to his ability and honesty ofpurpose, if not always to hisfar-sightedness. Adverse criticism!has centred mainly on his pur- jsuit of a policy that involved .Great Britain deeply with France!at a time when English de-tachment from Continental en-tanglements might perhaps haveprevented a general war. In 1904he agreed to give France diplomaticsupport over the Morocco question;in 1911, at the time of the Agadircrisis, he inspired Mr Lloyd Georgeto his unfortunate Guildhall speech,which contained a veiled threat toGermany; from time to time he per-mitted conversations between thenaval and military experts of bothcountries, conversations that wereproductive of increased nervousnessin other nations. His frequent re-iterations that it would always befor Parliament to decide whetherEngland would support France in aEuropean war could not destroy thefact that by 1914 he was morallybound to that country by secret un-derstandings. In this it has been LordGrey's unhappy lot to have ac-counted to him as a fault what hasbeen accounted to many others as avirtue, the English preference forworking out a practical compromisefor the moment. "If all secrets were"known," he wrote, " it would pro-" bably be found that British For-" eign Ministers have been guided"by what seemed to them to be the"immediate interest of their coun-"try without making elaborate cal-"culations for the future." It wasprecisely this desire to serve Eng-land's immediate interests thatblinded Lord Grey to the wider im-plications of his policy. He has beenjustly praised for initiating in 1912the Londori Conference over theBalkan question, a conference thatmight have achieved much butfailed, and the Conference of Am-bassadors which had considerablepotentialities as a permanent insti-tution; and for his very great ef-forts to preserve peace in the criti-cal days of 1914. After the outbreakof war he pursued constantly,against considerable opposition, apro-American policy, hoping forAmerican assistance and a closerfeeling between the two nations.The American Ambassador is cre-dited with saying: "It has been a"God's mercy for us that we have" so far had a man like Sir Edward" Grey in his post.". The absolutesincerity and honesty of intent thatcharacterised the man were recog-nised and respected by the states-men of other nations. His apolo-gia, Twenty-five Years, displaysthe cool detachment and tempera-mental sanity of a great man anda great statesman. No one engagedin affairs of state in pre-war dayshas escaped criticism: that whichtouches Lord Grey detracts littlefrom his real greatness.

Philosophers and the PublicIn his thoughtful and amusing ad-

| dress to the Philosophical Institute,reported in "The Press" yesterday,

| Mr Hitchcock rebuked the philoso-phers, using that term in its widestsense, for deliberately isolatingthemselves from social life. Veryaptly, he told the story of the exas-perated curate who said to his wife:"For the love of Heaven, Amanda,"take this squalling baby out of"here; I'm trying to write a sermon"on ' Bearing one another's bur-" ' dens.' " It must be recognised,however, that the philosophers arenot entirely to blame. In the pastthey have been so often ridiculed,persecuted, even martyred, by so-ciety that their preference for analmost monastic independence is nothard to understand. And unques-tionably it will always be necessary,if philosophy is not to be false toits ideals and hampered in its use-fulness, for the philosopher to feelsecure against the pressure of publicopinion. Moreover, in the puresciences an accelerating rate of pro-gress and increased specialisationhave taken the scientist so farahead of popular knowledge thatisolation is inevitable. Occasionallyscientists like Jeans and Eddington,with a genius for simple exposition,•ire able to carry the intelligent lay-man forward on an excursion to theoutposts of knowledge; but for themost part the pure scientists live inanother world and speak anotherlanguage. Yet, whatever its causesand its justification may be, isola- 1tion has become dangerous to thephilosopher himself and is depriv-ing mankind of the benefits of scien-tific progress. This is an age whichtends increasingly to judge know-ledge by its social usefulness; and

if the philomath expects society togrant him leisure and security hemust be prepared to justify himselfto his fellow men. Further, it is anage in which the gulf between thosejwho know and those who do is dis-astrously wide. Mr Keynes has> complained that it is his fate always! to be right and always to be ignored;Sand it is the fate of al-most; all philosophers who at-tempt to influence the eon-jduct of human affairs. As Sir|Arthur Salter has pointed out. thetask of advancing knowledge is for

J the moment less important than the[task of building bridges betweenknowledge and action. The philoso-phers of to-day might with advan-tage to themselves and to the worldrecall the words with which Ver-non Harcourt launched the BritishAssociation: "The time seems to be"arrived for taking advantage of the" intellectual improvement of the

nation. Let philosophy at length"come forth and show herself in"public: let her hold her court in''different parts of her dominions:"and you will see her surrounded"by loyal retainers, who will rtc-"rive new light and zeal from her" presence and contribute to extend"her power on every side."' Har-court, it appears, regarded the Bri-tish Association not as an instru-ment for the advancement of know-ledge but as a means of emphasis-ing to the nation the value ofscience. The ideal is one whichmany learned societies would dowell to keep in view.

Plunket Day

Christchurch has so warmly syinpa-thised with the objects of the Plun-ket Society and so steadily respondedto the annual appeal of the districtbranch that it is easy to be confidentof success to-day. But if that suc-cess is to be of the order that thesociety deserves, every giver in thestreet collection and buyer at tinestalls will have to feel more thana disposition to help; they will haveto feel how great is the need forhelp, and proportion their generosityjto it. The branch began last year'swork with a balance-sheet showinga deficit. This, through an anony-mous benefactor's gift of £125 andthe splendid result of Plunket Day.was wiped off; but the branch is notfree of anxiety. It is bound to main-tain services already very wide inscope; and it is bound, so far and sosoon as it can, to extend them. Lastyear, more than 60,000 visits werepaid to tho Plunket rooms in theChristchurch are'a; and the nursespaid nearly 8000 visits to mothers'

i homes. In addition, in the pre-natalsection, they gave first interviewsto 305 mothers, who returned to theclinic on 1877 occasions, they visited57 homes, and the monthly averageof cases under observation was 110and of new cases 25. In the post-natal section, throughout the wholearea, 1536 new cases received atten-tion. All this was done—or rather,all that this implies was done, allthe increase of health and happinessthat, it brought was won—for an ex-penditure of less than £4OOO. I'utthe income and expenditure accorn'.shows that, apart from the Govern-ment subsidy of £llOB and ;< trifle ofinterest every penny of this moneyhad to come in one way or anotherfrom the public, by subscription orgift or purchase of K?aritane pro-ducts; and that the Plunket Daycollection is of, quite literally, vitalimportance. It is not enough, there-fore, to say that to-day's appealgives citizens an opportunity toshow their goodwill towards thePlunket cause. It is an opportun-ity to express their sense of re-sponsibility to it.

LOANS FOR LOCAL

BODIES

RAISING OF £124,150

SANCTIONED

CONVERSION APPLICATIONS

TOTAL J£2,770,fi;i0

(!UtK33 ASSOCIATION TKI.EUBAM.I •"

WELLINGTON, September 7.At a meeting of the Local Gov-

ernment Loans Board, 21 applica-tions for loans totalling £128,600were dealt with. Loans amountingto £124,150 were sanctioned, in-cluding £79,450 renewals and£44,700 new loans. Diversion ofunexpended loan moneys totalling£25,691 was sanctioned.

The first complete conversion ap-plications were dealt with. Thesecomprised schemes formulated by 14local authorities, and the amount in-volved was £2,770,630. To a largeextent, premiums on conversion arebeing met by the issue of new se-curities; but owing to the utilisationon conversion, in certain cases, ofexisting sinking funds for debt re-demption the net result in the 14cases dealt with is a reduction inthe total debt, the amount of newsecurities to be issued being approx-imately £2,763,608. The rate of in-terest on all new securities is 4.1 percent., which the board had previ-ously adopted as the basic rate for|all conversion schemes.

In practically all the cases dealt[with the converted loans will he re-paid without any undue extension ofthe existing dates of maturity. Theconversion schemes under consider-ation emanated from nine differentclasses of local authorities, includingone city, two boroufhs, two townboards, a fire board, a harbourhoard. a homital board, a

a and four elec-�'ii-.rnwor hoards.

General NewsA Note of Optimism.

The optimistic tone of the bulle-tins received from overseas cham-bers of commerce and financial in-stitutions in the last few monthswas commented on at last night'smeeting of the Canterbury Cham-ber of Commerce by the vice-presi-dent (Mr A. F. Wright), who wasin the chair. Mr Wright remarkedthat this cheerful tone was worth,noting, especially as the chamberreceived a large number of thesebulletins. Most of them werepassed on, after members had beengiven an opportunity of perusingthem, to Canterbury College, theeconomics department of whichgave the chamber such valuableassistance in the preparation of itsown bulletins.

Praise for the Police.'"Policemen , get more kicks than

halfpence, and I am pleased to hearcounsel express his appreciation ofthe discretion and tact of a con-stable in this particular case. Theconstables very often do not get thepraise they deserve." said Mr E.D. Mosley, S.M., in the Magistrate'sCourt yesterday, after counsel haamentioned Ihal he and his clientfully appreciated the attitude of aconstable who showed considerablepatience before he arrested a manwho was charged in the court withresisting the police. Mr Mosley saidthat the action of Constable "d. J-Lloyd, who arrested the man, wasextremely praiseworthy. If the con-stable had not used a great dealof discretion and tact, serioustrouble might have developed.

Printing' in Canterbury.Even overseas .scholar.-; arc mter-

» in the extensive collection ofNew Zealand book's at the Canter-bury Public Library. Mr E. ,1. Bell,the librarian, recently received fromMr D. C. McMurtrie, of Chicago, anenquiry concerning the first painph-lets and books printed in Canter-bury, and he found that the librarypossessed a copy of a sermon bythe Rev. 11. Jacobs, published inpamphlet form in July, 1851. Thispamphlet is considered by Hoekcn,whose bibliography of New Zealandbooks is a standard work of refer-ence, to be one of the first printedhere. The information given by MrBell about this and other earlyCanterbury books has resulted in agift for the library of several booksabout printing in other countries.

Chinese and Other Gamblers."It is an anomaly that we in New

Zealand should "constantly harryChinese residents .for playhu'tan in their own homes," said MrJohn MacGibbon at the meeting ofthe Canterbury Chamber of Com-merce last evening. "It is a well-known fact that wherever men con-gregate—l am not referring only tothe Chinese —the gambling laws arebroken with impunity. We have toconsider the effect on the Chinesepeople of this treatment, for theChinese in New Zealand are one ofthe most law-abiding sections of thecommunity. If the Crown wantsrevenue from breaches of gamblinglaws it can get any amount by in-vading any of the places of resortof our own people." Mr C. P. Agarsaid he did not think this was aChamber of Commerce matter. "Itis, so far as it affects our trade withChina," remarked Mr Wright.

Chamber of Commerce.The Governor-General (Lord

Bledisloe) has consented to be thechief guest at the annual dinner ofthe Canterbury Charnlx of Com-merce on September 2!'. So thatthe routine business of the meetingmay not interfere with the occasiona formal meeting for the electionof officers, the president-'.-; remarks,and the presentation of the annualreport and balance-sheet, will beheld on the afternoon of the sameday. The chairman ut last.night'smeeting of the chamber (Mr A. F.Wright) remarked that this ar-rangement would prevent importantspeeches from being crowded outby formal business, as had some-times happened in the past.

Pollarded Willows.Though the recently pollarded

willows on the river bank by theWorcester street bridge are stillbare and ugly, while other willowsnearby show a fresh spring green,they will make plenty of newgrowth later in the season. Pol-larded willows, according to Mr M.J. Barnett, the Superintendent ofParks and Reserves, will put on asmuch as from six to eight feet ofnew growth in the first season,while in the second the casual ob-server will hardly notice that; theyhave been cut back. The goodeffect of pollarding can be observedin the graceful shapes of the treesbehind the old City Council Cham-bers, or in those along Avonsidedrive, which were cut back threeyears ago.

Shorter Working: Hours.Both Mr H. Holland, M.P. for

Christchurch North, and Mr P. W.Freeman, the Coalition candidate forLyttelton, who addressed a meetingat St. Martins last night, answeredin the affirmative when, at questiontime, they were asked if they be-liever" in and would support a move-ment for the introduction of shorterworking hours. "It is not a questionof whether we believe in it," said MrHolland summing up the jointanswer. "It. is bound to come."(Applause.)

Women Dismayed.When the new telephone direc-

tories arrived in Christchurchhomes yesterday many women sur-veyed them with dismay. Menwere not unduly concerned whenthey noticed that the departmenthad changed the familiar red coverto one of light cream, but to thewomen it meant that the means ofmaking a beautiful pink dye hadbeen lost—an effect probably notanticipated by the department. Itappears that the department, withthe thoroughness for which it isnoted, used a particularly good dyewhen making the old covers. Whenboiling water was poured on these,and the resulting pulp wellsqueezed, a dye was produced whichcould be used and very often wasused successfully.

A Place to Tie a Horse.Hitching posts are among the re-

minders of a slower-travelling pastthat, are rapicUy disappearing inChristchurch. Ivlanv have been re-moved as the footpaths have beenimproved and new channelling in-stalled, until now only four or fiveof them remain in the inner cityarea. One of the most imposinghitching posts stands in Herefordstreet, by the Bank of New Zealand.It is a six by six wooden pillar,with a large and ornamental hook.The Christchurch Club has a hitch-ing rail—reminder of the dayswhen a row of fine horses "sedregularly to be tied up there, andthe Canterbury Club has a solitarypost, standing beside another his-torical relic in the form of an oldgas street lamp. Not far alongCambridge terrace the Public Lib-rary hitching rail is still standing,though in close proximity are itssuccessors—a bicycle stand and acar parking area defined by paintedwhite lines nn the roadway.

PROFESSIONALISMIN SPORT

Warning to NewZealand

EXAMPLE OF WRESTLING

Professionalism in sport wasstrongly condemned by Dr. R. Law-son. of Otago University, in hisWilding Memorial Lecture deliveredat Canterbury College last evening.After referring to the degeneracywhich overtook the Greek ideal ofbeauty he said that the reason wassimply over-competition and profes-sionalism in spirt.

"The all-round physical develop-ment of the great age of Greece."he said, "gave way to specialisedtraining, brute strength replacedharmonious development, moneyprizes and bribery fostered theavaricious man and drove out theamateur. If is a sad page of his-tory for the lover of Greece.

"In New Zealand so far our greatsports of cricket, football, and ten-nis are free from taint. Let us be-ware lest we over-commercialisethem, lest we make competition sokeen as to make it impossible forthe amateur to be a participant.Already we see our cricketers be-ing tempted aw ay. The great seriesof cricket test matches betweenEngland and Australia have hadtheir fame dimmed by intense com-petition and undue publicity.

"Parasitic Growth.''"The essence of sport is that it

shall be spontaneous. Profession-alism is the negation of sport, orrather it is a parasitic growth uponthe natural plant of healthystrength, skill, and emulation.There are symptoms that tennis, byits over-stimulated competition, isthrusting its leading exponents intoprofessionalism. Shall we see herea degeneracy of a type, the reap-pearance of the sub-man as depictedon the Greek vases? Are we tosee our cricket and football andtennis sink to the level of present-day wrestling? I judge this lastby representations on the cinema,where I have seen faces and ex-pressions that have made me shud-der."

The fact that a professionalfighter could gain more gold in onefight after a few months' training,said Dr. Lawson, than an honestand clever man could gain in alifetime was subversive of life'svalues and very pernicious, there-fere, in its effect upon the young."Of course, I do not dub profession-alism bad in itself," he added. "Inmoderation there is always a placefor it, but it should always be partof some sport in which it mayrender service by coaching and bysetting standards of achievement.Professional wrestling at present ismerely a means of making moneyby providing unwholesome excite-ment in a contest of whose naturethe spectators have no amateurexperience."

NGAHAU CROSSES

SUMNER BAR

ARRIVAL IN ESTUARYLAST EVENING

TRANSPOKT OF BIG BOILERTO WOOLSTON .

With the lull force oi a .strongflood tide behind her, and with herengines driving at full speed, theauxiliary scow Ngahau, laden withthe big boiler for the factory ofDavis Gelatine (N.Z.), Ltd., atWoolston, successfully crossed theSumner bar at 5.5 p.m. yesterday,and, threading her way up the tor-tuous channel of the estuary,dropped anchor off the MountPleasant jetty 35 minutes later, justat dusk. The crossing .and the tripup the estuary were witnessed bymany hundreds? of spectators, andthere was a string of motor-cars ex-tending from the Cave Rock atSumner to the Heathcote bridge.

It was the intention of CaptainG. Carey, master of the Ngahau, tocross the bar this morning, but con-ditions became so favourable dur-ing the day that early in theafternoon it was decided to makethe crossing on the late afternoontide. That the spring tides are nowdecreasing was also taken into con-sideration.

The Ngahau left the wharf at Lyt-telton at 3.20, drawing about fivefeet nine inches aft. The trip downthe harbour was without incident,and the little vessel was first sightedfrom the Cave Rock when off Tay-lor's Mistake at 4.35. She came onslowly, evidently waiting for thetide, and was convoyed by the life-boat Rescue 11. At 4.55 she stoodin to the bar. 'There was no swell,but the sea was breaking on eitherside of the channel. Standing wellout from the beacon, the Ngahaumade the actual crossing at whatwas for her a fast speed, probably10 knots. Safely across, the littlevessel headed up towards ShagRock.

It was announced before the scowleft Lyttelton that she would prob-ably anchor for the night , near therowing club's shed at Monck's Bay,but the crossing was madfc in suchgood time that Captain Carey de-cided to continue up the river. Thescow stood away along the NewBrighton shore until off Fishermen'sPoint, and then changed her courseto a channel in the middle of theestuary. After passing Rat Islanda sharp turn was made to port, andwhen within 150 yards of the tram-way embankment, the course wasagain altered to parallel with theembankment until the anchor wasdropped a cable's length from theMount Pleasant jetty.

Too much credit cannot be givento the master of the scow, CaptainCarey, and to the pilot, Mr AubreyRound, the well-known Redcliffsand Lyttelton yachtsman, for themasterly manner in which theNgahau was handled during thecrossing of the bar and the naviga-tion of the estuary.

It is understood that, contingenton the safe delivery of the boilerat its works at Woolston, the DavisCompany is contemplating the pur-chase of another boiler of the sametype, which will be delivered in thesame manner.

USEFUL WORKSONLY

UNEMPLOYMENT RE LI El

REPORT TO CHAMBER OF

COMMERCE

An opinion agtimst, the undertak-ing by the Government of schemesof capital expenditure for the re-lief of unemployment if these wouldentail further loans, unless the\were definitely productive and self-

supporting, was expressed by the

special committee on unemploymentof the Canterbury Chamber ofCommerce in its report to the cham-ber last evening. The rcpoi t, whichwas prepared following representa-tions on the subject of unemploy-ment made by the Dunedin Cham-ber of Commerce, expressed ap-proval of the building subsidyscheme.

"The committee is satisfied thatthe ultimate solution of the problemi.s the absorption of men at presentunemployed into profitable indus-try," the report states. "The pros-perity which will make industryand business profitable again willnot, in the committee s opinion, beinduced by artificial stimulus, andsuggestions to utilise unemploymentfunds for the purpose of stimulat-ing a revival of industry, are there-fore unsound. Unemployment ie-

lief is merely a palliative of dis-tress, and cannot be a cure for theconditions which cause the depres-sion, nor can it stimulate enterprise,because enterprise rests on the hopeof profitable industry and reliefwork cannot in its nature becomeor lead to profitable industry. Toexpect this i.s to expect to 'primea pump' which is out of order.

"So far as the immediate futureis concerned* the committee is stillhopeful that it may be possible todirect a greater proportion of cur-rent expenditure on relief to moieuseful work than is at present be-ing done.

Building Subsidy."The committee objects to subsi-

dies on principle, believing thatthey usually bring in their trainmore evils than they cure. Thebuilding subsidy, however, appearsto the committee to be in a differ-ent category from subsidies on otherindustries by reascn of the follow-ing features:

"(a) The building industry is onethat necessitates the expendi-lure of capital, whereas mostindustries are dependent uponincome for their turnover.There are already signs thatprivate capital has been en-couraged into building pro-jects by the subsidy.

"(b) The building industry hasshown a larger shrinkagethan any other internal in-dustry in New Zealand.

"(c) Something like 90 per cent,of the workers normally em-ployed in the building indus-try are at present on the un-employed roll, and it has fc?enestimated that 27 per cent,of the unemployed skilledworkers come from the ranksof building and allied trades.

"(d) The industry's ramificationsextend through channels oftransport to subsidiarybranches in every part of theDominion and every branchof the construction industryfrom cement to hardware.

"(e) The construction of newbuildings brings in its traina natural normal demand incertain other trades such asfurniture and furnishings,instance.

"(f) By reason of the number ofmen transferred from unem-ployment work to buildinfsubsidy work, the funds ofthe Unemployment Boardshould be relieved of a con-siderable burden and the in-direct effects on industryshould also assist the nationalfinances by providing addi-tional taxation.

"The committee considers thebuilding subsidy an interesting ex-periment in view of the special con-ditions which apply to the buildingindustry alone. The results of thisscheme will be observed a-ith in-terest.

Reproductive Works."The Dunedin chamber in its sec-

ond question (concerning reproduc-tive works) in our opinion reallyindicates the most importantmethod of approach, as it is con-sidered that there are certain pro-jects which might be shown' toeither produce income or save ex-penditure to a sufficient extent tocover interest and sinking fund onthe cost of materials. Such caseswould provide relief jobs so far asthe labour is concerned and alsobe sound economic projects from acost of material point of view. Theymay perhaps be a little ahead oftime, but at the same time areworth while, taking into accountthe saving in construction costsbrought about by the utilisation ofunemployed labour.

"To provide a standing avenue ofwork for a large number of mar-ried relief workers, it is suggestedthat works of public value or con-venience be undertaken, close tocentres of population. These shouldinvolve a large proportion of labourand a small proportion of materialand would be for such work asroads, bridges, and tunnels. Mate-rials should be provided as far aspossible out of income or reservesof local bodies.

Possible Undertakings."Possible projects of this naturefor Canterbury are: Rakaia bridge,access to the sea, Rangitata devia-

tion, and irrigation."For single men possible works

in the country include drainingswamps, clearing gorse. pickingstones, fencing, and tree planting,etc., at 10s a week a man, 7s 6dto cover food and 2s 6d pocketmoney, each man to be given oneweek off in three to look for workon 15s pay, out of which he wouldpay his transport. Tools and insur-ance to be paid for by the interestsbenefiting by the work.

"It is suggested that suitable beef;ewe mutton, etc., shall be speciallyretained in the Dominion for distri-bution through the butchers' shopsto relief workers, as part of reliefpay, on a ration ticket scheme. Oneadvantage of this suggestion is thatit will assist to ease the meat exportvolume. The committee also con-siders that unemployables should beclassified and given rations at therate of, say, 7s 6d a week.

"The suggestionsmade follow fairlyclosely on the policy of the Unem-ployment Board, which appears to

be handling a very difficult problemfairly well."hv

TM,- \ vhich was Presentedbj Mi W. Machm, was adopted.

DEBT CONVERSIONCouncil's Attitude

Doubtful

POLICY QUESTIONS NOWBEING CONSIDERED

Although their deliberations <mthe question are not yet finished,some members of the finance com-mittee of the Christchurch CityCouncil do not appear to favour theconversion of the city s internal loanindebtedness under the terms of theLocal Authorities Interest Reduc-tion and Loans Conversion Act.

At a recent meeting of the coun-cil a motion proposed by Cr. 1-Milliken was carried, calling on thecommittee to report on the advisa-bility of conversion. It is under-stood that reports have been sub-mitted to the committee by severalof the council's officers, but thequestion ' is regarded as one ofpolicy, and so far no decision hasbeen made. Within the next fewdays the committee proposes to takeexpert advice on the feasibility offraming a conversion scheme.

Extended Periods Opposed.Some members take the attitude

that it is inadvisable to convertloans to lower rates of interest ifthat means extending the period ofthe loans. The opinion is also heldthat the city should not depart fromthe contract which it has made withbondholders, and that accordinglyit should hold itself in readiness tomeet its full obligations when pros-perous times return and the inter-est reduction imposed by the Gov-ernment is lifted. Whether thesepoints of view will prevail, it isimpossible to say at the moment;but it is believed that they aregenerally favoured by a majorityon the committee and on the coun-cil.

Of the council's total loan indebt-edness of £1,384,000 approximately£1.153.000 is held within New Zea-land and is therefore liable to in-terest reduction and to conversion.

Optional Interest Payments.Another important financial ques-

tion involving policy, which will bebrought before the council at itsmeeting on Monday night, iswhether British holders of deben-tures in loans aggregating £217.800should be paid in sterling or inNew Zealand currency, where thecouncil has that option.

The Auckland Transport Boardhas recently continued its decisionto pay the half-yearly interest onsimilar loans in British currency.The opinion is held among somemembers of the council, however,that this policy was dictated by theGovernment; and there seems someprospect that they may take up analtogether different attitude. Thefinance committee, it is understood,has already given the question someconsideration, and preliminaryaction may be taken by "the councilon Monday night.

REHEARING OFCASES

TRANSPORT APPEAL

! BOARD

ii .

i| REGULATIONS GAZETTED

(I'HES.'i ASSOCXATIO;: TEI.KOP.AM.)

WELLINGTON, September 7.Provision is made in a notice

appearing in to-night's Gazette forthe rehearing of appeals under theTi*ansport Licensing Act, 1931, onthe following grounds:

(a) That the board has decidedany point of law erroneously.

(b) That the verdict has been ob-tained by any unfair or improperpractice of any person or party con-cerned in such appeal, to the preju-dice of any other person.

(c) That material evidence hasbeen discovered or has become avail-able since the hearing of the appeal,which could not have been foreseen,known, or made available before orat the hearing.

(d) That any witness has beenguilty of misconduct likely to affectthe result of the appeal.

(e) That, having regard to thewhole of the circumstances as dis-closed upon such application, it isequitable and proper that the de-termination should be reconsideredin whole or in part.

Commenting on the new regula-tions, the Acting-Prime Minis-ter, the Rt. Hon. J. G.Coates, explained that the regulationwas decided upon as the outcome ofrepresentations made by local bodiesand others throughout the NorthIsland, that some of the recent de-cisions of the Transport Appeal

IBoard had had exceedinglv far-reaching effects, and would result inmany concerns being forced off theroads.

These firms claimed that they werenot in a position to bring completeevidence at the sittings to provehardship to themselves and thetravelling public, said Mr Coates.and from the representations thathad been made by residents in theareas concerned, there was groundto support the request for furtheropportunities of reviewing the wholeof the circumstances.

"The Government has given thematter very careful consideration."said Mr Coates, "and whilst it hasjiio desire to prolong unduly proceed-ings under the Act, with consequentadditional expense to all the partiesconcerned, it feels that with an actoi this kind, where precedents aresingularly lacking, if there is an im-pression abroad that justice is notbeing done it is preferable to providereasonable oppoi'tunities for everyaspect to be thoroughly weighed.(The statute provides that the decis-ions of the Transport Appeal Boardshall _be final, and the Governmentconsiders that it is legitimately ex-ierasing its functions and powers inproviding for rehearings under theconditions laid down."

VISCOUNT GREYDEAD

FOREIGN SECRETARYIN 1914

BUILDER OP TRIPLEENTENTE

A GREAT LIBERAL STATESMAN

(fJi'IIED PRESS ASSOCIATION —BY electkicTBLEOBAPII—COrvniG UT.)

{Received September 7, 9.30 p.m.)

LONDON, September 7.The death has occurred of Vis-

count Grey of Fallodon.

Edward Grey ivas born in April,1862, and educated at Winchester andBalliol College, Oxford. He enteredthe House of Commons in 1885 a.s amoderate Liberal. From 1892 to 1895he was Under-Secretary and from1905 to 1916 Secretary for Foreign Af-fairs, this term being the longest knownin the history of the office. His pre-decessor Lord Lansdowne bequeathedto him the Japanese alliance, the En-tente with France and the beginningsof a rapprochement with Russia, theMoroccan imbroglio and the tension•with Germany. Grey maintained theLansdowne policy in regard to Mo-rocco, Russia, and Austria, while thegradual loosening of the Japanese al-liance was accompanied by vain at-tempts at closer relations with theUnited States. He told the Houseof Commons on August 3, 1914, thatin 1906, when Germany was pressingFrance in Morocco, France asked■whether Britain would aid her,if ■ war should break out withGermany. He replied that hecould promise nothing that wouldnot be supported by public!opinion, but added that, if war wereforced on France the British publicwould rally to her support.

France suggested that the generalstaff of Great Britain should hold imilitary conversations with th£ Frenchstaff, to work out a plan of campaignv/hich could be used if the two coun-tries found themselves fighting acommon enemy. He agreed, on thecondition, frequently expressed indiplomatic correspondence, that thiswould not bind England to act withFrance. Later, Russia was brought lessdirectly into the conversations.

British support of France at Alge-ciras produced a "settlement. In 1907Grey arranged the questions outstand-ing with the United States.

Pre-War Policies.In July, 1911, came the Agadir af-

fair, and the British Foreign Office,through a speech by Lloyd George, is-sued a warning that Britain meant tomaintain her position among thegreat powers. This brought about asettlement between France and Ger-many. In reply to the German sug-gestion that a policy of "encirclement"was on foot Grey said that Britishfriendship with France and Russiaguaranteed that neither of them wouldpursue an aggressive policy towardsGermany.

In 1912 Grey wus a party to send-ing. Lord Haldane to Berlin on an in-formal mission to notify Germany thatBritain would not join in any unpro-voked attack on her, but the GermanGovernment demanded a pledge of Bri-tain's absolute neutrality, if Germanywere at war, and this Grey refused togive. Following this rebuff, Grey inNovember, 1912, exchanged letters withthe French Ambassador agreeing that,if either Britain or France had reasonto expect attack by a third power, theyshould Consult and decide their action.

The Outbreak of War.■ On July 23, 1914, came the Aus-trian ultimatum to Serbia. Grey didhis utmost to save Europe from war.He urged an extension of the time-

limit, proposed conciliation and per-suaded Serbia to accept almost all theAustrian demands, but on July 29 Ger-many, declaring war to be inevitable,tried •to buy Britain's neutrality byUndertaking not to annex French orBelgian territory, if Belgium remainedneutral. Grey declined, but offered, ifpeace were preserved, to reach an ar-rangement whereby the Central Powerswould be assured against aggression bythe Triple Entente. There was no re-sponse and he then asked France andGermany whether they would respectBelgian neutrality. Germany tempor-ised. The negotiations between Russiaand Austria were interrupted by a Ger-man ultimatum to Russia to counter-mand her mobilisation and on August1, Germany declared war on x ranee.Grey demanded that Germany shouldrespect Belgian neutrality, and on herrefusal Britain entered the war.

During the earlier part of the cam-paign much of his attention was occu-pied by problems arising out of thoblockade, which was regarded by theBritish public as too lax, and by theneutrals whose trade was being inter-fered with as too strict. When Asquithformed his Coalition Cabinet in May,1915, he stipulated that Grey should

be retained at the Foreign Office. Hehad done much to bring Italy intothe war, but he failed to prevent Bul-garia from coming in on the otherside. He then offered Cyprus toGreece if she would go to the aid ofSerbia, but this offer was not accepted.By this time Grey's eyesight had givenway and he was almost blind. InDecember, 1916, he resigned, togethervith Asquith.

German Opinions.It is a strange fact that the Ger-mans regarded him as a prince of

liars, although the testimony of PrinceLichnowsky, the German who knewhim best, was that "honesty and sim-plicity" were his chief attributes andthat "lies and intrigue were equallyrepugnant to him." Indeed, hisstraightforward methods were lookedon by the German Foreign Office asveiling some sinister purpose. He wasnot a man of supreme intellectualPower and his own integrity led himto assume it in others whe.i he shouldhave been suspicious. He never wentabroad, and he did not understand theEuropean mind. With ample posses-sions, simple tastes, and no trace ofvulgar ambition, he yet from a senseof duty shouldered for years one ofthe heaviest burdens a statesman hasbeen called on to bear. In the earlier

part of the war he was much malignedby his own countrymen, but time hasbrought a fairer estimate of this manof fine character and high ideals.

fie had succeeded to the baronetcyin 1882, and on his retirement he wascreated Viscount Grey of Fallodon. Atthe end of 1919 he went on a specialmission to Washington. Later he ledthe Liberals in the House of Lords,but in the summer of 1924 he retiredto his estate in Northumberland towrite his reminiscences. His book,Twenty-five Years, appeared in 1925and his Fallodon Papers in 1926. Inthe same year he was installed asChancellor of Oxford University.

Support of Lord Asquith.In the controversy between the

Lloyd George section and the AsquithLiberals in 1926 he sided with thelatter, and was one of the 12 leadingLiberals who signed a letter to LordOxford and Asquith offering him theirunreserved support for the course hehad "felt obliged to take." In Febru-ary, 1927, he said it was impossibleto work with Lloyd George, who wasalways changing his step. A strongsupporter of the League of Nations,he declared that in the case of thedispute between Greece and Bulgariait had prevented a war which wouldhave been inevitable under formerconditions, when anyone who had in-tervened from London or Paris in theinterests of peace would have been re-garded as an imbecile.

Lord Grey's first wife died in 1906from injuries received in a driv-ing accident, and it was nottill _ November, 1921, that heI married again, his second wjfe being'Lady Gleneonner, who had lost herhusband a year before. She was awoman of great beauty and charm andfine character, and her death after anoperation in November, 1928, was agreat blow tft Lord Grey, lor the unionhad been an ideal one. He had al-ready lost three brothers, two of whomhad been killed by wild beasts. Inhis younger days he was a keen sports-man, and all his life a great fisher-man and bird-lover. One of his chiefinterests was the song of birds, andduring his days in the Cabinet it wasalways a blow to him if pressure ofbusiness kept him in London at theweek-end, and prevented him fromwalking in the country and listeningto the birds. Theodore Roosevelt'ssharing of this interest appeai'ed tobe one of the chief reasons why Greywas attracted to him.

His writings reflected his interests,his chief publications being Fly-Fish-ing, Twenty-Five , Years, FallodonPapers, and Charm of Birds.

Lord Grey's peerage dies with him,there being no issue of either of hismarriages, but the baronetcy, to whichhe succeeded on the death of his grand-father in 1882, will pass to his firstcousin (twice removed), CharlesGeorge Grey, born in 1880.

Mr Coates Sets Out ReasonsFor Its Establishment

RELATIONSHIP WITH STATEEXPLAINED

To explain the necessity for the establishment of a centralreserve bank in New Zealand, to describe the (unctions of tkebank which is to be set up by legislation at the coming «sa»M ofParliament, and to reply to criticisms of the nevr system ofbanking which it will introduce, the Minister for Finance ttheRt. Hon. J. G. Coates) has issued an extensive memorandum tmthe information of the public.

One of the most interesting subjects dealt with in the memo-randum is the relationship of the central reserve bank and tieState. Mr Coates makes it clear that although the State will ®«sinterfere with the active management of the bank it wiU laydown by statute the monetary system to be adopted and willalways retain the over-riding control. "The State prescribes tte»system," he sets out, "and the duty is cast upon the bank to con-trol the operation of that system.''

A reply is made to criticisms of the proposal expressed byMr It. W. Gibbs, chairman of the Bank of New Zealand.

The memorandum reads as follow:Our banking system, like that c

most other countries, has evolvedwit:the development of the Dominion, anadequate facilities for commercisbanking (deposits, advances, and exchange operations) are offered bythsix commercial banks doing businesin New Zealand. These banks arorganised primarily to make profitfor shareholders, and the control oour credit and currency, which apresent remains with them, is onl;incidental to maintaining the soundness of their own businesses.

The commercial banks have, noaltogether neglected the public interest and pursued the course vvhiclseems best in the interest of theishareholders. In the long-Tun th<banks' interest must coincide with thinterest of the Dominion as a wholeand it may be said to their credithat the banks operating in New Zealand have in the past acted togethein pursuing a common policy thaperhaps was not always in the immediate interest of their shareholdersdividends. Some of the great bankof the Old World, notably the Banlof England, started as purely profitearning concerns, but have now dcveloped into national institutions ixwhich profit-earning is quite subsidiary to serving the public interests iithe regulation of credit and currency

Credit and Currency.In modern times the control o

credit and currency has become sifundamental to the welfare and prosperity of the people that it has beeirecognised in country after countrythat such vital matters should not b<left in the hands of the commerciabanks. To meet the need the art o:central banking has been evolved.central or reserve bank is sometime:described as a bankers' bank. It i:certainly part of its job to hold thereserves of the commercial banks ancconsolidate and co-ordinate the bank'ing system of the country; but mor<than that is required of a centra]bank. It is really a national institu-tion set up to maintain the stabilityof the currency, and carry into effeelthe monetary policy as determined bjParliament. This is its real functionand, to ensure that it acts solely irthe best interests of the country, th£reserve bank, in the absence of tn«binding traditions (which obviousljcould only be acquired over a longperiod), is hedged round with variousstringent restrictions designed to keejit free from other interests and anjbias or influences other than economicconsiderations.

The control of a central bank ismade effective ndt by means of anjjudicial authority, but by its powerto cut across the business of the trad-ing banks. In order that its weightmay be felt when necessary the re-serve bank cannot compete regularljwith the trading banks. Its funds arenormally held in reserve to bebroughlinto active use if necessary to makeits policy effective or as a stabilisingfactor. • The reserve bank, however,regularly offers, but normally only asa lead to the market, to do certainclasses of business, such as discount-ing of bills and exchange operationat rates fixed by its board from timeto time. For such purposes it will bereadily understood that the reserve

i bank in its capacity as regulator doesnot requir e branches all over the coun-try like a trading bank. For4 NewZealand, one relatively small office inWellington will probably be sufficient

The Bank's Functions.Sir Ernest Harvey, a director of the

Bank of England, when visiting Aus-tralia in 1927, summarised the acceptedfunctions and conditions of a centralbank as follows:

(1) A central bank should possessthe exclusive right of note-issue.

(2) A central bank in its manage-ment and policy should be free fromGovernment control and the influenceof politics.

(3) A central bank should be en-trusted with the entire banking busi-ness of its own Government.

(4) A central bank should be thebanker of the trading banks, andshould act as a settling agent for clear-ing differences between such banks.

(5) A central bank should not ord-inarily compete with the trading banksfor general banking business.

(6) A central bank should ensure tothe public the provision of adequatebanking facilities on reasonable terms.

(7) A central bank should not takemoneys at interest on its own account.

(8) A central bank should quotepublicly the rate at which it is pre-pared to discount approved bills, andshould publish at regular and frequentintervals a clear statement of its posi-tion.

(9) The assets of the central bankshould be of the most liquid characterpossible.

(10) A central bank should not drawor accept bills payable otherwise thanon demand.

(11) A central bank should not en-gage in a general exchange businesson its own account for the purpose ofearning profits.

(12) A central bank should not en-gage in trade nor have any interest inany commercial, industrial, or otherundertaking.

(13) A central bank should have nobranch outside its own country, butmay have agencies abroad.

It should be understood, however,that the powers and duties of anyparticular central bank are governedby its statutes, and naturally varyaccording to the monetary system aslaid down by the Parliament of thecountry concerned. On broad issues

Such of the news on this page as Isso headed has appeared in "TheTimes," and is cabled to Australia andNew Zealand by special permission.It should be understood that the opin-ions are not those of "The Times" un-less expressly stated to be so.

trolling our credit, which is the life-blood of trade and industry, unlessthe motives of the board of manage-ment are free not only from thefact, but also from the suspicion, ofbeing influenced by other than theeconomic welfare of the Dominion asa whole. It is highly desirable thatall members of the community, what-ever their political leanings, shouldhave the utmost confidence in the re-serve bank as a national institution.If the management was wholly ap-pointed by the Government of theday, it is obvious that this would notbe the case, for at least there wouldalways be the possibility that the ap-pointment of directors would be in-fluenced by any political questions orpolicies which happened to be thesubject of sharp differences of opin-ion at the time. On the other hand,aa the well-being of the whole com-munity could be materially affectedby decisions of the board of manage-ment, it is advisable that the Govern-ment, which carries an overriding re-sponsibility for the conduct of theaffairs of the Dominion generally,should be in a position to en-sure that a wise selection of directors

3s made by the shareholders of theinstitution. To this end it is not un-usual for the State to reserve thepower of veto over the appointment ofthe governor and d~~nty-governor oreven over the appox.itment of thewhole of the directorate. In othercases some of the directors are ap-pointed by the shareholders and someby the State. As a further safeguardagainst precipitate action on the partof the shareholders or the Governmentof the day, and to achieve an essen-tial measure of continuity and sta-bility of management, provision ismade for directors to retire in rota-tion, so that, apart from the initialappointment on the establishment ofthe bank, at no time will a majority ofthe board come up for appointment.

While independent management ofthe bank is necessary, for success inits actual operations close co-operationwith the Minister for Finance and theTreasury and with other financialauthorities is practically essential.Each must have an intimate know-ledge of what the other is doing,otherwise two powerful financialforces working in opposing directionswould tend to render both ineffective.

Relation with State.Although experience has shown that

it is not advisable for the State to in-terfere in the active management ofthe bank, it is clearly the function ofthe Stat© to lay down by statute themonetary system to be adopted. TheState prescribes the system—be it goldstandard, sterling exchange, or anyother standard—and the duty is castupon the bank to control the operationof that system.

Here it should be observed that theidea, often met with, that in givingthe reserve bank the right of noteissue for a period of years Parliament

, is surrendering Its right to determinematters o£ monetary policy is quitefallacious. The time limit on therights of note Issue is merely for thepurpose o£ automatically bringing theact up for review after a period suffi-ciently long to obtain adequate experi-ence of its operation, but it is open toParliament to amend the act at anytime.

All fundamental issues, such as theframework of the monetary system orthe basis of the monetary unit, are de-termined by statute, and it is always•within the power of Parliament toamend or repeal a statute. Thus Par-liament can never surrender its over-riding control. A good example of thiswas recently furnished by the UnitedStates, where Congress in its wisdomdeliberately suspended the gold stan-dard as a matter of monetary policy.In the same way, if at soma futuredate Parliament laid it down that theNew Zealand pound was to be worthonly half the pound sterling or somany pounds of wool or butter, thereserve bank would have no optionbut to work on any such basis, and en-deavour to maintain it at the pre-scribed value, It is only the adminis-tration • of the monetary system thatshould be free from political influence.

Although the bank is constituted onthe company model in order to securethe benefit Of a form of managementthat has been found the most succcess-lul In all large-scale business, the cen-tral bank is hedged round with legis-lative restrictions and safeguards alldesigned to ensure that the board ofdirectors remains free and unbiased incarrying out its all-important duty ofsafeguarding the currency and control-ling the credit of the country in thebest interests of the people as a whole.

No Vested Interests.In this respect the Reserve Bank of

New Zealand Bill embodies the ex-perience of other countries in pro-viding for the following:—

(1) That only shareholders who areBritish subjects ordinarily resident

V in New Zealand are entitled to• vote at meetings of shareholders.

This means that companies orother .corporate bodies could notvote.

i<2) Every such shareholder would beentitled to one vote for each shareheld, but with a limit of 500 votes.With* 100,000 shares as is proposedthe ideal would be to-have 100,000shareholders adequately repre-senting every economic activity inthe Dominion. The shares in thefirst instance are to be allottedby the Minister for Finance. Oncea year a list of the shareholdersmust be sent to the Treasury.

(3) No person shall hold office as gov-ernor, deputy-governor, or direc-tor who is not a British subject bybirth or who is a member of Par-liament or is employed in thepublic service or by any otherbank..The governor and deputy-governor,whose appointment must be ap-proved by the Governor-General-j in-Council, cannot engage in any

j other business or act as director ofJ any other concern, or hold any/ interest- in any other bank,/ whether in New Zealand or else-

where.<3) To ensure that the directorate is

representative; two of the direc-tors must he men who are orhave b<fen actively engaged in pri-

; mary Industry, and two in indus-I trial or commercial pursuits. Only

/one of the directors may at thesame time be a director of anyother bank.

These legislative restrictions would•effectively prevent any large vestedinterests'from gaining control of thereserve bank and obviate the possibil-ity of the policy of the board beingdominated by any one section of thecommunity. The ideal aimed at isfreedom from the influence of politicson the one hand and of the tradingbanks and vested interests generallyon the other hand.

iTHE PRESENT BANKINGSYSTEM

The third section of the article dis-cusses the relationship between cen-tral banking and the monetary stand-ard. The idea that the establishmentof the bank implies the adoption of chegold standard as a matter of monetary

I s" s*:ateß> mistaken. TheSS. characteristics of the New Zea-MMEoUowgtag system are summarised

the system is,and always has been, a sterling-

(3) That our external trade is clearedthrough London, and the Londonbalances of the banks are the chieffactor in regulating the volume ofcredit in New Zealand.

(4) That the banking habit isstrongly developed in New Zea-land, and notes are very subsidi-ary, being used for litlte beyondpayment of wages, petty disburse-ments, and till-money.

(5) That the legislative restrictions onthe note issue have been quite in-operative, as the demand has al-ways been considerably less than

j the maximum amount the banksj were in a position to issue.

I (6) That the volume of credit hasregulated the note issue, and notvice versa.

Banking- Control,

Throughout the war and since, thepre-war sterling-exchange system wasmaintained without any fundamentalchange, and the rise in New Zealandprices which reached the peak about1920 and the subsequent fall in priceswas not due to any independent ac-tion taken in New Zealand, but wassimply a reflex of a similar rise andfall in British export prices. Econo-mic facts and the traditional exchangepolicy of the banks—which hithertohave pursued a common policy—arcat present the only real regulative fac-tors of the banking system.

The control, however, was not delib-erate and disinterested, but was simplyevolved as the system best suited forthe purpose of carrying on commer- jcial banking in the Dominion. Suchvital matters obviously should not be jleft to the discretion of institutionsthat may at times have to choose be-:tween the national interests and theimmediate interests of their sharehold-ers, who look upon the commercial (banks as profit-earning concerns. Ob-viously the national interests should al-ways prevail, and to ensure that thiswill be the case it is essential that the |control be placed in the hands of anational institution set up for thatpurpose alone.

, IThe fourth section answers the cnti- icism that New Zealand is too smallto have a central bank, and describes Iin. some detail the provisions of theCentral Reserve Bank Bill.

SOME RESERVE BANKMISCONCEPTIONS

Much of the criticism of the pro-posal to establish a reserve bank inNew Zealand is undoubtedly .due toa misunderstanding of the functionsof such an institution. For instance,It is said that the setting-up of a cen-tral bank means placing the controlof our currency under the dominationof the Bank of England. This idea isfallacious. The bulk of our trade iswith Great Britain and we have largedebts payable in sterling. In addition,we are also linked to Great Britainby strong ties of ancestry and senti-ment. As is only too evident at pre-sent, the prosperity of the Dominionhinges to a great extent on the courseof events in Great Britain, and it isuseless to pretend that we can be in-different to the monetary policy of theMother-country or do other than workin close consultation with the Britishauthorities. We do it, however, be-cause it is in our own interest to doso, and not because we are dragoonedinto it by pressure lrom the Bank ofEngland. We lay down by act of|Parliament the basis of our monetarysystem and appoint a New Zealandboard of directors to manage thatsystem in the best interests of theDominion.

Monetary Independence.Our monetary independence is much

move likely to be obtained under asound and well-managed central bankthan under the present haphazard ar-rangement. Consider the present posi-tion. All matters pertaining to ourcurrency and credit are at presentlargely in the hands of the six trad-ing banks carrying on business in theDominion. These banks are commer-cial institutions and as such are natur-ally primarily concerned with earningprofits for their shareholders. Thebanks act together in fixing rates ofdeposits and exchange and in othermatters conducive to their commonwelfare, but otherwise there is strongcompetition between them for busi-ness. In such circumstances, they can-,not have any defined or consciouspolicy relating to the volume of moneyand credit as a whole or take intoconsideration the effect of their unitedtransactions on the price-level of com-modities in general. This is particu-larly the case when only one of thesix banks has a New Zealand boardof directors and four of the remain-ing five are predominantly Australianinstitutions with much larger interestsin the Commonwealth than in theDominion.

Another statement given wide circu-lation is to the effect that to establisha central bank means bringing ourpeople within the ambit of a vast con-spiracy alleged to be operatingthrough central banks for the eco-nomic enslavement of the world ingeneral. The whole idea is fantastic,but if there were anything in it wecould not hope to avoid our full shareof the consequences unless we could

! make ourselves economically inde-pendent of the rest of the world, andthat, of course, is impossible. In fact,we are more dependent than mostcountries on international trade, andour present position is eloquent testi-mony of the effect on this Dominionof a fall in the overseas prices for

: primary products whatever may be the; cause of such fall.

Reply to Bank Chairman.The chairman of the Bank of New

Zealand in his last annual report toshareholders offered certain criticisms,his main points being as follows:(a) That the bank is being set up at

the dictation of London financiers.(b) That it is not reasonable to re-

quire trading banks to hand overto another proprietary bank 7 percent, of their demand deposits and3 per cent, of their fixed deposits.

(c) That a restriction of credit wouldbe Imposed on the trading banks.

(d) That the South African ReserveBan£ had failed to meet thesituation, and had lost a large partof its capital.

(e) That the Federal reserve system ofAmerica was unable to avert therot occasioned by the closing ofsome 5000 banks, neither was itable to prevent America having togo off the gold standard.

(f) Quoted British Chancellor of theExchequer as saying at Ottawa,"This is no time for rash experi-ments in monetary matters."

As to these points, the first is defin-itely incorrect. The proposal is beingundertaken because it is considered tobe in the best interests of the Do-minion. The idea originated in NewZealand, and a British expert was in-vited to come here and advise theGovernment on the matter. It istrue, however, that practically everymonetary conference since 1920 has re-

I commended the step to all countries| that have not already got a central

! On' the second point, the descriptionof the reserve bank as "another pro-prietary bank" is hardly appropriate;and, as for the alleged hardship ontrading banks being required to keepminimum deposits with the reservebank, an extract from the report ofthe MacmiUan Committee on Financeand Industry declares that it is in theinterest of commercial bankers tocarry small reserves themselves andto have one institution carrying a largereserve available in times of emer-gency.

Provision of Credit.There is no justification for the

suggestion that the setting-up of thereserve bank involved a restrictionof credit. With the gold and sterlingassets available the trading bankswill have no difficulty whatever inmeeting all their commitments to thereserve bank for notes and feservesagainst their present volume of de-posits. In fact, the assets handed overwhen pooled in the hands of the re-serve bank will be sufficient to formthe basis for an expansion of creditif such is necessary or desirable. Thebank will be required by law to keepa minimum reserve in gold or liquid'.erling assets of at least 25 per

9ent of its demand liabilities,but whenit commences operations thfe jreserve

will probably be treble that percen-tage.

Concerning the references to theSouth African Reserve Bank, en-quiries addressed to the Governmentof that country brought the followingreply:—

"The ability of the central bankto function as intended was provedwhen South Africa remained on thegold standard and Great Britainabandoned it, and also when it wasdecided to link Union currencywith sterling. The central bank hasperformed successfully its primaryfunction of maintaining the coun-try's currency as by law estab-lished. The central bank affordsmachinery for giving effect to theGovernment's currency policy."

The Federal Reserve System.It is well known that the United

States Government departed from thegold standard as a deliberate act ofGovernment policy and not from ne-cessity. Furthermore, all the informa-tion received shows that while manymember banks of ;he Federal systemfailed, by far the largest numberwere non-members. In fact, it is re-cognised that the fundamental weak-ness of the American banking systemis the existence of a large number ofsmall independent banks outside theFederal Reserve system. Authoritiesagree that otherwise the Federal Re-serve system is sound and beneficial,and it is difficult to say what wouldhave happened during, the recentcrisis if it had not been in existence.Similai'ly, when Great Britain wasforced off the gold standard, the Bankof England was not able to prevent it,but a disaster of much greater mag-nitude would probably have happenedif the bank had not been there tocontrol the situation.

On the last point being referred tothe British Chancellor of the Ex-chequer, he stated that his remarksin question had no reference to theproposal to establish a reserve bankin New Zealand, but, as the contextshows, were directed to policies ofa totally different character. In fact,his remarks were directed at noveland untried monetary systems such asare being urged in this and mostother, countries 10-day4 ,

ATTACK ON LABOUR PARTY"

Alleging that the Labour party[ lacked constructive policies or ideas,

Freeman, official Coalition candi-date for Lyttelton, launched a warmattack on Labour, in speaking at St.IMartins last night. The candidate re-'ceived an excellent hearing, almost jfree from interjection, from an at-1tendance of approximately 40 persous,and at the close of the meeting he wasaccorded a vote of thanks and con-fidence.

Mr G. H. Bradford presided, and MrH. Holland, M.P., addressed the meet-ing before Mr Freeman's speech.

Mr Freeman outlined the measuresinstituted by the Coalition Govern-;ment, claiming that they had savedNew Zealand from ruin.

In referring to the Labour party'sclaim that £750,000 had been collectedin unemployment taxation from womenand girls, Mr Freeman opened hisfirst attack. "The figures the Labourparty is using are out of date, obsoleteand inaccurate," he said. "The mem-bers of the Labour party merely striveto pull down, criticise, abuse, or en-deavour to stir up strife. The Labourparty will say anything if it thinksit can get away with it. I heard theorganiser for (he Labour party in thisicampaign state that if the Labourparcy was put into power it would irestore wages, guarantee boom pricesto farmers, distribute new boots, newsuits of clothes, and now carpets. Didyou ever hear such clap-trap?'"

Labour Party's Attitude.Mr Freeman added that he wns

proud to beloag to the Coalition, whichhad done its duty, however unpleasantthat duty was or however unpopularits actions must be with some sec-tions. Figures to-day proved that theDominion's tide of prosperity hadturned for the better, and on the factsthere was no refuting that statement.The Labour party did not admit it—itdid not want to see it. The morechaos and the more trouble the betterit liked it—at least the better it wasfor trade union secretaries. Mr Free-man quoted figures to support his con-tention that better days were dawn-ing.

The candidate added that if theLabour party had any policy of recon-struction it comprised interferencewith currency, credit control, and ahost of artificial remedies, many ofwhich had been tried by Mr Lang inNew South Wales, and which hadbrought business in that State to thebrink of ruin. The Coalition Govern-ment had put up a creditable t>er-formance. The credit of New Zealandwas good, the national debt had beenkept down, the country was solvent,unemployed had been cared for, andsocial services had been maintained. Ifthe social services were expanded assuggested by the Labour party, addi-tional taxation was inevitable.

After several questions had beenanswered, one man proposed a voteof thanks to, and no-coniidence in, MrFreeman. The motion was greetedwith laughter, and when anothermotion was proposed and secondedthat Mr Free-man be accorded a voteof thanks and confidence, that motionWas carried to the accompaniment ofloyd applause.

Mrs McCombs Criticised.In a preliminary address, Mr- Hol-

land said that he could not help beingamused by the efforts of Messrs E. J.Howard and H. E. Holland, of theLabour party, in building a man ofstraw—the invitation to the Coalitionbogey—to knock him down again.They,had said that the Labour partyhad never been asked to join theCoalition. Nobody had said that itwas. It was asked to join in aNational Government, however.Referring to the present by-election,Mr Holland added that the candidntefor the Labour party, Mrs E. R. Mc-Combs, was a member of the Christ-church City Council, of the Christ-church Tramway Board, and the NorthCanterbury Hospital Board. She wason various important sub-committees ofthose bodies also. To combine all suchduties with those of a member of Par-liament he considered a physical im-possibility.

He also criticised Mrs McCombs'sstatements that the Government wasdoing nothing for unemoloyed womenand girls. Mr Holland said that everygirl unemployed and away from home,had her rent paid for her, and if sho|was on relief work half her rent. Food,clofhing, and 5s for half a week's workwas another arrangement under reliefschemes. Once Mrs McCombs hadbeen asked to join the women's com-mittee administering the funds inChristchurch but had refused. It wasnot very dignified for her, under suchcircumstances, to stand now on theother side of the fence ancj criticiseinaccurately.~

LIVELY MEETING

MR BROADFOOT ATWOOLSTON

IN'OISV INTEKJECTOttS

Mr W. J". Broadfoot, M.P. for Wal-tonio, who spoke at Woolston lastevening on behalf of the Coalitioncandidate, Mr F. W. Freeman, had tostand up to a persistent barrage of.interjections and questions from theaudience oi about a hundred electorswho tilled a large room in the Wools-ton School. Mr Broadfoot spoke for anhour, and using his strong voice effec-tively stood up well to the verbalbombardment. For another hall-hourhe answered questions on practicallyevery subject which could concern a

New Zealand politician, and was thengiven a hearty vole of thanks, movedby one of the most persistent intcr-jectors, Mr C. E. Baldwin. The meet-ing ended with cheers for the Labourcandidate, Mrs E. R. McCornbs.

Mr J. Radcliftc, who presided,opened the meeting with a tribute toMr J. McCombs, the former memberfor Lyttelton, and asked for a fairhearing for me speaker.

Mr Broadfoot opened his addresswith an explanation for his appear-ance in support of Mr Freeman, stat-ing that the cause of the Labour can-didate had been espoused by theleader, Mr Holland. Consequentlymembers of the Coalition took up thecudgels for Mr Freeman.

"Who pays your expenses?" askeda voice.

"I pay my expenses and no one else.I have always done so, out, of myown pocket," retorted the speaker.

"You'll get my vote," was theanswer.

The Issue Clouded."The issue has been very clouded

because we find our opponents alleg-ing that we as a Government havebeen responsible for the depression,"said Mr Broadfoot, "but when theposition is looked into it is found thatthe causes of the depression in themain are external—causes over whichthis country has no control. We havehad a tremendous run of good for-tune, it cannot be denied, but whenwe were prosperous we did all ourgreat public works on borrowing. Thatwas sound enough while prices werehigh, but prices fell, and in the lastfour years the value of our exportshas gone down by £G7,000,0fW."

The main external causes werethree, continued Mr Broadfoot. Theyincluded war debts, which were non-productive. He agreed with the opinionthat the slate should be wiped ofall war debts.

Another direction in which difficul-ties were being created was the cur-rency system. The time was overduefor a reform in the system, and thespeaker favoured a scheme for theconsideration of all the remedies whichhad been suggested.

Mr C. E. Baldwin: You've got Pro-fessor Tocker, and the other pro-fessors.

Mr Broadfoot: Yes, and a good thingwe have men like that. I am goingto have something to say about theway men on your side have talkedabout them.

Mr Baldwin started another inter-jection, but was promptly advised byseveral voices to "Shut-up."

International Trade.Mr Broadfoot expressed his belief in

some form of internationalism in trade.Since the Great War a spirit ofnationalism had been developing, liesaid. Hq held that it was not possiblefor any country to be altogether self-reliant. Countries were more or lessdependent on one another,and whethernations liked it or not, they wouldhave to scale down tariff walls andlet international trade How, to getback to the prosperity of 1014.

New Zealand had taken the wrongcourse in its industrial developmentby concentrating on secondary indus-tries which hacl not flowed naturallyfrom the great primary industries ofthe country, The speaker favouredthe development of gold mining, an in-dustry which he thought should neverhave been allowed to die.

"No other country in the world hasdone as much or taxed its people soheavily as New Zealand to provideunemployment relief," was thespeaker's answer to another interjec-tion, but the barrage of shouts and,questions became so persistent that thochairman had to ask for a fair chancefor the speaker, a suggestion received,-with shouts of agreement from manyof the audience.

The Labour Party.After some more interjections, which

the speaker said he did not mind, heassailed the Labour party. Were there jtwo policies in the parly? he asked,Did the party give the people onepolicy and keep another up its sleeve?

"Occasionally they tell you a little,but you are never told that the mainobjective of the Labour party is thesocialisation of everything," he con-tinued. There was a distinct cleavagein the thought of the Labour party-members 011 whether socialisation wasgood. It was not good, the speakerasserted, and occasionally a memberof the Labour party broke out andgave a picture of what could be ex-pected "I confess that if the partyhad a new policy, a new leader, andnew members in the House it miPhtbe a good party," he said.

The first voice to be raised at qucs-tion time asked if the Government in-tended to raise the sales tax. MrBroadfoot knew nothing of it.The answer to a question, was itfair to tax unemployed women andthen not give them any benefit, wasthat xt was hard for legislation to pro-vide for every case. Mr Broadfootsaid he thought that the hardshipclause could be exercised by anywoman with a just grievance. Therewas no reason why an amendment tothe legislation should not be intro-duced.

STRONG ACTIONNECESSARY

POLICY OF COALITION

I DEFENDEDj

1 31H BODKIN AT CASHMERE

A defence of the Coalition Go\ern-ment's policy as embodied- in recon-struction measures passed during thelast two years was made by Mr W. A.Bodkin, M.P. for Otago Central, in anaddress to 35 persons in the Masonic.Hall, Cashmere, last evening. Mr W.W. ScarlV presided.

Mr Bodkin said that although he was

entering the campaign on Mr Free-man's behalf, he was not doing so inany strong party spirit. He was oneof the Liberal members of the Gov-ernment and he desired to explainwhy that section of the House had de-cided to throw in its lot with, theCoalition. It was obvious that theGovernment had no other course butto adopt the policy if had adopted- Itwas safe to sav that had they beenat the helm to-day, Seddon, Ballance,and Ward would have been forced todo what the Government had done tocombat the depression. The Coalitionhad not mapped out for itself an easypath; but even the Labour pavtywould have been unable to escape thecarrying out of very unpleasant taskshad it been in power during the diffi-cult days of the depression.

When the full force of the depres-sion struck the country, the nationalincome fell by 20 per cent. Beforethen the country had spent more onsocial services than any other countryin the Empire on a population basis,and it was found quite impossible tocarry this financial burden. The Gov-ernment's policy had been blamedfor the unemployment problem, butwhen the national income fell, industrycould not afford to employ the num-bers it, could in times ot prosperity.

Sir Jospch Ward's Promise.A voice: Did not Ward say he would

employ them all?Mr Bodkin said Sir Joseph Ward

may iiave said that in. the heat of de-bate; but he thought the depressionwould be only temporary. As it was,Sir Joseph Ward started public worksand absorbed many of the workless.Had the Coalition not adopted a strongline of action the Dominion wouldhave drifted into the position of NewSouth Wales under Mr Lang. Hewould not be drawn into the contro-

! versy over the question whether theLabour party had been asked to join

j the Coalition Government. New Zea-land expected every public man to dohis duty, and he would leave it to theLabour party to say why it had re-fused to co-operate in solving thecountry's problems.

The Government had been blamedfor the unemployment, problem on theground that it had reduced the pur-chasing power of the people, but un-employment was increasing long be-fore wages were cut. Had the Gov-ernment refused to cut down its ex-penditure it would in time have beenunable to pay wages, pensions, or any-thing a'; all. It was more humane toreduce wages, fr»r the only othercourse would have been widespreadretrenchment.

The leader of the Labour parly hadsaid the Government was to blame forunemployment. But only the indus-tries of the country could providework, and the Government had doneall it could to help industry. Mr H.E. Holland said the youth of the coun-try should be drafted into industry,but. industry was privately controlled,and Mr Holland did not say how in-dustry was to be able to absorb moreworkers. ■ The only way local indus-tries could be aided as Mr Hollandwished was through a protectivetariff. Mr Holland, however, did notamplify the implications of his plati-tude.

Labour ami Industry.Labour said it would stimulate pro-

duction and create national assetsagainst which currency could be is-sued. Had production stood still? Onthe contrary, the volume of productionhad risen very greatly, and real wealthas represented by primary producehad been considerably increased. Norhad there been any restriction ofcredit. The financial houses had. neverwithheld credit,, but capital had notbeen enticed out for the simple rea-son that it could not produce profits-

The Labour party to-day said itspolicy was on all fours with the Roose-velt recovery plan in the UnitedStates. This was a flight of imagina-tion. America could not afford todeny a large share of the respon-sibility for the world's presenttroubles. She had erected a high tariffwall shutting out imports, but she wasat last realising that she could nothave a one-way trade. America wasmaking a last desperate attempt to winthe economic war. If she could createan artificial atmosphere she mightstimulate production; but she woulddump her surplus goods on overseasmarkets to the detriment of workersin other countries. To this endAmerica had debased her currency.

New Zealand was well on the road torecovery; it was, in fact, definitely"round the corner." (Laughter.)There had been a steady rise inmetal prices, and it was clear that con-fidence was returning. The rise incommodity prices would mean mil-lions to the country, for the moneywould have beneficial effects through-out; all sections of the community.

The speaker was accorded a vote ofthanks.

MRS E. R. MCCOMBS

WEST LYTTELTON MEETING

Mrs E. R. McCombs, the Labourparty candidate for the Lyttelton elec-tion, addressed a meeting at St.Saviour's Hall, West Lyttelton, lastnight. The Mayor (Mr W. T. Lester;presided, and there was an attendanceof more than 100.

The candidate spoke on the linesof her previous addresses. She saidthe Labour party held that the coun-try needed a new outlook. Inaction <.was not to be tolerated. The people .of New Zealand could not possibly :wait until the present depressionrighted itself. The Government wastied to the old economists, while theLabour party was looking to the neweconomists. She attacked the Govern-ment's retrenchment policy in expendi-ture on education, and said she wouldwork for the restoration of the cutsmade in old age pensions and maternitybonuses. The candidate said that shehad every sympathy for those farmerswho were really in difficulties, but theGovernment must realise that therewere other sections of the communitydeserving of consideration.

"The Acting-Prime Minister, anotherMinister of the Crown, and privatemembers are being brought into thiselectorate to fight me," said Mrs Mc-Combs. "I feel immensely flattered.(Applause..) My opponent has been be- jlore you with a tunnel road schemein one hand, and a seaplane base inthe other hand. When he comes tothis side of the hill he talks tunnelroad, and when he goes to the otherhe talks seaplane base. I have neithertunnel road nor seaplane base to offeryou. I have too much respect for theintelligence of the electors to promiseany such thing."

On the motion of Mrs A. J. McGilp, 1seconded by Mrs A. Jones, the can-didate was accorded a vote of thanksand confidence. Mr F. Langstone, M.P., 'also gave a short address. '

Meeting at Heathcote.Yesterday afternoon Mrs McCombs

addressed a meeting of members ofthe Methodist Ladies' Guild at theMethodist schoolroom at Heathcote.There was an attendance of about 50.-Mrs McCombs was presented with abouquet and a gold horse-shoe. At theconclusion of her address she was ac-corded a vote of thanks and confidence,ii'

EDUCATION ANDTHE BODY

ETHICS AND PHYSICALTRAINING

WILDING MEMORIAL LECTURE

The Wilcling Memorial lecture, de-livered biennially at CanterburyCollege according to the terms ofan endowment made by the motherof Captain Anthony Wilding and

■ Miss Gladys Wilding, was deliveredin the College Hall last evening byDr. R. Lawson, professor of educa-tion at Otago University. Thetitle of Dr. Lawson's address was,"The physical aspect of educationand social life: the quest of theethical and beautiful through thephysical." There was a large at-tendance, including members of theboard of governors, members of thecollege stall', and graduates andundergraduates. The chairman of jthe board of governors (Mr C. T. IAschman) presided and introducedDr. Lawson.

"A lecture of this kind," said MrAschman, "seems to possess a morehuman appeal than any memorial ofwood or stone, since it is an appealfrom human being to human be- jing." Anthony Wilding had won forhimself a pre-eminent place in anathletic sport which had broughtfame to his native land, but it wasmore by his high conduct and finesportsmanship on the field that hewould be remembered. His sister,Gladys Wilding, had brought honourto Canterbury College by her attain-ments in the intellectual world.

Social Implications.In opening his address Dr. Lawson

said that he had decided to deal, withthe subject of physical education andsocial life as laid down in the regula-tions governing the lectureship and totake the subject as a whole, to touchon many of its manifestations and toendeavour to show the bearing ofthese on social life. "My reason forattempting this," he said, "is thatcommunal life, the life of interdepend-ent relations both between classeswithin the State and between Statesthemselves, has in our day passed froma mere adumbration of a vague, faroff commonwealth of man to the ac-tual interpenetrations which demandeverywhere the attention of the states-man, the economist and the educa-tionist. Social implications, domesticand foreign, are filling our thoughtsand ■ with them are linked' biologicaland hence physical views."

It was impossible to think about edu-cation at all without assuming the ex-istence of a society, said Dr. Lawson.Every creator of a society from So-crates to Lenin and Mussolini hadhad to formulate a training schemeby which to fashion the bearers of hisnew system and indispensable in thisscheme was the physical education ofthe citizens and of the citizens-to-be.In Italy attention was given to thebody for the sake of national efficiency,in Russia for the sake of social im-provement.

A.t physical education, indeed alleducation, became enriched in ethicalcontent in proportion to its incorpor-ation in the processes of group action.As the child's games increased in com-plexity, which was an increase in theirsocial manifestations as well as in

their individual skill, higher intellec-tual and ehtical demands were madeon the participants. In modern Methe evolution of society was linkedwith attention to health, private andpublic, and the state of. our healthhad a bearing on the health of ourState.

The Greek Ideal.Aniens had bequeathed to us the

ideal of a combination of grace andstrength, said Dr. Lawson, but thesocial idea had not been uppermostin the mind of the Greeks, nor, prob-ably, in the minds of the men of theRenaissance who had revived theGreek ideal. Dr. Lawson discussed thephysical ideals and practice of Greeceand the Platonic view that a goodsoul made a good body, and referredto the decadence of the Greek ideal ofbeauty as shown on the coins andvases of successive centuries whichreached its final debasement of maninto an animal in the figures of Romanprize-lighters in mosaics dating fromthe year 200 A.D. or in the dreadfulmuscle-bound Farnese Hercules of thesame date.

Dr. Lawson ascribed the reason forthis decadence to the triumph of pro-fessionalism over the amateur. Theamateur was a lover of natural joy-ous and beautiful forms of self-express-ion. satisfied with his effort as such,,looking for no money reward and en-tering into eager rivalry with otherson like conditions. Such an eager de-sire might be under no disciplinary re-strictions at first, but it soon foundthem in the very laws of the bodyand of nature, so that artistic self-ex-pression had to submit itself to a dis-cipline and in group games this disci-pline was inevitably moral. In fact,group contests at their best constituteda sphere in which art and moralscould blend without loss to either. Theperfect amateur was, in his province,a moral aesthete—he was a stylist anda gentleman.

Growth of Team Games."It is a strange commentary on

human insight," said Dr. Lawson,"that what the wisest philosophershave not been able to discover, ordin-ary men or youngstersacting in groupsupon the instinctive promptings oftheir nature have brought into being—I mean the outcome of the play in-stinct as it emerged in the team gamesof the English schools a century ago.It might have been imagined that astudy of the nature of society wouldhave led some thinker to use a vastsource of delight, energy, and moraltraining by inventing team games aswe know them, but this was hiddenfrom the wise and prudent and was anupthrust, an evolutionary emergence,from the subconscious play mind ofthe English."

Dr. Lawson remarked that in com-petitive sports, as in the public drama,there was a reciprocity between actorand onlooker. Played before largecrowds of enthusiastic onlookers theynecessarily exerted an influence be-yond the physical one. The by-pro-duct in the modern world would beethical, not aesthetic. If we couldmaintain the principal of amateurismthe diffusion of the knowledge of howto live on good terms with our neigh-bours was likely to be the outcome ofmodern games. The sense of honourtogether with the spirit pf chivalryfostered by games was a becjuest fromthe Renaissance and medievalism—-partly romantic and partly heroic, itwas the gentleman's code made sociallyexplicit in our day and pervading allclasses of education.

Place of the Spectator."Bitterness between teams engenders

bitterness in the onlookers, who aremostly partisans, conscious or uncon-scious," said Dr. Lawson. "Partisanshipcarried to excess destroys the sense ofjustice, and at its worst it tomob frenzy. It would be unwise,even if it were possible, to abolishpublic contests to which admission isgained by payment, since to love spec-tacles is as natural as to love to par-ticipate in games, but New Zealandshould see to it that all boys at school-—I mean the onlookers particularly inall school matches—should be taughtto appreciate the other side and torefrain from public manifestations ofhostility. This is an educationalproblem and I should account as greatan educational triumph to refine themob spirit as to develop economic oreducational efficiency." .

In British communities the racialspirit was fostered by competitivesports, said Dr. Lawson, but we didnot follow as we should the cult ofbeauty and symmetry as a racial idealin our physical training. However,physical training in this country hadmade great advances. We had gotrid of the drill sergeant instructor, wehad begun to put the physical instruc-tor on a level with other teachers, andit was taken as axiomatic that everyteacher should be physically educatedBut the good results alreaay achievedmust not be lost through excessive re-trenchment. We could not all bebeautiful, but by early training wecould remove many blemishes.

Instruction of Women."The level of physical instruction in

girls' schools is, I think, generallyhigher than in boys," said Dr. Law-son. "I suppose this is because untillately games for girls have not beenencouraged. Whether women ought toattempt to rival Atalanta m speed Ido not know, but from some of thechampionship tennis I have seen _1think the strain of these matches istoo great for women. My conviction isthat violent games and sports are notin consonance with women's physicalconstitution. .

"But girls require physical educa-tion outside the gymnasium as wellas in it. The group game in the openair gives exhilaration and a sense ofdependence on and responsibility toothers. Women are essentially anti-democratic—class distinctions are lifeto them—and sport may democratisethem."

Dr. Lawson stressed the necessity,for educating man as a whole, forrealising the unity of his existence, andunderstanding that by starving onepart of a man his whole existencewas affected. Nevertheless, he be-lieved that mind was the superior partof man's being, and that over andabove'mind in its natural sense wassomething which might be called soulor spirit—in Plato's words that"Man is a heavenly, not an earthlyplant."

The Future of Our Race."Physical welfare is a primary con-

cern of the State," said Dr. Lawson.| "In the new world of to-day everyistate roust be a eugenic state. We[have yet to realise that a man's Mebegins before he is born and tnateducation, to be successful, must be-gin at the beginning and continue tothe end. The Plunket system is physi-cal education, and all our care for theweak and helpless is physical edu-cation."

Dr. Lawson advocated the prepara-tion of girls for their future respon-sibilities by sex education in theschools or at the age of 17 years.He discussed the general question ofschool hygiene in detail, and showedthat considerable improvements hadalready taken place in New Zealand 1in the standard of health in schools."In the new era that is coming tous' he concluded, "I see the humanbody educated to strength, health,and grace. I see communities devoted'to games as a means of -ood life, notas life itsell, and I see the allianceox physical education with ethicaland aesthetic agencies that shall re-move from amongst, us all that is uglyand degrading and create a worldthat shall be beautiful to look uponand good to live in." *

MR HILLS'S MEETINGAT REDCLIFFS

AN ATTENTIVE HEARING

"I am not speaking in any spirit ofbombast, but the way I have gainedadmirers ancl supporters during the lastfew days is wonderful," said Mr E. L.Hills, the Independent Labour candi-date in the Lyttelton by-election, inopening an address in the RedcliifsSchool last night. Mr H. W. Harrispresided, and there was an attendanceof about 40 persons. Except for sev-eral interruptions from a man at theback of the room, Mr Hills was list-ened to attentively, and at the closeof his address was warmly applauded.

"When I entered the field for thiselection," Mr Hills said, "I waslooked upon as an intruder. ..."

A voice: Too right!Mr Hills: Just hold your tongue,

please!The candidate then went on to fin-

ish his statement."When I entered the field, I was

looked upon as an intruder, but I ven-ture to say that there are not suffici-ent persons contesting this seat. Ishould like to have seen at least fouror live."

In what respect, Mr Hills wasasked, did his policy differ from thatof the Labour party?

"There is a similarity on manypoints," Mr Hills replied, "but theone great difference is that I amadvocating the limitation of incomes to£SOO. The Labour party leads theworkers to believe that It will adoptanything which is in their interests,but it is not prepared to go as faras that."

The questioner: Then what justi-fication, if there is a difference ofonly one little plank, have you forsplitting the votes of the workingpeople?

Mr Hills replied indignantly that hewas not splitting votes.Several voices: Yes, you are.Mr Hills (shouting): No, no, no! Iam doing no such thing. I am standingas an independent. I was first in thefield; I was first to pay my deposit;and I can claim with equal justifica-

tion that the other candidates are split-ting my vote. It is all a matter ofopinion, and it is for the electors todecide who is the most capable andfit man to represent them in Parlia-ment.

Certainly he wasstill receiving small sums in three-pences ana sixpences from theworkers, and if he were not he wouldnot be able to carry on.

Independence Affirmed."'1 have been conducting this cam-paign on my own, until recently push-ing my bicycle all over the electorate,except to the bays," he said.Earlier in his address, Mr Hills saidit would not matter one iota if theLyttelton electorate had -no member

of Parliament at all, because the Gov-ernment had a working majority."For my part," he said, "I do not carewhat vote I poll so long as I poll hon-estly. Yet there are sane, keen politi-cal judges in whose opinion I am go-ing to play a very important part inthis election. And there can be nodoubt about it. In the past, the manwho has won has been the bestpromise-maker, but he has been alsothe best promise-breaker. To-day,Tiowever, the people think more ofsincerity."

Mr Hills added that even down inthe bays lie could not imagine anyonereceiving a better reception than had'been accorded him, ,

FINANCE AND COMMERCEEXPANSION OF

CREDIT

STABILITY OF PRICE LEVEI

CANADIAN BANKING VIEW

The Monthly Letter for July o:the Royal Bank of Canada contains aiarticle on the necessity for furtheiactive expansion of credit in th«United States if the pace of recoveryis to be maintained. The writer ob>serves that there have been many in-stances in the past when the benefitsaccruing from higher prices have letto progressive inflation. The fear oithe repetition of the experiences whichfollow upon excessive inflation ha;been the emotion which has con-trolled the deflationists, particularly inFrance, where more than 75 per cent,of internal debt was wiped out by con-trolled depreciation, and in Germany,where the whole internal debt waswritten off by uncontrolled inflation.

Since the last three years have wit-nessed a major decline in prices, therestoration of the average price levelof 1925-28, the approximate level atwhich a large part of the world's debtwas incurred or refinanced, would

; bring about a more equitable relation-I ship between debtors and creditors,i Even creditors will benefit by moder-j: ate Inflation, since they will then be

K a b* e to collect on the amounts duethem, whereas further deflation would| have injured creditors and debtorsalike.'

. ~lar

,thls station Great Britain and

i ihe.UlLlted states have contended that

• uefforts should be directed towardI tho restoration of prices, profits, and

, activity of internal industry. When!, these results have once been attained,the next major problem will be thaiof securing the stability of the re-stored price level. Relative stabilityof international exchange will followautomatically when internal pricelevels have once been stabilised.

First Task to Restore Prices.Unfortunately, the gold countriesseem to fear the possibility of com-petitive depreciation in order to at-tain lelative advantages in exportmarkets. In vew of the general oppo-sition to depreciation in every country

°an«®r has been over-emphasised.The first task is to restore prices andexchange of goods within the UnitedStates. If other countries clearly un-derstood this point they would realisethat prosperity within the Unitedstates must be beneficial to all partsof the world. The restoration of thepower of the public of theUnited States will lead that country tospend far more abfoad, both for com-modities and in the direction of touristf'Vl has been spending dur-the last two years. The Britishhave also begun to realise that a risein their own internal price level ismorfL imPortance to Greatthan the particular parity ofexchange which may be selected.

,prices continue to rise and inter-continue to improve in theUnited States and Great Britain, anddepression wiH be largely athing of the past.

tPower of Non-Gold Countries.WnriH 1^ck ° f tangible results from theWorld Economic Conference has in-creased the need for a close rapproche-S' bet.ween the United States and

' hlf,?LBn tin' arV? for ®rater harmony£e

,_pollcies of those coun-w£ich have abandoned the goldstandard. If expansion of credit andincreased activity of business can be

K in the non-gold countries itshould be possible to restore a large, world trade without muchc°untnes remaining onthe gold standard. Financial co-oper-ation between these countries is notmerely an idea—soon it may becomean accomplished fact. The WorldEconomic Conference has given the

non-gold countries a sense of their realpower in world affairs.Gold at present is being held in non-gold countries as a collateral againsttheir currencies. It has little effectupon their value. When prices haveonce been raised to a satisfactory leveland confidence in this new price levelis once well established, the non-goldcountries (if they care to do so) willbe in a position to release a sufficientamount of their gold to force a cor-responding rise in the prices in thegold countries. In any case, the Im-petus to rising gold prices from thesupplies of new mined gold and that

\ which is coming from India, is boundto have prompt effect when confidencehas become general. There are only afew countries left where it is pos-sible to send the annual supplies ofnew gold, and this new gold must pro-duce rising prices In those countriesas soon as it begins to have its fullnormal influence upon currency andcredit.

Easy Money Bates Necessary.As yet there has been but little posi-

tive inflationary action in the UnitedStates, and the decline in the valueof the dollar is largely in speculativeanticipation of future action. The dol-lar has been sold short. Since eventhe present balance of trade is fav-ourable to the United Stares a slightreversal in speculative sentiment couldeasily drive the dollar much nearer toparity with gold. Carried far, an up-ward movement of the dollar wouldbe likely to weaken confidence in re-covery. The position of the UnitedStates is such that positive steps to-ward expansion of credit are still ne-cessary if the strength of the upwardtrend is to be maintained. G°vefJ*ment expenditures will provide theadded stimulus at the very time whenthe normal autumn upturn will becarrying business activity to betterlevels. The need ,for credit for thisexpansion, together with the necessityfor credit to finance the governmentprojects, might be expected to tightenmoney at that time. If there is closeco-ordination between plans for finan-cing and the expansion protects them-selvp"?, this increased demand foro*»dit ran be met without advancingrat»«.

MINING

BIG RIVER GOLD MINES

The report for the month cf Auguststates:—

No. 1 Adit Level—Winze on Dug-gan's reef: Sunk and timbered 7ft 6in,total 31ft. The lode increased to anaverage width of 2ft 6in of cleanquartz, but values remained poor. Con-tractors suspended work.

No. 3 Level—No. 1 south drive:Advanced 27ft, total 188ft. Lode trackwell defined and carrying smallbunches of broken quartz and smallleaders. At 180ft in a lense of stonerunning off into the hanging wall wasmet with.

East Crosscut off No. 1 south driveat 180ft in—The make of stone metwith in the hanging wall of the main

, drive was followed in this crosscut' for a distance of 6ft, when it cut out

, on a l'ault. The stone averaged 18in. in width and carried a little gold.

; Rise No. 2 above No. 1 south driveat 135ft from entrance—Opened out

I on a small lense of stone showing at| this point and advanced 19ft. The

stone has gradually increased from1 18in at foot of rise to over 4ft inwidth at l£)in up. and fair gold has

been seen in breaking. A little wateris coming from the stone, which isregarded as a favourable indication.

Winze below No. 1 south drive at70ft from entrance—Work resumed,and an advance of 7ft made. Total30ft. The lode track was considerablydisturbed by faulting. The groundproved hard and the contractors aban-doned work,... Stoping on Henderson's Reef—Some

1 stoping was done north and south off; main rise above No. 1 south drive, xnelode on north side of rise averaged

about Ift in width, but pinched to afew inches at 20ft from rise. On the

, south side the stone has averagedI about 2ft in width, and appears to beI lengthening towards the south. Fairgold has been seen in both stopes.

Stoping on Jones reef above inter-1mediate level—Was considerably re- jtarded owing to some caved ground !being met with. It was necessary to jsecure and fill the cave before work icould be continued, jStone averaging sft in widthjand showing a little gold is now being !

| broken in two faces, and a rise is ij be ins put up on the lode to connoc! 1( '\vith No. 2 level and provide for yen-tilation and obtaining supplies of mul-lock for filling up the stopes.

Main Shaft—Retimbering is beineproceeded with at 50ft below No. 3level. An inspection was made of No4 chamber which will not require a 'great deal of repairing and it is hoped Sto have the shaft ready for work at!this level about the middle of thecoming month.

Battery—Since the clean up onAugust 7 it has been decided that noclean up shall take place until theend of September.Ore supplies were restricted owingto delay in stoping on Jones reefPreviously referred to, but conditionsaie again norma). jOi'ITONUI DEVELOPMENTS, j

LIMITED

The Opitonui Developments, Ltd.,mine report for last week is as fol-lows:

Turner's leader was trenched towithin 20 feet of R.T.S. reef, whereit is intersected by a parallel forma-tion; to further prove Turner's leaderrequires a short cross-cut off the wallof R.T.S. reef. Approximately 20 feetof driving will intersect the formationand Turner's leader.

Hilda Reef—The repairing of No. 2level is being pushed on, and we hopeto be able to explore further this levelduring the coming week. TrenchingHilda Reef, between Hilda west leveland Power's Creek air shaft, is in pro-gress. No. 3 level is full of water nearLannigans' Shaft. To drain <his is afair sized job, so it is proposed to ex-plore this level by laddering an airshaft which insects it above waterlevel. This will be determined whenNo. 2 level is cleared to a point underPower's Creek.

Sampling and assaying the tailingsdump is in progress. This work isslow owing to the work only beingpossible after three dry days; cavita-tion of the bores has to be guarded 'against.

New Reef—This discovery was madeby O. Evans whilst obtaining water ;for his camp. The reef is exposed ,practically on the bed of the streamand no doubt was uncovered by thedriving of logs, which deepened andcut the banks to a steep angle. It isproposed to trench and pick this reefup opposite Carvill Shaft in the higher •country and in line with the same Jchannel of ground. The importanceof this discovery cannot be stressedtoo much, as the reef is certainlyauriferous. The assay showed 2.sdwt 1of gold to the ton, and this is higher ithan Carvills or Maiden at the sur-face. It has a splendici appearance. 'The country encasing it is ideal, andthis reef will certainly be found to 1contain high grade ore.

Work generally at the mine is pro-gressing very satisfactorily. Thewhole gang is working well and withenthusiasm.

GGLCONDA MINES, LIMITED

The mine manager reports that dur-ing the week the following work hasbeen carried out:—

Work was continued in the drive onthe main reef east. The reef is wider 'than the drive, and the hanging-wall isinterlaced with ribs of quartz andstringers.

The reef is fairly well mineralisedand blende is seen in the hanging-wall portion. The country is much 'milder, and of a good description. Wehave got the south stopes on thebranch reef in working order, and !colours of gold mixed with zincblende have been seen in the ore <broken out. We are endeavouringto connect these stopes with the north-ern stope, on the same reef, to get an !air connexion and good progress isbeing made. Colours of gold withblende are also seen at this point. Nocrushing has been done. We haveput in new shoes and dies in No. 2box in the mill.

RICH ORE

Extraordinarily rich ore is beingcrushed by various mining concornsin Victoria. At Bolwarrah, near Bal-larat, 30 tons of stone, not pickedbut taken as it came from the face,yielded 140oz 9dwt, valued, in Austra- ,lian currency, at £IOOO. j

Dividends of £90,000, or 30s a ,share, have been paid to sharehold- jers of the Hercules Gold-mining iCompany (Bendigo) since the richreef was discovered in June. 1932. Inaddition to another dividend of 2s a ,share payable last Friday, the com- "pany held £6900 in cash, from which .a dividend of 2s a share would bedeclared a fortnight hence. The capi-tal is £7500, and the mine was re-opened as a result of the bonus givenby the Government on gold produc-tion.

WELLINGTON, September 7.1 Reviewing timber imports and ex-

ports for the seven months endedJuly 31, the Commissioner of State

Exports were 15,000,000 board feet- for both the 1933 and 1932 periods,t compared with approximately

i 20,000,000 board feet in 1928 to 1930.t The favourable trade balances for thet 1933 and 1932 periods are respectivelyi 11,000,000 and 11,500,000 feet, com-

pared with an adverse balance of! 13,000,000 board feet for the corres-: ponding periods in 1928 to 1930.; Butter boxes are the second largest; import item, in 1933 the figures show-

-1 ing an increase of 200,000 board feet• over 1932, but the annual importation

s of boxes is still only about 10 per' cent, of the total butter boxes used.! Timber imported previously for

| fruit cases and cheese crates was re-| placed almost entirely last export

season by insignis pine, silver beech,; and kahikatea grown in New Zealand,i but exchange movements between

TURF GOSSIP

Riccarton Track Notes;A heavy fog enveloped the Riccar-

ton tracks during the early part oftraining operations yesterday, and al-though several horses were gallopedin it, it was not possible to time them.The No. 7 grass was in use, and itprovided good going. All the tracksare at present in excellent order, buta lot more rain is required to ensurea continuance of soft ground. Theplough track, which serves a very use-ful purpose when the grass tracks arehard, is now being scarified and har-rowed, and will be ready when re-quired.For a Good Cause/

A subscription list has been inculation in Riccarton during the lastfew weeks with the object of raisinga sufficient sum to erect a suitableheadstone on the graveof J.McCombeat the Upper Riccarton cemetery. Theappeal has met with a very satisfac-tory response, and included in the listof contributors are several owners,trainers, and riders who visited Ric-carton during the Grand Nationalweek.

Ah Unlucky Filly.Berate is again being subjected to

fast work and appears to be comingto hand satisfactorily. The heavy,at-mosphere yesterday disclosed the fact

x that some of the horses in commis-sion at Riccarton are inclined to makea suspicious breathing noise, and Be-rate is one of them..Good Season in View.

Ringing Cheer is giving every en-couragement in his track essays, andyesterday was seen to advantage in auseful gallop with Polydora, who in-cidentally carries very solid conditionand is ready to race again at any time.There is every intention of enteringher upon a serious preparation for theNew Zealand Cup, the distance of■which should not be beyond her.Bfed for Speed.

"Eupator, by Pombal from Eulalie,lias returned to active work in a condi-tion that would suggest he was welllooked after during his holiday. Yes-terday he was galloped six furlongs■with Southdown and shaped as if he■will be,a useful stake-earner thisseason.It is intended to race him at Ashbur-ton' and at Geraldine, and provided heshows the form he will be takento Trentham, where he raced well lastseason, dead-heating with Bonnie"Vale in the Trial Plate at the autumnmeeting in March.A: Cup Aspirant.

Rebel Song strode out well in a gal-lop over seven furlongs with CricketBat at Riccarton yesterday, and thepair finished on terms incomparativelygood time. There seems tobe nothingamiss with Rebel Song, and shouldfie carry on in his present conditionhe will be an interesting candidate forHew Zealand Cup honours.Birl Resumes.

R. Adamson has recommissionedJtiri, who had a beneficial spell dur-ing the period of soft tracks. He isbelieved to be quite sound again andhis owner has hopes of winning someraces, this season in better companythan he has met on the West Coast.Riri's stable-mate, Yerden, is veryforward, and accounted for Tout leMonde in afive furlong task yesterday.The latter is still rather big, but willcome right with a little racing.

Improving. ,

Fiat Lux, who has been somewhatdisappointing in his few races to date,showed a marked improvement inbeating St. Joan comfortably in a gal-lop over seven furlongs yesterday. Heappears to be one of the lazy bri-gade and requires strong horseman-ship to get the best out of him. FiatLux, who is by Jericho, can claim tobe the most aristocratic-looking horseSn commission at headquarters, andtrack-watchers will be surprised if hedoes not make good as a galloper.

A Useful Team.J. H. Prosser has Great Star and

Grand Review in solid work again,and both are forward enough to tackleearly spring racing. Both are expectedto reappear at the Geraldine meeting,and they will be accompanied by thefour-year-old gelding Double Shot, byAgrion. from Half-a-brace, and Motu-nau, a three-year-old filly by Limondfrom Eulalie. The former was nomi-nated for the Ohapi Hack Handicap onthe first day, but does not appear in thelist The name Purple Shot in therace is probably meant for him.Best English Youngster.

The Richmond Stakes, run at Good-wood in July, witnessed a contest be-tween England's leading two-year-oldcolts. Colombo, by Manna from LadyNairne, soon took the lead and beatMedieval Knight, by Gay Crusaderfrom Hasty Love, comfortably. Col-ombo has had six races, and he is un-beaten.

Paper Money Juvenile.Among the two-year-olds that are

entered to commence their racingcareers at Wanganui this month isPin Money, who is a brother to GoldTinge, who won the A.J.C. Breeders'Plate at Randwick. Another whoclaims full relationship to a good win-ner is Mother Superior, who is a sis-ter to Eaglet (Chief Ruler—Dovelet).Mother Superior will carry the samecolours as View Halloo and HighFalutin*. while Pin Money is owned byMrs M. Gustofsen.Clouds are Lifting.

To-day, not only was the club's fin-ancial position greatly improved, butthe economic outlook, as comparedwith the previous year, was encour-aging and bright, stated Mr E. W. Alli-son (president) at the annual meetingof the Takapuna Jockey Club lastweek. Last year, he added, there wasserious anxiety, as the accounts showeda loss for the year of £1507. This year,after clearing off some pressing lia- jbilities, and writing off £1893 for do- jpreciation on buildings and plant, a jsurplus of £139 was shown although ithe totalisartor turnover. £79,303, re-presented a decrease of £12,495, or 13\

per cent. There were undoubtedlysigns that the clouds were lifting.That, at any rate, was the unanimousopinion of the committee, which heldan optimistic view as to the probablefinancial results from this season's rac-ing.Riverton Presidency.

The annual meeting of the RivertonRacing Club aroused unusual interestin Southland last week, and there wasan attendance of 95 members.The gate charges for the Easter meet-ing and the profits made on the meet-ing were the matters for main discus-sion. There was an election for presi-dent, resulting in the return of Mr D.M. Tweedie, who secured 70 votes,while Dr. C. H. Gordon, the retiringpresident, who had held office for 13 ;years, received only 25,

Sportsman's Death.A well-known and popular Auck- !

land sportsman, Mr J. D. Jones, diedat his home in Remuera on Sunday. MrJones was • for years a well-knownfigure on Auckland race tracks, andhad been On the committee of theAuckland Racing Club. He raced manyhorses, and-was at all times preparedto tell his friends what he thought oftheir' prospects. Among the winnersto carry his colours were such goodperformers as Tactful, Exactly, Dave,and Limex, the last-named mare be-ing his latest winner. At the time ot'his death he owned several younghorses, one of which, Kelly, by Kil- ibroney—Joy Queen, ran third in thejuvenile parade at Pakuranga. MrJones will be greatly missed by a widecircle of friends, particularly in thenorth,, where he and his favourite horseDave gained many popular victories.Mounting Up.

The petition asking Parliament toamend the Gaming Act so that moneycan be telegraphed direct to the course,the introduction of the double totalisa-tor and publication of dividends, thathas been in circulation at race meet-ings during the last few months hasnow more than 40.000 signatures, statedMr James McLeod, at the annual meet-ing of the Oamaru Jockey Club.At Randwictt.

Tattersall's races at Randwick to-morrow will attract a lot of interest,as this is one of the most importantfixures just prior to the AustralianJockey Club's carnival. The principalrace is the Chelmsford Stakes, ninefurlongs, at weight-for-age. It was inthis race that Gloaming commencedhis great career. As so much NewZealand interest attaches to Sydneyracing at the present time, readersmay like to see the field engaged inthe Stakes, which is as follows:—LoughNeagh, Shakuni, Kuvera, Blixten, Au-topay, Chatham, Antique, Buonarroti,Topical, Gothlin, Bay Tree, Burlesque, iWexford, Pretzel, Braeburn, Windbird,Limarch, Miramond, Royal Bird.

Several of the Chelms-ford entrants are also in the Tram-way, and the field includes Autopay,Blixten, Waikare, Shakuni, Chatham,Bronze Hawk, Dole, Persian, Korokio,Golden Hair, and Movie Star. Amongthose nominated for the Spring Han-dicap were Antique, Fairway, MasterBrierley, Kodapen, Movie Star, andPeter Jackson.

RACING CAREER ENDED

FOXHUNTER RETIRED

Lr&om our own coHRasrcwDENT.)

LONDON, August 2.The Ascot Gold Cup winner, Fox-

hunter, has run his last race. It willbe recalled that he fell lame duringthe race for the Goodwood Cup wonby his three-year-old stable com-panion, Sans Peine. It is now statedthat Mr Edward Esmond's 1 finestayer has been found to have sprunga back tendon of the damaged fore-leg.

It might have been possible to sub-ject the horse to long rest and drasticfiring treatment in the hope of gettingthe tissues and tendon callous. Sucha course is commonly followed withless valuable horses. Foxhunter is anindividual of much importance, andMr Esmond has made a decision toretire him at once and send him indue course to take up stud duties inFrance next year.

I do not think it can be questionedthat lameness alone prevented Fox-hunter from winning the Cup atGoodwood last week. The three-year-old, Sans Peine, would have had nochance with him on the strength ofthe form shown some days before ina testing gallop. It is no exaggarationto say that Foxhunter simplyswamped Sans Peine, and Joe Childs,who rode him in that gallop, believedhe could not possibly be beaten atGoodwood.

Foxhunter is a strapping chestnuthorse by Sir Abe Bailey's Ascot GoldCup winner, Foxlaw, from the mareTrimestral, dam also of the dual GoldCup winner, Trimdon. On breeding,conformation, and performances, Fox-hunter must make a very big appeal,and French breeders are indeed for-tunate that the horse is to be locatedin their country. I hope it may notbe for the rest of his life.

Two Great Stayers.Like many great stayers that only

matured comparatively late, Fox-hunter did not win a race as a two-year-old, though he ran six times. Heran nine times as a three-year-old,winning two races. One was theTudor Stakes at Sandown Park. Theother was the Doncaster Cup, whichwas the first real indication that hewas going to have a bright four-year-old career as a stayer.

1 am satisfied that he and Trimdonwero two of the stoutest-heartedhorses we have had on our racecoursesfor some years. I purposely excludeBrown Jack, because there can be nostud career for him. Trimdon, who isalso going to the stud, is a son ofSon-in-Law. Foxhunter j.-; a grandsonof that great sire of stayers.

Wellington Candidates.The majority of horses engaged at

the Wellington meeting left for thenorth by last night's ferry steamer.New Arrivals.

J. S. Shaw has another addition tohis string in Happy Land, who hasnot "aced the starter for a considerableti. e. The eight-year-old gelding iswell forward in condition, as heshowed by sprinting the last two fur-longs of a mile bout in 31 4-ssec atAddin«ton yesterday. Another newarrival. Young Travis, created a veryfavourable impression by the way hecompleted the task allotted him. Thisline-looking coJt was recently pur-chased by Mr R. Dunlop, of Waltham,and he is a member of J. J. Kenner-ley's team. He will take very littletuning up before being ready to race.

Now ai Methven.The American-bred stallion Grat-

tan Loyal was this week sent to Meth-ven, where he will be located duringthe approaching stud season. He willmake a weekly visit to Ashburton, buthis headquarters will be Mr C.Ireland's property at Methven.

Addliigton Track Notes.All worK at Addington is still being

carried out on the outside of the maintrack, but it is likely that within thecourse of a week the inside will beavailable for use again. There waslittle work of interest yesterdaymorning, as the local horses set downto race at Wellington on Saturdaywere out. at New. Brighton last Satur-day. and their tasks during the weekhave been only of the useful nature.Reaching Form.

Morello, who is due to make hisfirst appearance as a three-year-oldat the New Brighton meeting nextmonth, pleased by his effort over amile and a half in company with Titri.Driven by J. J. Kennerley, who is todrive him in his spring engagements,he covered the first mile of a mileand a half journey in 2min 35sec, withTitri leading him. Over the finalhalf mile he paced in splendid styleto finish in front, the latter portionof the journey taking Imin 7 3-ssec.

Clem Dawe, who continues to im-prove, shaped well over a mile anda half in company with Royal Drusus,who is coming to hand quickly. Thetime for the distance was 3min 36sec.

Useful Tasks.There was little between Paul

Drusus and Vesta Rey at the end of amile and a quarter done in 2min 563-ssec, tb" first mile having taken 2min22sec. The first-named bored badlyover the early stages, but straightenedup after he had gone a mile.

Although he marred his display bytwo breaks, Scottish King gave animproved showing while trotting twomiles in company with Apex.

Wise Guy, who is to race at theGeraldine meeting, covered a mile in2min 24 2-ssee, taking Imin 15sec forthe last half.

George Rey and Tangatu covered amile and a quarter in 3min 2sec, thefirst mile in 2min 27 4-ssec, and Gar-ner trotted the last half of a milejourney in lmin 11 2-ssec.Promising Novice.

Young Travis impressed by the man-ner in which he travelled over a mileand a half, assisted in the earlystages by Full Hand and the NelsonDerby three-year-old in C. Tasker'sstable. He covered his first mile in2min 25sec. and a mile and a quarterin 3min 2 2-ssec.

Muriel cle Oro was given serviceablework over a mile and a quarter.Improving Novice Trotter.

Norman Fox gave a good exhibitionof trotting in company with Nelson'sBoy and Desert Maiden. Nelson's Boy,who had a very light weight in thesaddle, was best at the finish of twomiles, but Norman Fox in recording4min 57 2-ssec was responsible for avery sound display.

Argolis, who recently arrived atAddington, was let off with useful ex-ercise. He is nominated for the Gcr-aldine meeting.

Agile was not seriously tried incovering a mile in 2min 26sec. He isin excellent fettle for the Wellingtonmeeting.

New Brighton Trotting: Club.The programme for the New Brigh-

ton Trotting Club's • October meetinghas been issued. The principal raceis the Waimairi Handicap, of 200 sovs,for horses that can do 4min 40sec orbetter, and the principal sprint raceis the Avon Handicap, of one mileand a quarter, a 2mm 45sec class, ofthe value of 150 sovs. Unhoppledtrotters are. catered for by the NewBrighton Handicap, of two miles. 4m in55sec class, and the Innovation Handi-cap, of a mile and a half, 3min 50secclass. Other events on the pro-gramme are a 3min 40sec class mileand a half, a 3min mile and a quarter,a 2min 50sec mile and a quarter, anda 2min 17sec mile saddle.Disappointing: Pacer.

In spite of disappointments a,ndfailures during last season, BingenChief counted numerous friends whenhe last visited Epsom, but once againhe let his supporters down. He is agreat track horse, but he either cannotor will not reproduce his best on raceday. It is something in his favourthat he can handle the left-handedtrack at Claudelands much better thanhe does the Epsom track, and he mayhave his long-delayed turn next month.Likely Classic Candidate.

Of the Great Northern Derby horsesseen in action at Auckland last month,the honours were entirely with J. T.Paul's Travis Axworthy—Bertha Bellcolt Ringtrue, and in registering 2min57 l-ssec, a 2min 22sec gait, fyom a3min 6sec mark on a track that wasnot conducive to fast times, he de-monstrated that he is a worthy mem-ber of a great family. Liko GreatParrish, the Derby colt has the "goldencross" breeding, Axworthy-Peter theGreat strains, and his progress be-tween now and Derby Day will bewatched with keen interest. Of thelocal representatives, he now lookstha likely one to trouble Chancellor.

WELLINGTON R.C.

that if an Australian team visits NewZealand, an intercolonial tourney beheld at Invercargill. Several delegatesobjected to the settling of such a ques-tion so far ahead, and the motion waswithdrawn.

PROFESSIONAL BOUT

HAWES V. FRANKLIN 1The Christchurch Sports Club, for

its seventh tournament this season, tobe held in the Caledonian Hall onTuesday evening, has arranged a par-ticularly attractive programme. Thechief bout will be that between PercyHawes, the locai professional feather-weight. and Joe Franklin, of Gisborne,over 12 rounds, whilst the prelimin-aries will consist of contests betweenmembers of the crew of H.M.A.S.Canberra and local amateurs.

Hawes is undoubtedly the bestfeather-weight that Christchurch hashad for years. A very successful ama-teur career ended in his winning theNew Zealand title at his weight. I-Iecombines hard punching with cleverboxing, and opposed to Franklin, whois similar in style, a great bout should jresult. This will be their second •meeting in the professional ring, their >first contest in New Plymouth being jconsidered' one of the best seenthere for many years. . The Can-berra is reported to have some first-class exponents, who fight with plentyof vim in the true navy style. Againsta local team they should provide anight of action and thrills. Doorswill open at 7 p.m., and the first boutwill commence at 8 o'clock. Alltickets and reserves are now obtain-able at Lange's, United Service build-ings.

MYSTERY TRAMPv

RAILWAY EXCURSION ONSUNDAY

The mystery tramping excursion ar-ranged by the Railway Department for jSunday next is the fifth of the series;for this season. The mystery excursiontrain will leave Christchurch at 8.15a.m., and is expected to reach Christ-church in the evening about 7 o'clock-The location of the tramp will tie .inthe mountainous midland ' districtwhich lies between Springfield andArthurs Pass, and, as is usual ih thecase of mystery hikes, there _has beena great deal of interested speculationas to its exact location. Th?re arehalf a dozen splendid walks ,availablein the locality chosen. "

The trip in view for'Sunday is wellup to the standard of previous hikes, Iand if the weather is fine trampersare assured of a yery fine outing. Therailway officers who have the arrange-ments in hand are enthusiastic, andare looking forward to renewing ac-quaintance with the magnificent viewsof mountain, river, and gorge.. ' J

The train will stop at a wild, and)impressive-point on the Midland rail-)way. Trampers will leave the rail- '

way line on the right-hand side, and jwill at once be in the heart of "things.The permanent way at the taking-offplace is somewhat restricted, , butafter descending a steep bank andwalking in single file for a short dis-tance, trampers will have plenty' Ofroom. It is the intention of the Rail-way Department's officers to halt wljen4the congested area is cleared so . thattrampers will be together at the startof .the walk. Although the country-iswild and rugged, a comparatively easyroute has been found for the ;tramp",and 1: apart from a short climb is .notarduous. The distance is approxi-mately 10miles. Tramperswill be welladvised, however, to equip themselveswith boots or stout shoes with fiatheels if the walk is to be enjovfedto the full. -

A very beautiful spot,, midway onthe tramp, has been chosen fot lunch,and tramperswill be able to spend twohours or more in this spot, wheremany interesting side-trips and otherfeatures will make the time all tooshort. The Hiking Troubadours willagain be on the tramp, and there willalso be community singing at lunchtime. The popularity of communitysinging at the present time will maketheir presence doubly welcome, andsinging in such a setting should be well iworth hearing. A bush-clad hillsidepath will be traversed jn the after-noon, and afternoon tea will be avail-able before trampers entrain for home.Very thorough preparations havebeen made to ensure a successful out-ing, and it is expected that the excur-th«

be fllle<? t0 capacity.The Arthurs Pass excursions have nowterminated, and hikers wilL not havemany more opportunities of enloyinemystery hikes this season. Some in-teresting; scenes of the country to betraversed are on view at the centralbooking office. central

,

The Buller Rugby representativeteam, after an all-day journey, ar-rived in Christchurch last night toprepare for its Ranfurly Shield chal-lenge match against Canterbury to-morrow. All are fit and well, andalthough there have been two altera-tions since the first selection, the team

: should be one of the strongest that haverepresented Buller in recent seasons.The following are the players who

* arrived yesterday:—Backs: W. Greer,J T. Connelly, C. Jones, J. Hill EHolder, N. Lamont, J. Simpson, A.

" Graham, and A. Reid. Forwards: J.Stewart, G. Orman, R. Gardiner, C.Robertson, R. Gilsennan, J. Shaw, W.McNeight, E. Moreton, C. Jack, andJ. Caldwell.

, , The team for to-morrow will bepicked this evening.

The manager of the Buller team isthe secretary of the Buller RugbyUnion, Mr W. Craddock. Mr F.Keating, president of the union, andMessrs V. Goodall and S. Davis, mem-bers of the union, are also jn the offi-

\ cial party. In addition approximately20 other supporters also arrived. Theteam is staying at the Dominion Hotel,■where it. was welcomed on arrival lastnight by officials of the Canterbury

i , Rugby Unk*n.This morning the visitors will prac-

tise at Lancaster Park. Last night,the Buller team and officials were theguests of the Canterbury Rugby Unionat a picture theatre. This evening at5.15 o'clock, a "sportsmen's welcome"to the Buller team will be given inthe Pioneer Sports Club's rooms,

i : In an interview with a representa-tive of "The Press" the manager of theBuller team said that the team did notmake an invasion confidently, but ithoped to gain much match experience

• * and make the struggle a close one. Ofcourse there was very little "paperform" on which to base calculations,but he felt sure that Buller could doas well as West Coast, if not- a littlebetter. When West Coast beat Bullerin the Seddon Shield game early inthe season by 7 to 3 the match wasextremely even.

Crawford met unexpected resistance1 from Tidball, the American inter-col-

legiate champion. After breezingthrough the first set with an almosterrorless score, Crawford lost thelong-drawn-out second set through re-peated net errors from his opponent'shard driving game. The only gamesCrawford lost in the first set were thefifth and sixth. Tidball seemed alittle awed by his opponent.

Crawford in the second set was firstcareless, then -unable to control hisreturns of Tjdball's fast deliveries.Tidball won the first game of the sec-ond set, then the fourth, fifth, andsixth on Crawford's net errors andhis own fast placements. Crawfordwon the seventh and eighth, and thegames then see-sa\ved until they tiedon the twelfth. Tidball took his ownservice in the thirteenth. Then, aftertwo out errors and a double fault byCrawford Tidball broke his opponent'sservice and won the game and setwith a fast placement.

The third set was a repetition ofthe first, Crawford losing but twogames with the minimum of errorsthroughout. In the fourth set. aftermany spectators had left the stands,thinking the match was virtually over,Tidball made a sensational rally, win-ning the first, second, third, fifth, andseventh games, to take a five-two lead,Crawford's play being .spotty. A fifthset seemed inevitable until the startof the eighth game, in which Craw-ford won his own service, and thenclicked off five straight games withbrilliant tennis. Tidball was com-pletely unable to handle Crawford'sreturns.

Shields v. Turnbull.In the Shields-Turnbull game eacli ,

hammered the other with cannonball iservices, and neither was able to re-turn the other's until the fourth game,when, although Turnbull made a ser-vice ace, he netted and outed Shields's jdefensive returns to lose his service.This gave the American a 3-2 lead, jwhich the Australian did not long !allow. He solyed Shields's delivery !and accounted for it with long drives,and evened the score at 4-4: butShields was now unbeatable, and wonthe next two games to love.Turnbull went into a 3-1 lead in thesecond set, by accounting for Shields'sservice in the fourth game with somefine angled shots. He was within apoint of breaking the American's ser-vice in the sixth game, but the lat-ter fought a hard deuce game at thenet to win. The Australian, however,was unable to maintain the pace, andnetted his way through the next twogames, which evened the score at 4-4,The men then fought for the advan-tage until the thirteenth game, whenShields broke Turnbull's service withmagnificent placements, and went intoa lead that spelled set in the nextgame, on his own service.

In the third set, Shields havingstaved oil the threat in the secondset, now proceeded to establish hisvictory as quickly as possible. Heliterally drove Turnbull off the courtwith the force of his stroking. TheAmerican secured a 3-1 lead, whichhe later improved to 4-2 ana 5-3, andthen ran out set on Turnbull's service.Quist v. McAuliffe.

McAuliffe, playing against Quist,proved threatening only in the thirdset, when he quickly went to a 2-1lead on a break in Quist's service.The American improved this gradu-ally to 5-4. He was set point severaltimes, only to have Quist pull thegame out at 8-6 in points xo even thescore at 5-5. Games then alternatedwith service until McAuliffe droppedhis in the thirteenth, which advan-tage the Australian improved by win-ning the fourteenth on his own ser-vice, although McAuliffe succeeded indeucin»' it oncc.

McGrath v. Davenport.McGrath's opponent, Davenport, theyoung son of the president of theWest Side Tennis Club, was in-capacitated by a sprained arm, whichsoftened his service and made his re-turns defective. Whatever competitionne offered occurred in the second setwhen, breaking through the Austra-hans service in the flrst hedropped the next four, taking only fourpoints, yet he came back to even thescore by winning the following threegames with tricky chop shots thatfailed to rise. However, he lapsedbadly in the final two games, losingthe runth to love and netting almostevery shot in the tenth.

DEFENDING AUSTRALIA'(§>■

ARCHBISHOP'S VIEWS ONPROBLEM

SYDNEY, September 7.Dr. James Duhig (Roman Catho-

lic Archbishop of Brisbane) de-claied in an interview that the pre-sent population of Australia wasable neither to sustain the grow-ing burden of taxation nor to de-fend the country, the vulnerabilityof which was causing grave con-cern in the Commonwealth. Japancertainly had shown nothing butfriendliness, but 110 man was justi-fied in leaving his house unpro-tected because he had friendly |neighbours.

The paucity of Australia's popu-lation was a matter of weaknessaggravated by an unwise immigra-tion policy, which gave no encour-agement to the people of GreatBritain and Europe to settle in thecountry.

RUSH OF BUILDINGAPPLICATIONS

END OF SUBSIDY SCHEME

LARGE NUMBER IN THE CITY

Applications for the Unemploy-ment Board's building subsidypoured into the Labour Departmentoffice in Christchurch all day yes-terday following the announcementthat the scheme would be closednext Tuesday. Requests were madefor 150 application forms, but theoffice was unable to supply all thatwere sought.

The total number of applicationsmade yesterday was 44, whichbrought the number for Christ-church since the revised scheme be-came operative on June 1, up to564. Of these 442 have been grantedand 31 declined. The total cost ofthe work involved in these applica-tions is £351,150, the wages costbeing £122,803. Applications madeyesterday involved a sum of£29,538.

The subsidy is on a basis of 50per cent, of the wages cost fordwellings up to £650 in value ana33 1-3 per cent, on other jobs. Thebiggest job for which a subsidy hasbeen granted in Christchurch is thenew Catholic Orphanage, which isto be erected near the Mount IViug-dala Home at a cost of £45,000.One dwelling for which the subsidyhas been granted will cost £6OOOand several other houses are beingbuilt at a cost of £2OOO.

The effect the subsidy has hadupon building is reflected in theCity Council's building permitfigures. In August, 1933, a total of72 permits was issued for workworth £29,074, as compared with38 permits for work worth £12,166in August, 1932. In July 56 per-mits involving £16,651 were issued,as against 42 permits involving£8750 for the corresponding monthof last year.

DISSATISFACTION WITHPOLICY

UNION SECRETARY'S CRITICISM

(IfIiESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)

AUCKLAND, September 7.Dissatisfaction with the on-and-off

policy relating to the building sub-sidy was expressed by Mr T. Blood-worth, secretary of the Carpenters'and Joiners' Union, who said that be-tween the first and second subsidyschemes little new work was startedbecause many persons expected thatthe Government would again pro-vide a bonus. In this they wereright, but it was never contemplatedthat the scheme would last such ashort time.

Mr Bloodworth said he knew ofseveral building projects whichwould be dropped, and personswould mark time again on the as-sumption that the scheme would beon again at a later date. The pres-ent scheme in reality subsidised the

| wages of small employers who, beingskilled tradesmen, did the jobs|themselves. The board in effect hadadmitted to the benefits of itsscheme a large number of men whowere not previously a charge on theunemployment funds.

If the Government abolished thesales tax on building supplies, andbrought the exchange rate back topar, the building industry would behelped more than by the Unemploy-ment Board's subsidy scheme, saidMr Bloodworth.

AT WELLINGTON

50 APPLICATIONS YESTERDAY

(PF.USS ASSOCIATION TELECJEAM.)

WELLINGTON, September 7.Following the Ministerial an-

nouncement that the provision ofsubsidies for building was to ceaseon September 12, an unprecedentedrush of applications? for subsidieswas experienced at the LabourBureau to-day. The number of ap-plications has been averaging abouthalf a dozen a day; but to-day 50applications of a total estimated costof £33,339 17s were received.

DOMINION FRUIT+—

POSSIBILITY OF NEWMARKETS

BELGIUM AND THE UNITEDSTATES

ITHE FRBSB Cpecitl Serrlce.)

WELLINGTON, September 7.There is a possibility of new mar-

kets being arranged for New Zealandfruit, as a result of negotiations atpresent being carried out, accordingto statements made by the chairmanot the New Zealand Fruit ControlBoard, Mr H. E. Stephens, in a sur-vey of the Dominion's fruit export in-dustry, at the conference of the NewZealand Fruit Growers' Federation inWellington to-day.

With restrictions being applied byso many countries, it was necessaryfor the industry in New Zealand tocast about carefully for new fields,said Mr Stephens, and there were oneor two definite avenues that the boardwas exploring. In the Far East it wasfound that at present there was noopening for produce. The main con-siderations in this connexion were theproblem of direct shipping, and th«fact that only a small quantity of pro-duce was wanted, and that the marketswere already well catered for by Aus-tralia and the United States.

Apples and Pears.Another potential market was Bel-

gium. Up to now, that country hadapplied a prohibitive tariff on wrappedapples; but while abroad the Hon. R.Masters, Minister for Industries andCommerce, had been trying to arrangea revision of the treaty with Belgium,and much was hoped from his efforts.There were also prospects of openingup trade with the United States. Themarket there for apples was beingflooded at the present time: but it wasnot altogether impossible that an out-let might be found there for New Zea-land large Delicious. It was probable,however, that there would be a definiteopening for pears, especially in thenorth of the United States, where thedemand for them was fairly strong.

It appeared, said Mr Stephens, thatthe British Government was still press-ing for quotas on certain importations,and fruit was included among the ar-ticles. The board's representative hadbeen recently in touch with the BritishGovernment, and it was hoped thatthe quotas would not be harmful forNew Zealand's trade, and that therewas even a possibility that they wouldbe helpful.

Australian Fruit Embargo.Regret was expressed by the confer-'ence that the negotiations connected

with the Australian fruit embargo!did not result in the opening up ofthe Australian market for New Zea-land produce and fruit. It was de-cided that in the event of the em-bargo with Australia being lifted, thefederation be instructed to press fora high protective tariff on Australianfresh and canned fruits.

On the suggestion of the Hawke'sBay Association, it was decided to wait!on the General Manager of Railwayswith requests for reductions in rail-way freights. It was announced thatthe Fruit Control Board would asso-ciate itself officially with the deputa-ition. i

GOLF

r NOTES OF THE DAY

' [By E. M.MACFAELANE.]

'A paragraph from the decisions bythe Rules of Golf Committee reads:|Two players play in a bogey competi-tion and score for each, other; anotherplayex* plays round with them butdoes not intend putting a score in.Can this be allowed?

Answer: Nq, Playing three balls ina bogey competition disqualifies the(competitors because they have notconformed to the condition stated instroke rule 1 (2), that the competitorsshall play in couples.

In private matches bisques are some-times used instead of the usual han-dicap strokes. A bisque is, as every-one knows, a handicap stroke whichmay be used by the receiver at any

hole after the hole has been playedout.

,

. . t

From a published decision respect-ing the best method of handicappingby bisques, a query submitted toSt. Andrews by the Shanghai GolfClub, a few years ago, it would seemthat the rules committee objects tothis method, as the answer states:"The hole may either be won orhalved, and it is therefore necessaryduring the play of the hole to knowexactly in what relation the playerstands to his opponent. A mode ofhandicapping which deprives the op-ponents of this mutual knowledgeseems to be foreign to the properconduct of the game."

"This is St. Andrews in its mostirritating mood, the mood of the vil-lage that voted the earth was flat,"writes 0.T.5., discussing this bisquetopic in a recent article in Golf-ing*

•»,"I am so far from agreeing withthe rules committee's dictum aboutbisques that I wc&ild go the lengthof describing bisques as the fairestof all possible methods of handicap-ping for match play. The acceptedmethod of handicapping by strokes tobe taken at certain holes designatedbeforehand has the merit of conveni-ence, but at times it works very un-fairly. In one match every stroke wereceive seems to win or halve a hole.In another our strokes appear bysome strange fate to come only at theholes where we have played a Robin-eon Crusoe shot and found a foot-print in the sand, and accordingly arecompletely out of the hunt, or come inBtill more gallingly at the holes whichwe have played superbly, and ouradversary has never been within sightof a half on level terms. It is notvery amusing to be receiving seven oieight strokes and find at the end oithe match that not: a single one oithem has been any good to you. Alittle more practical experience olbisques would have enabled them tcdiscern that the method of handicap-ping by bisques was a modificatiorof the idea of handicapping by hole:up, which was known as the CalcutUsystem, and was at one time in regu-lar use in the match play tournaments of the Royal and Ancient Clulitself. The disadvantage of handicapping by holes is that it work:smoothly only so long as the player:are of something approaching thesame class. For all practical purposes a handicap of four bisques iequivalent to a handicap of four holeup. If the odds between two players ar<small, it is a practical certainty thathe receiver of the odds will in thcourse of the round have a sufficienopportunity to cash in on his bisqueby using them separately to halvholes which he would otherwise havlost or to win holes which he woulonly have halved. The only differencbetween the holes handicap and thbjsgue handicap is that the latter, irstead of being received in a lumsum at the beginning of the rounimaterialises gradually as the gairproceeds. The advantage of the bisqtmethod appears more plainly when thdifference beiween the class of thplayers is extreme. Gene Sarazen hinself, if he conceded a start of 18 hol<up to the veriest rabbit, could mpossibly do better than halve tlround and might easily lose. But 1would have no difficulty in concedir18 bisques. The beauty of handicap-ping by bisques is that as their num-ber increases it ceases to be possiblelor the receiver of them to use each

t individual bisque to make the differ-ence of a hole in the state of thematch. The duffer opposed to GeneSarazen finds that at too many holeshe loses the hole by two or perhapsthree strokes, and has either to be con-tent to lose it or has to use up morethan one of his precious bisques inorder to keep on terms.

H. B. Lusk, formerly of Christ-church, was in great form at Eotorualast week, where, after heading theQualifying rounds with a total of 147<OB and 79), he secured the Rotoruaamateur championship by defeating F.C. Fryer in the final.

The scratch score at Rotorua is 60,and although a short course, the tour-ney attracted record entries, no fewerthan 102. Competitors, starting at 7.30am., were dispatched in threes, inorder to facilitate play in the quali-fying stages. H. Brinsden, J. Goss,G. Tallis, I. McEwan, M. Moore, and O.H. Williams were some well fanciedplayers in this event who were elimi-nated in the earlier rounds of matchPlay.

From some excellent reports pub-lished in English papers concerningthe new laminated shafts recentlysanctioned by St. Andrews, it wouldseem that the steel7 shafted golf clubis to have a seriousrival. Several ad-Vantages are claimed for laminatedshafts over both steel and hickory. Thenew shaft comprises about eightpieces of cane glued together. It ispractically unbreakable, is muchstronger than hickory, and does notwarp. Abe Mitchell, whose experi-ments with steel clubs have not beensatisfactory, is reported to be muchimpressed with laminated shaftedclubs, which, he says, enable him tohit further and straighter.

The club championship series atHarewood were advanced a furtherstep over the week-end, when A. R.Blank and C. Holdsworth "were suc-cessful in their respective games in thesemi-finals. As both men are now intop form an interesting final this week-end, over 36 holes, seems assured.

"Scores returned by competitors inthe qualifying competition for theclub championship at Shirley on Sat-urday last were not impressive. Quali-fying scores in this event varied from353 (by A. R. Blank) to 166. A signi-ficant comparison is made when suchscores are comnared to par and bogeyfigures, 140 and 148 respectively, overa similar distance, 36 holes.A .repeat win and a creditable ef-

fort was staged by D. B. L. Bowker(3 up and 2) on Saturday when heretained his title by accounting forJ.- W. Arnold in the final of the Wai-mairi Beach Club's championship.

Bowker's success provides a goodexample for other youths.

Diecussing MiesKay's and Miss Gais-xttrd's play in the ladies* foursomeschampionship of Australia, at Mel-

■ bourne, an Australian paner stated:"The strong New Zealand pair, Miss©. Kay and Miss Gaisford, were ex-meted to have a great chance, par-ticularly as the latter had establisheda ccozw record SSO on the first da?

of the meeting. Neither, however,gave of their best, and a round of 92was not-a proper indication of theirability. In the afternoon the pair re-deemed themselves by handing in an82. Miss Gaisford, tall and attractive,was most convincing. She has a free,easy swing, while her iron strokes areaccurate and powerful. Miss Kay, whois rated plus 2 in New Zealand, madesome very long brassy strokes, but hershort game lacked the deadliness jwhich should be at >the command of jsuch a low marker."

"The Dominion's representatives evi-dently experienced "considerable bun-ker trouble at Cheltenham," states theSydney "Morning Herald." "Eversince they arrived in Melbourne theNew Zealand associates have given a jsorry exhibition of bunker play. To-day (August 28) their champion, MrsJ. C. Templer, not yet herself after jinfluenza, hit three fine strokes to the (530 yards seventeenth hole, but the .last stroke sent the ball into a bunker.It took her five strokes to escape, and !10 went on the'eard. The visitors per- isist in trying to chip to the pin, when <the safest recovery is by the explosive :method."

Another newspaper states that both -Miss Kay and Miss Gaisford had alesson in bunker play at the conclu-sion of the foursomes event, theirweakness in this department of thegame being most pronounced. Theyattempted the chip stroke in heavylies and invariably required anotherstroke to escape. After a few daysthey then decided to play the ex-plosion stroke and get on the green atall costs. The bunkers on Victoriancourses are reported to be much mpredifficult than those in Sydney, beingsteeper, without any hope of escapingwith a putter, while the sand is mostreluctant to part with its prey.

An amusing incident in which MissGaisford figures is reported. As MissGaisford stooped to recover her ballwhen she had putted on the ninthgreen, a kookaburra in the tree over-looking the green burst into laughter.Miss Gaisford jumped back in astartled manner, and gazed half-fear-fully at the laughing jackass.

On recent form R. G. Arnould, P. R.and I. M. Godby, three Christchurchgolfers of some promise, seem to havereached a stage in their respective golfcareers when an outing in open com-pany would be beneficial. "What couldbe better in this respect than a visit toTitirangi next month?

"Instinct is a prime factor in golfingsuccess, but one should not trust toomuch to it," writes E. R. "Whitcombe inan English paper.

"We envy the player who possessesa smooth natural swing and who canhit the ball easily. It means that hewill escape much of the drudgerywhich has to b'e gone through when astyle has to be manufactured. But itis not always these specially giftedplayers who get to the top of the han-dicapping list. Indeed, they are onlylikely to do so if they can control andapply their art to a definite purpose.That is the supreme gift. You have towork at golf to master it. No one has jever found a short cut to success.

"In all this casualness of playerstowards the game nothing is worsethan the idea that the shot has beencompleted as soon as the ball has beenstruck. Possibly they would deny thatthey have any such idea, but if they

, do hold a contrary view, they forget, all about it in playing the stroke. Ido

not want to enter into a discussion as, to whether the follow through is or is' not necessary. If I proclaim in its

favour, I shall be told to watch Abe! Mitchell for proof of the fallacy of the

I theory. All I will say is that it is a' most dangerous teaching, and I fear itI has done incalculable harm.c "If players will get into the habit of

; believing that they have only half1 completed the stroke when they have

3 hit the ball, their golf will improve.2 I have no doubt about this. The finish5 should not be thought to have beenI reached until the hands are somewhere8 level with the left shoulder and thee club has made almost a complete- circle. If this movement is carried out,p the club head is bound to carry fur-I, ther along the line of flight than if thee follow through is clipped short, ande this will make for truer hitting and ae straighter course."e

HAGLEY LADIES' CLUB

Having defeated Miss E. Atkinson inthe final round played on Wednesday,

Miss Betty Hobbs is the winner of thechampionship cup for 1933. By con-sistent driving and good approachingMiss Hobbs established a lead of 5 up

in the morning. On resuming play in

the afternoon neither player showedher best form, drives being duffed, andowing to recent top-dressing of thegreens many putts were missed. MissAtkinson was unlucky in being stymiedtwice in succession at a time when shewas making a strong effort to reduceher opponent's lead, being able only tohalve instead of win the holes, thisleaving Miss Hobbs 4 up at the twenty-seventh. Halving the thirty-secondand losing the next, Miss Hobbs wasdormy 3, and by halving the thirty-fourth she won the match 3 up and 2.

THE IGNITION LEVER

DRIVERS WHO RETARD IT TOOPAR

On cars not fitted with automatic ig-nition control many drivers, becausethey do not realise the effect of ad-vancing and retarding the ignition, failto obtain, the best results .from theircars in respect of power and economyby making insufficient use of thetiming 'control—frequently called the"spark lever." The commonest fault isrunnihg with the lever too far retarded,probably owing to its having been ob-served that in this position there isno tendency for the engine to "pink"when it is pulling hard and slowly.That policy, however, encourages Wasteof fuel, overheating, burning of thevalves and failure to secure the bestresults in power development.

To take an extreme case, if an at-tempt be made to drive at, say, 50miles an hour, on a level road with theignition lever fully retarded, approxi-mately one sixth to a quarter of thestroke of the piston is "wasted"; inother words, the fuel mixture in thecylinder is not fully ignited—the "ex-plosion" is not complete—until thepiston has travelled through a con-siderable proportion of its movementon the power stroke.

This implies, further, that the gasesare still burning when the exhaustvalve opens, so that the valve and itsseatings are liable to be overheated,and become pitted and due for re-grinding after a very much smallermileage than is normal.

The best plan is always to keep theignition as far advanced ns possible,short of giving rise to pinking. True,it is not possible in practice always tosecure that ideal, but it is one thatShould be the aim of the driver. Rough-ly speaking, it means that at all speedson top gear above 25-30 miles an hourthe ignition lever should be fully ad-vanced. {

NOTES

A feature of the World EconomicConference in London was the largenumber of luxurious Rolls-Roycelimousines which were to be seen atconference meetings, and at the manysocial events which the delegates at-tended.

Twin-cylinder advantages withsingle-cylinder simplicity are claimedfor the latest Triumph motor-cycle—-a vertical twin-cylindcr. The 650 c.c.engine develops very high power atlow speeds, while the even torque of(he power unit reduces tyre wear.

One of the latest vehicles for pas-senger transport across the desert Isa specially built Albion to be usedbetween Bagdad and Damascus,thence to Beyrout and Haifa. Thejourney entails crossing the SyrianDesert and special water tanks arefitted in the roof.

H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester hasjust purchased his sixth Sunbeam car.This is an enclosed limousine and in-cludes several features specially de-signed to meet the Duke's personalrequirements.

"Roadster" has received from LodgePlugs, Limited, Rugby, England, acopy of the firm's Lodge plug recom-mendation chart, for the use of garagesand service stations. It is printedin four colours and gives the latestavailable information about the type

! of plug to use in all makes of cars| and motor-cycles, including engines

fitted with the new 14 mm. size plugs.Copies of the chart may be obtainedfrom the company.

In the latest pattern refuse-collect-ing machine, made by Dennis. Bros.,the dustman walks into the vehicle,which has a closed metal body, to de-posit his load. This method preventsrefuse being diopped or dust andmicrobes being blown about.

The London County Council hasspecialised on Talbot ambulances, andit is interesting to learn that thechassis of this type is being exportedfor authorities overseas to nave theirown bodies constructed locally.

The total production of private carsin Great Britain last year rose to171.244, as compared with 158,997 in1931. Of every 100 manufactured15.6 were shipped abroad.Illuminated glass signposts, indicating

destinations in five directions, haveproved so successful in Liverpool thatthey are to be extended to other points.

A proposal to raise £3,500,000 in-New York by imposing a tax of 2sfor every 2001b of the weight of eachcar registered in the city has createdan uproar. It is called "the raweststeal in the history of motor taxation."

AN EFFECTIVEINSURANCE

REGULAR INSPECTION OFCARS

PREVENTING FAULTS

The simplest and most effective in-surance for motor vehicles is preven-tive maintenance through periodic in-spcctioiiß. These overhauls will catchtrouble before it happens by uncover-ing the need for repairs or adjust-ments at a time when they can bemade easily.

Many motorists have their carsregularly inspected by expertmechanics, and the trifling expense in-curred is an excellent investment, be-cause the performance, comfort, andappearance, as well as the safety, ofthe cars are maintained.

The modern car is as safe as it ispossible to make it when it leaves themanufacturer's plant. Manufacturers,however, have gone further in theirefforts to do their share in safetymaintenance. In America last yearthey voluntarily scrapped more than300,000 vehicles which were deemedto have served their time and wereconsidered no longer capable of beingmaintained in a safe operating Con-dition. Such cars formerly were re-sold at whatever price they wouldbring, and added materially to thehazards of driving.

The motor industry in England andAmerica has developed equipmentwhich makes inspection and servic-ing of a vehicle's safety factors asimple and convenient process. In-spection at least once a year is com-pulsory in some American States,while several municipalities conductsafety inspection campaigns whichmake it easy for the motorist to learnthe true condition of his car. In Mel-bourne facilities for the free inspec-tion of cars are made available atan annual "safety lane.'' It is con-sidered that a similar scheme of in-spection in all metropolitan areaswould be useful.

Wear and Tear.No piece of machinery, no matter

how well it is constructed, can beoperated continuously without becom-ing worn or getting out of adjust-ment. Motor vehicles are lio excep-tion. They, too, demand proper main-tenance if they are to deliver to theirowners the fullest feturn on their in-vestment. Many big operators of com-mercial vehicles have recognised thisneed to a large extent. They rightlyclaim that regular inspection reducesoperating costs and checks deprecia-tion. '

Perhaps the most vital equipmentin a motor vehicle from a safetyviewpoint is the braking system, andlittle time should be lost in havingthe brakes adjusted or relirted whentheit- efficiency is found to bediminishing. It should be rememberedthat a stopping distance of more than l22ft from 20 miles an hour or 50ftfrom 30 is poor performance fromfour-wheel brakes on a dry, levelroad, The flgurcateiven are actually60 per cent, of me efficiency of agood braking system in perfect order.

Tyrea that are worn smooth aredangerous, for the reason that theyhave little grip on the road whenthe brakes are applied suddenly whenthe car is moving at a fast pace.Moreover, a weak casing is liable toblow out when braking hard orcornering fast. Defective steering alsois a menace to safety, and when theplay in the steering wheel begins toincrease the owner should have the

RUBBER IN CARS

Increasing Use forParts

OUTPUT OF MORE THAN30 TREES REQUIRED

With the increasing use o£ rubberparts in car manufacturing the yearlyoutput of from 30 to 40 rubber treesis required to supply tyres, tubes, andparts for each modern car.

In 1925 the average car used aboutthree pounds of rubber parts in ad-dition to the rubber in tyres and tubes,while 1933 models carry from 30 to601b of rubber parts, according to re-search engineers of the GoodyearTyre and Rubber Co. More than 90per cent, of modern cars use at least30 to 401b of rubber made up into11 or 12 classes of parts, ranging fromspark plug caps and door bumpers totorque spring insulators and enginemountings.

The improvement in engines andfuels, together with the introductionof new silent running tyres makingfor extremely quiet operation, havenecessitated the use of rubber insula-tion to reduce body noises formerlydrowned out by the engine and tyres.Rubber insulation is also important inbreaking up the synchronisation ofvibrations and noises between tiieengine and body, caused by high speedperformance and the use of all steelbodies.

Common Uses.Prominent among the uses for rub-

ber in automobiles other than intyres and tubes are floor mats, fanbelts, spring bumpers, window ehan-

nels, bushings, body shims, andhydraulic brake hose.

Unlimited possibilities for additionalrubber parts in the automotive fieldare seen by the engineers. In a fewyears, they believe, more and morerubber will bo used in body and fenderconstruction. It is quite possible thatthere will be more replacing of solidsteel parts with rubber, perhaps re-placing the car's entire spring mechan-ism with rubber.

FAMOUS GANGSTER'S CAR

A FAST ARMOURED SEDAN

Writing to a friend in Christchurch,an officer on the Makura gives an in-teresting description of the cur usedby A 1 Capono, formerly famous asthe leader of Chicago's underworld,who iti at present serving a term ingaol for income tax evasions.

"I spent a very interesting half-hour at an exhibition stand in SanFrancisco," says the letter. "I saw the10-cylinder Cadillac armoured carformerly owned by that Tsar of theunderworld, A 1 Capone. It was a largeblack sedan, with a chromium-platedengine bonnet, the entire body cf thecar being lined inside with half-inchhigh grade sheet steel between theupholstery and the body. Fitted witha smoke-screen device and sirens fora quick getaway, the sedan is capableof 125 miles an hour. The petrol tankhas a capacity of 57 gallons, and thecar used this at the rate of one gallonto every four and a half miles. Themachine itself weighed 6000 pounds,each window weighing 75 pounds. Thewindows are made up of three-plynon-shatterable glass, which, whentested with revolver, machine-gun.and service rifle fire at a distance of25 yards, was not pierced, nor brokenvery much. A high grade radio andaddress system were built in, and pro-vision was made for bombs, machine-guns, and ammunition—a veritablebattleship on wheels."

TWO-LIFE TAIL LAMP

A tail light that is claimed never tolet the driver down has just beenpatented in London. The scheme in-corporates a neat cut-out which isfitted to the dashboard and put inservice with the tail-lamp wires; onthin cut-out is fitted a spare tail-lampbulb, which acts as a tell-tale and issimilar to the bulb fitted Jn the tail-lamp, both bulbs having two filamentsof equal wattage.

When the tail lamp is switched on,the cut-out magnetically switches onone of the two filaments in the tail-lamp bulb, but instantly one filamentfails the second filament is broughtinto action autqmatically, thus light-ing the tell-tale lamp on the dash-board.

The lighted tell-tale notifies thedriver that his tail-lamp filament hasfailed and that the second has teenbrought into use, but there Is, ofcourse, no need to pull up and no oc-casion for concern, as the secondlight which has come into operationwill last just as long as the driver de-sires to carry on. Of course, the sen-sible motorist, on arrival at his des-tination, will make arrangements forthe original lamp to be replaced. Iluisagain having a second filament in re-serve.

The function of the oil filter is toremove ffotn the crankcase oil allparticles of dirt and carbon notalready eliminated from circulation bythe oil pump screen. When the filteris entirely free of dirt its capacity issuch that the quantity of Oil in thecrankcase will p&SH through the filterapproximately every five minutes at acar speed of 25 miles an hour. Thisrate of flow will gradually decreaseuntil such time as the filter ceases tofunction, due to clogging, and whilethere is no definite limit ;o the life ofthe filtering unit, it is advisable toreplace this unit after approximatelyiJgjIQOQ scales

WORLD MARKETSINCREASE

AMERICAN ALARM

(FROM OL'E OWK COIIRESrOJfDEN'T.)

LONDON, August 4.British motor-car manufacturers

have obtained a definite ascendancyin world markets, says the motoringcorrespondent of the "Daily Tele-graph." American competition hasbeen overcome not only in the Em-pire, but in Europe to such an extentthat United States exports hav.e beencut in half during each of the lasttwo years. American manufacturersare now seriously alarmed at thethreatened disappearance of theirforeign trade.

Spain furnishes the latest evidenceof this reversal of fortunes. A mes-sage from Bilbao yesterday reportedthat American selling agents have beenordered to prevent, at any cost, thecontinued replacement of Americancars by their morn attractive Britishrivals. An intensive propaganda cam-paign has been started all over thecountry.

Comfort and Economy.One American company is reported

to have organised a spectacular cor-tege of 35 vehicles, which is touringthe Republic. All the latest modelsare represented, headed by a large carbroadcasting popular tunes. But thedisplay is said to be making little im-,pression in the Basque provinces,where the British invasion has beenmost marked.

Spanish and other European buyersappear to have ceased to demand lux-urious design. Instead, they favourpractical comfort combined with eco-nomy of running, which are the strongpoints of the British car.

In view of the official figures givenme, the American alarm is not sur-prising. In 3931 Spain took from us atotal of 97 private cars of the value of£11,290. Iji 1932 the total was 955cars valued at £120.376, and in thefirst five months of this year v/e ex-ported to Spain 1173 cars of the value;of £145,999. Thus Our exports toSpain have multiplied more than 12;times in two years and ore still rising.

Other European countries are alsoturning to Great Britain for their jmotor-cars to a gratifying extent. The!Netherlands last year took from us 3416!

[ cars, value £189,670, against 594 ofthe value of £08.237 in 1931. Portugalpractically doubled her imports of

; flritish cars last year, and Sweden,which took only 43 from us in 1931,

! bought 350 last year, value £23,975.Altogether we exported to European

, countries 11,957 cars last year, against7818 in 1931, and to all parts of the

! world 31,797 cars, against 18,992 theyear before.

Last year's total was 15.6 per cent,of all the cars produced in the UnitedKingdom. The United States exportsfor the same year fell to 40,657, only 3.6

Eer cent, of her production. The yearcfore they were 80,430, and in 1930

the total was 153,088.

STREAMLINED CARS

BRITISH EXPERT'S VIEWS

Discussing streamlining recently aprominent British engineer said thatlittle had been done on cars sold tothe public, probably because there hadbeen more important improvements tobe made than that of discovering theshape offering the least resistance tothe air. The possibilities, however,were enormous. A normal type ofclosed car, running at 35 miles an;hour, required eight horse-power to;overcome rolling resistance, and an-other eight horse-power to overcomeair resistance. At 70 miles an hourthe figures became 16 and 64, while at80 miles an hour no less than 19 horse-power was required for road resist-ance and 100 horse-power for air dis-placement. It is interesting to notethat at the moderate cruising speedof 35 miles an hour half the powerdeveloped is being used to force apassage through the air, and at veryfrequent bursts of speed about two-thirds of the power is being wastedin overcoming air resistance.

EUROPE'S ROADS

Among European countries Francehas the greatest length of motoringroads, according to statistics publishedin Prague. These statistics show thatthe world possesses 6,665,800 miles ofmotoring roads, of which 1,225,700 arein EuroDe. The figures are:—

GLARING HEADLIGHTS

The attention of the Royal Auto-mobile Club of Queensland has beendrawn to the practice of some citymotorists driving with powerful head-lights full on in the city streets, saysthe Brisbane "Courier." "The averagemotorist, doubtless, has never givenmuch thought to the matter, andprobably is quite unaware of the dif-ficulty he is creating for other roadusers by this practice," the club writes."There can be little or no difficulty of,driving quite safely in city streetswith lights dimmed. If only drivers,would realise this and keep theirheadlights dim until they reach theouter suburbs of the city a relief fromthis danger would be found. When thebitumen roaas are wet this danger isconsiderably increased, and conse«quently it becomes more necessary toavoid having headlights full on. Thismay entail the exercise of a little morecare, and less speed, but, in the in-terests of safety, it will Jse found,'yortfr wfail^

CAUSES OF ROADCONGESTION

I

| CARELESS PARKING!

| WASTE OF SPACE ON THE| STREETS

: "Beyond any doubt carelessness ini leaving or parking motor vehicles is

I one of the most prolific causes of road! dangers and road congestion," says theI latest safety-first message of the Can-! terbury Automobile Association.! "In many busy thoroughfares in thecity the Christchurch City CouncilIhas marked the streets with whitelines parallel with the ksrbing as aguide to motorists, and an appeal ismade by this association for the full-est observance of the area marked out.That observance is particularly neces-sary in thoroughfares where tramsrun. There is no good reason why:motorists should leave their vehicles]several feet or yards out on the road-way from the channelling. It mustbe obvious that the habit of so leavingvehicles is wasteful of road space, andit must be obvious that where parallelparking is obligatory it is not onlywasteful of space but dangerous forcyclists and other motorists, if driversleave their cars at all angles.

"When a car is wedged in on anangle between two cars parkedparallel difficulty is created. It isonly by the strictest orderliness andadherence to the rules and by-lawsthat the greatest satisfaction can begiven to all classes of traffic, and itis to assist towards that end that theChristchurch City Council has pro-vided useful guiding lines in manystreets for regular parking."

Motor-bus tours round the city havebeen inaugurated for the season byGlasgow Corporation Transport De-partment. By means of loud speakersin each of the touring buses passengersare kept informed by the conductor oi'the historical and other interests on -theroute.

British hospitals spend £230,000 ayear in treating persons injured inroad accidents.

SIR ARTHUR DUDLEYDOBSON

A WELL-KNOWN FIGURE

One of the best-known figuresamong the survivors of Canterbury'spioneering days, Sir Arthur Dud-ley D6bson, will celebrate hisninety-second birthday to-morrow.Since his arrival in Canterbury inone of the First Four Ships, thebarque Cressy, nearly 83 years ago,Sir Arthur has taken a keen inter-est in the welfare of the provinceand his life has been intimatelybound up with the development ofboth city and country. Thoughentering on his ninety-third yearhe maintains his interest in manypublic societies and organisationswhich aim at the advancement ofthe province or the preservation otits historic past.

Born at Islington, London, onSeptember 9, 1841, Sir Arthur cameto New Zealand at the age of nineyears with his father, Edward Dob-son, who was appointed ProvincialEngineer in 1854. The son waseducated at Christ's College, and onleaving school was employed, withhis brother George, on public workswhile learning the profession ofengineer and surveyor. Surveyingwork at Lyttelton, on the upperwaters of the Hurunui, and roundLake Sumner and the adjoininglakes, and a visit to the MackenzieCountry as topographical assistantto Sir Julius von Haast occupied hisearlier years until 1862, when atthe age of 21 he was given thecontract to survey an unknownblock of land on the West Coastrunning southwards from the Greyriver for 75 miles. It was whileon one of his journeys from Christ-church to the West Coast that hediscovered Arthurs Pass, which willbe a permanent memorial to hisname and work.

His work took Sir Arthur to Col-lingwood. Nelson, in 1864, and from1869 until 1878 he was engaged firstas district engineer on the WestCoast goldfields and then as engin-eer in charge of public works atWestport. In 1878 he returned toChristchurch to help his father, and■when work became slack in Can-terbury he went over to Melbourne,■where he built the Warrnamboolharbour works."

Returning to Christchurch in 1897,Sir Arthur took over the businessconducted by his father and workedon engineering projects in Canter-bury until 1901, when he was ap-pointed Gity Engineer in Christ-church. In 1921 he retired fromthat position, but continues to prac-tise his profession privately.

PLUNKET DAY

SOCIETY'S STREETAPPEAL

600 COLLECTORS AT WORK

More than 500 collectors will takepart to-day in the Plunket Society'sannual street appeal to raise fundsfor the care of the children of NewZealand. As in past years the so-ciety has again set itself out toraise £IOOO through the appeal, andIt is hoped that once more thePublic will contribute to this valu-able. cause.

...

> The headquarters of the appealwill be, at the Canterbury JockeyClub's rooms in Oxford terrace, andfrom there the collectors will patrolthe streets with their boxes of vio-lets from 7.30 in the morning untilS o'clock in the evening. In thepast-it has been found that onlyabout half the required sum of£IOOO is brought in by the col-lectors, but the remainder has alwaysbeen satisfactorily made up by theprofits from the stalls selling pro-duce, cakes, and other goods. Thisyear these stalls will be set upalong the river bank, opposite theVictoria statue. Other additions tothe total takings of the appeal comefrom, the many bridge parties and(lances which are held during thewinter in aid of the cause.

: For this year's appeal the vari-ous sub-centres of the PlunketSociety in and about Christchurchhave been allocated certain areas inthe City, for which they will providecollectors. Assisting them will bemembers of the Navy League andthe nurses from the Karitahe Hos-pital, Cashmere.

Supplies of Violets.i The supply of violets, bunches of

which the collectors give in returnfor contributions, is larger thanusual this year. The violet growers©f Redcliffs, Mount Pleasant, AvocaValley, and Horotane Valley havegiven large quantities, and yester-

ay children from the Sydenham,Opawa, and West Christchurchschools were taken out to the gar-dens to pick the flowers. Additionalsupplies from the North Island ar-rived yesterday morning, and yes-terday afternoon helpers were busyat the Jockey Club's rooms makingthe flowers into bunches of suitablesize.

; It was announced some days agothat in order to attract the mothersinto the city for the day numberedenvelopes would be distributed tomothers, and that the holders oflucky numbers would be eligible forprizes, about 25 of which had beenpresented by local tradespeople.This scheme has had to be givenup, however. All those engaged incollecting or helping the appeal to-morrow will be provided with teaa't the Navy League hall and at thePlunket Society's rooms.

Value of the Work.The value of the work done by

the Plunket Society probably can-not; be computed in terms ofpounds, shillings, and pence. Atyrh&t is frequently only a nominalcharge it provides treatment formothers and babies which is of thegreatest importance in building upthe health of the race. At the Kari-tane Baby Hospital at Cashmere, forexample, the average cost to par-ents whose children were in thehospital ;was Is a day a head dur-ing the months of April, May, andJune. Such a payment, of course,meets only a fraction of the costof running the institution, and thesociety, more especially since therecent reduction was made in theGovernment grant, is compelled toask the public to contribute some-thing towards its work. In thepast the appeal has always beenanswered with the generosity forwhich Christchurch is famousthroughout the. Dominion, and thesociety confidently looks'forward to/a satisfactory result of to-day'sAppeal,

LABOUR AND THE LIBERALSTO THE Klll'Hjtt OF TliiJ I'KK9S. I

Sir,—Mr Holland and other mem-bers of the Labour party are ardently

.courting the Liberals of Lyttelton. Mrhas surely forgotten that five

•ihort years ago he wrote a most scath-ins condemnation of the Liberals in8 "booklet. How the Liberals Voted,jn that publication, Mr Holland con-cludes the preface, "The Liberals In-dicted," with the words: "In theoryand in practice they (the Liberals)

stand on a common platform with theConservatives and uncompromisinglyagainst the Labour party." In the face01 this, how can any Liberal possiblyvote Labour'—Yours, etc.,

OLD LIBERAL.Tc Aroha, September 5, 1933.

WILL LYTTELTON VOTECOALITION?

TO TUB KDtTOC OF THE I'RKSS.

Sir.-rlri response to "Labour All theWay" stating in his letter that he didnot know what I inferred * when Istated that the Labour parly was a•still-born party," I will try to givea little more .lucidity to the state-

i ment. In its embryo stage Labour cer-tainly had a humanitarian philosophy.It deplored the evils of the presentsocial and economic system with evi-dent vehemence and conviction. Itwas voluble in its exhortations to thevictims of industrialism, urging themtQ "get together," emphasising that"unity is strength," etc., and calledon them to "adjust our wrongs" and"bring about an equality of mankind,our natural heritage." It advocatedidealism of a perfectly Utopian nature,and supported philosophies whichwould ha\e emerged from the chry-salis or embryo stage to an unassail-able position of material recognitionby all, had not the process of incuba-tion been deranged by ulterior, mer-cenary factors. Instead of the originalideals being advanced, the themeunderwent a gradual transformation,resulting in hatching a complete tra-vesty of itself. Evolutionary processessaw innumerable disciples ready tochampion the cause of this politicalinnocuity.

We find the labour politicians to-day with no definite, fixed philosophy,their originality having been lost dur-ing the gradual transitory period. Theystress the extreme urgency of vari-ous social reforms, in no in-stance furnish their supporters withinformation as to how the said re-forms are to be brought about. Thefavourite platitude applied in con-nexion, with the "return to prosper-ity" campaign is to "stabilise the

' price of exports." In other words, liter-ally "command" prices for produce onthe overseas markets. The factor, and& primary one, namely, that the pur-chasing power of the overseas clientsis in a shrunken condition is stead-fastly ignored. The position of beingbuyer and seller combined is unique,

f Tnese gentlemen are fully conversant| with this obvious phase, but still pur-sue the impossible phantom. Putting

. all unemployed back into remunera-tive productive employment is an- Iother lofty and Idealistic inspiration,but as to how it can be accomplishedtile general public is not entitled to ,Jmow. It Is a secret known only tothe labour party. 'I assert that politicians • who delib-

erately circulate and put this ArabianNight* stuff on the public have noconsideration for the reasoning powersof the community. Labourites,, at thebest, only suggest making conditionslew intolerable. The removal of thenatural causes of international stag-nation, with its necessary supplementot poverty, does not concern them.Their main incentive is to concen-trate on palliatives. Any individualor ccpumunity who may suggest some-thing.original and effective in theway of social reform is classified bythese "passive" fighters as a reaction-ary and undemocratic. During an elec-tion period they emerge from theirfastnesses and broadcast their tidingsof hope to suffering humanity, killingevery other field of thought andhonest endeavour, disparage theirsaner thinking opponents, administer isomething in the form of a verbalopiate to any "doubting Thomas"amongst their supporters, and at the iconclusion of the campaign fade into icomplacent obscurity. «

My friend alludes to Labour having ibeen a "stop gap" during the last 'three years. Had it not developed an .idiosyncrasy for "tuft hunting" and 1opportunism, it could have been an '■impenetrable "fence." '■My friend asks me to read,the planks J

, of the Labour platform. He is a little '' late. I have analysed each item. I 1have subjected the planks of Labour •

platforms in four different countries 'to a close scrutiny; they all coincide !in one particular point, namely, doing *everything in their power to rectifythe evils of the present system pro- *■vidmg it does not interfere with ac- £cepted orthodoxy of society as con- <stituted in general. They are perfectly *innocuous until they get out of the *hands of the "Philistines" and exhibit £a modicum of personality and origin-ality, combined with honesty of pur- Jpose.—-Yours, etc., 1

SPORT AND COMPETITIONTO Tan BDITOS 01* TH3 PEE9B.

Sir—ln your cross-country runningftoten this morning, mention is madeby "Whipper-in" that certain runnersand a certain club (unnamed) lookonly for the social side of the sport.There .are many runners who, like■raapy trampers and mountaineers,take up the sport not for the pots"ley can win, but, as "Whipper-in"jays, for the fun they can get out ofit, and while admitting that the socialside of harriering is enjoyable, it doesnot mean to say that harriers andclubs who do not win the competitionsaf® a pack of tea-drinkers.Whfin sport develops into one long,

THE BROADCASTING BOARD

This play was contorted almost out| of recognition, and then was played

by women characters who had noknowledge ot' the dialect and whogave a weak and insipid presentationof the characters. Some time ago wesuffered similarly from a radio pro-duction of "Waterloo."

While these things are being donein the name of drama, I shall con-tinue to be disgruntled. No wonderthat plays came last in the late "ques-tionnaire."

Suppose that the programme organ-iser or the announcer took one ofBeethoven's sonatas, and deleted aportion here and there and addedmovements of his own composition,and then caused the mtqsic to be pre-sented over the air by an untrainedorchestra, what would bo the reactionof the musician listeners-in? I thinkthey would be disgruntled. It is farbetter that drama should not bebroadcast at all than that it shouldbe mutilated.—Yours, etc.,

DOUGLAS SOCIAL CREDIT

I TO TUB EDITOl; OF THE I'HK.SS.

Sir,—"Well, did you learn much?"J said the Rev. Archer to me after pre-siding over a standing room only meet-ing. (Miss King had about 50 menlined up against the wall to hear her.)Mr Archer interestingly opened themeeting while these men were liningup, and whetted our appetites for whatwas to come. We were as decorous as acongregation—no interjections. andonly one question at the end, whichseemed to be part of the programme"Does Douglas propose to give some-thing for nothing?" This was repliedto by Miss King with another: "Do wenot get many things for nothing—air,sun heat, 100 per cent, increasewhen we plant a pickle of wheat andso on?"

The vote of thanks was proposed inbiblical hyperbole—"We have listenedto the best address that has ever beendelivered in Christchurch. I wish wccould purloin Miss King from Dune-din." "Better let her remain whereshe is, as there are more hard-headedbank shareholders down there thanhere."

If part of the Douglas plan is toemploy speakers of the calibre of MissKing, then King Gold, or filthy lucre,or Mammon or whatever Frankensteinit is that is at the centre of the pre-sent m»ney system, may well trembleon its feet of clay, in Its pinchingshoes.

The precis of Miss King's addressis that the writing is on the wall. Themonster has been weighed in thebalance and found wanting. We areonly waiting for an expression of thepeople's will to relieve the presentbanking system of its job of creatingcredit by writing figures. The bankswill remain with increased staffs be-cause there will be more people withbanking accounts. As this class be-comes less, as it has been steadily do- jing, so the Douglas plan becomesstronger. It does not seem as if wehave to take our courage in both handsto give it a go. It may take courage jto remain longer as we are. It will.be dangerous to do so, as the presentmoney system is war-provoking. TheDouglas plan claims to remove thisprovocation. The present system offerswork to the workless, not goods. I

A girl said to me lately: "I am not jtoo pleased with myself, holding this,man's job, but needs must when the jdevil drives." It is this devil whichMajor Douglas is aiming to drive outof our midst, and when we all do ourbit intelligently, out he will go. Iknow that many of my "have" friendswill say, when they read this letter,"That silly old man has been beguiledand beguiled," but it is bred in me to:try the untried, so I hope before I trythe great adventure o£ life to see thisadventure tried.—Yours, etc.,

PETER TROLOVE.September 7, 1933.

REGISTERING A PEA-RIFLETO THE EDITOR, OF THK, lUIE9B.

Sir,—A gentleman signing himselfJohn Booth gives your humble ser-vant a thorough castigation in "ThePress" to-day for what I wrote on theabove subject, and no doubt his re-buke is well merited. He says thathe, too, has had transactions withthe police in connexion with the re-gistration of a pea rifle, and he assuresyour readers that he has never metmore courteoys and brotherly menthan those he met at the arms office,Christchurch. Well, I am not awarethat I made any charge of discourtesyto me by the police. I had no com-plaint on that score. They were allcourteous to me, but I did not experi-ence anything of a particularlybrotherly nature in my several inter-views, and if they were brotherly toJohn Booth, I should advise him tokeep as "brotherly" with them as pos-sible, as it might stand him in goodservice some of these days. Anyway,I was not dealing with the originalregistration, but with the reregistra-tion 12 years afterwards. It was thetriviality of the whole affair thattickled me, and I forfeited the imple-ment; John Booth ought to follow myexample.

I have heard something of the OldCountry's laws of which he writes,and I have also heard of some mis-creants having been hanged for poach-ing in the same Old Country, but wein this new country arc more enlight-ened, and our laws are more liberal.

John Booth does not seem to knowthat in this country shags are out-lawed, and that the Canterbury Ac-climatisationSociety gives 12s a dozenfor their heads (wholesale), and willalso give Is a head (retail). Theshag is a predatory bird, and seemsto have a particular anpetite for trout.As many as half-a-dozen trout havebeen found in one's interior economy,and trout up to three or four poundsin weight have also been found in-side a shag. So, John Booth will seethat we get rewarded here for shoot-ing shags, instead of having to sufferdire punishment, as in Great Britain.

What beats me is that I got off solightly, when I gave up my rifle. Ifully expected that I would becharged double rates for being so re-calcitrant. I suppose that that wasjust one of the points that was over-looked when the belated regulationswere made by the Governor-in-Coun-cil.—Yours, etc.,

AUGUST WEATHEREXCELLENT WINTER

MONTH

REPORT BY THE DOMINIONMETEOROLOGIST

iI'RESS ASSUII.\ PON IT. 1.1:G It AM.I

"WELLINGTON, September 7.Following is the report of the Do-

minion Meteorologist (Dr. E. Kidson)on the weather experienced in NewZealand during August:—

August was an excellent wintermonth. Reports from almost all partsof the country show that the season

I is unusually far advanced. There hasalready been some growth of grass,and crops and pastures arc lookingvery well. Though temperatureshave been about normal, there liasbeen an absence, throughout the win-ter, of days when strong winds, cold,and rain, hail or snow, combine to pro-duce severe conditions for man, beayt,and plant. The mountains are un-usually tree from snow for the timeof year, while on the low levels therehave been no falls of consequence.Stock have come through the wintervery weli, especially dairy cattle. Theshortage of rainfall continues in Can-terbury, Marlborough, and some othereastern areas. In parts of Canterburyfeed is scarce and reserves are prac-tically exhausted. Parts of the Wai-rarapa, also, are experiencing ratherstringent conditions. The situationeven in these districts would, however,be righted by good rains during thenext two months, and the general out-look is very satisfactory.

Rainfall Distribution.The distribution of rainfall during

the month was too patchy to describein detail. In general there was adeficiency in eastern districts, whilewestern districts had approximatelythe average. The principal areas withan excess were on the Taranaki coast,about Cook Strait, and in the westernparts of Olago and South Canterbury.In the Auckland province conditionsvaried considerably from place toplace. In Canterbury, Hawke's Bay, !and Poverty Bay totals were much jbelow average.

Mean temperatures were ratherabove normal over the greater part ofthe country, but the contrary was thecase in eastern districts from Marl-borough northwards, and in the farnorth. There was an absence of ex-tremes of any kind and frosts were jless numerous and less severe than iusual. I

The differences between the total Isunshine recorded at various placesand the averages for August did notshow any systematic arrangement.Excellent records were experienced atTauranga (211.1 hours'). Lake Tekapo |(197.0 hours), and New Plymouth i(193.3 hours). !

Pressure Systems.None of the storms experienced dur- !

ing the month was severe, and therewas a marked tendency for thosecoming from Australia to lose intensitybefore crossing the Dominion.

The first four days were cold, show-ery, and rather boisterous owing tothe passage of westerly depressions onAugust 2 and 4, the latter being thedeeper of the two. Each was followed >by southerly gales, while some partshad westerly or northerly gales as ■the second approached. Snow was iwidespread on the high levels, and inumerous hailstorms were reported.

A fine spell followed until anotherwesterly depression arrived on AugustJO. This caused northerly gales,which were particularly strong in theCook Strait area. At Carterton somedamage was done by a small tornado.Again there were some hailstorms anda certain amount of snow on the highlevels. Rain was almost general andmany of the falls heavy. In SouthAuckland some flooding was reported.A particularly fine and calm spell wasthen experienced, and it was not untilAugust 21 and 22 that a complex de-pression once more caused practicallygeneral rains.

Fifth Westerly Storm.There were north-easterly gales at

many places from Cook Strait north-wards on August 21. A fifth westerlystorm passed slowly between August24 and 27. All parts of the Dominion ;experienced some rain and many of ithe falls were again heavy. Thunder- jstorms occurred at many places, es-pecially In the North Island. A partof Auckland was affected by a short-lived hailstorm on August 27, in whichsome of the stones were unusuallylarge. Pressure remained low to theeast of the North Island for some time, (and on August 28 heavy rains fell inthe Hawke's Bay and Poverty Baydistricts.

MEETING CONDITIONS.

USE 0F EARLY SPRING GRASS.

IT appears certain now that the high hopesbuilt on the World Economic Conferem-n

cannot bo realised, but that does not meanrhat a policy of resignation is the only courseto ba adopted. On the contrary, we Bee nolessening of the intensity of effort on the partof thoso countries with whom New Zealandjnust compote for its export markets, andundoubtedly the race will go to the country■which can produco tho highest quality butternt the cheapest price, and New Zealandmust avail itself of every means that willJiolp to tho achievement of that aim.

Apart from the probability of a moregeneral adoption of "all tho year-rounddairying to secure a more oven distributionof production, a great deal can be done to-wards the securing of a longer and moreprofitable dairying season by planning for anearlier season through more intensive, pas-ture management.

FEED .SCARCE WHEN MOST NEEDED.

A well-informed agriculturalist recentlyexpressed tho view that "the greatest wrnik-Beas of farming in New Zealand is undoubt-edly tho lack of sufficient food for dairy

i'owß.in the early spring—either throughIho lack of ensilage or through having in-

sufficient grass a\ailablo at that time.

This undoubted fact becomes more serious■when we consider how tho lack of suitableieed affects tho eecuring to the dairy farmer©f the benefits of a more profitable produc-ing seaßon following on. earlier calving.

The cow "in calf" obviously require*the best of nourishment, not only enablingher to Btand up to the strain of calving, butalso to be in a condition to make a quick re-covery and start immediately on production.

In recent years tho progressive dairyfarmer, in order to moet the changed condi-tions, has adopted this policy of earliercalving as giving him a longer producingseason and a higher production at a lowercost an acre. In addition, the risk otdrought, with its disastrous effect on pro-duction, has been minimised, for tho bestpart of the production season is over bythe time the dry season arrives.

EARLIER SPRING FEED ESSENTIAL.The absolute essential of success in such

A policy is the supply earlier in the springof sufficient milk producing feed. The sheepfarmer is equally concerned with the provi-sion of early spring grass for early lambing©WE'S, as this nutritious feed ensures the

largest percentage of fat lambs off themother. Under the conditions of the lastfew years supplementary feed has provedexpensive and uncertain, so that the main

lefianca for the supply of this "out-of-sea-gon" grass is being placed on tho pasturewhich, properly handled, produces the cheap-est and best form of milk-producing feed.

HOW TO SECURE EARLIER GROWTH.Normally grass growth is impossible dur-

ing tho colder months of the year when thesoil bacteria, which provides the necessarynitrogen to promote growth, is doi.aant, butby applying artificial nitrogen it is possibleto feed tho plants and so secure the mostvaluable of stock foods—early spring grass.

In view of the doubts that persist in somedirections it is necessary to emphasise thatnitrogen does not force pasture, theplants receive a food that is necessary tothem, and the experience of New Zealandfarmers who have used nitrogen manure in

the right way for five or six years is thatthe pasture is vastly improved in compositionand fertility.

A FEW HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

To get the best results from the use of anitrogenous fertiliser the following points■re important:

1. Use Ammoniated Super (2 parts Super,•nd 1 part Sulphat® of Ammonia).

2. Use it on your best ryegrass pasture.

8. Apply it when grass is showing growthmovement in the spring.

4. Apply IS to 2£cwt on sheep pastures,•nd 3 to 4cwt on dairy pastures.

5. Graze before it gets long—3 or 4 inchesfor sheep; 4 to 0 inches for cows.

6. When possible, ration the feed, put-ting stock on for a few hours a day.

7. Never let grass get away from stock.8. When ordinary grass comes on other

fields—those not. treatod with nitrogen —youmay let the nitrogen fields go for a crop ofshort ensilage.

9. Then keep nitrogen field grazed.

H. MATSON and CO,

DON'T SPARE THE PAINT.

'A TIMELY COAT NOT ONLY IMPROVESAPPEARANCE BUT PROLONGS

UTILITY.Paint not only improves the appearance

•f farm property, but increases its years*>i service. The durability of both wood-work and iron depends pretty much on how■well it is kept coated with paint. Doors,window-frames, etc., last ever so much longerif they are given two good coats of paintevery year, or every alternate year, at leaßt.Indoor paintwork does not require bo fre-quent renewal. The same remark appliesgenerally to machinery and implements.

All things that are frequently exposed, tothe weather should be well painted, if theywould bo expected to give long and usefulservice. Steel and iron are often as badly

in need of paint as is the woodwork of thefield implements and machinery. The wear-ing parts which are generally clear fromactive use should be coated with grease w■black lead when the' implements are laidaside for a season. Hot sunshine is de-•tructlvo to woodwork because it causes itto crack and split' and tb® paint to blisterand poel off, thus rendering it less resistantto the rain and heavy saturating fogs.

Binders, tfeapers, mowers, and other ma-chinery will nlwaya give better service andlast longer when they are overhauled,

cleaned, oiled, greaßed, painted, _ and ro-•paire-d where necessary, before beintf storedunder cover for another season. The manwho only discovers that Mb machinery is outof repair when Us season of uso has begun,labours under1 a seriouß handicap.

ADVERTISING ASi ADVERTISING AS

ADVERTISING ASINVESTMENT.INVESTMENT.INVESTMENT.

AT a time like the present, whenmost business executives are

exploring every avenue for thestimulation of sales and the reduc-tion of overhead, the question ofadvertising receives more thanusual attention. This is, perhaps,only natural, and rightly so, for 1there is no avenue through whichmoney can be wasted more easily ;

! similarly, there is no more profit-able field for investment, particu-larly in a time of business stress, 'than that offered by advertising.

Any keen business executivelooking back through the files ofNew Zealand's leading news-papers cannot help being struckby the fact that most of the well-established, progressive firms ofto-day arc those who have beenconsistent advertisers. It is sig-u nificant, also, that the progress of

t most firms can be traced by theiradvertising. Some firms, for in-

, stance, which held a big share oftheir particular business field 20or 30 years ago, have written thestory of their decline in the adver-tising pages of the daily news-papers. Others, again, show theirrise and ever-continuing expan-sion. It is an interesting study,for in no sphere do methodschange quicker than in that ofadvertising, and no field offersgreater opportunity for the build-ing up of goodwill. Furthermore,it is a field no commercial institu-tion can afford to neglect.

' The people of Canterbury are,r and have always been, used to1 their morning newsoapcr, and, as
