It was decided to instruct the Association's delegates to the U.B.A. to vote againstthe first two clauses, but to support thothird. , .

Owing to having received notice of trant>fer, the secretary, Mr E. T. Murray, sub-mitted his resignation. Eulogistic refurences were made to the splendid work ofMr Murray duriag his term of office.

PATRIOTIC SOCIAL.

JUSTICES' ASSOCIATION.

ADDRESS BY DEAN JULIUS.

The Canterbury Justices of the PeaceAssociation's patriotic social, which waaheld in the Masonic Hall last night, waswell attended and was presided overby Mr A. Williams, president of theAssociation. The evening's programmeopened with the kinging, by those pre-sent, of the first verse of the NationalAnthem.

The chairman said it would be fittingon their part to submit to his Excel-lency the Governor-General theirhearty good wishes to his Majesty theKing on the anniversary of his birth-day ; also their Keen desire and hopethat his Majesty would be speedily re-stored to health and strength.

Concurrence was signified by thoaepresent standing

The chairman then extended a wel-come to gentlemen in Canterbury re-cently appointed Justices of the Peace,some of whom were present.

Dean Julius, who was received withapplause, said he had been asked tospeak on patriotism. He could havepreached a sermon on that subject, bntas a matter of fact it was one of themost difficult of subjects for a man tospeak on. It was difficult in the or-dinary patriotic speech to avoid wav-ing the flag and beating the drum, andto avoid lauding one's own countryexcept at the expense of other nation-alities. Patriotism was not somethingthey could teach a man. It was likerelieion—one had t-o "catch it." Itcould be taught only by example ofpublic service, or by sacrifice for one'*country.

It was a kindred subject about whichhe would like to say something—theKing as a man. On the anniversaryof his Majesty's coronation thevthoueht of him a* Kine: on a man'sbirthday they foruot his office andtitles—at anv rate they took a second-ary place. He spoke subject to correc-tion. because he might be giving awronn impression hut be believed thathis Majesty found thnt hi« nosition en-tniled certain responsibilities and ac-tion. which were distasteful to him:the pomp, and pageantrv. and puhliritvwere the very last things, if his Ma-jesty had bis ow" that be wonlHhave sought. They al' knew that theKing had never shirked in the veryslightest degree any duty pertaining tohis office. Again subject to correction,he felt that the King was a shy man,and shyness was an affliction not easilyiborne. The shy man very often was aman who loved his fellow-men -deeplyand would have them know of his lovefor them and his goodwill to them, butfelt that between himself and them wasa barrier very difficult to surmountThe King must find it very hard toknow whether his love and service wererecognised and whether the apprecia-tion men showed was appreciationrather of the office than of the man.Some words his Majesty said, after hiarecovery from his long illness, madeone feel that during that illness theKing realised that his people loved himfor himself, and not only because ofhis office and position. Ilis illness hadrevealed to him that the love, theanxiety, and the keenness for his re-covery shown by people all over the Em-pire were shown really for himaelf. Hispeople had learned how faithfully, howtruly and whole-heartedly and aelf-sacrifieinglv his Majesty had given him-self to the service of his country, andthat it was a work of love which heundertook because he desired to servethose who were his subjects aa well aahis fellow-men.

The Dean devoted the concluding por-tion of his remarks to a description, inparts humorous, of the origin andgrowth of the institution of hiaMajesty's Commission of fhe Peace."

On the motion of Mr H A Young,<; M seconded by Mr G. E. Franklin,a "vote of thanks was accorded DeanJulius and also tho*- who had .on-Uihuted item* to the programme

The following musical and e.oeu-

tionarv items were given:-Pianoforteselection, Miss Stella Oshonie (who

OTIRA EXCURSION.

AN ENJOYABLE TRIP.

If the 900-odd excursionists who com-prised the record excursion to Arthur'sPass and Otira yesterday hoped or ex-pected to find the Pass under a mantleof snow, they were disappointed, toralthough there had recently been a fallof snow at Arthur's . Pass, there waslittle of the wintry carpet remaining,and the road through the Gorge waspractically free frotn snow. However,the weather for walking was ideal—neither too cold nor too warm, and thetramp over the Pass was an exception-ally pleasant one.

There was sufficient sunshine tothrow the magnificent peaks that towerover the Pass into brilliant relief, theircaps of snow and ioe frittering abovethe tangled vegetation of the lower alti-tudes. Two trains, each of ten car-riages. were necessary to cope with thecrowd that took the opportunity ofvisiting this wonderful scenic asset toCanterbury, and of the excursionistsmore than 50 per cent, made the trmmpover the Pass, the less athletically-in-clined contenting themselves with theminor thrill of doing a two-way tripthrough the famous Otira tunnel—oneof the engineering feats of the cen-tnrv.

There was still abundant evident* ofthe havoc wrought by the earthquakeof March, and the inspection of thedamage provided one of the interestingfeatures of the trip. On the Pass,there were_ still gapine fissures thatgrimly reminded one of the residents'night of terror on March 9th. while anumber of boulders still nartiallv ob-structed the passage to Otira. Theslips had nearly all been cleared awav.''ut the effect of the slides down themountain sides va» still apparent inthe scars in the local flora.

Rugby Football.Encouraged by a fine day nearly 2000

people assembled on the Show Groundsyesterday to witness the representativeBugby team in action for the first time

| this season against Otago 'Varsity. AtI one stage it appeared as if they wouldemerge victorious, but they let theirsupporters down in the second spell,when 'Varsity livened up and won by17 points to 9. The teams were:—

Otago 'Varsity (navy blue)—J. Muir,N. Clotiston, J. McKenzie, N. Smith, W.Harbutt, D. Louder, E. K, McLean, K.F. Thomas, N. Blue, A. Mcllroy, J. Ait-ken, K. F. Wilson, E. Gray, W. W. Abel,A. M. Hamilton;

Ashburtofl kicked off, but play wasstraggling at the outset. 'Varsityessayed a passing rush, but McKenziefumbled. The local team showed pro-mise in their first padding movement,btit the effort broke down. Mulhernand Pawson carried the play down tothe corner. 'Varsity got possessionfrom & line out, but Brown interceptednicely and made for the line to registerthe first try. Tainui failed with thekick at goal. Ashburton bustled theiropponents and Lane, well supported byFriedlander, dived over for a, nice try,.Farr did not convert. Ashburton 6,'Varsity nil. 'Varsity were not put-ting up the resistance that was expec-ted of them, but they had to contendwith a bustling set of forwards. Thevisitors brightened up and a brilliantrush was set in motion by McLean.The ball went on to Louder and H'ar-butt, but Nicoll (Ashburton) intercep-ted and saved the situation. Tainuinearly let the visitors in for a scorowhen he misjudged th 6 bounce nearthe corner. Farr sent the Ashburtonbacks away, but the effort broke downwith a wide pass, and Louder steppedin and made the running for 'Varsity.McKenzie made a nice run up the fielda fid passed to Aiken, btii the latterpassed wide. Ashburton rallied andkicked down the field. Daltoii spurtedand, outclassing two of ths opposition,pounced On the ball, which had come totest oVef the line. Taittuj failed toconvert. Ashburton 9, 'Varsity 0.'Varsity took control and from a pen-alty McKenaie landed a beautiful goal.Ashburton 9, 'Varsity 3. Owing totInjuries Lane (Ashburton) wag replacedby Elms, and Clouston ('Varsity) wasreplaced by Byers. Up and down playfollowed until Brown and Dalton gotaW&y and another try seethedlikely, but in liis eagefheg9JE>alton took a forward pass.Hook (Ashburton) sent the ball outnicely to Friedlander, who let out toClark. The latter made a brilliantdash but was grassed by Muir, whosetackling, like that of the majority ofthe 'Varsity players, Was good. Thevisitors indulged in some nippy pass-ing, but mishandling and forward pass-ing resulted in their being penalised.They kept Ashburton hemmed on theline, however, until they in turn wereawarded a penalty kick, Louder's at-tempt, from a handy position, wentwide. The visiting backs came againand had Ashburton hard put to it tokeep them out. Half-tirte relieved the"Whites.

On the resumption of play, Ashbur-ton set tip an attack, Hood, Dalton,and Farr being in the van. McLean,who was playing a good game at halffor Varsity, gent the leather toLouder and Harbutt. Smith and Mc-Kenzie handled in perfect manner, butClarke brought the last-named downon the line. Play returned to midfield,where Dalton broke away from a ecruinwith the ball at toe. Muir gatheredit in, however and found the line.Whiting and Smith came through aline otit looking dangerous, but Muiragain saved. Thomas, Aitkin, andGray were prominent in a dribblingrush which threatened the local team s

["line, but in their eagerness they in-i fringed the rules. Waiting off-side to

I tackle a man about to take possessionof the ball was frequently indulged inby some of the Ashburton forwards.From play in the Bine territory, Mc-Kenzie got possession and found theline near the Corner flag. tYom theline-out, Louder took the ball andmade a good attempt to drop a goal.The Blues were rewarded, for the backshandled in fine style and the leatherWent out to McKenzie, who cut in toscore. The try was not converted. Ash-burton 9, 'Varsity 6.

"STAFF OF LIFE."

.WHITE FLOUR OR BRO\VN ?

THE FALLACY OF FADS.

The following contribution to the re-eent discussion on the respective meritsof white and brown bread hae been sup-plied us by -Mr 11. W. West, the researchchemist in charge of the newly-estab-lished Wheat Research Institute. MrWest has had opportunities to study thesubject thoroughly in Canada, and is in-terested in it both from the scientificpoint of ' iew and from that of economicyalue.

"Nutrition may be regarded as theprocess of supplying the materialsnecessary to promote tlie growth anddevelopment of living organisms, theirreproduction and the maintenance ofthose organisms in a healthy condition,when fully developed. Foods may beconsidered as the substances which areavailable for the purposes of nutrition.When taken into the body, they pro-vide material for its growth, repair thewear and tear upon the tissues, produceheat to ke<*p the body warm, and energyboth for internal and external work.

"The body requirements may then bedivided into two groups. First, it re-q a ires a source of energy. Second, itneeds the other essentials of proper nu-trition which are proteins, minerals,vitamins, and roughage.

".Energy values are usually measuredin calories. A calory is the amountof heat required to raise the tempera-ture of one gram of water from 15degrees C to 16 degrees C. The energyused by the body is most economically•upplied by foods which are rich incarbohydrates. Bread, while it containsft certain amount of protein, fat, min-eral matters and vitamins is essentiallya starchy or carbohydrate food. Insuch a light only can its true valuebe determined, and its great contribu-tion to the economy of our diet be con-sidered.

"Energy is used mostly in four dif-ferent ways. First, energy is requiredto carry out the normal functions ofthe body when the person is at rest inft warm place. This is termed basalinotabolism. Second, energy is neededto maintain the body temperature in acold environment. Third, energy is re-quired for physical work. Fourth, agrowing child or an adult increasing inweight stores up a large quantity ofpotential energy in the form of fat orother body tissues.

Calorific Requirements."Professional women doing light phy-

sical tasks who are about 1601b weight,and wearing normal clothing in a temper-ature of approximately 60 degrees F.need between 2400-2700 calories r>erday. The average woman under similarconditions, and doing work of a likenature, can be maintained on 100-200less calories. If the temperature de-creases without any increase in protec-tion more calories of heat will be re-quired. Additional physical work willfurther increase the calorific need.

■ "Boughly 3 calories of heat are equi-valent to 1 calory of work, or in otherwords, the efficiency of the humanmaehlne is about 34 per cent. Mediumhard work calls for 3500 calories. Stillharder labour will take another 1000,and very hard work will* require up to8000 calories. Boys between 14 and 19,Vho are athletically inclined, will use•bout 5000 calories." The natural appetite is a fair index

of just what one should or should notcat. It is well-known that sweets takenbefore meals makes one relish that mealBiQch less. One never eats as much•fter Christmas Day until the body re-quirements are nftrmal again. Very fewpeople gauge their ingestion of food byglances into the mirror or by the useof scales to check up on body weight.On the contrary the average normal per-son eats until his innate instinct tellsblip >to stop. True there are many glar-ing exceptions to this doctrine, bytthen we are dealing only with rationaleasQs.

'There is a physiological basis for thestatement of the saturation point de-mand for food. Herbivorous animalsfatten in the summer, thereby storingnp potential energy to be used to heatthe body during the winter. Hibernat-ing animals likewise fatten in the sum-mer, in order to have a supply for theirlowered energy requirements during theperiod of fast. On the, other hand car-nivorous animals maintain a fairly uni-form body weight throughout the year.

"Many human adults vary in weightnut little from year to year. Sometend toward obesity. These may belikened to various classes of farm ani-mals which fatten more readily thancithers. Then again a large group offaults grow thinner with age. Foradults in general, the calorific re-quirements are more or lees constant,although there is a wide variation ofcomponents. That is to say some eatmore qr less meat, more or less cereals,more or less sugars, more or less vege-tables and fruit, etc.

Food Energy."Looking at food from purely theenergy viewpoint, one must consider

•everal factors before deciding which•ingle food or groups of food to use asa source of fuel. In the first place it®s necessary to know how much energya food will give. According to Hutchi-son, the heat liberated within the bodyby the following substances is:1 gram of protein

... 4100 calories1 gram of carbohydrates 4100 calories1 gram of fat ... 9300 calories

"Fat then as a source of energy is•bout 2i times better than either pro-teins or carbohydrates. However, theamount of fat which the normal per-tmn wMI take is limited not only bythe personal taste but also by the en-vironment. The Eskimo, who lives on}>ractically a pure meat diet, eats aarg® proportion of fat. The fat is

necessary to supply the extra heat re-quirements of the body.

"The keeping qualities of a food atsodetermine to a large extent its eco-nomio value. Protein foods are ratherperishable. Fats, likewise, are in-clined to deteriorate. For this reasonthe fatty gum of the wheat berry isremoved during the milling of wheat.

"Carbohydrates, such as starches andtugars, are stable and have good keep-ing qualities. White flour requires nospecial storage other than a dry,clean, vermin and insect-proof bin. Inthis state it will keep for at least twoyear* without any great degree of de-terioration. In fact it is well knownthat a certain amount of ageing im-proves white flour. Wholemeal ismuch more perishable and develops arancid taste and musty odour within afew months. This,- of course,-is due tothe chemical changes taking place inthe fat of the gefm.

The Economic Factor."Another important consideration is

the cost of the food. Since »ne poundof straight run flour will supply theheat equivalent of one and three-quarter pounds of a leg of mutton,oneVan realise the real economic valueef flour or of bread as a source ofenergy. According to 'Milling,' wheatnow ranks as one of the cheapest foods.

"The Food Research Institute ofStamford University finds that wheati» still the outstanding single staplefoodstuff. Per capita consumption ap-pears to be increasing in the world atlarge, but not in Great Britain,C*nad», Australia, Jsew Zealand, orthe United States, 11m article also

states that: 'To consume our wheat aswhole wheat bread instead of whitebread would make no essential contri-bution to the national health, andwould not be in the interest olnational econoniVj at least so long asthe present American diet continues toprevail. Protein, minerals, vitamins,and roughage are adequately availablein other foodstuffs and need not bosought in whole wheat bread. Nutri-tional security in the diet is rather tobe sought in "the milk supply; and per-haps more than an eighth of the mil *

su*"ily is secured from mill offals orwheat. Removal of the supply of milloffals, with attendant shifts of feedcrop production, scarcely appears ad-vantageous". Only in such countries asTndia and China', where the diet islittle diversified, are nutritional oreconomic advantages to be secured byconsuming whole wheat grains ratnerthan highly milled grains.'

Variety in roods.'"At this stago it may be well to stress

tho point that wheat and its by-products are not being considered asthe sole source of food. Rather we arelooking upon wheat as the c M® a Pe®

source of energy in a diversified diet.Neither wholemeal nor white flour wik

supplv entirely the requirements torgrowing humans. The calcium content,in either is far too low for our totaconsumption. Certain amino-aci »

necessary for the building up of anim

proteins are not adequate, ana, ac-cording to Hawk, president of the

Food Research Laboratories, NewYork, the anti-rachitic vitamin is

either lacking or present in insufficientquantities. . , •

"Two questions arise out or ■First, in which form shall a^ed—wholemeal or white flour.-' If whole-meal is used one gains m roughage, in

a slight though entirely inadequatesource of vitamins, minerals, and pro-tein. If white flour is used one gamsin energy value, gains greatly in keep-

ing quality and provides through thewheat offal fed to animals a source<V" protein, minerals, and vitaminsvastly superior in quantity anditv to those that are available bydirectly using this offal for humanconsumption. Moreover, thewaste pro-ducts l'rom these animals both on thefarm and in the freezing works sup-ply fertilisers which wil promote thegrowth of green vegetables and frii .

It is to these latter that we may lookfor our roughage.

Place of Bread in Diet."The next question is just what place

should bread hold in the diet lhisin turn depends upon the type of flouand the kind of dough formula usedby the bakers. The AustralianBaker' quoting

.

from the North-western Miller in 19-o, s y . ,

four years' experiments with brownbread as part of its rations the FrenchArmy recently decided to returnthe use of the white flour loaf. Thischange was made only after an exhaustive study, by a special commis-

sion appointed by the Ministers fWar. during which both the cost andfood value of the two kinds of breadwere carefully examined into. In summarising its finding, the commissiondeclared that the prevailmg ofwhit** flour among civilised people 3

founded upon the experience of mil-lions—a million times repeated. Ac-companying the change to the whiteloaf the daily ration is from260z to 230z: the white flour beingreckoned to contain one-sixth mornutritive qualities than wholemealflour.

yjtomiiis not Absent."The yeast that is used in bread pro-

duction is especially rich in vitaminB But the greatest food value of alladditives to flour incomes from the use of milk. Milk uespecially rich in calcium saltsand more than . makes upfor the deficiency in either white orwholemeal flour. Moreover, thvsugar called lactose helps m the as-similation by the body of these salts.It should also be borne in mma.'that a quart of milk contains more

nutriment, both of the t.ssue-fot-nnugand also energy-producing types > thandoes a pound of lean beafsteak. Noto£ly does milk add to the nutritivevalue of bread in every way, but alsoimproves the keeping qualities of thatbread.

White Ixjaf is Better.

''The use of malts and malt extractsand various cereal yeast foods ail ttoward giving a sweeter moreand better keeping loaf. The betteraeration in white bread is misleading

to gome people. Since the pureregulations state that bread mustsold by weight rather than by , volume,the extra air which one gets in wh'tebread is free air. The same unfortu-nately for the public, cannot be said ot

the extra 3 per cent, of water in whole-meal bread.

"Of course, after all, what one willeat is largely a matter of taste andfinances. If wholemeal bread suitsyour fancy and improves your sub-normal digestive system, by all means jeat it. But don't consume it merely

because you are told that, it is ®UP"I posed to be good. It is gjood, and if

one were on a restricted diet it wouldbe better than white bread.

"Fortunately we are civilised peoplewith a diet that is becoming morediversified every day. Nevertheless tliecost of our food is still a paramountquestion. Food is not so plentiful thatWe can afford ruthlessly to waste it.The wheat berry has for many genera-tions supplied the bulk of, if not themost important, at least the most per-sistent part of nutrition, namely, theheat and energy requirements of thebody. The master minds of sciencehave shown that the wheat berry ismost economically used when man eatsthe flour in the form of white breadand consumes the offal through the me-dium of animal products such as meat,milk, and oegs. The practical proofof their findings is that 95 per cent,of the wheat used directly for humanconsumption in the civilised world isin the form of white bread."

SHOPLIFTING.ARE TEMPTATIONS TOO

GREAT ?

MAGISTRATE'S VIEW.

(FEOM ova, OWf COaSESEOKDEKT.)

SYDNEY, May 23.The shoplifting evil is being dis-

cussed from a new angle in Mel-bourne, following a statement by amagistrate that he considers the temp-tations placed in the vray of the peopleby the modern departmental store toogreat. In effect, he blamed the shopsfor the increase in this class of crime.His remarks must liave been promptedby the manner in which the up-to-datestore displays its goods The tendencyis more and more to place the goodsin full view on countless small tables,instead of hiding them away in easesand on shelves and relying on windowdisplays. It was asserted by the magis-trate "that in other part* of the world,employment of officers in uniform towatch" the tables had a deterrent effect,and protected, not only the firm, butthe customers who had a tendency tosteal.

Speaking from long experience indealing with shoplifters, one managermaintained that the introduction of a

uniformed detective would have theopposite effect to that predicted by themagistrate. -j

"The professional trooJe said,•'would look out for suc-h an officer,and operate accordingly. He or she canbe caught only by someone whoseidentity is not suspected. Gangs oi

clever thieves operate in robbing

shops. One such woman who had beenconvicted and served a fortnight in gaolrame to me after her release and tried,by bribery, to ascertain thft n&mfc ofthe person who put her away. £heoffered £lO in the first instance, andkept on raising the amount untileventually I said: Gee! That is a lotof money to pay for a mere name.Her desire, I realised, ■was not to at-tempt reprisals on the informer, but toprotect the gang by enabling them tolook out for him on subsequentoccasions. Coteries of shop thievesnever use again one of their number

who lias been convicted. This par-ticular woman turned her attention toanother class of crime, for which sheis now serving a substantial sen-tence. ''

Magistrates, he continued, ought tosend the professional thief to gaolwithout the option of a fine, butv omen who surrender suddenly totemptation can always be liberatedunder bond. Hundreds of the lattercases never reach the police. My prac-tice has been to send for the husband,father, or other relative, and obtainan understanding that the culprit willbe under supervision Somts women aredeficient in reasoning powers. I knowof one who bought and paid for goodsto the value of £B, and then stolethree small articles to the total valueof Is. When asked why she had doneit, the woman was utterly unable tooffer an explanation. She had givenaway to a fit of impulse.

When caught in the act of stealing,professional thieves give the storeuntold trouble, creating a disturbanceby using offensive language, vrhile,however, taking care not to renderthemselves liable on that account.While being questioned in the officethey supply a wrong address, and itis only with the utmost difficulty thatthe, correct address is obtained. Suchcrooks, it is held, deserve no sympathy,and it i 3 certain t'iat their facilitiesfor stealing should iot be increasedby employing uniformed detectives.

The dam is the most famous amimost 0/ beaver

dertakings. It ia a vast atroeture ofsticks, stones, and roots, mud and sodslaid across a running stream to backup the water in order to ensure themdepth enough to protect them fromtheir enemies in summer, and precludeall danger of its freezing to the bot-tom in winter. The male beaver andhis wife decide on the stream theypropose to make into a pond. Theyselect a place where the bed of thestream is bard clay or gravel, neitherrock nor bog being desirable, and whenthey have found such a place theybegin to build. Their home is eithera den at the end of a burrow in a bankor stream, or a house or lodge. Thereare as a rule two entrances to thehome, always under water. The in-terior of the home is more or lessdome-shaped, with the floor a few ineheaabove the level of the water. Thesize of the chamber is variable, fromtwo to si* feet in diameter, and theheight from two to four feet.

Food and Clothing.The beaver has always supplied the

staple food and raiment to the Indiansof the Mackenzie river valley, as thebuffalo did to the prairie. It has beenestimated that the annual total num-ber of beaver skins brought out by theHudson's Bay Company and other furcompanies when the fur trade was atits height was iOO.OQO, and that otheragencies had brought an equal number.ko that the total annual death rate ofthe beaver at that time wa3 at least amillion. This was more than thenatural increase, and their numberssteadily decreased.

The existence of the beaver did moroto open up Canada than any other crea-ture or product. It was the pursuit ofthe beaver thnt hired on the early ex-plorers and that brought into Canadathe original coJonists. It was the beav-er fur that bought for the white manthe manufactures of Europe that werereeded to make life tolerable whenfirst he took to the woods. In presentdav life the variety of his uses is il-lustrated bv the fact that, two summersa rro, when "the giant Mount Baker wasablaze and 5.".009 a.-r-s of forest wereburn.-.! o-jt. al! the beaverdains werebroached bv the fire-fighters in an ef-fort to get the fire under control.

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.

| ??SC:.ILLT VraiTTES FOR THX T3XSS.

The month of June is without doubtthe best month for the important oper-ation of pruning. During the pastfew weeks we have dealt with the prun-ing of all bush fruits with the excep-tion of the loganberry. This is a ram-bling plant very similar to the black-berry, and bears its fruit on lateralshoots of the current season's growth.All shoots that have borne fruit this

[ year shojild be cut back to their basesBranches which are old and ill fur-nished with lateral branches of somelength and stoutness, should also l >acut back to a point at which one ucmore year-old branches spring iromthem. All year-old branches nnist beshortened more or less, according totheir strength, in order to induce theproduction of fruiting laterals in allparts of the plant. The shoots shouldthen be tied into position at, as nearas possible, equal distan>-es apart

When we come to the pruning oftrees which bear large fruit., the ques-tion that naturally arises in the mindof the amateur is why is it necessaryto prune the trees at all. There arethree main reasons: First, that thetree may be trained into the desiredform; second, that it shall producemore fruit: and third, that the lightand air shall gain admission to all partsof the tree, without which fruit budscould not be formed or the fruit ripen.When these three points are obser'feda good sample of fruit is obtained.

The first point, namely, the trainingof trees, is mainly one for the nursery-man, and the enthusiastic amateur whotrains trees from the maiden to thedesired form, of which there is a largeselection, and involves much care inthe selection of buds and branches*in order that the tree shall be sym-metrical in form and well balanced. Weare chiefly concerned this week withthe second and third reasons of prun-ing—namely the fruitfulness of thetree and the removal of such branchesas would obstruct the light and aiTfrom the centre of the tree.

The apple and pear produce theirfruit on shortened branches calledspurs. By judicious pruning it is pos-sible to increase the number of thesefruiting spurs, and thus increase thefruitfulness of the tree. It will benoticed that a number of small twiggygrowths are to be found growing later-ally on the branches, and unless theseare removed the centre of the tree willbe choked with weak growths the com-ing season Instead of removing thesegrowths entirely, they should be cutback to within two buds of their base,and some of the buds will become fruitbuds the second season. Shoots thusshortened and producing fruit-buds arecalled artificial, spurs. The leadingshoot, too, will require some shorten-ing back in order to remove the weakbuds usually found at the tips and toencourage the firmer buds further backto break evenly, and thus furnish thetree with .branches regularly placed..It will thus, be seen that the severeshortening of. all lateral branches isnecessary not only to encourage fruit-fuloess, but to -keep the centre of thetree open The shortening of the lead-ing shoot, too., enables us to continuethe training of the tree, which is byno means finished ■ when it leavesthe nursery. All the above remarksapply to comparatively young trees, andnot to older and fully-established speci-mens. These will require someattention at teast every otherseason, and the pruning in thiscase will consist in the entireremoval of such branches as tend tocross, also those that grow towardsthe centre of the tree, and would,if not removed, tend to exclude theair and light from the fruitingbranches.

The apricot is not a reliable fruitin cold districts; it blooms so earlythat both flowers and young fruit arevery liable to be destroyed by springfrosts unless the tree is planted in avery sheltered position. The fruit isborne on spurs on the older branches,and also on well ripened young shoots.Established trees should be well furn-ished with fruiting spurs. In orderto have this furnishing it is necessaryto cut lateral shoots, which springfrom the older branches, back to two orthree buds from the base of eachshoot. All weak annual shoots shouldbe cut back to their base. Old brancheswhich are ill-furnished with fruitspurs or young shoots should be cutback to the points at which the barren-ness of these begins.

Until cherry trees are formed theyshould be pruned much in the line ofother fruit trees, both at summer andwinter pruning; but after they havereached maturity little pruning willbe necessary other than removingbranches which are exhausted, crossed,or crowded. The tendency of thecherry to produce fruit spurs freelywill be found to act as a naturalcheck on the over-production of wood.Pruning should be done some timeabout New Year, as at that seasongum is not as liable to exude from thewounds as when pruning is done in

winter or spring. The Morello. orcooking cherry, has a rather weakgrowth, but is very hardy. Unlike thesweet cherries, it does not bear muchon spurs, but chiefly on wood madethe previous season. The pruning c® n *

sists of cutting out wood which hasfruited, and thinning out misplacedyoung growths.

The plum bears its fruit chiefly onspurs produced on the older branches.The production of these is fostered bycutting all lateral shoots, except thosethat are needed to fill up blanks mthe structure of the tree, back to twoor three buds of their bases. inoseleft to fill blanks and extend thebuilding up of the tree should beshortened by cutting off their pointsbv a bud placed in well-matured wood.The fruiting spurs on old tree?be prevented from being overcrowdedby occasional pruning out in winter,all dead spurs—of which there aresometimes a great many—must be re-moved at the same time.

The peach and nectarine bear then-best fruit chieflv on oiie-year-uldshoots, though thev bear it also on

spurs situated on the older branches.The fruit buds are plump and round-ish in form, and are usually set in

pairs on the joints, with a narrowsharp-pointed wood-bud set betweeneach pair at the same joint in prun-ing the chief object should be to havethe tree furnished in all its parts withvoung shoots. This especially"to trees on walls or fences. This is

best managed by summer pruning,which is the best time. Select well-shaped shoots and a sufficient numberof them to furnish the tree all over.The best time to prune the peach andnectarine when they are denuded offoliage is in spring. At that time itis needful to cut out all older brancheswhich are not furnished with youngshoots or spurs; thev are practicallybarren. The year-old shoots can thenbe shortened back to a joint, whereprominent wood-bud is situated onwell-ripeped wood.

.If this is not done

the branches become bare in time andthe tree straggly.

FROM CANBERRA.

IMPORTANT CABINETMEETINGS.

FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.

?K3l£ ova STECIiI. SZrRESEXTATITT.;

CANBERRA, May 4.This ba.s a busy week for Cabi-

net. Faced with an agenda said to l>ethe L>nt;cst prepared since the removalof the Federal Parliament to Canberra,the Cabinet mot on Tuesday morning,Kiid it has Ltcii sitting almost continu-ously ever since.

Various sub-comniitteos have beengoing into a number of important mat-ters. and their conclusions have beenplaced before the full Cabinet. ThePrime Minister. Mr Bruce, 13 a greatbeliever in the committee system. Hesays it savL-s time to have matters firstthrashed out in this way.

The financial situation has been re-ceiving special attention. There hasbeen a drop of no less a sum than£1,947,000 in the Customs and l\>stOffice revenue for the ten months ofthe financial year up to April 30th.Hie estimate from' Customs for thisperiod was £3(j,*)53,000. and the re-ceipts fe!! short to the extent of£1,631.000. It looks as if the Treasurer(Dr. Earle Page) will be faced with adeficit of over £2,000,(XX). The posi-tion is certainlv far from healthy.

Two deficits two years running; will not help to advance the prestigeof the Government. The public willnaturally want to know what is wrongwith the Estimates—how it comes thatthe Treasurer is unable to get a littlenearer the mark than he does. It willbe remembered that on the last occa-sion he caused some surprise by leavingthe deficit "in suspense," in the beliefthat better times were ahead, and thatthere was no need for pessimism. Therewas no suggestion of making ends meetby increasing taxation (for which, ofcourse, the already heavily burdenedtaxpayer was thankful), but neitherwas there any suggestion of cuttingdown expenditure. In fact, the Trea-surer, rather naively, asked his criticsto "'show him where it could be cutdown." It is quite clear, however,that, if the revenue does not improve,there must either be increased taxationor some way must be found of keepingthe expenditure down.

Unfortunately, despite the instruc-tions that have been issued to Depart-mental heads, to use the pruning-knifein preparing their estimates for thecoming year, and to use it ruthlessly,the expenditure shows a tendency toincrease instead of decrease. The in-crease in the Federal basic wage, forinstance, means that some hundredsof thousands of pounds will be eatenup in this way

In the meantime, Dr. Page is invit-ing holders in the war gratuity loan of£'2,790.000, which matures on May31st, to convert into the new loan,bi-.iring interest at 5k per cent, for aperiod of ten years.

Another Suspension.Coming on top of the recent Shep-

herd enquiry, the suspension of -VirW. C. Harvey, a senior official of theTreasury, has created consternation inFederal official circles.

Mr M. L. Shepherd is Secretary ofthe Defence Department, and when theLarkin charges were brought againsthim'the Minister, Senator Sir William.Glasgow, suspended him from duty,stating that he had no option—when aserious charge is made against a publicofficer he must be suspended until suchtime as the matter is enquired intoand reported upon. Mr Shepherd,who is highly esteemed by his tellow-officers in the service, was completelyexonerated, but for several weeks hewas "under-a cloud." It is contendedthat this sort of thing is not onlyunjust to officers of high standing, butthat it tends to create in the publicmind a suspicion that all is not wellin the administration of our FederalDepartments, and once that idea getsabroad nothing but disorganisation

and chaos will result. There is no pro-vision for compensating au officer whois the subject of unjust charges andis Suspended—he has to suffer thehumiliation as best he can

So far, it is not known what thecharge against Mr Harvey is, but hissuspension has followed on a reportby the Secretary to the Treasury, MrJ. T. Heathershaw. Mr Harvey is cus-todian of Expropriated property, andformerly occupied the position of ac-countant at Australia House in Lon-don. Under the Public Service Act hemust reply forthwith to the charge,and if the permanent head considersthe charge sustained he may impose apenalty or recommend dismissal.

Like Mr Shepherd, Mr Harvey sayshe has a complete answer to thecharge made against him.

Air Travel In Australia.The testing, this week, of the first

of the four Hercules biplanes for theEast-West service represents the inaug-uration of air travel in Australia ona scale phat has not hitherto beenattempted, though it is now commonenough in other partß of the world.Twenty-one persons can be accommo-dated in these machines, which have awing span

# of 79ft Gin, and thev willtravel luxuriously in comfortablewicker chairs or deck chairs. Safetyglass windows will allow the passengersto get a full view of the scenery, andthey can sit back and read by electriclight at night.

The journey from Perth to Adelaidewill occupy two days, the stop-overbeing made at Forrest, one of thesmall settlements on the trans-Contin-ental railway. According to a Federalrailway official who was recently in Can-berra, the new air serviee is likely tonave a somewhat serious effect uponthe railway, both on aecount of itsnovelty and the saving of time on thetbr^€L j th e trip takesthree and a half days. Moreover airpassengers will escape the dust which

is such an unpleasant feature of thewTS;SntlIVLntal '!ne - The biplanes

. . carry the mails, and the savingof time m this connexion will be a boonto business people. For this serviee thefederal Government is paying a verysubstantial subsidy.The Government, indeed, is adoptinga policy of encouragement to civil avi-ation in' all parts of Australia, and it

°?.™ore enthusiastic supporter thanbir William Glasgow, the Minister for-Defence. Important new air servicesare projected in Queensland, where theQ.A.N.T.A.S. ma-hines have put up awonderful record. Part of the newscheme is to secure ar improved land-ing ground at Roeklea, near Brisbane."In a country of such vast distancesas Queensland and the Northern Terri-tory," said General Glasgow to thewriter, "air navigation is destined toplay a most important part. With theadvance of aerial communication the oldisolation will soon disappear. For morereasons than one we want to see thisadvance. It means, for one thing, thetraining of pilots who will be at thecommand of the nation should an emer-gency arise at any time calling for tbeirservices.

Mr Abbott's Long Trip.| Early next month Mr C. L. A. Ab-bott, Minister for Home Affairs, willembark on a 4000 mile flight by nero-plane from Canberra to North and Cen-tral Australia and back. Other Minis-ters have been "in the air," but noneattempted anything to compare with t eflight that Mr Abbott is to make. «

is likely that the "Canberra, .fT.Captain Les. Holden in charge, will oechartered for the purpose. tfce

There has been some crxt dMinister's propos»l on the SP°

it is impossible to 'see the country fromthe air—impossible, that is, to form afair opinion of it and its problems—-but Mr Abbott is not quite as foolishas his critics would make out. it is hisintention to make a number of landings,and then proceed by car on a detailedinspection of the country. He alreadyhas a very good grasp of the specialproblems that settlers in the far Northand in Central Australia are faced with.It January last he had a conferencewith the Northern Territory pastorallessees at Canberra, and the pastoral-ists from those wide-flung spaces leftthe capita] with a feeling that they hadmet a Minister who thoroughly under-stood their problems and would striveto solve some of them, if he could notsolve them all. In June he will meetthem again to disco3s plans for the fu-ture development of the North—plansthat have been forming in his mindsince he talked with them in Canberra.It may be regarded as a "return visit.'*

Mr Abbott comes of a famous UpperHunter family, and what he does notknow about land matters is hardlyworth knowing. Perhaps that is why MrBruce asked him to take over the ad-ministration of the Home Affairs De-partment, which has to deal with Northand Central Australia. If anyone canfind a solution of the problems of thoseterritories Mr Abbott ought to be theman. He has only been in Parliamenta little over three years, and he hasa great opportunity before him. As aCabinet Minister he has shown himselfearnest and diligent, with a full senseof the responsibility and importance ofhis work. The development of the terri-tories is paramount in his mind, and heis aiming at a definite goal. He hascourage, and he has vision. These quali-ties should help him.

Home should be a place of happy lauglWhy endure those periods of-family depression?

HOME should be a place of merrimentand healthy banter. Yet often, it be-

comes oppressed through one of the familylceling "out-of-sorts." Trifles cause unreason-ing irritability and the music of happy voicesis jangled. There may be seeming reasons—business adversities, family trouble, andsuch—but these can be met with courageand good humour if steps be taken tocounteract the detrimental effects arisingfrom such adverse circumstances.

Study the causeScience reveals the way to do this. Thehuman body, like an intricate machine, issubject to wear and tear. Every movement,even every thought, uses up a certainamount of tissue, "while worry of any kindis especially destructive. To repair sucliwastage, oxygen is essential.Taken into the lungs with every breath itis distributed through the body by meansof the blood—so long as the red corpusclestherein function properly... But they can doso only while they have a definite amount

ever-decreasing power, both nervous andphysical, with its sequence of irritability,nerviness, weariness, headaches, and, even-tually, a complete breakdown.

Apply the remedyThe first necessity is an adequate supply ofiron, and the approved medical method toprovide this is a tonic which, among otherthings, contains this mineral. At the sametime, a'dditional nourishment should begiven to the nerve cells, while the appetiteand digestive processes should be invigor-ated. For these various duties ClementsTonic is a perfectly balanced compound. Be-ing rich in iron, and made to a recognisedmedical formula, it is of the greatest valuefor counteracting the ill-effects of over-work,domestic worries, business stress, lack offresh air or exercise, a too-arduous socialround, or for remedying the after effects ofinfluenza or other illnesses.Being essentially a tonic instead of a merestimulant, it does permanent service, andbecause it contains neither opiates nor alco-' it can be taken with perfect safety by

all members of the family,including the children.

BAPTIST UNION.CANTERBURY AUXILIARY.

annual meeting

Tlie annual meeting of tile Canter-bury Auxiliary of the Baptist "Unionof New Zealand was held yesterday iuthe Spreydon Baptist Church, Lincolnroad. The Rev. J. Robertson, presi-

dent of the Auxiliary( was in the chair.'There were 50 delegates present, rejv

resenting 14 churches.Committee's Report,

The executive committee reported asfollows we cannot report pro-gress of a kmd, thechurches have been carefully tended,and no appeal foi help has been disiegarded. The churches aw in

state, and any perplexing difficultiesare of feucli a character as disappear before a congregational policyof consecrated service. There w tftecontinual necessity ofchurches to a more earnest programmeof self help, . The executive has speptconsiderable time discussihg the poSsibilities of extension work, but while theCitv is growing rapidly, atthere is no urgent appeal from t es.dentain suburban districts for tha establish-ment of new causes. It is obvious thatanv forward movement, either pf con-sol'idation of expansion, is mtlttiateij

associated with the raising of a specialfund, but the finance committee Ms not

I been able to finalise any constructivescheme. The sub-committees of theexecutive .have not functioned pfogres- ;sively and the finance committee haslaboured under the difficulty of obtain-ing a full attendance. The missionary

committee has done careful planningfor deputation work in Sunday sohoolfe.Five of the churches. Opawa, LinwoOtl.Kaiapoi, Rangiora, and St. Albafls atein receiot of grants from the Uniontotalling £265. The executive urgesthese churches to scrutinise carefullytheif finance with a view to annualreduction of the amount. In conclu-sion we dtsire to praise God for thesteady witness of our churches through*out another year. We rej&ice with thechurch at Oxford in the completion ofthe manse, and with Opawa in thegreater usefulness of the enlarged sanc-tuary. Colombo street is Workingstrenuously towards the erection of anew church; Linwood plans to raise£2OO to liquidate the debt on the pro-perty, and other churches are planningnew activities.

The financial statement showed re-ceipts £2Bj Is lid and expenditure£284 4s Bd. leaving a credit balancd »>

16s 3d. The forward work accountshowed £l2 ißs 4d in hand.

The annual report of the foreignmissionary committee, presented by theRev. J. Takle, stated that the mis-sionary demonstrations had been ofeducational value. The committee hadbeen asked to present a similar de-monstration this rear, but it was foundimpossible to carry it out. Each churchconnected with the Auxiliary had beenasked to elect a special committeewhich would attend to the proper func-tioning of missionary interests.

Reports were received from thevarious church departments and altera Short discussion it was decided thatsome more expeditious means of pre-senting the renorts should be devised.

stating that if the occasion was.in*tended for harsh sayings about peopleof other faiths, then he not beable to idehtxfy himself with it. Thegathering, of course, was not for tha,

purpose. It Was good for the 60said, td glance back at the Reformationperiod. Luther bec-ame the hot poifatof hi# century, afid the battle still ragedround his name, There were parts ofSouth America which still practisedmedieval fortos of feligion—ill greatcontrast with the enlightened form ofChristianity of to-day. In Peru, forinstance, the old Gods Of the Incas—-the BUfi and the moon hnd the light-ning*—were curiously bound up withChristianity, the speaker went on todeal With the Grace of W'd and tttoensuing peace of conscience which wasgiven to those who were of the Chris*tian belief. A right Christianity, hesaid, could not be independent of theScriptures, and it was interesting andgratifying to know that tiow the Scrip-tures were being widely circulated InBuenos AyfeS. Each man and wojnaiihad a right to approach God directly,for the New Testament knew nothingof the laity.

MAGNETIC NORTH.

PUZZLING VARIATIONS.

an unsolved problem.

(nou OT3B otf# COSHBSfOSBBX*.)VANCOUVER, May 1.

A radio message indicates that Major

Burwash, Canadian explorer, is now m

the vicinity of the spot where Sir John

Franklin disappeared. Major Enfwas

is spending the winter on BoothiaPeSl»,ib«t. hotr. d„w

a series of tests in an e««t to solvethe vagaries of the magnetic Pole. He

Is associated with tho *°* th*.eßntofies branch of the Federal Gevern-

ment. Details of his observations arebeing transmitted to Ottawa bylees from the steamer Fort James, whichis wintering at Boothia.

The magnetic compass has long beenrecognised as inaccurate on account of

the wandering propensitiesaetic Pole. During the last few yeius,mariners and aviators have turned tomore modern devlcei, such as the gyscopic, sun and radio compasses, butthe magnetic compass is still widely

the recognised variation fromtrue north from coast to coast m

Canada which the magnetic compassehows, there is a further range of errorfrom the fact that the magnetic Polemoves each year approximately two-thirds of a mile. For several years itmarches to tho west, then turns backand marches east again. Thus, at iortChurchill, on Httd6on Bay, the needlepointed 24 degrees west a or™ "

1700, 1 degrc west in 1800, anddegrees West in 1900.

The March of the Heedle.A knowledge of this march of the

needle is of great practical value, for

true direction of needle and tebles dat-

ing the march of the needle, or howit changes its direction from yeyear.

Magnetic and Trn« Hortti.While the reason for the needle point-

ing in different directions at each placeis kndwn to be due to thePoles not coinciding with the geographical Poles, the reason for the

needle changing direction from yearto year has never received a satisfac-tory explanation. For many years, themost popular theory was that suchchanges in the needle direction werecaused by the magnetic Poles mftrcb-ing around the geographical Poles, andsuch eminent physicists as Lord Kel-vin and others computed that it tookthe magnetic Poles 1000 years to per-form a complete march or journeyaround the geographical Poles. Butthis theory had to be abandoned niterCaptain Attjttßdsefl found the Northmagnetic Pole in 1903-5 to be within50 miles of the place where it was firstdiscovered by (Sir James Boss in 1831.In other words, the march of the Mag-netic Poles was then seen to be alto-gether too small to explain the yearlychange in direction of the compassneedle.

Recent researches of the Gedgraphi«alSurvey Department indicate that theyearly change in direction is due to theaction of magnetic forces within theearth. It has been felt that additionalmagnetic data in the Far North, especi-ally in regard to the march of the NorthMagnetic Pole Would afford additionalinformation in this intricate question.However, a special expedition for thAtsole purpose would have been estpen*sive.

SPY ROMANCE.

"THE MYSTERIOUS LADY."

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE-.

A full house 'was recorded at each ses-

sion at Everybody' e Theatre yesterday,where the principal attraction wa s ''The

Mysterious Lad;-. '

Niblo, the man who rs.ade Ben Har, the

present film tells a story o£ a

beautiful Russian spy. whose doty it n: to

secure if possible, certain valuable mmtar..documents

Pfrom a young Austr.au ofccer

She uses her attractions to such purposethat when the Austrian comes to nsmself <tis to learn that her professions of love havebeen a pretence in order tjat possesion

-might be obtained o£ his dispatcher, Th_

inevitable happens; the young man ismarti3ile<i and sentenced to prison. Hisheart filled with thoughts of vengeance he

manages to escape from Austria and ma»eshis way to Russia disguised as a musician.The woman who has caused his disgrace is

met; she discovers that she loves _ lum andthe position is the more complicated byreason of the fact that the Chief of theRussian Secret Service loves her. TheChief, however, is got rid of by theby tho simple expedient of killing him at abiff social function, and the two lovers thenescape over the Austrian border It is a grip-ping drama of the days when nations foughteach other under the guise of friendliness,using beautiful women and suave, fearlessmen as their weapons. It is a war ofwits. The actors meet in the gayest cafesof Europe to obtain by subterfuge of every

sort from plain deceit to theft and murderthe military secrets each guarded so ciosely.The talent and alluring beauty of GrataGarbo have never been better displa3'ed thanin the role o£ Tania. Beautiful and harm-less on the surface, the spy is intriguingand aflame with drama underneath, and MissGarbo respond: with equal facility to bothdemands. Conrad Nagel combines dash andromance with intense feeling in the characterof the betrayed cavalry officer, and Gustavvon Seyffertitz, Edward Connelly, AlbertPollet, and Richard Alexander all acquitthemselves with distinction in. the colourfulromance.

Jack Mulhall and Alice White are thestar 3 in the supporting film, a snappy com-edy, entitled "Naughty Baby," and thereis also an episode of the popular serial, "TheCollegians." Under Mr Albert Bidgood,the Select Orchestra plays the following pro-gramme:—Overture, "Musical Switch"(Alford) ; symphony, "No. 5" (Beethoven);suites, "Pittoresque" (Massanet), "Trag-ique" (Rosse), "La Roi S'Amuse" (De-libes) ; selections, "Parsifal" (Wagner),"Volga Echoes" (Tobani), "Toto" (Mor-gan); "Princess Jaune" (Saint-Saens) ;"Thamara" (Karganoff) ; fox,-tro& "Vir-ginia" (Henderson); entr-acte, "On Wia-*sof Song" (Mendelssohn).

"RILEY THE COP."

AMERICA GIVES EUROPE ALOOK OVER.

| AT THE LIBERTY."Riley the Cop" is the Liberty's piece de

j resistance this week—the story of an Ameri-can policeman who reached America viaTipperary and "Ould Ireland." He mustbe the only policeman in America who livedin the force twenty years without making anarrest. He is the darling of the New Yorkcity urchins, and seems to have adopted allthe children on his beat as his special care.He is sent to Europe to arrest and bring backone of his special proteges who has gone toGermany in search of his fiancee. Onewould prefer to think that the attitude ofthe American policemen to Europe was nottypical of his Countrymen. Probably, it isnot. He gazes at Europe with the childishwonder of a small boy who is taken forthe first time to see the zoo. He gets drunk.In the pictures all Americans get drunk out-side the twelve mile limit. And he fallsin love with a German fraulein, whom hebrings back to New York as Mrs Riley, onlyto find that she is the sister of his particu-lar bete noire, Constable Krausmeyer. Hisprisoner also is released and together withhis friend the constable marches down thealtar steps to a life of bourgeois happiness.

The second feature, "Paradise," drawsita plot from Philip Gibbs's book "The Cross-

I word Puzzle." It is a thoroughly moral storyj of a nauglitly girl who tvoul4 take thelover God obviously made for her, but wentoff to the Riviera and Monte Carlo to seelige. Monte Carlo is made to be aterribly sinful place, fully of ugly dowagersand dangerous men. She falls in love, orthinks she does, with a professional dancer'who turns out to be a jewel robber. It is allvery proper and sensational. British pictureswould gain in value if they broke free fromthe tradition of Hollywood.

A well-chosen repertoire of classical endpopular numbers was played by the ConcertOrchestra under the baton of Mr ErnestJamieson. The entr'acte, whcih was beautifullyplayed, was "Aloha-Oe," and had to be re-peated in response to an emphatic encore.Other numbers included "Eroica Symphony(Beethoven), "Florodora" (Stuart), ",LadyBetty" (Oliver), "Still as The Night'(Bohm), and "All By Yourself in the Moon-light" (Wallis).

"CIRCUS ROOKIES."

A DANE-ARTHUR COMEDY.

GRAND THEATRE.■Whether it is their ill-assorted appear-

ance, or whether it is their amaiing andoriginal antics that get the most laughs,it is hard to soy, but one thing is certain,and that is that K3rl Dane and George K.Arthur have reduced comedy to a fino art.This inimitable pair leaped to fame aslaugh-makers supreme in "Rookies," but in"Circus Rookies" they have eclipsed any-thing they have previously done. "Circus

Rookies" is presented at the GrandTheatre this week, in conjunction with "TheWedding Song," featuring Leatrice Joy, anda big list of comedy supports.

Life in a circus lends itself admirably tothe production of hilarious comedy situations,and Karl Dane and Geo. K. Arthur, the lead-ing "rookies," keep the audience smilingwith their droll humour and thrilling trapezework. Right from the commencement thefun' starts, when Karl Dane, as Oscar Thrush,gets a job in a circus as keeper of a gorilla,and eventually joins in a turn with theanimal. George Arthur plays the role of areporter, who, sent to interview the leadinglady of the circus, falls in love with her andtakes a position as trapeze artist in thecircus. The climax comes when the newtrapeze artist fights the gorilla on a runawayrailway train and narrowly averts a seriousdisaster.

STRAND THEATRE.

«A SISTER TO ASSIST »ER."

'A Sister to Assist 'Er," featuring MaryBrough, heads the bill at the Strand Theatrethis week. This is an entirely new produc-tion of the famous music-hall sketch whichwae played continuously for eleven yearswith such conspicuous success. It was oneof the most attractive "top-liners" on themusic halls and its popularity was indicatedin the number of catch phrases the publicborrowed from its dialogue and which stillpersist. Mary Brough and Pollie Emeryboth played in the production with great suc-cess, Mary Brough as the central character,"Mrs May." especially winning the praise ofthe Press The film ■ has - this advantage,that whereas it incorporates the whole ofMm May's adventures as depicted in thesketch, it also introduces other adventuresfrom the original "Mrs May" stories writtenby Mr John le Breton. Furthermore thenew version is infinitely funnier. The humourof the play has made an irresistible appeal tomillions.

"Don't Marr-," starring Lois Moraa andNeil Hamilton, comedies, sporting andtopical films, complete a programme of excep-tional interest.

"CLEAR THE DECKS."

A REGINALD DENNY COMEDY.

CVRYSTAL PALACE. THIS WEEK.

The announcement that Reginald Denny

is to star in a film coming to Christchnrciialways causes a stir among those -who appre-

ciate really good humorous acting. Lastevening-, at the Crystal Palace Theatre, his

latest production, "Clear the Decks." vassTe=ned 'or the first time, and a crowdedhoVo thoroughly enjoyed its presentation.

The «torv told in the film is, as mignthe excected". extremely humorous, and is in-terwoven with many startling adventures and& deep, interesting plot. In a restaurant,Denny falls in love with on extremely attrac-tive g'rl. who mentions the fact to a com-panion that she is going for a sea voyage.Tho youug man forgets the name of th»vessel* but determines to sail aboard theship with her, and so is involved in manyhumorous adventures whilst endeavouringto discover it. From then onward Denny'sadventures are many, varied, and exciting.A male nurse mistakes him for a nerve-prostrated patient who roust be watchedcarefully, and fed on goats' milk exclus-ively.

"

His life is one whirl of sensa-tions, in which jewel thieves and an officerwho is in league with them, play an ex-citing part. The passengers will not be-lieve that Denny is not the lunatic, althoughtho gang suspect him of beiog an interna-tional detective. A diet of goats' millc andcastor oil does not improve his temper, andto make matters worse, the girl of hisdreams catches him in the goats' pen, wherehe has gone to try, per medium of a cab-bage, to entico the goat to make a leapingcharge into the sea. However, towards theend of the story the girl becomes intenselyinterested in him, and the end is happy.The stars are supported by an admirablecast, and the sea scenes are very well done.

A very commendable extra is that givenby a ballet called "The Nautical Frolics."They present several delightful dances andpretty ensembles.

There is a splendid programme of supports,and, as usual, the orchestra under the batonof Mr Alfred Bunz plays an enjoyablemusical programme.

With its unrivalled warmth of humanfeeling, "The Woman Disputed" providesNorma Talmadge with the greatest andmost eminently suitable vehicle of her screencareer, Pioduced on brilliant Hnee, thisfihu may well take its place with the reallygreat classics of the screen. Mr GladstoneHill presents this superb picture at theMuncipal Theatre this week, and at a pri-vate screening during the week-end and atthe opening performance yesterday it re-cived a. .wonderful reception. The love oftwo fine men for a true and faithful girl,£.et amid an atmosphere of internationalintrigue and blood-red war—it is a livingpage from the book of life, and in itsintensely dramatic and emotional interest itrisea above and beyond the mere materialthings of the screen and veritably lives.Norma Talmadge gives a wonderful interpre-tation of her title part, iniusing a wealthof pathos into her role, relieved at timesby little cameo-reliefs of gentle humour.Gilbert Roland and Arnold Kent play theleading male roles and are responsible forsplendid conflicting and contrasting characterstudies.

The story opens in the littlfi old-worldAustrian town, Lemberg, where Mary AnnWagner 13 leading the life of a social out-cast. Accused of the murder of a man whoshoots himself in her lodgings, she is savedfrom the ordeal of the Courts by the chivalryof two young men, Paul von Hartman,lieutenant in the Austrian army, and NikaTurgenov, a ataff-omcer in the liussian army.Through these two men—lifelong friends—

the girl is rehabilitated and becomes verydear to the hearts of both of them. Butmeanwhile the dark clouds of war arespreading over the horizon, and in thoseterrible days of 1914 Paul and Nika findthemselves called for service in opposingarmies. Mary Ann pledges her love to hercompatriot, Paul von Hartman, and in apathetic and intensely dramatic scene, Nikaaccuses his friend of acting behind his back.It is a moving and heartrending incident.Mary Ann finds that she is the causeof the severing of the lifelong friendshipof the two men, for whom she has thegreatest affection in the world. No longerfriends, alas! Paul and Nika part, withtha bitter wordl on Nika'e togue: "Thisis your hour, Paul; mine will come whenthe Russian army marches intoHow this terrible prophecy is fulfilled is thebasis of a plot redolent of tragedy andpathos; behind it all the pathetic and wist-ful figure of Mary Ann. The fortunesof war bring Nika, at the head of atriumphant army, sacking and destroyingLeraberg, in a search for a famous Austrianspy, Liebert, whose intelligence has beenresponsible for severe loss to the Russians.Nika, now cruel and relentless, eits in judg-ment over a number of Austrian citizenscaught escaping from the beleagured city,for which offence the penalty ia death.Among these is Mary Anr? and FatherRoche, a. priest. Nika conceives the ter-rible idea of gaining his heart's desire,Mary Ann, by the power he is now able tocommand, and he offers her the alternativeof the firing party. She would rather acceptthis alternative than break her faith withPaul, but that Father Roche, pledging herto secrecy, reveals himself as Liebert, andthat unless she delivers her eoul to Nika,Liebert with the others will die, robbinghis country of a vast fund of invaluableinformation. What tragedy lies behind thatdilemma of the poor girl! She acceptsNika's terms and Liebert ultimately reachesthe Austrian lines with information enabling his countrymen to recapture the town.Two magnificently-produced scenes bringthe drama to its logical conclusion—the re-conciliation oi Mary Ann and Paul. Thefirst ia where Paul, at the head of thestorming party, finds Mary Ann kneeling mthe church As the two kneel togetherbefore the altar, Nika, mortally wounded,etaggers into the church, and seeing his oldfriends bursts into fits of maniacal laughter—for he has had "his hour." Paul, believ-ing Mary Ann to have been unfaithful, andshe, unablo to reveal the reason for herbetrothal to Nika because of her vow toLiebert, part once again. A wonderfulclimax sees Mary Ann Wagner hailed as anational heroine when Liebert reveals thetrue story of her tragic self-sacrifice, andthe picture concludes with Paul—a saddenedand ec-lf-reproachful man—kneeli:»g with therest of the war-scarred soldiers at the feetof Mary Ann.

The supporting bill includes a Pathegazette, topical, and a Sunkist comedy.Under the baton of Mr Arth.ir Lilly,the De Luxe Orchestra plays an excellentprogramme, including a musical interludefrom "Lucia di Lammermoor" (Donizetti).

NEW OPERA HOUSE.

GEORGE WALLACE IN " MOON-BEAMS."

SPARKLING VAUDEVILLE AND REVUE.The "House Full" sign gets quite a. lot

o< use at the New Opera House in thesedays. Since George Wallace and his clevercompany opened their return season, fullhouses have been registered every evening,

and it would seem not improbable that thephenomenal success of the company's Auck-land season will be repeated here.

For his third change of programme, theopening performances of which were givenyesterday afternoon and evening, the genialcomedian has selected a well-balanced andsparkling range of vaudeville numbers, oc-cupying the first half of the programme,followed by a really first-class musicalcomedy revue, "Moonbeama. 1' The vaudevilleportion of the programme comprises "turns 'which should find tull favour with all classesof vaudeville lovers.

The opening Scene is particularly effective,a real holiday atmosphere being created bythe company. bright choruses aresung by the company, including "By theSea" and "All Abo?rd," both written byGeorge Wallace. Tup Dudley, Maida Jones,Jack Scott, and the ballet present "TuneUp Your Toes," and George Wallace makesmerry in two uproarious songs, "The Partyat Donovan's" and "I've Got a Mamnly.'Marshall Crosby is in good form, -nd useshis rich baritone voice to excellent advan-

! tage in the popular nautical song, 'CaptainMac." Mr Crosby also makes ui excellentsupport for George Wallace, and much ofthe success of the show as a whole is un-doubtedly due to their combined efforts. TheDudley Duo present this week a furthereong-and-dance "turn," which has much tocommend it. Their work is clean and theirwit is alwavs marked by originality. NevaCarr-Glyn and the ballet are heard, andBeen, to much advantage in a popular song"Lit'" and dance spec-ality, after which the"Flaming Youths" again demonstrate theirright to be classed aa one of the best jazzbands yet heard in Christchurch. Theirofferings this week are many and varied,ranging from light topical "hits" to the morepopular of the classics. Included in theirnumbers this week are "That's My Weak-ness Now," "Down South," and the ever-popular "Musical Switch." Miff Myers con-tributes two excellent trombone solos, thearia "Vesti la Giubba/* from "Pagliaccu iand "Rose 3 of Picardy."

"Moonbeams," the musical comedy whicnoccupies the seoond half of the programme,is full of life and action, and many arethe comical situations which occur as thestory ia unfolded. In brief, the story is

of an eccentric professor who decides tovoyage to the moon in an airship of his ownconstruction. How the trip is unexpectedlystarted when the company is inspecting tueairship creates a most comical situation,with plenty of laughs following when thenarty arrives—not on the moon but on thestage of an American theatre. The ecfnicand lighting effects are decidedly better thanis usual in this class of production, andthe frocking leaves nothing to be a eßlJ'®?;A feature of "Moonbeams is the airship

scene, "A TriD to the Moon. .This is

a cleverly handled bit of stagecraft and is

most effective, the airship being seen m itsflight through the skies. .

The ballets this week aro all highly attract-ive and the orchestra, as usual, merits, aword of praise for its valuable support to th

,r" 's.rrfn; ehtly this week, and there will be theusual matinee on Saturday.

The election of officers resulted as fol-lows:—President, Rev. Mr Monaghan;secretary, Miss C. R. Ashton.It was decided to hold the next annual

conference on June 3rd, 1930.The chairman referring to Sunday

school finance, said the schools alwaysshowed a credit balance. This was nodoubt due to the fact that they wererun so economically. However, hethought that the' principle of throwingmission collections on the Sundayschools was not altogether fair to theschools. Th£ time had come when theyshould consider the question of havinga resident Sunday school adviser inSouth Canterbury. He thought theycould well consider applying to theDiocesan Educational Committee for aSunday school organiser to be stationedin ycnth Canterbury. In Timaru theywould be prepared to contribute £SO ayear towards the stipend of such anorganiser.

A short discusion followed, but noaction was taken in the matter.

MINISTER FAVOURS EXTENSION.

[THE PBBSB Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, June 3.Disagreement with the views expressed

by the Loyal Orange Lodge at itsrecent Conference in Wellington hasbeen recorded by the Hon. Mr Atmore,Minister for Education. The Ministerwas recently advised by the Lodge thata resolution had heen passed affirmingthe principle of State education as atpresent conducted, and objecting to anyextension of privileges to privateschools.

in a reply noting the purport of theresolution the Minister, according to astatement in Auckland to-day, has mad"the point clear that he is not in accordwith the view that an extension of thedentai clinic system should not be madeto denominational schools. It was notreasonable to expect the parents of chil-dren attending ether than State schoolsto be debarred from amenities in theway of dental service, supplied by theState. Such parents were taxpayers,and it was not fair that they should*not be allowed the privileges the Stateprovided.

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS.

AT ADDINGTON RACECOURSE.

Two sudden deaths occurred at thetrotting meeting at Addington yester-day, one at 11.15 in the morning, andone just after the last race in theafternoon. In each case the unfortun-ate man was standing in front of thetotalisator—one of them presumably■ waiting to collect a dividend.

The first victim was Edward Drydena uiaij of 78 years of age, who residedat 3 Lincoln road, with his wife andwidowed daughter. He collapsed in afit and died within a few minutes.

An inquest will be opened this morn-ing.In the second case the death occur-red of Frederick Taigel, of 640 Co-

lombo street, a well-known pastrycookin the City. Hie. too, was waitingoutside the totalisator.Tt is understood that Taipei hadbeen attended by a doctor for sometime previou lv, so an inquest will pro-bably not be necessary.

electoral Systems and PracticalPolitics.

The available details of the polling inGreat Britain show that the strengthsof the Parties in the House of Com-mons are not proportionate to the votesgiven to their candidates. The Con-servative Party holds fewer seats, incomparison with Labour, than itsvoting strength in the country seemsto entitle it to, and the Liberal Partyseems to be " under-represented.""Proportional Representation " wouldhave given the Parties, roughly, thefollowing representation in the House:Conservatives 240, Labour 230, Liberals140. (These figures are not exact, butthey illustrate the point.) Actuallythe representation (again put downroughly) will be: Labour 290, Con-servatives 260, Liberals 60. This mayseem to the friends of P.R. to be anindictment of the ordinary method ofvoting, but they would find it difficultto give any sound reason, related tothe practical facts of the situation,why such a charge should be made.P.R. would have left exactly the sameunstable situation as has actually beenreached. If Mr Baldwin resigns, hewill do so for just the samereason that would have influencedhim if the election had been heldunder the P.R. system. For hisresignation, if it comes, will be dueto his having a majority against him.The most that the advocates of P.R.can say is that the ordinary methodof voting may produce a deadlock.But nobody has ever attempted tomaintain the contrary. What is prac-tically certain is that if an attempt byMr Baldwin or Mr Ramsay MacDonaldto carry on becomes intolerable to the

■ nation, another election or two underthe present system will assuredly givea clear majority to one or other of thetwo Parties. This will not necessarilyhappen through any huge turnover ofopinion, because the great majority ofvoters always remain faithful to theirParty, whatever their doubts or realconvictions may be. It is by the sec-tion of more active and independentminds in the Party that the changingover is effected which records thosereal developments of opinion that thereluctant but firm allegiance of theordinary Party voter goes far towardskeeping from sight. A comparativelysmall change-over in the polling may—-and in fact does—often signify a verysubstantial change in public opinion;and under the ordinary system of votingthis substantial change in opinion isrecorded in the final result. But whatwould happen under P.R.? The com-paratively small change-over in thepolling would, through the very natureof P.R., eause only small alterations inthe relative representation of theParties. P.R., that is to say, must tendto stereotype a Parliament. It wouldobviously leave no way of escape fromthe present position. Next to its fos-tering of sectional groups, this is per-haps the most serious practical faultin P.R. It is quite evident from thetotals of the polling that the countryis discontented with Mr Baldwin'sGovernment, that it has turned stronglytowards Labour, and that despite theunparalleled energy of the Liberals'campaign the nation by more thanthree to one has declared that it doesnot want the Liberal Party. The com-position of the House registers thesefacts very clearly.

The Enemies of theWheat-Grower.

The farmers of Canterbury, and suchrepresentative organisations as theFarmers' Union and the Chamber ofCommerce, are alive to the perilto the wheat industry containedin the Prime Minister's threat toask Parliament' to give a legis-lative endorsement of his opinionthat qur farmers are getting too muchfor their grain. We have found, how-ever, that it does no harm to keepthe farming community posted concern-ing the activities of their enemies. Theannouncement that the Government in-

I tends to submit the "reviewing "of thewheat duties to a Parliamentary Com-mittee consisting of representatives ofthe three political Parties has set theNorth Island newspapers in motiononce more against the wicked Canter-bury farmer. The Wellington eveningpaper, for instance, complains of thesetting up of a Committee; the Govern-ment, it appears to suggest, ought notto lose a moment in abolishing or re-ducing the duties without further en-quiry. The fact that the farmers havein self-defence been arranging a wheatpool is referred to as having "no"doubt intensified public hostility to" the wheat duties'." " Consumers, being"unorganised," this hostile critic says,"could express their hostility to the"imposts on wheat in no other way"than through the ballot box—which"they did." This is the first that the"consumer" or anybody else hasheard of the last election's having beenfought on the wheat question, and itrequired some courage in the Welling-ton paper to make so preposterous astatement Yet it can hardly have re-quired more courage to make it thanto denounce the wheat duties as beinga levy on the public. •

"No doubt," we are told, "wheat-growers are prepared for a withdrawalof th£ sliding scale of duties, but theyshould not be encouraged to believe thatcompensation will be found in subsidieswhich, like the can only be atthe public expense. Not only the priceof wheat but of flour apd mill offalsshould be reviewed by the proposedCommittee with the object of protectingconsumers In future against all such in-equitable and costly economic expedientsas the wheat and flour duties haveproved to be." "

If this is true of duties, it mustbe true of all Customs duties; and thecomplaint could not honestly be madeby anyone who was not willing tomake it concerning every other com- j

moditv besides wheat. Yet theWellington paper has long been astout defender of protective duties!Members of the Government have vir-tually confessed that the threatenedattack on the Canterbury farmer is theresult of North Island pressure, andhas a political explanation. It has noorigin in facts, or any merit derivablefrom considerations of justice. Thereis no more reason —there is lessreason, indeed—for the "reviewing"of the wheat duties than for the re-viewing of the higher duties on othernecessaries of life. Canterbury oughtto insist upon this fact J and if its re-sistance will not avail, the friends ofthe fanner should demand that if theParliamentary Committee is going totake evidence and report concerning theprice of bread it shall do its workhonestly and thoroughly enough toshow that if the price of bread is un-duly high, the responsibility is not thewheat-grower's.

FARMERS' TOUR.

VISIT TO ARAPUNI.

THE PUMICE LANDS.

[THE PRESS Special Service.]

ROTORUA, June 3.Canterbury farmers have been seeing

the sights over the week-end of the Ro-

torua and Wairakei thermal regions. OnSaturday morning they left Hamiltonon a 60-mile run to Arapuni, membersof the local A. and P. Association pro-viding a fleet of 50 cars and busesto transport the party.

The early part of the journey tookthe visitors through some of the richestparts of the —Cambridge andMorrinsville—all heavily stocked withcows. The Horahora hydro-eleetricworks were inspected, and then Ara-puni. The harnessing of the Waikato isthe most spectacular engineeringachievement in the Dominion. In ad-dition to being the boldest and thebiggest, it is the costliest of the Stateenterprises in this respect. Originallyestimated to cost £1,100,000, it exceededthe two million mark before a'wheelturned. The work was fraught with allkinds of difficulties, but a trial run ofthe machinery was made during theweek, and in another few days powerwill be transmitted to Auckland.

The immensity of the power amazedthe visitors. A vast wall 170 feet highbacks up the waters of the Waikato for18 miles, creating a vast lake, and inaddition there is the never-ending sourceof supply, Lake Taupo.

The party rejoined the train at Puta-ruru, and reached Rotorua at 6 o'clock.A sharp frost of about 12 degrees yes-terday morning reminded M>thven visitors of home. The day was again glori-ously fine, and the day's programme toLake Taupo, the wonder valley of theWairakei, the Huka Falls, and the Ara-tiatia Rapids, was conducted under idealconditions. The 300 visitors divided offinto three parties, and saw the variousattractions iii turn.

The route of the trip was interestingfrom a farmer's viewpoint. There isonly one settlement, a soldiers' colony"at Reparoa, in the course of the 50miles. It was the least successful overthe earlier stages of the sett'ementschemes, and the original settlers walkedoff. However, under reduced valuationsand new tenants, the settlement is mak-ing its way. The great drawback islaek of transport, and the abandonmentof the Taupo railway was a grievousblow to them.

I The formation has been carried onparallel with the road for eight miles,at a cost, so far, of close on £IOO,OOO.The route is a particularly easy one,but, in the opinion of the bulk of thevisitors, the prosecution of the lineis entirely unjcstifled unti' the hugearea of pumice land it will tap is fur-ther proved. It is claimed that thebulk of this wide tract can be put inpasture at about £6 an acre, and withthe aid of top-dressing made to retainthe pasture. If so, the line will bejustified, but that time is not yet. Thecost of reclamation is beyond themeans of the intending settler, but theGovernment intends doing this on a con-siderable scale, and then disposing ofthe improved sections to the settlers. Inview of this, and the necessity later onto tap the huge afforestation reservesat Waiotapu and Kaiangai-oa, the for-mation work already undertaken shouldnot be allowed to fall into ruin. Th6ugha forlorn looking proposition at present,from a farmers' viewpoint, the fieldsof good pasture at Beparoa indicatethat there are possibilities of success-ful settlement.

To-day the party visited Whakare-warewa, the local thermal show place,and left this afternoon for Auckland.

MADE A MISTAKE.

SIR JOSEPH CARRUTHERSMAKES ADMISSION.

[THB PBESS Special Service.] !

AUCKLAND, June 3.Referring to a statement he made

same time ago that Sir GeorgeRichardson was Administrator ofWestern Samoa during the influenzaepidemic in 1918, Sir Joseph Car-ruthers, who is aboard the Niagara,said it was an innocent remark. "]

found I bad used Sir George's namewhen I mentioned the influenza epi-demic of 1918, but he was away at thewar at that time," said Sir Joseph.H© also said that he had never heardany suggestion of a libel action.If I had been notified of any im-pending action I would have foughtSir Georee Richardson in Court," de-clared the former Premier of NewSouth Wajes. As soon as he had dis-covered his mistake he wrote to SirGeorge and expressed his regret. "Mycommunication was an entirely privi-leged one," he said this morningAfter the mistake had been made SirGeorge Richardson wrote to a friend inAustralia pointing it out and askingthat the letter be shown to Sir Joseph.

Army Home at Addington supplied8361* meals, 3300 beds, and placed 33men in work and sent 62 men into thecountry.

The winter railway time-table willcome into force on Jnne 23rd. Manyaltera, ions on South Island lines willbe made, and the expresses will be af-fected, most of them running a fewminutes later.

Very few ducks were shot over theweek-end. The weather has been too

calm to drive them from the centre otthe lake. A few bags of five and sis

were shot yesterday, but shooting hasbeen very poor since the beginning otthe season.

A broken arch in the fire-box of thesouth through express from Inrercar-Kill to Lyttelton last evening causedtL train to run behind schedule fromDunsandel, arriving in Chnstchurchabout an hour late. Owing to the de-fect the engine could not maintainfull 'speed and travelled under reducedpower until assisted by a light engine

which was immediately dispatched toits assistance.

The work of stocking the Acclimatx-sation Society hatcheries is still going,

on Since last Friday week, when thework began, about 200 WO eggs otbrown trout have been collected. Thweather has been rather too fine andthe trout have not been running quiteso well as usual. A little rain wouldimprove the run so long as it is notenough to cause a fresh. Stripping therainbow trout should begin about thefirst week in July.

Last Sunday was the hottest dayduring the week, when the tempera-ture reached a maximum of 58deg.The frost on Sunday night lasted 10hours with a maximum of Bdeg. Lastweek was the frostiest of the year so

far: on Saturday there were K)-6deg.,and on the morning of the ASth10 ldeg. of frost. In contrast to thisvear, May last year had a frost ofI2de°- on the 26th. This year therehave%een only two considerablethe barometer has been higher and theweather has been clearer. The rain-

fall has also been much lighter ■ thisyear only iin.has fallen on five days;last May it rained on 11 days and 2.dinfell On an average the minimumglass has shown ideg. more frost thisMav than last. The temperature inthe' sun, however, has beenhigher on account of the cloudlessweather. There was a little> snow onthe Cashmere Hills on the 27th; lastyear the hills were free from snow tillmuch later. The prevailing windshave been light sou'-west and, (*ontr ryto the impression one would gam fromthe poor duck season, they have beenmuch more numerous than for the sameperiod last year.

A position most unusual in the his-tory of Borough Councils was discussedat the last meeting of the MorrinsvilleBorough Council, when the boroughsolicitors advised that, as outstandingrates on an unoccupied section couldnot be collected, a judgment summonshad been taken out (states the "NewZealand Herald"). This had not beensatisfied, and the Council now hadthe option of selling the section tomeet the rates. However, the circum?stances were unusual, in that were thesection offered for sale by auction itwas extremely unlikely that therewould be a purchaser, as the land waspractically valueless, being only a gully.The Council would be out of pockettthrough having to pay advertising

and other expenses. The advice of thesolicitors was to leave the sectioncovered by the summons and not toattempt to sell it. The Mayor saidthat in 99 cases out of 100 a local bodycould secure at lea=t the value of therates by selling This wns th° hun-dredth case. He thought the soli'bora'advice should be followed. This wasagreed to by the Council.

ARBITRATION COURT.

LABOUR POLITICIAN'S VIEWS.

. [THE PBBSS Speciil Bertie#.]

AUCKLAND, June 3."I think the Arbitration Court in

Australia has outlived its usefulness,"said the Hon. Mr Beckett, a memberof the Victorian Legislative Council,who is a through passenger by theNiagara at Honolulu.

"What do you think will take itsplace ?" he was asked.

' Well, that is an exceedingly diffi-cult question to answer,'' he replied-"TTie abolition of it will be the biggestquestion at the next elections. Myown personal opinion is that the sys-tem of arbitration must prevail Itmust be kept in action as far as thelarger industries are concerned suchas steamship companies and the shear-ing industry but apart from tho«e two

BREACH HEALED?

ambulance ASSOCIATIONAND BRIGADE.

desire for unity indicated

For the past eighteen months orso it has been common knowledgethat a serious breach existed betweenthe St. John Ambulance Associationand tlie St. John Ambulance Brigade.The misunderstanding Jias been orsuch a character that the Brigade ob-tained rooms in another part of theCity and as far as possible the Brigadehas been run as a body independent ofand in no way connected with the As-sociation.

Several attempts have beon madeto heal the breach and remove thecause uf misunderstanding, but all theseefforts proved unsuccessful. It is under-stood that from action taken by theBrsiade members of their own volition,matters now are in train which, it isbelivved, will culminate in a completereconciliation and ultimately in the-return of the Brigade to the quartersformerly occupied by its members inthe building in which the rooms of theAssociation are situated Meetings ofthe different divisions of the Brigadehave been It- ' ' recently and at thesethe matters it led "to the separa-tion of the Brigade from the Associa-tion have been discussed with the re-sult that unofficial indications havebeen given that a return to the previ-ous state of amity and goodwill isdesired. The Association, it is be-lieved, has been and still is preparedto meet the Brigade more than halfway.

THE PRIME MINISTER.

AUCKLAND'S WARM WELCOME.

[THE PBBSS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, June 3.Auckland gave the Prime Minister

a rousing welcome at the railway stationthis morning. Cheers rang out fromthe large body of Government support-ers thronging the entrance to shaketheir leader by the hand, as the figureof Sir Joseph Ward was framed in thedoorway of the Ministerial car, whilea still larger crowd on the roadwayoutu le echoed he salutation Frur Min-isters—the Hon. M|" Atmore (Ministerfor Education), the Hon. Mr Donald(Postmaster-General), the Hon. MrStallworthy (Minister for Health), andthe Hon. Mr Taverner (Minister forBailways)—welcomed Sir Joseph, whowas accompanied by his daughter, MrsB. B. Wood. As the Limited was overan hour late, the Prime Minister wasunable to attend the King's Birthdaymilitary parade at the Domain.

On leaving his carriage Sir JosephWard was escorted to a specially con-structed platform outside the stationwhere speeches of welcome were made.The appearance of the Prime Ministerwas signalised by a renewed outburstof cheering. Sir Joseph said the comingsession wou'd not be an pnpronriate tirru*for skirmishing on minor matters, ratherit would be a time for dealing courage-ously with matters of major importanceto the whole Dominion. Parliamentwould be asked to adjudicate on im-portant matters, including the settle-ment of the land. The settlement ofgreater numbers of people was the lastsheet anchor of the Government's policy,and it was a matter which would haveto be dealt with efficiently if the Do-minion was to make that degree of pro-gress essential to its prosperity. "Atthis stage of my visit I have no inten-tion of making a policy speech," hesaid, "but on Tuesday night I hope tooutline the Government's policy in amanner which will, I think, be of in-terest to all."

THE COMING SESSION.

PRIME MINISTER'S STATEMENT.

[THE PBESS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, Jone 3.The session of Parliament which is

to open on June 27tb will not be along one, in the opinion of the PrimeMinister."I should say at this stage that it

will not be long as sessions go, perhapsunder four months," remarked Sir Jo-,seph Ward, in an interview this morn-ing. "The Government's legislativeprogramme, now being prepared, isfairly substantial if not heavy, but itshould not take a great time to dealwith."

Sir Joseph said the Government hadnot dealt with the question of the ap-pointment of a successor to the Hig'iCommissioner, whose term will expire atthe end of July this year. So far thequestion had not been raised.

The Prime Minister declined to makeany comment on the question of alteredsitting hours in the House of Represen-tatives. He said the report of theStanding Orders Revision Committee,embodying the recommendations, wouldbe presented to the House, which wouldvote upon the report. It was a matterwhich the Houbo would have to decidefor itself.

PARADE OF TROOPS INAUCKLAND.

[THE PBESS Special s«rrlce.]

AUCKLAND, June 3.Over six thousand troops paraded at

the Domain to-day before the Governor-General, including 17 officers and 429

.men of the Royal Navy. The Governor-General was received by General K.Young, officei commanding the NewZealand Forces. After the Royalsalute his Excellency returned to thesaluting base for the inarch past. VV benthe troops had marched past and beendrawn up again in review order hisExcellency and the staff moved out m

front of the parade and, removing

their headgear, the 6000 men andcadets gave three hearty cheers forhis Majesty. It was an inspiring mo-ment rendered all the more so by rea-son of the anxiety of the King s sub-jects during his late revere illnessand his providential recovery.

That the Valuation Department hasrealised that the policy of raising un-improv.\] rural values at such a timeis un viable is indicated by the factthat between 1927 and there baabeen a drop of nearly nine millions. De-tailed figures of the" unimproved valuesof counties since 1920 afford much foodfor reflection. The list is as follows:

State Valuers.The Year Book contains an "histori-

cal account'' of the valuation of landfor taxation purposes. "The valuingof land up to the year 1896," it states,"was not conducted on a uniform basis.Each State Department and each localauthority worked quite independentlyand employed as valuers whom itthought fit". The Land Tax Depart-ment periodically employed a smallarmy of temporary valuers when it re-quired a new valuation of lands fortaxation purposes, and each localauthority had its own particularmethod of making up its roll for thelevying of rates.

''Estimates of values arrived at byvarious authorities varied to a danger-ous degree. Some values were veryhigh, being based on speculative prices,while many were extremely low. Fre-quentlv the same property had severalvalues assigned to it. In order toovercome as far as possible the obviousdefects of the old system it was de-cided to establish a new system ofvaluation by which all valuations re-quired by State Departments whetherfor loan, taxation, or other purposesand bv local authorities that rate onthe capital or unimproved value,should be made by valuers employedbv the State at fixed salaries and re-sponsible to the Government alone.

Speculative Influences.Good intentions, doubtless, but there

are many who might be tempted to re-mark that the way to high tax anarating revenue has been paved by them.Total unimproved values, at least mthe North Island apparently have beenas sensitive to the speculative brcciesas the ideas of private people. Andfurther, many business and professionalmen whose affairs bring them closely intouch with land values are ready todeclare that it is so much nonsense tosuggest .that the system brought intoforce in 1896 has removed anomalies.

One man cited the figures of unim-proved value for the rural lands of thetwo islands to support his contentionthat there is a complete lack of uni-formity and system in valuing. In1927. the last year for which detailedfigures are available, these were:—

Ares inOccupation, Unimproved

"I am prepared to agree that theNorth Island is more productive thanthe South Lsland as a whole, that theSouth Island occupied area contain#a huge expanse of mountain foothillsand semi-barren ridges,'' he said, "batif there is any uniformity in the valu-ing system, if it is free_ from the in-fluence of speculative prices, how canthe unimproved value of nearly twicethe area in the South Island be worth£43.000.000 lees? Is it not evidentthat land taxation in the North i»disproportionateP"

Lender*' Attitude.Enquiry as to the nature of valuations

in the Auckland district were pursuedin many directions without disclosingany dear-cut id as on the subject amongbusiness men. The point of view ofthose concerned with the investment ofmoney was that in sny ease they took nonotice whatever of Government valua-tions when they were considering ad-vances ,pn broad acres.

They rely solely upon their own valu-ers. On the other hand, tha State Ad-vances Office and the Public TrustOffice base their lending operations onthe figures of the Valuation Department,and in this connexion it was avertedthat often the Government valuationwas so absurdly low that the StateAdvances Office was able to decline veryreasonable request*."I do not know what the system of

the Valuation Department is," said anauthority upon rural land. "All I eansay is that if it has any system it is avery bad one. I know of many placesunder-valued and many over-valued- Itis all quite beyond me."

One business man who owns a fairlylarge sheep, farm in the province istaxed, and rated on an unimproved

value of nearly £6OOO. This works outat about £2 15s an acre. "The land,"he said, "is ordinary second-class coun-try—mainly rough bush land. If its un-improved value is £2 15s it could notbe brought in economically. It wouldcost £1 10s an acr<* to clear it, another£1 10s to sow and fence it. and by thetime the necessary buildings were on itand it was in fair working order itwould have reached a value beyond itscapacity. Actually it is the same classof land that was taken up, say, 20years ago, at eight or ten shillings anacre. Its unimproved value is nomore to-day. However, much of ithas been brought in, it carries buildingsinsured for over £IOOO, but I can-not get au increase on a mortgage of£4500 to break in an area which wouldcarry another 1000 sheep and increaseproduction by at least £IOOO a year."

An Unchecked Movement.The theory presented by one man was

that speculators had often encouragedvaluers to raise the values with an ideaof aiding them to "unload"' profitably,and that other lands, not held specula-tively, came under such influences. Noone wants to pay an increased land tax,but presumably there is a considerableamount of indifference among ownersas to valuation?. Perhaps they likethe look of high igures. They may

give them a sense of well-being andinduce them to the frame ®f

DISCUSSION BY EDUCATIONALCONFERENCE.

[THB PKEBB SyacUl Barftec ]

WELLINGTON. June 3.i The fir>t group of Australian dele-gates returning from the VancouverEducational Conftrince reached Wel-

j lington to-day by the R M.S. Mr.Vara| The party consists of Mr K. r.I franklin of the Melbourne' Grammar Sclkx>l>. Mr S. H. fimtuhI (Director of Education, New South| vV.-UJi), and Mr Archibald Strong! (Prutessor of Lngliih at Adelaide lai-| versity). The delegates spoKe m terms

uf warm pram 1 r>t tin courtesy and' h.vspitahty extended t>> them in Can-

I ada, and stated that the metimg* of' the Conference attravte.l cruivded au :i-

---enoes and evoked the in-terest of the peole There were thirtydelegates from overseas. Great BritainNew Zealand. Australia, India. France.Italy, Czecho-Sknakia. J.ipan. andGermany being strongly represented,while 200 delegates attended from thevarious provinces of Canada.

"The most picturesouc delegate,"said Mr S. H. Smitn. when inter,viewed, "was the great Hindu wer aadpoet. Sir Rabindranath Tagore. Cladin his flowing brick red robes he might,with his finely chiselled features andlong flowing white beard, hare sat asa model for Michaelangelo's statue ofMoses, the lawgiver Tagore gavethree long addresses to the Confer-enee on the 'Philosophy of Leisure, *

telling us that 'time is money, butleisure is wealth.' and driving homethe old lesson that it profits not togain the whole world if it involveslosing one's soul. The fine scholarlyaddress of Sir Archibald Strong, oi

Adelaide, created a profound impres-sion. It was unaue«tionably one ofthe outstanding deliverances of theConference. Sir Archibald, with choicediction and a flawless comr—d oflanguage, showed that 'leisure - life "

"I am afraid that Australia willnot be able to retain the sen ices ofSir Archibald much longer." stated MrSmith. "Wealthy America has alreadystolen some of our most brilliant schol-ars, and I quite anticipate that temp-ting offers will be made to Ade-laide's distinguished professor into oo*of the Canadian or American fDi-versities. I heard the ridiculooa rag-gestion that Adelaide is too small aplace for so eminent a scholar. OurUniversities must find some means ofproviding more attractive emolumentsand better conditions for researchworkers if we are to k*ep really greatmen with us.

...

"Mr Franklin, of Victoria, and MrMilner, of New Zealand, also madenotable contributions to the Confer-ence deliberations. Amongst other#who took a prominent part in the-Van-couver meetings were Mr ErnostRavmond, the English writer. SirChas. Grant Robertson, of Birming-ham University, Count Serge Fluery,of France, Professor Matousek, ofPrague, Dr. Kawasaki, of Japan, Dr.Bruno Roselli. of Italv, Dr. LudwigMueller, of Germany, Professor Rush*brook Williams, and Sir AubreySrmonds.

„ „"The major theme of the Conferencewas 'Education for Leisure.' Speakerspointed out that leisure, unless spentwisely, would lead rather to deaththrough dissipation than to enlaqrelife. By dissipation is not meant merelyindulgence in debauchery in any ofits forms, but also that wasting oftime and effort on futilities that ftT 1®not edifying.

.

"One of the most interesting discus-sions at the Conference was tint uponthe cinema. Dr. Leslie Pidaeon, ofMontreal, took the view that the mov-ing pictures of to-day. generallv speak-ing, exercise a corrupting influenceupon the minds of the young.

_

hepleaded for State control of the cinemaand urged that society should assertitself to guide the censorship of pic-tures into constructive channels."Censorship,' he said, 'is a cureh nega-tive force at present. It larlcs oppor-tunity to direct a positive influenceupon the motion picture industry.' Th«law of Quebec, which prohibits childrenunder 16 from attending picturetheetree. recognises the evil, and bsurged that this principle be generallyadopted. Other speakers opposed thesuggestion that the Stat® should con-trol the film. 'We might as well tryto prohibit the Press,' said Sir AubrevSymonds. 'lt is here, and it is doingmuch good and also mnch eril. Wemust devise plans to increaae theamount of good %nd to eliminate theevil.' The Conference as a whole op-posed Dr. Pidgeon's views, but urgedthat a closer and more exacting cen-sorship should prevail."

"I took the opportunity when inCanada and the United States." addedMr Smith, "to investigate the talkies.I am strongly of opinion that if w*are to preserve the purity of our Eng-lish tongue drastic steps must be takento keep out of the*e lands of theSouthern Crow* those of the Americantalkins films which do violence to oorSaxon speech. Th* sincere and suc-cessful effort* we are now making inthe Australian schools to maintaina high standard of spoken English willfail if our vonng people hear much ofthe execrable nmnunciation ofwhich distinguishes most of the Ameri-can 'talkies' of to-day.

MRBALDWIN S TWOCOURSES.

RESIGN OR FACE THEHOUSE ?

POSITION COMPLICATED BYKING'S ILLNESS.

{BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.)

(Received June 3rd, 5.5 p.m.)RUGBY, June 2.

The fact that no Party has a clearmajority creates an interesting situation.

The first step in its development restswith Mr Baldwin. Two courses appar-ently are open to the Prime Minister,who is considering the situation duringthe week-end at Chequers, his officialcountry house, preparatory to meetinghis colleagues next week. He may re-construct his Cabinet and proceed tomeet Parliament when it assembles onJune 25th, or he may forthwith resign.

It is argued that Parliament shoulddecide whether a change of Governmentis desired, and that the result of theelection does not entitle Mr Baldwin ineffect to hand over the Government toLabour, which is also in a minority.

It is also contended by some that thedecision of the electorate should be ac-cepted, and that the Labour Partyshould be given the opportunity of pre-senting the King's Speech, with whichParliament will be opened.

Those holding this view declare thatthe 1923 precedent is not entirely ap-plicable to the present situation, inas-much as on that occasion the Conserva-tive Party was still the largest in theState, and the course of awaiting defeatin the House of Commons on the Labourno-confidence vote was then the obviousone to take.

Sir Austen Chamberlain, in a speechat Birmingham last night, said it wasfor the Prime Minister, after takingsuch advice as he thought proper, todecide his course of action, but hehoped Mr Baldwin would face the Houseof Commons and leave to Mr LloydGeorge and the Liberal Party the re-sponsibility for the situation they hadcreated.

Care and Deliberation.The "Daily Telegraph" and the

"Daily Mail" definitely state that thePrime Minister will take this course.He will, it is said, reconstruct his* Minis-try and present himself before the newHouse of Commons with a programmeof work to be accomplished" during thebrief session before the summer recessearly in August, and await action bythe Opposition Parties.

The "Morning Post" says: "TheGovernment's position is unfortunatelycomplicated by the illness of the King.There is no other consideration to temptMr Baldwin to remain in office amoment longer than is indispensable tothe preliminaries of change."

The "Manchester Guardian" urgesthat the handling during the next fewweeks of important constitutional ques-tions should be approached with careand deliberation. It considers that itwould be a misfortune if Mr Baldwinwere immediately to resign, and pointsout that if he decides to carry on nntildefeated in Parliament there will be awhole month in which to cultivate thetemper of the House, and to explore thefield of possible compromise.

The "Daily Herald" (the Labourorgan), on the other hand, demands thatMr Baldwin should at once resign, sothat the leader of the largest Party inParliament may take up his part. -

Meanwhile the Leaders of the LabourLiberal Parties are considering their

position.

"LABOUR WILL FORMNEXT GOVERNMENT."

OPINION OF " THE TIMES."

(Received June 3rd, 9 p.m.)

LONDON, June 3."The day's outstanding fact of the

election is that Labour will form thenext Government by virtue of theirhaving the largest following in theHouse of Commons," "The Times"states. "That is the nation's manifestintention. Labour may dismiss thesuspicion that the Conservatives arefabricating an unholy alliance for thepurpose of obstructing it.

■ v* netLier xur uamwin resigns orawaits the Mouse of Commons diSr-missa. in uirtie »«eeKs' time is of rela-tively small importance. Mr Baldwininmself probaoiy feels that even toappear to hesitate is like a batsmanquestioning the umpire's decision.

pro and co**, on the subjectof his immediate resignation, are close-ly balanced. There can be no question01 seeking Liberal support to prolongthe life of the Government, tftougiisigns of it in certain sections of tne

would be as welcome to certainnervous souls as it would be to thetadpoles and tapers who haunt muddywaters.

"Mr Lloyd George can effectivelyput the Socialists into power. Themethod and manner of their assumingit matters little, but what does matteris that there should be no suspicionof manoeuvres afoot to rob Labour ofthe fruits of its victory."

The 'Daily Telegraph" says thatconstitutional usage and expediencyalike demand that Mr Baldwin shouldreconstruct his Ministry and meet theHouse with a programme of progres-sive, non-controversial measures com-mon to all Parties, leaving the respon-sibility of defeating it and forcinganother early election to his oppon-ents. _ .

The "Daily Mail," claiming13,000,000 to 8,000,000 votes againstSocialism, says the Conservatives andLiberals must get together.—"TheTimes" Cables and Australian PressAssociation.

LABOUR GOVERNMENTPREDICTED.

NO SOCIALISTIC MEASURES.

(Received June 3rd, 9.40 p.m.)

LONDON, June 3.''The Times'' states that the National

Executive of the Labour Party meetsduring the coming week to hear theopinions of Party leaders, especially MrMacDonald's, and shape a policyenabling the Labour Party to assumeoffice and maintain itself therein for thetwo years essential to maturingLabour's plans and ensuring the intro-duction of two Budgets.

If the second is not carried they willgo to the country, but it is necessary, inthis connexion, to have either theLiberal's support or their benevolentneutrality. Consequently, Labour ismost likely to choose from a programmeof measures which the Liberals favour,and to postpone definitely Socialisticlegislation until a more convenient time.—"The Times" Cables.

MR MAXTON'S WORLD OFDREAMS.

(Received June 3rd, 10.28 p.m.)LONDON, June 3.

Mr J. Maxton, speaking at a Labourvictory" demonstration at Glasgow,said. "Even if we do not control Bri-tain we are going to have an oppor-tunity of ruling it.

"A SIGN OF THE TIMES."

(BRITISH OFFICIAL WXBXI.SBS.)

(Received June 3rd, 7.5 p.m.)

RUGBY, June 2.-Commenting on the immediate re-

sults of the polling most of the news-papers express surprise at the propor-tions of the Labour vote.

"The Times" says:—,

"Some of the general advance of tnatParty may be due to the studied nio

eration of the programme put forwardby its leaders, and the return in p "

ticular of Mr Ben Turner, who hasshown considerable courage m his pro-tagonism of industrial peace, is a wel-come sign of the times. It is a con-firmation of this inference that tneonly retiring Communist member washeavily defeated, and that the Com-munist candidates polled in every casethe merest handful of votes "

The "Daily Chronicle.' after admit-ting that Labour's advance cannot be■lainsaid, says one thing that emergesclearly is the need for electoral re-form." If a system of three Parties is

to be worked without injustice at thepolls the Liberals, with over 5.000.Uwvotes, are once more grossly tinker-rep-resented. while, of the other Partiesthe Conservatives come first in votesand second in seats.

On all hands it is agreed that heIrst experience of the adult franchisehas not been disappointing, the votesfa=t having apparently averaged nearly80 per cent, of the total electorate.

MR BRIDGEMAN BECOMESA VISCOUNT.

RECOGNITION FOR KING'S

DOCTORS.

(VTSITZD PRESS ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTSICTELE3HAPH—COPYBIGHT.)

LONDON, June 2.The following Birthday Honours

have been conferred by his MajestyKing George:—

Earldom.Lord Inchcape, shipping magnate.[James Lyle Mackay, first Viscount

Inchcape, was born at Arbroath, Scot-land, in September, 1852, and educatedthere and at Elgin. In 1874 he went toIndia as a shipping clerk, to join thefirm of Mackinnon, Mackenzie, and Co.,Calcutta, of which he eventually becamesenior partner. In 1891 he was ap-pointed a member of the Viceroy'sLegislative Council, and in 1897 of theCouncil of India. He was knighted in1894. As a sequel to the Boxer rising

he was sent in 1902 to China, where henegotiated a commercial treaty atShanghai, receiving the G.C.M.G. for hisservices. He belonged to most of theIndian Government commissions. Whilein England he was a member of thecommittees of enquiry into the admin-istration of the Board of Trade andLocal Government Board in 1903-4, intothe Government workshops in 1905-7,and into the natural resources of theEmpire and the improvement of Im-perial trade. In 1911 he was raised tothe peerage as Lord Inchcape. His con-nexion with shipping began before thewar, for he was chairman of the BritishIndia Line', which was amalgamatedwith the Peninsular and Oriental SteamNavigation Co., and he then becamechairman of this vast combination whichnow has 235 vessels totalling 1,600,000gross tons. It owns the Unioo SteamShip Co., of New Zealand, and hns a'soan interest in the New Zealand Ship-ping Co., and in the Orient Steam Navi-gation Co., while it holds 75 per cent,of the shares of the General SteamNavigation Co. During the war he tooka leading part in dealing with all itsproblems and afterwards assisted theGovernment to dispose of 198 ships toprivate owners—an operation involving£35,000,000. In 1921 he served on theGeddes economy committee, and in 1922was chairman of the Indian Retrench-ment Committee. For his services hewas made a-viscount in 1924. In De-cember, 1926, he aroused a storm ofprotest by declaring his belief that Bri-tain had, in a great measure, broughtabout the present antagonism to theBritish in China by sending mission-aries there to endeavour to convert thepeople fron? Buddhism to Christianity.The attempt to break down China's an-cient faiths, as sacred to the Chineseas Christianity was to Englishmen, was,he said, to be deplored. Such effortsin his view did far more harm thangood. In January, 1927, Lord Inchcapegave £7OOO towards the erection of achurch at New Delhi, the Indian capi-tal. His daughter, the Hon. Elsie Mac-kay, was lost when attempting an At-lantic flight.]

In view ofhis previous connexion with the MinesDepartment he was called on to repre-sent the Government during the fruit-less negotiations with the miners in1925. He was one of the Ministers whom May, 1926, opposed the Prime Minis-ter's efforts to avert a general strike,and, when Mr Baldwin had arrangedterms which would have led to its beingcalled off, Mr Bridgeman is said to havebeen one of the seven members of theCabinet who threatened to resign ifthis course was followed. Mr Bridge-man married in 1895 Caroline, daughterof Mr Cecil Parker, who is regardedas the ablest woman in the Conserva-tive Party, and is an excellent politicalspeaker and organiser.

TRADE IN AUSTRALIA.

MR R. A. LAID LAW'SOPINION.

AUCKLAND, June 3.The business man who visits Mel-

bourne and Sydney at present cannotlail to bo impressed by the extent towhich the timber strike is affectingthe commercial world, said Air K. A.Laidlaw, general manager of the Auck-land Farmers' Trading Company, whoreturned hv the Niagara to-day troma visit to

"

Australia. Melbourne inparticular, he >aid, was snilering keen-iv from the .-trike. When it ua.s iea-

llsed that even in normal times theVictorian capital had not the rush andhustle of Sidney, little imaginationwas needed to picture the state oi

business after a htrike of four monthsduration.

'•Unless there is a revival in trade,Mr Laidlau commented, •'heavier tax-ation is inevitable, none ot the Gov-ernments seem to have the courage tocronomiv by reducing their staffs.Mr Laidlaw believes that business menin New Zea'aiitl may gain valuable ex-perience and inspiration bv makingperiodical visits to Australia. "Syd-ney and Melbourne, he said, "nowhave a combined population of over•2.000,000. They not only have largemanufacturing plants, but they havealso several departmental stores withturnovers in excess of £'4,000,000 pernnntnr- I believ.i that the few weeksnecessary for the visit may bo madevery profi table.''

WHEAT INSTITUTE.

NEW ROTARY OVEN.

The new electric oven has now ar-

rived at the Wheat Institute and willbo installed shortly. The oven, whichconies from America, is only the thirdof its kind to be made. It has beendesigned purely for experimental pur-poses and is so constructed as to ensureabsolutely even baking. The oven isof a rotary type and the bread is

arranged on six rotating pans, whichare worked by a motor beneath theoven. The pans are arranged on aplanetary system so that each panrotates at the same time that it re-volves round the centre. The tempera-ture, which can be raised to 1500 or1600 deg., is automatically controlledat an even level. The usual bakingheat is 450 to 500 deg. Fahrenheit.

Mr West, who is in charge of theWheat Institute, said the reports ofthe work in the newspapers hadcaused a considerable amount of in-terest among the farmers, and he hadhad letters of appreciation and en-quiry.

At the 400ft level, the seaward face onthe Stoekwood 'reef has been advanced 10ftfor the week, leaving; 40ft to reach the esti-mated position of its junction with the GreenHarp reef. The reef in the face is about 3ftin Width, composed of strong bands of crystal-lised quarts and black mineral seams, withits usual pug formation on the hanging-wall.

Stoping operations on the Stoekwood reelat the 400ft level were resumed last week.Strong blotches of gold are being seenthrough the quartz broken, and, judging fromthe -show of on the plates, this oreia of good payable quality.

The winze at the junction of the Stoekwoodand Union Beach Cross reef is down 12ft;gold hat been seen at each breaking down,and all the reef broken is being crushed atthe battery. So far no water has been metwith, and if conditions continue there willbe no difficulty' in going down 50ft or moreif'required.

MINING REVIVAL.

PROSPECTS IN QUEENSLAND.

(rao\i f>vn owjt cokrespondent.)

SYDNEY, May 23.A revival of the timber mining in-

dustry is indicated by the brief an-nouncement in Sydney that a Britishfinancial corporation has been inducedto invest a large sum in three tin fieldsin the north.

Recently, in England, the mines con-cerned were brought under the notice«f the Whitworth Finance and MiningCorporation, a combination which h#sSir Treveyden Wynne as chairman ofits Board of Directors, with the resultthat the firm's own manager was sentto Queensland to make a personal in-vestigation. The corporation, whiehlias a capital of £350,000, decided tocommence operations immediately atIrvine Bank. Owing to extremely bad■weather, work has not yet been com-menced at Koorhurra and Garrumbala,the other two fields iu whieh the com-

pany is interested. It is said that theinterests of the Corporation are hardlylikely to stop where they are, and thereis a possibility of it taking options inseveral other tin mines where no workhas been dono for some years. Thegeneral lack of linanee has been thestumbling-block. Investors in tin, ittvould seem, prefer to place their money■with companies who operate outsideAustralia. In view of the labourproblems of the Commonwealth this isnot surprising.

Irvino Bank is the principal mine ofthe threo in which the English com-pany is interested, although the othersare largo mines. It is expected that•when tho group is in full working orderabout 1000 men will bo employed.There arc already sixty men at IrvineBank. It is considered that two yearswill elapse before tho mines obtaintheir maximum output. One of themines at Irvino Bank has a record ofhaving produced during its life ofthirty years (which lasted until thecommencement of the war) over 13,000tons of tin concentrates, which was soldat an average of £53 a ton. To-dayit "would bo worth double that figure.As it is, shareholders have drawn<£185,000 in dividends from the mine.

At present the mine is full of water,mid it will prdbably cost the BritishCompany £6OOO to clear it, so that thec!d workings Cata be inspected. Fol-lowing thet, recent decision to work theMount I?iv and Mount Elliott minesagain, (Queensland is excited at theprospect of a definite revival of itslagging rniping industry.

MOANATAIARI MINE.

I OPERATIONS AND WORKINGPOLICY.

£THE FBESS Special Seryice.]

AUCKLAND,'June 3.Another meeting ox shareholders in the

Moanataiari Gold Mining Company was held

this week to'discuss the company's position,

but as there was not a quorum present, therebeing only 12,000 shares represented insteadof tne required, no resolution waspassed. The chairman, Mr W. M. Gimson,gave a brief outline of the work at present

! Seins carried on et the mine, and outlined: the working policy of the Board of direc-tors for the next few months.

Statin* he had been to Thames since opera-tions had been recommenced at the mine, ilrGimson said that since work had been stoppedthe workings at the reel had fallen into avery bad state. During the time work was

; suspended the mana-er had carried out a series

of tests with low-grade ores, which had beenwashed up and put through a single-stampmill. , . . .

in the country which was being workedthe gold was carried in stringers and whathad been done was to install a new washingplant, wash the ore and crush the quartz,which formed from 10 to 15 per cent, of thebulk. The mill was now ready to start, anda commencement should be made at once. Itwas expected that gold couid be producedwithout loss by this method. Another pointwas that enquiries had been made in theDominion from overseas for properties carry-ing low-grade ores, and this week the re-presentatives of a London group would lookover part of the Moanataiari property. Ifgold could be shown by the washing processit would be a matter of importance.

The finances of the company made itimpossible to work both the reef and thewasher. As the reef was in such a stateof disorder, it had been decided to givethe washing method a trial, although. itwas not the intent.on of the Board toabandon the idea of working the reef. It washoped now to show a return of gold everymonth, and although it might not be a greatdeal, it would be a means of interesting otherpeople, and would be of benefit to other com-panies.

There was a great chance of exploitingthe hill, but not with the present capital.Although at the very commencement the low-grade washing process might not be a su<vcess, when experiment had shown the bestmeans of working the plant, the ore in thehill would be worked as far as possible. Atpresent the ore was obtained at the entranceto the drive, about 60ft from the washer,and it was run down in chutes to the plant,a considerable advantage, both in cost andlabour. In addition to the manager. MrBaker, there were four men engaged atpresent.

In conclusion Mr Gimson referred to therecent fire at the mine. The damage wasnot extensive, and had been repaired suf-ficiently to last until everything could beproperly put in order.

Another meeting will be held next Thurs-day afternoon in the Chamber of Commerceand the position of the company will thenbe discussed.

the year 228,742 tons 10l aOOOib ary weight;were treated. Uokl and saver sola realised£o7fj,tß4. Sundry receipts, including interest,amounted to £ia,So4. Xha va.ue of the powersupplied oy tue croveininent oi iNew Zea-

land in pursuance oi the terms oi lie pur-chase oi the Horaiiora undertaking was£108,625. Those enree items amounted to£4U7j114. Expenditure m iNew i>ea*and andLondon, including development worn at themine, but excluaing taxes of ail kinds,amounted .to £290,284, leaving a gross profitof £116,824. Tne sum oi £*3,347 was paidor reserved for income-tax in London andNew Zealand, ,and £7917 had been writtenoff for depreciation of plant and machinery.

The balance remaining was £80,560, whichwith the balance of £32 190 forwardfrom 1927 made a total of £117,750. Theinterim dividend of Is a share paid in No-vember accounted for £19,590, 'eavmg a bal-ance of £68,160, out of which the directorsrecomenmded the payment of a final dividend"of la a share, absorbing £49,590, leaving£18,569 to be carried forward.

During the year 138,637cwt of new orewas developed. Ths reserves at December31st, 1928. were: In the general account213,319 tons wet weight, of an average assay

value of 325; in the suspense accounttona, of an average assay value of 368 id.The general account showed a reduction of

80,067 tons and the suspense account oi 45/

tons, a total of 80,524 tons. Although theresults of the working for the year had beengood, the results of the exploration and de-

velopment work had been very unsatisfactory.Deterioration with increasing depth had beenshown clearly in the records of the total orediscovered at each level, and two important

tests of the Martha lode during the year

had given additional proof of the impoverish-ment in depth. In November the positionwas very carefully considered by the com-pany's executive in New Zealand, and it wasrecommended that no further exploration atdepth should be undertaken. During thepast two years a carefully-considered pro-gramme had been carried out in all partsof the mine, including exploration at anumber of levels of the country rock sur-rounding the known reef system m the hopeof finding other ore bodies. That lateralexploration had satisfied the New Zealandexecutive that the ore bodies were confined•within the block bounded by the Martha.Fdward. and Koyal lodes, and worked by theWaihi and Waihi Grand Junction Com-panies through so many years. The NewZealand executive, therefore, had come tothe conclusion that for the future exlora-tion work should be limited to seeking outonly such blocks of pay ore as wcr* feltreasonably certain to exist. _

A tin prooosition in Siam had receivedanxious consideration during the year. Afterprotracted negotiations the directors, actingin conjunction with Tronoh Mines Limited,which was participating with Waihi, had con-tracted for the purchase of a tin-dredgingarea of about 6550 acres situated in theisland of Puket. One half of the propertywas in course of transfer into the name ofTronoh on behalf of . the participants, and itwas* hoped the rest would be transferredwithin two or three months. Tronoh wou'dtake one-third of the undertaking and "Waihitwo-thirds, and the two companies wouldshare in all respects on that basis.

"FRIGHTFULNESS"

TERROR IN AMERICA.

ENFORCING PROHIBITION.

HELPLESS VESSELS SHELLED.

(JBOlt ora OWN CO3BE3PONDENT.)

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.Some of the leading American Sun-

day newspapers have recently beenregaling their thousands of readerswith a detailed history of the exploitsof the notorious commerce raiderEmden, and now those same readersare being regaled with accounts of at-tacks upon helpless vessels headed forthe coast of the United States, at-tacks made upon the Coastguard ser-

vice, particularly on the AtlanticCoast.

The "season" opened with the sink-ing of the British registry sloop I'mAlone, 200 miles off coast, after therum-running vessel had been hotly pur-sued by two of the Coastguard boatsand fired upon at least sixty times,according to the evidence of CaptainRandall, of Nova Scotia, who, with therest of his crew dived into a stormysea when his ship was sinking afterbeing shelled by the American Coast-guard ship.

The next foreign vessel to undergoshelling was the Norwegian-registeredbanana boat Juan, which was fired onby a Coastguard patrol boat, and twoof the shots fired narrowly missedstriking the Norwegian ship as itsteamed up Chesapeake Bay towardsBaltimore.

Captain Karl Anderson, the masterof the vessel, and Paul E. Kesterson,the pilot, who brought the Juan fromuutside the Capes into port in Balti-more, protested to the Norwegian Con-sul in Baltimore. Kesterson wasquoted as saying that the last shotfired by the boat, marked C.G. 189,passed over the stern of the ship andstruck in the water about where theJuan would have been had the pilotnot swung sharply to starboard afterhearing the preceding shot.

When he hove to, said Kesterson, thecommanding officer of the Coastguardboat did not appear, but sent aboardtwo men, who asked to see the ship'spapers, and asked where she wasbound. They intimated th,ey thoughtthe banana cargo was a camouflage,but, after peering into the hold, seemedsatisfied there was no liquor aboard,Kesterson said. Captain Andersonsaid the only liquor aboard was six-teen bottles, listed in the manifest andstored in the ship's medicine chest.

After being permitted to proceed, theJuan continued to Baltimore and un-loaded her banana cargo. She waschartered by the United Fruit Com-pany.

Shooting Upheld.Action of the Coastguard boat in

firing at the Norwegian steamshipJuan in Chesapeake Bay, was justi-fiable, Treasury officials in Washingtonsaid after a report on the incident hadbeen filed with Assistant SecretarySeymour Mikel Mikelsen, in charge ofthe patrol boat.

Lowman said information had beenreceived there had been smuggling ofliauor from the West Indies by fruitships, and that the liquor was beingunloaded down Chesapeake Bay beforearrival in Baltimore. For this reasonthese vessels have been searched.

Lowman pointed out that the Coast-guard might at any time go on boarda vessel within four leagues of thecoast to examine the manifest underthe tariff Act.

Mikelsen's rfeport said that onsighting the Juan the Coastguard putup a flag signal to halt the ship, butthat there was compliance. A blankshot was fired, then a "sharp" shot,well clear of the ship. Getting no re-sponse, three more shots were fired insuccession, each shot closer to theJuan, the last falling 1200 feet fromthe vessel. The Juan then stopped.No contraband was found.

Two fishing boats, riddled with riflebullets from Coastguard guns, wereheld by the United States Governmentat the barge office pier in New Yorkharbour on the following day, andalthough officials said not a drop ofliquor was found on the capturedboats, the craft were held as suspectedrum runners.

The report from New York said:"The same tactics the Coastguard usedin sending the British schooner I'mAlone to the bottom were used in thecapture of the two fishing boats. Theywere sighted off Sandy Hook. TheCoastguard men signalled them toheave to and submit to a search. Themen on the fishing boats either failedto see the signal or refused to heedit. An any rate they did not changetheir course. The cutter opened firewith rifles and pursued the suspectedrum runners. Not until rifle bulletsbegan to splinter the sides of the twofishing boats did they heave to andsubmit to capture."

Wealthy American Pired On.Stuyvesant Fish, wealthy broker

and a member of one of New York'soldest families, said that his yachtRestless was stopped by men repre-senting themselves as prohibition en-forcement agents near the Statue ofLiberty in New York harbour late onSaturday night, and while he and hisfamily were held at pistol point, thevessel was searched from stem tostern.

Mr Fish told of the search after, sayinghe had failed to receive any word fromany enforcement agency regarding thestopping of his boat. Although he saidhe did not hear any shots, Mr Fishsaid his captain told him they hadbeen fired on, and- the agents them-selves during the search told him heand his family were lucky they didn'tget hit by machine-gun fire.

Mr Fish said he was at the wheelof his boat proceeding at a moderatespeed up the harbour on the Saturday,when he saw what he took to be aCoastguard boat approaching from theBrooklyn shore. When he saw theboat was headed for his yacht he saidhe turned his craft toward them,slowed down, as a gesture of re-assurance, and then put his ship backon her course. He then turned thewheel over to the captain. Shortlyafter, he said, the captain turned theboat at right angles to her previouscourse, and stopped the engines, callingto Mr Fish that they were being firedon.

When the other boat drew alongside,Mr Fish said he, his wife and theirtwo sons, 17 and 13, stared into themuzzles of several guns. One of themen, who he said was "labelled"979, then climbed aboard, searchedthe vessel and their baggage. Theyfound no liquor, so informed the othermen, who had remained in their boattold Mr Fish he was lucky he didn'tget hurt, and allowed them to pro-ceed.

Mr Fish said he showed them hislicence, and told them who he was be-fore the search, but they appearedunimpressed.

Officials of the Coastguard, Customsenforcement division, and the marinedivision of the police departmentdenied they had received any reportof the incident.

Outspoken American AdmiraL

"While the national excitement was

at its height owing to the sinking of

the I'dl Alone schooner and the severalfiring incidents upon other vessels Rear-admiral Charles P. Plunkett, formerlyof the United States Navy, told 300diners at the annua! banquet of theWhite Plains Chamber of Commerce,

near New York, that the United States"ha-n't a leg to stand on" in the caseof the sinking of the I'm Alone.

"The doctrine of the freedom of theseas protected that ship," he continued,"and as a nation we stand by that doc-trine. The revenue cutter had no busi-ness 'to fire on that vessel and sinkher when she was beyond the three-mile limit. They had no license toshoot at her, and the United Stateswill have to pay damages."

Under the caption, "Slaughter on theSea " the "New York Herald-Tribune"said: "To shell and sink a smuggler,carrving no guns, in a rough sea. at

hazard of life, comports ill with modernpunitive methods. The loss of aCanadian citizen as a result is a matterof the deepest regret, however flagrantmay have been the smuggling recordof "the ship. The parallel lies with an

officer of the law who needlessly shootsdown an unarmed criminal attemptingto escape. Every principle of humanejustice as of the seafaring code runsstrongly against such slaughter and riskof life."

The "New York Sun," commentingon the I'm Alone incident, said: "Thereis no question of the character of thevessel that was sunk by the Coastguard.

"There may be a question whethershe was inside the twelve-mile limitwhen first chased by the patrol boatWolcott. There may be a questionwhether the pursuit, first by the Wol-cott and then by the Dexter, was hot.But, assuming that Secretary Mellonis right in his statement that the patrolofficers are correct in both these re-spects, the fact remains that the BritishGovernment never abandoned the prin-ciple of the three-mile limit and neveracceded to the application of the rightof hot pursuit in a case begun outsidethe three-mile line. If the BritishGovernment has decided not to pressthis case, it undoubtedly is becauseof the notorious character of the I'mAlone, and not because London retreatsfrom her old contention. At that, itwould be well for the two Govern-ments to look calmly into the facts,possibly making it certain that nosuch incident, with its unpleasant re-actions on both sides of the Atlantic,shall occur again."

Canada's Protest.The Canadian Government formally

presented representations in Washing-ton to the State Department againstthe sinking by an American Coastguardboat of the Canadian rum-rummer, I'mAlone, in the Gulf of Mexico. TheCanadian Note was presented to Sec-retary Stimson by Vincent Massey, theCanadian Minister, but the contentswere not made public at the time.

While this was taking place at theState Department Attorney-Genera'Mitchell announced at the Depart-ment of Justice that cases against thecaptain and crew of the I'm Alone,who had been detained in New Orleanssince their capture, had been droppedbecause of lack of evidence. He ex-plained the Government was unable toobtain evidence to supplement admissions of the Captain regarding theactivities of the rum ship.

"The dismissal of the criminal caseagainsct the crew," the Attorney-General added, "is not to be construedas in any way affecting the legal ins-tification of the Coastguard cutters fortheir actions in ordering the I'm Aloneto submit to search and their pursuitand sinking of the schooner."

It is also understood the Canadian-protest was based on three points re-flated to the anti-rum smuggling treatyof 1924 between the United States andGreat Britain, and which is binding onCanada as one of the British Dominions.

These points were said to be: Thatdespite the contention of the Coast-guard that pursuit of the I'm Alonewas begun within the treaty limit ofone hour's sailing from shore, the actualpursuit appeared to have begun beyondthis limit as contended by Captain J.T. Randall, of the I'm Alone. Thatunder the treaty the right to hot pur-suit of a vessel, although allowed byinternational law if begun within thethree-mile limit, is not allowed underthe terms of the agreement, and, thatthe treaty does not allow the attack-ing and sinking of a vessel to makeeffective the right of the search andseizure allowed under the smugglingagreement. Whether the sinking ofthe vessel, with the accompanying lossof life and property, is justified in suchcases is also said to have been raisedin the Note.

Yachtsman to Sue.Coincident with admission that Cus-

toms patrol men had boarded the yachtof Stuyvesant Fish near the Statueof Liberty in New York harbour,Caruthers Ewing announced in NewYork that as attorney for StuyvesantFish he was preparing to file suitagainst members of the Coastguard,whom Fish charged with brandishingpistols and using profanity during thevain search for liquor on the Fishyacht Bestless.

Ewing said the civil action wouldask for nominal damages, and was be-ing instituted in an effort to obtain ajudicial determination of the facts.

When reporters reminded him thatthe yacht was searched by the Cus-toms patrol and not the Coastguard,Ewing said that if that was so thesuit would be directed against theCustoms men.

The defendants, he said, would becharged with false imprisonment andassault on members of the Fish party.The men who made the search, ques-tioned by their superiors, denied therewas any profanity or display of fire-arms.

A new order was subsequently issuedto members of the Customs Enforce-ment Bureau in New York, emphasisingthe necessity for courtesy and tact inboarding pleasure craft. The ordercontained no reference to the recentboarding of the yacht of StuyvesantFish in search of liquor, neither wasany mention made of Fish's complaintto Washington that the Customs menhad displayed firearms and had usedprofane language in the presence of hiswife and two young sons. Under thenew order the slogan of the service willbe "strict enforcement, with courtesyand tact."

DR. MILLIGAN AND HOSPITALBOARD.

TO THS EDITOR OF TH* PHES3.fcSir,—-There are many people in this

community who are puzzled and dis-mayed at the action of the HospitalBoard, ostensibly in the interest ofthe ratepayers in dispensing with theservices of Dr. Milligan as biochemistat the Public Hospital. My object inwriting this letter is to voice a protest,which, I think, will be endorsed by aconsiderable section of the people ofChristchurch, and which, 1 hope, willmove the Board to reconsider its action.

It is unnecessary for the purposes ofthis letter to say much in personalvindication of Dr. Milligan. He isadmittedly an expert in his work, aman intensely interested in applyingthe methods of science to the problemsof the health of the community. Hei's a keen and able research worker aswell as a courteous and painstakingmedical adviser. Both by virtue of hisposition and his natural interests, heis able to take a more detached andscientific interest in his profession thanthe ordinary practitioner and conse-quently can and does render valuableservices to the community by foster-ing an enlightened public interest inthe science of medicine.

Surely ©ven the B.M.A. will notdeny the layman's right of access tothe findings of science in medicine. Itmay or it may not be desirable thatany practitioner should constitute him-self the mouthpiece of science to thelayman, but it is surely desirable in acommunity as large as ours that thePublic Hospital should maintain scien-tific departments in connexion withtheir institution whose ideals shouldbe to increase and foster knowledge aswell as to apply it. It is well knownthat Dr. Milligan has fulfilled theseideals to a high degree. As a Britishpeople we claim an intellectual leader-ship in tho world. Per head of thepopulation we are, I expect, as wealthyas any, and yet our Hospital Boardquibbles over the expense of a fewhundred pounds to keep in existence adepartment whose potentialities areadmitted to be, perhaps, the greatestfor the future of medicine. I havebeen reminded that Sir Ernest Ruther-

| ford remarked when he was here lastI that he looked to biochemistry as themost promising field for the futureinvestigator. I have also been re-minded that Dr. Fenwick made thestatement in his recent report on hisdepartment that he looked to the bio-chemist, more than to anyone else, forthe solution of the difficult questionsahead of those seeking to master tuescourge of cancer.

It is impossible to believe that thehonorary staff are so conservative andunprogressive in their outlook as notto know the importance to the com-munity. of. a biochemical departmentin the Public Hospital. T am convincedthat all those who know Dr. Milliganor have had to do with his departmentare astonished at' the action of thehonorary staff of the Board and re-gard the move as a retrograde one.The money involved is too trivial toweigh against the advantages of keep-ing intact so important a department,and I hope everything will be done toreopen the question.

Let us as a British community ex-pect and demand of onr public boardsan outlook in conformity with theideals of the present era and not withthose of the Dark Ages.—Yours, etc.,

MUSSOLINI.

MR SMITH AND THE LITTLEMOUSE. .

(specials wbittm yoa TEE ?&MS.)

(By Nelle M. ScarJan.)ROME, April 3.

Mussolini is mellowing. The manwho saved Italy, banished the banana,and opposes votes for women, is losinghis truculenoe, his rough edges.

Mussolini has just enjoyed one of thegreatest triumphs of his career. Theyheld an election a week ago, and byover 8,000.W0 to a few nundred thou-sand Mussolini's regime was endorsedbv the people. . , ."You must not interpret this m

terms of our own elections. It was

not a case of voting for individuals or

even Parties. There was no campaign,

no speeches, policies, platforms, orslogans. There was on one side Musso-lini and his Regime, asking the peopleto say "si" (Yes) and no one daredto write an article, make a speech, orraise a voice against him. There wasno other side. That is the way to winan election,' and silence opposition.Being a secret ballot, a few had thetemerity to say <-no." but the over-whelming numbers of "yes" has madeit quite apparent that, whether hismethods are the best and wisest, Mus-solini has no uncertain mandate fromthe people.

The air is thick with rumours aboutthe Italian Dictator and his idiosyn- Jcracies and tyranny. But many ofthese stories may be traced to the"castor oil" exiles. It was a Socialistwho first discovered the efficacy ofcrude castor oil as a persuasive in-fluence. He gave it to a tax collector.(How many would like to follow hisexample?) Mussolini adopted it later.Anti-Fascists who opposed Mussolini'srise to power were given the option-castor oil or exile. Many, believingthat his reign would be brief, choseexile. That is some years ago. Theyare still in exile, and the triumph ofFascism last week must have beendevastating to their hopes of return.

Many of the strange stories that'float around emanate from these exiles,and are born of a desire to lower hisprestige in the outside world

Recently it was stated that he wasgoing to divorce his wife and marrya Royal Princess. As a matter of fact,Mussolini has only recently marriedhis wife. In his wild youthful days otSocialism, and revolt against the estab-lished order of things, he resentedeven the convention of marriage. Heand his wife lived together for manyyears by mutual agreement only.

Later he went through a civil cere-mony, but only three years ago washe married by the Church.

_

Nor wasthis merely to regularise his positionand his family in view of his nowexalted position. He does not care twohoots about what people say and thinkthat wav. He did it because he wantedto. He*has five children, the youngesta. baby, Romano, born two years ago.The oider ones are being well educatedand receiving every advantage.

Mussolini does not live in a palace.He occupies quite a small flat in theCity, and has one servant, a faithtuiold woman, to cook and care for hun.His wife and family live quite simplynear Milan. .

. ,.

Why does not Mussolini bring hiswife and family to Rome? An involvedhousehold would interfere with his in-

tensive life of work, and he permitsnothing, neither family, recreation,pleasure, to come between -him and histask, the regeneration of Italy. Thereis another reason. Like himself, hiswif is of simple origin. He will notsubject her to the embarrassment ofcriticism before others, born., to theand to whom ceremony is the routineof life And so he protects! her fromjest and jeer. -

.

Whatever mistakes Mussolini hasmade—and they are many—he must begiven credit for saving Italy from thewreck. There was no stable Govern-ment, .things were chaotic. Strikeswere recurring events, the Reds weregaining ground everything was slipshodand slovenly, out of repair, there wasno discipline, graft was rampant, thecountry was drifting hopelessly anddisaster was imminent. Then Musso-lini took hold, and applied drastic re-medies. He silenced opposition by clos-ing the anti-Facist Press, and imprison-ing or deporting those who did notagree with his policy. This was an actof tyranny, but he was faced with ap-palling difficulties.

To-day Italy is industrious, pros-perous, disciplined, and rapidly regain-ing her place among the great Powersof Europe. Probably he did the rightthing in the wrong "way. but he cer-tainly did it.

I have checked most of my informa-tion and observations with an Englishjournalist who has lived over 25 yearsin Italy. He denies that there is fric-tion between the Italian King andjlussolini, and. states emphatically thatwhen Mussolini

_

has art idea—he is

rather prolific of ideas —it is often theKing who guides and steadies the im-pulsive hand of the. Dictator in con-verting rhe idea into practical enact-ments.

Mussolini banned bananas from Italy,not because he thought bananas evil.But he decided that Italy must eatwhat Italy grew in the interests ortrade balance, and until the Italianbanana experiment in Northern Africabrings a national harvest to the mar-ket, Italy must do without bananas.I have not seen a single banana inRome. 0 nnrxAnd in that vote of over 8,000.000last week, there was not a woman'svote. The Italian women are far be-hind the other women of tlie Westernworld, though gradually little gropsand organisations are springing up anddoing the spade work towards emanci-pation. True, thev do a man s work- inthe fields, but not elsewhere. TheItalian middle and upper class womenare still hedged about by rigid con-ventions. The freedom accorded Eng-lish, American, and colonial womenwho travel alone, and make friendswithout formality and share the com-panionship of men. is Quite extraor-dinary in the eyes of Italy. The Ita-lian men, however, fully apprecite it.

All around Rome was a desert ofvolcanio sand and fever swamps. Thepatient oxen and primitive ploughcould not break this volcanic crust, butnow Ford tractors and super-ploughsare breaking it up. and turning it intofertile fields. And the swamps aroundthe mouth of the Tiber are beingdrained, and turned into rich dairylands. At present all the milk andhutter comes from northern Italy, andcertainly the quality one gets in Romeis verv second rate.

Apart from the stabilising of theGovernment, and stopping the rotgenerally, one of Mussolini's greatestachievements has been the settlementof the "Roman Ouestion " When theState took Rome from the Pope in

1870 and made it the capital of aunited nation, the Catholics harh,mreda profonnd sen*e of injustice re-sentment ncainst the reicm'n<rmonnt wit-** r«<5°rT'at'ons. Th"*Pone« accented the position. andremained ''prisoners" in theVatican since 1870.

In the settlement of this question, itwas not a matter of territory thatPopo Pius XI. wanted, but status andguarantees. As Cardinal Gasoarri said<r We do not want trams and tramstrikes to add further to our prob-lems." Tn fact they asked for thevery . minimum of territory, a tmvnatch around the V*tic«n. and a fewv.n''dine<! outside which foTn the newVatican State. The treaty has nnt vetVen ratified, hut no one anticipatesnn- in that direction.

This settlement has considerablyMussolini's

it has removed the old feeling of injus-tice under which many of the old noblefamilies held aloof from the State,and has made way for perfect loyaltyto Church and State, which are no

longer divided by this problem.The main reason why the Pope wanted

Temporal Power or the status of anearthly sovereign, is that as head of aChurch of 300,000,000 members, scat-tered in every country in the world,when Italy came into conflict with anation, the Pope, as an Italian subject,was cut off from his Church and hispeople in the country Italy was fight-ing. With the rights of an independentsovereign the Pope is not involved inItalian political quarrels, or wars, orthose of any other country. The Vati-can State is a neutral nation, and cancarry on its religious work all overthe world, no matter what countriesare at war.

Another of Mussolini's achievementswas the abolition of all secret socie-ties. Unlike the British Freemasons,the Italian type was political and anti-religious. It had so honeycombedItaly that it controlled army promo-tions, dominated industry, and circum-scribed art.

The old English journalist, who knowsItaly from soup to nuts, told me thatmen were forced to join the Masons,otherwise they received no contractsin business, their designs in architec-ture were never accepted, no responsiblepost was entrusted to them, and nopromotion put pips on their shoulders.

Mussolini, by encouraging the bigones to turn "Queen's evidence," anagranting them immunity from punish-ment, netted in a big haul of lesserones, and his drastic punishments sooncleaned them all out. Many may again

question his methods, but he achievedhis objective. He also wiped out theBlack Hand gang, and so rid Italy oftwo Becret organisations which hadthrived on graft and terrorism. TheDictator's fight against secret societiesgoes back to the days when he was ared-hot Socialist. He was after tbemthen.

In the early experimental days o£ tri-umph, Mussolini was harsh, oftenbrutal. His dynamic energy and forcethat swept him to power would brookno delay, and he took the quickest way.Ten years Ago he was bottom -of thepoll when lie stood for election inMilan. To-day he is one of the greatdominating forces in Europe.

He is still a poor man—money meansnothing to him —and a lonely man, forfew can keep pace with this whirlwind.A little sad sometimes, as he discovershow few real friends and loyal com-rades vare to be found in the maelstromof tyrannic politics. In most of hi®photographs Mussolini is shown withflashing eye, and chin thrust out defi-antly, his hand at the Roman salute.But Mussolini can now smile, and awistful look creeps momentarily intothose challenging magnetic eyes, andthe harsh mouth can take oi> a curveof tenderness. Mussolini is mellowing.And what was once a vague terror, thenadmiration, is now becoming venera-tion for the great leader. At first it wasfear, but devotion is springing up. LikeNapoleon, he has won affection. To-dayin Italy there are men who would diefor Mussolini. This is a new phase; itis only just beginning.

I have never heard the name "Mus-solini" mentioned ia the streets ef

Kome. If you should by chance use it,startled glances will greet you from allsides; they seem to betray a warningthat you have been indiscreet.

"Why don't you do this!" you ask."Mr Smith won't let us."You don't say Mussolini, it is always

"Mr Smith," or "a little mouse."This measure of caution still lingers;

it is the aftermath of fear followingthose first drastic measures of disciplinedirected at those who criticised or op-posed him. There is still espionage,evesdropping, but this is slowly pass-ing. And even the surveillance oiertelegrams and letters is relaxing, thoughit is believed that certain sections othe mail is watched—some of the FresSsection. , •,]

Haze was produced in the SiveratreamHandicap at Wingatui yesterday. Hemoved off slowly, and was near the tailof the field throughout. lie should beseen to better advantage over a mileand a quarter to-morrow.

Countersign made her reappearance inthe Provincial Handicap at the DunedinMeeting yesterday, but made a poorshowing, being well back throughout,and only had one horse behind her atthe finish.

After the Provincial Handicap atWingatui yesterday Money Mine was■old by C. Gieseler to the Southlandowner, Mr W. Swale, at a price roundabout SOOgns.

The Janefield Handicap at Wingatuiyestordav provided a closely contestedfinish, and several of the candidateshad their chances jeopardised by the

« leaden racing in a bunch from the topof the straight. Sweet Kefrain was anotable sufferer, as she was disappointedwhen making a run on the inside at thedistance, and but for this and earlierinterference would have been in themoney. Bulolo was also hemmed in onthe rails, and had no opportunity to getout at the critical stage.

Tke Dove appeared to have a goodWinning chance when she entered thestraight in the Janefield Handicap atthe Dunedin Meeting yesterday, butstopped suddenly at the distance post.It was subsequently discovered that shehad been galloped on during the race,With the result that an old wound onone of her legs had been reopened, andahe will not be able to start to-morrow.

A. J. Poart's mishap off The Babein the Otago Steeplechase on Saturdaycame at a bad time for him, as he wasengaged to ride Lancer, Kaikaliu, andMainspring in yesterday's engagements.'Peart sustained a break on the pointof the shoulder and will be kept outof the saddle for a few weeks.

Great Star added to his reputationl»y his decisive win in the open sprintat Wingatui yesterday. He had a.speedy galloper in Caterpillar to settleand the fact of his beating her m thefastest time of the Meeting. for sixfurlongs entitles him to the high opin-ion always held of him. He will pro-bably be given a let-up from racing form wnile and may be produced again atthe Grand National Meeting. On hi#two races at Dunedin lie certainly look#a "Winter Oup proposition.

The win of Overhaul at Ellerslie yes-terday was freely anticipated by Dun-'edin followers of the stable, and therewill be a good deal of support forth-coming from that quarter for the Trac- •tor gelding in the Grand Nationalhurdle race.

Impertinence ran her best race forsome time in the Janefield Handicapat Wingatui yesterday, and but forbeing one of the victims of the bunch-ing of the leading division over thelast furlong she would have been in aplfto*.

Waihemo showed marked improve-ment in his engagement at Dunedinyesterday and better results may beexpected from him later as a result ofthe trip.

The veteran steeplechaser, Pamplona,is at present in work in P. T. Hogan'sstable at Washdyke. He has been usedaa a schooling companion for Fabriano,and it is hoped to. get some more rac-ing out of him.

Subsequent to Malmsey's win in theProvincial Handicap at the DunedinJockey Club's Meeting yesterday, itwas announced that as the result otthe stewards' enquiry, 0.

The racing fromstart to finish was exceptionally good,and for this the handicapper, Mr I*.C. Thomas, was mainly responsible.The track was in good order thoughnot exceptionally fast, and speculatorsshowed their confidence by investingon the day the sum of £38,283 10s,against £36,040 for the second day lastyear, making for the meeting a totalof £64,940 as against £61,287 10s at asimilar gathering last year.

NOTES ON THE RACING.Eileen Wood Improves.

There was spirited betting in the Pro-gressive Handicap and Tot Logan andEileen Wood, the best backed oair onthe lirst day, again carried the bulliof the nior.ev. Eileen Wood racedjust a bit better than on the openingday and J. McLennan, her driver, used

! the whip to some purpose, and he hadno idea of being caught in a doubtfulmood, as was the case on the first day.The Ashburton-trained mare won nicelyon this occasion, although driven rightout. She is a good type, and will wingood races amongst the trotters, al-though she mav not reach the first flight.Peter Lin went a surprisingly good racein view of his form on the openingday, and the business on the totalisatorreallv suggested that he had a chance.The honours of the race, however, wentto Quickfire, who from 60 yards behindtrotted a fine race once oil the journey,and if he can be persuaded to do hisbest on future occasions, there is noknowing how far he might go. Likea number of the El Carbine breed he hasa torrent of speed, but is inclined tomix his gait. Koro Peter went a finerace throughout, and there is no doubtthat this gelding is one of the best un-hoppled trotters of his age ever racedin New Zealand. He is a well-grownone for his years, and it would not besurprising to find him as he gains ma-turity turning out one of the best trot-ters the Dominion has known.

Tot Logan's form was disappointing,for when she dropped out she appearedto be going particularly well. Lone-some, Bon Elect, Victor Bingen, Bon-eta, and Bepute all gave mixed dis-plays.

Delightful Wilis.Big business at the closing of the

totalisator was responsible for sendingSir Author out a better backed favour-ite than Lady Cello, for the HarewoodHandicap, and while the latter lostground at the start, most of the othersmoved away correctly. It was not longbefore Delightful was in front, anddriven a heady race by G. McKendry,he lasted out the journey well, defeat-ing Sir Author, who, from the backmark, had been forced to cover a gooddeal of extra ground. Delightful hasonly recently joined G. McKendry'sstable, having been purchased from MrJ. F. McKendry, owner of Logan Chief,etc. The good win and a handsomedividend first time out, must leave De-lightful as a very cheap proposition. Heis a fine pacer, and has had to do big'things each time he has been placed.The most pleasing feature of Sir Au-thor's display lay in the fact that hefinished well under punishment and itwould not be .surprising to find himreaching high-elaaa company ere long.He was finishing just as well as thewinner. Bap, who started at an out-Bide prioe, was in the picture all theway, but lie struck two particulraly goodones in the winner and runner-up. Heis, however, more than useful, andshould win races. Lady Cello, surpris-ingly well backed, would have been agood deal closer than fifth had she notmixed her gait at the start. GoldenOre, although finishing fourth, did notshow the brilliance expected <>f' him.Denver's Doll went a good race withoutever looking a winner, but outside Au-drey Dillon and Pet Locanda the re-mainder were not dangerous.

A Close Finish.The Paparua Handicap provided a

great race, and in the bettinu thebracketed pair, Dundas Boy and JeanMcMwyn ? were made a decided firstchoice, with Harvest Child also warmlysupported. Dundas Boy made a goodbeginning, but was content to he ina handy position until three furlongsfrom home, when Berry asked him forhis best. At this stage Travis Ax-worthy, after having made all the pace,faded out rather badly, and this pos-sibly persuaded the driver of Linkmanto maKe ail haste for home. "The movewas a premature one and, after leadinginto the stright, he was challenged onall sides by Trimmer, Dundas Boy, -andHarold Thorpe, with Loagn Chief vain-ly trying to find an opening. It wasperhaps fortunate for the leaders thatLogan Chief did not find an opening,for he appeared full of running andmight have won had the opportunitypresented itself. Dundas Boy has re-deemed all the early promise heshowed and he stayed on better thananything else in the race. He is byBrent Locanda, and from this sourcehe probably gets his staying powers.Trimmer surprised by the manner inwhich he stayed out the two miles, and,being a thick-winded horse, the raceson the first day possibly did him alot of good. Linkman, more patientlyhandled, might have done a lot better,but Harvest Child, though finishingfourth, was not up with the leadersuntil the final pinch came. Most ofthose engaged were well beaten whenthe straight waa reached, but the timeof 4.29 4-5, from a 4.31 mark, set theback-markers something to do.

Promising Juveniles.A good-looking lot of three-year-olds

paraded for the Maturity Handicap,and J. Bryce's pair, Alexis and Ola-trice, were the beet-backed. The for-mer lost ground at the start, andOlatrice did not show speed that sug-gested she would ever get to the lead-ers. In fact it seemed that WildBingen waited on Brent Light andCushla d'Or until they had spent them-selves, and he then came away to winlike a good one. Wild Bingen pacedwell throughout the race, but he mayhave been a bit lucky in the fact thatKelp was allowed to lose ground overthe first mile which left him a practi-cally hopeless task towards the finish.Over the last three furlongs he showedplenty of speed, and it seemed that hadhe been made use of in the early stageshe might have beaten the winner. WildBingen, however, is a smart pacer andpreviously won the Maiden Handicapat Invercargil) in February last. Hewas patiently handled by the southernhorseman, J. Walsh. Brent Lightshowed promising form by acting aspace-maker for the greater part of thejourney, failing only over the last partand, though on the small side, he maybe exnected to do better. Cushla d'Oris a fine type of pacer—a typical Revde Oro. who commenced well and dideverything n good horse should do. Hewill better this performance ere long.Lady Wrack showed speed, but failedto stnv, and of the remainder Speed-light looks the most promising.

An Outsider.Lady Fan, not generally regarded as

a good stayer, surprised ©veil her con-nexions by tne manner in which sheled in the Elevation Handicap fromend to end, paying a dividend of closeon £4O. The &peed was not great overthe first part, and while the majoritywere quite content to let Lady Fasmake the pace, other drivers were jeo-pardising their chances in doing so.The result was that Lady Fan couldstill finish with her accustomed speed?

and the more solid trotters were leftwitli too much to mako up over thelatter part. Peter Lin showed greatbursts of speed, but he lost ground atthe start, and All Peters had an in-terrupted run. Bingeti Starr, withhalf the journey covered, looked a veryprobable winner. but he faded outrather dismallv over tha last half mile,and he may do better at a later datewhen the limit is not so long as ( itwas vesterday. Nelson Ata was theonlv other to trot at all soundly al-though Tonic, who was interfered within the early stages, showed himself pos-sessed of plenty of speed.

A Popular Win.The Advance Handicap rosuiieu m

a very popular win tor toiik Thread,who, "kept well back ill the field overthe first part, came with an all-con-quering run over the last three fur-longs and buried the rest for speed.When Silk Thread made his burst Car-dinal Logan was at his wheel and thepair for the next three furlongs lookedhorses of a class removed trom theothers. Silk Thread carried on thefinish to win very nicely, while Car-dinal Logan had had enough asthe post was reached, and ho finisheda, very narrow margin ahead of Vesu-vius, who did not get- the best of pas-sages. When the horses returned tothe birdcage R. B. P'axico received agreat reception for it was the firstwinner he had driven at Addington.The winner showed great speed and ap-pears to be now developing the goodform he promised «hen he won theWellington Gold Cup last year. Daphnede Oro finished fourth and showed thatshe is nearly regaining her best form,while the displays of Lingiield. St.Maura, and Final McKinney were fullof promise. Jean McElwyu and Qualitywera never prominent.

From End to End.Neerson won the Tebgraph Handi-

cap from end to end after a race thatwas devoid of interest until the lasthalf mile was entered upon, when GreyCloud bridged a long gap and chal-lenged the leader. The effort was justtoo much for the grey pacer, and Neer-son, responding gamely, struggledhome. Trimmer looked like makingthings interesting approaching thestraight, but at a critical stage he wentto a break. But for this happeninghe would probably have won, for hewas going great guns at the time. O'fthe remainder. Dick Logan went thebest race.

A Past Mile.The Final Handicap, a mile saddle

race, saw 15 starters, but the contestwas decided in a light that gavefew an opportunity of following it withcertainty. From the start the coloursof Nelson Fay and Young Bingen wereprominent, but before the half milepost was reached St. Bridget was withthe leaders and putting on a breakgoing round the top turn, she won vervdecisively. She had a good run allthe way, and, nicely handled by G.Caddy, she won in 2.14 2-5. from a216 mark. While the winner wonnicely there was a great go for secondplace, and White Sun just managedto stave off Loeran Hanlon. White Sunlooks a sood type of saddle horse andLogan Hanlon has not finished win-ning.

Lancer's Impressive Victory.

Antrim Boy was withdrawn from theOtcgo Hurdle Handicap owing to lamenessand in a good betting race Lancer andTroilus monopolised the investments.& hundred tickets separating them. Thepublic judgment was correct, as this P®'rbad the finish to themselves. Heis.erwas the leader from the start and enteredthe back stretch in front of Bristling,Troilus, Lancer, and Nine of Spades, *\harn-cliffe tailing off a long way back last. Tfc;»was th» order passing the stand the firsttime, but going out of the straight Troilustook charge, aad led along the back fromNine of Spades, Lancer, and Heisler. Bright-ling losing h!s place. Lancer moved up toTrcilus rounding the far tura, aad was onhis quarters over the last fence. The twosettled down to s tussle, but Laacer proveathe better stayer, and won fairly comfort-ably by » length. The tfcird horae,

Nineof Spades, was four lengths away. Wharn-cliffe, who was a furlong awav at one part,»ade up a lot of ground in the last cir-cuit, and finished ia fourth place, six leagthsfrom Nine of Spades. Brightlins and

Terehu led tothe back, but dropped his rider at the sevenfvrlong poet fence.

Kaikaiu recorded a popular victory lor hispresent owner, who had had no return fromnim since ho purchased him at this Meetingtvft'jvo months ago. Now that the veterangelding has become sound ajrain he will winmore etec-plochaces, as the b'g fencua offerhim little trouble.

A Dead Sett.Investors went solidly for Latin Quaricr

and Narrative in the concluding event, andtheir judgment was very nearly being cor-j-oct. Ronaki and Wayward showed out fromthe start from Fairy Herald and LatinQuarter, but as the straight was approachedthe favourite joined tho leaders and was infront commencing the home run. Narrativechallenged Lntin Quarter at the distance,b-it just aa the latter had Karrative baatcntha Wost Coaster. Miss Mercia, put in anappearance from the middle of the followingbunch, and a great eet-to ensued. MissMercia had her head in front a few vardsoff the post, but in a final (3ort LatinQuarter got up to record a dead-heat. Narra-tive wa-a oniy a neck away, cloioly followedby Fairy Herald, and then came at biggerintervals Carnot and Wayward The finishwas one of the best of the Meeting, andbrought a most successful day's racing to aclose.

Latin Quarter *»a responsible for a gamefinish, but the honours ratted witfi MissMercia, who waa iNrt prominent until thestraight waa reached. _ She ran a good raceon Saturday, but this was evidently over-looked by the public, as she returned doublefigures for tho dead-heat. Fair;.* Herald rana solid ra«e and will improve in later en-gagements. Carnot also did well after beingcme oi the tail-endera early, and e successfor him is not far distant. Wayward wasattain disappointing, after having everychance.

NOTES ON THE RACING.

[THE PRESS Special Serriee.]

WELLINGTON, June 3.A material improvement in the form of

Modern enabled her to score a decisive vic-tory in the Hack Hurdles. Sneerer wasagain tho eariy leader, t>ut the favourite

Bank) soon ran up, and Kueerer wasaoue with at the end ol flva furioags, Ked.dank having charge from Kalcauponga, Tres-ham, and i'ole Star. On the home turnRed Bank lod from Tresham, Modem, andRakauponga. Modern waa first over thelast fence, and won by five or six length*from Tresham who beat Red Bank by twolengths. Kakauponga was fourth, and thencame Sir Moment, Lady Gay, and I*eshwa.Modern won very easily. Tresham lookeda certainty most of the way, and won onthe turn, but he tired over the last bit.It was not a bad effort for a beginner. RedBank's poundage stopped him at finish,and the others had no chance. Noticeable,and distinctly so. was the inability of LadyGay and Sneerer to make a showing, thusproving the first day's form so far as theywere concerned to be what it looked, worth-

The Maiden Hack Scurry was run in twodivisions, and the best backed horses, TrenchRaid and Naselle, were both in the firstdivision, the third favourite, Animated,being in the second. Grattan jumped awaybest in the first lot, and led Roundelay,Warzone, and Naselle. On the turn, Grat-tan was attended by Warzone, Catuna,Naselle, Moutoa Fame, and Roundelay, thefavourite having been knocked back to last,Grattan led into the straight, and won bya length from Warzone, who beat Naselleby two lengths. Catuna was fourth, fol-lowed by King Hal, Trench Raid, Roundelay,Adventure, and Moutoa Fame. Grattan wonfairly comfortably, but Trench Raid was un-lucky, Kahumai threw his rider beforethe start, bolted, and the field was dis-patched without him.

In the second division there was a big sur-prise. Kotaki Eka jumped away very smart-ly. and soon had a break on Pompadour,Werata, and Animated. Kotaki Eka s lead•n the turn was four lengths, and once in

the straight Werata wore him down, andwon by a neck. Great Lady was a length

»nd a half away third, followed by Pompa-dour, Animated, Wine Tray, and Painting.The winner's performance wm ra_^ e*

pressiva, as he had to give Kotaki Eka agood start. He is by Acre from Temper-fnce, dam of Terapean, and is raced on leaseby B. Burgess from Mr r. Jensen.

THE TARIFF.AUSTRALIA'S PROBLEM.

SCIENTIFIC ADJUSTMENTSNEEDED.

(MO* OCtt OWN CORMSJ>OIfDB>»T.)

SYDNEY, May 23.

Australia appears to be an*jo, *Bl«J jawaiting the report to be published jshortly of the expert economists who

have been inquiring into the tariff prob-

lem, and it will probably point to the

need of a revision in the tariff schedulein such a way that it will penaliseindustry. The report will certainlycome at an opportune time mthe recent statement by the Ministerfor Justice (Mr Gullet), that increasesin the cost of living, caused by un-

employment, which were felt mostheavily in Sydney and Melbourne, madethe attainment of an effective tariffvery difficult. . ..

The economists who are preparing thereport are not acting in an officialcapacity, but they are such authoritieson their subject that the Governmentis bound to take notice of their recom-mendation. Perhaps they are savingAustralia from another Royal Commis-sion. It is predicted that the reportwill'not be directed merely to the set-tling of the issues between free tradeand protection, but will deal with theeffects of tariff protection on Aus-tralia as a whole, and also on Aus-tralia's international relations.

One of the main points that all eco-nomists are striving to settle is theeffect of overseas borrowing on thetariff of Australia. Some of the moneylent to Australia comes here in theform of goods. To tax those goodsthrough the tariff is to treat Australia'sown borrowings as a source of revenue.This aspect was considered by the re-

cent British delegation. One authoritysaid the other day that the real sub-ject for discussion now was whether, infact, the tariff problem was a merematter of substance or of bookkeeping.It was possible that any defects mightbe rectified by a revision of the methodof keeping the books, without a changeof policy. That aspect of the matterhad been insufficiently considered inthe past. Borrowing inevitably meantadditional imports, with the resultantincrease in the taxes levied at the Cus-toms House. Some people were tooeager to overlook the fact that this wasnot free revenue.

Not only did it affect Australia, hepointed out, but also her internationalrelations. Australia was only just be-ginning to realise how her tariffs werewrapped up with her external policy.As a country that had adopted protec-tion, it was all the more necessary forAustralia to make her position clear.It was in that way that expert eco-nomists could help. Australia had atariff board whose duty it was to in-quire into increases and decreases inthe tariff, but it did not have a bodyof experts who could consider changesin the tariff schedule and closelyscrutinise every demand. It would bethe duty of such experts to presenteach matter to the board in such away that all the facts would be con-sidered, and not only those which par-ticular interests desired should be con-sidered.

It is generally conceded that Aus-tralia's methods of dealing with thetariff are more or less haphazard. Theboard is often swayed by the conditionof a particular industry, and it is fear-ed that it makes its recommendationswithout considering the combined effectof its operations over an extendedperiod.

A BRIGHT GAME.

WELLINGTON DEFEATS

CANTERBURY.

great pace maintained.

Thero were many bright movementsfn the interprovincial match Canter-bury v. Wellington, which was playedyesterday on the Lancaster Park ovalnml resulted in a wyi for the visitorsby i_'3 points to 10. The weather was

thill, arid i" consequence there was

only a moderate attendance.Neither n-h- put its best team m

tlm field, ilio idea being to try outKinto f| t tin- yomijier player.; with aview t'> ascertaining how they werelikely to {.iia|»- later on. Hesid's tins,represent at iv«-s of Lm»4 h Provinces v er<-placing in the All Black t ri;> 1 at Vling'on. Nevertheless, the spectatorshad little i tor complaint at thequality ol the. fare provided. Canter-bury raan.'iwil tu end the iirst spella lew |toints t<> the good, but thename had not U-<?n long in progressafter tho interval when it became ap-parent that Y\ ellingtori were the morefikelv to mn, and .--o it proved, foruithin fiie minutes they had scored a.jwnoltv pon! and ohtained a convertedtry, which put them four points ahead.Although Canterbury increased theirneore, Wellington never lost the lead,rventually finishing with seven pointsin hand. ..

The game provided plenty ot thrills,:arid there wore few spectator.* whowanted to leave the ground l>"or tothe sound of the whistle, when Can-terbury were doing most of the attacu-irig. "Play was fast throughout, be-injr first, at one end ot th« field andthen at the other, the players stand-ing tho pace remarkably well. TheWellington forwards appeared heavierthan the local pack and showed to ad-vantage in tho line outs, while they

worn abio to got an ample share of tuel.all from tlio scrums. Their breakingaway, too, was at times good to see,but tbo Red and Blacks never re-laxed their eflorts and contested everyiii<-h of trrntory.

The first score of the canio was ob-tained as a result of tho local for-wards' following up and it looked asthough everv man was out to catchthe eyes of the selectors. There weresome splendid workers in the visitorspack, but none was better than blyand Shearer, who were indefatigablein 'opening nj> the panto from the hueout, Culliriiore being another goodman. Tho Canterbury forwards who•stood out for good work were Mont-gomery, Suckling, and Manchester,while Scrimshaw did a lot. of usefulwork as wing-forward.

Lanco Johnson, who played for the

Christ,chnrch Club a few years ago,■was tho brains of the visitors attack.(Jetting the hall promptly, he seldommissed a chance to in ground withit. If there was an opportunity forhis supporting backs to score he sentIho ball out to thein in a flash ami,if he thought that more ground wouldbe gained by a kick, then the ballwas punted to an open space from whichit generally bounced into touch. Again,if it appeared that the defence waslikely to upset the-attackers, he wouldkick the ball over tlie full-back's headand let his backs try to get first toit. fly ''way of variation he decided inthe .second spell to "give it a go on hisown" and to tho .surprise of the de-fenders lie pushed past them touchdown close to the posts. ./Without.Johnson, Wellington, it is sate to say.»ould not have beaten Canterbury.

Next to Johnson the best back onthe fieM was Hart, who scored tyrotries of the type a crowd would along wav to see. Most of Hart's triesare of the sensational order anil thoselie got yesterday were in that category.He must be tlie speediest back in('hristcbureh to-day. Wylie, his vis-a-Tis, had no chance beside him when-iever Hart had a yard 01* two to workitt, .It ■was sheet, pace and dash thatenabled him to get both tries and itWas a pity that he was practicallystarved 4"or- tho ball. Norrie and Brownplayed a fair game, but the latter found,|fgt.erspn too fast for him. indi-cated, Wylie, one of the Wellingtonwiiig-thrfce-quarters, lacked piace. Hadhe had not been so handicapped, it isprovable that he would have been able?to add to Wellington's score. Pelhamgave a good display at five-eighths withJohnson, being responsible for somebright* movements; while the two Can-terbury men, Innes and Alexander, didhotter than was expected. Page was re-liable behind the Canterbury pack, bothon attack and defence and Julian, Wel-lington "s half, after an indifferent open-ing showed himself possesesd of pluclcand initiative, justifying the good re-ports that had reached Ch.ristchurchfpHc'crning him. Roberts, the Canter-

bury fuill-back, gave a creditable dis-play seeing that it was his first matchin big football, and ho made few seri-ous mistakes. Cormaek, the Wellington

• custodian, showed himself to be a goodmail although lie let Hart beat Uim

. 011 two occasions. The first time hejust managed to touch the winger's

'jersey, but'could not hold him. It wasunlikely, however, that many men in asimilar position would have got as near

.him at all. Both full-backs excelled inliijc-kicking.

THE PLAY. •

i •■■■■■• . • ■Wellington pressed until Roberts

'line-kicked superbly to half-way.Brown gained a lob of ground for Can-terbury with a punt and follow-up, ;Jid.Roberta took a freo-kick, .near thetwenty-live, the ball going jost outsidethe post. Wylk> was pulled ' out inthe Canterbury twenty-five, and in alied ru»li Montgomery gave an un-

; lucky forward pass. Gcxid • dribblingby the -Wellington forwards took back«ll the gain. Norrie beat Pelham andJohnson badly at midfield. Then there>as a dramatic thrust by Canterbury,and Brown was tackled only just intime. Wellington cleared w;th a greatfreo-kick. Page broke through- at half-way and took the ball to near the line.A uliort punt bounced off the Welling-ton full-back, and Brown,ran up and.Scored an easy try. Roberts converted.J rota near touch.

TKis " afternoon, in a match, atI'ark, the available Rugby strength of theDominion contended for places in the NewZealand team which is to tour Australia.Though anything like combination could notbe looked for in a conglomeration of playersdrawn from all parts of the Dominion rota little individual brilliance was in evidence,and the material was on hand. to shake aowninto quite a respectable playing force afterthe team has had a few games. A notice-able weakness was the scrummaging Manytimes ecruins, after going nown, buckled,and the players went sprawling on the tunIt was freelv admitted that radical stepswill have to be taken to put things rightin this department cf Sew Zealand Rugby

The Whites had the advantage of a lightnortherly breeze and the sun in the firstspell. Steere beat Xepia in a dive for theball, and Heazelwood goaled with a filekick. It was not long before Porter wentover for a. try in a bandy position, whichHeazelwood just failed to improve. Daliey\va3 playing a. very heady game behind tboProbables' pack. The Blacks then openedt'ceir scoring account, passing between "Water-man, Oliver, and Dalley ending in theProbables' skipper crossing the line to runround right behind the posts. Isepia's at-tempt at goal hit the upright and ebounded.The scrum work was anything but good. Eachtime the packs went down the Black scrumwould collapse like a houss of. cards. Insome very hard tackling McWillianis wasinjured, and had to retire, Snow (Nelson)taking his place. Lilburne, who was play-ing a finished game at first live-eighths fortlie Possibles, broke away and made a strongrun, which sent Hook '-ver between t.heposts. Heazelwood easily goaled. Lil-burne again made a. beautiful cpeiiingwhich let Stringfellow away, andthe Wairarapa centre swerving and dummy-in? went through to score a pretty try.Heazlewood made a splendid kick and theWhites led by 18 points to 3.

The selectors tried out some new playersin the second spell. On the I'rohables sideTrotter (Mackenzie County) replaced Rusli-brook at wing three-quarter, and Mase andCarleton took the places of Bird and Palmerin the forwards. On the other side D. John-ston (Taranaki) replaced Lilburne at five-eighths, C. Johnson (Southland) took Ley'splace at half,' and O. Batchelor (Southland)EMarslin (Otago), ami E. R. _ Thomas(Poverty Bay) replaced Steere, Freitas, andPalmer in tho forwards.

The opening of the second spell wasmarked by some very effective tackling.Each player was downed as soon as lie re-ceived the ball, and the field was strewnwith prostrate formß. Nepia did a coolbit of work when lie shook off Watermanbehind the Black goal line and kicked outat the quarter mark. Porter started a pass-ing movement in midfield, but Trotter inter-cepted.and streaked at * great pace for thegoal line. Oliver missed a beautiful chanceto score by stumbling just as he took apass. However, the White forwards were instrong , support and Coulston scored close tothe posts. Gundy made a .weak attempt togoal. Heazelwood was a trifle too cool whenhe ran back beyond the quarter mark to getin his kick. The ball rebounded from a

. burly Black forward and a White player gotoff-side, whitli enabled* Nepia to land a foodpenalty goal. Bailey was nearly over froma scruin, and a little later Kivell hoppedover the line for Nepia to kick another goal.Tie scores were 18 to 11 in the Whites'favour. Souter here retired with an in-jury and, was replaced by Palmer. Thestandard of play was-now a great improve-ment : oa that of. the first spell. Heazelwood,playing an excellent game vat full-back, .in-tercepted a pass in his own twenty-five andmade a sensational run to the Black line,where Nepia held him up. EventuallyThomas crossed for a try which • Heazelwoodfailed to .improve. Dalley sent out a longpass, .which Jet Oliver away, and the Can-terbury . five- eighths raced away to score inthe corner.

A STERN CONTEST.HAWKE'S BAY BEAT WAIRARAPA.

(press association telegram.)

NAPXER, Jane 3.In a hard, and at times, very fast game,

characterised by frequent stoppages throughinjuries to players, Hawke's Bay defeatedWairarapa at Napier this afternoon by 9points to 3. The match was played on aspringy turf, and was witnessedby over 6000spectators. The winning team was an exceed-ingly youthful one, fit and full of spirit, andalmost from the start showed to advantageagainst the heavier but slower Wairarapa fif-teen. - Though it was by no means faultlessRttgby, it was open and interesting to watch.Hawke's Bay held the advantage for fullytwo-thirds of the time, and except for anoccasional rally on Wairarapa's part most ofthe attractive back work was done by thewinners.

Cooke naa the most outstanding figure inthe visitors' rearguard, but very seldom washe allowed to operate. He was quite over-shadowed by Ruru, a young Te Ante Collegeback playing on the Hawke's Bay wing forthe first time. Ruru was always spectacular,and often brilliant. His popularity was sharedby Jimmy Mill, who was as tricky as ever,and South. The home back line was vastlysuperior, and the forwards, if beaten in thetight, outshone the opposition pack in theloose. The Shield holders' display, in spite o£the fact that they had several good menabsent at the All Black trials, was not im-pressive.

Over-eagerness on the part of both sides■was responsible for a succession of scrums inthe first fifteen minutes of the game, when nofewer than half a dozen hold-ups occurredthrough injuries to players. The Hawke'sBay full-back and a Wairarapa forward hadto retire. The visitors' forwards held theupper hand at the beginning, but the Bay'sfaster pack combined with the nippy backsin'a series of dangerous movements that hadthe Wairarapa line in jeopardy. For a con-siderable period the Bay forwards stormedthe Green line, and the backs swung into%ction with consistent regularity, only sterntackling saving a score. Emergencies werecalled on again, when another Wairarapaman was taken off with an injured ankle. Atthe same time Mill and Keeble (Hawke's Bay)had. to receive medical attention. After thisstoppage Wairarapa launched a_ back attackwhich the Bay rearguard speedily squashedand the home forwards cleared their terri-tory. Kuril delighted the crowd when heran clean through the opposition to be col-lared within a few yards of the line. lierepeated the movement a few ainutes later ina manner that classed him as the best backon the ground. Cooke and his backs werekept very quiet, boing quite overshadowed by

the home rearguard, Hawke's Bay werebeating the opposition in every department.The spell ended with Wairarapa endeavour-ing to pierce the defence with solo efforts,mainly on the part of Cooke, and no scoreon the board.

Hawke's Ba* renewed the offensive on theresumption of" p«*y. but Wairarapa momen-tarily turned the tables and were within sr.ace of scoring on two occasions. Shock at-tacks by the Bay forwards and snappymovements by the backs with Mill ana K ,l*nconspicuous, drove the visitor#*" intotheir own twenty-five, where they had abard struggle to keep the line intact. Only

lack of finish to well-judged movementsstopped the home rearguard from notchingpoints. Bjt means of good forward wo

This wa3 staged aa a curtain-raiser to tho Counties' inatcn, and althouguthe hour was early there was a yood attend-ance of spectators present to witness thekick off. Canterbury were not extended in

beating the visitors by the odd goal in

three. ...- j tThe match between Yorkshire and .Lan-

cashire for the Robb Cup produced a goodexhibition between the Countisa repre-sentatives and Yorkshire retained possessionof the cup by a margin of three goals W>one. The paying area was in good orderand tho weather was fine but cold. Iheteams were;—

SUGAR INDUSTRY.AUSTRALIA'S POLICY.

ffifTS THAT SHOULD BEfA KNOWN.

QVJSJt fiti,ooo,ooo A YEAR PAID INWAGES.

7(nwM OUB SPECIAL BWBBSXJITMIVE.)

CANBERRA, May 4.

A fe ,r days ago the Minister for

frt<je and Customs, Hon. H. S. Cul-

hU made available the terms of thegJar Agreement which it had been

foßßd had not hitherto been fully pub-

lished- It is worth while t0 examine

,h« whole position so that the generalJblic may be ablo to form a fa r

EL of what the sugar policy udopteahv"the Government means to the Co»n-L„wealth. In this matter there is•hat i» ( 'al,ed th<> Northern ? 01,,t oflw and the Southern point of view.jjt w]]l not be amiss to state some

*

f the outstanding facts connected withtbe industry. 4The sugar industry is protected by

embargo against foreign importa-t.l,3 which has been granted by theCommonwealth Government for a periodif three years, dating from SeptemberIst 19-8. Tho selling prices for homeroMumption have been fixed by theGovernment, and, together with otherconditions, are included in an agree-»ent with the Government of Queens-land. Only wholesale and manu-facturing prices have been fixed, butth« wholesale rates are such as to per-Bit of refined sugar being sold in allcapital cities at :i retail price of 44d™r lb. The price to wholesalers is £376, 8d less 2 per cent, discount for cash,and to retailers and housewives for not}»9 than half-ton lots the price is thetame without the discount. For homownsumption purposes manufacturersjiay £M> Ms !>d net cash, but therejs a special concession to fruit pro-misors for home consumption, and theypay only *3O <ss 8,1 Per ton -

There is also provision for supplies•( mill white sugar for home consump-tion (providing definite orders at reason-able notice be given) at £33 3s 9d perton eash to retail grocers and house-wives for not less than half-ton lots,end £32 10s 6d to wholesalers andmanufacturers.

Other Conditions.It ia provided that sugar used in

tumnfactured goods exported from theCommonwealth must be supplied at theAustralian in-bond equivalent of theirorid'l parity, aud the industry mustaeeept the responsibility for any lossarising from the exportation of surplus•agar—a provision that the growersthink ought to bo deleted and a bountylubstituted.

It is contended that the special con-, Msiion price to fruit preservers has

reduced the costs of manufacturers ofJams, canned fruits and other fruit pro-ducts by over £IBO,OOO per annumind by thus stimulating sales hashelped fruit-growers to dispose of largerquantities of fresh fruit. Further, itis stated that manufacturers have been

1 placed in at least as good a position aslegartls sugar costs as they wouldMrupy if there were no embargo, andttey were able to obtain supplies fromAe cheapest foreign markets and usetlieni for the manufacture, in-bond, oftheir products for export. ,4# export

' rebate off- the ordinary home conaump-' tion prices is given. These rebateshave varied between £BO,OOO and£109,000 per annum, and are fixed bywhat is known as the Export Sugar

. Committee, which is representative ofi the threo interests coneerned—the* sugar industry which pays the rebates,

the manufacturers for export who pur-chase the sugar and receive the re-bates, and the Government.

Why Has This Policy Been Adopted?Why is it that this particular form

»t protection has been adopted in theiase of the sugar industry! Here aretho chief reasons:—

(1) World's sugar prices have alwaysbeen subject to considerable fluctua-tions which would cause great diffi-culty in establishing a Axed rate of dutytint would at all times be fair toboth producer and consumer. A fixedrata would sometimes give the sugarIndustry excessive profits at tho expense*(L£h« consumer, and at other times in-lufficient profits, or perhaps losses, thatWould seriously injure the industry.Moreover, tho constantly fluctuatingtame-consumption price would bo moreor less embarrassing to manufacturers*ing sugar in a large way.

(2) After many years' experience,•is industry has been found to be theonly one capable of establishing on* large scale in the vulnerable coastaldistricts of the North. Consider, inillustration of this, that from Towns-till# north there is a population, with-

a fairly small area along the coast,•f approximately 100,000, whereas intoe Northern Territory, in approxi-mately the same latitude, the popula-tion Is only about 3000. The ' WhiteAustralia policy is intimately bound*P with the sugar industry.

(3) If Australia were to import herWgar from abroad, something between44,000,000 and £5,000,000 a year*on!tl be paid to countries where thetofence of trade is already substantially•jainst Australia.

(4) Tho sugar industry pays over£6,000,000 a year in wages, and has•fwted a very large trade withHnthcrn States in manufactured goods

#l3 descriptions.(5) Sugar production has entirely

•kaaged since the Kanaka days. A•wgo proportion of the sugar was thenProduced under the plantation system*ilh numerous large holdings. To-day

are over 8000 individual farmers4Bls*Jted in the industry, cultivating antver&ge of 57 acres each, and only 7•* 8 plantations still remain. This has

The British delegation to the AustralianShipping Conference submitted a returnshowing th° number of days' earnings re-quired to pay the different items of costwhich a ship incurred, reports the "Ship-ping World." The net result was that moredays' earnings were required than existedin tho year. As a consequence, fifty toseventy-five days' running annually repre-sented a dead loss. These figures do notapply only to the Australian trade. Theyapply equally well to the North Atlantic,South American, and Eastern trades. Norare they only the experiences of liner andcargo liner companies. Those of thegeneral trader companies are perhaps a littleworse. Figures show how tonnage, evenwhen in the hands of experienced managers,cannot earn at the existing levels of freightrates anything more than a modest returntotally incommensurate with the risks neces-sarily attaching to the industry of shipping.The fact is that in the early days of worldtrade, when the unit was the individual,free and unrestricted competition was inevit-able and even essential to its growth. Thatperiod seems to have come to an end withthe war, and to-day, when the unit of in-ternational trade is the nation, we have com-petition between nations. What must bethe result in these circumstances if free andunrestricted competition between the indi-viduals of any one nation is persisted in?

The modern chart-house tends to showmore and more the influence of electricity(writes the "Syren and Shipping"). Thisdoes not apply to big liners only, but togeneral cargo carriers. The advantages ofelectric engine revolution and direction in-dicators are greatly appreciated by navi-gators, while such devices as helm angle in-dicators form valuable aids. It is, per-haps, indicative of the attitude adopted bythe owners of smaller types of vessel to-wards shipboard electricity that a firm whichspecialises in the construction of steeringgears for coasters should have evolved aspecial type of electrical gear which differsfrom the accepted pattern of steam gearonly in the fact that the steam prime moveris replaced by a continuously runningelectric motor, which is a power supplieronly; control of the steering is by meansof telemotor, or the rudder head is actuatedby chain and barrel and rods as heretofore.One mentions this as showing that ship-owners are gradually becoming accustomedto this extension of the uses of electricityinto realms hitherto considered Quite nn-suited on grounds of cost. "The modernship lg an electric shop" is an adage whichproves very true in practice. Its propulsionapplication is cne side entirely; its generaluse is another. Its handiness and flexibilitycommend it to all-round application; thecheapness with which it can be generatedmakes it feasible and economic to extend itsuses to all branches of ship operation.
