FURS RESTYLEDAT REDUCED

SUMMER RATES

It is not generally appreciated whatcan be done in the way of renovationand restyling of Fur Coats, Necklets,etc., in addition to straightout re-pairs.

The firm of Pattison Ede specialisein this important work, and throughthe years have built up a very highreputation. One reason is that theyhave a fixed policy of undertaking nowork of this nature unless satisfac-tory results, fully justifying the out-lay, can be assured. They have anexcellent selection of matching skinsand accessories, and will not only re-pair, reline and renovate any gar-ment, but their expert stylists can, ifyou wish, restyle your coat in thenewest mode.

Owing to the War the expert cut-ting staff of Pattison Ede has beendepleted, and in order to avoid a rushof repairs in the busy winter season,when further staff depletions arelikely, special reduced summer ratesare being charged on all renovationwork.

Why not take in that coat that youparticularly treasure to Pattison Edeand discuss the matter of remodellingwith them. It is also as well to re-member the possible difficulty in thefuture of replacing a really good furcoat, , Pattison Ede reduced chargesare very moderate, and their work,which is carried out on the premises;is guaranteed. —1

AIDS TO HEARING-—*—■

WAR CAUSES SHORTAGE OFEQUIPMENT

(P.S.S.) WELLINGTON, October 17.The war had a tremendous effect on

the availability end development ofhearing aids, said the acoustical engi-neer to the New Zealand League forthe' Hard of Hearing, Mr T, R. Clark-son, speaking on "The History of Hear-ing Aids," at a meeting of the Wel-lington branch of the league. The dif-ficulty in obtaining technical mater-ial at present not only applied to NewZealand, but afso to major manufac-turing countries, he said.

The component parts and the newmaterials which went to make thehearing aids were in high demand be-cause they were similar in type to theapparatus generally used for radio andcommunication purposes in defence.Not only was the material scarce, butthe personnel for development andmanufacture of apparatus was exactlythe same class as that required forcommunication purposes in war.

It could only be expected, therefore!that the progress of the civilian re-quirements in hearing aids would begreatly retarded. This applied par-ticularly to New Zealand, where en-deavours were being made to estab-lish a local manufacturing industryand where most of the qualified en-gineering personnel was fully occupiedwith radio and allied apparatus neces-sary for the. prosecution of the war.

“At present there is still a certainamount of manufacturing in England,"said Mr Clarkson. “In America thegreatest amount ef development andmanufacture of up-to-date hearing aidsis taking place, and I think it is re-cognised that we must depend onthe United States for leadership inthis field for some time to come.”

IN THE GARDEN

VegetablesThere is much to be done in the vege-

table department. Where seedlings ofsuch crops as carrots, beet, parsnips,radish, lettuce, and turnips are farenough advanced to permit of theirbeing thinned out, this work shouldnot be delayed.

Experience has proved that if eachplant does not get enough root and leafroom in the seedling stage it will beof poor quality. Over and over againit has been proved that where vege-tables have been given sufficient roomto develop without a check, the yieldis larger and the quality far superior.

Continue to plant main crop potatoes.Sowings may be made of lettuce, beet,carrot, spinach, onions, peas, beans,radish, parsnip, turnip, mustard andcress. Continue to plant cabbages andcauliflowers. Those who intend to raiseasparagus should sow the seed now.

Onions transplant well. Where theseed has missed, young plants may beused. Do not plant these too deeplyor they may develop thick necks.

Sow marrows, pumpkins, and cucum-bers. Give these a deep root run. Addplenty of well-decayed manure anddust a good sprinkling of bone dustthrough the rows before planting orsowing. When the young plants arewell up dust a little superphosphatearound each plant and water well.

Do not wait until it is time to plantcelery before preparing the soil forit. Take out a trench wide enough togive space for two rows of plants.Each plant should be set nine inchesapart. Do not dig the trench too deep.Quite often all the fertile soil Is re-moved and the manure is placed onthe cold sub-soil. When this is done itis seldom that the crop is successful,and this often causes celery torun to seed before it comes to maturity.Leave a good depth of fertile soil inthe trench to mix with the manure.After the young plants have becomeestablished dust round the plants oneounce of superphosphate and oneounce of sulphate of potash to eachsix yards of trench.

Keep rhubarb on the move by givingliquid manure. One ounce of sulphateof ammonia to one gallon of water,given each week, will make the rhu-barb succulent.

Prepare ground for planting outtomatoes. Select a sheltered but not ashaded position. Tomatoes are sun-lovers. The more of this they get themore prolific they will be. If not al-ready done sow savoys, broccoli, cab-bage, kale, and brussels sprouts to pro-vide young plants for autumn andwinter supplies.

FlowersRoses are looking well this season.

Dust a little superphosphate roundeach and hoe the manure in. Keep thesurface well stirred. It is almost im-possible to hoe round roses too much.When the soil is of a light type top-dress round each plant with a littlewell-decayed manure. This will keepthe roots cool and will also supplyfood. Should blight make an appear-ance, spray at once with black-leaf 40;and as a control against mildew andother fungus diseases spray with col-lodal sulphur. Peony roses, if givenliquid manure will flower much bet-ter.

~

Dahlias that are developing growthmay be lifted, divided up and plantedin a new place. Be sure that eachpiece planted has two active growths.Dahlias do best when given an openposition in the sun, and rememberthat dahlias are lime-loving. .

Delphiniums should be staked. Thinout any spindly growth and dust alittle oyster shell grit round each plant.It is quite a good time now to plantout seedling delphiniums. As a pre-ventive against slugs dust a little limeround the plants.

Plant out gladioli. Place these aboutfour inches deep. Azaleas, rhododen-drons, and daphnes may still beplanted. Sow aster seeds in the openborders where they are to remain andflower. „

Few climbing plants are more effec-tive than tropawolum speciosum (theflame climber). It does best in a shadedposition. Being autumn floweringmakes it a valued climber. It can begrown in pots, as then each plant iswell rooted and when removed fromthe pot will soon establish itself andby autumn should flower. It may beplanted now.

Divide apd replant chrysanthemums.Perennial phlox should have allspindly growth removed if larger

flower heads are desired. Now is a goodtime to plant violets.

FruitAs soon as the petals have fallen

from the apple, pear, and quince flow-ers it is time to spray for the controlof the codlin moth grub. The femalemoth lays her eggs on the young fruitsand if the protective film of arsenateof lead is not there when the younggrubs hatch out they will eat theirway inside the young fruit. It is thenimpossible to reach them with thespray liquid. Get the spraying doneat the proper time. Use arsenate oflead at the strength of one ounce tofour gallons of water. Force the spraywell into each fruit cluster. As morethan one brood of these grubs hatcheseach season it is necessary to makeseveral sprayings.

Strawberry plants will now need at-tention. Remove all runners, with theexception of those for new plantingsnext season. For this purpose saverunners from the most prolific plants,but when cultivating do not disturbthe roots, as these are now active, de-veloping the small fruits. Mulch theplants with some straw litter. Thiswill keep the roots cool and the fruitclean. Before applying the mulch dustto the square yard half an ounce ofsuperphosphate, half an ounce of bonedust, and the same quantity of potash.Lightly hoe this in and apply themulch.

Raspberries are now sending upmany suckers. Remove these, with theexception of those needed for nextseason’s crop. A good mulch of well-decayed manure around each clumpwould improve the size and quality offruit.

ShrubsPyrus malus coronaria is in full

bloom. Although it has been in culti-vation in New Zealand for many years,it is seldom seen in gardens, and isnot as well known as its merits de-serve. It is the last of the apple fam-ily to flower, and this also adds muchto its garden value. The tree not onlyattracts plant lovers by the singularbeauty of its flowel’s, but also by itsperfume. Its semi-double flowers aretwo inches or more across, and palerose in colour. The plant is ratherslow in growth, compact in habit, andperfectly hardy. In autumn the foli-age turns to a beautiful shade ofbronze.

CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION

The fortieth annual report of the Can-terbury Rowing Association, to be pre-sented at the annual meeting on October23 states that the last season has been asomewhat difficult one owing to the war,and clubs are endeavouring to carry onwith a very much reduced membership.The position will be very much the samethis year, but the idea of the associationhas been that the sport should be cannedon as nearly as possible on the lines be-fore the war started. It has been neces-sary, of course, to drop some of thelarger functions such as opening day, asthe membership of the clubs would notyjffil-tQf their making the usual d&ilayj.

CAST AWAY YOUR GLASSESAND

HAVE GOOD NATURAL SIGHTEYESIGHt SPECIALIST’S REMARKABLE DISCOVERY '

Simple, Safe and Practical HomeMethod of Restoring Perfect Vision

NO BETTER NEWS has ever been published ior the readers of this paperthan this pronouncement by Mr Graham Bennett, the eminent. London

eye specialist. In the course of a recent interview he said: “If everybody’slivelihood depended upon seeing correctly without the aid of glasses, thestandard oL eyesight in this country wduld quickly be raised: AFor such a

measure would forp& MPQU the notice of the general public what few peopleexcept eyel)®ecMistrtißtvr to-day—that most eye troubles can be easily

and safely corrwtcdVithiout wearing glasses at all.. Indeed, if it were not sotragic, it would be laughable to think of the thousands of men and women who

resort to glasses at the first sign of strain without taking steps to correcttheir sight naturally. What would YOUlhink ofa person who took to crutches

at the first sign ofRheumatism? I assure you that the simile is not at all absurd.”

OTHER points made by Mr GrahamBennett were: “People so often

fail to realise that once you take toglasses you are actually teaching youreyes to depend upon them. Do I needto tell you that, except in seriouscases, you should be teaching youreyes to do WITHOUT them? Someof you whom I am addressing arewearing spectacles at this momentand you know as well as I do that youreyesight has not improved as a result.In fact, I say that your eyes are prob-ably weaker; may I suggest that someof you may have had to change tomore powerful glasses since you firstbegan to wear them. Am I notright?”

OVER 50,000 SUCCESSFUL CASES.

“What, then, is the remedy for thisstate of affairs as it affects you per-sonally? ‘I do hot WANT to wearglasses,’ you say, 1 but how am I tocorrect my eye troubles naturally sothat 1 can manage without them?’There is only one answer. You canlearn to see clearly without glasses byfollowing the safe, natural method ofeye training that I have used withcomplete success in more than 50,000cases since I embarked upon mycareer as an eye specialist to make thedoctrine*of ‘natural sight’ my life’swork. Schools in America andpitals in this country all have practisedthe methods I now advocate for you,so that at least you need have nohesitation in folding out what they areand how they can benefit YOUR eyes.They are explained clearly in my newbook, which tells how, in the privacyof your own home, you can practisethese simple methods which, whileoccupying only a few minutes a day,will gradually yet surely restore toyou that clear vision which Natureintended you to have.”

People of every dags and rank, from15 to even 90 years of age, have beensaved from the tyranny of glasses bythese wonderful new methodsmethods that can do the same for you.You have only to ask yourself howmany people ypu know who, oncehaving taken to glasses, are ever ableto leave them off again, to realise thatglasses are merely crutches for theeyes. They can never end yourtroubles. Mr Graham Bennett’smethods CAN.

Decide at once to apply on the formbelow for free copy of his book,“HOW TO IMPROVE WEAK ORFAILING EYESIGHT.” It costs younothing except a 2d stamp, yet it canbe the means of ensuring for yonperfect natural sight for tire rest ofyour life. «

MENTAL HEALTHFORMATION IN YEARS

OF CHILDHOODADDRESS TO NEW EDUCATION

FELLOWSHIP

How mental health i? affected bythe experiences of the first five yearsof life, and particularly by parentalattitudes, was discussed by Dr. M.Bevan Brown in an address to theNew Education Fellowship.

Mental health was a matter of emo-tional development, said Dr. BevanBrown. School education for somegenerations had been concernedmainly, with intellectual education,and secondarily with physical educa-tion. Advanced intellectual educationwas not a guarantee of mental health;neither was high intellectual endow-ment. Emphasising that he was speak-ing of positive mental health, and notmerely of freedom from gross mentaldisorder or disability, he added thatthe proportion of people who werereally mentally healthy in this sensewas small.

In a sick person there were forcestending towards ill-health conflictingwith forces tending towards health,In mental ill-health these forces wereof the nature of purposes, needs, andwishes, usually unconscious. Thephysician’s task was to reduce ornullify the forces tending towards ill-health, and if he succeeded the healthyforces had free play and the patientbecame well. Often the patient wasassiduously making himself ill undera false conviction that he was strivingto get well.

Characteristic FeaturesThere was no simple answer to the

question of how to recognise mentalhealth, because it might exist in manywidely differing types of personality.Features of a mentally healthy personcould be stated as friendliness, confi-dence, adequate courage, capacity tobe a good parent, capacity and, will-ingness to take responsibility, that hewas a good citizen, absence of liabilityto break down under- stress. Therewas likely to be difference of opinionabout this last.

From the treatment of ill peopleand observation of children, it wasconcluded that these illnesses hadtheir origin in the first five years oflife, and that if the nurture of thechild in the first five years was fav-ourable the child would remainhealthy throughout life. It had to beremembered that the child was an in-dividual, a potential personality, adynamic organism, a bundle of forcesor tendencies as yet unintegrated.

Every child was born with threeinnate tendencies—self assertive, de-pendent, and sensuous. Compounded,these made up temperament. It couldbe said that mental health was thefull expression of all the innate ten-dencies in harmony with one anotherin the pursuit of an ideal.

In the first three years these ten-dencies were in embryonic form. Todevelop into a healthy personalitythey must be allowed freedom of ex-pression, and be provided with anatmosphere in which such expres-sion was possible. If these con-ditions did not exist the result wasa warped or distorted personality. Ina child’s second year self-assertivenessappeared in the primitive form of ag-gressiveness, swaggering, pugnacity,and self-willedness. These were theraw material of confidence, initiative,courage, and will, and would so dervelop if allowed to do so. If harshlytreated or thwarted the tendencymight be repressed, 'resulting in ( acharacter exhibiting timidity and in-decision, together with primitive self-willedness and possibly symptoms ofan obsessive type.

Parental AttitudesThe expression these tendencies

needed was possible only through anappropriate parental environment.This meant an attitude of parentallove and all that was involved in it.If frequently happened that a childdid not in fact experience this con-dition. The tendencies were thenthwarted or frustrated, and the childsuffered fear, and perhaps anger andhate as well. Hate and anger mightbe repressed—kept in the unconscious—with fear holding the field. Thiswas in rough outline the method oforigin of the chronic state o'f anxietyso common in the modern world. Inevery case of psychological illness in-vestigated it was found that the indi-vidual had been inadequately loved inchildhood—or to be more precise hadfelt inadequately loved.

If the attitude of the parents wasreally one of love there would be ade-quate understanding of the needs ofthe child. Love had a content of in-telligence as well as feeling. To thequestion, "What must we do?” the ex-pert’s answer was likely to be a seriesof "Don’ts,” indicating that it waslikely to be more dangerous to do toomuch than to do nothing. It was im-portant to be something rather thanto do something. One of the ruleswould be: “Don’t say ‘don’t’ to thechild if you can help it.”

Dr. Bevan Brown quoted some rulesapplicable to children of the earlyschool years: Respect the child’s per-sonality; don’t increase the child’sdifficulties by increasing his fear andguilt; avoid punishment as far as pos-sible. If punishment were given itdid less harm to the child to punishin anger than on the basis of “soundtraining” or “moral principle.”

Question of DisciplineTo the question whether this atmo-

sphere allowed for discipline or meantalways allowing the child to have hisown way, Dr. Bevan Brown said itdid allow for discipline. But the onlydiscipline of ultimate value was Self-discipline, which must be learned byexperience. If the child was not in-terfered with too much he wouldlearn that he lived in a world so con-stituted that he could not have all hisown way because of the nature of thephysical environment, and because ofother people who also wanted theirown way, preferably children of hisown age. There was a difference be-tween encouraging a child’s initiativeand gratifying his every wish.

The question of harmonising innatetendencies in relation to an aim orpurpose, coming into play in the thirdor fourth year, was as important asfreedom for full expression. The aimor ideal would not be formed by ex-plicit "moral teaching,” or coercion,or by external discipline. It couldcome only by the child being free tochoose a sound aim or purpose, whichmust be one suited to his tempera-ment.

CHURCH SCHOOLGRANT

ANGLICAN SYNODDISCUSSION

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED

A proposal to continue the diocesangrant of £3OO a year to the VictoryMemorial School, St, Albans, and tohand over the school to the parishof St. Albans to control and maintain,was further discussed by the Christ-church Diocesan Synod at its sittingsyesterday. An amendment by Mr L.V. Talbot, for the grant to be givenonly until 1945, was adopted.

Mr E, Wilson asked if parents wouldsend their children to a school whichhad a life of only one year. The criti-cism getting into the newspapers wasa great handicap to the school, whichwas worthy of the confidence of theSynod. He challenged statements thatthe standard was not of the highest.' Mr C. D. W. L. Shephard said Christ-

church North was very different fromthe district round St.' Michael’s. Whenthe primary department' of Christ-church West High School was closed,St. Michael’s benefited, for there wasno other school nearby and it serveda real need. No similar conditions ex-isted in Christchurch North, whichwas particularly well served withschools.

The Rev. H. S. Hamilton said theGovernment inspector at his annualvisit had given the school a very goodreport.

A further amendment by the Rev.C. L. Sparrow, that the amount be£3OO reducible by £SO each year, wasdefeated.

The Church ArmyThe following resolution, on the mo-

tion of Dean Warren, was adoptedunanimously:—

“That this Synod (a) thanks theChurch of England people who builtthe Church Army hut at BurnhamCamp; (b) commends the work of theChurch Army and of the 2600 volun-tary workers who during the last 18months have helped in the ChurchArmy hut; (c) urges Church of Eng-land people to continue to support thework by giving to the National Patri-otic Funds.”

Captain Harris, of the Church Army,informed the Synod that since the hutwas opened 18 months ago 364,000 menhad been given refreshments, 2618 vol-untary workers had helped, besidesone who regularly gave three days aweek. On Thursday night 150 menwere writing letters at once. Freedarning and mending were providedfor soldiers.

Moves toward union among thePresbyterian, Methodist, and Congre-gational churches were supported inthe following resolution, adopted onthe motion of Canon Parr: “That thisSynod, being deeply conscious of theevil and the weakness of a disunitedChristendom, follows with sympatheticinterest the efforts being made towardsunion among the Presbyterian, Meth-odist, and Congregational churches,and prays that, with God’s blessing,these efforts may be crowned withsuch success as may lead to furtherventures in the cause of unity.

On the motion of Dean Warren itwas decided to open a new ledgeraccount to the credit of which sumssubscribed, given or received as capi-tal, might be placed, the income tobe used solely to increase stipendsabove the minimum of £290.

Bills to provide for the establish-ment of contributory funds for pen-sions for bishops and deans were read

,a third time and passed.The following Public and Social Af-

fairs Committee was set up; Canon S.Parr, the Revs. A. H. Acheson, S. J.Cooper, J. Evans, F. N, Taylor, FlightLieutenant (Chaplain) E. Osmers, Dr.H. Broadhead, Messrs C, K. Williams,E. Wilson, J. W. N. Salisbury, HeadDeaconess J. Spencer-Smith.

COAL OUTPUTMINISTER CONFIDENT

ORGANISATION TO MEETREQUIREMENTS

(P.R.) WELLINGTON, October 17.“While the coal situatipn, like that

of many other industries, is n°t onght,nevertheless I am confident that theminers and the companies, with theco-operation of the Government, willfind a way out,” said the Minister forMines (the Hon. P. C. Webb) thismorning.

...,

The Minister said that the increaseddemand for coal necessitated theclosest possible organisation in theexisting mines to increase output tomeet the requirements of industry.Since the Government came into officethere had been a rapid increase in thecoal demand contingent upon the ex-pansion of industry, For instance,steam plants required 150,000 tonsextra coal this year. The railway con-sumption of coal showed an increaseof 35 per cent,, electricity require-ments were higher by 200,000 tons, andthe gas consumption demand was275.000 tons. There was also an increasein the consumption of household coal.

They had got through the winterwith little inconvenience and werenow preparing for the increases tomeet next winter’s demands. Theshortage of manpower in the mineswas very acute, while the , housingproblem, especially in the Waikato,did not lend itself to any great in-creases in the number of miners.

Record ExpectedThe utmost economy in the use of

electric power was essential becauseevery unit saved meant a saving oftwo and a half pounds of coal. Outputof coal this year was likely to be about2.750.000 tons, which would be a re-cord for New Zealand.

If existing mines could be worked totheir capacity they were capable ofproducing the added coal required,although further development of gascoal areas might be necessary as thesupplies of gas coal practicallylimited to the West Coast.

He expected a very great increase inproduction in the North Island Statemines at Mangapehi, in the KingCountry, and at Tatu, near Ohura.While the position generally wouldneed to be very closely watched, andevery economy introduced in the con-sumption of coal, he was confident thatthe industry could be so organised tomeet added requirements.

Industry’s ProblemsThe companies complained bitterly

about absenteeism in most of the coalmines being extremely high, added MrWebb. It was essential, if they weregoing to obtain the results required,that absenteeism should be reduced toa minimum. Absenteeism in coal mines,on account of the nature of the work,was usually much higher than in most,if not all, other industries. Neverthe-less, the first' essential was goodwilland co-operation with the industry.

He was hoping to have a conferencewith the Waikato coal owners and theWaikato miners’ executive in Aucklandnext Monday to discuss the questionsof housing, transport, amenities, andabsenteeism, but not to deal with ques-tions covered by the present workingagreement. If that conference couldbe arranged he was hopeful that itwould produce much good.

The alternative tc the present minesproducing the country’s requirementswas the opening up of additionalmines. That he wished to avoid asfar as possible because, should thesituation change as a result of elec-trical equipment being made availablefor the generation of hydro-electricity,a big reduction in coal consumptionwould immediately follow, and it wasbad economy to have mines workinghalf time. It was much better to havethe industry organised, where theminers would have reasonably regularemployment and the companies havethe opportunity .of working theirmines economically.

AMENITIES FOR MINERS(P.R.) WELLINGTON. October 17.

“The mining fields of the future mustprovide the miners who risk their livesin a dangerous employment with thesame amenities as their more fortunatebrothers enjoy in other industries, ’said the Minister for Mines (the Hon.P. C. Webb), when referring to theprovision of facilities for the miners atthe new State mine at Mangapehi, inthe King Country.

Mr Webb said that there had beenmany difficulties in getting the neces-sary labour to build houses at the newNorth Island State mines at Manga-pehi and Tatu; but at Mangapehi theyhad built approximately 20 houses.Tenders had been called for the con-struction of another 10 as speedily aspossible.

In addition, they had built a con-siderable number of good hutmentsand had called tenders for the con-struction of a hostel to accommodateapproximately 20 boarders, with din-ing-rooms to provide food for all thoseliving in huts, if desired. A water sup-ply was being arranged for the town,and a drainage system hadbeen put in hand.

He expected by next winter to haveaccommodation, available that shouldbe a model for mining villages. Theresult of providing decent accommoda-tion and amenities had been to attractapplications from many miners whowere not now in the industry, andthere was a waiting list at both thenew State mines that could not be meton account of the lack of accommoda-tion at the moment. Further amenitiesincluded tennis courts and bowlinggreens, while at Mangapehi he under-stood golf was one of the miners’ fav-ourite recreations.

ELECTION POSTPONEMENTSir. —R. F. W. Ashworth contributes

several constructive and illuminatingconjectures upon the inability of theNational Party to follow the demo-cratic course of demanding an electionupon its due date. The nebulous andfantastic excuses advanced by thePrime Minister were not pleaded by

politicians of Australia. Canada,fd South Africa, when their respec-

tive elections were due.—Yours, etc.,October 17, 1941. D.H.C.

"THE PRESS" LEADINGARTICLES

Sir—l must congratulate the leaderwriters of "The Press” on their articles.Correspondence proves that at leastsome of your subscribers have beenreading them. We all have our ideas,and there is always the hope, not un-mixed with dread, that some day wewill bo asked to write them ourselves.At one time you couldn’t argue withan editor: he always saw to it thathis was the last word. Now, he pro-vides a free-for-all where we are per-mitted to contradict, condemn, confuteand confound him freely and fully.When wc wish to disagree with him, he

' is quite agreeable and even placeslittle maps at our disposal, wherebywe can check up on him. It is hardto dissociate the leading articles fromthe paper itself so, instead, it wouldbe well to compare them with thecommentaries which are sent to usover the air. Should wc wish to dis-cuss, approve or oppose these, wemust do it through a newspaper; thereis no other way worth while. I thinkradio listeners forgot to thank “ThePress” for that article on broadcastingexpenditure, where it was clearlyshown that listeners were entitled tohave their fees reduced considerably,but, instead of that, huge reserves andsky scraping junk are being piled upfor posterity.—Yours, etc.,

T.A.SOctober 16, 1941.

“Sir,—ln answer to the advocate “of‘press’ education for the masses 4

’ andothers I should like to say that for•some readers the local newspaper maybe the fount of knowledge. Others,whose field is wider, cannot accept thewriters of the articles as qualified tobelittle the statements and actions ofleaders of the Allied war effort.—Yours, etc..'

MODERATION.October 17, 1941.

Sir,— I The recent correspondence uponthis subject gives me my chance toexpress in your columns my gratefulthanks for your leading articles uponthe war, its conduct, and its prospects.Ever since the war started—and, indeedlong before that—l have admired yourleading articles upon internationalsubjects, the writer’s extraordinarysagacity, his terseness of phrase, andhis unflinching exposure of the facts.

Since the war began, he has re-peatedly shown something very likegenius in unravelling and illustratingthe strategy of the war, and in fore-casting results. To give only one suchinstance where his possibility becamea probability and then an inescapable,unpleasant fact. I would mention hisspotting of the possible German-Italianadvance in North Africa that soon

i robbed us of the fruits of Wavell’s,-jSf brilliant generalship. This was at a

time when we were resting upon ourlaurels. His pronouncements are oftenunpleasant, but equally often are theysoberly heartening, and always are theygood for us. Only incurable loversof smooth words in all circumstancesare likely to take offence at them.—Yours, etc.,

KNOW THE WORST.October 16, 1941.

[“Disgruntled Subscriber” may, if hewishes, briefly reply; otherwisethis correspondence is closed.—Ed..“The Press.”]

HOTEL GLASSESSir,—l should like to draw the at-

tention of the Public Health Depart-ment to the method of washing glassesin hotel bars in Christchurch. Underthe counter they have a sink full ofwater and in this the glasses aredipped, some of the glasses contain-ing a certain amount of unconsumedliquor which goes into the sink untilthe water becomes the colour of beer.Then the plug is released and awaythis mixture goes. Again the sink isfilled with water, and so it goes on.

Now my complaint is that men andothers with T.B. and other repugnantcontagious diseases drink out of theseglasses that are all washed in the samewater.—Yours, etc., OBSERVANT.

October 15, 1941.[Supervision of hotel conditions is

in the hands of the Christchurch CityCouncil, not the Health Department.The Chief City Inspector (Mr J. W.Huggins) said yesterday that the coun-cil requires all hotels to have sinksavailable for washing glasses and asupply of running hot water laid on.That these requirements are fulfilledis ascertained when the periodical in-speclions are made.]

SEATS ON EXCURSION TRAINSSir,—Can you please inform the

public why a young couple travellingfrom Christchurch to Ashburton onSundgy evening, October 12, had tostand for the whole distance? Ap-parently there were plenty of othersin like case. One man declared, aftersearching longand vainly for an emptyseat, that “he reckoned he was reallywalking to Ashburton.”—Yours, etc.,

SEATS WERE PAID FOR.October 14, 1941.[The District Traffic Manager, to

whom the complaint was referred,states that there was a shortage ofac-commodation on the train to Ashbur-ton last Sunday evening. The car ac-commodation on the outgoing eveningtrain is based on the number of pas-sengers arriving by the morning train.On this date a comparatively smallnumber of passengers arrived in tfcemorning and a much greater numbertravelled in the evening, hence _ tfieshortage of seats on the outward jour-ney.]

SPORTSMANSHIP IN DECLINESir,—As a member of the United

Club I agree with your correspondent“Arco” that it is obvious that spons-manship is a lost quality. _ Hls

,.

clossentences regarding his resignation anathe hope that many more will do mesame undoubtedly prove his assertionto be correct.

~.. TWhile perusing his letter, I was

amazed that one who would air nisviews in this manner, was ever tcu -

rated at the United Club. I <concludedfrom the notice I received for mespecial meeting that it was a n°“^eo*f motion to alter a club rule that con-cerned all members that was discussedand not the Wilding Park levy, ine

motion was not carried. I regrettedthat some speaker had not appealedto the tennis players to be loyalthe club for the sake of. themembers atthe front, whom we trust will bespared to return and still be able toenjoy the facilities the club provides.

I was most elated at the opening tosee so many tennis players present wnoparticipate in competitive and otnertennis. It was most pleasing to knowthat no appeal,had been necessary, anthat they were still loyal to the cl .even though the motion they supportedhad been defeated. These are tnemembers the club must admire.

The executive is to be congratulatedthat the action it has taken has al-

ready been the means of receivingresignation (which I trust will be *

cepted) of “Arco.” ™hoenough to think of self only anthe club or the boys at the front.

POINTS FROM OTHERLETTERS

Commenting on Archbishop West-Watson’s conclusion-that “it is clearthat national differentiation is a divineordinance for man,” C. D. Lane writes:“I am one of those who regard thenation-state as an excrescence in de-velopment of the human family, and Iconsider it one of the urgent functionsof the Christian Church to demons-trate the spiritual reality and thematerial possibility of a brotherhoodwhich transcends national boundaries.

Hiram Hunter commends Mr J. R.McKenzie’s action in bringing beforethe New Zealand Trotting Associationthe question of provision of races formaiden trotters and pacers.

Replying to a complaint by "Clear-ance” about the danger to motor andother traffic and users of the footpathcreated by the fence of a property atthe corner of Halton street and Papa-nui road, the Chief City Traffic In-spector (Mr J. Bruorton) said that ar-rangements had been made for thefence to be cut back ancf the tree onthe corner removed.

"Officer of Last War and H.G. Offi-cer” urges that it is the duty of all1914-18 commissioned officers to jointhe Home Guard immediately andasures them that they are needed.“There are quite a number of units atpresent commanded by junior non-commissioned officers and privates ofthe last war,” he writes. These menare doing good work, too, but, afterall they have not been trained asefficient officers and cannot be ex-pected to do the work of such.

H J Buttle (Darfield) writes: “Oursocial economy is designed to caterfor the greed of a few rather than forthe need of the many, and ArchbishopWest-Watson and other churchdignitaries suggest that we couldnrofltably reverse it. However,churchmen could profitably ponder thefact that if orthodox social economyis divorced from justice by ideas ofprivilege, orthodox religions pbstructtruth when they entertain privilegedideas.”

TERRITORIAL FORCETRAINING—*—.

MINISTER NOT IN FAVOUROF POSTPONEMENT

(P.R.) WELLINGTON, October 17.“In view of conditions in the world

to-day, it is very necessary indeed thatthere should be no avoidable delay incommencing this collective trainingwhich is of importance to the efficiencyof the Army in New Zealand,” saidthe Minister for Defence (the Hon.F. Jones) in the House to-day, in re-ply to Mr E. B. E. Gordon (Rangitikei),who had asked whether the Ministerwould consider the possibility of hav-ing the training of territorials post-poned until after March.

Mr Gordon drew attention to a re-port from Christchurch that all terri-torials would be called up for twomonths’ further training in Januaryand February.

Mr Jones said it had been decidedthat the Territorial Force would infuture carry out two months’ collec-tive training in camp instead of twoweeks as previously, and it had beenproposed to do this training duringJanuary, February, March, April andMay. The exact period for each unitwas still under discussion, and wouldbe arranged as far- as possible to suitlocal conditions.

“It must be recognised however thatthe availability of training equipment,vehicles, and camp equipment alsoaffect the question, while the effect ofthe weather on troops under canvasor in bivouac must necessarily receivemost serious consideration,” said MrJones.

CHURCH UNION DISCUSSED

The report on the confer-ence between delegates from bothchurches stated that complete identityof view existed regarding baptism.After discussion in committee, it wasreported that the statement on theconference had been adopted, withcertain minor deletions, the Assemblyrecommending that the committee beauthorised to explore the possibilityof close co-operation and report to the1942 Assembly.

DETERRENT FORSEX CRIMES

JUDGE’S COMMENT

SENTENCE OF TEN YEARSIMPOSED’

(P.A.) HAMILTON, October 17.“That there has been a vile offence

committed upon a young girl of 11 yearsadmits of not a vestige of doubt,” saidthe Chief Justice (the Rt. Hon. SirMichael Myers) in the Supreme Courtat Hamilton to-day in sentencingJames O’Keefe, aged 42. to 10 years’imprisonment with hard labour oncharges of serious offences against ayoung girl.

“One sometimes hears it said that thecertainty of conviction in the propercase is, in itself, sufficient deterrent topersons minded to commit crime,” saidhis Honour. “That may be correct upto a point, but the truth is, I believe,that the real deterrent is not merelythe certainty of conviction but the cer-tainty, or at least the probability, ofconviction plus the fear of punishment,and, when I say fear of punishment, Iinclude fear of the kind of punishmentthat may be imposed.

“Although neither the statementthat corporal punishment had been apowerful deterrent nor the denial ofthat statement is in the nature ofthings capable of proof, it certainlySeems more reasonable, from one’sknowledge and experience of humannature, to think that the fear of cor-poral punishment in the case of sexualoffences and certain other offences wasa potent deterrent," he added. “Per-sonally, I always hated the thought ofhaving to order a flogging, and duringmy 12J years on the Bench I have doneso in only one so very bad case ofsexual offence upon a girl of very ten-der years.

“But for the abolition of corporalpunishment, and notwithstanding dis-taste of having to impose it, I shouldhave had very seriously to considerthat form of punishment in your case,”he said to the prisoner. “I assumefrom the grand jury’s presentmentexpressing regret that the power of theCourt in respect to punishment insexual cases has been restricted that, inits opinion also, this was a case whichmight have called for corporal punish-ment.

Long Term of Imprisonment“However, as the deterrent which I

consider was created by the fear_ ofcorporal punishment no longer exists.I feel that the only deterrent left—andthe only way to protect young girlsand women of the community fromoutrage—is to impose upon you andsuch as you a very long term of im-prisonment. Otherwise comment mightjustly be made that more solicitude is

being shown for the criminal than forthe public interest, and, incidentally,for innocent victims who are outragedand whosewhole lives may be therebywrecked and ruined.

“The jury found, and I think it wasentitled to find, that you were guiltyof the major offence charged, but Ipropose to deal with the case as if itconvicted you only of the attempt. Itis necessary, in my opinion, however,in view of the nature and inherentgravity of the case, to pass the maxi-mum sentence as for the minor offenceof attempt.

“The object of the sentence to bepassed upon you is to protect younggirls against molestation by you for atleast a long period and to operate as adeterrent to others who may be dis-posed to commit outrages such as thatof which you have been convicted.The sentence of the Court is that yoube imprisoned and kept to hard labourfor a term of 10 years.”

SUBMARINE

CURRENT BOOKS

The Submarine at War. By Professor;A. M. Low. Hutchinson. 220 pp.Through Whitcombe and Tombs'Ltd.

Professor Low points out that, al- (though events have fixed attention aUmost wholly on the use of the sub-‘marine against merchant shipping, ithas many other naval functions, in,all, its strength is invisibility. Until)that has been effectually and finally >

overcome, "under all conditions and at'all distances,” the struggle between the.inventor of improvements and the m-{ventor of defensive weapons andmethods of location may sway to and]fro; but it must be unsafe to consider'that any advantage so gained over thesubmarine is permanent. Professor'Low describes many of the devicesnow in use and under improvement, to,force the submarine to reveal- itself;;ibut “every one has its limitations. ■His book is well worth reading for its iinformation on this branch of the sub-1ject alone; but it ranges much fur-,ther. It is a history of the process of!theory and practical invention whichihas created and armed the modern|submarine. It reviews submarine dis-iasters, their causes, and the progress!both of preventive and of rescue tech-nique. It recalls the part of the sub-,marine in previous wars before pass-'ing to the present war; and here Pro-jlessor Low does well to emphasise the]high efficiency and success of the Bn-|tish submarine fleet, especially in the;Norway campaign. His account of the jdevelopment of anti-submarine devices,follows. In his last chapter he reviewsnew possibilities in offensive tech-,nique—methods of attack without“looking,” for instance, and the use ofthe sound-steered, light-steered, orradio-steered torpedo. Professor Lows;ability to explain technicalities clearly.,in non-technical language, is well used,in this fascinatingly instructive book.One of the many good photographs'shows Diomede at torpedo exercise m'the Hauraki Gulf.

BATTLE OF BRITAINWomen and Children Last. By Hilda;

Marrfiant. Gollancz. 190 pp. (»/-'

net.)

The prelude to this account of theBattle for Britain is a chapter on the,Czech crisis. The key sentence is MrChamberlain’s triumphant “I have mmy hand a piece of paper. . .

.’’ MissMerchant is an ironist. Her secondchapter opens on the declaration of thewar that smashed his faith in “peace inour time.” Then come “those first fewmonths,’’ the “boring” ones; then,chapter 111/ Dunkirk. There is nomore irony, no more boredom. MissMerchant, who had seen war in Spain;and in Finland, saw it again, as .thebombers made >it, in London, inCoventry, in a Welsh mining village—-a civilian’s war, a war in: whichwomen and children were in the frontline. There is no sob-stuff here, ,though much that is discerningly sad.There is no forced cheer-leading,*either, though much that is truthfullyencouraging. This is - a good, honest,memorable book. None that the warhas yet produced has brought sceneor character—and its transformation,whether individual or national —morevividly or movingly before the reader.

FIGHTING MERCHANTMENThe Battle of the Seas. By Sir Arcbi- .

bald Hurd. Hodder and Stoughton.160 pp. (3/6 net.) From W. S.Smart.

Sir Archibald Hur'd, official historianof the merchant navy in the war of1914-18, here compresses into a smallbook a vivid account of .the Battle ofthe Seas—he prefers that broader de-scription to the Battle of the Atlantic—and sets it against a background upon •which he’ sketches, with masterly skill,the history of the merchant; navy. ItWould be impossible to better in thesame space, and hard to equal in more,this review of the merchant, navy’sindispensable part in the building andprotection of the Empire; Sir Archibaldexplains the far-flung organisation ofsea trade; he shows how sadly handi-capped the merchant navy has beenby the rweak and neglectful policies ofthe last 20 years; and, finally, in epi-_sode_after episode, he brings clearly to"view the heroism and skill with which"the new piracy" of mine, U-boat, E-boat, raider, and bomber is being metand Britain’s vital sea-lanes are beingkept open. Many, very fine photo-graphs illustrate the text.' «

FORTUNES OF CHARLOTTEThe Sea Without a Haven. By D. K.

. Broster. Heinemann. 293 pp. (8/6net.)

Among the Royalist refugees who.fled from Toulon, besieged by the Re-volution irj 1793, was Charlotte d’Es-parre. The husband whom she hadhastily married, for greater security;was killed as they were about to sail;arid it- was not an inconsolable butat least a distraught young widowwhom an English ship-of-war carriedon to the tribulations of safety “with-out a haven,” alone. Sharply andamusingly drawn, these reach a climaxin Charlotte’s wretched servitude, atLeghorn, as maid to the detestable MrsMounsey and governess to her lumpof a daughter. Two contrasted figuresshare the role of rescuer, kindly, comi-cal, but suavely impenetrable M.' deDieuzie, governor of a French Medi-terranean islet, and Captain Carew,of the Callisto. Miss Broster knowswhich way to tip the romantic balance;and she touches historic scene, eventand character with familiar skill.

BEHIND THE SCREENCity of Angels. By Rupert Hughes.

Jarrolds. 320 pp. Through Whit-combe and Tombs Ltd.

What will endlessly entertain readersof this story is its highly colouredbackground of Hollywood life. Theromantic ballyhoo , and melodramaticstunts with which publicity expertsbuild up the careers, box office re-ceipts, and salaries of screen stars; thefeats of contract makers and contractbreakers; the artful lunacies of thescreen columnists—Mr Hughes hasplenty to tell about these and otheraspects of the. extravagant comedyplayed behind the screen. He tells itwhile following the fortunes of War-ren Thorburn, who was snatched fromthe beach, where he was a very goodlifeguard, to the studio, where he wasbuilt up into a very artificial stardom,sank, rocketed again, but decided fora sane life and sane, sweet love.

Old John Babbacombe’s son David“started at the bottom” in his father’shuge department store, because he hadan ulterior motive, an extremely at-tractive one. Beth Carson was one ofOld John’s hands, as her father wasand her trouble-making cousin, the liftgirl.

THE WEEK

THE SEASON

The season still pursues its wateryway. Although distinct .rainfallsshow the widest possible variation irthe province—from a few drops to arinch within a radius of 25 miles aitimes, they are not dissimilar in tota!quantity over the whole of the yearAs a general indication, therefore, th<fall recorded in the city may be takeras a reliable guide. For the firsnine and a half months of the year t(date it exceeded 28in, or close on Sirmore than in the corresponding perioclast year, which was also a wet oneIt appears that we will have to revisethe old tradition that Canterburyhovers perilously near the droughiline.

In the meantime grass and crops areshooting ahead, thanks to a period oldry, mild weather which was inter-rupted' again yesterday morning irsome districts by a short though heavyfall. In some districts the,excess olrain had made many wheat cropsassume an unhealthy yellow tinge, buithe dry spell quickly rectified this de-velopment. At the moment all the in-dications are for a good yield of wheatas no disability had been caused bydry conditions in the spring, and therain of this month should carry growthalong until the wheat approaches theshooting stage. Notwithstanding thebroken weather in many districts irSeptember there was quite a free in-quiry for seed from the merchants, andapparently farmers have been enabledin other areas to sow an additionalfield or two.

These flockowners who timed theiilambing to commence in the middleof September have every reason tcfeel satisfied with their judgment, asthe later flocks are meeting with ex-ceptionally favourable lambing condi-tions. There is plenty of feed for theewes and the warmer and drierweather has meant few losses fromclimatic causes. Many owners of laterlambing flocks report exceptionallygood percentages. On the other handthe August lambed flocks had a heavytoll taken by the snow and storms,These losses will probably check thetendency oq the plains towards earlylambing, and another check may bethe spreading of the difference in thenew exports schedule, as has been sug-gested in some quarters, in the priceof light and heavy lambs. Earlylambed heavy-weights may possiblybe worth little more than later lambssome pounds lighter.

LIGHTER LAMBS

The Ministerial statement the otherday that there would be a more markeddifference in the price of high-gradeand lower-grade meats this seasonraises the question of lighter lambweights. It has been, reported in theNorth Island that the new priceschedule is likely to adow of approxi-mately the same prices as last yearfor light lambs and light wethers andewes, but lower prices for heavierweights than those paid last year. Theproposal that the export of certaiilclasses of meat would be abandonedaltogether, and that farmers whenormally produced them would becompensated from funds built up fromthe more valuable * export, wouldoperate most unfairly if the price olthe better classes did not allow for* thededuction of such a levy. There was

“fat" about last year’s prices,and not to allow for such a deductionwould be anisdtTOum penary ork theindustry. tSjSTS 555. -SS? .SS •'

The lack dr"differentiation in ■ theprice per lb of the much desired lightlamb and heavy weight was a cause oldissatisfaction in peace times. The en-couragement to the light lamb pro-ducer was practically nil, and thescheme did not achieve its object olproducing light weights. If the spreadbetween the 321b and the 421b lamtis to be made worth while it wouldeffect a heavy reduction in the averageweights sent to the works, and securea much desired objective in reducingthe total weight of lamb exportedLast season the average weight of the11.000. odd lambs killed for expor

was 34.7—a high average—but on thetotal, if the average weight were re-duced to 311b, it would mean approxi-mately a reduction in total lamb ol40.000. or approximately 1,250,00(carcases of 311b weight. This wouldmaterially assist in reducing the totaweight of lamb for export and per-haps facilitate the acceptance at theworks of light-weight wethers, whiclat the end of last season were deniedadmission to the works for exportThose affected by this ban—the hilmen—were the least able to afford it

PROFITABLE FARMINGSEED CROPS AND

PASTURES

LINCOLN COLLEGE RETURNS

Two new pasture fields inspected bjvisitors to the field day at LincolrCollege last week attracted particu-lar interest, probably because they bothare close to the public highway, ancpassers-by -therefore have had a goodopportunity of seeing the transition irtheir appearance. One was a 21-acrtpaddock bounding the road leading tcthe village. This field had had a hardlife. Since 1921, when it was ploughedout of grass, it had grown 12 whitecrops, four green feed crops, and tweroot crops, every season being occu-pied. The last crop was of wheat, whichyielded 16 bushels an acre—a resultmainly of its deteriorated physical con-dition, but also of the wet winter,Passers-by will remember that its cropof hogweed after the wheat crop in-stanced was not the best advertise-ment for the college. In 1939 drain-age was effected, lupins were sown inthe autumn of 1939—a light crop—an'dploughed-in in September. A fallowthen followed until grass was sown inJanuary,- 1940, the mixture being 51bnucleus white clover, and 121b of Can-terbury old pasture rye. One ton oflime as an initial dressing was appliedin the autumn of 1940 and the seedsown with lewt of super to the acre,31b white clover drilled, and 21b broad-cast with grass. A white clover cropwas taken off in the 1940-41 season.The area was top-dressed last autumnwith scWt of lime and 2cwt super, anda white clover seed crop will beharvested in the 1941-42 season. Pres-ent appearances point to it being areal crop.

In this case financial results haveto be awaited, but in the other field,below the railway line, they havematerialised. This fi'fid of 22 acreswas sown in February. 1937, on fallowafter kale, following six years of cashcrops. The mixture was 1J bushels anacre of pedigree ryegrass and 21bof pedigree white clover, with lewt ofsuper, a half ton of lime to the acrebeing applied a fortnight before sow-ing the grass. This lime applicationit might be well to interpolate, wasfour years ago. Results since thenhave determined the director to makea ton to the acre the standard initiallime application. Subsequent top-dressing was 1 ton of lime and 2cwt ofsuper in March, 1938; scwt of lime and2cwt of super in April, 1939; and thelatter treatment again in April, 1940,and April, 1941. A perennial ryegrassseed crop was taken in 1937-38, anda white clover seed crop in each of thethree years succeeding.

GORSE PARASITE

COTTONY CUSHION SCALE

y INVESTIGATIONS BY LINCOLNs COLLEGEn

At its September meeting the Boardq of Governors of Canterbury Agricul-r. tural College decided to accede to ae request that the staff entomologist, Mr!} L. Morrison, be detailed to investigate50 the possibilities of cottony cushionn scale, or fluted scale (Icerya purchasi)d as a parasite for the destruction ofg gorse. Mr Morrison submitted his re-ie port at the meeting of the board onv Tuesday as follows:it • In the Waimakariri river-bed, on

the south bank near Harewood, a largee acreage of land is covered with gorse.>f On a considerable portion of this area> the gorse is heavily infested with cot-n tony cushion scale. The gorse on they remaining area is only ‘very lightly>f infested. Where the infestation isis heavy the gorse is rapidly beingkilledit out. Where the infestation is light,!* occasional bushes display a slightly

unhealthy, sickly appearance, andt> practically no bushes have been en-y tirely killed off.® In the heavily infested area the gorsehj is mostly old, large bushes about sixe or seven feet in height and interplanted® with pine trees varying in height from

, about three to 10 feet. In the lightlyd infested area the gorse had beend burned some years ago, and thdn (d grown again so that the bushes are ,

younger, more compact, and mostly •r one to five feet tall. Part of this latter 1e area has been interplanted recently ;0 with pines, which are only about sixs inches high. Large macrocarpa trees .

provide shelter from the east and 'north-east winds, more so to the |

e heavily infested block. It is possible ,r that the heavily infested area was ]n originally attacked, and the scale is (r spreading outwards from there. On ,V the other hand the firing of the area \“ where pines were not then planted, j

may have almost wiped out the insectsfrom there. ie . The cottony cushion scale is re- ]

? garded as a native of Australia, al- if though it was first recorded and de- i. scribed in New Zealand. W. M. Mas- ]1 kell, who first described and named ;v the insect in 1878, found his original iy specimens, through the courtesy of Dr. iPurchas, feeding on a kangaroo acacia 1

hedge in Auckland. In 1883 Maskell 1pointed out that the scale was fairly swell established and was to be found 1in the Auckland and also in the ■Napier and Nelson districts. He statedthat it was established in the native *forest as well as in gardens, and that 1it was attacking all sorts of plants

“ “from apple and rose trees to pines,e cypresses and gorse

.... we may be ja sure that ere long this pest will be- ]b come a dreadful nuisance.” ]e It would appear that this scale is ie held in check by the ladybird beetle, '- Rodolia (Novius Vedalia) cardinalis, ir and that if this beetle is absent the 1d scale may multiply rapidly in warm 'r climates as instanced by its success ]e when accidentally introduced into ,rt California and South Africa. id Its present successful attack on gorse i0 in the Waimakariri river bed seems ;e to me to be due to a scarcity or entire \n absence of the ladybird Rodolia com- 'd bined with the sheltered and warm <,f conditions of the environment. On <e October 7,- 1941, when the inspection js of the affected gorse was carried out, j5 it was particularly noticeable that in \n the arei> where the gorse was grow- ]e ing, and especially where the infesta- ,

tion vyith scalewas heavy, considerable je shelter from a cold easterly wind was .

provided by the low level of the .ground and a belt of tall macrocarpa .trees. Due to the dry shingly nature i

. of the soil and the natural shelter pro- ,1 vided, very high temperatures would.f prevail in summer and high day tem-j peratures would often occur in winter. .u The severity of the Canterbury climate ,j in winter would doubtless be felt muche less in this environment than in open .

; flat country or on damp heavy soils. .e If attempts are to be made to con-f trol gorse by the introduction of scales

■ into areas where they do not now exist,success is likely tobe more pronouncedif warm sheltered areas are chosen for

, treatment The natural spread of theinsect in .a locality is brought about

I by a gradual spreading out from aS centre of infection by the active crawl-", ing of the larvae. If sporadic occur-, rences far from an infected area take

. place, it is probably due to the agency‘ of the wind, grazing animals, or birds,y- Since this scale has been known to*} occur in New Zealand for the last 63? years, and during that period it hashj at no time become a serious pest,“ although it may occasionally cause

some concern to citrus fruit growers,there is little likelihood that it willmultiply rapidly and become a gorse-controlling agent of first-class import-

er ance even if artificially assisted in dis-tribution. On warm, sheltered areas,such as parts of Banks Peninsula, thescale might weR succeed in establish-ing itself on gorse if once introduced.The danger of damage resulting tocitrus fruit trees and other cultivatedplants is not very great. Most of ourfruit trees are already subject to attackby other, scales which can be controlledby sprays. If the possibility of sue- ;cessfully controlling gorse by the use

y of the cottony cushion scale is regarded ]n as likely, then the danger to fruit trees 'i- is a i lesser consideration than the ■hj menace of gorse.d During the inspection of the gorse ,d in the Waimakariri river bed it was !n noted that several pine trees were ,e attacked by the younger stages of the !o scale. Few mature insects with the :d large cottony egg sac were found on ;d trees. A close watch will have to be ;e kept on this area to determine whether0 the scale is capable of killing pines !i- as well as gorse. It will also be im-h portant to find out if the gorse is 1It capable of regenerating on an area that ,i- has been killed off or if the insect will 1f. survive in sufficient numbers to de- ]p stroy seedlings springing up later. j;* <

A SOLDIER’SLETTER

EGYPTIAN IRRIGATION

PRIMITIVE AGRICULTURE

Driver G. Farrell, of Hinds, Ashbur-ton, who is on active service with the2nd New Zealand ExpeditionaryForcein Egypt, has written to his people aninteresting account of his observationson farming. practices in that country,which are a source of great interestto the farming members of the forces.The following embraces Driver Farrrell’s description of irrigation prac-tices:—

Since time immemorial,- he says, theannual flooding of the Nile has meantthe prosperity of Egypt. The first ir-rigation was by. a system of basins—-i.e., the land was divided up byearthen walls, which made the basins,and the flood waters were drained intothese by canals. By these means thesoil was kept thoroughly soaked, anda good soil deposit was left in thewake of the water. The system alsostopped any erosion that might becaused by a fast ebbing river. Thissystem has now practically disappear-ed, and will be found only in UpperEgypt.

With the completion of the dam atNag Hammandi, the whole of Egypt’sfertile valley is now subject to per-manent irrigation. Down to the Medi-terranean the soil is irrigated throughinnumerable canals and water courses.The method is as follows: When theNile floods in July and August, thesluices of the Aswan dam are openedand the reddish brown waters findtheir way to the plains below. Whenthe basins are full enough, the sluicesare regulated so as to keep the waterat the same level for about a month,when the soil is deposited and thewaste water is drained back into theriver, or, in the event of a low flood,drained down to the lower lands. Insome years the flood is not highenough, and it does not reach thehigher levels, so the landholders onthese areas do not pay any water rateor taxes for that year. These peren-nially irrigated parts of the countrytake only enough water from thecanals required for the standing crop.In such case they receive no flood silt,and in the intensive cultivation prac-tised these lands require a great dealof fertiliser. In November, when thewater is receding, and when the wholeof the country is amply supplied, thesluice gates of the Aswan dam aregradually closed, so as to fill the re-servoir, where the water is held forthe lean periods from April to the endof June. The Asynt- dam is controlledin the same way.

Antiquated SystemsThere are six systems of irrigation

in the country, and some of them ap-pear very crude, but they neverthe-less are very effective. One (the Sa-girja) is worked by a contrivance towhich oxen are attached for the mostpart to provide power. The bucketslift the water up to the required level,where it is run into a race which de-livers it to the fields. Another is theArchimdean screw system, which isused extensively. This screw isworked by manpower. It consists ofa long barrel or cylinder inside whichthere is a screw, which lifts the water.The whole thing is in one piece. An-other form is the Shaduf, which con-sists of a long poll placed on a standin see-saw fashion. To one end ofthe pole is attached a counter weight,to the other a bucket, and the fel-laheen works this up and down allday long. A fourth method, when itis possible to , store water in the reser-voirs above the level of the groundallows the water to flow over the fieldswhere required. There is also the sys-tem known as the Tabut, used wherethe level of the water in the canalsis nearly always the same. This sys-tem is supplied by a light woodenwheel, which raises the water in num-erous compartments. The last, but notleast, are power-driven pumps, usedmostly in, the sugar-growing districts,where large quantities of water arerequired. The fields are laid out insquares by means of shallow races,which are damned up to allow thewater to flow over and saturate theadjoining land.

Cropping MethodsThere are only two seasons for agri-

culture in Egypt—the nor’-wester sea-son, lasting from May to November,and the cooler season from Novemberto March. But there are places onthe delta where a short season is alsofitted in. This season is comparableto our autumn. The sowings take placefrom October onwards. The harvestcommences in middle Egypt in April,and in the delta in May. The prin-cipal crops grown then are wheat, bar-ley, beans, and -barsim (the Egyptianclover). The hot season begins withthe sowing in May of the crops, whichare mainly rice and cotton, and alsosugar cane.

The agricultural implements of thenatives are exceedingly primitive, andremind one of the Biblical pictures.The chief implement is the old woodenplough, which, it is stated, has notchanged a bit in 5000 or 6000 years.This fact can be proved from themany old monuments, and also in thesystem of hieroglyphics. The ploughis drawn by oxen or camels. It doesnot turn a furrow over like the mod-ern plough, but just breaks the soil uplike a cultivator. In recent yearsthere have been quite a few, tractorsand American ploughs introduced, butthey are few and far between. It hasbeen found that when a plough simi-lar to those we have is used the cropshave deteriorated, and now cultivatorsare being used instead—a stiff-tynedtype. The reason of the non-successof the plough is that it does not leavethe ground open enough after its in-tensive irrigation.

The grain is all reaped by hand, andin many cases it is just pulled outroots and all. Threshing is done bya machine very similar to our owndisc harrow. This contrivance isdrawn over the corn to be thresheduntil it crushes the ears and strawup into a fine chaff, after which thegrain is separated by winnowing fansand a large sieve. The chaff is baggedup and used for fodder. There arequite a few up-to-date threshing ma-chines to be seen in the delta, but theprimitive method is mostly in vogue.

Driver Farrell mentions in his letterthat nearly a third of the arable land(1,500,000 acres) yields 750,000,0001b ofcotton a year, with a value of about£40,000,000. Another main export cropis rice, with an annual crop of35,000,0001b. Onions also have an ex-port value of £700,000 yearly.

INCREASED CHEESEPRODUCTION

Returns from two Banks Peninsulacheese factories show that there wasan increase in cheese production forSeptember, as compared with thecorresponding month a year ago. Inthe case of Okain’s Bay factory theincrease was 4$ tons, the total outputfor the month being 17i tons. At theLittle Akaloa factory the increase wasli tons, the total output for the monthbeing 3J tons. The more favourablespring weather conditions account forthe increased output.

Zealand announce that an interimdividend of 9d per share on ordinaryshares will be paid on December 6.The half-yearly dividend on the D longterm mortgage shares will also be paidon the same date, at the rate ofper cent, per annum, reduced by onepenny for every lOd or part thereof onaccount of Social Security charge andNational Security tax.

The dividends are payable in NewZealand currency.

GRAIN AND PRODUCEPOTATOES STILL FIRM

The potato market developed a firm-ing tendency during the week, al-though values are too unstable to war-rant a definite quotation. Nominallythey range from £ll to £l2 for whitesand Dakotas, and £l2 for Sutton’sSupreme. The season is unusually latethis year, and this is delaying the ar-rival of new potatoes in any quantityon the market, and it is likely that theold season’s supply will have to be de-pended upon for the next two or threeweeks. Ordinarily there is a fair show-ing of the new crop towards the endof October. There are still Inquiriesfrom the north, but there are fewpotatoes about. Anybody with smallparcels can get a good price for themat the moment.

There is little difference in othermarkets. With the advance of thespring growth the chaff demand haspractically ceased.

Heavy quantities of pea seed, of allvarieties, have gone out to farmers,and with a favourable season therewill be another substantial crop. Ex-port prospects are again favourable.

Most stocks of small seeds have goneinto use. Practically all the high ger-mination and purity clover seed hasgone, most of it by export. The whiteclover crop last season was the biggeston record in the South Island, and asmost of it found a ready market, prin-cipally for export at good prices, an-other heavy crop is anticipated if the ’weather should be as favourable. Theexport of Montgomery red clover hasalso been heavy. Production of thisseed is increasing each year.

Cocksfoot is slightly easier, due toAmerican supplies affecting the Homedemand.

HAY’S, LIMITEDYEAR’S OPERATIONS

The chairman of Hay’s, Ltd., Mr W.H. E. Flint, reviewing the operations ofthe year at the annual meeting of share-holders on Wednesday, referred to thecontinued progress of the company andthe satisfactory year’s trading. The liquidposition of the company was sound, thecredit at the bank at balance date being£5987. The book debts, amounting to£12,568, were less than last year’s figuresby £2432, and all bad. debts had beenwritten off. The bad debt item was onewhich gave the company very small con-cern.

Mr Flint stated that the company hadnow firmly established itself in the Christ-church community from small beginningsand had developed to a business with agood turnover with solid public support.The bal ince-sheet figures for the firstyear’s trading (1933-34) had a total of£24,294, with a net profit of £1950, andthis year’s figures showed more than£93,700 as the balance-sheet total and anet profit of more than £7OOO (after pay-ing taxation). The amount available fordistribution was £14,984 13s 6d, and thedirectors’ recommendation was to pay adividend of 7J per cent., to transfer £3OOOto a general reserve account, leaving acarry forward of £8673 10s 9d to nextyear, as against the amount brought for-ward from last year of £7955 0s 4d.

The chairman mentioned that since clos-ing the books on August 19. the companyhad subscribed £2OOO for the last Warloan.

Mr Flint stated that the company iswell served by its staff, who give Mr Hayall their support and help, and it islargely due to this atmosphere, "thefriendly store,” that so much has beenachieved, and the directors wish to re-cord their appreciation to the staff.

The report and balance-sheet wereadopted on the motion of the chairman,seconded by Mr H. P. Donald.

The PressSATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1941.

Far Eastern CrisisA few days ago London newspapers weretalking of a “perceptible abatement of“Japanese threats of aggression.” This opti-mistic view of the Far Eastern situation wasprobably related to the return from Tokyo toWashington of Mr Wakasugi, the JapaneseMinister to the United States. Probably cor-rectly, it was- assumed that Mr Wakasugibrought fresh proposals from Prince Konoye toend the deadlock in the Washington discus-sions. Swiftly but not unexpectedly the out-look has been transformed for the worse andwar in the Pacific is closer than it has been for20 years. The immediate cause of the changeis that the successes of the German armies inRussia have convinced the Japanese army

leaders, and apparently some elements in thenavy, that the time for action has come,thereby upsetting the precarious political bal-ance which has kept the Konoye Governmentin office. The reason given officially for theCabinet’s resignation is that its members can-

not agree on the conduct of negotiations withthe United States. That is probably true, forit is clear that the issues at stake in thesenegotiations are the vital issues of Japanesepolicy. For two months now Japan has beensubjected by the United States to an economicblockade which, although it could be drawnstill lighter, is nevertheless hampering her in-dustries and compelling her to use up reservesof certain vital commodities, of which the mostimportant is oil. In addition, recent Chinesevictories at Changsha and Ichang have shownwhat Lease-Lend aid from the United Statesmeans to the morale and the striking power ofthe Chinese armies. Yet Lease-Lend aid toChina is only beginning. The Japanese armyleaders argue that, if Japan is ever to breakthrough the ring of encircling Powers andestablish control over sources of vital rawmaterials, she must do it before the presentembargoes seriously deplete her oil stocks andbefore Lease-Lend enables China’s mass armiesto take the offensive. The civilians in theKonoye Government, hitherto with the supportof the navy, have staked their political exist-ence on an effort to lift the economic embar-goes by diplomatic bargaining. Washington’sprice for a' resumption of normal trade rela-tions has not been disclosed, but is reported insome United States newspapers to includeJapanese withdrawal from all of China exceptManchukuo and a Japanese undertaking not toengage in further aggressive action, eitheragainst Russia or against her southern neigh-bours. Whether or not this guess is near themark, it is fairly obvious that the United Statesand Japan cannot reach a fundamental agree-ment on the Far Eastern situation unless oneside or the other is prepared to sacrifice prin-

which it has declared to be vital. In theview of the Japanese militarists, the UnitedStates Government has never seriously hopedfor an agreement and has pursued discussionsolely for the purpopse of gaining time. Iftheir view prevails, the negotiations will bebroken off and Japan will strike—probablynorthwards against Russia, in the hope thatBritain and the United States will leave Russiato her fate.

Drowning AccidentsStartling figures were revealed in the com-parative analysis of drowning and fatal motoraccidents prepared by the National Committeeof Swimming and Life 1 Saving. The analysisshows that in the October-March period for thelast 10 years 848 drownings and 844 fatalmotor accidents have occurred in New Zealand.No one will question the committee’s commentthat the report clearly indicates the need forgreater educational work in swimming andlife-saving, and for the money to do it. Thecommittee also declared its belief that, if thenumber of drowning accidents is to be reduced,it is necessary to have swimming compulsorilytaught m the schools and to provide the tuitionpools for the purpose. Undoubtedly, it isamong children that the most valuable prac-tical educational work can be done; but in-terest must be stimulated among adults aswell. If all parents would take as much in-terest in their children’s swimming as they doin their other sports, progress would soon bemade. Most parents are satisfied, once theirchildren have learned to swim, to leave it atthat; but they should be brought to realise thatto swim is good but to swim well is a greatdeal better. Many of those who drown duringthe bathing season are not non-swimmers butpoor swimmers. Boys and girls who have justlearned to swim place themselves, in greaterdanger through over-confidence than the non-swimmers, who take few risks; and on thebeaches they add to the anxieties and perils ofmembers of life-saving clubs. It is thereforeessential that children should be encouraged, inthe safety of their school swimming pools, topractise until they become strong swimmersbefore they are permitted to venture, un-escorted, into the more difficult conditions ofthe sea or the rivers. Parents should recog-nise that no sport more evenly and strongly de-velops the human frame than swimming. Itcan be abundantly proved that weakly, ill-shaped children, and even adults, have beendeveloped to strength and beauty by this splen-did exercise. Almost equally important istraining in life-saving and resuscitation. Ifsomeone in every party of swimmers were a

skilled life-saver, a tremendous reduction inthe number of drownings would follow. Fre-quently persons have been rescued from thewater, but in vain, because nobody present hasbeen able to apply the simple measures neces-sary to clear lungs of water and restore normalbreathing. The public owe a tremendous debtof gratitude to the members of swimming andlife-saving organisations who have, thoughpoorly encouraged and poorly financed, carriedon their valuable educational work over a longperiod of years. The Minister for InternalAffairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, remarked, incomment on the report above-mentioned, “ The"societies have a fair claim to assistance from“the Government, .insurance companies, local"bodies, and the public.” That is an under-statement. The societies have established adefinite right to assistance and active encour-agement. They should have both without theneed to beg for theift,

AIR TRAINING CORPS

Christchurch SquadronActivities

CAMPAIGN FOR RECRUITS INNOVEMBER

A campaign to obtain more recruits for theChristchurch Squadron of the Air TrainingCorps will begin next month. The squadronhas a strength of 248 and is still accepting en-rolments, but it is hoped that the campaignwill provide enough recruits for the formationof a second squadron. Each squadron has astrength of 200 and is divided into four flightsof 50.

Nearly 3000 young New Zealanders havenow enrolled in the Air Training Corps, whichwas formed primarily to provide a trainingground for future air crews and ground per-sonnel of the Royal New Zealand Air Force.Provision has been made for .the training offitters, flight mechanics, flight riggers, radiomechanics, and wireless operators. More than400 members of the corps are being taught bycorrespondence, and 1500 have been enrolled inunits which are being formed in the principalsecondary schools, including those in Christ-church,

The appointment of Wing Commander G. A.Nicholls as corps commandant was recentlyannounced. The South Island divisional com-mandant is Squadron Leader W. H. Shepherd,and the adjutant for the Christchurch area isFlying Officer J. A. Poulsen.

Members of the Air Training Corps are auto-matically exempted from territorial service.When they have finished their training, how-ever, they are still liable for service againunless they join the Royal New Zealand AirForce or the Fleet Air Arm.

Although the Christchurch Squadron isworking on a preliminary training syllabus,excellent progress has been made. Much as-sistance has been received from Royal NewZealand Air Force personnel and private in-structors, and the programme includes lectures,drill, and physical training. The recruit train-ing staff from the Harewood elementary flyingtraining station is drilling the squadron, andphysical training is in the hands of Mr K. A.Muff, physical welfare officer for the Depart-ment of Internal Affairs in Christchurch.Technical instruction will be given later whenequipment is provided from Wigram andHarewood.

Release for Seasonal Work“Arrangements have already been made f°

release public works employees all over NewZealand for seasonal work in the same manneras that done in the previous year, said theMinister for Public Works (the Hon. H. T.Armstrong) in replying to an urgent questionby Mr T. D. Burnett (Opposition, Temuka) mthe House yesterday. The Minister said thatthis would no doubt result in public worksbeing slowed down in certain localities. Wherethe retention of key men was essential to safe-guard work already done they would not bereleased.—P.R.

Liverpool State Mine IdleThe Liverpool State mine was idle yesterday

because of heating in the No. 1 level of theMorgan East section. During the inspectionyesterday morning steam was discoveredissuing fr6m a fissure in a concrete stopping,and the management considered that it wouldnot be wise for the mine to be worked. Theerection of two stoppings was commenced im-mediately to seal off the fire, and it was ex-pected that they would be completed .by mid-night. The area where the heating has oc-curred has been almost worked out, and only asmall quantity of coal will be lost. The minewill probably resume on Monday.

Telephone Lines Damaged“I suppose we will have to face up to this,”

said, the chairman of the Heathcote CountyCouncil (Mr A. G. Williams) at the meeting ofthe council last evening when members wereconsidering a complaint of damage to telephonelines. $A letter was received from the Post andTelegraph Department advising that one of thedepartment’s 25-pair cables, at the foot ofRapaki road, was damaged by one of the work-men excavating for the Murray-Aynsley Hillwater main. The damage had led to five sub-scribers’ lines being put out of action. Thecouncil (it was reported to members) wasbeing held responsible for the damage and thecharge for repairs.

Parade for Works CompanyA full-day parade for the Works Company of

St. Martins Tram TracksThe Heathcote County Council was advised

at its meeting last evening that the Christ-church Tramway Board had applied, “by amemorial submitted to the Governor-Generalon September 8,” for authority to remove thetramway tracks on the St. Martins line, onwhich tramway buses are now being used. Theboard stated that the tracks would be removedfrom Wordsworth street to the terminus, andthat as soon as a reply was received the coun-cil would be advised.

Judge’s Examination PaperThat counsel had, in fact, set him an

examination paper and expected him to answerevery question was the jocular complaint of MrJustice Blair in the Supreme Court yesterdaywhen dealing with a case in which five ques-tions about the interpretation of a will wereset out for the Court to determine. His Honourremarked that in most examination papers ofhis experience there were at least one or twooptional questions, so that the candidate couldpick the easy ones. On the Bench he was notpermitted any such choice.

Left on the Road“From what we can understand in one case

it was the result of some sort of drunken out-fit and the man concerned had gone to the warin the meantime,” said the inspector (Mr W. W.Scarff), when commenting on a report to theHeathcote County Council by the traffic inspec-tor (Mr A. J! Tait) on motor-cars left un-attended for long periods. The report said;—“Recently two cars have been left on the roadday and night in the Cashmere riding. Theowners were notified to remove them, butfailed to do so. I then had them towed to thecouncil’s yard, from where they were laterclaimed.” The inspector suggested that infuture, when such action was necessary, asmall charge be made to cover the cost. Itwas stated by Mr Scarff that one of the motor-cars had been left right in the middle of theroad.

Truancy Among School Children“As far as Canterbury is concerned I do not

think we have much to be worried about,” saidMr R. Wild at a meeting of the CanterburyEducation Board yesterday, when Mr J. J. Hur-ley referred to a North Island complaint byheadmasters of the prevalence of truancy andthe practice of some school children of visitingpicture shows as frequently as five* times aWeek. Mr Wild said the Canterbury boardwas fortunate in having a very efficient attend-ance officer. It was decided that members begiven the opportunity of studying the reportbefore discussing the statements contained in itat the next meeting of the board.

Parcels for War PrisonersThe phristchurch Prisoners of War Depot,

which is controlled by a committee of theJoint Council of the Order of St. John and theNew Zealand Red Cross Society, has receiveda number of parcels from the next-of-kin ofCanterbury soldiers who are, prisoners of warin Germany. The committee reports that 25parcels reached the depot during the week, andthese were all in good order and well packed.Most of these parcels have already passed thecensor and have been dispatched by the PostOffice.

Developing Deteriorated LandA select committee of eight members to

consider the best means of bringing back intoproduction or developing and using de-teriorated or marginal land was appointed bythe House yesterday. The committee wasauthorised to sit during the recess and willreport to the House within 28 days of the com-mencement of the next session. The commit-tee comprises Messrs W. J. Broadfoot, W. S.Goosman. D. C. Kidd. B. Roberts, J. Robertson,E. T. Tirikatene, J. Thorn, and C. M. Williams.—P.R.

Convalescent Training DepotsWork has started on the erection at Silver-

stream of a Convalescent Training Depot forsoldiers. It will be under the control of theArmy and not the Hospital Board as is thecase with ordinary convalescent hospitals.Similar depots for short-term convalescentsoldier patients will be erected near the Papa-kura and Burnham Military Camps. The depotswere for hardening those who had been in hos-pital before they returned to trapping camps,said the Director-General of Medical Services(Brigadier F. T. Bowerbank) in an interviewyesterday. They would be a stepping-stonebe-tween the extrehie comfort of hospital and themore rigorous conditions of camp life. It wasnot intended to treat in these depots long-termconvalescent soldiers, who would be sent toHanmer and Rotorua.—P.A,

“TENSE HOUR INOUR COUNTRY”

Position In EuropeAnd Pacific

PRIME MINISTER’SREVIEW

(P.R,) . WELLINGTON, October 17.The gravity of the international situ-

ation, both in Europe and in the Pa-cific, was emphasised by the PrimeMinister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser) inhis valedictory speech in the Houseto-day. He said he did not wish tostrike an alarmist or pessimistic note,but members would understand thatthey would leave the House not know-ing when they would be called back.

Mr Fraser said, in reviewing the ses-sion, that Parliament had never metin more serious or critical times. Hefelt he was speaking at the mostcritical moment since September 3,1939.

“At the present moment, with Rus-sia in retreat, with Moscow practicallyin the hands of the enemy, with theGovernment evacuating Moscow, anaambassadorial staffs also leaving infront of the enemy, with the fate ofLeningrad in the balance, and withthe position in the Pacific getting mo-mentarily more uncertain and critical,we must feel that this is a tense hourin our country,” Mr Fraser said. I donot wish to develop the thought. 1only pray, with everybody else, tnatwhat has befallen our Mother Countryand the nations of Europe will not bethe fate of the Pacific countries. But,if we are involved, all I would say isthat we would stand up, and I knowwe would as courageously as our boyshave done in the field, in the air, andat sea, as the people of Britain havedone, as our Allies have done, and asRussia is doing to-day.

Parliament May Be Summoned“For that reason, members must

leave the House not knowing whenthey will be called back,’ he said. 1can assure them that if the situationbecomes more critical they will besummoned at the first moment it isnecessary to do so. The country willexpect and will have the right to ex-pect that the representatives of thepeople should consult together imme-diately danger looms up. I do notwant to strike an alarmist or pessi-mistic note. No matter what comeswe will fight until victory is achieved.But it will mean that every one of uswill have to put out every, ounce ofenergy and sacrifice everything in theeffort to assist toward victory. ’

Mr Fraser said that unprecedentedco-operation had been shown in theHouse in some respects. He mention-ed, particularly, the recent extraordin-ary decision to postpone the election,a decision which, he said, had beenmore than justified already in the lightof developments overseas, and whichwas a striki proof, too, of the fun-damental co-operation among me“F

“F sincerely trust we will not haveto be called together to meet a criti-cal situation.” he concluded. I knowthat if wehave to we will face it cour-ageously and efficiently. If we havepeace instead pf belligerency in thePacific I hope all will have a pleasantholiday season.” ,

* . /n/r«The Leader of the Opposition (Mr

S. G. Holland), in a brief reply, as-sured the Prime Minister of the whole-hearted co-operation of the Oppositionat all times. He said that if there wasanything the Opposition could do tohelp to shorten the war and hastenvictory it would be done.

LESSONS OF WAR�—

PLACING INDUSTRY INSMALL TOWNS

EFFECT ON PROBLEM OF

REHABILITATIONDoubts whether the lessons of the

bomber, as they applied to sites chosenfor manufacturing industry, had beenlearned, were expressed by the Rev.A H. McC. Acheson at a meeting oithe Synod of the Diocese of Christ-church yesterday. Mr Acheson, whowas discussing a resolution about tnerehabilitation of soldiers said thatwhen the men came back he did notwant to see them all crowding intothe cities. There should be some en-couragement for the men to go backto their own home towns.

In spite of the lessons of the war,town-planning schemes were beinggone ahead with in New Zealandwhich crowded manufacturing indus-try all into certain specified areas oftowns. Many people were dazzled bymass production, forgetting that inEngland 80 per cent, of the factoriesemployed no more than 25 people.

Mr E. de Valera had expressed hisambition to have a factory in everycountry town in Eire. New Zealandmight learn from that same aim, andapply it. Another object lesson wasprovided by the industrial co-opera-tives organised in China by Mr RewiAlley.

It seemed that nothing on theselines was being planned in New Zea-land. To decentralise industry in thisway Government initiative was neces-sary to see what was suitable.

On the motion of Canon S. Parr, thefollowing resolution was adopted:—“That this Synod notes that the Gov-ernment is giving consideration to therehabilitation of returned soldiers, anddraws the attention of Church peopleto the duty of seeing that demobilisedmen are suitably reinstated in civillife.”

OBJECTORS TOWAR SERVICE

�REPORT ON TEACHERS’

POSITION

.“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATPRESENT”

"That is highly confidential at pre-sent," said the chairman (Mr G. W.Armitage) at the meeting of the Can-terbury Education Board yesterdaywhen Mr R. Wild asked whether therewas a report cn a conference in Wel-lington on the position of teachers whoare conscientious objectors to militaryservice.

Mr Armitage pointed out that thesubject was on the agenda paper for

meeting in the "committee” section.This item of the board’s business waslisted on the order paper as follows:

"Teachers whp are conscientious ob-jector's to military service:—Presenta-tion of report by chairman and secre-tary, who visited Wellington on Octo-ber 2 to confer with the Minister, offi-cers of the department and chairmenand secretaries of boards on the ques-tion of teachers who are conscientiousobjectors.”

No report was issued to the press onthe resumption of the board in openmeeting.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

VIRUS CARRIED BYFLIES

NEW YORK. October 16.Dr. John Paul and Dr. James Trask,

of the Yale Medical School, reportedto the American Public Health Asso-ciation the discovery that commonflies carry the virus of infantileparalysis from one human to another.This is based on an earlier discoverythat the virus of poliomyelitis is c;u •

ried in sewage.The exact species of the flies has not

been determined, but the doctors sus-pect the green bottlefly and similarspecies, possibly including the ccmmonhouse fly, which feed on manure.

It is now evident that infantileparalysis is a disease of the intestinaltract as well as the spinal cord.

DUTCH INDIES SEEKFOUR-POWER ALLIANCE

far east

[By "The Tfi-es'’ Special Co

LONDON, September 22.It is hardly possible to exaggerate

the importance of the Netherlands In-dies’ participation in the Anglo-Ameri-can economic measures against Japan.

Without Dutch co-operation no schemedesigned to deprive Japan of essentialraw materials could be complete, butthe announcement by Dr. H. J. vanMook, director of Netherlands Incheseconomic affairs, that the Indies wouldimpose precisely the same restrictionsas the United States and Great Bri-tain had a deeper significance. lae

Netherlands Indies thus proved a fullpartner in the democratic front againstaggression in the Far East.

Refusal by the Dutch to make anyconcessions of value to Japan duringthe economic talks with Mr Kobayashiand Mr Yoshizawa meant that theJapanese mission had to return toTokyo almost empty-handed, and wasa good sign. Yet it meant no morethan that the Netherlands Indies wasfighting its own battle for independ-ence and assisting to restore freedomto the Netherlands by refusing to sellto Japan war materials which mighteventually be sent to Germany. Par-ticipation in the economic offensive inline with Great Britain and the UnitedStates meant that the Indies authori-ties also took a wider view of their re-sponsibilities and were prepared to runcertain admitted risks in carrying themout in co-operation with others. TheNetherlands Indies’ attitude needs tobe considered in relation to Japanese-Dutch relations at the time the decis-ion was taken. The Dutch have allalong beep naturally suspicious of Jap-anese ambitions in the south, but they

wanted, if possible, to keen on goodterms with Tokyo. They felt that halftheir victory in the economic talks wasthat Mr Yoshizawa had left Bataviaon the most amicable terms with theirown negotiators. Dr. van Mook hadeven been to the docks to see him on,and whatever the Japanese missionmay have felt about their own failurethey did not utter any harsh words orthreats. They parted nominally asgood friends who had agreed to differover a knotty problem.

,

But when the Netherlands IndiesGovernment was informed by theNetherlands Government in London ofthe proposals for economic actionagainst Japan, it did not hesitate forone moment in agreeing that the In-dies must take a parallel course. TheDutch, in the Bast as much as inEurope, were until May. 1940, strongadvocates of neutrality, and when itsbankruptcy vin the modern world wasshown them with dramatic*and tragic

suddenness, their conversion to thecontrary policy of a united front wasremarkably rapid. Perhaps a few old-fashioned Dutch officials still think interms of a neutral Netherlands Empire,but most. are convinced that theirfuture, and that of their home countryand colonies, depends entirely on thewillingness of the peace-loving nationsto join in opposing Hitler and his FarEastern partners.

The Dutch wanted to bring FrenchIndo-China, even as a Vichy colony,within the anti-aggression front, andwere prepared to run risks to that end.It did not prove practicable. The pro-posal for an economic campaignagainst Japan, above all one in.whichthe United States would play a fullpart, was warmly received in Batavia.They are now saying in the Indies thatthe countries which have combined ineconomic opposition should combine ina military defensive alliance.

Absence of DeclarationAnglo-Dutch co-operation in the East

is now almost as complete as it can be;it lacks only an official declaration. Forsome reason or other the alliancewhich is quite unambiguous in regardto the European war has never beenspecifically extended' to the Malaysianregion. The absence of such a declara-tion does not seem to have preventedco-operation between Singapore andBatavia, and the Japanese must knowthis. Why not, say the Dutch, make itclear to the world? Believing that dip-lomatic activity can still be effective inkeeping Japan within bounds, theDutch would like most of all to seethe establishment of a formal “A.B.C.D.front’’ in the shape of an alliance be-tween Australia, Britain (in Singaporeand Malaya), China, and the DutchEast Indies. They know it already ex-ists in effect, but they think it would beuseful to put it on record in writing.Dutch diplomacy is busy to that end,believing that on6e such a four-Poweralliance existed the United Statesmight not be long in adding her sig-nature.

The Dutch have no mean contribu-tion to make to such an alliance. Neth-

DISCUSSION BY SYNOD

TREATMENT OF BALLOTAPPEALS

The advisability of permittingclergy and students for orders drawnin ballots to take up combatant ornon-combatant service with the NewZealand Forces other than in thecapacity of chaplain, was consideredby the Christchurch Diocesan Synodat its sitting last evening. The dis-cussion arose on a motion from MrR. S. D. Harman in which it wasstated that the intention was to giveclergy and students the opportunityof widening their experience and ofmaking that closer contact with menof their own generation which couldbe gained only by common experiencein the theatre of war.

Mr Harman said that many youngmen in the service of the Church, ortraining for it, were being deprivedof the comradeship which meant somuch among men in’ the field. Theywere being handicapped in theirfuture work. He urged that they benot separated from their fellows, de-prived of the right to share in theexperience of their generation, and oftheir future parishioners. The influenceof a God-fearing man on his com-panions could be very important.

Archdeacon A. J. Petrie said thatthe battlefield, while bringing outmuch that was coarse and rough, alsobrought out the very noblest instinctsin man.

Canon S„ Parr said clergy and stud-ents could take up service in spite ofthe Bishop’s appeal. The motion wasunnecessary.

The Rev. W, S. Southward said thatif a clergyman felt it was good andright for a Christian to ‘take part inwar, then he should be prepared todo so himself if called upon.

The motion was withdrawn.

RAKAIA GORGEBRIDGE

UNSAFE FOR HEAVYTRAFFIC

PLANS FOR REBUILDINGOR STRENGTHENING

The timber truss bridge over the Ra-kaia river in the Rakaia gorge hasbeen considered unsafe for heavytraffic, and at present surveys are be-ing made to determine its actual con-dition. In tHe event of a nationalemergency considerable trouble andconfusion might result if heavy trafficwas not able to cross the river.

Plans for either rebuilding or streng-thening the structure, which is at thamouth of the Rakaia gorge, 10 milesfrom Methven, are under considera-tion by the Public Works Departmentin Wellington.

In a statement to “The Press” yes-terday, Mr T. G. Beck, district publicworks engineer, said that even be-fore war was declared this bridge wason the list for ultimate renewal, butnothing up to now had been done. Inthe end, .this bridge would inevitablyhave to be replaced, but the proposalto be considered. Mr Beck said, waswhether it would be possible only tostrengthen it, a job which would havoto give satisfaction at least until afterthe war.

It was probably in no worse condi-tion than some other Canterbury riverbridges, which bore notices with awarning against use by heavy traffic,Mr Beck said, but it was the onlymeans of crossing the river in thatregion, and as it was on a main high-way all precautions had to be taken.

If it is decided only to strengthenthe bridge, the work will be madesimpler, bfecause the bed. except intimes of flood, carries no water, andoperations there could be carried outwithout difficulty. In other regions oithe river, where the water is deeperand swifter, such a plan would hemuch more difficult.

The steel truss bridge which crossesthe main channel of the river onlyabout 200 yards away is of fairly re-cent construction, and will not neeaany alteration.

GERMANTHREATTO MOSCOW

Fighting At OuterDefences

LITTLE PROGRESSMADE

(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.)

(Received October 17, 11 p.m.)LONDON, October 17.

While the battle for Moscow continues withmounting ferocity there has been no news of any sub-stantial progress by the Germans in the last 24 hours.Reports indicate that the Germans are battering at theouter forts of the defences, approximately 60 milesfrom the capital.

It is not certain whether the Russian admissionthat the Germans on Tuesday night penetrated theirdefences on the central front refers to the northernwing of the movement against Moscow or somewherenearer the Vyazma-Moscow road, but the Stockholmcorrespondent of “The Times” says there is no definiteevidence that the Russians have yet yielded furtherground under pressure from Vyazma or Bryansk,although the Germans claim that their offensive inthese areas has gathered new strength from the releaseof forces by the extinction of large Russian pockets.

It is now practically certain that Marshal Timo-*shenko was obliged to weaken his men and materialdefending Kalinin when pressure from Vyazma andBryansk required him immediately to bring up anypossible reinforcements. Taking an obvious risk hesucceeded in stemming the tide against his centre,probably hoping that more distant reserves wouldarrive in time to secure the depleted sector furthernorth. This explains why the Germans have been ableto advance rapidly against Kalinin since the week-end.

A German spokesman in Berlin said last night thatMoscow was not anywhere near encircled and therewas plenty of room for civilians from the city or thearmy to move eastwards,

Meanwhile, there are reports that the entire diplo-matic corps in Moscow and also the staff of the RussianForeign Office have left the capital.

Since the Axis claim to have occupied Odessa,there has been little fresh news from the other fronts.The Moscow radio yesterday said the Russians werecontinuing vigorous counter-attacks on the Leningradfront and had forced the Germans to retreat from a

village. Snow is falling in Leningrad, whereis also thick fog.

The Russian midday communiquesays that Russian troops continued toengage the enemy along the wholefront. The fighting was particularlystubborn in various sectors of the cen-tral front.

The midnight communique gavesome details of the work of guerrillaunits in the defence of Moscow. _ltsaid that in the Kalinin area Russianguerrillas killed 1000 German soldiersand destroyed munition lorries,bridges, and pontoons. An enemy con-voy was destroyed in the Orel area.

The Stockholm correspondent of“The Times” says that the fateof Moscow is hanging in the balanceand that the situation is perhaps morecritical than ever, but as long as thespirit of Russian troops remains ashigh as at present, sober observersconsider that the chances are stillabout equal. They recall a similar ap-pearance of German invincibility inthe spring of 1918. which collapsedwhen their opponents persistently re-sisted and stubbornly refused to re-cognise the enemy’s invincibility.

To this should be added the declara-tion of “Pravda” war correspondents:“Our men fighting on the central fronthave one word only, ‘Moscow.’ It ringslike a call to determination and un-paralleled bravery. Like a pledge, itunites all front-liners.”

After reading the midday Russiancommunique yesterday the Moscowradio declared: “A serious threat toMoscow has thus arisen. The corpsesof hundreds of thousands of Germanofficers and soldiers and many hund-reds of German tanks and aeroplanes•trew the battlefield, but availing him-

self of his numerical superiority on thecentra] front the enemy has Increasedthe pressure, and is now nearing theapproaches to Moscow. The enemyhopes to disarm the Soviet people, butthe Soviet people cannot be frightened.They know that they are fighting fora just cause. Moscow’s workers areforming detachments with which to fillin the ranks of the Red Army. Thepeople of Moscow, like the citizens ofLeningrad and Odessa, will defendtheir native towns, arms in hand. Thereserves at the disposal of the Sovietare enormous.

"The enemy has temporarily seizedimportant regions, but we have manyother centres of war industry of thegreatest importance. We are strongerthan the enemy. Comrades, fight tothe last drop of blood for every inchof soil.”

The newspaper “Izvestia,” comment-ing on the situation, states that a greatdanger is hovering over Moscow. Thr>fighting is going on day and night, andthe Russian troops are grimly continu-ing the unremitting struggle. The RedArmy is still very much alive, and thewhole of the people are now joinedwith the Army in the struggle.

A broadcast talk from Leningrad, re-layed to Moscow, said: "Citizens ofMoscow, take' heart from us. Hitlerin September gave an order to takeLeningrad within three days, but forthree weeks we have been attacking.We are driving the Germans from onefortified point after another. The Fas-cists are pressing hard to Mpscow-thev will never see Moscow. Let usdouble our strength and achieve vic-tory at whatever cost.”

LONDON, October 16.A message from Washington says

that the American Ambassador in Mos-cow (Mr Laurence A. Steinhardt) andthe staff of the Embassy re leavingMoscow for an undisclosed destinationin the interior.

Reports are current in Stockholmthat the Swedish Minister has alreadyleft Moscow.

The Stockholm correspondent of the“Daily Mail” says the entire diplomaticcqrps in Moscow and also the Russian’ ’feign Office staff has left the capital. It■ti-oelieved they are going to Kazan,about 430 miles due east of Moscow.The diplomatic corps left on the ad-vice of the Russian Foreign Office, in-dicating that the battle for Moscowwill be fought to a finish. The citywill not be declared an “open town.

The Mayor of Moscow told an Ameri-can journalist who has just arrived inLondon that great stocks, of food andfuel are stored in the Soviet capital.Even without one additional car loadof food or fuel the population couldbe sustained until the spring.

The journalist added: “I saw someof these stores in warehouses ana con-verted buildings in which there aremountains of potatoes, large bins orwheat and barley, and acres of coaland wood. The city will be able tostand a siege for at least six months,even if it is cut off from fresh sup-

GERMAN MORALEFALLING

Effect of LossesIn Russia

FEELING OF FUTILITYSWEEPING COUNTRY

NEW YORK, October 16.German morale is falling in spite

of the claims of sweeping victories in

Russia, states the “New Yorkwhich quotes unimpeachable sourcesin Berlin as its authority for a state-ment that a feeling of wsweeping the country as death notice-in the newspapers reveal the terri-fic losses in Russia.

German domestic propaganda over-shot the mark with lies and promisesof an early victory. Dissatisfaction withthe Nazi leadership is growing. TheGerman people are aware of the in-

tense hatred of the conquered peoplesof Europe and they fear wholesaleslaughter if the German army is re-

moved from the occupied territories.Nazi officers are said to have helped

Polish prisoners to escape in returnfor signed letters'of gratitude. They

hope that these letters will save themwhen the crash comes.

An American radio commentator, MrHarry Flannery, who has returnedafter a year in Berlin, states that thereis a growing tendency among the Ger-man neople to doubt a Nazi victory.The losses on the Russian battlefieldsare having their natural effect. Thereis ‘•erious rivalry between the armyand the Nazi Party. Several secretradio stations have been attackingthe party and lauding the military,but in spite of the conflict of factionsthere is no sign of an early revolt,

and Hitler seems to remain secure.“Germans must not underestimate

British and American war productioncapacity,” is the warning given by the“Frankfurter Zeitung.” “Germanymust win the race for armaments, forwhich reason Hitler has decided to aimat new records in the production ofarms of all kinds. Hitler’s speech onOctober 3 has been misinterpreted.Germany may relax when victory is in

sight,, but it is not in sight yet.

ODESSA SAID TOHAVE FALLEN

Rumanians ClaimSuccess

CITY DEVASTATEDBY FIRE

(Received October 17. 10 p.m.)CU.P.A.) LONDON, October 17.The admission by the Russians yes-terday morning that the Germans onthe central front had broken throughthe Russian defences in one sector wassupplemented last night by furtherevidence of the extreme pressure withwhich the Red armies are menaced atmany points.

A special announcement from theFuehrer’s headquarters declared: “Ac-cording to an announcement from theRumanian General Headquarters,troops of the 4th Rumanian Army yes-terday took the offensive againstOdessa and penetrated the last lines ofresistance. In the afternoon theymarched into Odessa, where the popu-lation received the Rumanian and Ger-man troops enthusiastically.”

Thus ends the epic story of Odessa’sdefence, as there is no reason to doubtthat the city is now in the possessionof the Axis forces, although it mightreasonably be questioned whether thecitizens, who for many weeks sospiritedly hurled every available mis-sile against the invaders, would soreadily switch over to bouquets, as theRumanian High Command naivelysuggests.

The Russians have not confirmedthe Axis claim to have occupiedOdessa.

The fall of Odessa is a serious blowto the Black Sea fleet, but it is notcrippling. It is pointed out that evenif Sebastopol is rendered untenable byan attack against the Crimea Novoros-sisk remains as a naval base.

A Rumanian communique issuedyesterday morning said: “The Ruman-ians have broken through the defencesof Odessa, where the Russians are re-treating along the front. Odessa is inflames, and fighting is continuing. TheRumanians have captured Gniliakovo,13 miles north-west of Odessa, Delnjk,six miles to the westward of Odessa,and Taratea, six miles south-west ofOdessa.”

The Bucharest correspondent of theAssociated Press of America reportsthat Rumanian dispatches state thatOdessa harbour and city are beingdevastated by fire and flames, whichare leaping hundreds of feet into thesky, and which are visible for miles.Rumanian reconnaissance pilots reportscenes of the utmost confusion withinthe “hopelessly doomed city.”

On the southern end of the front,near the Sea of Azov, the Russiansstill appear to be holding the Germanseast of Mariupol. It was stated inMoscow to-day that the Crimea wasstill in telephonic communication withthe mainland.

FINNS CLAIMPROGRESS

PUSH NORTH EAST OFPETROZAVODSK

LONDON. October 16.It was announced in Helsinki that

Finnish armoured units, operatingnorth-eastwards of Petrozavodsk, oc-cupied Gramoskoye and took manyprisoners, including the staff of theRussian Seventh Army, excluding thecommander, General Avakumoff. whoescaped in a car.

The Finns also occupied Mundjarvi,35 miles from the frontier, which theRussians set on fire. .. Moscow claims that Soviet motortorpedo-boats sank two of three con-voy transports in the Gulf of Finland.

FORMER FRENCHLEADERS

DETENTION ORDEREDIN FORTRESS

CHARGES FORMULATEDBY COUNCIL

LONDON, October 16.Four former French leaders have

been detained in a fortress pendingtheir trial at Riom. They are M. Dala-dier who was Prime Minister whenwar broke out; M. Reynaud, who suc-ceeded him; M. Leon Blum, anotherformer French Prime Minister; andGeneral Gamelin, generalissimo of theAllied Forces, who was .replaced byGeneral Weygand.

Marshal Petain announced m abroadcast address to-night that theCouncil of Political Justice had un-earthed evidence which had led thecouncil to ask that these four shouldbe' detained in a fortified place. Theseriousness of the evidence justifiedtheir being confined, while others,against whom the evidence was not soserious, would continue in internment.

The people had a right to know thetruth, and the facts would be exposedto broad daylight. He had asked theCouncil of Justice to announce theresult of the trial as quickly as pos-sible, and there would be no appealagainst the verdict. This would closeone of the most painful periods inFrench history,

The Council of Political Justice hasformulated the following chargesagainst France’s former leaders: —

Against M. Daladier—The Govern-ment led by M. Daladier permittedFrance to enter the war lacking suffi-cient preparations.

Against General Gamelin—As a re-sult of his lack of energy and weak-ness of character General Gamelin al-lowed deficiencies in armament to be-come aggravated. During the war hodisorganised the High Command byhis disastrous decisions and allowedthe army to sink into a stale of ma-terial and moral inferiority.

Against M. Bldm—Before the warM Blum knew the deficiencies in na-tional defence, but failed to giveFrance the arms necessary to assureher security. ,

J „Against M. Cot—He disorganised theair force, encouraged indiscipline andsuoolied the Spanish Popular Frontwith aircraft needed by France.

Against M. La Chambre—When hewas Minister for Air good projectswere rendered ineffective as a resultof his weakness.

Against M. Jacomet—As controllerof armaments he was guilty of culp-able negligence for France’s lack ofindustrial preparation.

GERMANS SEIZEFOOD

Belgium and HollandNear Starvation

MORE EXECUTIONS INPRAGUE

(Received October 17, 9 p.m.)(U.P.A.-8.0.W.) LONDON, Oct. 16.

From reliable reports received inLondon, it is clear that a terriblechange is coming over the Low coun-tries, which before the German occu-pation were of the most prosperousin Europe. The industries of Belgiumare seriously in a state of collapse andagriculture in Holland is ruined. Whatremains of its produce goes to Ger-many. The inhabitants, who formerlyenjoyed one of the highest standardsof living in Europe, are now on theverge of starvation.

In Belgium, a half to three-quartersof production has been requisitionedand sent to Germany. Textile pro-duction, particularly, is suffering froman acute dearth of raw material.

The policy of slow working adoptedby miners is crippling the metal in-dustry, but what coal there is is beingexported to France to assist the morecomplacent heavy industry of Vichy.Two hundred thousand tons goes amonth, and negotiations are in pro-gress to deprive Belgium of even more.Meanwhile the Belgians suffer fromridiculously Inadequate lighting andheating, and their food is always in-sufficient. Often rationed goods onlyexist in theory. At the beginning ofthe harvesting, townspeople went intothe country to glean stray corn, butwithin a few days the Germans issuedorders forbidding this.

A Brussels newspaper says that thecry everywhere is no more bread, tautloaded grain waggons have been seengoing to Germany and German-ownedgranaries have been full, though sig-nificant fires have destroyed some.

Under-nourishment faces the peopleof Holland, once one of the chief dairyexporters the world. Only a littleskimmed milkfis available to the pub-lic. The egg ration is one a month,and the cheese ration one ounce a week.The main Dutch crop of potatoes goesto Germany, while the Dutch are sup-plied with bad potatoes from Poland,black outside and rotten inside. Thequality of the foods has declined andprices have risen to an extent whichmakes it impossible for people withincomes under £4 a week to buy whatthey are entitled to.

The position will become worse, asowing to inflation fears, the Govern-ment is trying to freeze purchasingpower by increased taxes, a wage taxbeing one. Unemployment is still rife.The Nazi promise to end it has beenquite unfulfilled, but Dutch slavelabour is unpopular with the Nazisbecause of the difficult behaviour ofthe Dutch.

The Germans are meanwhile osten-tatiously washing their hands of crimesfor which they are responsible.

Strikes in Coal MinesA special correspondent of “The

Times” states that a significant docu-ment drawn up by a high Vichy officialwho was sent to report on strikes atthe coal mines in the Pas de Calais hasreached General de Gaulle's head-quarters.

The document for the first time ad-mits that the strikes were more wide-spread than was generally known.Ninety-five per cent, of 90.000 minerswere idle for nearly a fortnight, andthe strike was broken only when theGermans resorted to arrests, whichtotalled 2000.

A Vichy official reported that thestrikes were directed against theGermans, for whose armament indus-tries the mines are working exclu-sively, also against Vichy for havinghanded over the mines to the Ger-mans.

The strikes are partly attributed tothe scarcity of food, which has grownsteadily worse.

The occupation authorities in Parishave arrested Professor Emile Berel,a former French Minister for theNavy,No reason is given.

Italians Withdrawn from BelgiumThe Independent Belgian News

Agency states that the recent replace-ment of German troops by Italians inBelgium has not been a success. TheItalians tried to fraternise in the cafes,telling the Belgians they were in *hesame boat because they only wisheddeliverance from the Germans. TheGerman occupation authorities heardthis, and as a result, after 15 days.Italy withdrew the Italians and theGermans took over again.

The Official German News Agencyhas reported that residents of two dis-tricts in Prague have been ordered tosurrender their radios following strongenemy activity and whispering propa-ganda, apparently due to listening toforeign broadcasts.

The Prague correspondent of theBritish United Press states that eightmore men were executed at Pragueand Brno on Wednesday, including aPrague policeman, for listening toforeign broadcasts.

The British United Press correspond-ent at Istanbul says a secret Czechradio is spurring on the serious sabot-age campaign throughout Hungary,and is calling for revolt against theGovernment. The campaign startedonly last week, but already has re-sulted in 200 courts martial.

Officials at Budapest have admittedthe seriousness.of the campaign, andnewspapers are compelled to acknow-ledge i's existence. The authoritiesare unable to prove that in a singleinstance the saboteurs acted for .i for-eign government, but on the contrary,the indications are that sabotage hasbeen committed by patriots who hatethe present Government and oppose itspolicy of handing over Hungary’sgoods to the Germans.

“TOTAL WAR” ONTHE AIR

Wholesale Jamming OfRadio Stations

“GHOST VOICES” HECKLEANNOUNCERS

(Received October 17, 7 p.m.)LONDON, October 16.

"Total war" has broken out amongthe radio services of the warringPowers, says the "Daily Mail." Lastnight there was wholesale jammingof European radio stations. Some an-nouncers were furiously heckled by“ghost voices.”

This radio warfare threatens to re-duce al! broadcasting to chaos. Just be-fore 10 p.m. last nignt every Germanmedium and long-wave station wasjammed, apparently at a given signal.News broadcasts were reduced to faintvoices against a blaring backgroundof screams and whistles.

The Rome radio introduced a novelty—an announcer who broke off his talkfrom time to time to answer backat the heckling voice.

The interrupter of the 8.8.C. ser-vices is known as von Donald, becausehe quacks angrily at times. He wasaudible in the British 9 p.m. newsbulletin. „ _ _

An official statement from the 8.8.C.last night indicated that before the8.8.C. took serious action against vonDonald, listeners would be asked tostate their views on his entertainmentvalue.

A Berlin spokesman denied that thevoice came from any German con-trolled station.

(8.0.W.) RUGBY, October 16.The crew of the trawler Ben Screel,

Meanwhile, the Ben Screel was fill-ing rapidly and the men made readyto launch a boat. A high swell wasrunning and it was necessary to bringthe trawler stern on to it to get theboat away, but the rudder was blownaway.

Thinking quickly in the hail of bul-lets, the skipper got over the side, butby using the winch to veer and haulit, the trawlboard was made to actas a jury rudder and the Screelcame slowly stern on to the swell.The trawler continued to fire at theaircraft which eventually turned forhome losing height and with smokepouring from it

ADMIKAL STARK

NEW GOVERNMENTIN TOKYO

Lieutenant-General TojoTo Be Leader

UNITED STATES ATTITUDETO CRISIS

(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.)

(Received October 17, 11 p.m.)LONDON, October 17.

The Japanese Minister for War (Lieutenant-General Eiki To jo) is to lead a new Government, fol-lowing the resignation of Prince Konoye’s Cabinet.

Lieutenant-General Tojo has been Minister forWar for more than a year. He is a former militaryattache to the Japanese Embassy in Berlin. He wasChief-of-Staff of the Japanese Army in North Chinauntil 1937, w|ien he was recalled to be Vice-Ministerfor War. He was appointed Director-General of Mili-tary Aviation in 1938.

Japanese newspapers continue to warn the peopleof the extreme gravity of the situation, putting theblame on the United States.

The Japanese crisis overshadows even the Russiansituation in United States radio comment. There isdiscussion of the effect of militarist leadership inTokyo.

The Washington correspondent of the “New YorkTimes” said yesterday: “There is an- apparent deter-mination in official quarters to meet force with forceif, as a result-of the Tokyo crisis, Japan should niove,into Siberia, the Netherlands East Indies, or Thailand.The United States Government is cahn and determined.It is convinced that further economic and politicalmanoeuvres to check Japan’s expansionism would befutile.

“It is reported in usually reliable official quartersthat methods of meeting naval and military contin-gencies were discussed by Mr Roosevelt with the InnerWar Council to-day.

“The State Department and the Japanese Embassysaid that their advices did not yet reveal the true situa-tion in Japan. Two possibilities are foreseen here.One is that Prince Konoye resigned in order to bringImperial support behind his policies. If. this is thecase, and he is successful, it will be greeted with relief.The other view is that Prince Konoye failed in his pro-gramme, that the negotiations with the United Stateswill now be terminated, and that the ultra-nationalistswill control the Government. It is believed in Wash-ington that this would mean that Japan is bent upon vmilitary, and perhaps naval, expansion, and will movenorth into Siberia or south into Indo-China, or in bothdirections simultaneously.”

In Tokyo the newspaper “NichiNichi” quoted Admiral Sankichi Taka-hashi as saying; “I admit that in num-bers, at present and in the future, theJapanese Navy is unable to match acertain country's navy. However, ournavy has been training to overcomethat superiority. No longer is it aquestion of numbers, but of moraleand technique, for which reason theJapanese people may rest assured.”

The other navy referred to is ob-viously the United States; Navy.

"Nichi Nichi” further states thatJapan is resolved to break throughthe impasse with the United States andthat the people are united in demon-strating unflinching power.

The Tokyo newspaper “Asahi” says:“Since the Cabinet has resigned onaccount of disagreement and disunity,it can only be expected that the nextCabinet will be headed by a person-who will buckle down to the task ofreinforcing national unity with faithand with personal courage.”

The Tokyo radio announced earlierthat the resignation of Cabinet wouldnot alter the national policy of Japan.She adhered to her policy as laiddown for the Japanese in the AxisPact, and she would continue to carryout that policy. Japan would doeverything possible to avoid a clashwith America.

The Japanese Cabinet InformationBoard Issued a statement that sinceits formation the Konoye Cabinet had

concentrated on every effort to achieveits mission. However, it found it diffi-cult to reach agreement on themethods which should be adopted topursue the national policy, and cameto the conclusion that it should resign.

The Domei Agency states that theresignation of Cabinet followedseveraldays of intensive consultations amongth; Empire’s highest officials, overseme of which the Emperor presided.

The Tokyo correspondent of theAssociated Press of America states'that failure to reach accord with theUnited States and growing militarypressure for action in the crisis aris-ing from German successes in Russiaare strongly indicated as bping themajor factors in the Ministry’s fall.There is a widespread feeling, especi-ally among militarists, that Japan inrecent months has missed too manygolden opportunities and that Russia’sdifficulties now present a chance whichmay never recur.

The Domei Agency recalls that itwas Prince Konoye who opened nego-tiations with America in the- face ofstrong Japanese opposition, followingthe freezing of Japanese assets by theUnited States.

Japanese military spokesmen haveissued stern warnings to the Japanesepeople. The director of- the SecondDivision of the Japanese General Staffsaid that the Japanese move towardspeace through negotiations with theUnited States might end in failure,

LUXURY SPENDINGIN AUSTRALIAPRIME MINISTER’S

WARNING

(Received October 17, 7 p.m.)MELBOURNE, October 17.

A warning that heavier taxation forthe war effort would be necessary un-less the public heeded the Govern-ment’s appeal and purchased fewernon-essential goods was given by thePrime Minister (Mr J. Curtin). Re-duced spending of public money oncivil needs would enable the Govern-ment to use for war production menand materials normally engaged in civilproduction.

There had been no appreciable re-ductions in public spending on non-essential goods, and taxation and loanshad become necessary to reduce pub-lic spending power. Unless his appealreceived a swift and decisive answerthe Government would be faced witha serious rising in prices, and the pub-lic would face a serious post-war posi-tion.

VICHY OFFICIALSRESIGN

DISAPPROVAL OFFRENCH POLICY

(8.0.W.) RUGBY, October 16.M. Saffroy and M. Roche, the first

and second secretaries respectively atthe French Legation in Dublin, haveresigned from the French diplomaticservice. They have sent a letter toAdmiral Darlan stating that they hadhoped to help to convince Vichy of thedanger of the policy followed since theArmistice and of the chances of vic-tory for Britain and her Allies, butthey now “recognise that it is impos-sible usefully to serve our countrywhile serving a Government whichhas ceased to possess all the freedomnecessary for the normal exercise ofits function.”

The maintenance of diplomatic re-presentation, they say, gives worldopinion a wrong idea of the real meansat France’s disposal, and it createsabroad an ambiguous situation fromwhich the enemies of France alonebenefit.

Tf our Government had been sounfortunate as to lose its independencein practice, this cannot be said ofFrenchmen resident abroad. Theyhave had the good fortune to preservetheir liberty. We should, therefore,have no excuse for failing to choosethat line of conduct which our con-sciences dictate.”

B.E.F. IN FRANCEAND BELGIUM

Briefly, because of the break throughUpon a part of the Allied line remotefrom their own, the British Expedition-ary Force found themselves involvedalmost from the start in whatamounted to a continuous rearguardaction in which the situation deterior-ated day by day, and means had tobe devised almost from hour to hourto deal with this emergency or that.Yet nowhere throughout the whole ofthe most difficult and harassing oper-ations can we detect any loss eitherof head or heart on the part of theBritish troops or of the men who ledthem. Their lines cf communicationwere cut. They were hungry andlacking essential equipment. Alliedsupport failed them upon either flank,yet they fought their way unbrokento the Straits of Dover and deliveredsome 80 per cent, of their strengthfrom the enemy’s grasp.”

The dispatch begins inevitably withan interesting comparison betweenconditions under which the British Ex-peditionary Force was conveyed toFrance in September, 1939, and thoseprevailing in August, 1914.

Time had marched on and the avoid-ance of a concentrated air attack wasnow an overwhelming consideration.Calais and Boulogne were held to beout of the question as main landingports, so Cherbourg. Nantes, St. Nazaireand Brest were selected. A move toFrance was begun upon September 10,and was completed, thanks to the elab-orate and secret nature of precautionstaken, exactly on schedule time with-out the loss of a man.

After being collected in theirassembly area between Le Mans andLaval, the British proceeded to theirallotted sector, and on an agreed date.October 3, the first corps was in posi-tion upon the Belgian frontier. ' Itshould be noted that Lord Gorfs wasnot an independent command. He wasunder the orders of General Georges,Commander of the French. The frontof the north-east British sector fol-lowed the frontier from the village ofMaulde to the village of Halluin, andthence to the river Lys to Armen-tieres—familiar territory to many aBritish veteran. The sector coveredTourcoing, Courtrai. and Lille. LordGort established his headquarters atArras, or rather the village of Habarcq,eight miles to the west. New condi-tions of warfare had rendered thewidest possible dispersion necessary,net merely of troops of any given areabut of headquarters staffs as well.

Line of DefencesWinter was spent in the construc-

tion of a line of strong defences, indepth, along the Francp-Belgian fron-tier, from the very point of the Ger-man-Belgian frontier, thus prolongingthe Maginot Line to its logical conclu-sion as a continuous rampart againstn German invasion. But the BelgianGovernment adhered to a policy ofstrictest neutrality.

It was understood that defensiveworks in the form of tank obstacleswere under construction in easternBelgium, but nothing was known forcertain. The Belgian Government,anxicus not to compromise their posi-tion of neutrality, resolutely declinedeither to hold joint staff conferenceswith the Allies or to permit Alliedofficers to enter Belgium and recon-noitre possible positions.

By the end of January, the BritishExpeditionary Force in France stoodat 222,000 men, two corps of threedivisions each with other troops. Baseshad been established and our lines ofcommunication extended from the Bel-gian'frontier in a south-westerly direc-tion through Amiens to 17 ports inwestern and southern France, vari-ous defence schemes had been con-aidered and decided upon so far asthe aloof attitude of the Belgian Gov-ernment permitted with the FrenchHigh Command. But plainly LordGort, confident though he was in hismen, was far from happy about theequipment situation, and on severaloccasions he called the attention of the.War Office to shortages of guns, am-munition. and various technical ap-paratus.

Invasion StartedThe storm broke upon May 10, 1940,

with the simultaneous violation ofDutch and Belgian neutrality by theGermans and an invasion in immenseforce ofboth these countries. Belgiumimmediately called upon the Allies forassistance, and the British Expedition-ary Force, together with the FrenchIst Army on its right crossed thefrontier that day, proceeding at speedfor 60 miles, amid the cheers of theBelgian civilian population, to selectedpositions along the little River Dyle,which runs north and south throughLouvain, east of Brussels.

These positions, had barely beenreached when graive news began tocome in that the Belgians had failed todemolish important bridges upon theirown eastern frontier and were fallingback, pressed by the enemy. Nextday. May 12, came the rumour thatthe French 9th Army upon the rightof the French Ist /Army, oppositeArdennes, at Sedan, was giving waybefore a thrust by German armoureddivisions.

It was more than rumour. It wastragic truth. The French 9th Armydisintegrated completely, and within afew days German tanks and armouredcars were pouring through a gap 20miles wide, heading straight for theFrench coast, and threatening to severthe Allied forces, including the BritishExpeditionary Force, in the north fromthe main body of the French Army tothe south. .

Meanwhile measures were beingtaken to restore the situation in Bel-gium, which had been rendered diffi-cult by the retirement under pressureof the Belgian Army. A conferencewas held at Mons on the afternoon ofMay 12, when it was agreed that Gen-eral Billotte should co-ordinate dis-positions of the British ExpeditionaryForce, Belgian Army, and French Istand 7th Armies. So for a short timethe Dyle line was held with some pro-mise of success.

But events elsewhere were movingtoo fast. On May 15, the Dutch laiddown their arms, creating a new sourceof danger in the north. It was obvious,too, that the French Ist Army on ourTight could not hold on to their pre-sent position much longer. Owing tothe dissipation of the French 9thArmy, their right flank was in theair. It was therefore decided to aban-don the Dyle position and fall back inaccordance with a prepared plan tothe River Escaut, 60 miles westward.This difficult withdrawal was com-pleted by May 19, but the gap to thesouth remained and was growingwider. Enemy troops had penetratedas far as- Amiens and were gettingastride the British lines of communica-tion, which it will be remembered,reached diagonally across France tothe south-west instead of runningstraight back to the Channel.

German armoured vehicles actuallyreached Boulogne as early as May 21.Plainly the situation could only be re-stored by strong counter-attacks acrossthe gap. The initiative and the prin-cipal effort must come from the southside, where French G.Q.G. and mainFrench forces were situated.

Gort’s DispatchesACTIONS LEADING TO

DUNKIRK REVIEWED(P.A.) WELLINGTON. October 17.

The story of Great Britain’s battle against NaziGermany in France and Belgium is now told in LordGort’s dispatches (France and Belgium, 1939-40),which have been issued as a supplement to the LondonGazette. The following is a summary of the dispatches.The story of the Dunkirk evacuation, epic of land, sea,and air/has long been known, and is to-day part ofBritish history, but details of the three weeks’ battlewhich preceded it have not been set forth in continuousand authoritative form until now, when, with the pub-lication of Lord Gort’s official dispatches, the wholenarrative is given to the world. No man of Britishbirth will read it without the profoundest emotion andpride.

But precious hours and days passed.It did not mature. True, after thesupersession of General Gamelin byGeneral Weygand a scheme known asthe Weygand Plan was formulated, butit was never put into execution. Thesituation had deteriorated too swiftly.Lord Gort found himself almost fromthe start thrown largely on his ownresources.

The most pressing need was to or-ganise a line of defence along whathad now become the southern front ofBillotfs army group. This was accom-plished by manning a chain of canalswhich runs through Bethune and St.Omer to Gravelines and the sea. andthe situation was for the moment re-lieved. Second, various emergencyforces were improvised. These werecalled as a rule by names of the gene-ral commanding them—Macforce,Petreforce (Mason Macfarlane, Petre).

The operations of those forces wereparticularly creditable because manyof the troops composing them hadbeen brought out from England, notto fight, but to dig and complete theirtraining. Half-trained and only par-tially-armed. they clung grimly to theCanal du Nord, the Scarpe, Arras,and other key-points. Lastly, on May20, from his scanty reserves Lord Gorteven contrived to organise a force(“Frankforce”) sufficient to counter-attack across the Corridor. It was agallant gesture, and the troops con-cerned reached their objectives for thefirst day. But adequate support wasnot forthcoming, and the effort ended.Still, casualties had been inflictedupon the enemy and delay had beenimposed upon a greatly superiorenemy force against which the “Frank-force” had blocked a vital roadcentre.

BeleagueredOn May 23, the British Expedition-

ary Force found itself in a position ofa beleaguered garrison containedwithin a rough triangle some 50 mileseach way. The base of the trianglewas the sea coast from Gravelines,near Calais, to Nieuport, in Belgium.The apex was at Douai, where mostof the French were situated. Thesouthern side followed the canal lineand was manned chiefly by bur im-provised forces. The eastern side washeld by the three corps of the ori-ginal British Expeditionary Force,with Belgians on their left. Our linesof communication were completelycut. and no more reserves were avail-able. The British Expeditionary Forcewere on half-rations. The WeygandPlan was flickering out, and it wasobvious now that our only alternativeswere surrender, evacuation, or fightto the death.

On May 27, Lord Gort received 'adefinite order from the Secretary ofState for War making it clear that hissole task now was to evacuate toEngland the “maximum number of"your force possible.” On the sameday news came that the King of theBelgians, faced with the now immi-nent collapse of his army, had askedfor an armistice, and that a new gapsome 20 miles wide was thus about toappear in the eastern face of the tri-angle, through which enemy tankscould pour towards the beaches.

Withdrawal NecessaryNothing now remained but to with-

draw to a bridgehead (already recon-noitred) round Dunkirk and cover theembarkation of as many troops as pos-sible. Into the Dunkirk perimeter, asit was called, British and Frenca troopsaccordingly fought their way back.Here, the Royal Navy and the RoyalAir Force came to their help with aflotilla of every kind of craft to bearthem home.

Orders were issued that British andFrench troops were thenceforth to beembarked in equal proportions.

The story of the Dunkirk evacuationhas often been told and need not berepeated here. Indeed, Lord Gort him-self did not see its completion. Hehad already received instructions fromthe British Government, which lefthim no option but that as soon as theBritish Expeditionary Force by evacu-ation fell below the strength of threedivisions he was to hand over to acorps commander and return home.

•Upon May 31 he handed over to Major-General Alexander and sailed thatnight.

Four days later, in the small hoursof June 3, his successor, accompaniedby a senior naval officer, made a tourof the Dunkirk beaches. They weredeserted and empty.

“On being satisfied,” we are told,"that no British troops were left onshore they themselves left for Eng-land.”

Nearly 225,000 British soldiers (in-cluding 13,000 wounded) and 112,000French soldiers had preceded them toEngland not counting some thousandsmore of French troops evacuated fromDunkirk to other ports in France.

The dispatch closes with: “SomeLessons of the Campaign.” They donot include comment on the questionof the High Command of the AlliedForces—for on this question Lord Gortreceived orders from the Governmentand through French Commandersunder whom he was placed. Nor dothey include detailed comment onmilitary lessons on which another re-port has been made to the properquarter. The dispatch does, however,say that "the offensive has regained theascendancy” when undertaken by anarmy amply-equipped for the pur-pose.

The fate of the British ExpeditionaryForce was sealed by the break-throughmany miles from their own front, andnot by any failure of the British troopsto hold positions of their own choos-ing. It also emphasises the paramountimportance of equipment, the factorsof speed and daring_ in the enemy’ssuccess, and the military _ value ofparachute troops and dive-bombers.Demolitions proved their value.

WEST COASTMAN-HUNT

Supplies TakenFrom House

HOPES OF CAPTURERAISED

(0.R.) HOKITIKA, October 17.Recent intensive daylight searches

have provided strong evidence thatStanley Graham. Koiterangi farmer, isconducting nightly searches for sup-|plies of food. Evidence of the active'presence of Graham in the vicinityof Doughboy Hill has heightened thehopes of the authorities that Grahamwill be captured within the next fewdays.

The latest clue to Graham’s presencein the district was the overnight entryof a sawmill residence occupied byGeorge Lindsay, sawmill worker, atLake Arthur, a short distance fromthe farm of Mr R. Villumsan. wherea day or two ago a heifer was shot 1and portions of flesh removed. Eggsand other supplies were removed fromLindsay’s home, which was vacated bythe occupants some days previously.

Police. Army, and civilian organis- jation in the district is now operatingalong the best possible lines, but theutmost precautions are still necessary.It is apparent from Graham’s activitythat he is still a comparatively fit man.hunting at night and lying lowthroughout the day.

Dog Causes ShotsThe continued wanderings of Gra-

ham’s black and white dog in thevicinity of the Graham homesteadcaused Tommy-gun operators lastnight to fire eight or 10 rounds anduse Very lights. It is believed to-day jthat both Graham’s dogs have nowbeen removed from the locality by theauthorities.

Rain yesterday did not greatly hin-der the searchers. There was analmost continuous heavy downpourthis morning, but this did not checkthe activity of large groups cf |searchers detailed to various localitiesin company with local men who havean intimate knowledge of the areas.The weather early this afternooncleared again. The ranges nearby werecovered with an extremely heavy over-night fall of snow, conditions being de-scribed as almost a complete returnto winter.

Wide Area CoveredEven though clues have led the

authorities to concentrate intently onthe area between Doughboy Hill, aboutfive miles from the Graham home, andthe Mount Camelback locality, theauthorities are not overlooking thechances of Graham being in other partsof the district.

Two large search parties are makinga detour of numerous huts, empty orotherwise, over a wide area.

It is generally recognised that theauthorities are playing a waiting gameto some extent, both in the interestof safety and because of the proba-bility of Graham making a false movein daylight. Tt is considered, however,that the lives of some of the moreventuresome searchers are in jeopardyall the time.

One outstanding feature of thesearches is the almost incredible link-up. over a wide area, of Army sig-nallers, who have inspired confidenceby their efficiency in making all pos-sible contacts. The authorities arestill being supported fully ip theirefforts by local residents. Awaitinginstructions at Hokitika, too, a numberof Anfiy men have arrived from Burn-ham to aid in the hunt, which has nowoccupied nine days.

With the exception of the clericaldivision, all police officers now in thedistrict, almost 100. are at the sceneof searching operations, and most ofthem are engaged in daylight recon-noitres.

An extensive check on the nurchaseof groceries or other supplies made byGraham throughout the district forsome time before the tragedies is be-ing made by the police.

Mr G. S. Ridley, who has been inthe Westland Hospital since he waswounded nine days ago. is reported tobe comfortable, .but his condition isstill serious.

Graham’s CareerGraham was educated at Kokatahi,

where he was born 41 years ago. Heis the younger son of one of the best-known and respected families on theWest Coast.

A keen rifle shot, a fine athlete, aRugby player of merit, Graham dis-played a most gentlemanly characterexcept on a few occasions. He has

■followed most occupations, includingthose of farmer, sawmill worker, rab-biter, deer-stalker, shearer, and bar-man.

He was married about 12 years ago.and has two young children. Aboutthat time he took oVer portion of afarm of his parents’ estate, and he hasfarmed it since.

Graham has always shown a markedfondness for a rifle, and his marks-manship was widely recognised. Heis a non-smoker and almost totalabstainer.

AXE USED TO ENTERHOUSE

SEARCHERS’ 'ARRIVALSHORTLY AFTER

(0.R.) HOKITIKA, October 17.Graham could have eluded his pur-

suers by,only about an hour and a halfwhen he cut his way with an axe intothe home of George Lindsay, at LakeArthur, at dawn to-day. Searchers whoarrived there at 7 a.m. found evidencethat he had been there not long be-fore them.

To gain entry to the house Grahamapparently obtained an axe from anearby wood heap. This was foundby the searchers lying against the sideof the door. There were marks ofmiss-hits with the axe at the side ofthe door, and it was evident that en-trance had been gained in the end byprising open the door.

It appears that Graham must havesat down in a chair in the kitchen, foralthough the chair was dry. there_ weredamp footprints on the floor beside it.

The food missing from the house in-cludes two dozen eggs, a few biscuits(some of which he apparently atehastily, as there were crumbs on. thefloor )& an apple, and about a quarterof a pound of tea

Lindsay was absent from his homebecause the mill nearby has beenclosed since the first shootings at Koi-terangi.

COURAGEOUS ACTIONOF MR RIDLEY

EDUCATION BOARD’SAPPRECIATION

A resolution expressing admirationat the courage of Mr G. S. Ridley ingoing to the assistance of the police atKoiterangi, and hoping that he wouldsoon be restored to health and'strength,was passed by the Canterbury Educa-tion Board yesterday.

In moving the resolution, Mr G. W.Armitage, chairman of the board, saida cruel attempt had been made to slayMr Ridley when he was going to theassistance of the police. ‘‘Mr Ridleyhas a courage that knows no fear anda high sense of duty and members ofthe board know that he would actunflinchingly in such circumstances,"said Mr Armitage.

Mr R. Wild said Mr Ridley’s' re-markable health and strong constitu-tion gave him a chance of surviving,with the help of skilful medical at-tention, a wound that would be fatalto most.

The board’s good wishes, it was de-cided, should be telegraphed to MrRidley in the Westland Hospital.

NEW ROUTE FORBUSES

GYRATORY SCHEME TOBE FOLLOWED

EXTRA STOP AT POSTOFFICE

The full gyratory route prescribedfor ordinary traffic through Cathedralsquare will be followed by TramwayBoard buses in the next attempt toreconcile the wishes of the beard andthe Christchurch City Council. Anextra stopping place, for the settingdown of passengers only, will be pro-vided in front of the Post Office onthe eastern side, and the loading stopwill be at the Beresford corner.

Formal approval of the trial has yetto be given by the council, which willreceive a report from the traffic com-mittee at its meeting on Monday, andthe Tramway Board has yet to ap-prove of the Post Office stopping placeinstead of a stop suggested by theboard at the United Service Hotel.

This will be the fourth route throughthe Square used by the Linwood andDallington buses. When the gyratoryscheme was first introduced the buseswere allowed to take a short cut,against the flow of traffic, from theBank of New Zealand corner to Wor-cester street east. Later, to avoid theright-hand turn, they were given acourse round the Godley plot, butagain involving the same section ofroute against the flow of traffic. Earlythis month an experiment under whichbuses followed the trams through thecentre of the Square before turningright at the Beresford corner was tried.It was condemned as dangerous afterless than a day’s trial.

The chairman of the traffic commit-tee of the City Council (Cr.M. Kershaw) said yesterdaythat a letter had been receivedfrom the Tramway Board practicallyagreeing to an arrangement made bythe Mayor (Mr E. H. Andrews) andthe board chairman (Mr W. S. Mac-Gibbon) when the experiment bywhich the tramway buses followed anew route was stopped. The boardhad asked for a stop to set down pas-sengers somewhere near the UnitedService Hotel, and a loading stop atthe Beresford corner.

Cr. Kershaw added that the Tram-way Board had passed a resolution infavour of another conference, but inits final letter it had decided to fallin with the suggestion of the commit-tee. On Thursday the committee wentover to Cathedral square to select asuitable place, and decided to recom-mend the stop in front of the PostOffice. A bicycle stand there wouldbetaken away, and «the channel coveredin. Buses would stop there to dis-charge passengers, and then enter thestream of traffic round the Square tothe Beresford corner.

The traffic committee also decidedto have a light chain placed along thefootpath in front of the Cathedral toprevent people from dodging acrossthe Square to the tramway zone. Thechain will be similar to that at theBank of New Zealand corner, andopenings will be left for authorisedcrossings. . ,

Cr. Kershaw said the suggestion hadbeen made originally by the Automo-bile Association. The chain at theBank of New Zealand corner hadproved wonderfully effective in keep-ing people from rushing across theroad.

STATEMENT BYDR. MCMILLAN

�INTENTION TO RETAIN

SEAT

(P.A.) DUNEDIN, October 17.The statement that he intended to

retain his seat, was made to-night byDr. D. G. McMillan, member for Dune-din West, who some time ago express-ed his intention of retiring from poli-tics at the expiry of the present termof Parliament.

He said that the extension of the lifeof Parliament would not result in hisimmediate resignation, as he felt thatto create deliberately discord by a by-election at this critical time, whenthere was the greatest need for na-tional and community unity, would bea disservice to the country.

‘‘ln view of this and continuallychanging conditions I do not intendto resign my seat forthwith," Dr. Mc-Millan added. “My future course ofaction will be guided by what is prac-ticable and what I think to be in thebest interests of the country.” Hesaid that other members had also ex-pressed their intention of resigning,including Sir Alfred Ransom, the Rt.Hon, G.

WONDERFUL NEWMEDICINE

CERTAIN CURE CLAIMEDFOR RHEUMATISM

In view of the wonderful successthat has been achieved by McCor-mack’s Rheumatic Cure, and the factthat in every known instance whereit has been tried, it has never failed,it might be said that those people whocontinue to suffer from Rheumatismwithout trying this remedy, have onlythemselves to blame.

Not only has this cure succeeded incases that at first appeared to beabsolutely hopeless, but, too, once therheumatism is driven from the system(this takes from one to two months asa rule), it does not return. This isborne out by people who were chronicsufferers four or five years ago, butafter taking McCormack’s RheumaticCure have not had the slightest signof any return of their complaint.

Mr McCormack realises that suchclaims have often been made on behalfof other remedies, but to overcomethis and to prove the genuineness ofhis cure, he invites people to writeto him for a list of the names andaddresses of some of the local peoplewho have been cured and who haveoffered to advise anyone suffering fromRheumatism, about the success of hiscure.

Take this letter, for example:—View Hill, Oxford,

To Mr McCormack.—I am very much indebted to you for

your wonderful cure, as I have beena great sufferer for a long time. Infact, I could not sleef) with the painsin my left arm. Rut since I took yourcure—and I had only one jar—l foundthat I could go to bed and the painhas never returned and I was, and stillam, able to have a good night’s sleep.Yours, etc.—S.Y.

Write to Mr McCormack, G.P.O. Box462, Christchurch, for these addresses:or if you want to take the cure rightaway, enclose £1 for one month’streatment.

Most cases yield to one month’streatment, but even the most difficultcases will yield after two months. —6

The track pro-mises to be firm, and the win and placesystem will be in use.

The principal event, the TeschemakerHandicap, has attracted a good class field,headed by Iceland Spar, one of the earlyfavourites for the New Zealand Cup.He had two races at Wingatui, and shouldnov be at his best. His strongest oppon-ent may be Islay Downs, who beat NightPal and Strip in a mile race on the firstday at Wingatui, and was not produced onthe second day. Don’t Forget will nodoubt again act as pacemaker, but thedistance may once more trouble him. Air-line is also liable to dispute leadership.He was not sent to Wingatui as he wassuffering from a cold. Prudent Prince hasto be taken on trust on a firm track, andthe ground may be too hard for pic*tate. The Wrecker nearly surprised mthe Geraldine Cup, but failed badly onthe second day.

TURF GOSSIPCaulfield Cup

The Caulfield Cup will be decided atFlemington to-day. There were 25 ac-ceptors, including the New' Zealanders,Beau Vite, High Caste, and Palencia.High Caste has drawn No. 2 at thebarrier, but Beau Vite has drawn 21,and a cablegram yesterday suggestedthat with his weight and unfavourablebarrier position, Beau Vite was set thehardest task of his career. The cablealso stated that High Caste was likelyto be reserved for the Cantala Stakes,

•also to be run to-day.High Priced Gelding

The four-year-old Kinsman is tomake a reappearance at Washdyke to-day after an absence of nearly twoyears. He was raced three times as atwo-year-old, but owing to growing,was put aside until a few months back.By Beau Pere from Amante, the ChiefRuler mare, half-sister to Amigo, Kins-man was purchased at Trentham for875 guineas by Mr H. D. Greenwood.He can lay claim to being one of thebiggest horses in training, but appearsquite sound in every way, and his fu-ture exploits will be followed with in-terest. Kinsman is trained by F.Roberts, who will also saddle up Pen-nywhistle in the same race, the SpringStakes. This is a three-year-old fillyby Myosotis from Pennywise, a half-sister to Not Out, and she will racein the colours of the estate of MrGeorge Gould.First Race

Court Dress will represent theChokebore stable in the Spring Stakesat Washdyke to-day. He is a three-year-old gelding by Nightmarch fromBall Dress, dam of Night Dress, andthis will be his first public appearance.Trentham Candidates

Hearth and Boswell, acceptors forthe Flying Handicap at Washdyke to-day are both trained by D. P. Wilson,of Mosgiel. but will not be bracketed.They are booked to be shipped to Wel-lington on Monday, and their racingto-day will be closely followed in viewof their Trentham engagements. Bo-loyna. who is also engaged at Tren-tham. will contest the same. race. Thiswill be his first race since he wasunplaced on the Second day of theGeraldine meeting.In The News Again

A Press Association telegram fromAuckland states that Kindergarten wasyesterday entered for the two weight-for-age races, +he King’s Plate andClifford Plate, at the Auckland Rac-ing Club’s summer meeting commenc-ing on Boxing Day. Evidently Kinder-garten is making a good response tothe treatment of his affected leg atGisborneEnglish Bloodstock.

The bloodstock owned by the lateLord Furness was auctioned in Eng-land last month, 36 lots realising 40,000guineas. One lot was secured for New'Zealand. This was a three-year-oldfilly Haltwistle, by Cameronian , (win-ner of the Derby) from Hallow, byBosworth from Hythe, by Chaucerfrom Miss Gunning, by Carbine fromMemoir. Haltwistle, who is in foal toKhan Bahadur, a brother to the Derbywinner Mahmoud, was bought on ac-count of Mr J. C. Fletcher, of theAlton Lodge Stud, Te Kauwhata..Seized by Germans.

A recent issue ol ‘‘Sporting Life”(London) reveals that the championFrench three-year-old of 1939, Pharis11, was seized by the Germans whenthey occupied France, and the lastheard of him was that he was locatedat an army breeding establishmentsomewhere in Germany. Pharis 11, byPharos, was to have met Blue Peterin the St. Leger in September, 1939,but the war intervened.Racing in France.

The same newspaper states that rac-ing is still conducted in occupiedFrance with three flat meetings eachweek There are about 900 horses in

training at two centres, stakes,are good,enormous crowds attend, and the bet-ting is on a large scale.War Effort, .

When War Effort races—probably inthe Nursery Handicap at Stratford to-day—he will have a special interest forthe public, as he was the horse wonin a patriotic art union. He is reportedto be one of the more forward of thehorses in training at Hawera, wherewet tracks have kept the bulk of thehorses in training rather backward.

TROTTING NOTESA Prospect

Serapeum, the six-year-old JackPotts*-Mustapha stallion in C. S. Don-ald’s stable, has not done a great dealup to the present, but he has put upseveral useful performances. At theSouth Canterbury Jockey Club’s meet-ing to-day Serapeum is on 12 yardsbehind in the Washdyke Handicap,while he is also on the limit of theHadlow Handicap. 3min 39sec class. Hisbest performance was to run second toSpecial Agent in the Wai-iti Handicapat the South Canterbury Jockey Club smeeting in May when, narrowly beaten,he recorded 3min 20 4-ssec for a mileand a half. At the Ashburton CountyRacing Club’s meeting in June _ Sera-peum was beaten by Countless in theLyndhurst Handicap after recording3min 29 4-ssec on a dead track.The Second Payment

When the second payment was madefor the New Zealand Cup the onlytwo defections were Zincali and NellGrattan, and their withdrawal did notcome as - a surprise to followers of thesport. While Nell Grattan has alwaysraced consistently she has never im-pressed as one with the brilliance towin a race like the Cup. Her last winwas iu the Mason. Stakes Handicap atAddington in January, in which shehad a narrow victory over King Pottsand Nelson Eddy in 4min 21 3-ssec.Zincali was the biggest stake winnerin New Zealand last season, but hefinished up his racing on a 4min 28secassessment. To start in the cup hewould be giving away 24 yards, muchtoo great a concession for even a horseof his proved class to make. On hisbest form he looked a very likely win-ner, for while he is a good stayer hismile and a half in 3min 10 3-sseclshowed that he had the necessary bril-liance. The race is npw confined to17 horses, still plenty big enough a field*even if allowance has to be made fortseveral that are giving away time to. 1be in the race. Although Gold Bar isgiving away 24 yards he is still oneof the favourites, while others thathave been supported include Fine Art,Nelson Eddy, and Dusky Sound.A Possibility"At New Brighton on Saturday

Haughty was decisively beaten over amile and a quarter by Acuity in 2min44sec, but she will have a chance toretrieve her good reputation in tjheDash Handicap at Oamaru, in whichshe will give away 36 yards in a 2nrm51sec class. The *6610 is small andthere appears to be nothing of the sameclass that Haughty met in her lastengagement.An Improving Pacer

In the Methven Cup Acuity conceded24 yards to Happy Man and was heartenby the narrowest margin, while, atNew Brighton on Saturday she wonthe Victory Handicap from a gioodfield. .Acuity’s second in the MethvenCup was gained from a 4min 34secmark, and neither her good second norher win at New Brighton has alteredher assessment over two miles. HappyMan, however, has gone back 36 yards.Under the altered conditions Aruityshould finish in front of Happy Manat Oamaru.Death of Sportsman

The death occurred last week of MrA. Piper, well known in trotting andracing circles 20 years ago. Born inBathurst, New South Wales, he madehis first irip to New Zealand in 1898with his uncle, Mr Claude Piper, whohad in his care the champion trotterFritz, owned by Mr J. A. Buckland,and who five years later made a sec-ond visit to meet ■ the crack pacer,Ribbonwood, at Addington. For manyyears Mr Piper was employed by hisuncle, and besides being associatedwith such good trotters as Fritz. Franz,Verox, The Heir, St. Simon, Cinders,Vibella and Daybreak, he also rode anumber of winners in the gallopingsport, including Volodia and MasterAlix. Mr Piper in later years was incharge of Mr J. B. Reid's stud atWindsor Park and J. F. Reid’s studat Burnside, where many of New Zea-land’s most notable performers werebred. Mr Piper is survived by hiswife, four sons, and one daughter.

CITY EMERGENCYSCHEME

DISSATISFACTIONEXPRESSED

HEATHCOTE COUNCILLORS’DISCUSSION

Some dissatisfaction with the emerg-ency precautions organisation in thecity was expressed by members at themeeting of the Heathcote County Coun-cil last evening. The chairman (MrA. G. Williams) claimed that in viewof the commitments expected of thecouncil, it ought to have some greatersay in the control of the organisation.

In reply to representations made bythe county council, a letter was re-ceived from the Christchurch CityCouncil stating that the cost of theemergency fire service was calculatedseparately and was not included in theestimated expenditure towards whichlocal bodies were asked to contribute.The letter gave the names of theexecutive of the controlling organisa-tion.

“I was elected by this council as amember of the organisation and so farhave had no request to attend a meet-ing,” Mr Williams said.

It was explained to the council thatin apportioning tWfe costs to localbodies, those doing so had not in-cluded amounts spent in preliminaryexpenses. But the council had spentnothing so far under that category.

Mr Williams: We should ask themwhat these contributions cover. Wedo not want to have overlapping.

Mr F. W. Freeman; It is getting a bitinvolved.

The chairman: If we make a sub-stantial grant we should have somesay.

It was stated that the amount ex-pected of the council was £360 19s.

Dr. H. C. Holland said that he hadhad some experience of the organisa-:tion. With a number of other menengaged in certain occupations, he hadbeen asked to join. They had beenlater notified that their enrolmentshad been received. But recently theyhad been told that their occupationsdid not bring them under the scheme.

“If that is the way they do theirbusiness, should we as a council spendso much of the ratepayers’ money onsuch an organisation?” Dr. Hollandasked.

“What are they going to do withyou now?” Dr. Holland was asked.

“Make us some sort of honorarypolicemen,” he replied. “I have hadsome experience of this thing in Eng-land and I resent this kind of treat-ment from honorary organisers.”

It was suggested .that further actionbe held over, and that was agreed on.

"We do not want to pour cold wateron the scheme, but we have to watchthis sort of thing." Mr Freeman said.

Mr Williams: Yes, but we need toact in the interests of our ratepayers.

SOCIAL SECURITYACT

ANGLICAN CLERGYRESOLUTIONS

MEANS OF IMPROVINGBENEFITS

The principles and application of theSocial Security Act, 1938, were dis-cussed by the Christchurch DiocesanSynod at its sitting yesterday after-noon. Resolutions proposing improve-ments in benefits were adopted.

On the motion of Canon S. Parr itwasresolved: “That this Synod, whilstrecording its general approval of theprinciples underlying the SocialSecurity Act, 1938, suggests to the Gov-ernment the advisability of making amore adequate provision in the caseof family benefits and benefits inrespect of unemployment, sickness andaccident.”

A further motion of Canon Parr was;‘‘That this Synod, considering thatunder the Social Security Act, 1938, in-sufficient provision is provided for poorpatients requiring treatment at insti-tutions such as Queen Mary Hospital,Hanmer, urge the Government to in-crease the benefits under this head incases where such patients are unableto pay the extra fees required.”

The Rev. F. N. Taylor said that whenthe social security allowance had beenprovided for, the patient had still tofind 28s a week for the cheapest ac-commodation. That seemed to compareunfavourably with the treatment givento other types of patients. If a manbroke a leg his whole hospital bill wasmet by the State, but if his nerve wasbroken he had to pay. Why shouldthere be discrimination between bodilyand mental illness? That should bebrought to the notice of the Govern-ment.

The resolution was adopted with nodissentients.

Discussing the Archbishop of York’sconference, held at Malvern in Janu-ary, the general welfare committeestated that the report of the conferencerecorded a number of, propositions onwhich those present were “generallyagreed,” and one which was put tothe vote and carried “without any hos-tile vote, though some abstained fromvoting.” This last resolution suggestedthat the private ownership of theprincipal industrial resources of thecommunity might be one of thosefeatures of existing society whichwere contrary to divine justice andwhich acted as stumbling blocksmaking it harder for men to liveChristian lives. “The time has come.”the resolution declared, “for Christiansto proclaim the need for striving to-wards a form of society in which . . .

the continuance of these abuses willbe no longer possible.”

A resolution by Canon Parr, that allchurch, people be urged to give carefuland sympathetic consideration to thereport of the Malvern conference, wasadopted.

TIME FOR STUDYOF BILLS

LEGISLATIVE COUNCILCOMMENTS

(P.R.) WELLINGTON, October 17.Further comment on clause 40 of

the Statutes Amendment Bill, whichprovides for the appointment ofwomen to the Legislative Council andon which the Speaker of the Council(the Hon. Mark Fagan) was asked togive a ruling this morning was made inthe second reading debate on the billin the Council this afternoon.

The Hon. W. Perry suggested thatthe clause infringed the privileges ofthe Council oecause it was introducedin the House, but the Hon. T. Blood-worth declared that it was futile totalk of the dignity or privileges of theCouncil when it was treated with solittle respect that it was asked to passa measure that it did not have time tostudy. What respect or regard waspaid to the dignity and privileges ofthe Council, he asked, when almost inthe last hour of the session it wasasked to consider a measure of 77clauses making amendments to 40 dif-ferent acts. No one, as a democrat,he said, could oppose a proposal toallow women tc sit as members, butsuch a proposal affecting bodies sup-posed to have some dignity could havebeen brought in in a separate measureinstead of being sandwiched in be-tween clauses dealing with the rabbitnuisance and rating.

In the old days there was a realreason for a revisionary chamber, hesaid. But circumstances had changed.Members knew that matters that camebefore them allegedly for considera-tion had been decided before theyreached the Council. Certain mem-bers attended meetings at which cer-tain decisions were made by whichthey were pledged in honour to abide,and consequently there was no longerany need for the Council.

The Hon. W. Grounds and the Hon.W. Perry supported these remarksabout the lateness of the appearanceof the bill.

, „The Leader of the Council (the Hon,

D. Wilson) expressed surprise at theviews, and stated that had he knownmembers wanted longer to considerthe bill he would have arranged forit.

The bill finally passed all stages.The Rehabilitation Bill and Finance

Bill were also put through from com-mittee stages, and passed. .

AN ESTATE OF£120,000

TRUSTEES APPLY TOCOURT

DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM

The manner of distribution of theremaining shares of an estate amount-ing originally to £120,000 was in ques-tion in a case heard by his Honour MrJustice Blair at ' the Supreme Courtyesterday. The estate was of HenryDent Gardiner, who died in 1909, leav-ing it, after certain provision for an-nuities and for the maintenance of thewidow, to his 10 children—four sonsand six daughters—in nearly equal

In terms of the will, the sons werepaid out in cash in 1910. The balancewas invested as one fund for the sixdaughters, each of whom received‘herproportionate share of the income.Two daughters died, one in 1913 andanother in 1932, and in terms of thewill their share of the capital was paidout from the fund to their children.Another daughter (Mrs Marion Chis-hall) died in 1939, and a fourth (MrsRosa Gardiner), in 1941 (actually afterthe present proceedings were started).Fearing that there might be insuffici-ent margin in the remaining assets in

the fund to pay all four shares intheir full nominal value, the trusteeshad paid Mrs Chisnall’s children onlypart of that sum, and asked for guid-ance about future procedure.

Mr D. E. Wanklyn appeared for theplaintiff trustees, Arthur HaywardGardiner and Linton Charrington Gar-diner. Among the defendants. Mr L,J. Hensley appeared for F. R. H. Gar-diner, of Purau, only surviving son oftestator: Mr T. A. Gresson, for RosaAdela, Gardiner, representing the lifetenants under the will; Mr W. R. Las-celles for Y. G. Jackson, representingthe children of two daughters of testa-tor, who have been paid out under thewill; Mr V. Russell for Stedman Con-way Chisnall and six other children ofMrs Marion Chisnall; and Mr A. W.Brown for Norris Gardiner, represent-ing children of still living life tenantschildren of Mrs Rosa Gardiner andMrs Ellen Washbourn.

Many PartiesThe full list of defendants is as fol-

lows:—Testator’s only surviving son,

Francis Hugh Hicks Gardiner, of Pu-rau; the surviving' executors andtrustees of three deceased sons, LintonCharrington Gardiner, Herbert Gardi-ner, and Harold Gardiner; the childrenof Henrietta Jackson (died 19U) “

ChThe

eJuestions to be determined werewhether the share of Mrs Page on herdeath was to be divided cquaUy amoiuall the children of the testator, or couldbe held and applied to make up anydeficiency in the shares; the mannerin which the trustees were to dis-tribute the remaining settled sharesand whether the Court approved of thedistribution of the set jle£Henrietta Jackson and Kate LauraJackson.

Money Still AvailableMr Wanklyn said Mrs Chisnall’s

children had been paid only £IOOOeach, with a balance owing. On thedeath of Mrs Page, now aged 73, hershare fell into the residue and be-came divisible. A balance of £3009was owing of Mrs Chisnall sshaic. Theshares remaining of the other daugh-ters were:—Mrs Washbourn. £12,102,Mrs Gardiner. £10.221; Mrs Page,£13,588. To meet this the assets were.-Mortgages £30,789, Government se-curities £2869, cash in bank £6163. Itwas a question whether there wasenough margin. .

His Honour: The mortgages are thedoubtful factor. , , . ..

Mr Hensley contended that when thesons were paid their shares, and thefund was set up of the combined sharesof the daughters, the sons ceased to beconcerned in the fate of that fund,except that, if one of the daughtersdied without children, each of the sonswould be entitled to one-ninth of thedaughters' fund. If the daughters fundincreased in value, only they wouldbenefit; if it decreased, only theywould suffer, and no refund could beclaimed from the sons. Mrs Pagesshare in the daughters fund could notbe regarded as a convenient windfallto be used to stop up deficiencieswhich might arise in the fund.

Mr Gresson said the trustees were,induty bound to treat the three remain-ing groups of children equally, and,

if necessary, to set up a reserve so thatthis could be done. They must notpay out the full nominal value of theChisnall children’s share if that -wasgoing to leave the Gardiner and Wash-bourn children short. He contendedthat Mrs Page’s share, in the event, ofher death, should be divided into nineequal amounts. ,

Mr Lascelles claimed that the child-ren of Mrs Kate Jackson and Mrs Hen-rietta Jackson, having been paid outat the time of their mothers death,were in the same position as the sons,and were under no obligation to re-fund.’ On the death of Mrs Page hershare would fall into residue andwould go to the other legatees equally.There had been no over-payment tohis clients, and there could be no ques-tion of anv refund by them.

Mr Russell said his clients, the Chis-nall children, were entitled to go tothe trustees now and ask for the pay-ment ,of the balance of their share.They were entitled to be treated in thesame way as the two Jackson familiesand to be paid out. He suggested thatif need be. resort could be had to MrsPage’s share to make equality amongthe remainder, and this before the sonsreceived their one-ninth share.

Mr Brown, for the children of stillliving life tenants, said that with boththe Gardiner children and the Chisnallchildren claiming to be paid their fullshares now, the question was what thetrustees should do to ensure that MrsWashbourn’s family should get anequal distribution of the balance nowin hand. He suggested an equalitycould be produced by paying to theChisnall and Gardiner children thegreater portion of their share, leavingsome portion in hand in case therewere a deficiency in assets, and then,when Mrs Page died, the remainingassets to be realised and divided to en-sure an equal distribution in the fourgroups.

Decision was reserved.

SHEARING THISSEASON

NEED FOR ORGANISATIONFORESEEN

(P.R.) WELLINGTON, October 17.As the usual number of shearers

will not be available this season, theMinister for Agriculture (the Hon. J. G.Barclay) states that there is a possi-bility of shearing operations not beingcompleted as early as usual. While notanticipating undue difficulty if theweather is normal he strongly recom-mended sheep farmers to assist them-selves and the country by shearingtheir dry sheep as early as they rea-sonably can before the main shearingbegins:

He urged farmers to co-operate witheach other so that all sheds in a dis-trict could be filled with sheep whichwould be dry, and ready for shearing.Primary production committees,

branches of the Farmers’ Union andother suitable organisations could, inconjunction with the New ZealandWorkers’ Union, arrange rosters ofsheds to make the most effective useof shearers.

WORK AMONG TROOPS�—

REPORT OF TERRITORIALASSOCIATION

“The association has fully justifiedits existence and officers commandingterritorial units now look to the as-sociation for its co-operation and as-sistance in their constant requirementsfor comforts, etc., for the troops,” saysthe annual report of the TerritorialAssociation of Canterbury.

"At the commencement of the yearsome question was raised as to whe-ther the association would have suffi-cient work to carry on. with, as" thenew system of ballot had been intro-duced and assistance was no longerrequired in recruiting. A sub-commit-tee conferred with the military head-quarters, and it was advised that asmany new units were being created,and most existing units were being in-creased in strength, the associationwould probably find ample work to do.This forecast has been correct, and theexecutive has indeed found the lastyear an extremely busy one.”

The report reviews extensive activi-ties in the interests of the troops.
