The Woolston Kindergarten, itwas reported, had been visited by Dr.Helen Field, and by a nurse from thedental clinics, end the local committeehad continued to buy apples for thechildren to take the place of milk,which was greatly missed. The NorthBeach club had celebrated its firstbirthday, and Redcliffs its third birth-day, with parties, attended by manyvisitors; the attendance and health orthe children at the Beckenham Schoolhad been good, and at the NuffieldKindergarten at New Brighton, manymothers and friends had oeen enter-tained in honour of its sixth birth-day.

,,

SLIP ON MIDLANDLINE CLEAREDFrom Our Own Reporter

GREYMOUTH, August 22.The slip on the Midland line be-

tween Craigieburn and Avoca yester-day morning was cleared early thismorning and goods trains to and fromChristchurch were able to completetheir journeys. This morning’s rail-car from Christchurch was firstthrough the breach. Last night’s rail-car to Christchurch to transfer itspassengers. The rail-car from Christ-church this morning was nearly anhour late at Greymouth.

Another phase of the hold-up wasthe huge volume of goods which hadaccumulated on both sides of the slip,and special trains were run to-day toease tne position. About 3500 tons offreight, principally coal, was accumu-lated at Arthur’s Pass.

Some difficulty was experienced inrestoring the derailed engine to therunning track for removal to Christ-church, as it finished up on a slantin a depression on a side railwaytrack.

ADDINGTONMARKET

RECORD PRICES FOEFAT SHEEP

WETHERS REACH 79/7;CATTLE £35/12/6

Yesterday’s fat stock sale at Ad-dington was a notable one, the highestfat sheep prices for many years be-ing recorded. Fat cattle also madeprices comparable with the “boom”period after the last war, Entries,particularly of fat sheep, have beenconsiderably smaller than trade re-quirements for some weeks, and yester-day an acute position arrived, caus-ing something like a scramble for thelimited supplies available. Fewwethers of class failed to meet the60s mark, “tops” making from 70sto within a few pence of 80s In onecase. It was the dearest muttonmarket for very many years. Cattlealso jumped In value, recording an-other £2 rise on top of close on £3last week, a considerable Quantity ofbeef making more than 60s per 1001b.Best cattle made from £3O to £35.There was a revival in the demandfor store sheep, and fat pigs were alsodearer.

STORE SHEEPThe entry of store sheep was again

limited, only 1496 being forward, Includ-ing 732 hoggets, 576 ewes, 145 ewes andlambs, and 44 wethers. With the

#

pros-pect of a flush ot growth, there was akeen demand for all classes, and pricesshowed a substantial increase on recentvalues. The best wether hoggets madefrom 22s to 25s 9d, and a pen, shorn aslambs, sold for 20s. The only pen ofewe hoggets offered made 20s. A pen ot44 four-tooth and six-tooth wethers made26s 6d, and others sold from 20s 6d to225. A draft of 127 Romney ewes Inlamb to Southdown rams made from 29sto 325, and 48 sound-mouth ewes In lambto Southdcwns sold for 32s 6d. A pen of78 two-tooth ewes in lamb to BorderLeicester rams sold for 29s 6d, and a penof merino ewes in lamb to English Lei-cester rams realised 10s. The first ofthe season's ewes with lambs at foot at-tracted keen bidding, 72 full mouth eweswith 73 lambs selling at 15s lOd allcounted.

FAT HOGGETSThe entry of fat hoggets fell from 651

to 492, and again was of mixed qualityThere was a strong all-round demand,with prices well up to schedule rates. Adraft of 69 from S. Connolly (Temuka)realised from 37s 7d to 48s 4d. There wasan increased number of end-of-the-seasonsheep, which sold readily at late values.Values were:—extra prime hoggets, 43sto 48s 4d; prime hoggets, 37s 7d to 40s Id;,medium-weight hoggets, 26s 7d to 30s Id:light and unfinished, 20s to 235.

There were eight spring lambs forward.Four sent in by R, Croft (Amberley) soldfrom 37s Id to 54s Id; and four fromWilson Bros. (Halkett) made from 40s Idto 48s Id.

FAT SHEEPThere was a further drop in the yarding

of fat sheep, barely 2000 being pennedagainst 3000 last week. The number In-cluded several pens of prime wethers,which, however, were hardly up to thequality at recent sales, but with a wide-spread demand from the very outset,amounting at times to a scramble for sup-plies, prices reached probably the highestlevel ever recorded at an Addington saleoutside the spectacular show sales ofsome years back. The highest price. 79s7d, secured for wethers, 58s Id for two-tootn ewes and 54s Id for aged ewes,substantially exceeded the best obtainedat the usual Addington market for a longwhile, and prices for all other gradessoared to record levels. Because of theshort market last week, many butchershad little or no stock in reserve, and Inconsequence competed against one an-other evidently regardless of price, whilemany requiring the best class sheepwere not able to fulfil their require-ments. There was an easing tendencyfor the lower grade ewes towards theclosing stages, but otherwise the ab-normal market was maintained to theend. Most of the best sales of wethersexceeded the 60s mark, with, very fewbelow 50s. and there were several salesof aged ewes at more than 50s. Someof the leading sales of wethers were;—On account South Canterbury vendor,seven at 79s 7d; Mrs Stewart (Domett),six from 70s to 79s Id; C. Lindsay (South-land), 92 from 59s 7d to 79s Id; L.

FAT CATTLEYesterday’s fat cattle prices werb. the

highest of the year, possibly the onlymarket in the last decade or more to ex-ceed them being one two years ago. Thesmall entry of 284 head last week createdan acute shortage for the trade, whichyesterday's penning of 437 head did littleto relieve. On the average, values forgood beef were up another 40s a headon the advance of £3 recorded last weekThe improvement commenced with theopening of the sale, and was maintainedthroughout. The high prices were notconfined to the primes! beef, as cows ofsecondary class made practically a pro-portionate advance. Considering the stageof the season and the rough winter, qual-ity was well maintained, truck lots fromoutside districts helping in this respect.A number of the top pens of steers aver-aged £3O and more, numerous singleheifers from £22 upwards, and more cowssold at from £l4 to £l6 than for a verylong time, with tops to £2O in cases Bestbeef made from 62s to 66s per 1001b, good58s to 61s, medium 54s to 575; good cowsto 475, and secondary to 42s 6d.

NEW ZEALANDNAVY

WORK IN PACIFICPRAISED

MESSAGE FROM U.S.ADMIRAL

(P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 22.Ships and men of the final group of

Royal New Zealand naval vessels re-cently detached from the Americanoperational command in the southPacific have received the sailors’ cov-eted award of a hearty “well done”from Vice-Admiral W. L. Calhoun,commander of the area.

In a message to the New ZealandNaval Board and to the commandingofficers of the 15 ships concerned, Vice-Admiral Calhoun expressed his sin-cere appreciation of the splendid ser-vice given by all hands during theirmonths of duty in co-operation withthe American naval forces under hiscommand.

,

In reply, the New Zealand NavalBoard has assured Vice-Admiral Cal-houn that the men of the New Zea-land Navy were proud to have foughtunder his operational command.

The ships congratulated were thecorvette Arabis, the minesweepers Tuiand Kiwi, and 12 Fairmile subchasers.The minesweepers Matai, Gale, Breeze,and Viti were previously detached andreturned to the control of the NewZealand Navy after distinguished ser-vice with the American forces.

RENTAL CHARGED FORFURNISHED FLATDECISION RESERVED IN

TEST CASE -

Whether the owners of a flat let un-furnished for 35s a week in September,1942, and subsequently let furnished at£3 Ss a week had committed a breachof the Economic Stabilisation EmergencyRegulations. 1942, as charged, was de-bated in the Magistrate’s Court yester-day. It was the first such prosecutionIn Christchurch. Mr G. G. Chisholm. S.M..reserving his decision.

The defendants (Mr R. A. Young) wereMabelle Talgel and George Henry Talgel.the charge against each being that onaccount of the rent of a dwelling houseat 284 Cashel street money not recover-able by virtue of the Fair Rents Act hadbeen accepted, this being a breach of tneEconomic Stabilisation Emergency Regu-lations.

Mr C. P. Collins, senior inspector ofthe Labour Department, claimed that therent charged -in September, 1942, fixedthe basic rent.

„ „

There had to date been two NorthIsland decisions, one by Mr H. P. Lawry,S.M., and one by Mr W. H. Woodward,S.M. The department had been obligedto adopt the .former decisibn as authorita-tive. as being in the department’s opinionin conformity with the purpose of thelegislation as It avoided rendering theact inoperative.

Mr Young said that the two decisionstb date were opposing ones. He sub-mitted that Mr Woodward’s decision ap-plied: that the basic rent fixed for a fur-nished flat was based on- rent chargedfor it as such, and not unfurnished. Inthe present case—a sort of test case-before the regulations came into force,the defendants decided to furnish theflat, the total put into it being morethan £166. They had then decided that£3 5s would be a reasonable rental, andIt was let at that from October, 1942.till June this year, when some adjust-ments were made after discussion withthe Labour Department' on what wasconsidered to be a fair rent. The ques-tion was whether this flat furnished wasthh same dwellinghouse as it was un-furnished. On the authority of Mr Wood-ward's decision, he submitted that itsbasic rental as a furnished dwelling-house was £3 5s a week.

The PressTHURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1945.

The Revised BudgetAlthough the financial debate hadbeen deferred because the end ofthe war in the Far East radicallychanged the situation to which theBudget was addressed, the Ministerof Finance declined the opportunityto revise his proposals. The supple-ment to the Financial Statementshowed only some tentative altera-tions in one of the accounts, theWar Expenses Account, and in oneside only of that. An expendi-ture which he had estimated at£ 105,400,000 was re-estimated at£ 121,250,000 for correspondingitems, with the addition of£18,000,000 for gratuities. But therevenue side of the account standsunaltered. It can only be said thatthe Minister chose to spare himselfthe trouble of doing a difficult taskthoroughly. On the face of it hissupplement meant that expenditurewithin this financial year might be£23,000,000 greater than he hadsupposed: but no suggestion ap-peared of any step to meet thisdemand should it arise. Clearly,- MrNash did not expect it to arise. “It“is difficult to estimate how much“of the £121,249,000 will come to“charge during this financial year ”,he said, “but any amount not ex-“ pended by March 31 next Will be“ required early next financial“ year ’’—and even that predictionis as precarious as the sum ofa number of precarious items.Whether it was useful to presentthis dubious new version of oneside of one account is a matter ofopinion; but Mr Nash’s was deter-mined by his anxiety to insist thatthere was “no scope for adjust-“ment of taxation this financial

year ”. The same purpose couldas well have been served by asimple statement that in the presentuncertainty no estimates of anykind could be safely revised, butthat a supplementary Budget wouldbe introduced as soon as develop-ments made it practicable and de-sirable. This procedure wouldthoroughly open to review the stillcryptic accounts and would allowfor adjustments in other directionsthan in the War Expenses Account.For it can be safely assumed thatother estimates than those for warreceipts and expenditure will besharply affected by the end of thewar, the breaking off of war pro-duction, and die transfer of warworkers to new employment or totheir homes. Mr Nash may be givencredit for one sound intention indesiring to accelerate the dischargeof all possible war costs. The pro-cedure suggested would have en-abled him to prepare himself andthe House for a systematic attackpn the problem. Moreover, nothingwould have been lost by declaringat the same, time in what prioritytax reductions consistent with theaim would be introduced.

Britain’s Foreign Policy—

The first important speech .made bythe British Foreign Secretary (MrErnest Bevin) since he took overhis new office has made' it plain thatin general the lines of future Britishforeign will differ little,apart from emphasis on particularpoints, from the policy enunciatedby his predecessor in office (MrAnthony Eden). Any other coursewas not to be expected since agree-ment upon foreign policy was essen-tial to the continuance of the Coali-tion Government, of which MrBevin and his Labour colleagueswere members. Nevertheless, MrBevin has made an impressive be-ginning. What the “Manchester“Guardian” has called the "broad“sweep” of his speech clearly indi-cates that he intends to pursue abold, firm, and honest course, withprobably less tendency to makeconcessions and defer to theopinions and desires of the otherpartners in the Great Powerstriumvirate who have been the“main artificers of victory ”. MrBevin has firmly placed onrecord his Government’s dis-approval of forms of governmentin certain Balkan countries, regis-tering his opinion that " one kind of“totalitarianism is being replaced“by another”. It is clear that theforeign policy of Britain will seekto reach an understanding withother countries on acceptable formsof democracy. What Soviet Russia,for example, regards as demo-cracy is not democracy as it isunderstood in Great Britain and theUnited States. . As Mr Bevin said,the word “ appears to need defini-“ tion ”. This need becomes plaineras the problems of rehabilitatingliberated and former enemy coun-tries' are further explored. TheWorld Charter insists that its ad-herents should observe the prin-ciples of democracy, but unfortu-nately no attempt was made at SanFrancisco to seek an acceptable for-mula that would define the wordand explain the principle in opera-tion. Until such a formula is foundand its implications are clearlyunderstood and its principles prac-tised by all nations dangers arisingfrom misunderstandings will lieahead. Perhaps Mr Bevin may leadthe way tg clear agreement on thisfundamentally important issue. Inhis references to British leadershipin the post-war world Mr Bevinunequivocally emphasises that tljieultimate guarantees of successfulworld reconstruction and the main-tenance of peace are social andeconomic; and he is wise to make itplain to liberated countries thatthough they are at present to behelped, their eventual rehabilitationmust spring from their internaleffort. Wisely again, he refrainedfrom indicating too early Britain’sattitude to questions that musteventually be decided by the peaceconference. Too much mischief mayalready have been done by precipi-tate commitments which will cometo the peace table as faits accom-plis. This is not to say that MrBevin will or should refrain fromplain exposition 'of policy whenthe appropriate time arrives. Theoutstanding note of his speech is itsclarity and frankness, betokening aclean break with methods ofdiplomacy that are outmoded anddiscredited.

General NewsOrphanages’ Appeal

Tarawa MassacreAll the evidence on the massacre of

17 New Zealanders on Tarawa that theNew Zealand Government has beenable to obtain has already been sub-mitted. This information was givenby the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon.P. Fraser) in an interview yesterday.He said the Government held the viewthat war criminals should be sortedout and punished. Questioned aboutthe future of Japanese prisoners ofwar in New Zealand, the Prime Minis-ter said this would be discussed im-mediately with the authorities con-cerned. Meanwhile these Japanese inNew Zealand were still prisoners ofwar until the peace treaty had beensigned.- Ultimately they would besent to their homeland. Mr Frasersaid it was fully expected that peacewith Japan would be settled at thegeneral peace conference, at which allthe Powers who fought against Japanwould be represented. There had beenno indication yet whether that wouldbe a separate conference, or whetherit would be held in conjunction withthe settlement of peace with Germany.

The Wheat PriceCanterbury members returned to

the subject of the wheat price in theHouse of Representatives yesterdayafternoon. Notice of a question wasgiven by Mr W. H. Gillespie (Oppo-sition, Hurunui), with whom were as-sociated Messrs R. G. Gerard, J. Ac-land, and D. C, Kidd. “Owing to theserious position that has arisen inCanterbury over autumn sown wheat,and in an attempt to rectify it, willthe Minister of Industries and Com-merce give farmers prepared,to takethe risk of sowing spring wheat a pricethat will giye a return equal to thatfrom peas,! linseed, etc.,” asked MrGillespie. In a note he said there weremany indications that farmers on lightland would be prepared to take v therisk of spring sowing in the nationalinterest if they were assured of a pricecommensurate with that for othercrops.— (F.0.P.R.)

Letters to War PrisonersThe Acting-Postmaster-General (the

Hon. F. Jones) said yesterday that theR.N.Z.A.F. planes which were going toSingapore to begin the repatriation ofprisoners of war and civilian interneesin Japanese hands would be used tocarry mail to such prisoners and in-ternees. Persons desiring to send let-ters should address them as usual.Only light letters would be carried,but the restriction on wordage nolonger applied. No guarantee of de-livery could be made, but every en-deavour would be made to see thatthe letters were delivered.—(P.A.)

Whitebait Catches at WestportSome small catches of whitebait have

been made in the last two days atWestport, in the Duller river and ad-jacent streams following a weekduring which most rivers and streamsin the district were flooded. Thecatches were sold at 6s a pint. Withmilder weather now prevailing, anc!with fishing rivers running at normallevels, good catches are anticipatedshortly.

pital committee, the North Canter-bury Hospital Board, at a meeting inChristchurch yesterday, decided- todiscontinue the use of soft X-rays inthe radium department of the Clyist-church Public Hospital, and to restrictthe work of the department to deeptherapy and radium treatment. Thecommittee reported that the scope ofthe work of the department would beconsidered by the staff executive indue course, and that a further recom-mendation could then be expected.Approval was also given by the boardto a recommendation by the commit-tee that endeavours should be madeto secure the services of two trainedtechnicians for the X-ray department,to replace two technicians who wouldprobably be leaving before the endof the year

PURCHASE OFFARM

APPLICATION BY MRF. P. WALSH

DISCUSSION IN THEHOUSE

(From Our Parliamentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON, August 22.

Considerableheat was shown in theHouse of Representatives to-day whenthe reply by the Minister of Lands(the Hon. C. F. Skinner) to a ques-tion concerning a land sales com-mittee application of Mr F. P. Walshwas discussed. The discussion wasinitiated by the Government, Mr Skin-ner taking the unusual course for aMinister of moving a formal motionfor consideration of Ministers’ repliesto questions.

Mr Skinner, in a written answer toMr W. A. Sheat (Opposition, Patea),who had inquired concerning an ap-plication by Mr Walsh to purchase afarming property near Wellington,said land sales'committees gave fuiiconsideration to the question of un-due aggregation when dealing withapplications for consent to transac-tions where persons already owningland sought to acquire further land.This they were bound to do under theact, as no doubt the honourable mem-ber knew very well. He ought toknow also that the Minister did notinstruct committees in any particular.“However, in case he is not alreadyaware of the fact, I am glad to assurehim that committees take a broad andreasonable view of the aggregation ofland,” added the Minister.

The Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon.P. Fraser) said the name of the indi-vidual concerned had been deletedfrom the note to the question on thesupplementary order paper, but inview of the publicity given the mat-ter when the question was asked,members should have the right to re-fer to the name. The House agreedto this course.

Mr Skinner, supplementing his writ-ten answer, said Mr Sheat knew thatthe Minister of Lands had no rightto interfere with land sales commu-tes at all. The question was framedto give publicity to a particular trans-action, which was selected fromthousands going through the land salescommittee. At the time Mr Walshwas negotiating the sale of his exist-ing property in Wairarapa to returnedservicemen, and that sale had sincebeen completed, subject to the com-mittee’s approval. Had this sale notbeen delayed there would have beenno .suggestion of aggregation by MrWalsh, and Mr Sheat knew that per-fectly well.

“Grossly Unfair" ReferenceMr Skinner added that in any case

a number of members of the OppositionoSvned more than one farm. Thereference to Mr Walsh had beengrossly unfair, and showed a lack ofsense of proportion on the part of themember who asked the question.

Mr Sheat: Tell us the full factsabout the Wairarapa property.

Mr Skinner: That does not concernthis House.

The Minister added that Mr Walsh,in endeavouring to arrange the pur-chase of the second property, hadbeen acting for relatives. The prop-erty concerned was unsuitable for re-turned men. There was no need tobring such pointless questions beforethe House.

Mr Sheat: I object to the suggestionthat I asked this question from anyulterior motive. (Government laugh-ter.)

Mr Sheat asked why. if Mr Walshhad not been attem; ting to aggregateland, the committee had refused theapplication to purcha e a second farm.The proncr coin's* for the committeewould havi- been to delay its authorityuntil the first farm had been , sold.Mr Sheat said that if a man ofwealth, whether he was a trade unionsecretary or anyone else, wanted toinvest his surplus money to developland, thereby helping production, itwas a serious thing that he should berefused an opportunity to do so. TheMinister* had represented Mr Walshas a magnanimous patriotic citizen,but was it not a fact that he hadfailed to comply with the terms onwhich he bought his Wairarapa farm?

Was it not a lands for settlementproperty, obliging the owner to liveon it? Had not Mr Walsh, with theconnivance of the Land Board andthe Minister of Lands, failed to com-ply with this condition since hebought the farm four years ago? Washe not farming it as an absentee land-lord through sharemilkers?

Mr Sheat said Mr Walsh had dis-closed to the land sales committeethat he owned houses in Taumarunui,and that he proposed to sell them,but failed to indicate that he wasnegotiating the sale of his Wairaraoafarm as the Minister now related. Thefact was that Mr Walsh was boundto divest himself of the Wairarapafarm, or else live on it.

Mr F. W. Doidge (Opposition,Tauranga): Who is Mr Walsh?

Mr Sheat: He is one of the bigthree of the Federation of Labour.

Mr Sheat added that if it had beendisclosed to the committee that MrWalsh was acting on behalf of mem-bers of his family, then the com-mittee’s rejection on the ground ofattempted aggregation was a wrongone.

“Extraordinary Anger”Mr Fraser said the matter was some-

thing new in his experience of theHouse—it was the first time the busi-ness affairs of a citizen outside theHouse had been discussed. Mr Walshwas not an executive officer of theFederation of Labour, but he had beenfor many years the efficient secretaryof the Seamen’s Union. He had beena member of the Stabilisation Com-mission, and had worked night andday without a penny reward in hissuccessful endeavours to preserve in-dustrial peace in the Dominion duringthe war. When lying on 1what mighthave been his death-bed he haddirected the patriotic art union withgreat sdccess. He had lived on theWairarapa farm until his duties as amember of the Stabilisation Commis-sion, and then his illness, had pre-vented him doing so. In negotiatingfor the second property, Mr Walshacted on behalf of his sister, and whenthe investment company which wasfinancing the proposition asked him,for security purposes, to take some in-terest in the farm, he took a one-sixthshare in it. There was no justifica-tion for a member asking such ques-tions unless he wished to become anexpert in personal attacks on citizensoutside the House. He said that if hehad made such an attack he wouldbe ashamed to remain a member of theHouse.

Mr W. J. Poison (Opposition, Strat-ford) said he was interested in thePrime Minister’s extraordinary angerwhen any reference was made to aleader of the Labour movement.

Mr Fraser: It is when I see any-thing contemptible.

Mr Poison said there had beennumerous occasions when a Ministerhad attacked persons outside theHouse who could not reply. If nameswere not to be mentioned in the House,Ministers should also observe the rule.Mr Poison said that when the questionwas asked all members thought it wasa good joke, but what disturbed himnow was the Brime Minister’s anger.He thought there was nothing to begained by discussing the matterfurther.

Mr D. C. Kidd (Opposition, Wai-taki) said he did not object to MrWalsh having a farm, but he did ob-ject to the Minister telling only halfthe story.

The discussion then lapsed.

Firewood at BurwoodAccording to a report presented by

the finance committee at a meeting ofthe North Canterbury Hospital Boardyesterday, more than 300 cords offirewood had been obtained throughthe clearing of treees in the groundsof the Burwood Hospital. The reportadded that the plantations were inrather a bad way because of branchesbrought down by the recent snow. Aconsiderable amount of tree-toppingand felling had been carried out atthe Upper Sanatorium, Cashmere,

N.Z. PRIMARYINDUSTRIES

Post-War OutlookDiscussed

BALANCED EXTERNALTRADfe ADVOCATED"With the coming of peace, our pro-

blems are not over; if we are tobenefit from the great sacrifices somany have made, we must face thoseproblems with .a national outlook, andnot allow sectional strife to jeopardiseour hard-won freedom," said Mr G.H. Grigg, who presided, at the annualmeeting of the Canterbury Sheepown-ers’ Union in Christchurch yesterday.

“It is in New Zealand’s intereststhat we should make every effort toincrease our primary production. Notonly will we be doing our bit for therelief of the world food shortage, butwe will assist greatly towards themaintenance of our present prosperityand standard of living. If farm pro-duction is to increase, it can be doneonly by improving the fertility of ourfarm lands, and one of the ways to dothis in Canterbury is by the use ofmore lime. Our farmers to-day arebeginning to realise the benefit of limeto their land, but they find that theyare unable tok procure it when- theywant it

“I should like to draw your atten-tion to what America is doing. Shehas increased her farm production bymore than 30 per cent, since 1936, andin doing this she has increased heragricultural lime output by seventimes from 1936 to 1944. More than 70per cent, of the lime is distributed inbulk. Until we do the same here, andencourage the distribution of lime inbulk, and where possible by trucksfrom the quarry to the farm, we willnot be able to use the quantity thefarms require—four or five times theamount used to-day.

“A Lime Commission made a reportin 1939, but nothing has .been heardof it; I would suggest that some actionshould be taken oVi the lines of thatreport. I am afraid that our Depart-ment of Agriculture is sound asleep.One of our enterprising transport com-panies wished to procure lime in bulkat certain railway stations, whence itcould be distributed to farmers, butthe Department of Agriculture refusedt<r allow the company the 100 milesfree railage because the act says thatfree railage can be given only tofarmers. ,

„•

“Unless we wake -up and allow ouilime industry to be reorganised, wewill be left behind, and our futureprosperity and standard of-living willbe vitally affected.

Housing for Farm Worker*“Another way to help, farm produc-

tion would be by encouraging farmersto build houses for their employees. Itis essential to attract more labour on•to the farms, and we want the bestlabour. The most satisfactory labourwould be recruited from married men,for whom homes must be found. Iwould suggest that the farmers wouldbe encouraged to build houses for mar-ried employees if they were alloweddepreciation concessions in a similarmanner to those provided for commer-cial buildings and, plant in this year’sBudget. It is not suggested that thisshould apply to the farmer’s ownhome, but to houses which he may pro-vide for his married employees.

“One of the problems facing our in-dustry is the future marketing of wool.A conference between representativesof Britain and the Empire wool-pro-ducing countries was held in Londonlast May to discuss this question. Wehave not heard the results of that con-ference yet, but I am confident that asatisfactory solution will be found, andthat if there is full co-operation amongthe United Nations and world freetrad: for raw wool, the surplus of woolheld to-day, i! it is' carefully dealtwith, should help to maintain stablewool prices which are so necessary towoolgrowers and wool manufacturersalike. In the past, fluctuating woolprices have undoubtedly been a factorassisting the rapid growth of the syn-thetic fibre industry.'

“Our annual report makes mentionof our representation at the Londonconference of primary producers,which is being called by the NationalFarmers’ Union of Great Britain todiscuss the formation of an interna-tional primary producers’ organisa-tion and the distribution and market-ing of primary produce. The discus-sions that will take place at this con-ference may vitally affect our exporttrade to Britain, Advice has been re-ceived that this conference, originallyexpected to be held in October next,has been tentatively postponed untilMay or June next year.

"We in New Zealand depend on theprice received for our exports, whichare mainly food products, whereas itis essential that the export trade ofBritain should be maintained and con-siderably increased if her economicposition is to remain sound. Her ex-ports, however, are not foodstuffs butmanufactured articles, products ofthousands of factories manned by mil-lions of workers, covering a widerange of industries, from the makingof the finest fabrics to the heaviesttypes of machinery, and engineeringrequirements of all kinds, as well asmillions of pounds worth of unfinishedraw material products, such as wooltops, etc. It would appear—if we takethe broad view, realising that muchBritish finance is invested in foreigncountries, that British shipping de-pends for its revenue on sea trafficboth ways to Britain, and that main-tenance of the ability of Britain’sforeign debtors to meet their obliga-tions in goods of many kinds is neces-sary—that it will be imperative to usethe greatest care to ensure that thebalance of trade is maintained and im-proved on the British side. This willbe essential if Britain is to carry onsuccessfully under post-war peaceconditions.

External Trade Policy“This basic factor, to my mind,

should not be lost sight of, and it willbe necessary for any policy followedwith regard to New Zealand’s futuretrading to have in view at all timesour balance, between values receivedfor our exports and prices paid forour essential imports, and as nearly aspossible to establish confidence be-tween ourselves end practically ouronly customer by a clear-cut and gen-erously conceived system of reciprocaltrade, I think we are all prepared toadmit that at the present time, andfor many years past, the generosityhas always been given us in greatermeasure by Britain than has been thecase from ourselves to the Homeland.When one thinks’ of the enormoussums spent by Britain since 1939 forwar purposes, the necessity for somegreater measure of generosity on ourpart will be apparent.

“Any New Zealand internal policywhich ignores the necessity .of themaintenance of a fair balance of tradein goods will surely be doomed tofailure, and the hardships resultingwill be reflected throughout thewlmleof our community. The great serviceour secondary industries have givenin the past, and especially during thewar period, when Britain was quiteunable to supply many of the goodsnow made here, is acknowledged, butunless the goods made here are al-lowed to compete .reasonably withgoods imported from the Homeland,then our high' primary productioncosts and the lower efficiency result-ing will be such that our, ability tocompete on thq world ma-kets withour primary produce will be vitallyaffected.’’ >

Missing Prisoners of War.—Six hun-dred and ninety British and Empiretroops, excluding Indians, who wereprisoners of war in Germany, havenotyet been accounted for. This was an-nounced in the House of Commons bythe Secretary of State for War (Mr J.Lawson). —London, August 21.

POTSPAM PEACEULTIMATUM

NEW ZEALAND NOTCONSULTED

MEMBERS’ QUESTIONS* ANSWERED

(P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 22.Ministers’ answers to questions were

tabled in the House of Representativesthis afternoon.

‘ The Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon.P. Fraser), in reply to Mr E. P. Ader-man (Opposition, New Plymouth), saidthat the New Zealand Governmentwas not consulted before the Potsdampeace ultimatum was issued to Japan,and it shared the regret of the Com-monwealth Government, as expressedby Dr. Evatt, that the.proclamationwas issued without previous consulta-tion with Australia and New Zealand,who had actively participated in thewar in the Far East, and who werevitally interested in the nature of thepeace settlement with Japan, MrFraser added that the peace termsforeshadowed in the proclamation hadappeared to provide greater leniencyfor Japan as compared with Germany,but subsequent events had shown thatthere was no intention to be lenientin the execution of the final terms ofthe Japanese surrender. .

Source of Party Funds.—Replying toMr H. E. Combs (Government, Wel-lington Suburbs), Mr Fraser said thequestion of introducing legislationmaking it mandatory for all politicalparties to disclose the source of allcontributions to party funds, and theway in which such funds were dis-bursed, was receiving favourable con-sideration.

, _

Auction Sales.—The Minister of In-dustries- and Commerce (the Hon. D.G. Sullivan) replying to Mr L. G.Lowry (Government, -Otaki), whoasked whether in view of the allegedpractice of auctioneers buying on theirown behalf, he would- consider settingup a commission to inquire into whatway justice could be done to thosewho had been wronged over a periodof years, said that as the result of aWellington case an ihquiry had beeninstituted, and when it was completedconsideration would be given to thecourse of action which might be neces-sary to protect growers against suchbuying in of produce.

Land Sales Act.—The Minister ofLands (the Hon. C. F. Skinnes), reply-ing to Mr R. M. Macfarlane (Govern-ment, Christchurch South), said thepenal provisions of the Servicemen’sSettlement and Land Sales Act wouldbe invoked in every case where theevidence was sufficient to warrant aprosecution against a land agent orany other person who defeated thepurposes of the act. In the event of aland agent being convicted of such anoffence, the Government would nodoubt consider termination of theagent’s licence. „

Newspaper Lettera.—Mr Fraser, re-plying to Mr W, T. Anderton (Gov-ernment, Eden), said considerationwould be given to the, introduction oflegislation making it 1 an offence fordaily newspapers to publish “factory-made” letters. Mr Anderton had saidthat a “factory-made’’ letter was oneprepared in a newspaper’s own office,and inserted to deceive readers intobelieving it was from an outsidesource.

Use of Chloroform.—The Minister ofHealth (the Hon. A. H. Nordmeyer),replying to Mr P. G, Connolly (Gov-ernment, Dunedin West), paid an in-quiry had been initiated mt6 the re-cent Christchurch case where it wasalleged that a midwife had adminis-tered chloroform to a woman in con-finement, who later died.

Rent Charged For Rooms.—The Act-ing-Minister of Labour (the Hon. J.O’Brien), replying to Mr F. Hackett(Government, Grey Lynn), said thequestion of charges for rooms wasbeing considered with a view toafford-ing protection in cases similar to theone mentioned by Mr Hackett of aperson paying £3 a week for oneroom, containing only two beds and aduchesse. The man paying this rent’had informed a magistrate that he re-ceived a cup of tea and a couple ofbiscuits in the morning, the magistratecommenting: “This is just sufficient toput if outside the Fair Rents Act.” 1

Powers of Justices.—ln reply to aquestion by Mr Anderton about thesentence of ■ two years’ imprisonmentimposed by justices of the peace on aprisoner who escaped from a prisonfarm, the Minister of Justice (the Hon.H. G. R. Mason) said that in the last12 years the same term had very fre-quently been imposed by experiencedJudges and Magistrates. The PrisonsBoard had power to review sentences,and, where an escapee settled downand showed worthiness of it, it invari-ably recommended remission of a sub-stantial part and sometimes the wholeof the added sentence for escaping. MrAnderton, who described the sentenceas “harsh and unconscionable,” hadasked if the Minister would introducelegislation preventing justices of thepeace from imposing such sentences.

School Bursaries.—None of the pri-vately endowed bursaries and scholar-ships at New Zealand secondary schoolswas subsidised by the Government,said Mr Mason as Minister of Educa-tion, in reply to Mr J. Acland (Opposi-tion, Ternuka). A number of agricul-tural bursaries were provided for thosetaking degree courses at CanterburyAgricultural College or Massey College.Mr Acland had asked whether the Min-ister would consider subsidising fundsraised by schools for bursaries at Can-terbury- Agricultural College, as in thecase of the Pleasant Point District HighSchool.

Widows’ Incomes.—An assurancethat the difficulties of widows withyoung children were fully appreciatedby the Government, and that full con-sideration would be given them inplans for the minimum family incomewas given by the Minister of SocialSecurity (the Hon. W. E. Parry), Hewas answering a question aske’d by MrW. M. C. Denham (Government, Inver-cargill).

Postmasters’ Salaries.—A compre-hensive review of the salaries of non-permanent postmasters and post-mistresses is being made, and the de-partment hopes to be able to make anearly announcement. This reply wasgiven by the Acting-Postmaster-Gen-eral (the Hon. F. Jones) to an inquiryby Mr E. B. Corbett (Opposition. Eg-mont) about what action was beingtaken to adjust these salaries to bringthem into line with those of permanentemployees.

Tourist Travel.—The Governmenthas recently sent an officer to Londonto organise suitable publicity and tore-establish pre-tfar contacts withtravel agencies in anticipation of theresumption of tourist travelling. Thisinformation was given by Mr Fraserin reply to Mr M. H. Oram (Opposi-tion, Manawatu).

R.N.Z.A.F. TECHNICALSCHOOL

TRANSFER FROM NELSON TOHOBSONVILLE

(P.A.) NELSON, August 22.The R.N.Z.A.F. technical training

school at Nelson is to be transferredto Hobsonville, Auckland, as soon asit can be accommodated at the north-ern station. In the meantime generaldemobilisation of station personnel isto proceed. Air Headquarters couldto-day give no definite date for theclosing of the station, but it is sug-gested that all but a maintenance staffwill have been released or transferredto Hobsonville in a fortnight.

The first men to be demobilised willbe trainees who have only recentlycommenced their courses. Men whohave got beyond a certain stage oftheir training and who wish to com-plete their course for rehabilitationpurposes will be given the opportunityto do so, and those who have appliedto join the permanent force will alsocontinue at the school.

The attitude to be adopted towardsmen who are on refresher or conver-sion courses has not yet been decidedby the Air Department. It is expectedthat the releases now proposed willbring the number at the school downto about 400.

The technical training school wasestablished at Rongotai, Wellington,early in the war, and was transferredto Nelson in June, 1943, when the Nel-son station was vacated by the No. 2General Reconnaissance Squadron.

RUAPEHU STILLACTIVE

Wanganui Covered,

By DustSMOKE MAKESDAY GLOOMY

(p.A.) WANGANUI. August 22.Wanganui at nightfall to-day was

covered by a thin layer of silica, andstreets, footpaths, and buildings look-ed as if there had been a light fall offeathery snow. It was dust from Rua-pehu, which is maintaining its recentactivity.

There were two explosions in thecrater to-day, according to residentsof Ohakune. The first, which was themore severe, was at 3 p.m. A columnof black smoke rose to a height esti-mated at 10,000 feet. This outburstwas followed by another less powerfulat 4.10 p.m. The first explosion couldbe heard over the whole of Ohakune.

All day long the mountain has beenemitting columns of black smoke,steam, and ash. The wind was fromthe north-east, amk it appeared asthough smoke from the crater, afterbeing forced up to a great height,tended to drift downwards towards theearth. . .

Very dull conditions came overWanganui shortly before midday,when the first signs of volcanic dustWere noticed. Conditions brightenedfor a time, but by mid afternoon dustbegan falling like fine rain, and thewhole area between the coast and imemountain became coated in white. Thedistance by air from Wanganui to themountain is approximately 50 miles.

Residents of Ohakune say that con-ditions there looked weird, as seenthrough the thick, foglike dust.

Cars Raise the DustIn Wanganui the War memorial

tower on Durie Hill and the watertower on Bastia Hill could not be seenfrom Gonville through the thick vol-canic haze. Motor-cars in the streetsraised dust to almost the same extentas though travelling on an unsealedhighway.

...

- The dust is very fine, but is of veryhard particles, which, if rubbed on tothe mudguard of a car, removes thepaint in the same way ss emery paperwould. This type of dust has fallenover a wide area ever since Ruapehubegan erupting, and many vegetablecrops in the Ohakune and Raetihi dis-tricts are suffering, and it is probablethat when shearing starts in Taihapeand adjacent districts, much of thegrit-like volcanic material will befound in the wool. If it does not affectthe quality of the wool, it will certain-ly not be popular with shearers, be-

. cause of its effect on combs and cut-ters in the shearing sheds.

Although the dark and gloomy con-ditions prevailing to-day m areas be-tween Wanganui and the mountainhave c. used some persons to become alittle more apprehensive than usual,there is no foundation for any story ofevacuation. Naturally people haveexplored means of quickly leaving thedistrict should the need arise, but thathas only been precautionary. At pre-sent it is true to say that those near-est the mountain show the least con-cern at its rumbling, flashing moods.Explosions at night are very spectacu-lar. One burst on Tuesday night wasparticularly vivid. It was describedby a resident of Ohakune as a con-tinual display of fireworks.

PETROL SUPPLIES—«——

HEAVY EUROPEANDEMAND

TYRE POSITION MAYIMPROVE


Recent information from Americathat a considerable improvement inthe tyre position was hoped for duringthe year was mentioned by the Minis-ter of Supply (the Hon. D. G. Sulli-van) during a discussion on tyres andpetrol in the House of Representativesthis afternoon. He said it was hardto reconcile that information. withstatements he had seen that no sub-stantial improvement was likely for ayear or 18 months, but it came froma source on which a good deal of re-liance could be placed.

The Minister’s latest advice on pet-rol prospects was not so optimistic. Hesaid that in the last 24 hours he hadbeen advised that the petrol supplyposition in the immediate future mightbecome more difficult because ofheavy European requirements, as aresult of the dislocation of railwayservices.

The discussion arose on the Minis-ter’s reply to a question asked byMr J. Acland (Opposition, Temuka)and Mr W. S. Goosman (Opposition,Waikato) about the retreading oftyres, and the cancellation of smallpetrol licences. The Minister said ar-rangements had been made for theformer holders of licences to get tyresretreaded on corfobordtion of theirstatement that they had held licencesup to Jply 31.

Mr Acland said that country people,to get their four gallon licences, hadhad to prove that they were essential,yet those licences had been cancelled,while licences for larger amounts hadbeen left untouched.

The Minister said the cancellation ofsmall licences had been one of theconditions imposed by overseas au-thorities handling American suppliesbefore they would increase the alloca-tion for New Zealand.

Mr W. Sullivan (Opposition, Bay ofPlenty) interjected that surely thecancellation must have been a localmatter.

Overseas authorities had stipulatedthat 50 per cent, of special licenceswould have to be cancelled to compen-sate f. the increase in coupon value,replied the Minister.

Mr Acland; Why were some of thoseon bigger licences not asked for asacrifice?

The Minister said he was sympathe-tic to representations for the restora-tion of small licences, but in view ofthe latest advices he could not givean assurance that they would be re-stored.

Mr A. J. Murdoch (Opposition,Marsden) suggested that small petrollicences should be restored, and thatthe Minister then distribute the re-maining petrol among all motorists.

TAX CONCESSION�

PRIMARY INDUSTRYNOT MENTIONED

MR GILLESPIE’S COMPLAINTWELLINGTON, August 22.

A complaint that the Minister ofFinance (the Hon. W. Nash) was notprepared to give the same deprecia-tion taxation concession to primaryindustry as he had forecast for sec-ondary industries in his Budget, wasmade by Mr W. H. Gillespie (Opposi-tion, Hurunui), in the House of Re-presentatives this evening.

Mr Gillespie said farmers would re-member 1945 not only because itbrought victory and the worst winterin memory, but also because of theBudget. The Minister proposed togive secondary industry a concessionon building and machinery in assess-ing taxation, but Mr Gillespie couldnot find anywhere that the Ministersaid he was going to do the same forfarmers. Wes he going to?

When Mr Nash did not answer. MrGillespie said that showed the Minis-ter was not prepared to give thatundertaking. Mr Gillespie suggestedthat the special depreciation allow-ance should also be applied to ruralhousing. If primary industry werenot dealt with properly, from a na-tional viewpoint. New Zealand washeaded for national disaster. Mencould not be kept in the country un-less farmers were able to c 'mpete inthe open labour market.

Mr Gillespie complained that therewas no provision in the Budget for aplan to increase production.

BABY IN DANGERPROM FIRE

ALONE IN FLAT ATNIGHT

BRIGADE’S DISCOVERYWhen members of the ChristchurchFire Brigade entered a burning flat «-

few nights ago they found a four-weeks-old baby there alone. The callwas received at 10.55 p.m. When thelast engine left on its return to thestation at 12.13 a.m., the baby’s mother,who had left the flat some time beforethe alarm was given to attend a dance,had not returned. The alarm had beensounded when the fire was seen fromthe street.

“This, I am very pleased to say, isthe first case in my 30 years of experi-ence in which I have come across such-negligence,” said Superintendent A.Morrison yesterday. “The brigadesmenwere appalled to find the baby in theempty flat. No law covers such cases.The question is one of moral responsi-bility; no child should be left alone.”

Both doors of the flat, though closed,were unlocked when the brigade ar-rived at the block of three flats, and aquarter of the area of the sitting roomwas ablaze. The firemen heard the baby 'crying, and found it in its perambula-tor in the adjoining room, only 15 or SOfeet away from the fire. Later, aneighbour took charge of it.

The danger to the baby’s life had’been lessened by damage to the ceil- -

ing of the sitting room, said Superin-tendent Morrisqn. The fumes hadescaped through a hole to betweenthe ceiling and the roof instead ofspreading through the flat.

Mrs N. R. Banks, secretary of theSociety for the Protection of Womenand Children, said yesterday that thewoman, a devoted mother, was deeplyconscious of the danger in which shehad placed her child, and Mrs Bankssaid she was certain that the childwould never be left alone again. Themother had been lonely as her husbandwas serving in England. Arrangementshad been made for a member of theGeneral Service Corps to visit the flaton occasions when the mother wentout in future. In each district, groupsof the corps had for a long time beenlooking after the homes when thewives of absent servicemen went to anentertainment., The leaving of a baby in an empty

house was to be deplored, said MrsBanks, and she personally would notcountenance children as old as 11 yearsbeing left alone. *

YESTERDAY INTHE HOUSE


There was an unusually lively clasli ■’of opinions in the House of Representa-tives to-day when the Government ,

made an issue of a question asked byMr W, A. Sheat (Opposition, Patea)some time ago about land transactionsin which Mr F. P. Walsh was men-;tioned. An Opposition speaker sug- *

gested to-day that his name waa in-cluded by way of a joke, but the Gov-ernment took it in just the oppositeway.

The Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P.Fraser) heatedly attacked Mr Sheet forwhat he took as unfair criticism of MrWalsh, who is not only an importantfigure in the Labour movement, _ butalso a close friend of the Prime Minis- .ter. Mr Fraser emphasised, the im-portance of Mr Walsh’s work as a mem-ber of the Stabilisation Commission.

Interest was also given to the after-,noon’s proceedings by a statement mthe Minister of Supply (the Hon. D. G.Sullivan) on the North Aucklandrationing case in which he denied thatthere had ever been any authority fortaking bribes, and said the services ofthe men concerned had been termi-nated.

.,

The resumption of the Budget De-bate in the evening was by way of anti-climax, although Mr F. Langstone(Government, Waimarino) spent al-most all his hour discussing the Bankof iNew Zealand. He was not as elo--quent as usual, and added little to whathas already been said. His speech waslargely an historical review, in whichhe claimed that the bank had bittenthe hand that had fed it.

Other speakers were Messrs W._J.Broadfoot (Opposition, Waitomo), W.H. Gillespie (Opposition, Hurunui), andC. M. Williams (Government, Kaiapoihwho had just begun when the House •adjourned till to-morrow afternoon.

LANDINGS INJAPAN

Date Not Yet FixedPOWERFUL FORCES

FOR OPERATION(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)

(’Hcc. 11 p.ni.) LONDON, August 22.The date of the first landings in Japan and of the formal

surrender which will follow has not yet been definitely fixed,according to a 8.8.C. dispatch from General MacArthur’s head-quarters at Manila. The reason for this is the weather. Oki-nawa, the nearest air base to Japajj, is in the centre of thetyphoon area, and the monsoon is now blowing steadily south-ward towards Manila.

When the time for the occupation comes, it will be carriedout with powerful naval, air, and army forces, exactly as in aregular amphibious operation. The full poAver of the UnitedSlates Fleet will flank Japan when General MacArthur beginsthe occupation. Every available ship will be mustered in asingle operation. For the first time during the war virtually allof the hundreds of transport planes in the Pacific will be usedby the first landing groups. These will be covered by nearlyevery type of aircraft. The occupation operation may eclipsethe landing on Luzon, when 66.000 troops went ashore on thefirst day.

The Tokyo radio has broadcast a joint Army and Govern-ment communique giving details of the coming Allied landingoperations in Japan. The communique said that air operationswould begin over the mainland on Saturday, air-borne troopslanding at the Atsuki airfield (in the Tokyo area) on Sundaymorning, when two Allied fleets would enter Sagamo Bay, oneunit entering Tokyo Bay if conditions were favourable. Troopswould be landed from warships and transports in the vicinity ofAtsuki and Yokusuka (in Tokyo Bay) on Tuesday.

The communique added that in order to facilitate the Alliedlandings the Japanese forces had been ordered to withdraw aspromptly as possible in the Chiba, Kanagawa, Yamanasho,Yamahashi, and Shizuoka prefectures. Two divisions of navalpolice were reinforcing the local police and gendarmerie in theoccupied area.

The Tokyo radio says that the news-naoer “Yomiuri” has reported thatGeneral MacArthur plans to land per-«maUy on the Atsuki airfield, about20 miles from Tokyo, on August 28 Itadded that the surrender would beformally signed aboard a UnitedStates battleship in Tokyo Bay onAugust 31. The first ,group of occupa-tion forces would comprise slightlymore than 20,000 men.

The Domei News Agency has an-nounced that the Japanese army, navy,and air forces will be transferred im-mediately from the Atsuki and Yoko-suka areas, where a sufficient strengthof police and gendarmerie will be sta-tioned to maintain peace and order. Itsaid- “Because of the withdrawal ofthe large Japanese garrison from thefirst Allied occupation area, the use ofthe railways by general passengersand workers in the affected areas is

prohibited. All the Japanese Govern-ment's services are continuing, includ-ing food distribution.

“The Japanese Government hasissued a non-fraternisation order,which says that the army and the Gov-ernment are assuming full responsi-

• bilily for supplying living quartersand food to the Allied landing forces.It emphasised that there wpuld be nocontact between the general publicand the Allied landing forces. The oc-cupation would be carried out peace-fully, in a friendly manner, in accdrd-ance with the arrangements wifh theAllied forces. Therefore the people,especially those civilians and Govern-ment workers in the affected area,must not create unnecessary apprehen-sion and must maintain order andcarry on as in normal times.”

The Associated Press correspondentin Washington says that AdmiralNimitz is expected to sign the Jap-anese surrender terms on behalf ofthe United States. General Mac-Arthur, as already announced, will signon behalf of the Big Four. AdmiralSir Bruce Fraser is reported to besigning for Britain. China and Rus-sia have 'so far not named their rep-resentatives. •

JAPANESE ONBOUGAINVILLE

SURRENDER ORDERSOBEYED

SYDNEY, Aug. 22.Japanese troops are obeying the sur-render orders given them by the Aus-tralian commander on Bougainville(Lieutenant-General S. G. Savige).Large bodies of Japanese have beenobserved moving back to pre-arrangedassembly points behind their lines.

The surrender orders were sent tothe Japanese commander (Lieutenant-General Kanda) through his envoy,Captain Takanaka. H.M.A.S. Lithgowpicked up Captain Takanaka and laterreturned him to a Japanese position.He has now left to bring Lieutenant-GeneralKanda to Australian headquar-ters at Torokina.

The New Zealand Air Force head-quarters on Bougainville has receivedword from pilots at Jacquinot Bay(New Britain) that thousands of Jap-anese there are preparing for an early•urrender.

TREATMENT OFJAPAN

“Lenient ComparedWith Germany”

EXPECTATIONS INTOKYO

(Rec. 10 p.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 21.Analysing the Potsdam declaration,

the Japanese Domei News Agency ex-pressed the view that the Allied termswere somewhat lenient compared withthe treatment of Germany. The Alliedoccupation area in Japan was not de-fined by Potsdam terms, said theagency, and it could be construed thatan attempt was being made to limitthe occupation of Japan to vital mili-tary, political, and economic centres—-entirely different from the total occu-pation of Germany. Also, although theAllies intended to disarm the Japaneseforces, they apparently did not intendusing Japanese soldiers as a labourcorps.

The Domei Agency added that heayyindustries would probably be dis-mantled, but Japan would be allowedto continue her peaceful industries andto have access to raw materials. ThePotsdam declaration also recognisedthe people’s democratic leanings whenit referred to the reviving or theirdemocratic tendencies.

The Tokyo newspaper “Asahi" saidthat the conduct of the surrendermeetings and the arrangements for thelarding of the occupation troops indi-cated that the United States wouldtreat Japan with understanding. Itadded that the United States militaryauthorities in Manila did not purposelyhumiliate the Japanese envoys, buttreated them fairly and considerately,and also dictated reasonable methodsof landing the occupation forces. “Ap-parently the United States policy is torecognise the authority of the Japan-ese Government and Imperial Head-

and to carry out the termsof the Potsdam declaration throughthese institutions,” said “Asahi.” “TheAllies are using prudence, not to pro-voke the Japanese people by deroga-tion of the Emperor’s prestige in theeyes of the Japanese nation.”

The Tokyo radio announced: "Oneof the Japanese surrender emissarieshas reported that the attitude of theAmerican leaders at Manila was toler-ant and understanding. Japanese re-quests were given proper treatment.The conference was conducted effi-ciently and the Japanese envoys weretreated respectfully.”

“Path of Peaceful Nation”The newspaper “Mainichi," in an ar-

ticle broadcast by the Tokyo radio,said. “Japan’s affairs in future willbe ruled by the Allies’ one-sided voice.Even if Japan’s wishes- are overruledshe cannot make a single complaint.Unconditional surrender means thatthe defeated nation accepts all theconquerors’ terms.

“We must quietly realise the tragicfact that Japan is stripped bare andmust begin anew. Since our endeav-ours to build up Japan based on sheermight have met with complete failurewe must henceforth tread the path ofa peaceful nation."

_.

The “Nippon Times,” observing thatplans for a revival of iatense politicalactivity are already proceeding, added:“If the trend is toward the politicalmotive of currying favour with theAllied Powers, and there is any con-scious design to shorten the period ofmilitary occupation, the result will beunfortunate. A new political systemmust be established, but it must oeevolved sincerely and soundly as anatural development, and spring fromthe Japanese people’s real life. Any-thing else would only invite suspicionand contempt.”

AUSTRALIA JOINSMAIN POWERS

To Sign SurrenderInstrument

DELEGATION FORTOKYO

(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright;(Rec. 10.45 p.m.) SYDNEY, Aug. 22.

Representatives of the Australianfighting services will sign the instru-ment of surrender in Tokyo. Thisnews, announced to-day, is regardedas a triumph for Australia's claim tobe fully consulted in Pacific affairs.

The Australian delegates will be:—General Sir Thomas Blarney (leader),Commodore J. A. Collins end CaptainR. R. Dowling (Navy), Lieutenant-General F. H. Berryman (Army), andAir Vice-Marshal G. Jones and AirVice-Marshal W. D. Bostock (AirForce).

“This decision to include Australiafollows strong representations madeby the Government concerning ourrights to lull participation in the sur-render and armistice arrangementswith Japan.” said the Minister of De-fence (Mr J. A. Beasley). He addedthat Australia would sign in Tokyo, inthe same way as the four principalPowers, the United States, Great Bri-tain. Russia, and China.

“During the last few weeks a bitterbehind-the-scenes diplomatic strugglehas been going on between the Aus-tralian and British Governments,” saysthe Canberra correspondent of theSydney “Sun.”

"The Australians’ complaint wasthat Australia, the main upholder ofthe Empire in the Pacific, was beingrelegated to a position of a depend-ency. Australia believed that, as thesolitary while race in the Pacific, sur-rounded by nations of other origins ithad a vital interest in the Pacific. Thepreservation of a Japan with a codethat viewed peace as a breathing spacebefore another war might spell doomto Australia, and Australia contendedthat its future was too inextricablylinked with what action was beingtaken for it to be indifferent.

“Australia found that Britain didnot fight to get Australia representedthroughout the surrender and thearmistice negotiations. The Austra-lian viewpoint was that Britain, by

this attitude, was relegating it to aposition of a fourth-rate Power, soAustralia asked America to use its in-fluence to get Australia representationat the surrender.

“On the military .side, also, therewas a conflict between the Australianand British viewpoints, Britain want-ed only one Australian brigade to goto Japan as part of the British EmpireForce, but Australia decided to sendtwo brigades. This meant that itwould be able to play a more impor-

tant part in the policing of Japan,which, in turn, would have a psycho-logical effect upon the Japanese ap-proach to Australia’s importance. Aus-tralia also rejected a suggestion thatthe Australian force should operateunder the British commander and in-sisted upon its own commander, wnowould be subject only to directionfrom the Supreme Allied Commander(General MacArthur).”

IN SOUTH-EASTASIA

JAPANESEREPORT “NOCEASE FIRE YET”

SURRENDER EXPECTEDEARLY NEXT MONTH

(Rec. 11 p.m.) LONDON, August 22.It is expected that the Japanese

forces in the South-east Asia Corn-mand area will surrender to the Su-preme Allied Commander (AdmiralMountbatten) at Singapore early nextmonth.

The Japanese-held Singapore radiosaid that the cease fire order had notyet been issued in the Asiatic south-ern regions. Therefore, any Alliedair, sea, or land approach might leadto an unfortunate incident. Perfectpeace and order were being maintainedin Singapore, where the _ Japaneseforces were bearing the entire respon-sibility for the safety of the public.

“Every possible effort is being madeto carry out the Emperor’s wishes,”said the Singapore radio, “but it islearned that fighting spirit and moralehave been kept very high throughout,from officers down to privates.

“An Imperial emissary bearing theEmperor’s orders arrived at Japaneseheadquarters to-day.”

The Saigon radio said that the Jap-anese commander of the SouthernArmy, Field-Marshal Count Terauchi,would reply to-day to Admiral Mount-batten’s demand for the surrenderof the Japanese forces there. It addedthat the Japanese forces had been or-dered to resist any Allied attempt toenter territory occupied by the Japan-ese forces “before the present armis-tice negotiations are completed."

Air Attack on Japanese"Thunderbolts fired on Japanese

forces near Shwegyin and broke up anenemy encirclement movement againstan Allied guerrilla force,” said theRangoon correspondent of the Asso-ciated Press vesterday. “This is thefirst action against the Japanese sinceAdmiral Mountbatten’s cease fire or-der. Another Japanese party whichwas threatened with capture commit-ted hara-kiri.”

“We cannot afford to treat the Jap-anese delicately, whether the war is

on or off." an Army spokesman toldReuter’s correspondent in Rangoon,He was referring to the action by theThunderbolts. “Japanese remnants ofthe 28th Imperial Army threatened tocut off a party of guerrillas and thelocal commander called for an airstrike. The pilots flew low, shootingcurtains of fire into the Japanese con-centrations. The weather was bad andvisibility was poor, so the results ofthe attack were not observed.

“Allied troops attempted to capturea party of eight Japanese, who wereslipping across the Rangoon-Mandalayrailway. Seven fe’l on hand grenadesand killed themselves and the eighthhad a leg blown off.”

CHINESE COMMUNISTSCLAIM ADVANCES

north-west of China, announced thatChinese Communists had capturedYangchung, on the Yangtse river, 60miles east of Nanking, and were alsoengaged in bitter fighting at Wuhu.Other troops had captured Chouhsiang,south of Shanghai. Puppet forces de-fended the town.

BRITISH GOVERNMENTNOT SATISFIED

RECOGNITION WILL NOTEE GRANTED

(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)LONDON, August 21.

The Foreign Office has announcedthat the following communication washanded over to-day to the BulgarianPrime Minister (Colonel Georgiev) byMr W. E. Houstoun-Boswall, the Brit-ish political representative in Sofia;

“His Majesty’s Government hasunder consideration theGovernment’s announced intention tohold general elections in the nearfuture. While His Majesty’s Govern-ment would welcome elections whichgave full and free opportunity for theBulgarian people’s expression of opin-ions, it is unable to believe that suchan opportunity will result from elec-tions held under the present Bulgarianelectoral law and in the conditionsnow obtaining throughout Bulgaria. Itconsiders that the form of law is de-signed to operate to the advantage ofthe Government at present in powerand to the disadvantage of its oppon-ents.

“Very recent concessions are proofthat freedom of expression has previ-ously been denied to the opposition,and His Majesty's Government cannothave confidence that these tardy con-cessions are in any sense adequate. Ithas now also received reports, whichit considers reliable, that persistentefforts have been made to intimidateopposition supporters and influencevoters in a manner entirely incon-sistent with democratic principles.

“I am accordingly instructed to in-form you that His Majesty's Govern-ment will be unable to recognise asdemocratic or representative any Bul-garian Government formed as a resultpf elections held 'under these condi-tions.”

On Monday the Bulgarian PrimeMinister was repotted by the Moscowradio as having said that the Bulgar-ian elections would be held next Sun-day, in spite of attempts at home andabroad to secure their postponement.

KING’S TRIBUTETO FORCES

REPLY TO LOYALADDRESSES

LONDON, August 21.King George went to the Palace of

Westminster to-day to receive Parlia-ment’s congratulations on Japan’s sur-render and the overthrow of all theKing’s enemies.

The ceremony took place in theRoyal Gallery. Crowds from Bucking-ham Palhce down the Birdcage Walkto Westminster gave the King a greatreception. He drove with the Queenand the Princesses in a closed car. Theceremony was carried out with all thetraditional pomp.

The King, replying to the addresses,said that the war against Japan wasfought far from the British Isles, buthe was proud that British people hadcontributed fully to victory. Theyshould pay a tribute to the armedforces, to whose courage, ..ndurance,and sacrifice their debt was immeasur-able. ,

_

The British Fleet, including Cana-dian, Australian, and New ' Zealandnaval units, had fought its way incomradeship with the American Navy

to the heart of the Japanese empire.The British East Indies Fleet haddriven the enemy from the IndianOcean and powerfully supported thearmies in Burma. The British Com-monwealth and Empire Armies hadsteadfastly endured the dangers andhardships of tropical warfare, servingtogether in a spirit of brotherhoodwhich would prevail through theyears to come.

He thought it proper to pay a par-ticular tribute to the forces from Indiaand East and West Africa, who, underconditions of almost unbearableseverity, had liberated Burma in a bril-liant campaign in which the medicaland nursing services had added aglorious page to their splendid recordthroughout the war.

Victories in Air WarThe King said that t. e Royal Air

Force, with the Dominion, Indian, andAllied air forces, had won historicvictories.

“Just as our hearts go out to thosefew whose spirit of achievement firstsustained us in the Battle of Britain,so also we pay a tribute to those who,with a power grown to match theirbravery, have taken their place in thelast great offensive of the Allies, ’• he

Sai, The perils of the war-time oceansdid not deter the Merchant Navy andfishing fleets from carrying out taskswithout which the military effortwould have failed for hck of supplies,

; and the people at Home would havestarved.”

The King especially paid a tributeto the British women in industry, tnesprvices, and the hofnes. “I am especi-ally glad to acknowledge the unfail-ing support in men, mat'rials, andfood given during the war by all partsof my Commonwealth and Empire,

said His Majesty.. “They have sufferedand struggled with us. and with usthey share the joy of victory. We sa-lute the great company of nations,large and small, which contributed tothe limit of their power to the restora-tion of peace on earth.”

When the King concluded there wasa rumble of applause, spontaneous innature and exceptional, at the conc*“:

sion of a Royal address. Then MrAttlee rose and called for three cheeisfor 'Their Majesties and their RoyalHighnesses.

DOMINIONS’ WARTRIBUTE PAID BY

MR ATTLEELONDON, August 21.

“The war is over, but everyone inthese islands should remember thegreat debt we owe to our own country-men and the men from the Dominionswho bore the hardship of the long cam-paigns.” said Mr Attlee in opening a“Victory Over Japan” exhibition,which is being held on a bombed sitein London.

"You will recall how our gallant kithand kin in New Zealand and Australiasent the elite of their fighting forcesto. aid us against Germany, and thenfound that their homelands werethreatened by an enemy fantasticallybrave and barbarously cruel,” he con-tinued. “Let us not forget that theJapanese hordes, in a few months,swept over more than 500,000 squaremiles of British territory containingnearly 25,000,000 of the King’s subjects.

“You will see a record of savageryand brutal exploitation which was themethod of the Japanese. You will seehow we fought back inch by inch inBurma, New Guinea, and Borneo,mastering the art of jungle warfare,and eventually beating the Japanese attheir own game.

“We should remember the names ofthe great actors in this drama, AdmiralMountbatten and Lieutenant-GeneralSlim in Burma, General Sir ThomasBlarney and his Australians in NewGuinea, and Admiral Power and Vice-Admiral Rawlings on the high seas.

"There are many graves in those dis-tant lands. There are many who arereturning with the marks of sufferingfrom years of imprisonment in condi-tions unfit for beasts and subjected tothe cruelty and callousness of the Japa-nese military caste.” ’

Jungle realism is the keynote of theexhibition. Giant cobwebs brush againstthe faces of passing visitors, who alsohear the sound of running water, thenoise of insects, and the wails ofjackals and hyenas. Records of thesesounds were made by an Army filmunit. The temperature of the junglesection of the exhibition is kept at 120degrees to add further to the realism.English-speaking Gurkhas and men ofthe U4h Army are guides at the ex-hibition. .

.. TWar heroes marched through Lon-

don to-day to the exhibition. Thetroop? included South Africans, Aus-tralians. Canadians, and pnen of theIndian Army.

END OF LEND-LEASE

Effect On DietIn Europe

“RETURNTO BARESUBSISTENCE”

(N.Z.,Press Association—Copyright)(Rec. 9 p.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 21.

High United States Governmentofficials have expressed the viewthat the cancellation of the lend-lease programme virtually means a.return to a bare subsistence dietin the coming winter in Britain,France, Belgium, and other coun-tries dependent on large shipmentsof lend-lease food.

It was stated that the “pipeline”through which tons of pork andother meats, oil, wheat, and cereals ■moved from Chicago to Europehad been broken. It would requiremonths to establish complicatedsubstitute machinery for feedingEurope.Officials added that regardless of

what the relief and rehabilitation agen-cies did to feed and clothe Europeannations, the cessation of lend-leasemeant a return to potatoes and Brus-sels sprouts in Britain for more thana month, and far worse conditions onthe Continent.

The suddenness with which PresidentTruman acted has led to considerable,speculation. In some Governmentquarters it is suggested that difficultiesare deliberately being thrown in theroad of the new British Labour Gov-ernment.

“The long period of unbroken rainin Germany, which has gravely dam-aged the harvest, is causing anxiety,”says the correspondent of the "DailyTelegraph” at Field-Marshal Montgom-ery’s headquarters. “The harvest pro-mised to yield a good crop, but theweather will certainly reduce it to wellunder normal, necessitating the impor-tation of further supplies to preventwidespread 'famine.”

According to an official of UNRRA,Hungarian brigands are attacking -andpillaging food trains. This threatens astoppage or delay in supplies for cen-tral Europe. The brigands are reportedto be mostly disbanded soldiers. TheUNRRA trains may be discontinuedpending a resumption of shipping onthe Danube, which, according to theRussian authorities, is now free ofmines.

QUISLING’S TRIALDealings With Nazi

Leaders(Rec. 5,5 p.m.) LONDON, August 21.

Nazi Party files in Germany provid-ed additional evidence against VidkunQuisling during Tuesday’s session ofhis trial for treason in Oslo.

The prosecutor (Mr A. Schoedjt) ac-cused Quisling of failing in his dutyand loyalty as a Norwegian officerwhen mobilisation was ordered in 1940.He said Quisling was on the reservewith the rank of major after retiringfrom the Army in 1938.

Quisling rose and replied that he hadtold the commander-in-chief in 1939that he did not wish to serve as an offi-cer under the then Government.

Mr Schoedjt produced documentsfound in Germany as' evidence oftreasonable activities in 1940 by Quis-ling and hiS agent, Hagelin. One docu-ment concerned a meeting betweenQuisling, Hagelin, and the GermanGeneral Staff in 1939. It mentionedQuisling’s preparations to take overkey posts in Norway when the Ger-mans invaded. Other Nazi documentsproduced outlined Quisling’s informa-tion to German naval officers.

The prosecutor explained that theGerman Fleet, under cover of exercise,planned action against the Norwegiancoast based on information from Quis-ling and his friends. <

Mr Schoedjt then read a medical cer-tificate that Quisling was sane.

Quisling, replying to the presidingJudge, denied that he had negotiatedwith German naval and military chiefsin the way suggested by the reports. Hesaid he was convinced that the Ger-mans would come to Norway if Bri-tain and France attacked Norway. Hisefforts were directed toward makingthe German occupation as smooth aspossible—in other words to have theGermans arrive before the British andFrench.

He added that if Lord Wavell’scounsel were to be utilised to thefullest, direct personal contact wasessential.

It is officially announced that gen-eral elections for the central and pro-vincial legislatures will be heldthroughout India as soon as possible.They were last held for the CentralAssembly in 1934 and for the Pro-vincial Assemblies in 1936.

ATOMIC ENERGYINQUIRY

COMMITTEE SET UPIN BRITAIN

LONDON. August 21.The Prime Minister (Mr Attlee) an-

nounced in the House of Commonsthat the Government was establish-ing an advisory committee under SirJohn Anderson to deal with far-reach-ing questions involved in the discoveryof atomic energy for the purposes ofits development, whether for indus-trial or military purposes.

The other members of the com-mittee will be Sir Alexander Cado-gan, Field-Marshal Lord Brooke, SirAlan Barlow, Sir Edward Appleton,Sir Henry Dale, Sir James Chadwick,Sir George Thomson, and ProfessorP. M. Blackett.

Mr Churchill asked Mr Attlee tomake it clear that the committeewould deal with the technical aspectsof the progress of the study of theatomic bomb and other cosmic "mat-ters, and that it would not be con-cerned with the main policy to beadopted by Britain and other coun-tries.

Mr Attlee said that the policy, ofcourse, had to be decided by the Gov-ernment. but the committee wouldadvise the Govei'nment of the scien-tific progress, possibilities and gen-eral background of the whole sub-ject.

“It is unlikely that he will allowany outside engagements to Interferewith this undertaking until it is wellunder way. He has received dozensof offers from America to contributearticles, write a daily column, serialisehis memoirs, and conduct lecturetours, but his secretary has stated thathe has made no plans for the timebeing.”

(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)LONDON, August 21.

“Experts estimate that 8,000,000people have been evicted fromCzechoslovakia. Silesia, Brandenburg,Pomerania, Danzig, and East Prussia,”says Reuter’s correspondent in Ber-lin. “The refugees have upset all at-tempts to get Germany’s food problemon a workable basis. They arerapidly spreading disease, particularlydysentery, typhoid, and typhus.

“Refugees from the east, who re-ceived one night's shelter in Berlinbefore being sent elsewhere, betweenJuly 1 and August 15, totalled 874,986.Reports from Saxony state that ap-proximately 4,000,000 refugees havearrived there. Saxony’s normal popu-lation is about 5,000,000. More than2.000,000 more are drifting throughoutthe country north-east of Berlin.

“There is a complete lack of Ger-man or inter-Allied organisation todeal with the problem. The provin-cial authorities are ordering burgo-masters to take in refugees equal innumber to the normal inhabitants, butthe towns are short of food and theyusually send the refugees on theirway. Reports indicate that tens ofthousands of persons are still beingevicted.

“Roughly 25 per cent, of the refu-gees who-are wanting to reach rela-tives in western Germany, drift aim-lessly to the British and Americanzones, hoping that the barrier atpresent preventing their entry may belifted,

“Welfare officials see only one solu-tion of the refugee problem—a cen-tralised organisation with a plan tosettle refugees provisionally accordingto local food resources and labourneeds.”

FOOD RATIONINGIN BRITAIN

EARLY IMPROVEMENTUNLIKELY

LONDON, August 21.The end of the war* has not

brought to the people of Britain anyprospect of obtaining more food orclothes. The position is much thesame in regard to petrol rationing.

The Minister of Food (Sir BenSmith) has announced substantial re-ductions in the supplies of sugar toluxury industries such as cake mak-ing, confectionery, and ice cream. Thesugar allowance for beer is also cut.There is a shortage of beer in Britainat present, and many hotels frequent-ly have notices outside their bars tothe effect that they have no beer left.The reductions will operate until theend of the year, when a revision willbe undertaken.

It is explained that Britain is ship-ping more than 50,000 tons of sugar toFrance in the next few weeks.

In regard to the petrol ration, it isstated that England is dependent onthe United States for her supplies, anduntil the position regarding largersupplies is cleared up, the rationingwill have to continue.

NEW BISHOP OFLONDON

PROTEST AGAINSTELECTION

(Rec. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. August 21.The National Union of Protestants is

opposing the confirmation to-morrowof the Rt. Rev. J. W. C. Wand as Bishopof London.

The union, in a protest to the vicar-general of the diocese, alleges that, “asan extreme Anglo-Catholic, Dr. Wandis not a fit and proper person for the

position, and that his religion is not areligion of the Church of England asestablished by law.”

The protest adds: “Dr. Wand failedto carry out his declaration, in hisformer diocese of Bath and Wells, thathe would banish all erroneous andstrange doctrines which are contrary tothe Church of England. Although Dr.Wand is prepared to give a similarundertaking when he is enthroned asBishop of London, there is no reasonto expect that he will be more faithfulto such a promise than he was in hisformer diocese.”

It was announced in June that Dr.Wand had been nominated for electionby the Dean and Chapter of London asBishop of London in place of the MostRev. the Rt. Hon. G. F. Fisher, nowArchbishop of Canterbury.

Dr. Wand, who was born in 1885, wasfellow, dean, and tutor at Oriel Col-lege, Oxford, from 1925 to 1934, whenhe was appointed Archbishop of Bris-bane and Metropolitan of Queensland.Two years ago he returned to Englandto become Bishop of Bath and Wells.He has written a number of books ontheology and Church history.

FINANCIAL POLICYIN BRITAIN

Commons Told of PlansFor Bank of England

HOPES OF TAX RELIEFNOT ENCOURAGED

(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)

(Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, August 21.The Government’s proposals for the Bank of England

would have the effect of bringing the law in line with the factsof the situation as they had developed, said the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer (Dr. Hugh Dalton) in the House of Commons.There had long been a close and friendly relationship hcl'veenthe Bank and Treasury officials which would, of course, con-tinue.

Private stockholders would disappear from the scene,carrying with them fair compensation. This would makeabundantly clear that Government ownership carried with itin the ultimate resort the power of direction and decision.

It must be made clear beyond a shadow of doubt thatwhere ultimate power lay it mqst rest—not with the stock-holders, though they seldom exercised it, but with the Govern-ment, which was responsible to the House of Commons. andthrough it to the people, who had suffered grievously in thepast from unwise decisions taken on the advice of persons as-sociated with the Bank of England.

Dr. Dalton said he would introduce another Budget in theautumn, hut warned against extravagant hopes of tax relief.Britain’s financial path, he said, would be “hard and stonyfor some years. .

. J ..u u* T* mfondod fnflf trusrp snnitlnIt was not intended that there shouldbe constant governmental interferencewith the day by day working of theBank of England, said Dr. Dalton.There would cpntinue to be daily con-tact and an exchange of views be-tween the bank and Treasury officials,but on important issues the Govern-ment must have the last word.

Dr. Dalton paid a tribute to LordCatto, the governor of the ban';, whomhe described as a great public servantand a man of wide commercial experi-ence. Lord Catto had expressed hiswillingness to continue as governorfor a suitable period in order to in-augurate the new regime.

Dr. Dalton said that the changes mthe bank's legal position would in noway lessen its esteem at home orabroad. On the contrary, the Govern-ment’s hope and belief wts that theclose integration of the Bank of Eng-land with the Government and thepassing of the private stockholder,whowas either a menace or an absurd-ity, would increase rather than dim-inish its influence.

Referring to interest, Dr. Dalton saidthat the Government mr’st borrow ascheaply as possible, and it intended tocontinue the money policy which hadbeen pursued for some time. He wasalready consulting Treasury and Bankof England experts.

The stage, meanwhile, was set forthe next great savings drive. Increas-ing purchasing power would result infrustration unless there were increasedsupplies, and while supplies werenecessarily short, a large part of thenational income should go into sav-

-1D“l' take the view that British creditis a national, not a party matter.” saidDr. Dalton. “We must avoid the dan-gers of inflation and also those of de-flation, and if we are going to avoidinflation we must rigorously maintainpripe control, which was one t of thewar’s administrative successes.”

Dr. Dalton announced his intentionto introduce another Budget in theautnmn. This was indispensable, be-cause of the tremendous changes mthe last few months. “It is essentialthat we consider the whole field cov-ered by the Budget, both in revenueand. expenditure,” he said. “I warnthe public against harbouring extrava-gant expectations of tax relief.

‘There are some very grave finan-cial problems to be examined in theautumn, and in the years ahead thefinancial path is not going to be easy.On the contrary, for some years itwillbe hard and stony; but I am sure wewill have confidence in the eventualoutcome and willingness to face allawkward situations as we pass along.

“I am sure the House will back theGovernment in approaching thesepro-blems in a coldly realistic spirit, baCK-ed by idealistic purpose. We must notexpect to find Utopia round the cor-ner but there is no reason why weshould not proceed as rapidly as pos-Si

Mr Oliver Lyttelton (Conservative)said he was sure the Governmentwould fight the evils of inflation to thebest of its ability. This was more thanever necessary when the, Governmentwas proposing to fiddle with the con-stitution of the Bank of England, andwhen a slightly shocked public rawthe Old Lady of Threadneedle Streetwho had long been living in chastespinsterhood, now being burned to thealtar and married out of hand by aGovernment of three weeks standing,although it admittedly had a largeelectoral dowry.

TREASURY ANDINDUSTRY

NEWSPAPER’S VIEW“ CAPITAL MUST BE MADE

AVAILABLE ”

RUGBY, August 21.“The part the Treasury must play

in getting industry on its feet, espe-cially in reviving our export trades,is of supreme importance,” says the“New’s Chronicle,” commenting on thespeech by the Chancellor of the Ex-chequer (Dr. Hugh Dalton). “Pricesmust be kept on an even keel, andnational savings must be maintained.At the same time capital must be madeavailable as freely and quickly as pos-sible.

“Manufacturers anxious to play apart in post-war industry will not beable to formulate plans until theyknow whether some sort of nationalinvestment board is to be set up, whatits machinery will be, and by whatprinciples it will be actuated. HieGovernment’s intention is a soundone, but the machinery set up mustwork expeditiously and be guided byintelligible principles.”

The “Daily Telegraph” takes theview that Dr. Dalton’s speech did notthrow much light on the Government'sintentions. “They have evidentlyeither not yet made up their mindsor find it inconvenient at present tosay what they think,” it says. "On themaintenance of creditand cheap money,and on keeping to the middle path bet-tween inflation and deflation, Dr. Dal-ton talked the same sound sense aswe were wont to hear from his pre-decessor, Sir John Anderson.”

The “Daily Herald” comments thatthere seems to be little agreement be-tween Mr Churchill and Mr OliverLyttelton on the subject of nationali-sation of the Bank of England. “Lastweek Mr Churchill was suggesting thatnationalisation of the bank was a Pro-ject of such negligible ‘importah'ce fHatit was not worth undertaking,” itsays. “To prove that the idea wascertainly not revolutionary, he citedthe example of other countries wherethe central bank was already underpublic, ownership. Mr Lyttelton, aTory financial expert, based his at-tack on the unwisdom and perils ofthe new measure. The Chancellor ofthe Exchequer was able to enlightenMr Churchill on the permanent natureof the plans which Labour proposesto introduce for the control of invest-ment; ‘New investment must continueto be guided in peace, as in war, byconsiderations of national interest. Wecannot be sure that this will be so ifthere is a return to the disorderlyscramble for money which took placebefore the war and drove up the ratesof interest to a height very disadvan-tageous''to thosd who had to borrowmoney.’ ”

The “Daily Express” disagrees withDr. Dalton’s pessimism about tax re-lief. “There ought to be, and therecan be, 4ax relief,” it says. “The waragainst Japan has come to an endmonths before anybody could havereasonably expected. The Budget inMarch gave hopes of relief, eventhough the Government was facing a

■ whole year at least of war expendi-ture. Now the nation has the goodfortune to be encompassed by peacebefore five months of the financialyear have elapsed. Yet we are warnednot to expect too much—if anything.”

The "Daily Mail” urges the votingof a substantial sum for the" develop-ment and exploitation of atomicenergy in Britain, in full co-operationwith the United States and Canada, toensure that it is used for the benefitof humanity.

“The Times” comments that Dr. Dal-ton’s intentions for the Bank of Eng-land are more in the nature of a pre-cautionary measure, but it feels thaton the subject of the control of in-vestment the Chancellor was lessspecific and less reassuring. "TheTimes” considers that Dr. Dalton sug-gested that Laboift opinion was stillfar too much concerned with the pre-vention of “wasteful” investment pro-jects, and far too little with the pro-vision of incentives and opportunitiesfor fruitful ventures.

The Commonwealth Coal Commis-sioner (Mr N. R. Mighell) said thecoal position was going from bad tpworse, and between now and Christ-mas industry generally would have tobe curtailed.

Mr Mighell, in saying that the hous-ing programme depended largely onan ample supply of coal, added:“Doubtless the housing authorities willdetermine whether building materials,already in short supply, are to bemade available to build new and bet-ter bathrooms for the miners, orwhether the same materials are to beused to build houses for people whohave neither houses nor bathrooms.”

The strike at the Rhondda collieryis over a demand for a now bathroom,which is nearly completed.

BRITISH-U.S.RELATIONS

FORMER MINISTER’SCONCERN

(Rec. 7 p.m.) , LONDON, August ».

Mr Oliver Lyttelton, who was Minis-ter of Production in the CoalitionGovernment, speaking during the Ad-dress-in-Beply debate, criticised theGovernment for the omission from theKing’s speech of reference to the Gov-ernment’s attitude towards economiccollaboration with other countries,particularly the United States

He said the standard of life of everycitizen of Britain, and of nearlycitizen throughout the Empire and theCommonwealth, was bound to fallwithout sympathetic help and a large

measure of financial aid from theUnited States. He called for a state-ment showing the food and raw'materials supplied without paymentunder lend-lease, and the proportionthe'- bore to total consumption.“If you wish to obtain assistance

from the United States you must becareful about the nasty thingsyoa sayabout private enterprise. That willaffront American opinion.” he said.“Professor Laski’s remarks are treatedseriously in the United States."

Mr Lyttelton added that Labourpolicy concentrated too much on thedomestic view. Britain, if she wereto maintain her standard of life, hadto rebuild her position as a carrier,banker, and produce merchants’ clear-ing-house. The present organisationof the Department of Overseas Tradein re’ation to the Board of Trade wasanomalous. There could not be exportpolicy in one compartment and tradepolicy for home markets in another.

BUILDING PLANSFOR HOSPITALSREPORT PRESENTED

TO BOARD

ARCHITECT’S RESIGNATIONACCEPTED

"Immediately after the last meetingof the board, when the proposals of thebuilding committee were adopted, aspecial meeting of the committee washeld, and Mr A. H. Manson was ap-pointed to carry out the architectualwork involved in the building of theproposed hospital at Cashmere and thereconstruction of the ChristchurchHospital,” stated a report presented bythe building committee at a meetingof the North Canterbury HospitalBoard yesterday,

"The local branch of the Institute ofArchitects has been advised accord-ingly, and in reply to the communica-tion has congratulated the board on thedecision made,

"Mr Manson has accepted the board’scommission, and will be commencinghis work in the immediate future. Hehas outlined his proposals so far ascharges and allocation of work are con-cerned. and his letter in connexiontherewith will be placed before theboard for adoption. In view of the de-cision made, it was decided that Mr S.W. Minson’s work on the hospital re-building scheme should cease at once,and that work in his department shouldbe confined to duties unconnected withhospital reconstruction.

“Mr Minson has, following this de-cision, tendered his resignation, whichwill date from November 8, from whichtime Mr S. T. Townsend will assumecontrol of the department.

"The committee is now consideringmedical and other proposals concernedwith the Cashmere Hospital, and in thenear future it will have the report ofthe board's consulting engineer rela-tive to the suggested all-electric hos-pital.”

Discussion of Mr Manson’s letter tothe board was taxen in committee.

The building committee reportedthat the contract for the laundry at theChristchurch Hospital was progressingslowly, and it was improbable that thetransfer of work to the new premisescould be made by September 1, as hadbeen hoped. However, everythingpossible was being done to expedite thecompletion of the new building.

Other Building ProjectsOn the building committee’s recom-

mendation, the board accepted the ten-der of Messrs K. G. McCaw, Ltd., for£llll 10s, for reading at the newlaundry.

"The board's architect hopes to callfor tenders for the new theatre blockat the Christchurch Hospital during thenext few weeks.” stated the commit-tee’s report. The new water tanks atthe Christchurch Hospital are now be-ing erected, and after their completion,the present tank-stand will be de-molished. At the Burwood Hospital,the contract for the plastic unit is pro-ceeding well, and the ground floor ispractically completed. Work on thenew ward block is under way, but badweather has delayed construction. Workon the new garage block is beingpushed on.

“The Kaikoura Hospital contract con-tinues to proceed slowly, and its com-pletion is being delayed because of in-sufficient building staff. Work is nowfiroceeding on the timber framing of

he building.“Consideration is now being given to

the building work provided for in thecurrent year’s proposals,' particularlywards 1, 2, and 3 and the orthopaedicdepartment at the Christchurch Hos-pital. Other items in the capital pro-gramme, as well as the proposed workat the Cashmere Sanatorium, will re-ceive consideration as early as pos-sible.”

The committee’s report was adopted,and Mr Minson’s resignation from theposition of architect to the board wasaccepted.

LAST OF ARMYHARVESTING

POTATO CROPS BEINGLIFTED

MEN ATTRACTED BYCOUNTRY LIFE

Potato picking by the limited num-ber of Army men available is ex-pected to end in five or six weeks.It will be the end of Army assistancelor harvesting, and next season farm-ers will have to depend on their ownlabour. First priorities in the de-mobilisation of men of the 16th Rein-forcements were farm workers; butthe unavailability of soldiers fromearly in 1946 for harvesting is ex-pected to present a manpower problemon farms.

Crops harvested by the Army thisyear were hay, small seeds, wheat,oats, hops, tobacco, fruit, onions, pota-toes, vegetables, and linen flax. Thelist is added to by the harvesting nowof chicory in Canterbury and SouthOtago. Potato digging had been badlydelayed by wet yveather; but with theexpected improvement the lifting ofthe remaining marketable potato cropwill probably be completed by the endof September.

“This has been a most difficult year,because of the weather and the short-age of men, the harvesters having tobe supplemented by drafts from theNorthern and Central Military Dis-tricts and 600 men from the RoyalNew Zealand Air Force,” said MajorT. A. S. McKenzie, of Southern Mili-tary Headquarters, who has been incharge of harvesting. “Many of the menfrom the North Island had their firstopportunity of visiting the South Is-land, and during week-end leave theymade a point of seeing new country.Many friendships were made, and ifthe banter common among the men isto believed, a number will return laterto claim brides.”

The work at times had been hard,but, in the main, the men claimed tohave enjoyed it, said Major McKenzie.The harvesting scheme provided anumber of men with their first ac-quaintance of country life, which, tothem, had been confined to one-daypicnics. The number of city men inthe Army who had taken a keen in-terest in farming was surprising, andmany had said that after demobilisa-tion they intended to consider seri-ously taking up farming as a career.

Big tonnages of crops were har-vested. By the end of April, when theseason was only partly completed,28,000 tons of potatoes had been liftedby the Army harvesters. They hadalso handled 600 tons of onions.

Thedeputation will urge the introductionof regulations making it compulsorythat all calves be slaughtered at theworks nearest to the point of collec-tion.

LOCAL BODIES’PLANS

�EARLIER START ON

BIG WORKS

LACK OF FINANCE FORCURRENT YEAR

The end of the war against Japanmonths, if not years, before it wasgenerally expected, brings into immedi-ate prospects the initiation of worksprogrammes that have hitherto beenregarded as something for the indefinitefuture. The sudden end of hostilitieswill mean an almost immediate easingof the labour situation in New Zealand,and an improvement in the supply ofmaterials is expected to follow veryshortly.

The situation, welcome though it isto public bodies and private organisa-tions, is not without embarrassment forthe former. Local bodies have alreadyframed their works programmes forthe year—and struck rates—on the as-sumption that war conditions wouldprevail for at least the greater part ofthe present financial year. Many ofthem may soon find themselves withmen and materials available to carryout important works but with no pro-vision to finance them. The Christ-church City Council, for instance, hasbeen waiting anxiously for labour andmaterials to become available to over-take arrears of maintenance and con-struction under its reading programme.

“No Opportunity Lost”The City Engineer (Mr E. Somers)

told a reporter of “The Press” yester-day that it now seemed likely that bothlabour and materials would be avail-able next summer to a degree not con-sidered possible when the estimates forthe year were being framed. However,the City Council had means of financ-ing unforeseen expenditure that wouldnot be open to all local bodies, and hewas confident that no opportunity totake advantage of the changing situa-tion would be lost.

A winter of extraordinary severity,coming after several years in which ithad been impossible to maintain roadsadequately, had caused incalculabledamage, said Mr Somers., The councilwas doing all it could with the re-sources available to overtake thearrears; but obviously the earliest pos-sible start must be made with a large-scale programme of repairs and recon-struction. Delay would progressivelyincrease the ultimate cost.

Mr Somers jocularly suggested thatattention to roads in Christchurch fellinto three orders of priority—urgent,very urgent, and most urgent. Therewere, however, other large workswhich it was recognised should be pro-ceeded with as soon as possible. In 1943,the Government called for lists ofworks suitable for rehabilitation, andthe Christchurch City Council, in sub-mitting its list, expressed the opinionthat all the works named were advan-tageous to the district, some werenecessary in the near future, and thatthe acceleration of all was desirable.

City Coiuicil’s ProjectsThese works included the Tunnel

road, alternative access routes to thecity from south and north, a roadingreconstruction programme costing be-tween £400,000 and £500,000, the re-placement of several bridges, improve-ments to the water supply (including anew reservoir and trunk mains andthe reticulation of New Brighton) anda sewerage system for New Brighton.

Theworks programmes of local bodieswould be a factor in restoring normalemployment, said Mr Somers. It wouldbe a pity if smaller local bodies wereunable to take advantage of the im-proved labour and material situationfor lack of financial provision in thepresent year’s estimates. It might befound desirable, from the point of viewof public amenity and of rehabilitation,to give local bodies legislative author-ity, in such circumstances, to over-spend their estimates.

FAMOUS PILOTHONOURED

WING COMMANDERCOLIN GRAY

BATTLE OF BRITAINRECALLED

(P.A.). GISBORNE, August 22.Gisborne paid tribute to-day at a

civic reception to its greatest hero ofthis war, who is also New Zealand’smost successful fighter pilot, WingCommander Colin Gray, D.5.0., D.F.C.and two Bars, R.A.F., who is homeon a short leave.

The Mayor, Mr N. H. Bull, tracedthe exploits of Wing Commander Gray-in shooting down 27i enemy aircraft.He paid a tribute to the splendid ser-vices of Wing Commander Gray andall other members of the Air Force.He expressed condolence with WingCommander Gray in the death in ac-tion of his twin brother. Flying Offi-cer Kenneth Gray, D.F.C., Czech War

In acknowledging the welcome, WingCommander Gray said the Battle ofBritain would never perish from hismind, though it was now growingdim. “It was a tough time,” he said,“and there were not many of us.’’The British possessed 40 squadrons of12 planes each. The Germans wereexperienced in combat in Spain, Po-land and the Lowlands, but the R.A.F.was not battle tested. The Britishwon,' partly because of the pilots, butparticularly because the Spitfire was20 to 30 miles an hour faster than theMesserschmitt.

Before going into combat fighterpilots were generally frightened, butthe feeling did not last long. A pilothad no feeling save to shoot down theopposing aircraft, without thought ofthe man inside it.

Wing Commander Gray had a grand-stand view of the invasion of Francewhile leading patrols. There wereliterally thousands of aircraft over thebeachhead. Naval shells from the bom-barding ships reached an altitude of4000ft several miles inland. ,

He described the VI as particularlyhorrid, flying at 380 miles an hour, asfast as an aircraft could go, and diffi-cult to catch unless one had the ad-vantage of height. Anti-aircraft gunsgenerally hit three out of five Vi’s,half of which exploded in the air,which was spectacular at night. TheV2 could not be heard approaching,and explosions followed a prolongedrumble. The Germans had a lot uptheir sleeves, he declared, includingrocket guns capable of shelling Lon-don at a terrific rate. He added matif the war had dragged on muchlonger it might have been a differentstory.

(P.A.) AUCKLAND, August 22.“Surely one of the most important

instruments for peace, as it has beenfor war, is this great community ofnations and peoples, known collec-tively as the British Commonwealthand Empire,” said Sir Patrick Duff, thenewHigh Commissioner for the UnitedKingdom in New Zealand, whenthanking representatives of the citi-zens of Auckland for the welcomegiven him at a Mayoral reception inthe Town Hall Council Chamber.

Sir Patrick and Lady Duff, who arepaying their first official visit to Auck-land, were officilaly theMayor (Mr J. A. C. Allum), who re-ferred appreciatively to their long re-cords of service to England and theEmpire.

“One of the chief beacons of hopewhich illumine the darkness andgloom of the war’s aftermath is thatthe majestic, vast, and benevolentmight of the United States of America,which has played so signal a part insaving mankind, is pledged to sharewith the British Empire and the otherUnited Nations in maintaining peaceon a firm and, we must hope, a last-ing basis,” said Sir Patrick Duff. “Theother greai hope is that if the BritishEmpire stands together as she standsto-day, no limit can be set to whatwe can accomplish in collaborationwith all countries of goodwill in helpto mankind.”

PREPARING FOODIN HOSPITALS

“ ALMOST A NIGHTMARE ”

LACK OF DOMESTIC STAFF

(P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 22.Addressing the annual conference of

the New Zealand Dietetic AssociationMiss M. B. McKenzie, head dietitian atthe Wellington Hospital and presidentof the association, said that throughlack of domestic staff (he preparation,of food for patients had been almost a'nightmare. Unless something was doneto relieve the domestic staff situationthe future was not hopeful.

Miss M. I. Lambie, director of thenursing division of the Department ofHealth, suggested a conference amongdietitians, the nursing staff, and theunions concerned to try to reach a plan.Any conclusions on the subject fromsuch a conference would be received byher department with much interest.With increasing industrialisation shecould not see the prospect of reliefnumerically.

The direction for work in hospitalshad not been satisfactory. It was muchbetter to have voluntary labour. Shesuggested a scheme which might in-clude a period of training in hospitalsfor, say, six months, but for this ‘itwould be necessary to have the co-operation and .support of the HospitalBoard.

Miss McKenzie paid a tribute to thesmall band of willing workers who hadassisted, some of them for five to sevenyears, but said there must be a perma-nent staff, not only permanent butskilled.

RATIONING CASE*

TWO INSPECTORSDISMISSED

STATEMENT BY MINISTER(From Our Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, August 22Two rationing inspectors have been

dismissed as the result of an inquiryby the Public Service Commissionerinto evidence about the taking otbribes given during a trial at Auck-land. This information was given Dythe Minister of Supply (the Hon. D.G. Sullivan) when he made a state-ment in the House of Representativesto-day. , . ,

Mr Sullivan"said he had received areport from the Public Service Com-missioner which stated that, after fullinvestigation, the commissioner wassatisfied that; .

(1) No instruction was given by theFood Controller or by any authorita-tive person that bribes were to be ac-cepted in any circumstances.

(2) No .official approval of any sug-gestion for the practice of takingbribes and paying them into the publicaccount was given or implied.

(3) At the conference in May, theFood and Rationing Controller gave aclear warning to all inspectors that abribe had been offered in one case,and that bribes must not be accepted.

(4) New members of the staff werewarned that they must resist any sug-gestion of bribes. .

(5) Some inspectors had discussedamong themselves the value, as evi-dence of guilt, of being able to provethat a bribe had been offered, and oneman suggested that proof would beavailable if a bribe were paid into

the public account. .(6) The same point wasraised m infor-

mal discussion among inspectors atAuckland, but there was no agreementthat thetaking of bribes and the payingof them into the public account shouldbe adopted.

The taking of bribes in any circum-stances whatever was entirely contraryto the ethical standards expected ofall public servants in dealings withthe public. It was admitted that Lock-erv and Harvey did in fact take money,from whatever motive. They had beenwarned that they must not takemoney, and the commissioner regardedthem as having, by their action, showntheir unfitness to remain in the publicservice. Therefore their employmenthad been terminated.

Mr A. S.‘ Sutherland (Opposition,Hauraki): That evidence should havebeen available to the Court.

Mr W. A. Sheat (Opposition, Patea).

Will there be a prosecution for per-jury?

TRAINING BOYSFOR THE SEAFACILITIES IN NEW

ZEALANDGOVERNMENT’S PLANS


Facilities provided or contemplatedbv the Government for training NewZealand boys for a seafaring careerwere briefly reviewed by thsMinisterof Marine (the Hon. J. O Bnen) inthe House of Representatives to-day.

He said 12 lads were continubusly em-ployed as apprentices on the barquePamir, receiving beneficial training.

Replying to a question asked by MrClyde Carr (Government, Timaru), MrO’Brien said the Government waskeenly interested in the provision offacilities for training New Zealandboys for the seafaring profession. Aschool of navigation at Auckland, pre-viously operated by Captain W. J.Keane, was taken over and had beencarried on for some little time by theMarine Department, and the numberof students offering had already neces-sitated the appointment of an ad-ditional tutor. Consideration was beinggiven to an extension to correspond-ence courses, evening classes, and pre-vocational training as opportunityoffered. .

, , a*The curriculum of school was de-signed mainly for seamen who desiredto pass into officered rank, or low-grade officers who desired to improvetheir status.

Referring to younger lads whowished to go to sea, Mr O’Brien saidconsideration was being given to theprovision of a certain amount of nau-tical training in technical colleges, andthe provision of land camps for pro-vocations! training, and also somemeans of training these lads in actualseafaring experience.

CLOTHES COLLECTEDFOR EUROPE

—«—

VALUE PUT AT £250,000(P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 22.

More than £250,000 is the estimatedworth of second-hand garments con-tributed throughout New Zealand forshipment to Europe. Clothes are stillarriving at the depots, and much sort-ing and packing have to be done yet.

There are 2785 cases and bales packedand ready for shipment, 900 being atWellington, 185 at Lyttelton, and 1700at Auckland.

It is estimated that in Wellingtonthere are enough clothes on hand tofill another 600 cases. The averageweight of the contents of cases is 2001b,and the average weight of the contentsof a bale is 3501b to 4001b. More than500,0001b of clothing has been packed,and the estimate of £250,000 as itsvalue is based on the supposition thatthe average value of a garment is 10s.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

Inquirer.—Write to the Under-Secretaryof the Internal Affairs Department,Wellington.

Nonplussed.—Consult a solicitor.

UNRRA AND WOOLSir,—ls it true that UNRRA is un-

able to obtain supplies of wool andclothing—hence the drive to collectclothes from door to door, good in itsway, but a decidedly inadequate meansof meeting the situation? I understandthat large quantities of wool are be-ing held in New Zealand, having beenbought by the British Government forfuture use. At the present moment thevictims of bombing raids in Europe arefacing a winter withhopelessly insuffi-cient supplies of food and clothing.Could not our Government relieve Bri-tain of the need for paying for thesesurplus stocks and send them imme-diately to needy Europe to be made upinto clothes by the people themselves,or else in factories by machines sup-plied by Britain and America? Thesituation is desperate, and we musturge our Government to act imme-diately to save Europe from furtherunspeakable horror.—Yours, etc.,

W.M.Y.vi August 6, 1945.

[When this letter was referred to offi-cial quarters it was stated that, al-though UNRRA can obtain adequatesupplies of wool, there are insufficientproductive facilities available either informerly-occupied countries or in Bri-tain and America to manufacture thelarge quantities of clothing required tomeet the needs in Europe during thecoming winter, hence the necessity forthe present clothing drive. The possi-bility of disposing of New Zealandswool to UNRRA has not been lost sightof and it can be expected that a state-ment about this will be made at anearly date.]

REVISED BUDGETSir,—An examination of the Finance

Minister’s revised Budget reveals,among other things, the omission of asmall item of £70,000,000, the stockbook value (according to the Ministerof Defence) of the war stores, etc.,held by his department and nowavailable for disposal. Can you ex-plain?—Yours, etc.,

...TTP. H. HOWELL.August 22, 1945.

ADULT EDUCATIONSir,—l trust that the Consultative

Committee on Adult Education, nowsitting in Christchurch, will consider,among other things, adult education forshift workers who are unable to at-tend evening classes, through no faultof their own.—Yours, etc.,

E. CULVERHOUSE.August 21, 1945.

FIRST MAORI CONSTABLESir,—ln your coluirins appears the

statement that at Gisborne the firstfull-blooded Maori was enrolled in theregular Police Force—a precedent for 1New Zealand, as different from thenative constables of the native settle-ments. It may interest your readersto know, however, that the first fml-blooded Maori sworn in to a regularpolice area was Constable Tahaua atLyttelton on May 7, 1855 (to the Can-terbury Provincial Government Police).—Yours, etc.,

„

W. A. TAYLOR.August 22, 1945.

RACE TRAFFICSir,—By your report the Tramway

Board is making arrangements for aconference over the rush on race daysand how to deal with it. The openingup of the Blenheim road and a one-way system for all traffic other thanthe trams is one way that the Riccarton

race traffic can be easily controlled.—Yours, etc.,

OPEN THE NEW ROAD.August 22, 1945.

CHEVIOT COUNTY ROADSSir,—During the recent snow and

flood storms the Cheviot highway mendid a wonderful job clearing the roads.But what about the Cheviot CountyCouncil? Is it afraid to dirty its grader,as it sat in the yard all through thestorms, while ratepayers, who are en-titled to the use of such a machine,are digging their way out.—Yours, etc..

DISGUSTED RATEPAYER.Cheviot, August 10, 1945.[The acting-county clerk of the

Cheviot County Council says: “As theletter is anonymous, the council has nocomment to make; but .should yourcorrespondent care to write direct tothe council the required informationwill be given.”]

A WORKER’S HOLIDAYSir,—My son, being in the one posi-

tion for over 12 months, recentlytook ill with a cold (seasonal). Whenhe was home sick for a week hisemployer came and told him to havea further week and so called the sickweek and one extra his holiday.Is this the right procedure? Whatare the standard wages of an all-round farm hand?—Yours, etc.,

MOTHER OF FIVE SONS.August 20, 1945.[The officer in charge of the Depart-

■ment of Labour, Christchurch (Mr S.E. McGregor), says: “Undar the Agri-cultural Workers’ Extension Order,1942, applying to workers employedon sheep or agricultural farms, deduc-tions may be made from the weeklywage for time lost by the workerthrough sickness. Since holidays of atotal of 18 days for each 12 months’service are required to be given atthe convenience of the employer, itwould appear that the arrangementmade is not illegal. The standard wageof all-round farm hands varies accord-ing to the district, but the minimumwage at present is £3 15s a week, plusboard and lodging to adult maleworkers.”]

The hospital ship Maunganui, whichhas been attached to the British Paci-fic Fleet, will be used as soon as cir-cumstances permit to evacuate NewZealand and Australian prisoners ofwar and interned civilians from theFar East to their home countries.News that the Government of NewZealand had made this arrangementwas given this evening by the Ministerof Defence (the Hon. F. Jones).

The Minister said a contact team ofan officer and two warrant officers wasbeing sent to headquarters of theSouth-east Asia Command to joiij therecovered Allied prisoners of war andinternees’ control staff which had beenset up at Admiral Mountbatten’sheadquarters. The duties of this teamwould be to go into recovered terri-tory to assist in the preparation ofdocuments concerning New Zealand-ers, to report their discovery and theirphysical condition to New Zealand,and to make the necessary arrange-ments for their repatriation to NewZealand with the least possible delay.

Referring to his previous announce-ment that R.N.Z.A.F. aircraft were totake limited quantities of medical sup-plies, comforts, and clothing to Singa-pore, and to bring out New Zealanderson the return flight, Mr Jones saidthese aircraft were to carry up to thelimit of their capacity, so that theevacuation should be finished as soonas practicable. The aircraft were com-fortably fitted to carry wounded andsick personnel if necessary.
