A LECTURE ON JAPANBIBLE TRAINING INSTITUTE

The old Pentecostal Hall, Vivian street,was again filled last night to hear Mr.R. A. Laidlaw, of Auckland, give his illus-trated travelogue on Japan, which hevisited last year.

"Census returns," said Mr. Laidlaw,"give Japan as having 47,000,000 Buddhists,17,000,000 Shintoists, and 220,000 Christ-ians. The university returns, however,show that no less than il per cent, of theenrolled students sign themselves asChristian." The speaker said that al-though Japan was only half as big againas New Zealand, its present population is04,000,000, which at the natural rate ofincrease promises to be 100,000,000 withinthirty years. Only one-eighth of Japancan be cultivated, in which respect it dif-fers greatly from New Zealand.

"One needs to visit Japan," said thelecturer, "to realise that the Gospel is nota European Gospel, but is for all peoples."Commissioner Yamamora, oi the SalvationArmy, was one of-the notable ChristiansMr. Laidlaw met, the Army having 16,000followers, in Japan. The Central JapanPioneer Mission was another Christian or-ganisation that Mr. Laidlaw praised mosthighly. He also met Canon Murray, anevangelical Anglican, who is doing a won-derful work by advertising the Gospel inthe daily newspapers. He receives thou-sands of requests for lite'.'ature and manyinquiries about the New Life.

The moving pictures taken by Mr. Laid-law were of great interest, showing thescenery, cities, temple worship, indus-tries, railways, and other features of thiswonderful little land.

Officers from the Japanese warshipswere present and received a warm ova-tion. Commissioner Cunningham, o£ theSalvation Army,also attended and led themeeting in prayer. Mr. G. 1\ Vance occu-pied the chajv.

To-night at 7.30 the speakers will be Mr.J. O. Sanders, giving a lantern leetuye onthe work of the New ZealandBible Train-ing Institute, to be followed by Mr. H.Yolland, who will use a large chart inspeaking on "Twin Centres of the Pro-phetic Word." The Intensive Bible Schoolcommenced yesterday afternoon at 3o'clock is to be continued to-morrow after-noon, when the Rev. Joseph TV.Kemp willbe the leader. Thi9 interdenominationalseries of meetings is attracting " peoplefrom nearly all the churches as well as thepublic generally.

HOCKEY

REFEREES COMPLAIN

TONE OF A LETTER

Whether it is permissible in certaincases for one referee to control a gamewas a point discussed at last night's meet-ing of the Wellington Hockey Association.

The Wellington Referees' Associationwrote, taking exception to the tone of aletter from the committee instructing thatMr. H. Hatch should be allowed to con-trol games on his own.

Dr. A. F. Hickey said he was old-fash-ioned enough to believe that it was theplayers who should be considered. Ifthey wished to have a certain referee fortheir games well and good.

Mr. McDonnell considered that the mat-tor should be referred back to the clubs.

Mr. J. C. Cusack.who, with Mr. White,represented the Referees' Association, saidhis association considered the committee'sletter uncalled for. Last year a similarrequest had been received "and as far aspossible it had been carried out. TheReferees' Association did not take excep-tion to the request, but simply to theword "instruct" contained in the letter.TheReferees' Association had been in ex-istence since 1904, and this was the firstoccasion that such a letter had been re-ceived.

In reply to the chairman (Mr. S. B.Brown), Mr. Cusack said that the Re-ferees Association was only too pleasedto give Mr. Hatch sole control of a game.Satisfactory arrangements had been made.The chairman expressed satisfaction thatsome arrangement had been made and thematter dropped. 'The following were appointed a com-mittee to control the five a-side tourna-ment to be held on King's Birthday:—Messrs. P. Spiers, L. J. Macalister, and S.JJ. Brown. The tournament begins at11.30 a.m.

Auckland Hockey Association noti-fied that an unfinancial member of an|Auckland club was playing in Wellington,Kind the chairman reported that the ne-icessary action had been taken.It was reported that a member o£ the| Wadestown Club had been ordered offlast Saturday for questioning the re-ferees ruling. A member of the com-mittee who witnessed the incident statedthat many 0£ the Wadestown playersseemed rather vague about the obstruc-tion rule, and it was decided that instruc-tions be given on this point. The playerconcerned was reprimanded.The Wellington Club was granted per-mission to send a team to a five a-sidetournament at Feilding. Any similar, re-quests are to be granted.Mr. Simpson, of the Schools' Associa-tion, reported that there would be Hteams in the school competition this sea-son, and application was made for 36 hoc-

r£ J: 7 The re(Juesfc was granted.Dr. Hickey and^Mr. H. Hatch were ap-mireiMlae^ for the A grade- game,Wellington v. Combined Universities, onSaturday nest, and it was decided to asktor nominations for referees for the Wel-lington B v. Combined Universities' game

NO INTER-ISLAND GAME(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

TI , CHKISTCHURCH, This Day.Zealand Hockey Association decided, inview.ot the Australian tour, that no inter-

Island hockey match he held this season. IRegarding the Australian tour, it was1decided to approve of the itinerary sub-mitted, but to suggest that the number ofgames be limited to not more than fifteen.JMr. S. G. Holland was appointed managerof the team, which is to consist of sixteenplayers. J j

THEORY OF MATTERELEMENTS LIMITED

ALL KNOWN BUT TWO

(From "The Post's" Representative)LONDON, 15th March,

Mr. V. V. Narliker, a research studentof Fitz'William House, has shown thatthere can be no more complex chemicalelements than are aheaay known, andneither in the most distant parts of theuniverse nor in the most remote pastor future could there exist any elementwhich cannot be studied on the earth.

His work, published in the currentnumber of "Nature," corrects that ofSir Arthur Eddington, his Universityprofessor, with Sir Arthur's fullapproval, and upsets the theories ofSir James Jeans on the constitution ofthe stars. Only last week Mr. Narlikerwas awarded the Eayleigh Prizo of theHniversity for his astronomical investi-gations. .

"The previous view, based on SirArthur's work," Mr. Narliker explain-ed to a "Morning Post" correspondent,"was that 137 distinct elements werepossible. My present theory shows thatonly 92 are possible, of which 90—allexcept 85 and 87—are already known."I think this should give a pull toProfessor Eddington's work, since anytheory, if it is to be nsefnl, must includeconstants which mean something and92, the number of possible chemicalelements, is a constant of which thesignificance is at once obvious."Number 92, the radio-active element

uranium, now becomes the most com-plex atom possible. This will affectSir James Jeans's theory of stars, sincehe has assumed the existence of morecomplex and unstable elements, thebreakdown of which -within, the star■would provide a stupendous source oiradiant energy.

"The views of Sir Arthur Eddingtouand Professor Milne, who have oftenengaged with Sir James Jeans intriangular debate, Trill not be affected.Sir Arthur, indeed, assisted me to for-mulate the letterto 'Nature,' in whichIhave indicated the mathematical basisof my conclusions."My work also disposes of the idea

that we shall ever be able to obtainenergy for industrial purposes from thebreakdown of elements Jess stable thanradium and uranium. I think we mustlook to something of the neutron type—a new kind of ultra-penetrating raydiscovered at the Cavendish Labora-tory, Cambridge—some new type ofparticle contained in ordinary matterif we are ever to realise the dream ofobtaining unbounded energy from achemical source."

DUNEDIN'S OPENING DAY

TO-MORROW'S PROSPECTS

The first of. the King's Birthday Meet-ings opens to-morrow, when the DuncdinJockey Club's Winter Meeting will becommenced at Wingatui. This meetingwill be continued on Friday and concludedon Saturday. The fields for the first dayare of useful size, though disappointing inthe steeplechase events. The track, as isusual at Wingatui at this time of theyear, is likely to be on the dead side. Thefirst race starts at 11.45 a.m.The fields aud prospects are:—HACK AND HUNTERS' STEEPLECHASE HAN-

Now Valves lias to give 21b toHeather Lad, who has not raced sinceEaster. Graball has been well spokenof, and his third on Saturday must placehim among the prospects. A likely pairread to be Heather Lad and Valves.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

JOCKEYS' RIDING FEESREDUCTION IN VICTORIA

It would be a. shock .for tlic rider ofthe winner of the Kentucky Derby, of£10,000, i£ the owner-were to pay him only£5, and yet, in the absence of a specialagreement; nothing more can be claimedfor a win in any race under Kentucky rac-ing rules.. A losing mount carries £2.

The fees mentioned are slightly less thanth6se provided for. in England, .where awinning ride carries £5 off—no matterhow gr.Sat the value of a race—and a los-.ing one £3 3s. No five ji- cent, of stakesfor a win oh the flat as in Sydney andMelbourne, or four per cent, as in NewZealand.

In this connection it may bo noted thatin all probability a reduction in the rid-ing fees of jockeys will be decided uponby the Victoria Racing Club in the nearfuture. The point, so far as it concernsjumping events, has heen discussed by thecommittee, which early in the presentmonth adopted the new Australian rulewhich makes for a minimum of £2 for alosing mount in a hurdle race or steeple-chase. Owners " and' trainers have com-plained. that the cost of running a horsein a jumpingrace is far too heavy, andthat the fees paid to jockeys are excessive.The rule' has been that when the value ofthe prize to the winner of a jumping racedoes not exceed £100, the losing fee shallbe £3; from £100 to £300, £5; and over£300, £10.

NAME FOR ACRE FILLYBee Acre. is. the. name that has been

claimed and allowed for the two-year-oldbrown filly given as an Acre—Deborahfilly in" the acceptances for the KukuMaiden' Race at Otaki. ■ ' ■This filly was bred and is owned by thoWellington sportsman,- Mr. W. Higgms,and is.-trained by J.- P. Coyle at Awa-puni^ She is from,the same Martian mareas Gueress, Guerester, -and Goy, all ofwhom were by Callaghan. She has notbeen/in work for long, so that it is hardlyto be expected that she'will be up tobeating some of the more experiencedhorses in the field. -i

IN MAIDEN AT OTAKI

The name Wild Heather, which appears1in the acceptances for the Kuku MaidenRace at Otaki but was not among thenominations, is the name that has beenallowed for the six-year-old gelding byHeather Mixture from a mare by Black-guard (a half-brother to Bobrikofi), givenin the original entries as Black Heath.The latter name was not granted, and theclaim was altered to the present name*Wild Heather was bred at Otane, HawkesBay, and is now owned [by Mr. C. A.IJoughnan, of Otane, whose colours havebeen registered as lightblue, white sleeves,and brown, cap.

CHANCE IN CORNWALLFew horses at Ellerslie are thriving bet-

ter than Gay Cockade, notes a northernwriter. This Depredation gelding looks ingreat heart; in. fact, he has never beenmore solid than at present. W. J. Haw-kins is giving him a sound preparation,and is very confident that he will run agreat race in the Coruwali Handicap.

Gay Cockade revels in soft going, for itwas under those conditions that he andStandfast dead-heated for second place be-hind- Scatown, in- tho Cornwall twelvemonths ago. This1horse usually races wellon the Ellerslie course, and at his laststart there at Easter finished second toKing's Archer in the A.KiC. President'sHandicap, one mile and a quarter, Awakenbeing third: If he runs up to thatiforniin the Cornwall he will be very hard tobeat. . 'FAST HURDLES LIKELY

Ifone thing is almost certain about theTararua Hack Hurdles at Otaki on Fridayit is that'the race will berun infast time.Patur, Jayson, and Acpra for three shouldsee to that. / . ;,

Pahu has shown recently in his work onthe flat, that he retains, most Of his oldpace, and he jumpsfast too. . He is veryfit af present, and it is unlikely that anyserious attempt will be made to restrainhim on Friday. He is one who shouldassure a fast passage.

Jayson and Acora will bo making then-debut over fences, and if they; do not mullthe fences they should also assist in keep-ing up the pressure. Jayson is a Cuphorse in pace, and Acora is au opensprinter fit to take a place in any ordi-nary sprint field. Reports are to handthat both jump well for novices, and itcan therefore be expected that they willbe assisting in most of the running.

Some of the other tried hurdlers, too,are not devoid of pace. Disrank, at hisbest, is usually among the leaders inhurdle events. Gaswyn, at his one hurdleappearance, was still out in front at Awa-puni last month when ho fell two fencesfrom home. Bon Eve, another compara-tive novice, is speedy enough, too, oncehe settles down. ■ ■HANDICAPPER'S SOLUTION

In connection with the Huia Handicapat Otaki next Friday, it may be interest-ing to contrast the weights that ImperialFame and Eminent will have to carry withthe weights they carried when last theymet. The comparison will favour Emin-ent, but it will not be surprising if Im-perial Fame (if recovered from his recentsoreness) does the better of the pair.

The occasion when they last met was inthe Tauherenikaii Handicap, seven fur-longs, at the Wairarapa Easter Meeting.Eminent was weighted at Bst 71b, and Im-perial Fame at Bst 51b, and the formerwon by a head. Since then Eminentstarted only the once, in' the MastertonCup, in which he was badly kicked atthe post, and Imperial Fame -won andwas second to Tai Ao respectively on thetwo days of the Hawkes Bay Meeting, andwon and was third respectively on the twodays at Masterton, all over six furlongs., Mr. H. Coyle probably had a problemin weighting them at Otaki, but he haadone about the only thing he could insetting Imperial Fame on Sst 41b and Emi-nent on 7st 51b, for-, in spite of Kininent'svictory over Imperial Fame, the latter hasperformed consistently since. It maybe added that, on performances. Eminentcertainly did not look to be in the Waira-rapa handicapper's grace, even grantingthat he did turn up the trump card onthe occasion.

KOWHATU DOING NICELY

According to a Wanganui report, Ko-whatu has gone on the right way sincethe recent Wanganui Meeting, and oneday last week he gave a fine display overthe big fences. He is to be taken to Hast-ings and Napier for the Hawkes Bay andPark Steeplechase events, after wliicb hewill be seen out at Trentham. lie is asplendid jumper, and this should standto him.

THIS WEEK'S MEETINGS

The only racing prior 'to the holiday(Friday) this week will be the opening dayof the Dunedin Jockey Club's WinterMeeting to-morrow. On Friday this meet-ing will be continued, and in addition theGreymouth Jockey Club's Winter Meetingand the opening days of the AucklandRacing Club's Winter Meeting and theOtaki Maori Racing Club's Winter Meet-ing will be held. The Dunedin and Otakimeetings conclude on Saturday, the Auck-land Meeting (which concludes to-morrowweek) will b£ continued, and theT!ccftonJockey Club's Winter Meeting will beheld.

Two trotting meetings will ulso be con-ducted this week, these being the Canter-bury Park Trotting Club's Winter Meet-Ing and the llawkes Bay Trotting Club'sAnnual Meeting on Friday and Saturday.There will, in addition, be two trottingevents each at the Greymouth and Reef-ton meetings.

METROPOLITAN TROTSSTAKES SEVERELY CUT

While stakes at galloping meetings inCanterbury have been undergoing severepruning for the past two years, the NewZealand Metropolitan Trotting Club hasbeen able to maintain its offering at ayery high figure, with relatively verymuch lighter clipping than that forced oilclubs conducting the racing sport. How-ever, the good ;thing could not last forlong aud the Metropolitan Club has nowhad to apply the axe with the sameseverity as racing clubs.,«. approved last week iorthe Metropolitan Club's August Meetingshows a drop in stake money of over 40per cent, compared with the total sumottered twelve months ago, the stakes fortj'?(,."rce days' meeting .amounting to£0900, as against £10,300 last year. Everyrace has had to bear a share of the sav-ing.'

The following table gives a comparisonof the stakes for this year and last year:

AJPith. the .exception of the reducedstakes, the differences between the twoprogrammes are ofa minor character. TheLightning Handicap, on the third day,which, last year was a mile saddle-event,

PACERS AND TROTTERSNOTES FROM HUTT PARK

Gleurossie rejoined L. 0. Thomas's teamduring the past week, and looks ia goodorder to start another serious prepara-tion. He has filled out a lot during hiswell-earned holiday, and on appearanceshe should not be long in placing anotherstake to the credit o£ his popular owner,Mr. J. McDonald.

E. Maidmeut is jogging Jean Parrishabout the roads, preparatory to puttingher into regular training. She has had alet-up since the Carterton Meuting inMarch. Her poor showing at that meet-ing was caused through her catching achill, but after veterinary attention shemade a good recovery. This daughter ofGuy Parrish should earn a good stake dur-ing the coming season.

Foster Cotton has been handling a nic;e-looking chestnut filly by Wrack from aHarold Dillon mare. She is a straight-outtrotter, and for a youngster shows re-markably good action. It is understoodthat several inquiries have been made forher. ■■■.'-

Zella,. who is still in "the paddock, willbe taken in hand again shortly by T.Leadbetter. During the season this HuiaDillon mare showed all her old-time bril-liant speed in her training work, but herbad behaviour at the barrier robbed herowner-trainer of more than one stake. Asshe did not succeed .in earning place-money and competed in the requisite num-ber of races she has become entitled to.a one-second let-up in her handicap.

The disappointing Purser has made hisreappearance on the track, and; has beendoing easy work on the lead during thepast week-

Thomas is giving his four ■ youngstersX>lenty of educational exercise. All aremoving well, and it is quite on the cardsthat the Hutt Park may produce a classicwinner from among them in the not toodistant future. . "Don Nyhan i3taking Murchimes to theHawkes Bay Meeting, which will be heldon Friday and Saturday. In;a work-outone day last week /with. Chenaway, Mur-chimee finished full of running, going awayfrom the colt. ' If there is a soft track,which is not unlikely at this time of theseason, Murchimes should secure somestake money on the trip. : : ■Huia Maid, who has been doing, plentyof work and. was responsible for a 'goodtry-out' during last week, also leaves forher home town .to-day: Sec owner^_Mr;W..H. Atkins intends settling at the Hutt,as the local tracks are more, suitable for:his favourite'mare.; Fre.d. WaddeU willagain drive Huia Maid in her races.. " .'With the'near approach of the SaplingStakes, the two-yearold classic, to be runat the Ashburton Winter Meeting on 11thJune, the public performances of the two*year-olds are being watched with great in-terest. Prior to the■ victory. of Indian-apolis in the Selma Trotat the AshburtonRacing Club's. Meeting, J. Bryce's coltMatch King was the popular selection inthe South. However, Indianapolis (byWrack—Estella/Amos) won so easilyagainst horses of all ages, running themile and a half in 3min 30 2-ssec, thathe has how come into favour. He isowned by Mr. A. J.NicolLOn Saturday last Cloudy. Range (Wrack—Ayr),. another Nicoll-owned- candidate,put lip a remarkably "good performancein the Opihi Trot at the South Canter-bury Jockey Club's Meeting, in which hefinished second, beaten two lengths, tothe five-year-old Te Kinga, who recorded3min 25 4-ssec for the one mileand a half.In view o£ these performances it lookslike the Nicoll bracket being hard to beatin the juvenile event.

The principal trotting meeting this weekis that of the Canterbury Park TrottingClub, to be held at Addington on Fri-.day and Saturday. The main event on thefirst day is the King George Handicap,lor which Impromptu; winner of the R.A. Armstrong Memorial at the last Wel-lington Meeting, has come into favour dur-ing the week. Other fancied candidatesare Rollo and Red Shadow. Given a drytrack, Impromptu should bo hard to beat.OFFER FROM AUSTRALIAAccording to a Te Avoha report, Mr.K. B. Hines has received an inquiry fromAustralia for Master Brierly, and at theprice quoted by the owner it is probablethat business may result. . i

_This Musketoon two-year-old won races

this season, despite the fact that he wasgrowing and developing fast<at the "time.He is being properly wintered, and shouldmake a good three-year-old. His dam,Lady. Brierly, one of Mr. Hines's broodmares, is by Archiestown from a Demos-thenes mare^and_thebreedinK is good.

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK

AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY

"GETTING BACK TO SANITY"

'vßy Telegraph.)(Special to "The Eventafl Post.")

AUCKLAND, 30th May.A brighter outlook for Australian in-

dustry, particularly wheat and wool,was predicted by Sir Joseph Car-ruthers, formerly Premier of New SouthWales, 'who arrived by the Niagarafrom Sydney on his <way to Honolulu.In addition to the fine wool clip, forwhich fair prices had been obtained,heavy cargoes of .Australian,wheat hadbee,n shipped to China and Japan, andthere was every prospect of another re-cord harvest with an improvement inprices. ,""These heavy shipments of wheat to

the East are not altogether a goodsign," he added, "becauße it may meanthat China and Japan are, preparing forfurther hostilities."

mining was suffering se-verely from the depression, said SirJoseph, the goldmining industry wasstowing signs of a brilliant recovery.Now worth &5 15s an ounce, gold pro-duction was a highly profitable busi-ness, and at the same time it helped toovercome the exchange difficulty, forthe export of gold became a feasibleproposition when the metal was beingproduced^ in'large quantities. Goldmin-ing should ;experience a mild boom inN,ew South Wales, and. the productionfor the Commonwealth should be con-siderable.

!*Sir Joseph "said the feeling ;in Aus-tralia was that Mr.Lang's party wouldsuffer defeat in the New South Waleselections. Factors in the situationwere the Federal Labour Party, whichwas expected to poll much more heav-ily than in the last Federal elections,and the Country Party, which premisedto defeat Lang-planners in all but pneor two of the country seats. The UnitedAustralia. Party would gain seats inthe metropolitan areas./'Mr. Lang has definitely lost caste

with the workers, who are turning inlarge numbers away from him and to-ward the Federal Labour Party," saidSir Joseph. "That tide alone will costMr. Lang his political ascendancy. Mr.Stevens, the new Premier, is a straight-forward, plain-apoken man, not exactlyan orator, but capable of holding theattention of an audience, and manifest-ly sincere.

"Australia is definitely getting backto. sanity," he added. "Three months af-ter the ejection in New South "Walesshe will forge ahead financially andcommercially. She has a serious burdento carry in the form of debts of mis-management, but she has the best bank-ing institution in the world—the bankof nature—and any cheques drawn uponit she will honour."

COLLEGE OLD BOYSAN ACTIVE ASSOCIATION

ANNUAL MEETING

Although in the opinion of at leastone speaker the attendance ofabout 50out of a total membership of about athousand could have been improvedupon, there was no lack of enthusiasmat the forty-second annual meeting ofthe_ Wellington College Old Boys' As-sociation last night. Various mattersconcerning the school and the associa-tion were ..discussed, and proposals putjforward for the encouragement of in-terest in the one J:or the benefit of theother, , "■' " ','■■ *'- In presenting the report and balance-sheet, Colonel E. St; J. Beere, presi-dent of the association, said that thefinances were quite sound, althoughthe same amount of revenue ■wa.s notbeing received as in the past. Thevarious*sub-clubs were doing as: wellas in the past. The branch associa-tions at Dunedin and Auckland wereflourishing, as was the London branch,which was a very live body.

Keferring to the perpetaal trustfund, he impressed upon old bays thodesirability of allotting to that fundany bequests intended for tie benefitof the school, and thereby being as-sured that the money would be spentas it was intended., Confidence in the association's execu.tive officers -was expressed by Mr. A. E.Meek, -who seconded the adoption of.the report. Iv ths old daya of theassociation/ he said, there was no Old.Boys' Day, but the annual dinner wasmuch more largely attended than ithad been in recent years.

THE SOCIAL SIDE.A nnmber of speakers referred to the

desirability of working up greater in-terest in the association, and it wassuggested that there should be a closerconnection between the old-boys' sportsclubs and the Old Boys' Association.Another suggestion, was that thereshould be more functions during theyear at which the old boys would meet., Expressing the opinion that the Old;Boys* Day should be more in the nature■"of- a leunion at which there" would bean opportunity for renewing oldacquaintanceships, and that dances andBJmilar functions should be heldthroughout the year, Mr. E. Hogg-nioved that the committee should be■directed to co-opt a social committeewhich would arrange social functions

"on the lines he had suggested..His motion was enthusiastically sup-ported and was carried unanimously.■ It was decided to make the follow-ing donations to the college:—Groundfund, &5 ss; shooting prize, £2 2a;

mathematics prize, £2 2s.OITICEES ELECTED.

LAND VALUES LEAGUE

LESS WORK, MOEE TAXES

SUGGESTED REMEDY

DE-RATING UNWISE

The annual meeting of the N.Z. LandValues League was held in the TradesHall last evening, Mr. P. J. O'Begaapresiding. The report and balance-sheet were adopted, and Sir GeorgaFowlds was re-elected president, Mr.O'Eegan, vice-president, and Mr. E. '**D. Smith, secretary-treasurer. , It wasresolved to hold p. number of meetingsduring the coming winter insisting onthe urgency of land value taxation, and , 'the abolition of other taxes, as the only' 'way out of the present appalling stateoi? affairs. Eesolutions on several cur-rent questions were adopted as fol-lows:— 'UNEMPLOYMENT—THE REMEDY.

"That we deplore the persistence of "the unemployed, evil and sympathise*with those of our fellow-citizens. who "are compelled to accept charity, and wedeclare:— «.

(1) That, save as a temporary expedi-ent, it is not the business of the GovVeminent to find work for any man, butit is the business and the duty of Par-liament to ordain legislation wherebyevery man will be able to employ him-self. ■ - .

(2) That if we are to have so-called ■relief works, they should.be a ehargaupon property by taxation, and in par- 'ticular a charge on the community valueof land. The taxation of wages for anypurpose we denounce -as a raid on theearnings of labour, which is particularlyodious in the present instance, inasmuchas the funds so raised, though avowedlyfor the benefit of the unemployed, arereally expended'for,the special benefitof the landholding class. v(3) That the so-called unemployedpolicy of the Government neither indi--'cates nor embodies any plan or policyfpr the mitigation and.ultimate aboli-tion of theevil, for the ending of which7Ministers are in reality trusting t9luck. . ' , ■(4) That the sole cause of the unem-.ployed difficulty is land monopoly, and .we reiterate that for this clamant'pub- ■"■lio wrong there is one (and only one)simpleand sovereignremedy, namely the ;collection by taxation of. the. full an- '■'nual'rental value of land, coupled with ".the abolition of other taxation.- :; -"/■

GRADUATED LAND TAX,"Whereas it has been alleged'by.and :on behalf of the present Government,

that the graduated land tax has beenabolished to relieve farmers) we directthe attention of the public to the fol-lowing facts:—

(l)JThat the graduated land tax wasapplicable only to properties having aaunimproved value of £5000 and over.:

(2) That the number of owners-liableto the tax was 9178, of whom not less %than one-third were owners of city pro-perty.

(3) That the average unimproved -value of each property was £14,700,and the total unimproved ' valua£135,000,000. ~~ . ~-■Accordingly we reiterate that insofaras the tax has relieved country land,it has been a concession not to farmers,but to'the wealthiest territorial ..mag-nates and that insofaras it has relievedurban properties, it . has.banks, shipping companies, :hr.eweries,drapery establishments, etc.", but to: al-lege that it has benefited farmers is-a "daring defiance of the truth. ■ . '-

>7 DEBATING DENCHINCED.;; "That inasmuch as .the so-calledFarmers Union, not content with the"abolition of "the" graduated land tax,still persists in its demands for thede-rating of farm lands, we note thatit has madei no pronouncement on thequestion of the county1 franchise, and1'accordingly we hereby direct public at-tention to the following facts:— "">(1) That the county franchise isbased- on a rating qualification (seahereon Section 37 of the Counties Act,----1920). -, . ■ "(2) That the public still toleratesplur.al; voting "in counties, -the scalebeing one vote where the rateable value 'does not exceed £1000, two votes ifthe rateable value exceeds £IQOO, butis not more than £2000, and three votesif, the rateable value exceeds £2000.

(3) That every county elector isentitled to vote in the riding whereinhis property is situated, and, as there,may be as many as twelve ridings in acounty^ it is legally possible for oneperson to have as many as thirty-sixvotes.

(4) That while the Farmers Union,contemplates relieving rural ratepayersof their obligations to pay rates theyare nevertheless apparently to retainthe franchise' (includingjjluralvoting),and hence, while they are to pay norates, they are to control the countycouncils.

(5) That the de-rating of rural landswould aggravate the jealousy existingbetween town and country and wouldbe followed by demands, which couldnotbe denied, for the de-rating of urban,and suburban lands. Thus the func-tions of local government would be seri-ously impaired. . '(6) That local rates, whether in townor country, are really a rent-charge infavour of the community,.and hence, toabolish them would be a serious infracrtion of popular rights.: (7) That the inevitable effect of thewtf'ks now being carried out by theunemployed is to enhance the value ofland_, and we repeat that ft is peculiarlysignificant that the real beneficiariesof unemployed relief should demandfurther immunities from taxation. Ac-cordingly we hereby direct the atten-tion of the landless masses ofthe peopleto this arrogant demand to make thalandholders of this country a specially;privileged caste."

THE EVENING POST. TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1932.5

Evening Post.TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1932.

REPRESENTATION AT OTTAWAIn the strong disapproval with

which the proposed personnel of theNew Zealand delegation to theOttawa Conference was, receivedby the leading newspapers ofthe Dominion, without regardto party, there seemed to Sisto be only one false note, and thatwas in the suggestion that its ex-cessive size was due to the personalambition of one of its members

The inclusion of Mr. Coates with Mr.Forbes and Mr. Stewart, said the Dun-edin "Evening Star," will be a sur-priso only to those who are unfamiliarwith the extent of his ambitions.Thbse who measure the ambitions, ofMr. -Coates by . his last previouschoice of a position for himself maybe excused for continuing to believethat-the most powerful of those am-bitions is the desire to serve hiscoun-try, anybody imagine, a morelaborious, thankless, invidious, anddistressing responsibility than thatof the Minister in. Charge of Unem-ployment—a .position in which eventhe; best of administration would bethe target of hatred, misrepresenta-tion, and abuse, with hardly a com-pensating syllable of gratitude evenfor ithe most conspicuous of its suc-cesses? Yet, with all the portfoliosexcept that of finance at his com-mand, this desperate job was thechoice of Mr. Coates. We will.not.say, with MarkAntony—Ambition should be made of sterner;; stuff,but rather that the ambition here re-vealed must have been the honour-able ambition of service1, and thatunless ithad>been made of very sternstuff, it would have chosen a softerjob. .

With this fact staring us in-,theface and with others not beyond con-jecture we were not troubled by thesuspicions of our contemporary, andwe are glad to say that just in time|we gave our faith a positive form.,Referring to the inclusion of both,Mr^ Forbes and' Mr. Coates in the1delegation, we said:—

Our own belief is that neither ofthem desired.to go, but that they werepushed into it by interested parties'who were really more concerned tokeep Mr. Stewart out than to puteither of .them in.Our confession of faith was, as. wesay, just in time to put us right, for|it was published yesterday, andto-day^ the ground ■on which it wasbased is confirmed "straight from the'horse's mouth," and the responsibil-'ity assumed by a representative ofthe guilty parties. In an interviewat Auckland yesterday Mr. W. Good-fellow, who will represent the dairyindustry at the Ottawa Conference,deplored the "strong protests" thathad been made against the inclusionof Mn Goates in the delegation.It has been stated, said Mr; Good-fellow, that Mr: Coates has pushedhimself in for personal reasons. Thisis absolutely unfounded. ' Indeed, theproducers of the Dominion had thegreatest difficulty in persuading "Mr.Coates that it was his duty to go toOttawa. He refused at first, butsubsequently agreed to reconsider thematter; .-.■_.

TTiis confirmation of our confidencein Mr. Coates and out want of con-fidence in those who have pushedhim into a false position is-naturallyvery satisfactory from our'point ofview, and from the infinitely moreimportant standpoints of Mr. Coatesand the country it isequally satisfac-tory. The vindication of the Minis-ter is complete. He did not seek aplace op the Ottawa jJelegation, butr was pushed into it, and it took somevery heavy pushing'to get him there.Thehope that he may be pushed outof it is therefore encouraged by thebelief that his own better judgmentmay still favour the conclusion thathisproperplace during thenext threeOr four months is at home.

On another material point thisvaluable witness renders us s thedouble service of confirming- ourdiagnosis and introducing a touchof comedy into thecontroversy whichis very welcome in these hard times.Mr. Goodfellow reminds us that "themost representative deputation pos-sible of all primary producers"—adeputation representing everythingrural from dairying to fruit and pigs—waited on the Cabinet's OttawaCommittee and urgedthat both Mr. Forbes and Mr. Coatesshould go, and that on account of hisspecial qualifications^ Sir James' Parrshould be included. ' .As nobody would'dream of suggest-ing that there should be four dele-gates, this request confirms our con-tention that one of the objects ofthose who wanted to put both theleading Ministers on the delegationwas to keep Mr. Downie Stewartoff it. A wise advocate of/the pro-ducers' policy would surely at thistime of day have qbserved a dis-creet silence regarding their utterlydiscredited attemptsto exclude fromthe delegation the one man who isconspicuously competent to deal withthe technical problems of currency,prices, and tariffs, and to substi-tute Sir James Parr. The second ofthese projects, which seemed merelyfoolish and impertinent at the timebut has now become comic, is given'a new interest by the apparent con-flict between Mr.' Goodfellow's state-

merit and Mr. Poison's. Accordingto Mr. Goodfellow, Sir James Parr'scandidature was' advocated, not as astick to beat Mr. Stewart with, butfrom his own "special qualifications"by a deputation which represented,among others, the Farmers' Union.But at the meeting of the Union'sDominion Eexecutive on the 18thinst Mr. W. J. Poison, M.P., presi-dent, statedthat the Executive simply said thatMessrs. Forbes and Coates should beincluded in the delegation.If so, the Farmers' Union was ;mis-represented by the deputation whichcommitted it fo the. support of SirJames Parr, but in that case the re-sponsibility " should have beenpromptly and clearly disclaimed bythe Executive. It seems, however,that if the competitor who waslikened by Mr.'Fraser, M.P., toPhar Lap had been allowed to run itwould have -been Vith Goodfeilowup, and not with Poison up, that hewould have made the pace atOttawa.-

But though the tactics and argu-ments of those who claim to repre-sent the producers have their comicalside, they betray a misunderstandingof the position which is deplorableand, if they had.fully succeeded,might have been disastrous.

The producers want Mr. <Coates togo, and.apparently the secondary in-dustry interests want Mr. Stewart,said Mr. Goodfellow. Mr. Stewartmay suit the manufacturers and thebanks, but he will not suit the farmers,and the suggestion made in some quar-ters that he; should be the sole repre-sentative of this Dominion at Ottawa

.is preposterous. ■ -\ :- .-

But we are not sending brokers and"barirackers" to compete with rivalsof tie same calibre in the Pit atChicago.; We are sending thebest representatives that we canspare .of the statesmanship ofan Imperially-minded Cabinet toconfer with statesmen represent-ing other parts of the samegreat Empire regarding its commoninterests. But] Mr. Goodfellow's idealappears to be that we should sendthe' representatives of our chief in-dustries to make the best deal theycan with similarrepresentatives fromother parts of the Empire, and as theindustries he represents have; failed

" to capture the delegation completelydie strife at the Conference is to becomplicated by a strife in the dele-gation itself betweenv these represeri;tatives and-those ; of- the Secondaryindustries which have unfortunatelyobtained a minority representation!A more wretched travesty of tjheImperialism and the patriotism inwhich this country once took a legi-timate pride could npt well beimagined. i

PROPS FOR INDUSTRY

I' For some time past it has beenurged in various quarters that anattempt should be .made to draft un*employed workers into the trades towhich they belong, instead of giv-ing them the alternative of labour-ing or farm work. The soundness ofthis suggestion is admitted, the dif-ficulty lies in giving effect-to it. TheUnemployment Board has made abeginning in its plan for subsidisingbuilding and repairs. This involvesdeparture from .accepted principlesof public policy. Public moneyswill; be applied for private profit.But this !is not the first departure.Even before the depression the Gov-ernment scattered subsidies oh allsides. In endeavouring to ease un-employment it has gone much fur-ther, first in subsidising privatelabour for small jobs mainly in thetowns, then in subsidising farm de-velopment under the; No. 4 schemesand in a subsidy for the flax indus-try. The question of principle, then,need not give great concern exceptinsofar as the latest scheme shows,as we fearedj that if once the sub-sidy system is adopted it may extendin many directions. The Unemploy-ment Board must take note of thistendency and be prepared to justifyeach new departure fully.

More immediately important isthe danger of abuse of, the systemin its practical operation. The Boardis not unaware of this, as it hasreserved, the right to suspend thesubsidy when-it is satisfied that aregular employee has been dismissedfor the purpose of taking on subsi-dised labour. "This reservation, how-eyer, is not a complete safeguard,even with close supervision. THieBoard, in fact, must-rely 'chiefly upon'the honour of the builders to pre-vent abuse., Even without direct anddeliberate abuse of the system, more-

(over, the subsidy will^ not result ina hundred per cent, use of funds forworkless artisans who would nototherwise have benefited. Much workthat wouldhave been done in any.cir-cumstances will come, under thescheme.' The man who intended tohave his house painted-will now beable to claim a.subsidy. This can-not well be avoided. The-Board hasno means of ascertaining whetherthe work would have been done with-out the subsidy, or whether the helpwas really necessary to have the jobput in hand.

On-the credit side there is much.to be said for the new "scheme. Itwill mean just that little differencewhich will induce property ownersto have work done now instead ofwaiting. This will be worth the costto the Unemployment Fund,-as themaximum subsidy pf 22s 6d a week,and 12s 6d a week after Ist July,1933,;wi1l be less than'the averagecost of labouring relief work. Thereis no immediate danger of such asubsidy leading to a new boom inbuilding. In a brief'1 application(and we assume that the scheme willbe limited in its duration) the helpcan do no more than lift the build-ing and allied trades a little way outof the deep slump into which theyhave sunk. This slump is due partlyto the general depression and partlyto the excessive building activity offormer years. But the trade has gonefrom one extreme lo the other. Fromexcessive optimism in the construc-tion of new huildings the community

has been carried to the limits ofcaution. Works which are warranted,and even urgent, are held up. This,as Mr. Coates says, is partly psycho-logical. The subsidy will be a tonicdose of confidence. On general prin-ciples, as they have been accepted inthis emergency, this help is justified.Rural industry has had substantialaid under the No. 4 schemes and inother ways; but town industry hashad little help, though the bulk ofthe Unemployment Funds has beenspent in the towns on public works.Moreover, though the diversion oflabour to primary production ishighly desirable, the process of diver-sion is necessarily slow, and makeslittle-impression on the rising regis-ter of unemployed. This diversion,too, has its limits.. The capacity ofthe country to absorb labour quicklysets one limit, and the ability jofworkers to adapt themselves to coun-try conditions sets, another. Thereare manymen inthe towns who, withthe best will in the world, are tooold and set to be a success in thecountry. If their training and skillin trades canbe usedby other means,it is profitable to the communitythat it should be so used.

CAMP WEAR AND TEAR

' A section of the valedictory re-port of the resigning executive of dieWellington City " UnemploymentCommittee dealt with making con-ditions ;n single men's relief campseasier in various ways. One way wasfay helping in providing boots,trousers, and blankets. It is hardto imagine a more practical way, foralthough musical and social enter-tainment is of diehighest.valuer whatman in winter can be'happy in campwithout the' essentials of being wellshod by day and well blanketed bylnight? Whether the work be road-making or tfee-pldritlng or drainageVJthe wear and tear of Boots andtrousers in rough country is far inexcess of" that incurred in normalwork in a city. The committee re-ports that the Government will notprovide any money for the supplyof boots, trousers, and blankets, butthat the Public Works Departmentwill sell blankets and .boots on adeferred payment basis (deductionsfrom pay) /and proposes to providetrousers in the. same manner. Nowthat the committee is 'out of action,it is to be hoped that someone willwatch this phase of the. camps' pro-Wem and see that needs are met.At a moment when a "clothes drive"is projected, the camps' side of ayery difficult problem needs keepingin mind. ... ■

CORRESPONDENCESHOOTING AND SPORT

(To the Editor.)Sir,—With your consent I propose to

show that your correspondent, "Anti-Cruelty," labours under an inferioritycom-plex as to what he calls the "practice ofmaiming and killing for sport." Appar-ently he thinks that sportsmen go outwith guns for the purpose of "inflictingsuffering." ";' -, * .-,■-" .

Speakingfor myself as one who has done'some shooting for the past forty-five years,may I tell him that I know o£ nb-mbrehumane method of killing than by.shoot-ing, the bird being for the mpst partkilleddead^ in the -:, air—instantly\in fact—norhave I: ever yet seen a sportsman. whofound pleasure in,seeing any creatures suf-fer pain; indeed, he wouldnot be consid-ered .a sportsman were he so" unnatural.Of course some birds must inevitably es-cape wounded and sufferybutsportsmen dotheir bestrto avoid such events,and makeevery effort to effect the "coup die grace"in the shortest possible lapse-of timeApparently; the R.S.P.G.A. 4oes notshare your correspondent's views,-as theyhave,approved of a small gun for shoot-ing cattle in ithe abbatoirs, and 1 feelsurethey would not have approved this de-vice, called "The Humane Cattle Killer,"had they known of any better plan. Ihave read thaf theyi would like' to seeits use made compulsory in the slaughter-ing of all animals. Seeing that "Anti-Cruelty" feels so strongly in the matter,he neglected a grand opportunity oftellingsportsmen of.some method of avoiding thepossibility- of wounding. at all. My ex-perience is that the .gun is a hit aud killor miss altogether weapon, and 'thatwounding is rare.

There can be little'doubt that few ani-mals feel pain as humans do; but evenso, a bullet through the leg is not" verypainful, as 1 can personally testify,- as Ihave had -that experience myself.'. Animalsknow little about pain and nothing at allabout death; but they do know a. lotabout loss of their liberty—hence their"terror, oh being caught" or squeals "whencornered." ■ _■ -■■ ':";! r '..'":■' .

TEPID BATHS

(To the Editor.)Sir,—As an interested pwimmer I was

very much impressed with the.remarks ofone of the members of the deputation whowaited on the Mayor the other day re-garding tepid salt waterbaths. '■' He statedthat. to make tepid baths . pay thesurroundings should be so planned to makeprovision for other sports, training facili-ties, boxing, athletics, etc. The financerequired to provide a tepid bath andsurroundings as suggested would certainlybe out of the question at the present time,but, as I understand by Mr. Hislop's re-marks, the Boys' Institute Committee hasmade certain suggestions to the councilwhich means the provision "of about £300for a gymnasium building and'a sum forrepairs which is not stated, and an out-going of possibly £200 per annum. Surelythe council would be wise to accept theoffer and retain the present bath, ,withthe addition of a gymnasium, at such alow cost. This should meet the wishes ofthe deputation, and the, new gymnasiumwould, I am sure, be used by clubs andathletic bodies outside the institute, andcould also be made available for' swim-:mers wishing to use it for training pur-poses. .It is quite apparent that it willbe some considerable time'f.'before thecouncil could commit itself to themajor scheme in regard'to the new baths,*but the citizens should notbe deprived pithe use of the present baths when at sucha moderate cost they .can be kept-open.May the, councillors, do their part and.accept the offer ■.made by the Boys' Insti-tute; Committee and so retain the "use ofthe only-tepid baths in the capital, city.—I am, etc.,-.!- .

Taxation through * themedium of Customs duty is one.of tileeasiest methods for' a Government tocollect taxes. When one considers thatfully half of the entire taxation of ourcountry for 1930-31 was secured throughCustoms duty, it should give the peopleof New Zealand something to think about.We definitely assert that the only waythat the cost of living can be reduced isby-a lowering of the present Customsduties, especially on all articles and food-stuffs that cannot.profitably be manufac-tured in New Zealand without excessiveprotection, e.g., take £1 worth of British-made goods, such as. -wearing "apparel,carpets, linoleums, boots, etc.; on a parrate of exchange, duty free plus usuallanding charges and the ordinary distri-butors' rate of profit, could be sold to thepublic approximately at 355.

sent conditions the above articles, with10 per cent, adverse exchange, plus hightariffs, etc., reach the consumer at approxi-mately 50s to 555. ;

Mr. Nash's dictum was not madein a debate, but at a:'meeting since thesession ended:-' The.

There was no. ques-tion of boycott whatever.- : ivii 'The' principle' that Civil servants owetheir duty'asa body to the public to carryout public ■services cannot be questioned.While members, can hold whatpolitical'views they .please, there1 is nojustification for" an .organised body.t ofCivil .servants'linking up: with any poli-tical or industrial organisation;-" becausethis may involve them in' action contraryto their,duty towards the/public" gener-ally. Civil servants have certain privi-leges and obligation's to the public and theState, and it'has always, been recognisedas a cardinal rule that they do not par-ticipate in political, activities. If suchwere allowed any ■Government might finditself., in antagonism to the service andunable to carry on the services necessaryto the community. .■» ' .

"■ It is on principle alone that we hold itto be wrong and inexcusable for any or-ganised body of Public servants 'to de-liberately boycott members of the publicfor the purpose of compelling them tosupport, its" demands, and on this prin-ciple we take exception to the member forHutt telling.the Civil servants how. they,might have.'retaliated on those who dis-agreed wih'them by adopting "a differentline of action.

"Although wo-are all proud of ourschool, and I would bow to no .one ivthat respect, wo would delude ourselvesif we thought that there was the samepride in the school felt by the present-day boys as by the boys of twenty andthirty years ago, "said Dr. J. S. Elliottat the annual meeting of the ■Welling-ton College Old. Boys' Association lastnight. "In our_,day we felt that ourparents were making a sacrificb in send-ing us to the school. Now the boysseem to think they are sent there as amatter of course, as to any Governmentschool, just as they: were isent to theprimary, schools. That is probably,why there is not the same pride in theschool as there was in the past. Theschool now has an enormous s attend-ance, and there.is not the same per-isonal .contact., as before, and there isall the more'reason why we should fos-ter the Old Boys' Association., "This association is as. successful asany in New Zealand—it is probably themost successful, and that is somethingto be proud of.

Mr. V replied with warmth, makingBpecial reference to the' personal ap-pearance of Mr. X, whom he describedas a "dog-faced hyena with-%he intel-ligence of a gnu and the imaginationrfa limpet." '

Mr. X's reply, which -was devotedprincipally-to certain doubtful aspectsin regard to Mr. V's bir^h and ante-cedents, was interrupted by Mr-Speaker, .who remarked that in Msopinion, and,' he believed, in the opin-ion of a majority., of members also,Messrs.

Mr. A drew attention to the Stand-ing Orders, which allowed a maximumof-three rounds in the present case, thepersonal references having been of aparticularly mild nature.

PHAR LAP'S DEATHWAS IT POISONING?

BALLS OF CLAY IN BOX

ASTOUNDING- THEOEY

The following article on the deathof Phar Lap was written for "ThePost" by H. A. Wolfe ("Cardigan")the well-known Australian sportingwriter, who was at Aqua Caliente atthe time, and whose preceding articleshave appeared in "The Post."

How did Phar Lap die?No man may truly say that he

knows, but Mrs. D. J. Davis andWoodcock soon after pointed with>vrath to lumps of clay in his stall.

"How did they get there. Howidid they get there," Woodcock re-peated over and overagain. It is be-lieved that some lone;fanatic opposedto the turf put them there, believingthat PharLap would build up racingagain in the United States.

"I would not allow a speck of dust toremain in his box, and yet the day hedied there were half a dozen clay balls-—man made—in hia stall," said Wood-cock.. And the clay balls containad arsenic.

'Visitors w.ere not allowed at closequarters with Phar Lap. Were thesedeath balls thrown through a smallwindow high up at the back of hisstall during the night, and did PharLap lick them? ■ "As Phar Lap sleeps on a sunny Cali-fornian slope overlooking the Pacific,men argue and wonder why some foulhand was raised against him.

Fearless, magnificent, with bold eyeand unflinching heart, Phar Lap triedso hard to fight against the deadlypoison that he had eaten.

He fought withall the courage of hisrace-track triumphs. He refused to givein, and, like" the gentleman lfe was,died on his feet.

He was about to carry the turf ban-ner on high 'in a great crusade. Hewould have won millions of racing enn-verts-r^this living example of good insport.

Some say that he would even haveled California, to pass favourable racinglegislation.

Phar Lap had a compelling "effect, amagic, way of winning admirers.

From Menlo Park were the tidings.borne: "Phar Lap is dead." It couldnot be,true. There must be some error,but no—-Phar Lap was dead.

And then after his death came con-fusion. Neilsen and a San Franciscoveterinary held a post-mortem. Neil-sen said: "I don't see how, it could bedue to natural causes. ,An irritantwhich caused inflammation of the stom-ach and perforated the bowels killedPhar Lap."? " '

THE "OFFICIAL" REPORT.Veterinary surgeons, doctors, chem-ists, toxicologists, and pathologists

flocked to Menlo Park in streams.■The Government at Washington tooka hand, in the investigation, and so didofficials of California.Finally, an official report signed byfour doctors and a chemist was issued,

saying that Phar Lap died from an ac-cumulation of gas in the stomach, whichwaa principally responsible for his sud-den death.

They also stated that poison in some-thing he had eaten may have been .re-sponsible for irritation in the intestinaltract. - ''"■'■* ■ /.''".The report seems like a double-head-ed penny. If the poison in the feedcaused his intestinal tract to be irri-tated, is itnot likely that it also causedthe accumulation of gas?Phar Lap did not die from natural

causes.He was never better than during thefortnight he was at Menlo Park.-Then one morning at 6 o'clock Wood-

cock realised that the horse was any-thing but well.■ Veterinary Neilsen was called—howas living at Ed Perry's:ranch house,where the Australians had made theirhome, ancl he immediately gave PharLap a drench. At the same time thehorse.was walked about in the sun.At 10 o'clock he had improved-somuch that Woodcock returned to thestables, but almost immediately thechampion got worse, and once again hewas taken out and walked round theexercise yard.

An hour later it was with the great-est difficulty that he was able to walk,and while Neilsen was away obtainingthe services of another veterinary sur-geon, Woodcock in despair led the suf-fering champion back to Ms stall,where he heeled over on his rightshoulder and died.

DAVIS'S ACTION.vB. J. Davis, who did not arrive atMenlo Park until late the afternoon ofthe horse's death, at his own expenseand for his own satisfaction asked Pro-fessor Frank Greetf, San Francisco Citytoxicologist, to investigate.Unfortunately the early post-mortemhad to a large extent destroyed (unwit-tingly, of course) valuable data which

would have assisted greatly in thepathological tests.__ When at first it was discovered thatPhar Lap's stomach contained arsenic,it wasy thought that it might havefceen due to eating grass covered'withJnmute particles of arsenate of lead.This theory seemed a reasonable onenntil.it was pointed out by Ed Perry'sforeman that the majority of the horsesunder his charge had eaten in the samepaddock as Phar Lap.Woodcock, when he recovered fromhis grief, said: "Horses don't die thatway. Bobby is dead, and nothing Ican say or do can bring him back."

STAKE RECORD.He said that there were manystrangers around the stables daily, andhe was suspicious of one erratic sortof: chap, who seemed too inquisitive.He discounts entirely any thought ofPhar Lap's death coming from eatingpoisonous grass as preposterous "Icut it myself," he said, "and cut itfrom the same place each day, so whydidn't it affect him before?"In writing of his death one hesitatesto mention money, but it is no exag-geration to say that he would have seta money-winning record that wouldhave .Btood perhaps for all time inracing.Half a million dollars seems anenormous sum for, a horse to win evenin a lifetime of racing, but Phar Lapwould probably have won that amountduring the next six months.Is it any wonder that D. J. Davis,

after a week of worry and trouble fol-lowing Phar Lap's death, was one daytaken to hia home suffering acutelyfrom severe nervous breakdown. PharLap had become such a public idol withTacegoers that any club, despite thohuge purse necessary to attract him,wonld have had little trouble in clear-ing expenses and some thousands ofdollars to the good. %

FREE TICKETS.In America the race clubs on the

West Coast dp not worry a great dealabout gate receipts. Thousands ofentrance tickets are given away, theclub being content to make their profitfrom the percentage taken from thetotalisator.I (was never able to discover the

" exact percentage taken by the clubs,as it was a closely-guarded secret, but

it must have been considerable whenno store. was placed on the entrancemoney.

However, on occasions, when. theclubs had some special feature on theirprogrammes, notices were" issuedthrough the newspapers that the freelist- was entirely suspended.

For instance, at Aqua Calient© onhandicap day, the entrance fee wasthree dollars to the grandstand en-jclosure and another six dollars to theclub house. And everybody had topay.

Tanforan intended adopting thesame idea when Phar Lap ran at thattrack early in the present month. Theofficials expected an attendance of50,000, and they did not appear to beover-confident considering that the at-tendance at that track on the Satur-day before I left America was 35,000and only ordinary handicappers wereengaged.

They also were aware that more than1000 motor-cars were driven to MenloPark (35 miles from San Francisco)each afternoon to see Phar Lap exercise(with his sheet on).

One does not require to have a brainof a super mathematician to realisethat if 3000 were content to see ; theAustralian champion walk round withonly his head and legs showing, howmany more would be prepared to paythree dollars to see him in action evenagainst moderate horses!. Consequently, when D. J. Davis askedthe Tanforan people for a purse of25,000 dollars for a special race theyhad no hesitation in closing immediate-ly. "They also told Davis that the opposi-tion—while the best ottering—wouldnot cause Phar Lap any trouble. Norwould he be o.verweighted.

They realised that no horse in' Cali-fornia had a possible chance of beatingPhar Lap, and their main .desire wasfor him to appear on their track.

Davis was also asked to parade PharLap on the. Saturday before his Taceand allow him to stride down thestraight at top speed. Tanforan was.prepared to pay 2500 dollars for thathonour. 'A MOVIE STAR.

A few days before Phar Lap diedDavis was busily engaged making ar-rangements with Fox Films Corporationto star Phar Lap .in a play called"Checkers." ".-:.■

Phar Lap was to be the racehorse onwhich the family fortunes were . re-trieved.. Leon Gordon, well-knownin. Australia, and now associated withFox Films in Hollywood, was to /bethe director of the picture.

Davis, was to receive 25,000 dollarsfor Phar Lap's part in the play.

In addition, Davis had already signeda contract with another picture cor-poration for Phar Lap to be the centreof five sporting shorts connected' with-racing. ■ " ' : ,

The shorts were\ to; be handled onsomewhat the same style as the BobbyJones golf pictures. For those picturesDavis was to receive 10,000 dollarseach. ■At Washington Park the prize wassuggested as likely to be 50,000 dollars,and at Lincoln Fields (a smaller track)25,000 dollars.

In addition, Phar Lap was enteredfor several rich races at ArlingtonPark, also at Chicago, the club' whichcould afford to give the richest prizeß.All the same, it is unlikely thatDavis would have allowed Phar Lapto-ran in handicaps, as the Arlingtonofficials were anxious to hold a specialrace against the best horses, and wouldhave made'the losing end so attractiveas ■to make. American owners anxiousto compete; even against'the Australianphenomenon.. .

EXHIBITIONS.In between his Chicago races it was

the intention of Phar Lap's connec-tions to take the short trip across theCanadian border and exhibit the horseat six tracks, the recompense being5000 dollars for each exhibition.

An international race for 100,000dollars would almost certainly ■ havebeen" listed for Belmbnt Park (NewYork) late in the, autumn.

Other clubs were also bidding for thechampion. For instance, Aurora, acomparatively-small organisation out-side Chicago, offered 25,000 dollars forone; race. Bowie wanted, the- cham-pion,, and so1 did practically- everyother racing club in the country.

No one can accuse "the. Americanracing man of not having a keen busi-ness brain, and they wore all quick torealise that Phar Lap was not only-agreat horse, but his sensational winin.Mexico had "captured the imagina-tion of the American public, and theywere willing and anxious to pay highprices to see him!race.

Phar Lap was, or- would hav,e been,to American racing what Jack*Demp-sey was to boxing or Bobby Jones wasto golf.

He would have brought the sportback to its.old-time glory. ,

THE ZUYDER ZEERECLAMATION SCHEME

LONG SEA DYKE COMPLETE

HISTORIC EVENT

United Press Association—By Electric Tele-graph—Copyright.

(Times Cable.)

(Received 31st May, 10 a.m.)LONDON, 30th May

"The Times" Hague correspondentsays that with the completion of th<3eighteen-mile dyke between North Hol-land and Friesland the Zuyder Zee isfinally severed from theNorth Sea. Thework has taken nearly twelve " years.One-tenth of the reclaimed land is al-ready drained and cultivated. Whilemost Dutchmen are celebrating thoclosing of the Zuyder Zee as a historicevent, fisherfolk regard it as a tragedy.Many boats are laid up in harbour, flagsflying at half-mast.

LARGEST WORK OF KIND

The partial reclamation of theZuyder Zee, undertaken by the DutchGovernment in 1918, is the largestwork of its kind ever attempted. On14th June, 1918, a law was passed fordraining part of the Zuyder Zee, andthe work was commenced in. 1920*, andexpected to take 15 years. The firststage adds four polders of an area ofabout 820 square miles to the countryAt a cost of about £5,500,000. Themain dyke runs from the' island ofWioringen broadly north-east of theFriesland coast, thus enclosing -whatwill be a great freshwater lake. Thesecond stage provides the largest polder(about 420 square miles) from thecoast near Kampen to south-west ofthe Amsterdam near Muiden; the north-east polder (about 200 square miles)follows' a.curving course through theisland of Urk, leaving Yssel channelunobstructed; the south-west polder(about 123 square miles) runs north-east from Marken and sweeps backnorth-west to near Enkhuizen; thenorth-west polder (about 76 squaremiles) fills the bay that has existednorth-west of Enkhujzen.

This scheme follows giant enterprisesin. North and South Holland. The planof reclaiming the Zuyder Zee hasexisted for hundreds of years. Theearliest, plans for this purpose datefrom the seventeenth century, but itwas not until the middle of the nine-teenth century that proposals wereseriously considered. Among theplans were . those of van Diggelen(1849),,' Leemans (1877), and thevarious schemes of Lely, afterwardsMinister of Public Works, which ap-peared between 1887 and 1891. Thelast of these is substantially, that on.which work was actually commenced in1920.' The finally approved schemeprovides a sea dyke one and a halfmiles long between tho mainland ofNorth Holland and the island ofWieringen, completed in 1926, a navi-gation and drainage canal which willbe able to take small vessels (alsofinished in 1926) and extending fromthe western, end of the Wieringen dykealong the coast of North Holland toHelder; and the main sea dyke, about18J miles long, from the eastern endof the island of Wieringen to theIMesian■ coast. > Two sets of sluiceswill be provided), one set near eachend of, the dyke,'and the total widthof the :sluice opening will be about1000 feet. Navigation locks for vesselsup to about-2000 tons in capacity arealso being built near the ends of thedyke. This part of the work is ex-pected to be finished in 1934. A largesection of the sea dykes is formed ofboulder clay dredged from the ZuyderZee, brought to the depositing sites inbarges, and unloaded by grab dredgers.The sand filling of tho dykes is pumped.

The1fourth part of the scheme is thereclamation of four areas (the poldersmentioned above) by the constructionof secondary dykes inside the seadykes, aggregating about 553,000 acres,thus increasing the total 'land ofHolland by about 7per cent, and arableland alone by 10 per cent.

Inside the main sea dyke there isto be formed an'inland fresh-water lakeof. about 247,000 acres. This is theYssel Lake, and will provide for thedisposal of flood waters from the riverof that name, and a canal about two-thirds of a mile wide connecting thelake with a smaller one to the east ofAmsterdam. The canal will separatethe south-west polder from the south-east polder, and will- have a. regulatinglock and sluices at the entrance fromLake Yssel. The draining of the re-claimed land will be accompanied by■ ashrinkage, the amount of which willvary between one and three feet. Allthe polders will be on levels consider-ably, below sea level, and the lowestdrainage canal will be as much as 22feet below. Pumps will be installed atpoints on the borders of the. poldersto provide for. the drainage of the land.Cultivation -will not be possible forthree or four years after the completionof each polder, and the land will notreach maximum productiveness forabout fifteen years. It is , estimatedthat ,by 1959, however, the undertakingshonld. show a profit to the State ofat least £8,000,000. There are manysubsidiary features of the work, suchas minor canals, locks, sluices, roads,and bridges, and the total cost hasbeen calculated at about £45,000,000

FINAL SINGLESDAVIS CUP CONTEST

AUSTRALIA V. U.S.A.

CRAWFORD BRILLIANT

United Press Association—By Electric Tele^\ graph—Copyright.(Beceived 31st May, 11 a.m.)

PHILADELPHIA, 30th May.In the final singles in the Davis Cup

match between the United States andAustralia, F. X. Shields (U.S.A.) de-feated J. C. Crawford (Australia), 6-4,7-5, 4-6, 3-6, 6-2.

Crawford was slow in getting start-ed in the first two sets. He openedservice and lost three games in a row.His strokes would not come off. Craw-ford won the fourth, fifth, seventh, andninth games when he steadied; but hisplay was too patchy.

Shields took a commanding lead inthe second set, winning the first fourgames and then quickly running up thelead to 5-1, but the Australian, findinghimself, drew up even. His stroking wasperfect. He was unable, however, tocontinue the pace, and the Americanran out the set.

Crawfordrose to great heights in thethird set. He won the first game tolove oii service, then broke throughShields's service in. the fourth gamewithl sizzling returns, on which theAmerican was hardly able to put hisracquet to hold a 3-1 lead. Shields,making a desperate rally, won the nexttwo games, evening the score. Eachman then held service until Craw-fOTd, who was at top form, in tie twofinal games, won a long-drawn-out vol-leying contest.

The fourth set saw a repetition ofthe Australian's superlative play. Afterthe score stood at 2-all, Crawford cap-tured the next three games and ran outthe set on his own service in the ninthgame. The terrific pace,1 however,took its, toll on Crawford, and Shieldsquickly !ran out the fifth set, being be-hind onl/ once and evening the scoreat 2-all. Crawford was unable to stemthe American's fast attack at the net.

The stroke analysis showed:—Craw-ford, 5 service aces, 43 placements, 53nets, 61 outs, 7 double faults. Shields,4 service aces, 32 placements, 41 nets,49 outs, 11 double faults.

VINES BEATS HOPMAN

(Received 31st May, 12.45 p.m.)PHILADELPHIA, 30th May.

E. Vines (U.S.A.) defeated H. O.Hopman (Australia), 6-3, 9-11, 0-4, 6-4.

Vines broke through Hopman's ser-vice in the'first game, but the Austra-lian returned the compliment, eveningtho score at 2-all. The American tookthe next four games, the Australiandouble-faulting, driving out, and net-ting. Hopman showed an extraordi-nary capacity for attack in the secondset. When the games were 3-all theAustralian tried to change the pace,alternating soft with fast shots, andbadly confusing the American. Whenboth men seemed tired, Hopman spurt-ed taking the nineteenth game to love,and quickly running out the set.

Vines won the third and fourth setsat 6-4. During the third set Hopman,who was still attacking desperately,took the lead several times. How-ever, Vines, who was obviously tiring,finally crashed through. After theten-minute rest intermission Hopmanwon the first and; third games in thefourth set. Then Vines won thTeestraight games. Hopman rallied suf-ficiently to win the seventh and ninth,then Vines won the tenth and thematch. ! . ;

LANG REGIME

UNEMPLOYMENT FUNDS

ALLEGED MISUSE

SYDNEY, 30th May.The Minister of Labour and Indus-

tries, Mr. J. Duhningham, makes whathe describes as remarkable revelationsin regard to the Lang Ministry's mis-use of unemployment funds derivedfrom the wages tax of Is in the pound.

He says that he has discovered that£'40,000 has been diverted to the pay-ment of salaries of the taxation staff,and £'40,000 to the rent commitmentsof the Chief Secretary's Department;£20,000 was spent for charitable reliefwhich should have come from anotherfund; £100 "hush" money wentto theNewcastle Watersiders' Union to pre-vent a strike which was likely to em-barrass the Lang Government; . and£5000 was advanced to the FurnitureTrades Union ostensibly to meet theneeds of the unemployed in that or-ganisation, whereas it has been dis-covered that no condition whatever wasattached to the advance. ■ 'Mr. Dunningham adds that severalavowed Lang Plan advocates also re-ceived first-class inter-State railwaypasses to enable them to pursue theiractivities in other States.

There had also been a vast amountof joy-riding in Government cars dur-ing the Lang regime.

It was quite obvious that the unem-ployment funds had been illegally usedbecause of^ the Government's impecun-iosity in latter months.

"DINNER CRASHERS"RESTAURANT MENACETROUBLE IN LONDON

LONDON, 20th May.West End restaurants have declared

war on "Dinner Crashers."Menand women dining in well-known

restaurants, hotels, and night clubs havebeen signingbills which after the mealthey refuse to pay.

The trouble began with the borrow-ing of the idea which Parisians adopt-ed to popularise new restaurants andcabarets by establishing a free list forsocial butterflies.

The West End proprietors particular-ly invited bright young people andother customers, who were expected toattract smaller patrons.

Eventually the free-list patrons abus-ed their invitations and refused to takethe hint when the maitre d'hotel pre-sented the bill for cocktails and, dinnerwines. 'The proprietors of therestaurants arecombining in self-defence, forming ablack list, suing offenders, and limitingthe free dinner credit to £15.

One well-known establishment hasoutstanding dinner bills of £3000, ofwhich only £150 is realisable.

Hotel habitues, trading on the beliefthat their presence ia a good advertise-ment, include a nobleman who ran upa bill for' £100 for himself and threeservants and departed without paying.

Dr. Bruening told the President thathe wanted a long rest which is inter-preted to mean that he wishes to beexcluded from the Cabinetnegotiations.

President Hindenburg has begun con-sultations with the party leaders in turnaccording to their strength in the Reich-stag.

TOWARD HITLERISM

DRIFT OF ELECTORATE

FUNDAMENTAL REASON(Received 31st May, 1 p.m.)

BERLIN, 30th May.The drift of the electorate towardHitlerism is regarded as the funda-mental reason why President Hinden-burg has abandoned Dr. Bruening,though the immediate cause was theCabinet plan to assign part of big pri-vate estates for a settlement of theunemployed.

It will not be easy for President Hin-denburg to find,a man to replace Dr,Bruening. i

Herr.Hitler hurriedly broke loS hispropaganda tour and returned to Berlinand had a conference with PresidentHindenburg. It is understood thatHerr Hitler made a dissolution of theReichstag^ and a General Election adefinite condition of the Nazis enteringthe Cabinet. There are indications,however, that President Hindenburg isunfavourable to Nazi Government untilafter tho Lausanne Conference.

INTERFERENCEBY MILITARY LEADERS

APPEAL TO PRESIDENT

BEBLIN, 30th May.President Hindenburg and Dr.Bruening^had a momentqus conference

on the political situation on Sunday,which wasrenewed to-day.The_ emergency decree to meet thefinancial crisis is causing difficulties,particularly the proposed curtailment ofwar pensions' to wounded ex-service-men, widows, and orphans. The tradeunions are insisting that the new taxeswhich the emergency decree would levyon all workers to help the unemployedshall not be placed on small incomes,the unions holding that the wealthymust bearMhe larger burden.

In view of these difficulties and thenearness of the Lausanne Conference,Dr. Bruening wanted an. assurance thatPresident Hindenburg was supportingthe Government policy, and asked fora pledge that the President would nottolerate interference by militaryleaders with the Government's admin-istration. ■ )

There can be no doubt that since theresignation of Herr Groener, Ministerof Defence, a group of Generals headedby yon Schleichter, has been, trying' todrive a wedge between Dr. Brueningand President Hindenburg.

It has been suggested that Generalyon. Schleichter may be removed fromthe political area by transfer to thecommand of an army, corps; otherwisehe will be a candidate for the DefenceMinistry. "BACK TO ABSOLUTISM

urally' watch with interest any inter-national discussions on trade, there wasno indication here on Sunday that theGovernment will enter such discussionsin connection with theLausanne Repar-ations Conference as are proposed bythe British Prime Minister. The coun-try's position has been that it is forEurope itself to consider the repara-tions problem, and there is nothing toindicate that a broadening of the Lau-sanne Conference such as Mr. Mac-Donald proposes would modify theposition.

THE EGYPT'S BULLION

ATTEMPT AT; SALVAGE

FIRST GLIMPSE OF BOXES(Times Cable.)

LONDON, 30th May.The aivers formerly on the Italian

salvage ship Artiglio have started againon the work of salvaging thebullion inthe sunken P. and O. liner Egypt. Theyhave removed nearly the whole of theroof of the bullion room and have be-gun bringing its contents to the sur-face.

No gold or silver has yet been re-covered, as the bullion chests arecovered by broken wood and otherdebris, but a diver caught the firstglimpse of the boxes piled in tiers in-side the room.

As the bullion room is between thebaggage rooms under the first-classsaloon, the divers' grab is raising acurious assortment of lost property.This includes a rusty and broken cash-box containing a dozen mixed coins, aloaded Mauser automatic pistol, a set ofgolf clubs, a battered silver sauce-boat,and a pair of greywoollen sox.

The P. and O. liner Egypt, carryingmore than £1,250,000 worth of bullion,sank on 20,th May, 1922, after a colli-sion with the French cargo boat Seine,in 450 feet of water. An. Italian sal-vage company has been endeavouringfor three years to recover the treasurein the sunken vessel's hold. The lossof the salvage steamer Artiglio by anexplosion, through an effort to removeanother sunken steamer laden with warmunitions, did not deter the Italiansproceeding with the salvage of theEgypt's treasure by a sister salvageship, the Eostio. Specially equippeddivers have succeeded in blasting away through decks to the strongroomwhere the bullion lies.

OTTAWA, 29th May.Meetings of the Dominion Cabinetwill now be devoted to a considerableextent to preparations for the ImperialEconomic Conference. It is doubtfulhowever, whether much information ofan official nature regarding prepara-tions will be made public.

It is suggested by those in closetouch with* the Ministry that the Gov-ernment is onxious to avoid prematurediscussions on subjects which will comeup at the Conference. It felt that long-range discussion over the cables nowmight militate against the success ofthe Conference when delegates talkthings over face to face.

For example, there is the attitude ofthe Canadian Government in connectionwith the dispute^ between the BritishGovernment and the Irish Free StatePresident, Mr. E. de Yalera, over theOath of Allegiance. No wordhas comefrom the Canadian Government one wayor the other.\"The Constitution of the Irish FreeState is,modelled after the CanadianConstitution, and Canada has livedmuch longer under it than has the IrishFree State," declared one Governmentofficial. ''It does seem reasonable thatCanada might be very helpful in smoth-ing out the situation, and that is why,unlike some other Dominions, Canadahas taken no part in the controversy.She wants to be Ifree to help if shecan without prejudice to her usefulnessby a premature expression of opinion."

" . ' RUGBY, 30th May.The situation in India during th»

past week was reviewed by the Secre-tary for India, Sir Samuel Hoare, in.an answer to a question in the Houseof Commons. As. regards the civildisobedience movement, there has beenlittle change. Attempts have beeamade in one or two provinces to rousainterest and' create, trouble by holdingprovincial conferences to confirm -.theresolutions, to pass which an attemptwas made at the recent Delhi session.

During the week/there was a renewalof communal rioting in Bombay City.The latest information is to the'effectthat the position, is still unsatisfactory.The affected areas are-being patrolledby the military. The return of troopsbrought into the city has been 'sus-pended and the number of motorpatrols has been increased. ;

Sir Samuel Hoare said, that the in«quiry into complaints against/policeofficers at Benares, who were accusedof maltreating anumber of young"girls,had been, completed by the DistrictMagistrate and all the men chargedhad been honourably acqnitted. ' Itappeared that eight women, who werearrested for causing disturbances, werereleased after one hour's detentioawhen investigation had shown thatthey were not persons of any import*ance. Evidence at the inquiry indi-cated that throughout the proceedingsthe women had been merely tools in.the hands of the assistant manager ofa paper in which the allegations werefirst published. The District Magis-trate concluded that the whole caseagainst the police was false, that thestory of women being whipped wasfalse, that the alleged beating 'had :aottaken place,'and that there was littledoubt that the whole business was'con-cocted for political purposes in revengeor to deter the police from dealingwitß?women volunteers. :

REPLY TO CRITICISM

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "The Evening Post.")

AUCKLAND, This Day.Criticism of tho personnel of the New

Zealand delegation to the Imperial Eco-nomic Conference at Ottawa has drawncomment from Mr. W, Goodfollow, who"will represent tho dairy industry at theconference.

"I regret that thero have been 6trongprotests against the inclusion'/of theBight Hon. J. G. Coates in the delega-tion," said M*r. Goodfellow last evening."Most of the statements made in thatconnection, aie contrary to fact, and arevery unfair. It has been stated that Mr.Coates has pushed himself in for por-sonal reasons. This is absolutely Un-founded. Indeed, tho producers of thoDominion had the greatest difficulty inpersuading Mr. Coates that it .was hisduty to go to Ottawa. He refused atfirst, but subsequently agreed to recon-sider the matter.

SIR JAMES PARR ALSO."About six weeks ago the most repre-

sentative deputation possible of allprimary producers waited on the Cabi-net Ottawa committee and urged thatboth Mr. Forbes and Mr. Coates shouldgo, and that on account of his specialqualifications Sir James Parr should boincluded. That deputation representedtho Dairy Board, the Meat Board, allthe dairying associations throughoutNcsv Zealand, the Farmers' Union, thoWoolgrowers' Association, the FruitBoard, and the pig industry. " The pro-ducers want Mr. Coates to go, and ap-parently the secondary industry interestswant Mr. Stewart," said Mr. Goodfel-low. '"Mr. Stewart may suit the manufac-turers and the banks, but ho will notsuit the farmers, and the suggestionmade in, some quarters that he shouldbe the sole representative of this Do-minion at Ottawa is preposterous. Onemight ask why Sir James Parr, the bestqualified man in the Dominion for ajob of this sort, has been omitted,"added Mr. Goodfellow. "He at least isboth able and willing to go, and wouldget something. done."

MR. POLSON SUGGESTED

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)WANGANUI, This Day.

It is the opinion of business peoplehere that Mr. W. J. Poison, M.P.,Dominion prosident of tho Farmers'Union,,should be included in the Ottawadelegation, for the reason that, apartfrom being head of theFarmers' Union,lie is in his private capacity one of thebiggest wool growers, lamb fatteners,and dairy farmers in the Dominion. Heis also an. ex-riewspaper man, and hisexperience on world finance gained asSpecial Government Commissioner,^forrural credits would prove invaluable inframing an. Empire currency pro-gramme.

MEN ON RELIEF WORK

PAYMENT IF INJURED

BOARD OR LOCAL BODY ?

A suggestion has been made by theOtahuhu Borough Council that a com-bined effort should be made by the localtodies to induce the . UnemploymentBoard to alter the existing system un-der which each local body has to obtaininsurance cover for all men employedby it under the No. 5 scheme against'claims .under the ■Workers Compensa-tion Act... The Petone Borough Coun-cil last night approved of the sugges-tion and decided to pass it on to themember of the district, Mr. W. Nash,SLP., to refer to the Government.

The Otahuhu Council, in its letter,Stated that it thought the present sys-tem was anomalous.' The Unemploy-ment Board found each man with aspecified number of days' work a week,and while he was in good health con-tinued to do so by arranging with alocal body to employ him. But if aman met .with an accident on relief■work he ceased to be a charge on the■board andbecame a charge on the localT)ody concerned. This was unfair tothe local body and unfairto the worker,whq, during his incapacitation, receivedonly_ two-thirds of- the average: wagereceived prior to the injury.

It was suggested that the Unemploy-ment Board should find no difficulty incontinuing to pay relief workers whileincapacitated. The board could pro-tect itself against fraud by obtainingmedical certificates and reports fromemployers, as was done by\the insur-ance companies. The suggestion cov-ered only cases of disablement involv-ing weekly compensation and did notrefer to cases of death or permanentpartial or total disablements involvinglump sum payments of compensation.This need not be fatal to the propos-als, as. if the board would not acceptits responsibility, in those cases thelocal b. lies could arrange for insur-ance at much cheaperrates than at pre-sent if there was no need to insureagainst claims foj weekly compensa-tion. Cases of death or serious injuryto relief workers were rare thoughminor injuries involving weekly com-pensation were common enough.AH previous efforts to induce theUnemployment Board to shoulder itsresponsibilities in the matter of insur-ance, had been met with, the reply thatitwas a matter offinance ana that theboard could not undertake any addi-tional-financial burdens. The OtahuhuCouncil considered that its proposalswere not open to that objection as theboard would not have to meet any ex-penditure in' addition to the weeklypayments to unemployed workers forwhich it haa to budget in any case.

OLYMPIC GAMES

LOVELOCK NOMINATED

N.Z.A.A.A. GIVING £70

DOMINION'S TEAM

I No time has been wasted by theCouncil of the New Zealand Ama-teur Athletic and Cycling Associationin taking steps with a view tothe inclusion in the New Zealandteam for the Olympic Games, at Los An-geles, of J. E. Lovelock, New ZealandRhodes Scholar, formerly of Otago Uni-versity, who, as previously reported in"The Post," registered a sensational per-formance* over the mile in England laßtweek. Lovelock has been nominated bythe council to the New Zealand Olympicand British Empire Games Association asa member of the New Zealand team, theintention being that he joins the team atLos Angeles.

In making the announcement to a"Post" representative, Mr. L. A. Tracy,secretary of the council of the N.Z.A.A.and C.A., said that a meeting of theAdministration Committee of the associa-tion had been held, at which it had beendecided that Lovelock's performance wellmerited his nomination being sent for-ward. The council was prepared to find£70 of the estimated expenses of £120,and it had been decided to send a tele-gram to the Otago Amateur AthleticCentre asking whether it could find theother £50. The money or guaranteewould, have to be in hand by 4th June.The original date so far as athletes wereconcerned was Ist June, but in view ofthe lateness of Lovelock's ,performanceand the merit.of it the' New Zealand Olym-pic and British Empire Games Associa-tion had agreed to extend the time inhis case to 4th June. .■ Present indications are that the NewZealand Amateur Athletic and CyclingAssociation will.be represented at theGames by J. E. Lovelock (Otago, nowat Oxford), A. J. Elliot and W. J. Savidan(Auckland), S. A. Black (New Plymouth),C. E. (Don) Evans (Taihape), and M.iss1. Kench (Wellington). Two cyclists,R. Foubister " (Auckland) and R. Ulmer(Wellington), were also nominated. Thecouncil is prepared to make a grant of£50 towards Foubister's expenses, and, ifsteps are taken (as they have been in the:cases o£ Miss Kench and Evans) to findthe balance of the money required to sendhim, Foubister will also be included inthe team. . , -~>.'

In any event New Zealand's team atLosAngeles will be larger than originally an-ticipated. There will be ten oarsmenwith acoxswain and a coach, three boxers,and, as mentioned previously, a good re-presentation of athletes. Mr. P. N.Rundle (Dunedin) is the manager, andthe team will also be accompanied by thewell-known starter of athletic events, Mr.T. W. ■ ("Dome") Leslie, and severalothers, including Mr. J. W. Heenaiij senr,who willbe closely attached to the' boxersin the party. The team sails from Wel-lington by the Monowai on 14th June.

OTAGO'S ATTITUDE

RATION ISSUEBUT NOT FOR ALL

TWO BOARDS DIVIDE WORK

TO-MORROW'S CHANGE

The issuo of rations—in cases whororations are to be issued—will bedivided to-morrow between the Unem-ployment Board, which will handle allable-bodiod unemployed men willing towork, and the Hospital Board, whichwill deal with all those who havomedical certificates of unfitness for thowork which tho Unemployment Boardis offering. There is at the moment,since the resignation of the executiveof the "Wellington Citizens' Committeo,no body to which cases which are onthe. borderline of necessity may be re-ferred. The Unemployment Bureauhas, however, been remodelled and itsstaff.strengthened to take tho extraburden of work put upon it, and asmuch .of the information on which theHospital Board worked in necessitouseases camo in the first place from theworking cards at the bureau, there willbe little that the officers at the Bureaudo not know about the people withwhom they are dealing. In any case,some of the officers from tho HospitalBoard have been added to the Bureaustaff. It is not anticipated that anydifficulties will be experienced.

It is not a case of everybody gettingrations in addition to the new scale ofrelief payments, but the Minister haspromised that, in addition to the scaleof relief which is provided, in caseswhere there are special circumstances,additional relief will be granted, anda special allocation has been made tothe officer in charge of the distributionof relief for this purpose. The Un-employment Board has agreed to takeover the responsibility for the reliefof the able-bodied unemployed who arewilling to work. If workers producea medical certificate that they are notcapable of carrying out the type ofwork the board has to offer, it doesnot mean that these men will not gotrelief, but that they will obtain itfrom the Hospital Board, and- notfrom the Unemployment Board. Wherorations are issued the recipient willnominate has ■ own tradespeople, andwill go to His own store in the ordinaryway, the authority for the ration beingsent to the storekeeper when it is due.It is understood that' in cases wholea medical certificate is held,-a certainsum will be allowed for rent.

THE SINGLE UNFIT."Sympathiser" writes:—"ln your

issue of some days ago mention wasmade of a meeting of the . AucklandRelief Committee with reference to theunfortunate position o£ beUyeen sixandseven hundred single men in that cityfor whom no work or relief could befound. A similar state of things existshere and in other centres to a more orless degree. Now, Sir, why should thesemen be denied relief simply becausethey are unfitted for pick and shovelwork? Haven't they as much right toassistanco as the fit men? Many ofthose unfit men are no doubt skilledtradesmen in their own. particular lino.The Government evidently intends tosuppress lawlessness'with; a firm hand,but in depriving these men of relief insome form or other, they are certain-ly inconsistent, and are simply askingfor trouble, as I take it that no sanoman, fit; or otherwise, is going to 'calm-.ly sit down and starve." ' :

The reply of a member oi, the board;to the above letter was that in caseswhere a single man had a certificate ofunfitness he was, allowed,a ration, orelse he was placed at some institution

i where his keep was paid by the Hospi-tal Board. The . Hospital- Board wasasked to be responsible for the examina-tion of the singlo men, in which casathe Unemployment Board was prepar-ed to accept the certificates. Difficultyarose, however, in the fact that theman came in the first place with a certi-ficate from some other doctor, and thequestion of professional etiquette pre-vented the examination by the HospitalBoard's officers. There, were no feworthan 580" medical certificates of unfit-ness issued to single unemployed men.The responsibility for all able-bodiedsingle men, .willing to work, had nowbeen taken over by the UnemploymentBoard. The man who could produce amedical certificate to the effect that howas unable to carry out the work thoUnemployment Board offered was notasked to starve, but would receive relieffrom the Hospital Board.

COST TO FOUR CENTRES.Asked what additional relief would

be afforded Jbo_ the four main centresand their contiguous boroughs under thenew scheme, a member of the Unemploy-ment Board stated that the increasedallocations, with the \ same number ofregistrations, would amouilt to £.8000a week, or £416,000 a year. Previous-ly, under the old scale, the worker losttime.through wet weather, and also lostthrough various reasons which it wasproposed to overcome under thoj newscheme. -Previously the four main cen-tres and their boroughs spent £3000 aweek, or £156,000 a year. The addi-tional relief it was nbw proposed to findfor those in special circumstances was£6200 a year. The total amount nowavailable for unemployed, men in thefour centres and their boroughs was,therefore, £634,000 a year, but fromthat must be deducted what tho Hos-pital Boards had formerly expended forthe relief of the able-bodied unemploy-ed. Wellington had spent under thish.ead £50,000 a year (more than anyother centre). Assuming that all thecentres and their inclusive boroughshad spent on a basis of £50,000 a year,the four centres would have spent£200,000, which, deducted from thetotal, would 1eave.£434,000. If it couiabe shown in spite of the expenditureof that sum between tho various cen-tres that some of the unemployed work-ers in Wellington were worse off underthe now Bcheme, it would only provehow well off they were before as com-pared with other centres.

"BREACH OF FAITH"ALLEGATION BY MR. NASH

'In this matter the Government isguilty of,a complete breach of faith."said Mr. W. Nash, M.P., at Lower Huttlast evening; when speaking on therations question. "From what I canlearn the only relief workers who willbe given any rations are the marriedmen with no children and the marriedmen with more than four children. Yeton 11th May, when the trouble occurredin Wellington, Mr. Coates stated: 'Incases where it is found that therelief which is directly earned is in-sufficient reasonably to provide for theveal necessities of life, additional sus-tenance will be given to the extent thatthe board's funds will allow,'and Mr.T. C. A. Hislop, Mayor of Wellington,in making astatement in regard to thepromise made by Mr. Coatos, said, 'Itappeared from what the Ministersaid_ that rations are to be given inaddition to the money, and as I under-stand it when all the men are backthey will be getting thoir pay and get-ting rations as before.'"'

"In. spite of this, I am informed bya Hospital officer that the Governmentis taking over the issuing of rationsfrom Ist June, and that the only ones

who will receive rations are, as I have-said, married men with, no childrenand men with more than fourchildren."

Mr. Nash said that if rations werenot given the men would in - nearlyevery case be worse off under the nowrates than they wero under the old.

Mr. Nash deprecated the use of vio-lence, and said it got men nowhere tobreak the windows of inoffensive shop-keepers; it was the act of unthinkingmen led by hooligans. "If, however,the Government is going to deny menfood and shelter, how can you expectthem to think?" he asked in conclu-sion.

THE NEW ORDER

SUPPLY OF RATIONS

MINISTER'S STATEMENTWhen interviewed to-day the Minis-ter of Employment (the Eight Hon. J.

G. Coates) said that some misunder-standing, seemed to exist as to the ex-tent to which this form of assistancewill be given and to whom it can begiven. "It is hot proposed," said theMinister, "that the, UnemploymentBoard shall deal with all those who inthe past have obtained assistance fromthe Hospital Board, but the relief willbe confined to those employed by theUnemployment Board as relief workers.The Hospital Board will, as in the past,continue to care for the needs of oldage pensioners and the dependants ofindigent single men. The Unemploy-ment Board's funds are by no meansunlimited," said the Minister, "but tothe full extent that the funds will al-low ration relief will be given; in thosecases which, upon consideration, arefound to be specially deserving.^'When questioned as to what stepswould require to be taken by a reliefworker to obtain rations,. Mr. Coatessaid the system decided upon wouldwork as smoothly as could be expectedupon the change-over. Briefly, the pro-cedure is that a relief workerdesiring to obtain rations maycall at the nearest Post ' Of-fice an« ther obtain' an appli-cation form which calls for a state-ment of his ease. The completed formis then returned to the Post Officeand from there is forwarded to theUnemployment Bureau. The applica-tion is decided upon and the decisionon what relief, if any, is to be givenis then communicated to the Post Officenominated by the applicant as beineconvenient to his place of- residence."Che postmaster will communicate thedecision to the applicant, who will beadvised at the time he first hands inhis application of the day when heshould call to ascertain the result Ifthe decision is that the applicant shouldget ration relief, the Post Office thereand then issues orders redeemable ingroceries, bread, meat, and milk, atthose shops nominated by the appli-/cant. Thejße food order dockets -will; inturn, be redeemable in. cash by theshopkeeper on periodical applicationto the Unemployment Relief OfficerMr. Coates said it was realised thatmany shopkeepers had been assistingtheir old customers who at present wereunemployed, and it was .felt that theapplicant should be enabled to obtainhis ration supplies from those shop-keepers. There is," however, no com-pulsion in the matter, and the reliefworker may nominate any store he de-sires. .-"■"■"■

TOO GREAT A.BURDEN(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

AUCKLAND, This Day.' A strong criticism of the refusal bythe Labour Department to permit menclassed as unfit for camps to be em-ployed on relief work by local bodieswas voiced by the chairman of theAuckland Hospital Boardj Mr. W. Wal-lace. .He said that the position had beenmade intolerable. If the hospital boardshad to assist all unfit men, they, wouldbe unable to carry on.

STORMS AT SEAGOLDEN BEAR BUFFETEDBeset by heavy.south-west gales, the

American steamer Golden Bear wasseverely buffeted for.nearly i week be-fore her arrival at Auckland from LosAngeles. The Golden Bear arrived atWellington this morning. At the heightof the storm a portion of the vessel'sdock cargo shifted, and speed had to-be reduced until it'had been made fast'with extra lashings.

The Golden Bear, formerly known -asthe West Cajoot, sailed from XiosAngelesoor 30th April. In addition togeneral cargo in her holds, the steamerhad on board approximately 3,500,000feet of lumber, most of it carried ondeck. -Fino weather was experienceduntil within seven days'' steam ofAuckland, when the first of a seriesof full south-west gales were encoun-tered. -.■.■"■..■ ■■ '. .:;'; ..■.-,:-

Heavy head seas caused the freighter"to pitch violently, and oarly on theevening of the second day of the stormabout 20 tons of lumber lashed withother timber on the foredeck shiftedtowards the stern. Apparently as theresult of the wild movements of theship, .some of the chain" lashings hadbecome slack, and. an immediate at-tempt had to bo made to secure themoving cargo. It would have been'impossible to do anything with theship bucking full speed into the storm,and the vessel's engines were sloweddown while the sailors set aboutputtingon extra lashings. After she had beensteaming with her engine room tele-graph sot at "slow" for three hours,the. Golden Bear was again able tohead, irito the storm at full speed, thecargo that had shifted having' beenmade fast.

It was estimated that the seas thataccompanied^ the gale were 20 feethigh. The lumber carried forward wasstacked almost as high as the level ofthe bridge deck, and that aft nearlyflush with the boat deck. Seas whichbroke over the bow.sent up huge sheetsof spray,'the water running, off thotop of the deck cargo. Officers on thebridge were not high enough to dodgethe spray, and heavy navy-blue over-coats appeared white with salt whenthe water had dried out of them. Nodamage was done to the ship.

DISMISSAL OF MR. LANGEFFECT ON BUSINESS

The dismissal of the :Lang Govern-ment in New South Wales had its ef-fect on business shortly* after the an-nouncement was made. Dr. E. L. Fitz-gerald, who arrived in New Zealand to-day by the Marama from Sydney totake up an appointment as residentmedical officer at the Pleasant ValleySanatorium, Palmerston South, told a"Post" representative that in the firstweek following the dismissal of theLang Government the manager of onebig department store in Sydney re-ported that in one particular de-partment the sales increased by £400,and during that same week a numberof people who had not bought anythingon account for over twelve monthsoperated on their accounts. "Every-body seems to think it is definitely theturning of the corner," said Dr. Fitz-gerald,

"F.W.W." writes from Auckland,with regard to his statement in a ro-cent article on the late Hon. W. P.Reeves as to the members of the Parlia-mentary Press Gallery of Mr. Beeves'sday, that another survivor from thatperiod is Mr. \Y. H. Atack, till latelymanager of the United Press Associa-tion, who then regularly represented hisassociation in the gallery.

BANK INTEREST

REDUCTION TO-MORROW

OVERDRAFT RATE LATER

Eeductions are to bo made by theAssociated Banks in deposit rates onand aftor Ist Juno (to-morrow). Therates of interest allowed on fixed de-posits lodged after 31st May will beas follows:—On deposits for any periodbetween three and six months, 3 percent, por annum; for any period be-tween six and twelve months, 3J percent.; for any period between twelvoand twenty-four months, 3} per cent.;for twenty-four months, 4 per cent.

The above reduction does not, ofcourse, affect current fixed deposits. Thebanks will continue to pay the higherrates borne by those deposits whichwill mature during a period of up totwenty-four months. For this reason itis necessary that there should be somedelay in reducing .interest ratos on ad-vances.

With regard to interest rates and ad-vances, as from 31st August "next, suit-able adjustments of rates—\ per cent,in the average—will be made, and as asimilar. reduction was made on IstNovember, 1931, this will make a reduc-tion of 1 per cent. 'These reductions are being made forthe purpose of co-operating with theGovernment in its legislation for ageneral reduction of interest rates,.andwith other special reductions made innecessitous cases the total reductionwill be considerably greater than 1per cent.

It will not be for fourteen monthsyet that the full benefit of the previousreduction in fixed deposit rates madeon Ist August, 1931, will accrue to thebanks. . ' .

In addition to this, the associatedbanks are financing the Government ata rate of interest which affords a baremargin piprofit.Attention is again drawn to the factthat with a minimum advance or over-draft rate at 6 per cent, per annum, and

5 per cent, per annum being payableon current twenty-four months depositsuntil July, 1933, there is a margin ofbut 1 per cent. in>respeet of,the latter(and their total is understood to be con-siderable). This, however, is reducedby the incidence of the banks' incometax of rather more than 8s 9d per cent,per annum on the deposits and another8s 9d per cent per annum on the ad-vances, to below 2s 6d per cent, perannum, which barely leaves any marginfor profit in the sums so involved.

SUBSIDISED WAGESBUILDING TRADE SCHEME

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) ,AUCKLAND, 30th May.

Tho new scheme by which the Un-employed Board will subsidise thowages of certain skilled unemployedmen to enabletheir reabsorption in thobuilding industry is already meetingwith gratifying response, according tothe Minister of Employment, the Et.Hon. J. G. Coates, who passed throughAuckland on his return to Wellington.Mr. Coates said that although thoscheme had only just been announced,(he had received many inquiries frompotential employers under . the scheme.IHe had .received- one offer involving£20,000,.worth' of labour. 5

Coates said the actual amountof wages received by the men engagedunder the scheme would be a matterror arrangement, between the employerand ;the men themselves. Judgine bythe number of. telegrams he had re-ceived offering employment under theseterms and asking for. further particu-lars, the, proposal .was being keenlywelcomed.: It would be the means ofproviding a-number of skilled men withsomething more satisfying than pick andshovel work, and with employment thatwould return them a better wageOther schemes of, relief 'workthroughout the country were proceed-Sflp/"1^. satisfaotor«yV Mr. Coatesadded.

(By telegraph.)(Special to "The Evening Post.")

lv- I" *":,* DUNEMN, This Day.Master builders generally express dis-satisfaction with the Government's newscheme'for the subsidising of the ind-ustry from the Unemployment Fundproportionately to the additional, num-ber of men engaged from the unemploy-ment register. The opposition to thescheme is based principally on the con-ditions imposed, though one contractorasserts that master men should take upa definitelyhostile attitude towards thescheme, which- he claims will not bebeneficial to tradesmien and will bedetrimental to. the best interests of theemployers, who have already a hardrow to hoe to make ends meet.The scheme wouldmean a definite at-tack on tradesmen's /wages. While theaverage carpenter's wage was £4 11s

8d for a forty-four hour week, thenew scheme would induce home ownersand others to employ men so as to re-ceive the full amount of the subsidynamely 22s 6d, on a wage of- £3 7s Cd.The clause relating to' permanent em-ployees provided the hardest' feature ofthe scheme, for it meant fhat. contractorswho employed permanent hands Nwouldnot be able to receive a subsidy andwould consequently be penalised.

WAR GRAVESWELL LOOKED AFTER

GALLIPOLI AND FRANCE

A.FEW EXCEPTIONSEeturning to New. Zealand, for the

first time since he vleft with the'MainBody in 1914, Mr. A; W. Mildenliall,who since 1919 has been representingNew Zealand on the.: Imperial WarGraves Commission in Gallipoli,.France,1and Belgium, arrived at Wellington to-day by the Marama from Sydney. Mr.Mildenhall, who was' accompanied by'his wife, was among the first men: toleave the Dominion for the war, and isthe last to return.

For the past thirteen-ye'ars Mr. Mil-clenhall has been superintending theconstructional work'of war cemeteriesabroad, and in an-interview with a"Post'_' representative to-day he saidthat with the exception of a few'iso-lated cases,: the graves of New Zea-landers and allßritish soldiers in Gal-lipoli,' France; and Belgium -are well'looked after, and in an excellent condi-tion. The few isolated cases wherethe graves were neglected were in theFrench civil cemeteries. : '". . 'Mr. Mildenhall personally superin-tended the erection of the memorial tothe New Zealanders &i Ohun.uk Bair,Gallipoli; where he was stationed forfive, years. " The constructional workand graves at Gallipoli were in an" ex-cellent condition, he said. Although noflowers could; be grown,' indigenousshrubs had been planted, and thesewere growing .very well. The monu-ments over the graves were constructedof stone that'came from the same,quarry that supplied the stone for theWalls of Troy, built before the time ofChrist. With the'exception of the first,two coursesfrom the ground these wallswere still in a perfect condition, andshowed no signs of deteriorating; there-fore, there was So reasontto fear thatthe_ constructional .work in the ceme-teries at Gallipoli would.not remain ina good condition. ."-

After leaving Gallipoli, Mr. Milden-hall was stationed :at Albert, on theSommej for eighteen - moriths.7 -Whilein that district he did a considerableamount of work in connection with thegraves of NewZealanders. From- Albert,he went to Bethune, later.being trans-ferred to Alsace-Lorraine, where he sup-erintended the construction .of ceme-teries of British prisoners of war. ...

TEEATMENT OF BRITISHPRISONERS.

Many harrowing stories, he said,weretold by ..the Alsatians about -the Ger-man treatment of the British woundedprisoners. According to the storiessome of the British were literally starv-ed to death.: THe Germans had verylittle food themselves, and the Britishprisoners suffered-accordingly, and pro-,bably to a much greater -extent. AtThionville1 there was a German campknown as the ,reprisals camp, whereBritish prisoners received the w,orsttreatment. This was on account of theGermans hearing reports that German-prisoners were being badly treated by

■the British and French soldiers,'During, his term in Alsace-Lorraine,

Mr. Mildenhall superintended the erec-tion of numerous7'headstones on .'thegraves of 'soldier's who had died while,en route to England after theArmisticehad been declared.' V '< .< >

Mr. Mildenhall was next transferredto Soissons, 100 kilometres.;,.east; ofParis, -where he .completed the Marfauxcemetery, in which several membere ofthe New Zealand Cyclists' Corps "areburied. A small plaque in the: shelterof the cemetery building commemoratesabout ten New Zealanders who have' noknown grave's.

BATTLE IN MIST AND MURK

ESCAPE OF GERMANFLEET

To-day is the sixteenth anniversaryof the Battle of Jutland, the one greatnaval engagement of the Great War.

As. the result of intercepted wirelessmessages the Grand Fleet was orderedout to sea ou 30th. May, 191$, in the .hope of intercepting the German HighSeas Fleet. At 2,20'p.m. next day. ourbattle-cruiser fleet sighted hostile ships ;JUld.at once altered course to close withthem. By 3.20 p.m. the German battle-cruisers, (five in number) were aight'edand twenty-five minutes later were en-gaged with our ships. ' !

Admiral Beatty (in'command) hadwith him six "battle-cruisers and-fourlatest 'and fastest' battleships, ■■ whichgave him a considerable margin' ofsuperiority, but his forces were broughtinto action piecemeal, and before thabattle Bquadron'could'exercise any in- -fluence on the action the Indefatigiblehad blown up. aa^the result of a shellpenetrating to her magazine. At 4.15p.m. the four battleships were in action,with almost immediate effect] but withina few minutes the;-Queen Mary, hermagazine fired bya plunging salvo, hadblown up also. To ease the pressure ofthe battleships tKe German destroyer'snow advanced; to' attack, but were met ,and crushed by our, own destroyers.Almost at this moment the German"Battle Fleet was sighted and AdmiralBeatty turned and ran north to leadthem on towards our main forces.

BEATTY AND JELLICOE. "" Meanwhile,on receiving informationof the presence of the-hostile battle-cruisers, Admiral Jellicoe' had orderedthe 3rd Battle. Cruiser Squadron to sup-port Beatty: At 5.27 p.m. a' light 'cruiser with this squadron suddenlyemerging from : a' bank of fog wascaught under the concentrated fire offour German cruisers. But the battle-eruisers were close at hand,1and in a.short time were pounding the hostilecruisers to pieces. Shortly afterwardsthe battle-cruisers, to avoid a destroyerattack, had to turn away and were at "' ■once caught by the van of the Ger-man Battle Fleet emerging from thamists. Within a few minutes the In-vinciblo was sunk and the Warrior andDefence; hastening up to the soundof the guns> blew up also. But our, '.'<Battle Fleet was now at hand and theGerman Fleet found all their attentionnecessary in thig-new direction. *Admiral Jellieoe had meanwhile beenconfronted with - a problem' of verygreat difficulty. Until he had defin-ite information of■ the ,position'anddirection of movement of "the Germanfleet he could not deploy; and" Beatty,on whom he depended for this informa-tion, was equally ignorant. -Time waspressing and the mist'androar of battleadded to his distraction/ At"6:l4: p.m.the main German' fleet appeared anddeployment was" ordered on the:-port / '<wing.: -;. ' " ■ r.''; : :'-. ■ ■GERMANS SHUTOFF FEOM BASES..This movement'was completed about6.38 p.m., but the action had already <commenced. Visibility was poor and 'the situation was still confused. Never-theless our shooting wasAgood akd about6.45 p.m. the Germans launched a tor-pedo attack tinder cover of which their 'battleships turned away, but as theGrand Fleet was between the' Ger-mans and their harbours, escape didnot lie that way, and-about 7 p.m, ttiaGerman admiral attempted to breakback across the place where he imag-ined the rear of our fleet would.be. -Instead he found the Grand Fleet stillbetween him and his bases and -wascaught at short range before he lcouldturn and get out of range. To coverthis movement he ordered1 his battle-cruisers and destroyers to attack;. Theformer especially received a veryrough,handling, but to avoid the concentratedtorpedo attack■ of the''destroyers, the.Grand Fleet was forced fo turn awayand, hidden by the mists and smoke ofbattle, the German fleet'was saved forthe moment. ' : " 'The problem had now become some-what complex from Admiral Jellieoe'sviewpoint.-"He was still between th»Germans and their bases, but the com-ing of darkness largely neutralised thatadvantage. A night action, unless theposition of one side be fixed (as in the!case, of the Japanese night attacks atPort Arthur) is largely decided by;chance. ~ Mutual support is practicallyimpossible since all fleet actions atnight must degenerate into single shipcombats.' Our light cruisers and de-stroyers were' therefore stationedastern of the Battl^ Fleet, thus inter-posing a screen some sixteen mileslong between the Germans and theircoast. .-■-■ "'.--. '■■■ ■■■■■..-". .:": 'GERMAN FLEET GETS AWAY.\ It was hoped that if the Germansturned and tried to break through ourline, they would be so roughly handledby our-destroyers that they would- sheer "off. and in any ease their presence wouldbe reported. - Hence they■ could thenbe dealt-with at daylight. /.Events worked out much as Admiral ■Jellieoe had anticipated. Throughout 'the night occasional- bursts of firingwere heard and messages came through,reporting ■' contact -with' the German,light cruisers'-and destroyers. Eventswere therefore shaping satisfactorilysince it seemed to the Admiral quiteimpossible for the German battle-fleetto pass our.light forces without beingsighted. lii-this he was correct. Theywere sighted, but their presence wasnot reported ti11.4.15 a.m., when.a mes-sage came through from the Admiralty.to the effect that the German fleet at2.30- a.m. ;was some sixteen miles fromthe Horn.<Eeef; By that time it wastoo late to intercept them and allthoughts of continuing the action hadto be abandoned. - '. ■ '■ ■-The German fleethaa escaped to r~-main ingloriously at harbour until soiujtwo years "later they ventured""forth,once more-^-this time "to surrender.

FROM THE ORIENT

JAPANESE VISITORSNAVAL TRAINING SHIPS

TO-DAY'S OFFICIAL

' ■.■": 'CALLS' .: 1Probably the first impression gained

by many of those who have visitedtho Japanese Naval' Squadron at thePipitea Wharf lias been that the crui-sers arc old-fashioned, if not obsolete,but it must' bo ,remembered thatalthough they. still rank as coastal de-fence warships, their ,usefulness howlies in the direction of providing train-ing facilities for cadets who will laterman the modern units of"the JapaneseImperial Navy.- In a modern engage-ment they .would be- outpaced, out-manoeuvred, and out-gunned, andthough- they carry a full armament andhavo seven-inch belts of armour, it isprobable that, they haye seen battle fOrthe last time.o ' ■ :V- . ' .

Whatever may be. thotfglifc of theships, there can be oniy one opinion asto the smartness and efficiency of theirpersonnel. Thei ships present a spickand span appearance'inside *and out,and orders.;are-carried '- out with 'theutmost precision. Scarcely " had' theships berthed'yesterday when men'weredetailed off to remove the traces of theTasman crossing ;with the paint ofwhich warships nover seem to be ableto have too much. The traditional, smil-ing courtesy of the Japanese; whichmakes them such charming hosts, wasmuch in evidence when ceremonialvisits were made. '~''. .

EMBLEMS OF JAPAN.-Although in its essentials one war-

ship is ;very much like another, theJapanese: vessels carry within themmany unique signs of nationality.JTor instance, in the Admiral's cabin,there are two ancient gnarled fir trees,of dwarf-like dimensions'.-There are twominiature landscapes ingeniously fash-ioned out of pebbles and sand, with asea view, and shrines and ships. Ona wall of the cabin is, a message writ-ten: by the renowned Admiral Togo.Unfortunately few of the officers haveany but a slight command .of English,and it was difficult for them to conveywhat the message meant,-although oneinterpretationwas that it meant "Con-sistency through, life."

On a previous cruise a nephew of theEmperor'of Japan was amongst thecadets^ but this time it is understoodthat there is no such princely figureamongthem. Qn the completion of thecruise the majority of the cadets willbe posted as officers ,to first and secondline ships. '...'■ . . ~ .

TEIP THAT WAS CANCELLED. :In an interview . after his arrival,

.Admiral N. Imamurasaid he was pleas-ed to visit New Zqaland because -hehad heard so many pleasant thingsabout it, and because in many -ways itresembled his native'land. He said he■was on his way, to this country 29years ago as> a midshipman inone of the ships of the train-ing squadron ■commanded by Vice-fAdmiral Eamimura, which Jeft Japanon a cruise which was to includeNew Zealand and Australia. After leav-ing Batavia for Freuiantle his ship wasbadly damaged in a. typhoon and ' somuch time' was lost that New< Zealandhad to be cut out of tho itinerary. Ecwas also pleased, to come here becauseNew^ Zealand''is a British:, Doniinioni

During the GreatAVar he had servedon board British battleships, in theGrand Fleet. Pour of his officers, hesaid, served as midshipmen in the shipsof the squadron which visited New Zea-land four years ago, and were glad.torevisit a country of which they hadmany pleasant memories.

A BUSY SCENERUSH AT G.P.O

The General Post Office, always busy,■was particularly' so to-day, a facfr par-tially accounted'for by td-niorrow beingthe first day of. June. That is tl>i!date by which every citizen fortunaffeenough to possess an income is requiredto furnish a return of his or her incomein-order that the tax on it may beassessed. Failure to'furnish a returnby to-morrow may load to trouble, andno one is particularly looking for moretrouble at the present time. So greathas been the last-minute rush for in-come tax forms that from soms centresSOS calls have been sent to Wellingtonfor more forms, and it.has been neces-sary to print additional supplies.

This morning's rush at the Post Of-fice, howeven, 'embraced other thanthose who had delayed their incometax return until the last day. Therewere'scores wishing, to pay unemploy-ment levies or to register, their motors,and at practically every counter therewas a long, queue of peoplo waitingtheir turn to be served. Most of thosewaiting were not there to buy any-thing; they were there to obtain infor-mation about some knotfy point in oneor more of the multitudinous formsthat the harassed citizen is expected tofill in and to which he is expected toappend his signature when declaringthat it is a statement true and com-plete in every particular.

NEW NUMBER PLATES

EEASONS FOR CHANGE

VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS

To-morrow every motor vehicle onthe road in New Zealand.will, or shouldbe, displaying new number plates; theybear black figures and, in many,cases,letters .also, _oii a yellow background.There are stringent financial -penaltiesfor every day a motor vehicle is usedwithout 'being re-registered.1

-~ The most noticeable thing about thehew registration plates is the inclusionof letters in many more cases than pre-viously. The serial numbers are differ-ent, and the new. numbers also, differ indesign. * . '.■■..

It is considered by traffic and policeofficers that the new plates will be muchmore legible by reason of .the new de-sign, and identification and classifica-tion for statistical purposes will bo con-siderably easigr on account of the pre-fixing letter.;; many faults..

For a considerable time officers ofthe Transport Department, haye realis-ed, that tile old platesshad many faults.For instanco the basis on which thonumbers were made was an oval, fromwhich the number 8. was "formed. Allthe curved numbers, therefore, had thesame type qf curve, and mud and dustcovering, say, the bottom half of a 9made it almost impossible to identifythe number. Officers of the Depart-ment haye given the matter much at-tention, and they have evolved a set ofnumbers in ■■■which-'each, is intrinsicallydifferent from the others. All thocurves in the hew numbers are dissimi-lar, and there is little chance of a 6being mistaken for an 8, to take one ex-ample,' even if, a considerable' portionof the number is obscured.

THE PREFIXING LETTER.'Another cause of complaint which theold plates gaveMse toy especially in theSouth Island; was the difficulty of read-ing and rememberingSsix figures, es-pecially if the time for observation waslimited. To obviate this difficulty themaximum number of integers put onthe new plates is five. The'schedule 1ofmotor cars in the Dominion, howevergoes into six,figures, and in tho newsystem alter plateNo.' 99,999was reach-ed it was decided to start afresh againprefixing the number, .for private cars!with the letter X. * This idea lent it-self, to expansion, and it wa's furtherdeveloped-, so that particular classesof vehicles ,were identified by moans ofa prefixing letter. Thus all vehiclesliable to pay heavy traffic fees have theletter H before the number. Lightvehicles, for which a special fee doesnot have to be paid, have L. Omni-buses . carry standing passengershave P, this letter being chosen for ob-vious reasons in preference to O. Ser-vice ears have a plate with an S, taxisT, and., so on. Government cars haveGOVT. as before, while vehicles usedfor road ,construction purposes onlyhave E, and. dealers' vehicles willretainthe letter D, as in the past. In eachclass the number series commences' at1, so that a multiplicity of numbershas been avoided. Under the new sys-tem the average of numbers on a platewill be about tliree, and probably onlyprivate cars and motor-cycles, and pos-sibly light vehicles which jdo not haveto pay heavy traffic fees, will have themaximum of'five numbers oh the plate.

PLATES ".REVERSED. ■ ■ ■'There is another obvious improvementin the'iiew plates. In the past, with thesimilarity of numbers, motorists'haveunwittingly turned- their plates upside,down or in some cases reversed one ofthem, so that a car has had differentnumbers on front and rear. There isnow no possibility of this, for. thosymbol which divides the numbers intothousands is.now placed on the.bottomof the plate, although the danger of areversal is not so great with five figuresas it was with six. - This symbol is tobe altered each year, so that it willnot now be possible for .those desirousof doingso to.repaint thiir numbers inthe colours of the current year. Thesymbol will instantly reveal the yearof registration. Where a. plate has aprefixing letter it will, of course, beimpossible for it to be turned about,for the letter always comes first.

Naturally, it was not until after agood deal of .experimenting that theengineers and daughtsmen responsiblefor the style of the new plates decidedupon^the present design, -and a definitedecision was not reached until thePolice Department and the local bodiesin the main centres had been consulted.The' verdict of those to whom the in-stant and easy identification of a car'snumber is of vital importance was un-■animoUG that the new plates are a greatimprovement on the old, and for statis-tical purposes, it was agreed, the nowsystem willresult in the saving of muchtime and labour, and, consequently, ofprimary, interest,in these times, mpney;

SESSION'S LAWSMR. NASH CRITICISES

The Concert Chamber in the KingGeorge Theatre was well filled lastevening when Mr. W. Nash, M.P., ad-dressed the electors of Lower Hutt. Mr.E. Maedonald occupied the chair.

" Mr. Nash spoke onthe Hues of his re-cent address at Petone, dealing in acritical niannor with legislation of thepast session. During the election cam-paign statements had been made by.the Labour' Party regarding the Gov-ernment's intention to cut salaries,wages, and pensions, and to increasethe unemployment tax, and though atthe time the Government had deniedthis, it had. all been. done.

.The repeal of the graduated land tax,,the method of granting aid to farmersfor fertilisers,-and the rebate to farm-ersfor rates were condemned as induce-ments for the farmers to vote for theGovernment. -Each of tho Acts passed during'thelast session was criticised in Sotail, andMr. Nash said that no more damaginglegislation had ever been passed thanduring the last three months.. Dealing with tho need to relieve un-employment Mr. Nash said that thetaxable capacity of the country had notbeen reached so long as those in heedwere not" Kgtting food, clothing, andshelter while others were getting morethan they needed.

Mr. Nash was accorded a vote ofthanks and confidence, and a motionwas also passed endorsing the petitionwhich callf'd upon the Government toresign. "OTAKI HEALTH CAMP

INTER-ISLAND RUGBY

CHANGE IN NORTH TEAM

POLLOCK INCLUDEDA change has been made in'the North

Island Eugby football team owing to amishap to^ ono of the chosen players,Farmer (Bay of Plenty). In a-matchin the Te Puke Sub-union Farmer dis-located a shoulder, and this is likely tokeep him out of action for some littletime. There is a doubt about the fit-ness of som&of the other players select-ed for tho inter-Island match atChristchureh next Saturday, but so faronly the one change has been made. Ina -recent match in Wangahui, Bullock-Douglas, one of the wing-thrcequartersfor the' North Island team, injured aknee, and thisprevented himfrom play-ing in a representative trial match lastSaturday. It was reported that the in-jury ''may keep him off the field ofplay for more than a week.or so.,^' Nt

Ball, the other North Island-wing-three-quarter, was also out of action lastSaturday, but he expects to bo fit forthe big game at Christehurch. It wouldbe bad-luck for him to miss this game,as an injury deprived him of the oppor;tunitylof representing;the North Islandlast year. SteereN (Hawkes Bay)' hasplayed but little football this seasonowing to an illness. However, he gavea good account of himself in a trialrepresentative 'match in. Hawkes Baylast Saturday. ■ ,' Farmer's place as second five-eighthsin the North Island team has beengiven to H. B. Pollock (Wellington).This means that all, of Wellington'sseven nominees will be required atChristchureh on '\ Saturday. AlthoughFarmer is to be regarded as very unfor-tunate, it is probable that Pollock's in-clusion will give much-jneeded improve-ment to the North Island rearguard., There appears to be a general im-pression that the Finlayson includedin the North Island team is the Auck-land player of. that name. This was theopinion held "; in . Auckland, but theAuckland iJugby Union has been, ad-vised that the player chosen is A. N.Finlayson, from North Auckland. Aswas,pointed, out in "The Post" yester-day, the/selected player is a brotherof A. and I.

PRICES OF ADMISSION

Further correspondence has been receiv-ed regarding the prices- of admission toRugby football matches. '"It is quite ap-parent that the Wellington Rugby Unionis determined not to reduce the shillingcharge to club matches, thjs in spite ofthe vast cut in wages,of thevaverage work-ing man, who is tho strongest supporterof the code/ writes "Late West Banker."By reducing the charge to sixpence, thecorrespondent believes that the numberof people.now attending^Athletic Park onSaturday afternoons could .be. trebled.Taking into account the' present hardtimes and the cost to many of getting tothe Park, there is justreason, in the. cor-respondent's opinion, for a reduction inthe present charge, and if this was doneit "would pleasantly surprise the Unionand give pleasure to those thousands, whoare now unable to: attend." It is,addedthat there would be no objection to thehigher, charges for representative matches.

GOOD RELATIONS"TRANQUILLITY OF PACIFIC"

ADMIRAL IMAMURA'SREMARKS

" The Wellington Botary Club enter-tained at luncheon to-day Vice-AdniiralImamura and th"c following officers ofthe Japanese cruisers:'—Captain S.Kasuga,. OaptainS. Okada, Paymaster-Captain T. Kuwakub'o, Commander S.Miwa, Lieutenant-Commander K.Hamanaka, and Engineer Lieutenant-Commander.X. Namba. The JapaneseConsul, ColonelItalia, was also a guest.

President Teagle extended a warmwelcome to thb-distinguished visitors,and remarked that Admiral Imamurawas present at the Battle of Jutland,and was well acquainted with AdmiralJellicoe. Reference was made tovisits of previous Japanese cruisers toWellington. Admiral Imamura, he said,was the representative of a nationwhich Britain had always been proudto acknowledge as friends. Japanfought, with Britain and Her allies inthe GreatWar, and a Japanese cruiserformed part of the escort of the MainNewZealand Expeditionary Force whenit left these shores. Mention was alsomade of the fact that Admiral Ima-mura was a personal friend of Ad-miral Togo, so famous in' recentJapanese history. -■■■~.">

THE ADMIRAL'S ADDRESS."I wish, first of .all, to thank you

for the honour you have conferred uponme by inviting me to this delightfulluncheon to-day. Particularly I deemit my great pride to have the chanceof meeting the; leading people of everyprofession and business in- such afriendly manner,'" said Yice:AdmiralImamura.

"Although I am not a Botarian,, Ihave always paid a high tribute to theprinciples and activities of your club-men, and have many. Botarian friendsin Japan, Mr. Togo, the former presi-dent of the Tokio Eotarians, being oneof them. You Botariaaa work on themotto, 'He who serves best profitsmost.' In a sense we seamen are Ko-tarians, too, and do our service on thesame principle You servo your countryas well as the world with internationalspirit and activities; and so do we our-solves, being the cosmopolitans of thesea. Indeed, Rotary is a good move-ment, as it brings all men and nationstogether, Eotary being a world asso-ciation.. "It is also a great pleasure for meto hoar that when the second PacificEotaxy Conference was held in Tokioan unusually 'large, number of yourdolegatos and their families wero pro-sent and returned home with a verygood impression of Japan, to say noth-ing of the great stimulus it gave tothe fraternity between both nations.

"The main' object of the presentcruise of my squadron is, of course, totrain the young midshipmen for theirfuture career, but being also here onan errand of goodwill and friendship,I sincerely hope that our present visitwill contribute, in any small measure,to tho furtherance of the good relationswhichnow so firmlyunite our two greatnations, upon whose shoulders largelyrests the tranquillity of tho Pacific."

The third annual show of the Welling-ton Alsatian Club will be held on 3rd■Tune in conjunction with the first NewZealand championship field 'trials' andmany of the Dominion's leading dogs willbe beuclied at the Winter Show ou thisoccasion.

Pahu, with K. Hawkins in the saddle,was first sent over the schooling hur-dles, which he jumped cleanly, thoughnot quite so fast as-on Saturday.

Then, with the lightweight, W-. E.Shand, substituted for Hawkins, Pahuwent out on to tho mile post on thecourse proper with Joie de Val (R. G.Bush),, and drew out at the finish ofthe trial to beat the mare attractivelyby a couple of lengths. Hisstime forthe full, journey was lmin 43 3-ssec,and for the last half-mile 51 4-ssec. Onthe strength ,of this effort Pahu ;maytake his place in the main flat handicapon the second day at Otaki.Vitaphone (Gunn) was going com-fortably a short length, infront of CapeParaki (J.-F. Nicholson) at the end ofhalf a mile in 49 4-ssec. Cape Parakiwent well,, too, without sign of reap-pearance of Saturday's trouble, and hewill probably take his place in Fri-day's maiden.

Aroma (B; J. Maekie) wound up hersequence of excellent gallops by beat-ing Eminent (S. Wilson) by a goodlength over half a mile in 49 l-ssec.It was a most satisfactory trial for amaiden who has not yet raced.

Azure (W. H. Jones) again demon-strated his speed by trouncing the un-raeed maiden, New Era, by six lengthsover three furlongs in 37 3-Ssep. Hehas lately been working very freely.Gunn will ride him, also Vitaphone, atOtaki.'

Thepace was solid over the final three fur-longs, which took 38 4-ssec. Black'Mintwas not accepted for Friday's race, but'may start on the second day.,

TRADE AND FINANCE

fRODUCE & MARKET REPORTS FROM DAY TO DAY

~ . AUSTRALIA TO-DAY"FINANCIAL NOSTRUMS'

J! "Evening Post," 31st May.-. Inthe course of a speech at the annualiine_eting of shareholders of the National-rßank of Australasia, ltd., held in Mcl-

" bourne last week, the chairman, Sir JohnGrice, said that Australia had made a sub-stantial beginning in the direction of eco-

nomic restoration. Australia might be saidto have turned an important corner, and

Jjad commenced to tread what we mightexpect to be a rough and stony path of, ■Jreformation. ......' "We may as well recognise," Sir John

"■ Grice continued, "that we shall assuredlynot accomplish our salvation by the use of,| ; artifice in any form; or by resort to any

j'. financial nostrums promising an easy way; out of.ourdifficulties. We may, however,

' achieve a great deal by hard work, trade, . enterprise, intelligent husbandry, and by1 lessened costs of production and living,; i especially if supplemented by a sound"- ' general national policy.:, . "No such national policy will be sound;; which does not recognise the interna-" tional character of trade, for if we want. . to sell we must be willing to buy. After; provision for the reasonable development

of home industries on a. basis of low costsof. trade, barriers should not be kept so■ ; high as to-prevent. the incoming at fair,! ■ prices of goods from other and friendly* " nations to whom we look to buy our own'"';... products.

"Self-determination carried too far is abad policy for any country, and if eventsot recent years point to anything at allthey most certainly indicate an outstand-

" . ing necessity for as much co-operation as.'... is possible, political and commercial, be-

tween the nations of the earth, so as to;' ; avoid the troubles -which beset and" threaten us all."

WAIHI MINE

BUTTER FOR GLASGOW.

" The Empire Dairy Council reports thatGlasgow has been doing extraordinarily■well during recent mdnths in sales of NewZealand butter. Therefore it was par-".. iijcularly .appropriate that the new sluice;"— gate for the Arapuni hydro-electric schemeh~- should have been built by Messrs. Glen-£: field and Kennedy, of Kilmarnock, who

£■"; Jttispatched the machinery by the Karamea.',- ■■ Iff view of the fact that in a single year", ' the imports of New Zealand butter;■' through the port of Glasgow have more|=. than doubled, it must be freely admitted,1; that Scotland has made a generous ges-;;- \ ture in this "swapping" of butter forj..' sluice gates. The Empire ■Dairy CouncilI* -was quick to draw attention to this prac-!;: tical example of the value of intra-Empire..'. trade, and Sir William Wayland, M.P.,i.':; as chairman, telegraphed to the Lord'."; Provost of Glasgow the council's con-j»' gratulations on the securing of the sluice,J gate order, which happily synchronised,1 with Scotland's.great Empire trade push,'i : "Scottish, housewives are standing magnifi-":, cently bywthe Empire," concluded ■ Sir:;.; "■ William's message.

Undoubtedly one factor that">!: has helped towards the success of the com--2 pany was that its interests were well■^ spread over various parts of the world.

In 1896, Sir Austen said, the averagedeath rate in the tropical Dependenciesand Colonies of the Crown was 100 perthousand of the population per an-num. Las^year it wasjaetween eightand nine per thousand. „ \

It'was almost incredible, Sir Austencontinued, that forty years ago therewas iio school of tropical medicine inthe centre of an Empire which hadgreat responsibilities in every part ofthe tropical world. But in those fortyyears there had been many changes.Thanks to Patrick Manson (who, withthe late Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, found-ed the present school) and his follow-ers, the problems or tropical diseasewere no longer regarded as insoluble,or as inseparable from the climatesin which they had been so rife.

Berlin's elms are being devastated by afungus epidemic which is spreading overEurope.

NATIONAL COUNCILGOOD GATHERING OF

MEMBERSTHREATENED, STATUS OF

WOMENThere was a nearly, full attendance

of members and associates'"of, the Wel-lington branch of the National, Coun-cil of Women last evening at Andrew'sStudio', when tho annual meeting washeld. Much pleasure was given by thepresence of Miss Carnachan, Dominionpresident of the council. Mrs. EdgarSuckling (president) was in the ojiair,and presented tho annual report. This1showed that there had been many ac-.tivities during the year, especially inconnection with the unemployment ofwomen, and the report makes the fol-lowing statement:—"We feel that theordinary constructive work of many"of our affiliated societies has beenlargely overshadowed by the stress ofthe present difficult time. This con-dition of things has naturally reflectedupon the work of the councilas a whole.Unemployment amongst women—theproblem which we cannot and darenot disregard—hasforced us to uso somuch ofl our time and energy that woare' apt to lose sight of equally neces-sary and important work. It must notbe forgotten that unemployment is atemporary thing, and that much con-structive w.ork, which will live whenthe present crisis has passod, remainsfor the council to do. "We trust thatduring the coming year our affiliatedsocieties and the council will .be ablesto spare the time for the serious con-sideration* of such important topicsas the setting up of a Court, of Do-mestic Relations, training of socialworkers, women police, and, most im-portant of all to women, disarmament.Let us look for hope in the presentworld-wide condition oi; unemploymentand financial. stress, in-the. very factthat it is world-wide. Governments arebeing (forced .to think internationallyand to see that salvation lies only inunited action. Intelligent women couldhave told them this long ago, bu,t itHas taken several years of bitter stressa.nd suffering to. teach them the les-son." ■ . -Other matters dealt with includeddisarmament, the law of domicile, Billof Divorce in England, cost of bread in'Wellington, women police, women onjuries, slaughter of live pigeons, na-tionality of married . women, tobaccosmoking by youths, minors soilingnewspapers, reduction of educationvote, exemption of domestic workersfrom unemployment levy, Russianmatches, economic independence of.mar-ried women/ fees at St. Helens' Hos-pital, withdrawal of Government grantto Kindergartens,.raising of school age.A number of minor matters werebrought forward and discussed, and in-teresting addresses wero given byseveral people during the winter sea-son. The Parliamentary Watch Com-

mittee took several deputations to the'Prime Minister and other Ministers.Eemits from other branches passed inWellington were in reference to thoCourt of Domestic Relations, provention of pernicious literature, differen-tiation in women teachers' salaries.Congratulations were offered to LadyTristram Eve on being appointed aspresident of the National Council oftho Women of Great Britain, and toMrs. Henry Smith on being made a life-member of the Wellington council.

RESOLUTION PASSED.The following resolutions were preseated by the Wellington executive

to the meetingand passed:—"That theWellington branch of the NationalCouncil of Women.regards the remarksmade at a recent meeting of the Cham-ber of Commerce (as reported by thePress) as regrettable on the part of thospeakers, and detrimental to the pros-pects and well-being of the girls andwomen of/the Dominion. It appears tothe council that interference with the'liberty of the subject' in the way ofdepriving any section of the commun-ity of the right to work in their chosenway, is entirely unjustified. The coun-cil feels that the boys and young menof the Dominion should be encouragedin every way to work industriously andmake themselves so competent andnecessary that they will hold their ownin all available avenues of work, with-out any effort on the part of the olderbusiness men to clear their path in lifeby removing such obstacles and com-petition as are caused by the employ-ment of the women and girls b£ thenation. ""(2) That the Wellington branchof tho National Council of Womensends hearty congratulations to Mrs.C. H. Symons, of Foxton, for beingthe first woman, in New Zealand to sitas afull member in the Anglican Synodof the Diocese of Wellington."

Much interest was taken in both re-mits, and in regard to the latter itwas hoped that next year, when Synodmembers are more used to the womanmember,- that she may be placed onsorae of the committees which do suchuseful work. ,: Votes of thanks .were passed to manyfriends of tho council who» had g}venhelp in'a number of directions dur-ing the year, -the Press receiving spec-ial mention, and also those.who hadhelped in entertainments. A ,vote ofcondolence was passed to Lady Lukein her bereavement in the loss of herhusband, Sir John, Luke, a citizen muchrespected by the council. v,-

Officers appointed for the year wereas follows:—President, Mrs. EdgavSuckling;- vice-presidents, Mrs. Chat-field, J.P.; Mrs. Peryman, Mrs.. Dal-lard, Miss Lea, Miss Kirk, J.P., MissMcßae; hon. seeratary, Mrs. M. J.Forde; hon. minute secretary, Miss B.Welch; hon. treasurer, Mrs. H.

WOMEN TO-DAYENGLAND. AND ' NEW

ZEALAND

The members of the National Council(Wellington Branch) were much inter-ested in two brief addresses speciallyappropriate-at; this time; Miss Carna-clian (Dominion president); 6pokc ofthe work of the Unemployment BoardCommittee, and gave praisotp the wo-men of the Dominion who, she'consider-ed, had "shouldered their responsibili-ties" in a very:firio .manner..,■ ... Theyhade done their" best to carry out themotto of the International League, ">vDounto others as you would they; shoulddo unto^you," and.mentioned that nowscience has drawn all parts of theworld so closely together, it is morethan ever necessary to "think inter-nationally." Miss Carnachau gave abrief review of the work at present inhand for women, and hoped that theresults would justify the women of thecountry in trusting that everythingpossible was being done for the dis-tressed women and children, who werein trouble through poverty and unem-ployment. ■ "l'--1 ,-■■"''■.( ■"-■' ■'.'■*'■■ '■■' Mrs.-'Stanley ISTatusch^ gave some; de-lightful sketches {of -interesting ■'.',wo-men whom she had met in Great Bri-tain. She had,started out in her car-eer as a helper in public^ affairs whenshe was only sixteen years of age, herfather having been a great worker inwar time and- afterwards. ;-She men-tioned an interesting faet,that it wasLord Balfour who had/ first1 said toMrs. Pankhurst that the women wouldget nowhere unless they'adopted somokind/ of militant methods, and the ten-tative suggestion wasfollowed up later,whenall other methods had failed.'Mrs.Natusch said that not only womenjustices but women jurors had beenwell established, in the United King-dom, the latter being appreciated, andsomo great legal authorities having ex-pressed the opinion JLhat justice was bet-ter accomplished ;by the inclusion ofwomen on juries: She laughinglyremarked that; it. would.,be a .ter-rible nuisance to be "pounced upon" toattend a case in. Court, just whoa youwanted to do something else,but it wasa duty, to her mind, and one that shouldnot ;be;neglected when the-time camefor New/Zealand women !to be placedmore in' line with their fellow-womenin the Old Country. , Mrs. Natusch hadfound that the women in the BritishParliament were looked upon with muchrespect and liking as an asset to thecountry, and did- excellent work onmany committees, although they-, didnothing "spectacular" in tho House,though-they had bepn responsible for'somo excellent, speeches. They werenot in the habit of standing up to talkunless they had something definite .-tosay,. and wore not among tho time-wasters. Lady Astor got her own waya good deal by her charm in the wayof quaintness,. and . could make thewhole House rock with, laughter whenshe chose. The Duchess of Athol wasa "statesman," and; Miss Bondfieldhad been looked upon with great re-spfect as having done'splendid work ina difficult Department. 'Miss JennieLee, who had" piflee lost her seat inParliament,, had been, a .favourite, forshe. was a vivid speaker, full of spirit,and burning with indignation -at old-established, abuses, her youth and en-thusiasm carrying hicr through a greatdeal. Other delightful political womenleaders of an. earlier period were charm-ingly described by Mrs. Natusch, andshe also gave a fine word picture- of jthewomen police of Great,Britainj who aregrowing in number arid '''favour.1 Theyacted without "fear or favour" andhad come up against some; of the" old-established abuses" which excited MissLee Jo much, and sjiuwed themselvessteadfastly against them, making ene-mies in high places which told againstthem for some time. However, thereseemed to be anow vision growing, and.the women were appreciated as they'should be., Both speakers wore accord-Jed hearty votes of thanks and apprecia-tion. ■ ' .- ; ; ' ■

PARASOLS WITH A PAST

SHADES OF HELEN OF TROYA retrospective exhibition of umbrel-las and walking-sticks was the princi-pal featuro of tho annual soiree of tho

Syndicate of Umbrella Merchants givenin Paris recently (states an overseaswriter).A procession of distinguished people

of all ages represent the umbrella'sevolution from the pink and white sun-shade of Salmanaser 111.,King of Assy-ria, the original inventor, down to thelatest product of the Eve de la Paix.Among the earlier models, Helen ofTroy's octagonal parasol, painted intho Trojan colours, and a vast embroid-ered umbrella sheltering tho majesticperson of Charlemagne were much ad-mired.

Henry HI. and Henrietta of Englandcarried attractive but serviceable ar-ticles, richly carved and" ornamented,while the Empress Eugenic and herCourt formed a delightful group withtheir ridiculous toy parasols.

Canes and walking-sticks followed,recalling many historicalscenes. Therewas the cane which Louis XV. throw-out of the window of the Tuileries onoday when he was exasperated by thechaff of the Due deLauzun "for fear,"as the incensed monarch cried, "Lest Istrike a gentleman."There were the ivory sticks carriedby the Eoman senators, the swbrdstiek'spopular in the eighteenth century, theSwiss cane with its silver pommel, tholong, tapering staff flourished by thedrum sergeant-major, and many other-,whose epoch and utility it would beequally difficult to guess.

WOMEN MECHANICSSIR H. AUSTIN'S OPINION

"Women are no less competent thanmen in the mechanical duties they per-form. We consider that female laboursin many respects, is much more effi-cient and more satisfactory than male.Again—and this is very, important—women "do not require" so much super-vision." This declaration was madeby Sir Herbert Austin, the. motor-carmanufacturer, at a Buy British lun-cheon at the Forum Club, Grosvenorplace, S.W.,recently (states the "DailyMail"). Sir Herbert declaredthat theinfluence of women drivers, both in thefamily circle and in the motor-design-ing industry, could not be over esti-mated. '■"It is one of man's vanities," hesaid, "that ho; alone of- the familyshould be regarded as the authority onmechanical matters. That is veryoften an illusion. With the advent ofthe woman motorist there have beenradical changes in design. My experi-ence shows me that the woman driveris no better and no worse than theman. When she is good she is very,very good, but .when she is bad—well,I leave you to complete the rhyme. '"Sir Herbert deplored the tendencyfor the colours of cars to be changedwith the changing fashions in dress.

PURPLE SKIES

ARE THEY A PORTENT?PHYSICAL POSSIBILITIES

"Most people in Wellington probablyhave observed the purple skies after sun-set during the last week or so (writesA.E.M.). It appears likely that thiseffect is due to the presence of fine dustin the upper atmosphere, probably a re-sult of the recent explosive volcanic erup-tions in. the Andes. Dr. Kidson has, Ibelieve, suggested that the early onsetof cold weather this year is another con-sequence of the same condition. If thereis spread over the upper atmosphere ofthe earth, and especially the SouthernHemisphere, a diffused line dust, thereis no doubt that the minute particles\vould intercept and absorb some of thered,infra-red, and heat rays from the sun.

"The interception ofrays at the red endof the spectrum would, by giving a pre-dominance of blue, account for the recentpurple sunset skies; it would be likely tointensify the blueness of clear skies inthe daytime; and the interception of infra-red and heat rays would account for theunusually cold weather at this season.

"The writer is a layman in these mat-ters; but it would be interesting if 'ThePost' would publish some scientific ex-position of the phenomena.

"It is said that after the explosive erup-tion of the volcano Krakatoa, the finedust thrown into the upper atmosphereaffected the 6unset lights and the tem-perature of the earth for a long period.If the present condition is in any degreesimilar, it is interesting to speculate onprobable consequences. For instance, anunusually cold winter in the SouthernHemisphere would mean that less moisture"was evaporated from the oceans, with aresultant lighter rainfall this winter andnest spring. This would adversely affectthe volume of dairy produce and the qual-ity of our wool next season. Again, acold winter and late spring would affectthe lambing percentages, the calving per-centages, and so on. On the other hand,it should oblige people to wear warmclothing and wear it a few weeks longerinto the spring, thus increasing somewhatthe demand for wool.

"So one might go on, referriug, for in-stance, to the probable extension of thesouthern ice pack and its probable conse-quences; referring to the probable greaterconsumption of fuel this winter; refer-ring to the bearing of a cold, dry winter—in contrast to a wet warm winter—uponthe morale of the unemployed; and adozen other things. One feels that an ap-parently trivial event (to us) such as thevolcanic eruptions in South America, mayslightly upset the normal balances in sucha way as to lead, directly and indirectly,to far-reaching consequences. I make noclaims to knowledge or understanding ofthese matters myself, but I hope that thisletter may iDstjgate a discussion which willbe interesting.

DIOCESAN SYNOD

PENSION FUND

The session of the Wellington DiocesanBynod concluded last evening.

The principal business taken was theConsideration of the report o£ the actu-ary (Mr. C. Gostelow) on the diocesanpension fund, -which was founded withthe-object of providing pensions, grants,or annuities to invalid or superannuatedclergymen, and to the widows and child-ren of deceased clergymen. The actuarypoints out that the fund's membershipis comparatively small, and having regardto the importance of the time factor inmeasuring mortality rates, it is doubt-ful if its data will ever be sufficientlyreliable to give an experience on whicha valuation can be made without, theassistance of more or less similar dataderived from other sources. The valua-tion discloses a deficiency of £9123 ascompared with one of £620at 31st March,3926. The retrogression of £Soo3 duringthe period under review was due, in somemeasure, to theeffect of the change in thebasis of valuation on the estimated lia-bilities, but was mainly due to the largenumber of new entrants at totally in-adequate contributions, and the transferof £3000 to a reserve for the deprecia-tion of securities. If this amount of£3000 is more than sufficient to cover thelosses (if any) on realisation o£ securi-ties, the deficiency in the fund will, ineffect, be correspondingly reduced. Iffewer new entrants may be expected infuture it will be possible for profits from,interest to gradually reduce the deficiency;but if the membership continues to rapid-ly expand, consideration should be givenin the near future to an increase in mem-bers' contributions. If such a courseshould be adopted, principles of .equitysuggest that the scale should be gradu-ated, and increase with the age at entry.

The report of the actuary was con-sidered in committee.The several standing committees o£ thediocese for the current year were ap-pointed.The sessions concluded with the pass-

ing ofvotes of thanks to Mrs. Sprott, andthe ladies who had assisted her to dis-pense afternoon tea throughout ihe sit-ting; to the Lyceum and Pioneer~ Clubs;to the matrons of St. Mary's Homes andthe Girls Friendly Society's hostel, andto Mrg. Wallis for hospitality extendedto the members of the Synod and theirtamtfies during the meeting of Synod

CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGYLECTURE BY RONA OLSEN

Rona Olsen, Christian psychologist, o£the United, States, lectured last night be-fore commencing her series of classes inWellington.. Increasing interest has beentaken;by the"public in the lectures, andlast night there was a crowded attend-ance. ■"

The lecturer said that the earth wasproducing all the time, and we could bementally m tune with this principle.People werebrought up to know only thestrictly material side of ..life—the thingsone could touch, hear, and see—but thereal things were of the spirit, and con-nected with the inner life. The spiritualthings were always there, but the reasonpeople did not receive their benefits wasbecause the connecting channels wereblocked. It was impossible to get abund-ance unless one was in a fit condition toreceive it.

The lecturer emphasised that povertywas a disease, justas sickness was a dis-ease. In time, she believed, there wouldbe physicians to treat poverty, just asthey treated sickness to-day, it was dif-ficult to keep one's self-respect when liv-ing ia poverty. Nothing had power un-less one gave it power, and if one was inthe state of mind where one could notget outside the state of poverty, then pov-erty possessed very real power. It wasessential, if people wanted to have inabundance, that they should get awayfrom thinking of poverty, and lookingpov-erty-stricken.

Money, she said, was only a symbol.When one realised what money represent-ed one did not hoard it, but let it flowin and out. If one rose above povertyone rose above a lot of worry and fearas well. When one was active in mindone became so much more active thanif one was only active physically. Lifewas a great ocean out of which one hadto draw, and it was free to all. How-ever, we had come to live as humanbeings, instead of as divine beings. Welearnt everything except the understand-ing of life and its laws. The moment onediscovered the source of life one began toattract to oneself; yet life could not be ac-cepted as a pleasing philosophy, but assomething to be interpreted intelligently.Questions on many subjects were askedand answered.

AMATEUR CYCLING

MEETING OF COUNCIL

OLYMPIC NOMINATIONS

Business dealt with at a meeting of theNew Zealand Cycling Council last eveningincluded a letter from the New ZealandCycling Federation on the subject ofOlym-pic Games nominations, and a number ofquestions of an administrative nature from■the Wellington Cycling Centre.

The application of the Poneke Ama-teur Cycling Club for affiliation was againdeferred, pending receipt of the necessaryamateur declaration.

Messrs. H. I. AuUad, 11. I). Bennett,and K. W. JlcVilly were appointed anadministration committee to deal with anyurgent niatters.

A letter was received from the secretaryof the New Zealand Cycling Federationin Christchureh, stilting that, in view ofthe council's explanation in regard to thenomination of Olympic Cycling represen-tatives, the federation had decided not totake any further action. "In asking forthe ' information," added the federationsecretary, "I may ,«ay that it notthe desire of members to question thecouncil's action, but rather to bring aboutan amicable settlement of all claims. Onthe question of the principle of theCycling Council making nominations, how-ever, the federation maintains its pre-vious attitude, as it feels that except inniatters of domestic interest it should bein a position to make the final decision."The letter also stated that the federationagreed that its sub-committee should workin conjunction with the Cycling Councilwhen the question of rules is being finallyconsidered.

WELLINGTON QUESTIONS.The questions submitted by the Welling-

ton Cycling Centre, with the answers tothem, were as follows:—

(a) To whom are the clubs affiliated/theAthletic Centre or the Cycling Council?—Neither; the New.Zealand Amateur Ath-letic and Cycling Association,..(b) The exact amount ".'to--be. paid by

affiliated clubs?—£1 to the N.Z.A.A. andC.A., phis whatever amount the rules ofeach particular Athletic Centre lay down.(c) What portion of the fees are to beretained by this centre, and to whom isthe balance to be paid?—None, cyclingcentres being entitled to ask -.lor a grantfrom the Athletic Centre. '". .(d) What position is.'to be taken in re-gard to summer, or athletic clubs, as re-gards affiliation fees?—The same as in thepast. .-. . .

In his letter the secretary of the Wel-lington Cycling Centre said that a perusalof the registration list showed that themajority of Wellington cyclists were mem-bers of two clubs—an athletic club anda road club. It would be clearly seen,therefore, that many of the cyclists' haddual representation on the centre. Thematter had been discussed; but owing tothe absence of any constitutional matterbearing on the subject it had'-not'beenfinalised.. ' '■'■'■'.'' 'In reply to the chairman (Mr. K. W.McVilly), Mr. A. Shephard'said that'thetrack rules had been drawn up arid heanticipated that the balance of the ruleswould be available by next meeting., 'FEDERATION MEETING. '" " 'The followingresolution, .moved by Mr.H. D. Bennett, was passed:—

"That in view of the judicial capacityupon which the New ZealandCycling Fed-eration is based, this council expresses thehope that Mr. Walter/was: not correctlyreported m the Christchurch newspaperreports of 27th May" in the, report of themeeting of the federation held on 26thMay." In a discussion on the coursetaken by the Cycling Council in nominat-ing K. Foubister (Auckland) andK. Ulmer(Wellington) as Olympic Games cyclingrepresentatives and passing over F. J.:Grose (Canterbury), the followingremarkswere attributed to Mr. W. J. Walter (oneof the cash cyclists' delegates- to *the;federation): "Grose is'- the'■'■. champion ofNew Zealand, yet they , turn'him downin favour of inferior riders. Would anyother sport do it?" Then,. Mr. Walter isreported to have said, in reply to thechairman (Mr. J. Kennedy), that, if hehad a part in arranging for a trial, anda man, no matter how good his other per-formances, failed to turn up, he wouldnot select him.

HOME AND SCHOOLASSOCIATION AT KILBIRNIE

At a meeting of householders of theKilbirnic district held on Thursday, itwas decided to form a Home and SchoolAssociation, Mr. J. H. McKay beingelected president and Mrs. V. Sherwoodsecretary. A meeting will be calledshortly to form a committee and in-stitute a canvass of householders.

Mr; N. A. Ingram, who addressed themeeting, explained the value of such anassociation as a link between the school,the staff, and parents and residents ofthe district. Ho pointed out tho dis-parity between the treatment, by wayof capitation grant, meted out to prim-ary schools as against secondary schools.Other matters referred to were the fre-quent changes of staff and tho ovor-erowdea classes, particularly in theprimary division, where individualtraining and attention was. so import-ant. What was wanted was a deeperinterest in the school, and a determina-tion that a fair proportion of themoney provided by way of taxationfor education should be expended in thedevelopment of the child in the earlieryears of its school life.

Mr. Lennic, president of the IslandBay Home and School Association, madean interesting survey of the formationand progress of his association, andspoke of the great value it had beento his district. "

WINTER SHOWMAKING.. ARRANGEMENTS

A meeting of the General Committee ofthe Wellington Show Association was heldlast evening, Mr. D. McGowan presidingin the absence of the chairman (Mr. C. J.B. Norwood) owing' to indisposition.

The chairman welcomed Mr. George Dayonhis return from a world tour, and hopedthat the experience gained would be bene-ficial to the association.Itwas reported by the Space and StandsCommittee that Mr. T. Waugh had beenappointed to carry out the whole of the

main entrance. decorations, arid wouldsupply plants for the tearooms, for whichthe association's thanks were due.It was recommended that, to avoid thechfiiculty of obtaining payment in advancetrom side-shows, where practicable,- theseshould be run on a share basis.It waß recommended by the PublicityCommittee that £150 be spent in connec-tion with the show, and the recommenda-tion was agreed to.

The Social and Catering Committee re-ported that Mrs. Cresswell would againmanage the tearooms, with MesdatnesMurphy, Goldsmith, and McVicar as asupervising committee, an 'arrangementwhich was endorsed.

The manager reported that he had ex-plored every possibility for further usesfor the show buildings, stadium, andgrounds which would help the revenueThe financial statement showed a bankbalance of, £574 15s 4d.

EXPEDIENTS V. EQUITY

(To the Editor.)Sir,—JVlr. Coates has intimated that he

is endeavouring to establish a basic wageof 10s a clay, but without making any at-tempt to adjust other economic factorsto an equal basis. The natural economiclaw seems to be little understood. Menseem to-think-that they can force econo-mic factors into any old groove that willbest suit their purpose, or the purposeof their friends, and seem much surprisedwhen these outraged factors kick back,and assert themselves iv other directionsnot wanted by those responsible, and this,without the assistance of human agency.Ten shillings a day is not an equivalent,nor does it harpionise with other econo-mic factors such as laud values, rent, in-terest, and other overhead charges, conse-quently is quite incapable of assisting thenation to restore its lost balance; in factit will undoubtedly serve to intensifythe evils from which we arenow suffering.

The world generally is too apt lo lookupon wages and salaries as somethinggiven to the worker for the worker's con-venience, to be given as grudgingly aspossible, and as small as possible, utterlyin ignorance of the fact that wages andsalaries possess an economic value of theirown, which place them in the front rankof economic factors, and highly essentialto the national progress and well being.Look for a moment at the amount of capi-tal invested in catering wholly, or ingreater part, to the wants of the wage-worker. Assess the amount of capital in-vested, define the amount of interest de-1manding repayment, and then form a con-clusion as to the-importance of wages tothe investor. If wages shrink, the valueof the investors' securities shrink also.If the aggregate turnover of the interestsinvolved should shrink, what is the possi-bility of the investor getting his interest;if he fails to do so then t,he national re-venue suffers through income taxea.Suppose for a moment that we eliminatethe worker, and the wage given him forhis convenience, and without any furtherthougKt to his welfare, study the value ofwages to the world at large from a purelyeconomic standpoint. I am not able at themoment to quote the figures for the vari-!ous items enumerated below, but the busi-ness man, and those accustomed to figures,will readily understand the points enumer-ated. Work out a graph representing theIfollowing items, taken as at March, IH2IJ,30, 31, and 32; (a) the total of wages andsalaries for the year; (b) the aggregateturnover of commerce and iudustry; (c)the total turnover of our national services.railways, post offices, etc.;, (d) the totalnational revenue;' (e).the income tax paidby those- whose business in greater partconsists iii catering to the wage and salar-ied workers. Finally, (f) the figures as ateach date, represent unemployment. Ifthen, these figures are reduced to indexnumbers,- the results so shown will provevery illuminating, and go to pro%'e mycoutention that the world to-day, is de-pendent for its ability to pay its wayupon the total amount paid out in salar-ies and wages.

Suppose', for a moment, that we couldeliminate wages altogether, as well as thecost of unemployment :!and charitable aid.Let each thinking man ask himself whatwould be his position-under such circum-stances. He would be relieved of consid-erable taxation (perhaps), but would hisincome be capable of nupporting him?-Acareful perusal of the figures so obtainedwould go to show that, as the wages col-umn fell, the other columns would fallalso, but more sharply;;whilst the unem-ployment figures would:rise consistentlywith the fall of the other'figures, and taxa-tion would rise even more sharply thanthose for unemployment.

The world has lost its balance, thanksto the adoption of so many expedients, in-stead of a policy of equity. It is like agrandfather's clock that has been dumpeddown anyhow, and not being balanced, itrefuses tp function. A suggests that ifit be propped up this way, it will suithim, but it still refuses to function. Bsuggests that if it in shifted a little theother way it will suit him, as well as Abut still it refuses to function. And sothething goeson. Nobody seems to havesense enough to realise that if its balanceisrestored, that, being-quite sound, and inthorough'working order, it is capable offunctioning as wellras ewr.Tit did. ——The fact is, everybody is too busypushing his own barrow" to have anytime or thought to the heeds or rights'ofothers, until such time as the load onhis own barrow (taxation) gets so heavythat he is unable to push it further, anddrops exhausted by the wayside.—l am.etc.,

The Railways and Public SafetyKeen Sense of Responsibility

WHY .have the New Zealand Railways carried ISOmillion passengers during the past six yearswithout one fatality? This world's record is

due to the Department's constant, active sense of res-ponsibility for the safety of the travelling public. Be-fore a passenger enters a train every possible precau-tion has been taken to avoid mishap. Locomotive,Traffic, and Workshops Staffs, Gangers, Surfacemen,Bridga-inspectors and Train-examiners have carefullydone their part in the safety campaign, and when thejourney begins other experts co-operate in the safe-guarding service. The Driver, th- Fireman, the Guard,the Train-controller and the Signalman are alwaysalert on behalf of passengers. Fromthe human, materialand mechanical view-points the railway vigilance ismaintained efficiently, day and night.

EXCITING WORKAMATEUR BOXING

TOURNEY

Amateur boxing has a loyal and in-creasingly strong following in Welling-ton, so it was not surprising that therewas a capacity crowd at a tournamentjjvomoted by Mr. J. Mears, CommunityClub instructor, in St; Thoniiis's Hall,Newtown, last night. Nor could the audi-ence hate been disappointed at the en-tertainment provided, for in aprogrammeof ten bouts there was hardly a dullmoment, arid several of the contests reach-ed a very high standard indeed.

The following are the results:—K. Bucknell (4st 61b) beat H. Duneau<:ist); W. Aitken (7st 31b) beat N. Win-

ter (7st 71b); W. Parris (9st 81b) andT. Corbin. (9st 31b) drewover six rounds;S\ Finnegan (7st 101b) scored a technicalknock-out over J. Wilson (7st 131b); L.Larsen (Sst 31b) beat F. Keith (Sst 61b);C. Dobson (9st 21b) beat M. Picchi (Ost61b);.W. Hedbere (Bst) beat J. Mc-Donald (Sst 31b); J. Hanseu (Sst 61b)beat F. Ludwig (Sst 81b); J. Mansfield(lOst 111b).beat E. Jacobs (list -lib");W. Billish (list 121b) beat E. Price (list121b)...

During the night Harold Thomas, light-weight, champion of New Zealand andOlympic Games representative, boxed alast three rounds exhibition with CyrilHume, professional bantamweight, andtwo midgets, R. Watson and K. Bucknell,put up a bright little spar. The medalior the most scientific boxer was won by3?. Finnegan.

Mr. E. Perry was the referee. Messrs.A. Curtayne, B. A. Guise, L. McKay, andbnijth acted as judges, and Mr. p. G.Thomson wan the announcer.

FAIR TREATMENT?PETONE AND RUGBY UNION

Complaints that the public 01 Petone■were not being treated quite fairly by the"Wellington Rugby Union in the matterof the matches played on the Petone Ovalwere voiced by councillors at the meet-ing of the Borough Council last uight, andit was decided to communicate the coun-cils feelings to the union.Councillor V. A. Noble asked whyPetone was not given better seniorteams on the Oval than it had recentlybeen given. He thought that the Hutt-Petone match, should have been playedthere. .'AH first-class games seem to go in totee city, and. there are mauy unemployedand distressed people here who wish tosee them but cannot attend," remarkedthe Mayor (Mr. D. McKenzie)."It's a genuine complaint," added Coun-cillor A. Scholefield.It was contended by Councillor C. PBrocfcelbank that while the Rugby Unionwas paying,a good figure for the use ofthe Recreation Ground it should put onattractive games to get its money back.

The Soccer people offended even more thantne Rugby people by putting on matchesof secondary importance at Petone, butless was heard of this because Soccer wasless popular.

"We feel that our team is being ex-ploited to draw crowds to Athletic Parkinstead, of being kept here and probablygiving a better return than in town,"said Councillor- R. W. Toomath. As aninstance he thought, that by. playing Huttagainst Petone on the Petone ground atremendous-gate would have been secured,and a better gate would have been securedat Athletic Park by playing two cityieama there. He suggested that the re-turn Petone-Poneke match should. beplayed at Petone.

PETONE BOROUGH COUNCIL

The Petone Borough Council met lastBight. The Mayor (Mr. D, McKenzie)presided, and there were also presentCouncillors V. A. Noble, V. E. Jaeobson,A. ScholefieW, J. C. Burns, C. P. Brookel-bank, and R. W. Toomath.A proposal from the Town Clerk of

Blenheim that local bodies' finance couldbe relieved by the postponement of sink-ing fund payments met with no support.

The Works Committee, CouncillorScQolefield dissenting, had no recommend-ation to make concerning the request ofthe Drivers' Union that drivers bo pro-vided .with oilskins and leggings."

F.A. TROPHY MATCH

Mr. P. G. Smith, of Dunedin, hasteen recommended by the New ZealandBeferees' Association to the council ofthe New Zealand Football Associationas referee for the forthcoming P.A.Trophy challenge to be played at Dun-edin.

The winners -will later meet a Wel-lington representative team for thetrophy. ________
