DENTS IN CLUB DOOR

IS SCREWDRIVER HOUSE-BREAKING IMPLEMENT?

/ JURY TO DECIDE.

Frederick Murray was tried beforehis Honour the Chief Justice (Sir Ro-bert Stout) and a jury of twelve thismorning upon the charge of beingfound, on 30th September, at Wel-lington, in possession by night, with-out lawful excuse, of a housebreakinginstrument. Mr. P. S. K. Macasseyprosecuted, Mr. C. A. L. Tread-wellappeared for the accused,who pleadednot guilty. The foreman of the jurywas Mr. Edward Henderson.

The facts, said Mr. Macassey, werethat a constablo iv Manners streetsaw two men in the doorway of thePremier Club in Herbert street. Ex-amination of the lock of - the doorwhere Murray was standing showedthat the wood had been chipped awayround the Yale lock. The accusedstated to the constable that ho wasthere to knock up the occupant to get,information, but he had in his hands,and dropped, a sciewdriver. In themeantime Murray's companion hadgone. Murray said this -.'as in orderto ring up the caretaker and get himto open the door, but when arrestedthis man denied that was the reasonho had left Murray.

Evidence was given by CharlesRamsay Hancock, constable, that onhis beat, trying dooi'3 in Mannersstreet, he saw two men in the doorwayof the Premier Club. They bothmoved away, and he tried that door,which was then fastened and with-out markings. Returning, he saw themen again in the doorway of tho Pre-mier Club. One left, Murray remain-ing. When witness put a torch onMurray he droppad a screwdriver,which, with a piece of wood chippedout of a door, he produced. When hisattention was -drawn to markingsround the lock, Murray said he knewnothing about them. Murray said hismate was Nilson, a labourer, living at20, Tory street. Murray hjid appar-ently had liquor, but was in no wayunder the influence of liquor. Witnessarrested Murray. On 10th OctoberMurray came to him and asked if hewould have to appear at the SupremeCourt, saying : that ho wished to goto Auckland on private business. Mur-ray then' said lie expected lie wouldget three years' imprisonment. Whathe had wanted was to see a man ivtho Premier Club who would assisthim in financing a contract ho wishedto tender for. The screwdriver fittedthe marks made'in the door

Cross-examinedby .Mr. Treadwell,witness said, that there were oldermarks painted over, higher up thedoor. ■ I

Mr. Treadwell: "Might not themarks round the lock have been madeby some slightly inebriated occupantof the premises endeavouring to open]the door witl. his Yale key? Werethey not wiggly sort of marks, notvery deep?''—"Marks made by aYale key.would have shown the irre-Igularitics of tho key."

Mr. Treadwell said he would provethat liia client was dnnik.

To the constable: "Did not youhear someone in the watch-house saythat if anyone put a match to hisbreath it would put him alight?"—'' No, sir.''

There were other members of thePremier Club inside, continued wit-ness, under cross-examination, whociinm out while he was there, at 11.15p.m.

Sergeant William Ponder gave evi-dence corroborative of that of: theprevious witness in respect to the in-juries on the door. Murray told himhe had obtained the screwdriver from

! a, barber in Vivian street earlier that'evening. .. Mr. Treadwell: "Do you think youcould get into the Premier Club withthat thing? It has not oven ahandle; it's just ' a curved :ce ofwire."

Sergeant Pender: "Yes, I think Icould if 1 tried. You could get agood leverage with this."

The secretary of the Premier Club,Leonard Marshall Avery, said thatwhile Murray had been a' visitor ofthe club three months before,1 he hadnever been a member. Cross-examin-ed,he said accused had obviouslybeendrinking that night. "

Arthur Farmery, who stated hespent the evening of 30th September Jwith tho accused,at a house off Cubastreet, said that Murray was verydrunk.

"Did you have as many drinks ashe?" asked Mr. Treadwell.

"I was pretty drunk," admitted wit-ness. (Laughter.)

No evidence was called for the de-fence.The jury, after a, brief retirement,returned a vedict of not guilty.

"Prisoner," said his Honour, "youare discharged, and after what the juryhas done here, breaking into people'shouses will be encouraged."

IN DIVORCE

Two undefended divorce petitionswere heard by his Honour, Mr. Jus-tice Ostler, to-day.

All the singers did remark-ably well, and encores were frequent.Miss M. trussing took the part of Mari-liina, Mr. Hugging that of Don Caesar,iiud Mi\ Tom Houlker that of Don-Jose. _ The part of Tazarillo was takenby Miss Joan Eichards, and that of theKing by Mr. Bourne, tho Marquis be-ing represented by Mr. Newton, andthe Alcade by Mr. H. Holland. Thechorus did particularly good work. Thestory was narrated by Mrs. . Godman,who connected up the acts in an inter-esting manner. An efficient orchestrawas led by Mr. Jos. Vitctta. Harpaccompaniments to tho singers, wereplayed by Mr. John Vitelta, MissKeys was the organist. Miss WinifredFlower, the pianist, as accompanist, isdeserving of special mention. AH con-cerned in the production are to be heart-ily congratulated on the success of theperformance, which will be repeated nextSaturday evening, when the whole of theproceeds will be given equally to theV.M.C.A. and the City Cadets"Trainingand Recreation Fund.

Some remarks of Councillor Watsonon Friday last on the subject of ex-penditure, efficientmanagement, and theamount of work done by a section ofthe staff, caused a meeting of the CityCouncil's employees to be held on Tues-day evening, when (hero were 49 pre-sent, and it was .uiianimour.Jy, resolved :."That this meeting of council employeesviews with concern (ho .statements' ofCouncillor Watson made in (ho "Kven-ing iM.nl" of 29th inst.. and if Conn,ciltor Willson is not prepared If) pub-lit.'ly withdraw his goiiei;il comlemna-tic;n and make specific charges, whichmay either |,o proved or refilled, thecouncil be requested (o hold an inquiry.In passing this resolution the employeesfeel that they have been accused of theworst form of disloyalty, and are en-titled to be heard in (heir own defence.They deny the charges of CouncillorWatson,both generally and specifically."

As the resuH of the frequent compli-mentary remarks by visitors to the cityon the viihmble asset Nelson has in theTaliuna beach, an effort is being madeby a few public-spirited enthusiasts tocreate a, public opinion in favour ofsubstantial improvements in the way olaccommodation and oilier facilities Unit"ill ink! to tin: youulurity vf this til-Tcudy ijujjulur rewni. ,4s previously

stated, considerable expenditure in thisdirection is already provided for by aloan recently authorised, but it is likelythat the amount will prove altogetherinadequate to givo the up-to-date equip-ment desired by those now moving inthe matter. It is probable that if theamalgamation of Tahunanui with thecity is brought about as the result ofthe conference shortly to take placebetween the Tahunanui Town Board andthe City Council, the improvements de-sired may soon materialise.

IN THE ENEMY'S CAMP

MR. POTTER GOES TO ONEHUNGA

A DISORDERLY MEETING,

(El TELEOIUPH.—SPECIAL TO THE POST.)AUCKLAND, This Day.

For noise, interruptions, and gen-oral disorder promoted by Laboursupporters, the' meeting at One-hunga on Wednesday night,addressedby Mr. V. H. Potter, Reform candi-date for Boskill, has not been sur-passed in the present election cam-paign. On Tuesday night the Labourcandidate for Manukau, Mr. Jordan,entered tho Roskill electorate andspoke at a meeting conducted by theLabour candidate, Mr. Yarnall. By

I way of returning the compliment, Mr.Potter went into Manukau last night.He made his speech a fighting speechfrom the start. For nearly an hour,and a half he was allowed scarcelytwo sentences without interruption.Frequently his voice was drowned byyells, hoots, and roars of disapproval,mingled with applause from Govern-ment supporters, who outnumberedthe Labour element by two or threeto one. Towards the close he wasrepeatedly counted out, and eventu-ally a vote of no-confidencein the Go-vernment was defeated to the accom-paniment of deafening din.

"To-night I am going to give yousome of the Labour Party's platform,

i whether you like it or not," declared.Mr. Potter. At the outset this an-nouncement was received with hoot-ing and a babel of other noises. Hemanaged to add that ho intended toexpound the Government's platformalso.

"I, am not going to do what Mr.Jordan docs,and say that I'have been'over tlie top,' " ho.remarked whensomething like quiet reigned for amoment. The uproar at once beganagain.

Mr. Potter: "You don't like.it.Well, I have had longer war servicethan any of you."

A voice: "JS'o.". Mr. Potter! "I had two and a halfyears in the South African war, andthree and' a half years in the late'war." ;,

A voice: "Under the ammunitionwagon."

Mr. Potter: "I'll give you ammu-nition to-night; but not the dud stuffMr. Jordan gives you.

' (Derisivehoots.) I am here because the partyI represent has been bitterly attacksed in my electorate. I am here.indefence of the lleform Government.Its bitterest opponents, the extremeLabour Party, when they sent a cableto Lenin "A ..voice: "Mrs. Lenin.""Mr. Potter: "It was a message of

condolence about the death of thegreatest arch-murderer the world hasever known." (Booing and applause.)Ho declared that Mr. M'Combs hadrepudiated his party's action, but Mr.Jordan had not, because lie was inParliament with his own class. Afterdeclaring that, the Labour Party wasout simply for confiscation, Mr. Pot-ter challenged Mr. Jordan to producethe man who hail allegedly offeredhim Cabinet rank if he would jointhe Reform Party.

A vok-c: "lie never said it."Mr. Potter said he ought to know.The real row began when Mr. Pot-

ter set out to give, his views on theshippirg strike. His mere nnnouueo-nicnt of tho topic was greeted withsomething like pandemonium.

Mr. Potter apparently heard someremark through tho din: "Oh, forgoodness sake," he shouted, "if youknow an undertaker, I'll pay. for acoffin."

Tho noise .increased to pa'ndemon-iuin again. "If there were enoughcages; I would put you parrots inthem," said Mr. Pott;r, when Jiecould make himself hea.d. '"I sayparrels deliberately, because you re-peat what you hear and never thinkabout whr.t you aye repeating."

"Potter, you are a land shark,"called out somebody, when Mr. Pottqrannounced a new topic—the Labourland policy.

Mr. Potter: "A shark is particularwhat it eats, but I'd refuse you."

A little later someone exhorted himto "Say it wiflt.flowers."

Mr. Potter: "If it were ou yourgrave, I wouldn't mind."

After dealing under difficulties withthe Govcrineiit's record, including re-patriation, Mr. Potter again got intov crossfire of personalities with hisinterrupters. To someone who men-tioned a tax on bachelors,he remark-ed, "Oh, you're lucky to be married.But I pity the girl." Another voicefrom the darkness addressed him as:"T;acher." "Yes," said Mr. Pot-ter. "I'll move you up to StandardJ. in a couple of years."

One inr.n. .offered to give £5 tocharity if Mr. Potter would provethat Mr. Jordan was bound hand andfoot to Mr. Holland. He brought themoney to the stage and displayed ,it,but as he would not hand it over tothe chairman, Mr. Potter declined thechallenge.

A vote of thanks to Mr. Potter andof confidence in the Government wasmoved. It was followed by an amend-ment thanking Mr. Potter for hisspeech, but stating that M.-tnukauelectors would vote according to'theirown judgment. Tlio amendment wasput to the voices,which nearly liftedthe roof off, and then to a show ofhands. On this it was defeated bya two to one majority.

THE LOCAL SEATS

lii five of the six Wellingtonand suburban constituencies theelection contests this year will befree from the confusion wroughtiv four electorates in 1922 by tri-angular or four-cornered lights.For that much we may be thank-ful ; but electors will be most un-wise if they assume, on this ac-count, that their' votes are notneeded and that they may safelyleave the enthusiasts to do thepolling. A majority for safe andsound government,, whether byone party or by union of two par-fcies) can be assured only if elec-tors realise their duty and per-form it. The six Wellington seatsmay even decide the issue, and afew votes in these six electoratesmay turn the balance. In five ofthe siy electorates, as we havesaid, the issue is simple in form.Voters must choose between can-didates pledged to the Labourplatform and those opposed tothat platform and pledged tosupport a strong National Govern-ment. " The Post," in this elec-tion, has criticised the Labourplatform, and it cannot' advisesupport of the Labour candidates,because they are all pledged tosupport that platform. Fair re-presentation of organised Labourwe do not oppose, and we believeit is desirable that the views of allclasses should be presented inParliament; but the Labour Partyis at present dominated by its ex-treme left wing.It is the left wing that has had

its way in framing a programmewhich is socialistic, pacifist, andinternational. Some of the candi-dates, we are convinced, are notiis entire agreement with that plat-form. Some may consider thewholly negative defence policy un-wise. Others have shown by theirspeeches that they are anxious todilute still .further the water-ed land-nationalisation schemenow euphemistically termed "use-hold." But the Labour Party'sconstitution does not permit indi-vidual members to exercise theirpersonal judgment and to sup-port the platform only in thoserespects and to the extent thatthey believe advisable. EveryLabour candidate is bound by thefollowing pledge:—I hereby pledge myself to the NewZealand Labour Party to faithfully up-

hold and wholeheartedly work for itsConstitution, Objective, Platform andDecisions, and no other, and to workand vote for the selected candidates ofthe party.

Voters, then, who support Labourcandidates are supporting thewhole of the Labour objective andplatform, the " socialisation ofthe means of production, distribu-tion, and exchange," the landpolicy as it stands in the writtenplatform (not as the half-heartedcandidate may interpret it), andthe defence policy which has thesign-manual of the pacifist writtenacross it. Ti, is idle to say, "Oh,but one or the other is <i moder-ate, reasonable man. He wouldn'tdo such things." All the Labourcandidates have pledged them-selves, and the voter who supportsthem believing that they will notdo what they are pledged tomakes them, dishonourable.

This consideration must, we be-lieve, bo (he determining factorin five seals—over-riding even thepersonal qualities of Lhn candi-dates. Hul, in the sixth aent, Wel-lington North, thrro arc cum plicalions. Sir John Luke and Mr.M'Gralli bolh claim the non-Lab-our vritt;. Bir John Luki-- is theaccepted iielonu candidate, pledg-

Ed to support Mr. Coates and his 'Government, and favourable alsoto the formation of a National Go-vernment of tho best elements inthe Reform and National "Parties.Sir John, moreover, is known asa nian who has given a. lifetime ofsteady, honest service to Welling-ton and the'1 country. He hasneither the strength nor the weak-ness of brilliance; but he is a con-sistent worker who may be reliedupon to do his duty. Mr. M'Grath,though well known to manypeople, is making his first offerof general public service. He iscomparatively young, and we!lequipped by training and tempera-ment. A forceful debater, a keenand courageous critic, he is thetype of new member who, withexperience, should be a valuableacquisition in public life. He hasbeen perfectly candid in statinghis political position. lie will sup-port Mr. Coates as Leader of anew National Government, but hewill oppose a Reform Government.His criticism of the Reform Partyhas indeed been so strong and un-qualified that one may doubt whe-ther a Government which did notdiscard almost everything of Re-form, except Mr. Coatea,wouldsatisfy him, and whether theforce of his criticism would nothinder the union which lie desires:Would Mr. M'Grath's conditionalsupport of Mr. Coates apply tothe new Government which Mr.Coates is likely to form?

This is the issue as we seeifc: on the one hand, an ac-cepted candidate, pledged tosupport _. Mr. ' Coates. uncondi-tionally, but desiring to seefusion of the two parties, and, onthe other, a candidate who pro-mises support upon certain con-ditions which may not prove 'ac-ceptable or possible. "The Post "has hitherto supported the candi-dature of Sir John Luke, and wesee no sufficient reason now forwithdrawing that support. Theexperience of the past three yearshas shown that political stabilityand certainty are of prime import-ance, and we believe that certainsupport will more surely promotesuch stability than will the condi-tional adherence which acceptsMr. Coates but condemns hisparty with equal fervour. Our at-titude, however, implies no con-demnation of Mr. M'Grath's un-doubted qualifications. He hasproved himself a strong candidate,for whom, if his first attemptshould not succeed, eventual suc-cess may surely be predicted.There is but one thing it is neces-sary to add—that is, an earnestappeal to electors to decide thispolitical issue on political grounds.It is being stated by the politicalquidnuncs that the Prohibitionvote will go this way, and theLiquor vote thatway. We hope andtrust that the people of Welling-ton North will not allow such ir-relevant matters to obscure themain issue. They have their op-portunity of voting separately foror against liquor; and they willnot help the decision of the licens-ing problem by mixing it withParliamentary politics to theclouding of the greater issue,which is whether the pacifist-inter-nationalist-socialismof the Labourplatform ,(for which Mr. Combsstands) shall be endorsed by anelectorate which has for manyyears beep a stronghold of safeand sound Government and sturdyImperialism.

LOCAL AND GENERAL■ A Southern newspaper reports tha.t

.there is every prospect of a miningrevival in- the Buller and Grey districtsnow that tho cost of requirements iscoming back to normal. Mining activi-ties are anticipated in the Mokihinuidistrict, where good leads of quartzmetal have been traced.

Stones arc valuable at Onehunga(states the "Now Zealand Herald").Fifty or sixty, years ago thoy were con-sidered a nuisance, and the early set-tlers gathered up into huge piles allthat they could not utilise in buildingthe stone walls which are such a dis-tinctive feature in tsie neighbourhood ofthe volcanic areas round Auckland. Mod-ern road construction lias brought a de-cided change, and tho old walls arenow considered o£ such value for voad-ing purposes that at a recent meetingof the Onehunga Borough Council it wasdecided to give a resident the necessaryposts and fencing wire to replace a stonewall which was required for crushing.

A new use for deep X-ray treatmentthrough an open wound in a case wherethe surgeondecided it was too danger-ous to proceed with an operation wasreported by Dr. P. C. Fenwick to theNorth Canterbury Hospital Board utChristchurch. Dr. A. S. Moody, ofDunedin, to whom the subject waa men-tioned (states "The Post's" Dunedin cor-respondent), said he thought such anoperation quite a feasible thing. Hedid not, however,attach too much im-portance to it. Probably the case re-ferred to was a localised growth. Dan-ger to the slur could be obviated to agreat extent by the use of a harder ray.Hard radium rays and hard X-rays hadpractically the same action. That, hethought, was what Dr. Feuwick was re-ferring to. He thought a. good radio-logist could protect the skir sufficientlyto treat any growthat any distance fromthe surface. Dr. C. C. Anderson, radio-logist at Dunedin Hospital, stated thatno such operation had been performedlocally, nor was it likely to ho' attempt-ed until a new and more powerful X-rayplant was in position in the new build-ings to be erected. No doubt the Christ-church case- was the first of its kind tobe dealt with in such a way. The mat-ter opened up a field for investigation,but up lo the present very little hadbeen done in regard to such ;i method oftreatment, and lie did not attach verynnu'li importance to it.

Regulations are gazetted in regardto the Government Stores ControlBoard, which is to consist of the Min-ister of Public Works, chairman ofthe Hallway Board, Undcr-Sccretaryof Public Works, and the Secretary ofthe .Postal Department. Au advisorycommittee is also to be appointedcomprising tho Comptroller of Stores,and the stores managers of the Pub-lic Works and Postal Departments.

Duncdin usually provides perman-ent employment for G()0 carpenters,but at prcHont there are 800 membersof that branch of the union. The Ex-hibition, of course, accounts for theextra ISOO. The secretary of theunion think!) thai; the work of theKxhibition will last until the end ofnext month, ruid thyit about 200 menwill haves to look for work else-where. A largo number of carpen-ters will probably return to thoNorth.

ALLEGED POSTALFRAUD

THE HERETAUNGA CASE

At the Supreme Court yesterdayChristine Audrey Helen Maunsell plead-ed not guilty to a charge that on 18thAugust, 1925, at Heretaunga, she didfraudulently state that she had posteda postal packet, containing money—towit, £25—whereasin fact she did notdo so.

Mr. Macassey conducted the case forthe Crown, and Mr. Tustin, with himMr. o'Donovan, appeared ifor theaccused.

Mr. K. Bethune was foreman of thejury.

Two detectives, and other witnessesgave evidence for the Crown; and evi-dence was also given .by accused andher husband,the latter of whom statedthat the accused did not enjoy goodhealth.

For the defence,Mr. Tustin said thatit was a most extraordinary case. Thecharge was an unusual one, and the be-haviour of the accused under the cir-cumstances was very hard to accountfor. The defence was that she genu-inely believed that the £25 had beenenclosed in; her letter to Mrs. Simpson.After the detectives had interviewedher on behalf of the Post Office, theytold her to inako a thorough search,andi£ she found the money to let themknow. She did not search, being sosure that she had enclosed monoy inthe letter; but the following day, 'hap-pening to Jook in the box in whichshe kept money, she found two £10notes and f}ve single notes. She hadhad nothing to do with the police be-fore, and being afraid that she haddone something very wrong in not atonce doing as they had told her, shemade up all these untruths to coverup the matter. He did not pretend toaccount for her doing so. It mightbe because of her state of health. Shehad made no attempt to defraud any-body, neither the Post Office nor Mrs.Simpson, having made no applicationto the Post Office for a refund, and hav-ing admitted to the detectives that shestill owed the money!to Mrs. Simpson.Further, as soon as she found themoney she wrote letters to the post-master concerned and to Mrs. Simpsonsaying that she had found the moneyand apologising for the trouble she hadgiven them.

Mr. Macassey said that there was no-thing against accused before, and thecase was a small bnt seriousone. It was very important that thepublic should have confidence in thePost Office, and it was a serious thingfor any person to say that they hadonclosed money in registered letterswhen, as a matter of fact, they had notdone so.

His Honour said it was, to his mind,a very sad case, the accused havingadmitted telling lie after lie. Thecharge that she had made tho state-ment in question "fraudulently" meantthat she had made it dishonestly, in-tending to deceive. Could the jurysay that she luid acted honestly in thistransaction?

After a retirement of about three-quarters of an hour, the jury broughtin a verdict of guilty, with a strongrecommendation to mercy.

His Honour, taking into considera-tion the prisoner's good character,ordered her to como up for sentencewhen called upon.

TO ROSENEATHTHE NEW ROADWAY

PROGRESSES

TYPES OF WALLS TO BEEMPLOYED

GETTING THE PABADE INORDER.

Though a considerable amountof preliminary work has beendone towards tho making of thenew Carlton Gore road, to pro-vide "bettor access to Eose-

neath," is still a difficultmatter for the casual observer toform a mental picture of thecompleted road, unless imagina-tion should be called in freely, inwhich case the picture would pro-bably be inaccurate in severalrespects.The first length of wall from the

junction of Carltou Gore road and theBay parade has been completed bythe Corporation, and the next length,which, in. two distinct types of con-struction, which reach right along to |the hairpinbend, is now in the handsof the contractors, the Fletcher Con-struction Company. The first length !is reinforced concrete walling pureand simple, the wall being on theouter edge of' the twenty-four-footroadway and of the six-foot footway,but the next lengths are to be con-structed, in the main, either with pierssupporting the footway above thecliff face, and with no actual wallsupporting the roadway, or with sup-porting walls and the footway car-ried out beyond the vertical line ofthe wall upon a platform upon thecantilever principle. One style orthe other, will be adopted, accordingto the nature of the foundation belowand the steepness of the cliff face.At the junction of the length cou-

-1structed by the Corporation and ofthat length now in hand, there will bea noticeable differencein style, sincethe cantilever wall will be steppedback two or three feet behind thelevel of the simple wall fee, but it isconsidered that a rounding off of thecorner will make an attractive, finish.Had tho straight-outwall system beenfollowed over the whole lengthof tharoadway up to the first bend, a tre-mendous amount of concrete wouldhave been required to reach down tothe steeply-falling face, a much moreexpensive job without a correspond-ingly increased return in usefulness.

THE SAFETY MARGINThe roadway will bo carried on the

solid for the full length and the can-tilever which will support the footwayhas been designed to stand up to aweight of two hundredweight to thesquare foot, with a considerable safe-ty margin above that again. It isnot likely, in fact, it is impossible,that sightseers massed upon the newfootway will exceedthat weight limit,and the additional, strength has beenallowed for in the designing of rein-forcing and depth of concrete to pro-vide for possibilities of heavy motorvehicles running off the roadway.

Over the full length of the road andfootway from the Bay parade to thebend a 3ft 6iu balustrade in concrete,with 'a Maltese cross design every sofar will give full protection from riskof fall down the bank, and will also jserve as a wind break. The balus-trade, carried always on the outeredge of the footway, will give a con-tinuity of line which will to a con-siderable extent hide the differencesof type in the wallingbelow.

At several points on the inner sideof the roadway bluffs are being cuthard back to give a practicallystraight road and aclear view of traf-fic ahead. The old hairpin bend isa hairpin no longer, for the mannerin which the banks have been cutback gives a wide sweep which shouldnot trouble any driver

THE UPPER LENGTH jThe next length of the road, run-

ning back towards the city, will betreated in very much the same way;tho traffic will be carried against thfbank, cut back at several .points, uponthe solid, and the footway will berun along on the outer side, for thegreater length, upon piers. Since,the footway is on the outer side inboth eases it follows that pedestrianswill have to cross over the roadwayat the big'bend, but if a sound jobwas to be carried out economically, itwas considered, there was no otherway out of it. Pedestrian traffic, inany case, is not marked upon CarltouGore road, a much shorter cut being

!provided by tho steps and zig-zagstarting near the kiosk.

SPRING CLEANINGClosely connected with the progress

of the "new roadway is an improve-ment of the Parade on past the kiosktowards Point Jerningharu. The firstfew feet, merely something more thanthe foundation, of the seawall ex-tension have been carried on to-wards the point to form a toe wallto hold the spoil shot down the hill-side from excavations above, andthough at the present time this partof the Parade is in what might "bodescribed as a real spring cleaninguproar, it is plain that the improve-ment will be very great when the fill-ing has settled down for paving, andwhen, some day, the upper part of theseawall is completed. <

The whole length of Oriental Bayparade, in fact, is in an uproar, butfaster progress i3being made in therelaying of tram tracks, and the endof the job is not so far distant. Fol-lowing the track gangs the pavingcrews wil take charge, aiid OrientalBay will lose at once its dust andmuch of .its traffic noise. It is idleat the present time to repeat com-plaints as to the state of the road-way; suffice it to say that it hasnever be-on worse—a crisis, as it were.

A SPEEDWAY?A good deal of surprise has been

expressed at the remarkable bankinggiven the tram tracks upon the rathersharp bend just past the To Arobaths, but probably more surprise willbe expressed when the road surfaceis built up to tlie new form planned('or it. Hore will be Wellington'siirst, marked example of super-clcva?lion, flu; bunking of curves to pro-vide ii safe way for fast motor traf-fic. So considerable will be Ule bank-ing tliiil. ;i conorpte u-all will h;ivcto be Lunstnicted to carry the outer

r; v~ of tli(i roadway, well above (holevel of' the present footpath. Thevvall will bo carried upwards anothereighteen uichos or bo to prevent motor

vehicles from running off the trackon to the footbath.

Oriental Bay parade has not in thepast been regarded as a speedway^but the provision being made at thispoint to afford safety to drivers whofavour real progress, round cornersas well as on the straight, may lendsome encouragement to the beliefthat the Parade will seegreater speedin future. The roadway at this pointhas for a long time been regarded asunsatisfactory, the banking of the oldroad being given towards the outeredge of the curve, thus tending tothrow vehicles further out, and a re-cent narrow escape from a seriousmotor smash probably had a good dealto do with the decision to re-bankthe roadway, to minimise the risk ofcars slipping from the smooth pave-ment and ending up in the harbour.Bond banking has been given also,though tho appearance is much lessstriking, upon several bends of thelength of the Evans Bay road nowsurfaced, but notwithstanding thisprovision for their greater safety,motorists arc not wholly pleased withtlie nmniier in which corners in EvansBay have been finished off. A 24ftpavement was prescribed, "and 24ft ithas been, with the result that uponthe first turn, running from town, onthe bitumen surface, the city-bounddriver finds himself with two choiceseither of taking the sharp turn (ap-proximately a right angle) by swing-ing out on the bitumen, where heniay or may not meet another drivercutting it fine, or by hugging thebank closely by running on tho unsur-faced wing or haunch. The mannerhi which this length of wing is beingsteadily pounded shows plainly thatmany prefer to hug tho bank. A fewmore yards of pavement would havebeen required to smooth off this cor-ner, but regular' road-users expressthe opinion that the trifling addi-tional cost would have been very wellworth while.

MOTOR REGISTRATION

A MATTER OF SALESMANSHIP.

A question of interest to motorsalesmen was decided at the Magis-trate's Court to-day, in a judgmentdelivered by Mr. C. K. Orr Walker,S.M., in a caso in which HenryEsau Avery, manager of the FordSales and eSrvice, was charged withbeing tho owner of three motor-carswhich were used with demonstrationnumber plates attached.

The police, alleged that the cars,which were driven by the defendant'ssalesmen,bore only demonstrationnumber plates, and had not been usedfor demonstration purposes.

The defence contended that thecars had been used only for the 'pur-pose of sale, and that the provisionsof section 18 of the Motor Vehicle1.;

Act had been complied with.The facts showed that in one of the

cases, which was, taken as a test, de-fendant's salesman actually used theear for his own purposes in driving"out to a football match on a Saturdayafternoon. He had to show the carto a possible purchaser in the evening, and as the ordinary garage wasclosed in the afternoon, he drove thecar to the football match whilst,waiting for the appointment."I don't think the use of the cor

on the isolated occasion mentionedwould prove that the car was heldfor other than sale purposes," raiilhis Worship. "If it were shownthat a car held for sale was used bysalesmen generally for driving to andfro on their own or their firm's ac-count, and not directly in connectionwith the sale of the car, the defend1

of section IS could not be successful-ly pleaded.

"Each case must be dealt with onits merits, and as section 18 can beso easily abused by traders, the Courtmust look with care into the circum-stances of each case to see that theprovisions of the Act as to payingfull license fee are not evaded."

His Worship held that the defend-ant had proved that the car was re-tained for purposes of sale, and dis-missed the information. The othertwo charges were withdrawn.

BRANDY IN THE HOME.

THE MENACE :OE PROHIBITIONISTS.

{ADVICE xO WOMEN ELECTORS.

A SOUND SPECIFIC. REMEDY j

In nearly every home ,in this Dominion Brandy is kept inthe cupboard in case of sickness or emergency. Jivery mother,every housewifeknows its usefulness,its safety, and its merit.

During the.. influenza, epidemic Brandy saved the lives ofthousands,and that is the reason why this alcoholic stimulant iskept in nearly every home. Brandy has been proved to be asound and specific remedy.

.WHAT PROHIBITIONISTS PROPOSE?By now every woman in New Zealand has learned how tho

New Zealand Alliance Advocate of Prohibition, Mrs.. HelenBarton, has made a sworn statement in these words:—.

"I believe in Prohibition out and out.""I do not believe in alcohol as a medi-

cine.""I wobid not give brandy to a dying

child even if a drop of brandy would savetho child's life."

""' That is the New Zealand Ailianca laid bare. That is the' menace of Prohibition. Properly iaed, all alcoholic stimulantsare beneficial. Thousands of doctors confirmthis opinion. Onlya few who wish to pander to Prohibition fanaticism and pre-judice are of the opposite view. All practice has proved thaefficacy of Brandy.

«

A DANGER TO BE AVOIDED ;■'"■""' ■'■If Gontinuanceis not carried, Women Electors,Wives, andMothers will not be permitted to keep any alcoholic stimulant

in their homes. That is the menace of Prohibition. THEKEEPING OF BRANDY IN THE HOME WILL BE MADIiA CRIME.

THE MENACE OF THE ALLIANCE :If Continuanceis not carried the law provides for thamaking of regulations by Parliament.That is why the New Zealand Alliance aims at capturing

Parliament,by urging its members to make Prohibition the onlypolitical question for their consideration. Because they knowthat a. Parliament of Prohibitionists of tho Mrs. Helen Barton

\ typo would treat the keeping of Brandy- in tho home aa »crime.

THE REAL OBJECTIVE :THE WOMEN OF NEW ZEALAND WILL NOT BE MIS-

LED BY THE subterfuge and subtlety of the New ZealandAlliance's trickery and' deception.

Tho Prohibitionist Orga-nisation is a suare for the unwary.Mrs. Helen Barton uncovered tho real objective of■ the Ne\rZealand Alliance. A

The Women Electors of New Zealand now know how imperti-nent tho Prohibitionists are. Women Electors will now knowthat the only safe course for them to adoot is to strike outthe Two Bottom Lines, thus:—

CAILLAUX NOT IN OFFICE

TREASURY IN DUAL HANDS,

(ENrriD PRJsa association copirioht.)(REUTERS TELEQUASI.)

(Received 30th October, 11.30 a.m.)PARIS, 29th October.

The new Cabinet has been complet-ed.

M. Painlovo ia Premier and Min-ister of Finance; M. Briancl is For-eign Minister; and M. Perricr, Min-ister for the Colonies.

Tho new Government is distinctlymore to tho Left than the outgoingone, and consists of thirteen Radicals,five Republican Socialists, and threeRadical Loft members.

Apart from tho disappearance ofM. Caillaux, the most significant de-parture is that of Senator Chaumct,v.l:o represented the Moderates in theSenate. His portfolio, that of Com-merce, is assigned to M. Daniel Vin-cent; who was a Minister undc:' M.Poincare, and who belongs to theLoucheur group. It is announcedthat Senator Chaumet will bo ap-pointed Governor.of the Bank ofFranc.

M. Herriot is represented by twoof his principal lieutenants, M. Chau-tcnvps and M. Daladior. The formerinsisted on the portfolio of Justice,which carries with it the Deputy Pre-miership. . " .

An important feature is the divi-sion of tho Finance Department intotwo sections, the Treasury, of whichM. Painleve is head, and tho Budget,which is entrusted to M. Bonnet, Un-der-Secretary of the Premier's De-partment in the last Cabinet. Allthe new members of the Cabinet havepreviously held office, except SenatorPerrier. All are Deputies exceptfour. '" , ■

The newspapers state that tho So-cialists, M. Blum ' and M. Boncour,declined portfolios, but promised tosupport tho new Government's finan-cial reform plans, while stipulating"Jiat there must be no supplementaryaxes.

ANTICIPATIONS

(AUSTRALIAN.NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATIOH.)LONDON, 29th October.

M. Painlevc was busy all night longCabinet-making. It is consideredlikely, in view of the ovents in Syriaand Alorocco,that ho will retain theWar Ministry, and seek another Fin-ance Minister. It is believed thattin: recall of General Sarrail will boim<.mg the iirst acts- of the new Cab-■net.

(AUS*KALIAN-NEn* ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.)LONDON, 29th October.

The full story of Damascus has notyet been published in France. TheWar Ministry stated last night thatit was not in a postion to confirm ordeny tho story of the bombardment.Tho foreign Ministry has issued astatememnt declaring t.hat tlio eventshave been exaggerated. Tlio Press,however, does not accept the denialsor attempts to minimise tho reports.

Tlio "'.Daily .Express" speciallycabled to the secretary of the i'ales-vine Arab Congress respecting a mes-sage from Jerusalem stating thatthousands of innocent*, persona hadperished. The reply states that thostory; that a number of. women and

children were buried in tho ruins wasstill unverified, but fugitives insist-on the truth of their statements. Thoreply affirms that the French are sup-pressing the correct news. Thebombardment was directed upon thedensest quarters of the city, and last-ed fifty hours.

SARRAIL'S ACTION DEPLORED

(SXDNEI SUN CABLE.)

PARIS, 28th October.It is feared that despite tho civil

evacuation pf Damascus, a militaryretirement will bo necessary. It isannounced that 10,000reinforcementsare on the way to tho city, some ofthem from Morocco. The newspapersdeplore* General Sarrail's administra-tion, and regret that ho obstinatelyrejected tho broad hint that he shouldreturn.

A British refugee asserts that thebombardment killed 300 French andseveral thousand Syrians.It is semi-ofh'cially explained in

Paris that when General Gamolin'scolumn left Damascus,leaving a smallFrench garrison, the Druses beganlooting. Tho garrison, fearing itwould bo .overwhelmed, decided toshell the quarter which the Drusesmust crosj if they attempted to at-tack the garrison.

NO TIME TO FOLLOW CONVEN-TION

(AUSTBALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION,).LONDON, 29th October.

The "Morning Post's" Paris cor-respondent says that well-informedpersons admit that General Sarrailat Damascus failed to respect certaininternational laws. It is understood,that in reply to the French Govern-'ment's inquiry, General Sarrail statesthat he had not time to respect thelaws in question. If he had bornethem in mind the catastrophe wouldhave been much greater.

(Received 30th October, 9 a.m.)LONDON, 29th October

. Captain '.Roberts,'of New Zealand,in the presenco oi! research officersof tho Air Force, conducted import-ant tests which he believes will provethat he has found the secret of avoid-ing interference with wireless. Thetests took the form of a competitionbetween Captain Roberta's apparatusand that of tho Air Force experts.

Captain Roberts, declared, "I pro-pose using my own wireless transmit-ter to light red and green lights upon vthe receiver opposite. I will lightthem singly and together as you com-mand.. Then you fix up your, trans-mitter and do your utmost to in-terfere."

Captain Bobcrts, as ordered, wire-lessly lighted first one and then theother, and then both lamps. " Thenthe Air Force experts transmitterwith five times the strength of Cap-tain Eoberts 's, buzzed and crackled inan attempt to jam the signals. Never-theless Captau Roberts completelycontrolled the lights. Captain Eob-erts pointed out that this was theidentical . method which would beused for the wireless control of a tor-pedo or any other machine.

Tho "Daily Express" says that theAir Force officials, who in the first in-stance were; incredulous of their in-ability to interfere with tho trans-mission, were most impressed, andpropose to undertake further tests.

LOYAL RAILWAYMENN.S.W. RE-GRADING BILL

AN ANGRY DEBATE

"REWARDING D.ISLOYALT,: ANDHONOUR."

(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT,)SYDNEY, 29th October.

In the Legislative Assembly, Mr.Lang sprang a surprise by movingfor leave to introduce a Bill to vali-date certain actions of the RailwayCommissioners in connection 'with there-grading of the 1917 strike loyalists.He intimated that the Government in-tended to force the Bill through atone sitting, and moved the suspensionof the Standing Orders to enable thisto be done.

The motion was carried amid disorder, and the Bill was introduced.Mr. Lang explained that the Billwas necessary to remove a technicaldifficulty which had arisen throughtho decision of the Court rendering il-legal certain acts of the Commission-ers relating to tho reinstatement ofrailway employees. Mr. Lang addedthat unless the Bill was passed therailway service would be thrown intothe utmost confusion.

Mr. Bavin opened an angry debate,in which he charged tlio Governmentwith forcing the hands of the Rail-way Commissioners, unfairness to thepeople, and brow-beating the loyalistmen of the service, who were unableto defend themselves. The Govern-ment had not yet won. The Bill hadto go to, the Legislative Council, andif the Council accepted a Bill deliber-ately designed to reward disloyaltyand dishonour, and punish loyalty andhonour, then it would bo a good thingif tho Council were wiped out ofexistence.

BILL FORCED THROUGHFIERCE ATTACKS ON THE

SYDNEY, 29th October.. The Assembly continued the debate,one of the bitterest and hottest everheard in the House.

Mr. Bruxner said the Governmentwas prepared to back up anybodywho wanted to see the wheels oftransport stopped am1, the countryplunged into chaos. They wore pav-ing the way for astate of affairs simi-lar to that which existed in Queens-land.

Other speakers fiercely attackedthe Government, but amid continuedexcitement, tho speeches were short-ened by the frequent use of the guil-lotine, and tho Bill was forcedthrough all stages and sent to thoCouncil before tho House rose.

It is anticipated that the Councilwill reject tho measure.

POINTS FROM CANDIDATES' SPEECHES

Nothing To Do With The Strike,"The Labour candidates have had

a bad time over the seamen'hstrike," said Mr. C. H. Chapman, La-bour candidate for the Wellington.Suburbs seat, at Island Bay lastevening,. "but the Labour candidateshad no nioru to do with the seamen 'astrike than they had with a lire inHong Kong. No matter tho Labourcandidates did get the blame. . . .Prom a humanitarian point of view,no one could ever believe in strikesas a method of settling disputes. Ihave never stood for strikes, and I,in common with all the Labour can-didates, urge always that we standfor the settlement of these quarrelsat the ballot box, which provides "■ asafer, a saner, and certainly a morijeffective means of settling troublesthan the strike The strike'Shouldberelegated to the scrap heap. AVhen a.strike is embarked upon it means suf-fering, suffering that is born -moreby the women and the children thanby the men."

'' Our opponents call us all 'sorts ofhard names, hoping that some' ofthem will stick, and that you peoplewill be afraid to put us into power.AVhat we propose to do is to give youback . the power you should alwayshave had." (Hear, hear, and ap-plause.)—Mr. H. E. Combs, Labourcandidate for Wellington North, atNorthland last evening.

"Twelve hours is' a big week'swork for them," said Mr. A. L. Mon-teith, of the members of tho UpperHouse, at tho New CenturyHall lastnight, "and it knockod off for theweek after five minutes' work on oneoccasion. In six weeks,'' he continu-ed, after citing the actual hoursworked daily, "they worked 33 hours10 minutes. And these are tho peo-ple, if the worker asks for reducedhours or more wages, who hold uptheir hands in holy horror."Mild and Not So Mild,

Mr. C. 11. Chapman, the Labourcandidate for Wellington Suburbs,entered a protest, while speaking atIsland Bay last evening, againststatements, which he characterised asthoroughly false, that tho LabourParty had much in common withCommunism,with the Bolsheviks ■ ofRussia, and other extremists. "Theydo not actually say that wo aro inthe pay of Moscow,5' said Mr. Chap-man, "but 'we have much in com-mon.' Take thoso Labour candi-dates whom you yourselves know: Mr.Mouteith, a mild man; Mr. M'Keen,another mild man; Mr. Peter Frascr,perhaps not so mild. We havo allbeen referred to as extremists; havoour past actions suggested that thatcharge is with or without founda-tion?""Free SchoolBooks."

'Tree school books?" said Mr. A.L. Montcith at Kent terrace lastnight, quoting prominent newspaperheadings which he said had interestedhim. But what did they find whoread tho article? After a good dealof enthusiasm, but confined to theheadlines, was the statement that SirJames Parr had expressed the opin-ion that a largo part of parents' edu-cational expense was on exercisebooks, etc., and .that ho had express-ed tho intention of asking Cabinetfor a grant in order that they mightbe provided free of cost. It remind-ed the speaker of the story of Henrythe Maori, and tho new publican.Henry praised the district and thepeople, and, congratulating tho pub-lican upon having settled there, turn-ed to go. "What about the price ofthe beer?" queried the publican."Oh! Put it on the slate," saidHenry. "No slate, Henry," was theuncompromising answer. "Py corryI tink you te big fool," rejoinedHenry. "You might forget." Henryknew tho publican had no chance ofgetting it, but ho thought it shouldbe on record. "Free school books?"said Mr. Monteith. "Free nothing!Thero is a promise you might getthem, but if I know the KeformParty you will not get them."

Amid Smiles.

wright declared himself in favour of adefencepolicy adequate for ouv nationalsafety commensurate with economy. Incontrast, lie referred to two clauses inthe pliilforin of the Labour Party, oneproviding for the repeal of all measuresof defence,and the other for "politicalunity of the workers of all countries."This meant that tho Labour Party inNew Zealand was ready to confer equalpolitical rights on Japanese and Chinese.

A well-known Labour interjector :"Quite right too !"

Mr. Sievwright : "With no defencepolicy, by conferring political rightson Asiatics, the Labour Party is invit-ing tho overflowing population of Chinaand Japan to come" to New Zealand intheir swarms, with their low standardof living, their different moral code, andtheir Eastern diseases. The white popu-lation would be outnumbered, and finallyoverthrown. I will giveno countenanceto such wanton ideas. The people ofNew Zealand can condemn such schemesby voting against the Labour Party'scandidate in Wellington South," (Ap-plause.)Two Pn-r'.los Only.

"I ask you to consider fully the poli-tical position that lies ahead," said Mr.Coates at Napier last night. "I saythis," continued the Premier withforce, "that no set of men were evermore anxious to get back to. the two-party system of Governmentthan thepresent members,of the .. GovernmentParty. (Applause.) .We are straight-forward and honest, and I ask yon totake no notice of what has been saidabout Mr. M'Leod in regard to the fusionbreakdown. If you want to blame any-one, blame me, and no one else. (Ap-plause.) This sort of thing does nogood. 1 want you to remember that thedecision rests with me, and I have notbeen in the habit of being influenced .bythis one or that. There are broaderprinciples, ladies and gentlemen, and itis upon those that I base my decisions."(Prolonged applause.)

Bungling Socialist Leaders."In the past I have seen the Socalistic

Leaders of Labour bungle times out ofnumber. Their bungling has broughtmuch misery upon hundreds of good andhonest workers, while they. themselvesundergo no hardship. That is why thethinking working man is going to sup-port the policy of stability and progress,for which 1 stand in this election."—Mr. A. B. Sievwright at Berhampore.TV" 7'-u-s Ago.

There was . only one party now,and that was the Eeform, declaredMr. Duubar Sloane, Reform candi-date for Wellington Central, at Cam-bridge terrace last evening, in declar-ing himself a straight-out supporterof Mr. Gordon Coates. It was abouttime, he said, that Liberals and Ee-form got together and made onestrong united party.Kcod for Co-operation.

"The man who is using the land, tobring out products cannot have toomany facilities to aid his doing.so,"said Mr. Walter Nash, Labour candi-date for Hutty when speaking at East-bourne last evening. "I would do allthat I can to help that man as a pro-ducer, but when he becomes a landspeculator I would do nothing for himat all." What is wanted, he continued,is co-operation between the people .whoare rendering useful service to the com-munity. Between the farmer, and theseaman, and the railway worker, r.ndthe watersider, these . are all inter-dependent and should work together."I believe wo shall have that co-opera-tion much sooner than most people ex-pect," he concluded.Putting Up a Record.

Mr. Dunbar Sloane,Reform candi-date for Wellington Central, declaredat his meeting at Cambridge terracelast night that ho was putting up arecord for the electorate, both in re-spect to the numbers attending hismeetings, and patient hearings. ,Hewas pleased to know that he 'hadcaught on with tho- workers, whocrowded to his meetings in hundredsand listened very attentively to whathe had to say.What Would You Do?

Amid, smiles from both Ecform andNationalist .supporters, who occu-pied the platform with him at LowerHutt, Mr. Bansom, campaigning onbehalf of Mr. Wilford, said that,though not a strong party uiuii, heyet felt somewhat hampered in hisremarks, as having just come from ahot party light, ho recognised thatstatements made there would not besuitable for a Lower Hutt audience,where lteformers and Nationalistswcro co-operating to support Mr.Wilford.

"I know you," said a questioner ;itMr. Nash's Eastbourne meeting lastevening, "and 1 know your word hasbeen your bond. Tel) mo this : Wouldyou, if yon mude an agreement, stickto it V" Tho speaker was referring tothe recent strike of British seamen.

"1 don't know," replied the candi-date. "1 believe 1 would, but it wouldbo difficult to know what to do.'' Thereal inwardness of the strike is notrealised in thia country, he continued.The seamen at Home, if they wanted ajob-, had to join a particular corpora-tion—the Havelock VVilson Union—thisorganisation making all the arrange-ments regarding wages. The reductionin wagesmeans starvation to the fami-lies of the men. The New Zealand La-bour Party had given all the help pos-sible to the women and children,,but .thequarrel was not theirs.

Something To Be Hoped For."The Prime Minister told me per-

sonally that he,greatly regretted thatnegotiations for fusion had brokendown, and it is certainly to behoped," said Mr. Ransom at LowerHutt last evening, "that after theelection a strong and stable Govern-ment will be formed from the bestbrains in Parliament."

A Voice : "Then you would sit on tiiefence?"

The candidate replied that he woulddo nil that he could to help the men toput up a good '"ght, but he would notask any. man to accept.a. wage.that.,hewould not accept himself.

The remark was greeted with uproar-ious laughter, someone calling out "Ger-man marks," which provoked furthermerriment.The Preference Clause.

"If returned to Parliament, wouldyou be willing to further a Bill to de-lete the preference clause to unionists?"was a question asked of Mr. W. Nash(Labour) at Eastbourne last evening."No!" decisively replied the candU.date. To do so would be a blow afccollective agreements, and he would voteand. speak to keep that clause in allindustrial agreements.Elimination of Land Agents.

Speaking on the Labour Party's landpolicy, Mr. E. M'Keen, Labour "candi-date for Wellington South, tit / Ne\v>';town, last night, said it guaranteed se-curity of tenure to the farmer, and fullvalue of the fruits of his labour. Bythis process it would eliminate the en-ormous number of land agents and'legit Igentry in this Dominion, hence the rea-son for tho malicious ..and .deliberate,misrepresentation by Labour's oppo-nents.Selling of Pumice Lands.

Mr.Coatesstated that the. position is thatthese men can record their voles fora Rangitikei candidate even though'they remain in Palmerston North, pro-viding they fill in and sign.the neces-sary declaration form and that just asthis applies in the specific instance itapplies to all like instances in every

"The Labour Party, above all else, isa constitutional party, aiming at theimprovement of the life of' the people,economically and socially, through Par-liamentary democracy."—Mr. R. . ,M'-Keen, Labour candidate for WellingtonSouth,speaking at Newtowiv last night.

"Glad To Get Me."That if Mr. Coateswas at the head

of a National Government he wouldhave no more ardent supporter thanhimself was the opinion expressed'by:Mr. J. J. M'Grath at his meeting atKelburn last night. ' ■

'

A voice: "Will you go in his Cabi-net?""Yes," replied Mr. M'Grath amidst

laughter, "and I think he would bejolly glad to get me." (Applause.)About a Pamphlet.

At Palmerston South', Mr. J. A.Maepherson, Nationalist candidatefor Oamaru, had something to sayabout tho somewhat sensational dis-closures made by the editor of the"North Otago Times."

"My local paper has," lie said,'''misrepresented me .gloriously everyday.

Now, I w,ant.to .saythat our party leader never saw- it.The new leader, Mr. Forbes, also de-nies having soon it, and his denial isborne out by Mr. Sidey, another mem-ber of the party executive. Toth^se statements can be added .thatof Mr. Veitch, of Wangaimi,"

The speaker quoted from Hansardtho denial made by Mr. Wilford atthe time. "That -editor,?* he pro-ceeded,"tries now,to show that thepamphlet was published under thedirection,and approval of the Liberal'Party. We have seen the statementsof Messrs.

And there is this advan-.tagethat a Labour member has overa Government member, and ; that isthat no scheme, however pretentious,however specious, will escape _ thescrutiny and criticism of tho LabourParty. "We have learned only toowell in Parliament to eye with .sus-picion any apparent gifts" from " the. Government." (Applause.)Unprofitable Crown Leaseholds.

"A! few years ago these' farmers,were prosperous," said Mr.' Mon-teith at Kent terrace last night,when speaking of leaseholds upon en-diwnient lands. "Five, years agothey owed the State less, than £50,----000 in rents. To-day they owo theBtate £544,000 in arrears in rents.Why9 Because of ■ the gambling inKind .which: has increased; in.costs,til", tho farmer cannot meet them. ft.is nice to.get something for nothing;quite good if you 'can. get it; but the.result is that the ultimate owner of1' o laud has to meet, the.'mountinginterest charges on that land annual-ly. Crown lands supply an illustra-tion oi' the extent of this evil, ofwhich the cities will.feel the reflec-tion." .Housing the Workers.

"If the Bailway Department canbuild five-roomed homes for its em-ployees for £674, it can build themfor ordinary citizens. South Aus-tralia grappled with the problem— |they have a Labour Governmentthere, but you don't hear, anythingiibout it, the only mention made is ofQueensland—and 1000 houses werebuilt, which /were sold on the prin-ciple of priority to the men with tholargest families. The first to get oneof the homes was a man. with elevenchildren. That is an example of what:i Labour Government can do whenit gets tho chaiice." (Applause.)—Mr. H. E. Combs, Labour .candidatefor Wellington. North, at Northlaudlast evening. ' .. .A Straight-out Issue.

"This issue in Wellington Central isa straight-out; issue," said Mr- Fraserlast, night—"tho issue between iiTory Government, wage-reduction,bungled housing, and mismanage-ment, and Labour with its forwardoutlook." (Loud applause.)

Conditions of Living.,"No fewer than 104,000people in

the Dominion are living under condi-tions which are a menace to publichealth," said Mr. -Eraser last night.''Those are the. Government Statis-tician's figures. Things arc worsenow than they have been at anytime since the Government o.r.me intooffice,and the Government's presenthousing proposals- are not likely tomeet the demand for more houses.The Bill iii'lOlD was a good one, butrill tho schemes'undertaken .-under itwere hopelessly bungled." The can-didate referred to the coming ejec-tion of 6S men and women out ofFrankville terrace. There, was no-where for them to go. The Govern-ment had nothingbetter to offer thanPublic Works hutments for the peo-ple Of Wellington. The Minister ofLabour had practically admitted that,tho Government was.,'.'baffled; "Hohoped tho Labour Party would neveragree to the erection of tenementhouses as suggested by the Govern-ment. Labour would see, a properh..using scheme to meet the needs ofthe people. .'. '.. '.

Money for Housing. . ,

Mr. Walter Nash (Labour), .whenspeaking at Eastbourne last evening,attacked tho Reform Party's housingpolicy—ol- lack of it, as lie declared.He said, that no one could boast inregard to tin; housing conditions inthis Dominion, which were rapidlygoing from bad to worse. What waswanted, he said, was a progressivepolicy in this respect, and the LabourParty would give,.any ..Government—'"Reform or Nationalist—every assist-ance to amend the existing shortage.Jt could not bo dono i:i five minutes,but it will hike five 'years to bringthe number..of houses necessaryintoexisfence. The trouble in the pasthud been that the Government ad-vances, instead of being used for newbuildings, had been used for the pur-chase of: homes already in existence,and in consequence the only personwho had benefited was ttin speculator.He. instanced what had been done inf-Vulh Australia, and Queensland in

111is respect. The present housing<:nn<litioii!i in New Zealand were com-pletely destroying tho home, life ofDie Dominion. The only way that na-tional prosperity could bo built up isby the happy and contented homo lifeor! a people, and there cannot be twohomes in one house.

Mr. Nnslt paid a tribute to Mr. W.T. Htnind, "ALayur of Lower Hull:, forliirt piotiocring lvork in cojuicct-ion\vif.li liciiisiiif; in. his district, -whiuhlie was i.'ndcavouruifc to carry out on{'iircleTi-rily lines. -ILo whs to bo com-jncndrd for what he was doing for lucHutt dialrn-t.Parliamentafy Eojmineration.

That ilie v.hole basis of Pririiamen-I;jvv rcj.'i'crcntation h service to tliopeople, as ia tho caso of juries, v.-hosoremuneration never pays for the time-"spent in Court, was a point made byMr. -I. J. M'Grath nt his meeting at

Kelburn last night. "Tho people,"snid Mr. M'Grath, "do not want thisservice at the cost of the individual,so it has always been considered rightto refund on a generousscale the out-of-pocket expenses of tho parliamen-tarian. He was not paid for the ser-vices ho rendered the country underthe system in vogue prior tr> ISM,and the sooner we got back to thisbasic idea the more wholesome andpurer will our political life become.To-day it is the happy hunting-ground of many opportunists. Theidea that auimated the late John Bal-Ifmce in fixing the remuneration at£20 per month was good. If wocould to-day return to this basis ofremuneration, I think we should havea better tone in our political life, andour legislation would be based moreon sound commonsenso and practicaleconomics than on tho impossible clap-trap that is so often suggested to theelectors."

ALLEGED MISREPRESENTA-TION

A MEAT COMPANY'S AFPAIRS,

A case in which 113 shareholders ina company proceeded against it forrescission of contract on tho groundsof misrepresentation was heard in theSupreme Court to-day before hisHonour Mr. Justice Alpers. Theparties were Dann le Crcn Morgan,secretary, and 112 others, plaintiffs,and the Taranaki Farmers.' MeatCompany, the defendants. Plaintiffswere represented by Mr. L. M. Moss(New Plymouth) and the defendantsby Mr. B. If. Quiiliam(New Ply-mouth). "The statement of claim was thatthe company was incorporated in1915, with a nominal capital of£150,000. From June, 1923, to June,1924, plaintiffs severally applied for 1

and were allotted ■&5 preferenceshares in a new issue of 12,000.prefer-ence shares, and had paid sums in re-spect thereof. Plaintiffs took theshares in response to statements madeby the company or in its behalf, andin . reliance on representations con-tained therein.' Such statements wereuntrue, and contained false r'eproscii.-tations of material facts, in that,amongst other, tilings, it was repre-sented that if plaintiffs took up thesaid shares the company's workswould be reopened for the freezingof stock, etc., that the issue ofl;i,uuv; shares was for that purpose,ami that the company:would freeze onconsignment, and not open any trad-ing accounts, that tho company hud'made satisfactory arrangements withtho Bank of New Zealand to openand restart the works on a sound fin-ancial'basis, that the new capital wasto be set aside for the opening of theworks, and would not, bo used for thepayment of back debts, and that thocompany had arranged to acquire thoivcrks from the Bank of New Zea-land for £120,000, or, alternatively,to reduce the company's indebtednessby the sum of .£120,000. Tho plain-Lift's alleged that in additionto . lho\ foregoing representations,it was represented by the companythatan expert, Mr. Macbeth, had reportedthat the company could be successfullyre-started,but it did not disclose thatthe expert recommended fresh capitalto the value of £85,000, of which £60,----000 'was to ho paid by tho Bank of NewZealand. Tho works had not been re-opened, and tho companycarried on itsbusiness by opening trading accounts,aud failed to freezeon consignment. Noarrangements had been made with tlidbank, which was substantially tho solecreditor of tho company and a party tothe representations made; Plaintiffsclaimed to have the contract to takeshares rescinded, repayment of theamounts paid tho company,and an in-junction to restrain tho companyfromtaking proceedings against them. inrespect of unpaid moneys.

The defencewas a genera! denial ofmisrepresentation, and alleged delay onthe part of the shareholders in exercis-ing their rights. In regard to Mae-belh's report it was stated that it wasread in full at a meeting of the com-pany.- Plaintiffs subscribed to theshares on the faith of their own judg-ment and inquiries, and not on repre-sentations made by the company,whichhad wound up on 6th February, 1925,because it could not continue businessby reason of its liabilities.

Legal argument was commenced thismorning, evidence having occupied thebetter part of a week at New Plymouth.

The weather conditions, from acompetitor's point of view, are notwhat could bo termed perfect, as thereis a stiff northerly wind.. A numberof the competitors, particularly thegirls, found the wind extremely trou-blesome, and their .pace was consid-erably reduced. The best perform-ance of the morning was registeredby Watt in the half-mile intermediatechampionship and handicap. Wattwas on the scratch mark, but, judginghis final run nicely, he came throughthe field in great style, and breastedthe tape the winner by twenty-liveyards in the good time of 2min 17 2-5sec.

SUPREME COURT

PRISONERS SENTENCED

Prisoners were sentenced this morn-ing by his Honour Ul2 Chief Justice(Sir Robert Stout).

James Ward and ChaftuoMorgan hadpleaded guilty to two charges of theft.Morgan, said his Honour, had manyprevious convictions, though in latteryears he had apparently improved hisbehaviour. Ward had no fewer than 34convictions, mostly for drunkenness,which was responsible for most of hisacts. This year alone he had live con-victions. In view of the fact that hewas addicted to drink, he would not im-pose v heavy penalty, but must imposeone that would deter others. He wouldbe sent to a farm, where the drinkwould be taken out of his system. Ittook a year to remove 1-e effects ofdrink. Each of them wouid be sentencedto two years' imprisonment with hardlabour.

James Walsh, guilty of theft, wasrepresented by Mr. W. H. Tustin, whosaid that he had obeyed the terms ofhis probation.

His Honour : "He has apparently be-haved well (or the last ten years. 1would have given him probation wereit not for the fact of his previous con-viction, and that to rob a widow wholost her husband through cancer, is amean theft. I sentence him to ninemonths' imprisonment with hardlabour."

FEDERATION OFAMERICAN CHURCHES

DENOUNCES PRO-HIBITION

VERDICT PUTS N.Z. ALLIANCEINTO PANIC.

STARTLING REVELATIONS.One of the big five newspapers in

New York is "The Herald Tribune."Even the New Zealand Alliance will ad-mit that. "The Herald Tribune" is notaddicted to scare headlines; its columnscontain only carefully-considered cvi-I dence.* This influential journal has justpublished the report on the SocialCon-sequences of Prohibition in the United

I States,compiled by the Federal Councilof Churchesof Christ.

The "New Fork Evening World"(17th Sept., 1925) in an editorial on thisreport, describes it as

'AN HONEST CONFESSION"and as "the first in its evident searchfor the truth, without prejudice."

The editorial continues, "it wasnot the purpose to create a case againstProhibition, but the repoi- honestly andcourageously records the facts irrespec-tive of the consequences. We have notonly the admission that Prohibition hasfailed to reduce crime, but, on the con-trary, that under its operations crimehas increased. Not only have we theadmission, we have the figures. Thepet argument of the Prohibitionists inthe old days was that with the passingof beer and wine the asylums and gaolswould soou bo all but empty. Thetruth is that the asylums and gaols.aremore crowded than ever.

Here, 100,is the admission that drink-I ing among the young and in collegeshas increased sensationally. Hero alsois tho admission that respect for lawhas declined alarmingly. This report, from the Federal Council of Churchesis a powerful indictment of an unrea-sonable experiment."

[ The publication of this report, withits revelations of facts carefully hushedup by the paid Prohibitionists in thiscountry, has put the

N.Z. ALLIANCE IN A PANIC.1 In a feeble attempt to forestall anyeffort to bring the Churches' exposureof the Prohibition results before the'people of New Zealand,the professional"reformers" published a cablegramwhich is an extraordinary example ofsubtle "hedging" and naive half-truth.

This cablegram stated that the Fed-eral Council of Churchesis a support- Ior of Prohibition. Surely this makesthe1 Council's Report, of more signifi-cance than ever ! The Council's hon-esty in openly admitting the failure ofProhibition pills the hush-hush tacticsof the New Zealand Prohibitionists toshame.

There is something very wrong witha cause which fears the honest opinionsof ils own supporters, and (lie very factthat the Federal Councilof Churches hasrevealed (lie unutterable failure of JYo-hibitioi) will ivii'ry more weight withthe electors of New Zealand than allthe nervous of (lie New Zea-land Alliance H boccpines more Ihunever obvious thai (he only course opento Ihe New Zcalamlcr who lias hi?couiifry's ivellarc at heart is to strikeout the two Loiluui lilies en his ballotIjapcr.

SEAMEN'S STRIKE

POSITION OF-THE MEN.

Those members of the liner Arawa'screw, who were imprisoned at Wel-lington as the result of their attitudein connection with the seamen'sstrike, have now been released fromgaol, but as their ship is now someweeks out from Wellington, on herway to London, they arc as in as bada position as they were when thestrike first commenced. Tho strikersat Wellington have placed their casein tho hands of the New Zealand Alli-ance of Labour, and, according to anannouncement made a day or so ago,the Alliance had adv'sed the men toreturn to their ships. It is consider-ed in shipp'.ig circles, however, thatthe advice came a little too late, asmost of the ships that were affectedby the strike have already obtainedcrews, and are now Homeward bound,or are discharging or loading on, theNew Zealand coast., "'it is inevit-able," stated one shipping man thismorning, "that a large number.of themen will find themselves without em-ployment, and the appearances arethat it will prove a very difficult mat-ter for them to obtain employmentforsoni3 time."

ON THE HUSTINGS

SPEECHES BY CANDIDATESWELLINGTON SUBURBS

LABOUR'S "USEHOLD" POLICY

CRITICISED BY ME. X, A.WRIGHT.

Mr. R. ,A. Wright, Reform candidate;'or Wellington Suburbs, devoted thegreater part of hia address at the NgaioTown Hall last night to a close con-demnation of the land policy of theLabour Party.

Quoting from the land policy, \yhichhe said was one of the cardinal planksin the platform, he said that if it wasput into effect it would turn the exist-ing system upside-down. Sub-clause 2of clause 2 advocated "recognition ofilio interests of the whole community in

(he land by (a) a land tenure based)u occupaaicy and use, which shall se-;ure to the working farmer the fullfruits of his labour and exertions." Atpresent the land tenure was based uponthe freehold. There were farmers inNTew Zealand who did not enjoy thefull fruits of their labour because theyivere paying interest on a mortgage."Can it be," asked Mr. Wright, "thatthis clause regarding land tenure meansJhafc"the mortgagee is in anyway tosuffer—theman who has advancedmoneyon the land ? I think it does,andin support of that I will quote Mr. Hol-land. In 'Hansard,' volume 203, page202,he says: 'If the farmer gets thefull fruits of his labour and exertionsthere is nothing left for the mortgagee.'That seems plain and unambiguous lan-guage,and I can put only one construc-tion on it—that the payment of intereston a mortgage is not right or justi-fiable. Mr. Holland is also reported tohave said 'interest ia something fornothing.' Such an attitude is not onlywrong, not proper, and commerciallyimmoral, but it would affect everysingle one of us. . . . You have toremember that the mortgagees in NewZealand are practically the whole of thepeople of the country." Mr. Wrightreferred to the large number of people■who had borrowed money through theState Advances Department, and re-marked that surely nobody would saythat because a man was not getting thefull fruits of his labour he should notpay the State Advances Department themoney he owed it. It would mean dis-aster to the credit of the Dominion ifwe were, to deny our obligations in sucha way.

The Labour Party, he continued,ad-vocated the socialisation of the means"ofproduction, which meant the land, andthis affected dwellers both in town andcountry. The Labour platform pre-scribed a State valuation of all private-ly owned land, such valuation to re-main on record as a measure of the pre-sent landholder's interest in the land.Privately owned land was not to besold or transferred except to the State.The owner-was .to have the right..'to: sur-render his land on a valuation. ' Mr.Wright drew attention to the fact that■''all" privately owned land was to bevalued. If an owner wished to leavehis property he must sell to-the' Stateat the price fixed under the Govern-ment valuation and recognised by theValuation Board, whereas under the ex-isting system he could sell to the high-est bidder. It was notorious .that Gov-ernment valuations were below themarket value. But if the market price"of a property had goneup, surely theowner was entitled to receive the ap-preciated price. The candidate claimedthat any person had a clear right tosell his land in the open market.

Two clauses in the Labour policyseemed to be contradictory to the"clauses he had referred to, ,he con-tinued. One said that for the purposeof closer settlement the policy., wouldbe immediately applied to large aggre-gations of agricultural and- pastoral landexceeding £20,000in unimproved value.It should be noticed, however, thatthough.that might appear- contradic-tory, it was complementary to theclauses he had quoted. If it meant any-thing, it meant that it could com-menceat £20,000and would later be ap-plied to properties of lower unimprovedvalue. Another apparently contradic-tory clause said that the provisions ofthe land policy should apply to all landon which the State had made advances.-Mr. Wright concluded with the remarkthat it was not in accordance with theprinciples of fair play and free trade toprevent a man selling his property atthe market price.—(Extended report byarrangement.)

The fortnight passed, said the candi-date, had seen many charges and coun-ter-charges, and . the chief of thosecharges against the Labour candidateshad been that they were extremists,that they had something in common■with the Bolsheviks of Kussia, if they■were not in the actual pay of Moscow,and muoh in common with Communism.That charge was false; the LabourParty stood for constitutional progress,and had nothing in common with those■who advocated a policy of armed force.The policy was sane and moderate,butif the opponents of Labour succeededin frightening away a few votes fromLabour candidates then the lie wouldhave achieved its object.

Mr. Chapman again referred to the"7s 6d wage adjustment" for the as-sistance of large families already sogreatly discussed and refuted by mem-bers of the Government. Had the"Labour candidates not drawn attentionlo the matter, it was extremely prob-able that the Government, if returned topower, would have then pointed outthe proposals contained in the reportof the Department1 of Labour as theirsolution of tho problem, and had thoseproposals been adopted—and no otherproposals had been produced by theGovernment—thereal effect would haveIkm?m a. reduction of wage:;. r.l ho Labourcandidates had been fully justified incalling attention to the only Govern-ment proposals ihat could bo found.'The Labour Party proposed also toassist large families, not by an adjust-ment of workers' wages, but by pay-ments from the Consolidated Fund, ba-fore remissions of taxation were made.

The housing problem was briefly dealtwith, the Governmentbeing criticisedfor its failure to improve the position m3iiv degree. The Labour candidatesv-rrc pledged to tackle the problem ina. serious manner by buijdhig a largenumber of houses upon suitable areas,the erection of numbers making pos-

siblo a considerable reduction in build-ing costs.

Other planks of the Labour platformwere explained and several questionswere replied to. The candidate wasaccorded,a unanimous vote of thanksand confidence.

WELLINGTON CENTRAL

MR. P. FRASER'S ADDRESSES

Mr. Peter Fraser, Labour candidatefor Wellington Central, addressed ' asomewhat sparse meeting of electorsin tho Congregational Church School-room, Cambridge- terrace, last even-ing. Mr. B. 13. Scruten presided. Thecandidate gave an account of hisstewardship as member for the dis-trict since 1919, and attributed hisincreasing majority as a mark of in-creased confidence in the LabourParty. He had always supportedeverything that tended to improvethe workers' conditions. He stronglyattacked what lie called the ReformGovernment's policy of wage reduc-tion and unblushing concern for thewealthy section of the .community.He challenged his opponent to declareopenly whether he believed or not inthe Government's policy in this direc-tion. As to housing, he ridiculed theGovernmentStatistician's estimate ofaveragerents. Tho various steps hadrobbed the workers of many millionsin wages through the action of theGovernment and the ArbitrationCourt. The Government hacl helpedto make tho conditions worse thanthey were. Did the Reform candi-date approvo of this?

Mr. Fraser then strongly advocatedtho Labour Party's motherhood en-dowment scheme. For half theamount granted the wealthy'in re-duced taxation motherhood could berelieved of its terror of wantpoverty. The .candidatereferred ouccmore' to tho Rowley report as aschema with Government approval forthe assistance of families out of thewages of single men. It was ridicu-lous for the Prime Minister +o ascribethe scheme to Mr. Piddington, K.C.There was not a quotation mark inthe report. The Government hadsimply been found with the goods onit. The Labour Party claimedthat the Prime Minister's present at-titude was another .victory" for La-bour. (Hear, hear.).

Mr. Fraser complained very bitter-ly■of their .opponents' misrpe..esenta-tion of Labour's land and housingpolicy. There was no intention ofinterfering with the people' 3 equityin their homes. The Labour Partywas out to get homes for the people,and its land policy would assistthat and give the people security oftenure.

Other matters touched on'were pen-:sions and Labour's continual agita-tion for more adequate amounts forwidows' and its proposals for betterconditions. This, policy Labour in-tended to pursue in tho direction ofits goal as outlined in its plat-form. Labour also advocated a Statemedical service, with free hospitaltreatment- and free medical treat-ment for mothers. These \verß com-paratively easy of accomplishment.Health was not an individual ques-tion to-day, but a matter of publicimportance.

The candidate concluded with ap-plause. He spoke also at the; WebbStreet Hall on the Government's re-cord and its reduction of taxation tothe wealthy portion of the commun-ity, immigration, and other aspects ofcurrent politics. An attentive hear-ing was given, and vot.es of thanksand confidence passed in each case.

WELLINGTON NORTH

MR. H. E. COMBS AT NORTHLAND

Mr. H. E. Combs, Labour candidatefor Wellington North, continued hiscampaign before a good attendance' atSt. Anne's Schoolroom, Northland, lastevening. Mr. M. Walsh was chairman.

The candidate outlined tho LabourParty's advocacy of proportional repre-sentation, and the introduction of thereferendum by which the people couldhave control of all legislation. Thiswould obviate the need for the Legisla-tive Council, and the money spent onthis second Chambercould be divertedto_ a more useful purpose. WilJy-nilly,said Mr. Comts,the Reform Govern-ment and the Liberal Party had pushedthrough Parliament legislation enforc-ing the wage cuts in . the Public Ser-vice in 1922. This could never havebeen accomplished if the people badhad the right to vote on the questionper medium of the referendum. Dis-cussing his party's land policy, thecaudidate emphasised the point thatthere was nothing whatever in it relat-ing to confiscationof land. The idealatato would be one family to one home,one farmer to one farm, and the State,under Labour, could establish such anideal. Land tax would be re-graded so'that the big estates would be forcedinto full production, and closer settle-ment would be advocated so that newsettlers would have the chance of suc-cessfully working their holdings. liestrongly criticised the Reform Govern-ment's land policy, which had broughtabout so many failures among settlersin the past. The basic wage and themotherhood endowment scheme wereother points touched upon by the can-didate, who was accorded a hearty voteof thanks and confidenceat the conclu-sion of his address.

MR. M'GRATH AT KELBURN

Mr. J. J. .M'Cinith, Independent Nut-iunalist candidate, for Wellington North,addressed an iaidieuce of 250 in tliuTraining College Hall, Kelburn, lastnight. Mr. VV. 11. Tustin presided.The candidate was given a good andorderly hearing.

Mr. M'Grath condemned the three-party system, and said he was convincedthat it National Governmentshould boformed from amongst the best brains inthe House, so ;is to effect a return tothe two-party system. (Applause.) AtInvercargil, Reform was lighting againstthe return of Si)' Joseph Ward, a fiuan-cifiv whose services should be availableto the country, and that seemed to showthat tho Reform Party did not want a

National Government. If Reform cameback from the polla with a majority,tho speaker did not believe any niorowould bo heard of v National Govern-ment. However, if Mr. Coatesdid forma National Government, then ho wouldhave no more loyal, if humble, support-er than tho speaker. (Applause.) Onthe other hand, if Mr .Coateswas atthe hond of a. Reform Governmentanda wnnfc-of-conlidencomotion was movedon the ground that tho party had failedto support a National Government,thenho (the speaker) would deem it his dut-vto vote- for it. (Applause.)

TAXATION "REDUCTIONS."After stating that ho was opposed to

Prohibition, but would strive- for re-form of the liquor traffic, Mr. M'Grathdealt with financial questions, and urgedthat surpluses should be applied to debtreduction, as was done in Britain. Hothen devoted some attention to taxation,the total volume of which, he contend-ed, showed no reduction. Tho recom-mendation of the Taxation Commissionthat income tax should bo paid in re-spect of income derived from land hadbeen ignored by the Government. "TheLand and Income Tax Act, 1923, pro-vides that income derived by any ownerof land in respect of the profits derivedfrom the direct use or cultivation thereofshall have exemption from tax," saidMr. M'Grath. "What is the result?Here are a few staggering facts :—A squatter in the Wairarapa pasturing26,400sheep and securing gross profitsfrom wool, sheep, lambs, and cattle, andallowing 33 1-3 per cent, for workingexpenses and other charges, made an in-come of £39,600, and by this remissionof income tax made a saving of £6600.This was the special gift from the Re-form Government to a wealthy squatter.Another family got a taxation remissionequal to £10,935, and they weren't theluckiest, for another family got £22,132as a gift in remission of taxation.Thirty-five wealthy famines divided be-tween them a gift of £122,400per an-num from' the public funds, or an aver-ageof £3710 each, equal to payment ofinterest at 4 per cent, on a capital of£3,800,000. This is the kind of reduc-tion in taxation for which the .ReformGovernment takes credit." 'me Taxa-tion Commission recommended that"these poor squatters" should be madoto pay this tax, because it was only fairand equitable . that they should do so.(Applause.) The other recommendationmade by the Taxation Commission was"That the Commissioner of Taxes shouldassess as net income S per cent, on thecapital value of any land lying idle,and not being utilised,,so as to producereasonable income." That was an obvi-ously sound recommendation, but theReform Government winked tho othereye, and that remained a recommenda-tion and nothing more. The Govern-ment's claim to having reduced taxationcould not be supported by facts. s Mr.M'Grath went into figure's in detail tosupport this contention.

The Budget for the past financialyear showed an increase in revenue of£632,630,and of that amount Customscontributed £327,409,a large partof thatbeing levied on the necessities of life.The land tax tor that year decreasedby £91,211, and the income tax de-creased by £395,480.,In the estimate ofrevenue for the current financial yearthere appeared a further estimated in-crease in Customsof £111,000, whilstthere were further estimated decreases inland tax of over £85,000,and in incometax of over £36,000. The income taxpayable this year was based on the in-come to the 31st: March, 1925, a yearwhen the wooj kings revelled in fancyprices for their wool and for their fatsheep and lambs. In spite of this, therewas to tie a decrease in the income tax.He maintained that the estimated in-crease of £111,000from Customs was' anunder-estimate,and for that reason thoGovernment floated a loan in London inMay of this year of £7,000;000. Ap-proximately three millions of thatamount must be transferredto New Zea-land, and the transfer could be effectedonly by the export of merchandise fromGreat Britain, or from .some other coun-try with whom Great Britain had trad-ing relations. The transfer of " thatthree millions must be in goods, and thegoods would be subject to Customsdu-ties, and assuming an average duty ofonly 5 per cent., the duty would amountto £150,000, but the averagewas morelikely to be nearer 10 per cent, than 5per cent. The under-estimate, however,would help to swell the surplus. Ac-cording to the Year Book for the finan-cial year ended 31st March, 1922, Cus-toms contributed 33.93 per cent, of thetotal taxation for that year. In the fol-lowing year, the percentage increased to42.54,and last year there was a furtherincrease to 47.90. Thus, in two yearsthere had been an increase of 14 percent., and that was how taxation hadbeen reduced."SOCIALISM IN AN INSIDIOUS

WAY."Having charged the Government

with over-borrowing, again going intofigures, and saying that it seemed wemust now borrow if only to pay ourway, which was not a healthy stateof affairs, Mr. M'Grath asserted thatthe Reform Government had intro-duced Socialism in an insidious wayby establishing the various producecontrol boards, which wore nothingmore than tho socialisation of thodistribution of commodities , over

"which they had control. The DairyControl Board had decided npou ex- jercising its full powers as from IstAugust, 192G,and the dangers of that.politically and from an economicpoint of view were scarcely recog-nised by the people. The politicaldangers were in his opinion extreme-ly grave, for the precedent existedfor extending tho principle of controlto every form of business activity.Furthermore, the system of Govern-ment representation on the boards—and thoso representatives were paidsalaries—would give an extreme La-bour Government the right to appointits own nominees on these boards. Itcould appoint to tho "Meat ; Board aropreseutativo of the Slaughtermen'sUnion, and a representative of thoMeat Preservers' Union. On theDairy Board it could insist upon tworepresentatives of tho Dairy Work-ers' Union being appointed. Thedanger of that from tho economicpoint of view was that establishedchannels of distribution of our butterand cheese in particular would bedisturbed and the great English firmswho had unquestionably done a greatdeal to help Now Zealand in buildingup her profitable dairy industry wouldbe forced to extend their activitiesto other coutnrios in order to obtaintheir supplies. Whatever might boM.-iid to tho contrary, tho object ofHit1, control boards was to compelUio consumers to pay oxlremu pric-.-s.Holding up supplies and therebycreating a fictitious shortage :iiulforcing-up the prices was not Ihe bestway of cultivating trade. (Applause.)

The candidate criticised the Gov-eminent for its attitude in connec-tion with the price of bread, spolecon the liousing question on the linosof previous speeches, and then dealtwitli education. Sofar as the presentsystem of education was free, andcompulsory lie was in .favour of il,but he said he claimed ;j. parent'sright in legard lo his children, andwould not allow tho State or anyother body or persou to decide when,

where, or how they woro to bo edu-cated.

On the motion of Mr. H. Williams,seconded by Mr. A. J. Bloxharn, Mr.M'Grath was accorded a unanimousvote of thanks and confidence.—Ex-tended report published by; arrange-ment.

WELLINGTON SOUTHMR. M'KEEN AT NEWTOWN

Mr. I\. M'Kecn, Labour candidate forWellington South, addressed a. largogathering at Owen street, Newtown,last night.

Ho severely criticised the Govern-ment administration, particularly in re-gard to the wagereductions in the CivilService,and snid that tho Governmentnow proposed to inflict a further reduc-tion in wages and salaries. "You candepend upon it," said Mr. M'Koen,"that the Nationalist members will sup-port them.''

Continuing, ht criticised his opponentfor the "malicious and slanderous state-ments" he had made to the effect "thaOthe Labour 'Party's policy would, ifadopted, prevent-, a man acquiring hisown home." In appealing to his audi-ence Mr. M'Keen remarked that "thisstuff" was not politics, but the un-scrupulous methods of those who, havingno case of their own to present to theelectors,resorted to abuse and misreprersentation of their policy.

The Labour Party realised the seri-ousness of the housing shortage in theDominion and what a grave menace itwas to public health. Its policy wasto organise all the resources of materialand labour essential for the building ofhouses,and by the ajjplication of mass-production up-to-date homes would beerected in sufficient number to provideevery family, in the Dominion with onewho required it, and at a cost whichwould not be a burden upon the occu-pier. Opponents snid this meant con-,fiscation. He left the electors to judge.Continuing, the candidate said the rentrestriction legislation had been ablessing to many families in tho cities,by preventing tho ejection of manypeople from their homes. The partywould continue to support this protec-tive legislation until homes were pro-vided for every family in the Dominion.

Other matters dealt with were thourgent need for free dental and medicaltreatment to all children during theirwhole scholastic life; tho increasing ofold-age and widows' pensions to a sumguaranteeing a reasonable standard oflife.

At the conclusion a vote of thanksand confidence was carried unanimous-ly-

MR. SIEVWRIGHT AT BERHAM-PORE

Mr. A. B. Sicvwrighfc (Nationalist)addressed a meeting at Palm GroveHall, Berhampore, last night. Mr. W.Smith occupied the cliair. Mr. Siev-wright stated that tho essentials tothe attainment of tho progress of theState and the advantage of our peoplewere that all citizens should bo wellfed, well housed, well clothed, alidwell educated. Ho urged the neces-sity of maintaining our national sys-tem of education for tho proper train-ing of tho young people, and as abul-wark against social dangers. He ad-,vocated improvementsin the nature oftechnical training and experimentalfarms. With regard to the earningsof our people, Mr. Sievwright showedthat wage, could be raised only by in-creased production, strict economy inpublic expenditure, remission of taxa-tion on the necessaries of life, and byencouragement of secondary indus-tries. Mr. Sievwright urged the main-tenance and improvement of tho Arbi-tration Court/ universal superannua-tion on a sound basis, a defence sys-tem to maintain :..-tional safety, anda constructive policy to solvo thehousing difficulty.

Mr. Sievwright answered a largenumber of questions, and received a,voto of thanks and confidence.

WELLINGTON EAST

MR. A. L. MONTEiTH AT KENTTERRACE

An audience of some 100 parsonswas addressed at the New CenturyHall, Kent terrace. Mr. D. Griffinpresided.

Mr. Monteith quoted what Conser-vative papers had said adversely ofBallance and Seddon as an exampleof the ridicule and contumely direct-ed at all progressive forces. Muchof what was launched against theLabour Party to-day was in the samestrain. He characterised appoint-ments to the Upper House as an in-stance of political- patronage, andsuggested that the country wouldsave moneyby abolishing it. He em-phasised the unfairness of tho Gov-ernment 's ■ proposals for. alteringmethods of franchise, in proposingdifferent systems in city and country,to counteract the weakness of itsposition in the cities. Proportionalrepresentation had proved a fair me-thod in Christchureh municipal elec-tions, but, as it the-Dforo gave La-bour tho preponderating voice, it wasrecalled. He taxed tho Governmentwith remitting considerable amountsto wealthy taxpayers, instead of pass-ing humanitarian lop '-''on to re-duce tho —t of living. Fusion wasrefused by tho Rcf-nu Party simplyin order that £3,"'V000 reduced intaxation to the big inon might con-tinue to be so. The wages in NewZealand were tho lowest in Austral,asia, and the three and three-quartermillions mightwell be devoted to in-creasing them, reinstating the CivilService and other cuts, or in educa-tion. Mr. Monteith crit:"ised thepolicy of large land holdings, which,if continued with the immigrationprogramme, would mean only conges-tion and poverty in tho cities. Heaccused the Reform Government ofbroken promises, notably tho Work-ers' Compensation Bill. If they hop-ed for humanitarian legislation fromthe present Government they wouldbe disappointed.

A vote of thanks ."-"n<l confidencewas passed at tho close of the meet-ing.

MR. T. FORSYTH'S CAMPAIGN

Mr. T. Forsylh, Reform candidatefor Wellington East, delivered an ad-dress to :i big meeting at the Orien-tal Bay Kiosk last evening. Mr. \V.Applctou presided. Particular rei'cr-eiu-.c. was made by the candidate tothe "usel'old" policy of tho LabourPart-, and espeuiiilly to it.: applica-tion to city properties. Ko quotedfrom statements made, by the Labourleaders, which stated Unit if ;i, manp. ill a certain price J'or his homo andsection, Ik; could have its ownershiptaken ;nvny and liou-intcrest-lieiiriiigbondtj given to him, which ovenluuUywould be rcdeeuicd by_ au annual pay-

Mont of 5 per cent. During thatperiod, however, contended Mr. I'or-t>yth, tho owner would bo charged 5pur cent, per annum for the use ofhis own home. Further, tho propertywould bo taken at Government valu-ation, which was at least 25 per cent,below tlio real value. Tlio wholelaud policy of the Labour Partymeant confiscation ol! tho property ofthose who owned it. Mr. Forsythalsu dealt with tho basic wage andtho question of taxation, and was ac-corded a. hearty vote of thanks andconfidenceat the conclusion of his ad-dress.

HUTT

MR. T. M. WILFORD'SCANDIDATURE

MR. A. E. RANSOM AT LOWERHUTT.

In support of Mr. Wilford's candi-dature for Hutt electorate, Mr. A. E.Hansom,Nationalist member for Pahia-tua, addressed the electors at LowerHutt last evening. There was a largeattendance. The Mayor, Mr. W. T.Strand, occupied the chuir. ,

Mr. Ransom said he was pleased to bepresent in the district in which hehad been born, but regretted the cir-cumstance that his old friend Mr. Wil-i'ord was not able to conduct the cam-paign in person. Mr. Wilford hadspent the best years of his life in theservice of the district, and his presentcondition of health was the consequenceof his close attention to duty. Theheavy / work of the last session, thegreat disappointment at the breakdownof the fusionnegotiations, had shatteredhis health for the time being. Therewas no question but that Mr. Wilfordwas organically s,ound, and his medicaladviser had certified to that fact. Hestated this fact in order to set at restrumours to the contrary ■which werebeing circulated. Personally, said thospeaker, he was not a strong partyman, and Reform was now so moderatein its policy that there was nothing tohinder the two parties coming to-gether. (Applause.)

The Nationalists had only adornedthe name after mature considerationand in the interests of the country as awhole. The need to-day was for astrong Governmentmade op from thebeat brains of the members returned toParliament. The country had now toface a very heavy burden of debt, andmen should be returned who would beprepared if need bo to sink party in theinterests of the good government of thepeople as a whole. A Governmentwithout strong support behind it hadto act from motives of expediency whichwould not. get any country very far.New Zealand had once had a strongGovernment,and as a consequence wasable to get things done and had led thoworld in progressive legislation, andthere was no question that this couldbe done again.

One of the causes of the railways notpaying was that some branch lines,which would not pay axle-grease, werekept running because the Governmentneeded tho support of the member forthe district. The cost of administra-tion had doubled, and it was necessaryto look into the question of how to effecteconomies. Though Mr. Coates haddone good work in both tho Railway.and P. and T*. Departments, there wasstill room for improvement, as thoexpenditure was increasing more- rapid-ly than the receipts.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION,More should be done in the way of

agricultural education,and-bright boys,instead of being sent into the profes-sions, should be trained to'take up agri-cultural pursuits. Too much was be-ing spent on buildings at the presenttime which was not justified when theneeds of the backblocks of thu countrywere considered.- - The position of the High _ Commis-sioner's Officeneeded looking into. Thecost of running this Department was in-creasing by leaps and bounds,and forthat expenditure the country should begetting better service.

The incidence of taxation should bealtered to place the burden more uponthe shoulders of the people most ableto bear it. The policy of the National-ist Party was to borrow locally. At thepresent time some of the lending insti-tutions were not playing the game, andin order to" dodge paying taxes on theirincomes were making the interest pay-able in Sydney. This should bestopped. It ought to be' made possiblefor the large lending institutions of thecountry to lend to the farmer, and tothis end a preferential scale of taxingthe income of those lending our ruralcredits should be established.

Tho right to place money on fixeddeposit in the Post Office was advocat-ed. The reduction of the cost of thenecessaries of life by removing the taxon goods not manufactured in the Dom-inion should be the objective of theGovernment.

Greater encouragement should. begiven to demonstration-farms,and if thecost of fertilisers was increased theState should establish fertiliser fac-tories.

Secondary industries should be foster-ed, and this would not be done until itwas realised that labour had an equalright to capital.

The compulsory clauses of the Landsfor Settlement Act should be enforced,and large estates, after careful consid-eration, should be acquired. Thepumice lands should be settled.

Mr. H. E. Leighton, on behalf of thelocal Reform League, urged all Reformsupporters to support Mr. Wilford.

A vote of thanks to the speaker andof continued confidence in Mr. Wilfordwas, on the motion of Mr. A. M'Cas-kill, declared by the chairman, in thomidst of applause, unanimously car-ried.

OTAKIMR. HARKNESS AT PAEKAK-

ARIKI

Mr. C. I. Harkness addressed between50 and 60 electors at Paekakariki onWednesday evening, and received avery good hearing. Mr. J. 11. Jamie-son presided over a very interestedaudience.

The chairman in his opening remarkscompared the great industrial pros-perity of America with the unsatisfac-tory conditions obtaining in England,Australia, and New Zealand. "In theUnited States of America," said Mr.Harkness, "they have no PnrliaineiitaryLabour Parly, nor have they in powerv ConservativeGovernment,but, on theother hand, they have a Democratic,or, in other words, a National, Govern-ment in power. There the workers un-der a, muderalo progressive Govern-ment," continued the candidate, " arcexperiencing the best conditions andreceiving the highest wages in theworld." The moral is, of course, thatwe in New Zealand should go and dolikewise, and put in power a, moderateprogressive National Party on 4th No-vember.

Dealing with tin: wages question, (lie.candidate said: "In my opinion higherwages lv honest workers gave greater

efficiency. This has been proven overand over again by Henry Ford hiAmerica. The wagescut made by theGovernment on the evo of tho lastGeneralElection was not a courageousact, but, on the other hand, it was acowardly action," said Mr. Harkuess,"tor tho obvious reason that tho Go-vernment was not courageousenoughto produce a Budget showing a- deficit.The next Budget they produced ac-tually showed ;i surplus coninoidingwith the amount they unjustly tookfrom tho Civil servants throughout thisDominion." (A voice: "Too true.")At the same time they gave in remis-sion of taxation to their wealthy sup-porters no less than £16,000,000. TheNational Party, declared tho speaker,"is determined to adjust such barefacedinjustices as these. Suchactions by theGovernment are creating class hatredand class jealousy, the very thing wedo not \vnnt in a country like this."(Applause.) "At the conclusion of the address aunanimous vote of thanks to the candi-date was carried amidst applause.

MR. FIELD AT PORIRUA

Speaking at Porirua on Wednesdayevening, Mr. Field said it had beenreported to him that Mr. Semple at allhis meetings was making a most orig-inal and extraordinary bid for politicalsupport in connection with the Orongo-rongo tunnel. Mr. Field said he wouldnot have mentioned the matter if hisopponent were not using the mattervery strongly for the purpose of secur-ing votes. He was ' posing as the heroof the tunnel, and the inventor of suc-cessful co-operative labour. Mr. Fieldsaid he had heard something of thistunnel before, but in view of his op-ponent's action he had been makingsome inquiries concerning it from theresult of which he was satisfied thatan investigation into the circumstancesunder which this contract"-was let with-out competition to Mr. Semple, and inconnection with the tunnel generally,would be of much interest to the rate-payersof the city of Wellington whopaid the piper. Mr. Field said he didnot blame Mr. Semple for obtainingthe best price he could for the work.It was understood that Mr. Semple hadasked £7 10s per foot, and eventually

accepted £6 14s 6d. He was wise ingetting together a band of experiencedmen to do the work, which was superin-tended by one of the City Council'sengineers. The co-operative laboursystem, said Mr. Field, had been in op-eration in this country for a number of

years, and at the very time the Or-ongorongo tunnel was in progress sim-ilar work was being carried out suc-cessfully by co-operative labour in otherparts of the Dominion. The total pricepaid for labour only, Mr. Field said,was £70,850. The dimensions of thetunnel were 7ft by 7ft, and the workoccupied just over three years. Theresult must have been most satisfac-tory to Mr. Semple and his party, buthe (Mi 1. Field) was at a loss to under-stand how it constituted a claim forvotes in the Otaki electorate. He saidho was getting a report of the cost ofthe Mangaroa tunnel, which he under-stood was constructed for far less moneyand the contractor in that case suppliedthe whole of his explosives drillingmachinery, tools, etc., whereas these,he was informed, were supplied to Mr.Semple by the City Council.

COATES OR CHAOS?

REFORM RALLY AT THE UPPERHUTT

A Reform rally was held in the In-dependent'Hall, Upper Hutt, last even-ing, the seating accommodation bein"taxed to the utmost, and a large num-ber of electors finding standing roomonly. Captain J. J. Clark presided.

The Hon. W. Earnshaw, speaking asa worker and one who throughout hislifetime had earned his own livelihoodby working at his trade, dealt atlength with the humanitarian legisla-tion passed by the Reform Government,and pointed out that during the lastsax yearsthe Government had done morethan any previous Government had everattempted to do in providing homes forthe people, having expended over £20,----722,000in providing 34,560homes forthe people. He also referred to thoLabour Party's land policy, which hepointed put was against the freeholdand against the right of every man lohold possession of his own home. Hospoke in eulogistic terms of the Hon.Mr. Coates, in whom he declared thopeople of New Zealand put every trust.Mr. V. Jacobsen spoke on the "use-hold" policy, pointing out that, underits operation, the Labour Party wouldsimply assess a man's property at theGovernment valuation, and take it overat that price, and, if they elected topay for it in Government bonds, whichMr. Fraser had said might be eitherinterest bearing or non-interest bear-ing, the man would simply receive, onthe 5 per cent, basis of redemption pro-posed, the amount ho would be assessedat by way of rent, if he continued inoccupation of the property. Thus in 20years he would be practically dispos-sessed of his home without having re-ceived anything by way of compensa-tion.

Mr. E. A. James dealt in vigorousfashion with the two leaflets issued bythe Labour Party, which he said hadbeen broadcasted throughout the elec-torate. He denounced in vigorous termswhat he described as the malicious andaudacious lie disseminated by the Lab-our Party concerning tho alleged pro-posal to reduce wages by 7s 6d perweek.

Mr. A. W. Blair dealt at lengthwiththe shipping trouble, pointing out thatthe dispute was not one which hadarisen or could be settled here; andthat the men had been grievously mis-led in breaking their agreements withthe shipowners^ who hud to competewith foreign shipping.

Mr. W. 11. Field spoke at length insupport of his candidature and of theReform Government. The candidatewas subsequently bombarded with ques-fions, and at the close of the meetingMr. J. Whiteman moved a hearty voteof thanks to Mr. Field for his lucid andinteresting address, expressing the con-fidenceof the meeting in both the candi-date and Mr. Coates as the leader of theGovernment, and declaring that thegreat issue to be decided on Wednes-day next was "Coatesor Chaos?"

The proceedings closed with votes ofthanks to the chairman and to thospeakers.

GOOD WISHES

JBLUEMETAL, LTD.—A SOUND IN-yESTMENT.

No man should allow his, moneyto lieidle. A profitable investment are sharesin Bluemetal, Ltd.,' which is safe andpromises an early return to the in-vestor.

Bluemetal, Ltd., will stand anyamount of investigation. The proposi-tion' is sound i-ight through. Four well-known experts—J. A. J. M'Laren, amining and cement engineer, of Auck-land; G. J. Barnes,C.E., M.1.M.E.; T.Richardson, M.1.Q.M., Eng., M.A.R.---8.A., U.S.A.; and W. T. Woodroffe,brick and quarry manager, of Christ-church—have all inspected the' quarrysite, which is 600 yards off the Huttroad between Ngahauranga and. Petone.Their reports are unanimous that Blue-metal, Ltd., will prove a very soundand profitable project.

Prospective investors are invited to in-spect the quarry site themselves. Eventhe inexperienced will be able to notethe quality of the metal and see howeasily it can be loaded on 'rucks anddispatched by gravitation to a crushingplant. The natural formation of thevalley—the inexhaustible supply ofstone—the accessibility—tho nearness tocity, rail, and wharves—these andother factors give the impression thatNature has specially designed this vastquarry to supply Wellington with itsmost urgent need—good roads.

LIQUORQUESTION

REFORM v. PROHIBITION

PUBLIC MEETING AT TOWN HALL

CORPORATE CONTROL URGED

There was a large attendance at tho-Town Hall last evening, when addresseswere delivered on the liquor questionby the Rev. G. Gordon Bell, M.A.(vicar of the Holy Sepulchre Church,Auckland), and Messrs. \V. Perry(vice-president New Zealand ModerateLeague), and R. A. Armstrong (Do-minion secretary New Zealand Licens-ing Reform Association). The meeting■was held under the auspices of the NewZealand Licensing Reform Association.Mr. M. Luckio presided.

The chairman, in opening tho meet-ing, said: "No doubt most of you haveduring the last three or four weeksspent a good many evenings listeningto addresses by gentlemen who are can-vassing you for votes to secure theirelection to Parliament next week. Butthere ia one very important subjectwhich you will have to decide by yourvotes next week which has hitherto notreceived at this election any very largeamount ;of attention on the public plat-form, and it will be my privilege thisevening to introduce to you some speak-ers who will submit to you their viewsand ideas on that most important ques-tion which you will have to vote ono;. Wednesday next. It is a truismthat no country, or people 1 can be freeand bound at one and the same time.It is also true that nothing goes sostrongly towards the formation of char-acter, the most valuable asset in. anyof our people,, as education and abilityto resist temptation, and instruction inmoderation and self-restraint. Andthere is nothing that will assist char-acter in entirely removing temptationfrom our midst.

"The history of New Zealand and ofthe pioneers—whose sons and grand-sons we ' are proud to be—-shows mostclearly that this Dominion has beenpeopled by strong people—able andready to resist temptation and immo-deration in all respects; and any lawwhich proposes to prevent the exerciseof a man's free will or the use of anyarticle merely because it is abused bya very small minority of the total popu-lation cannot be a good thing for theDominion,. op a good thing for theformation of the character of its people.You cannot make strong citizens bykeeping them covered by cotton-wool.(Applause.)

*» "Now, ladies and gentlemen, you didnot come to hear me, but to hear threespeakers, who I trust /will be able toplace before',you their views .on thisvery important question—as to ■whe-ther you are going to .be the officerso your own destinies or, not."- Thechairman then introduced the* threespeakers and bespoko for them a fairhearing.CAUSE OF TRUE TEMPERANCEMr. W. Perry said :—"This meeting is

being held under the auspices ofN.Z.L.E. Association,iThat .-associationwas formed in 1925, its originators beingfour members of the Anglican DiocesanSynod, ol Auckland, one of whom was11iv Rev. Gordon Bell, who will shortlyaddress yon. These gentlemen, believ-ing that Prohibition is not the remedy,for such intemperance as exists in NewZealand—and no one can say that NewZealand is an intemperate country—andbelieving that the cause of true tem-perance can best be served by reformsin the present licensing system, formu-lated tho proposals known as CorporateControl. These proposals will be ex-plained to you by tho other speakers.Two conferenceswere held in Welling-ton early in 1923,and were attended by'representatives of the Licensed Trade inall branches, tho Anglican clevgy, thoAssociated Clubs and Moderate League.As a result, the L.R.A. was formed, andnow lias brunches all over ,Ve\v Zealand.On almost every committee are to befound representatives of the Anglicanclergy.

"As its name implies, the associationis out for reform of the present licens-ing laws, and is determined to get it.During the last three years—in 1923,24and 25—it sent deputations to the PrimeMinister, and urged the substitutionof the issue of Corporate Control for thepresent third issue

(of State Purchase

and Control, aud also urged that in thomeantime important alterations shouldbo miidfi in tho existing legislation.During tho last three, years the Licens-ing .ReformAssociation,true, to its name,has done its utmost, has indeed exhaust-ed every effort to bring about reformsin the existing legislation. During thesethree years, what has (.lie ProhibitionParty done in this respect? Nothingwhatever. It has not lilted a little fin-ger in the direction of reforming thepresent licensing system. At its con-ference in Wellington in May. 1926, it.■passed a resolution that it did not ask.for legislation in the 1925 session ofParliament. They call themselves theFriends of temperance. But, as the al-leged friends of temperance, they urnnot doing their job in not advocating thenecessaryreforms in the licensing law.

WRONG IN PRINCIPLE"We oppose Prohibition, because we

arc convinced Hint it is utterly wrongin principle. ("No, no .'") Rememberthat if f'ruhibitiuu be carried it bo-cunics the law ol the land, aud it be-comes the duty of the State .to endeav-our to enforce i so far as it can.(''Ueai1, hear :") Remember,also, thatit. is a. penal statute, and penalty forbreach is line and imprisonment.(■Hear, henr!" and "Quite right!")That is, people arc liable to bo sent toprison for doing an act. n.inioiy, drink-ing ;i glass of beer, which, in itself, v-tin innocent act. -("Ch !" and laugh-ter.) 11. is not a tiiininnl act, a wrong-ful act, a sinful art. or an improperact. it is an innocent act, aud a lawwhich attempt? to make an innocent iiu!a criminal act must fa!!. ("No.")

FUNCTION OF THE STATE"In this connection it. is appropriate

to consider what i.s the function of theStata in framing ami passing its laws.The fundamentalprinciple must bo thailaws must lie wise laws—i.e.. laws ofwisdom, of justice, and of fairness, andwhich are ;ippaiv:'d to and appreciatedby not merely a niinibci of ihr people—nor even a lyrgi- number -,l Iho pcnpln,but the va-t. nia.jnnly ol Hi.- p.:.,v.1i.---r>iinini;:lit iilrnorftsay the whole of tin: pen

pie. If it bo otherwise, you -won't getthat ready and cheerful obedience of thelaw, which is essential if it is to bsenforced. In considering this iunda-1

mental principle wo must understandwhat are the foundations of law. Themain foundations of law ore religion andcustom. Rules of conduct grew up al-most automatically, and eventually be-camo laws. And they became laws forthis reason—that these rules ot conductwere universally or almost universallyobserved and approved. And, for thatreason, they had at their back the powerof the organised Stato for their main-tenance and enforcement. The otherolement is force—the force at the dis-posal of the State to compel obedience.Law is not right alone or might alone,but the perfect union of the two. It isjustice speaking to men by the voice ofthe State. It is for the expression andrealisation of justice that., the law iscreated,and a theory which regards thelaw as a command of the State, andnothing moro, and which entirely ig-nores the aspect of law as a public de-claration of the principles oE justice, isnot a proper use of the term law at all.If there are any of my legal friendshere,who are Prohibitionists,I wouldre-fer them to the book on jurisprudenceby the lato Sir John Salmond,7th edi-tion, pp. 51, 52, and 53.

THEORY OF THE PROHIBLTIONISTS

"But this theory that the law isthe command of the State and noth-ing moro and that it does not mat-ter whether it is a public declara-tion of the principles of justice ornot is tho theory of law which theProhibitionists want us to accept.They say: Lot a majority of one or-dain that the doing of an innocent actis a crime and ipso facto it becomesa crime. Contend -that no legislationcan convert an innocent act into acrime because such legislation wouldnot be ethical, would not be right,would not be just. And unless youhave right and justice on the side ofyour law,' that law must inevitablyfail. The Prohibitionists argue, andproperly, that all sorts of acts areprohibited by law. So they are. Butthey are .prohibited for the very goodicason that they are wrongful acts.Murder and theft are prohibited be-cause they are wrongful acts. And, totake an extreme case, a motorist maynot drivo at an excessive speed be-cause such an act is dangerous notonly to other users of motor-cars butto non-users. A motorist may notdrive at night without lights for thesame reason, and a motorist mustdrive on the proper side of the roadfor the same reason. Theso laws areenforceable because public opinion isbehind them, and because they arcrecognised as just, not only by peoplewho do*not use motors, but by thosewho do use them, and by the verydelinquents themselves. "These thingsare matters of regulation—not prohibition. It would be absurd to ar-gue that because a motorist abuseshis rights as tho owner or driver ofa car that motors should therefore beabolished. (Applause.) And that, toall intents and purposes, brought toits logical conclusion, is the argumentof Prohibitionists on the liquor ques-tion.

RIGHT OF THE INDIVIDUAL"Do not forgot that there is such

a thing, even in the highly-organisedstate known as modern civilisation,as the right of the individual. Therights o£ the individual havo alwaysbeen recognised, and, indeed, jealous-ly protected by the-law. The law re-cognises the right of the individualto uso. his own TvTnerty to the full-est extent,.but subject to the restric-tion that he must not n^p it in sucha way as to invade the rights ofothers. In other words, ho must notuse his own property in a crhiilnalmanner, a negligent manner, or animproper manner, so as to harm oth-ers.

"To put it in a nutshell, ho is en-titled to use his privileges, but notto abuse them. And this is exactlywhere the Prohibitionists go wrong—■

they completely fail t^ 'Tistin^uish be-tween the use and tlio abuse ofliquor. A man has. the undeniableright to use liquor in moderation. Hohas possessed this right from, thedawn of Christianity itself. He hastho undeniable right tv entertain hisfriend.-, with intoxicating liquor. Thisis an act of hospitality, and no onecan convince mo that an act of hos-pitality is a crimin.'ii r.f\, a wrong-ful act, or an improper act. Such ause of his property is proper—it docsnot harm his neighbour, and it docsnot harm himself. Yet tho Prohibi-tionists would endeavour to make ita, crime. But it. cannot bo made acrime, for the simple reason that itis not one.

| "Such a law will fail. Such a lawhas failed already in Now Zealand. Irefer .to tho anti-shouting regulations.These were observed at first, but grad-ually many subterfuges were adopted in order to evade: them, and aftera. little, l.imo (.hey were not obeyed atall. (Laughter.) Tho force of ex-jample is a. great Ihing 'whether fcrgood or evil. Those observing theixgulntio!,B found others not obscrv-

I ing them. They gradually did like-nisf. Tho regulations became a farce,and were eventually repealed. Thereason why this law was not obeyedis obvious. It was not obeyed, be-cause of the fund:" -"fal fact thatpublic opinioii

(was not beh'-- ' it. 11.

was not obeyed because tho peoplehira'.l licit tolciTilo' Iho theory thatan act of hospitality i.s a criminalact, ivh'.'t'K'r f'i iiament said so ernot. (Applause.) The attempted en-forcement of an unjust '■ '"'cincscoercion,;md a free people will neverbe coerced. For the reason that theProhibition 1,-nv is fundamentally un-sound in Iliaf. it ignores tho right (iftin,: individual; regards ||u< law as the'■opmm.-i'hl of the Starr-, ;nnl nothinginon-; and i-JiorcH Ihr. a-ipecl, ol' theI;.w a3 a public dcclaraliun of the

principles of justice. For this reasonthe Prohibition law has failed, andhas been repealed in many of themoro important provinces of Canadawhere it has been tried; and this istho reason why it has fnilcd, and willfail, in tho United States of America.(Laughter and applause.)

"As far as Prohibition in Americais concerned, from nil the mass ofinformation that wo have concerningAmerica under Prohibition, one cold,hard, indisputable fact emerges,andthat is that Prohibition docs not pro-hibit. (Applause and dissent.) Thelaw that was passed pn-;-">vi)y forthe purpose of eliminating drunk-enness—("Rot!")—has utterly failedin its purpose; and it has failed be-cause that law is fundamentally un-sound. Someone said 'Rot!' "That,ladies and gentleman, is an interjec-tion entirely on the mental level oftho iuterjector.

"I HOLD NO BRIEF""I hold no brief for tho licensed

trade," declared Mr. Perry, in replyto an interjection ("Question!" andlaughter.) "I hear a long, raucouslaugh, which I take to bo thatof a Pro-hibitionist; and an interjection that Ihave shares in a brewery, but I havenone. Iwant to knock my question-er through the ropes—(laughter)—bytelling him that a few months ago Iwas offered by a sharebrokcr in thiscity shares an a certain brewery. Irefused to buy thoso shaves,and losta considerable profit thereby; and 1refused because I am on the exeeutivo«f tho New Zealand Moderate League,and I considered it to be inconsistentwith my position on that executiveto buy those shares. (Applause.)Because I am 'genuinely fearful ofthe probableresults of Prohibition ifcarried in this country, and because Ilovo my country, I appeal to youwhen you are exercising your votesen 4th November to cast them—(avoice: "For Prohibition," and laugh-tor)—to voto for the middlo issue ofStato Purchase and Control and saveNew Zealand from tho hazardous ex-periment of Prohibition. So thatthe Government will bring about thoreforin=of tho licensing laws, and sothat our temperate country will be-come more temperate still." (Laugh-terand loud applause.)

Gordon Bell, who was re-ceived with applause, said that hestood before them to claim their at-tention for the proposals of the L.R.A.for the reform of the licensing lawsof this Dominion, because he was oneof those clergy who refused to believethat Christian temperance efforts hadbeen useless in the past, would be use-less in the future, and did not con-tain the absolute remedy—so far asa remedy could be applied by moralsuasion and legislation—for tho liq-our evils which they all deplored. (Ap-plause.) His attitude towards hisfriends of the Prohibition movementwas an' attitude' of pity—(laughter)—of pity that they had been stam-peded into a position whicli took itfor granted that the efforts whichhad been mado by Christian forcesduring tho last century or so in thedirection of temperance by moralsuasion and legislation had provedfailures; and because they had givenup that temperance platform forwhich they originally stood, a plat-form which, in his opinion, did notdeserve the name. of temperance(Applause, and a voipo: "Intoler-.ancel"). But, because he and hisfriends in tho movement had been

taken to task, as ho knew they wouldbo, when .they—few in number asthey were—had the temerity tostand up to tho very largo body of.peoplo in the Dominion, religiously-minded people many of them, who ad-vocated Prohibition, and try to re-vive in this country the almost for-gotten principle of temperance legisla-tion, he wished to give the reasons fortheir attitude. They had been sub-jected on many sides to misrepresen-tation and abuse; and that made itnecessaryfor him, before putting be-fore his audience tho actual proposalsfor which his association stood, toput before them some words of ex-planationand defence.

NOT "LIQUOR'S LATEST BLUFF"Ho would first make Lis defence onthat which met their eyes on cominginto the hall that night, tho advertise-ment of the meeting to be addressed\>y Mr. Isitt next week. (Loud ap-

plause.) At tho head of that ad-vertisement were tho words, "Liq-uor's Latest Bluff." (Laughter andapplause.) Thai had boon tho atti-tudo of tho Prohibition Party towardstheir efforts ever since they startedto make them. ("Hear, hear," andapplause.) But ho put it to themthat included in. the L.B.A. move-ment (.here wero clergymen of suchstanding as Bishop Bit-hards, of Dun-edin, Archdeacon Williams, of AVai-apu, Archdeacon Taylor, of Christ-churcli, Archdeacon G'owie, of Hamil-ton, and tho late Warden of St.John's (tho Rev. P. T. Williams);Canon James, and many others; andwas it a reasonable thing, was it athing likely to carry weight with peo-ple of sober judgment, to ask themto believe that clergymen of suchstanding

itr. Boll: "Thank you!" (Ap-pUui.so and laughter.) Was it rea-sonable,lie continued, tc expect sober-minded people to boliovo that thesemen would deliberately or carelesslyallow themselves to bo used by theLiquor Party to put forward a dis-honest progrnmmo of reform'? (Ap-plause and dissent.) AVa.s he to bo-liovo that a Wellington audience waswilling to accept, this position.("Yes!" "No, no!" and applause.)T-hcy had launched (his movement bo-cause they believed that Prohibitionwas both indefensible and impos-sible, and because they believed thatalong tho lines of Christian temper-ance effort, rind along those linesonly, was any solution of the liquorproblem to bo found. (Applause anddissent.) lie would go further. Hewas a . minister of tho Gospel.("Sl.ami; on you!") He was a priestof the English Church; and he put itto them that he could not dare tostand there to advocate the platformlie did advocate—(a. voice: "Youought lo be ashamed of yourself! ")—if he. did ii.it believe that Iho actionlie w.'js faliiiir,r nas coinpaliMt' withI lie will of 111in In \"Vlh,s,; service liehad pledged his life, (".Nonsense!"

and loud applause) "I have pray-ed God," said Mr. Bell, "and I dopray God that, if the movement inwhich I am ono of the leaders isnot a movement according to .His will,Ho will grant it no success whatso-ever. I would rather go down ab-solutely than do anything which Ibelieved to be contrary to the will■of my Lord and Saviour, JesusChrist."

"HAD BEEN ACCUSED"They had been accused, ho added,of coming into this struggle at tho last

minute. Well, ho arrived in NewZealand late in tho year 1920; and howas amazed to discover the temper ofmind on this question a temper farremoved from the temper of mindwhich existed in England on the samequestion. Ho was amazed to findhow far Prohibition had succeededin winningthe sympathy of New Zea-land. At the same time, he felt thatit would bo far more seemly for himas a newcomer not to take any verygreat action in this matter; but atthe samo time tho matter was strong-ly debated in the New Zealand Angli-can General Synod of May, 1922, anda straight-out Prohibition resolutionwas defeated by tho votes of boththe clergy and tho laity. (Applause.)That Synod passed a compromise re-solution in which it was suggestedthat tho people should be urged tovote for Prohibition if no other dras-tic remedy for the liquor evil wasforthcoming. In view of that elial-ien go thrown out by the General Sy-nod some of the clergy, including him-self, got together and began to con-sider things. Even then they wereI'oath to undertake any action, untilin tho Auckland Diocesan Synod intho:samo year one of the Prohibitionclergy brought in a motion pledgingthat Synod to Prohibition. Eor thefirst time since ho landed in NewZealand he then publicly spoke, andspoke strongly, against Prohibition.("Hear, hear," and applause.)

"PROHIBITION NO REMEDY"From that time to this he had bceu

actively engaged in two things—ivcarrying on tho fight against Prohi-bition, and in seeking to persuade thepeople with whom he had had deal-ings that in Prohibition there wasvnot to be found a remedy at all forliquor evils; and at the same time hohad been trying to advocate a revivalof temporanco legislation. (Ap-plause.) The fact that that meetingwas held so close to the poll was dueto many causes—partly to his ill-health, and partly to his time beingoccupied with Church work, fromwhich he could not get away earlier.Then it was charged against themthat they would accomplish nothingfor the cause of temperance, and thattheir programme was merely a red-herring drawn across the track. To |him, the wholo Prohibition movementin New Zealand had been, throughoutthe thirty years of its life here, noth-ing more than a red-herring across thetrack of the real Christian way oEdealing with this problem, the way ofChristian temperance. People hadeven had the audacity to suggest—itwas put to him straightly at a meet-iug ho addressed at Hamilton recent-ly—that they of tho clergy had solittle sense of what was right andfitting in them as ministers of theGospel, that they were actuated inthis matter either by motives of per-sonal taste or by personal financial in-terests. He put tho question to hisaudience at Hamilton, when ho wasasked by aperson in tho audience howmuch the liquor people were payinghim for this work: "Do you expectmo to answer that question?" liewas glad to say that the Hamiltonaudienco was sporting enough to re-turn a straight-out, decided answer,"No!" (Applause.)

NOT IN PAY OF LIQUOR PARTYBut, seeing that some of those then'

present wore not gifted with thatChristian charity which refused tobelieve evil of people, and seeing thatMs questioner was persistent, hoanswered tho question, as ho wasabout to answer it hero: From theLiquor Party neither he nor anybodyassociated with him in the work hadreceived a penny-piece. " Nay, more,until the time of the formation of theLicensing Reform Association, theypaid the initial expenses of the workthemselves; the only financial helpthey received at that time being a,promise of £50 from some of theirfellow-churchmen at Hamilton, whowere impressed by the action theyhad taken, and were thankful thatthe Church was coming to lightwith anew movement in the right direction.(Applause.) As to financial inter-ests, did they know that when theBishop of Duncdin was addressing a,meeting in Duiicdin recently on thismatter, someone, had tho impertinenceto suggest to him—a L'ishop of theChurch—that ho was influenced byfinancial considerations.

A voice: "It carries a lot ofweight." (Laughter.)If people wero ready to believe

things of that sort of: men of Ihostanding of Bishop Bichards, of whomArchdeacon M'Murray, a. convincedProhibitionist, said in ilio AucklandSynod, the oilier clay, "Bishop Kich-Hrds, than whom there is no moresaintly man in the Church of this pro-vince"—if people wero ready to im-pute- false motives to men of Hintcalibre, he hud no time to answerthem or for argument with them atall. It had also been suggested—and ho could see from the temper ofsome of the people in his audiencethat they would bo ready to endorsethe accusation—that it was a shame-ful tiling for any minister of theGospel to bo found fighting againstProhibition. ("Hoar, hear.") Hecould only,answer them in two ways.

"ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURYAGAINST PROHIBITION"

Ho was going to quote to them somepeople who were not in favour ofProhibition. The Archbishop ofCanterbury, the. chid: bishop of theKjigli3h Church, speaking rccoully attho annual mooting of tho Church ofEngland Temperance Society, voicedhis radical and fundamental objec-tion to Prohibition us a suggestedremedy for liquor evils. Tho Arch-bishop of York said sorao few yearsago that lie "would sooner sec Eng-land free than Englandsober." Thepresent Bishop of Durham, Dr. Hcus-

Icy, had also spoken recantly ngainstProhibition. Let mo tell you—

A voice: "Have a. beer?""Thank you, I never do." ("Oh !"

and applause.)"That gives mo the opportunity of

saying something I had intended tosay later: So far as my personaltastes are concerned—ami my friendsof the Prohibition movement cannotall say Ihix—(hmd applause')— 1 ampractically a Uchilallrr; am.l have.I.ii-tii so all my life. I am liyhlin"Iliis caubc on ;>. 'mailer >A principle,,

and not on a matter of personal taste.("Hear, hear," and applause.) AndI do not need to wait—as somo ofmy Prohibition friends have toldme they intend to wait—for Prohibi-tion before I give up tho use of alco-holic liquor in my personal life."(Laughter and applause.)

BISHOP OF QUEBEC'STESTIMONY

He would give, ho added, one otherquotation from a bishop of the Eng-lish Church, the Anglican Bishop ofQuebec, who, having seen Quebecunder Prohibition, and having seen theprovince go back to a form of Statecontrol, said, amongst other things,in" a recent letter to a clergyman inAustralia, who, without knowing hisviews, had asked him for his unbias-ed opinion with regard to the Quebecsystem, "The law is not perfect, butit is a hundred times better than so-called Prohibition, which cures no evilsand brings to lightevils which did notpreviously exist." ("Well done,"

NO BIBLE SUPPORT FORPROHIBITION

"You know as well as I do that the" teaching of the Christian Church isbased on Holy Writ and tho revelationof God," said the Key. Gordon Bell."We have thrown out the challenge re-peatedly—even to men like Mr. Laid-law, who is well known both as a pro-hibition worker and as an earnestworker in one of the religious denomina-tions—wo have thrown out the clial-lengo to him tbnt it was a remarkablething that amongst prohibitionists-people who are willing and accustomedto quote tho Bible in support of every-thing that they do and say—that therewas practically no quotation of theBible given by prohibitionists in favourof the prohibition cause. (Applause.)That is really not remarkable, becauseit is impossible.

"You will find in the Old Testament,among other things, that there aresuch things are wine offeringsoffered to God. You will findthat nowhere in the Old Testament istho use of strong drink forbidden. Youwill find that the giving of strongdrink is, in one instance, quoted asan act of mercy to a person who isdown and out; and that, mind you,although the Prophets were absolutelyas fierce and as strong in their denun-ciations of drunkenness as I should Beand am. (Applause.)

"I have no timo for drunkenness. Iknow that the Biblo is full of warn-ings to drunkards that there is no pUicofor them in the Kingdom of God.

THE NEW TESTAMENT"If we turn now to tho New Testa-

ment, wo find the samo thing. Whenthe Church went out in the early daysto do its work of converting the worldto Christ it was faced with drunken-ness amongst other things. . . . Thereis one word you will find through StPaul's epistles. Time and again liebrings it in. It is tho Greek wordmeaning self-control, temperance.

"But if I want an explanation as towhat the early Church did and prac-tised, I must go to the Fountain Head ;and I do hope and trust that while Iam speaking to you of the life anddoings of our .Blessed Lord tbat thosepeople who are interrupting will havethe reverence not to do so.

"I turn to tho supreme revelation ofGod as we have it in our Blessed Lordand Saviour Jesus Christ. And I amno modernist. I have no doubt whatso-ever not only of the Divinity but ofthe Deity of our Blessed Lord. To me,Jesus is God. His words aro tha wordsof God. His acts aro tho acts of God.And I put it to you, in all reverence,that this is what we find in His lifewhen Ha came to reveal God to us. Tobegin \vith, He is not, as His predeces-sor was, an ascetic. St. John the Bap-tist came neither eating flesh nordrinking wine. Of Jesus it was pos-sible for His enemies to say blasphem-ously : 'Behold a gluttonous man anda wine-bibber,' proving at least this:that our BJesscd Lord adopted thecustoms in which He found c himself,and made wine His usual and accus-tomed drink. When our Blessed Lordbegan His ministry, His ministry forthe saving of human souls from degrada-tion and sin, He began His ministry ata marriage feast.,in which, as thoughto typify that fulness of Ufa and joythat tfe was to bring to the worldthrough tho Gospel, He makes forhuman consumption more wine :it themarriage feast; and that, mark you,not for the alleviation of human suffer-ing, but simply to add to human pleas-ure and human enjoyment.

"Finally, our Blessed Lord instituted—and in view of the temper of somefew of tho audience I really hesitate 1.0give you this argument, although it iscrucial to my ease, and 1 do appealagain for reverence—OurBlessed Lord,in view of His sacrifice of Himself forus, gave to us a Sacrament in whichan alcoholic liquor must be used. Markyou, I know there are. people who claimthat tho liquor Our Blessed fjord uscrdin tho institution of the blessed sacra-ment was not strong drink. But asagainst that, I put it to you that OurBlessed Lord gave the promise to HisChurch that it should be guided by theHoly Spirit; and acting under thatguidanco and depending upon the, guid-ance of the Holy Spirit—with, the excep-tion of a tew people in modern timeswho take the prohibition view of thematter—the Church has always through-out tho ages interpreted Our Lord'scninrnaud in such n. way that theChurch has always used wine, which iswiuo in the ordinary accepted sense ofthe term.

"Now, I put it to you: If that sort;of teaching and that sort of practiceis what I find when I turn to myBible, and to the example and teach-ingof my Lord, then I say that thoro,at any rate, is a fundamental basisupon which I stand. (Applause.)

"Xo man in this world has thomoral right to make that sin whichGod has not niaclo sin."

WHAT SCIENCE TAUGHTTho speaker tlicn dealt with (!ic

scientific aspect of tho question. Thescicntilic backing, lie- said, whichProhibition had was this: That aleo-liol was termed in science a uareolicirritant poison; and tho argument wasput forward, therefore, that a thingwliich was a narcotic irritant poisonmust inevitablybo a damago to (hohuman frame. II: lliat was so, hocould only say that it waa ouo ofthose cases in which thefindings iv cold blood of sci-ence hail to bo tested againstthat wliich was the crucial tost of allscientilic findings, namely, human ex-perience. Besides, even poisons hadtheir use. .If lie were run down, itwas quite likely that he would beprescribed by his doctor a tonic con-taining strychnine, which, administer-ed iv proper doses,although it was adeadly poison, was not dangornuH tothe human frame, but was a benefit.One of our must prominent modernscientists, Professor Starling, hadworked out scientifically tho amountof alcohol which could he ro'iismncidin beverage form without any drlo-(■ ",hik clTi'd. to flu: linnian'conslilu-

Apart frum that, Lhurc was tke

fact of human experience. Therewere people who throughout theirlives had been moderate drinkers, andwho had lived to a good old ago ashad any other people. His oppositionto Prohibition went ono step furtherthan that, in that he believed that itwas undemocratic. Majorities had nomore right to legislate without anyregard to tho wishes of importantminorities than had tyrants. His op-position to Prohibition was that itwas entirely lacking in any principle,unless it was tho principle of coer-cion. Human history was full ofghastly wrecks caused by tho attemptto use coercion to secure moral ends.Believing what he had said, andspeaking with the utmost sincerity ofconviction, he had no option but mustvote against Prohibition. (Applause.)He must vote against it or bo untrueto his own conscience,and ho had toanswer in the sight of God for theway in which he spent his life. Ex-cept in a few minor respects, Prohi-bition had not given its backing tolicensing reforms. It had reallyblocked reforms. Tho Primo Minis-ter had given a promise that if hewas returned as, Primo Minister howould introduce reform legislation.

CORPORATE CONTROL

THE SCHEME OUTLINED.

After giving the problemgreat con-sideration, he and others felt thatthey had to discover some form ofmodified State control, in which thereshould be other factors than the con-ducting of a business solely by theState. It was proposed that the wholeof the licensing trade—the property,machinery, business,andhotels—wouldbe eompulsorily sold at a Governmentvaluation to a corporation to be form-ed also by the Government, -whichwould be so constituted that it wouldhave a majority of Governmentmem-bers dominating at all times the pol-icy of the corporation. The brew-eries and other people would be com-pelled by law if and when CorporateControl was carried, to sell all licensesto the corporation, and would receivein return for their property, not cashbut shares. . One-fifth of the totalshare issuo,would be handed to theGovernment as unpaid shares, to bepaid for out of! dividends, as andwhen earned. The Governmentwoulddecide upon tho principle of valu-ation to be adopted. The basissuggested was that laid down in thePublic Works Act for the compulsoryacquirement of land. The corporationwould entirely manages tho wholebusiness of manufacture,"importation,and distribution of alcoholic liquorsthroughout the Dominion, and wouldhave' in its hands also all tho hotelproperty. The corporation would notonly have in its hands the whole oftho wholesale and distributing trade,but would also ) ye full regulatingpower over tho retail houses. Itwould be the sole authority oe the is-sue of permits to those who were tosell alcoholic liquors to tho commun-ity, and it would have tho power offraming the conditions governing thogranting and holding of permits. Pro-vision was made for tho right of ap-peal to a Magistrate in cases of al-leged unjust treatment.

This governmentalcontrol body didnot mean direct State control, but thecorporation would be answerable tothe Government for the conduct ofthe business, and answerable throughthe Government to the people for thoconduct of the business. Having sucha body in. complete control of thotrade in New Zealand, it would bopossiblo to have such regulationsmade as would make for the increas-ingly good conduct of licensed housesthroughout the Dominion.

Tho speaker concluded by asking thosepresent to givo him and those associatedwith him credit for at least beinghonest,sincere, and courageousin theiropinions, convictions, and actions.(Loud applause.)

DOMINION SECRETARY'SADDRESS

Mr. R. A. Armstrong, Dominion sec-retary of the N.Z.L.R.A., sai^ that hewould prove to the satisfaction of hishearers that Prohibition in America hadnot fulfilled the promises of its support-ers. During the five years of Prohibi-tion in America a mass of evidence hadaccumulated,showing clearly that fromtho moral and physical sic. Prohibitionhad been a distinct failure. The latestcontribution to this evidence was a re-port just issued by tho Department ofResearch and liducatiou of the FederalCouncil of tlte Churches ot Christ inAmerica. The New Zealand Alliancehad recently published a. cable receivedfrom the secretary of the Federal Coun-cil, stating that organisation to havelong been an "ardent supporter of Pro-hibition." It was to the credit of that

1organisation Unit il was prepared, inspite of its leanings, to publish a reportwhich cast a most unfavourablelight onProhibition in the States liven themost ardent Prohibitionist in New Zea-land would have to admit, in view ofthe published cable from tho' secretary,that the source of the information con-tained in that report was above suspi-eiun. (Hear, hear, and applause.)The first and most important promiseof Prohibition wax that it would ensurethe younger generation growing up. ig-norant of the, taste of alcohol and with-out any desire for it. Not only hadthis promise not been fulfilled, but thevery reverse had happened. Prohibitionhad thrown the young people into con-tact with liquor under the very worstconditions. There'was proof of this onevery hand, and it had been steadily ac- icumulating.

DRUNKENNESS AMONG BOYSAND GIRLS

As far back as 2nd September, 1922,anarticle had appeared in the "Vanguard,"tho official organ of tho N.Z. Alliance,showing that drinking among studentswas a problem in the college life of theU.S.A. This article had said : "It willcontinue to be a problem until the lawrs more- successfully enforced in thocities themselves." Tho position to-day was that young people in Americawere, indulging in alcohol in a. mannernever dreamed of before Prohibition.Tho speaker quoted reports from thenewspapers and letters from prominentcitizens of tho States to prove this con-tention. The "Toledo Blade." of 10thDecember,1924, reported that "forty-two pupils of Scott High School weresubpoenaed to appear before the Fed-eral .Grand Jury" in connection with"'heavy drinking and drunksuncss amongthe boys and girls attending the Thanks-giving . dance-."" Assistant District At-torney C!eorge Reed was quoted as say-ing : "Complaint after complaint hasbeen made to me of tho conditions atthis Thanksgiving danco. Mothers andfathers came to mo with tears in theireyes,and risked me to do something toclean up a situation which has becomeintolerable." (Applause.)"ANYTHING WRONG WITH NEW

ZEALAND?"Mr. Annsfrong cited a mass of similar

ovi'h lire as to drunkenness iimoii;;.-!.IH!Wi-l».'Vj| illll) il(noi|;;>-|, |lji; |.npl| l.'l I jijllyuucrully having "really iiKTcuted un l

der Prohibition. It was shown, headded,that since 1912 tho Savings Bankfigures of the U.S.A. had increased by150 per cent. Little old New Zealand,since 1914, showed an increase of 150per cent. also. During thnt period thepeople of New Zealand had retained theirfreedom and maintained their thrift;and he hoped that New Zealand wouldcontinue to retain and maintain both.(Applause.)NO CONTROL OF PARLIAMENTThere was one other matter to be em-

phasised. Thnt was the attempt of theProhibition Party to secure control ofParliament. The Licensing Reform As-sociation had exposed this. It was a.most immoral and vicious principle tointroduce into tho political life of NewZealand that candidates should be elect-ed on tho one issue of Prohibition. Therewere numbers of vital questions affect-ing the Dominion that should be care-fully weighed before the electors casttheir votes for any candidate. He hop-ed the people would show their disap-proval of the attempt to put the controlof Parliament in the hands of the Pro-hibition Party by recording an over-whelming majority against Prohibitionon Wednesday next.

A number of questions were put andanswered,after which the speakers wereaccorded a vote of thanks.(Extended report, published by arrange-

ment.)

"IT IS NOT CHANGED"

LABOUR'S LAND POLICY

ME. CHAPMAN REPLIES,

-"Notwithstanding the criticism thathas been levelled at the Labour Party'sland policy," said Mr. C. 11. Chapman,the Labour candidate for WellingtonSuburbs, at Island Bay last evening,"and notwithstanding the statementsthat have been made, 1 can assure youthis evening that the policy of theparty has not been changed, und thatthe candidates who are standing inLabour's interests have not the slight-est intention of changing their policysimply because it is criticised."

In reply to questions asked by theWelfare League, Mr. Chapman said thatapparently the writer did not realisethat tho law to-day was that valuationsof. all land were to be made. Hateswero levied upon valuations; how wasthat valuation arrived at unless it wasmade as valuations must be? On page6 of the pamphlet issued by the LabourParty in explanation of its land policyappeared the following paragraph :—

"Any owner who is not satisfied withthe State valuation as provided abovemay fix his own valuation, the Stateto have the right to acquire the prop-erty at any time thereafterat the valua-tion so fixed, plus the value of im-provements. The owner may at anytime reduce the valuation."

Valuations in the drdinary coursewould be determined by an AssessmentCourt, comprising one member appoint-ed by the Government,one member ap-pointed by the local bodies within thpland district, and one member selectedby tho laiid occupiers of tho land dis-trict. Provision was mnde also foran Appeal Board, consisting of a Supreme Court Judge, oue person appointed by the Government,and one personrepresenting the land occupiers.

At the present time, continued Mr.Chapman, a property owner might becompelled to sell. Apparently the op-ponents of Labour did not realise thatthe Wellington City Council could goalong and put a proclamation upon aproperty, under the Public Works Act,if it was considered advisable to buy intho public interest, and the owner couldthen sell to no one else than the CityCouncil.

The Labour Party's land policy hadbeen put forward to deal with the mostimportant problem beforeNew_ Zealandat the present time. The housing prob-lem was serious,but the land problemwas at the bottom of all problems.Tho Labour Party's policy would en-courage men to go op the land, andwould ensure them financefor the work-ing of the land and the fullest produc-tivity of the land. The result of thepresent system was thai boom . timeswere followed by slump times, bybankruptcies, and by farmers' walkingoff their lands. Everyone knew thatthat was what had happened in NewZealand, but when the Labour Partycame along and put forward proposalsthat would, if carried into effect, endthe present unsatisfactory system andits effects, the policy was misrepresent-ed by those to whose interest it wasto misrepresent, and it was said thatLabour would confiscateland and prop-erty. No greater slander had everbeen uttered. The suggestion that aLabour Governmentwould take fromone. to give to another was simply a

vague imagining of a low mentality.In answer to a question, Mr. Chap-

man said that the first application ofits land policy winch a Labour Govern-ment would reake would be in respectof estates of over £20,000in value, andprobably the averageperson would notbo himself affected at all, except byhis sharo of the benefits which followupon tho application of a policy whichwould make for increased productivity.Tho Labour.Government would extendtho Lund Transfer Department's opera-tions to enable transfers to bo madewithout payment of excessive fees, andit was probably safe to say that ninety-nine' land asenls out of every hundredwould certainly voln against Labour'sland policy. (Laughter.)

ROWINGPROGRESS OF THE SPORT

NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION

ANNUAL MEETING OFDELEGATES.

Matters of interest in connection withthe control of rowing in New Zealandwere dealt with at the annual meetingof the New Zealand Amateur RowingAssociation held in the Accountants'Chambers yesterday . afternoon. MajorH. A. Lomax (Wanganui) presided.There were also present Messrs. G.Lauchlan and A. Gray (Wanganui), C,F. Turner and B. A. Marris (Canter-bury), C. S. Eastwood (Southland), E.S. Inness and D. R. Menzies (Auck-land), J. Bright and A. Whittaker(Wellington), H. Paton (Otago), A. M.Hale (Marlborough), and A. D. Bay-feild (hon. secretary).

A YEAR OF PROGRESSIn speaking to the annual report, Mr.

Inness said the association had passedthrough a year of distinct progress,and the success of the Dominion's re-presentatives in Australia had given thesport astimulus. In this respect a wordshould be said on the work done bythe crew's coach (Mr. 11. Ayres), andcredit should also be given to Mr. C.Healy, the stroke of the eight. Mr.Inness referred to the progressmade asa result of the visit, and said interesthad been taken in rowing from one endof the country to .the other. "It hasbeen proved," he said, "that we cancompete successfully with any countryin the world."

Reviewing the year's sport, he saidat the championship regatta the stan-dard of rowing was very good. Hesuggested that a distinct style in row-ing might be adopted, as was the cus-tom in other countries, and to thisend suggested that a conference ofcoaches should be called.

He -regretted that the interprovin-cial fours had been dropped, but hopedthat in future, when each associationhad a couple of eights, which the coun-cil hoped to present with the proceedsof the art union now being floated,the interproyincial fours and interpro-vincial eights would be rowed on thesame day. The council hoped to fostereight-oared rowing, as that was theclass of rowing which the public ad-mired most. One of the difficulties thecouncil had experienced was finance."We are authorised to accept invita-tions, but we do not get the financialsupport we should," said Mr. Inness."If local associations kept in touchwith their old oarsmen, there shouldnot be the difficulty that has been ex-perienced."

The annual report, details of whichhave been published, and the balance-sheet, were adopted.The election of officers for the ensu-ing year resulted as follows:—Presi-

dent, Mr. M. 11. Priest (Otago); vice-presidents, Messrs. A. 11. Courtis(Southland),- and J. E. Widdop (Wel-lington); council! Messrs. E. S. In-ness, G. Lauchlan, D. Menzies, H.Paton, B. Marris, C. Eastwood, C.Turner; lion, secretary, Mr. A. D. Bay-feild (re-elected).APPLICATION FOR REINSTATE-

MENTC. G. Fearon, of Auckland, who has

been suspended for two years, appliedfor reinstatement as an amateur.Mr. Inness, who brought the matter

forward, explained that Fearon hadbeen suspended for receiving moneywhile employed by Hadfield when thelatter turned professional.

Fearon appeared before the meeting,and explained that he acted in ignor-ance of the amateur 'rules. Hadfield,he said, had been a life-long friend.Fearon' said he had never hired himselfout to any other professional, but hadhelped Hadfield because ho had livedwith him before the war, when he wasan amateur., Mr. Menzies :■ "There is no objectionto him helping Hadfleld as long as hedoes not receive money."

Mr. Inness: -"The council deprecatesthe' idea of an amateur helping a pro-fessional."

The application was granted.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP REGATTAThis season's,championship regatta

was allocated to the Otago Association,which was tho only association whichapplied for the fixture. The regatta isto be held at Dunedin about 6th March.

Tho secretary reported that no appli-cation had been received for the Inter-provincial Fours, which this season areto be held in the South Island. Itwas decided to leave the matter in thehands of the council. >,

ESTABLISHING A FUNDThe striking of a levy on all active

club members for the establishment ofa fund for overseas tours was broughtforward by the Wanganui delegates.Mr. Gray said his association had in-structed him to submit a. remit thatthe levy be increased from sixpence toone shilling. There©were"- about 2000rowers in New Zealand, and the in-creased levy would mean that the coun-cil's fund would bo increased from £50to £100.

Mr. Lauchlan seconded the motion,and said ho did not think the shillingwas enough. The expenses of the NewZealand crew which visited -Australialast, season were about £1200. .In IheSydney clubs a levy of 5s a, memberwas slnic.lt.'

Ou belialf of tho New Zealand Coun-cil, Mr. liiuess moved an amendmentthat the: levy be increased to 3s, to be-come operatives from, next season. Alevy of 3s would mean an .income of£300 to tht) council, and if New Zea-land had to entertain or send awaycrows every two yearsthe council wouldhave £600 to finance tlio scheme.

Tho amendment was defeated, andtho motion that a levy of one shillinglie. levied was curried.

Mr. Inness immediately gave noticeof motion, on behalf of tho council,(hat the annual levy be increased to 3s.Mr. Lauchlau seconded, tho motion,which is lo bo. considered at a specialmeeting of the 'association.

RECOGNITION OF COACHESMr. G. Ltuuchlan, manager of the

eight which visited -Australia last sea-son, presented his report, and in doingso said ho thought that the iS'ewZea-land Council should officially recognisecoaches,as was done in Sydney. Hesuggested that coaches might be givencertificates, and that a conferenceofcoaches be held at each championshipregatta.

Mr Lauchlan also strongly advocatedestablishing eight-oared rowing, point-ing out that eight-oared rowing wasmost spectacular, and would capture thepublic support.

EIGHT-OARED CHAMPIONSHIPThe council opprovcfl of the establish-

ment of a provincial eight-oared cham-pionship, and alto decided to ufliciallyrecognise. coarJios of crews.

In I'vjmrd lo intercolonial visila, mitho uiuliuu of Mr, BayGdd it was dc-

tided to enter iulo negotiations withthe Australian Rowing Council with aview to New Zealand visiting Australiain 1927.

Mr. G. Bright (Wellington) gavenotice of motion to the effect that theNew Zealand Association establish localchampionships, and that tho champion-ship regatta be held on a permanentcourse, Picton for preference.

THEL.R.A. "RED HERRING"

A vote for State Purchase is a votefor Continuance. The New ZealandLicensing Reform Associate -i issimply playing the liquor party'sgame by drawing a red herring call-ed Corporate Control across the path.Any other name would serve as well,because the liquorparty does not carewhat you call the third hsue.so longas they get a third issue on the ballotpaper thatwill ensure life to Continu-ance on a minority vote. CorporateControl is simply the latest fancy;name for this red herring issue.Corporate Control has been de-nounced by Mr. W. D. Hunt, leadingfinancial expert, as '' the biggest finan-cial 'steal' ever thought of in thiscountry." Although it professes tobe an answer to the challenge by theAnglican General Synod, not a singlemember of the Synod could bo foundwilling to ask GeneralSynod to acceptit. Archbishop Julius said: "It mayperhaps advantage the Trade, but willcertainly do serious harm to the com-munity."

The Parliamentary Licensing Com-mittee did not recommend CorporateControl.as an issue to go on the ballotpaper. The discredited State Purchaseissue is bound to como off. There isnothing else in sight in. the way of"reform," and your vote, if cast forState Purchase, will be cast actuallyfor Continuance.

Under present legislation no thirdissue on the ballot paper can everbo carried becauso it would have toget more votes than ContinuanceandProhibition combined.. It does notmatter what you--call the third issue,tho fact remains tlio same. Prohibi-tionists would not vote for it, neitherwould people who want Continuance.Ev.ea if it topped tho poll tho thirdissue could not be carried. Suppos-ing the figures were as follow:—

Any third issuo 350,000 j-" Prohibition 300,000

Continuance 100,000the third issue would still not be car-ried, Prohibition would not be car-ried, and Coutiiiuance would go on,although the vote was over 6 to 1against it. That's just exactly whytho liquor traffic support CorporateControl as an issuo on the ballotpaper. They know that, humanlyspeaking, it can. never bo carried whileProhibition and Coutinuanco are onthe same ballot paper, and that Con-tinuance will be safe, with all itmeans for them of easy money. Theybluff sincere and well-meaning peopleby pretending to want ''CorporatoControl," but all tho time they areworking to ensure Continuance. Ifyou honestly don't want Prohibition,be man enough1 to vote Continuance.Don't allow yourself to be gulled intobelieving anything called "reform"is likely to happen. If you don'twant Continuance, then be manenough to vote for Prohibition mil cutout the insincere "red-herring" issue.CANADIAN ANGLICAN CHURCH

DENOUNCES STATE CONTHOL.In the year 1923, two years after tho

Quebec Government had introduced,without a vote of the people, its Gov-ernment scale scheme, tho AnglicanCouncil of Social Service of MontrealDiocese passed a resolution in whichit stated: "Wo regret 'to sco thatmany of the amendments to tho lawhave been tu-.-ards the extension offacilities for purchasing liquor, parti-cularly in the lengthening of thohours of sale. Your committee wouldlike also to protest against the estab-lishment of taverns in districts re-gardless■of the wishes and againsttho declared desires of the resi-dents."

The "Canadian Churchman." in1924 published tho following state-ment just before the poll in Ontario:"The same sordid story comes fromevery province where so-called Gov-ernment 'control' lias been blindly,adopted. More drinking, more drunk-enness, more - crime, nio'ro ■accidents,moro misery, more waste—and, aboveall, infinitely more of tho curse ofbootlegging." This prospect shouldsend every earnest man and woman inOntario to the polls on 23rd Octoberto vote for the continuance,strength-ening, and vigorous enforcement oftho Ontario Temperanco Act." ;

Tho people 'of Ontario defeatedState Control and retained Prohibitionby a majority of 33,915.—(Publishedby arrangement.)

LADIES' GOLF.

MISS CHRYSTALL PROVINCIALCHAMPION

STRAIN WITHERS MISS JERVIS,

Playing steady golf except upon thegreens, Miss Chrystall (Christchurch)yesterday afternoon at Herctauhgadefcutod Miss N. Jcrvis (Hutt), 4iind 3, for the ladies' championshipof Wellington Province. Miss Chry-stall was not always straight fromtho tee, but, driving a long ball, andapproaching well, had the bettor ofthe game from the start. Miss JervisT7is hitting down her tee shots, ap-proaching timidly, and puttingbadly.She tqok three putts on a number ofgreen's, and lost several chances therebecause Miss Clirystall was al i weakwith her putter. Miss Jervis was onthe first green in 3, but took fourputts, Miss Chrystall taking the holein 6-7. Miss Chrystall's long driveat the second found tho rough at theedge of the bunker, and her seco:--dwas short, while her long third laywith the bunker on the right uutwecuit and the hole, which cost her 6.Miss Jervis's lay on tho edge of thegreen in 3, and was down iv 5 (allsquare). Miss Jervis's niashio shotwas short at tho third, and in tl j

bunker, and Miss Chrystall took theholo in 4-5. (Miss Chrystall, 1 up.)Although Miss Jervis toppeI her sec-ond, she placed a nice third to thefourth holo, which was halved in 4.Miss Chrystall had luck with her atthis hole, as sho hooked her tee shotinto tho foaco and thick willows, butit struck a post and rebounded to themiddle of tho fairway. Miss Jervistopped her drive at the fifth, butplayed a nice second to tho edge ofthe green. Miss Chrystall had au Bftputt for a 3, but took 4, to Miss Jcr-vis's 5, tho latter missing a sft puttfor a4. (Miss Chrystall, 2 up.) MissChrystall had a bad stance and lieat the sixth from her toe shot, andplayed a poor wooden second. Shosliced her third into the rough, andher fourth was too strong, while herapproach putt was short, and shomissed tho next. Miss Jcrvis tookthe holo in 6-5. (Miss Chrystall, 2up.) Although Miss Chrystall had a.very long drive and second at thesoventh, both were on tho green in 3.Miss Jervis took 3 putts, and lostthe hole in b-5. (Miss Chrystall, 2upO The eighth was halved in 6's.Miss C'irystall was through tlie greenin light rough iv 3, but took 3 putts.Miss Jervis had the better drive atthe ninth, but dropped her shoulder,duffing her inashie shot, and her nextwas short, but sho laid the hole in5-0, Miss Chrystall, "..-ho was at theside of the green in 2, taking fourputts. (Miss Chrystall, 1 up.)

So far the game had been fairlyoven, but the last nine saw Miss Jer-vis's nerves give way. Both were ohtho tenth ill 2, and halved it in 5.Miss Jervis's low toe shot hit thebunker at tho eleventh, and cannon-ed to tho left, but she played a goodsecond,and her third was on the edgeof the green. Miss Ohrystall's secondlay past the bunker to tho right ofthe green, and she took the hole in5-6. (Miss Chrystall, 2 up.) Thecross bunker at tho twelfth againtrapped Miss Jervis's low teo shot.She got out well, but duffed her next,and put her next into the bunker onthe loft, taking 7. Miss Chrystall wasnicely on tho green in 3, and downin 5. (Miss ChrystalL, 3 up.) MissJervis had a good drive at the thir-teenth, but got under her second,finding the bunker, and was merelyout with her next, and short of thogreen with her fourth, and Miss'Chry-stall, who had only a short chip totho greon from her second, took thohole in 5-6. (Miss Chrystall, 4 up.)The ' fourteenth was halved in 4,through poor putting by Miss Chry-stall, who was on the green with herteo shot. Miss Jervis hooked herdrive ' adly, laid her second withinputting distance, and missed the putt.The fifteenth was halved in 3, andMiss Chrystallwon the gamo in 4 and3, and the title. Had Miss Jervisplayed anything like her game of theprevious afternoon, she would havewon easily, but the nerve strain wastoo much for her.

The prize-giving took place imme-diately after the match. The clubcaptain, Mrs; M'lntosh, presided, andapologised for the absence of the pre-sident, Lady Ward. Mrs. M'lntoshregretted that indisposition had pre-vented Mrs. Sclanders from contest-ing her title; and thanked Mr. Ab-bott for rofereeing the match, and allthose who had assisted to make thetourna. tent a success.

ST. HELENS HOSPITALQUESTION OF CHANGE OF

CONTROL

The Finance. Committee of the Wel-lington Hospital Board reported at ameeting yesterday:—"Be St. HelensHospital, the Director-General ofHealth .wrote explaining that no fur-ther capital expenditure should be in-volved for some time, and that themaintenance cost to tho ratepayersshould bo about £1500 per annum, areply be sent stating that there is noimmediate prospect of this board con-sidering the proposal to takp over thisinstitution from the Government."

Mr. P. Castlo agreed that the boardcould not give this matter immediateconsideration. He thought, however,that attention should bo given to thosubject befofre the end of tho financialyear, in order to determiuo whetherthe board should take over the St.Helens Hospital. If the board de-cided to build, it would mean anexpenditure of £20,000 at least.Therefore the present proposal wasnot a bad bargain.

Mr. E. Vine thought it would bewell to refer the question to a com-mittee for further consideration.

Mr. A. J. M'Curdy moved as anamendment, "That this board willconsider the proposal to take overthe institution from tho Governmentwhen framing the estimates for 1920----27."

Mr. W. Apploton did not agreethattho board should take the institutionover holus bolus. Thcro would bea loss of £5000 . per . annum—pro-bably more. If tho board made anarrangements to take over the hospitalthey should also arranges for a sub-sidy from tho Government. '■ Hethought the proposed change wouldbo good business from tho point ofview of the Hospitals Department,and such a change would certainlyhave to be faced by the board. Ifthe board did not use the presentbuilding, members \ would have toffaee an additional monthly expendi-ture of £30,000 or £40,000, andthey would have to faeo an annualloss of £5000 per annum.

The amendment was adopted.

ENTERTAINMENTSSISTINE SOLOISTS.

The generoussupport accorded liyNow Zealand music-lovers to the Sis-tine Choir Soloists has induced thomanagement to arrange a return tourof tho Dominion, which is announcedto commence at 'Wellington nextThursday. Two farewell concerts willbo given in the Town Hall—on Thurs-day and Saturday of next week. Thosoloists will then revisit practicallyall the North Island towns, givingone concert in each. The programmesCor the two Wellington concerts willconsist mostly of i.ew numbers, butsome of the old favourites will be re-peated. On Thursday evening thousual madrigal s frion will be replac-ed by a selection of sacred numbersfrom the repertoire used by thesesingers in the '.Roman basilicas.Signor Buraui, the young baritonewhoso remarkable voice created greatinterest at the recent season there,will bo heard in the song of the tore-ador from "Carmen." The boxplans will be opened at The Bristolon Tuesday morning.

QUEEN'S THEATRE.Between participating iv an ama-

teur night on the Bowery, which in-cluded a couple of songs for the audi-ence, makinga wild.dash across shell-tonv battlefields in France, saving a"battalion of Pronch troops from ut-ter annihilation, and.then recoveringfrom "temporary blindness" forscenes for her latest Paramount pic-ture, Bebe ' Daniels crowded enoughexcitement into the production o""The' Crowded Hour," which headsa great programme at the Queen'sTheatre this evening to justify thetitle. Kenneth Harlan and T. RoyBarnes head the east, which includessuch prominent.Broadway players asHelen Lee Worthing, Frank Morgan,Armand Cortez, Alice Chapin, andAVarner Richmond. Directed by ]?.Mason Hopper, "Tho Crowded Hour"is a story in all the elements thatone knows to appeal-—a different sortof triangular love drama, involving a'selfish,man-wrecking woman, a youngand handsome millionaire, and the lat-ter'a wife. It is a powerful storythat culminates iv a dynamic climax.An excellent supporting programmeis also included.

STRAND THEATRE."Merry-Go-Kound" .and "The

Hound-of tho Baskervillcs" aro thetwo features which commenced atthe (Strand Theatre to-day. MaryVhilb;iv-and ."Norman Kerry head',anexcellent, cast in "Merry-Go-Roujul,'.'"a romance tinctured with the deepestkind oi' ipathos. A little drudgegrinds out tunes-on an'organ at thecommand of a cruel and relentlesstaskmaster, but into her life comesa Prince Charming. Though thedirector has coloured the picturewith Austrian court life—withpomp and ceremony, he never crowdsthese'two characters, who are over inthe foreground. The picture blendsAn every scene without a jarring noto,and the "figures ; aro forceful and thetender romance' strikes home. "TheHound of the- Baskervilles" is adapt-ed from one of Sir Arthur .Conai:Doyle's most famous detective stories.Iris a thrilling mystery romance ofDartmoor, written round a ghostlyhound, and the use it is put to by ascoundrel. Eille Norwood, who isprobably the best actor of detectiveparts, takes the role of SherlockHolmes. The final episode of "Intho Days of Daniel Bonne" is alsobeing shown.

BRITANNIA THEATRE."The finest sceneryin the world," asBudyard Kipling said of New Zealand

many years ago, is exemplified in nouncertain manner, by the screen classicwhich the Government is presenting un-der the titlo "Glorious' New Zealand,"at the Britannia Theatre.

DE LUXE THEATRE.A brilliant prologue, in which a num-

ber of local amateurs will depict tliarevels that took place at Nero's Court,will usher in the film "Quo Vadis" attlie De Luxe Theatre this evening. Thestory of the classic is world famed,and helped to win for its author thecoveted Nobel prize in 1906. Thoscenes are set in tho "plendour andglory of ancient Rome, when Nero wasat the height of his power. Rome wasat her greatest just before her fall,with mighty pagan temples filled' witha. pleasure-seeking people hastening tonational doom. This forms the themeof a production, which in itsSfpnie ami human portraits demonstratesthe almost incredible strides made bythe camera in the reproduction of his-torical drama almost forgotten. Thelove story concerns a beautiful Chris-tian slave girl, Lygia, who captures theheart of the pagan Vinicius. Emil Jan-rungsis said to eelipEe all records in his

.representation of the powerful and aw-ful Nero; while Lilian Hall Davis hasthe role of Lygia, his beautiful and un-fortunate hostage. Incidental music will1-e contributed by the De Luxe Orches-tra, under the baton of Mr. L. D.Austin. Box plans are at The Bristol,Aitken's Book Arcade, or seats may bereserved by telephoning the theatre.

KING'S THEATRE."The Marriage Market," a Columbia

Pictures production, boasting one of thefinestall-star casts in filmdom, and pene-trating to the very core of the marriageproblem, is the photo-play coming tothe King's Theatre vhis evening.Headed by Jack Mulhall and PaulineGaron, the all-star cast embraces manyable actors and actresses. It is a superbtreatise on modern marriages. The au-thor contends that marriage is a marketin which the prettiest face and formand the most charming porsonality getthe highest price. The story centresaround an attractive young girl who issent to a fashionable "finishing school"to be prepared for marriage—but be-cause of her impulsive nature is hurledinto a series of entanglements, andbarely escapes- in time to prevent burn-ing her fingers. There is also a choicearray of supporting films' to ac-companythe star feature, including thelatest Pathe Gazette, a Pathe Review,and an exceptionally funny comedy.For this fine programme a . specially-selected musical score will be renderedby the King's Orchestra, under the batonof Mr. A. 11. Jerome. A full orchestralmatinee- will bo held to-morrow at2.30. Box plans are open at The Bris-tol, or ring the theatre.

EMPRESS THEATRE.■Fred Thomson and his remarkable

.horso Silver King are back' againat the .Empress Theatre this week in"Thundering Hoofs." The suppiniAing feature is "The .BelovedCheater," starring Lew Cody. FredThomson's handsomo athletic figureand" charming bearing are enough tomake him popular, but when one seesthis champion athlete in action thereason for his universal popularity isnot far to seek. His horso SilverKing is almost as popular as his mas-ter, and he is easily one of the mostintelligent animals ever seen on thoscreen. The picture is full of thrillswith -i'-st the right amount of ro-mance and comedy situations. Tack-ling a full-sized Spanish bull bare-handed, after the animal had beenmaddened into white-hot fury by the,barbs of tho picadors and matado'-s,is no child's play, but Fred Thomsonactually docs it, and comes out vic-torious. Lew Cody makes love in hisinimitable way in "The BelovedCheater," a romantic story. ."There iaalso a splendidly selected programmeof supporting pictures.

"THE FIRE PRINCE."Good amateur productions arc al-

ways much appreciated by tho amuse-ment-loving public, and the charmingtwo-act operetta, "The Fire Prince,"which is. to bo presented at the GrandOpera House oh 7th and 9th Novem-ber, by Mrs. Albert Russell's operaclass, for tho Karitane Plunket Ap-peal, promises to bo the most success-ful given in Wellington for sometime. Mr. Leigh Dew, a new tenor,will play the- titlo role; while MissMolly M'Arthur, as Roca,is a charm-ing soubrctte. Excellent comedy isprovided by Mr. Joe Hunt and MissLillian Grey, as the King and Queenof Pantonflia. An exhibition whirl-wind tango by Miss Joan Beero andher ■ partner, and artistic ballets areprovided by Miss Estellc Bccrc. ■ Aspecialty danco by Miss FlorenceHayworth, Don Purvis, and boys, andthe "Dinah" ballet arranged byDavid D. Witt arc some of tho attrac-tive features introduced. Scats maybo reserved at Tho Bristol.

AUSTRALIAN SILVER BAND.Those to whom brass music appeals

should not fail to hear the AustralianSilver Band, at present appearing atthe Grand Opera. House. Both in en-semble and solo numbers a high stau-dard is maintained. Every player is anartist on his particular instrument,and the combination is quick to respondto the baton of the conductor, Mr.Albert H. Baile, late of the NewcastleSteel Works Band. The present com-bination is rich in champion soloists,most notable of whom is Mr. Arthur P.Stender,whose cornet items are a treatin themselves. The generousprogrammesubmitted last evening included theoverture "Zamba" (Herold), "NearerMy God to Thee," the grand selection"Liszt," and selections from "II Tro-vatore" (Verdi). In a lighter veinwere the "Gipsy's Warning" (Ilart-mann), "Maggie," and a humorous fan-tasy, "The Woop Woop Band Contest,"which depicts an Australian out-backband, the soloists of which are suffer-ing from "nerves." Mr. Arthur Sten-der played the cornet solo "Zelda"(Code), which proved extremely popu-lar. Mr. Harold Reid played "WilliamTell" (Rossini) on tho xylophone, andMr. Harold Hewson was heard to ad-vantage in a euphonium solo. Tho bandwill give a further concert at the GrandOpera House to-night, and to-morrownight will transfer to the Town Hall.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE.Samuel Goldwyn's newest presenta-

tion is a George Ifitzmuurice production,"His Supreme Moment," featuringBlanche Sweet and Ronald Coleman,adapted from May Kdginton's novel,"World Without End," which com-menced screening at the ParamountTheatre to-day. It is a romantic typeof story that is unfolded here and onewhich bears out the old adage that truelove does not run smooth. The dis-tinguishing highlight of the plot is thefact that while the heroine, a stagestar, is madly in love with the heroshe is so afraid that marriage may endthe romance that in order to try andascertain whether they are suited toeach other she stipulates that she ac-company him to his South Americanmine as his sister for one- year. Thereis a novel opening, in which the heroineappears in an elaborate oriental dancenumber in which she is apparentlykilled. The romance between heroand heroine is a case of love at firstsight, and the courtship is of thewhirlwind kind. Comedy, scenic, andgazette, and the Paramount Orchestra,complete an exceptionally fine, pro-gramme.

ARTCRAFT THEATRE.Commencing at the Artcraft The-

atre to-night, for a three nights' sea-son only, SessueHayakawa, tho Jap-anese-American film star, makes a re-turn agpearance on tho screen in"Where Lights are Low." Amongthe many episodes arc several inter-esting scenes laid in San Francisco'sfamous Chinatown before fire laid it■waste. A j.Jathe News, Review, andcomedy are included in the bill, all toappropriate music by James Haydock.

Nominations for the Ashhurst andLevin Meetings close to-night.

The clash between the AucklandSpringand New Zealand CupMeetingsis to be regretted, and there is muchto be said in favour of the DatesCommittee keeping the Auckland fix-ture - one week ahead of that atChristchnrch. The classic races andpossibly the principal handicaps, arethe ones that suffer by the clash, andafter all the former are of the mostimportance in racing.

An attempt was made to obtain C.Emerson's services for Ilka in theStewards' Handicap, but the South-ern horseman had a prior engagement.So far no definite arrangements havebeen made, but it is possible that D.Butler, who rode the Finland mareon the first day at Trentham, will bein the saddle at Riccarton.

The twelve months' disqualificationof Roseday, his owner (Mr. J. Rich-ardson) and the trainer and jockey(D. P. Wilson and A. H. Wilson) ex-pired yesterday

Motley should win a race very soon.Shewas in great buckle at Trenthara,but could not act at all on the greasygoing. If it is fine at Eller6lie itwill be surprising if she does not showup well.It is expected that the Carterton

Club will show a small profit on itsrecent meeting.

According to Australian exchanges,J. M. Cameron is likely to bring TheHawk back.to New Zealand. It isstated that the injuries to his hindlegs have yielded^to treatment, but oneof his hoofs had to be pared down tosuch an extent that, even with spec-ial shoes, he 'cannot put his leg downto the ground in comfort.

Sottana was schooled over fourflights of hurdles at Randwick lastweek, and shaped well for a begin-

Up to the end of the A.J.C. Meet-ing G. Price had won eight races inthe Sydney metropolitan area of thevalue of £9951.

Mr. C. F. Vallance's horses wentSouth by the Maori last night. Theywere Merry Singer, Little Eiver, BedFuchsia, Grand National, and Pcn-eus.

Money Order, with F. C. Porter inthe saddle, galloped six furlongs onthe plough in lmin 15 3-ssec at Rie-carton yesterday. The brilliant efforthas served to direct further atten-tion to the prospects of the PaperMoney three-year-old (states the"Star")- He has Bet 31b in theStewards' Handicap, which is a goodweight for a three-year-old, but evenunder that burden he is likely torace well in the sprint event, if heis a starter. This, of course, is byno means certain, as T. H. Gillett 'sstable has another likely candidatein the imported mare Glentruin.

Tiff pulled up very lame at Eiccar-ton yesterday morning. The troubleuppears. to be in the off hip, and itwill come as no surprise if his racingcareer is at an end. Tiff has beenan unlucky horse since first he wentinto work, accidents of various kinds'having interfered with his ■ racingmore than once.

The Hangiora Cup has been an un-lucky race for Deucalion. He hasfilled third place three years in suc-cession.

Of the field which contested theNew Zealand Cup a year ago, therewill probablybe five who will contestthe two mile race again next week.They are Sunarf (last year's win-ner), Deucalion, Tarlcton, Carpcntier,and Lueiuette.

The New Zealand Cup candidateKilfauc was sold by Mr. A. S. Cam-bridge at the close of the Gore Bae-ing Club 'a Meeting this week, to Mr.H. Mason, of Invercargill. Mr. Ma-son has secured him to take the placeof Cupidon, who has gone amiss. Pos-sibly, with the change of ownership,Kilfauc will be allowed to forfeit hisKiccarton engagements.

For a horse that was such a goodfavourite, Boomerday ran very poor-ly in the Members' Memorial Handi-cap at Te Eapa on Monday (writes"Archer"). There was only onehorse behind him as the field enteredon tho back stretch, where his ridertried to move him up, bnt he couldnot improve his position. Boomerdayshowed no brilliancy during the race,and merely plodded on into fourthplace. Once again Barometer disap-pointed his admirers by failing to tin-ish nearer than third. When he mov-ed up to the leaders with a sharp runafter passing the six-furlong post, hischance looked bright, but he appear-ed to receive a check, and went backseveral lengths before reaching thehalf-mile. Barometer was handy toGold Jacket, at the turn, but couldmake no impression in the straight.

10. Bac secured a lucky chancemount on Birkenolla in tho "WaikatoHunt Cup. S. Henderson was engag-ed to ride that horse, but could notget sufficient lead to make theweight. N. Bowe was then offeredthe ride, but he, too, could not scaleat the required poundage, and B. Baewas given the mount.

The Banker, it is understood, is tobe sent to Biccarton to contest thoNew Zealand Cup. On figures he ismuch better treated in the Southernevent than in the Mitche'lson Cup.

WELCOMED OFFICIALLY ATNELSON.

(BT TEIEGRAPH,—PEESS ASSOCIATION.)NELSON, This Day.

Sir Ernest Butherford was accord-ed a civic welcome by a great gather-ing of eitizenss yesterday. In reply-ing, he said that he could say, iv asense, ho was in his horoo town. Howas born at Spring Grove (near Nel-son), attended the Foxhill School atfive years .of age, then went to theHavelock School, and from there wona scholarship which took him to Nel-son College. He said ho owed a verygreat deal to Nelson College, and itwas a very great ploasu-o to be backto tho scenes of his boyhood."I feel that tho fact that so manyhave assembled is not so much a wel-

come to me individually, but a wel-come to me from the fact that I wasborn in the Nelson district and iv re-cognition of the fact that a Nelsoniauhas been able to achieve some distinc-tion and hold up the end of Now Zea-land in the world."

SOCIAL WELFARE

REPORT OF HOSPITAL COM-MITTEE.

Mr. J. Pelherick, chairman of theWellington Hospital Social WelfareCommittee,reviewed the position forIho past half-year at the meeting oftin.! board yesterday. Ho said theboard was in a, satisfactory position inthis respect, the amount of expenditurebeing £600 below the estimate. Ananalysis of tho expenditure on outdoorrelief showed :—Expenditure, £3929;meat rations, £343; grocery rations,£1292; milk, £281; cash grants (mostlyfor rent), £963. The outstanding fea-tures for indoor relief, maintenance ofinmates of the homes, were as follow:--Bread, £103; meat, £183; butter,£92; tobacco, £121; pocket-money forinmates, £151. There were some peo-ple who thought that the inmates oftho homes were badly treated, but hefelt sure an examination of tho aboveitems, including tho amount given aspocket-money, should remove that im-pression. Mr. Pelherick thought mem-bers would agree, that the returns fortho half-year were highly satisfactory.

HOSPITAL NURSES

EFFICIENT STAFFING

Dr. D. M. Wilson, Medical Superin-tendent of the Wellington Hospital,submitted to the board yesterday areport on the training of nurses, inwhich he said:—"l am desirous, afterconsultation with the matron, tobring before you certain aspects con-cerning the training of our nurses,and the.efficient staffing of the hos-pital. Ido so now, as I considerthe efficient staffing of the Hospitalone of our most serious present prob-lems, and if I bring the subject be-fore your notice now members. willhave some time to study the questionbefore the beginning of another finan-cial year. By way of fintroduetion,xI may state that there has been aworld-wide movement in recent yearsto better the methods of trainingnurses and to improve their .status."New Zealand has led the way inproviding an eight-hour duty daily,and gone further by instituting as apolicy the one whole day off in seven.However, it is doubtful if we havebeen so progressive in our methodsof teaching and training. Tho mod-ern_ trend in nursing education is todivide the teaching standard into twomain classes. The one to give nursesa general education much' as at pres-ent, and the other to produce a morehighly-trained nurse who has made aspeciality of one branch of her pro-fession. With the progress of med-ical science and the more business-like management of institutions, ithas been felt there is a pressing needfor nurses specially trained in admin-strative and teaching duties. Thesenurses require a higher primary edu-cation, and their training is done asuniversity students. Tho HealthDepartment hasrealised this,and nextyear, in conjunction,.with.the Otago..University, is commencing a univer-sity class for matriculated" studentswho, after five years' study will re-ceive a diploma in nursing. I haveno doubt that in future all seniorhos-pital nursing appointments will be■made from those trainees.

TUTOR SISTER,"The Health Departmenthas asked

us to co-operate with them in inaug-urating their scheme by nominatinga sister to be sent to Dunedin in. Feb-ruary in 1926, for special, training asa tutor sister. This sister wouldtake the fifth year course of theabove-mentioned five years' univers-ity course and train twelve mouths.The fee for the course is £25; andshould one of the staff be sent, Iwould recommend the nurse's ex-penses and salary be paid.

CHILDREN'S MEDICAL WARD,"As a large proportion of the

children treated here are babies afow months old suffering from errorsin feeding, I would advise it be thepolicy of the board to always appointto the position a trained nurse whohas had a special course in methodsof infant feeding at Karitane Hos-pial or similar institution. It maybe necessaryto offer a slightly highersalary, but I consider the board andpublic would be amply repaid by theimproved results of treatment."

The suggestions of the medical sup.erintendent were adopted.

The Motora* "AUTOS"

THE SAFE ROAD

'For some time past a controversylias been going on in the British Pressas' to tho dangerous nature of someof the newer smooth-surface roads,Which it appears are very .conducive.tQ^a.dl, skids under certain "weatherconditions. "The Motor" deals withthe subject editorially.■'.V'SlJico tho outcry first arose in the'Press," says "The Motor," "regard-ing slippery road surfaces there has .be'on' much evidence of an active pub-iieitj* ■ propagandist campaign organ-,ised by various interests concerned.'frith the production of road-makingmaterials. The. efforts .thus made,to,.boost any and- every particular me-thod of "road construction and ma-terial have been so obviously inspired(that .'The Motor' has not allowed'.it-fielf.'folbe induced "to' publish anyof the ;matter which has been pouredinto our letter-box -for mouths'past... Safety and durability are the]x!iaiCr'e.quirements'of"fl:'r6ad Ito' carry"Bipdcnr"'.traffic, and",we believe thatexperience alone will .prove a road to

ibo> perfect in these important re-spects,'.'and that theoretical argument'by.,l("l

tcptamercially_."interjssted, i parties'will carry us nowhere.''■-■. ■",.-:" .";,;;' '"CV'Miybr 11. 0. D". 'Segfaye" has niacTo'a'stS-tement to the effect that parts ofthe GrandPrix course,^including someof the corners, were built of concreteand others, with granite aggregatebound with emulsified bitumen, andsurfaced again with granite (shippingsand the same material. The experi-ence of- the drivers in the race show-ed, according lo Major Segrave, that,despite tho rain, the surface of theroad was such as to.permit of veryliigh' speeds being maintained exceptat" the' "'concrete" corners,

'"'where 35

m.p.lii. was about the limit of safedriving;, but where the corners wereof granite, the course could be takenas" fasti'as the cars permitted. Hemakes" the further statement that onthe .straighter portions of the coursespeeds of 100 m.p.h. and over wereattained with safety, in spite of thewet condition of."the track.

.''Now, these experiences are inter-'esting, although they are not neces-sarily;'conclusive. Further informa-tion regarding fhc concrete surfaceso~n; the Grand Prix circuit would ap-pear to be required, us it'seems likelythat they must have' been smootherthan those of which. we have experi-ence in this country. Again, it mustbo pointed out that granite aggregatebound with'bitumen is not ne\v, andit is quite accurately, stated by theMinistry of Transport'that every pos-sible variant of this type ;of .road'could be found in England, and thatone of tho largest constituents ;ofcement-concrete is usually granite.

"The safe, durable road is the urg-ent need of the day, and'it would bounwise to ignore tho evidence adduc-ed by Major Segravo from his rac-ing experiences. With the powergiven to the Ministry of ■Transportto conduct experiments 'of variousroad" materials, it may be expectedthat every possible method of roadconstruction wfll bo thoroughly ex-plored, and that, in view of recentand continued unfortunate experien-ces on existing surfaces, the questionof safety will be given primary con-sideration." -

AWAKINO VALLEY ROAD

- A tribute 1 is paid to the new Awakino[Valley..road oh the. main Wellington-Auckland, highway

(by "Focus" in' the

.''New Zealand Herald," who says thatconstant maintenance is keeping . theroad in perfect order, there hardly be-ing a bump in the whole valley. Afterpassing Mahpenui, . there is a littleroughness descending a slope, but, once |past this, the road surfaceis delightful.Deep cuttings and fillings have made anf.;isy grade, and if ordinary care is exer-cised on the corners, there is no danger.The-road is flanked on one side by thesheer wall of rock from which it has beenexcavated. ■ The river runs below, andon the opposite side of the valley is atowering mass of native bush. The.scen-ery is beautiful. At one point the roadruns into what looks a solid barrier cfmountains,'there apparently being' nooutlet, until suddenly one' comes on atunnel which has been cut; through themountain side. .The picture, formed bylooking', .through.,the" dim'; light ",of theI iinnel ;putr'"irito'jhe" brigrrtrsunshincrre--fleeting on the water flowing throughthe forest-clad heights is ono never to be

forgotten. Beautiful as this portion is,there are many scenes ■ just as ' pretty.The road is a triumph of modernmethods of construction and mainten-ance, and should be an object lesson tomany of the counties which control por-tions of the grout south road. In in-numerable places slips have been takingplace, but these are not serious, anJserve-to furnish material with which towiden the road. The worst trouble ofall, comps from the swollen river whichis "undermining the bank, and in placescausing the edge of the road to fallaway. Here and there, tents and smallshacks house the maintenance men.whoseeffoi-tsare keeping the highway, in suchsplendid order.

FOR THE OWNER-DRIVER

Another addition to the vast libraryon- motoring appears in "Motoring * forthe Owner^Driver," in Cassell's well-known "Amateur Mechanic and Work"series of; handbooks. The little book is"interestingly written, and provides -illthe necessaryinformation for the.owner-driver when he starts out to own a car.There are lucid descriptions of all theprincipal working parts of the' car, <n-.eluding ..the .various .aspects of_the en-gine,;, self-starter, lighting set,, etc.

An auto-malic device adjusts the temperature ofthe, carburettor with exact nicety to thedemand of the motor at varying speeds.'It is this automatic control that enablesthe most complete vaporisation of petrolat all times, so that the'"petrol is forcedto yield maximum mileage and pqwcj'. ",

The Special Improved Spring Struc-ture also plays v big part in keepingdown the running costs of the NewNash. Besides enhancing the ridingcomfort of tho passengersand lengthen-ing the life of tho car, these springseffect a marked economyin the use ofoil, petrol, and tires.

They assist in conserving the tires,because they make the car hold the roadperfectly at all speeds, and because theydo away with (he jolting motion com-mon to cars less well balanced and lack-ing this spring construction. By thesame token, because there is no fruit-loss whdi'l-'spfnnihg, the Nash driver getsgreater mileage from each gallon of pet-rol and quart of oil.

Mr. Leo Whittaker, the weß-knownAuckland pianist, will return to NewZealand by the Niagara in Novemberafter having spent a considerabletime in London and on the Continent.

Somerset Maughan's novel, "TheMoon and Sixpence,'' Iras been drama-tised and produced in London. HenryAinley and Viola Tree played theleading roles.

Australian producers are alreadypreparing for tlie Christmas panto-mimes. The first principal boy hasbeen chosen. She is Elsie Princo, who

Iwill be the death of the wicked giantin "Jack and the Beanstalk" in Mel-bourne.

There is to be a general change-round of the musical revue companiesunder the Puller management. JimGerald's company goes to Dunedin,and, most likely, will remain theredirrittg the period of the Exhibition.Hermie Ward's company opens inChristchureh on 23rd November;Moon and Morris (with a reconstruct-ed company) open in Wellington onthe 23rd, and Phil Smith and his com-pany will be at Auckland on the16th. Another attraction to be hereshortly is Charlston's Jazz Band,which is said to eclipse all predeces-sors.

T. E. Foster, the stage manager of"A. Eoyal Divorce,"1 at the Theatre

Koyal, Melbourne,recalls the productionwith which he was associated as stage

I managerto Julius Knight, when it wasproduced 28 years ago in Melbourne. '"Recently," said Mr. Foster, "I. met

v a man in the street who, as a child,played the little King of Rome. He isnow married, with five children, and isa policeman !" '

Associated with Dame Clara Butt andI Mr. Kennerley Runrford, who are now in1 Melbourne, . is.- a noted pianist, Mile.

Antoinette Aussenac,who was born inPortugal. Prior to leaving for Austra-lia, she gave a special recital before thoKing and Queen o£ England at Bucking-ham Palace. She is a pianist of goodtalent and unusual personality. Chat-

i ting regarding the Australian tour, Mr.! Kennerley Eumford said that this wasj the fourth visit to Australia of Dame! Clara Butt and himself. "I am afraidI this will be tho last," said Mr. Ruin-

ford. "This trip we anticipated willtake about niuo .. months altogether.After touring the Commonwealth andNew Zealand we shall probably visitSingapore, Hong Kong, Japan, andIndia."

A notable musical attraction to bepresented early next year by J. and N.Xait i will be a concert season by thecelebrated young Australian pianist-composer, Percy Grainger. For the lastfive years Grainger has given over 150

■ piano recitals in Europe annually, play-ing before widely-enthusiastic and crowd-

i ed audiences in the artistic centres ofGreat Britain, Germany, Holland, Nor-way, Denmark, Finland, Russia, Bo-hemia, and Switzerland. "Percy Grain-ger stands alone; he is the one cheerful,sunny composer living," wrote the emi-nent London critic, John F. Bunciman,in the "Saturday Beview,"'referring tothe joyous and ecstatic personality thatpermeates all the works of PercyGrainger.

An Auckland girl, Cissio Staunton,thirty years ago had made something ofa reputation as a singer in the QueenGity, when a German organist namedGoldenstedt 'married her and they cross-ed to Australia, where she became con-tralto soloist in the Montague-TurnerOpera Co. After Goldenstedt's deathshe went to England, and her secondhusband was a Dutchman, one Gaetjens.They took up their residence in Hoi-laud. Now news comes, says a "SydneyBulletin" correspondent, that CeciliaElizabeth Gaetjens has died at Hamp-stead, London.

Several unrehearsed turns tookplace at Victoria Park, Greymouth,where a circus tent had been, erectedfor the opening performance (statesa local paper). While the lion-tamerwas putting the ' lion and lionessthrough their paces prior to the showa sudden gust of wind caused therain-sodden canvas to flog against thosteel cage, which capsized and col-lapsed ontop of the trainer and liona.Fortunately, the animals were pinnedagainst the steel gratings, makingescape impossible. The trainerscrambled out of the mix-up, and withthe aid of helpers succeeded in re-turning the beasts to their travellingcage. Shortly afterwards one of thecircus horses caught his hoof in thetackle of the main pole of the largetout, and in its efforts to liberate it-self kicked out several pegs, and fora few minutes the circus hands werein imminent peril of the canvas topcollapsing on them before the fright-ened animal was released. Mean-while the gale raged more fiercely,the rain came down in torrents, andthe management decided to cancel theperformance.

The Veterans of Variety—Messrs.Jake Friedman, Lily Burnand, GeorgeCampbell, Arthur Slater, and Flor-ence Hinton—are to succeed the JimGerald Bevne Company at His Majes-ty's Theatre. Reports from the Southstate that the qintct win thehearts ofpatrons by their clear-cut, spontane-ous efforts to entertain and iimuse.They enter whole-heartedly into theirrespective turns, and, as the masterof ceremonies, Mr. Campbell, explainsin introducingthe act, "let us all en-joy singing the old-time and popularsongs of 30 years ago." And tho per-formers give a fine lead. There is nostriving after effect by the veterans—they just present their wares, so tospeak, and they present them so effec-tively, so unostentatiously, so appar-ently ■vrith the desire to please, thatthey win a success from the verystart, and continue winning themright through thoir performance. Ineffect, the artists are there for thoentertainment of tho audience. Theyrely in no way on the reputation gain-ed by former triumphs on the stage*

till Monday morning; so the show didnot arrive at Whangarci till close onmidnight. But the pretty little townwas alive with timber-getters, guni-diggers, and outside Maoris, all gath-ered to see the circus. The Fitzger-alds were not the men to disappointthem. Up went the tent. The showstarted at 2 a.m. and finished at 4.30.Two other performances were given,one beginning at 2 p.m. and the otherat 7 p.m., and the circus was afloaton the return journey by a little aftermidnight.Pictures.

The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motionpictures, the coming of which to NewZealand has been looked forward to bypicture-lovers for some time, will beginoperations in Christchurch on 6th No-vember, when "The White Sister,"which was seen here a while back at atrade showing and which won the admi-ration of all who were privileged toview it, will have its premiere at theLiberty Theatre. Tho season at thathouse will be for one week, after whichit will transfer to the Grand Theatre,Christchurch, for an unlimited run. "TheWhit© Sister" will bo seen in Welling-ton at the De Luxe Theatre, beginningon New Year's night. Tho first Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production to be screen-ed in this city will be "The Silent Ac-cuser." This picture will begin at theKing's Theatre on Christmas night.

Lon Chaney's next starring vehicle forMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer will be "TheMocking Bird," an original story byTod Browning, who will direct the film."The Mocking Bird" has for its localethe Limehouse district of London, andhas an underworld plot with a stronglove theme. It offers Chancy immense op-. portunities for character acting of themost difficult and impi-essive sort, and

: will enlist the services of a large cast.Chaney's recent work upon the screen. has elevated him to the undisputed "posi-tion of the screen's greatest. characteractor.

Rudolph Valentino is hard- at work [on "The Lone Eagle," which isadapted by Hans Kraly from a Push-kin novelette A brilliant cast sup-ports the star. Vilma Banky, a pop-ular European actress, is playing op-posite Valentino. She is a strik-ing blonde,') and is said to have ex-ceptional acting ability. LouiseDresser, a stage star for many years,has tho role of the Czarina. Othersin tho cast are James Marcus, Gus-tav yon Seyffertitz, Eric Mayye,, Clark Ward. "The Lone Eagle".

| will differ from any previous Valon-; tino product in two important re-spects. It will abound in comedy.

I The star impersonates a dashing|young Cossack officer in tlie begin-ning, and later becomes a daring and

■mysterious bandit, whose exploits, thrill all.i A picturisation of "Gulliver'sITravels," which is being planned, isI to be given production on a scalecomparable to that of "Tho Hunch-back of Notre Dame" and "ThePhantom of the Opera."

Jack Daugherty, following hiswork in "The Scarlet Streak," willjstar iv "The Eadio Detective.". Thisadventure picture is from the pen ofArthur B. Reeve.

B. M. Bowers Js gripping" story,"The Eange Dwellers," has beenadapted for the screen under thetitle, "Taming the West." Thestory is admirably suited for HootGibson, who has the starring role.'

Laura la Plante is the star of ''TheTeaser." The supporting cast in-cludes: Hedda Hopper, WalterM'Grail, Byron Munson, .Vivian Oak-Jand, Wyndham Standing, MargaretQuimby, and Eranck Pinch Smiles.

Dolores Cassinelli, the noted Italianstage and screen beauty,is one of thefeatured players who will be seen insupport of Lila Lee in "The Mid-night Girl." Miss Cassinelli playsthe role of an opera satr, and it isinteresting to note in this connectionthat she is returning to the stage asa star in musical comedy.

"Seven Keys to Baldpate," tho mostsuccessful of the stage hits in Australia,

|by Fred. Niblo and Enid Bennett, sev-; eral years ago, will mark the return ofDouglas M'Leau to the screen. Thismystery comedy was selected from amonghundreds of possible stories as offeringthe star the best possibilities to displayhis comedy ability.

The John Barrymore'. unit is to besent to Java for exteriors, Barry-moro -will star in the picture "ThoSeaBeast." .

"On Thin Ice" deals with the ef-forts of an innocent girl, sent to thepenitentiary on false oviden.ee,to re-cover, her footing and respectability.The cast is composed of Tom. Moore,Edith Roberts, William Russell, Theo-dore yon Eltz, Wilfred North, Gert-rude Robinson, and "The TexasKM." "'",■.Gramophona.

"L'Enfant Prodigue," in tborea paxis,with the "Meditation," from "Thais,"is the latest recording made by the NewQueen's Hall Light Orchestra,for Colum-bia. The performance was conducted byEugene Goossens,seniiiy and advancereports of the record are distinctly fav-ourable.

Sir Hamilton Harty conducted theHalle Orchestra of Manchester for itsrecord for Columbia, of Berlioz, "Car-nival Roimio'n" overture. This work willbe received with particular interest bymusicians and students of music. It isin three movements—allegro, assai conFuoco, andante sostenuto, and allegrovivace. The origin of the work was theopera "Benvenuto Cellini," which, as a,complete work, was not accepted, butBerlioz was determined that some of themelodies should survive in tho form ofan overture.

Amongst the new records for the No-vember market is a remarkable bracketfrom Signor Apollo Granforte, whocreated a furore when he visited New-Zealand with the Melba Grand OperaSingers some time ago. His first recordsfor H.M.V. demonstrate that he is arecording artist of undoubted success.His numbers are the sombre "Credo inun Dio Crudel," from Verdi's "Otello,"and the dramatic "0 Monumenlo ! Regiao "Bolgia. Dogate !" from Ponchielli's "LaGiocondi."

There are very few recording tenorsof the hii,'h quality of Beniumiim Gigli,lung n. favourite with grinnonlioiiis'tß.This month lie presents a very linn hnio-kot—(lie oelobriilc'rl "0 TViriiciiso," fromMeyerbeer's "l;'Afric:uiii," y.-id (ho popu-lar "M'Appai'i lull.

"Wohin" (Op. 25 No. 2), and "Das Liedim Grunen" (Op. 115,No. 1). Both aresung in German.

The records of the Lener String quar-tet are steadily growing in numbers aswell as favour. Every player in this ac-complished quartet is an artist, as is evi-dent on hearing their records. The lat-est is Bethoven's quartet in E Flat.

Visits of grand opera companies toNew Zealand are few and far between,but, fortunately, the gramophone hassupplied the lack of grand opera per-formed in its entirety, for the recordsof "stars" that shine at Covent Garden,Sc&la in Milan, and Metropolitan inNew York, are available. Among thenumber in Columbia catalogue that willgive intense pleasure is Hipolite Lazaro'ssinging of "M'Appari," from "Martha"—one of the greatest of favourite tenorarias.' With it is'the popular "Vesti laGiubba," from "I Pagliacci." La,zarois a tenor of fine quality, and this is asplendid tenor record which one has nohesitation in recommending.

Whatever may have.been the attitudeof the Methodist Church towards thestage/ it must bo admitted that theChurch has given some fine singers toopera. This applies to America withrather more appropriateness than to Bri-tain and the Dominions. Norman Allin,the great basso,known to all who pos-sess gramophones, graduated in a York-shire church choir. He began at theage of nine, and ultimately reached thepinnacle of his hopes, singing in a grandopera, under Sir Thomas Beecham. Hisgreat forte is any role that gives scopefor intense dramatic expression. He hasall he can ask for in tho ballad "Ed-ward." It is a hair-raising, flesh-creep-ing song, and was written by Loewe in1818. No one hearing it for tho firsttime- as Norman Allin sings it, will for-get the air of tragedy with which he in-vests ,it. So great has been the demandfor this song,that it has been re-issuedagain and again by Columbia, and uu-til recently records were unobtainable inNow Zealand. They are here now, andconfirm Norman Allin's reputation as athrilling singer of works of this eeriecharacter. ,

One of tho most delightful orches-tral studies ever written is the celebrat-ed "Dance of the Hours," from Ponchi-elli's "La Gioconda." Quitethe bestrecording so far is that by the RoyalAlbert Hall Orchestra,which has arriv-ed with tho November budget.

Lovers of 'cello music of not too high-brow quality will be sure to like Cedrk-Sharpe's own arrangements of the oldIrish air, "Believe me if all those en-dearing young charms," and Elgar'sbeautiful "Rosemary."

There has not been such a delight-ful recording of strings for some timeas in the Eustic Wedding Symphony(gold mark). As a strong contrast thereis Moskowski's Spanish dance "Malagu-ena," with its strong rhythmic charm.It is recorded by H.M.V.

Further evidence was heard in theMagistrate's Court to-day in connec-tion with the case in which the La-bour Department claimed a penally of£.200 from the Seamen's Federation,of New Zealand on a charge of hav-ing incited or instigated an unlawfulstrike. The Department furtherclaimed £100 penalties for allegedbreach of award and for havingtaken proceedings with intent to de-feat certain provisions in the award.The case was heard before Mr. B. C.Cnttcn, S.IL Mr. Berenclscn appenv-ed for the Department and Mr. W. T.Young defended.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ELECTORS OF NEW ZRALAND. ' ji

I take pleasure in giving you-briefly my views on Prohibition in 1America, made from personal observation and constant mingling with 1men and women in all walks of life. . : . |

|] v As President of the largest Central Labour Union in the United I!p States, I am ,in close touch with the wage earners of every trade and !jjj calling. We have had Constitutional Prohibition for over 5 years— |i I say Constitutional Prohibition because in reality we have not had |% Prohibition. II 1| Prohibition has been a total failure, and Volsteadism has,broken 1|i down completely,—this in spite of the fact that the Federal Government, II is spending millions of dollars annually in an effort to enforce the |5 - Eighteenth Amendment, and of the further fact that the several States |\ spend in addition to the Federal Government many millions of dollars. II Prohibition has accomplished intemperance. People who formerly ]|p indulged moderately in light wine and beer have accustomed themselves if\ t° drinking hard liquors and concoctions of all descriptions. This 1'; fact is borne out by the statistics rscantly issued by the Federal IJ Government, showing an increase in deaths from alcoholism and cirrhosis i

of the liver. These statistics show a constant increase in the deaths 1:| from alcoholism sinse 1920, whsa National Constitutional Prohibition I'J became effective. ' I: I '

■" ■ ' '

■ . 1;| Prohibition is unpopular bscausa it runs counter with the ideals §|| of free citizens. ■

(. . 1

i| The fanatical Prohibitionists have laid great stress on the II increased savings since 1920. They do not tell you, however, that thi II increased savings of the wage earners ia by far not on the same ratio 1| as the increased earnings of the whole people. ' If| The anti-Saloon League and fanatical Prohibitionists would lead I| the people of other countries to believe that Prohibition is being Iri rigidly enforced everywhere. Only a few weeks ago an exposure was S| made.m the city of Cincinnati involving 28 Prohibition enforcement 1| officers—who by the way were endorsed by the Anti-Saloon League for II the position of enforcement officers—and some 50 lieutenants, I| detectives and other high officials in the Police Dept. were indicted 1I for accepting graft, protecting bootleggers and narcotic peddlers. !I All of these indicted, with the exception of 11, have pleaded guilty. jJ The Chief Director of the Prohibition force of Ohio, endorsed by the I| Anti-Saloon League for his position, was indicted and was involved in II one of the largest boot-legging scandals, of which there are many, in I| the .great city of Ohio, the home of the Anti-Saloon League. The same I:| conditions prevail in practically every State of the country. 1I In the desperate efforts to preserve Prohibition in America, the II Prohibionists have resorted to changing the Holy Bible, and have II eliminated from it all reference to wine. Wina has been substituted 1J by "raisin cake"; this is, indeed, hypocrisy at its highest. iI Unless our'Constitutional.Prohibition is very shortly amended, II the youth of our nation will suffer as a result of this fanatical iI legislation which brings to the attention of every land the general I{j! disregard for law. ,";. . I

j Photograph copies .of. the statistics I have mentioned in this Ij letter are issued by the Federal Government at Washington, D.C.; theses 1| may be secured by writing to the Dept. of Vital Statistics, Washington, \f ' . .. . ;"_^ _._ . |I ll is ffly earnest hope that the people of other countries of II the world will not allow theiasQlvea to be caught in a similar mess. 1i| ReapeotfulXy yours, jift

Those who suffer from catarrh, ca-tarrhal deafness, or head noises, oftenimagine they may throw off its dreadfuleffects during the warm days, only tofind the first touch of Winter weatheribrings it back with all its former dis- !tressfn] hawking and spitting. Mildweather, however will aid the treatment,and this is an excellent time to thor-oughly cleanse the system of the germs.That catanbal troubles a,re due lo .i'jconstitutional disease, of tho blood, isroudily onderslood when you realize thatany disease germs which have inflamedtho delicate mombrano of the. no?o orthroat:iro likely (/> bo brent hod into theInngs and stomach and llicnco to theentire system by means of tho bloodTo rid yourself of the trouble, you mustremove .the cause.

This being so, much time has beenspent in perfecting a, puve, gentle, yet.effectivetonic that should quickly dispelill] traces of tho catarrhal poison fromthe system.
