BREAKDOWN OFPEACE
VIEWS OF LEAGUE OF -NATIONSUNION
CPEIBB A.BBOCII.TIOX TCUSUX.I
WELLINGTON, September 29.The Dominion council of the New
Zealand League of Nations Unionpassed a resolution stating that it con-siders peace broke down because thereal causes of war were not removedin 1919, It urges that national anarchy-must be replaced by some solid irtter-
| national structure which should have; power to enforce a rule of law overI its members—in short, that national
i sovereignty must be sacrified to someextent to create an effective inter-national authority, if possible cover-ing the civilised world, but at leastincluding Europe.
The union invites the.New ZealandGovernment to use its influence in Im-perial discussions in order that thewar aims may be clearly defined alonglines of its own statement .of Septem-ber. 1936, and developed as may seem Inecessary .in the light of present con- Iditions. • I'

WIDER HEALTHSCHEME
Dr D. G. McMillan’sHope
STATE MATERNITY HOMES
FAVOURED
tfcrom Our Parliamentary Reporter.!
WELLINGTON, September 29.A hope that a solution would be
reached which would make the familydoctor benefit available to the peoplewas expressed by Dr. D. G. McMillan(Government, Dunedin West), speak-ing in the second reading debate onthe Social Security Amendment Billin the House of Representatives to-day.
In the maternity benefits, he said,the medical profession had acceptedthe principle that the service shouldbe freely available to all who desiredit, and that those who did not de-sire it should be at liberty to payprivately. It was essential that peopleshould understand how the maternitybenefits scheme was going to work.There was now no provision for doc-tors to sign a contract if they wishedto give service. Under the bill, in-stead of doctors contracting in theycontracted out, if they wished to.
The amendment assumed that alldoctors would be giving service, andonly if they contracted out wouldthey be able to charge special fees.
In reply to a question by Mr S. G.Holland (Opposition, ChristchurchNorth), Dr. McMillan said that about90 per cent, of the general practitionersdid maternity work, and it was notanticipated that the number who wouldcontract out would be very large. Thelists of those who contracted out wouldbe made public.
“I am sorry that doctors cannot seetheir way clear to agree that if awoman agrees to pay fees herself theywould be the same as the fees paidby the State,” Dr. McMillan said. “Ifthe community knew that the fee wasthe same there would not he theslightest suspicion that a differentstandard of service would be given -
Health in War TimeDr. McMillan said that if a health in-
surance scheme was necessary inpeace time it was, even more neces-sary in war time. . Of the first 5000-odd volunteers for the Special Mili-tary Force who had been examinedmedically, 47 per cent, had been classedas temporarily unfit. They sufferedfrom conditions that wtre capable ofbeing cured, and they would have beenfit if there had been a full healthscheme in operation.
“That is a lesson that should not beforgotten,” he said. “Those figures havegiven us an insight into the state ofhealth of the people of the community.Probably half of that number wereclassed as temporarily unfit because ofdental defects, but that is really medi-cal. Dental disease needs to be curedbecause it is the cause of ill-health.”
Since the inauguration of thematernity benefits, many maternityhomes had increased their fees, andsome of the increases had been un-reasonable. It was another thing todevise a fair and equitable method ofcontrolling, them. He believed in Statematernity homes, and did not thinkthe country would ever get a servicethat was completely satisfactory tomothers until there were Statematernity homes or wards in allcentres.
HOSPITAL FOR N.Z.SOLDIERS
APPRECIATION OF LORDBLEDISLOE’S OFFER
(press association telegram.)
WELLINGTON. September 29.Lord Bledisloe, former Governor-

LAKESIDE TO JOINLEESTON
HOUSEHOLDERS ADHERE TO
DECISION
By 40 votes to six, the householdersof theLakeside School district decided,at a public meeting, to adhere to thedecision mkde on August 3 to havetheir school consolidated with Leeston.
Mr H. D. Marshall, chairman of theschool committee, who presided, ex-plained that another meeting ofhouse-holders had been called at the sug-gestion of the Canterbury EducationBoard, because the department wasnot prepared to accept the bus routesubmitted on behalf of the house-holders, and was insisting on a modi-fication. At the meeting on August 3they had been led to believe by mem-bers of the Education Board that abus service would be provided forLakeside similar to those operatingin other parts of the district. Theboard’s suggestion was that a postalballot should be taken.
It was explained that the curtailedservice was. partly the outcome of adesire to conserve petrol supplies andpartly to avoid affecting the roll num-bers of other schools.
After a good deal of discussion, itwas decided to accept the modifiedservice, but to ask that a small ex-tension of about two miles should bemade as soon as possible.
The chairman explained that therewould now be no need to take afurther ballot.

At the meeting of the AkaroaBorough Council on Wednesday even-ing, Cr. W. W.

How to obtain protection againstsuffering and illness? That is the question. 'ASPRO'is the answer. It is the greatest protector becauseof its many medicinal and antiseptic qualities. For
instance, after ingestion in the system, 'ASPRO' is agermicide or germ destroyer. It is also a solvent ofuric acid which is considered by many authorities to be
the main cause of rheumatism. Furthermore 'ASPRO' is ananti-pyretic or fever-reducer. Then, again, 'ASPRO' tablets hove
wonderful powers of banishing pain by a soothing process. Used asa gargle 'ASPRO' is wonderfully effective, banishing sore throats and prevent-ing infection. It is a very important fact that 'ASPRO' has all these remarkablehealing qualities yet it does not harm the heart or cause gastric upset.

HELPING THE OLD
: Lady Gay had such a pleasant surprise last week. A member of the Sunflower Clubcalled at “The Press Ship,” and heard all about our scheme for providing gifts and littlecomforts for the old people of Christchurch at Christmas. So, when the club heard too,they decided to .hand the £1 they had’to Lady Gay for this work.
Isn't that encouragingf Lady Gay put on two expensive smiles, most expensive smilesboth—-when she heard of it. Such a number of gifts that £1 will buy, all wrapped up daintily,and delivered with round, plump Christmas puddings on Christmas Eve.
For we must not neglect our old-people whatever happens. There is much to do-, andmany calls, but our particular friends must not wait in vain. We couldn't possibly do that.
Send little gifts for little ladies or old men, or send what you raise in the way of moneyto Lady Gay, and she will purchase what is needed. Already there is quite a pile of pre-sents, and cash for: gifts and Christmas puddings.
The young should always think of the old. It's a big work, girls and boys.■. LADY GAY. '

,THE FLOODDuring last winter we had a very
severe; flood which caused, muchdamage. ,
One day daddy went with anotherman to draft some sheep at purfarm. Soon after starting out theyheard a loud boom, but thinkingit was thunder they went on withtheir work.
' Soon the rain came down in tor-rents, the creek swiftly' overflowed,and in the yards the water was soonup to the sheeps’ backs. The mensaid: “It is a cloudburst."
Although the rain soon ceasedthere were many crops flooded out.The farmers resowed the crops butthey were again flooded. out abouta month later. These floods causeda great shortage,of winter feed forthe animals this year.
During the first flood a huge wil-low tree , was ■ carried two chainsdown a creek, where it is now grow-ing as if it had always been there.A little distance up the creek theremaining roots, and a big hollowwhere the tree used to grow, canbe seen.

THE ALP JORNEY
While it. was still pitch-dark, along line of goals, cows, calvespigs, and gaily dressed men , leftUncle Jacob’s house in the valley.Men and animals were going tothe mountains for the summer.
If it had been daylight, you couldhave seen Kobi, the herdboy, atthe head of the procession, tryingto keep up with'-five lively goats.Behind him walked Uli. Uli wasthe best, yodeler • in the . jvholecountryside. He went with UncleJacob’s herd of cows every year.He loved to sing and show off hisfine voice as he walked throughthe villages. Everybody admiredhim. , ~ ,
Three broad brown cows ploddedin the dust behind Uli. Each cowwore a great heavy bell aroundher neck. Uncle Jacob, who wasKobi’s uncle, always picked hisolder and wiser cows to carry , thethree fine big bells, for they hadbeen to the mountains before. Be-hind them tramped calves, heifers,and cows. Blass, the; herd dog,barked and nipped at their heels,helping all he could.
.
Fritz, the bull, came proudly be-hind the heifers, calves, and cows.He looked very , stylish as_hepranced along, for he wore a finehat on his head that Kobi had madefor him. It was a wooden milk-stool, covered with flowers. Fritzalso had a ring in his irose, for hewas very strong and never good,and his herder .had all he coulddo to keep him in line.
Very far behind the cows andcalves creaked the loaded waggon.It was driven-by Uncle Jacob him-self It was so covered with flowersthat you could hardly see thewooden milking stools and churnsinside. Only the great coppercheese kettle stood out on top.shining and bright.
And still farther behind the pro-cession, at the very end, straggleda mother pig and her. 10 babies.They Were lazy and fat, and Franz,the swineherd, switched their curlylittle tails, but still they did notkeen up with the others.
Meanwhile Kobi, at the veryfront, ran with his goats: throughthe dark night. The sky was likethe inside of a big grey cup withsilver stars pasted inside. Kobi
to the tolling of the great
bells. They did not ring just alike,for they were not all the same■size. • “Boom, boom, boom,” tolledone. “Bam, bam, bam,” tolledanother. “Bim, bim, bim,” tolledthe third as the cows Walkedthrough the dust. The bells wereso > long' they almost touched theroad as they swung back and forth.
Then all at once Kobi heard Ulibegin to sing in his high-pitchedvoice. When he had sung only afew notes, the two herders walk-ing behind him joined in in alower key. The bells tolled stilldeeper. It was so strange to Kobi,to hear the music flowing out. intothe deep night, that little shiversof happiness ran up and down hisback. He wag too excited to feeltired, though he had slept onlythree hours before they left UncleJacob’s house at midnight.
Suddenly Kobi saw dark housesloom up on either side of him.They were entering a village. Heheard shutters bang open and sawlights, go on in the dark houses.People called from their windows.“Yoo—hoo—000—00—O."
Kobi thought the singing soundedvery beautiful there in the middleof the night. Then one of thevillagers yelled down, in a loud,angry voice, “Why don’t you singsomething somebody likes?” Therewas more yelling from other win-dows. .
Kobi wondered why the villagersteased Uli like that. Everybodyknew that Uli was the best yodelerin the whole valley. But Kobi re-membered that grandfather oncehad told him that when these ■ vil-lagers admired and liked' some-thing, they made fffh of it. Thatwas their idea of humour. Sothey were really enjoying the sing-ing- after all.
The village was so small thatKobi was soon walking with hisgoats in the country again. Hesmelled flowers and newly-cut hay.The grey cup of the sky waschanging to pink.. The silver starshad faded away. A cock crowed.Dawn was coming.
Then, as the road turned, Kobisaw the great mountains, the Alps,in the first rays of the. sun.
"Uli, Uli, look at the mountains.They look as if they were on fire,he called back to; the singer.
As ' the morning advanced theroad led through another village,said Kobi saw that everybody was
up and at work. He smelled freshrolls as he passed a baker’s shop.The odour of coffee drifted fromkitchen windows. Women werescrubbing the steps of' their neathouses. Feather beds were stuffedin upper ‘windows to catch theclean warm sun.
Uli yodeled and vodeled. Every-body stopped work to listen. Thepeople nudged one another, point-ing to Uncle Jacob’s well-keptshining cows; the gay costumes ofthe herders; the great boomingcopper bells with the fine braidedlearner collars. Kobi walked with
his' head up. He "washimself; with his rea vosmg9Rß|bright yellow pants, and thevDjjp§g|jleather braces oyer his.-. shoawpMwith the brass cowsbreastplate. He was .agoing to the Alps, and all SwSroboys wanted to be herdboysmjgEgmountains. , . v ‘^4ss|PsH' A jester called, “Your

WAR VETERANSON PARADE
RESERVISTS MARCHTHROUGH CITY
ROLL CALL OF 326
Veterans of the Great War who havevolunteered to serye again the coun-try in an emergency paraded throughthe city streets last night. They wereClass II of the National Reserve.Thousands saw the soldiers who havetestified their willingness to servetheir King and country if the callshould be made on them, on themarch.
Three hundred reservists and 26officers assembled at King EdwardBarracks. They were all in civilianclothes. Headed by four pipe bands—
th Highland, Scottish Society, City ofChristchurch, and St. Andrew’s College—and the Woolston Brass Band, thereservists marched out of King Ed-ward Barracks under the command. ofColonel H. C. Hurst. Men had cometo the city specially for the paradefrom Belfast, Kaiapoi, and NewBrighton. %
■ From 21 to 25 years have passedsince the men saw active service, yetthere was zest and sprightliness intheir marching to attract the admira-tion of the public who lined all thestreets along which the reservistsparaded. The bearing of the men wasexcellent. Of their physical fitness, nojudgment could be passed, except thatbased on the results of the medicalexaminations of the reservists calledup for special duty at the outbreak ofthe war. Of the many men posted tohome defence duty, only one wasfound to be physically unfit.
Much interest was taken, in theparade. The Bridge of Remembrancewas one of the favoured positions forspectators and an hour before theparade crossed the bridge all vantagepoints were taken.
Both the Cathedral footpath and thetramway safety zone were packedwhen at 8 o’clock the parade turnedinto Colombo street from Armaghstreet. When the routfe behind theCathedral was taken, there was a rushof many hundreds across the Cathe-dral grounds.
Children who were not born tillsome years after the war saw theirfathers on parade. “There’s dad—andhe’s leading,’’ exclaimed one excitedboy at a corner of the Square. Andas his father led his squad past, theboy gave a familiar whistle, whichfather answered with a smart salute.The spirit of pride in having a closerelative in the army has apparentlynot faded out with the passing of theyears.
“WET” CANTEENSAT CAMP
PROTEST BY METHODISTCHURCH
“HOPE THAT WISE COUNSELSWILL PREVAIL”
An emphatic protest against the pro-posal to establish “wet” canteens inNew Zealand military camps was madeby the North Canterbury district exe-cutive of the Methodist Church at itsmeeting this week. .
A statement made by the meetingsaid:
“We are aware that no decision hasyet bifen reached ,in the ReturnedSoldiers’ Association on these proposalsof the Dominion executive and wehope that wise counsels will yet pre-vail. But being convinced that theestablishment of ‘wet’ canteens wouldcreate far. more problems than itwould solve, and in view of the pro-nouncements of British statesmen ofthe gravity of the issues, the follow-ing resolution was unanimously car-ried: ‘That we enter an emphatic pro-test against the proposal to establish“wet” canteens in New Zealand’s mili-tary encampments.* ”

HABIT OF GRASSGRUB
*
IRRIGATION PROVES ITSVALUE
INFESTATION 75 PER CENT.ON UNWATERED LAND
Evidence of the havoc wrought bythe grass grub on unwatered land,compared with irrigated areas, wasseen by members of the AshburtonCounty Council yesterday, when theyvisited some irrigation experimentalplots on Mr W. R. Hammond’s pro-perty at Winchmore.
Irrigated strips carried luxuriousgrowth, but on the unwatered stripsthere' was very little grass and thegrub had done much damage. It wasstated that experts had estimated in-festation on unwatered areas to be 75per cent., and on irrigated land only5 per cent.
Mr T. G. Beck, irrigation engineerin Canterbury, said that it had beenestimated that where the grub haddone great damage, the cost of rehabil-itating the land would be £4 5s anacre, and this did not cover the lossof usage of the land in the meantime.
Councillors were impressed with thisevidence of the value of irrigation andagreed that the cost of preparing theground for it was well worth while.

Students, who are called up arestrongly advised to take advantage ofthis possibility as even although theirstudies have been prejudicially affectedtheir examination work will then berecorded.

MAORIS AND THE WARTO THE EDITOR Of THE PRESS.
Sir,—In your issue of yesterday 1notice your correspondent, “Maori,dictating to Mr Te Ari Pitama abouta speech delivered by him at Aro-whenua Pa, Temuka, recently regard-ing Maoris and the war. ,
It seems a pity that the whole ofthis speech was not fully reported, be-cause it would afford not only yourcorrespondent but those who would belikely to follow up this argument anopportunity of expressing their views.
It is interesting to note, however,that after the funeral of the late MrT.- W. Ratana this matter was fullydiscussed by representatives of alltribes, together with the four Maorimembers of Parliament, who receivedtheir full share of abuse for makingunlimited offers without first obtain-ing the feeling of the people. This canbe taken as the general attitude ofthe Maoris in the event of conscriptionbeing enforced, and a full confirmationof what was expressed by Mr Te AnPitama at Arowhenua.
, ,.
It must be clearly understood thatthe Maoris are not opposing the volun-tary system; indeed, the South IslandMaoris have already repeated theirperformance of the last war by con-tributing more in proportion than anyother tribes, and it must be remem-bered, too, that people at a time likethr are apt to abuse the right of otherpeople’s expression of opinion, whetherright or wrong. Some of us are in-clined to be 1 . rath than to haveconvictions of our own; indeed, weare already in the stage of repeatingthe white feather episodes of 25 yearsago—a disgrace to the primitive age.
My advice to your correspondent,“Maori.” or any other who wishes toassociate himself with this subject isto keep clear of abuse and cheapnotoriety.—Yours, etc., J. MORGAN.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYERro rae imioa or the chess.
* Sir,—Next Sunday is being observedthroughout New Zealand as a day ofprayer. The question arises, “Whatmay we expect from such an observ-ance?” It goes without saying thatreligion holds out no hope except tothose who are truly repentant, and re-pentance is not such an easy matteras the popular and easy-going religionof the time would have us suppose.As a corrective to this frame of mind,let us consider the following passagefrom Bunyan’s "Holy War.” The in-habitants of Mansoul had offendedtheir rightful prince, who had for atime left them to their own devices.After suffering various calamities, theysend out their chief citizen to theprince’s camp.
“But the prince would not comedown, nor admit that the gate shouldbe opened to him, but sent him ananswer to this effect, ‘They haveturned their back upon me and nottheir face, but now in the time oftheir trouble they say to me arise andsave us. But can they not now go toMr Carnal Security, to whom theywent when they turned their back up-on me, and make him their leader,their lord, and their protector. Whynow in their trouble do they visit me,since in their prosperity they wentastray?’ ”
We boast about what we have donein New Zealand during the last hun-dred years, about our high standardof living and so on. But ask anyclergyman who is going about amongall sorts and conditions of the peopleand he will tell you that what is ur-gently needed is not a higher standardof living but a higher standard of life.—Yours, etc.,

PETROL RESTRICTIONSTO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.
Sir,—Listening in to Parliament lastevening. I was amaked to hear certainmembers adversely criticise the recentpetrol restrictions. They were speak-ing so they said, for those living inthe country.
My home is in the country. Wohave no passenger train service andlive six miles from the nearest busroute. Since the outbreak of war Ihave attended Red Cross meetings, aWomen’s Institute meeting, and ameeting of the Women’s Division ofthe Farmers’ Union. Not Once haveI heard a complaint about the petrolrestrictions. The subject was dis-cussed. but we all felt that in com-parison with those whose homes are inthe war area we are very lucky in-deed. We are not grouching and weare, ready to do.our bit, if it is onlyto! economise.: N°t so many cars attend the afore-mentioned meetings, but those carswhich do go are loaded, and differentowners take a turn at being neigh-bourlv. Any car owner who., of ne-cessity. had to make a long journeywas not refused petrol.

In conclusion, may I say that fight-ing and flag-flying are, not the onlyways of showing patriotism,—Youra.etc

NO. 1 FIELD PUNISHMENTTO THE EDITOR OF TUB PRESS.
Sir,—l think few people can haveread without profound approval of iheAuckland Returned Soldiers’ Associa-tion’s efforts for the abolition of thedeath penalty in the army. I couldwish they had gone further and .askedfor some assurance that No. 1 FieldPunishment, which was abolished afterthe last war, will never be reintro-duced. I very much fear that unlesssuch an assurance is forthcoming fromthe Government it will be reinstated.
Probably not many people know indetail what that punishment was like.I do know. From one who survived it.And I say deliberately I would infi-nitely prefer death to No. 1 Field Pun-ishment.—Yours, etc.,

PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEESTO THE EDITOR OT THE PRESS.
Sir,—iThere seem to be a lot of per-sons who think that the men on publicworks have no Ti«*ht to live. If thereis a job ahead that nobody wants cer-tain people want the public works manto be hustled into it. One wouldthink by reading "The Press.” thatemployers want all works mento be thrown on the swag so that theycan have their way with them.
In my opinion there a.e son e thingsIn life that the public works men arcentitled to. We can mention honesttreatment as among the minor onesof these things. If transfers becomenecessary and are effected, it Is up tothe Government to see that these menreally get the minimum wage, pro-viding that their union ticket bearsthe correct date. ,
It seems that almost all sections ofthe community, such as farmers. a£"countants. etc., except the public worksmen. have a right to leave it to theother fellow.—Yours, etc..

NO. 13 SCHEMETO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.
Sir,—l work \n a district, vnthere are two freezing works andwhere work is available for all the re-sidents who are willing to work, butthere are several young men here whohave been on No. 13 scheme since itstarted. Some have married, are now.rearing families, and are still on thescheme. These men can be seen Kav-ins home after 8 o’clock and alwaysreturn before 3.30 in the afternoon;for this they receive 18s. but in wetweather they do not work at all, andare paid just the same. Surely realwork could be found for these men inmilitary camps or public works.
The same remarks apply NewBrighton, where ther i are probably 100simply idling away their time at theexpei.se of the already overburdenedtaxpayer. No. 13 scheme has attracteda body of wasters who will never doan honest day's work unless there is a
. drastic change in the policy of thepresent Government: and the presenttime seems, opportune for the peopleto demand that this scheme should becompletely wiped out.—Yours, etc -

AIMS OF SCOUTMOVEMENT
�“NOT A MILITARY
ORGANISATION”
STATEMENT BY CHIEFCOMMISSIONER-
[XHE PRESS Special Service.]
WELLINGTON, September 29.“Some years ago scouting was
charged on frequent occasions withbeing a military organisation, and itsleaders with forming a junior army,”said Dominion Chief Commissioner H.Christie at the annual meeting of theBoy Scouts’ Association of New Zea-land to-day. “We have always pro-tested that we are not -military andwe still maintain that there is noth-ing and never has been anything ofa militaristic nature in scouting. Oneof the main objects is to (Ssveloppeace and goodwill. .
“While this is all correct, we arefully aware of the fact that if it everbecame necessary for a boy to defendhis native land or to take up armsin a just cause he would be able to doit infinitely better if he had receiveda scout training. Here then, lies theneed for increasing our efforts. Whoknows where our boys may be beforethis present war is finished? Thescout movement has something foreach lad, whatever the future mayhave in store.
“There is training in self-sufficiencyand leadership—qualities which will bevery much in demand in the dayswhich lie ahead. In addition, ’there istraining in decency and cleanliness ofbody and mind. We know only toowell how the ravages of war timebring disease and death to many whodo not live clean lives. Moreover,scouting tends to give a boy a correctmental outlook—a capacity for judg-ing true values. Superimposed uponall this is the inculcation of a simplefaith in God based upon the scouts’promise that he will do his best todo his duty to God. This is a sheetanchor in the stormy seas of lifewhich beset our boys whether in peaceor in war.
“At a time such as this, all decentcitizens who cannot engage in activeservice are’ considering what may bedone by them to help the nation. Therearc certainly many avenues open fornational service. One of the utmostimportance is that there are troops ofBoy Scouts to maintain throughoutthe Dominion. As our scoutmastersare among the finest young men ofthe land it is natural that they shouldbe involved in some form or othgrof war service. We send out a callto any who, can do so. older men,old scouts, committeemen, to come andhelp us maintain this work and toorepare the boys for whatever maylie ahead, whether it be in peace orin war. I aopeal to all commissionersto bring before district committees asquickly as possible the scheme for na-tional emergency organisation issuedby the Dominion Headquarters Com-missioner in Charge.
“At this time our hearts go out tothe lads of our Empire who must bearthe brunt of war- and its horrors. We.as an organisation, desire to servethem to the utmost of our capacityand ability.”

NAVY LEAGUE
“MEMBERS’ WORK NOTFINISHED”
VIEWS OF PRESIDENT
Although the league’s peace-timeactivities were mainly to emphasisethe necessity for a strong British Navy
as the Empire’s safeguard, now theEmpire was at war, and the navy wastremendously strong, members neednot consider their work had finished,srid the president, Mr T. M. Charters,
at the monthly meeting of the Canter-bury branch of the Navy League. \
In spite of the criticism levelled atthe league by pacifist organisations,the position to-day was ample evidencethat the league’s principles were sound.
Mentioning the work of the sea cadetcorps over a period of years. Mr Char-ters reminded the meeting that manyformer cadets were now at sea in theRoyal Navy, the Royal Naval Reserve,and the Merchant Navy. “This speaksvolumes for the training given byLieutenant-Commander R. C. E. Hard-ing. and Lieu'enant E, Collins D.S.M.,and the other officers,” he said. Itwas the intention of the league to fos-ter the sea cadet training and the re-cent acquisition of a hall was alreadyproving a step in the right direction.Should the war be prolonged, whoknew but that the cadets at presentbeing trained might not be used in thesea services to fill gaps?” , .
The women’s auxiliary was maxinga good effort to assist with patrioticwork, and its services had been un-reservedly offered to the Mayor ofChristchurch. In addition, it wouldcontinue to assist the sea cadet corps.The junior women had taken’up RedCross work with enthusiasm and Zjhad recently passed the examinationfor V.A.D. work, ,
,
Arrangements arc being made to co-operate with the sea cadet branch in
England as reciuested by the head officein London, with a view to recei/mgrecognition of the local corps by theAdmiralty.

Three of these letters de-clare without qualification that theDaventry news broadcasts should beless frequent, the suggested numberbeing two a day at the most. A mildseasonal ague kept me indoors fora couple of days during the weekand I listened dutifully to four over-seas news broadcasts, but before Iwent to bed Icould chant most of theinformation as a duet with the an-nouncer. From Thursday eveninglast the National Broadcasting Ser-vice cut out the 7.30 news bulletinand I agree that others should go.Two of these rebroadcSsts from Lon-don should be enough- Of course,there would be no bar to specialannouncements if matters of ex-treme importance suddenly becameavailable. For my own part I ampretty tired of the radio war and Ibelieve the broadcasting authoritieswould be doing a genuine service tothe country if they set about moreresolutely than ever before to giveradio listeners the diversion every-body needs&o badly in these times.We should be given lots and lots ofpleasant surprises through constantlychanging radio diet.
When I ask for diversion I don’twant any misunderstanding: I amnot suggesting a remorseless bar-rage of "music, mirth and melody.”I would like to see something on ahigher plane, for I must repeal whatI have often said before, that inspite of the professions of theNational Broadcasting Service thereare far too many concessions madeto the baser tastes of listeners. Thesupposedly small audience of thosecaring for better things is persist-ently ignored once one exceptsmusic. The musical standard of thenational programmes is good. I ad-mit that much without pressure.Now, here is an exanfple of some-thing I would like to hear, and I’msure it would give pleasure to manyother listeners. This year the Brit-ish Broadcasting Corporation madedramatic versions for broadcastingof two of Sir Max Beerbohm’sstories from his volume "SevenMen.” Last month "Enoch Soarnes”was produced, and in April, therewas “Savonaroli* Brown.” An Eng-lish critic said that both these pro-ductions preserved the subtleties ofBeerbohm’s writing and the deli-cate edge of hie satire. Recently wehave been having some of theseBritish Broadcasting Corporationprogramme features in New Zea-land, so they can be had withoutdifficulty. In passing I may say thatI heard “The Town Mouse and theCountry Mouse” last Tuesday, andI did not care for it much. It wasnoisy and I found the squeaky voiceshard to follow. But that’s by theway. My point is simply this; if thepopular features are obtainable,others which are thought to appealto a narrower audience could be gottoo. The National BroadcastingService ought not be frightened tobreak away from the tyranny ofmediocre taste. Good things arecertain to reach a large audience.The film is the nearest rival to radioas an entertainment medium in thesedays, but it has been found that ahigh quality film draws an audiencejust as certainly as a popular poorgrade one. But change, change andexperiment are what we want now.
Women as ChoosersTwo or three thoughts are sug-
gested by the statements of ColonelG. Ozanne, vice-chairman of theBritish Radio Manufacturers’ Asso-ciation, at the Olympia Radio Show,which was held from August 23 toSeptember 2. Colonel Ozannestrongly opposes the use of radio asthe provider of background noisesfor all sorts of home activities.“Choose your programmes,” he said,“then sit down to enjoy them.”That’s as it should be, but I’mafraid not one listener in a dozenapproaches radio in that way. Inthe last year or two I have given anumber of persons coming into myhome full raidio liberties and theyseemed quite happy to receive atmoderate blast the complete outputof one station, and it was almostinvariably a station I had long sincegiven up listening to myself. If onejjad the Lener String Quartet quar-tered in one’s home, one would notencourage those brilliant fellows tostrum through their repertoire dayand night, I know Fd soon be tell-ing them to give the catgut a rest,
A more debatable matter isColonel Ozanne’s suggestion thatthe women of the house should bethe radio dictators. “Wireless isnow a domestic utility,” he de-clared, “and I think it should belooked after and controlled by thewives and mothers. Usually theyhave the leisure to choose pro-grammes for the evening's enter-tainment.” Leaving aside the tick-lish question of leisure, I think thechoice of programme should be ajoint responsibility. If the womenchose J suppose those vicarious cavemen, the wrestling “fans,” wouldgo on short commons.
One of the most unhappy andembarrassing evenings I ever spentwas in a seaside town “somewherein England,” as the jargon of theday goes. A husband and wifewere combing Europe for my plea-sure, but each one had- differentideas concerning what would enter-tain me. We were chasing roundfrom a symphony in Vienna to aconcerto in Berlin; from a dancebroadcast in London to somethingor.other in Seville. Perhaps, afterall, it would have been better if thewoman of the house had done theselecting unaided. I present ColonelOzanne'e statement in the hope thatit will excite domestic controversy.I’m all right. I can get what Iwant on the radio if I whimper per-sistently enough for it.
Timely Talks and MusicFor a long time I have felt it
would be a good IdoJf to have talkson Saturday or Sunday, evenings,One may be all wrong, but I thinkpeople would he raithcr more recep-tive. at the week-end. Any way,the National Broadcasting Service
is taking a chance. This evening at3YA Mr Leicester Webb will haveas his subject “A Run Through Po-lish History,”/ and next Saturday hewill give a second section of thistalk. Professor F. L, G, Wood, onMonday evening, will give the sec-ond of two talks from 2YA on “ThePoles and Their Country.” Relatedtalks such as these by ProfessorWood and Mr Webb are useful atthis time, and the broadcastingauthorities should attempt more top-ical talks pn subjects In which lis-teners must be deeply interested;and there should be system in theway they are arranged. The onlydampening comment I would like tomake is that the Poles have beenin the news for several weeks now;they have, in sad fact, been in itlong enough to be out of it again.The National Broadcasting Servicemight have got off the mark morepromptly.
To-morrow evening IYA willbroadcast “Victoria and Disraeli,”scenes from the life of Queen Vic-toria, written specially for the radioby the New Zealand author, HectorBolitho. Mr Bolitho has made rathera specialty of Royalty. This playwas broadcast from Daventry manymonths ago, but it should be inter-esting to bear the National Broad-casting Service version.
Some excellent English musicwill be featured on 2YA’s. pro-gramme to-morrow evening. Therewill be Elgar’s Concerto for Violon-cello and Orchestra, and “A Lon-don Symphony,” by Vaughan Wil-liams.
Those who hope for novelty mayfind it next Friday, when 3YA willbroadcast what is described as a“dramatised talk” in a series gener-ally titled “Some Great WomenTreated Lightly.” It is superfluousto say that these women are dead,otherwise they would not be treatedthat way, Friday’s subject is SarahSiddons. If the series is managedwell it should be worth hearingthrough.
On Saturday Vincent Aspey. oneof New Zealand’s really accom-plished violinists, will eive a shortrecital from JYA, Mr Asoey isheard fairly often in ensembles,butall too rarely as a soloist.

ADDINGTONMARKET
ANOTHER SMALL ENTRY
DIFFICULTIES OF BEEF SALE
Short entries of fat stock continueat Addington, and prices are naturallymoving upwards. In both sheep andcattle the pennings on Wednesday werewell below normal for this time of theyear, particularly of fat cattle. ■ Thefat sheep market improved from theoutset, and the insufficiency caused asubstantial advance over the final alleyoffered. The advance over the wholemarket ranged from Is to 4s hj nead.so that butchers who secured theirsupplies early in the sale were lucky
The sale in the final stages was onlya degree lower than the best sale ofthe year. Under the conditions pre-vailing, however, there was a gooddeal of irregularity, butchers andothers interested being naturally con.cemed that prices should riot soar un-duly, a difficult job when there is arestricted supply for too many buyersMedium wethers with not a great dealof condition on them, were in briskdemand, and over the final stages agood draft of ewes from the south-created strenuous competition. Thefact that 154 of them averaged 40s ahead indicated the high standard.Naturally they were big framed Rom-neys carrying heavy fleeces.
The fobowing is a comparison ofvalues with those of the correspondingsale last year, which shows the solidprices butchers have now to pay formutton compared with 12 months ago;

WHEAT NEEDS
THE CHANGED CONDITIONS
NEW ZEALAND’S NEEDS
The advent of war has caused anentire reversal of the wheat policy ofall exporting countries. Before theo break every one of them was at-tempting to solve the problem of find-ing an outlet for unwanted surpluswheat. Most of the- European countries,either intent on war or faced with thenecessity of providing against it, de-veloped their local production to apoint that seriously reduced theirpeace time import needs. The war hasswung the barometer completely theother way—nearly every country wantswheat to help carry on the struggle.The apparently unsolvable problems ofwheat marketing disappeared in thebig countries almost in a day.
In Australia all the proposals of theGovernmentand the persuasive powerso* farm leaders were devoted recentlyto reducing the wheat acreage, as noschemeput forward promised to allev-iate the farmers’ difficulties to anyextent except at the expense of a hugeGovernment subsidy which the countryas a whole was not prepared to under-take. The agitation possibly achievedsome result, for the estimated area forthe current season is smaller than forsome yeax-s, comprising 13,500,000 acrescompared with 14,224,000 last year andan average of 13,330,000 acres overthe last 10 years. The troubles of theindustry have been relieved—at leasttemporarily—by the acquisition oftfxe sui-plus crop for the British Gov-ernment ror war purposes. And theBritish Government is not a meanbuyer.
The following table shows the im-mensity of Australian wheat produc-tion, which also indicates the effecton the acreage of the low prices of afew years ago.
Canadian SolutionThe handling of the Canadian wheat
problem has threatened at times towreck political parties. Unlike Aus-tralia,however, where the position hadbeen reached two months ago that noagreement could be come to for as-sisting the growers, Canada adopted adefinite policy, probably since aban-doned in accordance with the ImperialGovernment's desire to purchase allEmpire surplus products. The recentCanadian legislation provided that theWheat Board would take only 5000bushels from any single grower at theguaranteed initial price of 2s lid atgrowing centres. Any wheat in excesso* 5000 bushels would be absorbed bypools, on the basis of an initial pay-ment of 2s 6d a bushel. The poolswete guaranteed against loss in payingthis initial price .to growers under aFederal Act.
Early in August a change in theGovernment wheat policy was an-nounced by the United States Secre-tary of Agriculture, whereby the Gov-ernment would no longer, be a pur-chaser of. wheat for export on the openmarket. It was proposed that the ex-port business in wheat should be left inthe hands of the trade, but that a sub-sidy would be granted by the Govern-ment to exporters to enable them tocompete in the international market.Subsidy payments were due to com-mence on August 19. Whether it willbe necessary for this subsidy to be ap-plied is dependent on how the waraffects prices abroad.
New Zealand NeedsUnder the stern necessities of war
governments cannot nurse any indus-try too fondly. A few of the pricesruling in other countries are informa-tive and provide a lesson for the Do-minion. It does not take muchimagination to realise that there mustnot be a “fall down” in the wheat areai tills Ss ason. A minimum ’ crop of10.000. bushels is necessary to pre-vent this, a bushelage which has beenexceeded many times in the past whenthe price was lower and when therewas not the same urgency to grow thecrop. It may be argued that New Zea-land -is as suitable for wheat produc-tion as the United Kingdom, althoughthe tillable area may be much less, yetthe United Kingdom last season grew56.000. bushels, and in the precedingyear 69,000,000 bushels. The 10,000,000to 12,000,000 bushels required in theDominion do hot appear to be an in-superable objective in comparison.
Reports of lambing percentages onthe plains indicate that-the crop thisseason may be lower than normal.Fewer twins are appearing, andwhere they have appeared there is agreater tendency for one to succumb.The rough weather in the first sixweeks of lambin took some toll. Thescarcity of young grass for the ewesis also a subject of comment, and fromthe, present appearances first draftswill' not be so numerous, or as largeas those of last year. However, abig body of lambs has not been tailedyet, and as the later arrivals are ap-pearing under better conditions, someof the leeway may be recovered.
A war cablegram in a Sydney paperlast week stated that the Soviet isrushing 3000 “actors” to the occupiedterritories of Poland. This appar-ently was not a “happiness” stunt, ac-cording to Russian ideas, or a methodof taking the minds of the Poles offthe ravaging of their • country and theshooting of their leading people. Itonly meant that 3000 tractors werebeing rushed to the conquered coun-try to develop agriculture on Sovietlines.
NOTES BY THEWAY
INVERNESS FAVOURITE
The success of the new potatovariety, Inverness Favourite, men-tioned in a recent issue as yield-ing better than any of the well-known varieties in last season’s un-favourableconditions, has drawn theattention of growers to this com-paratively new arrive]. The FieldsDivision of the Department of Agri-culture commenced the certificationof the vai'iety about three yearsago,and results have shown that it is eheavy yielder, in the uncertified aswell as the certified crops, and wasparticularly free of virus disease.The potato is white, and is similar inshape to the old Up-to-Date, al-though the eye is not so deep.Potato varieties come and go, al-though a few survive for lengthyperiods, and from the informationavailable it, would seem that Inver-ness Favourite will be one. of thelong livers.
The annual return of yields forthe last year, published the otherday, shows that the uncertified re-turn of Inverness Favourite wasmuch the largest of any of thevarieties, being 7.37 tons an acre.That the returns were not restrictedto one or two localities is indicatedby the fact that slightly more than600 acres of the variety were grown.In the certified listings the varietywas third in yield to two compara-tively small crops in Arran Chiefand ’lron Duke, the figures of thethree in order being 7.59 tons anacre, 7.24, and 7.05. The figures ofthe new variety are impressive whencompared with the average yield ofall potatoes, certified and uncerti-fied, of 4.86 tons an acre. The dif-ference is approximately 50 percent, in its favour. It is not ah earlypotato, and there has been an im-proving demand for seed for maincrop purposes.
AUSTRALIAN WHEATPURCHASE
Uncertainty is developing in Aus-tralian wheat circles concerning themethod of disposing of the season’scrop, the surplus of which it wasstated shortly after the war broke outwas to be bought for the British Gov-ernment. The original ' announce-ment was that the Federal Govern-ment would acquire all wheat in Aus-tralia with the exception of thatowned and stored by farmers on theirfarms. Paymept of an advance ofpossibly Is a bushel was to be madeimmediately on acquisition, and thestocks were to be pooled and sold atthe best possible rates. Final pay-ment would be made after disposalof the supplies, which have been esti-mated to amount to about 45,000.000bushels. The Prime Minister an-nounced the appointment of a wheatboard to control the business, con-sisting of nine members, each stateto have a committee of five membersto work under the board.
This definite pronouncement stop-ped all trade in wheat except that forimmediate domestic needs. After thelapse of a fortnight a statement wasissued to the effect that “the organisa-tions concerned had decided for thepresent- to leave the ordinary courseof the wheat trade undisturbed exceptwhere a special position exists.” Sucha position is understood to exist in thetwo states, of Western and South Aus-tralia. However, the result has beenthat farmers have been deprived ofthe improving prices during the fort-night, and there is some strong critic-ism of the position.
It is believed in respect of each oftllC primary products of the Common-wealth which is to be secured by theImperial authorities in some way oranother that a system is to operatewhich will give growers a shareof any profits. This aspect was sug-gested to the wool conference, whichhas been for some time deliberatingon the method of the disposal andthe price. At all events it would seemthat a direct sale of neither wheat norwool is to be made to the Imperialauthorities.
N.Z. PRICES- . »
JThe position in Australia raises thequestion of' the method whereby theDominion’s export will be acquired bythe lipped®! Government. It has fre-quently been stated that the BritishGovernment is not to be exploited, andthat there is to be no profiteering.Profiteering and exploitation are mat-ters of degree. Valuable as suchterms are in a hustings campaign,there is no room for them in discus-sions on a business deal, such as thesale of our produce to the Old Coun-try. • The dairy industry was: insolv-ent last year to the estimated extentof £2,000,000, based on the proposedGovernment subsidising of the dairyaccount, and this sum fell short bynearly another £1,000.000 of the sum
• recommended by the special commit-tee as necessary to .put the dairy in-dustry in a solvent position. Theprovision of these moneys in any ar-rangement made with the ImperialGovernment would not automaticallyclass the dairymen as exploiters. • Asa matter of fact, these sums and alittle bit more, will be required if theindustry is to make an adequate re-sponse to the appeal to produce more.The fall in dairy production in the lasttwo years is ominous. If New Zea-land secures a parity for its producewith that of other countries, dairymen will have no reason to complainProduction costs are much greaterhere, but the exchange would helpto offset these.
The wool industry is in a muchsimilar position to that of dairying,particularly where wool is the majorproduct of the farm; The industryon high country has more or less beenbordering on a state of insolvency, andprices here would have to improvematerially before the terms of pro-fiteering or exploitation could be ap-plied. • The meat position is more pro-mising. The present price in Englandsuggests that the return might befairlv remunerative, but certainly notexploitive. The British Governmentis not likely to drive a hard bargain.
INITIAL TOP-DRESSING
Useful agricultural lessons areoccasionally taught by accident. Theother day the writer saw in theAmberley district a stand of youngpasture which liad been drilled inFebruary, a bag of super to theacre being applied with the seed.A employee who had been detailedat the end of March to apply a bagof super to another paddock mis-takenly spread it on part of thepasture stand before learning of themistake. His mistake, however, wasexcused when the result was sieen.[The double dressed part is showing
much better growth, and the costobviously will be far more than re-covered by the result. Experience isshowing that niggardly initial appli-cations of lime and fertiliser are badpractice, and that the better policyis to confine the . acreage top-dressed if it necessitates light dress-ings, and do a smaller area well. Itis notable that where these heavierapplications are given the effects ofthe grass-grub are much reduced.
ENLISTMENT OPFARMERS
The statement at the meeting of theFarmers' Union executive this weekthat many farmers and farm workerswere leaving their, properties and em-ployment in order to enlist in theforces receives confirmation from theenlistment figures. .In the list of 44recruits published in “The Press” onThursday morning from the Christ-church and Ashburton bureaux, nofewer than 15 were directly connectedwith the farm. Their employmentstatus was described as tractor driver,shepherd, musterer, dairy farm hand,farmer, and farm labourer. The 15were exclusive of a number of recruitswith designations such as labourer,from farm centres, and possibly aproportion of these are farm workersHowever, excluding them, the propor-tion of direct farm workers is 33 percent., much too heavy to inspire con-fidence as to the supply of farm la-bour in the future. . ,
LIMING IN 1939
CANTERBURY INCREASE
SOUTHLAND’S EXTENSION
Statistics of liming in the Dominionfor the year ending March 31, 1939,have been completed and made avail-able for publication by the FieldsDivision. They ftre interesting asshowing the. steady increase in theuse of lime in the province. By rail-way and lorry, and crushed by pri-vate plants, the quantity used in Can-terbury in the year was 69,088 tonsas against 61,511 tons in the precedingyear. However, for about 2J monthsin the final part of last year limingwas . almost impossible throughoutmost of the province because of thewet weather. This reduced the usevery substantially, probably by up to10,000.. tons. The detailed figures forthe last few years are:—
1938-39— Tons.By rail 54,088 tons, lorry

The decrease in a number of therailway districts in North Canterburyis marked, but this is due to some ex-tent to direct carting from the plantsby lorry and by private crushing. Ash-burton county accounted for 17,852 tonsof the 54,088 tons delivered in Can-terbury by rail. Between the Rangi-tata and Waimate, 14,309 acres wereaccounted for. However, this figurewas 4500 less than that of last year. •
In the Otago province t** northernend shows a minor decrease, this partshowing little improvement in recentyears. In South Otago, however, therehas been a substantial revival in somedistricts, whilst others have slightlymore than maintained recent levels.
The substantial South Island increasewas mamly brought about by the pro-vince of Southland. The quantity de-livered by rail was 80,096 tons, com-pared with 62,840 tons last year, and47,093 in 1936-37. No less than 58,480tons were railed to Eastern districtstations. The remarkable increase inthis province, following on years ofliming, shows the value farmers in theprovince attach to lime. Figures arenot avoilalbe of the acreage limed, butit is a fair assumption that it is thequantity applied, and hot the acreage,that is responsible for the increase.
In the West Coast area an increasein tonnage from 1562 to 1932 is re-corded. This area suffei’s Dy distancefrom the crushers and consequentheavy transport costs.
Picton and Blenheim actually showa decline—1096 tons, as against 1146.Possibly thi* difference may be coveredby extra quantities carried by lorries.Nelson area shows a max-ked slipping,the quantity being 1824 tons as agamst3557 tons last year. The figures aretixe lowest for some years, but maybe partly accounted for by more lorrycarting direct from the crushing plants.
MORE MARRIAGESTHIS MONTH
FIGURES FOR SEPTEMBERCOMPARED
The number of marriage licencesissued in Christchurch during Sep-tember this year more than doubledthe total for the corresponding monthlast year. In September this yearthe number of licences was 243, andthe total for September, 1938, was 106.Marriages by the registrar this monthtotalled 44, compared with 28 for theperiod last year.
A substantial increase is also shownin the number of births for the monthcompared with last year, the totalsbeing: 1939. 249; 1938, 193. There were133 deaths during the month, comparedwitb 194 last year.
Figures for the nine months thisyear, with the totals for the corres-pondmg oeriod in 1938 given in paren-thesis. are:—Births 1880 (1729); deaths1283 (1259); marriage notices 1253(1020); marriages in office 240 (209).

“That the Wairarapa College Boardi protests against the action of the mili-i tary authorities in accepting members

MOTORING INWEEK-ENDS
POPULARITY OF NEARRESORTS
ADVICE OF AUTOMOBILEASSOCIATION
“Because motorists are conservingtheir petrol supplies there is a greater
.amount of traffic at the week-ends thanduring the week days, and consider-able congestion is caused in certainplaces,” says the latest rdad safety mes-sage of the Automobile Association(Canterbury).
“The tendency is for drivers to makefor the more popular resorts or placesof interest or vantage within easy,petrol-saving distance of the city' orhome garage. As a result these placesbecome crowded very soon, and theroads leading to them are busy witha procession of vehicles.
“If a motorist has sufficient petrol,and thousands have, particularly thosewith cars of low horsepower, he shouldgive thought to the notion of showingoriginality in his choice of visitingplace. By so doing he will serve threeor four useful purposes. In the firstplace he will be assisting in relievingcongestion at popular resorts and alongthe roads where everyone seems towant to go; he will be economisingwith petrol because there will beavoidance of changing gear, idling, oraccelerating in processions or trafficjams; there will be the opportunity totravel at a steady, economic speed andmotoring will be more pleasant in theelimination of annoyance, and therewill be less risk of bump and scratchesaway from the crowd.
“There are several excellent reasonswhy motorists with lower horsepowerrating should think twice whether itis really economical to join' the largenumber of drivers all bound for oneparticular place. There is an oldsaying about ‘safety in numbers,’ butit does not apply very aptly on aSunday afternoon,' for instance, whenall cars seem to .be on the same roadand all seem t<s be driven with thesame idea of economy. It is worththinking over.”
FINANCIAL HELPFOR SOLDIERS
BOARD TO BE SET UP SOON
(From Our Parliamentary Reporter I
WELLINGTON, September 29."A proposal to set up- a Soldiers’
Financial Assistance Board is how be-ing framed,” said the Minister for Fin-ance (the Hon. W. Nash), replying inthe House of Representatives to-dayto an urgent question asked by Mr A.S. Richards (Government, Roskill).
Mr Richards had inquired whetherthe Minister would establish someauthority which could provide finan-cial assistance to meet increases ofpremiums on insurance policies- takenout after September 1 and made infavour of the wives and children ofsoldiers going overseas.
“During the 1914-1918 war period,’*said Mr Richards in a note to his ques-tion, “a Soldiers’ Assistance Boardhelped to finance such cases, and£352,389 was paid in war claims at anextra premium of only £33,646 by theGovernment Life Insurance Office.”
Mr Nash said that the subject of theincrease in premium on account ofactive war service was at presentunder consideration, and a proposal toset up a Soldiers’ Financial Assist-ance Board was being framed as soonas the necessary inquiries were com-pleted. A statement of the procedureto be followed would be issued. Exist-ing policies were in the main notaffected.

i IRREGULAR SHARE PRICES
NO DEFINITE WEAKNESS SHOWN
The taxes announced by the Minister for Finance (the Hon.W Nash) on Tuesday to finance New Zealand s war effort weie
less onerous than had been generally expected, and the increased
business which followed the announcement reflected the sharemarket’s relief. Government loans were in stronger demand,turnover in bank shares and insurances increased, and a firming
in brewery shares indicated that the wo&t fears of investors inthis group were not realised. A large part of the recorded turn-over, which was £ 12,870 for four days, against £ 14,726 for fivedays' last week, was again in Australian industrials. Pricemovements over the week were irregular, but there were no.signs of any definite weakness.
COMPANY NEWS
DALGETY AND COMPANY
Major-General Sir John H. David-son, K.C.M.G., has been appointeddeputy-chairman of Dalgety and Com-pany, Ltd..
GERALDINE DAIRY
“For a small factory with only alittle more than 70 tons of an output,the final pay-out of the Geraldine Co-operative Dairy Company of Is 6£d isa creditable performance, and thisspeaks very highly for the factorymanager, Mr A. A. Coleman, and hisstaff, who. although costs have risensharply, have managed to keep theexpenses down and yet come throughwith a grading that is only a fewpoints behind the winners in the SouthCanterbury gradings,” said the chair-man, Mr B- Lafrentz. at the twenty-first annual meeting of the companyat Pleasant Valley. .
Mr Lafrentz said that this was allthe more remarkable in view of thefact that the factory was the only non-pasteurised one in the district.
The meeting qlso warmly praisedthe -work of the secretary (Mr W.McClure), whose conduct of the af-fairs of the company were referred toby the directors as thoroughlyefficient.
Already published in “The Press,"the annual report and balance-sheetwere adopted.
Five directors, Messrs B. Lafrentz,C. Wilks, R. H. W. Scott, G. E. Mat-tison, and G. F. Bailey, who retired byrotation, were re-elected. Mr Lafrentzwas elected chairman, and Mr A. J.Easterbrook deputy-chairman, Mr C.S. Fraser was appointed auditor.
It was decided to pay a dividend of5 per cent, on paid-up capital.

£ 18,274 :175..2d,: against£19,360 Us .last year, a decrease of£IOB6. ' The. 'greatest care had had tobe exbrdised in the administration ofthe association-’s affairs during the lastyear, there had been agreat'feeling 1of uncertainty, especiallyin.. regard; to international;- aflairg- af-dfeKtthg:j:the'sX)ominion, and;, ever-rising.costs: The' in '- turnover of£98,440 Was -principally due .to thedrop-..ih :live-stock turnover of '£74,901and the decreased turnover in wool of£4576. This decrease was lessened bythe fact that. the wool offering lastseason increased by 1113 bales.
Grain ■ and’ produce showed a de-crease of £Bl6ordue, in the main, to avery short wheat crop, but the positionwas assisted by very satisfactory pricesruling for potatoes. . The trading ingeneral merchandise of £<” 5,037 wasa decrease of £2OOO on the year, whichhe trusted would be considered quitesatisfactory in view of the alteredtrading conditions owing to import re-strictions, with ' the accompanyingdifficulties. - ‘ '
, Certified stocks on hand, £
showed an increase- on last year:-of£2958. Depreciation on buildings,furniture, fixtures, and plant had beenfully maintained at £7174, and theratio of expenses to turnover was 18.23per cent., as against 18.16 per cent, lastyear. There was £20,434 available forallocation, and the- directors had de-clared a 5 per cent, dividend on allclasses of preference shares and re-commended a dividend of 5 per cent.on 1 the paid-up capital on ordinaryshares.

It was,proposed to transfer £2OOO to generalreserve, leaving a balance of £1829 tobe carried forward. The balance-sheetshowed that assets had increased by.£ 6136 and liabilities had Increased by£3217, or a general improvement inithis regard of £2919. ,. • The motion was seconded by Mr W.Cartwright .and carried without dis-cussion. ‘ '

The PressSATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1939.
Germany and Russia Pressfor Peace
A communique issued in Berlin announces that
the talks in Moscow between Herr von Ribben-trop and M. Molotov have resulted in “a definite“Polish settlement” and that the German andRussian Governments will now make a jointeffort to end the war, which, in their opinion, is
no longer necessary because Poland has been
liquidated. If Great Britain and France con-
tinue hostilities, the German and Russian Go\
ernments will confer again “concerning the“necessary steps.” By way of sharpening thepoint of this last threat, it is added that Russiahas undertaken to supply Germany with “all“ the necessary raw materials.” Neither the
to eneral significance of the communique nor the
meaning of its reference to a Polish settlementis yet clear. Presumably, however, it is nothing
more than a summary for public information of
the results of the discussions in Moscow andwill be followed by the communication ofdefinite proposals to the British and FrenchGovernments, who will therefore be unlikelyto make any formal reply in the meantime. If
the reference to a Polish settlement meanssimply that the German and Russian Govern-ments have agreed to partition Poland alongthfe line accepted a few days ago by the highcommands of their two armies, the Allies willhave not the slightest difficulty in stating theirpolicy and deciding their course of actiqn. Theywent to war in defence of the independence of
Poland; and the fact that Poland has been over-whelmed by invaders does not cancel theirtreaty obligations and will not lessen their de-
termination to prosecute the war to a success-
ful conclusion. If, on the other hand, Germany
and Russia have taken only those parts of
Poland which might be considered to belong tothem ethnically, leaving a buffer State betweenthem consisting of indisputably Polish popula-tions, the task of framing a satisfactory justifi-cation for rejecting a peace proposal may not beeasy. Certainly it will be necessary for theAllied Governments to formulate their war
aim.- with much greater precision than theyhave yet done. It remains to add that the
Berlin communique, in spite of its obscurities,does clear the air in one important respect. Inthe last week or so there has been much wish-ful talk about the conflict between German andRussian interests. It is now obvious that, as far
as Poland is concerned, the conflict has beenresolved and that for the time being Germany
and Russia are working in a close andpartnership. ,
Closing the SessionThe Acting-Prime Minister had very goodreason ■ to say on Thursday that the sessioncould not end this week, whatever efforts mightbe made. The question is whether hopes ofclosing it “ as early as possible next week ” arereasonable; and whether, important work willbe well done if it is done so rapidly. MrFraser’s account of the programme to be com- 1pleted makes this doubtful.' He enumeratedmeasures, a formidable list, of which a few
could be rapidly disposed of but of which otherswere of the weightiest importance and, as he
frankly admitted, likely to be contentious.Three stand out. One is the Reserve BankAmendment Bill, which will complete what is
at present a sketchy view of the Government’sj war-finance policy. It is not necessary to as-
sume that the Government will and should be
challenged upon the proposals to be disclosed;
it is sufficient to say that they must be
examined, explained, and justified, in their re-lation to the Government’s war measures as a
whole. - The Government owes Parliament, thepublic, and itself every facility for this to be
done. Second, the Primary Products MarketingAmendment Bill will bring forward the scheme
under which the Government proposes to buy
and seU aU New Zealand’s major exports. No
doubt' a framework ,-wiU be presented, theoperation of the scheme being made subject toperiodic regulations and orders; but the finan-
cial and industrial implications of the schemeare such that principle, purpose, and techniqueshould aU be as clear as possible andcriticaUy tested. -FinaUy, the Land and IncomeTax Amendment Bill, though it does pot em-brace aU the recommendations of the commit-tee which has reported on the tax system, is
evidently more than a stop-gap measure. As
a machine to prevent tax-evasion it has itsplace among the Government’s war legislation;but the Government has before now betrayeda tendency to describe perfectly legal exemp-
tions from tax-liabUity as “evasions.” Parlia-ment will not do its duty, if it does not takecare that proper safeguards against unfair orexcessive tax exactions are upheld. But the
bill goes further, into the reform of anomaliesand inequitable incidence of taxation. It rates,therefore, as a financial measure of great conse-quence. Parliament at no other time'would be
asked to hurry through it; it should not be
asked to do so now. Although heavily bur-
dened Ministers need relief from duty in the
House to concentrate on their administrativetagkq, now in some departments anxiously in-creased, Parliament should complete its work—
such work as must be done—without beingforced to a scrambling finish. Legislation thatis too important to be delayed is sgso legislationtoo important to be rushed faster than thoughtcan go with it.
The Note CirculationA disquieting feature of. recent Reserve Bankreturns is the continued expansion in the notecirculation. In- 1934, the weekly note circula-tion averaged £8,816,000; by 1936 this figurehad risen to £10,748,000; by 1938 it had risento £14,073.000; and in the present year theweekly figure has only once been less than£15,000,000 and is now, according to the re-turn published yesterday, £16,648,000. That is,Mcv Zealand’s note circulation has doubled in. • . ..Th five years. An increase of this magni-
m he amount of currency in the handsot the. public is normally regarded as an eco-nomic danger signal; and it is on the wholeremarkable that ,during the five years the risein prices has not been greater. The cost of liv-ing'index, taking 1930 as the base year, has
risen from 82.4 in 1934 to 100.3 in July of thisyear, an increase of approximately 20 per cent.It seems obvious enough that there are factors—hoarding may be one of them—which aretending to retard the velocity of circulation.Nevertheless, although the rising note circula-tion has not had all the bad effects which somecritics of the Government’s financial policyhave been predicting, it remains true that thecost of living is rising in New Zealand appreci-ably faster than in Great Britain or Australiaand that the Government has felt impelled totake drastic measures to control prices. It canbe said with some certainty that these measureswill not succeed unless they are accompaniedby an attempt to bring the note circulationdown to more reasonable dimensions. The prin-cipal reason for the increase in the note circu-
lation is not in doubt; it is that the total of ad-vances by the Reserve Bank to the State hasrisen from nothing in 1934 to £11,000,000 atthe beginning of this year and to £16,250,000at the present time. The extraordinary expendi-ture forced on the Government when war brokeout left it with no option but to make furtheruse of Reserve Bank credits; but it should nowbe evolving a plan of war finance which paysdue regard to the economic consequences ofincreased spending. One of the first points inthat plan should be a reduction in the Stateoverdraft at the Reserve Bank.
CHURCH AND WAR
Archbishop’s PastoralLetter
“CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES AREAT STAKE”
[THE PRESS Special Service.!
AUCKLAND, September 29.Issues on which Britain and France are fight-
ing the war and the attitude which Christianpeople should adopt toward it are discussed byArchbishop Averill in a pastoral letter. TheArchbishop refuses to believe that all theprayers for peace in recent months went un-answered.
“When we think of the nations which mighthave been arrayed against Britain and Franceat this present moment, and are not so arrayed,”he writes, “cannot we find there the answer toour- prayers?”
He also points to the solidarity and unity ofthe British Empire at the present time, and thedesire of men to subordinate their lesser loyal-ties to a greater loyalty.
"We know that God wills justice, brotherhood,and peace in the world,” the letter Weknow that God acts through human instrumems.We know that God will not override the per-verted wills of men and nations, and tho-eforewe know that there is always the possibility ofa clash of human wills with the Divine will solonk as men and nations refuse to accept theChristian doctrines of God’s sovereignty andfatherhood and the brotherhood of man.
The Archbishop says that he believes respon-sible authorities in Britain have not ignored theChristian conscience, but have acted in the sin-cere belief that a triumph of might over rightand of slavery over Christian and pereonalfreedom would be a terrible blow to ChristianPr"Woufd it be right in the sight of God/’heasks, “to allow the pagan ideals of Hitlerismto prevail in the world? There is something atstake to-day much deeper than the triumph ofthe perverted ideals of a dominant group in
Germany, and it is surely true to say that ourwrestling hj not against flesh and blood, putagainst principalities, against powers, againstworld rulers of this darkness, against spiritualhosts of wickedness in heavenly places.
“There is something at stake much deeperthan the challenge to the principles of democ-racy for the yery fundamental principles orChrist are being challenged, and’ the world is
faced with an attempt to establish a most in-
sidious form of idolatry in place of God.“It is not merely a question of conflict be-
tween Germany and Poland, neither is it aquestion merely of German expansion, but aquestion whether it is right or wrong for anynation to impose its will upon another nationand reduce it to slavery simply forJhe sake ofadding to its dwn material strength and pres-tige. so that it may eventually be in a positionto dictate to the world and force its own selfishand perverted ideals upon the world.

“There has been talk in some quarters thatthe State will take over our homes. God forbidthat that should take place,” said the Rev. A. M.Elliffe, at the annual meeting of the DunedinPresbyterian Social Service Association. Thehomes had been established with a definiteChristian aim, and that aim was being kept tothe forefront. “We hope,” said Mr Elliffe, 1 thatit will remain there in the future.”
The Postmaster-General (the Hon. F. Jones)announced yesterday that there would be alittle delay in placing on sale the new healthstamps. It was originally intended that thestamps should be placed on sale on Mondaynext, but a postponement was rendered neces-sary by the change in the postage rates. Thenew date of sale will be announced as earlyas possible.—Press Association.
The establishment of a child guidance clinicservice at the Auckland University College wasapproved at a meeting of the Auckland Univer-sity College Council, states the “New ZealandHerald.” The report of the finance committeerecommended that the question of the expenseinvolved in the conversion of a room for theservice be submitted for the favourable con-sideration of the November financial meetingThe proposal was originally considered by thecouncil and the Professorial Board two yearsago, and approved on condition that no addi-tional finance was required for its operation.
“It was anticipated that, with the advent ofsocial security, considerable benefit would cometo our association, but, unfortunately, up to thepresent, very little of this is in evidence,” statesth<- annual report of the Dunedin PresbyterianSocial Service Association. “The majority ofthe old people in Ross Home are in receipt of
age pension, but any increase that isgranted through the new legislation is morethan balanced by the increase in the cost ofliving. It was hoped, that at the children'shomes some help would be received, but, asthe majority of our children are motherlessorphans for whom there is no benefit, the as-sociation's position has not been helped.”
General News
A Cat Story
News stories from New Zealand are of com-paratively rare occurrence in American news-papers, according to a Christchurch residentwho recently spent five weeks in the United.States. He says that in that time he noticedonly two paragraphs about New Zealand eventsin the American papers. The first was about aspectator riding a steeplechase horse which hadlost its jockey into a place. The other, an im-aginative effort in a San Francisco paper, re-counted that an influenza epidemic which killedthousands of cats was responsible for a short-age of kittens in New Zealand, and added.‘‘Mice and rats are becoming bolder in theabsence of their natural enemy. ’
Italian Views About War“The Italian people are definitely opposed to
a tie-up with Germany,” said Mr P. Scott Ram-say, who returned to Auckland by the Monte-rey after a visit to Britain and Europe. He wasemphatic that the Rome-Berlin axis could notwithstand the shock of war. Mussolini s tolera-tion towards the people of all racial typesItaly and relations with the Catholic Churchwere in direct contrast to the position in Ger-many. While Hitler had reduced tens of thou-sands of Jews to poverty and misery Mussolinihad enabled them to live on a level of equalitywith the people of other races. In Vienna hun-dreds of shops formerly occupied by Jews werenow closed and begging was common in thestreets.—Press Association.
Intercolonial GolfThere is no possibility of the proposed golf
matches between Nevv Zealand teams and teamsrepresenting the Australian states being helduntil after the war, according to the annualreport of the council of the Hew Zealand GolfAssociation. “Negotiations were within sight ofbeing finalised when war broke out,” the reportstates. “It is hoped that everything will be morder to begin this happy interchange of visitswhen that much hoped-for end is reached.’ Thereport also mentions that the three Centennialtournaments have been cancelled, and that theNew Zealand championships will be played atMiramar between November 9 and 17.
Presbyterian Church“Of a sum of £300,000 being sought by the
Presbyterian Church, the Presbyterian Assem-bly Committee has pleasure in stating that atthe end of the church’s financial year the totalcontributions received or promised amounted to£200,000, or two-thirds of the objective, saysa statement. “Special thanksgiving serviceswill be held in all Presbyterian churchesthroughout the Dominion to-morrow, when allPresbyterians and friends are invited to join inthe thankoffering and so help in contributingthe last £IOO,OOO required to attain thechurch’s objective. The fund is to be appliedfirst by each congregation paying off the debtof its own church, in the aggregate £200,000,and the last £ 100,000 is to assist the work ofmissions (home, Maori, and foreign); to aid thebeneficiary fund; to help increase the stipendsof lower-paid ministers and home missionaries;and to build up a sites and buildings fund.
Southland’s Bobby CalvesFor the first time in several years the num-
ber of bobby calves collected in Southland thisseason has shown an increase. The first fivecollections showed an increase of about 1500head to 8500 compared with 7000 for the samenumber, of collections last year. The progressalready made is considered to be very satisfac-tory and the committee controlling the South-land pool expects that the total number handledfor the full season will be substantially higherthan last year. An advance payment of 7s 6da head is being made for all first-grade calvesreceived. Last year the advance payment was8s a head and the bonus of Is a head at theend of the season brought the total paymentto 9s. Because of the uncertainties of the mar-ket at present it has not been possible to offeran advance equal to last season, but the cora-
/mittee believes that it will be possible to makea satisfactory final payment.
Melbourne-Bluff Service
The decision of the Union Steam Ship Com-pany not to run a tourist shipping service be-tween Melbourne and Bluff this summer hasbeen accepted by the Invercargill Chamber ofCommerce, which debated the question.Opinions expressed by members were that itwould not be reasonable to expect the shippingcompany to conduct the service during a periodwhen tourist traffic would naturally declineowing to the war, nor would it be reasonable toembarrass the Government by urging that thesubsidy question be opened again. In the mean-time, though the discontinuance of the servicewould be a severe loss to the province, it wasfelt the whole question should be left with theGovernment, which might decide to take stepsto arrange for an extra service from Australiato Bluff during the period of the CentennialExhibition.—Press Association.
Prospects for FishingWith all the rivers carrying good volumes of
water, prospects are reported to be particu-larly bright for the opening of the fishing sea-son in North Canterbury to-morrow. It is evi-dent from the number of licences issued so farby the North Canterbury Acclimatisation So-ciety that many enthusiasts intend to begintheir fishing early this season. According toadvice received yesterday from the secretaryof the society (Mr G. L. Pomfret-Dodd) theRakaia, Rangitata, Hurunui, Ashley, andSelwyn rivers are all clear and fishable. TheWaimakariri river is slightly above normal,and is milky.
New J-Class LocomotivesThe second pair of 30 new general utility J-
class locomotives ordered from Scotland by theRailway. Department is now at Auckland andwill be shipped to Wellington. The afternoonexpress and the limited express to Wellington,which have for some time been drawn by thelarge K-class engines, will be hauled part ofthe way by this type of locomotive, which isstreamlined and has a torpedo-shaped boilerfront. Ten of the 30 new locomotives will beused in the Auckland district. 10 in the Frank-ton area and the remainder in the Taumarunuidistrict.
Conventional Swimming DressThe dress of swimmers at the Invercargill
tepid baths will not be so abbreviated as thoseworn on most of the beaches in New ZealandAt its last meeting the Invercargill City Coun-cil decided to adhere to its ruling that trunkswithout uppers shall not be worn in the bathsand neither men nor boys shall be allowed tolower their costumes to the waist before retir-ing to their dressing sheds.
£SOO for Greens Research
A total- of £SO0—a decrease of £BO on thesum for the previous year—was granted by theNew Zealand' Golf Association to the greensresearch committee during the year, states theannual report of the council of the association."Our affiliated clubs continue to derive in-estimable benefit from the very excellent workwhich the committee is carrying on, in Palmers-ton North,” the report continues. “A numberof clubs have written to the association ex-pressing appreciation of the helpful assistancegiven by the advisory officer (Mr W. M. Hor-ton). A credit of £565 12s 6d is shown uvtheassociation’s balance-sheet, and the member-ship at July 31 was 328 clubs.”
Mislaid Passports .
Arriving at Southampton to join the steamerQueen Mary for America, Mr and Mrs J. B.Bradley, of Feiiding, discovered that their pass-ports had been left in the bureau of a Londonhotel bedroom. Officials said “No passport; notrip.” Mrs Bradley then hit on the idea of hav-ing the passports sent by air to Cherbourg(France) the ship’s last European port of call.Ships’ officers allowed, them to travel to Cher-bourg after telephone calls to London. At thescheduled time of departure from Cherbourgthe passports had not arrived. The New Zea-landers went ashore with their luggage and thegangway was raised. After the ship had beendelayed for some minutes the passports arrived,having been raced from the aerodrome to thejetty. The gangway was lowered, the Bradleyshurried aboard, and the Queen Mary cast off.“It was touch and go,” said Mr Bradley. “It wasalso expensive.”—Press Association.
COBB RIVERPOWER
STATE TO TAKE
CONTROL
PRINCIPLE AGREED TO
BY GOVERNMENT
INVESTIGATION BY
OFFICERS
The principle of its taking over theCobb river hydro-electric power de-velopment has been accepted by theGovernment.' The Government’sacceptance of the principle is based,it is reliably reported, on the de-sirability of providing additionalelectric power facilities for the Nel-son district.
This decision follows public state-ments by the Prime Minister (theRt. Hon. M, J. Savage) and the Min-ister for Public Works (the Hon. R.Semple) and discussions betweenthe Government and representativesof the Hume (Cobb River) Com-pany.
fA committee of Government offi-cers has been appointed to reporton the proposal that the Govern-ment should take over the scheme.
On the committee’s report willdepend the terms of the final sub-mission which will be made to theGovernment. It is understood thatthe committee will begin its workimmediately.
“It would not be fair to the com-pany or anybody else,” replied MrSavage when he was invited on May30 to comment on an article in “ThePress” stating that the Governmenthad been asked to intervene to en-sure that, in the event of any delayin the construction, the distributingauthorities affected *would have anadequate supply of power.
“The work is bound to be earnedon by someone,” said the Prune Min-ister. “Power is required.”
TRANSFORMATIONIN RIVERBED
PLOUGHED LAND FROMTANGLED GROWTH
ASHBURTON CONTROL SCHEMEINSPECTED
An impressive transformation in cer-tain parts of the Ashburton riverbedwas seen by members of the AshburtonCounty Council yesterday, when theyinspected the river control scheme be-ing carried out by the Public WorksDepartment. One instance was an areaof 40 acres of ploughed land in theriverbed opposite Allanton, where, afew months ago, stood tall willowsanda tangled mass of gorse and broom.
Twelve miles of the riverbed be-tween Digby’s Bridge and Wakanuiwas inspected, and the councillors sawthe clearing of willows and other
growth being carriedout, and stdpbanksin the course of construction. It wasstated that of the 32 miles of stop-banks required six miles bad beencompleted. One hundred acres ofheavy timber had been cleared, mostof this class of clearing being finished.About a third of the work necessaryin the whole scheme had been done.
-Modern machinery, including bull-dozers and stump pullers, was beingused.
Answering a question about the costto the council of maintaining thescheme when complete, Mr T. G. Beck,irrigation engineer in Canterbury, saidthe special rate on the adjoining pro-perty would meet this. Councillorsalso saw evidence of the way theriverwould make a natural straightchannelfor itself when the bed was clear ofgrowth.
_ ,, ,
The work of Mr Beck, who plannedthe scheme, and of Mr J. O. Riddell(engineer in charge) was praised bythe chairman (Mr H. J. Crothers), whosaid the council had decided to writeto the Minister for Public Works (theHon. R. Semple) expressing apprecia-tion. of the engineers and of the effi-ciency displayed in tackling so big aproblem. . '
MONEY FOR FARMERS"HOMES
RURAL HOUSING BILLPASSED
[From Our Parliamentary Reporter.!
WELLINGTON, September 29.Several amendments were made to
the Rural Housing Bill during thecommittee stages on the measure inthe House of Representatives to-day.The Minister for Housing (the Hon.H. T. Armstrong) explained that most-of these were the outcome of sugges-tions made during the second readingdebate on the measure.

HUNGARY’S DESTINYHeavy Pressure from Berlin |
J SYMPATHY WITH POLAND JThis article by a former Foreign Minister in the French .
Government was written a few days before the outbreak of ywar and describes the dilemma in which Hungary was placed
by the German threat to Poland. • . J[By FRANCOIS DE TESSAN.3
Count Csaky’s diplomatic peregrina-tions in Germany and Italy have givenrise to various suppositions as to thedemands of Berlin for the vassalisationof Hungary. It is certain that a con-siderable effort is at present beingmade to bring Hungary into line withthe policy of the tThird Reich.
The manoeuvre has three objectives:(1) The constitution of a pro-NaziCabinet, if that headed by Count Te-leki does not provide sufficient guaran-tees; (2) privileges for the Pan-Ger-manist organisations ’and for the Ger-man minorities in Hungary; (3) a mili-tary agreement of the free passage ofthe German troops through Hungaryin order to reach the Polish frontier.
If this information is correct, theproposal amounts to no less than theestablishment of a kind of protectoratewith the incorporation of Hungary intoGermany. But Hungary,whose materialinterests are largely coincident withthose of Germany, none the less pos-sesses a strong measure of originality.It is a proud country and is veryjealous of its political independence,much more difficult to subjugate themAustria or Czechoslovakia.
“A Schnschnigg Period”“We are passing through a Schusch-
nigg period,” I was told by a veryeminent Hungarian on a visit to Paris.“The drama is there to the full, but Ibelieve that Horthy, who is a strongman. will resist any kind of domina-tion and will save what can be savedof our liberty.”
and who consider that they are amply -

stitution of the kingdom of Si.Stephen. But what is the price to bjpaid for the recuperation of furtheyterritories and of a more or less im-portant fraction of Slovakia? '
Friendship With Poland ■ -J-The Fuehrer demands her liberty, fho -

Horthy—the ruler of Hungary—pos-sesses in fact considerable energy. Heis the former aide-de-camp of the Em-peror Francis Joseph, a former fencingchampion, the hero of Otranto, who,during the war, held up 27 Italian ves-sels with his three units. He also wasthe man who was bold enough towreck the rebellion of Bela Nun.
Nicolas Horthy is 70 years old, buthe is still brimming over with intel-lectual and physical vigour. In respectof Adolf Hitler, his sentiments aremixed- He may recognise that it isnecessary to compromise with the newBeich, but hispatriotism does not allowhim to conceive of an abdication inface of the Neo-Germanic prestige.This is why he has refused to applythe totalitarian measures already car-ried through in the Third Beich.
■ Similarly, although he has made far-reaching concessions, to the policy ofthe axis, he has proved in. the domesticplane his definite decision to counter,by all means, the subversive propa-ganda of the “Swastikas” and of allother more or less prominent groupswho endeavour to .promote the policyof Germany.
Minority ProblemsThe ethnical minority is very well
treated in Hungary. There is no rea-son for it to complain. It only in-cludes about 450,000 individuals,whereas the Nazi propaganda as-sesses it at 700,000 souls. The Feder-ation of the Germans of Hungarygroups together all elements in '.fav-our of Hitlerism, and organises mani-festations to develop the Greater-Ger-many movement. But even amongthese Germans of Hungary there aresome who protest against a merger.
EXPORT LICENCESREFUSED
Shipping of . Seeds t
And Pelts
MERCHANTS MEET WITHDIFFICULTY
Christchurch exporters of seeds, tal-low, hides and pelts are concernedabout their inability to secure exportpermits for a large proportion of theirorders. • They state that a vessel whichcalled at Lyttelton recently to loadpelts for eastern American ports wascompelled to go on to Dunedin with-out loading much of the cargo whichwas intended for her. This cargo wasleft in the trucks because exportlicences were refused.
The merchants say they can see noreason for the refusal of the licences.All formalities were complied with,and the only answer which the Cus-toms Department would give to in-quiries was that it was unable to givethe necessary permission to export.
The trade in pelts between New Zea-land and eastern American ports iswell established and of considerablevolume. The merchants state thatthere is evidence that the pelts ar notrequired in the United Kingdom.
“The Press” referred the merchants’complaint to the Minister for Customs(the Hon. W. Nash) last evening, andhe replied: '
.
“I know nothing of the details men-tioned. I only know we are makingsure that the United Kingdom knowsfirst what stocks we have and that theUnited Kingdom does not requirethem.”
The export of all seeds except fescue,browntop, and Suckling clover isbanned in the meantime, and this hasmeant that large orders lor Americaare as yet unfulfilled. A Governmenttender.for a considerable quantity ofseed close . at the beginning of theweek, and merchants are hopeful thatwhen these requirements have beenmet, probably in a week or so, licenceswill be issued to export the seed nowawaiting shipment.
Seed merchants, like the merchantswho deal in pelts, were recently askedto make a return of their stocks im-mediately. and they are to continue tomake returns—one every month. Theypoint out, however, that if these re-turns are required to indicate stocksheld in the country they are practic-ally valueless, because they take noaccount of seed still in farmers’ bands.
As one merchant said yesterday, todiscover the quantity of any particu-lar kind of seed yet to be marketed isan impossible task. It takes an in-crease in price to bring the growersforward •with their stocks. Stocks ofany line may appear to be exhausted;but a lift in the price would bringfresh offerings “pouring from the hol-low logs.” —

sued by the Official German NewsAgency after the conclusion of thenegotiations in Moscow between theSoviet Commissar for Foreign- Af-fairs (M. Molotov) and the GermanForeign Minister (Herr von Ribben-trop) is:— .
“(1) The German and Soviet Gov-ernments, having by agreementsigned a definite settlement of > thequestions arising from the dissolu-tion of the Polish State, anti havingthus created a sure basis for a dur-able Eastern European peace, de-clare that it is their unanimousopinion that it would be in the rearinterests of all nations to- end thestate of war existing between Ger-many on the one' hand and Britainand France on the other.
,
“The two Governments will there-f e make a joint effort, with the"o-operation of other friendlyPowers, to attain this end as soon aspossible. If these efforts do not suc-ceed, the fact will then be provedthat Britain and France are respon-sible for the continuation of thewar. If the war -should be con-tinued, • joint consultations willoccur between the German and So-viet Governments on the subject oinecessary. measures.
“The German and Soviet Govern-ments, after the dissolution of theformer Polish State, consider ittheir exclusive task to re-establishpeace • and order in these territoriesand to assure the nationalities liv-ing there a peaceful existence ac-cording to their particular races.
Five Articles“They have agreed to the follow-
ing articles:— ,“First, the German and Soviet
Governments fix as the frontier oftheir imperial interests in the for-mer Polish territory the line markedon the attached map. This line willbe redefined in a complementaryProtocol.
“Second, the two parties recog-nise as the final frontier theirimperial interests that fixed in Ar-ticle one, and they will refuse allinterference by a third Power withthis settlement.
“Third, the new political settle-ment necessary in the territorieswest of the line fixed in Article onewill be established by the GermanGovernment, and in the territorieseast of the line by the SovietGovernment.

already advancing along the Vistulato the most advantageous frontier,but Herr Hitler apparently is re-signed to accept this , set-back pro-vided he is enabled to manoeuvre asuitable diplomatic position fromwhich to tackle the democracies overthe question of peace. ,
,'
It is expected that Herr Hitler sargument will be the same as SignorMussolini’s, that the war has notyet begun on -the Western Front;but there would be no question ofrestoring Poland and liberatingCzechoslovakia and Austria.
Herr Hitler stands to lose greatinfluence on the Baltic, for whichreason he is fighting hard to limitthe retreat before Bolshevik pene-tration,
A French ViewFrench observers believe that
Herr Hitler will try to get theshadow of Russia behind the peaceoffensive in an effort to induceBritain and France to agree to thedisappearance of Poland under Ger-man and Soviet domination. Hewill also attempt to secure a settle-ment of colonial issues and a read-justment of commercial and mer-cantile advantages for Russia andGermany.
Germany will then probably agreeto peace for a number of years, butin the event of the certain refusalHerr Hitler will regard himself asat liberty to employ all his forcesin the West.
Herr von Ribbentrop is expectedto conclude his visit to Moscow to-morrow. To-day he spent two hoursand a half talking with M. Stalinand M. Molotov after remaining inconference with them previouslyuntil the early hours of the morn-ing.
The Moscow correspondent of theBritish United Press states that Herrvon Ribbentrop resumed his talksat the Kremlin this afternoon. Theylasted for two hours and a half.
It is hinted that Herr von Ribben-trop- is not having altogether asmooth passage. Russia, it is re-ported, seeks to hold the balance ofpower between Europe and Asia, andseeks to remove the vulnerability ofLeningrad by extending her controlto the Gulf of Finland.

LONDON, September 28,
The Soviet radio says thatRussia and Germany are callinga peace conference and are in-viting . an un-named greatneutral, believed to be eitherItaly or the United States.
M. Stalin and Herr von Rlb-bentrop, the German ForeignMinister, discussed questions ofEuropean peace, the final de-cision of . which would beof the greatest diplomatic im-portance. It was agreed that no.other nation should be allowedto interfere in the fate of Po-land, which must be completelydisarmed, new frontier lines be-ing drawn in Polish territory.
The radio announcementadded: “At this conference, theywill make and discuss proposals.Should the Allies not accept theproposals, the war will continueuntil the end. Estonia has de-cided to accept the Soviet de-mand for a Russian naval base.”
«
The world again waits while M.Stalin holds court in the Kremlin,but this time it is realised that theoutcome is certain to affect pro-foundly the course of the war andEurope’s future.
What Herr von Ribbentrop is dis-cussing is unknown, but it seemscertain that once an agreement isreached Herr Hitler will launch a.peace offensive with full force.
The German view is that the warended with the capitulation of War-saw and that the onus is now onBritain and France to decidewhetherthe hostilities shall be resumed ona greater scale.

M.

COMMENT IN LONDON(Received September 30, 2.20 a.m.)
LONDON, September 29.Comment in London on the latest
move by Germany and the Soviet isthat it is another attempt in .thecampaign of manoeuvres and propa-ganda intended to shake the resolu-tion of Britain and France. Thoughit sounds impressive,, it actuallybrings no change in the inter-national situation.
_
‘It is recalled that at the time'of
the conclusion of the original Ger-man-Soviet Pact the situation wascarefully weighed by Britain andFrance.
It is not expected that the newtrade agreement between Germanyand the Soviet will ensure anygreater supply of Russian goods toGermany, nor any additional assist-ance from Russia.
The threat is described as “anotherbogy-man which is not likely tofrighten Britain and France.” TheParis wireless expresses an exactlysimilar view to that held in Londonand says that the French attitude isunchanged.
In brief it is stated that Germanyand ’ the Soviet appear to havelaunched a new offensive in the warof words, which has already failed.
GERMAN-SOVIETRELATIONS
CONTEST FOR POWEROR CO OPERATION ?
(Received September 29, 1.30 p.m.)
NEW YORK, September 28.The Moscow correspondent of the
“New York ‘Times” states that awell-informed embassy officialfamilial" with the Kremlin view ismost positive that Herr von Ribben-trop’s visit does not mark anytriumph for Germany, but a newstage of gradually developing diffi-culties.
First of thsse difficulties is Rus-sia’s secret mobilisation, for whichGermany sought an explanation invain.
The second difficulty is Russia’ssuspected pressure to force Ger-many to agree to an advanced Sovietline of demarcation in Poland, cut-ting off Germany from contact withRumania, depriving Germany of theGalician oilfields, and eventually ex-posing German Poland to Com-munist penetration by propaganda.
The third difficulty is the 'Russian-Turkish'negotiations which, it is be-lieved, will end with the Soviet re-placing Germany as. the dominantpower in the Balkans.
It is believed the Russian plansconcerning Turkey and the Balkanswere; advanced before Germanywas informed about them, uponwhich Germany demanded thatHerr von Ribbentrop be invited to'Moscow before the arrangementwas completed.
Similarly, the Soviet’s _ ominousattitude towards Estonia is held topresage the loss of German influencein Estonia, which will become aSoviet protectorate.
None ;of these diplomatic set-backs is considcred to preclude Herrvon Ribbentrop from securing im-pressive ipaper agreements, both forsupplies from Russia and from theBalkans, and for Poland’s future.
On the contfary,_ other well-in-formed circles consider Herr vonRibbentrop’s visit as a further con-solidation of Russian-German co-operation.; The revelation of an-other stage of this as a preliminaryto the disclosure of a full militarypact between Russia and Germanyto partition eastern and south-east-ern Europe is expected to result.
The Baltic States are likely to bedivided into spheres of influence,Russia receiving a major share, anda Polish buffer, State being estab-lished, Russia now contributing partof the. territory allotted to her. Ger-many would be allotted Hungaryand most of Rumania, Russia con-trolling Bessarabia, Rumania’s BlackSea coast, Ond Bulgaria, at leasteconomically.!,
The embassy official’s view thatthe visit is not a triumph, is sup-
ported by the Berlin correspondentof the United Press of America, whoreports that Russia’s increasing in-terest in the Balkans is engender-ing anxiety at the possibility of aRussian Pan-Slavic movement.
Informed quarters believe thatHerr von Ribbentrop’s conversationscover the Soviet’s awakening inter-,est in the Balkans, which hithertohave been regarded, as exclusively,an Italian, and German concern.
The inclusion of the Danzig Nazileader (Herr Albert Foerster) in thedelegation is believed to indicate'economic discussions. It is pointedout that the Polish partition hasgiven Russia the Vistula, an outletto the Baltic. . .
SOVIET ANDESTONIA
Terms of PactAnnounced
SHOCK TO BALTIC'
NEUTRALITY
(EXITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.)
(Received September 29, 10 p.m.)MOSCOW, September 28.
The terms of the pact betweenRussia and Estonia are:—
(1) The countries agree toassist each other In the eventof direct aggression by any greatEuropean Power either in theBaltic-or through Latvia.
(3) Russia undertakes to equipthe Estonian Army.
(3) Estonia will allow Russiato maintain naval and air basesin the islands of Oesel and Dagoeand in the town of Baldiski.The bases will remain Estonianterritory.
(4) The countries agree notto participate in any coalitionagainst each other,
(5) The countries agree thatthe pact does not affect thesovereign rights, economic sys-tems or constitutions 'of theparties.
(6) The pact will be effectivewithin six days and will oper-ate for 10 years.
The Soviet Tass news' agency an-nounces that the Soviet Union andEstonia have signed- a new tradeagreement.
A message from Stockholm says itis understood that Russia has ob-tained permission to station 25,000troops on Oesel and' Dagoe for theduration of the. war.
The Helsingfors correspondent ofthe “New York Times” learns onexcellent authority that the Estoniandelegation to Moscow informed theSoviet Foreign Commissar (M.tov) that Estonia was prepared toaccept at least some of Russia’s de-mands, understood tb involve con-trol of certain territory on the westcoast of Estonia. This painful .de-cision was taken in the hope b£avoiding still greater claims. TheEstonian authorities utterly disbe-lieve the Soviet statement about thesinking ■of , the Soviet steamerMetallist off Estonia by an unknownsubmarine. They assert that it isa concoction intended to inflameSoviet opinion.
All sections in Estonia bitterlyrealise that Russia is taking advan-tage of the present European . posi-tion to throw Estonia into the melt-ing-pot, and realise also that helpis nowhere forthcoming.
Finnish newspapers refrain fromnoting the seriousness of Estonia’sposition, it being apparently thoughtinopportune politically, at this stageof the Baltic crisis, to scrutinise themotives and methods of the twogreat Powers chiefly concerned. .
Estonia’s fate and Estonia’s com-plete independence are consideredone of-the corner-stones of the peacepolicy of the northern neutral States,The latter has now received a rudeshock which soon may have reper-cussions elsewhere on the Baltic.
An earlier report from Riga saidthat Soviet aeroplanes several timesflew over Tallinn, the Estonian capi-tal, to-day. It was suggested thatRussia was seeking to provoke anti-aircraft fire.
From Helsinki it was reportedthat the Soviet Navy was cruisingin battle formation off Estonia. TheRussian radio was vigorously attack-ing Estonia. It was believed thatMoscow regarded the present Gov-ernment as “insufficiently friendly”towards the Soviet, and that a re-construction was possible.
Suggested German PlanThe Berlin correspondent of the
Danish paper “Nationaltidende”states that Wilhelmstrasse circlesare talking of the creation of’ ablockade-proof lebensraum (livingspace), with Berlin and Moscow asthe dominating centres, but embrac-ing Italy and the intermediate statesfrom the Balkans to the Baltic.
The purpose of this bloc ’ wouldbe' to blockade Britain and Franceat the appropriate time if “they didnot listen to reason.” The opinion isexpressed that these circumstanceswould compel Turkey and Japan tojoin in.
The paper adds: “This grandioseplan aims at reducing Britain andFrance to the status of border States,which would be forced on them. Itis certain that Herr von Ribbentropis putting some such project toMoscow.”
The visit of Herr von Ribbentropto Moscow was unexpected and ap-parently the Turkish Foreign Minis-ter (Sukru Saracoglu) did not knowhe was coming. To-day the TurkiarForeign Minister did not see anySoviet statesmen, but the Soviet-Turkish talks will probably be con-tinued to-morrow.
The Estonian Foreign Minister hasnot been at the Kremlin since yes-terday.
Another foreign visitor to Moscowis the head of the Bulgarian Minis-try of Civil Aviation. It is said thathe is attempting to arrange an airline between Moscow and Sofia, butforeign observers regard it as fore-shadowing closer relations betweenthe Soviet and Bulgaria. It is sig-nificant that the Soviet has appointeda new minister to Sofia after a lapseof more than two years.

grain movement is perhapsthe most important. In the firstweek of war-wheat and maize fromthe great lake ports piled up inMontreal and jammed the eleva-tors. This made it necessary forthe laden lake steamers to anchorin the river to await unloading. -
However, Britain quickly organ-ised a convoy system, and it waslearned to-day that the first suc-cessful convoy had arrived in Bri-tain. It consisted of 15 freightersloaded with, a total of, 500,000bushels of grain. There have beenothers since.
It is reliably stated that nonewas menaced by U-boats. TheGermans find it more profitable,according to naval authorities, toattack individual ships. An assaulton a convoy would be almost fatal.
It is understood that the Ger-mans are quite aware of the situa-tion and. give the convoys a wide,berth.
It is learned that both passengerand freight ships sailing from NewYork are taking advantage of thesystem, picking up convoys a fewmiles out.
ATTACK ON NAVALSQUADRON
DENIAL .OF GERMANCLAIM
(Received September 29, 9 p.m.)
LONDON, September 28,No confirmation is obtainable in
London ,of the German claim of asuccessful attack on a heavy cruiser.This is presumably a continuationof the incorrect German claimsabout the North Sea naval and airengagement, in which there were
'no British casualties.A revised German communique
issued about the air attack OnBritish warships in the North Seastates:—“A 11001 b bomb scored adirect hit on a British aircraft-carrier, and two 5501 b bombs struckforward and midships of a battle-ship. It is easy to imagine what theconsequences must have been.”
The communique reasserts thatall the German’aeroplanes returnedsafely.
,
The Admiralty also denies therepeated claims of the Germans tohave sunk an aircraft-carrier in the,air raid oh Tuesday. In reply to theGerman question; “Where is theArk Royal?” it is officially stated inLondon that the aircraft-carrier isstill on her allotted station, un-damaged,
SWEDISH VESSELSUNK -
SUBMARINE ATTACKSSOVIET FREIGHTER
1 LONDON, September 28.' The Swedish cargo vessel Nyland,of 3325 tons, has been sunk outsideNorwegian territorial waters. TheNorwegian Admiralty announcedthat the vessel was seen to come toa standstill. Half an hour later anexplosion was heard,, Twenty-ninemembers of the crew took to theboats. They were towed by a Nor-wegian torpedo-boat to Stavanger.
A further Oslo message says thatthat , vessel was sunk by a Germansubmarine. German trawlers, itwas stated, passed_the crowded life-boats without giving aid.
It is assumed that the vessel wastorpedoed, as mines were not likelyto be. found in that area.
. Oslo reports that a German sub-marine was seen moving eastwardalong the coast of Norway. Ex-plosions were heard at sea, but itis''hot known whether they camefrom the submarine or whether theNorwegian coastguard had fired.
Moscow radio reports state thatthe freighter Poneer was attackedby a submarine and was beached onthe Estonian coast..Soviet warshipsrescued the crew.

(UNITED SBESS ASSOCriTIOK—COPSKIOHT.)
(Received September 29, 10.30 p.m.)
LONDON, September 28.The Basle correspondent of the
Associated Press of Great Britainsays that the movement of troopsand materials westward throughcentral Germany was at its heightto-night.
Reuter's Paris correspondent saysthat Holland has raised the level ofwater in canals at all strategicpoints to eliminate delay should thedefensive flooding of the countrysidebecome necessary. All roads fromGermany have been provided withanti-tank defences. Signposts havebeen removed for many miles fromthe frontier. . ~,.
German attacks east of Wissem-burg were blocked by a Frenchcounter-attack last night which en-veloped the Germans on three sidesand threw them back on the Lamercreek, reports the Paris corres-pondent of the Associated Press ofAmerica. , .
,Although the numbers engagedare reported to have been compara-tively small, this represents an im-portant German set-back. The Ger-mans earlier, supported by heavyartillery fire, had succeeded in forc-ing their.way through French ad-vance positions and gaining controlof an important railway junction.Had the French not succeeded in re-pelling the Germans the enemywould have been able to control thenetwork of highways behindWissemburg. .
A French communique states;“The night was generally quiet. Anenemy attack failed west of Saar-brucken. Our air force, co-operatingwith the British Air Force, broughtdown several enemy fighter aerorplanes on the afternoon of Wednes-day. There was activity by ourreconnaissance aeroplanes lastnight.”
„ ,.
Attack Near. PerlA further communique states that
last 'night the French attacked onthe extreme north of the line a few;miles from-the Luxemburg frontier.A local attack was made near Perl,good progress being made andprisoners taken. Artillery fire evi-dently supporting this attack washeard for many hours in Luxem-burg. ,
. .
Military commentators emphasisethe superiority of the Allied airforce and say that much valuableinformation : has been onreconnaissance flights which enablesthe French Command to estimate themovement of German troops to thefront.
. .. ,■ Casualties are not being reported
by the French; but it is emphaticallystated that they have been small.Spectacular actions are forbiddenand each local advance is carefullyplanned by artillery.
The French also emphasise thevaluable aid, given to the Allies bythe Poles. During the critical periodat the beginning of the war, Poland senergetic defence against the orga-nised forces of the Reich enabled theAllies to mobilise with the greatestpossible speed- and efficiency, .andcomplete complicated -aerial defencemeasures, and allowed the Britishforces to cross the Channel withouttrouble. ■:A correspondent of the BritishUnited Press from a neutral coun-try, who was one ot a partyneutral journalists invited to visitthe Siegfried . Line, states that theFrench are within 1300 yards ofSaarbrucken which,, like Zwei-brucken', has been completely de-serted by civilians. >
“Little Military Activity”“There is little military, activity
and no bridges or factories behindthese towns have been damaged, andthe countryside is peaceful,” statesthe correspondent. n“The party motored 200 milesalong the Siegfried Line. Everythingis camouflaged. There appear , to be1,000,000 Germans on the WestFront, half of whom are theBelgian and Luxemburg - borders.We saw nearly 100 emplacements invineyards near Treves. Petrol sta-tions have been converted intomachine-gun nests with massivewalls of steel and concrete from sixto 12 feet thick.”
The special correspondent of theAssociated Press of America, whoaccompanied the. party, states thatneither Saarbfucken nor Zwdi-brucken was hit during the party svisit. The German guide said that200 goods waggons filled with
and machinery- were leav-ing Saarbrucken daily without inter-ference from the French. Germanartillery from the heights command-ing the French positions five milesaway, returned a desultory fire.
Actual fighting on the WesternFront appears to have slowed to astandstill, but French aeroplanes areflying deep into German-territory,bringing back information of troopmovements.’
Some heavy artillery firing washeard north-east of Perl this after-noon.
Herr von Papen’s castle nearSaarlouis is under fire.

SOCIAL SECURITYSCHEME
MEDICAL PROFESSIONATTACKED
DOCTORS ACCUSED OFOBSTRUCTION
[From Our Parliamentary Reporter.]
WELLINGTON. September 29.Unless the Government took steps to
see that-the-full service provided inthe social security legislation wasgiven by the medical profession, itshould seriously consider handing backto the taxpayers spme part of the con-tributions at present being made, saidMr A. H. Nordmeyer (Government,OamarU) during the debate in theHouse of Representatives to-day onthe Social Security Amendment Bill.He urged that a stronger llne be takenby the Government, because takingcontributions at present was tanta-mount to false pretences.
The Minister for Health (the Hon.P. Fraser), speaking before Mr Nord-meyer, said, that the main- provisionof "the ■bill'was that of giving effectto a complete agreement on maternityservices that had been reached be-tween the Government and the medi-cal ‘ profession.
“It is a happy consummation of adifficult situation,’’ said Mr. Fraser.“The main featureis the contractinginof the whole medical profession. Alldifficulties between the Governmentand the medical profession ore not yetresolved, but- there are now no diffi-culties over the maternity services.We intend at - once to open negotiationswith the British Medical Associationover the general practitioner service.We think that it is better to negotiatethan to have war first and negotiateafterwards.” ■ , ,Mr Fraser concluded by* pay ins o.'tribute to officers of the Health De-partment and to the member for Dun-edin West (Dr. D. G. McMillan), whohad worked so assiduously to bringabout the settlement. He also ex-pressed his gratitude to officers of theBritish Medical Association.
Mr S. G. Holland (Opposition,Christchurch North) ■ Said that in solarge,an get as the original one therewere 1 bound to be anomalies whichwould become apparent only iu prac-tice. He suggested that more elasticityin the working of certain parts of thescheme should be provided, and quotedseveral' cases which, -he said, shouldhave been more generousjy .treated.
Doctors* Part‘ “It is an amazing circumstance thatsome of: the people who, are -mostanxious to have the provisions of .thesocial security scheme made,more gen-erous are the loudest in their condem-nation of the amount of money theState spends on the scheme and ofcontributions individuals are calledon to pay,” said Mr Nordmeyer. “TheGovernment realises that if it spenttwice as much on the scheme it wouldstill not do full justice to all who areentitled to it."
...
The. maternity benefits were anotherstep toward the full service that theGovernment promised the country. MrNordrrieyer said, but he was sorry thatdoctors had prevented the Govern-ment from making full .service avail-able, • '

PHARMACY BILLPASSED
PROVISIONS AFFECTINGSALE OF DRUGS
DEALINGS IN PROPRIETARYMEDICINES
r[From Our Parliamentary. Reporter.]
WELLINGTON, September 29.The provisions of the Pharmacy Bill
No. 2 had been evolved after almostcomplete agreement among the partiesconcerned with the sale of drugs andthe conduct of the profession, said theMinister for Industries and Commerce(the Hon. D. G. Sullivan), speakingon the bill in the House of. Repre-sentatives to-day. The bill, he said,was very largely a consolidation oiexisting laws, but there were somenew provisions. . „uTwo aspects of pharmacy were dealtwith in the main, the Minister said.They were the professional and com-mercial aspects. On the professionalside the bill was largely a consolidat-ing measure, but certain chases weremade in control, notably that the Phar-macy Board was increased by twomembers to a total of 12, and that abarrister and representatives of theworkers were to be included. Therewas also provision for appeals to bemade from decisions of the board.
The real controversy arose over meprovisions on the commercial side re-lating to the sale of drugs, but thathad eventually been overcome byagreement among the parties. Diffi-culties over the definition of what con-stituted a drug had been overcome byIncluding two schedules in the biu.
There was difficulty over those suo-stances which were sold by personsother than chemists, and the real aun-culty arose over who should have theright to sell proprietary medicines.Finality was reached when all partiesagreed that the decision should bemade by the Minister for Industriesand Commerce, but with the safeguardthat no decision would be made untilthe Minister had had discussion withall parties and until the Health Comjmittee of the House had been placedin possession oi/ the facts.
Herbalists’ Position“Chemists are of course the People
most concerned in this aspect, saiuthe Minister, “but I had to fell themthat they could not expect to be givena decision immediately.”
_
.The Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes (Opposi-
tion Hurunui): What about smallcountry towns where there is nochemist.
The Minister: There will be no diffi-culty about that. The clause givesthe Minister for Health, who will ad-minister the bill when it becomes law,cower to provide for that.
The Minister for Health, Said MrSullivan, would have wide powers toadjust any hardship that might becomeapparent. In the meantime, the statusquo was maintained for all vendors ofdrugs, and a clause had been Includedallowing herbalists who were membersof the Herbalists’ Association to con-
ti:Mr *hS.
PraGtiCeHolland (Opposition,
Christchurch North): Is there anythingto stop Chinese herbalists practising?
Tho Minister: Not if they are mem-bers of the association. I do not knowif they are members. The association,of course, has its own rules.
Mr W. J. Poison (Opposition, Strat-ford): What about so-called Indianhealers? •
~
(“Apparently some honourable mem-bers want me to go further, than thebill has gone,’: said the Minister.“There are a lot of healers who arenothing more than charlatans andquacks, and in the bill we are tryingto curb their activities.” _
Mr F. W.,Doidge (Opposition, Tau-ranga), who agreed that the bill waslargely non-controversial, commendedthe attempt made to rehabilitate chem-ists, one-third of whom, he believed,were actually on the breadline.
. Drags smd MedicinesDr D. G. McMillan (Government,
Dunedin West) said that one ot themain causes of the high prices of drugsin New Zealand was that large whole-sale houses got control of small shopsand charged what prices they liked.
“The worst. feature of the sale ofproprietary medicines In New Zea-land," he said, “is that many doctors’prescriptions contain proprietary drugsabout which often the doctor knowslittle. It seems that the day of thedoctor who doea his own dispensingIs fast disappearing.
“I hope that the Minister will actinstead ot opening the door forquackery," said Mr H. S. S. Kyle (Op-position, Rlcearton), la advocatingmodification of the clause dealing withherbalists not at present in business.He said that the Minister should notwait up til the introduction of aquackery prevention bill, because sucha measure would be opposed by manypeople who would swallow anythingprovided that it was sugar-coated. .
“I am sorry the bill does not preventthe advertising of drugs," said Mr T.H, McCombs (Government, Lyttelton)..He claimed that such advertising wasthe cause of misuse of certain drugs.
“We have the Stock Remedies Actin New Zealand, and we should havea similar one for human beings,” headded. “Man Is prevented from givingcertain preparations to a cow, but hecan give them to his wife or takethem himself,”
The bill was passed.

BRITAIN’S WARBUDGET
GOOD RECEPTION BYPRESS
TAX INCREASE SEEN
AS INEVITABLE
(BRITISH OraCllt V.TBV.LXBS.)
" 'RUGBY, September 28.It is broadly stated that the effect
of the war Budget is that in the cur-rent year an additional £665,000,000is to be raised by direct taxation, and£305,000,000 by indirect - taxation.Next year the direct taxpayer willpay £160,000,000 more than underthe last Budget, and indirect taxa-tion will yield an additional£665,000,000.
It is generally recognised that thisBudget represents only the first stepin the proposals of the Chancellorofthe Exchequer (Sir John Simon).
Among the critics there is agree-ment that the increase in direct tax-ation, as stated by Sir JohnSimon himself, was inevitable.
The “Manchester Guardian” states:“The Chancellor has been modest inthe increase in indirect taxes, andthis presses relatively lightly onworking-class families. No one cancomplain Mhat it is a capitalistBudget, or that it grinds the facesof the workers.”
“The Times” says: “At leastit can leave no doubt in anyforeigner’s mind about this country’sdetermination to buckle on its fin-ancial armour, however uncomfort-able it may be.”
The “Daily Telegraph” remarks;“It is evident that the whole scaleof the nation’s economy, private aswell as public, will have to be re-arranged, and the sooner the neces-sity is faced and wrestled with, theless will dislocation be apparent ofthe national war effort.”
"Grim Severity”Although the “Daily Herald” com-
plains that Sir John Simon’s clfoiceof individual taxes is weightedagainst the small and middle in-comes, this view is not shared by theother newspapers, where the pro-posals are studied in some quarterswith spefcial regard to the preserva-tion of sources of revenue and thelevel of the State's credit. The grimseverity of this first war Budget,however, has generally met with agood reception by the public.
“Though it serves notice that hardliving is ahead,” states the “News-Chronicle,” “the knowledge thatBritain is tackling her financialprob-lems in such a way-will maintainour credit abroad and 6onfirm thegeneral confidence that Britain willshoulder her burdens till victory isachieved.”
The National Union of Manufac-turers has appealed to Sir JohnSimon to modify his Budget pro-posals until normal trade has hadtime to adapt itself to war condi-tions.-.
APPROVAL INCOMMONS
LOWER BANK RATEWELCOMED
RUGBY, September 28.In the House of Commons debate
on the War Budget resolution, MrF, yf, PeVucK-Lawrence (Labour)said that the Chancellor of the Ex-chequer (Sir John Simon) was rightin deciding to start immediately withheavy new taxation. He, had im-posed unprecedented burdens, but,“unpalatable as they may be, I amforced to the conclusion that SirJohn Simon’s prospective taxationfor 1940-1941, of which he spokeyesterday, cannot be his last word.New direct taxes are recognised asnecessary, and indirect taxes mustand -will be borne with fortitude.”
The lowering of the bank rate ( to3 per cent, was also warmly wel-corned by Mr Pethick-Lawrencewho, however, urged the earlyrestoration of the pre-war rate of2 per cent. He showed concern thatin approaching the problem of warborrowing the Chancellor shouldsee that the Treasury, took appro-priate steps to keep'down interestrates, and this point was taken upby a Liberal speaker, Mr H. GrahamWhite, who also urged the im-portance of maintaining low inter-est rates.
Sir John Wardlaw-Milne (Con-servative) accepted the Budget withdeep resignation) saying that thewhole country was anxious to helpthe Government in every way.
Sir George Schuster (NationalLiberal) spoke of the Government’sresponsibility to have a well-pre-pared policy for mobilising the re-sources of the nation in such a wayas to keep them fully employed byabsorbing any left idle as a resultof the drastic curtailment of privateactivities which the Budget pro-posals would effect. •
Several speakers dwelt on theimportance of economy.
Sir John Simon,' winding up thegeneral debate, said that the raisingof the bank rate had enabled theGovernment to devise means of con-trol,of inflationary tendencies. Thepolicy was to borrow from thegenuine savings of the people atthe lowest rate obtainable.
“Direct taxation is going to inflictthe most frightful blow on a greatmany homes which may seem com-fortable and well appointed. Nodoubt the richer classes may haveto revise the scale, of their livesmaterially,” said the Chancellor,
Sir John Simon said he was grate-ful for the way in which the. Househad received the proposals. Ex-panding the statement he made yes-terday on the urgent need for eco-nomy and the avoidance of waste,he said that in a number of casesin recent months the financebranches of departments had beenstrengthened to enable them tomaintain control over their greatlyincreased expenditure^
He proposed to institute specialinquiries into those departmentswhere there was a case for investi-gation, and hoped to call on experi-enced businessmen to act with offi-cials of the .Treasury and represent-atives of the departments concerned.He pointed out that an investigationof this sort had already been insti-tuted in the Ministry of Information,and steps were being thken to _ se-cure a review of the war establish-ments of local authorities.

TURF GOSSIP
iReminderAcceptances for the Dunedin Jockey
Club’s spring meeting will close at 5p.m. on Monday.At Randwick To-day
The Australian Jockey Club's springcarnival will open at Randwick to-day. the six events being as follows:—First Hurdle Race, of £4OO, about twomiles; the Trial Stakes, of £SOO, onemile and a quarter; the A.J.C. Derby,of £SOOO, one mile and a half: theEpsom Handicap, of £3OOO, one mile;the Colin Stephen Stakes, of £ISOO.weight-for-age, one mile and a half;and the Kensington Handicap, of £7OO.seven furlongs. New Zealand willonce more be strongly represented,especially so in the Derby, in whichHigh Caste, Beau Vile, Wilson, andGold Salute are due to appear. It wasstated a little while ago that M. Mc-Carten was to ride Beau Vite, butaccording to a cable message yesterdaymorning, W. Cook is to have themount. McCarten beat A. E. Ellis onthe toss of a coin for the ride onthe Wellington colt, but it is likely thatMcCarten may be indisposed as wasthe case with him a few weeks back.In the meantime Ellis accepted themount on Gold Salute, and it wouldnot surprise Canterbury racegoers ifthe Washdyke colt brought about thedefeat of Beau Vite. who promises tobe sent out first choice. Gold Salutehas always indicated ability as a stayer,and that he is in his best form at pre-sent he has indicated by recent results.For once for many years, there willnot be a New Zealand candidate inthe Epsom Handicap, and Royal Chiefwill be the sole representative in theweight-for-age race. On paper thisevent looks a comfortable propositionfor the Riccarton horse, but accoi'dingto recent advice, he has not done aswell lately as eai’lier on the trip, andhe will not need to be off colour tohold off horses of the calibre of Mosaicand the Queensland champion stayer.Seven Fifty.High Opinion
Travel Talk, who figures in the nom-inations for the juvenile event at Mas-terton, is a half-brother by Bulandsharto Gay Son and Gayest, Son. and xexpected to be good. Gay Son, whorecently died, won the race two yearsago.Two Representatives
Mr R. J. Murphy will have two run-ners in the New Zealand Cup th! s year.Peerless and Hinerawe. Hineraweis a daughter of Oratrix, who won theCup for Mr Murphy in 1928.Aussie Ra
According to a New Plymouth re-port, P. Johnson has Aussie Ra in
splendid order at present. Though heis not being allotted any hard tasks,the gelding is doing plenty of solidwork. No definite plans have beenmade for him, but it is probable thathe will be figuring among the nomina-tions for the hurdle events at Tren-tham next month. Since resumingracing at Waverley last Labour Day,Aussie Ra has won three races, besidesbeing second in the Grand NationalHurdles and third in the WellingtonCup.Leading Trainer
The Te Rapa trainer, A. Winder, hasstarted the new season well, and hasalready won seven races, which placeshim at the head of the trainers’ list,and one in front of his nearest rivals,H. Dulieu and L. Knapp, who haveeach had six wins. Winder has a veryuseful team under his control withoutpossessing any stars, and looks likehaving a very successful year. Hiswinners this season have been GainesChoice (2). Hum-a-Song (2), Susan,Mio Lume, and Hunto.Arrangements Cancelled
Sly Fox, who was to have gone toAustralia for spring racing, is not nowmaking the trip and has been scratchedfor the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups.Sly Fox, who ha 8-2 in the New Zea-land Cup, had only 7-13 in the bigMelbourne two-mile race, but is nowundergoing a special prepai’ation forthe Mitchelson Cup at the AucklandRacing Club’s spring meeting atEllerslie next month.A Profitable Purchase
Seven Fifty, Queensland’s championstayer, has been sold to Mr C. H. Hicks,of Sydney. The purchase price has notbeen announced, but it is said to berbout £3OOO. He will go to Sydneyto be trained by B. R. Payten, ofRandwick. Seven Fifty cost W. T.Tacker 750gns—hence the name—andwon him £6525 in prize money. Hischief successes were the Q.T.C. Sires’Produce Stakes, Queensland Guineas.Q.T.C. St. Lege’- , National Plate, Q.T.C.Metropolitan Handicap, and Tatter-sail’s Cup. He has not been nomin-ated for the Dig events in the southin the spring, but will appear inothers.Benefit to Ireland

month that there would bo no inter-ference with racing in Ireland atpresent, unless the Eire Governmentdirected otherwise, and it was gener-ally expected that the season s pro-gramme would be carried through asarranged.
It was thought likely that if racingwere curtailed in England manyowners and trainers would transfertheir activities to Ireland, as was thecase during the last war. Mr J. V.Rank had already sent a dozen of hisjumpers to B. Fetherston, and therehad been inquiries from other ownersregarding the possibility of securingsuitable accommodation at the leadingtraining centres.Carrying On
The general attitude of sports con-trollers is that they are in the handsof the Victorian Government, andthey will do whatever the authoritieswish. Racing will go on as usual, ishow officials in Melbourne summed upthe war position. “There is no sug-gestion of even considering the mat-ter,” said Mr A. V. Kewney, secretaryof the Victoria Racing Club, “and wewill not do jo except under Govern-ment instruction. Racing officialspointed out that the turf in Australiais more than a sport. It is an indus-try—and a big one at that. No goodwould be served if there was any talkof restrictions. During the last warx-acing in Australia was carried on.There were a few minor curtailments,but they were not worth worryingabout. Thousands of people are em-ployed in the sport. I? there is anyhitch in the usual routine these peoplewill be swung out of employment,which would be’ disastrous. TheBritish and Australian Prime Ministersin their speeches to the nation (says aMelbourne newspaper) urged every-one to. go about his business in thesame way, calmly, as if nothing hadhappened. That is exactly what theracing industry will do.A Decisive Reply
On receipt of advice that the Gov-ernment would not review the rebateof 1 per cent, on totalisator tax, theMarton Jockey Club sent the follow-ing protest to the Minister for Finance:“The club views with the greatestalarm the cessation of the 1 per cent,refund to clubs from totalisatorrevenue and desires to impress uponthe Government the absolute necessityof continuing this refund to countryracing clubs throughout New Zealand.This club urges upon the Governmentthe necessity of continuing the refund,or at least a portion of it, to countryclubs, and is of opinion that the with-Afavjal TfixvsA. <x.the stakes offered, with a consequentfalling-off in totalisator revenue.” Areply from the Minister (the Hon. W.Nash) to the association's representa-tions stated that: “The concession wasgranted in 1932 to assist clubs inweathering the slump, as the clubshad represented that owing to theserious fall in totalisator investmentsthe percentage retained by clubs wasinsufficient to meet expenses. Themeasure was an emergency one andwas not intended to be permanent. Inview of the fact that investments havenow reached pre-depression level ithas been decided not to re-enact thelegislation, as it is considered thatwith the increased turnover clubsshould now be able to stand on theirown feet.”

SIGMUND FREUD
1856—1939(SPECIALLY WRITTEN FOR THE PRESS.)
IBy I. L. G. SUTHERLANDI
Topical interest attaches to thedeath of SigmundFreud through thefact that a year or so ago he yieldedto the entreaties of his friends, leftNazi Vienna, and sought refuge inEngland, a political and racial exile,serious ill, more than 80 years ofage. But his death would have at-tracted the attention of the worldwithout this element of pathos, forFreud and his theories have exer-cised a unique and far-reaching in-fluence on the contemporary humanoutlook. In the period between theending of the last war and the be-ginning of the present one Freud’sbasic ideas have, acknowledged ornot. affected all our thinking aboutman and his motives. If they havebeen disillusioning, they have beenso in the proper sense; namely, thatillusions about the extent of man’srationality have been destroyed.Freud’s contributions to psychologi-cal and to medical science have beenof such originality and significancethat they may well mark an epochin the understanding of humannature. One recent tribute to hisinfluence may be quoted. In theintroduction to his latest book. “TheFate of Homo Sapiens.” H. G. Wellsendeavours to estimate the changesthat have taken place in the worldhe contemplated 50 years ago. Aftersurveying the elaboration of man’sanalysis of the physical elements ofthe universe, he writes:
Thanks largely to Freud and hisdisciples and successors, there has been.an immense advance in our self-knowledge. I would put Freud sideby side with Darwin as a significantfigure in human enlightenment. Thesetwo men are cardinal not so much onaccount of the actual elucidations theyproduced but because of the questionsthey asked and the method of theirquestioning. Our knowledge first ofour own motives and impulses andthep of mass-thought and mass-actionhas become beyond comparison morelucid and practical, thanks primarilyto the initiatives of Freud.
New Basic ConceptionsFreud was the founder and the
main formulator of psycho-analysis,which is at once a system of theoryregarding man’s mind and a tech-nique of cure for a certain class ofnervous, and mental troubles. Thecentral conceptionof psycho-analysisis that of the dynamic unconsciousmind and its extensive influence. Inthe eighties of last century Freud,then a young physician in Vienna,was struck by the absence of anyhelpful form of therapy for nervousconditions. Studying in France heacquired the technique of hypno-tism and suggestion. and it was infirst using this method ,on patientssuffering from hysteria that Freudbegan to Tnake bis own discoveriesana to devise his - own methods. Hefound that neurotic subjects were
x suffering from hidden emotionalconflicts, conflicts that had been re-pressed because of their painfulnature; .This was the beginning.Out .of his extensive clinical ob-servations Freud, gradually elabor-ated a;: system of theory regardingthe dynamic forces of humannature, regarding character forma-tion, the motives of personal con-duct, and family and social rela-tionships. In detail his theoriesseem not without the element ofmythology and only a faithful fewaccept' them in their entirety; buttheir basic conceptions have carriedconviction to impartial minds every-
analysis ; Freud encountered bitteropposition through the open • stresshe had to lay on the tabooed sub-ject of sex,' though he explicitin extending the popular connotationof sex to include all that man has
: long included under the word- love.It is possible that unfair criticismand? boycott drove, Freud intosome, . early , - exaggeration. Ingeneral the ~ picture of the mindwhich he formulated is one of adynamic interplay of mental forces,some urging for gratification and
v others, under the influence of social_>-Treality, striving to prevent their
gratification. Basic instincts ' arethose otlove and aggression. Theirconflicts with conventional require-ments are intense, but unconscious,
’ There is in the unconscious mind. much more capacity for intense
passion and also for much more hateand savagery than we consciouslyknow. In moral terms, there is in
. man more good and more evil thansurface appearances indicate. In thedepths of his being he is both moremoral and more immoral than heknows and his motives in great partspring from these hidden depths,
■ All these conflicts in man begin inthe earliest years of life- and theinfluence of the emotional experi-
ences of childhood persists. Manyof the mechanisms by which what isunconscious indirectly influencesthought and action have beenilluminatingly demonstrated.
Art and EducationThe wave of popular interest in
psycho-analysis, intelligible enough,was not without some unfortunateresults; for misunderstanding wasinevitable. Many have thought thatFreudianism is a doctrine of licence.On the contrary, the effect ofphyscho-analysis is (and the moralnf it) to heighten self-control. Itdemonstrates the control of instinc-tual forces necessitated by civilisedliving. Applications of psycho-analysis soon extended beyond thesphere of the treatment of the neu-rotic disorders. Its significance foreducation was realised; and the edu-cator and the parent may now seehow profoundly important are theevents of the earliest years of ourexistence, the attachments thenformed,-and the extent to whichadult mentality may be determinedby the strategy and tactics of thegeneral educational process. Freudhas also illuminated the artisticactivities of mankind, helping to ex-plain the hidden motives alike of theartist and of his audience. He ap-plied his theories to the collectivelife of man. analysing the nature ofgroup activities such as religion andsocial institutions such as leader-ship. He speculated on the originof primitive society, offering here,however, the least convincing of hisformulations. His industry was im-mense. A bibliography of his writ-ings shows between 200 .and 300books and papers: contributions onsubjects ranging from the trivialitiesof everyday conduct to the deepestissues of life. Finally, in his lastbook he calmly psycho-analysed theanti-semitism of which he was him-self a victim
"A Pathway”Much of Freud’s work lacks the
precision of exact science. He wasphilosopher and artist as well asscientist. His genius lay in hisskilled observation and his deep in-tuitive understanding of the forcesof human nature. The study ofthose aspects of the mind to whichhe devoted himself has scarcely yetentered. the stage where the pre-cision and control of experiment ispossible. The fate of Freud’s actualtheories matters little: the newin-
vsight has been given. He was him-self modest enough about the futureof his theories. In his autobiographyhe wrote:
Looking back, then, over the patch-work of my life’s labours, I can saythat I have made many beginnings andthrown out many suggestions. Some-thing will come of them in the future,though I cannot myself tell whetherit will be much or little. I can. how-ever, express a hope that I have openedup a pathway for an important ad-vance in our knowledge.
Hatred and DestructionIn this present critical time one
cannot but think of the relation ofFreud’s ideas to man’s crowning
irrationality, war, its cause and cure.Does he seem to offer any prospectof extricating civilisation from thepredicament in which it now findsitself? In 1932 the InternationalInstitute of Intellectual Co-opera-tion attached to the League ofNations proposed that ProfessorEinstein should invite a person,chosen by himself, to a frank ex-change of .views on any problemwhich Professor Einstein mightselect. The problem chosen was:Is there any way of delivering man-kind from the menace of war? AndProfessor Einstein chose to corres-pond with Professor Freud. Aboutthe cause of war Freud was definite;about the cure, hesitant. “You areamazed,” he wrote to Einstein, “thatit is so easy to infect men with thewar fever, and you surmise thatman has in him an active instinctfor hatred and destruction, amenableto such stimulations. I entirely agreewith you. I believe in the existenceof this instinct and have been re-cently at pains to study its mani-festations.” While one may ventureto doubt whether the full cause ofwar is to be found in the subjec-tive life of man, one may hold tothe belief that all that can be knownof that life will be of value in solv-ing what has become mankind’sgreatest problem, one which, un-solved, may well involve civilisationin disaster.

Prophet and Orator
Edmund Burke. By Sir Philip Magnus. John Murray. 367 pp. (22s 6d net.)
Sir Philip Magnus’s new bio-graphy of Edmund Burke is enrichedby research into papers which havehitherto not been available. Nolife of Burke could be in any waysatisfying or complete unless it at-tempted to describe conditions mthe England of his day and the cir-cumstances that surrounded andinfluenced a man who escaped beingtruly great because his remarkablebrain was ever at the mercy of hisheart and his unstable emotions.Burke being the product of his poli-tical times, it is not easy for thestudent of his life to reconcile hisapparent lack of principle in certainmatters with the lofty purpose thatinformed so many of his public ac-
' tions. He could not escape thestigma of the nepotism, graft, andplace-seeking that were part andparcel of politics in the England ofthe eighteenth century. Judged bypresent-day standards, many of hisactions appear in the greatest de-gree culpable. But it would bemanifestly unfair to judge him apartfrom an environment in whichpatronage was rife, seats in Parlia-ment were saleable posts of privi-lege and profit, and influence wasalmost the' first necessity for em-barking on a political career. Threethings' contributed to the personaldifficulties that so pressedand hampered Burke’s career: first,his lack of money; second, the sin-cerity and selflessness both of hisfriendship for' persons who were ahindrance to him and of his familyrelationships: third, the emotionalinstability that betrayed his judg-ment and drove him to aberra-tions of public conduct. He paidthe penalty in losing the sympathiesof those whom it was his chief wishto influence. On the other sidemust be measi red his remarkablequalities of heart and brain, hisgreat powers of oratory, and thefighting spirit that would never al-low him to admit defeat. In the
storm of controversy with which hislife was almost continuously sur-rounded, these latter qualities stoodhim in great stead. Unburdened byfinancial necessity and personal idio-syncrasy, Burke, with his amazingpower of political thought, his giftof penetration into political prob-lems, and his capacity to expoundthem clearly both in speech and inwriting, would undoubtedly havebeen even a greater figure than hewas. As it was he must be re-membered more as a theoretical andprophetic exponent of statecraftthan as a statesman. Nevertheless,he achieved much for which he de-serves the grateful recognition andremembrance of his countrymenboth Irish and English. His bio-grapher, while not neglectingBurke’s failings, has done much toplace his achievements in a clearerand juster light.
LITERARY GOSSIP
In the last series of “Essays andStudies” issued by. the English As-sociation, Mr JVC. Smith, in a papercomparing Scott, and Shakespeare,has some acute things to say onShakespeare’s progress in personalfastidiousness-’ •
.: I mentioned that Scott was heartyeater and drinker* and at times aheavy smoker. Now it is. a remarkablefact that Shakespeare never oncealludes to. tobacco. His fellow drama-tists mention it often, and EJpenser goesout of his way in the “Faerie Queene”to pay a tribute to “divine Tobacco.’’But Shakespeare never refers to it. Yethow easy it would'have been for himto bring it in, in some metaphor orsimile, had he believed like Spenserin its virtues! Are we to infer that hedisliked tobacco? A question not to beanswered. His attitude to drink, how-ever, is clear enough, and very inter-esting it is. Up to 1600 wine is a goodcreature, a royal prince may desiresmall beer, and a drunk man is a comicsight. Then coiries a sudden change.It begins in . “Hamlet.” His uncle’sdrunken bouts .disgust Hamlet;drunkenness soils the Danish namewith swinish phrase. Cassio getsdrunk, with tragic consequences; andwe sCem to hear Shakespeare’s ownvoice in his cry, “O God, that menshould put ’an enemy in their mouthsto steal away their brains!” There aretwo drinking-songs in the tragedies;and what songs! , ... In “Troilus”Shakespeare’s disgust with the thingsof sense seems to extend to food. Thereare 44 references to or images fromfood in this play, by Miss Spurgeon’sreckoning. More than half of themare distasteful. What "distastes” himmost is staleness, fustiness, rottenness(in eggs or fruit), and above all greasi-ness. All his physical distastes seemto be connected with his acute sense ofsmell. The change in Shakespeare’sattitude to dr/ok coincides with a stillstranger change in his attitude to love.
Another of the papers in thisvolume of “Essays and Studies” isone by the poet, T. Sturge Moore,on Matthew Arnold. It closes:
Now as I close his books which Ionce knew so well, I resolve in futureto reopen them frequently, and feellike Dr. Williams, the Old head of Jesus(College), who said audibly after apause when Arnold finished his lastlecture on Celtic Poetry, “The Angelend - ...”
The angel ended and in Adam’s eprSo charming left his voice that he
awhileThought him still speaking.
So his voice remains for me more realthan-that of any of his contemporariestill it seems I have actually heard,nay, still hear him speaking.
Old Q, as Christopher Morley pet-names himself in the “Trade Winds”section of the "Saturday Review piLiterature,” reports as his “favouriteslice of Swiss,” during 'one of theweeks of July, a “guileless critiqueon Thorne Smith” in a new cheapof “Topper”:
We read there: “It has been saidthat his [Thorne Smith’s! frank, un-abashed approach to the problem ofsex has done more to clarify that per-plexing issue than anything sinceHavelock Ellis’s work.” We can scarce-ly conjecture who can have saidthis: presumably someone who. hadnever read either of those writers. It.would give good old Thorne a gorge-ous-scream of mirth to hear that hiswaggish farces were clarifying anissue*
A bulletin from the SovietPavilion at the World’s Fair saysthat the six American writers mostread in .Russia are MarkTwain, JackLondon. O. Henry, Upton Sinclair.Theodore Dreiser, and Ernest Hem-ingway. In the three yearsf 1935-38.more than 1,500,000 copies of booksby Mark Twain were sold in theSoviet Union. It appears • thatAmerican writers are more popularin Russia than those of any otherforeign nation.
A classic American cookery book.Fannie Farmer’s “Boston CookBook,” has gone through 54 editions,totalling nearly 2.000,000 copies,since 1896. A critic notes in thechanges of successive revision, inter-esting evidence of change in dietand taste. In the first edition therewas only one salad; in the latestthere are eight pages of fruit-saladsalone. ’!
At a luncheon of the Royal So-ciety of Literature silver medals,founded in memory of A. C. Benson,were presented to two young poets,John Gawsworth and ChristopherHassall. Mr Hassall, who has alsobeen awarded- the HawthorndenPrize for his “Penthesperon,” is ason of John Hassall, the artist.
Loi’d David Cecil has recentlyrecorded his estimate that Bennett’s"The Old Wives’ Tale” is the bestEnglish novel of this century. Hisreason is interesting: the bookchanged the ugly Midlands for him,throwing the colour of romanceover what had. previously seemedwholely uninspiring and dreary.
Approximately six weeks afterpublication in America, John Stein-beck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” hadbeen sold to British, Dutch, French,Italian, Polish, Rumanian, and Scan-dinavian publishers. Mr Steinbeckhas refused to sell the rights forpublication in Germany.
It 1 seems incredible, but is cred-ibly reported, that
,both _ Edna
Millay’s poetry—or some of it—andPearl Buck’s “The Good Earth”have been translated intp Hebrew.
Several additions of varied medi-cal interest, reports the librarian ofthe Canterbury Public Library, arePaul Winterton’s “Mending Minds,an investigation into the social con-ditions of mental hospitals of to-day; Frigyes Karinthy’s “A JourneyRound My Skull,” an account of anoperation for. tumour on the brain;Ulric Williams’s “Hints on HealthyLiving,” an outline of how healthcan be obtained by proper exerciseand diet; and.

THE FARMER’S WIFE
A New Zealand Country Woman’s Cal-endar. By Anne Eamcliff Brown.Whitcombe and Tombs Ltd. 262 pp.(7s 6d.)
Mrs Brown’s description of lifeon a North Canterbury farm will bewidely appreciated both here andoverseas. Indeed, it has alreadyfound many readers, and gone intoa second edition. It is a frank,humorous picture of the day to dayevents in the life of a farmer’s wife.In the background are the seasons,winter, spring, summer, and autumn,each with its special charms and itsmultiplicity of duties in the fields andthe garden and among the animals.Cooking, sewing, and cleaning fea-ture more prominently in the pic-ture; but the main interest centresupon the human relationships be-tween the members of the family andtheir neighbours.
Not everyone will share MrsBrown’s enthusiasm for quotingpoetry and slipping in recipes. Per-haps, however, this was done withan eye to the market. To judge bythe wireless programmes there seemsto be a quite insatiable demand forrecipes. The sentimental poetry ismore difficult to account for, since
Mrs Brown’s own writing is ad-mirably clear and direct.
Fifteen photographs of variousparts of Canterbury are an excel-lent addition to the book.
CHINA FIGHTS ON
“THIS LAND IS OURS”
The People’s War. By J. Epstein.Gollancz. 384 pp. (7/6 net.)
The chief merit of Mr Epstein’sbook above the numbers writtenabout the “special undeclared war”raging in China is its completeness.His history comes down to May ofthis year and includes not onlymilitary events of every scale, fromthe prolonged siege and set battleto the method of derailing a train,but all the means whereby allChinese are being led to join in thecry, “This Land is Ours.” Encour-agement by song and music, thetraining of boys and girls, the en-lightenment of the peasantry, thesuppression of disloyalty andtreachery, especially among Chin-ese accepting responsibility fromJapanese, and, above all, the unionof fighters of many politicalcreeds: by the use of such meansChina must win, although themilitary tide cannot yet be turnedbecause the balance of strikingpower is still in favour of theJapanese. That is Mr Epstein’sconclusion. He is strongly pro-Chinese, and his position as UnitedPress correspondent enabled him tosee many of the events he de-scribes, at least to witness eachkind of typical action. Thus hesaw an army gi’ow from a familygroup. of six to thousands, and hesaw roads ploughed and planted sothat the advance of Japanesemechanical forces was halted. Thushe attended gatherings • where theold national songs gave heart and amotive to the timorous, and helearnt the technique of destroying arailway line without explosives:
Fascist barbarism has engulfedcountry after country, destroying thenational independence, democraticrights, and human dignity of peopleafter people. But it is not on allfronts that the forces of progress havesuffered set-backs. China is ono-flff.hof mankind and China fights on.Capitulation would have sealed herfate as a nation. By resistance theChinese people have not only retainedbut are strengthening their independ-ence. For the first time in their his-tory they are approaching democracy.
EMERSON
(SPECIALCy WIUTTEI[By R. G.
N FOB- THE PRESS.)C. MeNAB]
Emerson, preacher, essayist,friend, philosopher, admired Eng-land much. (Many would deny himthe title of philosopher, none wouldbegrudge calling him a preacher,and all who knew him well wereglad and proud to call him friend;his loyalty and generosity weremagnificent') He had a lifelong curi-osity about the English; he praisedtheir pluck and self-sufficiency, andtried to know all the Englishmenwhom he could meet. His book,“English Traits,” 1856, is a record,generally of virtues, that is. accept-able from any American. A hun-dred years ago, when he was ayoung man, he paid his first visit toEngland and waited upon Coleridge,Carlyle, and Wordsworth. Carlylewas his respected favourite. He ac-cepted the “hero” theory of humanhistory: “All history resolves itselfvery easily into the biography of afew stout and earnest persons. Hetried to persuade Carlyle to visitAmerica, and later spent some of hisscanty money to forward the publi-cation of Carlyle’s books. On alater visit he approached these greatmen with less awe. Indeed, he con-sidered that Wordsworth in old agehad paid for his rare elevation “bygeneral tameness and conformity.Wordsworth had quoted his versesat Emerson without pity, had donevery little else, but there were afew flashes of entertainment whenhe spoke of other eminent Victorians.Coleridge he sometimes thought tobe insane, and Carlyle wrote mostobscurely and defied everybody’ssympathies. “Even Mr Coleridgewrote more clearly, though he hatjalways wished Coleridge wouldwrite, more to be understood.”
Preacher and ProphetEmerson was preacher and
prophet for more than 40 years. At26, in 1829, he was ordained a Uni-tarian pastor. Four years later hequarrelled with his charge about thesacrament of the Lord’s Supper andresigned his office, but not his func-tion as preacher. This he continuedtill his death in 1882, a prophet hon-oured in his own country and abroad.To-day his preachings and prophe-cies* are not so much revered.Despite his honesty and his obvioussincerity in speaking his mind, hisincessant eloquence or magniloqu-ence is rebuffing. He cannot beblamed for preaching by word ofmouth and writing. Preaching washis surest means of earning money;his audiences expected eloquenceand he had to live up to his repu-tation; preaching and philosophis-ing tendencies were in his blood(his father and six other ancestorswere pastors); he was affected bythe earnest, hero-worshipping atti-tude of his hearers, most of whomdesired to be edified; his own prj-vate bent of thought, as his “Jour-nals” show, was to clothe improv-ing thoughts in fine language. Yethe spoke out, sometimes daringly.Thus he deplored the departure ofspirit from the Church of Eng-land (“apes and players rustlingthe - old garments at the oldshrines”); he could call prayers “adisease of the will” and creeds “adisease of the intellect,” and he re-peated that under civilisation the
•Christian loses energy. Too oftenEmerson is highly abstract, rarelyand too scantily anecdotal, contentwith small illustrations, and mention-ing names famous in literature or his-tory with no quotation, no exegesis,no criticism. Sometimes he is down-right mawkish. (“As long as I heartruth, I am bathed by a beautifulelement.”) His subjects, “Worship,"“Fate,'’ “Power,” are rarely madedefinite by a vivid sidelight. Occa-sibnally an epigram or aphorism,often self-conscious, diversifies thesermon, (“Our intellectual’and ac-
Philosopher and Friend,Admirer of England
tive powers increase wjth our affec-tion.”) Or there is a string ofpointed adjurations or confessions.At times these oracular utteranceshave the echo of Carlyle in theirBiblical sonority. More often theyare like Montaigne’s crisp phrases, alikeness no doubt cultivated; forwhen Emerson nrst read Cotton’stranslation of Montaigne he ex-claimed, “It seemed to me. as if Ihad myself written the book, insome former life, so sincerely itspoke to my thought and experi-ence.”
Emerson’s imposing style, impos-ing now by eloquence, now by per-suasiveness or positiveness, is, ifanalysed, not always convincing;some assertions are hard to justify,and are left unjustified by theirmaker. “The good, by affinity, seek
the good; the vile, by affinity, thevile. Thus, of their own volition,souls proceed into heaven, intohell.” A logician would find it hardto support “affinity,” “thus,” voli-tion" in that statement. And thereare many questionable statementsthat are passed by in the smoothstream of Emerson’s words. Themere construction of his essays—thearresting beginning, tbe easy devel-opment, and the high-toned conclu-sion—is brilliant enough to distractthe casual eye, and the apparentgenerosity, the large, disarmingconcessions—these graceful tacticsdiscourage the seeker after real,fresh meaning. Emerson is not sharpor hard enough.
The JournalsYet Emerson himself deplored
mere wordiness and abstractness.He spoke to an audience of divin-ity students about an emptypreacher;
He had no one word intimating thathe had laughed or wept, was married
or in love, had been commended, orcheated, or chagrined. If he had everlived and acted, we were none thewiser for it. The capital secret of hisprofession, namely, to convert life intotruth, he had not learned.
That condemnation is too severeto be applied to its originator, butit is not entirely inapplicable. Emer-son’s private writings show quiteanother man, a man absorbed insmall, actual things like planting arow of peas, keeping a close watchon stock exchange reports, criticis-ing Alcott’s method of building anarbour, congratulating the village,the famous Concord, on the birthof a new son. Emerson was reallydelighted by small-town life. Hewas proud of his Concord, zealousin doing honour to its first greatman, Thoreau, and zealous in try-ing to draw useful men to it as hedrew Alcott and Hawthorne. Hetried to draw Carlyle and wasarmed with every piece of informa-tion; he knew what houses were tolet and what was the rent of each.This small-town leader became fora time his country’s greatest philoso-pher, her most successful spiritualleader. With an intellectual equip-ment less than Ruskin’s and cer-tainly less knowledge, he gained farmore influence and affected morepeople more deeply. There wereprobably two special reasons forhis success. The first was that he
spoke and taught with great emo-tional intensity, an intensity moreperceptible when he spoke thanwhen he wrote. Into convincingpeople by speech he threw the ar-dour he had lost when, after threeyears of ideally happy married life,his first wife died. With his secondwife he was gentle, devoted, affec-tionate; but the high ecstasy hadgone. It is unlikely that, if his firstwife had lived, Emerson would havetravelled so far and so long topreach. Preaching was his greatestsatisfaction, no doubt his greatestpassion after her death. The secondwas that he knew well all kinds ofAmericans, he shared their inter-ests and occupations, he was athome in their communities, andlofty as he seemed when he stoodop his platform and spoke his sol-emn, uplifting words, he had abouthirrrthe air of the ordinary Ameri-can. refined and exalted. He hada high-sounding name, Ralph WaldoEmerson; but he raised lettuce andpears in Concord, New Hampshire.

Out in Minnesota the farmers aretough, or' they were a few yearsago. If a mother shows affectionfor her child, beat her; if a youthshows any talent, thrash it out ofhim; if a man shows courtesy to awoman, jeer at him; if a lad showskindness or thoughtfulness, thrusthim in the mire. Brutal, crude,churlish are most of the charactersin “Wind Without Rain.” Thisnovel has a certain rough power,hammered home by unrelievedmisery and violence, and expressedby piling up episode upon episodeof unrelieved gloom. However, itseems true enough and the authorseems to have toiled with his hap-less hinds and to have suffered withhis ill-fated hero. This story hastwo faces. The first is the country-side whereon a benighted com-munity sweats and grinds in theharsh rhythm of making a meagresubsistence. ,In this countrysideeach detail is real: the wind-sweptbarn, the tattered hedge, thestruggling beasts, the bleak churchand its bleaker doctrine, the robustand wanton amusements in snowand sunshine, and the incessant de-mands of the crops. The - other igthe family whose story is told auto-biographically by a crippled son. Amalignantly suspicious and oppres-sive father hounds his family tillthey rebel or run away. One sonhas musical talent crushed (till hecan earn a dollar or two) by hisiron-handed father. Tragedy befallsthe son in his excursions into affec-tion. Dostoievsky created no char-acter more sombrely brutal than thefather. Once when'he picked up astove lid to hurl at his son becausehe played a waltz, the mother in-tervened. “You like to hurt him,don’t you, Johan? Hurt me instead;you like that better.” Those whoare happiest when miserable will bedelighted with “Wind Without Rain.”
A Choice of New Novels
JONTY | 1Jonathan North. By J. L. Hodson.
Gollancz. 575 pp. (8s Gd net.)
In this ample story there is aston-ishingly little waste. Mr Hodsonnever drifts, never flattens; the thin-nest spread of interest is plentiful,the thickest is lavish. It is all pro-vided in the character and career ofJonathan North, the Lancashire lad.Jonty is a striking mixture of quali-ties. Ruthless, unscrupulous, dar-ing, tenacious, tough as he is, he cannot only feel the prick of generousand idealistic motives but respond tothem. He has a heart. Mr Hodsondoes not pretend to fine psycho-logical analysis. But he managesJonty with an energetic clevernessthat keeps him always alive, alwayson the move, and always plausiblyso. For example, the young schemerwho begins to pick a fortune fromselling ice cream and sweets is notmore credible than the youth whodecides that his place is at hisfather’s sidein the coal-pit. The manwho fought his way to wealth as awar profiteer is recognisably trans-formed into the man who is impelledto fight in the trenches. It is Jontywho establishes himself as a magnatein the financial and political world,and Jonty still who does extraordin-ary things to upset it—helpinghunger-marchers to elect theirleader to Parliament and exposingthe rotten heart of politics. AndJonty’s best happy landing is hismatrimonial one. He makes a badmarriage but steps out of it and backinto the romance of his Lancashireboyhood. The best in Jonty,a Lan-cashire best, keeps on asserting it-self. That is his life and his luckin life.
Mr Hodson’s story is racy androbust. Any reader who has a specialliking for the Lancashire character,its humours and roughness and sen-timent, will relish it uncommonly.

The Miracle of Brean. By ErnestRaymond. Cassell. 346 pp. (10s.)Through" Whitcombe ana TombsLtd.
Mr Raymond’s is a love story,but an unusual one. Moving intomiddle age, Lettie Mtadowes hadnot known love and her' futureseemed to lie before her marked innarrowing lines of solitude, smallfriendships, small enjoyments andconcerns, and cheerful godliness.Then she encountered Robert Chan-cey, a blinded soldier, out of whosemarriage joy had faded and left itcold'. They fell in love' and werehappy in love. But Robert was in-capable of deep and lasting love andLettie was saved from bitter disillu-sion only by “the miracle of Brean”—her discovery that love could livewithout finding its full answer inanother heart, and that this, if therecould not be more, was enough.“Sometimes, in subsequentdays, thepeople of Brean remembered MissMeadowes and her capture of -poorblind Mr Chancey, because it made atopic for laughter/' But Mr Raymondwill allow no reader to laugh, nor tothink of Lettie Meadowes, carrying-her child to Italy, as a lonely or un-blessed woman.

BEWILDERED ARTIST
Journey Through Life. By AmedeeOzenfant. Gollancz. 398 pp. (16/-nct.)
The conception of a swarm seemsbe one that obsesses Mi* Ozen-
fant. Among his chief ambitions andpreoccupations has been ■ theachievement of his painting, “Life.”There are in “Journey ThroughLife” several illustrations of this pic-ture at various stages, and they areremarkable for a closely packedmass of intertwined, inter-actingfigures of human beings representedin various family and social rela-tions. It is hard to interpret thesetangled groups further than tonotice that they .depict large num-bers of powerful creatures whohave very few joint or coherent pur-poses. It is in some such Why thatMr Ozenfant has been impressed byhis world. He is an artist, a writeron aesthetic subjects, and a veryclose observer of the Europeanscene. This disgusts him. For fouryears, 1931-1934, he kept a very full
,-diary of events that happened mGermany and France; and he wasmuch distressed by the rise ofHitlerite force and prejudice and by
the corruption and venality ol_French politics. However, these re-corded events, supported as they areby many footnotes which amplifyor confirm predictions, are not nowthe most interesting part of Jour-ney Through Life.” More affectingis the passion of the artist who, in
days that now seem relatively calm,was moved to tears of pity and in-dignation by the wickedness andfolly about him. On the whole theautobiography is disappointing, ex-cept in the revelation of a sensi-tive character, for Mr Ozenfant, de-spite the emphasis of quoted illus-tration and personal conviction, haslittle to impart, either in comfortor in suggestion. The nearest thathe comes to a conclusion is to say,“Delphi in Greece suggests that theperfect form of human society willarise when there is complete agree-ment between the individual anathe community within the frame-work of forces prescribed for themby nature.” . , A

THE WORLD’S FAIR
Former New Zealander’sSystematic Survey
A recent article on this page dealt with the experiences ofMr R. Victor Thompson, formerly of Linwood, when he was
■interned in Germany during the last war. He is now living inNew York and intends to see the World’s Fair from beginning,to end. It is interesting to note that a New Zealanders’ Club,witl. 40 members, has just been formed in New York.
THE not inconsiderable ambitionof seeing every exhibit andsideshow in New York's
World’s Fair is cherished by Mr R.Victor Thompson, son of Mr E.Thompson, oi ChrisWhwvch, who tsnow an officer of the dispatching de-partment of the New York under-ground railway. With his family,Mr Thompson visits the World’sFair each Tuesday, his weekly dayoff, and, with the assistance of extrapairs of shoes and foot powder,systematically covers a section ofthe great exhibition.
. Thousands of New Yorkers aredoing the same, and Americans fromevery state make as many trips aspossible under the special conces-sion fare schedules to the newMecca, They may enter the groundsof the fair as early as 8 o’clock inthe morning and stay until the earlyhours lof the following day—butthey certainly will not in that timesee all that is to be seen. It is ex-traordinary how the World’s Fairhas become a part of the life of theNew Yorker, Mr Thompson remarksin a letter to his father. The LongIsland railroad runs non-stop ex-presses from Pennsylvania station tothe World’s Fair station for 10 cents,and they run every few minutes.The fair itself provides a fleet ofbuses which will tarry visitors allround the fair for/lO cents each. The
“The World's Fair in New York is to differ from most World Fairsin being a forward-looking display," says Mr H, G. Wells, writingin the “New York Times.” “Its keynotes are not history and glory,hut practical anticipation and hope. It is to present the World ofTtHMorrow. It Is arranged not indeed as the visible rendering ofa Utopian dream—-there is to be nothing dreamlike about ft—-butto assemble before us what pan be done with human life to-dayand what we shall almost certainly be able to do with It,-If wethink fit, in the near future. It is, tp go back to the originalmeaning of the word, a prospectus, the prospectus of to-morrow.«Is a promotion show.” The photograph shows Constitution Mail,
the main avenue of the fair.has its own railroad, connecting
with the city-owned subway atforest Hills,f “Poor Man's Paradise"
“New York City went crazy on aclean-up drive," Mr Thomson wrote,The city was determined to show Itsbest face to the mapy visitors fromall parts of the world. For the earlypart of the fair more than 1,000,000tulips were planted along the boule-vards*, They.were In turn replacedby pansies, roses, and other flowers
?eason advanced,; “Theworld’s Pair is in truth a poor man'sparadise, for you can enjoy yourself*or ,a whole day for one dollar 30cents, There are 00 odd 'pay con-cessions' with an average admissionof 23 cents. The free exhi-tuts include the three-score coun-tne* m the Government zone andabout ->2 occupants of the court ofstates,- The Industrial exhibits arefree, as are the City of Light, theigloo of To-morrow, the Dairy.world of To-morrow, etc, , , , Thefair itself is divided into three zonesapd served with miles of well-pavedroads and drives.
“In one of the tobacco buildingsthey turn out 1,000,000 cigarettes aday . . a modern dairy farm. ... anentire orange grove, where the treeswill bloom and bear fruit all thesummer. . . . We walked and wewalked and, we walked, and afterthat we rode and rode and then wewalked some more,” said Mr Thomp-son, describing his first visit to thefair.
It is usually necessary to wait anhour in the queue outside the Gen-eral Motors building, where, in atravelling chair, the visitor is takenthrough the highways and the by-ways of to-morrow. Railway exhi-bits. including the Coronation Scot,French and Italian streamlinedtrains, and the C.P.R. locomotivewhich took the King across Canadaare popular.
Industrial TroublesThe World’s Fair has had its in-
dustrial troubles. Until the middleof last month it had a cadet corpsof picked college graduates, whomarched round the grounds with“swagger sticks” and were knownas information men. They were dis-missed as part of the fair’s new bud-get-trimming policy, and as a pro-test waded in the fountains in Con-stitution Mall, Another incident wasa mishap to the parachute-jump ma-chine through which two patronswere kept in the air from 11,30 p,m,until four next morning.
One of the most spectacular fea-tures is the proving ground formotor-cars, They race at full speedover a sixth of a mile, which in-cludes a concrete hill, Breath-tak-ing “stunts" include a motor-carjumping over a motor-truck froman incline, The fair makes an ex-cursion into the field of prophecywith its elevated highways:—-theroads of to-morrow, Over theseroads one may be driven in the mostmodern cars, and from them an ex-cellent view of the fair is obtained,
Here is a piece of American in-genuity applied to railway transport.No passenger tickets are necessaryfor trips between Pennslyvania andthe World’s Fair, a distance of morethan 20 miles, A “nickel"—2Jd—in-serted in the automatic turnstileadmits an intending passenger tothe platform from which the trainleaves,'and no further payment. isnecessary on the train. If he leavesthe platform at the World’s Fairstation he will have to pay anothernickel for the return trip. If he doesnot leave the platform, and goes toand from the World’s Fair, or viceversa, “just for the ride," it willcost him only the single nickel.

THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN GERMAN
(appeuwr WHITTEN HOB TUB PHESB,)
[By C.R.S.]
THE Chatham Islands, which formport of the Lyttelton electorate,and are only 467 miles off the
Canterbury coast, would ba Germanterritory to-day if a colonisationscheme of 100 years ago had cometo fruition. This interesting frag-ment of their country’s history isunknown to most. New Zealanders,but housed in the General AssemblyLibrary in Wellington is the originalagreement for the sale of the islandsto a German colonising company.The British Government stopped thesale, although the islands had notuntil then been declared Britishterritory,
,The idea of a German settlementon the islands originated with theNew Zealand Company in 1839 afterit had sent off the first emigrantships with settlers to occupy thelands it had bought at Wellington.The company decided that if itcould sell land to Gei’man settlersas well as British it might as welldo so.. Accordingly, in December,1830, it arranged for Herr Brockel-mann to act as its agent at Bremenand had its publicity pamphlets,vaunting New Zealand as an idealplace for colonisation, translatedinto German. At this stage the ideawas merely that Germans might beincluded among the settlers in NewZealand Itself.
the New Zealand Company and HerrSieveking, Syndic of Hamburg, asagent for a proposed Germancolonising company which was tobuy the islands. Having gone sofar, the New Zealand Company in-structed its secretary to find out theviews of the British Governmentabout the proposed transfer. LordStanley, of the Colonial Office, wasnotified that the company “was intreaty with certain parties connectedwith Hamburg and the other freecities of Germany ....
for the saleof the group of islands in the SouthSeas known toy the name of the Chat-ham Islands, their property in whichwas acquired, by bona fide purchasefrom the natives."
The arguments put forward toLord Stanley in favour of makingthe Chatham Islands German pro-vide interesting reading in the lightof the events of 1914 and 1939, Theobject, stated the company, was togive useful neighbours to thesettlements established in New Zea-land, and the free cities of Germanywere being negotiated with becausethey were “communities little likelyto be animated at any time bypolitical hostility to Great Britain."Another letter, from the agent forthe Hanse towns, stated that Germancolonisation of the Chatham Islands“would tend to remove an Injuriousfeeling against Great Britain inGermany which had been* caused byher monopoly of desirable placesfor colonisation, and which mightlead to commercial retaliation byGermany,”
Purchase from MaorisWithin a year, however, the com-
pany seized upon the idea of a sepa-rate entirely German settlement.The New Zealand Company couldbuy no more land in New Zealandafter the arrival of Governor Hob-son at the end of January, 1840, butit sent Captain E. D. Hanson to buythe Chatham Islands, which were
\ outside the boundaries of New Zea-land as defined by the Governor’sproclamations. Captain Hanson re-ported the success of his mission ina letter from Wellington on JuneIS, 1840.
The new scheme was so far ad-vanced by October, 1841, that anagreement was approved between
Rebuff from GoveftimentIf the directors of the New Zea-
land Company thought that theBritish Government would calmlyagree to its proposal they weregreatly mistaken. Lord Stanley in-formed them that their charter didnot permit them to negotiate withthe diplomatic agents of a • foreignState for the creation of a foreigncolony'near British settlements. Thelaw officers of the Crown consideredthat there had been an interferencewith the Royal, prerogative.
Chatham Islands Scheme of 100kYears Ago
In spite of this rebuff, whichbrought from the company a replythat Its intentions hod been mis-understood, the proposal went for-ward, At Hambi. g, on February15, 1842, the prospectus was signedof the German Colonisation Com-pany, which stated that the NewZealand Company had, by agree-ment, secured to the German com-pany legal possession of the islands.The price was £ 10,000, and a condi-tion was that no penal settlementshould be established on the islands.
“The vendors are not’ aware ifthe sovereignty of the British Grownhas ever been proclaimed in theChatham Islands, and they conse-quently think it would be fittingfor the English company to offer thesovereignty of them to the Hanse-atic towns of Lubeck, Bremen, andHamburg, or to all the other Statesof the Germanic Confederation incom.mon or in particular.”
The British AttitudeThe British Government was soon
aware of the agreement, and theSyndic of Hamburg was informedthat the Government disclaimed re-sponsibility for the. engagement en-tered into by the company, and thatthe Chatham Islands would hence-forth form a part of the colony ofNew Zealand. The company triedto save its face by disavowing theactions of its secretary, but Its ownminutes are evidence that he actedunder Instructions,
Out of this scheme arose another,for the establishment of a Germancolony in' an unoccupied part ofNew Zealand, It produced the fol-lowing comment from JamesStephen, permanent Under-Secre-tary to the Colonial Office: “There isno good reason why we should goout of the way to establish a foreigncolony in the neighbourhood of ourAustralian settlements, If we didso, there would be in the next mari-time war a neutral port close athand from which our trade mightsuffer the moat severe annoyance aswell as rivalry. I am for havingthe Australian world as completelyand exclusively English as possible.”

HOW TWO OCEANS WERELINKED
IN March, 1007, Major GeorgeGoethals, of the EngineeringCorps of the United States
Army received a, telegram from thePresident of the United States. Itcontained his appointment as direc-tor of the Panama Canal Construc-tion. .
,
. ■Goethals accepted the appoint-ment on the condition, however,that he was given plenary power.President Theodore Roosevelt in*vested the unknown engineer withdictatorial might, and Major Goo-thals wont to Panama to enter hisnew office,
The conptruction of the PanamaCanal had at that time become anational question in the UnitedStates. The canal had to be, andonly could be, American.
Already in 1880 the English Am-bassador, Bulwer, and the Ameri-can Minister of Foreign Affairs,Clayton, had concluded a treaty inwhich was agreed that the piercingof a canal through the Isthmus ofPanama would only be undertakenby the two countries together, Butwhile America and England weretied, the French tried to realise thecanal project. With a staff of en-fineers the Frenchman Ferdinand
e Lesseps travelled to Panama. Hehad built the Suez Canal, and incomparison the Panama Canal wouldbe an easy task. It was only halfas long.
Construction of the PanamaCanal
De Lesseps’s estimate amountedto 800 million francs. Eight yearslater one milliard 400 million francshad been spent, The workmen diedlike flies of the yellow fever.
The constructor of the Suez Canalhad resolved to build the canal atsea level, Deep cuts through themountains of the district were ne-cessary, They were his undoing.One landslide tfollowed the other,and with every one the market quo-tation of the Canal shares leaptdown.
A scandal of immense dimensionsbroke out. Ten thousands of littlesavers having confidence in the fa-mous name of De Lesseps, bad in-vested their money in canal shares,They lost it, ‘
Final DecisionWhen the Panama scandal faded,
a new company was founded inPrance, but - its efforts to completeDe Lesseps's work foundered on thetechnical difficulties and the yellowfever,
During that time the Hay-Paunce-fote Treaty was signed. It 'Can-celled the unlucky Anglo-Americanagreement. Washington regainedfree hands. For 40,000,000 dollarsAmerica bought the rights of theCanal from France, but Columbia,the state through which territorythe canal was to be built, had notrecognised the transference,
Experts proposed to build thecanal through Nicaragua; publicopinion was divided into two camps:for Panama and against Nicaragua,or for Nicaragua and against Pana-ma. A postage stamp decided thecontroversy.
The engineer, Vavllla, the greatestenemy of the Nicaragua project, dis-Satched letters to all members of
American Congress; they allbore a postage stamp of Nicaragua,showing a chain of hills and vol-canoes, the typical landscape of thecountry. This volcanic structuregave the decision; the canal was tobe l?uilt through the Isthmus ofPanama.
But still the approval of Columbiawas lacking. On November 3, 1903,when the leader of the Revolution'ary Party of Columbia, Dr. Amador,was “by chance” in Washington, arevolution broke out In Columbia.The Province of Panama declaredits independence, and PresidentRoosevelt did not hesitate. Threedays later the new Government ofPanama was recognised by theWhite House.
Nothing now prevented the con-struction of the canal,
But the Americans had no moreluck than the French, Again bythousands the workmen died and adisaster threatened. The directorof the construction, engineer JohnE. Wallace, would not go throughwith St, He left his place, and wassubstituted by John Stevens, whoalso failed.
America almost had her ownPanama scandal. Who was theman who could finish the Panama
1 Canal, America’s ambition and\ pride?
When he was told of the canal,expert and army officer Major Goe-thals, President Roosevelt did nothesitate, It was the last chance.
George Goethals was a self-mademan. His parents had immigratedfrom Europe, At the age of 12 hebecame apprentice at a New Yorkrag shop, hut the sale of second-hand clothes from a handcart in theBowery was not to his taste. Hesought and found a job in anexport business, where by industry,honesty, and perseverance he soonbecame a bookkeeper.
In 188 l a protector obtained forhim a scholarship for the MilitaryAcademy of West Point, and so hisgreatest wish was realised. Goethalsentered the military career’, andsoon proved his enormous technicaltalent. He became a captain andchief engineer of the technical corpsof the American Ar’my,

Colonel Goethals did not fail, Heproved to be a great engineer anda great organiser, Ho overcame the |fever scourge, he forbade cursingand the tormenting of colouredworkmen. He abandoned De Les-seps's plan of a sea-level canal andevolved the idea of the Lock ofGatun. which now in one day lifts45 ships to a height of 26 metres.

but the “old Arm" survived their at-tacks, Campbell Bros, were amicablyabsorbed: two of the others foundthe fight too fierce. Hall and Com-pany, securing the mail contract in1012. forced a compromise, and theamalgamation of the two firms endeda battle threatening annihilation toone or both.
It is universally admitted that thejourney from the east to the westpresents the most gorgeous andromantic scenery in any part of theworld. “Roaring cataracts, silverycascades, magnificent mountains,noble forests, and picturesque lakes—all these," writes Thomas Bracken,“in a 30-milo journey.”
. Rev. C\w\ea CAavke, world-famous lecturer, who made thejourney in mid-summer of 1873, andMr Julian Thomas, well known toNew Zealand readers as “The Vaga-bond" who visited the West Coastin 1883, viewed the scenes under en-tirely different aspects. The firsttravelled during the verdancy andexuberance of a summer season, therata in bloom, with tier upon tierof vivid scarlet bands on mountainand hillside. The second saw a sceneof snow and ice, every bough, everycreeper, a delicate festoon of snow,
A Traveller’s CommentsMr Clarke travelled with that
jovial whip, “Tommy” Power; hisguide was Arthur Davies. Bothtravellers were amazed with thewisdom and skill of horses anddrivers. “The scene,” writes theformer, “changed perpetually . . .as we rattled along the edge of pre-cipices , , . the road was full ofsharp turns, round which the horsesslipped in most knowing fashion,the leaders making full tilt at thewalls and coming round with aswing just as their noses touchedthe rock." He was assured theywere being drawn by a team ofpoets—Byron and Longfellow lead-ing, with Milton and Moore asleaders, The next team bore very“highfalutin” titles: Julius Caesar,Hannibal, Scipio, and Gaius Grac-chus. This information was im-parted with the utmost gravity, theworld-wide traveller, with eaualgravity, taking it all in, the whilerealising it all “a pleasant piece ofbunkum,”, manufactured for the oc-casion, “That coachman,” he .re-marks, “fibbed with a natural facilityand sweet imagination grown quiteuncommon jn these terribly matter-of-fact days.”
By 1883, when he made the trip,the coach started from Springfield,43 miles from Christchurch. Hisfirst surprise—an one—-was when he arrived at the foot ofPorter's Pass, and heard the driverseductively inquire, “Would any ofyou gentlemen like -to . walk uphere?” All were without the moralcourage to refuse, “although," moansthe victim, ‘‘l had paid £4 10s formy fare!" At the top of Arthur’s

Below us is one great .sea of fog and mist into which weappear plunging. Down, down,down, at full gallop. We turn sharp ~

“never to be effaced from my mem-ory; worth hardships and discom-forts—worth a King’s ransom. Finiscoronat opus." He views the dan-gers: “A fearsome journey this. Weare shown many places where teamshave been over the side of the road,but no accident has ever happenedto the coach. The horses are trainedlike those of a circus, and the driveris the perfection of human fore-thought.”
Praise for a DriverSpeaking of Arthur Davies, he
says, “Over the shingle where thereis no defined road, our driver takesus without the slightest hesitation: -inight seems to him the same asday, , , , Snow, snow, snow; it falls

a frozen witness; yet all the while ‘Arthur Davies sings cheerily out, ‘
encouraging his horses. He seemsperfectly happy, end doesn’t swear-A real ‘gilt-edged’ driver this, ofall the whips by whom I have sat •in the colonies, he is the best. He '‘takes the cake-’ The other day-Davies drove JSO miles in 23 hours, *
without any rest, and then came infresh and smiling, it is indeed true •of Him ‘A merry heart goes all theway; a sad heart dies in a mile.’”
The drivers’ record of not.a single fatality among the thou-*sands of passengers carried during -
a period of (50 years, over a road '
noted for its dangers, is recognised.as beyond all praise. Such a record, :
despite brilliant drivers, could never ;have been achieved were it not fepr'the absolute confidence existing be- ,
tween employee and employer, '
whose • vigilance and jealous carat',combined with a generous expendi-ture, made it possible.

The last coach sets out from Hokitika In 1833.
FAMOUS DRIVERSMr Ralfe continues his ac-
count of the early coaching daysin this article, dealing particu-larly with some of the famousdrivers and with the impres-sions of an early traveller whohad-visited many parts of theworld, There will he three fur*ther articles in this series, de-scribing special aspects of life inthe early days of the West Coast,
Any account of those pioneeringcoaching days would be incompletewithout some reference to thedrivers employed, several of whosenames are almost historical. Theearliest known—so far as old recordsreveal—was W, H. Shepard. In Aug-ust, 1865, newspaper praise, in gen-erous measure, is meted out toShepard and “Charlie" Flowers, fortheir pluck, energy, and resource inovercoming the dangers by “Hoedand field” of their arduous calling,and for having reduced the time forthe Journey from live to four dayseach way. Shepard died in the NorthIsland, having been fatally injuredin. a coach accident. He holds therecord of being, in 1868, the driverof the first of Cobb and Company’scoaches driven through Wanganui toHawera, Flowers, justly renownedfor his intrepidity and endurance,held, to his mail contract,the post of ferryman at the Taipo,notorious as the most dangerousriver on the overland journey, andresponsible for many a traveller’sdeath. Here, in 1805, he built an ac-commodation house. He was re-garded with disfavour by the“bikers" of that day, who resentedthe high charge of 2s for ferryingthem across the river, but the fee,being fixed by Provincial authority,gave Flowers no discretion in thematter. His is a ‘figure which, Inthose epic days, stood out in boldrelief.
When It is remembered that inbusy seasons a large number of.coaches and teams were employed,some idea of the number of driversneeded may. be formed,- Amongthese, such “whips” as “Tommy"Power, Arthur Davies, .Jack Roun-tree, "Tommy” Maher, “Joe" Searle,the brothers W, and H. Campbell,George McWilliams, and “Sandy”Williamson form a galaxy of starswhose names will be rememberedduring .the lifetime of travellers ofthat day. Two of these names,“Tommy" Power, in the seventies,and Arthur Davies in the eighties,are most notable. Henry Campbell,who dropped the pen to take up theribbons, also earned renown, but hiswas not the day of really classicachievement.

The Eccentric Luncher
“Don’t look round," Sally pressedthe steel plate of her high-heeledshoe into my foot,
“Who is it?” I inquired cau-tiously,
“Shsh! He will hear you.'I had helped myself to the next
course when my curiosityme. I dropped ray table napkin,and as I picked it up I took a quicklook at the man sitting behind me.He sat staring straight in front ofhim, and although there were manyplates end dishes round him, he didnot appear to bo eating, Involun-tarily I frowned, I always feel in-ferior in the presence* of people whomake a pretence of disdaining food.To me they are blacklegs, and ifthe truth were only known I expect
they gorge themselves at home tomake up for their privations in pub-lic.
"He saw you," Sally whispered."I don’t care if he did."The next moment he strode past
us, gave the cashier a £1 note, andwithout waiting for change passedout into the street,
"Who is he?”“I don't knowj" Sally sighed wist-
fully. "He wag In here yesterdaywhen I had lunch with Jane, Hebehaved just in the game way-ordered a Jot of food, only ate alittle, and. gave the cashier a £l,If he always does that JL would notmjnd being the cashier here. As amatter of fact I was very intrigued,that la why I asked you to bring/

to do?"“Oh, I thought you might know
who he wag or at least be able tofind out. If you had any initiativeyou would have put out your footand tripped him up—that wouldhave been a good introduction."
“I follow. You'would not havecared if I had received a black eyeor lost a front tooth, I . can justImagine what would have happened—while' I lay stunned on the floor,you would have declared that youhad never met me, and the last Ishould have seen of you would havebeen a view of you extracting poundnotes from his pocket. Women are
all alike,, they will do anything formoney." X fortified myself with an-other cup of coffee.
Sally sat unmoved, smilingsweetly. "You dear thing," she mur-mured, "so nice of you to invite meto lunch with you here to-morrow."
"But I didn’t—""Since you insist, I shall be de-
lighted. We might perhaps be ableto get a table closer to our friend."
"Well, I wish he would pay foryour lunch, he seems a lot more ableto do so than I am. Personally Ithink that flourishing pound notesis just bad form,"
"Of course, if you are going tomake a fuss about taking "me tolunch there are lots.of others whowould jump at the privilege." Sally
adjusted the veil of her hat to amore provocative angle. -*
“Alright,” I agreed hastily, “buTthat does not mean that*l am goingto trip him up or shoot potato chipsdown his back.”
The next day and all that weekSally and I foughtfor places in whathad once been an empty restaurant,The place was full of women withan occasional sulky escort like my-self, and always the ascetic strangersat at a reserved centre table, dis-dained his food and Anally departedshedding a £X note.
The whole thing preyed on Sally’smind. First she decided that he wasan Austrian nobleman (until I as-sured her that in such a case hewould not havw the price of a cupof coffee), and then she felt con-vinced that he was an armamentmanufacturer looking for a new mar-ket, , Several women attempted toforce his acquaintance but he ex-cused himself, saying in faultlessEnglish “I am sorry but I do notspeak English.” He then lapsed Intosilence.
After a time the waitress ceasedshowing him the menu but broughthim practically everything andpiled it on his table. Then to myhorror, Sally, instead of using themenu, often pointed to sometbiason his table and told the waitress ina loud voice to bring her some ofthat.
A second week parsed and sud-denly Sally announced that she wasfed up with recluses, and we bothconcentrated on reducing our golfhandicaps and forgot about him.
Then one day when I was inter-viewing applicants for a vacancy onour staff, he came in and gave hisname as Henry Smith. His clotheswere old and he had lost his air dis-tingue, and as for pound notes,there were none in evidence.
“Are you in a position at pres-ent?” I asked.
“I have a small part time job, butit is not to my taste. If you wouldgive me a chance I would start atany. time—you see I am very hardup.”
“How ic it then that I have seenyou with a pocket full of £1 notes?”
He smiled. “Everyday Igo to therestaurant of my friend; I changemy suit in his. office, he gives me a

IMPROVEMENTS OFFERED BY -'fGOVERNMENT :
• The Akaroa Borough Council re-',ceived advice from the Commissioner
~
of Crown Lands, Christchurch,, at itSmeeeting on Wednesday that the De-,partment of Internal Affairs wotild- ■carry out improvements to the Green'
,
Point memorial amounting to about |£2OO if the Borough Council wouldmaintain the memorial and its sur-roundings. This memorial marks thespot where Captain Stanley, of H.MS .

The monument was erected in 1888, ,
and has-since that time been , under,the direct authority of no local body. . -It now needs considerable renovation,
.
while the path leading to it and thesurroundings certainly could be mademuch more attractive.
During his visit to Akaroa somemonths ago, the Hon. W. E. Parry-was .of the opinion that these improvementsshould be carried out, and he expressedthe view that if this were done at -
Government expense the local resi--dents should attend to its maintenanceand make it an attractive spot lor- -
visitors. The Mayor (Mr F. Davis). '
said that two officials of the Public -
Works Department had asked the coun-' •cil to obtain estimates for the renova-tion of the obelisk; itself, the laying--out of the area round the memorial in 1grass and garden plots, and the pro-vision of improved access by a pro? - ;perly graded path. These estimates,had been obtained from the borough '
foreman, who considered the cost.would be about £l9B. He consideredas it marked such an historic spot thatthe council should undertake the ah- 'Anual maintenance, which was estimated -
to cost from £lO to £l2. ' .
In this view the Mayor wasported by several of the-as it was considered advantageous that'the Department of Internal Affairs Was ‘prepared to do the initial renovationwork. ?

MAYFAIR
“OUT WEST WITH THEHARDYS’*
The fifth of the popular series ofAmerican family films dealing withthe fortunes of Judge Hardy’s familyis now in its second week at the AvonTheatre. The latest film, “Out WestWith the Hardys,” presents all the oldfavourites, Mickey Rooney, LewisStone, Fay Holden, and Cecilia Parker,and introduces a new Hardy-familyplayer in Virginia Weidler, the pig-tailed and clever young actress, whoplays the part of the tomboy daughterof Ray Holt, a widower, who is fore-man on the ranch the Hardys visit fora holiday. As usual, this film is fullof action and laughter, and is of thetype to appeal to every member ofthe family. t
The Hardy family is probably whateveryone would like to believe is thetypical American family. That is, itis what the typical American familywould like to be. The average fatherwould .be glad to be as understandingand- wise as Judge Hardy; the aver-age mother would surely be gratifiedto look as cheerful and pleasant asMrs' Hardy always does—and shewould also be glad to produce hernerve storms with as much polish andas good effect—a holiday for the wholefamily; every girl would be happy tobe as attractive as Cecilia Parker; andwithout any doubt there is no school-boy who would be sorry to be able toswagger as only Mickey Rooney can,to laugh as he can, and to say theclever and witty things that he sayswith such excellent results from audi-ences composed of children and adultsas well. For these reasons, as wellas for the reason that the story toldin “Out West With the Hardys” is abright and amusing one, the filmshould please a great number ofpeople.
Andy Hardy, at the opening of thefilm, is rather large for his boots, be-cause he has won honours in sport;Mrs Hardy is over-tired because ofall the spring cleaning; Marian is indanger of falling out with Dennis;and Judge Hardy receives a letterfrom an old friend, Dora Northcote,telling him that she needs his help tosettle a legal dispute over the waterrights on the ranch owned by herhusband. So the Hardys pack up andgo to the ranch for a holiday.
It is now possible to meet AndyHardy in the full regalia of the cow-boy, to watch him practising walkingwith a permanent bow-legged stride,to see him take his first and manysuccessive falls in the attempt to lehrnto ride, to laugh at his attempts tocarry a rope, and to gloat over hischallenge to Jake Holt in the matterof shooting. In the film various otheradventures are presented, such •as thefalling in love and curing of Marian,the final success of the Judge and MrsHardy in solving the legal problem,and the triumphant return of Andyand the family to town. Ralph Mor-gan and Nana Bryant take the partsof the Northcotes.
In a varied supporting programmean excellent feature shows an inlandaquarium in which hundreds of oceanfish are' kept in almost natural con-ditions; the aquarium is fitted withwindows at various levels, so thatcameramen and public may watch theantics of the fish at all hours. Thisis a Pete Smith specialty, and isone of the best of these high-standardfeatures.
CRYSTAL PALACE
ACTION PICTURES IN DOUBLEPROGRAMME
"“"Lovers of action in motion pictureswill find themselves admirably cateredfor in the new doUble-feature pro-gramme at the Crystal Palace thisweek. The films showing are “Troublein Sundown” and “The Flying Irish-man,” and both have all the attributesof thrilling outdoor entertainment.The first film stars the popular hero ofwestern pictures, George O’Brien, andthe story is something fresh in thistype of picture. While there is plentyof action, this aspect is not overdone,and the clever theme gives additionalinterest., The story tells of the effortsof an unscrupulous businessman toobtain control of the bank in a smallwestern town and foreclose on thera.ichers of the valley, who have beenforced to mortgage their property be-cause of a poor season! When thebank president is accused of murderand of robbing his own bank, the filmtakes a startling turn, and the methodemployed to clear the innocent manmakes absorbing film material.
The main picture, “The Flying Irish-man,” features the hero of the famousflight across the Atlantic to Ireland,Douglas Corrigan, The rise of theyoung flyer to fame and the hardshipshe endured to achieve a boyhooddream give human interest to the film,while a portrayal of the epic flightprovides a thrilling climax,j Compelled by circumstances to beginwork at an early age and assume re-sponsibility for the welfare of ayounger brother and sister, DouglasCorrigan experienced setbacks in anambitious career of flying, and in “TheFlying Irishman” he enacts his ownlife’s story. His early training in fly-ing from a war-time ace, his subse-quent endeavours to obtain a positionin commercial flying, and the hard-ships he underwent to obtain quali-fications to meet the rigid require-ments of efficient air services, are de-picted in this well-produced film. Thehistory of aviation is traced with theadvancement of the young flyer, andyears of “barnstorming” and hard sav-ing, climaxed by the epic flight overthe Atlantic, are highlights of the film.The Atlantic flight is particiuarly wellproduced.
A nightwatchman found dead in avault of which the bank president isbelieved to have the only combinationseems to throw a heavy bias againstthe president when the theft!of 90,000dollars, comprising the savings of allthe cattlemen of the district, is dis-covered, in “Trouble in Sundown.”This evidence is used by the criminalsto cover up their schemeJn obtainingcontrol of the banking interests, Thehead of the gang, posing under theguise of a respectable estate agent,offers to finance the bank until thestolen money is recovered. \ His planis thwarted by the intervention of aGovernment bank examiner, who re--fuses to allow the bank to open underfresh direction until the president re-turns. The" plan used by GeorgeO’Brien, as the hero, to hide the inno-cent man, until the plot is exposed byan ingenious trick, which forces thecriminals to admit their guilt, and theway • they discovered the combinationof the vault, gives plenty of scope foraction and thrilling entertainment.
A technicolour Mickey Mouse car-toon, “Mickey’s Parrot” is a supportingfeature.

STATE
“WUTHERING HEIGHTS”
2Tew screen adaptations .of famousnovels have achieved the success andpopularity of ..
Wuthering Heights,”now in its third week at the StateTheatre: The film is a tribute to theskill of modern directors, who havemade from a novel which holds an as-sured place in. English literature agripping and brilliant screen play. Thecasting, the writing necessary to adaptthe written word to dialogue in films,the acting, the scenery, and the- faith-fulness to the author’s sequence ofevents and, characterisation are alikegood, and combine to make “Wuther-ing Heights” set a new standard in thebringing to .the screen of famousnovels. Good acting, allied to such agood, dramatic story as Emily Bronte’snovel provides, is the basis of thefilm’s attractiveness, and its sheermerits as dramatic entertainment havedrawn crowded hduses to the State.
The story is the sort of human docu-ment which is true in any age, andalthough the.action of the film is setback to the period of Emily Bronte’snovels, there is entirely absent thesense of artificiality which sometimeshaunts films made, of event? happeningyears before the birth of most of thosewho see the film.
Merle Oberon, as Cathy, and Lau-rence Olivier, as Heathcliff, are natur-ally the central characters, and theirtempestuous and wrecked love story isthe breath of the life in the filnh Theclimax of the film is startling in itsruggedness—rivalling the vitality andintensity of the book itself, which hasbeen described as ,one of the bestnovels in the English language and oneof the world’s greatest pieces of tragicwriting. Background to much of thestory is the bleak, frightening house,“Wuthering Heights,” on the York-shire moors, but in contrast to thetragic events of the end of the film isthe happy childhood scenes of the twoprincipals and Hindley, played byHugh Williams. The story marchesbrilliantly and inexorably to the dayswhen Heathcliff’s dark passion and hisfinal, burning desire for revenge fallfirst on the big house, then on humanbeings, and finally cast an evil shadowacross a whole countryside.
Not mere entertainment is “Wuther-ing Heights.” It is a gripping,' bril-liant story, well acted and , produced,reproducing faithfully in another artmedium the drama and action of aworld-famous book. Those who haveread the book will welcome the film,and those who have not, seeing thescreen play on its own merits, as itwere, will find in it one of the finestportrayals of dramatic emotion pro-duced for years. More than most filmsof its type “Wuthering Heights” de-serves the description “well worthseeing.”
, There is an excellent supporting•programme.
PLAZA
DOUBLE-FEATURE PROGRAMME
Two verv well-known characters,Tom Sawyer, and “Hopalong” Cas-sidy, reappear on the screen at thePlaza Theatre now in a well-matchedpair of films. “The Frontiersmen” isthe latest Clarence Mulford story ofthe West, and William Boyd is asgood as ever in his popular role. Itis a story of the revolution which oc-curred when a very pretty school-teacher-came to Crockett, a wild townin the wilderness. “Tom Sawyer,Detective,” is an exciting incident inthe adventurous lives of Mark Twain’simmortal characters, Tom Sawyer andHuckleberry Finn.
In “The Frontiersmen,” William Boydis the manager of a big ranch nearCrockett, which has been worried byrustlers, headed by a man called Raw-ley. Boyd- is ambitious for the vari-ous children in the neighbourhood tohave a good education, believing thatwith , civilisation encroaching on theWest, the children will need to be ableto use their brains and not their gunswhen they grow up. So he arrangesfor a school-teacher to come, with theresult that when Evelyn Venable ar-rives all the hands throw their toolsdown and conceptrate their activitieson education. Even the famous“Windy” (George Hayes) thinks he isin the running.. Everything runssmoothly in the end, however, whenthe Rawley gang is rounded up whilemaking a big. coup, and the school-teacher leaves the district with a bet-ter behaved lot of schoolchildren init . .
Tom and Huck make many mistakeswhile solving the mystery in “TomSawyer, Detective,” but they areheroes in the end, and Uncle Silas issaved from the gallows to which hemight have gone for another man’scrime. Twin brothers who look ex-actly alike are the cause of all thetrouble. Jupiter lives with UncleSilas, and is hated by all. Jake hasnot been seen for six years.' Thebrother of the twii . Brace Dunlap,would force Silas’s daughter Ruth tomarry him if he., could.
Coming to stay with Uncle Silas andAunt Sally, Tom and Huck find themissing Jake on board the steamboat,and he has to confess- to them thathe is fleeing from men who want tosteal diamonds hidden in kis shoes.They help him tp escape,, and haveforgotten the affair by the time thatJupiter, the twin brother at . the farm,infuriates Silas so much that the oldman strikes him. Jupiter iis not dead,and Jake,is not far away; ' One wouldnot know the two' apart. Then Jake,the one with the diamonds, is actuallymurdered. The diamonds remain, inhis shoe. Jupiter finds out, and changesclothes with his brotner, who was in■disguise, now reappearing, as. : astranger, while the body of Jake isplaced where Jupiter was left. lyingby old Uncle Silas. The two boys, ofcourse, are the means of 'acquittingtheir uncle at the very amusing, trial.Billy Cook is Tom, Donald O’Connor•is Huck, arid Porter Hall is ..Silas,

“CAPTAIN FURY”
■ As exciting as any American West-ern drama, “Captain Fury,” nowshowing at the Mayfair Theatre, is afilm about convict settlement days inAustralia that should thoroughlyplease New Zealand audiences. WithVictor McLaglen and Brian Aherne in
the chief roles, and the comedy direc-tor Hal Roach in charge, the film hasmany funny moments, as well as hun-dreds' of thrilling ones. Victor Mc-Laglen would seem homesick withoutsome places in which to use his fists;in this film he is very far from seem-ing homesick; he has a chance topunch someone on the head' or theneck or the back in almost everysequence of the film. And BrianAherne would be wasted in a film thatdid not give him an opportunity touse Blarney words in
_
his Irish love-making. In June Laing, who takesthe part of Jeanette Dupre, he has avery sensitive listener to his irresist-ible words.
Captain Michael Fury (BrianAherne) is one of a batch of convictsnewly arrived in Australia;_he is sentto the employ of Arnold Trist, a crueland avaricious station-holder in thecountry inland from Sydney. Here hemeets and comes to an agreementwith Blackie (Victor McLiaglen), aconvict 'who knows the ropes on thishard-working station. In the middleof some trouble that is investigatedby Trist himself (George Zucco), Cap-tain Fury escanes. and finds a briefshelter with Jeanette Dunre. Thesettlers in the valley are being har-assed by Trist to leave their homes:he gives them one week, after whichhe says he will burn them out.- Furyoffers to help them, and the settlersagree ■ to accept his help—all excentFrancois Dupre, who forbids hisdaughter to see this man who, he says,is a convict, and therefore has taintedblood.
Fury gets clothes and horses from,the settlers and helps a band of fel-low convicts to escape. Their firstwork is to take the money back fromTrist that he has stolen from the val-ley settlers. This, to Blackie’s horror,Fury hands honestly to the settlers.
In the hills, the convicts wait fortrouble in the valley. And whenTrist’s men make their, first raid theycome to the rescue, force the raidersto restore all broken and damagedproperty, and then’send them packingwithout their guns. In the variousskirmishes with Trist’s men. Fury andhis men enjoy themselves fully;Blackie and another, for instance, takegreat delight in dropping Trist’s fore-man neatly in the well, throwing himthe bucket, greeting him when he ar-rives at the top, and quickly pushinghim down again. Their studiously in-nocent faces fail to deceive CaptainFury as he'walks past in time to seethe very wet foreman rising for thethird time.
The adventures in the valley lead toa surprising climax; to disclose thiswould spoil the film for those whohave not seen it. The country in whichthe scene is set is admirably Austra-lian in nature; there are kangaroosand kookaburras, besides numbers _ofspeedy and shining horses. Actinghonours go to Victor McLaglen andBrian Aherne, and. as always, to JohnCarradine and Douglas Dumbfille.who play their small parts veryefficiently.
In the supporting programme thereare nature features and news items,and a special feature shpwing unusualoccupations, chief among them beingthe spare time activity of Jean Par-ker,’actress. who has her'own dressshop and designs all her own gownsfor private wear and for use in films.
LIBERTY
DOUBLE-FEATURE PROGRAMME
A bright double-feature programmeis at present showing at the LibertyTheatre: it includes the popular Barry
K. Barnes film “The Return of theScarlet Pimpernel,” and a musicalcomedy, “52nd Street.” The BaronessOrczy’s: popular historical romances ofthe French revolutionary period havehad great success in the film versions.This one, starring Barry K. Barnes,Sophie Stewart, Margaretta Scott, andJames Masoh, is a good mixture of ex-citing action, polished manners, beau-tiful clothes, and leisurely music. Theassociate feature is a light comedy,showing something of the romance ofrunning might clubs on 52nd street inNew York. •
The guillotine scenes, >with the no-torious knitting women busily click-ing their needles on the front rowbenches, are repeated from the earlierfilm, “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” for thissecond story in the famous life of ad-venture of the English baronet whotook upon his shoulders the, task offorming a secret league to help ridFrance of the plague of assassinationthat followed the Revolution of 1789.
In Robespierre’s mind, the import-ant thing is to rid himself of all whoare traitors: and by 1794 great num-bers were suspected of disagreeingwith his rule. As the price of free-dom to one of his high officials whomhe suspects, he demands the captureof the "demmed elusive Pimpernel.”The high official, Chauvelin, there-upon passes the demand on to Sig-noria .Theresia—played excellently byMargaretta Scott—who loves theyoung statesman, Tallien. It she cantrap the Pimpernel, Chauvelin prom-ises her, she and her friends, who areforeigners in France, shall . .be safe.And her lover, Tallien, shall-be safe,.too.
The signorita goes l to England to■trap the Pimpernel into returning to.France. The only, way she can do thisis to carry off his wife by force. LadyBlakeney (Sophie 'Stewart) is aFrenchwoman by birth. She dearlyloves her husband, and has persuadedhim not to return to the dangers- ofhis life in France, and he has prom-ised ’ her. But when she is carriedoff he, of course, goes post haste inpursuit. Only when he reaches Parisdoes hd learn that Robespierre , hasplanned to have • her executed. Invarious disguises he follows and spiesupon Robespierre’s men. At one time:he spirits her away under the verywalls of the courts of justice, whereshe has been sentenced to death. Buthe is caught when he believes that'he and his wife and his men are safe.After this, it is a race between Robes-pierre’s men and the Pimpernel’s men;how the Pimpernel’s wit and his lastcard win will be seen in this stirringfilm.
In “52nd Street,” lan Hunter, LeoCarrillo, Pat Paterson, Ella Logan,and Zasu Pitts turn a singing pictureinto a comedy that has not a dullmoment. The story is concerned, withthe attempts of Margaret Rondell (PatPaterson) to break down her father’sobjections to her working in nightclubs. She has to dance and sing
■ superlatively : well to convince himi that she really wants to earn her liv-ing in this way, and that she does notwant to sit about and live in luxuryon the money he has worked hardto make.' Zasu Pitts is her, societyaunt who at last comes in to the night-club .business herself and scandalisesher extremely strait-laced sister. It isan amusing tale, with singing ariddancing. ■■
