Lyons and his Labour colleagues going round

Australia saying that Mr. Bruce was out to

destroy wages and smash arbitration. i

"As regards taxation reilef, the Prime Mini-

ster again misquotes me. I have said in Par-

liament and outside (as both Hansard and

newspapers report) that the Federal and State

mot Federal, as Mr. Lyons misquotes) re-

mission of taxation could this year have been

made equal to £20,000,000. The Federal Gov-

ernment claims to have made a remission of

£9,000,000. Mr Stevens claims to have made

annual remissions equal to £6,250,000. There

is an accumulated Federal surplus of

£ 4,800,000 from the previous two years, which

I urged should be used for taxation relief,

and this brings the total to £20,000,000. This

does not take into account possible savings

on expenditure, which, despite the desperate

times we live in, has increased in practically

every department except pensions.

TARIFF REDUCTION."My reply to the Prime Minister's question

as to how I would reduce the tariff, is by

using the same method Mr. Lyons adopted to

increase it, that is, by bringing down a tariff

schedule in Parliament. My schedule, how-

ever, would be based on the 1928 schedule In

all those cases where the Tariff Board had

not reported, instead of basing it on the Scul-

lin schedule as Mr. Lyons did, a great many

items in which had been unfavourably re-

ported on, or had not been reported on by the

Tariff Board."Dr. Page said he would also have imple-

mented the original Tariff Board recommenda-

tion on galvanised iron and glass, without re-

peated reference to the Tariff Board until an

increased dutv was eventually recommended.

Dr. Page said he would also have given the

Ottawa Agreement margins in all British pro-

tective items by wiping out the 10 per cent,

primage on them. Primage had been imposedsubsequent to the imposition of the duties by

the Scullin Government, and the Tariff Board

had reported that the revenue lost by its re-

mission on protective items would be insigni-

ficant to the Government, but that prices to

the consumer would be thereby materially re-

duced."Our complaint against the Government,"

concluded Dr. Page, "has been against Its

dilatoriness and the half-hearted nature of Its

l'étions,,

and because it does not use the

psychological moment to get results. The Gov-

ernment can regain the respect of the Country

purty, which Mr. Lyons says it has lost, and

secure its wholehearted support by utilising

Its remaining opportunity of carrying out the

programme agreed to before the 1931 elec-

tion."

"BOMBED."

Troops Face Air Attack.

SHOWER OF GOLF BALLS.

For the firsi, time in the hlstoiy of the4 IF troops on Satuiday willingly sub

-ritted to an aenal bombardment Indeed

they enjoved It even though a plane roaied

du\m to within 30 feet of them and the pilot

and his observer hurled bombs at the

victims below The bombs were golf balls

and bags of flour

The bombardment was one of the features

of the New South Wales Golf Club s AIF

Day celebrations at La Perouse The diggers

had been warned of the attack and when the

enemv appeared they were preparedThe plane swooped down rose and swooped

again Down came the first missile-a box

of balls and a miniature putter A burly

member of the Roseville duo seized the prize

and turned to race to safety A flying tackle

brought him to earth and when five minutes

latei he appeared from beneath a heaving

mass of diggers he had parted with his

souvenir He had also parted with his wind

and when he threw himself on the ground in

the hope of recovering it he was carefully

covered with a Union Jack while his com

iades stood to attention He was the first

casualtjBy this time the plane was again swooping

along the fail way and the prospect of more

baksheesh was too much for the troops

They deserted the corpse But their

lamentable lack of respect really did not

mattei for the corpse also responded to the

appeal of free golf balls and was in the van-

guard of the charge Diggers of every age

ize and description raced up and down the

fairways diving on the balls

On the third trip of the plane the

attackeis changed their tactics with telling

effect Down hurtled the bomb the

ti oops waited to pounce But they had

been out manoeuvred by a surprise move

Into their midst fell not golf balls but a bag

of flour A decided victory for the

attackers'

When the supply of bombs was exhausted

the pilot H C Durant who had F H Pery

pressive of the scenes From the various en-

trances 10,000 children entered the ring, and,

with rhythmic step and fluttering flags, took

up allotted places Out of this vast gathering

of radiant young life there was evolved, at

a given signal, a magnificent human picture,

set in a frame of deep green lawn, in honour

of the occasion and its underlying spirit of

faith The assemblage, looking down upon it

from the pavilions and other points of vantape,

was deeply stirredWith stars bordering it there appeared a

massive Irish harp, and, set between its human

strings, a huge Cross, standing out in red

On either side of the harp were the words,' Holy Year," in a great blaze of colourful block

lettering, and beneath it, there stood out, also

in vivid lettering, the lines, "Faith of Our

Tathers Living Still"

On another signal by

the Inspector of Roman Catholic Schools (the

Rev Fathei T J O'Connor), the great scene

became palpitant and aglow with life From

20,000 young hands a dense forest of fluttering

flags shot up, repiesentlng the colours of the

Papal, Irish, and Australian flags, with the

Cross etched in striking outline of red

enthusiastic cheers, picturesque Maypole danc-

ing and other impressive displays by Individual

PAMIR PUTS TO SEA.

ICeremonious Farewell.

The departure of the tour-masted barque

Pamir created great interest on Caturday

afternoon The sailing ship, laden with wheat

was towed out of the harbour accompanied by

a fleet of ciaft of all descriptions, fiom ocean-

going yachts to rowing boatsDuring the early afternoon, launches loaded

with spectators gathered around the Pamir

as she lay off Point Piper On board the

barque, busy figures hurried to and fro com-

pleting the final pieparations for the voyage

to the United Kingdom The anchors were

weighed and then slowly, as the tug steamed

ahead the Pamir began to move down har-

bour At the harbour entrance, a number of

the smaller craft accompanying the barque

dropped back but she passed through the

Heads escorted by five graceful yacnts Pass-

ing steamers blew their sirens in farewell A

great liner with hundreds of waving passen-

gers crowding the rails, steamed past the

weather-worn sailing ship Overhead, two aero-

planes diveJ and circled cameras clicked and

film cameraman in launches speeded by as

the tall ship with her gaunt spars silhouetted

against the white clouds In the sky, was towed

to sea

From the tug the Pamir could be seen head

on as she tolled slightly in the swell, and her

bowsprit on which was fastened the fin at

a fchaik-to ensure fail winds-alternately rose

high in the air or dipped towards the ocean

Tiny figures raced aloft and the staysails were

unfurled Then at intervals during the course

of a tow of seven miles, sail after sail unfurled

A few minutes after the tow rope had been

cast off, the masts and spars of the barque

were clothed in white canvas Finally her top

gallant sails were set and with 1 er huge spi ead

of canvas billowing In the north-easterly

breeze, the barque proudly cut through the

I

water. The siren on the tug sounded a fare-

well At sunset the Pamir was a speck on

the horizon_

SAMUEL INSULLi

-.

Permitted to Leave Greece.

ON WAY TO ABYSSINIA.

ATHENS. March l8.

Samuel Insull. who was arrested on boaid I

the steamer Malotls as it was making for Port I

Said, left Athens last night bv the same

steamer for Djibouti (French Somallland), en

route to Abvssinia. Thus Insult's long-sus-

tained effort to RVoid being brought to trial

in Chicago on charges of fraud is advanced

anolhei stage.The return of the Malotls after it had been

pursued bv a Greek torpedo boat was spectacu-

lar. It arrived at the port of Piraeus sur-

rounded bv naval launches. Mrs. Insull

boarded the shin with a specialist and food,

wine, and brandv.Insull ¡laid that he left his apartment in

Athens bv the front door early on Wednes-

day morning, having dyed his hair and mous-

tache. He was anxious to avoid complications

between Greece and America because he had

been advised that detectives wanted to kidnap

him.It was subsequently announced that after

compliance with formalities Insull would be per-

mitted to leave as soon as possible for Djibouti.

Owing to reports that Insull's depression,

which the captain of the Malotls during the

return to Piraeus wirelessed was so disturbing

that it had been necessary to give him an in-

jection. Mrs. Insull hurried to the Ministry of

the Interior and begged the Minister to send a

message to her husband saying that he would

not be handed over to the American authori-

ties. The Minister agreed, adding that Insull

could have an escort of police during his stay

in port.The American Legation, although informed of

the arrival of the Malotls, took no action. His

lawyers advised Insull not to land, and his wife

visited him and took additional luggage to him.

The former Premier (M. Venlzelos) told jour-

nalists that the Government's treatment of the

case was incomprehensible. It was lamentable

that they should order the Malotls to return,

for this proved that the Government had

promised to effect a concealed surrender of

Insull. Otherwise the order to return was in-

explicable.

The Minister for the Interior (M. Moud

lorldes), who would have to assume full re-

sponsibility, has resigned.Complications are expected at Djibouti be-

cause Insull does not possess a French vise,

and the French have already refused him per-

mission to land at Beirut (Syria).

BROTHER HELD IN CANADA.TORONTO. March 16.

Chief Justice Mulock confirmed the extra-

dition order against Martin Insull, brother of

Samuel Insull. who is wanted at Chicago on

similar charges of fraud in regard to the con-

duct of utility companies. Martin Insull has

thus lost a 17 months' legal battle, In which

he fought against his extradition as far as

the High Court. He is now being held for the

United States authorities.

BYRD EXPEDITION.

Series of Minor Mishaps.

(FROM REAR-ADMIRAI. BYRD.-COPYBIOHT.)

LITTLE AMERICA, March, X6.

The expedition has suffered a series of mis-

haps to the Byrd expedition, but there have

been some favourable developments, following

Wednesday's aeroplane crash.

A fire In the administration building

threatened to destroy the camp, but it waa ex-

tinguished. The expedition's newly-acquired

physican was forced to perform an emergency

appendicitis operation on Joseph Pelter, the

U.S. Navy cameraman. The operation was

successful, but his recovery will be slow.

Dangers to the camp from ice movements

appear to be over, and foodstuffs are being

transported by air to a depot 60 miles south

of Little America for the winter advance base

which Rear-Admiral Byrd intends to estab-

lish on the Ross ice barrier, 200 miles from the

camp. Two round-trips were made before

poor visiblity prevented further flying.

BOMB OUTRAGE.

Attempt on Life of Mussolini.

I ROME. March 16.

The trial by a special Court of four men

accused of the attempted assassination of

Signor Mussolini began to-day.

The accused are Renato Cianea, Claudio

Cianea, his 20-year-old son, Leone Bucci

lloni, and Pasquale Capasso, the latter both

temporary employees of the Ministry of Public

Works.The trial is the outcome of a bomb outrage

at St. Peter's on June 25, when four persons

were injured, one being permanently crippled.

It is alleged against the accused that they

plotted to assassinate Signor Mussolini with a

poison gas bomb they were making when

arrested in October.

Renato and Claudio Cianea both declared

that the St. Peter's bomb waa thrown merely

as an anti-Fascist demonstration, and was

not intended to cause damage. They also

alleged that Buccilloni and Alberto Cianea

arranged both that outrage and the attempt

on the life of Signor Mussolini.

The prosecution alleged that the accused

visited Paris, and obtained Instructions forvisitée» raris, ana wwuw usmu^wi *". ,

wood to make a new picture. "I hope to have

as little talking In it as possible," she said.

"I shall weep bitterly if Charlie Chaplin talks

in his next picture, for then I know it is the

death of silent pictures."

MATCH DRAWN.

Test Team in Hobart.

KIPPAX'S FINE INNINGS.

HOBART, Sunday.

Tasmania was fortunate to avert defeat in

a match against the Australian Eleven whichended at the Cricket Association Ground at

Hobart yesterday.

Dismissing the test team, which had re-

sumed with 360 for four wickets for 501.

Tasmania was only 163 runs behind, withtwo and a half hours to play, and a draw ap-

peared Inevitable. The early loss of thewickets of Badcock and Ferrall, however, ap-

'

peared to unsettle the side and, aided by the

splendid bowling of Wall, the Australians had

dismissed eight Tasmanlans for 124 when playceased at 5 p.m. to enable the team to jointhe Orford for Melbourne. There was a

large gathering on the wharf, and the team

received an enthusiastic farewell.Morrisby batted well early in Tasmania's

second innings, defying the attack for 66 min-

utes. Green and Thomas settled down to a

solid partnership, but a brilliant throw byFlcetwood-Smith ended the stand, and threemore wickets fell in five minutes. The aspectof the game changed entirely, and the Tas-

manlans were struggling for runs for the re-mainder of the afternoon.

As in the first innings, Wall and Ebelingwere the only impressive bowlers. Wall showedbetter pace on Saturday, and swung the ball

both ways most disconcertingly. He hadten wickets In the match for 149 runs. TheAustralian fielding was good, although McCabeagain showed that he Is not suited to theslips, where he dropped two catches.

Kippax played a brilliant innings for Aus-tralia, and carried his overnight score of 76to 141 before he was well caught on theboundary. He scored his runs in even time,and hit 22 fours. Chipperfleld and Bar-

nett also shaped attractively.The attendance was 4200, and the gate re-

ceipts £251, making totals for the match11,500 and £650.

ANCIENT MARINERS

See a Sailing Ship Out.

OLD DAYS RECALLED.

The League of Ancient Mariners had a dayout on Saturday. After lunch at the NavalDepot, Rushcutter Bay, they boarded the Manlyferry steamer, Burra-Bra. and followed theFinnish four-masted barque. Pamir, down theharbour.

With her bows turned into the ground-swellbetween the Heads, the Burra-Bra was hoveto until the barque was an indistinct blur on

the horizon to the south-east, while men whohad secured their master's tickets in sail 30,40. 50, and some nearly 60 years ago, watchedthe canvas clapped on.

Peering short-sightedly through his glasses,one old salt became quite excited. "He's let-ting go his lower tops'Is," he exclaimed. "Ay,she's a fine ship."

It was obvious, however, that the partywatched the departure of the sailer withmingled feelings. "That's the only way to learnseafaring," was a phrase on almost every lip,but one did not hear the wish expressed tobe on board. One master mariner, who firstvisited Sydney in 1874 as a boy before themast at 2/6 a month, said: "I don't knowwhether I would do it again, but I'm glad Idid not miss It."

The band of the Royal Australian NavalReserve, under Commissioned Bandmaster Pitt,played nautical music as the Burra-Bra at

length commenced a cruise of the harbour.Gradually the party split up into small groups,in which many yarns were "swapped." It wasnot long before a small group gathered aroundCaptain S. Phillips at the piano, and struckup the old sea chanties. "The Maid of Amster-dam" was a favourite, as was "Blow the ManDown."

The president (Captain S. G. Green) likesto be regarded as a "young fellow" (he cele-brated his 81st birthday a week before theouting), but he revealed on Saturday that hegained his master's ticket in 1878. He Indig-nantly denied that he was the oldest manthere, and to prove his point pointed to CaptainTalbot, who is 92. There were some surprises.A man who looked quite young described hisadventures beating round the Horn in theeighties, and drew a picture of South Atlantic"greybacks" laid flat by ice, following a sud-den blizzard. He also described a skipper whowas drunk for 71 days of a voyage of 72. andwould have been drunk for 72 only his supplyof liquor ran out. The narrator was then anapprentice, and on one occasion found theskipper asleep in his bunk, a bottle of whiskyon one side, a bottle of brandy on the other,and an ancient Bible clasped to his breast.

Ex-Chief Fire Officer Jackson was one ofthe most interesting personalities on board theferry steamer. He first saw Sydney Harbourfrom the deck of the small Thompson barqueJerusalem in 1875, deserted his ship, and spentsame time ashore. The sea again called, andit was 16 years later that he

finally settledin Sydney. The first paid fire brigade wasthen being organised. It comprised 27 men.all seamen, and he is one of the few survivors.

Before the luncheon, Captain Green un-veiled the figurehead of the barque Woodburn(1896), which was recently presented to theNaval Depot by Mr. James Burns. The DistrictNaval Officer (Commander C. W. Stevens)opened the simple little ceremony witli a

reference to the cordial co-operation betweenthe naval . and mercantile marine services,typified at the depot by the figureheads ofH.M.S. Nelson and the Woodburn, side by side.

Proposing the toast of "the day we cele-brate" at the luncheon, Captain F. J. Bayldonsaid that for the last 1000 years the historyof the British race had been colled aroundthe history of the merchant marine, which forthe lost 300 years had sailed under the RedEnsign, and for the previous 300 years underthe Red Cross of England._

THE EAST.

"Feeling of Insecurity."

CLERGYMAN'S IMPRESSIONS.

The Right Rev. R. W. Macaulay, Moderatorof the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, andminister at Camberwell, v/ho returned last

week from a trip to the East, said in an in-

terview with a representative of the ."Herald"

on Saturday that on reaching Manila the tra-

veller could describe the rest of the journeyto the East in one word, "insecurity." in Hong

Kong the principal feeling among the West-

ern community seemed to be one of great ner-

vousness. There was fear as to what the next

development in China would be. In Japan thefeeling of insecurity was so strong that thevisitor began to think that the whole of theEast was like a barrel of gunpowder await-

ing a spark.Mr. Macaulay said the striking Phrase heard

everywhere was "the crisis of 1935." In 1935

Japan's notice of withdrawal from the League

of Nations would take effect, and in 1936

the Washington Treaty for limitation of navieswould expire. As the Japanese Government

saw the situation. Japan was standing entirely

alone in a world which was hostile, or, at

best, neutral. This belief in an impending crisis

was made the basis of propaganda for defence

preparedness, which was nation-wide and ex-

tremely thorough.

AUCTION BRIDGE.

Championship Play.

The final tournament to determine the met-

ropolitan duplicate auction bridge champion-

ship was commenced on Saturday night at the

Sydney Bridge Club. The event, which is

conducted under the auspices of the New South

Wales Bridge Association, attracted a fair

entry, and 32 players qualified to engage in

the final round. Twenty-four boards were

played, and the same number of hands will

be dealt with next Wednesday evening. Thepair emerging then with the highest score of

points under the Howell system will retain the

cup for the ensuing 12 months.The tournament was directed by Mr. Tude

hope and shortly before midnight the referee

(Mr. J. A. Burke) announced the following

| progress results:

The play was not of the high standard which

characterised the recently concluded contract

match, but there were some notable exceptions

and there were a few instances of bright bid-

ding, followed by clever play. Hand No. 5,

which yielded an unexpected result, came outas follows:

East dealt, and was the declarer in spades

at all the tables. At two tables 11 tricks were

made, three tables made 10, but three obtained

only nine, and, therefore, missed the game

bonus. The invariable lead was a heart, but

whatever is led the declarer can make game

when he obtains control at trick 3, by playing

his ace of diamonds before entering dummy

through the clubs, so that a losing heart may

be discharged on the king of diamonds. The

defenders in some instances returned the spade

10 after winning the first heart trick. Where

the declartr then finessed he was preventedfrom making game. It was expected that each

declarant would foresee the consequences of

the finesse falling, but, as already stated, at.

three tables this was overlooked.

VOLUNTEER FIREMEN.

Contrasts in Apparatus.

_

NEWCASTLE, Sunday.

Lithgow won tile Alfred Webb Cup for high-

est aggregate points in all competitive events

at the volunteer firemen's demonstration,which ended at the Newcastle Sports Groundyesterday. Orange, which was second for the

Alfred Webb Cup, defeated Lithgow by a single

point for the Reddaway Casket, awarded to the

brigade gaining highest aggregate points in

hose events. Lithgow had won both trophies

at the previous demonstration In 1932. Lock-

hart, which was working under strange con-

ditions in most events, put up a fine perform-

ance by finishing third in the two aggregates.The demonstration reached a spectacular

climax late yesterday afternoon with an ex-

hibition of the evolution of fire-fightingmethods though the centuries. Flre-flghting

appliances of the past, reconstructed In the

workshops of the Board of Fire Commission-

ers of New South Wales from accurate his-

torical data, were brought on the ground by

volunteers dressed In the fashions of the ap-

propriate periods. The many spectators

amusedly saw thin streams of water raised

into the air from bucket-fed machines of the

types devised by Cteslblus of Alexandria In 250

B.C.-these having a giant wooden wheel

as the chief feature of the pumping equip-

ment-and by Hero of Alexandria in 120 B.C.The latter, with It"! double forcing pump and

smooth bored cylinders, was the forerunner

of the modern fire engine.There was also an exhibition of modern fire

brigade methods. Great petrol-driven fire en-

gines rushed round the ground. An extensionladder shot towards the sky. A man in an

asbestos suit stroiied carelessly up and downbetween lines of blazing hessian. Wearers

of smoke helmets casually entered a hut fromwhich great clouds of brimstone-smellingsn.oke were emerging. Firemen jumped froma high platform Into cunningly devised land-ing sheets. Chemical extinguishers quicklybrought blazing oil and fast-burning shavingsunder control.

nett, John Mackay, M. R. St. John, Mrs. St.

John, Mrs. E. J. Jenkins, Mrs. Merewether,

FEDERAL" CABINET.

Meeting in Sydney To-morrow.

I TRADE POSTS IN THE EAST.

A meeting of the Federal Cabinet will be

held In Sydney to-morrow morning, this be-

ing the last Cabinet meeting before the de-

parture of the Attorney-General and Minister

for External Affairs (Mr. Latham) on his Far

Eastern mission.Members of the Cabinet will entertain Mr.

Latham at luncheon to-morrow, and the

Prime Minister (Mr. Lyons) has extended an

invitation to New South Wales members of

the Federal Parliament to loin the Cabinet at

afternoon tea in order to say good-bye to Mr.

Latham.

Mostly, the Cabinet business to-morrow will

be of a routine charucter, but it is expected

that consideration will be given to the ques-

tion of appointments to the posts of Trade

Commissioner in the Far East which are to be

Inaugurated by the Government. These ap-

pointments will probably cover Japan. China,

and the Dutch East Indies.

The Minister for Commerce (Mr. Stewart)

will submit lo Cabinet a panel of names of

persons suitable for appointment, drawn up

by the advisory committees set up in each

State for the purpose. Although opposition

has been expressed in certain quarters to the

Ministry's proposal to appoint Trade Commis-

sioners in the Far East, it is claimed that the

policy has general support among the com-

mercial community.

A conference on Eastern trade was held

at Sydney in February of last year. The con-

ference, which was attended by representa-

tives of commercial interests throughout Aus-

tralia, recommended that as an alternative to

a trade delegation to the East, the principleof official representation overseas to deal with

trade matters should be approved and the Min-

ister for Commerce was urged to put this prin-ciple into operation as soon as possible.

Following on the conference, an advisory

committee was set up in each State. The New

South Wales committee, with one dissentient,

recommended the aDpointments. The Queens-

land and Western Australian committees un-

animously supported the appointments. The

South Australian committee did not expressan opinion on the merits of the matter, but

its approval, it Is claimed, was implied, as it

requested that the appointments should be

made In consultation with the advisory com-

mittees. In Victoria, it is stated, five out of

the nine members of the committee indicated

the support of their organisations to the Gov-

ernment's proposals._ |
