EARLY METHODISM

CAMBRIDGE TERRACEJUBILEE.

CELEBRATIONS COMMENCETHIS WEEK.

The diamond jubilee celebrations ofthe Cambridge Terrace MethodistChurch will be commenced on Satur-day afternoon next and will be con-tinued until the closing rally onThursday, June 1.

Until 1913, when the Church Unionwas consummated, Cambridge terracewas the centre of Primitive Methodismin Christchurch, and since then, it isclaimed, the terrace church has en-deavoured to abide faithfully by thespirit of that union. Although theJjtibilee of the church is being cele-brated this year, thereLwas actually a'great deal of work don%by the church,earlier than 1873.

In 1860 a Primitive Methodist ser-vice was held in Christchurch eachSunday afternoon. The service ap-pears on a plan headed "The Welling-ton and Canterbury Mission, 1860.'The minister, the'ftev. Joshua Smith,was stationed, in Wellington, andMessrs Lewis,'and Flavelt were localpreachers resident in Christchurch andalternately conducted the service. Itis not ascertainable how long the ser-vicejreontinued. ■few years later a society calledthe ''lndependent Methodist Churchwhose membership consisted of Primi-tive Methodists in the main, met regu-larly for public worship at a buildingin Market square. The name wasadopted pending authority from.Lon-don for-the use of the title "PrimitiveMethodists." The society met for agreat many years.

Building of Church.There was a slight break apparently |

before the establishment of the churchin 1888. A plan was published and MrT. Cooper was chosen as first classleader. The church grew in influenceand power, and preaching places weregradually added.. Some of them, asdevelopment proceeded, became cir-cuits—Ashburton and Greendale, forinstance. Without the services of aminister progress was hindered, but itwas still remarkable. The Rev. RobertWard was appointed to Christchurch in

1871 by the conference. He was ab-sent from the Dominion at that time,but returned in November, 1872, withhis son, Josiah, as probationer. TheRev. Robert Ward held his first quar-terly meeting on December 16, 1872,and at this meeting extensive mission-ary operations were agreed upon andmany preaching places were added tothe pfan-Kaiapoi, Kowai, Hororata,and East Malvern being among them.

In place of the rented hall a churchwas built and opened for onJune 8, 1873. This is the church whichstill stands in Cambridge terrace.

The life of the church to-day isblessed with an active and loyal, youthfellowship that is a tribute to itsleadership and an encouragement forits future. ,

RESIGNATION OFDOCTOR.

ASHBURTON COUNTYHOSPITAL.

DIRECTOR-GENERAL TO BEAPPROACHED.

The refusal of Dr. H. S. Billcliff toreconsider his resignation as medicalsuperintendent of the Ashburton Pub-lic Hospital at a special meeting of theHospital Board yesterday led to theintroduction of a proposal that he beasked to consider accepting the posi-tion as part-time medical superinten-dent. This movement was ruled outof order by the chairman (Mr W. G.Gallagher) on the grounds that noticeof the proposal was necessary, and thematter was held over for a furtherspecial meeting next Monday. Aftera heated discussion, during which thechairman refused to accept a motionto disregard his ruling, Mr Gallagherannounced that he was going to placethe matter before the Director-Generalfor Health <Dr. M. H. Watt).

Dr. Billcliff, who put in his resigna-tion two weeks ago, stating that ithad been prompted by outside influ-ences, wrote that he could not con-tinue in his position as medical super-intendent under the present conditions.

Mr W. H. Wilkinson asked if therehad been any suggestions of a possiblearrangement. In all these mattersthere was generally some way out, hesaid. Could there be any alternativeto the resignation?

The chairman (Mr W. G. Gallagher):The position is that Dr. Billcliti hasresigned. We are here to considerthat, and not alternatives. Any furthersuggestions must come before anothermeeting. I move that the resignationbe accepted with regret.

Continuing, Mr Gallagher said thatDr. Billcliff had given excellent serviceto the hospital and the community. Inthe circumstances, however, the boardhad a duty to accept the resignation.

In seconding the motion Mr W.Bryant stated that it seemed the boardhad no alternative to accepting theresignation, since Dr. Billcliff: had madeup his mind. The doctor had not onlygiven service to the patients in thehospital, but also to the board. He hadbeen in Ashburton for eight or nineyears and had made a name for him-self in the community. When Dr. Bill-cliff went to England a certain seedhad been sown, and after his returnit grew. One member of the boardhad said that there had been pin-pricking, but jp that statement he hadnot gone far enough. The speakerwould say that the boot had been putin. Dr. Billcliff had given a great ser-vice to the public, and they were losinga very capable officer.

Mr R. Oakley said that there hadbeen much favourable comment of Dr.BillclifT's work as medical superinten-dent, and the speaker had hoped thatthe doctor would reconsider his de-cision to resign. I

Mr C. A. Campion stated that itseemed that they could no nothing butaccept the resignation with very deepregret. There might be some way ofretaining Dr. Billcliffs services, but, asthe chairman had ruled, that mustcome on later. "Until we are withoutDr. Billcliff we will not know what wehave lost.

Mr Wilkinson endorsed the remarksof the previous speakers concerningthe services Dr. Billcliff had renderedto the hospital.

The motion was carried.Part-Time Appointment.

Mr Frampton: In view of the factthat the country ratepayers have ex-pressed themselves very definitely, Ifeel that we must take some steps toretain the services of Dr. Billcliff atthe hospital. I move that Dr. Billcliffbe asked to consider the question ofhis appointment as part-time medical jsuperintendent of this hospital. IThe chairman: That is new businessand cannot be taken now. It is aquestion of policy.

Mr Frampton: I must protest againstyour ruling.

The chairman: I have ruled.Mr Frampton: I feel like moving

that your ruling be disregarded.The chairman: If you do I will close

the meeting. Do you accept myruling?

Mr Frampton: No!Mr Bryant: I don't accept your rul-

ing either.Mr Frampton: I move, 1 that your rul-

ing be disregarded.Mr Bryant: I second that motion.Mr Frampton (addressing the chair-

man): I cannot understand your atti-tude.

The chairman: We have come hereto deal with this matter of Dr. Bill-cliff's resignation, and notice must begiven of a motion to change the policyof this hospital. That is final.

Mr Frampton said they were thereto make arrangements to fill the posi-tion rendered vacant by the medicalsuperintendent's resignation.

Mr Bryant: It is quite legal to ruleagainst you. We have got you in yourplace. You are only chairman. Wevote against you.

Dignity of the Chair.The chairman maintained that his

ruling should not be disobeyed andthat they should proceed with the nextbusiness.. Mr Campion: There is a motion be-fore the board that we disagree withyour ruling.

The chairman: I am not going to putit. It is an indignity on the chair.

Mr Frampton: I feel like putting itmyself.

Mr Bryant (to the chairman): Weput you there, and we are justified inputting this motion.

The chairman: I have ruled that al-terations in the constitution must comebefore the board in the form of anotice of motion. Surely that is suffi-cient.

Mr Frampton: I think you arewrong, 'but I will give notice.

Mr Bryant: Then you withdraw.Mr Frampton said that he did not

withdraw, but, since the chairmanwould not put the motion to the meet-ing, there was no other course than to

j give notice..At this stage a letter was read from

the Lyndhurst-Lauriston branch of theNew Zealand Farmers' Union express-ing appreciation of. Dr. Billcliff's ser-vices and stating that the union hadevery confidence in him and hopedthat he would reconsider his decisionto resign.

Chairman's Statement.The chairman then made the follow-

ing statement:—"As chairman of this board, and

having the dignity of the board tomaintain, I must reply to the state-ment from various quarters emanat-ing from our medical superintendent,that undue influences or pin-prickingby two. members is the cause of hisresignation. May I now state withoutfear of contradiction that neither Dr.J. R. Wells nor I (the persons ac-cused) have found it necessary todrop to such tactics. Our actions inevery way will bear the closest in-vestigation, our whole desire fromtime to time being to introduce re-forms, such as an honorary staff, inthe best interests of the community.Can it possibly be contended that ouraction is a personal one against themedical superintendent? I say em-phatically, No! The change, if broughtabout, would become the board'spolicy, which he as the board's ser-vant should be loyal to perform.Again I must reiterate that no proofhas been provided of his statementof undue influences, and the publiccan only infer that proof cannot beprovided and that such a statementis only imaginary or promulgatedwith the sole purpose of damagingtwo representatives in the eyes of thepublic. I can confidently leave thewhole question to the public to de-cide whether our hospital is to begoverned by the board or by themedical superintendent, and would

welcome any enquiry by the Ministerfor Health into the whole question.That is my reply to the wild state-ments that have been made, withoutthe slightest foundation of fact toback them up," concluded Mr Gal-lagher.

Board Asked to Resign.Mr A. G. Foreman, clerk to the

Mount Hutt Road Board, wrote stat-ing that at a meeting of ratepayersand residents of the Mount Hutt dis-trict, the following resolution was

carried unanimously: "That this meet-ing of ratepayers and residents of tnr-Mount Hutt district regrets that tnemembers of the Ashburton HospitalBoard have permitted influences tocreep in, thereby causing the resigna-tion of the medical superintendent,and unanimously calls upon thewhole board to resign."

In reply to the resolution, thechairman read another statement, asfollows:—"Surely this is the mostridiculous request ever made in thiscounty to a responsible body of dulyelected representatives carrying outas thev are very difficult and thank-less duties in the most trying iime . sprobablv in the history of the board.By what right does a small meetingin Methven wish to dictate as towhom shall represent the borough ofAshburton or the town district ofTinwald, to say nothing of the largecounty of Ashburton. The meetingregrets that influences have been al-lowed to creep in, thereby causing theresignation of Dr. Billcliff. Is thereany proof of that statement? Nonewhatever. Dr. Wells has always madehis position clear and fearlessly en-deavoured to carry them out in thebest interest of the patients of thehospital. The ratepayers have onevery election returned him at thehead of the poll, thereby endorsinghis action; yet a few people in Meth-ven include him with the rest of theboard to resign. I was returned atthe last election at the head of thepoll, with 1277 votes—l76 votes highertnan any other candidate, and myviews were well known to the elec-tors, who, I believe, thought I wascapable of independent thought andaction, and would give effect if pos-sible to what I considered best forthe hospital. I have clone so. Nowlet me examine the legal position.Tne petitioners evidently do notknow that if the board resigned thereis no provision in the law for anelection other than the statutory ones,every two years in the borough, andevery three years in the county. Anyvacancy occurring between these sta-tutory dates is filled by the contribut-ing bodies, county council, boroughcouncil, and Tinwald Town Board.Thus, there is no provision i/i the lawfor what the meeting evidentlywanted, an election. That will comein two years' time in both county andborough."

Mr Gallagher also referred to thefact that the chairman of the MountHutt Road Board repudiated the state-ment that the Mount Hutt Boardcalled the meeting at Methven, ex-plaining that he was merely asked topreside in accordance with custom."I consider the petitioners have beenleft stone cold," he concluded.

Alleged Pin-pricking.Mr Frampton (to the chairman): Do

| you ever consult Dr. Billcliff with re-i Karri to hospital matters and help himin his work, or do you stand aloof?

The chairman replied that when anemployee of the board made accusa-tions against the speaker he could notbe expected to take notice.

Mr Frampton said that Dr. Billcliff'swork at the hospital had been exem-plary. The Director-General forHealth had told the speaker that theyhad an excellent medical superintend-ent. If the chairman could not workwith the medical superintendent nehad no right to be chairman.

Mr Bryant referred to the fact thatsome time ago a member of the board,at the instigation of some outside con-cern, had brought before the boardthe question of purchases of certaingoods by the medical superintendent.It was afterwards proved that Dr.Billcliff had been buying the goodscheaper than could be obtained fromthe outside concern. "That is thenature of pin-pricking to which therehas been reference," he said. "It isall very well to plaster up your stuff,"Mr Bryant continued, addressing thechairman. "The other member alsoputs along slides to suit the public.I must be an idiot or a fool if I can-not see through things here." he con-cluded.• Th<L chairman announced that heintended to place the whole matterbefore the Director-General forHealth (Dr. M. H. Watt).

NEW RECORD FORCOLD.

AMERICAN SCIENTIST'SACHIEVEMENT.

VALUABLE EXPERIMENT.

BERKELEY (California), April 11.Officials of the University of Cali-

fornia ' announced to-day that thecoldest man-made temperature yetattained, 459.1 below zero Fahren-heit, had been reached by experi-ments at the university. Thisachievement of Professor W. F.Giauque, assisted by C. F. Nelson,a mechanic, and D. P. MacDougall,research assistant, was accomplishedby use of a magnetic cycle processwhich Professor Giauque developed.

The mark reached is within .25degree centigrade of the absoluteabsence of heat. The temperatureis infinitely colder than that ofliquid helium and considerablylower than any point yet obtainedby processes involving previouslyknown methods of refrigeration.Experimenters generally have heldthat attainment of practical zero isessential to the solution of numer-ous scientific problems.

, Among the theories advanced arethose that the practical absence ofheat is necessary as a preliminaryto creation of a perfect vacuum; thatnew low temperatures can be ap-plied to manufacture of a super-steel and that this research will con-tribute to the study of the struc-ture of the atom.

The substance cooled by Profes-sor Giauque was gadolinium sul-phate oclahydrate, a compound ofgadolinium, a metallic element dis-covered in 1880. The magnestisa-tion process extracts from this sub-stance the heat generated in it whenit is magnestised and demagnetised.

By ammonia refrigeration andother customary cooling processesProfessor Giauque reached a tem-perature of about 306.4 degrees be-low zero Fahrenheit, at which pointthe magnetic cycle begins. Theheat generated by magnetising anddemagnestising is drawn out of thesubstance by liquid helium whichsurrounds it. The substance thenis isolated from the helium by ahigh vacuum. The magnetic fieldis decreased and this action furthercools the substance.

Professor Giauque states it shouldbe possible to continue even closerto the absolute zero mark.

Dean (chairman of the com-mittee of the New Zealand RugbyUnion) proposed to come to Ashbur-ton, to see the Ashburton representa-tive team in action, and to inspect suit-able grounds. Outsiders seemed tohave the full extent of the businessdiscussed in committee. It was onlya suggestion made by the speaker toMr Dean, who had yet to receive aninvitation from the Ashburton Union.The matter was still in the air andthere had been no attempt to hood-wink the Ashburton Agricultural andPastoral Association in the matter ofrenewing the rental of the ShowGrounds, as suggested by outsiders.The chairman said it was unfortunatethat business discussed in committeewas carried outside. "A suspicionrests on every member in the roomthat he is the culprit," he said.

tration for unemployed relief, theapplication was granted. Three appli-cations under the No. 4A Scheme werereceived, two being granted. One washeld over for further information. In-formation was received from the Lab-our Department that proceedings wereto be taken against a farmer forutilising labour under the 4A Schemecontrary to the regulations.

j Five new applications were receivedfor relief.

A communication was received from jthe board relative to the allocation for |the district. Strong objection was.taken by members to the unsatisfac-tory amount allocated, and it was de-cided to enter a strong protest. Thecommittee has not yet received anyreply to their protest against the un-satisfactory position in which the localmen are to be employed on the Ashleyriver improvement works.

The committee expressed the hopethat farmers requiring men for pota-to picking would apply to the secre-tary of unemployment, as was thecase with harvesters

Toerect this tablet would cost £4O, andas it was thought that some formerservice men or the dependents of someof those who fell might like to con-tribute towards this tablet.

TRESPASSERS INPLANTATIONS.

DANGER OF FIRE.

SELWYN BOARD TO DEALWITH OFFENDERS.

Shooting parties have been trespass-ing frequently on the Selwyn Planta-tion Board's properties at Southbridge,and as the danger of fire is still acute,the board has asked its superintendentto take such action as he considersnecessary in dealing with the tres-passers.

When the workmen returned toSouthbridge plantation last Mondaymorning, May 15, they noticed that afire had been started on the Sunday,and had burnt about 20 acres of grassimmediately adjoining • the plantedblock, stated a report made by thesuperintendent for the board (Mr R.G. Robinson) at the monthly meetingyesterday. The outbreak was fortun-ately confined to an area surroundedby a ploughed firebreak, and did nodamage. Had the adjacent gorsecaught, the fire might have travelledmiles, and destroyed much privateproperty.

The locality of Southbridge was evi-dently a favourite haunt of shootingparties who were very apt uninten-tionally to cause a conflagration bydropping a lighted match amongst thedry vegetation. Sportsmen would,particularly at present, show a grace-ful act of consideration to publicbodies and landowners generally bydiscontinuing to hunt or shoot over ornear properties or plantations thatwere just now in such a very inflam-mable condition.

"A Favourite Shooting Ground.""It is simply a case of trespass," said

Mr Robinson, in speaking to the re-port. There were at least .12 carsparked there that day; the districtis a favourite shooting ground—rightdown to the Rakaia.

The chairman: Shall we place it mthe hands of the police? There arefire notices in the plantations.

Mr W. P. Spencer: There is no harmin a man shooting if he is careful.

Mr A. E. Langdale-Hunt: We shouldhave a patrol there. He could takethe valves out of the car tyres stand-ing on the roadside, and send the tres-passers away by that means.

The superintendent said that it wasonly through the vigilant efforts ofthe board's men, who went out on alldays on caretaking work, that morefires had not occurred.

The superintendent was instructedto take action in cases of trespass andthe lighting of fires in plantations.

A FAVOURED FIRE-WOOD.

EAGER DEMAND FOR WATTfcE.

One of the firewoods most in 4e-mand is wattle, and the work of theSelwyn Plantation Board in exploit-ing plantations of this wood in Can-terbury has met with remarkable suc-cess. Wattle is favoured because ofits clean burning properties and theamount of heat it gives off.

Good headway is being made withthe exploitation of the Selwyn board'swattle plantation near Sandy Knolls,from which 206 cords of wattle Tiavealready been cut and stacked thisseason. Much of the season's fuel hasbeen disposed of and favourable com-ment on its burning qualities hasbeen received from!many consumers,the annual report of the board'ssuperintendent states. A good deal oftrouble has been experienced in theremoval of the timber from the in-terior of the plantations, but this diffi-culty has been overcome and consid-erable amounts of the wood are being

disposed of. ' ■"Although a comparatively short-,

lived tree, the life-term of wattle gen-erally is very much influenced by thegrowing conditions." states the report."Thickly sown on poor, andl land m

i exposed situations, the wattle winrarely produce timber of a merchant-able size, whilst the spindly treesquickly assume an unhealthy appear-ance and prematurely die.

#

This isexactly what has happened in manyof the board's stands, the present con-dition of which has been partlybrought about by the absolutelyparched state of the surface. The*ex-ploitation of the woods should resultin a fair margin of profit being shownon the operation of the board. Tne

reafforesting of cut-out wattle Planta-tions is an easy matter if conductedbefore suckering becomes too far ad-vanced."

The engineer reported that at theLower Coldstream cutting a woodflume carrying discharge from a cul-vert down the side-filling had beenburned in gorse fires. At the toe ofthe side-filling at this location theColdstream rivee had caused consid-erable erosion in two places; at thelower (downstream) point 60 feet ofprotective work was required and at«ie upper point about 40 feet of pro-tection was wanted. On the Leader-Walau road threatening erosion of theroad near Earthquake oluff was dealtwith by revetting the Leader riverbank with large willow trees laidalong the threatened bank and se-curely anchored to T and angle-irondeadmen in the solid bank. Similarwork was being carried but justabove the old railway piers. TheSisters' road was rather badly mauledrecently by a tractor and threshingmilL As Sisters' road was a fourthclass road, H would be a fair thing toask the owner to make good the dam-age, especially as grips were fitted totfie tractor wheels.

The engineer's report on unem-ployed labour stated that under theNo. 5 Scheme three men had beenworking on the Leamington gorgeroad and four men on the Sistersroad, Parnassus. Results being ob-tained under the scheme were disap-gointing and, owing to the small num-

ers in each gang and the short timeallocated to them each week, it wastaking a long time to get work inhand completed. The engineer was ofthe opinion that it would be to thecouncil's advantage to apply to theUnemployment Board for permissionto employ the No. 5 men on a monthlyinstead of a weekly basis; instead ofa man being employed for four days,say, in each of three weeks and stand-ing down for the fourth week, hewould be employed for 12 days andwould, then stand down for the restot the month. If this method of em-ploying the No. 5 men were adopted.work %ould go on continuously fornine to JO days each month, and de-sirable works could, be put in handwith a reasonable chance of beingcompleted within a short time; morework would be completed for thesame expenditure; and during theirstand-down period the men would bein a better.position to obtain employ-ment. The council would also save Inthe cost of transporting workers andthere would be less office work inconnexion with No. 5 Scheme. Un-der the present system some No. 5men received more over a period thanothers in the same class, if the sug-gestion were adopted all workerswould be on the same footing eachmonth and no advantage could accrueto any worker on account of the in- jcidence of the stand-down week.

Where the rating ison unimproved value, the councilshall nevertheless levy the followingrates on the annual value:—Water-rate; drainage rate; hospital andcharitable aid rate, if this liability isnot i?.ken over by the general Gov-water or drainage. That adequateand efficient provision should bemade for the application of the prin-ciple cf betterment in respect otmunicipal public works.

After discussion, the BoroughFinance Committee made the follow-ing recommendations: As the firstproposal would entail nationalisationof hospitals, that the same be notsupported; the general Governmentcould hardly be expected to bear thewhole cost of hospitals, and at thesame time to permit local bodies toadminister them. That the opinion onmunicipal taxation be concurredwith; that the council was of opinionthat as the annual rating system maycause some confusion and entail aconsiderable amount of work, it doesnot support the suggestion, but wouldrather support the rating entirely onthe annual value. That it be alsopointed out that the council has al-ready submitted a suggestion thatan alternative system of rating be

! considered—i.e., on a mean betweenI the capital and unimproved values;but by an oversight this was not in-cluded in the agenda paper for theconference, and that the executive beasked now to consider this suggestionin connexion with this matter; thatthe final proposal is a matter whichthe Town Planning Act was designedto cover, and any suggestions in re-gard thereto should be placed baSorethe Town Planning Board; that thecouncil concurs that the question ofrating should be an order of refer-ence for the local body commission,should such be set up.

The works committee received aletter from the Minister for PublicWorks, which stated that the depart-ment had had many complaints thatits engineers had been permitted todo work which might be undertakenby engineers in private practice, andwas therefore unable to grant the re-quest that the district engineer shouldact with the borough engineer tojudge the stability of competitive de-signs for a clock tower.

The curator reported that duringApril 131 unemployed men reportedfor an average of two days' work,while 72 Returned Soldiers' Associa-tion members reported for one dayThe following donations were re-ceived during April: Collection ofrare alpine plants from Miss EdgarJones; seeds from Mr Kan Yashiroda,Japan; and 50 packets of seeds from!the Regius Keeper, Royal BotanicGardens, Edinburgh.

The were adopted, and theresolution making a special order of!the Timaru Borough Council consoli-dated renewal loan (No. 3) was car-ried, iThere was a temporary deadlockwhen the council was considering

tenders for the plan of the proposedclock tower. The only tenders werethose of V. H. Panton, who submittedtwo plans, one of part of the muni-cipal buildings costing £I6OO, and theother an isolated tower costing £2400and of Mr P. W. Rule, who submitted*a plan of the tower,, which abuttedon to the.footpath costing £IBOO. Amotion was carried that the clocktower should be above the municipalbuilding, thus eliminating Mr Panton'ssecond plan. A resolution was car-ried that Messrs Panton and Rule beasked, to act in conjunction in the con-struction of the clock tower, such tow<erto be on Mr Rule's idea outside thebuilding, but on the decoration styJeof Mr Panton's plan. A further mo-tion was that the prize, money whichwas to have been awarded £lO 10s forfirst and £5 5s for second, should bedivided between the two architects,subject to their agreement to the,flrstresolution.

On the Mayor's suggestion, MessrsRule and Panton were asked to at-tend the meeting, and when ac-quainted with the council's decisionboth emphatically refused to co-oper-ate. It was not a personal matter,but each contended nc as he thoughthis plan was best he could not agreeto include features of the other. Afterfurther discussion, it was decided thatthe two resolutions previously carriedshould be rescinded.

Mr Panton was awarded the firstprize of £lO 10s, and Mr Rule the sec-ond prize. It was resolved that MrPanton should be asked whether hecould erect his tower outside themunicipal building, and, if so. that hisplan should be accepted, and that heshould be asked to submit final plansand specifications, together with anestimate of the cost, at the next coun-cil meeting.

The St. John Ambulance Brigadewrote in reference to the committee'sletter asking for the names of first-aid men requiring passes. The nameswere supplied, but exception wastaken to the attitude of the commit-tee.

ESTUARY PORTSCHEME.

RETURNED SOLDIERS'DISCUSSION.

WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION.

"That the Christchurch ReturnedSoldiers' Association institute en-quiries into the possibility of theestablishment of a private companyto further the scheme of PortChristchurch, with the object ofraising preliminary capital enablinguseful employment to be providedfor the unemployed of Canterbury."

The above notice of motion wastabled at a meeting of the executiveof the association last evening byMr T. L. Drummond; but it receivedlittle support, and was finally with-drawn.

Mr Drummond said the associa-tion should try to enlist the supportof the Port Christchurch League,with the object of approaching theMayor, to get him to call a publicmeeting with the object of forminga company to get the work started.It was plain that Canterbury couldbe nothing without that estuaryport, and it was also plain that theGovernment would not take a lead,because it derived much revenuefrom the Lyttelton Tunnel. The PortChristchurch scheme would providelabour, and useful labour, for theunemployed.

Mr H. Fleck seconded the motion,pro forma.

The president (the Rev. F. T.Read) called attention to the pre-liminary expense of getting reportsfrom engineers and other experts.

Members stated that experts hadalready reported on the scheme.

Mr R. M. Grant said they wouldhave to be prudent, because thepeople of Christchurch in general,and the members of the associationin particular, were divided into twoparties—those who supported the

I Port Christchurch League, and thosewho supported the Port and CityLeague. The association might treadon the toes of one of those parties,to its own detriment. At the sametime, something would have to bedone to secure more useful workfor the unemployed than they werebeing given now. A glance round ;the city and suburbs revealed thatthe present position was ridiculous.

Moving an amendment that theproposal be referred to the PortChristchurch League for favourableconsideration, Mr J. S. Chisholmsaid that the matter was really out-

jside the jurisdiction of the associa-tion, whose business was to providefor former servicemen, and not for

I the unemployed of Canterbury.! Mr W. E. Leadley said that thoughihe believed in the Port Christchurchscheme, he could support neitherthe motion nor the amendment, forthe same reasons as had been ad-vanced by Mr Grant. Port Christ-church would never be a reality tillthe people of Christchurch wereunited in the belief that it wasnecessary. To pass either the motionor the amendment would embarkthe association on a long and weari-some investigation which wouldlead nowhere.

Mr E. W. Smith said he supportedthe Port Christchurch League; buthe could not support the motion.

Mr Fleck expressed agreementwith the views of Mr Leadley.

Mr Drummond asked leave towithdraw the motion, and leave wasgiven, the amendment also lapsing.

BOROUGH COUNCILS

SUMNER.

' A meeting of the Sumner BoroughCouncil was held last evening, whenthere were present: The Mayor (Mr W.H. Nicholson), Councillors A. Holden,H. L. Wiggins, J. E. Tait, H. E. Ken-nett, G. FTAllen, D. P. Oldridge, H. W.Harris, and C. Hart.

The gas and electrical engineer (MrA. A. Cheshire) supplied particularsand figures for the period since thelast meeting. The gas manufacturedamounted to 1,054,000 cubic feet. Theapproximate amount of coal in stockwas 115 tons, and the amount of coke15 tons. Trouble had been experiencedon Scarboroughwith the supply of gasto consumers, and it was located at thefoot of the hill:; near the parking place,the 2-inch W.I. main having becomebadly rusted. The pipe was openedand cleaned out for a distance of sixchains, and the supply was now verygood indeed. As the councillors hadseen the waste water lying in the gas-works yard, he asked for instructions.In view of the large demand forcrushed coke, and as councillors wereaware of the labour and machinery in-volved, he asked that the presentprices be reconsidered. He suggestedthat all crushed coke be increased inprice and sold by the bag and not byweight, unless going into Christchurcnover a weigh-bridge. For uncrushedcoke, he suggested that the price re-main as at present. During the recentheavy storm only four house electri-cal service lines carried away, and thisin no way interfered with the mainsupply. Twenty-two new poles hadbeen ordered and were due in about10 weeks. In the water works depart-ment 7,187,000 gallons was drawn fromthe Woolston and Dog Box wells, allthis being delivered to the Shag Bockreservoir. From the old station1,000,000 gallons was drawn and deliv-ered into the mains at Bedclifls. FromShag Rock 3,620,000 gallons was de-livered into the Upper Clifton reser-voir for the supply of the high pres-sure system. All the sewerage tankswere working satisfactorily and haddealt with surplus water during thestorm.

The report was received.The Commercial Bank wrote advis-

ing that 12 debentures in connexionwith the Redcliffs sewarage loan hadbeen paid, and would be forwarded.The town clerk stated, that the deben-tures had been received.

H. W. Heslop and Co. wrote advis-ing that in the estate of Miss Willettthe piece of land required had beendedicated and was now vested in thecouncil.

The Municipal Association wrotewith reference to local body taxation.The letter was received, the Mayorstating that he was of the opinion thatthe council should not lay Itself opento do anything at present. Each localbody had it? own Job to do, accordingto circumstances.

The South African Veterans' Asso-ciation invited the council to attendthe commemoration service in theCathedral on June 4.

Permission was granted to the YoungMen's Christian Association to collectin the borough on June 16.

A rather unusual request wasmade to the Mayor of Opotiki, MrG. S. Moody, after the swearing inof the new council, says the "DailyTelegraph." -Napier. A councillorasked the Mayor if he would de-cline to accept any honorarium.After, a resolution was carried thatin view of the difficult times nohonorarium be granted. TheMayor, who previously refused toexpress an opinion, contending thatthe matter was entirely one forcouncillors to decide, said that dur-ing his previous terms of office hehad neror accepted aa boiierariwm.

AMUSEMENTS.

CIVIC THEATRE.

"MARRY ME."

For the reopening as a picture houselast night after it had been occupiedfor more than a fortnight by theCompetitions, the management of theCivic Theatre presented a magnificentprogramme, in which the stars werethe popular Renate Muller and thegreat English comedian, GeorgeRobey.A large audience attended the reopen-ing, and thoroughly enjoyed the all-round British feature, "Marry Me"Senate Muller endeared herself a fewweeks ago to the picture public ofChristchurcn in "Sunshine Susie," and,remembering her triumph, her admir-ers were present in full force.

In "Marry Me" she appears as Frau-lein Ann Linden, a delightful littlepersonage, with a charming smile, arippling laugh, and simple ease inacting. She brings a distinctly re-freshing note to the talking screen,,and it finds its echo in all British!audiences. The actress is admirably!adapted to British comedy work, par-ticularly when it introduces songs!calling for a strong personality."Marry Me" is a sprightly musicalcomedy, with an excellent story-built,upon a strong fabric, and the starshave every opportunity of displayingtheir wonderful capabilities.

The scene is laid in a Continentaltown, and deals with the efforts-ofRenate Muller to ensnare a fellow-worker in a gramophone factory.inthe marriage net The operations ofa matrimonial agency are mixed upwith her efforts, and the role of Bern-stein, the proprietor, is played byHarry Green, the celebrated Jewishimpersonator. One of bis customersis Aloysius Novak (George Robey).who plays the part of a wealthy pigrfarmer in search of a wife. As adistinct elaboration of the methods ofthe usual matrimonial agency, Bern-stein has his own theatre, in which;talking films of eligible spinsters andbachelors can be screened, andthisde-:parture gives scope for some delight-ful comedy. .

Renate Muller is too clever an;actress to rely on charm alone toestablish her fame, and it would notbe surprising if, later, she,was. seenin more dramatic roles. In "MarryMe" she sings some captivating songswhich will probably be included inthe repertoires of the' whistHng mes-sage boys of the city before the seasonis far advanced, and they include"Will Somebody Marry Me?" "EarlyBirds," "A Little Sunshine." and "YouAre So Wonderful to Me." GeorgeRobey has been famous on. the.Eng-lish stage too long to need special com-ment He is his old brilliant self,complete with eyebrows, and bubblingover with humour. Harry Green hasample opportunities of displaying bishappy wit. and the supporting play-ers are in keeping with the standardset by the stars. They include lanHunter, Maurice Evans, Charles Haw-trey, Billy Caryll; Sunday WUshin,Nola Lyell, and Charles Carson.

An excellent crook drama, full ofsurprises, and starring Leon M. Lionana Elizabeth Allan, completes the

SPIVAKOVSKY-KURTZ TRIO.

FIRST CONCERT THURSDAYNIGHT.

Recalling the profound impressionmade by Jascha Spivakovsky when hemade a concert tour of New Zealandin 1922, it may safely be assumed ithat manymusic-loverswill be amdousto renew,acquaintance with one of themost forceful and individualistic musi-cians who has ever visited this country.At the age of 21' he was.already an in-terpretative artist of mature Judgmentana-insight. His remarkable technique;was merely a means to an end, ana itmay be expected that his developmentwill have been ■in-accordance with thehighest musical culture*: Now as-?sociated with the pianist are hisyounger brother, Tossy, tht favouriteviolinist throughout Europe and form?early leader of the Berlin Philhar-monic Orchestra, and Edmund Kurtz,the young 'cellist, who has been hailedin Sydney and, Wellington; as the fin-est 'cellist heard in these countriessince the first visit of Jean Gerardyin tm. These three eminent musi-cians have been playing together inEurope for the last two years, andhave everywhere been received withthe greatest enthusiasm. The "BerlinerTageblatt" last yearaccUilmed them as"the most notable acquisition to themusical life of Europe for severalyears." Three concerts will be_givenby the trio in Chrlstchurch, on Thurs-day, Saturday, and Monday next, atthe Radiant Hall. Plans are now openat The Bristol.

CURRENT WORK.Autumn sown onions germinated

well, and should come through thewinter in good condition. It is wellto keep the Dutch hoe stirring thesoil between them on every favour-able opportunity.

Plants of endive, which havegrown their full size, may be liftedand placed in a cold frame. Theseplants are easily blanched bycovering the frame with old sacksor any other clean material, whichwill ensure perfect darkness. Plantsin the open may be blanched bytying the dry foliage wth some softmaterial.

The ground for new plantations ofbush fruit should be deeply workedand well enriched if the land isin poor heart. These bushes aregrown for many years in one posi-tion, and the land must, to get goodresults, • be thoroughly worked.When the ground settles, plantingshould be proceeded with as soonas it can be managed.

Some of the regal pelargoniumswill now be ready for potting on.Give plenty of drainage, and potfirmly. This, with plenty of ven-tilation, will make good short-jointed Stock, especially if the plantsare not overcrowded. A good fumi-

gation should be given every few-weeks to keep down green fly, asthese plants are very subject to thisinsect.

Any zonal pelargoniums or geran-iums, as they are usually called, thatare beginning to get shabby in thegreenhouse or living-room should becut hard back and placed in ajframe along with the bedding geran-;iums that have been cut back andboxed off, keeping close and with-holding water until they break intogrowth. .

Cuttings of pentstemons, violas,calceolarias, and other bedding sub-jects, which were inserted in Marchand later should be well rooted,and the first consideration now isto get them thoroughly hardened.Give them abundance of air duringperiods of mild weather, removingthe lights altogether during, the day.Examine them occasionally, with aview to removing decaying foliage,and stir the soil with a pointedstick. Should aphis infect theplants, spray lightly with an insecti-cide.

FRUIT.and white varieties

will do -well in almdat any Kind ofsoil, while black currants delight ina good loamy, medium, and do bestwhen a cool root-run. Thepresenilis *',|ftofetimc for prepar-ing the soil, and'this work shouldfee done without delay. Trenchingis advisable, and unless the groundis already

* well enriched, a gooddressing of well-decayed manurecan be incorporated with the bot-tom spit. Ground thus preparedmust be allowed a few weeks toSettle before planting. Bed andwhite sorts are usually grown cup-shaped. Each bush should have anumber of upright main rods, andall laterals .should, be spurred backannually. ■Blackcurrants-'-are bestgrown as bushes, and the pruning ofthese is quite different to the systemadopted for red arid white varie-ties. Black currants fruit almost ex-clusively on the wood of the pre-vious season's growth, hence prun-ing will consist of the entire re-moval of old currant growths assoon as the fruit is gathered.

! During the growing season cur-rants of all kinds appreciate soak-ings with clear water and weakliquid manure, and a mulching ofshort decayed manure oyer the rootsduring hot weather is of the greatestvalue.

Propagating Bush Fruits—Thepropagation of all types of currantsand gooseberries is easily effected bymeans of cuttings taken during thewinter months. These must be madefrom shoots of the previous sum-mer's growth, those the same thick-ness ofa lead pencil being the best.They must be firm and well ripened,and when the cuttings are madeeach should be about 12 or 14 incheslong. It is best to cut close beneatha joint at the base, and the softtop of the shoot must be removed

1close to a bud. In the case of redand white varieties and goose-berries, all the. buds, with the ex-ception of four or five at the top,should be removed, as this will en-sure a clean stem for the futurebush. - Black currants are best whengrowths are pushed from the base,consequently all the buds are leftintact on the cuttings of these. Cut-tings of all types should be plantedas soon as made in well-drained,rather light soil, in rows 18 inchesapart, and the cuttings nine inchesasunder" in the rows. The follow-ing winter the best of the result-ing plants may be placed in theirpermanent quarters, or better still,all can be set out more thinly innursery quarters until they are twoor even three years old. Duringthat time water in abundance mustbe given when that is required, andthe plants kept free from weeds,otherwise they will be stuntedin growth, and be more liable to theattack of pests than they would bewhen well grown.

FLOWERS.Christmas Roses.—The flowers of

these are useful for decoration, and,in order to keep the blooms in goodcondition, a glass covered boxshould be placed over the plantsnow. this will not only keep theflowers pure in colour, but also in-creases the length of the stem, mak-Mg tham more valuable for decora-tive purposes. Before placing thebox In position, remove any deadfoliage, and prick up the soil witha fork. The box may be kept quiteclose till the flowers are fully ex-PC

Japanese . Irises.—These plantsprefer ground that is on,,the damp

side. Where the ground suits themas to moisture they increasequickly, necessitating dividing andreplanting when they get at allcrowded. The present would be agood time to do this, or to start thecultivation of the plant. They aregood plants for the water side. Theylook well in groups, also in goodlarge beds which make a wonder-ful sightf when in flower. Theyneed plenty of sun, and if plantedin the herbaceous border or infront of shrubs they will needplenty of water, if it is tik all dry.The flowering season is from De-cember to January.

Plants for Forcing.—Perhaps thebest plants for potting for green-house and living room decoration inearly spring are the spiraeas. Good,strong clumps should be purchasednow or potted up from the garden.Plants forced one year are not suit-able for forcing the following year.When the clumps have been liftedthe soil should be carefullyscratched away from the roots witha pointed stick, and potted in amixture of loam and well rottedmanure, with some sand or gritadded. They should then be placedin a cold frame and covered withleaves. They will not require anywater unless the soil is very dry.In a month's time those that showsigns of growth should be removedto the greenhouse and placed in acool part of the house. Afterwardsthey can be put in a warmer tem-perature, but it should not exceed55 degrees or the growth will beweakly. While growing freely theymust never be allowed to be shortof water, and the pots should bestood in saucers which are kept full.Spiraeas can be had in bloom fromAugust onwards, the last plantscoming into flower naturally with-out being forced at all. The lovelycrimson spiraea pajmata and itswhite variety can be used in thisway, as they do not stand beingforced. Spiraea astilboides, .iaponi-ca, and iloribunda are the bestkinds for early flowers.

Many other hardy plants can besimilarly treated, and provide asuccession of bloom in the monthsbefore the herbaceous border is be-ginning to flower again. Bleedingheart, or dielytra, is a most decor-ative pink flpwer, with beautifulfoliage. It requires rather largepots, as the roots are long andbrittle. There is also a whitevariety. Columbines make elegantplants in small pots in a cold house.Solomon's seal can be forced intobloom, or, if placed in a cold housenow, will flower some weeks beforethose in an open border. Whereroom can be found for them shrubssuch as prunus triloba, forsythias,and deutzias all flower well, andmake a grand display.. ,

CULTIVATION OFSUNFLOWERS.

WORK FOR SOLDIERS.

ENQUIRIES IN AUSTRALIA.

Sunflower cultivation, as a means ofemploying disabled formerservice men,was considered by a meeting of theDisabled Soldiers' Civil Re-establish-ment Committee yesterday afternoon.Mr H. Holland, M.P., presided, andothers present were Messrs E. F. Will-cox, A. H. Parfltt, J. Murphy, F. M.Robson, and W. E. Leadley (secretary).

In reply to an enquiry by the com-mittee, an Auckland firm, engaged inthe linseed oil and cattle cake busi-ness, wrote that sunflower cake wasundoubtedly a valuable stock food.In was used largely in European

[countries, and the main sources ofsupply were China, Russia, India, andItaly. In some cases the seeds werefed unground, but it was usual to ex-press the oil, leaving only a certainpercentage in the cake. The oil wasconsidered to be equal to olive oil forediblepurposes, but the market in NewZealand was very limited for oil ofthat description.

Possibilities in New Zealand.In the event of an overseas market

having to be found, it was questionableif New Zealand could compete againstthe countries mentioned. The letteradded that the firm had had no prac-tical experience of handling the sun-flower seed. The average crop ap-peared to produce 20001b of seed anacre, but that could possibly be con-siderably increased in New Zealand.Prices and future prospects were inthe lap of the gods.

It was decided to write to the De-partment of industries and Commercewith a view to securing informationfrom Australian firms.

on Boundary road, near Hororata, forthe systematic milling of a larger quan-tity of timber, whilst from the smallermill at Dorman's ■ plantation, Spring-field, a fair output is anticipated. Asdistant orders for box-wood, etc., arebeing received, it is confidently ex-pected that the combined output forthe three mills next season will com-pare favourably with that recordedin normal years.

"Some 422,980 superficial feet of pine,15,090 feet of gum, and 9200 feet ofOregon were sawn, for which a sumOf £651 14s 4d was received in roy-alty. The total quantity of firewoodsplit or sawn amounted to 1707 cords,included in which were 303 cords ofgum, 1125 cords of pine, and 219 cordsof wattle. In addition, some 6770stakes and 136 posts were cut as re-quired.

"On several occasions strong nor'-westers were responsible for the up-rooting of middle-aged pines, particu-larly in the Hororata and Darfielddistricts, but where practicable thesefallen trees have either been cut intofirewood by board employees or dis-posed of on a royalty basis to localresidents. It is very evident thattrees possessing heavy crowns have towithstand a tremendous wind pressureduring the prevalence of these occa-sional nor'-west gales, and the annualuprooting of 30 to 40-year-old pinesmay be expected.

"As many of the older pine standsare 40 to 50 miles from the city andfrom 10 to 20 miles from the nearestrailway siding the value of fallen tim-ber is somewhat discounted. (

Gums Affected by Dryness."Prominent among the effects of the

prolonged dryness is the failing ofwell-established eucalyptus over thedrier parts of the Canterbury plains,"the report says.

"Periodically specimens here andthere fail to withstand an unusuallydry summer, but on no previous occa-sion in my experience have the hard-woods suffered to such an extent asin the present year. Although to theparched state of the root system maybe attributed the failure of all ages,undoubtedly the strong, warm nor'-westers completed the damage bystarving and literally burning up thefoliage. Whilst a great check isgiven to these affected trees, in mostcases they will survive, although shockin some form or other is .given thetimber.

"As might be expected, trees, jn

common with members of the vege-table kingdom generally, contract dis-eases more readily arid are less ableto throw off the trouble when condi-tions for development are absent. Itwould therefore appear that the ex-tended planting of gums just now overthe more arid surfaces is attended withgrave risk.

Natural Regeneration."The important phase of natural re-

generation in the board's plantationsof eucalyptus obliqua (stringy bark),

I upon which much interest has beencentred of late, has also received a de-cided setback by intense dryness. Forsome years seedling gums have flour-ished under the canopy of selectedparent trees, and given indication ofa satisfactory replacement of the orig-inal stand of gums with little troubleor expense. On the heavier or moremoist surfaces the regeneration scheme,however, may still be regarded as com-pletely successful, but over a wide ex-panse of the plains further attemptsfclaid nature In replenishing partiaUy-cut*out exotic woods must be regardedas an uncertain proposition.

Work of Unemployed.The report makes 8 special refer-

ence to the good work done by un-employed from the city under the No.5 ScJIGIHG

The proposals for 1933-34, which areoutlined, include the raising of three-quarters of a million young trees atthe Darfleld nursery. . About 450 acreswUI be reafforested with various kinds

of timber trees. Sawmilling opera-tions will be carried on, and it is an-ticipated that about 1,000,000 superficialfeet of timber will be worked by thethree mills during the year.

MEETING OF BOARD.

DRY WEATHER HINDERINGWORK.

The continued dry weather wasmaking it impossible to proceed withIthe preparation of land for the season'sgeneral planting work, although a fewthousand pits were made over thelighter surface at Southbridge, saidthe monthly report of the SelwynPlantation Board's superintendent (MrR. G. Robinson) presented at a meet-ing of the board yesterday. The effectsof the combined influence of intensedryness and frequent nor'-westers werenow becoming more evident by thewithering of the foliage of even theolder-established gums throughout theplains.

Even hardy belts of the hardiereucalyptus and others in privately-owned as well as the board's standswere assuming a sickly appearance,and the ravages of gall disease, beetles,and scale further added to the seriousirritation of the trees. •

It was pleasing to record the successI attained this season in both tree-propagation and planting-out work.Nearly 1,000,000 trees had been raised,and these had developed into a normalsturdy lot. The young plantationswere successful, although the presentautumn growth had perhaps beenslightly less than in more favourableyears. •

Good progress was being made inthe cutting of pine and wattle andgum firewood, while the sale of sea-soned fuel was being well maintained.Representatives of the Returned Sol-diers' Association were now engagedat wood-cutting at Scarlett's planta-tion, and every assistance would begiven the cutters in making a successof their undertaking. The unemployedcamp had been re-established atSouthbridge, and men had been en-gaged during the last fortnight atscrub-cutting, fencing, and preparingpits for tree-planting.

The report was adopted.Mr W. Stewart presided over the

meeting.

EARLY DAYS OFVOLUNTEERING.

CANTERBURY UNITS.

i| FIRST SOCIAL EVENING.

For the first time since the oldvolunteer organisations were dis-banded in 1911 after the passing of thecompulsory training act, the membersof 19 units will meet at a socialgathering in the King Edward Bar-racks, Christchurch, to-morrow even-ing, for some time past a roll ofvolunteers who served with variousunits between the years 1866 and .1911has been in course of preparation byCaptain W. Murphy, of the New Zea-land Staff Corps, and much interest-ing history of the early days of volun-teering in Canterbury has emergedfrom the search for survivors of thevarious units.

Up to yesterday, Captain Murphyreported, a total of 672 names of ex-infantry unit volunteers had been re-corded. The numbers were distri-buted throughout the organisations asfollows:—First Battalion staff, four;Second Battalion staff, five; CityGuards, 62; College Rifles, 78; CityRifles, 29; Kaiapoi Rifles, 60; CycleCorps, 26; Highland Rifles, 64; Rangi-ora Rifles, 18; Imperial Rifles, 71;Civil Service Rifles, 38; SydenhamRifles. 59; Ellesmere Guards, nine;Linwood Rifles, 35; Native Rifles, 19;Bearer Corps, 52; Engineer Company,1C; Queen's Cadets, 20; and GarrisonBand, eight. There was also a num-ber of names available, from the oldIrish Rifles, the Richmond Rifles, andthe Heathcote Rifles, which were inexistence before the units were bandedtogether in battalions.

City Guards' Record.The history of these old volunteerunits is closely linked with the earlydays of Canterbury. Perhaps the old-est was the City Guards, which firstcame into existence in 1864. It was

accepted for service in 1866 under theVolunteer Act of the previous year.This is the only corps in New Zealandwhich has retained its history andtraditions without serious interrup-tion throughout the various changes involunteer organisations.

The unit handed its seniority on tothe present First Battalion, Canter-bury Regiment, which is now en-trusted with the traditions of thisearly organisation. By virtue of theseniority of this old corps, the Kingis at present the Colonel-in-Chief ofthe present Canterbury regiment. In1911 the old City Guards ceased toexist as a distinct entity.

Many iateresting letters have beenreceived by Captain Murphy whilehe has been organising the gatheringlof old volunteers, and the move tobring together men who served manyyears ago has been generally wel-comed. One of the oldest volunteers,

| in terms of service, who has so farbeen found is Captain Walter John-son, who now lives at Rangiora, andwho started his career in the juniorcadets in 1869, no less than 64 yearsago. He was associated with the Syd-enham Rules and also with the Wool-ston Rifles.

Remarkable Record.Colonel F. B. Cresswell, of Christ-church, has a remarkable record ofmore than 60 years' association with

volunteering. He began his careerwith the City Guards, and althoughhe is now more than 80 years of age,his name still appears on the retiredlist. Colonel the Hon. G. J. Smith,M.L.C., also has a record of manyyears' association with the volunteers.He, too, began with the City Goards*

later commanding the Second Bat-talion, North Canterbury InfantryVolunteers.

Captain A. P. Hopkins has had 47years with the volunteer movement,first being associated with the CycleCorps. Several other well-known re-sidents of Christchurch and the sur-rounding district have also revealedtheir association with the volunteers.Mr George Weston was one of the or-iginal members of the College Rifles,as also was Mr J. H. Poulton. Cap-tain J. Whiteside was an early mem-ber of the Irish Rifles, Colonel A. E.Loach of the Cycle Corps, and Mr J.Douglass of the Linwood Rifles. Sev-eral of these organisations date backfor many years, the Kaiapoi Rifles, theHighland Rifles, the Irish Rifles, andthe Richmond Rifles all being formedabout 1885.

It is expected that there will be alarge attendance at to-morrow even-ing's function, and the suggestion hasjbeen made that a permanent organi-sation should be formed.

CRITICISED BYASSIGNEE.

BANKRUPT ENGINEER.

ALLEGATIONS OF DISHONESTY.

Strong terms were used by theofficial assignee (Mr J. H. Robertson)

in describing some of the dealings ofReginald William Norman, an en-gineer, aged 30, at a meeting of Nor-man's creditors yesterday. Norman,who was represented at the bank-ruptcy meeting by Mr W. J. Stacey, |carried on business for some time as;the Car Disposal Company.

"I consider this one of the most un-satisfactory bankruptcies that havecome before me for some time," saidthe assignee. "Some >of bankrupt's,dealings have been dishonest, and Ifeel inclined to go further and saythere has been almost barefaced dis-honesty. There is no questionbut thatthe bankruptcy must be investigatedfurther, and it may be necessary totake further action of a more seriousnature."

The amount shown as owing to un-secured creditors was £441 lis. Theassets consisted of furniture valued at£4O and book debts of £32, leavinga nominal deficiency of £370.

History of Business.In his official statement, bankrupt

sot out that he had started business in1930 in Durham street for the buyingand selling of used cars, in associationwith Clarence Dalley. The capital ofthe concern was about £SOO in cashand £2OOO raised later as debentures.It was registered as the Car Disposal!Company, Limited, and carried onbusiness until December, 1931, when itwent into voluntary liquidation. Hisinterest in the concern had been 249fully paid £1 shares, which were inturn mortgaged to C. Dalley for theadvance of a similar amount. The com-pany was now in process of beingwound up. In January, 1932, he wentinto business in his own account inWorcester street, under the name ofthe Car Disposal Company. For thepurpose of this business he borrowed£IOOO from W. L. Clifford. Dalley hadbeen associated with this business atfirst, but had left it in April, 1932,when it was discovered the profitswere insufficient for two persons. Fromthat time bankrupt had carried onentirely on his own. until January.

1933, when he was obliged to assignthe whole of his assets, comprisingbook debts, to Clifford, in settlementof bankrupt's indebtedness to him.For the first five or six months of1932 the balance-sheet showed a profitof about £4OO. He had hoped to dis-count ihe greater part of the termswith the New Zealand Guarantee Cor-poration, Limited, but after negotia-,tions the corporation declined to ac-cept the agreements. By this timebusiness was gradually falling off, andhe was hard put to it for ready moneyto meet commitments.Until Clifford took action againsthim he had not realised how seriousthe position was.

Later Activities.Later he transferred a car to his

lather in payment of arrears" of rentand advances over a period of threeyears, lie spent £220 in acquiring aradio agency, and a further £l3B intravelling expenses during the lastInree or iour months..Cross-examined by the official as-signee, bankrupt said he was 30 yearsof age and was living apart from hiswife/ ISio assets had been concealedor put out of reach of his creditors

in the last year. For a start he hadbeen drawing £6 to £7, but later heJiad been drawing about £4, supple-menting this from the petty cash.Replying to a question, bankruptadmitted he still owed W. L. Clifford£750.The official assignee: That is not

shown in your schedule. It will bringyour deficiency to more than £IOOO.

Bankrupt: I regarded it as a per-sonal loan.

Connexion with Cabaret.Norman was questioned by the as-

signee concerning his connexion withthe "Red Devil" cabaret. He deniedthat he was in the cabaret business,stating that this cabaret was run bya friend of his.

The assignee: Some of the trans-actions concerning the cabaret havebeen in your" name?

Bankrupt: No.The assignee: Would you be sur-

prised to know that the gas accountis in your name.

Bankrupt: It might be so. I go outthere three or four nights a week, butthat is just for amusement. I am notpaid anything for what I do there. Ihave no official connexion with thecabaret.

The assignee: Isn't there a pianolathere belonging to you?

Bankrupt: It isn't mine. It is onhire purchase. The only money ofmine invested in it is the sum of £32mentioned by Mr Stacey.

Some of his creditors cross-exam-ined Norman at length, Mr M. J.Burns commenting that it seemedstrange that one car had found its wayinto the possession of bankrupt'sfather, and threeothers into the handsof former employees. The whole cir-cumstances of some of these recentdealings with cars, he said, were veryunsatisfactory.

The official assignee then made hiscomments on bankrupt's affairs, andadded, "I might say that my remarksrefer in no way to Dalley, who wasnot connected with any of the dealingsabout which they were made."

The meeting was adjourned to en-able to the assignee to make furtherinvestigations.

PEOPLE OF NAPIER.

ARCHBISHOP'S TRIBUTE.

(PRBSS ASSOCJATXOJt. MHJSMUK.)

NAPIER, May 22.Speaking at the opening of a new

chapel at St. Mary's Church yesterday.Archbishop O'Shea paid a tribute to .

the courage and fortitude of the Na-pier people in the reconstruction ofthe town after the earthquake.

"A little more than two years ago,"he said, "you were all involved in aterrible loss of life and propertycaused by the earthquake. That dis-aster brought all classes and all sec-tions of the community together, andalthough we can never bring back the.valuable lives - sacrificed in the cal-amity a splendid spirit has been cre-ated, due no doubt to the sacrifice*made and the splendid response of thepeople in an emergency in spite ofthe world-wide depression.

"Your city, rising from the ruins,will be far more beautiful than, be-fore the destruction. The wonderfulprogress speaks volumes for the deter-mination of the people. It is quitecertain that in a few years' time therestoration, of the material loss will »

be complete, and that all trace of thegreat disaster will be entirely oblit-erated. It - was my good fortune tovisit San Francisco nine years after ithad! been destroyed by earthquake,andby that time it had lost all signs ofthe calamity. A new and far morebeautiful city had arisen front to*ruins. The signs are that'this will bethe case with Napier, even before nineyears have elapseo, and that the people rof Napier will show the same courage.determination, and fortitude as thepeople of San Francisco."

NO PAIN.*

There is one for— o£ relief frompain that is always permissible."Don't let the patient suffer," says thedoctor, "for pain retards recovery."The nurse gives Bayer Aspirin, know-ing it can do no harm, only good.The patient takes it gladly, becauseit means immediate relief. Men andwomen use Bayer Aspirin tabletsfreely to spare themselves needlesspain.

Do you let Bayer Aspirin help youin all the ways it might? To end aheadache. Break up a cold. Soothea. sore throat. Ease the misery fromneuralgia or neuritis. Relieve theworst case of rheumatism, sciatica,lumbago. Quiet a grumbling tooth, orany other nagging pain. And BayerAspirin is the standby of many womenat times when they would sufferseverely without its aid!Be sure you take only Bayer Aspirin,because the genuine does not affectthe heart, derange the digestion orform a habit. All Chemists sellgenuine Bayer Aspirin in boxes of 12tablets, also bottles of 24 and 100 tab-lets—the Bayer Cross trade markappears on every tablet. BayerAspirin costs no more than the un-certain imitations and loudly-adver-tised substitutes which physicianswould not think of prescribing. SayBayer, and insist! —4}

City Council Committees.I One aspect of the appointment of

[ the standing committees of theChristchurch City Council last nightwill offend a great many citizens.The business was laid before acaucus of Labour members last weekand there settled; and it is difficultto imagine a plainer or crudermanifestation of Labour's partyconsciousness and its determinationto fit civic machinery with partycogs. The Labour group, in effect,arrogated to itself a right which be-longs to the council as a whole. Aquestion of considerable importanceto all councillors was settled by agroup of them, acting in no way andby no authority as delegates or acommittee of the full body but asa party majority. It is no answer tothis statement of the facts to saythat the council's right remainedintact; that it could have revisedthe lists; and that it did actuallychange one of them, by letting Cr.Thacker stand aside from the strenu-ous activity of the Baths and Enter-tainments Committee. It is noanswer, because the one change thatwas made is entirely indifferent, andbecause, as everybody knows, anyeffort to make a change displeasingto the Labour caucus would havebeen entirely hopeless. Nor is it anymore to the point to say that theLabour caucas has used its powermoderately, having appointed two:Citizens' Association members aschairmen of committees and having Idistributed membership with a sortof superficial evenness. Two obser-vations are enough to show howlittle there is in this contention. Thefirst was made by the deputy-Mayor, Cr. Archer—who may becongratulated on his unanimous re-election—when he said that, afterall, it did not matter about Cr. Bean-land's being chairman of the WorksCommittee; for Labour could onquestions of principle command amajority on the committee. The sec-ond is the obvious fact that the im-portant committees are not the bestthat could be chosen from aroundthe council table. They are not soconstituted as to bring together forthe service of the city the most ex-perienced and the best qualifiedcouncillors, without respect to party.For party considerations, strongclaims have been denied in favourof weaker ones; and this simplymeans that, for party considerations,the city will be less efficiently servedthan it might be. It will not indefin-itely acquiesce in a system whichgives it worse administration thanit bargained for through the ballot-box.

Labour Had a Plan.Mr J. A. Lee, in an address atSydenham Park reported in "The"Press" yesterday, assured hisaudience that, had the Labour party'seconomic policy been adopted "such"a stimulus would have been given"to internal industry that every"man in the Dominion would have"been left in employment, and it"jnight even have been possible to"have left open the door to immi-"gration." The assertion that NewZealand, alone among the countriesof the world, could have escaped thedepression need not be answered. IfMr Lee chooses to repeat it up anddown New Zealand his political op-ponents will not be alarmed, and hewill perhaps learn that it is a mis-take to underestimate the intelli-gence of electors. What is annoying,however, is the assumption that theLabour party has now, or has had atany time in the last two years, acoherent economic programme. Inthe election of 1931 Labour speakersskilfully side-stepped every impor-tant issue, confining themselvesmainly to denunciations of a Gov-ernment policy which had not beenannounced. In the subsequent ses-sions of Parliament the Labourparty has been equally successful inavoiding policy decisions whichmight have influenced the course ofevents. Its attitude over the ex-change controversy was a fairsample of its political strategy. Aslong as the scales were evenly bal-anced and a Labour pronouncementmight have tipped them either way,it preserved' a discreet silence. Afterthe Government had taken its de-cision the Labour party, relieved ofall responsibility, discovered thatexchange inflation was economically

| unsound and an injustice to theworking classes. A close reading of"Hansard " would probably revealthat most Labour members have ad-vocated, (1) the restoration of thepurchasing power of the workers,(2) the socialisation of credit, (3)national development works "for therelief of unemployment, (4) higherprotective duties, and (5) the fixingof prices. This is not a policy but acollection of phrases. The firststates a desirable objective. Thesecond means anything from Doug-las credit to a central reserve bank.The third raises the question ofwhat is to be developed and wherethe money is to come from. Thefourth, it seems, has not been verycarefully considered. Mr H. E. Hoi- ,

land advocates a complete embargoon all imported goods which are be-ing o$ «ould be awanufactwred in

New Zealand. Other members ofthe party prefer to keep clear of thesubject. The fifth phrase—" the fix-"ing of prices'"—has been givenmany meanings. According to MrLee it "simply means the fixing of"the value of the pound, just as the"foot or the acre or the pound"weight are fixed by law." There is"no question of inflation." EitherMr Lee is a simpleton or he thoughthe was talking to simpletons. Ifthe members of the ParliamentaryLabour party had a policy which

they were prepared to stand by theywould set it out in print so that itcould be understood and criticised.

War Debts.It is becoming increasingly clear

that the war debts issue will bethe main obstacle to the success ofthe World Economic Conference.After the Washington conversationsat Easter Mr MacDonald announcedthat Mr Roosevelt had accepted theBritish view that it was essentialto settle the war debts questionbefore the conference began. Thehigh hopes aroused by this state-ment are now beginning to fade.In less than a month America'sdebtors will be asked to pay a fur-ther instalment under the variousfunding agreements, yet revisionis not in sight and there isno suggestion „of a moratorium. Onthe contrary, it seems from thismorning's cable news that Congressis as stubbornly opposed as everto either cancellation or substantialreduction. Its attitude towards thecreditor nations is summed up in

I the phrase: "Pay or default";though there is some suggestionthat honest creditors will be re-warded. If this attitude is notmodified France will default, sincethere is a substantial majority inthe Chamber of Deputies opposedto further payments on the presentscale. The British Government willthen be left in a very awkwardposition. In 1933 it is due to paymore than £60,000,000 at thepresent rate of exchange, a figurewhich includes an additional in-stalment in respect of the mora-torium year. Though no provisionis made for such a payment in thecurrent estimates, the money couldprobably be found. The questionis whether any useful purposewould be served by meeting anobligation which, in the eyes of thegreater part of the world, hasceased to be a moral obligation.The immediate consequence ofheavy gold shipments to America—-and payment by any other meansis impossible—would be violent ex-change fluctuations, involving afurther contraction of world trade.But the political consequences of adecision by the British Governmentto pay in full would be even worse.France v/ould feel that she hadbeen isolated; and the internationalgoodwill created by the Easter dis-cussions would be destroyed. If theWorld Economic Conference is tobe fully successful, there must bea general agreement on war debtsanalogous to the general agreementon reparations. Any benefits ob-tained from bilateral revisions willbe heavily outweighed by thepolitical antagonisms aroused.

CITY SINKING FUNDCOMMISSIONERS.

CR. ARCHER ASKS TO BERELIEVED.

Because of his many duties asDeputy-Mayor and as a member ofseveral committees, Cr. J. K. Archerasked the Christchurch City Coun-cil last night to relieve him from hisposition as a City Sinking FundCommissioner.

When his resignation was ac-cepted, Cr. Archer proposed Mr J.McCombs, M.P., for the vacant seat;but this motion was lost and theappointment of the commissionerwas referred to the Finance Commit-tee for a report

Cr. Archer said that because ofhis many duties as a member ofvarious committees, and on the Hos-pital Board, he would like to resignhis position as a sinking fund com-missioner.

Cr. Lyons moved that the mattershould be referred to the FinanceCommittee for a report.

Cr. Thacker moved as an amend-ment that Cr. Archer's resignationshould be accepted. This was sec-onded by Cr. A. E. Armstrong.

The amendment was carried.Cr. Archer then moved that Mr

J. McCombs, M.P., should be ap-pointed to fill the vacancy.

Fee of £SO.Cr. E. H. Andrews moved an

amendment that the matter shouldbe referred to the By-laws and Fin-ance Committee for report. If theposition was held outside the coun-cil, the holder received a fee of £ 50.

The Mayor (Mr D. G. Sullivan,M.P.) said that apparently afixed amount of £2OO wasdistributed each year betweenthe three commissioners andtheir solicitors, Messrs Duncan,Cotterill, and last year two com-missioners had each received £SOand the firm had received £IOO onaccount of extra work. Cr. Archerhad received no payment.

Cr. M. E. Lyons, seconding theamendment, referred "to Mr Mc-Combs's frequent absences fromChristchurch. He thought one ofthe commissioners should be a mem-ber of the council. The time wasnot far distant when the councilmight have to make a closer investi-gation of its sinking fund policy.

The Mayor emphasised Mr J. Mc-Combs's qualities and said he couldvote whole-heartedly for themotion.

The amendment was carried by 10votes to seven, Crs. Mathison, Arm-strong, Thacker, and Evans all vot-ing with the Citizens' Association'sgroup.

General News.

Whooping Cough Prevalent.Whooping cough is so prevalent

among the children who attend theHororata school that the school com-mittee has decided tokeep the schoolclosed until June 5.

Internal Loan Proposal.The reasons advanced by the

Christchurch City Council in favourof raising an internal loan are re-ceiving consideration by the Gov-ernment, according to a letterwhich the council received at itsmeeting last night from the PrimeMinister (the Rt. Hon. G. W.Forbes).

Health Statistics.An increase of two cases of infec-

tious and other notifiable diseaseswas reported in the CanterburyHealth District for the week endednoon yesterday, as compared withthe total reported in the Canterburyand West Coast Health Districts theprevious week. The total was 15, asfollows:—Canterbury: Scarlet fever,eight: enteric fever, one; tubercu-losis, two; pneumonic influenza, one;erysipelas, two; lethargic encepha-litis, one. No cases were reportedfrom the West Coast. There weretwo deaths in the Canterbury dis-trict, one each tuberculosis andlethargic encephalitis.

Road Widening.Following on representations

made by the Opawa and Hills-borough Residents' Associationarrangements are being made bythe Heathcote County Council forroad widening operations in theHillsborough riding. In respect ofthe Garland's road and Aynsley ter-race corner, it has been found thatthe land necessary belongs alreadyto the council, and as to the cornerof Grange street and Aynsley ter-race, the required land has beengiven by Mr Charies Menzies. Rep-resentatives of the county still haveto wait on the Hon. G. J. Smithrelative to the land required towiden the corner of Aynsley terraceand Hills road.

Helping Unemployed Boys."It is remarkable what employers

will do for boys who are in urgentneed," said Mr V. French at ameeting of the South ChristchurchBoys' Employment Committee lastevening. "If boys are willing togo into the country many farmersare ready to provide work for them.Only a few days ago four boys Iknow of were taken into employ-ment by farmers. It was not acase of cheap labour, for the boysdid not know even how to milk;but they now have employment,they are willing to learn, and thefarmers have thus been able to doa great service for them."

Newspapers' Help Appreciated."I would like to say, as an out-

sider," remarked Mr H. Holland,M.P., at the gathering of the YoungMen's Christian Association lastnight, "that the association greatlyappreciates the splendid servicesthat the Christchurch newspapershave rendered to it. (Continued ap-plause.) They have backed up thework of the association in every pos-sible way, and I would like thepeople of Christchurch to know howmuch we appreciate what they havedone."

Activities at the Sanatorium.Patients of the Cashmere Sana-

torium express more of their brighthumour in the May number of theCashmere Sanatorium magazine. Agreat deal of space is taken up bydescriptions in verse of the activi-ties of the patients, and this montha special article on the treatmentof pulmonary diseases has beencontributed by the medical direc-tor (Dr. J. C. Macintyre). One ofthe important announcements madeis that the present editor will notedit the magazine any longer, ashe is now able to return to hishome. He wishes all patients aspeedy return to health.

Unauthorised Sales.A complaint that several persons

were calling from house to, house,selling slippers and similar goods,and alleging that they had theauthority of the Disabled Soldiers'Handicraft depot, was made by MrA. H. Parfitt at a meeting of theDisabled Soldiers' Civil Re-estab-lishment Committee yesterdayafternoon. Mr W. E. Leadley (sec-retary) said that each person sentout by the depot was provided witha letter of authority. He had madeenquiries as to the registration ofthe name, but had found that itwould be necessary to register as acompany. There was actually noprotection in the registration of thename because some one else couldstart in business using almost thesame name, but with the omissionof one word. The committee decidedto make the position clear by adver-tisement.

Thanks for Publicity."I should like the committee to

expression its appreciation of the as-sistance given by the Christchurchnewspapers in finding work for dis-abled men," said Mr W. E. Leadley,at a meeting of the DisabledSoldiers' Civil Re-establishmentCommittee yesterday afternoon. Heexplained that an appeal had beenmade recently through the press forhelp for a soldier in setting up asecond-hand book exchange. The re-sponse had been excellent andparcels had come from as far awayas Waiau, one woman sending in 53volumes. The man was now ableto start business and had nearly 1000books. The chairman (Mr H. Hol-land, M.P.) also expressed his 'ap-preciation which was placed in theform of a resolution, and carriedunanimously.

Price of Poppies.The following suggested remit for

the annual conference of the NewZealand Returned Soldiers' Associ-ation was rejected at the fortnightlymeeting of the Christchurch execu-'tive last evening:—"That in viewof the inability of many people,in present circumstances, to affordone shilling for poppies sold onPoppy Day, manufacturing associa-tions be authorised to make smallerpoppies for sale at 6d, in additionto the Is poppies, and that Id capi-tation be charged by headquarterson the smaller poppies." The re-mit was sponsored by Mr W. E.Leadley, and members expressedthe view that it involved a verybig principle. It was stated thatit had been a burning questionwhen the arrangements for lastPoppy Day were in progress. Theproposed remit was rejected by alarge majority.

METHODS OFVOTING.

MARKS OR CROSSES

PREFERRED.

MR FREEMAN'S REPORT TOCITY COUNCIL.

A strong recommendation that ifthe city elections are again con-ducted under the first-past-the-postsystem the positive method ofvoting by marks or crosses shouldbe substituted for the negativemethod of striking out names wascontained in the report on the re-cent elections, which the SubstituteReturning Officer (Mr Albert Free-man) submitted to the ChristchurchCity Council last night.

During the last session of Parlia-ment, Auckland secured authority toreturn to this method under theterms of the Auckland City Em-powering Act. The returning officerfor the Wellington municipal elec-tions has made the same recom-mendation, and legislation author-ising Wellington to make the changeis to be introduced when Parliamentresumes.

Election Night Advantage.''While admitting that under the

proportional representation systemno definite result is conveyed exceptin respect of candidates who havesecured a large number of first pre-ferences, the preliminary countunder the first-past-the-post systemwould take a much longer time,specially when, as in the councillors'issue, the erasure of 27 names wouldbe necessary before a voting paperbecame valid," stated Mr Freeman."If the first-past-the-post system isagain introduced into these electionsI strongly recommend that a posi-tive form of voting by a mark ora cross should be reinstated, a re-commendation also made by the re-turning officer for the Wellingtonmunicipal elections and by a speciallocal act in force in Auckland. Butwhatever objection is taken to theproportional representation systemit has the saving grace of being thequickest method for ascertaining thepreliminary count at the pollingbooths, as the first preference onlyon each paper is then required."

Percentages of Informal Votes.Mr Freeman appended an interest-

ing table showing the numbers ofvotes, the systems under which theywere cast, and the percentages ofinformal papers at each of the elec-tions since 1917:

*lf the informal votes (753) madeby misnumbering only are takeninto consideration, the proportion ofsuch votes is reduced to about 2.5per cent.

The table shows plainly that thelowest percentages of informal voteswere recorded under the method ofmarking with crosses (flrst-past-the-post system) and very much thehighest percentage (17.7 per cjnt.)under the method of striking outnames with the same system.

Details of Informalities.In the following table Mr Free-

man compared the percentages ofinformal votes polled in each of thefour elections of 1931 and 1933:

In the City Council election theinformal votes were classified as fol-lows:Old system of marking, either

by Xor striking out names 423Misnumbering, either by leav-

ing out or duplicating oneof the figures, 1, 2, and 3 753

Votes by Declaration.Of the 1569 votes recorded by de-

claration, only 63, equal to 4 percent., were allowed. Mr Freemancommented: "Unbridled use is madeof this means of voting by manynot entitled to do so, but it is bet-ter to accept declarations whichhave no valid claim than to dis-franchise an elector whose namehad inadvertently been omittedfrom the- roll."

The district electors' roll con-tained the names of 50,705 electors,of whom approximately 57 per cent.voted as against 63.3 per cent. at. the1931 elections.

Cr. J. K. Archer suggested thatsome exchange might be made.

Cr. W. Hayward said that he, too,was on the Abattoir, Reserves, andMilk Committee. He felt he couldserve the council better on the By-laws and Finance Committee. Thecouncil should use its available tal-ent to the best advantage.

Cr. Archer (to the Mayor):Is it not correct that the relativepositions of our friends on the otherside were suggested to you.

Cr. E. H. Andrews said that he hadsubmitted a list of the candidates ontheir side, and that list had beenincorporated in the Mayor's nomi-nations. He had pointed out theposition to Cr. Hayward, and he hadunderstood that Cr. Hayward wouldaccept it. If, however, a mutual ex-change were agreed on there couldbe no objection.

No changes were suggested andCrs. Armstrong and Hayward re-mained on the Abattoir, Reserves,and Milk Committee.

A Sharp Exchange.Cr. H. T. J. Thacker asked to be

emitted from the Baths and Enter-tainments Committee/ He consideredthat he was past that stage. To thisremark Cr. Lyons objected.

Cr. Thacker: Cr. Lyons is only apup; he is not grown up yet.

The Mayor asked him to withdrawthe remark.

Cr. Thacker: I do; he's got hiseyes open.

Cr. Lyons: Well open to you!The Mayor said that Cr.

Thacker had no say in the questionwhether or not he should be re-moved from the committee.

Cr. Lyons moved, in deference toCr. Thacker, that his name shouldbe dropped.

The motion was carried.Cr. Thacker then moved that Cr.

Armstrong, who was down for theTown Planning Committee, and Cr.Mabel Howard, who was on theWorks Committee, should be madeto change places.

Cr. Armstrong seconded the mo-tion.

Cr. Howard said that as a newchum on the council the only workshe knew anything about was cov-ered by the Works Committee, andshe would be sorry to be omitted.Her work for the last few years hadkept her closely in contact with thecouncil's workers.

The Mayor: Does anyone elsewish to speak?

Cr. Lyons: What can we do afterthat?

Called to Order.Cr. Thacker asked for a division,

remarking "We want to see wherethe coalition stands."

The Mayor called him sharply toorder, stating that while he was en-titled to call for a division he wasnot entitled to make comments 01that kind.

Cr. Armstrong: There is a lot inwhat he said, all the same.

The Mayor: You are out of order,Cr. Armstrong.

Cr. Thacker: Then give him a doseof Epsom salts.

The Mayor again warned Cr.Thacker that the standing orderswould be strictly enforced.The motion was lost, Crs. Thacker,Armstrong, and Evans voting infavour of it.

Cr. Armstrong moved that Cr.Archer should replace Cr. Beanlandas chairman of the Works Commit-tee. The Labour party, with hisvote, he said, could govern the city,and it was the party's duty to con-trol the Works Committee, whichwas the principal spending commit-tee of the council and had constantcontact with the workers.

Cr. Thacker seconded the motion.Cr. Archer returned his thanks.

He said that should the ques-tion of principle arise Labour hadfive of the eight members of thecommittee. Cr. Beanland, he said,was best fitted for the work, andhad in the past faithfullyand loyallycarried out his duties.

Cr. Archer said he wished to havehis name withdrawn.

0 Not Consulted.Cr. F. T. Evans said he agreed

with some of Cr. Armstrong's re-marks, although he did not supporthim in this particular matter. "Itseems to me there has been a certainamount of—l will not say collusion—but of working together as regardsthese committees," he continued."That being so, each one of us shouldhave been asked what committeeswe should have liked to serve on.It is not that I am personally dis-satisfied, but I feel others may be.I feel this section of the council hasbeen neglected. Two years ago Iwas rung up by you and askedwhich committee I wished to serveon, though nothing of that sort hap-pened this time."

Cr. Thacker: He wanted your vote."There have been no negotiations

of any sort," said the Mayor. "Someyears ago such a thing did happen,and it was one of the most unfor-tunate things I have experienced inthe council. It is true oneof the councillors on this (in-dicating the Citizens' Associa-tion members) side of the tabledid hand me a list, but though someof the names on the final list are thesame, it has not been. 4 followed.There has been no bargaining or dis-!cussion of any kind between theCitizens' Association side and theLabour side of the table."

Cr. E. R. McCombs said someyears ago, when Cr. Thacker wasMayor, he had asked her whichcommittees she would serve on. Shehad named the Finance and WorksCommittees, but had ultimatelyfound herself concerned with Re-serves and Baths.

The amendment was lost. (

MODERN LIFE.

PLACE OF UNIVERSITIES.

SPEECH BY GOVERNOR-

GENERAL.

[THE PBESS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, May 22.Some observations on the place

of universities in modern life, andparticularly in the crisis throughwhich the world is passing, weremade by the Governor-General,Lord Bledisloe, in his address atthe jubilee reception at the Auck-land University College.

"Any university, in order to exer-cise its most vitalising and stimu-lating influence in its civic environ-ment, should within bounds enjoythe freedom of speech, of policy,and of curricula" said his Excel-lency. "It should in a general andnon-partisan sense mould politicsrather than' be moulded by them.For this reason, if for no other,although the State grants are to alarge extent proper and essentialfor university maintenance, revenuederived to a substantial extent fromoutside endowments is of a highvalue in ensuring that spirit ofvirile independence and untram-melled breadth of outlook whichhave characterised throughout theages all the great universities of theworld. It is difficult to conceiveany object of testamentary benevo-lence more worthy of beneficentconsideration by far-sightedpatriots.

Industrial Stagnation.'Amid conditions of unparalleled

industrial stagnation, it may be wellto contemplate with a long rangevision the effect of economic tribu-lation on the prospects of the uni-versity. Funds may be lacking forthe extension of premises, but bear-ing in mind that industrial pros-perity is a vital condition of pro-fessional well-being, and that theformer is increasingly dependent ongreater and more precise know-ledge, especially in the fields of ad-vanced science and post-war eco-nomics, the need of such highereducation as only universities canprovide becomes more insistent andmore widely recognised.

Democracy."Democracy is in theory the most

perfect form of government. A uni-versity which is not democratic inits administration, its human ambit,and its curriculum, is unworthy of(the name, but if the modern inter-ipretation of democracy as applied to!the higher grades of educationmeans the levelling down of educa-tional, and inferentially vocationalstandards, instead of levelling themup, if it involves putting a premiumon intellectual mediocrity, and thestifling of the genius of a nation, thesupreme academic embodiment ofsuch a system is not a university,but may more fitly be called a work-house or prison. The world, andpre-eminently that large part of itover which floats the Union Jack, iscrying aloud to-day, not for humanmediocrities, raised in an atmo-sphere which obstructs normalgrowth, but for men and women ofcommanding intellectual and moralstature, who will fearlessly, pru-dently, and confidently become lead-ers, not only in public life (of para-mount importance though that be)but in every branch of professional,industrial, and commercial activity;who, instead of truckling to the lackof knowledge or weaknesses of theproletariat, will promote its greaterwelfare by courageously and know-ledgeably indicating, and construc-tively opening up the paths bywhich national prosperity, content-ment, and happiness may beachieved, and once achieved perma-nently maintained."

ARMS REDUCTION.OBSTACLES REMOVED AT

GENEVA.BRITISH COMMENT ON INJEW

DEVELOPxMENTS.

RUGBY, May 21.■Heiief and satisfaction are ex-pressed at the developments in theDisarmament Conference. HerrRudolph Nadolny's statement of theGerman position removes an im-mediate and formidable obstacle toprogress. The atmosphere is greatlyimproved, and although manydoubts and difficulties still confrontthe conference the possibilities ofsuccess have been considerably en-hanced.

"The Times" says the statementindicated the changed attitude ofGermany, from that of defiant criticto that of fellow-worker in a com-mon task. What made the negotia-tions with Germany so difficult inthe recent past has been that thenew regime has tended to place it-self in a position separate fromother nations; to regard itself as suf-fering from wrongs which nobody isprepared to alleviate; to cut itselfoff, in fact even from those actuallytrying to extend a helping hand.This sullen temper could only leadto isolation and that chaos and Com-munism which Herr Hitler foresaw.There can be some hope now thatfriendly contact with Germany willbe maintained, and that the spiritof the Four-Power Pact will provea solution of other difficulties.

1 Changed Prospect.The "Daily Telegraph" -describes

Friday's sitting as auspicious, be-cause large, all-round effective dis-armament is the basis of the Britishplan, the governing purpose of MrRoosevelt's noble message, and theonly hope for the world. "The baro-meter," it says, "may not yet stand'set fair." but it certainly touches'fair.' Only a week ago it wasstormy."

The "Morning Post" says the pre-vailing opinion in Geneva is thatGermany's new attitude must betaken at its face value, opening upa definite avenue to success.

FRENCH FEARS.

NO SACRIFICE OFSECURITY.

GERMANY SUSPECTED.

(Received May 22, 7.5 p.m.)

LONDON, May 21.A memorable week in the world's

history has closed on a note ofcautious optimism. France remainssceptical, and fears that Herr Hit-ler's new moderation cannot begenuine. Frenchmen now ask:

Did Herr Hitler call the .Reich-stag together with the intentionof following Herr von Papen andBaron von Neurath with a simi-lar aggressive declaration?

Did he alter the tone of hisspeech at the last moment, in theface of firm words from GreatBritain and America?

Is Germany's change of fronta mere manoeuvre to force Franceon to the horns of a dilemma, sothat she will be either rushed intoacceptance of a plan of deficientsecurity or be charged with ob-structing a settlement?

Insistence on Control.The Paris correspondent of the

"Manchester Guardian" • says thatcontrol has become the watchwordof France's disarmament policy. She jis prepared to disarm conditionallyon the international control of arma-ments being agreed on. Her policyis primarily aimed at Nazi Ger-many, which, she declares, cannotbe

!trusted to fulfil her promises not torearm.

The Geneva correspondent of "LePetit Parisien," explaining whyFrance must demand control, saysthat now Herr Hitler has acceptedthe MacDonald plan, the Germandelegation is trying to transfer toFrance the responsibility for ham-pering the progress of the Disarma-ment Conference. Therefore Francemust show willingness to disarm,but must insist on control.

The French newspapers urge M.Paul-Boncour, the Foreign Minister,who will go to Geneva, not to tieFrance's hands without completesecurity, regarding which the guar-antees i: the British draft conven-tion are insufficient.

The Paris correspondent of the"News-Chronicle" says that theSocialist newspaper, "Le Populaire,"declares that the Cabinet, at astormy meeting, instructed M. Paul-Boncour to accept the British dis-armament plan on condition that in-ternational control of armamentswas established, ana disarmamenteffected in stages.

M. Daladier leaves little doubtabout his determination to yieldnothing except in exchange for in-violable guarantees.

A CRISIS PASSED.

GREAT BRITAIN'S SHARE INWORK.

LONDON, May 21.Mr J. H. Thomas (Secretary of

State for the Dominions), speakingat the Empire Day celebration atDerby, said that last week theworld had been perilously nearwar. It was a crisis, and therenever was a moment when weought to be more thankful that thedanger had passed. No nation hadcontributed more to the dispersalof the clouds than Great Britain.

BRITISH DISARMAMENTPLAN.

INTERNATIONAL LABOUR'SAPPROVAL.

PARIS, May 21.A joint declaration by the Inter-

national Federation of TradeUnions and the Labour SocialistInternational expresses the opinionthat the British disarmament plan,though inadequate, is acceptable asa basis for discussion to secure thesuppression of offensive armaments,the conclusion of pacts of non-ag-gression, and undertakings in nocircumstances to resort to violenceand invasions.

AMERICA'S ATTITUDE.

CONGRESS STILL AGAINSTCANCELLATION.

POSSIBILITY OF RELIEFFOR BRITAIN.

(C'-Ml'Kt) P!!ESS ASSOCIATION—Br EI.F.LTRIUTKLEOKAI'H—COPT RIGHT.)

(Received May 22. 9.45 p.m.)

WASHINGTON, May 21.With Congress tentatively due to

adjourn early in June, there is muchspeculation about any definite policyon war debts, which the Presidentmay take before the convening ofthe World Economic Conference.Earlier reports that he was preparedto send a message to Congress re-questing tiie power to negotiate anagreement during the recess arewidely denied in Congressionalcircles, and it appears obvious to ob-servers that despite some change ofopinion, a majority in Congress isstill opposed to cancellation or ex-tensive revision.

j However, Mr Roosevelt's messageI asking for power to negotiate tariffI treaties will probably be presentedsoon, with no serious opposition ex-pected, although in anticipation ofI possible wholesale defaults on thepayments due on June 15, the atti-tude of "pay or default" is widelyexpressed.

Sympathy lor Britain.Informed observers understand

that Mr Roosevelt; is still hopefulthat his original policy of accept-ing proposals for readjustment fromindividual nations, and transmittingthem to Congress for approval or re-jection, may prove successful. Hehopes this may at least be so in thecase of Great Britain. It is felt thatthis nation's debt was funded on ex-ceedingly hard terms, and a specificrequest for readjustment might beaccepted by Congress.

LONDON, May 21.The English, French, and Spanish

underwriters who insured theGeorges Philippar's cargo havestarted an action for £1,125,000against the Messageries MaritimesCompany in the French Courts.

The decision follows the under-writers' receipt of the official find-ings about the cause of the disaster,which are understood to contain dis-quieting evidence.

[The Georges Philippar, the greatFrench passenger motor ship, wasburned and sunk in the Gulf of Adenon May 16, 1932, with the loss of 41lives.]

BRISBANE, May 22.A wireless message received from

Thursday Island states that the Dal-croy was refloated and is now onher way to Thursday Island. Theextent of the damage is not stated,but the forepart of the ship is ap-parently holed, as an earlier mes-sage stated that the vessel wasaground from the stem to about theforemast, and was making water inthe forepeak and number one hold.The Dalcroy went ashore on DoveIslet, a little to the north-east ofThursday Island.

[An earlier message stated: Thesteamer Dalcroy (4558 tons), boundfrom Java to Auckland, has sent awireless message saying that she isashore on Dove Islet. Apparentlyher position is not dangerous. Thereis no further information.]

NEW YORK. May 21.For the first time since the de-

pression began the United Stateshas enjoyed two months of unin-terrupted advances in business andcommerce, stimulating cheerfulnessand confidence that domestic andinternational problems still pendingare adjustable.

The country's steel activities areapproaching 40 per cent. ofcapacity; car loadings continue torise; building operations are in-creasing, and wholesale commodityprices have risen, on the average.12 per cent.

Individual items have shown stillmore surprising gains. Wheat hasrisen 50 per cent., wool 50 percent., and sugar 20 per cent. Farmcommodity prices are rising fourtimes more quickly than non-agri-cultural products, reversing a trendthat has existed for years betweenthe goods the farmer sells and thosehe buys.

The Government figures show a1 3-5 per cent, gain in employmentin April.

Some idea of the extent andrapidity of *he upward movement inindustrial activities is given by thefigure for steel production—4o percent, of capacity. On the authorityof the "Hew York Times" businessindex, which is regarded as very re-liable, steel production for the weekending March 25 was only 14.6 percent, of the estimated normal—orlittle better than one-third of thesent figure. This was probably thelowest level touched during thedepression. At the beginning ofApril, 1932, when American businesswas estimated to be about 10 perrent, better than in March, 1933. steelproduction was at 25.2 per gent, olnormal.

The combined business index of the"New York Times" was movingslowly upwards at the end of Febru-ary, 1933, when the American mone-tary crisis sent it down to a newlow level. As the banking situationimproved, the index recovered, and ifother indexes have moved in any-thing like the same way as steel pro-duction, is probably higher now thanat any time since early in 1932, whenit was steadily moving down to thelow level of last winter.

OUTCRY IN LONDON PRESS.

(L'.NITED PrtESB ASSOCIATION"—BT ELECTEIOTELEaRAJ'H—COPYiUGHT.)

(Received May 22, 9.30 p.m.)LONDON, May 21.

England had its first taste ofbodyline bowling, when E. A. Mar-tindale and L. N. Constantine (ofthe West Indies team) bowled atLord's against D. R. Jardine'sMarylebone Cricket Club team.

It was only the merest shadow ofthe bodyline attack as practised inAustralia, as the leg side was notpacked, but it caused an immediateoutcry in the press.

The "Sunday Dispatch" suggeststhat Jardine may change his viewson the bodyline attack if he hasto face the two "dark demons" onMonday.

Batsman Struck.The "News-Chronicle" empha-

sises that it is significant that whilethe Marylebone Club is debatingdangerous bowling, a case shouldhave occurred under its very eyes.It remarks that the Australians' pro-posal to empower the umpire to no-ball a dangerous delivery lookedvery reasonable while Constantineand Martindale were bowling. Bothstruck Hulme severe blows, andHulme twice sank to the turf ingreat pain. Hulme and Hearne es-caped serious injury only by persis-tent ducking. Their strokes mostlyrepresented a desperate effort toprotect their heads. The "Sketch,"on the contrary, contends that thebowling was fair. Premature"squealing" would make Englandridiculous in Australian eyes afterthe bitter English complaints aboutAustralian "squeals."

The West Indies players blame theerratic pitch for the trouble. Martin-dale said he was not bowling at thebatsman's body and did not pitchshort.

The wicket-keeper, Barrow, saidthat the bowlers were pitching onthe off-stump and breaking.- Thebatsmen were hit through runninginto the ball.

Crowds Out of Control.The article quotes in heavy type

M. A. Noble's testimony that Lar-wood was not unfair and did notbowl at the man, and then proceeds:

"The Marylebone Club paid Aus-tralia a compliment by sending thebest team possible. We, on ourpart, paid our opponents a compli-ment by playing our best forMarylebone, though fn some quar-ters this has not apparentlybeen ap-preciated as it might have been. TheAustralian Board could have helpeda great deal, but these rulers ofcricket, rightly or wrongly, did notsee their way to do so. They failed,as on other tours, to control theircrowds.

"In the eyes of many Australiansthe board let Australia clown. For20,000 or 30,000 people to participatein the counting-out of a bowler, oryell 'No ball,' or barrack the um-pire, is neither sporting nor funny.In the long run, if not checked, Ifear barracking may kill most ofthe "joy in the gsme.

"I cannot praise the Maryleboneteam sufficiently. I was proud, in-

TRAMWAY BOARDELECTION.

*

PURGING OF ROLLS.

MR MCCOMBS ASSAILED'

BY MEMBERS.

ALLEGATIONS RESENTED.

"The statement made by Mr J.McCombs that the Citizens' Associa-tion members of the TramwayBoard are preparing to strike off theroll a number of electors, is as un-fair as it is untrue," said Mr W.Hayward, at the meeting of theChristchurch Tramway Board yes-terday afternoon. "The Citizens'Association members have had nomore to say or do in this matterthan each and every other memberof the board."

Mr Thompson, in his capacity asreturning officer, was followingregulations issued by the Governor-General in Council in 1930, andexactly the same procedure wasbeing adopted as at the last electionthree years ago, Mr Hayward said.It was obvious that thousands ofchanges of residence must takeplace in three years, and it wouldnot be any hardship to those whohad changed their addresses to ad-vise the board of such change.

"We do not wish to disfranchisea single elector who has the rightto vote," said Mr Hayward. "Out-breaks of this sort do a tremendousamount of harm, for they misleadthe public. There are charges laidat our door that I cannot follow; forI know that Mr McCombs does notmake these errors through lack ofknowledge—he has a grip of any-thing he tackles. This is the sortof thing that prevents leading citi-zens from coming out and givingvery valuable service to the city.We are accused, of doing somethingwe have never done, and never in- itended to do."

The chairman (Mr G. T. Booth):You have no motion to move?

Mr Hayward: No. But I wishedto make this protest.

Mr D. Sykes said it was hightime the roll was purged, for therewere hundreds and thousands ofnames on it which had no right tobe there at all.

Mrs McCombs in Reply.Mrs Elizabeth K. McCombs said

she did not intend to make any de-fence of Mr McCombs, who wasquite able to do that for himself;but she wished to say that if he hadany abiding passion, it was demo-cracy, for he believed that any per-son who had the right to vote shouldbe given the chance.

Mr A. A. McLachlan: Whodoesn't?

I Mrs McCombs: I am not sayingwho doesn't. I only say he does.

She went on to say that she hadbeen the first victim of her hus-band's passion for accuracy. It washe who had caused legislation to bepassed in Parliament, providing foran official count in municipal elec-tions. At one Hospital Board elec-tion, the first figures showed thatshe had been elected, and she wenthome well satisfied; but when theofficial count was made, it was dis-covered that a whole booth in theProvincial Council Chambers hadbeen missed out, and she was notelected. That was the result of herhusband's passion for accuracy,which applied equally in this Tram-way Board election dispute. He hadbeen filled with indignation whenhe read what was proposed.

Mr McLachlan: So he blames theCitizens' Association candidates.

"I think, and this is my personalopinion, which I should have ex-pressed had I been present at thecommittee meeting, that instructionsare given to the general manageras returning officer," Mrs McCombssaid. "I feel that it was highly im-proper to have had any matter con-nected with these instructions sub-mitted to this board, for the electionis supposed to be conducted by animpersonal returning officer, and notreferred to this board. It washighly improper to submit it to theboard at all, for its members willin all probability be candidates forre-election."

Desire for Accuracy.Mr E. H. Andrews said that the

so-called passion for accuracy wasentirely what moved the board inseeking to purge the roil, and itshould be remembered that a greatmany changes could take place inthree years. It was not the board'sduty to enrol the electors—it wastheir own duty, and their namosshould appear on the roll with theircorrect addresses. A great many ofthem had gone right out of the ,-ityand right out of the district, and dgood many had died.

"The trouble with Mr McCombs,"said Mr Andrews, "is that healways attributes ulterior motives tothe man who does not agree withhim in politics. Why did he notcome out like a man and merely sayhe did not think this was the bestway of correcting the roll? He •**-

tributes ulterior motives to a for-mer board, I think as far back as1920. I do not know what hap-

pened then—."Mrs McCombs: He knew what

happened, because he amended thelaw.

Mr Andrews: Oh, he is a wonder-ful man is Mr McCombs. Anything;there is any advertisement in isdone by Mi' McCombs or his goodlady.

At the election three years ago,Mr Andrews said, of 24,474 post-cards sent out to electors, only 7380were returned. Yet Mr McCombsdeclared that the board was tryingto cut these people off the roll,though advertisements were In-serted in the newspapers and theboard really gave every electorevery opportunity.

Strong' Criticism."I say it is despicable conduct

when he jumps into the papers likethis," continued Mr Andrews; "butwe know the object of it all."

Mr McLachlan: Because he is acandidate for the board.

Mr- W. J. Walter said the Citi-zens' Association was concernedonly with the city itself, and did notcarry its campaign outsrde. At thelast election he had fought his ownbattle, and so had Mr Sykes and MrMcLachlan.

The general manager, Mr FrankThompson, replying to the sugges-tion that it was improper to havereferred election matters to theboard, said the regulations under

which the board acted, dealing withthe preparation of the roll, cast uponthe board the duty of authenticatingand correcting the rolL The.prelim-inary steps had to be taken by thesecretary of the board, not by thereturning officer. When he (thespeaker) was acting as returningofficer, he became an independentofficer, and endeavoured to«act im-partially; but as secretary; he wasthe servant of the board.

Mrs McCombs said she wouldmove that a sum equal to thatstaked upon ascertaining whether,people had removed should be spentin finding those people.

On the suggestion of the chair-man, Mr G. T. Booth, Mrs McCombsagreed to bring the motion forwardat a later meeting.

FURTHER STATEMENT BYMR MCCOMBS.

REMOVAL QF- NAMES FROMROLL.

"The explanations given to thenewspapers by Mr E.-H. Andrewsand Mr Frank Thompson, concerningthe method of compiling the roll forthe Tramway Board elections, arefar from satisfactory," said Mr J.McCombs, M.P., yesterday in a fur-ther statement. "The least thatshould be done before a name isstruck off the roll is to send a no-tice to the person concerned, in-forming him that it is proposed tostrike his name off the roll unlesshe can show cause why it should beretained.

"But why is the board so anxiousto strike names off? Why should itnot spend at least an equal amountof money in putting names on theroll? Does the present board fearthe verdict of the people?

"Under the law an elector is en-titled to have his name on the rollif he resides in the district, and hecan change his address every monthif he likes. The title to vote doesnot depend on whether he lives in a -.

certain house."I think the utmost care shouldbe

taken before names are removedfrom the roll, and I am of opinionthat if names are removed withoutreasonable enquiry being made as towhether the person resides in thedistrict the removal of the. nameswould be illegal and would be suffi-cient to upset a poll in a close con-test. Far too many people whothink they are enrolled find theirnames off the roll on election day.

"For years after all the othertramway districts were given theparliamentary franchise, the Christ-church Tramway Board successfullyresisted the broadening of the fran-chise in Christchurch. Now that wehave got the broad franchise theboard is, in my opinion, using unfairmethods to disfranchise some of theelectors.

"In 1930, when the board's rollswere being prepared, 24,474 post-cards were sent out and 7380 werereturned because the addressees bs,dchanged their addresses. The namesof those 7380 persons were accord-,iAgly left off the teams«ay. ijpJIF.

COST OF CITYELECTIONS.

ONLY £IOO GREATER THANIN 1931.

SOME OFFICIAL STATISTICS.

Although, there were many morecandidates at the recent municipalelections than there were in 1931,the total cost of the 1933 poll wasonly about £ 100 greater, and a largepart of this amount was accountedfor in the purchase of new material.

The following table, which wascontained in the report of the sub-stitute Heturning Officer (Mr AlbertFreeman) to the Christchurch CityCouncil last night, compares the ap-proximate cost of the elections in1933 and 1931:

New Material Provided."Although the approximate cost

is shown to be nearly £IOO in ex-cess of the 1931 elections," wroteMr Freeman, "the greater part ofthis is accounted for by the pro-vision of a larger results board andnine sets of large pigeon holes forsorting the ballot papers, both be-ing required owing to the increasednumber of candidates for the coun-cillors' issue."

The cost of the election, includ-ing the official count, for every 1000votes recorded was the highestsince 1927:

.The cost of the counts for every1000 votes dealt with compared asfollows:

Election Statistics.The report stated that 95 polling

places were provided in 72 booths,and there were altogether 875 vot-ing compartments. The officers em-ployed were: 369 deputy returningofficers; 328 poll clerks; and 11ushers. As far as possible prefer-ence was given to unemployed men.For the first time since Mr Free-man began his supervision of themunicipal elections, no members ofthe City Council staff held officeas deputy returning officers or pollclerks.

A staff of 36 was engaged for theofficial count, and the time occupiedwas 2175 single hours, allocated asfollows:

Election. Hours.Mayoral .. 170City Council .. 1050Hospital Board .. 650Harbour Board 305

In 1931 the time occupied was2142 single hours.

Mr Freeman concluded by com-mending the work of the electionday staff, and particularly the workof the men and women employedon the official count.

€R. ARCHER'S BITTER

SPEECH.

CITIZENS' ASSOCIATIONATTACKED.

PIBLIC CHALLENGE TO MR

S. «. HOLLAND.

A violent denunciation of theChristchurch Citizens' Associa-tion and a challenge to thechairman of the association(Mr S. G. Holland) to issue his |allegations in such a form that jthey could he tested in theSupreme Court on a writ for |libel, were made by the deputy-Mayor (Cr. J. K. Archer) be-fore the Christchurch CityCouncil last night. .In one ofthe bitterest speeches of hispublic career, Cr. Archer, whowas one of the four Labourcandidates into whose electoralqualifications an enquiry wassought, charged the Citizens'Association with hypocrisy andextreme political partisanship,and declared that the letterwhich it addressed to the coun-cil was "just an expression ofhatred against the Labour partyand against all those who sup-port the Labour party."

At the suggestion of theMavor (Mr D. G. Sullivan,M.P.) the letter and all mattersrelating to it were referred tothe By-Laws and Finance Com-mittee for submission to theCity Solicitor.

Cr. Archer said the new councilhad so far got along well and hadshown a proper spirit of co-opera-tion. He regretted, therefore, thatat the close of the meeting theapple of discord had to be throwninto their midst:—not by himself,but by the Citizens' Associationand some comparatively unknownman who signed himself S. G. Hol-land.

Cr. J. W. Beanland: Do not besarcastic.

Cr. Archer: I do not know himfrom Adam.

Cr. Beanland: That is your loss."All Sorts of Insinuations."

"My view is that this communica-tion would not be worth discussingat all if it was being discussed incommittee," continued Cr. Archer."But of course we are in open coun-cil and the letter is now public pro-perty. In any case, the communi-cation does not stand alone. Forabout a fortnight this associationand this gentleman have had the freerun of the newspapers and have pub-lished all sorts of insinuations dam-aging to the reputations of somecouncillors which have been distri-buted throughout Canterbury andthroughout the whole of New Zea-land. When these statements andinsinuations were first made I wasriot included; but during the lastweek my name has been added tothe list. Though invited to speak bythe newspapers I have refused tospeak all the while and my silencehas consisted equally of amusementand contempt. Except for one rea-son I would keep silent to-night; andthat reason is that a lot of peoplehave been thinking that I have tokeep silent in respect of these seriouscharges which have been madeagainst my public life."

Cr. Archer said he did not believethat the senior Citizens' Associa-tion's representatives, with whom hehad worked on the council for anumber of years, thought that hewas in his seat as the result of asubterfuge or that he would remainin it for five minutes by subterfuge.He did not believe that 5 per cent,of the supporters of the Citizens' As-sociation or 2 per cent, of the citi-zens of Christchurch thought so. Hewas on the council because he hada legal right to be there.

"A Few Hot-headed People.""I take the view that somehow or

other the association has allowed itrself to be led by a few hot-headedpeople in its ranks and that one ofthose people signs himself S. G. Hol-land," continued Cr. Archer."In fact, in the last paragraph of hisletter he takes the whole responsi-bility on himself. Obviously this MrHolland has quite a lot of money onhimself and considers that he is ofsufficient importance to speak forthe Citizens' Association and for thecitizens of Christchurch.."I think this communication isabsolutely unique in the council'shistory. He says he wishes to applyto the council 'respectfully'—l sug-gest that 'insolently' would be amore appropriate adverb. All hiswords and all his base suggestionsconcerning me are steeped in inso-lence. He says he has been at somedisadvantage in obtaining informa-tion; I don't know who has beenseeking the information, but who-ever it is he has gone so far thathe has not hesitated to bring intothe dispute the name of an honouredmember of my church who died afew weeks ago. If they have to goso far that they have to bring thedead into it, they should shut upshop.

Charge of Hypocrisy."Mr Holland says he is only act-

ing from a sense of public duty. Ihope the council believes that. Ifthe association is acting from a senseof public duty, then it is acting sofor the first time in its history. Thisis mere hypocrisy. The Citizens'Association has been saturated foryears with political partisanshipsand this letter is just an expressionof their hatred against the Labourparty and against those who supportthe Labour party. The first requesthere is Ho amend the roll by eras-ing therefrom' the names of four oftw. It doesn't ask for an enquiryexcept as an after-thought It hasinvestigated the matter; that isSHough—and so our names are to be

ragged through the mud."A Gang of Criminals."

"The section about myself re-tninded me of Tennyson's quotationthat a lie that is half a lie is theSlackest of lies," continued Cr.Iftrchen, "JThe whole thing is mis4

representation; whether it is delib-erate or not I cannot say. The factsare these. The action of my churchin nominating me was taken in myabsence as an expression of confi-dence in myself. It was a bona-fideaction, without any suggestion ofgettinground the law. I accepted theappointment in that spirit. I askedthe returning officer if it was inorder. He said it was, and I wentforward to the election.

"I resent the insinuation that Iand my church are neither more norless than a gang of criminals, forif we have taken the action thatwe are alleged to have taken, weare a gang of criminals. I was inresidence in Tennyson street whenthe main roll closed, and after theperiod of objection to the roll had[lapsed, and at that time I had no

I thought of leaving my residence. Theletter refers in inverted commas to[the word 'occupier'—the very useof the word is blind prejudice andgross ignorance. My church did notnotify me of their decision. Theynotified the Government Depart-ment, and that depai'tment instructedthe council to place me on the rollas an 'occupier,' which, I am in-formed, is simply a technical termunder which an elector is enrolledwhen he represents certain pro-perty. Probably many Citizens' As-sociation members have enrolledand voted under the same condi-tions.

A Public Challenge."I will publicly challenge thisMr Holland to put his assertions and

insinuations, his innuendoes, readby thousands of citizens—l publiclychallenge him here to put them insuch a form that they can be takeninto the Supreme Court under thelaw of libel. If he will give themin that form I undertake within 24hours to issue a writ of libel, and Iwill give him the opportunity in theSupreme Court to prove his asser-tions and innuendoes, and the mo-ment he does so I will resign myseat.

[ "I am here because I have a legalright to be here," Cr. Archer wenton. "I am standing on my funda-mental right as an elector. I wasnot anxious to be a councillor again.I had had enough of it. After work-ing for the city for years, andthoughI say it, I think I have servedit well, people who posed as myfriends hold me up as law-breakerand a sneaker—that is a position noself-respecting man could tolerate.I have only stood for the council be-cause I believed I could give someservice to the public, and I objectto these slanderous, these libellous,not only assertions, but insinuationsthat have been made against me.

"I say this again—that if Mr Hol-land is a sport, and if he is preparedto play the game, let him put hisinsinuations in such a form thatthey can be tested in the SupremeCourt of New Zealand."

Mr Holland Defended.Cr. Mathison seconded Cr.

Archer's motion that the lettershould be received

"Mr Holland merely signed theletter as chairman for the timebeing of the Citizens' Association—-it was not taken up as a personalmatter at all," said Cr. W. Hayward."I regret that Cr. Archer has madethe remarks he has made! I person-ally have no feeling in the matter.It should be made clear that MrHolland merely wrote from a senseof public duty, and as chairman ofthe association."

Cr. T. Andrews said Mr Hollandhad always been a sport. He did notthink the letter should come beforethe council in such a way. It shouldhave some other way of determin-ing these matters, some authorityto whom it could submit them for aruling., Mr Holland could not beblamed for bringing them forward.He had himself no ill-feeling to-ward the Labour party.

Cr. Lyons said he was sorry Cr.Archer had taken up such an atti-tude. It seemed almost as if he did"protest too much." Mr Holland inwriting • the letter had merelywished to know whether Mr Archerhad. the right of candidature ornot. "I am not myself a lawyer, butit seems to me the point whether anorganisation as occupier can be sub-stituted by an individual is one thatis worth getting an opinion on,"said Cr. Lyons. "There are anomaliesand weaknesses in the statutes gov-erning the right of people to vote."

Anomalies and Weaknesses.The letter raised points which the

committee could consider and whichcertainly it would do well to referto the Municipal Association andto the Government with a view tohaving the legislation made clear.The letter was really out of court atthe moment, though it was perfectlyopen for anyone to move for anouster. He regretted that Cr. Archerhad spoken in so personally antag-onistic and bitter a way. No mem-ber of the Citizens' Association hadreferred to the deceased member ofOr. Archer's church in the mannercomplained of by Cr. Archer. - Thequestions involved in the letter weremerely academic questions of law.

Cr. Lyons moved as an amend-ment that the letter should be re-ferred to tHe Finance Committee forsubmission to the City Solicitor foran opinion, the committee to makesuch suitable recommendations tothe Government as might be neces-sary.

This was seconded by Cr. G. T.Thurston."It seems we are looked on by the

other side as a crowd of criminals,and I invite investigation to showthat we are not," said Cr. Thurston.

Cr. E. H. Andrews said it was apity councillors did not confinethemselves to the terms of the let-ter instead of making a lot of state-ments that were based very largelyoh hearsay. He took it that the let-ter had been drafted after legal ad-vice, and he did not see that it at-tacked the bona fides of the council-lors concerned. He knew, as well ascithers, that there were on the rollscores of names of persons who were jnow dead.

"Always Anathema.""There was no necessity for Cr.

Archer's unreasoning and unbal-anced tirade against the Citizens'Association," he continued. "I.know,of course, that the Citizens' Associa-tion has always been anathema tohim."

Cr. Archer: Hear! Hear!"I thought it was very unfair toattack the councillors on this side ofthe table as hypocrites and so on,"added Cr. Andrews.

Cr. Archer: I was not referring tothe councillors.

. The Mayor: Cr. Archer was refer-ring to the letter, and not to personspresent here.

Cr. E. H. Andrews: He talked ofcouncillors who had posed as hisfriends. That is an accusation ofhypocrisy.~

The Mayor: I would remind youthat the Speaker has ruled in Par-liament that the word "hypocrite" isnot unparliamentary.

Cr. Andrews: I wonder, then, if Iwould be in order if I used the wordI want to use to describe what Ithink of the things Cr. Archer hassaid. I think he completely lost hishead, and was entirely irresponsiblefor the state he was in.

"i do not think it \uas ©we£ in-

tended to convey the idea that thecouncillors concerned used subter-fuge or used wrong means," Cr. An-drews added. "It is not in theletter."

Cr. Archer: It is.Cr. J. S. Bavnett: What is the pur-

pose of the whole business, then?"Body-line Bowling."

Cr. H. T. J. Thacker: Don'tyou think it is worse than body-linebowling, Mr Mayor?

The Mayor: Yes, I think these in-terjections are. I think it is advis-able that councillors should not ad-dress remarks directly to each other.

Continuing, Cr. Andrews saidthat to put things in order forthe future it would be well to get aruling from the city solicitor. "Hisruling would make us more carefulto have the rolls properly preparedin the future, and councillors wouldsee that they all had the properqualifications in future. They shouldsee that they were on the roll intheir proper capacities, as I havealways done. It is the duty ofeveryone to see that he is doing theright thing."

Cr. Archer in his addresshad used a lot of matter that hadappeared in the newspapers.

Cr. Thacker: Can't we vote, MrMayor?"What I do resent is Cr.

Archer's unreasonable attitude to-ward an outside association and itschairman, on whom it devolves totake this action," said Cr. An-drews. "Worse than all are hisremarks about councillors on thisside of the table."

Cr. J. W. Beanland: It mighthave been wiser for Mr Archerto have spoken through thenewspapers and not to have kepthimself bottled up all this time. Atthe meeting of the association atwinch this was discussed it wasfound that one of the nominationswas not quite right. It was thenthought that it would be a goodthing to look up the qualificationsof the others. No harm was meant.I think Cr. Archer will accept that.

Cr. Archer: I will accept thatfrom you, but not from the others

An Honest Action.Cr. Beanland (continuing): I thinkthat is unnecessary. The letterwas sent here in the hope that thecouncil would refer it to its solici-tor, and put the matter right. Ithink the action of the associationwas honest, and far better than allthis talk. Personally, I think the

councillors concerned did not standon these qualifications knowing thatthey were doing wrong.

"It ought to be made plain," saidthe Mayor, "that with Cr. Archerthis is a moral question. The strengthof feeling he has shown is more[than he would show in an ordinary[division on the council. To amend

| the law is a matter for Parliament,and not for the council. Whateveropinion is now in the minds of Citi-zens' Association councillors, itshould be remembered that" the samequestion could have been raisedin the past about the qualificationsof some of their own members onthe council. The matter should belooked into all round."

At Mr Sullivan's suggestion, Cr.Lyons agreed to amend his motionto provide that the enquiry madeby the Finance Committee and theCity Solicitor should cover, apartfrom the particular issue, any othermatters arising from the pointsraised in the letter.

Cr. Archer's Reply."I do not regret, I do not with-

draw, and I do not modify what Ihave said," said Cr. Archer in r.eply."I spoke warmly, but everything Isaid was carefully prepared in thequietness of my study. Nothing ex-cept my murder would have painedme so much as this act of the Citi-zens' Association under Mr Holland.Recently my house" was entered byburglars, and set alight in fourplaces, but that did not pain me atall as this has. This has pained meunspeakably, especially after mypublic life in the city, in which Ihave always practised straight-liv-ing without equivocation, and alsobecause of my position as a clergy-man.

"If I have deserved this I havedeserved the contempt of Christ-church," said Mr Archer, "not onlyas a man and a citizen, but also asa clergyman. These speeches to-night are another example of thehypocrisy of the Citizens' Associa-tion. They have tried to say thatthis is a general question, that hund-reds of people might be similarlyaffected. Why then was the generalquestion not raised?"

Cr. Archer than read a news-paper statement which he main-tained was equivalent to a criminalcharge against him.

Cr. Andrews: Did you ever hearabout turning the other cheek?

Cr. Archer: Don't quote the Bibleat me, or I shall find a quotation toconfound you. The Bible is a dan-gerous book to quote from unlessyou know it.

"Ought to Apologise.""It has been suggested to-night

that this is merely a friendly en-quiry, and that this is a harmlessletter. Yet the council is formallyrequested to amend the main rolland the supplementary roll by eras-ing therefrom these particularnames. That request must mean thatthere is evidence to justify theerasure.

"I do say that these speakers to-night, instead of criticising the re-sentment that I have expressed,ought to have apologised for makingthese charges."

Cr. Thacker: They ought to jointhe Labour party.

Cr. Archer:, They have tried todivert a smoke screen on to me, toplace the blame on me. My languagewas fairly adequate, but not halfas strong as it should have been.

The amendment to refer the letterto the committee was then put andwas carried.

ASSOCIATION'S LETTER.

FULL ENQUIRIES ASKED.

The text of the association's letter,which was signed by the chairman(Mr S. G. Holland) was as follows:

"In view of the fact that Section(40 of the Municipal Corporations Act,1920, provides that any person who isnot an elector is (a) incapable ofbeing elected a councillor, or (b) ofcontinuing to be a councillor, this as-sociation respectfully draws attentionto certain matters arising out of therecent elections, and formally requeststhe council to enquire into the sameas required by law.

"The association is at a disadvantagein obtaining information, and takes upthe questions with some hesitation andonly from a sense of public duty.

Formal Request."The council is formally requested

under Sections 9 and 10 of the Muni-cipal Corporations Act to amend thedistrict electors' roll and the supple-mentary roll by erasing therefrom the^

following names which appear thereonas electors:—

"Miss M. B. Howard."Mr E. J. Howard, M.P."Mr G. T. Thurston."Mr J. K. Archer."The application is made that in eachcase proper enquiries be made with

reference to the status as an electorof each of the above (a) on the dateof nomination as a candidate and onthe date of the poll, (b) at the date ofthis application, and that the roll orsupplementary roll be amended ac-cordingly. The request is made in thisform as the association understandsthat one or more of the above havepurported to alter their status since thedate of the election, and it has beensuggested that certain apparent ir-regularities are now in order.

Grounds for Enquiry."The grounds for the enquiry areset out in the attached schedule, but

the council will no doubt under theabove Section 10 make all such furtherenquiries as it considers necessary toproperly rule on the matter as requiredby statute. It is noted that the coun-cil is directed to amend the list fromtime to time either upon any objec-tion being taken or of, its own motion.

"This application may also be con-sidered as being made also by theundersigned and personally as a dulyenrolled elector."

Individual Qualifications.i The qualifications of the four can-didates individually were dealt with inthe schedule:—

"Miss Mabel Bowden Howard wasenrolled on the supplementary roll asresiding at 194 Gloucester street. MissHoward did not have the residentialqualification required by the MunicipalCorporations Act, 1920. Since the datelof election it is understood that MissHoward has entered into an agreementto lease with Mrs McCombs. It is dis-puted that such lease has given MissHoward the necessary qualification. Inany event the qualification was notheld on election day.

"Mr E. J. Howard, M.P., was en-rolled as residing at 19 Travers street.It is disputed that this qualificationwas held. His telephone address andpresumably his residence is at 71Page's road, Wainoni, which is out-side the city. It is understood thatMr Howard has since purchased pro-perty in the city. It is disputed thatany alteration of the roll. consequentupon this is in order.

Mr Archer and Mr Thurston."Mr George T. Thurston was en-

rolled as an occupier of 194 Gloucesterstreet in his own right. It is under-stood that the union of which MrThurston is secretary is the tenant ofthe premises. If so. Mr Thurston isnot the occupier within Section 6 (d)of the Municipal Corporations Act,1920. Mr Thurston lives at Cashmere,which is outside the city.

"Mr J. K. Archer was enrolled asnominated by Sydenham BaptistChurch Trust. It is understood thatthese premises are the residence ownedby the authorities of the SydenhamBaptist Trust. They are actually oc-cupied,by the Rev. E. J. Simpson. Mi-Archer resides at Cashmere, and if heis shown in the valuation roll as theoccupier of the Sydenham property itis disputed that this is in order."

One of the largest works everundertaken almost solely with theassistance of relief labour, the con-struction of a road round the cliffsfrom Arapawanui to Moeangiangi,which was commenced under thesupervision of the Hawke's BayCounty Council almost a year ago,is now rapidly drawing to a close,and it is possible for cars now toundertake the journey over thethree miles of newly-constructedroad. Before the earthquake it wasnecessary for those living in theregion of Moeangiangi to climb ahill some 1000 feet in height overa track which in the winter timewas at many places almost unnego-tiable. Following the earthquake,however, the land in that regionwas raised considerably and the re-ceding of the sea made it possibleto construct a road round the footof the cliffs, which for generationshad formed a buttress for theocean.

AUCKLAND, May 22.The "Auckland Star," in an edi-

torial, after eulogising Sir ThomasK. Sidey's services in the interest ofdaylight saving states: "But thisshould not cause us to overlook thesolid worth of the rest of his career.High-minded, capable and industri-ous, well-educated and prizing cul-tural things, he was always a valu-able and honoured legislator, andhad his outward personality beenstronger he might have risen to thehighest position in the Government.He brought to politics an equipmentof education and interest in thingsof the mind that are not commonenough there. He was a true sonof Dunedin, a member of a classthat, ever since the province wasfounded, has made educational pro-gress one of its first interests andhas regarded the University of Otagoas the most important institution inthe city. He should be rememberedwith gratitude by the city and bythe nation and his career stands asan example of unselfish devotion tothe common good."

TELEGRAM FROM THE MAYOR.

Reference to the death of SirThomas Sidey was made by theMayor (Mr D. G. Sullivan, M.P.)at the meeting of the ChristchurchCity Council last evening. Mr Sul-livan said he had sent the follow-ing telegram to Lady Sidey:—"Onbehalf of the city councillors, thecitizens of Christchurch, and my-self I desire to extend to you ourvery sincere sympathy in your be-reavement. Sir Thomas Sidey washeld in high esteem by bothbranches of the Legislature and wasa personal friend of mine."

CITY COUNCILSUBSIDY.

RELIEF WAGE RATES.

DISCUSSION ON MOTIONTO DISCONTINUE.

DECISION DEFERRED UNTIL

NEXT MEETING.

Although the continued paymentby the City Council, of a subsidy onthe wages of its relief workers wasbrought up for discussion at thecouncil meeting last evening, thematter was deferred for final con-sideration until the next meeting,pending full consideration by theFinance Committee. The subjectwas brought up by a motion fromCr. H. T. J. Thacker for direct dis-continuance of the subsidy, but themotion was superseded by theamendment to refer it to theFinance Committee.

Cr. Thacker moved:—"That thepresent subsidy of 2s a day paidby the Council to men on reliefwork be discontinued, and that theUnemployment Board be advisedthat all men "for whom work isprovided by the council under theNo. 5 Scheme will in future besubject to the usual conditions aslaid down by the board."

A Question of Finance."It has been said in the city that

all kinds of things were happeningto the funds of the council," he be-gan. "During the election it wasasked what the purpose of the sub-sidy to relief workers under the

council was. This is not a questionof humanity; it is a question offinance. It is not a question of takingmoney from people who need more,but whether we should not dispense

that money to people who have less.I believe there should be equalityof sacrifice. If there are hundredsworse off than the council reliefworkers, as I believe there are, theyshould get this money. There is forexample, your own relief of distressfund, which needs assistance. I findthat last year the subsidy was£3554, and this year £.7000, or£133 a week. If that £133 weredispensed to those who are worseoff, it would make a lot of differ-cncc" *

Dr. Thacker added that the Mayorhad himself referred to the in-equality of the subsidy scheme.

The Mayor: No.Cr. Thacker: You aid not deny

it. It was reported In "The Press.The Mayor: I can't help that.Cr. Thacker: Do you mean you

can't help what you said?Continuing, Councillor Thackei

said: "I am the last man rn theworld to take 2s from these men.But we should remember there areothers on the Summit road and else-where getting 10s a week. I amnot going to stress this, but I dowant to know where the money is

"We have heard stories that£4O 000 of Unemployment Boardmoney has gone back to Welling-ton because it could not be subsi-dised. I believe now it was not tothe City Council but to local bodiesin North Canterbury. If it has goneback it was a crime, and I am notstopping at this resolution.

Need for a Change.

Cr. E. H. Andrews said hewould second the motion pro forma.He had himself on occasion publiclycriticised the subsidy, not becausehe thought the men received enoughwages, but because it was only to acertain number of the men, and be-cause on their own showing it wasapplied inequitably. He believed

| there was a better way of dis-tributing the money.

When the council decided on thesubsidy, conditions were very dif-ferent. The Unemployment Boardwas then paying 12s 6d a day, andthe Labour council decided to bringthis amount up to award rates. Theboard had since changed its rates,as well as the hours worked. Nowthe men with the largest familiesreceived the least advantage.

The Mayor: The total number ofmen on subsidy who receive lessthan they would under the Gov-ernment scheme is 105 out of atotal of 900.

Something like £2OOO had beenpaid by the men in tax to the Un-employment Board, continued Cr.Andrews, because as soon asthey received the subsidy the menwere taxed.

Unemployment Allocation.An allocation of about £SOOO was

made each week by the Unemploy-ment Board to the Christchurch dis-trict—which included some 26 localbodies over a fair part of the nearerportion of North Canterbury. Ofthis sum, Christchurch had receivedabout £I4OO a week. For a timemany of the other bodies had failedto find work and material for themen to absorb the allocation, andconsequently the money had neverbeen claimed. It would be a goodthing if the motion led to a moreequitable division of the money.

Cr. J. S. Barnett moved as anamendment that further considera-tion should be deferred until theFinance Committee had an oppor-tunity to see whether there was analternative method of assisting theunemployed. He hoped Cr. Thackerwould recognise that referencesmade to inhumanity were notdirected against him personally, buthe had fathered a most unfortunateproposal. The men, in spite of thesubsidy, were getting far fromenough. He thought it would be un-wise to act hastily.

Cr. J. Mathison seconded theamendment. By a despicable actionthe Government had necessitated areview of unemployment relieffinances.

Cr. Beanland's Attitude.Cr. J. W. Beanland said he won-

dered whether to support the mo-tion or the amendment. He was sur-prised at the opinions expressed, forhe had heard in many quarters thatthe men were tired of the subsidy.The amendment had a good deal tocommend it, for in committee thematter could be thrashed out.

"I am in favour of the subsidy be-ing abolished," said Cr. Beanland,"but that does not say that we shouldnot use the money in another way.Last year we would have been betteroff without the subsidy."

Cr. T. Milliken asked whether thematter, if it was referred to the■committee, would not be deaM-with

for another four weeks. If that wasso, the present abuses would go onall that time.

The Mayor: What abuses are youreferring to?

Cr. Milliken: Inequalities is per-haps the better word.

He said he was definitely opposedto the subsidy, though he was notagainst some of the money beingused for the benefit of the unem-ployed generally.

Cr. M. E. Lyons said he must sup-port the motion. He still emphasisedthat unemployment was a nationalproblem and should be treated assuch. The council had no right toask its ratepayers to pay one half-penny more than the ratepayers of,say, Heathcote. Was Christchurchthe "City Bountiful" that it coulddistribute special funds to a favouredfew? If the money was availablethen it should be allocated amongall the unemployed, not among afew of them only. Delay for an-other month would mean a furtherheavy loss.

Cr. E. R. McCombs said some ofthe statements of Cr. Lyons had beenmisleading. In subsidising wagesthe council was following the leadof its war-time predecessor, whichhad added to the wages of those ofits employees who had gone to thefront.

Further Amendments.Cr. F. T. Evans gave notice to

move a further amendment:"That the question of consider-

ing the discontinuance of the 2sa day subsidy be deferred to thenext meeting of the council, andthat in the meantime other localbodies be consulted for the pur-pose of determining a uniform andmore liberal scale of employmentfor all."Cr. A. E. Armstrong asked if the

Mayor would later accept a furtheramendment that relief workersshould receive trade union rates ofwages.

~ ~ *uThe Mayor said he could at theproper time.

Cr. Beanland: They are gettingmore than trade union rates, whichare 13s lOd. The council pays 14s 6d.

Cr. W. Hayward remarked thatCr. McCombs had said the matterhad been discussed from every angleduring the last two years. If thatwas so, what was hoped to be donein the month before the next coun-cil meeting?

..*,,. u-i„Cr. E. H. Andrews said that while

he saw the advantage of Cr. Bar-nett's amendment, he believed therewas a general desire to get rid of thissubsidy. He felt some extra pro-vision should be made, however.

"If you can give me a guaranteethat the matter will be fixed withinten days, I shall withdraw my mo-tion," said Cr. Thacker to the Mayor.

The Mayor: What do you mean by"fixed up"? .

.

Cr. Thacker: If we have a specialmeeting, with a report from theFinance Committee.

The Mayor: I am sorry, but I cangive no such assurance.

Cr. J. K. Archer said there seemedto be a general desire to find somesort of : olution to the problem. Cr.Andrews had said some form ofassistance should be continued, butit was necessary, if the old schemewas dropped, to have something toreplace it. A month was a shorttime in which to prepare a plan.

Cr. M. B. Howard said that as thelargest employer of labour in Can-terbury -the City Council should setan example. It was true the Unem-ployment Board had manoeuvred thecouncil into a position where theboard received a large part of thesubsidy. She hoped the amendmentwould be carried.

Cr. Thacker asked permission towithdraw his motion, and on a reso-lution to this effect being put, theMayor ruled it carried, but Cr. Lyonsdissented, contending that a motionto withdraw had to be unanimous.

His contention was upheld.The amendment, put as a motion,

was carried by 12 votes to five. Theayes were:—Crs. Archer, Mc-Combs, Howard, Barnett, Thurston,Butterfield, Mathison, Armstrong,T. Andrews, Beanland, E. H. An-drews, and the Mayor. The noeswere:_Crs. Thacker, Evans, Lyons,Milliken, and Hayward.

Cr. Evans, speaking to his amend-ment, said the subsidy caused agreat deal of comment and dissatis-faction among other unemployedworkers. He hoped by his amend-ment to lift up the wages of theseother workers as well.

His amendment was not seconded,and lapsed.

Cr. Armstrong's amendment alsolapsed for want of a seconder.

Cr. Archer undertook to considerthe questions raised in both Cr.Evans's and Cr. Armstrong's amend-ments.

Cr. Barnett's original amendment,as a motion, was carried.

UNEMPLOYED MEN'SOPPOSITION.

■ DEPUTATION WAITS ONCITY COUNCIL.

iOpposition to the proposal that the

present subsidy paid to City Councilrelief workers should be discontinued,according to the terms of Cr. H. T.J. Thacker's motion, was voiced by adeputation of relief workers, whichwaited on the council last evening. Thedeputation contended that such acourse would be inhumane, and wouldlessen the esteem which the coun-cil had earned by its endeavours tomaintain a better level of relief wages.

On most of the big jobs that daya resolution had been passed condemn-ing the motion, said Mr R. J. Cornwell,the leader of the deputation. Neverbefore had a more inhumane motionbeen before the council. It wouldtake bread and butter out of the cup-boards of the men. They asked thatinstead of reducing the payment, thecouncil should try to find a means ofmaintaining the subsidy. The HospitalBoard had asked for collaboration inmeeting the present position, yet thecouncil was faced with a motion tolessen the amount received by the men.

"Council in High Esteem."The council had been placed in

high esteem throughout the Dominionby its action in paying the higher rate,but by passing the motion it' wouldlessen that esteem. The men werenow receiving 25s 2d to 37s 6d a week,but if the subsidy was removed theywould be on the 9s level of the Unem-ployment Board. The men would re-sent any such action. An indicationof their concern about the proposal wasthat between 400 and 500 men were, atthe moment, waiting outside the coun-cil chambers.

Not Receiving Enough.One argument put up against the

subsidy was that the man with no chil-dren received more benefit than theman with three children. Even withthe advantages, however, the men withthe subsidy were not receiving enough.It was said the saving to ratepayerswould be £7OOO, but it was not muchwhen all ratepayers were considered.If the subsidy was removed, the moneyavailable for rations would have to bespread over a larger number of men.It would be an attack on the living ofthese workers, many of whom were ac-tually on the bread line. If a motionwithdrawing the subsidy was carried,the council would be robbing innocentwomen and children.

The Mayor: You must not say that.The councillors will vote according tofheir consciences." The deputation.4henffMittid«ei*er-

Y.M.C.A. AT WORK.

VARIOUS ACTIVITIESWITNESSED.

SUBSCRIBERS AND SYMPA-THISERS IMPRESSED.

While some of the subscribers tothe Christchurch Young Men's Asso-ciation are conversant with thevaried activities of the association,many have not come in direct con-tact with them, and have had todepend on spoken or written de-scriptions of them. It occurred tothe Board of Directors of the asso-ciation that an opportunity shouldbe afforded all interested in thework to witness the association inaction under ordinary, everyday con-ditions. Consequently invitationswere issued by the president, Mr D.E. Parton, to a reception which washeld last night, and was largely at-tended by many leading citizens andtheir wives. What they witnessedin the different departments greatlyimpressed the association's guests.

"No Plausible Speeches.""The Board of Directors did not

invite you to hear plausible speeches—not even to hear one plausiblespeech—therefore you and I will besaved a great deal of trouble," thepresident, Mr D. E. Parton, said inhis welcome to the guests. Hethanked them sincerely for accept-ing the invitation of the board, andhoped that they would have a pleas-ant evening witnessing the activi-ties of the association. They wouldsee those activities for themselves,he said. They could talk and writeabout what the association was do-ing, but there was nothing likepersons seeing for themselves whatactually was being done. He hadinstructions not to introduce shopinto his remarks, and shop meantthe financial position of the associa-tion, but lie could not avoid men-tioning that there would be a streetday in aid of their funds on June16. It was for them to decide,after seeing the activities of the as-sociation, whether they were doinga work that should be carried oncontinuously. The associationwanted their goodwill, and desiredto show them the work that wasbeing done. They would note alsothe self-sacrifices made on behalf ofthe boys by the staff—not only inrespect of home life, but also froma financial point of view, becausemany members of the staff were ableto fill positions more lucrative thanany the association could offer them.He asked them to analyse the asso-ciation's work, and if they couldmake any suggestions they wouldbe joyously received, and if theycould be carried out they would be.(Applause.)

Mr A. J. McEldowney, the generalsecretary, in outlining the pro-gramme for the evening, said thatthere had been no window dressingfor the occasion. Every part of theprogramme, with the exception ofthe rally of unemployed boys, wassimply the ordinary programme.Possibly they would find the dormi-tories a little more tidy than usual.(Laughter.) *

Boys' Department.On the way to the boys' depart-

ment the visitors had a glimpse ofthe unemployed boys' rally in theConcert Hall, and it was evident thatthe lads were thoroughly enjoyingthe community singing.

The boys' department is an im-portant part of the association's ac-tivities, and is known as the Boys'Gordon Hall. The department is theoutcome of a bequest made by SirJohn Hall. As the city grew andgreater demands were made on thedepartment, the income from the in-vestments was insufficient and theassociation subsidised the trustfunds to the extent that its ownavailable funds permitted. It isnow claimed that the department,with its provision for vocationaltraining, its complete system of re-gistration of unemployed boys,and its facilities for games, lectures,camps, and other .means of enter-tainment and instruction, is notequalled in any other centre in theDominion.

When the guests of the associationentered the well-lighted rooms de-voted to the boys' department yes-terday evening, they found themoccupied by boys indulging in suchgames as table tennis, deck quoits,draughts, and on a suitable platformtwo boys were having a bout ofwrestling. All the while the noise ofmany youthful voices was evidenceof how thoroughly their ownerswere enjoying themselves.

Silence followed the sounding ofa whistle, and Mr D. W. Ross, direc-tor of the Boys' Gordon Hall, brieflydescribed the various activities ofthe department, and drew special at-tention to the honours' board onwhich were inscribed the names ofthe winners in the various com-petitions in different games.

A little later in the evening theguests returned to the boys' depart-ment and witnessed the screening ofa film pcituring scenes at the boys*annual camp at Wainui, BanksPeninsula. This proved most inter-esting and showed the boys at workand play,

The Gymnasium.Next the gymnasium was visited,

arid the senior *nd the young men'sclass was seen at work. About 20minutes were spent in watching themembers of the class at work. MrC. G. Pegg, an expert in physicalculture, is in charge of the gym-nasium, and possesses the valuablefaculty of inspiring enthusiasm inmany of those with whom he comesin contact. Consequently, from theassociation's gymnasium have goneforth leaders who have started gym-nasiums in connexion with churchand similar organisations. The in-terest shown by the association'sguests last night was evidence ofthe excellence of the training re-ceived.

After witnessing the work in thegymnasium, the visitors saw theportion of the building devoted tothe boarders, and the . dormitorieswere inspected.

A Fine Orchestra.The next item on the programme,

after the film of the boys' camp waswitnessed, consisted of items by theorchestra of the association underthe conductorship of Mr Victor C.Peters. The first selection, was"Country Garden" (Percy Grainger)which was most pleasingly played.The overture "Stradella" (Flotow)followed, and showed that the or-chestra was well trained andcapable of interpreting difficult com-positions. Very warm applausegreeted the conclusion of this item,and the general impression was thatin the orchestra the association pos-sesses a very valuable organisation.

WOOD PULPINGINDUSTRY.

DOMINION PROJECT.

BIG FINANCIAL PLAN.

Proposals for merging the presentshare capital of Timberlands Wood-pulp Company with bondholdersinto a total share capital of more than£2,400,000, for the purpose of almostimmediately establishing pulp andpaper mills in the Bay of Plenty, wereendorsed by a meeting of Canterburybondholders' delegates in the, Cham-ber of Commerce last evening. MrA. B. L. Smith, chairman of theChristchurch Bondholders' Committee,presided.

Mr Smith expressed appreciation ofthe large attendance of bondholders,before whom the head committee wasanxious to place its complete pro-posals for the merger: The import-ance of the company's project couldbe gauged from the fact that whenproduction was started the companywould control the largest industry inthe southern hemisphere.

Government's Attitude.Mr C. E. Kerr, representing Canter-

bury, Otago, and Southland bond-holders on the head committee, re-called the company's negotiations withthe Government concerning "thin-nings," in whichmuch determined op-position had been met with. The ques-tion had eventually been taken to theDevelopment of Industries Board,which had appointed a committee toinvestigate the company's project.This committee had finally come tothe conclusion that the propositionwas absolutely sound. However, thecompany had been unsuccessful re-garding the thinnings. The questionwas then taken to influential membersof the Cabinet, but it was found thatthey did not understand very wellwhat the company was aiming at.

The argument was advanced thatthe timber required by the companywas not available. Early this yearthe initial difficulty regarding imme-diate supplies was definitely overcomethrough the efforts of the head com-mittee, and the company's attorney insecuring options over the Matahinaforest, embracing an area of about16,000 acres. This forest, comprisingrimu and tawa, was alongside thecompany's own block of 21,000 acres,near Te Teko. The block was consid-ered to be ideal for the company'spurposes. It had also been decided tostart planting 5000 acres at Matahinaat once.

Avoiding: Stamp Duty.It was decided to lose no time with

the merger proposals, and, as the re-sult of a visit to Australia by threeof the company's representatives, theproject was going ahead satisfactorily.

tThe original merger proposal, if car-ried out, would have involved £BO,OOOin stamp duty, whereas the presentproposal under which bondholderswould receive £55 for each bondwould involve a comparatively negli-gible cost.

Mr H. A. Horrocks, the company'sNew Zealand attorney, said theChristchurch committee was represen-itative of about £75,000 worth of capitalin the company, and the holders ofbonds representing this capital woulddoubtless be largely influenced by theopinions of the local committee whichwas appointed to watch bondholders'interests. There were 55 local com-mittees in the Dominion, and beforea vote on the merger scheme was

I taken in July the head committee con-sidered it essential to have the sup-port of every local committee in NewZealand.

The notices to bondholders in Can-terbury would be issued in about a

\ fortnight's time, and the head commit-tee wanted to be as sure as it couldthe that the merger would be approved.Were it not approved the option overthe Matahina forest could not be exer-

-1 cised and production would be delayedfor several years. Mr L. A. de Guere,of Wisconsin, a foremost pulp andpaper mill engineer in the UnitedStates, would be sent for to return toNew Zealand as soon as the mergerwas settled.

Bonds and Shares.Replying to questions, Mr Horrocks

said the bond issue was restricted to40,000. The total amount of bondcapital represented was £1,245.000.Bonds were split into groups and itwas decided that those buying bonds in:the early stages should have a greatershare of prpflts. The second to lastgroup was now selling at £SO, andthe last group would sell at £55.

The share capital would have to bewritten up to the value of the lastissue, and holders of bonds soldearlier at say, £25, would receive ashare bonus to bring their holding upto £55 for each bond. The originalcompany was to hold a tenth of themerger capital of £2,444,444. Werethe merger proposals not agreed toit would probably be five or six yearsbefore production was started. Thedeed of trust was a two-edged sword.It was all right as long as the com-pany decided to operate on its owntimber.- To-day there was a chance of start-ing production at once, with rimuand tawa involved in the company'soptions. But it would be of no useto buy the timber at £120,000 or£BO,OOO, according to which optionwas exercised, unless the mills couldbe opened and some return securedQtt the money. To pay for the millsthe trust moneys had to be released,and the only way to release themoneys was to approve of the mergerbefore the options expired in July.When the shares were allotted stampdoty wwuld be about 7s or 8s for each£IOO worth of shares, and it was sug-gested this should be paid by the in-dividual bondholder.

Supplies Available.Discussing the future, Mr HorrocKsj

said the amount of timber now avail-able would enable a mill with anoutput of between 26J000 and 30,000tons to operate. The production costsof the finished product was estimatedat £ll a ton, and tine net profit,based on New, Zealand wholesaleprices for the various grades of paper,it was intended to make, aver-aged about £l2 a ton. On thePukahunui block there was enoughtimber to sustain an output of 100,000tons a year, and on the Matahinablock there would, in a fiew years,be a supply to maintain an output of50,000 tons a year. The expansioncapacity for raw material was up toabout 150,000 tons a year.

Professor H. H. Corbin, the com-pany's technical director, explainedthe various attributes of rimu andtawa in comparison with other woodsfor paper pulping purposes.

On the motion of Mr E. R. Caygill,the meeting unanimously decided toapprove of the bond contract beingvaried and of the carrying out of themerger proposals. Mr Caygill ex-pressed complete confidence in theprospects of the company and in themanagement.

MOTUROA OIL.

ANOTHER BORE TO BE SUNK.

A new oil bore; No. 4, will probablybe sunk by the Moturoa Oil Company.No. 3 bore has not turned out satis-factorily.

"It is evident," said Mr Taylor, themanager, when interviewed, "from theexperience gained in No. 3 well thatthe strata dip instead of rise as wasanticipated by the company's geologistThis alteration has affected the accu-mulation of oil at this point, only saltwater and a very small quantity of oilbeing encountered."

In the sinking of No. 4 well the sameequipment as was used at No, 3 wellwill be available. This will mean aconsiderablesaving in expenditure.

The latest report of the companystates that the week ending May 13No. 2 well produced H& barrels of oiland that No. 3 wen failed to producecommercially after exhaustive tests.

MINING.

MAHAKIPAWA GOLDFIELDS,LIMITED.

The"mine manager's report lor theperiod ending May 15 is as follows:—

North Face—Advanced nine feet,making a total progress of 376 feetnorth of shaft crosscut. The brownwash is dipping away fairly quicklyand has been much finer; values fairgrade only.

No. 11 East Crosscut—Advancedfour feet. There is now 3ft 6in ofhard bottom rock showing, and valuesof samples taken have been poor grade.

No. 2 South Drive, off No. 11 EastCrosscut—Advanced four feet, makinga total of 28 feet south. The bottomrock was some 2ft Gin below the floorof the drive, but seems to be risingagain as we proceed south. Blockingnorth of No. 11 east crosscut is instony, good grade wash. Blockingsouth of No. 11 east crosscut, which iswithin 24 feet of the face of No. 11east crosscut, is in fine wash of fairgrade.

The wash-up on May 11 returned360z 12dwt of alluvial gold.

BELL HILL GOLD SLUICINGCOMPANY.

The directors report that the re-construction work on the dam hasnow been completed. As we pointedout clearly at various meetings ofshareholders there was a distinct dan-ger of wet weather proving a seriousimpediment to work being carried out,hence the desire of the directors tohave the work undertaken at theearliest possible date.

When the required number of addi-tional debentures was subscribed thedirectors lost no time in having thereconstruction work commenced. Ex-tremely wet conditions were met withfrom the outset. Local residents statethat rainfall hab been a recordone during the last few months. Dueto floods jorevailing at intervals, por-tions of the embankment were brokenthrough on no fewer than three occa-sions. The embankment was withintwo days of completion at one stage,when another flood broke through.Thanks, however, to consistent atten-tion and unremitting labour whenweather permitted, the damage hasnow been fully repaired and the em-bankment has successfully withstoodhigh water during the last two weeks.At one time recently 18 inches ofwater was passing over the spillwaywithout a sign of movement in theembankment. The embankment hasbeen raised to the height of thesheathing, which is 2ft 6in above thedam, and with this effected it shouldbe proof against further breach.

Alter the stonehauler was linkedup and during the period of waitingfor the dam to be finished the man-ager made use of storm water, andfor 30 hours' sluicing of this naturethe very satisfactory return of 32ounces of gold was secured.

The chairman of directors recentlyvisited the company's claim, and aninspection was made in company withthe two local directors, Messrs Nybergand Taylor. A satisfactory state ofaffairs was revealed. Water wasturned on for sluicing for approxi-mately half an hoar, and as a resultgold was to be seen clearly amongstthe rocks. The bottom wash is stillexceptionally stony, but the use of thestone hauler recently purchasedmakes for economical handling.

The above indications are regardedas bearing out predictions for goodreturns, and there is nothing to stopthe company at the present stage from

; proceeding with the winning of gold.

Advice has been received from themanager that the return for the lastfortnight is 51oz 18dwt retorted gold.

WAR MATERIALS.EFFORT TO PROHIBIT

MANUFACTURE.

REQUEST BEFORE COUNCIL*

A request for the support of theChristchurch City Council in aworld-wide effort to prohibit themanufacture of primary war equip-ment was received by the Councillast night from the League of Na-tions Society of Canada. The coun-cil endorsed the society's proposals.

Addressing itself to all membersof Parliament in the British Domin-ions, to members of League of Na-tions societies, and to all men andwomen interested in furtheringpeace, the society wrote as follows:

"The control of armament manu-facture is the.first step towards dis-armament. Little has yet been doneto deal with the question which wasfirst placed before a commission ofthe League of Nations in 1921. Itis also significant that the Conven-tion for the Control of the Exportof Arms passed in 1925 has not beenratified, and for that reason has notbeen adopted by any member of theleague.

"A Crucial Moment.""The present world situation

makes this a crucial moment, if pub-lic opinion is to make itself heard.We ask that you will try, at anysociety of which you are a member,to have a resolution passed and sentto your member of Parliament simi-lar to the one which is as follows:

•"Resolved that urges th«*Government of to instruct itsdelegates to the World DisarmamentConference to do everything, pos-sible to obtain a mutual agreementthat all nations will undertake tocarry out the necessary steps to prorhibit the private manufacture ofprimary war equipment and willasume control of the export of allwar material; and that a copy ofthis resolution be forwarded to thePrime Minister of and theLeader of his Majesty's loyal Oppo-sition.' '

"We ask you also to protest toyour Prime Minister, Senators, andMembers of Parliament against theadjournment of the DisarmamentConference without substantial re-duction in arms," concluded the, let-t»6F»

On the motion of Cr. J. K. Archerthe resolution was endorsed.

THE NEVIS DEISELELECTRIC GOLDDREDGING COY.

(To be Incorporated.)

Probably the least known of allNew Zealand's rich goldfields is the Ipicturesque Nevis Valley, lying at ahigh altitude between Cromwell andGarston, in Otago Central.

Completely mountain walled witnthe famous Remarkables as a fittingbackground, and extremely isolatedeven in these days of motor trans-port, "The Nevis" did not receive theattention of the pioneer miner to thesame extent as other rich auriferousareas in Otago.

The virgin floor of the Upper Valleyhas been left intact for the presentgeneration, and in the near future apowerful Deisel electric dredge willendeavour to recover the hitherto un-disturbed riches.

For some time past Investigations,Ltd., an enterprising.Dunedin miningcompany, has been testing the glacialalluvials with a modern power-drivenboring plant, and splendid results havebeen obtained, more than justifyingthe heavy outlay of capital involved.

Boring operations have been super-vised by Mr W. W. Begg, A.O.S.M,M.C.I.M.M.

A prospectus for the Nevis DeiselElectric Gold Dredging Coy, will beissued at an early date, but in viewof the heavy reservations already inthe hands of the brokers, intendinginvestors are strongly advised to es-tablish contact with the local organis-ers, or write for particulars to theorganisers,PROVIDENT INVESTMENTS, LTD.,145-7 Worcester street, Christchurch.

TIMBER SHORTAGE.During the British House of Com-

mons Forestry debate, November 20th,1929, the following statement wasmade: "There are to-day actually onlyfour countries left in the whole wideworld which are meeting their owntimber requirements. They are Russia,Canada, the Scandinavian Peninsula,and Poland. Most of Russia's suppliesare inaccessible. Scandinavia neces-sarily restricts cutting in accordancewith production. Poland's supplies arevery limited, and Canada's forests arenot likely to be more than sufficientfor her own and part of U.S.A.'s re-quirements in the near future." It isobvious, therefore, that the softwoodforests established by N.Z. PerpetualForests, Ltd., are going to be veryvaluable when ready for realisation inthe near future, —2

Corrections.The correct! mark of Linella in

the Kekerangu Handicap at the Kai-koura Trotting Club's meeting is 24yards, not 12 yards. In the list ofhandicaps for the same meeting PeterPan in the Kaiterau Handicap shouldbe Peter Junr.

Meeting with Success.Since having been placed in charge

of J&t C. P. Cameron's horses, R. Dunnhas met with a good deal of successwith the team. He has raced Sir Guy,Guy Junior, Avernus, and Writeronly, and with the exception of thelast-named has succeeded in winning

a race with them aIL With a teamthe majority of whom are young andimproving, at his call, Dunn shouldhave a profitable end-of-scason in-ings.

Another Two-year-oid.Prince de Oro, who is engaged at

the Kaikoura Trotting Club's meetingto be held on Saturday, is a two-year-old colt trained by G. Caddy. He isby Bey de Oro from Wild Princess,who was by Wildwood Jun. fromTracey Princess, dam of Ngingongingo.

Will Ho Better.B. Grice paraded an attractive pacer

at Ashburton last Saturday in ColeneParrish, a sister to the good two-year-old Village Guy. Colene Parrish,who is only a three-year-old, wasmaking her first public appearance,and she performed most encourag-ingly. Certainly she finished onlysixth, but the experience she wouldgain from the outing should standher in good stead when she is nextasked to race. The filly impresses asone .likely to win races when moresea&oned.

■jblo Wittjdrswai.A recent message from Sydney

states that Counterplay ty*n*fflfancied for a race at one of ttesrou-ler meetings, but was, withdrawnshortly before the event was decided.

A Successful Dam. 'Potazel, formerly attached to the

Kaituna stud, and. now defunct* hasnot been strongly represented on theturf, but of those produced Potofddrais undoubtedly of good class. A gooddeal ol' herability is probably in-herited from her dam, Sweet Smile,•who has produced some proved gal-lopers, including Light Hearted,King's Jester, and Giggleswick, whilethe youngest racing, Scarlet Pimper-nel, has been returned athe few starts he has had. Thetrainer of al! of these, H. Nurse, hasrecently handled a two-year-old geld-ing by Greyspear (sire of , LightHearted) from Sweet Smile, and theyoungster shows every promise ofadding to his dam's good record. Itit; interesting to note that SweetSmile, bred at Stonyhurst, is by San[Francisco from "Venning Way, dam) o'the i successful sire Winning Hit, ofTop Score (dam of Bocket), and ofStraightcourse, so it is not surprisingthat her progeny have all shown goodform. - •

An Interesting Thoroughbred.

from Kaikoura.The'Kaikoura-trained pair, Sphinx

and Linella, who have done theirrecent racing in the North Island,where B. J. Mackle has raced themwith more than a little success, willprobably remain in Christchurch afterSaturday's meeting at New Brighton.Both horses are engaged at the Can-terbuy Park June fixture, so they arelikely to remain at headquarters un-til the latter meeting is disposed of.

Has Fast Record.Accras, who is engaged in the prin-

cipal race at New Brighton on Satur-day, and also in the saddle race, hasa two mile record of 4mln 27 l-ssecregistered when he ran third toLittleNelson and Desert Maiden at Ash-burton last month. His saddle recordof 2min 16 4-ssec was made whenGay Gordon and Flying Cloud beathim iin the final event at Methvenlast October. On those performancesthe Mrthven-trained gelding shouldrace conspicuously in both his en-gagements on Saturday.

Marquillo, who made a bold show-ing in the Trial Stakes at Ashburtonon Saturday, is a three-year-old geld-ing by Panmure from Bran Pie; byBuckwheat, and as a yearling figuredin a transaction by which he changedhands for an expt iditure of one shil-ling. His hew owner did not feel dis-posed to keep him, and the youngsterwas purchased by Mr H. J. Ballin, ofChristchurch, who in turn registereda partnership interest in him with histrainer. T. H. Gillett, in whose namehe raced on Saturday. Marquillo (avariety of wheat) is a stylish > gal-loper, and although neither side ofhis pedigree has earned much recom-mendation, he has given every indi-cation of turning out a useful pro-position.

A Keen Contest.The Kaiterau Handicap, of a mile

and a half, which is to be decidedat the Kaikoura meeting on Saturday,will probably be the best race of theday, or at least it is likely to be theevent creating most interest Reasonsfor this are the presence of the two-year-old winners, Village Guy andWar Buoy, in the field, and otherswho have recently shown near-winningform. Among the latter division areAgile, who was second at Ashburtonlast Saturday, Great Minto, who wasthird to Royal Escort, and RonaldDerby. The last-named is also in thefield. This will be Ronald Derby's lastopportunity to race from a 3min 41sec mark, as when he is next handi-capped the result of bis second plac-ing will be brought into effect, andas he stands now his mark will be3min 40sec. With such a galaxy ofgood material ■in this race there isevery reason to anticipate its beingthe best item on the card, and the re-sult may throw further light on theprospective winner of the New Zea-land Sapling Stakes.

Sonny Sky Amiss. . vAfter running an easy six furlongs

at Ellerslie last week. Sunny Sky wastiecidedly lame behind. It is believedthat she has ricked a muscle, and hertrainer, A. D. Adams; expressed theopinion that he may have to throwher out of work for the present, sothat her. prospect of getting to thepost In the Cornwall Handicap wouldappear to be very remote SunnySky has been unlucky since winningtwice and running second in herother start at the Auckland wintermeeting last year. She lost farm ona subsequent trip to Sydney, and hasnot won since, although she justfailed to do so at Te Aroha andPaeroa.Takapam Secretary. , i

Mr R. A. Splnley, a member of thecommittee of the Takapuna JockeyClub, who "has been acting as secre-tary for the last nine months, waslast week appointed secretary. MrJ. Bawson, who has been associatedwith the club for the last six years,was appointed assistant-secretary.Ordeal Too Btvtre.

Consent's creditable race in the Cen-tury Hurdles at Wanganui last weeksuggested that he might have pros-pects ;in' the Great ■ Northern HurdleRace, but he is a doubtful starter. Hisowner, Mr T. A. Duncan, regards it astoo severe a test for a novice who has»0t beeu conditioned with such a seri-ous'object in view, but the temptingpart of it is that with 8-8 he has thechance of running in a first-class eventat a weight which he is not likelyto be favoured wltn in any future con-tests, and should he get beaten theopposite to some extent holds good,and he cannot be too severely handi-capped in subsequent races. Mr Dun-can states that he will make the nextpayment In,the Northern.with Con-sent, as it is only a nominal sum oione sovereign, but the question of himbeing definitely a starter has yet to bedecided. . ,

CYCLING CONTROL.

lannual meeting of

j FEDERATION.

: The secretary of the New ZealandCycling Federation advises that, owingto the inability of the chairman, MrJ. Kennedy (Geraldine), to be present,the annual meeting of the Federationproposed for to-morrow, has been post-poned until May 31. One of the mat-ters for dl#cussion at the meeting isthe protest of the Papanui AmateurCycling Club against the present sys-tem of control, particularly in Can-terbury.

; "I say without hesitation thatthere are people in New Zealandwho are not loyal tG their King andEmpire, and towards any class thatforfeits its loyalty to King andcountry and attaches itself to an in-

ternational group existing in aforeign country, there is only one at-titude to adopt, and that is one ofunremitting -opposition,' .said Dr.Campbell Begg in an address atHastings.

A HOLIDAY INTHE SNOW.

SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS.

SCHOOL GIKLS RETURN.

The girls and teachers of theChristehurch schools who have beenat the secondary schools ski cham-pionships at Ball Glacier, returned tothe city last evening looking fit andwell after their week's holiday atTasman Chalet, Mount; Cook. Formany of the party the experience wasnew, and all praised the arrangementsmade for them. The following schoolswere represented: St. Margaret's. Col-lefe, Selwyn House, ChristehurchGirls' High School, Amberlcy Col-lege, Craighead School (Timaru),Rangi-Ruru, Otago Girls' High School.Sports mistresses from most of theschools accompanied the girls. The ob-ject of the trip was to make it pos-sible for these young people to beinstructed in ski-ing, a sport practic-ally new to this country. The MountCook Tourist Company offered veryreasonable terms so that the tripcould be made by as many as possible,and the girls spoke highly of the ar-rangements made both for their com-fort and instruction.

Tasman Chalet, which is the oldBall Hut enlarged and brought upto date, was the headquarters of theparty, and members of the Hermitagestaff, including the chef and a partyof guides, were at the Chalet. Eachmorning and afternoon the girls weretaken to the snow fields on Rail(glacier, a short distance from theChalet, and the various teams weregiven personal instruction in ski-ingby the guides. Rapid progress wasmade, and the very fine showing thatall the girls made in the champion-ship events on Saturday showed howquickly ski-ing can be learned. St.Margaret's College A team, consistingof Misses Isobel Wright, Betty An-drews, and Eleanor Everist, won thechampionship, and with it the cup pre-sented by Mrs B. Sinilar, of Timaru.

On Sunday morning the girls visitedthe Hochstetter ice falls, and a partyof teachers went as far as the MalteBrun Hut.

Trophies were presented to thewinners by Mr B. L. Wigley, who ex-pressed his gratification at the numberthat had attended.

"During the recent tour of NewZealand with the MaryleboneCricket Club's team, I had the plea-sure of travelling through the Do-minion with the members of theside," said Mr H. B. Lusk, presi-dent of the Hawke's Bay Cricket As-sociation, and president of the NewZealand Cricket Council, whenspeaking to the Hawke's Bay CricketAssociation at Napier. Mr Lusksaid that he had been struck bythe great comradeship among, theMarylebone Cricket Club's players,Which indicated that there was nofoundation in the rumour of dissen-sion in the team. Anotyiefpleasingfeature was that no distinction hadbeen drawn between professionalsand amateurs, and it wap a commonthing for professionals aikd amateursto be seated at the same table.

LOCKS AND SAFES.

CARELESSNESS AS HELPTO BURGLARS.

SOME POPULAR MISCONCEP-TIONS,

Safe-breakers and burglars are notusually so skilled in handling locksas most persons think them, accordingto Mr H. Sturge, of the locksmithingiirm of Handisides and Sturge. In aninterview yesterday Mr Sturge statedthat criminals of this type would notbe half so successful as they were ifpersons were not careless in what theydid with the keys of safes or negli-gent in fitting good locks to doors.At the same time he discussed someof his more amusing experiences withlocks that had failed to yield to thoefforts of their owners.

"It often seems that persons mustthink* locksmiths are magicians," saidMr Sturge. "When they lose a keythey send us a drawing of the outsideof the keyhole to indicate the natureof the new key they want. They saytney want a key lor a safe, an 'ordin-ary safe,' and when we investigatewe find they want a kev for the meat-sai'e. One woman wanted a key tora box. When she, was told more in-formation was necessary, she wrotethat it was for a Jong box, painted inblack enamel. And not one person ina thousand knows what his own door-key looks like, nor can he pick outa similar one from a dozen placed be-fore him.

Five Men Baffled."Once I opened in three sec-

onds without a key a safe thathad resisted the united effortsof five men for an hour anda half," he continued. "They hadtied a rope to the handle, and hadtugged on it all together; they hadtried screwdrivers, but they haa failedto lind out if the safe was reallylocked. It was not. All I had to dowas to turn the handle the right way,"he said. "Another time I was calledto a factory where the whole staffwas shut.out one morning because thedoor key nad been lost. Yet therewas a porthole in the door whichanybody could have opened, and byreaching his hand round have workedthe lock from the inside. Anothertime I was called to open a combina-tion safe because the owner had for-gotten or lost the number of the com-bination," said Mr Sturge. "It wouldhave been a difficult job to open thesafe, but I examined it carefully andfound the number had been chalkedon the back. I rubbed it out, workedthe dials correctly so that the safecould be opened, and the ownerthought I was a wizard."

These incidents were illustrationsof the way in which persons were"beaten" by a lock. "Persons call usto places miles away, and when wrget there we find that the lock thathas held them up is a ninepennypadlock that they could wrench offwith a screwdriver," said Mr Sturge.They have two keys to a safe, andcarefully leave one inside it, so thatit will not be lost. Then they losethe key they have been carryingabout with them, and have to call ina locksmith's aid to open the safe.On one occasion a safe was broughtm to the workshop to be opened andthe first old key I tried opened it. Iwas lucky, but the safe had nsverbeen properly locked. Only too oftenperson.* fail to turn locks properlvhome, and then feel surprised whena burglar opens them easily."

Illogical Behaviour.People were very illogical in theirbehaviour about locks, said Mr Sturge.

They saw to it that their front doors,on which usually no burglar couldoperate without being seen from thestreet were fitted with good locks, butthey were careless about the backdoor. There they nearly-always haaa much less effective lock, althoughany sensible burglar would go to theback, where there was leas chancethat he would be observed. The'samethoughtlessness was shown about gar-age doors. Generally the owner useda good padlock, but its usefulness wasconsiderably diminished because thestaple.was flimsy or wan attached withordinary carpenter's wood screws. Afew minutes work with a screwdriverwould enable the staple to be re-moved, or the door to be taken oftits lunges.

'. When a burglar managed to open adoor,, whether of a house or a safe,he -was generally credited with un-usual cleverness, but in nine cases outof ten he.epuid never have beeq-suc-cessful but for carelessness on the partof the owners. Peoplecarefully lockedtheir backs doers, but left a note tosay where the key could be found, oreven if they did not leave a note,they left the key on a nearby windowledge or hid it under the mat—all ofwhich was very helpful for burglars.

Experience of Firms.Carelessness of this type was not

confined to householders. A Christ-church warehouse was broken into,and the safe was rifled by a burglar,whose skill in safe-breaking con-sisted in using the' key, which hadbeen left hanging on a nail nearby.That seemed to be a too commonmethod of guarding the contents ofa safe. Another firm kejst the keys ofthe main safe—a really strong safe,that would have been very difficultto break into—in another very simplesmall safe in the office. The man whobroke in knew where the keys werekept, and had no trouble in breakingopen the small safe. After that hisjob was easy, and yet he was creditedwith unusual smartness. Casbboxes,especially the cheaper sort, were notmuch protection, for a tin-openermade the burglar's job easy, and inany cas<» they could be carried awayand operated on elsewhere at leisure."If a good mWera safe is "properlylocked and the key is not available,the only way tq open it is to turnit open with acetone," Mr Sttoge con-tinued, "That is a job for a specialistwho knows the .construction of safelocks, and not for- any welde? ran-dom. Similarly, iujl knowledge isnecessary to blow a safe properly- Innine cases out of ten when explosivesare -used the safe is not opened,' andthe only result is to tangle the boltsof the lock. Usually it is a flukewhen a burglar succeeds in openinga safe in this way. Helped by know-ledge of a particular type of lock, itis not a long job to open a .jafe withacetone. It took me ten toburn open the door of a bank strong-room, the key of which had becomejammed in the lock."

Skeleton Keys.Misconceptions about the nature anduse of skeleton keys were common,

and people thought locksmiths Had amaster key that would open all kindsof locks. That was entirely wrong, forany particular skeleton key would fitonly one series of locks, and there wasno such thing as a skeleton key for acylinder lock—the type which wascommonly referred to as a "Yale"lock, though that name was popularlyused to cover many different makes.To illustrate his point, Mr Sturge pro-duced a score of skeleton keys for theordinary type of house locks, andadded that he was constantly findinglocks which none of these keys wouldopen. The modern type of lock usedon' safes could not be opened withanyskeleton key, for a matter of a thous-andth of an inch would be enough toprevent the levers operating.

Combination safes were also thesubject of misconceptions. Thefamiliar dodge of the "movie" crim-inal, of listening for the click of thecombination as an aid to working sucha lock, was based on error. The clicksmade when the dial was operatedmight mean anything, and rarely in-dicated that the right combination ofnumbers had been found. It was avery simple matter to open somecheap combination safes. If the doorwas given one crack with a hammersome part of the lock would usuallyfracture, and the safe could be opened.

SILVER COINS.�-

SMALL PEOSPECT OF StINTINGIN N$W ZEALAND.

[CEO 3?*ffisS Bpecgil Berrieo.]

DUNgDIN, May 22.The "proposal to increase pilver

coinage in the Dominion was com-mented on fey a representative -ofa weli-toown firm of engravers inthe city. He informed '* reporter,to-day that if the proposal wereAdopted it was extremely doubtfulwhether the minting of wins wouldbe done in New Zealand.

It was stated that while therewould he no difficulty in producingcoins of the required {standard, nofirm in this country had machinerycapable of turning them out in suffi-cient quantities to enable it to com-pete effectively with the Melbournemint, which, in the event of the coin-age being increased, would probalarysecure a contract from the New Zea-land Government Even if any NewZealand firm desired to undertakeminting, it would be necessary toobtain the requisite machinery fromEngland, and the opinion was ex-pressed that by the time this hadbeen done, and the plant assembledand in working order, at least 12months would have elapsed beforethe first issue of coins could be made.In the circumstances, it was thoughtthat New Zealand engravers wouldbe content to allow the work to bedone in Australia.

Few realise the extent to whichwool is made to play its part in theevery-day life of the community,and as Mr W. E. Barnard, M.P., com-mented at the opening of a woolexhibition at Napier, it is remark-able to find how many fine thingsare made of wool, says the "DailyTelegraph." It is difficult also toappreciate the enormous number ofsheep there are in the world at thepresent time. Australia heads thelist with 110,000,000, then come So-viet Russia with 89,000,000, America53,000,000, South Africa 45,000,000,Argentine 44,000,000, India §7,000,000,China 35,000,000, Npw * Zealand28,000,000. New Zealand thus occu-pied eighth place among sheep grow-ing countries of the world, Eng-land and Wales coming eleventhwith only 17,000,000. Onertenth ofthe sheep grow* in sew Z,ealfm4 *reto be found in Hawke's Bay, said)Mr Barnard.

Effective to Fourteenth Place. jMr freeman mid that a few effect!tive preferences in the councillors'issue were found at the fourteenth

choice, but generally speaking apreference after 12 had very littlevalue. One voter had expressedpreferences up to 44, but unfortu-nately he omitted the figure 1, andthus made bis vote informal.

A further table showed the num-ber of votes lost by the omissionof fractions. The number of votesso lost by the main parties was.considerably less than in 1931, de-clared Mr Freeman. This was ac-counted tor by the reduction in thenumber of nominations by theseparties. The fractions lost by theminor parties grouped showed:anincrease when compared with the.1931 figures.

Recently Mr W.-E. Barnard, MP.,:drew the attention ofSecondary Schools Education Boardto a reference to the physical andnervous condition of some pupils at::the Napjer Girls' High School. Iji areport to the board, one of the in-,spectors who recently visited "theschool remarked'upon the poor phv-.sjcaj and. nervous condition oj"anumber of thf girls. Mr Barnard'asked the whether thiscondition could be ascribed to theearthquake. The secretary said thatBQ i£*Fence >va§.to theeffects ofthe 1931 earthquake, to which MrBaj-nard responded with a reQuestthat the principal secure a reportupon the subject to the next meetingof the board.

DRAWINGS OFANIMALS.

( MANY ENTRIES FORL COMPETITION.

BABBITS MOST FAVOUREDSUBJECTS.

The drawing competition which theSociety for the Prevention of Crueltyito Animals conducts annually for mem-bers of its junior league, has drawnexceptionally big emries this year.fThere are now more than 1900 chil-dren, who are members oE the league,and a considerable number of themgent in drawings.

The rules governing the competitionfay that the drawing must be in pen-

it or pen and ink, the subjects arejto be animals, and the work is to bedone under the supervision of school j(authorities. The entries are dividedanto six classes, according to ages.

For some reason which the organ-flser (Mrs A. L. Millington) is unableito explain, rabbits have been chosen(by a considerable majority of the chil-dren as subjects for their drawings.fThere are a few horses and some gui-nea pigs, but the rabbits outnumberthem all. Most of the work is of aremarkably high standard, althoughfthere are several very unconventionaljiorses and dogs.

The drawing awarded first prize inShe under 18 section is of a rabbit,land it is a rabbit which could tiejustly proud of its head. The secondprize in this section is also a rabbit.A relief from the succession of draw-ings with rabbits as their subject, ism. horse's head—considered to be the[most difficult animal study for a childito do—but this is remarkably true tolife. , j

A special prize has been awardedto the youngest member who entered,a girl who is only nine years old.

The new home for the nursesengaged at the Christchurch Hospi-tal, is to be opened formally onWednesday, May 31. Representa-tives of local bodies have been in-vited to attend the gathering. Tenyears ago it became apparent thatat was absolutely necessary to pro-vide more accommodation for thenurses, and seven years ago it wasSroposed that the building should

e erected on a part of the groundsIcnown as the cabbage patch, butowing to strong protests by thepublic another site had to befound. After some negotiation a«ate fronting Riccarton avenue, ad-joining'the hospital grounds, and«art of the area formerly includedto the North Canterbury Acclima-i3sation Society's garden, wassecured. The architects to theboard, Messrs Collins and West,

Erepared the plans, and in Deeem-er, 1930, the contract was let to

Messrs J. W. Beanland ami Sons,■Who started work early in 1931. \

Future Requirements,.The building has cost more than

[£68,000, but provision has beenmade ifor future expansion of thehospital. The building wi}l carry,5f and when necessary, two or threeadditional storeys. The accommo-dation provided permits of a singleyoom for each nurse; at present injnany cases there are two in eachroom, and accommodation has hadto be provided in different parts ofthe hospital building.

BOOT CONTRACTS

FOOTWEAR FOR THEUNEMPLOYED.

i

OFFER BY RETAILERS.

SUPPLY AT 10 PER CENT.

COMMISSION.

i A representative meeting of foot-' wear retailers, wholesalers, manufac-turers, and repairers decided last nightto make an offer to the UnemploymentBoard to distribute the footwear underthe board's large scale contract supplyscheme on a "10 per cent, commission,goods on consignment" basis.

A motion, "That we as footwear re-tailers of Christchurch emphaticallyprotest against the action of the Gov-ernment in calling for tenders andsupplying boots to relief workers, asthis will tend to create further unem-ployment and bring the retailers intoserious financial difficulties; and weare also of opinion that relief workersshould draw a living wage in theordinary way and buy their require-ments in the open market," was carriedunanimously by the retailers present.

The wholesalers and manufacturers,later in the meeting, passed the fol-lowing resolution unanimously: "Themanufacturers and wholesalers repre-sented at this meeting strongly supportthe principle that distribution of thefootwear supply should be throughthe footwear retailers."

There were about 40 persons presentat the meeting, over which Mr H. R.JBest presided.

The chairman stated that he under-stood the contracts for the manufac-ture of the women's and children'sshoes had not been let yet. The re-tailers in Greymouth had supported aprotest against the distribution of thecontract footwear by the board. Therehad been a suggestion both from Dun-edin and Auckland that the retailersshould accept the distribution of thewomen's and children's boots and shoeson the basis of a 10 per cent, commis-sion. He did not think that figure wasadequate, and perhaps the best thingwould be to have nothing to do withany of the distribution.

"The Thin End of the Wedge."'■This action of letting contracts for

the manufacture of boots is the thinend of the wedge," Mr Best continued."It might easily be extended soon toinclude clothing, blankets, groceries,and meat, and even other things, too.A decision on the present point istherefore most important. The idealmethod is for the retailers to have thedistribution of the goods at a faircharge. Concrete suggestions to theboard are needed. I understand thatsimilar meetings to this are to be heldin Dunedin and Timaru. Meetingshave already been held in Auckland,Greymouth, and Oamaru."

Many questions were asked concern-ing the operation of the board's pro-posals for distribution, but the chair-man explained that there was no defi-nite information available. Opinionswere given, however, that the salestax would not be a cha je against thedistributors, and that supplies wouldalmost certainly be on consignment.

Mr Best said that the principle atstake was very important. He had hada great deal of experience with Gov-ernment departments, especially con-cerning the effort' to establish stan-dard footwear, and he had not been im-pressed. However, there was generalsympathy for the relief workers.Direct supply would be wrong in prin-ciple and retailers ought to help allthey could.

An explanationgiven of -ie need forretailers handling the women's andchildren's shoes and boots was thatmore care in fitting was required infitting them. Heavy men's boots werenot-as important in that respect.

A retailer claimed that unless thegoods were put into shops on consign-ment the handling would be at a losswith the margin fixed at 10 per cent.At such a figure the loss would workout at up to 15 per cent, he calculated.

Interference Resented.Mr T. H. Woods: Even if we agree to

handle the footwear at a fixed per-centage we should still protest againstthe principle. There are some casesof distress, of course, which have tobe met, but the Government or theUnemployment Board should have con-sulted the trade before starting in freecompetition with it. The state has coal,but there is no distribution of free coalto be made. If the Government wantsto have a fair go, let it "have a go"at its own coal. I dare say there willbe-encroachment on other trades. Wemust protest even though we assist.Years ago a lot of. time and moneywere wasted in an attempt to establishstandardised boots and nothing cameof it. I consider that coal is just asimportant as footwear, if not more so.

Theretailers then affirmed the motionoutlined above, and on the motion ofMr Stewart Robinson it was decidedthat the retailers offer to supply thefootwear on a basis of 10 per cent,goods on commission.

A committee, consisting of MessrsRobinson, Donnelly, Pannell, Falconer,and Woods, was elected to interview arepresentative of the UnemploymentBoard to ascertain the details of theboard's scheme.

The "details of the retailers' offerwere discussed in committee, afterwhich the manufacturers and whole-salers present passed the resolutionsupporting the principle of the re-tailers' protest.

DROWNED IN BATH.

VERDICT AT INQUEST.

A verdict of suicide by drowningwas returned by Mr E. D. Mosley,Coroner, at an inquest held yesterdayinto the death of Ethered GerardEvans, a married man, aged 55. of 145Ferry road, who was found dead onSunday morning, lying face down-wards in a bath of hot water at hishome.

Sergeant A. Leckie represented thepolice.

William Howard Evans, a son, gaveevidence of identification. He saidthat his father's health was generallygood, but through domestic troubleshe had often threatened to take hisown life. At 8.20 on Sunday witnesswas called by his mother, who hadfound her husband locked in the bath-room. A doctor and the police werecalled immediately.

Leslie Watt Evans, the widow, saidthat her husband was addicted todrink, and she had had to take separa-tion proceedings. Her husband had sofrequently threatened to end his life*u2 not much not ice was taken of his

Co^st^hle L- p- Ricketts describedthe finding of the body.

*u Afor Nazi attacks on

the trade union movement and pre-parations for war, the CanterburyTrades and Labour Council, at itsmeeting on Saturday night, discus-sed a proposal to boycott Germangoods. The secretary was instructedto communicate with the NationalExecutive of the Trades and LabourFederation, urging it to get in touchwith the Trade Union Congress inEngland and trades councils in Aus-tralia and New Zealand with the ob-ject of placing a boycott on Germangoods.

BOOT REPAIRS.

CRITICISM OF RELIEFSCHEME.

INTERFERENCE WITH PRIVATETRADESMEN ALLEGED.

Strong criticism of the boot repair-ing scheme conducted by the Citizens'Relief Association, with the assistanceof the Unemployment Board, in Christ-

I church, was expressed by repairers ata meeting of footwear wholesalers, re-tailers, manufacturers, and repairersheld last night. Allegations weremade that the scheme was beingabused, that it did not give good work-manship, that the best material wasnot used, and that. it seriously inter-fered with the trade of the boot re-pairers in business in the city. »

The discussion was introduced bya delegation representing the repair-ers. Mr P. Taylor said that the sys-tem of carrying out boot repairs con-ducted by the Citizens' Relief Asso-ciation with the financial aid from theUnemployment Board could not be de-fended, and as it operated at presentan emphatic protest should be en-tered. The work was not on an eco-nomically sound basis. The stand-ard of workmanship was not high, andthe jobs turned out were inferior.The leather in use was shoulder leatheronly. He had seen many samples ofwork done at the depot, and they werenot up to standards recognised by menin the repairing trade. In the mainit was from two weeks to a monthbefore boots taken to the depot weiereturned repaired, and then 'hey werehardly worth wearing.

Abuse of Charity Alleged.Mr Taylor added that the scheme

was abused, as neighbours of reliefworkers or friends contrived to havetheir repairs sent to the depot, anddone for nothing also. Originally thework had been undertaken by the as-sociation in order to put into commis-sion boots—out of repair—given bycity people. At present ordinary re-pair work was undertaken. Legiti-mate 'work should be done by cityrepairers, who would then be able totake on men as demand insisted.

Another repairer said that it wassuggested by the association recentlythat in future the minimum chargesfor repairs be Is for children's andwomen's boots and shoes, and Is 6dfor men's.

Mr W. Taylor said that the schemeas at present constituted representeda certain amount of waste. The re-pair work took a long time, the workwas of an inferior type generally, andthe principle of the UnemploymentBoard thus interfering with privaterepairers was very wrong.

Statements Quoted."The organisation responsible is the

Citizens' Relief Association," Mr Tay-lor added. "I know the man whowas in charge, and he stated that workcame in to the depot from persons whocould well afford to pay for the re-pairs to be done in legitimate chan-nels. It came in with other worklegitimate because it is from personsreally in distress. There is no doubtthat the work of the depot is inferior,ana there is the other aspect, that diemen employed at the. depot wouldrather be employed outside. I alsoknow one man who stated that he didnot want to be boot repairing, butthat when he put his occupation downas bootmaker at the UnemploymentBureau he was sent to work at thedepot. He had no choice in the mat-ter.

Mr T. H. Woods: A deputation oncewaited on the association in protestagainst this repairing, but there was nosatisfaction. Ido not think this ques-tion is concerned with the latest pro-test to the Unemployment Boardagainst the manufacture of footwearand direct distribution to the reliefworkers.

Mr Taylor: The UnemploymentBoard pay the wages of the men work-ing for the association boot repairing.Surely the protest should be to theboard,

Mr A. Rennie: There are more than100 members of the repairers' organisa-tion in Christchurch and they shouldbe entitled to a hearing. I think thatif the retailers had taken the same in-terest 18 months ago as is now dis-played there would have been a goodresult and the board would not bemanufacturing boots to-day.

Mr Woods: That is not true. The re-tailers were interested in the problemsof repairers and the manufacturerswere sympathetic. There is ho needfor a split at all.

It was decided after further discus-sion that Mr Woods present the re-pairars* protest against the operationof the association's depot to the Un-employment Board through Mr P. R.Climie.

ALLEGATIONS DENIED.

STATEMENT BY MR G. HARPER.V

A denial that the work done byboot repairers working at the depotof the Citizens' Relief Association

was of inferior quality was made byMr George Harper, chairman of thecommittee of the association, when hewas interviewed by a representativeof "The Press" last night.

Mr Harper stated that there hadbeen no decision to charge for theiepairs done by the relief workersat the depot, although it had beensuggested. The repairs were done asthey had been for the last two years,except that the staff had been in-creased. The arrangement was thatMr R. T. Bailey, officer in charge ofthe Labour Department, provided theworkers whose wages were thus paidby the Unemployment Board. Unem-ployed cobblers were employed forthe repairing, which was done with-out a charge being made.;

The quality of the work was equalto the best, Mr Harper added. Thatwas the considered opinion of thosemembers of the committee who werecompetent to judge. The men em-ployed were old-fashioned cobblersand not machinists.

UNEMPLOYMENT.

| MEETING OF LOCAL' COMMITTEE.

CO-ORDINATION OF RELIEFMEASURES.

Most of the business discussed atthe meeting yesterday of the Christ-church Unemployment Committee wastaken in committee. When the com-mittee resumed in open meeting refer-ence was made to a discussion regard-ing the co-ordination of relief mea-sures, and it was decided to postponefurther discussion till the nextmeeting.

The meeting was attended by Crs.E. H. Andrews (chairman), J. W.Beanland, J. S. Barnett, Mrs Annie I.Fraer, Messrs George Maginness,George Harper, W. E. Leadley, S. W.Richardson, W. W. Scarff, W. J. Wal-ter, J. W. Crampton, F. W. J. Belton,R. T. Bailey, the Rev. F. T. Read, andMr L. N. Kitchens (honorary secre-tary ).

As Mr P. R. Climie was attending ameeting of the Unemployment Board,an apology for his absence was re-ceived.

Need for Organisation.Following a discussion in committee,

reference was made in open meetingto the desirableness for the co-ordina-tion of relief agencies.

Mr Scarff suggested that the Mayorshould be asked to invite representa-tives of the committee to the meetingcalled by' him. He was satisfied thatthey could not go on much longer asthey were going, and the Mayor andMr Bailey ought not to be punished asthey had been last Friday. The soonerthey got down to the job the better.None of the local bodies was function-ing in respect of relief measures.

The chairman: If the Mayor decidesto call a meeting of business men I donot see how-we can butt in.

Cr. Beanland: I understand that themeeting is to consider means of rais-ing money.

Referring to certain recommenda-tions made by the committee somemonths ago, Mr Leadley suggestedthat they should invite the Mayor todiscuss them.

The chairman said that already theyhad invited the Mayor to carry out therecommendations of the committee,and he did not see how they couldcompel him to do so.

Mr Harper said that he understoodthat the meeting was to discuss waysand means, and not to discuss anyalteration of the present system of re-lief—no one wanted to go into thatterrible tangle. He had written to theMayor asking him to extend his invita-tion to representatives of the variousvoluntary organisations. The meetinghad nothing to do with the reorganisa-tion of the system.

The chairman said that they wouldhave to wait till after that evening'smeeting of the city council, as theMayor proposed to appoint a commit-tee to administer his fund.

Mr Leadley: You do not think thatthere will be any use of this com-mittee waiting on the Mayor again toadvocate the policy the committeedecided on?

The chairman: Not if he is going totransfer his responsibilities in thatrespect to the committee he proposesto set up. •»

Mr Harper mentioned that in Ti-maru the relief association receiveda certain amount of money from theHospital Board and carried out theboard's duties in respect of relief.

Mr Crampton asked if the £IOOOallocated from the latest art unionhad been for the Mayor's Relief ofDistress, Fund."The chairman: I understand that it

has been allocated to that fund.Cr. Beanland said that from what

he saw it had been allocated for therelief of distress in Christch.urch andhad been sent to the Mayor.

The chairman said that he under-stood that it had been sent direct tothe Mayor.

.It was decided to postpone furtherdiscussion till next meeting.

Central Depot.Mr Harper reported that the re-

moval of the Central Relief Depot toTuam street west had been accom-plished, and things were now in ship-shape order. Thanks to Cr. Beanlandand others who had assisted the pre-mises had been made comfortable.Stoves were being installed, as thepremises, though more commodiousthan the old ones, were somewhatcold. Last week, thanks to those whoregularly made contributions, therehad been a good response, and thecentral depot had been able to issueto the distributing depots a ratherlarger ration.

Fortnightly Meetings Snffgested.On resuming in open meeting it wasreported that Mr Maginness had given

notice to move at the next meetingthat in future the committee meetfortnightly instead of weekly.

MEN'S WORKING TIME.

EFFORT TO HAVE REDUCTIONRESTORED.

The Christchurch City Council de-cided last night to give its support toan effort which is being made by theNorth Canterbury Hospital Board toinduce the Government and the Unem-ployment Board to restore the reduc-tion of 10 per cent, recently made inthe time worked by the unemployedmen.

The following letter was receivedfrom the board:—

"With reference to men who areemployed on relief work for somemonths past, the Mayor has been con-tributing a sum of money every weekto enable the slender earnings ofthese men to be supplemented by asmall grant of food. His funds havenow run out and the board has noallocation to continue this branch ofwork, which, in the winter particu-larly, seems to be most necessary inas-much as the men's earnings duringthe past few months have beenmaterially reduced by the reductionof 10 per cent, from their hours ofwork.

"A Material Difference.""In the circumstances the board is

desirous of approaching the Ministerfor Employment with a request thatthe 10 per cent, 'cut' made in themen's time should be restored to them,and this would make a material differ-ence in the homes of these peoplewhose earnings are so slender thatmany of the essentials have to beomitted.

"The board is desirous now of mak-ing application, but requires the sup-port of all the employing authorities inChristchurch and Canterbury with re-gard to it. Will you kindly give thismatter your consideration and suchassistance as you can in furthering theobject set out?"

On the motion of Cr. Elizabeth R.McCombs it was decided to receive theletter, to endorse the proposal, and toadvise the Minister of this decision.

At the official opening of the ex-tension to' the Mataura freezingworks on Friday, reference wasmade to the money received fromthe Government as a building sub-sidy, says the "Southland DailyNews." This amounted to £IOOO,and it was stated that the companyhad decided to refund the valueof this sum in meat and manuresto the unemployed in Southland.

PREPARING FOR B\TIMES.

"The depression is not going tofor ever, and the thing to do in vmeantime is to keep out of mischit>.to keep fit and clean, and to attend suchclasses as may be of benefit to you,so that when the time comes you willbe ready to grasp your opportunity,"said Mr Irving Sladen, addressing arally of unemployed boys at the YoungMen's Christian Association last even-ing. Mr Sladen said that sooner orlater the boys would be wanted totake their places in the industrial,commercial or professional life of thecommunity and he urged them all toseize every opportunity of betteringthemselves during their period of en-forced leisure.

Mr Peter Hockley was the chairman,and in addition to Mr Sladen's address,Mr W. J. Hunter spoke to the boys ontheir choice of a career. All three aremembers of the Boys' EmploymentCommittee of the Rotary Club. Com-munity singing was held, and educa-tional cinematograph films wereshown. „, ,

Mr Sladen said that after muchthought he had decided to address hisaudience not as boys, or even as men,but as fellow-citizens. With EmpireDay falling on Wednesday he thoughtthat a few words on the significance ofcitizenship of the Empire might notbe out of place. Few, particularlythose of the young generation, realisedwhat a privilege it was to be livingunder the Union Jack. It was agreater heritage, he considered, thanbeing born with silver spoons in theirmouths. "I don't care who you are,or what your station may be youshould feel that your country and Em-pire is the most glorious thing in theworld," said Mr Sladen.

Significance of Empire.

"We are not keen on gush and senti-ment, but I do want you to feel andknow that the Union Jack stands forsquare dealing, and honour beforeeaii A Briton's word is said to behis bond. It does not stand for mili-tarism, but is quick .to Protect theweak from the aggression of the bully.

Mr Sladen said that if his younghearers lived under any flag but tneUnion Jack they woujd not enjoy thepriceless thing called liberty.

"The moment one sets foot in aforeign land-I speak from consider-able experience—one senses a differ-ent atmosphere immediately, said MrSladen. "One has to live and travelin a foreign country to realise justwhat it means to be a British sub-iect The future of the Mag and ofNew Zealand and the Empire de-pends on the character of the risinggeneration. The Empire has takencenturies to build, but it cart bedestroyed in an exceedingly short spaceof time. ~ , ~

"The forces of disloyalty and dis-ruption are ever with us, I am sorryto sav. There are persons among uswho sneer at tradition and who willtell you that loyalty is old-fashioned.Don't you believe a word of it. I havenever yet met a man or a woman whorefused to honour and respect theflag who did any good for himself. Heis always more or less an outcastdown and out. If you are honest andstrong and loyal to your forefathersand to those glorious men and womenwho pioneered this country, and if youfollow the advice and guidance of yourparents and acknowledge God as theSupreme Being over all, then the Em-pire has nothing' to fear."

Mr Sladen urged his hearers tolove and honour their mothers, who,he said, were the real Empire-build-ers. "I have never known a boy gowrong who took his mother into hisconfidence," he said.

Choosing a Career.Mr Hunter told the boys that with

so many amusements and distractionsin the present-day life, it was hardfor them to settle down'to hard work.He was old-fashioned enough, how-ever, to believe that only by hardstudy from books or actual experi-ence, could they learn. "It is a goodthing for a boy of 14 or 16 years ofage to earn money and to feel thathe has earned it by his own work,"said Mr Hunter. "It makes him feelthat he is worth his salt and that heamounts to something. It is very badfor a boy to reach the age of 16 or18 or 21 and still have earned nothing."He advised boys unable to find workto study assiduously instead at thesubject most interesting to them. Hebelieved that a boy who felt a leaningtoward a certain occupation shouldgo straight to it. The many who hadno clear idea of what • occupationthey would most like to follow, mustconsider first what were their capabili-ties. Those who felt themselves un-able to study should rule out the pro-fessions. Mr Hunter advised the boysto talk the question over with theirparents and to take advantage of thevocational guidance service at theYoung Men's Christian Association."We cannot all be Prime Ministers orcommercial magnates, but neverthelessaim high," advised Mr Hunter. "Ifyou feel that you have the brains andare prepared to work hard to fit your-self for something better, do not besatisfied with a paltry job that anyonecould do. In this country there isevery chance, for boys with no specialadvantages to rise to the top. I knowmany such, and their names would befamiliar to you, but they have all beenhard workers."

SOUTH CHRISTCHURCHBOYS' COMMITTEE.

A CANVASS OF THEDISTRICT.

A meeting of the South ChristchurchDistrict Boys' Employment Committeewas held last evening, at which ar-rangements were made to canvass for alist of unemployed boys in the dis-trict. The Rev. L. A. Rogers presided.

Mr V. French, representing the cen-tral committee, said that there must behundreds of unemployed boys in SouthChristchurch alone, and it was hopednot only to find positions but also toprovide activities for them. The com-.mittee of the Young Men's ChristianAssociation had already arranged forphysical culture classes, and attemptswere being made to provide some oc-cupation for every unemployed boy.The first thing was to encourage SouthChristchurch boys to register them-selves and join in the activities pro-vided for them. In other districts can-vasses had been made and lists ofnames of unemployed boys had beenmade. All these boys had been cir-cularised and their names handed into the association. The main thingwhich he could emphasise was the ne-cessity for getting hold of the boys andobtaining definite facts of the position.

Mr Rogers said that the work of thecommittee was to explore the field inits particular area. He had alreadytold Mr A. J. McEldowney, generalsecretary of the Young Men's Christ-ian Association, that St. David'sChurch schoolroom could be used forphysical training classes.

Mr G. E. Franklin, representing theYoung Men's Christian Association,said that Mr McEldowney had askedhim to report that physical trainingwould begin in the schoolroom onMondays and Wednesdays at 10.30 a.m.The first class would begin on May 29.The first thing was to secure thenames of the boys. The whole suc-cess of the movement depended ongetting the names of the boys in order

to be sure of the facts of the positionand if the Young Men's Christian As-sociation knew of these boys it wouldbe possible to do something for them.

Mr Rogers said that the committeehad really been formed at a previousmeeting, but it was necessary to electa permanent secretary and chairman.Mr D. C. Shier was elected chairmanand Mr A. E. Hardie secretary.

After a discussion of the area whichwould be covered it was decided tocall the committee the South Christrchurch District Boys' EmploymentCommittee.

In answer to a question, Mr Frenchsaid that in other districts there hadbeen excellentresponse to the canvass-ing activities. Boys who were regis-tered would not oe promised work,but they would have definite chancesof getting work. It was necessary toavoid prpmising boys work if theywould register.

It was unanimously decided to insti-tute a canvass of the district for thenames of unemployed boys, arid tomake arrangements for this work. A

i special sub-committee was set up, con-i sisting of the chairman, the secretary,and Messrs J. A. Johnstone, and J. G.Brown.

INCREASED RATIONS.

PROPOSAL OF RELIEFASSOCIATION.

Proposals for in.-easing the supplyof rations allowed by the relief Cepotsin the city are under consideration bya special committee of the Citizens*Metropolitan Relief Association.

The committee, which consists ofMr George Harper (chairman), BishopBrodie, and Messrs W. W. Scarff andJ. W. Woodbury, was set up by theassociation to consider and report ast- the further steps to be taken to en-sure to distressed persons a more ade-quate ration than, that which the asso-ciation is now endeavouring to sup-ply to them.

A meeting of the committee washeld on Friday, when valuable infor-mation obtained from the Faculty ofHome Science at the Otago University,and from the borough of Hutt, Wel-lington, regarding the adequacy of therations that should be issued and as toco-ordination between the various localbodies in the administration of reliefschemes was considered. It was de-cided to suggest to the Mayor (Mr DG. Sullivan, M.P.) and to Mr H. J.Otley (chairmr.n of the North Canter-bury Hospital Board), tha.t they shouldreceive a deputation from the commit-tee for the purpose of discussing somebetter method of supplying rations tothose in need. Friday next, at 2.30p.m., was tentatively suggested as *hetime for the conference, and the Mayorsaid yesterday that he was agreeableto that date.

THE FARMERS.TO THE EDITOR OF THE PMSSS.

Sir,—It will be news to most farm-ers to learn that Chambers of Com-merce are of much benefit to the farm-ing industry. In a reply to a statementby your correspondent, Mr George A.Bruce, an official prominent in farm-ers' organisations stated that farmers'interests were often promoted by theChamber of Commerce. He was ratherunfortunate in his instance of this,namely, the bulletin on "Winter Feed-ing," which appeared in "The Press"on May 13. This and other bulletinsconcerning farming have been pre-pared by the Lineoln College staff, andare evidently the result of much workand sometimes careful and lengthyexperiments. Like Mr Bruce, I failto see why these should come second-hand to farmers. They would get moreattention if sent direct, and besides,it would place the credit where it wasdue.

Farmers have cause to look withsuspicion on Chambers of Commercein general, as many of these are indirect opposition to farming interests.We have only to look back to see whathappened when any measure for therelief of farmers was proposed. Takethe Mortgagors Relief Act, the reduc-tion of interest, and last the raisingof the exchange rate. Had the ex-change been raised when Australiaraised hers, it is safe to say that theposition of our farmers, and conse-quently of New Zealand itself, wouldbe very different to-day. At the be-ginning of the slump we were thank-ing God that we were not Austra-lians, but to-day there is a thankfulAustralia instead. Australian bankershave expressed surprise at New Zea-land failing to get into line withheir exchange. With a handicap oflo per cent, and more in favour ofthe Australian farmer, both in the ex-port and the intercolonial trade, theywere rather curious toknow what wasto become of the New Zealand farmerNow they know; so do we. Everyeffort was made by importers andfinanciers to defeat the exchange pro-posals, and they have succeeded indelaying them until the benefits arevery small; in fact, there is more thana suspicion that the exchange is beinginterfered with in order to discredit itin farmers eyes, and have it loweredagain. A sore point with them was that£nnmnnn

go™? \l put more than£8 000,000 into the farmers' pocket,but they overlooked the fact that itwas only putting it back where itcame from. The biggest mistake theChambers of Commerce ever madewas in trying to leave the farmer outaltogether. This cannot be done Infairness to the Christchurch branchS^t-

THE ECONOMIC CONFERENCE.TO VHE EDITOH OP THB TRUSSSir,—l thought I made myself suf-ficiently clear in my last letter as tothe conditions that should govern the

size of a delegation, namely, that itshould depend upon the number of in-terests involved; but since "S.M."failed ( to understand me, I hopeyou will allow me to go into the mat-ter a little more fully. I find thatin nq country does representationvary directly with population; for in-stance, an ordinary county council hasabout seven or eight members andChristchurch, with 20 or 30 times thepopulation, has only 16; and for thewhole, of New Zealand a House ofRepresentatives of 80 members is cer-tainly adequate.

As regards the Economic Confer-ence itself, if it were an internationaleconomic parliament, whose decisionswould be binding upon all the coun-tries participating, then it would benecessary that the voting power andpossibly the number of representa-tives should vary with the number ofinhabitants, but since it is a purelydeliberative conference, whose resultswill be referred to the legislatures or!the participating countries, all thatis required is thai each delegationshall be in a position to state the eco-nomic case of the country it repre-sents and have sufficiently competentadvisers for its members to be ableto understand the economic problemsof the other countries.

If a country with au agriculturalpopulation of 200,000 has its agricul-tural interests represented by one ad-viser, then "S.M." insists that a coun-try with an agricultural population of20,000,000 must have 100 advisers ormembers in the delegation because itsagricultural population is 100 times as Igreat. Personally I consider that ifone adviser could adequately adviseon the agricultural problems of thelarger country, then one adviser eachis what they should have, because oneadviser would serve all the interestsof the 20,000,000 as well as 100.

Quite apart from the conferenceitself, I consider that a visit to Eng-land by Mr Forbes is a invest-ment. Ever since he became PrimeMinister he has been confronted withthe problem of how to reduce ex-penditure. He received a legacy ofreckless expenditure and borrowingfrom his predecessors of the last 50 or60 years. There must still be at least£1,000,003 a year to be saved in NewZealand, and he will have an oppor-tunity of seeing how expenditure hasbeen kept down in other countries or.rather, how other countries have triedto reduce expenditure. He must re-turn to this country better equippedfor his difficult position as the resultof attending the Economic Confer-ence.—Yours, etc.,

L.8.8.May 22, 1933.

TRANSPORT COSTS.TO THE EDITOR OF TUB VRE3S.

Sir,—The Farmers' Union has beenholding its annual conference, andas usual has warned the Governmentthat it will not tolerate any furtherrestrictions on motor transport.

The following is an extract from astatement made in the House of Re-presentatives by a late Minister forTransport: "The New Zealand Par-liament, in passing the Transport Act,affirmed the principle of rationalisedconditions, subject to State regulation.Parliament considered that the enor-mous economic loss taking place atpresent left no alternative but to in-troduce new regulations at the earliestpossible date. The capital invested ontransport facilities in New Zea-land amounted to approximately£220,000,000, and the annual cost ofoperating land transport alone totalled£40,000,000. The capacity of thecountry to pay this amount had to

be measured by the income derivedfrom national production, which wasestimated to yield for 1930-1931 ap-proximately. £97,000,000. There wasno room for doubt that far too greata proportion of the national incomewas being absorbed by expenditure onland transport. This expenditure con-stituted a very wide field for effect-ing economies which were urgentlyrequired to restore the economic equi-librium."

It was apparent, said the Minister,that the rehabilitation of the Domin-ion's financial position was definitelydependent on a material reduction intransport costs. Immediate steps, there-fore, had to be taken to put the ex-isting system on a sound basis.

Since the above statement was madethe national income has fallen stilllower, but it is doubtful whethertransport costs have been reduced toany great extent. It would be inter-esting if the practical men comprisingthe Farmers' Union would statewhether, in their opinion, this coun-try can, in these times, afford to spendapproximately half the national in-come on land transport, or if not, by(what means this enormous cost shouldbe reduced. The total annual interestbill on all public and private debt wasestimated at £24.000,000. This amounthas been reduced by legislation by 20per cent. The Farmers' Union is veryinsistent that interest on mortgageson land should be further reduced, onedelegate suggesting 2 per cent. Iwould like just to ask what is theiropinion with regard to the far greatecamount. Does the business of this coun-try really necessitate the exnenditureof anything aporoaching £44,000,000 onland transDort?

In considering the auestion of trans-port the fact should be kept in mindthat the petrol used to propel the roadtransport comes mainly from America.the country that bv its poh'cvof selling to all the rest of the world,while refusing to take goods or ser-vices in payment, has disorganised thowholf financial system, thereby bring-ing about the stpt.e of affairs nrevail-ing e' present. That £44.000.000 seem?to me a considerable sum and the re-duction of it seems to demand atten-tion.—Yours, etc.,

THE ELECTION IMBROGLIO.TO THE T-.DITOn OP TUf. rnms.

Sir. —You very kindly altered MrParlane's initial in my letter pub-lished to-day, and as a result ratherspoilt part of the argument. Mr E.Parlane has a brother, Mr J. Parlane,who is unwise enough to be a memberof the Citizens' Association. The re-ference in my letter was to Mr J.Parlane. who sat on the council as aCitizens' Association representative,and whose qualifications were calledin question at the time, but there wasno great fuss made by the Labourparty. I merely said his qualificationwas slender. If we went further backother names might be mentioned.—Yours, etc.,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE FRE39.

Sir,—Mr J. McCombs in writing toyour paper this morning under thetitle "The Election Imbroglio" com-ments that my qualification to act ascity councillor was "very slender."Will you kindly allow me to reply.

I was on the council during the years1925-26 and 1926-27. During this timeI resided at Clifton but owned a housein town, and for the two years in ques-tion paid £l2 4s 8d and £l4 in rates.I was also a tenant in large office pre-mises in the city.

I was therefore qualified on eitherof these grounds to be on the roll (seethe Municipal Corporations Act, 1920,Sections 6 (a) and (d)), and had in factas a property owner and business manan acute interest in becoming electedand opposing any further increase inrates.—Yours, etc.,

THE FOUNDER OF CANTERBURY.TO TH"! EDITOR OP THE PHEB3.

Sir,—As a, colonist since 1861,I was perturbed when I read thatMr Selwyn Bruce disputed the rightof Mr R. Godiey to the above designa-tion. It would seem a pity, uponthe ground of irrelevancy, to stir upan incident really of no historic inter-est. Since the above letter appeared,Mr C. Hastings Bridge's welcome andvigorous letter has been published,which I would now venture to supple-ment with some interesting informa-tion bearing more especially upon theposition Mr Godiey held from the timehe undertook the organisation of theCanterbury Association, which, aftersome industry, I have gathered mostlyfrom his letters and memoirs.

Regarding Captain Thomas, whowas employed to select and survey asite for the new colony of Canterbury,it was unfortunate that a disagreementshould have arisen immediately MrGodiey arrived at Port Cooper in 1851,but, after all, it was caused only bya difference about the business of theassociation, and should not be viewednow as of so much consequence. Itmay incidentally be mentioned thatin 1859, when in London, CaptainThomas called upon Mr Godiey, whowas then at the War Office, to expresshis regret for his share in the dis-agreement which led to his dismissalby Mr Godiey in the most frank andgenerous manner, resulting in the mostcomplete conciliation. Mr ; Godieywas much gratified with this volun-tary action, which blotted put -.hesingle unpleasant memory connectedwith his administration in Canterbury.Captain Thomas was doubtless a verycompetent man, but paid the penaltyof not keeping within the grant au-thorised by> the Canterbury Associ-ation. As to a memorial to hi? mem-ory, he appears not to have beenoverlooked, in that Mount Thomas, inNorth Canterbury, was named afterhim—a very substantial memorial, andmore stable than the statue whichgraces the square.

Perhaps it may be desirable to ex-plain how Mr Godiey came into themovement to establish a Church ofEngland settlement in Canterbury, mhis own words (partly). It may comeas a shock to admirers of E. G. Wake-field that he was not the originator ofthe scheme of a Church of Englandsettlement, as may be seen in a letterwritten by Mr Godiey, as follows: "TheNew Zealand Company is flirting withme to take their direction, so as towork the labouring oar in the businessof colonisation in New Zealand. If

■I take up this affair I have a schemefor the formation of a Church ofEngland colony."

The most important influence uponMr Godley's life was his introductionto Mr E. G. Wakefield, who had beenattracted to Mr Godiey by his workupon America. Mr Godiey was at-tracted to Mr Wakefield by his studyof, and vigorous writing upon colonis-ation; he was more than a theorist andthe foundation of Wellington, Nelson,and New Plymouth was the work thateventually broke down his health. Ashe improved in health, he lent hispowerful mind and great practical ex-pedience to the scheme for foundingCanterbury. The New Zealand Com-pany had, however, fallen into irre-trievable pecuniary difficulties, andwas hopelessly incapable of undertak-ing any further operations "out of itsown resources." Mr E. G. Wakefieldwas no longer a director of the NewZealand Company when the Canter-bury scheme was mooted, but still hadsufficient power to influence its ac-tions, and by his exertion the com-

pany, even in its desperate plight, wasinduced to lend itself to the forma-tion of a settlement in the MiddleIsland.

Mr Godley, however, "was theauthor" of the particular design onwhich Canterbury was founded, andespecially of that distinguishing fea-ture of the colony, which required thatample funds should be provided outof the proceeds of land for religiousand educational wants of the commun-ity about to be established. Mr God-ley, it was understood in the arrange-ment with Mr Wakefield, was to bethe workman of the whole,, and forthis purpose it was arranged at thesame time that he should be appointeda director of the New Zealand Com-pany, in order that he might conductthe arrangements between the twobodies; but the principal part whichdevolved upon Mr Godley, and which"was all his own," was the labour ofbringing into the scheme a sufficientamount of influence to secure the for-mation of-the-new colony.

It is worthy of notice that most ofthe working members of the manag-ing committee of the Canterbury As-sociation were his own personal friendsand fellow collegians at Oxford. Thelarge array of names of high rankand position proved how widely theinfluence of the founder (Mr God-ley) had made itself felt amongst theintellect and worth of the country:No man not a member of Parliamenthad been more habitually consultedas to policy or steps to be taken bythe party to which he belonged. Hewas induced through ill-health to goto New Zealand. Unfortunately, afterhis departure, some relaxation arose,and the scheme was nearly abandoned.Lord Lyttelton took over the chair-manship from Mr Godley of the man-aging committee, and advanced moneyout of his own pocket to keep it afloat,as did many others, to save the schemefrom ruin. Mr Godley had no ideatill he reached New Zealand that thefunds available had been overdrawnby Captain Thomas. He at once gaveorders to stop all work, which actionhe considered was one of "simple hon-esty." Until land sales began therewas no certainty the colony would be-come a reality. He had no duty butto wait, so he went to Wellington toawait events, and while there assistedthe Wellington settlers in their struggleto force Governor Grey to grant localgovernment.

Mr Deans, a farseeing settler, fre-quently expressed the opinion that MrGodley had saved the colony. Uponhis decision to leave the colony, thecolonists asked him to reconsiderdoing so, and requested him to allowthem to nominate him for election asSuperintendent, which he regretfullydeclined. . .

When the Provincial Council, ot1862, after Mr Godley's death, passeda resolution to erect a statue to hismemory, he was described as the"Founder of the Province," whichshould be convincing evidence ofhis right to the designation, as it if

not likely that the members at thattime would make any mistake aboutsuch a matter. When citizens con-template his statue they can be as-sured he was no imposter, but one ofthe great men of his time, and alwaysa good friend to this province.

Fuller information than I can askspace for can be found in the collec-tion of Mr Godley's letters and me-moirs in the Reference Library. Theywill be found of absorbing interestYours, etc., SCARVELL.

MONEY.TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.

Sir—Your recent article on thesubject of spending is both informa-tive and timely. That a large amountof additional money for State pur-poses is at the present time urgentlynecessary is painfully evident; butwhen one considers the country's

huge aggregate of indebtedness, theidea of further loans (which is evi-

dently under consideration) createsan ominously uncomfortable feeling.Why add to this already enormous in-debtedness? There is something al-most sinister about that rapidly ac-cumulating interest. In New Zealandwe could probably do a very greatdeal more than we are at the presenttime doing to help ourselves. Whylet things go from bad to worse whilewe are waiting for the price levelof our exports to improve? Have welost the art of initiative here in NewZealand? Cannot we do somethingright away to improve the appear-ance of our national balance-sheet?Here we have some 70,000 of our fel-low New Zealanders registered as un-employed—skilled and unskilledworkers—a huge section of the coun-try's most valuable asset, not only notbeing efficiently utilised, but inevit-ably, in many different ways, rapidlydeteriorating.

A further aspect of the matter isthis—that for a number of our ur-gently needed public works, we havepractically the whole of the necessarymaterials in the country. Now onlyone thing is needed in order to con-vert an abstraction into a reality, onecapable of figuring substantially onthe right side of the country's ledger j—and that is "money." The "asset"would be something ever so muchmore valuable than "materials pluswages," for as J. M. Keynes suggestsin the article referred to above, notonly would there be a big saving to"unemployment funds," but those ur-gently needed wages would rapidlycirculate, and, inevitably, rapidly im-prove things all round. Well, whynot create the necessary money?These are .days of emergency, just ascertainly as were those days of Aug-ust, 1914. If it were right to issue asufficiency of Treasury notes then, inthose day? of rapid destruction, itsurely is equally right to-day for pur-poses of rapid reconstruction. Didsome one say "inflation"? If this ex-penditure is represented by an equiv-alent asset, I contend that it is notinflation. And further, if it were, itcould not possibly be any more in-flation thai; ■ if the money were bor-rowed in the ordinary, conventionalmanner from the lenders of moneyin London—and, just think of thesaving to the country in interest. Whynot then for a start get busy rightaway on a new railway station forChristchurch, a new post office forDunedin, and also give immediateeffect to that comprehensive irriga-tion scheme recently outlined by theMayor of this city?—Yours, etc.,

THE NEW ZEALAND LEGION.TO THE EDITOB Oj? THE TBBSS.

Sir,—With regard to the New Zea-land Legion movement, the writer hasgood reasons for believing (1) Thatthe legion is linked up with the or-ganisations led in Great Britain bySir Oswald Mosley and in Australiaby Colonel Eric Campbell. (2) Thatall over the British Empire similarorganisations are either already in ex-istence, or are being formed. (3) Thatin spite of difference in name, andstripped of all fine-sounding, mislead-ing phrases, the real at-the-back-of-the-mind object of all these organisa-tions is the same: namely, to form a"super government" or a governmentabove any government that may haD-pen to be in power. (4) That in theevent . of any so-called "industrial

trouble" (as far as this country is con-cerned), the members of the legionare prepared to act when called uponas strike-breakers, military police,special constables.

Is Dr. Campbell Begg prepared, notpersonally, but on behalf of the mem-bers of the New Zealand Legion, togive a straight-out, definite denial toall these four questions through themedium of "The Press?"—Yours, etc.,

RESPICE FNEM.Hastings, May 18, 1933.[Answering these questions seri-

atim, Dr. Campbell Begg replies: "(1)This is not true. (2) The New ZealandLegion was founded irrespective ofand without any knowledge of anyother organisation and without anycommunication from overseas. (3) Thisis not true in regard to the legion.(4) The legion does not concern itselfwith strike-breaking, military police,or special constables, and every mem-ber of the legion in that respect is inentirely the same position as anyother member of the community."Dr. Campbell Begg adds: "The writerof the letter cannot have good reasonsfor his belief, but has been the vic-tim of deception."]

OUR TREATMENT OF CRIME.TO THE EDITOB Or TUB PiEiS.

Sir,—l should like to thank "Busi-ness Woman" for her pertinent en-quiries. If everyone would take asmuch interest we could soon get thingsimproved. May I offer some replies,out of an experience of some 13 yearswith individual offenders, both duringand after their prisonment.

"What is wrong?" The too-readyuse of imprisonment. "Most of thosewe send to prison in this country arenot criminals at all, only weaklings,"an experienced magistrate told meonce. We have in New Zealand noless than 16 full-blown prisons, threeborstals, 23 minor prisons, as well aspolice cells where we can confine of-fenders "not more than seven days"—all for a population of one millionand a half. But we have not so muchas one home for feeble-minded adults,one hospital for the drink-diseased, orrest home for the senile, or psycho-logical clinic for the local courts;though we have passed legislation forall such institutions for dealing withweaklings and preventing crime. Whynot? No money for them. Onlymoney for prisons! Does that strike"Business Woman" as businesslike?

"Are our prisons too comfortable?"English prisons are said to be moreso; and our own women prisonershave more comfort than the men—yettheir numbers, always small, are les-sening. Why? Largely, lam cer-tain, because the courts hesitate tosend women to prison in the firstplace. Prisons do undoubtedly breedprisoners.

"Should not the lawbreaker bepunished?" Certainly, if he is de-liberate. But it is a shame to kick alame dog for not getting over his stile,and the mass of our petty offendersare "lame dogs." Kicking fails tolift them: so the community gets thepunishment that it in turn deserves,and has to pay again and again fortheir defects and transgressions.

"Probation is no punishment?" Isit not? I do not think that "BusinessWoman" would enjoy it, for it meansthat somebody would have the rightto supervise her daily life, her habits,associates, occupations, and, possiblyexpenditure. Prison puts you in thecornor, under supervision; probationsupervises you in the community. In |prison an offender is relieved of hisresponsibilities, and shut away fromhis temptations; on probation, he isstiffened to deal properly .with both.In prison he is supplied with bad com-pany, which generally dogs him afterrelease, too; on probation he is keptaway from it. As a rule the offen-der's victim gets no redress if theformer is sent to prison; but, kept onprobation, he is required to makesome restitution at least—and nothingis more salutary.

"But it will not deter, like the fearof prison?" Well, the fear of prisonclearly does not deter our petty re-cidivist. Moreover, the best publicdeterrent is now generally agreed tobe certain and swift detection. Hang-ing, it will be remembered, neverstopped theft. England, using proba-tion more, and prison less than we,did not find her crime increase dur-ing the 10 years before the slump; we,using prison more, and probation less,did not find ours decrease. Massa-chusetts, which has now used proba-tion for 50 years, andyearly puts manymore offenders on probation than inprison, claims to have fewer seriouscrimes in proportion to populationthan, any other state in the Union.Does not that suggest that probationis at least as efficient in preventingcrime as the fear of prison, and thatNew Zealand courts could quite safelyemploy it a great deal more?—Yours,etc

B. E. BAUGHAN.May 22, 1933. .

TO THE BDITOR OF THE I-RESb

Sir,—May I say my say? I have someideas. We breed our animals for cer-tain qualities and get results. Prisonstatistics show results of breeding;365, I think, was the number ofcriminals who traced their ancestryback through three generations toone woman. Social science recognisesthis phase of crime origin and is be-ginning to protect society by segrega-tion. Further steps in this directionare yet to be taken. The present ques-tion is how best to treat the annualcrop, and it must necessarily remaina vexed question, which had betterbe left in the hands of experts. Ourspirit friends often tells us how theydeal with the undeveloped souls, asthey are called. The keynote of theirtreatment is kindness. Psychic scienceis not yet taught in'the schools. Whenit is taught, crime will decrease, be-cause the nemesis of wrong-doing—theboomerang effect of it—will'be clearlyshown. I often wonder what sort ofappeal the chaplain makes. If he couldonly clairvoyantly describe thewretched conditions that await thewilful sinner, he would drive homehis argument that now is the timeto take the honesty best policycourse.—Yours, etc.,

BROADCASTING PROGRAMMES.TO THE ISDITOB OF THE PKBSS.

Sir,—l have read with a great deal ofinterest the correspondence in yourcolumns regarding the programmesbroadcast from 3YA and the orchestraone hears from that studio. I agreewith all that has been said and can sayfrom my own experience that as thestudio orchestra is announced so weshut off and tune in elsewhere. Thjs isthe routine of many of my friends, sothey tell me,

Last night was a change, and I hastento say that if 3YA will give us orches-tral music such as we had last even-ing then I am sure there will be lessdiscontent among listeners. What Iliked about the music was the differenttone as compared with the studioorchestra. Why is this? . I suppose theconductor has different instruments.Anyhow, the whole effect was splendid.We just lay back and enjoyed "Love'sOld Sweet Song" and wondered whythe powers that be did not give usmore of this type of music, somethingthat we knew and could appreciate.Then, again, there was not the same-ness in the playing. There seemedmore "body," if one might call it such,while there was certainly not themonotonous rendering of the piecesplayed.

I hope we have more of this typeof music and less of the relaying evilthan we have had in the past.—Yours,etc.,

AN OPTIMISTIC REPORT.TO THE EDITOB OT THE PBESS

Sir,—l notice that Sir Henry Better-ton says things are not so bad in Eng-land; the unemployment situation isimproving. Half an hour'spent goingthrough the newspaper files of thelast three or four years will showthat this sort of statement has ap-peared with a consistent regularity inthe past; lately, however, the centreof economic recovery appears to havebeen on a world tour.

The impossibility of any countrybeing able to meet its banker's costs,and at the same time remain in pos-session of any considerable quantityof claims on the real wealth they haveproduced, is not likely to be discussedat the London conference. My latestcopy of the "Manchester Guardian,'April 14, gives an account of slum-clearance activities at Stockton-on-Tees over the last five years. Re-viewing these activities for press pro-paganda purposes, Sir Henry Better-ton would probably say somethinglike this: "The clearance of slum areasin England is proceeding rapidly, andthe housing conditions of many for-mer slum-dwellers have improved outof all recognition. Despite economicdifficulties England is forging aheadand the prospects are distinctlybrighter."

My city friends, always delightfullyI nractical, would tell me next morn-ing that conditions are improving inEngland, and in fact we are practi-cally round the corner.

But the "Manchester Guardian" re-port, bated on the statements of Dr.McGonigle, medical officer of health,brings in the question of cost—bank-ers' cost. Dr. McGonigle states thatthe increase in the death rate in thefamilies living in the new quartersas compared with those still in slumareas is 18.4 per cent. The reportstates that this disturbing state ofaffairs is directly due to the increasein rent from 4s 8d to 9s. which hasleft the people without enough moneyto buy a sufficient" quantity of nour-ishing food. Funny, is it not?

Now the point is that directly or in-directly these new quarters werebuilt out of money newly-created bythe banks. The procedure is quitesimple, and consists of the bankerwriting an order against the produc-ing ability of the whole community.Now this would be all right but forthe fact that the banks insist on re-payment. Their only contribution vothe increase of the nation's real as-sets consisted of writing up a bookentry. A new set of costs were gen-erated when the banks issued thisnew money and the payment of thesecosts has raised the death rate by18.4 per cent. The Stockton-on-Teesexperiment provides a lesson in real-ism that could, I think, be studiedto advantage by any economic confer-ence.

The point I wish to make is thatit is sheer nonsense to talk of thingsbeing better because some zinc shareshave gone up in price, or somethingof that sort. The only real criterionof whether things are better or not isthe rate at which consumable goodsare going into the people's homes. Itwill, of course, take a professionaleconomist to explain how the flow ofgoods into consumption is to be in-creased by the raising of their pricelevel, but I think that the Stockton-on-Tees experiment shows that it isthe rate of flow of goods into con-sumption that is the vital question,as there can scarcely be anythingmore vital or fundamental than lifeor death.—Yours, etc.,

THE METHODS OF SEALHUNTERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF TUB MESS.Sir,—ln reference to Mr N. M. Bell's

letter in this morning's issue, there isa reference to seals shedding tears inSchmarda's Andeutungen aus demSeelenleben der Thiere, p. 76. Hesays:

Pain is expressed in the featuresof animals more frequently thanjoy; and some even shed tears,fateller and Peron saw a woundedfemale seal shedding tears copiouslywhen roughly handled, and the fe-male of the elephant seal behavessimilarly from the brutalities of thehunters or of her own male partner.The sea-bear (I presume this meansthe polar bear) does the same whenrobbed of her cubs.Schmarda quotes Humboldt andother naturalists for instances of thesame phenomenon in other species.The cruelties of the fur trade, whichincludes seal-hunting, are exposed by

HARRISON STREET.

BURGESSES' REQUEST TOTRAMWAY BOARD.

A letter from the St. Albans Burg-esses' Association asking that Harri-son street should be put in order andlighted was considered by the Christ-church Tramway Board yesterday. IThe street is controlled by the board.

The general manager (Mr FrankThompson) explained that in 1921 theboard required a place to park trail-ers, and he discovered this almostunused street, securing it for theboard, which had put one or two lightsthere, and had metalled a portion ofthe road where the tram tracks were.

"All we are bound to do," said MrThompson, "is to give residents of thestreet a right-of-way."

Mr E. H. Andrews said this matterhad frequently been brought beforethe Works Committee of the CityCouncil; but the fact was that theroad had never been dedicated to theCity Council, which naturally did lotfeel justified in spending money there.

"I don't know whether the boardmight consider dedicating the readto the City Council," said Mr Andrews."Of course, even if it did, the councilmight not accept it—that is entirely forthe council to decide. However, thereare several houses fronting the roadnow, and the occupiers are entitled toreasonable access and reasonablestorm-water drainage."

Mr Walter suggested that the letterbe referred to the Works and TrafficCommittee, which could make an in-spection of the road before its meet-ing next Monday.

Mr Walter's suggestion was adopted.Mr Thompson passed round to mem-

bers of the board a photograph show-| ing the rough and untidy condition of

I the street in 1921, before the boardi took, it over.

LONDON, April 13.Mr C. Bavin, the general secretary

of the Migration Department of theYoung Men's Christian Association,has prepared a report on the firstsix months' working of the "Britishboys for British farms scheme,"which was launched last September.

A great deal of knowledge hasbeen gained, he says, about the at-titude of the average unemployedurban youth towards taking up workin agriculture, his suitability for it,and the disposition of the averagefarmer to give the town lad whohas been trained for the work achance to prove himself.

All the boys are given a prelimin-ary testing in a hostel. It is onlywhen they have been reconditionedin health and put to work underclose supervision that their capa-city can be judged. During thisperiod also the boys are able to ob-tain a clear idea of what lies'aheadof them, and to show whether theyare likely to settle down to an agri-cultural career.

UNDUE INFLUENCEALLEGED.

APPLICATION FOR PROBATEOPPOSED.

IPHESS ASSOCIATION TELBOP.AU.)

WELLINGTON, May 22.The granting of probate of the willand codicils of George Glover, for-

merly of Wellington, was opposed be-fore the Chief Justice (the Ht. Hon.I Sir Michael Myers), in the SupremeCourt by Grace Adeline Dunn, widow,and Jane Helen Cowles, marriedwoman on the ground that the testa-tor lacked testamentary capacity, anathat he was subjected to undue in-fluence.

The testator left surviving him ninechildi en; three daughters and six sons,US^ ers™

being Mrs Galbraith'applicant), Mrs Dunn, and Mrshj, • Respondents). The testatord ed in Wellington on July 26. 1932.Ihe records showed that in his life-time he made a number of differentwills.

It was set out in the statements ofo-

res P.9ndentß that from December,1?2» until October, 1928, the testatotlived alone with Mrs Galbraith, andi«.>£'as ■?,,legeJ1 that execution of theuzb will and codicils was procured

braitl"" influence of Mrs Gal-

Replying to his Honour, Mr Wirensolicitor for the applicant, agreed thatthe case resolved itself into a disputeDetween three sisters„«Ft'r e

u.ce WF called with a view toestablishing that the will and codicilswere properly executed, that the tes-tator was of sound mind, memory, andunderstanding, and that he was notcoerced by Mrs Galbraith into sign-

ing the will. H

The hearing will probably lastseveral days.

TRUE BILL RETURNED.

CHARGE AGAINSTCHIROPRACTOR.

(PftB.HS JSSOCIATIO.V TZLEORAU '

NAPIER, May 22."People can be made to believe that

they are getting better, and this helpsthem to get better," said Mr JusticeOstler in the Supreme Court thismorning in his charge to the GrandJury when referring to a charge ofmanslaughter against a chiropractor,John Robert Victor Hart. "It may bethat this is the cause of the success ofchiropractic," he said. "I should bevery surprised to hear that by makingadjustments on the spinal column anychiropractor can effect a cure of suchdiseases as typhoid and pneumonia."

A true bill was returned.

THE CAUSE OF DISEASE.

(By J. A. Scott, M.A.)Chiropractic teaches that disease isdue orimarily and originally, to acondition m the individual, ratherthan—as the world had hitherto beentaught—to external influence. Theactual existence of this condition isrecognised by all schools of medicineunder the name of "predisposition" orlack of resistance." But while thiscondition of predisposition has beenrecognised by medical practitionersfor many years there is nothing inthe ordinary professional literature

that will tell you what this conditionreally IS . it is the essential merit ofChiropractic that it is able to defineprecisely in what the condition, con-sists and able also to show how to re-move the predisposition.

But first of all let us prove by afew simple illustrations the actual factof this individual susceptibility orlack of resistance to disease. Eventhe man in the street knows to-daythat thousands of persons continuallyhihalc the germs of tuberculosis, yetonly a smalt percentage contract thedisease. Scientists have explained thisby showing that the germs only affectthose who have weak lungs or a lackof resistance. Again, half a dozenpeople partake of an indigestible meal.One of them is none the worse for it;a second suffers from indigestion; athird has a fit; a fourth gets an at-tack of gout; a fifth has an attack of

asthma; while the sixth has diarrhoea.Here the Exciting factor, the indigest-ible meal, is the same in all, but theresults are widely different, and thisIs due to the fact that the location ofthe individual weakness or want ofresistance is different in each case.Again: Pneumonia is commonlyspoken of as being caused by a germwhich has been labelled "the pneumo-coccus of Fraenkel." But the pneUmo-coccus is obviously not the primaryor direct cause of the disease, for ifit were, nearly every individual would' catch" this disease, since we are con-stantly brought into contact with thisorganism. There must, therefore, besomething which prevents certain in-dividuals from bc*ng affected withpneumonia, and which makes it pos-sible for others to contract the dis-ease. This something is the resistanceof the former and the want of suchresistance in the latter. In all thecases above cited the real, fundamen-tal, bedrock cause of the disease wasnot the germ or the food that waseaten, but the pre-existing weaknesswhich was such as to make it pos-sible for the secondary factors to ob-tain a foothold and make their de-structive influence operate.

Lack of resistance, then, is the prim-i ary factor in the production of dis-ease, since in the face of a perfectresistance the action of the secondaryfactors—the germ, occasional wrongfood, etc.—becomes impossible. Re-sistance thus becomes but anotherterm for perfect functioning of theorgans of the body and a perfectlyharmonious whole. This perfectstate of the body economy dependsupon a free and uninterrupted flowof that life current or inherent vitalforce which it is the function of thenervous system to distribute to everycell and tissue of our being. Any-thing, therefore, which interferes withthe conductivity of the nerves—thatis with their power to transmitthis vital energy—must be consid-ered as being the primary cause ofdisease.

What is the definite ascertained fac-tor which brings about this interfer-ence? The Chiropractic answer is: Asubluxation or slight displacement ormisnlignment of one or more of thevertebra* (small bones) of the spine—-a condition that so easily arises in thegames and falls of childhood and inthe various activities incident toeveryday lite. The effect of this dis-placement is to cause the hard boneto press on the soft nerve tissue asthe latter passes out from the spine,and this pressure obstructs or shutsoff the flow of life force to the par-ticular organ involved. Thus is pro-duced that "predisposition" or "lackof resistance" which all schools ofhealing admit but which Chiropracticalone explains. When the chiroprac-tor corrects the subluxation, the pres-sure is removed; the conductive powerof the nerve is restored; and healthquite naturally follows. —1

The subsidyof £10,500, which has now beengranted, is subject to the remaining£360 being made up by the internaladjustment of wages and other items,and on the understanding that any re-venue in excess of the £21,005 bud-geted for, with the exception of re-quirements for unforeseen expenditure,will be applied to the reduction ofthe subsidy of £10,500.

The Engineer-in-Chief to the Pub-lic Works Department will decide theexpenditure classed as extraordinary.

The Akaroa, with passengers andcargo, left Southampton on Fridayafternoon for Wellington and Auck-land. She is due at Wellington aboutJune 22.

"I believe that before long theworking day will be of only sixhours, and possibly even of onlyfour," declared Mr W. J. Hunter,addressing a rally of unemployedboys at the Young Men's ChristianAssociation last evening: He re-called the introduction of the eight-hour day and the increase in leisurethus given the workers. It wasvery important, he said, to learnhow profitably to use these leisurehours, and he urged every boy totake an interest in one or two oreven three hobbies. "Learn all youcan about them; those things aregoing to fiJI your leisure hourswhen you are older," advised MrHunter.

CAUSED BY BRACKEN.~~>OISON'ING of horsea by common bracken

is (lie subject of an article in the•'Veterinary Journal" by Messrs S. Hadwenand E. A. Bruce, of the Veterinary ResearchLaboratory, Agassy, British Columbia. Thearticle describes experiments which haveteen carried out by the laboratory to deter-mine the cause of a form of staggers preva-lent on the l'aeific slope for many years. Itjg characterised by uncertain gait, loss ofequilibrium, general unthriftiness, and un-impaired appetite. The greatest number ofcases occur during tho winter months, thedisease being most common when tho weatheris severe and protracted. Treatment, if in-stituted early, is usually successful, hutneglected animals generally die. On all theiarmg whore cases occurred bracken (Tterisaquilma L.) was found in the hay.

The experiments indicate the cause of•'staggers" in horses to he due to the in-gestion of dried bracken over u certainperiod and under certain conditions. Of thelour animals that developed the disease dur-ing tho course of the experiment, one showedsymptoms on tho twenty-fourth day. and wisdying on tho thirty-fifth day, when it wasput out of its misery. Tho second horse didnot show marked symptoms until the thirtyeighth day, and was dying on tho forty-slith day, when it was killed. The lengthof time it took the second horse to developsymptoms, as compared with tho first, wasso doubt due to the fact that for about 12days properly dried bracken could not beprocured, and also to the mistaken kindnessof a careless attendant who was caught giv-ing the animal green clover. The third horse,■Which had nerved as control in the two pre-«oding experiments, was fed on hay exactlyas received from a local source.

The hay fed to the horses carried 29 pereent. bracken, and caused the death of theanimal in 36 days. The fourth experimentwas Bomowhat different from the others: thisanimal was fed 4.4 pounds of fern per dayfor three weeks, and was then reduced to2*4 pounds per day for a further three■weeks, with no apparent ill resulting. Uponincreasing the daily feed of fern to ti.9pounds, definite symptoms of. the disease■were noticed on the twenty-ninth day (afterthis increase), nnd the animal was killed onthe thirty-fifth day. Judging from the fore-going, it can be assumed that an additionto the daily diet of about six pounds ofdried bracken will kill a horse in about onemonth.

(Extraqt from "Lender.")APPLYING LIME TO LAND.

Dear Wimmora,—He enquiry in the"Leader," instant, by "D.U.U." cou-eeming lime. Natural deposits of lime, withmany impurities, exist as carbonate of l'-nm,which is a compound of the elements cal-cium, oxygen, and carbon. It is acted uponreadily by strong acids, which liberate someof the oxygen and carbon, but reacts veryslowly to tho weak organic acids present inthe soil. Now the function of lime in agri-culture is, amongst others, to neutraliseacids and to act as a base, so that someof the plant'food may be readily availableto the plant. Also lime has a mechanicalaction upon the soil, and improves thephysical condition. Because carbonate oflime, or limestone, whether ground or not,is practically inert and cannot exercise anyof its functions until changed in form, burntlime is recommended. 'When limestone isvery finely ground it is very slowly actedupon, and is more satisfactory upon sourlands than upon well-cultivated or grassedpaddocks. There are many conditions whicharc not fully understood, and "D.G.R." isadvised not to assume that ground lime-stone or carbonate of lime is useless, butthat, by reason of its composition, any re-turn must be slow and loss effective, even•t a greatly reduced price, than burnt lime.

Burnt limestone or quicklime is an impureform of calcium oxide, rail it lime oxideif you wish, since an understanding is moreimportant than technical terms, and is theproduct of carbonate of lime after the carbonand some of 'the oxygen have been drivenout by heat. In the lime kiln the heatlibera tos the carbon dioxide and leaves thelime oxide, which is used for many pur-poses, particularly in the building trades.This is the builders' lime. Lime in thisform is free to combine readily with acidsin the soil and reduce the acidity; it alsoreacts upon clay soils, and whilst improvingthu physical condition liberates potash forplant food. Also, it is present in a formto .combine with other plant foods, particu-larly the phosphoric acid (so-called) ofBuperphospha'te, and holds this in a formreadily available for plant use.

Cslrhonato Of lime' is unburnt limestone,oxide -of lime or quieklime is burnt lime-stone, and whilst the former gives results■very slowly the latter is more rapid andeffective. After burning 100 parts of car-Donate of lime will give, approximately, de-pending: upon the impurities, 56 parts ofquicklime.—Youis, etc.,

WOOL STORED FOR FORTY YEARS.

THE QUESTION OF DEPRECIATION.(To the Editor, the "Wool Record and

Textile World.")Sir, —The effect ou wool of long storage

is a matter of some importance to-day, asin certain districts many farmers are holdingfairly considerable quantities. The majoritydo sot realise that a gradual depreciation istaking place and, in consequence, are dieappointed when they are offered lower pricesSot older wool than those prevailing lor cor-respondinc new clip qualities.

Tho question has often been a,sked: Howlong will wool retain its virtue in either thi«grbasy or scoured state? According to arecent issue of "Dalgety's Review," publisaed in Australia, Mr E.. M. Pearce gavethe following, particulars of what may beregarded as an historic ease:—

"During the American Civil War mygrandfather, Henry Pearce, of Thame, Ox-fordshire,- trading with his brother Charles,tindar. the name of. H. and C. Pearce, as wool•taplera, offered 2s 6d per lb for brook-v.ashed crossbred to a farmer named Roy-Bolds, farm house was an old abbeyat Notley. Buckinghamshire. The farmerrefused the offer, and each year refused toaell at anything under, the original offer of2s 6d per lb. The wool was stored in thechapel o* the old abbey, which was used as«,barn, and as years went on the wool■was always, thrown on the top, until duringthe Boer War. when the former died, leavinga. very considerable estate. The sole bene-fieiary was one son who went to the SouthAfrican War.; My cousin, Fred. Pearce, stilltrading under the old name of 11. and C.Pearce, Bradford, bought the clips of 40years, and paid about 15 per cent, less thanthe. current price. When the wool waspacked up it was found to be affected roundthe edges and also on the bottom of the•tack of the• large heap by moth and rats,and a .little' dampness. The great bulk ofthe wool, although it had not been packedtip, was pressed by time to the equivalentalmost of wool which. baß been pressed, andexcept for the fact that it had gone off incolour, a little, it was quite good and sound."

In.the first place I feel that 1 must passBoine criticism on the report made by mycousin—Mr-E. M. Pearce—on the large oldclip referred to, because it would seem tosuggest that comparatively little damage waxsustained' through the storage for bo longa time. > The recqrds 1, so far us they existed,■which the' beneficiary" ta the estate (MrHenry Reynolds) afterwards carefully exam-ined, showed that the annual clip was 450fleeces of washed Oxford Down wool.

The average weight pep fleece can be takenas 61b, or 27001b per annum, and as the*lip had been.' stored for 39 years the total■weight of wool shorn throughout the wholeperiod wag roughly 105,0001b.

When Jt was packed up, the weight of:HU that was found to be of value was42,0001b, and of this not more than halfcould be. described as sound wool. I mightmention here, although irrelevant of thequestion of storage, that Mr Henry Reynoldsmade out a careful statement of the finan-cial result, and on the presumption that eachyear's clip had been sold when shorn, atits market value, the loss sustained amountedto £IO,OOO. I think you will agree thatthese facts put an entirely different com-plexion on the matter, and prove conclusivelythat the storage, for long periods, even oftrool that has . been, well washed, is mostdamaging to 'the useful value of it.

But there is another and most importantpoint which ray cousin appears to liavo lostlight o£ This old clip was all well washed,whereas the present-day holdings are all inthe grease. I claim to be no expert ofthe effect of grease upon wool, hut thereis no doubt that when on the sheep's backit functions as a protector of the fibre.

Immediately shearing has taken plnoe, Iam inclined ta think that the sooner thesrease in removed the more perfect the stapleis likely to be. Many of your readers,■with more technical knowledge, can doubt-less answer this. It is, however, safe to uuythat no long time elapses before the greasecommence* to effect discolouration. Tt isalmost'impossible to fix any, time limit tothe. commencement of such action, but I domake the assertion, after most careful ob-Berirations for several years, that it is very

• shortly ; after shearing. For a few monthsit is almost, if not entirely, imperceptible,but then <hecpmes a very apparent fact.

Different climatic conditions and varyingseasonß unquestionably retard or expeditethe action, and while mentioning this Ishould like to «ay that, so far as English•wool is concerned, discolouration of the 1032clip has bee». pjore rapid and pronouncedthan any I can recall. ' Furthermore* theaction seems t& commence to take placequicker in low grade wools than in finerqualities. The closer the serration of thestaple the longer the wool can be kept with-out much damage from discolouration.

Well-w»Bhfd wool will retain its colour
