Mundle for the many kindnesses abolition of all privileges involving public expense- fact that will eventually have to be accepted even by the Federal Government when it attacks the problem of administrative costs, despite existing legislative sanctions. One of the major diffculties with which the Treasurers of the States are confronted is that considerable numbers of Government employees are subject to the juristhe Federal Arbitration Court, and are to that extent removed from control in respect of wages and State conditions.

In face protests from the Premiers, two of them Labour Premiers, Mr. Scullin was adamant in his refusal to devise a remedy, and great instrumentalitles such as the railways must therefore continue to struggle under a burden which becomes more crushing every day. Was not this merely a gesture of adherence to a policy which his own followers have already accused him of abandoning? His attitude will but add to unemployment and throw fuel on the fire of resentment which may finally overthrow his Ministry. Meanwhile, the assurance of the Acting Prime Minister (Mr. Fenton) and the Acting Treasurer (Mr.

Lyons) that the Federal Government will stand by the decisions of the Melbourne conference will be supported by all Opposition members of the House of Representatives. What the public would wish to know, however, is when those decisions as they affect Commonwealth finance are to be put into effect. Should the Sales Tax receipts be less than the estimate -and that is almost certain-there will be no further excuse for delaying a special Parliamentary session for the purpose of making essential budgetary adjustments in terms of the solemn promise that was made to balance the Federal accounts. A PRESS CENSORSHIP. The Acting Prime Minister, Mr.

Fenton, is the latest-but will not be the last- a long succession of those who would fain lay a strict censorship on the Press. Some who have thus desired have been able to enforce their wish for example, and in Russia both old Czardom and new Soviet. Mr. Fenton, however, stands in no likelihood of ever passing from conception to performance. Nevertheless, undeterred by obvious frustration, he is or, three short days ago, he was demanding a censorship of the most extreme kind.

Censorship of opinion does not content him; there should be also a censorship of fact. What Is known all over Australia should, he holds, concealed from the world. A committee claiming to possess both (which it political still and hopes to industrial exercise authority mild manner) passed a resolution bearing on a question which at present is uppermost the mind of the publie, The particular significance of that resolution is not, for the moment, the real issue at stake. We agree with Mr. Fenton that it had better never have been passed, that the suicidal folly of its sponsors and supporters is selfevident.

But beyond that we cannot follow him. It is useless to suggest, whether for the purpose of sparing from worry convalescent Prime Minister, or for the wider aim of fostering the national prestige, that 30 open and notorious an event should be kept hidden through an enforced silence. Several reasons against such a course might be given. But one will suffice-it cannot be done. There is nothing so foolish and futile as an unenforceable law.

Let the Press, in a case of importance such as this be muzzled, and what will at once take the place of Press statements? Inevitably -and is a thing which invariably outstrips the worst indiscretions of print. Further, with the mails still running, the record of public doings, instead of being left In the hands of usually responsible journalists, would become, though somewhat belatedly, the theme of private correspondence uncheckedunless, that is, the censor be given powers to open letters more stringently than in war time. Mr. Fenton, speaking in his haste, can clearly have had no thought of where proposals would lead. Nor are his phrases much clearer than his thought.

Even if we agree that it is deplorable that "misleading and defamatory reports" of Australian affairs should be cabled to Great Britain, or elsewhere, what authority is to decide what constitutes a report of that character? This is the obstacle which always stands in the way of proceedings which depend entirely on opinion and interpretation. Certainly we have seen of late strange powers vested in Mr. Fenton's own Customs Department relating to censorship in the sphere of literature. And Mr. Fenton himself has been a consenting party to the arbitrary administration of a prohibitive tariff, in the construction of which the existence of the Tariff Board has been ignored.

Two such experiences as the above, coming so near to his hand, may well have left him with the feeling that his department might aim at wider dictatorial powers. Even SO, his proposed plan Is a strange one. He is reported as having said that if the Commonwealth Government's existing legislative powers were not adequate to impose a strict censorship, "it might be possible "for the Federal Ministry to enter into "an arrangement with the wireless and "cable companies to exercise the powers vested in them." That appears to mean that the wireless and cable companies would do what the Federal Government by law cannot do and, moreover, do it at the Federal Government's dictation. Not a very satisfactory system at any time, and one which obviously would lend itself to party exploitation. For the thing must be looked at in its broadest phases.

It cannot be expected to be worked to-day by one party and not to-morrow by another. The strong probability begins to assert itself that what was offered as news under such a system would be considerably less reliable than that which is circulated to-day with reasonable room for assertion and rebuttal. The London "Daily Telegraph" has noted this point, declaring that "such a would be immeasurably more "serious to Australian credit than a "statement of the facts." That would hold good under any circumstances. As things are, both the London Press and the London money market have been less perturbed than Mr. Fenton by learning what has actually occurred.

Applications for Commonwealth Treasury bills exceeded double the amount sought. CARNEGIE LECTURES. Professor Duniway Arrives. PROBLEMS OF AMERICA. Typically English in appearance and accent, Professor Clyde A.

Duniway, who was appointed visiung Carnegie Professor by the Senate of the University of Sydney, arrived by the Makura on Saturday from America, where he occupies the Chair of History at Carleton College, Minnesota. "This is my first glimpse of Australia," he said, "and I don't suppose I know much more about your country and people than the average Australian knows about mine. Still, I hope to learn much during my stay. America, you know, has a very kindly feeling for this Commonwealth, although we don't read very much about you in the newspapers about as much," he smiled, "as you read about us." Professor Duniway naturally considers the teaching of history to be of paramount interest. "In the United States," he explained, "we regard the subject as second in importance to English, and I may say that a great deal is taught about the British Empire, which, of course, figures prominently in modern history.

Personally, I would like to see an American professor of history appointed here so that American history might be more fully and sympathetically interpreted. So seriously is the subject treated in the schools and colleges of the United States that the Yale University produces special historical Alms depicting notable incidents in great detail. These are made available at low cost and are extensively used in the instruction of children. Speaking generally, the methods of education in America are following the line of constant experimentation. We have so many States, you see, and education is controlled by the State and municipal authorities." Commenting on the economic condition of the United States, Professor Dundway confessed that the American people were facing tremendous problems, and were now inclined to be "down in the dumps." Not only was the country affected by the world-wide trade depression, but the crashes on Wall-street had grave repercussions in many walks of life.

"Many people who had money," he and said, "now find themselves without resources, there is widespread unemployment. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to state that there are 4.000,000 people in search of work throughout the country. It is recognised, however, that the depression is only temporary, and we are not worrying too much." Professor Duniway was born in 1866, and graduated at the Cornell University and Harvard. He secured his doctorship of law at the University of Colorado in 1914. After accepting various teaching appointments and holding the office of president in three American universities, he was appointed to the Chair of History In Carleton College, Minnesota- -a post which he has held since 1924.

He is the author of several learned publications and a life of Daniel Webster, and is a noted contributor to a number of American and international reviews. He will remain In Sydney until the middle of November. and during his sojourn will deliver three public lectures and He a series of lectures to university classes. will also have discussions with university societies, the League of Nations Union, the Institute of Pacific Relations. and other organisations.

At the conclusion for of Japan, his where Australian visit he will sall arrangements have been made for him to give additional lectures. VICTORIAN REVENUE. Heavy Decrease for Railways. MELBOURNE, Sunday. State revenue returns for August showed continued evidence of serious depression.

B. COPLAND.) IV. Like export production, the protected industries come into competition with oversea producers. They must meet the competition by selling at a price below the cost of importing similar goods from oversea competitors. But there are two vital differences between the export and the protected industries.

In the first place, exported goods must meet petition in the oversea market after paying the cost of transport from Australia. The protected industries for the most part sell their products in the domestic market, and have the advantage that oversea competitors inust meet the cost of transport to Australia. In the second place, a substantial duty placed upon the goods of oversea competitors, and the protected industries in Australia are able to charge higher prices by reason of the protection afforaed them through the duties on imports and the cost of transport. Export industries for the most part get no tariff assistance, though they receive other assistance, and the cost of oversea transport depresses the Australian price of their goods. There is thus a natural (transport) as well as an artificial (tariff) disparity between the conditions under which export and protected industries are developed.

EXCESS COSTS OF PROTECTION. Taking the estimates made by the Tariff Committee for 1926-27, the amount of protected production was as industries 40m. Secondary industries 110m. 150m. The primary industries include butter, sugar, and dried fruit.

Each of these has a special Australian price by which they defray the losses on exports. The tarlit makes possible this special price, and it is a burden upon Australian consumers. Moreover, it enters into the cost of living, and, under Australian practice, raises money wages. This, in turn, adds to the cost of production in all industries, including the protected industries themselves. In the secondary industries that receive protection there is also a special Australian price.

It varies according to the efliciency of the industry, and was estimated by about the Tariff Committee above to be the on price the of average the 24 per cent. same goods imported duty free. This also is an added burden upon Australian consumers, and increases the costs of production of industry generally. The total excess costs for all protected industries in 1926-27 was estimated at 36,000,000, or 24 per cent. of the total income derived from these industries.

This was the approximate cost of the tariff to Australia for that year. THE TARIFF AND PRICES. We have seen that the export industries have suffered severe loss of income through the fall in oversea prices. How are the protected industries affected by the fall in world prices? Every decline in prices abroad will increase the severity of the competition of oversea goods with protected goods in the Australian market. But the fall in prices of secondary products overseas has been much less than the fall in prices of such goods as wool and wheat.

Hence, protected production in Australia has not been so adversely affected by the general decline in the price level. The pronounced rise in the tariff since November has, morcover, given protected production an additional shelter against oversea competition. Had higher import duties not been imposed, protected production would have felt more of the shock of the world depression in prices. The tariff has given it a privileged position, and has thus helped to sustain a high Australian such price level, because sheltered industries, as transport, are able, within wide limits, to to keep up their prices, and they endeavour of pass on the portion of the excess costs protected goods that fall upon them. Hence high costs in the protected industries help industries, to sustain high prices in the sheltered thus to inflate the general price level.

and WHY COSTS MUST FALL. But neither protected nor sheltered industries can escape the losses of economic deforces pression. a The contraction decline of in demand for all the national income and a fall in imports must not be of goods, regarded for as protected goods in Australia. Such automatically leaving a larger market assumption is implicit in the views of those an who advocate a prohibitive tariff as a recent means of promoting Australian industry. In months we have raised the tariff and imports also declined heavily.

There has also have been a large and growing volume of unemployment in the protected industries. The cause of this unemployment is to be found in high costs of production and the decline in spending power. industries as a whole are inefficlent, or that It is not suggested that protected costs in these industries are not lower than ago. As with export inthey dustries were every a year effort is being made to get That they are too high may be costs down. shown at by February, the 1930, collected by the Royal following comparison of as Commission on the coalmining a ton.

With such a disparity in prices of Australian and oversea goods it is impossible for local industries to expand sufficiently to absorb the unemployed workers, and thus to make by up the the deficiency in national income caused fall in export prices.

Prices cannot be such sufficiently a fall is reduced inevitable by a under existing wages, condifall in though tions. The point may be illustrated by reference to the wages paid in manufacturing industries in Australia. For the year 1927-28 total wages amounted to 91,365.000, the value added (net income from these industries) was 167.403,000, and the total value of output including the raw materials and fuel used was £417,000,000. A fall in wages cannot therefore bring all the relief required. There must also be an increase in general efficiency.

For this purpose the economies of large scale production are necessary. There has been some tendency to increase the size of the factory in recent years. Thus the in factories with more than 100 hands rose proportion of total factory workers employed from 35.7 per cent. in 1907 to 43.7 per cent. in 1926-27.

A further development in this direction is an essential condition of a fall in costs in all secondary production, and this fall must take place before Australia can solve her unemployment problem. PERSONAL. VICE-REGAL.

The Orama is now in the tropics and should cross the equator on Monday, FROM THE PULPIT. AUSTRALIA'S PLIGHTED WORD.

"We need to be our guard against lowering of the standards of truth In our day," said Dean Talbot in a sermon at St. Andrew's Cathedral, yesterday. "Many say that there is not the same regard for the honest and fair thing in business to-day as there was formerly. So far as this is a fact it is to be deplored. Certainly there does not appear to be the same regard for agreements and compacts entered into in the industrial sphere.

And now a certain section of the community is advocating the repudiation of war debts. Just after the war there was a suggestion that all the nations of the Allies should mutually cancel their war debts. Doubtless there was something to be said for what was then proposed. "For Australia to repudiate her war debts would be for her to proclaim to the world that her word was not her bond," continued the Dean. "It would be for her to break definitely with her British traditions.

of course, it could be pointed out that even from a material and selfish point of view, the policy of repudiation would be suicidal for Australia herself, for she would lose the respect of all self-respecting nations, and her credit would be valueless. Even as the wisest and most responsible of our public men have condemned repudiation in no uncertain voice, SO the great mass of the people, I believe, would never endorse 1t. In the name of what 1s true and just the people for 100 years have pressed for and secured economic and industrial reforms, and they would not now lightly trample the aegis under which they have SO far progressed, in the dust. "But," added the Dean, "from the Christian pulpit I would look at the question from a higher point of view. The Christian religion teaches us to speak and act truly, to abide by our plighted word." WAR DEBT REPUDIATION.

Ashfield Presbyterian Church Preaching at yesterday morning, from the text, "Thou hast stricken them that have not grieved." the Rev. R. J. H. McGowan referred to the suggested repudiation of war debts.

He said that the difficulties of these days constituted call to humiliation and prayer. The most sensational event of the past week had been the repudiation of war debts Sydney and Newcastle committees. To every Christian and decent-minded man, the mere suggestion of it had been a great shock. "It a most infamous proposal," he added. "It seems as if people who make suggestions like these should be treated in a similar way those who suggest treason.

They should made amenable to law." The Divine command. "Thou shalt not steal" was as binding to-day as ever it had been, he continued. moral imperative outweighed all other considerations. How different was the attitude Jesus towards law from that of some to-day! At the beginning of His ministry He said: "It becometh us to fulfil all righteousness." In his closing days, when asked about giving tribute to Caesar, He said: "Render Caesar the things that are Caesar's." WORK AMONG INDIA'S PARIAHS. Preaching in the Croydon Congregational Church yesterday morning, the Rev.

A. W. Brough, who has worked among the pariahs India for the past 36 years, said they numbered 56,000,000, or one-sixth of the population of India. They had had denied to them the past such things as education, the right of ownership of property, and the right draw water from public wells. In some parts they were even denied the right walk along the highway while a high-caste man was walking there.

They were always the verge of starvation, and never had more than one meal-and that a poor oneday. They were so weakened in body that when an influenza epidemic attacked them. 6.000.000 died in three months. Nobody could would help them--their only hope was Christianity. Ninety per cent.

of India's population was settled on the soil. in striking contrast to that of New South Wales and Victoria, where half the population was settled the capital cities. The preacher paid a warm tribute to the work done by the Croydon Church in supporting a catechist in India. during the past 30 years, and said that had not been for the support received from Australasia, the great work that had been don: could not have been attempted. THE LOWERED STANDARD.

In St. Stephen's Church yesterday morning the Rev. Hugh Paton took for his text words of the Risen Saviour to the Church Ephesus: "Thou hast left thy first love." Thi. phrase, he said. put into the language to-day, meant that there had been lowering of standards and a loss of idealism.

This sort of calamity was not confined religion. It might be found amply illustrated the realm of politics. A man entered public life possessed by the loftlest of motives. In time these frequently gave way to the base and unworthy. It frequently was seen commerce.

Strict Integrity oftentimes replaced by shady and doubtful policy. The man of high honour became the cunning schemer. There was a current proverb that almost suggested failure of this sort: it was: "New brooms sweep clean." There something cynical about that; it implied that, given time, the earnest, whole-hearted soul would drop to the level of his fellows. "Ideals need not wear out like brooms." continued the preacher. "Devotion and high honour may be maintained to the end.

The Psalmist could say: 'I have stuck unto Thy The ringing declaration of Paul with us. Did he not say: 'I have finished my course; I have kept the GIFTS TO THE LIVING. Mr. C. Casperson, preacher for the Church of Christ, Epping, speaking at the City Temple yesterday morning, told the story of great gifts made to Jesus, one by Mary when she used a pot of precious material in nointing His feet; and the other, the brought after His crucifixion by Nicodemus, which was brought by night.

"The first gift," said Mr. Casperson," made to the living Jesus; the second gift made to the dead Lord. One was a timely gift of love; the other was made lovingly. but too late. To-day, too many gifts are made too late.

We too often waste our appreciations by holding back the precious perfumes and the flowers, until the day after death. The world would be better if Mary's method gave place to that of DUEL OF THE AGES. Preaching in the Pitt-street Congregational Church last night, Dr. Boreham declared there were three planes in the universe, cach had its distinctive atmosphere. The was the desert, with its atmospnere of tude; the second the temple, with its atmosphere of sanctity; and the third the world, with its atmosphere of strife.

Jewish history divided itself sharply into three sectionsthe experiences of the Israelites in the desert. in the land that was dominated and glorifled by the temple, and in their commerce with great outside world. Confronted by the temptations incidental to each of these stages their national career, the people succumbed and fell. The history of the Christian Church was divided into the same three phases, tested in that threefold crucible, the Church crumpled and collapsed. For grandeur of ception and splendour of expression, there was nothing in Milton or Dante to compare with the sublime narrative of the temptation of Christ, yet it was so simple that a child could grasp its meaning.

It revealed fact that the Son of God was tested by each of the three ordeals in which ordinary mortals were tried. He experienced temptations pertained to the solitudes, to the sanctities. and to the secularities of life; and, in three theatres of conflict, He triumphed. therefore presented to men the sublime spectacle of a sinless Saviour, a Saviour Who fectly understood human conditions human needs, and Who was able to save the uttermost all who came unto God by Him. REBUILDING THE CITY.

Rev. W. G. Hilliard, M.A., headmaster Trinity Grammar School, was the preacher St. Andrew's Cathedral last night.

For text he chose the 20th verse of the second chapter of Nehemiah, "The God of Heaven He will prosper us, therefore we, His servants. will arise and build." In 1914, said preacher, they engaged in a war that was end all wars. They strove to establish principle of righteousness, justice, and truth. and when hostilities were ended that seemed perfectly natural and possible. In those men forgot party and remembered only tralia and the Empire.

They were days stirring and gleaming ideals that followed carnage war should be no more. But Ideals faded. "This depression of to-day-to what is due?" he asked. "It 1s all because the community has been spending its substance riotous living -how not to become better much as to become richer. Like the son, we have been wasting the substance are now reduced to the husks: and we must follow the Prodigal and go to the Father.

After the war, instead of the great ideal set outselves, came the old idea of business reprisals and the shameful struggle for spoils. War to end war has left the seeds of a more terrible conflict In the future unless we root them out. The Temple has been taken by the enemy. We must rebuild on better foundations. Let us rebulld this City God." BRISBANE COUNCIL EXPENDITURE.

BRISBANE, Sunday. During the first seven months of this year a Brisbane City Council's expenditure on municipal works amounted to 814,180, the rate of spending being nearly 30,000 in excess of the estimate of for the year. LONDON TOPICS. An Unhappy Government. A NEW OLD MASTER.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) (By Air Mall from Perth.) Although realising that the demand of the Sydney Trades Hall's "inner group" for the repudiation of war debts is impolitic, and although it has watered down the demand for "a moratorium" on loan interest payments, the New South Wales A.L.P. has approved a campaign against the financial agreement recently made in Melbourne by the States and the Commonwealth. The Scullin Ministry is in a predicament for which it has only Itself to blame. Having fought a successful election on a definite promise to maintain existing wage and living standards, and established itself as a champion of the existing arbitration system, it has no reason to be surprised that an influential section of the rank and file is now insisting that the undertaking should be honoured to the letter. The sudden recognition by the Government of the true gravity of the financial crisis and its equally sudden determination to stand in line with the States in their fight to balance accounts have caused anger and confusion in the Labour movement.

There can be no doubt that the mass of the workers were misled by the political wing into believing that a Labour Administration would be able by Parliamentary action to preserve the established standards, economic considerations notwithstanding. Nevertheless, the agitation which the Sydney Trades Hall has set on foot 1s a menace not only to the Federal Ministry but to the whole country. The menace is sharpened by the fact that there exists already in the Federal Labour party 3 small and vociferous nucleus favourable to extreme measures. This faction was a thorn in the side of Mr. Scullin in the closing weeks of the Parliamentary session, and was kept in submission only by the rigorous application of party discipline.

It may now see an opportunity to win supporters in sufficient numbers either to enforce the "Instructions" of the New South Wales executive, or to bring about the destruction of the Government should it decide to stand firmly by the Melbourne agreement. The pity is that the economic position should be so little understood by those who are unwilling to appreciate its poignant lessons. Only on Saturday Mr. M. Curotta, a prominent member of the A.L.P., returned from a world tour impressed by the facts of the universal depression.

In Germany, Great Britain. and America he saw armies of unemployed and learned of falling prices and declining wages. The decision of the Commonwealth and State Governments, Irrespective of their political colour, to balance their budgets regardless of consequences was made in the right spirit. But Commonwealth Ministers, who previously fought against reduction of costs of government, and of working costs generally in Australla, have recognised now their earlier error without adequately revealing the new light to their own party. So far as New South Wales 1s concerned further economies in the railways, probably involving retrenchment and the abandonment of staff privileges, will be unavoidable.

Tramway employees have already been asked to sacrifice their holiday concessions, and similar call may be made to railwaymen who enjoy free travelling facilities worth very large annual sum to the State. The exigencies of the moment demand the temporary LONDON, July To-morrow the British Government--the second Labour Administration--completes 113 first Parliamentary session. When it took offlce June of last year there was widespread belief that it would not last as long as even its short -lived predecessor of 1921. That belief has been confounded -not because it was 111-based, but because circumstances arose to give the Government admirable chances to prolong its life. During its first few months there was a kindly feeling among the Opposition- especially the predominant Conservative section of 1t-to give the Labour Government an opportunity of carry.

ing out an election campaign promise to cure unemployment. Before that perlod of grace had arisen the British freetrade parties were dismayed by the gathering forces behind the move popular for favour Empire of freetrade and the grow.ng a protection policy for Britain. The fear of the freetrade parties- Labour and Liberals -was crystallised in a movement to close their ranks against the third party, the only one espousing any sort of protection. This resulted in a pact between the Labour party leaders and Mr. Lloyd George to keep the Labour Government in office as a defense against the encroachments of protection.

That support has been frequently given, either by the placing of Liberals in the Government lobbies or by their abstention from voting in critical divisions. Mr. Lloyd George has hold the balance of power. Not until he puts his weight in the Conservative scale will the Government be defeated. Now and again the wily little Welshman has manipulated h.s support to frighten the Labour leaders -to demonstrate his own power.

Mr. MacDonald and his colleagues have not attempted to treat their Liberal allies too harshly, and 50 they have lived as Critain's governors for 13 months. That is the longest period of any session since the war. Yet, in spite of its length, the Government has been compelled to drop several important bills foreshadowed in the King's Speech with which the session opened. But what the Government has left undone in this respect is nothing to the effect its tenure of office has had upon the very problem which they were elected to solve.

The unemployment figures to-day total nearly more than a year ago. Early prophecies that the nature of the difficultics would find weaknesses in the armour of Mr. J. H. Thomas, the first "Minister of Unemployment," have proved correct.

Ile has been superseded. His successor, Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, has had two months to appreciate the size of his task. The public can only discern that he has done that, and nothing more than that. Is it any wonder that the session has ended with an impatient, almost angry Parliament and bitterly critical electorate? FUTURE OF LABOUR LEADERS.

Not the least impatient and angry of bers of the House of Commons have been some of the Labour people. Thirty of the extremists under Mr. Maxton have thrust again and again at the Government's flanks. Mr. Churchill alone has equalled them in venom of criticism.

But, apart from these malcontents, there is another section, mainly trade unionists, who have become restive under the laissez faire of their leaders. This flame of dissatisfaction is being fed by the paper campaign which espouses protection as the sole remaining untried remedy to cure Britain's industrial ills. That view is gaining adherents daily. It IS given expression by a movement in the Labour Parliamentary ranks to depose Messrs. MacDonald and Snowden.

The demand for change in the offices of Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer comes from A group of young members. It would not attract much attention but for the fact that one or two prominent members of the Government are actively associating themselves with the movement, of which Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Snowden are aware. The movement is inspired by dissatisfaction with the political leadership of Mr.

MacDonald and Mr. Snowden. It is probable that if what is called the "anti-MacDonald and Snowden intrigue" continues it will be fought out at a meeting of the Labour Parliamentary party. Much is being made, top, of the supposed ill. health of both Mr.

MacDonald and Mr. Snore den. but neither Mr. MacDonald nor Mr. Snowden betrays at present any outward in.ditcation of the state of ill-health attributed to them by those who are anxious to have them deposed.

Rumours of the Prime Minister's impending resignation have been in circulation, but there is no truth in them. They are regarded as part of the campaign that is being conducted against Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Snowden. Mr.

Arthur Henderson (Forcien Secretary) appears to be the nominee of the critics for the office of Prime Minister. but apparently the succession to the Chancellorship has yet to be settled by the organis rs of the movement. The strength of Mr. Henderson's position lies in his intimate know dre of the inner movements of opinion among the Socialists and his control of the party machine. It is suggested that Mr.

Henderson desires 10 make the King's Speech at the opening of the new session of Parliament--and the a1 peal to the country cannot be long delayed-an opportunity of conveying to the country a more Socialistic programme. DISCOVERY OF AN OLD MASTER. So many forgotten "old masters" have come to light during the last few years that it would seen impossible for their number to be increased, but where mere skill and knowledre have failed, science is aiding the expert definitely to catalogue, once and for all, the masterpieces which time has hidden. One such remantic discovery has been revealed this by the aesthetic equivalent of Sherlock Paul Ganz. a German expert on Holbein and his school.

The painting is a portrait of Charles Brandon. Duke of Suffolk, favourite and brother-in-law of Henry VIII. For many years it was in the collection belonging to the Marquises of Hastings, and finally passed as a bequest to Lady Londoun. The latter sold it to a German dealer, who called in Dr. Ganz's aid.

Dr. Ganz was posttive that the upper part of the portrait not by Hoibein. but the fact that this part was in oils, while the lower half was in tempera, shrewdly led him to have the whole picture X-rayed. Th object of this was to reveal the presence under the oils of any old tampers work. Such old work was, in fact, revealed by the X-ray photographs.

The oil paint was rentoved, and, the tempera being exposed, the pa was established as a genuine Holbein, worth many thousands of pounds. Beneath the removed oils there also a layer of sort. The theory formed was that the picture had hung near a chimney for hundreds of years, probably in place of honour, and that the picture had been restored in oils to cover up the damage done by heat and smoke. The now-restored portrait shows Holbein at his best, both design and colour uniting to make it an outstanding masterpicce. STEAMERS MOTORSHIPS.

In the exciting rivalry between the steamer and the motorship, it appeared a short period ago that the newer type would win, and that the steamer was doomed to extinction. Now, spurred on by the remarkable success of the Diesel engines, steam engineers are making wonderful progress, and the rivaly 13 as exciting as ever. The Diesel engine gives remarkable economy, but it has its disadvantages. One 13 that, if it is desired to increase the speed of a motor-ship, it is almost invariably sary to install a new set of engines. a troublesome and expensive business.

With the orditary reciprocating steam engine, increase of speed can be effected by a comparatively small operation of ship surgery. The idea started with two well-known German engineers, Bauer and Wach, and it is now known all over the world as the Bauer-Wach system. The main idea is to install a low pressure turbine with plenty of kick left in the steam which has passed through the last stage of a triple or quadruple expansion engine. By means of an ingenious hydraulic coupling the turbine was made to exert much extra power. The P.

and O. Company was the first British firm to try the new aid to steam. It enabled them to convert their "branch" liners to tralia from 14 to 16 knots, fast enough to enable these vessels to take mails. Having had this success. the company extended it to the Mooltan, and now the Maloja is undergoing the process in a London dock.

Other liners en the P. and O. service to India have also been fitted. Their passenger liners are the most striking instances of this conversion, but large number of smaller cargo steamers are heing changed by the Bauer-Wach system, in which the additional machinery is compact and takes up little room at the aft end of the engine. in the Mooltan was experiment scribed in the "Herald" of August JERVIS BAY COLLEGE.
