The judge said that Day had recorded ssainst him a string of convictions, some 20 in number, and he hesitated whether the time had arrived when Day ought to go to penal servitude It was a mean theft, but involved only a small amount, and in the circumstances Day would be sentenced to nine monthi hard labour.

BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7. 1933 In addressing the International Congress of Building Societies yesterday the Prince of Wales paid a merited tribute to the beneficial influence which these institutions exert on our national life and habits. A movement which began over a century and a half ago in England has so far prospered that a dozen other countries have been impelled to adopt it with eminently satisfactory results.

Altogether the Societies boast 3,000,000 members, and in Great Britain alone they control assets valued at Since 191Q the British societies have advanced over £626,000,000 to assist house purchase and have financed one-half of the 2,000,000 houses erected in this country since the war. These figures suffice to prove the magnitude of the movement as it exists to-day and the important place which it occupies in the economy of our national life. It is safe to say that without the aid of tlfe building societies the housing situation to-dav would be infinitely more acute than it is. By helping to solve the question of finance they have removed the chief obstacle to the ownership of their homes by the people, and ministered to an instinct which is amongst the strong stabilising elements in human society. A family with a home of its own is a family with a stake in the country whose inclinations tend to be fundamenta'ly sound and opposed to social upheaval and conflict.

It mav well be the case that the public owes to the building societies a political as well as a material debt, and that without the incentive to domestic content which their operations have provided the state of the country would be more restless than it happens to be. As the Prince of Wales remarked, good housing is intimately connected with health, education and moral welfare, and the home itself in its truest and best form can only exist in a decent habitation where it is possible for a family to live in self-respect and good order." While, therefore, the societies are deserving of gratitude for what they have done, a vast sphere of usefulness remains to be explored. The Prince of Wales mentioned particularly the case of the slums whose extermination depends on the erection of a sufficiency of houses to suit the lower-paid workers. By making funds available for this purpose the building societies can assist in a great, an urgent and a long-delayed work of regeneration and progress. FLAMING JUNE.

Those who aver that the seasons have changed and that summer nowadays is not what it used to be will need some ingenuity to reconcile their theories with the facts of the present Whitsuntide. To the younger generation who have listened sceptically while their elders discoursed on flaming Junes and opulent Augusts the weather of the last few days must have come as a revelation. One imagines that even the meteorologists themselves have been a little taken aback by the complete absence of any sign of a depression over Iceland. Still, there is always the possibility of a thunderstorm to maintain the variable reputation of the English climate. Happily the West has been spared any such visitation.

From dawn till dusk the sequence of sunsteeped hours has remained unbroken. And what praise is too lavish to celebrate the glories of the countryside arrayed in all the panoply of high summer? Never has the foliage appeared more luxurious, the meadows more gorgeous with the gold of buttercups, or the prospect of the encircling hills more alluring. Such scenes cast over the spirit of man a spell of beauty and minister to an inward craving for satisfaction and content. Who can behold the pageant of a June like this and not feel that despite all its perplexities life is worth living after all? There can surely be no better antidote to depression than a day or two in the country under conditions like those which have prevailed during the past few days. Much has been written about the spoliation of the countryside, and it is certainly true that terrible follies have been, and are still being committed by the- Philistines in our midst.

But they have not wholly succeeded in transforming England from a garden into a wilderness. The eye can still feast on landscapes of incomparable excellence, and it is possible even now to discover sequestered beauty spots whose peace remains almost as tranquil as before the motor-car arrived. But the price of presqpving this inheritance is an eternal vigilance. The glory of this holiday has enabled millions to appreciate with a special fervour the perfections of their native land. May the experience inspire them also with an earnest solicitude for the conservation in its natural character of the English countryside.

LONDON LETTER BUSY PERIOD OPENING FOR PREMIER. LONDON, Tuesday Night. To-morrow Ihe Prime Minister is to open the Anglo-Palestine exhibition that is being held in London, Hut it is not likely that Mr Ramsay Mac Donald "wilL have any other time to himself before the World Economic Conference meets. To-morrow morning ho is to meet the Secretary-General, and on the following day the United States delegation will arrive.

Some of the lesser delegations have already arrived, and from now onwards it may be anticipated that ihe British Prime Minister will be mainly engaged in the work of preparation for which he has reserved himself. He will, 'however, preside at the meetiiur of the Cabinet that is to be held on and that is of cardinal importance, because it. is expected that then the British Cabinet will take and announce a decision on the subject of the payment on account of war debt due on June 15. It may be remembered that in December this country paid with a reservation. li then made it clear that the payment then made was not regarded by It a payment under the old Funding Agreement of 1922.

Jt is expected that or. Friday it will one step further and offer only a token payment of say a couple of million pounds in. respect of the June payment. The desire is to get this matter cleared out of the way before comerence IMPROVEMENT IN EMPLOYMENT. Meantime the return of employment and unemployment issued by the Ministry of labour to-night shows another favourable movement.

The number of the employes is up by a further 123,000. At the beginning of the year unemployment was worse than it was in 1932. It has shown a progressive decline since January. Expressed as a percentage of insured workers, the unemployed show a reduction of from 23.1 iu January to 22.8 in February, 22.0 in March, and 21.4 in April. At 21.4 the percentage of workers unemployed in April was the same as in April.

1932. and the total number of the unemployed was 2,097,634. Tn the month ending 22nd of this year the total number of the unemployed was 2582.879. This compares with a total of 2,741,306 in May. 1932.

and represents 300.000 people absorbed into employment. Of the smaller figure of 123,000 absorbed into employment in May, 1933. about 60,000 were men and about 34,009 were women About 14,000 were men and boys. As there is a discrepancy in the figures, it must be assumed that the balance is accounted for by the employment of persons not previously insured. LABOUR CONDITIONS.

After the last International Labour Conference at Geneva it was suggested by the Opposition in the House of Commons that the Government had torpedoed a convention for reducing the hours of labour. The subject however, to come up for discussion at the conference which begins on June S. It is one in which a great many people take interest. Some in the United States might almost be said to have elevated it to the level of an article of economic faith. Labour organisations in this country have declared that it is the main, if not the only, cure for unemployment; and the Church has taken a hand in suggesting means by which the increased leisure of the released working men might be employed.

There are, however, quite a lot of people who are gratified to find that on this occasion the conference is to discuss four other matters on which the world is. generally speaking, very much behind this country, and in which the main effort will be to bring them up to the British level. One stumbling block in the way of schemes which tend to increase the cost of production is the irregularity of progress in the social services. There have even been times in which it has been suggested that Contij nental nations have advocated reforms with the idea ot' getting additional overhead charges piled on to Briti-h industry. That, of course, may be unjust.

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS. Such a decision is expected is in the nature of a compromise between sections of lie Cabinet. It is calculated to give a shock to some parties in the United States. As lately as a day or two ago tliev were comforting themselves with the thought that this country waj preparing to pay in full. In this country it- was hoped until within the last day or two that a message from I President Roosevelt might make things easier.

It seems to be recognised, however, tliat as things are now in the United States, President Roosevelt will not in his Message to Congress ask for power to grant a moratorium. Those who are nearest to him feel that that would only be riding for a fall; in fact, difficulties between the President and his Congress are becoming more troublesome. There is rather an acute difference at present over the question of balancing the Budget. The domestic quarrel has no interest except that the balance of the United States Budget depends not merely on ihe things now in dispute, but also on the reception of the June War Debt payment. In this country Mr Chamberlain has made no provision for payment.

In the United States the Budget has been framed as it' full payment were certain. Whether a token payment will be accepted as a via media remains to be seen, TERCENTENARY OF GEORGE HERBERT.

of the results obtained by the 8.8.C. folio wing their invitation to listeners to submit poems for broadcasting are to published to-day. Over 11.000 poems were received, but only 23 have been chosen, and the reading of them at the microphone will begin on June 12. No poet of generally recognised standing competed; and the huge mass of verse showed an astonishing absence of any understanding of the business of writing pcetry. The subjects dealt with may be roughly classified as: and descriptive, eleven: philosophical and meditative, fixe; characters, four; religious, three; love, two; wireless, one; fantasy, one; and miscellaneous, one; a poem on a it should come under nature.

It is rather remarkable for poems written to-day that only four should be unrhymed and only one should use to any extent the device of assonance and half-rhvme. There is only one out-and-out vers-libre (the whelk Again), which is also rather remarkable io a collection of contemporary poetry. WATER SHORTAGE AT CASTLE COMBE. Suggested Use of Another Spring. At the meeting of the Chippenham Rural District Council, 011 Tuesday, Mr E.

Pearce presiding, Mr E. IT ay ward drew attention to the shortage of water at Castle Combe, and urged that a spring in the centre of the parish which yielded 400 crallons a minute might be made available. There were people who had to walk over a quarter of a mile to get water to drink, and on his own farm he. on the las' drv summer, had to haul for 13 weeks. He feared the consequences if there was a drv week or two.

It was decided that Mr Hayward should consult with local residents before any scheme was prepared. II was reported that the chairman had again elected a member of the Executive Council of the Rural District Councils' Association of England and Wales. The cost of lighting for the past year was stated to be £16,308. CO-OPERATORS DECISION ON INCOME TAX. Ransom Demanded By Chancellor.
