Lyons and his Labour colleagues going round
Australia saying that Mr. Bruce was out to
destroy wages and smash arbitration. i
"As regards taxation reilef, the Prime Mini-
ster again misquotes me. I have said in Par-
liament and outside (as both Hansard and
newspapers report) that the Federal and State
mot Federal, as Mr. Lyons misquotes) re-
mission of taxation could this year have been
made equal to £20,000,000. The Federal Gov-
ernment claims to have made a remission of
£9,000,000. Mr Stevens claims to have made
annual remissions equal to £6,250,000. There
is an accumulated Federal surplus of
£ 4,800,000 from the previous two years, which
I urged should be used for taxation relief,
and this brings the total to £20,000,000. This
does not take into account possible savings
on expenditure, which, despite the desperate
times we live in, has increased in practically
every department except pensions.
TARIFF REDUCTION."My reply to the Prime Minister's question
as to how I would reduce the tariff, is by
using the same method Mr. Lyons adopted to
increase it, that is, by bringing down a tariff
schedule in Parliament. My schedule, how-
ever, would be based on the 1928 schedule In
all those cases where the Tariff Board had
not reported, instead of basing it on the Scul-
lin schedule as Mr. Lyons did, a great many
items in which had been unfavourably re-
ported on, or had not been reported on by the
Tariff Board."Dr. Page said he would also have imple-
mented the original Tariff Board recommenda-
tion on galvanised iron and glass, without re-
peated reference to the Tariff Board until an
increased dutv was eventually recommended.
Dr. Page said he would also have given the
Ottawa Agreement margins in all British pro-
tective items by wiping out the 10 per cent,
primage on them. Primage had been imposedsubsequent to the imposition of the duties by
the Scullin Government, and the Tariff Board
had reported that the revenue lost by its re-
mission on protective items would be insigni-
ficant to the Government, but that prices to
the consumer would be thereby materially re-
duced."Our complaint against the Government,"
concluded Dr. Page, "has been against Its
dilatoriness and the half-hearted nature of Its
l'étions,,
and because it does not use the
psychological moment to get results. The Gov-
ernment can regain the respect of the Country
purty, which Mr. Lyons says it has lost, and
secure its wholehearted support by utilising
Its remaining opportunity of carrying out the
programme agreed to before the 1931 elec-
tion."
"BOMBED."
Troops Face Air Attack.
SHOWER OF GOLF BALLS.
For the firsi, time in the hlstoiy of the4 IF troops on Satuiday willingly sub
-ritted to an aenal bombardment Indeed
they enjoved It even though a plane roaied
du\m to within 30 feet of them and the pilot
and his observer hurled bombs at the
victims below The bombs were golf balls
and bags of flour
The bombardment was one of the features
of the New South Wales Golf Club s AIF
Day celebrations at La Perouse The diggers
had been warned of the attack and when the
enemv appeared they were preparedThe plane swooped down rose and swooped
again Down came the first missile-a box
of balls and a miniature putter A burly
member of the Roseville duo seized the prize
and turned to race to safety A flying tackle
brought him to earth and when five minutes
latei he appeared from beneath a heaving
mass of diggers he had parted with his
souvenir He had also parted with his wind
and when he threw himself on the ground in
the hope of recovering it he was carefully
covered with a Union Jack while his com
iades stood to attention He was the first
casualtjBy this time the plane was again swooping
along the fail way and the prospect of more
baksheesh was too much for the troops
They deserted the corpse But their
lamentable lack of respect really did not
mattei for the corpse also responded to the
appeal of free golf balls and was in the van-
guard of the charge Diggers of every age
ize and description raced up and down the
fairways diving on the balls
On the third trip of the plane the
attackeis changed their tactics with telling
effect Down hurtled the bomb the
ti oops waited to pounce But they had
been out manoeuvred by a surprise move
Into their midst fell not golf balls but a bag
of flour A decided victory for the
attackers'
When the supply of bombs was exhausted
the pilot H C Durant who had F H Pery
as his observer gave a dlsplaj of stun'lng

pressive of the scenes From the various en-
trances 10,000 children entered the ring, and,
with rhythmic step and fluttering flags, took
up allotted places Out of this vast gathering
of radiant young life there was evolved, at
a given signal, a magnificent human picture,
set in a frame of deep green lawn, in honour
of the occasion and its underlying spirit of
faith The assemblage, looking down upon it
from the pavilions and other points of vantape,
was deeply stirredWith stars bordering it there appeared a
massive Irish harp, and, set between its human
strings, a huge Cross, standing out in red
On either side of the harp were the words,' Holy Year," in a great blaze of colourful block
lettering, and beneath it, there stood out, also
in vivid lettering, the lines, "Faith of Our
Tathers Living Still"
On another signal by
the Inspector of Roman Catholic Schools (the
Rev Fathei T J O'Connor), the great scene
became palpitant and aglow with life From
20,000 young hands a dense forest of fluttering
flags shot up, repiesentlng the colours of the

PAMIR PUTS TO SEA.
ICeremonious Farewell.
The departure of the tour-masted barque
Pamir created great interest on Caturday
afternoon The sailing ship, laden with wheat
was towed out of the harbour accompanied by
a fleet of ciaft of all descriptions, fiom ocean-
going yachts to rowing boatsDuring the early afternoon, launches loaded
with spectators gathered around the Pamir
as she lay off Point Piper On board the
barque, busy figures hurried to and fro com-
pleting the final pieparations for the voyage
to the United Kingdom The anchors were
weighed and then slowly, as the tug steamed
ahead the Pamir began to move down har-
bour At the harbour entrance, a number of
the smaller craft accompanying the barque
dropped back but she passed through the
Heads escorted by five graceful yacnts Pass-
ing steamers blew their sirens in farewell A
great liner with hundreds of waving passen-
gers crowding the rails, steamed past the
weather-worn sailing ship Overhead, two aero-
planes diveJ and circled cameras clicked and
film cameraman in launches speeded by as
the tall ship with her gaunt spars silhouetted
against the white clouds In the sky, was towed
to sea
From the tug the Pamir could be seen head
on as she tolled slightly in the swell, and her
bowsprit on which was fastened the fin at
a fchaik-to ensure fail winds-alternately rose
high in the air or dipped towards the ocean
Tiny figures raced aloft and the staysails were
unfurled Then at intervals during the course
of a tow of seven miles, sail after sail unfurled
A few minutes after the tow rope had been
cast off, the masts and spars of the barque
were clothed in white canvas Finally her top
gallant sails were set and with 1 er huge spi ead
of canvas billowing In the north-easterly
breeze, the barque proudly cut through the
I
water. The siren on the tug sounded a fare-
well At sunset the Pamir was a speck on
the horizon_

SAMUEL INSULLi
-.
Permitted to Leave Greece.
ON WAY TO ABYSSINIA.
ATHENS. March l8.
Samuel Insull. who was arrested on boaid I
the steamer Malotls as it was making for Port I
Said, left Athens last night bv the same
steamer for Djibouti (French Somallland), en
route to Abvssinia. Thus Insult's long-sus-
tained effort to RVoid being brought to trial
in Chicago on charges of fraud is advanced
anolhei stage.The return of the Malotls after it had been
pursued bv a Greek torpedo boat was spectacu-
lar. It arrived at the port of Piraeus sur-
rounded bv naval launches. Mrs. Insull
boarded the shin with a specialist and food,
wine, and brandv.Insull ¡laid that he left his apartment in
Athens bv the front door early on Wednes-
day morning, having dyed his hair and mous-
tache. He was anxious to avoid complications
between Greece and America because he had
been advised that detectives wanted to kidnap
him.It was subsequently announced that after
compliance with formalities Insull would be per-
mitted to leave as soon as possible for Djibouti.
Owing to reports that Insull's depression,
which the captain of the Malotls during the
return to Piraeus wirelessed was so disturbing
that it had been necessary to give him an in-
jection. Mrs. Insull hurried to the Ministry of
the Interior and begged the Minister to send a
message to her husband saying that he would
not be handed over to the American authori-
ties. The Minister agreed, adding that Insull
could have an escort of police during his stay
in port.The American Legation, although informed of
the arrival of the Malotls, took no action. His
lawyers advised Insull not to land, and his wife
visited him and took additional luggage to him.
The former Premier (M. Venlzelos) told jour-
nalists that the Government's treatment of the
case was incomprehensible. It was lamentable
that they should order the Malotls to return,
for this proved that the Government had
promised to effect a concealed surrender of
Insull. Otherwise the order to return was in-
explicable.
The Minister for the Interior (M. Moud
lorldes), who would have to assume full re-
sponsibility, has resigned.Complications are expected at Djibouti be-
cause Insull does not possess a French vise,
and the French have already refused him per-
mission to land at Beirut (Syria).
BROTHER HELD IN CANADA.TORONTO. March 16.
Chief Justice Mulock confirmed the extra-
dition order against Martin Insull, brother of
Samuel Insull. who is wanted at Chicago on
similar charges of fraud in regard to the con-
duct of utility companies. Martin Insull has
thus lost a 17 months' legal battle, In which
he fought against his extradition as far as
the High Court. He is now being held for the
United States authorities.
BYRD EXPEDITION.
Series of Minor Mishaps.
(FROM REAR-ADMIRAI. BYRD.-COPYBIOHT.)
LITTLE AMERICA, March, X6.
The expedition has suffered a series of mis-
haps to the Byrd expedition, but there have
been some favourable developments, following
Wednesday's aeroplane crash.
A fire In the administration building
threatened to destroy the camp, but it waa ex-
tinguished. The expedition's newly-acquired
physican was forced to perform an emergency
appendicitis operation on Joseph Pelter, the
U.S. Navy cameraman. The operation was
successful, but his recovery will be slow.
Dangers to the camp from ice movements
appear to be over, and foodstuffs are being
transported by air to a depot 60 miles south
of Little America for the winter advance base
which Rear-Admiral Byrd intends to estab-
lish on the Ross ice barrier, 200 miles from the
camp. Two round-trips were made before
poor visiblity prevented further flying.
BOMB OUTRAGE.
Attempt on Life of Mussolini.
I ROME. March 16.
The trial by a special Court of four men
accused of the attempted assassination of
Signor Mussolini began to-day.
The accused are Renato Cianea, Claudio
Cianea, his 20-year-old son, Leone Bucci
lloni, and Pasquale Capasso, the latter both
temporary employees of the Ministry of Public
Works.The trial is the outcome of a bomb outrage
at St. Peter's on June 25, when four persons
were injured, one being permanently crippled.
It is alleged against the accused that they
plotted to assassinate Signor Mussolini with a
poison gas bomb they were making when
arrested in October.
Renato and Claudio Cianea both declared
that the St. Peter's bomb waa thrown merely
as an anti-Fascist demonstration, and was
not intended to cause damage. They also
alleged that Buccilloni and Alberto Cianea
arranged both that outrage and the attempt
on the life of Signor Mussolini.
The prosecution alleged that the accused
visited Paris, and obtained Instructions forvisitée» raris, ana wwuw usmu^wi *". ,

Mussolini, and that in the bomb there was a
mixture of potassium cyanide, sulphuric acid,
and hot water, to generate fumes sufficient to
kill a large roomful of people.

She added that she was first going to Holly-
wood to make a new picture. "I hope to have
as little talking In it as possible," she said.
"I shall weep bitterly if Charlie Chaplin talks
in his next picture, for then I know it is the
death of silent pictures."
MATCH DRAWN.
Test Team in Hobart.
KIPPAX'S FINE INNINGS.
HOBART, Sunday.
Tasmania was fortunate to avert defeat in
a match against the Australian Eleven whichended at the Cricket Association Ground at
Hobart yesterday.
Dismissing the test team, which had re-
sumed with 360 for four wickets for 501.
Tasmania was only 163 runs behind, withtwo and a half hours to play, and a draw ap-
peared Inevitable. The early loss of thewickets of Badcock and Ferrall, however, ap-
'
peared to unsettle the side and, aided by the
splendid bowling of Wall, the Australians had
dismissed eight Tasmanlans for 124 when playceased at 5 p.m. to enable the team to jointhe Orford for Melbourne. There was a
large gathering on the wharf, and the team
received an enthusiastic farewell.Morrisby batted well early in Tasmania's
second innings, defying the attack for 66 min-
utes. Green and Thomas settled down to a
solid partnership, but a brilliant throw byFlcetwood-Smith ended the stand, and threemore wickets fell in five minutes. The aspectof the game changed entirely, and the Tas-
manlans were struggling for runs for the re-mainder of the afternoon.
As in the first innings, Wall and Ebelingwere the only impressive bowlers. Wall showedbetter pace on Saturday, and swung the ball
both ways most disconcertingly. He hadten wickets In the match for 149 runs. TheAustralian fielding was good, although McCabeagain showed that he Is not suited to theslips, where he dropped two catches.
Kippax played a brilliant innings for Aus-tralia, and carried his overnight score of 76to 141 before he was well caught on theboundary. He scored his runs in even time,and hit 22 fours. Chipperfleld and Bar-
nett also shaped attractively.The attendance was 4200, and the gate re-
ceipts £251, making totals for the match11,500 and £650.

ANCIENT MARINERS
See a Sailing Ship Out.
OLD DAYS RECALLED.
The League of Ancient Mariners had a dayout on Saturday. After lunch at the NavalDepot, Rushcutter Bay, they boarded the Manlyferry steamer, Burra-Bra. and followed theFinnish four-masted barque. Pamir, down theharbour.
With her bows turned into the ground-swellbetween the Heads, the Burra-Bra was hoveto until the barque was an indistinct blur on
the horizon to the south-east, while men whohad secured their master's tickets in sail 30,40. 50, and some nearly 60 years ago, watchedthe canvas clapped on.
Peering short-sightedly through his glasses,one old salt became quite excited. "He's let-ting go his lower tops'Is," he exclaimed. "Ay,she's a fine ship."
It was obvious, however, that the partywatched the departure of the sailer withmingled feelings. "That's the only way to learnseafaring," was a phrase on almost every lip,but one did not hear the wish expressed tobe on board. One master mariner, who firstvisited Sydney in 1874 as a boy before themast at 2/6 a month, said: "I don't knowwhether I would do it again, but I'm glad Idid not miss It."
The band of the Royal Australian NavalReserve, under Commissioned Bandmaster Pitt,played nautical music as the Burra-Bra at
length commenced a cruise of the harbour.Gradually the party split up into small groups,in which many yarns were "swapped." It wasnot long before a small group gathered aroundCaptain S. Phillips at the piano, and struckup the old sea chanties. "The Maid of Amster-dam" was a favourite, as was "Blow the ManDown."
The president (Captain S. G. Green) likesto be regarded as a "young fellow" (he cele-brated his 81st birthday a week before theouting), but he revealed on Saturday that hegained his master's ticket in 1878. He Indig-nantly denied that he was the oldest manthere, and to prove his point pointed to CaptainTalbot, who is 92. There were some surprises.A man who looked quite young described hisadventures beating round the Horn in theeighties, and drew a picture of South Atlantic"greybacks" laid flat by ice, following a sud-den blizzard. He also described a skipper whowas drunk for 71 days of a voyage of 72. andwould have been drunk for 72 only his supplyof liquor ran out. The narrator was then anapprentice, and on one occasion found theskipper asleep in his bunk, a bottle of whiskyon one side, a bottle of brandy on the other,and an ancient Bible clasped to his breast.
Ex-Chief Fire Officer Jackson was one ofthe most interesting personalities on board theferry steamer. He first saw Sydney Harbourfrom the deck of the small Thompson barqueJerusalem in 1875, deserted his ship, and spentsame time ashore. The sea again called, andit was 16 years later that he
finally settledin Sydney. The first paid fire brigade wasthen being organised. It comprised 27 men.all seamen, and he is one of the few survivors.
Before the luncheon, Captain Green un-veiled the figurehead of the barque Woodburn(1896), which was recently presented to theNaval Depot by Mr. James Burns. The DistrictNaval Officer (Commander C. W. Stevens)opened the simple little ceremony witli a
reference to the cordial co-operation betweenthe naval . and mercantile marine services,typified at the depot by the figureheads ofH.M.S. Nelson and the Woodburn, side by side.
Proposing the toast of "the day we cele-brate" at the luncheon, Captain F. J. Bayldonsaid that for the last 1000 years the historyof the British race had been colled aroundthe history of the merchant marine, which forthe lost 300 years had sailed under the RedEnsign, and for the previous 300 years underthe Red Cross of England._
THE EAST.
"Feeling of Insecurity."
CLERGYMAN'S IMPRESSIONS.
The Right Rev. R. W. Macaulay, Moderatorof the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, andminister at Camberwell, v/ho returned last
week from a trip to the East, said in an in-
terview with a representative of the ."Herald"
on Saturday that on reaching Manila the tra-
veller could describe the rest of the journeyto the East in one word, "insecurity." in Hong
Kong the principal feeling among the West-
ern community seemed to be one of great ner-
vousness. There was fear as to what the next
development in China would be. In Japan thefeeling of insecurity was so strong that thevisitor began to think that the whole of theEast was like a barrel of gunpowder await-
ing a spark.Mr. Macaulay said the striking Phrase heard
everywhere was "the crisis of 1935." In 1935
Japan's notice of withdrawal from the League
of Nations would take effect, and in 1936
the Washington Treaty for limitation of navieswould expire. As the Japanese Government
saw the situation. Japan was standing entirely
alone in a world which was hostile, or, at
best, neutral. This belief in an impending crisis
was made the basis of propaganda for defence
preparedness, which was nation-wide and ex-
tremely thorough.
AUCTION BRIDGE.
Championship Play.
The final tournament to determine the met-
ropolitan duplicate auction bridge champion-
ship was commenced on Saturday night at the
Sydney Bridge Club. The event, which is
conducted under the auspices of the New South
Wales Bridge Association, attracted a fair
entry, and 32 players qualified to engage in
the final round. Twenty-four boards were
played, and the same number of hands will
be dealt with next Wednesday evening. Thepair emerging then with the highest score of
points under the Howell system will retain the
cup for the ensuing 12 months.The tournament was directed by Mr. Tude
hope and shortly before midnight the referee
(Mr. J. A. Burke) announced the following
| progress results:
NORTH-SOUTH.Points.
Mrs. Blood and Miss Louttit. 98

The play was not of the high standard which
characterised the recently concluded contract
match, but there were some notable exceptions
and there were a few instances of bright bid-
ding, followed by clever play. Hand No. 5,
which yielded an unexpected result, came outas follows:

East dealt, and was the declarer in spades
at all the tables. At two tables 11 tricks were
made, three tables made 10, but three obtained
only nine, and, therefore, missed the game
bonus. The invariable lead was a heart, but
whatever is led the declarer can make game
when he obtains control at trick 3, by playing
his ace of diamonds before entering dummy
through the clubs, so that a losing heart may
be discharged on the king of diamonds. The
defenders in some instances returned the spade
10 after winning the first heart trick. Where
the declartr then finessed he was preventedfrom making game. It was expected that each
declarant would foresee the consequences of
the finesse falling, but, as already stated, at.
three tables this was overlooked.
VOLUNTEER FIREMEN.
Contrasts in Apparatus.
_
NEWCASTLE, Sunday.
Lithgow won tile Alfred Webb Cup for high-
est aggregate points in all competitive events
at the volunteer firemen's demonstration,which ended at the Newcastle Sports Groundyesterday. Orange, which was second for the
Alfred Webb Cup, defeated Lithgow by a single
point for the Reddaway Casket, awarded to the
brigade gaining highest aggregate points in
hose events. Lithgow had won both trophies
at the previous demonstration In 1932. Lock-
hart, which was working under strange con-
ditions in most events, put up a fine perform-
ance by finishing third in the two aggregates.The demonstration reached a spectacular
climax late yesterday afternoon with an ex-
hibition of the evolution of fire-fightingmethods though the centuries. Flre-flghting
appliances of the past, reconstructed In the
workshops of the Board of Fire Commission-
ers of New South Wales from accurate his-
torical data, were brought on the ground by
volunteers dressed In the fashions of the ap-
propriate periods. The many spectators
amusedly saw thin streams of water raised
into the air from bucket-fed machines of the
types devised by Cteslblus of Alexandria In 250
B.C.-these having a giant wooden wheel
as the chief feature of the pumping equip-
ment-and by Hero of Alexandria in 120 B.C.The latter, with It"! double forcing pump and
smooth bored cylinders, was the forerunner
of the modern fire engine.There was also an exhibition of modern fire
brigade methods. Great petrol-driven fire en-
gines rushed round the ground. An extensionladder shot towards the sky. A man in an
asbestos suit stroiied carelessly up and downbetween lines of blazing hessian. Wearers
of smoke helmets casually entered a hut fromwhich great clouds of brimstone-smellingsn.oke were emerging. Firemen jumped froma high platform Into cunningly devised land-ing sheets. Chemical extinguishers quicklybrought blazing oil and fast-burning shavingsunder control.

FEDERAL" CABINET.
Meeting in Sydney To-morrow.
I TRADE POSTS IN THE EAST.
A meeting of the Federal Cabinet will be
held In Sydney to-morrow morning, this be-
ing the last Cabinet meeting before the de-
parture of the Attorney-General and Minister
for External Affairs (Mr. Latham) on his Far
Eastern mission.Members of the Cabinet will entertain Mr.
Latham at luncheon to-morrow, and the
Prime Minister (Mr. Lyons) has extended an
invitation to New South Wales members of
the Federal Parliament to loin the Cabinet at
afternoon tea in order to say good-bye to Mr.
Latham.
Mostly, the Cabinet business to-morrow will
be of a routine charucter, but it is expected
that consideration will be given to the ques-
tion of appointments to the posts of Trade
Commissioner in the Far East which are to be
Inaugurated by the Government. These ap-
pointments will probably cover Japan. China,
and the Dutch East Indies.
The Minister for Commerce (Mr. Stewart)
will submit lo Cabinet a panel of names of
persons suitable for appointment, drawn up
by the advisory committees set up in each
State for the purpose. Although opposition
has been expressed in certain quarters to the
Ministry's proposal to appoint Trade Commis-
sioners in the Far East, it is claimed that the
policy has general support among the com-
mercial community.
A conference on Eastern trade was held
at Sydney in February of last year. The con-
ference, which was attended by representa-
tives of commercial interests throughout Aus-
tralia, recommended that as an alternative to
a trade delegation to the East, the principleof official representation overseas to deal with
trade matters should be approved and the Min-
ister for Commerce was urged to put this prin-ciple into operation as soon as possible.
Following on the conference, an advisory
committee was set up in each State. The New
South Wales committee, with one dissentient,
recommended the aDpointments. The Queens-
land and Western Australian committees un-
animously supported the appointments. The
South Australian committee did not expressan opinion on the merits of the matter, but
its approval, it Is claimed, was implied, as it
requested that the appointments should be
made In consultation with the advisory com-
mittees. In Victoria, it is stated, five out of
the nine members of the committee indicated
the support of their organisations to the Gov-
ernment's proposals._ |
