ministers are also entitled to legal fees,
which sometimes amount to between
$4,000. and $4,000 annually. Some
left-wingers in the Labor party would
ike to see big reduction in the emoI-
uments of these law officers of the
crown, but most of the distinguished
incumbents of these two Jobs would
probably make much more if they were
practicing at the bar.
IL has long been recognized that the
salary OF member of Parliament is
wholly inadequate, yet there are many
LABOR members who live almost entirely
on 1t. Some wealthy members have re-
signed their seats because of the heavy
orain on their purses In several in
stances 1T was estimated by the retir-
ing members that they had to put out
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year in
all forms of charity and entertaining of
constituents. Three Labor members
whose constituencies are in the north
share a small apartment in London and
OFTEN do their own cooking. It was
largely through the pressure of Labor
members that thigh teas" were mad
available on the parliamentary premises
This is a meal which often includeA
smoked fish or sausages. 1t was com
planned that dining in the regular Com
mon restaurant was too costly, espe-
cially when there were long sittings and
IT was necessary to eat at least twice
during a sitting of the House.

Communists Letters
Seized by Japanese

Letters which the police say link the
Third Internationale and several radi-
cal labor organizations in TOXIC and
Osaka were recently seized by officials
of the small port of Fushigi, on the
west coast of Japan. A sailor from one
of the tramp steamers plying between
Fushigi and Vladivostok aroused the
suspicion of the post office authorities
when he went in one day and sent sew
eral fat registered letters addressed to
branches of these radical organizations.
The letters were opened and were
found to contain material the nature
of which has not been revealed, but 1t
is understood that they were of a sedi-
tious nature. The fact that there has
been a number of labor disputes
throughout the country of late aroused
the police TO keep a strict lookout for
any adverse propaganda from abroad.
The captain of the ship and the 80
members of the crew were questioned
about the letters and one sailor, who
was found to be member of a secret
labor group in Osaka and who re-
sembled the man who posted the letters,
was arrested. Efforts TO determine ex-
actly the nature of the plot" II any,
however. have a. yet proved futile.

Britain to Increase Salary of Premier;
Ministers Pay Inadequate Since War

LONDON. - If Parliament approves
the recommendation of Select Com
mittee on Ministers Salaries, which it
is expected to do in the new session
opening on October %, the British
prime minister will be paid $35 900 in
stead of $25, 900 a year. But so long
as the present premier, Ramsay Mac
Donald, retains his Office. he will re-
ceive only the usual $4,000, for the
increase does not become operative dur
ing the present administration.
For many years the salary paid the
chief of the Kings ministers has been
regarded as inadequate, and it has be-
come totally so since the war, because
of the rigorS of the income tax and the
greater amount of Official entertaining
which must be paid for out OF his own
purse.
Although there is a government hos
pitality fund, II was necessary for Pre-
mier Macdonald to spend considerable
sums in entertaining, both at his off,
cial residence, 10 Downing street, and
at Chequers, the country home of the
premierS of England, during the Naval
Conference. When he entertains in his
capacity as premier he can make no
claims on the hospitality fund More
of 1t is In store for the near future for
toward the end of September the I'M
perial Economic Conference will be
convened in London, and in late Octo-
Der the all-India round-taple parley will
meet here. In fact, Macdonald Is out
of luck In the matter of conferences.
Some of his predecessors got of lightly
In that respect.
= If Labor was turned out of Office to-
morrow MacDonalds principal source of
income would be his parliamentary sal
airy of $4,000 year. for although some
of the Kings ministers are entitled to
pensions, no provision has been made
for pensioning the prime minister,
whose other title is first lord of the
treasury. AS leader of the opposition
he is not supposed to augment his slim
income by other forms of employment.
There are nine ministers in the cabi-
net in receipt of a $4,000 salary. The
lord high chancellor. however. receives
$4,000 and on retirement is entitled to
pension Of about half that amount.
OF ministers not in the cabinet, the
attorney general and the solicitor gen.
eral receive, respectively, salaries Of
$4,000 .and $4,000, But these two

maugurating in Colombia a tradi-
tional practice which he had observed
in the United States during his long
stay in Washington as Colombian Min
lister, says a wire report from Bogota,
tie new President of Colombia has just
announced that he will receive the press
representatives in special audiences
twice q week
The Associated Press correspondent
in the Colombian capital adds that
Senior Olaya HERR -, who, after repre-
senting his country in Washington for
the last eight years, was inaugurated a
few weeks ago as President of that
South American republic, stated to him
that these press conferences will be
based on the plan now in practice at
the White House, where he had the
opportunity of observ its wonderful
results. The announcement met, of
course. with enthusiastic applause not
only in Colombia but in foreign coun-
tries where the decisive influence of
the press in public matters is well un-
derstood.
When Senior Olaya Herrera was
elected to the presidencf Of Colombia
he declared that the experience gath
cred during his long stay in the United
States would prove of incalculable serv-
ice in the discharge of such highly re-
sponSible duties as had Just been en-
trusted to him. lie said that he planned
to establish in Colombia several admin
lStrative practices which he had OBJ
served in thi, country at the same time
that he would encoL age economic re-
forms along American lines. One f
these practices Is that just announced
by cable. And this, like all subsequent
ones. can but result advantageollsly to
Colombian progress.
In nearly all Latin American coun-
tries there is a constitutional provision
that requires of any individual a GER
tain period Of uninterrupted residence
in national territory to make him eligi-
BILE for high executive or legislative
positions. Those living for long periods
in TO ign countries enerally have lit
tie pre- ability of success in elective
contests.
I would like to see another provision
substituted for this which would re-
quire precisely the contrary. e., that
all prospective candidates for public
office present certificate proving resi-
dence of two or three years in a highly
civilized foreign nation.

Big Family, Not Title,
Boosted atDuce's Party

An incident which has aroused much
admiration in the press occurred when
Mussolinl was giving a reception to the
arstocracy in Florence last month. IN
stead Of giving their titles Of nobility
when they were presented to the Duce,
the proud ladies Of Florence named
themselves Maria Teresa Ricasoli--six
children, Nora Observation-Disclosures
children" Maria Teresa Corsini-four
children" etc, emitting the hitherto
obligatory countess, duchess or mar
chioness always preceding the family
appefation.
This rather Fascist style of presenta-
ton was so greatly appreciated by the
Duce, who complimented the gentle
aristocrats in warm terms, that the ma
tional press imme diately declared how
not long ago big families were not pop
ular among the italian aristocracy.
Another newspaper in reference to the
gracious little episode expressed hopes
that the nobility viii now do as much
as the middle and lower classes to
make the country prosperous, power
full, admired and feared"

Japanese Sport World

Walter Hagen and Joe Kirkwood. who
recently returned from transforming
tour Of the Far East. say they are sur
prised at the great development of golf
in Japan. While the number, of course,
is at present limited, the world famous
players say that interest in the game
has spread to an astounding extent
among the business men there. At pres
ent golf is limited to those of the upper
classes because of the matter of ex-
pense, but the tine is not far off when
there will be public links available at
fairly reasonable rates. Hagen and
Kirkwood played each other and then
teamed up against japanese pair for
foursome in cheir matches there
Most OF the matches were close

I pulled out of my desk
drawer a couple of quotations
from eminent gentlemen. One
was MIR. Dempsey, the fighter,
quoted by my friend Grantland
Rice. Dempsey remarked that
in his first boxing days he
nearly had his jaw broken be-
cause he neglected to cover it
properly against a certain kind
of blow. But he was never
caught in just that same way
again.

The other quotation was from
Bobby Jones and was similar.
"All I know about golf I have
learned from the games 1 lost.
I never learned anything from
the games / won"
Most of us are so constituted
that the example of others, the
teachings Of history and the
warnings of our elders are
more or less Intellectual. We
simply will not learn until a
hard lesson comes along with a
bill attached.
The bill is unimportant. The
important thing is, when we
are hit do we learn something?
Or do we just get a sore jaw?
