FRANCES AND GERMANY SIGN A NO-WAR PACT
A Solemn Acknowledgement Of The Present Frontier : Colonial Question Not Settled
United Press Association – Copyright.
(Received December 7, 6 p.m.)
PARIS, Dec. 6.
“I have come for peace between France and Germany,” declared the German Foreign Minister (Herr von Ribbentrop) upon his arrival.  He was greeted by the French Foreign Minister (M. Bonnet).
Thousands of Mobile Guards placed a cordon around the station.
Herr von Ribbentrop and M. Bonnet signed a no-war pact.  It reads:
“The French and German Governments, convinced that friendly and good-neighbourly relations are one of the most essential elements in the consolidation of good relationship in Europe and in the maintenance of peace, will do all in their power to safeguard such mutual relations.
“Both countries state that there are no more questions of a territorial kind between the countries, and that they solemnly recognise the present French-German frontier.
“Both are resolved, without prejudice to their relations with Third Powers, to remain in touch regarding all mutual problems and to negotiate if those problems lead to international difficulties.”
Silent crowds lined the unbeflagged streets through which Herr von Ribbentrop drive heavily guarded. Herr von Ribbentrop later issued the following statement: –
“France and Germany, taking into account the solid basis constituted by the friendship binding them to other States, have agreed to end their secular frontier conflicts and by reciprocally recognising their territory, to facilitate the road to mutual recognition and consideration of their vital national interests as partners with equal rights.”
“France and Germany declare themselves, after serious differences, ready to establish their relations on ‘bon voisinage’ (good-neighbourliness) for the future.  With this declaration of goodwill they express the conviction that no opposition exists of a vital nature to justify conflict of economic interests.”
Colonial Claims.
The Paris correspondent of “The Times” points out that the German-French no-way declaration cannot be interpreted as an abandonment of the German colonial claims.
The “Daily Mail’s” Berlin correspondent supports this view, quoting the official spokesman as saying: – “The Franco-German frontier is final, but the declaration does not concern the French colonies.”

RUGBY, Dec, 6.
Opening the new premises of the Air Ministry in Berkeley Square, the Secretary of State for Air (Sir Kingsley Wood) said that the Ministry’s new home was the largest individual hiring for office purposes that the Office of Works had ever negotiated, and if one were to walk round every room in the building the distance would be 30 miles.
The move had involved the transfer of 50,000 separate items in one week-end.

Assistance For China
BRITISH SYMPATHY
Proposals Are Under Examination
WARNING TO JAPAN
United Press Association – Copyright
(Received December 8, 11.30 p.m.)
LONDON, Dec. 7.
In the House of Lords, the Earl of Plymouth said that the Government was examining a number of proposals for the granting of assistance to China in connection with export credits.
The Government will certainly examine sympathetically these and any similar requests from the Chinese Government, he said.
Referring to an announcement from Tokyo regarding the formation of an economic and political bloc between China, Japan and Manchukuo, he said: “His Majesty’s Government cannot possibly subscribe to it.”  He was sure that the Japanese Government must realise that its present policy must inevitably have incalculable repercussions in other parts of the world.

Where Is The Owner?
Attempts are being made to trade the owner of a General Service Great War medal which was found in a tin of staples at the premises of Timber Millers, Port Ahuriri.  The services of the “Daily Mail” have been sought with a view to returning this memento to its owner.
The obverse of the medal bears a portrait of King George V and around the edge are the familiar Latin words on all British coins – Georgius V Britt: Omn: Rex et Ind: Imp.”
The reverse bears the figure of a horseman with bared sword.  His mount in trampling on a shied bearing the German Imperial Emblem and alongside is a small skull and crossbones.  It bears the figures 1914, 1918.
On the edge of the medal is the owner’s name – Robert E Repson.
The correct name is believed to be Robert Repsch, who was employed as a professional cook.  It is believed he is no engaged by a shipping company.
Mr Repsch was formerly in charge of the cookhouse at Tutira Mill.

EX-KAISER SPEAKS HIS MIND ON HERR HITLER
Shirted Gangsters Can Build Legions But Not A Nation
United Press Association – Copyright.
(Received December 7, 11.15 p.m.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 6
The ex-Kaiser breaks a long silence on Herr Hitler in an interview with Mr. W. Burckhardt published in the magazine, “Ken”.  Asked what he thought of the Fuhrer, Wilhelm retorted explosively, “Nicht”, meaning “Nothing.”  He added: “There’s a man alone, without a family, without God.  Why should he be human? Without doubt he is sincere, but this very excessive sincerity keeps him partly out of touch with men and realities.
“A nation is created by families, religion, tradition.  He builds legions, but he does not build a nation.
“For a few months I was inclined to believe in National Socialism.” continued the ex-Kaiser.  “I thought it a necessary fever and I was gratified to see associated with it for a time some of the wisest and outstanding Germans’ but these one by one he has got rid of, or even killed – Herr von Papen, General Schleichner, Baron von Neurath, even General von Blomberg have gone.  He has nothing left but a bunch of shirted gangsters.
German Glory Gone
“This man could bring home a victory to our people each year without bringing them the glory of our Germany, which was a nation of poets, musicians, artists and soldiers.
“He has made Germany a nation of hysterics and hermits engulfed in a mob and led by a thousand liars and fanatics.”

THE B.B.C. LOOKS INTO FUTURE
Short Wave Progress
ITS GENERAL USE FORECAST
Director’s Belief
British Official Wireless
(Received December 7, 8.30 p.m.)
RUGBY, Dec. 6.
The Director of the B.B.C., in a speech at London, said that short-wave and ultra-short-wave broadcasting was only beginning, but, in view of the astonishing progress made in the last two or three years, would it be rash to suggest that, before this century had passed its halfway mark, short-wave reception from one side of the world to the other might become as generally accessible to the ordinary listener as medium-wave reception was at home to-day?

DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED
BRITISH TRADE IN CHINA
PROMISES MADE
Hope That Japanese Will Lift Restrictions
British Official Wireless
(Received December 7, 6.30 p.m.)
RUGBY, Dec. 7.
Lord Plymouth, replying in the House of Lords to a debate on the treatment of British interests in the Far East, said that the situation regarding British trade in China was still very unsatisfactory.  The restrictions imposed on shipping where, in the eyes of the British Government, deliberate discrimination against British interests.  The British Government considered that there was no valid reason why British ships should not be admitted to harbours in South China, and representations had been made to the Japanese Government.
In view of the repeated promises by the Japanese Government that the restrictions would be removed the British Government was expecting an early improvement in the situation.
In the Commons the Parliamentary Secretary for Labour (Mr. R. A. Butler) admitted that the position was unsatisfactory.  He said that the British Government was prepared to consider all possible measures to safeguard British interest in China.  The British Government would always be ready to give assistance in bringing hostilities to an end when the appropriate moment arrived.

(Received December 7, 8.30 p.m.)
RUGBY, Dec. 6.
A memorial erected to the memory of five London schoolboy members of a Boy Scout Party who lost their lives during a severe blizzard and fog when holidaying in the Black Forest, Germany, in 1936, has recently been opened by the German authorities.
The Hitler Youth movement has in this memorial given a permanent form to the feelings of sympathy which were expressed in practical form at the time of the disaster.
The memorial bears the names of the five boys, together with the inscription in German and English:
“Erected in sympathy by the Hitler Youth to honour the memory of their sports comrades, the English Boy Scouts.

Motor-Cars In Collision
NO ONE INJURED
Early Morning Accident
VEHICLES DAMAGED
A good deal of damage was caused to two motor-cars which came into collision at the intersection of Karamu Road and St. Aubyn Street at 1 o’clock this morning. None of the occupants was injured.
One of the cars, a three-seater roadster, was travelling south along St. Aubyn Street when it came into collision with a five-seater tourer being driven along Karamu Road toward Napier.  The tourer was struck broadside-on, pushed sideways across the road, and pinned against a telephone pole on the corner.
The tourer suffered extensive damage to the front portion and the roadster was damaged on both sides, where it was struck by the other car and where it was pinned against the post.

PRIME MINISTER’S BROADCAST
MR SAVAGE EXPOUNDS GOVERNMENT’S POLICY
Important Wireless Talk On Financial And Industrial Plans By Telegraph –
Press Association.
WELLINGTON, Dec. 7.
The Government’s financial and industrial policy was explained by the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage) in a broadcast address to-night.
“I would like to say that, first and foremost, it is the aim of the Government to build and maintain the standard of living of all New Zealanders.  It is no use trying to lift our standard of living under the old economic system of ‘go as you please and devil take the hindmost,’” said Mr. Savage.
“In the past New Zealand has depended on expanding farm production and expanding markets overseas.  This has had the effect of developing our rich farm lands, but it has also meant that we have been more subject, perhaps, than any other country, to alternate booms and depressions with great poverty and unemployment.
“Whenever overseas prices have fallen” continued Mr Savage, “we have had to go without goods from abroad and we have not been able to supply them from our own production.  The second step obviously is to make these goods ourselves.
“This can’t be done all at once.  It will take some time; but we must see to it that New Zealand manufacturing industries are in a position to supply our needs.
“While we have our first duty to our own people we also have obligations to Great Britain, and these will never be lost sight of by the Government.
“We have repeatedly assured the British Government that we are prepared to buy from them to the full extent to which they buy from us, that is, after our debt services have been met.
INTEREST ON DEBTS
“There has never been any question concerning the payment of interest on our debt service.  It is on the trading side that we are adopting a new policy.  We want to increase our trade with Great Britain.
“To the extent that we are able, we want to spend every penny of the sterling proceeds of our exports on buying British manufactured goods.  We are gong to buy from those who buy from us, with first preference to the Motherland, buying as much as possible from the United Kingdom and making the adjustments necessary with other countries.
“This cannot be achieved by customs tariffs and preference duties only.  The sensible way is to select the goods we want to buy from Britain.  It is all a question of scientific selection of imports.  This same method of import selection is the most effective way of building up our own industries.  We are going to give New Zealand manufacturers a definite market if they can turn out goods.  To the extent that they can’t, we will import goods from abroad.
“Then there is the question of raw materials and equipment.  We must make sure that our industries are provided with all the raw material and machinery they need.  Each year we will set aside a certain part of our overseas funds for essential materials so that our workers and factories may be continuously employed.
LICENCES FOR IMPORTS
“I should like to make it clear that in dealing with applications for important licences for the purchase of goods and materials, preference will be given to those which constitute essential requirements and which cannot be produced in the Dominion; and I want to say most emphatically that what we are introducing is not a barrier but a regulative procedure.
“All we are doing is to introduce an element of planning into our economic life, where formerly things were left to chance.
“Now I wish to say something about the exchange position.  Each year we receive from our exports a certain amount of sterling money.  This is used to pay interest on our overseas debt, to provide debt repayments, to pay freight on our exports and imports, to pay the expenses of New Zealand travellers when abroad. Also, when people want to transfer money abroad, they use up New Zealand’s sterling money to do this.  In fact, these people can, by spending unusual sums abroad, use up the money we require to pay for our necessary imports.  This is the latest model in patriotism and it is as foolish as it is unnecessary, because the money is quite safe here.
THE PLEDGED WORD
“I have given my word of honour to the people that their interests will be safe. That pledge stands.  The point is that we are not going to let people embarrass the financial structure of the country, and, incidentally the interest of the people as a whole, in this way.
“Briefly, the position is this.
“We are adopting a policy of import selection because we are going to build New Zealand industries.  We need to select our imports because we want to protect our standard of living especially when overseas prices fall.  We have chosen the method of import selection, and because we want to pay off  gradually our overseas debts and conserve the amounts necessary to do this, we are going to select our imports.
“This is how it will be carried out.  We must make sure that all the money due to New Zealand from overseas every year will be under the supervision of our Reserve Bank.  To do this, everybody wishing to export anything from New Zealand must have a licence.  In practice, this will not apply to goods sent overseas by post.
“There will be no hindrance to exporters, and procedure us simple.
CAUTIONARY METHODS
“The next step is to see that adequate amounts of our overseas money are set aside for our debt service, our regular commitments, our needs in the way of equipment and raw materials and our other imports.  This means that everybody desiring to import goods will require a licence to enable them to fit in with the Government’s plan and to see that the Imports are bought from the countries decided on.
“Perhaps I could sum up in this way.  We are faced with this position.  There is depression and uncertainty of the most ominous kind overseas.  We have to defend our country in more ways than one.  We want to keep depression, poverty and want out, for one thing, and we can do it.  We are not going to follow the so-called orthodox method of deflation.
Further comment on the new trade control measures will be found on page 10.
“We fought against that in similar circumstances when we were in opposition from 1931 to 1935.  That policy means the curtailment of public works with unemployment and reduction in wages.  Ours is a positive plan to maintain the high standard of living to-day.  We are going to control the use of our overseas funds.  We are going to conserve sufficient funds to meet our overseas debt requirements.  We must ensure that our debt commitments are met on their due dates.  At the same time, we intend to prevent any further and totally unnecessary flight of capital and, of course, payment for selected and essential imports must be provided for.
“We do not want to cut down our imports, but we do want to commence building up a balanced economy.
A BALANCED ECONOMY
“I should also mention that it us the Government’s intention to issue an internal loan to meet capital expenditure in connection with railway and electrical equipment and other public works.  The Government’s policy is to use the public credit and to provide an opportunity for patriotic New Zealanders to invest their savings in the development of the Dominion’s resources.
“I say that there is no alternative to our present plan of regulation except to reduce our standard of living, and the Government is totally opposed to that.”
“Mr Savage referred to the public campaign for the development of New Zealand industries inaugurated by the Governor-General (Lord Galway) on Monday evening. He commended the appeal to purchase New Zealand made goods and invited wholehearted and enthusiastic co-operation.
“There is no reason whatsoever for any anxiety about the present and future economic and financial condition of New Zealand,” concluded Mr Savage.  “As I have said, time and time again, the Government will never hesitate to tackle the difficulties even though the remedies may mean an adjustment of methods.  The principle of our objective will not be altered.  We place in the forefront of our aims and achievements the security of the people.  Men, women and children are more important to the nation than profits.  The Government will continue to seek a greater measure of welfare and social happiness for all classes.
“These can be obtained only by co-operation between the people and the Government and by willing effort on the part of every individual to do everything possible for the advancement of a young nation with great resources.
“It is the duty of us all to strive hard for real economic development and expansion.  We must not be content with experiments in social welfare.  We must also excel in individual and collective efforts to make this little country a great nation.”

WHALE-OIL CARGO SEIZED
OFFENCES ALLEGED OFF AUSTRALIA
CALVES KILLED
Observer’s Warnings Disobeyed
United Press Association – Copyright.
(Received December 7, 6.45 p.m.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.
In the first case of its kind in the history of the Federal Courts, the authorities boarded the American whaler Frango and seized portion of its million-dollar cargo of whale oil, due to alleged violations of the international treaty limiting the killing of whales.
A similar seizure was made on the tanker Watertown, which transported part of the Frango’s cargo from Sharks Bay, Western Australia.
The treaty, which prohibits the killing of whales under 35ft. and suckling females or calves, was allegedly continuously violated under the eyes of an American coastguard officer, Lieutenant Midtyng, who accompanied the vessel as an observer under the treaty, and whose every warning was disregarded. Lieutenant Midtyng, according to the officials, was “in a precarious position almost constantly.  He was on the trip for three months and regarded each day with new apprehension.”
The Frango arrived at Sharks Bay on June 26 and departed on October 1.  The total kill was 900.
In Defence.
The harpoon carried an explosive bomb that shattered the whale upon impact.
The spokesman for the owners of the Frango insisted that it was impossible to tell the specific size of a whale while it was in the water, and the customary procedure was to accept a fine for any under-sized whales killed.
The Federal District Attorney stated that the prosecution of the Frango’s owners was contemplated.

FRENCH TRADES UNIONIST CONFESSES HIS FAILURE
Workers Returning:  Occupation of Factories Opposed By The Public
United Press Association – Copyright.
(Received December 7, 6.30 p.m.)
PARIS, Dec 7.
A confession of failure was made by M. Leon Jouhaux, leader of the Federated Trades Unionists, at a meeting of the Trade Union Executive.  He said it was useless to persist with the weapon of the occupation of factories, to which public opinion was opposed.
“Similarly, the Labour attitude to strikes needs revision.” he said.  “Labour is too prone to regard them from the spectacular side.”
He expressed the opinion that the confederation would enter a period of impotence if it supported the continuance of the agitation against the national recovery decrees.
The industrial situation throughout France is improving.  In the Valenclennes district 180,000 persons are working out of a total of 230,000.
There are still 18,000 strikers in the Lyons area, including 2000 dismissed.
Disturbances occurred at Denain, where strike leaders were arrested, including one of the seamen’s leaders at Le Havre.
The Finance Commission of the Chamber, by 26 votes to 16, rejected a proposal to submit a Bill to Parliament for a general amnesty for all connected with the strike.

New Military Planes
SOVIET DEVELOPMENT
Award of Bonuses to Designers
AVIATION ENGINEERS
An indication that Soviet aviation engineers have developed successfully new types of military planes is seen in two small items in the newspaper Pravda.
One item announces the award of bonuses of 100,000 rubles and an automobile each to three designers, Polikarpoff, Archangelsky and Ilyushin, in recognition of their “serious successes” in designing new types of aeroplanes.  These bonuses are believed to be the largest ever given for industrial achievements.
The awarding of the Red Banner of Labour to to Mikhail M. Kaganovich elder brother of Vice Premier Lazar Kaganovich has been announced, Mr Kaganovich is Commissar for the Defence Industry which builds military equipment, including aeroplanes.
This announcement was accompanied by formal congratulations from Communist party leaders on his fiftieth birthday and a letter signed by famous Soviet aviators and Commander Loktianoff of the Red Army air force.
This flier’s letter said in part:
“Your leadership of the aviation industry has won great successes in the organisation of production, the installation of new technology and the newest types of planes.”

A State contract has been let to Mr Andrew Fletcher for £150,000 for an addition to the State Fire Insurance Building in Lambton Quay, Wellington.  The work involves the demolition of the Arcadia Hotel.

200 m.p.h. Speed Expected
WINDMILL AEROPLANE
Compressed Air Propulsion
MODERN TREND
Dr George W. Lewis, director of research for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics of the United States, told the closing session of a rotating wing aircraft meeting that “windmill” type planes “definitely open the way for a wide expansion of private flying in the United Stated and abroad.”
“Rotating wing air craft to-day are at a point of development comparable to the position of fixed wing aeroplane in 1914,” he said.  “I clearly remember the reception then of the prediction that the aeroplane would fly at a rate of about 160 miles an hour.  I was as confident then that such speed would be attained as I am confident now that rotating wing craft will fly safely at 200 miles an hour.
Rate of Development.
“The rate of development of the wingless plane from this point on, however, will be much faster than it was in the case of the conventional type of aircraft.  In the first place, we have more and better trained aeronautical engineers, vaster knowledge of the subject and incomparably better equipment.
“In the last six years, we have leaned through our experiences at our laboratories at Langley Field how to increase the efficiency of the rotary blade plane by 60 per cent.
“Our chief problems to-day are improving the blades and making a hub for their attachment, which will provide maximum flexibility without flutter or vibration. I confidently believe that the next ten years will see most of the predicted developments of the rotating wing craft come true.
Use of Jet Propulsion.
Professor Montgomery Knight of the Georgia School of Technology reported on the work being done at his institution with “windmill” models.  He is now working on a rotary blade plane to derive its power by jet propulsion.  Helicopters no win use depend on energy supplied by a centrally located engine, which makes torque a problem to overcome.  The blades of Professor Knight’s model are motivated by compressed air which passes through them by hay of hollow, air-tight tubes.
Just as garden sprinklers are spun by the water they spray, so are the blades of this type turned by air seeking release.  The air used in this operation is compressed by the plane’s engine and released through the hub.
Professor Knight reported that the method reduced torque to a minimum.
Dr Max Munk of Catholic University compared the safety of fixed wing and rotating wing craft holding that for low-altitude flying the latter was much the safer.
Reduced to simple language, Dr. Munk’s paper explained why “burbly” air, which might affect a fixed wing plane, would have little or no influence on the operation of the “windmill” type.
Development of Giroplane.
Raoul Hafner, giroplane engineer, who came from England for the meeting, discussed the Hafner craft and the probable development of it in the near future.
Several persons at the meeting privately admitted that the Hafner plane was much in advance of anything of its kind in America.
Paul E. Hovgard of the Curtiss Aeroplane Company and W. Laurence LePage, Philadelphia engineer, also read papers.  Mr. Hovgard’s outlined the future of giroplanes, while Mr. LePage’s covered the helicopter in Europe.
Dr Alexander Klemin of the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, New York University, and R. A. Bailey of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics also reported on research programmes.
Following adjournment, flight demonstrations of autogiros were made at the Philadelphia airport.

Six Zulus Killed in Fight
TWO FAMILIES
47 Men Participate in Tribal Clash
BETROTHAL PARTY
A tribal fight at a Zulu betrothal  party, in which six men were killed, has resulted in 47 participants being sentenced to six months’ hard labour for fighting.
The natives belonged to two families – the Mcunus and the Dhlaminis – which were enemies as the result of a clash some years ago.
The first day of the betrothal passed off quietly with the usual cooking and eating of an ox.  According to tribal custom the head was left until the second day, to be skinned, cooked and eaten only by the closest friends and relatives.
Trouble Feared.
A headman fearing trouble, ordered the Dhlaminis to sleep in their main kraal away from their rivals, but early in the morning the blowing of horns and whistles warned him that trouble was afoot.  He saw a Dhlamini “impi” or armed man approach an Mcunu kraal and sit waiting.
Meanwhile a Mcunu “impi” had appeared from behind a hill.  After watching each other all day, the rival factions clashed in a maize field, and in a few minutes six men were killed and a number injured.
According to the evidence given in Court, women egged the men on.

An agreement has been signed in Brussels for the purpose of preventing possible incidents on the frontier between Belgium and Frances through the expulsion from either country of foreigners to whom permission to reside there is refused.  In future each Government will refrain from sending to this frontier aliens, including those of indeterminate nationality, who are refused a permis de sejour.

£1 BID FOR H. G. WELLS’ NOVEL “KIPPS”
Film Rights Sought By Writer’s Son
A slight, short, fair young man, a camera slung over his yellow blanket overcoat, recently lifted his voice in a film studio and bid for the film rights of “Kipps”, perhaps the best-loved of all of the H. G. Wells novels. And he bid… “One Pound!”
The offer was refused.  Whereupon the same young man offered £35 for the screen rights of “Kipps.”  The Country of the Blind,” “Wheels of Chance” and “Passionate Friends.”  That offer was also refused.
Son of Novelist.
The young man was Mr. G. P. (“Gip”) Wells, scientist son of the great novelist, and his offers – made as a joke of course – occurred during the sale of the old Stoll Film Studios at Cricklewood, who still hold the rights of a great many stories.
But the highlight of the sale was the film rights in 75 stories; by Wells, Wallace, Oppenheim, Orczy, Hewlett, Wodehouse and Tennyson, among others.
As the sole offers were the jesting bids of young Mr Wells it was announced that the sale of the rights would be conducted by private treaty.

Skulls believed to be either Portuguese or Dutch, have been funds [found] during excavations in the Battenburg Battery, a Dutch fort dating from 1670, Colombo.
The mutilated body of M. Abel Cassier, a secretary of the Pontoise group of trade unions, has been found on the railway line from Paris to Orleans, near Choisy-le-Roi station.  M. Cassier disappeared from his home on October 7, when he left for Paris to collect the monthly salary due to him, and was apparently killed by a train.

OKAWA: THE BIRTH-PLACE OF CHAMPIONS
Fine Yearlings For The Sales
FIRST STOCK OF IMPORTED TIDERACE
My Own’s Colt Should Stay
(By MOTUROA)
The Okawa Stud has produced so many champions down through the years that it is probably the best known of the Hawke’s Bay studs, and its continued success is a monument to the foresight of its founder, Mr T. H. Lowry, who still evinces a lively interest in his fine breeding establishment and its products.
The Turf records abound with names of horses bred at the famous Okawa Stud, and the wide success of those great gallopers, Desert Gold, Nigger Minstrel, Estland, Finmark, Balboa, Bobrikoff, Downfall, Soltano, Highland, Egypt, need no elaboration, while to-day the well-known gold silks with the blue sash are being able carried by Beaupartir, White Gold, The Crooner, Chevychase, and Millament. As well, the stock bred at Okawa and sold at the National Yearling Sales are winning big races both in New Zealand and in Australia.
Gascony, who was bred at Okawa, has been doing stud duty there for several seasons and enjoying a large measure of success, but greater interest is being invested in the stock of the new Okawa sire Tiderace, the first of whose stock will be offered at the Yearling Sales at Trentham next month.
The Okawa Stud will offer a colt and three fillies by this sire, as well as a filly by Gascony and a colt and a filly by the Elderslie sire Iliad.
Mr. J. S. McLeod, president of the New Zealand Racing Conference, will include a colt by Tiderace from My Own in his lots for the Sales.
TIDERACE, who was sired in 1932, is by Fairway, the St. Leger winner and probably the best staying son of the Polymelus horse Phalaris.
His dam was the No. 4 family mare Panic, who was a daughter of the unbeaten Hurry On (sire of Hunting Song and Defoe) from Volcanic, by Corcya (a son of Polymelus) from La Soufriere, by Robert the Devil from the St. Angelo mare St. Lucia.
In Tiderace’s pedigree there are three strains of St. Simon blood backed with a double strain of Cylene and two strains of Hampton blood.  It is a family which should leave stayers.
The writer has not seen Tiderace nor any of his yearlings, but if the yearlings show the same quality and bone that the colt foal from Gold Trail does then they should find a ready market at the sales.
Staying Family.
CONSIDERABLE interest should be taken in the bay colt by Tiderace from Slack Line (18), for not only is this colt a half-brother to the Gimcrack Stakes winner Lady Primrose and the useful Lazybones, but he comes from the Flora McIvor branch of the Manto line.  From this family have sprung the greatest stayers in the Dominion.
Slack Line was by the Radium horse Night Raid from Miss Hook a daughter of the St. Simon horse Sarto and thus the colt’s first and second maternal sires bring in further strains of St. Simon blood.
Miss Hook was bred from Monture, who won at her only start.  She was by Royal Artillery from the New Zealand Oaks Winner Lady Rosslyn (a half-sister to the New Zealand Cup winner Euraplydon and to Mistral, fourth dam of Supremacy and the Begum, dam of Mazir, Stretto and High Caste), by Lord Rosslyn from Lady Gertrude, by Cadogan from the Traducer mare No Name.
From this family come Trenton, Nightmarch, Silver Scorn, Silver Ring and Chide.
Desert Gold Family.
MARION’S BIRTHDAY (2), who was a chestnut filly by Tiderace, comes from the same family as Desert Gold, her dam D’Oro being an own sister to that great mare.
A half-sister to Birthday Party and the promising Hui, this filly’s dam is by the Tracery horse Psychology, who mares are proving great stud matrons.  Her grand-dam is D’Oro (dam of Moorland, Dorado, Haut Monde, Orozino, Doree, Gold Sand, Palace, Orofino and the Coronilla, all winners.)  She is the grand-dam of Alienist, Grand Jury, Knollmere and Princess Doreen, the last named being the best of her year.
D’Oro was by the Gallinule horse All Black from Aurarius, by Maltster from the Wallace mare, who was a sister to the Melbourne Cup winner Auraria.
Egypt, Croesus, Gold Trail, Sudan, Desert Chief, Oreum, Gold Rod and Chrysology all belong to this family.
Dam of Vascones.
TALARI (2) has a bay filly by Tiderace, who is thus a half-sister to Vascones, an impressive winner at Marton in the spring.
Talari, who was a winner, was a full-sister to Princess Doreen, who was the best two-year-old of her year and winner of the A.R.C. Welcome Stakes and G. N. Foal Stakes.  In later later years she won the Winter Cup.
Chief Ruler, the highly successful Westmere sire who took the place of Absurd as the sire of early two-year-old winners, was their sire and he was closely related to that horse being by The Tetrach from Jest, the 1000 Guineas and Oaks winner, who was an own sister to Absurd.
Talari was bred from Doree, who won the Hawke’s Bay Guineas and ran second in the New Zealand Oaks and she was by the Ard Patrick horse Lucullus from D’Oro, the second dam of Marion’s Birthday’s colt.
Desert Gold’s Sister.
AUREATE (2), the dam of a bay filly by the Fairway horse, is an own-sister to Desert Gold and Nigger Minstrel, and she was a good performer herself.  Her successes on the turf included the Woodville Juvenile Handicap, and the Dannevirke Handicap and Dannevirke Cup.
Aureate has left two good winners in Dawning Light and Aurerus, who quickly rose from the ranks to be one of the smartest gallopers in the Manawatu district last season.  Her colt by Gascony was sold at the National Sales last January for 400 gns. and this youngster, who has been named Ruka, has yet to race.
Aureate is thus by All Black, whose mares have left such good class winners as Lady Parn (G.N. Oaks), Royal Artist, Maori Song, All Humbug, Clessamor, Oreum, Haute Monde, and others.
Gascony Filly.
SYMBALLO (2) has a brown filly by the King John horse Gascony, and this youngster is thus a half-sister to Symcony and to The Crooner, one of the best staying three-year-olds last season.
Symballo is a half-sister by Psychology to Shamrock, Killashandra and Brampton, all smart gallopers, and to Catalini, the dam of the Melbourne Cup winner Catalogue, as well as the G. N. Guineas winner Paleta and the useful Vandyke.
The dam of Symballo was the imported Symington mare Symbolism, a half sister to Glass Jug, the third dam of the New Zealand Derby winner Cylinder. Symbolism was bred from Amphora (an own sister to Sundrigge, the sire of Absurd) by Amphion from Sierra (the dam of the Derby winner Sainfoin), by Springfield from the Wenlock mare Sanda, a half-sister to Instep, fourth dam of Desert Gold and Nigger Minstrel.
Eulogy Family.
COURTESY (22), whose Lord Quex filly last year realised 400 gns, has a chestnut colt by Iliad for the Sales this year and this youngster is likely to be one of the top-priced lots if he looks as good as he is bred.
His sire, Iliad, ran second in the Derby and has sired he good classic winners Homer, Greek Shepherd, Yaringa, and other good performers.  He is by Swynford from the Cicero mare Pagan Sacrifice.
Courtesy, who is a sister to Episode, Honour, Prestige, Deep Respect, Courtcraft, and Submission, and a half-sister to Worship, Heritage and Homily, was a smart galloper herself.
She was by Limond from Homage by Absurd from the famous imported Cicero mare Eulogy.
The success of every generation of this family is too well known to need repetition and the filly to be offered at the Sales is likely to bring a four figure price.
The other Iliad younger is a filly from Fintry, a young mare by Chief Ruler from Desert Gold.
My Own’s Colt.
MY OWN (5), dam of Only One and Yours Truly, who ran second at Otaki on Saturday, has a chestnut colt by Tiderace who should command a big price next month.
This mare was the best staying filly of her year, winning the Great Northern Oaks and running second in the G. N. St. Leger.  Later in her racing career she added the Tamatete Handicap and the A.R.C. Autumn Handicap to he record.  In all she won eight races and £3445 in stakes.
My Own was one of the best daughters of the Lemberg horse Lord Quex and was bred from the Oaks winner Tressida, damn of the brilliant Runnymede (N.Z. Derby), Happy Landing, Raasay, Ganymede, and Simba.
Tressida was by Tressady from Princess Melton (half-sister to the Melbourne Cup winner Piastre, and to Bee Bee, Baw Bee and Chantress.  She was by Duke of Melton from the Imported Chand Bee Bee, a mare by Royal Hampton and grand-dam of Amounis, one of the greatest horses ever raced in Australia.  He won £48,197 in stakes and ranks as the second biggest stakes winner in Australia and New Zealand, being headed only by Phar Lap.
It would not surprise to find this colt being the top priced Tiderace at the National Yearling Sales.

DEWAR’S
this Christmas
– and now,
Bill’s coming to meet me for a DEWAR’S

FRESHENED UP
Looking vastly improved by his fortnight’s spell after the Napier Park meeting, Master Cyklon is back in work at Hastings and the Hunting Song gelding looks nicely freshened up for the summer racing.  Master Cyklon is a solid performer when right and it would not surprise to find him picking up a race at the Manawatu meeting.

NORA GREGOR’S NEXT
That smart Bulandshar filly Nora Gregor, who has registered two wins, a second and a third in her six starts to date, has been having an easy time since the New Zealand Cup meeting, but she is being kept going in light work and will not be allowed to go back in condition.  Her next race will be at the Wellington summer meeting next month.

THE HAWK, the greatest stakes winner ever owned in Hawke’s Bay, amassed over £28,000 in prize money during a long racing career, and is now pensioned off. Looking hale and hearty, he is up to his knees in clover.

GOOD COMPANIONS. – The Hawk and the Australian-bred Goshawk, who were both raced by Mr J. M. Cameron, having finished their days of racing are now living on the fat of the land.

FILLY WAS LEFT UNNAMED
Withdrawal From Field At Woodville
By Telegraph-Press Association.
PALMERSTON N., Dec. 7.
The Siegfried-Left filly which accepted for the Nursery Handicap at Woodville on Saturday has been withdrawn from the field.  Her owners applied for the name Erba but it was disallowed.  They omitted to send in a further application, with the result that Wotan’s young sister is still without a name.
Under the rules of racing she must be named before she can race.
