THE CORONET
ANGLO-SOVIET TREATY.
VIEWS OF SIR ERIC GEDDES.
Sir Erie Geddes, President of the Feilen ration of British Industries, being inter- viewed, bitterly attacked the Russian Treaty. He said thai tho Federation felt that the Treaty represented the sur render of rights and principles which were essential to the welfare British indua-
try. Pointing out gross obscurity in what he declared to bu the Treaty's preamble, be said that the Soviet had been
diplomatic immunity, and then the Tr seems to say that Russians are subject to the Courts of Great Britain.
Then the Treaty says that Russia will
we no security for obeying the orders of those Courts. It is therefore impossible to sy what position the British firms will bo in. It looked as though a complete mes- sure of immunity from the ordinary lawa of commerce in Great Britain was being given to the Soviet Trade Commissioners. who in return promise something un- known, while we are promising some thing very well defined in the shape of many millions. Sir Eric Geurles added that apparently funtis of the old Russian regime amounting to £15.000.000 which remained in England were going to bo turned over to "the Soviet.
GEORGE FORMBY THE SECOND.
COMEDIAN'S SON LEAVES THE
TURF FOR THE STAGE...
Music-ball history repeated itself loat month. when George Formby, jun., at the Alhambra, essayed the conquest of London, just as his father did years ago. and with the same Wigan brand of humour.
The story of how young Formby came to adopt a stage career is a curious in- version of moet narratives of this nature. Formby did not originally yearn to follow in father's foot-steps. All his am bitions were centred upon becoming a jockey, and at the age of nine he began bis first acquaintance with the stables.
Formby, sen., himself a fervent devotee of the Turf, encouraged the youth; and eventually apprenticed him to an Irish trainer at the Curragh, where he (the father) had four horses of his own in training.
" HIS FIRST SADDLE.
It was here that Danny Maber, the famous jockey. presented young Formby with his arst saddle. Lerd Derby, a keen admirer of the Formby humour, took an interest in the lad and promised him a mount, a promise which was eventually kept to the mutual satisfaction" of the respective parties.
After four years at the Curragh he came back to England and was at New- market for awhile. Afterwards he went to Malton, the great Yorkshire training centre. He was there when his father died three years ago.
Th circumstances necessitated change of plans, and he decided to go on the stage and carry on the family tradi- tion. This was the more astonishing fres the fact that he had never seen his father on the stage. »
He has managed, however, to give a reproduction of the Formby style and mannerisms sufficiently convincing, allied to natural sense of humour. to obtain widespread recognition.
When he made his stage debut his open-

A happy good nature
If everyone did a bit towards making condi tions better for others less fortunate, there would be more happy people, sir.
