THE AMAZING BILLA

“

The Parliamentary Correspondent: of a Home shipping paper says..

No special statement has been issued for publication as to the resnit of the deputation to Sir Eric Geddes which was held in private on Wednes day afternoon, the natural inference from this attitude of reticence is that the character of the opposition to the bill is so formable that the- Government is faced with the need of recasting its policy. Certainly, to say the least, a spirit of compromise is in the air. Whatever happens to the bill Sir Eric Geddes will surely go down in Parliamentary history as the "Pooh Bah" of politics Hist career certainly presents Gilbertian features. He has been most things by turn and nothing "long. He was several things, somewhere in France, and has gone from past to pest in England. If he achieves his arbition of directing all forms of transport by land, air and sea, he will become the Lord High Every thing of which Gilbert wrote and for whom Sullivan composed. Sir Eric is credited with possess

ing great determination' and that driving force necessary to force bills. through a reluctant-House of Commons, or to steer a coach and four through the clauses. of the subsequen: Act if such a feat seemed desirable in the national interests. Yet even this ruthless politician, of the new school was probably surprised at the strong attitude taken up by the

and the M.P.'s who supported their case at today's deputation.

· HONGKONG."

I forbear to give currency to alt

the rumours which have been in circulation this evening, preferring to await a definite pronouncement. Reference was made in yesterday's comments on the situation to the hostile attitude of road authorities, and it can be definitely stated that there is grave objection to the pro- posal to hand over the control of the national electric supply system which is to be created to the new ministry- The main reason assigned for this sect tion of the bill is that with the growth of electric traction "on railways they would be among the largest con. sumers of current. This is a piece of special pleading which is quite unconvincing, and the case for the control of the electric supply busi ness is as weak as that put forward for the absorption of dock enterprises... The feeling; among this section of threatened interests is that the elec tric supply, business if it is to be organised on sound lines will re- quire the undivided attention of a considerable department, staffed. by experts, and that it would be a fatal error to make it one of the side! lines of the "Everything Ministry." The more the proposals of the Amazing Bill to constitute it are examined, the more apparent it becomes that the framers of this measure have failed to grasp the essential elements of the transport situation: Either that, of they have gone out of their way to realise the ambition of those who would make the new department a Government despotism of an unparalleled type. In either case, whether the mistake made is due to ignorance or design. the bill cannot be allowed to go on to the Statute Book in anything like its present form.

BRADFORD WOOLLENS.

The announcement that wool and tops can now be dealt in without restriction has given satisfaction, but the question is-Where are they? It is all very well" freeing these important commodities, but nobody is in possession of them, and considerable time mus; elapse before anything from the Cape can arrive to. allow free transactions. There has been considerable business done on forward account in Cape tops, cable- grams reporting a distinctly firmer market. Cablegrams received this week intimate clearly that buyers. must have higher limits by 1d. per.lb. to enable them to operate, and where: 64's Cape tops were selling a fort night ago for June delivery at 5s."9d. the same importer is to-day naming' 6s. 1d. As a matter of fact, for a good warp article 6s. 2d. has been' made this week net in 14 days." Botha. America and Japan are reported to be buying, while two leading Brad- ford topmakers are operating exten- sively. All this indicates good business, and still more would be done if there was any certainty felt: regarding the future of wool valves, The entire industry is waiting for the Government to give lead, and it would be a good thing if Sir Arthur Goldfinch would intimate atonce what is to be the standard of values for the wools which are to be offered as the forthcomine London sales, There is no Improvement in yams or piece goods, and prices generally are still in tyres favour.
