LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

COMPREHENSIVE AGENDA FOR COUNCIL MEETING.

PERMANENT MANDATES,

'F

LONDON, October. 13 A meeting of the Council of the League of Nations at Brussels, on October 20 has before it a most comprehensive agenda, including the constitution of permanent mandates.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS.

ADHERENCE TO THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL.

MOSCOW'S CONDITIONS CONSIDERED.

BERLIN, October 11. Over 500 delegates attended the Independent Socialist Congress opened at Halle to-day to decide the acceptance or rejection of Moscow's conditions for adherence to the Third International Herren, Dittmann and Brass, representing the opponents and adherents, respecti

Herr Crispies, chairman of the Party ively, were elected Presidents.

declared that the main issue was whether the party should retain its present character or be absorbed in the Communists. Decision has been! temporarily reserved.

STRIKE THREAT.

MINERS STRONGLY AGAINST DATUM LINE PROPOSALS.

THE NEXT MOVE,

LONDON, October 13. Although the full results of the micers' ballot will not be known till to-morrow, sufficient figures are to hand to show that the majority of miners throughout the country have disregarded Mr. Smillie's advice to give the mine-owners' offer a trial and have plumped heavily against the datam fire proposals. The majorities range from 10 to 1 in parts of South Wales and 2 to 1 in Northumberland.

The next move lies with the executive of the Miners' Federation which is meeting in lenden tomorrow, when the moderates will put up a big fight in favour of peace by renewed negotiations and urge that the wages claim should be submitted to an impartial tribunal. It is believed that this suggestion will be carried through, which will mean that another ballet by the men will probably be taken and the strike is certain to be postponed If not abandoned.

DIVIL AVIATION.

WHAT THE COLONIES MUST DO.

IMPERIAL SYSTEM.

LONDON, October 12.

A three-days' conference, promoted by the Air Ministry, was opened at the Guildhall for the prupose of reviewing the progress of civil aviation. Major-General Sykes opened the discussions, declaring that the watchwords ́of aerial navigation must be "safety and reliability." He express d the opicion that mails formed the basis of civil aviation from which the constructional and transport aspects would develop. He considered that the outs of licking up the Empire did not rest with Britain alone, but each Dominion and Colony must form its own sucleus of air development and thus gradually build up a complete system. With regard to the key routes of the imperial system as from England to Egypt and Egypt to India be advocated the trial ot a commercial day and night service on the former

soute.

Mr. Churchill, presiding at the luncheon, said the Government intend- ed to help civil aviation by every means in their power, but in the main civil aviation must fy by itself and the function of the Government was to facilitate and stimulate its action. He declared his conviction that the future of British aviation would be great and bright.

The General Committee decided to again open the Club to approved bathing members and a very success- ful season ensued.

.

The usual bathing and dressing facilities were provided, and the arrangements, especially the electric fans, were much appreciated by the 84 persons who joined.

A pleasing feature of the season has been the number of children who, with their parents, have made use of the Beach.

It is satisfactory to note that the sand beach is improving every year as a result of the attention paid to it. REPORT OF THE ROWING COMMITTEE. The Rowing last season was very, successful from every point view, A number of new members entered whole-heartedly into the Sport, and a very successful Regatta was held at the Club House on Saturday, the 28th February.
