THE CHINA MAIL,
In the House of Commone the recent events and British relations with King Ibn Saud formed the subject of a number of questions to Ministers.

Mr. Amery: It is maintained chiefly at Ibn Saud's own head- quarters, but there are also oppor tunities of diplomatic contact at Cairo.

HIS BANNED PICTURE OF
NUDES.
THE GRUNDIANS.
A long-standing subject of con- troveray-the suitability of ex- hibiting in public galleries pictures of the nude-has been revived by the banning of Mr. Ernest
Procter's picture "The Judgment'
of Paris," by the curator of the Northampton Art Gallery, Mr. Re- ginald W. Brown.
The picture, which was recently
exhibited at Birmingham, showa the shepherd Paris, who, in the Greek legend, was called on to award a golden apple to the fair- est of the three goddesses, Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena. The three goddesses, nude, are seen awaiting the shepherd's judgment.
Mr. Procter's Position. Mr. Brown has refused to dis- cuss his decision and Mr. Procter writes as follows to The Dally. Mail" from North Corner, Newlyn, Penzance:
(1) That Ibn Saud refrained, and restrained his adherents, from aggressive action against the Hejaz, Kuweit, and Irak.

Offer of a Conference, Replying to Mr. Buxton (Lab. Soc., Norfolk, North), Mr. Amery said there was no evidence that Ibn Saud was directly responsible for the recent raids by Akhwan tribes into Irak territory, which, however, it would be scarcely cor- rect to describe as an invasion.
His Majesty's Government had been in frequent communication with King Ibn Saud. As long ago as last December they suggested that a meeting should be arrang- Pinkettes are laxative perfection; ed at a convenient spot between they ensure daily regularity, quick- his Majesty and the British Resi-ly banish sick headaches, billous dent in the Persian Gulf to discuss attacks, flatulence; keep the skin any matter in dispute.

The pictures at Northampton have been publicly exhibited in London, and many of them repre duced in the Press, without any ad verse comment. The question
sue is, therefore, not of the in-. tures, but of the intrinsic in- dividual indecency of these pic- decency of the human figure.
Mr. Brown and his Grundian supporters consider God guilty of If Mr. immorality do not. Brown is right, every public col- lection in England should be im- mediately closed or purged of prac- fically all Egyptian, Greek, and Indian art, and of most of the old European masters.
Mr. Brown's attitude has re- duced sculpture in England to a dend art and driven such men as Mr. Epstein from the country. It induces people to look at pictures as anything but art. Over and above this he even refuses to give his reasons, and I would point out: that this is personally damaging} to me.
