SIR KYNASTON STUDI'S POPULAR ELECTION

STRANGE SCENE

Alderman Sir Kynaston Studd has been chosen as Lord Mayor of London in succession to Sir Charles Batho for the civle year beginning on November 8. The election took place in Guildhall. The proceedings were not of the formal character usual on such occasions. Unlike most of his predecessors, Sir Ky. naston Studd has not spent a life- time in the City., It was not until 1921 that he took part in civic affairs, and to have reached the position of Chief Magistrate in seven years is a unique achieve ment.

To all the questions Sir Harold re- plled in the negative.

When he was invited to stand as Sheriff in 1921 his friends said that he had no chance, but thanks to the many "Poly" men in the City, to his Masonic friends, and those who knew him as a cricketer, he was elected. "As there was no. Alder- manic Sheriff that year, and as that year had thus been lost for the qualifying of an Alderman for the Mayoralty," Sir Kynaston explain- ed, "I felt it my duty to seek elec- tion as Alderman, and I was return- ed in succession to Sir William Waterlow at Farringdon Without."

Cricket Entertainments

Sir Kynaston has no fixed ipten- tions regarding his year of office beyond the ordinary routine as the official dispenser of the City's hos- pitality, but as the first cricket "Blue" to occupy the Mansion House, he intends to arrange somo Bort of cricket entertainments dur ing the year. He is the second Old Etonian to be Lord Mayor, and an other Idea he has in mind is the arranging of Old Etonian gather- ings at the Mansion House, During the coming civle year the City will: have a Russian Princess as Lady Mayoress, for Lady Studd was formerly Princess Alexandra Lde The Recorder (Sir Ernest Wild, RC) opened the proceedings in the Guildhall, and explained to the

In returning thanks for his elec- tion, the Lord Mayor-elect Buld that Sir Harold had acted entirely on his own initiative, and had never been asked or even received a hint from him (Sir Kynaston) to withdraw his name. "Whatever decision the Livery might have made it would have been for me, final and satis- factory. The more 'veteran' a sportsman is, the less is he inclined to question the umpire."

There were symptoms, however, that the birth-rate in Italy was In- creasing again in consequence of his energetic measures. "If the cam- paign to increase the birth-rate is not successful," he concludes, “the Fascist revolution will have been in vain, because at a certain moment fluids, schools, factories, barracks, and ships will be deserted."

Black and Yellow Peril Signor Mussolini Bays in his article:

That which once happened can happen again, and not merely be. tween elty and country, but on s greater scale. The white races of the West may be submerged by the coloured races, which multiply in a rhythm unknown to our peoples. Blacks and yellow are now at the gates, strengthened not alone with their fecundity, but also by their race conscious- neas and their dreams of the future.

Does not a united China of 400,000,000 signify something in the future of the Occident? What does Russia's increase signify for the rest of Europe?
