OUR LONDON LETTER. WHY THE WEMBLEY EXHIBITION MUST CLOSE THIS YEAR

[FROM OUR OWN CORRISPONDENT.]'

LONDON, September 4th.

ME. W. MASSINGRAM.

English journalism as last a nutable fgure in the death of Mr. Et. We Massing- ham, who held the position of editer of the Nation troux 1907 till 1821 He begun his career in London in the late eighties as assistant editor of the Star, then re- cently started by Mr. T. P. O'Conner, M.P. and later became successively editor of the Daily Chronicle and the thily News: To his friends and members of his staff he was a kindly, sympathetic, understanding kind of man; but us » writer he was a formidable person, who never hesitated to denounce in unquali Bed style men or causes that he believed were unworthy of support in the interests of the country.

All his life Massingham wal na ad- vanced Liberal, and in late. years he gravitated towards Labour politics, so that in the end he had to, sever his con, nection with the Nation, the proprietors of which could not accept his advocacy of Lahour politics. But he commanded respect in an age when the tendency in journalism is so much towards the com inercialisation of newspapers; journalists respected him as a literary craftsman of a high order," and his readers for his honesty.

WEMBLEY EXHIBITION ONE YEAR ONLY,

It is now fairly safe to say that the British Empire Exhibition will close down this year. The proposals to keep it open met with a good deal of support in the Press, and it is believed that the public would have been glad to learn that it would be possible to "Wemble again in 1093. But for financial reasons the great show will not be continued another year. The British Government guaran- teed £3,000,000. for the expenses. of the Exhibition itself, and for some of the

Then the Dominion Governments have naturally a big word to say in the matter: and it is understood that they are not. prepared to go on again. As matters stand at the time of writing, something like 18,000,000 visitors are still required to make the Exhibition a paying proposi tion; and with only a couple of months to run before the date fixed for closing: the doors it is a foregone conclusion that this number will not be reached.

It is also a fact and I am on sure ground in setting the fact down-that frins in the great industries although pleased with the business that has resulted a prescht from the Exhibition, and also with the prospect of orders that will come in later, are not quite satisfied. They expected that order would have been bigger and more nubieróna.

The strike, which arose out of a demand-for a guaranteed weekly wage of 245.0, fixed working day, overtime after eight hours, with a minimum of 10/- for casual labour, has lasted three weeks; and the workers are beginning to see that they have been fooled. The fact is that per- ters at Covent Garden earn good money. The work cannot be called skilled in the same way that one talks of the work of engineers or shipwrights. It is true that they are able to carry great loads on their heads, bat. this is knack rather than skill

We have had lightning" strikes like this before, but on a much bigger scale, and the Transport and General Workers' Union responsible for what happened made the blunder of thinking that by paralysing Covent Garden market, which is the great distributing centre of London for fruit and vegetables, the public sup- ply of the Metropolis in these foodstuffs would be held up. Nothing of the kind happened. Consignments arrived in quantities, and the salesmen improvised stals to handle the stuff, so that there was no scarcity and no increase in prices to the consumers. Thus the intention of the Union failed in effect. It was hoped that the inconvenience of a famine in I green vegetables and fruit in the Summer would have been so great that the public would have insisted upon a settlement of the dispute in a manner, as the strikers hoped, favourable to "them.

Only a proportion of the men will ever get work again at the mar ket, because their places have already been filled, and also and chiefly be cause owing to the strike arrangements that have been made for sending supplies direct from the producers to the retailers will be continued, so that à considerable. portion of trade has been permanently lost Covent Garden,

THE FUTURE OF THE GOVERNMENT.

The signs and porteats in the political firmament are all pointing to trouble for the Government when Parliament meeta A superficial observer might imagine that there will be big row over the Trisk Treaty Bill designed to settle the differ- ences between Ulster and the Free State. It has figured largely in the newspapers, and there has been the usual appeal to save the loyaliste of the North of Ireland from injustice. But the Conservative Party at any rate is not going to let the Irish issue be the dominating factor in the next General Election; and as for the Liberals they, too, are sick of the political Irish stew.
