Disarmament.

Finnily, in the matter of disarma- ment, the League after ten years of constant study and effort is much further along than is generally realized.

During the past years its Pre- paratory Disarmament Commission completed the second reading of the first draft Convention for the

He had only himself to thank when the first question sent up showed that "the questioner had misunderstood one of his peints, and the audience probably sympathised more with the questioner than with Mr. Shaw's protest that “ this was how a quite innocent question could be misinterpreted." But it was very good fun while it lasted, and it lasted for nearly an hour and a half.

Mr. Shaw, said that everyone knew the present political machin ery could not work a Socialist arstem. It could not, indeed, work the present system, and that was a fact that women realised. Mrs. Snowden, instead of accepting the obsolete working of the party sy toin, had suddenly seized the heads of Mr. Thomas, Mr. Lloyd George, and Mr. Baldwin, knocked them to- gether and said, What in heaven do you three think you are doing?"

She knew a great deal about thei unemployment question, and knew that one great difculty was that a large number of the unemployed were unemployable. Wanting to get something done she took ve Rolice of the fact that anything done must be done by Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, and that all Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Baldwin had to do was to prevent his doing it.

He added that a good play might he made called The Fury of Ellen Wilkinson.” She was furious at seeing the little bit of business about widows' pen sions, which could have been dis posed of by any decent assembly in an hour or two, leading to all-night eittings. That appalling waste of time was part of the party system.

"My friend Margaret, Bondfield, who goes on with a big job, finds herself not in the position of a leader of thought but in that "of a maid-of-all-werk in 111 enormous house with no labour-saving con- trivance.

The time will come when Mr. Maxton will be in the Cabinet and he will find himself up against the same obstructions."

The Prince of Wales went to Leyton to open the new school, He made a round of the classrooms, and when he entered the matricula- tion form of the school Gill stood up and asked the Prince for his Autograph.

The Prince, who had chatted to the boys, patted the lad on the shoulder and said:-

He returned to school on, the Monday, and was summoned to ap pear before the headmaster, who in formed him that the Prince was annoyad at the incident.

You must go home at once," he was informed.

The headmaster later sont a letter to the boy's parents which stated:

He added that he would express no opinion until the parents had been seen, and that he had acted only after prolonged consideration.

The headmaster, in a letter to Mr. H. Heather, chairman of the governors of the school, in which he reported the incident, said that the boy had acted in spite of instruc- tions that no boy was to leave his place during the Prince's visit. This instruction was given in order to stop such incidents as that which nccurred.

Gill said

The Prince was so nice, and the way in which he explained why he could not grant me such a favour made me think more than over what a fine fellow he is.

"Nothing was said" about the matter, and it was quite a shock when I was haled before the ' þead." I had stated my intention of asking the Prince for his autograph to my father and a number of my boy. friends at school, and they all seemed to think that it would be all right.
