London, November 15. GERMAN ELECTORAL SYSTEM". Polling in the new German elections will be simplified by the fact of there being only one party in the running. and by the fact that it will be both difficult and unwise not to vote for that party, Nevertheless, the system is still a trifle complicated to English

A REFERENDUM

are

In the old days of the "splinter parties," when there were thirty- seven parties in the field, the position was hopelessly complicated by tiny fractions.

There were, for example, such groups as the "Saxon Land and Householders' party," and the party for "Maximum salaries of officials, 5,000 Reichsmarks; for the unem- ployed; and the War victims hit- herto spurned."

As only one party's candidates are now standing, these new elect- ions constitute a referendum, the number of votes cast and the number of Herr Hitler's men elected being the index of his popularity. PRINCE LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM

Between 7.36 and 8 o'clock, when the doors of the Chamber are open, quite a number of Parliamentary representatives arrived.

Fort Natal, December 7. The Lindberghs were accorded. an enthusiastic welcome by Gov- ernment representatives and B large, crowd pincluding the full force of the American Residenta, Mrs. Lindbergh was laden with flowers by admirers andʼania -she- was pleased to be the first-woman to fly the South-Atlantic!

The fight was helped by trade winds and Col. Lindbergh was most gratined at the performance of the machine and the success of the wireless arrangements, by which they were kept in constant communication with the different stations on this side. The Lind CHEER FOR LADY ASTOR

Eight o'clock found about 40. members including 10 women, waiting to enter.

On the first 'stroke of eight the door opened, but there was no rush 1-into the Chamber this time, mem – bers entering decorously. ~ Within a couple of minutes they had deposited their "cards on their seats and had departed.

FULLY RECOVERED According to the offelal' an- nouncement of the composition of a Committee, of Investigation set up by the Minister of Agricul- ture, Mr. C.J.C. Palmount is des- cribed as senior partner of Whin- ney, Smetburst and Co. the char- tered accountants.

Mr. Palmour is also sentor part- ner of the senior London firm of Whinney, Smith

and Whinney.

It struck me as strange that the name of the associate firm in Manchester should have been used, When the Duke of Brabant-especially as Mr. Palmour has his Prince Leopold of Belgium-comes office in the City "to London for the dinner of the African Society next Thursday, he will be welcomed by many English friends. Among them will be the Prince of Wales, who will propose his health.

Prince Leopold speaks English perfectly. This is only, natural, for during the war he spent some time as the guest of the late Lord Curzon at Kedleston, Later he was at Eton with the Duke of Gloucester:

His interest in Africa is by no means academic. He has just returned from the second of two- trips to that Continent. There he made a close study of conditions in British possessions, as well as In the Belgian Congo, the land which Leopold II. "created."

His wife, who is coming with him, was formerly Princess Astrid of Sweden.

In the early days of their mar- rlage the Duchess could speak Nttle French and the Duke no Swedish, Bo.. they used English as a means of communication. M.P.S LONG WATT FOR DOORS TO OPEN

Nearly 18-hours before the Speak er was due to take his seat at the reassembly of Parlament yesterday the first member arrived at West- minster.

That was at half-past eight on Monday night. The member was Lieutenant-Colonel J.M. Mayhew. who represents East Ham North.. Between 8.30 and 10 p.m. Mr. W.S. Liddall, M.P for Lincoln, and Mr. AL Bateman, member for North Camberwell, also arrived As each came along he was in- formed that for record purposes attendances before midnight did not count, and all 'ultimately went away...

Colonel Mayhew, however, who has previously been the first mem- ber on the scene, was determined to maintain his reputation for Early attendance, and as Big Ben chimed midnight he returned and was admitted,

Aare had been lighted in the Library of the House, and as Colonel Mayhew was preparing for hir, all-night vigil he was joined by Mr. W. M'Keng, MP for Durham,

Lord Long Of Wraxall, who will marry Miss Laura Charteris at 8t Margaret's. Westminster, on Tues- day, will, I hear, leave immediate- ly afterwards by the overland route to Toulon!

There be and Lady Long wil board, the Orama en route for New Zealand, where Lord Long will take up his appointment as A.D.C. to the Governor-General, Lord Bledlsiçe,

This appointment will last two years-until, in fact, Lord Bled- istoe's term expires—and should be delightful one.
