(Special Air Mail Service)

London, May 1.

It is learnt that one of the cen tral features of this year's Royal' Academy, the private view of which takes place on May 5, will be a full-length portrait of Sir James Dunn painted by Mr. Richard Bickert.

The portrait is regarded as one 01 Mr. Bickert's, most brilliant achievements. In it he portrays Fir Jarties, clad in a blue suit and collar, standing, cigar in hand, be- fore a red chair, which the artist added as an afterthought.

Mr. Sickert, who is 74, was elect- ed an R.A. on March 6, when Mr. George Henry became a Senior Academician.

PARLIAMENTARY GOLF DRAW

Sir John Simon apparently the only. Minister competing this year in the Parliamentary Golf Handi- cap, plays in the first round Mr. Ceoffrey Mander, who has been consistently curious on Foreign Affairs at question time in the Ilouse of Commons.

From a glance through the draw I should say that the Prince of Wales, who agath starts from a handicap of 11, should have A good chance of getting through several rounds.

His first opponent is Mr. Lees Jones, Thereafter the most ob- vious hazards in his path, are pre- sented by Sir' Emsley Carr. Bir Arthur Steel Maitland and Capt. Moore-Brabazon, who narrowly defeated him in the semi-final last year.

THE PROBLEM OF PEACE

I see that Sir Charles Petrie, in his little book.."The British Pro- blem," published to-day. quotes George Canning's Instructions to his cousin Stratford as being the only true principal of British po- licy. Writing in 1824, the then Foreign Secretary sald:
