London May 8.

The Grand Cross of the Military Order of Savoy which the King of Italy has awarded to Signor Mussolini was bestowed on him at the weekly audience which the King grants the Duge.

This audience takes place at the Quirinal regularly every Thursday morning. The King, of course, receives the Duce in audience at any other time should affairs de-

mand it.

The Grand Cross of the Military Order of Savoy is the highest Italian military

order. It has fewer than half-a-dozen living holders. One of these is Marshal Badoglio,

FLAG DAYS

I see that the Geneva police had a busy day removing the Italian Cags which were flying from private houses and Hats to celebrate the Italians' entry into Addis Ababa.

Swiss regulations allow national naga to be flown from privata houses on national anniversaries An Englishman, for instance. could fly the Union Jack on St. George's Day, a Frenchman nis tricolour on July 14.

At other times special perms- sion must be obtained. This was refused in the present instance.

There are no such rules in this country. Apart from certain flags, such as the Royal Standard and the White. Ensign, anyone, I believe, whether or not a British subject, can display, at any time. his own or any other nation's flag from his private house, or his business premises.

TIP FOR THE CHARITABLE'

The adaptation of the proverb. "Cast thy bread upon the waters chat it may return as buttered toast," must have occurred to those charitably disposed persons who attended the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Institution din- ner on Wednesday,

Lord Stanley, who presided, an- nounced that £1,055 had been collected at the dinner, but that the sun, should be made up to £2.000.

While Mr. Silkin held meetings at which the big guns from the Socialist party thundered, Captain Harvey confined himself almost entirely to house-to-house vis.ta.

By working a ten-hour day he

reckoned that in this way he had made personal .contact with a third of his supporters during the contest. He was helped in this by a pcked body of Conservative Metropolitan Area canvassers,

The fact that the Bocialist poll except for 1931-was- che amaliest on record upholds the view of those who belleve that canvassing is much more important than public meetings n electioneering technique.
