IN MADRID

UNCERTAINTY IN POLITICAL FIELD

Madrid, Dec. 17. Although Senor Lerroux, the Socialist leader, has agreed to form a Cabinet, which is likely to include Senor · Barrios, the ex- Premier, there is common talk of the possible return of ex-King Alfonso.

The ultimate outcome of the political situation is very obscure.

Senor Lerroux will find it dif ficuit, if not impossible to secure a working majority in

the new Cortes.

It is thought to be conceivable that, his

agreement to form a Cabinet may be a manoeuvre to Rocure the dissolution of the Cortes and either a new election, A organised in a different manner from the Inst, or government with Cortes may follow.

OBSERVERS AT LOSS..

at loss in their attempt to predict Spanish political observers are developments. They confess that no-one can foreshadow with any degree of confidence what would happen in any given circumat-

nnces.

Although twice the size of Great Britain, Spain has only half Bri- tain's population and 52 per cent. of her inhabitants are illiterate.

**I would like to collaborate with Miss Atkins in saying that the most Important thing is the spirit in which the work is done," she said.- The fiery Individualism of the "I am particularly glad to see Spanard is illustrated by the fact that Fairies has now joined as a [that, in the recent elections for the separate branch and has a repro- 470 seats in the Cortes, 7,000 candi- sentative on the Committee.

dates, representing altogether 44 parties, entered the fray.

"I would like to suggest that other members of other children's cluba in Hongkong be asked to come and see what was being done by their Chinese sisters."

Mr. Chan Kai and a party of friends enjoyed an excellent day's deer-hunting in the New Territor ica yesterday. The party set out from the Shing. Mun district early in the morning with a number of beaters, and during the day, no fewer than nine deer were located, five of which fell to the guns.

A large area was covered dur- ing the day, the party not return ing until after dark with what is believed to constitute a record bag.

Azana Cabinet in the past two years have dooply outraged the instincts of the people and have made many of them look back upon the period when Alfonso occupied the throne as a golden era.

While it is agreed that the nature of the Spaniard is equally remote from Fascism as it is from demo- eracy on British lines, a period of virtually oligarchical administra- tion is thought possible to reform the constitution; and, when the time is ripe, it is expected that a nations! nl referendum w be held to decide whether or not the mon- | |archy skould be revived.

MRS. J. R. WOOD PERFORMS OPENING CEREMONY

The annual schoot bazaar, with all its attendant attractions, of the Diocesan Girls was opened by Mrs. J. R. Wood, wife of His Honour the Acting Chief Justice, on Saturday afternoon in the 'hall of the Diocesan Giris: School

The Side stalls were littered with articles made by the pupils and the many other attractions, includlog a miniature golf course, coconut shy; rides on a donkey and a short play by the scholars, were well 'patronised by a large number of the pupils' parents and friends. In the evening a flannel dance was weli attended,

In opening the proceedings Mrs. Wood expressed pleasure at having beon naked to perform the core- mony and recalled her visit to the School thirteen years ago when the" Diocesan Girls' School was the first she had visited on her arrival in the Colony. Then she had accompanied Lady Kemp and had her first ex- perience of visiting a school in which Chinese and European girls attended. Birs. Skipton was the headmistress then and since that time enormous changes had taken place.

Before concluding Mrs. Wood wished the scholars a Happy Christmas and New Year.

Mrs. Wood drew attention to the short, play which was being given by the pupils entitled "The Perfect Family" adapted from the book "Little Women."

Little Miss Jenn Keith presented Mrs. Wood with a basket of flowers in honour of the occasion.
