MOTHER PAYS £6,000 TO DEFRAUDED MEN

"Is it better to rob your mother or a moneylender?"

This question was asked by Mr. Justico Swift at Liverpool Assizes last month when Jolin Reginald Larking, 41, son of Lady Larking and

the Inte Sir John Larking, Was sont to penal servitude for four years..

Larking was charged, along with Willlum Peter, 63, and Estyn Apsi- mon, with frauds on a Liverpool money lender, Mr. Samuel Harris, by forged share certiflentes, Apal- mon was sentenced to three years' penal servitude, and Porter to seven days' imprisodment, which meant his immediate release.

Mr. Maxwell Fyfe, for the pro-i secution, said Larking”got various advances from Harris on the strength of the forged certificates. Apsimon's part in the fraud was to secure the printing of the seals

and share certificates.

In April, 1934, the solicitors for Lady Larking paid £3,826 to settle nil the amounts outstanding with Harrie

Mr. Justice Swift: I am inter- ested to know whether it will be raised as an excuse that the moneylender has not lost anything, and that it is only the mother who has been robbed.

Mr. Fyfe, continuing, said that Mr. A. J. Schofield, a Liverpool commission agent, advanced Lark- Ing £2,000 as a friendly transaction on the strength of a share certi- ficate which later turned out to be forged. He

The total amount advanced to Porter was £4,530. He handed the money to Larking and received only small amounts in return.

Writes On England

"THE GATEWAY INTO

THE WORLD"

Berlin, Feb. 4..

The anxiety of many Germans to realise their national ambitions through friendship with England is expressed by Dr. Rudolf Kir- cher, Editor of the influential Frankfurter Zeitung, in an ap- parently inspired article.

"One can safely say," he writes, "that French policy is not at all popular in England. But unfortunately Germany has not thereby come any nearer to the English. We regret the dis- tance, for we Germans feel re- lated to the English, and for us England is the gate into the world.

Lansbury To Tour

United States

ANTI-WAR CRUSADE

London, Apr. 4.

One of Britain's most beloved characters, "old George" Lans- bury who led the Labour party for so many

years, will sail aboard the Berengaria April 13 to carry his crusade against war across the United States.

His American lecture tour, ar- ranged by the Federated Fence, Councils of the United States, calls for six weeks of engagements.

Accompanying him will be Dr. Alfred Salter, Quaker doctor and member of Parliament who also will lecture on behalf of world-wide i penco. The Federated Peace Coun ells sought to persundo Dr. Maude Royden, 60-year-old feminist leader of Great Britain, to accompany Lansbury and Dr. Salter.

The "Jane Addams of England" rejected the offer, however, becauso of previous plans to visit Canada later this year.

Mr. J. C. Jackson, who appeared for Larking, said in reply to Mr. Justice Swift: "I am not going to зау that Larking robbed mother. He certainly proyed upon; "Mr. Lansbury and myself will her love and sympathy."

It is also well known that this rearming contri- butes not a little towards the re- vival of home industry. Prepara- tion for defence is simultaneously an educative process of great importance.

"Nevertheless, this enormous re- arming is not an end in itself, but i is forced upon by the attitude of the others. Germany will not wreck any honest schome for the limitation of armaments."

"Colonics"

Recalling that both Birt Samuel Hoare and Mr. Baldwin have proclaimed the League of Nations' willingness to alter by treaty conditions that are likely sooner or later to disturb the pence of Europe, Dr. Kircher adds that Herr Hitler has de manded the revision of only those clnuses of the Treaty of Versailles that rob Germany of "equality."
