Governor Sits As Chairman

When English Assn.

Holds Discussion

The first meeting of the English Association this season was held at the Helena May Institute yesterday when His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northeste, took the chair for the first time as President.

Tributes were paid to Sir William Hornell for the service he had undered as vice-President since, its Inception.

Mr. K. W. Salter delivered a paper on T. S. Ellot, the English poet, and discussion followed.

Mr. Salter sald his claim for Eliot simply stated, was that by his poetry and his criticism he had made possible for a sensitive and in- telligent mind to be interested once more In poetry. Poetry mattered tle to the modem world and very little of contemporary Intelligence had shown self in poetry, The in- fuence of Ellot was greater because he was a critic as well as a poet and in him the two

things reinforced, lench other.

?

After quoting at length from Eliot's works and comparing them with others, Mr. Salter said It was the emotional and fatellectual amily of our time that was the compelling motive of these poems. Eliot's virtue was not to take refuge but to make the beat of a base Job. He was a poet of a rare and penetrating emotional honesty who directed his attack against the error of putting emphasis upon the poet's feelings in- stead of on the podry.

Shanghai, Nov. 2 (7.33 p.m.), Heavy tropical rain which startled at midday, swelling the Soochow Creek and making the countryside a sea of mud, is playing in favour of the Chinese who scoff at General Matsul's prediellon that the Shang- hal area will be cleared of Chinese troops by November 10.

From an observation post in the British lines Reuter this morning watched the Japanese trying to con- solidate their foothold on the south bank of Soochow Creek, but the position there is obviously pro- carlous. Before they are able to push the drive south the Japanese inust build a bridge sumelently strong for tanks and other mechanis ed units to cross.

Rev. G. Byrne said he had read more of.Eliot's essays than his poetry and gathered from them that he was; one who harked back to tradition and made an effort to get away from material things.

Speaking on "Publicity: The Key To Prosperity" Sir Charles Higham recently said-

"The more a country, a product, or a cauro in advertised, tho moro successful it will be. Tho popularising of bread, electricity, gas, fruit and beer has boon successful due largely to the fact that the public has been informed as to the advantages of using those articles or services through the Press, which forms tho most profitable and the least exponsivo way to roach the greatest number of people in the shortest possible space of time:

and any advertiser who usos it knows it."
