Woman Lawmaker Has Secret Bill

MISS FLORENCE HORSBRUGH, humorous- eyed Conservative M.P. for Dundee, admitted recently that she is busy working on a Bill, the subject of which she refuses to reveal.

She talked of this after the afternoon session of the Social Hygiene Congress in London, at which she presided, and she did not deny the suggestion that her Bill would, if it became law, benefit working-class mothers and children.

Miss Horsbrugh, who has been eight years in Parliament, already has two Bills to her credit.

The first, passed in 1937, controis the sale of methylatert spirit and so reduces enses of alcaliolic polsoning. The second--the Adoption of Children (Regulation) Bill-She expects"at ly moment" in receive the Royal Assent,

When prominent men in soelat hygiene and medicine praised her work, she said naively. "Thank you, I love being praised. It is such a change from all the criticism one Hels."

Miss Horsbruth spoke in favour of boarding out children instead of send- ing them to institutions, but agreed with speakers who advocated the compulsory training of foster mothers. "I believe the time of the institu- tion is a time of the past." she said, "The child needs a happy home life in natural surroundings."

ALLEGED BORDER TENSION

on

Hitler's intention of assuming supreme command of the Reichswehr hus worried the military experts, who voice their objections to his plan, using strictly technical arguments.

ON THE SPOT

General Wetzel, Germany's leading military publicist, is more outspoken in an article which he contributes to ❘ the "Militariche Wochenblatt," organ

of the Reichswehr,

He strongly opposes the view that it will be possible in wartime to unite military and political leadership,

The times are gone, Wetzel says when a military commander was able to direct operations from a point fur behind the lines. Modern warfare moices it necessary for him to be on the spot.

Ludendorf during the Great War was forced to devote so much time to affairs that were not strictly military that he was not able to keep in close contact with his subordinates.

Britain Has Secret War Apparatus

BRITISH naval authorities feel that, with apparatus now in their possession, they can hunt submarines and make certain of finding them.

Ear! Stanhope, First Lord of the Admiralty, made thie statement in the House of Lordsrecently when he replied to a resolution, moved by Lord Mottistone, advocating the abolition of submarines.

Earl Stanhopo said the naval authorities' view, that we could make certain of finding submarines, was shared by other nations. "I do not think they have got this apparatus or any- thing like it," he said.

"When this country declared that if the submarine attacks in the Mediterranean continued we should be justified in sinking any submarines in that area, the submarino attacks promptly stopped."

"That was a recognition that this country could deal with that question."

Earl Stanhope said that this Gov- ernment had failed to achieve even a modicum of agreement on the abolition of submarines, and they be

lieved that the use of submarines illegitimately and contrary to ali ordinarily tempting in the event of rules of naval warfare, was extra-

A lending article in a morning paper, the China Times, has the sub- title of "Whither Goes Britain?".

The paper states that the occupa tion of Shumchun has no milltary value, except for the purpose of pre- venting vegetables from reaching the British colony.

The paper adds that if it were not for the British compromlac with re- gard to the Shanghai Customs, there would have been по Tientsia blockade.

The strong criticism of this idea by Germany's most distinguished mili- tary publicist throws light on the dimeulties still existing between party and army in Nazi Germany.
