LONDON LETTER

,,.._,_._;.

By Glanvllle Carew

(British United Press)

LONDON, September 20.—Every now and again there arises a howl from hyper-patriotic Gaels or Celts, "Scotland for the Scots" o": “Wales for the Welsh," and so on.

Perhaps we mere English, who rc- present quite a large proportion of the inhabitants of these isles of the hlesr. might with much more reason demand just a little share of "Eng- land for the English" when it comes to matters of government.

During this present century. which, after all. ‘has only just turn- ed thirty, we have had four Scottish Prime hlinisters; Campbell-Bennet- inan, Balfour. Boiiar-Laiv, MacDon- ald. Ami who shall say which in Mr. Asquiihls time was Prime Min- istur-Air. Asquith or his very Scot- tish consort ".\II\1'§O(,' Countess of Asquith é.- Oxford?

lt is true that iii the Cabinet of the present National Government, we have btitcne real dyed-in-tlie- uooi Scot~the Prime Minister-but let us cozisidez" the Ministers outside the inner holy of liolies. We have a Iilacm 11.110 ll/Uffl Amulrce», a Gli- riiuur. a Sinclair, u alacleun and the ltlairuurss oi Lothiaii. {Sud Ireland, (Northern Ireland be it said) gives us the lifai-qiicss of Londonderry. Jiidr-a provides us with Lord Read- ln: and Sir Herbert Samuel.

And the English? Vl/ell, there are a few ivhosc bones were bred in England. If there is such a person in the world as a “typical English- man" then stireli‘ Mr. Stanley Baldwin is that mun. And as t0 Wales? Who can say whether sir. Lloyd George will in a months time or so be a Cabinet maker or a Cabi- net breaker?

Spraking of Si‘: Herbert Samuel, who has; just been appointed Home

Secretary for the duration of this;

itittuitionally ephemeral Govern- ment. reminds ine that he has at the commencement of his period o.‘ of- fice a chance to do a fine thing; he can temper injustice with mercy. In this country we do not as a rule provide many instances of rank injustice. Taking it all in all, the criminal law ls wisely and merci- fully administered. If there arc in- stances of harshness they are usu- ally exemplified in sentences award- ed by lay country benches of Jus- tices of the Peace whose idcas cicrive more directly from 1831 than 1931. Seldom do slipcndiary’ magistrates err. But an exception occurred the other day. ' A poor rleril of a widotv-tvoinan. the mother oi a family of small ‘children. tr: mg to make a livinr‘ from a small newsvctidm‘: and gen- eral shop and a. tidy home for her family; harassed by bad trade, driv- en desperate by County Court sum-

monses and afflicted by all the mis- eries of mind suffered by an honest debtor, attempted in a moment of distraction to commit suicide. For that‘ heinous offence she was sen- tenced to three months imprison- merit.

If it be the general opinion that that stipendiary should be tarred and feathered it is for him to refute it. 1n any case it is not to be won- dered at. and sir Herbert Samuel would have the approval, o! the whole country if he sbralghtwoy quashes that sentence.

The other day in the case of a wealthy man on n. more serious point (incidentally, he was not sen- tenced) a magistrate remarked scn- tentiously and quoting I suppose the Latin Horace, that "the law steps with equal tread over the mansions of the rich and the cottages o: the poor.“ Does it indeed? Well, in this case of the widow it made a "false step. '

It is up to Sir Herbert.

Not many people are aware that within the great encircling window- less outer walls of the Bonk of Eng- land there is a. garden; a garden which has also been a burial ground.

Garden Court, although it has ex- isted since the year 1781, is not known to many Londoners by rea- son, one may imagine, of the fact that the Bank authorities are sing- ularly inhospitable to loiterers.

Among the London citizens who lie beneath the turf of the Bank Garden is one Jenkines. a. giant of '7 feet. 6 inches. Hts body was inter- red there in order to protect it from the body-snatchers who in those :days. and for long after. made a ihorrid living by dis-interring corp- ! ses in order to sell them to anato- mists. Jenkins would have com- manded a high price.

i The origin of the garden and ‘our- l ial ground is that part of the Bank lof England used to cover the site ‘or the Church of st. Christopher-

< le-Stock which ‘until about‘150 years ago fronted on to Threadneedle Street. At the time of the Garden Riots. when the bank was in dan- ger of the mob. it was feared that the church might be used by the rioters as a point of attack on the bank, and soldiers were stationed on the roof. When the Bank was enlarged in 17B! the church was taken down and its burial ground was not built over but transformed into the Garden.

And now, in 193i, because of another enlargement, Londoners are to lose the Garden they seldom 58W.

It is one of the good things of the clay that at the time when we, as o people. are supposed to be facing a serious financial crisis, we should have chosen that some time to turn the Capital into s. City of Light. While the cabinet ls working heroically to balance the Budget the citizens are out in millions to stare enthralled at such a. display of fairy buildings as London has never seen before.

Practically every one of London's 21,000 ‘Hobbies’ has been on duty trying to stop or to start the tide of vehicles and people which throng the streets from dark to midnight.

Westminster Abbey, the Cross of St. Pauls, the Marble Arch, Somer- set House, Big Ben and his Tower, the National Gallery, the Tower Bridge, the County Council Hall, St. Martins-in-the-Fields and scores of other famous places i=0 nightly bathed in light.

-PRESENTATION ‘l0 MR- P. A. ARSENAULT OF BLOOM- FlELD-Mr. P. A. Arsenault of Bloomfield, who leaves today for ‘Toronto to enter St. Augustus Sem- inary to train for the priesthood, was tendered a farewell by the al- tar boys of the Roman Catholic Church at Bloomfield last week. The boys presented Mr. Arsenault with a well filled purse and an ad- dress, regretting very much his de- parture from their midst. Mn Arsenault was an ardent worker among the boys and was always ready to help with church work. It was his special duty and pleas- ure to decorate the church and al-

boys, thirty in number, were under hLs direction and he lied trained them well in their sacred duties. In his first visit; to Bloomﬁeld, Bishop O'$ulliva.n spoke very high-

and signed by the President. It was moved and seconded that the Sec- retary write to the school supplies for a map of the World. No report from the School or Sick Committees during last month.

Some of the gentlemen of chemis- try who provide our woman folk with bottled beauty have been tell- ing us ‘how our London women are losing, or are in danger of losing their natural charms of counten- ance. Owing, one of them says, to the adoption of usages formerly sacred to the Lords of Creation. such as cricket, tennis. and. worse still, smoking. they are "becoming plalner and plalner. their faces are growing sharper. their lips pallid, protruding and twitching, the cor- ners of the mouth sag, the\eyes ac- quire a blank stare.

I am not so observant. But in any case he is not likely to make a new discovery as to results of smok- ing on those of the male persuaision. It was revealed to us yeais and years ago (when women did not smoke) by a certain Mr. Calveilt-y. of Cambridge University.

His work on this occasion was highly praised. l-Ie was responsible for the boys in the procession and in ad- dition had arranged for six little girls to strew roses in the path of the procession preceding the Bless- ed Sacrament. Many commented on this beautiful feature of the ceremonies. Mr. Arsenaullﬁs many friends will watch with interest his progress in Toronto University. B-
