ONE MAN ONE JOB.

BY SINBAD. The conference habit lias grown on our leaders, that much by the cables is shown, they seem to consider that Britain will need us, and can’t manage things on her own. A conference soon of the nations allied is to meet on the question of debt. The principal thing that they have to decide is how’ cash from the Germans to get, and one would think Britain could manage the matter and not for New Zealand help look. But no, for now rise up as mad as a hatter, Commissioners Allen and Cook. Says Cook, *‘ I must put in a word for Australia, for she in the matter should share. I’m sure that the conference will be a failure, unless Mr Bruoo should be there.” And then Jimmy Allen comes in with the chorus, il AVith Cook I’m entirely agreed. I’m sure that with problems so weighty before us Bill Massey’s th© man that we need.” Oh! Massey’s a fellow of limitless cunning, his statesmanship widely is known ; he’s surely an unchallenged expert in running the the show in all lands but his own.

At last night’s meeting of the City Council, Councillor F. R. Cooke asked if anything had been done by the Baths and Entertainments Committee with reference to the proposal that a tepid swimming pool be constructed at Sydenham Park. Councillor O. AY. B. Anderson, chairman of the committee, replied that the matter had not come under his notice since he had been a member of the committee, hut he promised to have it considered in the near future.
