The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1928-04-12, Page 7Greek Police Force Headed by Briton Sir Frederick Halliday Has Been Twice Re-engaged by the Athens Gov­ ernment Sir Frederick Halliday, the head of the British Police Missionrin Greece, has just signed his third Three-year contract with the Athens Govern­ ment for the reorganization and di­ rection of the urban police of the country, with special reference to towns like Athens, Piraeus, Patras, Salohlki and Corfu. For the first time ho has the promise of the full and unpolitical co-operation of the Government. When he took hold in 1918, under the auspices of the Allies, he found cities, like tho provinces, “guarded” by a gendarmerie whose members were constantly being transferred. They had no patrol system and no very clear appreciation of law and order. In the towns they spent their time at hotels and cabarets and only emerged when necessary—to make an arrest or when ordered to quell a riot. Sir Frederick received the man­ date to reorganize the entire system, both town and country, but so far he has not proceeded beyond the latter. At the beginning he was greatly hampered by the influx of some 1,- 500,000 refugees from Asia Minor; then came the Pangalos dictatorship, which made him practically power­ legs to proceed—the officers he had so carefully trained were ordered back into the army and their places taken by the’ henchmen of the dicta­ tor. In January, 1926, Pangalos de­ creed the dismemberment of the town force by traz\sferring to the rural gendarmerie all duties concerning public order, detection and prevention of crime criminal investigation and prosecute n. Sir Frederick then took a holiday in England and France and, after the fall of Panagalos, returned to Athens and had to begin all over again. At first he was hampered in the old way- This was the situation when, on the eve of the expiration of his contract, he presented the Government with an ultimatum: either he would go home or the Towns Police Force would be allowed to vesumd' its full activities or with the alternative of an amalga­ mation with the rural police with headquarters in the principal towns. The Government declined to let him go, but wanted him to think out his alternative. Meanwhile the press is unanimous for a restoration of Towns Police Force according to Frederick’s original plan.

Canada, Australia, the ' Irish Free State, New Zealand and South Africa can never return, to such close allegiance with the mother coun- . try. They will now accept no bonds j beyond those of common loyalty to | the British Crown, symbolized by their Governor Generals, and if Canada’s lead is followed special envoys be­ tween the mother country and her children will serve as the mediums through which these independent na- I Hons will arrive at a policy of co-oper- ■ ation.—N.Y.

Mr. A. Marcotte, North Ham, Que./writes:—“I have i sent'atives. to its own Dominions'. And what the status of the proposed envoy to Canada would be presents a com­ plex problem. He cannot be an am­ bassador or a minister, for, after all, the Dominion cannot be classed as a foreign country. Bu.t if he is not he will rank below the ministers of foreign countries—the American Min­ ister, for example—in the official life of the Canadian capital. Yet what is one more anomaly in the life of the British Empire? At all events, Great Britain and the Dominions now stand forth' as free and equal partners In an unwieldy organiz­ ation in which London finds herself with less ad less control.

Washington Says Lindbergh May Fly Over Atlantic To Europe Again Soon “ Washington, D.C.—A rumor is cur­ rent here that Col. Charles A, Lind­ bergh will fly the Atlantic again in May.

The companies are the Anchor Line, the Booth Line, the Com­ monwealth and Dominion Line and the Clan Line. The device, which has been intro­ duced by two well-known German en­ gineers, is known as the Bauer-Wach, after the names of the two inventors, and it consists of affixing to an ordin- . ary steam reciprocating engine a tur­ bine which uses up the exhaust steam and which, being coupled to the pro­ peller shaft, transmits this additional power to the’ propeller. Experiments tried on two German ships, the Cap Norte and Antonio Delfino, each of 14,000 tons, showed that they could make an extra knot speed on a slight­ ly reduced fuel consumption. The Bri­ tish exeperiment is interesting, be­ cause it is being tried on various types of ships, one of which at least, -has the reputation of being a very economical vessel already. The significance of the ment, however, lies in the if this invention does all claimed for it, old ships which have been out o fthe running in the com­ petition of the motorship and the more highly developed, modern steam­ ship, wll be able to come baclO with renewed vigor, as it were, and pro­ vide their owners with ships almost as good as new at very little cost. When one remembers the high cost of construction to-day and bears in mind that many of these older ships, owned by the conservative shipowners of pre­ war days, stand on the books at prac­ tically nothing, the possibilities of this revitalizing process are very remark­ able. ' Nor do, the complexities of the situa­ tion end there, for it is to these same owners that the eyes of the shipbuild­ er are turned for signs that they may want new ships. While the owners may have cause to rejoice at the pos­ sibility of their ships receiving a new lease of life, that Is exactly what the shipbuilders do not wish to see. And tho matter goes even farther; many old ships are almost out of the running In the highly competitive freight market to-day. They would come back as a now compotltlvo forco just when the matfeot was beginning to get the measure of post-war condi­ tions and flattered itself that there were no longer any seriously disturb­ ing elements, ...

English Train Bill Gives “Lying Down” Privileges ' London.—Sleeping accommodation on the English trains, which is obtain­ able only if the passenger travels first class, has always been rather expen­ sive. A bill has recently been intro­ duced in Parliament, however, “to provide lying-down accommodation on night journeys in third-class railway carriages.” The wording, it will be noted, is scrupulously accurate in referring to “lying down” rather than to “sleep­ ing” accommodation. The bill pro­ vides that every train which has first- class sleeping cars shall have, at least one-fifth of its third-class compart­ ments equipped with beds, bunks or “stretchers.” The “lying down tickets,” as they are called,- are to cost only five shill­ ings ($1.25) more than the ordinary third-class fare. _______ _________________......... - v .............
