PAGE SEVEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1930 WAR STATESHEN IN FINE PAINTING Guthrie's Composite Portrait Historic and Human Depiction London.--In the National Por- trait Gallery has Just been placed on exhibition "Some Statesmen of the Great War," a composite paint- ing, the work of Sir James Guthrie, who died last year. Naturally the figures are from studies painted at different times and the general set- ting is, of course, according to the painter's own ideas. With this work Sir Abe Bajley has also presented to the nation a painting of the mili- tary leaders in the War, by Sar gent, and a painting of the naval chiefs, by Sir David Cope, In Guthrie's work the figures in- cluded are: The Maharajah of Bi- kanir, General Louis Boths, George Nicholl Barnes, Sir Robert Borden, Lord Balfour, Sir Bric Geddes, Mr. Bonar Law, Lord Morris, Lord Kit- chener, Sir Joseph Cook, W, M. Hughes, Mr. Lloyd George, Lora Milner, W, F. M , Mr, Winston Churchill, Viscount Grey, The Earl of Oxtord and Asquith, According to a critic in the Mah. chester Guardian, Sir James Guth- rie has achieved that rare thing in » State group on the grand scale of making it historic and human in some obvious points. Balfour, for instance, is standing addressing tue Council, but no one appears to be listening to him, except Hughes (who is deaf), and Churchill's head is out of scale compared with Grey's beside him. The difficulties of the task have been too great for the artist, but in its imaginative design, in the rich dignity of its colors, and in the strong characterizations of the fig: ures it surely ranks with the biggest schievements of the times since Reynolds. In a department of art fn which England has no continu- ous tradition, Guthrie's imagina- tion, sincerity, and technical genius have bridged the gulf and left to rosperity an epic of the World ar that can stand beside the Mas- ters in the great line of State por- traiture without looking unworthy, He has achieved this with little help from uniforms or robes or other apparatus of grandiose effect, "His triumph is that he makes you feel these are men caught by fate to carry the most appalling respon- sibilities ever set upon men, at the moment when the wings of victory come looming through the dark- ness," says the Guardian. "Symbone too, is that it is a victory without a head." LONDON TO HAVE ART INSTITUTE Study of History of Art Is Object of University Branch London.--The University of Lon- don has for some time been consi- dering a proposal put forward by Lord Lee of Fareham for the foun- dation of an Institute for the study of the history of art in all its branches, and has now resolved to tae steps to bring the idea to frui- tion. ' This has been rendered possible mainly through the generosity of Samuel Courtauld, who has not only undertaken responsibility for the entire cost of building and equip- ping the Institute, but has further guarantegd, in certain contingen- cles, a portion of the endowment which will be necessary to finance the staff and administrative expen- ses. In recognition of this bene- faction it is proposed that the build- ing shall be named "The Courtauld Institute of Art." Dr. Edwin Deller, Principal o: the University of London, has said Mr. Courtauld did not wish the amount of his gift to be disclosed. 'It is considerably more than $100, 000," he added. Sir Joseph Duveen has promised $100,000 towards the endowment fund. Sir Martin Con- way, M.P., has undertaken to pre- sent to the Institute, when in being, his important collection of photo- graphs and other reproductions or works of art. Lord Lee of Fareham has further intimated that he proposes to be- queath to the University (upon the death of Lady Lee and himself) the bulk of his collection of pie- tures and other works of art, Lord Lee's private collection comprises Old Masters of Italian, Flemish, ano Frn~lich gehools, and early silver, and extends to about 120 items. NEW FVERNIR "FOR SOUTH AFRICA - Eatl of Clarendon, Former Ontario Fruit Farmer, Goes to New Post vondon.--The Earl of Clarendon, Governor - General - Designate of South Africa, is expected to sail on Jan. 9. His appointment, which was announced last February, is the choice of Prime Minister J, B. Hertzog, who, it will be remember- ed, firmly rejected a suggestion from 4 section of the Duteh Nations alists that a South African should te appointed. General, Hertsog maintained it would be impossible to find any such person who was snMelently free from political bias. he Har] of Clarendon, who is ~t.known in Canada, ia 63 years ¢ -~g¢ and succeeded to the title in i His experience of life 1 Ontario as a fruit farmer was doubtless responsible for his being an prominently associated some . n~o with the Overseas Settle- Committee. He was later ap- taq chairman of le British roadcasting Corporation. B When the Union of South Africa was effected in 1910, the first Gov- ernor-General was Lord Gladstone, and in due time he was su by Lord Buxton, who was followed by Prince Arthur of Connaught. The retiring holder is the Earl of Ath- lone. Throughout South Africa ex- pressions of sincere regret are be- 'ng heard that His Excellency and Princess Alice are about to leave the country. They have enjoyed an extension of the usual perl of office. In this further time sthey deepened their love of South Africas, and the people's affection for them- selves increased, Foremost: amongst the qualities which have won for the Earl and his Princess the love of South Afri. cans of all races is maturalness-- always with a perfect courtesy they have been themselves, They have shown a keen, practical interest in healthy recreations, and on holidays on the veld and in the bush they have done well with big game, Last year the Earl and Countess of Athlone received a present on the occasion of thelr Silver Wed: ding which had been subscribed for in shillings by all classes of people of South Africa. In the spring of 1928 thelr only son, Viscount Tre- mation, died as the result of In- juries received in a motorcar acc dent in France. The Earl of Ath- lone was selected to succeed the Duke of Connaught as Governor- General of Canada on the conclu- sion of the term of office of the Duke in 1916. The outbreak of the war, though, caused this ar- rangement to be altered, and the Duke of Devonshire was appointed instead, TWO RHODESIA "HAY AMALGAMATE Decision Expected Shortly on Question of Union Salisbury Southern Rhodesia.-- Will the two Rhodesias unite? This important question probably will be settled in the near future in the af- firmative, as the recent Victoria Falls Conference between the dele- gates of Southern and Northern Rhodesia indicated a drawing-near of the two Rhodesias in the direc- tion of amalgamation. The ques- tion was raised by the delegates from Northern Rhodesia and an amicable discussion followed, There was a general agreement among the delegates of Southern Rhodesia and practical agreement among the Northern Rhodesia delegates, but two of the later thought 'it would be unwise to pass a resolution on the question. To this the Southern dolegates agreed. The importance of the decision arrived at cannot be overrated, according to representa- 'ive men of both of the Rhodesias. "The Victoria Falls Conference has had the effect of reducing the whole question of amalgamation to practical politics," says G. M. Hug- ~ins, M.L.A., for Salisbunry North, "It has cleared the air of a great deal of gontroversial matter and 1 feel, after having attended the Con- ference as one of the representa- tives of Southern Rhodesia, that within 18 months we may have a nited Rhodesia," Mr. Huggins says the Conference has succeeded in clearly demonstrating that serious apposition to amalgamation has dis- appeared. Curiously enough, however, un- animity on the question of amalga- mation was not attained until after the Conference, according to Mr. Huggins. The exglanation of this is that private conversation among the representatives was more effec- tive in getting a firmer grasp of the essentials of the question, The Con- ference, Mr. Huggins says, did not concern itself with details of the proposed amalgamation such as that of determining the site of the new capital, etc., these matters be- ing left for officials to report upon What the Conference had dealt with, and very effectively, in Mr. Huggins' opinion, was the principle of uniting Southern Rhodesia with Northern Rhodesia, and with a con. stitution on the lines of that of Sou- thern Rhodesia, The only possible obstacle in the way of amalgamation would be the refusal of the Colonial Secretary, Lord Passfield, to approve of it, Mr. Huggins says, but this is not anticipated. In case of a refusal both countries would continue pass- ing resolutions and generally agitat- ing till their wishes for amalgama- tion were met. They might even have to wait for a change of Gov- ernment in Great Britain. At all events it was certain that the Rho- desias would never depart from strictly constitutional procedure, "Amalgamation will place the Rhodesids in a far better economic position that they are today," Mr. Hugging says. 'They will be bet- ter able to meet competition, and what is more important, they will be in a stronger position when ar- ranging customs agreements with their neighbors." LITTLE THEATRE FOR BRITAIN NEXT YEAR Manchester, Eng.--The first spe- cially constructed Little Theatre in Great Britain will be in Altrin- cham, Cheshire, where an Eastern Nazaar was recently held to raise "unds for the proposed Little The- atre, with Miss Sybil Thorndike per- forming the opening ceremony and giving her hearty support to the movement. The Altrincham Gar- rick Society has undertaken the work of raising funds and erecting the Little Theatre, It is a far ¢ry from the cellar in an Altrincham house, where the founders of the Garrick Society met for the firkt time in 1918, to the steel and brick playhouse, with all *he latest stagecraft appliances, which it is hoped will be built some time in 1931 under the society's auspices. The Garrick Soclety of Altrincham is one of the leading smateur dramatic socloties in the "orth of England, and at the be =aar Miss Thorndike pald generou~ tribute to the society's enthusiasm and ploneering spirit. ROAD TRANSPORT COMPANIES MERGE London.--Drastic amalgamations of the smaller road transport con- cerns are already being effected in view of the New Road Trafic Act. Under this Act Commissioners in areas sll over England will have power to decide what services are necessary, and what shall be the conditions of work for men employ- ed in them, At the present time in the Manchester area alone, more than 150 motor coaches are running comparatively short distances, It has long been asserted that amongst some of the smaller companies the drivers are compelled to work ex- cessively long hours, a danger both to themselves, to the travelling public, and to other users of the high-way. BRITISH MINISTER [3 IN HOT WATER Sir Charles Treveiyan Has Tilt With Headmaster at Harrow London.--8ir Chartes Trevelyan, Minister of Education, and himselt an Old Harrovian, has got {nto trouble for declaring in a recent speech that Harrow is a 'school merely for the rich" and that the conception of education there is not very fine, The hoys, added Sir Charles, do not believe in brains, hut brawn, Dr. Cyril Norwood, headmaster if Harrow, imagines Sir Charles' 'emarks were based upon what he "emembers of the state of education here about the year 1800. He "ught to know, says Dr. Norwood. aut everything has changed since then, Foremost among O14 Harrovians is perhaps Rt. Hon, Stanley Bald- win, who won some reputation ag a cricketer and a foothaller at the ~chool. Politics is not the only nhere in which Harrow boys have hone. The late Archbishop David- on was a Harrow boy. Among the Taw Lords there is Viscount Dune in, while the stage is indebted to "Tarrow for Sir Gerald du Maurier. In Harrow Speech Room, hehina the Headmaster's chair there is a row of chairs with the names upon them of Old Harrovians who have attained Cabinet rank. There is ~lso a memorial bearing the names of 18 V.C's who came from the school. Sir Charles Trevelyan is a «reat-nephew of Lord Macaulay the historian. He was private secret- ary to Lord Crewe when the latter was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. In Mr. Asquith's time he was at the Ministry of Education, Ten years 'ater he joined the Labor Party, ""aving taken meanwhile an unpopu lar attitude towards the war, and lost his seat at the 1918 Genera! Election. He returned to Parlia- ment in 1922, NORTH BAY STARTS RELIEF PROGRAM (By Canadien Press Leased Wire) North Bay, Nov. 26--A program of relief work entailing the construc: tion of new sewage and waterworks lines at an estimated cost of $24,391 was last night approved by city coun- cil and the city engineer' instructed to commence the work as quickly as possible.
