CORONERS INQUESTS.
SUDDEN DEATH.
On Friday the City Coroner held an inquest at the Sir John Barleycorn Hotel on the body of a man named John Forsyth, who died suddenly in an office in Hindley-street on Thursday afternoon. Mr. E. H. Dart was foreman of the Jury. Dr. Dixon said he was called in to see the man about 2.20 on the previous afternoon, but found him dead. Made a
post-mortem examination of the body on Friday morning. There were no external marks or braises on the body. Found the brain congested and the lungs in an unhealthy state, being slightly congested. On opening the pericardium found 2 lb. 10 oz. of clotted blood there. With the exception of the kidneys and stomach all the organs were diseased. The right auricle was ruptured, and blood had found its way into the pericardium, which would produce instant death. The cause of death was rupture of the right auricle. Charles Frederick Thomas, clerk at Hooker & Son's, said he had seen the body, which was that of a man named John Forsyth, employed as timekeeper by Messrs. Hooker & Son. He had not been at work for a few days on account of illness, but returned on the afternoon of bis death. He went into the office and caught hold of witness's arm, but
was unable to speak. He was placed in a chair. Sent for Dr. Dixon, who was close by, and he said the man was dead. Deceased was a temperate and active man, but had said he had disease of the heart. James John Hooker corroborated this evidence. Mary Ann Doble, married woman, of Bowden, said the deceased was a lodger at her house, and otherwise corroborated Mr. Thomas's evidence. David Smith Forsyth, butcher, of Glenelg, identified the body as that of his father, who was sixty years of age. He had given the family a good deal of trouble of late years. About three years ago he sold his furniture and turned his family out. The family kept him and the mother. Lived with witness for twelve months, but did no work. He left because witness would give him no money to go to Melbourne. Had heard him complain of palpitation of the heart. His mother had been separated from deceased for four years.
The Jury returned a verdict that death was caused by a rupture of the right auricle of the heart. | John Candlish FORSYTH

Obituary.
Dr. J. E. Forsyth.
In our last issue we made brief reference to the passing of Dr. J. E Forsyth, Dental Surgeon, at his home at Forster, on Thursday morning last, July 14th, 1938. The news of his passing evoked many genuine expressions of regret, as his kindly nature endeared him to a large circle of friends, who deeply sympathise with his widow and son in the great loss they have sustained.
Deceased was born at Willoughby, Sydney, on 4th June, 1885, and had thus attained his 53rd year of age.
After his education at the Church of England Grammar School, North Sydney, where he distinguished himself in the sporting arena? rowing, football, cricket and tennis? and having, as one of his compeers the late Dr. H. V. Hordern, the 'Googly' bowler, the subject of this notice- went to the North Western University at Chicago, U.S.A., where he studied for some time, and there won his degree of Doctor of Dentistry. The far famed Dr. G. V. Black was the Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at that University at the time. On returning to Australia in 1907, Dr. Forsyth took up practice with Dr. Weston, in Macquarie St.. Sydney.
Later he practised at Ballina (on the Richmond River), from where he went to Gloucester. There he practised for 14 years, and built up a splendid connection. At Gloucester he will be well remembered as the father of Association Cricket, in which he took a prominent part as a player ? whilst he also excelled there as a tennis player.
Disposing of his Gloucester practise, he went to Taree, but in 1929 the lure of the surf, in which he greatly indulged, attracted him to Forster, and there he resided until the time of his demise.
He received a great shock in October of last year when his son Jack, to whom he was greatly devoted, was killed in a tragic accident at Sutherland, near Sydney. Since then, the complaint from which he suffered appeared to make greater inroads on his constitution, and for many months he was a very sick man. Despite this great handicap, he exhibited great courage and bravery by continuing his profession so that his numerous clientele would not be disappointed. He was compelled to take to his bed about a fortnight ago, and despite the skilful attention of his medical adviser, Dr. Munro, of Gloucester, and the unremitting attention of his devoted wife, he gradually sank, and passed peace fully to the Great Beyond at 2.30 on Thursday morning, 14th. instant.
The late Dr. Forsyth is survived by his widow and one son, George, who also resides at Forster. His surviving sisters are: Mrs. Arnold Walker, of Gordon, and Mrs. Edmond Gates, of Longueville. Surviving brothers, are: Alderman R. C. Forsyth, of Wollstonecraft, Dr. John Edward Forsyth, of Chatswood, Mr. Albert Forsyth, Dentist, Ballina, and Mr. William Forsyth, of Willoughby. His two sisters and the first two named brothers came from Sydney at the previous week end to see their brother.
The remains of the deceased were interred in the Methodist section or the Forster Cemetery on Thursday afternoon last, in the presence of a large concourse of mourners and sympathisers from all parts of the district, who had come to pay their last respects to one who was so widely respected as one of Nature's gentlemen. The Rev. R. Bird held a service at the home, and also read the final prayers at the graveside.

HEAD-ON COLLISION.
When John Elder Forsyth, 22, of Kimpton Street, Banksia, collided on a bicycle head on with a motor car in Prince's Highway. Helensburgh, yesterday, his skull was exten- sively fractured and his thigh was so badly lacerated on the head lamp of the car that he was in danger of bleeding to death. A doctor at the Waterfall Sanatorium stopped the bleeding to enable him to be taken by the Sutherland Ambulance to the St. George Hos- pital. His condition last night was critical.

DEATH OF JACK FORSYTH
Popular Forster Lad.
Our Forster correspondent writes: Much genuine sympathy and poi gant regret was manifested by resi dents of Forster last Sunday evening when information came to hand that John Elder Forsyth, younger son of Dr. and Mrs. Forsyth, of that town, had been killed accidentally that afternoon whilst cycling on Prince's Highway, near Helensburg, and about 28 miles from Sydney. On the crest of a hill he crashed head-on into a motor car, his skull being extensively fractured, and his thigh was so badly lacerated on the head lamp of the car that it was at once recognised that he was in a critical plight. A doctor sumomned from the Waterfall Sanatorium stopped the bleeding to enable the unfortunate young man to be taken by the Sutherland Ambulance to the St. George Hospital, where he passed away at 4.30 p.m., about an hour after the accident. The deceased was a native of Gloucester, where he was bbrn on the 2nd October, 1915, and had just reached his 22nd year. After leaving school, he spent some time with his mother's people in Queensland, and afterwards came to reside with his parents at Forster. About four months ago he secured a good position with the Arncliffe branch of the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board, and in his weekly letters to his parents he expressed contentment with his work and his future prospects in the ser vice. Jack, as he was familiarly known, was a popular favorite with his fel lows, and on all sides there is keen regret at his untimely passing. He was an excellent sport - being an ardent footballer, fleet of foot, good tennis player, and excelled in the water. For this season he was hold er of the Diving Championship of the Taree-Forster Swimming Club. The remains of the deceased, who was unmarried, were interred in the Methodist section of the Northern Suburbs; Cemetery, Sydney, on Tuesday morning - his father and mother being the principal mourners. They have the heartfelt sympathy of all Jack's, acquaintances in their very sad bereavement. | John Elder Forsyth

Prohibition in Russia
Mr. John Forsyth, of Ryde, has received the following interesting letter from his son, Mr. J. O.Forsyth, dated Vladivostock, February 6. Mr. Forsyth has resided in Russia for some years. His letter should settle the question as to whether there is prohibition in Russia or not : ?
'Dear Dad, ? It would please you to see how strictly enforced the prohibition is throughout Russia. For instance, an acquaintance of mine had an exemption from military service on account of being manager for large works that were fulfilling Government contracts. One day he was removing from his country to his town residence a few bottles of wine in a portmanteau. At the Vladivostock Railway Station his bag was opened by a special excise officer who found the wine. He was arrested and given three months' imprisonment. After coming out of the Court under police arrest, he was taken from the police by the military authorities and sent direct to the firing line, as they considered that he was no longer manager of the works fulfilling Government contracts and therefore liable far military service. If he comes back from the war he will then have to serve his three months' imprisonment. 'Jolly hard luck.' But it shows you the manner in which the Russian Government is enforcing temperance. All railway porters when carrying bags from trains put the bags on their shoulders and listen for the gurgles of bottles in the bags ; they tip the wink to the excise officers, and before you know where you are your bag is opened. And Government official found with wine or other intoxicants are dismissed from the service with the loss of all rank and imprisonment. Remember, all these regulations were brought in at less than 24 hours' notice, so people had no chance to get in a supply. This enforced temperance has made an enormous difference to the Russian working man. Pre-war days he was a low-down dirty beast, thinking of nothing else but eating, sleeping, and getting gloriously drunk. Holidays to him were only intended for 'tanking up' as early as possible, and recovering two or three days later. Now he is a respectable man with more money than he knows what to do with. The old drunken days of Russia have gone never to return. A drunken man now is a novelty ; in the pre-war days drunken men or beggars were the orders of the day. The only beggars now are the infirm and refugees from the war zone. ? Yours, etc,,

The Vladivostock Strike
A letter published by the "Daily Telegraph" from Mr. J. O. Forsyth, who represents some engineering interests in Vladivostock and has been in Siberia for nearly 11 years, shows how Vladivostock "put one over on the Bolsheviks." The trouble arose through the Soviet arresting the executive of the Customs Artel, which is "an organisation of guaranteed workmen responsible for the safety of cargo while in the precincts of the Customs?from the time it leaves "the ship's slings until it is delivered on the carts."
This action of the Bolsheviks caused a strike, a strike engineered, by the whole community of Vladivostock, and the employees were paid and fed while they were out on strike!
"The Vladivostock Chamber of Commerce and the community generally met, and elected a committee to demand the release of the Artel. The local legal authority, the Mayor's Zemstvo, was told that unless the men were liberated within 48 hours all business houses would close their doors.
The 48 hours having expired, on March 5, "the whole of the business life of the port came to a standstill, and the movement was given wholehearted support by the Japanese and Chinese, who closed their businesses and shops, down to the cabbage dealers and cobblers. On March 11 the Soviet decided by 17 votes to 15 to give way on all demands, and on the morning of the 12th all business was resumed."
'"As you are aware," says Mr. Forsyth, "the Soviet?the council of the Workmen and Soldiers' Deputies?has seized the power of the country, dispersed the Constituent Assembly, and governs on behalf and in the interests of only the working-class, by which it is elected. The recognised authorities are the Zemstovs and municipalities, but the Soviet, with its Red Guards, make their authority nil.
In Vladivostock they have been hampered by the presence of foreign cruisers. and the more smoke the latter belch from their funnels the more effect they have on the Bolsheviks. But in spite of the smoke, and encouraged by the inaction of the Allies, they began to feel their way step by step until they reached the position where they arrested the Artel."
Mr. Forsyth sees one good result from the Bolsheviks propaganda."These men," he says, (the Bolsheviks) "in their fanatical madness are being made use of by Germany, but in placing the Germans yoke on Russia they are making Russian patriots, and the lack of patriots has been Russia's tragedy up to date. The Germans have a hard row to hoe in Russia, and in the end Slavdom will eat the Teuton."

WILL YET EAT THE HUN.
Mr. J. O. Forsyth, son of Mr. John Forsyth, J.P., of Ryde, who has been in Siberia almost the whole of the past 11 years as a representative of certain engineering interests, gives an interesting account of the way Bolshevikism has spread throughout Russia, where the Soviet (the council of the workmen and soldiers' deputies) governs the country in the interests solely, of the working class. The Bolsheviks, he writes, are being made tools of by the Germans, but the placing of the German yoke on the country has raised Russian patriots, and in the end Slavdom will eat the Teuton.

CLEARING SIBERIA.
ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.
"The way is now open almost from Vladivostok to Petrograd." In these words Mr. John Oswald Forsyth, son of Mr. John Forsyth, of Ryde, sums up the operations of the Czccho-Slovaks and Allied forces at September 10. Mr. Forsyth. who is located at Vladivostok, is connected with the Ministry for Information in Siberia, and is chairman of the sub-committee for the distribution of Red Cross supplies to the army in Siberia, while his wife is In charge of the tea rooms for the troops.
Graphically he describes how he was awakened one morning by the tramp of marching soldiers? the Czecho-Slovaks on their way to fight on the French front. "Later we had some 15,000 Czechoslovaks in Vladivostok ? keen follows, officers and men as brothers, a democratic, brotherly army. They had suffered all sorts of indignities in crossing Siberia. But they turned on their tormentors, and, without arms, attacked the Bolsheviks wherever they met them. The Czechs were in bands of 500 or so, stretched across from Samara to Vladivostok, some 4000 miles.
Everywhere they defeated the Bolsheviks they set up local governing bodies. The White Guards rushed to their assistance, and now, within two months, Siberia has been cleared of Bolsheviks and their German allies from Vladivostok to the Voledgn.
"The Bolsheviks are not Socialists. They are now, since Socialists are classed as black legs, outcasts and reactionaries. You can only compare the Bolshevik with an I.W.W. in the last stages of insanity. The vile deeds these wild beasts have been guilty of are beyond imagination. Loud- voiced agitators prey on their illiteracy. Most harm had been done by I.W.W. men and anarchists from U.S.A and Australia. I have met some of the latter, and God save Australia from their return.
"British troops were first to come to the assistance at the Czcehs, and have now taken Volodga.
"Hobarovsk the capital of this province, was taken by the Japanese and Cossacks last Monday: the German and Magyar prisoners are running to their own concentration camps; the Bolsheviks have been dispersed like rabbits.
"We have now a High Commissioner, Sir Charles Elliot, at Vladivostok, and a British general. General Knox."

VLADIVOSTOCK.
Depressing Conditions.
Life in Vladivostock was described last week by Mr. John Forsyth, who recently returned from Siberia. Mr. Forsyth's son (Mr. J. O. Forsyth) is in business at Vladivostock as agent in Eastern Siberia and China for Messrs. Brunner, Mond, and Co., soda merchants.
"When I left Vladivostock late in September," said Mr. Forsyth, "the conditions - were depressing. Thousands of refugees were arriving there from the back country, and they had to be housed and provided for somehow. All over the area, which embraced the former Russian fortifications, wattle and daub huts were springing up for the refugees, who were also being billeted in private houses. But for the supplies of fish which were obtained from the waters at Vladivostock, and rice, a large percentage of the people would starve.
Fabulous prices are charged for everything. -The wharfs are stacked with machinery, wattle bark, and materials for tanning, because there are no means to transport them to their destination.
"Vladivostock is at present under the Omsk Government, and there are thousands of Japanese, American, French, Szeck, and British troops affording what protection is required against the revolutionary element. The value of the rouble, which was originally worth 2/2,
had fallen tremendously. I was able to purchase 500 of these for one sovereign in English money."

REVOLUTION.
GRIM STORY FROM RUSSIA.
SYDNEY MAN'S TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
A graphic description of the horrors of revolution has been sent from Vladivostock by
Mr. J. O. Forsyth, who represents a prominent British commercial house in that city and in Manchuria. Writing to his father, Mr. John Forsyth, of the Great Northern-road, Ryde, under date of November 19 last, he says:?"I wish the people who advocate revolution in Australia and teach their children to sing revolutionary songs could see a revolution in progress as we saw it here on the 17th and 18th last, and the after-effects as I saw them yesterday afternoon, the 18th, soon after the fighting was over. Only a vampire could wish for more of it, and surely a vampire would get sick of the horrible sight of men lying in their own blood, killed by their own people, and the killers looking on, not with sympathy but hate. I saw some sights yesterday afternoon which were disgusting, but they were nothing compared with what is going on in other parts of Russia?and what for? All the butchery and pain to enable one party or the other to have political power. The Right bayonet and shoot the Left, and the Left bayonet and shoot the Right?or, as you would have it in Australia?the Liberals bayonet and shoot the Labour and the Labour bayonet and shoot the Liberals. One side endeavouring in vain to keep the other down, and the other endeavouring to put the other side in the same place.
How crude and ignorant all this in when it is only necessary that the Right should recognise that an evolution is taking place, and they must reconcile themselves to have their advantages, privileges, etc., shared with their less fortunate brethren. Yesterday's frightfulness was actually caused by the offended dignity of General Gaida, a man who had cut his way through Siberia with a brave band of unarmed Czechs, defeating army after army of well armed Bolsheviks, who, to assist him in regaining his dignity, and to hurt those who
hurt him, called to his aid a lot of poor ignorant workmen, who were probably Bolshevik idealists and men against whom he had probably fought. His loss of dignity was played on by some political adventurers, members of the first Siberian Government, who were after the spoils of office, and found it was not difficult to persuade the young general, still under 29 years of age, to undertake the adventure which has cost so many valuable lives. To-day he and his companions are prisoners, if most of them have not been shot already, and a few hundred of their followers were until this morning lying frozen still where they had fallen.
THE ALLIES INACTIVE.
"For some days there has been this political agitation going on more or less openly, and on the morning of the 17th it had reached such a pitch that the workmen?or rather a small percentage of them who had sufficient faith in General Gaida?were armed, and at 12 the preparations of the Government in power became so ominous that a signal of six shots was fired from the railway station to begin. From then on till 6 a.m. on the 18th the railway station was a centre of hell itself. I tried to get down to my office to give instructions for safeguarding the property and the people living there, but armed Government patrols blocked my way. At evening as darkness was falling, the fighting became furious, and to make matters worse a terrible gale accompanied with rain, started.
This, with the rattle of machine guns, quick firers, and rifle shooting, completed the picture of hell on earth. At dark the Russian warships started shelling the station and General Gaida's armoured train. This should have been immediately stopped by the allied warships (American, French, Chinese, and Japanese?our British protector having been withdrawn), as the shooting endangered the lives of the residents in the vicinity, but the Allies have decided on non-intervention in Russia to satisfy public opinion at home, consequently hundreds of lives were lost, and a mass of agony suffered simply because public opinion in the British Empire and America does not recognise that the Allies could stop all the bloodshed and agony in a few weeks by taking active measures, and that they could keep order by threatening to shoot the agitators both left and right. They would probably have to shoot more right than left, as the upper class will not recognise that Russia as a whole is a socialistic nation?not Bolshevistic, as this is only a small minority and composed mostly of criminals and lunatics, supported by Chinese and Leftish mercenaries, who are shooting workmen and socialists as the old Czar regime never knew how to do. The Czar was a child compared with Lenin and his Jew colleague Trotsky.
NO WOUNDED LEFT.
"At midnight the rain, wind, and fighting became worse, and in the midst of it a fire broke out. The fire brigade was lucky enough to pass the scene of battle during a lull in the firing, but had to return by a round-about way, as neither side had the decency to respect the brass helmet. At 4 a.m. the fighting again got very hot, and from 5 to 6 a.m. on the 18th the climax arrived, and after 6 only isolated shots were fired as straggling parties were being rounded up. In the afternoon I went with Colonel Young, Chief of the Canadian Red Cross, to look for wounded under railway cars, where they might have crawled for shelter. The Colonel wanted an interpreter, so I went with him, and I was glad, as I wanted to see the aftermath of a revolution. I have seen it bankrupt a country in every way, but I wanted to see its effect on the bodies of men. At the railway station I saw enough to satisfy any glutton.
On the third-class staircase were the bodies of 15 men?one colonel, one captain, and 13 soldiers?deserters from the Government troops?who were taken prisoners and placed on these stairs and shot at till they all dropped. In other parts of the station were men lying in their own blood and out on the street in front of the station were five men, who were left lying there all day with the curious mob to gaze on them. In the station yard we found many frozen bodies, some half covered with snow, which had been falling since about 10 a.m., but not one wounded man did we find. I suspect that some of the troops had go there before us and finished the few lives that we went to save. Civil war is a merciless war, with no mercy tor either side. We looked in trucks, drains, and every conceivable place where a wounded man might crawl for shelter, warmth, and to hide. It was bad enough for healthy men to be walking about in the blizzard, but it must have been frightful for anyone who was wounded. I have come to the conclusion that the referendum is somewhat superior to such a revolution. If anybody talks revolution in Australia they should be bundled out of the country immediately, or be shown continuous moving pictures of the consequence of a revolution.

RUSSIA TO-DAY.
RICH, BUT BANKRUPT
RUINED BY "GO-SLOW" SYSTEM.
TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA.
Mr. John Oswald Forsyth, who returned to Sydney by the Eastern, has spent over 12 years in Russia, where be has commercial interests, and proposes to return there with his wife and family after a stay of two months in Australia. Meantime he will, he states, give his attention to the export trade from Siberia of raw. materials, mainly linseed and timber, and the export trade from Australia of nearly every kind of manufactured article.
Declaring that he loves the people of Russia and their country, Mr. Forsyth, when interviewed, yesterday afternoon, was unsparing in his criticism of the turn of affairs since the revolution.
"The tragedy of Russia," said Mr. Forsyth, "is the reduction of output-the refusal to work on the one hand and the slowness of work on the other. The Bolsheviks are now introducing compulsory labour. They realise that output and efficiency must be increased if Russia, already centuries behind other countries, is to be saved from falling back to the dark ages,. Russia has proved that unless a country works efficiently she must collapse and her people must suffer. I have met many of the Bolshevik leaders, and found them serious-minded men, who appeared to be honest in thought and action. There are, of course, dangerous extremists and impostors; but they are soon found out, as Bolshevism is a test of sincerity. The fact that
Bolshevism is a product of a theoretical Russian mind is sufficient to prove it unworkable for a practical world.
While affirming that he had not lost faith in the Russia he knew so well and liked so much before the revolution, he spoke in a very gloomy way of the present bankrupt condition of that country, Trade, he said, was at a standstill, despite the efforts of the Radical Government officials, who were working, so to speak, from dawn to midnight. The Government had declared a monopoly on all raw materials. All exporters would now have to obtain their supplies from the Government through their selling agents -one of the large co-operative societies, This was bound to be unworkable, owing to the overhead charges being beyond those of any commercial, house. Up to the present no scheme had been worked out, and
the whole matter of exports was being investigated.
All private concerns which were being run by the workmen, he said, were bankrupt. This was due to the overhead charges and the small output. The one-time prosperous volunteer fleet was now unable to raise even £500, and the employees had received no wages for months. The Naval Arsenal, now being operated on a commercial basis, had one clerk or official for every workman. It looked as if years would pass before modern methods were introduced. Still it was easier to get business attended to, or put through or refused now than it had been under the Czar or the Koltchak regime.
"There is a good opportunity for trade," Mr. Forsyth went on to say, "but Russia, I fear, will not be an El Dorado for some years.
It is necessary to exercise caution in business affairs at present. Many American firms who opened on a large scale after the revolution are now in liquidation. Still, Russia is tremendously rich, and her resources have not yet been tapped. Her timber forests are still virgin; her gold is lying in shallow river beds, awaiting dredges; she has 90 per cent, of the known platinum deposits of the world, and she has coal on her seaboards and throughout the hinterland. With energy and efficiency Russia might start a new life of prosperity. The Bolsheviks appear to be working towards this end."
Mr. Forsyth, who is a son of Mr. John Forsyth, of Rosewall, Ryde, was born at Ryde, and was an engineer after he left school. For several years he was one of the Parramatta Lancers, under General Charles Cox and Colonel Sir James Burns. Fourteen years, ago Mr. Forsyth went on the old steamship Adelaide to Vladivostok as chief refrigerating engineer, the vessel having been purchased in Australia by a firm of Russian merchants to carry a cargo of frozen meat. The frozen meat experiment was so successful that Mr. Forsyth was induced to remain and erect refrigerating machinery at Harbin, in Manchuria. Later he built a large store for the Russian and Asiatic Bank at Vladivostok. He then went into commercial life. At the outbreak of war he offered his services "In any capacity" to the British Ambassador at Petrograd, and was told that he would be of more value in commercial life than as a fighting man. During the revolution he looked after British and American interests in the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Forsyth's business is now carried on in the eastern provinces of Siberia, with Vladivostok as his headquarters.

COMMISSIONER IN CHINA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
Sir,?Mr. C. Spurgeon Medhurst, in his article in your issue of to-day, claims that the Federal Government has erred in appointing Mr. E. S. Little our Trade Commissioner. Mr. Medhurst admits that Mr. Little has all the ability necessary, with the exception of Australian birth. Whilst recognising the necessity of appointments to such posts being filled by Australians, in this instance our trade can be left with safety in the hands of Mr. Little.
I have known Mr Little intimately for the past ten years, and spent quite a lot of my time with him in Sydney.
Mr. Little, during his visit to Australia last year, studied the Australian industries and social conditions. He is a great believer in Australia and our future. He assured me that he is heart and soul one of us, and when his term is up intends to make his home here.
A great deal of the agitation against our Trade Commissioner is propaganda aimed to confuse him by those interests in Shanghai which he opposed when he took a magnificent stand as leader of the Shanghai Ratepayers Association against the opium combine and the proposal to sell the Shanghai municipal trams to a private company.
I am, etc, J. O. FORSYTH.

Big Wool Purchaser
MERCHANT'S VIEW
SYDNEY, Friday.
Giving evidence before the Wool Inquiry Committee to-day, John Oswald Forsyth, a merchant of Sydney, declared that Australia could sell Russia £5,000,000 worth of wool per
year.
In the two recent seasons, he said, we sold Russia wool valued at £6,059,790, yet Australia never purchased more than £250,000 worth of Russian goods in any one year.
He advocated a trade agreement with Russia, and under that agreement Australia would export goods to Russia, to the extent, of £10,000,000.
J. W. Harrop urged the creation of 'future' markets for wool in Australia.

FEDERAL WOOL INQUIRY
Some Proposals By Graziers
RUSSIAN TRADE
SYDNEY, Friday.
Giving evidence before the Federal wool committee to-day, Mr. John Oswald Forsyth, merchant, of Sydney, said that if the Federal Government would make some arrangement to trade with Russia on a limited credit system, such as that operating in Great. Britain, it would
benefit Australia to the extent of £5,000,000 a year.
Mr. Forsyth said the Russian wool buyers were withdrawn from Australia early in 1930 owing to anti-Russian propaganda.
In reply to the chairman, Mr. Gunn, Mr. Forsyth said that he was not in the wool trade now. He was not an agent of the Russian Government, but he had resided in Russia, and knew the wealth of the market.
Mr. T. J. A. Fitzpatrick, grazier, of Junee, suggested the imposition of a ½d or a 1d. a bale on all wool sold to create a fund for the establishment of a vigilance committee to report on values.
If something was not done to maintain values or to keep them up, he said, there would be "the devil's own crash." In his opinion it cost 10½d. a lb. to produce wool, without interest.
Mr. Alfred Mallick, grazier, said that the forthcoming auctions should be curtailed, and a reasonable reserve, say, 14d., placed upon the wool.
The Commonwealth Government should enter the wool market and purchase £5,000,000 worth. This could be held for later sales or be shipped to the London market, and would create excellent competition.
The world could not do without Australian wool. The manufacturers in Britain and Europe could not afford to close up their factories and let their millions of employees be thrown idle.
The inquiry was adjourned.

MR. J. FORSYTH.
A respected resident of the Bukkulla district, in Mr. Joseph Forsyth, passed over into the Great Unknown at the home of his sister (Mrs. C. Gollege), Henderson street, on Tuesday, at the age of 47 years. The deceased was a native of the Bukkulla district, and had resided there during the whole of his life. He was a man who endeavored to do much for the betterment
of his fellowmen, and will be mourned by a large circle of intimate friends.
The late Mr. Forsyth will be remembered by the racing public; he. took a keen interest in this grand old sport, being the owner and breeder of some fine horses, and his colors have often
been seen passing the judge's box victorious. The deceased leaves a young widow, with whom much genuine sympathy is felt in her bereavement. The funeral, which left the residence of his sister, took place on Wednesday in the Presbyterian portion of the local cemetery. In the absence of the minister of the Presbyterian congregation, the Rev. A. W. Parton (Methodist) conducted the service at the graveside.
Mr. C. S. Thorley carried out the mortuary arrangements. | Joseph Forsyth

neckline was caught each side with sprays of orange blossoms and her net sleeves were fash ioned long and tight fitting.
The ensemble, which was a beautiful creation was completed with a silk net veil, heavily embroidered and finished with a pleated edge and top knot of orange blossoms. Her
bouquet was of frangipanni and tuberoses.
Miss Verdun Forsyth, sister of the bride, was chief bridesmaid, together with Miss Mary McCormack, who made a smart two-some.
Both wore lovely gowns of white net, made with tight-fitting bodices and very full skirts.
Bands of ribbon outlined the square necklines and short puff sleeves added a dainty finish.
Both wore white mittens, curvettes of scarlet roses, and carried muffs of the same delight fully colored blooms.
Wearing a gown in the same design and colour little Miss Janice Harding, the small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Val Harding, made a charming flower girl. She. too, carried
scarlet roses.
Mr. Keith Forsyth, of Tarnworth, brother of the bride, was best- man, and Mr. Jim Iliffe. of 2NZ, carried out the duties of groomsman.
Miss Marion Porters, a visitor from Newcastle, beautifully rendered "O, Promise Me," during the signing of the register. Mr. Ron Scott accompanying her. The latter presided at the
organ during the whole ceremoney and rendered delightful bridal music.
Later, about 30 guests, including friends from Sydney, Glenn Innes, and surrounding districts, were entertained at the home of Dr. and Mrs. P. L. O'Halloran of Henderson
Street, Inverell, where the floral decorations were outstanding.
The spacious verandahs were massed with bowls of tall glad ioli, whilst the tables were graced with flat bowls of roses and dahlias.
A feature of the bridal table was the beautiful three-decker wedding cake, which was made by Mrs. Val Harding, and decor ated by Mr. Lindsay Duncan, of Tingha.
Mrs. O'Halloran received her guests in a smart model of dusty pink which featured large plastic and navy buttons, while the same colour outlined the neck and pockets. Shirring
trimmed the waistline, whilst large purple Cattleya orchids comprised the lovely shoulder spray. Mrs. O'Haloran's outfit was completed with a curvette of fresh flowers.
Rev. M. C. Mayes presided, and the usual toasts were honoured.
When leaving for the honeymoon, which was spent at Nelson's Bay, the bride chose a smart model suit of wine with gold and pink trimmings, to which she added hat. shoes and
gloves in the same lovely shade.
A spray of pink and gold orchids was also worn.
A large array of lovely gifts, and a number of cheques, were received by the happy young couple, who will now make their future home in Sydney.

MY STORY by Keith Forsyth
For 89 -year-old Keith Forsyth, a life that has been a mixed bag of adversity, desperation, disappointment,
anticipation and joy has left him with a remarkable tale to tell.
His tale is not always pretty, but it is one Keith tells with a good-humoured glint in his eye that marks him out as
being an extraordinary man. Keith was born in Evans Street in Inverell and lost his mother at a very young age, he was
only three years old when his mother died and his father sent him off to live with his grandmother in the property called Glenorchy at Bukkalla.
I was not quite eight when I started going to school, and I went all right,Keith said.
My main trouble was that my father wasn't ?education minded. I used to walk half a mile to school of a morning and the
half a mile home of an afternoon
The teacher I had when I first started wasn't very good, but he was replaced shortly after I arrived and the next
teacher was a really good one, and I went as far as the Intermediate (School Certificate) where I got four out of five passes, Keith said.
After completing his education, Keith started his first job, which was on the land.
I took a job that turned out to be a droving job, we were driving sheep from Collarenebri to Mogg Swamp,
Keith said. It was 1937 and in those days if you saw two cars driving along the road it was a busy day!
Well, things went all right there for a while, but I lost that job because I stuck up for the rights of another bloke
who was working with me at the time who was being underpaid, Keith said. While representing the rights of another
was a noble thing to do, the result was less satisfying. We were both sacked and turned off the property, and that
wasn't all that pleasant because we had a 60 mile walk to get into Moree, Keith said with a smile. Neither of us had
any food. But we were lucky, we only walked 15 or 20 miles before got a lift with a mail vehicle - and they only ran one or twice a week in those days, Keith said.
With his return to Bukkulla, Keith's next job took him back to family.
I worked for my uncle who had about 3000 acres and no children, and I got on very well with him and then I
enlisted in the Army in 1939, Keith said.
Taken prisoner by the Japanese at Singapore at the age of 19, Keith was interned at the famous Changi
prisoner of war camp where he suffered from Typhus before being moved to Blakang Mati where he remained for three
years until the end of hostilities in 1945.
We had one of the lowest death rates but one of the highest work rates,Keith said.
â??I was still recovering from Typhus when I got there and we worked for hours and hours without a break and the
food we got was barely enough to sustain us.
The camp was the thing that probably saved us though because it was originally built for native troops who had
never used it, the huts were up off the ground and we had proper latrines, so we didn't have as much dysentery as they
had in other places.
But the camp was not disease free and Keith did suffer from Malaria for a long time afterwards, just as the
brutality of his experience stayed with him for years.
I slept next to Pat Rolff from Warialda on one side (he settled in Tamworth after the war) and Lloyd Darlington
who was also from Warialda and Bob Smith slept on the veranda about 10 yards away for those three years.Keith
said.
There was a chap in the camp who worked as a radio engineer for British General Electric and he managed to
set up a radio and was receiving news of the BBC, we heard about the A bomb and VP from that.
But just because we knew didn't mean much changed until the Japanese surrendered, which our guard
definitely didn't want to do.â?
The Japanese surrendered on August 15, 1945, but it was not until one tense week later, on August 22, that
Keith left Blakang Mati, and as Keith looked at Singapore for the last time he told a mate, Doug Fraser, that would never
eat rice again; and he didn't for 20 years.
Keith returned to his uncle's farm at Bukkulla, but there were years of coming to grips with his wartime
experiences as they manifested themselves in various forms - today we would call it Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
It was a good 15 years after the war before I could settle into a proper routing and there was one time I didn't
think I would live to be 50. Keith said. I suffered with Malaria for years afterwards. In the early 1950s they came out with a one dose cure for malaria, it was a six months course and I had to take five ?doses of the course. Keith said.
Working hard to make his uncle's farm one of the most improved in the district, Keith's luck began to change
when he met the young school teacher Heather McBean in 1956. I remember we used to talk about the dark circles
Keith always had beneath his eyes, Heather said.
By 1959 they were an item and were married in 1961 when they set up house on Abington Station near
Bundarra. I got the job of the overseer there and it was four good years. Keith said. My daughters were born while
we were there and we managed to put aside enough to buy a 200 acre dairy farm. There was no livestock on it so we
converted it to sheep and put in a very good crop of wheat that year too, which really helped.
With his daughters, Ellen and Ann, now working away from the district, Keith and Heather enjoy that quite
exceptional something offered by this area to those able to reflect upon very extraordinary lives - the quiet life.
Thank you to the person who describes Heather as her favourite Kindergarten teacher and who passed this
item to Elizabeth Forsyth for our newsletter. Keith is a descendant of John & Maria Forsyth. Great story Keith! | Keith Charles Thomas Forsyth
