(Hear, hear)
Sir N, F. Warton Fisher, Permanent Secretary to the Treasury, responding, sal it was time that a word of encouragement should reach, the Civil Service. (Hear, bear.) Until quite lately it had been a recognised custom, faithfully observed with all the services of the Crown, to keep one the arena of public controversy. The servants of the Crown were the anonymous agents of the Government, which was for the moment the trustee of the country. They could not, and did not, answer back being under an honourable obligation to remain in the background and ic abstain from any act or utterance that could be interpreted as an intrusion into politica. But in recent years there had been u change, and a change, in his judgment, greatly for worse. (Hear, hear.) In various quarters the servants of the Crown.
Mr. J. H. Thomas, .., tasting the particular servants and even individuals, had been selected for the grossest vit. chairman, said he believed there was no peration aul attack-(hear, hear)- most country in the world as democratic as ours.

Service that recognised neither class, creed, nor party, and would serve him na radily as it served the Prime Minister, was not only a Civil Service that we had reason to be proud of, but was a Civil Service that guaranteed everything democracy required. (Cheera) He believed we were pasmic through a more difficult and, in many re pects, more dangerous period than any of The war brought had experienced. forth a natural and spontaneous effort of patriotism, and we had now reached a wating time.

The Hon. Maude Lawrence (Director of Women Establishments, Treasury) also replied. Since 1870, she said, the numbers of women in the service had steadily ibcreased. They numbered now something like 100,000 out of the Civil Service of $00.000.
Sir James E. Masterton, Permanent Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, proposing "Ministers of the Crown," said Do inan had set to the world and to them a finer example of tireless and encouraging endeavour thas Mr. Lloyd George." (Hear, hear. He doubted if in the history of tho world there had been a pilot upon to weather worse storms. Let them to be quite sure that when a new Cabinet came into existence the Civil Service would offer to the new Ministers the same loyalty they had shown to former Ministers. (Clieers.)
"BPZECH ET PEQIY," Viscount Birkenhead, in reply, said. With great sincerity I pronounce myself ost grateful to this assquistion, repre- Bentative of the Civil Service of the country, for having given me an opportunity of being here to-night. Nearly thirty years ago I had a decision to take, as many other young men at Oxford have had to take, as to whether or not I abould attempt, by such abilities as I possessed, to carve out a career in the more risky feld of cam- petitve enterprise which is associated with law and politics, or whether I should attempt, as I think I could have done roccessfully, iu become a member of the Civil Service. I say without exaggeration that if you take all the men who are my contemporaries at Oxford and if you measure their capacity in impartial scales, that capacity of mind to embrace greatness and devote themselves either to the Bar of

had to say, "We will fight for our ideals, we will fight for our party, we will tight for all that we believe to be right, hut we will all stand four square in fighting for the safety of our country" (Cheers.) Anl in his opinion no greater contribution to that effort would be made than that put forward by the Civil Service. (Chsers.}"

other professions, that in the daily measure SHANGHAI OFFICE- of actual intellectual power, I put, on the whole, the civilians, those who undertake the Civil Service, a little higher, not ocially bigber, as naturally many of you would do, but I put them a little higher. It is quite true they do not take the big risks and big uncertainties of life, and, of course, the great prizes belong to those who, in the event of proving successful, face big risks and take uncertainties. It is the actual presence of the thinking power of the brain in the Civil Bervice that has given it the incentive which is unchallenged and unchallengeable. Whenever there is a debate in the House of Lords.on à question in regard to which I am myself not tesh- nically instructed I always send to the department concerned and ask for the per- sou in the permanent service who bas worked out the question and undertanda it. I cannot tell you how difficult is the pori- tion from my point of view when, in the heat of debate, a difficult question is asked
