JOHNSON
The Hon. Mr. M. T. Johnson said:-
Your Excellency, Honourable Unofficial Members of Council who have spoken before me have dealt so exhaustively with the Budget and other subjects that I may he mercifully brief, but there are one or two points to which I desire to call attention.
DR. BARNES'S GLOOMY SURVEY
"If Another War Should Come”
POOR CHANCE FOR CHRISTIANITY

"There are no signs of approaching revolution in Britain. The stability of the people under the stresses and stralfis of the modern world is marvellous. If which God fordid-we were tɔ have another international war, one or more political revolutions, would almost certainly follow. I doubt, however, whether they would be anti-Christan in character."
These words were spoken by Dr. Barnes. Bishop of Birmingham. In an address at the Conference of Modern Churchmen at Girton College. Cambridge. recently.

Head 22. Medical Department. I note the explanations given of the increase of nearly $70.000 in Per- sonal Emoluments but quite apart from the Queen Mary Hospital
there is still an increase of over
$50,000 in the rest of the Medical
establishment. The total of Per- sonal Emoluments of this Depart- ment grows steadily year by year and it is sincerely to be hoped that the new Director of Medical Ser vices will find it possible at least to call a halt or, more desirable still, effect some economies.

This provided that individual chemists should study the subject sufficiently to appreciate what was involved in chemical warfare; that the institute should purchase sub- piles of Air Raids precautions Handbooks for the use of members: and that the Institute should be in position to supply representatives to any States committee formed to deal with the defence of the civil population, a small nucleus of in- crisis began in Russia.
