One other point which it is in- teresting to note is that during the past twenty years there has been a tremendous increase in the staffs of the non-self-governing Colonies, with a huge rise in expenditure. Staffs have grown from 93,000 to 220,000, and expenditure from nineteen millions, sterling to sixty eight millions. These figures are all the more remarkable since the 1927 Conference bemoaned the dif- ficulty of getting man for the amaller Colonies, and one of the suggestions put forward was that, there should be an educational cam-j paign at Home to overcome the prevailing ignorance with regard to the Colonies and their services.
