SIR JOHN SIMON'S
EXPERIENCES.
Changes in Cabinet machinory and method which strike a Minis- tor who returns to the Cabinet after 21 considerable interval, were described by Sir John Simon In the "Commemoration Oration" at King's College, London.
Sir John was a Cabinot Minis- ter before and during part of the War, and he recently returned to the Cabinet as Foreign Secretary after an interval of 15 yènra.

He said that when he joined the Cabinet in 1913 there wag Secretariat, and minutes were not kept. "The only record of what was discussed or decided was con- tained in the report which the Prime Minister made after each meeting to the King, and of course, that report was communi- cated to no one else.
"It was indeed a distinct breach of tradition and a departure from the spirit of consultation for other Ministers to keep any record of their own, save so far an it was necessary to communiente what was decided to the Department for which an individual Minister was responsible.
"Now all this has been altered. A most responsible Civil Servant. who is known as the Secretary to the Cabinet, attends every meat. ing and sits at the Prime Minis tera side. If, for any reason, he rout not be present, his place. would be taken by his deputy,
"He makes a full note of every Cabinet decision, together with such record as la necessary of the main considerations which led up to it."

Sir John also reached the state- ment of Lord Curzon, who, des- cribing the old Cabinet system before the days of the Secretariat, aald, "The Cabinet often had the very hazlest notion as to what its decisions were,
