New Govt. Machinery For Britain?
TO SUIT TIMES OF EDWARD VIII.
MR. R. MACDONALD'S
HINT OF CHANGE Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, speaking in London this month, said that the reconstruction of
the machinery of Government, built up in Victorian times or earlier, to adapt it to the era of Edward VIII, would soon have to be faced. **
"Our Government is a curious. one," he said. "The British Con- stitution and the British Governe ment is a very interesting affair, and it happens that nearly every- thing that comes along which can- not be consigned tightly and snugly to any one department is handed over to the Privy Council. "It is a very good choice, especially an experiments in gov ernment and demands for Govern now being made are very largely new consi. derations and new demands."

BOMBINGS FROM AIR

MENACE TO FLEET
SHIPS COULD NOT REMAIN AT MALTA
ENGLISH
PORTS OPEN TO ATTACK
Warning of the British Navy's-danger from air attack was given in the House of Commons debate last month on Rear-Admiral Sir Murray Sueter's Bill to create a Ministry of Defence.
Among the points made were:
Malta and Gibraltar are not safe for the Fleet. Devonport, Portsmouth, Chatham and Sheerness cannot shelter warships from bombs.
The air bomb has become the master weapon. Europe is one vast arsenal.
The next war will be declared by the dropping of bombs.
In another war we may find resources on which we drew in the last war closed to us.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, after referring to the "very rude shocks" administered to the coun- try by Mr. Baldwin's disclosures of German rear- mament and the Hoare-Laval proposals, said it was impossible for any Prime Minister to be an effective head of the 'Committee of Imperial De- fence.
