Discussing Mr Amold Forster's Volun. teer policy, the Spectator says !--- We want efficiency quite as much as does Mr Arnold. Forster, But the Government plan will not secure fighting efficiency, and is not even meant to secure it. It is simply

* reducing powder intended to get rid of that redundancy In the Volunteers which the Government find so

Melonsive. A good

practical way of realising how absurd is the Government's standard of effolency is to think out what would have happened if It had been applied by President Kruger to thr Boer Army, The Boers, it is generally admitted, were pretty efficient fighters but if all the boys under nineteen and men over forty-five had been rejected, and farther, if all those who suffered from_bad teeth or constitutional ailments had also been cast we should have found it a very much easier job to overcome them than we did.

sion on London traffic reports that the rehousing of workpeople on their presont site in London would be too costly, and therefore it is imperative to relieve over- crowding by taking the population' in and out of the city in many directions at a rapid │* speed and at frequent intervals at cheap

rates.

great

The commission recommends extension of tramways, with through com- munication between different systems; also an extension of railways within the contral aron. It also advises the establishment of Central Traffic Board, with functions of an advisory and semi official character, and the appointment of an advisory board of engineers.

# 2

Mainly as a scheme for ultimate realiga. tion, the commission recommends,, if it is financially possible, the construction of two main thoroughfares though London, one from went to east, and the other from north o sonth, each with four lines of tramways on the surface, and four lines of railways below, the surfne, the motive power to be electricity.

The probible cost of this latter auliemo is put down at £24,000,000.

The commision is not unanimous in its

report.

པ

The commission considers that even if the municipality finds the money for construc "tion, it would be bet er to lense the tram- ways to a private company if the municipality desires a reasonable profit.

The Royal Commission on London Trattic was composed of many eminent men, and included mmbers of Parliament, civil énginkers of great repute, and prominent bankers. The length of its sittings, two years and six months, iu ovidence that all available proposals have been thoroughly sifted, and from the report, of which we give a summary above, it is gathored that a most comprehensivo scheme has been draft- ed for relieving the overcrowded state of London, and bringing the workers, who will thus be able to remove to healthier surroundings, quickly and cheaply to their daily labour in the Empire's metropolis. Both paragraphs of the Commission's terms of referonco have been fulfilled, for it was appointed to inquire into the means of locomotion and transport in London, and to report (a) as to the measures it deems most effectual for the improvement of the

same by the development and inter- connection of railways and tramways on or below the surface, by increasing the facilities for other forms of mechanical locomotion, by better provision for the organisation of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, or otherwise, and (b) as to the desirability of establishing some authority or tribunal to which all schemes of railway or tramway construction of a local charactor should be referrod, and the powers which it should be desirable to confer on such a body.]
