Mr. Lloyd George urged his .colleagues to Rive

some thought,

even during vacation," to the question of cutting down Government expenditare. I wish to improve on the Prime Minister's suggestion. Why should not Ministers find time during their holidays to look ar one or two White Elephants for themselves ?

The suggestion may, indeed, be still further amplified. The general public, who are now travelling in such numbers about the country, ought to spend a little time on, the trail of White Elephants. They will then begin to realise where the money went; and where it is still going.

.

Wherever you happen to be stay. ing, there is no need to go very far. I am beginning to believe that if you went up in an aeroplane, and alight ed at random in any part of Great Britain, you could find a Government White Elephant within a radius of twenty-five miles. For one whose existence has been disclosed in the newspapers there are dozens which continue to languish unseen.

Only a small part of the Didcot depot is visible from the railway. It is said to cover eight square miles and to contain enough war material to supply an army, big enough to conquer half the world. The place is not easy to inspect in detail, for the Government are learning a thing or two, and the inquiring taxpayer is warned off. His duty is confined to paying.

One day recently I made a pious pilgrimage along the Severn estuary to Chepstow and Beachley, sacred banceforth and for ever to the memory of. Sir Eric Geddes and General Collard.
