THE PROGRAMME FOR THE SESSIÓN.
DHINESE FLOUR.
The Daily Express, which seems to specialise in scares and sensations about Chiasso people and things, is working up an agitation over imports of Chinese flour into this country. As your readers are aware, the British Wheat Commission bought a large quantity at a very satis factory price, and, in order that it may Beldom has there been a year when the be disposed of, millers, who are still under King's speech at the opening of Parlia-obliged to use a certain proportion with control by the Ministry of Food, are ment, had fewer elements of surprise other flours sold to bakers, There is This was due to the fact that Ministers of course, the farmers do not like it an nothing unreasonable in this, although, in the course of last Session announced it means competition in foodstuffs, and their intentions, chief among which is a tends to keep down the price of English determination to restrict legislation to themitted a sample of Chinese flour to an wheat. But, the Express having sub have time to give much-needed attention the four as minimum in order that Parliament may analyist got a report from him describing damaged stuff, infested to financial and administrativo problems,
unfit for human consumption." and in order, also, that an Autumn Session may be avoided, if possible.
We have heard similar intrations de clared before, and seen them falsified by events; but on this occasion the Govern
ment are bent on a short Session, The House shares the desire. Even so, reform of the Second Chamber, a Licensing Bill and a measure to protect key Indus tries (which really means Tariff Reform under another name) constitute what would have been considered not long ago a full year's work. All of these subjects are dificult and acutely controversial.
CABINET CHANGES. *•
The general opinion is that the Prime Minister has shown characteristic dox terity to make the best of things in the reconstruction of the Government which has been announced this week Thore signation of Lord Milner, who has done splendid service at the Colonial Office, has been a matter of public knowledge for some time. I referred to this subject some time ago in this correspondence. It ia one of the apt coincidences of history that the triumph of General Smuts in the Bouth African elections comes just at the moment when it throws a significant light on the achievements of Lord Milner's
career.
