LONDON AIR-MAIL LETTER

LG.'s" War Cabinet: New Head For Harrow: New Waterloo Bridge: The Stavisky Case: White House Secre taries: Mussolini Neutral: Lord

Sankey's Task:

(Special Air-mall Service)

London, Aprli 1.

One of the measures taken by Mr. Lloyd George for the more vigorous prosecution of, the War was the formation of the Imperial War Cabinet-an inner directing Cabinet, which should not be con- cerned with purely departmental business.

Recently, the Ministerial Dis- armament Committee, which held an importänt meeting yesterday. has come to take on the same sort of directing function as the War Cabinet.

The Committee has. I gather. been entrusted with full Cabinet powers of decision. This distin- gulshes it from. an ordinary Cabinet Committee, whose recom- mendations have to receive the endorsement of a full meeting.

NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL

No, real departure from Con- stitutional practice is involved, since the Disarmament Commit- tee. presided over by the Prime Minister, includes all the leading members of the "Cabinet

stood in the mid-eighteenth cen- tury...

Needle-makers, sign-painters, glovers, print-sellers, and dealers in many small wares kept the little shops on the bridge, from which the City Corporation draw rents. To this day the City appoints a bridge-master. There had been demolition of many of its houses before the last were swept away In 1757-8.

By the final clearance the City lost £828 a year rentals-then a Imuch larger sum than to-day.

*** A. CONTINUALL STREET"

This is how the Elizabethan, John Lyly, described it:

"His three personal private secre- tarles Col. Louis Howe, Stephen Early, and Col. McIntyre, have not been pulling together. Or the three, Col. Bowe is the most important having been the President's personal assistant for the best part of a quarter of a century.

He is the "policy man," and is on such terms of intimacy with his chief that he lives in the White House and calls Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt by their Christian

KLATIVES.

The quarrel arose through Mr. Early refusing point-blank to carry cut Col Howe's instructions when Col. the latter was ill recently. McIntyre similarly incurred Col Howe's "displeasure.

The President, however, succeed- ed in justifying his junior subordi- nates without offending Col. Howe.

SIGNOR MUSSOLINI-NEUTRAL

Signor Mussolini does not often have the chance of being a neutral in domestic quarrels. He had it on Saturday night, though his at- titudé has since become clear.

RESTRICTION OF ASSİZES

Lord. Sankey's task in deciding whether to abolish assizes at cer- tain towns is unenviable. Lord Hanworth's Committee recom- mended the step. The Bar Cour- cut and the Council of the Law Society, however, show reticence on this matter.

Local opinion is also against the change. Thus, the Westmore- land County Counell have protest-
