NO SUBSTANTIAL HARDSHIP From the point of view of the Civil Servants, it cannot be scr-" lously suggested that a permanent reduction of such a small percent- age Involves any substantial hard- ship; on the contrary I do not see why the Civil Servants should not gladly accept this sacrifice as their contribution to the solution of very important and complicated problem.

Frankly I do no like the pro- posed levy, for the reasons I have endeavoured to set out, but unless and until Government can place before us some other acceptable solution of the salary question. I feel that I cannot do otherwise than to vote for this Bil

Regarding the first of these, very lar reaching proposals for a revi- ston of salary scales have within the past few days been received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

1 London, April 6. One of the greatest will surprises yesterday that Mr. Samuel Ryder, head of the famous seed firm, and the donor of the Ryder Cup. has left for probate only £28,233, with ret personalty, £18 597.

He had for many years been, looked upon as a millionaire. He was a princely dorior to golf, and paid Abe Mitchell £1,000 a year as his private professional.

He left £1,000 and his effects to his wife, and, after certain pe- quests, the residue of the property to his wife and three daughters.

No mention of golf is made in the will.
