Sir John Lonsdale asked whetner. in view of the fact that in the opinion of the Government that thrrv, Can- adian Dreadnoughts were not addi- tional to the "whole world"' require- ments of tho British Empire, it was proposed in the event of any delay in laying down these siiips to introduce supplementary estimates providing for the commencement of three additional vessels :n the current year. Mr. Churchill; That new situation which has arisen requires, and will TP- ceive the attention of the Govern- ment. Sir John Lonsdale: if these three vessels are not commenced this year, will not the Navy tall below the re- quirements of the Empire, Mr. Churchill: I cannot add any- thing to the answer which I ve given. Mr Arthur Lee: Can the Right lIon, gentleman give us any idea when he will he able to make a statement on this ycry vjtal question. (Opposition cheers). Mr. Churchill: J should hope that during the present month the point raised this question would be the sub- ject of a statement from this bench. German Spy's imprisonment. Mr. King asked the Home Secretary whether Hemrioh Grossee, who in February last year was sentenced at Winchester to 3 years' penal servitude, was a. German subject, and whether it was intended to release him before his sentence was completed. Mr. McKenna said the answer to the first part of the question was in tho affirmative. With regard to the secondi part., he could add nothing to tho answer ho gave last week. The matter was engaging the immediate atten- i tion of both himself and the Foreign; Secretary. Armament Companies' interests. Mr. King asked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the financial interest which Br.tish armament com- panies dcig work in contracts for the Government had in. making foreign Powers a. more formidable mejiaee in certain events to our national safety, he wstild institute an mquiry into the j undertakings of these companies in order to determine whether the pre-I sent system of contracting with them was in the national interest. Mr. Asquith said lie saw no sufficient reason for instituting the inquiry which the hon. gentleman suggested. Mr. King Has the right hon. gentleman been noticing certain re- velations made during his absence abroad, and if he has not done so will he take an early opportunity of III- quiring into this matter in the light of the fresh disclosures?

LAND REFORM. STRONG SPEECH By SIR JOHN SIMON ON THE GOVERNMENT'S POLICY. Sir John Simon, the Solicitor-General, replying to the to?t of "The Liberal Party" at the combined dinner of tho Russell and Palmerstou and the Fighty Clubs, the object 'of which was to in- augurate the Oxford University Liberal Club, fcsaid: "The courage and deter- mination of the Liberal Party were never more keen; wo arc magnificently led by our generals; we are anxiously awaiting tho order to go jolwa-ld. Seventy Years of Change. I Tho condition of .F:gland has indeed greatly changed in the last seventy years which have elapsed; real wages have nearly doubled; commerce has ex- panded a-s barrters to its growth have been thrown down; nearly all the neces- sities in life have been red uced in price to their natural but while wealth has found new means of enjoyment wmeh It can ??t'stv. poverty has 0111? found new aspirations which it cannot found new IN-!]ICII it calill(?)t sat, fy. iii hi.,i day that the en j DyCki le,?3 ?.onomtc iu?epcj?cnoe thaTi that of any country in tho world. It is true, eveu to-day, that tho labourer earns a lamentably low wage, and too often lives in a picturesque but Insanitary 1 cottage, his tenancy of which depends on the good will oi the owner who em- ploys him. It is still true, in 6pite of greatly improved administration, that hovels unlit for human habitation can- not 00 closed as the law directs, be- cause those who shelter in them have nowhere to do. We still livo under a system of tenure by which the owner, of land can rent hus tenant on what the te-naiat, has made his premies worth and under a system of rating which penalises an occupier in proportion as he expends capital and enterprise in increasing the value of his holding. Depopulating the island. I In a email inland with an ever-in-I creasing population, the countryside is atually lOOlng many of ita inhabitants. Ouo in every forty of our agricultural labourers emigrated from England la-st year, apart from emigration to the towns. On national grounds we can- not afford to wait.

WOSST FOR SGME TiME.' CRITIC¡SMS OF H PEGTOifS HEPGRT Gii iMUSTRiAL SCHOOL. I CHANCES IN THE STAFF A meeting of the Swansea School Attendance Industrial School Sub- Committee was held on Monday, Mr. J. Powlossland presiding. The Superintendent; (Mr. J. Edwards) reported that there had been no ad- missions to the school during the month. One boy had been discharged. The total in the school wats 6.), All the boys were ill good nealth. The Superintendent also reported that arrangements were being made to take the boys on their annua louting to the bays. inspector's Report. I I A report W;>6 received from All-. J. A. Pearson \H.M. Acting Chief In- spector of industrial Schools). With regard to the schoolroom education the report stated that in certain respects the level of schoolroom efficiency ap- peared to have deteriorated since last i year. A good course of manual in- struction was provided for the boys, and the models made during the year showed careiul, and, as a accurate a rtl  O.' acclirate workmanship. Fitieen boys had left during the year; lour had been placed Oil farms; ^cven were employed at the various metal works in the district two were grocer's assistants. Nine of the situations were found by ».he school, a much better record than, last year. With regard to physical training, the present instructor had con- siderably improved both the Y6- tem of exorcises a.nd the general smartness of the boys. The arrange- ments, however, were still the same as last year, which, were reported as un- satisfactory. The school A, -as behind other schools of a similar kind in dental treatment, but w.th the certification of the school clinic already joined in Swan- sea it was understood that proper atten- tion would be given to this important matt-cr. The general health had been very go<,d during the year, and the beh avionr appeared to have been good. Weakening Effect of Changes. I The report concluded as follows:— The present assistant schoolmaster is the third to be employed in the school this year. These changes may, to some extent, account iar the weakness of the schoolroom work, but even so it is evident that special effort is neces- sary to secure the desired improve- ment. The general work of the in- stitution appeal's to be steadily and in- dustriously carried on. The boys arc evidently well carod for domestically. While the general discipline has im- proved, it would be to the boys' ad- vantage if the smarter bearing were cultivated. This is all the possi- ble seeing that they appear to be ot a cheerful and willing disposition. The Superintendent pays periodical visits to all the boys within reach it is a. matter for regret, however, that a good num- ber of the boys still go straight Irom the scnoo l back to their own homes. I Mr. Powlesiand thought they had nothing to complain of with regard to I the report. The Worst for Some Time." The Superintendent said it was the worst report they had had for some time, and he was not at all satisfied with it. Mr. Halden (clerk) said the education part of it was not satisfactory. Per- haps the inspector did not realise the class of lads with whom they had to deal. The Superintendent said he thought it was hardly fair that a new man should be sent down. The headmaster, Mr. David, had worked hard, and he was sorry for him. AVith regard to the ar- rangement for physical training they had been altered to meet the suggestion of the inspector.

He became a yearly servant of deceased at the rate of £ 12 10s. per annum, together with food and loagings. He received his wages weekly a", he wanted them, and he slept above one of the out- houses 01 the farm. There was bailie blight unpleasantness b-etween accused and master about the mouey, and \1. consequence of that L, ai-e a month's notice to the deceased to leave his service on May 1st, upon which day there was about tts. wageii duo to him. About 8 p.m. on May 1st Harper went to the Sexton Arms with a man na-med William James, Bankyian, Llansadwrn, and on the way made a statement to him. Recognisances Forfeited. It now transpired that Wm. James had not put in an appearance, and later on the judge granted a bench warrant for his arrest and forfeited his recog- nisances. Continuing, Mr. Bowen stated that after going up to the Sextou Arms, Harper called at the shop of Isaac Jones, grocer, Llansadwrn, and bought one cartridge, for which he paid a penny. He then asked John Vaughan I Thomas, of Pen rock, Llansadwrn, lor the loan of a gun, stating that Thomas Jones, of Dretach, had asked him to j go up and shoot rabbits. John V.

The master fell down and exclaimed: "011. dear dear," and at 8.15 a.m. lie died. Prisoner as soon as lie had shot Thomas ran into a field at the rear of j the farm house and there he appeared to have shot himself with the gun. j Counsel added that if the iury al- lowed a miserable dispute between; master and servant to be put forward i as a reasonable excuse for provocation, j sufficient to commit a crime of this1 sort, it would be a very dangerous pre- cedent, and it would be very difficult to protect the public. It was a clear murder, and the consequence of the, iaw must follow. { The Evidence. Esther Thomas, sister of the de- cease(I IIVini,, with him on the farm j bore out counsel's statements.
