  • Description: WE notice with much pleasure that in the newGovernment Mr. H. A. L. Fisher will remain thePresident of the Board of Education and Mr. R. E.Prothero, upon whom a peerage has been conferred,President of the Board of Agriculture. Dr. C.Addison becomes President of the Local GovernmentBoard, and is succeeded in what becomes the-Ministry.of National Service and Reconstruction by Sir Auckland Geddes. Sir Albert Stanley continues Presidentof the Board of Trade. Other appointments are:-Minister of Munitions (to become Minister of Supply), Mr. Andrew Weir, upon whom a peerage has been conferred; Food Controller, Mr. G. H. Roberts; FirstCommissioner of Works, Sir Alfred Mond. The mainchanges in the Government, however, are of a politicalkind, and there is not that breaking away from traditional methods which Mr, Lloyd George may-have desired, but found circumstances too strong for him toaccomplish. We are glad to note, therefore, that SirAuckland Geddes, speaking on January 10, stated that "the Prime Minister has decided after long thought-it was undoubtedly, reinforced by the finding of LordHaldarie's Committee on the Machinery of Government-that,it is absolutely, ecessary that in the newGovernment/there should be a great organ for research,for investigation, and for the collection of information."
