Of members of the cabinet, William Joyn-
son-Hicks, member for the Brentford d.
vision of Middlesex, drew attention to the
condition Of the royal flying corps and
the naval air service. He said there
was great dissatisfaction connected with
the naval air service in regard to the or

chief who knew nothing about air craft
above the heads of those who in fact
had built up the fabric of the service.
1t was important, added the member,
that England should have large, new
aeroplanes for the offensive next spring
in order to meet the new airships and
new aeroplanes which the Germans were
building. He asked why work on an Eng

Globes Position

Sir John Simon. home secretary.
pointed out that the Globe was in an
entirely different position from the
other papers. in that it had ignored the
warning of the Press Bureau on Thurs
day night in the form of request made
to all the papers that no references
should be made to Earl Kitchener
movements until further notice.
The next day the Globe and the Globe
alone published the statement that Earl
Kitchener had resigned because he had
ouarreled with his colleagues. When a
denial was issued, the Globe repeated the
statement, thus saying in effect that the
government was lying.
Under the circumstances it was the
duty of the government to correct that
false impression and prevent further cir
culation Of the lie in the most summary
and direct way. If a paper would not
listen to the government warning in a
crisis such as this, it must listen when the
government acted. If the proprietors
thought they had ground for action, the
government would offer every facility for
these proceedings to be accelerated.
