Legge, Asnentioned in an earlier- article, in addition to the conference which we had with Britain's Prince Minis- ter, wo had informal meetings with' a number of the Cabinet Ministers. Naturally as editor's we were par- tieelarly interested in meeting the Minister of Information, the Hou. Brendan Bracken. Before his appoint- ment to this post in- July, 1941, Mr. Bracken: was Parliamentary Secret- ,ai'y to Prime Minister Churchill, He has practical publishing experience, having been editor of "The Banker", chairman of the "Financial News", and managing director of "The Econ- omist." Mr, Bracken is the fourth man to have held the Ministry of Information post since the bgeinning of the war. Our conference with liim wasan inspiring one. He told us something about what England is doing, "The people of England," he said, "ase wonting harder than any outer peo• ple have in any war. A series of no- thing but misfortunes has not de- stroyed our senses. The English peo- ple are all out in their war effort, but they will still do more. Whatever happens, the English will never sur- render, We will see this thing through to the absolute end. "Some people think that after the war, England will give up her Em- pire and Imperialism. This is entire- ly wrong. We will not sell our limit - age for a mess of potage, We have an immense constribution to pay to posterity, and no government will ever agree to the dismemberment of the British Empire, "The British lion is not a mangy dying animal, nor will he be confined in an iron cage. Only in the years to come will the effort of England be really understood." Such was part of the message that the Hon. Brendan Bracken had for us. We found the Ministry of Informa- tion most co-operative during our stay in England. The passes issued by that department were so effective that the others which had been is- sued to us were almost superfluous. We met the Hon. Ernest Bevan, Minister of Labor, in his office and had a talk with him. Mr, Bevan was born in 1884 and started his career as a truck driver, was general secret- ary ecretary of the Transport Workers' Union, and, in 1940, became Minister of La- bor and National Service. Some peo- ple think that he may some day be Prime Minister. His is one of the most important tasks today, for Britain is manning the world's greatest navy, maintain- ing armies in many parts of the world, supplying a steady stream of youths for the RAF., keeping up home defences, fire fighting and ARP services, and steadily increasing pro- duction of war supplies. No wonder that he told us there was no such thing as a satul•ation point in man- power. He has made a wonderful success of his task, but it must be rememb- ered that this result could not have been attained without ,the enthusias- tic co-operation of the entire papula - ion. In answer to our question he said hat there is very little wilful absen- eeism. But when we asked him bout labor troubles in certain places, eimpatiently. replied that the news- apers had to make news, and "vir- ue has no news value," • He thinks that the war is teaching the United Kingdom a great real bout transportation which will have n effect after the war is over. We had an interesting conference with the Hon, L. S. Amery; who is ecretary for India and Burma. He old us a great deal about the trou- lesome elements in India. Most of s went away with a new conception f the India problem. We also began realize how litle most people know bout it. Mr. Amery has travelled in most arts of the world, and as we left, e .Said, "I wish the war were over that I -could pay another visit to anada." The last conference we had was ith Sir R. Stafford Cripps, who Is obably better known to Canadians an any other minister except the rime Minister. He has been a very ecessful legal counsellor, and is w Lord Privy Seal. He has a, very attractive personal- ty, a keen mind, and our whole int; ession of him was entirely favor- le.oIt was an intensely interesting nference, for he spoke of Russia d his mission to that country, and out India and the failure of his ssion there.
