BISHOP JULIUS.
SPEECH AT ADELAIDE, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND. By Telenranh-Press Association-Conyrinht Adelaide, December 8. The Commonwealth Club entertained the Anglican Bishop of Chrisiclnirch (Dr. Julius) at luncheon. In the course of an address dealing with the economic conditions in England, the Bishop said, his recent visit to England showed him that enormous changes for the better had taken place in London since he left. Dens in the East End and elsewhere had been replaced by great buildings and broad streets, but the condition of the people was really no better. Two things forced themselves on his notice, namely inordinate luxury on the one hand amd miserable poverty on tho other. The luxury was of the American type, mostly ostentatious and provocative' of every kind of bitterness. The poverty was the same as ever, only a great deal more bitter than formerly. He expected the time would come when it would be difficult to secure the interference of the military in industrial strikes. Little shops and small institutions were coming to an end in England, and great concerns wero swiftly taking the bread out of tho mouths of the smaller tradesmen.
