BISHOP JULIUS.
ENGLAND'S ECONOMIC CONDITION,
By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 9, 12.30 a.m. Adelaide. December 8. The Commonwealth Club gave a luncheon to Bishop Julius. In the course of an address dealing with the economic conditions in England, Bishop Julius said that his recent visit showed enormous changes for the better in London. Since he left, the dens in the East End and elsewhere had been replaced by great buildings and broad streets, but the conditions of the people were really no better. Two things were forced on his notice: the inordinate luxury on the one hand, and the miserable poverty on the other. The luxury was of the American type, mostly ostentatious, and a provocative to every kind of bitterness. Poverty was the same as .ever, only a great deal more bitter than formerly.
