AN ANGRY ANSWER.
CONCERNING AN APPOINTMENT. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received April 29, 9.10 a.m.) LONDON, April 28. Questioned in the House of Commone regarding the appointment of Sir E. J. Soares to an office in the Treasury, Mr C. E. Hobhouse, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, suggested that Mr Norman Craig, Unionist member for the Isle of Thanet, who asked -the question, possibly, despised education, and added that Mr Soares was a first-class prize-man at his college Perhaps Mr Craig despised that also. - The Speaker (the Right Hon. W. Lowther), interposing, deprecated offensive allusions, and censured Mr Hobhouse for going out of the way to suggest that Mr Craig did not appreciate intellect or knowledge, Mr Hobhouse: I only judged by his demeanour. The Speaker retorted severely that that again was unnecessarily offensive expression. (Mr Norman Craig, K.C., attacked by Mr Hobhouse, is one of the most brilliant barristers of the day. He was educated at Bedford and Cambridge University, and was 'a classical scholar at Peterhouse.)
