BISHOP JULIUS
IMPRESSIONS OF ENGLAND,
THE BITTERNESS OF POVERTY.
(Received This Morning, 12.30 o'clock.) ADELAIDE. December 8., j The Com men wealth Club gave a complimentary luncheon to Bishop Julius, on his return from England. In the course of an address, dealing with the economic conditions of England, Bishop Julius said that his recent visit, showed enormous changes for the ; better in London since lie left it. The ' dense East End, and elsewhere, had beeii replaced by great buildings and broad streets, but the conditions of the people were really no better. Two things forced his notice, inamel.y. the inordinate luxury, on the one hand,, and the miserable poverty on the J other. There was luxury of the I American type, most ostentatious and ' provocative, and every kind of bitterness and poverty. The poor people were a great deal more bitter tban, formerly. He expected the time to ! come when it would be difficult to se- ; cure the interference of the military [in industrial strikes. Little shops I and small institutions had cojne to an ; end. England was now a place of great concerns, which were .swiTtly takI i.rtg the bread from the mouths of the smaller tradesmen.
