ECONOMIC PLANNING
APPOINTMENTS IN BRITAIN. OUTSPOKEN PRESS CRITICISM. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, October 15. All sections of the Press criticise the Government's economic and financial planning, the chief complaint being that it has not yet realised the magnitude. of the task. Sir John Simon's appointment as chairman of the Committee of Economic Co-ordination is considered to be fantastic. Some papers point out that Sir John has not the slightest qualifications for the job. Sir John Gilmour’s appointment as director of the Shipping Ministry has similarly disappointed the Press. In the city there is an undercurrent of feeling that as the war proceeds there will be no room for key jobs for political hacks and those whose talents are merely forensic.
