Tee chissilieatiun lias nut yet been arranged, but there were no differences in the. way. His own opinion was t.heie should I) : a system of anilllul innroinen's provided by A.t for salaries) up to, say, fISO a year, tin id, a being to secure the nec-ssiry adequate ie. numeration for eloiicil labour, i.'e looked upon tlio retrenchm«nt as the outcome nf litter disorganisation of tins _ Unit Service. There was a want of unity in the .service, all departmental aclion being independent. Ko thought tlio loyalty of the Civil Service to whatever Government was in power was beyond question, and ridiculed the ideu that the American system was being introduced. He entirely approved of the Civil Service Association, and thought it could be productive of a great deal of good. The Civil Servico Bill will be one of the earliest measures introduced next session.
