GORDON CHILDE'S WORK

A SWIFT DECISION

LONDON RESEARCH OFFICER

GORDON CHILDE'S WORK

It was common knowledge in political circles

yesterday that the new Government has ar

rived at a swift decision In regard to the so-

called research work which was being carried

out in London by Mr. Gordon Childe.

It will be romembfered that Mr. Child, a

gentleman somewhat advanced In political

thought and of brilliant scholastic attainments,

was at one time private' secretary "to the late

Mr. John Storey at the Premier's Depart-

ment. It was while occupying the latter post

that the Storey Government conceived the Idea

of sending him to England to carry out his

research duties. Evidently the present Gov-

ernment did not assess the duties' entrusted

to Mr. Childe at the value put upon them by a

previous Ministry, and tbe appointment has

been terminated.

There are persistent rumors that some other

appointments are to come under review at a

very early date.
