Scotland claims so many of the Prime Ministers and Archbishops .of Canterbury of recent years that it would not be surprising to find the Northern Kingdom providing a good proportion of Chancellors of the Exchequer as well, especially in view of the Scottish genius for lo»king after the bawbees, says a London newspaper. In reality, however, only two Chancellors in the last 100 years were borjii in Scotland— Sir Robert Home and the first Lord Ritchie. Mr. Neville Chamberlain was born in Birmingham—and so, waa his brother, Sir Austen, who was Chancellor thirty years ago. London can claim Disraeli and a number of others. Among the counties, Yorkshire can boast of three great names —Lord Snowden, the lote Karl of Oxford and Asquith, and Sir. William Hatcourt. But Lancashire can show three who are possibly still "more famous—Mr. Lloyd George, who was born .in Manchester, Gladstone, and Sir Robert Peel.
