Quo nf the most, interesting analysis in the Geddcs report is (writes the ‘Saturday Review’) the comparative table set out of the salaries current in the three services, An examination of this shows that the State "is employing directly a- total of 89.1,000 persons, of whom fewer than half are in the Civil Service. The total salaries for which tbs State, is responsible amount to £227,000,000, as compared with £90,000,000 before the war. Tno country has thus an opportunity of seeing how thoroughly it is being bureaucratised and how heavy is the burden of cost. It also i transpires that tho fighting services aro |on the whole far more generously paid than tho Civil Service. Seeing that the cost of living to Civil servants is far more onerous than to tho uniformed service, the entire question of Government salaries should bo surveyed as a whole and put I upon a more equitable basis. The salaries of tho higher grades of tho Civil .Service are incredibly lower than those current for similar work and responsibility in any other posts in the country. For Bronchia!
