BRITISH CABINET CHANGES
MORE EXPECTED. MR. CHURCHILL CRITICISED. LONDON, July 22. It is expected that Mr. Churchill will shortly announce further Cabinet changes, including the appointment of Ministers of Production and Civil Defence. Criticism of the limited nature ot the recent Cabinet changes persists in all quarters. A. J. Cummings, writing in the “News-Chronicle,” reflects the tone of the general comment, when he says: ‘‘The Ministerial changes leave me stone cold, and 1 doubt if the public pulse beats any more actively. The Prime Minister shifts men about like pawns on a chessboard, then having had his fun, he returns to the job of trying to perform half-a-dozen tasks off his own broad willow bat.” ARMY PROMOTION. RUGBY, Jtlly 22. Replying to a Commons question, the War Secretary (Captain Margesson), said he was satisfied that the system of promotion to commissioned rank in the army was based entirely on merit, and was free of any suggestion ot favouritism or the use of influence.
