JUDGMENT THAT MUST BE RESPECTED Run your eye carefully over the following names at the same time considering carefully whether “ there is even one person in New Zealand whose knowledge and judgment is superior to that of their unanimous opinion:— Archbishop of Canterbury. Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin. Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain. Lord Askwith. Right Hon. Winston Churchill. Earl Haig. Sir Phillip Gibbs. Sir Walter Scott. Lord Birkenhead. Beverley Nicholls. Arnold Bennett. G. K. Chesterton. Lord Dawson of Penn. Lord Horder. Cardinal Gibbons. Bishop of Hereford. Bishop of Chester. Bishop of Worcester. Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney. Sir Basil Thomson. Miss Annie S. Swan. Rebecca West. Cosmo Hamilton. Jeffrey Famol.
