An enormous quantity of work during the last few months has been thrown upon the Ministers of the Crown, especially the Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, and they had to decline numbers of invitations to public functions says the “ Post.” In the Prime Minister’s office, and that of the Minister for Defence, extra clerical assistance has had to be em-
ployed to deal with the correspondence. Mr Massey has kept the Imperial Meat Supply Branch under his own supervision, and deals with all arrangements for procuring insulated ships and matters of that sort, though the actual allocation of space is done by the Shipping Committee appointed by the Board of Trade. Every day from 120 to 150 letters and about 100 files have to go through Mr Massey’s hands.
