BEAUTY SPOTS
SAFEGUARDING THEM IN ENGLAND. Pleading that the movement for the. safeguarding of England’s beauty spots be more generously supported, Mr Keeling. Labour member for Twickenham, said:—We spend £400,000 a year on the. London Museums, largely on the care of works of art. We gave £50,000 for the Codex Sinaiticus. Could we not spare something for the preservation of rural England, which is- itself a work of art, not the work of God alone, but also of man? Its flowering hedgerows, fields, woodlands and villages are all part of our English civilisation, which has taken, centuries to mature. Is net such a native masterpiece as well worth preserving as the masterpieces of "foreign artists?
