UNNECESSARY ANXIETY. LONDON, September 15. Maintaining that the position of Prime Minister is no place for a poor man. and pointing out- that Mr I{am-t-ay Ata< Donald, owing to his position, is far worse off materially than any of the other Secretaries of State, Sir Robert Donald, chairman of the Empire Press Union, in a letter to the “Times,” oppresses the opinion that this state of things ought- not Jo be allowed to continue. Flier© will be other Prime Ministers whose means also will be unequal to the financial burden of the office. The Prime Minister* of Continental countries, it is pointed out. have of-ficially-maintained resiliences, large entertainment, allowances, and even officially-endowed motor-cars. 'M r Robert thinks it- unworthy of a great • •ountry to allow it-s highest officer to bo placed, in pn undignified position by their being handicapped in the efficient discharge of their duties in | unnecessary financial anxiety. - *
