The expert assessors of the Commission include Mr. Brace, who

has been a coal miner, a trade union official, and an Under-Secretary in the Coalition Government. We cannot believe that the miners of the country will not be satisfied that he will represent the views and interests of the Miners' Federation fairly and energetically and with much greater weight than any of the less experi- enced . men who have come forward lately as prominent leaders in their Federation. The others are :—Dr. Walcot Gibson, a distinguished Geologist, Dr. Lander, a scientist who has been working as Director of Fuel Research, and Major Hudspeth, a Divisional Inspector of Mines. These men ought to inspire confidence by their knowledge of the past, present and possible future of the industry. • * *
