Lord Derby already knows the War Office and he also
knows a good deal about commerce, and should be of assistance to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Amery becomes First Lord of the Admiralty— a promotion to which he is well entitled. Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame is President of the Board of Trade, and Sir Arthur Griffith-Boseawen Minister of Health. The appointment of Lord Novar, well known in many departments as Mr. Munro-Ferguson, to be Secretary of State for Scotland, is one of great interest. Lord Novar has, of course, hitherto been a member of the Independent Liberal Party. By joining the Ministry he has gone even further than Mr. McKenna and Lord Grey of Fallodon in showing his sympathy. He is a man universally and justly respected, and his appointment is sure to be popular in Scotland.
