64. Sir H. DALZIEL

asked whether Professor Ethe, an unnaturalised German, who was compelled to leave Aberystwyth by the inhabitants, is now being employed on work for the Government; and, if so, what is its nature and what is the amount of his remuneration?

Mr. SAMUEL

I understand that the professor referred to is an Oriental scholar who, during his forty-three years' residence in this country, has done work for the University of Oxford, the University College of Wales, and the India Office, I am informed that he is still doing such work, but I am not aware of the character or conditions of his employment.

Mr. R. GWYNNE

Does the right hon. Gentleman admit that this man is an unnaturalised German?

Mr. SAMUEL

Yes, Sir.
