...system under which the physical and mental efficiency of the worker shall not be sacrificed to the profit of the employer. That was the resolution proposed. There was an amendment proposed by a Mr. Stokes, of the Glassblowers, to add this sentence: And as one means to this end, methods should be adopted which will restrict or prevent the importation of cheap manufactured goods, which have...
Mr Frederick Kellaway: ...for some time after its commencement this country was without a light trench mortar. No manufacturing capacity had been developed. There was no reserve, and it was a civilian engineer, Mr. Wilfrid Stokes, who saved the situation. The Stokes mortar, which in the end was the most perfect of the light mortars in the field, was first brought forward in January, 1915, and submitted to the...

Viscount Turnour: There are, to the best of my information, an American named Stokes, and a European named Miller in prison at present. The former in December last, on an information that he was disseminating sedition, refused to give security to be of good behaviour and was sent to jail in default for a period of six months. I have already explained the sentence passed on Miller. In Indian jails all Europeans...
Mr William Bridgeman: ...I receive your general report, I shall be in a better position to send an officer to discuss matters with you. I consider it too much of a risk for you to report here. We have been informed that Stokes guns can be purchased in England. I daresay you have done your utmost as to the possibility of securing small artillery. You realise that one of these, with sufficient shells, would finish...
Mr John Jones: ...opportunity of fully considering the situation and electing the officers of this House in accordance with the position of the people who have given their decision. The hon. and gallant Member for Stoke (Lt.-Col. J. Ward), who always stokes up, who is always lecturing us on this side of the House about our imperfections, has, I am glad to see, turned over to the other side of the House. We...
Phelps-Stokes Commission (Report).
Advertisement Regulation (India Office Stokes).
Lieut-Colonel Leo Amery: ...to the medical officers who are working, often in great difficulties, all over the Empire. I feel, with regard to the great question of education that we all owe a great debt, not only to the Phelp-Stokes Committee, which has been studying the work of education in the Colonies, but also to the Advisory Committee on Education in the Colonial Office, which has been sitting now for a...
Sir Kingsley Wood: My right hon. Friend has made inquiries and is informed that the Guardians of the Parish of Bermondsey have granted to Mr. I. Stokes, relieving officer, power to apply to the clerk to the guardians for reasonable leave of absence, not entailing the engagement of any substitute for Mr. Stokes, for the purpose of carrying out duties as Mayor of Bermondsey.

Sir Gerald Hurst: 10. asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received a report from the British Consul at Genoa, or from any other source, as to the treatment of Mr. R. R. Stokes, M.C., a British traveller in Italy, by Fascisti railway officials in a guardroom at Genoa, upon Mr. Stokes objecting to pay luggage charges twice over; what action he has taken in this matter; and whether an...
Viscount Sandon: 57. asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the experiences of Mr. R. R. Stokes at Genoa; and what action the Foreign Office are taking in the matter?
Mr Harry Day: 3. asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, in view of the fact that Mr. R. R. Stokes, of Cambridge, was assaulted by Fascisti at Genoa during a recent visit, he will state what action is being taken by the British Consul at Genoa to afford protection to British visitors?
Mr Rennie Smith: ...the Foreign Secretary the opinion of an American visitor to Abyssinia with regard to the mental qualities of the average children of Abyssinia. This quotation is taken from the report of the Phelps-Stokes Commission which investigated especially the educational problem of the Eastern States of Africa. This is the judgment which this gentleman formed: I have never met an Abyssinian who was...
Mr Shapurji Saklatvala: ...we will not touch your buildings." That is an exact parallel. The only salvation for the miners is in an appeal to their brethren in the trade union movement. They should appeal to every man who stokes a boiler or a locomotive to say that he would not touch foreign coal, and to tell his employer, "If you want coal, get British coal and come to terms with the British miner." The same signal...
Mr Morgan Jones: .... Sir Hugh Clifford, who himself is very well known in those parts of the world, has already said that the provision for education is pitifully small—those are his very words; and the Phelps-Stokes Commission also emphasised the extraordinary paucity of the arrangements with regard to education and development. The hon. Gentleman has directed our attention to page 40 of the Schuster...
...in respect of its remarkable economic development in the course of the last few years. Even there, where there is money available wholly for educational purposes, it was possible for the Phelps-Stokes Commission to report: With all the wealth of agricultural resources in the Protectorate, there is not a single agricultural School to prepare the natives to take advantage of their wealth....
Sir Richard Wells: ...been strengthened and raised and the rivers deepened and the discharge through Denver sluice much improved. The water in the Little Ouse and Wissey has been lowered and shows, at Wilton Bridge and Stokes Ferry Bridge, a lower dry water surface of two feet. There is a less liability of any flooding than in 1919. That is very important, because after all in the last three years this...
