In the East End is Victoria Park. where the foreign element are privileged to say nasty things of the coun- try which protects them and pro- vides them with a prnfilahie lix- ing. And in the north Finsbury Park is the Sunday rendevous of the laboring class. Labor is Loyal. For the last Sunday was anâ€" nounced a couple of pacifist meetings in the latter park, and as the attitude of the laboringr classes has such important bearinz.r of the ummrtunity to study its expt'ession in the licensed atmosphere ul‘ these Sunday gatherings.

A Christian Brotherhood man, a clever young orator and sincere, was encountering the same dif- ficulty. The National Socialist party was in the same predicament. In fact, there was an atmosphere all over the park of impatience with speeches not confined to the war and our duty towards. it. Most of the platforms were of that luridly religicms tone that bases its right, to pomilar acceptance on a litwral attitude towards everything lining: confined to our enemies.

And here I. heard the best pal-kl speech I ever listened to. I will; go further and say that, never? have I heard a more effective. complete and appropriate speech. The speaker was a discharged sold- ier, a young school teacher, who had spoken in public but a few times. Speaking as a Mons man, he had the ears of his audience, and although faced by a compara- tively uneducated crowd, his sentences were beautifully round- ed. exquisitely worded, crisp. not hysterical, and aimed straight at the root of things. From his pocket he drew a paper, written on in blue pencil, urging the DGODIQ to rise and make “the streets flow with blood” in de- fence of their rights. His school lads had brought him two of these papers, given them by strangers on the street, with in- structions to take them home to their parents.
