That there is a dif- ference between the people of the north and south of England is obvious to the stranger who traverses that .country. For that Inaffn there is a difference between the East and West, and be- tween" the -people of one city and an- other. This is probably true of every country, but the • difference is most striking between Northerners and Southerners in England—leii'ing Scot- land out of the picture for the moment. In a previous article on London, I said that Londoners Were probably the politest people in the world. .By that I did not mean,.to compare them with the Japs, whose excessive politeness is a subtle mixture of grovelling and deceit. There is no grovelling about, ._.-the politeness of the Londonerss : on the contrary, while it may be a habit, there Is a natural dignity and perhaps toueh of superiority in the Londoner's address to strangers. The waiter in the restaurant and the .porter in the hotel or the railway station ivay have an ulterior motive .in his ,politeness, but that, can hardly be called deceit. `peaking , cnepaliy, (there are excep- 'tions), this politeness isa formal ad- dress of respect fin; the stranger, imply- ing that. "You, sir, are a gentleman, and I and a gentleman." The- Northerner, on the other hand, is generally more informal a nd fre- quently blunt in his address. I noticed. this first on a trainas we approached Lancashire. The carriage was crowded, and I was sitting on my vallse"'in the corridor, when a conductor came along. I asked hint ---perhaps a little peevishly BACKACHE May beWarflinq packache may .a signal your kidneys are failing to filter excess acids and poison- ous wastes from the system.

This may have bee au extreme case, but it is typical o the otitSpokenness of the Lancashir man, of whorl Mr. Bevin is an exampl It would be unfair, however, t6 ,tea that all Northerners or even all Lanca shire people are uncivil. They ar not generally polite, and where they ar not blunt, they are inclined to regal" the stranger critically and size hi tip before committing themselves. Thi critical 'attitude renders them -mor argumentative than the Southerners The; are born' individualists, and whet they argue for Socialism they contra dict themselves by their critical at titude toward the State. They are stil in favor of the. Labor Govornrnent: to which they voted strongly ; but thei support is tempered by criticism, in one gets the impression that 'tiles would take just as much delight in voting tha, governInent out •as they did in votiIl it in. .

The .Glasgow man- will start 'an argument wit1ior)t any provocation. He goes around with a chip on .his shoulder. I sat next to two working chaps on aI street car, one of whorls began to argue on politics as soon as he sat" down. At least, 'I guessed that it was about polities, although I could hardly understand 0 word -of what he was saying in his thick •Glasgow accent. IIe poured' out a continual stream of talk in which I caught the word "coni- niunisiii," but. whether -he was • for or against it I could not make out. Ile got off the car still addressing his emu,- panion and finished -up with a 'laugh, as if he had enjoyed- himself. On another occasion 00 a street car, a pian who was standing in the aisle talking aloud td everybody in general, suddenly turned his • attention to me. Laying his hand on my shoulder; from behind, he sneered something about "going to the raves." I was . wearing a tourist cap and a raincoat, for it was a wet day. Ile may have had' a "drop too much," but the occupants )f the car did not appear to be con- cerned over his' rudeness.
