C=7L—� It is not quite correct to say, as one editor does, that in London there is the utmost freedom of speech. There is freedom of speech in Hyde Park where orators may say what they like, as often as they dike and as long as they like, but the govern- ment which gives them such freedom of speech won't allow it in West- minster. 'In the park the orator takes up no one's time but his own and that of those curious ones who voluntarily listen to him, but in par- liament it is sometimes found neces- sary to curtail discussion by means of closure. There it is not the or- ator's time alone that is being taken , up, but the time of ,other members as well, including the government, Speech there is not free as to cost, and in Ottawa it is not free as to time, 'which is limited except to the leaders,and certainly is not free as to cost.

But tell me, nymphs, what stream divine • Shall henceforth wash the .river Rhine . ; It is possible that cancellation or repudiation of war debts would do more to ensure world pence than all the activities of the League of Na- tions. At any rate, a country, at war would experience some difficulty in borrowing money from neutrals. Just at present it would have some dif- ficulty in borrowing from its own nationals. Whatever may be done with present debts—and cancellation seems to be the only alternative to repudiation—the war bonds of the future cannot be recommended as an investment. cab Perhaps Gene Tunney took a hand in the recent elections so as to avoid being the forgotten num. 0, Uncle Sain, dear Uncle Sant, Why all this fuss and fretting?
