That institu- tion will be known in the future ag “‘The Parliament of The United Kingdom of Great tain and North- ern Ireland.” The king’s title will be changed to give the impression that he is just as much the king of South Africa and Canada as of the “tight little isle.” This outward change is only the expression of the decline of imperial power. London is no longer in a position to make the dominions come to heel. Downing Street at least knows how to sur- render gracefully to her wayward children. : * * * — is a difference of opinion among British imperialists as to the real significance of the agreements arrived at by the dominion representa- tives at the empire conference. Speaking before the Foreign Policy Association in the Hotel Astor, New York, John S. Ewart, K. C., L. L. D., former vice- president of the Canadian Bar Association, stated the title Commonwealth of Nations was a misnomer _ since the British parliament was and is still su- Ppreme, while admitting that concessions were made to the Dominions. The empire is composed of two parts, he insisted, “the superior or dominant part and the subordinate parts.” It is worthy of note that among tho supporters of British imperialism at this conference we find the name of BE, F. Wise, representing the British Labor Party. Yes, Mr. Wise is anti-Communist! * oS fyuman is or was an old Arabian tradition which ‘Was as good as an accident insurance policy to &@ person who had a taste for salt and possessed a tongue agile enough to reach the delicacy. before his enemy, the host, connected his scimitar with his neck, Once an Arab’s enemy had eaten his salt, it was considered unethical to separate him from his life, perhaps on’ the theory that so much good salt would have gone to waste. However that may be, we notice in the newspapers that sundry insur- gents, good fellows rebelled against G. O.

The cartoon by Hay Bales representing our insur- gents guzzling presidential slops may be a bit tough on the little animals but the life of radical journal- ists and artists is heart-breaking to the extent that they are obliged to apply the rod of castigation to the political hides of honest fellows who go wrong. Perhaps the picture may be conducive to convine- ing the workers and farmers of the necessity of or- Christmas Greetings.

This & not the first time the radicals have been “annfhilat- ed” on paper. Somehow or other they survive— at least the left wing movement survives.
