Now the case is somewhat different The French have not taken direct steps to eject the pickets. The French Consul, however, has asked the Foreign Office to order the strikers to evacuate the pre- mises immediately, to compensate the tenants who were illegally turned out and pay the rent for the past fourteen
months.
It is a perfectly reasonable request but it will probably put the Foreign Office in a quandary. There has been some talk among the strike pickets of moving their headquarters; they may decide to do this without further delay but who is going to pay the fourteen months' rent.

Why Was It Done?
Confronted with this evidence Mr. Power's explanation was that the body that was in the coffin when it started on its journey to London was taken out and an empty coffin, substituted in the pack ing esse. Unfortunately for him, how ever, Scotland Yard has been able to give a detailed account of the journey in question, and it is quite certain that no interference occurred such as is alleged.
