MYTHS OF
ILLUSIONS
ACQUISTEN
Rt. Hon. J. M. Robertso writes in the Daily News follows:
Illusion may seem to some & mild term to apply to such a state ment as the following made by Mr. Macquisten, M.P, in the House of Commons at a late hour on June 24, 1919, in the debate on the adjournment motion by Mr. George Terrell on the subject of dumping and key industries
"Let us remember that Free Trade was only introduced by Cobden, who was a commercial traveller, and, not a producer.".
The library of the House of Commons is indeed not equal to that of Congress at Washington; but the present writer is prepared to affirm that its resources are amply sufficient to have shown Mr. Macquisten, had he been fooncerned to check his facts, that he had beendeplorably misinform- ed. His knowledge doubtless came from a sound tarifist source; and he would naturally distrust Cobden's Free Trade biographer, Lord Morley. Bat a few moments spent over the "Encyclopaedia Britannia, a production known to have been controlled by tariffst sympathies, would have led him to the discovery that Cobden, after having been a commercial traveller, became a *producer" at the age of 26; and that it was. after, and not before that age, that, as Mr. Macquisten so poetically puts it. "Free Trade was introduced by Cobden whatever that may
exactly mean.

"REVERSE THE CASE" On two subjects-Ireland and Japan I must report develop- ments. I understand that Mr. Wilson could not act further with Mr Walsh owing to the associa- tion of the latter with revolution- ary elements. A correspondent in the Tribune puts the matter thus: "Reverse the case, and suppose that agitators from the Philip- pines, from Hawaii or even Bols- hevik agitators from this country were to go to London, establish headquarters, and start a wide- spread movement there for finauce ing revolution in the Philippines, Pearls and all sorts of precious Hawaii, or here at home.
