THEIR OWN LANGUAGE Mr. Samuel Pope, the Clerkenwell Police Magistrate, whose death took place recently, owed his influence over the people who appeared in his Court largely to his noverfail-. ing humour and his habit of speak- ing to them in their own language. An ardent temperance advocate, he did not vell the subject in too great a solemnity.
"You were binged,' 'sozzled,' or dis-blotto, he would say to delin-
quents, "and you'll pay five bob."
"Bail be blowed," was his usual phrase when refusing it. To one who had committed an assault he said, "Well, this is a free country, You can punch a man on the jaw if you can afford it. The price is five quid,"
To a road hog he commented, "They might well put p 'Cherrio' as 'Dead slow' for all the notice some of you blokes take."
close. How much worse. It may be difficult to prove. However, dur- ing the present year it will become obvious that Germany is increasing her air power at anything from five to ten times the rate at which we are increasing ours. What a disquieting thing It is that Minta- ters should be found to have made Parliament solemn statements to
on a vital matter of this kind which are proved to be absolutely wrong; and that private members and. In- dependent nowspapers should have been able to form a far truer view of our position.
If the House of Commons did its duty in the way in which other Palamonts bave dono such perilous miscalculations in high places could never pass without Accountability boing inforced. The fact that the Conservative
custodian Party. the chief
of national safety, is to all intents. and purposes asloop and out of action has already brought Great Britain Into a position contrary toj that promised by Miniators only a year ago, and where we can only purchase national safety by costly dependence upon foreign ald. This disastrous and discreditable con- dition must now be faced.
