An interpolator who took up the cudgels in defence of Japan's un- privileged classes
Mr. Torno outside the Miura, virtually unknown Lower Chamber. He suggested the alleged severity displayed by the Government in putting down labour and tenants disputes should have been shown in its treatment of the rich. He further urged the Govern- ment to relax restrictions on speech and organisation. declaring that no without some country ever developed with dissenting voices from within.
Replying, the Home Minister, Ad- mirni Suctsugu,
said the Govern- ment had no intention of putting down labour or tenant disputes un- less they violated the law. He em- phasised he would not hesitate to suppress those elements which broke the law "whatever their economie power or social standing."-Reuter,

This absurdity, which is also a tragedy, is no fault of those who fought the Great War. The fighting men, dead and surviving have been let down by the diplomats and poli- ticions.
"To Encourage the Others"
Nowadays the fact that at one time we proposed to bang the Kaiser and some of his arch-assistants is never recalled without a blush. Well, 1 wonder whether, had that threat been carried out, as carried out it could have been had the victorious Allies stuck to their guns in both senses, the object-lesson might not have born 10 thic Immense advantage of posterity.
Could history have pointed to a halter as the ultimate fate of those who were undoubtedly responsible for the wickedness of the Great War, the next war might not have been regarded in quite such a lightheart- ed spirit by those who are now head- ing for une.
Personally, though the professional politician and soldier may take an- other view, I think hanging was just good enough for those who brought that irreparable calamity upon the world in 1914.
I am well aware thot in these days even that fact is disputed. It is fashionable to regard Germany's war gulit as a partisan fiction. But those who hold that view have never read Lord Oxford's plain statement of the actual and Indisputable facts:

Not that anyone who is old enough to recall European alfairs for twenty years before 1914 needs any further proof than his own knowledge. This talk
of the encircling movement against Germany is just so much NEXT CHANGE nonsense. One might as well tali of an encircling_movement_sgainst_ the inmates of the Zoo's tiger house. Nobody wants to hurt the tigers, but without those iron bars, the tigers would play havoc with a great many things and people,
Is there the smallest foundation now for the theory that anybody de- sires to attack Germany? All Hitler's elaborate initarism, like Mussolini's bayonets, is not for defence pur- poses, but for pure aggression. Bent on Revenge

miscalculations, they lost the tremen- dous hazard.
If we have allowed them to have a second try, the fault does not lie with those who helped to make the first one n nasco. It we must award the blame to anyone, it rests on the shoulders, Drst, of those who failed fo give the League of Nations con- vincing reality and omnipotence, and, secondly, those well-meaning but mistaken democrats who put their misguided faith In German demo- cracy.
The great lesson that our demo- crats have to assimilate is that it is not the case that everybody, not even every democracy, feels and thinks as ours does. We hate and abominate war. Germany still glories in it.
All the talking in the world will not exercise that Nordic trait. It may have to be done with high-ex- plosive and perhaps at ruinous cost. Time will show whether clear-vision- ed old Marshal Foch was wrong when he stood out for a Rhine frontler rather than put his trust in President Wilson's "baseless fabric of a dream."
