UREKA!—UTOPIA! The illuminating statement made by the Director of Medical Services, will, I imagine, exercise the minds of all those who have taken the trouble to analyse it. In the first place, in defence of the proposal to erect camps in residential districts, it is pointed out that it is necessary to ensure the "ability of the area to accommodate an agreed minimum of persons, unencumbered as far as possible by leases, licences and existing residents." The italics are mine, my masters! This consideration for the refugees is profound. In order that they shall not be encumbered by existing residents, there are two simple alternatives. Deport existing residents, or place the camps away from residential areas.
It is estimated that the Loyalists The Director goes on to deprecate had concentrated two army corps for the extravagant statements which an attempt to cross the Ebro River have appeared in the Press, yet, ne- along a 45-mile front and actually cording to the Colonint Secretary in
