It seems in the opinion of many patriotic men and women in this country that it is a pity our native Rea," who swallow the poison of Communism manufactur; ed in Moscow as readily as a cat laps milk, cannot be induced to a company them. The atmosphere in politics and in industry, and indeed in all the relations of life, would he more wholesome if those who have been stirring up discord for years past between Capital and Labour and in other ways were out of Eng:
