INTERESTING RECOMMENDATION.

TO-DAY'S MISCELLANY.

The Times and other news- papers are all writing little essay's on the popularity of the road, restored to favour by the motor car or chara-banc. The rail- ways are quite apparently under- going a set-back, due largely to the increased cost of travelling and the abolition of holiday trains at special fares. There is apparently still a financial advantage on the side of the train: bat the motor vehicle scores by reason of the fact that, the last the suburban street passed. holiday is in full swing. Great numbers of one day trips were carried out at Whituntide; but there is a steady increase of tours extending from three to eigh: days in which hundreds of miles, of Britain are brought directly under the eye of the tourist Edinburgh, everyone will observe, is becoming a busy motor centre. “Assembly Sunday" this year at any rate with the conjonction of Whitsuntide-might as well have: been labelled "Motoring Sunday.”

There are several indications (says a Home paper) that British Labour is less enamoured af Bolshevism and Bolshevik institu. tions than it was a few months ago. The publication of details of the working of the system has induced a somewhat different state of mind, and it is significant that even the conducted tourista, after their limited and guarded touch with the actual state of affairs, return to this country with their ardour cooled and their descriptions qualified by many excuses. This new state of mind may be more clearly indicated when the report is issued of the British Labour leaders who re cently visited Bussis, and chose hrst telegraphed message sug- gested glowing admiration for Lenin and Trotsky's bandiwork. The message bardly their conclusions, and their re port may show that they have reached the deñoite belief that the Soviet system of government; is not suited to this country. Similarly the LLP. inquiry bas brough:theconviction that it is col desirable for the British Socialist movement to depart in any way from its own policy to copy that of the Bolishevists. Bolshevism, it is explained, is more suitable for a country in the infant stage of industrial development than for a country like this.
