London Still Has Its
Soapbox
Orators
By Brian A. Tobin United Press Staff Correspondent
Sixteen months of war and five months of air raids have made little apparent change in one of London's old and most popular in- stitutions: the Marble Arch rendezvous of soapbox orators and listening crowds.
There is little talk against war licard on the Corner, but government leaders and poli- cies are freely assailed. Speakers go as far as they think the crowd will let them.
At this traditional gathering place on a corner of Hyde Park, the speakers still as- cend their stepladders and support by shouts, arguments and gesti- culation their many brands of politics and religious.
Disregarding the occasional scream of the air raid sirens, the crowds still drift from group to group, heck- ling, applauding-o-r- scoffing.
Daily For Years
Some of the speakers
and many of the listeners
There are not so many Irish speakers as there used to be. Time was when half-a-dozen of them, flags waving from their platforms, would com- mand large audiences on, u Sunday afternoon, and enliven the proceedings with scathing references to each other.
The religious arguers still hold forth, badgering and heckling their listeners, and being badgered and being heckled in turn.
a buffoon capers to gain a few laughs.
As the early dark comes on, the speakers fold their step- ladders and depart. It is for- bidden to solicit funds in the Park, but some of them leave broad hints that "I shall walk away in that direction at the close of the meeting and if anyone wants to show some brotherhood...
As' the speakers leave, the crowds form discussion groups in the darkness to argue. Here and there a group starts singing popular songs.
On a recent evening a small group gathered for their re- gular singing party.
Hymn in Dark
Their leader said, "Well, this is probably the last night we'll be here. "I'm going to a war factory in the north, two of the boys are joining up and one is being evacuated from London.

years. On a fine after-
there may be a noon, dozen different stands go- ing strong. The more popular speakers will have several hundred men and women grouped around them. A few will cry their message to unheeding passers-by.
For those who have a following the procedure is generally the same. They speak for as long as they can hold the attention of the audience. Then they call for "questions," and spend the rest of the time defending their cause, re- pulsing hecklers and ap- pealing for quiet.
Almost every religious de- nomination has its spokesman here; almost every political group with a panacea for the ills of the world. Some of them are consistently well at- tended.
One of the favourites is a vigorous speaker for the 'So. cinlist Party of Great Bri taln." His ladder is the high- est, his voice the loudest. His method and his message have changed little in the last year.

Of the Foreign Office Mr Wedg- wood says: R. A. Butler, the Under-Secretary, seems the only denizen of that august edifice not yet fossilised."
Mr Attice, he says, "Is too mo- dest and nervous ever to become dominating at the Box in the House of Commons. He is perhaps too much incilaed to accept the ex- planations of the Civil Service; but he is far and away the best lender the Labour Party has had or could have."

Now this grand old warrior for

It is a vivid record of gay adven- ture, full of spley revelations about. the mighty, shrewd comment on men and affairs, and some secret with a gusto history, all written which grips you.
Let me give you some snapshots from this album of memories and comments.
Churchill, when out of office, was Invited to lunch with the Cabinet

The Labour Porty's mission, he says, "is to change afteep into men," while of the present Parliament he declares, "I like it better than any in which I have ant. I uke this time better than any in which have lived. I am never ashamed now, ellher of my party or of my- self or of my country.'
