"YELLOW ENGLISH"
Sir.-Yon may have read that exceedingly clover book entitled "bellow Ivnglish" If so, vou will acknowledge that it should l'« v«»d. marked, learned, and inwardly digested by every patriotic fintisher. It certainly is the truest account of the, C *T i^ °£ lms vet been published, al hough it is treated wii novel. The writer does not «£re Great Britain in his scathing denunciation of all our'most unpardonable, 3 silly, idiotic and su«ul»l governing of the country, our sillv ;i™ nature, of always poo-poo.ng the fee of coming storms, until they overtake us and fad*us utterly unpreparcd Wo have it from a German in high othco that iiact Great Briton been properly prepared for war, then this awful war-with all we. havo suffered, and all wo 'are suffering to-day, and must continue to suffer for many years to eon,e T would not have eventuated. Then who m to blame for beint thus far responsible for the war? Bv preventing the country from being properly prepared, beyond all question the blame lies at the. doors of the Liberal Grvernment, and heir penny wise and pound foolish methods of Rovornment; also, in their suicidal adherence to Free-trade, which was tho meanc by whiolv Germany became sufficiently wealthy to prosecuto this temblo wnr, and infest the wide world with her spies, which wo fools of British encouraged in overy way they could desire. The others directly responsiWo for our national crime of being unprenared wero tl.o Labour M.P.'s, the Socialists (whoso proper namo is AnaroUwt), I.W.W. s, Sinn Itinera, Bolshevists, and revolutionary Labour ar/itators. 'And ye 1 , with all tho terrible experiences of that war, and alt the lessons it has taught us, the Whole British. Empire ia etui infested
with tlio samo German spice, who, with." Gorman gold, are engineering strikes and revolutions, aided by the agitators of all the aforementioned enemies of Great Britain. Our Government is well aware of mischief breeding, disloyal publications being printed and distributed throughout the Dominiou, and yet it docs not interfere. No! It prefers to live in a fool's paradise. Much as wo may love and desire peace, we must not forgot that thero is only ono way to obtain it, viz., to always he thoroughly prepared for war; also to deal rigorously with all agitatort trying to bring about war or revolution. As for tho League of Nations. I for one have no faith in it; as long as this world of human beings lasts there will, be war; then let us be properly prepared for it, and then, war-loviii" brutal nations will bo careful not to attack us, and if we desire freedom from civil war. —such as. oinco tho armistice has been rampant in Russia, and now in Ireland -then wo must take tho only means to prevent it, viz., to get rid of all agitator*, extremists, Gorman and other spies, also all "vellow English," A young county should surely steer clear of the Motfierland's fntal errors, instead of adopting them; amongst these, of winch wo have had only too much proof, naturalisation of foreigners, free speech, freedom.of tne "vellow Press" to preach disloyalty and revolution, freedom to enemy subjects to reside and trade in the country. Surely wo BritfsTi are a nation of fools to permit all such agents of mischief tornMo in our country, or anywhere within our Empire.-I am,, etc., woßmTG MAN ; [Tho above letter has been condeMed.l '
