HYPNOTISM AND LABOUR RULE

Sir, —The point you. make this morning, the lack of trust and confidence between Labour rulers and their votaries,' is one that cannot be over-emphasised. Labour rule does not spell the heart of Labour any more than Sinn Joinspells the real heart of Ireland. It is the work of the professional mesmerist, and what has to be waited for is the rude awakening when the show is over. Labour rulers know their weak spot, and seek to hedge themselves in as a saving grace against the day of the rude nwakening. The sop which promises so much is exclusive privilege for the few at the expense of the many, and this applies to all the combinations in any part of the civilised world represented by these bodies bo much advertised at the present time, latmely, Red.’ Fed, 1.W.W., and Sinn Fein, and whose aims however much more or less veiled are plunder, and whose weapons are sheer and unbridled force. The main question is what will bring about the awakening and annul the hypnotism? One way would be very easy, namely, to let them have precisely what they ask, and after that the deluge, and that is just where the saving grace becomes the Noah’s Ark for the manipulators, and the deluded fools who engineered the flood will try to erect a Tower of Babel. Russia at the present time exemplifies the last state of present-time misplaced Labour aspiration, and the lesson is that privilege may bo a groat exhilaration as a hunt, but very little good.at the finish, especially when they find that, instead of a fox’s tail, they have been chasing their own.—l 8 " 1 - etc..
