THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
“Cnii.i.v Hum.” Louie. “It is a curious tiling that all the words employed on the Socialist platform are words of four and live and six syllables which no one can define.” says Mr Baldwin. "1 do not know myself w hat the word ‘lnternationalism’ means. All I do know is that when I hear it empoyed it is a had thing for this country. I think it is intolerable insolence to look to Jfussia tor a gospel suitable for the most progressive people, when we wore lighting for our rights eight centuries ago and tho Russians wore only given the freedom within the lifetime of many men now living. 1 Mir duty is to load tlie world and not to follow anyone. Do I see anything that will help us in the manifesto that has been just issued by the leaders of the trade unions? They speak about constitutional relieilion. Those ti#o words together make nonsense. You can no more speak of constitutional relieilion than you call speak of a chilly hell.” —Mr Baldwin.
