Manawatu Herald THURSDAY. JULY 11, 1921. THE OPPRESSED ENGLISH.
COMMEXTING on the industrial crisis in England recently, the Democrat, tin organ of sane Labour politics, made the following amusing reference to the holders of the various parties in the dispute: — “God save England! 1 ' One of our readers who has been inquiring into the nationality of the principal persons associated with the present industrial trouble gave utterance to the above exclamation when he discovered that Mr Frank Hodges was Welsh, Mr J. 11. Thomas was Welsh. Mr Robert Williams was Welsh, Mr Evans Williams was Welsh, and Mr David Lloyd George was Welsh! Me have had the greatest difficulty in persuading him not to write to the Archbishop of Canterbury soliciting the prayers of the Church on behalf of the poor Englishmen whose lives and interests were in the hands of such volatile and exuberant Welshmen. We consoled and restrained him by admitting that England might possibly enjoy more plmee.fui and prosperous times if her sonwere permitted a little greater part in the management of national affairs.”
