TO ZENA NORTON.

Dear Sir, —Allow .mc through the columns of your esteemed paper to offer a feAv-words of congratulation to Miss Zena Norton. '' v Dear Comrade Zena, —Allow-, mc in my humble Avay to offer my congratulations re .your essay on. the "Union Jack," which appeared in this paper on the -28th ult. - . " Yes, Zena, you are quite right when you say there can be no freedom under a flag Avhere two-thirds of the population are on the A r erge qf stai*A r ation. In my opinion, the Union Jack is the emblem of capitalism and legalised murder; and the only flag in Avhich freedom is predicted and which is striving so much for the uplifting of humanity is the Red Flag of Socialism. Comrade, you haA T e no doubt shown great pluck in A'our essay. You for one are not afraid of Avhat the upper class may say or sneer at. You, I think, will also be the means in Avhich hundreds of young girls in. this country Avill realise the grand an ct noble cause of Socialism. In conclusion, I only hope, Zena, good luck will attend-you right through life; may you thousands of girl comrades to work with you in this great movement, and I feel assured that it will' not be long before that grand old Red Flag will have-taken the place of the Union Jack. —Yours in that great cause of humanity, Runauga. LILY HYNDMAN.
