SPIDER AND FLY
GERMANY’S COUPS IN EUROPE. Germany’s coups in Europe offered a modern example of spider and the fly, said Mr Oliver Stanley, president of the Board of Trade, in a recent speech. First, there came the invitation to enter the parlour, and then the inescapable position when once in. “The only addition is that the spider issues a communique afterward, saying with what gratification and affection the fly has found his final resting place,” said Mr Stanley. “If any country wants to resist this bullying menace to its liberty and independence it will not have to resist it alone. We British have no demands on Germany, but if she attempts to dominate the world by force our reply must be the reply of history, that we refuse to allow the world to be subdued by this means.”
