ROUND THE CORNER
"VICTORY FESTIVITIES" "The following, facts are vouched for by the best possible authority on the matter. In certain districts in England funds are now being raised for 'victory festivities,' and these 'victory festivities' are not to mark some distant end of a longish war; they are regarded as being just round the corner. And why? Because Russia is now fighting, beside us, and therefore victory must overtake us willy-nilly in a week or two. No wonder Authority is shocked that even the lightest-minded of the population can be as feather-brained as this. How far this delusive insanity has got a hold since Russia came in it is not easy to say. ' The districts where these 'festivity funds* are being raised are mostly districts that have not been raided, though it is astonishing to hear that they include one or two districts of London itself."— "Manchester Guardian." London correspondent.
