LABOUR IDEAS.
ro tite editor or "titr nutss.* 1 Sir.—On my way into tho city this afternoon, I stopped at- the Labour meeting in Victoria square and heard the last five minutes of the Speaker's address. They ended with the remarkable statement: "And the quicker there comes the revolution, the better for you and your children." Anil then the meeting was declared closed. I simply write, enquiring of the Labour I'artv if this really represents their present attitude—a* straight-out incital to thoir followers to bring about a revolution in this country. If not, should not this speaker be, at least, severely reprimanded for his abuse of the freedom of speech wo all enjoy. If such incitals as this are, .as ono is reluctantly forced to suspect, common among our Labour community, is it not high time a note of warning was sounded to the public at large, who, though maybe are in sympathy with certain features of the Labour movement, are still apparently—as I certainly was—oblivious to the extremes Labour seems capable of.—Yours, etc., QUI VIVE. April 18th.
