A DOUBTFUL HONOUR
It seems that “ rugs into which has been woven the portrait of Stalin are beine sent by the Soviet Government to the Pans Exhibition.” Such a thing could not have happened under any previous dispensation, and that not merely from the absence of Stalin. When, in 1913, a series of stamps, bearing portraits of the Tsars, was issued to mark the tercentenary of the Romanov dynasty, they were withdrawn in a few days, owing to the realisation of the indignity to royalty implied in the process of defacement. The same objection was even raised in this country when the first Queen Victoria stamps were issued. —‘ Observer.
