LAW AND ORDER.
Sir—l wish to thank you for your timely leader in Wednesday's issue on "Law and Order," and I am sure I am but voicing the thanks of many more of your readers. The recent statements of Mr. Tom Mann and. Mr. de Valera are so treasonable bariishmcnt from the British Dominions should follow. I would like to emphasise your statement, "but tolerance, like sedition, may go dangerous lengths, and it is high time that a lesson in rights and duties should be taught men of their kind." They don t desire liberty, for they do not know its meaning; they want license, and it'is a matter of no consequence whose liberty they destroy in furthering their own ends. Frsrn the tyranny of the previous centuries the British have gone to tbe other extreme. If we continue to tolerate men of Tom Mann's and de Valera's stamp, we ar e simply courting the same chaos; and ruit; that has overtaken Russia. Itiere are only two issues before our people today—Bolshevism or Parliament. Which; ' S. L. P. RIMMEB. January 28, 1925.
