about it. We want some action, Mr. PREMIER. Isn't it time it came off?
Think what a bombardment of Cologne (taking care of the cathedral, _of course_), Frankfurt, Berlin, Essen and Hamburg would do, not to mention other places that I could if I had an atlas. And about those pacifists. Just clap the whole lot in gaol. That's the best place for them. I won't object in the least, even though I am the apostle of freedom. Then there are lots and lots of other things you might do. You might deliver a reasoned manifesto to the Russian people and buck them up a bit. That won't do anybody any harm, and _it'll be getting on with the War_, my little Welshman. Well, there are a few points for you to go on with. You've got the brains to think of more, otherwise I wouldn't have helped to put you where you are to-day. But remember that if you _don't_ do these things Demos is waiting round the corner for you. Demos is a good dog--a patient animal. But there's an end even to his patience. Growl, Demos, and show you're not afraid of Welshmen! ("Grrr----!" Good dog! Good dog!) Now then, old boy, I've shown you the way. _It's up to you!_ * * * * * Another powerful article on these lines will appear next week. |
