On Mon( lay, at a meeting on Tower Hill, Mr.
Williams, re- ferring to the police, is reported to have said that "if the police dealt blows on their side, the unemployed would have chemicals on theirs, and would be determined to use them with the object of sending the police to heaven by 'chemical parcel post.' All the constables in two lines of police could be removed by a piece the size of a penny carried in the pocket." Mr. Williams, however, states that this version of his speech "is false," though the reporter maintains its accuracy. We do not, of course, attach much importance to the heady non-
sense talked on Tower Hill ; but the police are, we suspect, getting very tired of this half-and-half rioting. Is not Mr. Asquith repenting that he agreed to meetings being held in Trafalgar Square
