20 JANUARY 1923, Page 10

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sns, — I certainly favour your

suggestion that a Memorial of Mr. Page should be erected in London, and I entirely agree with your article of January 6th. Still, failing the consent of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster to a tablet in a suitable position, I do not see why a statue "like that of Abraham Lincoln in the streets of London" ought not to be thought worthy. Surely for Page to be placed alongside of Lincoln is a high honour for any American statesman. Was there ever a greater American than Lincoln ? I am sure Page never thought so. A memorial there ought to be, and I hope your article will result in a suitable one.—I anal,
