Unfamiliarity with the technique of foreign travel seems strangely prevalent.

Captain Ramsay, M.P., for example, is reported as having asked the Prime Minister on Monday the singular question whether " in granting visas to Members of Parliament to visit Czechoslovakia " any conditions were made regarding their participation there in party politics. It happens that no visas are required by any British subjects visiting Czechoslovakia, but where they are required they are granted of course by the country the traveller desires to enter, not by the country of his origin. If I want to go to Germany, the British Government gives me a passport, the German Government (through its representatives in. London) a visa. * * * *
