THE OATH AND THE TARIFF
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—It is difficult to understand your view that a verdict as to the Oath should be sought from the Permanent Court at The Hague. Is it suggested that whatever such decision might be this country would be prepared to associate with and treat in the same manner as a loyal Dominion a country that expressly repudiates any loyalty to or even respect for His Majesty as Head of the British Commonwealth of Nations ?
I think any loyal subject would regard with loathing and disgust the merest suggestion of associating—except as a foreign nation—with any such country. How could the deci- sion of The Hague or any other tribunal affect the question of
loyalty to the Crown ?—I am, Sir, &c., J. A. EDD1SON. 7 Langcliffe Avenue, Harrogate.
