[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR." J SIR,—Not long

ago there was an exchange of official courtesies between England and Russia. On this occasion the Labour Party in Parliament protested violently on the ground that the hands of the Russian Government were dyed with the blood of massacred Jews and other victims of tyranny. I await with interest to see what the attitude of Mr. heir Hardie and his party will be towards the democracy in Wales wLo lately have adopted the methods of the pogrom. If they make no sign it will seem that these leaders are afraid to denounce Radical voters for doing what was condemned by

them when done by Russian officials.—I am, Sir, &e., 11.
