Sir HOWARD vINCENr praised our Fed
ernl laws. which dcb1r anarchists or
persons protesting anarchist opinions
from entering the United States and
reserve n right TO cSlcl them If, having
once been admitted, they preach their
pernicious doctrines within two years.
He held us ny IA an example to Great
Britain, which should forthwith, he
thought. adopt similar precautions. II
was only. however, az a temporary ex-
pedient that he commended such legls-
lation. He could see in it only a local
palliative; not a sweeping and drastic
remedy. He knew of but one means, he
said, to root out anarchist crime, and
| that was by putting nm end everywhere
to the expulsion system by a perma-
nent international agreement. The ideal
aim was, he insisted, to bring about the
retention bv each country of its own bad
| characters. to whom it could apply such
| rigorous measures Of control as it might
deem At. As things are now Italy drives
| her anarchists into Switzerland. where
the cantonal system offers obstruction to
efficient surveillance. France hunts her
anarchists into Belgium, while Belgium
herself and Germany and Russia expel
all their anarchists to England, where
hitherto the traditional jealousy with
which Englishmen are accustomed to
regard any police encroachment upon
personal liberty has assured to foreign
enemies of society a place of refuge
where new outrases may be planned.
Sir HOWARD VINCENT recalled the
| declaration made in 1882 by Sir WILLIAM
HARcoURT when Home Secretary, that
to conspire to murder any person within
or without the British dominions is an
offence against the law Of England, and
| that it was the bounden duty Of Great
Britain to prevent, as well as punish,
| the perpetration of crimes against pub
lie order, whether outside or inside the
realm. Sir HOWARD finally expressed
the hope, which now apparently is shared
by a great majority of his countrymen,
that in view of the execrable attempt to
murder an English princess on her we'd
ding day the adoption Of reasonable
| precautions against the plotting of an
archist crime under the cover of the
privilege Of asylum will not be hindered
any longer by a morbid exaggeration
of the old British dislike Of all restraints
on individual liberty.
