The question now pressing for solution
~ what the future policy Of the British
authorities toward avowed conspirators
against human life who make their head
quarters in this country will be. There are
many signs that public sentiment, and
official sentiment as well, has undergone
a great change in the last few years. The
police alone naturally wish to continue
the present arrangement because it rel ewes
them Of the terrible responsibility Of pre-
serving the lives of the King and the royal
family from professional assassins.
It is argued also that the verm nous
crew can be suppressed only by means Of
laws so drastic as to violate the principles

expulsion Of anarchists from England, or
their Imprisonment, say. as ~lunatics, would
Incite most determined reprisals by many
unknown members Of the Internal fra
ternity. The personal danger to King
Edward would become for the time being
greater than that of any other sovereign.
This rather selfish view furnishes no
answer TO the emphatic Continental protest
that England has no right to grant facilities
for murder abroad in order to protect her.
self against a common peril. This COM
plant is now becoming so i~nsistent and its
re~asonableness is so obvious that the Gov
eminent will probably soon be compelled
10 assent at least to a general consultation
as to how best to deal with the problem by
International measures.
1t would be necessary for America to
play prominent part in such a conference.
The expulsion Of anarchists from London
would drive the bulk Of them across the
Atlantic. Their numbers are large. There
are no less than ten avowedly anarchist
clubs in Londo and the membership Of one
amounts to 1000. They are not pennilesss
and the present American immigration laws
would be an Intellectual barrier against
them. No practical suggestion of dealing
with the problem has been forthcoming
amid the universal anger of the last few
days, but some official move will soon be
made, and it is not impossible that it will be
on British initiative.
One branch of the anarchists in London
who pretend to know all about the cam
raign against King Alfonso declare that he
was the victim of an implacable anarchist
vendetta, due to the treatment of suspects
at Barcelona severa years ago. This was
known at the time as the horrors of Mon
juich, and referred to the barbarous treat
ment in the fortress Of that TSSne inflicted
Unfortunately on all who &ere arrested
in connection with some early anarchist
rising in Barcelona. The prisoners were
subjected to the rack and other forms OF
torture in order to extort confessions from
them, Several emerged from the fortress
MANNED for life.
One English journal printed detailed
narratives Of the released men, several Of
whom we're innocent and some Of whom
we're not anarchists at all. French pamph-
let's on the subject we're circulated through
ont Europe and perpetuated the deeds
which were charged against the Spanish
Government. Alfonso was then a child
and had not the faintest responsibility for
these acts, but the Catalan can be revenge
fnl as we'll az the Corsican, and ever since
the young King assumed power he has
been pursued by the vendetta.
One may trace each of the -four attempts
on King Alfonso's life since 1902 to this
cause. He has been four times sentenced
to death by anarchist tribunals, The process
telng repeated after each failure. The
anarchists in London cynically affirm that
he will now be tried and condemned for
the fifth time.
