Joke Oh Lord Kitchener
Westminster has been enjoying
great joke these last few days, such
as it is rarely accustomed to. The
disclosure of the fact that whole pas
sages of the speech in which Lord
identical word for word with the
elaborate valedictory Grafton delivered
by Lord Curzon four years ago has
caused no end of amusement.
OF course, there is no particular
mystery about the matter. Lord
Curzon, as is we'll known, writes his
speeches. In India it was his practice
to have them printed beforehand and
to deliver them with the printed copy
before him. 1t is fairly safe to say,
however, that Lord Kitchener never
writes anything If he can avoid it.
There can be little doubt that when
the last days of his term of Office
were approaching he turned over the
task of composing an appropriate
farewell to one of his secretaries, who
went for his points to master of the
art, and lifted chunks of eloquence
which the unpoetical Lord Kitchener
never could have evolved from his
matter of-fact mind right out Of Lord
Curzon's great speech
But the question is, Who gave Lord
Kitchener away? The mischfevous
suggestion is that Memoir who
supplied the deadly parallel in the
Times, may be Lord Curzon himself.
But it must be remembered that the
Times is read in every club and mess
room in India, and even AngIo-In-
dams have memories.-London cable
