Just finished a tour of the United States

of propaganda to estrange the United

amusement parks the country over. He
protested too against motion pictures

WARRINGTON, Aug, 2o.-Imperialism
in the peace treaty and distribr ION OF
a large share of the earth among Great
Britain, France and Japan was the sub
ject of an address to the Senate by Mr.

Cormick's maiden effort. He had pro-
vided a graphic illustration Of the extent
o: the world distribution in the form Of
map OF the Eastern Hemisphere show
ing in colors the apportionment of the
territory to the Powers named. He gave
a resume OF the history of imperialistic
control Of the subject countries by
European Powers and argued that that
control generally had accomplished bad
results so far as the welfare Of the peo-
pie was CONCERNED.
Particularly Mr.. Mccormick devoted
himself to the British acquisition and
rule Of India and Egypt, quoting extern
sively from British writers to prove his
points, and in summary of the whole
subject said:
What is true of the British is true
of the French and the japanese domin-
ions over subject peoples. They have
brought material prosperity but no
democratic progress. Almost wherever
you go among these myriad millions in
Asia and Africa you find sedition and
rebellion. You would have found even
this year and last Imprisonment without
trial and summary deportation of polit-
ical sgitators. You would have found
in greater proportion to-day than for
generations British troops. You would
have found in India British garrisons
which had replaced Indian troops.
