WHO SAID IT2

When in 1.-THE Mirrors OF Downing
Street the anonymous author, in the
course Of a dissertation on the tabled
aloofness of Arthur Balfour, said, "He
knows there's been one ice age and he
thinks there's going TO be another"
the reading public applauded a happy
phrase. We recall two or three re-
views that quoted this bit of char
acterization as an example of the
brilliant style of the author ia gen
t1eman with a duster").
There is q paragraph in "A Defence
Of Liberty" which indicates that the
gentleman with a duster" has been
receiving credit for a phrase which
Balfour himself originated. Here is
the paragraph to which we refer:
The sanguine optimism Of the Lib
eral who said that man would find a
way to prevent the sun from getting
cool. is contrasted with the unen-
thusiastic pessimism of Arthur Bal
four. who IS supposed to have said he
believed there had once been an Ice
age and believed that some day there
would be another.

they have utterly failed he flays them
much more mercilessly than their de-

on page 81 he unintentionally lets us
have a smile at Socialists.

conventions of Communist dress:
During. the warm days Of July on

voluminous red wrapper most of rhe

in that garment without shoes and
stockings. On several occasions she
addressed the crowds and town people
below us at the banks with this w,ap-
per as her only covering"
All of which reminds me of a recent
trip to Russia. On the same car with
us going into Petrograd was a delegate
from England who was very well
dressed. A Communist courier said to
him:
"Comrade. don't you think you had
better take off your white collar and
put on another coat? You look too

picious." The Englishman replied:
Hell, I'll show them my hands.
Isn't II our aim to give them all white
collars?" "Oh, you don't understand"
the Communist sighed So much for
the ethics OF clothes IN Soviet Russia.
The author gives a particularly clear
account of the trip that all foreign
delegates TO Russia must take before
they leave for home. In this chapter,

also let's US see what an advantage il
is for the Bolsheviks that most of the
