Few people probably know all that England owes to the Daily
Telegraph. They may be familiar with the image of Atlas sup-
porting the world on his shoulders, but they have yet to become
accustomed to the picture of the D. T. holding up the empire, not
of England only, but of International Law all over the earth.
Happily for the Atlas on whose Herculean back this weight is laid,
this burden has to be borne only during the recess. But not till the
Collective Wisdom is assembled can the Atlas of the Press find
shoulders strong enough to transfer its load to.
" Then," as the great Organ says, with a dignified sense of its
onerous but honourable trust,—
" It will be for Parliament and the country to take from our hands the long
and arduous task of maintaining the importance of international law, and the
duties and interests of this betrayed Empire."
What a grand subject for "a Great Historical Fresco—" Palianient
and the Country taking the task of maintaining the duties and
interests of the betrayed Empire from the hands of the Daily Tele-
graph!"
To All whom it may Concern.
For the British Lion, Punch proclaims
His faith in Forster, Harcourt, and James,
And gives his adhesion to what they say
On the burning question of the day :
That is, what he's ready to fight for, and what
He gives notice to all he's decidedly not.
