The theory that a political crime Is any crime Inspired by purely po litical motives, the professor de clares. has lon/ been abandoned. He notes that Belgium In 1855 classed regicides among common criminals.

British Naval Supremacy Must Be Maintained, Declares Churchill LONDON, Nov. 28.—(British Ad miralty Wireless.) —“Nothing In the world, no arguments however spe cious, no appeals, however seductive, must lead you to abandon that naval supremacy on which the life of our country depends,” declared Winston Churchill, minister of munitions and forrfier first lord of the admiralty, in a speech here. “For the third t’me In history the freedom of the world against a mil itary tyrant has been preserved by the British navy—against Philip 11. !of Spain, against Napoleon and ' against Kaiser Wilhelm. Without It, not only should we have been lost, but all the world would have been cast back for "centuries. “I am a hopeful and sincere advo cate of the league of nations. 1 will do everything in my power to make such an instrument a practical, pow erful reality. But the league of na tions is no substitute for the suprem acy of the British fleet. "From the battle of Trafalgar to the end of the nineteenth century— nearly 100 years—we were absolutely supreme at sea. All other nations together could not have faced us. Did we abuse our power? Did we mis apply this enormous advantage? On the contrary, we were the only na tion whose ports were open to the whole world; whose markets were unrestricted by any tariff; whose coastwise trade was not held as a national monopoly. “Our British way of doing things is nowhere more admired than among the nations we have overthrown.” “Our British way of doing things is nownere more aumired thon among the nations we have overthrown, n the other nations of the world are content to allow us to keep our su premacy of the seas without demur it will be because we hold it as a trust for all.

I cordially sympa thize with those who say, ‘make them nay for the expenses of the war.’ If the allies have not claimed this, it is for one reason only.
