PUNCH OR THE LONDON CHARIVARIA.
VOL. 159.
JULY 21, 1920
CHARIVARIA.
To judge by the Spa Conference it looks as if we might be going to have
a peace to end peace.
***
It will soon be necessary for the Government to arrange an old-age
pension scheme for Peace Conference delegates.

It is difficult to know whom or what to blame for the exceptionally wet
weather we have been having, says an evening paper. Pending a denial
from Mr. Lloyd George, _The Times_ has its own opinion as to
who is at the bottom of it.
***
Mr. Stanton pointed out in the House of Commons that, unless
increased salaries are given to Members, there will be a strike. Fears
are entertained, however, that a settlement will be reached.
***
"The Derry shirt-cutters," says a news item, "have decided to continue
to strike." The Derry throat-cutters, on the other hand, have postponed
striking to a more favourable opportunity.
