SIR,—Mr. Laurens Otter may say that obstructing Public highways, forcing

an already overworked Police force into even longer hours and making a great public nuisance of oneself so that one's views may gain greater publicity and acceptance by others s non-violent action. However, considering that llese views may be preached from many pulpits .Including St. Paul's), or from the floors of both Houses of Parliament, I would say that this is a Particularly odious type of blackmail.
