England Defines Her PO-
SitiOn Regarding Ii.
DELEGATES WILL. NOT SIT
II Japan and Russia Are Admitted
10 Deliberations.
EFFORT OF CANADA'S OBJECTION

London, Oct 6--The officials of the
British foreign Office have communicated
to the United States Ambassador Col.
John Hay, the final decision that the
government of Great Britain must refuse
20 take part in any sealing conference
with representatives OF Russia or Japan.
The goyorument however. asserts Its
willingness to confer with the United
States alone but SC insists that Russia
snd Japan are not interested in the
Bering Sea seals 10 degree emitting
them TO representation at the conference.
The British government does not sug.
ge5t any date for u conference with the
United States. and it is thought probable
here that Great Brltain's withdrawal
VIII result in two meetings, one between
the United States. Russia and Japan and
another between the United States Great
Britain ana Canada.
1t cannot be too strongly reitersted that
tho Withdrawal of Great Britain at the
Washington conference is due to Canada s
insistence and that until the Canadian
officials informed the foreign Office here
OF Canada's objections TO meeting Russia
and Japan. out OF fear of being outvoted.
Great Britain fully intended to enter the
conference with the three other govern
ments. But for Colonels Hays repre-
sentations the first announcement of
Great Britain's unwillingnoss to take
part in the conference would have been
final.
The United States AMBASSADOR, how
ever. plainly pointed the unusual
character Of Gieat Britain's change of
mind at so late day that somo of tho
foreign officials decided TO reopen the
questin ara have been en'ssEvorlng unsuc-
Cesstullly to secure Canada's s acquiescence.
Sir Julian paunceforte. the British am
bassador TO the United States. also used
his influences in spirit OF great friend
illness To the United States in efforts TO
secure the adherence of Great Britain to
the original pros ram.
The diplomats here consider that Great
Britain's course was not courteous to
Russia and Japan.

capital laborers ought to re-

complain about is the lavish
expenditures of the capitalistic
ic classes. Their loss is not
what the capitalists gain, but
what they spend. This princi-
pie is important and contrary
to the popular theory
"There are Others" but these
quotations are enough to show
"the stuff" on which growing
minds in Duluth are fed. The
limits of one newspaper article
preclude a statement, for the
benefit of those unfamiliar
with our beliefs, of what trade
unionism really teaches. We
are writing now for the infor-.
