ENGLISH SURPLUS FOR
PEACE FUND

London, May 24.-Keir Hardie
wants the English government to
spend last years treasury surplus
of about 100000 on the promo
ton of universal peace. Chancellor
of the Exchequer Lloyd Georges
plan is to devote it to a broadening
OF the old-age system, to i'm
proVement of the labor exchange
dnd to other sociological expert
'nents. Hardie argues that no Soc
illogical experiment will do the
masses more good than making war
impossible
If England's current years ex-
penditure OF 100000 on it's ar
my and navy were divided up among
the people, Hardie points out, it
would give an increased wage of 81
weekly to each man, woman and
child in Great Britain. For a coun-
try where more or less skilled
Workman's wages does not eceed
$3.50 weekly Harde thinks this ex-
ira 81 would be a pretty substant-
ia] increase. He adds that the more
this expenditure grows the harder
it will be to get social reform.
Hardie is insisting on his plan in
a series of speeches, but thus far
he does not seem to have made any
impression on the Chancellor.

We are told that husbandette is

political flights, nor is he willing to
permit her TO broaden mentally and

her ideas Of freedom shut up in tiny
