SAYS THE
PRESIDENT HAS TAKEN
THE PROPER STAND

Governor Alexander believes
that President Woodrow Will
son has taken the proper stand
in outlining the attitude of the
United States in the present
apparent crisis with Germany,
and so expresses himself in a
statement telegraphed to the
New York World in response to
a query from that publication.
The president made plain his
attitude in a letter to Senator
Stone, published Friday. The
governors reply to the World
is as follows:
THE president has again
demonstrated to the country
that he may be depended upon
at all times and under all cir
cumstances to exercise cool and
deliberate judgment in sustain
ing the nations honorable neu-
trality without sacrifice of prin-
ciples of international law. He
will bring no humiliation to our
people if he is given unre-
strained control of foreign at
fairs. If congress desires to
interfere, it will be congress that
will assume the responsibility
for a war which the American
people do not desire. Before
acting congress should demon
strate that its acts are founded
upon the same deliberate judg-
ment and absence OF passion
shown by the president

BRITISH LABOR WILL
SUPPORT THE WAR
Conference by Great Majority Rever-
ses its Former Attitude Regarding
the War by Pledging to Assist.

BRISTOL, Jan. 26.-(S D. m.)-Brit
ish organized labor, on the first day
OF conference which has attracted
worldwide attention, outvoted the ex.
treme socialist anti-war section and
adopted two resolutions expressing a
resolve to carry the war through. Jas
Ramsey Mcdonald, socialist and lead
er member of parliament for Leicester,
and Philip Snowden, socialist member
for Blackburn, tried to persuade the
delegates to vote against the motions,
but when requested to define their
position clearly they made evasions
and were unable to convince the con-
ference.
One representative of the socialist
section, when asked to state the terms
participated in voluntary recruiting
campaign, asserted:
"On no terms"
The conference is most compre-
hensive one. A large section of labor
and commerce attended, while seated
on the platform, were two French
socialist deputies and Robert Apple
garth, one of the three founders OF
trades unionism in Great Britain
George James Wardle, member OF
parliament for Stockport and editor
Of Railway Review, demanded an ex
preston for or against carrying on
the war and it was after that the con
vention responded by carrying the
vital resolutions, which decided the
issue of the conference by large ma
iorities favoring labor's cooperation
with the authorities to bring about a
victorious ending of the war.
