Attitude Of Labor Party.


The first indication Of the attitude Of
the labor party was given by John
Hodge. vice. chairman of the party. who
said that the trade council assembling
in London would be the greatest confer
ence labor had ever held with a thou
sand delegates specially committed to
pass upon conscription. He was un-
able to say what its decision would be.
but warned the premier that If the
congress was against the bill It could
not hope to succeed. Labor, he added,
had always opposed conscrlption and
even II the measure was passed"n one
could tell the after effects when the
government sought to put it into eX-
ecution.
Opposed by the Irish.
The attitude of the large Irish nation
alist membership in the house of COM
mons was disclosed by John Redmond,
who expressed regret that the ma
tionalist party could not support the
measure. Irishmen, he said. were pre-
pared to make every sacrifice to bring
the war to an end. but they did not
believe compulsory service necessary
to attain that result The proposed
bill was a great departure from the
established principle, of government.
and he considered that the premier had
been far too scrupulous in keeping his
pledge by risking such a departure
from the established government pol
icy.
Andrew Bonar Law. secretary for
colonies, was received with cheers as
he declared the bill was absolutely
necessary if the war was to be won.
Labor's Suspicion. a.
James Henry Thomas, labor member
for Derby. VINO opposed the bill. said:
There is a deep-rooted suspicion in
the minds Of the workmen Of the country
that conscription has been forced on the
government. not with a view to winning
the war. nor because of it's military
value, but because Of a certain section of
the press"
John Dillon, nationalist, and William
TLlewelyn Williams. liberal, ridicuied the
bill. Mr.. Dillon said: We are aziked to
pass bill. not because Of military neces-
sity. but because the premier was trapped
INTO making pledge"

such measure would be necessary. but

l now consider this bill a necessity.
Z Sir John Simon's Answer.

: Sir John Simon was greeted heartily
as he rose to combat the premier's con-
tentions. He expressed regret at leav-
ing the cabinet and paid a tribute to
Mr. Asquith. to whom he owed such
success as he had achieved. but, he said
no personal considerations could deter
him from opposing this measure, which
presented the supreme question OF
abandoning the principle Of voluntary
service, one OF the traditions of Brit
aims freedom, and substituting the
Prussian system of militarism. .
This bill should be resisted!"' he ex-
claimed, while a wave OF. cheers greeted
his statement He maintained that
Premier AsQuith had been chiefly moved
in his desire to keep pledge. whereas
this was a proposition involving a re-
versal Of. the entire policy of the gov
ernment. and those chiefly desirous of
having the pledge kept were the men
who had for years taunted the premier
with lack of good faith"
He maintained that the results OF the
addition to the fightfng force. The real
danger of the measure. he asserted. was
that it committed tho prime minister
to the principle of compulsory service.
and once this was conceded no one
could tell where the new policy would
end.
Don't condemn your own young
men," concluded the former home sec
retary dramatically. Don't pay this
compliment to Prussian militarism.
Don't surrender one of the real her
itages Of the English people for mess
of pottage."
