FUTURE PEACE

Probably the most debated and GER
tainly the most important question to
come before the peace conference-if
there is one-wil be that of disarma-
ment and the security of future peace.
Problems of territory and demands
for reparation can and will be COM
promised, but on the question of lin
iting future armament and making
peace more sure there should be no
halfway measures.
Both Great Britain and Germany
have indicated their willingness,-in-
deed, anxiety,-to consider this ques-
ton in their peace proposals and it
seems reasonably certain that any
terms of peace must include provisions
for limiting future war preparations.
Peace terms without this provision
would be a misnomer, for peace would
only amount to an armed armistice.

| Prime Minister Acts.
The reason for this latter conten-
tion has not been made plain, and In
fact the merits of the whole dispute
are clOuded. The employers contend
that there is a deliberate effort on the
part of the workmen to curtail prOduc-
ton, and weight is lent to this view
by statistics, which show that coal
production in New South Wales has
| increased not at all in the last three
years, though new mines have been
opened and new and up-to-date ma
chinery has been installed.
All other measures having failed,
and the Government being faced with
shortage of coal for its transports,
Prime Minister w. M. Hughes at the
end of last week acting under the
highest flexible War Precautions Act,
called in Melbourne a compulsory con-
ference of employers and miners rep
resentatives. The Prime Minister
himself presided, and pleaded with
both parties, in the national interest,
to come to terms. 1t was finally
agreed, after a two-day conference,
that ballot of all the strikers should
be taken, to decide whether or not
they would go to work, under the
terms existing before the stoppage,
pending decision by a court.
Hughes guaranteed that on the day
they returned to work, a hearing of
the case would begin, either in a court
already constituted or one which he
would set especially for the purpose,
and that the hearing would proceed
without interruption till a decision
was reached.
This is the status at present. 1t is
possible that by the time this is print
ed the miners will have voted in fay-
or of Mr.. Hughes proposal and the
strike will have been settled. Wheth-
er or not it is settled is not the point
here; the fact of chief interest to
Americans, examining the laws of
Australia for possible light on their
own industrial problems, is that such
strike has been possible in this coun-
try, and that in any event, it will have
dragged on for at least three weeks.
causing incalculable loss. If settled.
it will have been settled not by the
ordinary machinery of the courts. but
by special intercessiOn on the part of
the chief officer of the Commonwealth.
Power Of the Union.
How great is the power welded
by the unions in Australia NAV be
gathered from the fact that there are
13 separate unions with a total MEM
bership of 52S,031. Unfonism has had
remarkable development in this
country. In 1890 an important trade
union crisis-a maritime strike that
evo!ved into a general strike practi-
cally throughout Australia gave i'm
petus to what has been called the
new unionism," unionism taking an
active and aggressive part in politics
The men were defeated, and they
strongly resented the action of the
public authorities.

1916 In HISTORY

International relations and prob
lens arising from the great world war
overshadowed all other events of the
closing year. Political, social and
economic changes in every civilized
country, immense and far-reaching
enough to have caused worldwide
comment in ordinary times, took place
in 1916 almost without notice, owing
to the more urgent demands of the
battlefields.
Forms, powers and modes of govern
ments have been shifting daily. In
Russia, the people through the Duma
have gained wider power; in Germany
the demands of democracy have open
ed up the imperial government; in
France, Austria and England whole
governments have been shifted and
changed; in the United States the
quadrennial change in governments
took place without bloodshed; in the
smaller countries crises calling for
immediate and strong action have oc-
Cured in unprecedented number.
Placing further restrictions on the
demon rum, taking fuller charge of
the food supply, putting recreation
under better control, public ownership
of the means of production and dis
tribution-these are some more of the
greater activities and larger changes
which have been going on in the civ
ilized world. Indirectly, by showing
the need for national efficiency, the
war has been a great boon to social
and material progress.
In this country inflated prosperity
has brought on its due of industrial
troubles, which have been ably han
died by an efficient government. Bet
ter labor laws and much progressive
economic legislation have resulted.
The usual troubles of neutral coun-
tries have upset equilibrium at times,
but a strong, definite foreign policy is
rapidly being evolved by better ex-
perienced government.
Governmental and economic ques-
tions have been of such immediate i'm
portance during the past year that
the larger movements of science, lit
erature, art, religion and philosophy
have been largely lost sight of. That
progress in these subjects has been
hindered by the war admits of no
doubt. but it seems probable that the
increased seriousness of mind growing
out of the grave problems of the war
will mean a wider and more detailed
attention to these fundamentals of
progress after peace is declared.
Many will be inclined to look upon
1916 as one of the darkest years in the
worlds history, because of the slaugh-
ter and hatred going on every day on
the European battlefields, but the loss
in human lives and in material OBJ
jects may mean more to the next gen.
Grafton than would now be indicated
Adversely and misfortune are great
teachers and, if the nations learn well
their lesson of 1916, the people of 1916
may be the gamers.
