insist that, the government has given its pledge and must fulfill it.
 Discussing. this phase of postwar conditions, Professor L. Hobhouse, head of the department of Sociology in London University and one of the Governments advisers on labor, said to-day:
 "The business of the Minister of Re- construction is to think out the best methods by which the half-formu1at ed, half-understood impulses of the masses of people cAn get themselves expressed in reasonable manner. The first problem with which we shall be faced Is that of reconstructing trade. union conditions. I say recon structing advisedly, because if we would be those who would say at once that it is impossible in view of the total change in conditions which the war has brought about.
 stBut this is a, problem in whieh the
 good faith of the Government in in voIved. Nothing could be more definite than the pledge to trade unionists that the alterations involved in dilution o1
 labor and the suspension of customs
 of the trade should hold only for ths period of the war. If this pledge i. 1 not fulfilled 1t will be a, fatal blow to the confidence of the public in the good faith of governments. If it i. shown that it cannot be- fulfilled be cause circumstances have altered, ths | answer must be that we can only var!

ALEXANDER BEHR
 BACK FROM RUSSIA

New York, Aug. 31-Alexander V. Behr, vice president of the Russian American chamber of commerce in Moscow, who was identified with the organization of the American Russian chamber of commerce in New York, arrived yesterday from Russia.
 '.The situation in Russia," MT. Behr said, lis grave and serious one. The difficulties are great and the gravity of the situation must not be under estimated, but no one who Is thor oughIy familiar with the Russian peo- pie and with present conditions there can doubt that out of the present difficulties there is slowly but surely emerging a stronger, greater and finer Russia which will establish a stable and democratic form of gov- ernment. "Especially during the last six weeks there has been steady growth in the desire of all classes to develop a governmental machinery which will bring about greater stability.

pledge with the consent of the per-
 sons to whom the pledge was made. .4'If it is true that old labor con
 ditions cannot be restored, then it will
 be for the trade unionists to determine what arrangements they would accept as a substitute for the old conditions. The Reconstruction Committee has already taken a step in this direction by suggestion the formation of Indus trial Councils in which both employer and employed shall be represented and have considerable powers in shap- l ing the course of each industry. In such councils it will be possible for I trade unionists and employers to dis
 cuss frankly and fully the best meth l ods of meeting the new situation, so as to secure a renewed progress of
 British industry with fair conditions | for the worker. Any system to which l the trade union members of such councils agree might, for that indus | try, be taken as the fair equivalent .ot 1 that restoration of conditions which Il pledged.
 l Much of the unrest in the labor l world to-day, attributed, to doubts as l to the fulfillnent of>tIis pledge, might I be overcome if such a method of re-
 deen1ing the pledge were adopted"

LONDON. April 14.-During these
weeks of waiting for the declaration
of war that is expected from congress
when il assemblies discussion and
speculation concerning the intentions
of the United States have been uni
versal despite the enthrallng topics
of the Russian revolution and the
German retreat in the west. Tact
prevents public men from giving in
terviews on the American question at
this time, but during the past weeks
] have talked to many representatives
of all shades of British opinion, and
am able TO indicate the general views
current.
Comment divides itself into discus
sion of the part the United States
may play in the actual fighting, and
into speculation concerning the Amer
lean attitude at the peace conference
and the trend which the foreign
policy of Washington will take after
the war on the first point, there is
genuine and widespread relief and
gratitude that at last the United
States is ranging itself definitely
against Germany, the only exceptions
being few high tories-who are so

ideas and of President Wilson that
they would dispense with American
aid thru dread of American influence
in Europe-and an insignificant
group of extreme pacifists.
Beating the Submarine.
SO far as the actual fighting goes,
contradictory rumors and predictions
from America make everyone chary
of predicting what President Wilson
and congress are prepared to do. The
submarine menace still occupies first
place in the minds of the most thot-
fIl. and perhaps the greatest interest
centers in the American proposals to
inaugurate great merchant ship
building campaign which shall con-
vince Germany that she cannot starve
ont the entente by sinking tonnage.
Many Englishmens have said to me,
"lf America will only build wooden
ships as fast as she can, regardless of
the expense, she can win the war for
us if she does nothing else
