England Faces
Problem In
Reconstruction

London, Aug. neutrality-suspicious.
of The Associated Press).-A vast
sphere of work lies before the new
British minister, of reconstruction,
whose office has just been added to
those included in the British cabinet.
Premier Lloyd George is firmly con-
WINGED that the foundation for the
complex work of reconstruction. after
the war ought to be begun at once,
even IL 1t is at first confined to mat
tiers Of inquiry and investigation.
Nhe largest question before the
rev ministry will be the question OF
carrying out the governments
pledges to the labor unions that their
pre-war position will be restored to
them. Employers frequently have
argued that this will be impossible.
Union leaders insist that the gov
eminent has given its pledge and
must fulfill it.
Discussing this phase of postwar
conditions, Professor L. T. Hobhouse,
head of the department of Sociology
in London university and one OF the
governments advisers on labor, said
today:
'The business of the minister Of
reconstruction is to think out the
best methods by which the half
formulated, half-understood impulses
of the masses of people can get
themselves expressed in a reasonable
manner. The first problem with
which we shall be faced is that Of
demonstrating trade union condi-
tions. / say reconstructing advised
ly, because five were to speak Of
restoration there would be those who
would say at once that it is impos-
sible in view of the total change in
conditions which the war has brought
about.
''But this is a problem in which
the good faith of the government is
involved. Nothing could be more
definite than the pledge to trade
unionists that the alterations involv-
ed in .dilution Of labor and the sus-
pension OF customs of the trade
should hold only for the period OF the
war. IL this pledge is not fulfilled 1t
will be fatal blow to the confidence
OF the public in the good faith of gov
ernments. II 1t is shown that it can
not be fulfilled because circumstances
have altered, the answer must be
that we can only vary pledge with
the consent of the persons to whom
the pledge was made.

afternoon sunshine. The surface was
scored into puzzle of diverging lines by
the wheels of carts and carriages, cycles
and motors. Yet Peace hunted it over
even more closely than he had hunted
the paths in the grounds. He was par
ticularly anxious to know the position
in which the body had lain, and finally
the sergeant got down in the drying mud
to show him.
Apparently the colonel had walked
about ten yards from the gate when the
spear struck him. He had fallen almost
in the center Of the road, which at that
point was broad, with stretches of grass
bordering it on either side. His revolver
had not been fired, though he had been
found with it in his hand.

surface, and the sergeant and | following
