INTER- ALLIED LABOR
THRAETENS REVOLUTION
LAYS DOWN PEACE TERMS
WHICH 1T WILL
DEMAND.

London, Feb. 23.-The interallied
conference which ended its sessions
here today has accepted the war
aims Program as enunciated by
British labor conference Dec. 28,
and the next step probably will be
the calling of an international con
ference at an early date, including
both labor and socialism.
At a luncheon given today in hon
or of the foreign delegates to the
conference, Arthur Henderson, for
mcr member OF the war cabinet and
leader of the labor party, described
these aims as meaning the estab-
liShment of league of nations, in
yolving international cooperation
for disarmament and the prevention
of warfare in the future, the reStora-
ton of Belgium, Serbia, Rumania
and Montenegro and only terri
torial changes in the future based
on justice and right
James Ramsay Mcdonald, Social
iSt and labor member OF parliament,
said that the next step OF labor and
Socialism was to bring the matter
before the German and Austrian
peoples themselves.
Seven Countries Represented.
The program as adopted CORE
spends in general to the declaration
of President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George. 1t has the support
OF the Socialist or labor parties Of
England, France, Italy, Belgium,
Portugal, Rumania and South Afri-
ca. The social revolutionary or
minimalist Russians telegraphed an
endorsement of British labor's war
aims, and added that they had tried
to send delegates to London, but
that Leon Trotzky, the bolsheyist
foreign minister, had refused pass
ports.
The general tone of the confer
ence was in no way pacihSt or pro-
German and the discussions revealed
a sincere resolve among widely sep
arated factions to reach unity. The
program which finally resulted was
passed unanimously.
The French delegate, Albert
Thomas, the former minister of mu-
nitlonS, declared:
The war aims as outlined are the
absolute minimum which we will
accept and il anybody tries to folst
on MS a peace not embodying these
terms it will mean a revolution
which will not halt until Justice has
been secured, even if that takes
many years.
Is Minimum Demand.
Mr.. Henderson also declared that
the program could be regarded as
the minimum demands of the labor
ing classes OF all the allied coun-
tries.
Emile Vandervelde, Socialist lead
er i'll the Belgian chamber of depu-
ties and minister of state, said:
Whether we are victorious or
not, these will remain our war aims
and we shall strive unremittingly
for them"
The conference approved a mo-
ton to send an interallied labor cci-
suit President Wilson; Samuel
egation to the United States to con.

The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-06-07

The German idea IS to get a revision
of the treaty which will be sanctioned
by the allies in order to strengthen
the PanGerman and military parties
against the growing opposition of the
liberal and radical reichstag group
and particularly Of Austria Hungary.
Another new feature Of the Ger
man propaganda is the Qualification of
Ludendorff. Hindenburg, who has in
the past been advertised as the rough,
overbearing military hero, is now
pushed into the background, and Lu-
dendorff brought forward, not pri-
marily as a great soldier, but as a
great statesman, a second Bismarck.
The German game here is very evil
dent. The Junkers hope, when they
have no further use for Ludendorff
as fighter. to introduce him into poll
tics as the man who will negotiate a
strong" peace for Germany. If he
can't altogether help them out of the
military mess they want him to stand
between them and the more moderate
German politicians.
The allies reply to these latest
peace efforts of the central powers is
simply a reiteration OF their previous
replies:
Germany knows pretty we'll what
our terms are. IF she has any concrete
proposals to make, she must put
them forward through the legitimate
channels in plain, unmistakable terms.
Until then war;"
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-06-07

putting out stories that the much ad-
vertised prospective Austrian often
sive will take place only If Italy re-
fuses to consider reasonable" terms
from her enemies. So far he is not
meeting with much success.
The Italians are confident Of vic
tory if the Austrians attack. Their
positions have been splendidly or
ganized both for defense and offense
and this time there are hardly likely
to be any Germans to assist the for
ty Austrian divisions on the line.
The German agents are playing the
same old game of putting out fanciful
peace terms. The latter include the
evacuation Of Belgium and France, the
return of the German colonies, no in
IDENTITIES. and a discussion of the flu
t,1re of French Lorraine. These are
more or less hackneyed propositions.
but there is an interesting addition
which is rather significant
The agents say Germany wants to
discuss the question of revision
of the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
There is sufficient evidence already
at hand to prove that Germany has
no desire to revise" the trea y
against herself if she can help it. but
the political leaders are beginning to
worry about the unfavorable impress
sion the treaty has made not only
throughout the rest of the world but
within the central empires as we'll

Miss Roberts was employed by
Bishop to serve in this capacity.
She was never remunerated for her
work by the extension departm ent.
A part of her salary was paid by the
board of education of the Keokuk
schools.
The board has decided that if Miss
Roberts salary is not paid by the ex-
tension department by July warrant
will be drawn on the school fund.
In the mean time, Mr.. Aldrich is
taking Bishop to task for what he
alleges are numerous false promises
made Miss Roberts. The agricultural
extension department is indebted to
the teacher to the extent of $50.
