tirming there is nothing in common be-

AMSTERDAM, July 3.-The need of

understanding is emphasized in an open
letter to Arthur Henderson, labor
leader in the British Parliament. from

continuation of war means the ruin
of Europe.

OF peace would have been greater if

One-Man-O -One-Vote System
Put Into Effect; Con-

AMSTERDAM, July 3.--Gcneral cleo

and are passing off quietly. They are
the first to be held under the one
man. one-vote law, which increases the
electorate by about half million and
which also establishes proportional
representation instead of the plural
system, heretofore in vogue.
All indications point to close con-
test as the result of the increased So

tation, with the balance slightly in
favor Of the Left parties in the
Chamber Of Deputies.

coalltlon cabinet with the same corner
stone of foreign policy; namely. the
strict maintenance of the countrv's

Ties are agreed.
There are two> new features in the
campaign this year. One is the elig-
ibility of women, of whom there arc
twenty-five candidates, although the
women are not yet permitted to go to
the polls. The other is the new "busi
ness" party, called the Economic
League, under the leadership Of Fi-

tavors protective tariff and aims at
the development Of private industries
