Cites Russian Disaster.

II has to be recognized that no great
er disaster had occurred during the
war than the fatal omission to do the
utmost to keep Premier kerensky ana
his government in power in Russia
The people must be on their guard
against a repetition of the same fatal
policy over a wider field. 1t IS hlshiy
improbable. Mr.. Henderson declared
that the war can be ended by d dt
cisive Prussian military triumph II
might end by process of exhaustion,
and that meant continuance OF the
war, with all its horrors. until the
destruction of human life and ma

That did not mean surrender TO the

willing to condone German brutality or
to leave Germany with all her power

War Aims of Labor.

Mr.. Henderson then recited the wen
known war aims of the labor party. IN :
Guiding d league of nations He SAID
that such league implied the COM
plete characterization of the machln-
ery of government in all countries, the
suppression of the greed of diplomacy
and the publication of treaties. whlch
must never contravene the stipulation
of the league of nations. 1t meant the
concerted abolition of compulsory mill
tary service in all countries to be pre-
pared for by a common limitation OF
ornaments and also that they must
abandon every suggestion OF an eco
nor1ic boycott or of the financial or
commercial isolation of Germany.
The speaker quoted a recent speech of
Philip Scheidemann, the German ma
jority socialist leader, and articles in
the socialist Eorwaerts proving that
there was struggle in the central
powers between the military caste and
the forces of democracy. The people
must help the forces of democracy in
Germany to the utmost
The German policy toward Russia
made the possibility of peace by con-
Citation much more remote. The peo-
pie must convince the German people
that victory for such ruthless miiitar-
ism would fasten permanently upon
democratic nations the awful burden of
armament and enforced service and
that the greater the German success on
the battlefield the more remote was
world peace.
