London. June 24.-The govern
ment faces two large problems this
week. There will be the Irish de-
bate agitation tomorrow, the meet
ing Of the labor party on wednes-
day, and coupled with these IL the
large possibility of the ending Of
the political truce. Both occasions
will be used for the airing Of the
pacifist issues. which are expected
to have prominence for the rest of
the week.
The agitation is totally improper
toned to the size of the elements
involved. but It possibly win be
pushed to the extent Of a test of
strength In many ways similar to
the episode between Premier Lloyd
George and General Maurice.
The Premier himself II likely
personally to enter both OF the
fights with speeches which win
clear the air Of what the Times
brands as Bolshevism.
One of the most bitter attacks on
the attempts to stampede the labor
party Is printed today by the Eve
ming Standard. The paper scores q.

saving of Russia.
Pankhurst Demands.
Miss Pankhurst addressed members
Of the Woman's party in London,
among those present being the wife
of Premier Hughes OF Australia.
Victory must be won," Miss Pank-
hurst declared. Victory or death is
our motto. We never will be a party
to the signing Of a compromise peace.
II that Is the plan Of the politicians,
we will burst It up. This Is our
challenge. You have got to win this
war. and win it no matter what the
difficulty. You have made difficulties
for yourselves. With no matter what
pain, or sacrifice, or cost, we defy the
soldiers to come buck home without
victory. We say:
Don't come unless you are vic
