Small! Encouragement for Kaiser
Nottingham, Eng. Jan. 23.--There
has been small encouragement for the
German Emperor and the Central Pow
ers in the proceedings OF the British
Labor party thus far The leaders Of
the party show a determination IA
take strong line in support of the
war as the only means of obtaining a
democratic peace and in this they ap-
pear to have the loyal support OF a
majority of the delegates.
Labor's War Aims
Each delegate, as he arrived at the
convention yesterday or today was
handed,a circular entitled British La
boris War Aims" which was a copy
of the message sent to Russia in the
name of British labor a few days ago.
This message is the keynote of the
whole present policy of the labor par
ty. Its war aims show no very great
divergence from the statements by
President Wilson, Premier Lloyd
George and other allied statesmen. The
Pacifist minority will make strenuous
cfIcrts to win over the conference dur
irE the discussion or IL resolutions
dealing with the question of peace, but
there is no reason to believe that the
conference will so any distance with
them.
President Wilson figures as one Of
the labor party's prophets at this
years convention. In the opening ses-
sion today his name was mentioned no
less than six times. in each case in
connection with his recent war aim
speech which Was described as essen
TALLY the same point Of view as the
RriGSn labor partE's. The fraternal
delegate OF the French Socialists gain
ed hearty applause when he said:
president Wilson has declared. on
behalf OF the common people Of the
whole world, the terms which the
common people want. His Statement,
has now been agreed to by every al
lied government. including the Russian
Bolsheviki. In the face of this unan-
unity Of opinion the Central govern
ments are silent but their peoples are
restless and disturbed and before long
they. too. must come into agreement. ;.
That the moderate policy of the pres
emit executive meets with the entire APP
prevail OF the party was indicated BY the
virtually unanimous vote with which an
proval was given to the annual report of
the executive committee 1t must be re

not merely a labor congress as IN the

a considerable part of his forces, at any

The war department has had little to say
on this subject. No hints have been

will be established. but the impression is
gaining strength here that the day is not
