"My best wishes for the most har-

slavery unprecedented in the world,

respect and esteem in the nations at

to note the position of world leader
ship he occupies, and wherever the
commission went it found the same
generous measure of praise and ad-
miration.
"Great Britain has more than
100000 men and women engaged
in the production of war materials,

of the ministry of munitions. The
cost of living has risen most. amaz-
ingly in both France and Great

women of France and Great Britain
in bearing the tremendous share of
The burden of the war.
"The need of establishing a pow
rful trades union international is
taking a deep root in Europe; the
dawn of a new day is breaking
throughout the world, a day in
which labor will be called upon to
lay larger and more important
ole than ever before, and we must
be prepared to measure up to it
md assume the larger responsible
les that will go with it.
No Bickering
"The day for petty pickering and
iivision over inconsequential differ
noes is passing, and laborers
throughout the world, united on
'ound principles, must bring not only
themselves, but to all the peoples
