Henderson Us. Lloyd George

Arthur Henderson's return to par
lament is a great victory for the Bri-
fish Labor party and for world decency.
England is naturally the key to world
politics by reason of her banking power,
her fleet and her great colonial possessions.
Lloyd George has been using his Office,
secured by "victory'talk in December
last, to pull the chestnuts for big capt.
talism out of the fire, and it would appear
from the number of Ia points lost be-
tween America and Paris that he had
a lot of help from this side of the water.
Henderson now takes his place as
leader of the opposition in parliament,
as we'll as leader of the British Labor
party, and unless British labor falls
for conciliatory hog-wash, as prime
minister after the next general cleo
ton. He stands for self-deternina-
ton for all peoples, including Rus
SLAMS and the Irish, for Nationalist
ton of transportation and all the great
monopolies, for the establishment Of 9
minimum standard of living, and fol
a levy on concentrated wealth to helE
pay for the war.
At the beginning of the war Hender
son entered the British cabinet ane
did much to line British labor up bacl
Of the war. His support OF Lloye
George, however, ended when the prime
minister attempted to help profteerinl
employers to outgeneral labor unde7

In their advocacy of M. J. Bowling
Of Renville County, committee of cit

virtues of their candidate. They say
he is a man of the kindness of a Nc
Kin!ey" People should be careful in
making any comparisons, especially with
people who are dead and gone and cannot
defend themselves. This very same
Bowling spoke at a loyalty meeting
(so-called) in New Ulm about two years
ago and he, then and there, advocated
that any one who did not happen to
adhere to his brand of patriotism and
loyalty should be backed up against
a stone wall and shot. A fine, kindly
spirit, forsooth!

Who would have believed it possible
that a civilized government. e., a
so-called civilized government would
deliberately and in cold blood kill mil
lions of men, women and children, kill
them by process of slow and horrible
starvation because their economic and
political ideas do not meet with it's
approval? Future generations will find
it hard to believe such things-but the
historical documents will be there.
