HENDERSON MAY HELP
FORM US. LABOR PARTY
British Leader Coming to America
in Fall-Workers' Views
on Treaty.

BY ARTHUR DRAPER.
Cablegram to The Sunday Star and the
New York Tribune. Copyright, 1919.
LONDON, May 9.-Arthur Hender-
son, the British labor leader. probably
will visit America early in the fall on
the invitation of labor organizations in
New York city to confer with all per-
sons and unions desiring to form an
American labor party along political
lines.
Henderson started for Paris this
morning to meet members Of the Bern
executive committee for discussion of
the peace treaty. Judging from the
labor manifesto, British labor disowns
the treaty. Nevertheless conversation
the party leads to the belief that the
hostility won't go so far as might be
supposed.
Extremist laborites such as Ramsay
Macdonald, antagonistic to the moderate
elements, console themselves with the
thought that the peace is not as bad as
might have been expected. They depart
in nowise from their former opinions,
but declare that the treaty is capable Of
generous Interpretation II Germany
shows a change OF heart.
According to one prominent laborite
the peace is much better than would
have been obtained If President Wilson
had not overcome the chief labor criti-
cism directed to the territorial sections
wherein was seen unfair application of
the principle of self determination.
Extreme labor considers pension pay
ments to the allied soldiers by Germany
an unfair application of the fourteen
points, but looks to the league Of aa-
tions to right such questions II time
shows that they involve injustice to
Germany.
