the accepted political principles Of demo-

of a commission OF inquiry to proceed
to Russia to investigate the situation.

sage:

Lord Curzon. of Kedleston, president

Premier received the Labor and Socialist
delegates at Downing street, Thursday.
A resolution submitted by the delega-
ton dealt with responsibility for the
war, the league of nations, territorial
questions, an international labor charter
and prisoners of war.
The Premier indicated his agreement
with a number of the problems. He
emphasized how the same difficulties
encountered at Berne had been encoun-
tered by the government at the Peace
Conference.
The Premier's speech to the miners
showed the government apparently has
not settled the policy concerning the
naturalization of mines.
