ENGLISH LABOR
LOOKS TO PROBE
Employers Also Hopeful Of
Good Results from
Conference.

London, Feb. 2s.-Settlement of
the industrial question in Great
Britain may hinge on the investi-
CATION begun today by the commits
sion appointed yesterday by the in
dustrial parliament with the sane
ton of the government, the employ
ers and a majority OF the trades
unions.
Laboritcs and employers are
frankly hopeful that the commission
will get good results. Withdrawal
of the railway men, miners and
transport workers from the parlia-
ment is not interpreted as meaning
dissension in the ranks of labor, but
as indicating the triple alliance"
believes It is strong enough to guard
its own interests. Radical labOrites,
such as Will Thorne and Miss Jes-
sic stephens, who represents 10000
women. are most optimistic, figuring
any investigation will benefit labor,
1T is a step forward" said Thorne,
The fact that employers will sit
at a table beside workers means the
commissions decision will be ac-
cepted by the conference"

CUBA INVITES
CR0WGER'S AID
Head of Draft Machine to
Revise Islands Elec-
ton Laws.

Mai. Gen. Enoch II. Crowder. the
man who handled the draft. is 60
ing down to Cuba in a few days t.
help that sister republic revise its
election laws prior to the foTthcom-
ing Presidential election. Gen.
Crowder was considered by Cuba so
eminently fitted for the work that
the Cuban government requested
Secretary of War Baker to let him
go to Havana and do the job.
Mr.. Baker yesterday gave this
permission, and, commenting on it,
said:
You may be interested to know,
as am interested to tell you. that
l have requested the State Depart
ment to notify President MenOcal OF
Cuba, that the War Department is
very much pleased at the invitation
extended by the President of Cuba
to Gen. Crowder to come to Cuba
and confer and consult with Cuban
legal authorities on the subject OF
notifications of their election legis-
1ation, and has arranged to permit
Gen. Crowder to go.
The War Department and the
army generally feel that this is a
very fine tribute TO Gen. Crowder
whose services in Cuba are known
to the Cuban people. and evidently
have been so highly valued that the
President regards the call to Gen.
Crowder as a call to a man in whom
the Cuban people have the highest
confidence. 1t is a fine exhibition
OF the possibility of cooperation
between the two republics.

London. Feb. 2S-Social revolution
aries have Joined forces With the
Bolshcviki, their former opponents,
to oppose allied interference in Rus
sian internal affairs, it was reported
in a wireless dispatch received from
MOSCOW today.
The dispatch said that social rev.
olutionaries of the old constituent as
seYnbly had arrived in Moscow to ne
gotiate with Premier Lenine. They
issued a manifesto admitting the
charge that the Bolsheviki had ac-
cepted money from Germany was
false. The manifesto concluded:
Allied interference in internal Rus
sia is becoming more definite. Al
though we do not agree with the
Bolshcviki on many points. il is our
duty to call all citizens. worlNmen
and peasants to cease civil war and
unite against the common enemy"
Russia Must Find Herself.
Paris, Feb. &.-Russia must hnd
herself. That seems TO be the verdict
of the Allied statesmen.
1t will be a long and a painful
process. both for Russia and for
the world, but it is realized now by
the statesmen of the great nations
who are assembled in Paris. that there
is no escape from il.
1t is now abundantly evident, in fact
alarmingly so, that the Archangel ex-
pedition has been a great failure. That
is admitted even by those who arc
still unwilling to concede that the eX-
pedition was undertaken under com
plete misconception of the Russian
peoples real attitude.
But President Wilson still remains
undiscouraged in his desire to find
out what the real attitude and pur-
poses Of the Russians are and ascer-
tain whether it be not possible by
reason and fair dealing still TO have
Russia adopt a regime which will Of
fer promise OF happiness and pros
perity to the Russian people and at
the same time constitute an additional
bulwark in maintaining the eQullib-
rum and peace of the world.

Former Opponents of Lenine- Trotsky Regime
Appeal to Followers to "Unite Against
the Common Enemy"

Russi& with the allies cannot be
over-estimsted in the view of some
of the statesmen here. Some go so
far as TO say that the permanent
success of the league of nations and
the security of Europe and the
world against another catastrophe
like, or even worse than that just
passed, depends upon the attitude
which Russia shall take towards the
new order now being evolved by the
Paris conference.
They see Germany done with
junkerism and military autocracy
and on the way to become the most
nighly-socialized Republican state
IN the world. Unless some sort OF
communion OF thought be establish
ed between the O.eOO.O 900 people OF
Russia and the other allied nations
of Europe. the inevitable tendency
of Russia they say, will be towards
an alliance with Germany, with
whose people she is likely to be in
accord politically and economically.

Passage at This

Conferences held yesterday by Re-

still may be a chance for the 5000,
100000 Victory Loan bill to be passed
before Congress adjourns. 1t is prob
able that consideration of the bill by
the Senate will begin today
1t was stated during the day that
the Republicans had weakened in
their determination to block the pas
sage of the bill and were inclined TO
help the Democrats pass it, The
view taken by the Republicans was
that IL the bill failed to pass the sue
cess of the Victory Loan would be
imperilled and they hestated to ac-

suit.
Senators Lodge. Penrose and Smoot
were in conference most of the after
noon with other Senators on the Re

though no definite conclusion was
reached, it is understood that the Re-

passage of the bond bill, but will do
nothing to expedite the passage of the
army, navy and sundry civil bills. II
appears certain that these bills will

That Unless Better Cove

Burden OF proof is upon advocates
OF The league of nations to show that
it will not interfere with American
policies, Senator Lodge declared yes
terday in a two-hour speech in the

Unless some better constitution
than this can be drawn" he said,
''it seems to me that the worlds
peace would be much better. much
more surely prompted, by allowing
the United States to go under the
Monroe Doctrine, responsible for the
peace OF this hemisphere. without any
danger of collision with Europe as
to questions among the various
American States. II a league is de-
sired it might be made up by the
European nations whose interests are
chiefly concerned, and with which the

to his address because he Is slated to

Committee in the next Senate or

Showing plainly that the Presidents

adoption of the document as it stands.
His speech received closest attention
from both sides OF the chamber.
