National Popular Government
League for Progressive Action.

Reconstruction along progressive
lines is demanded by the National
Popular Government League in a pro-
gram which will be submitted to the
nation. and to Congress in the near
future.
1t is believed that the league will
demand government ownership of
railways, telegraphs. telephones, in
land waterways and other public
utilities. 1t will ask for the speedy
return of the soldiers of the United
States now in France, Russia, Italy
and other countries.
1t is planned also to send a delega-
ton to Paris to work with the COM
missioners from the United States in
any constructive plan for the as
surance of the future peace of the
world.
Judson King, the secretary of the

War Repulsive to Them.

There is strong sentiment in Eng
land today among all elements that
the Lloyd George government adapt
itself to the American spirit and
principles rather than resorung to
tra-conservatism. for they feel that
only through the actual carrying out
of Americas idea in the settlement OF
war can future wars be prevented.
How deep seated is this abhorrance
of further struggle l cannot begin to
describe, but / can state that in tie
heart of every Britisher-man, woman
and child-with whom / have talked
there is utter Tevulsion against the
idea. Furthermore, they believe. and
believe sincerely, that only America
can be fully trusted to lead in bring
ing these things to pass.
On the face of things it would APP
pear that in the elections just closed
Mr. Lloyd George won a vote of con-
fidence from the people. This in a
measure is true. But, generally
speaking, there appears to prevail the
opinion that the defeat of former
Premier Asquith and so-called AS
quithites, Arthur Henderson and other
liberal leaders of England, is. a direct
rebuke of the peoples for their pacifist
leanings during the period of, the con-
fict. This is the first time the people
by ballot had chance to vent their ire.

TEST FOR LLOYD GEORGE
By OLIVER OWEN KUHN.
Special stan Correspondent of The
Evening star.

LONDON. December 3o.--Will the
British elections, which placed in
Premier Lloyd Georges hands greater
power than he ever has exercised. in
crease the cordiality which now exists
between the British and American
peoples as q whole. or will the British
government, intreuched by the power
of overwhelming victory, revert 10 a
degree Of conservatism which shah in
the end minimize the chances of
meeting America on the common
grounds OF liberalism aud broad spirit
Of humanity as advanced in the pre-
cepts Of President Wilson
This is q question that is being
given more than cursory considera-
ton 10y the people Of England since
the ballots were counted and the
coalition government intrenehed in
power. with full control of recon-
struction problems and policies.
There is fear that possible reversion
to extreme conservatism may In
way cause British leaders to antag-
onize rather than attempt TO haT-
monize such differences as to details
in the settlement of the broad prob
lens of internationalism - issues
which must be successfully settled IN
Paris or Versailles if Europe is to
emerge from the present state of in
dustrial and social chaos occaSioned
by the rfgorS of war.

DUTY of "New Russia"
Fear Hiccoughs Will Prove Fatal.

Attacked on Friday with hiccoughs,
Jacob Buxton, a prominent merchant

unable to obtain relief, notwithstand
ing the fact that every known remedy
has been used, and he has been under

Principles Enumerated.

These principles are:
81. The new legal order must be
founded on the sovereignty of the peo-
pie who will exercise their power
through organizations of their own
choice. which will be responsible to
the people and will guarantee to them
the inalienability of their sovereignty.
80. No difference is to be made be-
tween the peoples prerogatives and
class privileges. There will be equality
for all in the eyes of the law and free
access to all the degrees of the politi-
cal and social scale.
"3. The rapid development of pro-
ducing forces. The encouragement of
all private initiative and all measures
likely to attract capital in the coun-
try. At the same time the state must
adopt all measures to safeguard for
the laboring classes all the economic
and social experience accumulated by
international practice.
Problems Rated Most Important.
~ The most important question
must be the settlement of the agricul-
tural problems which. to attain social
peace. must be solved in the interest
of the large masses.
"5. During the revolution disorder
ly movement occurred on. the part of
peasants who took possession of the
land. This exceptional situation de-
mands exceptional means for dealing
with 1t, but to return to the ancient
state of affairs is impossible. Peasants
must own more land than hitherto,
but for the present state of anarchy
there must be substituted some legal
basis
The declaration continues by advo-
eating administrative decentraliza-
ton and recalls that after the revo-
luton of 1917 the new Russia pro-
claimed the independence of Poland
and revised the ties uniting Russia
and Poland. AT that time. it is said;
the autonomy of the Baltic peoples
was urged.
Duty of "New Russia"
This work. interrupted by the boil
shevist movement must be resumed"
the declaration says. New Russia
must destroy at their origin the arti-
fetal causes of unhealthy separatism.
She must cause the unity of the state
to become organic by making the in
ter'ests of the state. as n whole, cor
respond to the particular interests
of each of the nationalitieS represent
ed in the country"
Tie declaration concludes by say
ing:
Russia pledges. herself to fulfill all
obligations arising from treaties she
concludes, but claims the right to be
Unidentified by the enemy for dam
ages sustained during the war which
caused her heavy sacrifices"

Has Accomplished Wonders.

Premier Lloyd George, from the
standpoint of war, accomplished Won
ders in the specialization of Britain's
en6eayor. He was handicapped at
every turn in his wonderful work in
the ministry of munitions, when he
gave to the army its striking power;
after becoming premier he was en-
barrassd in his work at many points.
He has been forced to fight consist
emily against those elements in Brit
ism political life which have sought to
weaken consistent endeavor Lloyd
George has carried on with firm hand.
In the peoples rebuke to those who
dared to hinder British war endeavor
the hands of Mr.. Lloyd George have
been able to get frmer grip upon the
bark of state, temporarily at least.
The British premier has outlined
great reconstruction program for
England. He has promised that the
men who have fought for Great
Britain shall receive proper place in
the economic scheme of things. There
must be readjustment and liberaliza-
they affect the conditions surrounding
the laboring man.
The working classes of England, he
says, must receive better treatment.
higher wages. And fog some reason the
working classes believe that applica-
ton of Wisonian principles will settle
their own individual problems as well as
international.
Citing the slow trend from extreme
liberalism to conservatism in the pre-
mier's political career in England, many
prominent men with whom | have talk
ed admit that there are fears. among the
working classes that Mr.. Lloyd George
may not be able to carry out his broad
processes of reconstruction fnaSmuch
as he may not be able to adjust them
to the aspirations of the capitalisuc
conservative classes which the labor
ing man of England suspects of har-
boring no keen desire to see better
ment of laboring and social conditions
throughout England.

Has Done His Work Well.

Mr.. Lloyd George. it is admitted by
most every one in England, has done
his war work well. Can he bring
about peace that will coincide with
the approved policies of America? Can
he cement even greater the union of
British and American peoples? Can he
live true TO his pledge to the working
classes of England and bring to pass
better conditions?
Will the same degree of efficiency
that has marked his course in the war
be exerted on behalf of the common
people of England?
These are the questions of the hour.
AS l have stated previously, Mr..
Lloyd George is on trial, and unless
he succeeds England will have cleo
tions within the period of the next
six months or year and other parties
will ride into power. Today the labor
ties compose the real opposition to the
coalitionists.
It generally is said among the lower
and middle classes in London today
that only swift and just settlement of
the issues which confront the people
by virtue of forced wartime conditions
will prevent the labor interests from
striking a sure and swift blow against
the coalition. And from what + am
able to learn the coalitionists recog-
niZe this fact.
But, though home problems may be
great and early settlement is de-
manded. people generally Iealze that
the task of the moment is the rearrange-
ent OF world relations.
There is firm conviction that the
present government must support
America in the altruistic aims which
have been outlined. If America is
not supported then Premier Lloyd
George and his government face still
another danger.
How America today is figuring
as great force in British politics
possibly may best be shown by the
statement of the British labor leader,
Mr.. Lansbury, who. in explaining the
| labor view Of the elections to me,
stated:
"A1nerica Decided Issue"

that 1t was Mr.. Lloyd George who
