Alongside Their Program North
Dakota's New Laws Look
Very Conservative.
Those who denounce the laws
passed by the farmers legislature as
visionary, impossible OF realization,
socialistic and subversive Of our
present form of government, will find
something to think on, IL they will
widen the horison Of their vision and
take In what isi going on in, Great
Britain at the present time. IL they
will do that, they will look at North
Dakota's new laws with quite q modi-

Picture Of British Situation.
A picture Of the situation in Great
Britain is furnished by william Allen
White. It does not come from radical
or sOcialistic sources and Mr.. Whites
accounts Of British affairs appear in
the anti-League press Of this and other
sttaes. One Of his articles appeared
in the Fargo Forum Of June 9Th, and
1t is to this one that the attention Of
North Dakotans should be drawn, Mr..
White writes: III AZ
"The British revolution, bloodless,
deep and fundamental, is sweeping on,
while everyone waits. The coalition
party, controlling Parliament tor
les, liberals and radicals-is working
cautiously vet effectively upon revo-
lutfOnary changes. The coalition is
made up Of forces which in American
would be symbolized by Senator Lodge.
Senator Hiram Johnson and Samuel
Gompers. a
To conflsoate Land for Homes.
"That coalition is now considering
three bills, one to provide for houses
built by money from the national
treasury, under supervision Of the
local municipalities UPON CONFIs-
GATED LAND; another bill to take
over the railways and all public
highways and a third to nationalize
all mines and mineral rights.
"But business goes on as usual, the
price Of food being gradually boosted,
after being summarily reduced early
In the spring and Parliament continues
day by day to draw5nearer nationaliza-
ton Of housing, transportation and
mines, with labor radicals waiting to
demand NATURALIZATION OF
ELECTRIC POWER, DOCKS AND
|SHIPPING. .11
@ England Changing Hands.
I'm the meanwhile the London
Times calls attention, to the great
number Of real estate advertisements
in its columns and declares, England
Is Changing Hands The old owners
fare moving in England.
Labor Dictates Policy.
"This week the Triple Alliance of
Unions-the dock workers, the rail-
road workers and the miners-have
called conference to consider gem
eral strike IL the secretary of state for
war does not Immediately make salts
factory public promises concerning the
withdrawal Of troops from Russia,
the abolition Of conseription, the rails
ing Of the Russian and German block
AIDES and the release Of DIRECTORS. This
powerful section Of labor has twice,
within six months, brought the govern
ment to its knees, and with employ
ment bonuses furnishing funds 1t will
be easy to vote strike. &
ION the other hand the parliament
airy committee Of the unions has re-
ceived private assurances from Bonar
Law that these demands will be met by
the government, but the Triple Alliance
demands that a PUBLIC PROMISE
BE REGISTERED by Bonar Law for
his government.
Not Bolshevism. ms
Now. this situation is not critical,
but is exceedingly serious. It will not
mean Bolshevism, even IL It Is success
full. but it does mean a genuine rise Of
the labor party to power and the rise
is coming steadily. &
/ The relation Of all this British labor
movement to the Paris treaty Is this
When British labor takes control Of
the government it will move for q
softer peace. German statesmen
watching England, know this. The
British labor leaders make no bones
that this is their, aim and SO far as the
British government sees. they surely
will attain it, 81. ii,
