doing he piEloried himself and wrote
his own sentence of condemnation
He abused his own ideals and played

Like all towards he could bluster

over his head, This is Jesus, the

INDUSTRIAL UNREST
DEBATED IN COMMONS
Labor M. p. Urges National
izing Land, Mines, Railways.

I.oSpoN. Feb lathe debate on IN
dustrial unrest was opened in the House
of Commons to-day by William Brace,
Labor member for South Glamorgan,
who moved the official Labor party
amendment in reply to the speech from
the Throne. The amendment expresses
regret at the absence OF any mention
Of a definite proposal for dealing with
the causes OF industrial unrest and for
securing working hours and conditions
Of labor that would establish a higher
standard OF life and social well being
for the people.
Mr. Brace declared that not a little
of the responsibility for the unrest lay
In the failure 10 give responsible ira des
union officials such settlements by ne
gotiations "a they were entitled to re-
ceive and in the granting of concessions
regarding terms after unofficial stop
pages Of work, which conces sions had
been refused TO trades union leaders be-
fore the stoppage.
]. II. Thomas. general secretary OF the
National Union OF Rallwaymen, in sec
Ondlng the amendments. said he had no
hesitation in saying that the difficulties
with the miners. Tailwaymen and trans
port workers were so serious that the
country might at any moment be plunged
into one OF the greatest industrial up
heavals ever known. He asserted that
there were a million men and women I'M
employed.

To prevent the Industrial conquest OF
Russia by Germany the American-Rus-

ton with the College OF tho City of New

lectures on the Russian situation last
night In the Bush Terminal Building.
These organizations declare 1t is vitality
important to the United States and the
Allies that they prevent German intiu-
ence in Russia.
The speaker last nigh: was Frederick
VI. Corse. chairman of the executive conf
mittee OF the American Russian Cham
Der of Commerce, who spent seventeen
years in Russia as manager OF the New
York Life Insurance Company. He said
Russia to-day holds the political and
economic balance Of power In Europe.
As result of the war and the Bolshevik
uDheaval. Russia has not only ceased to
be tho granary of Europe. but presents
an appalling picture of famine. If Rus
sta In her present disorganized condition
is left to drift we can expect the restora-

and guided by Germans. Another great
menace to the peace OF the world looms
