BRITISH LABOR

According to LanSdon Davies, a
member of the British labor group,
who is now touring the United
states, the government of Great
Britain will be in the hands of la
Dor within the next five years"
He declares that the old political
parties there have combined in an
effort to preserve civilization as it
is at present constituted, but that
they will be swept away before the
progressive program of the labor
p&rty, which "aims at ending a civ
ilization built on capitalism"
When it comes to government
capitalism or government by labor,
the general public, which after all
is the majority, will have neither
of them. Both capital and labor
are all right In their places, but
neither of them should be in the
position of dictator in government
1t is the evil of things in Russia
that the worst element at the top
was supplanted by the worst ele-
ment at the bottom. 1t is confusion
worse confounded.
Capital and labor are all right
when they are in balance-when
the general public holds the bal
ance of power. When there is a
disarrangement Of this order, prog

government has gone far enough to
discover that it cannot get ON with

The impossibility OF keeping up
even the thin pretense that talk of
trading with the Russian coopera.
tiyes does not mean peace of some
sort with Lenine has now been made
apparent. The representative of
the Russian cooperatives in Paris
says that his organization can do
nothing without the consent of the
Soviet government, and an official
Bolshevist wireless says that re
opening of trade must be contin-
gent upon the cessation of hostili.
ties. Otherwise every allied ship
coming to Russian port IN be
sunk. The statement that the pro-
posed opening of trade with the CO.

il might really deceive somebody,
