sIIow strong are the Councils of Action?"
asked George Lansbuly, Editor Of the Daily
Herald and one of the members Of the Central
Council.
Strong enough to stop the war with Rus
sa," he answered Strong enough to tie UP every
important British industry within forty-eight
hours And let me tell you, the Councils are nos
going out Of business until this country has made
peace with the Government of the Soyiets"
Mr.. Lansbury then explained how the Central
Council had come into being at the critical hour
when it seemed certain that the Government was
about to declare open warfare against the Rus
slams; when indeed, it was supposed that the
Government had sent drastic ultnatum to Rus
sia. The Parliamentary Committee of the Trade
Union Congress, the Executive Committee of the
Labor Party and the Parliamentary Labor Party
each selected five members of the total of fifteen
'The Council, so constituted, was called the
Labor and Russia Council of Action" Later,
nine other men were added to the Council making
it's present membership twenty-four A special
Labor Congress, summoned to consider the enner-
gency, endorsed the Council and gave it full power
to take such action as might seem necessary to
prevent the war with Russia
Local Councils Spring Up.
Meanwhile local Councils OF. Action have
been organized in some four hundred Of the prin-
cipal industrial centres Of the United Kingdom,
The movement has grown like wid-fire and has
behind it the unanimous support Of practically
every branch of the working class movement in
Great Britain.
"The British people do not want to fight a
war with the workers Of Russia. They are firmly
convinced that the Russians have the right to set
up the kind of government that suits them. The
Council Of Action was organized at the psychology
ical moment when it rounded up all Of that tidal
wave of intense feeling.

fact that it holds an economic mandate. 1t has

The Position Of The Government.
4eWhat is the position of the Government with
regard to the Council?" asked
.The Government holds that it is unconstitu-
tonal", answered Mr.. Lansbury shat it is in fact
Soviet Consequently they have launched saw
age attack against the Council and everyone con-
nected with it. And that is exactly what we need
ed to make our ground sure The more the Gov
eminent attacks the Council as workingman's
soviet, the more the workers will feel that they
have to support it. The best service the capital
lists can do it to go on with the attack.
"Take the case of the Herald. Before they
printed that story about our having been SUBJ
sidized by the Russians with Chinese bonds, our
circulation was around three hundred thousand.
On that attack, we went up thirty thousand Dur

again - this time by the leader Of the press.

Daily Horoscope

During the early morning hours of
this day Saturn is in sinister aspect,
according to astrology, but later
Neptune, Mars and Mercury are all
in places that promise much to NOR
tails.
The evil power of Saturn at this
time is said by oCcultists to be part
of the great plan that is to bring
humanity into closer relation to
spiritual things, for when material
mated men and women turn to the
unseen world.
Real estate will be subject to eX-
treme fluctuations in certain cities.
Booms will be followed by depres-
sion, which will not be lasting. how
ever. for there will constantly grow
a sentiment in favor of home own
ership.
Some sort Of anxiety affecting
farmers and agriculturists may be
apparent this autumn but there is a
good promise of large returns on
produce.
While prices of many staples may
drop food will continue to be cost
ly for some time and restaurants
will never again be able to offer the
old time schedule.
This should be a fortunate time
for starting on ocean trips and an
important foreign mission seems to
be foreshadowed.
All that is constructive whether 1t
be in the line of mere organization
or whether il be material building
is now subject to the most stimu
lating influences.
California is subjected to a sway
of the stars making for sensational
events. Not only in politics but in
commercial matters development of
great moment are prOgnosticated.
While Mercury is read as fore
casting success and initiative for
writer's. there is friendly star that
is believed to encourage oratory.
Many women will speak, but few
will convince, however, according to
the seers.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the forecast of an active and sue
cessful year in which new avenues
for money-making will open.
