Dissolution Of Empire Is Startling Plank M
 Labor Parity Platforn,
(By International News Service)

pendent Labor party will endeavor to have inserted into the platform of the British Labor party at it's twenty first annual conference, now in session at Brighton.
 The program of the conference bristles with resolutions antagonistic to the government of Lloyd George, on whom labor has declared war.
 The declaration of hostilities has | been mutual, with this difference the prime minister recently declared | war on the clements in the labor | movement which aim at revolution, while protesting sympathy and ad- miration for moderate and patriotic labor generally
 l. Labor's declaration of hostilities, the extent and intensity of which have not been completely measure. 1 able heretofore, is revealed in the program of the Labor party confer l ence as beautifully comprehensive, covering, seemingly, virtually the whole field of the coalition govern ment's activities and condemning each and all alike
 ATTACK MADE ON BRITISH
 EMPIRE
 The broadest and most sensational of some scores of contemplated at tacks is the Independent Labor par tvs attack upon the empire itself.
 It's resolution opens with the dec laration that the great war, which was declared by allied statesmen to be waged for the purpose of ending mili- tarism and war, has failed to realize that declared purpose
 Therefore, the Independent Labor party asks the British Labor party conference to declare:
 That the aim of imperialism with militarism as it's instrument, being the acquisition of further territory and economic concessions and the suppression of self-government and the employment of native races, inn perialism is full of danger to our na- tional peace and is antagonistic to the independent existence of variety Of race and is, therefore, opposed to international amity and human prog ress.
 That the responsibilities of an im- perial government not only distract 1 the attention of democracy from do- mestic affairs and elevate the im- portance of the military at the ex- pense of the civil classes in the state, but introduce ideas of govern ment by dominant race which are sure to act adversely upon the principles of democracy, and that therefore imperialism is opposed to democracy.
 IMPERIALISM PRODUCT OF
 FINANCE
 That on it's economic and indus trial side imperialism is either the product of an attempt of financiers and spectators to exploit the wealth of foreign countries or an idea of the British manufacturer that he needs military intervention in the capture of foreign markets for trade and is, therefore, an excuse for the want of his business enterprise. Im- perialism, therefore, tends to perpet- uate the reign of capitalism, not only | by increasing the power of wealth, but by neglecting the needs of the home market and leaving the natural resources of our own country unde- veloped.
 That the Socialist movement be- ing international, we deprecate every political sentiment which tends to raise foreign suspicion and jeal- ousy, and we declare for a foreign policy based on the idea that all peo- ples should harmoniously cooperate to promote peace and liberty in the world, and that regarding the less civilized or weaker people, we should pursue policy of protection without interference in their own self-de- velopment as races and nations;
 And that, regarding the component parts of our empire, we should stead fly promote self-goveument and give opportunity for the growth of sense of political responsibility and inde- pendence by immediately beginning to withdraw the iron and unnatural dominance of our western political ideas and allow the development of native forms of rule"
 1 The resolution concludes with 8 protest against the way in which "the council of the League of Ma
