DesertiOn Of Miners Charged.
Despite the many powerful ar,pI-
ments made in support of the triple
alliances action, it is only human that
sections of the workers should feel
that the miners were deserted and
their position prejudiced. 80 long as
this opinion exists il is Aoubtful if
the triple alliance can continue except
as mere body without life or pur-
pose. Certain ii is the government
and the employers regard il as a burst
bubble.
In some respects the decision OF the
triple alliance seriously weakened the
miners position. but during the last
few days their daily clear and cogent
statements of their constructive pro-
posals and general disapproval of in
defensible wage reductions have Sc
cured them greater public sympathy
and support. The press. notably the
London Times. has swung around to
recognize the strength of the miners
arguments.

BERLIN. April 2a.-The week has been

exchange of notes between Berlin and Washing

Germans that Americas pointed reply may bring
end to the German tactics of constant mega

stead of positive reparations proposals. The
United States has punctured the weak spot in
the Berlin governments armor and has called
for something definite which she can submit to

SEES THE COLLAPSE
OF TRIPLE ALLIANCE
Arthur Henderson Declares Great Labor
Combination Is Regarded in England
as 'Pricked Bubble"
BY ARTHUR HENDERSON.

BY ARTHUR HENDERSON,
Former Member British War Cabinet.
by Radio to The Star.
LONDON, April 23-The reparations
problem again is reaching one Of
it's periodical crises. If some sort OF
negotiations growing out Of Thurs
days exchange of messages between
the responsible heads of the German
government and Secretary Hughes at
Washington do not effect a radical
change in the situation. France is
counting upon British support and
daily is emphasizing the military
steps which she says must be taken
If Germany proves recalcitrant.
The issue for Great Britain is as
suming grave aspect. for il Pre-
mier Lloyd George really means to
sanction support of the military ad-
vance contemplated by France, it will
merely involve this country in new
embarrassments and responsibilities
without bringing the problem any
nearer a satisfactory solution. In a
display of force to guarantee the Sc
curing of demands, a failure of one
set of sanctions will inevitably call
for a resort to further military OBJ
legations.
Coercive military measures would
be bound to delay Germany's econ
omic recovery whereby her ability to
pay must be governed.
German socialists have accepted
the theory of German liability for
reparations and it is far better that
, the amount and method of payment S
be mutually agreed upon, the dis
puted points being referred to an in
dependent commission of experts.
Passing Of Triple Alliance.
Domestically, the week has been
, marked by the passing from power OF
one of the worlds greatest labor com
binations. A fortnight ago the most
feared organization of workers, ii is
regarded today merely as "a pricked
bubble" The eleventh hour drama
tic decision of the railwaymen and
the transport workers not to strike in
support of the locked-out miners, not
only definitely limited the extent and
gravity of the industrial crisis. but
registered the equally definite col
lapse of the so-called triple alliance.
This combination of industrial work
ers engaged in vital services long
had been regarded as a more or less
resistless trade union machine. 1t rep
resented over two millions of workers
and was considered vested with
unique strategic powers in view of its
undeniable ability to dislocate the
whole of industry within a few hours
of common action.
Fear Of its aggressive power, how
ever. has been steadily on the decline
as result of several strikes involv-
ing one or another Of the constituent
bodies without leading to united ac-
ton. Hitherto the non-resort to COM
mon action had been regarded as due
to the fact that the previous strikes
Of individual sections had not been
in resistance to attacks on wages, but
to obtain wage Improvements.
In the present crisis the striking
miners clearly and admittedly have
been on the defensive. So 1t can be
said that an organization like the

the treaty. NJ. Tardieus book, on the
contrary. is a defense of the treaty
all the way through.
NJ. Tardieu. IN this volume. blows
away commonplace criticisms like so
much chaff. He shows how carefully
the work Of the conference was pre-
pared, how conscientiously the de-
cisiOnS were taken and why the de-
cisions could not have been other
wise. He reinforces his statements g
with many hitherto unpublished docu-
ments. After reading his book one
can hardly avoid the conviction that

how every argument which has been
brought up against the treaty's repa-
ratons settlements was discussed
again and again at the time of the
conference and was finally overruled

Allies Evolved Fourteen Points.
Though the book is intended specifi-
cally for the French public. there are
many observations of interest in it
to Americans. 1t has been commonly y
assumed in the United States and else
where that the fourteen points" were
the unique offspring of President Will
sons somewhat abstract and some
proves by documents that the four
teen points were in reality but a
slight variation of the war aims ex-
pressed repeatedly in the course of the
war by the allies themselves. In par
ticular a note sent by NJ BRAND to
President Wilson in the name of the
allies January 10, 1917. outlining the
allies war aims. foreshadowed al
most phrase for phrase the fourteen
points, even to the declaration Of the
necessity Of forming a league of ma
tions.
NJ. Tardieu concludes that the four
teen points were spontaneous out
growth OF the war itself and that to
make peace on any other basis was
impossible. To the criticism that the
treaty of Versailles violates this basis
NJ. Tardieu opposes a categoric de-
nial, maintaining that what to the
uninitiated appear to be violations
are merely points where one prin-
ciple came in conflict with another
equally imperious and where the
transaction was inevitable.

The legend that peace was made in
dictatorial secrecy by three men alone

so many technicians.
