The March of EUents

1t is easy to see why the French
Chamber has been in a rage this
week and why the Paris press has
been in fury. Premier BRAND has
refused to confer with Lloyd George
until the French Parliament has
voted confidence" in BRAND, mean
ing pledged its support. Neverthe-
less, Lloyd George will have his way.
The Poles-who, of course, have
acted and will act only upon secret
French orders-will withdraw from
German Silesia, Premier BRAND will
have a vote of confidence good for a
week at least, and French militarism
will go back and sit down for a
time.
But in the conceivable, though not
probable, case that the French lose
their heads entirely, and set out on
career of conquest by themselves,
there will surely be war again, and
that war will again change the map
and alter the destinies of Europe.
What concealed ground LLOYD
George had for his confident asser-
ton of American agreement with
England and Italy no one knows out
side of Downing Street and the
White House.
The assertion may have been
merely bluff, or an easily disavowed
effort to entangle our State Depart
ment, or simply the wish fathering
the thought. Nothing is impossible
to Lloyd Georges fertile magma
ton.
Nevertheless, we Americans have
the right to know from the State
Department just how much justifi-
cation the British Premier had for
statement which all Europe will
accept as an official announcement
of an entente between Great Britain,
Italy and the United States
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-05-26
LLOYD GEORGES second speech
on the Polish question is far
moro eiopif;oopt %hon Tho frof .

on the Polish question is far
more significant than the first.
The British Premier serves notice
on France that her militarist policies
have been carried too far, and that
if she persists in them she will find
herself out of the Entente and op-
posed by England and Italy and
possibly America.
If France should undertake the in
vasion of Germany with French
armies, supported by Polish troops
invading eastern Germany, the Ger
mans would surely resist if certain
of the sympathetic neutrality of
England and Italy. Germany could
also confidently reckon upon a Rus
sian advance into Poland, because
the only people the Russians now
hate worse than they do the French
are the Poles.
Allied with Russia, and with Eng
lish and Italian sources of supplies
open to her, Germany would prob
ably defeat French and Polish
invasion.
1t is not likely that French mill
tarism will risk such dangers.
BY helping to produce just such
conditions as these England has
long been the arbiter of the Euro
pean continent. Her statecraft has
always been supremely successful.
Lloyd George knows well that the
destruction of Germany's military
and naval strength has made Eng
land the absolute mistress of Euro
pean politics, and he has decided
to let France know that she can
only go as far as England is content
to let her go, and no farther.

British Labor System
Not Applicable to u. S.

gram, and their conclusions are in
teresting.
First they declare that the Eng
fish plan is built upon the principle
of two opposing interests, Capital
and Labor, organized separately,
while the joint conference plan
starts with the assumption of
unity CT interests and cooperation
on the part of all concerned. One
is European, the other is American.
The English plan presupposes
condition in which all labor is union
lied, or nearly so, such as prevails
in England. In America, however,
only minority Of the workers are
unionized, and for the companies to
force non-u union men into the unions
would be distinctly un-American.
In England the country is COM
pact and the population homogene-
GUS, while in America the country
is large and the population diversi-
fed. The same industrial conditions
do not hold all over this country,
and working conditions can far bet
ter be settled in joint conference in
each locality and plant than by any
plan which seeks to apply the same
rigid conditions to all parts of the
country.
Most important of all objections,
however, is that the English plan
may be adapted to English condi-
lions where the status of the work
ingman is comparatively fixed, but
the joint conference is far better
adapted to America, where the most
characteristic feature of the work
ingman's lot is that il is not fixed,
but unlimited advancement is open
to him in accordance with his
ability.
The English plan looks for peace
by Theoretically sealing the classes.
The American plan recognizes that
no program can be satisfactory to
our workmen which does not open
all the doors for every individual.
In free and democratic country
no solution of the labor question
which is based upon the class idea
can ever be satisfactory. That is
why Socialism and labor parties in
politics never get anywhere in
America.

~ HE so-called Whitley or ma
tional industrial council plan,
which is used in England, has
been recommended by many writers
and students for use in America.
They claim that this plan points the
way to industrial peace.
In brief, the plan IS that of
national industrial council composed
of representatives of organized la
Dor, on the one hand, and repre-
sentatives of organized capital on
the other, under the sanction and
direction Of the Government of the
United States.
This plan may do very well for
England, but there is reason why
it Is not at all adapted to American
industrial conditions. That reason
is that it is based upon the per-
manency of the class idea
This is entirely acceptable to the
English mind. The feeling of class
has been inbred into English people
for many hundreds of years. Caste
is in their instincts and colors their
entire point of view. Gladstone said
that England was a careful grada-
ton Of castles.
The whole trouble with very
many thinkers about the industrial
question is that they start with a
vicious assumption that class is
necessary and unavoidable. They
refuse to see the industrial problem
in any other light than as a con-
fict between classes. They are not
to blame for this, for the class idea
has dominated Europe and all East
ern civilization for many centuries.
It cannot be expected that a de-
fusion so integral can be got rid of
in a hurry.
1t is, however, this same error
that is the source of all friction
and violence in industrial progress.
A committee of ten of the most
powerful companies in the United
States, including the Standard Oil
Company, has been for three years
trying to find feasible plan for
industrial peace. They have care.
