Current EUents
For the Schools
By CHARLES P. STEWART

Labor's plan to abolish capitalism
in Great Britain needn't be taken
very seriously just yet.
It's true that Labor's the second
party in numerical strength in par
Lament, but that doesn't mean, in
case the Conservatives should go out
of power, that the Laborites would
come into stay. Ramsay MacDon-
aid, it's fact, undoubtedly would be
appointed premier in such an event,
but it's a foregone conclusion that
the Conservatives and Liberals would
combine against him Immediately, so
that the majority would be against
him, and he'd have to resign, under
the British governmental system, at
once.
Then it's possible that the pre-
miership would be offered to David
Lloyd George, the Liberal leader,
who was premier before, or perhaps
there'd be national election with
out any further experimenting.
Anyway, an elections what things
would come to pretty soon, because
that's what always happens in Eng
land. where administrations don't
last for any definite term, except
that there's a maximum of seven
years fixed, whenever there's any
doubt which party in parliament has
most votes.
And an election would be sure to
mean a victory by the moderates
over the radicals, of whom the lat
ter make UP the group behind the
anti-capitalism proposals of Philip
Snowden, who, even among radicals,
is considered pretty pronounced in
his views.

WALL
RELIEF SEEN
Bids to be Advertised for I'M
provementS at South Am
boy Cut

NEW BRUNSWICK, March "a
Plans for the immediate improve
ment of the Hole-in-t -the-Wall, be-
tween Mechanicsville and South AM
boy were carried to completion by
the Board of Freeholders yesterday,
following years of delay and elec-
ton promises.
Prompt action in eliminating the
unsafe conditions at that point have
been promised to the residents OF
that section for years, though the
promises made just before election
time were never carried out. From
the action taken yesterday, however,
there can be no doubt but that the
removal of the nuisance is to be-
come a reality.
Director William S. Dey introduc-
ed the resolution approving the con-
tract between the county and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
which provides for the work to pe
done through contracts to be let
by the railroad company. Bids for
the work are to be asked for at once
and every effort made to get the
work under way at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Not only will the Hole be rebuilt,
but the road leading through it is
to be paved with reinforced con-
crete. This road, something less
than a mile in length, will connect
Stevens avenue with the approach
to be built by the state to the new
bridge between the Amboys.
A large delegation of residents
from that vicinity appeared before
the board yesterday to combat o.
tn
raised against the carrying through
of the project This course was
taken to prevent a further hold up,
following the reported activities of
railroad employees circulating petit
tons asking for the closing of the
Hole and the erection of an over
head bridge in its place.
No objections were made to the
improvement, however, and Director
Dey assured the delegation which
was led by George Delaney of Stew
ems avenue, South Amboy, that it
was his intention to have the resolu-
ton approving the work adopted
without delay.
The original petition submitted
about a year ago asking for the re-
building of the road, specified war
renite as the favored pavement but
Mr.. Dey informed the delegation
that concrete would be used instead
as the freeholder will lay no patent
pavements this year.
Numerous conferences between
County Solicitor Frederick I. Rich
ardson and the railroad company
have been held during the past few
months in an effort to determine the
liability of the contracting parties
for damages done to property in that
vicinity. Very broad guarantees were
demanded by the railroad company
in this respect, to which Mr.. Rich
ardson objected, but the settlement
of the legal difficulties opened the
way to the completion of the project.
Under the plans approved and
adopted a twenty foot roadway is to
be laid, a sidewalk is to be construct
ed and suitable drainage is to be pro-
vided SO as to prevent the future
flooding of the "hole." With these
completed the great
danger that has existed at that point
will have been removed and another
safe highway will be made available
to care for the heavy shore traffic.

The British Conservatives and
Liberals are conservative and liberal
respectively in about the same sense
that Republicans are republican and
Democrats are democratic in the
United States.
That is to say, they have their
political contests between themselves
and sometimes get pretty sore over
them, but each would rather see the
other in office than have a third
party break in. Before they'd per-
init such a thing to happen there's
no doubt they'd unite, and together
they'd have a large majority over
the Labor vote.
Just to illustrate that they're not
1rreconcilably far apart, Andrew
Bonar Law, now the Conservative
leader and premier, didn't object to
holding office for several years in
the cabinet of David Lloyd George,
who is head of the Liberal minority
IN parliament now. Mr. Lloyd
George, on the other hand, though
pretty advanced in some of the
views he expressed in his younger
days, has so far toned down his
ideas with years that the Conserva-
tives seriously considered for awhile
the plan of conscripting him to lead
themselves-and almost certainly
would, If he'd given the word, which
he didn't do, not because he wasn't
conservative enough, but because he
had other political ambitions of his
own.

Radical. But Won't Pass

This isn't to say that Labor, as a
whole, isn't more radical in Great
Britain than it is in the United
States. It's considerably more 50,
But the time hasn't come for Eng
land to be bolsheyized. The Labor
ties are in favor or a levy on cap
ltal sufficient to relieve England of
he1 pressing postwar financial en-
barrassments and this proposition
has some support outide the party.
II times stay hard as they are now
it's conceivable that such a policy
might win the Endorsement of ma
jority of the voters. 1t would
amount to some system of taxation
designed to bear especially upon ac-
cumulated wealth, but there's 40
chance that it would take it all.
For even SO drastic a program the
time isn't ripe yet. The last cleo
ton showed it.
Snowden's proposals are revoIu-
tionary, all right, but they won't
be adopted. That's certain.
It's as if Meyer London, the So
cialist member of the House of
Representatives, had proposed, ut
the last session of congress TO
socialize the United States. 1t would
have been a radical suggestion, but
nobody would have paid much at
tention to it, because everybody'd
have known that it wouldn't pass.
Britain's Fear of France
The British ernment, accor l.
ing to all accounts, is growing
more and more disturbed at the ev-
ident progress of negotiations be-
tween Paris and Berlin looking TO-
ward a settlement of the Ruhr trod
bles directly between France ard
Germany, without giving England
any voice in the matter.
1t just goes to show that the
English are convinced France
means, if she can, to increase her
power on the European continent
to a point where she's stronger
than England wants ner to be.
British commercial interests,
cables say, are bringing pressure
to bear on Premier Bonar Law 20
abandon his policy of standofish-
ness, so far as the Ruhr is con-
cerned, and tell the French just
where the line is beyond which
Great Britain will consider it un
in her to go,

or social event in acknowledgement
of what they have accomplished, and
leading men Of Bingham county
well consider what our county board
have been doing in matters relative
to the Yellowstone highway that are
not costing the people of this county
much money.
In past years a great deal was
said about getting state and federal
money to go with our own for road
work, and about getting it to fur
nish employment in the dull times
that were expected after the war.
There have been periods when it
looked as if our plans had all gone
awry, and none but our own money
had been used for such purposes.
For the past year it has been looking
different, and we are now realizing
the fruition of the hopes expressed
during the boom times.
The credit for much of this later
achievement is due to members of
the county government who have
gone out of their, way to find ways
to accomplish what had been given
up as impossible, and we commend
this subject to the Thoughtful con-
sideration of the men and clubs of
the county who want to give credit
where credit is due.

him come home whenever he is
ready, and be, met at Ellis Island
by representatives of the Depart
ment of Justice. We want them to
show him the key to the cell he va
Gated in Leavenworth when he was
released, and make it known to him
that he has about eighteen years to
serve there to square old accounts
with his country. Then we want
him to say that he is a prodigal son,
and that whatever years he has left
of life he wants to go about doing
good. We want him to say that if
they will extend his parole one day
he will wish to make three speeches
to laboring men to advise them just
the opposite of what he was advis-
ing them before; that if they will
extend his parole one week he will
wish to make eighteen speeches to
laboring men to advise them of the
wrongs he taught them before, and
that if they will keep two or three
officers on duty to go with him, and
allow the representatives of the as
ISOLATED press to go along and report
his speeches he will to what he can
to make amends for the past; that
if they will extend his parole as
long as he continues to preach 10y
atty and good faith and honest work
for honest pay he will continue his
task and put all his great energy
into it trying sincerely to undo the
mistakes of the past. We want him
to say that he has come to under
stand that capital and labor ought
to be equal partners, and that the
practice of sabotage = hindering
productions wrong to the labor
ing man as we'll as to the capitalist
and that it hurts them both. We
want him to say that he has made
the mistake of preaching i'll will
when he ought to have been teach
ing good will That every man
ought to have the privilege of join
ing union or not, and of working
without paying any attention or dues
to q union; that strikes are as wrong
as war and that both ought to be
outlawed that dynamite was made
to break rock and not to break mems
bones and women's hearts. We
would wish him to say these and a
thousand other things at Ellis Is
land, and arrange to spend the rest
of his life telling them to others
wherever they would listen to him.
We believe that American people
would rather support him and his
guards in comfort while he followed
this work than to have him in prison
and his dupes still entertaining the
notion that he was right or partly
right.
