POLICE o. X. HAMLET

At the height of the New York crusade against
ndecency the stage somebody wrote to the police
commissioner complaining about certain play called
Hamlet" and asking him to look into it. The COM
missioner accordingly passed the order along, and
sergeant detailed to view the play and report.
Shakespeare meant nothing in that policeman's
life. A play play. He went observed the piece
with an open, unspoiled mind, and reported to his
superior, who reported to the commissioner who re-
ported to the public that Hamlet was all right 1t

he admitted and it was true that murder was done,
there didn't to be any ndecency of the sort the
public making fuss about and as for the murder
the people killed really got what coming to them.
All this is reassuring The public may now see
that old-fashloned play even read it, with clear
conscience. But that it is pronounced harmless,
people who ought to read it may not anything

LABOR,S WORLD REMEDIES

It seems to be settled that the Labor Party is 60
ing to govern Great Britain Arrangements are being
made now for the organization of Labor cabinet and
a program of action is being prepared. That pro-
gram of interest everywhere in the world Here are
the main points, as forecast in London dispatch to
the New York World:
Full recognition of Soviet Russia
A world conference to settle reparaton debts;
Great Britan's consent to a world court agree
ment embodying compulsory arbitration;
Support for the admission of Germany and Rus
sia into the League of Nations;
The summoning by Great Britain the United
States of disarmament conference to include air and
land forces.
1t is significant that British labor regards its
greatest problems international. The long unenl-
ployment of British millions owing to the unsette
ment of Europe, has driven that fact home.
1t is bold program, which will doubtless be press
ed vigorously when the time Every part of it
is of Importance to the United States.
Recognition of Soviet Russia is being considered

effect desirable changes in Russian policy. America

nearly all the nations of the world for that purpose

affairs but surely there sound for barring
