"In the past the Labor Party has been mainly trade union party. Now it cannot be SO described" This sen tence from the cable of the friendly and unusually well informed corres- pondent of The New York World presents a view that has become very widespread since the British cleo t1ons.
 The Labor Party in the Parliament that was dissolved in November, 1922, consisted of 68 labor unionists and five non-labor unio9nists, or intellec- tuals." The newly elected Labor Party M. P.'s consist of 100 labor unionists and Al "intellectuals." While the labor unionists have increased so per cent, the "intellectuals" have in creased 900 per cent, and have risen from one-ffteenth to one-third of the party.
 The chairman of the Labor Party executive is Sidney Webb, it's vice chairman, J. R. Macdonald. The lat ter has also been elected chairman and Header" by the Labor Party group in parliament, and Josiah Wedgewood has been made it's vice chairman Ali three are "intellectu- a1s"
 The former chairman of the Labor Party in parliament, the labor union ist J. R. Clynes, received 57 votes to- wards reelection. J. R. MacDonald got 61 votes and was elected. His election was admitted to have been due largely to meeting publicly held by the radical socialist wing of the Labor Party, which is separately ) organized under the, name, 1ndepen- I dent Labor Party-briehy known as | Il, of obtained by Macdonald corresponds | almost exactly to the number of I. L. i P. members of parliament, which ac- 1 cording to their paper, the New Leader, is some 6o-odd-of whom s or 36 are "intel1ectua1s" Clyne's sup port was almost wholly labor union. He was nominated by J. H. Thomas. and Poulton, former chairman of the Trades Union Congress, openly eS- pressed disappointment at his defeat He was clearly beaten either by the lack of organization or by the absten- ton of labor unionists who are not members of the I. L. F., as such unionists are a clear majority of the Labor Party.
 Which Is Which? Important Cues
 tions.
 But what of it? Are not these Gin te1lectuals" in the Labor Party with the consent of the labor unionists, as adding an element of strength to the party? Do they not enj joy the conf, dence of the party? Undoubtedly they | do, and the British unionists are the best judges of the tactics that are | wisest for their country. But it stll remains a matter of vital interest fol I labor unionists everywhere to know whether it is a labor union party or { party of which the labor unions are ( l part.

Would Force Vote
 On Senate Changes

Washington, Jan. 5.-Senator Jones has introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of senators to make a study of sen ate rules with a view of recommend ing such changes as will "enable a majority to bring a question to vote for final action, and at the same time afford reasonable protection to the minority"
 Behind this resolution is an attempt to smash the ship subsidy hlibuster and bring that question to a vote. Opponents of the subsidy bill fear it will pass if 1t comes to a vote and are giving thorough discussion to every question before the senate.
 Every hour of these discussions brings the senate sessions nearer to the fateful fourth of March, when ished business dies with it. Senator Jones, who has the subsidy bill in charge, nervously listens to these de bates, while his opponents swear by the beard of the prophet and sundry other oaths that they have not the slightest idea of flibustering against his bill The Washington senator as sures his opponents he never. dreamed they would attempt such a thing.
 The clock travels toward the fourth of March, and the big appropriation bills must be discussed and voted on And then, before the subsidy bill comes to a vote, it will be discussed at length, as will international politics and other issues.
 All of which justify Senator Jones' nervousness. He again assures his opponents he believes them when they say they are not flibustering, but he wants committee appointed to work out "gag' law that will, at the same time, protect CD their rights.

|Intellectuals" and Labor Unionists in
 the British Labor Party

union party. On the contrary 1t points to the fact that a large part of its candidates are not labor unionists and that it's support includes "bishops, professors, authors and sportsmen," including such men as Bishop Gore, Prof. Soddy, Havelock Ellis, Jimmy Wilde ,the boxer, and the billiard champion, Willie Smith" Among it's defeated parliamentary candidates were H. c. Wells and Bertrand Rus sell The Labor Party press even speaks of "a Labor Earl" Lord Kim berly, and Viscount Haldane, Earl Russell, Lord Parmoor, Lord Acton and several others are more than friendly in the House of Lords.
 All this demonstrates political suc- cess-though it indicates a consider able movement away from straight labor union political party. Of the Al "intellectuals" among the Labor Party M P.'s, eight are employers, and five others are gentlemen '-or, as they prefer to put it, 'rentiers,' that is, persons living from rents and profits. Three are prosperous law yers, 10 are journalists, etc.
 If one or two more elections show ed the same tendencies, the Labor Party group in parliament would soon come to have a minority of labor union M. P.'s and might prove very unreliable support for the economic action of the labor unions. Even now some of the "intellectuals," though ad- vanced socialists as to political ac- tion ,are the reverse of radical when it comes to labor union action.
 Influence Foreign, but Not Domestic Policy.
 But the immediate danger is exact 1 ly the reverse. Because of the spe- cial privileges long offered by the La 1 bor Party to members of socialist or ganizations-priv still continued in milder form today-35 or 36 oi the A ''intellectual' M. P's are mem ! bers of the l. L. B., while severa. others are connected with other SOC ialist organizations and one, the East Indian, Saklatvala, is communist

Congressman King of illinois
Declares World Court Is
Ally of Plan.

The Middle West is staunchly OPP
posed to American entrance to the
League of Nations court, Congress
man Edward J. King Rep.l of
Illinois, said today in a prepared
statement.
Mississippi valley folks have set
tied their attitude toward foreign
nations" he said. They do not want
to interfere with foreigners and they
holly resent any attempt by for
eigners to interfere with us.
AS a possible example Of what
might happen, Kings statement
continued:
IF the world court judges should
enter an order whereby property in
one country would be taken for pay
ment of debts, execution would issue
from the court. Judges could not
execute the order; this would have
to be done by sheriffs and bailiffs
of the court. If they failed the army
of the League of Nations would have
to be used.
"A world court would be con-
venient arrangement for interna-
tional bankers to collect their debts.
But it would not be agreeable to the
common people who would be ex-
pected to supply the force necessary
to make effective the DEGREES and

From January, 1915, to January

month with the exception of July;
many crops failed to mature at all,
and those which did produced less
than one-fourth of the usual yield.
Farmers harvested what little

REALTORS PUSH.
! FOR TRADE
ETHICS
Brokers Take Pledge Not to
Function as Agent and oper-

separation of the real estate agent
from the man in a general real
estate business, buying and selling
/ for his own account, is made an
. absolute admission requirement by
the Brokers Division of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards.
In the requirement the division
takes a definite attitude toward
the business ethics of situation
common throughout real estate
practice in which men regularly
engaged in business as real estate
brokers also buy and sell real
estate as operators.
Defining the line of separation
which will insure ethical dealing
in the situation the pledge as en-
bodied in the bylaws Of the Ciyi-
applying for division membership,

estate for his, own account, directly
or indirectly, will not assume to
act as broker in the transaction.
Questions of ethics as they come
up in real estate brokerage and the
relation Of brokers and operators
will be topics which the brokers
division will have before it at the
annual convention of the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards
at Cleveland, June 27-30. The rela-

HOMES BOOM IS
EORESEENBY
BABSON
Expects Movement to Country
Will Ease Decline of Build
ing Demand.

That the suburban movement dur
ing the next ten years viii be
most spectacular is the prediction
advanced by the Babson statistical
organization in a letter to the Ma
ton Association Of Real Estate
Boards.
1--WE feel suburban development
is really the back log on which the
building and real estate industries
will have to depend when the pres
ent boom in other building comes
to a close" Melvin L. Morse, of
the Babson organization, said.
There is no question that the
amount of new building is abnor-
NAL and that reaction must come,
Babson's hold in explanation of
this prediction. But instead of a
precipitate drop, it is believed the
decline in new building is more
likely to take the form of a series
of steps. The demand for new
buildings at the present level of
costs, they hold, is nearly filled,
but when4 costs are reduced another
lot of contracts will be forthcom.
ing. These will check the decline.
The potential demand for sub
urban construction, particularly resi-.
Dental construction, will be mat
ter of years, the statistical studies
of the building situation nationally
show. The suburban movement in
itself will not be sufficient to hold
building prices at high levels, but
it should cushion the probable de-
cline, and insure a fair amount of
construction for a long time to
come.

REAL TORS SEEK
INCOME TAX
RULING
Urge Deductions From income
of Accumulated Burden
on Vacant Lots.

Appeal of the National Associa.
ton Of Real Estate Boards for re-
vision of the ruling Of the Internal
Revenue Bureau on income tax de-
auctions in the case of vacant lands
has been taken under consideration
by the Treasury Department.
Taxes and interest charges are in
voIved estimated to amount to
$4S, 500, 900 in New York city aloAe,
and to proportionate amounts in
cities all over the country where
tracts have lain idle during the
recent period Of business depression.
Only the current years taxes on
vacant lands, including the carrying
charges, may be deducted in deter
mining the capital net gains derived
from their sale, the bureau held in
the ruling against which the asso-
citation is protesting. Contention of
the association, presented by Will
liam e. Ferguson, chairman Of its
legislative committee, is that taxes
for the years since the income tax
law began to operate should be
deductible.
In the case of lands lying idle no
deduction Of the piling interest
charges and taxes was possible,
since there was no income, it is
explained. The bureau ruling al.
lowed interest for the whole period,
but tax exemptions only for the
year of the sale.
Tax officials are just now, in
their checking, reaching returns
where profits begin to be reported
in sales made OF the tracts held
frozen during the poor movement in
real estate from 1907 or 1913 to
