LABOR SHOULD CEASE
 FIGHT ON CAPITALISM
English Labor Leader Suggests New
 Method Be Used

LONDON, March 1o.-"Labor should do itself the justice of ceasing to be negative, i-capitalist thinking only of it's shares writes Ramsay Macdonald. leader of the labor oppo- sition in the House of Commons in the February issue of the Socialist Review. His article is called The Outlook For Trade Unionism."
 Every counsellor who advises labor contrary to the spirit of social cooperation is misleading it." con- tinued Mir. Macdonald "The build ing up of an organization devised eX- clusively to fight capitalism is an error. The fight against capitalism has to be carried on by applying q better spirit than that of capitalism to social and industrial problems and difficulties"
 After stating that political and moral weapons alone can undermine the walls of capitalism. MT. Macdon- aid adds:
 Organized labor. trade union ex- ecutives and parliamentary parties should each in their own way and in respect to their own trades and jobs make Lue conspiracy or capitalism against the community-not always against the labor party-clear. This has to be accomplished by persist ent explanation of the work of capi- talism, its watered stocks, its flota- tion expenses. its useless payments, its methods of keeping up prices, and such like"
 In conclusion. MT. Macdonald says; "Capitalism is decaying, owing to its moral bankruptcy. It is at war with social production. with common we'll being, and with the spiritual love of liberty. If the labor struggle is con- ducted in the same spirit as the capi- talists have shown, and on 8 class basis, the decisive battles will be fought with economic weapons alone and labor will gain no great victory; but as soon as labor frees its mind so as to come under the influence or the spirit of it's historic role to ere ate a social economic organization that will secure liberty and make single minded pursuit of common wealth interests practicable, 1t will equip itself with weapons and hold a position which will make It's final victory certain"
