Socialism" or the Cooperative Com nonwealth. The central aim of the party was only slightly altered in the election manifesto-though the word socialism. as in the last election. is carefully avoided.
 2. Public Ownership and Control of the Mines, the Railway Service and the Electrical Power Stations" This l would be large installment of state l socialism-though it falls short of the public ownership of the means the party unanimously voted for in Parliament
 3. "The Program of National 1 Work" including nationa lsystem of electrical power ,the development of transport by road, rail and canal, land drainage, reclamation, afforesta- ton, town planning, housing schemes. | The Liberals are unanimously in favor of these schemes, except in so 1 far as they involve standardization. It is estimated that without nation alization, they might take care of more than third of the I.5oo,ooo un- employed.
 But Socialism and public owner ship have been voted down, while the program of national work will al-
 
 into effect. The only uncertainty arises from the Socialist-Laborites | foreign program.
 Macdonald for a Balance of Power Policy vs. the League of Nations. phe Laborite-Socialists are aiming at scrapping the Treaty of Versailles. l They are seeking way to revise the treaty in favor of Germany without the consent of France. Their plat form summons the British govern ment to call an International Con- ference, including Germany on terms of equality, to deal with the Revision of the Versailles Treaty" The par 1 tvs speakers, and many of the Liber- als also, do not hide the fact that what they propose is, if the French refuse, to act without Franhce!
 The party leader, J. R. Macdonald, treaty, exactly the opposite of the American Federation of Labor, say ing that America had the very best of reasons for declining to enter the league" and he now proposes to America not to enter the league, but to enter conference directed against our recent comrades in arms and in favor of our recent enemy! And for what? To preserve Great Britain's traditional policy of ruling Europe by leaning. first to one side (France against Germany) and then to the other (Germany against France), keeping these two nations apart and at one another's throats, and so maintaining a balance of power. .
 Macdonald frankly declares: "We shall continue to be interested in a balnace of power policy" It was precisely against the organization of the world on the war-provoking "balance of power policy" that the League of Nations was organized. To wonder Macdonald is glad American Labor did not succeed in getting America in Especially Macdonald and the Socialist-Laborites are down on the league as at present organ ized and until the Soviets and un- repentant Germany are in-for then the "balance of power policy" might be pursued successfully inside the league!
 But the Socialist-Laborites will not succeed in destroying the League of Nations either from without or within-even if they become, for a | moment, the Government of England, or part thereof. One reason is-I that, America-and American Labor are still to be reckoned with.

BRITAIN VOTED AGAINST PROGRAM
 OF LABOR-AND- SOCIALIST PARTY, SAYS
 MAILING IN REVIEWING ELEC CTION RESULT
By WILLIAM ENG LISH MAILING.

The British elections are over. But what is the result? Neither of the three parties, Conservative, Liberal, or Iabor-Socialist has maj ority. So that all platform blanks that were espoused by one party exclusively are defeated and only those blanks favor ed by two of the three parties have won. The Conservatives and Social istLaborites agree about nothing. But the Liberals-who got 2oH per cent. of the votes cast-and the Soc st-Laborites-Who got 3IH per cent. e per cent. more than last year, not much of gain)-agree on sev- eral important blanks. The following blanks, in this way, have won the sup port of GO per cent. of the elector- ate:
 I. Anti-protection.
 2. Public Works as a Remedy for Unemployment.
 3. Full relations with the Soviets. But the Liberals and Conservatives represent still larger proportion of the electorate-68H per cent They are united against
 I. The capita llevy.
 2. The public ownership of mines, railways, and electric power. 5. The cooperative commonwealth Tor Socialism.
 This is what the election decided provided some majority coalitoin government can be arranged to carry out those of the above policies which require action. No action is needed* against Protection or Social ism. They are non-existent now and will remain dead. But action is re- quired for a public works program or a pro-Soviet policy-and both re- quire a Liberal-Socialist Coalition. It remains to be seen whether the en- tire Liberal Party can be swung for either-or both-of these policies. One-third of the Liberals hold the whip-hand. For by going over to the Conservatives on any vote, they could destroy such a coalition.
 What the Socialist-and-Labor
 Party Stood For.
 The Labor -and-Socialist platform has three important domestic blanks:

WORLD COURT
 CANNOT BE SUBSTI- TUTE OR SUBTERFUGE
By WILLIAM ENGLISH MAILING.

The Presidents message of Decem- Der 7th brings the world court into the foreground, so that organized la bor's position should be stated in a general way-although the Federation conventions have not considered the subject specifically. In so far as a world court is proposed which is a part of the League of Nations-or CO., operates with it-labor, of course, en- dorses the proposal. Similarly if the world court proposed is to function in any important degree as a substi- tute or a rival for the league, or for any part of it, labor is opposed. If the world court favored by congress falls into neither of these classes we are still not without guidance as to organized labor's attitude. For it's philosophy as to courts generally worked out in so years of active strug- gle and experience-applles in large measure to world court.
 Labor agrees that courts have in valuable and indispensable functions, provided they do not infringe upon legislation or upon the constitution. Applied internationally this principle means that organized labor would op- pose any world court that infringed upon the League of Nations Council
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-12-29

and Assembly Or upon the articles of the Covenant. What, then, could a world court do? it would interpret international law as 1t existed pre- viously to the covenant, and above all it could interpret treaties, whether involving all nations or two or more nations, all of which, according to the covenant, are now registered un- der the covenant, and subject to dis cussion by the Assembly and Council. These functions are necessary and important under the league. With out the league they are either super ogatory, since the powerful nations would then pay little attention to court decisions in crucial cases, or dangerous to national sovereignty, if the world court came to have great uthority-while operating irrespon- sibly, without the control either of constitution or of a representative body.
 In word, the exaggerated i'm portance widely attached to the world court appears like an effort on the part of the knowing to draw a red herring across the path of the na- tions struggling towards better or ganization.
 Doubtless it has attracted many honest souls, but-for the reasons stated-it has little following in the labor movement.

THE Impossible Mrs. Bellew" was
adapted by Percy Heath from a novel
by David Lisle. 1t tells of what hap

scrupulous lawyer in order to save
her worthless husband from convic-
tion of a charge of murder. Becoming
a social pariah as 1.-THE Impossible

from America to Europe, where the
story runs through gamut of inter-

promises to give her the happiness OF
which she has been deprived.
Director Sam Wood assembled a
capable cast for the support of Miss
Swanson. Robert Cain is the hus-
band who causes all the trouble, while
Conrad Nagel playes opposite the star
