proval Of every imperialist organ
in the country while his Wilsonian
phrases have tickled the palateS Of
social democracy and liberalism as
nothing else has done since Wilson
announced his fourteen points. Back
to wisconsin" is the slogan under
which the new armament race is to
be conducted.
Out-jingoing the Jingoes.
There appears to be no depths to
which the Second International
leaders will not sink to serve their
masters. Having repudjated their
own international, not only severing
their connection with it as leaders,
but also severing themselves from
its declarations and insisting upon
nationalistic policy governed by
the Interests Of the Empire, they
are doing their level best in every
department Of activity to prove
themselves better imperialists than
the advocates Of imperialism.
The reduction in the Iraq esti-
mates is explained by Winston
Churchill, whose policy they are
pursuing. Attacked in the West
minister by-election he retorts:
IF the policy / adopted in Mes
opotania is wrong why is the
present government carrying it
out? When for the first time 1
had any responsibility for Mes
opotania, at the beginning of 1921
the expense was nearly $4,000
600 per year. / Immediately
formed a native state and set up
a home rule government under an
Arab king. withdrew practically
the whole army and reduced the
expense within a year to less
than seven millions and prescribed
a policy which would reduce it to
about three millions. This policy
has been pursued ever since by
three separate enthusiastically.
Bonar Law, Mr.. Baldwin and Mr..
Macdonald"
The reason Of British connection
with Mesoposamia is well known. 1t
forms one of the chain of countries
on the all red route of empire from
Cape Town to Calcutta which Mac
Donald is as keen on preserving as
is Mr.. Winston Churchill. The only
difference, of course, is in the tune
which the respective conquerers rem
! der to the listening world. One
sings the song Of education for the
native with good dividends for Brit
ish Industrialists, and work for the
workers, and the other sings the
song of Imperial expansion. The
difference lies in the degree of hy-
pocrisy only.
'By Their Deeds, ETC."
Forgetting the songs for the
moment and getting back to their
deeds we have now got the key to
the increase Of the air forces, the
reductions in the estimates for Mes
opotamia, the maneuvers with
America, the sparring with Poin-
care. But what Of the annoyance
of Mussolini? 1t needs more than
the cruiser replacement program to
annoy him to the extent of joining
with Spain in navy campaign, and
offering terms to. France for a Latin
combination in tho Mediterranean
Sea, and to proceed with a big navy
program. This will be found in a
further part Of the Continuity pol
icy" of Macdonald.
Before the war of 1914 and the
development of the German navy
scare Britain's strongest fleet was
stationed IN the Mediterranean as
| the great highway of the Empire.

EDITORS NOTE:-Today we
publish another article by j. t.
Murphy, the British Communist
and trade unionist, telling of the
conditions confronting the work.
ing class in the British Isles. This
article will be followed by another
tomorrow.
A FEW weeks ago, ventured to
\ write, "Ihe traditional policy
Of Britain is taking its own inevi-
table course whether under the garb
Of pacitism or war. She must COM
bine against the dominant power in
Europe, whoever it may be-" France
dominates the situation and Mac
Donald perforce must aim to bring
her to heel. Within a single week
three important steps have been
taken in this direction. The reduc-
ton of the reparations tax from &c
per cent to 5 per cent mas been con-
frmed. a further letter has been
exchanged with Poincare. The air
estimates have been increased.
The first item can be counted one
up for Germany and British trade.
It met with slight opposition. Lloyd
George divided himself from the
Liberals against it, indicating by
the way that the united household
Of liberalism is not SO happy as it
might be. But his opposition was
only a question as to the value Of
this concession to Germany as a
bargaining weapon. The rest was
the opposition Of Toryism to what
might be deemed the abolition of a
little tariff reform.
Macdonald Aping Wilson.
But the letter to Poincare gets
us on to another plane. This is
MacDonald's first big effort 70 step
into the arena ce European politics
as the re-i1carnation of Wilson.
Wilson fell before Clemenceau and
Lloyd George thru making conces-
sions in order to preserve a dream.
Not only were his concessions ac-
cepted but his schemes were seized
by others rs the means to outwit
him and the forces he Represented.
His League of Nations scheme was
taken out Of his grasp and made
the instrument of the Allied SUI
preme Council which left Wilson out
in the cold. From that day forward
there has been a constant struggle
within the League for the domina-
ton of its policy. MacDonald's en-
7hasis on the League is as much a
part Of the rivalry between France
and Britain as it was when Lloyd
George sounded q similar note. Mac
Donald wants Germany in the
League because it is perfectly clear
that any rehabilitation OF Germany
is going 10 give Britain a fairly
good grip upon the actions Of Ger
many. His plea for international
control of occupied areas is directed
towards limiting the military power
Of France. His concession which
alters the British governments at
situde to the relation of debts and
PREPARATIONS from that as defined in
The Balfour letter, is no concession
in policy but only an indication of
change of circumstance which he
aims to use in a dual direction. First
TO get as much as possible out of
reparations and second, to draw
America into joint action with Brit
ain with a view to modifying the
debt relationhips.

I'm very much interested in what
you say about Ruth Ellington mar
rying Walter Burke. l rather think
she's going to be very happy. She's
had one very disastrous experience,
and that will give rather a practical
turn TO her ideals OF men and mar
riage. She never will expect as
much again.
Do you know, Jack, If I ever mar
ry, | think III marry a widow. 1t
has been said that women like men
with past because. they want men
with experience for husbands; for
that same reason l think l would
like a widow for a wife. She would
be used to mems little selfishnesses
and idiosyncracies.
I remember once a Presbyterian
minister telling me in great triumph
that he had taught his wife all the
passion she ever knew. He had the
look Of the cat who has eaten the
canary, but all l could think Of was
the poor canary.
Just why you don't like Ruth
Burke l never could understand. Is
1t because she has always proved
herself so efficient, as well as such
good friend to Leslie-or were you
afraid she would tell Leslie some Of
| mems frailties as she knew them?

bachelor, never knew a woman could
squander so much money on her

only she and her own sex usually

The wife and sister-in-law, very
much in love with her husband,
says: II do not blame my husband
for giving them money. 1t is them

What is she to do? Just one
thing-to instill into them a new
kind of pride" a pride that will
not let them be parasites. She can
do this only by forcing them to sup
port themselves.
To do this will result in inev-
liable quarrels. She will be accused
of being ''hard-hearetd" and 'cruel. "
Better to be thought hard-hearted
and cruel by couple Of parasites
than to be blamed by her children
in the future for failing to fight for
their right.

and tell him that he has never helped and
tell him their difficulties all the time.
/ would not mind him giving his par
ents his money but he has two sisters
that are Just as able to work out as am.
and l don't see why they expect my hus-
band to help them when he has me. They
claim that these girls are not able to
work, and after being around the house
for while I soon found out that it is
put on.
We have moved from there now. but I
am sure they still are expecting him to
help. They think that they cannot fail
in some of their ideals.
l have had a talk with the parents. but
they tried to influence me that he should
help them.
l love my husband dearly and he loves

How much spunk have you and
your husband? Enough to go to
these sisters and say:
I'VE have supported you long
enough. You are as we'll able to
work as I am. We are willing to do
our share toward helping our par
ents, but we are not willing 30 do
the work of two able-bodied girls.
You tell US you want to help US,
then put obstacles in our way. You
say you can get along without our
money, but make no effort to do so.
1--WE acknowledge our duty to our
parents, and are willing and glad to
meet 1t. But we also have a duty
to the children who will come to us
in future years. 1t is our duty to
prepare home for them. We intend
to meet this duty, and so 1t will be
necessary for you to find means Of
supporting yourselves"
Will you say that? It VIII be hard.
The sisters will be very much hurt
and will blame you, Of course. But
it's the only way. You must tear
them loose now. before the children
come to complicate matters. Luck
be with you and be diplomatic.
