alive Saturday afternoon following an

-s.dsician is making a hard fight for

purpose of Premics Poin-

irrevocable purpose of Premies Poin-
care.
Meanwhile, American and British
credit in rehabilitating Francs has re-
habilitated NJ. Poincare, whose trium-
plant return now is expected. His at
titude remains implicable AMI opinion
gains ground here that Prime Minis
ter McDonald's attempt to win France
to a more reasonable course by kind
words and gentle suasion will be I'M
productive of results and that NJ. Poin-
case will add another British prime
minister's scalp to those already adOrn-
ing his belt.
Little Hope I'm Experts.
The experts reports are expected i'm
mediately, but there are no great
hopes that they will provide a solu-
ton of an insoluble riddle. There is
much discussion of the question of
complying with the French demand for
British military security, but there is
powerful hostility to the idea of Eng
land backing any continental militaris-
tic bills again.
The only security that will COM
mand support of liberal and labor
opinion is, general security and peace
Of Europe under guarantees of the
League of Nations. But NJ. Poincare
does not accept the idea of organized
peace and regards the league as a
pretty toy for the service of old
diplomacy while Germany has come
to regard the league as the instrument
of her enemies under control of France.
Under these menacing conditions the
opening of London's peace exhibition
seems dangerously premature. Nor is
the internal situation much more fav-
orable. The Labor government found
ers along unsteadily, now held up
right by the Tories, now by the Liber-
ais, while their own extremists rage
against Labor playing the role of a
bourgeois government.
The situation of Mr.. Macdonald is
made more difficult by labo, discon-
tents outside. The only people who
strike effectively are those in public
employment or in command of pub
lie service, while skilled workers in
:,adeare falling behind unskilled work
ers in wages. Skilled engineers in
London are getting 81 shillings weekly
while tram conductors now have
forced their wage up to 70 shillings
and bus men are paid so shilings. The
result is that skilled engineers are
leaving the country in thousands for
America.
A Gloomy Outlook.
This is creating grave concern for
the future but remedy in the pres
ence of a depression in industry is
impossible to suggest. If the situation
in Eprope took turn for the better,
the problem would be solved, but there
is nothing in the present circumstances
that promises that-solution.
Meanwhile, the finances Of the
country are remarkably sound. The
financial year closes with an unex-
pected balance of 100000 pounds
on the right side. What will Cham
cellor Snowden do with it? He is
strongly urged to apply it to debt re-
demption.
The most interesting personal event
Of the week is the announcement
that Oswald Mosley, Lord Curzon's
son-in-law, and one of the youngest,
most brilliant men in parliament has
left the conservatives and has for
mally Joined the Labor party.

Unitarians to
Vote on Resolution
COndemning War

Boston, May 16.-The result of a
ballot on a resolution condemning
war which is being taken by men,
bers of the Unitarian Ministerial In
ion will be announced at the annual
meeting of the Union here next
Monday. The resolution reads:
Whereas, that we see that war is
the most colossal sin that affects
mankind today that 1t is not only
futile but suicidal and that recogni-
ton of this fact Is necessary to the
continuance of civilization that 1t is
inherently the defiance of common
humanity;
I'VE, therefore, as ministers of
religion and public teachers of NOR
atty, declare now in time of peace
our deliberate determination never
to sanction OF participate in war:
we affirm our conviction that
churches as such ought to refuse
cooperation with governments in
waging war: and we memorabilia the
American Unitarian Association at
its coming session in May to repud-
late the entire war system-econom-
ic exploitation, imperialism and
militarism-to the end that our fell
lowship may take an honorable If
not a leading part among religious
bodies in the abolition of war;"
Regardless of the result of the bal
lot it is expected that the resolution
will be presented to- the annual
meeting of that American Unitarian
Association next Tuesday.
