RADICALS ROUTED
IN LABOR PARLEY
British Party DIsposes Of
Communist AffiliatiOn
Question.
By the Associated Press

LIVERPOOL, England. September
29.-The parliamentary Labor party
at the opening session of its confer
ence today decisively disposed of the
vexing question of Communist affilia-
ton.
The radicals were routed when the
ed motions to refer back to committee
resolutions calling for the exclusion of
individual Communists from local la
Dor parties and advising members not
to appoint known Communists as dele
gates to the conference.
c. T. Cramp. head of the railway
mems union and chairman of the con-
ference, in his opening address said
that labor's fundamental task was not
to wage war against individuals or
any class. but to conquer the circum-
stances which had given rise to class
warfare.
There should be no revolution by
force, he said. and the position of
those who would apply methods Of
force should be scrapped as antiquat-
ed. being about 100 years behind the
times.
Much has been heard about it's be-
ing the duty of labor to condemn the
DdWcS pan. Tie uepTetdl-
ed such criticism. The plan had been
indorsed by various labor conferences
and to repudiate it would be equiva-
lent TO an invitation for the German
workers to destroy the preCarious bal
ance of European peace and plunge
their country again into the horrors
of a military occupation.
The radical section got its first set
back when, by 2,954,000 votes to 321.-
900, the conference refused to refer
back to the standing order committee
its report which included a resolution
that no member of the Communist
party be eligible to become a member
of any individual section of any affil-
lated local labor party, and another
advising members that when electing
delegates to the conference they
should not appoint known Commun-
lists.

GERMANY SURPRISED.
Stresemann's Note Leaves Press and
Public DaZed

BERLIN, September 90 P).-The
fact that the German foreign minister.
Gustav StreSemann. instructed Ger
manys Ambassadors at London
Paris, Rome and Brussels to accom-
pany formal acceptance of the invita-
tion Of the allied powers to a security
pact conference by verbal note, rails.
ing the question of war guilt and res.
ervations respecting entry into the
league. has left German politicians,
press and public virtually dazed Not
only was the German press unpre-
pared for this, but 1t is also asserted
that the federal premiers and foreign
rela tions committee were left in the
dark The unexpected action seems
to have occurred at the very moment
the committee was debating whether
to approve the governments accept
ance.
There is general confusion in Berlin
as to whether the verbal note merely
had reference to Germany's position
on the war guilt question, Cologne
evacuation and entry into the league.
or whether the note insisted that Ger
many would not sign security pact
unless her position on these matters
was accepted.
The foreign Office, aroused by the
demands for Qualification, now states
through officially inspired diplomatic
correspondence that the reason for the
verbal note was the fact that the allies
had demanded that Germany enter
the league before the pact could be
concluded.

WAR GUILT MENACE
TO SECURITY PACT.
German Stand Held in Paris
Likely to Hamper Nego-
tiations at Locarno.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, September 29.-Germany'
insistence upon discussion of the mat
ter of war guilt as necessary pre-
liminary to the security pact confer
ence at Locarno came seriously before
the French cabinet this morning.
In some political circles here the
feeling prevails that unless Foreign
Minister Stresemann of Germany is
willing to modify his position the work
of the security conference may be
considerably hampered or even de-
layed. ----.-..-.
Officials this morning declined to af-
firm or deny that the question of war
guilt was taken up in Ambassador Won
Hoesch's conversation with Foreign
Minister BRAND last evening but con-
fidence Is felt in authoritative political
quarters that there was a communica-
ton on the subject and the German
foreign minister requested that it be
kept secret.
Today's cabinet session, therefore
was deemed most important, as 1t
was felt that the whole fate of the
conference might rest upon the de-
cision taken at the meeting.
Serious negotiations between the
allies and Germany will begin in the
rather inaccessible town of Locarno,
southern Switzerland, on October s.
The date and place of the conference
were confirmed officially after Herr
Won Hoesch, the German ambassador
had spent an hour with Foreign Min
lister BRAND.
Locarno was chosen. it is under
stood, because the diplomats consid-
cred it offered the best possible guar
antees against indiscretions. The
town has only one telephone line and
no telegraph. The desire of all the
negotiators. 1t is said in official circles
is to avoid outside discussion and
polemics in the press over the thorny
points of the problem until basis of
agreement is reached.

No Concern Felt.
Even when the Shenandoah began
her first rapid ascent before she was

course, but neither Comdr. Zachary
Lansdowne. the captain, nor Lieut..
Anderson could see any immediate
danger, and the course was held.

were unable to check the rise by
means of the motors and elevators"
Comdr Lansdowne Immediately sent
into the ship from the con-
troll car with orders for the officers to
stand by the automatic valves. After
explaining the ships situation to these
officers, Anderson returned to the con-
troll car to find that the Shena ndoah
still was rising from one to two meters
and then was up between 1000 and
5000 feet.
