BE SURE TO VOTE THE GAS BAL LOT
British Labor Front is Solid
Against Communist Doctrine,
Arthur Henderson Declares

Other statements which Mr. Hen
derson made were as follows:
British labor is moving irresistibly
toward an ideal of cooperative COM
monwealth; but it holds fast to the
methods of political democracy and
peaceful persuasions. Only by win
ming majority of the people to la
boris cause can we be sure of holding
the positions we gain, consolidating
them, and moving on to greater
achievements
Our present tactic is the promotion
of a greater understanding of the
spirit, power and purpose of democ-
ment, of western civilization, depends
on the growth of this spirit of democ-
racy, and the development of those
parliamentary institutions in which it
functions.
Labor Conscious of Mission
Conscious of it's mission, believing
in orderly evolution, British labor will
never tramp the Red road of revolu-
tion by violence and armed force, if
the highways of democracy are kept
open. Those who seek to block the
road of democracy assume heavy re-
sponsibility, and invite the danger
they seek to guard against.
This verdict is looked upon as a VIC
tory for organized labor, as this case
has been the subject of much discus
sion in labor circles, and it has been
feared that an adverse decision would
place labor people in a bad position in
future
The judge ruled that before an ar
rest can be made the officer must
know that the picketer knew, or had
reasonable ground to suspect, that the
passer-by intended to enter the place
and buy. No such intent was shown
by the government here, the judge
held He added that even if the gov
ernment had shown such intent he
was not certain the defendant would
have been guilty of violating the reg
ulations.

From the beginning Of this expla.

that this concern does not and never

ton. Perhaps, because Of early IN
fluences, the executive heads h4ve
been possessed Of = more than 0rdi-
nary deep sense Of justice and fair
play toward their associates and the
public, and these in turn may have
inspired many Of the revolutionary
policies that haye been put into prac-
tice. But these policies have only
have been made operative only after
it had been determined that they
would prove sound.
Il may seem cynical thing to say.
but II Is q scientific fact that practoic-
ally everything anyone does is based
on his conception Of self-interest or
self-gratification. And this applies to
our nobIest IS well as our meanest
actions. We do things which We con-
sciously or subconsciously- believe

desires. This il as it should be and

to harmonic perfectly with the lofti-
lest teachings and the most altruistic
ambitions. Even unseIfishness Is sell

Therefore, when our men work ov-
ertime they do 50 because it is dis

age as well as from q sense Of loyal

ment they get out Of the work. And
the organization, in turn, has made it
possible for the individual profit from
extra effort, not only from a sense
Of justice and fairness, but also as q
means of insuring. its own successful
operation. -
Oftentimes the things which we do
as a means Of satisfying our own
sense Of fairness win react, unexpect-
edIy, to our own material advantage
and il win be found that we have acci-
