EXPERT DECLARES
HEADS BLUNDERED
John Maynard Keynes Says
Proposal Should Have Been
Put Up to Men.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, May 6.-John Maynard
Keynes, noted British economist. to-
day analysed the British strike situa-
ton for The star and the Chicago
Daily News in, an exclusive interview
yesterday.
THE strike situation ought never
to have arisen-for two good reasons "
said Mr.. Keynes. The leaders of
both sides honestly wanted to avoid
It. although some of their less re-
sponsible followers may have been
not disinclined for a try-out.
When both parties want to avoid
something, only clumsness or stu
pidity can bring it about. But there
is another reason, and here the
fault. / think. lies with the govern
ment.
"Negotia tons should never have
been broken off. even though it had
cost a short prolongation of the sub
sidy until the men had had put be-
fore them a concrete proposal along
tho lines approved by impartial opin-
ion, in conformity with the report
OF the government coal commission,
and until they had time to consider
htbA tIS9A II anu IIdd OtiIDti dIt.lN
refused it. This they never had.
Reason Is Besr
III the miners had deliberately re.
fused a fair and generous offer. il Is
most unlikely that the Trades Union
Council would have supported them
with a general strike.
Now by fatal laundering we are
out OF the atmosphere OF reasoned dis
cussion. But let not American opinion
misunderstood. On the whole. work
ing class sympathies are wholly with
the men. But there is no excitement,
no passion. not a flicker of revolution
airy sentiment. This is not the atmos-
phere Of London today. The atmos-
phere is just one Of depression, help
lessness and dismay at the fault al
reason and common sense.
ION some terms, good or bad. Of
fered by the government the men will
go back. But such a termination will
settle nothing. The problem of evolv,
ing a better way OF conducting our
business in an industrial society as
complex as Americas. but no longer
assisted out of its difficulties and mis-
takes as England used to be and as
America still ia, by a CresCendo of
material progress, will remain for fu.
ture solution.
Will Aid Labor Party.
II am inclined to predict that the
future political effect of the present
breakdown Will be a considerable in,
crease in the parliamentary strength
OF the Labor party. Labor should be
expected to win the impending bye
elections in doubtful constituencies.
Prime Minister Baldwin has come
out Of the negotiations well, 50 far
as the temper and good will count.
He fell down through his lack of
fertility of resource and hts failure 10
offer any constructive suggestion. But
he will have lost what was perhap s
his chief asset, namely. his reputation
as a safe man under whose honest,
quiet and benefcent rule nothing
serious would ever happen.
