After the officers had temporarily

Democracy versus bolshevism Is the
issue In England today.
True, the bulk of organized workers
in Great Britain repudiate nominal
bolshevism. True. the Bolshevtk party
In the nation Is almost microscopically
small. But these executives of organ
ICED labor are proposing to overthrow
the government, to destroy the demo.
cratic principle. to back their class
point of view with force.
England's problems are the concern
Of all Western society-indeed, the
concern of organized human life every
where. England is not like Russia
illiterate. semi barbaric, on the far
periphery Of democratic and capitals
tic civilization. Bolshevism In Eng
land. at the very heart Of the free
world, would be q matter entirely diff
ferent from bolshevism in Russia
Little wonder Premier Baldwin is
aroused. Some nine months ago.
yielding to a menace, he took the un.
precedented step of paying out huge
sums of public money to aid In meet
ing the wage bill Of the coal industry.
British taxpayers, out $1oo,ooo.ooo or
so, are denied the peace for which
they paid when this subsidy failed to
solve the problem.
1HTcbt EOTCcu SUBSIDY.
Direct action, tried in England for
the first time in 1921, failed. In 1926
1t was tried again. The labor spokes-
men told Mr.. Baldwin that he must
get for the miners the wages and
hours they wanted or the allied trades
would paralyZe the communications of
the country. This was the threat that
brought the coal subsidy.
Premier Baldwin and his colleagues
cannot now back down. They are
not only too far committed. but
cherish no illusions to to the nature
Of the pretensions of the union leaders,
and have the support of millions of
British citizens. Conservatism and
proletarian revolution-or. If one pre-
fers, fascismo and bolshevism--will
fight it out in a political arena i'm
memorialiy consecrated to freedom.
L.abor's most distinguished and
brilliant lender in Great Britain,
James Ramsay Macdonald, processes
implacable opposition to capitalism
though he would conserve capital. He
blames capitalism" for the present
trouble. If you are out for real con-
servatism-a conservatism that con-
serves-Mr. Macdonald commends
you to socialism.
Macdonald Against Force.

In 1924: ct am the most conservative

aid is no strong arm politician. Com
n1ensurately with his influence. brute

strained.
So much for the political situation.
The industrial situation is a very DIFF
ferent matter. Persons with any
faith in democracy have no difficulty
choosing between bolshevism and
representative government; between
direct action and constitut1ona1ism'
British organized labor is dead wrong

probably are, irresistible arguments

ISOLATION THEORY
. |SFOUND WANTING
American Trade Expected to
Be Affected, But Some
B. Trades viii Profit.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

DESPITE the outward appearance OF
cntimism and unconcern. there is a
feeling of real nervousness here over
the effects of the British coal strike
on American trade.
The theory that the United States
can get along without the rest OF the
world in u comfortable policy or lsola,
ton, which has so often been advanced
in the American Senate, IL encounter
ing some adverse winds. The White
House has officially Indicated that IT
was not believed that exports OF food
tufts would be affected, because the
latter had been exempted from the
TRANSPORTATION embargo. but In the
confusion of general strike there Is
bound to be delay and congestion.
Cotton Trade Affected.
l. is officially admitted that cotton
exports may be diminished. Great
Britain is Americas biggest custom
81 for cotton And It is the same
with respect to exports generally. The
British buy large part OF the Amer
lean surplus. Under the circum-
stances cancellations of orders are
feared which may cost the American
producers considerable money. De-
partment of Commerce officials have
been loath to make any estimates AS
10 what the British coal strike would
cost the American people.
Fortunately, the losses come at a
time when American industry is in a n
excellent position to meet them, for
there has been a noticeable improve
ment in business conditions and par
ticulariv in the export trade.
But it is not Great Britain alone
which may affect the course of Ameri-
can exports. II the British are tied up
for any length of time in general
strike they will cut off their purchases
Of raw materials from other countries
in the world. The possibilities of a
business depression temporarily in
other countries which in turn buy
goods from America are admitted.
Will Cause Cancellations.
It's an i'll wind, however, which
blows no good. Some of the British
manufactured products will have been
delayed and the consumers will not
wish to wait on delayed British pro-
duction. This means that the Ameri'
can producer will get orders from
other countries which ordinarily ere
placed in Great Britain.
The steel industry in the United
States. for instance, is expected to
prof1t by the British strike. The Brit
ish themselves will be behind when
the strike is over. and there are indl-
cations that some orders for emer-
gency use will be placed which may
in the aggregate help to make up for
temporary losses in the export figures.
On the whole the inter relationship
Of British Industrial conditions with
the American economic situation is
being forcibly brought to the atten-
ton of the American Government,
and the incident will not be lost on
those who have been urging that
American foreign policy should al
ways be conducted with an eye to the
continuance of stable political rela-
tons, because an unsettled Europe
NAV mean a depressed business situa-
ton on this side Of the Atlantic.
