Meet Against :
WAR IS CALLED
Australian Labor Party
Sends Invitations
BY W. FRANCIS AHEARN,

BY w. FRANCIS AHEARN,
Federated Press Sttaff Correspondent
MELBOURNE, Australia (5y MaIi).
Tho federal executive Of the Austria
Han Labor Party has Issued formal In
VltatIons to labor organizations In tht
United States, Canada, Japan, China
india, New Zealand and several Of IN
South American republic to q Pan
Pacific conference to be held at Homo
lulu in the third week Of November
next. The object Of the proposed oon-
ference Is to bring together tho repre-
sentatives Of labor and other organlza-
tions from countries bordering on the
Pacific Ocean with view Of arriving
at better understanding In respect
to the future peace of the Pacific.
Other Questions.
In addition to the question Of peace
and war, any business may be intro
duced, providing it is of joint inter
Pacific Importance and is notified IN
time for its conclusion in the agenda
of the conference.
The basis of representation at the
conference is not hxed or arbitrary,
but 1t is expected that the delegates
from organizations participating will
be credentialed by the chief executive
of their organizations and be financed
by their respective organizations. A
small contribution will be expected
from each organization represented to
cover the cost of meeting place, pre-
pairing and printing reports, etc.
Anti-War Purpose.
The proposal to hold the conference
is the outcome of a decision of the fed
eral conference of the Australian La
Dor Party, held In November, 1924,
when the following ant-war declara-
ton was adopted:
"That this conference, convinced
that with another great war the horA
rors and terrors of the last will ~
eclipsed, afflrms 1t to be the duty OF
the Australian labor movement to
declare that, under no circumstances
should the workers take up arms in
the interest Of international rival
rles, but, instead, will Join with the
workers of all countries In striving
wholheartedly for peace by Inter
national action"

think of England, capitalist England.
first, and the working class last.
The British capitalists consider
themselves the guardians OF England
and the empire and rightly so, they
own them.
But for leaders of workers to adopt
this viewpoint is simply to deliver the
workers under their influence to the
ruling class in every crisis.
THE British rulers may and un-
doubtedly did differ on the tactics
to be used in fighting the workers, but
on the main questionable should
rule in England-they were a unit.
State, church and press were solid
against the strike. And here we make
the connection between the right wing
leaders Of the Thomas type and the
blacklist reactionaries who backed
the government.
What essential difference is there
between the Thomas statement that
the workers have no right to say
to the employers that you must nego-
tiate under the threat of a strike" and
the following statement of Cardinal
Bourne made at high mass in West
minister Cathedral:
81. There is no moral IustIfea-
tion for general strike Of this char
aeter. Il is direct challenge to law
fully constituted authority and In
tllets without adequate reason i'm
mense discomfort and Injury on mil
lions Of our feIlow-countrymen It lie,
therefore, totally against the obedI-
ence which we owe God, who Is the
source of that authority, and against
the charity and brotherIy love which
are due 20 our brethren.
"2. All are bound to uphold the
government and to assist the gov
eminent which is the lawfully con-
stituted authority of the country and
represents, therefore, in its own ap-
pointed sphere the authority of God
himself"
CARDINAL BOURNE upholds the
~ government, Thomas and MacDo-
maid will not fight against the govern
ment. Both are enemies of the work
ing class which find the government
blocking it's way both to a decent
living standard and to power.
The most important lesson of the
general strike for British labor and
for labor in every land except the
Soviet union where they learned this
lesson nine years ago and have never
forgotten it, is that capitalist govern
ment is the concentrated force of the
capitalist class and that trade union
leaders and leaders of working class
political parties who have not learned
this lesson or, having learned it will
not act in accord with it, must be
deprived of power in the labor move
ment and driven back into the ranks
of the open enemies of labor where
they belong and in whose interests
they function.

police duty during the strike as spe-
