FROM BRITISH GENERAL STRIKE

the numerous Communists of the
country. Eventually this brought on
the strike experiment. the leaders of
labor being too busy elsewhere and
too deeply compromised in the minds
of their followers to be able to head
it off.
Leaders Needed Places.
In the beginning of its growth. as
Shaw Desmond said, the Labor party
strove for the time when every little
Mary Ann and Tommy should have
three meals day and a clean pocket
handkerchief TO wipe their dear little
noses" This worthy aim succumbed
before the more pressing problem of
finding places and dignity for political
labor leaders. The Labor party clung
to abstract Socialist ideals and talked
big about putting the program of in
ternational socialism into effect. but
the rank and file of British workers
was not following the argument, al
though they continued to support
their leaders with votes.
Robert Blatchford described the
situation deftly when he remarked
that what was troubling the factory
girl was not either the downtrodden
proletariat or the theory behind inter.
national socialism. but what she was
going to put in her stomach and what
the duke said to the duchess in the
conservatory after dinner" SO of the
British workingman. His aspira.
tions were those of the stomach
rather than the soul, and that was
natural.
For long it has been the custom OF
British labor leaders to sneer at the
''materialistic" trade unionism OF
America, but 1t should be noted that
the American movement is still doing
| business at the old stand. unembar
rassed by costly failure. 1t will pay
organized labor on this side to broad
cast the differences between it's phi
losophy and that Of the British Labor

CANADA TO NAME
i. S. ENVOY SOON
Vincent Massey Slated as
First Minister of Dominion
at Washington.

BY Consolidated Press.
OTTAWA, October Canada has
passed another milestone on the road
to national maturity.
After months of delay, occasioned
by the difficulty of securing a suitable
man. the Office of Canadian envoy to
the United States is about to be filled.
Hon. Vincent Massey, according to an
announcement made this week by
Premier w. l.. Mackenzie King. is to
be Canada's first minister to WASH
ington. The appointment will he made
as soon as Premier King and Mr..
Massey return from the imperial
conference. which convenes at Lon
don on October 10.
Only 80 Years Old.
Mr.. Massey's appointment will be
popular in both Ottawa and Washing
ton. Although only 80 years of age,
he has crowded a wealth Of experinece
and training into his life that would
seem to At him eminently for the po-
sition of responsibility he is to as
sumo.
In the fields of industry, art. COM
merce, politics and academies he
has been exceedingly active. His
versatility will be quite equal to
the cosmopolitan atmosphere of

And if wealth is factor he also
| has that qualification. To large pri-
vate means of his own there was
| added this Summer by inherita nee
half Of the more than million dollar
estate of the late Chester d. Massey.
whose eldest son he was.

in 1916 was made lieutenant colonel,
and in 1918 associate secretary of the
war committee of the cabinet. He
was then general secretary and later
director of the government repara-
tions committee.
Wide Business Experience,
From 1921 to 1925 Mr.. Massey was
president of the Massey Harris Co.
one of the largest farm implement
industries on the continent. a posi-
ton which. together with director
ships in banks and insurance com
panies, he resigned when he entered
the Mackenzie King cabinet prior to
last years election. At that time he
contested the constituency of Dur
ham. traditionally Conservative
district, in which is situated his
country estate of Batterwood. and
was defeated by 946 votes after n
campaign which awakened hat'obal
interest.
MIR. Massey was one Of the chief
founders of the National Council OF
Education, his idea being to erect IN
Canada an interchange of the educa
tional thought of the world. Under
its lectureship scheme. speakers were
brought to the Dominion from France
Great Britain and the United states
His plan was international in scope.
Architecture His Hobby.
He himself declares that his chief
hobby Is architecture. He has taI
more than an amateur knowledge OF
the subject. Many of his ideas have
been worked out in Hart House. Bur
wash Hall and Simcoe Hall at Toronto.

COUNTY

C. E. Bailey, one Of the county
engineers, has returned from a trip
made to the mainland portion Of
Monroe county for the purpose of
looking over the proposed route of
a highway from the townsite of
Poinsiana, on the west coast, to
the nearest point on the Monroe
county link of the Tamiami trail.
Engineer Bailey, accompanied
by an engineer from the office of
the Tropical Florida Development
Corporation in Miami, walked over
the line of the proposed road and
prepared specifications to be sub
mitted to the county commission
ers at the next regular meeting.
Mr.. Bailey says Monroe county
has vast domain over there that
can be reclaimed easily and at
minimum expense, and can be de-
veloped into one of the most won
derfully productive sections of
the state.
