Spelling the Young PIan7-

ATOW that that wrinkle has been
IN ironed out, let's hope that the
Hague conference will get down to
business.
1t would be unfortunate, indeed,
if the Young plan, which was
worked out with so much patience
and skill, were to come to grief,
because a bunch of diplomats and
politicians can not discuss it, with
out getting mad.
If that is impossible, it would be
a good idea to adjourn The Hague
conference and assemble another
group of business men to straighten
out matters.

Row at the Hague

TINE Hague conference spends a
= couple of days to determine
whether one delegate insulted an
other, and, after deciding that he
did, to make him offer a technical
apology.
That is one trouble with confer
ences.
In nine cases out of ten they
spend more time smoothing out wise
cracks than in discussing what they
we're called to consider.

SnoWden'S ApopIexy


TN this particular instance Philip
L Snowden, British chancellor of
the exchequer, characterized what
the French minister of finance said
was "grotesque and ridiculous"
The interpreter had sense enough
not to translate the words literally,
so that M. Cheron, who did not I'M
derStand English, left the confer
ence without ever realizing he had
been insulted.
Some of his colleagues, who did
understand English, were good
enough to spoil the interpreters di-
plomacy, whereupon M. Cheron
rushed to M. BRAND, French pre-
n1ier, and demanded that Mr.. Snow
den be made to apologize.
Then there was a meeting Of
French, Belgian, italian and ia
panese delegates which resulted in
a decision that the conference could
not overlook the incident.
Baron Houtart of Belgium was
delegated to call on Mr.. Snowden
and acquaint him with what was
expected.
Mr.. Snowden offered the expla-
nation that when he said "grotesque
and ridiculous" he referrerd to NJ.
Cheron's speech and not M. Cheron.
Baron Houtart conveyed this mes
sage to the assembled delegates, but
they found it unsatisfactory, and he
returned with demands for a more
explicit apology.
Then Mr.. Snowden said that the
words he used we're not regarded
as offensive in the English Ian
guage, and that he did not realize
that they might be so regarded in
French.

Gernany'S Comeback

~ RMANY's comeback is the
" most amazing aspect of the
postwar period.
1t will be remembered that when
German representatives complained
of the harshness of the Versailles
treaty, especially, in connection with
regard to disarmament, President
Wilson said that the German people
would find it much easier to re-
cover with their soldiers back in
civilian life and their government
relieved of the enormous military
budget.
That is one of the few prophesies
that have come true.
AS a military power, Germany
may be weak, compared to what she
was before the war, but as an in
dustrial, scientific and economic
power, she is making a rapid recov-
cry.

MEXICO CITY (By MaiD The
first legislation to be taken up I'M
der the administration of the new
president, Emilio Portes Gil, will be
a new labor code. The Mexican
constitution, adopted at Queretaro in
1917, contains an extensive chapter
on the rights of labor-Article 1873
which up to the present has been
regulated by presidential decree.
Many of the provisions of Article
1913 are vague and underlined. The
GROIN, until recently The official
labor organization, has long at
tempted to get a satisfactory labor
law adopted in accordance with the
constitutional provisions. Thus far
it has been unsuccessful.
Portes Gil announced that his
first administrative act would be to
bring before congress such a bill.
He has drawn up such bill, accord
ing to his own ideas, supposedly
DdSCu Oll piiOi COiiNSt SdOlOIio Win Vic

Obregon. Even before taking of
flee as president, Portes Gil, while
still secretary of the interior under
President Gales, submitted this bill
for discussion to a mixed convention
of employers and workers, composed
of about a hundred delegates each.
The GROIN was represented in this
assemblage with about twenty mem
hers; the remainder of the workers
delegates were independent unions,
among the latter being the railway
syndicates. This mixed convention
had only power to discuss, the I'M

quently harrassed labor unions, yet
the labor union is prevented from
taking action to block such pro-
cedure. Furthermore, the labor
unions cannot engage in any COM
mercial activity. This is capable of
many interpretations, and it might
prevent the establishment of coop
eratives and all such similar enter
prises. The unions may not accept
as members agitators or persons
who carry on "a propaganda of dis
solvent IDEAS" This permits the
government to eliminate from the
labor unions anyone whom it con-
siders is not propagating the proper
ideas. The words used are so vague
and elastic that this clause alone
would permit of the elimination of
leaders proposing strikes or any
other normal working class activ-
ity. The unions may not force an
employer to dismiss or refuse to
employ a worker, without "just
cause" Many of the Mexican unions
handle the placement of their men,

The labor movement Of Australia

there have succeeded, by means of

Jurisprudence, represent the inter-
ests and "lead" the struggle of the
working masses before the arbitra-
ton judges.
On the other hand they have sue
ceeded in instilling into the working
masses the belief that the arbitra-
