The Story the Week Has Told

lament effect repeal Of the trades dis
putes act, and Arthur Henderson, for
eign minister, promised, on behalf of
the government, that repeal would "be
put in the Kings speech opening Par
lament and would be one of the ear
Hest measures introduced" This Is very
important as challenging dissolution.
Mr.. Macdonald made q statement
which may be presumed to forecast the
British governments attitude inNthe i'm
perial conference on commonwealth
economic relations, as follows: I'VE
want cooperation in the world, not
separation, and we know we cannot
get 1t by adding to tariff walls. The
use of political boundaries for economic
purposes must be stopped, and only
Socialists can do that"
A resolution of censure, declaring that
the failure of the government to lessen
unemployment was due Ito its tiTnidity
and vaccilation in refusing to apply
rejected.
GERMANY.-The trial by the Ger
man Supreme Court of three Reichs-
wehr officers charged with Fascist ac-
tivities in the ReiSchwehr amounting to
treason ended on October 4. They
were found guilty and sentenced to dis
missal and to 1S months imprisonment
in a fortress. GA not very harsh mode
Of confinement, since a good deal Of
freedom of movement is allowed and
food and drink for the prisoners are
admitted. When the sentence was pro-
nounced a roar of protest arose from
vast crowd in front of the court house
About 100000 out of about IS, 000,-
600 persons who voted at the recent
German elections voted for candidates
Of parties whose representatives in the
late Reichstag voted against the Young
plan. It seems a reasonable statement
that more than half those voting on
September II registered demand for
at least drastic revision in Germany's
favor OF the Young plan.
The Socialist party representatives in
the new Reichstag have notified to
Chancellor Bruening an attitude of be-
nevolent neutrality. This would seem
to assure the success of the essential
part of Herr Bruening's important rs
cal program. The notification was &C.
companied by the statement that the
results Of the recent elections constrain
the party to postpone other objects to
the defense OF the constitution and the
parliamentary system.

AUSTRIA.-We do we'll to follow the
Austrian developments. Herr Schober
has accepted leadership of a Liberal
bloc for the coming Austrian elections.
The pan-Germans have indicated their
adhesion thereto. The attitude of the
Farmers party is awaited. Said the
spokesman of the bloc in Offering the
leadership to Herr Schober: we want
form of moderate liberate Liberal
bloc, composed of those elements which
while opposed to socialism, are also OPP
posed to militant clericalism and the
corruption as well. We have asked Herr
Schober to undertake the leadership of
this bloc, as he is the only man able
70 settle the difficult national situation
ana compress the Heimwehr movement
Dack into its proper limits. We hope
the moderate Heimwehr men will join
US, and we are negotiating with them.
The behavior Of the Christian Socialist
party to Herr Schober, who saved
Austria from disaster a year ago, Is
inexcusable."
The bloc is heartened by signs of dis
cord in the Heimwehr.
The Austrian government has revoked
the order banishing from Austria Mai
Pabst, the notorious Heimwehr leader
fire-eater and trouble brewer.
