LEAGUE OF NATIONS,
BRITISH PREMIER'S SPEECH
PREPARE FOR ARMAMENTS DEBATE,
ALL NATIONS MUST PARTICIPATE
(Reuter's Service:}
GENEVA September 4.. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, the British Premier, at the conclusion of his speech before the assembly of the League of Nations, said the way must be prepared for the conference on armaments, as without preparations the conference, would be a
fallure.
All nations, he said, must participate in that conference. The Lordon Conference had helped towards this end: Britain adhered in the Covenant of the League and did not desire to weaken ft.
Certain articles of the Covenant could be embodied in the Charter of Peace (Cheers.)
The matter should be referred to a com- niltice before the Assembly separated, while the members worked to enlighten püßlle opinion in their own countries...
M. Camerlynck translated the whole speech into French.

TRADE UNION CONGRESS.
REVOLT AGAINST COMMUNISM.
“BULWARKS AGAINST DESPOTISM.”
ADDRESSES BY FOREIGN DELEGATES.
o (Renter'a Service.)
LONDON, September 4 The and Communist revolt of Labour ne ex- cimplified in the speeches and resolutions at the Trade Union Congress is further illustrated by the decision of the Executive of the Labour Party, meeting at Hull, that members of the Communist Party may be accepted as delegate to the Confér ence, but cannot be endorsed on Labour Candidates. Mr. Pollitt, a boilermaker, and one of the Communists affected by the decision, when inter viewed, said it would compel ovaný Trade Unions to consider their relationship with the Labour Party, but he was confident the Labour Conference would reject the decision.
VIEWS OF FOREIGN DELEGA IES. The foreign delegates addressed the Trade Union Congress to-day. Mr. Brady, of the American Federation of Labour, said they believed in international kinship because Trade Unions were the only substitlul bulwarks against despotisms like Kaiserism and Bolshevism; but it was impossible for the American Federation to participate in an international federation of Trade after-Unions, which, by the vote of a few individuals, could commit them to a policy completely at variance with their ideas..
Mr. MacDonald and M. Herriot shook hands warmly before leaving the Assembly, which adjourned until this afternoon.
"AFTERNOON. DEBATE.
When the debate was resumed in the nooh, the Polish delegate; M. Ikrzynski, strongly favoured arbitration. He advocated disarmament, but said security must come first.
Mr. Cheriton, the Australian delegate, who was warmly cheered, urged the convocation of a conference on disarmacient without delay. Disarmament, he said, was the only sounds founda tion for the League
Mr. Van Karnebeek, the Dutch representative, explaining why Holland had not subscribed to the Guarantee Pact," said the strict application of the Covenant of the League, in his view, was sufficient to assure the peace of the world, provided all disputes were submitted to the ruling of The Hague Court.
EARLY PROCEEDINGS.. The Salle Reformation was packed long before the Assembly met. The delegations slowly dribbled in. Lord Parmoor, Mr. Henderson, Mrs. Swanwick all took their places. Only Mr. MacDonald's seat was empty. Presently Mr. MacDonald, wearing a lounge suit, unostentatious and unnoticed, appeared in the hall, having already had a great reception outside. Although working until a late hour Mr. MacDonald was early astir giving the final touches to what is expected to be a historic speech. He had previously privately conferred with all the Dominion representatives and explained-fully-the-main-lincs to be followed.
OPENING OF DEBATE.
Mr. MacDonald opened the debate for a redue tion ir armaments with a speech which lasted one
hour.
Mr. MacDonald was ovated for five minutes. Then there was complete silence when he rose to speak. His speech was frequently punctuated with applause, especially when he saltl We are here to lay the foundation of peace.". He declared that his presence was a pledge that Britsin intended to use every means in its power to widen and increase the Influence of the League.
He would do his utmost to lay the foundations of peace (Loud applause) He emphasised that all the delegations, of which he was the chief, had determined to put all their ideas in a common pool. Britain had not subscribed to the pact of mu- tual assistance, not because she was Indifferent to publle security, but because she felt they had not
yet properly prepared the soil. Britain wished to carry out every letter of her obligation, but would not sign an indefinite proposal which, if she tried to carry out, public opinion would probably make impossible. But_the_last_word had not been said in the pact. We must have the whole world with 'us.
The
He declared they could not afford, to allow Germany to remain outside the League. London Conference had created a new relation, and should bring Germany into the Assembly, (Cheers.). The matter should be taken up by this Assembly.
7 Russia had helleved in revolution, therefore did not favour the League, but Russia hed changed and the Anglo-Russian Agreement was paving a way for Russia entering the League. Dealing with the question of security. Mr. MacDonald pointed out the difficulty of establishing who was the aggressor and dwelt on tho' system of arbitration. If we were unable to elaborate a proper system of arbitration, then we must return. to military parts.
*
Mr. MacDonald said the pact should clearly define the nature of the obligation of each state and also when arbitration would operate.
Ho emphasised that, the optional, arbitration clause should be thoroughly examined before Britain and the Dominions could adhere to it. Cheers.)
Arbitration was directed at the problem of armaments. He pointed out that as regards' naval armaments, Britain hed fulfilled the Washington, Agreement as she fulfilled all agreements. «re

Mr. McClelland, of Canada, said the workers.of Canada were troubled at the question of immigra tion The gates of Canada, were opened wide. Last year 133,000 entèred but 183.000 left Canada to find a living in the United States.
Mr. Tomsky, Chairman of the All Russian Council of Trade Unions, said the Labour Move ment was worldwide, realising the necessity of greater concentration and centralisation to meet the growing internationalisation of capital....
Vanquished in the Great War, in which the workers of the world were the victors, there were small groups of profiteers in each country.
The iron hand of world capitalism was now Belzing the German proletariat by the throat.
The Dawes plan, he said, was on'y a new at scheme of exploitation, which could only result in Increased trade competition.
He concluded by saying that the Russlan workers desired to co-operate in the fight against the comtoit enemy.**
; CONCENTRATION OF LABOUR.
Council, through the International Federation of The Congress agreed to empower the General Trades Unions, to take ali possible steps to bring together the different elements in the Labour Movement in Europe la an effort to establish solidarity, making for world peace. The President. said communications had been received from France, Italy and Germany, showing that Con- tinental Nations were looking for the lead-from Britain, where unity was most firmly established. Therefore,. It seemed incumbent on the British movement to take steps to cobsnmmate the desire and thus fulfil its great destiny.
