LABOUR'S STAKE IN THE WAR
MR. HUGHES'S CHALLENGE TO FREE TRADE.

ENGLISH WAR WORKERS.
AN AMERICAN POINT OF VIEW.
[FROM AN AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT :/TQ -
THE TIMES."]
Mr. Hughes, the Prime Minister of Australia, sounded a stirring call to the people to organize for victory in a speech- For 10 hours each night, in explosive which he made to a patriotic Labour de monstration at Queen's Hall, arranged proof houses shaken by the roar of ma by the British Workers' National League.hinery, or filled with the fumes of picrie
The following are the main points in the speech -
The issue of the war means life or death to Labour. Britain, which believes in Liberty and Right, is arrayed against a people governed by Despotism and believing in Force,
It is the people's war. They alone can ensure victory; hut victory can only he won by organization.
British industries, as a whole, are not organized at all: to compete success fully with those of other nations they must be as completely organized as an army.
Until we organize on a national basis, as Germany has done, we ennast hope to win the war or hold our own in trade. You cannot organize apolies of
laissez faire. Now industrica need to be created to help industries formerly dependent on Ger- man help; and science must be called in to help. More food must be grown at home, and the balance necessary obtained within the Empire.
The welfare of the nation depends on its crop of men; and industry must be so organized as to secure a numerous and virile people. This means reasonable wages, Recure employment, and healthy inbour conditions.
This war has given hundreds of "thou
sands of uten and wouet their first taste of decent wages and labour candi tions. If they do not want to go back to the old conditions or worse they must look to their future now; while they have the opportunity.
If we do not act prom ly, industria! chaos will accompany peace. The people must organize, nat only to win the war. but to reap and retain the fruits of victory.
Du not be galled by parrot talk about Free Trade. Labour owes nothing to the policy of faissez faire, which is hopelessly unfitted to cope with this great crisis.

THE OPERATIONS AT TSINGTAU.
TRIBUTE TO JAPANESE GUNNERY, The British War Office has issued the dispatches written by General Barner diston describing the operations of the British forces taking part in the Taing tau operations.
The British Commander says that throughout the bombardment the Japan- ese artillery was surprisingly good, both in regard to accuracy and numerical superiority, and was the principal factor compelling the surrender of the Germane --Mainichi-Chronicle Service.
The following are some of the other points made by Lord Montagu in the course of his speech-
I thought of this canteen, again, when I was driving home, after seeing the shipping rooms of the factory where the great crates were being nailed up and labelled; after seeing the offices of the works where, in their private rooms, men from France, Russia, and England judgment on the shells exported for their pass countries. I am not sure why this can teen, where 500 workers have each night their dinner at 12 o'clock, and their tea at dawn, should have brought home to me the fact that night was day for 3,000 women, and had been so for 18 months. In the east the dawn was breaking. But I was thinking of the women bending over those endless rows of machines, of how they would go home not at sunset. but at sunrise. I was thinking that I had seen a wonderful thing, not only good labour and pride in work, not only one of the little armies of the big war, but a little army 3,000 strong, and of women.
