"A long well of desirable freedom from industrial turmoil," he continued, would undoubtedly be of general benefit if it could be arranged. But the spirit which has now been prurcked does not make for understanding. The outlook for mutual agreement is not bright, and the sacrifices which the workers have had to endure have not hastened the trade re- vival which cheaper, labour was said to guarantee.

In many trades the employers had pressed their point to extremes, and en fareed reductions because all the condi- tions of economic pressure were on their side. Where resistance was offered the end was often defeat, and employers who cared little whether their works were shut down or not drove a hard bargain. This inconsiderate use of power would later on arouse a desire for retaliation, and Wed. demands for advances might be made in
spirit of defence when the conditions Ther 25 of the labour market- had altered. 50

INTERNATIONAL BLONDERS,
Alike in international affairs and in Lindustrial questions, Governments were at length driven by the pressure of their Icsses to approach the remedies which alone Labour continued to press upon statesmen, with but little encouragement until now from any quarter whatever. Before the war ended, and, consistently since its close, Labour "urged that a peace should be based upon goodwill and co-operation, and that a policy which anught the economic collapse of the de- feated peoples would surely recoil upon the victors.

The Labour plan was to enable the beaten countries to repair the devastated areas through the medium, of an international loan, which the defeated countries would repay, but which all the countries would help to raise.
