"LABOUR IN OFFICE AND IN- POWER.
One thing I must say. I regard, and I am sure every man of peace and good will in Europe regards, the rise of an extreme" nationalism. in Germany as a great menace dangerous to Europe itsel and deplorable for Germany as well. Do not let us be falsa to qurselves abou NO NEED FOR ELECTION FOR TW that. The policy of the Allies is largely responsible for this rise of German nationalism.
Mr. Banisay MacDonald, speaking at York on April 19th in connection with the annual conference of the Independent Labour Party, said:
If I had met you last Decemibor I doubt if a single respectable person in York would have come out to attend the meet- ing. Those respectable people would, I feel quite certain, bave been reading rospectable newspapers, the Rothermere and the Beaverbrook-that kind of news”) paper,

Every morning these respectable people got up in that dreary and dark, month of December they would have looked out to see if the heavens still stood.
GERMANY" ON HER PRIDE! We can deal with the mattor in one or two ways. We can say to Gennany re garding this Experts' report: "We know you are going to default and we have made out our programme of punishment preparatory to your proving yourselves to be false." The result will be that Germany will be false. You croate a psychology that makes her a cheat.
There is the other way to deal with it.. Let us say to Germany?
We are going to accept your word. If you say you are going to accept those reports we will take you at your word. We have no pure- parations to meet any default on your part If after this solumn obligation you do default, then we will be cléser Allies than ever. But we trust you." What is the psychological effect of that? Why, my friends, with nations as with indivi-

The greatest danger that Germany offers. to Europe now is not the danger. of arms. It is the danger of industrial deterioration. You compel Germany by political or military force to abandon its eight-hours day, to deteriorate its cur reacy, to create a condition of things which means that the mark in of lean value on the London market than it is on the Berlin market, anil what happens ?

I am never allowed to forget a dictum, which is more false than true, that we are in office but we have po power Whoever is in office has opportunity, and opportunity is always power;
Office and no power! Have we 'not re- cognised Russia Is there not in London
That is caused by the policy of foreign Governments imposing tributes upon Gar many that Germany can only pay out of the degraded lifeblood of the German working man. That is turned into cash, into goods, and those goods meet you knot only here but also in every neutrali
market
So long nó a false idea of patriotic duty. and the stupidity of the idea of military security keep Germany in that position. on long is the great industrial menace of Germany kept going and the future of Great Britain is held in jeopardy.

But they had not a grip on how to solve the problem as we have They hoped they were doing a great deal in satisfying what they called private enterprise.
