LABOUR AND THE LEAGUE

FEARS OF STATESMEN.

Paris, February 16. The labor- ing man's conference, which is now meeting in Paris, including representatives of mbet fof the Allied nations, has many ideas and plans hidden away in its membership, but one idea, anter tained by the British delegation, is receiving considerable attention from the statesmen who are participating in the Peace Con ference itself.

The British labour delegation has come to Paris-with--this memorandum, prepared by the Advisory Committee of the British Labour party

"The administrative acts of the league will in fact, mark it as a world government. If it rations daily bread and raw materials to theearth it will by that act alone become, both to labour and to capital, the most terrific con- centration of power in the world. The Powers which dominated the executive department of the league would be the arbiters of mankind. In these councils of governmental cabintets the true solidarity of the masses would not be reflected.”

In order to escape this threaten- ed government of the world by statesmen alone, the British delegation has been advised by its home board to suggest that a parliament must be formed to control the executive department of the league. Thus it is hoped to escape the importance of the state, as a power, and to empha- size the sovereignty of public opinion."

The British labour plan is to have the members of the controll- by the various peoples or by the ing Parliament elected directly
